After the able and eloquent &permit from, the 4;heir

of the promoters of the meetiag, to state his motives
for coming f award on several recent occasions. It
was apparent a great change of feeling had takes
place. and that the people of &gibed had stew levied
out the real sources of their distress. It was to beep
alive this feeliag that. be was sow the advocate of seek
meetings as these, sod when he beheld the display of
'talent and respectability that surrounded him, he
thought he might congratulate them, that the tot* if
Reform bad taken root in the hitherto hot-bed of tecs
option—the county of Sara ; that a spirit bad
arisen productive of better times. pregnant with its
emancipation from Tory politics. It was a source of
pride to witness so decided a feeling in favour of Par
filmsetter Reform, being satisfied diem sever was i

of the people. . Twice bad the Mood of our country-
men been shed by the military. First at dfanchester,
at a just sad constitutional meeting of the people for
the discussion of their grievances ; and• dly. at
the funeral of our late oaltappy Queen, os which rea
easion two lives had been lost, and more blood would
have been shed but for the interference of a elitist
General, for which he was deprived of his commismion
without Isola( med. acquainted with the front of his
offending. On the first of these occasions felt the
Constitutive and. people of Ragland without the
means of defence. This was the deed of the Tsetse,
the triumph of be corruptionlets. 'to the wide.
Parliamentary Reform he attributed the present Agri-
cultural Distress, of which a raised°, of taxation
could aloae afford a remedy. Bet it was said that
taxation was ti bletsieg, and to use, the phraseology of
an Irish 'Answer, that it will retain Aby the eiret-
fying and fructifying powers of sysurreedea."
It is also said that the system Works treil.--,so it A*

ciples sad establishing a mom equal tad solid &pee-

liberties were lost in the corruption of the people."
In the same speech be declared tha, without Reform
so honest man could be a. Minister. But as sew as
he came into office a sort of political opthalmia tame
over his eyes, and be could not see as clearly as he did
before. lie exhorted the Meeting to disregard the
slander of the tools of corruption ; be hoped they
would rouse from their apathy, sad show themselves
worthy of exercising those rights for which they con.
tended. Let them boldly stand up, and tell their
rulers " that Britons never would be slaves." " Let
me," said he, " entreat every one who hears me, to
persevere In this glorious cause ; let no minor mini-
derations weigh with you a single instant. The hand
of power can no longer keep down the native spirit of
this county ; neglect not, I entreat you, as you value
your salvation, as you value your liberties, to cultivate
this sacred feeling."—(Applause.)
" The Liberty of the Press."
" The Marquess of Tuvistock, sod the Reformers of
Bedfordshire.'

The CHAIRMAN said that he hoped tie words of the
next toast would not alarm them. He would assure
them that the " immortal memory " of this tout, was
not the immortal memory drunk in Dahlia.—
" The immortal memory of the Patriots who have
fought and suffered for the Liberties of England."
" Sir Francis Burdett, and the Reformers of Mid•
diesel."

The CHAIRMAN said he was sure that the next toast
would be drunk with enthusiasm, by those who vene-
rated what was good and conscientious. He then
proposed " The venerable Bishop of the •Diocese ;
and an those Clergymen who, like him, 'practise
the doctrines which they preach."—(Great applause.)
Tise Rev. Mr. CLARK{ said he could not let this
toast pass, without attempting to give utterance to the
overdowings of his bean. MI who knew the caner-
' able Prelate, knew him to be one of the most esti-
mable of men, and one of the trust of Ch ' ' as, ad-
vocating both by precept and example. that first great
principle of religion, hearty love to all euankiod.
" Joshua Grigby, Esq. and our brother Reformers,
who tart at Bungay."

Mr.Gataer tianked his Hon. Friend, the elisineao,
for the honour he bad done him, aid especially for
having shown him up in such good company. He felt
a pride in having been (Asinine on the first Reform
dinner in Suffolk, where Le would be bold to say rot
one unconstitutional doctrine was avowed. They all
felt great obligations to Burdett and Hume ; but eves
the exertions of these gentlemen sunk into insignifi-
cance when compared with the assistance given to Re-
form by a Holme Sumner, and a Stuart Wortley. One
of these gentlemen said the other day, what they Lad
hitherto known practically, that the Government could
only be supported by corruption. What would be said,
if the Reformers bad made such an assertion ? The
Reformers did not wish to disturb the key-stone of the
arch, but they wished to secure the system by main-
taining the independence of the Commons' House, la
these portentous times they knew not what they might
be called upon to suffer ; bat as they bad the mesas of

Extract of a private letter from Liverpool, April
27 :—We have letters this morning from Kinsale,
stating that the letter-bag of t►e Albion had been
washed ashore. and many of the letters are in a muti-
lated state. We have so dou'at a list of the bills found
loose in the letter•bag will go up to-day.

The conferences between the bask-people and the
Whitehall people. which, they say. have been frequent
of late. are supposed to relate to a redaction of the he-
lmet at which the Bank gives dimwits; or. to cast
aside this vile jargon, the rate at which it lends
mosey. The loweriog of this rate being desired by
the government. mast be supposed to have a tendency
to assist the landlords and parsons. whose affairs press
most heavily*. Whitehall at present. It is. however, by
no means certain. that it would have such tendency; and
our bright gentlemen thinking it would be no very weak
presumption against the affirmative of the proposition.
Those landlords and parsons who have 'warily to give.
can get money at low in enough now; at.d. to a car.
Witty. the Bank lending at low interest would not
enable that body to get out and keep out more money
than Is oat now. Oh. me! The Devil that is at work
epos the hare•and.padridge geodenien is Pates Bill;
and Bank and Moisten may meet till they be as grey

or cases rents and tithes to be yielded, as long as the
present taxes remain and as the Bask shall be com-
pelled to pay in gold at 775. 1414 d. ae e.
The gold condones% go out of the country with
increased speed ! This must make the Bank drat, is
