With respect to the re ust sistance which was intended to be offered to the tlaitn which:the Government was impowered to make under his Bill, Noble Lords might be assured that the Govern oient would exert all the powers giren th , m by this Bid, and ask for others if it were nccessiry to maintain 'he due authority of the law With respect -I) the recovery of costs, the Crown never rid or received he costs, so that the Bill on that point only followed the analogy of the common law.

Hamlet —There's Ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark, but he;s au arrant k►►ave. Horatio—These are but wild and ,vhirling words, my Lord. Hamlet—l am sorry they offend you—heartily; yes, faith, heartily. Horatio—There's no offence, my Lord. Hamlet Yes,hy St. Patrick, but there is, Horatio, and much °fence too." We had almost forgot to mention one part of the procession which attracted particular attention : we allude to about a hundred carters mounted on their horses. i.•ey and his able colleagues, for their unexampled, ,atriotic exertions, in favour of the people's fa vourite B 11 of Reform.—(Cheers, and Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, Earl Grey and his colleagues have re fired from office according to their pledge given to the people. They, at the first, declared that they could stand or fall with the Bill; and, at the last, when they found that they could not, in conse quence of an unprincipled and place-hunting fac ion, in the House of Lords, carry the measure of Reform through, without mutilation, they, like nigh-minded, hottoutable gentlemen, as they were, tendered their resignation to his Majesty, and the country applauded them for their disinterestedness and sincerity in so doing.—(Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, who could succeed such men as Earl Grey and Lord Brougham in office ? He must, I should think, be a bold Tory indeed who will seize the helm of the State, at a crisis like this, after such men have quitted it !—(Cheers.) Will the country be satisfied with the Duke of Wellington and the men he may get to act with him ? Can they hope for any satisfactory measure of Reform from men who have declared themselves enemies to all Re form, and who can see nothing but perfection in the present abominably rotten state of our representa tion ? Were such men to make the most ample promises, could the people, or can the people believe them ?—(No, no, no.) We must have tried men, and true in the councils of our King :—and, as it is impossible he can find better than Earl Grey and his colleagues, I trust in God, his Majesty will have the good sense to spurn from him those harpies, who would advise to the contrary; and call them back again to his Cabinet.—(lmmense cheers.) I beg to second the motion of Sir John Forbes. the almost unanimous feelings of the people so .lecidedly and so enthusiastically displayed; and no ute present at this most numerous and respectable , neeting will say that that enthusiasm has in the Last abated.--;-(Cheers.) No ; it has increased, ind will daily continue to do so until the just de nand, of the people are granted—as granted they 'nest, and that speedily, to save the country from marchy and confusion.—(Cheers.) I have, there fore, much pleasure in seconding the motion of my friend Mr. Stronach, more especially that part of it which relates to his Majesty's late Ministers— would that I could with confidence say his present Ministers—whose patriotic conduct has fully justi fied their previous pledges.—(Great cheering.) Mr. ALLARDYCE—GentIemen, what Minister is there that dare come into power, at the present crisis, and fly in the face of the people of Great Britain, agitated as that people is, by the failure of their most sanguine hopes, when on the very eve of being realized? If the Duke of Wellington--(Groans and hisses) —take the reins of Government, does he imagine the people will receive at his hands a Bill, against which he has entered his loudest protest ? No; the only man that can content the nation is the Noble Earl, who so consistently brought the mea sure almost to completion, and who deserves, along with his coadjutors, to have all the merit of carrying it into a law.—(Great cheering.) I have much pleasure in proposing the sixth resolution. Mr. L. LUSISDEN, of Auchindoir, in seconding the resolution, observed, that to Lord Ebrington, and the patriotic band which supported him, the country owed much; and he, therefore, very cordially se conded any motion, the object of which was to con vey to them the thanks of the community for their public spirited conduct. Mr. Mout, of Park, was very glad to propose that publicity should be given to the business of the meeting, as it would prove to their opponents that there was no reaction in this part of the country at least. No cabals of faction could ever succeed against the united wish of the people. Mr. A. FORBES—Gentlemen, the news of this day are truly cheering, and I pray they may be con firmed ; under any event we must be true to our selves, firm and orderly ; we are resolved for our cause, and fear not the trickery of the boroughmon gers in either House. Too much cannot be said in favour of the majority of the Commons, nor in praise of those Noble Lords, who have stood and will stand by Reform.—(Loud cheers.) Sir M. BRUCE here stated, that the business of the meeting had concluded, and thanked the meet ing for their prompt attendance, and highly credit able and orderly conduct—a conduct which certainly reflected not a little credit upon themselves—the county and city to which they belonged, and the cause which they had t►tet to support. Sir Michael Bruce having then left the chair, it was taken by Sir John Forbes, Bart., upon which, Mr. KILGOUR, of Woodside, came forward and addressed the meeting as follows : —Gentlemen, Sir John Forbes having now taken the chair, I beg leave to move a resolution, which I am convinced will be most enthusiastically welcomed by this meeting—it is a vote of thanks to our honourable and patriotic Chairman, for the able manner in which he has con ducted the business of this meeting, and for the uni form support which he has constantly given to the good cause of Reform. Gentlemen, in concluding the business of the day, I am sure, when I propose, that this meeting of stanch Reformers do honour to our worthy Chairman in three cheers, I shall not want a seconder. The above motion having been seconded by Baillie Milne, amid great acclamation, the assembled multitude gave three times threecheers for the King, the same for Earl Grey and the Re form Bill, and three cheers for their excellent Chair man, and separated, we are proud to say, without the shadow of a disturbance. , I , Liversity in this or any other country, having 1,000 acres .1 the best land and upward of 40,0001. a-year. But having •nly a constituency of 96, and haring at its elections, i e would not say the last, or the one before, but at former nes, having exhibited the grossest perjury that had ever fisgriceJ any election, he could ma believe, till he read it n the Reform Bill, that any man could propose that it should have another Member, especially when ita cunstitu •ncy was only to be extended about 100, and there were .o many other places in Ireland that had a better claim. Mr. H. GRATTAN spoke to the same effect. The Bill, after a few observations, plssed through Corn tnittert, and was ordered to be read a third time 0-morrow. The petitions were then ordered to be printed. C donel CAVENDISH presented a petition from Derby, raying the House to stop the supplies till the Reform Bill was passed into a law. Mr. STRUTT was instructed to support the prayer of the petition, which he did with pleasure. Mr. HEY WOOD rose to present a great number of petitions from Lancashire to the same effect. Though the cause which had given rise to them had been ru mored, still he was desired to present the petitions, that there might be no mistake as to the sentiments of the people of that county. The Hon. Member then pre sented petitions from Manchester, Warrington, Roch dale, Oldham, Royton, Heywood, Todmorden, and Ware, in Herefordshire, which were ordered to be printed. Captain GORDON presented petitions from the parish of St. Paul Essex, tram Yalding, Tynemouth, Shaftes bury, Cropper-street, Manchester, Brighton, and ten other places, against the new system of education in Ireland. Mr. H. ROSS presented two petitions from Montrose, and one from Dundee in favour of Reform, and praying the House to refuse granting supplies till the Reform Bill became the law of the land. The Hon. Member presented a petition from Arbroath in favour of the Factories Bill. Lord CAVENDISH presented three petitions from Helper, Guildford, and another place, all in the county of Derby, in favour of the Reform Bill, and praying the House to withhold the supplies until it be passed. Also a petition (rote.. Derby and its vicinity in favour of the Fee. tories' Labour Bill. Lord KING presented a petition from Queen's County tg.sinst the Tithe System. The petition stated, that the petitioners considered it extremely hard that they should hive to pay to assist them, which had been productive of , he greatest misery and depredation. Lord WYNFORD said it was not true, as the petition alleged that any Ecclesiastical Court, either in England or in Ireland, bad jurisdiction over a Civil Court. After a few observations from several Noble Lords, the petition was ordered to be laid on the tab!e. F ANCY FAIR, for the CHARING ' CROSS HOSPITAL. UNDER THE PATRONAGE AND SUPPORT OF HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY AND THE PRINCIPAL. NOBILITY. The meeting, which was originally intended as a demonstration, in case of accidents, of the power and determination of a united people, was converted by the glorious news of the morning into a triumph. It is quite impossible for any one who was not pre sent to form a conception of the unmingled rejoicing which characterized the scene.

The Ladies beg to request those friends of the Institu• tion who have not yet received their Cards of invitation to communicate the same to the Secretary, at the Com mittee-Room, 27, Villiers-street; and those Vi.itors de sirous of Cards, whom the Ladies Manavers have not the honour of personally knowing, will oblige them by for warding their cards of address with their application. JOHN ROBERTSON, Hon. Sec. (LEFT SITTING.) When the procession bad reached the hustings, which we observed were occupied by many of the most respectable and leading families of both county and city, and the various trades and others had taken their places, the bands of music which were stationed in front, played " God save the King"— the whole multitude uncovered. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, MAY 22. (Concluded from our Second Edition of last night.) REFORM BILL. •REFORM MEETING ON THE BROAD- HILL OF THE LINKS. Earl GREY mom! the Order of the Div—That the whole House resolve itself into a Committee ma the Reform Bill. (Ahridged from the Aberdeen Chronicle of Saturday.) Yesterday, agreeable to the Resolutions of their respective Committees, the great Reform Meeting of the inhabitants of this City and County was held on the Broadhill of the Links, and presented the most splendid and imposing spectacle we ever remember to have witnessed. Early in the morning, the Union Flag was hoisted on the summit of the Broadhill, where it continued flying during the whole day—and the vessels in the harbour in a line of nearly a mile were splendidly decorated with their various ensigns and colours. The different trades began to muster in Union-street, about half-past one o'clock, and drew up, with the utmost regularity, in the order of procession previously arranged. They carried some hundreds of appropriate banners and insignia, and were arrayed many of them in showy, all of them in becoming dresses. About half-past two, they moved, accompanied by several bands of music, in the following order:— Founders, blacksmiths, and engineers, bleachers, weavers, paper-makers, flax-dressers, thread-lappers, sawyers, white-fishers, rope-makers, tanners, tobacco spinners, residenters at Gdeomiton, curriers, ship wrights, rope-makers, &c. The Seven Incorporated Junior Trades marched to the Links in the rear of the Procession. Principal JACK, in moving that Sir Michael Bruce do take the chair, spoke as follows— The present meeting was called under feelings of disappointment and alarm. Our Sovereign seemed for a moment to have forgotten what was due to himself and to his people! There is but one man in the nation who has had the baldness to say " That no Reform was wanted," and we had reason to fear that he was the person who would become his Majesty's principal adviser ! In such circum stances, it became the duty of every one in whose heart dwelt the principle of Christian benevolence, love of his fellow -creatures, or even self-love, to stand firm to the cause of freedom and of justice. The enemies of Reform would render abuses per petual, and forbid improvement. They are the true enemies of the constitution, who refuse to the people a just representation. By the accounts of to-day, we have reason to think that his Majesty has re called to his councils the friends of the people; and now, in place of deprecating the evils that we feared, we have the pleasure to congratulate our King, our country, and each other, on the happy prospect of peace, order, justice, and freedom, in our land ! I beg leave to propose, that Sir Michael Bruce, Bart. do take the Chair—a gentleman who has openly and uniformly professed the noble principles of freedom and Reform.—(Loud cheers.) Sir MICHAEL BRUCE, having amid loud applause taken the Chair, proposed that Mr. John Angus, Advocate, should be Secretary to the meeting. The Earl of CARNARVON rose to oppote the fran chise beiug given to the Tower Hamlets, mud he could w:sh to persuade their Lordships that the Hou►e ought not to give its assent to a continu3uce of the uordu in the Bill. Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the Vicar, Churchwardens, and Inhabitants of Abergavenny, in favour of Reform, and praying the House to repose confidence in the present Ministers, and to address his Majesty, to re quest the dismissal of all evil councillors. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Birming• ham, agreed to at a meeting of upwards of 100,000 per sons, but signed only by the Chairman. It insisted on the right of every British subject to carry arms, and prayed the House not to grant any supplies until the Reform Bill be passed. Mr. HUME supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. O'CONNELL then presented two similar peti tions from the Kiddertninster and Bristol Political unions, both of which strongly urged a stoppage of the supplies until the Reform Bill be passed—a measure which should have his harry coniturrence, it it were not soon passed into a law. The lion. Member then pre sented a petition from Glasgow in favor of the grant to llaynooth College, signed by Sir Daniel Sandford, and many other respectable persons. Mr. HUME supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from two parishes in Limerick relative to the vestry assessments, and took that opportunity of aking if the Bill for the re gulation of Sxcial Juries had been abandoned? Mr. STANLEY said the Bill had gone up to the other House, and he was not aware of any intention to abandon it. As soon as the state of public business permitted the Bill would no doubt be proceeded with. Mr. O'CONNELL thought it ought to have passed before now. On reaching the Royal Hotel, they were beaded by the Reform Committees, and a number of gen tlemen who wished to testify their zeal in the good cause, by taking part in the procession. Besides those we have mentioned, there were deputa'ions from Fintray Inverury, Kilgore, Munymusk, &c. and many of the tenantry of the principal estates in this neighbourhood. The whole assemblage, when thus marshalled, presented a most striking appear ance. One unbroken moving mass extended from the farther end of Union-street West to Castle street. The windows were filled with ladies. Whilst the whole of this spacious street was thus completely blocked up, several thousands were scat tered through the other streets along which the pro cession was expected to pass, and many, more anxious to hear the speeches than behold the spec tacle, had pre-occupied the space on the hills and around the hustings in the Links. Altogether, we are canvinced we do not over-estimate the number present, when we state that it was from thirty to forty thousand. This calculation we give on the authority of several military gentlemen who were on the ground. The route of procession was from Union-street West, along Union street to the Royal Hotel, where the several bands played " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled,"—" Blue Bonnets over the Border," and other national airs, while the Members of the Reform Committee took their places in the procession, which they did amidst loud cheers. It then moved along Union-street Castle-street— and when passing the head quarters of our self-con stituted Tory Magistracy, showed evident marks of indignation and contempt by groans and hisses. — It then proceed along King-street—Frederick street—and Constitution -street, to the Links. The scene, which appeared to us most im posing, was that which the Links presented as the rear of the procession entered it. The Broadhill covered with spectators, the trades, &e. in their winding line of march, some of them surrounding the hustings, others ascending the bill, their ban ners streaming in the wind, the cheers of the en. thusiastic assemblage, and the frequent discharge of tweet:al pieces of ordnance—the various bands of music—and the " pibroch shrill," all contributed to increase the e ff ect . W e cou l d not at this time avoid reflecting with how different feelings and in tentions the same multitude might have assembled, had their rights been sacrificed to their enemies and deceivers. Mr. ANGUS then read the requisition. Sir MICHAEL BRUCE.—Brother Reformers, the crisis to which the country has been brought is indeed an awful one; but I look to your firmness and independency, to extricate us from the danger which threatens us. I know with what zeal our ancestors, true Scotchmen, achieved for themselves religious freedom; and I hope that in a very short time, and by constitutional means—(cheers)—the great measure which we have all so much at heart will be consummated. It was but yesterday that we thought a blight had fallen on the Bill, but to• day the cloud has passed away, and the sun has shone on our hopes brighter than before.—(Cheers.) Yesterday, we thought the Bill was in jeopardy, for a party hostile to its provisions had apparently triumphed over all our wishes; but we learn to-day that that triumph has fallen from their hands— (cheers)—and that the firm, liberal, and constitu tional ministry has been restored to the cabinet from which they had been but a moment removed.— (Tremendous cheering.) It is time this great ques tion were settled. Trade is in a languishing con dition ; but, under our now brighter prospects, I am confident that there will be a speedy and final settlement of the measure. I now call on an old and stanch Reformer, and I am sure you will be happy to hear once more his voice among you — General Hay. Mr. CALLAGHAN presented a petition from Cork, complaining that notwithstanding the passing of the Re lief Bill Catholics were still excluded from the corporate offices. _ Mr. O'CONNELL supported the prayer of the petition, and said that it limited a number of persons, as the cor poration of Cork had the disposal of the immense sum of 70,0001. annually,.—a sum large enough to defray the ex penses of the Government of the United States. Mr. 11. GRATTAN said the same practice prevailed in the corporation of Dublin, and he trusted the attention of the Law Officers of the Crown would be directed to it. Mr. CALLAGHAN next presented two petitions from Cork, for an alteration in the duties on coals and soap. Sir R. FERGUSON presented a petition from Had dington, in favour of Reform. Sir A. JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the presbytery of Hamilton, against the new System of Edu cation in Ireland. The trades returned from the meeting in nearly the same order of procession in which they had gone down, headed by their respective bands; and on ar riving at the Reform Committee Rooms, in the Royal Hotel, they gave three hearty cheers. Each division then separated in the most orderly and peaceable manner And up to the moment of going to press, we are happy to announce, that not a single case of riot, or approach to disturbance, has occurred in the city—verily upholding its ancient motto of " Bun Accord," Capt. GORDON supported the petition. Mr. DIXON would take that opportunity of stating that from his own knowledge the great majority of the people in the West of Scotland were in favour of the Go vernment plan of Education. Mr. CANIPPELL concurred wi h the Hon. Member, he could not but think that the clergy of the Church of Scotland were acting under a delusion, when they pe titioned against this system. Mr. DUNDAS would contradict the statement of the two last speakers. He believed a great majority of the people belonging to the Church in Scotland were against the system. The clergy did not deserve the odium cast upon them by the Hon. and Learned Member. He (llr- Dundas) knew the Presbytery of Scotland had not taken up the question till after mature deliberation. A Commit tee h b - en appointed, one of the Members of which was Dr. Chalmers the most liberal-minded man in Scotland yet he bad refuted that they could not support that system. Mr. HUI%IE said the Honourable Member for Edin burgh had alluded to a public document and a public character in the person of Doctor Chalmers. He regretted that that wan had put his name to such a document, for it tended materially to hurt the character he had so well deserved up to this period of liberality. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. IM PE RIA L PA RLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. GILLON presented a petition from the Commis sioners of Police in Edinburgh against the Edinburgh Police Bill.—Referred to the Committee. Mr. DUNDAS brought up the report of the Committee, with amendment', on the Insurance Company of Scot land Bill. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Uni formity of Process Bill, the Insolvent Debtors' Court (Ireland) Bill, and a great variety of Private ?idle. The Conunis , .ioners were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of RICHMOND, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. At twenty-five minutes past five o'clock the Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Woolsack. The following are the principal mottoes and de vices exhibited on the occasion. And we may re mark, that at no previous time have we seen the flags and banners so tastefully got up. The Patriots Russell, Grey, and Brougham—A Bishop should be blameless—Scotland do your duty, shoulder to shoulder and forward—Reform or Ruin: Britons stand firm, ready aye ready—From Buckingham, Bishops, and Rotten Burghs, good Lord deliver us—Grey resigns, Britain weeps, and Europe mourns—No German Despotism—Scotland and Liberty —Earl Grey and the Ministry—De ceived, but not defeated,--Let Kings beware—Burgh Reform—Put not your trust in Princes—May Union of effort be crowned with . success—We are in the right, and must triumph—Free Press—Aber deen Chronicle, the stanch Friend of Reform— Nail our Flag to the Mast, and bravely defend our Rights—The Triumph of the People — A bundle of rods bound together, sur mounted by a Battle Axe, with the in scription, " We are Fn m"•—St. Andrew's Cross, wi t h th e i nscr i pt i on , " A t h oroug h repair to the Constitution, but no patching." A death's head and cross bones in the centre, with the motto, "Liberty or Death " above, and Reform or no Taxes" below. "The Advocate of the People, Aberdeen Chronicle," on one side, and on the other, " The Tool of the Rotten System, Aberdeen Observer." A flag—with three cof fi ns paint e d on i t, and the inscriptions, " Taxes, W el lington, Bishops." In one corner, a half-length figure of the Duke of Wellington sitting in a thoughtful posture, the fore finger of the right hand resting on his forehead, while the other hand is raised to his mouth with pill between his fingers:; a figure of the D ev il i s seen peeping over the back of the chair, who exclaims " He is all my own," the inscription, " Reform Pills" at the top; in the centre, as if issuin g from the fi , ure, " 0 them Radical Grey Pills ! !" and at the b r Ottom, " Never mind, Arthur, swallow, they will work well." he Crown, with a petticoat attached, and two legs peeping from under, well clad in Wellington boots, with the motto, " Reform Petticoats altered to the fashion, by Cumberland amid Co." A beautiful model of a 74 gun ship, fully rigged—carried by carpenters. This vessel was placed near the left of the Chairman on the hustings, and was much ad !l fliced- T r - co l our—with " Liberty or Death. " he following no doubt alluded to the Member for this district of burghs, and was exhibited on two large flags, havin g a figure of a " Rat" painted on itch corner : " Huratio-0 day and night, but this General HAY was received with the most enthu siastic cheers, and, in moving the first resolution, said—Friends and brother R-formers, I have great satisfaction in meeting such a numerous and re spectable body in support of the great cause of Re form—a cause which is of such vast importance to yourselves and your families for ever !—(Cheers.) I have much pleasure in moving the first resolution, which will be read by Mr. Angus. Sir MICHAEL BRUCE—I now have to introduce to your notice another reformer ; and if any one in dividual be more dear to you than another it is he, as he resides among you, and has your full confi dence—Mr. A. Bannerman. Mr. Bannerman, on making his appearance to address the meeting, was long and loudly cheered. Mr. ALEX. BANNERMAN—The events which have taken place in London within the last few days, in deed over the whole kingdom, must have opened the eyes of the very few who did not see that the coun try was on the brink of a volcano. But above all, the news which has reached Aberdeen this morning must show to the world that the hopes of a great nation are not to be trifled with, by the base intrigue of a few individuals struggling for power. The great Duke of Wellington—(Loud groans)—has been for the first time in his life signally defeated, he has failed in forming a new Administration, arid a communication has been sent to Earl Grey which will lead to an arrangement which will insure the success of the whole measure of reform.—(Loud cheers.) I know that some of my friends disap prove of such vast assemblages a. are here congre gated—l regret as much as they can do the neces sity for such meetings, but they are constitutional and proper; and if they were not held, I happen to know a little of the feelings of that class of the com munity, which convinces me that the safety-valve which now surrounds me is as necessary as a safety valve to a steam-boiler. I know also that some in dividuals (who shall be nameless) have invested me with sovereign power in Aberdeen, and have as serted that if I were (base enough) to plan the hanging of any of our opponents you would be bold enough to execute. I have a better opinion of you, and if any individual were to give you such advice, I hope you would hang him who did so, and I would lend you a hand ; for be assured I never will give you any advice, or bid you do any thing, but what I am ready to follow and to do myself.—(Loud cheers.) Sir JOHN FORBES moved the resolution. Sir MICHAEL BRUCE—Iie had now another and a very useful reformer to present to them—Mr. Blackie, the banker. He was glad they had such men among them—they had the supplies—(Laugh ter)—•and the supplies were of very great moment. Mr. BLAcKtE,Thanker—Sir Michael and Gentle men, I have much pleasure in seconding the motion of Sir John Forbes, for a motion could not have been made in which the best and noblest feelings of roy heart so harmoniously coincide with my poli• tic.ll principles, as that to which I now give my feeble voice of support. There never was, gentle men (at least in my recollection), a Ministry in his country, whom I could so unconditionally ad mire as the late Admini: !ration there never has been a Ministry in this country, the members of ,vhich concentrated in themselves more of all those distinguished virtues which lead us, not only to ap prove the politician, but to love and venerate the man : I therefore feel convinced that there is riot an individual in this vast assembly, who will Not cordially join in the praise bestowed upon Earl Mr. 13URNETT of Leys—The resolution which he had now the honour to submit was to refuse the supplies until they passed the Reform Bill; and he hoped that the House of Commons would attend to the suggestion, coming as it did from such a nume rous and respectable body, which would soon bring their Lordships to their senses.—(Cheers.) Mr. GERARD, of Midstrath—Sir Michael Bruce and gentlemen, I feel a peculiar pride and pleasure in supporting this resolution, for I consider it as by far the most important that will be submitted to you to-day. I like it because it is strong, and goes di rectly to the point. Here is no dallying with terms or with forms—no bending to unmeaning eti quette—no bush-fighting—but a gallant charge — and it goes home to the root of all our grievances— (Cheers.) It has this peuliar merit, gentlemen, that if the Commons House of Parliament do bet entertain the prayer it involves, it necessarily insures success to every thing else that we can reasonably demand—and, gentlemen, we demand nothing—we wish for nothing—but the triumph of plain dealing, truth, and freedom, over fraud, falsehood, and arbi trary power—(hear, hear,)— whether that power be assumed by an individual, or by that still more hate ful monster, a Tory oligarchy.—(Loud cheers.) The success of this motion (I don't mean, here, for here it is safe enough,) but its adoption by the house of Commons, insures us not only a splendid victory as Reformers, but a noble gratification as honest men, in bringing defeat and disgrace upon the meatiest, the dirtiest, the most insolent, lying and indecent faction, that ever insulted a nation by low political chicanery and debauchery.— (Immense cheer ing.) Gentlemen, don't you perceive the tail and the cloven feet to boot, in the late proceedings of the Tory Lords ? Don't you perceive the implacable hatred to every thing that can conduce to the wel fare and improvement of mankind ? Look not mere ly at their conduct with respect to the Reform Bill, look at their envenomed hostility to the cause of education in Ireland. Look I say at these, and many other acts of an equally Satanic hue, and then tell me if the cloven feet of the enemy are not there apparent—his odious whisking tail—his serpent fangs—his forked, his lying, hissing tongue—and his pestilential breath, more fatal to human happiness and freedom, than the sirocco of the desert to the traveller ? Yet, my friends, incredible as it may ap pear, that profligate party is again in power, although the cheering intelligence received this morning jus tifies the hope, that that power will be strangled almost in its birth. But, gentlemen, we must still be watchful and at our posts, and sure I am, that honest Reformers will consider the battle but as half won, until truth and justice shall have hurled them from their seats. I have great pleasure in seconding the motion of the Hon. gentleman. (Mr. Gerrard sat down amid the loudest plaudits of the meeting.) Mr. KILGOUR—A motion has been put into my hands, which, although I regret its necessity, I feel it my duty to propose to the meeting. Public men are public property, arid when they commit errors they must be dragged before the public to receive sentence—(Cheers.) You all recollect of the 23d of May last. It was a glorious day for Aberdeen. We turned out in thousands and tens of thou sands to meet one whom we believed to be a sincere and ardent reformer. Ladies waved their handker chiefs, and men shouted and huzzsed at every new pledge in favour of the Bill and the Ministry— (cheers) —that the hero of the day gave, and lest the huzzas might be construed into " empty praise," we added likewise the " solid pudding."—(Laugh ter)—My friends, I have been within a few feet of that man, on every occasion where he addressed the inhabitants of this city. I heard every word he ut tered, and I will say, arid I am sure the majority of this meeting will bear me out, when I say that if ever there was a man bound solemnly to the Reform Bill and the Ministry, Mr. Horatio Ross, our mem ber, was the man. He owes his seat entirely to these pledges—he had nothing else to recommend him— ( Loud marks of desecration and cries of "No Ross.") lie told us in one of his early addresses, that as he was a young man and not acquainted much with po litics, he would go t o sc h oo l arid study every ques tion before he gave his vote. I wonder where this young gentleman sought wisdom on Lord I:bring ton's motion ?—(Loud laughter and cheers.) Who was his teacher? In this country it was once the practice to send the children to an old woman to learn the alphabet.—(Loud laughter.) Our worthy member has been studying the elements of political science under some antiquated female. He has dipt into a well of knowledge, over which some aged gentlewoman is the priestess.—(Laughter and cheers.) Like our King, whom we will still honour, respect, and reverence, and who will yet be every t fling that we could wish him—(lmmense cheering) — he has knocked under petticoat government. — (Laughter and cheers.) My friends, will you send your petition to this man.—(Loud cries of No, no—Hume, Hume.) We will send it to one who never d ece i ve d us , we will send it to one who r r never deceived his country, we will send it to Mr. Hume.—(Continued cheers.) Let us trust the Ministry, and let us not trust Mr. Ross.—(Cheers.) Mr. Formes of Echt, in seconding the resolution, much regretted Mr. Ross's backsliding; but he hoped he would be able to exialuin his conduct and motives, to the satisfaction of his real constituents : (laughter) for he was sure that all now assembled there, deplored as much as he did, ra tting from the true Ea ,se.—(Che e r s .) Sir Altcletee Beuce—l can assure the meeting, that I shah have great pleasure in signing the peti tion with my best and most legible pen.—(Cliee!'s.) Mr. STRONACII, in proposing the fifth resolution, said, Reicr u i can b e no l onger w i t hh e ld with safety o the country, for we will and must have the 11t11, he whole 1311, and nothing but the Bill—the birth iglt of every Briton.—(Loud chews.) 111 r. NICOL—Sir Michael Bruce and Gentlemen, may safely say, that on no previous occasion, nor on any public question ever agitated in this country, Sir W. FOLKES presented a petition from Diss, in Norfolk, praying the House to withhold the supplies until the Reform Bill had passed ; also a petition from Norfolk for a repeal of the duty on Marine Insurances. Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition, to which he begged leave to call the attention of the House. It was signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, and, of course, could only be received as from that person ; but it was agreed to at the largest meeting ever known, com prising the inhabitants of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehsuse, to the number of 20,000 persons. The petitioners, after expressing their regret at the late resigna tion of Ministers, concluded by a prayer to withhold the supplies from any Ministry who would not produce a Re form Bill equally efficient in all its parts with the present one. The Noble Lord next presented similar petitions from Totness, Ashburton, Leith, Paisley, and Dudley. Mr. LITTLETON bore testimony to the respectability of the meeting at Dudley, and said that the feeling mani fested there in favour of Reform was greater than was ever known upon any subject. Lord EBRINGTON next presented a similar petition from Reading, signed in one hour by about 5,000 persons. Mr. F. PALMER supported the prayer of the petition. The Nosts LORD then presented similar petitions from Middleton, in Lancashire, and from the English visitors in Jersey. In conclusion, the Noble Lord said, that although all those petitions prayed that the supplies might he stopped until the Reform Bill was passed, he hoped it would be long before an occasion should arise to call upon the re presentatives of the people to exercise the right which they undoubtedly possess of withholding the supplies. The petitions were ordere I to be printed. Sir H. WILLIAMSON presented similar petitions from Gateshead, signed by 8,000 persons, and also from Darlington and Malton, in Yorkshire. Mr. LEADER rose to present several petitions from the county of Kilkenny in favour of Irish Reform. The lion. Member said there was one from the city of Kil kenny, praying for an additional Member under the Re form Bill. That town had a population of upwards of twenty-five thousand inhabitants, and was the an cient seat of learning in Ireland ; it also returned four Members to the Irish Parliament. The Honourable Gentleman thought that it would be more in accordance with justice to give that town an additional 'Member, than lo g►ve one to the University of Dublin. He then pre ,ented his petitions, which were from the city of Kilkenny, Kinsale, Knocktopher, Powerscourt, and several ether places. Mr. LEFROY hoped that the House would confirm What was proposed to be done under the Reform Hill, viz, to give another Member to the University 01 Dublin, which, though it had not 25,000 inhabitants, was still the only seat of !tinting in Ireland for the edit ,ation of the gentlemen and clergymen of that country. Mr. O'CONNELL said the Hon. and Learned Member had Justly said that the University of Dublin was the only eat of learning in Ireland, but it was distinguished only for its wealth, It w us tte most tlzhly endowedof ran REFORM. The E►rl of ROSEBERY, in the absence of a Noble Friend, presented a petition from Falkirk, in favour of Reform. FACTORIES' REGULATION RILL. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition from the Corporation of Derby, praying their Lordships to establish some regulation in the cotton factories. Both the above petitions were laid upon the table. The Poor Allotments Bill went through a Committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR having taken his seat on the Woolsack at half-past five, The Marquess of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from Sunderland Biped by 600 or 700 hundred persons, principally ship-owners, against the Hartlepool Railway Bill, which he was sorry to say had passed the House yesterday.—Laid on the tittle. IRISH TITHE BILL. Viscount MELBOURNE moved the (miler of the day for the House going into Committee on the above Bill. The Earl of WICKLOW begged to make a few ob servations before the House went into Committee.— He complained of the manner in which the Bill had been delayed, and in which the whole subject of Irish Tithes had been neglected. The Committee, which has sat ever since the 16th of February, has had no other evidence before them than the witnesses examined in one week. One effect of this delay had been, that the recommendation of the report totally to to extinguish tithes had been effectually accomplished in Ireland, where there was a total suspension of their payment; and be bad been assured, upon the best authority, that when application was made for pay ment, the people expressed their astonishment, and asked ~Iwther the Legislature had not declared the extinction f that impost. The consequence was, that if every individual who could not recover his tithes, were 'o snake application under this Bill for relief, the amount granted by it would not furnish one day's in some s e. ,otts t r u t it a cpi ;se: peaceable eo t ar l r t di e ati i yts r ittrmioe f sf a t families. r e ne r dG . a E edyn v e e a n t. in di o st f urb t e h t e i a : lt t ,l t e i ttr e il t t gcili ‘ vc v oey h vr e sto t r i tfini d : e mci t e l o i nn a itbe n ywi d i e itoa d iuti iil o :d f nnß, them. lit,,,fetrneo:libieyntthaewipettotpleestt,otbirisei: an organized system which would enable them to refuse of s t u i st a tto t ah e ke d feond t r l t eung e to r yot e jo b tmhi r , therefore posed upon them, of enforcing the rirand p nal a u ; cey t ei n editcn e r nt of these ar- Lord DURHAM said he could not join with the No- Ide Earl in his lamentations over the present state of the House, and as little could he concur with that Nble Earl in the view which he took of the Bill then under the con sideration of their Lordships. The Noble Earl had spo ken of the vote by ballot, and armed to reecommend it as the only effectual means of ascertaining the true sentiments on a particular question of the Members of both ?louses who had supported the Reform Bill. He protested that it did appear to him rather a novelty, to hear the Noble Earl opposite become the advocate of vote by ballet. With re spect to much that had fallen from the Nahle Earl, he (Lord Durham) did not think it would be neeressary for him to trouble their Lordahips with replying to it much in detail ; and he hoped that in their future discussions they would proceed in a more becoming tone and temper to deal with the measure then before theta. He trusted that they would proceed with it calmly and deliberately, and that there would now be an end to everything like heat or animosity on the subject. Ile took for granted that the House would excuse him froui entering upon any defence, either on his own behalf or on that of his colleagues, re lative to their conduct on the Reform Bill, and that the House would nut expect from him any vindication from lie charges brought against them for the first time. As tar as he knew the principle of the Bill, he understood it to he that of population, adding to that all the various considerations arising out of commerce, manufactures, wealth, the payment of assessed taxes, &c. &c. Now if those principles formed the basis of the Bill, and if they constituted a sound hisis, then be would say that there erre no parts of the kingdom better entitled to send Re presentativee into the other House of Parliament. But the Noble Earl had contended that cont.rring the elective franchise upon the Metropolitan districts would have the effect of increasing and continuing that agitation which 'or the last year and a half it bad been the object of the Government to prevent. He seemed to have nothing before his imagination but broken heads and broken windows. There was surely no reasen to suppose that the pos session of the elective franchise would produce results in the metropolis dissimilar from these which it bad pro duced in other places. Representation uniformly led to tranquillity and calm deliberation with respect to political matters, while its absence was marked by riots and dis turbance. Let Noble Lords only look to the places where riots took place at ally time within their recollection, and they would find that the greatest amount of turbulence ind discontent proceeded from the unrepresented towns in the north of England ; and even those districts of the me tropolis which had representatives, were, in that respect, easily to be distinguished from those which were unrepre sented. In the Noble Earl's own neighbourhood there had been for two months together a series of meetings of the largest and most tumultuous character ; then, as he before said, let them only look to the unrepresented por tions of the metropolis—karylebone, Greenwich, Black heath—and let them compare the meetings hell there with those in the represented portions. There were meetings, no doubt, in London, Westminster, and Southwark, but they were calm and moderate compared with those which took place in the other parts of the town ; he would there .ay, that the evidence did by no means ben- out the Noble Lord in his statements—statements as unfounded as the leductions of the Noble Earl from ascertained facts were illogical. lie should not then feel himself called upon to enter further into topics of general reasoniug, but proceed with some matters of mere detail, which fie trusted would place the question upon its true foot ; but, in order to do that, lie feared he must trespass , ipon the indulgence of the House for some time longer, and with less interesting materials than he would have wished ; but the question was one of some imporrance ; end, though most men of intelligence in the country • agreed that the number of Members aasigried under the Bill to the metropolis was not too much, yet some might not be aware that if the circumstances which all parsons admitted ought to constitute the elements of representa tion were to have their full weight in this particular case, the number of metropolitan members would be far greater than was ever contemplated by any Reformer. With the view of making this apparent to their Lordships, he should beg their attention to some statistical details, and if he only succeeded in making himself clearly understood, he could not feel any apprehension as to the result ; anti he hoped that when the subject was fully before them, the House would be induced to follow the ancient precedents under which representation had front time to time been conferred upon different places throughout England and Wales. The City of London was not enfranchised until the 49th of Henry 111. ; Westminster did not receive the right of representation until long subsequent to that pe dud ; nor did Southwark until after Westminster, though the precise time when that borough was en franchised had not been accurately ascertained for a long period after the enfranchisement of London and Westriiin s:er had elapsed before that suburb had arisen into sufficient wealth or so much increased in p rpulation as to entitle it to send representatives to Parliament. That great prin ciple of gradual enfranchisement, as places eularged is wealth, population, and intelligence, was the principle upon which our ancestors had preceeeie;l, and that was he precedent which the promoters of the pte,etit Bill aarnestly wished the Legislature at the present day to pursue. At this part of the ob.servationti 17;licli he in ,ended to address to their Lordships, he could not help calling their attention to the fact, that there was not, in lie whole list of Parliamentary Reformers, to be Lund me who had even contemplated a measure of Returns ehich did not embrace the enfranchisement of the metro politan districts. Both the plans of Mr. Pitt, in 1783 ind 1785, bad that object in view; and in 1783, there were four petitions presented to the House of Conmons, Iron] places iu and about the metropolis, having that ob ject for their prayer. The first petition was from Kent, the second from the freeholders of the city of London, ,he third from the inhabitants of Westminster, and the fourth from the Tower Hamlets. It was part of Mr. l'itt's plan, in 1785, that seventy-two Members should Je assigned to the metropolis and to the too metro politan counties, and divided into suitable proportions iniongst them, for it was a matter conceded on all hands twat the metropolis was not adequately represented. But, is he had before stated, that was not the opinion of alr. Pitt alone ; a Reformer (Mr. Horne Tooke) who erough t for ward his plans of Reforin more than 50 years ago, held likewise the same doctrines. The projectors of the present Bill only proposed to add to the number of Mem oats whom they found sitting for the metropolie, and let .oily Noble Lords compare that with the proposition of the Reformer whom many of them followed as a political iaader during a great portion of their lives, and whose rrinciples all of them professed to revere ; and he begged .f them at the seine time to remember how much the netropolis had increased in wealth and population between fw)oliist'ely,d,maasei metropolitan e t b a n a a .. t hat time and this.
