PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

NOILTHUMBERLAWD RIFOZIK MEETING.—The ad.
journed meeting for reform for this county took place on
Wednesday last, in the New Court House, Morpeth. Re.
solutions, praying for a reform in the Commons Home of
Parliament, were proposed by C. W. Biggs, John S. Ogle,
jun. Wm. Lynn Smart, William Trotter, G. T. Fox, and
'Wright, &qrs. which were carried unanimously. Mr.
Sneed proposed an amendment to the first resolution, that
vote by ballot be embodied in the petition, and strenuously
enforced on the attention of Ministers, which was seconded
by Mr. James Jobbling, jun. and ultimately negatived.
The Hon. H. T. Liddell, James Losh, and Ralph Carr,
Esqrs. also addressed the meeting, the two former at con-
siderable length.
Monday last a public meeting of the clergy, gentry,
bankers, merchants, tradesmen, and inhabitants of Rich-
mond, in the county of York, was held in the Common Hall,
pursuant to a requisition numerously and respectably signed,
" for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety
of petitioning the Legislature for an effectual reform in
the House of Parliament; for economy and retrenchment in
the expenditure of the public money; and for the support
of the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of
other nations." The meeting was very numerously and re-
spectably attended. Several excellent speeches were made
in favour of a reform, and resolutions were passed ac•
cordingly.
A meeting o f the inhabitants of Devonport was held at
the Town Hpll en Monday, for the purpose of petitioning
Parliament on the subject of a reform in the state of the re-
presentation. John Clouter, Esq. was called to the chair,
Mr. J. Husband, junior, banker, proposed the petition in an
able speech, in which he dwelt on the gross injustice and the
injurious effects of the present system, that gave Represen-
tatives to such places as Old Sarum, St. Germaine, Michell,
&c. and left large towns, such as Manchester, Birmingham,
Devonport, &c. unrepresented, and dwelt on the necessity
of the vote by ballot. Mr. R. Candy seconded the motion
of Mr. Husband. Mr. W. Hodge, banker, and other gen-
tlemen, also addressed the meeting, by whom a petition, in
accordance with the views of the mover and seconder, and
including a prayer for vote by ballot, was adopted una-
nimously.

There is little to notice, in the way of change, in the Derby betting,
beyond a palpable improvement in three of the outsiders—Medora, In-
cubus, and Caroline ; die former was lo force, and likely to become a
good favourite. It would be no easy task to specify the claims of this
colt to his present station—be is of an nnluck stable, of a decidedly bad
sort on the side of his sire, and only rape la from his dam, Malora,
the dam of the Duke of Richmond's Guinan (winner of the Oaks ;)

in the St. lager beyond offering to bet 6 to bon Zany against Circassian.
