STATE OF THE METROPOLIS.

(From the City Correspondent of the Morning Herald.)
WHIMENDAY Evrstoo,

We cannot recollect A time when people, so far as the City is
concerned, were disposed to take a more gloomy view of the state
of foreign and domestic politics. Every one appears to be dissa-
tisfied with the proceedings of the Ministers in Parliament last
night, particularly with the speech of the Duke of NVellington.
Even his Grace's most decided friends acknowledge that his ob-
servations in the House of Lords were in the highest degree ill..
Judged. A great many people were of opinion that the • Duke
was in his heart friendly to a moderate reform of Parliament
and thought that it was not improbable that he would consent
to give Members to the large unrepresented towns. Others
were of opinion that he would be willing to yield to circum.
stances; and that he would, at any rate, not have openly de.
dared himself the determined enemy of all retbrm. Ibis de-
claration will increase his unpopularity a thousand fold. His
remarks relative to that part of tke Speech which speaks of
the interference with the affairs of Belgium are also considered
as very unsatisfactory. But what has greatly increased the
gloomy apprehensions in the City are the reports AR to the rummer
ner in which the populace behaved last night. It is said that the
cries of the mob were truly terrific. They were, we are told, ahnost
exclusively directed against the new pollee and the Duke of Wel-
Boston. On his return from the House of Lords his Grace took
the precaution of going Imam in the carriage of the Prince Es.
terhasy. He was, however, soon recognised and immediately
assailed with volleys of hisses oldie most decided anti vehement
description. It Is added, that his empty carriage was petted with
stones, and that it was very much injured. It Is add that there
are delegates front the country in town and that they met last
night fur the ostensible purpose of devising means to present a
petition to his Majesty on his way to Guildhall. But many per.
sons think that, after all, his Majesty will not dine at
hall, and bets are otibred in support of this opinion.

Considerable gloom prevailed in the City to.day, arising from
the King's Speech, and the Ministerial speeches in both Houses
of Parliament last night. The declaration of the Duke of Wel-
lington against reform, end no hopes having been held out of
a reduction of taxes, caused much disappottitment, and a MM.
plete panic in the Funds. The Stock Exchange was inundated
with rumours of a very extravagant character and though some
of them are totally unfounded, yet the public mind is in that
sensitive state, that every report makes some impression, and
adds to the gloom of the day. Among other rumours it was
said the police are to be armed—the volunteers, are au the eve of
being incorporated—and the militia are to be called out forth.
with. Among timid minds the tiots of Monday villa have
produced much serious apprehension ; and time determination to
interfere in the
question of the Netherlands, first of course,
by mediation and conciliatory measures, and the expression of
the Duke of Wellington, that he hopes there will be no bcot.
