ST. LEONARD'S, BROMLEY.

On Saturday a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St.
took place in the Vestry Room for the eur-
'finisters in carrying Reform.
The chair was taken by THOMAS DRAKE, Esq.
Gentlemen addressed the meeting, and in the result a
Sever,
of resolutions were agreed to, to the effect that the long
series of
i abuses in the representation had occasioned general aitti
greatex distress, and consequent discontent.
That the. c abuses called for Reform, as the only means of
averting from the country great and lamentable disorder.
oirsenoafrsdi'isp,
That the Bill now brought in appeared well adapted to correct
pnOrrt°ilnngle
these abuses, and that the gratitude of the nation is due to our
beloved anti gracious Sovereign for sanctioning, and to his Mi-
nisters for bringiifg' forward, a measure so necessary, and so
calculated to uphold alike the Throne and the Constitution. Under
this conviction they pledge themselves to support the proposed
Bill to the utmost of their power, and to cordially join their fel-
low-countrymen in all constitutional means for obtaining its be-
ing passed into a law. . .
That the assertion made by the opponents of the measure that
the people do not require Reform, is wholly untrue, .and this
meettnq appeal to their countrymen at large to prove its falsity,
by coming forward promptly, and recording to a man their opi-
nion by petitions to both Houses of Parliament and, if necessary,
W the Throne.

—The petition to the Lords it was agreed should be entrusted to
earl Grey, and that to the Commons to Lord John Russell.
The meeting then separated.
