Lord G. LENOX objected to the depot at Maidstone, which entailed a great expense on the country without any adequate benefit. The riding establishment, in particular, was even looked upon by the officers as utterly useless. Sir H. HARDINGE said, that when he was in office, he had an opportunity of knowing that the officers thought these riding establishments of the greatest service. An Hos/. MEMBER corroborated the opinion expressed by the last speaker. If there was any fault in the system, it arose from the false economy of the Government, by which the plan had not been put on a full and effective footing. Mr. WYNN had no doubt, after the comments of the Gallant Colonel (Davies) that he (Mr. Wynn) was quite unfit for the office; and as there was likely to be a vacancy soon, he trusted that the Government would take the hint, and appoint the Gallant Colonel to the office.—(A laugh.) He, however, was certainly of opinion that a man of mo derate talent, who chose to give his attention to the business, might make himself master of it.--(Hear, hear.) With respect to the riding establishments, he must say that he had had great doubts of the expediency of continuing them to their present extent ; but at the same time he was bound to state that the Commander•in-Chief was in favour of their continuance. He himself thought that great good had resulted from the establishments by producing one uniform system of equitation. Mr. HUME said, that as long as we kept up the sys tem of interfering with foreign countries, it was in vain to expect that their could be any effectual reduction of the expense of the army. He wanted England to keep to her. self, as her situation justified, and not to imitate Russia, or Prussia, or Austria. In his opinion, if we had not so heavy a National Debt, we should have been at war before this, through our interference with Belgium. He hoped and trusted that these estimates would be reduced 1,000,0001., as he was sure they might he. Mr. IRVING professed himself a friend to ships, colo nies, and commerce. He hoped that the best interests of the country would never be sacrificed to the sordid eco nomy of the Hon. Member for Middlesex. Mr. WARBURTON agreed with Mr. Hume in his principle of non-interference, and should be ready on all occasions to support such policy. Mr. C. W. WYNN said the House had already agreed to the number of men voted for the year, when it might Lave been proper to discuss the policy of the measure; but on that vote, which was for the contingencies of the service, such a discussion was misplaced. With respect to the Hon. Member's observations on the expense for Bibles, he was not aware that there was any waste ; and if the Hon. Member could point out any instance he would readily attend to him. The compensation for officers to which the Hon. Member had alluded, would he a saving. Lord EUSTON said a few words, after which the vote was agreed to. Mr. C. W. WYNN next moved the vote of 124,5221.81., for defraying the charge of Staff and Hospital Officers in Ireland and abroad. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated that his Noble Friend, the Secretary of State for the Colo nies, had directed his attention to the Staff in the Colo nies, and he hoped, before the end of the year, to be able to make a large reduction. Colonel DAVIES said that the Staff in North America was too large for the force, and he thought the force too large. He could point out several reductions which ough to be made. Mr. WYNN thought that some reductions in the Staff in the Canada, might hereafter be made. Inquiries would be instituted upon the subjebt. Sir H. HARDINGE was ef opinion that neither of the General Officers in the Canadas could be dispensed with. Mr. HUME objected to the allowances made to officers independent of their pay. The Commander-in-Chief re ceived not less than nine guineas a day. In England there were not less than four Adjutant-Generals and four Quar ter-Master-Generals at head-quarters in time of peace,—a most useless expenditure, against which he most strone/y protested. He hoped that the time would soon come when pounds, shillings, and pence, ridiculed by the Member for Ltramber, would be attended to. The resolution was then agreed to. The next resolution was for 103,8971. 6•. 4d. for al lowances to officers in the several military departments of Great Britain. Mr. HUME remarked that in 1796 the whole expence was 46,000/. He objected to the number of clerks em p!oyed. Sir H. HARDINGE slid, that even the Member for Middlesex could not make greater reductions thin had been made. Mr. WYNN confirmed this statement, and added that during the last four years no fresh appointments had been made. Additional clerks might even be necessary under particular circumstances. Mr. HUME saw nothing to be alarmed at in the pre sent prospect of affairs. The resolution was carried. Mr. WYNN proposed that 12,4201. be granted for medicines and surgical materials for the land forces.-- Agreed to. Also, 33,8351. 15s. 10d. for defraying the charge of garrisons at borne and abroad. Mr. HUME adverted to the mere sinecures kept up by such votes, both in England and the colonies. The vote might he easily reduced by the sum of 20,0001. Sir H. HARDINGE defended the vote as a means of giving due rewards to old maimed officers. - Colonel SIIITHORPE agreed that no reduction ough :o be made. Mr. WARBURTON asked the Gallant Officer (Sir H, fardinge) what had been the great services of the Go. vernor of Dartmouth Castle, to entitle him to a pension of 1741. a-year ? Sir H. HARDINGE explained that the grant of the Governorship of the Castle was granted to the family of the individual in the 'reign of Charles 11., for services then performed. He hoped, however, that when a va- , ..._,... _ .-- . cancy occurred, if the place were not abolished, it would be filled up by some meritorious officer who had served his country long and faithfully- Mr. it. GORDON contended, that the House ought at all events to refuse the grant, even if the King appointed the Governor. Mr. HUME had no objection to his Majesty's making all the privates in the army Genera's, if he did not call upon the House to vote money in proportion to pay them. Mr. WYNN objected to the principle of making officers of the army look to the House of Commons as the source Of reward. After a few words from Mr. RomNsoN, Mr. BEAUMONT said, that these discussions would be quite needless as soon as the Ref irm Bill was pas,ed. No such votes would then be even proposed. Mr. GUEST said, that he should divide the Committee on the vote. The Committee divided accordingly— For the resolution (15 Against it IS Majority........— ..... —77 The grant of 5,0001. for the Military College at Sand. burst was agreed to, after a short discussion between Mr. WYNN, Mr. HuatE, and Sir H.

The motion was agreed to, and a Select Committee ap SUGAR DUTIES. Pointed. Lord ALTHORP, in answer to a question from Mr. R. Gordon, who wished to have this final arrangement of the sugar duties for three mouths, said, that he had already declared he could not consent to a diminution of these duties during the present year; hut that with respect to the'other points, he had them under his consideration. and hoped be should be able to make some arrangement with respect to them, fur the purpose of relieving the West India interests. 'I he report Was brought up. AMERICAN BOUNDARY. Mr. ROBINSON moved for the production of the papers relative to the dispute between this country and the United States of America with respect to the Canadian boundary, and for the production of the decision of the King of Holland upon this subject, which had been re ferred to his arbitration. Lord PALMERSTON opposed the motion, on the ground that the tron , a.ction was yet incomplete. If th e House would take his word for it, they would refuse the motion. Mr. ROBINSON said that he was convinced the fact was, that the decision had been unfavourable to the United States, and that the Government had been weak enough to allow it to be referred back to the United States. H e should not press his motion. The motion was then withdrawn. REFORM. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR presented a petition in favour of Reform from Sunderland. It was signed, in two days, by 5,000 persons. Mr. CURTEIS presented a similar petition from two parishes in Sussex. The LORD ADVOCATE presented petitions in favour of Reform from the borough of Kilmarnock ; from the Merchaats' Company of Edinburgh ; from Perth ; from the Magistrates and Town Council of Montrose ; from Cupar (two); from the Political Union of Renfrew ;,from the Guild and Corporation of Weavers of Glasgow, who 'ale 1,300 in number, and employ 100,000 persona ; from the Guild of Perth ; from the Chamber of Commerce of Edioburo ; from Dundee ; and a number of other places in Scotland. Mr. JOHNSTONE presented similar petitions from Dumferline and Linlithgow. Mr. R. GRAN 1' presented two petitions from parishes in Norfolk, and from Cupar. Mr. LEICESTER presented a similar petition from Poole. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition for Reform, signed by 10,000 inhabitants, from the town of Nottingham ; and a similar petition from the Hundred of St Leonard, in the city of Wells. Mr. BEAUMONT presented a petition, numerously signed, from North Shields, and from three places in Northumberland, to the same effect. Adjourned at a Quarter after Two o'clock. POLAND. (EXTRACTS FROM PRIVATE LETTERS. WARSAW, Fan. 28.—1 wrote you by last post, and now write again to say, we are still in the land of living: how long we remain so, God only knows. Early on the morning of the 25th instant, the Russians having received considerable reinforcements, not lee. than 25,000 men, drew forth tly-ir whole army in line of battle in front of the forest, and began a most desperate attack on the left wing of the Polish army, near Jablonna. The attack was manfully sustained by the General Uminski (who had just arrived, having recently made his escape from Prussia) ; he succeeded, after fighting very hard to repulse and drive them back, and having taken eight pieces of cannon, spiked them, neither having horses nor time to take them off: he, however, at length succeeded in driv ing the Russians to the forest, and stop their filing. General Uminski then attacked the Russian centre, and penetrated their lines, making dreadful slaughter, having driven them from their:pasition. It appears that General Diebitsch had calculated oh penetrating to Warsaw on Friday, and so fulfil his promise to the Estiperor to reinstate him on the throne of Poland .n a month from the day his Imperial Majesty had been de 1-ironed ; but on Friday the month expired. Having re ceived the reinforcements, he brought the whole into ac tion, with his 400 cannon playing await all day. Being so close to the town, y ou ma y suppose what were the feel ings of the inhabitants, particularly the women. It pears he calculated most on the left wing of his army, where be had an enormous force, with which be expected to penetrate the right lines of the Polish army, situated near Crochow, under the command of Chlopicki and Skrzy necki. The battle was sanguinary in the extreme. The Russians made six tremendous charges, and were six times repulsed with great loss. A seventh time they made a desperate charge, which being directed against a newly raised regiment, caused some disorder and a partial re treat; the enemy perceiving this, sent immediately two regiments of cuirassiers, fresh troops, belonging to the recent reinforcements; both officers and men were half drunk. Diebitsch had thus prepared them for the despe rate work he had cut out for their execution. They made a tremendous attack, and for a moment succeeded in putting the new-formed regiment into disorder, got round to their rear, among the wounded, ammunition, and pea sants' waggons ; but the newly-raised troops having promptly received the assistance of the Polish lancers, as suddenly recovered from their panic, formed themselves again in order of battle, and the two regiments of Rus sian cuirassiers were literally cut to pieces; only twenty prisoners, mostly officers, were made, and only thirty made their escape to inform General Diebitsch of their disaster. Thus they suffered for their temerity by the loss of two re giments ; the commander of one of the regiments was taken prisoner. The intention of General Diebitsch was, that they should penetrate the Polish line, and cut their way through to Warsaw ; hut they met their fate. This affair being so very decisive, the Russians left the field of battle, and retired again into their strong hold in the forest. The loss of the Russians on that day was upwards of 15,000 killed and wounded, and 600 prisoners, three pieces of cannon taken, and eight spiked. The loss of the Poles was great : the killed and wounded are reckoned about 5,000. This may be considered as a great victory pined by the Poles over tke Russians, when you take into consideration the disproportion in numbers, and the immense strength of the Russian artillery. You may judge of the intrepid bravery of Chlopieki, when he had three horses shot under him on that memorable day, and was wounded in the foot, though not dangerously. He was obliged to he carried off the field of battle. The Colonel of the new Warsaw Regiment was also wounded, and unfortunately was not with his men at the seventh charge of the Russians, which prevented the battle being so decidedly victorious. Prince Radziwill lost the valuable services of his right hand man, on the brave Clalopieki being wounded. 1 yesterday paid the Polish soldiers a visit at the batte ries at Praga ; they were in good spirits. Since Friday every thing remains quiet, no fighting. The conduct of Prince Radziivill is universally extolled: he has seen su pet ior merit in General Skrzynecki, the third in command; the Prince propo-ed to resign in his favour, the second in command seconded the proposal, and we all look with con fidence to Skrzynecki ; all the inhabitants are now going to take the oath of allegiance to the present Government.

The people have almost exceeded our hopes. They have far outstripped our utmost efforts to keep pace with their still-increasing ardour in the cause of Reform, so far as those efforts might have aimed at presenting to our readers even a faint outline of what is taking place every hour of each succeeding day, at meetings held throughout every county of England, and attended by numbers, wealth, intelli gence, high reputation, and consequent moral power, such as never before were seen or imagined iti con nection with any political question at the most ani mated period of English history. One or two croaking ravens yet flap their wings amongst us ; but their notes anticipate the fast-coming downfall of that edifice where filthy vermin, noxious reptiles, ill-omened birds, and ravening wolves, have had for centuries an unhallowed shelter. In the name of the people, we challenge any one of those enemies of public freedom, who venture, under the protection of the forms of debate, to threaten this country with revolution if she dares to cut away the unsound parts of her diseased representative systrm,— we dare any one of them to get up and say distinctly, through what means, or for whose ser vice, he has poked his way into Parliament. Will any one of them presume to tell the country how much money he has paid for his seat, or on what condition he has obtained it, if not the payment of money ? If no such confessions are made, why then the public ear is abused by false pretences. Cargoes have been smuegled into the House of Commons, and passed off under 'our very noses as the property of fair traders. I\e, there is not a man of them will tell one word of truth; they all take the benefit of that Old Bailey indulgence which spares a culprit the avowal of his own guilt. But with far more than Old Bailey Orr-Artery, they mould build a title to public respect and gratitude on the tacit understanding that they have com mitted the very crime which, if proved, would subject them to fine and imprisonment, as violators of the law of England. What else can be in tended by those disgusting plaudits which we have heard, night after night, bestowed upon seats bought with money, and on the nomination of "clever young men" by Peers. Which of these indi viduals, again we ask, will come forward and lay claim, in his own person, to such virtuous applauses ? The base falsehoods and rottenness of the whole practice is evident from this single fact—that no man will boast of being himself that sort of public benefactor, which a seat purchaser or self-seller is, by the anti-reformists in their constitutional ro mances, described to be, for fear of being indicted and sent to gaol ! However, the pinch of the battle is already past, unless the national troops disperse too soon, and seek to enjoy the victory before they have quite secured it. To an almost endless list of public meetings, we may add one at Poole, of which the proceedings have been sent to us, where an ad dress of " love" and " gratitude" to his gracious Majesty was unanimously agreed upon, for having sanctioned the great measure proposed by his official servants to Parliament ; arid a second address, in a corresponding spirit, was adopted, to be presented to Ministers for their patriotic conduct. Mr. Wills, the High Sheriff, was in the chair, and Dr. Taylor, with Messrs. Penney, Du rant, and Arnold, took the leading part in the proceedings. So at Romsey, a meeting of the cor poration (" corporation robbery 1") and inhabitants was held in the Town-hall, on Friday last, James Aldridge, Esq. Mayor, in the Chair, when loyal and cordial resolutions were passed, and petitions to both Houses of Parliament in favour of the Bill. Mr. Beddome, late Mayor; Mr. Holmes (not Mr. William Holmes, M.P.), town-clerk; and Alder man Damon and Sharp, supported the several pro positions. " Never," adds our correspondent, "in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of this town, has there been such a feeling of universal delight, as since this measure has been brought before the House of Commons; and one of the oldest mem bers of the Corporation declared that he should die heppy could he see this Brll pass."—" The meeting broke up with three times three cheers fcr King William IV." These men know the right meaning of loyalty, and that a King who deals honestly with his people is a jewel above all price. We stop here with a repetition of advice which cannot be enforced or acted on with too much strictness. Let Ministers not suffer the slightest alteration in the main features of the Bill as already framed. If one material change be made, more at least will be expected, and the confidence of the nation run great risk of being forfeited. Mr. O'Connell's remarks upon the operation of the Bill as it affects Ireland, and his proposals of amend ments, are, in our minds, unreasonable ; but we shall say a word on that point to-morrow.—Times. An attempt was made last night, in the House of Lords, to defeat the Lord Chancellor's Bankrupt Law Reform Bill, by the interposition of delay.— Lard Wynford, in a variety of frivolous pretexts — such as the illness of Lord Eldon and the absence of the Lord Chief Baron on Circuit—moved that it should be re-committed, instead of that night, on the 15th of April. A key to the martccuvre was afforded by the Lord Chancellor, who gave a most amusing account of the tactics of the numerous enemies of this beneficial measure. "In all the stages through which the Bill had passed (observed his Lordship) not a single word bad been said on, and not a single objection made to, the principle ; even his Noble and Learned Friend (Wynford) himself hardly Objected to the principle, and only contended for delay.— But h e had one serious objection to an indefinite delay, and that arose from the seventy—the Septuagint—who had ken most active and great commentators on the Bill, and most active and persevering translators, although they had translated very badly, and had—h e meant not all, but the majority of Oem.—exerted all their power both out of the House, and probably in it, fa. the purpos e of throwing out the Bill, by having it moved that it be com mitted this day three months ; and if they should find themselves strong enough. or if not, by having it moved that the committal should be delayed for four weeks. The majority of the Septuagint were in the greatest state of activity, and he had been assailed by letters and by con ference in doors and out of doors, by wife, by sister, by aunt, and by cousin, in every way, and through every channel, by every sex, and in every form. He was 'lkea fortr e . v attacked by storm, and by slp, and in every way ex e pt by blockade and starvation—and now this blockade and starvation his Noble and Learned Friend came to su pply by his propositions for delay." When any man has no better argument to urge against any improvement, he is sure to call it un- Erglish. Lord Wynford, who is a cunning old Nisi Prius stager, eagerly availed hims e lf o f t hi s handleagainst the reeaaur e . Th e J u d ges " f oun d a kind of institution which did not resemble anything in this country. It was more lik e a court which existed in France and Scotland." Can there be a better argument for retaining tribunals against which every trader in the country has long been tip in arms ? Can there be a better argument against remedying an abuse without an equal either in France, Scotland, or perhaps any Ei i r s P a e im se un-Engli s h, lik e some thi ng in F than calling the r eme dy f or thi s grievous English or Scotl an d ? T he L ord Chancellor did notuenvrtarnY in ngih uhesitate es to character'ze the object of Lord Wyn ford, from touchin g upon t h ese po i nts , to ra i se a degree of clamour, w i t h out argument, aga i nst t h e meas ure." The manner in which the Lord Chan cellor unmasks such opponents as Lord Wynford, and repels the pert forwardness of such opponents as a noble sinecuriq, is not very ericotir iging. The wives and sisters of the severity are another affair. No wonder his Lordship speaks with so much feel-, ing of the storm he has sus.ained Chron. In perfect good-will we beg to caution a certain distinguished la.ly riot to suffer herself to be made a laughing-stock to d an di es and intriguer?. Her per, sonal attractions and accomplishments must always ensure her as m uc h admiration as an English lady ought to covet. NIT by aim at more ? Besides, she has not reached the proper age for political partisan ship. Under the old regime, no French lady joined the ranks of the Philosopher and atheists till she lost her youth and beauty ; so no English l a dy s h ou ld b e a politician till she i s on the ultra side of fifty. The lady to whom we allude has, from mistaken ambi tion, long allowed herself to be a tool in the hands of persons whiinn, in her vanity, she imagines she directs. She has latterly joined the banners of a military statesman, who while he flatters her with a show of deference, exacts from her a most proles s;onal submission to discipline. Under his directions this misguided lady has la , eiy been denouncing the Reform Bill with all her sex's zeal, and with a vehe mence quite her own. Her sincerity had made her overstep these limits of angry opposition which her prudential chief considered decorous. A hint was given to that effect, and the other night, at a Royal fete, the lady, with great naïveté, at once disposed the secret, and exhibited her own humble subser viency to her chief. Her ladyship went about, eagerly addressing her friends in something like the following stain t---" How do I look ?" " I mail told to put a good face on the matter to-ni.ght. 1 am doings/. Do I not look very cheerful ?" Th s speech, uttered and repeated with tones, and looks, and gtstures, worthy of the tragic muse, was too much to hear. Gentlemen coughed—ladies shook their fans to hide their emotion —till at last all re straint gave way, the joke went round, and Unextinguished laughter shook the place."— Tinos. The state of political feeling throughout Europe is not without its importance in determining the ex pediency of introducing a great measure of change in our representative system at the present time. We say, advisedly, " not without importance," for we must affirm that the right of the people of Eng land to secure a real representation for themselves is the paramount consideration—still we are disposed to admit that the success or failure of the measure is to a great degree a European question ; moreover we think it one of great international importance. If the late expulsion of Charles X. from the throne of France—caused as it was by his violation of the most sacred obligations that can bind men individualy, or societies together—has shaken the political inviolability of Monarchs, we do not consider that the change made in the re'gning dynasty has exhibited any indisposition in the people of France to a monarchical form of Government ; on the contrary, we believe that however parties in that country may differ as to the distribution of power among the orders of the State, they all, with the exception of the small republican faction, and band of the military anarchists, sincerely prefer a King to a Republican President, or D rectory. Such also has been the declared wish of that de claiming, absurd vestry, the Belgian Congress. If they have a temporary Regent, instead of a s-ave reign Prince, the fault is not their's; either the Prince of Leuchtenberg, or the Duke de Nemours, or any Prince, but he of Orange, would have satis fied them. Neither Saxony, nor Brunswick, nor Poland, have contemplated the republican form as a substitute for their present Government. In short, let us look where we will in Europe, facts bear us out in asserting that the ten dency of the European mind is towards heredi tary Monarchy, limited in the exercise of autho rity by representative bodies, freely chosen, and acting for the interests of the people at large. We do not deny that the spirit of change is abroad; but it is not the demon spirit of the earlier French re volution, delighting in destruction ;—we believe that, accepted as the visitation ought to be, the spirit of the present day will be found the good angel of thrones and of property. At the close of the last century the example of America, followed by the dawn of regeneration in France, that appeared but to blaze in the fitful splendour of military des potism, had certainly turned the minds of all po litical innovators towards republican institutions.— Misled by the ready adaptation of the inhabitants of the United Staves of America to a new form of Go vernment, men overlooked the peculiar circum stances by which that adaptation was caused, and assumed that similar events were univer sally attainable ;—that error no longer exists; but, on the other hand, men are too enlightened to believe that security of property can only be ob tained by submitting to the continued existence o abuses in monarchies, as if the acknowledged con , venience of that form of Government rested not • upon rights that could be discussed, but upon ancient wrongs that must not be questioned. Our's is not the only country in Europe where a nobility is to be found indissolubly connected with the monarchy; our's, however, was for centuries the only country where a body professing to be the representatives of the people was acknowledged as equivalent with the two higher orders. The combination of the three ,had justly been the adm'ration of the world ; but we contend that, if that admiration has been mainly caused by the standard of comparison having been taken miserablylo w,and if the defects inthe model have been discovered, and shall not be removed, there is great danger that a disposition to cast the elements of society into some other form may arise, and contemp tuous rejection take the place of ready amd ie spectful imitation. The great political problem which appears to us to he submitted for solution by the present measure of Reform is, whetlur a real representation of the middling classes be compatible with a vet) , unequal distribution of property, and a powerful hereditary arirocrircy. We, upon the firmest conviction, maintain the solution of the pro blem in the affirmative; and we aro sure that a bigotted adherence to the negative determination has a. direct tendency to rub out or rot out the whole diagram of our institutions, as a stupid school-boy might deal with that stumbling-block in Euclid's Ele ments called the Pons Asinanum. The Kings and Nobles of Europe have, no doubt, often executed the dangerous example of America, and probably have ab horred the degree of power exercised in the British Constitution by the people. They had, however, the weak consolation of thinking that the anomalies and abuses of the English representative system ren dered imitalon impossible; but they, as foolishly, overlooked the necessary consequence that the ac knowledged defects of the best ordered monarchy in existence could have no other effect, except that of ultimately cetnpelling a greature departure from all institutions in any way analogous to that form of Government. The example to be now set by England, if the Mini, rers, in reforming the repre sentation, will, at least, pr, sent a model, which the Monarchs and aristocracies of all countries must follow ; for in it they cannot fail to see security for themselves, and satisfaction to the other classes of their respective communcs.—Morning Herald.

REFORM MEETINGS IN SUPPORT CF HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. TOWER HAMLETS. A meeting of the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets took place yesterday at the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, for the purpose of considering the propriety of presentin g an ad dress to the King, and petitioning both Houses of Parlia ment in support of the plan of Reform submitted to the House of Commons by his Alejesty's Ministers. At about a quarter to one o'clock Mr. Goer took the Chair, and addressed the ineetims to the following pur port :—Gentleenen, we are called here Ice the rule se of expressing, the high approbation and union of opinion which prevail ma the grand measure presented to the country by his Majesty's Ministers, and introduced to Parliament by Lord John Russell —(Hear, hear.)—lt was a measure which, whether viewed in a general light, or taken to pieces, and each particular part minutely dis sected, was the greatest boon ever offered to the country. —(Cheers.)—lle trusted that they would support and maintain the dignity of the Chair; and should there be any person who might wish to offer opinions which were adverse to the general feelings, he should be fairly heard. He regretted that the meeting had not been so numerously a•tended as had been anticipated, which had been occa sioned by the placards having been torn down the mo ment after they had been pet tip. This he had himself witnessed. It had been done by the emissaries of a certain corrupt body, who wished to keep the rising generation in their former disgraceful bondage.—(Cheers, and cries of shame.) Mr. Coaves said the Toe er Hamlets comprised a very large population, viz., more than one hundred thousand. The wealth also of the Hamlets was very great, and tliey certainly ought to be represented in the Commons Mese o Parliament. Our gracious Sovereign deserved the tit'e oF Patriot Prince—the Friend of the People !It was a glorious revolution that placed the family of Brunswick en the throne of these realms, and it will be a glorious Re• form that will continue them upon it. Mr. Ceates then concluded his speech by reeding the following resolution : " That the House of Commons, as at press at formed, was nat a true representation of the people, conformably to the principles of the British Constitution." —(Applause.) Mr. WRIGHT seconded the first resolution. Mr. STOCK said, our gracious Sovereign deserved the thanks of his people for sanctioning the plan of Reform which had been submitted to Parliament.—(Cbeers.) The resolution was . then read a second time, and was passed unanimously, not a single hand being raised against it. Mr. HOME stated, that supported as this measure was, by the King and the Ministers, it would only want the unanimous support of the people to put an end for ever to the destructive corruption which had so ling preyed on ti vitals of the British Constitution.—(lmmense cheering. ) The Tower Hamlets he considered as the beehive of in. dustry, and he sincerely congratulated them on the pro spect of their being recogrfzed as a portion of the country, and to be represented by their own Members in Parliament. —(Cheers.) Mr. Hume concluded his speech by saying, that if their petition were confided to him, he would elle his best to forward the object which it prayed for. As he had important business to attend in the Heuse, be was compelled to take his leave.—(Mr. Hume retired amid immense cheering.) Mr. LAURENCE thought, that if the Bill were not to pass, then was the time to dread a revolution. Mr. 1.. concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That it was such a Reform as would confer a full and fair re presentation of the people, anal was the only means by which the institutions of the country could be mAntained." s 6 , c expressed calculated te b d is to " c in o i n a f a er that tlte the T Bill Rv b e ei O n EltGfi Ev Parliament A was greatest blessings upon the people. Some cried out, " The Church is in dan.4er." No matter what the cry was, whether, " the Church," or " the Corporation," or " the Constitution," the people had been roused, and, now they were out, " they were determined to mak e a day of it." Their universal cry was, " Reform ! Reform! (Cheers, in consequence of which a dog began to bark.) —(Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen, your see all na ture calls out for Reform.—(Cheers and laughter.) --Mr. Evans concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. SWIFT would read an amendment, which he had originally intended to propose as a resolution. Ile then • read his amendment, but as no gentleman seconded it, it was not put from the chair, but was consigned to ob livion, amid the groans of the whole meeting. Mr. SHARP denied that the proposed measure was re volutionary, it was nothing more than a restitution of our rights, the full exercise of which we bad been deprived of fur many years. He asked them e if a man robbed them of their watches, would they think of giving a remune ration for depriving them uS their property ?—(Laughter.) What compensation, then, could the borotighmoneers claim for what they chose to call their vested rights ? None.—(No, no !)—He concluded by movin g a resolu tion, to the effect that the meeting, laying aside all minor considerations, thank the King and the Ministers for the liberal measure before Parliament, which would be con ducive to the stability of the nation at large, and rtstore confidence in the Parliament. 11r. Alderman SCALES seconded the resolution, which was unanimously cars ied. Mr. WADDEN rose to submit a resolution to the atten tion of the meeting, expressing their gratitude for the benefit which the popular nature of the measure would confer on the districts of the Tower Hamlets. Ile then read a copy of a letter from Mr. Horace Twiss, in answer to one which had been sent to bin) ; asking charity, in which he stated that, a% hi 4 connection with Newport was very precarious, Is must take some other opportunity of subscribing to their wishes.—(Laughter.) He had heard that these s‘nis of corruption, when they were turned out, intended to convene a meeting, and go on a pilgrim age to liolyrood-house, to their illustrious friend Mr. Charles Caper, and condole with him on their mutual sor- ' rows.—(A laugh.) The speaker then sat down, and was loudly cheered. Mr. WAKEFIELD seconded the resolution, which was put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. Mr. R. HALL moved that a loyal address, founded on the resolutions, be presented to his Alajesty. This was seconded and put to the meeting, and the mo— tion was carried unanimously. The petition was then read. Mr. GOFF, the Chairman, said, that in a conversation with Lord Althorp, his Lordship said he should be very happy to meet a deputation from the Tower Hamlets on Wednesday week next, to conduct them to his Majesty's presence. It was then agreed that petitions should be presented, to the Hous.., of Lords by Earl Grey, and to the House of Commons by Alcssrs. Byng and Hume, praying them to support the plan of Refor►u now before Parliament. The meeting then separated. D UNDER. (From the Dundee Advertiser of Thursday,) The Guildry of Dundee met yesterday at one o'clock, to consider the propriety of addressing the Legislature, ap proving of the measures of Reform brought forward by his Majesty's Ministers. Dean of Guild Hackney ad dressed the meeting, and observed, that it had been called at an unusually short notice, but the importance of the sub ject would be a sufficient apology. So important indeed was the subject, that every public body in the land should meet without a moment's delay, to lend their aid in sup port of the measures proposed in Parliament. No period in our history, at least for many years previous, was fraught with so much importance as the present time, and it w, the duty of every man to come forward in support a measures calculated to secure his rights and privileges.— (Cheers.)—Mr. Saunders read a resolution, expressing high satisfaction of the Ministerial plan of Reform. Mr. Robert Jobson moved that this resolution be adopted by the meeting; which was seconded by Mr. Robert Thorn.. ton, and carried unanimously. Petitions founded on the resolution, were ordered to be prep on a f r u e m d thb a ee tt ri d nflo f i t r i i r bt w iht a : r u , K l t e ii d 7 b : Wednesday's post to the House of Commons, to be pre sented by the Lord Advocate, and to the House of Lords ! , to be presented by Lord Lansdowne.
