Yes'erday, pursuant to a resolution of the Council of the Political Union, a General Meeting of the Inhabitants :)f Birmingham was held in Mr. Beardsworth's Reposi tory, for the purpose of expressing their gratitude and 41rMajesty's ma gnan i mous an d pa t r i ot i c : Zso his lviingtbelato Parli amen t i n person , an d ca,7p n e lilic appealing to in g ° to the sense of the people on the great measure of Pailiamestary Reform. At twelve o'ckclc t the Council met at the Globe Ta vern, Temple-street ; and long before two o'clock--the hour appointed for the commencement of the general meeting—the streets in the immediate neighbourhood, and throughout the route the procession was expected to take, were crowded to repletion. Shortly after two o'clock, the members of the Council left the Globe, each member carrying his wand of office. The procession wa preceded according to custom, by the baud of the Unit n dressed in uniform, and drawn in two open carriages. On their arrival at the place of meeting, the rush int, the Repository was terrific in the extreme, and in the course of a few minutes every corner of this itnmens building was crammed to suffocation. We do not remem her,to have seen, on any former occasion, so numerons an assemblage of people. At one time, the number within the interior of the building could not be fewer than from 15 to 20.000, while the throng around the RepoSitory was far beyond all precedent. On the motion of 0. F. Monts, Esq., seconded by Mr. T. C. Salt, THOMAS krxweon, Esq , was called to the Chair. form.—(Cheers.)—An honest jury was the best and most competent tribunal to judge of right and wrong ; and an honest Parliament stood in the light of an honest jury to ,b e purple of England. He saw in Parliamentary Reform the immediate prospect of !fetter doings for the people of England. That patriotic paper the Evening Star, had truly observed—" Now that Reform is at hand, every labouring man may expect to be clothed and fed propor , tionably to the exertion of his own power a—may now hope to marry without dictation, and have children without the terror of the parish stocks." It was a great shame that Englishmen should ever. have been denied such pri vileges and bl e ssing s . Th e same paper very properly rdded—" The cause is not one for liberty alone, but it is the cause of a much more homely but not Ir'ss • vital ob ject." Such were his (Mr. S.'s ) anticipations. When :hey obtained 'a new Parliament, they should have the senate constituted of men who really understood the .vants and mcessities of the poor, and who were com - potent to judge of proper modes of effecting proper remedies. In a recent discussion, Mr. Stevens, a member cf the Common Council -in the City of London, had properly remarked—" There had been robbers in the land—robbers, he would not say of tilt; money, hitt robbers of the rights and privileges of the commtmity—(A voice, " Aye, of the money too !") which rights and privileges the Parliament had bartered for sinecures, offices, and pensons." He agreed with the observation of the person in the crowd—they had robbed the country of its money—(Cheers)—for in his (Mr. S.'s) opinion, the country was now suffering from Acts of Par- Fament which absolutely abstracted the money out of the pockets of the people. Mr. S. concluded by moving the adoption of the Address t;) his Majesty. This day was .pnlilishe4l with Five Engraving, price 74.6 d. A TREATISE on the EXCISION of DISEASED JOINTS.

TORS OF THE CITY OF WELLS. ISEIZE the earliest moment to express my gratitude for the earnest support which I received Pram many of you at the late election. - Coming in amongst you at the eleventh hour, and un assisted by any local advantages,' am well aware that that support was attributable solely to the lively enthusiasm whirls the fall of the Reform Bill inspired. From having taken the field so late, and from the as suranees-I received that the outvoters had been previously secured by my opponent, I was forced to relinquish the idea of a contest, although I am fully convinced that the sentiments of the enlightened majority of the inhabitant voters are decidedly in favour of the Minist,rial Reform. My unwillingness to make your town the scene of a c.mtett in which success was so problematical caused me to desist in demanding a poll. The flattering reception however which I met on the hustings will make me ever rejoice that I appeared before you, and more especially if I was in any degree instrumental in obtaining from your Member, Mr. Edwards Vaughan, hitherto an opponent of the Reform Bill, the dmlaration that lie was no Tory, and not unfavourable to the fundamental principle of Lord John Rus%el!'s measure.

Mr. Hutton, of High-street, with some other gentle men, was then observed to have forced their way tr) the front of the gallery, within reach of hearing...— Mr. Hutton then requested a bearing, and as far as we could catch his expressions, we understood him to inform the meeting that many applications had been made to the Magistrates to induce them to interfere in preventing the ring;ng of the bells, but they had refused to interfere. He (Mr. H.) when he first heard the report that applica cations had been made to the Magistrates, went to them, at the public office, where he found a secret conclave sit ting in deliberation. He told the disaffected persons openly that he thought it wrong that the joy of the people should be interrupted—(Cheers)—upon such a glorious occasion. (Cheers.) The voice of the people ought to prevail. He was happy to repeit that the Magistrates refused to inter fere. He had come down,to. announce to the meeting that th e twlis mete and he hoped they would continue to ring till twelve o'clock at night.--(Cheers.) In expressing once more my thanks and admiration of the l u . e motives which urged you to exert yourselves in my behalf, I will only add that at the next occasion which may offer, should no other c.ndidate of liberal principles present himself to your notice, I will not fail to give every Reformer in your city an opportunity of recording his sentiments, and the cheering evidence which every post iiffrds, shows clearly that it will be a very different con• stituency to which I shall have to address myself. iee- I have the honour to he, Gentlemen, your obedient and humble servant, Old University Club, May 2. ERSKINE PERRY. rpc, on AT a MEETING of the DEPUTIES from the several CONGREGATIONS of PROTES TANT DISSENTERS of the three Denominations in and within twelve miles of London, appointed to protect their Civil Rights, held - at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry, on Tuesday, the 3d day of May, 1831, WILLIAM SNIITH, Esq. in the Chair; Resolved unanimously, I. That the persevering and successful exertions of Lord John Russell to obtain the Repeal of the Sacramental Test, entitle him to the lasting gratitude of all Protestant Dissenters. Mr. ATTWO;II said it was his duty to inform the meeting of the purport of what Mr. Hutton had an nounced. Mr. Attorood then proceeded to state that he much regretted that the ringing of hells, or any other de monstration of joy, should be put forward in any irregular way. lie could assure the meeting that the gentlemen who had called it had in no respect a inctioned any irregular interference. They bad not in any way proposed the ring ... i ins of the bells, nor even the illumination, which it was intended should take place this evening, leaving things of this kind to be decided only by the free will of the parties concerned. And here he thought it his duty to urge upon the meeting the absolute necessity of their exhibiting no violence of any kind towards any individuals who might have the misfortune to differ from them in opinion.—. (Cheers.) They should consider that one man's rights were as good as another's ; and, therefore, he urged them, by the sacred cause they were met there to support, to allow to every individual the same liberty and freedom of expression which they claimed themselves.

The Committee call, therefore, upon their fellow-coun trymen, of every class and condition, to form local com mittees, and to employ personal solicitation in every quarter to which they can direct their influence ; and, without a moment's delay, to have recourse to all those exertions, both collective and individual, which have already been crowned with such signal success at Dover, in South wark, and more gloriously still in the city of London. By great efforts a very large subscription may be col lected in small sums, and such individual, who contributes in any degree to this purely national object, may boast of a share in accomplishing the great work in which all lovers of their country are now so zealously engaged.

MEETING of the INHABITANTS of EDINBURGH, held within the Chapel, East Rose-street, on Saturday the 30th April, 1831, at one o'clock, JOHN CRAIG, Esq., Great King-street, in the Chair; The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted Ist. Moved by ANDREW SKENE, Esq., Advocate, seconded by WM. THOMSON, Esq., M.D. • That the humble and grateful Thanks of this Meetin g are due to his Majesty for the vigour and wisdom with which he has been graciously pleased to exercise his Royal prerogative, by the dissolution of Parliament, a proceeding which testifies the confidence which his Majesty justly has in the loyalty and good sense of the people at large, and which we are satisfied the people will just►fy by the tem perate and judicious use which they will make of the power which, under the Constitution, his Majesty h as placed in their hands; and that a loyal and dutiful Address be presented to his Majesty, expressive of the gratitude and affection of the people of Edinburgh towards his person and Government. The Address consequent on the above Resolution was moved by JOHN CAMTBELL, Esq., of Kilberry, and seconded by ROBEIL, HUNTER, Esq., Advocate. 2d. Moved by DAVID MACLAGAN, Esq. 111. D., seconded by ROBERT SCOTT, Esq. That the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, being now called to exercise that elective power in the choice of a Representative for this city in Parliament, which they hold in trust for the public, this Meeting feels itself bound to declare, that it conceives the Right Hon. Francis Jeffrey, Lord Advocate of Scotland, to have claims for the repre sentation of this city far greater than those of any other person ; that these claims are founded not only on his great public services, but on the honour which he has long im parted to his native city, by his literary and professional eminence ; and on the universal respect and esteem in which he has been always held by all classes of his fellow-citizens. That a respectful petition, found on this declaration, be presented by the inhabitants to the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council, in the humble but earnest hope that, in accordance with the general feeling of the community, and for the honour of the city, they will elect. as Representative of the City of Edinburgh, the Right Honourable Francis Jeffrey, Lord Advocate of Scotland. The Petition founded on the above Resolution was moved by ROBERT THOMPSON, Esq. Advocate, and seconded by RICHARD ALEXANDER, Esq. 3d. - Resolved that the Address to his Majesty be for warded to our illustrious townsman, the Lord Chancellor of England, to be presented to his Majesty; and that the Petition to the Town Council be presented by the Chair man, and a d e putation from the Committee. On the motion of JOHN ArTOHN, Esq., of Inchdairny, a Committee was appointed to carry the above Resolutions into effect, and if found advisabte, to superintend Sub scriptions for promoting the return of Independent Mem bers in any part of the United Kingdom, with power to add to their number. On the motion of Mr. GEORGE WILSON, the thanks of the Meeting were unanimously voted to the Managers of the United Associate Congregation, for the handsome and liberal manner in which they granted the use of the Chapel for the Meeting. The Thanks of the Meeting, on the motion of Sir Join; HAMILTON DALRYMPLE, Bart., were, by acclamation, given to the Chairman for his conduct in the Chair; and the above Resolutions were ordered to be inserted in the London Sun, and Edinburgh Papers. JOHN CRAIG THE MONEY-MARKET. (From the Times.) Late in the day (Tuesday) a rise of nearly one per cent. occurred in Consols, the cause of which is far from being obvious, and hut been the subject -of much conjecture in the city. It is not supposed to have any connection with foreign politics, which is rendered the less likely, as intel ligence from the Continent seldom arrives at so late an hour ; nor can it have any thing to do directly with the Reform question, on the success of which most people have now made up their minds. But what we heard assigned as the cause, and that by persons who are likely to be well informed, is, that the Directors of the Bank of England, who were under great alarm at its progress, and engaged consequently for some time back in measures for their own protection, in contracting the circulation, and other steps calculated at the same time to spread distrust through the whole of the monied interest, have at last come to the conclusion that there was no real ground for any such alarm, and have suddenly relaxed in their system. We are the more inclined to adopt this explanation, because at the same time with the rise in the funds there has occurred also a much greater facility with regard to all money tran sactions out of doors, which could occur on any other supposition. Some of the great monied houses, for ex ample, only yesterday (Monday) were scrupulous in dis counting good bills, who have become desirous to-day of obtaining the same bills at a lower rate of discount. A meeting of Bank Directors was held, it seems, yesterday (Monday), which is an unusual day with that body, and on this occasion the change of sentiment alluded to is sup posed to have been manifested. It may have beeen remarked that a formal c ontradiction, professing tobe from authority, was put forth yesterday by some of the daily papers, to the statement of the rate of discount at the branch banks having been advanced to five per cent. There is now, however, every reason to believe that a resolution to that effect was come to on Thursday, but that it may have been since rescinded on a better consideration of the prospects of the country. The quickness with which these little revolutions in the Bank parlour travel throughout the whole circle of the monied interest, is matter of very com mon observation in the city, and they are undoubtedly the cause of fluctuations in the funds much oftener than people in general are aware.

If the freemen but second t he efforts inevitable.—Times. th e R e f ormers, t h e d e fe at o f G enera l G AS . c oyNE is SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The Scots Times says—" It seems to be a sort of fashion now-a-days to get a periodical account of the illness of this distinguished man, for what purpos e we can sca rc e ly guess . 'Thiee short months ago he had a stroke of palsy, when we knew him to be very busy in the second volume of'" ROBERT Count of Paris." Last week he had a most alarming attack, according to the Edinburgk Conrant,—and some jour nals, fond of copying personal paragraphs, are at this mo ment busy in propagating the dolorous intelligence. We have transferred neither piece of veracious news to our columns, for theiingle'reason that we knew neither to be true. What, for example, is the foundation of the last report ? Neither more nor less than this, that the excel lent Baronet had a dinner party t'otber day, and in amus ing his guests caught a smart cold. To prevent any bad consequences, he was advised, and, of course, submitted, to have blood taken from him, and all was well. This is the whole truth respecting the latest, which we hope will also be the last, absurd story respecting Sir WALTxu. Scarfs health. For the satisfaction of those who are so anxious to transfer his corpus to the Necropolis of Melrose or any other sacred spot, we may add that he is now in excellent health, and that, in the words of Dr. ABER CROMBIE, who saw him ten days ago, he may not only exist, but labour as admirably as We has hitherto done, for 20 yens to come, if he will but take care of himself." the gallery, was received with the most enthusiastic cheer ing, which lasted for some minutes. When the applause had subsided he commenced by thanking the meeting for the honour they had done him in appointing him to take the chair upon that great and glorious occasion, an occa sion in which a patriot King placed himself at the head of his people in the great cause of recovering the lost liberty and the lost happiness of this great and glorious, but long misgoverned and oppressed ration.—(Cheers.) He had never been the flatterer of Kings, nor the sycophant of teen in power; and although his fellow-townsmen had fre quently honoured him with the most gratifying testimo nials of their favour, yet he trusted that no one could justly say that he had ever sought to obtain their approbation by any unjust and unworthy means. But although it was wrong to flatter, it did not, therefore, fellow, that we ought not to do justice to each other ; still less ought they to re frain from doing justice to a patriot Monarch, whose con duct in support of his people touched a pulse in the very bottom of their hearts, and compelled them to break out in one general spontaneous and universal cry of God save the King.—(Tremendous cheers—three times three for the King.) In speaking of the conduct of the gracious Sovereign under whom they had the happiness to live, he could not help remarking, that be had read much of his tory, and most of the great events which history recorded were deeply engraven on his mind ; but among all those events he could not call to mind one in which more true wisdom, virtue, courage, and patriotism, had been dis played than those which had now been exhibited in the person of their gracious Sovereign.—(Cheers.) He would for a moment, call their attention to the particulars of his conduct. (At this period, from the tremendous pressure of the crowd, one of the front railings in the gallery gave way, and for a moment much alarm was excited. When order was again obtained, Mr. Attwood proceeded.) He was happy to assure them, that no accident had oc curred. He then proceeded to state, that they must bear in mind that the King was the common father of all his subjects, and that it was his duty to hold the scales of jus tice with an equal hand between them all. Admirably had the King performed this great duty. He had regarded no calumnies or insinuations which week after week bad re presented that his Royal heart was not favourable to the popular cause. Having discharged his duty manfully in the first instance, according as the Constitution required, by giving his sanction in favour of the great Bill of Par liamentary Reform, he had afterwards most judiciously preserved a dead silence upon the subject, If be had not preserved this silence--if he had suffered .the. generous feelings of his truly British heart to find vent, he would, in some degree, have made himself a partizan in the popu lar cause, and the borough faction would have laid all the blame upon his head. They would have said to him, " All this cry for Reform is your Majesty's own doing— if your Majesty bad not urged them on by your own per sonal interference, the people would have been quiet." In this way their gracious Sovereign would have exposed himself to the personal malice of the bo rough faction on the one hand, and injured the public cause on the other. By the wise and judicious con duct which his Majesty pursued, the scales of justice t-ad been held with - an equal hand, and the great cause of Reform bad trurnphed upon its own merits.—(Cheers.) The borough faction now could bring no charges of undue partiality against the sacred person of the King; hut when the great duties of the King required his Constitutional interference, then it was that his noble feelings all burst out in support of his faithful people. The newspapers had reported, that when his patriotic Ministers suddenly ap plied to him fel. his Constitutional interference, and when the Royal equipages could not be suddenly got ready, the King had said, " Bring me a hackney-coach, for I am de termined to do my duty.”—(Great cheers.) In that awful moment he showed no weakness or hesitation. He might have availed himself of his Constitutional right to dissolve Parliament by proxy ; but it was not by proxy that his British heart was disposed to seive the British people.—(Cheers.) He magnanimously resolved to go in person in the face of a disappointed and maddened faction, who had exhibited conduct almost in the Royal presence which the humble manufacturers of Birming ham had never disgraced themselves by adopting ; and lie trusted they never would. The Duke of Welling ton had certainly exhibited a fine specimen of English courage at Waterloo; but if he (Mr. A.) knew anything of the subject, the King of England had personally ex hibited still more real courage upon this important occa sion. They must bear in mind that a majority of the House of Commons had declared against his Ministers upon General Gascoyne's motion ; that a majority of the House of Lords were doggedly disposed, and that they were in the very act of preparing an address to his Ma . . jesty, praying him not to dissolve his Parliament, when his Majesty broke in upon their deliberations with his Royal crown upon his head, and graciously ordering an immediate dissolution, sent the Members of the House of Commons to face their offended constituents. But it was not merely against these Parliamentary fictions, that their gracious King had to contend. In the very midst of his own Palace, the enemies of the people had been spreading all manner of calumnies, and insinuating cli manner of fears and alarms into his Royal heart• They had repre sented the faithful, loyal, and devoted people of England as working for revolution, and for the vile and destructive changes which anarchy presented. The King had set all these dangers and calumnies at defiance ; he had listened only to his duty, and never did man perform his duty in a more effectual and manly way.—(Cheers.) He could not but again recur to the wise forbearance which their good King had exhibited. He had retarded no calumnies, and no slander. He had preserved silence even when his own household, or what might be called his household, the inhabitants of Windsor, were prevented petitioning in favour of Reform. In this way no shadow of contamina- tion could attach to his conduct. He had strictly done his duty by all classes of his subjects,—he had left the cause of Reform to triumph by its own merits, and then, when the will of the people was made clear, he bad nobly shown that his heart was the same as their's and that he was de- termined to support their rights.—(Cheers.) Mr. A. then proceeded to real the requisition, in virtue of which the meeting was called, and concluded by requesting that if there was any individual in that immense assemblage who held a different opinion from the majority, that they would hear him in a friendly way, without offering the slightest insult to that freedom of opinion which they all claimed and exercised themselves.—(Cheers.) J. SCHOLEFIELD, Esq. rose amidst loud cheers. It might seem as if he were insensible of their kindness, were he not upon the instant to acknowledge with thanks the gra tifying and flattering manner in which the meeting was pleased to receive him. He could assure them, although he thought they overrated his talents, not a man existed on the face of the earth of purer intentions or more dis interested in his object titan he was.—(Cheers ) He would now proceed to the business of the day ; and he was happy to say, considering that it was afternoon, there was now no necessity for long speeches. They had no longer the old opposition to contend with ; for, thank God, their business, like the Bridgnorth election, was a n one way.—(Cheers, and laughter.) They must recollect, bind prudence, justice, moderation, forbearance, and strict legality of all their proceedings. Here was their strength, and they must take care that they did not abuse it-- (Cheers)—for if they did, it was most sure that they would lose it. It was excellent to have a giant's strength, but it was damnable to use it like a giant. Here be would beg leave to make a quotation from the spcech of en Ho nourable Member of Parliament, who had surrendered his borough influence for the benefit of his country, and whose head, or heart, he knew not which most to ad mire, who, upon a late occasion, when speaking of the proud boastings of the borough faction against the people, spoke as follows :—" I shall put forth no Vaunting de fiance of that giant power which now sleeps a faithful servant at our feet—which has ever yet put forth its strength in our defence, but against which, if ever it should turn in madness upon its master, no defiance can avail," That giant power (said Mr. A.) is the power of the people, that giant power is mainly under your controul. You, the men 01 Birmingham, by the courage, patriotism, prudence, and forbearance of your proceedings, have acquired an in fluence over the mind of the English people, which you must take care that yefiu do not forfeit. At the present mo ment, your influence is such, that if ever you should think proper, at the King's call, to adopt any measure whatever, millions of your countrymen would instantly follow your example.—(Cheers.) He, therefore, urged them to pre serve, upon all occasions, the most strict obedience to the laws, and the most generous and manly forbearance towards all their fellow-countrymen who mi4lit possibly differ from them in op:nion. He urged them on no account to commit or to allow any kind of outrage or insult, whether of person or of property, that might be offered on the occa sion of the illumination.— (Cheers, and cries of " We won't, we won't.") He urged them, not only to refrain from outrage and insult themselves, but to prevent all others from doing so —(Cheers.) The following Address was th-n read :-- " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. SIRE,—We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the inhabitants of the town of Birmingham, in town's meeting assembled, humbly beg leave again to approach your Majesty °s Royal presence, for the purpose of expressing our heartfelt gratitude and admiration at the truly Royal and .magnanimous conduct of your Majest, in dissolving your late Parliament in person, and in appealing to the sense of your faithful people on the great measures of Parliamentary Reform, brought forward by your Majesty's upright, virtuous, and patriotic Mi nisters. We would not, Sire, intrude upon the precious hours of your Majesty, if it were not that we are sensible that the expression of the feelings of a grateful people cannot but be gratifying to your Majesty's paternal heart. We admire the wisdom and sound discretion with which your Majesty, holding the scales of justice with an equal hand between your subjects, after giving your Royal sanction in favour of the great and salu tary Bill of Parliamentary Reform, forebore to interfere further by any public demonstration in its support until the exercise of your Majesty's great duties required courage of the highest order, with promptitude, decision, public spirit, and patriotism, seldom to be equalled in the affairs of men. Then it was, that these great qualities were nobly put forth by your Majesty, in the extreme hour of your people's need. We humbly and dutifully return our grateful and heartfelt thanks to your Majesty ; we are ready with heart and soul to support your Majesty in your great and patriotic designs, in which the wisaom of a King, and the affection of a father, equally cambine, to insure the safety and the happiness of the country. We implore the Almighty to bless and preserve your Majesty, and to grant to your Majesty all manner of prosperity in this world, and to bring you to everlasting happiness in that which is to come. Signed by unanimous order of a General Meeting of the Inhabitants of Birmingham, in their name and on their behalf, " THOMAS ATTWOOD, Chairman. G. F. MuNrz, Esq. said, he appeared before the meet ing to support a really loyal address to the King, and if they wished to see a real loyal-looking man, they had only to look at hi►n.—(Laughter.) For many years he was c onsidered by many as not a loyal man, because he did not approve of the conduct of our late King. He did approve of the present Kiu,g, and yet be was still deemed by these same individuals a disloyal subject. He could not under stand the boroughmongers' definition of the term. They abused every one who did not support a King who robbed and plundered the people; and now they designated him disloyal because he esteemed and reverenced a King who did not prey upon the money and liberties of his subjects. With regard to the question of Reform, be (Mr. M.) was not surprised that'the Bill was lost in the late Parliament —on tile other hand, he should have wondered bad it been carried. Could they expect that a parcel of felons, guilty of all kinds. of robberies, sitting in judgment upon themselves, would pass a law by which all their plunder and corruption would be for ever.terminated ?
