to the necessity of exertion at the elections. The county
of Kildare, which he had the honour to represent, fully par-
took of the spirit that was abroad, and the people there
were ready to join their countrymen in the crisis that ha: :t
come. The Hon. Gentleman was admitted a member• of
the Society.
Mr. BARRETT warmly deprecated the accession of a
Tory Administration to office. He himself had personally
suffered by the Whigs, but he forgot his own injuries in the
public danger, and he forgave them. If the Tories re-
turned to power, it would be a death-blow to the liberties
of Europe, and the happiness of the entire European family.
—(Cheers.) He was not an admirer of the Whigs, but he
did not wish to see them removed to make way for Tory-
ism.—(Cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL then moved the adjournment of the
Association to this day.
The meeting then adjourned to this day.

NORWICH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,-It appears to me that the fate of the Tory go-
vernment might be settled in a week, thus :—Let two
statements be drawn up—one to be signed by all members
of Parliament, who are opposed in sentiment, the other by
the people in each county and town. Let these declarations
BE WORDED IN PRECISELY THE SAME SPIRIT, as the decla-
ration of the metropolitan members, and as nearly as cir-
cumstances will allow IN THE VERY WORDS. Such
declarations will be signed by ALL REFORMERS
(Radical and Whig), and would, I doubt not, receive the
assent of two-thirds of the House of Commons, and a like
proportion of the people—millions of whom are now quie-
scent, lest they should be supposed to approve wholly of the
acts of the late Administration. B.

BRISTOL.
PRIVATE-PUBLIC MEETING.
The hot-bed of Toryism was held this morning in the
Horticultural Rooms, top of Park-street. Never was there
such a display of noxious plants beheld. Out of a population
of near 120,000, not more than 1,000 were seen in the
room, including persons from the country and Bath. Peti-
tions were laid on the lawn for signatures to the King,
Lords, and Commons. About one o'clock there was ad-
mission given to those who would sign the addresses, else
they were excluded (not knowing what they were) ; this
was their conduct. We expect shortly a meeting of the
Reformers, not by cards and circulars, but by general pub-
lic advertisement. We are not afraid of our cause. It
must stand—it will stand—it shall stand—in spite of all
opposition !—Yours, &c.

A REFORMER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR—As a constant reader of your invaluable paper, I
beg to trouble you with a small piece of information. There
is, as the Tories call it, " a great meeting" here to-day of
their body, to support (as they describe it) the Church.
This meeting is professedly a public meeting, whereas no
person is admitted without a ticket.
Every vestry throughout the city has assembled, and
acted under orders from their Captain, who is an old silly
corporator ; but his regiment is a most servile one ; they
throw up their caps and cry " Wellington for ever," not
heeding or caring if he be Liberal or Conservative. They
are all, or nigh all, men who have directly or indirectly fat-
tened on abuses ; and, poor silly souls! still hope to plunder
once again. The nature of the meeting should be known.
Your well-wisher,

Bristol, Nov. 2G.

STRATFORD-ON-AVON.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—A portion of the weak-minded clergymen con-
nected with the Established Church of Stratford-upon-
Avon and its vicinity, gave vent to their inexpressible joy
on receivinc, tidincrs of the dissolution of the Whig Minis-
try, by walking from street to street in orange ribbons. I
have not heard whether the clergy and their partisans, in
any other town in England, ventured to make such a bold
a display ; therefore I am anxious that the spirited conduct
of our clergy should not be lost sight of. I have only to
say that this paltry exhibition of party-spirit elicited nothing
more than a smile of ineffable contempt, that they should
suffer—

" The expedition of their violent love—to
Outrun the pauser reason."
Should a general election, or any other political commo-
tion occur, the vain and ostentatious conduct of these
" Gentlemen in black," on the occasion before alluded to,
will not be entirely forgotten.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.

POOLE, Nov. 26.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The Standard of last evening professes to give an
account of a meeting of the Corporation of Poole, on the
24th, and of an Address then voted to his Majesty. The
intention of the writer is evidently to impress the public
with an idea of the political feelings of the inhabitants—the
very reverse of the truth. Poole is a town containing up-
wards of 7,000 inhabitants—it is also blessed with a corpo-
ration consisting of 81 resident burgesses, who, with a
Mayor and Senior Bailiff, sway our destinies. It is true,
in the Address to his Majesty, the word " commonalty" is
appended, by which it is intended the inhabitants should be
included. The meeting is pompously described in the
Standard as " most numerous, pursuant to a requisition, and
the majority overwhelming." But to the facts. The requi-
sition was carried round late on Saturday evening to the
houses of a few (Poole won't produce twelve) of the Tories ;
special care being taken to avoid publicity. The Mayor
issues a printed notice on Sunday, which is circulated
during Divine Service for a meeting on Monday morning—
the thing being
.previously arranged. The Tory burgesses,
having at all times a certain number of men under com-
mand, assemble with a ready-cut-and-dried address which
they move shall be presented by the Duke of Wellington
to his Majesty. They were urged to show the necessity—
the propriety of such an Address ; but no, they persisted
in maintaining dignified silence. The Corporation Seal was
affixed, and before the meeting is generally known in the
town to have taken place, the Address appears in the
Standard.
I am happy to inform you, however, that a requisition,
most extensively and respectably signed, has been presented
to the Sheriff, requesting a public meeting of the inhabitants
to be convened for the purpose of conveying to his Majesty
the cordial approbation of the inhabitants to the general
measures and policy of the late administration, and earnestly
imploring that men may be called to his Majesty's councils
whose past public conduct affords a guarantee for their
carrying into full operation the great principles of the Re-
form Act. Whether the Sheriff shall consent to call a
meeting or not, a meeting we shall have, which we dare to
tell our " hole and corner" Corporation will leave them in
an " overwhelming" minority. A.

HULL.
(From the Hull Observer.)
Can an Administration, formed by the Duke of Welling-
ton, stand ? To answer this question it is necessary to ask
who are to be the Members, and what are to be the prin-
ciples of that Administration ? The members of the em-
bryo Government are to be Tories, such as formerly sat
upon the Treasury benches with the Duke. Peel—Her-
ries—Scarlett—Goulburn— Wetherell, are prominent names
upon the list. Will they be determined Anti-Reformers—
will they be for a system of temporizing Whig management
—will they be thoroughly liberal in their measures ? As
Anti-Reformers alone can they hope to be supported by
their accustomed confederates. To retain these they must
be prepared to erect a rampart of penal statutes and a
palisade of bayonets against every innovation in Church
and State. But can they meet the House of Commons,
or the constituency of that House, as Anti-Reformers ?
Can they satisfy Ireland as tithe proteetors ? Can they
bring over Scotland, with its reformed municipalities, and
England, with its enlarged electoral system, to their leading
dogma, that what ever is old ought to be everlasting ? If
they can accomplish these things they will prove themselves
more astute sages in the arts of government than any the
world has yet seen.

EDINBURGH.
(From the Edinburgh Chronicle. )
The Times and the Courier have already hoisted Wel-
lington colours. The Times is notorious for advocating
whichever side it thinks will be most for its pecuniary inte-
rest. Fixed opinions it has none, and moral scruples appear
not to he troublesome to its conductors. If we may judge
from its conduct for some months past, the Courier appears
to have resolved to act on the same principle ; and more-
over, to place unlimited confidence in the judgment of the
Times as to what card will turn up trump. The Times has,
however, made some gross msicalculations of late, and we
trust that in this case, too, it will find itself mistaken. Con-
sidering the mighty influence of the press, and its power,
by misrepresentation and downright perversion of truth, to
mislead the public mind, it is to be regretted that there
should be any unprincipled scoundrels connected therewith,
but as there is a proportion of atioli worthies in every class
of society, it world be unreasonable to expect the " Fe,urth
Estate" to be free of them, But as the public_ instinctively
avoid vagabonds, as a matter of interest and feeling, in all
the ordinary intercourse of life, mercantile and social, it
might be expected that they would also discontinue rascally
papers. And so in the long run undoubtedly they do.
