new military Dictator, show stronger than words the disgust which the recent Ministerial changes have excited in this town and neighbourhood. The meeting has been declared to be the largest assembly ever held in Clayton-square. It has been so pronounced by those best capable of judging — men who have attended all the public meetings held hero during the last thirty years. The number of persons could not be less than 15,000, though some asserted that there were 20,000 present. All classes of Reformers united on this great occasion. Radicals and Whigs, acting on the excellent advice of Lord Durham, forgot their temporary differences, and determined to oppose the common enemy. Lord Viscount Molyneux made an admirable chairman,. 'and his announcement that he was a " radical reformer,' and would from this time forward continue so, was received with deafening acclamations. The reception also which our excellent representative William Ewart, Esq., expe rienced, was most enthusiastic. Before the proceeding' terminated, a vote of thanks to Lord Durham was unanimously agreed to, and three hearty cheers were also given for that distinguished and patriotiP nobleman, in which the immense multitude joined ",;:th the greatest good-will. Among the many other highl.; respectable individuals present, we noticed WilliP2n Ewart, Esq., M.P., John Ewart, Esq., Colonel Williams, M.P., S. Hope, Esq., J. B. Yates, Esq., .W. Currie, Esq., L. Heyworth, Esq., W. P. Elhvner, Esq., Dr. Carson, Dr. Collins, W. P. Freme, 'Esq., T. Rashhone, Esq., J. D. Thornley, Esq.. F. Jordan, Esq., T. Jevons, Esq., W. Earl, Esq., W, Wyberg, Esq., John Crapper, Esq., 0. Wood, Esq., 11. Earl, Esq. T. Ryley, Esq., T. B. Barclay, Esq., J. Aiken. Esq., W. Tayleure, Esq., R. Preston, Esq., T. Rodick, Esq., T. Harvey, Esq., and many other leading and influ. ential men on the liberal side, who have been long accus tomed to take part in the proceedings of public meetings. The leading shop-keepers of the town have also been extremely active, and contributed much by their spirited and patriotic exertions to the success and harmony of the proceedings. Lord Viscount MoLYsEus., M.P., having been called to the Chair, proceeded to address the meeting as follows : Brother Freemen and Gentlemen, the clap of thunder that has broken over us has been so sudden and so awful, that it is hardly necessary to allude to it ; but the thing itself is so incre',ible, that it needs to be repeated. It requires us to rut, our eyes and quicken our ears in order to believe the staggering fact ; that Wellington—( A burst of hisses ond execration here stopped the speaker for some seconds) . —that Wellington, the man who has been twice ejected by the people of England from the situation of Prime Minister —(Hisse, groans, and shouts of " No Wellington !")—the man who has no sympathy with the feelings, nor respect for the opinions of the people—(Cheers and hisses)—the man who has openly declared himself the friend of abuse and the enemy of reform—( Hisses and groans)—who has told yo'i that no reform was needed—that this man should now, with his followers, the wretched tools of corruption—(Loud cheers and hisses)—he drawn forth from the stagnant ken nels of Toryism—(lmmense cheering)—and should again be called to hold the first place in the councils of the nation. —(Lout cheers, and cries of " Ile shall not bold it long 1" ) This, gentlemen, is the astounding cause t'nat has called you together. The steps we propose you to take are these=that you will declare with one manly, respectful, but firm and uncompromising voice, jour determined pro test against so dangerous a proceeding.—(A unanimous shout of "We will !") I ask you, if you wish to see abuse, corruption, and monopoly, in every branch of Go vcrnment ?—if you wish to s , i.e rebellion in Ireland ?—if you wish to see a continental war ?—if you wish to see corruption in Church and S'Aate again established ?—(" No, no, no !") I call upon :;ou here, then, to join your voices to the millions that will be raised in England in the course of the week, and to eAter your stern remonstrance against so dangerous and awful a change.—(Great cheering.) His Lordship :nen took his post amidst many hearty cheers, and— Mr. W. W, CURRIE stepped forward and said—Gen tlemen, I ar.i a Radical ; and when I avow myself so, I do not mean that 1 am one of those whom our opponents choose 1;0 call Destructives. No ; I say a Radical the most perfect Conservative sense the country ceuld desire.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) With this qualification of tkie word, I have no hesitation in proclaiming myself a Radical. Am I a friend of the monarchy? I wish to 'support it by improving those institutions which are the . pride and glory of the Sovereign.—(Loud applause.) Am I a friend of the Church ? I wish to cut away those abuses which neither Conservatives nor any man living can deny. Am I a Radical ? I wish to lop off abuses—to restore to the Church that purity which ought to characterise rergion. (Hear, hear, and much applaun.) I wish to abolish sine , cures—(Cheers)—to do away with pluralities—(Cheers, — to pay the industrious clergyman more in proportion to their deserts—(Loud applause)—We ought to lose no time in expressing our opinion.--(Cheers.) We ought to lost no time in expressing our alarm at the return of the Duke of Wellington, and that ruinous syatem of policy which for twenty-five years beggared the country with places, pen - sions, and sinecures.—(" Mark that 1" and loud cheers.) He then read the resolution : " That this assembly cannot contemplate without the utmost alarm, the recal to his Majesty's councils of that party which has been constantly opposed to improvement and reform, ar.d which cannot conduct the business of the Government without a resolute support of all existing abuses, or a total abandon - ment of their own avowed principles." Colonel WILLIAMS, in seconding the motion, said—Gen ' tlemen, I, who have been a spectator and an auditor of what has been going on in the House of Commons, am satisfied that no men could have done more during the period that they were in office than those men who have been lately expelled from it.—(Applause.) I look upon it as one of the greatest calamities that could have befallen the nation that they have lost the services of those honest and sincere men.--(Hear, hear.) In looking back upon the condition of the country, you will remember that it is not many years since I addressed a meeting immediately after the infamous transaction at Manchester.--(Hear, hear, and hisses)—and when a ruffian who was one of the Liverpool voluntee' g "gloried in the hope that his first action would be to lay hi s sabre over my head.—(Hisses, and cheers.) Recollect this, when I ask you to say whether we are not liable to 'a repe tition of such outrages under a military government— ( Hear, hear, and much cheering.) The resolution having been carried unanirriru s ly, w i t h loud acclamations, Mr. HENRY BOOTH said—What have people done to deserve this at the King's hand ?—(ll',ar, hear.) Have they not been faithful, loyal, true? — (Cheers and cries of Yes, yes !") Nay, have they not . t , , een patient—patient in waiting for these reforms in abuses—those amendments in institutions, to which they knew ( they were entitled (Applause.) But the King hasl - ieen deceived—(Cheers) — or else he has been wantonly Alarmed.—(Renewed cheer ing.) But it has been said that Wellington will turn Re former.—( Never, never.) " Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots ?"—(Cheers, and shouts of laughter.) We will new - Jr cease our endeavours till every abuse in Church and. State has been rooted out of the land.--(Great apply use.) The second resolution, with your permission, I will, now read : " That at Us momentous crisis of public affairs, it is the solemn dut7 of the peaceful subjects of this great common wealth to avail themselves of their constitutional privileges of laying 'heir sentiments at the foot of the throne ; and that the following address be presented on behalf of this meeting to his Majesty." ADDRESS. " TO THE KING'S MGT EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " We, your Majesty's mast faithful subjects, inhabitants of Liverpool and vicinity, in public meeting convened, approach your Majesty with ser.'ciments of duty and respect, which are du• to the sovereign of a free people. " We are anxious to make known to your Majesty the asto nishment and disappointment which we in common, as we ap prehend, - with the large majority of your subjects throughout the nation, have experienced on learning that your Majesty appears to have withdrawn your support from th a t course o f enlightened policy which is identified with the wishes and in terests of the nation, and the great objects which it had la boured to accomplish—the reform of abuses in every depart ment of the State—economy in the administration of public affairs—peace with foreign states, if consistent with honour and sincerity—and that freedom and extension of commerce, from the dawn of which had already arisen renewed vigour and prosperity to the country—and that your Majesty had been pleased to call to your Councils, or to encourage with the prospeet of your Hoyal favour, men who have impeded, to their utmost, the great work of National Reform, and have striven to perpetuate the most glaring abuses both in Church and State—especially that your Majesty, Sovereign over an enlightened commercial nation, should have selected as the depository of your gracious confidence, a military chief, igno rant of the feelings of the people, and having no sympathy , with the sentiments, pursuits, and occupations of the grey t body of his fellow-countrymen--a man who, when the natir,n, as with one voice, determined a reform of the representatie,n of the people, emphatically declared that, in his opinion, no r eform was necessary. " Under these circumstances of surprise and regret., we arc compelled to the conviction that your Majesty has frit-gotten at the moment under the influence of evil advisers, o.e great con stitutional truth which experience has recently tierifled, that a Government, though differing amongst its w embers on minor points, becomes strong and efficient in the': approbation and support of a whole people ; whilst, on thy, other hand, an Ad ministration, though in character unite?, and determined, be comes weak, if it possesses not, becanse it deserves not, the confidence of the nation. " Most respectfully, therefore, but earnestly, with feelings which alone should animate ene hearts of a faithful and free people--we implore your Majesty to dismiss from your confi dence those who, when 'declared enemies of reform, are sepa rated as by a wall of brass from the sympathy and affections of the people, and in t'ileir place to call to your councils such only as by their public acts, or avowed principles, stand pledged to the country to Complete the great work of reform, and to earn for your Majesty golden opinions amongst all classes of your Majesty's loyal and affectionate subjects." Mr. SHILL seconded the motion. The Noble CHAIRMAN put this resolution also to the meeting. A forest of hands were held up in its favour, and only three against it. Mr. BRANCKIII proposed three times three cheers for the address, which were accordingly given with due spirit. Mr. BLACKBURN said, I beg to propose the following re solution : " That the glorious Act for the Reform of the House of Commons, the modern Magna Charta, places in the hands of the great body of the people the power of determining the cha racter of the Government ; and therefore it is the imperative duty of every constituency, in th e even t o f a di s solution of Parliament, to use every possible exertion to secure the return of such Representatives as are pledged to the great princi ples of peace, economy, and r'zform." Gentlemen, the pro „ - ;ent changes are only temporary. (Astounding applause.) All monopolies, both secular and " 44 7:iastical, are doomed to certain and speedy destruction. The decree of the people has gone forth, and their days are numbered. ' Mr. JOHN CROPPER seconded the motion without remark. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and car ried, as the others, unanimously. Mr. T. B. BARCLAY proposed the nest resolution, namely— " That the Address to the King be signed by the Chairman, Lord Molyneux, on behalf of the meeting ; and that Lord Derby and Lord Sefton be respectfully requested to present it to his Majesty." Mr. CIIALMER, surgeon, seconded the resolution, which: was carried unanimously. Mr. THOMAS BOLTON proposed a vote of thanks to W. Ewart, Esq., Member for their borough, on whose con duct he pronounced a warm eulogium.—(Enthusiastic ap plause.) Mr. BROCKLEBANK seconded the motion. Mr. EWART, on coming forward, was saluted with over whelming acclamations, the shouting and waving of hats continuing several minutes. After thanking the meeting warmly, he said—Gentlemen, I have no confidence in the Government that has been just appointed—(no, nor have they in London either)—because my reason cannot con vince me that these are the men, or that they profess prin ciples, which can safely or long be adopted as the govern i.ig principles of this country. Can we hope that the rights of the poople will he properly conceded—(never) — when we have the Prime Minister Chancellor of one of the Universities, and two other Ministers representatives of the other.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) What hope is there that free trade will be maintained or extended —that free trade which is of the utmost importance to every inhabitant of this community, including, of course, if they knew their true interests, the bur gesses themselves ?—( Hear, hear.) What hope is there of the concession of free trade from men who opposed the alteration of the timber-duties, and who are in principle, if not in person, opposed to free trade in corn ?—(Cheers.) We are told, Gentlemen, that the Duke of Wellington will act as he acted in the case of the Ca tholics.—( Hear, hisses and groans.) But the cases are not at all parallel.—(Cheers.) There he, maintained his original principles, but changed his measures ; now it will be nece-.. sary, in order to satisfy the people, that he must. 7iot only change his measures, but his principles likewise.—(Loud applause.) Can you believe that the Duke of Wellington has changed all the principles that actuated him in the short space of three months ?—(" No, no," and much ap plause.) Gentlemen, if the Duke of Wellington succeed in forming an Administration, we must look for a change of measures, not only in this country, but all over Europe.— ( Hear, hear.) Let our motto be, " Union ! Union ! Union!"—(Cheers.) Let us make one resolution, that there shall be no compromise with the enemy.—(Loud cheers.) We will talk of compromise only when we have proved that we are invincible. Three cheers were given to Mr. Ewart on his retiring, and a cry was raised for Mr. Thornely. He (lid not, how ever, make his appearance, having sent a note to the Com mittee, to the effect that he was prevented attending the meeting by sickness. Mr. Was. EARLE proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman. Mr. EWART seconded the motion. The honourable gen tleman was going on, when Dr. COLLINS interposed with a vote of thanks, not in the regular course of the proceeding, to Lord Durham, the pa triot and friend of the people. The vote of thanks to the Chairman was carried by ac clamation. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the honour. His Lordship concluded amidst much cheering, and nine times nine cheers having been given, on the proposition of Mr. BRANCKER, for " William the Reformer," the meeting quietly dispersed. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1834 and other settled institutions of England, which their friends have reason to dread. Events, at no distant period, will, it is to be feared, speak in a language much to be de precated. And should the nation take on the movement, will the Gallant Duke be able to withhold it? sole aim of this meeting, as at first projected, was to at tempt (by the creation of a Society to act in concert with the Orange agitators of Ireland) the support of the abuses of the Irish Church, as the best means of checking reform in our own ; and for this purpose it was proposed to invite some of the wildest orators from the sister country, and some of the bitten nobility of this, to give eclat to the whole ; but not one of the movers of this scheme were so far possessed with its feasibility, as to conceive for one moment the thought of submitting its merits to the test of a really public meeting. I speak within book when I state it as a fact, that the best men of this party, both as to talent and character, doubt the prOpriety of this attempt at trans fusing the saliva of that rabid Orangeism which has deso lated Ireland, into England via Bristol ; but the infatuation of_the party; as a whole, clung to it, and the attempt went on. In the meantime came the change in the Ministry—a perfect Godsend to the meeting—which otherwise bade fair to (lie the death of all such little hole and corner affairs. As it is, doubtless the most will be made of it ; and you must expect, as I fully expect, to see it made a dead point of in support of the "Dictator." I write then to let you, and through you the public, know who are the movers in the affair, in order that no one may be imposed on by a version of it distorted to suit the purposes of a party, whether that party be of Church or of State. In the first place, the meeting is not a public meeting : the admission is by tickets of invitation, sent to those only who are friendly to its object. In the next place, the movers and friends are composed of all who lend their united force in this city to prop up its abuses, and to make the religion of peace a means of disseminating strife and dissension. These are the Reformation gentry, who be lieve, with Captain Gordon, that every Roman Catholic, however conscientiously pious, must inevitably be damned ; these are the pluralists and the sinecurists ; the fat Church men in possession, and the lean ones expectant ; these are the close corporators and the select vestry-men—in fact, all the corruption of the city bands together, and following the leader (as one sheep follows another) over the precipice of bigotry and intolerance. This is the same party which during the agitation of the Reform Question got up a meeting similar in its character to the present one, at which an address was carried to the King and put forward as from the inhabitants of Bristol, at a time when the inhabitants of Bristol were so unani mous in favour of Reform, that this party feared to contest the subsequent election, and withdrew without a struggle. This party, however, has one merit -it acts in concert as a few well-known leaders shall decide—so that they have only to settle among themselves what is desirable in their estima tion to be done, and they can count aptin such as they are, to a man, This Is _. a convenient thing, and must give a pertain .y A— ral citizens , who &xis-- ~gree of power against titles - drilling . ...(ot be expected to submit to such . - ~soiutions and addresses, agreed to at meetings from which the citizens are excluded, as though they emanated from the citizens—though it is not denied that they do possess some influence which, by the way, they are not very scru pulous in eAcreisinse- , 4hotigh by dint of the worst of pray= tices they procured a majority of old corrupt freemen at the last election, yet they never dared to meet the citizens in a public meeting. I appeal in corroboration of what I have said to the Staniard, which four days before the meeting was to take place, printed the Resolutions to be passed thereat !—and why not ? The parties only meet in a private way to go through the form of assenting to what has been settled by the directing few long ago. I am, Sit, your very obedient servant, A BRISTOL REFORMER. ... I am no alarmist ; yet it appears to me that the country is in a most serious and difficult position. The people in the north will shortly, it is evident, commence their consti tutional exertions. They would, even now, at this critical moment, address the King, but they have lost all confidence in the Court. North Shields, Nov. 22, 1834. HANTS—SO UTHERN DI VISION. The Central Committee who conducted the election of Lord Palmerston and Sir G. Staunton to so glorious a termination in 1822, met this day at the George Inn, - Southampton, at twelve o'clock. A large number of the most eminent reformers in the county were present, and the accounts from every district were of the most favourable kind. W. E. Nightingale, Esq., of Embley-park, was called to the chair. John Bonham Carter, Esq., M.P., and John Watkins Drew, Esq., who were the indefatigable chairman and honorary Secretaries at the last elec tion, were again appointed, and gave assurances of their most active services. Various resolutions were pro posed and seconded by John Guitton, Esq., Admiral Om maney, Rev. C. B. Renville, R. Best, Esq., of Botley Grange, James Weld, Esq., Messrs. Hoskins, George Holmes, Esq., and others. It was unanimously determined to act in the spirit of entire union and co-operation for both candidates in one committee. There was the most unequi vocal denial of the absurd statement of a re-action. The following handbill has been issued : " The central Committee who conducted the election of Lord Palmerston and Sir G. Staunton in 1832, have met, and are ready at their posts to assist the electors in taking the ne cessary measures for securing their return to Parliament in the event of a dissolution. A stand must be made in the House of Commons for the liberties of the people. Reformers—be vigilant and active. Let not the Reform Bill be a dead letter. .‘ W. E. NIGHTINGALE, Chairman." BRISTOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six—l have just been looking over the file of the Times for the last five years, chiefly for the purpose of satisfying Iwpm:if that my memory had not deceived me as to the terms in which that paper was accustomed to denounce the return of Tory domination. Its columns afford an almost continuous philippic against the faction ; but I was particularly struck by the articles which followed each other, day after day, in the month of June last year. At that time the hostile de monstrations in the House of Lords, and the confident lan guage of the self-styled Conservatives, had awakened the most serious alarm for the safety of the Whig Administra tion—the fearful consequences attendant on the triumph of the Tories are depicted by the Times with equal energy and truth, and the character of their leaders , in term- - bitterest invective. - ~ the P ass "-- - g ec , not because extracts I have transcribed a few from that degraded jrnat can AS such now have the least weight or infl:“ - ence with any honest man of any party, but bec°':. - se it had then the credit of being the zealous advocate of the people's rights, and one of the chief organs of public opinion. Its present base apostacy cannot invalidate facts and reasonings in themselves irrefutable. These were eli cited by the bare apprehension of a crisis like the present— the crisis then so strongly deprecated has actually arrived, and the dangers of it and the odious character of its authors cannot be more strikingly delineated than by that journal which now lends its disgraceful support to those whom it h as so often denounced as the unchangeable enemies of tbttr On try's freedom. _ _ Bristol, Nov. 25, 1834. P.S. I have not the slightest doubt that the public mind here is decidedly hostile to the Duke, and that the Tories have 'oat power hi Btigtol since the last election. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Sin—Considering any thing calculated t• mislead the public mind at the present important crisis should be ex posed, I beg your insertion of the following. for the truth of which I pledge myself. Your's respectfully, Bristol, N0v.25, 1834. R. W. T. Fellow-Countrymen—The Tories arc about to hold an Orange meeting in this city to-morrow at the Horticultural Rooms, at which Alderman Daniel is to preside. Doubtless they would fain have it go forth to the world that it is a meet ing of the inhabitants of this city and neighbourhood generally. 1 therefore, in justice to you, and in order that you may not consider the proceedings thereof as an expression of the feel ings or the opinions of the Bristolinns, assure you that the only persons admissible to the said meeting are such as are of known Tory principles, every individual of whom are fur nished with an admission ticket (not even transferable), the name of the person holding such being written on the said ticket. Bristol, Nov. 25, 18:34. R. W. T. PORTSMOUTH, Nor. 25. A very numerous meeting of the general committee which supported the interests of John Bonham Carter, Esq. and Francis Thornhill Baring, Esq. (late Secretary to the Treasury), at the last general election, assembled to gether last night to consider the proper steps to be taken in the present situation of public affairs, to secure the great objects of the Reform Bill, the maintenance of civil and religious liberty, and the best interests of the country. Up wards of one hundred and fifty of a committee, which two years ago consisted of two hundred, assembled at a very short notice, and unanimously determined, " That as the meeting believed the late Administration, under Lord Mel bourne, bad determined on introducing decided measures of civil and ecclesiastical reform, and more especially that great measure, second only in importance to the Reform Bill itself—municipal reform on liberal and extended principles : and as our present members, J. B. Carter, Esq. and F. T. Baring, Esq., are known to have been friendly to that Ad ministration, in regard to its renewed determination to carry out the principles of reform, they be invited to become can didates to represent this borough in Parliament, in case the expected dissolution should occur." The above resolution was followed by another, calling a public meeting of the electors for to-morrow evening in the largest room in the borough, at which both members will attend. Their return is certain, though a dozen oppo nents are mentioned. We enumerate Admiral Napier, a Portuguese pensioner ; Colonel Gurrwood, a thick and thin supporter of Lord Wellington ; Admiral Sir Robert Stop ford, a man who, at the last election, offered to one influen tial gentleman to come forward on the liberal side, and to another gentleman to come forward on the Tory side ; Sir Edward Brown, an Admiral, a brave officer, but unfit for anything out of a ship ; John Wilson Croker (of him the Tories make sure, because his brother-in-law is storekeeper of the Dock-yard) ; two Lords of the new Admiralty, because it is deemed by the Tories that the representation of Portsmouth of right ought to belong to the Admiralty ; Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, because he is the King's son, and commands a stationary yacht here, An additional list shall be sent, for as this is now a sporting borough, some sport may he expected here. A splendid meeting of the Central Committee who aided the return of Lord Palmerston and Sir George Staunton at the last election was held yesterday at Southampton. The feeling displayed and the information collected pretty clearly ascertained that the return of these gentlemen would be certain in the event of a dissolution, to which we can add, that by a communication from Sir George Staunton, re ceived to-day from Brussels, he expresses himself confident of success, supported by such friends as have already offered themselves on the present occasion, and his determination to strive to the last to keep the southern part of Hants out of the hands of the Wellington influence. Fleming is try ing hard, but even his warmest supporters say, " that Fleming must eschew his former conduct in Parliament— that he must be aware that reforms in all institutions are necessary."- But query—who will believe him when he has said this ? CHELTENHAM: ( From the Cheltenham Free Press.) The Crisis, the momentuous, the long-looked for crisis, has at length arrived, when the question so long pending will be decided—whether the supreme Magis trate is stronger than the people by whose sufferance he exists ! It behoves the people, then, every man who has one single spark of freedom animating his bosom, to be up and stirring; each and every soldiei of truth should be at his post, (but not as a post) declaiming individually and col lectively with a voice resounding , like thunder falling upon the astounded ears of the " advocates of vested rights, and the enemies of all reform," teaching them that the days are passed, and happily passed for ever, when the people of England could be trifled with and coerced contrary to their inclinations with impunity. NOTTINGHAM. (From the Nottingham Mercury.) Since the publication of our last, Tory influence and the unfounded terrors of a certain party at Court have pre vailed, and his Majesty bending to the breeze, has dismissed his Ministers. Much as we regret this ill-advised step, as far as the late Government is concerned, yet, as advocating consistent reform, we have every reason to rejoice ; for the friends of liberal measures may rest assured that no power on earth can stay the progress of that irresistible feeling which is sternly determined to carry reformation into full effect. KENDAL. (From the Kendal Mercury.) At the present moment we are well assured all honest Reformers will unite heart and hand, and oppose the com mon enemy of our country's greatness, w ell-being, and freedom. Another shock of the machine was, perhaps, required before the Court and the Aristocracy could stretch their eyes open to behold the gulf that yawns for them, in case of continued resistance to the popular will. The nation is now undergoing the electrical action, and the end will be the peaceful surrender of what is due to justice and STAMFORD-LAMBETH. TENNYSON'S ADDRESS to the ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of STAMFORD. Gentlemen,---On my return, this day, to the metropolis, I am met by two of your 'moat respected fellow-townsmen, my old friends and allies, deputed to place in my hands an invita tion to become, once more, a candidate for the representation of your Borough, when a dissolution of Parliament shall take place. . . . . The requisition is signed by a multitude of names, which awaken all those sentin'.ents of affectionate respect which the patriotic conduct of tlie inhabitants of Stamford indelibly im pressed upon me when we were fellow labourers in the public cause. It is most gratifying for me, also, to see before me so flattering a testimony that your personal kindness towards me is undiminished. Our separation arose, alone, from my conviction that an attempt to rQ.tain my seat as your representative was hopeless at that period, in consequence of the increased power acquired by the patron of your Corporation. The result of the elec tion of 1832 showed that I was not mistaken. Your brilliant example to the country, and your ultimate success, had con tribu',.ed to achieve the Reform Bill. You, unhappily, became tr,mr,rary victim of its generalizing arrangements. It could scarcely be expected that you should at once be ready for a w effort, and as Reformers then wielded the power._ ;;;. the Government, it might seem to you less necessAr - i to make it, at the private sacrifice which I saw you encounter while Par liamentary Reform was in prospect, But now when a desperate and reckless attempt is to be made by the old enemies of public liberty, not only to arrest the progress of national regeneration, but to paralyze all the beneficial changes effected by a reformed Parliament, and doubtless even to rescind the reform of Parliament itself ; now, when by corruption thus upheld, revived and increased, they anticipate the restoration of their golden age, and specu late upon maintaining it by military force ;—the men of Stamford again resume their proud station--again prepare to afford to the people of England a new, vigorous, and animat ing example of generous and patriotic self-devotion, and at every risk to stand by the liberties of our country. I am indeed proud that we should have fought in the same field, and that you should deem me worthy of again becom ing your leader. Prouder still should I be, if it were now in my power to accept your invitation ; but having been adopted and returned to Parliament by a Vast majority of the electors of Lambeth—having established with them the samo relations which existed formerly between you and myself, re ceiving daily testimonies of their goodwill and of their deter mination to place me again in the House of Commons if the expected dissolution should take place, I should be without excuse if I abandoned the post their confidence assigns to me, even if I appreciated less highly than I do the honour of representing so important a constituency. Satisfied, however, as you are, and—after the statements made to me—as I am also—that you are now able to counter act the baneful influence which overshadows you, and to assist your countrymen in giving a death-blow to the faction which again threatens them—l doubt not that some one more worthy of the distinction, and better qualified for the discharge of so important a duty, although not more devoted to your your interests than myself, may readily be found. To be the champion of such a body as the electors of Stamford, at such a period, with such hopes and objects, and with the bright reward of national admiration which will attend your victory, is not a station to be refused by any one who is fit for the office and free to accept it. If I can personally or otherwise aid you in the contest— command me freely. Every sentiment of private attachment and public duty will stimulate me to exertion on your behalf, and no one will more ipyfully hail your triumph than the in dividual who once hr.al the happiness to share it. Pelieve me to be, Gentlemen, Year attached friend and grateful servant, CHARLES TENNYSON. Park -street, Westminster, Nov. 24, 1824. ESSEX. The Di ssen t ers are f orm i ng loc a l committees in every disitri c t of this Church-and-King county. The resolutions pr .ssed at the United Committee, Redcross-street, London, Lave been adopted verbatim. The Essex Tories, like the rest of . the T o ri es th roug h ou t th e ki ng d om , are ev id en tly preparing to trim at a moment's notice. NORTH SHIELDS. The excitement in the North is not yet arrived at its strength. People are scarcely recovered from the astonish ment which this Court manoeuvre produced in their minds. The first impression made by the news was, that it was im possible. When the news was confirmed, incredulity was succeeded by astonishment, intermingle , l with a feeling of mirth—strange as it may appear ; but, this is now beginning to give place to something more alarming to us all. Mr. Hutt's speech at the Newcastle dinner has excited a strong interest amongst the people, and there are such re sponses, as if what was probably spoken in a moment of excitement was settling down, slowly, but too surely, into conviction. Mer. 'negin to say, " Are the destinies of many millions of human beings to be thus trifled with by caprice ? Is the tide of national reform and regeneration to be turne I back by such means ? Is it just—is it reasonable ?IsLI .e nation's will—its whole energies—its universal intellect to be suddenly extinguished, by the small coterie of a town ,on the. sea-coast ?" This Court intrigue has struck a blow at tbl 4riztowerr,ry Extretets frotri tltt± 'Times of June 14, 15 : " We are hound to express our fears that the Tories, if they persist, may force out the existing Administration before another fortnight. What comes next, ?

If so, it is a stupid beast of a nation. But the thing i s ' impossi ble."— Times, June 13, 1833. ‘, The country is now forewarned of the projects of the Tory conspirators—it is not a return to office only, which could at this moment fulfil the ambition or stimulate the violence of the Tory Chiefs---it is the purposes to which official power might, in their hands, according to their hopes, be converted. The work of reaction and destruction—the dissolution of all the yet unfinished labours of the friends of free and upright govern ment—the suffocation in their cradle of those numerous, some of them excellent, measures which have just seen the light, and which are deemed by the public enemy (the old and scotched and writhing dragons of the oligarchy), so 'rally clinchers of their own everlasting exclusion from that which alone gives value to office in their eyes—a monopoly of domi nion over the spoils of the entire empire—the hitherto sacred abuses of close corporations exposed, and on the point of being signally punished—the Church of both countries . , that rich storehouse for the destitute scions of aristocracy---tat mass of perversions of whatever is best and holiest to the meanest and vilest use, the Church itself—about to be cleansed of its im purities I Why, all these together are enough to drive To ryism mad ; and to nothing short of madness has the Tory faction been at length exasperated. They reason rightly a s to the end, but their premises bespeak deplorable infatuation. They do not err in believing that the accomplishment of the great measures alone glanced at would be absolutely and for ever inconsistent with those views which constitute the moving power of politicians of their clique, or in resolving to deck, if they can, and extinguish such schemes of public good in their infancy ; but their error, their frenzy, lies in their imagin ing that they possess, or can ever attain to such preternatural power. The Tories might as well dream of uprooting this island from her ocean seat as of crushing the seeds of universal reform, which have sprung up every where from a congenial soil, and cover every spot within her boundaries. The whole band of conservatives have stood aloof from the people of England and to this hour know them not. They keep down the nation ! They reimpose the ` j ., cast off shattered yoke where are their means?—where their resources ?—where their hundreds of thousands of armed men ?—where their hold over the affections of a people, amongst whom they are but an isolated and hated coterie? What can any sane mind pronounce upon the issue of such an enterprise —upon the result of a Tory government in this coun try—but political convulsion, civil war, and, above all, the final and total annihilation of those who have wickedly or blindly caused them? Every step of these Tory tyrants is a direct step towards revolution. Let them move onwards ;we cannot prevent them—nothing can prevent them ; they are galloping full tilt at the precipice, and the abyss yawns for them below. They can produce a change of Ministers within the next twenty.four hours, and a change we doubt not they will produce within a little longer period. But will they go vern without a House of Commons, or in spite of it ? Will there be a Parliament of Peers at York, and a Commons House of Parliament in London ? What times were they ? and in what did they terminate ? Whither would these ma niacs drive their unhappy country ? Times, June 14, 1833. We have reason to apprehend that the leaders of the so called conservative faction meditate a direct war upon the na tion. We do not mean a war of words or sentiments, or le gislative measures, but literally a war of the bayonet and the sabre. We assert it from a knowledge of facts, there is nothing figurative in the statement, all is li teral, all is true. The subject has been well discussed in the Conservative Council. The army is described to be " staunch to a man." The military faction and the Court faction are besotted enough to imagine, that if certain persons were once in power the battle might yet be restored and the day be won. They are the most ignorant, the most infatuated, the most unteachable of human beings, who so judge of the people of this country. Within three months of such an attempt being made, not a vestige of conservatism would be left throughout the kingdom. In the mean time every city, county, borough, and parish in the island ought to be in readiness for whatever, even the worst, that may happen. Petitions, remonstrances, declarations of distrust in a conserva tive ministry ought to be prepared, in case of necessity. In our opinion no crisis ever arose in Great Britain more preg nant with grave alarms than that on the eve of which we at this moment stand. As for a dissolution of the existing Par liament, one man, and one man only, among the conservatives can be blind enough to plunge into such an experiment—it is He who made the grand blunder of denouncing, and thereby of producing a reform of Parliament.— Times, June 15,1834. The above extracts are moderate in their tone in compa rison with other articles of the some month, but their striking applicability to the present crisis, and the forcible and im pressive language in which they are conveyed have induced me to give them the preference over the more violent pas sages which I might have selected, and which your readers may ascertain by turning to the Times of June, 1833. If, then, these things were true of the Tories only last I year, are they less so now ? Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? What miracle has since occurred which can have wrought a change so incredible as the conversion of the Tories to liberal principles? Would the prostitute journal I have quoted have us say, Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis? A. The ORANGE TORY MEETING at BRISTOL TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A meeting is to be held in Bristol on Wednesday the 26th instant, avowedly in support of the Protestant Church of Ireland ; and though, under ordinary circum stances, it might have been left to perish in its insignifi cance, I think, in the present position of affairs, that it is well to place the country on its guard, as doubtless attempts will be made by the Tory press and the adherents to Tory misgovernment to give to it a character and a bearing which . l can easily show by no means belong to it. The plan of this meeting was agitated some time before the rather sudden consummation of the plot for driving a Liberal Administration from office, to make way for the patrons of ancient abuses : it was broached among the rabid section of the High Church party in this city—a section which has given several proselytes to the Irving mania ; and it was discountenanced by some of the most sensible friends of the Church—by men whose Toryism and attach ment to the Establishment cannot be questioned. The to right. By the resolution, union, and watchfulness of the people ; by the forgetfulness of the past errors of our public men ; by a calm and steady perseverance in a doristitutiona l . course for the redress of national grievances, we shall again see the ascendancy of liberal councils in England, and the bigots and the corruptionists overthrown for ever. NO TT I.IV 0 HAM (From the Nottingham Mercury.) So much for consistency Since then the Times has been coming out with its ifs, and is evidently coquettino , with the Duke. The Morning Chronicle is straight-forward n its old principles, and well merits public patronage, as every stroke of the pen is in defence of the people's rights. The Morning Herald wishes to rival the Times, and take the lead with the new Government. Of the evening papers Th. Sun and the Globe are firm to the liberal cause. SHEFFIELD. (From the Sheffield Iris.) Our statement of last week is most unfortunately confirmed, and we are living at the present moment under a military go vernment. The national liberties ore to be entrusted to the protection of him who declared all public meetings farces—the avowed enemy of all change and amendment in our institutions —who, in 1832, that memorable year was ready to carry through a measure which he had himself characterised as un called for, revolutionary, and dangerous, in a protest, the ink of which had scarcely time enough allowed to dry—in whom the outraged feeling of the public found a politician, whose iniquities their utmost loathing and abhorrence were inadequate to do justice to—a man who, then, as now, for the sake of per sonal aggrandisement, would run all the hazards of driving the nation to the verge of a civil war—a man not unwilling, to serve the ends of himself and his party, to goad a nation to madness, and then make its frantic excesses a pretext for pu nishment. The man of 1832, is the man of 1834—unchanged and unchangeable. SUNDERLAND. (From the Sunderland Herald.) What could urge his Majesty to have recourse to so hazardous a proceeding ? It could not under these circum stances emanate from any conviction of its necessity. The inference, therefore, is, that be has acted under the influence of Tory persuasion. The Queen is known to be inimical to reform ; and there are no want of sycophants about and behind the throne, to avail themselves of the agency of her petty Ger man prejudices to bring about this unexpected result. That such a step has teen taken without a due appreciation of the consequences that may result from it, is sufficiently apparent to those who are conversant with the state of the country. The ptiles that crawl about the Court have lately been deceiving !lamas es with the notion that there has been a Tory re-action in the country ; and under this false impression—false as they ".7.doubtedly find it, when the energies of the constituency of England are once fairly awakened—they have induced the King, through the prevailing intercession of his illustrious cbtitort, to avail himself of the present crisis to re-establish a ConSerVetivo government. This, we believe, is the trite secret of the rffair. It is insanity in the Duke, or whoever may be his nominee in the Premiership, to build any hopes upon a dissolution of Parliament. Here and there a Whig or a doubtful Liberal may be displaced by a friend of the Court, but no trick of statesmanship, neither stimulants from the Horse Guards, nor persuasives from the Treasury, will have the effect of prevent ing the feil4th Of it majority adverse to the ducal government. Aad of what dispiltioti will that majority be ! They will be chosen in the bitterness of party exultation and party disappoint ment—amid the violence of a popular whirlwind—they wilt pass from the hustings to the Hous,.7. of Commons, hot with op position—pledged beyond equivocation to gt ; to the , extremes of the national bent—vehement outcries against t.,,,L rt and Peers, and Prelates still ringing in their ears—and bound by such ties, and excited by such influences, who shall pretend to foresee bow far the representatives of the people (specially so styled, may proceed in the hour of struggle or of triumph ? When we look to the age of the sovereign (now approaching his seventieth year) it seems to us the very climax of infatua tion to play so desperate a game for a term of ministerial as cendency which, under every point of view, promises to be so fleeting and uncertain, and so little likely to benefit any of the conflicting interests by which the country is divided. DUBLIN. The prospect of an approaching dissolution of Parlia ment, announced in the number of The Sun, which ar rived yesterday, has given a new impetus to public opinion. While I write, preparations are being made to organise the country in favour of Reform—calm and temperate, but un equivocal and efficient Reform. On this principle Ireland will be united ; all shades of opinion and party differences being unanimously merged in the great question of improvement, conformably to the " spirit of the age." O'Connell has, in this instance, taken a step mare serviceable to the true in terests of his country, than anything done by him dur'ng his long and eventful career. He has, in fact, virtually abandoned Repeal, for the purpose of concentrating public opinion against the continuance of the old Tory system, and he will succeed. None but a Liberal, and Reformer, will have any chance, in the next Parliament, of being a Repre sentative for Ireland. This you may reckon upon as a cer tainty. Since the meeting at the Corn Exchange, on Friday, the Committee, then elected, have had frequent conferences, the object of which is to arrange the best mode of diffusing through the country a definite and distinct notion of the principles which should unite all the friends of Ireland at the approaching election. There will he an aggregate meeting in a few days, in which these views will be so fully developed, as to leave no doubt of their producing the intended effect on almost the entire constituency of the country. Hitherto the more intelligent and wealthy classes have, generally speaking, held back, from an apprehension of O'Connell's policy in agitating Repeal ; but this once abandoned, and the cry of " Reform of all abuses" will pervade the entire community. So that in Ireland, at least, the Tories will be defeated. On the first news of a Wellington Administration, we were inclined to contemplate the change, rather with hope than fear. But the threatened dissolution of Parliamen4 - , and incipient formation of a Tory Cabinet, have nearly dis pelled the illusion arising from the recollections of the Great Captain's policy of 1829. We cannot now believe that the Duke and his party will venture to change their principles, or uphold ancient abuses. Neither course is practicable with any hope of retaining place or character. The tithe campaign, which is just commencing here, under existing laws, if suffered to go on, must produce bloodshed and insurrection. The probability, therefore, is, that the Test at the next election will be " Extinction of tithes, and continued Reform." We do not call for more than Re form in the Church. Establishment itself—by which we mean such a modification as will render it respectable and. useful. An opinion is gaining ground, that a Tory Ad ministration cannot, with any consistency, make the con cessions required by the actual state of this country. If they do, they must forfeit character—and if they lose cha racter, they cannot lor.g hold place and power over the British empire. Hence the -principle of measures by means of men of known and tried character is, beginning to supersede all other considerations, and to unite parties seldom united, in Ireland against a Tory Government. SCOTLAND. Every post brings us intelligence of meetings crowding rapidly upon each other ; all denouncing the Tories, and breathing the strongest and purest spirit of reform. We draw particular attention to the proceedings at Glasgow. The great meeting in Edinburgh has, it appears, struck terror into the hearts of the Tories, and proportionably elated the Reformers. It seems by what our contem porary the Scotsman states, that we have unintentionally underrated the numbers present at that assemblage, there not being less than 16,000 congregated in the Grass-market, and about 6,000 more have temporarily visited the scene. It is gratifying to observe how nobly the various corpora tions of Scotland have come forward. This is a striking proof of the value of borough reform. GLASGOW. On Friday a special meeting of the Town Council of Glas gow was held. Wm. Mills, Esq., Provost, in the chair. The PROVOST stated, that after consulting his colleagues, he had felt it his duty to call a special meeting for the pur pose of considering the propriety of addressing the King in the present juncture, in consequence of the unexpected change of Government, in which the peace and prosperity of the country, and the rights and liberties of the people are concerned. On the motion of Mr. FLEMING, the following address was, after several spirited speeches, agreed to : " May it please your Majesty : We, your Majesty's loyal subjects, the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of the city of Glasgow, in common council assembled, approach your Majesty with sentiments of devotion to your royal person, to express our regret at the withdrawal of your confidence from your late Ministers. " The numerous reform measures which have been so hap pily and beneficially carried, had inspired the people with con fidence in the stability of a Reformed Government, the preval ence of its principles, and the permanence of its policy. Ma nufactures and commerce flourished under that confidence, and the people experienced the true blessings of peace, and re joiced in the contemplation of its continuance. " The recent progress of public opinion, under the guidance of your Majesty's late Ministers, inspired us with the hope of the early attainment of all further necessary ameliorations in toe institutions of the country. " The intelligence, however, that your Majesty has called to your Councils a Nobleman whose education and habits dis qualify him for appreciating the true feelings and interests of the people, and whose connection with that party which has encouraged war and opposed all reform, necessarily unfits him to participate in the Councils of the beloved Sovereign of a free people, has spread a gloom over this city, and excited universal dread of the numerous evils which must flow from distrust of the Government, and the general discontent of the nation. " We do, therefore, most earnestly beseech your Majesty not to place confidence in any statesman who has opposed tb . e people's desir e f or reform, and to summon to your Councils those statesmen only in whom the people can confide, and who will, by the adoption of further constit utional reforms, Pr°. the true interests of the country." °BEAT MEETING ON GLASGOW Agreeably to the resolution of the Committee sPI all to watch the progress of events, a public meeting, e, , ; , (1 7 the Lord Provost, in compliance with a numerousiYrstic, requisition, was held on the Green, in front of the:l ci u er o ary Hall, on Saturday last, at two o'clock, to eon° propriety of addressing the King on the present f• crisis of the public affairs. : t r od By two o'clock the crowds had begun to pour f t'o uarters, with flags and other insignia expressive Of people's sentiments.

A number of the flags had the t ' I f tl O bayonets, and other warlike instruments on the top 61 flag-staffs. bier` Amongst the various mottos on the flags, we the following :—" We are read " " Liberty or " We area free people, and we y must have a free ",:d e ment"—" Death and destruction to the cold-ble°7 rants, foes of freedom con "—" Disappointed but ° 0 " ib' quished"—" No flinching now"--" Once more tiPy re oe breach —a sword crossed, and the motto, hi* t e ed, motto want our rights."
