The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to : Resolaed,—lst. That this Meeting views with great sa tisfaction the recent changes in the Administration, whet ehy a Ministry decidedly hostile to Reform, has been replaced by one, the principal members of which stand pledged to Reform, Retrenchment, and the amelioration of the pre sent distresses of the country. 2d. That this Meeting feels convinced that without the application of some great and efficient remedy, the middle classes of society through the pressure of taxation, tithes, and parochial rates,. must, of necessity, fall into general poverty and distress ; and that a speedy Reform in the Commons House of Parliament will tend greatly to pre vent so lamentable a result, as well as to obviate the re currence of such dreadful acts of outrage as have recently, in Ile& 4nee of the !awe, led to' the violation of the public peace, and the destruction of the property of his Majesty's subjects in many parts of the kingdom. 3d. That this Meeting deems it desirable to urge upon the Legislature the necessity of taking into consideration the very defective state of the representation of the Bo roughs in general, and of adopting such measures as will secure to the people a more extensive representation, and also of shortening the duration of Parliaments. 4th. That this Meeting considers any Reform as alto gether nugatory, tallith accompanied with some measure, to protect Electors in the discharge of their duty, and is of opinion that the Ballot is the most efficacious mode of preserving the pushy of election. - sth. That a Petition to both Houses of Parliament, founded upon the foregoing Resolutions, be insole liately prepared for signatures. 6th. That the Petition to the House of Lords he pre sented by Lord King, and the Petition to the House of Commons by Mr. Hume. 7th. That the Resolutions and Petition be advertised in the Brighton Guardian ; Portsmouth, Maw', and Gosport Herald ;• the Hampshire Advertiser and Royal Yacht Club Gazette, Provincial Papers ; and also in The Sun, Morning Chronicle, Morning Herald, and Globe and Traveller, London Papers.

(From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) NEWPORT. The requisition (which we mentioned in our last) to the Magistrates of the island, requesting them to calla meeting for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for Reform, not having been acceded to, a meeting was held at the Green Dragon Hotel, Newport, on Wednesday, the 9th instant, at which it was resolved that a public meeting should be called for the above purpose on the Wednesday following. A committee was at the same time appointed to make the necessary arrangements, and printed notices were posted announcing the above determination. Accordingly, on Wednesday lest, a public meeting was held at the Green Dragon Hotel, for the purpose described above. In less than five minutes after the door was opened the room was completely filled, and must have contained at least 600 persons. A platform was erected at the upper end of the room for the accommodation of the speakers, and the gen tlemen of the press. It was shortly afterwards proposed and seconded by the whole assembly, " that Charles Day, Esq. should take the chair." Cwaneas DAY, Esq., having taken the chair, amidst the loudest acclimatione, said.:.—lt was not toy intention to have taken any part in the business of this day, but cir cumstances have occurred which have induced me to change my determination. I allude more especially to a certain petition which has been got up in a very unfair manner—unfair,. because many have signed that petition who would not have signed it if they bad been left to exer cise their free and unbiassed choice. I was also, I confess, at first disposed to give credit to those apprehensions which were entertained by some, that under the present state of excitement some tumult or disturbance might have arisen. But, Gentlemen, from the extensive enquiries I have nude into the state of this island, I perceive hutch tranquillity and such a peaceful disposition, that I can ace nit danger whatever in our congregating. I regret es. eatedingly that your choice has not fallen upon one more competent to the task of filling your chair ; but, Gentle.. men, I pledge myself that what is wanting in ability shall be made up by an honest and faitleul discharge of my du ties us your chairman. I will just state to you the course which will be this day offered for your consideration. Cer tain resolutions will be proposed, and if these should be approved, a petition founded on them will he presented fir your signatures. Having stated thus much on the course which will he pursued this slay, I will now, in the first place, congratulate this merting on the change which has taken place in the administration of our affairs. The pre sent Ministry is formed of individuals pledged to carry into effect a system of Deform, retrenchment, and economy, a system, whose chief object will lie the amelioration of the condition of the labouring classes ; and I trust the measures which will be adopted here this day will be actuated by a proper degree of moderation. which shall tend to cheer the Ministry in their laudable work ; I trust also that what ever observations may lie made will be made in such a true spirit of propriety, that the mint fastidious will not be able to offer any reasonable objection. I might enlarge on this subject very considerably, butt I know there are many gen tlemen present who are anxious to address you, 1 shall, therefore, merely detain you while I state my conviction that the present Ministry, if they but put their shoulders well to the wheel, will crush every difficulty that can he opposed to them. 1 trust and hope that good order will be strictly observed, and that we shall riot Live cause to our enemies to say, 0 at our object was to pull down, and not uphold, the institutions of our country. I must therefore earnestly bespeak your attention to all who may address you. CUARLES Wonster, Esq.-1 am called to embark in a duty, which I feel some reluctance in performing, fur no power of language can describe to you the sense I I ave of toy own inability to do justice to the subject we ate this day met to consider. However incompetent I may be, I trust, however, 1 shall receive your kind consideration, which, indeed, my being a novice in public speaking ren ders the more necessary. Gentlemen, the dive are short, and I feel perfectly confident that the shorter my speech, the less I trespass on your patience and time, the batter. The late change in the Administration of this country is calculated to spread universal joy in the minds of all, and to revive more particularly the spirits of those, who have long wished to have a voice in the election of such repre sentatives as should lift them from a state of slavery an I degradation, to freedom and independence. such, Gentle men, as is my birthright and yours.

Let us look with gratitude to the past, and not allow his future fume to be sullied by the recollection of the last fetal declaration which cast bins from the pinnacle of his power. Gentlemen, by referring to notes, one rosy speak on such a subject for an hour or two, but there is nothing to induce me to do so, 119 I know I shoal beoccu pying that One which will be so much better employed by must, however, perform that duty which has been imptpied on me by those who have been delegated by you. I will never refuse to put my shoulders to endeavour to uphOld 'he pillars of the State, but it is the caterpillarit I w auld to destroy. The Chairman has told you very correctly, that so far from' discontent, there is a general sprit ofre spect for the laws pervading this island. NO man on earth in his senses can attempt to justify the outrages which have lately been committed on property, for we must all be aware that whatever the law allows a man to possess, is entitled to the protection of that law ; and who ever disregards the rights of property, very justly exposes himself to the penalties awarded by such law. I would therefore recommend all to abstain from acts of violence against the agriculturist. In all commu nities there will be perturbed and. restless spirits, whose condition, as it cannot he worse, induces them to believe they can profit by a change, and that, therefore, they will be justified in bringing about Such change by illegal sets these, :however, are to be deprecated; I am, however, fully persuaded that Ind their attention been properly di verted, ad that they could see their own interests in their true light, they would perceive that the yeomanry are the very lest persons in the world who deserve their ill-wilt; they are fellow-labourers' in the . 'satrie'vineyarit with 4., haveluirne with us all the burdens which have been im- sed on us in the shape of tithe!, rates; and ; their' interests are our inte;rests, and t, opposing them we be come our own enemies. It now only remains - "for toe to &Imre you (and I can but do it with toy mouth, as you cannot see my heart), that I never felt myself so extremely mortified as at this moment at my own utter inability to do justice to the resolution which has been placed in my hand, and which I propose to you with the greatest sin cerity and pleasure.—( Cheers.) The first resolution was then read by Mr. Faun, and which with the others will be found in another part of our paper. Foram'lex Htr.t, Esq., then rose, and was immedi ately greeted with loud and long-continued cheers. Silence having been restored, he addressed the meeting as fol lows :--Gentlemen, I am really at a loss to express to you my gratitude for the very flattering reception which you have just now given me, particulatly as I am a stranger, I verily believe, to four-fifths of the present company. My visit is the result of a compliment which was raid me by a deputation, at a vety late hour last night, and in compliance with the request then conveyed to me, I felt it toy duty to repair litre to express my sentiments. It is not, however, my intention to occupy much of your time, I am no poli tician—but if it should he in my power to assist you all, or one of you, nothing on earth would give me greater pleasure ; no personal sacrifice should *Auld in my way. I lived but a short time among you, doting which it was my ambition to walk on quietly, anxious to relieve distress wherever I was able ; I beg to at cowl the resolution. Mr. Recitann Satrret—Gentlemen, duty calls upon me to submit to you the next resolution. You must not ex pect from ow, one of the swinish crew, any very long speech. You must allow for defects. I will filet allude to what took pl we at the Town Hall. I then felt it my duty to come berward to plead the cause of the labouring men. I have lived with them, I have worked with them ; there is but one step between us ; if you remeeve that, tl4wn Igo to the very bottom of the labourers. I c enwider their cause my cause. First, I will speak of something of a local nature. My landlord reduced his rent in 1822, • the consequence was I immediately cnereased the number of my labourers. I then came forward, and said I don't want my rent reduced, but though I did not want my rent reduced, I asked for my tithes to be reduced.—(Great ep plautie.)..-Ilaving had my rent cut down sufficiently, I wasted the tithes to be cut down. I want also a reduc tion of taxation, not of two or three millions, but of twenty.. five millions. Well at that moment up got Mr. Sewell ; he looked rather warm to be sure, but that dieh'nt signify ; he said, " this is not a public meeting, so its irrelevant. You shall never have your tithes reduced one shilling. "• I wag quite mistaken, for I went away thinking he said I should have my tithes reduced I Was there, now I put it to you, any one word said by me to intimidate.—(No, no.) —Now then, was any thing said by Mr. Sewell to inti midate.--(Yee, yee.)—When we look back, we filed that the tithes were or'ginally given to the clergy in trust for the poor, mid the tithes were actually laid out fur their be• to fit till the time of Henry VIII. No sooner was this practice stopped, than insurrections broke out. Do the parsons apply the tithes to the relief of the poor now? But I say that either the parsons should take to the poor, or else they should give up wholly , and solely the tithes. We are all aware how the tithes act on the farmer. I will just give you an inotence thwt happened war me. A neighbour of mine bought, one or two years ago, some bone dust, he spreads this on some land where nothing would grow before, and he gets a very good crop of tur nips. Well, in comes the parson, and takes his tenth. Next year barley was sowed, and there was a good crop where the bone dust wee put, but none at all any where else. In routes the parson again, and takes his tenth of the barley, though lee did not go to a farthing'', expense in preoatiug the ground for the crop. Now, gentlemen, a le the for taxation. Look at the malt tax. a most °pyres. aive tax. Lo,k ut the candle tax ! Why I could make candles for threepence-halfpenny a pound, and we are ob• liged to pay sevenpenee fOr them, The Aristocracy pay no taxes scarcely. The middling classes pay nearly all. The taxes and tithes crush the poor man to earth, bringing the farmers lifer them. Nine out of every ten farmers are in a state of hankrupwy. One word about parochial pay. ments. In 176 V, at Brading, there were iseveopenny rates, they, however, gradually rose till they reached three n.. 0 and threepence. In 1801, they were up to ten shillings and ninepence, anti in 181)9, 10, 11, 12, and 19, the average amount of poors' rates of these five years wee 661. ss. Now in 1821., 25, 26, 27, and 29, the average amount has been 110/. Besides this, Church rates are doubled. I pay 751. more in t axes now than my father did, when the wheat was s Bing for 251. and 901, per load. I beg to propose the second resolution.—(Cheers.) Mr. Ettwa an Wuxi Ns Although my ft iendw from the platform are ca ling fur cold water, 1 hope I shell not throw cold water upon the proceedings of to-day, there is no: one !mere zealous in the cause of Reform titan myself. I appear before you now twin dire nec e ssity, if theme were here who ought te be here, I should not leave been brought befeere you, my proper place is in the tanks, but even though we leave lost our generale, I will labour for Re. form. Without Reform the tuiddling classes will he re• duced to posery and distress. My friend has spoken to yon in a way lam not capable of only knows where the shoe pinches who wears it. Ile less spoken to you of thee operation of tithes mid parochial ra s es —Le v in t e ll you how the taxes came; they were ties conampuneee of a weer w el by its to pot down liberty in other countries.

The festive hoard hoes often been spread here for those who have been trafficking in your rights and liberties. 1 think I hear many of them exclaiming, " What! go without feasts and ale cation dinners !" I say, yes, gentlemen, you must do without them you may, indeed, leave one or two more, but diet is all. But we' will have dinners here,--and this room shall resound to songs of liberty when a popular candidate shall be returned for Newport. The dreadful atom of vio lence which have been lately committee!, ought many years eiewe to have been foreseen. Thee poor leave long been die. regulate I. Not folly has there been a monopoly of borough interest, but un East India monopoly. Monopolies of all sorts are prejudicial to the iutereata of the country. I re gret our magistrates have tent take n dent noble view of the subject which they ought ; but they were alarmists, and :afraid to call a pefilic meeting. The petition which we propose will be more effective than a petition got up ire a hole and turner. 'Wheat could we expect but a.milk.and. water peeition from those who met to oppose the free-trade in beer?

Ido firmly aver that the very words my father told me thirty-five years ago,• are coming true. The Duke of Wellington once said, a country meeting is a farce, but he tnay now look round with a sorrowful coin. tenance and say, if it was a farce once, it is no farce now. Nut only are our eoantire meeting, but our towns, cur parishes, our village'', are coming forward to tell the Doke of Wellington he was in error. After having said such a thing as that, what could we expect from him ? Why that be would (hive us to despair and destruction, while I e and his friends would revel is extravagance and debau • e'levy. The !ear of filing fortune has been a gem, of nigh prise.. I twed not keep you soy longer, but beg, to oropme the third resolution. " Mr. Banat DAY, on his rising, was vehemently cheered; when silence was restored he confess I should have been much better pleased if you had dispensed with those fl Ittering marks of your approbation - ; fur how ever I might esteem them tinder other circumstance*, I fear they will but tend to increase that embarrassment which I should have felt under any circumstances. 1 will endeavour, however, to prevent your. being disappointed in the exi.ectatious which' you have formed, by sticking close to nay text. I cannot help alluding to a petition which has been lying at the Bugle, ,her huvinc been pte viously ushered tound this rotten borough, when certain parties, 'elicited by a most respectable attorney, were per goaded to sign --what? why a sort of fire-side petition, which was actually sent round a begging for signatures; and not only that, but after all the Wittle, and patrottage which was excited in its favour; yet,, after all,. when it lift the Bugle, I raw ie. and it hid then only 149 sub sabers, being fifty less than signed nor requisition. I can tell you, besides, that not above 40 out of the 149 signed this notable petition voluntarily and of their own free will. It is high time that Newport shook off the shuckles she has worn for so many years. This hele.and-rorner peti tion of the greet people was done in thir most humbugging way that could be.—(Great laughter, and cheers.) It wiet prepared some considerable time before the public meeting took place, but it was not with afterwards that the little humbugging infant was ushered into the world, and then merely to prevent our meeting, because they did not like a public meeting. Gentlemen, 1 like public caret big.. What bee duet taken plate in the Boors of Large and Canunions, with regard to the late preeeseion of vents to his Majesty, and in relation to which the Duke of 'Wel. lington, though out of office, showed the military deep tism he would have evinced ;lad he remained in power ; Did not Lord Brougham say, e. end, my Loa., what's more, your Lordships can't prevent them !" I sin sure, gentlemen, an occasion is only wanting to prove the good and loyal spirit which animates ya e ; such an occasion now presents itself, and if we conduct our proceedings this day, properly and orderly, without any disposition to anarchy and confusion, *air poor enemies will smart at being beaten. " England, with ell thy faults, I love thee still." But is it net heart-rending, where we should see countenances braining with joy, to hear proans, Lairs, and lamentations. To what is this attt ibu table ? To that system we are DOW Opposing. Gentle men, I need not go to Scotland, to Ireland, or to the Land's-end ; but let as take just A bird's-eye view in this little Garden of harden, where Providence kindly intended we should have an abundance of Wave* And fishes, and is lend flowing with milk and honey, but which the black slugs of political creation have entirely blasted and a rayed. Now I only want to twit you, whether we clan's live in a precious island ? Whether the elective freiteitieo of this island, which contains a population of front 31,00 n to 40,000 persons, should be vested in the hands of almut seventy individuals. We are nut equal in population to Birmingham or Leeds, yet, although these places send no member§ to Parliament, we actually send six. But of what use are they? I say that ea all public occasions such as this, we uught to have our represents ives among us, in order that they might be made acquainted with the feelings, the wishes and the wants of their constituents ; we ought not to be thriven to rupees cur grievances on a small slip of paper, on which it ts impossible to compress one hundredth part of our sentiments. 01 what be n efit are there six men to you or me, cut one of whom have 1 the pleasure of knowing! Any thing is better than the rotten borough system. With regard to the duration of Parliament, I am decidedly against septennial Parliaments; I think the public should be celled upon oftener to express , their opinion and make their choke. We will hive it triennial or annual; triennial I think best, becauev annual would he attended with too much expenee, and greet con fusion anti noise.
