born and enlightened Englishmen.—(L"ttd cheers.) He
had great confidence in the ability and inter city of Etri
Grey, who, he doubted not, would, like a good and exp--
renced helmsman, guile them at last into the haven of
peace, happiness, and security. But although this was
the hour of triumph, he enj-ined them not to be too ele-
vated—the second reading had passed by only a majority
of nine—they must never give up the great principles of
the Bill—disfranchisement, enfranchisement, and the 101.
qualification.
JOHN EastEs, Esq., seconded the address.
Mr. PRING, in moving the third resolution, had no
doubt but the Bill would pass, for he was sure Earl Grey
would not have accepted office if there had been any de-
parture from the principle of the Bill. If he had given
up the 101 qualification he was t T giving up the Bill
altogether.—(Loud cheers.) He v..-ould not look abroad
for rotten boroughs, but look at home first ; he would nnt
allude to Gatton and Old Sarum, while there was so touch
corruption in the boroughs of Newport, Newtown, and
Yarmouth. He had been asked, " What will the Reform
Bill do?" Why, it will sand honest and upright men to
Parliament, who will speak and vote, not for this or that
family, but the good of the country.—(Cheers.)

Mr. E. 'WuxiNs, o❑ rising to second the third reso

lotion, was loudly cheered. The conduct of Ministers
was appreciated by the meeting, and required no eulogiunt
from him. He commented on the conduct of the bo-
roughmongering Peers and aiti• Reform Bishops, i❑ their
attempt to defraud the people of England of their just
rights, with severity ; and in allusion to the Duke of
Wellington's attempt at taking the office of Prime Mi-
nister. he said

.g Yes, let accusing scorn in each calm eye,
Inform the tax.fed harpy and his hordes,
That wrongs have brought forth thoughts which cannot die ;
And that your wives have brought forth sons, whose words
Shall sting like serpents' teeth and cut like swords."

On account of unfavourable weather, and the number of
other resolutions, he would not take up the time of the
meeting longer, but second the resolution.
The weather. which h..d partially cleared up, now be-
gan to wear a threatening aspect, and in a few -;tinutee
the rain descended in torrents ; hut it neither dispersed
the great assembly now present (calculated at upwards of
3,000), or discouraged the next speaker, CHARLES
WORSREY, Esq. who came forward and addressed the
m•eting, with his hat. off, and though pressed by his
friends to remain covered, he declined to do so, and said
he had a deep sense of the kindness of his friends in the
rear, and of the meeting, who were desirous of his being
covered ; but a man was not worthy of the name of a Re-
former if he was afraid of melting like a sugar-loaf in a
shower of rain ; he did not care for his head, if he could
only utter what his heart dictated. He would just allude
to the revered name of his Monarch, who, although he
had been the unhappy dupe of ptticoat intrigue and per-
secution, be believed still to be inflexihly attached to the
prosperity and happiness of the people of his dominions.
He did not care, even if not backed by royalty, so long as
the people remained firm, unchanged, and uncompromis-
ing. He concluded by moving the fourth resolution ;
which was seconded by Mr. Brannon.
Mr. SHERIDAN moved the sth resolution (thanks to
the County Members) ; which was seconded by Mr.
HENRY DAY.

JOHN COOKE, E,q., in seconding the 6th resolution,
said the people had achieved a glorious triumph. He
could not find language sufficiently strong to mark his
sense of the high honour and integrity which had distin-
euiNhed his Majesty's Ministers, in promoting the cause of
Reform— the cause of the people.
Mr. A. CLARKE moved the 7th resolution (thanks of
the meeting to the Chiirman), which was seconded by
Mr. PRING, who reminded the meeting that Chas. Day,
E.q. was their first Chairman, when the Boroughniongers
said " they would not be able to find one fit to take the
Chair!"—(Loud and continued cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN felt proud and honoured at the manner
they had been pleased to express their approbation of Ins
conduct—he never did nor ever would flinch whenever he

thought his exertions would conduce to the public good.
Whenever,or wherever, he had spoken upon the subject of
Reform, the most ultra Anti-Reformers had always said,
when alluding to the state of the Isle of Wight Represen-
tation, " I do not blame or censure you, or the Reformers
of the Isle of Wight, they have ample reason for dissatis-
faction and disgust; if you persevere, you will be entitled
to the thanks and gratitude of the country at large." He
had done so; and he believed be had their best and
warmest gratitude.—(Loud cheers.)
The meeting, af,er giving three cheers respectively for
" Earl Grey," " the Cause of Refonn," " the People,"
&c. immediately dispers-d.
