The principle was then as now boldly asserted and vigorously maintained that taxation might exist without representation—and what was the result ! A dismemberment of that valuable Vortion of otir territory from the sway of Great Britain.— If thllt perofciotii priAiple is VOmit s tell tii . gain ground nott , there is no sajing to *hat ektent it may go.— (Cheers.)

We have entered into a noble warfare—it is a warfare of u ight against might—of privileges conferred by the Constitution against usurpation, and may God in Heaven grant us the victory. I sscood the resolution.— (bsud cheers.) E. S. CAYLEY; Esq. said; Gentlemen, I rise to nose an address tel Earl Grey and Jill Majesty "s Ministers, tifgtiiteful thanks for their unfliching conduct, and Of earnest prayer that they will, under no plea whatsoever, desert their country at this anxious crisis.—(Applause.) Before reading the address, I will, if my health permit, and with your leave, make one or two observations.—(Hear, hear) It is impossible too deeply to deplOre the lamentable fate of the Bill in . the HOttge of Lords: hut I Must Cdniess that such is the Value I set up6n the attem, pering and conservative utility of that House, as a portion of the Legislature ; such is my respect for the warm and active beneVolenee donr citizen aristocracy as a body, such is my veneration for their inheritance of high and honourable feeling, that at thls.lnothent a sensation of sorrOw for the patriotic minority, oh account of the discredit cast upon their noble order predominates in my mind, even over the keen indignation I feel at the senseless, overbearing, and selfish majority, who have been the cause of it.(Applause.) We may cheer our selves, however, gentlemeh, tinder the prospect, that first thoughts are nOt always the best, and that those who refuse obedience even to slow conviction may be brought to surrender to a sense of shame.—(Hear, hear.) But We have greater re sources than these—we have more than one mainstay under the darkness of the Cloud which Is passing over Us. We have his own high and unconquerable firmness in the first Minister of the King.—(Applause.) Long may he continue such.— (Renewed applause.) We have the same great qualities in the King himself, joined with a higher prerogative. Shall not a patriotic King employ that privilege for freeing his people which has too often been employed for controlling them ? Will he not use it for the good of his people ?—(Cheers.) Shall we not implore him to use it--and shall we not bless him for the use of it.—(Applause.) We have, moreover, our ancient right of petition unchecked—we have our own determined union.— (Applause.) On these resources, and on these alone must we rely.—(Hear, hear.) It is for justice and truth we cohtend.—: (Applause.) Let us never forget that "truth is a victor with out violence."—(Hear, hear.) In these days of the conquest of mind over matter, when the mind of the mechanic is the god of his machine, let brute force—the savage's first law and only argument, be the last—the latest of the last of the resources of civilised and intellectual men—(Continued applause.) Be assured, my countrymen, the solid fabric of rational conviction shall tower to the heavens, when the proud pillars of Trojan, and the haughty columns of Napoleon shall have crumbled into dust.—(Hear, hear.) But there shall not be wanting a fixed purpose, a direction given to the moral energies of a great people, which shall prove to demonstration how true it is that " knowledge is power."—(Hear.) What a debt we owe to the spread of popular education, which, at the same time that it has created the reasonable desire of educated men for the franchise of freemen, has, amid the unexampled difficulties of late years, given so temperate, or at least so peaceful a tone, to their complaints. Let those animadvert on popular education who will, it is enough to know that " the learning of (even) the wicked (and I quote the words of the greatest foe to civilization—Rousseau)—that the learning of the wicked is still less to be feared than their brutal stupidity." —(Applause.) In illustration of this, it was remarked that of the convicted perpetrators of the violences of last win ter, I believe nine-tenths were unable to read. And how shockingly horrible was the massacre, by the frenzied fools of Russia, of about half a hundred physicians, under the mis taken notion that they had introduced among them that scourge, cholera morbus.—(Hear, hear.) The fools who strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel.—( Applause.) 'The scourge of their own wretched and unmanly slavery. I have said thus much, Gentlemen, on the subject of education, because I wished to appeal to your proud character, as educated men, and intelli gent beings, no less than to your morality as Christians, to allow knowledge and its influence alone to be the power and the weapons by which you are to achieve the mighty conquest of Reform.—(Hear, hear.) If wisdom be to govern, it can never be by the first and only instrument of savage ignorance. " There is no power upon earth (says my Lord Bacon) that sets up a throne in the spirits of men, but knowledge and learning' ;" and " the gates which steel exclude, re sistless eloquence shall enter."—(Great applause.) Let that resistless eloquence on the present occasion be your stern, un bending, yet peaceful resolve—(Hear, hear)—the dignified po sition—the commanding fiat of an increasing—an overwhelm ingly increasing—majority, over a miserably decreasing mino rity.—(Applause.) It was observed, Gentlemen, by the greatest orator of antiquity, thut the first requisite for oratory was action, the second action, the third action. So for Reform —the first is petition, the second petition, the third petition.— (Hear, hear.) What gained the repeal of the Test and Cor poration Acts ? Petition.—(Applause.) What gained the Catholic question ? Petition. What made a corrupt House 'of Commons vote its own damnation ? The power of peti tion.—(Applause.) The last words, therefore, that I would impress upon you are—Petition, petition! Union and peti tion !—(Applause.) And on each successive occasion, you may repeat the saying that seems to have been anticipated by a a poet of old—" Domini cavete, dum usque sinit, tua corrigite vota," which for those who wisely apply to the things of life rather than to the language of the dead, I may be excused for translating---" Lords, beware—and while circumstances permit, correct, 0! correct your votes :" for " though (in the emphatic language of Mr. Fox) resistance is a right which the people should as seldom as pos sible remember—it is one which the Legislature should never forget."—(Applause.) I beg to conclude, gentlemen, by moving an address to Earl .Grey and his Administration, that they should on no account, and on no plea whatsoever, desert their country at this doubtful crisis! if they did, though they have been, as we all know, benefactors hitherto, they would be traitors then ; for we are all assembled here in stern and un alterable resolve, to proclaim, in a voice which shall echo to the farthest corners of the empire, and in language which shall not be misunderstood, that without the accomplishment of their great measure of Reform, we shall never be satisfied : until their Bill become the law of the land, come what will, we will never cry content.—(Cheers.) " TO THE RIGHT HON. EARL GREY, AND THE REST OF HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS, " We, the Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, Freeholders, and other inhabitants of the county of York, whose names are un derwritten, offer our most grateful thanks to you for the patriotism with which you have introduced, and the firm m!ss and patience with which you have supported a Bill for the Reform of Parliament, founded on the principle of extinguishing the nomination boroughs, diminishing the expense of elections, extending the franchise to important places hitherto unrepresented, and to a greater number of individuals, and establishing a just balance between the agricul tural and commercial interests. We entreat you to stand to your posts, notwithstanding the obloquy with which you have been loaded, and to persevere, by every possible constitutional means, to obtain a concurrence of the three branches of the Legis lature, in such a measure of effectual Reform. We assure you that we concur with the great body of the nation, in a firm, dis passionate, and unalterable desire for such a measure of Reform ; that we will, by every lawful and temperate means, perseveringly exert ourselves to obtain that result, which is necessary to the well-being and peace of the kingdom ; and that, notwithstanding our present great and unprecedented disappointment, we are con fident that the time is not far distant, when the just wishes of the nation, supported by the prerogative of a patriotic King, and the exertions of an ably, an honest, and a right-judging Ad ministration, will triumph over the interested opposition of the few, and the apprehensions of those who shrink at the appearance of innovation." J. MA RSHALL, jun., Esq., of Leeds, said that the resolu. tion put into his hands was a vote of thanks to the House of Commons, and to those Members of the House of Lords who supported the Bill; and he had no doubt that it would have a favourable reception from the present assembly; and that they would show their grateful acknowledgements for the firm, tem perate, and deliberate discussion which had been bestowed on the subject. That measure was for the moment retarded; but it was only for a moment; if their support was but afforded in a calm, deliberate, and persevering manner, they were sure in the end to carry their point--(Hear, hear). The people had been ap pealed to on this subject last summer, and he thought that they had returned a pretty distinct demonstration of their feelings, but the Lords who opposed the Bill were of a different opinion ; they were sure that , a re-action had taken place in the p u bli c feeling, and thought proper that another appeal should be made to them on the subject; they would therefore show them that no such change had taken place. Who then had altered their opinion ? Was it the wealth and intelligence, the real aristocracy of the nation ? No ; they were friends to " schedule A." Th e 8 , cat body of the people could never suppose that the wealthier classes of society would separate themselves from them. The Tory Peers might invite them to come over to their interest, but he was certain they would not. Whatever exercise of the Royal prerogative was necessary for the carrying of this important question, he doubted not that every man present would sanction it with all his heart.—(Cheers.) Sir E. VAVASOUR said they had been told most properly that England called on every man to do his duty. That call was never more loud than on the present occasion ; and never had it been answered with more prompt attention. It was in obedience to this call that he came forward to second the resolution. _ . _ Sir G. CAYLEY then proposed a vote of thanks to the mi nority in the House of Lords. Mr. WORSLEY seconded it. Lord MonrETH then stood forward, and was received with deafening plaudits. After thanking the meeting, and apologising for tl.e absence of Sir John Johnstone and Mr. Petre, who had remained to attend their Parliamentary duties, his Lordship proceeded as follows: --I hare called this an important and painful crisis, and indeed 2 had hoped when I last stood in this yard, that when we next met, it i -) inuld be to congratulate each other upon, the success o f th e Reform Bill, in assisting which; you made gtich.thigillit ertions, and,met with such splendid sficceSs. X had hoPed that the voice which, , at the last election, was uttei e d tiy the people of England through all her large counties, and all her populous towns, and tihich was echoed in tnostgra cious accents from the throne itself, would hee had' its effect s upon the House of Peers, of whom I had deemed it to be tine highest privilege that they formed part of the people, and were constituted for the benefit of the people.—(Cheers.) In this hope you well lotiw vie have been most gri e v ous l y dis 4pbinted: With respeCt, however, to thsl On),(lcat of the Peers, I, as a member of anOther branch Of the Legislaiinte; will not permit myself to say hero before you; however tempted by the prospect of your s:,'Mpathit and applause, what I should have thought it my duty to refrain from riayi.4ig in my place in the House of Commons, I therefore suppress much that might suggest itself to my mind, and I turn from al gloomy and a n gry retrospect of the past, to that which is more prOperly the 1 5 r o:dtin6e of,all deliberative bodies; our prospect of the future.— . -(heeVs4 happy to think that prosh'ect upon the hole tratisfletori and consoling. Why do I sa;; , this First, because our gracious and stout-hearted King, mindful of the rice kom which he springs, and worthy of the people over which he rules, has proved himself upon this occasion, I may state what I know to be true, more worthy than ever of our confitlence.-Itrutiense applause.) I sly so, because the boveCiiment bAte iil4rtfullY determined to reclean their pledges, and at lohg at least as they retncin In i p tfi ce; never to abandon their determination to give td are people a full, fair, and efficient representation. And f Say an too; because the House of Commons have proved themselves Rqu illy trust-worthy in the discharge of their high and responsible duties.—(Cheers.) I do not not know whe ther you are aware of what tool( pIaCC last Monday,— (Cries of "We are not.") A resolution was moved to the effect, that the House deeply lamented the fall of the Reform Bill ; that the House was called upon to adhere to the principle of the measure, and to express its confi dence in the integrity, ability, and ttabated seal of the Ministers ; and this resolution was carrried by a rilajotity of 131.—(Applause.) Now, what have we for us: the King, the Government, the representatives of the people, and the people. Against us, is a majority in the House of Lords. We may be told the House of Lords is an independent ; ,-branch of the Legislature, and fully entitled to the unfet tered exercise of Its independent privileges. This is a true and undeniable fact ; but I would observe that the Crown is also an independent branch of the Legislature—( Hear, I bear)—and as I hardly think the Crown would think of putting its veto upon the unanimous votes of the two Houses of Parliament, so I think the House of Lords will hardly persevere in putting its veto upon the wishes of an united people.—(Great applause.) I am rightly reminded from behind, that even the single branch of the Legislature which opposes us is not united in itself ; and I own, however painful the contemplation of the late di vision may be, I yet derive a gleam of satisfaction, when I look into the list of those that voted, and see that almost every name connected with the history, and associated with the renown of the country, is ranged on the side of liberal and enlightened policy.—(Cheers.) Just consider, who was it who, in the early days of our chivalry, spread the lustre of the English name over many a well-fought field of France ?—a Talbot. Who was it who, a Catholic himself, headed the fleets of Protestant Britain againt a foreign invader ?—a Howard.—(Cheers.) Who was it who was one of the foremost of the patriots that first began to oppose the stretch of arbitrary pre rogative, and the licence of illegal exaction in tie reigns of Elizabeth and the first Stuart ?—a Went worth, the ancestor of my Noble Friend, who so largely inherits the talents and virtues of his race.—(Cheers.) Who was it that dyed the scaffold with his blood in the cause of English freedom ?—a Russell! Who was it who was mainly instrumental in organising the band that drove a bigotted tyrant from the throne of these realms, and placed upon it in its stead a deliverer, a patriot King, and a William ? It was a Caven dish.—(Great cheering.) Well, then, heads of the Talbots, the Howards, the Wentworths, the Russells, and the Caven dishes, I wish I could add the Herberts ; but though we have not the head, we have a most able and distinguished member of the family—where were ye all in the late division ?—(Hear.) Where we should most expect to find them, on the side of the people, in whose greatness they have so large an inheritance. His Lordship concluded by exhorting the meeting to be firm and persevering in their claim for Reform, and especially not to afford their enemies any pretext, by disorderly or intemperate conduct. J. C. RAMSDEN, Esq. another Member for the county, then came forward and said he was extremely happy that they had heard so .splendid a speech from his Hon. Colleague, and he should be doing them a very bad service to nullify their effect by any lengthened observations of his own. The Hon. Gentleman in a short but very appropriate address, expressed his devotion to the great cause of Reform, and said that when he offered himself for the immense county of York, it was not because of his con sciousness of his own personal merit that he relied for success, but that he relied on the fact, that his own sentiments -and theirs on this vital question were in exact accordance. He could not boast of having advocated their wishes with the eloquence of his Noble Friend, and some others whom he might mention, but he could declare that he had, so far as his vote tended to that object, given it his constant and undeviating support.—(Cheers.) It would be doing in justice to himself not to say that he had incurred some personal sacrifices, and should it he requisite he should be equally ready to do so again. —(Great cheers.) GEORGE STRICKLAND, Esq, was received with loud cheers. He said—Gentlemen and brother Reformers, in returning to you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the kindness which you have conferred upon me, in coupling my name with those of my honourable colleagues for the votes that I have given in Parliament, on the subject of Reform, I will not attempt to ad dress you in that burst of eloquence which has astonished and delighted most of you, and given pleasure to all.—(Cheers,) In that I cannot compete with my Noble Friend, but I will not give way to him or any other man in determined zeal to serve you on the great question of a Reform in Parliament, and so far as my strength will permit, in a resolution never to be absent from my post.—(Cheers.) In the support of this Bill, with one or two exceptions, when indisposition confined me to my room, I can truly say, that I was present at every division. —(Cheers.) Often, gentlemen, as you have been assembled in this Castle-yard, you never met during any crisis of more deep and mighty importance to the welfare of this county. Although history will point out to you, that on some former times, when the interests of the people and the Aristocracy have clashed together—when taxation has been resisted—unlawful impositions been opposed—a King lost his head, and a reigning dynasty been overthrown, but though I most firmly believe none of these events occurred during a period so big with im portance as one in which you are now convened. Fifty years ago, Yorkshire signalised itself, by sending up the most nume_ rously signed petition, in favour of this great measure, that ever was presented to the legislature, or laid at the foot of the throne. I mean, gentlemen, the petition known by the name of Sir George Saville's petition.—(Loud cheers.) Now, gen_ tlemen, it has recently been asked repeatedly, " What will the Lords do?"—(Laughter.) You have seen what the Noble Lords, and, moreover, what the right and most reverend Bishops have done. (Laughter.) It was then asked, " What will the House of Commons do ?" and I will detain you a very few moments in detailing what the real representatives of:the people have done, taking up the subject where the Noble Lord Morpeth left off; and then I will ask you another important question, " What will the people do ?"—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord has told you, with an emphasis and a power which I shall vainly endeavour to imitate, that there is much for congratula tion in the past, and that the Bill is not defeated, but only de ferred.—(Cheers.) The symptoms pf last Monday convinced me that the Bill will be carried, and carried, too, without the ex. ercise, or rather the abuse of the King's prerogative, in the crea tion of a great number of Peers. And I will tell you why I think so. The debate was not signalized for much eloquence, with one bright exception. I mean the splendid, the eloquent, the convincing, the overpowering appeal delivered by Mr. Ma caulay. Even though I heard Brougham's speech in the Lords, which was called superhuman. I do believe that Mr. Macaulay was not inferior in some brilliant part& to that delightful speci men of eloquence, either in the mode of delivering, the close reasoning by which it was distinguished, or the burst of that patriotic feeling by which it was prompted.—(Cheers.) This may not be exactly to the question, but I did it to gratify my own feelings, thinking it may not be unacceptable to you. Now what delighted me roost in the proceedingi of last Monday was, that the adherence of Ministers—the supporters of Reform —and the friends of the people, put on a bold front—(Cheers) — and expressed their determination—not so much by their lan guage as by their_manner and their spirit—to carry at all hazards the Reform Bill triumphantly to that consummation so devoutly wished by the people.—(Great cheering.) That they did not seem frightened at the majority of 41 Peers and Bishops ap pears to me matter of congratulation. So far from being dispi rited, they had evidently risen with the difficulties, and this circumstance, contrasted strongly with the appearance of the Opposition benches—Oh, what a lamentable falling off was there, my countrymen—(Cheers and laughter)— the enemies of their country, the opponents of their King, and the oppressors of the people, so far from being ele vated with their glorious victory—(Loud laughter)—were evi. dently at sea.—(Cheers.) You know that this sacred band, during the progress of the Reform Bill, happened to be led on by Sir Robert Peel—l was going to say the consistent Sir Robert Peel.—(Great cheering and laughter, and .t Aye ! there you have him.") But be seems, after all, to have been ashamed of the divided and awkward squad behind him.--(Great laughter and cheer log.) He seldom came near them, and frequently allowed them to be commanded by sergeants and corporals. — (Continued laughter.) By the way, when I say ser geants, I am cot far from the mark, for there are many lawyers amongst them.—(Great laughter.) The awkward and blundering squad were sometimes led by a Croker, and sometimes by that doughty Knight, Sir Charles Wetherell.—(Laughter.) And not nat. equently h7—trhom do you think?—the renowned Henry Hunt.—(Hissing a H n e d nr c:cering.). It appeared to me, that t..ey were in suc h a state of complete destitution, that that same personag e , Alac‘.ed piroge/f tt their head o u t o f s h eer compassion. —(Great 'ughter.) I thinr, there are symp toms to-day *by we shot&l ript,despair. even jet of the Lords. I have sometithei visited their tordships' House, and I am firmly persuaded that the Victory, the important, the celebrated victory of the 41 Peers and Bishop has not given even Chem much more delight than it has their nominees in the Commong.-- , ( Loud cheers and laughter.) On the hit day of the debate on the seeand reading, it was reported in every part of London, that Lord Whdrncliffe wag going to bring forward his plan of Reform, there was a Vast cUrio ,, :t7 to hear this plan, and curiosity was 'on tiptoe as to what it wad _to be. On the s ame d ay there was a large meeti ng,, of the viciorott.: Peers, and so much was . his Lordship's , plan admired, be lauded, and bepraisetl, & ±eport states, that he could not even muster one single supporid.-:-lihmense cheers and laughter.) Now, I say, this splitting amongst themselves__ this disunion—this perfect want of knowing what td do next is a i. , rtrf to my mind that they are no more pleased with the . ‘Jetay the y lia7r elbtainfd than arc their hapless Goad_ jutors in the.,Commo4—(Oieerini.s- When I talk of the cir emnstance att,cnding the debate, and of the rttetit Tt-ste of the Opposition, odet to sa'y that, While the debate Wag in progress, intelligence IVigs , ~ um nrtinica'ted which vastly lengthened the countenances of the opP ) olqen'ts of Reform. —(ltnmett,e laughter and loud cheering.)

"Go oni go on.") The Honourable Gentleman then said, that at' it was their wish, he would reply to several objections that lied been made during the progress of the measure through the flottse of Commons, during which he observed, that so far front the Bill working well it worked very ill, for the gallows itself worked well to evil doers, in proof of which he repeated the following hell-known stanza 1— . Two namesakes of late, in different ways, So laudably did bestir them; That one was transported to Botany gay, The other translated to Duritatii The Hon. Gentleman then said many of the opponents of the measure hid attacked the conductors of the Press in a manner the most fierce and unjustifiable ; but in his opi nion, never in the history of the world was the Press so well conducted as in this.—(Cheers.) Future ages would want no other history of the important events of the pre sent era than a file of the present newspapers of the day. Its influence in his opinion arose from the fact that the people were oppressed, and when their wrongs were redressed, a great portion of that influence would unquestionably be annihilated, they would not advocate the measure for Reform if they consulted their own interests in a pecuniary point of view, for when that species of information was exhausted, they would not have so great a demand for their papers. But the conductors of the Press were above such selfish considerations. They looked to the interests of their country, and advocated the cause of the people.—(Cheers.) He would never shrink from the avowal of his sentiments—the d;fficulty of rooting out the corruptions from the Lower House of Parliament, and of eradicating the undue influence of the Peeraee and of wealthy Commoners in elections, made him an advocate for the ballot.—(Cheers.) After some further short speeches, thanks were voted to Mr. Fawkes and the Chairman. After which the meeting, in a body, uncovered, sang " God save the King ;" and, after giving several rounds of cheers for Reform, quietly dispersed. The following were the resolutions passed at the meet ing:— 'lst. Resolved—That a loyal and dutiful Address shall be pre sented to his Majesty, on his patriotic sanction of the Bill for amending the Representation of the People in Parliament, and on the reception which the Bill has met with in the House of Lords; and that the Address now read be adopted as the Ad dress of this Meeting. 2d. Resolved—That an Address shall be presented to Earl Grey, and the rest of his Majesty's present Ministers, on their patriotic, able, and judicious conduct in respect to the Reform Bill ; and that the Address now read be adopted as the Address of this Meeting. 3d. Resolved—That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to the Honourable the House of Commons, for having patiently discussed, and ultimately passed the before-mentioned Bill, and also to such of the Peers as have voted in favour of it ; and that it is the most earnest wishes and entreaty of this Meeting, that they-will steadily persevere by every constitutional means to ob tain the passing of that 4th. Resolved—That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to our four County Members, for their patient and ener. getic exertion to forward the progress of the Bill. sth. Resolved—That these Resolutions shall be signed by the Chairman, as the act of this Meeting, and a Copy thereof be transmitted by him to Earl Grey and to Lord Althorp, and that the Addresses to his Majesty and his Ministers shall be eircu• lated for signatures throughout the County, under the superin tendance of a Committee, and shall then be taken to London, by F. H. Fawkes, Esq. 6th. Resolved—That the following Gentlemen be a Committee for that purpose; with power to add to their number, and to ap point Sue-Committees. 7th. Resolved—That a Subscription be now entered into, to defray the necessary expenses of preparing and completing the Addresses, and of advertising the proceedings. Bth. Resolved—That the thanks of this Meeting be given to F. H. Fawkes, Esq., for the active zeal, the eloquent appeals, and the important services he has rendered towards convening and promoting the objects of this Meeting. 9th. Resolved—That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman. Our Express did not leave York till nearly half past ten o'clock on Wednesday night, and having travelled through She meld, Derby, &c., a distance of two hundred and twenty-three miles, did not reach the Office till past six o'clock last night— at a time when our printers were engaged with the Liverpool and Manchester Meetings. The Cow. sequence was that some delay took place in forward ing our Third Edition, from ►he confusion some of the speeches were unfortunately transposed in the hurry of getting out the Paper. But for de lays over which we had no controul on the road, more especially at York and Derby, our Ex presses would have been much earlier in London.

WOW* LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1831. The fact to which our attention was yesterday called by Lord StlutsysnutY, that out of nineteen Catholics in the House of Commons only one, and out of nine Catholic Peers only one in like manner, was to be found to vote against Reform—is certainly remarkable, as a strong proof in contradiction of the vulgar error that supposes Catholicism to be essen tially hostile to liberty. The many respectable in dividuals of the middle classes who were accustomed to regard the Catholics with a sort of fear before the passing of the Relief Bill, should now look on what has been the conduct of the Catholic Members in both Houses, and satisfy themselves of the ground leeisness of the apprehensions that used to be enter tained of the indisposition of the Catholics for free institutions. The Catholics have shewn themselves to be on the side of the people, and that they arc fully alive to the importance . of improving, in accord ance with the spirit of the times, those institution which, in the days of our Catholic forefathers, wen devised for the security of the national liberties in an age altogether different from that in which we live It would, indeed, be rather too absurd for the English to charge Popery with an especial hostility to freedom, when they have before their eyes the mon strous spectacle of the bench of Protestant Bishops, by law established, mustering their whole force for the maintenance and perpetuity of corruption and hand. The whole history of the Church does not afford a more monstrous instance of worldly mindedness than the opposition of the Bishops to the reforming Government which the country is a t last happy enough to possess. They have acted on the principle which has brought so much calumny on the Jesuits for centuries—that of doing evil that good may come, to put the mildest intrepretation cm their conduct. They shrewdly suspect that Reforn in the State is a pretty sure forerunner of Reform in the Church, and so, to avert what, in their eye' (though certainly not in the nation's) would be a calamity, they have lent themselves to the rejection of a measure against which not one of them hat. offered the shadow of an argument. It is with pain that we speak in the language of seeming disrespect of the persons who compose the Protestant Hierarchy; but if those who bear sacred names, and profess sacred callings, refuse to support the cause of truth, and attempt to c over k naves an d jobber,. with the shield of religion, there can be no useful ness in concealing our disgust at such conduct. Those who abet corruption, outrage honesty; those who serve Mammon, cannot serve Gon. In the House of Commons last night Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in reply to a question put by Mr. TREVOR, formally announced that Earl HOWE had resigned his office as Chamberlain to the QUEEN. Sir C. WETHERELL'S motion for a Special Commis sion, to enquire into the late disturbances at Not tingham, was of course negatived, but not until the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had made one of his most signal displays of absurdity. The considera tion of the Bankruptcy Court Bill was again post poned. Amongst the orders of the day in the House of Commons, we find the Spring Guns Bill announced for a second reading this evening. We hope Mi nisters will allow this Bill to s t an d over t o next" Session. They may rely on it—and we throw out this intimation merely by way of a friendly hint—that it is extremely unpopular, and will wholly fail of effect. It is defective in principle, will be still worse in practice, and for one guilty in dividual that it punishes, will injure ten innocent ones. The incendiary will deride its terrors, for, we fear, he will be beyond their reach. Besides, there is something in the very name and nature of the Bill extremely repulsive to the feelings of Eng. lishmen. By the Prussian State Gazelle it would appear that the last hope of independence for Poland is at an end, as the shattered remains of the army have requested and received permission to retire into Western Prussia, and lay down their arms there.

He therefore hoped that Sir .1. Key and AltiorMap:Thcitirpson would be retsOnied.—(Cheers.) Alderman TROMPSON presented himself; and requested that the Livery would not sanction or support his nomination.— (lr._rressions of .disapprobafiDn.) Alderman WA ITHMA ft would not commit himself to any party. He ;Lae told that this question was one Pi public principle, but he was not fa he made a tool of by any party, and would not, for any consideration, stand as candidate. They were called on to return two fit and proper persons ; but what had been done ? When it was so necessary that all men should he united, 2,700 men had I-von branded as Anthltelormers.—( .. No, no !") He ssould not, then-fore, sanction any party proceeding by consent.. in g to become a candidate. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then, according to custom, withdrew. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then retired, and the Com mon Serjetnt and Sheriffs came forward, and read the names of the Aldermen next in rotation to fill the Civic Chair. On Sir Peter Laurie's name being mentioned, the Hall resounded with cheers and hisses. Mr. S'l'E V E.:s then came forward, and proposed the Lord Mayor and Mr, Alderman Thompson, amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. If the Livery elected any ether person than the Lord Mayor, the Court of Aldermen had beaten them, but if they elected him, the link House of Lords of the City of London— (Cheers)—would be aware that the Livery were not to be dic - - toted to by them.—(Cheers.) Mr. GALLOWAY seconded the nomination. On the name of Sir Peter Laurie being put in nomination, hisses and groans proceeded from all parts of the Hall, and hardly a single hand was held up. The cheering and enthusiastic shouti which reverberated throughout the Hall, on the names of the Lord Mayor and Mr, Alderman Thompsonbeingput in nomi nation, were deafening In the extreme, and the "hew of hands presented a most picturesqueappearanee. The SHERIFF then declared the two latter Ontlemen duly elected. A poll was demanded on behalf of Sir Peter Laurie by Mr. Artois'. and Mr. Ban Mew, amidst loud groom end hisses. Mr. PEARSON also demanded a poi/on behalf sir the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman Thompson. The Sheriff then proceeded to the Court of Aldermen to in. form them of the opinion of the Livery, but the polling had n it commenced when our reporter left at half-past twe o'clock.

REFORM MEETINGS. LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.) A meeting was held tesday of this large parish in consequence of two requisitions having been addrewed to the Churchwardens, signed by upwards of 250 of the most respectable inhabitants, Mr. Churchwarden Roaerersoiv in the Chair. • Mr. PAM, read a string of resolutions which were to be pro_ sosed to the Meeting. He said some mighi think them too strong in the language, but as he considered they spoke the language of truth he thought they ought to pass. Mr. COL LINSON Mooted the first resolution as follozrs ; " That this meeting hats learned with greater indignation han surovise, that the House of Lords has thrown out the Re- Orm Bill, alt 4 deem it their indispensible duty to stigmatize his conduct as the grossest insult upon his Majesty's Govern ment, by a handful, 9f imheciles, venal Peers, and titled paupers." Phis was seconded by Mr. GRADY, who presented himself to the meeting, and in. .lulged himself in a long attack on the Government, who, he said, v ere not sincere. He equally hated the Tories, and from the enour of his speech he appeared to think, like Mr. Cobbett, that only himself eould properly manage the State affairs. Mr. WARBURTON, M.P. gave his assent to the whole of the resolutions which he had heard read. Mr. SLEIGH considered that the resolution in the latter part /rag too strongly worded. A long debate then took place, when the resolution was emended as follows , all a ft er th e word " Government" was left ,ut, and " the people of this country" added, when it passed unanimously. Mr. NICHOLSON proposed the second resolution as follows : " That we deeply regret the practice of bestowing hereditary Peerages upon Judges, and that, notwithstanding their tithes, the Bishops should be permitted to vote, thus blending secular .vith spiritual affairs, and legislative with judicial, admitting them into the vortex of political intrigue, to procure pensions for heir heirs, and sinecures for the rest of their families." This was seconded, and also passed unanimously. Other resolutions were agreed to expiessive of confidence in he. Ministry, a letter of thanks to them was also agreed to, and in address to his Majesty. BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. ( THIS DAY.) At one o'clock to.day a very numerous meeting of electors of Southwark, convened by the High Bailiff, in consequence of a requisition signed by 170 of the most respectable inhabitants of the borough, was held at the Tewn.hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present alarming state of public tfairs, and of adopting such measures as might be deemed ad. visable." In consequence of the illness of the High Bailiff, Mr. ELLIS took the Chair. Both the Members for the Borough, Messrs. Calvert and Brougham, were present." The Chairman opened the business of the meeting by a very neat speech, adverting to the present state of the country, caused by the rejection of the Reform Bill, and trusted that the people would preserve peace and good order, as the means of ultimately ensuring the final passing of the B111.—(Loud cheer.) (We regret that a very great pressure of intiportant matter prevents our giving a detailed report of the speeches up to the time our reporter left.', Mr. LONGMOR) proposed the first resolution, which stated that the meeting viewed with feelings of the greatest grief, astonishment, and indignation, the recent rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, which had been carried through the House of Commons by a large majority, and which was grounded on the wishes and desires of nine.tenths of the people of the United Kingdom.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. TRUSCOTT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. LOCKE proposed the second resolution, declaring that the majority—the 199 Peers—had forfeited the good opinions of the people, as evincing a determination to support that corruption by which they protected their relations and dependents in the pos session of sinecures and pensions at the expense of the country. Mr. DAVIS having seconded the resolution, it was carried amidst loud cheering. Mr. AR PTHORP proposed the third resolution, stating that it was essential to the peace and well-being of the country, that a Bill similar to the last should be introduced into Parliament, and that to effect such a desirable object his Majesty be prayed to ex ercise all the powers and prerogatives which the Clown enjoyed. This resolution was also carried unanimously. £HIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, OCT. la—Wind S.S.W.—Arrived the Hero, Fell, from the Cape of Good Hope.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCAG Quebcc Papers to the 18th September, and Montreal to the 21st, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Quebec Paper of the 17th September.) Eight of the unfortunate passengers of the Lady Sistrbrook, which lately suffered shipwreck on the coast of Newfoundland, presented themselves yesterday to the Emigrant Society at Mon.. treal, to be forwarded to Upper Canada. One of them, a man of €0 years of age, lost his wife and all his children, seven in number. These passengers assert that the Captain and mate were both in a state of beastly intoxication ; the Captain, particularly, was obliged to be carried to bed by three men on the evening of the fatal calamity. The Montreal Papers contain no news of consequence. It appears by the French Papers that extraordinary exertions are making at the entrenched camp at Antwerp, under the direc tion of three French officers, on the plan executed by the Spa niards in the year 1500. The French Papers state—We are assured that the treaty of peace between Belgium and Holland has been decided on by the conference iri London, which has given to the King of Holland Limberg and most part of the Duel y of Luxemburg. at i t t;:yp, resentan d the the he y Funds are have soi ii im pro ves. .
