been adverted to, he should beg leave to matte a few ob-
servations upon thatl subject. The c ;entry gentlemen
were now beginning to feel great distress. He said he-
ginning to feel it, for hitherto they had been living in
use and comfort upon the capital of the tenants, which
ass now in hot two many instauces entirely wasted.—
They hail brought the burdens of which they complained
upon their own shoulders, and were now going to be se-
velmly and deservedly pnnished for h.—(l.:hetes.) Had
they supported the cause of reform. the distress which
thgy were soon going to feel would not have occurred;
Litt as it a 3., they were now about to receive that re•
warit•for their miscondnet which he for one conceived
that they most richly merited.—(Cheers.)

Major Alt.V6/110140, in stew words, returned thanks.
Mr. Alil. DONSLAT, the Vice President, proposed the
" Healthof-i►r. Ottiwell Wood and the Whigy of Liver-
pool."
Mr.O. Worm, jin., returned thanks in the Hose of
his father and the Whigs of Liverpool, for the honour
which bad been conferred upon them, and is doing as
lamented that his fellow townsmea were net Kr fortu-
nate as the whigs of York. The former only met to as-
sert their principles—the latter met for the happier pnr
pose of celebrating their trinaspb. The Whigs off ork
wore fairly and honestly "presented in Parliament—the
Whigs of Liverpool were wet only misrepresented, but
also calumniated in that ailspibly. —(Cheers) The re-
pesseetation of Liverpool'was bs chi bands of a few per-
sons. and those of a condition in life that left them open
to every hind of intlitenee and cotraptioa. Indeed, he
did sot know of a stranger at/Omens to favour of Par-
liimentary Reform, than that which was afforded by an
erection ai Liverpool. During its continuance, the meat
venal prodigacy, and the most unblushing debauchery,'
were openly practised: and as to its result, be need only
point to their two representatives—men with oboe' the
iiihabitants of Liverpool had not oise feeling in comae*.

them to feel any respect : one of them, too, the child

urged as an objection to Parliamentary Reform, that if
It were granted the persons into whose hands the right
of ouffrage wonhi then be vested, would sot mike a
proper discrimination in the choice of representatives ;
but he would ask whether it wee now vested in the
bands of men who, from their sobriety, integrity, and
independence, were calculated above all others to exer-
cise a sound diserimination ?—(Chipers.)--Ide was
glad to hear that the great and opulent county of
York was shortly going to exert itself is the cause of

The manner To which Ministers treated it was well
worthy the notice of the company. If the costatry did
nut petition strongly and numerously for Reform, the
Mintsters took advantage of the calm and cried oat
" • Mind nut the petitions which are presented, they are
only the work of a few factious demagogues." If, how-
ever, the table were loaded with petitions, and complaiat

worm, then what was their language? He would Kite

Mr. UtIALONER on behalf of the noble Lord, returned
thanks, and said be should 'rail himself of the first op

manner in abide his health had been drank, and he
was sure that the noble Lord knew too well the value of

Mr. DinesLAT returned thanks, asd observed that*
was amongst 'lie few who were the means of establishing
the York Whig-Club. for the egress purpose of return-
ing two Whig Members to Parliament; and It was
gratifying to him and the.wbola Club, to find that
their-efforts had been credited with success. Were the
principles of tbe Tusk Whig Club generally acted epos
In the United Kingdom, be believed that a Reform he
Parliament would soon be the consequence. The wor-
thy Alderman concluded by again thanking the com-
pany fur the honour duce him to thus drinking his
health.
The Chairman said, that in nroposing the neat toast,
he begged :permission to couple the' names of two per-
• na with it, who were present, and whose gems wishes
he was sore, the Club had ; the toast was, "The Liberty
of the Press ; to which he begged to add, " and that
independeut part of it in Yorkshire—and the healtbs
of the editors of the York Herald and Leeds Mercury ;"
—(Applause.)—two gentlemen whom he believed to be
iincet r and true admirers of liberty; and he was ter.
rain that no exertions of their's would be wanting to
assist iu the good cause.—The toast was drank with
cheers.
Mr. W. HARGROVE and Mr. HAINRS each returned
thank..
Mr. Sykes rose and said, before he took leave of so
pleasant a party, lis begged to drink the health of a
Nobleman, who was friendly to reform. He should
say nothing of the talents or virtues of lard Milton,
hut should propose his health in the simple character of
reformer of pailiament. It was peculiarly his (the
noble Lord's) honour to advocate the principles of re-
form, because nothing but sincere investigation into
11-.lr merits could have induced him to embraie them.
Party feelings he always despised; therefore, it was
because he believed that reform was absolutely necessary
for die salvation of the country. that he had espoused
its cause. The toast was then drank with cheers.

COUNTY OF YORK.
This county seems to be io a stir, for 'Web. 1 thick
the country has to thank Mr. Pewees. MS Whig
Club held a meeting at York, on Monday last ; and it
appears, that Sir FRANCIS BORDRYT MSS expeeted, and
a seat, it seems, was kept fur him. What whim, what
crotchet, what bite of the Sea should make hint decline
to go to this meeting, after having sent a letter to apo-
logise for his absence front a Fox dinner at Norwich
who can tell ? lint, as 'Squire MUTSau says of his
daughter Sorra, " be lISS more windings and slothliage
" than a hare." This Whig Club seems to have talked
saline sense: it toasted alpeedy and effectual Reform of
Alt Commons' House of Parliament, and a large rare-
** of the nationel tsparditere. Mr. Wegita4 spoke
out common sense. lie did not wish for a Aso of prises:
bat for a reduction ofthe Petit. This was a useeting.there-
fore, that a man seriously beat upon the deliverance of
the ceantey. ugglit have atteided With coasiMeney and
with advantage. Mr. CnaLonea, the Chairman, la-
mented theabwace of Sir Fastens filmencre. In whom
be Impressed the getatest confidence. Now, I mast con-
fess, that I have no such confidence. The Baronet (to
prove his detestation of corruption, I suppose) bas lately
been dining with Ins brother Baronet Massie Ler
Fes! For my part Ido not look upon this as a trillst.4
draw important conclusions from it; and so will (veil,
body else that takes time to think of the matter. Bet,be-
sides tltis, Sir FRANCIS BURDSTT is wholly wrong with
regard to the main question now at Wm, He 'rialtos
fur relief to the land through the mewls of high prices.
This never can be without a return to the paper'system.
which has been the curse of the country, and which if
returned to, must lead to a convulsive revoludoe. Mr.
Wrvata. says distinctly that he, a Landholder himself,
does not wish for high prices. I agree with him ; hut,
Sir FRANCIS Bowery dues not.—Something of more
Importance, however, than the meeting of the Whig
Club appears to have taken place at York on the fourth
of November. It will be recollected that Mr. Pawns
called a meeting some time ago at York, to consider of
the measures to be taken in order to call forth that great
county in the cause of Parliamentary Reform. A Commit-
tee was then formed, which was to meet sealskin Nov. It
met on the 4th lost. when it appears to have been joined by
several gentlemen from different parts of theeoanty. The
whole body wiles] assembled appear to bars chosen Lod
Alit:roes for their Chairman, and to hare agreed to a
resolution Uses a requisition should be last Aimed by the
Committee, then sent to the different districts Of York-
shire for Wetmore., then seat back to York, aad that it
should then be presented to the High Sheriff by Mr.
Peeress. It is farther stated. that die Comminke are

la other commies of England to iodise* them to adopt
similar messores.—Nothing can be blotter caleilated than
this to produce the mrssurcs demanded by the state of
the roantry. It it a itefor■ of the lkosss of COOKINDS
