so many ditlerent opinions as to the remedy, though all might
be agreed upon the grievance, that, no remedy could be de-
Videthrpon to thes sahsfattion of ell, without a General Con-
yention which should appoint a Committee to devise the spe-
cific remedy. Much had been said, and much inquiry exhaust..
on the subject of the antiquity of Representation, and on the
Cgiiestions when andhow it begin. Theseihmeeier were oflittle
consequence, and it was of as little whether Representation
was perfect or imperfect. Suppose, tbr the sake of argument,
that they had all continued in a grey
of 'slavery until the pre-
Ae
sent time, was that a reason that they shotthi remain so? Hus
man nature pointed to self-government as a first principle ;
and, if the argument of these antiquarians wam good for any
thing at nil, it was good for the repression of all improvement..
The troubles of our first Charles. were all caused by his at.
tempts to ride forcibly, without a perfect. Parliament; his
successor had endeavoured to reach the same ends by means of
corruption ; and as for the Revolution, althreigh it set about
reeestablishing the rights of the people, it did not do enough.
Besides, even had it done so, many changes. had since taken.
place, which called for eorreaponding changes in the represen-
tation. Many Boroughs hail fallen into decay, and many small
towns had since then become extended and populous. Nume-
rous ode" changes had also arisynflot,g the improvements in

lotion ; but it really appeared tole 4 maxim among the oppo.
' sets of Parliamentary Retbrm, that the state of the repre-
sentation was the only thing which was never. to be advanced.
The increase of the population hue been immense, for it wase
no less than an iron-ease of front seven to twelve millions ; and
if Scotland and Ireland were taken into the calculation, it
rvditld be no less than twenty-one millions. And was this
Vast mass of increase to be unrepresentetit even supposing
time, at the • former time, the former numbers were thirly re-
presented ?
.There was an argument urged, by no less a per-
son that Mr4'. Canning, against the Reformers; us the following
question: To what period will you refer, as that at which the
state of the Representation was complete ?" The answer to
this question was, that the Constitution had always altered ac-
cording to the exigency of the times ; but the increase of the
population alone rendered, the present state cf the repeesenter
non altogether inadequate for its professed purpose. The case
of the Reformers wits therefore completely made out-cm the
Inexelnereage of the population. But it was also necessary to
consider the effete of influence, which hail increased 'beyond
all possible calculation. At the Revolution an enormous na-
tional debt was neither foreseen nor contemplated. In the
reigns of King William the Third anti Queen Anne, the whole
amount of the national revenue was not more than two millions
annually,. while now the expence of only collecting that re-
velfue amounted to four millions. This was an enormous source
M patronage in the Crown, and considerably weakened what..
ever efficiency would Otherwise remain in the present state of
the Representation.—[ The Worthy Alderman here entered in-
to some calculations, skewing in their result that the present
national debt was upwards of 000 millions, and the annual ex-
penditure 60 millions.l.—Another argument in favour of Par-
liamentary Reform was to be drawn taint the keeping up. of a
large standing army in time of peace. Upon entering into a
consideration of this part of the subject_ he had tti express his
regret that there was not a fuller attendance of skleznien, es-
pecially of those who represented the City in.Parliernent, and
yet would not obey the instructions of their constituents. If
`they would not Obey their instructions liey might at least our.
descend to hear their complaintse and the arguments -suggests
ed towards a redress of them, They. bad petitheted year after
year without redress. Retrenchment, it :was true, had been
effected, but none beyond what they had not dared to trust the
patience of the people. The Worthy Alderman again alluded
to the Standing Artitg. Queen Elizabeth desired that the
people should be well eqsed relying on them forprotection.—
We, however, so far front 'this, were passing Acts for breaking • open private dweihng homes, its the dead of night, in search
.of arms; and this with 100,000 men to protect us. We were
obliged to have an artny to cram blessings down our throats.
Anti that army was even cutting down the people at Manehes-
aer—killing them on the streets of London—and attacking a
civil Magistrate in the discharge of ids thity.—{llea,,r hear
The appointments to the 'Army were made to the'Members of
the 'louse of Common*, and thus was influence Woad, so that
to get any thing, 4 man most goon his hands and knees to the
211inister. The influence was openly avowed in that House, as
he himself had heard 'Members do it. It was so obvious that a
large standing army must augment the influence of the minister,
that he should be ashamed to take up their time by Arguing
upon it. He had mentioned the grounds upon which he fbunded
his argument in favour of Reform, end they would be able to
judge for themselves. The fact ofinereased population alone
was sufficient in his opiniont but there were many minor
points, which, although he had omitted, he had not forgotten.
lie alluded to the increase of the excise, and other depart-
ments equally grievous in theirs p
on the nation at
large. • The worthy 'Sidemen proceeded to analyse the state
of the Representation, which, he contended, confirmed the
view he had taken of die founitiable affluence of the Govern-
ment. The worthy Alderman read a paasagr .on this subject
from Mr. *Titmice, Blackstone,' in support of his argument--
What state of representation could
that be Wherein three or
four 'persona of one family, themselves Commistitmers of flo-
vernment departments, tent six Members to Parliament to
burden and oppress the people by voting fresh taxes ? If
this was an old story—an o -told talc—so much the worse,
for that aggravated, instead of lessening, the infamy of the
thing. It was said by Lord Chatham, on the occasion of
sf petition being presented for the recovery of one vote taken
from Middlesex, that it was better for the people to perish
in a glorious contention for their rights than surrender one
iota of their Constitution. He said the people demanded re.
(inn—they Lod grievances' to complain of, and they would
never be tranquil until they were redressed. He would set, nothing; in favour of the they
it was intended to propose
to theme because he was convinced it would be adopted by
BO large a majority upon its own
obvious merits as to re-
quire nothing from him. The cause of Reform had been
gainingifor a century. It gained proselytee daily. lie remem-
bered having endeavoured to persuade Lord Folkestone to be-
come 4 Reformer, without success, dth now all saw how openly he avowed, anti how staunchly beey supported, the
Principles of Retbrm, derived from coneideration and convic-
tion. Ile hoped, if any opposition were to be made to the
business of this day's meeting, it would be in the shaposof fair
reasoning, and Ahat they were not to be treated with any, of
that equivocating dealing about moderate Reform. He Con-
cluded by moving a Resolution, pledging the Court to a Peti-
tion to the House of (Ammons, preying for Reform—(Vide
Ailvertisement.)
Mr. FavE el. seconded the motion of his Hon. Friend. From
the appearance of the meeting that day he till think there was
a gleam of hope that a Reform would be au/tint:4l et last. Ile
conceived this hope from the feeling of the Citizens of London
and of the country, as had been lately' expressed. He consi-
tiered they would have a right to consider the Constitutiein in
danger if they saw a continuance of those majorities in Par-
liament, which they might fairly call corrupt majorities. It
was like trying a cause by a packed ',lury. Upon looking
over his memorandums—more fashionably, perhaps, reminis-
cences, he found that this was the hundredth tiros he had ad-
dressed his fellow citizens, anti chiefly on the great question of
Reform ; and he did now rejoice .to see what progress was
making in a cause for which they had been so

there was danger in a thong's of the Representation, it would
be a good argument against them; for he held it agood maxim

sunsay

elide which the house had consented to go, they should be

became attgmented. He was not afraid of Prerogative, but he
did think that they were losing that check against the influence
and prerogative at the Crown intended in the Institution of the
House of Lords. He had no fear that they should not have

darkened, as the consequence of the general effusion of know.

Mr. S. Dtxore said, he was quite ready to agree to any Re-
formation the precise effects of which could be %retold. But
who would undertake to say where the machine would stop, if
once put in motion ? They had seen Reformations commenced
with the purest motives; and on the most prudent principles,
end in revolution and disaster. If the number of voters were
increased, the Members must, according to emir',. be increased,
and then he feared that 30 days would not enable them to get
through the business of the year,—at present it rerptired
six °months of discussion, tiresome enough, but yet hardly
sufficient. They had been told of the increase of the Ex-
cise as an argument for a change of system. Why,' this increase
could only arise from the flourishing commerce of the coon:

changing, How absurd it was to say to the Agriculturists that
a Iteibmi in Parliament would better their condition It was
from nattarid causes that their distress hail arisen, not from le-
gislation. During the late long and interesting war, the landlord
increased his rent corresponding with the increase of prices;
but when prices fell rent was not lowered. In some cases it
was attempted to "maintain high rents, by artiifidelti)aulltyrreacoisrilinig.
prices, cruelly leaving out of consideration the middling and
lower more numerous classes, who were the consumers. Thus
they would see there was an obvious remedy w
The farmers did very well before this disproportionate risk in
rent took place. On the other hand he did foresee conside-
rable damage likely to accrue from a change in the represen-
tative system of the nature proposed in the Resolution—Were
some manifestation of impatience was evinced.) The Hon.
Oentleman observed that if this was the way he was to be
met, he should beg to decline proceeding. At the samealme,
he should say that this interruption, whether it came from be-
low the bar, or within it, on an important question like this,
it was most disgraceful.
Mr. .lastxs thought that the opposition so unfairly made to
his Ironourable Friend, arose from the apprehension that Ids
argument would be too weighty for the principles of his oppo.
neat. With regard to Reform, he found, on looking at the
dictionary, that it was a change from worse to better ; and-in
that sense he was an advocate for, Reform. It was said, that
those who opposed Reform had no arguinent to offer; • and cer-
tainly if argument signified hold assertion' he admitted the
preponderance was on their side. Reform might be very well :
but he feared that Revolutionists would press hi among the
well-meaning Reformers. Until they could 'see something of
their way in the proposed change, he thought they had better
act upon the safe maxim, " Better bear the ills we heve, than
fly to those we know not of." If their Statesmen were good,
no matter whether they were elected by five or five thousand
voters. It was better not to use doubtful remedies for disease,
when we were represented to be in a state of such rapid ins-
provement. He could not, under this view, assent to the pro.
posed resolution.
Mr. .WELCII said he was a Radical and a Briton. • He look-
ed upon his country a* a tessilated table that he once saw, in
the centre of which a column being raised, he supposed to re.
present the King. Now, he said, cleanse that table from the
reptiles and rtmbbish that at present obscured ft,' and he would
shoulder his musket, and suppert the column to the last. In
the face of day he would say that the. House of Commons was
like the London Workhouse; and he concluded by hoping that
they would all join heart and hand, like a bundle of sticks, In
the cause of Reform.
Mr. SLEADE adverted to the late war, which, he said, hod
placed France in a situation of greater fame, and comfort than
this impoverished country. All the good that the cotiatty pos-
sessed it owed to the people; all the evil that afflicted it had
flowed from the Government. One lion. Gentleman had asked
what was Rethrm ; he would tell him that it was What bad been
proposed and enacted by Parliament in its pure times. He
spoke of the Triennial Bill, and others of the same nature he
hoped the spirit of party would be abandoned, "and unanimity
prevail in the adoption of the Resolutiens before them, and in
the }}treat cause of Reform.
Mr. R. SMITH deprecated the Rersonal attacks of the worthy
Alderman who opened the discussion of that day, which could
not be creditable to any one. He was satisfied with the pre-
sent system of things, and 'that every thing,would be done for
the benefit of the people under the existing state of Govern-
ment that would be done under any other, , As for the clamour
that was raised against a Standing Army, he wits convinced
that the army of the present day, at ;MAIO,. was as much fvr
the protection of the right atilt, subject as when it was only
18,000. Ile should oppose the motion before the Court.
After a few words in favour of the Resolution, Nilo Mr.
Tavtou and Mr. ALLOWA l', •
Mr. CIIOC KER made a few observations in opposition to the
Motion. It was justly observed, that they ought first clearly to'
see the disease before therapplied a doubtful remedy. Now,
be wanted to know whatreason there was sufficiently weighty
to justify a change of the sweeping nature proposed in the pro.
jests of Parliatnentery Reform. The system and the House of
Commons were found to work well, notwithstanding the cla•
moor about corrupt majorities. As to these corrupt majorities, he would cite one in to show how much truth was in the charge. In the year 1821 a vote of censure was proposed upon
Ministers. It was thought by some that they would he forced
to resign ; but the event was otherwise—they had a triumphal
acquittal, and, he bad taken the 'reins to dissect the votes upon
the occasion. From information and research he found that of
the 658 Members in the House of Commons, 37, one way or
another, were alw.ays absent—of those who remained, 204 con-
stantly voted for ministers., and 221 constantly voted with the
Opposition. The remainder, 195, were independent in their
votes,. and with the .House thus constituted, Ministers bad a
majority of upwards of 100. This • fact weadd 'Teak rnore.
plainly, than any thing that could beautid oft the subject of the
alleged corrupt state of the House of Commons.
After a few words from Mr. PATTEN in support of the
motion,
Mr. Alderman WaaTitatax replied.
The Resolution was then put, and carried by a large ma-
jority. '
Mr. Alderman 'WAIT/MIN them proposed the Petition,
which was read;

Mr.
CAWTIIOOht proposed that a Anise alluding to the Ein-
peror of Morocco should be struck ontovhich was agrctil to, as
were some other verbal alterations. The Petition then passed
in very nearly the following form 1.--..

" Siftwvrit—That while your Petitioners, deeply sympa-
thise with the suffering of the Agricultural interests, they beg
to represent to your Honourable House, that they are them-
' selves also auffbring under the pressure of accumulated bur-

ciation of every description of property ; while, after eight years
of profound Peace, no proportionate reduction in taxation has
taken place, nor have any measures been adopted for the re-
moral of national grievances.

" That they have marked the numerous enexoaclunents that
have been made, since the period of the Revolution, upon the
constitutional rights, and consequently upon the property of the
subject, but more particularly the accelerated progress of those
encroachments during the late reign, and since the commence-
'mesa of the late Wat 3 , and they have observed, that those en-
croachments have kept due pace with the corruption, depend-
ence, and consequent inefficiency of the Representatien
t by
which every, or any set of illinisters have been enabled to exer-
cise an uncontrouled influence, and to carry on their projects, however adverse to the interests of the nation.
" That your petitioner* therefore submit, that the present
enormous burthens and distresses of the country have not arisen
front any unforeseen or unavoidable causes, but have been the
necessary result of a long course of enrrupt Influence, extrava-
gam*, and misrule ; el wars rashly and. unjustly undertaken,
suml, of enormous and unnecessary establishments; all of which
could only have arisen, and grown up to their present porten-
tops magnitude, from the want of that constitutional comma'
over the IlettlintS the Crown, which catronlybe found ina
free and uncorrupted representation of the people in l'arliarnent.
" That, without recurring to earlier times, your Petitioners
need only revert to the reign of Charles the First, where the
attempts rirseto mu:Natal the proceedings of, and then to govern
without, a Parliament, brought that deluded .3ionarch to his

- -
unhappy end ; while similar condact in the two, sue: eedirig
reigns, and the more insidious atteitipte Jo corrupt the Parlia-
ment, led to the expulsion of James the Second from the
Throne.

That your Petitioners beg, to impress upon the considera.
Lion of your Honourable How*, that the population, whielear, the Revolution scarcely eXceetted five millions, now exceeds
twelve ruillitins, and including Wales fourteen tnillicuts .; with the population of Scotland end Ireland, amounts to twenty.
one millions. IVidiehis vast increaee el population, extensive
towns have arisen, and industry and property have been directed
