Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1832-06-19

I.ivery oil London, moro numerous, Intelligent and
determined both in tone and spirit, than any within
our recollection, held at Guldhall for the pur.
pose of pctioning the Commons House of Par,ia
mcnt to withhold the supplies from the Executive
Government, until the Reform Bill shall have pass
cd into law; and also of addressing his Majesty
to take the necessary steps for securing the imme-
date passage of reform by sufficient creation
of Peers.
Tie space between the barriers was completely
filled, aud tho aspcc, of such vast number of un-
covered heads peculiarly striking, but the una.
nnnity and hr,nncss that distinguished their pro.
cccdngs was still more impressive than the num-
bers OF the assomblage. All the resolutions were
carried without the slightest opposition unless that
given by one single individual in the crowd to each
asst was successfully proposed deserve the name.
Indeed, the meeting seemed to be pleased at this
solitary disscnticnt, as he showed in a very EN-.
phatc manner the singular union of the livery, and
tho strength of the general feeling.
ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER.-rhc c.
lectors of Westminster met Friday, pursuant to
notice, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the
| purpose of ''adopting measures commensurate to
the present alarming state of the country" The
chair was taken by Sir +. Burdctt, who spoke with
much vigor upon the objects of the meeting.
resolution against the grant of any farther supplies
by parliament, and petition founded upon it, to
the liuso oof Commons, were unanimously adopted.
FRANCE.
| The Paris Moniteur of the 18th, contains tes-
| graphic despatch, stating that the lady taken on
board of tho steamboat, by the captain ofthe Sphinx
turned out not 20 be the Duchess de Bcrri.
! Corn Erchdnye.-Our supplies of Wheat and
Flour during tho last several days though not large
have been quite equal to the demand.
The trade throughout the week has been more
than usually languid. On Friday, and again on Sa
tnrday at Manchester rather lower "a ties were ac-
cepted; the best Irish Wheat being sold at IS i'd to
! Is Sd per 20 ID.
Sour Flour, under lock, has been sold at 1ss; but
there are few disposed to offer their stocks at this
| Pricc-a small quantity of sweet has been bought
at 23s to 23s I'd per Dbl. The bonded Wheat is
mostly held at above present quotations. One or two
small export orders have been executed at Cd to
| 6s for Burctta, and IS Sd for Cornish.
AT to-days market all descriptions of Wheat
were, fully Id per 20 lbs lower than on this day
sennight, but at this reduction the finer qualities
were decidedly more salcable. There was SCARCELY
any alteration in the value of Flour. A large bu
sness was done in Oats, and at prices rather above
those obtainabe at the close of the week but % Cd
may be considered an extreme quotation for Irish
Oatmeal was dull of sale at 25s Cd to 26s per
| load
