Mr. DAWSON, after a few observations, proposed " That an humble address be presented to the King,-praying- his Majesty n•t to retain the Duke of Wellington as Minister, and entreating him to call to his councils those only who, by endeavouring to effect the reforms in Church and State adverted to in the preceding resolutions, will best secure the strength and stability of the throne, and promote the prosperity and peace of the people." Mr. DANIEL seconded the resolution. Agreed to. Mr. JUGGINS proposed an address to the King, of which the following is a copy : " May it please your Majesty : We have viewed with regret and alarm the calling of the Duke of Wellington to your Ma jesty's councils, whose repeated declarations against all reforms, and whose persevering and factious opposition to every useful measure, render it utterly hopeless that any permanent good can flow from any Administration of which he may form a part. " We beg to express to your Majesty our deliberate opinion, that an efficient reform in the Church is necessary and tea voidable, and that no Ministry will deserve the support or con fidence of the nation that will not undertake to introduce mea sures for shortening the duration of Parliaments, extending the suffrages of the people, and securing freedom of election by establishing vote by ballot. " We therefore humbly, but earnestly, pray yonr Majesty not to retain the Duke of Wellington as your Minister, and to call to your councils those only who, by endeavouring to effect the reforms in Church and State to which we have adverted, will best secure the strength and stability of the throne, and promote the peace and prosperity of the people."—Agree d to. It was ordered to be signed in and on behalf of the meet ing by the Chairman. On the motion of Mr. BURKETT, it was agreed that the address should be presented by ColoneliEvans. Mr. WALKER moved, " That the thanks of the meeting be given to the independent portion of the press, for the part it had taken in the recent changes."—(Cheering.) The motion was seconded, and agreed to. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing broke up. STATE OF PUBLIC OPINION IN THE COUNTRY. HUDDERSFIELD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—The following censure on the Times has been rea dily and numerously signed by the gentlemen of the Com mercial News-room in this town. Yours, most obediently, Huddersfield, Nov. 22. - THOS. BROOK. ( Copy.) " Huddersfield, Nov. 22. " We, the undersigned Members of the Commercial News room, being of opinion that the London Times newspaper, by its gross and uncalled-for attacks on personal character, and by its base tergiversation and desertion of principle, has become undeserving of public patronage, recommend that it be forth with discontinued at our News-room." BIRMINGHAM. On Saturday at 12 o'clock, a preliminary meeting was held at the. Committee-room of the New Town Hall in Birmingham, by some of the most influential men in the town in favour of liberal principles and reform, to take steps to form an Union Club, and unite all parties to carry out the reforms in Church and State, by securing the return Of such men-us are opposed to Tory misrule and mis government;: and on their own responsibility to get a re quisition signed to call on all electors for the town and northern division of the county of Warwick who have votes, to meet in the New ToWn Hall on Friday next, and as .a preliminary to get rid of " His Highness," or to stop all supplies at the meeting of Parliament. A very spirited requisition was agreed on to call immediately a meeting, without the delay and formality of asking the High Bailiff, who yet is believed to be friendly to us, especially as five or seven of the Town Commissioners were.with us, contenting to the use of the New Town Hall, a building which will hold more than any one in London. The requisition was to have appeared this morning in Aris's Gazetteer, but the time being so short (Sunday intervening, and one of the lists not being returned in time), the meeting is to be eon vened by placarding the town to-morrow. I have seen some of the lists, and the names are select and of the highest respectability—Churchmen, Catholics, Dissenters of all sects, including Quakers, and Whigs and Radicals, and the old Political Union, all agreeing to merge petty distinctions to secure the true principle of union, and to fraternize with the whole brotherhood of liberty and the rights of English men. No Paper is in this town in so much request as The Sun. MANCHESTER. (From the Manchester Guardian.) That in the absence of any peculiar political difficulty, of any declared cause of dissatisfaction on the part . of their royal master, or of any adverse vote of parliament, and of any intestine disagreement, a ministry so lately recon structed, should be dissolved by the mere pleasure of the king himself, is a circumstance without parallel, so far as we remember, in the recent history of this country. With respect to the feelings with which the intelligence of the change was received in this town—so wholly un-looked-for was it—that astonishment, amounting almost to incredulity, was the first sensation that it created. But when the fact was ascertained to be unquestionable, it would be difficult to exaggerate the regret and the alarm that was very ge nerally expressed at the change. Nor was this feeling by any means confined to the friends and adherents of the late ministry. In the course of Sunday and Monday we con versed with. many Tories ; and from every one of them we heard professions—we believe sincere professions--of regret at the dissolution of Lord Melbourne's government, and of a conviction that the time for a Tory cabinet had not yet ar rived. Many of them, have since somewhat altered their tone, and are now become a good deal elated. It was not on political grounds alone--perhaps at first not even chiefly so, that the sentiments which originally prevailed were avowed. Commercial considerations had a great share in producing them. The business of this district was in a very flourishing state ; we had a good demand for all the leading articles of our. production. Our labouring classes were fully employed, for the most part • at good wages, and, as a mass, enjoying, in consequence of the very low price of provisions, a higher average of comfort than probably at any former period. Political excitement had very much subsided ; and people were attending assiduously and satisfactorily to their private concerns. Such a change as that which has just taken place is incompatible with the maintenance of this state of quiet. A sudden and com plete revolution in the persons of the Administration, be tokening also a decided change in the principles on which it is to be conducted, destroys all present confidence, unsettles men's feelings both with respect to foreign and domestic policy, and tends greatly to rekindle that excitement and agitation, the last embers of which we had hoped would speedily be extinguished. Commercial checks, however, are necessarily temporary ; and, it is in regard to its political consequences that the change will be most important. There are two courses which the Duke of Wellington may take. If he acts in the spirit in which he spoke and voted during the last Session of Parliament, his government will be a high Tory one. We do not believe that he will dare even to at tempt directly to abrogate any of those reforms which the late ministry have been so fortunate as to complete. But he will curtail as much as possible the range, and compress the vigour, of their action. And, unless he flies in the face of his own spontaneous declaiations during the last session of Parliament, he will oppose the municipal corporations bill ; he will resist the claims of the Dissenters even for relief from their admitted practical giievances ; he will place him self in the gap between the Church, as it at present exists, and the earnest cry for its reform ; and he will transfer the influence of this country, as for as it may be in his poWer to do so, from the support of Liberal principles of Govern ment on the Continent, to that of despotism, bigotry, and intolerance. In Ireland, and in our foreign relations, the consequences of the change will probably be more seriously felt. There are, however, it must be admitted, many who profess to think that the Duke of Wellington will again pursue the same course which be astonished and disgusted his honest Tory supporters by following in 1828 and 1829 ; that, as he then relieved the Dissenters and cmancipat:•d the Catholics, he will now become a Reformer of Corporations . and of the Church, and remove from the Dissenters the last remaining badges of legal and social inferiority. The supposition that the Duke's principles should incline him to do these things calls for no other reply than a scornful laugh ; which, perhaps, also would be the best answer to any suggestion that he is so far encumbered by principle as to prevent him from doing them. In the case of Catholic Emancipation we give him the credit of so observing the shadows which coming events cast before them, as to be seriously convinced that the ground he had ' till then taken with regard to that measure was no longer tenable. There is ope way, and one only, in which the people of Great Britain can enforce upon him a practical conviction that ether changes equally distasteful to himself can no longer be staved off. We shall presently mention it. Some of the agitating newspapers say that it is to their trimming wavering policy, to the fewness in number, and the mediocrity.in quality of the reforms they have effected or contemplated, that the Whig Cabinet virtually owes its dismissal. They allege that, in this way, the Tories have acquired a confidence, and been urged to a degree of deter mination, which they would not otherwise have exhibited. The assertion is one of staring but malignant absurdity. It is not for having done and contemplated too little that the Melbourne Administration has been cashiered. It is not to accomplish more thorough changes that the Duke of Wellington has been installed as the Cabinet. And thd itiOdOrato and constitutional reforms projected and put in progress by the Whig. Ministry ; during the list two years, have sufficed to array against therii tt mass of courtly and ecclesiastical influence, which has been fatal to their existence, there needs no hesitation in maintain-, In 7, that, by proposing more radical measures, they would only have precipitated their downfal. Wo question whe ther, if the Duke of.. Wellington were inclined to play a similar game with that which he followed in 1829, .he would now be allowed to do it. The public know how to distinguish between a departure from mere personal consis tency, under new combinations of circumstances, and a di rect flying in the face of the professions and practices of a.. whole life. They yielded to his plea of necessity in regard to the Catholic question ; but they will not admit its vali-. dity in respect to a general and fundamental change of po- Ley. His followers will not again be willing, for such a precarious tenure of office as they can at best probably at tain, to be dragged through the dirt at his bidding, and osliged to assist afterwards at that most mortifying of all repasts, the eating of their own words. A sense of Cha racter has for many years been a growing attribute of public men ; and their moral feelings could not but revolt from a complete veering round in their votes and measures, at the bidding, or for the convenience of an imperious and unseru• pulous Premier. We do not think that, in these times, the rank or the emoluments of office have, for persons of such reputations, and standing as, can possibly be thought of to fill them, any such attractions as to induce them to seek• the acquisition of power by a total abandonment of their former professions, and an adoption of those views and measures Ilia, up to the very time, they have denounced as unconstitutional and dangerous. We do not believe that, at the present moment, the Duke of Wellington is the mere puppet of some hidden power which pulls the string of Court influence, and decides who, like the alter nating figures of a weather-house, shall be out, and who in. It is as the child and champion of Toryism, as the intended conservator of the Irish Church, that he has been selected to give the coup de 'race to a liberal and reforming Ad ministration, by a dismissal as summary as if it were the sentence of a drumhead courtmartial. -There can be " no mistake ;" the Duke has been called in to do the work of the oligarchy ; and he.aintst and,svill perform ifL--that is, the people will let himl - Yes, if the people will let him— for thanks to that Ministry who gave us the Reform Act; the fate of this mighty kingdom is no longer subject to the ignoble controul of a borough faction. Under Providence, the constituent body have the destiny of the State in their own hands ; and it is for them so to act as to give practical evidence of their determination neither to be cozened- nor dragooned out of the reforms they - have been taught to ex pect. The Duke may attempt to delude them—he may offer them something ; but, whatever it be, it will be doled out by reluctant bands. The concessions will be far less• in magnitude and far different in value, which policy may urge a hostile chief governor to make, than those which. would have been freely accorded by a liberal Administra7 tion, not through apprehension but from. duty, net as sops to stay the public appetite, but on' the broadest grounds of ewediency and justice. BRISTOL. ( From the Bristol Ma cuty.) His Majesty has dismissed his liberal ministers and once more taken to his councils those . ohemies of all, good go vernment—the' Tories. The immediate cause of so rash and so unexpected a determination can only be guessed at; but we believe we shall not greatly err if we attribute it to the influence of that party in the Church, who, alarmed at the near approach of measures for the reformation of the abuses of the establishment, have feelingly represented the danger, if not the wickedness, of allowing any interference with, what they term, the religion of the State. In our own mind there exists not a shadow of doubt that it is to this selfish and intolerant faction we are indebted for a change which will involve one of the most dangerous experiments ever attempted in the government of this country. The policy of the new administration is the first thing to engage our attention, and, in reference to it, we shall at once dis card the opinion, expressed in some quarters, of the possi; bility, if not the probability, of the Duke of Wellington being found to carry out the principles of the, Reform Bill to the utmost limits to which they may with 'safety be ex tended. Specious professions of liberality, no doubt, we shall have—we are prepared to expect them—but let them not be relied on. It is utterly impossible for the Wellington administration to be anything but essentially Tory ; the hopes of the faction are built upon it—the enemies of free dom already look towards it with elated expectation—and, whatever its professions may be, it will, to the fullest ex tent of its powers, retrace the steps of improvement We confess We are anxious to prevent any mistake on this head, inasmuch as a portion of the liberal press of the metropolis, adopting the hacknied sentiment—" measures, not men,' have most unaccountably, and with some degree of confi dence, expressed the hope, that the new administration will be conducted on liberal principles. We,, at once, repudiate such an idea—we do so, as we think, on rational grounds ; and we would enforce our conviction upon every true R e - 7 former ; for, in the times that arc coming, above all things, it is desirable that a unity of sentiment as well as a.unity of purpose should prevail. The tactics of the enemy have been to divide their opponents—to concentrate their friends ; let' us henceforth show that we are superior to their arts, and, in ceestancy and resolution, superior even to themselves.. The crisis is come ! an ill-advised, not to say an ungra cious, act of his Majesty, has anticipated the period—ope fidently predicted,—and the antagonist principles of free dom and despotism are even now in direct collision. In the struggle it is impossible to see how much of misery will be inflicted on our unhappy country, but it is possible to fore see that the issue will be the signal triumph of justice. The attempt may, and we believe will be made, to crush the rising spirit of freedom, and to postpone, indefinitely, the improvement of our social condition : the attempt may, and we believe will be Made, to extend indefinitely the un just and unconstitutional privilvees of the hierarchy, and to perpetuate the bondage of a large class of his Majesty's loyal subjects—the dissenters : the attempt may, and we be 1 eve will be made, to recur to the old principles of govern ment,--:if it be not a prostitution of the word, inasmuch as the whole system was based on a want of principle—by which the people were regarded as the " means and appli ances" merely of aristocratic rapacity,—the army, the navy, the church, supported by the country, but employed less as the means of defence and instruction, than 'as mediums of administering to the cupidity of the treacherous or of sup porting the imbecile. The attempt may be made, and, all other means failing, we believe will be made, even at the risk of blood-shedding to enforce all. this ; but, what then i the people of England will stand forth in vindication of their rights, —a liberal government must again succeed, and then will follow, at a period much earlier than in the ordinary course of events could fairly have been expected, that full measure of justice which, in the spirit of the constitution, conceding equal rights, will place our fellow-country men, of all persuasions, on a footing of perfect equality. Do we, then, fear the crisis ? we answer, no : regret the .occasion of it, we most certainly do ; but with a perfect reliance on the in ' filligence of our countrymen we have no fear for the result. As a preliminary step, a dissolution of Parliament will, of course, take place. We will not libel the first reformed House of Commons, by supposing it capable of yielding a majority to the Tory Administration, nor will we hold the latter so much in contempt as to suppose it capable of at tempting so foolish a thing as that of bringing over a ma jority to its interests. Our surprise is, that such a course should be thought of. No : there will be a dissolution. The reaction no doubt in the opinion of the Duke's parti zans, has arrived at a point which will secure the . :return of a majority of conservatives ; but, of this epinion, time will show the correctness. It may be they have reckoned on the. disaffection of the ultra-liberals and the disgust of the dis senters, which, in more than one instance, we confess have operated negatively to their advantage ; but they will find that that disaffection and that disgust will merge in one common feeling of regard for the public safety. The truth of a reaction, at all events, must now be tested ; let no undue influence be exerted, and we are content-.to abide the issue. Our faith in the integrity and (rood sense of the people of England forbids a doubt of their being found wanting in duty to themselves and to their country. We believe they are firm to their principles, and it is from this conviction; and from a conviction also that firmness alone will be found sufficient to defeat the machina tions of the enemy, that we are enabled to look forward with undiminished confidence to the future. Without a majority in -the Commons,. an Administration, whether for good or for evil, is powerless ; to place a -majority in th hands of the Tories must be an act of the people's . ; and, therefore, reiterating our confidence in them, we can not come to any other conclusion than that it is utterly im possible, in the present day, for a Tory Government to f'ace a British Parliament. Firmness, then, is the one thing needful in the present exigency. Excitement, no doubt, there will be until the termination of the conflict ; but the less of it the better, lest by some chance it lead to open violence, and so furnish the government with a pre text for resorting to arbitrary measures. Already have the Tories worked upon the fears of the timid, but let it be the part of all true reformers to put to shame the recreant few who have listened to their false alarms, and at the same time to dash to the ground the hope (if any such should be entertained) of a decided reaction consequent on the impe tuosity of the party of the movement. Above all things, then, let us conjure our friends to act firmly, but tempe rately.

(From the Caledonian Mercury of Thiwsday. ) Last night a very crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Leith, called by the Lord Provost, in obedience to a nu merously signed requisition, was held in the Chapel in Storrie's Alley, to consider the propriety of addressing his, Majesty on the present state of public affairs. Provost WHITE was called to the Chair ; when he stated the circumstance which had' given rise to the meeting— namely, the dismissal of his Majestys Ministers—the dis missal of those 'Ministers who had done so much good for the country, who had granted Parliamentary Reform, who had liberated the slaves, and who had promoted the general welfare of the country—to brinc , Welling. the Duke of Wellin. • ton and his friends, who had declaredb themselves against all reform, and who would correct no abuses. Captain CARNEGIE rose to move the first resolution, and expressed his regret to hear of the proposed invasion of the rights and liberties of the people, by the reins of Govern ment being placed in the hands of such men as the Duke of. Wellington, whereby their. hopes of reform would be totally blasted, and their situfttion as freemen rendered as degrading as ever. And were the people tamely to submit to this? Never !—(Great cheering.) He respected the King as a part of the Constitution, but when his Majesty comes before a bold and loyal people, and tells them that their liberties were thus to be cut short, was that to be to lerated ? , He said never !—(Cheers.) .After some farther observations on the insult which was offered to the country by the present attempt to force the Tory yoke upon the people, the Captain concluded by readinc , his resolution, which, along with the others, will be found below. Mr. Thomas HAY seconded the resolution, in doing which he remarked that the day had arrived when the . question came to be—were they to be free, or were they to be slaves ?—(Cries of " Free," and cheers.) Was the habeas corpus act again to be suspended, or were they to enjoy the privileges of an enlightened people ?—(Cheers.) If the Duke of Wellington should come into power, an attempt would doubtless be made to smother every liberal idea—to put down every thing that was upright and honest, and again to commence the days of Tory misrule and tyranny.—(Cries of " Never, never.") There was, indeed, no calculating the consequences of such an occurrence. — (Hear, hear.) The rising liberties of France, Spain, and. Portugal, would be attempted to be crushed, and Don Miguel, Don Carlos, and Charles X. placed on the thrones of these nations. He (Mr. H.) had heard it stated, that the open meeting which was to be held on Friday first in Edinburgh would be, put down. Let them dare to put it down, or any meeting of the kind. Such days were gone by, and so long as there was a drop of Scottish blood to be found, they should never return.—(Great cheering.) „Councillor NEILSON rose to propose the second resolu tien, - and contended' that it was impossible for any Ministry not based upon the confidence of the people, to conduct the affairs of this country for any length- of time. The people. were the legitimate source of all political power. He did not mean that the people should even think of physical or coercive measures for obtaining their object, They should with one united voice appeal to the Throne and assure his Majesty that the principles of reform should be the only pedestal upon which any Ministry could be permitted to stand.—(Cheers.) He concluded by reading his resolution, which was seconded by Mr. James Miller. Councillor MITCHELL moved the third resolution, and expressed his astonishment and regret that at a time when the 'country was in perfect peace, and enjoying the most .cheering prosperity, his Majesty should have been induced by improper and undue influence to dismiss those Minis ters who had conferred upon this country those blessings. Had there been one single complaint, or a petition from any corner of the land for their dismissal, there might have been some grounds for this untoward event, but there was not so.—(Cheers.) The people, however, must unite to take steps for the prevention of such undue interference. Mr. M. referred to the measures of Parliamentary and Burgh Reform—the emancipation of the slaves—measures which were going on and working well, and asked, were the blessings flowing from these measures to be taken from the people by the sabre of the Duke of Wellington—a no bleman whom he (Mr. Mitchell) venerated as a soldier, but detested as a statesman ?—Loud cheers.) They all re collected his memorable saying IA i2:e House of Lords, that he- would sanction no Reform—and Meeting knew whether reform was required or not. Was it then fair or reasonable that after that speech the country should be in - stilted by the reins of Government being entrusted into the hands of that nobleman ?—(No, no.) It could not be still mitted to. The people must bestir themselves to protect the country--nay, to protect the throne, for these measures were very much calculated to shake even it. Mr. Mitchell concluded by expressing his indignation that the Melbourne Administration should have been dismissed without an op portunity being afforded them of showing their intentions of benefiting the eountry. Mr. LErtam seconded the resolution moved by Mr. Mitchell. After regretting the arrival of the present crisis, he proceeded to remark upon . the opposition and malignity which Lord Brougham had lately experienced, and endea voured to show the injustice ofthose attack, by referring to the brilliant career of that nobleman from the year 1809 up to the present period. He then alluded to the services of the Ministry generally, and averred that although they had not been able to do all they could have wished, yet they had done sufficient to show what they would have done if con tinued in office. He feared that the consequences of their dismissal would prove serious to Ireland ; and in reference to the.everthrow of the tithe measure of last session, and to the observation of Lord Melbourne, that after that he should hesitate to grant soldiers to assist in collecting the tithes, Mr. L. asked, whether it was not a likely supposition that the present crisis owed its origin to. the tithe measure? He concluded by cordially supporting the resolution. Mr. PERKINS said, that frequently as he had addressed public meetings, he never did it on a more momentous oc casion than on that night. The vitals of society seemed to be torn up, but it belonged to the people to put them right. One of the speakers had said he did not know the cause of the dismissal of his Majesty's Ministers. He (Mr. P.) knew the cause ; and the cause ought to 'inspire them with courage to oppose it, and teach them to act like men determined to preserve their rights. The cause was to be found in the weakness of one mind `acied upon by the villany of others.—(Great shoeing.) This was not the time to blink the truth, because if t hey allowed the attempt to take effect, he would not have an opportunity of appearing before them again to tell what the truth was, as the gagging bills might shut his mouth, and some of hii hearers might be shipped off for Botany Bay.— (Laughter and- cheers.) He (Mr. P.) wished to tell the people what they ought all to do. They ought to do as the men of Leith were then doing—tell the King, that though he had- made his choice they would not ratify it.— (Great cheering.) Mr. P. then made some very sensible "remarks upon the serious ei'ect which was produced upon the commercial community by such sudden occurrences as the one then under consldeiation, and Concluded by arguing a temperate but firm resistance to the present dangerous experiment, and hoping that the people, by their zeal and moral cou r ag e ; wou ld s h ow that th e y w e re n o t to be put down by either rank, power, wealth, or any other influence. —(Cheers.) 'Mr. R. CRAWFORD seconded the motion of Mr. Per kins, which was, as were all the others, unanimously agreed to. After thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. The following were the resolutions and address : " Ist. That this meeting having heard with the deepest re gret that his Majesty has dismissed his late Ministers, and is about to call to his Councils men who have ever been inimical to liberal opinions, and in whom the public, from their past political conduct, can have no confidence. " 2d. That this meeting are convinced that no Government Can carry on the affairs of this nation with advantage, unless it is composed of those persons whose previous conduct is an assurance of their determination to root out all abuses, and thus insure the safety of the country by the extension of libe ral measures ---and that thus' feeling, they deeply deplore that any circumstances should have arisen to deprive the nation of the valuable services of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues. " 3d. That this Meeting beg to express to Lord Melbourne and the other of his Majesty's late Ministers, their deep 'regret at their ceasin g to guide the Councils of the nation. " 4th. ::hat the following Address be presented to his Majesty, and that Earl Spencer be requested to present tho same, 2 c the earliest possible period : We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Inhabi tants of the Burgh of Leith, convened under the authority of the Chief Mie.giArate, have heard with pain and regret that your Ma jesty has thought proper, without any apparent reason, to dismiss your la'ce Ministers. As members of a commercial community, we beg . .1) assure your Majesty, that such sudden and unexpected eh awes have a very powerful effect on the best interests of the ‘:lor9Tunity ; and Om are also convinced, that never were men placed around your Throne who possessed the affections and confi dence of the country as they did. 4 6 4 It is attributed to your Majesty, that you are about to call to your Councils men who never did and never can possess, the confi dence of the great majority of your Majesty's subjects—a step which your petitioners have nu hesitation in stating to your Majesty is fraught with the most dangerous evils. To avert which, they humbly pray that your Majesty will immediately recall to your Councils your old and faithful Servants, and for which, as in duty bound, your petitioners will ever pray.' • " sth. That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman, for his conduct in the chair." DEVONPORT. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) A most important crisis is at length arrived. The Re form Ministry is dissolved—the Duke of Wellington has returned to power. The greatest anxiety prevails through out the country to learn the probable issue of changes so momentuous and so deeply affectino. the Public tranquillity. The people are everywhere alarmed ' at the prospect of, being deprived of those political benefits which they fOralY pro mised themselves from the Reform Bill. -NEWCASTLE. (From the Newcastle Chronicle.) By a reference to the . London intelligence in the last page, it will be seen that his Majesty has dismissed his Ministers most suddenly, and apparently most eagerly ; that be immediately sent for the Duke of 'Wellington, that his Grace instantly accepted the charge of forming a new Administration, and that he is now actually Prime Minister of England ! This astounding intelligence took the public completely by surprise,. and excited everywhere the most intense interest. But these were not the only feelings called into action. Deep was the indignation felt at the' success ful issue of a Court intrigue, evidently of long standir g and the prospect of again being delivered over to the ere mies of Reform, and of having all our hopes of furtherim provement thus attempted to be crushed, roused a spirit of resistance which has manifested itself in various meetings, and which must prove a source of embarrassment, if not of discomfiture, to this new and non-reforming Government. If successful now, a re-action must at no distant period take place, and dreadful will be the recoil on the advisers and abettors of this most rash of all actions. Great, and in our opinion well founded doubts, are entertained of Sir Robert Peel joining the new Ministry, STAMFORD. ( From the Stamford News.) There seems to be an unanimous feeling throughout the country against Tory rule, and accordingly we find all the large towns and metropolitan parishes convening meetings condemnatory of an anti-reform policy. The speeches, too, are every where of a Radical caste ; there is no ambiguity in the sentiments uttered; indeed, everything tends to show that we are in the midst of a great and alarming crisis. We wish to excite no unnecessary alarm ; but we are sincere in declar ing, that if the Duke of Wellington is suffered to pursue his head-strong crusade against the measures of the Reformers, a resort to physical force must inevitably be the result. We do not stand alone in these sentiments : they have been partici pated in publicly at meetings in different parts of the country; and we maintain that they are warranted by present appearances. TRURO. (From the West Briton.) An extraordinary event—one for which the public mind was wholly unprepared, but which is big with matter of in calculable moment, not only to this great country, but to Europe and the whole civilized world—has been announced since our last publication. William the Fourth—the So vereign who called Earl Grey to his counsels, and who sanctioned the Reform Bill—that same Royal Personage has suddenly and without previous intimation of.his inten tion, 'dismissed the Reforming Administration of Lord Mel bourne, and has placed the reins of governme.rit in the hands of the Duke of Wellington, the pledged opponent of all Reform ; the man who declared that in his view, the late Lcough system, with all its accompanying and'insepa rable abominations, was the most perfect specimen of legis lative wisdom the world ever saw ! !—such is the fact. The die is cast ; and cast with a haste that proves it to have been the resolve of him who staked on the throw more than we shall now stop to mention, to prevent all attempt at moving him from his purpose, by representation or re monstrance ; by an expression of the feelings which animate the great body of the people. In the great struggle on which we are entered, England expects every Reformer will do his.duty. ABERDEEN. (From the Aberdeen Herald.) The Conservatives are now coming into office under every possible disadvantage. The Whigs have not now as on former occasions, resigned, and left the King to fill up their vacant places as he might. They have been turned out—and how, and under what circumstances ? In the most unusual and uncourteous manner, without a shadow of reason, and at a time when the Ministry, having been purged of its late dissentients, held out to the country the most rational hope and expectation of bringing into operation the intent of the Reform Bill, and of reaping a large harvest of its fruits. But this was exactly the reason why the Conservatives determined to strike the blow. It was to arrest the eagle in its flight before it could seize upon its prey—to stop the progress of Reform before it could reach ,the mass of corruption which was marked for its unsparing work during next Session. The King has been made to believe that the Reform Minis ters had become unpopular on account of their " reck less schemes of innovation ;" whereas they only suffered in public opinion because they attempted conciliation to wards an implacable foe—because they did not use sufficient firmness and decision in dealing with acknowledged abuses. But what is now the remedy proposed? To put at the • -lm the. most inveterate opponents of Reform—men them seim; pledged by their former acts and words to oppose it, and e enemies! born e into office upon th e s houlders of its bitterest Ir,,e do not believe th a t th e Conservative Minis tryen will ever meet: Parliament. If the nation be true to itself, the King will, Jong before that time, be undeceived, and the Tories be driven 1. - orn the helm of the State. CORA. (From the Cork Southerg ~r , trporter.) Is it necessary to impress upon " the People," here and elsewhere, the imperative necessity which exists for; making such a demonstration, in the course of the next fortnight, as will convince tho " Sovereign" and his " Agent," that whatever may be their " benevolent and patriotic viewePf Government, the people and the people's representatives will give no support to the party who opposed the Reform Bill ; threw out in the Lords the Dissenters' Bill, and many other just mettores which had pasied the Commons ; who resisted all reforms, And above all, and beyond all, who did whatever lay in their power to entail upon Ireland a ,con tinuance of the Coercion 13:11i and all the miseries of the tithe system. If ever there was a time when an expression of public opinion was called for of damning condemnation upon that crime-laden faction, it is the present, and we call again and again upon the people of this country to join in it, with all the ardour which a recollection of what it has suffered for ages under its arch-enemy ought to inspire. Let but the people do their duty, and before a month the agency of the Duke is at an end. NORTHAMPTON. (From the Northampton Free Press.) We can scarcely call the intelligence we are about to im press upon our columns an announcement ; for it has struck through the country with the suddenness of electricity, per vading at once the crowded city, and reaching the remotest hamlet. The Reform Ministry is no more ! What ! it will be asked, have the compatriots of Grey shrunk from encoun tering- the difficulties against which they had to contend in the House of Lords? Or, content with the good they have effected in the passing of the Reform Bill, have they sought honourable retirement, leaving to others the working out that great measure by the reform of ecclesiastical and cor poration alnises ? , Oh, no. His Majesty has been most graciously pleased to dismiss them. "Yes, the King has cast slight upon those men who surrounded his throne with a degree of glory never before possessed by any predecessor of leis THE TIMES.—We have given in other portions of. our Paper copious details of the effect the dissolution of:th e Government has had on the public mind, as well as t* light it is regarded in by the conductors of the liberal por tion of The Press. Our readers will not be surprised to learn that the Times has ranged itself under the standard of the Puke of Wellington, when it is borne in mind the unceasing, and unjust as unceasing, attacks it has of late made on Lord Brougliato. But the power of the Times will pass away with its desertion of the right cause. Its sophistry may henceforth excite wonder by its subtility, and sometimes merriment by its broadnoss ; but the talisman is broken. Despite of the satire and abuse of the Times, district meetings are being held in every quarter of the metropolis, on the important crisis ; indeed so numerous are they, that we have not space to make particulas mention of them, suffice it to say, that the event has occasioned a par tial suspension of business, and it will be well if , a disturb ance of the public peace be not occasioned in the.rnanufac turing districts, where industry has just found per,manent etnployment, and the condition of the working Inau had much improved. About one o'clock on Saturday morning, toe griev e at Culduthell discovered a fire in the centre of his master's stack-yard. He immediately began to separate the stacks.by throwing down those on fire, in order to secure the remainder, but no less than twenty-three were completely burnt ere the flames could be extinguished. Each _stack was calculated. to contain abeut twenty bolls of grain, so that the loss has been very considerable. A precognition is at present going on, and there appears strong reasons for believing that the fire was the work of an incendiary. A meeting of the commiE isioners takes place to-morrow on the subject, and we hope a proper reward will be offered for the apprehension of the -incendiary. Deeds of this kind are — fortunately almost un- ItPonvu )IFre,—lncerness Courier, THEATRES, DRURY-LANE. The new opera, called the Red Mash, or the Council of Three, was repeated a fifth time at this house last night, and was received with marked approbation. There was a very full audience. The performance was exceedingly good throughout, and much enlivened by the light harmony of the music. Miss Sherrill sung with her usual grace, and was frequently ap plauded. Miss Tree pleased us most, although we think sin. rather over-acted some parts, particularly the closing of the scene where she obtains an interview with the Doge. 'We can make a large allowance for the extravagance of grief, but it must never appear forced or bombastic, if it would excite the sympathy of mere observers. The scenery is bnutiful. After the fall of the curtain, this opera was aanounce4 for perform ance on Wednesday evening, and the announcement was re . ce:ved with a grist applause. CO VENT- GARDEN. Messrs. Denvil and Vandenhoff appeared last night, in the characters of Othello and lago. Mr. Denvil's performance, although far from being finished, was yet very creditable, and gave proofs of talent which, if matured by study and practice, may enable him to maintain a very respectable position. It wa deficient in the expression of that concentrated passion which ought to mark the character, and the deficiency was not con cealed by the loud raving in ethic!: the actor too much in dulged. It must be remembered, hor"ever, that the task is full of difficulties, and that the actor who can adequately rer present the varied emotions and sufferings of the over-tempted Moor has mastered his art. Mr. Vandenhoff's lago was too tame. The familiar style in which he played it can only be ventured upon by very first-rate actors. Mrs. Sloman was seen to greater advantage in Desdemona than in most of the parts in which she has lately appeared, and the other characters were very sufficiently filled. The tragedy was very favourably received, and Mr. Denvil's performance loudly applauded. After the tra gedy, a new ballet called The Storm, or the Isle of the Genii, was produced. It is founded on La Tempi*, the last no velty of a similar description that has been brought out at the Academie Royale, in Paris, and the subject of which ap pears to have been suggested by our own Tempest. The re semblance between them is so slight, that there can be no fear of our. veneration for Shakspeare being impaired, by the use which has been made of some of the materials of one of his most fanciful and delightful creations. The bal let is, nevertheless, a very agreeable affair. It opens with the sacking of a Grecian town, and the massacre of the in habitants by a troop of Turks. A child, Lea, the future heroine of the ballet, is the sole survivor of the Greeks, and escapes the fury of the conquerors by being hidden by her dying mother. Osteron, a benevolent genius, is seen sail ing in a cloud over the city, and, compassionating the child's forlorn misery, despatches Zephire (the Ariel, if one may so call her, of the ballet) to Lea's aid. The sylph descends, and carries off the child to the Isle cf the Genii. Here she remains under the care of Osteron until she attains the age of womanhood. By this time the peaceful attractions of the island have lost their charms for her. Osteron exercises his power in vain ; the spirits of earth, sea, air, and fire spread their treasures before her, and exert all their skill to charm the ennui which devours her, without effect. Osteron discovers that her young heart languishes with desires which his spells csnuot satisfy, and as so profound a genius cannot be long at a less for expedients, he causes a shipwreck, which throws upon ti e island a young Spaniard. Fernando meets Lea ; a mutual passion ensues, and after the youth's constancy and the purity of his passion have been put to some severe trials, he is re warded with the hand of the maiden ; the vessel is restored to its pristine good order and condition, and the youthfu pair quit the island to make themselves as happy as they! can without the aid of a conjuror. The ballet has been got up with considerable taste. The scenery is remarkably pretty. The conflagration of the city, the enchanted gar dens by moonlight, the palace of the fairy Alcina, who endea vours by her blandishments to shake the constancy of Fer nando's love, and the last scene, representing a submarine grotto, with the depths of the ocean seen in the distance, were very fanciful and effective. The dances are extremely well arranged. Madame Proche Giubilei was the Lea, Mademoiselle Keppler the Zephire, Mademoiselle Bougoin the Alcina, and Miss Bailin (we believe, although her name does not appear in the bills) a sort of chief sylph, and each of them danced with remarkable skill and grace. Mr. Gilbert played Fernando, and was deservedly applauded. The dresses were magnificent, and the whole affair went off well, and to the satisfaction of a crouded audience. STRAND THEATRE. This compact little " Theatre des Gaietes" was opened last night, in spite of the prohibition of our courtly arbiter dc gantiarum, the Lord Chamberlain, and contrary to the dictum of thos,e stern custodes morum, the Middlesex Magistrates. Dux fceviina facti. That very clever vocalist and actress, Mrs. Waylett, who is now at the head of the establishment, has concerted a plan by which scenic performances may be given here without let or hindrance. No money is taken for admission ; but on purchasing at. certain places, which are indicated, a box or pit ticket to the Victoria Theatre, you are presented with an order for the Strand Theatre, (gratis). The public were not tardy in availing themselves of this stratagem last night. The house was extremely well filled, and the audience were mightily pleased with the enter tainments, which were of a light, pleasant, mirth-inspiring quality, and were, moreover, supported with no small degree of ability. Mrs. Waylett has, indeed, collected an excellent company. To say nothing of her own acknowledged talent, we have Williams, who is an able representative of crabbed old men ; Mitchell, an extremely knowing fellow, in broad low comedy ; Oxberry, exceedingly amusing in simple tons ; and Forester, who as a light, genteel comedian, is ra t,idly rising in public favour. These, with sundry adjuncts of less importance, are perfectly capable of giving full effect to the slight bustling pieces with which the fair manager means to resale the public. Four very pleasant trifles were last night represented. The last of them, a burletta in two acts, entitled Figaro in London, is new. The writer has transplanted the intrigue-loving Figaro from Seville to London, and with the aid of " light points, antitheses, and puns," has concocted a lively half-hour's entertainment. In the course of the burletta several allusions, some of them neat enough, others rather clumsy, were made to the recent changes in the Administra tion. They were received with mixed applause and hisses. Mrs. Waylett was throughout the evening most graciously re ceived, and every point that seemed to bear encouragingly upon her novel situation was loudly cheered. EXECUTION OF THE CHESTER MURDERERS. (THIS DAY.) This morning, at nine o'clock, the extreme sentence of the law was carried into effect upon James Garside, aged 34, and Joseph Moseley, aged 40, who were convicted at the late as size for the county and city of Chester on the 3d of August last, of the wilful murder of Mr. Ashton. The singular facts connected with the extension of the forfeited lives of those horrid miscreants has so long been before the public in a va riety of forms, that it is only necessary to state that the cause originated in a dispute between the Sheriffs of two jurisdic tions, as to who should carry the sentence into effect, and which ; d e l. hereafter become a matter of lewd disassion. When G itcs kle was informed on Sunday that all his hopes were futile, he sans; into a sullen state of despondency, but he appeared to regard to the ags.vice of his spiritual visitors, and de pay little termined to think as little as possible of a future state—indeed, we were i n fi n ,:ned by the principal tipstaff, that for a time he seame d „ treme . , y callous. Yesterday the wretched men were attended by the.' ,Chaplain, Mr. Baker,. and other pious gentlemen,. when th.'y were urged to confess their guilt, which was the only atonement they could make for having broken the awes. Upon this point, although at times an ill feeling apirese'ed to exist between there, they were both cautiously silent Last night, at 12 o'clock, the culprits were removed from the King's Bench prison to Horse monger-lane gaol, in the custody ee" Mr. Hester, the Tipstaff of the Court of King's Bench, hie- Ward, the Marshal's Tipstaff, Mr. Colwell, the senior Turra. - ey, and other officers, some of whom remained in the prison all right. Upon being placed in his last cell Garside wept, anti assumed a more serious air than he had ever manifested. '.At art early hour this morning the unhappy men were visited by the Rev. Mr. Mann, the Chaplain of the county gaol, and Messes. Walfourd and Harrison, the Chaplains of the King's Bench prison. As the hour of death approached Garside declared that the confessional statement he had made, implicating the two Moseley's in the principal part of the foul transaction wee false, and thus showed that the verdict of the Jury was correct. Moseley to the last declared that he was in nocent, but yet he seemed to speak with a mental reservation. At a quarter to nine the tipstaffs and sheriff of Surrey pro ceeded to the chapel yard, where the men were disencumber eel of their irons, and had their arms and wrists pinioned in the usual way. They were then taken through the avenues to , - the foot of the lodge in front of the prison, which they as cended with a firm step. Immediately they got upon the plat form, Calcroft, the Newgate executioner. adjusted both the ropes, and with surprising celerity withdrew the bolt in the I space of three minutes. The malefactors never spoke after they appeared in public, excepting to the constable who appre hended Them, with whom they snook hands. Notwithstand ing the coldness of the morning, the crowd began to collect cei early as six o'clock. After the bodies were suspended the *lntel time they were cut down, in orde: to be interred in the precincts of the prison. PUBLIC FEELING.—REFUSAL TO DRINK TUB lIF.ALTH OF THE KING AND QUEEN.—Last evening the Bakers' Company dined at their Hall, in Harp-lane, Tower-street. 300 persons sat down to dinner. After the cloth VMS cleared, Non Nobis Domine was sung by the professional gentlemen, Pynt, Medhurst, and Tyrell, at the conclusion of which Mr. Larkin:, the Chairman, proposed the health of the King. The proposition was received with the most tremendous hissing and hooting. Mr Larkins endeavoured to enforce the toast, but ho was met by cries of " No, no," and groans from three fourth‘ of the assembly. The chairman in vain tried to restore order, Ind after a scene of great uproar the toast was with drawn amidst loud applause. The Queen was then given from the chair, but the meeting received the proposition in the same Manner, and they were almost unanimous in rejecting it. The professional gentlemen then commenced the national an thent of " God save the King," but the company refused to listen to it, with marks of the most decided disapprobation at its being commenced, after the feeling they had evinced. Ti.:. singers were compelled to desist, and "le Britannia" w..s substituted, which was well received. Mr. Peacock, the Com mon Councilman, soon afterwards proposed the health of tbu chairman, who returned thanks in a neat speech, and the con viviality of the company then remained undisturbed till a late hour.--Morning Advertiser.
