Chapman are mentioned. We see no reason why the Tories should not make the demonstration so often asked of them, but let it be a fair and manly one. If they possess the strength they vaunt of, let them convene an open public meeting in some spacious place, and let the question between us be then tried. To this, in the narn<3 of the Reformers of London, we again challenge them. If they accept it not, they admit their fear of a defeat. We shall watch their proceedings. The parish of St. Mary, Newington, is to meet this evening, at five o'clock. ST. SAVIOUR'S, SOUTHWARK. A very respectable meeting of the inhabitants of this parish, paying scot and bearing lot, was held at five o'clock yesterday evening, in the vestry-room of the church, better known to the public as our " Ladve Chapel," " to take into consideration the present unusual state of public affairs." The proceedings commenced soon after five o'clock. Mr. PARTRIDGE (the senior churchwarden) having been called to the chair, and the vestry clerk having read the notice of the meeting, Mr. LOCK stood there as an independent man to avow his own sentiments, hoping and believing they would be in accordance with those of the respectable assembly which he saw around him. He knew no party but his country, and had no motive but the public good. The people had long complained of grievances. Some of those grievances had been redressed—others still remained behind. They had the Reform Bill—a measure good in itself, but capable of considerable improvement. The suffrage it established was too limited, and its provisions were too exclusive. Every househelder oughP.;•to have tlae,right. of,ypting • out the addition of a ayivitialification ; and t' .n -nial Parliaments shoal rOvil to in order that their representatives mig ore under their - tontroul, and sooner brought to account for their conduct. The odious and oppressive tithe system still continued to exist—a fruitful source of heart-burning, discontent and hatred ; doing more to bring religion into contempt, and alienate men's minds from its Ministers than all the preachings of infidels, or attacks of factious demagogues.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Lock) asked, was it right, was it just, was it equita ble, that men should be taxed for the support of a Church from whose doctrines they dissented, and of which they conscientiously disapproved ? But there was the cry of " The Church is in danger." They were told that if the Church were reformed, religion would be neglected ; that if its ministers were less paid, its doctrines would be disre garded. Away with such hypocrisy ! Miserable subter fuge ! A few mitres might tremble ; lawn sleeves even might be perhaps dispensed with, and overgrown pluralists would be stripped of their exorbitant and disproportionate incomes ; but the meek, pious, working ministers would be remunerated as they ought ; the labourer was worthy of his hire, and of his just reward no man would deprive him.— (Hear.) He confessed he was not an alarmist, and he did not think they any cause to fear. They were too well ac quainted with their rights, and too well aware of the moral power of their position, again to endure a profligate system of government.—(Cheers.). lie hoped the country would shortly tell Sir Robert Peel that the people were not to be gulled with the mere professions and pretences of those who would keep the word of promise to the ear but break it to the sense.—(Cheers.) He now begged to move a series of three resolutions. [The resolutions declared the utter want of confidence of the meeting in any but a reforming Administration, their distrust and suspicion of the Duke of Wellington, and their anxiety for the appointment of Ministers whose known po litical opinions would be a guarantee for their conduct.] Mr. SMITH seconded the resolutions. Mr. SHEARS moved au amendment. On the question being put, only two hands were held up for the amendment. The original resolutions were, conse quently, carried by a large majority. Mr. CROSBY moved the fourth resolution, pledging the meeting to triennial Parliaments, household suffrage without pecuniary qualification, and the vote by ballot. Mr. Locx seconded it. Mr. WILD opposed the resolution. The resolution was unanimously carried, as was an ad dress to the King founded upon the resolutions, which was moved by Mr. Lock, and signed by the warden on behalf of the meeting. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meet ing separated. STATE OF PUBLIC OPINION IN THE COUNTRY. DERBY, ADDRESS TO LORD MELBOURNE. (From the Derby Mercury of Wednesday.) On Monday, an Address was presented to Lord Mel bourne, from the Reformers at Derby, at Melbourne Hall. A short time before twelve o'clock, a number of gentlemen assembled about half a mile from Melbourne, and formed themselves into a procession, which drew up near the church, and shortly afterwards Lord Melbourne, in his car riage, entered the assembly. R. F. FORRESTER, Esq., M.D., presented the address, of which the following is a copy " " To the Right Hon. Viscount Melbourne. " We, the undersigned electors and inhabitants of the bo rough of Derby, embrace the present opportunity of express ing to your Lordship the sincere respect which we feel for your Lordship's personal character and public conduct, and our great satisfaction with the general course of liberal and enlightened policy pursued by the Government during the period which yourself and colleagues constituted a part of the Administration of the venerable and consistent Statesman Earl Grey ; and more especially we beg emphatically to testify our gratitude for the great and glorious measures, the reform in the representation of the people and the abolition of slavery. Looking also with entire confidence to those further and salu tary improvements in Church and State which were expected from your Lordship's united Administration, it is almost superfluous for us to say how deeply we regret the late sud den dismissal of yourself and colleagues from his Majesty's Councils, in a manner the most extraordinary, and, as we believe, nearly unprecedented in the annals of our history, since the accession of the House of Hanover to the throne of these realms. In giving utterance to these our sentiments at this momentous crisis, we venture frankly to confess that we had felt some degree of disappointment at what appeared to us an unnecessary delay in the introduction of several measures of considerable importance, during the last Session of• Parliament. We now, however, feel ourselves bound in candour to admit that, surrounded by difficulties not easy to overcome, and thwarted by the intrigues and opposition of the Tory party, we clearly perceive the causes to which such delay on the part of the late Administration ought to be attributed. " This view of the subject suggests to us to remark that the circumstance of your having met with impediments in those quarters where, on the contrary, support might justly have been expected, entitles your Lordship to the confidence of the peo ple; affording, as it does, a decisive proof of the efficiency of those measures which were generally understood to have been in active preparation. " In taking leave of your Lordship, we beg to assure you that, though disappointed and disgusted by those recent events, which occupy the mind and the attention of every man, we entertain the strongest conviction that ultimately the cause of liberty and good government will triumph over the expiring efforts of a faction which too long has ruled the destinies of this great nation, and we trust that, by the combined and zealous exertion of its constitutional powers and privileges, a ,:d by the brilliant display of public opinion, the dark cloud w hi c h pow hangs over it will, ere long, be happily dispelled from the polit:.:!al horizon." Lord MELBonisNE then addressed the assembly to the following effect :—His Lordship commenced by acknow ledging the respectable deputation from Derby, who had presented him with the address just read, in which his con duct as Prime Minister, and his political principles, were so handsomely noticed. The justice of the important sen timents contained in that address it would be impossible for any candid man to deny. In those sentiments he heartily concurred ; and he trusted to see them carried into practical effect, prudently, temperately, and cautiously. Whatever influence be possessed should be directed to the furtherance of the great ends contemplated by them. In reference to the immediate cause of the dissolution of the late Ministry, to which the address especially pointed, his Lordship said it was undoubtedly to be attri buted to the death of Lord Spencer, which deprived the Government of their leader in tho House of Commons. That Government bad been formed mainly on the talents, character, and manly conduct of Lord Althorp : and the House of Commons never showed greater appreciation of character or stronger sagacity than when it attached itself so prominently to that nobleman, whose simplicity of na ture and honesty of purpose are far more valuable than the possession of those more specious and imposing ta lents which were apparent in other men. As an enlight ened statesman and incorruptible patriot, he was eminently conspicuous. The death of Earl Spencer, however, hav ing deprived the Government of his services in the lower House of Parliament, it becam e his (Lord Melbourne's) duty to take the pleasure of his Majesty, and make the requisite arrangements for r filling up t h e deficiency. It was sufficient to say , that in taking thug steps h i s Ma jesty intimated to him that be would not impose upon him that task ; but that he intended to resort for that purpose to other counsellors. In saying this , however, he (Lord Melbourne) did not me an to have it i n f err ed that he personally a~,rieved by his Gracious 'Ma s t er had any Wet "1/salito feel h th is e d K e i c n is g io c n ou w ld as not i n no be uset,n,. by ivromq Enotiv 9 s end the .44 With, ' se to be . founu ta„.._ could not help saying, notwithstanding, that the dissom- A tion of the Cabinet had occurred abruptly, and at a time when the public mind was in a state of especial calm and quiet. His Lordship then referred to the many reports that had been put forth by the public press, as it respected the audience he had on that occasion with the King. These were full of falsehood. Every rumour had been seized upon, and, although it was the nature of the press to seize upon every statement in important cases, and although he on ordinary occasions did not blame such proceedings, yet. in the present one, it had undoubtedly far overstepped the truth, and resorted to the publication of statements none of which were correct. Circumstances had been stated as facts which were utterly false, and where any appearance of truth seemed to be made out, or had any just founda tion, it was so perverted as to be calculated to more mis lead the public than absolute falsehood itself. His Lord ship then proceeded to contradict the - assertion made in publications, assuming to come from authority, that the late Cabinet had been dissolved by internal divisions. Nothing of this sort would at all hare led to its breaking up if the King had not dissolved it. " I beg," said his Lordship, " to give a clear, distinct, and emphatic denial to this assump tion. That some shades of difference on important mea sures did exist, and would always exist, might be the case ; but that any such variation in sentiment has caused the event is erroneous and untrue." In re ference to other subjects, he (Lord Melbourne) would speak not in the voice of discontent, but of friendly caution. Attacks had been made upon the late Government by those persons to whom they ought rather to have looked for support. These attacks were mainly attributable to the strong resolutions put forth by the Dissenters in reference to the connection between Church and State. The efforts of this class of the com munity had made a great change in many influential quar ters, and had encouraged their political opponents—oppo nents powerful as a party, in property and opinion, and of uncompromising character. Reformers were strong in principles, in the sense and justice of their demands. They bad the sympathy of a large body of the country, but he `(Lord ,Melbourne) would ll them that they were not strong . nougli to ~,13.e.,,disunited: -- A - weak party in point of numhe ", if uniteB,. would be found in the conflict more powerful than a larger one in disunion. His Lordship then alluded to the delay on the intro duction of measures, as stated in the address. The excuse there assigned, however, he would. not accept. He was bound to say that many of the obstacles as sumed as reasons did not exist, at least he believed not. With respect to reforms in Church and State, and in the Municipal Corporations, these were grave and important questions. Measures, however, with regard to the first, had been taken to obtain accurate information, and in the next session of Parliament it was intended to have founded a beneficial change. As to the Corporations, nothing, it was evident, could have been done until the Commissioners' reports had been published. He would say, however, that nothing required greater reform than this question. Corporations were calculated to introduce divi sion ; to set one class of men against another, especially in large towns. To this system might, in a great measure, be attributed the riots at Bristol, Szc., the Corporations being by their nature unfitted for populous places. No Govern ment could long exist which refused to take this matter into its serious consideration. His Lordship concluded by saying, that in attaining these objects his assistance would be readily given. The people, however, must proceed by constitutional means, and if there were to be a collision be tween the two Houses of Parliament, that party which should first overstep the bounds of duty and justice would ultimately fail, and effectually diminish that authority which it ought to extend. His Lordship was most rapturously cheered on resuming his seat. [We have been obliged to give rather an abstract of Lord Melbourne's address than the address itself, from the impossibility of being able to report literally, as was our fate, in a crowd. The sentiments and opinions, however, of his Lordship are accurately stated.] SCOTLAND. PAISLEY. On Wednesday evening, in terms of public advertisement, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Paisley was held in the Low Church. On the motion of Mr. DAVID WALLACE, Provost Har die was called to the chair with acclamation. Mr. KENNEDY moved the first resolution, which was se conded by Mr. JA➢IES FLEMING. Mr. M'FARLANE moved the remaining resolutions, the last of which expressed the opinions of that meeting to be, that the House of Commons should stop the usual Govern ment supplies if the Duke of Wellington persisted in re taining office. Mr. JOHN DUNLOP seconded the resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to. Mr. HENDERSON moved the Address to the King. Mr. ROBERT SHAW seconded it. The Address was then put from the chair, and having been carried by acclamation, the large assembly, which filled the church in every quarter, quietly dispersed. ABERDEEN. A meeting of the inhabitants generally was held here on Saturday, the Lord Provost in the chair. It was called by Mr. Bannerman, that he might give an account of his stewardship as the city Representative. He addressed the meeting p.t considerable length. In alluding to his reason s for believing the probability of a dissolution, he spoke as follows :—" I have various reasons for thinking so, but one will suffice—l am convinced the Duke of Wellington has accepted office on principles diametrically opposed to those of the late Administration, and to those of a large majority of the present House of Commons. The Duke of Wel lington has repeatedly recorded all his political sentiments during the late session of Parliament. He is not the man to chancre his principles. If he is to carry on the Govern ment of the country, Parliament will assuredly be dissolved. Of course I cannot tell whether the Duke or Sir R. Peel will be the Premier. It is a curious circumstance that before the dismissal of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues, it was known in Aberdeen that the Premiership, in the event of a change of Government, would be offered to Sir R. Peel by the Duke of Wellington." Mr. Bannerman's exposition of his Parliamentary conduct met the cordial approval of the meeting. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1834. CUMBERNAULD. A public meeti;;;Ftii;lnbabitants of the parish o f Cumbernauld was held in the parish church, on Tuesday last, at two o'clock P.M. Mr. Millar, baron bailie was called to the chair. Some Anti-Tory resolutions, and an address to the King, were unanimously adopted. D UNSE. The dismissal of Lord Melbourne's Administration, and the intrusting the Duke of Wellington with the formation of a Ministry, created a strong sensation in Dunse. A meeting of the Reformers in consequence took place on Friday in the Relief Chapel, Mr. Gray, merchant, in the chair. A committee was appointed of those friendly to li beral principles, to be ready to act with other district com mittees, in case of emergency, and to secure, in the event of a dissolution, the independence of Berwick. FORFAR. A public meeting was held in the Town Hall, on Monday last, for the purpose of addressing his Majesty against re taining the Duke of Wellington, or any of his party in his councils. Various resolutions to this effect were adopted, and a committee appointed to prepare the address, which has been unanimously adopted. MONTROSE. On Thursday a public meeting of the citizens, convened by the Provost, was held in the Town-hall, when the dis missal by his Majesty of the reform Ministers was declared a matter deeply to be regretted. BRECHIN. On Monday the inhabitants of this city met in the Town Hall, and voted an address to his Majesty, requesting. of him to dismiss the Tories from his Cabinet. The meeting was held at twelve o'clock, and the address was forwarded by that post to Lord Holland. Although only two hours were allowed for signing the address, nearly seven hundred names were attached to it. The incorporated trades met the same evening, and voted a similar address, which was forwarded by Tuesday's post to Lord Holland. The Guildry Incorporation also unanimously agreed to address the King. C UMN 0 CK. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Cumnock, held on Friday evening, it was unanimously agreed that an Anti- Tory address be presented to his Majesty. ANSTRUTHER EASTER. The liberal members of the Town Council of this burgh, though opposed by certain of the Bailies, met in the Town Hall on Friday last, when a draft of a memorial was sub mitted and agreed to, with only one dissentient voice, ex pressive of their unfeigned regret at hearing that his Ma jesty had been pleased to part with the services of an en lightened and liberal Ministry. BANFF. A public meeting of the inhabitants was held on the 24th November—the Provost in the chair—at which an Anti l'ot;address to the King was moved by Bailie Allan, and carried unanimously, The incorporated trades of the town net on the 0 5th, and agreed to a similar address. • Meetings, with the same object, have also been held at Kilmarnock, Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose, Bathgate, Linlith- Sow, Alloa ; Balfron, Strathrniqo, Cum p ock, Salteoats, teN'ensOn, Ararossail;Ptee; kiPgh`oru, 111(41nieii,.tkun fprAline,-40rtfier•-04Fe.-- Indeed, .the tone' f'rOn: both 6c4444 au c l fielpd ? strong, bold, 'decided, and upani r•t_. • • moos ; the Tories not even venturing to show themselves in any part, so completely has the public indignation been aroused. NEWBURGH. On Tuesday an address from our magistrates and town council was dispatched to Sir J. Campbell, in order to be presented to the King, deprecating the appointment of the Duke of Wellington to form a Cabinet. Friday night a public meeting of the inhabitants was to be held in the Town-hall on the same subject. FRASERBURGH. At a public meeting of the inhabitants of this town, on Thursday last, an Anti-Tory address to the King was unanimously adopted. The meeting, though called upon a few hours' notice, was numerously attended. IRELAND. MONA GHAN-CARRICKMA CROSS. On Monday a very numerous and most respectable meet ing of the constituents of Mr. Serjeant Perrin, the member for this county was held, Thomas Murphy, Esq., in the chair, when the following resolution was adopted by the unanimous voice of the numerous assemblage : That we have read with feelings of the deepest concern, the'determination of his Majesty to take to his councils the common enemy of freedom and the almost sworn enemy of the most valued rights of Irishmen—those who stood at the doors of the temple of the constitution to repel the prayers of a suppliant and loyal people, until the force of public opinion, and the march of liberal sentiments, compelled them to bend their heads and acknowledge their rights, which they endea voured to extinguish." It was also arranged that a meeting of the Liberal Club should be held in the course of the week, when a fit and proper colleague for Mr. Perrin will be selected to fight the battle of the Reformers. CORK. On Monday, i one of the most important meetings held in this city for inttmy years past assembled in the spacious area of ihe'DitArefna. The was thronged to excess, and the utmost' spirit prevailed amongst them. As one man, it breathed determined and undying hostility to the Duke of Wellington and the Tories. Upon the platform, which was perilously crowded, we observed Daniel Callaghan, M.P., Herbert Baldwin, M.P., Feargus O'Connor, M.P., Garrett Standish Barry, M.P., William Fagan, Thomas S. Coppin ger, J.P., Daniel Meagher, James Daly, Dr. Lyons, Dr. M'Sweeny Macrame, Dr. M'Carthy, the Very Reverend Dr. Kirwan, the Rev. Mr. M'Carthy, Captain Galway, Captain O'Byrne, Joseph Hayes, Richard Ronayne, Paul M'Sweeny, O'Mahony Jeremiah O'Sullivan, Daniel O'Sul livan, Daniel Murphy, Jeremiah Murphy, and Thomas Sheehan, Esqs. ; and many more of the wealth, rank, and importance of Cork and its vicinity. William Craford, jun., and Francis Bernard Bemish, Esqs., were to have moved and seconded resolutions ; but in consequence of the death of the father of the former gentleman, they were unable to attend. WILLIAM FAGAN, Esq. was called to the chair, amid loud cheering. He said the Tories should be crushed effec tually and for ever, or backward rolled the tide of reform again. —(Cheering.) He begged to tell them one circum stance which had occurred a few hours since ; it would give a good illustration of the manner in which the Duke of Wellington intended to govern. They all knew Arthur O'Connor—(Continued cheers) —the Whigs had given him permission to revisit the shores of his native country, to which he bad been a stranger for thirty-five years. He had been exiled from that country which he loved so well ; and the good policy of a reforming Ministry had permitted him to return to arrange his property. This day the old man received a letter from the Duke of Wellington's own band, ordering him to be gone !---(A burst of deep indignation from the entire meeting.)—After some farther observations the Chairman sat down. D A NIEZCATI: CALLAGHAN, M.P., Esq., rose to propose the first resolution. _ . Dr. BALDWIN, M. P. seconded the resolution amid uni versal cheering. There never could be peace or prosperity while the Tories were in power. They should be broken —(Cheers)--obliterated as a faction, crushed, extermi nated ; for while they were suffered to exist, the liberties of the people were in danger.—(Loud cheers, during which the Learned Doctor withdrew.) FEARGUS O'CONNOR, Esq., M. P., next addressed the meeting ; he denounced in the most unmeasured language the Duke of Wellington and the Tories. As the Chair man had spoken of his uncle, he would say that oven Castlereagh—that miscreant—had promised him what the the Whigs gave him leave to return and arrange his affairs. We perceive also by the Irish papers, that various meetings have been held in Tralee, Galway, Kilmore, Enniscorthy, Moncoin, Carrigeen, Belfast, Wexford, Wa terford, &c., in which resolutions condemnatory of the recent change, and for, the formation of anti-Tory asso ciations, have been agreed to. ELECTION NEWS AND RUMOURS. ARBROATIL—We understand the Hon. Fox Maule was ap plied to by a number of electors in Arbroath, to come forward for that district of burghs, and that he returned an answer de clining the honour, but requesting their support to Mr. Chal mers. Mr. C. has met with a warm reception both in Mon trose and Arbroath, and we have no doubt that a short time will show Mr. Ross, that neither himself nor his friend need appear in those burghs as an adherent of the Duke. Mr. Mr. Hallyburton addressed the county electors y es t er d a y (Thursday) at Kirriemuir. Sir James Carnegie opposes him. —Caledonian Mercury. ABERDEENSIIIRE.—The reports which have been very gene rally circulated, that Colonel Leith Hay is to be a candidate . for the representation of the county of Aberdeen, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, are entirely without foundation. Colonel Leith Hay will continue to represent the Elgin dis trict of burghs. BERWICK-UPON-TWEED.—The Reformers of Berwick have resolved to . re-elect Sir Francis Blake free of expense, and have entered into a liberal subscription for that purpose. We hope other towns will follow this good example. The friends of Sir Rufane Donkin are also on the alert. Colonel Beres ford declines coming forward on the Tory interest. CHATHAM. —We printed yesterday, by mistake, the name of Captain Elliot instead of that of Captain Byng, as the present member for Chatham. The latter gentleman comes forward again. • DROITWICH.—A Conservative opposition to Mr. Foley is commenced, without, however, the slightest chance of success, in the person of Mr. J. Barneby, of Brockhamton, near Bromyard. DVItIIAM SOUTH).—The Duke of Wellington is in very bad odour in this part of the country. The liberal electors are be stirring themselves, and we understand that steps are already taken for calling into the field again, in the event of a dissolu tion, Joseph Pease, Esq., and John Bowes, Esq. Both of these gentlemen are tried Reformers of a very liberal cast, and are deservedly popular among their constituents. At a meeting held at the Fleece Inn, Darlington, on Thursday last, it was stated to be Mr. Pease's intention again to offer himself. EAST LOTHIAN.—Mr. Fergusson, of Raith, has agreed to stand for East Lothian, in which he possesses a very large estate, and we learn that no doubt is entertained of his suc cess. This will leave his present seat open to a Liberal can didate. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. Fer gusson for the spirited example set by him. HALIFAX.-Mr. Protheroe, late M. P. for Bristol, is in the field here. A public meeting was held on S a t ur d a y, J ona th an Akroyd, Esq., in the chair, which Mr. P. attended, and de clired his political sentiments in favour of re f orm i n ever y shape—the Ballot, short Parliaments, the Pension List, &c. Mr. Protheroe was listened to with great approbation; and the meeting, though it comprised Reformers who differed in various particulars, displayed perfect unanimity. Mr. Briggs, one of the present members, is to retire in the event of a dia. solution : and Mr. J. S. Wortley, unsuccessful at the last election, is to be brought forward by the Conservatives. The return of Mr. Protheroe and of Mr. Wood, one of the present members, is considered certain. HADDINGYON COUNTY.-Mr. Balfour, the late Tory Mem ber, has resigned, and Mr. John Thomas Hope has announced himself a candidate. The latter does not say one word about his principles, but these are pretty well known. He is the son of Sir Alexander Hope, Member for West Lothian, and is the same person who received a dinner from the Manchester Tories, when he was sent down by Sir Robert Peel, and de feated in his attempt to oppose Mr. Poulett Thomson. He is exactly such a man as the inveterate friends of misrule wish to have in, and the people to keep out. We hope the spirit of John Knox yet survives in his native county, and that it will find a more worthy representative than this scion of the Tory aristocracy. --Scotsman. INVERNESS (County).—Macleod, of Macleod, has already taken the field against the Right Hon. Charles Grant. LYMINGTON, DEC. 3.—Sir H. Neale has just announced his intention of retiring from the representation of this bo rough. Two candidates are already in the field. Mr. W. A. Mackinnon, of Tory notoriety, and Mr. Scott, a Reformer, who has recently gone to reside at Lymington. There is still a most auspicious opening here for a gentleman of talent and liberal principles. We hope such an one will present himself. MA RYLEBONE.-Mr. Charles Rawle, a gentleman well known for his liberal principles, has intimated to the Radicals of St. Marylebone, that should Mr. Murphy not offer himself as a candid a t e at the ensuing election, he will do so. NOTTINGHAM.—An address is in the course of signature, among the electors there, to Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Bart., expressing their approbation of his conduct in declining the in vitation of the electors of Westminster, which is already repre sented by two Reformprs, and inviting him to offer himself apin, NOR T IIIIII I3tRLAND.—Mr. Beaumont has announced himself for the Southern Division, and Lord Howick has addressed the electors of the Northern Division, declaring' his determi nation to come f orwar d aga i n . The following is an extract from his Lordshipts address :—" In the constitution of the House of Vommons, I will frankly avow to yell 014 I am u prepared to suptiort any further changes. 13'y the Reform Act the reresentative system has been rut urn a footinq whichi if not absolutely perfect, seems to me calculated to produce all the practical good which we have a right to expect from it. The people have now an effectual controul over their repre sentatives, and through them over the Government of the country; and it appears to me, therefore, to be our duty, in stead of aiming at further alterations in the constitution of the Legislature, to apply ourselves to the consideration of the means by which an improved system of government may be made to produce the greatest amount of public advantage." PERTHSHIRE.—We are happy to learn that there is reason to expect that the Hon. Fox Maule, Lord Panmure's eldest son, will come forward for the representation of the county of Perth, with great prospect of success. SURRE/ (WEST).—We are happy to hear that Mr. Hankey, of Feteham, a gentleman of liberal and enlightened principles, is already in the field for this county, against the Tory can didate Mr. Scarlett. WHlTBY.—Whitby is at this time in all the turmoil of a contested election. Captain C. B. Phipps, brother to the Earl of Mulgrave, has come forward on the liberal side, and addressed the electors, on Friday last, in a speech of great abi lity. Mr. Chapman, a Tory, the present member, is the other candidate, and has likewise addressed the electors. THE CHURCH. ( From the Hamburg Reporter.) TRANSLATION OF THE CONCESSIONS GRANTED TO THE ENG LISH EPISCOPAAL CONGREGATION OF HAMBURGH. 1. The persons belonging to the English Episcopal congre gation at present residing, or who may hereafter come to re side, in our state, have the free exercise of their religion under our protection according to Article .1 of the regula tions of October 20, 1834. 2. They have the liberty of performing divine service in a proper building within the city, and are authorised to build and arrange at their own expense a suitable edifice for that purpose upon a spot to be approved of and assigned to them on the Zenghaumarkt. The plan itself, with the estimates, to be previously given in to the Deputation for the Ecclesias tical Affairs of the Christian non• Lutheran Community for the purpose of obtaining our approval. 3. It is entirely left to the members of the Episcopal Con gregation, in regard to all cases and disputes which may by any chance happen among them concerning . points of religion and doctrine, to apply the proper Ecclesiastical authorities for decision according to the precepts or rules of their church, but in all other and similar cases having a reference to this license the decision is to be left to the constitutional autho rities of this city, and in case of the incompetency of the ju dicial police authorities, then the existing Deputation for the Ecclesiastical or Christian non-Lutheran Community is to de cide, from whose decision they are at liberty to appeal to our extra-judicial decision only, and not to resort to any Court of Justice or any other legal remedy. 4. The Chaplains or any other Clergyman of the English Episcopal Church, being appointed according to the laws and regulations of their own country, are to be presented by the directors or wardens of the congregation to the above-men tioned Deputation, in order to obtain our sanction for the exer cise of their office. The directors or wardens must also give notice to the Deputation of the election of school-masters, or ganists, and other servants of the church. - 5. The Clergymen of the English Episcopal Church are to conduct themselves peaceably and quietly in their ministry in this place ; to refrain from all controversies and offensive ex pressions against the evangelical Lutheran religion; to treat the ministry of this place with love and respect ; and to claim no menstrual rights. 6. All the before-mentioned persons, Clergymen, school masters, and other servants of the Church, are like all other such persons of other confessions, by virtue of the ecclesias tical jurisdiction and diocese right belonging to us in our ter ritory, subject to our jurisdiction alone. As regards, however, decisions on their creed and their doctrines, Article 3 remains in force. They must become bound to the city, pay those taxes to which the members of the ministry here and the ser vants of the city churches are liable. Those servants of the Church who carry on trade in the city are obliged to become ci tizens, and like all other citizens liable to pay contributions. 7. The usual and extraordinary festivals appointed for our States are also to be celebrated in the church of the English Episcopal eongregation, as far as the celebration is not con trary to their religious principles. All orders and notifications to be published in the city churches not relating to the con science and religion, if required by us, must also be proclaimed in the English Episcopal Church. The prayers for us, the burgesses, and for the whole State are to be arranged accord ing to the prayers appointed in the city churches. 8. The extraordinary collections to be ordered by us in the city churches for particular objects are also to be appointed in the church of the English Episcopal congregation, and the money collected to be paid to the before-mentioned Deputa tion by the appointment of ordinary collections for charitable purposes during their divine service, as also the proper distri bution and application of the same are left solely to their di rectors and warders. 9. All publications of the banns of marriage, without ex ception, must be made in the city churches and in the church of the parish where the bride, on account of her residence, is settled. Should the bride be living abroad, then the banns must be published in the church of the parish where the bride groom resides. But the members of the English Episcopal congregation are at liberty besides that to have the banns pub lished in their church. If one of the parties should belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church, then the marriage must be performed by a Lutheran Clergyman of the church where the banns were published. If both parties are respectively at tached to another religion they are at liberty to have the cere mony performed by their Clergymen ; but in any case of a marriage intended to be celebrated here the license must be applied for at the wedde, and the regular fees paid, the same as are generally paid by the Lutheran inhabitants. 10. In regard to christenings the parents are at liberty to have their children christened by a Lutheran Clergyman of the parish where they reside, or by their own Clergyman. In the first case they are to be registered in the register of christen ings of the parish where the parents reside, but the parents are at liberty, however, even when the children have been chris tened by the Clergyman of the English Episcopal congrega tion, to have them registered in the church books of the parish. 11. The Clergymen of the English Episcopal congrega tion have to keep a faithful register in their church books of their christenings and marriages, according to their official duties, and in this respect they must observe the existing re gulations, and such as in future may be made. In particular, they are referred to those made by decree of the Senate and citizens of the 16th of Novemeer, 1815, and published on the 30th of the same month, concerning the registering of births, marriages, and deaths. 12. In all cases where the members of the English Epis copal congregation are obliged to or voluntarily call in the Lutheran Clergyman to perform their office according to ar ticles 7 and 8 the usual fees are to be paid to them, as also the lawful fees of the Church officials entitled to demand the same. However, persons in good circumstances are at liberty to give more. 13. The members of the English Episcopal congregation are at liberty to choose their churchwardens from among themselves, and are also authorised to choose and appoint their directors, under the name of a Committee for the Affairs of the Congregation. Notice of the election must each time be given to the Deputation for the Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Christian non-Lutheran Community. _ _ The churchwardens or other persons of the congregation re. gularly authorised, have, without prejudice to our chief autho rity, the superintendence over the Church, the distribution of the alms collected and ordinary collections, the management of the common property and capital, and they shall certainly be protected by us in their offices ; but they must not pret , i d to or claim any further privileges, particularly those with the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, which - connected nave reserved to ourselves alone. We besides reserve to ourselves an eventful constitutional alteration of this fervice at our discretion, according to time and circumtances. In virtue thereof, we have caused one of our secretaries to subscribe this concession, and to affix to it our official seal. Done at Hamburg, Jan. 17, 1834. Ex Speciale Commissione Amplissima Senatus Hambur gensis, (Signed) EDWARD BANKS, Dr. L. S. Republic Hamburgensis Secretarius Subscripse. It cannot be too much impressed on all classes of liberals, that they ought to merge their differences, and think only of combating most effectually the common enemy. We understand that Mr. Henry Hobhouse means to follow the advice given to him by his brother Sir John Hobhouse. An example has been set by William Empson, Esq., which we trust will be generally followed under similar circumstances. An address had been sent to him from a number of the electors of Lincoln, inviting him to stand for the representation of that city. Mr. Empson expressed himself highly flattered by the invitation, but stated that his opinions coincided with those of Mr. Heneage ; and although in some points he dif fered with Mr. Bulwer, the other member, still he agreed with him in so many, that he could think of opposing him at a time when the closest union among the friends of Reform was essential to the best interests of the country. In no case ought a liberal to displace a roved liberal. The rallyi ng point ought to be uncompromising opposition to the treache rous resumption of power by Wellington and his associates._ Morning Chronicle. THE TEA TRADE.—The East India Company's sale is still proceeding heavily, Congous fetching full one penny per lb. lower than last sale. Up to the close of busi ness at the India House yesterday, about 45,000 chests had passed the sale. The Postboy has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope with a cargo of teas under rather peculiar circum stances. The vessel, which is a small one, reached the Cape from America on the 7th of September, laden with tea, which, it is stated, she landed, and, having reshipped her cargo, sailed for the port of London on the 17th of the same month, and ar rived in the river a few days since, and the teas brought in her have been entered for home consumption. The cargo of the Postboy is as follows :---.920 chests of Bohea in Congou pack ages, 197 chests of Caper, 130 chests of Hyson, 86 chests of Gunpowder, and 90 chests of young Hyson, making a total of 1,623 chests and boxes. The arrival of the Pyramus has not yet been announced. WENTWORTH AND Co.'s BANKRUPTCY.--The fourth divWe.nd under this bankruptcy has been declared, and the time fixed for its payment.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is passing strange that the Times continues to justify the usurpation of the Duke of Wellington by the precedent of Mr. Spring Rice, who, he says, " held the same offices in the summer, while all his colleagues were running about the country ; " that is to say, Mr. Spring Rice held the same offices as the Duke of Wellington now holds. Somehow or other, about small things as well as great things, the Times must lie. The Duke of Wellington is First Lord of the Treasury now. Was Mr. Spring Rice First Lord of the Treasury, or did he act as such in the summer ? He did not. Lord Melbourne was either in London, or within twenty-five miles of London, the whole time. The Duke of Wel lington holds the seals of the Foreign department now : did Mr. Spring Rice hold them during the sum mer, or act as Foreign Secretary ? He did not. Lord Palmerston was in London nearly the whole time, and transacted the business of his office as usual.—The Duke of Wellington is Secretary of State for the Home Department. Was Mr. Spring Rice the head of that department, or did he act as such in the summer ? He had occasion to actformally for Lord Duncannon on one or two occasions ; but Lord Duncannon himself was acting as Home Secretary in Ireland, and was in daily communication with his own department in Lon don.—The Duke of Wellington is Colonial Secretary now. So was Mr. Spring Rice during the summer ; but the Duke has every other place, or, as the Times confesses, " has concentrated nearly all the powers of the Government, save only those of Chancellor, in one and the same individual ;" whereas Mr. Spring Rice had no office except his own. In fact, all his colleagues carried on the business of their offices, whether in London or not ; and there was no concentration of the powers of Government, either in Mr. Spring Rice, or any other individual.— There is no similarity betweer, the two cases. The Times knows this as well as, we do ; but it must lie; it loves a fib, to its heart, and is never in such good humour with itself as when it comes out with a superb falsehood, "splendide 7nendas. " The Times goes on to declare that it " cannot gainsay" that there is an " inconvenience" in this concentration system. " Inconvenience I!" A pretty word. Why, not much inconvenience, for the matter of that : things go on smoothly enough ; the sun rises and sets—the earth turns on its axis, without fresh oiling ; and so far as mere inconvenience goes, Sir Robert Peel is no more wanted now than he was before the 15th of No vember. Indeed, for our part, we should prefer the undisguised, single sway of the Duke of Wel lington, to the sham division of places and power amongst a dozen of his puppets. But it seems we are to have Bertrand et Raton done into English, and performed by his Majesty's ser vants at the theatres now building at West minster ; and whilst the Duke is the " Minister," the real master and maker of the plot, our sleek Sir Robert is to be the Mercer of the drama. He is to be the idol of the people, and the plaything of Par liament. The Duke, to be sure, is now every thing ; but, poor man, he is to be anything or nothing, the moment Sir Robert returns, and is made man-milliner to the Court. But the Mercer's return is very uncer tain ; and it is amusing to see what efforts ale made to allay the natural impatience of the people for the arrival of their favourite. A fortnight ago, he was expected next day ; a week passed, and he was then positively arrived at Paris, and would be here in a day or two ; some said that he was on his way, not to Rome, but Home ; and even yesterday, though he was confessedly on the banks of the Tiber on the 18th, and the Queen's page will not have reached him until the 25th of November, it was currently reported that he had arrived in Privy Gardens during the night. This anxious expectation is too much for our sensibili ties. We wish the Mercer were arrived with all our, heart.—Morning Chronicle. We quite agree with the Standard, that the Duke of Wellington must make his election between the Conservatives and the Reformers. We have no doubt that he will endeavour to feed both parties with hopes, and postpone, as long as he can, a precise declaration. of his views. But there are many honest men amoug the Conservatives, and they will not allow him, to throw out promises of Reform, even though he might assure them privately that his object in so doing was to deceive the Liberals. The Standard of last night fairly allows that the real cause of the dismissal of the Melbourne Cabinet was their intended Reform of the Church, thus admitting that the whole of the state ments of apprehended future disagreement in that Ca binet, from former diversity of opinion, was a mere tub to the whale. " It is our conviction (says the Standard) that neither the extravagancies of Lord Brougham, nor the virulence of Lord Durham, neither Mr. Littleton's mean and dishonest practicer, nor the incompetency of Mr. Charles Grant, nor Lord Pal merston's weak and contemptible foreign policy, no, nor alt together, could have rendered the dismissal of the late Cabinet so popular, as undoubtedly it is with all intelligent and upright men, but for the avowed hostility of that Cabinet to the Esta blished Church. So satisfied are we of this, as to be con vinced that any Government which shall give cause for sus picion that it is tainted with like hostility, or even with indif ference, must make way for Lord Durham and his gang in three months. If the late Cabinet have not been dismissed consequently on account of its hostility to the Church, it has much cause to complain—to complain, not only of dismissal without an adequate motive, but of gross misrepresentation by the Conservative Press, as well as by the Ti mes it se lf. Th e late Cabin e t, however, has no such caus e t o complain—it Ras dismissed up on strictly religious grounds--it was dismissed because a majority of its members meditated. connivance at a partial extinction of Protestantism in Ireland,' to use Lord Kenyon's words ; a partial extinction, involving 4 persecuting and exterminating principle, that must have rendered the ex tinction ultimately complete." That is at all events speaking out in a manly man ner. The Melbourne Minist ry was dismissed because it wished to reform the kiaring abuses of the Protest ant Church of Irek n d, which is dear to the Conserva tiConserva- tiveson ncr;Ount of those ve r y a b uses . T o h ave a Pr°t ( 7.,;ant Church Establishment for a Catholic po "pulation is not merely a scandalous misappropriation of public property, but a constant source of heartburn mg, and the cause of many of the evils that retard the improvement of Ireland. It was known that the Mel bourne Ministry meant to reform the Church of ire. land in good earnest, and this, as is honestly admitted by the Standard, really led to its dismissal. The Duke of Wellington has obtained power, because he will either preserve all the abuses of the Church of Ireland, or amuse the people with pretended reforms, merely veiling over the deformity. He cannot, if he would, concede any effective reform, and he must, there fore, throw himself boldly into the arms of the Conserva tives. The Standard combats the mistake of its new ally the Times, that Lord Kenyon's letter can be embarrassing to the Government about to be formed. " The strength of the new Government," says our evening contemporary, " can be found no where but in the religious feeling of the people, and in their at tachment to the Church. We know of no other com mon principle of union among Conservatives ; there is nothing else that we can see to combine an anti revolutionary party." By attachment to the Church, is meant attachment to the vicious distribution of Church property, to fat bishoprics, to deans and chap ters, to golden prebends, to pluralities and non-resi dence, and poor and subservient curates. But with this explanation we admit the force of our contemporary's argument. The Conservatives cannot b e re f ormers of the Church, for the great principles of union among Conservatives is the preservation of Church abuses. The Duke, therefore, by renouncing all his former opi nions, by professing himself a zealous reformer, will not conquer the distrust of Reformers, who would only think him a wolf in sheep's clothing ; but - ne will assuredly provoke the hostility of the Co7dservatives. They will not allow themselves to be dragged through the dirt for his sake.
