REFORM MEETINGS.

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting was held tesday of this large parish in consequence
of two requisitions having been addrewed to the Churchwardens,
signed by upwards of 250 of the most respectable inhabitants, Mr.
Churchwarden Roaerersoiv in the Chair. •
Mr. PAM, read a string of resolutions which were to be pro_
sosed to the Meeting. He said some mighi think them too
strong in the language, but as he considered they spoke the
language of truth he thought they ought to pass.
Mr. COL LINSON Mooted the first resolution as follozrs ;
" That this meeting hats learned with greater indignation
han surovise, that the House of Lords has thrown out the Re-
Orm Bill, alt 4 deem it their indispensible duty to stigmatize
his conduct as the grossest insult upon his Majesty's Govern-
ment, by a handful, 9f imheciles, venal Peers, and titled paupers."
Phis was seconded by
Mr. GRADY, who presented himself to the meeting, and in.
.lulged himself in a long attack on the Government, who, he said,
v ere not sincere. He equally hated the Tories, and from the
enour of his speech he appeared to think, like Mr. Cobbett,
that only himself eould properly manage the State affairs.
Mr. WARBURTON, M.P. gave his assent to the whole of the
resolutions which he had heard read.
Mr. SLEIGH considered that the resolution in the latter part
/rag too strongly worded.
A long debate then took place, when the resolution was
emended as follows, all after the word " Government" was left
,ut, and " the people of this country" added, when it passed
unanimously.
Mr. NICHOLSON proposed the second resolution as follows :
" That we deeply regret the practice of bestowing hereditary
Peerages upon Judges, and that, notwithstanding their tithes,
the Bishops should be permitted to vote, thus blending secular
.vith spiritual affairs, and legislative with judicial, admitting
them into the vortex of political intrigue, to procure pensions for
heir heirs, and sinecures for the rest of their families."
This was seconded, and also passed unanimously.
Other resolutions were agreed to expiessive of confidence in
he. Ministry, a letter of thanks to them was also agreed to, and
in address to his Majesty.

BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.
( THIS DAY.)
At one o'clock to.day a very numerous meeting of electors of
Southwark, convened by the High Bailiff, in consequence of a
requisition signed by 170 of the most respectable inhabitants of
the borough, was held at the Tewn.hall, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the present alarming state of public
tfairs, and of adopting such measures as might be deemed ad.
visable."

In consequence of the illness of the High Bailiff, Mr. ELLIS
took the Chair. Both the Members for the Borough, Messrs.
Calvert and Brougham, were present."
The Chairman opened the business of the meeting by a very
neat speech, adverting to the present state of the country, caused
by the rejection of the Reform Bill, and trusted that the people
would preserve peace and good order, as the means of ultimately
ensuring the final passing of the B111.—(Loud cheer.)
(We regret that a very great pressure of intiportant matter
prevents our giving a detailed report of the speeches up to the
time our reporter left.',
Mr. LONGMOR) proposed the first resolution, which
stated that the meeting viewed with feelings of the greatest
grief, astonishment, and indignation, the recent rejection of
the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, which had been carried
through the House of Commons by a large majority, and which
was grounded on the wishes and desires of nine.tenths of the
people of the United Kingdom.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. TRUSCOTT seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
Mr. LOCKE proposed the second resolution, declaring that the
majority—the 199 Peers—had forfeited the good opinions of the
people, as evincing a determination to support that corruption by-
which they protected their relations and dependents in the pos-
session of sinecures and pensions at the expense of the country.
Mr. DAVIS having seconded the resolution, it was carried
amidst loud cheering.
Mr. AR PTHORP proposed the third resolution, stating that it
was essential to the peace and well-being of the country, that a
Bill similar to the last should be introduced into Parliament, and
that to effect such a desirable object his Majesty be prayed to ex-
ercise all the powers and prerogatives which the Clown enjoyed.
This resolution was also carried unanimously.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCAG

Quebcc Papers to the 18th September, and Montreal to the
21st, have been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house.

(From the Quebec Paper of the 17th September.)
Eight of the unfortunate passengers of the Lady Sistrbrook,
which lately suffered shipwreck on the coast of Newfoundland,
presented themselves yesterday to the Emigrant Society at Mon..
treal, to be forwarded to Upper Canada. One of them, a man of
€0 years of age, lost his wife and all his children, seven in number.
These passengers assert that the Captain and mate were both in
a state of beastly intoxication ; the Captain, particularly, was
obliged to be carried to bed by three men on the evening of the
fatal calamity.
The Montreal Papers contain no news of consequence.
It appears by the French Papers that extraordinary exertions
are making at the entrenched camp at Antwerp, under the direc-
tion of three French officers, on the plan executed by the Spa-
niards in the year 1500.

The French Papers state—We are assured that the treaty of
peace between Belgium and Holland has been decided on by the
conference iri London, which has given to the King of Holland
Limberg and most part of the Duel y of Luxemburg.
