1r ,- ping Re thought that it had been carried by acclamation : but having been obliged by fatigue to leave the hustings before the question was put, he was surprised to learn after wards that it was not carried, the question of adjournment having been put in its stead. He wished to know from th , :High Sheriff how the matter really stood. The HIGH SHERIFF said, that the vote of thanks to Lord F. Osborne had been put yesterday evening and car ried by acclamation. The Rev. G. A. BROWNS expree-sell himself perfectly . oatisiSed with that explanation, and called for " one cheer 1 more" for the Noble Lord, which was accordingly given by the assembled multitude. Mr. PRAED made an effort to address the freeholders, but the groans, hisses, and disapprobation with which the Hon. Gentleman was received, soon convinced him 1 that the multitude were ID no disposition to listen to his eloquence, and he accordingly desisted from the attempt. The Court then (nearly six o'clock) was adjourned till nine o'clock to-morrow morning. At the close of the proceedings at the nomination yester day, and when the High Sheriff had directed the polling to commence, the Rev. Dr. Lamb, Master of Corpus Christi, addressed the meeting from the side of the Sheriff's booth, but not expecting any further speaking, we h a d l e f t the place before he began. We are now enabled to give a short account of his address, for which we are indebted to the Cambridge Independent, a paper which is making very able and useful exertions in the cause of Reform in this county : Dr. LAMB said it was all a humbug for those who for years past had peomi themselves to be the enemies of the people to pretend now to be their friends and the friends of the agriculturists. They knew well enough that it was a humbug when they advanced it. or why should they propose a sailor to them as their representative ? He might be a good judge of ploughing the sea, but what did he know of ploughing the land?—(Cheer,.) Twelve months ago they had a Tory Administration; but having opposed the people it was compelled to give up, and Earl Grey came in, and did what no Government attempted to do before—he did without the boroughmongers. And how did he do without them? He celled in the people in their stead. It was represented that one of the twelve labours of Hercules was the cleansing of the Augean stable, which had been soiled by the dung of 30,000 horses for 30 years—(he knew the farmers would understand this illustration). Well, how did Hercules perform this? Why, by turning a river through the stable; and in the same manner Earl Grey would cleanse the House of Commons, by turning the tide of popular opinion into it.—(Cheers.) When they beard of this, the men who did not hesitate to beard his Majesty, and in sult his Administration, trembled, for they knew it was all np with them. Let the people look at the last elec tion, when they had sent into the House of Commons the greatest number of honest men that had been returned in any one Parliament since the revolution. The conse quence was, they carried Reform through that House by an immense majority. In the House of Lords the measure met with a fate, which, however they might regret, none of them were surprised at. It had been thrown out by the votes of 199 hereditary Peers, and, it was with sorrow and shame he said it, by the votes also of 21 Bishops.-- (Cheers.) Yes, it was, he would repeat, with sorrow and shame, that be found 21 Bishops handed together, to de prive the people of their just and legitimate rights.--(Re mewed cheers.) Still the Bill was not lost; it was but suspended for a while ; for the people were determined they would not lose it.—(Applause.) The people could look with confidence to such men as Earl Grey and Lord Althorp ; and in that county they would not imitate the example set in Dorset shire. The conduct of certain Noble Lords, with regard to the display of popular feeling, was most extraordinary. If the Press mentioned that such had taken place, up got some sapient Lord and said—" My Lords, we will not give way to intimidation."—(Laughter.) But suppose the country to be every where quiet, and up would get the same sapient Lord and say--." lam sure, my Lords the people don't wish to have the Reform Bill. I can assure you, my Lords, as a proof they don't want it, that they have not bnrnt a single Bishop in effigy in my neighbourhood." —(Great laughter.) The argument raised was, that if they were quiet, they did not want it ; and if they were riotous, they ought not to have it. Now theirs was a good cause, and needed no rioting. They had now a good opportunity of showing the spirit of the county, by re turning Mr. Townley—and not merely returning him, but returning him by an immense majority. POLISH ARMY. " ORDER OF THE DAY. " Head-quarters, Oct. 1. " The decisive moment is arrived. The enemy has proposed to ns humiliating condition!, contrary to the na tional dignity. It only remains for us to save our honour by rejecting them,--to pass the frontier into the States of his Majesty the King of Prussia, and there to seek an asylum. In our present situation, a prolonged struggle would only draw down great calamities on Poland. We aball lay down the arms which we took up in the sacred cause of the independence and the integrity of our native land, protesting against the violations and the abuses of which we are the ♦ictims, until Europe, under whose protection we place ourselves, does pronounce definitively on our and our country's fate. If, then, our prayers are not heard,—if justice is refused us,—if the Monarchs re lect us, the Almighty will be our avenger, and the stone which closes the sepulchre of Poland will entomb the in dependence of the nations who arc indifferent to our mis fortunes. Our blood, shed in numerous battles, the perse verance and the patriotism of which we have given examples, will be the subject of admiration and imitation for history and posterity. " Soldiers!—Let us gn where duty calls. We will sa crifice every thing except our ghsry, of which no force can ever deprive us; and we will await death with tran quillity, and with that pure conscience which follows the conviction of having deserved well of our country. " RYBINSKI, "Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Army." Mr. GRATTAN'S new production "Jacque line of Holland" has become a greater favourite than any of his former works. It is allowed to contain portraitures and scenes that may be ranked among the brightest passages of historical romance-writing. Of this nature are the graphically represented characters of Pilule, Duke of Burgundy, HuarrrisEY, Duke of Gloucester, Protector of England ; BEDFORD the English Regent in France ; and JACQUELINE hers( lf, the heroine of her age, as well as of Mr. GRATTAN'S pages—and the novel and picturesque descriptions of early Batavian manners and sports, the striking interview between JACQUELINE and her mother at the Castle of Amersfort, the dark scents in the rude isle of Urk, amidst the dreary waters of the Zuyder Zee, the battle of Browershaven, the murder of the infamous WILLIAM LE BzGuE, and the wild picture of one of those marine inundations so calamitous to Holland. CANTERBURY.—Our hop trade on Saturday was brisker than we have before observed at this season. We were glad to see a large buyer of last year again busy, and regret, for the rake of our poorer but industrious planters, that he did not commence sooner. We have heard that this gentleman bought on Saturday from 500 to 600 bags, at prices varying from 955. to 130s.—Kent Herald . WORCESTER, OCT. 10.-00 Saturday 998 pockets of hops were weighed: prices 90s. to 105 s. ; prime, 112 s. to 115 s. At Hereford fair, on Thursday, the finest hops sold at Si. 10e. to 61. ; inferior 84s. to 90* About 700 pockets were sold.— Worcester Journal. JAMES RETFORD, a private in the 2d bat talion of the Scotch Fusileer Guards, and servant to Lieutenant-Colonel the lion. E. StorFoan, of 25, Con naught-square, has absconded from his service. It appears that he was intrusted with a cheque for 381., which he got cashed at the banker's, and received four 5/. bank motes and IS sovereigns. He has not since been heard of. Last night an inquisition was taken before Mr. limas, at the King's Head, Knightsbridge, on view of the body of Tito,tAs NorrING, aged 27, a private in the Horse Guards (Blue), who committed suicide the pre ceding night, by blowing out his brains with a horse pistol. It appeared that the deceased had lost his wife about a month ago, to whom he was devotedly attached, and to whom he was married bat a short time previous : since then be became much depressed in his spirits, neglected his duties,:and gave himself up to drinking. On Thund night, about ten o'clock, he entered the room of a com rade named WHITER, at the Hyde-park-barracks, and com plained " that some person had written to his father a nice story about him, who had written to his wife's sister, and they were go i n g to play the very d ev il w i th him. " He shortly afterwards left WHITER. to go to hie own room, but returned in a few minutes and knocked at the door. WHITER opened it, and the deceased exclaimed " Good bye," he drew a pistol from behind him, placed the muzzle to his mouth, and fired before WHITER. caught hold of it. The ball passed through the head, scattering his brains, and he instantly fell dead on the ground. Proofs of de rangement were adduced, but it was not thought that he required watching. The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity," LITERATURE. FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. XVl.—(Just Publiskcd.)—Lo.\ - nox, 1831. This is a number of more than average ex cellence: articles have been selected with consummate tat and judgment, and are most happily adapted to the taste and temper of the times. " German Criminal Trials" are stimu lating in the highest degree, and on the minds of nervous and easily•excited readers will ope rate with the force of a spell: They are full fraught with horrors, recording some of the most mysterious and inexplicable crimes, attended, too, with circumstances of the wildest romance, to be met with in the annals of any nation. Even the " Monk," " Melmoth," and the " Myste ries of Udolpho," must " pale their ineffectual fires" before these records of superhuman atro city. The reviewer, by way, we suppose, of a whet, has extracted some of the most aggravated. From a volume, however, in which fiendish enormities are as plentiful as turkeys at Christ mas, or pluralists in the Protestant Church, it is difficult to make a selection, the more particularly, as tastes differ widely on the matter ; the fancy of some readers inclining them to gloat over the harrowing details of a seduction, while others give the preference to a murder. At any rate, the article is curious as giving an insight into the perversities of human nature, and proving to what extent the degradation of the head and heart may be carried, when once the helm of reason is let go, and the mind al lowed to drift unpiloted along the sea of pas sion. " Temperature of' the Interior of the Earth" puts forth many ingenious theories on a subject which few, we suspect, will take the trouble to investigate. But the scientific will read it with pleasure ; while Ignoramuses, among whom we rank ourselves, will fall fast asleep over it. " Chateaubriand's Historical Dis courses" possesses novelty—a first-rate recom mendation. The reviewer, in noticing it, takes occasion to divide historians into two classes : first, of those who philoso phize, and look to matter ; secondly, of those who merely narrate, and regard manner. The latter of these classes may be the most entertain ing, the most picturesque, the most acceptable to general readers, but the former only is worth serious consideration. It is one thing to write history with an eye to effect, and another to do so with a view to make it subservient to a moral end. Of what use are the records of the past, except to instruct the future ? Why burden our recollections with the Republican and i'lo narchical Governments of Greece and Rome, if the knowledge can serve no more efficient pur pose than simply to divert the fancy ? The merely picturesque historian is little better than a mere novelist. The great art is to blend the two qualities of philosophy and description to gether; to make the one set off and illustrate the other. Gibbon among the moderns, and Sallust apd Tacitus among the ancients, are the only historians who have done this; Livy pos sessed the descriptive, but he lacked the philo sophic faculty, and catered to the fancy, to the detriment of the reason. " German Literature of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Century" is replete with elaborate research, which is however curious, rather than instructive. " Mr. Canning's Foreign Policy" is ably but sophistically argued. The re viewer's evident aim is to show that no real difference of opinion, on the subject of our con tinental relations, ever existed between this ac complished Statesman and Lord Castlereagh ; that the one merely put in force the plans of the other, and followed them up unchangingly to the last moment of his existence. The asser tion is a bold one, and though ingeniously maintained will not stand the test of scrutiny. Lord Castlereagh, it is well known, was a mere tool in the hands of the Holy Alliance ; through whose means England lost by diplomacy all she had gained by arms. Nay, more ; from hav ing been a first-rate, she sunk by degrees into a second-rate Power, and was daily sinking lower in the estimation of Europe, up to the time when Mr. Canning took the helm of foreign affairs. Her condition was then changed as if by magic. A more liberal policy found its way into the Cabinet ; the fetters which bound us to the Holy Alliance were, one by one, struck off; and we rose in the good opinion of our continental neighbours with almost as much rapidity as we had sunk. So far from adopting Lord Castlereagh's principles, it was the express object of Mr. Canning's policy to undo much, indeed the greater part, of what his Lordship had done. Besides, let it not be forgotten that the one was foremost in the field to acknowledge the inde pendence of the South American Governments, which, had the other continued in power, would, doubtless, up to this hour, have been left unrecognized. Mr. Canning, though for years kept in a false position, by the pride and jealousy of the ultras, was always a liberal at heart ; Lord Castlereagh directly the reverse. The very habits and prejudices of the two States- men prove that there could have been little, or no community of feeling between them. Lord Castle- reagh was haughty—passionless—dead to all hu- man sympathies; Mr. Canning, generous— affable—and full fraught with sensibility. The one was utterly disdainful of public opinion ; the other acutely, too acutely, alive to it. To sum up all in a word, the one was a bigoted aristocrat ; the other an enlightened man of the people. In discussing the nature of Mr. Canning's con nection with the Whigs, the reviewer steps very unnecessarily out of his way for the purpose of abusing, and sneering at the latter's motives. He asserts that they sacrificed both principle and consistency by this alliance; though he cannot but be aware of the fact, that Mr. Canning's policy had, year after year, been gradually approximating to that of " his Majesty's Opposition" ; that he adopted many of their plans, lent his sanction to many of their principles ; that if any party were inconsistent, it was Mr. Canning, not the Whigs, who falsified no pledge, abandoned no principle, adopted no new lights, but sensibly, and we will even add, chivalrously, forgot all old resentments in a patriotic desire to support that Minister who was most competent to benefit his country. The Whigs did not turn round to Mr. Canning ; if any thing, Mr. Canning turned round to them, and honourable, most honour able was the alliance to both parties, especially to the Whigs, by whose prompt and seasonable interference the first deadly blow was struck at the hydra of Ultra-Toryism. With the exception of the defects to which we have just alluded, the article on Canning's foreign policy is admirable. It is well-expressed, well-considered, well di- L gested, and above all, is just the fitting length " Pestilential Cholera" is fortunately timed, It is a question which just now engrosses public attention to a nearly equal degree with Reform. Ye hear of it, we read of it, in every quarter ; it is the subject of conversation in all classes, at the East End and at the West End, in the palace of the Peer and the hut of the peasant. It has driven hydrophobia clean out of the field, and inspires as much horror as the Episcopal Bench, though we trust it will not be equally productive of mischief. The reviewer, how- ever, is an alarmist, and anticipates the worse He makes no doubt of the infectious character of cholera, and seems to take for granted that it will approach our shores. He asserts, more over, that it " is altogether a new disease, and one totally unknown to medical science previ ously to the year 1817, when it first made its direful irruption in Jessore, a populous and wealthy city in the centre of the Delta of the Ganges." There it was in a perfect passion, and raged with all the fury of a monsoon or a ma niac, while in other places, even in the sultriest parts of Africa, it was gentle, and placid, and temperate in its character. We hope, should it reach England, it will be equally considerate and gentlemanlike. The reviewer seems to think that the cholera is " Propagated by an animal miasm or effluvium of a peculiar kind, emanating from the bodies of the affected ; and this effluvium, being inhaled with the air into the lungs, acts as a poison on the class of nerves which sup plies the respiratory, the assimilating, the circulating and secreting viscera, vitiating also the whole mass of blood, and thereby occasioning a specific disease, which in its turn gives rise to an effluvium, similar to that in which it s,lf originated ; which, also in like manner perpetuates its kind, under the favourable circumstances of predisposition, aerial vicissitudes, &c. and thus a specific form of disease is propagated for and wide, as long as a concomitance of causes favours its perpetuation. The morbid impression of this effluvium or poison upon the nerves of organic life, and probably the effect of its introduction also into the current of the circulation, are of a sedative kind, rapidly destroying the vitt' energy of the one, and vitiating the other, mad thereby giving rise to the characteristic phenomena of the malady." This is one theory. A second is that the cholera is epidemic—not decidedly infec tious ; a third that it originates in the air ; a fourth that it is caused by some derangement of the earth. Among these various contradictory opinions, we shall leave our readers to make their own selection, and content ourselves with remarking that the impression produced on our minds by the numerous cholera treatises that we have lately had the ill-luck to peruse, is that little or nothing is yet known on the subject, and that professional men are in the same blessed state of ignorance as the unprofessional. One fact alone we will vouch for : namely, that the cholera is a highly dangerous disorder, and that the less we have to do with it the better. We have neither time nor space left to discuss the remaining articles, or we should venture on a notice of the very eloquent criticism on the works of that fine old musical composer Bee thoven. CLERICAL DOMINATION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) In a parish church, not a hundred miles from Wix, Essex, the following ludicrous circumstance recently occurred :—The parishioners had been summoned to meet on business. Two or three of them happened to be there a few minutes•earlier than the time ap pointed; when they arrived at the church, it rained rather fast, and as they were not provided with umbrellas, they took the liberty to step without the doors, just far enough to protect themselves from the weather. There being no service in the church at the time, nor indeed any one there but themselves except the parish clerk, they thought it unnecessary to take off their hats. They had been there but a few minutes, when up came their new rector. Immediately on entering the church, he turned round upon them, and in a tone the most magisterial and authoritative, thus addressed them :—" I command you to take off your hats, and on no future occasion to be guilty of such indecent conduct." 'Without waiting for a reply, he immediately strutted towards the chancel end of the church, and placed his own hat on the communion-table. Other parishioners had then ar rived, and they then retired to the vestry, to transact the business of the parish. This being done, as they were leaving the church, one of the gentlemen who had been so rudely and unceremoniously accosted ventured to ask the Rev. Vicar,—not in an angry recriminative tone, but mildly and politely,—if he did not think his own conduct, in placing his hat on that holy place (the communion-table), as much meriting the term " indecent" as theirs which he had so insultingly condemned, when, in fact, if they had been guilty of any indiscretion, it was entirely without thought. The Rev. Gentle man immediately flew into a rage, and vociferated to the parishioners, who were fast retiring from the Church, " Come back, come back." " 1 have no wish," said the former respectfully, " to offend you Sir ; and I merely mentioned the matter as entirely between ourselves, simply to inquire whether there was riot as much indecency in one case as in the other." "I know the feelings of Dissenters towards the Church," rejoined, with vehemence and rage, his reverend opponent, "and I am determined to make the affair public." The parishioners had by this time re-assembled, when, elevating himself so as to command a view of them all, the incensed vicar cla mourously said, " When I entered the Church this day as 1 came to the meeting, I found three Dis senters with their hats on in the Church; I com manded them to take them off, and not to he guilty of such indecent conduct in future. One of these gentlemen has had the temerity to in quire if my own conduct, in placing my hat on the communion -table, was not quite as indecent ? I reply, with indignation, certainly not. And I have now only to say, that if, on any future occasion, gentlemen be guilty of a similar indiscretion, I will not ask them to take off their own hats, but will command the churchwarden to sttike them off." Will it he believed that this modern Jehu, only a few weeks previous to this meeting, accompanied by a lady and a little Sunday -school girl, entered the same church, dressed himself in full canonicals, and strutted into the pulpit, desiring the lady to inform him what figure he cut. Where was his sense of decency while performing this farce ? Was not this, if anyeting can be called so, a desecration of the holy place ?—and . does it not deserve th e m ost public exposure ?—Tames. . COURT_CIRCULAR. Prince FREDERICK of Wirtemberg, attended by his Aide-de-camp, Count LirrE, left the Clarendon on Thurs day morning, on a visit to the KING and QUEEN, at the Palace at Windsor. His Royal Highness dined with their MAJESTIES and slept at the Castle, and returned to town yesterday morning. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBER LAND gave a grand dinner to his Royal Highness yester day, at their residence at Kew. There was a select party to meet his Royal Highness. The Russian, Austrian, and French Ambassadors, the Prussian Minister, the Russian and Austrian Ministers on special missions, assembled yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, at the Foreign-office, and held a Conference with Viscount PALMERSTON. The meeting broke up soon after four o'clock. The Minister from the United States and the Brazilian Charge d'Affaires transacted business yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Spanish Minister visited Viscount PALMERSTON on Thursday, at the Foreign-office. Sir GEORGE NAYLER, Garter Principal King of Arms, expired suddenly yesterday morning, at his residence in Hanover-square. - - BRIGHTON, OCT. 28. Yesterday four companies of the Scotch Fusileer Foot Guards arrived here from Windsor, under the command of Colonel BENTINCK. Their MAJF.STIES will arrive at the Pavilion to-morrow, to remain for some time. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUCIUSTA and Prince GEORGE of Cambridge will accompany their Nlantsrlas. Several of the Royal suite arrived this morning at the Palace from Windsor. The Princess LOUtSE takes almost daily a carriage air. ing, accompanied by Lsdy BEDINGFIELD. The arrivals, for the last week, hare been exceedingly num , rous. At ns former period has Brighton been vi.ited by so many fashionable. : the hotels and boarding-houses are crowded ; the Bedford with its 200 beds has not one' vacant. The Earl of CHATHAM has taken up his residence for the winter on the Marine-parade. Lord and Lady HOLLAND arrived last evening at the Royal York Hotel. Lord BROUGHAM is expected to join Lady BROUGHAM at Regency -house in a few days. A house is taken for the Earl of UXBRIDGE, on the Marine-parade, for the season. The weather for the last few days has been extremely wet ; notwithstanding, the principal carriage-drive along the cliff is daily thronged with splendid equipages. The Band of the Scots Greys has not played for some days, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather. Lady JERSEY has taken her departure from the Albion, anti returned to London. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE. On Tuesday, the 25th instant, at Torquay, by the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord HENRY KERR, the Hon. CHARLES Ronotrn TRF,FUSIS, Fellow of All Souls Collette, Oxford, to the Lady ELIZABETH KERR, daughter of the late and sister of the present Marquis of LOTHIAN. The nuptials of Sir JOHN PRINOLE, Bart., of Stichel House, Roxburghshire, with Lady ELIZABETH MAITLAND CAMPBELL, eldest daughter of the Marquis of BREADAL.

HENRY GOULBURN, was married last week at Betch worth, to the Hon. CATHERINE MONTAGUE, sister to Lord RoKEBT and Mrs. HENRY GOULEURN. The ceremony was to have been performed two or three months ago, had not the unexpected death of the late Lord ROKEEY caused it to be deferred. The Learned Gentleman was left a widower in 1829, by the premature dissolution of his first wife, a sister of the present Viscount CIIICTWYND. SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR G. NAYLER. Yesterday morning Sir George Nayler, Knt., Garter King at Arms, was found dead in his bed, at his residence, No. 17, Hanover-square. Sir George had been unwell for some time past, and was under medical care ; he had been latterly very much troubled with spasms, and had suffered great agonies. On the discovery of his death a medical gentleman was sent for, who was of opinion that Sir George lead died from a spasmodic attack in the night. He was far advanced in years, being, we understand, about eighty years of age. He had gone to bed at his usual hour on the previous evening, apparently in better health than for some time past, and his unexpected death has been a severe shock to his family. Sir George, in private life, was one of the most amiable of men. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, OCT. 29.—0 n Wednesday last the Rev. S.

Mr. TiromAs Moons, in his Life of Lord BraoN, speaking of the origin of the celebrated Romance o f " Frankenstein," says, " During a week of rain at this time, his Lordship and his friend, having amused them selves with reading German ghost-stories, agreed at last to write something in imitation of them. You and I,' s aid Lord BYRON to Mrs. SHELLEY, will publi s h out together.' But he made little progress. The most me morable result, indeed, of their story-telling coinpact, W as Mrs. SHELLEY'S powerful romance of Frankenstein,—one of those original conceptions that take hold of the public mind at once, and for ever." This romance, revised by the authort.ss, is now published in the ninth number of the .9eandard Novels. REFORM MEETING AT ABERDEEN, (Abridged from the Aberdeen Journal of Wednesday.) On Saturday, the 22d instant, a most numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Aber deen and its vicinity, was held on the Broadhill of the Links, in consequence of the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords. The working classes assembled at the amphitheatre in Crown-street, arid after having been mar shalled, proceeded along Union -street,. Castle street, King-street, Frederick -street, and Con stitution -street, to the Links. The several trades had banners and flags, with inscriptions ap propriate to the object of the meeting, and were preceded by bands of music, who played national airs as the procession advanced to the place of meet ing. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, which was indeed most boisterous with both wind and rain, we have never witnessed so many of our fellow-townsmen assembled together upon any occasion, excepting on the day of the election of Mr. Ross, of Rossie, as Member for this district of burghs in Parliament. As the mul titude advanced from Crown -street, along Union street to Castle-street, the sight was most imposing. A large union flag was placed, early in the morning, ma the highest summit of the Broadhill, and the colours of the vessels in the harbour were displayed during the day. The most of the shops in Union street, along which the procession passed, were shut. A temporary hustings was erected on a conspicuous place on the hill, and the different classes, as they arrived in procession, took up their stations in front. When the whole were assembled, there could not be less than from 10,000 to 15,000 present. A signal that the business of the meeting was about to commence was given by the firing of a piece of ordnance, stationed on the summit of the hill, beside the union flag. Mr. BANNERMAN having taken the chair, the va rious bands of music (which had been stationed in front of the hustings) played " God save the King," amidst the most enthusiastic plaudits of the meet ing and the firing of cannon. Mr. BANNERAIAN then addressed the meeting.— Fellow -townsmen,—l feel happy that this meeting emanates from the best of all unions—the sponta neous feeling of a large population, quietly and peace ably assembled for the purpose of voting a loyal and dutiful address to their beloved Monarch, beseech ing him, with the advice of his Ministers, to adopt such measures as may be deemed necessary to se cure the speedy success in Parliament of a measure on which they are convinced depends the peace and happiness of the empire. I have been asked why I should attend such a meeting as this, and run the risk of the consequences which may occur from col lecting so vast an assemblage of the people ? I an swer, that the House of Peers have collected this assemblage, and all similar ones.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. GERARD, of Midstrath, en moving the first resolution, said—Friends and countrymen, I will be bold enough to beseech you to let your firm ness and determination be the measure of your tem perance and forbearance, at this important crisis. It is due to the hest King that perhaps ever sat upon a throne—it is due to the most liberal, en lightened, and, above all, honest, Ministry that were ever called to the Councils of a Sovereign—it is due to our fellow-subjects throughout the empire, who have done themselves not less honour by their moderation and magnanimity under a cruel disap pointment, than by their indomitable spirit ; thereby shewing their inflexible purpose—their stern re solve to attain their ends by just means—by conci liatory rather than coercive measures. What, in deed, have we to fear ? Has not the tide of public opinion set in with a strong and mighty current to wards the sacred precincts of St. Stephen's—has it not absolutely filled the House of Commons.? Is not the surge already lashing the gilded portals of the House of Lords ?—(Cheers.) And shall " Dame Partington, albeit excellent at a puddle or a slop—and shall she, forsooth, drive back the Atlantic ocean ?" Impossible ! Mrs. Partington of West minster must follow the example of Mrs. Partington of Sidmouth. The oligarchical majority of 199 will yield—not willingly—not graciously, I fear; but yield they will ; for justice sometimes supplies the place of reason, and self-preservation is the strongest instinct of our nature. They have shown themselves deaf to reason, as insensible to feeling as to reason. For myself, I have no reliance upon their wisdom, none on they candour, none on their magnanimity; but I nevertheless believe that their Lordships will yield. Mr. BLACKIE then spoke as follows :—Gentle men, although a majority of the House of Lords, un willing to give up their unjust rights to nominate Members of Parliament for their rotten boroughs, and turning a deaf ear to the voice of the peoples, have rejected the Reform Bill, I am still far from despairing of the success of the good cause, sup ported as it is by the King, the Ministers, and the people. Such displays as we witness here to-day, and which are being made all over this great country, cannot fail to open the eyes of the enemies of the measure, and to convince them how very vain and faultless it must be for them to continue to oppose the uplifted voice of a united nation. The Reform Bill, do what its enemies can, will and must pass. It is the people's right; the people know that it is their right; and knowing it they will have it. But, Gentlemen, it is unnecessary to remind you, whose admirable conduct on the 23d May last, called forth the loud praise of even the hottest enemies of Reform in this city, (and God knows there are some of them even red-hot)—l say, I need not tell such men, proud in their high civilization, that the way to at tain our wishes is not by riot and violence. No. Such a course of conduct would only afford our op ponents a strong argument against us. Let us, on the contrary, obey the law in all things, and be careful to avoid every thing having the most dis tant tendency to tumult. On the subject of Reform, then, let me exhort you to remain firm and deter mined of purpose; but at the same time let me exhort you, as you value the glorious cause in which you are all engaged, for God's sake to remain quiet. Our cause, be assured, is in t'ie best hands—Lords Grey and Brougham, man of impeached integrity, have given us their pledge that they will carry through the people's Bill, and that pledge they will redeem at no distant date. I now beg leave to second the resolution so ably introduced by Mr. Gerard. Mr. WARDEN—The Bill, Mr. Chairman, though it now lies prostrate at the feet of their Lordships, will spring up again like the phoenix from its ashes, in all its pristine vigour. 'When it went into their Lordships' House, the mephitic air with which that House is impregnated, threw it into a fainting fat; but you may depend upon it, that although it now lies in a seemingly lifeless state, it will spring up again like a giant refreshed, and be as healthy and vigorous as ever. The people have only to blow their vivifying breath into its nostrils, and when this affectionate operation shall have been performed by the whole nation upon their darling child, every symptom of its sickness will, it is to be hoped, va nish; and the Bill, like King Richard, will " be. itself again." I shall only add, Mr. Chairman, that if their Lordships imagine that the inhabitants of this country will quietly stomach the rejection of this Bill, they will find themselves mistaken. Agi tation produced Catholic emancipation, but the agi tation on the Reform question is far more extensive and intense than it was upon the Catholic one ; and for myself I hesitate not to say, that while I will countenance no unconstitutional or illegal proceed ings, and though I would prefer the calm region of literature to the stormy element of politic, I will not cease while I have a tongue to speak, or a hand to hold a pen—l will not cease to contribute my humble share to the general agitation, till this mo mentous question is settled to the satisfaction of the country. Mr. Warden concluded by submitting to the meeting the second resolution. Mr. CANT I rise to second the resolution just now put. It is surely not to be endured that the Lords should become a power behind the throne, greater than the throne itself.—(Cheers.) But who are the Peers of this realm ? Why, Sir, they are men as we are—they are subjects of the well as ourselves ; and while I frankly from their station in society, they are ent. fair proportion of the representation of the I do most solemnly deny that it is possible 13ritish people to look tamely on and allow sures so dear to them to he trodden under any class of the community. To use the - Lord John Russell—" Shall the whisper 0f tion prevail over the voice of a great oat (Cheers.) No:—forbid it trtrh—forbid it —(Continued cheers.) If the House of cannot becontroulled by the King, the Go' the Commons, and the people, it is high it should be reformed. Mr. Cant conci pointing to the feelings with which the classes, to whom he belonged, regarded the There were none of his Majesty's subject anxious for its success. Mr. STRONACII moved the third resolutir Mr. ALLARDYCE—I beg to second the just moved. I shall not occupy their ti merely crave leave to add to the resolution lowing clause:—" That the Chairman be to s;gn and seal the Address on behalf of t ing, and transmit the same to the Right Fi;rl of Errol, for presentation of his Mlles' at the same time to convey to his Lordshif bleman intimately connected with Aberder the thanks of this large assem'dage of its for his Lordship's support of the Reform fl House of Peers."—(Cheers.) A well-dressed person in the crowd, itn' in front, of the hustings here addressing di' man, said—" Sir, after the ignorant and statements made by the Duke of Gordon, the Reform meeting lately held in this c ity, lt time that such conduct should be noticed at quarters; and I trust that before the some gentleman of w e i g h t aml influence o l;1 t 1 ;, a respectful addre s s t o t h e Ki ng, pray ingr jesty to dismiss the Duke of Gordon florn th of Lord Lieutenant of this county."

" STAFFORD COUNTY MEETING, °el' " Manners with fortunes, humours turn with , Tenets with books, and principle s with times. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SULIva; SlR,—Once more I take up my pen to say tu, t i county of Stafford is not backward in those demonstrs, of loyalty and attachment to the King, the Govern,s; and the Constitution, which, fur the last few wels. most happily become the Shibboleth of discriminatio n twixt the pensioned pauper, the corrupt Peer, and . . r pered prelate, and the independent and honest patriot-DI meeting has been ever held at Stafford, in point of .. e b , numbers, talent, or property, at all equal to that this day witnessed. The firm yet dispassionate 1 0 , 5 cl of the speakers, and the orderly and very respeetab'f i g racter of the meeting, were such as must f o r ever ' Ol ic rest, in this county at all events, the lying e t unnc r propagated by the Anti•Refortners, that a larg e r o portion of the county was disaffected.
