PUBLIC FEELING. RIOTS IN DERBY. The accounts from Derby, received this morn .ng, are of a most alarming character,—serious riots having broken out there in consequence of the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House A Lords. As soon as the news reached Derby, ocat crowds of persons assembled in the public streets, and commenced attacks upon the houses )1* persons known to entertain hostility to reform. The magistrates and the police were wholly unable restrain the people. They attacked the county Ind town gaols and released the prisoners.— fhey then renewed their attack on the houses ;If persons opposed to the present Ministry, and destroyed the windows and much property. The military were called out, and it is said seven persons had been killed and many wounded. The streets of Derby were so crowded, that it was scarcely possible for the coach, which reached London this morning, to pass through them. The utmost alarm prevailed. A special messenger arrived to Govern ment with despatches from the public authorities of Derby with the information. But few particulars are at present known be ond the above. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The accounts received this morning from Derby are said to be of a gloomy description ; se- Imes riots have taken place. On its being known there of the Reform Bill being thrown out by the Lords, the gaol was broke open, and the prisoners released—the mob fired upon from the prison —many wounded and some killed ; a newspaper-office pulled down, and a glass house destroyed.—lt is said the mob were still continuing their work when the account left. This beginning has caused some sensation in the city, fearing the flame will reach to many other places. MARYLEBONE GREAT MEETING. A singularly numerous meeting of the pa rishioners of the extensive parish of Marylebone took place this day, at the Horse Bazaar, King street, Portman-square, for the purpose of address ing the King, to support his Ministers, and to con sult on the affairs of the country at the present awful crisis. J. Hume, Esq. M.P. was invited to take the chair on the occasion. The Meeting was announced to take place at twelve o'clock, but such was the intense feeling evinced, that by half past ten o'clock a numerous body had assembled.l By eleven the galleries on both side of the hustings were crowded ; and before the chair was taken, the whole of the extensive space in front of the hust ings was taken possession of, the crowd extending lip a greater portion of Baker-street. A loud cry vas now raised to adjourn, and Hyde Park was named, and thither at least 15,000 persona repaired, but this was found to be out of the parish, and the bulk of the'mass proceed to Mr. Maberley's ground., Regent's Park. In the meantime Mr. Savage and a part of the committee took pos 6ession of the Achilles figure, opposite the Duke of Wellington's, but those who followed would not pass the resolutions until the whole body ware to gether. The r esolutions pasied were expressive of the indignation of the meeting at the conduct of the opponents of the Bill—declaratory of their love of the King, and determination to support his Ministers—and to refuse the payment of all taxes. Colonel Jones, Mr. Savage, and the whole of the influential Reformists, were present. The most serious effect of the impassioned deter mination of the "INCURABLES" on Saturday was a run on the Bank of England for gold, to the amount, as is said, of several hundred thousand pounds. It was produced partly by alarm, and partly by the demands of country bankers, who are generally apprehensive of a run on them ; and large sums were in consequent* required in gold by some of these establishments. THREE O'CLOCK. Notwithstanding all that has been said, the Kixo does not come to town till Wednesday. In the mean time, Earl Gaut is gone to Windsor, to confer with his MAJESTY on the present momen tous state of the gauntry. To allay the ferment in some measure, it is put forward that a coalition of parties, at least on the subject of Reform, will be brought about immediately. A very extraordinary report has jest reached us, that his MAJESTY has sent for the ARCH 0111110Y of CANTERBURY; and it is added, for the purpose of concerting with him the prorogation of Parliament on Friday next. We give this just as %x \las reached us. It is one of a hundred ox dies, teat have filled the town during the morning; but the authority is respectable, and if it be true, it indicates that there are intrigues at work, more than have yet met the public eye. On Saturday evening, yesterday, and to•day, considerable crowds fill the street near the Duke of Wellington's; and the public during the last three weeks have been much piqued at the regular blockade of all the windows of his Grace's mansion, and, as we are told, inside as well as outside. COMMON HALL.... ELECTION OT LORD :11 A yow.—At One o'Clock, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Court of Aldermen, went to Guild hall in state ; shortly after they appeared on the hustings, when the Sheriff having returned Sir John Key and Alderman Thorp as the two success ful Candidates at the late election for the Court of Aldermen to choose one of them for their Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, the Court of Aldermen :etired to their Council-rooms. From the delay in making their return, it was conjectured that a Strong debate vnsued. The return had not been made when our first edition went to press ; but if ill time, we shall give it in our second edition. PUBLIC FEELING. The leading in all the parishes at the eastern part of the metro were busily employed the whole of yester. day in making preparations to support the Bing and his Mi. nisters in the present emergency. At an early hour, the news. shops were literally besieged, and such was the demand foe papers, that before nine o'clock half-a-crown each was offered and refused for numbers. A great many private houses were closed, and a variety of placards exhibited, expressive of the abhorrence and detestation with which their authors viewed the decision of the Lords. The following's a sample :—" In mourning for the 199 turbulent, factious, and misguided men, who committed political suicide yesterday morning." As a proof the excitement occasioned by the rejection of the reform bill, there is no person " who had ears to hear" who did not hea r, on Saturday and yesterday, as he walked the public streets in every part of the metropolis, comments of a serious nature on the disappointment of the public. In St. James's park yesterday every bench was occupied by in dividuals reading to others the debate of Friday night, who devoured with " greedy ear" the speeches of Lords Brough am and Orey, and whose remarks were a proof of the rapid march of intelligence, the contempt which the people have for a desperate faction, whose last expiring effort has given a Anishing blow to their arrogance and insolence. As soon as the news arrived of the fate of the reform bill, a meeting took place of the members of the Chink. burst Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry (commanded by Visoonni Sydney), residing at Woolwich and Greenwich, when they came to the resolution of immediately sending in their re signation, together with their arms and accoutrements, as they could not consistently continue under the command of an anti-reformer. In consequence of the rejection of the reform bill in the House of Lords, the members of the Court of Common Coma held a meeting in the Council Chamber, Guild hall, on Saturday evening, in pursuance of a requisition to the Lord Mayor, to take such measures in the present crisis as might be deemed expedient. The Lord Mayor took the chair. Mr. Wears moved that the resolu tions be read. They were expressive of regret at the rejection of the reform bill, and It was resolved to address the King, expressive of their unabated attach ment to his Majesty. their confidence in his Ministers, and recommending the adoption of measures fur carrying a Re form Bill into effect.—Mr. Taylor seconded the resolutions. He felt confident that the people of England would receive the rejection of the Bill with calmness.—Mr. Thornhill pro ' the second resolution.— Mr. Pritchard said that as the M e lton Council had the privilege of approaching the Throne, be would move that the Court should approach the Throne with an Address embodying the sentiments they had expressed that day. He concluded by moving that an Ad dles' be taken up to the Throne expressive of the feelings of the Council. It was seconded a nd agreed to. A Deputation was then appointed to draw up an Address to the Brno, which was subsequently agreed to, and thanks being voted to the Lord Mayor, the meeting adjourned.—See Adverlim. meat. TUB Re-acTiott.".....The greatest activity has been displayed, since the fate of the Bill was made known, by influential persons in various districts of the metropolis, to support the King and his Minister in the great measure of Reform. Throughout Saturday, and up to a late ►our on Sunday night, delegates from vatious parishes and publl bodies have been in communication with each other. A general determination seems to prevail:throughout all districts to set apart Wednesday next for the discharge of the great political duty which now devolves upon the inhabi:ants of the metropolis, to suspend all builness on that day, and to ac. company, in person, the deputations which will, on that day, bear addresses to the foot of the Throne. This is the intention of the great parishes of Mary-le.bonne, Pan. eras, St. Giles, &. George, Bloomsbury, Clerkenwell, St. George, Hanover.square, Chelsea. St. Luke and Islington, to follow the example. The meeting at the Crown and Anchor of delegates was actively engaged yesterday, and some very strong resolutions acre prepared for this day. The various trades of Spitalfieltis and Betbaal.green held meetings last night, which were attended by immense num. ben, and the utmost confidence was expressed in the firm ness of the King and his Ministers. A meeting of weavers is called, and the attendance of 16,000 at least Is calcu- Lied on. Such was the state of public excitement during the whole of Saturday, in many parts of the City. and the West-end, that numerous shops were wholly, and some partially closed, in mournful testimony of disgust at the division of Halberd of Lords. Upon many of the shutters in Holborn, and in the parish of St. Giles's, were large placards, calling upon the :people to pay no tales, and to resist a seizure 1 dlr. l'ouug,_ an di p exve Broker and Auctioneer, at . No, 269, igh Molborn, lacarded his with lie bills to the l following effect s—" Public f=No Tool of Power ! Mr. Young begs to inform the inhabitants that be refuses to levy for taxes of any description."—A public meeting in this parish takes place to.morrow. An extensive froustnith, who had upwards of fifty men in his employ, discharged the whole of them on Saturday after. noon, in consequence of the rejection of the Bill—an exam, pie likely to be generally followed. A man at a public house, in the New-road, was nearly killed on Saturday af. ternoon, for having bad the temerity to avow himself an anti. Reformer. The threatening language used by the thou. sands assembled yesterday, in troops, in the neighbourhood of Palace-yard, we should not be justified in repeating. The bells of several churches in the villages near London, when the news arrived of the defeat of the measure, rung muffled peals. The Sags of many vessels in the river were to be seen dying " half-mast high"—many of them surrounded with black asps. The rejection of the reform bill has aroused a spirit among the people which it will be difficult to quell. As soon as the newspapers were out on Saturday morning, and the peo ple were made acquaintel with the result of the division • groups might be seen in every street consulting together upon the subjec:. A crowd bad assembled round the House of Lords at twelve o'clock, in consequence of a report that his Majesty would come down and prorogue Perlis. went immediately. The report gained ground tram the fact that the workmen were employed in making the usual prepa rations forhis Majesty's reception, but it was ascertained be. yond a doubt about S o'clock. that, at all events, the promo.' gallon would not take place that day. The Lord Chancellor returned to the House of Lords soon after one o'clock, and disposed of two appeal cases. His Lordship went to attend a Cabinet Council in Downing street • he was loudly cheered by the crowd. The Council rema ined in deliberation a' ' considerable time. In consequence of a requisition to the churchwardens of the parish of St. Ann's, - Westminster, the inhabitants met at eleven *Cleat on Saturday morning, at the vestry-room, which they fonnd closed against them. They than ad. jcsiarned to Key s Tavern, Frith.Mrtet, Soho, where, having unanimously voted Mr. Carpus to the chair, they passed a resolution that the Parishionen present, about 200 in number, were determined to support his Majesty and the present Ministry by every means an their power ; and one of the body having been deputed to ascertain the sentiments of the churchwardens, they were waited upon, and agreed k to allow a public meeting to take place at eleven o'clock this day, a: the vestry-room. It was stated at the meeting which took place at the Crown and Anchor is Saturday evening, that Red Grey had received an express from the most influential persona in Birmingham, stating, that if the Reform bill should be thrown out by the Lords, and the Ministers ,retained their' places, they had sufficient influence over 160,000 men, in that neighbourhood, to prevent them committing any lanes in censequence ; but that if his Majesty's Ministers resigned, they would not be answerable for the consequences which would inevitably result from such a step. POLICZ Minimum—A detachment of 400 of the New Police were marched off to Hammersmith at half-past six o'clock on Saturday evening. Their place of destination is supposed to be the scat of the Marquis of Londandwry, Rose-bank Villa On Saturday night a meeting was held at the Crown sad ' Anchor Tavern in the Strand, of the principal inhabitants of various parishes in Westminster, for the purpose of adopt log such measures as might be deemed proper in the present important aisle. Mr. Dc Year was called to the Chair. The Chairman stated that he had called the present Meeting to make the necessary preliminary arrangements for a public' Meeting of the inhabitants of the different parishes in Westminster to appoint delegates front each of those land the adjoining parishes, to act conjointly, as dream. stances might require. Colonel Evans, M. P. said the object of the public meeting suggested, would be to convey to the King and his Ministers an expression of the con fidence of the people in the present Administration. He suggested the meeting should be called on Monday. A, gen. demon observed that delegates were now in Oren from different parts of the counuy y :who would gladly co-operate with any Committees that might be formed in town. Political Unions were forming rapidly throughout the whole of the country, and they only wanted to receive instructions heel London, as to how they should act. A long conversa t ion took pl ace, during which several facts were stated proving PUBLIC FEELING. the strong determinations of the people to act with firmness and unanimity. It was at length resolved that a public meeting of the elector, of Westminster should be held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, this day, at two (fur three) o'clock, for the Purpose above stated. A Sub-Committee was appointed to prepare a series ofrmolutioos to be submitted to the meeting, and to open a correspondence with Reformers in all parts of the country, requesting their co-operation.— Col. Evans deprecated the speech of the Duke of Wellington which be characterised as an advertisement for the Pre miership. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.—An Elector of Westminster observed. that they could legally assemble,* Delegates, but they would act Mrgally by communicating with their constituents.—lt was proposed to apply to the High Bailiff of Westminster to call a meeting; but it was stated that considerable deity might take place, and the Meeting determined to call a Public Meeting, on their own responsibility, for Monday.— A Gentleman said, that the meeting of Delegate. had taken place at that house that day, when arrangements were made for calling a general meeting of Delegates from every part of the kingdom. (Hear, hear.)..-A Delegate from Bristol said, be had been in company with one of the Members for that city during the day, and was assured that there was a Union of Reformers 30,000 strong. in Bristol, which were determined to unite with oth er Unions in obtaining their rights, by aiding the Minister, in carrying the Reform Bill through Parliament.—(.) It was moved and seconded, that a public meeting should take place on Monday (this day). Colonel Evans suggested the pro. priety of a sub-committee being formed to prepare so Ad. chess to the King and his Ministers. A Committee was in stantly named, and it was resolved that they should meet this day at twelve o'clock t o prepare an Address so the peo ple of England. A Delegate from St. Clement Danes declared, that the conduct of the Duke of Wellington, alter his manor able avowal, " that he was opposed to all and every species of Reform whatsoever," in eanvassingkas he did byhis speech en Friday night) for the premiership, was chateetnistic of the gross duplicity of that noble duke, wbo, to get into power again was willing to grant some half measure of reform ; but be (the Delegate) was confident the people of England would not lend themselves to that party who, when in power. and with bayonets to their bands, derided and scoffed at all those praying for reform, and they (the peopl) would unite in support of those hosettrable aod truly patriotic men, his Majesty's Ministers. (Cheers.) A subscription was opened to defray the expenses of tbe meeting, and after several speeches an adjournment took place. We have taken some pains to obtain information as to the indications of the state of the public mind, in the me. tropolis and the country, on the present crisis. The fol. lowing are a few of the facts which have same to our knowledge :—" It is known In the city that considerable purchases have recently been made of American stock.... There is reason also to believe that some persons have pro vided themselves with sums of gold, and property easily available in emergencies ; but great cambia is used not to create any alarm, and the purposes are seldom avowed.— At the clubs, and other places of meeting of the trading classes in the metropolis, various plans for the formation of a national guard, have been the subject of discussion. We have been informed that In several districts of the me tropolis the tax.gatberers have been informed by the inhabi tants on whom they have called, that the taxes which they have recently collected would be the last which they would have to receive, unless the reform bill was carried. The dia. trims to which we allude are not those in which ,determina tion has been evinced, with reference to the taxes called rates imposed by self.elected bodies, to act upon the constitutional principles that taxation without representation is illegal; namely, Mary-le-bonne, St. Pancras, and Islington parishes. We may mention as an instance of the quiet mode in which these determinations will be carried into effect, that the inha bitants of St. Martin's parish, without calling any public meeting, or making any outward demonstration, have re fused to pay the last poor.rates. The amount which it was expected to produce is, perhaps, 2,9001. and of this amount probably not more than 1001. has been collected. A petition from one district of the metropolis was the other day carried by a deputation of tradesmen to a peer, with a request that he would present it to the lords. The deputation consisted of antral of the most wealthy trades men of the district; men each of whom eiuld retire from business on an independent fortune. They informed his lordship that they considered the bill to be a conservative measure with respect to the produce of their own labour; and if the present system was continued, that produce most be dissipated by its operation, or they would beam* the mere managers at capital for the benefit of others ; sieves, toiling to supply the demands of a body of posegase task masters. That they and their neighbours had determined (though they bad, for the present, thought St not to express the determination by a public resolution), that they would at once discontinue to pay taxes immediately they found that all hopes of reform from the casein Government must be given up. We are informed that an Anti.reforming Duke has been heard to say, that he does not care for the refusal to pay taxes ; since the direct taxes (meaning the assessed) form but a small portion of the revenue, and the indirect taxes, by means of which " a strong Government" may be carried on, until " good order" is restored ; will, be conceives, continue to be paid • for, Pays his Grace, the people will not cease to consume taxed commodities. Never was a greater mistake committed. The people will undoubtedly continue to con sume the commodities but freed from any unconstitutional tax. The manufactories of several of the most important commodities here spoken of, as the places where the attempt. to levy unconstitutional taxes may be the most efficiently resisted. NATIONAL Uttros.--The moment it was known the Lords bad rejected the reform bill, a circular was issued, calling together the committee of the National Union. A full meeting was held at the Committee Coffee-house, Tem. ple.bar, and the following document was unanimously agreed to s " We declare individual property of every description, acquired by honest industry, or under the sanction of laws (however unjustly enacted) to be sacred and inviolable ; and that we will, by every means in our power, strive to bring those to punishment who seek individual wealth or grati. Ration. by an invasion of the rights of others, instead of promoting public good. Although •we are, in many respects, the victims of property, and the slaves of mo• nopoly and individual wealth—yet we seek not redress in the chaos of confusion, or an indiaalminate struggle foe pre-eminence ; we are only anxious that property should be turned Into those channels which an enlightened Legis lature, chosen by all, should determine to he promotive of the happiness of all. We, therefore, assure all classes, not interested in existing corruptions. but who are desirous of promoting the happiness of mankind, that we will cordially co-operate with them In resisting and opposing tyranny of every description, and in seeking to procure fur this country such institutions as shall, in the opinion of the ma. jority, be deemed the most efficient to promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number. We, therefore, rely on the honest Intentions of a patriotic King, and on his Mi nisters, who, we trust, have the happiness and welfareof this kingdom at heart ; and not their own exclusive privileges and distinctions ; and we hereby call upon them to unite their solicitations with those of a loyal people in urging two his Majesty forthwith to take such measures as will ►ad with the least delay to the attainment of this just sys tem of representation." Bnutsesnasr.—The unwelcome Intelligence of the re jection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, arrived in Birmingham, by express, about Sr. o'clock on Saturday afternoon. An universal feeling of disappointment and indignation pervaded the whole population ; the funeral bells of the churches and chapels were immediately mused and toned, as upon the most solemn occasion. The Cornell of the Political Union assembled spontaneously in the course of the evening, and yesterday (Sunday morning) the town was found placarded with the following admirable Address : " Friends and Fellow Countrymen,—The Bill of Reform L rejected by the House of Lords ! Patience 1 Patience!! Patience I!! Our beloved Kiog is firm his Patriot Ministers ate firm. The House of Commons is firm-- the whole Nation is firm. What then have the pork to fat?

Tne small Majority of Lords will soon come to a mass of the ditty which they owe to their country, and to the King, or some other legal means will be devised of carrying the Dill of Reform into a law with out delay. Fellow Countrymen,—Be patient—be peaceful —be strictly obedient to the laws, and every thing is yet safe." BATII,OCF.9.—.- I reared a paper this morning, confirming the sorrowful news of the defeat of the Reform Bill, which was known in this city yesterday afternoon at half-past four by ex. press. Words cannot depict to you the sorrow that was mani faded, and the anger that was displayed by all classes. A great many shops wets wholly, or partially. closed in the evening, the bells rung a muffled peal, and every thing seemed to pro. claim, that some great calamity had befallen the nation. This morning the streets are placarded with bills, calling on the inhabitants to follow their Birmingham brethren, and ro pay no more taxes ; and which, I assure you, is the general feeling. A meeting is to be held of the inhabitants at the Assembly Rooms on Wednesday met. from which I am con. fident they must adjourn, as the room will not hold the tenth part of the people that will attend ; tor never was the feel. lags of the people wrought up to such a pitch and well they may, when they find that the country is to be governed by a set of miscreants, who set at defiance the wishes of the King and the Nation, merely to gratify their own avaricious and dishonest wishes. But in this they will be deceived, for when once the British lion is aroused, it will not Decay to pacify him ; for the injury they meant foe others will only fall with redoubled violence on their own heads. INCR.—The large towns in Suffolk, Essex, and Nor folk, presented on Saturday a mixed scene of exultation and of consternation, such as never was before witnessed ; but though the feeble Tories and Clergy had their party who rejoiced, the bewailing party were, in every town and vil. lage, the ten to one; and though there was much lamenta tion, even to the dressing in mourning habiliments, yet there was no despair ; no, despair is a sentiment that no liberal Englishman ever can entertain in a good cause—con- Mance in the firmness of Ministers was the general feel. ing; and though the Church party insulted the feelings of the Reformers, by ringing the church bells in many of the towns, yet all was borne with that good temper and firmness, that absthi, nee from any thing like riot, or mis trust in our Clovernintnt, which consciousness of rectitude always inspires. While the bells of the church were firing, and peal on peal den:mistiming the true disposition of the Tory and Church party towards the Bill, which proposed to give liberty and constitutional rights to the people, the people themselves were quietly lamenting the folly and weakness of the Tory party, and assuring each other of mutual confi dence, and of a mutual Jetermination among Whigs and Liberals to waive all petty objections about clauses, and to unite their efforts, in every legal and constitutional way, to obtain " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the BiU," looking on every deviation from the Bill as dangerous to the liberty of the people; determined as the people are every where to support the honour and happiness of a patriot King, of an enlightened Ministry, and of a grateful nation ! —Nothing on earth ever exceeded the marked contrast be tween the few ill-grained exulting Tory group s , and th e numerous orderly Reformers, who were gathered in the streets ; and if other outlive follow the example of the eastern district of England—if steady perseverance, and a peaceable yet firm determination to rally round Ministers, be equally general u it was in this part of the island, there can be no doubt of the eventual, and, we hope, speedy de. feat of the oppressors of the _people. RINGINO or BELLS —The circumstance of the ringing of church bells ought to be distinctly marked out, as iron eating the real tenour and feeling of the church party to wards the question of Reform ; which, when we also r.col lett how large a portion of the Bishops contributed to the lose of this great English question, ought to convince every thinking mind of die necessity that Reform should begin with the Church, in order that impediments may be removed to its being extended to the country. County Meetings in Norfolk, and in Suffolk and Essex, are expected, in support of the great principle of Reform. These meetings wiU now Le held under very advantageous circumstances, since all minor considerations are laid aside, and all the liberal party united to support "the Bill." One sentiment pervades the minds of three parties, via. the Whip, Liberals, and Radicals. That sentiment is, "To support she Bill, and never to suffer one atom of power to devolve again on the Tories, whatever way be their preten sions to moderate Reform." (lumina'. illoUnxixo.—A general mourning for the fate of the BM is talked of, to be continued till the Bill ha carried, in the next Parliament. 32. - Ameaw's.—The public disappointment, if not the public determinssion, was yesterday amply manifested in this borough, by the signiheant elevation of a large black nag upon the cupola of the Town.hall. The bare announce ment atlas sign of the times is sufficient--no comment is ' necessary. The course the people of England will pursue is clear, for the intelligence of the majority against the Bill had no sooner arrived in these towns, than a requisition was put in course of signature, requesting the Mayor "to call a Meeting of the inhabitant Householders of the Borough of Portsmouth on an early day, for the purpose of taking into constderatiou the propriety of addressing his Must Gracious Majesty, in consequence of the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of lards, to express the deep concern occasioned by the event, and the confidence entertained in the patriotism and integrity of his Ministers, and to beseech his klajesty, in the exercise of his Royal prerogative to adopt such mea sures as may be necessary to promote the passing of the said Bill into a law • and for the eoniilderation of bitch other legal and constitutional means as may be advisable at the present crisis." As we have no doubt that the requisition will be numerously and respectably supported, we anticipate an early and efficient Meeting on the eubjecx.--Howipsitire Tek firlei• Tlit following list of peers, and their proprietary boroughs, accounts pretty clearly for the majority of 22 temporal peers against the second reading of the rcorm bill :..

We are sorry to state that an adverse party feeling, which has too often misled the Court of Aldermen, has induced their worahirs to return Alderman Tuonr, instead of the preirent LORD Ms roe, whose re-election was 'i.e obvious pur rose of the Livery. Toots, our readers must be aware, is a reformer on principle ; but put forward on this occasion as a supernumerary, and the pre ference of the Livery was indicated by the superior number of votes bestowed on the LORD 511 volt As might be expected, therefore, the perverse pre feieoce of Alderman Looar defeated the object of the Livery ; for this gentleman, as might be ex pected, RESIGNED, and hence the city has to undergo the perplexity and confusion of a st:coeu ELECTION, in which no doubt. KLT and THORP will be again put forward, and he again returned ! It seems, therefore, that the Upper House in the city, as well as that at Westminster, are oeter mined to be at crow-purposes with the people, and to demonstrate how ueces•ary is a reform in the constitution of both. WESrMINsTER MEETING. This afternoon an immense meeting took place of the iuhabitants of Westminster, in the great r•oni at the Crown and Anchor. It was crowded man overflow, and an adjournment to some opera space was proposed, but objected to by the mem bers of parliament present, on the ground of the great importance of the questions to be discus,ed in Parliament this eveuing. Sir FRANCIS EL' It-. DE?? was called to the chair, and an address to the King, to exercise hut prerogative in nboosing• new Peers, was moved by Mr. TIJOU. Mr. tAit , PUN, with great ability moved a resolution ex pressing the disappointment and indignation of the meeting, at the late decision of the Lords. An address was also moved to Earl GREY, in treating him to continue in office, and pledging the meeting to receive the reform bill, from no other hands. Colonel EVANS, and Sir. J. C. lion- HOUSE spoke with their usual energy. The pro ceedings were conducted in perfect order. THE NAVY.

The Court Martial on Commander Belcher, on charges we enumerated last week, commenced on Thursday on board the Victory, of 100 guns, and has sat daily since. The Court is composed of Vice Admiral Sir John Gore K.C. B. President, Captains Hart, P. Bl ac k woo d, Lord hidolphnq Fitzdarence, 0. Lambert, and Duntra—James Hoskin.. Esq. Judge Advocate. The late First Lieutenant of the /Etna, Mr. Quin, was examined on the first and cross. examined on the second day on the whole of the charges. Lieuts. Bond and Miles have also given their evidence, and that of Mr. Backbones has commenced. We abstain, In compliance with the wishes of the Court, from publishing any portion of the evidence until the Court Martial has ter. minated ; we cannot, however, refrain from thinking that the Admiralty would have acted more wioly had they or. dered the /Ewa to be paid off immediately on her arrival in England. By such a course some exposure, not quite cre. disable to the service, might have been avoided, and a great expense saved, which has often been refused on much more !important smatters. _ _ _ (From she Hampshire Tesegraph.). PORTSMOUTM, OCT. B.—The Tribune, 42, Ca:resin Duntze, arrived on Wednesday evening, from th e South Ame s Tian station, having aboard nearly I million of hard dollars, Including 112,000 recovered from the wreck of the Thetis frigate, which sum, with 225,000 remitted by previous op. portunities, make a total of 367,000 saved from that unfor. toaste ship, entirely through the exertions of Commander T. Dickenson, and the officers and crews of his Majesty's ship Lightning, the efforts of whom to recover an additional quantity were immediately to be resumed. The Tribune sailed from Valparaiso on the 4th of June, and Rio Janeiro on the 11th of August, leaving at Rio the Druid frigate, Captain Hamilton, recently arrived from Ragland, and the Lightning sloop of was ; the latter was on the point of ' returning to Cape Frio for the purpose we have stated.-- Admiral Sir T. Baker, in the Wanipite, 74, had sailed to the Cape of Good Hope and the Isuritius ; the Ade. laide, tender to the flag-ship, had sailed for Bahia and Pernambuco, with copper ; the Tyne. 28, Capt. Hope, was at Bahia ; the Algerine 10, Commander D e R oos , was in the Rio Plate ; and ate remainder of the 'gumboot were round in the Pacific. The Volage, 28, Captain hotel Colchester, and Semarang, 28, Captain Charles Paget, had not arrived on :he station from Ri.gland, when the Tribune left Rio. The Alert, 18, Commander Fitzge rald, will be the next ship fur Europe with specie, and it was fixed she should leave Valparaiso on the 25th of September. Peru and Chili are still unsettled in their po litical relations. A recent revolution in Peru obliged Ge neral Miller to take refuge for safety in the American ow. vette St. Louis • and the Vice Pr es id e n t o f t h at R epu bli c had been compelled to fly. la Chili, the persona in au thority used all foreigners indiscriminately very ill, plunder-_ ing them on the slightest pretext. The French squadron were in consequence about to proceed to Callao, to enforce a de mand of 50,000 dollars, uy way of restitution for an attack that had been made on the French Consul's house at Nan Jago. At Rio Janeiro confidence was returning, but im plicit reliance on the troops toad not as yet been placed, the Olken., by way of security, inetmehim _performing the duty ratitine.a, bearing muskets, at the ftok, Custom thew, and other public establishments. We are wry to -taw the death of Mr. bindery, Mate of the Adelaide, tender us Ate Warapite, and two men, who were drowned moue days previous to the arrival of the Tribune at Rio Janenci, by the boats in which they were having been swamped by the breakers on the bar a catastrophe which arose from a sudden change of wind to that quarter, which alone makes the passing of the bar hazardous to toasts; not a breaker had previously been seen upon it for tour nimiths.
