The d a ------- -- _____ : 8 3 yto w h ich Parliament will be prorogued ' we believe, not yet determined on ; but in the pre, s ent state of the country, it would be very I 'in 14,0.1itie for several reasons to delay the re-assembling h°' Parliament beyond the firit of December. We °W froru our the Iu o wn per sonal observation in most Of "ssi ll urge nlanUflletUrin g th e g towns that th e d e l ay in Reform fill is productive of ve:y general nit° • nvenience, and that a prorogation of more than a raonth or five e reiul specul weeks would greatly paralyze corn beget public confidence, and &Istricts• eget u nspeakabl e misery in Such was the man u f actur i ng 4 the excitement last week, in consequence of the rejection of - the Reform Bill, that people suspended their orders unless in cases of absolute necessity. Fur these urgent considera• Lions, we strongly press Ministers not to prorogue Parliament beyond the beginning of December, if so long. It would be easy to support this view of thesub ject, by particular as well as general reasons; but the fact is so self-evident, that we refrain for the present, under the conviction that Ministers will do, as they have hitherto done—their utmost to secure the con fidenceof the country, which is at present unbounded, in their patriotism, ability, and honest intentions. The Reform Bill once passed, England will be her self again !—but never till then. As the day of proroguing Parliament mainly de pends on passing the Bankruptcy Court Bill, we earnestly recommend to Ministers not to tolerate a continuance of the harefaced opposition lately dis played by the factious jugglers for delay. Their object is wholly to defeat the Bill, and nothing but persevering firmness can carry the measure through. The great point of interest with the country now is—by what means is the triumph of the Reform Bill next Session to be secured ? Is the Govern ment determined to create a sufficiency of Peers pro hoc vice, or can it rely upon the invigorated force of public opinion, as strong enough to drive the Bill through the House of Incurables ? The country is naturally full of anxiety to know the line of policy that is to be adopted. In the event of manifest necessity, the Govern ment would betray the trust reposed in it by the nation, if it permitted any scruples on the score of the degradation of the Peerage, to prevent the crea tion of as many new Legislators as will carry the point. It is no doubt an evil to add to the House of Lords, whose members are already inconveniently numerous, and exceed the due proportion (usually considered to be one-half) which a second ought to bear to a first chamber. There is, besides, a very natural reluctance in a Reforming Government to do any thing that may seem to desecrate or dishonour one House of Parliament, for the sake of the purifi• cation of the other. But if it comes to a choice of evils, there can be no comparison between any such inconveniences as those we have alluded to, and the dreadful mischief that would ensue upon a second rejection of the Bill. We wilt not dwell upon the effects of such a calamity, because it is perfectly ob • vious that it would bring to an end the government of King, Lords, and Commons, under which we live. The present rumour in official circles is, that there have already been recantations of Opposition Lords, and that many more are anticipated. There appears, therefore, some probability that the necessity for new creations may not be so urgent as was at first supposed, or, at least, that a moderate batch may answer the purpose. But we warn the Ministers, that by listening too readily to professions of con version, they may place the country in peril, for they have to deal with the most cunning arid wily of mankind. We fear and mistrust the borough jobbers, et dons ferentes, and would neither accept from them any pledges, or make with them any terms, short of their voting for " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." It is, indeed, something marvellous that the Peers, in general, are so blind to the jeopardy in which their order stands. Can any reasonable being look at the abolition of the Hereditary Peerage in France, and say, that in any event, it is secure of a perma nent footing in England ? According to the Duke of WELLINGTON the Reform Bill is the child of the French revolution, and, however this may be, it is notorious that no important political event in eithe r country is without its action in the other. Nothing is more difficult to answer than the simple question, why hereditary legislation should be a bad thing in one nation, and a good thing in another. By the late event, the people have beet, led into discussions and reflections upon the principles of Government, and into inquiries, whether the system of hereditary legislation has been found, to promote the public interest, and fulfil the public wishes. The House of Lords would at this moment not be endured, if it did not happily contain a fair proportion of men with enlightened minds and patriotic feelings, whose character and influence serve to diminish the odium of the general body. It is the liberal Peers who enable the betes to preserve their rank and station, for they satisfy the people that there is some good in the assembly, however unreasonable may be the prin ciple of its composition. The perpetuity of the body depends, then, upon its good behaviour, its term of authority is quarndiu se bene gesserit—and if its general conduct for the ten years to come, should not be more judicious than it has been for the ten years past, the consequences will be easily dis cernible by those who can read the signs of the times. There cannot be a more striking sign or warning to the Peerage of England, than what has just happened to the Peerage of France, and if our Nobles mark it not, we may be sure " that neither would they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." One thing is certain, that whether by fair means or foul, Ministers must subdue the Oligarchy before they have done. The means are in their dis cretion, but since they hold in their hands the power, they must answer to the country, if they fail for want of exercising that power. Provided the Bill is past with all speed, the people are indifferent whether any, or bow many Peers, are generated ; but Reform they will have, and are, therefore, anxious to know by what course it is to be made to reach them. The fillgeincine Zcitung says, that the neutral, territory of Cracow, winch General RUDIGER at present occupies with 4,000 men, will zhortly be evacuated by the greater part of those troops, and the stipulations contained in the act of the Congress of Vienna be carried into effect, conformably to the treaties entered into by the joint intervention of the three Powers. Nothing was known of the place of abode of General SKRZYNECKI and Prince CZAR- TORYSKI. By a letter which appears in that spirited journal the Belfast Northern Wig, and which, we learn, has been sent off to the LORI) CHANCELLOR, a complete answer is given to the recent assertions of the Mar_ quis of LONDONDERRY, that the :nore respectable and influential inhabitants of Belfast are, in general, indifferent to the success of the Reform Bill. W e trust we shall hear no more of these absurd misre presentations. A Cabinet Council was held this day at the Foreign-office in Downing-street, which was at tended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lord ALTHORP, Lord MELBOURNE, the Earl of CARLISLE, Lord HOL LAND, Lord PALMERSTON, the Duke of RICHMOND, the Right Honourable CHARLES GRANT, and Mr. STANLEY. The Belgian Minister had an interview with Lord PALmERsToN at the Foreign-office. Despatches were received this morning at the Foreign-office from Paris. SUN OFFICE, Half-past Three.

BIRMINGHAM POLITICAL UNION. The following petition to the House of Commons was adopted at a meeting of the Political Council, on Thursday night, and yesterday transmitted to Mr. O'Connell, for presentation : " The petition of the Council of the Birmingham Poli tical Union, to the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, " Humitt,v SHOWETII-1. That your petitioners have no words to express the alarm, astonishment, and disgust, which the conduct of the majority of the House of Lords, in rejecting the Bill of Reform, has scattered throughout the country. " 2. That no arguments which your petitioners can use, can induce the mass of the people to believe that the House of Lords have merely exercised a constitutional right. The people believe that the House of Lords hare no right whatever to interfere in am; way in the elections of Members for your Honourable House ; and when they perceive the House of Lords presuming to reject a mea sure, which has merely reference to the manner in which the people shall choose their representatives in your Honourable House—which has been sanctioned by Iris Majesty, adopted by your Honourable House, and enthu siastically approved by an overwhelming majority of the nation, estimated either in numbers or in property—when the people perceive the House of Lords presuming con temptuously to reject a measure of this kind, it is totally useless to endeavour to persuade them that such rejection is not an act of tyranny. _ _ _ "3. That one of the consequences of this extraordinary conduct in the House of Lords, is a sudden contraction of credit and confidence, and a stagnation of trade and of industry ; which, occurring at a period of general depres sion and distress, threatens shortly to throw the whole population of the country out of employment. " 4. That to Fee and feel that great and vital interests of this kind are sacrificed and endangered by the selfish obstinacy of 200 individuals, who bold their privileges in trust for the people, cannot but increase the indignation which prevails throughout the country. " 5. That in this awful state of the public mind, yo ur petitioners ate of opinion that nothingican prevent the most general and tremendous results but your Honourable House placing itself at the head of the people, and forthwith pursuing to a triumphant issue the glorious cause of Par liamentary Reform—which your Honourable House has hitherto followed, with so much credit, prudence and success. " 6. That the folly and obstinacy of a numerical majo rity of the House of Lords, and by the manly and patriotic pledge which your Honourable House has given, to sup. port his Majesty's Government in carrying the principles of the Bill of Reform into effect, the two Houses of Par- liament are thus placed in direct opposition to each other ; and your petitioners think it their duty to remind your Honourable House that in the present state of the nation it is not possible for this state of things to continue for any length of time, without the country being plunged into a state of utter and irretrievable anarchy. "7. That our petitioners think it their duty respect fully to warn your Honourable House against any com promise which mop possibly be proposed in this great question. Your Honourable House stands high in publi c estimation now—and it is most important to the public peace, and to the safety of the institutions of the country at this momentous period, that no steps should be taken calculated to weaken the public confidence in the Members of your Honourable House. And your petitioners beg leave to express their apprehension, that if the present Bill of Reform is not passed, peacefully and legally, and without mutilation or delay, a much larger measure will be carried by popular violence and force. " S. That, in the opinion of your petitioners , if your Honourable House should be induced to compromise the rights of the people, by yielding, in any way, to the House of Lords, there is no hope of preventing the most frightful anarchy in Engl Ind ; and your petitioners feel it their duty to declare for themselves, that they would prefer to see your Honourable House surrender up, at once, every remnant of Representative Legislation into the hands of the Aristocracy, rather than assist in esta blishing the mockery of a Representative System, which is only calculated to throw dust in the eyes of the and to shelter public wrongs and delinquencies front the national indignation. " Your petitioners do therefore most humbly and ear nestly pray, that your Honourable House will forthwith address his Majesty, urging the necessity of immediately creating one hundred new Peers, or as many more as may be found necessary, to ensure the passing of the Bill of Reform in the House of Lords, without mutilation or delay; or that your Honourable House will be pleased to address his Majesty, humbly imploring his Majesty forth.. with to dissolve the present Parliament, and to sumnwn , immediately, a new Parliament, in which the House of Commons shall be chosen upon the principles laid down in the Bill of Reform, which has been lately passed by your Honourable House. " And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever Pray," &e. On Saturday morning, shortly before the rising of the House of Commons, a new writ was ordertd for Tavistock, in the room of Lord \Vat. RUSSELL, who has vacated by accepting the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundrtds. Lord ARUNDEL, the only Itoman Catholic Peer who voted against the Reform Bill, is married t o a sister of his Grace the Duke of BUCKINGHAM. It has been suggested that great part of the expense of the superannuation allowances of the Commis sioners of Bankrupt might be saved by appointing some of them t o b e the pr es idi ng B arr i s t ers un d er th e Reform Bill, HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) BALMER V. HOGGARTII. This appeal stood for judgment to• day, but the Loan CHANCELLOR, in order to give an opportunity to the par ties if possible to come to an arrangement among them selves, rose to move the postponement of the further con. sideration of the case. In doing so, the Noble Lord entered very fully into the facts of the cake, which we gave in detail at the time it was argued. The appellant bad taken a lease of a farm from the respondent at Hilton, (under an agreement not actually executed , ) at a rent of 5321 a-year, it being stated that the farm contained 333 acres, but upon measurement being made, and it being ascer tained that the farm was 15 acres less, the appellant refused to complete the contract for the lease, at the rent of 5321. a-year. Proceedings in the nature of a trust for a spe cific performance were then instituted in the Courts in Scotland, where Mr. Hoggarth contended that the amount of increase had nothing to do with the contract, the la m having been taken in a lump. This proposition was denied on behalf o f tile respondent, and an issue was directed by the Lord Ordinary for the purpose of trying the fact. That issu e the Lord Chancellor could not but characterize as most indefinite, slovenly, and unworkmanlike, not being at all calculated to ascertain the point required, but to raise great doubts in the mind of any Judge or Jury. On appeal to the Court of Session that judgment was re versed, accompanied wi.ha recommendation to the parties to bring another action. With that recommendation the Lord Chancellor could not concur, considering that it would be infinitely better for the pat ties to meet together and try if they could not arrange matters, the amount in dispute being only about 11/. a year, the case having al ready been before three tribunals, and costs to a large amount having already been incurred, much larger than any benefit the parties could reap from the proceeding. He should, therefore, as his anxious object was that the case might go no further, strongly advise both parties to stop all proceedings, reform the contract for the lease, if the tenant was a good one, and the landlord seemed satisfied with him, and should advise him to give up the 11/., bat if the appellant would not agree to that, then be should ad vise the respondent to try if he could not meet him baj way. Litigation sufficient had already taken place. He had thrown out these hints for the consideration of the parties, and in order that they might have time to reflect upon them, be would move their Lordships to postpone the further consideration of this subject sine die, and he should recommend to the parties to give up costs on both sides. Lord WYNFORA entirely concurred with all that had been said by his Noble Friend relative to the careless man ner in which issues were framed in Scotland. The pre sent case completely verified the words of a great writer who said— " That causes were traversed and so little won, That he who gained them was at last undone." The further consideration of the case was then postponed. GRIEVE V. WILSON. In this case Lord Lyndhurst had appointed to meet the Lord Chancellor, at ten o'clock this morning, to give judgment, but in consequence of the Noble Lord not hav ing made his appearance at the time appointed, and it be ing then understood that he was gone to Paris, the fur ther consideration of the case was postponed, and their Lordships adjourned. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (TIIIS DAY.) The polling has been going on briskly in favour of the Reformers this morning. There is now net the slightest chance of the other party doing any good at this election, a fact of which they seem to be aware as they are using little or no exertion. The day's poll, at one o'clock, was as follows : The 1 - Ant Mayor 342 Alderman Thompson... 327 Sir P. Laurie 33 TWO O'CLOCK. The Lord Mayor 1 MS Thompson 1,609 Laurie t.'oB Wait Innat I 23 THREE O'CLOCK. Lord Mayor 1,761 Thompson Laurie Waithman THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CL 0 CK. A Jamaica mail has arrived after a quick passage, saihd on the 13th September. Papers to the above date have been received at the North and South American Coffee house. (From the Jamaica Paper of the 12th September.) A smart shock of an earthquake was felt in this city at seven o'clock yesterday morning. (From the Paper of the Bth September.) We understand when the packet left Carthagena every thing was quiet. General Flores has sent troops from Bogota against Panama, which bad declared the Isthmus independent of Colombia ; 300 men had sailed from Car thagena to aid the Panamians; and on the day the Duke of York arrived at Carthagena, Lugue, with 400 men, had sailed sailed fur Panama to protect the inhabitants from the marauders, commanded by Flores. At Bogota there had been disturbances. Obando and Cassare opposed each other in an attempt for the supremacy, :and no doubt another revolution will be the consequence ; but these are so fre quent as to excite no sort of interest. The inhabitants having neither capital or credit, they have decreed that a duty of 45 per cent. shall be levied on British goods im ported by English resident merchants. The Board of Trade has, at the suggestion of the Agent of the Island, been pleased to direct that the ports of Black River, Port Mutant, and Rio Bueno shall be declared free ports. The Order in Council to this effect may be looked for by the next packet. By the French Papers received this morning we find that two Prussian corps d'armje, each of twenty thousand men, arrived at Dusseldorf, and are going to Treves. Two French Generals are at Mentz, observing the movements of the Prussizns. M.

Whatever may befal that enlightened body the bench of Bishops, they cannot say they entered upon their mad project of setting the King and the people at defiance without suffi cient warning—they cannot say they were ignorant of the feel ing with which they were regarded by 9-lOths of the working classes—they cannot say they were not told that that feeling might be allayed if they for once in their lives acted rightly; but was sure to burst out with terrible effect if they persisted in setting themselves against the declared wishes of the nation. They have had ample warning of these things : that Press which they revile and affect to deride has inter. preted to them over and over again the fate that was impending over their heads. But they refused to listen to the voice of the sybil—and behold the consequences! They are now openly despised, and the sanctity of their characters turned into a mockery and a jest. Last night we had a display of popular feeling such as - may make the profligate tremble, and which the sober man will con. template with dread. In the hasty report I sent you of the meeting held here on Monday, I believe I emitted to mention the shouts of execration which followed the announcement of the part taken by the Bishops against the Bill, and expressions were used by persons in the crowd which it would probably not be safe for me to repeat here. Suffice it to say they were such as to show how deeply their conduct had affected the minds of the people. On Tuesday evening this feeling was unequivo. cally displayed. In the course of the day it became generally reported that the working classes intended to burn an effigy of the Bishop of this diocese; and before eight o'clock in the even ing an intense crowd of persons had assembled in Caldewgate— generally known as the hot-bed of radicalism—to see the pro ceedings. At eight o'clock the crowd began to move into the city in procession, accompanied with music and flags, and torches, and bearing effigies of the Bishop of Carlisle and the Devil! These were paraded through all the streets of the city, amidst one of the greatest crowds ever witnessed here. Shouts of execration followed the effigy of the Bishop, and at every pause the Devil was made to push and urge him forward. In the course of the procession the band frequently played " God save the King !" On arriving at the Market Cross the two figures were made to embrace each other, and salute with a loving kiss, amidst the cheers and laughter of the crowd. Fire was then set to them, and they were consumed amidst immense cheering. The burning at an end, three cheers were given for the King and three cheers for Earl Grey ; three cheers were also given for Reform ; after which the crowd peaceably separated. It is reported that an effigy of the Duke of Cumberland is to be burned this evening. The Bishop arrived at his Palace of Rowe, five miles from this place, yesterday, for the purpose of consecrating a new• church in Caldewgate, and is said to be terribly alarmed, and it is generally believed the consecration will be put off: REFORM MEETINGS. D ONCA S TER. Abridged from the Second Edition of the Doncaster Gazette of Friday.) A public meeting of the inhabitants of Doncaster and the neighbourhood was held this day (Friday) at the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of ad dressing the King on the Lords' rejection of the Reform Bill, to request him to continue the services of his present Ministers, and to use his own prerogative to insure the ultimate passing of the Reform Bill ; and also to take into consideration the pro priety of presenting an address to Earl Grey and his Majesty's Ministers, expressive of a grateful approval of their high minded and noble exertions in the cause of the people. As might have been anticipated, judging from the numerously signed requisition, the Hall was completely crowded, and the utmost unanimity pervaded the meeting. On the motion of Sir W. B. COOKE, Bart., seconded by Mr. J. W. CHILDERS, the Chair was taken by G. HOLMES, Esq. (the Mayor). Sir WILLIAM COOKE—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen,— We behold 19)9 Peers arrayed against their Sovereign, a large majority of the Aristocracy, the Members of the House of Commons, and the people.—(Cheers.) Good gracious ! was there ever such an act of insanity, as that 199 Peers, without any party to support them, should attempt to overthrow the other orders of the state ? Ido earnestly beseech those 199 Peers, to read, mark, learn, and Inwardly digest the signs of the times; and to yield before it be too late. Gentlemen,—l, , and several of those around me, attended the county meeting at York, on Wednesday last. Nothing could be more gratifying than the whole proceedings of that meeting. Lord Milton, a, well as all the county Members, except Sir John Johnstone, who was detained in London by his Parliamentary business, attended this meeting. They told us that the majority of the Commons had determined—resolutely determined to support his Majesty and his Ministers.—(Hear, and cheers.) They were determined to exercise all their constitutional powers to carry this Reform Bill.—(Cheers.) They told us that Lord Grey had determined Rot to desert the people, and I feel con fident that the people will not desert him.—(Loud cheers.) They also informed us that the renowned 199 were so divided and distracted among themselves, that Lord Wharncliffe was compelled to abandon his promised measure of Reform.— (Hear, hear, hear.) Lord Morpeth made an appeal to the people, in that chaste, that classical, and that beau tiful language, for which he is so much distinguished, (and which appears to be perfectly natural to him,) exhorting the people to be firm, but moderate ; patient, perse vering, and peaceable. Such an appeal, if made to this meet ing, would be uncalled for and unnecessary.—(Loud cheers.) Sir William concluded by proposing the first resolution. Mr. T. WRIGHTSON, in seconding the motion, said, I must confess I had not anticipated the rejection of this Bill by the House of Lords. I had hoped that whatever might be the opinions they entertained, they would have considered the opi_ Mons of the intelligent mass of the people, and have given way. I must confess too, that thepart which the Church took on that . - . . debate did surprise me.—(Hear, hear.) I had thought that the ministers of a religion which enjoins sanctity, would not have stood the foremost and first in defending a system, of which bribery and perjury are such striking features.—(Loud applause.) hadl thought not have wvohtiedch as forbidsthey drunkenness have done, in defence of a system of Government, which, more as thata heinous the crime, ministers would o of a than any other in Europe, or the world, is characterised in its elections by drunkenness.—(Hear, hear.) That most impor tant part of the question which we are now met to discuss is this—are the people of England to call upon his Majesty to neu tralise the opposition of the House of Lords by a fresh creation of Peers ? I must confess I feel a strong reluctance to such it measure ; but if the two Houses of Parliament cannot be brought to agree by any other means, then I would let his Ma jesty create Peers to whatever number may be necessary.— (Loud applause.) What, are Peers to be created for having done dirty jobs, and are they never to be created to carry one good measure ?--(Hear, hear)—to oppress the country and ;ie. ver to uphold the people's liberties ?—(Hear, hear.) I beg to second the resolution. The resolution was then put by the Chairman, and agreed to unanimously, amidst loud cheering. Mr. Alderman BRANSON moved the second resolution. Mr. J. WALBANKE CHILDERS was received with laud cheers. The resolution which I have to second expresses a feeling of loyalty and approbation, and of high admiration of his Majesty; and I am sure, on this point, our hearts are so full, that no words of mine can add to the enthusiasm which you all feel for King William.—(Cheers.) I believe, that when the 199, on Saturday morning, gave their votes for the rejection of the Bill, they dreamed that they were again to return to their old places. It was indeed a dream!—(Loud cheers.) The Ministers, relying on the King and the people, knew better. They said, we know the people —we rely on the people—and we will never forsake our posts, And we will tell them, gentle- men, that they are not deceived. We have nailed our colours to the mast, and there is nothing that shall take them down till we are cut to pieces. —(Continued cheering.) Modification is talked of; but we will never suffer any modification--any modi fication that shall touch the sacred principles of the BilL These sacred principles, in my mind, rest in schedule A, the disfran. chising schedule—schedule B, the half disfranchising one; and in the 101. householders. Sir R. Peel, the great leader of their party, may propose to come forward half way, to recommend some modification. But I would tell Sir Robert Peel, that much as we respect him in many points, we do not regard him as a Statesman.—(Loud applause.) Would a great Statesman, after twenty years of his life stating that the polar star of his conduct was the rejection of the Catholic claims—after perse vering in this for twenty years, would a great statesman in twenty" minutes have changed his opinion ?-_(Hear.) Sir Robert Peel (I think we can judge from his conduct) has seen the necessity of a Reform in some degree or other. But we will hear of no modification—no modification of the essential principles of the Bill.—(Cheers.) Mr. G. PARKER moved the third resolution, The Rev. J. I'LATTS was received with much applause. He said, we have a glorious King—a Reforming King: he will stand fast to his people, he will stand fast to his Ministers ; and, as has been justly observed, this measure is only postponed—it must and will be carried. The Lord Chancellor has declared that the Bill will be carried if not exactly the same in words yet equally efficient, without any modification ; arta I have no doubt that it will speedily be carried.—(Mtk-h cheering.;— Be persevering, firm, calm, and quil=t , show that you are veterans, true-born Englishmen, worthy of the franchise which this Bill will give to many of you.—(Loutl applause.! It is certainly a pretty clear case, that the Bill is lost by the votes of the Bishops.—(Hear.) If they had voted fo the. Bill, there would have been a majority, not of one, but of 41X. I have something more to say on this point, r,tid I am extremely sorry for it. It is credibly asserted (I wish It may prove to be false) that the Ministers had, strong reasons to suppose that the the Ministers uere so delicate as not to put the direct question ; Bench of Bishops would have voted f o r the Bill. It is said that yet, that some of the Bishops, in private conversation, had spoken in favour of the Bill, and that others had insinuated that o l f l o , Ori a dt t ,o l dus,,ih)essoa•,hkwefnhoeritlthhteiel er A rees r t c .;; h as b h i e s r l eit io a p sso I consideredo ftoc.elttpeerc. they would remain neutral, and that others had given a pro_ miss that they would vote feu the Rill. The Ministers did not o bhtl i rteyba , i rsn s otv' : e.' f .od r ill i io e gt i n , e d ir l 'lt , ih: a te i si i i p floi eared as an en calculate on having them, as a body, their enemies, in assistiop els - •—(Continued cheering.' The Bishops have, certainty, a right t o vote as they think p r oper; but, then, ezudence, di scret i on, moderation, and pe. hey, oug4t lo be considered. D o not the 13islaops receive their onoluments from the p eop l e ? I ar,p .4.rsain, by t? church, than theirall its conduct, enemies they have done more injury put together.—(ch ~,, CP's.) it is said th e c h urc h i s i n danger; but, it is not in d anger, except from those who neglect its duties and violate its principles. (After some further remarks, in AllUblOn to the church, the R C ev, CIIIIM.4I . 4I.)Ceeded.) I trust we shall never meet again en such an occasion as this ; but, !!],t the next time we meet, it will be a day of ti iumph, to re_ }Dice for the passing of the Bill—the second Magna Cliarta of the rights of the freemen of England.—(Cheers.) The spirit of Reform is the life and. soul of the British nation. All those who have shone in the pages of history, or have been animated by a spirit of Reform—all the Noble characters on historic re cord have been animated by a spirit of Reform. It was ti e spirit of Reform that animated and gave energy to Chatham and Fox; and which now does to Grey, Russell, Brougham, and others. The spirit of Reform has made this nation what it is ; and the spirit of Reform must save this nation—(Cheers. ) and then " It will be great, glorious, and free--- First flower of the earth, first gem of the sea."---(Applause. , Mr. C. WIGH A3I moved the fourth resolution, which was seconded by Mr. T. WALKER. Mr. Alderman SHEPPARD moved that the resolutions be inserted in the Doncaster Gazette. Mr. T. B. MASON, in seconding the last resolution , ob served, the 199 Peers (to use an expression now almost forgot_ ten) thought to have Burked the BilL Thank Heaven, it was too strong for them. The passing of the Bill depends on the exertions of the people; and I need scarcely add—persevere, be firm, united, be prudent, discreet, and peaceable.—(Cheers.) Four cheers were then proposed for King William, whi; li were enthusiastically given, and again repeated ; after whic h the meeting dispersed. GLOUCESTER. (From the Gloucester Journal.) The intelligence of the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords reached this city on Saturday evening, and the announcement of the majority against it created at first great consternation amongst the Reformers here. No decided display of public indignation took place for some days, the people seem ing to be stunned rather than excited by the issue. On Thurs day evening s muffled peal of bells was rung for several hours, and at night a figure dressed up as one of the highest dignitaries of the church was paraded about, and finally burnt amidst the cheers of the populace at Littleworth. Yesterday a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the freemen and inhabitants of this city was held at the Shire hall, fur the purpose of addressing his Majesty respecting the Reform Bill. The MAYOR was unanimously called to the Chair. Mr. PARKER, in moving the resolutions for an address to be presented to his Majesty, observed that it ought to be recollected that the House of Lords, who had rejected the Reform Bill, was composed not only of many Noblemen who were themsclvs personally interested in the boroughs that were to be disfran chised, but also of Noblemen who are men inveterate in their prejudices. It was of the highest importance that the measur r f Reform should be carried, and he need not say that any thing short of the principles of the Reform Bill neither would nor ought to satisfy the country. Mr. PHI LLPOTTS", concurring, as he did, in every sentiment contained in the resolutions, and feeling, as he did, not only the propriety, but the absolute necessity of Reform, was most happy to second the resolutions. AU history showed that the House of Lords had always been obliged to give way. Was it to be en. dured that 199 Peers should controul the wishes of the people, from whom all legitimate power arose ? He would be one of the first to resist any thing derogatory to the dignity of the House of Lords. However, with respect to one branch of the House of Lords, be meant the Spiritual Barons, he would say that they are men entitled to our highest respect ; but still, however great his respect for them was in spiritual matters, when he saw Bishops coining forward to intermeddle in politics, he did think that they were out of their places.---(Loud cheering.) Mr. Alderman D. M. WALKER proposed the address. Mr. CARTER seconded the address. Mr. HEANE considered the measure of Reform not as a thing that related to the present generation only, but as one which would affect succeeding ages. Mr. PIIILLPOTTS proposed that the address should be pre sented by Lord Segrave and the Members for the city, and that a copy of the resolutions should be signed by the Mayor, and sent to Lords Grey and Althorp. Mr. Alderman D. M. NN ALKER seconded this resolution. Mr. FRANCILLON stated, that it had been his misfortune to have resided for some years in several of the worst of the rotten boroughs, and he had there seen perjury committed, and indeed almost every crime that would disgrace human nature. He had resided for four years in the borough of Rye, and had done a great deal towards the emanci),ating of that borough, and puttin the right of voting into the hands of the inhabitants. The Mayor having left the chair, Mr. PARKER moved, and Mr. Pntttrorrs seconded, a resolution of thanks to him for hav ing so promptly convened the meeting, and for his conduct in the 6tair. Three cheers were given for Reform, and the meeting sepa rated, a band of music, which was in attendance, striking up the National Anthem. The utmost enthusiasm and unanimity per vaded the meeting. Mr. Phillootts, we believe, is brother to the Bishop of Exeter. CHRISTCHUI?CIi; SURREY. In compliance with a requisition addressed to the Church wardens of the parish of Christchurch, Surrey, signed by nu. merous respectable inhabitants, a meeting was held at the British and Foreign Society, opposite the workhouse, at six o'clock on Friday evening ; Mr. P. DAN irs, Churchwarden, its passing of m the t the Chair. Several reso•utions were proposed, censuring, in strong terms, the manner in which the Bill on Reform was re jected by the Lords, expressing an opinion that the Bishops had violated the great principles of Christianity by their recent vote, and avowing the undiminished contidecce of the meeting in the wisdom and patriotism of his Majesty's Ministers. A petition was then read, praying his Majesty to exercise his prerogative in such a manner as, In his ws t ee v e i r s me do:i rrti a , n f,, d ;rnt i n n haen t ,,l h r e ileo L zi, , i lii ,i, ion of his re silii7ll.s i b t l , e , aviilhvoilseerosi whichsholi should ing t ' lien separated, after giving nine cheers for the King and meet_ Mmaters, and three groans for the Bishops and the rest of the majority against the Bill DORSET ELECTION,-(FOURTEENTH DAY.

This theatre is greatly improved since the accession of Mr. W. 11. Wmuams to the management. Lie Las produced many novelties since the short time the enson has commenced, and has also made such arrangements in the order system as will render the boxes as respectable as they have ever been on any former occasion. An entirely new grand wido-draine, called the Poisoned Chalice or the Knights of Castile, which has been above a month in prepara tion, will be produced this evening ; it has been got up at a considerable expence, and is supposed to be the most splendid piece that has been brought out here fear many yearn.

YEOMANRY CAVALRY.—.We perceive by the Kent Papers, that several troops of yeomanry in that county, on hearing of the rejection of the Reform Bin, sent in their resienations, refusing any longer to serve under the Anti-Reform commanders.
