SPIRIT or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Parliament is to be prorogued to-morrow (Thurs day). If the people were not anxious on the sub , ject of this prorogation, the enemies of Reform might, with some show of justice, affirm that they were indifferent to Reforms They have the utmost confidence in the honour and integrity of his Ma jesty's Ministers, and they are willing to make every allowance for the difficulties of their position. 'Whey know, too, the fatigues Ministers have undergone, and are not so unreasonable as to refuse to allow them the repose necessary for renewed efforts.— But they are naturally desirous that the prompt:son When not extend beyond the period which the health of Ministers and the maturing the new measure abso lutely demand. To suppose that people should de sire any object fervently, and yet be free from ape prehension till they obtain what they desire, in to know little of the nature of man. Every addition to the delay adds, of course, to the thence of adverse accidents. If the people remain quiet, they ere branded by the Anti-Reformers as lukewarm s if the excitement is continued, who can answer for the consequences ? We are glad, therefore, that Colonel Evans has given notice that he will this day move a resolution to the effect that it would be ittexpesii cot to defer the re-introduction of the Reform Bill for a longer period than a month. Surely in a month a new measure may be matured, and Mi nisters may have obtained the vigour necessary for another Parliamentary campaign. A month the people will readily acquiesce in. The motion will at all events have the effect of eliciting some more posi tivedeclaration from Ministers of their intentions with regard to the duration of the prorogation than they have yet afforded. The people are surely entitled to some confidence on this subject, Before this - notice was given by Colonel Evans, the manner in which the people ought to conduct themselves with regard to this question formed the subject of an in cidental discussion on the presentation of a petition by Mr. Hunt from an individual, praying that the Bishops might be disfranchised. Mr. John Camp bell objected to the petition, complained of the in jury done to Reform by pretended Reformers, and protested against the attempts at dictation to Mi nisters. Mr. Hume observed, "as to the obser vation of the Hon. and Learned Member for Staf ford, that these expressions of opinion were like dic tating to the Ministers, he did not agree at all with that statement of the Hon. and Learned Member, and he believed that it would be only playing the game of the Anti-Reformers if the people of this country were to lie on their arms as if they did not care about the success or the rejection of the Bill. Instead of doing this, he recommended them to use every con stitutional means of showing the deep anxicy they felt on tile subject." Mr. Ruthven,in like manner, while he deprecated violence, "trusted that all other efforts would be made to sustain the Ministers.' This may not be the proper time for overhauling the Church, but overhauled it must be. The conduct of the Bishops on the second reading of the Reform Bill, will never be forgotten. They have identified themselves with the boroughmongers, and the people of England will not easily allow them to part company. With respect to the particular petition, it was after wards stated by the Speaker,t hat there were objections to its reception on the score of privilege, and accor dingly it was rejected. Mr. Campbell, however, took occasion to explain more particularly what he meant by dictating to Ministers. He said he wished the people to come forward in a constitutional manner, but not to send delegates at midnight to the Noble Earl at the head of the Government, nor to address petitions to him that have been couched in such in-- proper and unconstitutional language as the petition now presented to their notice. As much has been said with regard to the lateness of the hour, it is but fair to take into consideration the general uneasiness at the time. There hail been a pro cession of 120,000 men of the different metropo litan parishes, the shops had been closed, great excitement prevailed, and the delegates, men of much influence i n th e i r severa l localities, knowing the extent of the excitement, and fearful lest a long prorogation'(of which they had received intelligence) might in the then excitement produce michievous effects, lost no time in meeting the evil. It strikes us to be puerile in Mr. Campbell to attach so much importance as he does to a breach of etiquette in se venteen citizens waiting on the Prime Minister at the unseasonable hoar of a quarter to eleven. They might have formed an erroneous estimate of the danger, but if they thought that the diffusion of the intelligence of a long prorogation was fraught with danger, they only discharged their duty in endea vouring to meet the evil without delay. If the in telligence arrived in a camp at midnight, that the enemy were within a few hours' march, no one would hesitate to disturb the repose of the Com mander. Mr. Campbell may be of a more cool temperament than the generality of people. Rous seau says, that when the philosopher hears the cry of fire, he opens his window, and, seeing it at some distance, instead of running to afford assistance, exclaims, shuts the window, observing coolly, it cannot possibly reach me. Mr. Campbell seems to have studied in this school of philosophy. In the Scotsman of Saturday, received yesterday, there is a paragraph on the effect of the intelligence of the loss of the Reform Bill in Scotland, which may serve to illustrate this weighty matter of etiquette : " The moment (says our contemporary) now begun Las one most gratifying feature—its instantaneous and its indispettable spordaniety. To the very last, men per sisted in believing that the Peers would not trffle with the unanimous resolutions of the people; and so universal was this impression, that up to the hour when the intelligence arrived, we do not believe the Reformers in any part of Scotland had formed a definite idea of what treasures they ought to adopt in such an emergency. Now, look at Perth. The crote of the Lords is known there at ten o'clock on Monday night —even at that late hour, a requi sition for a meeting is signed ; and at two o'clock next day, ten thousand persons including the whole adult popu lation of the town and vicinity, are assembled in the Inch, to address the King ! There was no pause required for de liberation ; no doubt or faultering ; no need felt of the ex• ample of the capital or other great towns ! The people were carried, as if by an instinctive and simultaneous im pulse, to the proper steps for the vindication of their rights. Dundee, Kirkaldy, and Haw ick were equally prompt in their motions : decision, energy, unanimity, were never more beautifully exemplified ; and the same spirit, the same seal, reigns throughout all Scotland, as farther accounts will soon make known, though circum stances cannot be everyw here so favourable for its in stantaneous display. Surely he is r. bastard Scotsman who is not proud of his country at this moment ;" Now, we do not say that Mr. Campbell is a bas tard Scotsman ; but if he had been Provost of Perth, instead of applauding his fellow citizens for their alacrity in presenting him with a requisition for a meeting at midnight, we suppose he would have read the requisitionists a lecture on their inattention to decorum, in approaching him at so unseasonable an hour. The people, no doubt, would have an swered, " An hour's repose, more or less, at a crisis like this, when the safety of the Empire is at stake, is of small'mOrnent ; and therefore we have thought it better to disturb You at midnight than to lose an opportunity of meeting without delay." Fortu netely decorum yielded to a strong sense of duty, and out of a population of 20,000, no fewer than 10,000 met in the open air, in the manner so much extolled by our Northern contemporary. Mr. Campbell may suppose he is assisting Ministers by reading lectures , to the people on the propriety of being more measured in their enthusiasm, more mo derate in their dislikes, and more indifferent to th e public tranquillity. he tone assumed by him did nor, however, seem very palateable in the House. Colonel .Evans said he should be wanting in his duty, after what he had heard, if he did riot ho nestly state his opinion, that both the spiritual and temporal welfare of the people would be better con sulted if the Bishops were riot to belong to the House of Lords.—Morning Chronicle. The Lord Chancellor, in the House of Lords, Jut night, vindicated himself from the aspersions ('cast upon him with regard to his appointments in , the Court of Chancery, and the Lord Chief Baron of the Scotch Co ur t o f E x ch equer f ro m the impti -7 tation of -wishing the gbolition of his Court for the (ACAPAIs.," ~~e 5i p 'sa'ke of the retiring salary. the conclusion of his speech was very spirited, and by no means calcu lated to put his opponents in spirits. It is amusing to Contrast the splenetic effusions of Sir Charier: Wetherell, in the Commons, in the eli!l'euss•ion on the last stage on the Bankrupt eourt Rill with his Lordship's remario. : Sir Charles said, with perfect sincerity to doubt, that he hopedthe bankrupt Covet bill would be the lait 'ernenda'tion of the law he should see from the tame quarter." " Certain persons . (said Lord Brougham) bad successors, these perrar:a did not much like their successors, and were net `eery scrupulous about matter of fact when they endea vour to vituperate and disparage these talixesSors, and to destroy the Government 'o7it i a whom they were con nected ; and the hostility was the more embittered when they sac', t o leasonable prospect of succeeding tbeir sue tesnit. Their position was, indeed, o.;eir t ress and dark and dismal, with scarcely the #:e'eolest ray of light to comfort them, or alleviate tte despair to which they were doomed. But x'e (cotttlnued his Lordship) cared less for this dark rsiti_on, for we were intent upon plans of Reform In the saw, upon plans of Reform in Parliamet'c, and upon pro jects for the advantage of oet '.;;,'n country and the general benefit of maxkind; alni the contemplation of these sub jects enlif;htene'a and cheered us in the long gloom !a which We were immured. But when t".•.:2;; were im mersed in that dismal gloom, ttf:y had nothing to cheer them, nothing to dispel the dark horrors of their position, except a dim. ttVialing, glimmering light, to show them the tray back to their old places. Under these sad and ;llamal circumstances, it was natural that they should resort to a little railing to comfort and cheer them; and hence we may account for then gross misapprehensions of fact, to some of which I have had occasion to call your Lord ships' attentioh." We are rejoiced to find his Lordship in such excellent spirits, and to sanguine in his expecta tions of benefittling the country by judicial Reforms. It is to bt regretted that the existence of the Scotch Court of Exchequer was continued for another year; and it seems unacountable that it should have been deemed necessary to institute an inqu;ry into what is matter of notoriety.—Morning Ciron. The subject of Earl llowe's dismissal was last night mooted in Parli , Arritnit by Mr. R. Trevor. Ii had been stated by Lord J. Russell, in answer to a question put by Mr. Trevor a few nights ago, that larl Howe having tendered his resignation, it had been accepted. This was a genteel way of stating that he had been dismissed, for no one could sup pose that Earl nowe's delicacy was so excessive that, without any external stimulus, it would, after the vote he had given, suggest to him the propriety of resignation. During the Peninsular war, our army was at first encumbered by a number of use less officers, many of them high in rank from thei, Parliamentary interest. The Duke of Wellington, who finds boroughmongering so convenient at home, was somewhat ruffled with the fruits it brought forth abroad; and in order to get rid of these officers, the story goes, that he set Sir George Murray on them, who used to recommend to them to apply to Lord Wellington for leave of absence, which was cordially granted for a due length of time. No one mistook the cause, but cour tesy required that it should be stated they had received leave of absence. People supposed in like manner that Earl Howe had only requested leave to resign, because he had ascertained that he could not be a'- lowed to remain in office. However, Mr. Trevor, like an individual to whom he bears more than a distant resemblance, was determined to find a mare's nest, if there was one. Last night he came armed with a letter from Earl Howe, which he was to make whatever use of he Red, except the insertion of it in the public papers. But it is inserted ! Aye but it is inserted by a violation of a standing ordei of the House. Mr. Trevor could not suppose that it would find its way into the papers; and Ear. Howe, that any printer would be so audacious a• to set the ordes . of the House at defiance. his Lordship in this communication, which he, tic doubt, supposes will excite a strong feeling of indig nation throughout the country, tells the world, tha , in the month of May last, and for the second time, he intimated his intention of opposing the Reform and his readiness to resign; that he received in re ply a most gracious command to retain his office, and a distinct recognition of his privilege of being per ftetly independent of any Government, from the circumstance of his being in her Majesty's house hold ; that he did not, therefore, resign ; and that nothing but the positive request of Lord Grey anil his colleagues to the King for his removal has bee►: the cause of that removal. That Lord Grey should request his removal after his vote against the Re form 13111, was only justice to his own Administra tion. The world blame him, not for going too fan in claiming the support of those who receive the public money, but for impolitic forbearance to wards them. In fact, the public money has been liberally expended in maintaining opponents to his Government. His Majesty never could suppose, when be bestowed his confidence on Earl Grey, that he could perform impossibilities, tha , he could conduct the Government without the support of those maintained at the public ex pence. If, therefore, his Majesty was under any misapprehension with regard to the nature of the office which Earl Howe filled, it was not for Earl Howe to drag this before the public in the in delicate manner to which he has had recourse. He ought not, in the first place, to have availed him self of his access to the Sovereign, to place his Ma jesty under the necessity of deciding upon the question. He ought to have known that his jesty had constitutional advisers, and to have con sulted these constitutional advisers as to the pro priety of his receiving a handsome income from the Government while he was opposing it. But having improperly extorted an opinion from the King, he ought not to have committed the additional impro priety of dragging his Majesty before the public. In fact, his conduct is treacherous in the extreme. No one can mistake the object of his Lordship. He had no more intention of voting away his office than he had of going to the moon ; but, like many other cunning men, he has over-reached himself. He thought he had sufficiently felt his way to be able to vote against the Bill with safety. However, what has befallen him will be a sufficient lesson to others inclined to act like him, that to take im proper advantages of their access to Majesty, may not always benefit them, while to promulgate it will only obtain for them the reputation of adding meanness to trick. Sir Liyam Martin is not the only opponent of Ministers whose resignation, ai well as Earl Ilowe'P, would be beneficial.—Morn lag Chronicle. This is a critical moment for the Ministers, and by necessary consequence, for the Reform Bill, and for the peace of England. If Lord Grey and his colleagues will exercise but ordinary skill and spirit, they cannot lose the stake which the nation has in- trusted to them, because the game is on their cards;—they have only to play them in the natural order. A revoke, indeed, may ruin every thing; but a revoke is never possible but from gross ne glect or actual intention, neither of which can, in the present case, be imagined. We observe that there are some persons who believe that the House of Lords may be conciliated by another Bill; but how ate they to be reconciled ? Their objection was the " popular" tendency of the measure—that is, its tendency to restore to the people too much of that which the boroughmonger.aristocraey had ex torted from them. Then, how, according to hu man possibility, can the framers of such ob jections be conciliated towards a new Bill of Reform, except by making that Bill less po pular than the preceding one, by so construct. ing it that under its operation the aristocracy shall be permitted to retain in their hands a propor tion of the national rights and privileges, which the old Bill would have bound them to surrender ? In plainer phrase, how can the new Bill be made more acceptable to the Lords, unless it be made less ac ceptableamreerlyala:rmanedd,wahleidn they or more e r e e a that to t h e Br i t i sh nation ? But " the Lords people tahraen fullyfo r tothceo bent upon Reform, they will retract their votes, and say ' aye' to Lord Grey's new measure." This, we fear, is mere delusion. The Tory Lords have seen long enough ago that the people were fully bent upon Reform. It was not in ignorance or in blindness t h a the truth was ever disputed: but the Tory Lords flat tered themselves, and still do so, that however bent upon Reform the people might be, there would be no doubt of theirpwn ability to unbend them, by showing on their (the Tory)side, a determination inveterately hostile to all Reform which should impair the boroughmongering power. " The people," said they, " are fickle—the Ministers are weak or hike , warm—the Court is a furnace of intrigues against them!. so stand Mit a little longer; the Bill is lost, and we triumph !" it is utterly childish to blink the matter. Whatever be the mode, or species, or variety of the application, some application in the nature of additional power must be adopted, or the Tories will laugh at the petitions of the people of England, or the arguments of the Press, or the most formal and best constructed measures of the Mi= nisters, with a view to that great national security. We, then, would earnestly, and in a spirit of hearty and true attachment to their professed policy, beseech the King's Ministers to beware of hoping too rntfeit from time or conciliation. In Our humble opinion, to give much time is to risk much intrigue; to conciliate the Anti-Reform Peers, is to revolt the people; to depend on argu ment, is to undervalue the force of obstinacy, and prejudice, and infatuation. There is nothing for it but to create, or call up, or secure Peers, and thus present a majority of pledged supporters. Eldest sons may be called up ; Irish and Scotch Peers may have patents for the united kingdom ; a few eminent professional men or opulent country gentlemen may have Peerages for life. Where, again, are the ob. jections ? Should the Ministers (we hope and believe otherwise) decline to adopt such a masculine policy, why then they will be beaten, and beaten by themselves alone ; and the people of England will —not wisely, we fear, because doubtless not tem perately—require tenfold more than that reasonable measure of just improvement which is now denied t hem.—Tinz es. To-morrow the King will go in State to the [louse of Peers to prorogue Parliament. The pro rogation will in the first instance be merely a matter of formality, probably to the end of Nov. but the ac tual time for re-assembling Parliament will be the middle of Jan. The prorogation of Parliament till after Christmas is an arrangement reasonable, necessary, and we should have thought unobjectionable. Inde pendently of various other considerations, the fatigue which all parties have undergone during a year, unprecedented in this respect in Parliamentary annals, appears of itself to constitute a sufficient reason why the usual respite, at least, from labour should be allowed. The Reforming Journals, how ever, rage and protect, and demand that Parliament ihould be summoned again early in November ! Rendered insolent and haughty by the court that has been so injudiciously paid to them, they doubtlessly reckon on compelling Lord Grey to abandon his present purpose; but violence, threats, and blustering we cannot but hope will in this in -tance prove unavailing. The anxiety of the ra heal Journalists is natural enough. They chiefly hrive by the excitement and agitation of the popular nind; and of course view with considerable appre oension the threatened return of tranquillity and se briety. They know it is only with the utmost difli r!ul'y that the embers of the flame which lately !dazed throughout the country are preserved from utter extinction. Till the beginning of next month agitation might be kept alive, and great hopes might tie entertained of renewed excitation, by the intro duction of another Reform Bill at that period. But the middle or end of January What is to become of agitation during all that time ? Obviously, we answer, it cannot be sustained; the public mind will by that time have become thoroughly cooled, and will be ready to investigate the important ques don of a change in the constitution of Parliament deliberately, calmly, and dispassionately. This will, of course, be a state of things not at all suitable to the purposes or interests of the advocates of the brickbat and bludgeon system.—Morning Post. The extract from the Supplement to last night's Gazette, which we give in another part of the Paper, will show that preparations are making for the pro rogation of Parliament by his 3lajesty in person. This circumstance proves that the King is firm—a fact which we never doubted, and which those that did doubt will now, we should think, believe with out any hesita6on. Nothing could be more judi cious, under all the circumstances, than the deter mination to which we allude. It will encourage the hopes and ensure the patience and tranquillity of the people ; and it will strike a blow against the plans and projects of those who may flatter theta selves that the cause of Reform is still to be ma naged by the same practices which in one instance led to its defeat.—Morning Herald. Strange as it must appear, notwithstanding all that has passed and is passing in every part of this conntiy, there are persons still to be found who maintain that the excitement, or, more properly speaking, the anxiety of the people for an effective measure of Reform, is dying away—that it is al ready giving place to indifference, if not to aversion. Colonel Trench told the House of Commons so last night ; Sir Charles Wetherell tells them so every night. But Sir Charles is a privileged man. Nobody expects political reasoning, or even an awi tude to the reception of political facts, from the jester of the Duke of Newcastle; and though Co lonel Trench, as the architect of his own reputa tion, has a right to choose what model he pleases, we would suggest, as a matter of taste, that he should study something less extravagant than the broad outline of Sir Charles Wetherell's asser tions, if he would build a character of sagacity for his own particular use and enjoyment. At present, however, the two legislators stand com mitted to the same startling proposition, that the people of England are too sensible to wish for such a thing as Reform. So say the individuals we have named : but let any man who has a character for discretion--let the Duke of Wellington or Sir Robert Peel, the greatest Captain or the greatest constable of the age—let either of them stake his character upon such a declaration at this moment, and see what sort of character he will acquire by the experiment ;—see whether the public will adopt his opinion of itself, or whether it will proceed to form a new opinion of him, compounded out of the gross elements of such a mis-statement. We could excuse the Lords as a body, barricaded as they are against common sense and daily experience by the forms which cut them off from the rest of the world—we could excuse the Lords for mistaking and reversing the actual state of things ; but that men who mix in society should say their fellow-citi zens are content when they are burning with indignation betrays a degree of weakness, or prejudice, or wrong-headedness, amounting almost to insanity; —and yet there are such men ! It is possible to conceive by what master passion such men are misled; but it would not be easy to suggest by what remedy they may be restored to reason, for they have already withstood the strongest appeal by resisting the evidence of their own senses. It may appear useless to refer them again to facts which have passed over without making any im pression on their minds; but we would defy them to reconcile existing symptoms with the imputed in difference of the public. People may talk of indif ference—they may impute indifference—but let them prove it. Take the two Houses of Parliament— take the Newspapers—take the daily conversations in all circles—and what do they prove ? Why, that long as is the period which has elapsed since the Reform Bill was first introduced, it is still the sub ject uppermost in every mind. G o w h ere we w ill we hear of nothing else. Di rect l y or i nc i dentally i t forces itself into all companies, and almost into every conversation. The Newspapers, even the Anti-Re form Newspapers, dare not omit it, on pain of being rejected and unread. Reform is to the political world what the air we breathe is to the world of nature and animation; it mixes with every act, and be comes, as it were, a condition, and even a part, of our existence. The common tendency of repetition to weary and exhaust the mind is suspended by the overwhelming interest of this one great question ; ' and yet we are told that the people are indifferent to its fate. But those who have eyes and ears, and will allow them the fair exercise of their functions, will not confound the silence of anxiety with that of indifference or repose. The people are tranquil, for they are full of hope and expectation—they are tranquil, for they are full of confidence, Fools may mistake or knasec may misrepresent it for indif fetenct t but it is that feeling, and that alone, which grows out of a calm determination to establish the liberties of the country above the reach of borough mongers and their adherents.—Norning Herald. Though both Houses of Parliament were up at an early hour last night, the discussions were not without interest, The report of the House of Lords, in particular, will be read with satisfaction, the Lord Chancellor having again found it necessary to defend hirtiself against the charges of a disappointed faction. After complaining of the impediments which had been thrown in the way of the Bill for reforming the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, and alluding to the insinuations thrown out against him respecting ' the appoietment of Masters in Chancery under his own Bill, his Lordship indulged in the following ' happy vein of irony : "1 find there is nothing so disagreeable as to succeed an other in place, except that of being succeeded by him.— (Hear, and laughing.) It is, my Lords, most painful to us to see our successors take our places, and it must be ad mitted that there is a great deal to make a man angry with himself, with the world, and, most of all, with the person who succeeds him, when he beholds another settled in his seat, and no prospect in view of displacing him and of succeeding his successor.—(Hear, and laughing.) For my own part, I cannot help feeling much compassion, • and of making every allowance for those who are left in that comfortless situation, without any consolation from present enjoyment or from future hope to cheer their bleak and mournful seclusion.—(Hear, and laughing.) My Noble Friend near me, and I, who have spent long years removed from office, had so many projects of Reform, so many plans of benefit, not only for all classes of his Ma jesty's subjects, but for all the world, to console us in our retreat, that our spirits never flagged, and Hope still warmed us with her rays_( Hear)—but those are indeed to be pitied who have no other warmth than the agitation of their own angry feelings, who have no other light than the narrow gleam which cheats them from afar, and gives them a glimmer of a doubtful futurity.—(Hear, bear.) This was a bitter pill for some of their Lordships ; and the worst of it was that, in a House convulsed with laughter, the wounded party were obliged to look as good-humouredly as those who could enjoy the sport. Curiously enough, while the Is' rd Chan cellor was thus engaged in laughing at his political enemies, Sir Charles Wetherell was tittering ano ther of his violent tirades against the Chancery Bill. It is pretty evident, from the temper of his late speeches, that Sir Charles is beginning to despair of the return of the Tories to power ; but he ought, for his own sake, to subdue time tone of his feelings a little more, if he would not have people think that his judgment has been impaired by disappoint ment.—Morning Herald. We cannot too often or too strongly impress upon our countrymen the weight and extent of obligation which we are all under to our excellent Monarch for his patriotic firmness at the present crisis. The cares :of Government devolved upcn his Majesty at a period of life when a love of case generally takes the place of all activity, either of mind or body, and which, as had been seen in the case of his immediate predecessor, time allurements of State are but too much calculated to encourage. But of these allurements our excellent Monarch has resisted every one; and not only so, but he has em barked in what must be to himself a troubled sea, solely under the firm and honest conviction that the wishes and the interests of his people require this sacrifice at his hands. True to his purpose, the King has never once swerved in the righteous cause which he has so nobly taken up. Assailed by calumny, pressed by affection, cajoled, flattered, aid even threatened, by turns, nothing has for a moment moved the King from an honest resolution once taken, nor will move him, we fully trust, till he sees, under the blessings of Providence, his own and his people's object fully attained. The King having, then, thus nobly done his part, it more behoves the people not to relax in their's; and this we imagine mainly con sists in their firmly, unceasingly, but peaceably, mak ing known their sentiments upon the one great ob ject of their solicitude. They are opposed in that ob ject by a body which, if united, is of no small strength. The Anti-Reformers may be classed under three heads—the interested, the timid, and the violent. To the first belong the boroughmongers, and those who follow in their train ; to the second those who are weak enough to look at all change as dangerous, if not revolutionary; and to the third two classes —those who are willing to merge rational Reform in their own wild theories, and those who look to tumult and disorder as the crisis alone compatible with their own selfishness. From all these classes it is the duty of every honest Reformer to keep himself aloof. The first are wholly irreclaimable ; the second may be won over by reason and mode ration ; and the third are only made effectually in nocuous by true Reformers showing them how small a party they really are, however noisy and pre sumptuous they may be. Now that the King's Mi nisters have renewed their solemn pledge that " the Bill," or at least the spirit and meaning of the Bill, is that alone which they will propose and abide by, it more than ever behoves the great mass of the people—which still happily forms the sound and healthy part of our community—to stand by the King and his Ministers. Let no impatience or dis trust betray itself. Want of confidence often pro duces the evil which it anticipates. At any rate nothing would please the enemies of Reform more, because nothing would so effectually serve their purpose as to succeed in persuading any part of the people that the Ministers are insincere, and are not, as they evidently are by the mere fact of being con tinued in office, strenuously and sincerely backed by the King.--/Iforning Herald. A report which has been often mentioned is again revived, of an intention on the part of Go vernment to take the different turnpike-roads into their bands; and we are now told that the experi ment is to be first tried in the county of Sussex, and that station-houses are to be erected at the end of every mile, where the road-menders and gate keepers are to become a sort of road police. This may be all very well in countries labouring under the scourge of despotic Governments; but such a project as this, which, besides a system of espionage, would carry the influence of the Treasury into every corner of the kingdom, is more than the free insti tutions of this country are capable of being ingrafted with. In short, he must be a bold Minister—a sort of Colossus of Roads—who would venture to pro pose such a measure. But that which would startle mankind, if attempted in the mass, creeps on some times unsuspectedly tinder the specious garb of ex periment ; and as, in morals, we are told to resist the first approaches to evil, so, in politics, the first encroachments upon liberty, in however plausible a form proposed, are those which ought to be re sisted. Besides, if we mistake not, both the science and practice of road-making have improved within the last twenty years as much, if not more than any one other topic connected with public convenience. Hills have been lowered, bridges erected, and such fi rm carriage -ways constructed, under the direction arid skill of Mr. Macadam and his followers, as render travelling a matter of such ease arid expe dition to all as even our immediate ancestors w ou ld h av e deemed impossible. There is such a thing then as " letting well alone." At any rate it would be the most doubtful and useless kind of med dling to run the hazard of upsetting that which is evidently proceeding so much to the benefit of a ll. What is really wanting is not any improvement in the great public thoroughfares of the kingdom, but that the benefit of the present system should be extended to the cross and by-roads of the kingdom, many of which are in a state altogether as disgraceful as that of the main public roads are creditable to those who have the charge of them. This is mainly owing to the negligence and supinenes of Magistrates and parish officers, the latter of whom, under the connivance of the former, actually pay out of the poor-rates to able-bodied labourers, for remaining in idleness, sums five times more than sufficient, if judiciously applied, to render every cross-road in the kingdom equal to the splendid causeway from London to Holyhead. This is the point to which Parliament and the Government should look, and not to a system which is to give us a Treasury myrmidon at every mile-stone.—Morning Herald. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. SUPPLEMENT TO 'TIE LONDON GAZETTE. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1831. Lord Great Chamberlain's Office, House of Lords, Oct. 18.

ROYAL DUKEs.—A Sunday Paper has dis covered that the Duke of SUSSEX voted for the Reform Bill because he is Ranger of Hyde-park, and therefore, as the writer chooses to assume, is under the influence of Government. But imputers of motives are fur ever in volving themselves in dilemmas. For if the ab we be cor rect, how came the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and Cu:lu- CESTER, who possess much weightier grounds of influence, to vote directly the other way?

MACCLESFIELD. pt (Abridged from the Macclesfield Courier.) k it The report of the rejection of the Reform the House of Peers, which reached this tow) e$ on the morning of Sunday last, was received ,t 'i a complete incredulity, notwithstanding that the p u , i n lic mind had been, in some degree, prepared ti t ' such an event, by our announcement of its Pt ° 11 bility on the previous day. A requisition to the Mayor was speedily preset for a public meeting, to take into consideratiot il l . l propriety of presenting an address to the liing' h •g assure his Majeety of unalterable attachment to person and Government, to express a.tonisho it and regret at the rejection of the Reform the House of Lord.:, and humbly to beg that hR Maj s•y would persevere in a opting such meastt;`. as might ultimately secure to the country a just 133 1f 1 equitable representation of the people in the C 0,1,1 mons' H 1 ' 1 ! House of Parliament. In compliance ' this requisition, which was signed by about 12 0 PY sons of high respectability in the town and hourhood, his 'Worship appointed a public Ire etkt to be held at the Gll ldhall, on Thursday at " 0 , when the r tom was, in a few minutes from the Or; irig of the de Ts, crowded to excess. Placardst,,, it most it flimmatory character, said to have concocted at a meeting of delegates from the vatio. branches of the " National Union for the Prote ct'op. of Labour," held at Manchester, in May bis t '! l whose desire they were then largely distributedy e r bearing the signatures of the chairman and secr ets ' of that body, had been posted in various poti g ) i the town at an eat ly hour of the day, with 9" ' n od tation to the operatives appended, to attend ' contemplated assembly. At the hour appointed, the Mayor, \V. 11 01 0 Esq., took the chair, amidst the most enthusin:fl cheerirrz, by which also the appearance of Sir ./° )0 Thomas Stanley, Par , ., Daniel Ward, W. B. 9 ' ( 0.1 inson, and T. Grimsditeh, Esqrs-, and other ‘" known R-formers, was greeted. J. RYLE, Esq., moved the first resolution- -- o r , " That this meeting has learned with the deepe st ' I P row, that the Reform Bill introduced by his illajegq',o nisters, and which had passed the House of Cos 1 1d has been rejected by the House of Lords; and th' t ;,4 meeting views this event with feelings of aNtonishate ot al.trm--with astonishment that a measure fraught %O re l much public good, sanctioned by the King, and sie v , by the general voice of his loyal suhij'ets, should have ct l so rejected ; and with al a rm at th e severe disappoin tr s which is felt by the people at large—a disappointmen t o b culated to create feelings of indignation in the public ro and endanger the tranquillity of t':e country." ipM W. B. DICKINSON, Esq., seconded the resold'd The motion was then put and carried by " majority, bat some noisy radicals and revolutiont, (says the Macclesfield Courier), composed o f A lower order of Irishmen, who disgaaced the o , e'',o by their presence, and who were stationed i".„ ' 0 1 , corner of the room, whence they kept up a 0001'4' uproar, calling out, " an amendment, an amendroe'f, a poor simple soul named Smith, the keeper " Tommy shop," presented himself for the Pu r P o re of gratirying their malevolence by moving 0" e v eth sonata with their wishes The motion, hove s'' having been carried, and D. Wald, and T. ° cl o d ditch, Esqrs., being in posses-ion, as the move r a il seconder of the address, he was requested 10 d he until they had concluded their speeches, an should have a hearing,.. iOO l DANIEL WARD, Esq. moved I he second re sell° for an address to the K ng, which was seconded T. GRIMSDITCH, The SMITH, before mentioned, the , n :We string of resolutions to the following e ffect ,! 1 4, 1 " That this meeting views with pleasure and deg,i the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lord9t (G eat uproar.) pee' " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the I.), ought no longer to exist !—(Cheers and increased tutn Majesty li',!

STANLEY, Barr., rose to order, statinkr, as a M i t .,,istrate of the county, he could not conflet/e0 to assist at a meeting where a proposition had I ' d tei i made that the Peers ought not to be suffereal exist.—( Gies of " Go away then," and great er i roar.) Whatever was said or done at that Plea, and in which he, by being present, %% 6 4 0 posed to take a par', he was bound to tell t- 1 o s there must not be treason.—(Uproar.) He it would be believed that he spoke as a frienu*,,, t ol Great uproar continued to prevail, in the 0 14 ite re tl which Mr. Smith, whose countenance, at the, P iii(ef; (ion of the word " treason," assumed a deaVforti hue, and whose appearance at the moment in' s ) cibly reminded us of the description of " t he 1 0 I happy Wight who drew King Priam's e urtair t ' e d (Ire night to tell him Troy was burning," ad vill i l i nt to the front of the platform, and, in a trenlll, tone, said, that as he had been informed the red I tions he had proposed were seditious, he s teri withdraw them. Ile then retired amidst the c"" and laughter of all parties. t JAMES RYLE, a joiner, stated that it was 11° 00 1 wain of a full, fair, and equitable repr e sentatio n( it s after 658 intelligent men had laboured on ! b , e ro vestigation of the Bill proposed by his M' t i e r i' j Ministers, by night and by day, for so long a P e c on' less than 200 were enabled, with scarcely On ni t deration of its merits, to throw it out in the 'l t ri° of Lords. He thought the address was as an ttr V accordance with the wishes of the people as d ' l n° s ble, and was an earnest of the unanimity political matters that was lik e ly i n f u t ur e to e lOO the town, between the hi g h er an d l owe r orrlel e . rie t The storm that had rag e d w i t h s uch vi art j throughout the great e r p ar t o f t h e morn ing, sf ," gn some degree abated by t hi s a pp ea l, but a P'per: named Lee attributed s e lfish motives to tho tions who were now enfranchised, and to 00 5 e sought for a moderate Reform, whereby theY ili w er ° become enfranchised, and said, that while theYoglill anxious to secure liberty to themselves they ej‘ipg, tobe willing to grant liberty to others.
