Unless silence was maintained he should feel it his duty to order the Court to be cleared of all those who were not freeholders of the County. Mr. COKE here handed to the High Sheriff a Letter from Lord Suffield, accountmg, as the Honourable Gentleman stated, for the absence of that Noble Lord. one. But if it was meant to be argued that a Representative, once elected, was to be wholly independent of his constituents, and had a right to neglect their interests, and attend solely to his own, then he must at once deny the justice of such doc trine.—(Applause !)—Nor did he know where to find an advo cate for it,, except among those whose interest it was to support the grossest and most palpable abuses, because they lived and fattened upon them.—(Applause !)—The HonOurable Baronet concluded by moving the followin4 Resolutions : " 1. Resolved, That, by the spirit of the English Consti tution 7 the House of Commons ought to be elected by the People, to represent the People, and to be responsible to the People. " 2. That the Members returned ter serve in Parliament are choseli by not more than one-thousandth part of the adult male population of this Kingdom ; and of these the great majority are elected by the arbitrary will of individuals, and by the ex ercise of the most corrupt means. " 3. That such a system has gradually undermined the foundations of the Constitution, subverted the great fabric of civil liberty, and deprived the people both of their privileges and their property, through the agency of the very powers destined to protect them. " 4. That the doctrine which has !lady been so unblushingly avowed in Parliament, that corrupts Thf is necessary to the sup port of the Monarchy, is as dangerous to the real interests of the Crown as it is odious to the people and destructive of pub lic liberty ; and that any Minister who is base enough to assist in carrying on such a'system of Government deserves the exe cration of every honest man, as a traitor to his Sovereign, and an enemy to his country, the safety and the glory of the Crown of England resting not upon a rotten system of corruption, but upon the uninfluenced support of a free, enlightened, and loyal people. " 5. That the intolerable pressure of the taxes, the beggary and ruin of thousands of the industrious classes, and the awful prospects which we have before us of increased and increasing misery ; together with the contemptuous disregard of our pe titions, the violation of our rights, and encroachments upon our liberties, have satisfied us that, until a radical change shall be effected iri'the mode of electing Nlembers to the Commons House of Parliament, until that House shall ,be responsible to the people, and dependent upon them for their seats instead of a junto of borough proprietors, we shall look in vain for secu rity for our property, or for the preservation of that Constitu tion which it is our manifest interest, as well as our ardent de sire, to preserve inviolate. " 6. That a Petition be once more presented to the House of Commons, praying that the House will forthwith give to the people a real Representation, in place of that corrupt and de fective one which now exists. list Meeting( No," from Mr.Wodehouse.)—lle understivd the Hon. Member to have said so. ' That Petition prayed for' the Repeal of the Taxes on-Malt, Salt 4 Leather, Soap, and Candles. Though the Honourable Member, was of opinion* that a redtiction of taxation was absolutely necessary, yet, when Lord Althorp made a motion, declaring that the reductions pro.: posed.by the Marquess of Londonderry were not- sufficient to satisfy the country, they found Mr. Wodehouse opposing the motion, and complimenting Lord LOndonderry on the extent of relief which he was granting to the country—(Lbud applause.)— Well, what had been done next ? Lord Althorp introduced - a motion for the. Repeal:of the Salt Tax, and against that motion Mr. Wodehouse a 146, voted..-ICheers ! and cries of " what to you say to that, Mr: Wodehouse?"l He should not add a turd more upon this part of the subject, but would leave it to the Hon. Member 'td explain:his conduct to the Meeting as well as he could. Adverting . to the distresses of the country, he ob served that had Ministers" at the conclusion of the war, adop ted that systeni of economy, a hope of which they had held out to the country, he hesitated not to say that from 50,000,0001. to 66,000,0001: which had been wrung froth the pockets of the peos ple might have been saved. Had this been done, his name should never have aPpeared to a Requisition for Parliamentary Reform.—(Cheers, arid laughter.)—But as it had not been done, he felt fhat he had never discharged his duty more con scientiously than he did in signing a Requisition for the.:pur pose of pronioting an object so mach to be desired; arid so ne cessary to the welfare of the country.—(Applause.) . • Mr. N. B. PALMER warmly supported the Resolutions; and expressed his decided conviction that nothing but Parliamentary Reform could restore the constitution to its original . purity. It was decided, on the motion of Sir T. BEEVOR, that a Pew tition, founded on the Resolutions, should be presented to the House of Commons. COM- was, to in GRENADA.

Alderman THURTEI.I. endeavoured to obtain a hearing, but the clamour continuing in the body of the Court, he was obliged to give up the attempt. Mr. COKE (atter consulting for a moment with the 'High Sheriff) again came forward. If the Meeting would only at tend to him for two minutes, they would find that their wishes were about to be complied with. Their Worthy Sheriff had obligingly determined to adjourn the Meeting into the open air, and it would, therefore, he held on the Castle Hill.— (Cheers.) The HIGH SHERIFF then declared the Meeting adjourned for half an hour, for the purpose of giving time for making the necessary arrangements for holding the Meeting out of doors. COKE COMPANY.

The HIGH SHERIFF addressed the Meeting as follows: A Requisition, Gentlemen, having been addressed to me by such a numerous body of Freeholders, anioag whom are the names of those so pre-eminent for rank, nobility, and talent--the names also of those not less pre-eminent for respectability of character in private life, and equally devoted to the best princi pies of, the Constitution, to take into consideration the pro priety of petitioning Parliament for a Reform in the Repre sentation of the People, I have felt it a duty incumbent upon me, and, indeed, have with much pleasure come from town expressly for that object, to meet the wishes of the Requisi tionists, by convening a Meeting of the County upon a subject of such great importance--a subject, Gentlemen, which opens so large a field of dissertation, that, though a friend myself to freedom of debate in popular assemblies like the present, when Constitutionally met together, and Constitutionally conducted; because it is by the voice and consent of the People only that the higher Authorities can be upheld and maintained ; yet I am sure that, in this instance, I need not remind you of the ex pediency, and indeed necessity, of strictly adhering to the letter of the Requisition ; and, after the numerous Meetings that have been so lately, so generally, and I trust so beneficially, held in the respective Hundreds of this extensive "County, u m= der the sanction of the Magistracy, upon another subject which equally affects you all, but irrelevant to the present purport, I hope that no extraneous topics of discussion, as I must observe at some of those Meetings has been the case, will, in this in stance, be so introduced ; because were that to be allowed; I believe I should be the first to transgress, by taking this oppor tunity of making a few observations upon the situation in which I now stand placed. lam sure also I need not remind you to conduct the proceedings of the day temperately, candidly, and dispassionately, which will be the best and the only mode to promote the object of the Meeting, and to secure a fair and im partial hearin to those Gentlemen who now wish to come forward to offer their sentiments, of whatsoever political ten dency they may be, upon a question of such vital import to the liberty of the subject, and the general welfare of the country.— But I really feel that I have already been trespassing too much upon your time, being fully sensible that it is my pro vince rather to listen than to speak ; I shall not therefore de tain this Meeting for a moment longer than to request that the terms of the Requisition be now read by the Sub-Sheriff. is a i and lera vhere- re.— ►nt in s and thin esta pared free. d the R .

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. NORFOLK COUNTY MEETING, MAY IL It having been known for several days that a County Meeting, on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, was • to be holden in the County Hall this day, considerable interest was mccited in the Town of Norwich, in which it iiknown Party politics run to an extreme height. Several attempts were made by the Ultra Loyal Party to excite a feeling in the work ing classes of society against the Meeting. Among them we noticed the following placard, which was posted on the walls, and freely circulated through the streets : " LARGE LOAF. " A PROCLAMATION.—NorfoIk Meeting of Reform, May 11, 1822. " What is the purpose of the Meeting?—To keep up High Rents, and raise the Price of Bread. " What is the greatest benefit to the people of England ? What the Poor now enjoy—a large Loaf, which needs no Reform. " God save 'the King." At an early hour a considerable number of persons had as sembled in the Castle Yard. At half-past 11 o'clock the upper part of the Hall was crowded by landholders and farmers of the most respectable appearance, who had made their way through the Castle. At 12 o'clock the High Sheriff (Sir R. P. Jod drell, Bart.) entered the Court, and. was received with loud plause. The body of the Hall was then thrown open, and was immediately filled in every part. E. Wodehouse, Esq. M.P. for the County, having made his appearance in the side gallery, was received by a mixture of groans, hisses, and cheers; the former Lowever were much more general than the latter. The Honourable Gentleman received this salutation with the utmost good humour, bowing and nodding occasionally to different persons in the crowd. There had for several minutes before this been a cry of " Adjourn into the open air, adjourn into the open air." This cry now became so loud as to prevent any thing else from being heard in the Hall. The HIGH SHERIFF said, a wish was expressed by some persons present to adjourn to the Castle Hill. All he had to say, as far as regarded himself was, that he was ready to meet the wishes of the freeholders as far as he could, consistently with his duty.—(Applause.)—He should therefore leave it to the Meeting to decide whether they they would adjourn or not. But if they did, he trusted the same good order and regularity would be preserved without as within the walls of that Court— (Loud cries of" Adjourn, adjourn," mixed with whistling and groaning.) q! Mr. G. WATSON said, from the conduct of those present, one would be led to imagine, that instead of assembling to dis cuss with calmness and impartiality the question of Reform, they had met together for the purpose only of interrupting the Meeting, and abusing certain individuals.—.(Groans.)—He called upon them to act like rational men, like freeholders, con scious of the value of their liberties, and anxious to support them.—('l he noise was still continued.) The HIGH SHERIFF said he understood it to be the wish of the Meeting that no adjournment should take place, as there was not such a crowded assemblage as to render it necessary— (Cries of No, no !) A general cry of " Mr. Coke, Mr. Coke," was now raised ; and it having been at length announced that that Gentleman was approaching, loud cheering took place. Mr. Coke at length made his appearance, and the cheering and clapping of hands became louder, and were longer continued than those we remember to have witnessed on any former occasion; there were also one or two hisses. The crowd was so very dense that Mr. Coke, notwithstanding the anxiety of all present to make way for him, experienced great difficulty in taking his place near the Chair.—(Loud cries of " adjourn" were still kept up in the body of the Hall.) Mr. COKE endeavoured to obtain a hearing, but the shouts and groans of the Meeting, mingled with cries of " adjourn," completely drowned the Hon. Gentleman's voice. The HIGH SHEFIIFF observed,,that if order were not main tained, it would be impossible to proceed in the business The UNDEICSIIERIFF (Geo. Wyirier, Esq.), read the Re quisition, and the High Sheriff's answer thereto. It had affixed to it the signatures - of upwards of 250 of the principal Nobility, Gentry, Owners, and Occupiers of Land in the County, among whom were—the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Suffield, Viscount Bury, Lord Charles Townshend, Sir I'. B. Lennard, Bart. Sir W. J. H. B. Folkes, Bart. Sir J. E. Smith, Knt., the lion. W. Fitzroy, T. W. Coke, Esq. (Member of Parliament for the County), E. Lambe, Esq. S. T. Southwell, Esq. N. Micklethwait, Esq. Archdeacon Bathurst, Rev. C. Anson, Rev. J. B. Collier, Rev. R. N. Raikes, J. Postle, Esq. Alderman Thurtell, E. H. Gibbs, Esq. &c. Sir T. B. BEE von, Bart. was proceeding to address the Meeting, when Mr. COKE begged to call the attention of the High Sheriff to the letter which he (Mr. Coke) had delivered to the Honourable Baronet from Lord Suffield, and which he wished to be read to the Meeting. The HIGH SHERIFF said, it had been his intention to read it, after the putting of the Resolutions, but he was perfectly ready to do so now. The Honourable Baronet then read the following letter " London, May 6, 1822. " SlR—Being one of those who requested you to convene a County Meeting,. for the purpose of deliberating upon the pro priety of petitioning Parliament for a Reform in the representa tion of the People, I feel it due, in respect, Sir, to yourself and to the Meeting which has been called by public advertisement, to apologize for my unavoidable absence from Norfolk at the time it is to take plate. Regretting, severely as I do, the cir cumstances which deprive me of the pleasure of meeting my friends in Norfolk on this highly important occasion, I still de live consolation from a consciousness of my inability essentially to promote the cause of Reform by my presence. I think a Reform in the Representation of the People recommended by policy, I think it demanded by justice, and I think it required by the intellectual, the moral, and the political condition of the country. The arguments upon which these several positions may be maintained are so obvious to the understanding of im partial and unprejudiced persons, and they are indeed so sensi bly brought home to the feelings of the greater part of those who will probably attend the Meeting, over which I conclude, Sir, you will preside, that it is needless, and would therefore be unbecoming, in me to trespass further upon your attention than to express my ardent hope that unanimity in a prayer for Re form may prevail at your Meeting ; not only at your Meeting but through the County of Norfor. ; not only through Norfolk, but through the whole Empire ; as upon a general, if hot uni versal call for Reform, I most conscientiously believe the safety of England to depend. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, (Signed) " SUFFIELD. " Sir R. P. Joddrell, Bart. High Sheriff of Norfolk." Sir T. B.' BEEv on, Bart, in coming forward to propose a list of Resolutions for the consideration of the Meeting, re gretted that the duty had not devolved upon some of those Gentlemen around him, who were so much better qualified than he was to discharge it. But while he was ready to yield to the superior abilities of other Gentlemen, he would yield to no one in attachment to the cause of Parliamentary Reform.—(Ap plause.)—That was a question in which they were all interested with which they were all identified. It became them to con sider that every man had a right to a voice in framing those laws which he was bound to obey, and by which his person and property were to be protected. In supporting this opinion he was backed by one of the greatest legal authorities of this country. Judge Blackstone maintained, that in a free Go vernment every man who was a free agent had a right to a voice in the election of his Representative, and therefore that one branch of the Government resided in the whole body of the people. This he conceived was clear enough. Here was no mention of the Boroughmongers, or of the necessity of placing this branch of the Government in the hands of a wealthy Aris tocracy ; but it was admitted that the appointment of this branch of the Legislature was vested in the whole body of the people. It was impossible that the population of this country at 'present could exercise this right, and therefore it was that Representatives were elected to act for them and watch over their interests. In these elections, therefore, all the people had a right to have an equal voice. Did the House of Com mons represent all the people of England at this moment— (" No, no ?)—lle maintained that it did not—(" No, it does not."—He begged pardon—it did not actually represent the people, but then it represented them virtually. Supposing that lie had a dispute with his neighbour, and it was agreed to adjust it by reference, what would be thought of him if he in sisted on appointing the referee, declaring that his friend (the referee) was an honourable man, and incapable of deciding un justly ? Absurd as such a proceeding would appear, yet such precisely was the situation in which the people were placed by the Government. They (Ministers) exercised the power of electing those who were to decide between them and the people. —(Applause.)—One of the objections against Parliamentary , Reform was, that it would lead to revolution, and this argu ment was urged by persons who, when it served their turn, had always the Revolution of 1688 in their mouths=-(Applause !) He was one of those who thought that though much had been done at the Revolution of 1688, yet that much had been left undone ; and he felt convinced the seeds of our present evils might be traced to the omissions of that period. It was next said that, if Parliamentary Reform were once brought about, the Representatives of the people would be degraded to mere delegates. If he understood the difference between the two characters, it was this, that a Representative was elected for a general purpose, while a delegate was appointed for a particular S. T. SOHTH‘iELL, Esq. came forward to second the Re solutions, and was received with much applause. He felt great diffidence in addressing the meeting. The task which devolved upon him was an honourable one; but it had been put upon him—it was not of his own seeking. He felt much nervous ness when he compared the weakness of his poor talents with the greatness of the question before them—(Applause).—He was an old Reformer, perhaps the oldest in that assembly— (Cheers).—He did not recollect the time when he was not a Reformer—he did not recollect the time when he did not per ceive and laugh at the absurdity and folly of what was called virtual representation—he did not recollect the time when he did not clearly perceive the evils which must result from a per severance in that system by' which one thousandth part of 'the people elected that Body who were said to be the Representa tives of the whole nation—(Applause).—lt was a perseverance in that wretched system which had brought down such an accu mulation of evils upon the country, and which would still fur ther increase -those evils, unless they exerted themselves tem. perately, but firmly, in seeking redress. It was not his inten tion to take up the time of the meeting with a description of the mischief and profligacy which arose from our present represen tative system ; he should leave it to abler men. But he felt it necessary to answer a few of the objections which had been from time to time made by their adversaries (for they had many and able adversaries) against Parliamentary Reform. Those objections might he classed under three or four heads. First, it was said that this was not the time to introduce that question ; and next, persons had the confidence, or he should rather say the impudence, to ask, in mockery, what Reformers expected to get by Parliamentary Reform—(Cries of " every thing") ? Those persons cautioned the Reformers to take care what they were about--to take care that, however honest their intentions, they were not tools in the hands of wicked and designing men, whose whole aim was to overturn society, and in the confusion which must ensue, to possess themselves of that property which would in the struggle be cast on the waters of desolation--(Ap plause).--These observations were weak and groundless. They applied to no time, much less to the present. If, on the other hand, it was argued that this was not the best time for dis cussing Parliamentary Reform, he would meet their adver saries half way, by admitting that it was not. The best time for discussing Parliamentary Reform, was when it was first broached. It was now about 50 years since the question of Re form was first agitated, and if the popular voice had been at tended to, and acted upon, before the American war took place, we should never have known the bloodshed which that war oc casioned, nor should we at this moment be labouring under the pressure of the 200,000,0001. of debt which it inflicted upon us. Had the country, after the American war, acted upon the ad vice of some of our greatest men, among others Mr. Pitt, and Mr. (now Lord) Grey, we should have avoided the bloodshed and misery of the late French war. In short, had we adopted a different line of policy, we might have avoided all the mise ries under which we were at this moment suffering. So far he agreed with the opponents of this question, but no farther.— Ho maintained that this was the time to consider the question of Reform, and if Government did not attend to the voice of the people, they must expect that the ruin which now hung over the country would burst upon and destroy them. The whole frame of society was out of order. The Landed Interest was humbled to the dust—the Agricultural Interest, the support of the whole kingdom, was prostrate at their feet. They were told that manufactures were flourishing; but lie would appeal to any man whether, under such circumstances; they could be long carried on with a profit ? The commerce of this country, too, was in a state of the greatest jeopardy. This then was the period when they were bound, one and all, to support Parlia mentary Reform : it was for all their interests to support it with one voice, and if they neglected it now, they would surely rue it. Who was there that did not perceive that in such a state of things, the House of Commons ought to possess the confidence of the people ? But who was it that could be impu dent enough to state that the people ought to place confidence in the House of Commons, constituted as it at present was ? In sayng this,`he begged to observe that he was of no party. He was anxious to see the distinctions of Whig and Tory abolished, and wished to be considered as belonging to the party of the people. The Hon. Gentleman, after some further remarks, observed that their object in seeking for Reform was, not to overturn but to purify the Constitution.—(Applause.)— He called, therefore, upon every man to do his duty. Unless a Reform in Parliament took place, either the popular fury, stimulated by oppression and poverty, would break forth, or else this Government would dwindle into a despotism.— (Cheers.)—ln persevering in the cause for which they were as sembled, they would best consult the true dignity of the Crown, and protect the rights and liberties of the People. It was with this view that he seconded the Resolutions, arid he hoped they would be carried unanimously. The Resolutions were then put seriatim, and carried unani mously. Mr. E. CORY, after some observations upon the necessity of Landlords coming forward in aid of their tenants, proceeded tc remark that Farmers were more imposed upon by Parsons than by any other class - of men in society. They had all read in the Bible of the locusts which had overspread and desolated the land. The Parsons were the locusts of this country, and would devour the substance of the land—(Cheers, mixed with cries of question !)—But they (the farmers) would soon have it in their power to alter this state of things. It was not until the tithe had been cast that the Parson would discover what its real va lue originally was—(Cries of order ! we are here to discuss the question of Reform and nothing else.) Mr. THOS. THURTELL next addressed the Meeting. He should not have obtruded himself upon them were it not that he had at a Hundred Meeting, at Blofield, pledged himself to make a few observations upon the conduct of one of their County Members (Mr. Wodehouse.) In alluding to that Ho nourable Gentleman's conduct, he assured him (Mr. W.) that it was by no means his intention to misrepresent what had taken place at the last County Meeting ; upon that occasion he understood Mr. Wodehouse to say, that a diminution of taxes was absolutely necessary—(Hear, hear! from Mr. Wode house); that he hoped to see the allowances of the Royal Fa mily, as well as all the other qxpences of the State, reduced.— But, some how or other they never heard a word more about it from the Hon. Member—(Cheers!)—He (Mr. Wodehouse) said that his_opinions were in unison with the Petition adopted by the Upon Sir T. BEEVOR'S motion, that the Petition be pre. sented by the County Members, there were loud cries of "by one," "by one." It was however carried that it should be presented by both. Mr. COKE, on coming forward, was received by loud and repeated cheers and clapping of hands. The Hon. Gentleman said that he should not, after what had passed, detain the Meeting at any length, but he could not help expressing the satisfaction he felt it; meeting his constituents upon all Occasions. --(Applause.),—At the last County Meeting they had agreed to a Petition to Farliament praying relief. He presented that Petition, and It had met just with that . attention which he et. pected, hat was to say, that no relief whatever was ektended to the Petitioners.—(Applause.)—The Honourable Gentleman, adverting to the Norfolk Hundred. Petitions, observed that, though he presented them, he expressed to the parties that such Petitions ought each and all to include the question of Parlia mentary Reform. Of all that he did present (and he had pre: sented many in the course of the Session), there were only three Which did not include that important question.—(Applause.)-- He proceeded to observe that the Marquis of Londonderry had deluded the country. The whole of the Noble Lord's measures were a system of delusion. Let them look to the effects of those measures. The Honourable Gentleman here took a review of the political measures which had been introduced, and acted upon during the last fifty years, and contended, that to these mea sures chiefly were owing the miseries under which the country at present laboured. Until the present system was put an end to, there was no hope of salvation for the country. flow could they expect relief from an Assembly, in which there were 62 Members as much bound to obey the Minister, as any servant in his (Mr. Coke's) house, was bound to obey him ?=—(Cheers.) —Were it not for this there would have been long ere now a considerable reduction of taxes". • Mr. Wonnimest came forward to address the Meeting, but the noise which prevailed prevented him for a short time from proceeding. Whatever might be his private feelings upon the question which had drawn them together, he felt that he should best consult their wishes and discharge his own duty, by entering at once upon an explanation of his public condnct since he had last appeared before them ; in doing so, he should touch upon the Salt Tax.—(Much disapprobation.)-- He should give his reasons for voting against that tax, and perhaps his Honourable Coll !ague (Mr. Coke) would tell them why he did not vote at all upon that occasion.—(A The Meeting would bear in mind the circumstances under which Parliament had met this year. It was known that dis. tress, unprecedented in the annals of this kingdom, and arising from various causes, was felt all over the country, but no where more than in the county of Norfolk. This distress diffused over thecountry a spirit which induced thinking men to pause en th ry took any step which might involve those other interests s hit were bound up with, and inseparable from, the agriculture of the country, and which, should that interest languish and de cay, must cease to prosper.—(.Applause.)--Under those circum stances, a motion was made in Paiqiament to reduce the taxes of the country, not indeed by 20,000,0001. as was now sug gested, but perhaps by 5,000,0001., which, if carried at that period, must have gone to the total annihilation of the Sinking Fund—(Cries of "'No, no.")—upon the maintenance of the Sinking Fund then, 'depended to a certain extent, the public credit.--(Applause, and cries of " No, no.")—Whatever Gen. tlemen inialit think upon these matters, they sadly deceived themselves if they imagined that it was the rich only who were benefited by the maintenance of public credit.—(Applause.)-- There was not a man who heard him, no matter how low his sta tion in society, who must not be benefitted or injured by the preservation or failure of public credit. He felt called upon on that occasion to consider the impression likely to be made upon the country by the vote to Which the House should come. At the period in question Ministers were negociat . ing for the reduction of a considerable portion of that part of the debt of the country which bore the highest interest; he meant the Five per Cents. It was of the utmost im portance to the country that there should be but few dis sents entered ; and the dissents were so few that Government were enabled to pay them off at once, and by that means they became possessed of additional resources, amounting to 1,500,0001. and now one half, if not the whole, of the Salt Tax might be repealed. He had been accused of giving pledges, which he never made—of giving votes which he had never re-' corded—of using words which he had never spoken—and of expressing sentiments which he had never entertained. Mr. E. H. GIBBS observed, that Mr. Wodehouse had pledged himself generally in support of the Petition, excepting only the Resolution relative to Parliamentary Reform. Mr. WODEHOUSE proceeded. What he said at the former Meeting was simply this c " I have no hesitation in saying, that relief must come in the shape of mitigated taxation."— This he said then, and this he repeated now. But he had never gone beyond a general pledge, except on the Malt Tax, and die reduction of that tax he had uniformly support ed. He should now say a word or two about the question of Reform. He did not deny that the Constitution of the country did not admit of amendment; but he was not therefore prepared to go upon a rash crusade until he knew the length which he was required to go. He should call the attention of the Meeting to what the present state of the House of Commons was. He did not mean that which was by some persons called the corrupt side, but that which was called the Opposition. They would nd that some of the most leading men of that party, and the brighteit orna ments of. their country, were returned by borough-influenq.— Take, for instance, Mr. Tierney, an upright aria most enlight ened statesman; that Honourable Gentleman was returned for Knaresborough by Lord Fitzwilliam. Sir J. Mackintosh was returned in the same way. .Mr. Brougham was returned for Winchelsea, by the Earl of Thanet. Dr. Lu§kington, for il chester, by the Earl of Darlington. Mr. Aber by, for Caine, by the Marquis of Lansdown. Lord Normanby,.who second ed Lord Russell's motion for reform, was returned for High am Ferrers, by Earl Fitiwilliam. Lord Ebrington was return ed for Tavistock, by the Duke of Bedford. The present Lord Suffield (here a gentleman addressed Mr. Wodehouse in a low tone.)—His Hon. friend had told him that he was furnishing the strongest possible argument in favour of Parliamentary re form.-:-.(Cheers.)—Perhaps he was ; bet his object was to shew the manner in which the Opposition side of the House of Com mons was at present constituted. He felt not the slightest hesi tation in saying, that the whole of the Gentlemen whose names he had mentioned were bright ornaments of their country, and he should not wish to see any of them out of Parliament; but then they were all returned by a burga g e tenure, as firm and indite putable as that of the Member for Old Sarum, the Member for Corfe Castle, 'or even the Chancellor of the Exchequer him self.—(Cheers and disapprobation.) Mr. COKE said, that his Hon. Colleague could not furnish a stronger argument in support of Reform than lie did by the line of argument he had just taken. The Gentlemen he had named were all supporters of Reform and would willingly give up their seats in support of that so justly desired object.— (Applause.) Mr. W. W. SIMPSON and the Rev. G. GLOVER supported the Resolutions. Thanks were voted to the High Sheriff', and the Meeting was dissolved at five minutes past four o'clock.
