MR• EDITOR—I make no cries! ion of your
Inecdote, Sir, nor wonder, that a convicted knave
should avow his Radicalism. Lie, who was
drummed out ,of the society of honourable men
luight well take refuge in a shameless sympathy
kith HENRY HUNT. One who has been convicted
Opening letters may congenially herd with
4Loi her, who has been accused of embezzling
!I"Irley- The Corporal and the Orator have a
fellow-feelinc :—and I calculate f in return for
the letter-man's devo:ion, the money man will
Prefer an indic;ment agaiost his Office's, and make
an affidavit of his drunimmg in the King's Bench.
Truly, Sir, it is tarts and cheese-cakes (0 me,
to hear .a Radical burraed by a Ra,c(ll. I only
1)el;, that the'Corporal's hint may be acted upon ;
It will season my entettainmenl better than a

LEICESTER WHIGS AND RADICALS.

TO MR. G. COLTMAN.

Sta-4 have just read the account of the Meet-
ing held at Leicester t.y yourself and Party; but
as nothing 'novel or interesting took place I shall
pass it over, with the exception
,of Mr. Panes'
Letter. From this Letter 1 imagine Mr. Niles
wishes you and the SIMPLE °rigs at Leicever
to believe that he is a real Reformer, and deter-
mined to support every proposition its Parliament
to Reform the present Representative System.
Now, if that be so, I call on You to ask Mr.
PArtss, why be voted in the last Session for a
Reform of the Scotch Boroughs, but did not on
the following night, vote for the Reform of the
English Close Boron4iis ? If he refuses to an-
swer this question, or does not do it satisfac-
torily, tell him, it is because he 1(1)0%175 it would
annihilate 'the power of the Old Whig Aristocra-
cy, throw open all the rotten Boroughs THEY
possess, and produce that amelioration' and
im-
provement in the Constitution, which will satisfy
all rational and reflecting men, .without any in-
road on the existing Rights and Privileges of the
People. It will prevent those political Sales of
influence and representation, which all good men
deplore ; hut then, it wit! destroy the corrupt and
abominable • influence of the Whigs, which Mr.
PARRS and the Opposition are so anxious to per-
petuate-and maintain ! •
If you, Sir, and Mr. W„DRAYTON, Mr. T.
FIELDING, Mr. R. Cooxe, Mr. BREIVIIN, Mr. W.
GARDENER, Mr. S. T. BAURART, and your Revs..
REND Compeer, Mr. DEACON, are really sincere
irl your wishes for Reform, it is your duty to in-
form Mr. PARRS that you expect him to support
every measure which has for its object the open-
ing of the English Close Boroughs, and of putting
them under the rime regulations 'as the Elections
for Counties and Cities.

I shall resume this subject, and as You have
brought yourself before the Public on the present
occasion, I trust you will not feel offended, if by
so doing I extend the sphere of your Political
Career beyond the limits of the STILL LOYAL
TOWN Op LEICESTER.

I profess myself to be anxious for a rational
Reform in the English Boroughs, but I am a de-
termined opponent of Annual Parliaments and
Universal Suffrage. If our Legislators concede
to the People such an alteration in the present
mode of Election in these Boroughs, they will
not only confer on the Country a most substan
fiat benefit, but will make themselves popular
with ti►e great mass of the People—and then
where ►+ill be the influence of the Whigs
The adoption of this suggestion, and, making
one uniform system in the election of Members for
all places, ►will give to the Country Gentry, living
near these Close Boroughs, that natural influence
in them, which from .contiguity, property, and
friendly intercourse, they ought to possess.—
How mortifying must it be to them to see the
:Steward of some wealthy person, living at an
extreme distance from the place, which he has
never seen, s•nd only knows by name, and who
has purchased a majority of the houses in it,
come into the town on the er•e of an Election,
►with thirty or forty dependents of his Master,
who have been convected probably on that very
day into voters for the Election—by which means
tl►e tew outstanding independent resilient voter►
are overpowered and prevented eleciing some
respectable neighbouring Gentleman, to whom
they are attached from the excellency of his cha-
racter, and the kindness he has shewn them—and
after the farce of suet' an Election, for so it must
be considered,--the Steward and his companions,
having been disqualified by returning to their
Master the qualification be had given them for
the day—retire from the town until another
! •and neither Principal, Steward, Members,
or occasional Voters, think any more of the place,
until the same disgusting unconstitutional scene,
is to be 'played over again ! !

A JOURNEYMAN WEAVER.

We understand that a criminal information is
to be moved for against Sir F. Bu DETT in the
course of the prescht week,—(Morning Paper )
'flee Provost, Magistrates. and Council of the
Royal 13ti.gh of Cupar, Fifeshire, at a meet-
ing of the Council on Saturday last, unani-
mously voted a dutiful' and loyal Address to his
Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, ou the pre-
-sent alarming state of the country.
FATAL AC:GWEN:T.—On Thursday last Mr.
Smith's hounds threw off at Burton Kennet,
Lincoltish;te; being the day atter the Stuff hall,
and
,uncommonly fine, there was a very large
concourse of sportsmen, both horse and foot. A
(head's{ accidrot befrl Mr. Bt-et ham, a young Gen-
tleman of Nettlehamorear Lincoln. On leaping over
a low fence into a plantation, his horse's feet got
entangled in some loose wood which lay on the
other side, and fell down, by which. Mr. Beecham
was pitched with great violence again:t the stomp
.4 a tree, and shockingly brilised. He was con-
veyed to his own house, about a mile from where
he accident happened, Without any hopes of his
recovery, and is since dead. He was about 26
years of age,-aud uuiversally respected.
