In compliance with a requisition addressed to the Church-
wardens of the parish of Christchurch, Surrey, signed by nu.
merous respectable inhabitants, a meeting was held at the
British and Foreign Society, opposite the workhouse, at six
o'clock on Friday evening ; Mr. P. DAN irs, Churchwarden, its

the Chair. Several reso•utions were proposed, censuring, in
strong terms, the manner in which the Bill on Reform was re-
jected by the Lords, expressing an opinion that the Bishops had
violated the great principles of Christianity by their recent vote,
and avowing the undiminished contidecce of the meeting in the
wisdom and patriotism of his Majesty's Ministers. A petition
was then read, praying his Majesty to exercise his prerogative in
such a manner as, In his

LEEDS.

The first feeling that prevailed in this town on the arrival of
the intelligence that the Reform Bill had been rejected by Hie
House of Lords, was that of consternation at the largeness of the
majority ; the next, that of amazement at the infatuation of the
Peers ; and these were speedily followed by a strong determina-
tion to support the Ministers and their measures by every con-
stitutional means, and to the very uttermost, against the bo-
roughmongers. In anticipation of the Bill being lost, a tolerably
numerous meeting of Reformers had appointed a Sub-Commit-
tee to draw up addresses to his Majesty and to Earl Grey ; and
two spirited and eloquent addresses were in consequence pro-
duced ; the former beseeching his Majesty to retain and require
the services of the upright Ministers who have had the daring
and integrity to consult the will, the wishes, and the interests,of
the people, in introducing and promoting the Bill for Parlia-
inentary Reform, and praying his Majesty to be pleased 'to avail
himself of his royal prerogative, and with his characteristic tinn-
ness to adopt such measures as might be found necessary to ac-
complish an object in the fate of which the country is involved;
and the latter entreating Earl Grey never, except by the com-
mand of his Majesty, to quit the helm of State until his mighty
work of obtaining a Reformed Parliament for the people was ac-
complished, accompanied by a soleazn pledge to stand by the ex-
isting Administration, and by the Bill, to its consummation.
These addresses were printed, and preparations made for receiv-
ing signatures on Saturday, and early on Monday morning they
were exposed at the Mercury Office, the Commercial buildings,
and in many other parts of the borough. So great and unprece-
dented was the public excitement, that the prodigious number
of '20,475 persons signed the addresses ; and they were de-
spatched to London by the Glasgow mail, to be presented by the
county Members.—Leeds Mercury.

thiETER, OCT. 15.

In accordance to a requisition to the Mayor, signed by 106 of
the most respectable inhabitants, a meeting took place this day,
for the purpose of " taking into consideration the best means to
be adopted in support of the King and his Ministers, in this im-
portant crisis, in consequence of the House of Lords having re-
jected the Reform Bill." The Right Worshipful the Mayor took
the chair. Sir H. P. Davies, Bart., with much eloquence, moved
the address to his Majesty, which expressed a loyal devotion to
his person and the utmost confidence in his Ministers. It was
seconded by Captain Buller, who exhorted the meeting above all
things not to in any way break the peace, but added, that he did
not by his exhortation, for a moment advocate that peace which
implied non.resistance to oppression, or passive obedience to in-
justice. Colonel Molesworth, who enjoys a pension from the
East India Company, proposed an amendment. He declared
himself a warm advocate for Reform, but, on saying the Bill had
been nobly resisted in the House of Lords, groans and hisses
burst from nearly the entire multitude. Mr. Stennaway, in
order, as ha said, if possible to unite the citizens on this impor-
tant occasion, moved another amendment, which only went to
express disapprobation of the franchise being given to 101. house-
holders. A third amendment was proposed on the second, to the
purport that those who were disfranchised, by being below the
proposed rental, should be exempt from all taxation. This, evi.
dently intended to catch the applause of the multitude, was only
hailed as a trap, and was not seconded. The amendments ss ere
lost by a large majority, and on the original address being put
seven hands only were held up against it, and four of those were
Parsons. Counsellor Tyrrell addressed the meeting with much
ability. He gave an epitome of those Lords who had voted
against the Bill—first commenting on the twenty-one holders of
boroughs, and secondly on the twenty-one Reverend Bishops.
Of the latter, he said they put him in mind of an old lady of his
acquaintance, very shrewd in her way, but who, although en-
joying:wealth, health, and every comfort, was still very unhappy,
fearing a change, and most sensibly fearing also that no change
could do her any good. J. W. Buller, Esq., M.P. for the city,
was present, and on thanks being voted to him for his able and
consistent support of his Majesty's Ministers, addressed his con-
stituents in a very powerful speech, expressive of his full confi-
dence of the ultimate success of the measure so insolently re-
jected by the House of Lords. It was one of the fullest city
meetings ever known, the Guildhall being crowded almost to
suffocation. The known Reformers were loudly greeted with
cheers as they entered the Hall ; and cheers were repeatedly
given for his Majesty and his Ministers. Three groans were
given for the Bishop, for Lord Rolle, and for Mr. Buck, the
other Member for the city, who however was not present. The
Mayor having declared the meeting dissolved, the multitude dis-
persed in the utmost order.

ROYAL PREROGATIVE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Stn,—As the public mind is now so much alive to the neces-
sity of an increase in the number of Peers, and as many of your
readers may wish to ascertain to what extent the Crown's prero-
gative has been usually exercised in that respect, I will thank
you for insertion of the following :
From collections now lying before me, I am enabled to form
a calculation on this subject; and do find that, from the death of
James 1., in 1623, to the Revolution of 1688, upwards of 173
Peerages were granted by the Crown ; and that, from the year
1688 (when, as some would have it, our Constitution was settled,
and the prerogative restricted), to the accession of his late Ma-
jesty George IV., 575 Peerages were conferred, including ad-
vances and special remainders.
The total number thus granted by the Crown amounts to 748,
and though this calculation excludes all Scotch and Irish• titles,
as also all those persons who were called by writ to the Upper
House within that period, and though many creation patents
may have been lost, or at least never enrolled, and others, indeed
several others, may probably have escaped close research, still,
however, we have an average of upwards of 93 English Peerages
conferred by each of the eight Monarchs who occupied the
throne between the years 1623 and 1821.
The collections on which I ground the above average were
made by me from the recorded evidence of creation patents, and
such documents in the several public departments, and it must
be satisfactory thus to find, by indisputable data, that his Ma-
jesty can yield to the pressure of a great national exigency, not
only without exceeding the bounds prescribed by the long esta-
blished usage and practice of his predecessors, but also without
exhausting those favours to which the eminent and deserving
must be always thought entitled.—l am, Sir, &c.
Jermyn-street, St. James's. W. L.
• Of Irish Peerages alone there were upwards of 100 created in
each reign from Charles I. to George 11.

LORD WHARNCLIFFE.

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
The following document, signed by about three-fourths of the
First Doncaster Troop of the Southern Regiment of West Riding
Yeomanry Cavalry, was transmitted to Lord Wharncliffe, the
commander of that regiment, on Thursday last, and would be
received by his Lordship yesterday morning. Similar memorials
are in course of signature from the other eleven troops of Lord
Wharncliffe's regiment, namely, Wakefield, Pontefract, Barns-
ley, two Sheffield, Rotheram, Keaveton, Wentworth, Hatfield,
Tickhill, and second Doncaster. This is a proceeding of more
weight than even the opinions of the shopkeepers in Bond-street
quoted so prematurely by his Lordship, and will effectually con-
vince him under how great an error he was labouring when he
declared in the House of Lords, that he did not, in his con-
science, believe that the great mass of the people were in favour
of the Reform Bill :"
. To the Right Hon. Lord Wharncliffe, Colonel Commandant
of the Southern Regiment of West Riding Yorkshire Yeo-
manry Cavalry,
We, the undersigned members of the troop of Yeomanry
Cavalry, with undiminished loyalty to our gracious Sovereign,
with increasing zeal and anxiety for the peace, welfare, and hap-
piness of our country, as staunch advocates for the Bill of Re-
form (as passed by the Commons House of Parliament), being
anxious to continue our services to the country at this fearful
crisis of the nation's affairs, feel we cannot consistently continue
those services under the command of one so diametrically op.
posed to our sentiments and t,he best interests of our country.
We therefore respectfully hope, that when your Lordship per-
ceives that you have forfeited the confidence of your troops, you
will also perceive the propriety of resigning the command, that
our services, however inefficient, may be continued under the
command of another, whose sentiments and wishes are more in
unison with our own, as with those of the great majority of the
nation."

CITY, TWELVE O' CL 0 CK.
A Jamaica mail has arrived after a quick passage, saihd
on the 13th September. Papers to the above date have
been received at the North and South American Coffee-
house.

(From the Jamaica Paper of the 12th September.)
A smart shock of an earthquake was felt in this city at
seven o'clock yesterday morning.
(From the Paper of the Bth September.)
We understand when the packet left Carthagena every
thing was quiet. General Flores has sent troops from
Bogota against Panama, which bad declared the Isthmus
independent of Colombia ; 300 men had sailed from Car-
thagena to aid the Panamians; and on the day the Duke of
York arrived at Carthagena, Lugue, with 400 men, had
sailed sailed fur Panama to protect the inhabitants from
the marauders, commanded by Flores. At Bogota there had
been disturbances. Obando and Cassare opposed each other
in an attempt for the supremacy, :and no doubt another
revolution will be the consequence ; but these are so fre-
quent as to excite no sort of interest. The inhabitants
having neither capital or credit, they have decreed that a
duty of 45 per cent. shall be levied on British goods im-
ported by English resident merchants. The Board of
Trade has, at the suggestion of the Agent of the Island,
been pleased to direct that the ports of Black River, Port
Mutant, and Rio Bueno shall be declared free ports. The
Order in Council to this effect may be looked for by the
next packet.
By the French Papers received this morning we find
that two Prussian corps d'armje, each of twenty thousand
men, arrived at Dusseldorf, and are going to Treves. Two
French Generals are at Mentz, observing the movements
of the Prussizns.
M. Bourrnont has landed at Villa Garcia, in company
with seventy Frenchmen, on board an English vessel from
Portsmouth; they brought despatches for the Captain-
General, who resides at Corunna. Five thousand quintals
of powder have been sent to St. Sebastian.
The Russian Ambassador was robbed by a banditti in
the environs of Madrid and maltreated. They took from
him 500 franes.
We understand that very unfavourable accounts have
been n ceived from the whale fishery at Davis' Straits ' •
two ships have been lost, and the remainder of the fleet
had collected only two thousand tuns of oil.

commended to both Houses of Parliament the Consideration of
the representation of this country, with a view to its amelioration
and Reform. The address also expresses the deep dismay and
astonishment occasioned by the refusal of the House of Lords to
concur with the House of Commons and the wishes of a loyal
and devoted people; and beseeches his Majesty at this momen-
tous crisis to retain in his service the present Ministry, who so
fully possessed the confidence of the country ; and further so to
exercise his Rosal prerogative as shall in his Majesty's wisdom
seem best calculated to carry that glorious measure which for a
time has been defeated. The address to the King and Ministers

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—A most respectable and numerous meeting was held
here in the Guildhall of this city yesterday, which was after-
wards adjourned to the Cornhill, owing to the hall not beinglarge
enough to hold thepersons assembled ; two waggons were brought
as temporary hustings. The Mayor was in the chair, and Mr.
Heneage, one of the city Members,was also present. The meeting
had been convened by a requisition to his Worship, most respec-
tably and numerously signed by the inhabitants of Lincoln, for the
purpose of preparing an address to our most Gracious Sovereign,
and to petition the House of Commons on " the temporary
failure of the Reform Bill in the Upper House of Parliament'
I never witnessed at any former meeting of the citizens so much
good humour or enthusiasm on any subject before—all were una-
nimous in the resolutions formed, that an address to his Majesty
should be forwarded through the Secretary for the Home Depart-
ment, and a petition to the House of Commons by Mr. Heneage,
M.P. for this city, signed by the male population of Lincoln. As
the newspapers have reported that a petition from Lincoln,
against the Reform Bill was presented to the House of Lords by
the Duke of Wellington, one of the speakers asked if any man
present, either wearing broad-cloth or a slop-frock, had seen or
signed such a petition ? It was answered, " No, not one !" Be.
fore the meeting separated, " God save the King" was sung
with great feeling, and in good style, by the whole meeting, and
three times four hearty loyal cheers, for good King William the
Fourth. I am, Sir, your's faithfully,

MRS. JOHNSON'S AMERICAN
SOO MING SYRUP.

-
This infallible Remedy has preserved hundreds of Chil-
dren, when thought past recovery from Convulsions. As
soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums the Child ivill
be relieved. It is as innocent as efficacious ; and so
pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed
with it. When Infants are at the age of four months'
the Syrup should be rubbed on the gums : and Parents
shouldnever be without the Syrup in the nursery, where
there are young Children ; for if a Child wakes in the
night with pains in the gums, the Syrup immediately
gives ease ; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.
The great success of this Medicine during the last
Twenty-five Years has induced unprincipled persons to
imitate it, under the name of American Soothing Syrup.
and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, B.:c. Parents
will, therefore, be very particular to ask for JOHN..

Johnson has sold the recipe) is on the Stamp affixed to

On Saturday night last the spirit of incendi-
arisru again manifested itself in the neighbourhood of
Lynn. Two large stacks, one of barley, the other of oats,
were fired by some ruthless band, and although the villagers
were active in their exertions to subdue the raging ele-
ment, their labours proved of no avail, as the whole of
the grain was destroyed. It was the property of Mr. JOHN
BECK, of Congliarn.—Stamford Mercury.
SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAIL-

undertaking which is ultimately to unite Sheffield and
Manchester by means of a rail-road, it is supposed,
that even before the end of the present year, the work at
both ends of the line will be commenced.

TIIIS DAY,

This morning several other witnesses were called on the part
of the prosecution, after which
Mr. Sergeant WILDE, who was retained for three of the
defendants, Hodson, Young, and his wife—(Mr. F. Pollock
being retained for Nancy Watson)--addressed the Jury. He
impressed forcibly on the minds of the Jury the importance of
this case to the defendants. He admitted that on one side or
the other there was a conspiracy of a most foul character, but
to which side that appellation attached was a question which
the Jury would have to determine after they had the whole of the
circumstances in their possession. He implored them to look at
the situation of the parties, and the motives which actuated them,
and their respective interests in the question at issue. Mr.Hodson
was a gentleman of family and fortune, who could gain nothing
let the will of Mr. Stevenson be proved or disproved ; his
motive could only be sympathy for others who were affected by
the will, but as for the assumption that he was desirous of
marrying Nancy Watson, it was a gross falsehood. Young
and his wife were servants to the testator, and had no interest
one way or the other, and Nancy Watson's interest could not
be affected, for whether this will was good or bad, she would
get 2,000/., which was the sum left her by the first will, and
repeated in the second. Now what was the interest of Dr.
Turnbull ? He had a deep stake, for it was by this will alone
that he hoped to gain in his character of residuary legatee.
The Learned Counsel then at very great length canvassed the
conduct and the motives of Dr. Turnbull, as distinguished from
those of the defendants, and was proceeding in his address
when our reporter left.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.

(CONCLUDED ?ROM THE SVN OP YESTERDAt.)
APPOINTMENT OF BISHOPS IN INDIA.
Mr. POYNDER rose to bring forward a motion for the pur-
pose of recommending to the Court of Proprietors more exten.
siva episcopal establishments in India. The Learned Gentleman,
after adverting to the fact of four Bishops having died, each
within a comparatively short time after his appointment to
India, and observing that those deaths were to be attributed to
the great bodily labours in their visitations over so extensive a
portion of India, proceeded, in a speech of very considerable
length, to point out the necessity of having an increased epic.
copal establishment.
Mr. LEWEN seconded the model;
Mr. HUME objected to it, as he saw no necessity for any
addition to the ecclesiastical establishment in India.
Sir C. FORBES opposed the motion, not on the ground Of
the state of the Company's finances, which he understood were
in a flourishing condition ; that there were in the Company's
possession some 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 of money—that was,
eight or ten crore of rupees ; and that it was intended to reduce
the India 5 per cent, debt, by the application of a crore and a
half of this sum every year. It was not, therefore, on the
ground of expense that he opposed the motion, but because he
believed it would be extremely injudicious to enlarge our
church establishment in India, so soon after the (as he conai.
dered it) dangerous experiment of the proclamation of the Go-
vernor-General against Suttees.
Mr. POYNDER consented to withdraw the motion for the
present, but without in any degree giving up the principle on
which he had brought it forward.
The CHAIRMAN said the Hon. Proprietor had acted with
his usual discretion in withdrawing the motion. As to what
had been stated by the Hon. Baronet (Sir C. Forbes) as to the
state of the Company's finances, all he (the Chairman) could
say was, that though they were a little better, they were not
prosperous, and any improvement had been made rather by re-
duction of expenditure than increase of income.
The motion of Mr. Poynder was then withdrawn, and the
Court adjourned.

M. Agie, the Russian Consul at Antwerp, has replaced the
arms of Russia over the door of the Consulate Office. On the
15th, in the morning, a vessel brought some troops to the citadel
of Antwerp; among whom many officers were observed.
A letter from Namur, of the 16th, says—" The first ban of
our civic guard is to be disbanded to-morrow. The decision of
the Minister of War of the 14th declares it disbanded from this
day, and for ever. The Guards are to deliver up their equip-
ments, &c. to-morrow."

The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting of the 16th,
adopted by a majority of 56 to 21, the proposed law for prohi-
biting the exportation of arms.
A letter from Leipsic, of the Gth of December, says—" The
bankruptcy of Mainoni, brothers, for several hundred thousand
dollars, has caused a great sensation. It is said that French
merchants and manufacturers will be the principal losers."

Count Augustin Capo d'lstria has caused the ball to be ex.
tracted from the body of his brother, which was the occasion of
his death. The ball is to be attached to the monument, with
this inscription :—"Present of Greece to its President, Cape
d'lstria."

HANAU, Dec. 12.—The Magistrates of this city, at the
desire of the Electoral Chamber of Commerce, have published
a very interesting notice, stating that Bavarian and Wurtem-
berg Commissioners are gone to Berlin, and that Commis-
sioners from Hesse Cassel and Hesse Darmstadt will in a few
days also set out for that city, for the purpose of making the
necessary arrangements for carrying into effect, by the Ist of
January, 1532, the Convention for a free commercial intercourse
between Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Hesse Cassel, and
Hesse Darmstadt. It is also hoped that similar arrangements
will be made with Saxe Weimar.

BRISTOL, DEC. 20.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--,The news of the second reading of the Reform Bill
was received here with expressions of delight at the very nu.
merous majority Which the friends of the people have obtained
over the satellites of corruption, and the bigots of a bye-gone
schOol: The only drawback upon our joy is that the re-as-
sembling of Parliament has not been fixed for an earlier period,
which would have given the highest satisfaction. At first there
was some expression of disappointment, it being the opinion of
many persons here that the Bill is not quite so efficient as the
last, and there was some idea entertained by certain parties of
petitioning the Legislature upon the subject ; the intention is,
however, abandoned, and like discreet debtors there is every
disposition to entertain the excellent advice contained in your
Paper of Friday last. We expect every day that the Court.
Martial on Colonel Brereton will commence, hut as yet no
specific time is named for that purpose. Colonel Brereton is
highly I/Ovular here, and his numerous friends entertain the
most sanguine hopes for the successful issue of his trial. Con-
fidence is now pretty much restored here, and the city has re.
sumed a state somewhat resembling its former composure; but
trade is exceedingly dull, and there are a great number of la-
bourers and artizans out of employ ; in one street alone, " Lew-
in's Mead," there are as many as one hundred persons reduced
to a state bordering closely upon starvation. There are a great
number of beggars about the streets by day, and I doubt not
that they would be very active at night, were it not
for the efficient vigilance of the inhabitants, who parade the
streets from six o'clock, p.m. to the same hour, a.m. Every pre.
paration is now making for the trials of the rioters, and St.
George's chapel is enlarging for the purpose of forming a sepa.
rate Court. It is reported that two guineas have been refused
for a sitting in the gallery. The trials will commence upon
the second of January, but what Judges will preside is not yet
known. A. B. C.
