COPENHAGEN, JULY B.—The Prince of Glucksbur
embarked on the 4th on board the steam-boat for Lubeck,'
whence it is said he will go to England to compliment the
young Queen. On the 4th his Majesty gave public au-
dience for the first time since his illness, and on the Gth
was the first sitting of the Council of State.

HAMBURG/I, JULY Imperial Highness, the
Grand Duke Michael Pawlowitsch, arrived here this fore-
moon on his return to Russia, and soon afterwards set out
for Lubeck.

A notice of the Hanoverian Cabinet Ministry of the
10th announces that from that day the tolling of the
Church bells ordered on the death of his late Majesty, is
to cease. Music in the Churches is again permitted, .4nd
the prohibition of public diversion revoked.
HANovEn, JULY 11.—His Majesty has been pleased
to put himself at the head of the Guards. By a general
order to the army signed by Major-General Hans Bussche,
it has been informed that the King on his accession to the
Government has been pleased to take on himself the com-
mand of the army, and that his Majesty on this occasion
sincerely thanks his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
for the manner in which he has exercised his functions
as Commander-in-Chief, and especially expresses his satis-
faction at the excellent spirit of attachment and loyalty in
the army, which, under the many years' command of his
Royal Highness, has been cultivated and approved under
difficult circumstances. Under the same date the Duke
Limself issued a general order to the army, expressing his
thanks to it, and in particular to the Generals and Com-
manders, and the distinguished corps of officers to whose
assistance his Royal Highness chiefly ascribes the respect-
able condition and excellent spirit of the army ; also to
all the officers, subalterns, and privates, for the fidelity,
obedience, discipline, and devotion to the service which they
;have shown under his command. The Duke expresses in
electing terms the pain it gives him to part from an army
in which he first served, with which he acted in the field,
and at the head of which he has been so long placed. He
spesics of its ancient glory, which it has fully maintained in
presence of the enemy, assures it that he shall never cease to
be interested in its welfare, and that lie is convinced that he
shall always see it loyal to its King, obedient to its supe-
riors, brave in the field, and only in the path of true honour.
Deeply affected by these expressions of his Royal Highness,
Generals Von Allen, and Bussche,Hallkett, Hurtmann and
kielmamnseggs, have given in its name an answer, drawn
up in the same spirit, affirming that they shall constantly
preserve in their hearts the most profound regret, and the
most since re attachment to his Royal Highness.
Hast-atracti, JULY 14.—The Hanover Gazelle declares
that there is no foundation for the report that two of the
Hanoverian Ministers had resigned.—Hamburg Papers,
July 14. .

fiIIUSSEI;f.3, JULY 15.--The Moniteur publishes two
decrees, dalted Paris the 9th of this month, by which Baron
Ghigny, retired General of Division, and Brigadier-General
Doncker, Member of the Supreme Military Tribunal, are
appointed Knights of the Order of Leopold.
The King and Queen and the Prince Royal will arrive
at the Palace of Laeken, from Paris, on Sunday (to-
morrow, the 16th).
The soldiars belonging to the several regiments of the
reserve are to be assembled to-morrow. When we see the
reserve called under arms, at a moment too when the several
corps here have their full complement—when we compare
this circumstance with the list of nominations and promo-
tions lately published by the Moniteur, we are naturally
led to ask whether the armistice is broken, or whether we
are going to march to some unknown conquest ? We
know that these questions have been asked in some families,
and that this unusual display of force has caused alarm.
'We believe there is no reason for apprehension ; there does
mot appear to be the slightest cloud in our political horizon
to be dispelled by the firing of cannon. But we fear that
tine aristocracy of the army has been seized with a sudden
fancy to play at soldiers. Now this play is not to every
bod/s taste ; it will be very expensive to the State, and it
take* from their occupations some thousands of men, most
of whom are married, the fathers of young children, whose
lalwur is indispensable for the support of their families.

REPRESENTATION of MIDDLESEX.

Last night there was a numerous meeting of the elec-
tors of Middlesex held at the Angel Inn, Islington, for
the purposc of adopting the best means of securing the re-
turn of their late representatives, Messrs. Byng and
Hume. The room was crowded to excess by the most
respectable electors of the district, and the utmost unani-
mity seemed to prevail on the subject ; at eight o'clock
P. Martineau, Esq. was called to the Chair.
Mr. MARTIN rose to move the first resolution, to the
effect that it was the duty of every elector to promote the
practical developement of the principles declared by her
most gracious Majesty on her accession to the Throne.
Mr. HEWITT briefly seconded this resolution.
Mr. WARBURTON appeared before them not only as an
elector of Middlesex, but as Chairman of the Committee
whose object it was by their exertions to secure the re-
turn of Messrs. Byng and Hume.—(Cheers.) If they
did not now do their duty, they would have:no one to com-
plain of. They could not say that the conduct of the
House of Commons was tedious, vexatious, or tyrannical.
—( Heas, hear.) Let them then return to Parliament such
men as Hume and Byng.—(Cheers.) Of the latter's ser-
vices they had been long experiencing the benefit, and
with regard to Mr. Hume, they could all remember the
manner in which he had exposed the enormities of tho
Orange faction—(Great cheering)—with the Duke of
Cumberland, the Grand Master, at their head.
An ELECTOR, whose name we did not catch, proposed

the second resolution, to the effect that their late Repre-
sentatives were entitled to the renewed confidence and sup-
port of the electors of Middlesex, for their steady adhe-
rence to the principles of Reform, and their endeavours to
maintain the privileges of the people, and the Constitution
of the country.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. SHARI', and carried
unanimously.
J. B. BURNARD, Esq., proposed the third resolution,
which was seconded by Mr. MAY, and also carried unani-
mously, to the effect that the meeting pledged itself to se-
cure the return of their late Members.

Mr. BYNG then presented himself to the meeting, and
was received with loud and long-continued cheering. From
the earliest part of his political life when he came forward
as a candidate for the representation of that county, he had
never been actuated by any personal object whatever.—
(Hear.) His whole and sole object had been to serve his
constituents, first, by making the House of Commons—
not in name, but in reality—a representation of the people;
and, secondly, to do away with all those shameful and fdis-
graceful Acts which prevented the Dissenters of this coun-
try from enjoying the same rights and privileges which had
been extended to Churchmen.—(Cheers.) Every feeling
he possessed arose from the sole motive of doing the great-
est good for the greatest number.

Air. Hum: entered into a detail of his Parliamentary con-
duct for the last 20 years, which he showed to be perfectly
in accordance with th 9 principles he then advocated. From
the Royal speech which he had heard delivered that day,
he thought they would find not as formerly a hostile Court,
but a Sovereign willing to sanction such measures as went
to ameliorate the condition of the people, He thanked God
they had nothing now to fear ; there was not the remnant
of a Tory left about the Court.—(Great cheering.)
Mr. BOLTON then put two questions—the first, as to
whether Mr. Hume would vote for a reduction of the
Queen Dowager's pension to fifty thousand pounds ; and
the second, as regarding the Poor-law Amendment Act.
As to the former, Mr. HUME had objected to it when
first introduced, but his late Majesty had only consented
to the Reform Bill, by having his family arrangements sa-
tisfactorily settled—(Hear, hear)—and now that the King
was dead, he would not be the man to attack a defenceless
woman.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hume then entered into a long
explanation on the Poor-law Bill, which was received with
every demonstration of applause ; and when lie concluded,
he sat down amid loud cheers.

Many eloquent speeches were delivered during the even-
ing, and thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting
separated.

REPRESENTATION OF E-ST.

SURREY.

Last evening a numerous and respectable meeting of the
electors of Clapham took place at the Cock Inn, in that
parish, to hear the expression of their political opinions
from Mr. Locke King and Mr. Angerstein, candidates for
the representation of East Surrey. At seven o'clock, John
Travers, Esq., Chairman of the City of London Election
Committee, took the Chair. . . .

The CHAIRMAN had the satisfaction of assuring them
from returns, which he had seen of the results of the can-
vass, that they would triumph over their opponents by a
majority of at least three to one.—(Loud cheering.)
Mr. STURT proposed the first resolution, which was—
" That this meeting is of opinion that the present crisis is
one that peculiarly demands the exertions of the Reformers
of East Surrey, to return two Liberal Members to represent
them in the House of Commons."
Mr. NICHOLSON seconded the resolution.
Mr. LOCKE KING then came forward, and was enthu-
siastically cheered. Our young Queen has dissolved Par-
liament, and has appealed to the feelings and privileges of
the country. She has shown what her own principles are,
even by the fact of her not allowing a single Tory to remain
about her person. Now, he thought the electors of the
county ought to do as much as the Queen had done ; and
as she had not employed a single Tory near her, they
ought not to employ a single Tory to represent them.—
(Laughter and cheers.) Do we want any proofs of what
the fruits of Toryism are ? Look to the Pension List, and
look to the extraordinary creation of Peers which occurred
during their rule.—(Hear.) Look to the late exemplifi-
cation of the result of those principles in the kingdom of
Hanover.—(Hear.) Why the King of that country not
alone has abrogated the Constitution of the Hanoverians,
but he has not been decently civil to them.—(Laughter.)
Every man who would vote for the Tories would vote for
revolution—for the rule of the Tories would lead to revo-
lution.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ANGERSTEIrsT was a Constitutional Reformer. As
to the pension list to which Mr. Locke King had alluded,
he had voted for its revision. As to the privilege of the
Lords to vote by proxy, when that question was intro-
duced into the House of Commons, although he had his
doubts whether the House of Commons had any right to
interfere in the constitution of the House of Lords, yet
be voted with Mr. Thomas Duncombe on that question
against the present Government.
A resolution declaratory of the intention of the meeting
to support Mr. Locke King and Mr. Angerstein, at the
next election, was then proposed and seconded, and carried
unanimously.
Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting
soon after separated.

REPRESENTATION OF WEST-

MINSTER.

A public meeting was held last night, at the Crown and
Anchor, Strand, for the purpose of considering the senti-
ments of the candidates to represent Westminster in Par-
liament. Mr. DECKER was called to the Chair.

Mr. PROUT rose to propose a resolution " That the
meeting approve the conduct and opinions of Colonel Evans
and J. T. Leader, Esq., and pledge themselves to exert
themselves to the utmost to secure their return," which
was carried unanimously.
Colonel EVANS was greeted upon rising with cordial ap-
probation. He had been calumniated grossly by his poli-
tical opponents, both in the House and through the Tory
press. They first called him a runaway from his consti-
tuents, and afterwards a coward for returning to his post.
There was no pleasing them.—(A laugh.) The increased
experience he had obtained would enable him to advocate
the abolition of flogging with more effect than before ; and
if he had the honour of being returned, he should take the
earliest opportunity of bringing the question forward.
Mr. LEADER was happy to congratulate the electors
upon the present appearances, compared with those at the
last contest. The Court was against us then—it is with
us now. For himself, he was satisfied that Westminster,
which for thirty years had returned Reformers, would not
forsake the good cause now, but would uphold its high and
honourable character.

REPRESENTATION OF MARYLE-

BONE.

Yesterday there was an exceedingly important meeting
of the electors of Marylebone, held at Hall's Riding
School, Albany-street, Regent's Park, for the purpose of
promoting the return of Sir Samuel Whalley and Mr.
Young. Lord Nugent was called to the Chair.
Lord NUGENT said union was strength ; let them be
united and victory was certain—disunited, they would be
beaten and disgraced.—( Hear, hear.) All England was
looking to them for example—it was from the metropolis
that the life-blood- of Reform flowed, and he hoped that
they would not allow it to be tainted at its very source.—
(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY then read the report of the Committee
on the subject of the election.
Sir S. WHALLEY then presented himself, and was
greeted with loud cheering, and cries of " Hall and Whal-
ley." He courted the fullest investigation, and he hoped,
as it was their duty, they would call him to a strict ac-
count.—(Cheers, and cries of " The Railroad.") He d►d
not know whether that was meant as an accusation ; if so,
he should be glad to hear all that could be urged upon the
subject. He had yet to learn that, because he was ho-
noured by being selected as one of their Representatives,
he should be prohibited from applying his private fortune in
whatever way he liked.—( Hear, hear.) This was the time
above all others fur Reformers to be united ; they should
