PUBLIC FEELING AT BATH.
' Bath Chronicle Office, Thursday Evening.
One
ever of the most interesting and spirit-stirring meetings which
hoop °°k Place in this city was held at the White Lion this after_
andfor the purpose of considering the best means of returning
Sanford, Esq. and Colonel Gore Langton to Parliament,
T. es far as possible, free of expence. The Chair was taken by
Ny.,s'''ngsburv, Esq. Brownlow, Esq.late Member for Armagh,

att. al terms, that a Committee was appointed to carry. into

eto,„t that their exertions, as far as Bath is concerned, will be
Gyred with complete success. The Secretaries are Mr. J. F.
alosTridge and Mr. Wm. Metford, whose exertions have been
bora. indefatigable. Nearly the whole of the solicitors and at-
sery.ffs of Bath have come forward and offered their gratuitous
I„4".ex to secure the return of Mr. Santbrd and Colonel Gore
honton. They have by this step covered themselves with lasting

Isl. ',lig feeling prevails against the other candidate, Mr. Tynte;
as, 'min his being opposed to Reform, for that has not been
inevrtained, but because he has declined explaining his senti-
-o,ts till the day of nomination, which is to be.the 9th M.ay.
tots' election takes place on the 11th. The attornies and solici-
chi" Taunton have also offered their gratuitous services in the
hi, e of Mr. Sanford, and the respected gentleman proposed as
and .e°lleague. At Shepton Mallett the freeholders
_have met
and 4eistrisolyed to go to the poll at their own expense. Other towns
the cts are daily manifesting the same feeling, and in short
sidanestion, " Who are to be the Members 9" may be con.
city ed as settled. To return, however, for a moment to this
inait_ Bath has been accused of being apathetical in political
this a`.ll ; the inhabitants are now giving convincing proofs that
their 's9tion is a libel on the intelligence and mind with which
(reit, etty abounds. It may be admitted and. much to their
pona...that they are not perpetually " fidgeting," like. some
11407.10ns with which I am acquainted, • about questions of
their nnPort and not worth discussing, but they have proved by
intere(B,2ndact on the present occasion, that whenever the great
eiitY or 's of the country are at stake, they will be second to no
.4fe tical9wn whatever in the independent manifestation of reso.
Polit feeling.
