ativc had equally redeemed his trust, but the presence
of these honourable men restrained him from paying
that tribute to their services wkich he should, under
other circumstances, have been so anxious to express.
In vain did the enemies of Reform calumniate them
with imputations of being the advocates of revolUtion.
(Applause). Reform alone could save the People from
the continuance of those evils, and he had no doubt
that most of them would live to see it accomplished
--tcippiause).
ie CHAIRMAN, in proposing II The healths of the
Duke of Bedford, the Marquis of Tavistock, and
Lord J. Russell," observed, that the name of the il-
lustrious (louse of Russell was identified with the
rights and liberties of Englishmen. He regretted
that Lord J. Russell had been prevented by indispo-
sition from attending at the present Meeting.
Toast—" The Honourable G. Rennet, and the Reformers of

Sh;esysbury."
Mr. BEN NET, in returning thanks, expressed his
conviction that the only sound acts which ever ema-
nated from the House of Commons, were to be attri-
buted to the operation of public opinion. The 165
Members who bad recently voted for Parliamentary
Reform, were pledged to carry their votes into effect,
and he doubted not of the ultimate success of the
gveat cause in which they were engaged.
Toast—" Lord Thrington, and the Reformers of Dzvonshire."
Lord EBRINGTON returned thanks.
Toast—" The lion. C. Hutchinson, D. Idcardo, Esq. and
the Reformers of Ireland."
The Hon. C. HUTCUINBON declared his warm and
steadfast attachment to the cause of Parliamentary
Reform—(Applause).
D. RICARDO, Esq. said, that there was not in that
room a more zealous friend to the cause of Reform
than the individual who then addressed them—(Ap-
plause).—He meant not a sham, but an effectual Re-
form, which would give the People a majority, and
emote than a majority in the House of Commons.—
Such a Reform could, in his opinion, be effected only
in the House of Commons, by the exertions of the
People out of the House of Commons; He agreed
with an Hun. Gentleman who had addressed them
that evening, that they were not bcund to poirk out
the precise period in our history to which the repre-
sentation of the people was to be assimilated; the
People had a right to demand the very best Govern-
ment that could be obtained, and if their ancestors
bad not obtained it, it was no reason whytheir pos-
terity should not—(.4pplthire).
Toast—" Sir R. Fergussoo, J. Hume, Esq. the Hoe. Douglas
Kinnaird, and the Reformers of Scotland."
Sir R. Fenoussoe, in returning thanks, observed,
that his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) had done more
good in Parliament than any Scots Member had ever
done; though it was incorrect to talk of Scots Mem-
bers, for Scotland had, in fact, no Representation.
Mr. Hume declared, that in his opinion a Radi-
cal Reform could alone place the country in that high
and commanding situation in which it was entitled
to stand. By a Radical Reform, be meant such a
Reform as had been described by his Hon. Friend,
Mr. Ricat do ; such a change in the Representation as
should give the people a paramount influence in the
House of Commons.
Mr. Brume returned thanks in an appropriate
speech, on his health being drank by the Meeting.
Toast—" Dr. Lushington, and the integrity of the Bar."
Dr. LOSIIINGTOI4 reprobated, in the strongest terms, the con-
duct of the Landed, Interest. whom he described as basely de-
serting the cause of the People upon all occasions. He confessed
that in the present instance he could expect nothing from their
can4our, as they were only influenced by their fears. He could
not forget the transaction at 'Manchester, where the people were
murdered in open day, nor the fact that this outrage was coun-
tenanced by Magistrates and justified by Ministers, who still en-
joyed the support of the Landed Interest. Neither could he for-
get the case, of the Queen and the con:tuct of those Gentlemen,
upon that occasion. He believed in his conscience that Revolu-
tion must precede Reform; he would caution every man to avoid
that extremity, but if ever he should have to chute between re-
volution and despotism, he would take the first—(Applause).
" Sir G. Robinson ; Mr. Williams, /d. P. for Lincoln; Colo-
nel Johnson, and the Reformers of Northampton, Lincoln, and
Boston," were respectively given from the Chair.
Mr. WILLIAMS, in returning thanks, said, the pledges he had
given his constituents were comprehended in two words—lle-
trenchment and Reform.—(Great applause.)
Colonel JOHNSON said he had been but a short time in Paths.

resent, and he was already tired of his company !—(Cheers.)
" Mr. Coke, and the Reformers of Norfolk," was then given,
amid much clicoring, and the company separated at a late hour.
