GLOUCESTER-TUESDAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In consequence of the declaration of Lord John Rus-
sell on the question of Vote by Ballot, it has aroused the honest
men of Gloucester up ; and last night (Monday) our large
Shire Hall was filled at an early hour (six o'clock) to hear the
Ex-Member fur Stroud (Mr. Simonds) on the subject. Cap-
tain Harward, R. N., was in the chair. Never was so much
warmth felt in Gloucester on the subject. The meeting was
numerous, in spite of Tory attempts to oppose it. A petition
was agreed upon, and the meeting separated at ten o'clock,
fully and satisfactorily convinced that Vote b., Ballot is the
only protection for the interests of Gloucester and the country
generally. A CONSTANT READER.
Gloucester, Dec. 5, 1837.
P. S.—lt is of no use Lord John or Lord Any-body defend-
ing it ;it must be the law of the land. Three hundred names
were put to the petition before the meeting separated.
