MIDDLESEX.

Yesterday evening a numerous body of the con•
stituency of Middlesex, residing in the Tower
Hamlets, met Mr. Hume by appointment, at the
George Tavern, in the Commercial-road, for the
purpose of entering into immediate arrangements
for securiug his return, and also of hearing his vin-
dication of himself from the atrocious charge of
Atheism which has lately been openly brought
against him.

The Chair was taken by Mr. HAMMACK.
Mr. HUME stated that there was an active can-
vass going on against them, and in every parish
almost he found arrayed against him a clergyman
and a magistrate—yes, a magistrate, for he was
sorry to say that, with very few exceptions, the
magistracy was all against him. The doctor, the
parson, and the magistrate, seemed, indeed, every-
where to form the nucleus of a standing committee
against him, and in support of the old state of things.
He was happy, however, to be able to inform them
that in spite of the efforts of this trio, his and their
cause was making way. A strong prejudice had,
within the last fortnight, been attempted to be ex-
cited against him by the revival of the old charge of
Atheism. This charge was originated by Mr, Peel
and Mr. Plunket in 1821, on the occasion of his
bringing forward his propositions for a reform of the
Irish Church. When he submitted these propositions
he could not get ten supporters of them, and yet now
they were acted upon by the Government, admitted by
the Bishops, and even Lord Henley had written a
pamphlet embracing and recommending the whole of
them. His opposition had never been directed against
the tenets of any man; but against the temporalities of
the Church and their unequal distribution, he cer-
tainly had spoken boldly. He had for ten years at-
tended the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Dibdin, at St.
Mary's Church, Marylebone, and always attended
once, and mostly twice, in the day with his family.
He made it a rule, in fact, to neither visit nor re-
ceive visits on the Sunday, but to devote that day
among his family to the performance of his duties
as a father, a husband, and a Christian. If there
was any man a friend to religious liberty, and
anxious that none should be annoyed because of
their religious belief, he was that man. He believed
that no great cordiality existed among the present
Ministry. They owed more to him than to any
man ; and if it had not been for him (though what
he did was out of no respect for them, but on ac-
count of the Bill), when they went out, he believed
they would not easily have come back into power.
Arid yet he believed, if they were not his enemies,
they were but lukewarm friends. He certainly did
not know, if his Majesty's Ministers went on as at
present, that he could give them his future support;
and if there were any one present who thought of
voting for him under the idea that he would sup-
port Ministers, without reference to their princi-
ples, he would advise such person to withhold his
vote. To himself personally his return for Middle-
sex was of no object, for he could go elsewhere and
be certain of being returned, nor was it his inten-
tion to go to a poll for Middlesex unless he had pre-
viously ascertained that his return was certain.
Mr. YOUNG, Mr. OFFER, Colonel STANHOPE,
and several other gentlemen afterwards addressed the
meeting in support of Mr. Hume.

WE YI 10 U TH, NOV. 10.
The public are already aware of the political state
of this far-famed borough as regards the coming
election : the facts laid before them from time to
time give a pretty correct estimate of the proceed-
ings of the Tory party, headed by Sir F. G. John-
stone. The unconcealed endeavours of the young
Baronet to acquire the nomination of the two Mem-
bers can scarce be equalled by the practice of this
principle when boroughmongering was at its height;
it has consequently excited in the Reform party a
determination to use every exertion to defeat him
and his nominee, Mr. G. Bankes, by returning two
stanch Reformers. Mr. T. F. Buxton has some
time since been in the field, and the Reformers
have selected Mr. Burdon as his coadjutor in the
struggle about to ensue. It being understood that

the latter gentleman would, in compliance with a
requisition sent him, arrive in Weymouth on
Thursday last, the Reformers made due preparation
for his reception. On his arrival the horses were
taken from his carriage, and he was drawn in pro-
cession through the principal streets, and from
thence to the Royal Hotel, amidst the cheering of
the assemblage. Mr. Burdon here alighted, and
immediately after made his appearance on the por-
tico in front of the hotel. He came amongst them
in support of Reform, and to give them his assist-
ance in maintaining their independence. After
some further remarks, Mr. Burdon said he would
not then detain them longer, as it was arranged to
have a public meeting that evening, for the purpose
of his declaring to the Reformers his political
sentiments.
The meeting was fixed for 8 o'clock, and a large
room in one of the extensive store-houses of Mr.
Burdon was selected for the purpose. JOHN CREE,
Esq., was called to the chair, and having opened the
business of the meeting,
Mr. SCRIVEN, in an appropriate speech, introduced
Mr. Burdon to the meeting.
Mr. BURDON then rose, and was again greeted
with loud cheers. None would go farther than
myself in extirpating abuses of Church, Law, or State,
always with a view to preserve the good and destroy
the bad. The principles of our laws and Constitu-
tion are, or ought to be, reason and common sense;
and when they leave these for other foreign objects
they err, the broad principle of happiness and secu-
rity to all being the only right one.—(Cheers.) I
would exercise the strictest economy in Govern-
ment departments, paying each man by his deserts,
and not
would
a vboyi thed int
emr
feearseunrcee ohI
i nf
foreigni his wan wants
politicso r wishes.much
as possible, or at least take care that John Bull
should receive and not pay.—(Cheers.) I dislike
the Corn Laws, but I think it unfair to abolish them
till we are relieved from debts and taxation.
I would do away with them when fair to the coun-
try, but till then should prefer a low fixed rate
of duty. Tithes I would remove by a fair commu-
tation, and pay the clergy liberally and equally.
Bishops should be ministers of religion, and not mi-
nisters of state—(Cheers)—and the whole clergy
compelled to residence and be elected by their flocks,
thus insuring good conduct and attention to duty.
The whole church establishment should be remodel-
led.—(Much cheering.) Slavery, that disgrace to
civilized society, I would fain see removed, but in
such a manner as neither to destroy the colonies nor
place the slaves in a worse condition than they are.
—(Cheers.) All sinecures, pensions, &c., I hope
to see removed, and that men of sense and property
will take the trouble of government duties without
exorbitant salaries arid retiring pensions. Mr. Bur-
don sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering.
Mr. JOHN F. HODGES, being loudly called for,
addressed the meeting in an eloquent speech.
Mr. BURDON again rose, and said, as his friend
Mr. Hodges had adverted to - the question of sep-
tennial Parliaments, he said the repeal of that law
would, in the event of his having the honour of a
seat in Parliament, have his hearty support, for he
considered it as giving a man an absolute lease for
seven years of their rights and interests.—(Cheers.)

LIVERPOOL MARKETS, Nov. 13.
Corrox.—The sales are about 1,000 bags, and the
market rather dull.

CORN.—At our Corn-Exchange this morning there
was a slender attendance of the trade, and moderate show
of samples of all kinds of grain. Holders of wheat were
asking 4d. to sd. advance on prices of this day week for
the best samples, and in the limited business that occurred
such was realized, 7s. 4d. to 7e. 6d. being obtained for
the finest descriptions of Irish. Oats were flat, though not
lower, the best Irish being retailed at 2s. 6d., 2s. 7d., and
up to 2s. 7id., as in quality. Barley for malting rather
more free sale at 4s. 7d. for Irish, and a fine parcel of
new English reached 38s. per quarter ; grinding kinds
were dull ; as also beans, pease, and Indian corn, at the
prices quoted. Flour met a moderate demand, at 435. to
455., and meal at 225. 6d. to 235. For sweet flour in
bond there were some inquiries ; but holders demanding
2s. advance, no sales took place.
