BEDFORD (BOROUGH.)

In it former report of the proceedinge of this elec-
tion, it was mentioned that the interest of Lord
John Russell had been materially injured among the
Methodists of the place, by a misrepresentation of
the consequences which would follow the adoption
of that kind of religious liberty of which he has so
long been the zealous advocate. This having be-
come known to certain of the members of tine Con-
ference in London, they took an early opportunity
of communicating to Lord John Rlllll4Oll their regret
at the misrepresentation which had been circulated
of his opinions.

and laughter.)
Mr. WELLESLEY next came forward, and was
loudly cheered. He would tell Mr. Tyrell who his
(Mr. Wellesley's) father was, and how he had got
1,2001. a year. When very young his father entered
the navy, and at the age of l 4 he jumped over-
board in a gale of wind anti saved the life of a gal-
lant sailor, who to this day :was a pensioner of his.
—(Loud cheers.)—At twenty years old he was
first Lieutenant to Admiral Cornwallis. At that
time a relation of the family (Mr. Pole), a gentle-
man who had an estate of 15,000/. a year, offered it
to his father if he would remain with him—he would
leave him heir to his whole estate. To which his
brave father, in the plain and rough but honest lan-
guage of a young sailor said—as his now grey-headed,
though not very old son hoped he would have said
ender similar circumstances—" be if I do."
—(Cheers and laughter.)—He went to sea again,
and one fine morning there came a letter giv-
ing an account of the death of Mr. Pole, and
that he had left his fattier his estate. He
came home, and soon after married his honoured
mother, the daughter of the brave Admiral Forbes,
the only man who had the honesty and firmness to
refuse to sign the death-warrant of Admiral Byng.
—(Cheers.)—He must say, then, that he should
consider the county of Essex quite as much honoured
in sending to Parliament the descendant of such a
father and mother, as in sending the Gallant Colonel
or his Whig supporter.—(Cheers.)—The Hon.
Gentleman then proceeded to describe the circum-
stances of his father's connections with Mr. Pitt,
through the Marquis of Wellesley, the several public
employments which he successively held, his service
in the Ordnance, in the Admiralty, of which he was
Secretary, and his services as Secretary in Ireland,
in all of which he had discharged his duties with
such zeal and assiduity as to call forth the approba-
tion of his Sovereign and his 'Ministers. Mr. Pitt
once said of him, that he was one of the bonestest
men in the country, and the most active and efficient
in the public service. He envied not the feelings of
Quintin Dick, who, in promoting Mr. Tyrell to
speak about his family, had not the manliness to
whisper to him how and why his honoured father
got the title of Lord Maryborough anti the place of
Master of the Buckhounds. His father, during the
rebellion in Ireland, took an active part in the service
of his country, and it was his volunteers which had
pierced the centre of the enemies' forces at Vinegar-
hill, and by taking a military position near the town
of Maryborough, succeeded in defeating a large por-
tion of the enemy. In consequence of this, the inha-
bitants of Maryborough, when he was about to be
called to the Peerage, requested him to take his title
from that town.—(Cheers.).—A voice in the crowd,
I' What do you thing of that, Squinting Dick ?" Mr.
Wellesley then went on to detail the part his father
took in public affairs until he became a Cabinet Mi-
nister,and the very valuable essistance his counsel and
advice had given to the operations of the army
under his victorious brother in Spain, up to the
time when, by a letter under the hand of Geo. IV.,
who was anxious to have about him those whom he
had long known, and in whom he could confide, in-
vited him to accept the situation of Master of the
Buck Hounds—an appointment which had then, as
on many former occasions, been the result of dis,
tinguished public services. His fathees salary,
whether it was 1,2001., or 3,0001., or 6,000/.
a-year, was as honourably earned as that of any
public man in the country, without exception. The
lion. Gentleman then went on to state, that it was
his intention to go on with the contest to the last.
—( Loud cheers.)
Mr. T. B. LENNARD wer extremely sorry that
such language had been used to Mr. Western, and
felt bound to request Mr. Wellesley to recall it.
Mr. WELLESLEY with Mr. Western's private cha-
racter had nothing to do ; but he thought his poli-
tical conduct was as abominable, wicked, and base
as any man's could be.—(Cheers and hisses.)
Mr. T. 13. I,croann was glad that Mr. Wellesley
had disclaimed any thing personally offensive, as it
had relieved him and his friends from a very unplea-
sant situation.

Mr. 'WELLESLEY would go still further; and if
be had said any thing personally offensive to Mr.
Western, he begged his pardon.—(Cheers, and cries
of " Bravo !")
The Ustmt SHERIFF then adjourned the Court,
and stated that the polling would commence each
day at ten o'clock, and terminate at five.

SUFFERERS BY nip. FRENCH REVO.

LUTION.

Yesterday a numerous and respectable meeting
of the parishioners of St. Marylebone was held at
Marks' Carriage Repository, Regent-street, for the
purpose of expressing their approbation of the he-
roic, wise, and temperate conduct of the French
people, and for enter►ng into a subscription to relieve
the widows and orphans of those who have fallen
so nobly in the lute struggle.
Soon after one o'clock Mr. IlusiE, the Member
for Middlesex, was unanimously voted to the Chair.
The business commenced by reading a requisition
signed by several respectable householders, in which
the parish officers were called upon to convene a
meeting for the above purpose. The Churchwar-
dens haring refused to comply with the requisition,
the meeting was held in Mr. Marks' extensive pre-
mises.

Mr. liusty. said the requisition had been ad-
dressed to Sir P. Laurie, Churchwarden of Rho
parish, and Sir Peter had forwarded to him the fol-

lowing 110,0:-...-
" Sir I'. Laurie, u an individual, would most wit-
tingly have held a meeting at the desire of the parishioners,
had he found a precedent for lt. Upon inquiry, he found
there was no precedent to justify a Churchwarden holding
a political meeting, and he was unwilling to take on him-
self the responsibility of calling the meeting."
Mr.fiUMF: also said that he had received another
letter from Sir P. Laurie--

"Iv 01:4a my reason for not ceiling the
meeting it omitted in the placard, I *hall feel obliged by
your stating hi the meeting that when Colonel Jones
galled on me on grant-day I %toed, that I would willingly
comply with the requisition if he could show me a pre-
cedent of a Churchwarden calling a meeting fora political
purpose. We called on the Vestry Clerk, who said there
Wee no precedent for it."
_ _

Mr. lion having read the above, observed, that
the meeting won'd see that Sir Peter Laurie, in the
exercise of that discretion vested in him as a church.
warden, was not authorized to do what he was
CSIBO on to do. That point being disposed of, they
might proceed to the business of the meeting. tie"
fore those who had called the meeting submitted
several resolutions which they had a right to submit,
he should take the liberty of saying a few words on
tins important subject. lie was happy to have the
opportunity before be left Landon of stating his
opinion upon the recent events in France ; for in
the whole course of his public conduct, in "Naha.
(nem anti Out of Parliament, his constant object had
been the welfare of the community at large, anti the
preservation of those rights the people were entitled
to enjoy. Entertaining such views, it was impos-
sible for him to see passing events in France with.
out feeling in common with every Briton, and the
whole civilized world, the highest satisfaction, Ile
thought they ought to take the earliest means of
expressing the high opinion they held of the
heroic staid made by the French people.—(Loud
applause.)—it had established a feet of the highest
importance to all classes of the community. fhey
bad sects a ginriktwg revolution, achieved without
danger to public property-,without unnecessary
bloodshed'se.witliout those scenes which at one time
in France excited so much horror. There was no
lossger any reason to say, a revolution will bring
back scenes which in 1793 disgraced France. They
i had befote theyimportant twhich n an even never

people rescuing their rights with moderation and
eould be forgotten ; they had seen an oppressed
forbearance, and thereby supporting the freedom of
every man in every State.—(Huzza 1)—All Go-
vernments were intended for the benefit of the coal-
mnnity for the benefit of those who are governed.
In this country we had a limited monarchy, in which
as well as in every system of government, there
was a compact between the governed and the go-
vernors, and when Governments abuse the power
entrusted to them by the people, it is the duty of
the people to deprive them of it.—(Applause.)—
The people of England in 1688, took upon them.;
selves that power, and drove from the throne a Mo-
narch who wished to enslave and deprive them of
their rights. France had followed our example, and
every man must approve of the means by which
their liberty had been achieved.---(Huaza.)—France
was made a limited monarchy. After a long struggle
the Bourbons were restored. A charter was given,
and a fair agreement between the King and the
people was duly executed. The people of France
on every occasion observed the terms of the char-
ter. Liberal were their supplies to the Crown,
and they resolved to support to the utmost tittle
the conditions of the charter; but what had
been the conduct of the Crown and Govern-
ment ? Fifteen years bad expired since that
charter was given ; and every observer of pass-
ing events knew, that during that time there
had been a constant endeavour on the part
of the French Court to encroach on the liber-
ties of the people.--(Huzza).—What had been
the consequence ? The people rose in defence
of their liberties, and the result had been miraculous.
As if by one feeling of assent, not only in Paris, but
in every part of the country, the people rose and
overthrew their tyrants.—(Applause.)—Had it not
been for the strict sense of military duty which in
some instances was felt, the Revolution might have
been accomplished without the loss of a single life.
Then came the astonishing conduct of the French;
they had shown moderation and forbearance un-
exampled in history. It was heroic. Had they not
seen the men who twenty-four hours before had at-
tempted to degrade France, and slaughter her inha-
bitants, allowed to depart the country free from
injury ? Such conduct raised the French character
high in the scale of nations. Mr. Hume concluded
by observing that the resolutions would be proposed,
and his hope was that every individual who addressed
them might have a fair hearing.—(Applause,)
Colonel Jo urs rose to move the first resolution,
and expressed the pleasure he felt on finding him-
self surrounded by so many friends of public free-
dom. He was happy to hail the love of liberty in
France. The fact was, the Revolution of 1793 had
led to the diffusion of light and knowledge, which
prevailed against all opposition.—(Cheers.)—lt had
led to the establishment of schools, which took the
youth of France from the bands of priests, and
placed them in the hands of men. The late attempts
made to enslave the people, proved that Kings
might commit high treason against their subjects.
Liberty bad conquered in France—but she would
not be confined to France. She would cross the
Pyrenees, and send Ferdinand once more to em-
broider petticoats.—(A laugh.)—Happily also for
mankind the monster Miguel would be driven from
Lusitania.—(Applause.) He begged leave to quote
from a pamphlet he himself had written. He had
said that resistance was justified, against a govern-
ment which rejected the extension of human intel-
lect, and abandoned the interests of the people. A
country could not be considered the property of
Kings—subjects were not beasts, and could not be
removed from one feeding ground to another. The
rights of society were now well understood, and an
enlightened people must be free.—(Applause.)...—
Why had the conduct of Frenchmen been so much
better in the recent revolution than it was in 1793
and 1794; ? Because France had obtained more
knowledge and better institutions. When slaves
broke their chains tyrants must tremble. They
knew they ought to be crushed, bemuse they had
made man unlit for social duties.—(Applause.)-
I,ook at the rising youth of France. The youth of
the Polytechnique School had been placed under
that clever man the Dauphin—but little had they
derived from his system. How had they conducted
themselves ? They had been able and willing to
lead on the people in defence of their liberty.
France and England once free would spread consti-
tutional liberty over the world.—lt was fortunate
for the people of England that they had a King who
was riot bred a soldier, because he (Colonel Jones)
knew that it was a profession at variance with
liberty.—(Loud applause.)—His hope was, that the
example of the parish of Marylebone would be
followed by every parish in England, and prove a
lesson to the Minister of England, who now holds
the helm of affairs. That Minister would learn
public opinion, and act accordingly. The time for
the expression of public feeling had arrived, and it
should be expressed. The cowardly wretched King
of France had not sufficient courage to remain after
lie had shed the blood of his subjects. Charles the
Tenth was wise enough to run when be saw blood
flow. lie was sorry to say men were to be found
who defended the conduct of the French Govern-
ment. He had lately been told by a country clergy-
man that the French revolution was to be dreaded,
because it would support the principles of Mr.
Hume, and reduce tithes. Col. Jones concluded by
moving the first resolution :
" Resolved,—That it becomes the freemen of
England to hail with delight the triumph of consti-
tutional freedom in France; that we rejoice in the
renewed unction which has thus been given to those
sacred principles, under whose influence our fore-
fathers relieved themselves and their children from
the yoke of an oppressive and degrading tyranny,
end earnestly desire that the Glorious Revolution,'
which has been effected by the splendid and heroic
exertions of the French people may terminate in
their permanent liberty, prosperity, and happiness."
Mr. Tuostesorr, a student, seconded the resolu-
tion. Ile declared himself the warm advocate of
liberty, anti held out to public odium the tyranny
exercised in Foreign Universities, where, he said,
men of profligate habits were sent by interest only
to fill the chews of Theology, and made Pastors to
the great injury of the country. The Pope, who
called himself Vicegerent of our Saviour, had lately
sent s diamond crown to Miguel, that withered
wretch in his heat t, because he was the best Ca-
tholic King on earth. It was the duty of every
Englishman to support France, and oppose all who
would hew down men for expressing sentiments of
freedom which God had placed in their hearts.
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
Mr. SAVAGE, a parishioner, said he had received
a letter from a lady in Paris, who spoke of the late
events in that capital with admiration. She called
it a Pattern Revolution.—( leugh.)_.,.)tilr, Savage
moved the second resolution.
" Resolved, That we desire to convey to the in-
habitants of Paris our admiration of the courage and
forbearance which they have so signally displayed
during the lute important struggle---virtues, than
which nothing brighter is to be found in the pages of
history, and which will be preserved in living
remem-
brance, so long as civic heroism is held in honour."
Mr. THORN, a schoolmaster, residing in the parish,
seconded the resolution, and made au eloquent appeal
to the meeting. Ile said he should be unworthy
the name of an Englishman if he did not commend
the conduct of the people of France. If called upon
to give the palm for any distinguished pert of their
conduct, he should give it to the moderation which
they displayed after the revolution. No sooner was
the standard of triumph raised upon the rescued
ruins of liberty, than the sword of victory was
sheathed, The deeds of the day were glorious.
Babes unborn of heroic deed, will tell,
And West. the battle where their lather, fell.
Who could be so cold in the cause of public liberty
as to refuse his tribute of respect to the brave who
had died for their country ? " Think," said Mr.
Thorn, of the aged matron weeping over the
mangled remains of her son, and wilt whether she
did not long for revenge. Regard the afflicted sire
checking parental tears over his murdered son. Look

at the streets of Paris, teeming with the Ado of
its citizens, and ask whether the population who re.
vived the shock did not require revenge ? Yet they
were calm : the blood of the guilty did not flow.
But the cause of these horrid measures will be pu-
nished—he will he the victim of a guilty conscience
—he will wander over the world loathed and de-
tested, whilst the finger of scorn shall be pointed by
every honest man, until he sinks into the cavern
grave unpitied and unwept--(Loud cheering.)
Not so the brave who nobly fell ; for as long as
memory and the best feelings of our nature shall
flourish in man—so long as liberty shall be relied
on as something more than a name—so long as pity
holds a seat in English hearts—so long as we know
the great God of Hosts will not let his creatures
fall victims to the ambition of men—so long shall
humanity and honour praise those who bled and
fell in the cause of freedorn."—(Loud and conti-
nued applause.)

Mr. WARDEN praised the artizans of Paris, by
whom the great resistance to despotism had been
made. It was the working people of Paris who
had fought in defence of their country.—(Applause.)
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
Mr. BUCKINGIIASI stood forward to propose the
next resolution :

" Resolved, That the public press of France has
entitled itself to the gratitude of mankind, by the
persevering firmness with which, under such extra-
ordinary circumstances of discouragement, difficulty,
and danger, it has advocated and sustained the cause
of the people."
When he received, late the preceding evening, an
invitation from the Committee, as an inhabitant of
the parish to take part in these proceedings, he felt
honoured. High as the individuals residing in that
parish might be, none could be found whose hearts
reverberated more than his to the sound of freedom.
The resolution had been auspiciously placed in his
hands, because it related to the press. Most gentle-
men knew that he had been connected with the
press, and therefore lie was competent to decide
how it ought to circulate, unfettered by oppression.
A part of the press of this country had expressed
some dread of the revolution in France, and when
he said that, he alluded to what might be termed a
pitied minority, for certainly the great tide
of talent which distinguished the press, was de-
cidedly favourable to the bold struggle made by the
Parisians. The objection was, that the revolution
in France would make inroads into the established
institutions and property of this country. He should
contend that the late events in France were the best
guarantee of property.—(Applause.)—Some years
since the Government of India resorted to the
means which had been used in France to crush the
press, and, finding no resistance, they gained the
victory. Taking the press to be the organ of com-
munication between mind displayed in every country,
it was the worst oppression of Governments to sus-
pend it.--(Applause.)—The advantages of the
press were peculiarly obvious in the late transac-
tions in Paris. If the Editors of French journals
had given way to the mandate of the Government,
the press of the provinces would sot have dene their
duty, and the revolution must have been retarded.
The press brought millions of minds in contact, and
in the messure they then had in view all France,
through the medium of the press and the gentlemen
there taking notes, would understand that English-
men sympathized in their sorrows.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. COOK seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. JACKSON then moved, " That as we deem the
best interests of every nation to be identified with
the happiness of its neighbours, we would therefore
cordially promote their welfare, and we observe with
real satisfaction the gradual extinction of all narrow
national jealousies and rivalry, and exult in the rapid
progress of liberty throughout the world."
Seconded by Mr. BARKER, and carried.
Mr. Pornut moved that a subscription be opened
for the relief of the sufferers at Paris.—Carried.
Mr. SAVAGE submitted another resolution, namely
—" That the resolutions be signed by the Chair-
man, and transmitted to the Mayor and Municipality
of Paris." He said he had intended to move the
thanks of the meeting to the five regiments of the
line for refusing to fire en their fellow-citizens at the
command of their officer, and to have the proceed-
ings published in two of the most public journals in
Paris, but he understood the Committee had made
provision for transmitting the resolutions to M. La-
fayette.

The resolution having been seconded by Mr.
CROPT, was carried.

Thanks were then toted to Messrs. Marks and
son for the use of their premises.
Colonel JONES finally moved the thanks of the
meeting to Mr. Hume for his able conduct in the
chair, and that gentleman returned thanks.
The meeting was then dissolved, and a subscrip-
tion collected at the doors.
The proceedings throughout were conducted with
the greatest decorum.
