peat eTns, cating the attachment of the community of this
`,°ltridi'Y to the principles of• Parliamentary Reform, A Bill,
,sotts-„,.°11 those principles, had since been introduced into the
.10re Commons, and debates had ensued upon it more long,

and uhnl_oe theta that the minds of the people were unchangl

or the ::"Y'eVer'had , one, that a Reform in the representation
for the 'onotry was requisite for the security of the liberties,
enlpir Preservation of the property, and for the prosperity of the
GentZ, the Present meeting was called.—(Cheers.) The Hon.
and nail next adverted to the drawing up of the resolutions,
was fo-r,„ a high compliment to their author, Mr. Grote, which
the applauded. He (Mr. Smith) had been asked to inure
but t),` resolution, and he wished he could do his office better;
hint fore late sittings in the House of Commons had disqualified
lona much activity.—(Loud cheering.) He begged, however,
Refor„..e one ortwo more
oftobservatons of some importance. The
"4 Bill did, in one or tw its clauses, in his judgment

mote for this country than any public measure since the time of
the glorious revolution of 16SS.—(Cheers.) Clauses A and B
were, in his judgment, sufficient to stamp the measure with the
highest possible character. There Were some minor details
in the Bill which had produced some eternal debates, but
it was determined to support the Bill, and any minor mechanical
matters could easily be altered hereafter. From one end of
Great Britain to the other the people were now employed in ex-
pressing themselves as they were now employed, and he trusted,
and believed, *hen the House of Lords saw that they expressed
their opinions in proper language, far removed from any thing in
the shape of threat or intimidation, they would yield to the
wish of the people.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded
by, movingit he following resolution
" That the mercantile classes of Londoo hereby re-assert and
COnfirm their raffia! *nrobation of the Reform Bill, so unequi-
vocally testified at their meeting of March last, to which they
refer with unabated satisfaction."
Mr. ANDREW HENRY THOMPSON seconded the reso-
lution, and, in doing so, expressed his gratitude to the Lord
Mayor, and those gentlemen who had been instrumental in
calling the present meeting He highly approved of the
Bill, and said, as the, enemies of, Reform were in the field, it
Was necessary fa the friends of it to show to the Lords their un-
chetiged at athment to it.—;Clier'rs.i
The resolution, was carried amidst the loudest cheers.
Mr. LEWIS LLOYD, in rising to move the second resolu-
' aid that when they met in ,March last, he little thought
that they wobld- have sd eboil to meet Siggin upon the same
subject. The measure of Parliamentary Reform had been
determined on by the King and the country—(Loud cheers)—
and, although they had anticipated some objections to it by some
interested and prejudiced persons, they never doubted its tilt -
mate success.--(Applause.) They were now, however, told by
high quarters that the measure was to be lost in the House of
Lerdss(Cries •131. " No, no")—and that their hopes were to be
shipwrecked in that august Assembly.—(CtieS of " No, never ")
It was ,otallY impossible that the Lords
.should declare that
he people could not iffake such an alteration—such an improve-
ment in their own Huhse Of Parliamtint as the times and cir-
cumstances regulred.ess(Cheets ) They. might as well tell a
grown up person to abandon his rights and resume wear-
ing his baby linen.—(Laughter.) Would they say the people
should have no Reform, and; in the words of the poet,
they should not "sweep time cebwebs from St. Paul's
lest they should shake the dome ?"—(Laughter and cheers.)
There was a time When the banks Of the Thames up to Wind-
sor were covered with Ibrests and a few log houses ; suppose the
proud Barons of former times had told the people, " touch not
the log houses, for they are well built, they cannot be improved,
for they have withheld the storms of many centuries and they
are memorable for their antiquity."—(laughter.) What would
the people ay ? Would you stop the tide of the river? As well
may you stop the tide of improvement; the around must be
dearest—omit wants and our interests require it—the log-houses
must be removed—if they suited our forefathers they do not suit
us—and your feudal baronial arbitrary interference shall not arrest
the progress of improvement.—(cheers.) It was this irresistible
spirit of improvement that guided our ancestors ; the forest anti
log houses were cleared away, and there were substituted for
them princely palaecs—the noble halls that now adorned the
banks of the Thames, and renderie,l it the admiration of the
world.—(Cheers.) The same spirit of irresistible improvement
had increased the wealth anal power oL this country, and given
it a rank 'among the nations of the earth, which its limited
dimensions never could have given it.—(Cheers.) With such
things before us was the House of Commons to stand alone un-
improved ? All houses, all the institutions of men were suscep-
tible of decay p it was the insatiable law of nature. Let the
House of Peers indulge in_ keeping their own House if they
please, but let them not meddle with the people's House.—
(Loud' and continued cheers.) The Peers had nominated
the Members of the House of Commons, had influenced its
councils, anti now it could scarcely be recognised as the
people's House.. The Peers say that the House of Commons
wants no Itetbrin, but the people knew better than they ; they
knew it wanted most essential repairs and alterations, anti the
Members of it had undertaken the pains of repairing it, although
it bad been a difficult and laborious work ; they had nobly clone
their duty bypassing the Bill, and now it was left for the Peers
to do theirs.—(Cheers.) When it was considered who the
Peers were—men of exalted character and rank, it was im-
possible they could suffer any selfish anti sordid consideration
to influence their councils.— (Cries of " We hope not.")—
That House was composed of some of the first families and for-
tunes in the country, and it was impossible to believe they would
disappoirff , the best hopes of the people.—(Cheers) He con-
eiptled by'moving the following resolution :
That whereas groundless rumours of re-action iu the public
feeling having been confidently circulated, the mercantile classes
of London cannot rest contented without again publicly record-
ing their opinions, in order to impress upon the House of Lords,
in the most sols inn and emphatic manner, their unaltered attach-
ment to the Bill; their gratitude towards its authors and sup-
porters, and their impatience for its final consummation."
Mr. THOMAS TOOK ill a brief speech seconded it, and it
was carried unanimously.
Mr. A. GRENFE LL—Gentlemerf, it is, a circumstance of
great personal gratification to have been entrusted with the re-
solution which I now hold in my hand, and which, after
a few preliminary observations I sha 1 submit to the considera-
tion, and I hope, candid reception, of this numerous and re-
spectable meeting. Gentlemen, the resolution states that an unani-
mous-demonstration of public feeling in favour of the Reform
Bill has manifested itself throughout every part of the country.
The manner in which it was received anti approved of at the late
General Election, has been unrivalled in the annals of this
country, and that Bill has now been carried through the
House of Commons with tritnephant majorities. These, gentle-
men, are facts which come home to the bosoms of every one who
hears me, and require lio comment on any part. The resolution
concludest with an infereiice which seems naturally to grow
out of it namely, that the rejection or mutilation of the Bill
by the House of Lords would spread consternation and
dismay thrOugliout the whole empire.—(Cheers.) Gen-
tlemen, the contents of this resolution appear so plain,
so simple, so self-evident, that I shpuld be wasting your
time if I went into any particular' discussion respecting
it. But before I sit down, I would offer a few observa-
tions upon the general subject with which the resolution
is connected. it is with unspeakable satisfaction that I
can now state to you that the Bill has at last trium-
phantly passed through the llouse of Commons, and is de-
posited upon the table of the House of Lords. The question
which has naturally suggested itself everywhere is " What will
the Lords do ?" How will they treat it, will they, acting
in unison with the feelings of the united people of the em, ire,
adopt the measure, and thereby give peace, tranquillity, and
satisfaction to the country at large, and thus give the best
security, perhaps, to the continuance of their own valu-
able rights and privileges ; or will they be so rash, so un-
wise, so insane, I will say, as to throw out the Bill, or send
it back to the Commons mutilated, crippled, and disfigured, in the
face, and in defiance of the recorded opinions and feelings of
the people, the House of Commons, and the King?—(Cheers.)
Various are the opinions and conjectures which were afloat
in the public mind, but great also is the anxiety that
in every quarter existed upon this subject. To this feeling
of anxiety is to be attributed your meeting here this day, for
the mercantile class of this great city were anxious not to pro-
nounce their opinion with respect to the measure, that having
already most unequivocally been pronounced at their meeting
in March last. But they were anxious to repel the foul slanders
that have been circulated, that some change, some lukewarm-
ness, some reaction, had evinced itself in their adherence to the
Bill. The boroughmongers, however, would be disabused upon
this subject ; and the meetings which were taking place in
every part of the country would show most unambiguously
that no Luke-warmness existed, and that public opinion could
undergo no change.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I do not deny the
the right of the House of Lords legally, constitutionally to deal
with this or any other measure, brought from the Commons, as
they thought right in their discretion. But I beg to state, as my
own opinion, that if there ever was a question upon which the
people of this country have a,pure and almost exclusive right to
judge for themselves, upon which the honour of the House of
Commons has a sole right to legislate, it is the question,
involving the principles of the system of sending representatives to
their own House. There is nothing to prevent that House
of Commons to go into an investigation, if the Bill was rejected
in the Upper House, of certain rights and privileges which were
exercised by the Lords, and the loss of which would be severely
deplored.—(Cheers.) If that investigation did take place it would
not be very agreeable or palatable to their Lordships.—(Cheers.)
But the Bill must be carried.--(Cheers.) There was no
power, either physical or moral, inherent in the House
of Lords, or out of doors, which they could command
that could successfully resist the feelings and expressed
wishes of a united people, gallantly headed by the great-
est and most patriotic Sovereign that ever swayed a kingly
sceptre.—(Loud cheers.) He hoped the people would conti-
nue firm in their attachment to their King, their House of
Commons, the King's Government, that an end might be
put to the boroughmonging system, and that to their children's
children, might be preserved free and entire those rights and
privileges of which they had so long, so unjustly, and so ini-
quitously been deprived.—(Cheers.) lie concluded by proposing,
" That at the present excited period, after unanimous demon-
strations in favour of the Bill throughout the United Kingdom
fter the unparalleled enthusiasm exhibited at the recent elec-
tions—after the overwhelming majorities by which the House of
Commons has pronounced its own Reform—the rejection or mu-
tilation of the Bill in the House of Lords, would be received with
universal disappointment and dismay.
Which being seconded by Mr. E. Foster, was carried amidst most
enthusiastic and unanimous cheers.
Mr. GROTE then rose and addressed the meeting. 'Flie
mere chance of losing the Reform Bill, with its train of benefits
and ameliorations, was of itself sufficient to inspire
the country with die most painful anxiety and disquietude.
For months past the whole people of England had centered
their affections in that single measure, which was well worthy of it.
lie was sure that the people of this country would sooner see an
invading enemy on their shores than again have the yoke of the
boroughmongers around their necks. The city of London
had a far deeper interest, and much more at stake upon
the Reform, Bill than the Legislature itself could
have, If such an event as the non-passing of tale B
should take place, it would be quite apparent to the
meetin that the resolution now before them did not state
half thg e deplorable consequences. It said not a word in the dif-
ficulty of such an event, of collecting the taxes. In such an
event, how would the tax-gatherer be received when he came
with a warrant from those by whom he was received. Why he
would be received as if he came from the House of Lords, who
had forgotten its own dignity. It might perhaps be considered
that he had no right to, Outer further into these details, nor
would he do so, he would not even glance at the means that
would be adopted in such an event, in ever y part of England, to
resist the payment of taxes ; but this he would say, that the taxes,
instead of being paid cheerfully, would have to be extracted
by force or compulsion. The country was now within a cable's
length of that frightful rock, and whether it should be preserved
from being wrecked upon it or not, depended on this meeting and
others of a similar nature in otherparts of the kingdom.—Cheers.)
It depended:upon the ardourwith which the community in gene-
ral, but the trading classes in particular, pressed forward to urge
their claims on the present occasion. It depended on them
whether lime present autumn was to be a scene of desolation,
or one of universal joy.—(Loud cheers.) Never was so much of
happiness or misery involved in the decisions of a single assembly
as the one now present. He trusted that the meeting
would adopt the present resolution, and that it would produce its
full effect on the House of Lords, and contribute to avert the
calamity which all so justly apprehended. Mr. Grote then con-
cluded by moving the following resolution :
" That should the Bill be now rejected or mutilated, the mer-
cantile classes of London farther contemplate, with unfeigned
alarm, the possibility of discontent, and exasperation to such a

" Sheweth,—That your petitioners, while they respectfully ap-
proach your Lordships' House with this, their second petition in
favour of the Reform Bill, beg leave to renew and to confirm
their cordial testimony of the importance of that great national
measure, as expressed in their petition presented to your Lord-
ships in March last. •
" Your petitioners have heard with indignation the false asser-
tions, confidently ptit forth, to persuade your Lordships that the
people have become lukewarm or disificlihed towards the Bill.
Fearfully alive to the apprehensions.that such calumnies might
possibly mislead your Lordships' judgment, your petitioners
cannot rest contented without again impressing upon your Lord-
ships, in the meat solemn, manner, their unaltered attachment
to the Bill, their gratitude towards its authors and supporters,
and their impatience for its final Consummation.
" Your petitioners fartherbeseech your Lordships to take into
into your high consideration, that the demonstrations in favour
of the Bill have been unanimous throughout the kingdom—that •
the enthusiasm in its behalf exhibited at the recent elections was
unparalleled—that the majorities by which the House of Com-
mons has pronounced its own Reform have been triumphant and
overwhelming, and that the rejection or mutilation of a measure
thus unanimously welcomed, and already half assured, must
spread universal disappointment and dismay. And your peti.
tioners, whose daily support depend§ upon the undisturbed pro-
secution of their industry, contemplate with unfeigned alarm the
possibility of discontent and exasperation, to such a degree as
would paralyze commerce, deprive the labouring population of
employment, and fatally endanger public credit.
" Your petitioners do; therefore; respectfully, but earnestly,
implore your Lordships to avert these perilous consequences, and
to complete that memorable improvement which ennobles the
present reign, by speedily passing the Reform Bill into a law."

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR, and Lords STOURTON and
110 WDEN, sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals.
SIR SAMUEL STIRLING v. MACKENZIE.
In this case, which involved questions relative to the partner-
ship transactions of Sharp and Mackenzie, merchants, of Glasgow.
there were two appeals. Previous to the year 1799, Sharp and
Mackenzie carried on the business of merchants in Glasgow, but
in consequence of severe losses in speculative trz-.nsaCtions with
America, in November, IV9, the house became insolvent, and
sequestration was issued against them. The property then in
America being extremely valuable, and great exertions being
required for its realization, it was resolved by the creditors to
send out Mr. Alexander Mackenzie to that country for that
purpose, and q deed giving him the necessary power was executed.
The principal points in the case regarded the rights of the re-
spondents, who represented Mr. 111‘ Kenzie under that deed. On
the case coming before the Court of Session that Court found
that ran agreement, entered into in September, ISM, by the attor-
nies of Mr. Alexander M.Kenzie, restricting his rights under
tile deed of 1799, was not binding on him, or the present re-
spondents as representing him, on account of its going beyond the
powers which the letter of attorney had given. In the cross
appeal the respondents complained of a judgment upsetting a
claim which they had put in for compound interest, and finding
certain balance sheets not binding against the defendants.
Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. RUTHERFORD were heard last
night for the appellant, and Dr. LUSIIINGTON, with whom was
Mr. ANDERSON, addressed their Lordships to-day for the re-
spondents. The Learned Doctor had not concluded his address
when our reporter left.
