And although the Member, from his local knowledge, might be ex peeled, and ought to be particularly careful of the interests of hie constituents, yet that he ought to be equally tender and careful of the interests, of the most remote corner of Ireland, or the furthest nook in Scotland. Gentlemen, I hope the dark and ominous clouds are now fast passing away, and that we are on the tiaWn of a brighter day and fairer pros pects. In the good intentions, honesty, and great ability of his Majesty's present Ministers, I ant per suaded the utmost confidence may be placed. THE MONTHLY REVIEW. This -ACT was published, Na XVII.

In the year I caught a most violent cold, which effected my breast and lungs so much, that I could scarcely speak to be understood, and remained so for the space of two Menthe ; at the same time accompanied with a great discharge from my lungs, which continued with unabated force tmtil the year 1809. When, after having recourse to slaw every advice, and to us purpose, being in con. 'elution with a gentleman of the faculty, I told him I thought there was no perfect cure for an Asthma, to which lie as.eated, by replying that he bad one himself, and his Duly relief was by taking frequently some medicines to keep his lungs open. About this time a neighbour came to see me, who said he had been equally as bad as I was them, Ind he Erin told me of Church's Cough Drops, being the medicine that made him as he was then in health, and Persuaded me to make trial of a small bottle. I sent fir one to . Shrewsbury, to M r . W oo d s , the printer, at which ' tune I had an inceuaut cough with little or no inter tnisaioit. In the nothing at breakfast I took two tea spoonfuls of the Drops in the last cup of tea; and no more wen derftWthan tree, I did not cough for the space of ten mi. " t ea after, which would have taken place twenty or thirty times before in that time. In short, it and a few bottles; mere perfectly cured me then, and I have never been Without it in my house for several years after, to use it %Pon any occa.ion after taking cold.

The distinguished favour with'which this Periodical has been received since its commencement, not only by the two Servioes to which it is more immediately ad dressed, but by the public in general, is not a little grati fying to the Proprietors, inasmuch as they consider it a proof that the execution of the work has met with iprwiaLappootsitarra.....Assossodly ovoly tees lover- of has country, in perusing the details of operations that led to the triumphs achieved by a Nelson and a Wel lington—in reading narratives of individual heroism and suffering—in participating, as it were, in the exploits of our gallant Soldiers and Sailors in every quarter of the globe—in short, in tracing the progress of those events which have conferred such lustre on the Bri tish arms—must feel a deep and anxious interest But in securing to their Journal the various advantages it has hi. therto possessed, the Proprietors have made considerable sacrifices by having repeatedly exceeded the proper limits, without, however, being able to do full justice to their numerous and valuable contributors. Under these cir cumstances they have determined to enlarge the plan and price of their Work to the same extent as those of the " New Monthly Magazine," so that, like that popular periodical, each year of the " United Service Journal" will in future consist of three volumes. By these means they trust they shall be enabled to render their Journal still more worthy of public favour, as they shall thus ob tain space for many additional valuable communications and be enabled to open new and important channels of in formation both at home and abroad.

T HE COURT JOURNAL EN LARGED, WITHOUT INCREASE of PRICE.

A disturbance took place a few days ago at Noydn, near Beauvais, in France, in consequence of the curate of that town having refused to grant the rights of sepulture to the body of a National Guard who had corn. mated suicide. There was, at one time, a considerable assembly, but it was at length dispersed by the Magistrates. The Brighton Guardian gives the sub j.,;ned copy of en anonymous circular, which has lately been sent to the principal farmers in the parish of Hurst monccux, and states the following as the circumstances which gave rise to it :—Some few weeks since, when the paupers and some of the farmers congregated at Gardener street, they called on the worthy rector, the Rev. R. HARE, requesting him to lower his tithes. Instead of meeting them himself, he sent his curate, the Rev. Mr. NIATIIEWS, out to them. He told them that it was ilia possible to relieve them (the paupers), the farmers must do it. " Why," said he, "did their w►ves and daughters wear silk gowns ? and why did they not walk to church, instead of riding in a chaise ?" The Rev. Rector did at last promise a reduction of tithes; but instead of which, in more than one instance, he has demanded ten per cent. more than he received last year. Of course the parties refuse to pay. • (cincuLaa.) " Whereas it has been represented to the wives and daughters of several of the farmer* of Hurstmonceux and its vicinity, that their reverend and esteemed curate deems it very inconsistent for them to wear silk dresses, it was unanimously resolved by them, that a meeting be imme• diately called to be holden et the Hurstmonceux Arms Inn, on the 23d day of the month, to consider the expediency and propriety of converting the cast-off black silk dresses of the aforesaid females into a gown for the said popular wtrate• And further, it was resolved humbly and respect fully to beg the reverend divine to honour the meeting by his presence, that the limper dimensions may be taken, All it would be a source of mortification to his female pa rishioners should the gown not fit. You are particularly requested to walk, as a horse and gig are considered very extravagant a ppendages to a farmer's establi,binent. By so doing yen will oblige your humble servant, • Oatavio.u. ' The circular, it appears, bas caused much merriment, in 'the neighbourhood. Mr. RATIIBONE, in moving the first resolution. spoke as follows :—The resolution I have to pro pose fortunately requires little talent from me as its advocate. I have no doubt it will agree with the unanimous feeling of the meeting. I may here be allowed, as one of a small band of Reformers, who have had much reproach to encounter, to rejoice in the , thange of public opinion; rejoice that the' pre sent Ministers would only undertake to accept office upon the understanding that they were to carry for ward unsparing retrenchment, moderate Reform, and preserve peace. Of the necessity of Reform, all were now convinced. Mr. Pitt had said, that as the House of Commons was constituted, no honest man could be Minister. In the present painful circum stances of the country we all feel the necessity of having honest Ministers, and the paramount import. ance of enabling those Ministers to retain their places. They (the Ministers) are engaged in an arduous struggle for the redemption of the country. They had called upon the country to give them their support, and said they should require it all; it is, therefore, fellow townsmen, our duty to give them our hearty support and co-operation. That our electors require improvement, the late disgraceful scenes fully demonstrate; and I have been the more impressed with it from an anecdote I have just heard ; and I am sure my fellow-townsmen will participate in the pain I felt in hearing it, and reprobation of diabolical sentiments so much at variance with the better feeling of the majority of my fellow-towns men. A canvasser at the late election was at one of the clubs, or an assemblage of freemen, asked to drink success to the Rocket, with which he natu rally complied. He then asked an explanation. I feel horror in saying the reply was, " if the fatal ac cident had not occurred from the locomotive engine called the Rocket, we should not have had this election." Fellow -townsmen, are such persons fit depositaries of the sacred rights and duties of elec tors ; and is it not high time that, by addition of the respectable meeting now assembled, the body should be improved ? In conclusion, I may venture to ex press the hope, that unanimity and ardour will gi re effect to the proceedings of this day. Mr. U. 1-101.3tEs seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. A. HODGSON proposed the next resolution as follows :—At the present moment I think we are called upon to come forward to strengthen the hands of administration in the great and important object to which they stand pledged by their declarations. I congratulate this meeting, and the country at large, that the time is at length arrived when the expres sion of temperate sentiments on the subject of Re form, will meet a responsive feeling in the Legisla ture. On the facts stated in my resolution, it is Orntitceasary to 'That there are many Mem bers in the House of Commons, with few or po con stituents to represent, and large and opulent towns with no members to represent them. That while it is annually entered in the Journals of the House of Commons, that it is a high infringement on the liberties and privileges of the House for any Lord of Parliament, or Lord-Lieutenant of the county, to concern themselves with elections of Members of the Commons House of Parliament, a large number of the Members of the Lower House are actually returned by particular Peers—that sinister influence is systematically used by the Ministry to bring into the House those who are bound to support their measures, however hostile to the interests of the country, and however adverse to the rights and pri vileges of the people. These things are so well known, that it is unnecessary to illustrate them by particular facts, but an exemplification of their ge neral notoriety was exhibited the other evening, in the House of Lords, by the Duke of Newcastle, when this Noble Duke had the hardihood to cam plain that he had been animadverted upon for asking, with reference to the boroughs under his controul, whether he might not do what be would with his own—that is, whether he might not, like the Mar quis of Exeter, force his own creatures on those elee tore to whom the Constitution gives the right to choose their owl representatives, and on whom it imposes the duty of choosing those who will best represent them. I will pass lightly over the awfully demoralizing effects of the present mode of elec tion, of which we had so recent, so melancholy, and so disgraceful an instance, in this town—a system disgraceful, not simply to a Christian and ' civilized, but to any heathen and . savage land, and which is calculated to bring down a judgment on au assembly collected by such means. I will pass lightly over this subject, not because I think lightly of it, but because I will not forestall the substance of resolu tions which will follow; and I refer to it only to remind you, that. on the present system the very entrance into Parliament is through a corrupted channel, and that a fair representation of the people will never be secured by such means. There are, however, those who still argue, that after all, the House of Commons is, practically speaking, all we could desire. Now, if 1 understand rightly what the House of Communs ought to be, according to the principles of the Constitution, it is this :—An assembly freely elected, between whom and the mass of the people there is the closest union and most perfect sympathy. This is the definition of Mr. Pitt when he was a reformer, and 1 would As, whether in point of fact and experience our House of Commons corresponds with this description ? It• it do, why is it that that the most salutary measures which the country deliberately desires, are so often brought forward year after year, with every advan tage which reason, and talent, and eloquence can impart, and yet cannot be carred till they become what is termed. government questions ? I do not ask why they du not become law, foe that requites the concurrence of the other hi-undies of the legis lature, but I ask why they do not pass that louse which professes nut indeed to be a mirror to reflect all your hasty wishes and opinions, but to represent your mature and deliberate sentiments and eon vie tions. 'Why was it that those salutary reforms in criminal jurisprudence that Sir Robert Peel has happily effected, were so long resisted when brought forward by Sir Samuel ? Was it that they had in that enlightened statesman, to whom we owe their introduction, an advocate less zealous, less able, less eloquent than the Home Secretary, to whom we are indebted fur their completion ? or c a li i‘ n l e i d nis to ter oi; f o t s h e e °l"' was it not rather that Sir Samuel Romiily was nut that the Ministry were was under the initt e c i i n ic ' e tt o )a f t the ll Moister ll()e° f a C nd on t i l l t ol the people. Wtry is it that at the present moment, when the injurious effect of monopolies is generally admitted, and when we are anxiously looking round for adequate vents for the inexhaustible productions of our manufacturing industry, why is it that we are still debarred from unrestricted gcornmerve with the fair and fertile countrine of the East ? Why, but because the mercantiletlasses are not sufficiently represented in the House of Commons, and because the Minister has to conciliate the votes of the members of various families throughout the kingdom into which East India influence has spread its widely •extendid ramifications ? Why is it, that upon all great measures like the corn laws, the question is not what is best for the gen . eral good, or how best to arbitrate between the contending claims of cons flicting interests, so that Wit may give up some thing to each other, and that all may concede what ever is necessary for, the whole; but the question is rather, how much the Minister can afford to give, without diminishing his majorities, and hew little will satisfy the importunity of the country. But, Sir, there are some, who, admitting that there is much truth in these observations, say the time for Reform is not yet come. When does the right time ever come for an unwelcome Reform ? This argu ment of its not being the right time, is the objection with which this subject has been , met through all the vicissitudes of events, and ill theo varying aspect of affairs fur the last century. in,thegreseet times every thing should be done to conciliate the various classes of society, and to bring them into closer union and better humour with each other. A strangeness, a coldness, a distance is creeping in be tween them ; and while the lower classes are view ing with unwarrantable distrust and unreasonable jealousy the privileges of those above them, the ails. tocracy have yet to learn a deeper interest in the fortunes and a kindlier sympathy with the feelings of those who, in the order of Providence and the in. citations of society, are placed below them. In these times the people should not only be fairly re presented, but should know and feel that they are so, and that there is a community of interest and sym pathy of feeling between them and the 1-louse of Commons. This will be found the most effectual means of disarming demagogues of their power, and of counteracting the dangerous and seditious efforts of wicked and designing men. I advocate Reform because I wish to transmit that Constitution, with all its conservative and renovetng principles, to my children and my children's children, and because I wish to preserve it not simply from the violence of an infuriated populace , who might, in a moment of phrenzy, rase it to the ground, as they ruse those tnanufactories to whose machinery they owe their support, but because I would preserve it also from the ravages of time and from that slow decay which, if unchecked and unrestricted, would gradually re duce it to die mouldering condition of those cede siasticul edifices,which add indeed to the picturesque beauty of our country, but whose venerable ruins are now the only vestiges of their primeval grandeur. Mr. LeaTuost, in supporting the second resolu tion, could not avoid recording his disapprobation of die disgraceful proceedings of the late election, which had been attended with such flagrant acts of corruption as to produce the most severe reflections on those who had been the cause of them. These, animadversions had not only proceeded from persons on the spot, but had resounded from every corner of the kingdom, and would no doubt do so from distant countries also. To prevent a repetition of such ex travagance and corruption was one of the main ob jects of the meeting now convened, and none ap deared more desirable than to extend the franchise to that class of inhabitants, the rate payers, who are so well entitled to have a voice in the representation of the Borough. Mr. o..Rontsisost, as one of the committee, had been desirous to introduce the third retnekteittit- • Mr. R. Enwatans seconded the motion of Mr. Robinson. Ms. THEAKSTONT moved the fourth resolution. Time time has arrived when the middling classes should come forward and strengthen the hands of Government in the patriotic intention of reforming the representative system. If the question is asked whence the anguish and misery of the country? I answer in the words of my Lord Grey, u From a long course of mal-administration and abuse." This mal-administration, this abuse, first originated in cor rupt majorities of corrupt Parliaments; hence the unnecessary wars, the lavish expenditure, the pro fuse sinecures end pensions ; hence that most fatal of all measures the substitution of paper for gold; hence the prostitution of public virtue, the cupidity arid selti.hness of public men, and the unparalleled condition of this once happy country. I believe no thing can save the country but Parliamentary Re im m. But when I say this, I feel it my ditty to elution this meeting from the adoption of an opinion which is very prevalent, that Reform will prove a panacea for all our distress ; it is in vain to hope t hk, if faith with the public creditor is to be kept, and if other Parliamentary engagements are to be inviolate. We must I fear, with substantial Re form, be subject to alternations of suffering and tress. Refotin will, however, do much, it will re store public virtue, timid destroy the caterpillars of the State ; it will shear the oligarchy--that modern Sampson—of its strength; it will create is new flame of patriotic principle, which will infuse life and vi gour into our present languishing condition. 1 now, secondly, proceed to enforce the adoption of my re solution; it comprises three prominent facts; lit, a large population ; 2d, a paucity of electors; Zid, that the majority of them are operatives. I perceive the assertions gain your assent, need I then dilate upon the anomaly of a large population having no voice in the choice of representatives? Need I di late upon the absurdity of this important privilege being in the hands of a few, and those chiefly opera tives ? Shull I allude to the way in which they are usually influencial to vote ? I um sure your own feelings will supply more strongly the application than I can enforce it. One observation I may be permitted to submit, (and I do it hypothetically and without a personal reference) how can a constituency expect a Member to serve them faithfully who pays clearly for his election ? Cat he look down upon them without feelings of inenble disgust and +Arlon twice ? Is it not notorious that the door of Par !lament opens the road to employment, to plaice, and power, amid patronage; and this once ()blunted, the interests and well-being of the constituency is free (pettily neglected ? Mr. jolts; Citoneen, jun., rose to second the pro position of Mr. Theakstone. Mr. H. Ilotrll, in moving the fifth resolution, ..aid he came there to claim admission into the ranks of a hotly of men, long knov(n und respected for heir local classifications, and who, he trusted, would soon he admitted to a participation in those political lights from which they had been too long debarred. Parliament was, or ought to be, the guardian of their liberties; they did right, therefore, to ap peal to Pailiument fur a redress of their gritty.. mice. If, out of respect to a high quarter, it was desirable to'uddress the throne, be it so, Let Par nutrient address their Sovereign. The people of Liverpool would be vonitent; they could have no objection to appeal from the arbitrary rule of King Charles 11,, to the acknowledged patriotism of - ham IV. Mr. Taos. TUORNI:IX succeeded Mr. Booth.— The admirable resolution now before the meeting was penned by Mr. Henry Booth, and had been most ably supported by him. For his own part, nothing that had occurred at the late election, when there was an expenditure of 100,0001., chiefly paid for votes, at from 51. to 504 each; nothing that had occurred at former elections, which, when contested, were always attended with bribery; nothing that , iceurred at our yearly election for Mayor, when bri bery always prevails, and at one of which elections Before the motion was adopted by the meeting, Mr. JOHN TAYLOR requested to say a few wordx upon it. The Chairman having replied, that any person present was perfectly at liberty to make any observations which were in unison with the subject before them, Mr. TAYLOR spoke us follows: Sir, as 1 conceive that the objects of this meeting would be imperfectly attained if we refrained from expressing our opinions on a mo-t important point in the question of Reform—that of vote by ballot, I will not allow myself to be deterred, by personal considerations, from stating my owe sentiments on that subject, nor from giving the rate-payers of Liverpool the opportunity of (Art s•ing theirs. The science of legislation, long es it has occupied the attention of men, must still be considered us de fective ; happily, we may also Consider it as progres sively improving. Of all the improvements which it has recently experienced, none has had so benefi cial an effeet as the adoption of voting by ballot in choosing the representatives of the people. To voting by ballot Europe owes that prospect of ame lioration which it now et joys. It was not the in surrection of the citizens of Paris, praiseworthy as it was, which gave liberty to France ; it was the vote by ballot which, by Its safe operation, insured the return of an honest independent majority to the ~Choirsibeir-444keptties ;' *aid which - honesz,,,majority those who were conspiring the establishment of despotism durst not fare. In whatever degree the contemplated Reform be sought or granted, the vote by ballot is equally necessary. As to the gyres's l question of effective Reform, its promotion or re tardment does not lie in the votes of this meeting; the force of circumstances ensures it, and the united voice of the British people will compel it. I shall propose the addition of the following resolution to those already proposed and carried :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the adoption of the mode of voting by ballot is essential to the useful operation of any change, whatever may be its de gree, in the representative system of the British empire." Mr. MATH En said, I have been applied to by Mr. Taylor to second the resolution on the vote by bal lot, which I do with pleasure, because it is in per fect accordance with my own' sentiments. Of all the subjects connected with Parliamentary Reform I consider this the most important. If I must have only one conversion, give me the vo'e by ballot, and if necessary, leave to the boroughmongers the no. ruination of their Members. If with the ballot the House of Commons be not fairly chosen, they will, at least be freely chosen. Mr. RaTnnotik: declared himself a decided advo cate for voting by ballot--(Cheers)=•-but would suggest the inexpediency of pressing the resolution at th© present moment. lie proposed, therefore, that the original resolutions should first be passed, and a petition founded upon them, and if a motion were afterwards made for voting► by ballot, he should hold up his hand in favour of it. Mr. rtur.ToN also eulogized the system of ballot but %vas desirous that the first propositions hhotilti previously be disposed of. Mr. RUSHTON said there was no public assembly in which the committees were not chosen by ballot, scarcely a club existed in England to which • lie members were not admitted by kallot. It governed the proceedings with all committees in that den of monopoly, the India Cotnpany ; and by ballot W4lll every Committee of the. house of Commons elected. lie would ask those timid gentlemen who are op posed to entertaining the question if they could ob tain access to their places of 'public resort . , if they were able to gain admission to the Rotunda without the assistatice of ballot ; whether it had not a con. siderable share in the management of the Wellington• rooms, the Royal Institution, and every one of your Public institutions ? Why should it not, then, ho combined with those institutions a hich were infinitely more essential than any local institutions, and opon which the strength, the dignity, and the true source of power, the honour of the country, materially de pended,—(Cheers.) Mr. Taylor had told them, with much truth, that if the vote by ball o t were to be applied, the matter of election, except in theory, becomes comparatively unimportant"-by it a ll eti tainty would be taken from the practice of bribery, and the inducement to offer a bribe would be re moved. It was quite evident that unless (be te was a certainty of receiving a vote in return, no candi date would have the imprudence to pay sums of mo ne y to men Who might afterwards vote it t favour of his opponent. Be could never conceive that a practice sanctioned by the adoption of coot panic-, such as are established in this town, can be deemed unmanly or un English. lle was persuaded I. the Government looked anxiously to the expre,hion of the will of the people. Mr. JOHN CLARKIi sMid , tIOW -was the to satisfy every body, without they knew the wishei of every body, Their only plan was to Ow the senile of rm etings in every part of the country and to frame a bill on the majority.
