A abetting of this meaty was hebt aorovillay.

Meeting, and it is worthy of remark, that ii was k

stilt of the piuceedings has shewe, need be canoe of
regret with sone who have not seglected their ditty.
A petition. having Reform of the Hesse of Coostmees
fur its prayer, was brought forward is a wary.ably
manner, by Mr. Merrest, and as ably seconded by the
Rev. Mr. Browne: Not the slightest opponitinn
an offered to the several eloquent and fondble
speeches made bythose who addressed the meetly la
sopport of it. The Duke of UAW ford and Marg. ofT

futile to petition ski House of Commons on the sub-

Neil* Detre delivered a most eloquent speech im,tlap
port of this eatt‘e g exhorted the people to persevere
is their ezertioss; to meet to petition in Hundreds, hi
Parishes, and is all sorts of ways. and was sonliffint
that by perseverance they would succeed. We good sot
say that these sentiments were rich as met the coat
nr bounded approbation from the vast *armours, as-
sembled. None of that disturbance which it bad
been held out we might expect took place, and we
were glad to see that no animosity on account of or.:

party.—Os account-of the ill state of health, we sup-
pose, or of the iadieposilicos, which prevented ,the
town . tind county members above.alluded to from at-

any of those representatives with the petition of their
eonstiteentr, for presentatioo to the House. It was
aftertrards, however, agreed, as Lord F. G. Osborne had
voted silkiest the Salt-tax, that he mig:it possibly, not

meet., and that an exception might be made with re-
gard to his Jcurdship; and it was accordingly" voted
