PUBLIC MEETING AT FORRES.

On Friday, the 22d current, puritan,. to ine
timation made by tuck of drum, through the burgh
of Forres, a most numerous and vtry respectebk
assemblage of the inhabitants took place in thli
Court Hall, (which was crowded to excess) for the
put pose of considering what would be the most pro-
per course to pursue, in electing a Representative
to serve in Parliament for this cla-s or district of

burghs, and to secure the return of a stanch and
true Reformer and advocate of fiberty and freedom,
GEORGE Ross, Esq., was unanimously called to
the chair.

The business of the meeting wa.; opened by
JAMES BELL, Esq., surgeon, in an extreirely neat
and judicious speech, which fully explained to the
meeting the cause for which they lid met, and
shortly, though explicitly, pointed out the absolute
necessity of choosing a true Reformer as a Repre-
sentative; and concluded by moving, as a resolution,
"That a Committee of those persons entitl-d io
vote within this burgh, at the election of a R pre-
sentative for this class of burghs, should immediately
correspond and concert with the Committees already,
or likely to be soon named in the sister burghs, for
the purpose of returning a true and stanch Re-
former, and none other, to represent them in Parlia-
ment;" and also added—" That iu the event of no
other candidate appearing than those two already
named, (Major Cumming, and Colonel Bailie, both,
at least the former, anti-Reformers) advertisements
should be inserted in the different new papers, call-
ing upon some one to come forward who had nobly
and manfully braved the storm of anti-Reform rage
and base burgh corruption, and who had nob!), and
justly supported the glorious cause of Reform
throughout every stage."
The resolution was received with tremendous ap-
plause, and ably seconded by the Rev. Thomas
Stark, in a neat and eloquent speech—a4bereafter
the resolution was carried by acclamation.'
A political agent (a gendeman who was about

ten years ago a stanch Reformer, hut wlio, since
then, cameleon like, has changed his poloical princi-
ples from right to wrung) also ailitrvs•-d the meet-
ing, iQ name and behalf of Nltij,r Commitig, who
had been canvassing in the town some few da}s be-
fore, but fortunately with little success, whose true
attachment to the glorious cause of Reform was by
nim strongly advocated, and ,vhai atteirpted, at the
.•

same time, to convince the R.eformers of ForreF,
that Major Cumming's prineiple, were rinly libe-
ral; that he had not been opposed to Itefiam, and
that he did not deserve the appeliation " anti-Re-
lot mer."

All this spout of oratory was spent quite usele•sly,
and completely lost upon the me. ting, who manfully
received the conclusion of the Advocait's speech
with groans and hisses.

A brother of Escu!spins al.n beiliouzlit himself
to be eloquent on the occasion, but had not been
many seconds on his legs, (very short indeed, by
the by) supported the print pies of the ntior,
Nhen loud cries of "Down, down," mingled with
groans and hisses, were heard Viroughout the 1-1 11.
These symptoms of dis.a it.factiun woo pu! a finale
o Mr. E cuiapius and his orat:oii, and he was com-
pelled to sit down.

Mr. DUNBAR (writer) also delivered ha st.-nti-
ments on the occasion. lint speech was received
throughout with great applause ; and he concluded
ny mentioning to the gentlemen pees,-n., a circum-
'tance expressive of Major Clut.mivg's Ref- rm
principles, ;n that he (Major Cumming) d d, in ad-
dressing the House of Commons for the first time,
boldly and barefacedly hold forth, a., a ma.ter wor-
he of the consideration of the Honottrable House,
that " He had now cone nearly 600 nid,, to give
his utmost opposition to the Reform Bill!"
Several other excellent speeche, were delivered
on the occasion by Messrs. Barron and Ross, and by
several others.

The meeting then separated, highly satis6ed with
what they had heard.

An inn has just been established on the top
of Mount Fauthoin, in Sw;rz rlinfi, at an elev mina of
3,140 feet above the sea ; and, conynently, between
500 and 600 feet higher than the convent on the Great
St. Bernard.

is married to a Prussian lady, and resides in Prussia. is
4upposed to exercise a very utitavourahle influence on the
mind of the Prussian Minister, with regird t the affa.rs

and is attempting to prevail, throuJi Prussia, on the
Austrian and Russian Government to interest themselves

FRONf A CORRESPONDENT.—On Monday
afternoon, as a lady was walking with her brothers and
heir children on Hampstead-licath, a cow ran at ne of
the children, about two years of age, and was about to toss
it, when the lady caught it in her arms and attempted to
escape, but, being rendered powerless by fright, she Jelly
with the child under her. The cow was wilhin a few
yards, and was about to gore her, when her broth r, who
vas a short distance in advance, turned mood, set ing
her situation, ran towards her, and drive the animal
iway. To permit so vicious a cow to be pastor. d,n a
place of such public resort as Hami.stea.i.fe,k,h „,jaers
legree of negligence in the highest degree and
we
zrustthe danger to which the lydy and ehild were expo,ed
will operate as a sufficient caution to prevent a neurret ee
of it.
