GENTLEMEN, THE Measure proposed by his Majesty's Ministers 'for Reforming the Representation of the People in Pilrliarnent, has received, as they hope and be lieve, the approbation of the majority of their fellow countrymen. On the second reading of the Bill in the House of Commons, the proposition was carried by a bare majority of one ; and since this another division has taken place, in which the opponents of Reform obtained the ma jority. The question decided by this last division did not indeed essentially affect the principle of the measure, but the circumstances under which it was proposed and carried put an end to all hope that the Bill would pass through a Committee, without such alterations as would essentially change its character, and destroy its efficiency. In this state of things it became our duty seriously to consider, and to compare the -inconvenience of a General Election at the present moment with the danger of disappointing the just expectations of the people, and we have felt it our duty to advise his Majesty to Dissolve Parliament. sgate-street o e parcel had hiked from , instead of ndon.

In graciously adopting this advice, his Majesty his given to his people an opportunity of manifesting their opinion on the great question of a Reform in the House of Com mons, in which their interests are deeply involved. If they are satisfied with the present state of the Representa tion, be it so. If they are not, they have now the power, by great exertions undoubtedly, and by the sacrifice in some instances perhaps of personal feelings and personal interests, to make their wishes attended to in the House of Commons, constituted even as it row is. If they should neglect to take advantage of this opportunity, it may be very long before they again have the power of effecting their object. The question is placed in their hands, and it is for them to decide it. You have long known, Gentlemen, my opinions upon this subject; you have frequently elected me when per fectly aware of what those opinions were, and I cannot, therefore, doubt that you will have approved of my having endeavoured to carry them into effect on the first opportu nity which has been planed within my reach. Your ap probation, next to that of my own conscience, is the highest gratification which I can experience. I appeal to you with perfect confidence ; and trust that, when the day of Election arrives, you will return me as your Repre sentative to Parliament. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and obedient humble servant, Downing-street, April 23, 1831. ALTHORP. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, THE dissolution of Parliament having taking place, I take leave most respectfully to solicit the honour of being a third time returned one of your Repre— sentatives. My public conduct is known to yon, I have proved my self an uncompromising advocate of retrenchment in the public expenditure. and the votes I have recently given in support of the " Bill to amend the Representation of the People," afford conclusive evidence of my opinion in favour of "the expediency of making such changes in the Re presentation as circumstances may appear to require, and which, founded upon the acknowledged principles of the Constitution, may tend at once to uphold the just Rights and Prerogatives of the Crown, and to give security to the liberties of the People." If by your favour the object of my ambition he attained, I pledge myself to use every effort to correct the abuses in the Constitution of the House of Commons, to apply my self with undiminished zeal to promote the Commercial, Shipping, and Trading Interests of the Port of London, convinced that these objects are essentially calculated to insure the most solid advantages to all classes of my fellow citizens. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged Servant, WILLIAM THOSIPSON. Upper Thames-street, 23d April, 1831. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELEC TORS OF THE BOROUGH OF GREAT YAR MOUTH, RESIDING IN AND NEAR LONDON. BROTHER FREEMEN, HIS Majesty has dissolved Parliament, and appealed to his people for the constitutional expres sion of their opinion upon the important question of Reform. Never did we prevent ourselves to you with so much confidence, or feel so deeply how intimately our common cause is connected with and merged in the dearest interests of our country, and the purest loyalty to our beloved Monarch. _ _ The vital questions of Retrenchment and Economy, the tranquillity of the country, the independence of Parlia ment, the safety of the Constitution, may all depend upon your fearless zeal. We have been again received at Yarmouth in a way most gratifying to our feelings, and should any one be found rash enough to oppose us, we will stand by you to the last, and join you in those exertions which have ever been successful, and add to our many triumphs one which will secure and consolidate them all. We have the honour to remain, Your faithful servants, GEORGE ANSON, C. E. RUMBOLD. Committee Rooms, Great Yarmouth, April 23, 1831. „ - The Committee in the interest of Anson and Rumbold sit daily at the 'White Hart Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, where all communications will be thankfully received. To the GENTRY, CLERGY, YEOMANRY, and other FREEHOLDERS of the COUNTY of DEVON. GENTLEMEN, PPARLIAMENT being again dissolved, I take the earliest opportunity of acquainting you that I no longer aspire to the honour of being one of your Representatives. Ample testimony has been afforded, in various modes, and from v er y op p os i te quarters , o f a d etermi nation to re verse your d ec i s i on at t h e l ate E' ect i on, and it is clear that certain Resolutions lately published at Exeter, on the subject of the Reform Bill, can only be directed against myself. Whether there be any justice in these proceedings I shall not now stop to inquire; but I cannot disguise from myself the fact, that the County of Devon has been for some time and still remains very much divided into two parties, holding very opposite opinions on great political ques tions —the one toe ready to adopt any innovation, and the other as slow to consent to any improvement. To maintain an independent footing on fair terms with either of these bodies, witheut participating in the extreme views which they entertain, is daily becoming a more diffi cult, and to me, I confess, almost hopeless task. For such a result I have indeed long been prepared. But my views of the best interests of the country, and of my own duty to yourselves, are not be changed by what I think an unfortunate state of the public mind ; and I do not understand why I should with any degree of justice have forfeited the good opinion of my late constituents, by a perseverance in the same unbiassed and at least dis interested course which I have ever professed to follow, and which has been so often sanctioned by their appro bation. Exposed, however, as I have been during a period of yearly twenty years to a perpetual succession of these con flicts, cheerfully sustained at my own cost and risk, though chiefly in obedience to your call, I must now frankly de clare to you that I see no good end to be answered in sub jecting myself again on any terms to that harrassing war fare. Neither could I consent to retain, on mere suffer ance, a post of honour and responsibility, however dis tinguished, when no longer accompanied by that public confidence which constitutes its real value to honourable minds, and mainly compensates the labour and anxiety it involves. It would be affectation to conceal that I retire with great regret from those public occupations in your service which hive formed, during a long and eventful period, my highest interest and gratification; but I beg you to believe that I am still equally sensible of all your former kindness, and in bidding farewell especially to those un changed friends who have steadily supported me in every difficulty, and whose approbation has cheered and encou raged me to the las*, I am sure that I may safely express my fullest conviction —that they will not blame me for having advisedly preferred a painful sacrifice, involv ing this separation from them, to a disgraceful compro mise of any opinions, which, however fairly warned of the consequences to myself, I conceived it a sacred point of duty to maintain. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very faithful friend and servant, THOMAS DYKE ACLAND. Pall-mall, April 23, 1831. oomi na P.S.

GENTLEMEN, THE Dissolution of the present Parliament will be immedilte ; I offer you again my most zealous services, and I cannot help entertaining a sanguine hope that you will, at this important crisis, honour me again with your full confidence. I will not dwell upon the circumstanc s which have led to this Appeal of our Patriot Monarch to his loyal and faithful People ; but I cannot help expressing my deep regret that his Majesty should have been driven to such a necessity by the oppo sition to a measure calculated in so eminent a degree to perpetuate the stability of the Crown and the liberties of the People. It is with astonishment I have heard it nightly argued for the last fortnight, that the safety of the Crown was incompatible with a fair and free Representation of the People. Such doctrine never was before promulgated ; it is opposed to every principle of the Constitution, and at variance with every just British feeling. With as little reason it is said that the House of Peers would sink under the superior power of tke House of Commons ; but the fact is, that that which is so falsely supposed to be the strength of the Crown and the House of Peers is in reality weakness, the return of Members by means that outrage all decency, violate the laws, the common law, the statute law, Parliamentary law, and, I may add, moral law, for bribery, and consequent perjury, are frequently neces sary to the operation—cannot, I say, give strength, but weakness ; and to attempt to uphold such a system, now that it is exposed and all its vicious parts laid bare to the public eye, is little short of madness. The Crown is based upon the affection of the people ; the Peers, by giving up their nomination boroughs, as many of them have nobly done, would acquire a fresh title to the respect of the people, and thus gain a just and legitimate influence far above any thing they now possess by corruption, and which would rest upon a firm and durable foundation. I do most earnestly hope you will return me again to Parlia ment, that I may assist this great work of Reform, which our patriot King has, in fact, by the Dissolution, referred to his people to accomplish. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, CHAS. C. WESTERN. South-street, April 23, 1831. AT a General Meeting of th e F r i en d s o f the BLUE INTEREST, held at the White Lion, Broad-street, Bristol, en Saturday the 23d April, 1831, convened for the purpose of considering the Measures which it may be expedient to adopt, in the present mo mentous and perilous crisis, for the preservation of the Constitution, THOMAS DANIEL, Esq. in the Chair, It was unanimously resolved, That the watchful regard which RICHARD HART DAVIS, Esq. has uniformly paid to the Local Interests of the City, during the long period lie has held the situa tion of its Representative in Parliament; the zealous, able, and tuaretnitted attention which he has devoted to the individual interests of his Constituents, of all classes, without any distinction from party or political motives ; and, above all, the firm, manly, and consistent line of conduct which he bas maintained, in all questions of great national consideration, affecting the fundamental prin ciples of the Constitution, as established in Church and State, fully entitle him to a continuance of the approba tion and confidence of his fellow-citizens. 2. That it is therefore the opinien of this Meeting that Mr. DAVIS should be again invited to become a Candi date for the Representation of this City in Parliament, and should be assured of the zealous and stedfast support of this Meeting, and of all who desire to preserve inviolate that balance of power established in our mixed form of Government, upon which depends the stability of the Throne and the Peerage, and which is the only security for the maintenance of the true and rational liberties of the subject, S. That the Chairman be requested to communicate the foregoing Resolutions to Mr. DAVIS, and to express the hope of this Meeting that he will accede to its wishes, by allowing his name to be brought forward as a Candidate for the Representation of this City in Parliament, at the ensuing General Election. 4. That the Chairman, with the following Gentlemen, viz John Haythorne D. Wade Acraman Daniel Day Orlidge John S. Harford Peter Maze Robert Lax William Fripp Richard Lowe James N. Franklyn Gabriel Goldncy Charles L. Walker Wm. E. Acraman A. Hillhouse George Gibbs Richard Nott John Barrow William L. Clarke Henry Roch George Daubeny John Vaughan Daniel Stanton Henry Bush Charles Morgan Robert Phippen c harles Payne Edward Daniel William Bushell .Joseph Cookson William Purnell Lionel Bigg Nicholas loch Samuel C. Edwards Cam Gyde Heaven John Hurle Henry Daniel Isaac Allan Cooke William Watson Arthur Paliner,jun. Charles W. Bowden Edward Sampson James Ford R. B. Ward. be appointed a Committee for conducting the Election ; that they have power to add to their numbers ; and that they be requested to take immediate measures for a general canvass. 5. That this Meeting has heard with regret, that mea sures have been recently agitated for effecting a coalition, with a view of bringing forward two Candidates in oppo sition to Mr. Davis. That it cannot believe that such proceedings have received the sanction of any numerous or influential body of citizens. Until, however, all doubt on that head be removed, it is obviously necessary that mea sures should be taken for guarding against the consequences. It is, therefore, as a matter of precaution only, earnestly recommended, that the friends of the Blue interest will, for the present, abstain from committing themselves as to their second vote. THOMAS DANIEL, Chair man . The Chairman having left the Chair, and the same having been taken by JOHN HATTIIORNE, Esq., Resolved unanimously, 6. That the thanks of this Meeting he given to the Chairman, for the promptitude with which he has called this Meeting ; for his able conduct in the Chair ; and for the zeal he has always manifested for the interests of the City, and in support of the Constitution. JOHN HAY rHORNE, Chairman. TWENTY GUINEAS REWARD. TO SHOPKEEPERS AND OTHERS.

There were also present, Lord Cal horpe, Sir James Mackintosh, Mr. F. Buxton, Mr. Sheil, Mr. W. Smith, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Sykes, Mr. Woolryche Whitmore, Mr. O'Connell, &c. The Noble CHAIRMAN had no claim to the high honour to which he had just been elected, as he had come to the meeting on the score of zeal alone. It was now many years since this question was first agitated ; but for a long time it seemed to be mak ing scarcely any progress. Fifteen years had been allowed to elapse before the institution of that so ciety had taken place. And how, and why, had that society originated ? It was well-known by the friends of the society that the Parliamentary in fluene4 of the West India interest was so great, that same combination or society was necessary to compete with its power. At the same time the Press of the country was also-against them : in say ing this he was no enemy tothe Press ; but it was well known that men will write, as they will speak, for money—(Hear hear) —and it could not be dobted that unjust attacks were made on the pri vate character of those who were opposed to the West India influence; for this reason it was felt to be necessary that facts and arguments should be sent forth, wh.:ch might serve to show that the friends of anti-slavery were not engaged in a useless pursuit. What was slavery in the West Indies ? Was it separation from friends—was it compulsion to labour—was it ill-usage at the pleasure of the owner ? It was more than this. The slaves had souls to be saved ; but owing to the degraded state in which they were kept, they knew not of the salvation within their reach ; and Englishmen ought to tremble at the thought that they were respon sible for the ignorance of these poor creatures : for himself, he looked for the vengeful wrath of Heaven on those who suffered such things to continue. It was riot the West Indians that he blamed, but the system ; for he firmly believed that the fact of residing there for a number of years made them look on slaves as persons inferior to themselves, and of a different capacity. He would not advert to the atrocities that had been committed to strengthen his argument ; though he thought, and almost hoped, that they might be alluded to in the course of the proceedings of that day. It was sufficient to say that such atrocities did exist ; and that they did was proved from the one fact of the reversal of the law of Providence, by which, instead of the population increasing, it materially diminished —(Hear, hear) —and that they did not die as chil dren, but from the time when they were first put to labour in the sugar plantations: On this subject the population returns -spoke for themselves. Their opponents trere in the habit of bidding them look at the Newgate Calendar, for the purpose of seeing whether as great cruelties had not been practised in this country. But even if they had, see the dif- ference. In the case of the Mosses in the West Indies, where a slave was killed by ill-treatment and torture, a fine and imprisonment were the only pu nishments; and even that fine was petitioned against to the Government of this country. And what took place when the term of imprisonment was over?— The culprits were received with honours, and a fete was given them. Now mark the reverse. When a master, in England, was cruel to his apprentice, they read in the newspapers that it was with diffi culty that the police could rescue the criminal from the indignation of the multitude ; then followed his trial and execution, which was attended by the just execration of thousands. With respect to vested interests, he would not say anything about them on this occasion. But this he would say, let the slave owners make out a case for compensation, and he would be one of the first to declare that they might be indemnified ; and he was sure that the people of England would unite to repair any damage that was done in consequence of their loud expression of feel ing on this subject.—(Applause.) Mr. FOIVELL BUXTON moved, that the object of that meeting was the entire extinction of negro slavery. Before addressing the meeting on this subject, he begged to say, that he had received a letter from the Duke of Gloucester, lamenting that indisposition should have prevented his attendance— from the Lord High Chancellor—(Cheers)—breath ing the same spirit of indignation against oppression and hatred of slavery which had distinguished him when he was only the most eloquent and powerful commoner of England—(Cheers)—also a letter from Wm. Wilberforce, Esq.—(Applause)—whose early life was crowned by the greatest victory ever achieved by man, and who panted in the autumn of his days for another such victory as might consum mate the good work. But this question, however, was now no longer a question of individual support.

I Nl e t was one delightful stream; a already ou z ,y n 00nt alluded one d coass oe many thousand murders remained behind, and had filled up a dreadful list ; the least of which was in sufficient to show the horrors that slavery produced. He would not enter into the' religious persecution that was practised towards the slave ; though, in his mind, that was worse than all the other-persecution they suffered. Sir J. MAtittril'reisti said, that it Was not only for the interest of the negru that this question ought to be set at rest — the master as Via es the slave was concerned—in order to preserve the one ; end to pre vent the demoralization of the other. Its road lay towards physical suffering, but it was through moral guilt that the master was enabled to travel that road. The Right Hon. Gentleman then alluded to the case of the Rev. Mr. Bridges, and observed, that the ease did not stop with the atrocity of that person. Unfortunately, that was the smallest part of the story. There was a society in the West Indies, called the Council of Protectors. Mr. Bridgewater was brought before them, fourteen of them sat in a sort- of Court of Enquiry, and they examined wit nesses, whose testimony .could leave nt3 more doubt of the atrocity of the offender then there could be of the truth of a proposition in geometry. Notwith standing this, however, ten of these voted for his acquittal, and only four for his conviction. Upon this a complaint was made to Government, who directed the Governor of Jamaica to take steps in the business. He would say nothing of the delay of that Governor; but at length the case was referred to Mr. James, the Attorney-General. He advised that a prosecution should he commenced ; but in spite of that prosecution, emanating from the Government, the offender escaped. He would ad vise any body to read the paper that had been printed on that subject, by order of the House of Lords ; and let it be remembered those papers do not come from the Anti. Slavery Society; but were the documents at length extorted, by the command of Government, from the Government of Jamaica. (Applause.) He remembered a story of a gentle man who was extremely careful how he made use of strong languige. It happened that he had been one morning reading Suetonius, and after taking the whole day to consider of it he said to a friend in the evening, " It must be owned that Nero was a wag." So the Governor of Jamaica, after no little delay, was pleased to admit that Mr. Bridges was some what indiscreet.—(Applause.) The language of Lord Goderich, however, was very different. He called that Rev. Gentleman's conduct unmanly and brutal, and directed that if he was a Magistrate, his name should be immediately struck out of the Commission.—(Applause.) He would state another illustration of the evils of slavery. When Lord Combermere. was Governor of Barbadoes, he took an opportunity of visiting an estate that he had in the Isle of Nevis, and on leaving the West Indies he availed 'himself of all the knowledge which his situation must have afforded to make such arrange ments es were best calculated to promote its pros perity. Among others a person of the name of Whalley was appointed overseer, and at the time that he entered on that office there were 220 slaves on the estate. In two years and a half no fewer than 44 had died, and the average calcu lation was that if Whalley had gone on administer ing the estate for ten years, he would have di minished the whole number to 28. In this case, also, the Attordey-General did his duty. He pre sented bills against Whalley for both murder and manslaughter, backed by the most satisfactory evi dence; yet, 'notwithstanding this, the criminal es caped from all. Lord Goderich had thought it his duty to communicate the facts to Lord Combermere, and that Nobleman's letter in reply was sufficient to show what his intentions had been, and how they had been abused. His Lordship stated, that he had given directions that his slaves should not be put to hard work, and that they should be amply fed; and then, after expressing his indignation at Whalley's conduct, the following remarkable passage occurred: " But I fear you cannot expect a Jury at Nevis or S'. Kitt's to do their duty." Now it was not to be supposed that the atmosphere of Nevis or St.Kitt's in any way differed from that of the rest of the West Indies, and it was therefore pretty plain, that in spite of Lord Comhermere's good intentions, all his efforts, and all the efforts of other good men, were to be for ever blasted arid perverted by the pestilen tial power of this nefarious system.—(Applause.) lie did not intend to touch in any way upon politics, yet he might be allowed to observe, that they had now the opportunity of a dissolution of Parliament and an appproaching general election to obtain once more that strong manifestation of abhorrence of sla very which the people of England expressed at the last general election, and which he believed they would at that which was now approaching. The resolution was then put from the Chair and carried. Dr. LUSHINGTON would boldly assert, in defiance of thz! charge of enthusiasm or imprudence which might be brought against him, that he was the strenuous advocate of the speedy emancipation of every slave.—(Cheers.) He was not willing to wait till the masters should be convinced that the de struction of the system would lead to their pros perity. He verily and in conscience believed, that in prudence and caution every slave might receive his freedom without the slightest peril to the lives or property of the white inhabitants ; nay, further, he believed that their property would be improved, for, instead of living in fear and agitation, and ex citing a precarious labour under the lash, they would then have a body of labourers, who, if they were paid a small portion in the way of hire, would per form double duty with satisfaction to themselves and increased advantage to the proprietors. For himself he had little hopes in any measures of ame lioration. Though he was thankful to the Govern ment for what it had done, at the same time he must say that he looked for more. He should conclude by moving " That an address be circulated through out England, for the purpose of stimulating th e people to co-operate with them in similar exertions to those which they were then making."—( Applause.) The Rev. DANIEL WILSON seconded the resolu tion, and said, that on reading the debate on the slavery question the next morning, he had said to himself, " Well, I will turn round to the Ministers, and they shall have my best support !" He was no politician; but he knew the value of at length having a Ministry that was ready to support the cause of the negro, and finally get rid of slavery from the West Indies. Mr. O'CONNELL (being announced by Mr. F. Buxton) rose and said, that he obeyed the call with alacrity, for no one could more abhor, detest, and abjure slavery than he did in all its gradations, and in all climes. But though he had obeyed the call, he must say that he could not altogether agree with the resolution that had been proposed by Dr. Lush ington. He thought that it was too narrow—it spoke of the people of England; but what had the people of Scotland and Ireland done to be excluded ? and he should therefore move as an amendment, that instead of being the people of England, it should be the people of Great Britain and Ireland.— (Cheers.) Now, with respect to this question, when it was last before Parliament, he did not know whether he ought not to take some blame to him self for its adjournment, but it had been forced upon him. Mr. Burge, the late Attorney-General of Jomaiea ) had delivered a most extraordinary ad-, dress, and had said, " What, interfere between mart his freehold ?" At these words he (Mr. O'Connell) had felt as if some one had trampled on his father's grave, and had he not been restrained by some friend near him, he should have drawn down on himself the animadversion of the Speaker. " Free hold ! in human being !" It was because he was desirous of having an opportunity of answering that speech that he had supported the motion for an adjournment. He, for his own part, had determined what shape he would take. If the people of Ira land, and it was nothing impossible, should send him back to Parliament again, he would make this pro , position, and divide the House upon it—" That every human being born on or after the Ist January, 1832, shall be born free."—(Tremendous cheers.) There was one topic further on which he would trouble them—he approached it with fear, but he was bound to say, that the Pre s s had not done its duty. In saying this, he knew that he was put tin g his hand into a hornet's nest, but this lie had so often done, and it had been so well stung that he did not care about it. He was bound to say that on this question the Press had turpit:ide upon it by manifesting a most guilty indifferenee.=-(Hear.) Mr. SHELL rose to second Mr. O'Connell's amendment. In 1823, Mr. Canning moved three resolutions, with a view to the gradual amelioration of the condition of the slaves, and the final extinc tion of their thraldom. These resolutions were adopted by the House of Commons without a dis sentient voice, and were selected by the Govern ment as the basis of a series of ordinances. What was the result? Were those ordinances obeyed?— No ! Jamaica shook her cart-whip, dripping with negro's blood, in England's face—(Applause)— and threats of defiance were held out to Great Britain by her colonies.. He would not go into a regular catalogue of the resolutions; but he would say that they went thus fan, that the Sabbath should be kept holy by the black. Was that adopted ? No ! the only differenee was, that on other days he worked for his master, on that he worked for 'him self. That the negro should not be sold but with the estate; but even that was not corn-. plied with. The endeavour that was made to pre vent the husband being torn from his wife, the child from its mother ; that the rise of the cart-whip should not be employed as a stimulus to labour ; and what was the consequence ? Had the cart-whip ceased to give the dreadful summons to the negro for rising in the morning—had it ceased to summon him to his meals ? Was it not still the curfew to summon him to sleep, where, for a moment, he might forget that he was a slave ?—(Applamie.) Not only was man tortured by man, but woman by woman. What would the apologists of Colonial torture say, when the hands of a priest—of a man of God, that had • been employed in preparing the Sacramental cup, were the next minute applied to the sacrilegious purpose of putting to the torture a woman redeemed by the same God himself ? What would they say when that violation was sanctioned by men who had thus consented to share in the eternity of his oppro brium, and become his copartners in the immorta lity of the shame ?—(Applause.) But all this was declamation. He should not wonder if some planter!, who had heretofore been in the habit of hearing this Rev. Mr. Bridges on a Sunday—he should not wonder if such a one would say, " Oh, you are living four thousand miles from the West Indies, and what can you know about the events that take place there ? Now, are you able to judge cf the circum stances of each action ?" Yes, they were living four thousand miles from Jamaica—they were at a far dis tance from the dreadful scenes, of which they had re ceived too authentic an account to allow them to entertain the slightest doubt of its accuracy, but the shriek of suffering humanity could travel 4,000 miles.—(Applause.) It could make its way through' the wind and over the waves, and find a path to every British heart.—(Cheers.) But it was not to the slave alone that they were to look for the most injurious consequences of slavery. It brought misery and wretchedness on, the negro, but it did worse with the master, for out of a man it produced a tyrant—(Applause)—and, if he might use the ex pression, it led to the ossification of his heart.— (Loud applause.) But the hopes of the friends of emancipation might now revive. The cause that had so lonpeemed to be stationary, or worse, was now straining towards success, and would soon reach the goal. It was the vaunt of the Spaniard that the sun set not on his dominions; let them improve the sentiment, and say the sun of " freedom shines wherever English power exists."—(Cheering.) The CHAIRMAN said, that he believed, in strict ness, he ought first to read the original resolution, and then put the amendment upon it; but Mr. O'Connell's amendment had appeared to meet with such general approbation, that be could not do better than put the amended resolution at once. The motion being so put, was carried unanimously. Mr. POWNALL, the Rev. Mr. BURNETT, and one or two other gentlemen shortly addressed the meet ing; after which, thanks being voted to the Chair man, the company separated. WESTMINSTER MEETING TO ADDRE3S THE KING.-In consequence of a requisition, numerously signed by the electors of Westminster, to the High Bailiff, requesting him to convene a public meeting, to consider of the propriety of expressing to his MAJESTY their grati tude for the countenance and support which he has been pleased to afford to his present Ministers, in their exer tions to procure a Reform in the Commons House of Par liament, the High Bailiff has appointed a public meeting to be held at Covent-Garden, to-morrow, April 26, at one o'clock, ARTHUR Moaals, Esq., High Bailiff, in the Chair. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—The " New Monthly Magazine" for May will be embellished with a portrait of E. L. BuLvvEtt, Esq. the distinguished Author of " Pelham," " Devereux," &c. accompanied by a Me moir; and among the varied contents of the said number will appear the first series of articles, of extraordinary interest at the present moment, written by a distinguished political character, entitled the " Progress of Public Opinion on Paliamentary Reform, with Original Anecdotes of Dis tinguished Political Reformers." The anecdotes include some remarkable passages in the lives of several living per sonages of eminence. The die being now cast by the dissolution of Parliament, active measures are already taking in the city of London—as will very soon, no doubt, be the case all over the country—for returning representatives whose principles shall ensure the success of the Reform question. The first individual who was thought of was the vene rable IJOHN SMITH, the banker, and it became known early in the day (Saturday) that a requisition was already prepared, and numerously signed, inviting him to stand for the representation of the city. The intelligence was accompanied every where with feelings of very great gra tification, and the sentiment was all but universal that a greater honour would have been conferred on the city by his acceptance of the offer, than he himself could have received from the ultimate attainment of its object. It will be matter of regret, however, with all who hear it, that this enlightened Reformer, and highly honourable man, has come already to the roulntion of declining the offer. His advanced age and state of health render him wholly inadequate to the fatigues of such a contest, and these motives, it seems, which every one must respect, are the only ones which restrain him from presenting him self on this important occasion. The field is therefore . left open to other candidates. It is thought that the Lor.n MAYOR will now certainly stand, and that Mr. VENABLES, to avoid division on that interest, will with draw his pretensions. Nothing can exceed the excitement which prevails in the city on the subject of the approach ing contest, but there is no symptom of violence, or language of exasperation, and there is no doubt that Lon don will set an example in this respect to the whole country. The insinuations of the Anti-Reformers, as tittered during yesterday's (Friday's) deoate, that a Reform in Parliament is to be followed by the destruction of pub lic credit, are treated in the city with the contempt they deserved. On the contrary, the feeling is, and has been so ever since this question was first agitated, that such a Reform will prove one of the most effectual means of travagance, and every description of useless bt e t t o tr ig.it guile An increase of the national debt will then e 1 .. we tied th,a thatsu sustaining n gs shall public thenc re b d e i t ee ; c. fo r r e sn,reuansonnecriebssouvrey all rosthllueerr:s:, have reached the extent it would never P tistnent like that now v propos . ed taken place Reform in dr :30 year , ago. rim"' people are Pe t r f irt r t l a Y s ° l i ne had a out of the question, and
