adopting those measures best fitted to the wants and
intelligence of the community, by the amendment
of the representation of the people, as intended to
be proposed to the House of Commons, by Mr.
Hume."

Mr. :Joseph Child, the senior churchwarden, oc-
cupied the chair, supported by General fir de Lacy
Evans and Mr. C. Lushington, the Members for
Westminster, who had been invited to attend.
Mr. GEORGE said it would be well for the interest
of the country that the most explicit denial should
he given to the Premier's recent declaration by the
middle classes of society, and their opinions being
known, to create such a movement as would overcome
every obstacle. In that room he had no doubt that
every man was a special constable, sworn to maintain
the peace of the metropolis. Their loyalty, therefore,
could not be doubted. But let not the Govern-
ment be mistaken. Their loyalty was not to suffer
long-exposed abuses to exist, but to determine to
remove them ; not to march out against the poorer
classes of society, but to promote such measures as
would attach them to the throne and constitution of
the country.—(Cheers.) They could be endeared to
the constitution and laws only by having an interest
in the country. The Government had had an example
on the Continentof the effectof resisting such reforms,
particularly electoral reform, as were called for by
the thinking portion of the community. Let the
Government, therefore, take warning. He was
opposed to great convulsionsi but if the Government
refused to grant the just &Mends of the people, a
great revolution must be the result.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. George concluded by moving—" That Lord
John Russell's assertion that the people of England
do not require any further reform in the House of
Commons is totally opposed to truth, and is evidence
of his ignorance of the present state of the country;
that it is the opinion of this meeting that, in order
to secure the stability of the institutions of the country
and maintain public tranquillity, it is necessary-Ist,
That the elective franchise should be so extended as
to include all householders. 2dly, That votes should
be taken by ballot. idly, That the duration of
Parliaments should not exceed three years. And
4thly, That the apportionment of Members to popu-
lation should be made more equal."
Mr. JOSEPH ROGERS seconded the resolution. •
Mr. BARRY moved and Mr. THROWERS seconded
an amendment, substituting the words " residential
suffrage" for household suffrage, but on a show of
hands the original motion was carded by a large ma-
jority.
It was then resolved, on the motion of Mr. GRANT,
seconded by Mr. IIiNToN, that a petition to the
House of Commons, praying for the above objects,
be entrusted to the representatives of Westminster for
presentation.
General Sir DE LACY EVANS, M.P., then addressed
the meeting. He was glad that he had received an
invitation to attend that meeting, because the present
interested
in a critical time, when it became all men
in the public welfare to meet and consult together for
the common safety and the prosperity of the country.
The meeting was a genuine expression of the
public feeling in the locality, and he hoped it would
be followed by meetings in every parish in WestWestmin-
ster.lf they did not continue to agitate, the Liberal
Members of the House of Commons stood no chance,

the House, their wishes must be carried into effect.—
(Hear, hear.) He approved of all the points of re-
form embraced in the motion of Mr. Hurne and that
was a proof that he had not, as had been alleged by a
small section of the Reform Association, abandoned
his old political principles.
Mr. LUSEJINGTON, M.P., also expressed his deter-
mination to support Mr. Hume on the 20th inst.
after which a vote of thanks was passed to both Hon.'
Members for their attendance, and to the chairman
for presiding, and the meeting separated.

WORCESTER.
MONDAY.—The Reformers of the 0 faithful city "
of Worcester, eiriias in bcllo pace in fidelis, are be-
stirring themselves, and taking measures with the
view of forwarding tire movement in favour of Mr.
Ilume's proposition for further reform. Several pre-
liminary meetings have been held, at which it has
been resolved to recommend all classes of Suffragists
and Reformers to unite in promoting the agitation for
a new Reform Bill. Some difference of opinion exists
as to the length to which the different parties ure
willing to go in measures of reform ; but at a final
meeting held at the Guildhall, the Mayor, E. Webb,
F.,q.,in the chair, it has been resolved to convene a
public meeting of the inhabitants to hear an expres-
,ion of their opinion on the subject. At this meeting,
which will be held on Thursday next, petitions to
_ . . . . ..

Parliament will be submitted in favour of an extension
of the suffrage. vote by ballot, equal electoral districts,
and triennial Parliaments.

The Reformers here have made an attempt to enlist
the Chartists in their proceedings, with a view of con-
ciliation, and preventing any collision at the public
meeting ' • but they (the Chartists) are unwilling to
join the Reformers ; and at present their intentions
are not known. The Chartists form a weak but very
troublesome and mischievous body here.

TATTE: ZSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
There was a very full attendance yesterday, and the
rain having rendered it impossible to transact business
in the circle, the settling proceeded with very great in-
convenience to every one present. The accounts were
heavy, but we are not aware that there were any absen-
tees in addition to those already in default on the Derby.
none of whom, we believe, have made any arrangement
with their creditors. The following is as full and cor-
rect a statement of the betting as the crowded state of
the room enabled us to collect:—

EFFECTS OF THE THUNDER-STORM.—Last evening
a violent thunder-storm passed over the metropolis. The
vivid flashes of lightning, coupled with the rapid heavy
peals of thunder which followed each other in quick suc-
cession, proved the proximity of the electric fluid. A
Mr. Scott, of Harrow Weald, between Willesden and
Harrow, bad a fine cow and two yearlings killed on the
spot, near an old elm tree, under which it is supposed
they had sought shelter from the rain. A poor man,
who had been doing some field-work on the farm, was
incautious enough to seek shelter at the same place; but
he was unhappily struck by, the lightning, and brought
into town for surgical aid, beuig in a state of insensibility
and blindness.
