LIVERPOOL MEETING. (Concluded. from our first page.) hortmehs. I have, from local and other circumstances, been led, since capable of refiection, to pay some attention to politics, and to the public character of those who have been constantly presenting themselves on the sense, and know of none who stand higher in character than Lord Grey, always the advocate of the liberties and the rights of the people, and, at the same time, careful to preserve the met prerogative of the crown and the aristocracy, neither of which can be held for other purposes than the public benefit. Than Lord Althorp, Lord Goderich, and the rest of his colleagues, honest or better men, I believe, do not exist, and they want but a Reformed Parliament to be able to arrange around them men of business and of practical knowledge, from all parts of the united kingdom, to conduct the affairs of the public, with credit to them. serve and benefit the public. Contrast with the Duke of Wellington the glaring inconsistencies of his conduct. Can he be interested with the conduct of the Reform Bill who, avowedly and directly, has always been opposed to all Reform ? How lone is it ago since he nearly turned out of office the honourable, the invaluahlt representative iif this borough, his only crime that of giving an honest end consistent vote for the disfranchisement of East Ret ford, and transferring the franchise to Birmingham? HoW long is it ago since his memorable declaration that the present corrupt state of representatiou was the best that could possibly be devised ? He, no doubt, meant, for the vile and detestable oligarchy, who have so long fattened on the public. How long is it ago since the came faction vaoually and successfully opposed Catholic Emancipation o hen attempted by the lamented Mr. Canning, but no sooner in poker, than it was found expedient to carry the measure? Can we then, I eay, desert our friends, or in trust this same Duke cf Wellington and his party with the conduct of this Reform Bill, to whom all have shown themselves so decidedly hostile, but will now, no doubt, in order to weaken opposition and divide the people, pro fees themselves ready to grant an efficient Reform. I have only to say, beware of stratagem ; for it is evident, that the present act, reconsider this as justifiable in politics ih w ar . If it were not so, why have they not already *geed the Bill? Take care we are not plunged into foreign war, or get rid of the question, as tees the case in 1703. WiLLIa3tS, in moving the next resolution, said it was difficult, frOetiothe rapidity with which one event follow e d another, to know what to say, or even what to think. However, they hail enough to know that a most determined conflict impended, on one side of which were 20,000 000 of people, and on the ether 130 men, a little lower than the aug. Is to be sure —(Great laughter and ebeers)—but still having so much of the, frailty of man hoed about them as to deserve the reprobation of their fehow-creatures.—( Cheers.) They could not doubt, however, from the state of the odds, which way the struggle would terminate.—(Loud cheers.) The gallant Colonel then proceeded to enumerate a black list of Peers and pensioners, which, he said, he had met with lately, end gave an account of their salaries and their merits. There was among the number that old baggage the Duchess of Newcastle, who had,—(The Chairman here rove abruptly, and called out to the meeting, that he gave tie all his relations for them to say what the liked about teem. )—(Cheery.) Colonel Williams continued, and said as their Noble Chairman had confessed that the Duchess D!' Newcastle was his aunt, he should no longer call her an o!d baggage:—(Cheers.) Whatever the sins of the family , might be, he maintained, that their Noble Chairman and his family had redeemed them all.—(Loud applause.) But the Duchess of Newcastle was at that moment—there was a sepia abroad that she had - given it up, but he believed that to he a fallacy—in the receipt of 700/. a year, which they contril eted to pay.—(Cheers.) The resolution he bat to propose embodied the most effectual way. They must recommend to the House of Commons to stop the supplies ; and he had no doubt that, when once their sup port was removed from beneath them, they would fall from their place like the sword of Ferdinand fell from his hand at the incantation of Prospero.—(Cheers.) He concluded by moving the resolution. Mr. AUXIN seconded the motion. He said they were se ng to take the best possible steps to accomplish their o and one which was perfectly constitutional. If, however, that should not be sufficient, the Constitution tiff.rded them another, which was to refuse their own taxes.—(Cheers, and cries of We will !) He attri hated the present position of the people of England to the unjust opposition they bad met with, and illustrated his opinion by the examples of the ancient Barons, and King John, the Parliament of Charles the First, the eats blistament of the Church of Scotland, the fate of Strafford ie our own history, and of Polignac in that of France, and, finally, declared that the refusal to transfer the fran chise of East Retford and similar places to Birmingham and other large towns, and other resistance to their legiti mate desire for the correction of abuses, had driven the people of England to take up a more determined position and bring them nearer to the achievement of a better sys tem than if they had at first been listened to with proper attention.—(Cheers.) If the recurrences he had men tioned had been lost upon their rulers, and their eyes had been blinded even to their own experience, it was time they were met by more rigorous measures.—(Cheers.) Col. WILLIAMs informed the meeting that it was of the utmost importance that the petition should be sent off to night, and he presented in London to-morrow, as there was a rumour abroad that the House of Commons was to be dissolved and then prorogued. He then proposed that the Chairman should sign the petition and the address on the part of the Meeting. Mr. FITZSIMONS, a schoolmaster, who stood in the crowd, objected that in this case the petition could merely be considered as that of the person who signed it. Colonel iNeeoloms said that he knew that there was no time to be lost, and Lord Molyneux could state this, - although it was signed by himself alone, it had obtained e concurrence of nearly 20.000 people. That was en sough to choke Lords Lyndhurst and Wellington. Mr. T. THonottv, candidate for Liverpool at the at the last election, moved the address to his Majesty. They could recollect that at the meeting of Reformers, held at the Music Hall, in the Spring of of la.t year. He suggested, !Poking forward to the hope thae the Reform Bill would soon be the law of the land, that they should erect a statue in honour of King William. We shall postpone that for the present— (Grits of •‘ yes, yes," and t• long live liberty")-- and instead of which, transmit to his Majesty an address to express our grief at the situation isn which the country is placed by the resignation of Esrl Grey and his colleagues, and that no Reform Bill les. effichnt than the present will satisfy the country, and let vs petition Parliament to grant no supplies till this Bill passed. It was astonishing to him what absurd reasons bad been urged in the House of Lords against the Reform Bill. They spike of not extending the franchise to 101. voters in large towns, but if they had any thing to boast of it was large constituency. Liverpool, which was not very long ago a mere fishiug village, was now the second town in the country, and if they had a large constituency it was their pride and their boast—if they had 10 to 20,000 voters, so much the better. They talked of allowing en franchisement, but not disfranchisement. What ! was atiancheeter to send two representatives, and was the little borough of Newton to destroy the votes of Manchester by sending two also—the thing was absurd. The present was the greatest meeting ever held in Liverpool ; it did them great honour, and it would have a great effect in carrying forward the Reform Bill—they might have to meet again, to meet frequently, but they must make up their minds to do so as often as they might be required. He trusted that the success of the Reform Bill was certain ; but the House of Lords was losing ground in the estima tion of the people very much.—(Cheers.) He could not help referring to the sentiments which the opposition to the Bill in the Lords had had the effect of calling forth. Nothing at all used to be said about the Bishops ; but now people began to think that they might be better employed in their dioceses in aiding the cause of religion, titan in the Howie of Lords opdosing the canoe of freedom.— (Cheers, and cries of " Hang'em.") With respect to the Hereditary Peerage, he never used to bear anythitrg against it ; but now the people began to talk about having Peers for life.—(Cheers.) Mr. Thornely concluded by proposing the adarese to his Majesty, which would be presented at tae Levee nn Thursday. The address was reed hy•Mr. Thornely. which was a mere echo of the resolutions. Jic, T. RoscoE (eon of the late William liteecoe, in seeonding the resolution, said that in considering the con duct of the majority of the Howie of Peers against the Reform Bill, he felt more than indignation--he was in spired with abhorrence and disgust—(loud cheers.) First and foremast came Lord Lyndhurst—a man who had all the craft and chicanery of his proleesion, but none of its liberality. It was not in their power to serve him as they had served the " ould General"—(cheers and laughter) by turning him out of Parliament ; but they could teach the Duke ,if Newcastle, the Duke of Exeter, and other Boroughmongers who had declared that they had a right to what they would with their own. That the people would also come to a determination to do what they would with their own,—(Loud cheers.) He ad vised them to do what they liked with their own, by re fusing to pay the Government taxes until they knew that the money would be placed in good hands.—(imrsense cheering.) He feared that she: accession of the Doke o f Wellington and his party to place and power, would no t only be prejudicial to interest, of the people of Ere land, but also to those of the world at large ; for from it he could calculate on nothing but wars and tumults. They had, when out of office, avowed their jealousy ad France,—their sympathy with those wretches, the tyrants of Bortugal and Spain. and if they acted on those prin• ciples, the resole would probably be a general war. He therefore fervently hoped that the rumour of their acces sion to office, and that Earl Grey and his colleagues would he restored to that station in which the had done so much good to the country and to the world at large.— (Tremendous cheering.) The Address to his Majesty, inforwing him of the steps taken by the meeting, was then read, and agreed to una nimously. Mr. JonN TAYLOR, seconded by Dr. CROMPTON, then proposed an additional resolution, calling upon the King to create a sufficient number of Peers to insure the passing of the Reform Bill ; but this was opposed by Lieutenant Morrison, Mr. W. Rathbone, and other gentlemen. on the ground that as the Duke of Wellington either had or was about to conic into office, if any creation of Peers took place, the batch would certainly consist of anti-reformers and enemies of the people ; and after some discussion, it appeared that the sense of the meeting was decidedly against calling for any creation of Peers under present circumstances. and the resolution was withdrawn. Mr. W. R.ATLIBOWE, in proposing the next resolution, said that he was only so far a leveller as to wish to take the rights of the people out a the hands of iniquity, whether it were clothed in lawn sleeves or ermine, and to bring down the Lyndhursts and the Philpotte, who wished to till their pots out of the pockets of the people. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Geo. ROBINNON, and carried unanimously. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Egerten Smith, Mr. Francis Jordon, Dr. Blackburn, Lieutenant Morrison, Dr. Collins, Mr. Falvey, and Mr. Othwell Wood (father of the Member for Preston). The thanks of the meeting were voted by ac clamation to the Noble Chairman, and several rounds of deafening cheers were given for Lord Grey, Lord Brougham, Lord Althorp, and other Members of the late Ministry. The meeting separated at a late hour, and very peaceably. The billowing is a copy of the resolutions and petition, unanimously adopted :- 1. That this meeting has learned, with indignation and alarm. the present position of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords ; a Bill which this meeting considers, in all its main provisions o clisttanchisemen„ enfranchisement, and qnalificatiou, to be ab solutely essential to tha good government of the country, and not less so to the prerogatives of the Crown, the best interests of the Aristocracy, and the rights of the people. On the motion of seconded by V.. That the wannest thanks of this meeting, and the grateful acknowledgements of the British nation. are due to Earl Grey and to his late colleagues in office, as well as to those Members of both Houses of Parliament, who, by their zeal in the cause of Reform, have twice carried the Reform Bill through the House of Cormi.ons, and to a second reading in the House of Lords; and that this meeting most deeply laments that such obstacles should have arisen to the completion of the Reform Bill, as to compel the resignation of his Majesty's Ministers. On the motion of seconded by l That, in the present alarming erit s, this meeting heels itself called upon to petition the lloive of Commons, and to represent to that House its totol want ofeonfidence in the Government of of the country, until a Reform in the representation of the people shall be accomplished, at least as efficient as that provided for by the Bill now before Parliament, and also to pray that Honour able House to withhold any further supplies until such Reform shall become the law of the land, and that the petition now read he adopted by this meetiong. On the motion of seconded by . . . . 4. That an humble Address lse presented to his Majesty, stat ing to his Majesty, that it is the opinion of the inhabitants of Liverpool, in public meceting assembled, that no bill for the amendment of the representation of the people will satisfy the British nation which shall fall short, in in any of essential pro. visions, of the Bill lately introduced to Parliament, and that whilst this Meeting feats entire confidence in Earl Grey and his late colleagues, it feels the utmost distrust of those counsellors who have heretofore ranked as the enemies of Reform, and the notorious opponents of liberal and pacific policy, foreign and do mestic. And, further, to state to his .fajcsty, that such is its sense of the alarming crisis in which the country is placed, that it ha.; petitioned petitioned the House of Commons to withhold all supplies until an efficient Reform is granted, and an Admi nistration appointed, which shall deserve the confidence of the people, and that the Address now lead be adopted by this Meet. ing, and he signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting. On the motion of seconded by 5. That after the events which have recently occurred in the House of Lords, this Meeting considers it entirely useless to ad. dress that Assembly. ti. That the Address to his Majesty be transmitted to the Right Honorable the F.arls of Derby and Sefton. with a regnest that they will take the earliest opportunity of laying the same before his Majesty, and that the Petition to his llouse of Com mons be transmitted to the Members for the Borough for ins. mediate presentation. TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDFM OF GK EAT BRITAIN 'AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS VICINITY, IN PUBLIC MEETING ASSEMBLED, SHEWETI4, That your Petitioners have hcatd, with Indescribable alarm and indignation, of the temporary defeat of the Reform Bill, and the consequent resignation of Earl Grey and his colleague,. Thai. in the midst of the consternation produced by these events, they have, however, derived confidence and consolation from the patriotic and constitutional course of proceding so promptly adopted by your Honourable House. Your Petitioners, therefore, most earnestly pray your Ho.. nourable House to persevere in withholding your confidence from any Admininistration which will not pledge itself to sup port a measure of Reform quite as efficient as that which has alreay twice received the sanction of your Honourable Rouse. .Ind they further call upon your Honourable House to refuse ' vIl supplies until this pledge has not only been given but effec— tually redeemed. And your Petitioners shall crery pray. THE LONDON GAZETTE THIS EVENING. WHITEHALL, MAY 13, 1&32.

IMPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. Several private 13ills were brought from the Commons. Lord DUNDAS presented petitions from Stirling, and other places in Scotland in favour of Reform. The Marquess of CLANRICARDE presented several petitions from Galway, Belvidere, and four other pariskes in Ireland in favour, of the New System of Education in Ireland. A NOBLE Loan, whose name was net known, pre sented a petition against the New System of Education iu Ireland. Lord KING had several petitions to present in favour of the same system. He thought the House would now hear very little of such petitions as bad been last presented ; they had been poured into the House, on political princi ple., preparatory to a plot which had now happily been defeated. _ The Earl of RODEN must deny the proposition made by the Noble Lord. He believed that out of 150 petitions be had had the honour to present upon the subject of Irish Education, not one had arisen out of political mo tives. The petitioners felt that it was a system which ought not to be supported by any Protestant Go vernment, and upon that ground, and not upon that which the Noble Lord had imputed to them, had they petitioned that House. They believed, and strongly felt that the system would not stand, because it was opposed to the word of God. So far from that House not hearing any more upon the subject, he was of opinion that the petitions would be increased tenfold, as the people would now be certain that the same system would be pursued. Lord KING said the number of petitions which had been presented, were not to he attributed to the feelings , :f the people so much as to the trouble which had been taken to inflame their minds. The Earl of WINCHELSEA perfectly agreed with his Noble Friend near him (Radnor), that the petitions against this system wonkl now be mach increased, and that the Petitioners were pot actuated by any but the west of motives. Whoever the Noble Lord might de. .ignate al Saints, God knew that the Noble Lord would never fall under that imputation. He bad never heard Poe sentiment from the Noble Lerd on the subject of re. ligion, but what was eminently calculated to bring it into contempt.—(Cries of " Order.") The feeling upon the subject of education would he much more than that which had been raised upon the subject of Catholic eman cipetion. There was no Noble Lord who eat in that House but had taken his oath to support the Protestant education of the people. NG ild th the recollection Lcrd KI not', ...row himself upon of the House, whether, in any thing he had ever said within its walls, he had said one word calculated to bring religion into contempt. He had done what was in his power to rectify the abuses in its gov er n me nt. Earl GREY here entered the House, and the noise con sequent thereon drowned idle last sentences of the Noble Lord. EARL GREY RESTORED. Earl GREY—I beg to move, that this House, at its rising, do adjourn to Thursday next. I make this motion, in consequence of having received a communication from his Majesty, which makes me to think it will be conve nient that we should adjourn till Thursday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the question. that this House do now adjourn. Lord KENYON—Are we, the House and the country, to underatand, from the statement of the Noble Earl, that the Noble Earl and his colleae tree are to continue (Ministers? Earl GREY—I trust this the Noble Baron and the House will see the propriety of my not entering into fur ther explanation. I have stated that I have had a com munication with his Majesty. Of course the House will understand that in the present state of public affAira, that communication is consequent upon my resiviation. It is impossible for me to enter into any explanation, inasmuch as nothing has resulted from that communication. It is not, therefore in my power to state what the Noble Earl seems so anxious to hear, viz., that it is decided that his Majesty's .Ministe:i'are to continue in office. • I have only to state that under the peculiar circumstances of the ease, it does appear to we convenient that this House should adjourn. Lord KENYON—After the explanation of the Noble Earl I think, and I am sure the House must think, that it would be most unreasonable in me to attempt to draw anything further from him. Eal GREY—I beg the Noble Lord will not misunder. stand me. I only stated that I hail had a communication, but as yet it has had no consequence. _ . The LORD CHANCELLOR—The Noh!e Lord must admit that it was going rather far to ask, in a manner, one of the King's Ministers what was the nature of a communication—a confidential communication—from his Majesty, to one of his servants, for my Noble Friend, although he has tendered his resignation, and though that resignation has been g raciously received by his Majesty, is still, in point of fact, in the service of his Majesty. But I rise chiefly to prevent the possibility of any misunderstanding occurring in conse 'l",oce of what has dropped from the Nobie Baron, who seemed to think that the second statement of soy Noble Friend gave information which his first did not. Now I attended most carefully to my Noble Friend's statement, and this I will say, that if I hrd had nothing more than the Noble Baron and the House at large had gathered from my Noble Friend's first state ment, I should not have been made to know more by his second statement. From what my Noble Friend said the first time was not made a whit more specific by what he said the second time. All that my Noble Friend said was, that he had received a communication from his Majesty (of course every one must know under present cir cumstances to what that communication has reference), hut that it had had no consequence and might have no con sequence. Lard SALISBURY—The Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack is in error, if he supposes that we gained no information from the Noble Earl's second statement, for we learnt from it that the communication he had received from his Majesty has been followed by no consequence.— (A laugh.) The House during the whole of the above conversation was perfectly silent, with the exception of the instant when Lord Grey first announced the fact of receiving a commu. nication from his Majesty, when there was som e slight cheering; but their Lordships were evidently prepared for the announcement. The Duke of WELL iNaTom was not present Adjourned at a Quarter to Six. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The gallery was not opened until twenty minutes pas four o'clock, in con.equenc,e of Mr. Home's motion for a call of the House, in order that he might bring forward a motion relative to the state of the country standing for this evening ; but at the time it was understood that the call was postponed until to-morrow. It was confi,tently be lieved that the postponement was in conseqnence of the negotiations now pending for the return of Earl Grey and his colleagues to office. • OUTRAGE ON THE BISHOP OF LITCHFIELD• THE MINISTRY., Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN rose to present a petition from the parish of St. Bride, in favour of the Reform Bill, and praying the House not to grant any supplies until that Bill passed into a law. The Hon. Member in allusion to the outaage on the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, at St. Bride's Church, last Sunday, stated th it he was sorry to say a great deal of disorder and confusion took plrce upon that occasion —(Hear, hear)—and also that some pains had been taken to misrepresent the circumstances in order to implicate the friends of Re form. He had made every inquiry of the churchwardens and other respectable inhabitants, and he found that a number of individuals assemb:ed, and created some disor der, but none of the parishioners took any share in it whatever.—(Hear.) The parishioners, on the contrary, conducted themselves in the best possible manner. Three persons had been taken into custody, one of whom—the ringhader—turned out not only not to be an inhabitant of the parish, but not even of the city of London.—( Hear.) Having stoted thus much, he hegged to say, this petition had been got up in a hurry, but at a very large meeting, and was signed only by the churchwarden. He knew al most all the residents of the parish, a great many of whom had formerly been against Refoym ; but if he were called upon now to give his opinion, he knew of no one respec t ible person in the parish, who was not a strenuous sup porter of the Reform Bill.—(Hear.) His colleagues had many petitions from other parts of the city, and he believed there was not a ward or parish in the city of Lon don in which the same sentiments did not prevail. It was their conviction that it was impossible to carry a Bill of Reform which would he satisfactory to the public if a change in the Administration took place.--( Hear.) He would forbear from stating any thing of an irritating nature, but he trusted before the house parted this evening they would have an assurance that every thing would be conducted in a manner satisfactory to the country.— ( Hear.) While on his legs he begged to state to the House that he had another petition to present of greater importance than the other one, and was from the greatest commercial body in the kingdom, except that of Landon, he meant the town of Liverpool, and it ban been put into his hands by the Hon. Member (Mr. Ewart) for Liver poor, whe was afroid he might not have an opportunity of presenting it to night, and it was of the utmost import ance that its presentation should not be delayed. It was agreed to at one of the largest Meetings ever held in that town, and it breathed a most determined spirit in favour of the Bill. He then moved that the petition from St. Bride's should be brought up and read. Mr. LITTLETON telt great satisfaction at the vindi cation by the worthy Alderman, of hie constituent., in St. Bride's parish. The proceeding alluded to was one of a most disgraceful nature, lie (Mr. L.) had had the good fortune to reside within the diocese of the Bishop of Litchfield and Coventry, and all persons agreed in repre senting that Prelate to be a person of a most pious, bede volent, and exempla„ character, andindeed a m o d e l o f unaffected piety. There was not an individu a l in the House of Lords of his order who was less disposed to lend himself to political intrigue, or who valued his seat in that House less than he did fur the political power it conferred on him.—(Hears Mr. HUME was anxious to say that whil e h e diff ere d with the Bishops, and their interference in t empora l mat ters, he considered the proceeding referred to as improper. If persons who committed that outrage were reformers, they disgraced themselves, and sure he was, that if they wished to see the institutisns of the country reno vate d , st ill i t should be done in a constitutional manner, and not by 'violence or force.—(Hear.) He hoped there would be no more examples of this kind; hut although he was aware that many did not think as he did, yet he thought that great allowance ought to be made for popular feeling. There was, however, in his opinion, so much of intelli genee abroad, and so much of influence, that such pro ceedings would be altogether prevented. Su E. SUGDEN was not surprised at what had oc curred from the violent speeches made at public meetings. (Hear.) It was true that the people were told not to re sort to violence., but it was in such language that they were in fact shown how to act violently.—(Hear.) Mr. D. W. HARVEY said it was very well for lion. Members to talk about preventing any ebullition of popular feeling, but it should be recollected that the thing which should have been considered was to have abstained from such acts as tended to irritate the people.—(Cheers.) It was because there was so much just ground for the indignation that they were occasionally led to trespass over the threshbold of propriety—(Hear)—and while he roue demned such proceedings as had taken place at St. Bride'r Church, still it ought to be considered as some indication of popalar feeling. If the proposition to increase the Members of the House of Lords was _a proposition to be dreaded, it would be as well to decrease the number. by the number of the Bishops, as a means of inducing them to confine themselves to their holy calling.—(Hear.) Mr. BANKES said the Honourable Member who had just sat down had grounded the effusion which he had presented to tie House on a mis-statement of the fact. He assumed that the congregation had risen against their pastor, whereas from the statement of the Worthy Alder man not one of the parishioners took part in the proceed. ings. That Worthy Alderman bad taken the pains, mubh to his credit, of investigating the circumstances of the case, and he stated as the result of his enquities that the par ties who had been apprehended were entire strangers to that part of the City. Therefore there was no ground work for the effusion which the Hon. Member (Mr. Harvey) had so unnecessarily obtruded on the House. There could be hut one feeling—unless that H .n. Member was an excep tion as to the scandalous conduct of the persons who, he trusted, were sot prishioners or Englishmen (though sure he was they were not Christian men) who took a part in that disgraceful proceeding.—(Hear:) As to whether the Peers ought or ought not to be diminished in number, he would not follow the Hen. Member ; but he believed he would find very few to concur in the opinions which that Honourable Member had broached. —(Hear.) But if lie wished to justify the act and to say that a Reverend Prelate, distinguished for his moral and religious virtues, for giving a conscientious vote, ought to bd sithjected to outrage, he would .emain single in his opinion. He would take this opportunity of advert ing to what had in the early prrt of the evening been stated by the lion. Member for Middlesex (Mr. Hume) relative to the motion for a call of the House. That Hoti. 'Mem ber had said that he should postpone his motion for a call of the House until tomorrow, when he should enforce it, unle•s, in the interval, it was intimated that his Majesty had recalled Lord Grey and his Colleagues to his Councils. Whatever mig it be the ',course in proceeding to that, it would have been fit that the Hon. Memher fur Middle sex should have abstained from any such remarks as tho a he had made, whatever might have been his private feel. ing : it would have been better for his Sovereign for whom he had no doubt the Hon. 'Member had as peat an affection as he had, and it would have been better for the fam. ly. Mr. GILLON thought that those who had adopted pro• ceedings like those referred to in the Petition were un worthy the name of Reformers, as he felt convinced no persnn having the interest of Reform at heart would have so acted. Mr. Alderman HUGHES wished to make a few oh servations. It would be in the recollection of the House that a similar petition to the one now under discussion had been presented from the Common Council of the City of London. The public were not admitted during the debate on that petition, hut some person had furnished the press with a report of the speech which he was said to have made on that occasion; that speech stated him to have re presented that all the Aldermen present, six in number, had stated that they should vote against the petition; now he was in the judgment of the House whether that statement was col rest, what he had stated was, that to that part of the petition which went to the refusal of the Supplies, all the Alderm-n present, of whom he was one, did object. He had stated that it was absurd and unjust to withhold sup plies from an Administration, the members of which were not known to the House, nor their measures. It ap psared to him by such a step, according to the reports that were now current and he hoped, to hear those reports authenticated that night—they should be refusing supplies to the same Administration to whom the country was so much indebted for bringing forward the Reform (Cheel a. ) Colonel DAVIES said, if an Administration was formed under the auspices of tEe Duke of Wellinglon, he should ne one of the first for withholding the supplies, till a full and efficient Reform had been carried. He trusted the report was true that the Duke of Wellington had given up all thought of formidg a❑ Administration, and lhat his Majesty had determined to receive again into his Councils those Ministers who dad done so much for their country, as he should he very sorry to see the Reform Bill taken out of their hands. After some observation.; from Mr. RUNT and Mr. Alderman WAIT/MAN, the petition was ordered to be printed. The Hon. Member then pret.entell a similar pe tition from Liverpool. Mr. EWART felt thankful to his Hon. Friend for presenting the petion for him which he had done. It was agreed to at one of the largest meetings that had ever taken place at Liverpool, in which the spirit of Reform had been cowinually increasing. Mr. HUME trusted the House would excuse him for making a few observations. Conciliation he was in !lows was now about to take place, and be trusted, therefore, that Hon. Members would refrain, till flutber information was before the House, from discussing the all important topics which had occupied their attention so much that evening. He had, he said, no less than fourteeen petitions of a nature similar to the two presented ; but be should withhold the presentation till the reports which were in circulation were either confirmed or denied. Report said that Lord Grey had seen his Majesty.—(Loud Cheers.) If that wepe true he hoped mutual conciliation would take place, and be therefore trusted, Gentlemen who had pe• titions to present, of the number he had adverted to, would hill over until something more definite were known. Sir E. SUGDEN did not know whether the Hon. Member for Middlesex was or aot the organ of the Govern ment which was not now in its place, but it was his wish now that no ♦iolent petitions should be presented, because, forsooth, it might hurt his Majesty's Ministers.—(Cheers from the Opposition. )—..but when it was a question whe ther it was the intention of his Majesty to change the Go vernment, no Member of that House was more forward in advocating the presentation of such petitions than the Him. Member himself. He (Sir E. Sugdrn) found no fault with Hon. Members for expressing their feelings strongly in behalf of Reform, but he could not hut complain of Hon. Members not adopting the same course, when his Majesty had a Whig as when he proposed to have a Tory Administration. Mr. HUME rose amidst loud cries of question. He should have been exceeoingly sorry to have introduced anything which hid made an improper use of his Ma jesty's name. If there had been any a!teration in his man ner, he could assure the Hon. Member that alteration had been made for the purpose of calming the agitation of the Hon. Gentleman.—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. BARING ststed, that the Commission for the for mation of a Goverment by the Duke of Wellington was en tirely and completely at an end, and he trusted that the arrangements which would now be made would meet with the approbation of all parties, and would terminate in tho benefit of ehe country._ (Hear, hear.) It had bees generally supposed that the Duke of Wellington had actually accepted office from the King, that he was most anxious to state was not the fact : he had been merely intrusted by his Majesty with the formation of a Ministry, under the circumstances in which the country was placed. RECALL OF EARL GREY. Lord ALTHORP rose, amidst the most tremendous cheers, which lasted for some minutes. When order had been in some degree restored, the Noble Lord stated, th it it had been his intention, as soon as he possibly could to have stated for the information of the House, that Earl Grey had received a communication from his Mijesty that day, and therefore it was his in tention to suggest to the House the propriety of adjourning at its rising to Thursday.—(Houd Cheers.) He entirely concurred with what had been stated by Hon. Members, that it would be most desirable under the present circum stances of the country, that gentlemen should be good enough to abstain from discussion, which could have no other effect than that of exciting feelings of insurrection in the country. Lord PORCHESTER begged to explain on behalf of his Noble relative (Earl Carnarvon), that that Noble Earl never stated in the other House that an Administra tion had beeen formed, but only that it was in the act of formation. Mr. Alderman WAITHNIAN wished to congratulate the House--(Here the noise and vonfusion in the House occasioned by great numbers of Members le tying their seats, that the worthy Aidearnan was obliged to desist, and for some iime no b us i ness w h a tever was done, at I,,ngth) C: Sir J. ROBROUSE moved that the House at its rising do adjourn until Th u r s d a y. Mr. HUME most sincerely hoped and trusted that whatever arrangement was now made Would be final and per manen t—(cheers) and that means, all the had H e meantd s aid d i d r e a t hisdt h ed e b e e r the ef a u u s s a e l event h o e f means which were necessary would be afforded to his the measure of Reform Majesty's Ministers to carry w vh as ic o h ne ha w d h a o c , tu f a o l r ly m t a a n k y ett speedily into effect.—(Ch m ee p f in s c .L ., arisen n ard the King t 0 follow the.itifligic.feeaorfs,hhin;iemohspoatoncrketisnamtonpaw:rlodepdnegsorteltrdya,ioghnbehaltydi from lis o i i a cen t t e r r : w ;i h e ich iu w. d a i . v s ir h iu ig a h ls ly ing allowed to remain in certain situations.—(Cheers.) This was a p to the inmediate tranquillity of the countrA, but to the ultimate an d permanent welfare of all cl asses o f hi s Ma jesty's subjesty.'s subjects.—(Hear.) Mr. TENNYSON erupted thrt the time wu coming when within a few days indeed he and his Noble and Hen. Friends below him would be grateful that his Ma jesty had rejected the advice which they ha tendered to him to commit what he considered to be shock on the Constitution—(Hear, hear, from Sir Robert Peel) —by a large creation of Peers. He as a thorougl Reformer would in an extremity, if no other means had existed, might have recourse to it, but be still hoped that his Majesty having found it resible to insure the success of the measure in a leas expensive, though id cast equally beneficial, from without committing an infractio., on the Constitution, the country would feel and express that gratitude to him to which his conduct entitled him. He trusted too, that no expres■ion would be used in that House or elsewhere th .t could be construed to be any stricture on the course he had pursued. Mr. RUTHVEN entirely ass •nted to the proposition for the adjournment of the- House. Col. SIBTHORP rose to address the House, but was inaudible in the gallery. Mr. HGDGES had a number of petitions to present, but in the circumstance• which had occurred, be did not feal it his duty to trodhle the House at present with the presentation of them. Sir H. HARDINGE requested the permission of the House to notice a paragraph in the Times newspaper, and to ask the Hon. and Learned Member for Caine whether• the expressions he had made use of woe those which were attributed to him in that Journal.? The words that his Learn d Friend had made use of accerdint to the report in that Paper were, " The Right Honourable Gentleman must be aware that the use of swaggering expressions in that place, was a very equivocal proof of spirit as wellas of sense !" Now, accord ing to the construction of this sentence and the confest the inference that would be drawn from the words was, that his. Hon. and Learned Friend had attributed thew swae gering expressions to him, although he must say, that at the time he had looked upon them in a very different light.—( Hear, hear.) It was, therefore, his wish in the roost courteous manner to ask the Hon. and Learned Gentleman whether the words which were ettributed to him, in their connection were meant by him to convey the application to him (Sir Henry Haringe). Mr. MACAULEY begged leave to say that while he could not speak exactly to words, yet in the presence of those who had heard him, he distinctly disclaimed ail per sonal application of the words to the Hon. and Gallant Mernher.—(Cheers from all parts of the House.) All he meant to state was that he (Mr. M.) did not mean to swag ger in that House, but that be seeing the Hon. Gentleman in great excitement and considerable warmth, he thought he was justified in openly, man'ully, and honestly discuss ing the principles and character of a public roan.—<Cheers.) Sir R. PEEL entirely confirmed from his recollection of the speech, the construction which the Hon, and Learned Member now put on the purport of the language he hadused.—(Hear, hear.) _ Sir HENRY H ARDIN GE considered the explanation perfectly satisfactory, but at the same time the House would see that the explan atii.n and the report of his speech were quite incongruous. With regard to his own warmth last night, he roust say, considering the r,lations in which he stood to the Noble Duke considerable latitude should be allowed to him when hypathetictical insults were offered to his Nis!ale Friend, who, whatever his party feelings aniget he, should be reve renced by all Englishmen. Mr. VORTNIAN begged to state to the House thaa hd was not the individual of that name who nad spoken at a meeting in the parish of St. Marylebone the other day. He had made it an invariable rule never to attend a meeting out of his county convened on political occasions, having, as a Member of that House, always an opportu nity of stating his political opinions there. Mr. LENNAHD had several petitions, which had beets encrusted to him, but which, in the circumstances which had occurred, he did not feel himself called upon to present. The otht r orders of the day were then disposed of, an d the House adjourned at Twenty Minutes to Six o'clock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNILS. A general impression prevailed, through the greater part of yesterday, that Parliament would be prorogthd at once, preparatory to a dissolution. Though the course was an extreme—a desperate one, and though it was not easy to comprehend what the new Administration, or rather the new Minister, could propose to himself, by ap pealing to the sense of the people at such a period of ex citement, the fact that it was impossible for him to carry on the Government with the present House of Commons, and in the teeth of their recent resolution, gave the rumour a degree of currency, which it could not other wise have possessed. The result, however, has proved that the rumour was unfounded. Roth Houses met ; both Houses adjourned by their own act, but not before an impression was made in the Home of Commons which, if it do not render the forma tion of a new Ministry by the Duke of Wellington absolutely impossible, has:thrown fresh impediments in the way of its arrangement. The tone of the debate which took place in the House of Commons last night, en the piesentition of the city petition for Reform, and for the refusal of the supplies, in case the Reform Bill should be rejected, was highly creditable to the spirit of that Assembly. It amounted to a declaration that th e accep tance of office by the Duke of Welling ton, on the prin ciple of carrying Reform, would be , a fter his d eclarations in Parliament, both in speeche s and b y p rotest, a bre ich of public morality such as oug ht to de p riv e him of all aorle must S the cir support. This declaration a c q uired consid erable force from the acknowledgments that tell from sonic of th e ant i - Robert cums•ances of any Admi nistration be with which Si r Robert Peel, notwi thstandin g his well-kn own hisanxiety anti reformers olrm and e rs bar t he . m Ase.lv Baring.es and particularly d l e a s r pyera from t Sir for office, dares not coalesce ! Sir R o b ert again re peated determination to refuse office, and it was evident that the Duke had not succeeded in forming a Cabinet, though so many had been formed for him on paper in the course of the day. We, of course, decline publishimr, any of the numerous Ministerial lists at our command, as it is now more certain than ever that such productions are the work of the imagination alone. Meet ings are still in progress every where ; not a post arrives in town without an account of some fresh manifestation on the part of the people, conducted, at the same time, with moderation and firmness. The great meeting at St. John's Wood requires no comment from us. It was, like the rest, a conclusive answer to the charge of reaction. All that has passed, all that is now paasiug, convinces us more and more of the ultimate success of Reform. The Duke of Wellington will, in all probability, fail in the attempt to make up an Administration. It is not improbable, therefore, that the present week will see Lord Grey re stored to power, and the Bill resume its progress under the same auspices by which it was first introduced into Par liament. However this may be, we have reason to be lieve that, up to a late hour last night, the Duke of Wel lington himself formed the whole of his own Administra tion.--morning Herald. We hope Earl Grey will be on his guard against adopt ing too hastily the course which so many Members of the House of Commons were disposed to recommeed in the termination of the debate last night. Lord Ebrington having remarked, in answer to an observation of Mr. Baring's, that if the only object of the parties now entire vouring to form a Government was to prevent an addition to the House of Peers...—and that if the Duke of Wel lington's power over that noble body was sufficient to con vert them from one creed to another so easily as to make them vote in one week for that against which they had protested the week before —that he might have exerted that power more benefic iall y b y inducin g a sufficient num ber of their Lordship s to secede on the Committee, and so athat enable the present M inisters to carry the Bill. Mr. Barin g caught it opene d st i ll ta k e place. Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Hume, Mr. O'Connell , M r. W y nne, Lord In g estrie, and several other M e mbers took the opportunity of recommending con c ili a . Lion; and even M r . Hunt declared that he had n ow sa tisfied himself that the people would scarc e l y accept t h e Bill from any ether hands than th ose o f t h e present Mi nisters. We repeat our advice t o L or d G rey, to weigh tiie eagerly ways t to this a compromise whichnd answered, he hoped might well the consequences of thi s sc h eme before he embarks in it. Let hint reflect upon the regard and esteem which the present majority of the Peers entertain for hint, and the regret and reluctance with which the Court has dispensed with his strvices! If he returns his Minister, he place as w.ll owe his restoration to the utter helplessness of his enemies, to their absolute incapability of forming any Go vernment in which, to use Lord John Russell's words, " honour could enter," or which could last for a month, in the present temper of the House of Commons and of the people. On the other hand, let him well consider his chance of being able to carry through other useful measures against the prejudices and bitter hostility of the Tory Lords —the treatment he has received from the Court —the doubt which is even now thrown upon the power given to him to create Peers--and the certainty of the success of a second intrigue for the removal of a liberal Government, when the public feeling is less excited, and can be less de pended upon for resistance against such attempts. Con ciliation is very we ll—all parties admit the necessity of putting an end to the present state of suspense by carrying the Reform Bill at the earliest possible moment—but the importance of maintaining the character and credit of the Government must not be lost eight of. They have main tained it without stain and without reproach, up to the period of their resignation. Lord Grey has only to wait quietly till the country requires his imam cile, because dishonest successors, to retire, and he • must then return with honour and with power. Would tl e country, for instance, be satisfied without a creation of Peers—smaller, possibly, than might have been neces s iry before the failure of the Tories had sufficiently hum. b'ed the spirits, and diminished the number' of their ad- herents—but still a sufficient creation to give the Honse of Commons the assurance that the public business could be carried on with facility and security ? Can the Clo eernment go on with the host of Tory functionaries who still infest every department of the State? With Lord Hll and Lord Fitzroy Somerset ; with Lord Henry Hey.. tesbury, and Sir Charles Bigot, Mr. Chad, and the whole squad of Tory diplomatists? With Ultra Lord Lien. tenants in England, Scot! mud, and Ireland 7 And what other opportunity will occur to remedy these grievances, if the present was lost ? We therefore aeain entreat Lord Grey to pause.—to he cautious. The Tories are defeated. The Reform Bill must be carried. Let tl9 look forward to the discomfiture of courtiers, intriguers, pensioners, and corruptionists, and to the ultimate object of all our effors—cheap and good go. vernment. We are willing to repair an injustice, which, we believe, we may have been led into, respecting some m ushers of the Fitzelarence family. Lords Errol and Falkland, and Colonel Fox, who are married to three •of the ladies, have most creditably and honourably resigned their posts in the Household; but in proportion as we are willing to do justice to them, we still must point to Lord Munster as the most active and inveterate intriguer (Lord Lyndhurst always excepted) in the late changes. The Court must be further purified : other ladies and gentlemen must follow the fate of Lord Howe. The public will not endure a repetition of these has, and discreditable intrigues to gratify the caprices and revenge of a faction, at the ex. pence of the interests of a whole community.—Moraing Chronicle. The debate last night must have given the new Ad ministration a pleasing foretaste of what it has to expect at the hands of the House of Commooa, if, indeed, this "-phantom of a Government," as it was not inappro priately designated by it, intended leader, Mr. Baring, should ever assume shape or substance. In spi.e of the denials in the Tory Press, and the mysterious language of the party, it appeared pretty clear that the characters were east, the actors rehearsing their parts, and nothing want ing hut the dressing to make the representation perfect. The character of the Bully was, of course, allotted to Sir H. Hardinge Deluded into happy selt.complacency by the ability of Blackwood's Magazine, the gallant bantam cook shook his wings and clapped his spurs, and crowed his testimony to the character of the greet titled Duke. He'd fight any one who said anything against his hero, that he would. But the spirit of the House of Commons was against this bullying, fight ing Bobadil, and his attempt was put down at once by general indignation ; and when the hot-headed little gen tleman, untaught by the first lesson, was rub enough to repeat ii, he was met by one expression of feeling, which at once distingusshed the attempt, and we should think would prevent its repetition. Sir G. Murray tried the part of Joseph Surface, and vainly strove to borrow a leaf from the baok of the Right Hon. Member for Tam mirth, who has sa many years made the character his own. He really thought so much warmth greatly misplaced. How could people have so little ch irity ! " For his part, he thought there was a general understanding in the House that no man was to have any principle." It was a pity to use hard words. To talk of baseness, and infamy, and loss of cliaructer—faugh ! these were words really quite unfirting the assem But te essay of the Glant x- Secretary was di unfortunate ly as that of his brother soldier : he either met with absolute inattention, or jeers and laughter were his reward. But the chief part was re+ served for Mr. Baring, the trump card of the patty, the di stilted leader of the Polignac Government. Having tried the purse-proud line on a former occasion without much soirees, we heard no more of the dirty low-bred peo ple, the brawlers at public meetings, and their delegates in the ,use of Commons. He raised his half-fledged wings as Leader, and all was to be dignity and discretion. The result was absolutely ludicrous. "He really knew nothing of what was doing, not he. He was not authorised to speak for the Duke. He had had no interview with the King. He e in w ig k i e n re th o e r o li th ou er s , t h o e f ca ti r ,e rie f d utu th r e e re Le c a t d m er ld , had declared that some measure of an extensive nature was f p r r o i m vate th r e . he m g , iln C h ad om o t i n ' o p n o s se ; d but ße f o i n rm a be outraged, that the House of Peers would fall if the Bill indispensable. He had declared that the Monarchy would passed ; but he begged to say that what be meant was, that either." Shouts of laughter, or sneering cheers followed Leader's consistency n s n is o te h n: and eachunle unless announcement n Bill ''r s o f power of explanation, and at last the unhappy deburarst was driven to retire on a declaration of his own conviction that there was no such thing as political immorality. Poor Id man ! return to your ledger —go look to the Three per Cents. • * * s * • te an d you may still be listened to, the incarnation of a whole debate, or share the smile of sucking Members during their year's probation. We allude not to the speeches which were made on the other side. For them we refer to our re port. They are admirable in their tone anti their matter ; and they were received by the House in a way which shows the feelings which are entertained by the House of Commons of political bssene.s and profligacy. But one speech we must notice. Sir Robert Inglis, the very Bay ard of the Tories, the double.distilled Member for Oxford, rose, and declared that, opposed as he was to the Bill, determined as be was to resist it to the last, he would rather have it carried tit in see such an example of political profligacy, such a blow struck at the character of all public men, as must be given by the Duke of Wellington's adopt ing the Bill. If this debate does not shame the Tories from their purpose—if, after this exposure, men have yet the courage to degrade themselves so far as to be parties to it, we must have Colonel Pride's purge administered by the people.—Morning Chronicle. We are assured, on the best authority, that the only two documents in existence at the present moment, ema nating from the embryo Administration, are—l. A Com mission, putting the Great Seal in Commission—the Lynd hurst job !-2. A Proclamation, declaring all Unions ilk gal, and authorising the arrest of their Members. This last document, it is said, is now preparing by Mr. Pem berton, of the Chancery Bar. Foolish old Wellington ! Proscribe the Unions ! Arrest the Unionists! England and its brave intelligent people, are no more to be arrested in their determined purpose by you and your myrmidons, whether clothed in black or red, than you can redeem your lost character. We should like to ask this despotic soldier on whom he reckons to carry his proclamations into execution? fhe Yeomanry are all Reformers. The Constables ere Unionists. Not a Magistrate will act. Imagination cannot picture a more amusing scene than the entry of some military satellite —some bullying bragga docio, into Birmingham, for the purpose of suppressing its patriotic Union. We will venture to say, if we know our modest but hard-hitting countrymen, that he will find them much more awkward customers than any he ever encountered in the Peninsula.—Morning Chronicle. The present critic has everywhere led men who before remained neutral, to declare themselves, as they find that matters are now come to that pass—that he who is not for the people will b. deemed against the people. Hence,within these few da)s, the Unions throughout the country have been joined extensively by people of substance and consido r.ition in their respective neighbourhoods. In Birmingham in particular, we learn that the list of members of the Political Union, which has been published, contains a number of bankers, merchants, and manufacturers of the highest degree of respectability. As it is in contemplation to proceed against these Unions, the higher class of Re formers are now in honour bound to come forward to make common cause with their humble countrymen. We must be the bundle of sticks. Heads and hands must not be separated.—Morning Chrogick. We earnestly recommend to our countrymen the forma tion of a Reform Rent. We know, not how soon Parlia ment may be dissolved, and it would be unbecoming the people to call on gentlemen to sacrifice their fortunes in the cause of Reform. When men entered Parliament to eschange their votes for the public treasure, or for the consequence that a seat in the House of Commons might give, the nation was disposed to keep aloof ; but the battle now carried uu is that of the people, and the people can not consistently call on individuals both to fight their battle and defray the charge of it. We are the nation, and a very small contribution from each individual would suffice to secure the return of Reformers. We trust this idea will he taken up. --Morning Chronicle.
