He b lushed for the country whe:e such son aments were advanced in the 11citite of Lords. Now, he hap. pened to have been in that very House; but instead of the transcendant ability which blight have been expected from men born to so many advantages, what had been the conviction he had arrived at in his own mind? why, this, that they had been nursed in the lap of luxury, that the faculties of their minds had been injured by over indulgence, and that they were next degree to incompetent to discharge the ditties that their birth and rank had devolved upon them. Mr. Road then moved the second resolution. Mr. R. BURNET supported the resolution; Mr. HUNS' next addressed the meeting. After alluding to the cry raised by the Anti-Reformers of the Constitution being in danger, Mr. Hunt went on to . state that it was said the Pre lates trembled for the effects of the Reform Bill. He knew no reason they could have for trembling—if they had supplied the people with good &angelical doctrines; if they had fought the good fight, then all must be well, but if such was not the case, there might indeed be cause enough for trembling.—(Hear.) The time when men would be tied down to one creed, or one opinion, was past; and they might as well attempt to bring the prismatic colours of the rainbow and blend them intd• one; its think of accomplishing it. The toieratitill of religiOtis opinions;and tilc freedom of the Press; were to Englishmen, like the bow of promise which the hand of God himself had planted in the cloud—and so long as its, prismatic hues blessed and .cheeredus; so bring was it a pledge that anarchy, desolation; and bloodshed should never viSit our shore. He then alluded to the fears en tertained by the Aristocracy, and went on to show how utterly dependant the nobility were on the efforts of the lower classes. •. _ . Three cheers were then given for the King, three for the Queen, three for the Ministry, and a grOan ofgroans for the Anti, Reformers. The I , :ational Anthem was sung by the whole as sembled, and the best thanks of the meeting having been given to the Chairman, the company dispersed.

The most highly respectable and numerously attended meg_ ings ever held in this city assembled this day at the Guildhall, front which it was compelled, by the immense multitudepresent; to adjourn to Queen -square, to which plate thousands thronged, to support our beloved Monarch and his patriotic Ministers at the present alarming crisis ; and to show their unabated zeal in promoting that paramount cause so admirably advocated in your invaluable columns. Edward Protheroe, Esq, delivered a most brilliant speech.- His enthusiastic reception by all classes of his constituents clearly demonstrated their unqualified con fidence in him and the grand cause of Reform. The numbers were estimated by a military gentleman present to exceed 48,000. When the business of the day was Over, Mr. Protheroe and his coadjutors, preceded by bands of Music and splendid banners, &c., were drawn through the principal streets in tri umph, by a delighted and grateful populace. KENDAL, OCT. 12. The news of the Lords having rejected the Reform Bill ar rived here on Sunday afternoon, and was received With the ut most grief and consternation by the inhabitants. A requisition was set on foot for a meeting of the town and neighbourhood, to consider the propriety of addressing the King; which, in the course of a few hours, was signed by 105 of the most respectable inhabitants of the place. The meeting, it is expected, will take place on Monday, and will, no doubt, be the largest ever held in Westmorland. The greatest anxiety continues to prevail for news from London; and everywhere you hear a firm deter. mination expressed never to cease agitation and exertion until the Bill—and nothing short of the Bill—be granted. In conse quence of the stagnation of trade, produced by the rejection ofthe Bill, a large fancy waistcoat house here has suspended its works, and upwards of 200 hands are thrown idle. It is now said that a large carpet manufactory has likewise been shut up. CARLISLE, OCT. 12. The blow has been struck—the Church, which has for a long period hung only, as it were, by a slender thread upon the affections of the people, has, by this one vote against Reform, completely alienated them from itself. The great meeting yesterday, and the resolutions which were passed, have in spired a strong hope that all may yet be well ; but there is a feeling displayed which cannot be mistaken. Dr. Percy, Bishop of our Diocese, than whom, if there was one man in official situation more respected than another, it was he, voted against the Bill. This was sufficient to render him odious.— Last night upwards of 8,000 persons, accompanied by banners and music, paraded his effigy, along with another representing the Devil urging him on, throughout the principal streets, and burned them both at the market-cross, the music playing " God save the King" all the time of the conflagration, and at the conclusion three cheers were given for the King, three for Earl Grey, and several more for different individuals friendly to Reform; the multitude then separated. Such a sudden and unexpected reverse of feeling towards the Bishop must have sensibly affected him, and yet he must have been aware of what would be the result. Indeed, should he offer to show himself (he has given notice of his intention of coming amongst us shortly), and the feeling continue so strong as it is at present, it is not saying too much to state that he could not do so without danger. Trade is miserable with us : a respectable firm in the iron trade closed this morning, and, by thus throwing numbers out of employment, has added to the general calamity. It is rumoured that some of the manufacturers intend doing the same, or at least of shortening their hours for working. The Reform Association meet daily, and the rush of people to hear the news is astonishing; the Association inculcate peace every morning, and thus preserve us from any ebullition of feeling and violence. TAUNTON. (From the Taunton Courier.) The excitement in this town, consequent on the rejection of the Bill by the Lords, was intense. A requisition was, in con sequence, addressed to the Bailiff. requesting him to convene a meeting on Tuesday, to present an Address to his Majesty, upon the loss of the Reform Bill in the Lords, and that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to retain in his service his Minis ters, and so exercise the functions of the prerogative as shall best tend to preserve the civil and religious liberties, and the peace and prosperity of his people, and the stability of the throne, by accomplishing the measure of Reform. At twelve, the numbers far exceeding the limits of the Guild. hall, the usual place of meeting, the meeting proceeded to the Assize Hall, which was completely filled. Dr. KINGLAKE, in a speech full of energy, constitutional doctrine, and appropriate remarks, introduced a petition, founded on resolutions which were read to the meeting. Mr. H. LEIGH supported the petition proposed by Dr. Kinglake. The Rev. SYDNEY SMITH rose and said—l feel most deeply the event which has taken place; because, by putting the two Houses of Parliament in collision with eath other, it will impede the public business, and diminish the public pros perity. I feel it as a churchman, because I cannot but blush to see so many dignitaries of the church arrayed against the wishes and happiness of the people. I feel it more than all, be cause I believe it will sow the seeds of deadly hatred between the Aristocracy and the great mass of the people. The loss of the Bill I do not feel, and for the best of all possible reasons-- because I have not the slightest idea that it is lost. I have no more doubt, before the expiration of the winter, that this Bill will pass, than I have that the Annual Tax Bills will pass—and greater certainty than this no man can have, for Franklin tells us there are but two things certain in this world—death and taxes. As for the possibility of the House of Lords preventing ere long a Reform of Parliament, I hold it to be the most absurd notion that ever entered into human imagination. Ido not mean to be disrespectful, but the attempt of the Lords to stop the pro gress of Reform reminds me very forcibly of the great storm of Sidmouth, and of the conduct of the excellent Mrs. Partington on that occasion. In the winter of 1824 there set in a great flood upon that town—the tide rose to an incredible height—the waves rushed in upon the houses, and every thing was threat ened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and ter ,inle storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with her mop and pattens, trund ling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously push ing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up, but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Parting. ton. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest. Gentlemen, be at your ease—be quiet and steady. You will beat Mrs. Partington. As to the enemies of the Bill who pretend to be Reformers, I know them, I believe, better than you do; and I earnestly caution you against them. You will have no more of Reform than they are compelled to grant—you will be hurried into a war to turn your attention from Reform. They do not under stand you—they will not believe in the improvement you have made—they think the English of the present day are as the English of the times of Queen Anne or George I. They know no more of the present state of their own country than of the state of the Esquimaux Indians. A. Cross, Esq. spoke in support of the object of the meet ing, as did P. CAREY, jun. Esq., and R. BALL, jun. Esq., who, in an admirable address, enforced the propriety of acceding to Dr. Kinglake's petition. The resolutions and petition were then put and carried unanimously. Thanks were then moved to the Bailiff. Several rounds of hearty cheers were given for our patriotic King, and one con cluding one for his Ministers, when the meeting broke up, it being nearly five o'clock. CITIZENS OF DUBLIN. DUBLIN, MONDAY, QUARTER -PAST ONE. At this mome►lt upwards of 20,000 persons (comprising men of all ranks and classes) are assembled in the great open space at the rear of the Custom-house, and fronting Beresford-place. I have never witnessed any thing equal to the enthusiasm mani fested by the immense multitude, which is momentarily in creasing. Sir E. NUGENT, Alderman, and formerly Lord Mayor of Dublin, was called to preside. Mr. BERNARD MULLINS proposed the first resolution, expressive of the strongest indignation at the rejection of the Reform Bill, which had obtained the sanction of the King, the House of Commons, and the people. Mr. MICHAEL WALSHE, a wealthy merchant, seconded the resolution, which was adopted unanimously, and amidst the most vehement cheering. Mr. IGNATIUS CALLAGHAN (Governor of the Hiber nian Banking Company) moved the second resolution, which stated that the institutions of the country could be alone endan gered by the rejection of the Reform Bill, the passing of which would have the effect of purifying and consolidating them. Mr. MACKLIN (barrister) seconded the resolution, and called upon the meeting to support their patriotic and heroic Monarch, and his single-hearted and popular Ministry, against the base machinations of the crew of borougbmongers who had so long fattened upon the spoils of the people.—(Loud cheers.) When the people of Irelatid "screwed their courage to the sticking place," their brethren in England and Scotland need entertain no apprehensliM of the result of the conflict with the wretched Tory faction.—(Cheering.) Mr. Macklin alluded to the Church—to the conduct of the Bishops, who joined in the combination to defeat the hopes of the people, and was loudly cheered in his strong animadversion upon the Right Rev. Bench. The resOltitiOn was adopted with acclamation. . _ . • • Mr. J. it MULLEN prOv.sed the third resolution, Pledging the meeting to support, with every energy of mind Ilia beftt; the King and his Ministry; at this awful crisis. Mr: LAWLESS seconded the resolution in.a very lengthened speech, in the course of which he observed that the peers who voted agai ns t th e Reform till 4-ete the Unconscious but effee t“re supporters of a repeal of the Union.—(cheers.) HALF -FAST TWO. .Mr. Lawless is still addressing the meeting, which now con.: sists of no less than 300)00 people, whose enthusiasni does not appear to be in the slightest degreethininshei by a smart shower of rain that is now coming down. The Committee appointed to prepare resolutions to be submitted to the meeting assembled at Hayes's hotel at twelve o'clock, , A set of resolutionS were sub ti; the effect, that in the event of the Ministry . belly unable to carry the Bill, the peoiile shb l Jld pltfig/.1: therhselves to pay neither tithes, chuich.rates, nor any other taxes ; And 61 demand Annual Parliaments, UniVersa.lSuffrage,Vote by Ballot, the Abolition of the Hereditary and Spiritual peerage, &c. After mita, diviitisAidii; iii which several gentlemen objected to theSe resolutions, as being ulterior arid of too strong a. ehairaetel, and others strongly approved of them, a modified resolution w as pr r iiposed a n'a generally approved of, which was substanc e- that tithes and taxes shO ld not be paid if the preient Ministry were forced to retire. I hate learned that this reSfilietibn Wilt be proposed to-day. LEICESTER, OCT. 13. A most numerous public meeting of the inhabitants of this place was held this day in an open space of ground near the Bazaar, ifurribersten‘gate, fin' the plirpOse of addY2saifig lilt Majesty; thanking him for the sanction which lie has given tb the cause of Reform, and rejoicing in the belief that his Ma jestY's 'confidence in his Present able and faithfiil Minfsters Can tinuc,s unshakeri, considering that their dontinuanbe in office is essential to the peace and prosperity Of the country. Robert Brewenv Esq. was called to the chair; The inhabitants, as in other places, have felt strongly the disappointment which the throwing out of the Reform Bill by the Bishops has occasioned. Atniing other resolutioni, one was paSsed recommending the dismissal from public Offiees of all perstins Mit knotvn to be ta- Vourable to the present Ministry, from the highest to the lowest situation under Government. Such was the feeling manifested towards the Bishops, that every remark which touched upon their recent conduct was received with great applause. DORSET ELnCTION.—(TIIMTEENTII DAY.) DORCHESTER, FRIDAY. The polling has been unusually slow this tnorning. 31J., Pon sonby has issued an address to the freeholders, in which he says that it is tile decided opinion of Many eminent lawyers that the votes of those persons who have for the first time claimed the elective franchise, and voted for his opponent, cannot be sus tained, and that the number of votes befOre th e assessor will de cide the contest in his favour.

This morning the town assumed a more gay appearance than usual, in consequence of notices issued on Wednesday calling on the inhabitants to meet on this day for the purpose of addressing his Most Gracious Majesty on the rejection Of the Refortn Bill by the House of Peers. The various Benefit Societies, with banners, and accompanied by a military band, paraded the streets. It was at first intended to have held the meeting in the As sembly-Room, but from the great number of persons that were cong. egated in the market.pl .ce long before the hour of meeting, it was judged expedient to hold it in the open air. A waggon was placed opposite the market-house, into which the persons that intended to take part in the proceedings took their places. The greatest harmony and unanimity of opinion pervaded all classes ; and we were informed that upon no former occa sion had a more respectable or more numerous body of per sons assembled. At the time of the appointment of the Chair man between 4000 and 501)0 persons were clustered together. Among the most wealthy and influential we noticed H. Sheppard, Henry Miller, J. Yeatman, J. A. Wickham, J. Bush, Esqrs. Rev. Messrs. Lurwen, J. F. Newman, &c. &c. J. BUNK, Esq. was called to the Chair. J. A. WICKHAM, Esq., presented himself to the meeting be fore the Chairman had taken his seat, but spoke in so low a tone as to be totally inaudible to the major part present; from what we could hear, he wished to remove from the minds of those present, who might entertain an opinion, that he was in imical to the cause of Reform, butfor the present, he should re main neuter. The CHAIRMAN then rose and complimented the meeting on their orderly conduct on this and on other occasions of great ex citement, and implored them not to depart from it. H. SHEPPARD, Esq., proposed the first resolution. " That an humble address be presented to his Majesty, ex pressive of our disappointment and sorrow at the rejection of the Bill for a Reform in the representation of the people in the Com. mons House of Parliament, by the House of Lords." This was seconded by J. YEATMAN, Esq. The second resolution was proposed by the Rev. J. F. NEWMAN. " That we consider it our bounden duty at this momentous crisis, to reassert our firm adherence to and unqualified approval of the principles and leading provisions of that great measure ; and to express our unabated confidence in his Majesty's present patriotic and enlightened Ministers; who, in introducing and conducting it, have-consulted the best interests of their country." This was seconded by Mr. PLAY DEN. The third resolution was proposed by the Rev. S. CURWEN. " That his Majesty be requested to continue to repose his Royal confidence in his present faithful Counsellors, and to exert his Kingly authority in such manner es may be deemed most effbctual for securing to the people a full, fair, and free repre sentation in Parliament." The resolutions were prefaced by eloquent and argumentative speeches, we allude to those delivered by the Rev. Mr. NEW MAN and HENRY MILLER, Esq., on moving the Address to.his Majesty, which was seconded by Wfurrmmt, Esq., to be pre selted by Viscount Melbourne. The rain, which pelted down in pitiless torrents during the proceedings, did not deter the people from staying. A.vote of thanks was proposed and seconded to his Grace the Duke of Somerset, Earl of Cork, and Baron Poltimore, (noble men residing, or having great property in the county,) for their support of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. The Address will lay for a few days at the George Inn. The thanks of the meeting were then given to the Chairman. The band played the National Anthem, and atter giving three cheers for the King and Reform the meeting separated. BOLTON, OCT. 14. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Silt, —Intelligence of the rejection of the Reform Bill by the Lords was received here by an express from The Sun Newspaper office on Sunday morning, the 9th instant, about seven o'clock. The news spread rapidly through the town and created great ex citement; during the whole of the day the streets were filled with groups of people, who were all anxiously engaged in forming plans and hazarding opinions as to what course the King and the people ought to pursue to bring the infatuated objectors of the Bill to their senses. The Exchange news-room was crowded with gen•lemen, who all appeared thunderstruck at the number of the majority in opposition to the united wishes of the whole empire. In the evening not less than five thousand people were assembled in the streets, waiting the arrival of the mail. The Lord Bishop of the diocese happened to be preaching in the pa rish church, and during the time of Divine Service in the forenoon some person had posted two large placards upon the gas pillar in the old market-place, stating that " the Reform Bill had been thrown out by a majority of forty-one in the House of Lords, and that nearly the whole of the Bench of Bishops had voted against the Bill," hundreds of persons read these placards on their way from church, and not a few vented their indignation against the Right Reverend Bench in most un courtly terms ; indeed, popular feeling never ran so high in this town against the mitred Peers as since their conduct on this oa casion became known. All the inns and public houses, where it was known that the London Paper was taken in, were crowded to suffocation, and it may be asserted without fear of contradiction that the hereditary Legislators have fallen two hundred per cent. in the estimation of the inhabitants of Bolton since the memo ruble division was published. On Sunday morning a Committee of twenty-five, consisting chiefly of the working classes, was ap pointed to superintend the getting up of a public meeting should the authorities of the town decline to call one. On Monday evening they met, when a delegate from the Manchester Political Union attended. He was the bearer of a letter from that body, inviting the Bolton people to attend the Manchester meeting on Wednesday, but to a man the Committee refused to accept the invitation ; and k it was generally remarked " that every town ought to manage its own affairs.' A requisition was then agreed to, requesting the boroughreeves and constables to call a meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, on as early a day as possible, " to adopt the best means, in the present alarm ing state of the country, to secure to the King his just preroga tives, and to the people their constitutional rights and liberties." About thirty names were signed in the room, and in the course of the following day that number was increased to eighty, the majority of which were persons renting premises of 101. per annum and upwards. The same afternoon it was presented to James Kay, Esq., Boroughreeve of Great Bolton, and that gen tleman promised to give an answer on Wednesday at four o'clock. After the appointed hour the deputation from the Committee waited upon Mr. Kay for his answer, and they found him en gaged with several gentlemen of the town consulting what mea sures to adopt ; and it appeared that some persons, whose timi dity had got the better of their judgment, had prepared a very dutiful and loyal address to his Majesty, requesting him to exer cise his Royal prerogative to ensure the passing of the Reform Bill, and pledging their supporrto their Sovereign and the pre sent Ministry. This was to be handed about for signature, with ' out the trouble and expence of a public meeting, but so strong was the opposition to this mode of proceeding manifested by the I deputation and some of the gentlemen present that it was aban doned, and the Boroughreeve expressed his willi ngness t o call a public meeting on the subject. The dratt of a large posting bill, announcing that the meeting wou'd take place at twelve o'clock on Thursday, was immediately sent to the printers ; resolutions, couched in the most energetic language, breathing the most ardent attachment to the King and his Ministers, were passed. and every thing appeared to be going on prosperously' when another difficulty was started, viz. whether the Committee of the working classes would give a pledge not to oppose the pass ing of the Address, and the resolutions in their present shape, at the meeting ; the members of the Committee present immedi ately acceded to the proposal, and a message was sent to the re mainder, who were assembled at a neighbouring public—house, requesting their acquiescence; after a stormy discussion, which lasted a long time, an answer was returned, that they would not pledge themselves to support any measure of Reform which was not founded i , paii the basis of annual Parliaments, universal suf frage, and vote by ballot ; upon this being communicated to the Boroughreeve and his friends, they instantly countermanded the order for printing the placards, and declared that they would have nothing further to do with the matter. This step is much to be regretted, as there cannot be a' doubt but the Address and resolutions to support the King and the Ministry in passing the Reform Bill, would have been carried by an ire mense majority, for on enquiry: it has been ascertained, that many of the persons who refused to give the required pledge, did not actually belong to the Committee. It is now said that a meeting will be called by the r equ i s i t i onists otk Monday next, and there cannot be a ge t doubt, but an address i n support of the Ministerial measure, nerally, will be carried. It is gratifying to be able to state, that not the sli g h test violence has been offered to either the persons o r property of any Anti-Reformer here, and although deep an d dan gerous denunciations against the refractory Lords and their colleagues, , th w e h p ic e h ace a l eni estr b o le yin e g ac ß h is e h v o e p n s i , n Igiave beentle crowd s single voice has been heard to recommend an attack upon pro perty, or a b reach of the peace of any kind. in the been streets, expressed not a by At a Committee meeting, held last night, a public meeting was agreed upon, and is to take place on Monday next, in Brad ford-square, at eleven o'clock. SHEFFIELD, OCT. 13. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am glad to say that this town enjoys its usual quietness. There is no fear of any disturbances, nor interruption of busi ness. We go nn as formerly, with the.exception of the Most in tense feverish anxiety which Frevails every day to see your excel lent and spirited Paper,to which the public gelicrey acknowledge they are much indebted. The second and third editions, well " ;bur occasional extraordinary expresses, are duly appreciated. As soon as th!

I am happy to add that all the neighbouring to the and villages are meeting to express their loyalty and attachment to the best of Kings and his Ministers. I am, with great respect, YOUR CORRESPONDENT. PLYMOU 111, OCT. 13. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The all:absorbing cause of grief to his Majesty's liege subjects was the one general topic of . discussion in this place yesterday. The conduct of the teas, and is still, marked by the greatest decorum and subordination, The reelinfts of irritation against the Anti-Reform Lords and Bishops, shows itself in settled dislike, bordering on contempt, and this "clique" of the boroughmongering faction is subjected to a sentiment or pitiable reminiscence, which a tradesman would disdain to have pur chased by betraying a want of knowledge of the proper time and season to conclude a cdinnion agreement. As I told you, the intere.t for the arrival of the mail is nightly most intense, and when the guard last night announced that Parliament would be prorogued, and that the King and his Ministers were firm, the cheering intelligence was received with three rounds of applause from the crowd of at least ene thousand persons, and when the Papers were read announcing the majority on Lord Ebrington's motion, all apprehension of danger ceased, with the certain con. viction that Reform will be eventually attained'would that my Lord Marquis the Baron Vane, or our neighbour,the venerable and deeply-imposed upon Lord Rolle, had been present within the precincts of this half-close borough, to have witnessed the men who addressed and who supported, and the men who heard the speeches at the meeting held this day on the area in front of the Plymouth Royal Hotel—it is easier to say who were not at the meeting than to enumerate the strength, in virtue, talent, and wealth, of the gentlemen who were there pre sen t. I na d equa t e as the writer is to the task of giving even an outline of the pro ceedings, yet he may be deemed competent to state an opinion, that without Reform, so fully pledged do all the leading men stand here, that it will be impossible to keep society together. And there is a remarkable characteristic which implies a favourable re sult: there is a charitable feeling on the part el the liberals, which influences them to speak highly of the virtues of their opponents, and, at the same time, lightly of their sins. But for all this, and without intimidation, if the opposition Lords receive a new light from the effulgence of public opinion, the sooner they re flect on it, and exhibit the reflection of it, the more easily will all interests be satisfied. GRAND MEETING AT PLYMOUTH. In consonance with a requisitlon.numerously signed, which was issued soon after the unhappy intelligence of the notorious " Forty-one" was received, a meeting of the inhabitants took place this day, in front of the Royal Hotel. The shops were all closed, and, about noon, 2,900 persons had assembled near the hustings, which were erected under the poitico of the theatre, and rendered capable of containing 150 persons. A flag was borne among the crowd with the emblems of mourning at the staff-head; "Liberty," inscribed in capitals (formed in letters of crape) supported by the words " God save the King," under. neath a Crown ; hands joined, and the motto, " Brethren, dwell together in unity" At about half-past twelve the Reform Committee came on the hustings, and were received with the greatest enthusiasm by a crowd of at least 5,000 persons. All evidently determined on peace and order, which, through all the proceedings of the day, was preserved unallayed by any tumult, or scarce an angry" word against the opposing Lords. A Tory hiss in a remarkable quarter, by a scion of no Noble House, was rather discourteously contemned by a person in the crowd; but shelter was speedily procured for the opposing party, by the timely intervention of the by-standers. The retreat was made amid the yells and groans of the crowd. T. BEWEs, Esq. having been voted to the chair by acclama tion, opened the proceedings by tracing the progress of " The Bill" down to the disappointed hopes of a confiding people in its rejection by the Lords, by which the appalling circumstances of the present state of the country was produced ? The ma jority of the Lords was propounded to the nation in defiance of the will of the people; but they could repose their hopes on a beloved and patriotic Sovereign—in an unbending and upright Ministry —and with a united House of Commons—these would, by constitutional means, overcome all the obstacles which now presented themselves to the wishes of the people. Mr. Bewes concluded by observing that the object of the meeting was to ad dress his Majesty at this alarming crisis, in support of the Throne and the Ministers, and he trusted that the meeting would be orderly, and that thespeakers would use moderation. Dr. COOK WORTHY then presented himself and most ably epitomized the struggles of the former Ministry and their sub sequent resignation of that power, nowivieldeel i by Lord Grey and his colleagues, upon the specific condition of lefoi min Par liament. The Bill being the pledge of a full, fair, and effec tual Reform, had been received by the community with joy, and the people had became irrevocably united in favour of that Mi nistry, in which they placed every confidence, and the members of which the nation at large was desirous should he retained in o t then whoseet n h office. Dr. C. aptly illustrated the ill-grace of the Lords not permitting " the Bill" to pass into Committee. The people had the means of compla int, and could g o to the Kin g , th r o ugh derived from would h mo most fodtoe,s,se. Dr. c n t at characteristic ookh ivo r t y e referred Pr°enrtra t u o t lei°lne, a remedy calm and deliberate, yet firm and uncom promising of the w deportment tm e e o n s t m o i f e t s h e ot pe ß o o p f l o e no , apostrophized andstropehmi invidious called arts upon the meeting to lend no ear to those who sought to turn them to anarchy and confusion.* Dr. C., after many other forcible comments on the critical position of the great question of Reform, co ncluded an a m n o im s a i t , ed Ex di c sco EL ur L se E b N y T pro m po A s j in E g s f T o y r . the adoption of t h e meeting, the following addre ss : "TO THE KING'S e, your s A r l e a d jes i t ,e Majesty's . son, crown, and dignity.

In furtherance of this end, we earnestly beseech your Majesty not to withdraw your confidence from your present Mi nisters , whose wisdom and integrity we cannot too highly appre ciate, and whose continuance at the helm of the State we deem essential to the preservation of the public peace, and the stability of the existing institutions of the country.

JOHN COLLIER, Esq. in seconding the resolution f or th e address just read, congratu lated himself and his fellow townsmen se nt on the occasion. The unanimity of feeling in the t own was u pon the most respectable , a nd ver y numerous assemblage pre as remarkable as the temperate deportment of the people was praiseworthy, and he hoped nothing would interfere to interrupt it. Mr. Collier made someexcellent remarks on the impolicy and injustice of the opposing Lords, and said, that though he might not live to witness the fact, yet the time would come, when the inhabitants of this free country would look back with' astonish ment to the period when the voices of 199 men had been found sufficient to obstruct the unanimous voice of the people. i a n d u d te re s s e s :e w t i h th e ae7,croitteemofentthasluikbs.sitoded. their Lord. Th e addiess Was then put from the chair, and carried by ac claim ; a forest of hands were held up for, and not one against the motion.

A vote of thanks to the county Members, Lo dJ rs, r ohn Russelland Lord Ebrington. Mr. Prance, Mr. Fownes, the Rev. Mr. Macauley, Mr. Aldham, and Charles Bird, : addressed the meeting.

(PROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) Some disturbance s PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY EVENING. took place at Totness, about 22 miles from this town, on Tuesday last. It appears the great majority of the people there are iu favour of the Reform Bill, but as it is to be ex pected with some of those scarlet robe gentlemen in close boroughs, who are denominated 'Aldermen, and who have pro.. cured snug births for sons and cousins through the borough_ mongering influence, they were adverse to a meeting to address his Majesty, and prevented the use of the Hall, and one of them carried his impudence so far as to confine a respectable individual. This raised the ire of the people, who commenced demolishing the A nti- Reformers' wind ows, an d pro p er ty was not respected; but after a few hours order was restored, the meeting was held, an d an address voted. It should be recollected that this borough waempt it. s condemned to be put in schedule B, after a struggle to e lIALF-PAST NINE, P.NI. The Plymouth address has already upwards of 2,000 signatures, notwithstanding it has rained excessively since the meeting separated. NV.

TO THE ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS OF ENGLAND. MOST REV. AND RIGHT REV, LORDS,--I take the liberty of calling the attention of your L6rslthVs to the follow ing advertisement which appeared in the Timci ij Plbriflay last. " Appeal to the wealth and munificence of England, 4 11 behalf of a respectable clergyman with ten children, who ha beea curat., of a parish seven years at 401. per annum, now struggling with poverty, distress, and overwhelming difficulties, whose exemplary conduct has been ceitifllcl by three neighbouring bene ficed clergymen, confirmed by the Bishop c.f the diocese, rtscom mending him as a fit and proper object for die el7errise of Chris tian benevolence." My Lords, if I had the ability, the presumption. or the ;Este sition to attempt a lay lecture on the present Constitution of the Church establishment, the unequal distribution of its enormous revenue—the glaring abuse of its recular advantages—perhaps I could not take a more comprehensive extract, at least from any human composition, than this simple advertise ment furnishes, as a text whereon to ground my argu ments and my comments. I should say, my Lords, that " the wealth and munificence" of the Church, with a revenue of needy 9,000,000/. a year, ought to have prevented the existence of such a case as that of a " respectable clergyman" (whether with ten children or with none) being allowed only the paltry pittance of 401. a year for the performance of his important duties ; but that if such a man, so situated, and one of " exemplary con duct," too, happened to have listened to the sweet t Wet of do mestic affection, and yielded rather to the dictates of natitre io obedience to divine command than to the barbarous doctrines of the Malthusian creed, thus bringing upon himself the incum brance of ten children, it is a scandal to the Church that he should be left to " struggle with poverty, distress, and over. whelming difficulties," as he necessarily must do with a beggarly supply of only about 2%d. pet day for each of his family 1 Such is the:case described in the advertisement before us ; and how is this "respectable clergyman," this than of " exemplary cons duct," this unhappy father of an unfortunate faMily to be re lieved from his " overwhelming difficulties P. Is It by liberal contributions from the purses of his more fortunate clerieal brethren ? Is it from the " wealth and munificence of the mitred and beneficed members of the Christian establishment to winch he belongs ? Is It from the neighbouring beneficed clergymen, and the Bishop of his diocese, to whom his " ex emplary conduct," and his domestic sufferings arc personally known ? No ! He is furnished with a recommendatory certi ficate from "three neighbouring benefices clergymen," and " the Bishop of the diocese," and then unceremoniously thrust upon the tithe-paying public, as " a fit end proper object for the exercise of" their " Christian benevolence! !" Permit me to observe, my Lords, that this case has been brought before the public in an unpropitious season. The people of England, in their present spirit, may perchance consider it as little less than an audacious insult to their feelings for a Member of the Epis copal Bench to obtrude upon their notice a certified beggar from the reverend fraternity. The progress of intellect, my Cord, has produced wonderful effects. It has opened the eyes of the blind, and taught the dumb to speak. In this great cause, the most wealthy, and the most intellectual, and the most powerful classes of the community, are firmly and steadily engaged; and when the conquest over selfishness and prejudice shall have been gained, and assuredly it will be, I will venture to predict that there will be no more such blemishes on the Church establish ment as that of " a respectable clergyman," a man of " exem plary conduct," with ten children, being left to starve on 4(1. a-year, or appeal to the " Christian benevolence" of the public to rescue him from his " overwhelming difficulties." My Lords, you cannot be surprised if this case, just at this time, has excited a degree of puhlic disrespect towards the dignitaries of the Church in proportion to the benevolent sympathy that must be felt by the people naturally generous for the domestic stiffer themhosontoßurev to . and be, ings of the " object" exposed by th e a d ver ti sement, on which 1 have taken the liberty of addressin g yo ur L or d s hi ps. -I have Right Rev.

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNAL 4, In consequence of the part which they took on the Reform Bill, the Bishops have been marked ou t es objects of peculiar hostility. The propriety of their sitting at all as Lords of Parliament has been , drawn into question, and the political contentions of the Senate are asserted to be incompatible with the pious duties and spiritual functions of the Prelates of the Church. Some Journals broadly hint at the zacessity of measures of retaliation not only against the Bishops, but against the temporalities of the Church, of which they are the guardians. Now as to the wee which the Bishops gave against the Re form Bill, we have no right to say that it was not a constientious one. Indeed, when a Bishop votes against the Crown we are always disposed to believe that he sacrifices his habits, his inclinations, and even his taste, to his conscience. King and Church. are Bet more closely associated by prescriptive maxim than by the general conduct of the Bench of Bishops in the House of Lords. When the Monarchy was abolished in England Episcopacy went,down along with it ) when the Monarchy was restored Episco pacy was re-established. Burke says that "religion should raise her mitred head in palaces ;" but it is another question whether she should exhibit her lawn sleeves in Parliament. We maintain that this quettiore is not likely, in stormy times like the present, to be temperately or impartially dis missed. As to the effect which the votes of the Bishop, produced on the fate of the Reform Bill, let us see what it was. Twenty-one Bishops voted against the Bill, and the Bill was lost by a majority 'of forty-one. Suppose thin, all those Prelates had followed the example of the Archbishop of York and the 131 shop of London and abstained from voting, the loss of the Bill could not have been pre- I vented, for it would still have been thrown out by a majority of twenty. If, indeed, the twenty-one Prelates had voted for the Bill instead of voting against it, the Bill would have been carried by a ma jority of one. But this could not have removed the objection of those who maintain the position that Bishopti should not interfere in political questions. Whether they voted for the popular side or against it would be equally a violation of the spiritual 110IP• intervention principle which the objectors to a poli tical Prelacy have laid down. If we are to have a Reform in the Church, it cannot be a judicious and temperate Reform unless it be one considered and adapted on its owa merits, and without any re ference to the votes of the Bishops on the Reform Bill, or on any other question. If the Church wants Reform—and we are of opinion that, to a certain ex tent, it does -s-it would be the inversion of all sound reasoning to say that, because the guardians of the Church voted for the Reform Bill (supposing they had done so), it would be right that the Church itself should go unreformed; or, in other words, because the guardians of the Church acknowledged that the beat way to renovate the Slate was to re move its abuses, therefore the best acknowledgment that could be made to them would be to allow the abuses of the Church to be perpetual. Though we have said that the abstract question as to the pro priety of the Prelates of the Established Church having scats in the House of Lords is not a question for times of excitement, yet we have no hesi:ation in saying that our Bishops, in their places in Parhe ment, hate, somehow or other, almost invariably re-, sisted all improvement. We do not forget the heroic conduct of the "seven Bishops" in blowing the trumpet of the glorious Revolution, and we ye- . iterate their memories for the stand which they made against a tyrant, when their own rights and pri vileges bad been arbitrarily assailed; yet, when the restoration of the rights and privileges f their fellow-subjects is the question which the Govern ment supports, fee find the great body of the Bishops, for the first time in living memory, ar rayed in opposition to the King and his Ministers. But, on other occasions, when harsh and cruel laws were to be passed against the people—when an un constitutional stretch of power was to be sanctioned by the Legislature—when the passing of the " Six Acts"—the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act —the enactment of new capital Statutes, inflicting death under circumstances for which Christians • ought to blush—the passing ore Spring-gun Bill to legalise a system of cowardly assassination, more ' dangerous to the innocent than the guilty-.-when these aril other matters equally opposed-to sound and humane legislation were the work eta out by the Minister for Parliament, we have always found the Bishops on the side of power. In short, the Mi nister of the day has generally calculated on their votes with great certainty, but nitrer with a more' justified confidence than when the corrupt or ar bitrary acts of the Government were to be absolved from all responsibility, or the errors of the law, or the " venerable" abuses of the State, were to be protected against the reforming hand of salutary innovation. During the successive years that Sir Samuel Romilly nobly struggled to purify our criminal code from inhumanity and barbarism, by judicious and enlightened amelio rations, the Prelates of our Church—the teachers of a religion of mercy, were among the most steady opponents to any and every alteration of our sanguinary code. This circumstance Sir S. Romilly himself adverted to with deep regret in his place in the House of Commons in the year 1813, when he said, " I saw without any astonishmeut that the punishment of death for privately stealing to the amount of five shillings had been sanctioned by the support of five Prelates, because, upon a former oc casion, I recollect that the punishment of death for this offence was approved and supported by seven of the Bench of Bishops, amongst whom, if I mis take not, there was an Archbishop." What Bishops voted on the other side ? Alas ! the records of merciful and enlightened legislation bear no traces of their names ! Far be it from us to ascribe those things to any corruption or venality of the Bench itself : we would rather be lieve that cloistered habits, a narrow expe rience of life, an advancement to high rank and power, oftener the result of a subservient cultivation of patronage than of independent thinking and laborious merit, have, in a great measure, disqua lified them for those duties of political life which require comprehensive views, moral intrepidity, and that civil wisdom which knows how to distinguish between pernicious change and wholesome innova tion. We speak of the body of Bishops, knowing that there are, and have been, individuals among them, at all times, of the purest integrity, the most amiable feelings, and the greatest mental endow ments. We have said that the Church wants Re form to a certain extent ; and we think so chiefly because the wealth of the Church is great, while that wealth is most unequally distributed. Many of the Dignitaries of the Church are far too highly paid, while the working Clergy are, in general, without adequate remuneration. These and other defects must be reformed ; but Reform in the Church should be conducted, not as a measure of re taliation but as a duty of morality and justice.—. Morning Herald. Parliament will be prorogued as soon as the Bank ruptcy Courts' Bill is passed, and it is not intended that it should assemble again till after Christmas. We need not say that we regret this delay. We see in it great cause for apprehension. The country will either remain in a state of agitation, or it will not. If agitated, who can tell what the consequence may be ? If the agitation subsides, the hostile Lords, who are only Reformers from necessity, who bate Reform from the very bottom of their souls, and who will be constantly on the look out for meansto prevent it, will again delude themselves into the belief that the people are indifferent to Reform, and become persuaded that they have been too easily led to conceive that Reform is inevinible. The greater part of the 199, whatever Reformers may think, have not the slightest ides that it is not just and proper they should s ubsist on the pillage of subsistence. No m of the public. They have been brought up in the notion that the p e ople are only of importance as pigs and sheep are of importance—as ing senses the have thought of con louna„ane;er
