eloquent speech, and seconded by Mr. Ackroyd ; the second
resolution was moved by Mr, Andrew M•Landsbro', and
seconded by Mr. Benjamin Rind. Tim petition was moved
by Mr. Robert ria'KeiiM tr "".

difficulties, as called upon • all friends of the Constitution to
come forward to encourage and support them.
Bailie THOMSON rose to second the resolutions, which he
said he did with the greatest pleasure. He regretted to see
the Lords have so little sympathy with the people ; and that,
instead of being the fathers and leaders of the country, they
, seemed to wish to deprive the people of the privileges which
•.,..
the Constitution tie Qod of nature had given them.—
(Cheers.) They seemed to have Government

'-^ rotten boroughs of England. They were rotten

changed with them, that did itfy purpose up these
burghs by the Kings of Europe, was to tit% g§ a eounterpv..._
against the influence of the nobility. The burghs of Scotland
had now the choice of men to manage their own matters, and
they had shown that both for their municipal affairs, and as
their representatives in Parliament, they made choice of the
very fittest men.—(Great laughter.) Gentlemen (said the
worthy Bailie), if you had allowed me to finish my sentence, I
was going to have added.-with one exception.—( Cheering and
laughter.) It was of great monidtit this freedom even in the
choosing of Town Councillors, aye, of rat. greater moment than
some men thought ; and he enjoined them all, at she election
in November, to send men into Council whom they knew to be
honest and good men.—( Cheers.) It was plain, that if the
people stuck together, and obeyed the laws, they could tell the
Peers with effect, that they would not suffer them longer to
domineer over them by means of corrupting the burgesses of
England, to many of whom a bribe of five or six guineas was
too great a temptation to resist ; that by these means they had
formerly got men into Parliament to serve their own purposes,
but that they should never do so again. If they told them
that this was the general sense of the people, and that the
people were determined to support the Government, then it
would be the duty of the Legislature to hear the voice of the
people, and there could be no doubt that the Bill would pass.
Sir J. G. CRAIG observed that the petition would ba found
lying for signature in various parts, but that it must be closed
on Friday evening, and sent off on Saturday. He therefore
urged upon all to lose no time in subscribing it.
On the motion of Sir A. GUIsON, thanks were then unani-
mously voted to the Lord Provost for his readiness in calling
the meeting, and for his conduct in the chair, and the proceed-
ings terminated.

MINGTOPI.—A public meeting of the inhabitant household-
ers of Lymington was held last week at the Town-Hall (by
appointment of the Mayor) George Scott, Esq., in the Chair,
when it was unanimously resolved to petition the House of
Lords to pass the Municipal Reform Bill as sent them by the
House of Commons without any practical alteration.
The Corporation of Tewkesbury recently presented a pe-
tition to the House of Lords against the Municipal Reform
Bill, and yet this corporate body, with an income only of 221.
per annum, contrives to get 3,0001. in debt. There is no
individual responsibility, notwithstanding which they argue
that the continuance of a system which will permit such a piece
of wantonness as would not pass current even in an insolvent
court, requires no reform.—Hampshire Chronicle.
