N.B. Two additional deaths are reported by Dr. Daun
in his letter after this return was made out.

The circumstance of a Reform meeting, con-
sisting of at least ten thousand people, and com-
prising almost all the intelligent and influential
landowners in the county, taking place in Cum-
berland, under the very nose of the LOWTHERS,
will, we suppose, abundantly satisfy the Ultras
that a re-action on the question of Reform
has not yet commenced. And, if it have
not yet commenced in Cumberland, where,
we should like to know, has it commenced ?
Of' all the English counties, Cumberland was
the very one where the first symptoms of re-
action would have been most likely to de-
velope themselves. The LOWTHERS there,
as in Westmoreland, have been for years and
years the ascendant party there they have
husbanded their resources ; there they have
all the influence which enormous wealth and
high rank rarely fail to engender—yet there they
have been beaten, fairly beaten out of the field.
We have little doubt that Westmorland will
follow the example so opportunely set her by
the neighbouring county, and thus convince all
those whose intellects are not proof against con-
viction, that England, from one extremity to the
other, from the Land's-end to the Cheviots,
holds but one opinion on the subject of Reform.
The speech of Mr. JAMES, the spirited
M.P. for Carlisle, at the Cumberland meeting,
is worthy of particular attention. It is full of
pith and vigour, was heard with marked atten-
tion, and made a profound impression. The
hints relative to the expediency of ejecting
Ultra-Lords-Lieutenant from their high official
situations were remarkably felicitous, and were
caught up by the meeting with avidity. The
Hon. Member hoped " that dismissals would
be carried into effect with regard to every
servant of the Crown, who has, by vote
or otherwise, endeavoured to thwart the
just wishes of the people.—(Loud cheers—
" Aye, the Lord Lieutenants.") Aye, there was
Lord SHAFTESBURY, too, who was in the re-
ceipt of 3,0001. a year for an office which he
held ; he not only voted against the Bill, but
sent his son down into Dorsetshire for the
express purpose of injuring the present Govern-
ment, and the thousand-times expressed opinion
of the great mass of the people—(' Shame')—
and I hope they will send him from a situation
which he never ought to have filled.—(Great
eleg.)"—The language here held by Mr.
jAiei‘rrinEs,
is the language held by nine-tenths of
the community, who are desirous to see Ultra-
Toryism thoroughly weeded out of the land.
The meeting was remarkable for the good order
I and spirit that characterised its proceedings.

111 r, RiEDGWAY, We observe by our adver-
tisements, announces another of " the Pamphlets" as
being in the kess. Their Lordships, this time, we should
hope will receive the friendly adVice in the spirit it is
offered.

This was an action tried at Guildhall before Mr. Just

the defendant 4,0001. Russian five and half per cent
afterwards the defendant became a bankrupt. It
the part of the plaintiff; that subsequently to th
having obtained his certificate, he wrote a letter
in which he promised to pay the loan and the
Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff
On a former day, Mr. Pollock obtained
aside the verdict and to enter a non-suit, of
that the letter contained only a conditional
and therefore that it was not within the Bankru

To-day Sir J. SCARLETT showed cause agail
and contended that there was a good and valid
letter, and that therefore the verdict ought not t,
