'ARIf REFORM.

Yesterday evening, a public meeting was held at
the School Room, C Asper-ousel, City-road. C. LUIIIIING-
Tux, E•q ,1111 P., took the chair at seven o'clock, to consider
the subject of parliamentary and Seemeial reform.

The CHAIRMAN having explained ;he objects of the
National Reform Association, proceeded to congratulate the
friends of the movement on the increase of their supporters
in parliameat, as proved by the division which had taken
pianist the House of Commas, a few evenings ago. How-
ever, their minorities in that how* would be of little service
as Wag es the people wen unrepresented in it. (Hear,
hear.) None bat the aristocracy were represented there
fully, and he was not wroog when be stated that out of the
number in that house there were 356 composed of military
and r oval LA:en, and their immediate friends. They bed
besides marquis.. and earls aqua ad n StIVONS. He did not
object to lords sitting in the locuse, bat he objected
to their net being the choice of the people, but m. rely the
nominees of the aristocracy. (Cheers.) Lord John Ruuell
said that the people of England had not sufficiently inei.
sated their desire to have reform; but he would ask whether
such meetirge as those which had taken rho* at Netting.
ham, Leeds, Ysrmouth, and other places, were not a sulfieitat
proof of what was the desire of the meas.. of the people of
England. He recommended the meeting to join the society of
Sir J. Wannsley, and also the Freehold Land Society, the
lamer of which be knew to be a most unezeeptionable

plan for the Impose erf enabling the labouring ;lasses to
share in that property to ',hien they w. re justly entitled,
sod to become t appy and dignified members of the commu-
nity. The chairman concluded by obsere.ng that they were
completely in the dark as to what were the reductions which
were t be made in the taxation of the people by the Cheet-
ah', of the Exchequer, who proposel to make his finanei ii
statement on the pith of this month, but he was psrfec,ly
sure that nothing would be done in that direction until the
taxation was alien off knowledge, fur it was that alone which
would teach the pe mls to pertorni their duty, sod moderately
to weer their rights. (C.seers )
Mr. TINDAL ATKINSON moved the first resolutioo, to
the effect, that this meeting convinced of the necessity of a
general agitation of the United Kingdon on the question of
parliamentary reform, with a view to an early cad universal
'Ravish,* of public opinion on that suhjrct, would record
its cordial and emphatic approval of the ;plait proposed by
the council of the National Association for that purpose, and
pledged itself to render immediate and t fficient co operation.
He la eloquent terms advised the people to throw off the
trammels of toryima and wt iggism, arid to fight their cause
until they succeeded in seeding to parliament men who
would vote for the hat akar.' of the community.
Mr. BRILLIBEER seconded the r. &elution, which was
serried isaanimously.
Sir JOSHUA WALSISLEY here presented himself to
the matinir, and was revived *Ph load cheers. Re stated
that he had just come from the House of Caimans, where
he had been eneared in voting for a reform bill
foe Ireland—(cheers); and then proceeded to pro-
pose the second resolution—namely, that the meeting
earnestly recommends to the friends of parliamentary Worm
throughout Great BTOSIn and the colonies to furnish prompt
and efficient sasistanes to the council of the N.ti nal Asso-
ciation, by the holding of seeetigge, the passing of resolutions,
the format on of committee*, the employment of local
agents, sad the tontributieg of funds.
Mr. WEIR reeonded the revolution, which was carried.
Mr. A. WALKER proposed the third resolution to the
effect that this met tang regards with feelings of heartfelt
satisfaction the proposition of holding a national coaterence
in London during the month of April next, and calls oa the
francs, of the movement in all parts of the country to astir
the council by 'theta" earnest reformers to represent them
at that important Recline. This having been also tarried,
and the usual vote of thanks to Vie chairman h iviem been
responded to the meeting, which was very numsrosuly
attended, separated.

ALLEGED MURDER AT BRlSTOL—Yesterday the
coroner's inquest on the body of Margaret Cully, who was
killed during the night of Saturday, by a man named Jo-
seph Prime, was c =mewed at the Dolphin, Merborough-
street, Bristol, before J. B. Grindon, Hq. The accused,
who is about 46 teen old, was present in eustndy. Mr. H.
A. Hon, house surgeon of the Infirmity, deposed that when
the deceased was brought to that iorirution, at about one
o'clock on Sunday mernirg, she was dead. Witness had
made • post Reorient 'Rumination of the body. Bru-
nelle then was a small wound on the head. our
the left temple, azd one over the left ego. Witness
'gunned the cavities, and was of enjoins that death was
caused by c alcuesion of the brain, the result of violence.
Caroline Davie lived at the house of Mre. Williams, Deep.
street, where deceased lodged. Oa Saturday dee. ed was
in good health. At about a quarter past one o'clock on the
night of Saturday witness was standing near the bu:cher'•
shop on St Jaw e's. Back, and Cully was a few yards from
her. The prisoner Prig; weal up to the deceased, and call.
lag her by some mars* name, maid, "I'll kill you for not
getting my shirt realy." He then kamke t her down, and
while on the ground kicked her twice. Deceased was Spey,
sad so was Peng. Hans Williams, wee of Daniel Welles'',
of Deep-street, *sambaed: Margaret Cully lodged with me.
She had been acquainted with Prigs 11 year*, and used to
warn his shirts for him. Oa Saturday deceased was in good
health. At half past nine o'clock that morning Prigs' came
to see her, and asked her it she would wart him a
shirt by one o'clock. She said she would do so, but after
wards took • glue or two of beer and went to sleep. He rune
for his shirt at between four and fir_ o'clock in the afternoon
and she was called down stairs to him. He said, " Have
you get my shirt finished ? " She 'tithed, No, Jliteph. I
have not." He then said, making 11110 of very impr,psr
language, "I'll be our batch. r beton Igo to bed." He
afterwards said. " I'll do It if I catch hold of her," and
went away. Trio deceased last left witness's house at about
nine o'clock that night. She was sober, and apparently in
good health. Richard Masters, of }•oa's court, labouring
man, stated that he was passing along St. James's Back,
at about one o'clock on Saturday night, and
saw the prisoner strike down a woman, hut was
not near enough to see whether he kicked her
or not. After he had kr.ocked her down he ren away.
Witness and some others helped up the woman, and finding
her insensible and blee ling conveyed her to the infirmary,
on her arrival at which the doctors pronounced hir to be
dead. A boy named West likewise deposed to feting
Prigs strsko the girl at an early part of the evening; she
did not then fall down, but followed the man down St.
Jamee's Back. This being the whole of the evidence the
coroner summed up, and tee jury, after a dust consultation,
returnd a verdict of manslaughter against Leech Prigg,
who was straightway committed on the coroner's warrant
for trial.

At Hambureh, on Tuesdev, business was very dull ;
