S TAMP ORD. • In the early part of last week a public meeting of the inhabitants of Vintry Ward was held at Cutler's-hall, to addr, as his Majesty upon the rejection of the Reform Hill by the House of Peers. When the address to his Majesty was read, one gentleman, Mr. Woodward, held up his hand against it. lie was however the only dis sentient, and not being able to stem the torrent single handed, he resorted to a novel kind of expedient, which proved ti be equally unavailing. Upon the resolution that the proceedings of the day he advertised in the usual Morning and Evening Papers, Mr. WoonwAstu asked what was the expense ttf adver tising each meeting? The Chairman, Mr. Deputy WHITBY, said somewhere about 144.: . Mr. WOODWARD—And there have been three meetings upon this subject, the expence of which amounted to 421. Pray out of what fund was that piid? CHAIRMA).T—Out of the ward rate. Alan was theft moved by TzmpLE Fitz- LAIR, Esquire, ,of Lybster, and . being THOMAS AUBItAt SiNtLAitt, Esquire, was ' by the Meeting, viz:— crisis the following Address to his __ing;William the Fourth, expressive intents of this General Meeting of the. )e now adopted, and that it be forthwith irman to George Sinclair, Esquire, Member. county, and George Sinclair, Esq. Member tney, with a teqdest that they will, with as lay the same at the foot of the Throne, viz. 'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJES LI. !lOUS SOVEREIGN, 's loyal and devoted subjects, the Free .B of the Peace, Commissioners of Sup .as of the county of Caithnoss, hasten at . crisis, to lay at the foot of your Throne the of that .unalterable attachment which we and of that unlimited confidence your Majesty's enlightened and pa- - _ .This:littie borough, which made Itself memorable•last year by defeating, flie_Marquis of Exeter, and effected its emancipation in s4e of the arts of bribery On the one hand, arid ejectments On' the other; came forward in a very spirited manner on Friday to address the King. In addition to the patriotism and disin terestedness manifested on the election contests, there is ano ther and still more conspicu'oUs: proof of the great devotion of , the Staniford 'People to the cause Of Reform, in the fact, that the late - Reform Bill, by-allowing ,the addition of an adjoining parish, would let in so many new voters who are exclusively tenants of the Marquis of .Exeter as would go far to endanger, if not to destroy their ne - Wly-acquired freedom. Many of our readers will recollect tkie, debate in which Mr -Tennyson, the Member for Stamford,. thOUgh 'himself in "office, protested un- , availingly against the application of this clause of annexation, to Stamford, and gave notice of a motion against it. On Friday these determined Refornters met,,after the Mayor and. Aldermen (who are creatures of the Marquis of Exeter) had refused to grant the prayer of a most respectable requisition, which asked the Mayor to call-a meeting, or at least to grant the use of the Town hall, in which a meeting might be held. The answer was, "It cannot be done." Not that they would not, but they could not. Orders, doubtless, had been received from Burghley.house, which,- as one of the speakers observed, is now "bristling with cannon," and the puppets- of the local Magis tracy were compelledto obey. The public ineeting._.Olift_of the .hrgest ever known, took • plaie in the _Tennygto Arivisjptekiwhea Capt.3in St. George Lyster was called to the Chair. Mr. HATFIELD, surgeon,_ proposed the following resolu tion _ _ )ious the t [t of . .

Walbrook.buildinas, Oct. 2,0, JB3l. - - - Friend* and Fellow-countrymen!--Our road is clear. Our mind is made up. We will stand by Lurd Grey. That illustrious Statesman has declared that the Bill of Reform shall become law, in all its essential principles and provlsions. The whole history of his life forbids us to distrust his word. The strength of a united nation, which he wields, forbids us to distrust his power. Therefore we v.tf will stand by Lord Grey. And if by any possibility lie •ra a shOuld be driven from power, we will carry him back upon the shoulders of the people: ~ s tzt Friends and Fellow-countrymen !--The King, the nisters, the House of Commons, and the people, are all united. All these have given a proof that they are true to • the cause of liberty, and that they are deermined to carry the Dill of Reform into a law. This holy le ague is invincible. Nothing canibake its power, if no discord or disunion arises within itself. It is for you, therefore, to shun discord as the only rock on which your hopes can be wrecked. - Discord among ye:wives would girt to your enemies the only possible chancre of obtaining a triumph over you. Let no disunion arise among yon, and nothing • can prevent thedownfall of that atrocious oligarchy which has so long trampled upon the liberty and happiness of the v a i country. n e; .nd et ha' of th , v has ;, hing !

Mr. Woonwaap—l thought so; but I beg to caution you against St. Thomas's day, should the Ward accounts be produced then.—(A cry of " They will be of course ") . Well, I caution you, Mr. Chairman, that you are open to an indictment for a misdemeanour fur misapplying the funds of the Ward.—(Laughter.) I know a Ward Deputy against 'whom a bill 'of indictment was found at the Old Bailey, and I became his bail.—(Laughter.)

MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM FOR FILLING DE CAYED TEETH, without Heat or Pressure, and IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, without Wires or other Ligatures. MONSIEUR AIALLAN and SON, Sur geon Dentists, No. 32, GREAT RUSSELL STREET, BLOOMSBURY, grateful for the nigh and extensive patronage which has so eminently distinguished their professional exertions since their arrival in the British Metropolis, respectfully announce to their Friends and the Public in general, that they still continue to restore DE CAYED TEETH, with their celebrated MINERAL SUCCEDANEUAI, so universally recommended by the Faculty of London and Paris. The operation of Filling Teeth is perfc.med in a few seconds, without the slightest pain, heat, or pressure. They also FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, in a manner singularly efficacious, and SUPPLY WHOLE or PARTIAL SETS of TEETH formed of the above INCORRODIBLE MINERAL or of Natural Sub stances, without WIRE or other LlGATURES—guaran teed to answer every purpose for Articulating and Masti cating The Faculty are respectfully invited to witness the suc cessful resnit of the Mineral Succedaneum. N.B. One of the above firm may be consulted for a short period, on Mondays and Thursdays at No. 31, New st:eet, Birmingham ; and alternate days at No. 21, Cle mens-street, Leamington Spa. THE BRAVO, by the celebrated author of " The Pilot," &c., is, we perceive, running a triumphant career of popularity, owing not only to the attractive and mysterious character of the story, the scene of which is in Venice, the chosen abode of romance, but to the command ing talents of the author, as demonstrated more powerfully than ever in this, his last and best work. A translation of the " Memoirs of the Duchess d'Abrantes," we perceive, is announced for immediate pub lication by Messrs. COLBURN and BENTLEY. The work is full of curious particulars respecting her husband (Ge neral Jumr), and other distinguished persons attached to the fortunes of NAPOLEON. It may, indeed, be said to abound in personal anecdotes, grave and gay, sometimes carrying us to the profoundest depths of pathos —sometimes refreshing us with the most delightful mirth, but all pen cilled off with that matchless grace which a French wo man of fashion only can expect to attain. We should add that the translation of this work will be published at one half the price of the Paris edition, " That this meeting received yvith feelings of the deepest sorrow I and . indignation the news of the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, and hardly dare trust themselves to the cx. pression of their opinions relating to the Conduct of those who composed.the majority on that memorable occasion:" Mr. D. WAKEFIELD, barrister, seconded this resolution, whieli was carried upanirnously, and with great cheering. Mr. R. NEWCOMB,.jun., briefly proposed— " That this meetingfeels cheered by the intelligence which has this day arrived of the prorogation of Parliament for a very short Period ; because such a step on the part of his Majesty implies a determination to persevere in the great measure which has iden tified him with all that is great and good in the hearts of a loyal and affectionate people." Mr. STINSON having seconded it, this resolution was like. wise unanimously carried. • The EDITOR of the Staniford News, in a very long and energetic speech, insisted on the principle that the House of Lords has no right to interfere, either directly or in directly, with the composition of the House of Commons. After enlarging on this and other topics, principally connected with the local struggle against the Marquis of Exeter and Duke of Newcastle, the speaker, amid great cheering, proposed the fol lowing strong resolution 0 That this meeting considers the interference of the House of Peers with the composition of the House of Commons highly il legal and unconstitutional, inconsistent with the established prac tice of the House-of Lords in not interfering with Money Bills, and a wholesale violation of the principle of the Standing , Order of the House of Commons, that it is a high breach of privilege to interfere with the election of a Member to satin that House;' and therefore this meeting most humbly as well as loyally prays his Majesty, that in case any furthur obstruction be offered by the Peers to the passing of a Bill to amend the people's House of Commons, his Majesty will of his own Royal pleasure follow the example of his illustrious predecessors, in withholding writs from all places mentioned in schedule A of the late Reform Bill, in struct all the places named in schedule B to return one Member each, and give to the places mentioned in the other schedules such additional representatives as are there specified." Mr. BAKER, the Chairman of the Committee for effecting the emancipation of Stamford, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The following resolutions were proposed by different gentle men, and unanimously carried : "'That this meeting cannot entertain the smallest doubt, that the measure described in the third resolution, or the adoption of some equally efficient step commensurate with the great crisis to which a selfish minority has brought the majority of numbers, wealth, and intelligence, is necessary to the safety of that minority which has so rashly arrayed itself against the will ofagreat nation. " That this meeting, having the fullest confidence in the zeal of his Majesty and of his Ministers, respecting the great work of Reform, nevertheless believes that the most vigorous efforts are necessary, on the part of every Reformer, in order to speedily de feat an oligarchy now threatening the kingdom with convulsion, by opposing itself to the wishes of the Crown and the will of the people. They, therefore, cheerfully express their readiness to strain every nerve, and even to lay down their lives, in order to avert this imminent calamity, and to carry the only measure that can extinguish a faction bent on its own ruin and on that of the nation. " That an address, founded on the above resolutions be adopted as the address of this meeting, and that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex be requested to present the same to the King." Mr. WILSON, in proposing one of these resolutions, very happily contrasted the security in which their neighbour, the venerable Earl Fitzwilliam, lived in the midst of his grateful tenantry, with the bristling cannon on the turrets of Lord Exeter's mansion. , Mr. DRAK ARD moved the address, echoing the first five resolutions ; after which, on the suggestion . of the Editor of the News, the numerous meeting gave three hearty cheers for the King, three cheers for Mr. Tennyson and the glorious majority in the Commons after the Bill had been thrown out by the ...... Peers, and three most dreadful groans for the Bench of Bishops, who, it was observed, were ominously connected with the number Al ; as in 1641, a Bill passed the House of Commons to exclude them from sitting in the House of Lords, and long before 1,941, another Bill of the same nature would, doubtless, be enacted. The meeting then broke up in great order, and the address will be sent to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex for presentation. . WINDS OR. • (Abridged from the Windsor Express.) This meeting was held on Monday, pursuant to a public notice of the requisitionists who had formed themselves into a Committee for the purpose, upon the Mayor refusing to call the meeting himself. JAMES RAMSBOTTOM, Esq., one of the Members for the borough, was unanimously called to the chair, Dr. FERGUSSON moved the first resolution, " 1. That the inhabitants of the town of Windsor and its neigh bourhood feel the deepest regret and disappointment at the re jection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords," which was seconded by Mr. ItENOALL. Mr. JOHN RAmsnorrom, jun., moved, and Mr. Votairs seconded, the second resolution, " That, notwithstanding such rejection, they repose entire confidence in his Majesty's Ministers, relying on their firmness and integrity for the completion of the great measure of Bcform, unimpaired in principle and effect." The following resolutions were also voted : " 3 That, warmly as the spirit of loyalty towards our patriotic King has ever glowed in the breasts of the inhabitants of Wind sor, that spirit is now, if possible, even mire excited by the firm , ness and determination with which his Majesty has supported his Ministers at the present eventful crisis. "4. That this meeting cannot separate without recording their conviction of the vital importance of avoiding, and their determination, by every means in their power, of preventing, whatever may tend to the disturbance of the public peace : the observance of order, and respect for the laws, being the best and surest means of finally attaining the great and important measure of Reform." After which an Address to the King was carried, like the re solution, unanimously. We have not room for the speeches, and can only farther mention, that a vote of censure was passed on the Mayor, for his refusal to call the meeting. At the conclusion, three times three were then given for our patriot King, the friend of his people; the same number of cheers for Earl Grey and his Ma jesty's Ministers, and the like number also for the great and glorious cause of Reform. The cheering, which was almost deafening, lasted for some time, after which the meeting sepa rated in the most orderly manner. NORTHUMBERLAND. (Abridged from the Northumberland Advertiser of Tuesday.) On Wednesday last a numerous and respectable body of free holders and other inhabitants took place in the New Court House, Morpeth, to deliberate on the steps necessary to be taken in the present state of the Reform question. G. SILVEitTOP, Esq., of Minster acres, took the chair as High Sheriff of the county. C. W. BIGGE, Esq. of Linden, said, Gentlemen, Mr. B. said the Bill has been defeated by its opponents, but I am sure you will agree with me that it is not irretrievably lost, and that it has not yet gone to the tomb of all the Capulets. The Bill, if I may use the expression, which I certainly do with great reverence,—the Bill " is not dead but sloepeth." Success is certain in the end. It is a question of time only. Gentlemen, I shall now propose the resolutions, and also that there be founded on them an humble address to his Majesty, praying him, in the present eventful crisis of the country, not to withdraw from Ministers that confidence with which he has hitherto ho noured them. I have further to propose, that an address to Earl Grey be agreed upon—to whom, for his great exertions on this, as, indeed, on all occasions when the object was to secure public liberty, I consider the nation owes a large debt of gratitude—humbly but strongly requesting him not to be dis heartened under the present seemingly adverse turn of affairs— not to withdraw from the councils of his Sovereign, but to con tinue to lend his great and splendid talents to the support and benefit of his country.—(Great applause.) Mr. Bigge concluded by reading the resolutions (seven in number) ; they were se conded by Captain C. B. Grey, of Styford. The High Sheriff then proceeded to put them singly, and had read the first, when Sir C. M. L. MONCK, Bart. of Belsay Castle, observed—Mr. High Sheriff, although I do not doubt that a large majority of the present company regret exceedingly the loss of the Reform TIM, I am not disposed to feel any hesitation in declaring that I happen to be one who regrets it in no degree whatever.—(Dis approbation.) Gentlemen, I suppose liberty of speech is allowed her e. —(Hisses and cries of " yes.") If, as you say you do, you : h a t nt v the House of Commons to be the reflected image of the people, then you sure l y a ll ow th a t f ree d om o f s p e ech which you are so de s i rous t h e House of Commons shou ld possess . I object t ßeform Bill, because it goes to shift the representation out of thoSe lands which hold the' property of the country, and place if ifirhands which do not hoki the property of the countrY...--4Uproar.) • JAMEkI LOSH, of Jesmorid, kNq.ilrose;amidst kind cheers,' and said—What are we met for,? :,Sfsch, Of up" are friendly to the excellent.apd,admitable Bill which been rejected : are mettoaprove of it. Such as i think it nang.certainly have, a right to say so. An opportunity will soon be offered for put_. ting an end to all doubt upon the, subject, as far as the opinions of this meet* de Concerned. . G. T. DUN N, Esq. of Nekeistle, begged 'that the word "dismay," tiled In the reielution before them, might be amended. He proposed, that instead of:saying we viewed the rejectiodwith " regret and dismay,'t to use the" expression with " regret and indignation." The Alteration, was received with applause. , The - Chairman then put the first resolution, and Sir C. Monck's hand being the only one against it, much laughter, hissing, Vic. ensued. • - The second resolution having been read, Sir C. MONCK rose and saldhe opposed it more earnestly than the former. The resolution was then put and carried, Sir C. M.'s opposi tion being received as before. On the third resolution being- read, Sir C. Monck if this resolution merely goes to hope that Ministers, whosover they may be, 'will again submit the question of Reform to the consideration of Parliament, I assent to it ; but if it refers to the reintroduction of that Bill which has already been before two branches of the Legislature, then I dissent from it (disap probation). The resolution was carried as before. M. W. RIDLEY, ofßlagdon, Esq., next addressed the meet ing, and said.--:Gentlemen, The third resolution requests his Majesty to sanetion flits Bill, this-whole Bill; and-nothing but this Rift, which will certainly admit of some improvement, alterations, and amendments ; while the fourth pledges the meeting to any Bill that may be brought forward in future. I am an advocate for the opening :of boroughs, the extension of the franchise, and a full and fair representation of the people in Parliament, but I could not.pledge myself to support the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. I therefore object to its being recommended in the third resolution, more particularly when his Majesty's sanction of any future Bill is inconsistently re commended in the fourth. Mr. LOSH thought that two or three , ivords Avould.relieve the Hon. Gentleman out of his difficulty. RALPH CARR, of Dunston, Esq., would fete for the third resolution, for he confessed his partiality to the Bill as it. stood. He would also rote for the fourth. The fourth resolution having been put, Sir C. MONCK had never heard of so mad a request as to urge the King to pass any future Reform Bill that might come before him. Mr. CARR suggested that the words any "safe and efficient" Bill might be added. Mr. LOSH said, if sir Charles Mond( will be satisfied by the addition of a few words to the resolution, well and good. Mr. BIGGE, respecting the latter part of the clause objected to, had no objection to use a few words if they would overcome the difficulties of the case—for instance there might be inserted after the words any Bill " grounded upon the principles of the late rejected Bill," in which case there would be no doubt as to the meaning of the resolution. The resolution, as amended, was then carried, as was the succeeding one, without comment. HENRY WITHAM, of Lartington, Esq., said, the House of Lords has neglected the firm and constitutional language— the universal and determined feeling of the people upon this great question. Their Lordships have suffered public disgrace by theirpresent proceeding. They have shewn themselves more attached to corruption than liberty--more attentive to their own interests than the wishes of the people; whilst the fact is, that if they would have lost any thing by passing the till, it would have been a mere surreptitious advantage, which they had no right to. They will, however, be made to disgorge their plunder, for the people have acquired'a knowledge of their rights, and dare to assert them. Mr. Witham concluded by reading an address to his Majesty, which was seconded by J. JOPLIN, of Newton Hall, Esq., and carried with the customary exception. G. BAKER, of Eleniore, Esq. observed, :although I . have turned 79 years of age, I have thought it my duty to come here this day and move an addreis to Lord Grey—the greatest man Europe ever 'produced, for so I must call him when I consider his eminent services and acquirements. .No man can wish his country better than I do ; and I recommend you .to be firm and temperate, and this Bill, or an equally good one, must be carried to your satisfaction at last.--(Applause.) The Rev, C. BIRD seconded the address. The question has often been asked, " What would the Lbrds do ?" They have rejected the Bill, and the question now is, " What will the peopled° ?" Why they will have the Bill; they will never for sake the Bill nor its authors, nor let any other person run away with the honours justly due to Earl Grey—(Loud applause.) They shall not take the wreath from his brow and put it on that of Lord Eldon. ROBERT INGHAM, of Wcstoe, Esq., alluded to the unanimous feeling of regret with which the news of the Reform Bill having been lost had been received at Shields ; and then animadverted upon the indignation with Which Sir C. Monck had repelled the assertion, that the opposition to the Bill was factious and malignant. There was a remark made by the Hon. Baronet, that this Bill tended to shift the repre sentation from persons of property to persons who had none. This impression, he (Mr. T.) thought must have arisen in the Hon. Baronet's mind from an imperfect study of the measure; for, as he understood, it would admit several classes possessed of infinitely more property than the 40s. freeholder, but who had been previously deprived of any such right.—(Applause.) In answer to a very general call, JOHN GREY, of Milltield, Esq., came forward, and went the full length of the Bill which had been so unhappily rejected in the House of Lords. \VAL L. SMART, of Trewhitt House, Esq., then moved a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for his upright and impartial conduct in the Chair, which was seconded by C. W. Bigge, Esq., and carried unanimously. Nine cheers were then given for the King, and six for Earl Grey, and the meeting broke up. LEITH. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) On Tuesday, a numerous and respectable meeting of the in habitants of Leith took place in the Exchange there, called by requisition, for the purpose of addressing his Majesty on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, and expressing their entire confidence in the present Administration. Bailie SCEALES, who was called to the chair, briefly stated the object of the meeting, when Mr. JAMES B. scour said that he would simply read the resolution entrusted to his care. Mr. CASSELS, in seconding the resolution, said that there was scarcely an Anti-Reformer in Leith, and as they were thus all of one way of thinking as to the great cause, every thing went smoothly with them. He did not feel much surprised that their Lordships had rejected the Bill, because they had kept themselves aloof from the people, and knew little or nothing of their wants and feelings. It had been remarked, that the best rulers in a nation had mixed, in some period of their lives, with the people. As an instance of this, he would mention Russia, which had originally been an Asiatic power, and never could have arrived at that degree of importance in the mercan tile world which it had obtained, but for the exertions of Peter the Great, who mixed with the different handicrafts amongst whom he had travelled; and he had worked in Holland as a ship-carpenter to acquire the knowledge of ship-building, to advance the interests of his country ; and thus it was that she became a great European Power. Again, the head of our pre sent Government was nothing the worse for having mixed with ! the people in his younger days; and there was little doubt but that many of the feelings of his Majesty were engendered when he wore the tarry jacket of a midshipman. There had been no argument in the House of Lords of a particular nature—the positions were always general, such as that the measure was re volutionary, and a more absurd argument, it had been repeat edly proved, never was advanced. If the Lords had ventured to consider the situation of one place after another, they would have found their arguments of no avail. Could any one, for instance,or 7,00( ; i h n a h v a e b n i t a a m n t e s d , wh e i c town d o n f oLeith, share consisting s t i h s t e i n e g l ec o t f i `2:3 0 ,000 f a representative to Parliament, without feeling ashamed at the weakness of the position which they attempted to hold ? Captain CARNEGIE moved the second resolution, which was seconded by Mr. HARVEY. Mr. MORRISON proposed the third resolution, and alluded to what would have been the state of the country had Earl Grey given up the helm of affairs when the Bishops and others had deserted the cause of the country. The people felt that their cause was in good hands, and, although delayed for a little, the Bill must ultimately triumph. Mr. GILLON seconded the resolution. Mr. PERKINS, in proposing the fourth resolution, after in quiring who the Lords were, and what placed them in their high situation, said, that if the indignation of the people were excited against the Lay Lords, what must it be against the mitred aristocracy ?—those should-be messengers of peace, who had taken up the fire-brand and thrown it into the midst of the people —for such had been their conduct. No sympathy had been shown towards the people. He had little doubt, however, that the doctrine of expediency would work an effectual cure before the next meeting of Parliament ; and he trusted not a little also, to the warning just given by the French Chamber of Deputies, in voting a hereditary Peerage useless. Mr. MITCHELL, jun., seconded the motion. It was then agreed, that the address to his Majesty should be f or warded to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, with a req uest that his Royal Highness would present the same; and that James Sceales, Esq., Chief Magistrate, should sign it in the name of the inhabitants of Leith. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, Mr. MITCHELL moved that three cheers should be given for his Majesty, three for his Ministers, and three for the Reform Bill, when imme diately the hall resounded with the most rapturous acclamations , accompanied with waving of hats and handkerchiefs. If dlr. M. . the ministry of Lord GREY be u pset in London, let them beware o f th e pavemerit3 !—Le Corscurc. Mr. Woovw.aan said it dropped, and peace was re mtored in the Watd.—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN-I have no fear about it; if this meeting order me to get the resolutions advertised, I will cheerfully pay the expense.—(Cheers:.) Mr. WOODWARD again pressed on the Chairman that it was an enormous crime. He produced the Act of Par liament for the government of the Ward, and said that by that Act a fund was authorized to be raised to pay the wages of watchmen and beadles, " and other charges inci. dent thereto." The expense of advertising public meet ings could not be incident to watching the Ward, and therefore the Deputy would be liable to an indictment for misapplying the funds.—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN again stated that he did not fear indictment for doing what the meeting ordered him. Mr. KNAPP said that by Mr. Woodward's own showing the Deputy was justified in paying this expense, for the object of this meeting was to preserve public peace and tranquillity.—(Cheers.) . Mr. WOODWARD-Why, this 421. would find an extra watchman for a whole year. The CHAIRMAN said if the country continued in its present agitated state, they would require many extra watchmen.—(Cheers.) AIGENTLEMAN stated that Mr. Woodward was opposed to the Reform Bill. Mr. WOODWARD denied it; he had not interfered with the Reform Bill one way or the other. The resolution was then carried, Mr. Woodward being the only dissenting party. On a vote of tbanks to the Chairman being agreed to, that gentleman acknowledged the compliment in a neat speech. He said he had been a Reformer ever since the year 11792, when Lord (then Mr.) Grey presented the celebiated petition of the " Friends of the People" to the Hotuieof Commons. A Reform was absolutely necessary to save the country from worse horrors. It was to a -iystern of taxation, without representation, that mast of the evils which now afflicted the country were owing. It was that pernicious system which cauied a separation from England of a large portion of the British dominions-- which portion was now a flourishing republic, and in which there was no House of Peers nor Bench of Bishops. WORKSOP, OCT. 17. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza,—Will you have the goodness in your next Journal to contradict an assertion Mr. Wake made in his letter of the '7th October, as to what the Duke of Newcastle said respecting the Reform petition presented by the Duke of Norfolk from Worksop. Mr. Wake, with that sarcasm and assurance so peculiar to himself, has reflected upon the veracity of the country correspondent of the Noble Duke, but why he best knows, at all events his having done so has strewn both a want of good sense and good feeling ; however, it must be allowed that such conduct rendered it doubly incumbent upon him to speak the truth.; but I am sorry to find that since he submitted to a recent ac cusation he thinks lightly of the word. Now to prove that he has written an untruth, I only beg to draw your attention to what fell from the Duke of Newcastle, as stated in the very Paper Mr. Wake has referred to, the Morning Post of the sth October, and it will there be found that the Dissenters, with whom Mr. Wake seems all at once to wish to be classed, were not mentioned by the Noble Duke; at all events, it is stated in the Morning Post, that his Grace said the petition was signed princi pally by Catholics, and not as stated in Mr. Wake's letter, entirely by Catholics and Dissenters. With regard to the Vicar of Worksop, I lament exceed ingly that I omitted to say, when I sent the declara• tion of the inhabitants of Worksop against the Bill to Iris Grace, how the Vicar of Worksop had disposed of his name, for by not having taken that precaution I appear to have led the Noble Duke into an error, and for which I sincerely beg his Grace's pardon, but so attached is that Reverend Gentleman to the House of Norfolk, or the living of Worksop, which is in the gift of the Duke of Norfolk, and it must he remembered that the Reverend Gentleman is verging on '7O, and has an only ,son brought up to the same profession, that with that Noble House he must and will go ; but the petition also bore the signature of a gen. tleman of Worksop, the Vicar's intimate friend, and who frequently assists in the Church service, who immediately declared on hearing that his name was to the petition in favour of the Bill, and with some warmth, that if that were the case it was a forgery. Perhaps as Mr. Wake attended this petition so closely he will say how this gen tleman's name, and the infant Richard Gilbert's, nearly twelve years old, got upon it, but if he cannot, perhaps he will apply to the other gentlemen who assisted in carrying it round the country. Mr. Wake is a Catholic, in saying this I mean no reflection, hut I do think, as well as some other gentlemen, it was a little selfish to keep the petition exclusively in the possession of Catholics, for I believe, out of a committee of about a dozen, all workers, there was only one gentleman out of the pale. I must confess I scarcely understand why Mr. Wake should say he has yet to learn why Catholics and Dissenters should not have an equal interest with Church of England men in the Reform Bill, fur I never said they had not, nor to the best of my recollection has the Noble Duke, but on the contrary I should say they have, or think they have, a much greater. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, J. BEARDSHAW. Miss PORTER'S new tale of "The Field of the Forty Footsteps " has been called the triumph of her genius. She has shewn the reader what may be done by some of our London legends, and, taking one of the most striking of these for her theme, she has evoked the dark spirits of CROMWELL'S time, and revealed to us in the midst of their mysterious and unhallowed plots, the Pro.. tector himself, IREfON, FAIRFAX, HARRISON, President BRA OSHA NV R, and the other Regicides. CHARLES I. ap pears among them in sad but dignified guise, and the strange destiny of his young scn HENRYis traced in the most curious and impressive manner. The whole subject is sacred to human sympathy and to romance. SHIPWRECK AT ARDMORE.—On Mond a y letters were received in this ci t y announcin g the loos of a homeward-bound vessel, about 400 tons burden, laden with a valuable cargo, at Ardmore, in the county of Waterford, and about four miles to the eastward of Youghal. The particulars have nut yet transpired, but report st a t es th a t part of the cargo consisted of silks, and that one of the country people was shot by the military while in the act of plundering the wreck. We hope to be able to give full details in our next —Cork Constitution. The author of the successful and piquant novel of " Sydenha►n" is, we understand, about to publish a sequel to that story, under the title of " Alice Paulet," the object of which is to exhibit the satirical hero in his new condition of a married man, and thus to enable him to make his caustic observations on scenes and characters which would necessarily have been excluded from his scrutiny as a bachelor. If the appearance of this novel is dreaded by many, as indeed may be expected, it will no doubt be welcomed by more. • Friends and Fellow-countrymen !--At the same time that we show confidence in the King and in his Ministers, and a fixed determination to preserve the law, let us show :s1 no weakness, no timidity, no lnkewartnness in the cause of liberty. Let all be united as one man, in the enthusiastic s, and determined support of this great, this holy cause. Let J, Political Unions be formed instantly in every town, in every district, and in every village, where they do not already exist. Let the nation stand forth in its strength, and in peaceful and is commanding majesty express its will, and that will is certain to become the law of the land. Friends and Fellow-countrymen !—Be patient. Be Pe• arsful Be firm. Be united. Be determined. Place you. confidence in the King and his Ministers. Until these shall deceive•you there can be no fear for the liberties of England. , Friends, Countrymen, And Brothers !—Listen to us. The sword must not be drawn in England. The terrible knell of the tocsin must Mit sound.—The tears of the wi dow and the orphan must not mark nor course. Th ese are the last dread alternatives of an oppressed nation. Ile influence of the oligarchy, aided by a corrupt and dege nerate bench of Bishops, has obtained a ioomentaiy tri umph in the House of Lords. By the power of the King and of the law, we will humble the c!igarchy in the dust. Our gallant neighbours, the French, effected a glorious re volution by lifting the barricades cemented with the best blood of the nation. We will have no barricades. With out blood—without anarchy—without violation of the :aw,—we will accomplish the most glorious Reformation recorded in the history of the world.—God bless the King. THOMAS ATTWOOD, Chairman.

Several new illustrations are also added. This work ought to be found not only in the library of every opertemsn, but also in that of every one who takes any delight in natural history, and books of travel. REPLACEMENT OF NOIIES.—(From the Medical Gazette.)—" Dr. BART/MIXT, in a paper in the Journal Hetdomadaire, on the reunion of parts en tirely separated from the body, gives the following nose cases, which he says he has had upon the beet authority. The first of them he obtained from a lady, who gave him her honour that it was true :—A soldier at Lyons, in 1815, had the end of his noes cut off is a duel by his ad versary's sabre. He put the piece of his nose in hie pocket to keep it warm, and returned home to is lodgings. A , ho w eve r , od p,a surgeon was sent for, who put the disunited parts together again, and they took to admiration.—For the following case the veracity of Dr. REGNAULT, of the Military Hos pital of Grand Caillon, is pledged. In the prison of nort two men had a fight, in which one of them bit off a consi derable portion of the other's nose. The unfortunate fel inoswe h w o h o o rs su b ff u e t r d ed ep t l h or e e m hi u s ti l l o a m tir did nothing for four or he had picked up, wrapped it inthhies it in his pocket.
