About a quarter of an hour previous to the ar rival of his Majesty at the House of Lords, the Honourable Member for Preston was - discovered dilving along Parliament-street in an open cabriolet. The instant the populace recognized him, their shouts and yells, and groans and execration, were truly deafening. Mr. Hunt, in fact, was assailed with reproaches from all quarters. This morning, at an early hour, Ministers waited on his MAJESTY in a body, tendering their re signaTion, as it would be impossible for them to carry on the Government unless an instant dissolution were resolved on. Mt MAJESTY, with the generous manly feeling of a true British Monarch, replied that not only would he dissolve Parliament, but would readily do so in person. The last hope of the Boroughmongers is now crushed for ever. • Electors of the United Kingdom,- —To you at this eventful crisis, we solemnly, as is our bounden duty, address ourselves. On you hangs the salvation of the country. You have it in your power either to precipitwe or to prevent revolution.. Hitherto your battle has been fought —and nobly has it been fought—by the Ministers: now, their : toils for the present are ended, and you yourselves must enter the field of action. All now depends:, on your exertions. Give but tie order, and the. boroughmongers are fur ever extinguished; delay it but a•week—but a day—but an hour--and the sel of their cause is again in the ascendant ; they become the tylarits, you the slaves; they enjoy the triumph, and you are dragged in chains at their chariot. wheels. A dissolution, as you must ere this have foreseen, is resolved on. Probably, ere to day's sun set, •it will have taken place. Ministers in the noblest spirit of confidence, after having dis puted every inch of ground with the borough mongers; after having nailed their colours to the mast, and resolved to peril their all in your calm; finding the enemy still too strong for them, have determined, as their last resource, to appeal to you;- -to rely on your .energy—on your generosity—on your patriotism, to entry them triumphantly through all their difficulties. Electors of the United Kingdom, —This is the first time in the annals of the British Constitution, that a Ministiy ever preferred appealing to the country, to .uppealing to a faction. It is absolutely the first time that the voice otthe people ever pos- . sesed more weight with the Government than that. .of the boroughmongeis. Ilithetto we have seen party after party take up the reins of office, end, when- once in, throw overboard the pro fessions they made when out ; but now. we .behold ,a More glorious 7 -a more soul-stirrin g spectacle. We see an administration despising 'all the whi , pet—the lures—the threats of party; clinging for support neither to this faction nor to that; appealing neither to Whigs on the one hand, nor to Tories on the other; but looking solely to the people; legislating solely for them; and de &ring to main Office, only so long as they can ad vance the public interests. Is not this a Govern ment to be supported, if only from the novelty of its principles ? We need not answer. - Every good man's heart will reply for us, Mearrime, however, if the country expect to conquer, it must be prompt and persevering in its exertions. NOt an hour must be lost. Every minute even has its value, and adds the widow's mite to the gm:4 cause. We appeal to all that is generous, open and enlightened in the English character; to the hones► pride and high-minded in dependence of the gallant Scots; to the steady bold- tress - Enid loyally of the Welsh; to the chivalrous enthusiasm of the Irish ;—we appal, in short, to Britons of ail ages, of all ranks, of all professions, of all trades ; to the divine, to the lawyer, to the phy sician, to the merchant, to the tradesman ;—we ap peal to each and all of these, to come boldly forward and take th;s, perhaps the last opportunity, of assyrtina their common rights. Not a man in the ecinmuuity, 1;c0 matter how humble he m.iy deem himsed, but has a deep, personal interest in Reform. He is bound to the cause by all the ties of public honour and private feeling. He owes it to his country that she shall not be trampled on; to his poster;ty, that they 0011 not 1 ,, e born slaves. A voice from the future, as well as from the past, calls aloud on him, sternly, to do his duty! In the spirit of these exhortations, the people have already anticipated us. In Scotland, the Giant. agi- talon; after a short uneasy slumber, has commenced his iahours afresh ; while in the populous manu fluffing disttie's of Sleffield, Birmingham, Alan- chester, thousands, and tens of thousands, and hundred of thousands, are waiting only the signal to put forth their tremendous power. In Manchester more particularly, a petition praying for a dis solution, has received in one day upwards of fift,•en thowand signatures ; and a public Rib seription,• whose amount is already enormous, has been entered into for the express purpose of supporting Ministers at all hazards, and under all cit cumstances ! In fine, let the boroughmongers do what they will, or sty what they please, the fact can no longer be concealed nor denied, that a vast moral revolution is at this very moment in active progress thrAighout the country. The mighty barriers which have for so many ages sepa rated the interests of the upper, from those of t h e middle and lower classes, are one by one giVing way. Rank is fast losing its factitious influence; wealth its undue supremacy. Look at Stamford—at Newark—at Northumberland —a t Aloanlcuth—at Monigomery—at Carmarthen ; look - at these important towns and provinces, and see with what rapidity the old overwhelming autho rity of the EXETER,.—.the NEWCASTLES—the NowrnUAINERLANDS —the NV yNNS, and the DY NEVOR'S, is passing from their hands ! Every where public opinion is asserting its proper right; every where the boyoughtnongers are descending to their proper level. What then becomes of Sir R. PEEL'S statement last night that a re-action has taken place in the public mind; that the people are no longer frantic for Reform. We tell this shallow Statesman, who seems to derive his opinions second-hand from Mr. HUNT, that so far from any reaction having taken place, the country is more deter. mined than ever on Reform. That the people will neither hear of delay, nor vacillation on the subject. 1 hat they will instantly form Committees—sub script ions—Unions —Associations—in every county city, town, and borough, throughout the United Kingdom; in a word, that sooner than have Reform longer delayed, they will agitate ; sooner than lose it, they will fight for it. Already the countiy has fixed its mark on the Anti-Reformers. Not a single Member who voted aga;tist the Bill will be returned ; even the doubt ful; the timid, and the cautions will be rejected. Those who are not with the people, are against them. The cry now is the Bill —the whole Bill—and nothing but the Bill ; and ill order to insure the full and perfect triumph of this Bill, it is necessary that every elector so act, as if on his individual ex ertions hung the salvation of his country. We have authority to state that immediately on the arrival of the news of the defeat of Ministers on General GASCOYNE'S amendments, a special meeting of the Council of the Birmingham Political Union was called, for the purpose of considering the mea sures which it may be proper to adopt, in support of his MAJESTY'S Government at this eventful crisis. The other evening Mr. J. WOOD presented a petition from the Council of the Manchester Poli- tical Union, stating that it was composed of persons of every class in that commercial community, having ample opportunities of knowing the opinions of every grade in the immense population around them, and that their belief was, founded on their own ob servation and the result of every meeting that had been held, that there was an unanimous and earnest wish that the Reform Bill should pass, if not im paired by concessions to the borough faction. These views have this week received a striking combo-. ration. A petition of the working classes in Man chester, praying that the Bill may be passed into a law, has, in one day, received FIFTHEN THOUSAND signatures. These, be it recollected, are the men who have been represented by Mr. HUNT as being oppo'ed to the Bill ! Mr. HUNT has comphined in the House that the report of what be said in Manchester, about laying one-half cf the town in ashes, has been grossly exaggerated, and. that the only correct reports of his speech are what are given in the Manchester Times end the Manchester Advertiser. Now we are in. formed by our Manchester correspondent that the Times does not contain one word of laying the town in ashes ; and that on inquiry at the office, be finds that owing to an accidental pressure of other matter, HUNT'S speech was cut off in the middle, and a few lines of apology for shortening it given in its place So much for this man's matchless honesty Our readers will find in another column, some edifying accounts (from a provincial correspondent) of the way in which the Hon. Member for Pres ton's calumnies have been received at Sheffield and elsewhere. This man's public career henceforth is at an end. His mischievous imbecility, long sus pected, is now universally known. He will never ►:gain be returned for Preston. 'IIIE LO NDON GAZ ETTE OF THIS EVENING. Lord Chamberlain's Office, April 21.

BEECHEY'S VOYAGE TO TIIE PACl ric.—This work completes the series of narratives of Polar Voyages undertaken by order of the British Governinent. Three years and a hall were occupied in performing this voyage of no less than seventy-three thousand miles through every vicissitude of climate. The Monthly Re view thus characterises this delightful work—" Of all the records of adventure or geographical discovery with which modern literature has been so much enriched, we do not know of any production that revels so much of the excitement, e nthusiasm, and deep and affectionate inte rest which we used to take in Capt. Coox's memorable narrative, as the work before us." FEELINGS OF THE COUNTRY ON THE SUBJECT OF REFORM. MR. HUNT AND THE .RE-ACTIO.P.V.F THE PEOPLE. (MOM OUR BIIEFFIELD CORRESPONpENT.) In consequence of Mr. Hunt's extraordinary, uncalled for, and false assertion in the House of Commons last week that - i mac don had taken place in the country against the Reform. Billi anti •hat only 800,000 were for the measure, and 8,000,000 opposed to it, a meeting of the Sheffield Political Uniou Council was held this (Wednesday) evening, when the best mode of giving the lip direct was taken into consideration. From the remarks ; of the different speakers it was evident that the people here were anxious for a public meeting being called immediately, to give at ,nce a refutation to the base, foul, calumny, whichliad- been uttered. The Hon. Member for Preston, however, was consi T dered unworthy of so much importance, as it was unanimously resolved that the President, T. A. Ward, Esq., should be autho rised to write to Lord Morpeth, and assure his Lordship that the men of Hallamshire were unanimous for «the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," and that the assertion of Mr. Hunt Was as unmerited as it is calumnious. It was also resolved, in the event of the Bill not passing, as son as the intelligence reached Shef field, that the Secretary of the Union call the Members together to consider the best means to be adopted in such an emergency. We may just add, that we have made it our business to mix with all classes since the Bill was first introducedinto Parliament, and have no hesitation in affirming that we have not met with one solitary Huntile in the whole town-that is, one who is op, nosed to the general principles of the BilL If the man who has harangued thousands, and bearded them on to bloodshed and do solation, was to visit Sheffield, we do not believe he would be able to command one hearer, unless it was to fling back the Ueda the face of the utterer. So far from the alterations submitted by Lord John Russell on Tuesday night, being considered a deviation from the original Bill, they are hailed as an improvement and worthy of another universal burst of approbation from John o' Groat's to the Land's-end, in Cornwall. If Ministers will only stick true to the general principles of schedules A. and 11., unless where there is an evident error in the population returns, they may reckon with safety on " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether" to enable them to triumph over all the boroughmongering mer chants in the kingdom. All their efforts will avail nothing—no, not even if Hunt's celebrated speech had been printed in gold, and circulated through the country. It is worthy of remark that the parcel of blacking falsehoods sent to this town were consi dered of such a contaodnating nature, that no individual cou ld be found black en oug h t o distribute them in open day, therefore recourse was had to the despicable mode of dropping them in the streets, and pushing them under doors. We wish the Hon. Member could have only heard the groans, the hisses, and the execrations with which this celebrated declaration has been picked up, for the extensive circulation of which the country is indebted to the very men whom he had all his life before denounced as the robbers and plunderers of England —we say we wish he had heard the voice of the people on this occasion, as we are sure he would never again have raised his voice in Parliament, but would have accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and re tired for the remainder of his days into the cellars of his manufactory, or have gone amidst the gloom of his manor of Glastonbury, to enjoy the bribe he has received from the Anti_ Reformers.

They write from Antwerp that some seditious movements took place amongst the troops in the citadel on the 15th, and that General Chasse had great trouble to put them down On the 14th there was an engagement on the side of the West Wezil, between the advanced posts. Letters from Alexandria to the 22d October, state that the French subjects at Cairo were in danger of losing their lives, owing to the great violence exercised against them by the regular troops of the Pacha. Three Frenchmen have been assassinated in the streets. It is stated that the number of prisoners taken by far exceeds the account in the bulletin, and the demoralization in the Russian army was very groat. The national army, which was in want of cannon at the beginning of the campaign, have, at present, a sufficient qu a ntity, w ith a reserve o f forty pieces. The artillery have lost their talisman. Those famous pieces of cannon which were in the campaigns of France and Turkey, have been captured by the Poles ; the Russians used to call them their Grandmother. Extract of a letter from Memel :—" A gentleman who has re turned here from Polangen states, that the whole town has beets burnt by the Russians, in consequence of the insurgents having fired from the houses on the Russians." Private accounts from •Warsaw state that the Polish Com mander-in-Chief, whose headquarters were at Siennica, was near e th as a i t ly of be t; e t a n k e e r i ll n lli fl e a b n i t k sc b h y a a t P G o a l i rw s h 0 , 1 o i n ips , and wh t i h c a h t w Di er eh e i a t r h si eo ed u ti l c d , and in his rear was General Dwerniclu. THE FUNDS. The Express from Paris has brought the speech of the King of the French, which is decidedly looked on both in this country and in Paris as being pacific, but it is evidently in favour of the Belgians. Up to the present time it has not had the least efli.et on our Funds, as our local affairs absorb all foreign politics. At the present moment the 'dissolution, aad nothing but the dl4, solution, occupiek the attention of the public, and it appears the nation is determined to support their King, who is resolved not to desert them, and, no doubt, by this measure, will become the most popular Monarch in the world. Consols, which left off yesterday at 78% 79 for the account, opened at the same price this morning, at which they continue at present. Nearly one million of stock was sold yesterday afternoon, when was known Parliament would be dissolved. • HALF-PAST ONE. The general topic of conversation in the City still relates to the dissolution of Parliament, but some persons imagine that it will be prorogued first. Should his Majesty proceed in person to the House to dissolve his Parliament, eren without an:escort, he will have the satisfaction to witness the enthusiasm of his loyal subjects. The operations of the Bank for narrowing the circulation is going on, as the Bank brokers having brought Exchequer Bills into the market this morning, which have lowered their price to 10s. premium. They are at present from 10s. to 12s. Consols continue steady at 78y4 to 79 for the Account, and for money 79% to 4, with little doing. Not a feature in the Foreign Market worth observation at present. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols 7Si 79. POLISH WAR.

" I have great satisfaction in announcing to the Govern ment that the Polish army obtained a considerable victory yesterday. We have taken several cannons, and 3,000 or 4,000 prisoners, cnuongst whom are nearly 300 officers of different ranks. General Promdzynski, com mending a separate corps, covered himself with glory.

The authoress of the Tales published under the title of " Wedded Life in the Upper Ranks," is, we understand, expected in town in the course of next week, in compliance with the invitation of an illustrious per- - soilage. ITINERANT MAWWORM.--Early in the af ternoon of Tuesday last, a tall fellow, six feet high, dressed in a dark brown coat, pa•sing through Freahfurd, fell down on his knees in the middle of the village, and began vociferating a prayer at the utmost stretch of a voice of stentorian power, and of grinding harshness. He did not appear to labour under mental abarra:ion ; but what he uttered was an irreverent farrago of Scripture phrases, applied without sense or meaning. His audience was com posed of only four individuals of the poorer classes, who knew not whether to laugh or be serious. —Bath Herald. BIRTHS.
