Tune—" London-bridge is broken down." Borough-bridge is broken down, Stock-bridge is torn from the Peers; In Sea-ford, and Or-ford, and Camel-ford, We are swamped over head and ears. Corfe-castle is crumbling, Castle-rising is tumbling, Bishop's-castle is likely to fare ill; An old Dun-witch must die in a ditch, And Whit-church is a church in periL Callington is as good as gone; Bramber is evil entreated ; They are making sad work with Aldborough in York, And Aldeburgh's Suffolkated. Neither to Wareham, nor to Old Sarum, Has this Bill been in any way civil ; Death has opened its jaws to swallow Saint Mawes, And Saint Michael has gone to the Devil. Winchelsea's fate is not to win ; • Lost.withiel is lost with its poll, We have nothing to choose but lose both the 1,00e6, And strike Plympton off from the Rolle. Qucen-Borough's cashiered, and Ma'amsbury Is a madam whom none will cherish ; Poor old Gatton the Reformers have spat on, Unheeded must Hedon perish. 'Tis plaguy bad fun for Okehampton, And no better for Bletchingly ; Yarmouth laughs wide on his mouth's wrong side, And the tears fall fast from Eye. Bucking-ham, and High-ham, are left not worth a d-, They're past curing, and can't save their bacon; Poor old Tregony's in his last agony, Bedwin (great) to his bed hath taken. Poor old Weobly looks very feebly ; Hindon's last knell tolled is ; New-ton, and New-town, are both looking down, And New-port is as crusty as old is. Midhurst and Ludgers-hall have lost their voters all, If voter therein there was any ; Wootton-Basset mortuus jacet, Procumbit Humi Bossiney. Wendover's web is now cut short By this Bill, so sharp and swingeing; They have taken the duties from Milborne-port, Reigate they are quite unhinging. Hazlemere looks mighty queer, Very ill is Ilchester lying ; Mine-head aches, and Brackley breaks, And Steyning is a-dyeing. Heytesbury hates the deed that is done ; There is mourning in Woodstock's bower; Saltash looks not sweet thereon; Beeralston is turned sour. Poor old Romney none now will come nigh ; Appleby none will taste; Poor old Fowey hath lost its joy, And Petei'sfleld is a waste! [Times.] PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

On Saturday, the gentry, freeholders, &e. of the county of Surrey met at Epsom, to declare their determination to support the plan of Reform proposed by Ministers. The meeting, which consisted of about two thousand persons, including the most influential men in the county, was held in the open air. Amongst those present were the county Members, Mr. Denison and Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Moberly, M.P., Mr. H. Drummond, Mr. Richardson, Mr. J. Palmer, Mr. Lee, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Leech, &c. &c. The HIGH SHERIFF having taken the Chair, stated the object of the meeting. Mr. MABERLY, as one of the requisitionists, addressed the meeting at considerable length. The Hon. Gentle man, after highly e ulogising the plan of Reform proposed by Ministers, confessed himself to be one of those who feared that the measure would not be carried.—(Cries of " No, no.")—He woulknot deceive them—he verily be lieved that the rneascould not be carried—that it would he deprived of its essential character in the Com mittee. If it should so turn out, he hoped the Minister would reject it with scorn and appeal to the people, and they might rest assured the result would resound from one endof Europe to the other. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving two resolutions, declaring that the majority of the House of Commons were returned by undue and cor rupt means; and that the excessive weight :of taxation under which the country labours was mainly to be attri buted to the corruption of that House. Mr. PENRYN seconded the resolutions, and concurred in the opinion that the measure must ultimately be carried. Mr. PAYNTER said to judge of the system, they should look at its effects—it produced greatness and fame. The British Constitution was composed of King, Lords, and Commons.—(A voice in the crowd, 4 ‘ No such thing— King, Lords, and Boroughmongers"—laughter and ap plause. )---He contended that the people never possessed so much influence in the affairs of the country as at the pre. sent moment. Let them look to the influence of the press —every speech delivered in Parliament was canvassed throughout the empire. The system had worked well.— The political horizon was now overcast, and it was no time to venture on a voyage of speculation. The Hon. Gentleman continued to speak against Reform till the im patience of his auditory became excessive, and he retired amidst groans and hisses. The ie ,, olutions were then agreed to, only Mr. Paynter and Mr. Perceval holding up their hands against them. Mr. BEST, after a brief address, moved a resolution,— " That the meeting could not sufficiently express its de light at the excelent plan of Reform submitted by his Ma jesty's Government to the Houseof Commons, as the means of restoring that House to the confidence of the people." Mr. LEECH supported the resolution. Mr. AUSTEN, after designating his present Majesty a second Alfred, and eulogising the present Ministry and their plan of Reform, gave the resolution his cordial support. The resolution was then put and agreed to. The Rev. Mr. COURTENAY read a resolution expressing the highest gratitude to his Majesty for sanctioning the proposed plan of Reform. He denied that the tendency of the plan was revolutionary. The measure proposed by Ministers was called a sweeping plan of Reform. The Lord Chancellor had also been accused of sweeping mea sures. Now lie (Mr. Courtenay) had often, as a. church man, disapproved of the measures of that Noble and Learned Person; but since he bad become Chancellor he had seen nothing of which he did not highly approve; and he hoped that he would sweep his own Court as clean as it was intended to sweep the other Court. He begged leave to say, that he was now a Broughamite.—(A laugh.) He was about to allude to a subject rather delicate to him, as a churchman. Pluralities were complained of ; and he was a pluralist, having two livings —one in York, the other in Surrey. If an inquiry should come, and it should be found right to put an end to pluralities, he would cheer fully give up his. Mr. MAXWELL said, if the salutary measure of Reform should not be carried, it was beyond human calculation to estimate the consequences. Should the present measure fail, the Constitution must crumble into dust. He would exhort every one, in his station, to assist the Sovereign to relieve him from the base influence of the aristocracy, and the people from their grinding oppression. —(Cheers.) The resolution was carried by acclamation. _ _ Mr. RANDAL JACKSON warmly panegyrised the plan of Reform proposed by Ministers, and moved a resolution, that nothing less than the whole Bill would satisfy the just expectations of the people. M. DENISON said, Ministers, by their Reform Bill, had imposed on the country a debt of gratitude they never could repay. It would ever be remembered with delight, that as the last William rescued the country from the Stuarts, the present restored the House of Commons to the people.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman read the following names of Nobleme❑ who had announced their willingness to surrender their borough patronage :—Earl of Radnor, Duke of Norfolk, Dube of Bedford, Duke of Devonshire, Doke of Grafton, Marquis of Cleveland, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl of Yarmouth. To this list was to be added two distinguished Commoners, whose conduct de served the gratitude of the country—Air. Russell and Mr. John Smith.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by moving an Address to his Majesty in support of the plan of Reform proposed by Ministers. Mr. BRISCOE said, the Bill they were assembled to sup port was wisely adapted to the end it professed to accom plish. It was liberal and comprehensive. He wished the petitio❑ of the county to have the unanimous signa tures of the freeholders, and that, on the carrying the second reading of the Bill, every parish in Surrey should testify its joy by a general illumination. He concluded by seconding the resolution, which was carried, with but two hands held up against it. Mr. PERCEVAL expressed his disapprobation of all the resolutions, and of the whole measure of Reform. Mr. COBEETT spoke in favour of the measure, and re joiced that bribery, corruption, false swearing, and the infamy that prevailed at an election, were likely to be put an end to. Mr. COURTENAY then moved a resolution of thanks to those noblemen and gentlemen who have sacrificed their personal interests for the benefit of their country, and hoped that their patriotic example will not be lost sight of by those who retain pecuniary influence in the House of Commons. Mr. H. DRUMMOND thought that Ministers were en titled to the thanks of the country for the measure they had introduced, and characterised it as a bold, manly, honest, and able piece of legislation. In conclusion, he moved a ♦ote of thanks to Ministers for propounding so advisable a measure. Mr. COBBETT said that the present Bill was, in sub stance, prepared by Lord Grey in 1797, and the whole merit of the measure was due to him alone. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. RICHARDSON recommended a general illumination, and that every man should exhibit " Reform and Grey" in front of his house. The thanks of the meeting were then moved to the High Sheriff, which he acknowledged ; and at half-past five o'clock the meeting dissolved. ESSEX. A meeting of the county of Es•ex was held on Satur day, at Chelmsford, to agree to a petition in favour of Lord John Russell's Reform Bill. Among the gentry we ob served Mr. Western, M.P., Mr. Leonard, M.P., Mr. Wellesley, M.P., Mr. D. W. Harvey, M.P., Sir F. Vin cent, Sir T. Ormsby, &c. The Ilion SHERIFF having taker the chair, read a letter from Sir John Tyrrell, apaiogizing for his non-at tendance, in consequence of being on the Petersfield Com mittee. Mr. DISNEY said, the chief object of the people's dis like and concern was the borough system. There were a great many persons whose property consisted of boroughs, and they had been used to get men out of gaol, and cheat honest creditors. In the reign before the last, there was a person in the King's Bench for an enormous debt, which he could not pay, but had a friend who owned a borough, for which he was made a Member, and he got out of gaol by an order of the House ci Commons. The advantages of the measure were, that all parties were to be benefitted. He concluded by moving the following resolutions Resolved,—That this meeting, impressed with a strong sense of the necessity of an efficient Reform in the representation of the people, views with infinite satisfaction the introduction of a measure by his Majesty's Ministers admirably adapted to restore the Commons' House of Parliament to its just and constitutional character. " That this meeting feels the deepest sense of gratitude and affection to our beloved and gracious Sovereign for sanctioning his Ministers in bringing forward a plan so fully in accordance with the wishes of the people and the just principles of the Con stitution. That this meeting pledge themselves to support, to the ut most of their power, the Bill which his Majesty's Ministers have introduced, and to exert every constitutional means to obtain its adoption by both Houses of Parliament. " That an humble Address to his Majesty, and Petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons, be founded upon the foregoing Resolutions." Sir F. VINCENT seconded the resolutions. He denied that the boroughowners had any right to compensation, and observed, that when the forty-shilling freeholders were disfranchised, no one talked of compensation to them. Other opponents of the measure said that the Bill did not go far enough ; but to them he would say, " Give this measure a fair trial, and if not found sufficient, it can be altered."—(Applause.) j o hi s opinion human wisdom cou'd not plan one better calculated to restore the Consti tution to its pristine vigour. Mr. NVEsitax said, when it was recollected Vitt in 1793 he was associated with Lord Grey and Lord Dacre, in endeavouring to bring about a Reform, it mist be sup posed that he felt great delight in the measure being sub= mitted to Parliament. Mr. TOWER said that Ministers had nobly redeemed their pledge by the Bill, awl it was the greatest public and most valuable measure, that had ever been submitted to the people. Mr. Tower concluded by reading the ad dress to the King, and the petition to Parliament, both of which were grounded on the resolutions proposed by Mr. Disney. Mr. SHAEN seconded them. Mr. WELLEstEr observed, it was worth remembering that the present Government had advocated this measure for thirty years, and it was, therefore, fair to suppose that they must be better acquainted than most others with the nature of the details necessary to bring the measure i certainly would have been to su p port t h e l ate G overnmen t, but nto he e h fullest e s t t h operation.—(Appl au se.) pt . r f a h t leo gaven . Appl ( ause.) His predilection d it his support, he would have been in trammels, from which he never would be able to extricate himself. And now, feeling that the principles which the present Government were acting were such as to deserve well of the people, he had become a party man in their favour, and would continue so till they swerved from those principles.—(Applause.) Mr. LENNARD looked with great pleasure to the passing of this Bill. __ Mr. D. W. HARVEY said the Bill, in his opinion, was the greatest and most statesmanlike measure ever pre sented to Parliament. With or without alteration he had no doubt it would pass the Commons and the other estates of the realm. When this Bill was passed the people would have no one to complain of but themselves, for the basis of this measure was to enahle the people of England to be come politically free. If it was asked what other benefit+ would arise from this measure, he would say, once esta blish Reform, and they would soon have a regulation of the Church. Was it to be endured that an army of 3,000 clergymen should have ten millions of money among them, all of which was paid out of the pockets of the people. —(Cries of " Shame !)—Let there be a clergyman for every parish; let him reside in that parish—(Cheers)— let him have about 3001. a year for his support; let there be Bishops, or supervisors, to examine into complaints, with a salary not exceeding 3,0001. a year, and they would then be able to have a national church at an expence of three millions instead of ten. But not only would they have a church reform—they would also have a law reform; so that the passing of this Bill would produce a useful church, and cheap and speedy law. The thanks of the meeting were then moved to the High Sheriff for his conduct in the chair, and the meeting dis solved at four o'clock. CHESHIRE. On Thursday last a meeting of the freeholders of the county of Chester was held at Northwich, to express the gratitude of the county to Ministers, for their wise, effi cient, and substantial plan of Reform. The High•Sheriffi Sir T. S. M. STANLEY, Bart., took the Chair, and briefly opened the business of the day, by reading the requisition. Sir J. STANLEY, of Alderley-park, Bart., next ad dressed the meeting, and ridiculed with considerable force the idea of the proposed plan being revolutionary. C. CHOLMONDELEY, Esq. was the next who addressed the meeting. His remarks were peculiar ; they were both for and againt the measure at the same time. He said he was satisfied if Cheshire could obtain additional repre sentation, but why do away with the boroughs, which had done as much good for Cheshire as they bad for the West India interests. Mr. Cholmondeley met with con siderable opposition in some parts of his speech ; in others he was assailed by laughter, and sometimes heard with the greatest attention. Earl GROSVENOR, a considerable sufferer by the Mini sterial plan of Reform, rose to reply to the arguments of the preceding speaker, and satisfactorily refuted them. He made a most patriotic declaration respecting his bo rough interest. He said he was supposed to have consi derable interest in five different boroughs; but in four it was entirely annihilated, and in Shaftesbury one Member was t .k.n away; but were the sacrifice tenfold as great, he would cheerfully make it for the good of his country. This part of the Noble Earl's speech was received with long and loud cheers. He pledged himself to support Ministers to the utmost of his power, because he be lieved they had the welfare of the country at heart. Re form in Parliament be considered as the basis of all other Reforms,—of the abolition of negro slavery,—of the East India monopoly,—and lastly, of that wrong to Scotland and disgrace to Britain, the representation of Scotland. TOLLEMACHE, Esq. said a few words in sup port of the Bill. An address to the King was unanimously agreed to, likewise petitions to both Houses of Parliament ; and, after thanks had been voted to the Sheriff for his able and impartial conduct in the chair, the meeting separated. A protest was afterwards entered against the resolutions being considered as those of the county, on account of the thinness of the attendance; but this was signed by about fifteen old applewomen, with Air. Chohnondeley, who is a Government pensioner, at their head. CAMBRID GE. On Friday, at twelve o'clock, one of the most nume rous county meetings we remember to have witnessed for many years (says the Hunti ng d on I n d epen d ent P ress ) was held o n the Market-hill, by adjournment from the Shire-hall, pursuant to a req u i s iti on , " f or t h e purpose o f taking into consideration the propriety of adopting reso lutions, or such other measures as shall show their deter mination to support, by all l ega l means i n t h e i r power , hi s Majesty's Ministers in carrying into effect the Reform in the House of Commons, which they submitted to that 'louse on the first day of this month." John Bendshye, Esq., Sheriff. Resolutions were agreed to unanimously, and a petition to the House of Commons was ordered to be presented by the Members for the county, Lord F. G. Osborne and Mr. t deane. Some discussion took place on a motion for excluding Mr. Adeane's name, in conse quence of objections he had made to details of the Bill, on the motion for leave to bring it i n , b ut i t was dec id e d t h at his name should remain. Mr. Adeane then begged to say, he should be at his post in the House of Commons on Monday night, as well as his Noble Colleague, and if he ever deserted the freeholders of this county, be hoped they would desert him.—(Cheers.) He begged further to say, the more he looked at the Bill of Lord John Russell, the more be liked it. GL 0 UCE S TEI?. (From the Gloucester Journal.) It has seldom, if ever, fallen to our lot to witness a more numerous and respectable meeting in our Shire-hall than that which took place on Th urs d ay last, upon the vital question of Parliamentary Reform. Excepting upon the occasion of county elections, our meetings here have generally been confined to party vi ews an d to party pur• poses; but upon this oe,:asion men of all political creeds and grades in society appeared to unite their energies in support of the great measure of Reform. Soon aftei one o'clock, the great room at the Shire-hall was densely filled, and W. H. FIYETT, Esq. announced to the meeting that the High Sheriff was not expected there. In his absence, he (Mr. Hyett) had only to express his regret that the High Sheriff was not there, and to pro pose that Colonel Berkeley should take the chair. This proposition was received with loud acclamations, after which, Colonel Berkeley having taken the chair, the meeting proceeded to business, but we are sorry we have not room for the speeches. It may, however, be men tioned, that the mover of one of the resolutions, W. L. Lawrence, Esq., professed himself a Tory, and its seconder, J. Philhmore Hicks, Esq., declared himself a Radical. WE Y. 21. 7 0 UTH AND MEL C OMB REGIS. A very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Wey- mouth and Melcotnb Regis, called by public advertise ment, was held at the Guildhall on Thursday, to consider the propriety of addressing his Majesty and both Houses of Parliament on the Reform Bill. The Mayor in the chair. The opponents of the Bill were very active in their en deavour to defeat the object of the requisitionists, by hold ing previous meetings, artfully declaring themselves " mo derate reformers," and using every influence and intimi dation to introduce a hostile attendance at the meeting. Both parties mustered in great strength, and the ball wal obliged to be propped np. The busi ness was i n t ro d uce d by Mr. THOMAS SCRIVEN, who ably a d voca t e d th e genera l principles of the Reform Bill, and its appli ca bility t o the state of our own borough. He was supported in an eloquent speech by ROBERT PENNEY, E sq . JOHN HENNING, Esq., in an address o f considerable power, oppos e d th e meas ure of approval which was befor e the meeting, and con t e nded that the Reform Bill not only depriv e W e ymouth of its peculiar privilege, but tnany of its voters of their elective franchise. He con cluded by moving an amendment. Mr. BEDDOME replied at great length, and endeavoured to show the positive and flagrant corruption of the borough. The question was put amidst a tumult the most in describable, and the MAYOR decided that the Reformers had the majority. Being, however, himself opposed to it, be allowed the enemies of the measure immediately to put their counter-petition before the very seat he was jus' quitting. Notwithstanding, however, all the threats of the bo roughmongers, the overwhelming influence of the patron, and the active exertions of a large majority of the corpo ration, the good cause is proceeding, and the signatures to the real Reform petitions exceed the others in the plc portion of four to due, William Williams, Esq., of Castle-hill, late one of our representatives, was present at the meeting, but not allowed by the Mayor to speak, not being du inhabitant, though a possessor of several freeholds. WARMINSTER, WILTS. A very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Warminster, Wilts, convened in pursuance of a requisition to the High Constable, was held at the Town Hall on the 16th instant. HENRY WANsty, Esq:, in the Chair. An address to the king, and petitions to both Houses of Parliament, in favour of Lord John Russell's measure for Reform, were carried by acclamation, not a single hand being held up in opposition. It was stated at this meeting by the Steward of a Noble Marquis (Rath), Lord of the parlor of Warminster, that the Noble Lord, though a borough proprietor, would not 'egret making the sacrifice if the Constitution required it. The announcement was received with great delight, and followed by tremendous cheering. 1V 0 R CE S TER (From the Worcester Herald of Widgyi) A meeting of the freeholders of this county was held this morning at the Guildhall, as convened by the High Sheriff, in compliance with the requisition which appeared in our last, " to petition Parliament in favour of the great measure of Reform brought into the House of Commons by his Majesty's Ministers." The attendance was large and respectable. Upon Oman Ricardo, Esq., the High Sheriff, taking his seat in the Crown Court, the Court it self and the body of the Hall were almost entirely filled, and amongst those present we noticed a considerable num ber of the leading and most opulent land owners of the county, numerous of the Clergy, and a fair proportion of the principal tenantry and extensive farmers. The hour at which the meeting took place, and the al ready crowded state of our columns, confine us to a brief outline only of the proceedings of the day. The Sheriff having opened the business in the usual form, Sir Thomas Winnington moved the first resolution, to the effect that the gratitude of the meeting be conveyed to the King and his Ministers for the introduction of the Reform Bill, and that the meeting deem it essential to the public welfare and tranquillity that such Bill, unaltered in its principles, should pass into a law. This resolution was seconded by Sir Christopher Smith. C. E. Hanford, Esq. then moved, and H. E. Strickland, Esq. seconded that an address and petition, founded upon the above re solution, should be presented to his Majesty and both Houses of Parham- An address to his Majesty, em bodying the of the resolution, was next read and moved by Robert Berkeley, Esq. and seconded by W. Welch, Esq. These resolutions were carried with the accordant and unanimous voices of all present. Lord LYTTILTON then addressed the meeting at considerable length, expressing his delight at having lived to see the day in which those principles he had through life advocated were at least to obtain a triumph in the wise and salutary measure of Re form brought forward by his Majesty's Government. The HIGH SHERIFF now announced the business of the day to be at an end, and signified that he should have much pleasure in complying with the wishes of the meet ing, by signing the address and petitions. The whole proceedings of the meeting were charac terized by the most perfect unanimity and concurrence in sentiment and opinion. G ORBAL S. (From the Glasgow Free Press.) On Monday evening a meeting of the heritors and in habitants of Gothals met in Dr. al‘Lean's Church, to ex press their approbation of the Ministerial plan of Reform, WILLIAM Drxosi, Esq., of Govan, in the Chair. [We omit the speeches, as it seems there is a dispute as to the correctness of some of the statements made at the meeting; but Mr. Bell expressed himself so liberally in favour of the newspaper press, that, in return, we shall insert his speech as we find it in Wednesday's Chronicle.] Mr. DAVID BELL observed that, although not at present residing in the Barony, he had attended the meeting as an heritor, in consequence of the public notification which appeared in the newspapers calling the meeting, and, till he entered the church, he did not expect that he would have offered himself to the attention of the meeting, as he was not aware of being included in the plan.—(A laugh.) In the great cause of Parliamentary Reform, all parties should lend a hand ; he was happy to be employed in the humblest capacity, even that of a " hewer of wood and drawer of water," and it was therefore with much pleasure that he assisted in the business of this highly nume rous and respectable meeting. It was right that the sen timents of the Barony of Gorbals, testified by so nu merous an assemblage here met, should he made known not only to the citizens of Glasgow, but to the world at large, and he was aware of only one effectual way of ac complishing this object, viz., through the medium of the press. Il e therefore would move " that the resolutions of this meeting be published in the newspapers ;" and as he was now before them he could not but congratulate the favourable g s t a w t e h i c o h f g t h a v e e great n c i a v u e s r e s a o l f c a R u r s . - e cause as the cutting o ff t h e represents tofmorenmereto.jinofgic6TiOnlingreortiletnitee‘tvnfhaae:boroughs.—(Cheers.)—For his part he might be permitted to say, that whatever plan of Reform might have been anticipated, there were none that ex pected that the gross number of the House of Com mons would have been diminished. On that part of the plan he would give no opinion ; but since it ap peared to his Majesty's Ministers, many of whom are Members of the Commons, and who should know the advantages of diminishing the number of the House, that part of the plan should also be supported.—(Cheers.)— The cutting off the 60 rotten boroughs has been done in capital style. They had all heard of a celebrated London publication called the Lancet, conducted by Mr. Wakley, who lately stood candidate for the office of Coroner of the county of Middlesex ; now, many extraordinary and suc cessful operations have been described in the Lancet, but successful as the most extraordinary of these may have been conducted, the operation of cutting off the Members from the 60 rotten boroughs by his Majesty's Government eclipses them all.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) Here he would take occasion to state, and he could not but look ' upon it as an extraordinary occurrence, that the Ministry proposed to reduce the total number of the House of Com mons from 658 to 596 —now, this was just 62, and if you take the 60 burghs to be disfranchised, and add the east neuk of Fife burghs—(A laugh)—this makes 61. It certainly occurred to him, when he heard the plan as stated by Lord John Russell, that this was rather an omi nous occurrence. Could this be done in order to enable the Ministers, if hard run, to stop the mouths of the 60 boroughmongers with one Member each, as they intend to do with the 47 which are to lose one each ?—( Hear. ) For his part he would state to the meeting, that had the Government proposed at the outset to keep the gross num ber of the House at 658, and left one Member each to the 60 rotten boroughs, as they intend to do with the 47, but opening them, the plan would have been re ceived with satisfaction—but certainly not with equal satisfaction to the plan of totally disfranchising them. —(lmmense cheering.)—Now, however, that the Mi nistry had submitted the plan to the country, and supported as they now are, he (Mr. B.) protested against one Member being given to any one of the sixty to be dis franchised.—(Cheers.)—If the number of Members is to be increased aboved 596, l et t h em b e a dd e d to t h e great counties and towns, but not one to the others, and this they should insist on.--(Cheers.)—He congratulated th e meeting that the barony was to vote along with that city for their two representatives. If this had not been the cass considering the great and increasing number of inha bitants in the southern district, (25,0000 he would have called their attention to the propriety of the barony, having a Member of its own, as Leith was to have.—(Cheers.) —Mr. Bell concluded by proposing "that the resolutions should be inserted in the Glasgow Newspapers.—(Cheers.) SPIT.ALFIELDS' TVEAVERS. This morning a meeting of the journeymen silk weavers of Spitalfields and its vicinity took plat, at the Camden's Head, Bethnal•green-road, pursuant to public notice, for the purpose of addressing his Majesty, and petitioning both Houses of Parliament, in approbation of the meavalcs re commended by his Majesty's Ministers, as to the necessity of Parliamentary Reform. Mr. JACOB BAY was called to the Chair. Mr. SAMUEL DEANE addreseed — tielneeting at con siderable length, during which he justified the necessity of the silk•weavers meeting as a separate body, independent of parochial meetings. The silk trade had much to com plain of respecting many Acts of Parliament that had previously passed the House of Commons, highly injurious to the interests of the working classes, which would not have been the case had they been fairly represented. They had also another and an equal important motive to meet as a b•dy_namely, that of not only testifying their allegiance to their Sovereign, but of conveying their gratitude to her Majesty, for having taken such a lively interest in the re commendation afforded by her example in the consurnp r ion of Bitish n anufictured silk.—( Tremendous cheering. ) ['hese were, he tho.ight, sufficient grounds for the trade to meet. Mr. CARPENTIR WllO addressing tl2l mteting rid en oir reporter left. Sr, MARY-LE-STRAND. At eleven o'clock this forenoon, pursuant to a requisition signed by nearly all the respectable inhabitants, a meeting if the parishioners of St. Mary-le-Strand took place i n t'ie vestry room of the pari,h in Charles-street, Covent vs' den, Mr. T. Robertson, the senior churchwarden in the chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly stand, that himself and brother churchwarden, Mr. Bellringer, haring been requested to convene a meeting for the important purpose of enabling the parishioners to express their approbation of Lord John Russell's Bill for Reform, and in support of his Majesty's Government, to agree upon petitions to both Houses of Parliament, that the same may pass into a law, they had most cordially acted with them, and had taken the earliest opportunity of calling the present meeting, which he (the Chairman) was proud and happy to see so re spectably attended. _ . ! Several gentlemen addressed the meeting upon the sub ject for which they had met, and a resolution was pro posed and seconded that a most dutiful address should be presented to his Majesty for his most gracious sanction to the measure brought forward by his Ministers, and that the Address should be transmitted to the Fight Hon. Lord Mel ville to be presented to the King. Upon the resolution being put to a show of hands the whole of the meeting held up their hand, with the exception of Mr. GREENSILL, the glass-manufacturer in the Strand, who declined, observing that he did not see any necessity for it. The CHAIRMAN arose amidst several voices, and was addressing the me,t:ng when our Reporter left. GLAMORGANSHIRE.—A requisition, most res pectably signed, having been sent to the High Sheriff of Glamorgamhire, he has appointed a county meeting to be held on Wednesday next, the 23d inst., to petition in favour of the Reform Bill. HALESWORTH.—A numerous and respectable meet ing of the inhabitants of Halesworth and the neighbour hood took place on Tuesday last, when a petition, ex pressive of an entire approval of the Ministerial plan of Reform, was unanimously adopted, and afterwards signed by 400 persons. NEWPORT PAGNELL.—At a numerous and res pectable meeting of the inhabitants of Newport Pagnell, in the county of Buckingham and its vicinity, several resolutions in favour of Lord John Russell's Bitj were una nimously carried, and a petition has been numerously signed in support of the measure. The chair was taken by a clergyman, and several of the resolutions proposed and seconded by clergymen. CITY OF WORCESTER.—Yesterday a meeting of the citizens and other inhabitants of this city was held at the Guildhall, " to consider o❑ the propriety of voting a loyal and dutiful address to his gracious Majesty on the subject of the Reform in Parliament Bill ; and also ad dresses and petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons, expressive of approbation of that most important mea sure, and that it may be passed into a law." Resolutions to this effect were put and carried unanimously.— Wor cester Herald. GREAT YARMOUTH.—An unsuccessful attempt was made here on Thursday last, during the proce , clings at a meeting of operative freemen, under a pretence of serving their object, to introduce, in an underhand way, a hole-and-corner petition—by whom got up no one knows. " The spread of revolutionary principles !" " The licen tiousness of the Press!" Confiscation of the property of boroughs!" &c., were brought forward to prevent the death-blow to con option ; but all would not do,—it was not listened to fur a moment ; hut 113 S since been taken for signature to a room behind Mr. Megey's shop, having a back entrance, where names may be received without trouble or inconvenience. Yesterday a meeting of the borough, publicly called, was held at the Hall of the Mechanics' Institute and Commercial Rooms, which was crowded to excess; Mr. Alderman Barth was called to the Chair. All the speeches were warmly i❑ favour of the Bill, and a petition to that effect was carried by acclama tion,—two hands only were held up against it. It is in tended that both petitions be presented on Monday next. RIPON.—A correspondent at Ripon assures us that Mrs. Lawrence, of Studley, who is in effect the pro prietress of the borough of Ripon, "has approved of the Reform Bill ; but as the Members (for Ripon) are discreet good men, she will not influence their votes, though she should be glad to observe that they supported a measure so well calculated to advance the best interests of the nation." The number of burgage houses in that borough is 177, of which 30 are independent, and the remainder belong to Mrs. Lawrence. Lord John Russell's Bill will include labout 80 of these. The number of houses rated at 10/. in Ripon is 283, but the number whose actual rental or value (which gives the franchise) is 10/. a year, is about 430. There are at present seven persons in the corpora tion who have votes; by the Reform Bill there will be 30, the other Members being non-resident. Thus it appears that the election will in future be in 00 persons, instead of one, and that the interests and opinions represented will be those of the people of Ripon, not of the proprie tress of Studley. So much the more honourable to the latter is her approbation of the Reform measure.—Leeds Mercury. CITY PETITION AGAINST REFORM; OR THE CORRUPTIONISTS AT FAULT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT OF THE Tnias:s.) An active canvass is going on in the city to procure signatures to the address against Reform, in the course of which the conductors of it, who are chiefly Kist India and Bank Directors, have met with some smart rebuffs, even in quarters where they reckoned on the most col dial sup port. A specimen or two may perhaps amuse the readers of the Times. The head of a wealthy house engaged formerly in the East India trade was waited on on Saturday, with a copy of the address, and his signature to it was requested. He expressed a wish to read it, but the deputation assured him it was quite unnecessary to give himself that trouble. It expressed those sentiments which he had always enter tained through life, and those opinions which they knew he could never cease to advocate. It was an address against that sweeping pl in of Reform now under consideration, which must he so destructive to all their interests. His reply was, that he would rather cut off his right hand than sign it. In vain was it urged how anany good things were to he secured under the old system which must now in fillib!y he lost ; they were met by the remark, that the times were now wholly altered ; that those " good things" must go,—they must be given up,—it was utterly out of the question that they could be suffered to continue any longer. In fine, the deputation were compelled to depart without accomplishing their errand. The nature of the " good things" adverted to can only of course be guessed at, but there is ample field for the imagination. The remark of another individual applied to who actually signed the address, was almost as mortifying as the refusal above described. He said, " Gentlemen, this is a petition in favour of corruption ; I have lived by corruption all my life : give me the paper." THE OLD LEAVEN FERMENTING IN SCOTLAND AGAIN. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It will be seen that, in the extreme North, the old ultra Tories are at their dirty work again ! In the county of Aberdeen the usual clique of attachs and employes (un der the present blessed order of things), who have grown fat themselves and brought up their broods under the wings of a corrupt representation, are straining Heaven and earth, and getting up hole-ane-corner petitions against Reform ! Their great and noble patrons near the seat of war, seeing the desperate state of their case, may have, perhaps, let it be understood that any petition, no matter bow got up,.in opposition, might do good, and accordingly we have seen all our thick-and-thin going gentry—all our prostrate political serviles—w ho wish no Reform, who have lived and thriven on the rotten system, which, by sending up some fire or six Members around us hereabouts, who sup port any measures, and whose voices are never heard save in registering the edicts of Ministers (till now, that a liberal Ministry are endeavouring to give the people safe, rational, and required freedom), I say , suc h an d such like are now at work, pandering to th e corrupt d es i res o f those great dispensers of the Rop e an d crum b s cas t to them by the boroughmongering Governments of the last fifty years for their venal support. These active worthies concoct the thing, upon the hint from afar, are going about, like questing sp iniels, influencing some weak beads, humbugging others—flattering this one, and threatening another—till they have manufactured a quer sort of bead-rull--not of paupers, but of the poor in spirit as to rational freedom. The thing, however, is too pal p tblr abst9rd--they will be beat, and are exposed. On Friday, a few minutes after twelve o'clock, J. LINNELL, aged 24, was executed at the new drop behind the county gaol. The prisoner was found guilty at the lite AMSIZe.4 of setting fire to a him in the occupation ol Dl r. T. Heal, at Shu tl nger. ...Northampton Mercury.
