Tgx.PAILIANICIITART COMIIIISSIONZAL—The va-
rious gentlemen nominated in the English Reform Bill, as
*ell as those to be nominated in the Scotch Bill, are busily
employed in prosecuting the inquiries necessary for the re-
portrptich they will be called on to make. This does' not
much apprehension, on the part of the Ministers,
of what Is about to take place in the House of Lords.
Rauntuass POLITICAL MINN.—A general meeting of
the Union, for the purpose of petitioning the Lords to pass
the reform bill, was announced, above a week ago, as to be
held on the evening of the arrival of the news that the bill
had eussedthe Commons. More delay has taken place than
was expected; but we see it now advertised in our columns
to.day tbat the meeting of the Union is to be held on Mon-
day evening, at seven o'clock, in the Cowgate Chapel, No.
26, Iligh.etreet. All persons friendly to the object of the
meeting are invited to attend. The meeting could not be held
tonight, as it is impoesible to procure a church to meet in
on Saturday taming; and no other place is lame enough
for a meeting of the Union. The Newcastle Political Union
lately met for the mme purpose, above 4000 strong, in the
open air, sad passed strong resolutions in favour of the bill.
About 1600 members of the Union afterwards dined together
in toms erected for the purpose, and passed the evening with
great harmony. These Political Unions are now to be found
everywhere, and are an important sign of the times.
AtTisaws' Rzannto Room.— With much pleasure we

• Brokaw AGILITY.—A' few days ago a very interesting

town. While engaged in cutting down the crop, Mr. Sande
selected four old -persons, parishioners of Port, whose
united ftm amounted to =8 years. Two of them were
meg,endr two ern, and the women were sisters. They
were each fundsW with a sickle, and desired to try if they
stil retained their former skill as reapers; when they cut
down the portion of grain allotted to them with a degree of
neatness and expedition that would have done honour to
brawnier arms and younger sinews; and after completing
their labour, they danced a Scotch reel to the music of the
Highland bagpipe with great life and spirit. One of the
old men had a coat on, which had been in his possession (`r
80 oars.—Stir! Journal.
