NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The inhabitants of Newcastle have this day (Tuesday,
August 25) acted as becomes the members of a free State
when its liberties are endangered. At a highly respectable
meeting held in the Town Hall, J. L. Hood, Esq., the
Right Worshipful the Mayor, in the Chair, they have re-
solved that the alterations made by the House of Lords in
the Municipal Reform Bill are such as render the Bill un-
worthy of the people's acceptance, and they have accord-
ingly agreed on a petition, praying the House of Commons
to reject it. The speakers were Dr. Headlam, Mr. A. L.
Potter, Mr. Greenhow, Mr. Rayne, Mr. Joshua Johnson,
Mr. W. L. Hark, and Mr. Charnley. Dr. Headlam
spoke well, and observed, that if the,people did not at this
moment secure their just rights, in consequence of the ex-
traordinary infatuation with which the Peers have acted,
they would be certain at no distant day to obtain them, if
they showed becoming firmness and determination. All
the Resolutions *eze carried unanimously. A great num-
ber of the burgesses weil! present ; but they demeaned
themselves as sincere Reformers, willing to be treated like
their fellow-townsmen, and despising the exclusive privi-
leges which the Lords, for election purposes, wish to se-
cure to them and their posterity for ever!

The following are the Resolutions and Petition agreed to
at the

"PUBLIC MEETING IN GUILDHALL.

" At a numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants
of this town, in Guildhall assembled, August 25, 1835,
" The Mayor of Newcastle in -the Chair,
" It was unanimously resolved,-1. That this meeting has
witnessed with astonishment and regret the wanton and capri-
cious mutilation of the Municipal Reform Bill by the House
of Peers—a mutilation so totally destructive of all the essential
qualities of the Bill, as to render it no longer worthy of pub..
lie acceptance. That, in the opinion of this meeting, these
changes have been introduced for the expresz purpose of frus-
trating the great object which the people have in view--the
right of freely choosing their own Municipal Authorities.
" 2. That feeling acutely the utter disappointment of our
hopes, that a great and beneficial measure of Corporate Reform
would be given to the country, we address ourselves to the
Commons' House of Parliament, praying, that they will not
accede to those pernicious changes which the House of Peers
have made in the Bill.

"3. That the following petition to the House of Commons
be adopted : and that William Ord, Esq., M. P., be requested
to present and support the same:--and that the Petition lie
for signature until Saturday evening, the 29th instant.
" 4. That this Meeting cannot too strongly express their

high sense of the patriotic— and dignified conduct of Viscount
Melbourne, Lord John Russell, and the rest of his Majesty's
Ministers, in originating and defending the important measure
of Municipal Reform ; and in offering them our grateful thanks
for their noble advocacy of the people's rights, we beg to as-
sure them of our undiminished confidence, and firm determina-
tion to support them by every constitutional means.
" 5. That th's meeting also avails itself of the present as
a fitting occasion, to cffer their decided testimony to the chre-
ful, rigid, impartial, and satisfactory manner, in which the
Municipal Commissioners, Messrs. Dwarris and Rumball,
executed the arduous duties assigued to them, in having had
to inquire into, and report on, the rights and privileges, and
on the state and management of the affairs of the Corporation
of this town.

" J.OHN L. HOOD, Mayor."
The Mayor having left the Chair, the thanks of the meet-
ing were unanimously voted to him, for his able and impartial
conduct.

" To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ire-
land in Parliament assembled,
" The Humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Town
and County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
" Sheweth—That your Petitioners have beheld with asto-
nishment and regret, the wanton and capricious mutilation of
the Municipal Reform Bill by the other House of Parliament
—a mutilation so totally destructive of all the essential quali-
ties of the Bill, as to render it no longer worthy of public
acceptance. •
" That, in the 'opinion of your petitioners, these changes
have been introduced for the express purpose of frustrating the
great object which the people have in view—the right of freely
choosing their own Municipal Authorities.
" That your petitioners, nothing doubting your anxious de-
sire to do justice to the people at large, and acutely feeling
the utter disappointment of their hopes, that a real and benefi-
cial measure of Corporation Reform would be given to the
country, most earnestly and anxiously entreat your Honourable
House to reject the changes which have been rondo in the Bill,
and, by the exercise of those powers which the Constitution
has placed in sour hands, secure the great object of the
people's wishes—a full and efficient Reform 5n Municipal
Corporations.

" And your petitioners will ever pray."
