Sir R. BERGUSSON rose to present a petition,
feat the Tottn and Parish of Dysart, in Fileshire,
signed by PAX) persims, praying for a Reform in
Parliament. He remarked on. the very great dia.

could nut avoid saying, that as Ministers were well
, apprised of its existence, they had acted very injudi-
ciously in introducing that mnektry of a Committee

friend to Parliamentary Reform, but protested against
the wild doctrine of universal suffrage which had ar
peered so very prevalent. Tbe petition was laid on

Yes►erdsp being thidafto which the last Meeting
11 in Spe-finids-adj,turraelea-large assemblage appeare,4
in fmnt of Merlin's Cave, awaiting with rtr.ler and
prime the arrival of die deride:nen who have hi•
therto taken an active Part• is ,thd proceedings of
these Meetings. .
Soearly as nine o'clock in the .morning crowds
flocked to the place if meeting from all quarters.
The paths leading from, wno, thence from Islington.
the City Road, &c. arce,Sesented masses of peonle,
pressing forward with regularity and order. This
Mee.ing, like the preceding ones, was chiefly com-
posed of the working classes of the community.
whose impoverished appearance bnt too generally de-
noted the absence of those employments, through
which they were accustomed to be maintained. A
number of sailors were present, and though the Meet-
ing, at twelve o'clock, consisted of upwards of five
thousand persons, a decent sense of decorum pre-
vailed. Nothing can tend more to re,:nce the sym-
pathy' for the suffering* of this class of society,
and arrest the progress cf philmithropy and beneva-
lence in its 11::11J I, than a departure from that pa-
tience an 1 order which, in most intances, have marked
ttie popular Meetings tluoughout -the country.

At half-palt twelve o'clock great numbers sepa-
rated from the crowd, under the idea that no chair
would be taken, and the general belief was, that a
hoax similar to that which took place yesterday se'n-
uight, had been practised %Tow them. About this
time the numbers thinned to at least one halt, and
those who rema;ned seemed more anxious for spor-
tive frolics than str.ons deliberation.

After indulging fora short space of time in the
pastimes of the field, the crowd re-assembled, and in
greasadditional numbers. The general understand-
ing waned then . fixed, that the reviler business of
the day was soon to cominence. It WAS pretty well
understood, that Mr. HUNT, Laving declared at the
last Meeting of *the Delegates, most positively, that
the Meeting would take place, -and having at the
same time announced that its object was to take into
consideration the propriety of petitioning the Home
of Peers on the present distre.sed state of the cam-
-try, and the imperative necessity of Parliamentiri
Reform, no doubt was entertained that he would at.
'tend at the usual place of rendesvous.
Among those assembled in the room, from the
terindow of sihich it was expected the'speechet would-
'be delivered, were Mr. Pan rill, of Newgate-street.
who was one of Preston's bail, Mr. Canon, Preston's
enficitcr, Mr. Clarke, the former Chairman, and so;
veral other persons.
In the course of, the morning, a Gentleman, who'll
same WAS understood to be STZWAW4 addressee(
sane of the persons who were engaged in idle amuse
ascots among the crowd, and caseated that they
' would conduct themselves with peace and quietness g
but at the same time he pointed out the necessity o 4
.straining every nerve, in a constitutional way, to obi
tain a radical Reform in Parliament, and a reduction
of those abuses by which die State was oppressed.
A great number of Magistrates rode crinstantly
among the people, and lolr. STSSTORD, the Chief
atleow-street, with a phalanx of Police officers,
paraded in the vicinity of the ground. Several divii
sions of cavalry were stationed in the City Road, and
.a very strong party of them was driwn up at the top
of Gray's Inn-larde, with words drawn, and-provided
with theia full accoutrements. There was not, how-

ever, the least appearance of a military force where
the Meeting was assembled.
News hAviag towards one o'cloik reached the field
that Mr. Hunt was on bis road down Gray's Inn-
lane' about WO persons ran off from the corner of
the field nest Cuppice-row to meet him, and came
up with him at the end of Elm-street with their hats
off, and vith the most entbusiattic shouts. Opposite
the entrance of the House of Correction, the popu-
lace manitosted sm intention to take the horses from
his tandem, and to conduct him in triumph to the
Merlin's Cave. By the earnest persuasions of Mr.
Hunt and his servants, however, the critwd was dis-
suaded from this attempt, end he war allowed to,
proceed at a slow pace, amidst loud cheers. At di*
monmat Mr. Hunt'i approach Was but partially'
known, and the great body tif the people who re•
trained on the spot were "as yet uninformed of the

• At one o'clock universal shouts announced the
rival of ante popular character in the field. A great
bustle was now everY *here Manifested, and neces.'
eerily led to a great degree of pressure.
.44 this mo-
tient individuals shouted out the naroe of their fa.'
vomit* public character. ' Soine cried out, 66 Here $
btraluat r' others. Lord Cochrane f" Mr. Cols-
'betels native was also mentioned; and during the mO-.
mentary agitation 'which this anxious stropense occa-
sioned, gongs of pickpockets were evidently on the
alert, 'and had for the instant apparently succeeded
in creating among the immense. crowd that sort of
pressure and clamorous interruption which are' vo.
well suited to the inallEgeMest of their depredations.
As soon', tiOwever, as a lane could be Made toiatidi
the Merlin's Cave, the Gentleman _whose arrival at
the extremity of the field had created io much cell.
taiion .was found tabe.Mr. Hoot, who drove np in
his tandem to-the home: kie immediately ascended
to the first floor window, where she Chairman had
hithertulieen placed, and in the until 'manner; and
with the same applause.
Air. CLARKE was again ealledto fill that. office:
