MEETING of MERCHANTS, BANKERS, &c.

( Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.)
Mr. Alderman W A ITH MAN rose, not for the purpose of con.
fitting any thing which had been advanced by the last speaker,
because in his opinion what had been said by him. required no
confutation; but he was very sorry that the meeting had not
heard him so patiently as he (the Alderman) wished, for the
enemies of Reform might say that our cause was bad, because
we would not hear their reasons against our plan. The Worthy
Alderman went at length into his opinion on the Bill, and then
continued. It had been said in the House of Commons that
after the passing of the present Bill the people would have no
security for our most valued institutions ; it had even been said
by an eminent lawyer, an Ex-Attorney-General, that after this
Bill had become law, even the trial by jury would not safe.—
Did such absurd assertions as these require any furth beer notice
than contempt ?—(No, no.) He was glad that the meeting agreed
with him. The Bill would place all our institutions on a firmer
basis. Much had been said about using menaces to the House of
Lords. He wished to do no such tiling ; but there was one fear
which he wished to impress upon them, that was the fear of
doing wrong. The Worthy Alderman concluded amidst great
cheering.
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
The petition having been read by the Lord Mayor,
JOHN WELLS, Esq., rose to move that the petition be
adopted. He had been a Reformer for fifty years, and had been
in the House of Commons for ten years, where he saw the state
of corruption in which the present system worked, and he was
convinced then that such a time as the present would soon come.
The present Bill did not go quite s o far as he could wish, but
still he supported it honestly and earnestly.
The motion, having been seconded, was put, and carried una.
nimously.
A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for his conduct in the
Chair, was then passed with great acclamation.
His LORDSHIP having returned thanks, the meeting broke
up at twenty minutes to four o'clock.
