a few more such sterling characters in Parliament, Old
RtiLl.ind would soon see better days. •
" The health. of Messrs. Smith and Burney" were
then drank with three times three.
Mr. R. lieenti, in returning thank., regretted the
absence of his Honourable who, !wisp( been
se long known to them, mast be more valued by, and
dear to them, than lie could pretend to be. Thus far. he I
could, however, assure them, that there was not any
lotto to whom lie would yield in respect and admiration
of the principles of Mr. Pox.—Hut though lie lamented
the diath of that great mats, he felt that, even wore he
living, hermit(' do no good while the power of the
Croon continued so (tour un ns, and while the House was

attended to. When he first stood a eanditate for Nor-
wich, he thought there was an opportunity of torsion
out the present Ministers, but he fonnd he was di
pointed, and lie had almost wished to retire Nan
life. But if there was to be any hope of ramie)*
measures in the kingdom, it most be by acting in

came, their political opponents would sot be idle.-11r.
O. concluded by giving " the health of Lord Bury and
the House of quilleuliani," whit!), was drank with three
times three.

Lord BURY, in returning thanks, obserrod that his
anxiety to disclaim the compliment so unmeritedly paid
him, had almost made him forget that paid to his family.
It was needless for him to tar, that his family had al-
ways advocated the people's rights—(Applause);—and
after the many testimonies of public favour which they
had received, it would be baseness in them to desert that
cause. He begged the Meeting to accept his apology
for having taken up their time, and also to return them
his most sincere and grateful thanks for the honour they
had done him.

The next toast was " Lord Erskine, and the Trial by
Jury," which was then drank with loud applause.
'I lie tu ‘lll3l or next proposed, " The Health of Lord
Anson, and Thanks to him for his honourable and pa-
triotic conduct at Stafford." He rejoiced to find that
this young man (be begged pardon for using the term
voting man, but his intimacy with the family warranted
him in doing so). he rejoiced that this worthy inheritor
of the fine and honourable feelings, and trefv patriotic
principles of his late father, and also of the principles of
his grandfather (Mr. Coke), had acted in the manner he
had done. He stood against a host, himself a host, ts.
supported, or rather supported only by his own integrity
and honour, and a coliseiousness of acting rightly.
The toast was drank with three times three.

The Mot. 31r. A xsost (M. P. fur Yarmouth) returned
thanks for the honour done to his brother.
The next toast was, " Mr. Anson and Mr. Rumhold,
and the independence of Yarmouth," with three times
three.

The lion. Mr. ANION, in returning thanks, professed
himself to be the melons admirer of the character and
principles of Mr. Fox. lie trusted that he•shonld ever
be found at his post, ready to defend thn rights and
liberties of the people, as established at tho•ttevolution.

The CHAIRMAN sail, be now cientrie it 'width
operated like an electric shock *post thb ; which
affected the whole people of Itogbragi, exhilk ing some
and depressing 91hers--M ovedielPl4ll Fr htary Re-
t;wm.—(Cheering73.--Tliat measure was looked upon by
some as a remedy for all evils—by. other., as the cause
of every mischief; but, in his opinion, both parties were
wrong. Ile would begin by stating, that In early life
he was much less the friend of Reform than be was at
present. (In that point he generally differed from those
friends with whom he agreed on all other great consti-
tutional points. He thunght Reform difficult in its as-
; rangement ; besides, he thought it would increase the
I influence of the Crown. These, with several other rea-
sons, which lee then thought good, but whieli he now
found to he bad, derided him against it. lie thought
the public mind might be quieted by conciliation and
good gorernment. The Prince Regent's Ministers, how-
' ever, overset his opinion., and made him a pitmen to
K storm to a co-.s L:erahle extent. He now felt con-
vinced, that what he before considered as great in-
conveniences, were hut as a feather in the scare to
what omit befal the Constitution, if the present sys-
tem of tiorernment was persevered in.—(Cheers.)—
Haring said so much, he hail no objection to state how
far he was imlined to go is Reform. Hut he feared,
that as he would not go so far as some, yet much farther
than others, he should be like the man suspected of
having killed the hitch fox, an object of jealimsy to all.
First, then, lie would have Triennial Parliaments, think-
ing at the same time that alone would be worse than
nothing. He wonld disfranchise all boroughs where!
corruption was proved to exist. He would extend the i
elective franchise to the large and populous districts,
and he would extend the right of Tilting to every man !
who paid direct taxes.—(Applause.)—There was, more-
over, another point, on which he ought to lay more
stress than on any of the others, namely, a keform
within the walls of Parliament respecting tilt eligibi-
bility of its Members. These were the opinions of
thousands, who like himself hail been made converts to
Reform. The Noble Lord concluded by giving.—
" A full, fair, and free Representation of the People
in Parliament,"--with three times three.--(Loutl
cheers.)
The next toast was, " The Extension of Esdneratititi."

The CHAIRMAN then gave, "The health of W. P.
Honeprootl, Esq. M.P., a m3n beloved by the men of
Kent, and who only required to be known to the men of
Norfolk to be equally beloved by tbetn."—(Drank witty
three times three.)

Mr. lioNarwonw begged to return his warmest thanks
for the high but unmerited compliment which had been
paid to him. He was but little known in the political
world, but he trusted that since he hail hail the honour
of a seat in Parliament, he had not disgraced either the
independence of the county of Kent, nor the House of
Comuions itself. Upon every occasion he had voted in
support of the rights of the people. He was twain the
principles of the great statesman whose memory they
uere then assembled to celebrate ; in other words, he
was nursed in the lap of liberty, and had at an early
period imbibed sentiments of freedom which nothing
but the stroke of death could eradtcate.—(Apislinse.)—
Ile feared it required no prophetic eye to discern that
the present system of tiovernment could not exist long. '
It was indispensibly necessary that there shoats be
change ulnae:satires. If the linuse of I:ammo's was to
consist of a set of packed borongli•niembers, then either
we most be reduces! to a state of anarchy, or else we
must have a military despotism, both of which were to
be dreaded. When he saw himself turrnuneell bY
such a meeting, all breathing but one sentiment,
felt confident that the day was not far distant when the,

Fall, tyrants, fall !

While the lordly usurper, who ruled with a sod,
