ST. M A 11YL EBON E.—A preliminary meeting
of the inhabitants of this pyrish was held yesterday, to take
into consideration the present eventful state of public affairs.
Arrangements were made for a general district meeting of
the parishes of St. Marylebone, Pancras, and Paddington.

The Lord Mayor has summoned a Common
Council for to-morrow, and a Common Hill for FridAy, at
one o'clock, to consider the course to be pursued respect-
ing Monday night's vote. A meeting of Merchants and
Bankers is talked of at the Mansion- House on this subject.

REFORM BlLL.—Yesterday morning a very
numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitant
householders of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, was
held in the inquest- room, in St. Andrew's-court, to con-
sider the most expedient course to pursue with reference to
the defeat of Ministers on Monday night on the subject of
the Reform Bill. Jamas MANSFIELD, jun., the senior
Churchwarden, took the Chair. Mr. Toone, Mr. FEARON,
Mr. WHITE, and several other gentlemen addressed the
meeting, after which it was unanimously agreed to address
his Majesty, to exercise his royal prerogative by the imme-
diate creation of a sufficient number of Peers to carry the
Brett conservative measure with the least possih e delay.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting
adjourned.
It appears from an official return, that the
amount of penalties received on the seizure of silk goods in
the year 1827 was 2981. ; this sum Was received by com-
promise. The amount in 1828 was 520/, also by com-
promise. In 1829 no penalties were recovered. The
penalties altogether in 18S0 amounted to 6001., and in one
of the cases out of which these penalties arose the full
penalty was paid on the proceedings being commenced, in
the remainder by compromise. In 1831, 30/. was re-
ceived by compromise ; and in 1832, 20,0001. was re-
ceived by compromise for the penalties incurred.
DINNER TO THE MESSRS.LANDER.—Yes-
terday the gentlemen and tradesmen of Truro and its vici-
nity entertained the distinguished African travellers, the
Mews. LANDER, at Pearce's Hotel. The chair was taken
by flumritay WILLYAMS, Esq., at five o'clock, when
thirty-five gentlemen, the brothers, RICHARD and JOHN
LANDER, and Mr. JAMES LANDER., who resides at this
place, sat down to a dinner comprising every delicacy of
the season, and which was served in that style of excel-
lence for which PEARCE his lon, been distinguished.
After the cloth was drawn, and " The King" had heel+
given from the chair and drunk with every mark of loyal
respect, the chairman, in an appropriate speech, gave the
healths of the adventurous and successful travellers, whose
discoveries hail conferred so much honour on their native
coun•ry, and would doubtless prove so highly important to
the cause of humanity and the interests of commerce. Of
the hazards and the advantages of these discoveries, the
townsmen of the Messrs. LANDER were most proper l;.
sensible ; they felt themselves honoured in the success of
an uudert +king so arduous, and they were then met to give
a public expression to the feelings of admiration and re-
spect with which they regarded the great achievement 01
their fellow-townsmen. The toast was received with great
appl inse, and was drunk with three times three. The
Messrs. LANDER returned thanks in appropriate addre.ses,
which were received with every demonstration of respect.
Several other gentlemen addressed the company in the
course of the evening, which was spent in the enjoyment
of the highest conviviality and harmony. We regret that
the lateness of the hour prevents us from giving a fuller
report on this interesting occasion, which did as much tio
flour to the feelings of the company as to their distinguished
pelts.-- West Britint, May 4.
