THE BRISTOL VTAMINO..
(ram A 3 Irt N ENV'S rA ma.)

BRISTOL, InCriIVIBER 28.
Mr. lic.x.r arrived in this city about twelve o'cleck
Thnreday, In his tandem, and immediately pro-
ct.eded to Brandon Hill, followed by forty or fifty
persons, Men and boys, many of them in sailors'
jackets. The gate at the bottom of Ole Hill had
b en previously opened for a small plv:y of the 23J
Dragoons, 'stationed in College Green. Mi. Fluter
moved a tiliCrt distancek up the Hill, ehtre be re-
aiained about five minutes, in a state °lan:mos sus-
pence;. for at this mcment it seemed dou!:ttul whe-
ther he would he able to pre-curc an au-Aience, the
;assemblage around him 'not exceeding fifty persons.
The cause of Reform seemed desperate. Neither
chair ncr Chairman had been provided : aucl the Ora-
t(:t, seated in his g7g, tinted his eyes ia every three-
tion, apparently much puzzled to account for the
paucity•of she numbers in attendance.. bitterest
enemy of Mr. Hoar would have pitied 'him' at this
moment. We did so from the bottom of our hearts,
.ati he abused ds afterwards for our pains. After a
pause of some minutes, Mr. HUNT made a retro-,
grade. Movement, and drew up within the railing im-
mediately opposite Quern's Parade. Here the want
of something in the Shape of a rostrum again delayed
the proceedings, the advocates of Corruption having,
it was said, threatened the carpenters employed to
erect a stage fur the Mating with the pains and pe-
nalties of the law. There was no Malin': cave in the
neighbourhood—no Spa&ld's waggon for the Poli-
tical Roscius!
" Bring me a carpenter's bench !" cried the in-,
dignant Hero of Reform.— But, alas ! the carpenters
were All at work, and even this humble accommoda-
tion was denied. The. auditors,, however, had by
`this
time considerably increased, and, as much pre-
cious time had already been wasted, Mr. Hoar stood
up in his gig, and, without waiting for the presence
of the Chairman, immediately begau to address the
persons assembled. •
We cannot pretend to follow Mr. Hyst through
all the details of his speech, which occupied an hoar
and three quarters in the delivery, and embraced an
infinite variety of topics. He began by stating that
every impediment had been thrown in the way of the
present Meeting. A requisition had bens presented
to the Mayor, signed by thirty•threerespectable free-
men, to call a Meeting, in order to petition for Re-
form; but the Mayor had refused to comply. And
what Was his answer ? Why, that he thought it un•
necessary to call a Meeting fer any such purpdsit!
( the Mayer!) The freemen, however, were rklt
to be intimidated. They were now assembled for. a
legal' and constitutional purpose, and sheir enemies.
would not dare to interrupt them.. It was probable'
that the frieels of Corruption:would send-their toolp
to this Meeting .to create.* riot ; but the military
would onlyslrighten the old women. 'They would
not kill any body ; because when they began to Inll,
here was no knowing where it might end. The park
tisane of Corruption wanted a plot—they would give
Any thing for a plot—but we shall disappoint them.
" I ihoisld.,not wonder it the Mayor was -to send for
the two Sheriffs and the Aldermen, indahe Bishops
or All the ?arsons in the City; and have a raw).
