After thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated.

The following were the resolutions and address :
" Ist. That this meeting having heard with the deepest re-
gret that his Majesty has dismissed his late Ministers, and is
about to call to his Councils men who have ever been inimical
to liberal opinions, and in whom the public, from their past
political conduct, can have no confidence.
" 2d. That this meeting are convinced that no Government
Can carry on the affairs of this nation with advantage, unless
it is composed of those persons whose previous conduct is an
assurance of their determination to root out all abuses, and
thus insure the safety of the country by the extension of libe-
ral measures---and that thus' feeling, they deeply deplore that
any circumstances should have arisen to deprive the nation of
the valuable services of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues.
" 3d. That this Meeting beg to express to Lord Melbourne
and the other of his Majesty's late Ministers, their deep 'regret
at their ceasing to guide the Councils of the nation.
" 4th. ::hat the following Address be presented to his
Majesty, and that Earl Spencer be requested to present tho
same, 2 c the earliest possible period :
We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Inhabi-
tants of the Burgh of Leith, convened under the authority of the
Chief Mie.giArate, have heard with pain and regret that your Ma-
jesty has thought proper, without any apparent reason, to dismiss
your la'ce Ministers. As members of a commercial community, we
beg ..1) assure your Majesty, that such sudden and unexpected
eh awes have a very powerful effect on the best interests of the
‘:lor9Tunity ; and Om are also convinced, that never were men

placed around your Throne who possessed the affections and confi-
dence of the country as they did.
46 4 It is attributed to your Majesty, that you are about to call to
your Councils men who never did and never can possess, the confi-
dence of the great majority of your Majesty's subjects—a step
which your petitioners have nu hesitation in stating to your Majesty
is fraught with the most dangerous evils. To avert which, they
humbly pray that your Majesty will immediately recall to your
Councils your old and faithful Servants, and for which, as in duty
bound, your petitioners will ever pray.' •
" sth. That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the
Chairman, for his conduct in the chair."

DEVONPORT.
(From the Devonport Telegraph.)
A most important crisis is at length arrived. The Re-
form Ministry is dissolved—the Duke of Wellington has
returned to power. The greatest anxiety prevails through-
out the country to learn the probable issue of changes so
momentuous and so deeply affectino. the Public tranquillity.
The people are everywhere alarmed'at the prospect of, being
deprived of those political benefits which they fOralY pro-
mised themselves from the Reform Bill.

-NEWCASTLE.
(From the Newcastle Chronicle.)
By a reference to the. London intelligence in the last
page, it will be seen that his Majesty has dismissed his
Ministers most suddenly, and apparently most eagerly ;
that be immediately sent for the Duke of 'Wellington, that
his Grace instantly accepted the charge of forming a new
Administration, and that he is now actually Prime Minister-
of England ! This astounding intelligence took the public
completely by surprise,. and excited everywhere the most
intense interest. But these were not the only feelings called
into action. Deep was the indignation felt at the' success-
ful issue of a Court intrigue, evidently of long standir g
and the prospect of again being delivered over to the ere-
mies of Reform, and of having all our hopes of furtherim-
provement thus attempted to be crushed, roused a spirit of
resistance which has manifested itself in various meetings,
and which must prove a source of embarrassment, if not of
discomfiture, to this new and non-reforming Government.
If successful now, a re-action must at no distant period
take place, and dreadful will be the recoil on the advisers
and abettors of this most rash of all actions. Great, and
in our opinion well founded doubts, are entertained of Sir
Robert Peel joining the new Ministry,

STAMFORD.
( From the Stamford News.)
There seems to be an unanimous feeling throughout the
country against Tory rule, and accordingly we find all the
large towns and metropolitan parishes convening meetings
condemnatory of an anti-reform policy. The speeches, too,
are every where of a Radical caste ; there is no ambiguity in
the sentiments uttered; indeed, everything tends to show that
we are in the midst of a great and alarming crisis. We wish
to excite no unnecessary alarm ; but we are sincere in declar-
ing, that if the Duke of Wellington is suffered to pursue his
head-strong crusade against the measures of the Reformers, a
resort to physical force must inevitably be the result. We do
not stand alone in these sentiments : they have been partici-
pated in publicly at meetings in different parts of the country;
and we maintain that they are warranted by present appearances.

TRURO.
(From the West Briton.)
An extraordinary event—one for which the public mind
was wholly unprepared, but which is big with matter of in-
calculable moment, not only to this great country, but to
Europe and the whole civilized world—has been announced
since our last publication. William the Fourth—the So-
vereign who called Earl Grey to his counsels, and who
sanctioned the Reform Bill—that same Royal Personage
has suddenly and without previous intimation of.his inten-
tion, 'dismissed the Reforming Administration of Lord Mel-
bourne, and has placed the reins of governme.rit in the
hands of the Duke of Wellington, the pledged opponent of
all Reform ; the man who declared that in his view, the
late Lcough system, with all its accompanying and'insepa-
rable abominations, was the most perfect specimen of legis-
lative wisdom the world ever saw ! !—such is the fact.
The die is cast ; and cast with a haste that proves it to
have been the resolve of him who staked on the throw more
than we shall now stop to mention, to prevent all attempt
at moving him from his purpose, by representation or re-
monstrance ; by an expression of the feelings which animate
the great body of the people. In the great struggle on
which we are entered, England expects every Reformer
will do his.duty.

ABERDEEN.
(From the Aberdeen Herald.)
The Conservatives are now coming into office under
every possible disadvantage. The Whigs have not now as
on former occasions, resigned, and left the King to fill up
their vacant places as he might. They have been turned
out—and how, and under what circumstances ? In the
most unusual and uncourteous manner, without a shadow
of reason, and at a time when the Ministry, having been
purged of its late dissentients, held out to the country the
most rational hope and expectation of bringing into
operation the intent of the Reform Bill, and of reaping
a large harvest of its fruits. But this was exactly the
reason why the Conservatives determined to strike the
blow. It was to arrest the eagle in its flight before it
could seize upon its prey—to stop the progress of Reform
before it could reach
,the mass of corruption which was
marked for its unsparing work during next Session. The
King has been made to believe that the Reform Minis-
ters had become unpopular on account of their " reck-
less schemes of innovation ;" whereas they only suffered
in public opinion because they attempted conciliation to-
wards an implacable foe—because they did not use sufficient
firmness and decision in dealing with acknowledged abuses.
But what is now the remedy proposed? To put at the
• -lm the. most inveterate opponents of Reform—men them-
seim; pledged by their former acts and words to oppose it,
ande
enemies! borne
into office upon the shoulders of its bitterest
Ir,,e do not believe that the Conservative Minis-
tryen will ever meet: Parliament. If the nation be true to
itself, the King will, Jong before that time, be undeceived,
and the Tories be driven 1.-orn the helm of the State.

CORA.
(From the Cork Southerg ~r,trporter.)
Is it necessary to impress upon " the People," here and
elsewhere, the imperative necessity which exists for; making
such a demonstration, in the course of the next fortnight,
as will convince tho " Sovereign" and his " Agent," that
whatever may be their " benevolent and patriotic viewePf
Government, the people and the people's representatives
will give no support to the party who opposed the Reform
Bill ; threw out in the Lords the Dissenters' Bill, and many
other just mettores which had pasied the Commons ; who
resisted all reforms, And above all, and beyond all, who did
whatever lay in their power to entail upon Ireland a ,con-
tinuance of the Coercion 13:11i and all the miseries of the
tithe system. If ever there was a time when an expression
of public opinion was called for of damning condemnation
upon that crime-laden faction, it is the present, and we call
again and again upon the people of this country to join in
it, with all the ardour which a recollection of what it has
suffered for ages under its arch-enemy ought to inspire. Let
but the people do their duty, and before a month the agency
of the Duke is at an end.

NORTHAMPTON.
(From the Northampton Free Press.)
We can scarcely call the intelligence we are about to im-
press upon our columns an announcement ; for it has struck
through the country with the suddenness of electricity, per-
vading at once the crowded city, and reaching the remotest
hamlet. The Reform Ministry is no more ! What ! it will
be asked, have the compatriots of Grey shrunk from encoun-
tering- the difficulties against which they had to contend in
the House of Lords? Or, content with the good they have
effected in the passing of the Reform Bill, have they sought
honourable retirement, leaving to others the working out
that great measure by the reform of ecclesiastical and cor-
poration alnises ? , Oh, no. His Majesty has been most
graciously pleased to dismiss them. "Yes, the King has
cast slight upon those men who surrounded his throne with
a degree of glory never before possessed by any predecessor
of leis
THE TIMES.—We have given in other portions of. our
Paper copious details of the effect the dissolution of:the
Government has had on the public mind, as well as t*
light it is regarded in by the conductors of the liberal por-
tion of The Press. Our readers will not be surprised to
learn that the Times has ranged itself under the standard
of the Puke of Wellington, when it is borne in mind the
unceasing, and unjust as unceasing, attacks it has of late
made on Lord Brougliato. But the power of the Times
will pass away with its desertion of the right cause. Its
sophistry may henceforth excite wonder by its subtility, and
sometimes merriment by its broadnoss ; but the talisman is
broken. Despite of the satire and abuse of the Times,
district meetings are being held in every quarter of the
metropolis, on the important crisis ; indeed so numerous are
they, that we have not space to make particulas mention of
them, suffice it to say, that the event has occasioned a par-
tial suspension of business, and it will be well if , a disturb-
ance of the public peace be not occasioned in the.rnanufac-
turing districts, where industry has just found per,manent
etnployment, and the condition of the working Inau had
much improved.

About one o'clock on Saturday morning, toe griev e
at Culduthell discovered a fire in the centre of his master's
stack-yard. He immediately began to separate the stacks.by
throwing down those on fire, in order to secure the remainder,
but no less than twenty-three were completely burnt ere the
flames could be extinguished. Each
_stack was calculated. to
contain abeut twenty bolls of grain, so that the loss has been
very considerable. A precognition is at present going on,
and there appears strong reasons for believing that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. A meeting of the commiE-
isioners takes place to-morrow on the subject, and we hope a
proper reward will be offered for the apprehension of the
-incendiary. Deeds of this kind are—fortunately almost un-
