SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We beim our readers nisv consider it certain that the Duke of Wellington is to be once more the First Lord of the Treasury. We have elsetiliere given one of the lists of his Ministry ; but we must observe, that with the ex ception perhaps of Mr. Baring, who is to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, little reliance is to be placed on it. S r R. Peel, without whom an Administration could not well be formed, in answer to a question put to hi n by Mr. T. Duncornbe, last night stated that no communication from Dia Majesty bad as yet been made to him. It is not likely that his Grace the Duke of Wellington would think of making any arrangement without concert with the Right Honourable Baronet, the only man who could give any character to his Ministry. The stand made by Mr. Baring is opposision to Lord Ebrington's motion, was, it seem•, to he taken as a demonstration of his fitness for a promi neat part is the management of the House of Commons. The country is in a perfect ferment. At no period since 164.2, has there been any demonstration of feeling at all al preaching to that which now prevails. It may truly be said that the whole population are ready for any resolves, any sacrifice', which the emergency may demand. Yes terday, Deputations, consisting of gentlemen of the highest respectability from Birmingham and Manchester, appeared at the different Meetings in the Metropolis. The intelli gence of the resignation of Ministers reached Manchester at t.o o'clock, and by five o'clock of the saute day, a Pe tition to the House of Commons had already been signed by 25,000 persons. A public Meeting of the inhabitants 44 to take place in the open air on Monday next. The King, so much beloved till recent events cast doubts on his good faith, was spoken of in language which we care not to repeat ; and such was the feeling, that the Municipal authorities of Saltord were obliged to countermand the orders which had been given for his Birthday Dinner; and it was expected that the Manchester Birthday Dinner would also be countermanded. We live, ;need, in eventful time,. The people, confident in their union and strength, laugh at the idea of any set of men attempting to wrest- from them the Reform Bill. They have no fear of -the borouehmoragera, or their naa ehitiations. But likaugisk persuaded of the inability of the boroughmongers, and their man, the Duke of Welington, ra coerce them, they are perfectly aware that it is in the oorrer of bad men, with the resources of office at their command, to throw the country into great confusion. Hence the anxiety everywhere manifested to arrest the evil its commencement. The people, we have said, are toady for any resolution which may be proposed by those in whose wisdom and virtue they can place confidence at this crisis. At a meeting of the inhabitants of West minster, and the Common Hall, strong resolutions were voted, end addresses to the House of Commons, calling on that body to stop the supplies. Several speakers declared that, as far as in them lay, as individuals, they would do what they could to stop the supplies, as they would pay no further tax-s till the Reform Bill was ease. d. Indeed we hold it quite impossible to form an Administration, which shall receive the support of the House of Com mons, and the belief is, therefore, pretty general that a :soup d'etett is intended on Monday next. It is given out by the partisans of tine Duke of Wellington, that he has pledged himself to a Bill equally effective with that which he so perseveringly opposed. No one, however, bslieves, that if he were to declare to-morrow that he was ready to conic forward with such a Bill, that he would keep his word. It is not in the least doubted that his Grace, in order to gain time for the execution of his plans sgsiast the people, would scruple at present at no declare tion. He would condemn the nomination boroughs as readily as he extolled them a year and a half ago, to serve his purposes. One object to be gained by a fraudulent de-. e'aration of readiness to grant Reform, would be, to divide the people in the approaching election, to which he must he driven. In our conscience we believe be would scruple nothing. We are not, however, of the number of those who deem him a rash, fool-hardy man, who would run bis 11, ad against a post, a/a Polignoc. No man is better aware than his Grace, of the propriety of avoiding unequal conflicts. If he find that he cannot, by deceiving, divide the people, he will not throw himself away in any rash attempt. We observe that Colonel Evans, in the House ot Commons last night, said, with reference to his Grace's -assuming the guidance of public (dairy, " that he could not but recollect that one of the lest acts of that Illustrious Personage, while in power, was to place troops in readiness for action in London ; and that he trusted, that the first act of his new administration might not be of a similar nature." Plans of coercion, of a much more extensive nature, were, we believe, entertained, and partly acted on by his Grace—witness the preparations in a certain Scotch girrison ; but it had not then been demonstrated that the cation, as one man, called out for Reform. We give his Grace credit fur more prudence than to think now of ce"rcing the Reformers. He is not the dupe of the silly tales which the Duke of Buccleuch has been prevailed Da utter, as to the paucity of Reformers in Scotland. He ;ioows that all the force he can command would be uu equal to the coercion—we will not say of England, be cease the idea is ludicrous—but to a single district of Scot woof. Besides, he knows that troops never can be depended no in a contest between a separate order and a whole action. He knows, that though the Aristocrat may hold the soldier in obedience by the cat-o'-nine-tails, the first anferling of a national banner, with a declaration that the brave British soldiers should no longer remain under the .old shade of the Aristoc7crey, and that the same talent which in the arts raises the humble Englishman to wealth ~.nd distinction, would in the army be sure of equal reward and diatinction, would leave him without a soldier. Who la short, can loeli,ve that the soldier, who describes so well what he felt when he was obliged to break biscuits for the Duke's hounds when he awl many other brave men were without bread, did nut often ruminate on the fate of the brave British soldier, for whom merit brings at honourable advancement, and who may esteem himself fortunate if, on closing his career, his back do not exhibit very different scare from those left by an enemy ? The Duke of Wellington knows all this, and be is aware thst the English soldier has discernment to make comparisons as well as his neighbours. We may observe, by the way, that Sir Robert Peel endeavoured to explain the circum stance of the military preparation, alluded to by Colonel Evans. He said, lie must take the liberty of complaining of the unfairness of the allusion made to the Duke of Wellington by the Gallant Colonel opposite. The Gallant Colonel had said that the last set of the Duke "of Wellington was to call together a military force to act in the city of Lon4on, which was the fact. His Ma jesty was going to the City for the first time after his accession, to visit his subjects. There were great apprehensions enter. rained of danger to the public peace. It was necessary, there fore, to take precautions that the property and the lives of indi. viduals might be protected ; and it was no doubt true that. for the purpose of aiding the civil power, he (Sir R. Peel,) as Home Secretary, desired the Commander-in-Chief to be prepared, if he should be called upon—(Hear, hear, hear)—and God forbid that any man, on a lawful occasion such as that was, should not be esdy, at any hazard, to maintain the public peace. But it was set the Duke of Wellington, but he (Sir R. Peel,) who was to be held responsible for-the. collection of the military force on that occasion, What was the danger r There was danger from an immense assemble of people at that period of the year, when the day soon closed in; and, lest the danger should be realized, what was the course that the Ministry had pursued? They advised the King not to go into the City, and they were then told by the Oppcwitictl, that the giving that advice proved them to be weak zud inconsistent men ;. and, so far were they from being charged with being desirous to overawe the people by a military force, dad airy were-charged with being unduly alarmed. The charge then made, and that - now preferred, could not possibly stand . toot h er.” . • , In fairnewsp,tlat Right MM. Baronet, we give his con tiadiction ; hut arvhsve nevertheless our own thouihts re spectiq milittay preparations,. and the objects. for which they Wire nade. - Sir Robert is notorious for candour, •ed we kiao* how far his explanation goes. We believe the Anti-Reformers are beyond measure embarrassed at this time. They certainly did not calculate on the prema ture stand made by Etrl Grey, but thought that by draw ing him on as it were, extorting something heteand some thing there, and playing on Lord Grey's wish to conciliate, they slight damage the Ministry in the estimation of the people, and that then, having produced a coolness be tween the Ministry and the people, they might trample on the former and cheat the latter with some chance of success. Through the Queen, and the brood by whom the King wis incessantly surrounded, they knew all that he thought, all that he said, and all that he would do; sad hence they deemed themselves sure of their game. Lord Grey has disconcerted them. and they now see themselves placed between a House of Commons which they cannot isornmand, and the people who will return a still more de termined House, should a dissolution take place ; they see themselves under the necessity of disgracing themselves by deelarations of readiness to grant all that they have ♦ex atiaualy opposed fur a year and a half, for the sake of ini posioe Do a people, disgusted with such open and prcfligate mockery of all principle, and therefore not to be imposed en. 'I hey will have to encounter the degradation of uttering falaebood without the consolation of knowing that the falsehood answers its purpose. To lie is always contemptible; but to lie without being believed is morti fying as well as contemptible. What, the nation believe the pledge of these mean, hol'ow intriguers —these pan derers tO .Gerwran women, and the rapacious crew who have dared to insult that people at whose expense their cupidity has been fed ! No, never. The attempt will assuredly- WI. People of Eugland, do your 4 6 tY a little while longer, and these tricksters must fail. Hold out but a little while longer, and the eternal defeat of the Loroughmongers is secured. Believe none of the professions which in their desperation they maY oOw make to you. You will have all to do over agsin if you now relac in your effort., confiding in the most unprincipled of rnen. The Devil himself sometimes ° speaks truth, and thews miserable tools of the horoughmen gera may not deceive you in all that they promise. But it is a good rule to place reliance on unprincipled men, the vague supposition that some part of their statements may be true. These men will deceive you if they can, There is nothing they would not do to prevent sacriticio,t, their nomination boroughs. Nothing was ever more feli citously expressed than what fell from Mr. Strutt on Thursday night :—" If,iadeed, the time should ever come when we are willing to intrust our victorious armies to the command of the officers of the enemy—if we should ever call the culprits from the bar to the judgment-seat —then, and not till then, will I consent to intrust the construction and management of this Bill to those who have shown themselves its avowed enemies, or its reluctant and wavering supporters." They laugh at the honesty of Earl Grey. Do not you be led to punish those whose crime, in the eyes of a sordid oligarchy, is their excess of honesty, in order to enable the artificers of fraud to triumph at the same time over yourselves.—Morning Chronicle. Amidst the wreck of a nation's hopes, which has just taken place, and under the heavy dispensations with which it has pleased Providence to afflict this devoted land, it is curious to trace, and to develop to the public, even though no ultimate good may result from it, the low and dirty tricks by which the people's enemies in the House of Lords have accomplished their ends. The prime movers of the plot were the high-principled Lord Lyndhurst, who considers political intrigue consistent with the duties of a criminal judge, and the popular and respected Lord Ellen borough. To these were joined Lord Rosalyn, and the Noble Eirl in whom disappointed ambition has caused the abandonment of the principles professed, and the friends cherished, during a long life, and whose unwearied abuse and hostility have pursued the late Ministry from the dawn of their career down to the scene which closed it on Wednesday last. The Duke of Wellington, though joined with these worthies, prudently kept himself in the back ground. By these men the plan of the postponement .of schedule A was concocted, and they lured the too-confiding and now indignant Waverers, by promising them . their support in the alterations which. it was their wish and intention to . make in the 8i11..., The ultra-Tories--the Newcastle, and Mansfield", &c,...-tnen who, however mistakes in their principles, are at least honest is the possessing of them,— were yet more grossly and unworthily deceived ; for they were induced to join in the vote for postponement, without being told a syllsble of the intended declaration of Lord Ellenborough in favour of " soot and lot" Reform. Indeed, the Noble Earl to whoa we have before alluded has, since the debate, taken great credit to himself and his co-con spirators for having delayed the Elephant Lord's declara tion till after the division. " That," said he, was admi rably managed, for had the declaration in favour of Reform taken place early in the evening, we, instead of the Mi nisters, should have been left in a minority." What a spe cimen of unworthy trickery does this one sentence open to us! And yet it is to men capable of such conduct that the deluded Sovereign of this country is willing to intrust the destinies of his people. So much for the intrigues of the House of Lords ; those of the Court are still less creditable. What shall we say to the eldest born of the Sovereign—to him whom Ministers, at the risk almost of their popularity with the country, elevated to a high rank in the peerage? What shall we say to his gratitude to his creator, when we hear that he has been among the foremost intriguers against him and his Government, arid that he has effected a reconciliation with his father (who, worn out with his unreasonable demands, had forbid him his presence) upon the pretext of his anxiety to assist in delivering him from the thraldom of his liberal Ministry? It is now a noto rious fact, and in truth a most curious one, that at the audience of leave which the Ministers had of their Sove reign on Wednesday last, the latter pressed the Duke of Richmond to desert his colleagues, and continue in his service; which that high-minded Nobleman at once re fused. " Nay, 3 greater far" than even the Duke was subjected to the like blandishments and entreaties, urged, too, with a force and pertinacity, which, coming from a Monarch, are difficult to be refused. The Chancellor was pressed again and again to continue in his high office, and at once, and peremptorily (though most respect. fully) refused. Surely his Majesty must, when he made these attempts, have forgotten that bloody record in the House of Brunswick,—that awful moment, when the too seductive persuasions of his induced the amiable but too yielding Charles Yorke to abandon his principles and his colleagues, and to accept of the Great Seal. That ill fated man, as it is well known, retired full of remorse from his Sovereign'e pr e s e nce, a n d p u t an en d to hi s own existence. Fortunately for themselves and for the country, the persuasions of the son were tri d upon tempers and minds of firmer mould and firmer principles. Of those who for a length of time , have worked upon the mind of our unhappy Monarch, and have induced him, after having promised a creation of Peers whenever they might be necessary far the success of the Reform Bill, to with draw that promise, and in fact to betray his Ministers, we wish not to speak. They are persons whose situations, if nut their minds, ought to have made them above such mean trickery, while their affection to his Majesty shou'd have prevented their offering such fatal, such ruinous advice. Verily they have their reward, in the contempt and abhorrence of a free yet loyal people. It iv, however. impossible not to draw a parallel to these times, and these ream, from history. When the popular Necker was called to the Administration in France, he was hailed by the applause of the people, and by the hopes of all those who wished for the good of the country. But his pro jected Reforms—his ameliorations of the state of the people—above alt, his economies and retrenchments were viewed with a jealous eye by the Court. The female cabal who ruled over Louis XVI. effected his overthrow by calumnies, dexterously and unceasingly poured into the ears of the King ; and the bold, the reckless, the disre putable Calonne was put in his place. The consequences of this disastrous change are well known. May the omen be far from us, and may the example of history prove a lamp to guide us in our path, and not an ignis faluus to lure us to our destruction ! Time& The accounts from every quarter of the metropolis and of England are awful. The anti-Reform faction have raised the storm, and by them, at least, its fury will not be appeased. Birmingham refuses to pay taxes, Man chester refuses to pay taxes, Westminster and London, there is reason to believe, will not pay taxes until the Reform Bill—the unmutilated Bill shall have passed. But will this dry-rot in the foundation of all Govern• rent—this famine of the State—be confined to the above three spots, however great and populous? No, unques tionably ; fur the sentiment is every where—the obliga tion to lien-payment, except only of those rates by with holding which the poor might suffer, is, throughout the United Kingdom, felt by a large majority of men of all ranks to be the most sacred of political duties. " What, then," icy the Conservatives, " will you resist ?" "By no means" is tie answer ; " like the Society of Friends, the most peaceable of mankind, we cut render our property to the bailiffs." This, again, is accompanied by a further determination, easeutisl to the full success of the former one— namely, against the purchase of any description of goods seized in execution for arrear of taxes. Now what can be opposed. to a negative system of warfare such as this? The " Blues," gallant as they are, could make nothing of a:a:barge against unbought feather-beds in front of a broker's warehouse; nor could the Araillery, with their slitapnells; no, nor the Grenadier Guarda themselves,• though headed by the new Rime Minister ; nor the other high-capped, regiment, led on by that great man, the Duke. of Gloucester, between whose disappointed views upon the. " Horse Guards " and the " Conservative " ea gerness of his iUuatrious Duchess and himself, we do not insinuate that there is the most distant connexion. How then, .00ce more, could an anti-Reform Government be at this moment carried on ? The people, we trust in God, will not fight. If they do, they will be as crazy as those who seek to rule them by the sabre. Their game is sure, if they but play it steadily. Every petition now presented to the House of Commons enjoins that assembly to pass no money-bills for a non-Reforming Administration. We see what a majority supports the cause of Reform. Is there a chance that a majority of 80 Members, excluding all who had been reputed of the waveriug party, can he so reduced lby defection, in the face of their unchanged constituents, las to afford to a , Wellington Government any reasonable hope of maintaining office on principles adverse to the present Bill? It is not as in other times, when Par iliarnenrary majerities hi.d no support in the nation. The anti-Reform partisans threaten us with a dissolution. Threaten us ! Heaven grant it. If they want further speci. mess of such reaction as has been exhibited within the last 12 mouths,they shall have them. The electors are at their posts, the election committees are organizing again throughout the kingdom ; they are in the act of preparing for the con servative candidates a reception which might warn them to all future times, if such men were susceptible of in struction. With the Parliament against him, and the na tion in a state which would deter any Tory who was not moon-stricken from so much as dreaming of an appeal to the people, what remains then to the Duke of Welling ton ? The . army ! - " The army is with us," cry the conservative cut-throats=of whom beyond all question the Duke of Wellington is far from being one. We do not believe that a snore flagrant injustice could be offered to any man, than by imputing to the Duke of Welling. ton the cruel speculation of governing this free country at the point of the soldier's bayonet. His Grace's under standing would revolt at such an experiment, even if his principle, did not ; and we remember, that ea no remote occAtulon Lid fileact and luta cane/pie, Sr: Henry HPr. dinge, deprecated in terms the most forcible and pointtii the Irish practice of calling in the army to tr. Indy the supineness or incompetency of the rnagistelia power.— Times. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. GREAT MEETING LINCOLN. YESTERDAY evening our of the largest meetings that ever assembled on any previous occasion, was held at the Guildhall, Lincoln. All the wealth, respectability, and in telligence of the city were present, together with nearly all the Members of the Corporate body. The Mayor (W. WIGGLESWORTH, Esq.) being called to the chair, explained the object of the meeting, which was to consider the present awful situation of the country, in consequence of his Majesty having refused to adopt the necessary means for securing the triumph of the great measure of Reform ; and of Earl Grey and his patriotic co-adjutors having resigned office. After a few words from R MASON, Esq. explaining more at length the purpose for which the meeting was convened, Dr. Boor rose. He was proud to observe that the citizens of Lincoln had so nobly responded to the call of their worthy Chief Magistrate, at a period when the liberties of all classes of Englishmen were placed in Jeopardy by an intriguing faction. They were - met to express their sentiments honestly and firmly, and it wars a melancholy fact that the cup of bliss, which was lated to tranquillize the nation, and to restore peace and • trangnillity thioughout all classes, had been dashed -from their lip,. He, as an old man, would rather die a freeman than live a slave.—(immense cheering.) By the present position of affairs, it appeared that no lest than 24 millions of souls were to be ►ubjugated by a majority of 35.Paersi.—(Cries of "No, we shall not.") The House of Commons, which represented the voice of the 'people, had been set at nought, and henceforth it would be non sense, sheer nonsense, to go through the forms of election, when the people were to be governed solely by an usurp.. ing and overweening aristocracy.—(Loud cheers.) Were we living in the 19th century—were we se degenerate as not to possess some noble minded, some pats iotic Brutus to rally us to the breach—to take the citadel, and to obtain the repossession of our long-lost political privileges.— (Loud cheers.) We were entitled to nothing more than what was recognized by the British Constitution, and it was bard indeed upon an industrious and loyal people to have these rights withheld by a small and utterly in significant majority of the Peerage. We were rallying round the Ministry, and by so doing, we should con►ince the Peers that we were not to be deft auded of our rights.— (Loud cheers.) He then concluded with moving the fol lowing resolution for the adoption of the meeting, viz " That the attempt to mutilate the great measure of Reform, and the consequent resignation of the Ministry are not attributable to Earl Grey, but to those who are enemies to the liberties of the people."—(Load cheers.) Mr. Alderman CARTLEDGE seconded the resolution, in doing which he had great pleasure. He hoped they would all keep united, and employ every legitimate means for securing the triumph of the great question of Reform. The resolution was carried unanimously amidst Brat ac clamations. G. HEBB, Esq. proposed the following resolution, viz : ' That this meeting feels in common with the great ma jority' of the nation, that the House of Lords have placed themselves in opposition to the inters es of the people, and that opposition is of a factious character, and' unless effectually repelled, will endanger the safety and liberties of the people."—(Loud cheers.) The rights- and interests of the people of England had never been in more imsuinent danger than at the present crisis, through the Obstinacy of a small majority of the House of Peers (Cheers, and cries of " Burke them !")—and it was of paramount importance that every individual exei ted his utmost energies to maintain the rights and interests of the great body of the people.—(Cheers.) If the King had abused his prerogative—if he had overstretched his power, it would have been tyranny, and the people would have put it down ; if the people bad arrogated too much to themselves--if they had dictated to the other two Estates of the realm, they might have likewise been put down : but of all Oppositions that of the Aristocracy—a mere handful—putting themselves forward against twenty-four millions of people was most ridiculous, and he might very properly designate it as factious and improper —(Loud cheering)—as stated in the resolution, which he had already introduced. The liberties of the people were dear to them—their rights ought to be sustained it preference to those of the other estates of the realm : for in was from the people that the other estates has rose. The King and the Lords could not exist without the people— the people formed the foundation of the whole superstruc ture of civil Government. He did not wish to be mis taken in these remarks ; he was sincerely attached to the three estates of the realm which constituted the best form of Government ; but when one trespassed upon the rights of the other, it was incumbent on the invaded interest, to render a tirin and strenuous resistance.—(Cheering.) Mr. Jotter HALL rose to second the resolution, which he did with the greatest possible sincerity. He did not wish unnecessarily to trespass upon the time arid attention of the meeting, but on his own part he felt it due for him to say that he was a member of that class of the people. " Who had felt oppression's force," —(Cheers.)—and who as a necessary consequence was disposed to resist the encroachments of power.—(Cheers.) He yielded to no man in love of his King, his country, and the constitution, and it was only when one attempted to tyrrauize ever the other that he would raise his voice against usurpation.—(Loud cheers.) He fully agreed with the poet when he said— " A fairer isle tban Britain never sun Viewed in his wide career: a lively spot For all that life can ask, salubrious mild. • Its hills are green, its woods and prospects fair; Its meadows fertile, and to crown the whole, . in one delightful word, it is our home, Our native land."- But however fertile its valleys, and rich with every thing that eould tend to the enjoyment of man, who was there amongst the poorer classes who could partake of its lux xuies ?—(Cheers.) They were all engaged by those who . were the least entitled to them --(Cries of " nye the Bishops,"—and be could state it feellinglv, that a man might labour until the sweat might drop from his brow and for what ? To pay taxes to a large ove grown and encroaching aristocracy.—(Loud . cheering.) who took every possible opportunity for crushing the liberties of the people, and of which we had just had a very lamentable example.—(Loud cheers.) He would repeat that he seconded the 'resolution with considerable pleasure : he felt it to be his duty as a man, as a - citizen, as a freeman, for he was well convinced that his fellow townsmen ought to possess an equal right with himself in 7 ,a voice in the Parliamentary representation of this country. -It wax a privilege to which he had no more exclosive right than they, who did not possess the franchise.—(Cheery.`) Mr. JAMES HITCHINS addressed the meeting at consi derable length. . He assured the meeting—and he was not iu the habit of dealing in the language of affectation—that he approached the task before him with a considerabl e de gree of difficulty. They had lately indulged in anticipa tions of liberty ; but now we had a Alinistry Whir bad been defeated, and a King who had turned his back upon us.—(Cheers.) Was-not this calculated to dismay the stoutest heart, and to destroy the peace of Eng land ? The Duke of Wellington had been compelled to resign, because of his famous Anti -Reform declaration,.and Earl Grey had succeeded him in his office, having pledged himself to Reform the representation. What had been the conduct of the late Ministry ? They had brought forward an efficient measure; twice had it re ceived the sanction of the House of Commons, and the House of Lords had dared to reject it. Earl Grey and his Minis'ry had been ironsistant; why, then, had not the measure been carried ? The people were for it ; it was said the King was for it—he had declared he was fur it, then u by the reverse ?—(Cheers.) Why thus throw off his chameleon habit ? The King himself in his speech, not delivered by commission, but with his own breath, said he was anxious fur a speedy and effectual settlement of the question.—(Cries of " He did.") Can we heliev.e all this, and then on the eve of o th u e d mebeeuau.r)e. bneiengobirro.uigih.; to a con c l us i on h e d as h es the cup of promise f rom our lips and bl as t s our h opes !_( wa s not fond of the pomp and ceremony usually attendant upon coronations, but he did respect an oath whether made before a magistrate or by a King.—(Cheers.) What, wh en Lord Grey as premier presented to the King the sword of State.—(Cheers.) What oath did he utter—what but this, that " he was anxious to repair any thing wrong in the Constitution, and to retain every thing that was right." These were the words of the King, and he (Mr. H.) would ask whether these words did not allude to the question of Reform? Whether the King had not violated that oath--whether, in fact, his Majesty bad not been ?—(Hisses, and cries of " That lan guage is too strong.") Well, then, be (Mr. H.) was ipoallng the worth of Lord Bingham, who had quoted very words, and asked whether it could be lees than per jury to violate it ?—(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. H.) loved his King.—(Cries of " You want a p l ace.") He believed lie was still attached to his people ; but he would say that he had violated the sanctity of that coronation oath—he had not acted up to his words contained in the speech which be delivered to Parliament. Where were they inow 1., look ? To the House of Lords ? Lord help them if they did.—(Loud laughter, and cheers.) Were they to look to the King ? Yes, in some measure, they were. No Government could exist an hour without the support of the people, therefore it mattered little whether Lord Lyndhurst took the seals of office or not, for he w ou ld ven . . ture to tell him, that, if not backed by the people, he could not stand a month, nor a week.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hitchins, after some further remarks, concluded with moving the following resolution:— " That the thanks of this meeting and of the country , are eminently due to the late Ministry, for having i►ttto duced the Bill to amend that evil state of representation so long a disgrace to the nation, and for their unflinching honesty in resigning power and office when they were not supported."—( Tremendous cheers.) Mr. Lute TROTTER seconded the resolution. R. Masow, Esq., the Town-clerk, wished to make a few observations upon the former part of Mr. Hitchins's speech, merely for the purpose of preventing a misimpres sion going abroad that every person present agreed in all that had been advanced in that speech. He a luded to the Coronation Oath. He thought Mr. Hitchins's language on that topic ought to have been avoided. He could not sit there to hear a King—the first Magistrate of this kingdom—our Monarch—who was as gracious a Monarch as ever held the sceptre, charged with perjury, because he had withdrawn his sanction to the Reform Bill, inasmuch as he had not sanctioned the creation of Peers. These were his sentiments, in which the Mayor and other gent!emen participated.—(Cheers and hisses.) - Mr. HricurNsreplied. He did not wish Mr. Mason to be responsible for any thing that bad fallen from him. He was in the habit of calling things by their right names, and he would refer Mr. Mason to the remark made by the Duke of Cumberland, that his father Wopid commit per jury if be allowed the Catholicll - to 'pairs. As he (Mr. H.) did not wish to promote disunion, he would say, that if the King had committed perjury, he could then only say that he had not fulfilled his oath. He would ring the changes in any way they pleased to promote unanimity.— (Cheers and hisses.) The iesdution was then passed unanimously, amid vehe ment cheering. (Here the outcry for adjournment to some larger place became overpowering, and, as it proved, with good rea son, neatly ten times more being standing outside than were admitted ; and it was wonderful that this dispropor tion between the number accommodated and those who were not, had not excited much greater uproar. At length the meeting adjourned to the noble piazzas which form the Butter-market, and with the aid of hogsheads and planks a tolerable good platform was raised. Bes.r. HART THORODD, Esq., said he had to move a resolution which would suit the alarming position of the people. He knew how great was the disappointment which had been experienced, but he also knew that the people had shown resolution and energy equal to every extremity ; it was characteristic of Englishmen to bring to the struggle a stubborn spirit, which it was net very easy ro overcome, - and his Grace the Duke of Wellingeon had perhaps his share of this national character. Pity he had not shown it in a more worthy manner, instead of acting with such ingratitude to the people who had stood by him in the hour of danger, and to whose nerve he had not trusted in rain, when the issue rested in the power of endurance of the British soldier. It was to a people so highly gifted with strength of cha racter that he owed his glory and perhaps his life—it was also to the people 'last he owed the enormous reward with which he was favoured—and for a- man thus dealt with, and so amply overloaded with the good things, the fruits of the labour of the people—for such a man to set him self in opposition to the people, was the basest - ingratitude. The people sought for their own, their birth-right— filched from them by /In audacious encroaching aristo cracy—and it now was left for the people to decide whe ther they were to contribute their money, to pay for steel lozenges, gunpowder and bullets to be be at the disposal of this beggarly faction, and to continue the system of base control of an upstart nobility.—( Hear.) For 30 years this Tory cabal had been growing into strength, until it actually assumed the disposal of life and property. It was not so well known 20 years hence, that the Minister was every year forced to apply, cap in hand, to the House of Commons, for leave to keep an army of 60 or 80,000 men, to control and keep down the people. Unless the House of Commons granted the - Mutiny Bill, not a single soldier would be kept at their command ; and we have now a House of Commons, re turned in a popular manner, and we are justified in calling tin that House to protect the people, by refusing to let our Money be paid to keep soldiers to cut down the people at the instance of a Tory Government.—(" The soldiers won't do it.") The soldiers must do it if you create scenes of violence , but if you are firm and peaceable, no fear of final success. Mr. THOROLD read the resolution,: seconded by Mr. \Vat. RUDYARD, merchant. The resolution was to the effect, to address the House of Commons, praying them to withdraw the supplies. The address to the House of Cemmons, founded on the resolutions, was then voted and carried unanimously. Mr. E. B. DRURY stated, that when he saw the im mense concourse assembled in this spacious marke place, that it was crowded not only on its level, but thronged in all parts to the roof itself, he could not help thinking how kindly and forbearingly the numbers who had been excluded front the Guildhall, had endured contrast of their situation compared with those inside. Here we were all alike, and be rejoiced in having to propose a resolution. The seconder who had been first thought of was probaly jammed into a mummy at some extreme corner of the place, and he should have to be seconded by some good natured hearer who might approve of the sentiment expressed in the resolution ; which was to address his Majesty in thinking that the country would not be satisfied with any other Administration than Lord Grey's or such another as should be equally favourable to the claims of the people. There had been some strong language used already, which might seem to be dictation to the King.— whether there was any dictation in this resolution he would not decide. Some time ago a steam-boat was wrecked in the Irish channel, and horrible loss of life and property ensued. At the Coroner's Inquest, it appeared that the Captain was a man of irresolute conduct, ane it was said that the passengers ought to hare interfered, and one and all united to prevent the calamity which had happened. It was true that the King could do no wrong, and his right to dismiso his Ministry was absolute, but self-preservation was a prior principle; and, although a Captain of a ship is absolute in his conduct of his ship, yet when all is at stake, who dare say th at there is not an inherent right to interfere, that it is absolutely a duty to interfere, and to urge his Majesty to recover his better judgment, and not to be led astray?— (Cheering.) This, then, was the object of the resolution. It is the Reform in the representation which alone can bring forth good things ; five years hence distress was felt, and petitions presented to gain relief —very little was gained; and the manner of taking off taxes showed a much greater wish to ease the Aristocracy and after a long in terval, only lately the worlang• man 'got his beer relieved from the most shameful and degrading impost which could be imposed on a people. Even this small gain to the working man seemed to be grudged, and many sinister hints are afloat of interfering with this concession. Find ing that all prayers were nearly useless, or that the modicum of relief front taxes was small, and of no value, at length the people caught fire, and kindled into a burning desire for a reformation of that atrocious system which has bound the people in servile chain.. Why there Was hardly a single act which to this free country, a man could perform, without paying to be allowed to do it. If you trade, you have heaps of licenses to be allowed to do what is a natural right. You cannot walk, ride, marry, nor charged for such ind u l gences . I s it burywonderful w t h o t u h t at bing Reform should be wanted, when we Eng lishmen are brought to such a state as this? What for? To keep in power and lavish splendour some 200 families, who have usurped the control of Kings, Lords, and Com mons !—(True ! true ! and cheering). We will therefore stand fast to our demand for Reform—it is the door by which we eater into the Temple of Liberty, from which we r b o a l v d e been, which so long excluded . h takes usineo I the land is the n dof right promise, theid short l a nd o t equal rights, and a fair field, and no favor to every man ! —(Cheers). Mr. ARNOLD seconded the address. The address to the King was read and clinical, and the meeting dissolved after tremendous cheers for the late Mi nisters, for the Mayor, and deep groans t.vu others. We u nderstand that th e a b ove Meeting did not certa i n l y dissolve itself—b u t a d journ to meet any ex i exigency to act n concert with the country. Tins ,tiould be the rule and co•iduct of all meetings— watch, but fear not. The People only want justice —and that they will have. The people have only to be true to themselves to obtain their rights. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, Mae W.

Mr. O'Coreteer.r, said these were the times to try men's souls, and soon, he had no doubt, it would be proved what Englishmen were made of. An alteration would snoa take place.—(Cheers, and a cry of " Republic.") He knew there was not a man in the room who would be a slave to the vile boroughmongers.—(Cheers.) The period was came when Englishmen must he true to themselves.— (We will.) The people could not longer be enslaved by the Tory oligarchy, who had bnidened the nation with a debt of nearly a thousand millions —(Groana.) The peo - - ply of England would see what hid been done by the brave Netherlanders.—(Cheers.) Wotild Englishmen be behind those foreigners, when they .were engaged in a• glorious struggle for their liberties?—(No, no.) Would they not do as our ancestors had done, when the Barons obtained the Charter from a tyrant King?—(Cheers.) English history proved the noble deeds Englishmen were capable of of performing. They all remembered the fate of Charles the First, for listening to the advice of a foreign wife. --(lmmense cheers.) The fate of that Monarch ought to operate as a warning to others. Englishmen in that glorious contest against Charles, beat down his armed le gions, and brought him to the scaffold.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'C.) did not like to shed blood, and never on a scaffold. __(Cheers, and cries of " Hear an Irishman.") Yee, hear an Irishmsn.—(Hisses and cheers.) He did not feel it a disgrace, but as honour to be an Irishman.— (Hear.) He (Mr. O'C.) next alluded to the conduct of the people of England in the time of James 11. The people groaned under despotism for a long time, but they burst their bonds, and cashiered the despot.—(Cheers) The people of England would now, as they had done in former times, do their duty to themselves and to their country. A dreadful crisis had arrived, and the people would show they were determined in the cause—the glo riots, cause of Reform.—(Cheers.) Sons of freedom, hold up your hands —(All held up.) You will enforce 'your rights at all hazirds.—(We will.) Yon have no un friendly or disloyal feeling towards the King.--(Groans and cheers.) You would support him in that splendour which is consistent with kingly authoi ity, but you will possess )our liberties.—(We will.) You will be free. —(We will.) " Then know He who would be free himself must strike the blow." He did not doubt that the glorious cause would yet be triumphant—it was a just cause and must be carried.— (Cheers.) He hoped they should be able to carry back the Ministers on the shOulders of the people of Euglaud to their places as Ministers of the King.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) had occasion to complain 'of the Minis ters, they had not treated him well, they had persecuted him fur disobeying a proclamation, and he would always disobey a proclamation that was not founded on law.— (Cheers.) He put the . 'Conduct regarding so humble an individual as himself 'out of the question, he would bury it in oblivion, knowing, as fie did, that th e ti me 'h a d arrived, when of necessity th e people of England and Ireland would unite and Het themselves of despotism of every kind, political or religious. Despotism and bigotry would wither at the universal cries of this ft4men of England now resounding throughout th't Empire. A great revolution was about to take place.—(Hear.)-4.- Republics would rise up in*every part of the world, and the stones of Russia would rise up against he despotic ruler.—(Cheers.) The revolution in this country would not he to depose a King, but to annihilate an infamous band of oligarchs.—(Cheers.) The people would have the Reform they universally desired, or they would not pay titbes—(Cheers)—or taxes.—(Cheers.) They might distrain the people's goods, but, as Pat says to his brother, " if the goods are sold, there must be somebody to bily."— (Cheers ! ) And who would . purehase ?—(No one.) The whole nation, he hoped, would assemble that day in parish meetings, and show that, unless the wishes of a whole people were attended to, they . would refuse to support Government by withholding all sopplies.—(Cheers.) The whole nation hid risen as One man, and he did not despair of success, because when Englishmen were so united, and so resolved in a cause so sacred, they would never sit down till they had effected the dearest object of their. hearts.—(Ckeers.) The Learned Gentleman, after a few more observations, concluded a very powerful 0.134 energetic speech. Mr. C. A. TULY felt considerable difficulty In coming forward to address the meeting after the eloquent speech of the Learned Gentleman who bad just sat down. He, how ever, ventured to trespass on their patience for a few mo ments, and it was only the resolution be had to propose that supported him in the difficulty he laboured under.— It was an arduous duty they had now to perform, in opposing these despots to society—the borouehmongers...... (Hear, hear.) Ile called upon them to be firm, and set together in the great cause—the cause of freedom; and the time would not be far distant when they would gain that d. scription of Reform they had so long eagerly sought for. He then proposed the address, which was seconded by Mr. Dawson, and carried amid load acclamations. It was then proposed and seconded that the two Mem bers, Sir F. Burdett, and Sir John Cam Hobbouse, pre sent the address to the House. Colonel JONES, in a long speech, proposed the fifth dissolution. At this moment a most interesting scene took place — e . three gentlemen, Mesert. Scholefield, Parkes, and Gray, forming& deputation from the Birmingham Union, entered the room, bearing an address from that body to the . House of Commons, to the same effect as the one now adopted. Upon the names of the deputation being. announced,lim mense cheering took place, which lasted several minutes. Sir F. Burteirr (after order_ had been restored) inteo• duced Mr. Scholefield as the Deputy Chairman of the Birmingham Union: The gentleman addressed the meet ing in a speech which appeared to afford the greatest delight. He described the people of Biriitingbam as being mai ted do a , man in .thiceauee of freedom. ' • Sir F. Buanetr, in returning thanks, said helia'been too long acquainted with his fellow-eitizena to render it necessary to say anything of his past or future eonduet. He had always endeavoured to perform his duty.--(Cheer) The people must now be firm and resolute in the stepalbey take, and at the same time avoid any premature act that stay thwart the great object for which they are contend ing. From accounts received from all puts of the empire it appeared the people bad exhibited an union of sea timent and feeling unparalleled.—(Hear, and Cheers.) And instead of desponding or having - misgivings on the subject, be thought they ought to adopt a tone of exulta tion of anticipated tritunph..—(jrnme4ee eneeis;) - 711 e deputations'froM various parts of England, expressing the sentiments of millions, had satisfied hint that " the lion was roused," but he was anxious the triumph should be. obtained at the least possible inconvenience to the people. —(Cheers.) Instead of speaking of the Birmingham, the Manchester, or Lendon Unions, they would have to speak ef the Unions of England, Scotland, and Ireland. But it was no nee wasting words, though he must dechuq that it was a piece cf dariag boidne4 on part of the boroughutongers •to - stand up against the will of a nation.--(Loud chee • rs.) He howeier treated them and their infamous efforts With contempt, and they ought to think tbeeneelves well off if they escaped without serious animadversion. In 1795 by first urged the etcessity of union to carry Reform, and that object having been effected, the result must fallow.—(Loud and long cheers.) By union they were certain of euecess. The tyrant exclaimed, " Divide and weaken ;" Englishmen exclaimed, " Unite and be free."-- (Berets of applause.) He would go down to the House with feelings of triumph, and present the petition with which the meeting had honoured him.—(Cheers.) He again thanked the meeting, which gave him nine cheer. and separated. Parxrup AvD PuisubHED BY MU RD 0 YOUNG, AT TVS g Sv OFFICE, 112, STRAND. Lo:tvozi. (1
