LONDON:
MO DtT. JVLT 12, ISIP.

A Meeting has been advertised to be held at Bir•
',gingham this cloy, on the subject of a more equal
audition Wilmot Representation : notice was handed
to the Clerk of the Pears for the county. The
place of assembling is New Hall-hill, and the time
three o'clock in the afternoon. Ms* CARTWRIGHT,
Sir CIIAII.IIII WoUELZV, Mr. Wunza, and other
distinguished Reformers will be present on the occa-
sion. Whoa we could', that the above great town
contains a hundred thousand inhabilsols, and that
the place is unrepresented in Par Utmost, while Old
Serum, Gallon, and many other places almost
without any inbebitaots at all, send two Members
each to Parliament, we cannot bet wonder t►at
each o disgraceful proscription has beets allowed to
nisi. Nothing bet the grossest ignorance as the one
side, sod the basest injustice oaths other, could have
allowed this degrading eacisaioo es well in respect
to Manchester, Sheffield, and other places, as Bit.
mlogham, exist so long. We trust it is near to its
end.
The melancholy less of Madame BLANCIMAID pole

Moogolfier balloon of Mr. Routie In PILATRE,

We shall inknowledge the ingenuity of the Coto.
rkr, if be can bring the long list of Oankrepte which
appeared in Saturday Night's Gaulle, es an induce
of the flourishing condition of the country. Ile has
, sot lost the opportenity of speaking of the enheaced
Income from the Customs and Enloe of the last
gutter, although the canning lOW knew very well
that the swelled sum of the receipts was solely occa-
sioned by the new tales which were sheet to take
piece. So much for the iogenoosuees of this Minis-
terial Journal.
It bas Olen been said, that the common order or
proceeding of news." riling is to assert an act or fact
one day, to espies' a doubt of its accuracy of state-
ment the neat, sod the third to contradict the whole,
giving ea account bow the mistake arose. We could
really wish this may be the case with re6ard to the
American Caplets pettiog to instant death a
deserter willful the form of any trial whatever.—
Thal the Americans ars reputed to tell merrelloss
stories sometimes cannot be denied ; bet we are new
to believe that any Officer of that reentry *odd,
even to the middle of a fierce war, commit such an
outrage en humanity es to order a soldier to be shot
its the manner described by the New rub Evening
Post : our is it easier to he believed that • Liestenant

host, 'every much akin to the former in respect to credi-
bility. That there are Americans angry with their
coentry,sad ate ready to tell stories of their country-
men, are circumstances not unlikely : bet we do hope
that such persons are not allowed to invent and pro.
parte such defamatory acts whitest being made ame-
nable for them.
Persons who know nothing of Mr. Owci's plan,
and yet desire to throw a discredit over it, speak of
its being ululated to torn Eaglet, into one east
poorhouse. This is a violent distortion of the bene-
volent scheme ; hot even taking them at their word,
be would deserve much credit and gratitede, foe the
poor are encreesing in number every day, in so much
that they will presently have no hewing et all.
We aught it right to lay before our Readers the
snout, which will be found in another column, of
certain harsh transactions which have taken place in
Pensacola with respect to deserters. We gave the,
statement simply as it appeared in the American Pe-
per, and the same earnestness for troth and hew-
deity iodine, us to caution ear Readers apiast
trotting to any sentiments which may be incited
within then from reeding the comments of the Tuxes
on this affair. The spirit of Slopisas still haunts the
office of that Joined, though the cursing is net so
biller as was wont to be in the days of the Dotter ;
America is ono of its permanent provocations ; hence
the apostrophe of coodelence which the writer in-
scribed not long ago to the wolves sod foxes and Red
Indians on the danger of their being displaced by
the tide of savage emigrating which was rolling
westward; hence also the present rapid and most
probably anjest condone's, which be has now
adopted upon the first party statement of the above
case. The account is half discredited already by the
Savannah Republican, and from that Journal it up.
