TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—To-night Greenock, Paisley, and Glssgow, and
other places in the neighbourhood, are all in a blaze. The
Joy is universal--all here are in extacy at the cherrinz
prospects of becoming freemen. Scotland is-aroused, and
woe be to those who now dare drive from the lips of her
sons the cup of freedom. Our beloved Sovereign, and
the patriotic three hundred and two, are the constant
theme. It is obvious to all that it is now of no use for the
boroughmongers to hold out any longer—let them sur-
render with a good grace, or God knows where this will
end. The people say the buroughinongers refuse to grant
our rights, when our King and Ministry demand it.
They may as well attempt to dam the Clyde at Ailsa
Craig as to attempt to deprive us any longer of our rights.
It may be now said that the sons of Scotia have buckle'
on their armour : let the King and Ministry but say
march, and to the battle field would thousands of them
direct their steps—not only with the spirit of a Pole, but
with the devotedness of their martyrs. It is all up with
the old order of things.

I am, Sir, yours, /kr.
A SCOTCH REFORMER.
Greenock, March 29, 1831.

~,i

On Wednesday the LORD MAYOR gave a
splendid entertainment to the merchants and hankers who
accompanied him to present to his MAJESTY the address
of the great body of merchants and bankers of the city of
London, in favour of the Ministerial measure of Reform.

Lord SURREY left Arundel Castle a few days
since for London. His Lordship is to have the command,
it is reported, of a corps of yeomanry. It is also rumoured
that a new Tow❑ Hill is about to be erected at Arundel
by subscription, for which purpose 1,0001. bas already been
advanced.

The moving a new writ for queen's County, ,
on the promotion of Sir HENRY PARNELL, does not look
as if Ministers were contemplating an early dissolution of
Parliament ; as, it is, however, Sir HENRY is likely
enough to incur the trouble and expence of two elections
w.thin a short period.
THE NEW SECRETARY AT WAR.—The
Right Hon. Author of " Financial Reform." whose in-
defatigable industry and active habits of business are ex-
pected to secure the most efficient discharge of this very
important and laborious office, is the representative of an
ancient and distinguished family, seated at Rathleague
Court, Queen's county. The father of Sir HENRY ob-
tained a Baronetcy in the year 1766, and his justly cele-
brated successor in the title was, at an early period of
life, returned to Parliament for his native county. Sir
HENRY sustained a protracted and expensive contest for
the representation of the Queen's county in 1820, when
the Baronet and Lord MAitrnoitouctr (thin the Right
Hon. WILLIAM WELLESLEY POLE) were opposed by Sir
CHARLES COOTS (the present sitting Member) and Ge-
neral DUNN. The election terminated in favour of Sir
H. PARNELL and Lord MAEYBOROUGLL j but, on the
elevation of the latter to the English Peerage, Sir C.
Cool's: was elected in his room. The Right Hon• Ba-
ronet is related to many of the noblest families in thes;i2s;
