Several horses enraged at Egham Racks, which commence on
Tuesday next, are taking strong work on the Race Course, which is
in heauliful order. The trainers iu the neighbourhood are of opi-
nion that the ground is softer than any they have been on for many
weeks past; those who intend sending their horses to Epsom, will,
therefore, do well to get them there as early as possible.

ST, MARTIN IN Tl-Z FIELDS.
the
The inhabitants of this parish held meeting
the Vestry-room to take into consideration: the
n7ight at
propriety of pe-
titioning the House of Commons not to receive the Municipal
Corporations Bill in its mutilated state from the Lords. The
Chair was taken.by Mr. Addington:
Mr. WEBB obserVed that the Bill was intended ti reform
those great sink-holes of corruption the close corporations;
but the Lords, instead of passing it in the pure state in wiiielts
it was presented to them had mutilated it to that degree tlat it
was, in fact, not the same tiring, and this they had done to Fre-
serve the corporations in their present state, well knowing that
they were the strongholds of Toryism.—( Hear, hear.) They-
were not now called upon to petition a corrupt House of Corn..
nitsis,, but a working House, and the best House the coun-•
try ever Lad. Who were the Noble Lords that dared eo muti-
late the Bib I Mere Lords of a day—mushroom Lords—made
during the has and preceding reigns.--(Hear, hear.) Mr,
Webb concluded by ,7roposin,* the first resolution.
The resolution was ss7cond'ed by Mr. ELLIS, and carried.
De. BAINBRIDGE read t:.'e second resolution, which
Mr. HuTettiNs seconded, 1%.' it was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Wynn observed that Co);noration Reform was required
in no place so much as in the of Westminster. They
were actually in Westminster undeiao Ecclesiastical Govern-
ment—under the Dean and Chapter, ws,,o were the patrons of
the city, and .the Lords of Westininster..—(Hear.) Since
the Reformation that power had been vested fit the Dean atd
Chapter, and the Dean and Chapter elected it Lord-Steward,
who was generally a Nobleman ; he elected a Deputy
Steward,• who did all the work, and the Lord Steward, re-
ceived the pay.
Mr. COGHLAN considered that the meeting should, in the
true spirit of Englishmen, protest against 'the proceedings of
the House of Lords, and bring that House to a true sense of
the situation in which they were placed.—( Hear, hear.) Let
tasPin not send up humble petitions, saving, "and your peti-
tioneo will ewer pi ay," but boldly stand forward to demand.
in an uniontilated staue, the great measure of Reform ; also a
reform in tiie House., of Lords itself.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) One or the otLer of these things must be done..
The Bishops, forsooth, chase to make an outcry, and to say
that the people intended to p'tli down the Clinrch ; but was it
not the opinion of almost every one ,that the Government of
the country could be carried on more effectually if the Bishops
remained in their places, attending to tLeir spiritual concerns,
instead of rendering themselves obnoxious to the people by the
part they took in the House of Lords ?
Mr. SMITH proposed the next Resolution, which was se-
conded by Mr. WILLIAMS, and carried.
The Meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Lang, Mr.
Charles Smith, and •Mr. Ellis.
POUNCEY observed the present was a most important
era in tine country. A collision was approaching between the
Peers and the great body of the nation. The people did not
seek the col sign, but they did not fear it.
The meeting was ably addressed by several other gentle-
men, and the resolutions which were proposed were agreed to
unanimously.

KINGS LYNN, NORFOLK.
The opposition which has been manifested to the Corporation
Bill in the House of Lords, and the fatal alterations which
have therein been made, render it imp,,,•rative on the people
of this country to express their wishes and opinions in re-
ference thereto.
To do this most effectually, it appears necessary that Ad—
dresses sheold be immediately forwarded to his Majesty's
Ministers, nnt2 Petitions to the Commons' House of Par-
liament. This rendering a Public Meeting scarcely possible,
the following A tiOress and Petition, which must be forwarded
on Saturday nigliff, are now lying for signatures at Mr. Aikin's,
High-street, Mr. ilarris's, Norfolk-street, and Mr. Silt:lye's,
Baker, Friars'7street, South Lynn.
To the Right Honourable Lord Melbourne, Premier, and the other

Members of h.;s Majesty's Government.
We, the undersigned burjcsses, electors, and inhabitants of
King's Lynn, in the county of Norfolk, beg leave to present. to
your Lordship; -and yOur Right H-
ivourable Colleagues, an expres-
sion) of our sincere respect, and higtr.admiration of our manly and
patriotic conduct, with reference to the Municipal Reform Bill ;
in which conduct. we have beheld you m. staining the demands of
reason, and the rights of Englishmen, against the combined efforts
of aristocratic pride, and the venal love of -unenlightened
and degrading prejudice, and a dangerous and unn:ctved opposition
to the expressed wishes and • earnest prayers of this sun utry, as evi-
denced by a considerable majority in the Commons' Hous-.q of Par-
liament, and the numerously signed petitions which have belit pre-
sented to the HotiSe of Lords; : •
Relying on your Lordship's peiseverance in the cause of liberty
and justice, supported by your Noble and Right Honourable Col-
leagues, and sanctioned by the voice of a united people, we still
hope that your laudable exertions will be crowned with success.
We are, &c.
To the Honourable. the House of Commons of Great Britain and
Ireland, in Parliament assembled.
The Petition of the undersigned 'Burgesses, Electors, and In-
habitants of King's Lynn, in the County of Norfolk,
Shewei:h,•---That your petitioners, 'with great satisfaction ob-
served the cassing, without. division, of a' Bill for Municipal Reform,
through yoisr Honourable House—considering it as a much required
and essential in,9asure for the long established Corporate Bodies of
the Kingdom, am-1 a just and righteous boon (long delayed), to the
present. extended iL'telligence of the country.
That with great r.Pgret and disappointment, not unmixed with
honest indignation, the; have consequently heard of the complete
principles of that measure, which, under
destruction of the leading'
the assumed name of arnentiments, has been effected in the House
of Lords., •
That your petitioners, theet.fOre, while they lament. this want of
io
unanimity in the great Coune4.. of the nat n—convinced of the
'
intrinsic justice of the measure has Veen thus rendered use-
less--do most earnestly and anrit.usly entreat. your Honourable
House, to REJECT the so called I).lendments* which hare been
made,•and, ez:ery constitutional ete,7ns within your power, to
secure the paN,:img of the
,Bill into an established laic of the realm,
as it ORIGINALLY receiced the sanction 0f your branch of the
British Legislature. And your petitioners, :Ste.
Lynn, Aug. 21.

DEVONPORT, IVEDNESDA r
Notwithstanding Lord Rolle has presented a petition to the
House of Lords in the name of some persons front the town
ot" Devonport against the Municipal Reform Bill, I can assure
yeu with the utmost confidence that one spirit pervade: the
great mass of the inhabitants of the three towns—Devonport,
Stone:lß:use, and Plymouth, in favour of that imrrtant and
indispevst:ble measure, as a consummation of the original
Reform _13):l. All persons of intelligence and influence in
Devonport
hurst relating )robate the foolish amendment of Lord Lynd-
the classes. If it be carried, into effect,-the
election of the st.
,nerior cbrporators in Devonport would fall
upon the Hotel and
tavern-leepers. The registration in this
quarter has mightiiv ,increased the number of Refdrmers, so
that, in the event of ir- Vow election, no Tory has the slightest
chance.

GLASGOW.—The petition calling upon Parliament to pass
the Municipal Corporations reform Bill speedily and unmu-
tilated, has been signed by qm.ards of 30,000- lorsons. • •

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF

FELONY.

Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the governors of
Bridewell and Bethlem Hospitals took p:iice at Bridewell
Hospital, in consequence of an urgent surninoCs issued by Sir
Peter Laurie, the President, to consider a charge of gross and
extensive fraud against Mr. Hudson, the receiver. The Pre-
sident and other members of the body had for some time sus—
pected that there was a much greater difference between the
receipts and the expenditure of the hospitals than the cash ac-
counted for exhibited, and they came to the determination to
appoint a Special Committee to investigate the accounts.
Tht,, Committee pursued the inquiry with greet • zeal and scru-
puloustiess.-and they trade a report to the Governors, which lc&
to. the,erripleyment of an accountant to examine anti compare
the cash bock and ledger; and to point out anv discrepancies
which might occur as he proceeded in his exornintaien.
Soon after Mr. Adams, the accountant, commenced his
work, the receiver paid in 4,0001., stating that be had made
N mistake in Its account to that amount. Notwithstanding
thi.:3:tmportant addition, however, the accountant found, as he
proem.ied, a deficiency of upwards of 8,000/., although Lis
iiiquiri liad not yet concluded. When this fact Was made
known to the Committee the receiver was called upon to
make good the deficiency, and at the solicitation of his
friends, a limited tune was allowed him to produce the
funds. An Nt.:litional period of indulgence was, when that
time expired, zequested, and the receiver's friends having
given in their ea3ponsibiiity for his appearance at Bride-
,„-11 Hospital up‘ . to one o'clock on Wednesday last
the sc..cnd applicat:ov was conceded. The endeavour to raise
the mone,- however, proved abortive, and at half-past twelve
s:
o'clock on the 'Wednesday the sureties appeared before the
Committee,
, and
.ioformet.l them that the deficit in the ac-
counts' conld.• not be .'LIPPlird• This notification was in effect

The officer proceeded to the ark.'r;°'ents in the Hospital in
on having been giv,2n to Mr. Hudson, he
which he was given to understand th,., receiver was, but a hint
of what was going
contrived to slip out at the window, creep' along a shed, and
'drop into the street. The difficulties and. da, ,gair encountered
by the fugitive are said to have' been very gre.'t. Ho had to
•
burst through the bars of the wir.dow, and might .have broken
his neck if he had slipped on the shed. •
The President, - under_ there circumstances, summoned a
Special Rouse Committee yesterday at twelve o'clock, and a
57,,,:1ia I Court at one, for the purpose of receiving the report
Meet Comvittee appointed to inquire into the defalca•
of tnisteof
Mr. Ilindson. and also for the purpose of receiving the
resignation of that 06.'41..Qr.
A Go-innc,:„? . moved ;hat Mr. Hudson be dismissed from
the offiee of receiver. •
ArotLei. 06,,,i.,,N0ri said fh,„: it was not at all likely that
Mr. HudSonlvould run away, i,; Lo` sequence of a deficiency of
eight thousand pounds.. The ~,,„niat•Y means of the gentle.
Man were always considered ;u ample. He was prothono-.
&ion worth tyro

be at liberty to place his son in a situation, with a salii7 of ono
thousand pounds per annum. Besides, he had an exCellent
estate in the county of' Surrey, of which county he- wal ti
Magistrt,.tc.'
It was finally agreed to refer back the Report to the Select
Committee, with full power to adopt such meas'ncs as they
might
,deem advisable for the apprehension and prosecution
-of Mr. Hudson.
