The petition to Parliament, from the merchants and inhabi-
tants, which was taken up by deputation for presentation yes.
terday, in the.short space of three hours received no less than
signatures . Crowds of persons were assembled in front
.of the Town-hall the whole of the day, and upon the express
le?Ying, the deputation were loudly cheered. Indeed, such a
scene of bustle in the Town-hall of Manchester has not been
witnessed fur a length of time. Flags were pendent from each
side of the Hall, bearing the inscription, " Reform, or no
Supply." After the express's departure, the " Hunt mob,"
from St. George's-road, turned out with flags and banners in
procession, some bearing the inscriptions, " Vote by Ballot,"
Universal Suffrage," " Annual Parliaments," and " The
Voice of .the People is the Voice of God, and must be obeyed."
A full.lenth portrait of the " Man of the People," Mr. Hunt,
was also displayed. The procession proceeded to St. Peter's_
field, about nine o'clock at night. Several persons addressed
the assembly.
A meeting was held in Salford on Wednesday night, called
by the following handbill :

A' REFOR ME
The Committee fur furthering the cause of Reform are noo
sitting at the Town Hall, to arrange the business for a great
meeting in St. Peter's-tields, on Monday next. Since the re-
signation of Ministers the party spirit which previously existed
with respect to the creation of Peers, and the 104 franchise,
has fled, and instead of two meetings, as originally intended,
there will be only one, when all well-wishers of their country
in the town: and neighbourhood, it is anticipated will attend
and lend their support to the meeting and to its objects.

" Messrs. Childs have received an express edition of The Sun
newspaper, containing information that the following resolu-
tion was last night moved in the House of Commons by Lord
Ebrington, and carried at half past two o'clock this morning,

By

Majority for the motion —Bo

" That in the progress of this measure the House of Com-
mons considers itself bound in duty to state to his Majesty that
his subjects are looking with the most intense interest and
anxiety, and they cannot disguise from his Majesty that the
taking of any step which would impair its efficiency would be
productive of the greatest disappointment. That this House is
therefore impelled, by warm attachment to his Majesty's person
and throne, humbly but most earnestly to implore his Majesty
to call to his Councils such persons only as will carry into effect
unimpaired in all its essential proYisions, that Bill for the Re-
form of the Representation of the people which has recently
passed this House."
