PUBLIC MEETING—COUNTY of MIDDSESEX.

In pursuance of a requisition from the freellold6l
electors of the county of Middlesex, addressed to the She-
riffs, requesting them to convene a public meeting for the
purpose of taking into consideration the present political
state of the country, the Sheriffs have appointed the meet-
ing to take place at Lieutenant Hall's Riding School,
Albany-street, New-road, near the Diorama, on Monday,
the 29th day of December next, at 11 for 12 o'clock
precisely.

WINCHESTER ELECTION.

NORTH HANTS DIVISION.

Mr. Knight has withdrawn from the contest, leaving our
present members to walk over the course. This must he
heavy news for the Dictator's ear, that in the very county
in which he resides, and of which he is the Lord Lieute-
nant, the cause of the Tory party is so desperate that the
chance of the election is not worth contending for. A
meeting of several gentlemen, friendly to the cause of Mr.
Knight, took place this day, Dec. 24, in this city, when,
after a deliberation of several hours, it was thought ad-
visable for him to withdraw from a contest in which he had
not the least hopes of succeeding. Both of the present
members have issued their addresses to their constituents ;
Mr. Lefevre invites the electors to examine every vote, and
scrutinize every action of his Parliamentary life, feeling
confident they are in strict accordance with the principles
which first recommended him to the electors of Hamp-
shire, and which have twice received the sanction of their
approbation.

THE TAMWORTH MANIFESTO.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin—The Tamwnrth Manifesto is so wrapped in ambi-
guity that I trurit ybti, of Abilie of yotie contemporaries
without loss of time, give a translation to the public, expla-
natory of that precious document, as the present Parliament
will, in all probability be turned out in a few days, and a
Tory-Reform
improbably
elected by force, bribery, intimida-
tion, and hot by blows, and even bloodshed. I
ask the people of England if they are so imbecile, or so
blind, as not to see the fallacy, design, and imposture of the
following r—" I have taken another course, but I have not
taken it without deep and anxious consideration, as to the
probability that my opinions are so far in unison with those
fs,f tile constituent !bud,/ of the United Kingdom, as to ena-
ble me, and those with whom em tibOut to act, and whose
sentiments are in entire concurrence with my own, to esta-
blish such a claim upon public confidence, as shall enable us
to conduct with VIGOUR and success the government of
this country " by kicking out the present Reform Parlia-
ment. " This speaks voluttiot." 'rho dissolution will take
when all the Tories and Ultra-Tories are mustered and
furnished with tools from the*Treasury, to agitate the nation
for two months, commencing a deadly war against Re-
formers, by bribery, corruption, and the Treasury purse,
in order to obtain a majority of Tories in the Commons
I-louse of' Parliament to reform the abuses of the nation.
What an insult !—vide manifesto—to fetter the prerogative
of the people, and to tell them that they shall have no free
ellulte; but must select their 'representatives from 0116 90O-
don, and one section only, of public men. In short, the
whole manifesto, when fairly analyzed, will prove whether
the author deserves to be trusted first Minister of the
Crown—with a " fait trial," or to take his trial at the" Old
Bailey," at t6OofhthOtiaoa to him at a meeting of the citizens
of London. lie says, speakinc, of the iterOfffll " With
respect to the Reform Bill itself, I will repeat now the de-
claration which I made when I entered the House of Com-
mons, as a Member of the Reformed Parliament that I con-,
sider the Reform Bill a final and irrevocable seittement 15( 8
great Constitutional question—a settlement which no friend
to the peace and welfare of this country would attempt to
disturb, either by direct or by insidious means," Yet in the
face of this assertion the .eformed Parliament is to be turned
out, and the fate of the Reform Bill left in the hands of those
men who opposed it in every stage. When the projected dis-
solution takes place, to obtain a Tory-Reform Parliament,
then will the Manifralo be stigmatin'il as a document of in,
aolent duplicity and falsehood.
SAILOR.

PORSTMOUTIT, DEC. 23.

A number of the friends and supporters of Vice Admi-
ral Sir Charles Rowley, K.C.8., and the electors of the
borough generally, were invited to attend a meeting con-
♦encd for this evening at the Beneficial Society Hall in
Portsea, to meet the Admiral. _ _

The meeting was for seven o'clock, but, long before that
hour arrived, the friends of the new candidate for the suf-
frages of the electors of the borough had taken good care
that all persons, who were not either on the committee of
Sir Charles Rowley, or were known to be favourable to
him, should be excluded from the Hall until the temporary
platform, erected for the convenience of those who pro-
posed to address the meeting, as well as a considerable space
immediately around it, had been thoroughly packed. The
consequence of which was, that the friends and supporters
of Messrs. Carter and Baring, the present Members, and
who attended the meeting, in order to hear the grounds on
which Sir Charles Rowley claimed their support at the ex-
pected election, were by such means entirely precluded
from expressing their sentiments on the occasion, or of tak-
in-, a part in the meeting, if it should appear to be necessary.
Mr. Jour I'. GARRETT (the Chairman of Sir Charles
Rowley's Committee) having been called to the chair, the
business was opened by his reading the advertisement of
the meeting.
Several attempts were made, by various I..ersons friendly
to the Admiral, to address the meeting, but the opposition
was so strong, that for a considerable time. nothing but the
greatest noise and confusion prevailed.
Mr. H. DEACON next attempted to say something to the
meeting in support of the Admiral's claims en the electors, and
of the resolution which he had to propose ; but so thoroughly
indignant were the meeting at the pro:-ninent part he at-
tempted to take in the proceedings of the evening, that
nothing could be heard but cries of " Off, off—turncoat•—•
rat—rat—rat," with various other significant epithets.
He, however, proceeded to read the resolution amidst all
the clamour and confusion that prevailed, but it was ut-
terly impossible to hear the precise words. From all we
could gather, it was a resolution to the effect, " That the
meeting was highly gratified by the prompt manner in
which Sir Charles Rowley had responded to the call that
had been made on him, and that he was entitled to the
cordial and earnest support of the meeting."
A show of hands having been obtained in favour of the
resolution, the Chairman, in a most glaringly partial and
improper manner, declared the resolution carried, without
giving those who were against it the opportunity of ex-
pressing their opinion in a similar way. The scene which
here ensued beggars description. Loud cries of " Put the
resolution," by a most decided majority, accompanied by
every demonstration of just indignation at the conduct of
the Chairman followed, when it was found that the resolu-
tion was declared to be thus carried by.the Chairman.
During the uproar Sir Charles Rowley attempted to
address the meeting, but not a syllable could be heard, ex-
cept by such as were immediately at his elbow. Find-
ing, however, that his endeavours to obtain a hearing
were perfectly fruitless, Sir Charles, accompanied by
the Chairman, who had by this time vacated the
chair, left the room. Upon this being observed, there
were cries from all parts of the room, calling on Mr.
Lang, an active and zealous friend of Messrs. Carter
and Baring to take the chair, and which he expressed his
readiness to do, and proceeded across the room accompa-
nied by several friends for that purpose, but on his attempt-
ing to get on the platform to take possession of the vacated
chair, he was most grossly attacked by a party of ruffians,
(for they are unworthy of any other name) who had re-
tained possession of the platform, for the sole purpose of
preventing the electors of this borough from doing what the
independent electors of Devenport did at a meeting called
by the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson, the new Secretary of
the Admiralty, and which ended in his signal defeat. Such
we say was the virtual effect of the meeting to-night. If
the Gallant Admiral grounds his claims to the support of
the electors of this borough to being able to say " ditto" to
all that is contained in the memorable address of Sir Ro-
bert Peel to the electors of Tamworth, and, in fact, the
Gallant Admiral's address says no more, then his chance of
election is remote indeed. The people of Portsmouth are
not to be gulled by such Reformers as Sir Robert Peel, or
those who are associated with him in the Government. He
cannot for a moment suppose that the Gallant Admiral
will persist in his canvass after the demonstration of this
evening—but if he should have the hardihood to go to a
poll, he may rest assured that there is no prospect for
him but defeat. We would advise his Majesty's Govern-
ment to recall the nominee whom they have kindly pleased
to order down, to save us the trouble of thinking for our-
selves, and send him to take an fresh lesson from the Tam-
worth Baronet.

A
SIMPLE TREATMENT OF DROPSY.—ATI intimate
friend of mine, a timber-merchant in London, was very ill of
the dropsy, and, at the suggestion of an individual, he took
oatmeal mixed with a little water, the effect of which upon his
complaint was very salutary ; the dry quality of the meal appa-
rently absorbing the water in the system. It is conceived this
hint may be useful to suffering humanity.--1 P. BOURN.
Leadenhall-market presented a grand display of
meat of all sorts yesterday, in addition to the prize oxen and
sheep, all of which was of prime quality. The lambs were
unusually fine, and the poultry and wild fowl were in great
abundance. Coaches filled inside and loaded outside also,
with Norfolk turkeys, arrived in the courseof Tuesday and
yesterday, in prime condition. Newgate-market also presented,
a grand show, and both markets were crowded with curious
persons, who are generally attracted to the market in QlriA-
mas time.

On Saturday, a man named Cater, of Acethorpe,
near Louth, who was working in a chalk-pit at Coach Grange,
was suddenly covered with a quantity of chalk, which, having
been undermined, fell with an awful crash. The poor fellow
was dug out as soon as possible, but so dreadfully mutilated
that his life is despaired of.—Boston Herald.

On Tuesday last, a young woman named Brod-
dell, residing at Aisterby, near Louth, and who had come to
the latter place on a visit to her friends, after saying that she
was tired of living, took a quantity of arsenic, from the effects
of which she died soon after.—Boston Herald.

END OF A PRIZE-FIGHTER.--Paddy Flynn, for-
merly known in the prize ring, has been shot in New South
Wales, having
i adopted the sporting profession of a " bush-
ranger," and n making his escape from a policeman was
brought down by a leaden messenger.—Sunday Paper.
One of the younger branches of the family of Louis
Philip, when questioned on points of geography, persisted in
calling the Philippine Islands the Islands of the Robbers,
which are, in fact, in the same ocean. He has been punished
for his mistake.
On Monday evening, as Captain Bainbridge, of
Park-street, Grosvenor-square, was in the act of lifting in his
arms one of his two sons who acecmpanied him, that the boy
might, have a vit:w of the prize meat exhibited in the shop of
Mr. Giblet, in Bond-street, the swell moi,, by whom he was
surrounded, contrived to rob him of his gold watch and seals
valued at ninety guineas.
AWFUL BEREAVENIENT.---Mr. William North,
of !lough, near Sleaford, has, in the short space of eleven
days, lost three of his children in rapid succession,_ viz., Be tsy,
on the 14th ult. aged 14 years ; Rue'oen, on the 19th ult...
aged 7 years ; and Sarah Ann, on the 25th ult., aged 4 years.
Thus have the younger branches of this united and interesting
family been cut off by death almost at a stroke.
INCENDIARISM.—A fire took place between five
and six o'clock on Thursday morning last at the village of
Loughborough, near Stow, in the rickyard of Mr. Meadows,
a farmer of that place, and destreyed two straw and one stub-
ble rick, but fortunately, through the exertions of the labour-
ing class (in particular be it spoken to their praise), the corn
ricks were saved. Every person was seen with a pail in his
hand endeavouring to extinguish the devouring element, until
the arrival of the fire-engine from Morten-in-the-Marsh, when
happily it was got under. We cannot speak too highly in the
praise of the worthy pastor of the village, the Rev. C. Jeaffre-
son Baldry, who was seen using every exertion during the
whole time. Mr. Otway was likewise at his post, as usual,
and has succeeded in capturing a youth, named Moses Weston,
on suspicion of setting the ricks on fire. A private examina-
tion before our sitting Magistrates has been gone through to-
day (Thursday), and he will be again brought up for re-exa-
mination on Wednesday next. That it is the act of an ineen-
i diary there is no doubt.—Gloucestershire Chronicle.
