v -y ~ IZEFORSI. NATIONAL POL ITIC A L - UNION. - An extraordinary meeting of the National` Political rnion was held last night at Saville-houss, - Leicester square, to consider what steps should be pursuid%at the present crisis. The large room was crowded to a degree of great inconvenience. The intense anxiety that fills the middling classes was evidenced by the fact, that 1,200 new members joined this Union last night. The body of the meeting was composed of decent, well dressed tradesmen, and the demeanour of all present indi cated the keenest indignation, so that a stranger on first entering the room might mistake the enthusiasm for violence; hut their proceedings were conducted with per fect order. Mr. CHURCHILL was called to the Chair. Mr. Munnty said, that at the last meeting an address to his Majesty had been ordered to be prepared, humbly requesting bim to create a sufficient number of Peers. But it was now no time for idle talk,—they met to do service to their eountry. He would move that the reso lution of the last meeting be erased. This was seconded, and passed amidst loud acclamations. The Rev. Mr. Fox, who was received with cheers, came forward to propose the first resolution—" That the betrayal of the cause of the people was not attributable to Lord Grey or his Administration, but to the bass and foul tre,chery of others."—(Great applause.) He said he came to address them under circumstances without a parallel in history. He felt deeply—solemnly—this tremendous crisis. The question was not about any particular mea sure or party, hut whether the community was to enact laws for the benefit of the community ? The whole prin ciple and power of legislation was at stake. It was not a question about a change of dynasty—(Great cheering)— but whether the aristocracy which could once change it were to retain their excessive power for the oppression of the people,—whether the King's Government was to be brought into disgrace and peril not paralleled except by the deposition of James and the execution of Charles.— (Tremendous cheering.) He had hoped that night to stand forward and aid in the general expression of loyal gratitude to the Throne for the noblest °fall conquests,— the conquest of the rights, liberties, and permanent im pravernent of the people, from the hands of a faction. But they were thrown on their own resources, and there was nothing for them now, after the resignation of the Mini stry, to confide in but their sound and determined prin. eip'es.—( Hear, hear.) The conduct of the Conservatives, a. they called themselves, bad been productive of much good, for it excited reflection, and caused a keen investiga tion of the system which produced so many wars, so many crusades against liberty, and which tended to the utter de gradation of character. He trusted all felt the necessity of pledging themselves on this occasion as became a great and enlightened people ; but let there berm impotent efforts of physical force—let them trust to the weight of public opinion, which would achieve a permanent deliverance for them and their posterity.--(Cheers.) Mr. HARRISON having seconded the resolution, Mr. MURPHY suggested the withdrawal of it, until the statement of Lord Grey and the Ministry in Parlia ment should be known, and the Meeting could pronounce where the treachery lay. The time for resistance was come. The taxes were in course of collecting; would the whole of the people say what be did to the tax-gatherer, " Until the Reform Bill is a law, one penny of my money sou shall not have?"—(Cheering and waving of hats for several minutes, with cries of " Bravo, we will.") They may carry us into the Exchequer; let them se 1 our goods and we will pay them a commission for it ; but we will replevin, and appeal to a jury of our countrymen.—(lm mense applause.) Then we will try the question, and see what twelve Englishmen will say to a brother contending fur his rights. The House of Commons had declared not to be the representative of the people, and the people ought not to ply taxes which were imposed by an illegal authority. .11r. Nana' did not disagree with the observations of t! e 1-st speaker as to the payment of taxes, but he deci e!eilly opposed the withdrawal of the resolution. That very evening Lord Grey said in Parliament that be ten shred advice to the King, recommending the creation of ere, but a patriot King disregarded it. Now be would ray that the individual, whether man or woman, who e'ood between Lord Grey and the King, deserved the block better than any person in history. The resolution pointed out those on whom the just indignation of the people ought to fall. The Rev. Mr. Fox replied to Mr. Murphy, and the tesolution passed. Mr. Poss am. moved the next resolution, which recom mended meetings in every county, town, and parish through the kingdom, which. by inducing compliance with the unanimous wishes of the people, might prevent the mis ehi e f that would otherwise result from the general in Jignation. The people were resolved to put an end to a system wt jell caused thedebt that now weighed on their energies, which outraged common sense by its gross inconsistency, and violated so many of the dearest rights of the subject ; this they were resolved to abolish, though Hell itself were leagued for its defence.—(Loud cheers.) But they would use ne swords, nu arms, for that purpose, their weapons would be their pockets.— (Cries of " Hear.") An old tietttleman said to him that day, " The Tories will cajole, —they will make fine offers,—they will say any thing you please ; but, young man, button up your pocket.-- (Cheets and laughter.) Refuse the pensioners of the pub lic,—give nothing to those who, were it not for the peo ple, would not be able to buy a quartern loaf. Pursue the plan which theiVbrnmon.ball of the city of London mean to do." Let commissioners be vested with the supplies. It might be illegal to come to a resolution to pay no taxes in money ; but no law could reach a man's determination, and let them see who would dare to purchase the goods distrained thus.—(Cheering, and waving of hats for some time.) Mr. WAKEFIELD seconded the resolution. At the Mary lebone Refoirn nutting he called William IV. the great reformer, but he would never do so again until he re deemed his character ; he would call him plain Duke of Clarence, and ;et him have the benefit of that. He was influenced by the Tories, whose situations gave them access to him, and by female powers—(Loud cries of " Hear") —who, if they ever stepped from their domestic sphere, ought to do au for the purposes of beneficence. As to the Reverend hypocrites—(Great cheers)—as to those knaves in lawn, who united with the Waverers to trip up the Mi nistry, he would not waste time by descanting on the de merits of that mass of iniquity wbich was comprised in the title of Church militant, and which they were ready to display in the basest of all crusades,—tbat against the rights of their fellow-subjects. The resolution then passed unanimously. Major REVELL rose to move the adoption of the re solution which had been agreed to by the representatives of 240,000 persons at the east end of the town (though it was unrepresented in Parliament). It was to this effect— that a petition be presented, praying that Commissioners receive the supplies, and that until the Bill pass they be not managed by the Lords of the Treasury. This admi rable resolution was adopted from that passed by the House of Commons in 1642. The House to•day nerd not allow one shilling to pass through the hands of the Treasury Lords and then what would become of the poor, it,iserable, pauper Peers, who were themselves, he would stain repeat it, unable to buy a qnartern loal? (Hear, hear.) Lord Lyndhurst, for instance—(Loud groans)--who obtained place by his splendid consistency. might attend as amicus curia in the Exchequer, but it should be gratis, until Reform was passed. Now he would tell them, that if the opposition thought the people were in earnest, they would never have dared to reject their Bill. Mr. DaTitostert seconded the resolution. The p-ar ple, he said, were deceived by the man in whose breast they placed their hopes, and Unlit look to themselves and their tried friends. But dal they despair ? Was not they, this happy circumstance attending their situation, that they now felt the absurdity of trusting to hereditary wis dotn?—(Applause.) Dues not every act bring the time nearer when the folly and wickedness will be universally acknowledged that is engendered by such a system? Never was there a time when the people more needed as. sistance. Goaded by miseries, how necessary was i• that those they loved should be near to direct their ener gins—that friends and foes might not be swept away in discriminately ! This was not a moment for seclusion , mere sympathy, hearthaide co-operation would not do— they must take a prominent, decided part, and guide the phystual strength of the people. Why do our ene mire rely on the army? Why should they be reads to brave the worst ? He (Mr. Detroiser) was n. advocate fur war—least of all a civil war. None b u t a bad bold man could desire it. He must be ti hardened ia retch who would shed the blood of his coun trymen is order to deny them a good and efficiero tsovtrnment ; but there were circumstances and a moment when it became a duty to face the cannon.—(Cheering, and waving of hats.) They depend on the army—do they forget Colonel Breretun.—(Applause.) Is humanity confined to one bosom ? Are not soldiers men and brethren? Will they become instruments of massacre in the cause of despotism ?—(Cheers ) success certain ? Let them take care that the people, as they have wan worm-like, may not adder-Liar be revenged. But thi we spot, of peace is in our pockets. The determination ti pay tto tuxes is not confined to the Ivans of the peovle. lie kntw perstma in the House of Commons who would take their part in this also with their eotiuY r , sod refus e theta . rb , y pay no toot. tests --(trnm t enke applause, tvl,h was renewed several times.) There is also a flimsy piee' of paper, of which the value depends on public opinion .We may refuse to accept one of these.—(Hear, hear. Will you abide by these reslutions. If a brother he mad, a victim, will you support him ?—(Cries of " We will,' from the whole meeting.) The resolution then passed unanimously. Mr. WAKLEY moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Attwoo , and the inhabitants of Birmingham. In moving this and with a view to show by individual instances the mon strous oppression of the present system, he detailed a cast of what he described as gross cruelty committed by a ma gistrate of Hertfordshire; but as it is in a course of legal investigation, we decline inserting it. The resolution then passed by acclamation, after which the meeting gave three cheers for Reform, and separated at eleven o'clock. . .!... PUBLIC MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF WESTMINSTER. Last night a meeting of some of the electors of West minster took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, to consider of the propriety of calling a public meeting in the present state of affairs. For a preliminary meeting it was most numerously attended. Mr. De Vear was called to the chair. After some discussion, in which Mr. Carpue, Mr. Tulk, Mr. Tyson, and other gentlemen took part, it was agreed that a public meeting should be called for to-morrow, at one for two o'clock. Mr. De Vear stated that he had seen Sir Francis Burdett a few hours before, and the worthy Baronet, though unwell, had promised to attend and take the chair, though he were to be carried. The meeting is to be held at the Crown and Anchor. A Sub-Commitee was after wards appointed to draw up resolutions ; and an instruction to the Committee was read, dii ecting it to express regret at the removal of Ministers, approbation of their patriotic motives, and a hope that they woula pursue their patriotic course, recom mending the House of Commons to withhold the Supplies till Reform be carried. A subscription was immediately entered into to pay the expense of the public meetings, ad vertisements, &c. on the ground that it was only honest to pay as they went on, and not trust to subscriptions here after. This is very good policy ; and as the patriotism of many an energetic man is cooled by having to pay expenses of such meetings as well as undergo the trouble of getting them up, we cordially recommend the people everywhere to imitate this example, and subscribe their mites in the first instance to pay the unavoidable expense of public meetings. PARISH OF ST. CLEMENT DANES. It may he remembered, that at the last meeting on the subject of Reform in this pariah, a Committee was ap pointed to watch the progress of " the Bill," and to take such steps, by calling a general meeting of the inhabitants, or otherwise, a, circumstances align demand. The de feat of the Minister on Monday night, and the resignation of yesterday, necessarily called the Committee to the ez-r -cise of their functions, and a meeting was convened at the Vestry•roorn lest night, which was very numerously and respectably attended. Mr. Cardell was called to the Chair, and after some preliminary observations on the pre sent important crisis, it was moved by Mr. Prout, and . unanimously agreed to, that a requisition should be sent to the chuicbwardens, requesting them to call a vestry on the earliest possible day, to take into consideration the pre sent posture of public affairs, more particularly as regards the question of Parliamentary Reform. To this meeting all the inhabitant householders will he admitted, and it is expected it will held on Thursday next. ST. BRIDE'S, FLEET-STREET.....The parish of St. Bride, Fleet -street, is about to meet on the subject of the defeat of Ministers. A requisition has been carried round, among a few of the inhabitants, by Messrs. Swain and Low, of Fleet -street, to which requisition they, in less than half an hour, obtained the signatures of shout fifty of the most wealthy and reap ct.tble persons of the parish. The consent of the churchwardens (Messrs. Sangster and Devey) was promptly and handsomely given for the meet ing to be held in the vestry-room of St. Bride's church, to-morrow evening at six o'clock. At a preliminary meeting held for calling a general meeting of the Marylebone district, it was resolved unani mously that a resolution should be submitted to the general district meeting, to the effect ti st if the pregeat Adminis tration resign in consequence of nut being empowered to carry the Reform Bill into effect, a petition be presented to the House of Commons praying them to stop the sup plies until the present or a more efficient Reform shall be passed into law ; and declaring, that if the House refuse to grant this prayer, the meeti•ig will feel them elves bound to refuse the payment of all taxes, rates, or tithes whatever. A requisition numerouly signed has been presented to the churchwardens of the parish of Sr. Luke, Middlesex; for a meeting to consider the propriety of presenting a petition t• the King to create such an additional number of Peers as will insure the success of the Reform Bill. A deputation of the Ward of Castle-Blynard waited yesterday on Mr. Alderman Wilson, with a requisition for a wardmote, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of Reform, &e., and on the resignation of Ministers, and Alderman Wilson has promptly named Saturday, eleven o'clock, at St. Gregory's church, Knight- Rider -street, Doctors'-commons. SOUTHWARK.-The following requisition, signed by 200 inhabitant householders, has been transmitted to the High Biiliff:— " To John Holmes, E:q , High IMO of the town and borough of Southwark. " We, the undersigned inhabitant householders of the town and borough cf Southwark, do request you to con vene an early meeting of the inhabitant householders of the said town and borough, to consider of and adopt ouch measures as may appear to be necessary or expedient fur promoting the success of the Reform Bill, in consequence of the recent division in the House of Lords. " Southwark, May 9." Immediately on the intelligence of the defect of Mini sters on the Reform Bill being received in Banbury, the Reform Committee met, and an address to the King, call ing on his Majesty to create Peers, was drawn up for the signature of the inhabitants. The following placard has been posted at Canterbury : " TO THE RZFORMERS OT CANTTRBUAY. " Reformers, to your post ! Again the Lords have shown themselves in their true light ! They they de feated the Ministry, on an important particular of the Bill, by a m tjority of 33 ! The Committee is adjourned , to Thursday next, and in the interim we In ty expect to hear that Earl Grey has resigned, or that a sufficient num ber of new Peers has been made to insure the success of the great, the inestimable measure. In either case the crisis will hare arrived, and every Reformer must be in readiness to adopt such a course of proceeding as may he necessary to secure the liberties of the country. On the spirit and policy now displayed by Englishmen will de pend the fate of the Government and the nation. The Reformers of Canterbury will not be behind on this great and soul-animating occasion ! DETERMINED REFORMER. " Canterbury, Miy 8." KINGILOAN.-At a meeting of the Town Council of Kinghorn, held on Saturday, a petition to the House of Lords in favour of the English Reform Bill was speed upon, and also a petition in favour of the Government mea sure for education in Ireland. The liberal views and policy of this re•pecttble body of men, both berore and since the introduction of the Reform Bill, has fur many years been the admiration of the public.— Caledonian Mercury. CHELTENH•M.—On Saturday, the 28th ult., an at• tempt was made to establish a Political Union, to be called, par excellence, " The Chtltenham True Blue Club." The slightest computation of numbers on each side of the question might have convinced the " Conservatives" that the advocates of Constitutional Reform in Cheltenham are as one hundred to one, competed with the adversaries of the measure. A society is now formed, called " The Cheltenham Loyal and Patriotic Association, for the purpose of obtaining, by lawful and constitutional means, a full, fair, and free representation of the people in Farlia• ment."— Cheltenham Journal. REFORM. MEETING AT NORTH SIIIELDS.-On Wed n-aday last, at seven in the evening, a public meeting was tv-Id at the George Tavern, in North Shields, to a lopt reso'utions, and a petition founded thereon, praying the llottAe of Lords to pa.s the Reform Bill unmutilred iu any of its essential features, more especially in tha clause which secures the franchise to 101. householileis Several members of the Council of the Northern Politi cal Union attended. Mr. Turnbull wee cal!ed to the chair, and delivered a long and able speech in support of ' ,he measure, and was followed by Messrs. Coates and .Marshall. A petition was agreed to, and ordered to b. forwarded to Earl Grey for preservation. Several of tb. ,nerobers of the Northern Political Union were pre , ent, and of whom Messrs. Fife and Larkin addressed flit .netting. The former, at the conclusion of hi. peed), observed, " We shill amp inert again. We ,hall speedily meet, either to shake hands arid con gratulate each other on the success of this measure, or, if it should unfortunately be rejected, and the Union ebobld be irdled upon to put forth all the majestic strength of its L lOO,OOO inete'ers, we shalt meet to add strength to our uoios, and to take such measures as the necessity of dlr daft may demand, in order to save ourselves from threatened destruction."—(Loud cheers.) An apology was offered for Mr. Attwood's ai , sence, which happened from hip being away from home when the notice of the meeting art ived. BURY REFORM NIRETING.—A public meeting was hel • it the Guildhall, Bury, on Monday last, to petition the Lords on the subject of the Reform Bill, especially as re tarded the 101. franchise. The Alderman, R. M. Carsa, Esq., said, that in compliance with the wishes of the re quisitionists, he had convened the meeting, but would other decline presiding, as it was generally wished he should do. Mr. Eagles was therefore called to the Chair, and delivered an eloquent address to the assembly, at the dose of which he observed, that it had been said, that the people composing the various meetings could be stopped with the bayonet ; and what the soldiery could not do, the Duke of Wellington could. Such language came from those who ought to have known better than to um it. It had been also said by the Earl of Eldon, indict. tnents could be framed to compel those who refused to pay taxes; now if the Earl of Eldon, or Sir Charles Wetherell, or any other lawyer, were ingenious enough to frame an indictment, be should like to know where they would find a Jury who would convict their countrymen of a conspiracy against themselves.—(Cheers.) Mr. Coates read the resolutions (three in number), the first expressing the unalterable attachment of the meeting to the Bill ; the secoed, directing a petition to by framed on them, praying the Lords to pass the Reform Bill without mutilation, more especially as regarded the 101. clause, and that the petition be presented by the Duke of Grafton ; and the third, expressive of the confidence of the meeting in Lords Grey, Brougham, and Althorp, and his Majesty's Ministers. After several other persons hail addressed the meeting, thanks were moved to the Alderman for his kindness in convening the meeting ; and to the county Members for their support of the Reform Bill. After which thanks having been given to Mr. Eagle, the meet ing then separated.—Bury Herald. ROCLIESTIER. —On Thursday evening, a public meeting of the working classes of Rochester, Chatham, and the ne'ghbourlsood, was held at the Five Bells, St. Margaret's, to agree upon a petition to the House of Lords, praying their Lordships to pan the Reform Bill into a law. About 300 persons were present, and Mr. Flack took the chair. In moving the resolutions, very appropriate speeches were delivered by Meagre. Cooper, Athway, Elliott, and Wilson. A petition, in conformity with the ob ject of the meeting, was adopted without a dissentient voice. PUBLIC REFORM MEETING AT HADDINGTON.-Fri day the inhabitants of Haddington and neighbourhood made the finest turn-out ever witnessed in that quarter. About four o'clock the trades and burgesses assembled, and took their respective stations, according to the arrange ment previously entered into, at the West Port Toll, and walked in procession, enlivened by two hands of music, down the front street, through Nungate, and round by the Waterloo-bridge to the East Mill Haugh, where the hustings were erected. The weavers walked foremost in the procession, followed by the skinners, shoemakers, hammer men, burgesses, carters, gardeners, tailors, bakers, wrights, and masons. The skinners carried two large horns on a pole, and on another a stuffed sheep, with a quantity of grass in its mouth. The shoe makers wore black aprons. Their banners bore the words—" We stand to the last." The carters had a sort of garland, with small models of a plough and harrow suspended therefrom. The gardeners carried gar lands, and crowns composed of flowers. The tailors wore green aprons and sashes. The bakers carried a sheaf of wheat, and a small crown, with several biscuits hanging round it. There were about 17 or 18 banner, in all. After taking their station round the }rusting', the bands played " God save the King," the multitude standing un covered. On the motion of Mr. Neale, senior bailie of Haddington, R. Stuart, Esq., of Alderston, was called to the chair. Mr. Stuart then addressed the meeting, and was followed by several other gentlemen. The resolutions, petition to the House of Lords, and memorial to Earl Grey, and his colleagues in the ministry, were carried by accla mation ; and at the conclusico, three cheers were given to the King, three cheers to Earl Grey, three cheers for Re form, and three cheers to Mr. Wilkie, the oldest Re former in Haddington. The band having played " God save the King ;" the procession returned to the front street, and, halting before Bailie Neale's door, gave three cheers. They then went to the house of Provost Dunlop, and paid him the same compliment, which he acknowledged in a neat speech. By eight o'clock the streets were as quiet as if nothing of the kind had taken place. There were not less than 8,000 persons present at the meeting.-- Caledo nian Mercury. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sit —The Reformers throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland will be at their post, and will not fail to do their duty. The refusal on the part of the King arises from a deep-laid intrigue, of which he has become the victim. 'I he people must not despair—the true friends of liberty will not desert them. Lord Grey has fully done his duty--he quits administration, but preserves his integrity ; he stands higher than he ever did—he has proved tru to his trust. It will now be known who are the real friends of the people, and their positive enemies. Female influence will never be submitted to by Englishmen. The King must be wary whom he calls to his Councils The Duke of Wellington, indecently enough, showed him self at the Levee, and courted the smiles of Majesty, but no notice was taken of him. The King was much affec ted after Lord Grey's departure. The voice of the peo ple will he spoken, and ere some few weeks have elapsed, when weak and timid women shall have been proved to have been imposed upon. The King of England, it is to be confidently hoped, will recall to his Cabinet those men who, with bolder assistants, will meet, and carry into effect, the wishes of the people. "'Philo-Radical" was led into an error. Lord Ellen borough made the confession by arrangement, but he de layed to do so until he had caught the Duke of New castle, Earl Mansfield, anti others. The whole intrigue shall be soon told. RADICAL. THE KING'S LEVEE. Ilia Majesty arrived in town about one o'clock yesterday from the Palace at Windsor.

After the close of the Court the King gave an audience to Lord Lyndhurst. At half-past six o'clock his Majesty left town for Windsor, escorted by a party of Lancers. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NE rf.v.f RKE, T FIRST SPRING MEETING, Tuesday, May 8. This was decidedly the most important day's racing of the season ; it has fully supported Beiram's previous running, at the same time that it proves all the other Derby nags that have hitherto appeared to be very moderate. Beiram, therefore, is looked upon by many good judges as safe to win the Derby if he keeps well. The 2,000 gs. Stakes is not calculated to have much influence on the betting about Margrave, as Archibald would have bad all his work to win, if the Posthuma colt (a draft from the King's stud) had been a fortnight longer in training. The running was made by Rotterdam and Mirabeau till near the cords, where Archibald and Posthuma came out together, Spen cer at the same time being pretty forward ; Posthuma ran out a little when within the cords, notwithstanding which he continued to run Archibald to a neck. Value of the stakes, in cluding the winner's, 1,5..50/. The race between Beiram, Non Compos, and Count Robinson, was poorly contested; Beiram came off in front at a capital pace, made all the running, and won very easy by a length—Non Compos could not get up, and Count Robinson was beaten eight or ten lengths. The finest race was for the Handicap of 10 40111. each ; 15 came to the post, and got of at the first start nearly abreast, keeping so till inside the ropes, where the following horses were so close together that it was either for choice :—Zany, Black Daphne, Paddy, Landrail, Theban, Chapman, and Marvel ; a few lengths from the chair, Marvel, Chapman, and Theban singled themselves out, and r a n a beautiful race home, Marvel winning by a head only, and the third horse only a neck and shoulder behind, the others well up. The race between Coroner and Oppidan was won by the former by ten lengths, rode by Mann ; it to 1 on him ; Oppidan was scarely in a fit state to run a three mile race. In the evening the Kingston-house Rooms were crowded, and plenty of betting took place about Beira's', who was backed at 4 to 1 ; Byzantium also sprung three or four points.

The news of the out-voting of Ministers by the boroilzh mongering Peers, in the House of Lords on Monday night, ma schedule A of the Reform Bill, arrived here by special express from the The Sun Office shortly after the arrival of the mail yesterday. The unwelcome tidings spread with corresponding rapidity throughout the whole tewn And neighbourhood, and created the most alarming con .ternation amongst the Reformers, as so sudden a defect was by no means anticipated. The Reformers immedi ately met to concert measures the most proper to adopt under the circumstances, and the Committee meeting, to watch the progress of the Bill, which was to have taken place at the House of Mr. J. C. Dyer (t wealthy mer chant), in Mosley-street, this evening, was convened for this morning, to be held at the Town-hall, at eleven o'clock ; in pursuance of which the following circular was addressed to each member of the Committee. " Sir,—Ministers having been left in a minority of. 5, last night on schedule A of the Reform Bill, you are earnestly re quested to attend a meeting of the Committee to-morrow (Wed nesday) morning, at the Town-hall, at eleven o'clock precisely, and nut at Mr. Dyer's, as before ordered. Yours respecfully, " EDWARD BAXTER. " Manchester, May 9. " RICHARD POrEER." The gentlemen whose names are attached to the circular are two influential Reformers, and Members of the Com mittee. The Committee alluded to was formed in Sep tember last, and it was a few days ago under consideration to call a public meeting of the inhabitants, for the purpose of petitioning against any mutilation of the Bill ; but it was declined, until it was seen the course the Bill was likely to take in Committee. Another party, however, less patient, or less discretionary, acting, as it is supposed, under the ad vice of Mr. Cobbett, whose partisans they are, advertised a public meeting yesterday, to take place in St. Peter's -field, on Monday next ; the placard calling the meeting bore the signatures of several respectable men, being the fern of that else• in the town admirers of Mr. Cobbett and his principles. It is most likely at the present crisis that all ranks of Reformers will co-operate, and that a great meet ing will be held under the banners of the influential and the wealthy of the town and neighbourhood, when the opinions of this populous district on the subject of the Bill, and the conduct of its opposers, will again be thundered forth for the consideration of the callous Antis. The in habitants preserve the utmost confidence in the Noble Pre mier, and crowds of persons were this morning assembled round the Times office, reading with apparent satisfaction extracts from the speech of Lord Grey, pasted upon the windows, in which he expresses his determination to ad. here to the principles of the Bill. LEICESTER MAY 9. On the arrival of the express announcing the defeat of Ministers, in this town yesterday, a handbill was imme diately issued by the Council of the Leicester and Leices tershire Political Union, calling a public meeting for the following morning. In pursuance of this notice, a meet ing has this day been held in the Ilumberstone Gate, which was attended by the majority of the adult male po pulation of the town. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock, by Robert Brewin, E 9. (the Chairman of the Political Union) who was surrounded on the hustings hy the Rev. Mr. Berry, Rev. Mr. Wigg, Mr. Coltman, Mr. Paget, (one of the Members for the county,) Mr. Stokes, Mr. Whetstone, Mr. Biggs, Mr. Riley, Mr. S. Stone, Mr. 1 . 110114aP, ~t Ki,igliton, &c. &c. Eloquent and very spirited addresses were delivered by moat of those gentlemen, in moving and seconding resolu tions, and a petition to the King to exercise his royal prerogative in the creation of Peers, all of which were carried unanimously, and expressed the unabated attach ment of the meeting to the great mesoure of Reform, and their confidence in the determination of his Majesty and his Ministers, to take such steps as would insure its success. T,;e large area of the Humberstone Gate was crowded to the utmost extent at which the ♦oice of the speakers could be hem!. Numerous banners, bearing appropriate mottoes, &e. were placed round the hustings, and the whole scene was of the most gratifying and animated de scription. There could not have been fewer than seven thousind persons on the ground, and speeches were deli vered by members of the working classes, which for abi lity, many Noble Lerds might have attempted in rain to equal. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 9, 1832. We have been strongly excited here tc-day on the dis astrous news of the defeat of the Ministry on Monday night ►ast on the Reform Question. It appears here pretty clearly that Peers must be created, or that the Ministry must go out ; and if it does go out, what Ministry can stand, unless pledged to a Main equal to that which has been before the country fur the last eighteen months. With out this pledge will the present House of Commons vote a shilling of supplies; and, without supplies, how is the huge machine of Government to work? Our Reformers were etrly on the alert, a few handbills were issued, calling a preparatory meeting at the old Town Hall at noon. As fast as parties heard of the call, they assembled on the sport, and at one o'clock, when the Chair was taken by Alderman Howard, the room was crowded to excess. A long conversation took place as to what measures should be pursued, when it was determined to request the Mayor to call a meeting for Friday next. This the Mayor has subsequently assented to; and a meeting will be held on Friday, to consider what measures slicUld be adopted to manifest the feeling of this part of the country. It is impossible to say what will then be done, as the position of things may be much changed ere that period ; but it is expected that the meeting will resolve on a declaration to be sent to his Majesty of their wishes, and of their deter mination to support no Ministry but such as will grant the country a full, fair, and equal voice in the House of Commons. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. STATE OF OPINION IN THE METROPOLIS —PREPA RATIONS TO ADDRESS THE KING—CUITING OFF THE SUPPLIES—REFUSAL TO PAY TAXES. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The conduct of the House of Lords in throwing out the Bill (for throwing it out it is to all intents and purposes) has occasioned the most extraordinary excitement. During the whole of yesterday morning the metropolis was divided between two current rumours —one, that the King would create Peers, and the other, which began to as the day advanced, that Earl p eawGhin r iehri e utnwei v os ysesaeei couldlhlwf dm admirationnin cdr o tieoi r t tgt hi ann g heoke r i fdeatnj abyss ra ll y in consequence of the King's refusal. n ch pa s e t uue r n,b peisni should himself uadit as yass e o, na i believe ov;meleodxontegezhasil deserting cern t thtti a ,nhpge K t oulit plunge hgv g aeee , t ri of his thron:yiur4iptispocaeetoiolihfid the welfare of the people, he is stability most emphatically pledged to support. In the City all trade is at a stand—the Funds are falling; and it is ad mitted on all hands that the resignation of Lord Grey will be the signal for the total destruction of confidence, for an immense fall of Stocks, and for a paralvsation of all the commercial energies of the Empire. Throught the whole metropolis —east, west, north, and south—there is but one opinion of the step which the Lords hive thought proper to take, and but one opinion on the course which it becomes the people to pursue. This eouree is TO CUT OPY THE SUPPLIES, AND TO LET THE LAW TALE ITS COURSE WITH REGARD TO THE PAYMENT OF TAXES ! ! This is no idle whisper—it is proclaimed aloud—we hear at every corner, in every shop, in every counting-house, un 'Change, in short, in every pl ice where one man can com municate with another, there will be no disturbances. No, the people will not play ,into the hands of the Tories—they have surer cards, and are too wise to throw up the game when they have it in their own bands. r Much indignation has been excited by the conduct of the " Waverers;" they and the Bishops are denounced on every hand. The QUEEN and the backstairs party come iu fur their full share of public execration ; but what shall we say of the King ? We refrain to repeat what we haze heard ; but this we senture to a ssert, that as amake vigorous i and decided support of this great measurie him infinitely the most popular—so can now will arefusal to adopt the only means by w hich it • POW beeat ried—make him one of the most unpopular Sovereigns that every swayed the British sceptre .

To-day the Common Coutiri will meet, and to-morrow a Common Hall is summoned, when the City Rejtaegitatives will be instructed to refu e Supplies. In short, the resignation of the Ministry w be the signal for a moral revolution sorb as England ha. never yet witnessed. As to a Tory Ministry retaini g office for one month, the idea is absurd—the people vet).- t r eed through the flimsy veil which th e T o , i es wo„l.. cast over their eyes—they will not (with Omit will) let t,ern have one single I .rthing—thty will not accept any I.eform which they may offer_ e nd, what is still more, wiles+ this Bill be passed imimdiately, untnutilated both iu principle and extent, they will not he satisfied without I much larger measure of Reform, which, in addition to •he principles of enfranchisement and disfranchisement, shall embrace those of shortening the duration of Parlia ments—securing freedom of election by the introduction .if the ballot, and extending the franchise to every min, whether he live in a house or a garret—whether he be vorth a hundred thousand pounds r a hundred pence-- who shall not be stultified by ignorance, or disgraced by crime. The universal cry is, "we were offered ten shil lings in the pound ; we agreed to accept it ; but if that be denied, we will now be content with nothing but payment in full ! ! THE REFORM BILL.

An express edition of The Sun, supplied by Mr. Mansell, euage us to give the result of the important division in the }Luse of Lords on Monday night. (From the Cheltenham Chronicle of Thursday, May 10. ) We thank the proprietors of The Sun newspaper for the express we received, conveying the first report of Monday night's debate in the Lords. This is the third time within this two months the country has been thus favoured, and we can only add that the spirit, talent, and independence of this Journal merit general support in every part of the kingdom. (From the Salopian Journal of Wednesday, May 9.) By the great exertions of the proprietors of The Sun Newspaper, and the kindness (to them we feel proud to say habitual) of the gentiemen who manage the affairs of our local Poet-office, we were, at two o'clock yesterebttre favoured with an express edition of The Sun, from which we learn that Earl Grey sustained a signal defeat at the very outset of the Committee in the Reform Bill. (From the Leicester -Herald of Wednesday, 'May 9.) TILE Su.v PAPER.-We are enabled, through the kindness of the proprietors of the above print, to insert part of the debate on the Reform Bill, which care on la the House of Lords, on Monday evening. The Hotta adjourned at twelve o'clock, and at nine the next more' ing, we were furnished by extraordinary express, a die tance of one hundred miles, with the division on tbit momentous occasion, besides five columns of closely printeil debate. Differing with The Sun on this Bill, we canno t but applaud such exertions, while it reflects the greates t credit on the conductors of the paper. (From the Sheffild Iris of Tuesday, May 8.)

NEWPORT, (ISLE OF WIGHT), 3.1:0" The Reformers of the Isle of Wight feel deeply indcbt e ` to the spirited proprietors of The Sum paper, for the rs pidity with which the news of the defeat of Ministers 0 communicated.

Part of the leadi a. article of The Sun of yesterday was extracted, and pri► tt i . for posting and circulation. The Reformers are tively alive to the importance of a manifestation of low opinion at this important crisis. Yesterday the walls of all the public thoroug l ' fares were placarded with laige bills, of which t h e f o lio° ing is a copy : ._e, E nglishmen!! ! if you wish to hay for Pri me Mi n i ster an individual of known tile ° , patriotism, and true constitutional principles, let meeti o be held, without delay, in every part of the country' consider the propriety of petitioning his norm to , to his co unc il s h i s Royal Highness the Duke of Sus l Under the guidanceof so illustrious a charact er , anlo eminent a Statesman, will the tranquillity, prosperityr . ,,, regeneration of the country, be assured : and in the g rs ) ,' tulle of th e nat i on, an d an i mper i s h a bl e name, w ill Royal Highness find a glorious reward."
