sidered that Lord Aithorp had not much of the devil
about him.—(Loud cheers.) A Noble Duke had consi-
dered a County meeting as a farce, but when the public
had voted to that Noble Duke 100,0001. in 1812, he did
not consid.r that a farce—( Tremendous cheers and laugh-
ter)—neither did he consider it a farce when 300,0001.
more was voted to him—(Cheers)—and he was very much
mistaken indeed, if he would long consider such meetings as
had latterly taken place in the country in the light of farces.
As far as regard,d the conduct of the Bishops, he did not
see any thing extraordinary in it, for it was well known
that the moment they came to be 13ishops they were de •
sirous da all they could for themselves.—(Cheers.) The
Bishops were much in the situation of General John-
son—they wanted confi4ence.—(Lond laughter.) If they
had conceived that Ministers would have kept their places
l'ter the rejection of the Bill, he (Mr. IL) had no doubt
they would have voted for them ;but they thought that Mi-
nisters would be obliged to resign, and nobody- could bla•mie
them for taking core of themselves. He thought
that Ministers ought to have t arned out the underlings,
for till that was Clone no reduction of taxes would take
place, and the monopoly of the corn laws would still exist.
However indignant the meeting might feel at the rejection
of the Reform Bill, it was as much their interest as duty
to promote peace and good order, riot and disturbance
should be avoided, and he firmly believed that the greater
part of the riots that had taken place, had in some way or
other emanated from the Tories.—(Loud cheers.) It
was said by Sir Charles Wetherel, that there was a
re-action in the country, and he went to Bristol
to try the experiment, and who could say but that
the riot and disturbance which had taken place there did
not arise from some act of the Tories. He could not
agree with the conclusions of the Hon. Baronet (Sir R.
Heron) as to his observations on the menaces used by the
Press, for he could not think that any observations it
might make would induce Noble Lords to swerve from
their opinions. He trusted the people would join hand
and heart in preventing the boroughmoneers from placing
their feet upon their necks, for if they did, woe betided
the people.—(Loud cheering.)
The HIGH SHERIFF then put time resolution to the
meeting, which was carried unanimously.
The Rev, Sir CHARLES ANDERSON moved the follow-
ing resolution, in a short and neat speech, expressing his
cordial concurrence in the object of the meeting, and his
deep regret at the course pursued by the House of Lords.
" That thismeeting observes with the greatest satisfaction, that
in the minority of 158 Lords are to be found the representatives
of the greater part of our ancient nobility, the descendants of
former patriots and heroes, and feels deeply grateful to them for
their noble exertions for the welfare of the nation."
The resolution was then seconded, put by the High
Sheriff to the meeting, and declared by bin, to be carried
unanimously.
On the motion of Major HANDLEY, seconded by
Major Awx, a copy of the resolutions was ordered to be
sent to Earl Grey.
Major ALux, in a neat and appropriate speech, moved a
vote of thanks to the representatives of the county, Sir
W. A. Ingilby and the Hon. C. A. Pelham.
HENRY HANDLEY, Esq. seconded the resolution, wide
was carried unanimously, amidst loud and long-continue
cheering.

Sir WILLIAM INCILBY and the Hon. C. A. PELHAM
briefly returned thanks.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the
ll,gh Sheriff, who, in a neat speech acknowledged the ho-
nour done him ; and the meeting, after giving nine cheers
for the King, three for Reform, and three groans for the
Bishops, separated peaceably.

THE WEATHER.
The excessive inclemency of the weather in this county
has almost rendered travelling a matter of difficulty. In
the beginning of the week a hard frost seemed to have set
in, and ice of considerable thickest' covered the pools and
road. The city and neighbourhood of Lincoln has also
been visited with a smart face of snow. On Thursday
night a dense cold fog covered the whole of the city and
otit‘kirts, rendering the passage along 'he streets a matter
of some danger and considerable inconvenience. Many of
the inhabitants have been heard to say that they have never
experienced so cold a night in the beginning of November.

SHEFFIELD, Nov. 17.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
write for the purpose of contradicting a report
which h.is appeared in the Liverpool Chronicle, that
India cholera has br,ken out here. A Committee, formed
for adopting preventive measures ,is in daily communica-
tion with a Medical Board, consisting of all the profes-
'ional gentlemen in this town, and they are ignorant of
any case of malignant cholera in Sheffield. From the
annexed you may see what is one of our measures. I
will take this opportunity of observing that if all such
papers were allowed to circulate, free of postage (if open,
and containing .no private intelligence) it would greatly
encourage the communication of useful plans from one part
of the kingdom to another.

I remain, Sir, yours respectfully,
T. A. WARD, Chairman.
TO LANDLORDS AND PROPRIETORS OF HOUSES.

THE CHOLERA.
That insidious and malignant disease which has traversed a
great part of Europe, has at length reached our shores, and com-
mences' its ravages at Sunderland. It may, therefore, be ex-
pected to visit this place sooner or later, and it is the duty of
every man, who values his own health and life, or those of his
friends, neighbours, and fellow-creatures, to do all he possibly
can to stop its progress or abate its fury. If individuals will not
join with the public in unremitting exertions, little good can be
effected. Personal cleanliness, regular living, and sobriety arc
the first human means of safety—tree ventilation, and cleanliness
of habitation are the next. Let each act as if success depended
upon his single exertions, and not wait for others to help him.
The present appeal is particularly addressed to landlords and pro-
prietors of houses. Much will depend upon them for preserva-
tion from disease. They should take care that the exterior of
their houses is in such a sound state of repair, as to exclude wet
and damp: they should see that the means of thorough ventila-
tion are affbrded in their tenements, and that every nuisance,
every accumulation of filth is instantly removed from their
premises: they should personally visit their tenants and incul-
cate the absolute necessity of cleanliness by washing, scouring,
whitewashing, and purifying every part—every hole and corner.
Privies should be frequently emptied—ctagnant waters be filled
up—and all refuse from pigsties, cow-houses, stables, slaughter-
houses, chandler's-houses, and other places be speedily and re-
gularly taken away. The neglect of such precautions may be
fatal to those immediate concerned, and dangerous to all around.
Landlords and proprietors of houses are therefore most earnestly
and solemnly exhorted, without any loss of time, to take imme-
diate steps for doing all in their power to save the town and
neighbourhood from a disastrous visitation of this appalling
disease. By Order of the Committee,
Cutlers' Hall, Nov. 10, 1631. T. A. WARD, Chairman.
