(From the Northampton Herald, Saturday, May 12.) The Sun newspaper was left at our office yesterday morning, containing a full report of the debate in the House of Commons on Thursday evening, on Lord Ebrington's motion. This de. spatch is almost unequalled in the annals of expresses through the country. (From the Kilkenny Journal, Friday, May RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY.—The uncommon and very grateful activity of the Messrs. Johnston, of Dublin, have enabled 1.1,, by means of an express edition of Wednesday evening's Sun, to quote the ominous announcement from the Times of that morning. (From the Norwich Mercury, Friday, May 11.) The liberality of the Proprietors of The Sun has again ena bled us to present to an expectant public the substance of the debate on Lord Ebrington's motion in sixteen hours after its conclusion. The Sun deserves the thanks and support of the public. (From the East Anglian (Norwich), Tuesday, May 15.) We are indebted to the active exertions of The Sun for two express editions of that paper this week, by which means we have been enabled to assist in the extension of the important news which they conveyed. We beg to tender to the con ductors of that Journal, our warmest thanks for their courtesy and liberality. (From the Bolton Chronicle, Saturday, May 12.) An express edition from The Sun office, dated three o'clock, Friday morning, arrived in Bolton at half-past nine o'clock the same night, being an instance of despatch and public spirit en titling the Proprietors of that paper to the public confidence and support. By it we learn that Lord Ebrington's Address was carried. ;From the Bury and Su fink Hrrald, May 16.) The result of the division on Lord Ebrington's motion was known y vii Friday afternoon, at a quarter past two, by an extraordinary despatch of the Proprietors of The Smi news paper, to whom we were indebted for a lengthened and elabo. rate debate on a motion which did not terminate till a quarter past two that morning. (From the Cork Southern Reporter, Thursday May 10.) We are indebted to those most universally useful agents for the Public Press of this country, the Messrs. Johnston, of Dublin, for a copy of the express edition of The Sun of Mon day night, which has, by one of those efforts peculiar to itself, brought down the vastly important proceedings of the House of Lords to its rising at twelve o'clock on Monday night. Western Luminary, or Exeter Independent, of May 13.) We hare to thank the spirited conductor of The Sun news paper for the promptitude with which he communicated to the country the important divisions on Lord Lyndhurst's and Lord Ebrington's motions. In both instances The Sun reached us in eighteen hours afters its publication. The division on the motion made by Lord Ebrington, which took place on Friday morning, reached this city the same evening. (From the Preston Chronicle of Saturday, May We have just received (Saturday morning, eight o'clock) a copy of The Sun newspaper, dated three o'clock, yesterday morning, brought by express, and which arrived at half-past twelve this morning, but has been kept from us until this hour, through the stupidity of the person to whom it was intrusted at the inn where the express changed horses. The paper brings down the debate on Lord Ebrington's motion to its close, when the House divided. (From the Perthshire Courier, Thursday, May 10.) All interest in a retrospect of last week's news is absorbed in the immensely greater attraction and importance of the follow ing intelligence relative to the defeat of the Ministry on Mon day night, on the first question mooted in the Committee of the Lords on the Reform BILL For this we are indebted, as usual, to the public-spirited exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun, whose express reached Perth in 46 hours after the conclusion of the debate! (From the Hampshire Advertiser, Southampton, May 12.) At an early hour yesterday we were favoured with an express edition of The Sun, containing the debate of ThUrsday down to the division which took place at half-past two o'clock yesterday morning. We notice it as a proof of the extraordinary exer. tions of the Proprietors of that paper. It was transmitted by express to Winchester, and forwarded from thence to our office. We took the earliest opportunity of making it generally known throughout the town. (From the Salopian Journal, Shrewsbury, Wednesday, Mayii .) By the great exertions of the Proprietor of The Sun Newspaper, and the kindness (to them we feel proud to say habitual) of the gentlemen who manage the affairs of our local Post Office, we were at two o'clock yesterday 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 Corn mittec on the Reform Bill. (From the Bristol Mercury, Saturday, May 1'2.) An express edition of The Sun paper arrived at our office, containing the whole of the debate on Lord Ebrington's motion for an address to his Majesty on the present crisis. To the Proprietor of that paper we stand personally indebted, for his kindness in causing it to be forwarded immediately to our office. The public are generally indebted to him, for his spirited exertions in furnishing them with the earliest in. telligence. (From the Preston Pilot, Saturday, May 1'2.) EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—We have been fa voured with The Sun newspaper, by special express, con taining the whole of the debate on Thurseay night on Lord Fbrington's motion. The paper was received here at half-past twelve last night (Friday) ; and as the division did not take place till three o'clock yesterday morning, (allowing for a short time before the papers could be ready,) we had the news here in about twenty hours after leaving Loudon !—an instance of great exertion on the part of the Proprietors of The Sun. (From the Belfast Guardian, Friday May IL) - , EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—Through the as. tonishing exertions of Messrs. Johnston and Co. of Dublin, we received, on Wednesday evening, The Sun of Monday. So anxious were Messrs. Johnston that their customers should re ceive their papers at a very early period, that one of that re spectable firm followed the mail-coach to Newry on horse back, and having overtaken it there, transmitted the requisite journals to this town. (From Felix Farky's Bristol Journal, Saturday, May P 2.) We arc indebted to the Proprietors of The Sun paper, for the report of the debate on Lord Ebrington's motion, which was received in Bristol by express from their office at half-past five ye*terday afternoon; and as no London Morning Papers have yet reached us, The Sun has anticipated the ordinary channel of intelligence, the post, by at least fifteen hours. Though we abhor the revolutionary language in which The Sun so often indulges, we are bound to acknowledge the courtesy of its Pro prietors to ourselves, and the anxiety they have evinced to put the city of Bristol in possession of the two important divisions which occurred this week. (From the Cheltenham Chronicle, Monday, May 12.) The Proprietors of The Sun, evening paper, have our best thanks, and merit those of the public, for their unprece dented exertions in affording the earliest possible information of every important event connected with the Reform Bill, and of interest to the People. At three o'clock in the afternoon of Friday last, we received, by express, a copy of The Sun, containing the debate of Lord Ebrington's motion, and the division of the House, which had taken place at three o'clock the same morning! only twelve hours before the Paper reached us!! (From the Birmingham Journal of Saturday, May P 2.) The death bells, of the different churches of Birmingham tolled from eight o'clock oh Thursday evening, till eight o'clock on Friday morning, in consequence of the resignation of th e mi n i s try, and the supposed loss of the Reform Bill. testerday, after the arrival of The SUSI express, bringing the result and particulars of the glorious debate in the House of Commons, on Lord Ebrington's motion, the tone of despair and death were changed for that of hope and delight. The ringers gave us joy ous Peals, and "all went merry as a marriage bell.' ;From the Reading Mercury, Monday, May 14.) Our obligations are again due to the Editor of The Sr'n for having twice this week favoured ui with copies of that paper by express, containing the important proceedings in the House of horde on Monday, and in the House of Commons on Thursday even i n g, While thus acknowledging the liberality and spirit w ith which The Sun is conducted, we should be wanting in can dour did we not at the same time recommend it as possessing cla i ms to public patronage paramount to every other evening journal. The express on Tuesday morning arrived at our office as early as rive o'clock, and on Thursday by seven,—enablim. us On both occasions to publish an abstract of the debate in handbill; and some idea may be formed of the eagerness of th, public for information, when we state that upwards of Ore: thousand copies each morning were fetched away by different persons. ;From the Sheffield Mercury, Saturday, May 1:::) THE SUN.—We cannot too much commend the in , lustr and public spirit of the Proprietors of The Sun Evening Paper i❑ despatching, at immense expense, expresses through th, country, with intelligence of the fate of the Reform Bill, and the resignation of Ministers. The cost of diintsing political intelligence with such extraordinary rapidity as has latterl:. been accomplished by the Proprietors of this Journal, will, we doubt not, be more than refunded by the increased patronag, which such unprecedented efforts to meet the wishes and allay the suspense of the public so richly merit. (From the York Herald of Saturday, May 12.) EXTRAORDINARY DESI'ATCII.—The important de bate on Lord Ebrington's motion, which did not close til; after two o'clock on Friday morning, was not only fully re ported in a Third Edition of The Sun newspaper ; but we re ceived a copy by express, in York, before twelve o'clock the same night,—we, thereby, being put in possession of the de tailed report, eight hours before the arrival of the London. Morning Papers. This wonderful despatch is not only highly creditable to the Editor of The Sun, but has placed us under an obligation to him which we think it right thus publicly and most gratefully to acknowledge. :From the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Monday, May 14.) EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.—The active exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun newspaper to give the earliest intelligence, merit the highest praise. An extraordinary ex press arrived at Messrs. James Taylor Smith and Co.'s, St. An drevr-s(:uare, on Saturday evening, bringing the full debate which took place in the House of Commons on Lord Ebring ton's motion on Thursday evening and Friday morning, being almost an entire day earlier than it could have reached us by the ordinary conveyance. The spirited and enterprising Pro prietors of this Paper merit the gratitude of the community for their extraordinary exertions. (From the Caledonian Mercury, of Monday, May 14.) EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.—The public owe a deep debt of gratitude to the spirited and enterprising Proprietors of The Sun, for their unprecedented exertions in forwarding*. portant intelligence to all parts of the country. An extaor dinary express was despatched on Friday morning with the en- tire debate in the House of Commons on Lord Ebrington's motion, which arrived at Messrs. Taylor Smith and Co.'s, St. Andrew's square, on Saturday evening, being almost a whole day earlier than we could have received it by ordinary means. Such enterprise is unparalleled in the history of the newspaper press, and cannot fail to be sufficiently appreciated by the public. (From the Tyne Mercury, Newcastle, Tuesday, May 15.) THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The news of the defeat of Ministers on Lord Lyndhurst's amendment reached this town at a very early hour on Wednesday morning last, by an express from The Sun newspaper office. In order to convey this im portant intelligence as quickly as possible through the empire, Mr. Young, the spirited Conductor of that journal, himself tra velled in a carriage and four, leaving copies of The Sun, with a full report of the debate, at every town through which he passed. Such enterprise, such anxiety to give a priority of in telligence, is deserving of liberal encouragement from the public, and we have no doubt that it will be afforded in an increased circulation. (From the Glasgow Herald, Monday, May 14 ) Although we happen not to have been particularly benefited by it, we are bound to notice the very particular attention that has been paid to this community by the Proprietor of The Sun newspaper, Mr. M. Young. The result of the division in the House of Peers on Monday evening at twelve o'clock, with the whole previous proceedings, reached Mr. Atkinson by four o'clock on Wednesday -v^n;sig, and was immediately trans mitted by him to the different reading-rooms and newspaper offices, and the express edition of that paper of Thursda; . , containing the proceedings of the House of Commons up to two o'clock on Friday morning, with the large majority in favour of Lord Grey's Administration, reached Mr. Atkinson by eight o'clock on Saturday, and was transmitted immediately by him as above. We trust the Proprietors of The Sun will be amply remunerated for their spirited exertions. !From the Dundee idvertiser, Thursday May 10.:, By an express edition of The Sun of Monday, we have re ceived a report of the proceedings in the House of Lords on the evening of that day ; from which we learn, that Ministers have been defeated, on a motion relative to the disfranchise ment clause of the Reform Bill,—an amendment moved by Lord Lyndhurst, to postpone the consideration of that clause, having been carried by a majority of 35, in a House of 267 Members. It is but justice to the public spirited Proprietors of The Sun to state, that, on the occurrence of important events, they invariable make extraordinary efforts, besides putting themselves to great expense, to dittlise the intelligence of them over the country. On the present occasion, extreme despatch must have hecn used, both in reporting and printing, as well as in travelling. The report comes down till the ad journment of the House at midnight ; and thus only forty eight hours elapsed from that period till the paper arrived in Dundee. (From the Carlisle Journal, Saturday, May THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We are again indebted to the exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun newspaper, for convey. ing to us the intelligence of the defeat of Ministers on Monday, twenty-four hours earlier than we could have had it by the usual conveyance. Just as the north mails were starting from this city on Wednesday morning, an express arrived on horseback, with copies of The Sum containing the whole of Monday night's debate. Copies of the paper were forwarded to all parts of Scotland, and thus will the intelligence have been carried to the farthest corner of the kingdom in an almost incredibly short period of time. The people of the North can never suf. ficiently testify the gratitude they owe to Mr. Young for his extraordinary exertions. We perceive by the Edinburgh papers that Mr. Young reached that city (having taken the road by Newcastle about 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. At Glasgow, the papers were received by the mail, and the intelli gence produced a strong sensation. ;From the Kelso Mail, Thursday, May 10.) We are enabled by the truly extraordinary exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun, not cnly to inform our readers of the important facts above stated, but also to lay before them a full report of the debate which led to such mighty, and at least at so early a period, unexpected results. This requires a great exertion, comparatively speaking, on our part also; for the Mail being nearly ready for the press when ne received, by way of Coldstream, the third edition of the London paper above-mentioned, we must consequently undo what was done, and reconstruct our columns, in a very hurried manner. We state this in order to account for the postponement of many articles, and the almost total exclusion of all editorial remarks. The Sun express left London early on Tuesday morning, and passed through Coldstream about mid-day yesterday. The only speculation which the paper contains is, that " it seemed to be the opinion of several Peers in the House, that an Ex traordinary Gazette, containing a list of sixty new Peers, would be published on 'Wednesday (yesterday.)" (From the Leeds Mercury, Saturday, May 12..) THE SUN NEWSPAPER—By the extraordinary ex. ertions of this public-spirited journal, the people of all the coun ties of England in the great route from south to north, were put in possession of the highly interesting though disastrous proceedings of Monday night on the Reform Bill many hours earlier than they could otherwise have obtained it; and so intent was Mr. Young, the Proprietor of that paper, upon the proper discharge of the mission, that he undertook it himself and per formed the journey in a chaise and four with a rapidity that has never been exceeded. Though the division in the Lords did not take place till after midnight on Monday, and the papers were not ready till one o'clock in the morning of Tuesday, Mr. Young arrived at the Mercury Office, in Leeds, a distance of nearly 200 miles, by six o'clock the same afternoon, having de spatched branch messengers east and west to places of import ance on the whole line of communication. These exertions to aftbrd information at the earliest possible period on a subject vitally important to the community will, we have no doubt, be rewarded with that increased patronage for this already popular journal to which, from its talent and principles, as well as from its unprecedented exertions, it is entitled. (From the Wakfield Journal of Friday, May 11.) " THE SUN," THE MOST ACTIVE AND USEFUL PAPER WE HAVE AT PRESENT. At a meeting of the Wakefield Reform Committee, it was unanimously resolved, " That The Sun has displayed the meat patriotic and ener getic attention to the interest of the country during the delibe rations of Parliament on the great question of Reform, and has surprised and delighted us by the extraordinary despatch with which the expresses on various occasion► have arrived. " That as an express of any important occurrence in the House of Lords is now of the greatest importance and benefit to the large towns interested in the scheme of Parliamentary Reform, it appears highly desirable that the laudable efforts of The Sun should be encouraged, and it is hoped that the large towns hitherto benefited by the exertions of The Sun, will follow the example of Wakefield. " That the thanks and gratitude of the nation are due to the Proprietors of The Sun, and that this meeting feels the great obligations it is under to them—obligations which it may duly appreciate, but cannot adequately reward. " J. HOLDSWORTH, High Constable, Chairman. " ROWLAND HURaiT, Secretary." (From the Derbyshire Courier, Saturday, May 12.) THE SUN.—About half-past one o'clock on Tuesday af. ternoon, we received an express copy of The Sun newspaper, containing a full report of the Parliamentary debate of the preceding evening. The express left London about one on Tuesday morning, and performed its journey to Chesterfield (on its way to the north) with that expedition which has suc cessfully gratified the public curiosity on very many important occasions. Talk of your locomotive engines or railroads ! the best speed, after all, is that of a chaise and four with our spi rited friend, Murdo Young, to make the "tits" dash along the road at the rate of 13 or 11 miles an hour !---We are indebted to a second express for enabling us to lay the result of the debate on Lord Ebrington's motion before our readers. Our acknow ledgments are made elsewhere. (From the same.) An express from London, with The Sum newspaper, con. taining the whole debate on Lord Ebrington's motion for an address to the King, arrived in Chesterfield at half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The new rooms were pofitel: upplied by the gentleman who brought the papers, and we ar. indebted to the considerate politeness of Mr. Young for copy,—by means of which we are enabled to lay before ou readers the result of the debate. The report in The Sun occL. t iles eleven columns of small type! we necessarily confine our. selves to a sketch of the all-important proceedings referred to. (From the Portsmouth Herald, Nay 13.) SOUTHAMPTON, MAY I2.—The news of the defeat ot Ministers on Monday last, was received here with the utmos, consternation. To the editor of The Sun we were indebtei . for the earliest information of this unexpected event, as also for the account of the result of Lord Ehrington's motion, which was received here by express as early as twelve o'clock on Tuesday. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, MAY P2.—The disas trous intelligence of the defeat of Ministers on the division on Monday night, was forwarded to this town on Tuesday eve ning last, by the patriotic editor of The Sun newspaper, and created one universal feeling of surprise and regret. (From the Liverpool Albion, Monday, May 14.) EARLY INTELLIGENCE. — The Sun, on two occasions during the past week, brought important intelligence by ex press. It was by the spirited conductors of that newspaper, that the people of Liverpool were made acquainted, as early as hill-past six o'clock on Tuesday evening, of the division on Lord Lyndhurst's amendment, which led to th• resignation of the Ministry. To the same parties they were indebted, at nine o'clock on Friday night, for a report of the debate on Lord Ebrington's resolutions. Both The Sun expresses were received by Mr. Arnold, news-agent, Pest-office-place. (From the Western Times (Exeter) of Saturday, May P 2.) The news of Olefin - turn:Se division in the Lords arrived at our office at half-past ten on Tuesday night express, through the patriotic exe:tions of the Proprietor of The Sun. We fita tioned one of the junior devils outside the offic., with a copy of that paper, and groups of Reformers were engaged throughout the day in conning its contents. We regret that their Lord. ships and the Right Rev. Bench had not an opportunity of hearing the remarks that fell from their lips. Our readers are indebted to the extraordinary exertions of The Sun for this in. formation. Our readers may see The Sun express Paper at our office. (From the Liverpool Journal, Saturday, May 12.) An express edition of The Sun, dated three o'clock in the morning, arrived here last night at nine, bringing an ample re port of the debate, and the result of the division on Lord Ebrington's motion. The debate will be found in another page. In a house of 496 Members, a majority of SO declared their adherence to the Reform Bill, and their vote places the question in a clear light. The Crown and the Lords are op posed to the people and their representatives; but as the latter hold the strings of the public purse, there is little doubt that the King will find it necessary to escape from the unconstitu tional advisers behind the throne. Froin the Manchester Guardian, Saturday, May 12.) We received, by express, a very late edition of The Sun newspaper of Thursday, containing the gratifying result of a motion, of which notice was on \Wednesday given by Lord Ellington, for an address to his Majesty on the present crisis of affairs. This address, expressive of the deep regret felt by the House of Commons, at the retirement from his Majesty's councils of those Ministers in whom the House of Commons continues to repose unabated confidence, and imploring his Ma jesty to call to his councils such persons only as will carry into effect, unimpaired in all its essential provisions, that Bill for the Reform of the representation of the people which has re. cently passed that House, after a lengthened and very animated debate, was, we rejoice to say, at half-past two yesterday morn ing, carried by a majorify of 288 to 208. (Hampshire Chronicle, Winchester, Monday, May 14.) An express edition of The Sun Newspaper, containing the division in the House of Lords, on Lord Lyndhurst's amend ment, was received at the office of this Paper on Tuesday morning, by eight o'clock, having been conveyed from London at the rate of fifteen miles an hour; and by this means the inns, r' Ading-rooms, and other public establishments, of the city and suburbs, were in possession of the important intelli gence several hours earlier than could have been accomplished by the ordinary modes of conveyance. Another express as. rived at the office of this Paper at nine o'clock yesterday morn ing, with several copies of The Sun, containing the of the debate of Thursday night, with the division on Lord Eb rington's motion, which did not take place until after two o'clock in the morning. Such instances of extraordinary de spatch were unknown until a determined spirit of rivalry was created between the spirited conductors of The Sun and sonic of its Evening contemporaries.' (From the Greenock Advertiser, Friday, May 11.) The public have again to thank the proprietors of The Sun newspaper for their unparalleled exertions in these eventful times—distancing all their competitors, and to Scotland, at least, anticipating by a whole day the receipt through the ordi nary channels, of the most important intelligence. The debate in the House of Lords on Monday had not terminated till mid night, and as it could scarcely have been expected, early in the evening to have taken the course it did, or to come to a conclu sion so portentous, even the vigilance of The Sun might have been excused for slumbering. On the contrary, however, we find it to have been prepared to take full advantage of the op portunity, and accordingly by the despatch of an express after the House broke up, with a full report of the debate, the intelli gence would be communicated to a❑ the places on its route, until the regular mail was overtaken, and which, on setting out, must have been more than five hours in advance of the express. Thus is another unequivocal proof given of the facility with which the period for transmitting the mails from London might be shortened; and for this, as well as the untiring assiduity which presides over the management of The Sun, we may safely take upon us again to tender the thanks of the public. (From the Sheffield Independent of Saturday, May hi) THE SUN EXPRESS.—We have had frequent occasion to bear testimony to the extraordinary exertions made by the proprietor of The Sun, in carrying early intelligence of public proceedings in the present critical state of the country, but the industry and speed which he has lately exhibited in the transmission of news to this town and to the north, has ex ceeded all precedent. On Tuesday, an express brought by Mr. Young, the proprietor, reached Sheffield at three o'clock. By this conveyance we had the latest London news up to one o'clock in the morning of the same day. Yesterday, ,Friday) a second express brought the conclusion of the debate on Lord Ebrington's motion. It left London at half past three o'clock, and furnished us with thirteen columns of the debates by a quarter before six in the evening. Immediately on its arrival, Mr. Wiley, of the Sun Tavern, newspaper agent, sent off single copies of The Sun, to Wentworth House, Bother_ ham, Doncaster, and other places. The express proceeded towards Leeds. It is but justice to Mr. Wiley to state, that he had made arrangements for conveying the London papers of yesterday morning to Sheffield, several hours earlier than the usual time, but they were superseded by the arrival of The Sun express. DUBLIN, NlAy 13. (FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) The express edition of The Sun, containing the division on Lord Ebrington's motion arrived here by the Chester mail a few minutes after three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was immediately forwarded to every town in Ireland, thus giving you the priority throughout the entire kingdom. GREAT YARMOUTH, MAY 11. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SI R,— I beg to convey to you the following resolution, which was unanimously agreed to at a meeting of the friends of Re form, held this evening :—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Editor of The Sun, for his kind attention in forwarding by express a copy of that paper to Yarmouth.

In the name of the subscribers to the Grenock Coffee-room, I respectfully request to convey to you their high sense of the obligation under which you have placed them by your kind at tention, and I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MARTIN, Treasurer of the Greenock Coffee-room. Thomas Atkinson, Esq., Glasgow. SHEFFIELD, MAI - 11. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. a—Feeling the immense importance which ought to attach to the receipt of the earliest intelligence from the seat of Go vernment on all momentous questions affecting the rights and liberties of Englishmen, the company frequenting the house of Mr. L. Ellison, Bartel, Pinstone-street, Sheffield, beg leave to express their most sincere and heartfelt gratitude for your ex traordinary exertions, and the prompt and unprecedented manner in which you have forwarded to them and the rest of the inhabitants of this town, the earliest intelligence on the great and vital subject of Parliamentary Reform. Trusting, Sir, that you will continue to persevere in those ex ertions, we shall, at all times, by every means in our power, re commend your valuable and spirited Journal to our fellow townsmen. Signed on behalf of the Company, W. HITCIIIN, President. SOUTHAMPTON. The Mayor and inhabitants of Southampton met on Monday, to consider on the petition expressive of their feeling, on the resignation of the Ministers, and the consequent disappointment in their hopes of the success of the Reform Bill. The following was agreed to at a full and respectable Meeting : TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE. LAND IN PAIILI.kMENT ASSEMBLED. We, the Mayor, and undersigned Inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Southampton, approach your Honourable measure of Reform in Parliament which has been agreed to by House with the strongest feelings of gratitude, for that e your Honourable House , and h as been transmitted to the H ouse efficient of Lords, in a Bill now under the consideration of their Lord ship's Right Honourable House—fearful, however, from the late deeply lamented resignation of his Majesty's Ministers, who possessed the entire confidence of your petitioners, in their straightforward integrity, that the said Bill may be either ulti mately rejected by the House of Lords or sent back to your Ho noura-ble House impaired in its efficiency —your petitioners most earnestly implore and confidently trust Out your Honourable House will not pass any measure of inferior efficiency, but that in the event of your Honourable House being unable by any Other means to satisfy the just demands of the people, your Ho ourable House will withhold the supplies drawn from oti Jockets and those of our fellow-countrymen, until a measure o equal efficiency shall have been passed into a law. WORCESTER, MAY 15. A public meeting was held here yesterday. Another was hel, at Bromsgrove. Some speakers from Birmingham were present ['heir detestation of Well ngton and their determination to op_ pace, by alllegal means, his coming into, or continuing in office was declared in decisive terms. Lord Plymouth's yeomanr have deserted him " How are the mighty fallen !" BIRMINGHAM, MAY 14. 7'O THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SIR,—You will see from the accompanying pamphle , that WI iave given you credit for your great exertions in furnishing to with the results of the division in the House of Lords on Moncla night. But the truth is. you are the man, and you alone, to whom we provincialists, the real people of England, are indebted for early intellig nee of what is passing in the metropolis. The Reformers of England owe you a great debt, which I hope they will repay you. Yours, &ie. W. G L. BIRMINGHAM, MAY 15. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUY send herewith an account of the Wolverhampton meet ing held yesterday. Meetings were held on the sate day at Newcastle (Staffbrdshirej, Bilston, Dudley, Wednesbury, West Bromwich. &c. I also send the important declaration .ado;.ted and put forth by the Political Council. It is being signed in twenty different places in the town, and by this time there must he nearly 30,000 names attached. I tell you as a fact, that a very respectable tradesman this day went to the B•anch Bank of Eng land and drew out his balance, upwards of 1,000/., ALL IN GOLD. Several tradesmen did the like on Saturday and Monday, and it is expected there will be a serious run upon it before the week is out. Great numbers of depositors in the savings -hank have also given notice to withdraw their deposits. The greatest ex citement continue: here, great numbers of meehAnics are thrown out of employ by the closing of many large manufactories, and are parading the streets. STAFFORDSHIRE, MAY 14. (FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.) The whole country is up This day a meeting has been held at West Bromwich, which comprised at least 7000 persons ; an. other has been held at Tipton, at which 5000 attended ; another has been held at Wednesbury, at which 50011 or 6500 were pre sent ; another at Bilston, which was attended by 20,000 ; and another at Wolverhampton, which was attended by at least 20,0'00 or 25,001. All classes are upon the stir. The clergy, par. ticularly the dissenting clergy. are nobly coming forward. The Rey. Mr. Leigh, of the establishment, presided at Bilston. At that town every shop was closed and no business whatever was transacted. Things are in a deplorable state, and are daily grow ing worse. Thousands are flocking to the Unions. '1 he iron mas ers particularly are coming forward. At the respective meetings resolutions and petitions were ado,Aed, calling for the restoration of Earl Grey and his colleagues, and for the stopping of the supplies The different signs of beershops, &c. which re late to a certain high personage, are turned up side down ; others are hung round with black crape, and others have either the crown or the sceptre defaced. The people are beginning to call for gold, a severe run upon t 1 , e banks is hourly expected. No man can insure the peace of the dictrict one hour, until some altera tion takes place. On Saturday next the manufactures will be genera ly closed. Mr. Ryton, a very influential manufactories at Wolverampton, has enrolled his name as a member of the Union, and so have most of the wealthy and respectable inha bitants. GLOUCESTER, MAY 12. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS. compliance with a requisition addressed to the Mayor of Gloucester, a meeting of the ffeemen and inhabitants of the city will take place on Wednesday next, to consider of the propriety of instructing their repres.mtatives in Parliament to oppose the granting of further supplies. Since the date of the requisition, the portentous and cala mitous intelligence has reached this place, of the appo'nt ment of the Duke of Wellington—the protesting Peer—the first and latest declared enemy of all Reform—to the station of chief adviser of his Majesty and Prime Minister of England. If the defeat oft he late Ministers struck all classes of inhabitants with consternation and dismay, this latter announcement has called forth a general feeling of indignation, which will be mani fested by more than words. The question one hears repeated in all quarters is " 1)o you mean to pay taxes ?" In the present critical state of the country, it cannot be too frequently repeated, or too powerfully impressed on the people, that the safety of the em2ire depends on their patriotism, energy any promptitude, that their only chance of escape from the toils of the patricidal faction, which seeks to perpetuate its reign of oppression and misgovernment, is to reject all com promise wi*ti their oppressors. They must suffer no insidious promize of Reform, from the enemies of all Reform, to relax their exertions. No extorted professions of regard for the people will seduce the honest Reformer into a ruinous compact with fraud and treachery. In all public meetings let the leading object—the pervading principle, be—the restoration to his 'Majesty's Councils of the honest and patriotic Ministers, in whose persons the uni versal British pe ple have received an insult front the hands of A desperate and despicable cabal. Let it be distinctly and empha tirally declared—that the people are yet willing to accept the Bill as the charter of their liberties, but that they will not trust their cause to the protection of their sworn enemies—. such pro tection as vultures give to lambs—covering and devouring them." I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, \V. K. WOLVERHAMPTON, MAY 16. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) Ever since the resignation of Earl Grey this populous town has been in a state of greet excitement. The meetings of the Union are held at the Peacock Inn, where thousands of persons as semble every night. It is with difficulty that the people are withheld from acts of violence. Immediately alter the resignation of Ministers, a requisition was most respectably signed calling a meeting for this day. The meeting was called for eleven o'clock, at which time a number, comprising at least from 15,000 to 20,000 persons proceeded, with bands of music and several banners, to the Square. The Chair was taken by It. Fryer, Esq., banker. Resolutions were adopted to the following effiTt Confidence in Earl Grey. 2. That trade would be suspended if the Bill were not imme diately passed. 3. A petition to the Commons praying that the suppliesmight be stopped. The speakers were, the Chairman . ; Richard Fryer, Esq., jun., the son of the Chairman ; the Rev. Mr. Real ; the Rev. Mr. Hunter; Messrs. Lewes, Barker, Sydney, and Simpkiss. It was announced by Mr. Sidney that he had resigned his com mission in the yeomanry, and upwards of 30 out of 40, who com posed the Tiddesley troop, had acted in a similar manner. The tone of the different speeches was of the most decided character, and it is important to notice that the speakers were chiefly men of large property. The Union is rapidly increasing ; 1300 new members entered during last week. It is the intention of several of the chief manufacturers to close their manufactories, and turn their men union the world, of the question be not quickly settled. Two thousand men will be discharged on Saturday next. The state of things is dreadful ; how it will end, it is impossible to decide. The Duxes of Wellington's name is heard at every corner, accompabied not with the blessings of the people. A de_ putation, consisting of the Rev. Mr. Roar, and Messrs Fryer and Pearson, have started for London with the petition and address. LICHFIELD, MAY 14. TO THE FDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--Lichfield--the birth-place of Johnson, the cradle of Addison—has, I am happy to inform you, taken her place among the foremost in the sacred cause of Reform. The news of the defeat of Ministers was received with something near a kin to apathy; but their resignation was a thunderbolt. A petition to address the King to exercise his prerogative to create Peers, was put in course of signature on the receipt of the first intelligence ; when its result—the resignation of Ministers, followed, a requisition for a public meeting was instantly put forth, and to the great credit of the town clerk he took a most active part in promoting it. At ten o'clock this morning, the meeting was held, in the Town-hall, The High Bailiff opened the proceedings, but from extreme ill health was obliged to vacate the chair, which was subsequently filled by the High Sheriff Three cheers were given, before commencing busi ness, for Lord Grey, three for Lord Brougham, three for Lord J. Russell, and three for Lord Althorp. The resolutions were moved and seconded by the Rev. Dr. Harwood, H. D. Acland, Esq., and several other of the principal inhabitants. The following address was adopted, and in less than two hours and a half had received nearly 500 signatures. A REFORMER. "TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the under signed electors and inhabitants of the city and county of Lich field, beg leave to assure your Majesty of our sincere attachment to the principles of the British Constitution ; and at the same time most humbly to express our belief, that the passing of the Bill, lately introduced into Parliament, to amend the represen tation of the people in the House of Commons, is essential to the maintenance of peace and good order, and to the security of our civil and religious establishments. " And we feel it our duty to approach your Majesty at this awful crisis, and not without alarm and dismay, to testify our deep regret at the recent division upon that Bill in the House of Lords, and at the manifestation in that House of an unreasona ble and reckless opposition to the wishes of your Majesty's loyal subjects, so long and repeatedly expressed, through their repre sentatives in the House of Commons, and on various other legi timate occasions. " We, therefore, in all humility, implore your Majesty to re. call your late Ministers to your confidence and council, and to adopt such measures as your Majesty in your wisdom may deem sufficient to enable them to carry the Bill through the House of Lords, by which the Constitution will be renovated and strength ened. the security of the State insured, the tranquillity of the country restored, and satisfaction given to every class of your Majesty's subjects." WARWICK POLITICAL UNION. Yesterday a public meeting of the Warwick Political Union was held at the Grand Stand on the Race course, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the present alarming state of the country, and adopting such measures in favour of the great cause of Parliamentary Reform as might appear expedient. On this interesting occasion a great number of persons not belong ing to the Union attended the meeting, and heartily applauded its proceedings. Several of the members delivered very spirited addresses ; resolutions of a very firm and patriotic character were proposed, seconded, and unanimously adopted; and the following petition, agreeing with and founded upon the resolu tions, was submitted to the meeting, and received with enthu siastic applause: — TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PA RLI A MENU ASSEMBLED. THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE WARWICK POLITICAL UNION, SIIEWETII,—That, impressed with the deepe.it and most painful emotions of sorrow, disappointment, disgust, and dismay, excited by the daring and desperate manoeuvres of the self-interested and infatuated boroughtnonger faction, who have delude I, though, we trust, only for a moment, our well-meaning hut dreadfully misguided Sovereign—who have blasted the long and fondly cherished hopes and wishes of his loyal subjects—who have driven from the helm of Government an Administration pos sessing and deserving the confidence of the nation, and who have thrown the nation itself into a state of indescribable distress, agi tation, and alarm. Under these appalling circumstances we fly to your Honourable Rouse, as our natural and legally appointea guardian., and we implore, most humbly but mostearnestly, that You will remain true to yourselves and faithful to us, at this awful moment of difficulty and danger, and that you will hold out for our protection the constitutional power lodged in your hands of reftaing to grant the supplies, until the just demand:: an almost unanimmus people have been granted, and the Before unmutilated, has received the Royal assent. As men, an/ - is Englishmen, we feel ourselves entitled to claim more, but cer sinly not less, than the full restoration of the rights secured t, .is by the Bill of Reform twice approved by a majority of you: lonourable House; and we beg to assure you, that we partici ,ate in common with the great body of our fellow-countrymen. n their firm and unalterable ros,dotion, never to desist fro arging our reasonable and constitutional claim to a fair, free, an, adequate representation in Parliam;•nt, till that claim is acknow edged and established by the laws of the laud. And your petitioners, &c. At the close of the proceedings the following was enthu siastically sung by the whole meeting, and the effect was suci as maybe conceived of men who had assembled together to assert their constitutional rights, and whose hearts were warns in the glorious cause : GOD GRANT TILE PEOPLE'S RIGHT! TUNE—" God save the King." God grant the people's right ! Fill our heart's with delight : God grant our right ! It not her foes destroy England's fair hopes of joy— () God, Thy power employ!— Grant us our right ! Guard us from slay'ry's chain While we our claims maintain ! God grant our right Britons are true and brave ;- - And who would he a slave 0 God our country save I Grant us our right'. Shall Wellington be King We rise on Freedom's wing— I❑ Freedom's light— And bid that King appear ? We feel no dastard fear— If all our foes were here We'd claim our right ! Britons ! be firm and free ! Bend not the humble knee To ask rout- right ! Prince of Waterloo! your C 3 T 6 Millions shall see arise, Thundering to the skies We claim our right ! REFORM MEETING at ST. IVES, MAY 15. The most numerous and respectable public meeting ever held in this town, (St. Ives, Huntingdonshire) took place last evening, pursuant to public notice, in the large room at the White Hart, Mr. A. Ashton in the chair, when the several resolutions for Reform were proposed and seconded by the Rev. J. K. Holland, Mr. T. D. Paul, G. G. Day, Esq., and Mr. J. Leigh. They were all carried without a dissenting voice. That which proposed our noble-minded and straight-forward representative, (J. B. Rooper, Esq.) to present the petition, was received with deafening and continued applause. If the mili tary Premier dare dissolve the Commons, his tools and sup porters in this county will meet such a reception as they never experienced before. They will be hurled, without ceremony, from their high places, and J. B. Rooper, Esq , returned tri umphantly, as he was before, as their true and real represen. Wive. Let any -of the freeholders in London who have votes for this country prepare for the contest, should there be one, and be determined to return him again, as their Mem ber, to a House of Commons that shall dislodge the Premier ani his Ministry from their seats into the abyss of obscurity, which so well becomes them. LINCOLN, MAY 14. Only one feeling animates the city of Lincoln, and which is a sufficient spur to urge on to active and strenuous exertion, namely, securing to the people an efficient Reform of Parlia ment, and of sending to the " right-about" that uncompro mising opponent of the peoples' rights and friend of corruption, Colonel Sibthorpe. The ranks of the Reformers are daily gaining new accessions of strength, and the men of Lincoln indicate, by their activity, zeal, and perseverance, a disposition not to be mere passive spectators of the great battle between the people and the boroughlnongers. Another great meeting will be held this evening, in com pliance with the following requisition, which was es.tensively circulated in the city this morning:— TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR. We, the undersigned, do respectfully request your Worship to reconvene, pursuant to adjournment, the meeting adjourned on Friday, the 11th May, M 32, hoping that it may be convenient to hold such meeting on Monday next, at sea en o'clock. (Here follow the names 01 the requisitionists.) In compliance with the above requisition, 1 hereby convene a public meeting of the inhabitants of the City Bail and Close of Lincoln, to be held (by adjournment from Friday last) in the Guildhall, on Monday, the 14th instant, at seven o'clock in the evening. Ni; M. WRIGLESWORTH, Mayor. May 12, 18.72. The following spirited placard is also exhibited in all the most conspicuous parts of the town : Reformers of Lincoln. sleep not at your posts ! Tonight attend at the Guildhall another important meeting! The object of this meeting is to enter into resolution; to sup port, in conjunction with Mr. Heneage, whose public conduct has fully justified the confiden,a —hich the men of Lincoln re posed in him, and who is in fact the cu.': •-enresentative of the voice of the freemen, a candidate who shall li-3ge himself (provided a dissolution of Parliament takes place) to ,onport another Bill of Reform, on precisely the same principles arm the same extent as the one introduced by Lord John Russell ; and in the event of a Tory Administration not satisfying the wishes of the people, by bringing in a Bill of Itefo: m based on the same principles, to withhold the supplies ! We understand it is also contemplated to form a Political Union, to act in con cert with that of Birmingham and other places. It is very obvious that it would be the height of folly for Colonel Sibthorpe to offer himself again as a candidate, and more particularly so as he has so repeatedly misrepresented the opinions of the people of Lincoln on Reform. But there is no knowing what some men will do. At all events, should he have the temerity to deliberately insult the freemen by asking for their sufftages, he will meet with a reception which pro. brbly he may not now anticipate. SALISBURY, MAY 15. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—Knowing and valuing highly your exertions in the cause of Reform, I take the liberty to transmit you the par ticulars of a meeting held here yesterday, which was called by the Mayor of the City, and who signed the resolutions and petition on behalf of the meeting, and request you will use them as you please; only, if it does not infringe too much on your valuable columns, the persons who promoted the meeting would be much pleased to see them there. I am, Sir, your obliged humble servant, J. S. Resolved—That in the present awful and unprecedented state of the country, when the whole community has been disappointed, deceived, betrayed, it is imperatively the bounden duty of every man to assure that House of Commons, which has twice man fully contended for an unshackled representation of the people, of its cordial and unwavering support. That a petition be presented to the honourable the House of Commons, thanking them in the wannest terms for their un- , wearied and indefatigable exertions to procure for the people ot the United Kingdom the restoratiou of their ancient, just, and inalienable, rights. That this meeting, feeling in common with a large majority of the people of the united kingdom that Lord Grey and his col leagues, his Majesty's late advisers, deserve the gratitude of this generation and of posterity, request they will be pleased to accept their assurance of support throughout the progress of this eventful struggle, and their warmest and most grateful thanks for originating and endeavouring to carry into a law the great measure of Parliamentry Reform. TO THE HONOU LIABLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, &c. &c. SHEWITH, That your petitioners have viewed with admiration and grati tude your indefatigable exertions to procure for them the resto ration of their ancient, just, and inalienable rights. That in proportion as their hopes Were raised by the success of those exertions in yours Honourable House, their aqonishinent and indignation are great beyond the power of expression, when they view the subtle and intriguing spirit of a majority of the Peers of the realm, to paralyse and defeat your noble and patrio tic exertions. That they entreat you not to suffer the domineering influence of an oligarchy, which strives alike to fetter the Monarch and the people, to interfere with your determination to procure a full, fair, and tree, representation of the people. That they assure your Honourable House ? that so far from a reaction having taken place, the determination of the people to have and to enjoy their rights, has acquired, during the last eighteen months, a fixedness of purpose which no opposition can remove. That they greatly dread, unless those long cherished hopes are gratified, and their just expectations (raisedby their Monarch him. self in his speech from the Throne) fulfilled, that acts of violence, the result of severe disappointment, may eventually take place. That, finally, they exhort you (in order to prevent scenes that cannot be contemplated without horror) to be firm and steadfast in your purpose, to pursue the means which thorugh the power you have of withholding the supplies you possess to compel an ac. quiesenceby the second estate of the kingdom to the expressed wishes of the first and third. And your petitioners, &c. &c. The above wire transmitted separately to Lord Grey. The petition to the Hon. Captain Bouverie. An address to the King of a similar import rent to Lord Radror. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. am happy to perceive from their advertisement of this evening that the Reform Fund Committee are ready to re sume their functions " in the event of a dissolution" of Parlia ment. The event of such an appeal to the public, the faction will I think not venture to encounter. But there is yet a field open for the exertions of the Committee. Should the Duke of Wellington persist in his attempt to form an administration, from twenty to thirty seats must be vacated, two or three of these may be English, Welsh, or Irish, counties. Several must be boroughs, which I have reason to know, may be successfully contested against their present Representatives, should they present themselves as the degraded hirelings of an unprincipled administration.—l remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, May 14. A REFORMER. Towards one, and that the most virulent of his opponents, Lord Grey has, we think, shown almost too much forbearance, knowing, as the world does, that that per son's opposition to Lord Grey's Government grew solely out of the fact of his being overlooked in the formation of the Mi nistry, and his consequent disappointment at the loss of place. —Morning Herald. It having been stated in the Morning Herald of this day, that Mr. Roe, one of the Marlborough - street Magistrates, has been appointed to succeed the late Sir RICHARD BIRNIE Si Chief Magistrate, we are authorised to say that there is no truth in this statement, no appointment to the vacant office having yet been made. On Monday last the landlord of the William the Fourth, a beer-shop, nearly opposite the Magdalen, Black. friars.road, following the example set by a party at the welt end of the town, had his signboard taken down from the front of his house, and placed heels upwards. OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We refer our readers to our report of the pro aeedinge of both Houses last night, for all that is oithentically known regarding the negotiat ons for the return of Earl Grey's Ministry to office. In the House of Lords, Earl Grey said—" Thar as he understood that there was 110 important business be fore the House, he would move that their Lord ships adjourn until Thursday next. He did so, because he had received a communication from hia. lltajcsty." It was obvious from this statement, that nothing Oecisive could then ha ennoutteed; however, Lord Kenyon, ‘sishing to make asst.tarme doubly sure, asked, " Were the House and the couotry to understand from this statement that the result cif the communication was the re-instaterneot of the Noble Earl and his colleagues hi the places they had lately held ?" Earl Grey answered, el et "he was sure the House would see that it :would net be discreet in him to explain farther.—( Cheers.) Ile had stated all he had a right to state, under the circum static. s—namely, that he had received a ...orr muni evion from his Majesty—(Hear, hear)—of cour-e the House most know this communicatioti could only refer to the present state of the coantry, conse quent on the resignation oft he late Ministry.—( lie +r.) The communication, however, had beet, so recently made, that it was impoesible for him to explain him self farther ; and the more so, as nothing decisive had been the result.—(Hear, beer.) It ass riot in his power, therefore, to state whet the Noble Baron was so anxious to extort ft out hirn—(Hesr) namely. that it was decided the Members of the present Ad ministration should retain their places.—(He r.) He did not feel himself authorised to state anything farther.—(Hear, hear.)" Tnis is all that pa=ced on the sus jeet in the House of Lords. In the Com mons, Mr. Hume first elludad to the repert which was abroad that Earl Grey had see!' his Majesty, and suggested the propriety of doing terithh_g to increase the egitetion till the issue wets known. Mr. Baring, who has been so much mixed op with the attempt to form a new Mitiiatra, soon after stated " that the communication: seith the D. ke of Wellington for the formation of a new Administra tion was entirely at an end. After having made that statement, he had no other ohservasions to offer, but to express his ardent and sinvere hope that the state of things to the administration of which the Gt:vernment were aboto to return would terminate in come turangement '°r the benefit and for the peace of the country." Ho added, that "he wished to take that oppoitunity of correcting a mis apprehension which an Honourable Gentleman had fallen into when he said that it was ortelerstood the Duke of Wellington had sece-pted Alta.. He had not done so. Matters had nor come to that point at al. He had only entered into corrimnoication with his Majesty as to certain in -asures that might be neces sary under the peculiar circumstances of the mo ment." Lord Aithorp rose immediately after Mr. Baring, and stated that the Honourable Gentleman had anticipated bins in the information which he had given to the House, and he merely recommended the abstaining from discussions calculated to prevent the allaying of existing- exeitemeet, and moved an adjournment of the House to Theirsthry. Such, then, is the present state of aff tirs with regard to the Ministry. The rumour of a communiention to Earl Grey first found its way into circulation yester day forenoon, and diffused general joy over the Me tropolis. The people, however, wril see the risers. shy of not yet resigning themselves to a blind con fidence; let us nor halloo, till we ere fairly out of the wood. Not that we cancels eit possible for tl.e Duke of Welingt on to ride rough-shod over he House of Corn. mons and the people of England ; or even, by steer:- ficing ail regard to appearances, to drag such a num ber of Anti-Reform Peels, fellow Protesters, through the dirt with him, as to he able to maintain himself in office. Indeed, the proceedings in the House of Commons on Monday night' must have struck his Grace with dismay. They must also have, in same degree, prepared the people for the intelligence communicated Co both Houses last 'tight. Few persons will envy the Duke of Weiiitiaton the feel ings with which he must have perto.ed the accounts of the light in which his conduct was viewed, by men of all parties, in Parliament. It was, indeed, a great moral lesson. It has sorestimes been said that hypocrisy is better than open vice, inasmuch as it indicates at least a knowledge of the difference be tween virtue and vice. lITa Grace seems riot only to attach no value to principle himself, but to be ut terly unaware that a detelictiun of principle would not be viewed by the rest of the world with the same indifference as by himself. It is said by Bos well, by way of apology for Samuel Johnson, that though he sometimes yielded to temptation, he had always a high respect fur firm principles. It is only astonishing to us that the Duke can have lived so long in the world without discovering that mankind, whatever allowance each may make for his own faults, agree to hold honour and principle in regard ; for we are sure if he had been aware of this, he would, at least, have paid more regard to appear ances. Physical force, however, would seem to be the only force with which this old soldier is acquaint ed; and the strength derived from adherence to pledges, conscientiousness in advancing opinions, and consistency in maintaining them, is altogei hers secret to him. In M. Dumont ' s instructive " Recollec tions of Mirabeau," he makes Mirabeau observe to a bookseller's wife of the name of Jev, who was not only without principle but did not see the neces sity of appearing to regard it—" Madame le Jay, if there were no such thing as probity, it ought to be invented as a means of insuring pros perity." We are further told that though the con duct of Mirabeau was often far from what it ought to have been, " be had a quick eye to discern the good, the moral, and the pure, and no one had a higher esteem for energetic and virtuous characters. There war: in him a sort of enthusiastn for what was becoming, which was not degraded by his own vices." Mirabeau had sufficient discernment to know that however corrupt individuals may be, all men never can be so thoroughly corrupted as to view virtue and vice, honour and dishonour, with equal indiffsrence. Some men who arc corrupt, avoid this mistake, by calling to recollection their feelings while they were yet uncorrupted. But then a man must at least have once known the difference between right arid wrong. We can easily conceive that a son of Bill Saamea who had never left the paternal dwelling, might have grown old without the advantage of de riving any benefit from recollection. What fell from Sir Robert Peel on Monday night must have startled his Grace. Sir Robert Peel, in the true style of Airs. Candour, in answer to an observation of Lord Joists Russell, observed, " If the Noble Lord's inference is correct—that I feel unable to enter into the service of the will at all events add this to it, the! I baterly regret that in the situation in which his Meje ay is now pieced I am not able to accept office ; itn , l that the greatest regret that attends my ref sal of office is the possi bility of its affording an opportunity for sarcasm being pointed by contrast against those who feel themselves able to join the rk:ltt Administration.— (Cheers fioni the Ministerial side) I grieve tii4 my inabil,ty to be dishonest shou:tl redound so much as it is likely to do to your disadvantage." Compassionate soul 1 How the Duke must have writned under this, the unkindest cut of all. No, whatever comes of the attempt to return Earl G,ey to office, the people of England will not, at all events, be insulted with such open attempts to set all principle at de fiance as they have witnessed. W e must , if we cannot be virtuous, try once more the cloak of hy .puoicJeiscyt. w L it e h t h hi is s f G ri r e a n e d e h th a e ve L a o t r •ci d ns c ul h ta ie t f ino ß n i o r7n tts rning Chronicle. them may be to see them gasp.Th e \ T v e e ry ho f p a e ct o io u n r o c n e ly rtainly appears at its last write their epitaph.
