He has too truly described the Tory rule in Ireland, through a long and uninterrupted succes sion of Administrations ; and it is sad to think that the Whigs have given too much cause for the reflections he has launched against them. But yet he is not fair and candid towards the present Government. They have done many things for Ireland beside giving her the Coercion Bill ; and they were disposed to have done more, had they not been thwarted in secret by half Tory instruments whom they trusted, and openly resisted by a Tory faction which they defied, but took not the right method to subdue. Mr. Plunkett's humane proposal to quell popular discon tent, by finding employment and adequate wages for the poor, was met by a Mr. Murphy with " a fact"—and a stubborn one it was. Within the last eight or nine years, in the Queen's County, a large sum of money has been ex pended in building a County gaol and a Lunatic Asylum ; yet, says this native reasoner, the people are still pooi• and dissatisfied! We are said by our traducers to be a thank less race, and orator Murphy goes far to prove it. What ! a prison and a madhouse—yet not content !

The Duke of Wellington received a despatch from his Ma jesty at an early hour on Saturday morning. His Grace was then at his seat at Strathfieldsay, Hants. The Noble Duke went to Brighton to attend the King, and had an audience of his Majesty. His Grace remained at Brighton till yesterday morning, when the Duke left the Pavilion for town, arriving at Apsley-house, Piccadilly, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Summonses *ere issuce on, Friday night to the Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council at 12 o'clock the following day, at the Foreign-office. The whole of the Members of the Cabinet, consisting of Viscount Melbourne, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Mulgrave. Viscounts Duncannon and Palmerston, Mr. Secretary Rice, Lord Auck land, the Right Hon. C. Grant, Lords Holland and John Russell, the Right Hons. J. Abercroraby and E. Ellice and Sir John Hobhouse, attended the meeting, and remained about an hour in deliberation. Despatches to his Majesty at Brigh ton were afterwards forwarded by Viscount Melbourne. Viscount Ebrington visited Viscount Melbourne in the after noon at the Treasury. In the evening Viscount Melbourne, Mr. Secretary Rice, aid other Ministers, dined with Lord Holland at Holland-house, Kensington. The Lord Chancellor and the Right Hon. J. Abercromby dined with Lord John Russell, at his residence at Whitehall, on Saturday evening. Despatches from his Majesty at Brighton were received yesterday by Viscount Melbourne, and despatches were at two different periods forwarded yesterday to his Majesty at Brigh ton by the Noble Viscount. The Duke of Richmond and Sir James Graham went on Friday to Knowsley-hall, the residence of Lord Stanley. Mr. Colquhoun had an interview with Mr. Secretary Rice on Saturday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Cleghorne trans acted business on Saturday at the Colonial-office. Sir H. Hardinge visited the Duke of Wellington yesterday afternoon. The French Charge d'Affaires visited Viscount Palmerstqn on Saturday. BRIGHTON, Nov. 16. Their Majesties, the Princess Augusta, Prince George, and the Royal suite herrd divine service this morning in the Palace Chapel. The Rtv. Mr. Wagner, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Everard, road prayers, and the Rev. Mr. Anderson preached, choosing for his discourse the 3d chapter of Daniel, and 25th verse. The organ was played by Mr. Gutteridge as usual. The body of the Chapel was filled with the nobility and gentry, who were admitted by tickets. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon his Majesty left the Palace in a close carriage and four, with two outriders, accompanied by Lady Errol, proceeded through East-street to the West cliff, from thence to near Shoreham, and returned to the Palace at half-past 4 o'clock. The Queen did not leave the Palace, although in the enjoy ment of excellent health, and the weather Inild in the extreme. The Princess Augusta in the forenoon took carriige exer cise. Her Royal Highness was accompanied by Lady L. Cornwallis. Sir James James Kempt and the Rev. Mr. Wynyard arrived yesterday at the Pavilion, on a visit to their Majesties. Prince George went to see the East Sussex fox hounds throw off at Cooksbridge. His Royal Highness was accom panied by the Rev. Mr. Wood. The Duke of Wellington arrived a little after o'clock last evening at the Palace, and had an audience immediately of the King. His Grace afterwards formed one of the Royal dinner party, and also slept at the Palace ; he took his departure this morning at an early hour, on his return to London. The re mainder of the dinner guests at the Palace comprised Sir J. Kempt, Colonel Danford, Colonel and Mrs. Talbot, Sir George and Miss Talbot, Hon. Captain Poulett, Sir John Smith, Sir John Jones, and the Rev. Montague Wynyard. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Law, Lieut -Colonel Somerset, Captain Jenkinson, and Major-General Sir Arthur Clifton, were amongst those persons who left their names at the Palace last evening. Whoever may have caused the dissolution of Lord Mel bourne's Ministry, there is one thing certain, that his Majesty has given his commands to the Duke of Wellington to form a new one. Of the truth of this statement there is not a ques tion of doubt. His Grace will meet his Majesty to-morrow at St. James's Palace, for which purpose the King will leave here at an early hour in the morning. A near relative of Sir R. Peel, at present residing here, dispatched a special messenger yesterday morning to the Hon. Baronet, now at Paris, by way Dieppe, with the news of the turning out the Whigs, and desir ing his return immediately. Sir James Kempt left the Palace this morning on his return to town. _ _ ........ Sir Charles Manners Sutton has not been sent for by the King, neither has he been to Brighton. Lord Melbourne, his eldest son, Lord Mulgrave, Sir Arthur Clifford, and another Nobleman, occupied the Duke of Devonshire's private box, at Drury-lane Theatre, on Saturday evening, to witness the representation of the new drama, entitled the " Red Mask;" and the clever afterpiece, called the "Regent." This distinguished party remained in the theatre until the conclusion of the performance, and fre quently expressed their approbation by their plaudits. Lord Melbourne and Lord Mulgrave appeared to be in the highest spirits—their laughter was particularly excited by the fun of Mrs. Humby in the Regent. Lord John Russell gave a dinner on Saturday at his official residence afflutehall. Lord Chancellor Brougham, Dr. Summerville of Chelsea College, and Mrs. Summerville, were of the party. The ex.Nvhipper-in has been paying a visit to Ber lin, as travelling companion to the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland. Dispatches, it is said, have just been sent to the Royal Duke, and his facetious companion, which, it is said, are likely to produce their immediate return. • The managers of the French plays for the ensuing season have taken from Mr. Arnold the Theatre Royal, New English Opera-house. The French performances will com mence in January. _ The Emperor of Russia has sent from Petersburg and commanded to be presented to Mrs. Somervill, author of the well known work, " On the Connection of the Physical Sciences," an extremely valuable opal, set with brilliants of the first water, " as a token of his since r e r egard and admira tion" of that lady's distinguished talents. READING, NOV. 15.—Our .' 4 .nnual Ball took place on . Thursday evening, and, as usual, had to boast of the attendance of parties of the highest distinction. The exertions of the stewards added greatly to the conviviality of the evening. Dancing commenced with a new set of quadrilles from Lestocq, finely performed by Weippert's band. The company did not separate until past four o'clock, most highly gratified. HEREFORD, Nov. 13.—Our annual Archery Ball took place last night at the Town Hall, and had to boast of the attendance of upwards of four hundred persons of distinc tion : in fact, we had the whole of the Haut Ton from many miles around. The company began to arrive at ten o'clock. Soon after dancing commenced to Weippert's fine band from London, with their Devonshire waltzes. The supper and re freshments were on a most liberal scale, and the whole reflected the Lighest credit upon the steward, John Skudamore, Esq. ST. LEONARD'S-ON-SEA, Nov. 12.--On Tues day last, as their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria were returning from an airing towards their residence at St. Leonard's, the off-horse began plunging and kicking, and, getting his leg over the trace, eventually fell to the ground. During his struggles, and before he could effect any mischief, he was secured, by the prompt assistance of Mr. Micklethwait and the Rev. Joseph Gould, who hap pened to be close at hand when ( the:accident occurred, and pro videntially were enabled to seize the opportunity of throwing themselves upon the head of the animal. Their Royal High nesses availed themselves of this moment to alight and escape from their dangerous situation. Tho horse struggled and kicked most violently, but, by the continued exertions of these gentlemen, he was at length released from the carriage. Im mediately after the accident, their Royal Highnesses, with the greatest condescension, personally thanked the gentlemen for the assistaneo they bad rendered. Mr. Micklethwait, we re gret to add, received an injury which obliged him to have re course to medical advice. --- LEWES, Nov. O.—Our County Ball took place last night in the County Hall, when most of the Nobility and Gentry re siding in and near the tow n , an d severa l di st i nguis h e d persons from 'Brighton, were present. Shortly after ten o'clock dancing commenced to Weippert and his well-organized band, and was kept up with great spirit until a late hour. Among the company were, Lord Colchester, Lord Cranstown, Lord Bolingbroke, Major-General and Lady Hepburne, Sir G., Lady, and the Misses Shiffner, Captain and Mrs. M'Queen, Lady. Morris, R. S. Streatfield, Esq., Mrs. and the Misses Partington, Mrs. Mrs. Hoper, Barchard, Esq., D. Gilbert, Esq., P. G. Crofts, Esq., Mrs. and Miss Crofts, Miss Wilson, Mrs. and Miss Upton, Mrs. and the two Misses Hill, &c. LONG STREETS.—" In Moscow," says a modern traveller, " I asked for the residence of an acquaintance,' and was answered he lives in this very street ;' but I drove three miles bticre I reached his house." `jVHE GREAT CRISIS ! STATE OF PUBLIC OPINION AND MOVE MENTS IN THE METROPOLIS. SATURDAY NIGHT. The astoundinc , intelligence communicated to the public in the Chronicle of c Saturday, created, as might have been anticipated, a most extraordinary sensation in the public mind. Although announced by the Chronicle in positive terms, yet, as it was but vaguely stated in the Times as a rumour for which they had no authority, and as the other Morning journals were silent upon the subject, the first and most general impression was, that the alarm was a false one. The blind and daring temerity which must have in duced such an act, as well as the apparent breach of faith which it involved, favoured such a conclusion ; but, alas ! its authenticity was too soon discovered. In all places where men of business are in the habit of meeting—in the city, at 'Westminster, at the clubs, in reading-rooms, coffee-houses, &c., the greatest bustle and excitement prevailed ; and the most various and contradic tory reports were circulated and discussed. Little groups of three, four, or half-a-dozen, with gestures sufficiently indicative of an astonishment amounting almost to incre dulity, were everywhere to be seen, listening, with ears that seemed to devour the speaker's breath, to one who read to them the article which conveyed the information. As the conviction of its truth forced itself upon them, it vas curious to witness the effect which it produced. At first it was stunning ;—it was as though a mine had sud denly been sprung at the spectator's feet ; and as the clouds of smoke, and dust which it occasioned, were slowly rAling away, all his faculties became absorbed in contem plation of the mag n itud e an d ex t en t o f the havoc, without yet bestowing a single thought on the author of the ruin, or the means of repairiir , it. Not an individual of any party appeared to have been prepared for such an event, or to have dreamt of it as possible, though it was after.wdrds : stated in monied circles that arrangements had evidently been made with certain - parties to avoid any great depres sion of the funds, even at the risk of an extensive pecuniary sacrifice. When the reign of incredulity, astonishment, and con templation had terminated, then, and not till then, burst out the spirit and excitement of party. The High Church, close-corporation-loving Tories were to be seen everywhere sllaking one another by the hands, arid congratulating themselves in no very measured terms of triumph that the domination of liberal principles was at an end. "No more interference with the Church !" exclaimed they. "No more attacks upon our corporations "No more free trade !" " Oh, our glorious, our venerable institutions 1" " Oh, our vested interests !—they are saved—they are saved ! Wellington Yes, yes ; he'll manage them. Whigism will never rise again. Brave King! Most ex cellent Queen! Glorious Wellington !" And the hoary heads of the old twaddlers shook, and their fat sides quaked, as they chuckled again and again over the dis comfiture of the Whip, or concluded with a parting sneer at the poor and ruined Radicals. Such, however, was not the case with the more mode rate and thinking Tories. They expressed many doubts of the prudence of the measure, or of the possibility of any party professing Tory principles maintaining power for one day after the meeting of a reformed House of Commons. Could a Tory Government, consistently with its principles, sat at rest the tithe question in Ireland ? • Could it satis factorily reform the English Church, or the corporations of the empire ? Yet without doing these things, all hope of retaining possession of the helm of State was admittedly out of the question. And if the Tories did consent thus to sacrifice their principles, and adopt those of the very Ministry which they had caused to be dismissed, would such a base desertion of nrinciple for motives so obviously selfish and degrading be calculated to inspire that confi dence in their professions, without which they could not hope to gull the constituencies into supporting them in the event of a dissolution ? But it was again urged that the Duke of Wellington was a man not likely to undertake any thing which he did not see the means of carrying through ; and that probably, by a junction with the Duke of Richmond, Lord Stanley, and Sir James Graham, a coalition Ministry might be formed, which, when the in fluence possessed by the landlords, in consequence of the. Marquess of Chandos's clause, and the precautions of the Tories in registering their votes, were taken into considera tion, might be probably able to stand, in spite of the outcry which would be raised against it. With an extreme but small party of Radicals, the feeling entertained was that of exultation at the downfal of the Whigs ; and with some, strange to say, an opinion that the Duke of Wellington, if he were Premier, would set up a reforming Administration. As to the Tories coming in and carrying on a Government on the old Toq principles, they scouted the idea as an absurdity. With the infinitely large majority of Reformers, the feel ing was very different ; and yet still different from that which we remember to have been exhibited on a similar occasion during the Reform struggle. Then indignation flashed in the eye of every man, and his hand clenched with the impulse of immediate ac tion. But now, although there is indignation—although there is concern—although there is excitement, yet there is, on the other hand, a calmness which never existed before— the calmness of power—the calmness arising froth the most perfect conviction that the people will never tolerate a Tory Ministry, and that the moral force which could overcome the terrific difficulties that beset the passing of the Reform Bill, could not fail to overcome any less formidable diffical ties which might present themselves in the way of accom plishing its results. Although they blame the Whigs strongly for neglecting the support of the people, and for their fruitless efforts to conciliate political enemies who never could be conciliated, yet they generally pro fessed great confidence in most of the Members of the existing Administration, and an opinion that an Ad ministration consisting of such members, and of the Earl of Durham, with two or three more well-tried uncompromising reformers, would be one calculated to insure the support of the people, to heal up the dissentions which at present exist, and to unite the whole of the popular influence in its favour. Not a word of compromise with the Tory faction was heard for a moment. No offers of repeal or modifica tion of taxei would for an instant induce them to trust the working of reform to the avowed enemies of all reform ; and it was confidently predicted that the ultimate effect of this new appeal to the people must be an advance in popu lar liberty. We heard no indulgence in personalities —no abuse of either King, Queen, Tories, or Bishops ; but the expression of strong and determined feeling that some mea sures must be adopted with reference to the Bishops and the Peers, to prevent them in future from taking every op portunity of clogging the wheel of useful legislation. We augur confidently that, with such a feeling as exists amongst the middle classes, the tradesmen and householders of the metropolis, it will he utterly impossible for any anti-liberal Ministry long to hold the reins of power. Public expecta tion appears to be mainly fixed on the events which Mon day is expected to produce ; and until then any very de cided proceedings will probably be suspended. A very active correspondence has, however, been carried on during the whole of this afternoon and evening between reformers in all parts of the town. Two or three public meetings were held in the city ; and the general opinion in well informed quarters is, that the city and all the metropolitan constituencies may be fully depended upon. There has been a great deal of talk as to the propriety of reviving the Unions, and a meeting of well-known and influential re formers has been appointed for to-morrow. SUNDAY NIGHT. The excitement, instead of subsiding, appears to be in creasing. In every parish, east, west, north, and south. we hear the note of preparation. In Bethnall-green, and many other districts, requisitions for convening public meet ings, are in course of signature. In the CitSr, arrangements for a meeting of the liberal members of the Court of Com mon Council to-morrow have been made. When the poli tics of the present Lord Mayor are considered, in conjunc tion with the ominous toast that was proposed at his din ner, it shows no small foresight on the part of the Livery. that they should have obtained from him a pledge to sum mon a Court when required. Every proceeding of the Common Council will carry the more weight, as they can insist on the King listening to it with his own ears, how ever unpalatable it may be to his prepossessions and pre judices. The most important demonstration of the day is, however, the meeting at the Crown and Anchor—a report of which we have taken some pains to obtain, and which we here subjoin. IMPORTANT MEETING ON SUNDAY. At two o'clock yg,sterday afternoon, a private meeting of a number of the principal members of the Council of the late National Political Union (Which has enrolled in its books upwards of 50,000 members), many active members of the Common Council, and other eminent Reformers from the various districts of the metropolis, was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to consider of the steps necessary to ha taken in the present alarming crisis of public affairs; The meeting, which was called in great haste, and only at a late hour on the previous night, was very numerously and Most respectably attended. Amongst those whom we re cognized were Mr. C. Buller, M.P., Mr. A. Buller, Mr. L. Murray, Mr. R. Taylor, the Rev. W. J. Fex, Mr. Gal loway, Mr. Patten, Mr. Fox Smith, Mr. D. Wakefield, Mr. R. Franks, Mr. Williams, Mr. G. Lewis (of Birming ham), Mr. Effingham Wilson, Mr. Cumming, Sir D. - goose, Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Ranford, Mr. W. D. Saull, Mr. J. Taylor, . Mr. S. Harrison, and many others whose names were perfectly familiar to the public during the great struggle for the Reform Bill. The greatest anxiety appeared to prevail in the meeting as to the course which events were likely to take, together with one unanimous determination not to yield to the slightest compromise with the Tories ; to do nothing pre maturely, yet not to suffer any opportunity of strengthen ing the popular cause to escape, in order to be prepared for every shape which the approaching exigency might possibly assume. CHARLES BULLER, Esq., M.P., was called to the Chair. Mr. POWELL was requested to officiate as Hon. sec., pro tem. The CHAIRMAN introduced the business of the meeting, and said that it gave him great pleasure on the very first occasion which called for the exertion of their energies to meet with so many active members of the National Politi cal Union, surrounded by so many other well-known re formers evincing the same zeal for popular liberty, and the same determination to support the rights of the people against every attempt at aggression, which distinguished them during the great struggle to obtain the Reform Bill. It was a high and gratifying proof of the state of public feeling in the metropolis, to find that they, in whom so large a confidence had been placed, by whose efforts the Reform Bill had been mainly won, were equally determined that the accomplishment of the legitimate consequences of that measure should neither be prevented nor delayed.—(Hear.) He was aware that they, in common with the large body of reformers, had felt much discontent with the Whig Mi nistry for not going far enough, speedily enough, nor boldly enough, in asserting those principles which the people of England almost unanimously entertained.—(Hear.) He had, however, felt, from the course events had for some time past been taking, that the necessity of adopting and acting on liberal principles, had more and more forced itself on those who were but so recently at the head of affairs ; and every modification which that Cabinet had received had given more and more promise to the people of the pro gress of those principles, by the success of which they could alone effect a safe, a permanent, and an effectual re form.—(Hear.) There could be no doubt that the late event had blighted the hopes which the people had so rea sonabl) entertained. There could be no doubt that it was s hecause Lord Melbourne's -Ministry had held out expecta tions of a progressive practical reform, and because his sin cerity was believed, that those intrigues which had termi nated in his dismissal, and that of his colleagues, had been begun and carried on.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever faults the reformers had reason to find with Lord Melbourne's Ad ministration, they might depend upon it, it was not for those faults that he was displaced. His successors would commit those faults to a much greater degree, and deprive us even of any hope, however distant, or however unde fined.—(Hear.) The course which the friends of good government should pursue, appeared to him to be clear. They should at once come forward and express their deter mination not to admit of any delay, er retrograde move ment.—(Cheers.) They should shew that the people who withheld from the late Ministry much of that force which any Ministry may derive from popular support, because they went neither far enough nor quick enough, would have courage and consistency enough to throw insurmountable obstacles in the way of any Minister who should come in with the determination of overturning any part of the good effected by the late Ministry, or of maintaining any of those abuses which it was their avowed intention eventually, though timidly, to abolish.—(Hear, bear.) Nothing but the assumption of an attitude of watchfulness and determi nation could intimidate the common enemy ; nothing but vigorous and united exertions could vanquish him, if he ventured to meet them in the field. But the present spontaneous meeting was a proof that neither watchfulness nor exertions would be wanting. At present, whilst no thing certain was known, it was probably more prudent to take no step beyond that of extensive combination, though the event of another day or two might perhaps demand all their energy. Having thus hastily laid his views before the meeting, he should conclude by expressing a request that those vela-, had been mainly instrumental in calling it toge ther, would state their views and objects in so doing. The SECRETARY Said, in reply to the Chairman's request —he would briefly state that the meeting had been called to supporrno particular party, nor to further specific ob ject. It was summoned, after taking the advice of several eminent reformers, solely with the view that those who were known to represent the public feeling in the metropolis might have an opportunity of conferring together as to the most advisable course to pursue in this unexpected crisis ; and that by uniting together in the pursuit of one common object, they might give to their exertions that efficiency which was the invariable result of harmonious deliberation and united energy.—(Hear.) They knew well that the least appearance of indifference would be easily seized hold of by the enemies of social improvement, and that every endeavour would be made to spread dissentions amongst the reformers, and divide their forces. Under these cir cumstancesit became necessary to establish, as soon as pos sible, a point d'appui, and to announce to their political enemies, the Tories, that however reformers might be di vided amongst themselves, against them they would ever continue united.—(Hear.) These were the circumstances under which the present meeting was called. Notices were not given till a late hour yesterday evening, and he thought an attendance so unexpectedly large sufficiently exonerated those who had taken upon themselves that responsibility, and proved that the urgency which demanded it had not beea overrated.—(Hear.) Mr. W. D. SAULL agreed in the propriety of callin g th meeting, which ought, in his opinion, to assume, at least during the present necessity, a permanent character.— (Hear.) It was high time for the people to convince the insane men who had made this attempt, that they would not be trifled with—that they would not permit reform to be delayed—that they would not suffer the fruits of their dear-bought victory to be snatched from their very grasp. —(Hear.) That such was the motive which led to the dismissal of the late Ministry was too clear to admit of a moment's argument.—(Hear.) Mr. GALLOWAY recommended, in strong terms, that all minor differences of opinion should be set aside, and that the most perfect unity of purpose and action should be ob served. There was no man present who could not readily name many more who would be most anxious to join them in their endeavours ; and there were none who were not able to exercise a very powerful and just influence in the different districts and constituencies with which they were connected. It was the intention of the members of the Common Council (several of whom were present) to have a meeting early to-morrow ; and from them he knew they would meet the most cordial co-operation—(Cheers.) He was quite satisfied that not only this meeting, but the pub lic at large, would set their faces entirely against the rein statement in power of the Duke of Wellington, or any of his myrmidons.—(Hear, hear.) He was perfectly satisfied that the hatred of the Duke to the cause of practical li berty was so steady, that the people could expect nothing from him but mischief. Whatever improvement in cha racter be might profess, he had committed too many sins against the people to admit of their placing the slightest confidence in him.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite satisfied that the late Administration had not been fairly treated since the resignation of Lord Grey. New blood had been introduced into it ; and the public were disposed to place a larger degree of confidence in it, as altered and recom posed, than before.—(Hear.) This Ministry was dismis sed, not for what they had not done, but for proposing to do a great deal more than the enemies of liberty in this country could quietly tolerate. The Administration was at least a reforming one ; and if not positively iden tified with, at least usually acted, as far as it went, with the people. Had Lord Melbourne's Administration been permitted to meet the Parliament, it was well known that several most useful and important measures which it had in preparation, would have been produced by him. The people—and the people alone—must decide the question. Their manifestation would be a calm—a temperate, but a powerful and decided one ; a manifestation such as would become a reasoning people ;—a manifestation whielLwould teach those who intrigued against them, that any attempt on the part of the King to force on the people of England an unpopular and unrefbrming Ministry, could never fail to meet with that effectual resistance which such an attempt deserved at their hands. For his own part, he was willing to devote his individual exertions to the support of any course of action which should be thought best calculated to secure their united object.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. TAYLOR was exceedingly glad this meeting was called together, and deemed it highly advisable that it should take upon itself a recognised character. It was desirable at such a juncture that the most known and ex perienced friends of reform should assemble together as a medium of communication between the different consti tuencies, in order that they might act together with an unity of feeling and design.—(Hear, hear.) He was glad to observe that some gentlemen from the country were also present, who would be of the greatest assistance in inducing a co-operation in the provinces. It might be highly im portant in the conrse of a day or two, if events which they feared should occur, to assemble the various constituencies of the metropolis and country, and to proclaim with a voice that could not be mistaken that the people would never desert the banner of reform.—( Hear, hear.) When re form met with a check, then it was time for the people to make an advance. One great obstruction to all reform was the Honse of Lords—(Hear, hear), and no opportunity could be more favourable than the present for the people of England to demand a radical reform of that House.— (Cheers.) The Rev. W. J. Fox expressed his great delight at the symptoms of unity of feeling which had been exhibited. The main duty which at present devolved on them was that of watchfulness, and preparation for any ulterior measures which might become necessary.—(Hear, hear.) He thought, however, the public should be apprised of their existence. It was right it should be known that they were on the alert ; that they constituted, as it were, a Committee of watchfulness, ready at any moment to take any step that might be necessary—ready, the instant the emergency arose again, to call into existence the political unions —(Loud cheers)—Those unions which had already achieved so splendid a victory, and whose moral force was sufficient to conquer every difficulty that could rise up against them. (Cheers.) Mr. D. WAKEFIELD'S views on the propriety of making their existence public were in perfect accordance with those of Mr. Fox. He saw no difficulty in forming a very influ ential and very useful body. He approved much of the idea of calling into existence a committee of watchfulness— a watchfulness which would show those blinded men who sought to take the direction of public affairs, that any attempt to hoodwink the people of England, or roll back the tide of intelligence and freedom, would indeed be a vain and bootless task. Mr. L. MURRAY viewed the present crisis with intense anxiety, and agreed with the preceding speakers on the im perative necessity of forming a committee, with power to add to their numbers. Although no one could state posi tively whether the late Premier resigned or was dismissed, yet no one had any doubt that he was dismissed, and that not only unexpectedly, but ungraciously.--(Hear.) Mr. G. LEWIS (of Birmingham) expressed his pleasure at the course which had been pursued. He could answer that the provinces, would strongly reciprocate that feeling which had exhibited itself in the metropolis ; and that the formation of the proposed committee would inspire t a strong feeling of confidence from provincial, towards thejnetropo litan, reformers.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said they could not seek to produce any definite result till they know the proceedings of their ene mies. What was now required was a distinct declaration of vigilance and unanimity. The Tories founded their hopes on the disunion of the Reformers. It was a great point, therefore, to show them that they were, and would be op posed by precisely the same men who opposed them so suc cessfully on the question of the Reform Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed, the propriety of reviving the National Political Union, which could be accomplished in full efficiency in a a very few days, would, in his opinion, shortly become a matter of very important consideration.--(Hear.) Mr. Fox SMITH hoped the people would distinctly un derstand that those papers which asserted the possibility of the Duke of Wellington becoming a Reformer, were the most dangerous of all their enemies.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GALLOWAY repeated that, in his opinion, the late Ministry had been most unfairly treated. The moral force of the people of England depended not so much upon their feelings as upon their exhibitions of them. Had ten days after the event of yesterday been suffered to pass off quietly, the Tories would have obtained a hold which it might have cost months to deprive them of. After some further discussion, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : _ " That the removal of the late Ministry appears to indi cate a determination to put a stop to the progress of all fur ther reform ; we, therefore, do hereby form ourselves into a permanent committee, to watch the course of events, and promote such measures as may become requisite' to secure the rights of the people, and advance the cause of good go vernment " An adjournment till this evening at eight o'clock, was agreed to. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. MEETING OF ST. MATTHEW, BETHNAL-GREEN. We, the undersigned, being inhabitants of the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, in the county of Middlesex, do hereby request the churchwarden, constable, or other proper authorities of the said parish, to call immediately a public meeting of the inhabitants of the said parish, to be held in the vestry room, or other convenient place, to con sider, at the present most important crisis of public affairs, the propriety of determining on a declaration of political principles, asserting the rights and liberties of the people to the fullest extent. And also to address his Majesty the King upon the necessity of forming such an Administration as will be likely to conduct the affairs of the country with the strictest regard to economy at home, peace abroad, the extirpation of every abuse in Church and State, and the ex tension of the national liberties. The above requisition is in active course of signature, and a meeting will be held at the earliest possible period. The excitement of the public mind in the eastern part of the me tropolis is extreme, and the people seem determined to meet the present crisis of public affairs with the greatest energy and boldness. The watchword every where is "To your tents, 0 Israel !" At a later period of the evening a rumour has gradually been spreading itself abroad that the Duke of Wellington has accepted the Premiership, and surrounded himself with purely Tory colleagues. People can, however, scarcely make up their minds to credit such a proof of insanity. Let him beware ; for the storm is rising, which he will find it difficult to lay. To THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Brighton, Sunday, Nov. 16. Stn—The Duke of Wellington has left the Palace for London. It is understood that the Court party are in high spirits. They assert " that all is going right ;" by which I conclude that, for the people of England, all is going wrong. I arm unwilling to state all I hear, lest I should misguide you ; but it is quite clear, from the secret exultation of certain individuals, that they have suc ceeded to their hearts' content. They hope to " neu tralise the Reform Bill," and " preserve the Church ;" by which you will understand that they intend the conti nuation of Church abuses. In a well-informed quarter I hear that the overthrow of the Whig Ministry has been determined on for some time past. And the people here ask, Who has managed it ? " Who is the traitress?" There are some who do not think that the Queen has meddled much in the affair ; another lady is mentioned as having been very busy ; whilst others assert that the second lady would not, and could not have done much harm, if she had not been countenanced by a superior. The name of Syd ney has long been celebrated in the annals of this country as tho champion of popular rights : we trust this will not be reversed by the misconduct of one bearing the same name. It will be painful to liberal minds to perceive that name held in contempt, as the back-stairs channel of misleading a Monarch whose name and glory have been identified up to this time with the Reform Act of 1832. It is rumoured here now that the Earl of Munster will be appointed to the Government of India. Is this the price of Tory installation ? The great Captain is indeed a bold man, if it is so. We shall see what we shall see ! ! Will not the people of England be likely to feel that their bounty has been sufficiently lavished on these insignificant personages without being insulted by their meddling and busying themselves to oppose and subvert constitutional rights ? I am sure you will be on the watch, and I shall be attentive to give you all the information I can obtain here. OBSERVER. THE ARMY. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.) Major-General Sir John Buchan, K. C. 8., made the half yearly inspection of the 14th Light Dragoons, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Townsend, at Longford, on Saturday last. The 52d Light Infantry furnish the following detachments from head-quarters, Enniskillen, viz.:—To Ballyshannon, under Captain Hughes ; Cavan, Captains Hill and French ; Omagh, Captain Swan; Lifford, Lieut. Murray. The officers commanding the 3d Dragoon Guards, 15th Hussars, 27th, 46th, 81st, and 82d regiments, attended on Wednesday last in the Board-room at Dublin, on subjects re lating to the Hibernian Military School. The remains of Colonel Kettlewell, late Royal Irish Artil lery, were interred with military honours at Clonmel, last Sa turday, by Major Ormond and the depot companies of the 30th regiment, a troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards, and a company of the Royal Artillery. Lieut.-Colonel Wallace has been appointed to the command of the Royal Artillery at Malta, in the room of Lieut.-Colonel Gamble. It is reported that the Salts Greys are to be metamorphosed into a Cuirassier regiment ; and rumour also includes the Innis killing Dragoons in this novel arrangement. Major Ilammill, with the Grenadier Company of. the 18th Royal Irish, marched hence on Monday, to occupy till further orders a temporary billet station at Adare, in this district. Lieut. Haly expects to succeed, by purchase, to the com pany in the 18th regiment, becoming vacant on the retirement of Captain . Sir W. Lynar. The depot companies 36th regiment, in this garrison, wore laurels on Monday, the anniversary of the battle of Nivelle in 1813. The British army, under Lord Wellington, took over 50 pieces of Ordnance, and 1,500 prisoners in this action. The 36th regiment had six officers wounded in the conflict. Lieut. Home and a reinforcement for the depot of the 36th, in this garrison, will embark in the next draft for the West Indies. On Saturday last, the 29th depot, commanded by Major Walter, arrived in Fermoy from Kinsale, and on Monday, one company under command of Captain Hatton, was detached to Mitchelstown. On Thursday last Major-General Sir Edward Blakeney made his half-yearly inspection of the 82st regiment, Dublin, and expressed to Lieut.-Colonel Maclean his perfect approba tion of their discipline, appearan ce , an d i nterna l economy . The 28th regiment were inspected in full marching order at their new quarters, Chatham, on Thursday, by Sir Leonard Greenwell, Commandant of the garrison. A son of the Marquis of Ormonde has entered the army as Ensign in the 85th, or King's Light Infantry. FRANCESCA CARRARA.—We are requested to state that this new Romance, from the pen of L. E. L., author of " The Improvisatorice," the " Venetian Bracelet," " Ro mance and Reality," &c., will be published to-morrow by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street. OYSTER EATING.---A disgusting exhibition took place on Saturday last, at the King's Head Inn, Bradford, of two men trying who could eat the greatest number of oysters for a wager of 55., the loser to pay for the fish. The winner demolished no less than 220, and the unsuccessful party gave in at 60. The name of the winner was Samuel Binns, farmer, of Shuttleworth Hall, near Bradford. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. So little were people prepared for the startling intel ligence which on Saturday morning we gave almost exclusively (for the brief notice in- the Times was neither positive nor satisfactory), that for some time no one would believe it. The attempt to govern by a Tory Ministry seemed altogether so visionary and wild that no one could suppose it would be seriously made; and then the dismissal of the Whigs in so off-hand a manner served to make the whole thing appear still more incomprehensible. But the Reformers, though startled, were far from being dismayed, while the mere sensible Tories again appeared anxious and apprehen sive. We can state positively that some of the leading Tories in the city did not hesitate to say that the time was not arrived when the experiment of a Tory Ministry could be tried with the least chance of success, and that no good could come of it. Strange as it may appear, a Tory Administration will forthwith appear upon the stage. The Whigs deliver up the seals of office this day, and their suc cessors will be immediately installed. Some of the arrangements will probably be provisional till the return of Sir Robert Peel, who is now at Florence, and to whom an express was immediately sent. The Duke of Wellington having been entrusted with the formation of the Ministry, is, of course, First Lord of the Treasury ; and it is understood that Lord El lenborough is Foreign Secretary. Sir C. Manners Sutton is to be Home Secretary. Sir George Murray is to have the Colonies. What has been offered to Sir Robert Peel, has not transpired. It is possible he may be Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Aber deen is personally disagreeable to Louis Philippe, and does not therefore occupy his former place of Foreign Secretary. He may possibly be President of the Council, or fill some such office. It may be taken for granted that Lord Lyndhurst will be Chancellor; and we understand that when congratulated yesterday on his regaining the Seals he appeared much elated. The Duke of 'Wellington has, it is supposed, been for some time in readiness for the summons, and dined on Saturday with the King. The dinner -was a military one, the guests being nearly all officers ; a circumstance which we fear may be typical of the character of the new Administra tion. The Duke arrived in town yesterday. There can be little doubt that the Court party have for months been at work, and the toasts at the Lord Mayor's dinner were evidently the result of an under standing with the Tories. The toast of " Church and King," and " The Duke of Richmond and the Peers," are now explained. The object of g i v i ng t h ese toasts was to produce an impression in a certain quarter, that the reaction was no longer questionable, as even at the table of the Chief Magistrate of the City of London Tory sentiments were favourably received. The ques tion at Court was merely, When may we venture to turn out the Whigs ? and as, according to the homely saying, any stick will serve to beat a dog, the death of Earl Spencer furnished the pretext. From the moment the determination had been taken by Ministers to reform the Church of Ireland, their dismissal was certain. Our readers may be as sured, that the desire to prevent Church Reform was the real ground of the bold step which has been taken. The King was, we understand, personally courteous to Lord Melbourne ; but this does not in the least alter the character of the measure. His Lordship and colleagues have been dismissed a /a mi litaire—ordered out as abruptly as if they had been so many soldiers on guard on the arrival of the relief. Decent pretexts even were not deemed necessary. When Earl Grey resigned, his Majesty wished a Mi nistry to be formed of men of all parties ; and it is understood that Lord Melbourne then, in a letter to his Majesty, urged the ' impossibility of succeeding in an endeavour which would 'destroy the character of public men with their own party ; and it is understood that his Lordship's letter was shown to the Duke of Wellington, who admitted the force of the arguments, and to Lord, then Mr. Stanley, who wrote some comments to the same purport ; and the time not being come for a purely Tory Ministry, the King reluctantly enough consented to the continuance of the Whigs in office. It can surprise no one that, surrounded as the King is with rank Tories, with the most of his own family affected to the Whigs, with the Queen for an adviser, who, having been reared in a petty German Court, naturally hates the very name of Reform—should have yielded to Tory counsels. Here, then, we are— with a Tory Administration, and the prospects before us which such an Administration presents. A disso lution of Parliament may be expected forthwith--in a fortnight, we belie ve . S ome o f t h e T or i es h ave a l rea d y taken their measures with reference to it. Sir John Beckett, for instance, is gone to Leeds. With the the present House of Commons, the Duke of Wel lington could not exist a week. The greatest exertions will be made to influence the elec tions. All that bribery and i n ti m id at i on can effect will be tried. A desperate effort will be made to obtain a House of Commons favourable to their views ; and then they will of course attempt to modify the Reform Bill, in order that the House of Peers may retain its ascendancy. That they will fail in this attempt, we know ; but they have no other course open. They must play a bold game, in order to arrest the progress of Reform in Church and State. We need not say that we have the utmost confidence in the good conduct of all classes of Whigs and Re formers at this crisis. All differences will be laid aside for the great object of combating the common enemy. Our readers will see that a meeting has already been held in the metropolis—that the Common Council meets to-day—that parish meetings are everywhere organizing. We will beat the Tories, and convince them that no faction can withstand the determination of this great nation. The cause of Reform will only be advanced by this ill-advised attempt of the enemy. A liberal Administration will feel itself, after the Tories have been driven out, sufficiently strong to effect what the Whig Ministry could not under present circumstances attempt. Whigs, Radicals, liberal members of the Established Church, and Dissenters, must all cordially unite ; for it is only by union that we can hope to conquer our enemies. We have sufficient strength, if we only use it properly. We must not, however, de spise our enemy ; for in his desparation he will make prodigious efforts. The first thing to be attended to is instantly to call meetings throughout the country. Let tile people show themselves everywhere in force. Num bers give confidence and courage. 'We need not re peat that the Whig Ministry are all true and united—. there will be no defection, and we believe that if the Duke were to try to do without a dissolution, there would be few renegadoes from either Whigs or Radi cals. He can count only on Tories. The Tories have staked their all on the venture ; for they well know that if they fail, the reform which they so much dread will be immensely accelerated. The fight is one of life and death ; and this it is proper to bear con stantly in mind. The most essential provisions of the Reform Bill will unquestionably *. be modified, if the Tories prove successful in the elections ; but if they fail, as fail they must, the Duke will soon be driven from office, and then we should indeed be madmen if we did not prevent the possibility of a second attempt I to enslave us. We pause' for the present. England expects every man to do his duty—and the cause of the country will not be abandoned.—Morn. Chronicle. The events of the last few days are so new, so strange, so utterly unlike anything which has hitherto occurred in the history of England, that it is with no slight difficulty we approach the consideration of their probable consequences. Previous changes of Ad ministration have always been preceeded by the resig nation of the existing Ministers, either because they were pledged to some measure which the crown would not concede, as in the case of Mr. Pitt, at the termina tion of his first Administration, and of the Whigs in 1807; or because the confidence of the country had. been withdrawn from them, as in the cases of Lord Sidmouth and the Duke of Wellington ; or because the death or illness of the Premier has virtually dis solved the Government, as in the cases of Mr. Pitt. (at the end of his second Administration,) Mr. Per ceval, Lord Liverpool, and Mr. Canning. That a Ministry ill the full possession of the confidence of the country, pursuing a course which has never been disap proved by the Crown, and th ere f ore must b e presumed to have its sanction, should have been dismissed within five months after its appointment, without any shadow of
