The Petersburgh Journal of the 21st says, that the
cholera had much abated on the 16th, 17th, and 18th,
the number of new cases having been seventeen, ten, and
five, in the same three days; thirty-seven recovered, and
nine died. On the whole, the disorder has been far less
fatal at Presburg than elsewhere, the total number of
persons attacked from 9th September to 18th October,
having been 1,012, of whom only 169 died-107 re-
covered. At Vienna, Oct. 22, there was no new case;
eight recoveries, and one death.

Tha great Sussex Reform meeting took place
yesterday at Lewes. This, it may be remem-
bered, was one of the counties which the
boroughmorTers asserted had evinced strong
symptoms of re-action, and which was already
penitent on the subject of Reform. Truly the
re-action and the penitence of Sussex were yester-
day most conspicuously displayed ; first, in the
numbers of freeholders assembled at the meeting ;
secondly, in the language of the speakers ;
thirdly, in the way in which Mr. GEORGE DAw-
SON'S Anti-Reform diatribes were received ; and
fourthly, in the quality of the resolutions pro-
posed and unanimously adopted. What a re-
markably repentant spirit develops itself in the
observation of Lord CHICHESTER, that " every
honest Englishman, who values the liberties of
his country, should labour heart and hand in the
promotion of a measure which went to put an
end to a find system, and to substitute in its place
one conducive to the development of the energies
of a moral and Christian people !" What can ex-
ceed the contrite disposition of Sir GODFRY
WEBSTER (one of the most respectable, intelli-
gent, and influential landowners in Sussex), where
he says, " I will never rest from my efforts, nor
relax my purpose, till I see the Bishops removed
from their seats in the House of Lords, and
confined to the exercise of their spiritual duties.
( Tremendous cheering.) Unless they mend
their ways, I tell them that their tithes and their
Bishoprics will have a common end, that is, a
common destruction ?"—(Cheers.) But if Lord
CHICHESTER and Sir GODFREY WEBSTEIt
are repentant, Colonel EVANS is a positive ultra
in his contrition, the ne plus ultra of the spirit
of re-action. The gallant Colonel regretted
that " the language of the resolutions was not
more forcible. He was one who thought that
the term unjust' was most correctly expres-
sive of the conduct of the House of Lords
in rejecting the Reform Bill ; and he was also
one who considered that the Right Rev. Prelates
on that occasion were conducive to the perpetua-
tion of a most immoral, most irreligious, a most
unjust system !" Truly these are symptoms of
repentance and re-action with a vengeance !
When the boroughmongers asserted, both in
pamphlets and in Parliament, that the freeholders
of Sussex were becoming indifferent to Reform,
they were guilty either of a most brazen false-
hood, or most unpardonable ignorance. If they
lied, then they have proved themselves no longer
trustworthy, no longer to be believed on their
oaths ; if they merely erred from ignorance, then
it is abundantly manifest that men so profoundly
—so unblushingly—so unpardonably ignorant,
are not the men to legislate for a mighty kingdom
in a season of convulsion like the present. On
one of the horns of this dilemma they must be
content to be spiked. We give them their choice;
either is quite enough to damn the reputation
of any Legislator, or body of Legislators.

But incompetent as these men have shown
themselves in every act of their political lives ;
unacquainted as they are with the real feelings
of the country, and stone-blind to all interests
but those of their own party ; hated—scorned
—feared—and yet laughed at, as they are by all
classes of the community, still they are strong,
like the old man's bundle of faggots, in unity,
powerful by wealth—the plunder of ages—and
mischievous from the necessities of their nature.
They must therefore be sharply looked after ;
their proceedings must be watched ; their calum•
nics must be exposed ; and a mark must be set upon
their spies; for the faction has as many heads as
the Hydra, and as many hands as Briareus.
Even now it is at work in a thousand dif-
ferent directions ; stirring up disturbances,
and sowing the seeds of disunion among
the Reformers, in die hope that when all
parties are fairly set together by the ears, it may
slip into power during the squabble. But we
tell this perverse—malignant faction, that the eyes
of the country are upon it : that already it is un-
masked, and stands out in all its naked defor-
mity ; and that even the presence of the cholera
itself; in the very heart of this great metropolis,
would be viewed with less dread than the return
of the boroughmongers to office.
Nevertheless the battle is not yet won. The
people must still meet—still persevere —still in-
sist—on a full, sweeping, and efficient Reform.
But above all things, they must be peace-
fill and orderly in their proceedings.
There must be no violence—no display of
energy beyond what reason and the laws of the
Constitution allow them to exhibit. To the
working classes we more particularly address
these exhortations, and would add, besides, that
if they really desire to obtain a Reform, which
may tend to lighten the burdens of each indivi-
dual among them, their only sine way to gain
such a blessing, is to show, by the moderation of
their proceedings, that they are entitled to it,
If they be violent or outrageous in their conduct,
this alone will be a convincing proof to their
well-wishers that they are not fit to be entrusted
with an elective franchise. Universal Suffrage

indeed ! For the benefit of men who cannot
even meet to discuss their rights without exciting
a commotion, and putting the peace of the
neighbourhood in jeopardy ! Preposterous idea!
Such will be the language of every respectable
class or the community, should the lower orders

degrade themselves by violence and uproar. We
conjure them then, for their own sakes, to be
peaceable. The day is not far distant which
will bring justice home to their own doors. Let
the present Reform question be once fairly
settled, and they will at once be put in the way
of obtaining all they can with reason demand.

The Court of Alde►men has had at length the

discretion to meet the wishes of the Livery, by elect-
ing Sir JOHN KEY to the Mayoralty of the City.
The conduct of the Aldermen, in twice defying
the civic commonalty, is so absurd as to be an
excellent burlesque on that of the House of
Lords, and the result has been, what the result
will assuredly be elsewhere—that the voice of the
many has triumphed over that of the few. Sir
JOHN KEY was chosen by the Livery, wholly
and Solely because he was committed to the sup-
port of the Reform Bill, and his triumph is con-
sequently the triumph of the Bill in the City.
Beyond his zeal for Reform, it must be con-
fessed that the claims of Sir JOHN KEY to a
second Mayoralty were not peculiarly forcible ;
for his behaviour on the occasion of the KING'S

intended visit to the City was singularly foolish,
and his expressions towards the rioters at the
general illumination were not such as a perfectly
independent Magistrate, without a particular
bias, would probably have used. He was known,
however, to be a thick and thin supporter of the
reforming Ministers, and that impression has
been sufficient to carry him through tho most
arduous contest that is recorded in the City an-
nals. The perseverance and unanimity of the
Livery throughout the struggle is beyond all
praise, and ought to be an example throughout
England of what can be effected by undaunted
firmness, and especially by a close union for the
common cause, to the exclusion of all the sects
and divisions of parties of minor interest.
Much has been said against the Political
Unions that are now in the course of formation,
on the ground 41 the divisions in society, the
imperia in imperio, which they are supposed
to be the means of raising up. But such ob-
jections appear to us to consist rather in words
than in facts. It was not the Catholic Asso-
ciation that disturbed the peace of Ireland, but
the long wrongful withholding of the rights of
the Catholics. So, it is now the rejection of
Reform that endangers the public peace, and
not the formation of the people into Unions—
for those Unions have the preservation of the
public order as much for their object, as the
acquisition of popular rights. If the Bir-
mingham Union be an imperium
in int-
perio, as it is called, what matters it, so long
as its proceedings arc conformable to the law,

and calculated to advance the national welfare'
The truth is, we have come to that point, that
the people are convinced of the necessity of
taking their own affairs in hand, and of looking
after them with the watchful- vigilance of those
who seek to rise up early, and late take rest.
The people place all reasonable confidence in an
upright Government, but that is no reason why
they should give up all active interference with
the concern in which their stake is far greater
than that of any Ministers, or others under au-
thority—for in the last resort the people must
always be sovereigns, happen what may.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

- - - . - - -
It is with great pleasure we have to communicate to the public
the following extract of a letter, received at the North and South
American Coffee-house, from a medical gentleman at Sunder..
land, dated November 3 :—" No new cases of cholera have oc-
curred for the last two days."
The only arrival we have this morning is from Madras, of the
16th of June.

The following is extracted from the Madras Gazette of the
15th of June, received at the North and South American Coffee-
house :—llis Majesty's ship Success is hourly expected here, and
is to convey home the remainder of the gallant Royal regiment.
In the Hurkaru of Monday last we stated that the station of
Berhampore, and of his Majesty's 49th regiment, was reported to
be unhealthy, but by a communication from the commanding
officer of the 49th, dated Berhampore, 25th instant, we are en-
abled to contradict the paragraph, that fine regiment is particu-
larly healthy, not an officer in the corps at the date of Colonel
Bartley's letter was indisposed, except the Assistant-Surgeon.
From Bombay they state that the plague was making great ra-
vages at Bussorah.
It is mentioned in a private letter from Bombay of the 2d inst.,
that 11,000 chests of Malwa opium, were expected to be exported
to China this season from Bombay and Demacun ; cotton is repre-
presented as falling in price.
By the arrival of the Company's brig of war, Nautilus, from
Barbary, we learn that the cholera had been making fearful
ravages among the natives there; whole aistricts have been depo
pulated.
We have no further political news, Other from Holland or
Belgium, to the present hour.
THE FUXDS.
This day being the sth of November, the Bank, Stock Ex-
change and Foreign Market are closed. The Royal Exchange
will be opened at two o'clock.
Consols may be quoted, as done in the Court, at 82% to %.
HALF•PAST ONE.

The anxiety expressed in the city, respecting the cholera mor-
bus having appeared at Sunderland, is still great, though, ac-
cording to all the accounts we have seen or heard it is by no
means ,iarming. It is generally thought amongst the well-in-
formed that it is the typhus fever, as no new cases have occurred
fr, two days ; the public mind is at present a great deal snore
calm than yesterday, and the matter is now treated lightly.
The Royal I.:xchange has been opened since twelve o'clock, at
which place most of the stock-brokers and jobbers have assims-
bled. There is but little doing in the Funds. Consols have been
done at 82% %, and 8'2%, at which price they are at present.
A report prevails that the meeting at the White Conduit_
house, fixed for Monday, is put off. This is only report.
Nothing doing in the Foreign Funds.
THREE O'CLOCK.
