Mr. Monsoon said, after the able manner in which they had
been addressed, there remained but little to be said ; but the ne-
cessity of Reform :night be 'hewn, by stating that the Gren-
vines had received above AlOO,OOO of the Public. Up to this
time, this money would have produced two millions to the
Public. Let them begin, by sending men to Parliament who
would attend to Reform in Parliament, and not such as would
laugh at Heir instructions, and insult them in the House of Com.-
naons. and elsewhere.
Mr. J. W. PARKINS bad a Resolution sent to him last night,
which, out of a sense of humanity, he should feel it to be his
duty to propose to the Meeting. He then alluded to the first
motion foe Reform. which he said had taken place in that Hall
precisely on that day 5 years de weeks and four days before—
(A laugh); at which Alderman Beekford suggested, that Annual
Parliaments were best ; in which opinion he (Mr. Parkins) con-
I curred with him, on the principle that " short reckonings make
long friends." He then recurred to the Resolution to which he
I had alluded, which was to present a Petition to the Douse of
Commons to remit to Mr. Hunt the rem:bider of his sentence.
Mr. Alderman Warrnmax said, the right of petitioning was
rendered of little value, since he never recollected any good re.
suiting from any Petition. Many causes of distress had been
sought for; but they must all know that accumulated taxes had
reduced the prices of all commodities. The natural effect of
taxes was at first to raise the price of things ; but now it was
impossible for the People to lay the taxes on their commodities.
The Fundholder had swept away all the property, of which there.
was plenty in the country, but in too few hands. A Minister
had said in Parliament, that their starvation arose from an czcess
of production. Thus they were told, there was a great deal too
much food, and yet the People were starving because there was
too much prevision in the country. The laws of nature were
counteracted by taxation ; for the whole property of the country
had got into a few bands. It was asked whether Reform would
give the People food, and redress all evils? Nobody said it
would; but if they had not had corrupt Parliaments, it would
have been impossible for Ministers to have brought such distress
on the country. To obtain a barrier for their rights and property,
they asked, but in vain, for a more equal Representation of the
People. Nothing could be a greater insult, than that only one
of their Representatives was present on an imeortant motion for
a Reform in Parliament. This was an accourt which they must
settle with their Representatives. He would venture to say,
that the distress of trade exceeded that of the agriculturists. It
was impossible for them to meet the taxes, when their property
was reduced 50 or 40 per cent. Nothing would relieve them
but reduction of taxation and of useless places, rigid economy, and
a Reform in Parliament. They had been told that the People
were getting too enlightened; but surely that was increase of
strength, and the more they would perceive the beauties of the
Constitution. But Government must have a standing army.
and corrupt influence, to counteract the increased information
of the People.
The *solutions, and a Petition founded on them, were car-
ted unanimously.
Mr. Favaxx moved, that their Representatives be instructed
support the Petition. and to forward Retrenchment. Economy,
Reform.

Mr. Alderman Woon felt it to be a great honour to be in-
trusted with the presentation of their Petition, with the senti-
ments of which he perfectly concurred. He should take care
to give his colleagues due notice of the time when he should pre-
sent it to the House, that they might have an opportunity of
supporting it or not, as they should think proper. He thought
k impossible for them, when they considered the state of the
asnutry, which was now perfectly well known to them, to avoid
vain with him for a reduction of the public expenditure.
Mr. Ham: referred to the manner in N hitt the Knightsbridge
affair was treated in the House of Common., and compared the
conduct of Sir William Curtis with that of Alderman Wood on
that occasion. He also alluded to the conduct of the Common
Council, and concluded au animated speech by proposing a vote
of thanks to the Common Council, and a vote of censure upon
Sir William Curtis; which were carried with but one hand held
up against them.
Mr. Favax then pronounced an eulogium on Mr. Hume, to
whorls he proposed a vote of thanks; as also to those Members
who so ably and eloquently supported hint in his efforts to pro-
cure economy and retrenchment.
Mr. GALLOWAY seconded the motion, which was earritd
unanimously. ,
Mr. Favar.t. next adverted to the treatment of Mr. Hunt,
which, whatever his political principles might be, he said that
all men twist condemn, on the score of humanity; and, there-
fore, he proposed a Resolution, expressing the sense of the Meet-
ing, to that effect. It differed from that of Mr. Parkins in_ only
one respect--namely, in not stating that t
which, as 'it had been pronounced by t'
they might not be warranted in doli,g.
Mr. PARKINS defended the terms of
justified by the legality of the Meeting
Hunt had attended.
Mr. GALLOWAY seconded Mr. Favell'i

Thanks were then voted to the Loan
His iaudship expressed his sense of
