( c i) 67) To tlie GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, And FREEHOLDERS of the COUNTY of NORTHAMPTON. GENTLEMEN, THE protracted Contest in which we have been engaged is at length concluded. You have expressed your decided approbation of the principles which have guided my political conduct. To say that I thank you for this, that it gives me the highest gratification, is perfectly unnecessary. The triumph which we have obtained is purely political. You have displaced your old Member, who has served you for thirty-four years, a man well known to you and de servedly popular among you, and you have elected in his Place Lord Milton, known only to most of you by his Public conduct. The triumph, then, of the cause for which we have contended is complete; there is nothing to'detract from its value, nothing to diminish its lustre. Our adversaries, indeed, have said that our success has been owing to a previous canvass. I believe that before the day of nomination no such canvass existed to any con siderable extent,—none existed, whatever, with my know ledge; and I am sure that any effect which could be pro duced by it, was more than counterbalanced by the cir cumstance of Lord Milton never having appeared upon the hustings, never having asked for a vote, and never having taken any part in the Election. His Majesty's Ministers appealed to the people against the decision of the late House of Commons ; the people have expressed their opinion in a manner impossible to be misunderstood. We, as Ministers, have only, therefore, to pursue the course which we have commenced. Backed, as we are, by the support of the whole country, we have nothing to fear; we have only to press forward the impor tant measure which we have proposed, admitting of such Improvements in its details as may seem to be desirable, but holding fast to the main principles on which it is founded—principles which the great majority of our fellow countrymen have now stamped with the seal of their ap probation. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble servant. Northampton, May 23. ALTHORP. NOTICE. THE EXHIBITION of the NATIONAL REPOSITORY, GALLERY of the ROYAL AIEWS, CHARING-CROSS.

BRADING, MAY 21. (From the Portsmouth Herald.) A requisition was presented to the Bailiffs of the ancient anti loyal town of Brading, on Saturday last, Signed by 27 of the most respectable inhabitants of the town and parish of Beading and vicinity, request ing them to call a meeting at the Town-hall for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of framing a dutiful, loyal, and affectionate address to his Majesty, expressive of their gratitude for his patriotic firmness in having dissolved the late Par liament with a view of appealing to the sense of his people on the great subject of Reform. The Bailiff, agreeably to the request, appointed a meeting to be held on Thursday last, at twelve o'clock at noon, when the Town-hall was soon filled by the inhabi tants, and the business of the day commenced by Mr. RICHARD SMITH, of Languard, proposing, and Mr. JOHN COOPER, seconding the - proposal that Mr. William Duke, the Bailiff, should take the Chair, which was carried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN then explained, that the object of the meeting was to agree to an address expressive of their affectionate attachment to his Majesty, and gratitude for his late exercise of the royal preroga tive, and he hoped that every person who might wish to address them, might have an impartial hear ing, and that the whole proceedings would be charac terized by decorum and order. Mr. SIME then rose and said, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, the pleasing duty has devolved on me to move that an address be voted by this meeting to his Majesty agreeably to the sense of the requisi tion. In making this proposal, gentlemen, give me leave to congratulate you and my fellow -townsmen, that as Brading was the first place in the Isle of Wight to come forward in the year 1817, to advo cate and promote the great cause of Reform, so it is now the first to propose an address to his Majesty, thanking him for the resolute and determined tone in which he has lately expressed himself in appeal ing to the sense of his people, on this great and im portant question. Little, Sir, could we, at the time to which I have alluded, wheii Brading and Reform were almost synonimous terms in this island, and both equally obnoxious; little, I say, could we then hope, that we should have had occasion to meet here for the present purpose. But times are changed, the King, his Ministers, and all that are great, good, and honest, are now ranged on the side of the people to promote the good cause. Shall we hesitate then, Sir, a moment to express our thanks in a firm and respectful manner to his Majesty ? No, I trust, you will unanimously join with me in this sentiment, and I trust also that the time is not far distant, when we shall again meet here to cele brate the perfect triumph " of the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." Mr. Sime then proposed that the following address be adopted by the meeting : The dutiful, affectionate, and loyal address, from the Bailiffs and inhabitants of the town and parish of Beading and vicinity thereof, in the Isle of Wight, to the King's Most Excellent Majesty. " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, " We, the Bailiffs and inhabitants of the town and parish of Brading, and vicinity thereof, in the Isle of Wight, humbly beg leave to address your Majesty expres sive of our sincere and lasting admiration and gratitude, in common with the rest of your Majesty's most faithful and dutiful subjects, for the inestimable boon conferred on us by your Majesty's firm and decisive exertion of the Kingly prerogative , in dissolving the late Parliament, whereby your Majesty has made a just and generous ap peal to the sense of your people, on the long called for and momentous measure of Parliamentary Reform, we, your Majesty's subjects, being fully satisfied of its necessity, and convinced that the wishes of your people are not to de stroy, but to restore the Constitution of your forefathers. " And we rejoice and congratulate your Majesty, that so glorious an opportunity has been given to Englishmen to transmit to posterity the British Constitution improved and invigorated in one of its most essential parts. And that your Majesty may long live to witness the happy and beneficial effects, which we hope will ensue from the adoption of a new Parliament, of those measures which were proposed by your Majesty's Ministers, is our fervent prayer. " Signed by the Chairman and Churchwardens in behalf of the meeting." Mr. SANDS rose to second the proposal, and traced the causes which had led to the propitious slate of the public mind, on the question of Reform. He then dilated on the probable consequences of the rising generation and to the nation at large. He stated that a reaction had certainly been produced among the lower classes; a reaction the most event ful in the history of our country. The lower classes being now sufficiently enlightened to detect that the benevolence sometimes displayed by their superiors was wrung from them in the first place in the shape of taxes. The spirit of these times had detected that there was a great deal more sentimertal titan real benevolence, and that their's is a new species of practical hypocrisy—that the influential classes were led more to relieve than remove the causes of dis tress in the operatives' ranks of life. " Look," said Mr. Sands, " at the various national charities, many of them would not be required, were it not for the abuses and corruptions of the State. The schools established throughout the kingdom have led to this knowledge, and many who have contributed to their formation, would gladly retrace their steps if they could, they would gladly obscure the little light that has burst upon the nation. Mr. Sands then expatiated further upon the gratifying circum stances which had caused the meeting, and begged to second the address. Carried with the greatest applause. Mr. R. SMlTll—Gentlemen, I will take the liberty of making a few observations on the labourers, for they feel gratitude to the King for his patriotic conduct. It is generally supposed that this class is but little if at all acquainted with the subject of politics, but I can assure the meeting, from my knowledge of the labouring classes, that they too can feel grateful to his M a j esty f or t h e attempt made by him and his Ministers to better their condition. The schoolmaster h as b een abroad amongst them. The iniquitous system has pressed them completely down to the lowest stage of miseiy, but the proposed alterations will have the e ff ect o f restoring them, in the course of time, to their former comforts and privileges. I beg to propose that the address be signed by the Bailiffs and Churchwardens on behalf of the meeting. motion, and i Mr.JAMES COOPER rote to secon d the ni observed that he believed it was the addressfirst Royalty ever sent from the town of Bradi g to n he considered the meeting in August lastt: and the starting point of Reform in the island. There were persons who had attended that meeting from various parts, and he believed an impulse had been given by the Beading meeting, which had proved advantageous to the cause; and that, w hi c h ap peared at first but a weak plant, had now grown and prospered into a flourishing tree. The feeling evinced by the ReEriners of Newport had produced a great effect upon the country. lie then combated the absurd notion of those who pretended to be Reformers, and yet opposed the Bill. " Our King," said Mr, C'., " set us a noble example of firmness and determination, when he dared to dissolve that House of Commons which had so long misrepre sented the people." Mr. C. concluded by second ing the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. EIDDICK-1 Will make one or two observa tions. Though a never before me. in this place to perform the pleasing duly of addressing his Majesty, we did on a former occa , ,ion agree to an address to persecuted and injured Queen. Now from what -e know of our Sailor Monarch, lie having thrown 'limself on his people, and driven from his presence lie base faction, by whose infamous cabals the last King's mind was poisoned against his consort, there ; s no cause of fear that his happiness will be inter rupted. lie has proved himself a just, a generous, old a manly King. Ile has set every thing at de fiance, but the just wishes of his people. Let us, then, act the part of freemen, and never allow our- Selves to be enslaved. The people will always ;trove their devotion to their King by their deter !nination to support the Constitution. I therefore beg to propose that the Chairman be. requested to transmit a copy of the address to Lord Viscount Ntelbourne, with a request to present the same to his Majesty. Mr. EDWARD WILKINS said he always felt plea sure in meeting his Brading friends on all occasions, but to-day to join them in expressing their gratitude and attachment to their King, who had so'well de served their thanks, filled his bosom with the most overwhelming sensations of delight. His Majesty had, in the words of his gracious speech, which he held in his hand, stated that lie was induced to re sort to the measure of dissolving the Parliament, that the sense of his people might be ascertained in the way in which it could be most constitutionally and authentically expressed ; and lie (Mr. W.) would ask how had that opinion been expressed ? Was it possible there could be any mistake on the subject ? Wherever the people possessed a voice, it had been loudly and unequivocally expressed. At Liverpool, the hereditary Member for that borough, although he went to his late constituents with all the confidence imaginable, looking on Liverpool as his freehold, was left in such a minority as must have convinced him of the folly of opposing a na tion's wish. Even in Cornwall, where rotten bo roughs were as thick as hail-stones in a storm, and where, of course, many were interested in support ing the system, Sir H. Vyvyan met with a signal defeat. 'lndeed, the whole of the elections must have convinced the most bigotted and ignorant, that the people had made up their minds to have Re form. But, said Mr. W., when they obtain that boon, that blessing, let them be careful whom they elect as their representatives, and let them not give their votes to any who will not give strong pledges to support economy and retrenchment in every de partment of the State, for unless they do this, Re form will not give to the nation the advantages pro mised by its advocates. Mr. W. then dilated, in a very able manner, on the subjects under discussion, and concluded by seconding the motion. Mr. J. COOPER—Sir, in consequence of the re. solution which I now hold in my hands, I beg to say a few words on the merits of the different journals which will be proposed for the insertion of the ad dress. The first I will mention is The Sun, as being a powerful and uncompromising advocate for Re form. The Brighton Guardian has also been par ticularly useful to the inhabitants of this island, in their late struggle against the boroughmongers, by its ready insertion of articles, exposing the corrupt system which at a former period could not find ad mission into any of the local Papers. The Hamp shire Telegraph has lately evinced some spirit in the cause of Reform, but of that Paper I cannot say more than propose its advertising the Address, to gether with The Sun and Brighton Guardian. This was seconded by Mr. STONE, and carried una nimously. Mr. E. WILKINS then made some few obser vations on the comparative merits of the different newspapers, and eulogised The Sun Paper; and ob served, that to the Press might be attributed the emancipation of the tongues of the Isle of Wight Reformers. Mr. R. SMITH bore testimony to the usefulness of the Press, and spoke at some length on its powerful labours in the cause. He also spoke in the highest terms of praise of Mr. Cohbett and his efforts, for advancing the spread of knowledge among the people. Mr — . ErioNsaid, that though he could not agree in every particular with Mr. Cobbett, he acknow ledged that his publications had given a great deal of political information to the poor. Mr. J. MIDLANE then proposed that the thanks of the meeting should be given to the Chairman, for his able-spirited and impartial conduct, which was seconded by Mr. Exton, who observed that it de volved on him to second a vote of thanks to the Chairman, as much of their comfort depended on the person who was appointed to fill that situation. He therefore conceived it to be their duty to express their thanks for the very able and excellent manner in which the business of the day had been con ducted, and said " I remember attending the meet. ing which was called at the Guildhall, when the poor were excited to acts of violence in many parts of the country. At this said meeting, the avowed principles of which were to maintain and keep the peace of the island, a deaf chairman was appointed, and folly was never more completely displayed than by the appointment of a person to that situation so totally deficient in that necessary qualification." Mr. Exton continued for some length of time on the ne cessity of returning thanks to his most Gracious Majesty for his patriotic conduct, and concluded by seconding the motion, which was carried by uni versal acclamation. At the conclusion of the business of the meeting, the party adjourned to the Wheat Sheaf Inn, where, having been joined by several gentlemen from New port, they partook of an excellent and well -served dinner by Mr. W, Welburn, the landlord, whose polite and unceasing attention to the wants of the company deserve our warmest thanks. Mr. Smith was appointed Chairman during the evening, Mr. Sime acted as Vice, and several very excellent toasts were given. A good band of music was in attendance, who paraded the streets during part of the evening, and an immense number of the population having assembled near the Wheat Sheaf, they were addressed from the windows of the Inn by Messrs. Wilkins and Smith, and we are happy in saying the day pass:-d.off with the greatest propriety. The Paella of EGYPT, when visiting one of his miltary schools, exhorting the young officers to zea and perseverance, the first difficulties being already over come, said, ." if I had any influence in heaven, I should work miracles in your behalf; but I am nothing more than a man, and can only give you salaries." APPLE BLIGHT.—The accounts which have just been received from Herefordshire and other "apple counties" contain most gloomy information. It appears that the late north-easterly winds, which have been so ge neral during th e p as t s ix w ee k s , h ave so ma t er i a lly in jured the bloom that the crop of apples is expected to fall short of "an average harvest." Cider is expected to maintain a " maximum price" as the season a‘lvances ; the price has already advanced upwards of 20 per cent. Bad news for the cider-bibbers. PAINTERS' PRICES.—III the recent life of Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, his biographer informs us that up to the year 1802 his prices had been, for a three qulrters, 30 guineas ; for a half length, 60 guineas ; and for a whole length, 120 guineas. In 1802 he raised the charge for the smallest size to 35 guineas, quadrupling it for the whole length. At these rates he continued to paint till 1806, when lie raised his charge fur the smallest size to 50 guineas, and so on in proportion. In 1808 be raised his prices to 80 guineas for the smallest size, and 320 for the whole length ; and in 1810 advanced them to 100 guineas for small heads, and 400 guineas for full lengths. At these latter prices he continued to paint for ten years, and iu 1820 made cite more advance, which he never exceeded. GENERAL ELECTION. NORTHAMPTON, MA r 23. The triumph of the Reformers of Northampton-1 shire was celebrated to-day. The HIGH SHERIFF havin g declared Lord Althorp and Lord Milton d u ly elected to serve as knights of , he shire _for the county of Northampton, in the en suing Parliament, Lord Ammon' (who was received with the most enthusiastic cheering) said, it was now 25 years ago since he first appeared before them as a candidate for their suffrages. There was then a contest for fie honour of representing them in Parliament, and it the time he, as well as others, thought a very severe contest ; but all must agree, that it was a Very trifling affair when compared with that contest which they had now brought to so happy a conclu sion. He was then honoured with their choice, and he was further honoured by being placed at the head of the poll. Mr• Cartwright was then, as he had been lately, one of the candidates, and they then raised him above Mr. Cartwright by a majority of 95 votes. After 25 years' experience of his conduct and his character, both public and private, they had given him a majority over Mr. Cartwright of 457. —(Loud cheering.) Allow him to say that he must consider this as no mean triumph ; for Mr. Cart wright was a man most deservedly estimated in the highest degree in every relation of life, who had at tended to the business of his constituents with the greatest attention and diligence, and who, more over, by his general manners and deportment, had rendered himself highly popular in the county. Grateful as he was for all the repeated and past favours he had received at their hands, still, on this occasion he had much more reason to be gratified than on any other occasion of the kind. He had presented himself before them on this occasion as a Minister of the Crown--as one of those Ministers of the Crown who had introduced a measure for amending the representation of the people.—(Loud cheering.) That measure, however, had been re jected by the House of Commons, and against that decision an appeal had been made to the people, " and bow," continued the Noble Lord, " have the people decided that appeal ? Why, the people have stood by us—those Ministers of the Crown—in the most decisive and most unanimous manner. We have had the gratification of finding our views con firmed by the approbation of the people; we, de siring to effect that which was beneficial to our country, have had the happiness to find our country men applauding our desires and sanctioning the mode in which we manifested those desires; we have ascertained that we and the people have thought alike; and we have experienced, therefore, what all Ministers so actuated by such motives, and resolved upon measures for public good, will ever find, the firmest and the most noble support from the country.—(Loud cheering.) This contest, he assured them, notwithstanding what they had heard upon the hustings, had been fought under great disadvantages on their part. It was a decided and well-known disadvantage in a contested election that one of the candidates should be absent, and yet, notwithstanding that disadvantage—notwithstand ing the popularity of the opponents—notwithstand ing those opponents bore the highest character, and were well known in the county—notwithstanding these things, and notwithstanding that Lord Milton was known to them only as a public man— yet, so great had been their energy and zeal in the cause they had espoused, that al though Lord Milton was to be only the instrument by means of which they were to fight in support of that cause, they had viewed the matter as became Englishmen,—they had selected their course of con duct with as much good sense as good feeling, and, knowing that it was the cause, not the individual, in behalf of which their exertions were to be strained, they had, by their admirable perseverance, brought that cause to a triumphant issue, and the glory of the victory was theirs, for they alone had gained it.—(Loud cheering.)—He could not 1)14 his own case quite upon the same footing with that on which his Noble Friend's rested. He had been known to them now for a very long time, and it would be affectation in him if he pretended not to know, that in addition to their approbation of his political principles, he had the advantage of personal popularity among them.—(Cries of " So you ought to have.") —He would detain them no longer than to thank them most sincerely for having once more intrusted their ihterests to his care, and particularly for the manner and the circumstances which had attended that honour on the present oc casion. —(The Noble Lord sat down amidst uni versal applause, and " three cheers for Althorp" were given as soon as the burst of approbation had subsided.) The thanks of the meeting having been given to the High Sheriff, and to Mr. Clarke, the assessor, for their able and impartial conduct during the elec tion, the meeting separated. Lord ALTHORP was chaired through the town with more than the pomp that ordinarily accom panies the ceremony of chairing a county Member. Upon the occasion of his election in December last, when be was appointed Chancellor of the Exche quer, a triumphal car had been prepared for him by his constituents. This car, decorated anew, and now adorned with the colours of himself and Lord for his comp anion the Rev. Mr. Dundas, Milto n , was pat in re q uisition to-da y. Lord Al thorp had the brother-in-law of Lord Milton ; and who, in the absence of Mr. Wentworth Fitzwilliam, repre sented Lord Milton, girded with a sword, as a Kniaht of the Shire. The procession which went before the car was composed of many hundreds of the electors : the streets of Northampton were thronged a lmost to suffocation; and the windows, nd yea the tops of the houses, were crowded with as by he s l l v i t o ts uts the e id te t w h n e of handkerchiefs and flags, greeted the hero a drawn of t P l i i ) r L o t u u g s h by his rejoicing, friends. THE DINNER. sow': hg t o e s c , a t‘i%sei Between three and four hundred of the electors dined together at the Geo rge t an, i n a room wh i ch is sa id to be the longe s t o f t h e ki nd i n England. Lor d Althorp presided. After the usual toasts, Sir NV. WAIVE rose to propose the health of Lord uFh cheering.) They had had so muc h speechifying of late that he was sure they mis t be •heartily sick of it ; and he therefore should not d e tain them with many words.--(Cheers.) He „ rave them the health of their long tried and highly valued representative, " Lord Althorp."—(Drank ups t anding: with three t i mes t h ree, an d " one c heer more.") Lord AurnoßP said, the last tima he had dined that room, it had been in the company of a much smaller number than usual. But he had not been disheartened at th at , f or h e was aware o f t h e caus e of it. He was aware that they thought, that instead of laying dim e too much to give them a c ontest for the county, he had done rather too to m uch p did.") avow, although h e did not care muc h a b out the opinions of his opp onents, yet h e did care a ' de al,,rabout t ood tiniee.o—(Cheers, and cries of " You pinions o f hi s f r i en d s; an d t o them he must put forward as an excuse for his dis inclination to 4 contest, the state of the poll. They would all admit_ indeed most of them had admitted —that if they had been beaten, the blow would have been a very great one, indeed; and knowing, as be did, the feelings of that county, he had been inclined to err on the side of prudence, if he erred it all. He would tell them, however, freely and fairly, that he heartily rejoiced that the contest had peen entered into.—(Loud cheers.) He was glad t hat the spirit of the freeholders had been greater than his spirit; he was glad that they had seen the result of this contest more clearly than he had seen it. The opinion pronounced by that county in favour of Reform was most decisive ; and most cheering and most pleasing was it to him to find his constituents so entirely concurring with his views upon that important subject. This would encourage him to persevere in that course which had won, and increased, and secured their confidence, their favour, and their approbation,—it would encourage him to redoubled exertions in defending and forwarding those principles, by which alone, he was persuaded, the happiness of this country would be permanently and effectually secured.—(Loud cheering.) Lord ALTIIOISP again rose for the purpose of proposing the health of one whom he had always been proud to call his friend, and whom he had th e additional pride and gratification of being able to call his colleague. He had to propose to them the health of " Lord Milton."—(Cheers,) Drank with three times three. Mr. WENTWORTH FITZWILLIAM (who had arrived during the dinner, and who was received in d tfianner more enthusiastic than it is possible for worth to describe) rose to return thanks in the behalf of his father. They had heard it raid by their opponents, that if this triumph were achieved, still they should not consider it as a very great one. He, however, took a very different estimate of the nature and the extent of the triumph which they were now met to celebrate. He did consider it as one of the very greatest triumphs that it was possible to gain, not because it was the triumph of persons who had or who had not solicited their suffrages, but because it was a triumph gained by principles 02at were rooted in their hearts, over powerful men who opposed, and thwarted, and spoke contemptuously of those principles.—(Cheers.) It was a triumph of free and independent yeomen over Tory des potism, and a Tory aristocracy,—it was a triumph of liberality over narrow-mindedness,—it was a triumph of freedom over usurpation,—it was a triumph of good sense and good feeling over bigotry and superstition.—(Loud cheering.) They had all heard the forces of their opponents magnified and arrayed in forMidable and almost insuperable strength, they had heard of the strength of the peerage, and of the great men of the county; but when► these gentlemen were calling over their muster-roll, they ought to have recollected that their opponents had on their side that which was sufficient to ensure victory at any time—the strength of the people.— (Loud cheering.) That, and that alone,—the strength of the people,—had conquered in this hard fought contest; the conquest had been achieved by the people up—not in arms, but, as had been said in another place, in all the panoply of reason. Lord ALTHORY said, that they had drank the health of the King, the Queen, and the Royal Family, and he now had to propose to them that they should drink " The People."—(Cheers.) One advantage had at least resulted to the Tory gentlemen of the county from this contest. It had introduced those gentlemen to the people.—(Cheers.) If there was any one thing which could prove more than another the total ignorance in which the Tory gentlemen were, with regard to the character of the people, it was, that a gentleman should publicly, and upon the hustings, have expresied his surprise that he had not been insulted or outraged in the course of a contested election.—(Cheers and laughter.) The toast was drank with three times three. Mr. C. HILL (of Wellingborough), in a neat and complimentary speech, proposed the health of their young friend, Mr. Wentworth Fitzwillium. Mr. WENTWORTH FITZWILLIAM returned thanks in a wry neat and appropriate speech. _ _ LordALTHORP said, that the next toast he had to propose applied directly to the cause in hand,—it was " A full, fair, and free representation of the people in Parliament."—(Tremendous cheering.)— The Constitution of this country was, or ought to be, composed of King, Lords, and Commons. Give to the King the prerogatives which were due to him, for those prerogatives were for the advantage of the people; give to the House of Lords the privileges that were due to them, for an hereditary aristocracy respected in the country was necessary for the se curity of our institutions, and essential to the steady march of our Government . ; but while we secured to the King his prerogatives, and while we secured to the House of Lords its privileges, let them not withhold from the people those privileges which of right and by the Constitution belonged to the people. —(Cheer-.)—Let not the representation of the people be controlled or interfered with; and let it never be said, for it was not true, that a full, free, and fair representation of the people was either dangerous to property, or to any of our institutions. The institutions of this country were as much valued and as highly respected by the peasant as by the peer; and while the humblest cottage in the land was as valuable to the owner of it as any noble man's mansion was to him, nothing could he appre hended to property from a fair representation of the people in Parliament; for no man, even the lowest, was so ignorant as not to know that there was no other way forhim to secure what little property he had, than by upholding the rights of property in others. At tempts, they well knew, had been made to defend the present system by saying that the power of the Commons was so great, that it was expedient to infuse into the lower House a confusion of Members, chosen by all kinds of different and conflicting modes, so as to unite there all interests. But what had been the effect of this upon the House of Com mons, and upon the Government el' the country ? Why, it had the effect of producing party, and fac tion, and selfish interests, where all men should be united for one interest, and for one interest only,— the interest of the public.—(Cheers.) Every man in that House now fought for himself, and not for his country. If they looked back upon the history of the House of Commons, they would find that for strength, years engt h, s past b ut thatthereheadvey h r ee l‘ n u n n o ist iV r l y i l i a s a try d of 2! intrinsic pended upon faction for support, and neeesearily so in the present constitution of the House. The ob ject of Ministers had been to unite two or three factions, and to enlist them under the bannees of Government s and thus Ministers had brought for, weed measures which they thought would effect thet object, not caring whether those measures were for the good of the country oe not. This evil could only be cured by giving to the people,—who had no selfish or peivate views, who had and could have no object but the general good,—that which by the theory of the law they were supposed to have, but had not, in practice,----the realaud efficient controul of their own representation. The measure which he and his colleagues had proposed would effect this. --,--(Cheers.) Some might think that this measure did riot go far enough, and others might think it went too far. With regard to the letter,—to those who said that the measure went too far,—they were persons who in their hearts did not wish for any Reform at all—(Cheers)—they were persons who wished to stave off the evil day, as they thought it, when corruption should h 3 at end, and when the constitutional power of the House of CommQus should enforce those measures in which they beheld the destruction of a system which they were too much interested in to part with easily.—(Cheers.) Some there were, who, before this measure was in troduced, were inclined to have gone farther, but who had now readily given their assent to this mea ;are, and received it with satisfadon. He had ilways been a •Reformer, and •that to a very great ~.xtent ; and although he had been aware, as they mmt i,e if they had consulted the debates upon eferm, that the Reformers differed among th em _ elves, yet he hail always entertained the opinion and the expectation that, whenever any reasonable aroposition of Reform should be brought forward, all the real Reformers would uniteim support of it. He had always been satisfied of this, though he cer tainly had not given them credit for that degree of occspectacle that a excellent conduct which they had displayed upon this differences and ot a ll s ,e. i :p n oe .fodl p t ilffe N — a e • l a . e s 7 i e n eo d sT e l g e es d xt %,,,, i t, n }: a do g n(i m j i nm fi c at e ni i: yi t s sh great question —should, when a measure was brought forward which they t bought was reasonable and satisfactory gene rrile, though it might not neet the particular views of any individual or party.—it was a magnificent spectacle he said, that a whole people should come forward, and, laying aside individual anal peculiar , cottons and prejudices, unite heart and hand in sup port of such a measure. This was a proof that tl e people would ever unite and co•operate in support of the welfare of the country; but it was a prcuf which the depressors and the depreciators of the people had seldom before allowed them to display. A. spectacle more magnificent than this it was im possible to imagine; he should ever be proud of having been one of the Ministers who had enabled the country to display it—(Cheers)—and now that they had a House of Commons which was really the representative body of the people, he trusted that there would be no difficulty in carrying this great measure into effect.—(Cheers.) The measure was a great, and necessarily a complicated measure, and it was not surprising if many difficillties had occurred in the details, t was not surprising if some anomalies had been pointed out in it. But.he would ask of those who talked so triumphantly of anomalies in this Bill s ito compare those anomalies with the ano malies of the present system, and tell him whether chose of the new system were either as numerous or as prejudicial as those of the old. This was da; my fair mode of r easoning w i t h regar d to this mtatriy-.- They were not ta-expect perfection in a political mea sure, for perfection was inconsistent with humanity. They hail, however, been as moderate as possible in the change they had effected, and it was, perhaps, in consequence of the moderation and care they had exercised that some anomalies remained which ought to have been removed. But they had been of opi nion that the less change they male tl c better, pro vided only that this great end, a free and fair repre sentation of the people, was obtained. " Upon one thing," continued the Noble Lord, " you may de pend. You may depend upon it that the main prin ciples of this measure are what we are determined to stand by.—(Loud cheering.) We brought it for ward after due consideration :—after clue considera tion do I say ? After the consideration of our whole lives, for the principles of this measure are the prin ciples which we have entertained, which we have supported, which we have contended for, and which we have defended, during the whole of our lives.— (Cheem s,) Having thus brought it forward, we have been supported in it by the whole country, and it would surely be absurd indeed to suppose that, so supported, we should now turn round and abandon principles which, without any support at all, we have throughout our lives always advocated and defended.—(Cheers.) No ; we have now a majority in our favour, and shall we not use that majority for the purpose of effecting an object which it has been time aim of our political exertions throughout our whole lives to carry ?"—(Cheers.) " A full, free, and fair representation of the People," was then drunk, with three times three. Lord ALTHORP proposed severally the health; of Sir William Wake, of Mr. Bouverie, and of Mr. Dundas, of Mr. C. Hill, and of Mr. Lucas, who returned thanks. Mr. C. HILL proposed the health of his Ma jesty's Ministers.—Drank with three times three. Lord ALTHORP returned thanks on the part of his colleagues. After taking a rapid review of the measures of the Government, the Noble Lord con cluded by proposing the health of " Sir G.

Would a relatives and families for %i'hole generations upon the earnings of the people—would such a faction withstand the King, the Government, and the people ? It had been said that the old system worked well, and so it did, but how ? It worked well for those who would do no work for them selves—(Cheers and laughter)—for an indolent set, who would live upon the work of others—for that long list of titled and pensioned ladies and gentle men, whose sinecurist names were published by the late House of Commons, and which no doubt they had all read.—(" Oh yes, God help us," and laughter.)—Thanks to the King and to the Govern ment those things would be all done away with. Those eourt-flies who had sucked the blood of the covintry so long would be swept away—those glitter ing vermin which infested corrupt courts, and were pampered and fostered there, would be destroyed. Ile begged to call to their recollection one fact in illus tration of the conduct of the present Ministry. Was the Duke of Wellington afraid to humble Don Miguel ? No. The Duke was not afraid,—but then he did not do it, whereas the present Government had.—(Cheers.) The present Government had called Don Miguel to account,—made him give re paration to injured British subjects, and apologize 1 for the insults he had offered to the British fiag.—. (Cheers.) The Duke of Wellington was not afraid to do all this; but then he, in his wisdom, thought it better to support a tyrant than to correct him, and was more willing that the British flag should be in sulted than that a gentleman of hikli connexions like Don Miguel should be brought to account.—(Cheers and laughter.) Under the Duke's administration the Earl of Aberdeen, too, was Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and that Noble Lord, it was well known, had been the pupil and friend of Metternich. It was equally well known that Lord Aberdeen resembled his master Metternich in every thing but his abilities. —(Laughter.) He hoped that our home, as well as our foreign polities, would be conducted very dif ferently for the time to come. For a century past we had never taken up arms except against the liberties of the people ; but he trusted they should ❑ever arm in such unjust quarrels again.—(Cheers.) Lord ALTHORP then proposed the health of Mr. Vernon Smith, whom he hoped he might call the colleague of Sir George Robinson, for there was no doubt that the scrutiny would terminate in Mr. Smith's favour. Mr. VERNON SAIITII returned thanks in a very spirited and eloquent speech, which was received with great applause ; and he concluded by proposing " The health of the electors of the town of North ampton." Mr. WHITWORTH returned thanks. Lord ALTHORP proposed" The health of Mr. D. gentleman from whose professional advice and assistance he had derived very great advantagei in this contest.—(Drank with three times three.) Mr. D. HILL returned thanks in a speech so re plete with eloquence, as to justify even the tre mendous shouts of applause with which it was re ceived. The healths of Mr. Lefevre and Mr. William Shaw were also drank, on the proposition of Lord ALTHORP, who expressed his obligations to them as Counsel for him during the election, in a very hand some and flattering manner. Mr. LEFEVRE and Mr. F;HAW returned thanks.
