A petition was yesterday agreed to by a meeting of the inhabitan:s of the ward of Bridge, against the window-tax. WVe are only surprised that suich assemblies, for the same object, arenot universal throughout the country; and that a tax under which every man, pxcept the opulent, must of necessity wince, should be treated by such numbers as a matter of complete intifference. If the people do not pe- tition, is it to be supposed that Alinisters will murmur for them ? If they do not set their own shoulders to the wveight, can they imagine that it will roll up hill by virtue of some new pinciple, the reverse of gravity?
