EINE BaOTHERS, Contractors, for the Great Lottery, published and drawn by authority and under guar;lntee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on the 18th of March next ; and Tickets are now selling at 108 mark, banco, or 81. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 108 marks, which 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated ;n marks banco, and payable without any deduction whatever; 4,000 ticketsbeing delivered gratis to the holders oof the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme; those purchasing .one ticket, at the trifling cost of 81., may obtain three prizes : and thus, if fortune prove favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the gratis tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, so that, of course, they will be cleared off very ra pidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to pur chase at the present first price of Si., are requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above named contractors, Heine, BrotherA, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 10/. note will receive an order for the balance of 2/., together with the ticket, by return of reail ; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable information, being always sent with the tickets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket er tickets, adding the raeney, or an order for the same, or stating the mode of payment t'eat may be more convenient to the orderer, and giving their full - ,,nd plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communicr.tions. Those hor.ouring Heine, Brothers, by purchasing, may depend on the stri , ,,te s t secresy, as to their taking a chance or getting a prize; seat being the undeviating rule of the old-established and most lucky Office.

After which, THE REVOLT OF THE HAREM. ) r hffi UAL LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1834. The new official organ of Government says this morning, " 'W lose no time in stating, what we be lieve to be true, that a dissolution will take place in a very few days, most probably, before the end of next - week." Fore-warned is fore-armed ; and as we have already, in common with our liberal contemporaries, warned our countrymen that a dissolution would be the inevitable result of the appointment of a Tory Cabinet, we doubt not they are fully prepared for it. They must bear in mind, however, that every hour now has its value ; and that one day only spent in inactivity, is a day, perhaps a year, for ever lost to the cause of Re form. But above all things, the electors must act in harmony. There must be no hanging back—no pue rile quarrellings—n o stickling for this or that hobby ; all minor differences must be merged in the one great, paramount question of Reform. With 'anion the electors are irresistible. Without it, they have neither moral nor physical power. The svan e journal that announces the impending dissolution, favours it s readers'alw with I.‘ - .Air. Address to the people of Eng land," in which; speaking of Sir R. P'EEL'S Manifesto, the Writer observes, "in Europe, is America, and in ~the „regions.. of the East, wher(l..our sway extends, it will be'perused with thew sane intense interest as at home ; and not only over space, but over time like 'wise will it triumph, or be co-extensive with it I" Won derful I How astonished must the Right Hon. Bart. be to discover that he has given birth to a production, which will triumph over time, and be co-extensive with eternity I The patriotic paroxysms of this writer, in their way, are equally original. He falls into a fit every third sentence. None but the " base, the tu multuous, the sanguinary," he says, can find fault with a single line of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S all perfect Manifesto, which, he solemnly assures us, " is winging its way, by moles of conveyance, in which all the other kingdoms of Europe infinitely lag behind us for stuffiness." How fortunate for Sir ROBER T PEEL, that he lives in the days of steam and rail roads ! When Tom Thumb published his immortal Manifesto, as duly recorded by FIELDING, he was far less lucky. When we alluded, the other day, to the remark that " language was given to man to conceal his thoughts," we did not expect so speedy, and at the same time so happy, an illustration of it, as has since been furnished by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S " Address," No " King's Speech" ever abounded more in vague generalities, in unmeaning verbosity, in " passages that lead to no thing." We have a cart-load of chaff; but we defy the keenest scrutiny to detect a single grain of wheat. From beginning to end of this pre cious document, there is hardly one idea definitely expressed. All is cloaked, wrapped up, shrouded is the most elaborate ambiguity. Instead of that ex plicit declaration of the course of policy intended to be pursued by the new administration, which the pub lic were anxiously looking for, and had some little right to expect, they find at last a multitude of words so artfully arranged, that they convey no distinct im pression, but are capable of supporting, equally well, the most opposite conclusions. In perusing it, we sometimes think we are coming to a tangible point— we seem to perceive a glimmering of light, but we are soon undeceived; no light appears,. but rather " dark-. ness visible." Of professions of frankness there is enough, and more than enough ; but for the frankness itself we look in vain. On the contrary, we never re collect seeing a state paper of so jesuitical a complexion. Sir ROBERT will find that the people of England are not to be deceived by his speciousness. They wanted to know whether he was to carry on the Government on Re form or Anti-Reform principles. He does not tell them, but attempts to " palter in a double sense." His object is evident : it is to influence the elections. A disso lution is to take place in a day or two—a measure which we have always known and stated to have been contemplated by the " Duke :" and Sir ROBERT thinks that as a good prologue predisposes the audience in favour of the new piece, his address may gain some sweet voic,','s in the polling booths. He will, we ap- Pre,lrencl, find himself in the wrong box. No Reformer will trust him. He has woven his web like " a cunning workman:" but the texture, like that of some other webs, is too fine to catch any but the smallest flies. The Paris Papers of Wednesday, which we have received this morning, are filled with reports of the trial of M. ROUEN, the responsible Editor of the National, for a libel on the Chamber of Peers. It will be remembered by our readers that we before took notice of the citation of M. ROUEN before the Chamber on Friday last, and of his obtaining permission to be as sisted by M. ARMAND CARREL in defending himself at the bar four days subsequently. The trial came on at an early hour on Tuesday, and such was the anxiety to witness the proceedings, that long before the PRE SIDENT had taken his seat, every avenue leading to the Chamber was choked up with claimants for admis sion. Several foreigners of high rank were present ; among others, Lord BROUGIIAAI and the Duke of ARGYLE. After some preliminary business had been gone through, the President (Baron PASQULER) corn - manded the officers of the Chamber to admit M. ROUEN and his Counsel. The libellous article was then put in and read ; and as it must be interesting to the British public to learn the exact cause of such com motion in the capital of Republican France, we give the article at length. Here it is : " A fine chapter might be written upon the reasons in support of the theory of the incompetence of the Chamber of Peers. These reasons would be specially based upon the presumed resent ment which a Chamber that had been treated as a culpable body by the revolution of July, must entertain against the opi nion to which the April prisoners —who are all men of July_ belong. A Chamber, which the revolution la:ts despoiled c its hereditary privileges, deprived of its most important prerogatives; which has been summoned by the revo lution before the bar of democracy ; and been dis missed, half-convicted, of having been an accomplice of the Restoration. A Chamber, which the revolution causes still to tremble, daily, by demanding vengeance for Marshal Ney, who was judicially assassinated by its emigrants, its men of Ghent, and its renegadoes of the revolution—the parvenus of the civil and military orders. " No; in the eyes of eternal justice—in the eyes of poste rity—by the testimony of their own consciences, the old sena tors of Buonaparte, his corrupt marshals ; the Procurcurs- Genereaux, and the created nobility of the restoration; the three or four generations of Ministers who succumbed under the public hatred and contempt, and who are covered with our blood : the whole furbished up with some notabilites, scattered here and there by the royalty of the ith of August, on condi tion that they should never speak but in approval of Govern ment ; • all this mass of servilities, of so many different origins, is not competent to pronounce upon the culpability of men who are accused of having wished to force forward the conse quences of the revolution of July." Immediately after the reading of the article, M. CARREL rose and addressed the Chamber in one of the ablest and boldest speeches we ever remember to have read. We do not believe that the records of ancient or modern eloquence, contain anything at all equal to his exordium. Compare the circumstances of the cases, and the celebrated exordiums of Cicero in his orations against Cataline are tame when contrasted with the proud contempt, the bitter scorn of M. CARREL for the authority claimed by the Judges of his client. We are sorry that we cannot afford space for the whole of this admirable speech. It commences thus : "M. Carrel—l wish to say a few words. The President may forbid me to develop what has just escaped me very ex cusably ; but he cannot forbid me to speak on M. Rouen's be half; that gentleman ought not to suffer for what I have said. I hope the President will allow me to continue at least my written defence of M. Rouen. It does not contain any further allusion to the event which I thought it my duty to characterize, since it fell, as it were, under my pen. " Several Peers—Continue, continue ! " The President (with impatience) —You may proceed." After a good deal of subsequent interruption, M. CARREL concluded his luminous address. M. ROUEN was then called upon to know if he wished to say any thing, but declined, alleging that after the treatment which his learned friend had received, he would not expose himself to insult, though previously prepared to speak. There was a long discussion in the Chain- ber with regard to the sentence, when it was resolvel that M. ROUEN should be incarcerated for two years, and pay a Ene of 10,000 francs Thus terminated the trial of M. ROUEN. The Peers have triumphed ; but the act by which they oh- tamed it was certainly a suicidal one. This state of things cannot go on much longer. The intoxication of power is the deadliest of all pestilences among the members of a Government ; and from all that is now taking place in France, a child might prophecy the fate of the Orleans dynasty. It seems evident that THE CHURCH is to be mane the great stalking-horse behind which Tory aspiration s may be best concealed. To address the piety of the people—to alarm their religious appprehensions—to denounce the infamy of back-sliding—and to paint the disgrace, present and eternal, in forsaking their GOD and insulting his appointed ministers, will, therefore, be the prime agents to be used for effectuating the ambitious hopes of the infatuated Tories. The blending of earthly politics with the name of the DEITY is, of all blasphemies, the most disgusting— You must be astonished, Messieurs les Pairs, to find yourselves our judges. Most certainly we are so ; and we ash by what strange overthrow of principle, or by what series of changes we have become subject to your jurisdiction. Four years have ssarcely elapsed since this very assembly, Wore which I stand, was itself called to stand at the bar of the country." Such are the opening sentences. Well might the Chamber show symptoms of surprise and alarm at being so addressed. The orator continued— " The aristocratic Peerage, the instrument and accomplice of the restoration, shared naturally the defeat suffered by the counter-revolution in three days. At that. epoch, the journal now inculpated called France to arms against the Bourbons, raised Paris in insurrection, proposed a new King, and de n-) anted the expulsion from the Chamber of all the Peers created by Charles X. Then the provocations of the National were not crimes; they were laws, written under the dictation of a victorious revolution. lam not foolish enough to wish to see that state of things perpetuated, in which a country is governed by its journals. But I consider that the crisis had proceeded, not from the want of docility of the people, but from incorrigibility in the Government. Unfortunately, it is this incorrigibility that is perpetual. Sonic months have passed since the great catastrophe ; and already events are rapidly taking their course toward, a similar catastrophe, though inevitably a more sanguinary one. The old partisans of liberty quit their principles, disgusted with the little fruit they have borne. They rally from self-interest to the new power of the day, whilst the more timid shrink back into the crowd, determined to put up with the abuses which they rebelled against before. On its side the new Government enters com pletely into the track of the old. And the true, the constant friends of liberty, are left to ask, has all this blood been spilt— this heroism been spilt in vain ? Have they been lost for the the cause of civilization and for the country ? Such is the doubt, Messrs. les Pairs, that brings us to this bar 1" This is, indeed, the language of a patriot. Government have need to watch well the particulars o the warning here given them by M. CARREL : " Already events are rapidly taking their course to. wards a similar catastrophe (the Revolution of July), though inevitably a snore sanguinary one I" This very trial, and the sentence consequent upon it, will accelerate that catastrophe, more than anything that happened in France since the accession of Lours a blasphemy not the less sinful because committed by fools at the instigation of the daring. Are man's cor ruptions to be supported by an appeal to Heaven, and its anger threateningly held forth by the shallow o r the impious, in order to accomplish their own proud purposes ? To every really religious mind this revolt- ig mockery must be abominable. Shame to its abet tors !---for thus is true religion brought into contempt, and in the end subverted. Undisputed domination, secular or clerical, is sure, sooner or later, to merge into despotism : when the yoke becomes too galling, men enquire—and then comes truth. In political tyranny the people soon comprehend the worst—the abridgment of liberty, and the imposition of some unpleasant burthens ; these constitute a lanauaffe that the wisest and the b dullest can equally well interpret ; and, if in perilling resistance they stumble, .why they know and are con ' tent to abide the consequences, quietly awaiting a more auspicious season for renewing the attack. But in ecclesiastical tyranny, the penal consequences are not quite so clear to the multitude ; doubt and superstition bring a terror more mysterious, less accurately defined, than ally they could image forth in the other case. In all communities of men there exists a large measure of ignorance, prejudice, timidity, and fear ; and it is to the passions of persons so influenced that the suppor ters of clerical despotism address themselves, in endea vouring to maintain its sway unimpaired. It is only when a nation arrives at a certain point of intelligence, that the errors and corruptions of Church Government arc sought to be corrected by those who have the cause of pure religion most closely at heart : they then begin to see that its true interests do not ne- The PHILIPPE, except the rejection of the amnesty. "VI. CARREL then proceeded to denounce the conduct of the Chamber, in removing the trial of his client out of the jurisdiction of the ordinary tribunals. He showed that such unconstitutional proceedings hadled to the first Revolution —that a repetition of them paved the way for a similar catastrophe—and in a strain of searing, self accusing bitterness, pointed out the fruits which France now enjoyed, after saturating her soil with the blood of tyrants. Speaking of the Revolution of 1830, M. CARREL said-- cessarily need the meddlings in secular matters of a priesthood whose offices would seem to be solely and essentially of a spiritual character: that those interests arc not best served by upholding the pomps and vani ties of earthly power and personal aggrandisement, which all good men are schooled to eschew. The weakest minded and the humblest will sometimes ponder upon that enormous difficulty, why the Minis ters of a religion, which interdicts these lusting:; of the flesh—earthly power and earthly glory—should them selves so eagerly covet them ? With an exhortation to humility of heart ringing in their ears, they cannot con ceive why my Lord Bishop should keep a carriage, and serving men in purple and fine linen ; they never - heard that any of the Apostles, not even St. Paul himself, kept a lacquey ; they think it strange, and it is strange. it seems to their unsophisticated minds something eery much like an act of self-falsffict:tion. " We knew how to re-conquer lost liberty, but not how to gunrantee ourselves from losing . it again a f ter i t was found. And lo ! the fruits of our simplicity and ignorance. Of all our conquests in July there remains --what? A mere emblem, the tri-colour flag—an empty word, the sov ere i gnty of the na tion ; but with these there still survives the immortal example, telling us never to despair of a great and sacred cause." * • • * a * a* • " Thus we have lived to see the capital in a state of siege, writers handed over for judgment to sergeants of infantry, in dividual liberty at the mercy of the meanest agent, t h e sacred ness of Fre nc h men ' s h ome v i o l ate d universally, nay, even stained with blood; the stolen secrets of private correspond ence made the basis of public prosecution, the simpl, fa.et of When we begin to discover that wickedness is not THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1834. citizens associating together transformed into the crime of treason : ourselves, we have been deprived of liberty and for tune for seeking to preserve the existence of that Jo urna l which m a d e th e first public appeal in favour of the dynasty of Orleans (for my part in which I crave pardon of freedom and of my country !") After this burst of feeling; which created a murmur and a buzz in every part of the chamber, M. CARREL proceeded to justify the article, by comparing it with others which appeared in the same journal in 1830, written by M. THIERS, the present Minister of the Interior, and M. MIGNET, now a member of the Council of State. In the articles written by these gentlemen, the Peers were designated " Poltroons ;" the Peerage was said to be gone ; and the people were called upon to bid them— " March—begone !" with an assurance that they would be obeyed. The Ch am b er ev i nce d th e greatest uneasiness during the reading of these articles. It was not, however, till the name of Marshal NEY was men. tioned, that the Chamber broke out into a scene oi i►►describable confusion. M. CARREL baying said, in reference to the execution of Marshal NEY, " at the present period the Judge has more need of being reinstated in public opinion than the victim." The following scene took place The President here rose and said—Defender You are speaking before the Chamber of Peers. There arc in this as sembly some of the Judges of Marshal Ney. To say that those judges have more need of being reinstated than the vic tim, is, I warn you, an expression which might be considered as an offence. I beg to remind you, that the article of the law which I have had the honour to read to you, is as appli cable to your words as to the article which M. Rouen is called upon to answer for. " General Excelmans (a Peer)--I demand to be allowed to speak. "The President—l cannot comply with that demand. " M. Carrel (with a gesture and accent which it is impos sible to describe)—lf among the members who voted for the death of Marshal Nev, and who sit in this assembly, there be one who feels himself hurt by my expressions, let him make a proposition against me—let him summon me to this bar : I should glory in being the first man of the geuerati"n of 1830 who came here to pretest, i n th e name of indignant France, against that abominable assassination.—(Movement in the Chamber. In the tribunes—" Bravo, bravo !" General en thusiasm among the spectators. Stupefaction in the assembly.) The President (raising his voice so as to be heard in the midst of the applauses)—Defender 1 I withdraw your privilege of addressing the Assembly. " General Excelmans here rese, and carried away, as it were, by the force of a deep conviction, cried,—" I join in opinion with the defender. Yes, the condemnation of Marshal Ney was a judicial assassination ; I say it. I—" (In the tri bunes—" Bravo, bravo I" It is impossible to describe the agi tation among the Peers. The applauses continued in the tri.. banes.) "M. de Tascher (in an agitated voice)—l demand that the public tribunes be evacuated. " Several Members—No, no ! " The President to M. Rouen—M. Rouen, is your defence completed ?—( In the Tribunes--" No, no 1") "M. Rouen—My defence is not completed. I demand that it may be continued by M. Carrel. " The President—lt cannot be continued by M. Carrel, who has placed himself in such a position that I cannot allow him to speak. _ . _ the less corrupt, for being perpetrated by men clothed in peat names and sounding titles, nor made less detestable by reason of precedent or the antiquity of practice, it is hard to understand upon what grounds there should be an immunity for corruption, because countenanced by holy and devout men. Is corruption sanctified by age ? Then let but our gin palaces have tini to endure, and lo I age shall consecrate their corruptions. It cannot be that the " Church Establish - ment," by having been associated with the religious services of a nation, for a long period of time, should therefore and necessarily be essential to the cause of christianity ; or that because of its name, no abuses and corruptions can have defiled the " Establishment." Surely not. The church of GOD is in the hearts of his people—not in the pride of prelacy, its misapplied revenues, or its earthly ostentation. We will yield to none in reverence to the Christian Church ; we heartily desire to extend its blessings to all mankind. But it is against the glaring abuses which beset, the corruptions which have polluted the " Establishment," that we exclaim ; and every true friend of the church will join us in the work of expurgat►on. The cunning Tories, in the ap proaching struggle, will appeal to the people's religious prejudices and apprehensions ; they will depict the awful consequences - of the " down fall of the Church, and our venerable institutions ;" and denounce in good set phrase, the rabble plunderers who seek to encompass their ruin. Alarmists and waverers may be caught by the sophistry ; but all who really love the Church, and sincerely desire to main tain its purity unimpaired, by the corruptions " that may have crept into" the Establishment, will disdain the hollow mouthings of those deceivers who, in igno rance, bigotry, or ambition, would disturb their righ teous resolutions to reform Church abuses. [The following article was written yesterday, but unavoidably left over, from want of space.] Whether the present Parliament shall be cashiered or not, there cannot be a doubt that an immediate dissolution would be declared, if the Tory Government thought any thing could be got by it worth the having. To argue seriously the question of the present Minis ters' ability to manage the affairs of the kingdom with such a House of Commons as now exists, would be a very ill compliment to the understanding of our readers. The Duke might as well try to turn the course of the moon by firing pop-guns at her. Perhaps it may be determined that the present House " shall have an opportunity of declaring its sentiments with regard to the change of Ministers." This will certainly have the effect of protracting the existence of the Government, but surely the Govern ment has already formed a shrewd suspicion of the result of such an opportunity. If nothing else is to be gained by it, the Tories, to be sure, will be allowed a little further time for manoeuvring, and they are un rivalled in electioneering skill. That a dissolution will take place it would be folly to doubt, whilst the present Administration continue in office : it may be now, or it may be a few weeks hence, but to that pass it must come at last. It will therefore be necessary for the electors to continue on the alert. They should prepare themselves with a few wholesome questions to put to the candidates for their suffrages, and such az will admit of a clear and intelligible answers —avoiding generalities for a season, and confining themselves to particulars : this will be very useful. It will be well to bear in mind that the represen tatives whom they may select, will have a seven years' existence, unless by accident, or their own desire, that period shall be lessened ; if, therefore, they have any thing to desire upon this subject they had better speak out. In the present state of things the electors and their representatives may suppose that the movements of the Duke and his party are chiefly to be the objects of their watchfulness. This will be an error which must be guarded against. There are other points of far greater importance, and they must be strictly at tended to. Great care, also, must be taken by the electors, so to instruct their representatives, as to the nature of their wants And wishes, that no mistake may occur for some time to come. It is possible that another change of Ministry may seem judicious ere long ; it will be well, therefore, that no unnecessary trouble be occa sioned to the King in the unpleasant exercise of any of his prerogatives. By making manifest their real sentiments in distinct and unequivocal language, use less pain will be spared to his MAJESTY'S feelings, and the internal quiet of the country be undisturbed by needless dissolutions of the Parliament. This will be both loyal and courteous to the one, and particularly desirable to the other. Another point and we have done for to-day. Many honourable candidates will wince at the word " pledge," should it happen to meet their car : so indignant are they at the idea of being considered shackled " dele gates." In any cases of this kind that may occur, we caution the electors to pay marked attention to the " ifs" and " buts" with which their harangues or their promises may abound ; they are dangerous little words, and mean a great deal more than is generally sup posed. The measures-not-men lovers employ the if and the but with singular felicity ; it will be discreet to remember this fact when the proper time shall arrive. We have received intelligence from Madrid through the medium of the French Papers, bearing date the oth inst. They refer chiefly to the report of the committee on the civil list ; but contain nothing of any interest to an English reader. BASSETLAW.—G. H. Vernon, Esq., the present Member, has been taking a personal canvass, and the Tory party have got up a requisition to the Hon. Capt. Dun combe.—Halifax Express. The canvass of the three candidates for the re presentation of this borough, has been continued during the past week; and that of the liberal party, ALssrs. Wood and Protheroe, has been brought to a most favourable conclusion. These gentlemen addressed a large meeting of the electors, yesterday evening, in the Old Assembly Room, and were rec e i ve d i n the most flattcring man ner. We cannot, at so late an hour, attempt eny report of their speeches, but they will be distributed amongst the electors in the course of the day.—Halifax Express. THREATENING LETTERS.—The inhabitants of New Cross and Deptford have been thrown into a state of considerable excitement and alarm in consequence of several respectable tradesmen there having received threatening letters of an incendiary nature. One letter was addressed to Mr. Burgess, baker, of New Cross, apparently in a disguised hand, threatening to burn his house and himself in it. This threat, coupled with the late occurrences at Rotherhithe, has induced many of the inhabitants to remove their beds and furniture from the upper to the lower part of the house, and the circum stance is the general topic of conversation in the neighbour hood. We give the following anecdote from a private source of undoubted authority, in proof that our excellent Queen (the bright exemplar of all the domestic virtues) is no dabbler in politics, as the base Radical press have maliciously asserted. Her Majesty, a few days ago, remarked to one of her ladies in attendance, that if a thunderbolt had fallen at her feet she could not have been more astonished than she was when the King announced to her a change of Ministers. His Majesty said that ha hoped she would be well enough to _come down to dine with them, as the Duke of Wellington would be of the party that day. " The Duke of Wellington !" answered the Queen with surprise. " Yes," replied his Majesty, " I have changed my Ministers."—salopian Journal. PARISH OF LAMBETH. ST. MARY. MEETING THIS DAY. A very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the above parish was held this morning at 10 o'clock, in consequence of a requisition which was numerously signed. Neither of the Churchwardens (four), though they called the Meeting, at tended. Mr. Hawes, one of the Members for the Borough, was present. A discussion ensued relative to the general meeting of the borough, called for that evening, and Mr. Roffey suggested that it would be better to adjourn that meeting, and amal gate it with that intended to be held in the evening. That proposition was opposed, and eventually Mr. O'Grady moved that, in the absence of any of the churchwardens, Mr. Martin should take the chair. The motion was seconded and carried. Mr. MARTIN having taken the chair, Mr. G. FoLL, after eulogizing the political conduct of Mr. Hawes, proposed a vote of thanks to that gentleman for his attendance upon that occosion. The motion was put and carried unanimously. Mr. HAWES said he was bound to offer his sincere thanks for the high honour which the meeting had done him. He thought he had a little reason to complain of the manner in which notice of that meeting had been given to him. He received one of the larg e pl acar d s i nc l ose d in a blank sheet of paper, so that he had no opportunity of knowing whether his presence was required or not. Had his Hon. Colleagn: been served in the same manner, his absence might he easily ac counted for, because to his (Mr. H.'s) knowledge the Hon. Gentleman had been out of town.—( Cheers.) He was in clined to think that as an ag g regate meeting was to bo held a t the Horns that evening, and as it was most likely that the greater number of those then present would attend at it, he really was of opinion that it would be better to take the ad vice of Roffey and Mr. Nicholson, and adjourn that meeting without proceeding with any business, which would only have a tendency to weaken the cause they had so much at heart ; he could see no distinction between the two meetings : it had been said that that one was to consider the conduct of his Majesty in the dismissal of the late Minis try—as he understood the object of the other meeting, which was to be held in the evening, was the same and then they would have that further advantage of considering the conduct of their representatives.—(Mr. Tennyson here entered the room, and was received with great cheering.) Mr. HAWES again stated the reasons which induced him to think that it would be more conducive to the end they all had in view, to adjourn the meeting, till the evening. He again returned thanks, and sat down amidst much cheering. Mr. FoLL, after animadverting upon the insulting conduct of the churchwardens to the two members, said, as Mr. Ten nyson had come into the room, it would be but right for the meeting to pay him the same compliment that they had rendered to his honourable colleague. The constituents of both honourable members had great reason to be satisfied with their conduct since the election ; and he trusted that the Reformers of the Borough would form a strong and irre sistible union, so that the two honourable gentlemen might be triumphantly returned, and Lord Farebrother (the late Lord Mayor, candidate for the Borough) might be left in a miser able minority. He then proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Tennyson, which was seconded and carried unanimously. Mr. TENNYSON rose and returned thanks. He owed an apology to the meeting for his late attendance, but be had understood that the meeting was called as usual at 10 for 11 o'clock. He was not very punctilious ; and though he had re ceived notice of the meeting in the same manner as his hon. colleague, yet he considered it at once his duty to attend. He would always do so whenever called upon by any of his con stituents, whatever their politics might be.---( Hear, hear.) The consequence of his non-attendance earlier was, that he was unable to give any opinion about the adjournment of the meet ing; he came there to hear their sentiments and to be instructed in the line he should pursue in the conflict that had been com menced. He would not presume to offer any opinion, but hating been at a convivial meeting last n i g ht, w h ere h e staye d late—( Laughter)—and spoke at a considerable length, and as he would most likely have to do so again that evening, he doubted whether his powers of endurance were enough to allow him to do so there—however, it must be as they pleased. His arrangements were all completed, and he was now en tirely ready for the approach of the conflict—he was quite ready for action, and so, no doubt, was his Hon. Colleague, which they would commence as soon as Sir Robert Peel gave the order. The speech was received throughout with much cheering, and the Han. Gentleman sat down amidst consider able applause. Mr. ROFFEY rose for the purpose of moving an ad journment of the meeting till the evening. He trusted his motives would not be misunderstood, for he did so with a desire to forward the good cause. He would join heart and hand with those present in order to secure the return of the two honourable gentlemen. He made the motion, which having been seconded amidst considerable confusion— . Mr. O'GRADY rose to move an amendment. He would ask the gentleman who had moved the adjournment what right that meeting had to intrude themselves upon the one called for that evening at the Horne. He was glad to hear that gentleman declare himself to be a liberal, for he had always found him acting upon good Tory principles—he was not so good as the worthy candidate Farebrother, for he al ways called himself a thorough Tory, and acted accordingly. Mr. Roffey, on the other hand, professed to be a liberal, but his actions were as thorough Tory as those of Mr. Farebrother. He did not see why because another set of requisitionists had called a meeting quite distinct from the parish of Lambeth, that the inhabitants of that parish had not a perfect right to pass resolutions in which their sentiments were embodied. He moved as an amendment a resolution to the effect that, " The interests of the people of the united kingdom were diametri cally opposed to the interests of the two factions, Whig and Tory—that-the object of those factions while in authority was to usurp the political power of the State for their own pur poses, and that whatever might be the result of the recent changes in the Government, they had been brought about by a power (the Oligarchy) designedly left by the Whigs for the coercion of the people. After a violent tirade against both parties he concluded by moving his resolution, which having been seconded-- Mr. ROFFEY rose to rebut the charges which had been brought against him by a mushroom orator--a renegade Irish man. He (Mr. Roffey) had been a Reformer before the last speaker was born ; it would be proved whether he was a Tory or not when the meeting knew how he had voted in different places. At the last election in Middlesex he voted for Hume and Byng. In East Surrey for Briscoe and Beauclerc, and in that borough for Hawes and Moore ; be would now support most cordially Messrs. Tennyson and Hawes. After a few words from Mr. FoLL the resolution was put and carried. Mr. COURTENAY proposed a resolution deprecating the conduct of the King in dismissing the late Administration. He considered the Duke of Wellington the most unfit man in existence to rule the destinies of the country.--( Cheers.) Mr. Fol.!. seconded the resolution. Upon putting the resolution to the meeting, Mr. TENNYSON rose. Observations had been made both by the mover and seconder of the resolution, which, he very much regretted. He was sure that no man, who had the least wish to be called an Englishman, could concur in the observations that had been made, he concurred as much as any man could do in the essence of the resolution which had been prepared; but he was sure that the gentleman who had made the obser vations he adverted to had made them without thinking of their purport; no one could doubt the right of the people to address the Crown upon any change in the Administration ; but he thought it was too much to say to the Sovereign, that in the course he had adopted, he had not con sulted the interests of his people. He thought it desirable when the people were about to send representatives to Parlia ment in whom they could place confidence, that the opinion of those representatives should be fully and perfectly known. He could not but express regret that the resolution had not been more judiciously worded. The King had exercised one of his most undoubted prerogatives, besieged and tortured as he had been on all sides. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel have now been called on to exercise the duties of the State. He called upon the meeting to reflect, be fore they gave their sanction to the appointment of such men —men who had shown themselves adverse to everything that was for the good of their country. The King, by calling these men into office, had done so, not because he admired persons who entertain Tory opinions, but for the purpose of appealing to a reformed constituency. He trusted that the people would not sleep at their posts, and that Sir Robert Peel, when he came into the House of Commons the next Session, would find that he had taken that upon himself which he never could ac complish. He apprehended that the very first vote in that House would have the effect of removing the Right Hon. Gentleman and his colleagues from office.—( Great cheering.) No confidence could be placed in such an Administration.—( Cheers.) What was the declaration of Sir Robert Peel? Why, that be was determined not to stir one jot from the dogmas and the principles that he had adopted during the whole course of his political life. Such were his (Mr. T.'s) opinions, and entertaining them he could not concur in the observations that had been made by the mover and seconder of the resolutions. He had great respect for many of the present advisers of the Crown ; but he considered the opinions that had been promul gated through their head, were so indefinite and uncertain, as to be totally unworthy of credit.—(Cheering.) Mr. HAWES could not assent to the observations that had been made in proposing the resolutions ; he entreated the meeting, in discussing the questions that had been proposed to them, that their objects would be much better attained by lan guage suitable to the occasion, than by any thing attended with violent expressions. Could any man for one moment sup pose that the whole management of the country could be placed for any lengthened period in the hands in which it was at present entrusted?—( Cheers, and cries of " No : not for ten days 1") Certainly not. He would venture to say farther, that if the people only acted as it became them, they would have everything they could desire. He wished that part of the resolution respecting the not granting of the supplies to be modified, as he could not concur in the sentiments it expressed literally.—( Cheers. ) After some observations from Mr. COURTENAY, the resolu tion was modified in that respect, and carried unanimously. Mr. HAWES contended that the address was something more than a mere echo of the resolution, and in his opinion it went a little too far. It stated "that this meeting would repudiate men of either faction." Th at was to say, that all the public men who had supported and advocated Reform—( Loud cheers)—that they were to condemn all the Ministers and others by whose exertions the Reform Bill had been carried. Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Hawes) could not consistently do so—he could not say that Lord Grey, Lord Althorp, Lord John Russell, and all those who had ever been on the liberal side in politics should be repudiated.—( Cheers.) He for one (and he begged to be understood as expressing merely his in- di% idual opinion) could not concur in castiq w h a t he ceived to be unmerit e d censure on th ese me n.—(Che e lj ). The objectionabl e p assage i n th e a dd res s was than to meet the views of M r . H awes , a ft er w hich it was P I the chair , and carried immediat e ly. hicll, l/ Mr. PARKER said he had a resoluti o n to propose, "." a ftY was satisfied, would meet with the cordial approbati on , meeting. It was as follows :—" Th a t this meeting P i o itself t o se t as id e a ll su b or di nate diff erences amon g th e 4 o cates of lib era l op i n i ons , f or t h e purpose o f secur i n g the ; e l of two representatives whose political conduct ax d principles a ff or d an assurance that they will firmly resist s ? attempts now a b out to b e made by a corrupt faction to P t e xtol the ameliorati on o f our public institutions and the f of our civil and re li g i ous lib ert i es.
