ellipect to the misapprehension of an opinion be had
glees, alluded to by his Hon. Friend, Mr. Hume, tie
should endeavour in a eery few words to remove it, al'
leudid not wish to occupy the attention of the company
by any thing personal to himself. Thinking as he did,
that the national debt waii a most oppressive bodies on
the industry of the country, he bad, in his lace in Par-
'lament, expressed his opinion that it wo mea-
-1 sore of wisdom to submit once for all to a fee
in order to remove it, and for that purpose £ded
a general and fair contribution of a portion of e cry man's
property; not, as had been said, of the property of the
landowner only, but of that of the merchant, the manu-
facturer, and the fundholder. He should have be*
ashamed of himself if any thing sounfair could ever hate
entered his mind as that of exonerating the fundholier
from the payment of his quota of so equitable a tax. Ott'
this subject he should say no more, as he fully agreed with
his Hon. Friend, Mr. Price, that as this day was set'
apart for the purpose of acknowledging the services of
Mr.iluirie, questions wholly extraneous should be avoided.
Of Mr. Hume's services to the public, he entertained as
high as opinion as any gentleman present, and as be bad
seen much of his persevering exertions, he could perhaps
speak of them with more accuracy than many others. Mr.
H.'s exertions in Parliament bad been unremitting as
they all knew, but he bad duties to attend also in different
Committees, and few could ben a just Wesel the number
of docunients which he had to consult. When he considered
the variety of accounts which came under his notice, and
the voluminous reports whicii he had read, be believed be
might say that is persevering exertions, Mr. Hume had
never been surpassed by any former or present Member
of Parliament. It was a plesore to him (Mr. Ricardo)
to reflect that he had voted on all occasions in favour of
economy, and while be had a seat in the House of Com-
mons he would continue to give his Hon. Friend his
best support in opposing every wasteful expenditure of
the public money. He toneurred With the Hon.

without it there would be ow check in the bands of the elec.
tors against the corruption of the members. If elections
were not frequent, wi not very materially improve
our systim, and if they-wnte, it would be but reasonable
allow each Member ee set as be thought proper, nee.
withstanding the knews seatinseats of his constitneat
—those condign's% would have the power to displace
him at the following election. With respect to the
third point, the mode of election, he thought that or
the greatest importatice on a question of real refers*.
To secure a reel Representative of the People le Peril*
ment, there must be seeresy of suffrage, or ao it was
commonly called election by ballot. It was nothing
but mockery and delusion to pretend to give the right
of voting to a man, if you prevented him from exec-
cisiog it without controul. Let the kind offices and su-
perior talents of those'above him in station have their
due effect is induencieg his wiil,-this was a just sad
toiritisiste influence, but do not subject his will to the
will of another. If, yon do, it is not his vote you obtain,pl
but the vote of another man, and it would be better and
more honourable to give it to that inn in the first in-
stance. He (Mr. Ricardo) had thought much on this,
subject, be had attentively considered all the objections,
which were brought against voting by ballet. bat be
could see no weight in them. He hoped whenever the
important subject of Reform came under the consider-
ation of the Gentlemen prosest, they would not fail to
pay due attention to this'vitid acuity for good G000rs•

anxious to reach the heitiWinarters, Newbury. All the
inns werifilled, and -the beds were eagagid for some

read f ate has not been spent in the neighboorhood
of Newbury for many years. At a few minntes after

his bat ia the ring; and shortly aftenrards the Gee, with a
white topper, sitpported by his backer and Shelton, tea
pelted the token of &Geom, sad entered the ring. He
immediately shook hinds with Neat, saying, " how are

Hamel. were the seconds for Neat ; and Spring and
Shelton for the Got.' The odds had completely change

purposes for milling. The Gee on placing himself ia 1,

I.lfrit was equally on the alert. Hickman kept elodgiag

bit; but Nest was too leery to be had upon this suit,
and whenever the Gas moved, lie likewise altered his
position. Oa Nest's preparing himself to give a blow,
the Gas, smiling, drew kiniself back; bat immediately
afterwards, as if resolutely making up, his mind to do
some mischief, he went right bang in, and with his
right hand put in a Gabber, Neat retreating. Hickman
planted 0 second blow on his shoulder ; he also put in a
third hit upon Nest's left eye ; and elated with his suc-
cess, he was on the rush to place a fourth blow, when
Nest not only stopped him with a tremendons bit on
the throat, but made the Gas stagger a little. Hickman,
however. undismayed, attacked Neat with great activity,
and the result was, the Bristol hero went down between
the legs of Hickman—the Coekaies shouting for. joy,

thousands of pounds have been lost upon hint, his
backers have no right to complain. The courage lochsr
played is beyond description; but it may .4efife in future
to teach the FANCY the great danger in backing a
chicken against a cock. The behaviour of Neat was the
admiration of.all present: it was unasiumieg and manly
