STATE OF WESTERN SUSSEX. cluctirsTEß, Nov. 19. The disturbances in Eastern Sussex have unfortunately extended to the western end of the county, except as to the burniugs, of which not an instance has occurred be tween Arundel and Etusworth. However, all the pa -44" between Arundel anti the county of Hants are at this tune in a suite of commotion. The first rising was sa Mun daYs at Felphain ; next day the peasantry of Bognor sad the villages adjoining were iu motion ; and at this moment there are not less than four or five patties of from Aso to five hundred moving front one parish to another, in different districts. Un i I Wedn e sday night no mischief 148 ' l ane ; but fuoti and beer were demanded, and in some '"t 4 ticee money. On Wednt aday a body of farmers and P ltt leinh, to the amount of about 50, who had tweet sworn ,11e as special cenata hl es, accompanied by Lord Gorge Lnnox cud tw o or three other M egiatrates, went to Ear thaw, where they fell iu with a party of from four to five bodied, who were on their way from Dale Park, the re sidence of John Smith, Esq., M.P., to the peaceable vil lage of Iltilnaker, near Good woo d.. They conducte I them. 'my peaceably and respectfully, disclaimed any in teation to do harm, and said that all they wanted was an tacrease of wages. Lord George Lennox addressed them In wi l d attil conciliatory terms, advising them to return quietly to their respective parishes, and endeavour to settle their difteretwes with the fainters ; but telling them, at the Name time, th at i f they should fail in doing so, the : ragietrates would willingly hear their grievances, and en deavour to remove them. This appeared to produce the desired ef f ect, and they immediately departed. However, yesterday other assemblage*, took place. By ten in the Minting ae many as 200 were collected at Halitaker, and 4 still greater number A Ahlingliorne, whist other pat ties Were traversing the fertile district called the Afanhoori, between Chichester and the sea.

'rive fre►luently heard the voice of the Press— that Press which luta crushed the power which attempted to crush it—declare that Half-pay Officers deserved the careen! attention of Governntent. Now, Sir, in the first place, I want to ask you whether you think flee shillings a day sufficient to support a titan—..l will 'not sty gentleman, hut man—is it sufficient to lodge, feed, and clothe a man-- . - I say a single min, without wise and children ? I leave you to determine this question—l do not pretend to answer it myself. Should you say it is not quite sufficient, then let me itsk you, if the public money were more justly distributed than it is, do you not think Government could afford to increase the Captains' half-pay from ss. to 7c a day? Every man, Sir, expects to make something in youth front his exertion. to enjoy when old. I apply this to the military trade as well as to other trades. I have not what you, as a writer, look out for; but if, after twenty.. one years' writing, you get only ss. a d iy, it will be a very bad look out. You must excuse the style of my letter; far I, like Othello, am rude in speech. If you are inclined to assist Half•pay Officers, I dare say the Morning Herald will assist you ; for that Paper possesses a, generous spirit. I am, your obedient servant, T. 111. I'. S.—l am sure, Sir, the King, his Ministers, and people, wish to du justice to lislf-pay Officers, because a man is incapable of making money when employed in protecting trade. That ',tweeted trade should think of its protecting power and friend. You understand me, I hope—l am rude in speech. COURT CIRCULAR. .

THE PRESENT IS THEtTIME FOR REFORM. For twelve or eighteen months past we have been stTotigly Kept*. sensed with the idea, that the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel would come to perceive the wisdom of introducing some um. sure of Reform. Doubtless, It would have been extremely sue. derate, perhaps absolutely trifling; but still, since the slightest change would have been a recognition of Me principle, that the system required amendment, we would have hailed it with plea sure, as the hnbinger of a series of improvements, which would ultimately have replaced the people in possession of their right s . Probably it was an act of simplicity on our part, to entertain such a notion; yet we had what appeared to be good reasons for it ; and we were not singular in our opinion. We admit the truth of lir. Pitt's doctrine, that tinder the present system there cannot be an honest Minister: our reliance, however, was not upon the men in power, but upon the exigencies of their politi cal position, upon their prudence, their sense of individual inte rest, anti even their ambition. The effbct of this conviction was, not to relax our zeal In the cause of reform, but to induct us to husband our Meg for a time,. to watch the course of events in Parliament and the elections, and to wait for that tide of public feeling which the jounialist cannot create, and with out the help of which he soon discovers, that in putting forth his appeals and exhortations, be is but preaching to the winds. We think the time is come, when the people of this country are ripe for some great and united end in favour of reform, and when the chances of success are incomparably greater than they have ever been before. In t he, first place it is incontestable that the present Parliame n t is snore pOpular in its composition than any of its predecessors, for a long course or years. There never were so many Members chosen solely on the ground of their past services to the people, or on the faith of the known liberality of their opinions. M r . Brougham and Lord Morpeth's return without exeense for York. shire; Mr. Hume's return for Middlesex ; Mr. Grant's for Nor. with ; and Sir Ronald Fergiisson's for Nottingham ; with many others of the same description, are new features almost sufficient to mark an era in the state of the representation. In counties or burghs where there was the least opening for the display of public feeling, if a change took place, that change almost with. out exception was in favour of the popular cause. The present Parliament no doubt contains much bad matter; but we may safely say, that it has a greater infusion of popular feeling in it, and that it is infinitely better disposed to promote reform, than any one which has preceded it within the moms ry of living men. The next encouraging circumstance is, the singular anti ano. malous position of the Ministry. It seems to have felt a sort of paralysis clueing the elections: its hand was scarcely seen, or its influence felt. There were Whigs and Tories, Churchmen and Anti-Churchmen, Free.Trade.men , and wisdom.of.ancestors men, all blazoning their principles; but scarcely any body hoisted the colours of the Ministers, except in Scotlani,where men would enlist under Belzebub's banners, if he were first Lord of the Tre asury. How did it happen that the Ministry fell into this strange state of abeyance? Apparently it was because it rested on no intelligible basis. It stood aloof both from Whigs and Tories; it had no distinctive creed or emblems no principles to appeal to; no tangible object s to h o ld ou t whic;h could allure any class of men to its standard; except the mere Swiss of state. And now we see it in Parliament in thesame predicament. No. ' body knows what are its doctrines, or who are its adherent s . The Whigs disown it; the High Tories, who make their prin. ciples a matter of conscience, deem it an abomination ; and the Duke's anathema against reform, having cut the slender tie that connected it with the people, no one who possesses or seeks po pular favour, will lend it any support. Even its influence over the corps of mercenaries who are at the service of every Mi nistry, is less than usual, for to do it justice, it has sacrificed a good deal of the patronage by which suds influence is upheld. 'hit whether we have correctly explained the causes of the sin. gular position in which it stands is of little consequence. The fact is obvious, that no Ministry for half a century has had so little of that organised Parliamentary strength behind it, which enables it to defy attacks. The British Ministers, in ordinary cases, are merely the clerks or managing Co m mittee of th e Aristocracy (but possessing of course some distinct passer through the favour of the Crown), and at present it happens most oppor tunely that they have lost the confidence of a great proportion of their employers. The conjuncture is theref re most favour. able for carrying a measure which no Ministry perhaps will ever willingly concede. t falls out fortunately too, that a large portion of the Aristo cracy, usually the most averse to innovation, are at this moment actually disposed to promote reform. In this circumstance we witness the beneficial effects 01 the new French Revolution. Such an event speaks with a warning voice to all refletting men, on the danger of keeping alive a feeling of estrangement, dia. gust, and indignation in the minds of the great mass of the people towards the Government. It has, we firmly believe, con verted thousands of Tories to the cause of reform. We , have seen, within these few days, the Earl of Wincltelsea and the Duke of Richmond renounce their long-cherished sentiments on this subject. May we not be sure that thousands of others who were not fettered as they were by their recorded votes and opi nions, have done the same We regard it as a tOrtunate circumstance that the country is perfectly quiet, and free of every symptom of turbulence or sedition. The King is not only popular, but beloved in every cottage of the empire. There Is no hostility in any portion of the people to the existence or just privileges of the Peers, or to the framework of the GoVernment. There is not, in short, the slightest materials, out of which the most nervous anti.jacobin could raise an alarm for the tires in Kent and Surrey have no connection with politic*. One, and only one grievance, the corruption and perversion oftite representation leaves a perpetual soreness in the minds of the people. It may be forgotten for a season amidst the stir of other interests, or the call of business ; but-- "I Ever and anon of griefs subdued There comes a token like the scorpion's sting 1" Events force the subject into notice hem time to time; and when this happens, men cannot shut their eyes to the intolerable and scandalous magnitude of the abuse ; nor is it easy to suffbr their thoughts to dwell upon it without having their feelings hurried by a burst of honest indignation. Hence, those fits of public irritation and discontent, which have recurred every six or seven years in this country since 1790; and which will, and must, increase In frequency and force, unless prevented by timely reform, till discontent is changed into disaaction, and terminates either in the overthrow of the constitution, or in its conversion Into a pure despotism. The late French Government fell, not simply because it was bad ; for it was better than Napoleon's which was patiently submitted to; but it fell because it had lost its hold on the affbctions of the people. The rotten burghs may be extra lied by the Duke of Wellington as something too perfect for uninspired reason to reach ; they may be baptised the pride of ages," and envy of nations," but if they are Wend to the people, they cannot be maintained without endangering the existence of the Government ; and such dishonest eulogies will only excite a feeling of indignation at the brazen impudence which utters them. The country is quiet, orderly, and bee of Irritation at present. Let moderate men then come forward and unite in promoting reform, when every thing invites and favours their efibrts ; and the winde people will readily follow them. If the middle ranks hold back, the cause of reform will most certainly betaken up by the lower, whose prudence is seldom a match for their seal When this happens either Parliament still disregard their peti. Lions, and all the stir will end in nothing; or what experience shows to be possible, alarm may be f e lt or counter f e i ted at the violence of their language and proceedings,. spies let loose, plots got up business paralysed, a few misguided creatures saerified, and all the atrocious and melancholy scenes of the Castlereagh reign of terror acted over again. This alternative is not certain, but It is possible; and the best means of avoiding it is for the middle classes to do their duty. To all these reasons in favour of petitioning immcxliately for reform, we are able to add, that persons in Parliament, with the best means and the best qualifications for judging, are strongly impressed with a belief that there is a. higloprobability, approach. ing to a certainty, of some considerable reform being conceded, if the people perform their part with zeal and prudence. This we know from the moat unexceptionable authority. As to the sort of reform which should be sought, we shall say something on Saturday. • _ (From the Manchester Guardian.) We have heard from various quarters with great pleasure, but with no little surprise, that it is considered aimed a matter of certainty that Mr. Brougham's motion for Parliamentary Reform will be carried. We thi , k it likely, both from what has been said in Parliament by various Members, and from the opinions expressed by several of the most acute and well-informed of the Newspapers, that there ha+ taken place an almost fundamental change in the tendency of the Premier's policy ; and that he has determined, Instead of boldly throwing himself on the people (by " the people," it may be necessary to explain that we mean the educated and intelligent part of the community), to seek shelter under the manna, of the borough.mongering aristocracy. But this body is no longer what it was; its palmy state is over ; it s hold upon the public mind has been vastly diminished; and its usurpation of the popular right of representation will asmredly not long be acquiesced in. That Reform would come sooner or later we have never, for many years, doubted; we have always regarded the question as one of time; and, from the rapidity with which it has latterly made its ',regress in the public mind, we now entertain a very confident belief that the period of its advent cannot be deferred. (From the Liverpool Albion) Whatever may be the fate of the momentous question of Re. form in the present Session of Parliament, its ultimate succe ss we now regard as certain. Neither the influence of the Arisio. cracy, nor the power of the Government can arrest the march of political any more than they can check the progress of moral provement. Meanwhile, the duty of the middle classes, whose cry for Reform is loud raid universal, is plain. They will have to arbitrate between the Claims of the people who ask too much, and of those who refuse to concede any thing. The middle clines must t , pursue the even tenor of their way," neither swerving to the right nor to the, left, but pursue, steadily and fearlessly, the great constitutional objects which they have in view,—Reform in the (louse of Commons ; 'the extension of the right of voting and of representation; ana the enforcing of the most rigid eco. ,nomy in the expenditure of the Government. (From the Scots Times.) The whole country now appears to be on the qui sire with re gard to Parliamentary Reform with this salutary feature, that the movement emanates chiefly from the, middling ranks. Thequestion, if carried at all, therefore, will be carried by the triumphant reasoning in the petition of the well educated, right thinking portion of the nation. The most sanguine expectations are entertained of the success of Mr. Brougham's' motion. 1 (From the Coventry Herald.) flis Grace the Duke of Wellington has brought his Official blunders to a termination. When a man has rendered valuable services to the State, both as a soldier and a Minister, as the Duke of Wellington has done, it ought to excite regret when the brilliancy of his fame is dimmed by the conuoission of errors ; not merely for their absurdity, but for their singular inconsis. tency with the general quality of his mind. On one occasion, we tind his Grace performing an act of justice towards his country,--an ACC SO wire and patriotic, as would give increased lustre to the brightest reputation that ever Statesman bore, and in the accomplishment of his noble purpose, he exhibits A firm. ness of resolution in all respects worthy nib's renown; and then again, he is discovered, with indescribable fatuity, attempting to stem the torrent of public opinion, resi s ting the national voice, and weakly endeavouring to resist the mighty progress of the Constitutional rights of the people. In this set he draws upon himself the balignatign of the whole empire, envelopes himself In the derision of the civilised world, trembles before the very teflise of society, and flintily retires from Whet amidst the scoff and ridicule of mankind. When the Duke made his notorious speech against reform, we thought It of no importance. As it respects the cause itself, we knew it could not retard _it. The influential portion of society see the n ecess ity o r reform ; they have willed that it shall take place, and their will it is ha possible for the Duke of Wellington, or any other Minister, to resist. (From the Nottingham Review) On Monday week, there wasp numerous meeting of the inha bitants of Nottingham, to petition the King and both !rousts Of Parliament. Petitions entering largely into the question of re form and taxation, were proposed anti received Anil was re solved that Lord Holland should be requested to preseht that to the Lords, and the members for tho burgh the petition to the Commons. (Prom Ho rsh a mo Advertisvi) The freeholders td• haul agreod to petition the House of Commons fur 4 Hell= of Varilament. The petition calif fur vote by ballot. The petitioners look on the present state of the repmsentation as dangerous to this nation, and to other nations also. (From the Nottingham Reticak) Extraordinary as were the events of last woek, this trill pay rallel it in interest; As we predicted, thu hero of I%4de-that has been obliged to bend to the btonol-the voice of the people ha* gone forth, and we firmly believe, no Ministry will be able to mtdiltain.it4 ground, withota giving way to the popular, cry fin retrenchment and reform ! The unbending opposition of the Duke of Wellington's Ministry to these demands, hag lost them their Places, .turd may all who will hot edvocate the rights aad -claims of the people, be obliged to follow , to the right,gbout, We hail this event ns a triumph for t h e pt‘ople as Indicating, in it jauguagadoo strong to be trilsunderstood; that if the hero of Waterloo amid not stand his ground, when pitted against re foint, 110 toan, nor any number of men, will be able to carry on the Government of this country, without meeting the wishes of the people on this all.important point. Even the London Courier, that most abject Vicar of Bray—that long stickler fcr antiquated risbts—acknowledges that the Duke has been ousted for his opposition to Parliatne-t-.~v Reform! With respect to the Ministry that has fatten. there is not one individual worths of a word. excepting the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peet. Had the Duke given us Reform, and that he could have done, there is no Statesman living whom we would prefer as first Minister of the Crown. With respect to Sir It. Peel, we feel bound to say a few words; during his administration of the Home Deportment there have been no suspensions of the Consti. tution, many acts against the liberties of the people have either been repealed or suffered to expire; the Alien Act has been re. duced into a less questionable form ; and his endeavours to amend the criminal law, together with his unimpeachable In. ' tegrity, will alivays confer a lustre on Ills name. He has been the good administrator of a bad and corrupt system. Of the individual likely to form the succeeding Mtristry, though who they will be is at present uncertain, we congratulate the country that what they will be, and what they mutt be, Is as clear as the sun at noon day ; they must be reformers, and while we are ad vocates for Reform In its widest acceptation, we cannot but re. joice in any step which brings us nearer to the summing honuni for the country, a full, fair, and free representation ()ate ; eople in Parliament. _ (From tho Slawford Netvs.) GLORIOUS NEWS FOR VIE COUNTRY! RESIONATION OF MINISTERS. We have now the heartfelt gratification of congratulating our readers on the utter defeat anti discomfiture of the Duke of Wellington's Ministry, and their consequent resignation. This intelligence will indeed Wadden the hearts of those who, after reading the King's Speech and the bravado declaration of the late Premier against alt reform, were prepared to expect that the Duke had made such a bargain with the majority of the great horoughinongers as to command sufficient strength in both Houses to keep himself in, and to beard at once the King and the people. Little Stamford has had a good deal to do with these mighty events. We happen specially to know that the Marquis of Exeter dined with the Duke of Wellington on Sunday, and there is not the least doubt that at that dinner arrangements were made between the two Peers, the one to lend Goverinnent both his Members, and the other to pledge Government back again to resist any enquiry into the Stamford case. We observe that the Morning Chronicle of Wednesday puts Mr. Tennyson into the list of the probable new Ministry. With that Gentle man's high talents, business habit', consistent Parliamentary life, independence of party, and steady devotion to every prac tical measure in favour of the people, we should rejoice to hear that he formed a part of any Administration, satisfied as we are that Mr. Tennyson never would join a Cabinet that was not pledged to those great objects he, has 411 his life promoted. (From the Kent Herald.) A spirit of insubordination is still very general among the labouring classes. In several cases assemblages of the peasantry have taken the law into their own hands, and after having die. tated terms to the farmers, have, so far rather considerately we must own, insisted on the Clergy enabling the farmer to meet his increased expeneet by an ample reduction of tithes. Tithes and rents must cow' down, and then, perhaps, we shall see the Aristocracy and the Chtirch joining in the demands for a reduc tion of the taxes and for a Iletbrm in Parliament. Till this is accomplished we despair of beholding a restoratio n of p ros p er i ty and good order—an t i under any circumstances it will be long ix lore the labouring classes are entirely rescued fiom the demo. Wised and desperate condition to which misgovernment has reduced them. The rights of human nature can never be violated with impunity, and we are paying the frightful price of our political and social errors. (From the Lickfleld Mercury.) The Duke of Wellington's Administration is at an end. It will be asktal " What was the cause ?" ( or i n p l a i ner words), i What was t that turned him out ?" We answer, Public Opt. aloft turned him out. And from this answer two conclusions, equally important and satisfactory to Britons, nifty be drawn — let, that we have the power and the will to express public opi. nion ; and, 2dly, that the candid expression of that opinion commands practical submission to it—even from the Hero of Waterloo—backed by the mercenary forces always in Ministerial pay, and the select "corps en resee" of a proud and unbend. mg Mgarchy. These two evident conclusions, namely,—that public opinion can be expressed,— and that, when expressed, it t. allpowerful,—demand the serious consideration, especially in these times, of every one of our reflecting countrymen. We will not iterate our repeated arguments in favour of reform; but we would appeal to those who are opposed to it in any shape or degree, whether this recent manifestation of public Opinion, illustrated by practical results, is not a sufficient test of the ab. surdity of all political pri.;ciples which set public opinion at de. fiance Y Wtt would simply ask, whether it is better toguide such opinion by concession, or to be overwhelmed by it by a vain re. sistance From the Do D Gaze The administr a tion of the uke ncaster W ofWellington is . at an end. After the signal defeat of Ministers in the House of Commons, on Monday evening, on the motion of Sir Henry Parnell for a Select Committee to examine the Civil List, nothing less than a dissolution of the Cabinet could have been antici uted. It may be true, as has been a s s e rt e d, th a t l ess ministerial Influence has, from whatever cause, been exercised during the last election than at any former period. But the weakness of the Cabinet itself has been proverbial ; and its unpopularity has been in. creased and its dissolution accelerated, not only from the tone of certain passages contained in the Royal Speech, but from the determined manner in which the Duke of Wellington expressed himself against the retbnn of all abuse in the representation, and in favour of an adh erence to things as they are. These have proved the death.blow to the administration ; and its dis-olut ion presents another convincing proof of the accumulating weight of public opinion. (From the Scotsman We understand that steps are taking tb. organising a public meeting in Edinburgh * but nothing has yet been done. in the meantime, we hope the other pop u l ous t owns will bestir them. selves, and if Edinburgh does not lead, it is certain to follow. (Abridged from the Glasgow Free Press.) PAISLEY it EFORSt MEETING. On Monday, at one o'clock, a meeting of the Paisley Reform Society was held In the New Relief Meetlng.house, Thread. st rect. The Church was crowded to excess. At half.past one the Committee, accompanied by Sir John Maxwell, Mr. Wallace of Kelly; Mr. Orr of Ralston, and other gentlemen of the neigh. bourhood, entered the Church, and were recvived with deafen. ing cheers. On the motion of Mr. D. Ritchie, Sir John Maxwell was called to the chair. Mr. Gardner, writer, a ft er a speech of considerable length and eloquence, proposeda series of resolu tions, which were read amid great applause. They depicted the present ar °melons stare of the representation, and urged the propriety of a speedy Radical Reform, and Vote by Ballot. The resolutions were seconded by Mr. Mason. Mr. HOUSTON spoke in favour of the resolutions as they stood, as all was called lbr In the words Radical Reform. 'I hey should act consistently, and not ask what would render their Ohm; ridiculous.—The resolutions were then carried amid im mense cheering. Mr. FLEMING, after a few appropriate remarks relative to the necessity of Rolm!), read the petitions to the King and the Commons, which being seconded by Mr. John Henderson, were unanimously agreed to amid deafening cheers. The meeting was thereafter addressed by Mr. WALLACE of Kelly, with his usual eloquence, and his speech was ro t eatedly int errupte 4 by enthusiastic cheering. When the petitions to the King and House of Commons were agreed to, Mr. WALLACE congratulated the Meeting on their good sense, on having resolved to petition the King and House of Commons only. So long as he lived he would never conde. wend to sign a petition to that corrupt oligarchy, the House of Peers, who domineer over the rights and privileges of both King and people....(Great applause.) THE•; DINNER, In the evening a dinner was given to Mr. Wallace of Kelly, and covers were laid in the Rentrewshire Tontine for :NSg, n th:men Mr. DAVID Itercitte took the Chair, supported on his right by Mr. Wallace, and on his lett by Sir John Maxwell. Mr. John M'Arthur and Mr. Wm. Barr officiated as croupiers. Mr. Wallace wore the badge of the Birmingham Union on his lest breast, suspended by a in-coloured riband. The first toast was " The Pen*, the only source of legitimate ' poser," drunk with great applause, and followed by appropriate sang " A man's a man fora that." The band played the appro priate air, " Let Whig anti Tory all agree." The CHAIR:II AN next gave " King William the Fouith, and may he soon he delivered ilom evil Counsellors " This toast was drunk with long and loud cheering, the band playing" God save the King." The CHAIRMAN, after an animated *;ieech gave " A spsvdy Radical Reform in the Comm o n s H ouse o f Parliament," which was drunk with enthusiasm. Mr. Aitken followed with the song, " The hour of retribu. times nigh," which was joined in full chorus by th e w h o l e as semblage. The band played "The dowundi of Paris." "The health of Mr. Flume," was next given. In proposing the next toast, the CHAI It MAN assed a high encomium oa Mr. Wallace. He concluded w ith !imposing " The health of Mr. Wallace," which was drunk with nine times ni ce, and—one cheer more. Mr. WALLACE returned thanks in a long and eloquent speech. In the course of his tuldress, he stated that he ad his friends were devising measures to bring thedefeettve state r of the representation of Se , ,tland muter the consideration of the free holders of llenfrewshire, and he trusted that they would set a laudable example of liberality, which would soon be followed by other counties. This annoutiument was followed by cheering. HUNTING INTHI.LIGENCE. AITOINTMIENTS rtiE k NSUINU VREK.

SPIRIT Or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, We have inserted, betides the letter of " Philtre , thropos" to-day, another communieution, to whit' we have ourselves added the sizierture of " Radi. cal " The writer manfully aleispa U 3; and praise the' mode of eleccioe by I.a lot. We do not thinl knows so much of election by balot in Franc. as we do; sod, yet we Irke it not. The teking awes of publicity, it is our conviction, takes away tit.' last restraint upon bad men---shame. However, this, and every other matter connected with elec. tions, must - now come sub judice. We will not fetter ourselves by baa trding a premature opinion. We must have a reform ; the people of England— all the people of England—will have it; the oppo sition 0 . 4, therefore, if any be madly attempted, will vanish like dew before is scorching sun. For our own parts, we should not be sorry if the first measure of the new Administration were to bring in a Bill incnpacitating all ;,laces from returning Members to Parliament, in which it did not appear that there were a specified number of voters—say 500, This being settled, other arrangements and details might take place afterwards ,• but we must -hear no more of Sarum and Gatton and Wootton-Basset hundred, except as of abotni. nations . too horrible to 'be long thought. -of. &rmin,hum and Manchester will, no doubt, obtain representatives from the extinguished boroughs; but it is, we think, desirable that the number of mem bers of the House of Commonsshou'd he diminished rather than increased, for there are already too many, and there is already too mu b talking for the de spatch of business. None but the wilfully blind want, at this time of day, reasons for reform; but to the bigotted and anti-reformers we beg to present for consideration, the proceedings in th e H ouse o f Commons on Monday Nit, on the Civil List.— There never, perhaps, was a diVisiors more eatett hoed to prove the actual working of the borough system, and to cut short all complex and elaborate arguments about " virtual representation," " diver sified principles of election," &c, &c., which have commonly hen pressed into the service by those who regard immobility as the peat ctioe of alt political institutions. Of the two general classes of representatives—those who were sent to Pro fitment by many voters, not under any ascertain able or sordid influence, and those who owed their seats to a few voters, implicitly governed in nynt cases by some one or two individuals -there was on this occasion a line drawn, more marked and characteristic than we recollect to have witnessed on any former one. The County Mem bers, (speaking of things in the bulk) may be con sidered as having taken pint with the country ; the close Borough Members against it. Seventy-six County Members, English and Irish, voted for Sir Usury Purnell's motion, and twenty-six against it I as nearly as possible three to one! In the mino dly, moreover, were to be enumerated the whole • body of those who held places under Government-- more, we believe thau an hundred perms out of the 204 composing that minority. Of the Scotch Members--Representatives we were going to call them—thirty voted in the minority, with Ministers, and seven only against them. Every place in Scot land elects on the close borough system; we hare, therefore, in England and I re l an d, amon g t h ose chosen by numbers and property combined, three to one voting for public economy ; and in Scotland, where the .vhele •businsss is a job, we have four to one voting for a blind irresponsible expenditure. We heartily wish that the Duke of Wellington had inquired into the route of public feeling on the sub ject, before be pledged himself and his Ministry against the very principle of Reform; but he shu , his eyes and his ears, and we have seen the con. sequence !—Times. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sia,—You are pleased, in your observations in this morning's Paper, on " the system of the new Admi n i s t ra ti on, " to say, " they must retrench, they must reform, or radicalism will in. fallibly swallow them, and us, and all up. They must retrench seriously, setting the example themselves; and they must re. form mo lerately, but boldly and firmly.'. You further add, We have no wish—the virtuous and honourable part of the community has no wish—to hear of annual Parliaments, and ballot, and universal hufthige ; but an end must be put to Gauen, and Old Sarum, and such infamies ; and the vile nilsarrangemetit of East Itetford must be remodelled." Now Sir, as a radical, allow me to inquire why you should apprehend that radicalism, unless there be mo d era t e referin, should lnfal. Wily swallow up the Ministers, yourselves, and ail p But even suppose there was such a swallowing up, would the country sus. tan any great and irretrievable loss l ItadiCalinn will net destroy but restore. It may destroy party interests, piny views but hot the country. It will destroy th e accursi..4 oligarchy which has produced ail our late and present misrule; but it will restore the people to their proper station. Moderate reform now will not meet the people's wishes, nor answer their interests, It has been 4, laymi too long. There must be a substantive reibrm; or ratlisadtsm will go to work in spite of all your declamation auailist it. You are quite correct in stating that the new AdiainTstranon must '' reform boldly and firmly." You amine that yourselves and the virtuous community are ON and tee same ; Is very modest not to say more, but we modeAly request to assure you that there are now very many of the virtuous community who would bv rut means wish to be associated with you. You desisre that yourselves and the virtuous and honourable part of the community have no wish to hear of the ballot ; we would undeceive you ; will you be bol enough to assert that my Lards Anon), Mai:dock, Miring. ton—that ifir Ronald Ferguson, Mr. Sykes Mr. Robert Gordon, Mr. Warburton , Mr. John W oo d, Mr. fume, Mr. Marshall, and many other public men do not belong to the virtuous and ho. %nmable part of the community Y Yet these are all friends tithe ballot. snu are not at all aware of the progress that the, ytemelple of ballot has male. It Is universally at knowtc;aled that the French owe the preservatien of their liberty te' the ballot ; It is wow generally considered that ballot would secure to Englishmen the intispentient exercise of the elective Ilmiehise, it would 100 a total nullity to give a representation to the great and leading manufketuring towns, unto:B at the same ti me , you gave the protection of the ballot to the:se to whom 41411 bo grouted the elective Ibuichise. Yes, Sir, you are quite correct when you state that an end must be put to Hatton and Old Sarum, and such Infamies ; but you are guilty of a great error when you connect ballot with annual Parliaments and universal intr, huge. With ballot you will get rid of the cry of annual 14I' 'laments and universal sufli•age ; the Radicals t stand alone on ballot, and it would be wise of the IiOW Administra. lion to propose it ; and certainly they uttisi not oppose it If they would command the suport of people, and the tenure of their seats in office Is onl y that tit public, popular opinion ; o r i y t a n or l iu T et u ar t s It be of h l v, r ll i t t r ft ti c' s!. to eTy a :r Y ti t , and bUt 01 . ° I i f te t h l e n t tins, 1 toAin Sir, seem to Intro fallen Into lament Ole Igno. o have ropped asleep; it used to be I,otsr boast Mit you were led by the public.
