TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sm.—To-night Greenock, Paisley, and Glisgow, and
other places in the neighbourhood, are ttli in a blaze. The
joy is universal.—all here are in eztacy at the cheering
prospects of becoming freemen. Scotland is aroused, and
woe be to those who now dare drive from the lips of her
eons the cup of fieedom. 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
boroughmnnger■ to hold out any longer-Llet them sur-
render with a good grace, or God knows where this will
end. The people say the boroughtnottgers refuse to grant
our rights, when our King and Ministry dem md it.
They may as well attempt to dam the Clyde at Ails&
Craig as to attempt to deprive us any longer of our rights.
It may he 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, &e.
A SCOTCH REFORMER.
Greenock, March 29, 1831.

On Wednesday the LORD MAYOR gave a
splendid entertainment to the merchants and baokrrs who
accompanied him to present to his NIAJESTT the address
of the great body of merchants and bankers of the ci,y 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 Town Hdl is about to be erected at Arundel
by subscription, for which purpose 1,000/. his 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
within a short period.
THE NEW SECRETARY AT WAR.-The
Right Hon. Author of " Financial Re(ornt," whose in-
defatigable industry and active habits of business are ex-
pected to secure the most efficient discharge of tlois 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 1786, 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 MARYBOROUCH (thin the Right
lion. MrttctrAm WELLESLET POLE) wire opposed by Sir
CHARLES CoorE (the present sitting Member) and Ge-
neral DUNK. The election terminated in favour of Sir
11. PARNELL and Lord MAavaoxouGit ; but, on. the
