" In consequence of an invitation from Lord Althorp, there

was a very numerous meeting on Monday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, of the members of the House of Commons who have supported the Reform Bill. We understand that Lord Althorp informed the gentlemen present, that he had taken the liberty of calling them together, in order that he might make some suggestions to them as to the course which it would be most expedient for the friends of Reform to pursue with a view to the speedy and successful progress of the measure. He strongly, but re- spectfully, urged such members as had given notices of motions for amendments in the Bill, not to persevere in such motions, unless, upon consideration, they should deem them to be of essential importance. He did not pretend to ask of an y gentle- man to abandon his opinions in deference to the Government. He merely put it to the good sense of members, whether it would not be more advisable to give up any objections which they might entertain to some of the details of the Bill, than to de- lay and retard its progress by bringing on endless discussions in the Committee upon such details. He was most anxious—and so must be every true friend of Reform— that as little delay as possible should occur ; and therefore it was that he urged gentlemen to sacrifice their feelings upon some minor points, and thus accelerate a measure to which they were all so deeply interested. Whilst he thus expressed his anxiety that all delay should be avoided, he begged to be distinctly understood, that the enemies of Reform were most miserably mistaken, if they hoped to defeat the Rill by delay. They might originate discussions from day to day, and throw obstacles in the .way of the Bill ; but of this they might all rest assured, thatrather than abandon the Bill, Parliament should be kept sitting until next December, or next December tweiremonth, if necessary. "Sir F. Burdett fully concurred with the noble Lord as to the necessity of pressing on a measure upon which the public mind was so much excited. He need hardly say that he entertained very strong feelings upon the subject of Reform, and that there n-ere some provisions which he would wish to see introduced into the Bill, which it did not at present contain ; but he would adopt the suggestion of the noble Lord, and give up for the present his own views upon these particular points, in order that, as far as he was concerned, no impediment might be thrown in the way of his Majesty's Government. He would accept the Bill in its present form, as a measure calculated to do immense good to the country; reserving to himself, of course, the right to suegest, at any future period, such amendments as would give a. more extensive operation to the principle of the Bill.

" Lord Milton differed very materially from the honourable Baronet. His wish was that the measure should be final ; and therefore he thought it their duty to make it so perfect in all its details, as that it should not require future amendment. "An honourable Member observed, that it would be endless work to try to moire any measure of such a complicated nature perfect; and that the working of time would always point out improvements, which might be beneficially adopted. "Several gentlemen, we are informed, expressed their warm concurrence in the view taken by Lord Althorp, and promised, as far as in them lay, to give effect to his Lordship's suggestions."

CONDUCT OF THE ANTI-REFORR MEHEERS.—A number of the Livery met on Tuesday at the Guildhall Coffeehouse, to discuss the expediency of a public meeting. Mr. Fearon, the chairman, stated, that he had, the clay before, conversed on the subject of the meeting with several members. "The general impression amongst them (and they were stanch friends to the Bill) was, that if, when appearances to throw impediments iu the way of the measure were first discovered, a Common Hall had been summoned, a good effect would, doubtless, have been produced ; but they thought that the most important schedules—those which went to dis- franchise the rotten boroughs—were now nearly disposed of, and that in all probability, if the boroughs had been put together in a lump, they would not have Leen got rid of sooner than had been the case, as certain forms were considered indispensable in the House. The fear was, that if any other course had been adopted, topics of irritation would be in. creased, and further causes of procrastination would be the theme of discussion. Under such circumstances, they were of opinion that the Bill would within three weeks pass through the Commons, as the Oppo.
