Among the Reformers whom Sir Walter Scott lo nours with the title of children, and who, he says, have got a watch in their hands, which, in sheer ignorance, they are breaking to pieces, are to be found the green understand ings of the Duke of Sussex, Lord Grey, Lord Holland, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Plunkett, Lord Aithorp, the Lord Advocate, and others of his Maj-sty's Ministry and Privy Council ; and tt.e.e unripe infants are encouraged in their • sport by the innocent and rosy-checked companionship of Messrs. Bentham. Bayley, Tooke. Mill, Mimilly, Norman, Grote, sundry Smith., Joneses, Thompsons, Evanses, and Napiers, be , ide,i the editors of the best newspapets, ' and of almost all the periodical-. On the other hand, let us see who are to be found among Sir Walter's men.—among those masculine under standings which are distinguished by their opposition to these childish ones,—beines of a gigantic re :eh of intellect, and who impress everybody with a profound sense of it. There is Sir Charles Wttherell and Sergeant Best, and the Duke of Newcastle, and the Duke of Wellington (the " mad 'Minister," as he prs dieted himself), and Lord Lon d 'nderry (a gentleman who does not even know what a nurse is, so long has he outlived the sallies of his child hood), and Mr. Perceval (who proposes that hungry men should fast), and Mr. Goulhurn, and Mr. Bankes, and Sir Robert Inglis, and Mr. Alderman Atkins, and Sir James Scarlett (the happiest of calculators), and Mr. Attwood, and Mr. Sumner (who throws ink-stands), and my Lord Rolle the grammarian, and the experienced Mr. Praed, and candid Peel, and comfortable Sugden, and the esti mable solidity of John Wilson Croker, and the profound Duke of Gloucester, and the perfect Duke of Cumberland. If a Roman Senate ever beat these we will be hanged. A single Sir Charles Wetherell would have sufficed to make the Gaul retreat. There is no puerility here, no childishness either of feeling or understanding, no takers of virtue for granted, or believers even in such a thing as change; no breakers of watches out of ignorance, or of heads, or even of Priscian's head. They have all arrived at man's estate, some of them at a great !rimy other men's estates ; and their faculties are in such perfection, that nothing can stand before them. Sir Charles Wetherell carries it hollow in the Lower House, By plain heroic magnitude of mind," and in the Upper, the Lord Chancellor, though allowed to be a precocious young gentleman, has nothing to say for . . himself. Best, Londvnderrv, and Wellington, all make f• hint feel his insi3niticance. Ile is the little boy, and they the great men. All this is clear as " the sun at noon-day." The child hood of the Reformers we allow, and their incompetence to be watchmen ; but still there is one thing in Sir Walter's simile which puzzles us. kis accuses these children of spoiling the watch, by putting the regulator " backwards and forwards." Now their putting it forwards may be conceded but how have they attempted to put it back wards? We fear it is the unaccountable elders that have been doing this, and that the sole movements which coo atitute the dangerous part of the counteraction are theirs. The Reformers are simply for putting the regulator t)11. War d, because time has advanced ; it is the Anti-Re formers who arc for putting it backward; arguing, with i nconceivable strangeness, that no true hands of a watch are intended to advance with time, but always to remain at one hour; if at the hour of midnight so much the better. Our fathers slept happily at that hour, argues Sir Walter, and therefore why should we ever wake ? It is a very Fretty " witching time of night ;" and, for my part, sleep as warm as can be. What signifies how they sleep in Ireland, or in Kent or Sussex ; or in brick kilns, or at s trret-doors, or on London-bridge, or without a supper, or after the deaths of three children ? It is very well with Clerks of Session, I assure you ; and being well with them, i t must be well with every body. If a Clerk of Sessio n is Well fed, it shows that the people are all happy In Gloucestershire. It is stated that 'Whitehall chapel will not be ° Pfned for divine service for a year and a half to come; the repairs on the beautiful exterior of the building are nearly completed, tile rear of the edifice presenting a simi hr appearance in architectural embeLishment to the facade.

' ought to be calmly discussed.—(Cries of " Off, off," and touch clamour.) He would brg them not to trust the men who had deceived them twice already, and who it was probable would deceive them on the present question, which was of such great importance to the country. The CHAIRMAN was about to put the amendment, when Mr. SANDFORD rose to reply. It had been objected that the name of the King had been improperly used ; the time was when a different feeling from that which happily existed in the present day pervaded the public mind with regard to the Sovereign of these realms ; the Refortneri, were then called Jacobins and Radicals; and now, when they supported the Kin!, they were called revolutionists. With respect to the debt, they had to thank the oligarchy, who had placed it like a mill-stone round their necks. lint he hoped the people would soon have their guardians in the House.—(Loud cheers.) Then there would be no more jobbin,g, no more useless places. Mr. HUNT came firward to address the meeting ; but the Chairman suggested the propriety of first putting the amendment and resolution. On a show of hands, there appeared for tie former only seven. Mr. CRESSWELL at this time rose, and said, I am the Vicar of Creech St. i Dlichael ; . and now the resolution is carried, I beg to move that Mr. Hunt present the petition to the Home of Commons.--("Nonsense, no petition yet resolved on.") .The CHAIRMAN would now sohmit to the meeting the • form that had been prepared for the petition, and handed a copy of the same to the Under Sheriff to read to the meeting. •Among other things, it prayed his Majesty to exercise his prerogative, axd, if necessary, • dissolve Ow Parliament ' • ~ The petitions were then put aril carried with scarcely a dissentient yoke ; only one hand, as we could perceive, being held up against them. Mr. HUNT then came forward. He had always been of opinion that every man who paid taxes should have a voice in the election of representatives. He had been sent to a county gaol for two yews anti a haif, for. uttering words which he had beard exceeded for violence, even in the House of Commons itself. He had heard Sir Charles Wetherell, the Member for Boroughhridge, describe some Hon. Representatives to be as black as the devil. He had seen Member* from the opposite side of the House rise and taunt the boraughmongers with being blacker still. He had heard other s sa y, th a t f or t h e - last half century the House had been composed, for the most part, of a set of swindlere. Speaking of these things in that piece he must of course suppose that they alluded to the House of Gammons in former days. He did not hesitate to say that the country had been under the denomination of a profligate Government ; anti that the House of Commons had brought itself into disrepute, by pandering to their vices. A gentleman had alluded to the Civil List. It is perfectly true they could have tie reduction of taxation. But why ? Because, when it was proposed to retrench the expenditure, up get Sir Robert Peel and Sir Charles Wetherell, and exclaim, " you will ruin the country." The fact was, they were afraid if money was not robbed from the pockets of the poor, there would be none to put into the pockets of the rich.—(No, no.) Gentlemen might say no, no, but if the words were not exactly used, the same thing was said by their conduct. He believed the present Administration was composed of well-inten tioned men ; but he thought that the expenditure of the country would be rather increased than diminished. The Learned Gentleman had askel, could any thing be done without attacking the funds or church property ? He would say no. But kßeformed Parliament would require every man to make a sacrifice according to his means ; for he thought under the new system it would be strange indeed if they slid not get a better House. It had been • asked, bow would the Han. Member fur Preston have been returned, if it were not fur poor men? Pie was glad that they had a boroughmonger, a friend to the poor. It was true. many poor weavers, earning only ss. a-week, had voted for him, rejecting every bribe that had been held out to them—( Three cheers for the Preston voters) — and it was a fact that not rine corrupt borough representa tive had dared, in the House of Commons, to raise his voice against his (Mr. Hunt's) constituents. They had, intleed, set a noble examploto the country—to the county of Somerset,---atotto Bridgewater.--f Loud and continued cheerin a) H - e had told Lord John Russell, wh en t h e Bill was laid on the table' of the House of Commons, that it gave the lie to every calumny that had ever been raised against the Reformers. There was no disposition of dis loyalty in the country; the only rebellion there was, was that manifested by the boroughmongers. He would beg leave to move that the Sheriff sign the petitions ou behalf of the meeting.—(Cheers.) J. L. LEE, Esq., M.P. for Wells, second, d the motion. He had the honour to represent a large and populous town. —(A rotten borough.) No, no, a free and independent borough, one that was a close borough, but that had man fully for three years contended for its privileges. He was apprehensive that many of his constituents would oppose the Bill, because many of them would be by it deprive 1 of their votes, but he was happy to say that front a com munication he had received, they, like a majority of their countrymen, were desirous of rattling their private views ' in the public good.—(Loud cheers.) To show the in fluence of the borough system, Mr. Lee gave an analysis of the votes on the second reading, and concluded by se conding the motion. Mr. Caessweaa now proposed, that as neither of the county Members had thought proper to attend the 'met ing, Mr. Hunt should be deputed to present the petition to the House of Commons.—(No, no, Sandford, Hunt.) Mr. OLIVER. HAYWARD seconded the motion. It was then moved as an amendment, that Mr. Sand ford should present the petition. Mr. Hoerr said, it had been remarked as a reason why Mr. Sandford was not present, that he was discharging his duties in the Mouse of Commone. This was as much as saying, that because he (Mr. Hunt) was there, he was neglecting his. He had seen Mr. S. on Saturday evening, and that gentlemae had asked him whether he intended to be at the meeting ? He had answered that it was not his duty to be there, but he considered that it was Mr. Sand ford's. To this Mr. S. replied, " Why it is 150 miles down, anal 1.50 miles up, making 300 miles;" but, not withstanding the distance, be Mansell had determined to attend ; and he had no doubt he should get back again in time to discharge his duties as faithfully as Mr. Sandford. For himself he thought nothing of the distance ; and, when a young man, like Mm. S., he had gone as far to have a quarter of an hour's conversation with a pretty girl. —(Letighter.) It's true. It is natural that Mr. Dickin son, having voted against the measure, should be absent ; hut, gentlemen, let me ask you, did you ever know a Mem ber neglect to attend a public county meeting, who was not prevented by extreme illness.—(Never, and a laugh.) Mr. H. said he hail lately become a legislator, and he had had an opportunity of witnessing how laws were made. He had been upon a Turnpike Committee ; and he could give them much valuable information respecting the man ner in whisk private Ijille were jostled through the House. Mr. H. here entered into a humorous description of what he had witnessed in this Committee, ridiculing the clauses of the Bill which was ureter examination. Among Qtbor things it was proposed, that any person found driving a team, in a state of intoxication, should be taken before a magistrate, and fined 101. He had, however, recom mended the clause to be struck out, and for the reason that, while they were looking for a magistrate, the man would get sober and the Justice get drunk. Did they mean to let Mr. Dickinson go scot f ree 7,-4 No, no.) He underatood that a gentleman present was prepared with a motion.relative to Mr. D., and he trusted it would be brought forward. The CHAIRMAN then put it to the vote, whether Mr. Sandford or Mr. Hunt should present the petition ; the majority was decidedly in favour of the latter gentleman. Mr. HUNT should. with much pleasure, obey their in -tructit,n2 ; and he should take an opportunity of doing so in rolijunction with Mr. Sandford.=—(That's handsome.) It was then proposed by Mr. LRE, and secomlvi by Mr. SANFORD, that the Loud Chancellor he requested to pre sent the petition to the liottze of Lords. .• - - This-motion was carried unanimously. Mr. CRESSWELL now came forward, and moved 4 vote of censure on the conduct of Mr. Dickinson. Mr. HUNT said, that since he ha 4 been in Parliament, he had seen Mr. DieLinson eternal!) , moving about the House, and he walked like a sick duck in a farm-yord. Mr. Dickinson had, however, never opened his ►pouth to him, and he believed the re ison was, that he was afraid if he did, that he (Mr. Hunt) would jump down his throat. The vote of censure on Mr. Dickinson was then seconded, and carried with only a few dissentients. Three oheers were given for Somersetsbire, and a vote of thanks proposed for Mr. Hunt, who, in acknowledging the empliment, said, that, highly gratified as he was with ~: t'utt day's pooeeclings, and the progress of the great gars. ^/ ion, 'still be should 'rem 'in nusatOtied until he L ought , he murderers at Mancheste r to Ake. BERWICK SHitilF—, (From the North _Briton.) This is rather a droll concern; but as the gentlemen of Berwickshire avow that they intend to take the lead, and make a stand against the attempt which (they allege) is making to take away the rights of those who are " pro prietors of the soil," it is fitting that the real nature and value of its proceedings should he ascertained. The county meeting, then, consisted of an Earl, a Lord, ttvo Baronets, an Admiral, a General, and 27 other gets Heinen, of whom there were five Edinburgh advocat 1 (on a political circuit, we suppose), three writers to ti e signet, one of whom is conjunct city clerk- f burgh, and divers bankers from the same city; a cot siderable number of whom had four days previously er acted the same part in the Hopetaun Rooms. The g I tent Admiral who presided at Edinburgh on Tuesday led Ate van on Friday, resolved to ‘ hoist his flag in defiance f the Broom, which is nailed to the mast• bead—a token that '• sweeping tneasures" arc intended with re .:ard to decayed and unserviceable hulks of various de ,eriptions. These 33 noblemen and gentlemen constituted the whole of this county meeting, and we presume, therefore, they are the only " proprietors of the soil of Berwickshire," and tha none of them have paper votes sa ft eehold,rs. Taking.this for granted, we proceed to their proree.l - In the first place, the nobly Ch lit wan (awl he is a ti ue nobleman), while lie admitted that sonic Reform was necessary, stat e d that the Ministerial measure " emit:lined such sweeping clauses as tended not may to ovcrset the Constitution of the country, hut to effect a complete revo :ution." No doubt if the Consti.tvion were to be np•et, that wnuld be exactly a revolution. But bete the Noble Earl paused, neither explaining how this was all to hap pen, nor what sort or degree of Reform ht admitted to be necessary. The signal of battle being thus given, the gallant Ad mirel broke the enemy's line, and poured in a brqadside, starloattl, and larboard, with " prodigious" effect. He opened at cnce his four hundred pounders. " Hitherto (quoth be) the qualification for a vote in a coun'v was 4001. Scots valuation, which now might be held as a property in land worth from -400/. to 1,000/. sterling a year." Here we must pause ! There roust surely be some blunder in the Admiral's log-book ; for the mere valuation does not imply any Vend in property as its in separable accompaniment. The worth of the freehold de rived from valuation may he a peppercorn—a penny Scots —or, like, the Laird of Bradwardine's rcddendo, may be the feudal service of pulling off or putting on the King's boots after battle ; and the ot:lv value of the pure le &mid on 4001. valuation may be, and generally is, a mere tight to vote far " a Knight of the Shire girt with a sword " Whether this be worth 4001. or 1,0001. a year, we knew not ; hut if it be, it is full time that the va'ne be reduced. But alas! the horrid Bill proposes to reduce the quaification to 10/. proprietors, and (Sir David says) 101. householder:, and 50L tenants! The Admiral is wrong—but he would not look at the Bill, be came it had " coma aceidentAly through a private channel" The Admiral has a great horror at all this—but he has mistaken his soundings. It is not proposed to give 10/. householders a vote in counties; and lOL proprietors, although not quite to our taste in, coun ties, are not to be sneezed at. A tenement yielding 10/. a-year is equal at least to 250/. or SOOT of real property, and the owner of it in land or houses is likely to hove a stake in the country besides. The gallant Admiral per haps does not know, that, by the old feudal Constitution of Scotland, a King's vassal whose b irony was worth 20/. Scots, or I/. 13s. 41. sterling, was not only a freeholder, but a Member of Parliament—bound to attend, and fined i Ole did not attend! But we must leave the Admiral to fake the lead," ant" make a stand," as he best can. Mr. BAILLLE, younger of Jervi.wowl, tbllowed the Ad miral—;admitte4 the necessity of some Reform, but objected to t' -e " sweeping measure." Ther., is much good sense in what he says; and although the reference to Jupiter was unfortunate in these matters, and the quotation of Latin and Greek at a county meeting is a little juvenile, yet there is something interesting in his wish to continue of the same race, and of the same blood which is consecrated in Scottish history. His great ancestol-, however,' was a martyr for participating in changes —aye, in a revolution —not for upholding abuses and corruptions. The Admiral renewed the attack. " The - preamble of the Bill is uonsense:"—" Is giving tiie right of election to 10/. voters giving it to persons of property ?" Verily, verily, it is, good Admiral. Don't —pray don't be so fierce ag'dnst ple)eians. But now come "the members of the Scotch Bar who rendered such. valuable thsistanc e to the meeting." And first, Mr. David Milne repeated that the, matter. was " great importance"--" most momentous ;" far that the " sweeping measure" " proposed no less than to overturn the Constitution of the cooutry."—" There is no great practical evil to remedy."—" Parliament ought to pause before taking such a s'ep :"—" •they ought to abide by the Constitution, an I not introduce new principl e s," or " de stroy the counterpoise and balance"-_." the just balance" —and above all things to pause"--and to " pause" be fore destroying the " equilibrium of the Constitution ;" and he actually quoted poetry os a finale to his speech ! Mr. C. Bammu, advocate, differed from his l earn ,' brother about giving a vote to tenants, of whi c h he ap proved ; but nevertheless be j..ined in the chorus of the old song, that " the principle of the Bill goes to overthrow the Constitution of Scotland as laid (loan (ye , laud down) at the Union ;"—and he held that Mitilstcrs " intended to desttoy the influence of the landvd interest." If l7e had said the undue and improper influence, he would have been right—and they are right in so doing ; but the legitimate influence of the larided interest it is undoubtedly their object to establish and support. He also carritd in his memorandum book from the Hopetoun Rooms the original phrase about our Constitution and agriculture being the " wonder and admiration of the world !" What a terrific opposition lias thus sprung up ! The Ministry are swamped, dished, upset, overturned, and com , pletsly be-devilled by the leading Be rwickith ire meeting. The Constitution must now surely stand secure for evermore I EVENING DRESS.

The fronts are trimmed on each side of the breast with six pattes in silk braid. On each side of the waist is a row of braidinc, which comes from beneath the olives and serpen tines on the skirts of the bask and front, to His opening of the pocket-hole.

The top is a petit pont, or very open in front. PantaloOns of claim, so much worn last year, will be very fashionable this summer. Waistcoats arc worn generally long. We have seen them sometimes longer than the coat when it is buttoned. Those raide a schall have the shawl part a moderate size, and turning over about half way in front. The most fashionable silk materials for waistcoats arc as fellows :—a brown satin ground with veil , . t flowers, either green, red, yellow, blue, or white; a spotted ground, forming yellow and ponceau patterns, strewed with black velvet flowers; a plain green ground with similar patterns ; a black ground in velours ras, strewed with silver flowers; a green ground, with small gran it e l ozenges, h av i ng a yellow point in the middle ; a brown ground, strewed with flowers, and points re. loalres of light blue. GENERAL, OBSERtiATION4. A coat of bleu de roi cloth, the collar without notches, yellow buttons of a new kind. Silk waistcoat, formed of two stripes; the one dark chamois, and the other light green. Granite pan taloons. Black cravat. A green coat, made to sit close to the shape ; the collar is notched, the lappels are extremely supple and pressed flat. Pantaloons gris Marengo, with a band- to correspond piquee a plat on the side. A gusset on the ancle. Sous pieds attached by double buttons; the button-holes are made in the panta loon. Waistcoat of chamois casimere, buttoning up to the collar with almond-shaped buttons. - . . A black rediagote, with short skirts; lappets to cross; velvet collar. Waistcoat of pod de chore of a very bright green ; grey pantaloons, and a coloured shirt. . , A redinflote droite of Carmelite brown, long skirts piquces double bord ; pattes on the hips. A jonquille-coloured watered silk waistcoat, with a white lappel made a schall; black panta loons. We must add the following to the materials already given for silk waistcoats: a violet-coloured satin ground, strewed with vvivet points, and flowers of light Caroline-colour. Gros de Sole, with two s'ripes, the one green, the other orange. Several young men of i - ashion wear double waistcoats a schall. Several of the most novel waistcoats are in polls de chef re use of straw-colour, grey, lilac, or chamois, with a flower of lizeron, printed in colour on the material. The knot of a dandy's cravat is no longer placed at the bottom of the collar, but in the middle. Round hats are now only worn in social parties ; cocked hats are indispensable in full dress. It is expected that a new-fashioned hat, called a Polonais, will appear; it is of a William Tell shape; the brim is made like the Zero hats, and there is a slight fulness in the bottom of the crown, forming a heart behind and before. Some dandle - a : have lately been seen at the theatres in printed ♦elvet waistcoats ; others in those of cachernire of a shawl pat tern, or with cross stripes. Almost all the coats had large lap pels, without notches, and velvet collars. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. Crown Office, March 31, 1831 MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLISSIIINT.

REFORM MEETINGS IN SUPPORT OF HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. S 0 MER SE T SHIRE. (From the Bristol Mercury.) A very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the reebilders and inhabitants of the c oun ty o f Soinersetlon he question of RetOrm, was held on Monday, in front of the New Market-house, Cornbil, Bridgwater, where spacious hustings were erected. From an early hour in the morning equipages and vehicles of all descriptions can - iinueil to arrive in rapid succession ; and long before the hour of commencing proceedings, the town presented a -cene of the highest animation. Sincerely do we wish that the opponents of this great measure, those who contend that the people have no desire that the Bill should pass, could have witnessed the enthusiastic ardour and spirit with which they were animated on this momentous oc casion. Precisely at twelve o'clock, the Hieb Sheriff, Toostas - S. BAILWARD, Esq. was call,l to the chair. He was in poisession of communications from the Members of the county, stating the reasons that prevented them from at tending there that day. That from Mr. Dickinson stated that he was confined by a fit of the gout—(Oh dear) — which rendered him unfit for joining in their discussions ; but that, if it were otherwise, he must candidly state that he could not conscientiously agree with the object apeeified in the requisition, because be thought the principle of the Reform Bill unjust, inasmuch as it would - deprive many deserving constituents of their rights and privileget.— Laughter.)—The letter from Sandfinal stated that it was his intention to have done himself the honour to at tend the meeting, but, after the vote he had given, he trusted that no reflection would be cast upon him, especi ally when the meeting were informed that he was pre vented solely by 1k Parliamentary duties. The question of Negro Emancipation was to be brought forward by his friend, Mr. Buxton, on the next day, and he felt ' anxious to b! in his place to give it his support. • SANDFORD, sen. Esq., then came forward to ad dress the meeting. He said. among Englishmen there was but (toe sentiment on the question of Reform. The people of England were unanimous in their approval of the measure now before Parliament; and if the Bill, the whole Bill, passed into law, it ,would restore to them the Constitution in its orieinal purity—a Constitution of . King, Lords (not oligarchy), and Commons. The Magna Charta of King John would be outshone in re splendency by the Magna Charta of King William, and the name of our revered Monarch would be banded down to posterity with a grateful remembrance. It was said that the measure was the forerunner of a revolution. No ! It was the forerunner of a staple Governmerst. He was proud his son had vot.d in the majority ; they had placed him in his present honourable situation, and they might depend upon it he would serve them faithfully to the best of his ability.—(Loud cheers.)—Mr. Sandford concluded, by proposing a resolution to the effect that the cordial thanks of the meeting be given to his Majesty's Ministers for the plan of Reform pinposed by them, and to the three hundred and two independent Members who gave it their support on the second reading ; and that an address be presented to the King, and petitions to both Houses of Parliament, praying them to adopt a measure so admirably calculated to add to the stability of the Throne, and to the happines of the people. Dr. KINGLAKE rose to second the resolution. He might refer to ancient Greece and Rome—he might ran sack every page of history, but nowhere would be find a parallel of the conduct of our patriot King. The energies of the people were cramped by the borough system, and they were visited by fiscal impositions in eopable of being endured. The people were borne down by the borough faction. He would declare, in the face of his country, that, for the last 50 years, Englishmen had not been represented ; and that, for the same space at least, they had been deprived of their freedom. They were told this was a sweeping measure. Why who ever heard - of moderate modesty? Would they take off the upper part of a fungus and leave the rotten parts to fester anew? He could not doubt the sincerity of his Majesty's The Premier, occupied in his darling pur pose, be doubted not. would be found as true as the needle to the pole. . He would endeavour to restore the constitutional rights of the people, to which they were entitled as rational and. free-born men_ The borough, mongers called the measure ".revolutionary:" to them it might be so; hut to the people would prevent -them' take awayfrom taking money out of the pockets of the people and puttingi tis f tl y t l hei u r ,, 0 0 0 u o r n lib T e l r i t e i y es. say that the Bill will Why, gent'emen, they have been taken away a long time ago. He con tended, that it would rather restore them, and lay the foundations of them 'anew. They say. moreover, that it is an infringement of property. We say, it will infringe no property that is not lawful spoil, and which, for them to hold, is an outrage on the com mon justice of the land. Lord Grey had said that he would stand or fill by the Bill. The King, also, in his goodness, had said " Show me a way in which I may do justice to my people, and I will adopt it." He called on them not to let the present opportunity slip; if they did, be would not be the prophet to say: when such a one would recur again.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN proceeded to put the resolution, when J. A. Gonnoti, Esq. M.P. for Tregony, rose and said, he confessed himself to be one of that borough faction.— eug h heres to r him answer pa tiently—depend,e rt (Hisses, " If you like honesty, hear hi m ," f rom t h e plat form. " Off, off," " Order," and m uc h uproar. ) M.P.,HENIeY Hurl, Esq., ltere are o n let u Mr. GORDON continued. He was free to ennfess him self one of the borough faction, so called by an Honourable Gentleman who preceded him. fle felt he had to address them under unfavourable circumstances, but at the same time he must say, as a conscientious man, desiring to see the blessings of the Constitution perpetuated, he could not but have voted in the minority on the present question.— (Great uproar.) He hop e d not to throw a slur on the candour of the prevmus speakers. They might have their opinion, but. as an Englishman, and as a Somersetshire ma n, he hoped he might he permitted to have hk—(Great clamour, during which the Chairman threatened to dis s,iive the meeting.) Hear, me. Don't turn me out just yet.

T he B i ll would disfranchise many freemen.—(" You are no friend to freemen.") He was much obliged to them. He saw they were not disposed to hear him ; but he would have them c onsider, whether clamour would give their opinions weight. He stood up for the Constitution, and not for the people.—(Great uproar, during which the speaker's vn i oe was inaudible.) Mr. G. then moved as an amend. ment, that a petition should be presented to Parliament praying it to reject the 13 i 11 . —(Great clamour, during which two or three voices called out, " Dissolve the meeting.") The - amendment was here r.ad, amid much interrup tion, Mr. Hunt observing, " they don't want to hear it." Mr. Goituorr continued—The advocates of Reform were deceiving the people by an illusion. How, if the Bill pissed, • w e r e t h e people to he better fe,l, or better paid ? Can any Reform effect these things ?—(Yes, yes.) He contended it was impossible. Mr. Escon (a Barrister) rose to second the amend ment. From the day when the question had first been agitated, there had been a most unwarrantable, a most un constitutional use made of the name of our revered Monarch.—(Great uproar. )—He claimed, as a freeholder, and as a citizen of a free state, his right to speak his sen timents; anti there he would stand until that right was conceded to him.—(Much clamour, the Chairman threaten ing to dissolve the meeting.) He was p itient to hear their arguments, and he would demand they should hear his- He would ask whether the Bill now before Parlia ment was one that the interests of the country demanded? —(Yes ) H e wou ld say no. It was one subversive of the Briti s h Government. lie knew that the g ran d error was, th a t t h ey had not taken time to consider th e mer it of the quest i on.—( " Nonsense, we have quit e ma d e u p our minds.") yes, b u t you h ave ma d e up your minds without refle‘tion.

New Price Current of. yesterday.) , 'SUGAR.—The stock or Sugar in London i s now reduced to about 11,000 hhds. and . till. West India, and 88,000 bags Mauri tius ; most of the former is not available for use, on account of its. low quality •' several of our most eminent b ro k ers h ave no Sugar on sale . ; the few parcels which have been on show met with ready buyers, and those of any quality realised an advance of fully Is. per cwt. ; the estimated sales for the three days this week in which business has been transacted were 1,700 hhds. and till. The stock of Refined Sugar is also much reduced, but as the great proportion of the export orders have been executed, there is little variation in the market. Molasses sell at a3s. Pd. and 245. Low goods continue to be taken off for packing, and the prices of last week are fully maintained, but the middling descriptions of `lumps and loaves at present appear to be quite neglected; the finer descriptions of lumps and loaves from 755. to 7ris., however, have been taken off freely, both by the grocers and shippers, and there are now very few parcels on show, and higher prices are de manded; for crashed the inquiries have been chiefly confined to descriptions entitled to the double-refined bounty, which have been sold at higher prices —say 355., and it would be difficult to purchase now even at that price. FOREIGN SUGARS.—There have been no purchases of Fo. reign Sugar this week; 112 chests Pernams were offered at public sale, but were all taken in, fine•white at 31s. EAST INDIA SUGA RS.—We have had two public sales of Mauritius Sugars this week, about 4,000 bags ; the sale of yester day went off tid. to Is. per cwt. higher. In East India Sugars no sales are reported. COFFEE.— The Coffee market continues very firm. Yesterday, 2,370 bags Cheribon sold la. to ls. 7d. higher, mixed 31s. 6d. sip to 445. for good quality ; of 442. bags St Domingo a part were sold 40s. and 40s. tkl. good ordinary. The British Plantation descrip tions went off heavily, but without any reduction in the prices. RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLANDs.—The purchase of Runs lately are confined to parcels suitable for export, of which there are considerable sales of strong qualities at full prices ; the market generally is heavy, an d ewards may be purchased rather lower. In Brandy there are few sales. The purchases of Geneva are more limited than in the preceding week, the prices are un varied. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow market has suddenly given way, owing to the settlement of the contracts by the parties who had sold to deliver on a certain day, and could not do it; they paid the difference between what they had sold at and the price on the spot, 50s. 6d. ; the market then gave way; the nearest price is now 4Ss. for parcels for delivery, 475. for next week, and 41s. for Septe.nber. in Hemp or Flax there is no material alteration. IRISH PROVISIONS.--Mutters are flat, and lower purchases may be made at a reduction of is. a 2s. Bacon steady, the holders evincing no disposition to accept of lower prices. Sales of India Beef and Pork in equal proportions at W. 17s. 6d. WOOL—The Wool market has been quiet during the last few days, but no giving way in price • on the contrary, the importers demand higher prices for the fresh arrivals, Wool being dearer in Germany than here. SILK:— Mere was a little doing in the Italian market at the close of last week, but the contititUAl large arrivals keep the prices low. In liengals and Chinas there has been little done since last sale. COTTON.—The Cotton inatket is brisk, particularly yester day, when above 1,000 bags were sold at prices which could not be previously obtained. COCOA.—At ye,terday's sale 18 brls. 37 bags Trinidad Cocoa, good quality, sold 50s. a 545., ordinary grey 255. FRUlT—There is very little doing at present; a parcel of damaged Cephalonia Currants by public sale yesterday were sold 675, a!Ss. for butts, and Ms. a 70s. for caroteels. • OlLS.—There is much doing in Seed Oils, prices maintained. Fish Oils very heavy and lower; best Southern 01134 t. 108. and 3.W., few buyers. SALTPETRE.—The prices are nominal on accoun.t of the warlike news from France and Belgium ; the last prices paid were 455. and 465. for the best quality. INDIGO.—The market continues firm. TOBACCO.—The inquiries after Tobacco increase, but no further sales to any extent are reported. PRICE OF SUGAR. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the week ending March 29, is 'Nis.- t. ) .d. per cwt., exclusive of the duties of customs paid orpayable thereon on the importation thereof into Great Britain. --- PRICES OF HOPS.—April I.

STAFFORDSHIRE. (Abridged from the Lichfield Mercury of Friday.) Yesterday the freehalers of Staffordshire came forward to give their support to the Ministerial plan of Parlia mentary Reform. The a. , seanbly was numerous, aed among the leading individuals were, we rejoice to record the fact, the possessor of the most ancient title in the kingdom, and the brit apparent of one of its mildest and wealthiest families ; and, above sll, a large majority of that influential class of landowners whose for.uhe and in tellectual endowments give them a pre-eminent rank in English society. The Hall was crowded with well•di eased persons. The HIGH SHERIFF (Thomas Fi'zherbert, Egg , of Swinnerton) took the Ch 'it-, and after reading the requi sition, mentioned that he had received letters from Lord Anson, the County Members, and other gentlemen, ex pressing their regret :a not being able to attend the meet ing. The letter from Lord Anson Stated the plan of Reform had his hearty concurrence, and wouhl have "the support of both his relatives in the /louse of Cummons." Sir JOHN WzorrEsoxy expressed hitosdf strum ly in favour of the plan, noticing " that a great portion of our misgovernment was attributable to the corrupt state of the represent ition."—( Applause.) Mr. LITTLETON, after stating that Parliamentary busi ness rendered it necessary for every _Member to be at his post, announced his approval of a plan of Reform "so pure in principle and practicalile in it , details."—( Cheers. ) Letters from Swinnerton, Esq. awl - the Rev. C. Landor, of Colton were then read, expressing their waint approbation of the meeting. Tie HIGH SIiERIFF then announced Earl Gower as the prapoaer of the first resolution.—(lomieus e cheerin,:.) llis LORDSHIP had the greatest satisfaction in congrt tulating the meeting on the present state of the go, stion of Reform : but they ought still to support Government by raising their voices in its favour, especially in IA county distinguished by its numbers, its wealth, anti its intel gence. The Bill bad passed by a majority of one. This was not a large majority, and ought to stiinulate them to exertion ; but though it was a small majority, it was, as had been aptly remarked to him by Mr. Littleton a ma jority of happy omen—for by a majority of One was the tiuuse of Brunswick called to the throne.—(Clieer..) Sir OSWALD MOSLEM sincerely rejoiced that this great and opulent county had now an opp;rtunity to express its reuse in fitymtr of Reform, and he rejoiced also in witness ing so large a meeting. The plan they were railed to con sider was not vague and intricate, but " simple , compre hensive, and satislactury." Such a measure was an honour to any statesman. The Earl of SHREwsuunY considered Our immense d. b t the increase of centime, the depression of agr,cul ore. t Game Laws, the Pension List, as arising from the c orrupt irate of the representation, and dwelt upon each art' iert at some length. He exhorted the freeholders to koppot " a pitriotic and reforming King. and a ref rraiu Ministry." His Lordmmlfrp then res..: the see int, r e .moiL. ,,, tmmm ,.. o. Sir T. C.
