and we had driven some men out of the aquae to the Grove; we were returning to the square again when I heard a shot fired; some one tried out " the soldiers are firing ;" the special constables and my self ran towards the Grove ; about the centre of the avenue, a few feet below in the Grove, a boy was on the ground in a recumbent position, crying ; at that moment I saw a man, with a brown coat o; surrounded by several men, one of wheal was a sailor; I did not know the man at the time, his hat being off, his face dirty, and bleeding from the forehead ; I afterwards recognised him, and Itid it is Captain Lewis; 1 saw him with a ristol in his hand, and the persons round him were compelling him to unload the pistol; he sad he would unload it himself; but he took nothing from it; I took ttra pistol and snapped the pan ' and found it , :ms not loaded; I kept the pistol, and desired Captain Lewis to go away to avoid the—ernwd, and he went the back way over a cooperage; several men followed, calling out " it is a shame for a special constable to shoot a poor boy ;" the Captain got into a house, and a fellow attempted to follow him; I told him I would knock his head off if he entered the house after the Captain ; I had never been acquainted with the Captain before that morning; his name is James Coraley Lewis. - By the solicitor of Captain Lewis—l was at the Council-house soon after seven that morning, and saw Captain Lewis in conversation with Mr. 'Hilts house, the Magistrate; I was armed with a pair of duelling-pistols; I did not hear any orders given to Captain Lewis; I asked the Magistrate if we were to arm ourselves, and bow we were to act in case of riot ? and the Magistrates on the preceding night ' said, "We cannot give you any specific orders about using fire-arms; but it is the ditty - of every man to arm himself on such an occasion." I thought it my duty to arm myself with pistols, and I knew that several were armed,. There were man" per sons moving that morning in masses about 4lieen seeare, and, seemed disposed to riot did not use fire-arms, and saw no °erasion for their use; there were Very few persona in the avenue; though I did not - use pistols, it was uccessary to use our staves;' one man was dead drunk in the avenue. Previous is firing the pistol; I bad been engaged with Cap tain Lewis in dispersing the crowd ; the mob was much more numerous than the constables; I should think there were seventy persons in the Grove. Cross-examined 'by a gentleman from Mr. Pal mer's office, solicitor, of London, on the part of the father of the deceased—l should think there were upwards of seventy persons about the Grove within a narrow compass ; indeed the persons we drove out of the square remained in the Grove. Cannot tell how far Captain Lewis was from me when he fired; I went to the spot about three minutes afterwards; there were then about seventy persons, or consider ably more, but cannot say there,were more than six or seven persons near when the pistol was fired; the special constables when I came up were rescu ing him from some persons who were apparently about to use him with violence; I had not struck any one within the previous half hour ; there was no necessity to strike ; I only pushed the mob ; I had only been there about ten minutes; most of the persons around me had sticks and pieces of wood. Ity Mr. Daniel—Can't tell whether they were rioters; we had driven the mob outside to the Grove ; Captain Lewis asked me to go and see the ruins of the gaol, which I declined, because I did not like the appearance of the mob about the Grove ; I mean to say, I thought our force too small, and we might be attacked. Re-examined by the gentleman from Mr. Pal tner's--I loaded my pistols at my own house on Sun day evening; there were - no special constables at the Mansion-house when we were there ; I am sure there was a conversation between Captain Lewis and the Magistrate at the Mansion-house on Mon day morning, relative_ to , :de • use of fire-arms; I never saw Mr. Lewis's pistol till he was surrounded by the mob; can't say that it had not been fired, but my opir:ion is that it was one of a pair; I heard the Captain, after the pistol had been fired, say the villains have knocked me down; this was within three minutes after the pistol was fired ; I did not observe the Captain re-loading his pistol; there was no powder of any kind in it. when I came up; the people cried out, " Take it from him I" and he took the pistol from his breast; did not. hear any . one say, ." Curse him, he is re-loading the pistol ; ' neither did I hear words to that effect ; cannot tell what my feelings were when I came up, but the people were excited ; did not think the excitement was caused by the shot ; I heard many horrid im precations, and think, if the constables had not come up the mob would have killed him (Mr. Lewis). • By Mr. Daniel—l never spoke to Mr. Lewis pre . vious to the Monday morning. . By a Juryman—The pistol Mr. Lewis fired had been wrenched from him previous to my coming up; he told me so an hour and a half afterwards. By the gentleman from Mr. Palmet's—l have never seen Mr. Lewis since; but have repeatedly seen his attorney. Mr. Daniel, the solicitor, proposed an adjourn ment of the case till the folio wing day, as he thought from the turn the iniestigalon had taken, his client would think proper to call other witnesses, which were not nt hand At that moment. The gentleman from Mr. Palmer's said there could be no objection to an adjournment, especially as his client, the father of the deceased, might think pro per to call witnesses. Morris, the father of the deceased, entered the room, and complained to the Coroner that Mr.Danie], the brother of Captain Lewis's solicitor, had jus. been in an adjoining room with him, and wished to induce him to come forward and state to the Coro ner arid Jury that his son's death was entirely from accident, and that he was satisfied. He could not state what he knew to be untrue, and told Mr. Da niel he would not say so on any account, when Mr. Daniel called him a rascally old villain. The CORONER said the conduct of Mr. Daniel was very culpable, and he should take an opportu nity on the following day of expressing his opinion to the party. The Jury were bound over to appear on the fol lowing day at one o'clock, and the inquest was again adjourned. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON . DANIEL JAMES. The CORONER then proceeded to receive evidence on the inquiry into the cause of this person's death, who had been cut in the head by a soldier with a sabre. Mr. Morgan, a surgeon, described the wound, and said the injury caused inflammation on the brain, which terminated fatally on the 2d inst. Mr. .James Wyatt, of the Angel Inn, High-street, Bristol, on Sunday morning last was informed that the people were breaking the windows of the Man sion-house, corner of High-street ; he went out and saw the deceased, who was a sober, steady, and most respectable man, in the street ; at that time lie heard trumpets sounding to the charge, and the military were riding up Corn-street ; they passed down Wine-street in a gallop ; there was a great crowd, and the soldiers cut at all persons within their reach ; he (witness) ran away to avoid the soldiers, and soon afterwards saw the deceased with a sabre wound in his forehead ; it was bound up with a handkerchief, and he was taken to a surgeon's; the wound was not at that time supposed to be dan gerous ; the Riot Act had been read previously ; I was informed the deceased was not a man likely to interfere in the riot. The CORONER. said this was all the evidence he deemed necessary to receive on this inquiry. The gentlema❑ who appeared on the part of the father of the deceased, hoped the Coroner would consider it proper to call a number of gentlemen of the first respectability, as merchants and traders in the city, who would be able to prove on their oaths, that if the Magistrates of the Corporation had on Sunday last not deserted the city to the mob, and ran away, or concealed themselves, the subsequent rioting would have been prevented. Ott the Sun day, hundreds and thousands of the inhabitants were ready to go out with any Magistrate to put a atop to the outrages of the thieves who had congregated 'but riD Magistrate could he found. The CORONER said, that his duty was to inquire into the cause of the death of the deceased, tnd net into the cause of the previous rioting. Juror—We know that the `city *as left to the mob ;t Sunday, and the 13dbarLAuent destruction of property wag entirely 'owing to the Corporation. Had 'the magistrates taken out 500 constables en Sundiey, the peace of the city would here titett pre erved, and a dozen soldiers might have defeated the mob. The CoaoNrP. knew the truth of what was 1 stated ; fn. be was himself active, with some of hit 1 neir,'..liours, to assist in restoring are p'ea';.4:l , t4f the 'city. It was not within his provirido ) or within 'the scope of the present inquiry tb go into evidence to prove that the Magistracy had or had not exerted themselves to preserve the peace and property of the cititens. He said, that if the ••it ury were satis fied the Riot Act had been read when the deceased received the wound which caused his death, thrie • verdict must be "Justifiable Homicide," The JURY, after some consultetitrr,';:iturned a ver dict, " That the deceased rettived a sabre wound, which produced intkamm - ation and caused his death; and the Jusy could not let the opportunity pass, without ' , expressing their deep regret, that those means which were within the power of the Magis trates of the city were not called into attion by them, by which they might have prevented the calamities which have taken Out." The military are still on duty in every part of the city ; but happily all continues tramteil. Not even e, ten-pound householder hes been concerned in the riots. Many of the tonvicts who escaped out of the gaols have been retaken. Some of them, who were under sentence of transportation, have been te ceptured, and proved to have been the Most active idestroyers of private property% THE BRISTOL POLITICAL UNION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—You have written your leading article, of yester day, on the .utility and necessity of the people of this country forming themselves into Political Unions at this eventful crisis, and you ground your observations on the advantages to be derived from them by referring to the conduct of the Bristol Political Union during the late tiols in that city. Now, Sir, I feel convinced you would not wilfully insert a known falsehood in the columns of your very respectable Journal, and therefore think it my im perative duty as a tradesman residing in the centre of the city, and paying at least 2007. rent and taxes annually, to tell you, that the late riots were quelled by the whoh of the inhabitants acting as special constables, attd parading the streets in every direction, aided by the military, and not by any Political Union whatever. As a body, the Bristol Political Union are wholly unknown to the respect able class of tradesmen of that city, and excepting a very few individuals, they are confined to any and to every person who will subscribe one penny per week, be their character what it may. Bristol, Nov. 4. A REFORMER. BRISTOL, Nov. 4. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Tranquillity continues in this city. At the Rev.. Mr. Ranken's, at Birslington, two miles from hence, a bed room was discovered to be on fire thin morning, but it was soon put out ; a square of glass was broken, but it is sup posed to have been brohen from the inside. This is all I can say at present. An investigation is about to take place. FIFE CiCLOCX. A ringleader was brought in from Bedminster this morning with a broken leg; he orits that he jumped from the Custom-hou s e when en lire. bRISTOL, Nov. 4. (FROM A CORRESVONDRYT, I have just returned from making a round of the exten sive ruins, and at every visit my astonishment was increased at the reckless and unprincipled destruction of property, atti it is equally matter of surprise how such de e:Lett...ton was committed in the space of time that was occupied. In Captain Claxton's house in Queen-square, which 1 have been through to-day, the traces of a hard contest still remain. The Captain is a ship-owner. His tine ship, the Bur. of Liverpool, in the harbour, sea. threatened., and in all likelihood would have been attacked had it not have become known that she was well prepared to receive them. She had a numher of guns on board, loaded with grape, and can non, but, as a precautionary measure, the vessel was moored out in the river when matters reached to a great height. Captain Claxton expected an attack on his house, and had stationed some sailors in it fur the pur pose of defending it, the valuable property having been previously removed. The sailors maintained the contest with great bravery and proved how much could have been done by a body of determined men. But for the bravery of the sailors the house would have been reduced to ashen. I have just seen an inhabitant who assisted last night in captuting three fellows, against whom information was given. They were taken in a quarter of the city called St. Jacob's, and when made prisoners were plentifully stocked with money in silver. They had front three to seven pounds of silver in their pockets; one of them was a ringleader, and has been identified as having fired the ',ld gaol. lily informant told me that they were stripped in the prison, and in the pocket of the principal prisoner a written paper was found, headed with " List of destruc non," or words to that effect. The paper was wrapped up in his fob pocket, and was taken in charge by the gaoler. Another of the prisoners entered a shop that was pointed gut to me, and in the most open and audacious manner knocked down the inmates, and deliberately put the shop till upon his shoulder and walked away ! I understand that there is at present upwards of 300 individuals in custody, although a good many who were arrested on suspicion have been liberated. The number of deaths in the infirmary up till to-day is thirteen, and there are:a great many still confined with severe wounds, some of whom are not expected to recover. The workmen are still employed in searching the ruins. I believe ten bodies in all have been dug out, but there must be a great number yet discovered. One gentleman told me that he himself saw thirteen fellows who must have been buried in the ruins of the Cus totn-house. In one spot he is confident there must be at least seven bodies ! The Exchange is quite stocked with furniture, and it is truly surprising that so much has been recovered. Sideboards of the finest quality and workmanship have been forced open in the roughest manner with iron bars, the locks left adhering to a part of the wood, which was carried away; desks, Ire. opened in the same manner; and boxes were forced in the most summary manner, by dash ing a crow-bar tight into them. A confectioner's son was found in the ruins dreadfully burnt, his pockets filled with sovereigns. It would appear that he was unable to get away, having become entangled in the ruins which were falling about. It is quite a risk of life to approach very near to the remains of the houies, from the state in which the walls are standing. Apparently a slight wind would blow them down, and it is to be feared, if precau tions are not speedily taken, that some serious accident or loss of lives, perhaps, will occur. I saw to-day that at one place workmen were employed in taking the walls down, and I should hope, as the inhabitants are beginning to recover from their stupor, that self-preservation will prompt them to take the necessary measures for the preven tion of accidents. I am exceedingly happy to have it in my power to contradict a statement which I observed was given in a communication in the Times, namely, that ser vants and children in some instances had sought refuge in the vaults and cellars, and have in consequence perished. I have made inquiries in several quarters, and can fortu netely state, upon what I think good authority, that such statement is erroneous. No occurrence of the kind is known, nor have any of the inhabitants lost their lives (I exclude those who were concerned in the outrages) save, I believe, one, and whether he is yet dead my in formant could not say. I know there were reports to the contrary, but I believe they rent on bad foundation. Arrests continue, and a short time ago one of the special constables told me that he had just then received infor mations against others. In the dilapidated state of the gaols the prisoners are so numerous, that last night they were packed together in the yard. They are well guarded , and the outside walls are still standing, having su ffered nothing from the fire, as they are fire-proof. The military continue to pour in. I saw a squadron of the North Somerset cavalry arrive some t'me ago, and .still later the 52d regiment of foot has marched in, and are, I believe, to be stationed here. The 3d Guards have left lam told. To-night the special constables will be again out, and no vigilance will be wanting we may be assured for the future. The greatest precautions have been taken I against any recurrence of disorder. I believe no idea is entertained that there will be any of the accustomed foolery attempted to-morrow, the noted sth of November. The meeting is much talked of to-day, and has varied a little the topic of conversation. The town is very full of visitors.

TORY GALLANTRY AT CAMBRIDGE.— , When the mock procession of the Tories was leaving Cam bridge on Wednesday, to escort the rejected candidate a part of his way back to Riegate, they were met by a pony-phaeton, in which sat a lady, the wife of a highly respectable gentleman of the town, who had distinguished himself by his active and most useful exertions as a mem ber of Mr. TOWNLEY'S Committee. The offence of the husband was too great not to be visited on the wife, and a considerable number (not all, for there were some men of gentlemanly feeling among them) of the disappointed Tories loudly hissed and hooted the fair Reformer as they passed her carriage: thus proving in their gallantry, as they have already in their politics, that they share no opi nion in common with the great body of their generous countrymen.

The High Sheriff , with that attention to the interests of the county which has hitherto characterised his public conduct, immediately on receiving the requisition ap pointed this day for holding the meeting, a day made me morable in the annals of the history of this country, being the anniversary of the landing of King William on the British shores. Opposite the county hall, very spacious hustings were erected for the accommodation of the speakers, and we must not omit mentioning the very ample accommodation which was afforded, under the direction of the High Sheriff, for the reporters—a considerable space being devoted ex clusively to them. During the morning a vast number of freeholders poured into the town front all parts of the county. At twelve o'clock, the High Sheriff appeared upon the hustings, surrounded by a vast number of Noble men and Gentlemen, among whom were the Earl of Chichester, Lord G. Lennox. ALP., Lord William Lennox, M.P., Sir C. Blount, M.P., Mr. Curteis, M.P., Mr. Kemp, M P., Colonel Evans, M.P., Sir Godfrey Webster, Sir G. Goring, Mr. Goring, Mr. Partington, and the Right Hon. George Dawson. Apologies were made for the absence of the Earl of Burlington, in conse quence of indisposition; and of Lord Cavendish, in conse quence of a domestic calamity. The meeting consisted chiefly of shopkeepers, tradesmen, farmers, and substantial yeomen, with little or no alloy of those idle and disorderly persons who form so usual an in gredient of crowds in large manufacturing and commercial towns. Various banners and placards were exhibited, with the usual patriotic inscriptions. At the commence ment of the business, a banner, inscribed with the words " No political Bishops ; my shepherds feed themselves, but feed not my flock," was unfurled immediately opposite to the hustings, but was promptly put aside by order of the Sheriff. The Earl of Cnictirsmt moved the first resolution, which was to the effect that a measure not less efficient than that " precipitately and unjustly" thrown out in the House of Lords, was essential to the safety and pro sperity of the country. The Noble Earl begged leave to say, that he could not approve of the word " un justly" contained in the resolution, and should have wished that " unwisely" had been substituted for it,— not, indeed, that he wag not convinced that the Reform Bill was based on ju-tice, wisdom, and truth, but that it would be a , tributing to its opponents a wilfulness of error, with which, as conscientious though mistaken men, they were not in fairness chargeable. He thought it but fair that the best motives should be imputed to those who dif fered from them in opinion, and that, as they themselves acted according to the best dictates of their consciences, so, it was charitable to suppose also, did their misguided opponents.—(Hear, bear.) With respect to Reform it self, there could be no difference of opinion among those who were imbued with that axiom of the Constitutior, that the representation of the people in Parliament was the best guarantee for our national rights and liberties. Was it not a mockery to designate the system of corrup tion under which the country had so long laboured, as, forsooth, the representation of the people? And should not every honest Englishman, who valued the liberties of his country, labour heart and hand in the promotion of a measure which went to put an end to that foul system, and to substitute in its place one conducive to the development of the energies of a moral and Christian people?—(Loud cheers.) But, however anxious he was for the success of that measure, and sanguine for its results, he was not one that thought the happiness of a country depended solely upon any particular form or con struction of its Legislature. Ile besought the meeting that while they did justice to the motives of their oppo nents, many of whom were actuated by the most patriotic feelings, and ready to sacrifice all mere personal consider ations at the shrine of the country's,good, and possessed that wise and useful courage which prevented them being intimidated by popular clamour, or intoxicated by popular applause—they would not relax exerting their best ener gies for the obtaining that wise and beneficent measure which so recently had been arrested—be was confident but for a short delay—in its progress. This was the time when not so much the voice of public opinion, but the voice of national distress, called on the aristocracy to fling away with contempt and disgust that corrupt power which they had so long possessed--(Cheers)—and to give their best energies to relieve the destitute condition of their fel low countrymen, and to reclaim the Constitution.— (Cheers.) lie conclUded by entreating the people not to lne led away by the falsehood of those who bad opposed the nation's wishes, and rejected a measure which had been borne on the wings of the people's expectation. Sir C. GORING seconded the resolution ; and in doing so sail he could not admit the fori:e of the Noble Lord's objections to the word " unjustly." The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Lord W. Le.sneox moved the second resolution, to the effect that no measure of Reform could be considered real or substantial which did not lop off all close boroughs, and extend the franchise to the large unrepresented towns. When last he had addressed them on the subject of Re form he had ventured to hod out hopes that ere this the Bill would have been the law of the land ; but the cup had been dashed from their lips by an aristocracy whom he erroneously supposed to he the friends of the people. The Bill, however, must soon pass.—(Loud cheers.) Th e people should hav e their rights,—above all, the right of electing their own representatives. He did not question the right of the House of Lords to put a negative upon the measure sent up to them for consideration; but he arraigned their wisdom and po icy, and cculd not help designating the conduct of their Lordships as reckless and arbitrary injustice—'Loud cries of " Hear")—injustice calculated to goad the people to desperation.—(Cheers.) It had been said that the present unanimity of feeling of the people for Reform was a mere temporary feeling, the growth of yesterday. The fact was otherwise. The desire fur liberty had been waxing in strength for the last half cen tury, but till now the people had not an honest Ministry and a patriot King to give it a sound direction. That a measure, supported as the Reform measure had been, s hould be opposed by those who bad the daring effrontery anti matchless imprudence to assert that the only chance of earthly happiness and good Government lay in placing the lives, liberties, and property of the people at the disposal of some two-score boroughinongers, was amongst tine marvels of the age of bronze.—(Great cheering.) To believe these disinterested prophets of evil, Old Sarum VMS the palladium of hritish liberty—(Laughter and cheers)— Gatton, the bulwark of the Constitution ; and, above all, that perjuries and corruptions so notorious as that at elec tions, were the mainstay of our established religion.— (Cheers.) Yes, to believe the Anti-Reformers, our religion possessed no strength but that which was derived from cor ruption; there was no virtue but venality ; no purity but in tht filth and pealtity of raters boroughs, and no honesty Wi• talent Wilt in Peels noittihees: He could not help makibg, rine ,allusion to the totes giaren by the )flight ite :rend Alembers of the Etotise of . lie . ers aping the hill; not with a view to intimidation, but as a warning for the future. He implored them, as the Ministers of Peace, to pause cre they again endangered, by their disastrous votes, not only the ecclesiastical nut the civil establishments of the country.—(Cheers. ) Mr. DoNovate seconded the resolution. As one who had signed the requisition for that meeting, he begged leave to say that the chief object of the requisitionists was to give a palpable lie to the audacious assertion of those bo roughmongers who had in high places declared that a re-rictioti had taketi place. BM he askutl them had they chang.d t --(Loud tries of " No, no,'' and eh: ern.) Ile wished that some of the boroughrnongers were present to hear that reply,—that his lion. Friend (the Member for Gattos) iti .order to be eliisabireed of liis delosion that a:chinge kid taken place. There was no change with the Reformers. All the change was with their op ponents. The Duke of Wellington had changed within the last year, for at the commencement of the first of the two recent sessions he declared that he was opposed to every change whatever in our representative system ; but now be told them that be then spoke only in his capacity of Minister, at the same tithe requesting his friends not a to pledge themselves for or against a general measure of Reform. This was a sprat thrown out by the Nottle Duke to catch a herring—(A ;augh)—but it would not succeed in deluding the people of England.—(Cheers and "No, no.") He trusted that the other arta of the Anti-Reform faction would prove equally unsuccessful, and that, above all things, tumult and riot would be carefully avoided, as the only enemies which the Bill had to contend with. The disgraceful scenes which had lately taken place at Lids - Col were to be lamented by every friend to social order—that was to every Reformer, and not the less so that they were occasioned by the obstinate folly of an Hon. and Learned Knight, who, though advised to stay away that peace might be preserved, entered the town escorted by a force which showed how little his convictions of a re-action having taken place in the public mind with respect to the Bill squared with his oft-repeated assertions.—( Hear.) Mr. PARTINGTON (Chairman of the Sessions) pro posed the next resolution, expressive of gratitude to his Majesty and confidence in his Ministers, for their desire to effect a settlement of the great measure of Reform. The lion. Gentleman entered into an el 'borate argument in order to show that by the ancient principle and practice of the Constitution no man had a right to be taxed who was not duly represented,--that all chartered corporate rights were originally fiscal,—and that all residents in boroughs were included by the term " burgensis." Mr. GORING seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. Mr. KEMP, M.P , moved the address to the King. However lie might lament the delay which had taken place in the final success of the measure in which they were all so deeply interested, it was plain that one advantage had followed front the delay,—namely, that the principle of the Bill had received a more thorough discussion; and, as a consequence, had generated a more deep-rooted and ex tensive conviction of its justice and expediency-4 Hear, hear)—and had served to draw a palpable line of distinc tion between those who were friends of the people and those who were not.---(Hear, hear.) Mr. BLACKMAN seconded the motion, and little thought, 25 years ago, when he used to be almost alone in raising up his voice for a measure like that they were then seeking for, that it should happen to him to be called upon at a great county meeting to second an address to the King, with a view, as he earnestly hoped, to the final settlement of the Reform question.—(Hear, hear.) Reformers hi therto had to address none almost but opponents; now they could meet no opponents to argue and convince. He conceived that the word " unjustly" was strictly appli cable to the Lords in rejecting the people's Bill; for by what other term than that of injustice could they desig nate the supercilious expulsion of a measure which, after two mouths' full discussion in the House of Commons, and which, moreover, related to the construction of the House of Commons only, and trenched not in any way upon their Lordship's' own rights and privileges ?—( Hear. ) If the Bill of Rights contained any one clause more impor tant than another, it was, that election should be free, and to insure this valuable end it was ordered that the King's military power should not be within a certain number of miles of the place of election, lest its presence might in any way interfere with its unrestricted freedom, and that no Peer should interfere in his own person. But what was the practice ? Was it not not( rious that five or six Peers returned sixty-two so called representatives of the people, in whose election the people of England had as much choice as the inhabitants of the Sand wich Islands?—(Hear, hear.) And was it not notorious that the rights of the people to choose their own represen tatives was a matter of daily traffic by some score of boroughmongers?—(Hear, hear.) And here he would ask the Right Rev. Casuists who had lately distinguished themselves by their zeal'against the cause of the people, bow it was that they could reconcile their conduct in night after night voting for severe laws against smug gling and poaching with their letting the illegal traffic of boroughmongers not only pass unpunished but actually defeat a measure intended for its extinction ?—(Cheers.) Major BEAUCLERCK did not mean to object to the reso lutiona which had been just put to the meeting, but only to express his regret that they were not couched in more bold and unqualified language. Till the people were repre sented, taxation was to all intents and purposes robbery,— that was to say, that no tax was strictly legal which was not imposed by a House of Commons the free choice of the people.—(Cheers.) Under such mockeries of representa tion as those which had disgraced the country fir too long a period, taxation was but an organized system of plunder under the name of law.—(Continued cheers.) But their system of robbery must soon end. The King, and the Government, and the nation had pronounced its fiat, and not all the arts and vile practices of a faction could keep it longer in existenee.—(Hear, hear.) 'lle gallant gentleman then urged upon the meeting the expe diency of forming Political Unions like those of Londor:, Manchester, and Birmingham. These Unions went o❑ the sound principle, that no roan had a right to be taxed who had not a voice in the election of those who imposed the taxes, and therefore would not rest in their endeavours till every man who arrived at the age of manhood por sessed the right of suffrage.—(Hear, hear.) If Parliament should at once see the wisdom of passing an efficient mea sure of Reform like that lately under its consideration, the unions would gladly hail such a measure as one calcu lated to effect much national good ; but if thwarted by delay, their object would be no less a measure than uni versal suffrage. It had been sail, that Reform would put nothing in the pockets of the people. He denied the as sertion. A Reformed Parliament would repeal the many burdens and taxes, and tho many absurd laws which in peded the industry of the people, and thereby enable them to command the necessaries of life far more than hitherto. Sir GODFREY WERSTEE. had been asked to move one of the resolutions which the meeting had just unanimously adopted, but declined ; not that he objected to their prin ciple, but that he thought they did not go far enough, and should be couched in stronger and plainer language. --(Cheers.) He was one who would not suppress his wish to see the temporal power of the Bishops separated from their spiritual—(Hear, hear)—and could have wished that an allusion had been made to the matter in the address to the King. " For twenty years," continu' d the Hon. Baronet, " have I been the uncompromising advocate for Reform. Twenty years ago I declared that I would not desist from my labours till the cause of Re form was triumphant. It has triumphed—(Hear)—and I have lived to see my prophecies fulfilled. I will now make another declaration ; and that is, that I will never rest from my efforts, nor relax my purpose, till I see the Bishops removed from their seats in the House of Lords, and confined to the exercise of their spiritual duties. — (Tremendous cheering.) Unless they mend their ways, I tell them that their tithes and their Bishoprics will have a common end, that is, a common destruction.—(Cheers.) Mr. 'WALKER next addressed the meeting, urging the expediency of union, firmness, patience, and perseverance on the friends of Reform. They might be convinced that the longer tile grievances were unredressed, the fuller would be the measure of redress As his friend, Major Cartwright, used to say, " if they refuse us grains now, it will only be that we may take it in shovels-full here- after." Mr. ELPHINSTONE spoke in favour of the people form ing Political Unions as the beat means of obtaining the great object all bad in view. Colonel EVANS agred with his friends Major Beau clerck and Sir God;rey Webster, in regretting that the language of the resolutions was not snore forcible tlt,n that in which they were expressed. Ile was one who thought that the term " unjust" was most correctly ex pressive of the conduct of the House of Lords in ieji.cting the Reform Bill, and he was also one who considered that the votes given by the Right Rev. Prelates on that oc casion wire conducive to the perpetuation of a most im moral, and most irreligious, and most unjust isysteua. —(Cheers.) He had no doubt that Ministerl.y 4 bring forward a measure fully as efficient in r' and more pet fect in detail, than their forte He knew nothing less would satisfy the (Hear.)
