M. WALLER CLIFTON. TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREE HOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF BEDFORD. GENTLEMEN, MR. STUART having announced his in tention of not proceeding to the Poll on Monday Morning, I lose not a moment in returning you my most fervent thanks for the proud situation in which you have placed me. I should feel overwhelmed in contemplating the weighty responsibility which I incur, did I not know that you have gained in the cause a thousand times more than you can possibly lose in the Representative. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and obedient humble servant, Bedford, Saturday Night, May 7. PETER 1 3 , AYNE. TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF BEDFORD. GENTLEMEN, 1 N the political struggle which has just been terminated, by the resignation of Mr. Stuart, you joired my name with Sir Peter Payne's, for the avowed object of sending to Parliament two Representatives, pledged to maintain the essential principles of the Reform Bill. The contest was •entirely your own—you entered upon • it with firmness—you conducted it with courage—and ' you carried it through, in a spirit of temper and modera tion, unexampled in the history of Bedfordshire contested Elections. To you, therefore, belong all the honour, and all the glory of the triumph you have achieved. I canvassed no votes—l provided no conveyance—l em ployed no professional Counsel—you formed a Committee to direct all legal and necessary expenses—you came spon taneously to the poll, and recorded your names among the assertors of British freedom. After this, can it again be said that the people are unfit to choose their own Representatives? For my own part, I am at a loss to find words suffi ciently strong to convey to you the admiration with which your conduct has inspired me, or the gratification I derive, personally, from having been again, and under such cir cumstances, the object of your choice. I thank you for your continued confidence ; and I re main, with the warmest feelings of respect and attachment, Your faithful friend and servant, TA VISTOCK. Oakley, Saturday Night, May 7. TO THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT BURGESSES OF TRURO. GENTLEMEN, ACCEPT our most cordial acknowledg ments for your attendance in overwhelming numbers • on our b e half, at the poll of yesterday :—those numbers, Comprising householders engaged and interested in the trade of Truro, and constituting a most valuable class of active. substantial, and legal legal electors of the Borough, were rejected under obvious dictation, its favour of ten in dividuals, several of whom neither reside within the Borough, nor contribute to its burthens. This is the last act, it is to be hoped, of that flagitious and corrupt system, which has been the scourge of this once happy country; the revenues of which have been plundered, its energies repressed, its liberties abridged, and the Sovereign himself insulted on his throne, by the dai ing turbuli.nce and audacious pretensions of noble and ignoble Boroughmongers, seeking to perpetuate for their own sordid purposes, an infamous traffic, in what should constitute a Briton's proudest privilege, the right of choos• ing his own representative. . The many flagrant irregularities attending this election, will impose on us the necessity of appealing to Parliament for redress; unless, by the succe•sful result of the recent elections wherever the voice of a united people could avail, that appeal shall be superseded by the passing into a salu tary law of Reform, the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. We remain with unfeigned sentiments of gratitude and attachment to yourselves, and of devotion to our common Cause, Gentlemen, Your faithful and sincere Friends and Servants, . .

IN the morning of Life, when the blandish ments of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil more to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the vortex of deceptive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against the laws of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful exaction for his rebellion in the compromise of his mental as well as bodily powers. To all persons so circumstanced as to require the professional aid of men of experience, whose time has been for twenty years studiously and suc cessfully devoted to the complaints arising from nervous debility, whether natural or acquired, GOSS and CO. proffer the most consolatory assurances. The youth who has enervated his frame by the strangely fascinating sin, which the poor victim of folly will too readily comprehend without further description, may find relief from his misery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost place in the scale of creation. The sufferer who, frora another extreme of in dulgence, has with unbashful forehead, wooed debility, may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused con stitution. The man of pleasure exposed to and suffering from Lues Venerea, however aggravated by malpractice of the quack, or the concealment from diffidence, may find a certain restoration ; and finally in cases where the delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to despair, they offer to the married female those hopes which she can reasonably appreciate.

Holdsworth and Ball, IS, St. Paul's Church-yard. GENERAL ELECTION. TRURO. The election for this borough having been fixed for Tuesday, 3d May, Mr. H. WO;yams and Mr W. Tooke, the popular candidate., entered the town on Monday, and were received at the entrance :if it by an immense concourse of people who dress their carriage into Truro, preceded by a large arid excaent band of music, accompanied by appro priate banners, and cheered by the bright influence of the ladies, smiling encouragement from every window. Rumours had prevailed that the members of the Corporation intended to execute the work a4siuned them with closed doors, but whatever might have been their intention, the number and firm aspect of the people inspired wiser coon-els, and at eleven the doors were opened with an appalling rush. The hall was instantly crowded to suffocation, and room with ddlicuby obtained for the candidates, consisting of Mr. Tooke arid Mr. Willyams on the one side of the Mayor, and Lord Encomhe, one of the nomi nees of the Patron, on the other ; Mr. Peach being ab•ent on account of the severe indisposition of a near relative. As soon as the Court was opened, Mr. Bennal lack, one of the capital burgesses, moved an ad journment to the Green, or some other equally con venient place for holding the election, instead of re maining in the close and inconvenient room in which they were then crammed. This was demanded and seconded with universal acclamation by the entire assembly, with the exception of a few in a corner of it, under whose influence, however, the Mayor de clined the proposition, thus evincing at this first stage of the proceedings his steady adherence to the orders received from the commanding officer at the castle. Proclamation being made, Mr. Daubuz nominated Lord Encombe. Mr. Bennallack then proposed Mr. W. Tooke, which was seconded by Mr. Bas tian. Mr. Edwards, in naming Mr. Peach, adverted to the cause of his absence, after which Mr. Ben nallack, seconded by Mr. Reynolds, proposed 111 r. Humphry Willyams. The show of bands being taken on each name, nine or ten only were held.up in favour of Lord En combe and Mr. Peach, and every other hand throughout the hall was held up for Mr. Tooke and Mr. Willyams. Notwithstanding this enormous disproportion, the Mayor applying his manifold•multiplying glass to the hole and corner in queition, declared the greater number of hands to be in favour of Lord Encombe and Mr. Peach, and was about to pronounce them as duly elec:ed, when a' poll was demanded by Mr. Tooke, which, after every endeavour was resorted to with a view to evade and elude the demand, was ultimately conceded, and after much animated dis,- cussion, the taking of such poll was adjourned until the next morning at ten o'clock. The candidates then in succession addressed the meeting. Lord ENCOMBE expressed his grateful sense of the honour conferred on him by the eight or Dine gentlemen in the corner, and stated his disposition to serve the interests of Truro, and which he had evinced by his endeavour to procure for it two Members instead of the one to which it had been reduced by one of the infamous schedules of the Bill ; he then alleged that he voted for General Gascoyne's motion, as seeking to obviate the dis proportion between the representation of England as compared with Ireland, his Lordship having been credibly informed that Mr D. O'Connell would re turn 23 Members for Ireland; this would lead, he thought, to a repeal of the Union, which he anti cipated from a speech of Earl Grey, intimatin g some plan in contemplation of arrangement of the Irish Church, t he disunion of which from the Church of England would necessarily involve a repeal of the Union. Mr. TOOKE, after making some prefatory observa tions in vindication of himself from some false and invidious imputations which had been industriously circulated to his prejudice, by a very few interested individuals, proceeded to address the meeting on the great and important object for which it had been convened. He stated that they were now assembled under happier auspices than when they met for the same purpose in August last. Then it was the effort of an individual borough contendinc,fagainst a system sanctioned by an administration hostile to the best and dearest interests of the people,now, much owing to the example Truro, had set, they were awing simultaneously with every borough in the kingdom, and encouraged in their legitimate object by the paternal government of the best of Kings, as advised by the wisest and honeatest Ministers with which this country had ever been blessed. They with the sanction of the crown had proposed the Bill Mr. Tooke held in his hand, which when passed would constitute the second Magna Charts of the empire, it was safe and temperate in its principles and simple in its details, it had conciliated the un qualified approval of the whole people of Eng land with the single exception of a factious band of oligarchic boroughmongers who were prepared to sacrifice the welfare of the kingdoms to their selfish interests, and had clubbed together an enor mous sum by way of benefit fund to indemnify one another for their unhallowed gains. Lord Encombe, in alluding to his vote on General Gascoyne's mo tion, had omitted to add that he bad also voted in the notorious minority of three hundred in opposi• tion to the principle of the Bill, his Lordship's ap prehension of the probable influence of Mr. O'Con neil were as futile and unfounded as his Lordship's suggestion that any refcrat of the Church of Ire land, or even its ceasing to be the dominant esta blishment, would necessarily involve a repeal of the Union, and respecting which it surely must have escaped his Lordship's recollection that the different doctrine, discipline, and revenue of the churches of England and Scotland, had not interfered with the existence and benefits derived from the union be tween the countries. Mr. Tooke then stated his having redeemed his pledge of petitioning on the former occasion ; that petition had failed only by the casting vote of the Chairman, and the failure could excite but little surprise when it was considered that five of the members of that Committee were inte rested parties by sitting for rotten boroughs, every one of which, by a singular coincidence, was pro posed to be abolished by one of the schedules which Lord Encombe, with more zeal than judgment, had stigmatized as infamous. Mr. Tooke accounted for not having proceeded on that part of the petition tonot t n o o seat wisht t h o e have petitioners, anted which appli e d to the misconduct of the Mayor, the effect of whi c h would have been only to avoid the election ! against the ex-May or , w h ose private character h e highly respected, .by caus i ng him to be•comm i tte d v i i n nd addition ictivly e which and he o • . 4‘,, -, 7 ,- •. - • .„-- -- _ , 4": k: \k • Oi l : ,-.4.P. r 41; , /..'- ..A „y '":.--7.!

EVENING, MAY 11, 1831. o Newgate, to which prison one-half of the Mem ,ers of the late House of Commons might with -, tich more justice have been consigned. We can lot follow Mr. Tooke through an elaborate recapi illation of the advantages of the proposed. Bill of Iteform and of the brilliant era of peace and plenty, if civil and religious immunities, of entire abolition if slavery and of an improving progress of legi •lation in correspondence with the improved and mproving progress of the intellectual energies of he people, which a reformed House of Commons would at once elicit , prcimukate, and secure. On Wednesday the polling commenced, when to , ave:time the popular candidates were content to troll only twenty-four select burgesses, being the oersons and number designated by the last detee -nitration of 1689, and who, undekdhe advice of Serjeant Merewether, had previous to the dee., H on tendered themselves to the Mayor, as willing ond desirous of being admitted sworn members of he Corporation. All these votes were rejected by the Mayor, who allowed the ten given in favour of Lord Encombe . and Mr. Peach, and Mr. Benallack'!: vote in favour of Mv. Tooke and Mr. Willyams, and therefore the Mayor declared Lord Eneornbe and Mr. Peach duly elected, agaiest which Mr: Berd lack energetically protested, and called upon the se lect burgesses to exercise their undoubted right of executing an indenture of return, which was imme diately effected; and although the Mayor, on its he'ng tendered to him, declined to add his s'gnature, it was completed and despatched to the Sheriff, who, it is expected, will annex it to the precept, and trinsmit it by way of double return to the Crown-office. The proceedings now closed with a protest on the part of Mr. Tooke against the validity of the election on the grounds— ]. That to constitute a valid corporate act, thirteen capital burgesses ought to have voted on the occ 2. That of the ten who voted, four were altogether non-residents. 3. That the Assessor had admitted himself to be the confidential solicitor and agent of Lord Falmouth, the ac knowledged patron of the borough, and who thus, by such agent, must be considered as having interfered in this election in contravention of the Standing Resolution of the House of Commons against so gross an outrage on its privileges. On ✓ the close of the poll 11r. Willyams addressed the meeting. "So (said he) ends the first deal of the second rubber. They mark honours, but we have the cards, aye, and will play them too—that is, after our adversaries have shuffled again ; then you know they must cut—and run too--and after that we will have a round game."—(Roars of laughter, in ►vhich even the risible faculties of the Mayor and Corporation were excited.)

W.th respect to the oi lier epi thets which had . been bestowed upon the Bill, he cast them back upon the authors of them, who had far better claims to them. The people were not robbers, for they only claimed theiterights which had been taken away from them, and it was they who resisted such claims, and not the people, who were the robbers. If he should that day teceive at their hands the honour of being entrusted with the keep 4ug of their rights and liberties,—they might be as sitred he would ever be found faithful to their trust- So long as the present Ministry strengthened and supported the rights and the liberties of the people, they should have his support, but no longer. The *Ware of the people should be the point to *bleb all his exertions should be direced ; that should be the chief, his sin g l e p ur p ose . (U pon t h e 'conclu sion of this speech, the meeting gave three cheers for Throe kmorton.) Mr. HALLET then addressed the meeting. He would not then go into the subject or Reform, be cause his op.nions upon it were well known to them. The fact was, that the present system was a corrupt one,—a system which supported placemen and pen sioners,--which procured places for inefficient people, and which made the people pay for all. But the present Reform was said to be a sweeping one ; and so it was, and that was the advantage of it Those gentlemen who objected to it, however, were for a moderate sweeping. Pray how would they like to have their chimney only moderately swept by a'Constitutional sweep who did not wish to revolutionize ? or how would their ladies look if Molly, the housemaid, only cleaned the room mode rately, and tried to excuse herself by saying that she was as moderate in her cleaning as her master was in his Reform ?—(Laughter.) He was told that a Berkshire gentleman, whom they all knew (Mr. Pusey), going along the road the other day, met a simple yeoman ; to whom he said—" Well, my friend, what do you think of Reform ?"—" Why, Sir," said the man, " I don't rightly know, but every body speaks well of it, and so I suppose it must be right." " Well," said Mr. Pusey, "lam a Re former, but I am a moderate Reformer. If your teeth were rotten, still you would not like to have them all pulled out, would you ?" " Yes, dang it, Sir, but I should," said the man, " tor if they be rotten, no good could come of them, and the sooner they were alt got rid of the better." Now he thought that Mr. Pusey got tolerably well answered. It was in vain to try and deceive the people by calling this a revolutionary measure. The simplest person would see that men like Lord Grey,- Lord Holland, the Duke of Norfolk, and many others who had estates to lose, would not be such idiots as to support a measure that would lead to revolution, and make a general scramble. The measure was no revolution, it was no new Constitution, unless any one could show that the Constitution was " King, Lords, and Boroughmongers," and not" King, Lords and Com mons." Then it was said that the measure would affect the church ; but this was the greatest absurri y of all. It did nothing against the church, and he wished that he could say as much for the church.— (Hear, hear.) They generally found that the curate was more respected than the rector—and why ? It was because the rector, while he preached on a Sun day, was squabbling all the week about tithe pigs. Some of the clergy, too, were paid a great deal for doing nothing, while others were paid very little for doing a great deal. He should like to see the duties and pay more proportionate. A show of hands was now called for, when all were held up in favour of Mr. Dundas and Mr. Throckmorton, and the High Sheriff declared those gentlemen to be duly elected to serve for the county of Berks in the next Parliament. The new Members severally returned thanks. Mr. HALLET proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. Cirried by acclamation. The HIGH SHERIFF returned thanks. Mr. DUNDAS begged to say one word more. By this election, they would have enabled him to give the third of a series of votes which he considered the glory of his life. The first was, for the repea) of the Test Act, the second for Catholic Emancipation, arid the third would be a successful vote for Reform.— (Cheers.) Would they now o . lige him farther, by giving three cheers for his Majesty, and three cheers for the ladies in the jury-box ? The meeting complied with this request very heartily, and added three other cheers for Reform, and three for his Majesty's Ministers. Dr. BOWLES proposed that the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Hallet, for his handsome conduct in retiring from the contest.—Carried with three cheers. Mr. HALLET returned thanks. A Freeholder suggested that they had forgotten one of their oldest and best friends,—he meant Mr. Monck, and begged to propose three cheers for Mr. Monck. Mr. MONCK (who was received with the most en thusiastic cheerng) was obliged to them, and thanked them for this compliment. The new Members were then subjected to the other ceremonies usual on such occasions, and were chaired amidst the loud and exulting plaudits of the electors. It is impossible to convey any notion of the una nimity and the joyous enthusiasm which prevailed at this elrction. Immediately after the dialling of the Members was over, many of the electors set off to vote for the Reform candidates who are contesting the neighbour ing county of Oxford. CHELMSFORD, MAY 10.—The polling has not been carried on to-ddy with the same briskness that it has been on the preceding days of the contest. Mr. LENNARD, on the part of Mr. Western, who, on account of a slight indisposition, was not able to attend, proceeded to address the freeholders, and to thank them for the exertions which they continued to make for his Hon. Friend and in behalf of the great cause of Reform with which Mr. Western was identified. He had to congratulate them on the triumph which they were about to gain for that cause in this county. They were engaged in a cause which was not only the cause, of freedom, but of virtue and good morals.—(A laugh from some of Tyrell's supporters.) He was not surprised at that laugh. It was the expiring wail of the borough mongers.7(Cheers.).. _ _ Colonel TYRELL aid not at all feel disheartened by the events of the last two days. lie maintained that up to the present moment it was a drawn battle, and there yet remained 2,500 freeholders unpolled. Now they had been told yesterday, that the clergy in a body had come forward to support him (Colonel Tyrell). Not one-fifth of them had as yet polled; and as he was to have them all, a great deal was yet to be done, and in fact they were now only com mencing the contest. Sir F. AGAR said the election was already gained; the cause was secure; but nevertheless let them not relax in their efforts until the enemy was driven from t he field.—(Applause.) Mr. LENNARD was far from rejecting the title of Radical Reformer; but: he: rejects' it as defined by rye gallant Colonel. He was a. Radical Reformer, because he was for the -Bill, ani the who!e Bill. After a brief address from Mr. Disney in favour of Reform, and a few words of explanation from Colonel Tyrell, the Court was adjourned till ten o'clock to morraw (this) morning. MIDDLESEX. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex opened the proceedings, at ten o'clock, in the usual form. Mr. Serjeant PELL hoped the meeting would allow him to say a few work on the present state of flings in this country. This was the proudest period that England had ever known. The moment had arrived, when a measure was about to be achieved, of which, from his earliest infamy, he had been in some form or other a most strenuous advocate. As a boy he had sense enough to perceive that there was sornethieg wrong, though lie could not tell precisely whence it arose, or the particular direction which it took. From the time of his becoming a man down to the accession of his present Majesty, he had seen going on day after day, year after year, Parliament after Parliament, such a sy s tem o f delusion, 'that if the measure, which he believe& was now about to be carried, Should by any unforeseen event fail of succeis, he knew what would .happen to his country, because, although Englishmen could beer a great deal, there was a point beyond which endurance was no longer a virtue.—(Applause ) By whom was the measure to be opposed ? tie blushed ler the character of some of his countrymen, when he per ceivel that the measure bad been opposed, and would still be opposed, were it not fur the firmness of the people, by as foul, corrup-, and sordid a body—he meant the boroughmortgers—as ever crime bet een the spirit of the Constitution and the -happiness of the people.—( Applause.) Who were these people ? They appeared to him to be a sort of political mules. They had all the obstinacy of the ass, with out the dignity of the horse.—(Laughter.) They might be known by their eats, by their impertinence, and their stubbornness; and as long as they had a hoof they would kick, unless the people stood up against them as they did at the present moment. The result of the late Cambridge election proved that a certain set of men were opposed to Reform; and whom he could have wished to have been a little more quiet in days I:ke these. He should ill discharge his duty if he took advantage of the pre sent occasion to say any thing offensive or malig nant of them ; but at the same time he should h ive been better pleased if they had kept themselves little more in the background. There was a third set of men, whom lie thought he had a right to allude to on the present occasion, and lie would do so fearlessly—he meant certain persons in the legal department, who, in his judgment, nether under stood the Constitution nor acted according to its letter. He really could not look upon what had been said or done by these individuals—some doubt less for what they conceived to be the good of the country, but others from a desire to return to place, without feelings - of the deepest regret. These indi viduals seemed to have forgotten that in this country the Constitution rested on the full arid free repre sentation of the people, and that without the people these lawyers would have been nothing. There was one splendid exception to the coedit& of most of the individuals to whom he had alltidedi-- lie meant Lord Chancellor Brougham. He had always kept faith with the people. He was doing so now by the exertion of his mighty genius. A man more illustrious for his intellectual powers never walked into the House of Commons or the House of Lords. If it were possible for him to stand higher than he did, on account of his beet., lectual acquirements, it was because he was the friend of the people, and the people loved him. By whom was the great measure of Reform supported ? In the first place, it was supported by that mighty engine in:a free country—a free Press. Some people complained of the Press; one of those persons was a man of high rank in this country, and formerly a lawyer. He never heard that individual declare that he was a friend of the Press, without his immedi ately after proving himself to be its direct enemy. The measure of Reform was supported by a still higher power—public opinion. From one end of the kingdom to the other public opinion had de clared in favour of ‘• the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill."—(Applause.) Public opi nion;eyprea‘rvnfeidsc)dtoiohninasd,tshoaaninde experience. The thatp o r f e present e h nhev he knew Frenchfsafest w guidesperhaps,vie ambassador . r e rwith to anla fi la r i Ind its ` lom' of more could be found in any minister that ever yet had lived, or ever would live, and that was in public opinion.—(Applause.) The great mass of the po pulation, boys, women, and men, were embattled with the Reformers in order to bring to a succesful issue the contest which had been so long going on. On the side of the Reformers were ranged members of the houses of Cavendish and Russell, whoseancient ancestry was the admitation of every Englishman who loved his country. They had bled for their country on the scaffold, and fought - for it on the field. Their descendants at the present moment were fighting under the same banners, and daring the same results.—(Applause.)—The reformers bad also the King on their side. What a monarch he was ! He was bred a sailor, and he displayed all the characteristic spirit of that class of men who, he might say, formed the bulwark of England:— (Applause.)—He had pursued a straightforward course, perfectly regardless of those woo assailed him on the right or on the left. slaving made -up his mind to support the measure, he was determined to do so. When his Majesty dissolved the Melia merit, three weeks ago, he displayed an instance of firmness greater than could be found in the annals of England. He was assailed when he entered the House of Lords with personal rudeness, by many of those who had been raised to their present rank by his father or brother.—(Applause)—There never was such a scene exhibited as that which oc curred when his Majesty dissolved the Parliament. This disgraceful conduct, too, was exhibited by men who would spurn him off the footpath if they met him. Whether the offensive and disloyal conduct exhibited by these individuals arose from disap pointed or excited passions he knew not, but it certainly, for a moment, obliterated the better feel ings of their heads and hearts, or they would have remembered that Peers should be gentlemen. '1 he electors of Great Britain were now about to form a new Parliament, that would soon be succeeded by a reformed Parliament, in which the people would be fairly represented, for the rights of the people was the leading principle which was to be found in every page of the great measure. What was to be expected after this great measure should be carried into full effect ? He would de tain the meeting but a short time while he stated what he hoped, and what he believed would take place. At his time of life, it was not very likely that lie should ever find himself upon the floor of the House of Commons ; but if he should, as long as lie had a head to understand, or a tongue to give utterance:to the sentiments of his heart, he would never lose sight of three or four great points. In the first place, he would endeavour to abolish the odious and revolting system existing ia some parts of the British dominions—he hated slavery in every form. When he saw that the men who opposed the free dom of our brethren of a different colour in the co lonies were also the opponents of the measure of Reform, he could not help concluding that they were the haters of freedom every where—and why? Because freedom was like lightning ; if it touched one place, it would another—(Applause) trusted that he was as great a friend to private pro perty as any man ; he had a little himself, and he would endeavour to preserve it for his children. He had obtained it by honest industry, and he never yet had known what it was to put his hand in the public purse.—(Applause.) He could not, bogy' ever, approve of the punishments which attached to particular offences in this country.. think it right that our laws et.'4 l i t t er i t' Ee t' a ni , :is p e'i rc i: .!

The election of two Members - to serve in Parlia ment for the county of Berks, took place at Abing don this day. The new candidate, Mr. Throckmorton, was met at Shipponfield, and escorted by a numerous caval cade to the Shire-hall, which was crammed in every part. The Jury-box was filled with ladies, among whom the principal was Mrs. Dundas, Mrs. Throckmorton, and Mrs. Er ton, the lady of the High Sheriff. Upon entering the Jury-box Mrs. Throckmorton was hailed with loud and en thusiastic cheering and waving of hats from all parts of the hall. The proceedings having been opened in the usual manlier by the reading of the writ, the Bribery Act, &c. &c., The limn SHERIFF addressed the meeting, after which, . General G Pootram rose for the purpose of pro posing to them a proper person to serve in Parlia ment for the county of Berke. He should do so without preface, because he was sure no preface would be necessary when he pronounced to them the name of their late patriotic Member, Mr. Charles Dundas.—(Cheers.) He would not detain them by speaking of the beneficial effects which would' result from the Reform Bill; the public voice had been heard sufficiently upon the subject, and from every part of the country that measure had beers hailed as a blessing.—(Cheers.) It would de stroy those manifold evils which had been complained of so long, and reader them mere matters of history. The Gallant General concluded by proposing Mr. Dundas. Mr. BLANDY seconded the proposition. Mr. DUNDAS said a good deal of mystery had been thrown upon the Mini , terial plan of Reform by those who were opposed to it. But take these opponents, from the highest to the lowest of them, they all had a reason or motive for this unnecess a ry and not very fair proceeding. Did they suppose' the Duke of Northumberland and other great borough proprietOrs, who might send a horse to Parliament if they liked, would part with this p ower if they could help it ? Then there was Sir Robert Peel, who talked about the injustice of disfranchis ing untried boroughs; but had not Sir Robert Peel disfranchised thousands of Irish electors without a , king them a single question ?—(Cheers.) There was no mystery in the Bill ; every body could under. stand it. The object of the Bill was threefold—it Berkshire, the county in which prevented nomination; it disfranchised rotten held his Royal seat—(l.oud boroughs; and it diminished the expenses of elections. eheering)—no longer returned a single advocate of ancient arid long-creeping abuses.—(Cheers.) Berk shire had caught the glorious example of the metro polis and the metropolitan county, and had returned this way foreign from the object which ro the new Parliament none but Reformers.— tber oto tog t e h t a h t er o a f t R th e i f s or t n im i ; e. the A ir ll h o o t p h e e s t: (Cheers.)
