Was there a man amongst them who did not want for a reform
of all abuses and for peace? Then let them all be united,
and stand firm against their enemies. What can you expect
from men who disgrace themselves by the receipt of large
pensions and holding sinecure places ?—who live on the fat of
the land while you are oppressed with difficulties ?—( Cheers.)
From those men he expected nothing—he heard of
the change when he was sojourning in the land of the despots of
the Holy Alliance, amongst whose myrmidons the very name
of the Duke of Wellington created a grin of the utmost self-
satisfaction and delight. When he (Mr. H.) heard of his re-
turn to power, he heard it with very different feelings—with
feelings of melancholy—but he was soon cheered, for he
said to himself that the people who had so very gallantly
achieved one of the greatest moral revolutions without blood-
shed, would never allow jealousy and distrust to enter their
ranks, and without them what could the Tory phalanx do ?
( Cheers.) The present meeting, and those which had taken
place in the City of London, and indeed in every place had told
him his estimate of the people of England was a correct one,
not:only of the meetings that had been held, but had determined
by an overwhelming majority—indeed, with almost perfect
unanimity,—to oppose the Tories at all points, and that they
kept them at the proper place—they would send men to the
House :of Commons who would effectually fight their
battle. He agreed with the last speaker, that the electors
generally should return men to that House belong-
ing to no particular party, but tried and good men woo
would consider the interests of their constituents as their
chief care.—( Cheers.) It was to the House of Com-
mons, therefore, that he looked for their final and triumphant
victory, for to him it appeared improbable that such a
House could be returned as would give the Tories a
majority.—( hear, hear, hear.) He could not for a moment
believe that the men who had so gloriously won
the Reform Bill, would now act in such a manner as would say
to the world that they were then wrong, and were now deter-
mined that Reform should go no further.—( Cheers.) They
now saw that the rottenest part of the Irish Church was to be
upheld—that must be the test upon which the Ministry
must be tried.—( Loud cheers.) They might believe him
that a 'rury was not to be trusted.—( Cheers.) Let not a
Tory who for 30 or 40 years, indeed throughout his whole
political life, had opposed everything which could benefit the
public, get fixed in office. Sir R. Peel had done so, and
had declared that he would never be an apostate, then
who would the trust him?—( Cheers.) They had an example
of Tory promises in the present Lord Mayor, who promised,
before he got into office, upon his honour as a gentleman,
and who said, " only let me be elected Lord Mayor,
and you shall have Halls whenever you like ; but the
moment he got fixed in power, he cried out, " I will not
be interfered with in my office," and broke every
pledge he had given. Tae Tories would do the same
thing if they were allowed to get into the saddle—( Laughter)
if they trusted the Tories they would be served as the citizens
had been by the hollow Lord Mayor.—( Cheers.) He never
could believe that the Administration was the selection
of Sir Robert Peel, and would not believe it till he
heard it from his own mouth. The Duke—the
Duke, was the man.—( Ilear, hear, hear.) The Tories
cried, " Only give us a trial." Do so—that is, only send
them a House in which they have a majority, and then you
place them in power for seven years, for there is the thing—
the people have not a fair chance vs.th the Ministers, for if
they get a bad House, they can keep it by the prerogative for
seven years ; but with a good one they are much more unce-
remonious. They, by the prerogative, send it about their
business. Therefore, he called upon them to take care while
now the power was in their hands. I have been your servant,
and my conduct is now before you—if you send me to the
House for a fourth time, you must take me as I am, and as I
have been you will find no change in me.
( Loud cheers, which lasted for a considerable time.)
One word more, he would promise the meeting that he would
make no compromise with the Tories.—( Great cheering.)
Such a course would be a compromise of the peoples' rights,
and to play, or attempt to play with them, would be a disgrace
to those who had taken the high station they had by the united
voice of the country.—( Great cheering.) The people would
find him in or out of Parliament ready to:support those prin-
ciples which he had always maintained, and which they, as
Britons, had a right to expect.—( Cheers.)
Dr. CARPUS then came forward to propose a vote of thanks I
to the Sheriffs. He was of that party who returned Radicals
—( Immense cheering.) He knew that his body would shssetly
be under the green sod, and all that he was anxious to have
inscribed upon his tomb was—s" here are deposited the re-
mains of a Radical."—( Loud cheering.) Now what was
a Tory and what was a Radical. He had turned over the first
edition of Johnson's Dictionary, arid that learned person de-
scribed the word Tory as a cant word, derived, he supposed,
from the Irish, signifying a savage—( Great cheering)--one
who adheres to the ancient institutions of the state and
hierarchy, and an enemy of the Whigs.—(Cheers and laugh-
ter.) Mr. Ward, at the late meeting of the City of London
and other Tories who were then present, had described meeting'
like the one now assembled as a most ignorant and disloyal set
of men. Mr. H. Twiss had improved on this, and said people like
the present had no voice, and ought to have none, in the State.
--(Cheers and disapprobation.) With respect to the family
at present sitting on the Throne, he believed that a better set
of persons never existed.—( Cheers and hisses.) He knew
the present Royal Family.well.—( Cheers.) He had been
with the present King's sister night and day, and a more
worthy personage, he would undertake to say, never ex-
isted.—( Immense laughter.) Terms had been applied to
meetings like the present that were unworthy any set
of men.—( Hear, hear, hoar,) They had been called
traitors to their King and their country.—( Cheers.) Nov,
what had the Tories dune, that they should be considered men
of such high reputation, and as having done so much vast
good for their country ? Why, they had done every thing in
their power to prevent the present family from ascending the
English throne. Tim present King was placed on the throne
by the Whigs. Ije had, it was true, rights, so had the people,
and they were prepared to defend and support them, even with
their lives,—( Cheers.) The Tories had created 800,000,0001.
of debt ; they had ruined the country, and now they came for-
ward and asked that country to have oonfidence in them.
Had the county of Middlesex confidence in them ?—(No, no.)
He disliked many of the actions of the Whigs, but he es-
teemed them bettor than lie did the Tories.—( Cheers.) The
vessel of the State was now in danger. Every mar, must put
his hand to the pump—if he did so the vessel would be
righted, and the sailors would sing that great national anthem
" Rule Britannia, flritannia rules the waves," The Ds
concluded by moving the resolution, amidst load chs- -• •

by working than by talking, 'Ora-- was to be done
°At in the ppowniln9tAT _..,, cheers.) If the falling
and the Tories. nad been only among the Whigs
b' r* s'would have stood quietly by, and let them
.ne matter out but the time was now arrived when
tie electors shall come forward, and elect those men who
would advocate their cause in Parliament. —( Cheers.) If he
was obliged to choose between the two, he should say the
Whigs were the better rogues.—( Cheers and laughter.) The
time was not far distant when those names would no longer
be known in the country, and when its shores would resound
only with the name of a Reformer. For the sake of the good
cause every minor topic should be sunk in oblivion, and every
one should go hand in hand to support those measures that
would oppose the Tories.—( Great cheers.) In the tom-
fooleries that had taken place at the Lord Mayor's dinner, some
of the present Ministry had stated that if abuses were proved
to exist they would reform them. It was an insult to common
sense to doubt that abuses did exist, and it became every honest
Englishman who loved his King and his country to rally
round those who would fight for the destruction of those abuses.
—( Tremendous cheers.) He was well-known in the Tower
Hamlets as a desperate Radical.—( Great cheering.) Be that
as it may—of this he was sure, that the man who would set his
shoulder to the wheel to cure at the abuses that existed, was the
man entitled to the support not only of the electors of Middlesex,
but of the community at large. The time was not far distant
when Whigs would be Radicals, and he should hail that day
with the greatest satisfaction.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.)
He trusted that the new representatives who would be sent
to Parliament would remove all duties upon corn, and every
other article the duties on which pressed heavily on the people
of England—( Great cheers.)
Dr. CARPUS then put the resolution to the Meeting, which
was carried unanimously.
Mr. Sheriff RAPHAEL returned thanks. Ile feared his ser-
vices had been overrated, but at all times he should be ready
to promote the wishes and welfare of the county at large, and
they would always find him at his post, ready to do his duty to
his king and country.—( Cheers.)
It was then agreed that the resolutions should be adver-
tised in the usual Morning Papers, with the exception of the
Times, for which three groans were given. The meeting
called out for The Sun, as one of the papers in which theb
resolutions should appear, which was agreed to.

The list of the new administration, and the official
ministerial manifesto declaratory of the principles upon which
the Government intends to proceed, are now before the public.
The great characteristic of the new Administration is, that it
is composed of men who have invariably voted against all Re-
form. Agreeably, it may be presumed, to the spirit of the
times, and to the wants and the wishes of the community, a
new position is assumed by the opposers of the great
Mer'siiro of Parliamentary Reform. That measure is now
considered " a final and irrevocable settlement of a great
constitutional question,—a settlement, which no friend to
the peace and welfare of the country would attempt to dis-
turb, either by direct or insidious means." That there will be
no attempt to effect, as has been surmised, a revision of the
me;lsnre, against the adoption of which the members of the r;w
cabinet voted, may be inferred. That they will
up to the
spirit of that measure, which apparent'; ;onus the basis of their
sstent of policy, may be ;.:rationed,
especially when it is con-
;idered faat their former course was in direct opposition to
that which i% now Wended to be adopted.—Doncaster Gaz.
It is believed that the embassy to the Sublime
Porte will be offered to Sir Robert Gordon, who has already
dischkrged the duties of British Envoy at the Court of the
Sultan, antecedent to the appointment of Lord Ponsonby.
The Right Hon. Gentleman has arrived at the Clarendon
Hotel, from his scat in Aberdeenshire, for the purpose of con-
erring with his Grace the Foreign Secretary on the subject of
is contemplated mission.
