TO MR. G. COLTMAN. Sta-4 have just read the account of the Meet ing held at Leicester t.y yourself and Party; but as nothing 'novel or interesting took place I shall pass it over, with the exception ,of Mr. Panes' Letter. From this Letter 1 imagine Mr. Niles wishes you and the SIMPLE °rigs at Leicever to believe that he is a real Reformer, and deter mined to support every proposition its Parliament to Reform the present Representative System. Now, if that be so, I call on You to ask Mr. PArtss, why be voted in the last Session for a Reform of the Scotch Boroughs, but did not on the following night, vote for the Reform of the English Close Boron4iis ? If he refuses to an swer this question, or does not do it satisfac torily, tell him, it is because he 1(1)0%175 it would annihilate 'the power of the Old Whig Aristocra cy, throw open all the rotten Boroughs THEY possess, and produce that amelioration' and im provement in the Constitution, which will satisfy all rational and reflecting men, .without any in road on the existing Rights and Privileges of the People. It will prevent those political Sales of influence and representation, which all good men deplore ; hut then, it wit! destroy the corrupt and abominable • influence of the Whigs, which Mr. PARRS and the Opposition are so anxious to per petuate-and maintain ! • If you, Sir, and Mr. W„DRAYTON, Mr. T. FIELDING, Mr. R. Cooxe, Mr. BREIVIIN, Mr. W. GARDENER, Mr. S. T. BAURART, and your Revs.. REND Compeer, Mr. DEACON, are really sincere irl your wishes for Reform, it is your duty to in form Mr. PARRS that you expect him to support every measure which has for its object the open ing of the English Close Boroughs, and of putting them under the rime regulations 'as the Elections for Counties and Cities. I shall resume this subject, and as You have brought yourself before the Public on the present occasion, I trust you will not feel offended, if by so doing I extend the sphere of your Political Career beyond the limits of the STILL LOYAL TOWN Op LEICESTER. I profess myself to be anxious for a rational Reform in the English Boroughs, but I am a de termined opponent of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage. If our Legislators concede to the People such an alteration in the present mode of Election in these Boroughs, they will not only confer on the Country a most substan fiat benefit, but will make themselves popular with ti►e great mass of the People—and then where ►+ill be the influence of the Whigs The adoption of this suggestion, and, making one uniform system in the election of Members for all places, ►will give to the Country Gentry, living near these Close Boroughs, that natural influence in them, which from .contiguity, property, and friendly intercourse, they ought to possess. — How mortifying must it be to them to see the :Steward of some wealthy person, living at an extreme distance from the place, which he has never seen, s•nd only knows by name, and who has purchased a majority of the houses in it, come into the town on the er•e of an Election, ►with thirty or forty dependents of his Master, who have been convected probably on that very day into voters for the Election—by which means tl►e tew outstanding independent resilient voter► are overpowered and prevented eleciing some respectable neighbouring Gentleman, to whom they are attached from the excellency of his cha racter, and the kindness he has shewn them—and after the farce of suet' an Election, for so it must be considered,--the Steward and his companions, having been disqualified by returning to their Master the qualification be had given them for the day—retire from the town until another ! •and neither Principal, Steward, Members, or occasional Voters, think any more of the place, until the same disgusting unconstitutional scene, is to be 'played over again ! ! A JOURNEYMAN WEAVER. We understand that a criminal information is to be moved for against Sir F. Bu DETT in the course of the prescht week,—(Morning Paper ) 'flee Provost, Magistrates. and Council of the Royal 13ti.gh of Cupar, Fifeshire, at a meet ing of the Council on Saturday last, unani mously voted a dutiful' and loyal Address to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, ou the pre -sent alarming state of the country. FATAL AC:GWEN:T.—On Thursday last Mr. Smith's hounds threw off at Burton Kennet, Lincoltish;te; being the day atter the Stuff hall, and ,uncommonly fine, there was a very large concourse of sportsmen, both horse and foot. A (head's{ accidrot befrl Mr. Bt-et ham, a young Gen tleman of Nettlehamorear Lincoln. On leaping over a low fence into a plantation, his horse's feet got entangled in some loose wood which lay on the other side, and fell down, by which . Mr. Beecham was pitched with great violence again:t the stomp .4 a tree, and shockingly brilised. He was con veyed to his own house, about a mile from where he accident happened, Without any hopes of his recovery, and is since dead. He was about 26 years of age,-aud uuiversally respected. POlt THE SUN. MR. EDltOß—There is no occasion for explain ing to you how I bottle by so many tongs ; it you give the enclust(l a place in your columns, you will Much oblige • EMPIRIC:US REDUt pray, don't you remember MARTIN BREt ? A wise and a handy Doctor was he : BRODlial, and LEAKE, and SOLO lON, by this Doctor's praCtiee were undone; For he drove to the Devil all ails and ills ) With a box of his famous Sanative Pills: tie gave his advice to all the town, And he sold his pills for half-a-crown; He gave his advice fur charity's sake; Which was—a dose of his pills to take. While to every patient he answer'd still, " 1 give my advice, but I sell my pill." Just at the corner of Arundel-street, MARTIN BREE you were sure to meet; With a post, and a lamp, and a private door ) Always at home from ten to four; IVith delicate treatment and secrecy— What a wealthy Doctor grew MAartN.BREE! For thus to his patients did MAnriN say— bly regular terms are—no cure nu pay; But MARTIN always made himself sore, On a better plan—no pay, nu cure: And, whether his patients were cured or no, The Doctor unpaid did never go. FLINT. Then he sold to a Rival his good will, In post and in gallipot, lamp and pill; And bought in Yorkshire a sung estate; And the Doctor turu'd to a Magistrate; While he changed to Minerva from Mercury— What a changeable Doctor was MAItTIN BnEe! But MARTIN was much too wise, to cork nis wonderful talents up in York. So to publish over the North his cunning, On the West-Riding his brains were running; - And says he, " Quite sick of the loyal pill I am, " Which pureed the country of Lord FITZWILLIAm." It obliged this vet y ill•tssed Physician, In a hurry to throw up his Commission And it keck'd against his stomach, till he STAPY LTD?: back into MARTIN BREE. Pray who can doubt a pill so stout, As to turn a Magistrate inside out ? And, when this wonderful State Quack To the Metropolis has come back, If Englaud of too much peace is sick, He'll cure her body-politic: While the Reformers boldly urge on MARTIN BREE to he the State-Surgeon. But how will Doctor WATSON bear A rival Doctor his fame to share ? Or endure with decent resolution His practices on the Constitution? Two of a trade can never agree: Doctor ‘ITArsoN and Dvaut Bact. , With MARTIN SO well the business suits, In knowing the natures and names of Roots; That to him the practice properly falls, • Of physiehing the Radicals•. And culling such simples might send Doctor Butt On an expedition to Botany. For nothing half such excellent ware is, As his famous " Pi!Wet Salutaris Except a decoction of Min!), applied Under the jugular of the left side; While the Patient takes the air before The portico of the Debtor's door. Then try it, we pray thee, Doctor dear, Gently rubb'cl at each Radical's ear ! And ; if thou can'st venture so near the shelf, Alakethe first experiment on thyself: And we'll give to thee a double fee, Oh DOCTOR MARTIN STAPYLTON BRE& DRURY-LAN E.—The Opera of Guy Mannering was represented again at this Theatre on Sault day, and strengthened by the re-appearance of BRAU AM its the part of Henry Bertram. His voice was in fine order, and he received the warm applause of a numerous audience.—BUTLEß, who has pre viously performed the part of Dundie Dinmont, as sumed it again on Saturday. He is' evidently a useful Actor. DASHING PICKPOCKFT.—Ou Saturday, n youth very fashionably dressed, culling himself-William Henry Cleik, apparently about 17 years of age, was examined before GEORGE FARRANT, Esq., the Sitting Magistrate, at the Public Office, Bow -street, for picking-pockets at Co vent Garden Theatre the night preceding. Mr. James Brandon, Box-keeper of Covent Garden Theatre, stated, that on Friday night having re. ceived information that a person of suspicious. character was in the stage-box, he ordered Donald son, the Constable attending the Theatre, to watch him. Witness went and looked through the glass of the stage-box-door, and saw the prisoner in the second row, when he pat his hand to the hack of a Gentleman's coat pocket who sat in the first row. The prisoner then changed his position, and removed to the third row, when he was perceived to have a small penknife in hiS hand. Witness ordered Donaldson to take him into custody, and went himself into the stage-box, and reqnest ed the Gentlemen in it to search their pockets ; Mr. Sanford, of the Albany, directly missed. his snuff-box. George Donaldson stated, that he was ordered by Mr. Brandon to watch the pri soner, who was in the stage-box ; and on the pri soner's .coming out, he laid hold of him. The pri soner struggled and tried to get away, and forced himself into a corner where he was secured. J. Townsend, another Constable, was present at the struggle, and heard something fall, which he picked up and then called out that he had foiltur a snuff-box, which Mr. Sanford identified as being the one he lost. Mr. Sanford corroborated the former testilnOny.—The risimer was cocumited to Nevrgete for trial. SHIP NEWS. DEAL, N0v14.--Sailed the whole of lbe home %yard- bound for the River. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 14.—Arrived yesterday the Caravan, Homiss, from Batavia, in six months; she sprung a leak the day after sailing, and has lost her bowsprit ; catwmer, fore-yard, rudder, two cables, &c. ; cargo damaged, and is now making" 20 niches of water an hour; she sailed to-day for Cowes. l'i,Tsiotrrn, Nov. 12.6 ,- -Arrived yesterday leis Majesty's ship Owen Glendower from the East— wait!, for the Bo&Is. • l'Estkrycg, Nov. 12.--=Arrived the Good In tent, Black, from Newtoundlaml.

WILLIAMS, agent) and Aurora transports, with the remainder of the regiment, may be dailyexpected : they were left at the Cape of Good I - lope. This regiment has been twewy years in India. The above transports sailed from the Mauritius on the 23th July, from the Cape 27th August, and from St. Helena on the 151 h September. They brought five Frenchmen, who were taken in a ship by 'the boats of his Majesty's skip Liverpool, and have been sent to England, by the Governor of the Mauritius, to be tried for a breach of the Slave Laws. The Liver pool was lett at the Mauritius; the Nautilus at the Cape ; and the Hyaena storeship, on the 21st of September, at Ascension, bound to England. Spoke the Indian and Ann whalers, October 6, outward-bound; and the Sei inga patam whaler, October 31, homeward-bound.— These ships do not bring any news from St. Helena. A party of officers, who came home., went up to Longwood, for the purpose of seeing BUONAPAIITE, but they could not obtain a glimpse of him.—The 22d Regiment landed from the transports on Saturday at Gosport, and marched fur Daventry, near Northampton. COUNTY OF EDINBURGH MEETING. A numerous Meeting of the Noblemen, Gentle men, Freeholders, Justices of the Peace, and Commissioners of Supply, was held in the County Hall on Wednesday, pursuant to requisition, to consider of the propriety of addressing the PRINCR REGENT on the present state of the country. Mr. WAUC HOPE, of Niddrie, stated the object of the meeting, after which the Marquess of Lo• titian, Lord Lieutenant of the County, was una nimously called to the chair. The Earl at MORTON ruse. He said, the meeta ing was not assembled to discuss a party question,' hut one of the highest importance ; it was no less than Whether we shall alloW the British Cowin'. Lion, for which our forefathers shed their blood. to be trampled on and insulted, to be torn asunder by unprincipled and designing men, while we shall stand tamely by and witness its di , member• Went. His Lordship concluded by moving a Re solution expressive of the sense of the Meeting on the present state of the Country. Sit:JOHN HOPE seconded the motion, and pro• posed that the Resolution be unanimously adopted. Mr. J. MURRAY conceived that the proper mode would be to read the Address before passing the Resolution, otherwise the Meeting would be agreeing -to the Address before they bad ever heard it. The Earl of ROSEBERY concurred in this opi- Ilifili. The Address was then read by the Earl of Mott. TON, together with the Resolution, when they were unanimously agreed to. Mr. JEFFREY then rose, and after a long speech, containing much irrelevant matter, at least such as was calculated to disturb the harmony of the Meeting, proposed an amendment, of the same tendency, which induced other persons to take a part in the discussion, pro and con. • At length the question was put, Amend ment or Not, when it carried Not by - a large ma jority ; out of about 100 members who were pre. sent, only IS voted for the amendment. - The Address was then unanimously adopted. OP the motion of Sir GEORGE CLERK the thanks of the meeting were voted to the NOble Chairman, after which the meeting broke up. We should be sorry, considering the importance of the County of Edinburgh, in the scale of the Empire, to give so brief an account of the Meet- ing, if the subj , ct had not been too often dis cussed in other place, to afford any interesting novelty. Three Hamburgh Mails arrived last night. Two persons, charged as principals in the insurrection of the peasantry in Nor,vay, in 1818, have hc:en arrested, and carried in irons to Chriviani. for trial. Lord CATHCART, the British Ambassador to the Court of St. Petershurgh, being recalled, has taken his departure Yrith his family from that capital.
