LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1831.

Reform meetings, as usual, are in active pro-
gress throughout the country. The great county
of Stafford meets this day, those of Hants and
Cornwall to-morrow. As for the city and
borough meetings, they are so numerous that
we actually have not space to insert a twentieth
part of them.

Nevertheless the Incurables still cry out that
a reaction has taken place ; that the people
are becoming daily more indifferent to Re-
form. The fools ! The country is more
resolved on it than ever, and more unanimous
—if that be possible—than in its detestation of
the recent conduct of the Episcopal Bench.—
Let but the Bill be rejected a second time ; let
but the slightest doubt of its full and perfect
triumph be apparent ; and those who now de-
claim so virulently against it, will be the very
first to repent their rashness. The people have
set their hearts upon it ; they have meditated on
it by day ; they have dreamed of it by night ; it
has been the one engrossing subject of contem-
plation amongst them for a twelvemonth past;
and if they be now disappointed, we would not
guarantee the public tranquillity from one day to
another. But though the triumph of Reform is cer-
tain, it will not even yet be won without a struggle.
The Boroughmongers are at their old work
again, with as much activity as ever, and with
energy rendered more desperate by opposition•
A squad of moderate Reformers is in the field,
headed by a certain Nobleman, who has just
discovered that some concessions must be made
to the people. Against the machinations of this
fraternity the country cannot be too often put
on its guard. They are hollow—subtle—Jesui-
tical,—and like false lights, are hung out only
to allure. These bit-by-bit Reformers will grant
every thing that is of no worth, and withhold
all that is really valuable. They may, per-
haps, consent to enfranchise 'Manchester and
Birmingham, but they will reject schedules A
and B. They will make some alteration in the
present mode of conducting town and county
elections, but they will have nothing to do with
the ten-pound franchise. And yet this is the
very main prop of Earl GREY'S Bill, deprived
of which it must infallibly tumble to pieces!
But England, Ireland, and Scotland, will not
be thus deceived. They will insist on a mea-
sure of Reform fully as efficient as the last, or
they will take the question into their own hands.

We yesterday published the twenty-four ar-
ticles which form what the Conference of London
has been pleased to call the final arrangement of
the Belgian question, together with the note ad-
dressed by the Conference to the Belgic Pleni-
potentiary, M. VAN DE WEYER, inviting him
to sign the same on behalf of his Government.
M. VAN DE WEYER conceiving the articles to
exceed his intentions, as well as the baois of the
preliminaries upon which he had been negociating,
left, London for Brussels upon the receipt of this
communication, and on the 20th instant the ar-
ticles were submitted to the Belgic Chamber of
Representatives, which appears to have received
them with much surprise and agitation, but had
not commenced the discussion of them at the
period from which our latest intelligence dates.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs (M. DE MEU-
LENAERE) appears to have entered into long
explanations of the proceedings of the Confe-
rence. Whether those explanations will by sa-
tisfactory to the Chamber remains to be seen ;
but it is manifest that the decision either to ac-
cept or reject the articles, will be one of very
great moment to the peace of Europe. At pre-
sent, the acceptance by Belgium is certainly
more than doubtful, and, in fact, when we
sider the discontent with the all mighty assump-
tions of the Conference that have some time
prevailed there, all indications are rather against
the probability of its taking place. In regard to
Holland, we have as yet n 9 certain information

of her disposition, but it is not anticipated tly"
there can he any grounds of objection on her pall'
Whatever the result may be—and however
strongly the Belgians may be influenced b):3
sense of their own weakness, and of the necessity
of humbling themselves before the Allies for the
sake of peace and protection—it is not easy t°
see the justice of sending back half of the illha;
bitants of Luxemburg, and a portion of those e'
Limburg, under the yoke they have shaken elf'
to say nothing of saddling a new and petty State(
with so heavy a charge as 800,0001. a-year °,
debt, besides the reimbursement to Holland ei
her expellees since November last. Luxemburg
established its independence, de facto, just V, I
much as any other portion of Belgium, and I'sl
included:within the limits of the new State men'
tioned in the Constitution which King LEopoLV,
has sworn to observe. It is highly probable
therefore, that both the Belgic Chambers, 0'
the KING, may conceive they have no authorit) 11
to consent to the dismemberment of the nationa'i
territory, and will feel themselves compelled t°
withhold their assent to the proposed treaty'
Should such be the case, the probabilities of the
preservation of the peace of Europe become f3l
less than they have been for the last twelvemonth'
for the French nation, would, without question/
force its Government into assisting the I3elglan°
against any efforts of the other Great Powers t°
enforce the articles by hostilities. Our love °(
peace is, we hope, not less strong than it ought
to be, but, we cannot help saying, the Belgians
have been dealt with rather on the maxim that
their affairs must be settled in some way or
other—no matter to the Conference how 105:
tisfactorily to Belgium--than on the princle
that justice should be done at all hazards, how'
ever inconsiderable in importance might be thief
interests which the Conference took upon ltse
to arrange. It should also be especially n°tetb
that the Great Powers, as arbitrators, appear to
have exceeded the basis of their arbitration, so
r
fir as concerns their award upon the limits
the two countries. If the Conference have the
s
might to enforce its decision, it by no ille3nd
follows that it has also the right. But o'he'j
might and right come into contact, we Or
hardly remark that the weaker is sure to g° to
the wall.

The new Reform Bill will, it is understood'
take the census of 1831 instead of 1821 for tbe
criterion of population, which will make a &five
rence in both schedules A and B. The cilaq
cannot be objected to, now that the censuf g
complete, as it will make the Bill agree 111°/
exactly with the principle of population it Pro.
lesses to recognize.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Thomas Gerard was capitally- indicted for stealing
twelve volumes of an Encyclopedia from the dwelling-
heuse of Stephen W. De Siva, Esq.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, who was_a
journeyman painter, had been for many days employed in
painting and decorating the prosecutor's house, and had
frequent access to one room, in which was a book-case
containing many valuable works. After the painting was
finished the prosecutor, on going to his bookcase, missed
the twelve volumes of an Encyclopcedia. An inquiry was
instituted, and suspicion falling upon the prisoner, he was
apprehended, when it was ascertained that he had pawned
the books at different pawnbroker's shops, and on different
days. The books were produced by the pawnbrokers, and
the prisoner in some instances identified as having pawned
them.

The Jury, believing the books were stolen at various
times, and not at once, so as to convict the prisoner of
stealing at one time to the value of 405., found him
Guilty of stealing to the value of less than 20F.
Several very trifling cases were also disposed of. These
Sessions, which have been of a very light character, as
compared with the preceding, are expected to terminate
to-day.
