LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1831.

The cause of Reform proceeds on its glorious
course rejoicing. Scarcely an hour passes but we
receive accounts, from all parts of the country, of
meetings that have taken place—or of requisitions
for immediate meetings in every village, town, city,
and county throughout the kingdom. Wherever you
go, nothing is heard of but " Reform, and success
to the Ministerial plan !" The nation to a man is
roused to a sense of duty on this all-absorbing and
heart-stirring theme—and victory cannot be doubt-
ful where every hand is ready, and every heart pre-
pared, to support the KING and his Ministers in
their patriotic endeavours to promote the great cause
of Reform for the benefit and safety of the people.

Yesterday two great public meetings took place
to " support the KING and his Ministers" at Bir-
mingham and at Bristol, as will be seen by the
Resolutions in this day's Sun. To the frends of
Reform, what can be more cheering than this spon-
taneous burst of public feeling, which echoes back
on its foes the death-knell of corruption. At Bristol
so unanimous was the meeting, that when it was pro-
posed to sow discord in their proceedings, by
proposing the ballot, only one hand was held
up against the general resolution, Mr. JOHN HARH
justly observing that though a sincere friend to the
ballot, yet, as the measures proposed by his Ma-
jesty's Ministers so far exceeded expectation, it was
the duty of the assembly to abstain from any topic
that might at all compromise the unanimity of the
meeting in a cause where it was their wish and
their interest to support the intentions of Govern-
ment. This conduct was as magnanimous as it was

forbearing.
To-morrow we shall give a full account of the
Bristol Meeting, as well as that at Birmingham,
part of which has only arrived at the time of going
to Press. At present we can only repeat—let the
people continue to meet and to petition —and the
cause of Reform is sure—for in such a cause Eng-
land expects that every man will do his duty.

The debates last night in the House of Commons
were interesting but desultory. In reply to an ab-
surd threat thrown eut by the Marquis of CHANDOS,
respecting the second reading of the Reform Bill,
to the effect, that if it were not fixed for an carlier
day than Monday se'nnight, (the time appointed)
he should oppose the Mutiny Act and Sup-
plies, Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, he would give
the Noble Lord at once an opportunity of ful-
filling his intention ; and, amid loud cheers front
all parts of the House, begged to move the third
reading of the Mutiny Bill. The motion was
ultimately withdrawn.
In the House of Lords his Royal Highness the
Duke of SUSSEX expressed himself favourably dis-
posed towards the Reform Bill.

We have authority for stating that, independently
of the great measure of Reform now before the
House of Commons, Government have it in con-
templation to take the whole of the funds and the
superintendence of the turnpike-roads in England into
their own hands, the propriety of which will be
readily acknowledged by all but those, whose inte•
rest will be best consulted by continuing the present
corrupt system of management.
The measure has been suggested by Mr. BOYD,

who is a practical surveyor, and from the 'attention
his plans have received at the hands of his MIL.
JFSTY'S Secretary of State for the Home Depart•
ment, we have reason to believe an alteration, Whcli
will be highly Leneficial to the public, will speolli
be carried into effect.

The accounts from Poland, though still somewna;

determination, they are far below their ga--
