CHOLERA .MORBUS. (From the London Ga2ette of yesterday.) At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 20th day of Octoher, 1831, by a Committee of the Lords of his Ma j-ste's Most Honourable Privy Council. Their Lordships this day took into consideration certain rules and regulations proposed by the Board of Health, for the purpose of preventing the introduction and spreading of the disease called cholera morbus in the United Kingdom, together with an ac count of the symptoms and treatment of the said disease; and were pleased to order that the same be printed and published in the Gazette, and circulated in all the principal ports, creeks, and other stations of the said United Kingdom, with a view that all persons may be made acquainted therewith, and conform them selves thereto. W. S. BATHURST. The measures for external precaution for preventing the introduction of the cholera morbus by a rigorous quaran. tine have hitherto been found effectual, but as the disease approaches the neighbouring shores, not only is the neces city of increased vigilance more apparent, but it is also con sistent with common prudence that the country should he pared to meet the possible contingency of so dreadful a ca lamity. The intention of the following observations, therefore, is to submit to the public such suggestions as it appears to the Board of Health should either be immedi ately acted upon, or so far carried into operation as that, in any case, the country should not be found uninformed as to the best means of providing for its internal protection. To effect the prevention of the introduction of the dis order the most active co-operation not only of the local authorities along the coast in the measures of the Govern ment, but 'likewise the exercise of the utmost caution by all the inhabitants of such parts of the country, becomes indispensably necessary. The quarantine regulations established by the Government are sufficient, it is confi dently hoped, to prevent the disorder from being commu nicated through any intercourse with the Continent in the regular channel of trade or passage, but they cannot guard against its introduction by means of the secret and sur reptitious intercourse which is known to exist between the coast of England an the opposite shores. By such means this fatal disorder, in spite of all qua. rantine regulations and of the utmost vigilance on the part of the Government, might be introduced into the United Kingdom ; and it is clear that this danger can only be obviated by the most strenuous efforts on the part 'of all persons of any influence to pat a stop to such practices ; the utmost exertions should be used to effect this end. The M agistrates, the Clergy, and all persons resident on the coast, it is hoped, will endeavour to impress upon the pnpul ttion of their different districts (and particularly of the retired villages along the sea-shore) the danger to which they expose themselves by engaging in illicit inter course with persons coming from the Continent ; and should appeal to their fears in warning them of the imnai neat risk which they incur by holding any communication with smugglers, and ethers who may evade the quarantine regulations. To meet the other objects adverted to in the introduc tion, namely, to prepare for the possible contingency of the country being visited by this disorder, as well as to assist in its prevention, it is recommended that in every town and village, commencing with those on the coast, there should he established a Local Board of Health, to consist of the Chief and other Magistrates, the Tlereyman of the parish, two or more Physicians or Medical Practitioners ; and three or more of the principal inhabitants ; and one of the Medical Members should he appointed to corre spond with the Board of Health in London. Every large town should be divided into district., hav ing a district committee of two or three members, one of whom should be of the medical profession, to watch over its health, and to give the earliest information to the Board of Health in the town, whose instructions they will carry into effect. As the most effectual means of preventing the spreading of au7 pestilence has always been found to be the imme diate separation of the sick from the healthy, it is of the utmost importance that the very first cases of cholera which may appear should be made known as early at pos sible; concealment of the sick would not only endanger the safety of the public, but (as success in the treatment f the cholera has been found mainly to depend on medical assistance having been given in the earliest stage of the disease) would likewise deprive the patient of his best chance of recovery. To carry into effect the separation of the sick from the healthy it would be very expedient that one or more houses should be kept in view in each town or its neighbourhood, as places to which every cue of the disease, as soon as detected, might be removed, provided the family of the affected person consent to such removal, and in case of re fusal a conspicuous mark (" Sick") should be placed in front of the house, to warn persons that it is in quaran tine ; and even when persona with the disease shall have been removed, and the house shall have been purified, the word (" Caution") should be substituted, as denoting sus picion of the disease, and the inhabitants of such house should not be at liberty to move out or communicate with other persons until, by the authority oldie Local Beard, the mark shall have been removed. In seine towns it may he found possible to appropriate a public hospital to this purpose, or, should any barrack exist iu the neighbourhood, it might, under the authority of the Commander of the Forces, be similarly applied. Wherever it may be allowed to remove the sick from their awn habitations to the previously selected and de tached buildings, the houses from which they have been so removed, as well as the houses in which the sick have chosen to remain, should be thoroughly purified in the fol- towing manner : Decayed articles, , such as rags, cordage, papers, old clothes, hangings, should be burnt ; filth of every de scription removed ; clothing and furniture should be sub mitted to copious effusions of water, and boiled in a strong Jey ; drains and privies thoroughly cleansed by streams of water and chloride of lime; ablution of wood work should be performed by a strong ley of soap and water ; the walls of the house, from the cellar to the girret, should be hot lime-washed ; all loose and decay ed pieces of plas. teriog should be removed. Free and continued admission of fresh air to all parts of the house and furniture should be enjoined for at least a week. It is impossible to impress too strongly the necessity of extreme cleanliness and free ventilation ; they are points of the very greatest importance, whether in the houses of the sick. or generally as a measure of precaution. It is recommended that those who may fall victims to this formidable disease should be buried in a detached ground in the vicinity of the house that may have been selected for the reception of cholera patients. By this regulation it is intended to confine as much as possible every source of infection to one spot : on the same princi ple, all persons who may be employed in the removal of the sick from their own hou , es, as well as those who may attend upon cholera patients in the capacity of nurses, should live apart from the rest of the community. It should here be observed, that the fewer the number of persons employed in these duties the better, as then the chance of spreading the infection by their means will be diminished, . . . Wherever objections arise to the remora! of the sick from the healthy, or other cause exist to resider such a step not advisable, the same prospect of success in ex tinguishing the seeds of the pestilence cannot be expected. Much, however, may be done even in these difficult circumstances by following the same principles of prudence, and by avoiding all unnecessary communication with the public out of doors; all articles of food, or other neces saries required by the family, should be placed in front of the house, and received by one of the inhabitants of the house after the person delivering them shall have retired. Until the time during which the contagion of cholera lies dormant in the human frame has been more accurately ascertained, it will be necessary, for the sake of perfect security, that convalescence from the disease, and those who have had any communication with them, should be kept under observation for a period of pot less than twenty days. The occupiers of each house where the disease may occur, or be supposed to have occurred, are enjoined to report the fact immediately to the Local Board of Health in the town where they reside, in order that the profes sional member of such Board may immediately visit, re port, and, if permitted to do so, cause the patient to be removed to the place allotted for the sick. _ _ In every town the name and residence of etch of the members of the district Committee should he fixed on the doors of the church, or other conspicuous place. All intercourse with any infected town, and the neigh bouring country, must be prevented by the best means within the power of the magistrates, who will have to make regulations for the supply of provisions ; but such regula tions are intended only for extreme cases ; and the diffi culty of carrying such a plan into effect on any extended scale will undoubtedly be great; but, as a precaution of great importance, it is most essential that it should be an object of consideration, in order to guard against the spreading of infection. Other measures, of a more coercive nature, may be ren dered .expedient for the common safety, if unfortunately so htal a disease should ever show itself in this country in the terride fogy in which it has appeared in various parts of Europe .; ansi it m ay become necessarq to draw troops, urea strong hay a po lice, around infected places, so a utterly to exclude the uababitants from all intercourse with the country ; and we feel sure what is demanded for the common safety of the State will always be acquies ced in with a willing loubm iss io n to the necessity which nu- poses it. The Board partioilailv invitee attention to a Lid cp firmed by all the communications received from abroad, viz. that the poor, ill-fed, and unhealthy part of the population, and especially those who have been addicted to drinking spirituous liquors and indulgence in irregular habits, have been the greatest sufferers from this disease, and that the infection has been most virulent, and has spread rapidly and extensively, in the district of towns where the streets are narrow and the population crowded, and where little or no attention has been paid to cleanliness and ventila tion. They are aware of the difficulty of removing the evils referred to, but they trust that attention thus awakened will ensure the most active endeavours of ail Magistrates, resident Clergymen, and persons of influence and authority, to promote their mitigation, and as the amount of danger and the necessity of precaution may be come the more apparent, they will look with increased confidence to the individual exertions of those who may he enabled to employ them beneficially in furtherance of the suggestions above stated. BOARD OF HEALTH, COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS, OCT. 20, 1831. The following are the early symptoms of the disease in its most marked form, as it occurred to the observation of Dr. Russell and Dr. Barry, at St. Petersburgb, corro barated by the accounts from other places where the disease has prevailed : Giddiness, sick stomach, nervous agitation, intermit'ent, slow, or small pulse, cramps beginning at the tops of the fingers and toes, and rapidly approaching the trunk, give the first warning. Vomiting or purging, or both these evacuations of a liquid like rice-water or whey. or barley-water, come on ; the features become sharp and contracted, the eye sinks, the look is expressive of terror and wildness ; the lips, face, neck, hands, and feet, and soon after the thighs, arms, and whole surface, assume a leaden, blue, purple, black, or deep brown tint, according to the complexion of the indi vidual, varying in shade with the intensity of the attack. The fingers and toes are reduced in size ; the skin and soft parts covering them are wrinkled, shrivelled, and folded; the nails put on a bluish pearly white ; the larger super ficial veins are marked by flat lines of a deeper black ; the pulse becomes either small as a thread, and scarcely vi brating, or else totally extinct. The skin is deadly cold and often damp ; the tongue always moist, often white and loaded, but flabby and chilled like a piece of dead flesh. The voice is nearly gone ; the respiration quick, irregular, and imperfectly performed. The patient speaks in a whisper. He struggles for breath, and often lays his hand on his heart to point out the seat of his distress. Sometimes there are rigid spasms of the legs, thighs, and loins. The secretion of urine is totally suspended; vomiting and purging!, which are far from being the most important and dangerous symptoms, and which in a very great number of cases of the disease have not been profuse, or have been arrested by medicine early in the attack, succeed. It is evident that the most urgent and peculiar symp tom of this disease is the sudden depression of the vital powers : proved by the diminished action of the heart, the coldness of the surface and extremities, and the stag nant state of the whole circulation. It is important to ad vert to this fact, as pointing out the instant measures which may safely and beneficially be employed where medical aid cannot immediately be procured. All means tending to restore the circulation and maintain the warmth of the body should be had recourse to without delay. The pa tients should always immediately be put to bed, wrapt up in hot blankets, and warmth should be sustained by other external applications, such as repeated frictions with flan nels and camphorated spirits; poultices of mustard and linseed (equal parts) to the stomach, particularly where pain and vomiting exist; similar poultices to the feet and legs, to restore their warmth. The returning heat of the body may be promoted by bags containing hot salt or bran ap plied to different parts of it. For the same purpose of re storing and sustaining the circulation, white wine whey, with spice, hot brandy and water, or sal volatile, in the dose of a tea-spoonful in hot water, frequently repeated, or from five to twenty drops of some of the essential oils, as peppermint, clove, or cajeput, in a wine glass of water, may be administered ; with the same view, where the stomach will bear it, warm broth with spice may be em ployed. In very severe cases, or where medical aid is difficult to be obtained, from twenty to forty drops of laudanum nay be given in any of the warm drinks pre viously recommended. 'These simple meams are proposed as resources in the in cipient stage of the disease, where medical aid has net yet been obtained. In reference to the further means to be adopted in the treatment of this disease, it is necessary to state that no specific remedy has yet been ascertained ; nor has any plan of cure been sufficiently commended by success to warrant its express recommendation from authority. The Board have already published a detailed statement of the methods of treatment adopted in India, and of the different opinions entertained as to the use of bleeding, calomel, opium, &c. There is reason to believe that more information on this subject may be obtained from those parts a the Continent where the disease is now prevailing; but even should it be otherwise, the greatest confidence may be reposed in the intelligence and real which the medical practitioners of th 7 s country will employ in establishing an appropriate method of cure. HENRY HALFORD, President of the Board. EDINBURGH. STATE OF PUBLIC FEELING. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) GREAT REFORM MEETING. On Wednesday, the 19th instant, the Edinburgh Poli tical Union, embracing the most respectable, intelligent, wealthy, and influential inhabitants of our northern me tropolis, held at St. Ann's-yards, in the King's Park, their first general public meeting, for the purpose of ex pressing, at the present political crisis, their enthusiastic loyalty to their patriotic Sovereign, their unabated confi dence in his Ministers, and their sincere and undiminished attachment to the principles and provisions of the Reform Bill. At two o'clock a vast concourse of people, amount• ing to at least 20,000 persons, had assembled, and Mr. Beonie having been called to the chair, Mr. WEIR addressed the meeting. He said they were assembled, not to make or hear long speeches, tl ey bad met in that dark hour again to avow their adherence to those great political principles which they had lately, full of hope, avowed to the House of Lords. He called it a dark hour, and such, indeed, it was, for there was at that moment no man who loved his country, that did not lock hack to the past with indignation, and to the future with fearful anticipation.—( Hear.) When he contemplated the past, he saw that his country, for well nigh a century, had been governed by an incapable, interested, grasping oligarchy, who had proved themselves more anxious to increase their own wealth and secure their own interests, in defiance of, and in opposition to the general good of the people. The cry of Reform, however, had been raised again and again until every ninety-nine in the hundred of their country's population had been convinced of its absolute necessity. The most enlightened and popular Ministry that had ever existed had devised a plan calculated to ensure to the people their undoubted constitutional potential voice in the representation—that plan had been adopted, approved of, and applauded by the voice of a unanimous nation ; it was passed by a large majority of the purest House of Commons that had ever assembled in St. Stephen's, but when it came to the House of Peers it had been unceremoniously re jected. The House had refused to entertain it, and would not even discuss its details in Committee, or condescend upon the question whether the people had a right to a voice in the elections of their representatives.—(Loud ex pressions of elicppointment, and cries of "Shame, shame.") In circumstance s like the re he would say again that no man who truly loved his country would feel otherwise then influenced by a deep and determined spirit of indig nation,..,-(Cheers.) And then when he looked to the consequences of such an unfortunate state of things, and looked forward to the future, what was to be seen ? The House of Commons had itself declared that it did not re present the people. The House of Lords had refused to grant such a House of Commons as would represent them, and had eonriernned one of the three great branches of the Legislature to a state pf suspended animation, coldly and proudly too at a moment icitipb, in a national and com mercial point of view, was most crit;cal, when the capi talists had withdrawn their money, and whcn the labori ous, industrious, honest operatives were all but destitute of productive * emplopnent.—(Cheers.) At a moment which of all others in our Laistnry imperatively demanded a Government having the confidence of the people, had the House of Lords exposed the country in that anomalous and dangerous ataZe jo which one of the legislative bodies could not conscientiously ect, to a rate of anarchy and confusion.—(Loud cheers.) 'the only question that remained, related to the course which, in finch circum stances, -should he adopted by the unanimous nation. There was only one epoise to be pursued—keeping within the strict bounds of legal pvt?oydjnation, again to avow their resolution, through all perplexitios and difficulties, to stand fast to the great measure of Parliamentary &form which the Peershad most unwisely and unceremoniously rejected, in sisting upon the extermination of all rotten nomination bo roughs,the enfranchisement of hitherto unrepres e nt e d, or on l Y partially represented, large manufacturi ng t owns and di s- trial; to do all t'nis with unremitting zeal, firmness, and constitutional energy, until, with the Bill for their banner, their King and his Ministers, while true to their cause, marching at their head, the battle of Reform and political integrity was won by the triumphant exertions of a free and enlightened public.—(Loud cheers.) If calmly and resolutely, yet in obedience to the law, they acted thus, the ground on which they stood ensured the people a glo rious conquest.—(Cheers.) From the brow of the sur rounding rocks they beheld the place where the banner of the Covenant was struck down in unequal conflict; but a few years afterwards that banner was again reared, and the triumphant blow was struck in its defence, because it was planted in the hearts of the people.—(Cheers.) At the base of the impending crags had the last of the Pretenders encamped while in Edinburgh, and in spite of military force, although he swept through the land like a storm, yet because the hearts of the people were not with him, his force dwindled away and he was soon left helpless and alone.— (Loud and continued cheering ) The people were then to be resolute in asserting their ho nest constitutional rights ; and although even in this me thod of acting it might be said they were endeavouring to force the House of Lords to yield to popular outcry, let the nation plead the conduct of their own bright ancestors at Runnymede. King John did not grant the Magna Charta with good will, nor, in 1688, did King James so willingly leave the throne, but yet, upon those two great points did hang at this moment all our dear constitutional rights and liberties.—(Cheers.) The nation's voice raised unequivocally, constitutionally, energetically, would, however, have far more influence than all the armed array of the Barons at Runnymede,— (Cheers.) He would propose for the adoption of the meet ing the following resolution : " That the people of this country, unalterably resolved on exerting all constitutional means for the attainment of an effici_ ent Reform, had rested their hopes on the success of the Bill which, passed by the Commons' House, has been rejected by the Lords; and that intelligence of the disastrous event has every where excited inexpressible feelings of disappointment, sorrow, and indignation." _ _ _ Mr. PRENTICE seconded the resolution. It was one from which he felt assured few could withhold their cor dial assent.—(Cheers.) It stated that the people were disappointed, that they were sorrowful, and, truly, also that they were indignant. Was there one in that vast assembly who did not feel disappointed at the loss of a measure on which he had founded his hope of being duly invested with those principles which were his undeniable birthright, and of being able to shake off those myriads of leeches which had for so many long years sucked his country's best heart's blood—(Cheers)—that redoubtable host of sinecurists and pensioners who battened upon the produce of his toil and industry, but who while they lived by his labour despised and scorned him?—(Loud cheers.) Was there one to be found who was not sorry that the misery which delay had already occasioned was to be pro longed and increased ; or was there any who believed that the stagnation of public business, which for months had already existed in every quarter, would cease, and business become more lively and brisk while the great measure of Parliamentary Reform was unsettled ? Distress would not only continue but would increase, and numbers would be daily added to the already fearful mass of these who now were destitute of employment.—(Hear, hear.) Could they see all this without being disappointed by the frus tration of their hopes—without being sorrowful at the contemplation of such distress—without being indignant at the cause ?—(Cheers.) But were they to rest under all this—were they to hang their harps on the willow, and weep out the remainder of their term ? Heaven forbid !—(Tremendous cheering.) Their disap pointment would not make them despair—they would not be enervated by their sorrow, nor were they, as their ene mies desired, to be made desperate by their indignation.— (Loud cheers.) Those feelings, he trusted, would work within them together for good, and produce a firm, deter mined, unchangeable resolution, to effect, constitutionally, this great purpose.—(Continued cheering.) The various emotions created by this disappointment were mingled with surprise. They wondered that in so great an assem bly as the House of Peers, a party of men should be so blind and so self-willed, that they would,for the preserva tion of illegal privileges, peril the stability of the Throne, the existence of their own order, and the peace of the country. —(Cheers.) If surprise and grief had been excited by the conduct of the Opposition Lords generally, the conduct of one bench—the Bishops—(Loud expressions of &sap probation)—the Right Reverend Fathers in God—the Apostles of Peace—the successors of the fishermen of Ga like, had !dill more excited their astonishment and indigna. tion.—(Cheers.) Those men were afraid, it was said, of a revolution, yet what a change was here ? They were the successors of men, who, when sent forth to preach, were enjoined to take nothing fur their journey, neither staves, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither were they to have two coats a piece—and yet the Church flourished then.— (Loud cheers.) But their successors in these days were exalted into legislators of the first rank, sitting in judg ment in temporal matters in the highest court of the king dom, and plunged, by their decisions, the country into misery and distress.—(Loud and long continued cheers.) The question of Re.orin had very long been under discus sion—the people had been led to inquire into their rights—the result of this inquiry was a conviction that they were entitled to the elective franchise, and acting on that conviction they were determined to have it.—(Cheers.) How, then, were they to obtain that th, it undeniable right ? Not by sudden and ill-directed ebullitions of popular feeling—(Cheers)—not by wanton destruction of their neighbour's property—(Cheers)—not by maltreating the persons of obnoxious individuals. (Cheers.) Miserable gratifications were all these, which were a disgrace to humanity—and from all which he thanked Heaven, Edinburgh was still free, but their object was to be obtained by a well directed union—(Cheers)-- an union of sentiment, and an union of all the unions in the kingdom.—( Cheers.) At present the people had to wait a little longer—the plans of the Ministry would soon be dis closed, and if they were one whit less efficient and extensive than had lately been propounded, if the cup was one drop less full than that Just dashed from their lips—the nation's et) , would be loud enough to be heard—its language would be plain enough to be understood, and their actions would be those of men who were deserving of freedom.—(Loud cheers.) He seconded the resolution, and sat down amidst most enthusiastic cheers. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously• Mr. AYTOIDT, advocate, then addressed the meeting in a long, energetic, eloquent, and enthusiastically applauded speech. Little was it expected that 199 selfish indi viduals, the lordly majority as it had been called in the House of Peers, would have had the baseness to set their little, selfish, petty interests and paltry motives in opposition to the wishes and interests of this mighty empire, defying a patriotic King united with a determined people.—(Loud cheers.) The people, how ever, bad acted nobly under their present disappointment— they had shewn themselves the true lovers of constitu tional order and peace—and they had thus averted all the horrors attendant on a general convulsion. The Peers had done what they never could undo ; and he called upon them to beware when the Bill was again introduced, and rejected of what would follow. The efforts of the people —their constitutional efforts, by petitions, and resolutions, and public meetings, would not be directed to the House of Commons, but to a Reform in the House of Lords— (Loud cheers)—a radical Reform in that high House— (Continued cheers) —a Reform in which some of their Lordships would be found included in schedule A.— (Loud cheers.) The Peers had already decided their fate in a neighbouring country. In France, while the Reform Bill was progressing in the House of Com mons, the Chamber of Deputies was employed in deter mining the question of a hereditary Peerage, and there the votes on the subject were nearly divided, inclining rather in favour of the Peers ; but the moment the vote op the Reform Bill in the British House of Peers was known in that country, a vote was immediately demanded, and a hereditary Peerage was negatived by a majority of three to one.—(Loud cheers.) He called upon his Ma jesty's Ministers to immediately prorogue Pat liament, to create the requisite number of Peers to carry the Bill, not to let it slumber during a long vacation, bat to consult the interests, welfare, and peace of the country by its speedy triumphant determination.—(Loud cheers.) In the mean time the nation demanded that every individual, Peer or commoner, should be ousted from every place of favour or emolument who had voted against the BilL— (Loud cheers,) The Bishops should be taught that the people of this country were not to be insulted with im punity—(Cheers)—anal when the Marquis of London• derry—(Groans and hisses)—came to the Treasury for 2,0001. his annual pension as retired Ambassador, lie should bp instructed that his Lordship need no longer ex pest to be paid by the labours of a people, whose legiti mate interests at the same mimeo he took every oppor tunity of endeavouring to defeat.—(Loud lengthenet cheers.) The Learned Gentleman concluded by moviug the secohd resolution. "'That although the meeting are fully convinced of the per vading desire th''prederve the public peace, they cannot conceal from themselves that, in the event of an efficient Reform being delayed, the distress superinduced by the stoppage of trade and the consequent beggary of the working classes, may possibly, in despite . at 1 - # . 6 Pest ihteationS" on the part of the people, plung e the country into istge oranarchy." Mr. STODDART seconded the resolution, which was carried amidst loud and universal cheering. Mr. TATE, after a neat speech proposed the fallowing resolution : That in the present excitcd'state of the public mind, in the f ea rful crb is at Which the country has arrived, the people, with most fervent loyalty and devotion to his Majesty, feel that any un due delay on the part of his Majesty' s Ministers in bringing tor ward a Bill equally at efficient as that which has been lost, will diminish that confidence which the country has hitherto reposed in their exertions. The people therefore look to the Throne for the accomplishment of their wishes, and the salvation of the empire from impending calamities. which was seconded by Mr. JAMIESON. If Reform like Earl Grey's Bill was granted, with a free, enlightened, ex tended ballot-protected constituency, the House of Peers 'night then be crammed with all the rats that had ever in fested a Tory Government—(Loud laughter and applause) —and although the vermin might be noxious enough, they would never be dangerous.—(Loud cheers.) A Reformed House of Commons would in short realize the fable of Agrippa, and form the belly of the body-politic, without which the limbs could not move.—(Cheers.) The resolu tion was then immediately adopted. Mr. BIGGAIt moved the fourth resolution. " That an humble, dutiful, and loyal address be presented to the King, praying his Majesty to exercise his Royal prerogative to promote the grand national object of Parliamentary Reform, and thus rescue the United Kingdom from the danger of disor ganization, with all its attendant miseries," " • which was seconded by Mr. CIiAbIEERS, and adopted unanimously. Mr. HAY (Advocate) moved the address in a most able, suitable, and impressively eloquent speech, during the course of which he was frequently interrupted by the loud acclamations of an attentive audience. He asked, who were they who had destroyed their hopes ? Not the de scendants of the Nobility, who had wrested the people's rights from King John and King James. No ; it was the men but of yesterday—the boroughmongers—the traffickers in unholy things—the buyers and sellers of the people's rights—the declared practisers of corruption, and abettors of slavery.—(Loud cheering.) Was it the openly pro fane, and the blasphemous ? N.) ; it was the fathers of the Church—the teachers of peace, who said there should be no peace.—(Cheers.) But the people's cause was bottomed on the rock of justice, and would yet stand up against the surge of oppression for ages.— (Loud and continued cheering.) Look at the ancient aristocracy of the country, to the wealth, talent, and pro perty which was for them, and compare these with the handful which were against them, and they were as a drop in the great ocean.—(Cheers.) Compare the talents, the wisdom of the Grey's and the Brougisam's, with the 'puerilities of Londonderry and the buffoonery of Wetherell, and the latter were as dust in the balance—like the dura tion of an hour when contrasted with eternity.—(Great cheering.) He contended that it was impossible to look for an efficient Reform from the opponents of the present Ministry—and that they alone deserved the support of the people. He warned them that their enemies were abroad, and were anxiously hoping for the time when their impatience might drive them to acts of outrage and riot. Let us (said Mr. H.) disappoint them. We have each of us in our sphere, a certain degree of influence with our fellows, and let this influence be used to secure the peace and tranquillity of the country, and to discounte nance every thing which would tend to a breach of it.— (Loud cheers, and cries of "we will, we will.") He con cluded by reading the following address to the King : ADDRESS OF THE EDINBURGH POLITICAL UNION UNTO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, With the most fervent sentiments of loyalty and devotion to your Majesty's person—wiih the most sincere admiration of; and heartfelt gratitude for, your patriotic Government—a Govern ment which must, in the page of history, procure for you the noblest of all titles, that of Father of your people—the Edin burgh Political Union venture to approach and at this juncture lay at the foot of the Throne, a humble expression of their feelings. Ardently desiring an efficient Reform in Parliament, and un. alterably resolved on exerting all constitutional means for its at tainment, the people grounded their expectation on the success of the Bill, which, passed by the Commons, has been rejected by the Lords. Vain would be the attempt to depict to your Majesty the feelings of disappointment, sorrow, and indignation with which the intelligence of the fate of the Bill in the Upper House of Parliament was everywhere received. So imminent seemed the peril, that the hope of a terrible crisis being averted rested solely on the known determined patriotism of your Majesty, which no one doubts will be displayed in such a due exertion of your Pre rogative, and all other constitutional means, as may lead to the gratification of a nation's wish. To the Throne in this season of alarm, do we look for safety, and confident do we feel that we shall not be disappointed. May it therefore please your Majesty graciously to adopt all such constitutional measures, as satisfying the nation may tend to quiet the public mind, insure the safety and prosperity of the empire, and still more firmly establish the Throne on the surest of all bases—a people's love, veneration, and gratitude. Mr. SUTHERLAND seconded the address, which was adopted with three cheers for the King, as the father of his people. After some other speeches, it was agreed that the address should be presented to his Majesty by Earl Grey; and this large and most respectable assemblage, after thanks were voted to the Chairman, dispersed with the utmost regula rity and decorum. This is the first political meeting we believe which has ever been held, sub Jove, in this metropolis. The speeches which were delivered, and the union and harmony which prevailed among so vast a concourse of people, are alike creditable to the spirit and patriotic principles of our northern neighbours. BURY. (Abridged from the Bury and Norwich Post.) On Monday last a meeting took place at the Guildhall, in this town, convened by the Alderman, in compliance with a requi sition numerously and respectably signed. Mr. JACKSON was called upon to preside, and briefly opened the proceedings. Mr. EAGLE said—We are met to declare whether we are ready to support the King and his Ministers. And first as to the King,—will you support him ?—(Cries of "We will.") If not, I say you would deserve not to be supported yourselves; you would deserve to remain in the hands of the boroughmon gers.—(Cheers.) He is not the sort of King that the borough_ mongers like.—(Laughter.) They want a sort of chairman of their club, or captain of their gang, who, being allowed two or three shares of the spoil, whilst they have one each, would per mit them to plunder the people with impunity. That is what they would like to have, and what, if you are not true to your. selves, they will have.—(Cheers.) And now as to the Ministers, —will you support them ?.—(Cries of " Yes.") They have said they will stand by the people, and by the Reform Bill and its efficiency, as long as the people will stand by them. But they have asked for time to mature their plans, and they exhort you, in the mean time, to be patient and peaceable. I trust there is no need of this caution, but at the same time I hope that a very long prorogation will not be ventured upon. I will not be an swerable for the peace of the country more than a month, if the measure should not be brought forward. Mr. Eagle pro ceeded to observe, that there was another question upon which he would only touch lightly, as he wished to avoid excitement, —namely, how far it might be deemed expedient to unmake some of the Peers. That portion of the House which had led him to this observation, had not to thank him but their own votes for the agitation of the subject. He was a friend to civil and religious liberty, but now that the Church was really in danger from its professed friends, he would stand forward to Reform and relieve it. The subject would probably come under discussion, but at present he had not made up his mind as to what course should be pursued in consequence of the indiscreet conduct of a large portion of the Bishops. With respect to the rest of the Peers, he knew the value of that House, especially as a protection to the agriculturalists against those who did not perceive the common interest of all classes of the community. An other redeeming quality was to be found in the manner in which the ancient nobility had supported the cause of the people. At the head of the list stood the Duke of Norfolk, who had nobly supported the cause of the people, and had per. formed his duty in a manner worthy of the head of the illus trious house of Howard.—(Cheers.) He wished to avoid any thing which might injure the cause. He hoped that whilst there was yet time their Lordships would see the necessity of retracing their steps, and complying with the demands of the people, and as reasonable men he hoped the people would not only forgive but forget. They must take care, however, lest they should provoke the people too far, and exhaust their pa. tience. Lord Londonderry might boast of his courage and his disregard of death ; but if he thought proper to provoke the people by parading amongst the assembled thousands in the streets of London, he might meet with some one as brave, as fool-hardy, or as mad as himself, and would have no more right to blame the Reformers for the consequence than the man who should thrust a red-hot poker into a barrel of gunpowder. It was idle to boast of not being afraid. No man ought to be afraid in a good cause, but the question was whether he ought to be afraid. In conclusion lie would only give this advice to the meeting, "Be firm, but temperate, and I will undertake that the Bill shall speedily be law."—(Cheers.) Captain CONR A Nseconded the resolutions. Mr. ROLFE, the Recorder, fully agreed with his learned friend as to the extreme difficulty of steering the proper course between what might be interpreted into coolness on the one hand, and exasperation on the other. If calm, they might be told they were indifferent ; if warm, they were exciting to revo lution. It was the part of wisdom to steer between the two extremes—to show their zeal for the constitutional accomplish. meat of the object in vi ew, b ut to trea t as the worst enemy to the cause any one wh o s h ould make i t a pretext for outrage and violence. The resolutions were then carriecl unanimously. Mr, LEECH then, in 4 spirited speech, moved that an ad dress founded on the above resolutions be presented to his Ma jesty, and that the Duke of Grafton, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, be requested t o presen t the same. Mr. CREED, in se con di ng the address, expressed his pl easure at seeing a larger me e ti ng ev en than the last, as it ga ve t h e lie once more to the ass er ti on that the people of Bury wer e opposed dtoistuh.eyptihllealid amount o ' indifferent therenttori;isrretj; which had da re d to refusection. They had see n w i t h the wishes of fhe people. He did not mean to use the language of intimidation, but they had a right to look into the motives of the Peers, and the majority might easily be accounted for when they found in the number twenty-one Bishops, and a long list of Peers created by administrations which had d eprived the people of their just rights, such as Mr. Pitt and Lord L on donderry. The conduct of Lord Wh arnel i fFe, who, after the success of his motion to throw out the Bill, had turned round and said, 'f Now is the moment for 4eforro, ,, w as a proof that the object was not so much to get rid of the Bill as to turn out the Ministers. The people had been set at defiance, but they would not set the Lords at defiance; they would not use violence against the few, for that would be cowardice ; but they would raise their voices with firmness, and they must ultimately prevail. Mr. ROBINSON, after some explanatory observations ex pressed with considerable ability, added, " If they walked through the streets, they were told by every one that they were certainly to have Reform now; and it was only the other day that one of the most decided enemies of Reform in this town, a member of the corporation, had told him that he was for open ing the boroughs, and for schedule A." The address was the carried unanimously. Mr. COATES had been a friend to Reform for 38 years—he had begun in the cause with Earl Grey, to whom this country was more indebted than to any man in existence, and he pro posed a resolution to the effect of his speech. The resolution was carried with three cheers. Mr. EAGLE considered it highly important that extended meetings should take place, and he therefore asked were they willing to hold out the hands to the farmer, and go with him heart and hand to a county meeting.—(" Yes, yes.") He had drawn up a resolution which he was the more anxious to press upon them because he had been applied to from their side of the county to ascertain the general feeling, and so far from any thing like indifference, he had found not the slightest change of opinion as to the necessity of supporting the Ministers. Mr. Eagle then moved the following resolution : " That in the opinion of this meeting the land-owner and far mer, the trader, the merchant, and the manufacturer, are alike interested in promoting the success of the great measure of Par liamentary Reform, as the sole and sure means of restoring their common prosperity, and that for the purpose of showing their sense of this inseparable union of interests, by expressing their joint confidence in the King and his Ministers, it is desirable that a meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Suffolk should be held without delay." The resolution was carried by acclamation. Mr. LEECH announced that the address would be in the hall for signature until Tuesday evening. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who expressed his satisfaction at the kind and orderly conduct of the meeting. Mr. EAGLE then proposed three cheers for the King, three for the Ministers, and three for the supporters of the Reform Bill ; and, in order to get rid of their cares, three groans for the boroughmongers ; all of which were given with due effect. The meeting was, without exception, the most respectable that we, or our fathers before us, have ever seen in the town of Bury. KILMARN 0 CK. (From the Kilmarnock Chronicle of Tuecday.) Saturday last was the proudest day Kilmarnock ever saw. We had a public meeting in favour of Reform, graced by the pre sence of the present Magistrates, three or four of the old Bathes, the Treasurer, and almost all of the Town Council. Saturday was fixed for the meeting, at two o'clock, the Magistrates, and a deputation of requisitionists marched to the newly enclosed large green for the cattle market, and the business of the day com menced amid profound silence. Mr. ROGER rose to move, that the Chief Magistrate take the chair. He spoke as follows : Friends, we are met upon the important and all-absorbing question of Parliamentary Reform. We have had the extreme pleasure of seeing a House of Commons dissolved, who were un friendly to our wishes ; and we see that the firmness of his Ma jesty and his Ministers, and the force of public opinion has given us a House who have carried our favourite measure with a tri umphant majority. Upon the other hand, we have to lament and deplore that a paltry handful of boroughmongers and Bishops have thwarted and retarded our favourite measure ; I say retarded, because pass our Bill must, and pass it will. The sweetest music I weuld like to hear then would be three groans for the Bishops.—(Three deep groans were then given.) Pa tience, patience, patience and perseverance, and our hopes will be realized. Mr. H. CRAIG—My friends we are not called upon as our ancestors often were, to forsake our families and our homes, and with sword in hand, to fight for our liberty ; but we are this day imperatively called upon, by the present emergency to rally round the throne of our beloved Monarch, to assure him of our confidence in his zeal and wisdom, and of our satisfaction with the conduct of his faithful Ministers; and although the united people of Kilmarnock be but as a single regiment on the great and glorious field of national conflict, yet we will, I trust, prove ourselves to be a regiment of in vincibles.—(Loud cheering.) Dr. REID then moved that the address to the King be read and adopted. The Rev. GEORGE LAWSON seconded the motion, and spoke as follows :..-Sir, I envy not the heart that is as calm as usual, when the peace and prosperity of a nation are so evi dently at stake. If the Bishops (concerning whom you have this day so intelligibly given your opinion) the Bishops who so generally take part with the Ministry of the day, and that for reasons about which none probably is at a loss to judge—(A laugh)—who know how obnoxious their order has recently be come, and who could not but know how much more loathsome their late conduct would render their names; if, notwithstand ing all these motives to the contrary, they were so inveterately bent against a nation's freedom, and a nation's united entreaties, that here for once they opposed the Ministers of the Crown ; and that in despite of Earl Grey's touching and pathetic address to themselves in his opening speech on this great question ; surely I, and such as I, may in a case like this appear for once as citizens, and lend our aid, feeble as that aid may be, to the cause of twenty millions of a patient, industrious and intelli gent people..--(Cheers.) Aye, twenty millions of people. There is a fact of overwhelming importance.---(Loud cheers.) If there was ever a period when loyalty and patriotism might be expected to go hand in hand, this is the period. We have a King who, instead of commencing and repairing palaces the ex pence of which is to be counted by millions, erects the fabric of his safety in the hearts of a devoted people. We have a Mi nistry who, instead of searching out with malignant ingenuity, every spot where they could fasten their gripe, and thence ex tract a tax, try to lighten the burdens imposed by former Ad ministrations, even though they incur the sneers of their oppo nents by a defalcation of revenue—and who have made it the condition of their acceptance of office, and their continuance in it, that they shall grant the Reform on which the heart ofthe nation is deliberately, ardently, and immutably fixed.—(Cheers.) One word more, and I give place to others. The question lately was, what will the Lords do ? That question has been an swered, painfully, but I firmly believe not finally answered. The question now is, what will the people do ?—(Loud cheers.) I trust the reply is—what we are doing. They will meet— they will show that their prayer for Reform was not a transi tory feeling, but a permanent ineffaceable principle ; and the voice of the nation cannot be always unheard. Lords may be foolish, but a nation is irresistible. A nation united, to adopt the expressive language of a former speaker, must prove a re giment of Invincibles. But let the peaceableness of our de meanour be as marked as our firmness. Steady, calm, perse vering efforts, will, by the blessing of Heaven, ensure success. For the Ruler among the nations listens to the cry of the op pressed, and the God of Heaven—he will prosper us. Mr. D. R. ANDREWS then moved that the address to the Ministry should be approved of. Mr. COLVIL, Town Treasurer, seconded the motion. It was also carried unanimously. 'Bailie RANKIN next moved, that the addresses should be entrusted to Baron Kilmarnock for presentation. The an nouncement of the Baron's name was received with real plea sure ; and Mr. LOVE seconded the motion in a long and able speech. The gentleman who had written the requisition then pro posed three cheers for the most patriotic King who had ever sat on the throne. Not a voice was dull. Three other cheers were then given to Lord Grey and the Ministry—and the meet ing broke up, all truly satisfied with the proceedings ; the Tories, if there were any, truly dismayed. AYR. (From the Kilmarnock Chronicle of Tuesday.) No sooner did intelligence reach Ayr of the disgraceful ma jority which had thrown out the Reform 13ill in the House of Lords, than they determined to come forward and show their unabated desire that this great measure should be carried by petitioning his most gracious Majesty to continue his patriotic efforts by retaining his present Ministers in his confidence, and dismissing from his Councils all who have shown themselves hostile to the welfare of the nation. A requisition was addressed to the Provost, who immediately complied with the request, and called a public meeting of the inhabitants on the 12th instant. By eleven o'clock the Court House was crowded by gentlemen, and inhabitants of our gude town. Mr. ANNESLEY proposed that the Lord Provost should take the chair. This motion was carried by acclamation. Mr. FULARTON proceeded to the chair, and when the cheering had subsided, addressed the meeting.—" Gentlemen and fellow citizens (he said), I shall not go into the merits or demerits of the Reform Bill. It has been brought forward by the liberal and enlightened Ministers of the Crown, and passed its severest ordeal in the House of Commons ; although it is notorious to all of us that many, very many of the seats in that House were considered as the private property of Peers and rich Commoners—although we know that a stipulated price was paid for them, and the return of a number conditionally se cured for a sum of money, as if the power of voting away the public funds was the mere appendage to some title or estate, and that the family possessing the one had an undoubted right to dispose of the other. But enough of this. The system is too rotten for us, and our representatives have therefore nobly passed a Bill for its amendment; but this Bill has for the present been defeated by a majority of the Lords. Now, I should like to ask what privileges of that noble body which we respect, and wish to respect under the Constitution, are sought to be either destroyed or impaired, unless it is the right (an absurd, unjust, and unconstitutional one) of naming to, or selling seats in the House of Commons, fly the law of the land, the Lords have very little to do with money bills, or voting the supplies; and yet they seek now to arrogate to them selves the right of interfering in these matters against every principle of justice.—(Cheers.) The representatives of the people alone are the sworn guardians of the people's rights, and of the public purse, and for Peers or others to interfere with seats in the House of Commons, is alike unconstitutional and unjust. But I have no doubt but that you will soon be cheered with the sound of your victory—the success of the Reform Bill becomeF u Dr. l l a on an sa A t C a . t o ofParliament , in i d continued u a e d n d land. fir t WHITESIDE rose to propose the resolutions to the meeting.---In moving the Addresi, he said I have now the honour of proposing to you, the presenting an Address to our patriotic King, praying him to continue his confidence in Mi nisters, and to dismiss from offices of trust and power, all who used their influence or gave their votes against the Reform Bill. Dr. Whiteside then sat down amid loud ; chee rs and it having been discovered that the Court-house was not large enough to accommodate the meeting, upon the motion of Convener 3111- wraith, the whole retired to the -square in front of Dr. TAYLOR, in seconding the resolutions, Whiteside, spoke nearly as follows :-Gentlemen, your attention to the circumstances which have gether at this moment, and state some of the evils we labour. The infamous and unprincipled intitic tious aristocracy, or, (to use the words of a writer " of a Heaven born race of hereditary Solons," `the House of Commons to the rank of minions or their vices, or their avarice, and left the country e unrepresented, or so inadequately so, as to call lo form. That call has been shouted from north to answered from the east and from the west ; it was the breeze through every valley, and echoed from each brow, till it wrung in the startled ears of those who draining the resources of the country, and ro' their fancied security. They sought to check it, every art to smother it, nothing was thought . could help to drown it; and they fondly imagined they had plunged the nation into debt, and ' principle of the Constitution in the dust, that their was attained. Vain thought! by slow and silent, but certain steps, the nation was advancing in know' effort against the tree of liberty only seemed to to its growth ; hydra-like it reared a hundred heads one they crushed, and became at length, as it 1 6 powerful for resistance. In this state of affairs (may Heaven reward him for his effcrts, and show, blessings on his gallant heart,) determined to r rights; but, (oh monstrous anomaly in the tury !) a paltry and insignificant set of men, west numbers and in intellect, have dared to place ". opposition to the wishes of a country to whose ance of wrongs endured, they were indebted for istence—have dared to withhold the rights of 1. their fellow-countrymen—because, forsooth, the would deprive them of privileges which they - have acquired by honest means, and directly a t with the welfare of the nation ; wise neither by nor anticipation, they array themselves against people and a generous Monarch, and seek wit h hands to cast a firebrand amid a peaceful community ated, ignorant, or guilty fools, they have by this deeper at the root of their disgraceful constitution ages of lesser infamy could have achieved ; and day, we may fondly hope, when the culpable absurdi‘ tary Legislators shall cease to exist, and leave either Peerage, or sweep them at once from the Constitutio n. those fat and comfortable Lords, professing themselves advocates of the Christian religion, and bringing into disgrace by every crime that pride or avarice the country will not forget them; the keen eye of r el l justice shall mark their career—soon shall they be &Mel situations they never should have filled—and the p 1 pt once knew them shall know them no more on eart h ' ste me for engrossing so much of your time, and bear h i e d' a few moments, while I presume to give you the r # 4 , vice of one associated with you in this noble cause, ~.. %":040' interested in your welfare. Thank the Commons —r 0 0 , ,,, King—entreat Ministers to be firm—deluge the House.4o! if you will, with addresses; pile them load on load ;OP, benches, till sinking under the expression of that opin'tbe,,r they dared to say existed not, they expire in the sen ti l o r i o disgraced; do this, 'tis well, 'tis right, but descend of violence and riot, at once cowardly and impolitic; 4 because you know you are the strongest, and in:VOA you would thus be placing a weapon in the hands oil, r. saries, with which to defeat your cause.—(Mr. TAP" to ; amid long continued cheers.) The address being again read over by Mr. Hugh of the meeting, was unanimously approved of. Mr. ANNESLEY—The constitutional measure D t° 7o o s ward by Ministers has been delayed for a time by the 0 of two parties in the House of Lords, on whose In e Vl be unnecessary for me to distant at any great lengt h '; pecially as I might be unable to find terms sufficientn ot eso 6 o ll l l characterise their conduct.—(Cheers.)
