lay had been adverted to, and upon that he would observe
that there could be nothing more likely to injure the
cause than delay. Reform was wanted—Reform must
be, and he wished it to be obtained in such a way and with
such a spirit and determination as to show to all that the
people demanded it, and that the King was ready to give
it.--(Cheers.) It was of the utmost importance that there
should be no delay, anti also that there should be no altera-
tion in the measure that had already been brought
forward. The Tory party desired nothing more than
delay. If delay took place they were ready enough to
think that the chance of carrying the measure, with the
powerful authority with which it was now before the
world, might depend on the life of a single indiv idutl—
( Hear, hear)—and who could say what casualties might
not occur ? who could predict that the cholera nnorbus,
which bad made such havoc in many other places, might
not unhappily visit these shores with its unsparing and impar-
tial hand—and if it did, what the consequences might not be.
(Hear, hear, hear.) For innumerable reasons, therefore, it
was essentially neccessary that not an hour should be lost in
having the great end accomplished. Having had so many
subjects to advert to, he really had almost forgotten the cause
of his coming forward—it was to propose a vote of thanks to some
of the best friends of Reform—very few, however--
exceedingly small in number, he lamented to say—
only two.—(Laughter.) The two memorable Bishops, and
the two only who voted in accordance with the feelings
of the people, and far their good.—(Hear.)-11e was not
at all angry with the Bishops for the votes they had
thought proper to give.—(Hear.) In truth, he was
glad to
__think they had voted as they had done,
for now the country knew their sentiments. Now they had
openly d dared their real order. Now had they made known
their insuperable obstinacy to yield to anything like a be-
nefit to be conferred on society. Heretofore they had
been libelled—they bad been called servile--the instru-
ments of the Ministry; but this was all erroneous.
They were, and always had been, the consistent sup-
porters of every Ministry that had trampled on the rights
of the people—the unflinching opposers of the very
first set of Ministers who had come forward to de-
clare that the people should no longer be kept
and treated as the tools of corruption, but that they
should have their rights and privileges restored to them.—
(Long continued cheering.) Let the meeting express
its most cordial gi atitude to that portion of the
Rev. Bench which had shewn themselves the friends
of the people—(Cries of " We will—we will")—and probably
such an expression of feeling might be uttered throughout
England towards those two 'individuals which might
hereafter have a salutary and beneficial effect on their brethren,
and cause them to think that they may be capable of tak-
ing a course which in the en,l may prove mare dan-
gerous to their own church than to the grand
cause of Reform.—(Cheers.) The resolution he ha i to
propose was—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to the
Bishops of Norwich and Chichester, who honourably distin-
guished themselves from the rest of their Bench by their vote
for the Reform Bill, and the exhibition of a zealous regard for
the welfare and good opinion of their countrymen."
Na.. ARTHUR.. Haulers seconded the resolution, and it
was carried unanimously with keg and rapturous cheering.
The next resolution was a vote of thanks to the county
Members, Sir C. Lemon and E. W. W. Pen-
darves, Esq., for their unremitting exertions and able ser-
vices in Pat liamenr, and more particularly fir supporting
as they did the Reform Bill in the House of Commons,
which had been recently lost in the House of Lords. The re-
solution, which was proposed by Mr. G. R. G. WATKIN, and
accanded by Sir Wm CALL, was carried by acclamation.

The Honourable Gentlemen returned thanks each in
a few concise sentences, in which they pledged them-
selves to renewed efforts to give satisfaction to those who had
sent them to Parliament, and for the benefit
of their country. It was then moved, seconded,
ami carried unanimously, that Earl Grey he respectfuly
requested to present the address to his Majesty.
It was moved, seconded, and carried unanimously, that
for the purpose of saving time the High Sheriff be re-
quested to sign the address for the meeting, and that it be
immediately forwarded to Earl Grey.

A vote of thanks having next been carried with heart
and hand by all present, to the High Sher;ff for his ad-
mirahle conduct throughout the proceedings of this
important day, the meeting was then dissolved, and the
a.sembled multitudes dispersed in the most orderly manner,
full of good humour, and all apparently highly gratified
with what had passed. "%tiny of the leading personages
went immediately to Oliver's Hotel,where a great number
sat down to a most excellent and sumptuous dinner.
Some of the oldest gentlemen present were repeatedly
heard to say, that in the course of their lives they bad
never known a meeting of the county of Cornwall attended
more respectably, influentially, and numerously.
