REFORM.

Artatacn.---It is with no common degree of eatisfac-
tion, that we refer to a meeting of the parish of Armagh,
held chiefly for the purpose of petitioning the House. of
Commons for vote by ballot. The people of Armagh
have roused themselves to a new life. The borough is as
rile a close borough as the United Kingdom can exhibit;
but the lustre of the new-born spirit is only the brighter
irons the contrast with the citadel of cortuptinn which an
unjust system has reared among them. Would that every
close borough and close county in Ireland, could only feel
the insult of election mockery as the independent men of
Armagh have done; and that the reaction might be as
overwhelming. -...../Votthern Whig.
Ktatarnv.—lt i• toperted that a petition for Parlia-
mentary Reform is about to be got up by our Chamber of
Commerce. This is just as it shook' be, and only what
might be expected front the members of that body. Whe-
ther our Magistrates and Town Council will follow the
example is yet unknown; but if the unequivocal response
which they, in common with their fellow townsmen, gave
to all manner of liberal and enlightened opinions at a late
publio dinner, WAS not a mere momentary fit of enthu-
siasm, there is hope of them yet bestirring themselves.
At all events, if they do not, others will. The necessity
of reform is not less felt here than elsewhere ; and any
body veto tnay choose to take the trouble of framing a pe-
tition will find no scarcity of respectable signatures.*

soon as possible a general meeting of the
inhabitants of Perth will be called, in order to petition for
Parliamentary Reform. Let the sons of the Fair City, in
conducting these highly critical and important &Mire,
manifest their reputed intellectuality, and moat scrnpu-
lously avoid any appearance of riot.-•-x)undec Advertiser.
MECUM—The petitions for Parliamentary and ho.
rough reform, noticed last week, were forwarded in terms
of the resolutions. The petitions were signed by between
500 and 600 inhabitant' end burgesses.

The Leslie Political Union still continues to receive al

litions to the number of its members. Already they
amount to upwards of le°. Since the notice given in
this paper of the formation of a Political Union. here, the:
Leslie Secretary has written to the president of the Bit—
mingham Political Union, Thomas Attwood, Biat.,.reqUist-
ing him to have the kindness to forward to him such Infor-
mation as might failitate the attainment of their common
object ; and received in answer from Mr. Attwood a must
polite and encouraging letter, enclosing a copy of.the tithe
and regulations of the Birmingham Union, in which, be- '
sides referring him for the desired information to a num-
ber
of most reepectable private individuals, be mentioned
particularly Aitkinann and Co., booksellers, Glasgow, who
sell their reports, &c. We wish from our heart, success
to this and all similar Unions, for to us they appear to bit
the most steady, rational, and effective means yet called
into action to produce that much-to-be-desired end, a ra-
tional reform in the Commons House of .-..
