Emancipation hay lug been already treated ex , ensivelv and ably, I shall not attempt to trespass isa, your attention by going into that subject. The High Sher itf has called us together to con si.ler of the best mode or - the hest form of petition to the Legislature, praying them to adopt means for the protection of the Constitution. Now, till I had read this requisition, I really did not know that the Constitution hail been at tacked, or what the nature of that attack was.— (Loud laughter. )--But, seeing that we are here and that our attention has been called to the subject, I see no reason why I should not tell you what I think is the best niode of protecting the Constitution—l mean the real Con stitution, not that which they mean opposite.--(" We don't want your recommendation ; knock him down.")_ Who told us that the Constitution was in danger q I heard Lord Winchelsea make a broad assertion ; but will Lord Winchelsea tell me that, if Catholic Emancipation be granted, the Constitution will be ruined? If this was the first time that the Noble Lord had turned prophet, we might be inclined to give him credit; but, unfortunately for him, I have heard — and so have many of you--the Fog . - nostications Of that Noble Lord before. I remember, a few years back, the Noble Lord came here and told us then that he was in a state of great alarm from two dreadful monsters which were then besetting the country, and which lie called sedition and blasphemy : one was a monster—the other was a cloud over the country, which threatened de struction. Now, although he stated tUe existence of these dangers in open day, and in a very large assembly, yet no. body but himself confessed to having seen them. The Noble Lord, therefore, must have derived considerable com fort from the Meeting; for it is to be presumed that he went home quietly to Eastwell Park, where be found that the monster was lain, and that the cloud had been dispersed by a thunder-storm. Having thus lost his coadjutors, the Noble Lord might easily he supposed to close the day with the stanza of Macbeth— When ahall we three meet again? —(Laughter.)--But I can tell you where the mistake is. We alt mean the same thing. We all mean to protect the Constitution : but here is the mistake. The Brunswick Clubs have published a new edition of a dictionary, and they have placed an explanation of the word " Constitu tion" different from any thing that we have been taught to understand of it. Thus, opposite " Constitution" we find what is the Constitution. It is, for. I have taken aleaf out of their book, which I have here : I'll tell what it is in their dictionary, "The Aristocracy and Clergy united."— The only mistake is that they left us, the people, out a'to gether.—(Laughter.)—Now, just attend to what our Con stitution is ; and first, of the people, who farm a part of it. I will tell you what the people are. But, first, for the definitioe which is given of them in this club dic tionary.—(Great clamour; cries of " Knock him down," " That speech hat been pat up for sixpence—no more bid ; going, going, gone."—(Much laughter.)—lf you will hear the explanation it will he well for you, for you will hear that which you do not know. I shall read it to you. I will tell you, then, what they say of the " people" in their dictionary. They define tkem to be " a very insig nificant set, composing only nine-tenths of the popula tion, very much shaped like themselves, but condemned by Providence to work hard, to pay tithes and taxer+, and do any thing else for the welfare and comfort of their bev.ers."—(Cheers, and loud laughter.)—Why, gentlemen, let me ask you to look at those Brunswick Clubs. Just look at the Duke of Newcastle.—(He's not here. Shame !)—Well, then, look at Lord Winchelsea. (Here the discontent at these personal allusions became excessive ; the speaker's voice was overpowered by the yells. He, however, remained perfectly unmoved, saying, with the utmost coolness, " Well, Gentlemen, When yore have done, I'll begin." This sally restored good humour.) —I now address myself to the people—to the mass. I shall tell you all how the Constitution may be best sup ported. But, first, I ask you, has anyone of those oppo site done a single generous act in favour of the people? When such people, then, set up their opinions against the phalanx of talent which has been opposed to them, will you set at naught such men as Camden, Darnley, and Teyn ham ? Will you set aside the opinions of the' Howards and Russells, those illustrious families who have bled for their country? Will you prefer to those new-fangled and pigmy Noblemen—only conceive such a person as Lord Winchel sea going to the Peers to vote—(hisses and yells)--such a man as the Duke of Newcastle, the greatest enemy the Constitution ever had. I'll tell you what the best and greatest man of this country said of the Constitution— that it would never be in danger till the Legislative was over-ridden by the Executive. But there was no greater monster in over-riding the Legislature than the Duke of Newcastle. He was represented as having, during his whole life, voted for every measure in support of tithes and taxes;—in fact, of such a cist were all those who assisted in the formation of the Brunswick Clubs. But, brother freeholders, don't listen to them. I appeal to you as yeomen 'and tax-payers, not tax-eaters—l ask you not to be gulled by the cry of "No Popery " that means no King, Church, or State, but a faction. Hold no communion with those who cry out, " Taxes and tithes for ever !" I call upon the tenantry, upon every man who bates humbug and loves his country, not to be gulled this day by boroughmongers and tithe eaters. The Duke of Newcastle, and these Brunswick, or Cumberland, or Winchelsea Clubs—l know not what to call them—they show the tithes to be beneficial—if you listen to them they chow the taxes to be a blessing. Their explanations are like vapours, that mislead. Like the exhalations erf a vapour, they throw a mist over the ground, which soon rises again. But, unlike re freshing showers, the taxes with them rather resemble those large clouds which throw out heat-drops—they fall so much apart as to miss all the people, and fall only into the pockets of the rich. This, then, is the history of the clubs. The Constitution, in our dic tionary, is " King, Lords, and Commons." Now, of these latter, I have been always jealous. My principle is, let the King enjoy his prerogative, the Peers their privi leges, but let us, the people, have our rights."—(Cheers.) —Their Constitution is a one-sided Constitution ; nine is the Constitution of England us it was established, and as we ought to maintain it if we can. But they know that their Constitution is not in its purity; they don't want. it to be so. They are ufiaid that the people are becoming too much enlightened, and therefore they are forming Clubs to lead you astray . . Gentlemen, their Constitution is in danger.—(Cries of " No," from the other side.)-1 tell them it is—the people won't bear the humbug any longer; our Constitution is in deuger also. I have often - met you before here, and I think you will do mettle justice to say, that I have always appeared on the side of those who were jealous of the Constitution— of those who were supporting the principles of reducing tithes and taxes. lam still, my friends, of the same opi nion. My alarms, however, for the safety of the Consti tutionwdr have not been much byinereaesendeov to hat ea has occurred ho t the here this day. If we have no pigmy assailants who have already appeared there is no great danger; but when borough-mongers and tithe-eaters form themselves into Brunswick Clubs, they are then to be dreaded. A little more of those Brunewickers. De you know what the Duke of Newcastle says of the people ? In a letter written by that Nobleman, which I hold in my hand, it appears— Sir JOHN Baynoes, who was in Lord Winchelsea's cart, rose to order. He was about to make some objec tions, but his voice was drewned in the cries of " Go on, Latkin ; give it 'ern home."' Mr. LARKIN—What ! is that gentleman tired of hear ing me?._(" Yes, we are all tired—knock, your last lot down quickly.")—Th e Duke df Newcastle says, " here I see the mischief of popular assemblies," &e. Now, what greater traitor to the Constitution can there be than this ? To deny deliberative power to popular assemblies. Does he forget that the origin of all power is the people—that all power and all Government, according to the Constitu tion of England, emanate from them—that they are the origin of it ;—and yet here is a fellow who outrages all these first principles in his hostility to the cause of the people.—(Here a violent uproar and the loudest outcry was raised. Mr. Larkin was called -to sit down repeatedly—told he was a slanderer, and unfit to name noblemen or gentle men. In the midstef the tempest, Mr. Larkin put a flask to his mouth, and, in the most unconcerned an:naner, drank off a long draught. His excessive ease and self-posseseion ex cited the greatest merriment.)—l told you, said he, resum ing, what our Constitution and what theirs is. After this explanation you must be blind indeed if you take them for guides in the formation of political clubs. And now a word as to the cry of the " Church in danger," which has been raised. If an y danger is to be apprehended, it is from the mode in which the revenues of the Church are now distributed. My opinion certainly is that, a just and fair appropriation of the Chord' lands to the maintenance of a respectable Clergy, would serve the cause of religion tptite as much as any other system. (Question, question.) You may go on clamouring, but I shall keep my ground here. (Laughter.) With respect to the Church, I ad mire the Clergy of the Church et England when they are as they ought to he, not as what they are. I respect their I privileges, but I deprecate their abuses. It is the Church of the Reformation that I seek and admire. Ours is not the Church which those distinguished characters who brought about that great event. contemplated. Do you think they ever contemplated such a state of things to this? Mr. Larkin concluded by calling upon the Meeting to re ' yet this petition. Sir EDW.* RI) KNATCLIBULL, WRS now loudly called, and he accordingly took off his hat, and advanced to the front of the Sheriff's platform. At the same time, however, Mr. Cobbett claimed the notice of the Sheriff, and a contest for precedency of some duration was kept up between them. Sir Edward, once or twice, gave way, but was challenged by the men on the left, nut to yield up his place. Mr. Cobbett was, in the mean time, demandin g of the Sheriff the fulfilment of a pledge which he had given to hear him next. The High Sheriff had given Mr. Cobbett permission to proeeed, but some persons in front of the Hustings became so clamorous, that he was obliged to re mind his decision, and invite the Hon. Baronet to resume his standing place. Sir EDWA RD KieATCHBULL then said—Mr. High Sheriff, I have been ready upon this occasion, as upon every other, to obey your call, and meet my brother free holders in this place. I had thought proper, however, to hold back until this moment, just before, as I presume, the close of the proceedings, in order the better to aacera tain what are really the feelings of this contity upon the great question which has been occupying your attention. The Lord Lieutenant of the county, when he addressed you in the early part of the Meeting, expressed the greatest anxiety that whatever might be the result of the pro ceedings taken here to-day, nothing would occur to inter. rupt the harmony and good understanding which for a long time past has prevailed throughout this great county. (Cheers.) In that hope I most heartily concur, and in the few observations, which at this time of the day I shall feel called upon to make, nothing shall fall from me to in terrupt this good feeling.—(Applause.)—l now stand be: fore you, not in the situation of an Irish proprietor, but as a freeholder of the county of Kent.—(Loud cheer+. ) Ido snore than that, for I appear before you, and alone, as 'one of your Representatives in Parliament, and if the pro. eeedings of this day are of moment to the country, and that there is a general anxiety in all present, respecting them, I assure you that no one shares in that anxiety more than I do.—(Cheers.) —l come before you then, not only to state to you the opinions which I entertain myself; but to ascertain whether since I have been in Parliament, I have faithfully, truly, and honestly discharged the duties of the trust reposed in me.----(", You have."—Cheers.)—ln meeting you upon this occasion, I was no stranger to the fact, that a difference of opinion existed upon the subject which was to be discussed ; but still I came here, in order to meet Freeholders. I did not expect that we should have to meet auy others than Freeholders.— (Applaupes.)—l did not imagine that any one of this county, who should come here for the purpose of advocating the stones which he thought right—and he it observed, I impute nu bad motives to any man-1 say, I did not think that for the purpose of deciding this question, gentleman would have come from the other side of the water.—(Cheers and hisses.)—As a Freeholder of this county, I am bound to protest against such a pro ceeding, and as a Member of Parliament, I am bound more so ; and that protest I shall maintain here and else where, wherever I go.--(Bear.) But I ask yon, Gen tlemen, whether you, who have been assembled here to decide upon this important question, will suffer your opi nions to he swayed rather by the arguments of these advo cates than by the opinions of those who are in the habit of coming to take your opinion upon all questions? I have a right to say so much, though without intending to take from the two Hon. Barristers (Messrs. Shiel and Shea) that right which, as newly created free holders this day, they can claim, but which is so sub versive of every thing right and decorous.—(Laughter ' and cheers.) If upon this point I show any warmth, I pledge myself that it shall be the only ebullition from rne.—(" It is the truth.") Upon the main ques tion before you, I am solicitous to know what your real opinion is. I have always stated in Parliament that the feeling of this county was decidedly Protestant, and I have now to learn front yen whether that opinion is correct or not?—(" Quite correct ; bravo.")—The recep tion I now meet with declares it to be right. I venture to say that, for the last thirty years, there is no occasion, there was no question agitated, which drew to this place so large, so powerful, or so respectable a body upon this occasion. And I do think that when this question comes again to be discusied in the House of Commons, you will authorise me to state the opinions which I have held hitherto.—(Cries of "We will." Much shouting. " Protestants for ever.") —To c n•er into the merits of the question would be im pertinent. Ido not come here to tell you what to do, but to learn your opinions. The opinions of this county, when properly expressed, shall always snake a deep impression upon my mind. At this late hour, therefore, and just be fore, us I apprehend, your being called upon to decide upon the question, I shall do no more than to hope that those gen tlemen who have come from Ireland have, by this time, seen the feeling of the county. I only hope, and as an act of justice I implore them, that when they return they will state what has occurred here, and that when they come to report to those with whom they are politically associated, they will not fail to state that the voice of the county of Kent was almost unanimous against it.—(Loud cheers. —A voice from the liberals— " No, no, you have no right to prejudge it.") But I en treat those gentlemen to add that there does not exist here any unkind or unfriendly feeli ng against their Irish brethren. -:-(Cries of " None whatever.")—lf we, to preserve the Constitution in Church and State, have been compelled to deny them what they ask, it is pot because, we are adverse to them, but because those who watch ever the natiou deem it impossible to confide to them temporal power— (Cheers.)—The Lord-Lieutenant had intimated, nay he had stated it more strongly, that this question would be considered by Parliament shortly, and that some measure would be proposed to set it at rest. The Alaripis CimbEx here explained, that he did not mean to btate it as a fact that any measure was in prepara tion, but only to give it upon his own private conjecture. . - Sir EDWARD KNATCIIBIII.I. had understood his Noble Friend to sey, that the day must come when the question would be discussed. He (Sir E.) did not know what those measures were, but he had no hesitation in saying, in the face of this meeting, that he placed the greatest confidence in the present Government, but that still he should watch it with extreme jealousy. The meeting might rely upon it that, he would never give a vote in opposition to the in terests of the, country. He was not aware what the pro • posed measures would be, but if they were consistent with the safety of the Church and State, be should not hesitate to make concessions.—(Applause.)—But it was because he did not think such a thing practicable, because he had never heard of any scheme that he did think it was likely he should support, and at all events a feW months would not alter a long-formed ( Hear. )—He would not longer take up their time, more especially as the High Sheriff recommended to all speakers to be as brief and as explicit as possible. He bad followed that advice, and he' took his leave assuring them that, till he met them again,; he should do nothing to compromise the Protestant liberties of the country. He asked them to express their oninions, and he hoped they would be found confirmatory of his. [We have avoided giving place to the different breaks that the, uproar occasioned in the Baronet's address, and endeavoured to connect his sentences - as closely as tl4. noise would permit. It is, however, necessary to state, that through more than half of his speech, Mr. Cohbett still maintained his post, and continued to address those of the Meeting who were in his more immediate neighbour•• hood.. His gesticulation throughout was very vehement ; and when be found that it would be better to yield to the Hon. Baronet, and take his turn afterwards, . he amused himself with such ejaculations as—" Ugly beast!"— " Stupid beast !"--" Disagreeable creature !"—directed towards Sir Edward ; and all of which appeared to afford infinite delight to his auditors.] The Hon. Baronet having withdrawn from the front of the waggon, Mr. Cobsett again presented hi►nseif to the Meeting-, as claiming his right to be heard. He was as sailed from the left by :all sorts of cries, noises, uproar, and confusion, and it clearly appeared to : be the determination of the BrunswiCkere not to allow one of his sentences to become audible to their side of the scene of action. - Mr. CA LCILA FT, M.P., likewise presented himself to the Meeting, but whether for the purpose of speaking on the main question, or only addressing the Chair to order, we were unable to distinguish amid the uproar. The Right Honourable Gentleman, however, at length yielded and Mr. Cobbett proceeded to address the Meeting, though considerable confusion reigned during the whole time he WAS speaking. Mr. Corm Err (as soon as we were able to catch the thread of his argument) was alluding to the immense num possessed the tithes, so t h at each Parson on ber of parishes in Ireland , and the very few Rectors in pro portion,oNe or nine parishes t o hi s s h are. (Cr i es have beard th at before; tell us who o a f n a „ ve s r i a ia g n e le l: , a , d a e o i d gh , t , something new.") The result of this system was, that no tithes were to be obtained but by dint of force. They were obliged to be collected by strength of arms, and th e tithe proctors regularly went about from parish to pari s h a rm e d w To i n t h ofguns, The battle.p is s and s swords , in the constant expecte , consequence of this w as , t h at d eat h very frequently ensued in the carrying on of th e strugg l e, an d a seizure very seldom took place without severe wounds on both sides—this then was the way in which the tithes in that unhappy country were obtained ! This then was the religion of Ireland.—(Cheers anti laughter.) —These were the Priests and the Ministers of God, whom the apostle Paul described to Work with hands the things that were good.—(A laugh.)—lt was to these tithes —.4t was to this system of Parsons that they were to look for the true cause of the present (listless in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.)—But they were told by emu,. that Catholic Emancipation would do every thing fir that county Do not believe it ! It would d(oCnhetn.}:sil.')g—forV us; and it wo u ld d o not hi ng f ur Ire the Men of Kent such fools as to believe that all these things wou'd take flight before Gt. tholie Emancipation?—(Laughter, and a series of faint groans from the ()the] side reached Mr. Cobbett's ear. ) Your cry is too faint, nay htieke, continued the speaker. You cry like women, and like women in the family-way, or about as loud as a Parson's squeaking tithe-pig.— (Roars of laughter.)-:-Mr. Cobbett then alluded to the Catholic lawyers of Ireland, and observed that if he had not a great respect for Mr. Spiel, who stood near him, he would describe the mischief that he thought they were capable of doing. This much, at all events, he would sly . on the subject of law—that for his own part, if they m us t have lawyers, he would much rather have the old, dull, l ugeer - gentlemenu g g e r lawyers from lc; laEngland,lreland.—(laughter.)—He _ (I.aughter.)—He would than any of the hot headed also confess, that he would much rather have Sydney Cal craft (who was present), and little Bexley (who ought to be present, for he had signed the Requisition) for public pensioners, than any of the Irish. The pockets of the former were by this tiere tolerably full of public money— tbreee of the latterempty—(Laughter quite and applaus e ) —and he therefore preferred the first on the principle of the story of the poor fox, on whom the flies were feeding ; and some one offering to drive them away, he begged them by all means to desist, as those so employed were probably by that time pretty well satisfied, while, if his carcase should be left unoccupied, the probability was that it would he speedily occupied by a fresh set of rovers, with out a bit of food in their bellies.—(Roars of laughter.)-- Besides, of these Irish lawyers, it should he remenN‘reci, that in 1825 they offered to disfranchise half a million of their poor fellow-countrymen—men of the same religion as themselves ; and at the same time they had offered to put their Priests in such a situation as to receive the i salaries out of the taxes raised on the people of England r —( Hear, hear, and hisses.) so that there were .ve, whose' Parsons taught us that the Roman Catholic religion was idolatrous and damnable, called upon to pey Pupish Pri e sts for upholding and teaching all this idolatry and damn ation—(laughter and cheers) ; by which arrangement, bud it taken place, our bread would have been pretty well but tered on both sides.—(Loud laughter.) Therefore, as far as the single point of Emancipation was concerned, he would elleerfolly join Winelielsea ; but the worst of it was, that the Noble Lord would not continue hi mse lf there : he wanted to have a finger in the 427 parishes of the county of Kent, which were divided between 126 Rec tors and Vicars ; he wanted to share in the places and pensions of the army and navy, and to continue us and our children as beasts of burtheu ; and this was the real history of what was meant when they were called upon to support the Constitutiou. He wanted very much to know why these Clubs were called Brunswick Clubs?--(Hear, hear.) What was Brunswick to him (Mr. Cobbett) or to them?— (A laugh and cheers.) What had Brunswick done for any of them ? He remembered that there was the Brunswick family, and that was quite enough of the name of Bruns wick for him.—(A laugh.)—The fact was, that the name was just a trick : by adopting that title they thought to make the people believe that those who refused to join were not favourable to the House of Brunswick. For his own part he had very little to think, or know, or feel, about the House of Brunswick.—(Laughter.)—He was quite content with the family : that was enough fur him, and he did not want any more of it.—(Applause and laughter).—(The cries of " Question " from the other side here became steritorious.]--Mr. Cobbett then pro ceeded to allude to the Duke of Newcastle's letter, and mentioned the sentence in it where his Grace says, " That if they deserted their God, their God would de sert them ;" but he (Mr. Cobbett) wanted to know why his Grace did not call the Deity to whom he alluded his own particular God, for he was very sure that the Duke did not mean the God in Heaven --(A laugh and cheers.)—The Duke of Newcastle, by " his God," meant a golden God, end certainly no one had ever more reason to admire a god of gold than his Grace.--(Great confusion.) A general cry of " Question" was then raised on the left of the hustings, and three cheers were given for closing the proceedings. Mr. COBBETT continued to speak for some time, amidst the confusion, but could be heard only by those imme diately around the waggon where he stood. He concluded by moving, as an amendment, a petition, praying, we be lieve, for the abolition of tithes, and some other sweeping measures of Ecclesiastical Reform. A copy of this petition was handed up to the Sheriff, who, however, never opened nor noticed it. Mr. H. HUNT nest rose and seconded Mr. Cobbett's amendment. Sir E. KNATCHBULL wishel to ask Mr. Hunt if he was nut able to discover from the reception he had met With, that he was not welcome in the county of Kent.— (Cheers, and cries of that Sir Edward is a piece of gross impudence.) Lord RADNOR. said he had neverheard anything more ty rannical than the conduct of Sir Edw. Knatehbull in thus taking it upon himself to dictate to the meeting. Mr. Hunt had a better right to address the meeting than Sir Edw. Knatchbull, for the latter come there to collect the opinions of the freeholders and had no right to dictate to them wh4r these opinions were to be.—(Great cheering, and cries of you call yourself a Member, and break through the rules of public speaking. Lord Radnor then 'entreated a bearing for Mr. Hunt, and the latter gentleman addressed the meeting, while the Brunswiekers quite in character. with all their other proceedings, made their bands strike up, in order to drown his voice, in which object they sn a great measure succeeded. While Mr. HUNT was yet spealcing, another Bruns wicker said, that they had had enough of the sentiments upon that side of the question. (Great laughter and the gentleman looked very furious.) He wanted no more of Catholics. Mr. HUNT then resumed, and said, that he could not help laughing at the singular courtesy with which Sir E. Knatchbull had addressed hum; and if the meeting would listen to him for a few momenas, be would explain to them how he hail deserved it. They were, perhaps, aware that some six and seven and twenty years ago be had been a wholesale brewer at Bristol. At that time Sir Edward Knatchbull went with his family to reside in that place.— One evening Sir Edward had a large party at his house, when he unexpectedly found that lie bad .to beer. He im mediately sent to - his brewery for a supply ; and, though he was alo retail brewer,. his foreman, without any scruple, let him have the quantity which he sent for•, which was four gallons. NOW, four gallons were below the quantity which a wholesale brewer was allowed to send out by law, and from a knowledge of that fact Sir Edw. Kn atehbuhl had ever since refused payment. for the beer which his fore man had se,ld him. What would the Meeting think now of the person who had interrupted hith in perfect cour tesy ? Now, he liked a little fairness.---(Here the uproar became tremendous, and though close under Mr. Hunt, we heard but indistinctly what he said.)—He commented on the Surprise expressed by the Marquis Camden that he shoUld -he suspected of being a radical, and on his declara tion that he never did anything to please the t The Noble Marquis was mistaken—he did a great deal to please the radicals when he resigned his enormous sinecure. —(Cheers.)—He did not know whether he made himself heard or not ; but this he did know, that he had heard very little of what had been said by others. It was then intimated tiilt as it was getting late the Hi g h Sheriff would put the question, upon which Mr. CAfra'AFT said that this was the most barefaced attempt at dictation he had ever witnessed, and he hoped the Men of Kent would not put up with. it. Mr. SCUDAMOR . E . , said, that it was the wish of the Sheriff that Mr. Caleraft and every other gentleman should be heard. Arr. CALCUAFT—How comes it, then, that you inter rupt Mr. Hunt while he is speaking ? Mr. Soun'Aistotte replied that it was too late; and the friou SHERIFF taking no notice of the amendment, put th e question upon the original Resolution. Ia the midst of a most tremendous state of confusion Mr. Honoßs now claimed to be heard as Mr. Hunt bad finished speaking. The Sheriff however put the question in the negative, while - Mr. Hunt was yet speaking; and the liberals, though evidently extremely numerous declined holding up to single hand against the petition, under• cuinstances so unfair and so disgraceful. Mr. HUNT said, he never witnessed so foul a proceeding, and he requested those who were anxious for impartiality not to take any part in the proceedings. Mr. HODG ES rose to - propose an amendment. He ob served, that he had attended many public meetings, but never did he witness. at any of them so foul an act as the attempt of the Lligh Sheriff to put down the free expres sion of opinion on the present occasion. lie would only take the liberty of making two observations on what hail passed on th e other aide. One was a subject which h a d given him great satisfaction, and that was; that for the first time he had heard persons on the other side standing for ward as the advocates of civil and religious liberty. He hoped they were sincere, and he trusted that they would never repent their change of opinion. —(Cheering.)—The secood was a subject of great regret to him. He meant the manner in which their Irish fellow-subjects had been spoken ot: It was true that England conquered Leland formerly. And it.was very true that a conquered people too often became the subject of slander 11 their tnaatets, who sought to cover their own injustice, anti to.extauttate t h e i r misconduct, by aggravating all the errors, and finally assum i n g the utter writ thlesaness of theitevictiens.—(Cheer ing,)—Theae.gentlemen who were this dey e told to go hack to their ternary, and to tell their oeturotryireen that the feel iug here w:s neivereally against their claims, would, he hoped, have the sense to see that that eniversality of opinion was nit so great a Likni represented. —(Cheering.)—He concluded by movin g , . as an amendment—" Resolved, that it it the opinion of this s e, meeting, called for the purpose of petitioning Parliament theto adopt .Protestants telo ;i Establishment eesurea asa i re b n eat r t: e rt i l i e u a l a n, tti ti s t t o a t."PPth°a'; those objects will be hest alteined by leaving to his Ma jesty's 3linisters, who must he well acquainted with the feelings and sentiments of the country, the free exercise of 'their own judgment, in proposing to Parliament, fur the pacification of Ireland and the general benefit of his Ma jesty's dominions, such measures as they may deem proper ; and, whereas, while the Constitution recognizes the right of every man to petition the two louses of Parliament, that any attempt to coatrol those authorities, by selfeon stituted societies, is a direct violation of the principles of that Constitution ; and that ;hie - meeting au now adjourn.". The Earl of RADNOK seconded the amendment, and urged the propriety of adjourning without entering into any further discussion on the topics which had been introduced in the course of the . day, either with respect to the original motion of Mr. Gipps, or the petition subsequently proposed by Mr. Cohbett.—' He urged this proposal for this reason, and he would Sub mit it to the fair and candid consideration of those very gentlemen who had brought the original measure forward. No, no !")—He would put it to them whether they could with propriety come forward to take the votes o'; those who were present, under the pretence. that it Was the real opinion of the county of Kent ? He would even trust to the cool reflection of Lord Winehelsea himself—to the cool reflection of Mr. Gipps, and those other gentlemen who had been mainly instrumeetel in bringing forward the petition to Parliament—whetl er they could possibly sup pose, whether they could so far deceive themselves HS really to believe that the assembly which was then met on Penenden Heath was in a fit state of mind delibe rately to eonaitier all the points that were connected with this impertanteenestion (cries of " Yes I yes !"and uproar.) Could such an opinion, so expressed, he worth one farthing. ( Uproar. )—The questions which had been, raised on the other side- were very different from the resolu tion which had been read,—(Cries of " No quibbling.") He appealed to those who were before and around him, whether a calm and cool decision of the-question was to be expected.—(Hear, hear, and uproar, j o in e d w ith cr i es o f " No special pleading, no humbug. )"—They had a L e arn e d Irish Counsel present , and could they possibly suppose that he could go back to Ireland and reptir: the vote that should be come to as the reel feeling of the people of Kent ? Again, he would ask, if the cool and deliberate opinion of the county of Kent could be obtained on the present occasion. (Cries of " Yee, yes.")—Mr. Cobbett's petition contained —(An immense uproar, in which the speaker's voice was drowned.)—He confessed that be did feel, and he was ready in any way to spew it, Peer of Parliament though he was, that very many of Mr. Cobbet's principles were worthy of the best attention of the cation—(Loud cries of displeasure, and " Shame to take hint for a model ;") and though there were many gentlemen present, who, per ' haps, could not go all the lengths that he did on this head, yet he was sure that all who had been in the habit of read ing that writer's political works, nust have perceived that there was a sense—an understanding about all the views of that author—which rendered him worthy of the highest notice.—(Applause, and cries of shame.) The petition which Mr. CObbett had proposed to substitute was worthy of being heard - and examined with attention, if be (Lot d Radnor) had been allowed to judge from the ab stract that he had:sten of it in the newspapers. (Great uproar and confusion ; a voice exclaimed, " He wants to talk till it is dark, that we may not see how many hands are held up.) His Lordship then gave way, and a terrible scene of con fusion ensued, owing ta the indecision of the Sheriff as to what course he had better pursue; at length Mr. SCDDAMORIE said, the Met sheriff begs me to ob serve that there are two petitions, one of Mr. Gipps and the other of Mr. Hodges; those who are for the petition of Mr. Hodges, will hold up their hats. A great number of hats on the right, and in the centre area, were held up, accompanied with loud cheers. Mr. Scuoemoao continued—Those who are fur the pe tition of Mr. Gipps will hold up their hats. A volt number of hats were instantly exhibited to the left, as well as in the area we have just mentioned ; as near as we could judge, it appeared to us that about five-eighths of the meeting were in favour of Mr. Gipps's petition. The HIGH Gipps's petition is eat ried by a great majority.—(lmmense cheering and waving of hats, accompanied with general confusion.) The Earl of WINCIIILLSRA then moved that capies of the petition be sent round to every town in the kingdom for signatures, which was agreed to unanimously. The NOBLE EARL next proposed three cheers for Pro test int Ascendancy —a proposition which was hailed, on the left of the hustiogs,with tumultuous applause. The cheers were led by the Noble Earl himself, who displayed an ex traordinary degree of energy on this occasion, and produced shouts infinitely louder than any heard during the earlier part of the day. Votes of thanks,' with great applause, were given to the Earl of NA inehelsea for calling the Meeting, and to the Sheriff for presiding over it; also to Sir Edward Knateh• hull for his services in Parliament. As.the Sheriff was retiring with his cavalcade, Sir JOUN BRYOCEs proposed that they should give" one cheer more" for " Protestant Ascendancy." The cheer was instantly given, and the parties of tie triumphant Brunswickers began to withdraw with their banners and music, singing " God save the King," and 0 dear ! what ean the matter be?" The friends of the Catholics left the Heath, without waiting to witness these solemnities and rejoicings, and the immense multitude was quickly dispersed. It is estimated that upwards of thirty thousand men were present. The business did not close till half-past five o'clock, when the twilight was eom honoring.
