bearing in mind his acts when he was before in office, and
his conduct since he had quitted it, they, in their con-
sciences, believed that less would be done by him than
had been done by his predecessors ; that, so far from using
his power to promote, he would use it only to thwart, im-
provement.—(Cheers.) Allusion had been made to the
Irish Coercion Bill, and he would say that he considered
the carrying of that measure was disgraceful to the two
Houses of Parliament—he would add, it was disgraceful to
the people of England, who themselves had shown a great
deal of apathy with regard to that measure.---(Hear, hear.)
He from first to last opposed the Bill, and, having done so,
he trusted it was not unbecoming in him to refer to the
subject, which he did for the purpose of observing, that
whatever might have been the misjudgment exhibited be-
fore—whatever apathy they manifested when the Coercion
Bill was proposed for Ireland—it would be worse than insa-
nity if the people of this country, by any apathy they
evinced now, encouraged an attempt to pass a similar
measure for England.—(.Hear.) Were he to propose an
amendment, it would be one of such a character, that
it would bear unequivocal testimony to the popular
feeling. He would introduce nothing that could be
made a handle of by their opponents ; he would, for
this reason, avoid impugning the late Administration ;
and so viewing the question, he was inclined to give a
preference to the amendment that had been moved by
their Honorary Secretary. By adjourning the present
meeting, they would hereafter be able to meet in a proper
place ; and, sufficient notice being given, they would
doubtless assemble in such numbers, and express their sen-
timents in such decided terms, as would let the present
Administration (or, rather, the Duke of Wellington him-
self, for he might be called the Administration), know the
sort of favour they were likely to experience from the
people.—(Cries of " Go for gold !" " Run to the Bank for
gold !" and cheers.) It was appealing too lightly to the
public feeling, to call for its expression on so short a no-
tice. When the Crown exercised its undoubted preroga-
tive—(Shouts of laughter)—of appointing Ministers, the
people should use their undoubted privilege of deciding on
the Monarch's choice.—(Laughter, and great cheering.)
Such occurrences, thank God, were rare ; but when they
did befal, the people-ought to lose no opportunity of im-
proving them, and turning them to the best possible account.
(Cheers.) They ought now to establish their freedom on
a basis broader than ever.—(Continued cheering.) He for
one would not join in the struggle, did he not think that the
advance of the popular cause was more their object than an
encounter with the individuals of that party who had be-
come hungry for office, after their four years' fast.—( Cheers.)
He united with them, because he believed that they might
now gain their constitutional rights, and secure their po-
litical freedom. The guarantees of the Reform Bill were
insufficient, unless they were secured from corruption and
oppression by the ballot.—(lmmense cheering.) He was
not one who favoured extreme measures. He apprehended
no confusion from the acts of the people. If he appre-
hended confusion at all it was from the apathy of some of
the peoples' friends, and the daring of their enemies.—
(Loud cheers.) They must exert themselves to wring
from the Government the establishment of the constituency
on a more liberal footing than heretofore, which might be
effected by carrying out to a greater extent the principle of
the Reform Bill. Mr. Buller concluded, amidst great
cheering, with strongly urging the propriety of an adjourn-
ment—(Repeated cries of " Adjourn, adjourn,"—which
were kept up almost incessantly till the amendment was
put and carried.).
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Watling-street, recommended them to
act with deliberation, as the surer way of acting with
wisdom. He was happy in being able to communicate to
them, that the gentleman who had proposed the original
resolution, feeling anxious that they should act with unani-
mity, bad expressed his- readiness to withdraw his motion.
—(Cries of " Bravo.")
Much confusion ensued in consequence of a Mr. Gough
persevering in his attempt to address those who occupied
the space under the gallery.
Mr. HAYDON said a few words amidst great uproar.

Mr. ROGERS said, many of his good friends having told
him that they thought he ought to withdraw his resolution,
he had determined fo defer to their judgment, but he would
do go on only ode condition, which was, that the proposed
meeting should be .held in the open air.—(Vehement cries
of " No, no !") Well% then, he would consent to the place
being a large room ; but he expected that due notice would
be given.—( Hear, hear.)
The amendment was put as an original motion, and car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. PowELL said that, on the part of the Committee,
he pledged himself the -Meeting should be called on the
earliest possible moment that a place could be found calcu-
lated to acconimodate them.—(Cheers.) He then moved
a vote of thanks to the Chairman.

Dr. WADE returned thanks, and congratulated the meet-
ing on the gopck.feelin.g that_ had prevailed. He had no
doubt the No* would erive great benefit from the pre-
s-ed: stiriaggre. Of this he felt the fullest confidence, when
he considered that there was a Durham in the field.—(The
cheering was here most enthusiastic, and lasted several
minutes.) There were four things which he considered the
four cardinal political virtues ; these should never be lost
sight of till obtained : they were—an extension of the suf-
frage, the shortening of Parliaments, ballot, and an exten-
sive Church Reform.—(Cheers.)
The meeting broke up at half-past ten o'clock.

On the conclusion of the public meeting, the Committee
retired to their room, where their numbers received a very
considerable accession. Amongst those who joined them
were Mr. Rogers, Mr. Beck, Mr. Murphy, and several
leaders of the extreme Radical party, who took part most
cordially in the proceedings and arrangements for a metro-
politan meeting. At this circumstance we cannot but ex-
press our sincere delight, as it must now convince the To-
ries that, however this party may oppose the Whigs, they
(the Tories) have nothing to hope for from their support.
Sub-committees were appointed to make arrangements for
the meeting, and the Committee adjourned till to-morrow
(this) evening, at eight o'clock, at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-
street, Blaciiars.
