LONDON :
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 183 D.

In another part of The Sun our readers will fit,
a report of the new SOLICITOR-GENERAL'S speec'
at Newark on Monday last, on the occasion of hi,
again claiming the suffrages of his constituents.
This speech—unlike most lawyers' speeches—is
distinguished by a frank and manly simplicity.
The lion. and Learned Gentleman, indulges in
no specious professions—in no patriotic clap-traps,
but appeals to his past, as a voucher for his future,
conduct. Such as he has been in Parliament, such
will he continue to be. On taking office he has
nothing to recant—no promises to falsify. As
SOLICITOR-GENERAL he is as strictly indepen-
dent as he was when plain Sergeant WILDE.
He has always advocated the Ballot—the Ballot
lI will continue to advOcate. He has always strug-
gled for Reforms, on a bold but temperate and
constitutions) scale such Reforms will
still find in theiY gfaunchest advocate.
It is his boast that he ipis nothing to forget
—nothing to apologize for—no retrograde steps
to take, when lie feels that he should be on
the advance. Again, his new d►gnity is not the
consequence of Court or Ministerial favour, He has
been chosen, because he has been thought worthy. In-
creased emolument he cannot hope to derive from his
Solicitor-Generalship, but he may derive from it
some little increase of personal and political weight
and this influence he will devote to furthering the
great objects of Reform. Such is a brief abstract
of the SOLICITOR•GENERAL'S address to his
constituents ; and we feel assured that its frank,
straight-forward earnestness of character, will not
Ile without its due weight at Newark,

A pubi.-. -'. niepting was held at Birmingham on
Monday last, on
c' i •
the gudirct of the new Govern-
illiA, otne of the principa
meta Police Bill, at 7
inhabitants of the town were present. Many ani-
mated speeches were made on the occasion, for
which we refer our readers to the Itei:
ort of the
meeting, which will be found elsewhere in The u. 4.1"
of this day.

The Bishop of EXETER'S letter, to which We
alluded yesterday, and the rejoinder of the Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE, will be found in another
part of our Paper. The Noble President of the
Council has so completely smashed the Right
Reverend Father in GOD that it would be a work
of supererogation in us to dwell at any length upon
the merits of this singular and highly interesting
correspondence. Never was mitred arrogance more
effectually hurled to the dust ; never was whining
hypocrisy exposed to public disgust in a more tem-
perate manner, or In a more truly Christian spirit ;
