A spirit of insubordination is still very general among the
labouring classes. In several cases assemblages of the peasantry
have taken the law into their own hands, and after having die.
tated terms to the farmers, have, so far rather considerately we
must own, insisted on the Clergy enabling the farmer to meet
his increased expeneet by an ample reduction of tithes. Tithes
and rents must cow' down, and then, perhaps, we shall see the
Aristocracy and the Chtirch joining in the demands for a reduc-
tion of the taxes and for a Iletbrm in Parliament. Till this is
accomplished we despair of beholding a restoration of prosperity
and good order—anti under any circumstances it will be long
ix lore the labouring classes are entirely rescued fiom the demo.
Wised and desperate condition to which misgovernment has
reduced them. The rights of human nature can never be violated
with impunity, and we are paying the frightful price of our
political and social errors.

public opinion can be expressed,— and that, when expressed, it

these times, of every one of our reflecting countrymen. We
will not iterate our repeated arguments in favour of reform; but
we would appeal to those who are opposed to it in any shape or
degree, whether this recent manifestation of public Opinion,
illustrated by practical results, is not a sufficient test of the ab.

The administration of the ukencaster
W ofWellington
is. at an end.
After the signal defeat of Ministers in the House of Commons,
on Monday evening, on the motion of Sir Henry Parnell for a
Select Committee to examine the Civil List, nothing less than a
dissolution of the Cabinet could have been antici uted. It may
be true, as has been asserted, that less ministerial Influence has,
from whatever cause, been exercised during the last election
than at any former period. But the weakness of the Cabinet
itself has been proverbial ; and its unpopularity has been in.
creased and its dissolution accelerated, not only from the tone of
certain passages contained in the Royal Speech, but from the
determined manner in which the Duke of Wellington expressed
himself against the retbnn of all abuse in the representation, and
in favour of an adherence to things as they are. These have
proved the death.blow to the administration ; and its dis-olut ion
presents another convincing proof of the accumulating weight
of public opinion.

bourhood, entered the Church, and were recvived with deafen.
ing cheers. On the motion of Mr. D. Ritchie, Sir John Maxwell
was called to the chair. Mr. Gardner, writer, after a speech of
considerable length and eloquence, proposeda series of resolu-

present ar °melons stare of the representation, and urged the
propriety of a speedy Radical Reform, and Vote by Ballot. The
resolutions were seconded by Mr. Mason.
Mr. HOUSTON spoke in favour of the resolutions as they
stood, as all was called lbr In the words Radical Reform. 'I hey
should act consistently, and not ask what would render their
Ohm; ridiculous.—The resolutions were then carried amid im-
mense cheering.
Mr. FLEMING, after a few appropriate remarks relative to
the necessity of Rolm!), read the petitions to the King and the
Commons, which being seconded by Mr. John Henderson, were
unanimously agreed to amid deafening cheers.
The meeting was thereafter addressed by Mr. WALLACE of
Kelly, with his usual eloquence, and his speech was rot eatedly
int errupte 4 by enthusiastic cheering.
When the petitions to the King and House of Commons were
agreed to, Mr. WALLACE congratulated the Meeting on their
good sense, on having resolved to petition the King and House
of Commons only. So long as he lived he would never conde.
wend to sign a petition to that corrupt oligarchy, the House of
Peers, who domineer over the rights and privileges of both King
and people....(Great applause.)
