ADDRESS TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

( From the nunton Courier of Wednesday.)
It being expected that Lord John Moen Would in the
could td this week pass through this town on his route td
Endsleigh, a publie Meeting was on Friday last agreed to be
held at the Guildhall, " for the purpose of agreeing to an
Address to his Lordship, expressive of the gratitude of the
town and neighbourheed of Taunton, for the manly,' dig-
nified, and vatrintit course which his Lordship has followed
during the sate Session of Parliament, and to Okpress their
admiration of the firm and Conciliatory conduct of the
Right Hon. Lord Viscount Melbourne and the other
Members of hit Majesty's Government, under the trying
eircutniitances to which they have been lately exposed."
Soon after ten the Guildhall was completely filled by the
inhabitants. On the bench were also Sir T. B. Leth-
bridge. Pest., Reverend W. Thomas, Doctor Kinglake,
Doctor 131ake, R. M. King, R. Beauchamp, A. Crosse,
J. Snowden, Esqs., and other respectable gentlemen.
Sir T. B. LETlll3lttbnE submitted an Address to Lord
John Russell 1 and in the course of a manly and eloquent
speech, adverted to the great debt of gratitude which the.
country owed to Lord John Russell, for the Reform Bill,
and to the Municipal Rill as one of its excellent fruits.
The following is the Address proposed
" MY Loan—As soon as it was announced that your Lord-
ship Was about to visit this part of the country, on your road
into Devonshire, a strong desire was immediately evinced by
those friends of reform who were acquainted with the circum-
stance, to express in the most public manner their high sense
of those important national benefits which your unwearied
zeal and unflinching perseverance have conferred on all classes
of your fellow-subjects.
" And it is, my Lord, with equal pride and satisfaction, that
whilst we most cordially thank, we can also congratulate you,
on the successful termination of another great step in reform—
the Municipal Reform Bill, which was so wisely originated
and so ably completed, under your discreet superintendence
and control.

" This measure we consider another guarantee for the per-
petuation of the rights and liberties of the people, and in its
effects to be second only to that great modern charter of our
country, the Reform which we well remember was also
in a great degree the' result of your Lordship's indefatigable
exertion.

" 13y these acts of legislation your Lordship has eminently
deserved, and will surely obtain, an imperishable fame ; whilst
your country will derive additional securities for her liberties
and freedom, which it is hoped neither time nor circumstance
will ever destroy.
" Animated with these reflections; we naturally and grate-
fully turn to your able colleagues, and especially Lord Vis-
count Melbourne, the First Minister of the Crown, to whom a
heavy debt of obligation is due for his manly and firm adhe-
rence to that statesmanlike policy which has enabled him,
amidst the most trying di culties, to uphold inviolate and
without compromise those great principles of reform which
are the invincible basis of his government, and thereby, in
despite of a party, deluded, as it would appear, by notions
as antiquated as they are uncongenial, with the feelings and
interests of the nation at large, ho has exhibited an example of
political integrity and inflexible patriotism seldom 'surpassed
and never to be forgotten.
" We deeply lament that this example has been so unduly
appreciated, and so ill followed by the majority of the House
of Lords, and that their Lordships should have been induced so
unwisely to mutilate and destroy so many Bills, upon most im-
Portant matters, sent to them by the Commons. We had hoped
better things from a body of men whose high privileges have
been conferred upon them for the public good, and the recol-
lections of which should have ensured a more ready compli-
ance, as well as a more grateful attention to the wants and in-
terests of the people.
•" But it is consolatory, my Lord, to observe, that notwith-
standing the obstacles so mischievously and so injudiciously
thrown in the way, a position' has been gained, from•whence
in future a propelling power will be found, through whose
medium and certain completion of all ulterior reforms both in
Church and State can be obtained.

" In conclusion, we feel confident, my Lord, that under
your Lordship's guidance and endeavours, every amendment
in our institutions which a sound discietion and a liberal spirit
can justify, will not only be proposed, but ultimately carried,
and we firmly believe that those enlightened councils which
have hitherto prevailed, will continue to actuate your Lord-
ship and the administration to which you hold so prominent
a part."

NEWTON LEE, Esq., amidst considerable opposition,
rose to move an amendment. In various parts of this
gentleman's speech, in which he inveighed against Lord
John Russell, for having, as he alleged, succumbed to the
influence of O'Connell, he was interrupted by jeering re-
marks and hostile indications of political sentiment.
Mr. Snowden, Mr. Bunter, and the Chairman, Dr.
Blake, urged upon the meeting the policy and duty of a
patient hearing for Mr. Lee ; and that gentleman ac-
cordingly proceeded in'terms of reproof of Ministers for
the manner adopted in respect to the Speakership, and
other points of their administration, and concluded, amidst
laughter and hisses, by moving " that the address be con-
sidered that day six. months."
J. SNOWDEN, Esq., replied to the last speaker in a forci-
ble and argumentative speech, which elicited much applause ;
and was followed by
J. BUNTER, Esq., in a cogent and eloquent address,
which was repeatedly cheered by the meeting ; after which,
Mr. N. LEE proposed to withdraw his amendment ; this
was resisted by the meeting, which insisted upon having it
put from the Chair. ,

Dr. BLAKE (Sir T. Lethbridge having replied to the
remarks of Mr. Lec) submitted the amendment to the
Meeting, in favour of which only eight hands were held
up. The original Address was then put, and carried by
acclamation.

Three hearty cheers were then respectively given for
Lord John Russell and Lord Melbourne. A similar com-
pliment was paid to Sir T. Lethbridge.
A deputation for conveying the address to Lord John
Russell, consisting of Sir 'l'. Lethbridge, Rev. W. P.
Thomas, Drs. Blake and Kinglake, J. Snowden, It. King,
A. Crosse, J. Beauchamp, and J. Bunter, Esqrs., was ap-
pointed.
They were graciously received by his Lordship, who
returned the following answer :
" GENTLEMEN,-1 beg to return you, in the name of my
Colleagues, as well as my own, our warmest thanks for this
mark of your approbation and regard.
" The support and confidence of the country, which are at
all times necessary for the successful administration of affairs,
was at no time more required than at the moment when Lord
Melbourne was recalled to the service of the Crown.

" That confidence and support have been, I am proud to
acknowledge, generously and largely given to the present ad-
visers of the King.
" It has been our endeavour to combine the progress of use-
ful and practical Reform, with the maintenance of our Insti-
tutions, the continuance of tranquillity at home, and the pre-
servation of peace abroad ; nor do I see any cause fcr hesita-
tion, far less for despondency, in the prosecution of that en-
deavour; no authority however venerable—no power however
established, can long resist among us the force of public
opinion when enlightened by discussion, and matured by de-
liberation.

" I trust that the provisions of the Act which has just passed
for regulating Municipal Corporations, will lay the foundation
of many improvements in the management of Corporate
Funds, in the Administration of Justice, in the maintenance
of order ; above all, it has the merit of substituting popular
Representation far self-election in the government of our
towns. It is a change of which the consequences will be felt
extensively by the present age, and remotely by posterity."

DAMP CHURCHES.—The church at Ringwood,
Hants, has double doors, one set having, as usual, solid
panels, and the other panels of open work ; the latter are
only closed in fine weather, so that a current of air passes
through the church, which is thus kept always thoroughly
ventilated—a practice which seems to deserve general adop-
tion.—Devizes Gazette.

As Mr. J. Wood, of Manningham, was returning
home from Idle, by way of Bradford, on Friday evening
week, he was attacked
.by six men. who came out of a no-
torious beer-shop, at a place called Bolton-out-Lanes, who,
after knocking him down, kicked him with their feet in the
most cruel manner. However, they succeeded in taking
nothing from him except his hat and stick.—Halifax Ex-
prem.
