LORD MO RPET lI'S BILL-JUS-

TICE TO IRELAND.

A meeting of the Reformers of Hammersmith, convened
by the Hammersmith Reform Club, took place at Mr. Hether-
ington's, the t.,ity Arms Tavern, on Thursday, Robert %Vat-
son, Esq., in the Chair ; at which the following Resolutions
were moved by Mr. Teakle, and carried unanimously :
That this meeting deeply sympathises with its bi ethren of
the sister kingdom of Ireland, upon the unjust and cruel gr ev-
ances with which they have been afflicted for so many years—
grievances, which, as free men, living in a free State, and
united with a free country, ought long since to have been re-
dressed—grievances which have hitherto exposed Irishmen to
the taunts and jeers of wicked, unprincipled renegades, once
the pretended advocates of liberal and enlightened measures.
That this meeting hails with gratitude, and heartfelt thanks,
the introduction into the House of Commons, by Lord Mon.
peth, of a Bill to define the franchise of the Parliamentary elec-
tors of Ireland, without subjecting them to harassing, vexa-
tious, and expensive proceedings, and offers its best and
warmest acknowledgments to the 301 honourable, indepen-
dent, and patriotic Members, who diligently attended in their
places, from night to night, and recorded their votes in favour
of this very excellent measure of her Majesty's Ministers, the
success or which this meeting considers of paramount import-
ance to the safety and well-being of the State.
That this meeting earnestly implores the Reformers, of all
grades and classes throughout the empire, to forget all
minor differences—to look upon this progressive step of her
Majesty's present Government to explain and define the
Electoral Suffrage, as a strong proof of their desire to bring
back the people at large to that universal feeling for sound
and constitutional liberty, which existed at the time of the
passing of the Reform Act—to watch with jealousy the un-
ceasing efforts of the Tories to seize the reins of Government.,
their only chance of success depending on the supineness of
the great body of Reformers, who, by union, may safely secure
their freedom from invasion by their inveterate enemies, and
to rally round the throne of her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen
Victoria, in order to preserve the civil and religious rights of
her atiaehed and loyal subjects.
That these Resolutions be inserted in six London News-
pacers having the largest circulation, and that copies be printed
and forwarded to the Honourable Members of the house of
Commons who composed the Majority on the late division to do
justice to Ireland.
WILLIAM WICKENS, Hon. Sec.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 2.
The disinclination to purchase on the part of the trade
continues, the market is extremely dull—indeed the trans-
actions are so limited that they are not worth enumerating.
The few sohl have been at prices in favour of the buyer.
We are without any furtber arrivals. The stock of West
India Sugar on the 31st ult., was 669 hhels. and tierces
against 571 at the same period last year.—Bristol Gas.
