an inquiry into the state of the nation, embracing the
question of the Currency, the Finances, the Poor
Laws, Machinery, and the whole question of Taxa-
'titin, which the Right Hon. Gentleman wanted.—. The
whole of the question aimed at the removal of Mi-
nisters; thus mixing up political feelings with use,
consideration of the miseries of the people, an jogai:pi
which ought always tobe kept distinct and sacred. He.

•
A Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of the
Borough of Southwark troop place lb their Town-
Hall,. yesterday, to take into consideration the mea-
sures now pending in Pirliament. The Hall, and
the passages leading to it, were excessively crowded,
ante peat cenconme of people remained in•front of
the building, unable to attain admission. Sooty after
one o'clock, the Htmt BAILIFF, Sir Robert WlLsox
CIIARI.IIII CALVNAT, Esq: SOLOMON Davis, Esq. Kr:
BLACK, Mr. Hass., Mr. WIATMEASTONII, and a astbs-
ber of other Gentlenien, entered the Hall I and the
Melt Ramer having takes the Chair,"opened the
business of the day, by observing, that they were eon-
vend for the purpose of exercising one of their
most important functions—the right and privilege of
questioning the measures of their Government, when
propounded to the Legislature. Under such momen-
tous circumstances, he felt convinced that be need not
err upon them the necessity of being circumspect,
dignified, and constirstiosial. This was the more ne-
cessary, as their proceedings would be ably and
faithfully recorded by the Public. Press', and circa-,
late& throughott the Kiagdoln.--The Deputy. Bailit
having read the Requisition
Mr. WIATMEKSTONE addressed tbe Assembly.—
They had been in the habit, be sak4 of frequently
meeting in that place during the last twenty years,
for the discussion of questions of vital impart to, the
State; but, important as chey were, they all sunk
I into comparative insignificance, when contemplated
with the five Bills which were now being inikried
through both Houses of Parliament with the rapialty
of lightning. After some further observa~ns, be
concluded by saying, that if the Ministeers in.

Their worthy Representative, Sir Robert Wilson,
properly characterised the whole of these measures h
the House, exposing their iniquity so ably, that the
whole country ought to feel obliged to him.
Mr. CiLvsav expressed his regret that-he was not
present at the last Meeting. He was, at the time, up-
wards of 400 miles from this country. No person
could view the transactions at Manchester, on the
16th of August, with greater 'terror than himself, or
feel more regret that Parliament had refused in-
quiry into these transactions, but he still hoped
the perpetrators of those deeds of blood would be
punished—(Applease). - With respect to the.present
measures ef the Ministers, he had shewn his opinissa
1 by his vote. He thought those measures not only un-
necessary, but wicked, and calculated to destroy the'
liberties of the country, and, therefore, they should
have his decided opposition in every stage--(Cheers).
The great question of Reform he held to be one of
vital Importance to the safety of the country, and he
was its ardent advocati—(Cdeers). Not such a Re-
form; however, as had been promulgated by some
perions, be meant Annual Parliaments and Universal

sot

ithdfrage ; but he wished to see every man who con:
tributed to the direct taxes have a vote in Parlia-
, mein, he wished for the total destinction of the rot-
ten Boroughs, and for their franchises to be trans-
ferred to the great towns - he wished for the repeal
of the Septennial,Act, and he wished to see Electrons
all over the kingdom carried on, upon as free and
independent a principle, as they were an the place in
which he was addressing them--(Cheers).

The Libel Bill underwent another discussim
night in the Loris. Various attempts wets nal
form a' precise definition of this hitherto Nuclei
'crime, for the purpose of introducing the sum
the Bill. The one adopted defines a libel to be
..ss writing calculated to bring his Ms.nurt's
es or that of the Plumes Regan; into toil
se or hatted, or the Government and Constnaki
the country, or either House of Parliarnel
“ tending to Excite his Maneris subjects to eta
" any alteration of any matter in Church or Sal
`, by law established, otherwise than by la
44 means."—The concluding words are definite,
those that precede leave a libel as undefiled
ever ; for the question will still be, what kid
writing is calculated to bring the Rum, the kern
or Parliament into contempt? An Act of Pastas
itself may have this tendency ! Who is to da
on the tendency? The writing may, in the ea
some men, appear calculated to produce thisda
,in the eyes of others, equally pure and loyal, it,
appear not only harmless, but meritorious. I
law, with this definition, will leave men as ignx
as ever respecting the crime to be visited w
miehment fpr a second offence. But what is
meaning of punishing a man by law for libd
the House of Commons? The House of Cara
lineeds no protection of this kind, but can at osa
that which is denied to the Itnto
itself, without even the form ofa trial (i.e. balk
both Judge and Jury), send any per'son to psi
who incurs its displeasure.
A Deputation of seven most respectable Is
sellers and Printers had an interview yesterday'
