The Week •*I the Develet Steeling was en importaut in its nature aird'conseqtterrees. and dealt so sentation and calumny in which the Ministers and their partisans have endeavoured to indulge, that no one can be surprised at the efforts made by them to throw discredit upon the constitution of the meeting. To this meeting ull the retainers of the Treasury had been looking anxiously from lie-t intim 'lion of the Requisition that e.0.m.-a to an nounce a Ministeii I Address, amid IA own t to. of course, were their dismsy aii.l anguish at the triumph obtained by the truly loyal majority of the freeholders. Not being immediately provided with topics for censure, the writers of the Treasury Journals, with their customary contempt of facts. set about what might be called fishing. fur the means of calumniating the character of the assembly, while they took care to impute, by im plication, the severest censures upon the High Sheriff of the County, the Duke of Dfixox- SHIRE, and the other Noblemen and Gentlemen who flung out the mock loyalty Ministerial Address. firer. however, the shaft prepared for others re bounded upon themsrlier. Among several saga cirrus questions proposed et random It WAS naked— Were not the leaders of the itadieal4, and the Puke'. .Rents and tenantry, let prientety two the Hall, and .0 placed as to show a front of about six or eight deep in that fowl of the Hall where the Sheriff took his seat?" A 1.., " In consequence of this monomer', i 4 it hot 31 fact, that when the Committee of Reyui ei e Waists entered the Hall. tier Neareely found roan, to stow! i" To these questions Sir Gsonce CoEwc, the highly respectable Gentleman who appeared in the Town Doll of Derby to represent the Reqiii ritiotiistv, and who moved the original, or Minisie rial Address, gives a elear mid honest Ammer. It certainly sus somewhat unlucky that Sir GEORG 6 should, in the simplicity of his heart, have con-. crived that the qoestions were pot forward for the purpose of being answered. But, however. the worthy Baronet, in a letter addressed to the Editor of the Paper in which the questions were so pom pously put forth, says— " As ■n Englishman, sod a Christian, I feel it my duty ant to permit any statement, which, being incorrect, may tend unjustly to injure t►e character of those who opposed as, to go forth to the world aacontradieted; more parties. laity do I owe it to the High Sherif, Mr. Mandy, for whom I have great respect, to refute a statement, the stigma or which, if true, would fall upon him. As regard. your Imre questioa, quoted above, I her leave to slate, that sr, the Reeptisitionists, sire afforded equal facility *dent the Noble Morer of the amended Address to enter the Count 3, Hall. As regards your former question, 1 bey leave to stale, that the doors of the Hall were opened, fairly and equally, to all parties collected to the yard. I trust•yo■ will give this account the earliest possible insertion. " GEORGE CREWE." The risme of Sir GEoREE CREWS, independent of the circumstance that his testimony is given in favour of his immediate opponents, gives such an. thenticity to this statement as must command even the unwilling assent of the pat•tissos of the Minis ters. No pretence, therefore, can now be set up by any man in the empire, that the real sense of the Freeholder, of the county of Derby was not fairly collected at the late meeting. The county was put in motion not by the opponents of the Ministers; the assembly was convened by the Mi nisterial party for a purpose which must have roused all the activity and energies of the faction in . very quarter of the county. Accordingly the hlinisterials entt in their full strength, and, ac cording to Sir GEORGE CaewE's evidence, foie ;day was bileo , ll to both parties. No priority of admission, DO facility of entrance was granted to one class of persons more than to another—the gates were thrown open to all, and the people, without distinction of party, indiscriminately filled the Hall. There was therefore a fair trial of strength on that occasion ; and although the tninisterialists. to obtain a momentary triumph, and to throw a veil of delusion over the real purpose of their Address. disclaimed all connexion with the present unpo pular Cabinet, and hoped to secure their Address by making " 11w Kitta's name" their " tower of strength," the freeholders saw through the un nceurrr, despised the purpose for which it was attempted to be practised, and voted the Duke of DevoNsHlßE's amended Address with emulots enthusiasm'. Such has been the fate of every mi nisterial Address that has been submitted in any part of England to the test of I . ublic discussion its /111 assembly fairly and constitutionally convened_ 'nicker, and misrepresentation have in a inter G., instances, as at Shrewsbury, given a storainal in. umph in the missisterialists, but even to Ouse eras. the real sentiments of the people were felt by can did and impartial observers to be decidedly op posed to the measures recently pursued by the pre mist Ministers.
