REFORMLRS IN tiANAbA.

By Canada Papers to a late date, we find that
Mr. GOURLAY'S quackery about- Reform in-Upper
Canada is in a fair way of receiving its deserts
from the good sense of the inhabitants.. .
UPPEIt CAZIADA, Nov. IB.—A Meeting of the
inhabirarilt of the township of Hamilton, in the
Newcastle.district, took. place on lirec,pes.day, the
I I th NOvettiber, at the village of Amhesst, agree-
ably to placards distributed by Mr. GoURLAY fur
that purpose. About fifty very respectable. people .
attended. Mr. GOURLAY addressed them at very
great length, which was replied to by Mr:Fo-
Tnaaomt, in. a very animated speech. Mr. COUR-.
LAY'S pelitiOn was releCted,'"RO(l the following
Resolutions adopted in its stead
Itesolved—That, we, the inhabitants of the township of
HaniittoW,. having a'sseitaktled, pursuant to a public police;
'observe With extreme pain, that Mr. Gourlay's plan and pro-.
ceedings fot isddressing the Lieutenant-Governor and .House
of Assemblfare entirely dissonant with the princ.ioc,of a
country enjoying the sacred privileges we have ter boast .4f;
untarnished by a tingle grievance.
Iteso!ved—That we totally discountenance am attempt' of
Mr.-Gout lay to excite. indignation against the Lieutenant-Go=

Resolved—That,.although we claim the undoubted right o 1
petitioning, we oppose the measure of Petition for the disso-
lution of the House of Asseinbly,, it being dictated through
private, malicious, and tnrhulent spirit, with a view to
bring into disrepute our loyal representative,, and to orga-
nize discontent and commotinn amongst his Majesty's sub-
jects in Upper Canada. Nearly sixty signatures followed.

MAGISTERIAL ARPOINTNIENT.—'YeSterdtIy JOHN
RAWLINSON, Esq. of Hampshire, presided as Sit-
ting 11agisirate at Lambeth-street Police-office,
for the first time since his appointment, in the
room of RoGERS, Esq. who has succeeded
the late Mr. Le,acti, of liarron-Garden.
A considerable degree of alarm was excited
throughout the port about half-past ten o'clock
on Thursday night, by the, tiring of signal
'and the ringing of the bell in the Dock-yard,
which soon collected together many thousauds.—
A report was circulated that the Royal Sovereign
had taken fit e, but on inquiry it proved !hat she
had drifted from her moorings, in consequence of
some part of the chain having given way. Be-
fore any assistance could reach the ship, the
warrant-officers had let an mechur go, and effec-
tually brought her up without any damage.—

DseiNG Rosestor —The dwelling-house of Mr.
George Willis, of Weymouth-street, Newington,
was entered by several thieves on Sunday
while the family were at the house of a gentleman
next door, who gained admission by means of skele-
ton keys. Mr. Willis was at supper with his frieeds,
when a noise was heard in his house like the shut-
ting of a window ; he ran to the door, and round
it locker! as when he left it ; be unlocked-
-and thieking the noise must have proceeded from
some other place, he went back and finished
his supper, when a louder noise Was again heard,
which convinced him that sonic persons were,
or had been, in his honse; he a;aiu went to the
front door, and found it unlocked; he entered the
house, amid found the wholt, place in confusion ; pro-
perty to a very coesiderable amount heti been car-
ried off, consisting of silver plate, Hued, wearieg
apparel, Baek-'totes, Ste. Ptoperty to a great
amount, fortunately, was foetid tintoeched. Up•
on examining the premisys, it appears that One of
the thieves had been up the chimney,' and it is
supposed he was there concealed when Mr. Willis
first entered the house. A great quantity of soot
was found upon the hearth.

FORGET ME NOT.

LINTS On hearing that the Plant called the Mphotis Amid.
or " Forget me not," was growing On.the Plain of Wattrloo
after the Battle.

There is a Flow'r whose op'ning Modal
Beams softly o'er the Hero's grave
Whose trembling leaf and sweet perfume
Denote tbe dwelling of the brave.

No Rose is there—that little Plower
Alone remains their woes to tell,
How oft they bled in battle's hour,
Hotta valour fought and freedom fell

Swect child of Spring ! thy modest head
Was burn to grace some happier spot;
And wilt thou bloom among the dead;
And only say, " Forget me not ?"

" I would not (rare this plain of rest,
For brighter skies and milder climes;
Here I repose on Honour's breast,
Unloved by ftar, unstain'd by crimes.

At midnight oft the Orphan steals,
O'er me to pour the sacred teat;
And while his heart a throbbing feels,
fle knows his Paren►'s grate is here.

And shall I leave the Hero's tomb,
Or mock the Orphan's tender woe;
• No ! stranger ; I was horn to bloom - •
Where streams of widow'd sorrow How?"

Guard of the midnight hour, farewell !
Still o'er the slumb'ring warrior wave!
Be mine the sacred task to tell
The charms that smile on glory's grave!
