initiation to support the rights and dignity of

" Mr. EY nit; in a firm and loyal manner, se-
conded the Address. Mr. BENET, of Pyt House,
reprobated the scandalous attempts which had for
some time been Made to hit] tine the minds of the
lower classes, and pointed out the many hlas;
phemous parodies on the Creed, 'l'e Demo Lail:.
&onus, and the Lord's prayer, which have becit
lately craftily introduced into the large mantifiic;.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

IVi,lvtrharsipton, march In, 1817.

Stn,----After much talking of calling a Public
*Nlecting of the Inhabitants of this Town by ie-
tpikition to the Constables, which no person of
tespectaltility could be Induced to sign, the fol-
lowing plitcdrd was posted up this morning, and
the annexed moderate and modest Reform Bill cir-
culated ; who the whole of the nameless Com-
mittee were who drew up this choice memorial, is
ROI, but most probably will be known. The
printer, Mr. IVilliam Hawkes Smith, of Easy-row,
Birmingham, it Will be recollected, was the Se-
conder of that pedagogue, Edmonds, Chairman
of the Newhall•hill Birmingltam• Reform Resolu-
tions ; for though we have three resident printing
herr, it appears, Mr. Editor, none of them could
be intrusted to print them. •
