A OR, SECOND EXPERIMENT.
A Monkey—who shaving first tried on himself,
And cutting his jowl, the mischievous elf—
Itesolv'd,to embrace opportunity pat,
And operate next on the beard of the Cat ,
The place of a mirror adapted to suit,
There stood in the room then a high-polish'd Boot,
lii which Warren's Jet, of pre-eminent hue,
Display'd the fine forms of reflection to view.
Now seizing poor Puss, to the bright Boot he bore her,
The Monkey, her shadow then gleaming before her,
And answered her struggles with'cliatter aril blows,
Her phis while he soap'd from her ears to her nose.
The Cat, thus essaying in vain at resistance,
And mewing in pitiful plaint for assistance,
With wonder the same operation now saw
Performed in, or shown by the Jet of eclat !
in front of the Boot, then, as if to explain it,
The method of shaving, how best to attain it.
The act interspersing with grin and grimace,
The Ape clear'd the Cat of each hair on her face!
And strange though it seems yet the frolicsome elf
Was much more successful with Puss than himself ;
The Shaver adroitly concluding his scraping,
The Shav'd with the loss of her whiskers escaping,'
The Monkey, in triumph, the parlour now sought,

We regreat to learn that Sir Samuel Shepherd, late
Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Scotland, the contempo-
rary and friend of Lord Erskine at the Bar, lies in a preca-
rious state of health, at his residence, 1-jyde Park-terrace.
In some of the moorland districts of Fife there are
still considerable quantities of corn exposed both in the
stook and uncut. Towards the end of last week the state
of the weather enabled a portion to be secured ; but the
heavy tall of snow yesterday forenoon, with severe frost,
followed in the afternoon by a sudden thaw, must have put
a stop to the gathering in of what must still be valuable, if
not for human food, for fodder for bestials.—Seotch Paper.

The two poor urn who were immured in the earth
which fell in at the coal-mine at Swinton, on the 27th ult.,
are still, we are sosry to say, in the same condition. It is
stated that Mr. Knowles, the proprietor of the mine, can-
not propurp !my mpn tp work at the mouth of the mine, to
get out the earth, for fear that it 411ftuld sink. still fqrther
and cover them in 'also. It is almost impossible that the
two men should be now alive, as when the earth fell in they
were suspended in the bucket, and about 40 yards down
the shaft of the mine ; they must, therefore, have been
either dashed to the bottom of the mine or still remain in
the bucket,—Manchester Guardian,

The Reformers of the South Hams district of the
southern division of Devonshire, dineA together pursuant
to previous public notice, this day at Totness. Such was
the anxiety to be present at this meeting, that the tickets
were at n guinea premium, and on the morning of the dinner
thirty shillings and two pounds premium were offered for and
refused. The dinner took place in the Mayoralty-room of
this town, which was lengthened 42 feet, at considerable
expense, for the purpose. The room was capable of con-
taining five hundred persons, and there was that number
present. Among whom were :—Stanley Carey, Esq.,
(chairman) ; Right Hon. tord CranstOun ; Lord Seymour,
M.P. ; T. Parrott, Esq., M. P. ; Hon. Newton Fellowes,
M.P. ; Sir W. Molesworth, M.P. ; V. Leader, Esq.,

After the usual loyal toasts, the CHAIRMAN proposed the
health of the Liberal Members of the borough, Jasper Per-
rot, Esq., and Lord Seymour.—( Loud cheers.)
Mr. PAItROTT said that if they believe the Tory press,
the present Ministry was tottering, and the Tories were
about to resume the reins of Government.—(Never.) Let
them look at that borough. Had there been any desertion
from the liberal ranks there ? On the contrary, there had
been an accession to them ; many had joined them, and em-
barked in the same cause in which they were engaged—
their country's good.—(Cheers.) He begged to point out
the necessity of all ranks of Reformers being united. If
the Liberals should make some abatement in their demands,
the old Whig should meet them half way. The Reformers
considered that the great reform they seek would be ac-
quired, by granting full, fair, and equal justice to Ireland.—
(Cheers.) By relieving the Dissenters from that most ob-
noxious impost, church-rates—(Cheers)—not to take the
church-rates from the general taxation of the country,
but from the sinecure and other property of the Church
—(Loud cheers)—by instituting such an inquiry into the
pension list as would lead to its revision—(Cheers)—by the
ballot, and the repeal of the Septennial Act—and last,
though not the least, by instituting an inquiry into one
branch of the Legislature, with a view to its reform—(loud
and continued cheers)—into that. branch of the Legislature
which, in the last Session of Parliament, almost stopped the
progress of legislation. He had touched upon two great
questions—the Ballot and Peerage Reform. He had al-
ways voted for the Ballot, and wouldtalways continue to do
so until some better plan was proposed to protect the voter
in the free exercise of his elective franchise. He was not
prone to rash and violent changes, but friendly to improve-
ment ; but if the Peers, with a Lyndhurst at their head,
should act another Session as they had done the last, by
mutilating or throwing out almost every measure that
would have benefitted the country, he should feel it his
duty to look the evil full in the face, and with calm daring
endeavour to find a full and complete remedy for it. With
respect to the Ministry, he had last Session given them a
general support, but there were some points upon which he
felt his duty to vote against them. He alluded to the
Bishops' Bill, and the question of the Ballot. They were,
however, entitled to much credit for many measures they
had brought forward; and if they did not go so far as the
people wished, they should be urged on.
Lord SEYMOUR next acknowledged the honour done him,
and was received with loud cheers. He regretted that the
church should be mixed up with politics, and it was on that
account that he was anxious that the question of church
rates should be set at rest for ever. If the Church in this
country was the cause of any vexatious feeling, how much
more so must be the cause with respect to the Irish church ?
—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord, after adverting to the
Church of Ireland, and the misrule of that country, ob-
served that the Tories hated Ireland, because it had ever
been a stumbling-block to them, and because, when they
had acquired power, with office, the misgovernment of that
country hurled them from it.—( Hear, hear.) With them
the two words, O'Connell and Ireland, were synonitmous.
They detested the one, and they would subjugate the other.
(Loud cheers.) They had hail many leaders—first, they
were praising up the Ditke of Wellington, he At one pe-
riod was all in all ; then they throw him aside and take Sir
Robert Peel. He was the only man capable of leading them
—so talented and replete with prudence. Suddenly he was
thrown overboard, and another leader chosen. Was their
cause then so bad that prudence would not do ? That they
required a man 'of more hazardous and reckless character to
do their work ? But let them not deceive themselves. No
leader they might choose will ever be successful, especially
if he resorted to daring and desperate means. The Noble
Lord, after a few other remarks, concluded by proposing
the health of the Chairman.—(Cheers.)

The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and concluded leis ad-
dress by proposing " Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's
Ministers."—(Vehement cheering.)
Lord SEYMOUR returned thanks on behalf of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers. He said that the Government had been
brought into power by the constituencies of the country—
to them it owed its rise, and to them it trusted for support.
--(Hear.) It had been stated that the Government did
not move fast enough in the march of Reform.—(Hear,
hear.) But what Government, he would ask, ever kept
pace with the sanguine expectations of the people?--<tioar,
hear.) The present Government, however, ulpklld lead
them in the right course, and in the end appomplish all that
every real Reformer could desirce-4(3)tocrs.)
The CHAIRMAN tho prnpc+sed `i The health of the Right
Hon, Lord Cranstoun, and the Reformers of Scotland."
Lord CaaNsTourt returned thanks,
The Cu AIRMAN proposed "The healths of the Hon.
Newton Follower and Lord Ebrington, and the electors of
North Devon."--(Cheers.)
The Hon. N. FELLOWES retinnod thanks an his own
behalf, and on behalf of hit Noble Colleague. The Hon.
Gentleman then prnocoilod to say, that the Tories bad
stated that there was a re-action throughout the country t
but there was no re-action.- The Reformers desired as ay.,
dcntly as ever the advanceMent of civil anti religious liberty.
—( Hear.) They were increasing in their demands for the
ballot.—(Here the company rose
_and gave three hearty
cheera for " the ballot.") The demands of the Reformers
must ho coneeded,—(Hear, hear.) ' Any thing the people
ought to have they would be sure to obtain, if they noted
constitutionally, for the power was in the people, and not in
the Lords.—(Loud cheering.) After commenting upon the
state of Ireland, and the necessity of redressing the grie-
vances of that country, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by
advocating the separation of Chureh and State, for he coo.
sidored that all the evils that the country had suffered had
been caused by the union of the Church and State.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Sir Wm.
Molesworth and the Reformers of East Cornwall.
Sir WM, MoutSwoarti, in returning thanks, addressed
the meeting in the following words :—As a member of the
popular party, and as one holding opinions which some per-
sons used to consider as rather extreme ones, I cannot ex-
press the delight which I feel at the rapid and steady pro-
gress of public opinion in favour of all the questions which
I deem of most importance. This is the result of the
Reform Bill,—(Cheers.) That measure was considered
most absurdly by some as a final measure, though in rea-
lity it was but the first and least step of a series of momen-
tous reforms.—(Loud cheers.) This has been the case, es-
pecially with regard to the Ballot. No question has ad-
• vanced more triumphantly than that one.—(Loud cheers.)
Not only has Argument proved the truth of the position of
the Mends of the Ballot, but ten thousand acknowledged
facts can be cited in confirmation of its imperious necessity.
The Bribery and Intimidation Committee has proved that
intimidation of the most merciless description has taken
place at every contested election during the last general
election.•—(Hear,) Of the necessity of the Ballot, I
trust, none of the liberal electors of this country have the
slightest doubts. We, gentlemen, were defeated at the
late election for want of the Ballot ; without the Ballot all
our exertions will be unavailing, and till we obtain it, we
shall not be enabled to shake off the yoke of the Tories,—
( Hear.) I speak feelingly on this sulliect t because I am
obliged for want Af tha ballot, to leave a constituency for
which t have the greatest regard and esteem, the majority
of the electors of which hold opinions similar to mine, and
who prefer me as their representative to any other person.
—(Hear.) With the ballot I should have exceeding plea-
sure in setting at defiance the combined forces of Whigs
and Tories.—(Cheers.) 1 should delight in teaching the
aristocratic factions in Cornwall how utterly worthless and

insignificant they are in opposition to the people, when strips
of the unjust and undue influence of property.—(Cheers.)
Without the ballot I could not, however, consent to expose
my kind and esteemed friends in humble life to all the evil
consequences which would result from a struggle against t'.o
combined exertions of almost all the large proportions of the
county, and against the zealous opposition of the clergy—
those perpetual exciters of political strife in each parish, the
bitter foes of all improvement—the noxious impediments to
all reform. If, then, there was any county in England in
which such a struggle would be successful, that county was
Cornwall. As long as the Cornish Whigs would support me,
my seat was secure ; but they broke the alliance between
Reformers, and sacrificed me on account of my opinions
with regard to a reform in the House of Lords, and I am
well pleased to be a sufferer in so good iceause. lam glad
to find that the nation in no way agrees with these timid
and irresolute men in the dread and horror entertained by
them with regard to this question. I know no subject
with reference to which a mightier change has taken place
in men's minds than with regard to the House of Lords.
A short time ago, and any reorm in that body would have
been discussed only by a few thinking men in the retirement
of their studies ; it mighthavebeen an object of their wishes,
but not one of their expectations. The great mass Of tta
people had antiquated prejudices and superstitioP.a vene-
ration for the Upper House. These feelings were not
profound ones, but they were common to 'almost all in the
nations There was a general calm with reference to this
subject, whicli.concealed indifference, and which many miss
look for respect. In those days the utmost change which
would have been thought of would have been that of a cre-
tion of a few Peers. Now all is changed. Those an-
cient prejudices are in the act of being swept away. The
people have commenced reasoning upon the subject, and
many are occupied in discussing and devising modes of
reforming the House of Peers, and investigating its
utility. These are the symptoms of a coming change—there
is now a wide-spreading and daily-growing conviction
amongst the people, that the hereditary government
of the aristocracy is bad. What has been the cause of
this affecting revulsion ? The conduct of the House of
Lords during the two last sessions,_ has made apparent to
the people that aristocracy will endeavour, when it has the
power, to promote its own interests in preference to those
of the people.—(Cheers.) In reality, gentlemen, the con-
viction of the necessity of a reform in the House of Lords,
and of the ballot, is advancing with gigantic strides. Thou-
sands, who but yesterday hesitated and' doubted, are to-
day convinced, and thousands more will -be added to our
ranks to-morrow.—(Cheers.) In this rapid advance of
public opinion, a most serious and important question is—
what ought to be the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers ?
If they mean to continue the leaders of the people, and
the rulers of the nation, they must advance with the
people. If they wish to controul the impulses of the
masses, they must keep pace with their earnest convic-
tions, and secure the confidence of the people. Between
them and the popular party an alliance was formed, which
placed them in power, which keeps them in power, and
'without which alliance they could not exist as a Ministry
for one single hour.—(Hear, hear,) May that alliance
continue, is my most sincere and earnest hope. May
the Ministry be induced to act in such a manner as to
strengthen that alliance. In order, however, that it ma,y
continue to exist, it must be a fair and equal one.—(Cheers.)
Heretofere every concession has been made by the popular
party—none has been made by that party. On the con-
trary, on those questions which we deem of paramount im-
portance, we have seen those amongst the Administration,
whose opinions are similar to our own, obliged to vote
against their principles, or to, make a miserable compromise
with their consciences by leaving the House.—(Hear.) I
speak with reference to aim Ballot. The majority of the
supporters of Ministers are in favour of secret suffrages.
Several of the Members of the Cabinet are pledged to it,
yet twice during the last two Sessions we have seen the
Cabinet united with the Tories in apposition to us, and
twice by the aid of the Tories alone have they defeated us.
hs this fair and just ?—(No, nes) Are these the principles
of solid union ?—(No,) See what the consequence has
been. See the manner id which one of the best and most
distinguished members of the Government has been re-
' cefvod by his constituents. I refer to Sir H. Parnell, at
Dundee. His constituents told him in terms not to be mis-
understood, that they disappeared of his conduct, in com-
promising his prinoiples.—(llear, hear.) They told him
that unless this union of parties were founded upon fair and
equal terms, it would have the semblance of being a profli-
gate junction of factions for the sake of office,—(Cheers.) It
would appear to be a compromise of principles for the sake
of the good things which result from being connected with
those in power.—(Loud cheers.) These feelings are not
confined to Dundee alone, but pervade a great portion of
Farglaad ; and I am grieved to say that there is, in conse-
quenec, a general and growing feeling of indifference to
the present Administration, an of dissatisfaction at the
conduct of its supporters. The members of the Adminis-
tration are now is power by the people, and are supported
by the representatives of the people ; they are 'accountable,
not only as a Government to the nation, but individually
to their constituents.--(Hear, hear.) • If, therefore, the
system be pursued of obliging individuals to sacrifice their
own conscientious conviction, for the sake of holding office,
the consequences will be that no independent constituency
wilt elect any person connected with the Government of
of the day, or will consent to trust m person who is
tQ be bound by the opinions of others, and who is not
free to follow his own convictions.—(Loud cheers.)
With a new state of affairs a new system of Government
is required. • I agree with your worthy representative (Mr.
Parrott) that the ballot should not be made a cabinet (Inca_
tion, but, as he states, it should be made an open one. the
great question at issue between the two parties or.lint to be
made omen questions.—( Hear.) Let there b.'s; no Cabinet
Opposition to the ballot—nor to a reform in the House of
Lords—nor to any of the other grOec popular measures.—
(Cheers.) Let any person coraiected with the Govern-
ment be at liberty to vote on these questions as he in his
judgment deems best.—(Laud cheers.) Sir Wm. Moles-
worth sat down amidst !sand cheers, which continued for
some minutes.

The CHAIRMAN next proposed the '6 Health of Mr.
Leader and the Reformers of Bridport."—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. LiM returned thanks. He said, we are on the
eve 44. desperate struggle between the Conservative and
the Lime!, party. On one side are ranged the Lords, their
adherents, and supporters. On the other stand the middle
classes, hacked by a great majority of the people.—( Hear.)
IL is now seven years since they made a trial of their
Strength, and compelled their opponents to sanction—by
the Catholic Emancipation Bill—the principle of religious
liberty.—(Loud cheers.) Three, years afterwards they de-
termined to submit no longer to the wretched mo.kery of
representation under the rotten borough system—(Cheers)
—they determined to make an effort in their own behalf,
and to establish for themselves the principle of civil liberty.
--(Cheers.) Much has been done ; but much more re-
mains to be done. The. House of Commons is reformed—
but does it fairly and fully represent the people ?—(" No,
no.") Ask that question of the county electors who are
coerced by their landlords or their landlords' agents.—
(Cheers.) Ask that question of the voters—(Cheers)—
who depend in any manner on the Government.—(Cheers.)
Ask that question of the tradesmen in country towns, or
the small merchants in great cities.—(Loud cheering.)
Ask that question of the poor and dependent electors
wherever you may find them. What would be their an-
swer? " No, we arc not represented, and we never shall
be represented till we give our votes conscientiously, without
hope of reward or fear of punishment."—(Loud cheers.)
This is no invention of my own fancy. Had you not your-
selves a sad proof of the dependent state of the electors at
the last election for this very division of Devonshire?—
(Cheers.) Look again to the late example in East Corn-
wall.—(Cheers.) That district is represented, aye, really
and truly represented, by one of the best Reformers in the
country.—(Loud cheers.) He has with him the hearts
and opinions, as well as the votes of a majority of his con-
stituents—(Hear, hear)—but a few of the very moderate
Reformers of the county take offence at his opinions, and
intimate to him that he will no longer have their support.—
(Hears hear.) He knew that through their property they
had much influence over a portion of the electors. He took
the hint, and, not wishing to subject his friends amongst
the yeomanry and tenantry of the conntry to loss and ruin
on his account, he determined not again to become a can-
didate for East Cornwall. He is a friend of mine ; 'what-
ever I might say in his praise would be set down to the par.
tiality of priVate friendship—look, then, to the opinion of the
public.
The Reformers of the North have fully appreciated
his generous and honourable conduct—(Cheers)—the
greatest and most important Reform constituencies are
anxious to be represented by him—(Cheers)—the man
who was to be sacrificed as a victim to the prudery of a
few old-fashioned Whigs in East Cornwall, has, through their
very act, and by his own straightforward conduct, gained
the goodwill and the respect of every good Reformer.—
(Great cheering.) Here is a double lesson ; it should
teach the old-fashioned Whig gentry to give up sonic of
their coyness—it should teach all Reformers the absolute
neoeasity of protectiDg the elector in the exercise of his
