NE WING T ON MEETING.

A numerous meeting of this parish was held this morning in
the large yard belonging to the Horse-shoe Inn, StOnes'-end.

At eleven o'clOck it was moved and carried that Mr. STEVENS
(10 take the chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that in consequence of what the
Lords had done on Saturday morning, some gentlemen of the
parish had felt it necessary to meet again and express their re-
gret at the present fate of the Bill, and to consider of what
should now be done. He begged that every one might have a
fair hearing, and hoped that order would be kept.
Mr. RICHARDSON rose to move this first resolution. He
said it was the duty of every man who loved his country not to
be lukewarm in the present state of this momentous question. He
had been a Reformer for twenty-five years ; he was convinced
that Reform alone could secure the happiness of the country.
He had seen so many obstacles thrown in the way of this mea.
sure, that he had given up hopes of ever seeing it granted ; but
his hopes were revived when the present King came to the
Throne, and the present Ministry came into office. They and
the House of Commons were willing that the people should en.
joy their. rights, but another branch of the Legislature could
not think of parting with what they had so nefariously enjoyed.
The country had now nothing to look to but his most
Gracious Majesty—on him they might rely, and they would
not be
deceived. The Duke of Wellington took the
oPPortunity of throwing out a sop for the people of England,
after Earl Grey had so ably summed up on Saturday morning;
he said, Only turn out Lord Grey, and me and my mi-
nions of corruption will give you Reform, such as will please
you." But were the
people of England to be imposed on in
this way? No; we will never again have the Duke to do-
mineer over us ; he is now out, and there he must remain.
He had only one or two words to say as to the Bishops. On
Saturday morning they had themselves given one of the most
convincing proofs that a revision of the Church was necessary ;
it was through them that the Bill was thrown out—and what
right had they to vote against the people's rights. He con,
eluded by imploring the people to be firm and determined; but,
above all, to be peaceable, and obey the laws. He then moved
the following resolution :
" That this meeting have learnt with feelings of dismay and
indignation the rejection by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of
the great national measure of Parliamentary Reform, and
reiterate in the most unqualified terms the unbounded confi,
dence they feel in his Majesty's present Ministers ; and Implore
them under every circumstance that may arise, firmly toretain
their stations in the Government, as the only means of defeating
the enemies of the People in their faetious opposition to their
King, the Commons House of Parliament, and the voice of the
nation."

o f the Bill pounds, shillings, and pence
with the Lords, for they knew that if it once passed there wass.
and pensions ; but this was tr,e yery
Mr. FOXSMITH seconded it. He considered the rejection
an endof
he was
their
a places mere question of
son why the people should insist upon I,,ving it.
The resolution was, ttien put, and carried unanimously.
t
Mr. F_,•}IEARLE.Ir proposed the second resolution. He felt
great zeal in the cause, but could bring forward nothing new, so
much having already been said on the subject. He considered the
law of primogeniture had been the curse of the country, for on
account of it Noble Lords had to providp
their yuunger sans
and daughters out of the public pgse, He aISo exhorted the
people to be quiet, fur 114,111 g 010 lice pined by riot. The
L 9,04 calcOaied upon anarchy and confUsion, for it would
strengthen their cause, but they would be disappointed.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. PARSONS, and was
carried unanimously. It was as follows :

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

This day's supply of Beasts was rather numerous, but in great
part of middling and inferior quality,; of Sheep, Fat Calves, and
Porkers, but limited. Veal and Pork sold with some degree of
briskness, at an advance of about 2d. per stone ; with Beef and
Mutton the franc was rather dull at Friday's quotations.
