FOX-HUNTING.

The spring meeting of the Duke of Buccleuch's hunt in
this district, closed on Saturday last, when the hounds
threw off at Carfrxmill. During the whole season the
sport has been excellent; foxes have been very abundant;
and the dry season, though perhaps not exactly what a true
sportsman would have desired, has held out so many in-
ducements to field exercise, that the hunt has, generally,
been not only popular in the country, hut has been at-
tended by many of the most eminent north-country sports-
men. In addition to the field sports, the distinguished in-
dividuals attending the hunt, have enjoyed in great per'ec-
tion the exhilarating sport of salmon fishing in the Tweed,
an amusement which, we are happy to understand, the
recently enacted regulations as to the Tweed fisheries have
already materially improved. Among the fashionable
company attending the hunt, at their head-quarters at the
Cross Keys Hotel here, throughout the season, we may
mention the following :—Lord Eicho, Lord John Scott,
John Campbell, Esq. of Glensaddle, William Forbes, Esq.
of Callender House, Major Dalzell, of Dalzell Lodge, Sir
David Baird, Bart. of Newhyth, Sir David Kinloch, Bart.
of Gilinerton, Captain John Forbes, Coldstream Guards,
Captain Richardson, 3d Dragoon Guards, Captain Max-
well, of Monreith, Captain Smith, Adam Hay, Esq. of
Duddingston, Captain Buckle, of Newhall, Major Saint
Paul, of Ewart Park, Sir John S. Fotbes, Bart. William
Hay, Esq. of Drummelzier, Robert Wilkie, Esq. of Lady-
thorn, James Wilkie, Esq. of Foulden! Captain Barclay
Allardyce, of Ury, the Hon. Captain Keith, the Earl of
Kintore, George Baillie, Esq. yr. of Jerviswoode, Messrs.
Spottiswoode, of Spottiswoode, &c. &c.—Kelso Mail.

Much conversation and regret in certain
political coteries have arisen in consequence of an alleged
coolness between two prominent 31embers of the previous
Adtninistration. The cause of this alteration in the senti-
ments of these distinguished individuals is involved in
much mystery; but there are some people who attribute it
to a supposed want of energy on the part of one of them
in opposing the progress of the 114ortn
Rada,

Mr. GEORGE ROGERS, at the request of the Com-
mittee, rose to move the adoption of certain resolu-
tions which had been considered worthy their at-
tention, whereon to found the bases of motions to he
proposed to a general meeting of the Union. He
certainly was one of those who had placed an entire
reliance on the skill and sincerity of their pilot, and
he had seen no reason to doubt his integrity, or to
repent a misplaced confidence. Yet, though he had
every respect for my Lord Grey, he was riot so san-
guine in the exertions of those who had tendered
him their support. There was very little doubt that
the knot of pseudo-reformers who have luke-warmly
given their support for the second reading of the
Bill, will seize every advantage of grappling with its
contents, will exert all their influence in endeavour-
ing to smother their reluctantly-adopted child, will
strain every nerve to render its principles less demo-
cratic, and therefore less useful and less acceptable.
At the last meeting of the Cnu"cil he had made
some observations on what had fallen from my Lord
Grey, in his reply on the second reading of the Bill;
and as those observations had been the subject of
many adverse remarks in the daily Papers since, he
had procured the best edition of his speech, in order
to set himself and his Lordship right in the opinion of
the people. "Although (says his Lordship) I think
56 boroughs ought to be disfranchised—although I
should be very sorry to see a less number disfran-
chised—and although I think the ten-pound
franchise is not too great an extension of the
qualification—still these provisions are no part
of the principles of the Bill." So says his
Lordship, and if he is correct, then have the people
been misled. But his Lordship continues—" and
these provisions may be altered in perfect- consis-
tency with its principles. That is, the principles—
for its provisions are here its principles—may be
altered in consistency v, ith its principles." " But
(resumes his Lordship), it is said that I will not
consent to any alteration. To this assertion I can
only repeat the answer I made to a similar one last
October—lt does not depend on me; but on your
Lordships. When the Bill goes into Committee,
I shall certainly feel it to he my duty to resist any
alterations which I now think inconsistent with the
main object which this Bill proposes to carry into
effect. But if it can be shown that any injustice
has inadvertently crept into any one of the scbe-
dules—if it can be shown that any qualification not
so small as 101. would be less open to fraud and
abuse, I will not resist the correction of such cir-
cumstances." Now, what does my Lord Grey mean
by injustice having inadvertently crept into the
Bill ?—an injustice, inadvertently, after all the
coinhatings and canvassings, the ransackings and
researches, the carping and hypercritical opposition
of one party, and the two easy credulity or conces-
sion of another ? And after the nights of toil
and trouble which the House of Commons have
spent over the subject in all its multifarious
details, are now the provisions of the Bill—nay,
its very principles, to be considered the sub-
ject of unjust inadvertence ? Is not the ten-
pound franchise one of the most important—not
merely of the particulars of the Bill, but actually
of its principles? and shall it now be said that
this standard was lightly adopted, or that it has
inadvertently crept into the Bill ? And does it
show a consistency in my Lnrd Grey, now to en-
deavour to escape from one of the most prominent
features of the Bill, by terming it not a principle,
but an expedient provision that has crept inad-
vertently into the Bill ? If so, the pledges he has
given cannot be redeemed, and the confidence of the
people has been misplaced. Now or never, sh'buld
be the watchward of the people. He then moved
the resolutions. They principally relate to the
halcyon of public feeling produced by the operation
of the Political Unions, in consequence of the confi-
dence placed in his Majesty's Ministers, in their
endeavours, though slow, to carry into effect the
Reform Bill ; but that, should that confidence have
been misplaced, or the Bill be any way mutilated or
rejected, the allayed feeling will be enraged into a
hurricane of popular violence detrimental to society,
and injurious particularly to the privileged orders.
In order to arrest this storm, the people should exert
their every energy to have the Bill passed unmuti-
lated and soon.

Mr. THOMAS MURPHY, in contrasting the
conduct of Lord Grey on the present Bill,
thought much apathy had been displayed, and
much less energy than on the former occasion
in October last. The advocacy on the present oc-
casion was slight, hesitating, and dubious. He said
that Lord Grey might, of himself, be willing, nay,
anxious, to carry the measure, but those with whom he
was surrounJed served as drawbacks on his powers,
therefore, on the confidence of the people. The
101, franchise he considered as one of the most
material parts of the Bill, since it was better not to
attempt Universal Suffrage in the present state of
legislation and soc ely, and that they could not get
suffrage by scot and lot ; let us, therefore, have the
101. by hook or crook.

Mr.. W. D. SAULL, F.G.S. thought that the only
effective and certain remedy for the people, in case
of the failure of the Bill, was in the nonpayment of
taxes. This would rouse the Legislature to a sense
of its injustice and danger. He felt confident of the
result of such a procedure.
Mr. WAL.Lis entered into an elaborate and minute
defence of Lord Grey, and said that the interpreta-
tion put upon his speech was not warranted by the
context ; nor could any abandonment of principle be
proved by a concession of particular details.
Mr. DANIEL WAKEFIELD also defended the cha-
racter of Lord Grey.

Mr. C. THostAs, in warmly advocating the part
of Lord Grey, said it would be bad for his Lord-
ship to rely on the people as his sheet anchor; for
they were as a vane, that would turn round by every
wind, and would desert him at his utmost need.—
(Cries of " No, no.") The people wish the Bill to
be carried; but they are lukewarm in their exertions,
and would not support determined measures in case
of failure.—(Cries of " False !") I may be told
it is false, but I am persuaded it is too true. I for one
will not pay any taxes should the Bill be abandoned
or rejected. But I fear I shall be a sufferer alone,
and that the great mass of the nation will look
on with fear or apathetic indifference.—(Loud cries
of " No, no,"—" false, false !—we are all deter-
mined to do the same !") I am afraid we will be
allowed to work out our own independence ; and
that while the lower classes of the people might
anxiously put into practice what they seem deter-
mined on, the upper and middle classes would look
on unconcerned but for their own share in the spoil.
I fear that the words of Blackwood will be verified
—that there will be disturbance—some bloodshed—
and that things will be permitted to return to their
former course.—(Loud cries of " No, never!")—
He hoped not ; but that the nation would work
soon, and securely, and peaceably, its own inde-
pendence.
Mr. GALLOWAY neither despaired of nor doubted
the determination, not merely of the lower classes of
society, but of the middle and many of the upper.
And as for Mr. Thomas thinking he would be alone
in the non-payment of taxes, he begged leave to
assure him, not only were others present who would
