DISSOLUTION OF THE MINISTRY-PUBLIC
MEETING IN LEITH.

Last night, at half-past seven o'clock, a meeting of the
inhabitants of Leith, called by a numerously signed requi-
sition to the Provost, was held in the Chapel, Stout-'s.
alley, on the subject of the resignation of Eari greyand
Lord Althorp, and for expressing confidences in the Reformed
Ministry, of which they had hitly':,,o formed so efficient
members. Provost Whyte iv"s called to the chair. The
meeting was very numer,ns, the chapel being crowded to
the door, and many ',ersons having gone without being able
to get admissir:,-n. The meeting was addressed by Mr.
Thornburr., sen., Mr. Thomas Hay, Mr. Reoch, Mr. Eben.
Watser.'i, Counsellor John Mitchell, Counsellor Liddell,
CorAvener Nelson, Mr. Hutchinson, &c. The following
resolutions were unanimously agreed to. The meeting,
after three cheers for Earl Grey, Lord Althorp, and the
Lord Advocate, separated.
Ist. That this meeting have learned with the deepest
regret, that Earl Grey and Lord Althorp have tendered
their resignations.
" 2d. That the policy of the Administration under Earl
Grey has been such as to command the confidence and ap-
probation of the nation. That no Administration founded
on principles less liberal can carry on the Government with
advantage to the country and satisfaction to the people.
And that any change of such policy will endanger the
safety of the empire, and have a tendency to shake that
confidence which happily exists, and is so essential to its
prosperity.

" Th o'c a humble address to his Majesty, founded on
these resolutions, be prepared and immediately forwarded."

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JULY 12.—The health of our army has mani-
festly improved for some days past--the number of soldiers
suffering from opthalmia is diminished ; of 180 men who were
in the hospital at Antwerp, labouring under that disorder, only
37 now remain there.

M. Gendebien, member of the Chamber of Deputies, is
seriously ill. lie was rather better this morning.
A courier who arrived here from London yesterday brought
the important news that the Grey administration had tendered
its resignation. This news caused some sensation on our ex-
change. Stocks in general fell.
The vessel which is to bring from England the rails, &c.
for the road, from Brussels to Malines, is expected in a
few days.

The Courrier Beige says—" The English papers of Wed-
nesday evening, which are expected with impatience, as we
hoped they would give important information respecting
the resignation of Lord Grey's administration, alluded
to in the journals of Tuesday evening, and the Times of Wed-
nesday, have not come to hand, at least have not been deli-
vered this morning ; but a person of distinction, who left
London on Wednesday evening, says it was generally reported
that Lord Grey had declared that all the Ministers had resigned.
The non-arrival of the English papers is most extraordi-
nary; perhaps the B6gian Government may have some con-
cern in it. Yesterday evening it received despatches from
M. 'S de Weyer. Despatches were also received by Sir
Robe .t Adair. This event is so important, and must have
such great influence on the affairs of Europe, that we cannot
but wish most earnestly to be enabled shortly to learn the real
cause of the retirement of the Grey Administration.
The debate on the corn laws was continued yesterday in the
Cha-.nber of Representatives.—Brussels Papers, July 13..
GOTTINGEN, JULY 3.—On the 29th and 30th of last month
many serious affrays took place in the neighbouring village of
Bovenden, between some peasants and students. On the first
of those days a trifling dispute with a student gave occasion
for the peasants most shamefully to illtreat all the students
present at a shooting match, and a public house in which the
latter took refuge was half destroyed. On the following day
the authorities of the University took steps to prevent the stu-
dents from seeking revenge, and sent persons to watch those
(about 50 in number) who went to Bovenden. The magis-
trates of that place seemed to have done nothing to prevent a
new tumult, so that the peasants, as soon as the brandy began
to take effect, beat the drum, and attacked with hedge-stakes,
pitchforks, &c., the students who were dancing and singing, and
-nobody interposing, did not rest till all the students were either
knocked down or had fled. The officers of the University were
ill treated as well as the students. All the students concerned
were immediately called before the Tribunal of the Univer-
sity, to state their complaints, and hindered from taking steps
to revenge themselves. Five squadrons of cavalry have been
sent to Bovenden, where several persons have been arrested.
MEtNiNGEN' JULY 3.—Our Duke, who is sent to England
to accompany his sister the Queen, to the Continent, will
arrive with her on the 12th at the castle of Altenstein, near
Liebenstein. The Duchess Dowager, her Majesty's mother,
has already taken up her summer residence here. The reign-
ing Duchess is gone to Cassel to visit her mother the Electress
of Hesse, whence she will come to Altenstein. The Elec.
tress of Hesse and her eldest daughter, Princess Caroline,
sister to our Duchess, are also expected there. The presence
of the Queen of England will fill Liebenstein this season
with distinguished company.—Frankfort Papers, July 10.
