MAIDSTONE.

On Friday evening a public meeting was held in the large room
of the Star Inn in this town, called together by handbills, which
declared its object to be that of giving the reformers of Maidstone
and its vicinity an opportunity of expressing their sentiments on
this important occasion. About 600 persons, comprising some of
the most influential inhabitants of the town, attended, and unani-
mously voted, among other excellent resolutions, the following :
" That this meeting cannot place the slightest confidence in any
Ministry formed by the Duke of Wellington, nor in any promises of
reform that may emanate from such Ministry ; as they cannot but
believe that the delay which has already taken place in the reforma-
tion of abuses, has been caused by the unceasing machinations of
the Tory party, to whose intrigues, they believe, may also be at-
tributed the dissolution of the late Ministry."

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.
The news of the great change in his Majesty's Councils, the un-
ceremonious dismissal of the late Cabinet, and the appointment of
the great Captain of the age to rule the destinies of a free people,
caused great sensation in this borough. The Committee a! the
Friends of Reform immediately met, and appointed Thursday for a
general public meeting, to be held at the large room, at the G.-een
Dragon Hotel. At the time fixed, the large room of the h otel
was crowded with the electors of borough and their friends
Charles Day, Esq., was called to the chair, and the meeting was
addressed by several gentlemen present., in a most able and,

maieci ;t.ul! An unanimous feeling of surprise and alarm was ex-
pressed it the C:4. r.7.2r
dmary change in his Majesty's councils, which
every individual present :AP4ldered as intended to stop the progress
of reform in Church and State, .74" h the liberties of the people,
and defeat their wish to secure a good Go7rnment'

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

At the sittings of the Court this morning Baron Sir Jonx
VAUGHAN was sworn in one of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy
Council.

MARTIN V. COLMAN.

The Cot= gave judgment in this case. It was an action by
the out-going tenant against the landlord for compensation for seed
left in the ground and manure, which the defendant had appropri-
ated to his own use, tried at York before Mr. Justice TAUNTON.
Lord DENMAN now said the Court did not consider that this
case was sufficient ground for a nonsuit.—Rule discharged.
AYRE V. CRAVEN.
This was an action of slander. The plaintiff was a physician, re-
siding at Hull, and the slanderous words imputed to the defendant
were, that he had charged the plaintiff with having had criminal
conversation with a married lady residing in that neighbourhood.
The COURT now gave judgment. It was contended in the
present case that the words having been laid as spoken of the plain-
tiff as a Physieian, it was injurious to him in his professional cha-
racter. If this view was correct, then the judgment ought not to
be arrested, but the Court thinks that the declaration ought not
only to be set out that such conduct was imputed to the plaintiff in
his professional character, and for this defect we think the judgment
must be arrested.

LORD DURHAM.—We are glad to see that RIDG-
WAY has reprinted Lord Durham's excellent Speech
at the Newcastle Dinner at a very cheap rate for dis-
tribution. This Speech will, and ought to be, the
watch-word of all true Reformers.

TAE KING U. BANBURY.

A mandamus had been moved for a few days since, calling
upon Mr. Banbury to take upon himself the office of Cham-
berlain to the City of Coventry, to which he had been duly
elected. Mr. Banbury had refused to serve the office, and
sent notice to the Mayor to that effect. By the bye-laws of
the Corporation any person elected to that office is liable to a
penalty of 201. for refusing to take upon himself the office ;
and notwithstanding this fine he is not excused. Mr. Banbury
had not paid the fine, and the Corporation were most desirous
to have that gentlemen's services.
Mr. HILL now moved for a rule to stay proceedings, in order
that the books of the Corporation might be inspected, that
the origin and validity of this, bye-law may be ascertained.
The Town Clerk had refused the inspecti ni of the Corpora-
tion books.—Rule granted.

LEEDS.

On Wednesday a great number of the friends of Reform assem-
bled at the Exchange Hotel, at a few hours' notice, to take into
consideration the propriety of presenting an address to his Majesty
on the state of public affairs. An enthusiastic spirit manifested
itself on the occasion, and, after mature deliberation, it was deter-
mined to present a requisition to the Mayor, requesting him to call
a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough, to consider of the pro-
priety of presenting an address to the King, on the subject of the
change of Ministers. The requisition was signed, in the course of a
few hours, by between five and six hundred most respectable indivi-
duals, each one affixing his place of residence. The Mayor, how-
ever (Griffith Wright, Esq.), declined to comply with the demand
of the requisitionists, on the ground of the object of the meeting
being a direct interference with the Royal prerogative. The requi-
sitors then determined to call a meeting for the purposes men-
tioned in the requisition. It is to be held this day in the large room
of the Commercial Buildings.

same time 2,642: ditto this year, 781,989. Stock 12,000,
against 236,210 same time last year. This state of things,
coupled with the accounts from the south of the injury the
crop has received from frost, &c., which will retard its pro-
gress here, has naturally excited speculators. To-day we
have been in a complete fever. The salss are fully 10,000
bales, and prices are up id. a id. Speculators have taken

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LOVELACE.

This information arose out of a very singular bequest in the
will of a merchant of the name of Lovelace, who died at Ma-
laga, in Spain. This gentleman appointed two friends, of
the name of Ward, in London`,Aepositaries of all his property,
which he directed to be invested in the British funds ; and
after a bequest of an annuity of 100 guineas, he directed his
trustees to use their endeavour to apply the proceeds of the
remainder of his property towards the proper education and
maintenance of all such poor youths as should be related to
him, and towards that of those who should be in indigent cir-
cumstances, it being his intention that the necessitous should
be relieved ; and should any poor female relative of his hap-
pen to marry, and there was an excess of income, that there
should be 501. or 100/. given to her according to her neces-
sities ; but that must be without interfering with the education
of the youths, as in such case the same should be withheld
until the funds should have produced a sufficient income for
tht3 purpose. He then directed a loan from the capital not
exceeding 5001. at a time for the advancement of any youth.
By the Master's report it was ascertained there were six next
of kin and thirty relations of the testator interested in the will.
All these persons having been made parties to the suit, the
cause now came on to receive the further direction of the
Court.
Sir WILLIAM HORNE (with Mr. LYNCH), for the Crown,
contended that this was a charitable bequest.
Sir EDWARD SUDDEN, for the next of kin, said it would be
singular if a gift to relations should be confined to persons
within the statute of distributions, and a gift to poor relations
should be extended beyond that class.
His HONOUR observed, that where a testator means a dis-
tribution, to all times, of a fund of an eleemosynary nature
to an extensive class of a particular description, there is cha-
rity. A reference to the Master was directed, to approve of
a scheme for the management of the charity.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 22.

THE KING V. HALLS AND MINSIIVI.L.

Sir J. SCARLETT applied to the Court for a rule to show
cause why a mandamus should not be issued, commanding
the defendants, two Magistrates of the county of Middlesex,
to issue warrants of distress against the goods of certain in-
habitants of St. Martin's parish. It would be in the recol-
lection of the Court, that there had lately been several trials
as to, the validity of the select vestry system in this parish,
and that the verdict in the last case was against the exist-
ence of the select vestry.—Rule granted.

WAKEFIELD.

In this town the sudden dismissal of Ministers produced great
astonishment. The news was the general, indeed the only, topic of
conversation, and an election being considered inevitable, com-
mittees were formed by both parties, and the first bill that was
posted was one by the Blues, calling upon the electors to reserve
their votes as a candidate of liberal principles, and a friend to real
Reform, would be brought forward to them ! A deputation was
sent to solicitor Mr. Wortley to come forward and offer himself for
the borough, but that gentleman being in London, a letter was
addressed to him on the subject, which has not yet been answered.
The friends of Daniel Gaskell, Esq., the present liberal member,
also posted a bill, calling upon the electors to reserve their votes for
him, as a tried and consistent man of independent principles, who
was willing to serve them again, provided he was returned in the
same manner as at the last election.
London, England, 1834-11-24

ROCHDALE.

Some of the active friends of reform have formed themselves
into a committee, for the purpose of aiding in every way the cause
of liberal government, and of ejecting the Tories from office.

MANCHESTER.

In this vast and important district the news of the dismissal of
the Ministry has created the greatest possible sensation. The
people, however, are nothing daunted, though greatly indignant.
A requisition, signed in a very short period of time, by 400 of the
most substantial inhabitants of this town, was presented to the con-
stituted authorities, requesting them to convene a public meeting as
speedily as possible, for the purpose of addressing the King on the
prosent critical state of public affairs. The constables of Manches-
ter, in reply to this, say—
" We do not perceive anything in the present state of public
affairs which would justify us in calling a public meeting of the in-
habitants of Manchester. We hope it will be understood that, in
declining to comply with the requisition, we have the most respect-
ful feeling for the gentlenten by whom it was signed ; and that
the conclusion which we adopt arises solely from the consideration
that the subject is not such as would warrant our interference. The
absence of the boroughreeve from Manchester prevents our having
an opportunity of conferring with him on this occasion."
Immediately on the receipt of this strange answer, a general
meeting of the requisitionists, convened by circular, was held, at
which it was unanimously resolved—
" That a public meeting will be held on Thursday, the 27th
instant, at eleven o'clock in the forencon, at the Manor Court
Room, for the purpose stated in the requisition."
The meeting, it is understood, will be most numerously attended,
and the resolutions to be proposed will be of a most plain and in-
telligible character.
London, England, 1834-11-24

FALMOUTH.

There has been 'a spirited meeting at this place, at which it way
resolved by acclamation, to wage determined war with the Wel-
lington clique.

BLA CKB URN.

A correspondent at this town says---" With regard to an elec-
tion we are fully prepared, and have long been so, to meet our op-
ponents any moment. We have done nothing here as yet, as we
arc anxious to hear what steps are taken by Manchester, Leeds,
; but you may rely upon it, Blackburn will not be backward on
an occasion like this. The greatest astonishment has been excited
here by the extraordinary conduct of his Majesty. The reformers,
to a man, feel the greatest indignation, and they will doubtless act
with promptitude and vigour.

to the Administration—they had had enough of such names
applied to them of late--(a laugh) ; they had been charac-
terized as a " thimble-rigging " Government.—(Laughter.)
He would not repeat the description ; but he must say, with
reference to the proceeding of Wednesday evening, that there
never had been witnessed a more complete cross.--( Loud
laughter.) The effect of the measure, as it now stood, would
be to bring landlord and tenant into collision.
The clauses were then struck out.

Mr. Shaw, Lord Althorp, and Mr. Sheil.

Mr. Secretary LITTLETON next moved that the
clauses from 132 to 144 inclusive be struck out.—( A laugh.)

171, and 172 were agreed to.
Mr. Secretary LITTLETON then brought up several
new clauses, which were added to the Bill in consequence of
the omission of the redemption and appropriation clauses, and
the increase of the bonus from 15 to 40 per cent.
Several clauses having been postponed, the Chairman re
ported progress, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow,

THE FUNDS.

The Express from Paris this morning is also of some im-
portance as relates to the affairs of Spain. The telegraphic
despatch from Bayonne announces that the Cortes had met on
the 24th inst. and were opened by the Queen in person, and
we are assured that the contents of the speech is in town, but
not made public as yet. We have a report that the financial
measures of Spain have been put off until the first week of
October.

With respect to the contending armies of Spain, if we can
believe the telegraphic dispatch, 'Don Carlos has been obliged
to retreat within a very few miles of the French frontiers, to
Lesain, and Zumalacarraguy was on the 23d at Chalina,
watched by Rodil. Important events are hourly expected
from that quarter.
With the exception of the Lisbon mail, and express from
Paris, we have no other arrivals. The meeting of the Cortes
on the 24th inst., which was known yesterday, caused a con-
siderable improvement in the Spanish Bonds, which left off at
48 ; and the confirmation of the above event this morning raised
them to 49, since which they have receded to 484. Portu-
guese was done at 87 ; they have also receded to 861 1. The
Consol Market is very heavy ; Consols, which left of yester-
day at 90-,T for the Account, have been done at 901. -
The information received of several Russian ships of war,
with troops on board, having entered the port of Susebali, and
others of the Asiatic coast, has had some effect on the Market.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Two important State documents are now looked for every
hour : the first is the Queen of Spain's speech, which is in
town, though not made public as yet ' • the second is the King
of the French's, on the opening of the Chambers, which is
expected this evening ; but the chief contents are known. It
is of a very pacific description, and strongly relates to the af-
fairs of Spain. The King is determined to abide by the Qua-
druple Alliance, and assist Spain in case of need.
Spanish Stock is not so good as in the early part of the
morning, when it was done at 49; at present it is 48. Por-
tuguese Stock has also receded from 87 to 86+ 1. Don Pedro
has republished his Proclamation on his landing at Oporto,
which has been posted up in all the streets at Lisbon.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT—WiRwIcr, Jura- 30.

The commission was opened here this morning. After at-
tending divine service in the cathedral, the Judges proceeded
to take their seats in their respective Courts, Mr. Justice
TAUNTON presiding in the Crown, and Mr. Justice PARK in
the Civil Court. The Calendar contains the names of 78
prisoners. Of these, two are charged with arson, and one with
murder. Almost every variety of offence may be found attached
to the names of the remainder.

On the civil side there are twenty causes on the list, so that
there is enough of business to furnish agreeable occupation to
the gentlemen of the long robe, after the almost uniform lei-
sure they have enjoyed, at all the other towns on the Circuit.
Richard Falford, aged 21, was indicted for having feloni-
ously stolen one sheep, the property of Charles Hughes the
younger.
The evidence against the prisoner amounted to this—that
he was seen to go to the place where the remains of the sheep
were concealed, and carry some of it away, as if it was his own
property.
In his defence he called his nephew, a boy 11 years of age,
who swore that on the night specified in the indictment, the
prisoner had slept with him, and had not left his bed until
after seven o'clock.

--
-;-The jury, however, disbelieved his story, and returned a
verdict of Guilty.

Mr. Justice Tat wroN concurred in the propriety of the con-
viction, and sentenced the prisoner to transportation for life.

CLARK V. STOCKER.
This was an action brought to recover five pounds, as com-
pensation for damages done to the plaintiff's gig and horse by
the defendants, Alexander and William Stocker, of Birming-
ham. On the 12th of September last the defendants went to
the establishment of the plaintiff, who keeps a livery stable in
the town of Birmingham, and hired a gig and horse to take
them to Darlaston, a distance of ten miles. On their return,
in the evening, the plaintiff discovered that the shafts and
splinter-bar of his gig had been broken, and that his horse
had been injured by excessive driving, and by some external
violence. On observing this, he said to the defendants, " Yon
have broken my gig, and if you are gentlemen, you will pay
for the damage you have done." To which they replied,
We have had en accident, and certainly we shell make it

KING'S THEATRE.

Last night was repeated BELLINI'S Opera La Sonnambula,
and, the performers having by repetition become perfect in the
music, it went off with much better effect than on any previous
occasion. It is impossible to describe the numberless excel-
lencies which are visible in the execution of GRISI and RUBINI.
These accomplished singers appear to exert themselves
more, and to sing with more expression, than they did in any
Opera previously produced. Nothing that the latter has at-
tempted in vocalization can equal the exquisite finish of his
performance in La Sonnambula, and the prima donna has
created a fame for herself which will be of lasting duration.
An announcement with regard to the ballet of the Sylphide,
which was advertised for performance, was made public before
the commencement of the opera, stating that Mademoiselle
Taglioni had been seized with indisposition, and was prevented
from appearing that evening, consequently the first act of
Masaniello was performed, and the theatre closed at an earlier
hour than usual.

The Earl of RADNOR in presenting a petition from Cam-
bridge, stating that great inconvenience had been exrienced in

Chancellor of that University, if the statements in the petition
were correct, and whether persons of any denomination were
admitted to that University.
The Duke of GLOUCESTER stated that he was not
aware that Dissenters were.ackaitted, if they were, they were

DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, JuLy_27.—Public attention has been for sonic
time fixed on the nature of the negotiations at Biberich, and
of the resolution to be taken, or already taken, by our Govern-
ment. It is affirmed that it has been intimated on the part of
the Government, that its not acceding to the stipulations re-
specting the territory laid down in the treaty of the 15th of
November was chiefly to be ascribed to the apprehension that
the Prince of Nassau would make, during the progress of the
negociations, too extravagant demands for the protection of his
rights, which yet were not indisputable. However, Count
Van Reede is said at length to have signed in the name of his
Sovereign an arrangement with the Duke of Nassau, which
was to be ratified on our part. The regulation of this family
affair will hinder the districts of Limburg from being separated
from Holland. The renewal of the proceedings of the confe-
rence at London depends, as we are assured, on the entire
completion of these subordinate arrangements.
LILL°, JULY 24.—Yesterday morning his Excellency Vice-
Admiral Gobius and Captain Lucas arrived here on board the
Juno yacht. His Excellency inspected the two forts, and then
left us again.
From the continual parleying of our neighbours, we might
be inclined to believe something important is on the carpet.
The Bth Regiment of Infantry of the Line is now cantoned
in the village of Doel.
THE HAGUE, JULY 29.—This morning, at seven o'clock, his
Majesty set out for the Loo. He is expected back on Saturday,
and goes on Tuesday to the army.
The Stoats Courant of to-day contains, at full length, the
Royal Resolution by which an unlimited furlough is given to
the moveable schuttery. We had the pleasure on Sunday to
announce to our readers this Resolution, by which so many
wishes are accomplished, and so many expectations gratified.
AMSTERDAM, JULY 28.—Yesterday there arrived here five
Evangelical Clergymen from Prussia, with the intention of
going, some to Southern Africa and some to the island of
Borneo, to propagate the Christian religion.
It should seem, from several private letters, that the severe
storm of the 18th Which burst over the camp at Oirschot was
accompanied by d sort of whirlwind ; many tents were loosened
from their lines. One of the letters says that 600 tents were
so overturned, and the effects in them, after having been
whirled into the air, carried down the river, to the great injury
of many of the men, who lost their clothes and other effects.

BERLIN, JULY 24.—1 t is now determined that the review at
Konigsberg shall be at the beginning of September. That at
Stutgard at the end of that month. About that time the
Crown Prince and Princess are expected at Konigsberg ; it is
said that the Empress of. Russia will, perhaps, come to Ko-
nigsberg, and afterwards to Berlin, after the Emperor shall
have concluded the reviews at Wilna, and also honoured Ko-
nigsberg with a visit. Other accounts say that their Imperial
Majesties will go to Moscow, whence the Emperor will proceed
to the South of Russia.

Laipsio, JULY 19.—1 t is now certain that six private Bankers
and Merchants of Hamburg and Berlin have obtained per-
mission to form branch establishments here. The conditions
are not known, but are said to be advantageous to the city.
The number of families who settle in the neighbouring villages
is increasing ; they give up their residence in the city, because
rents are too high, but still keep counting-houses or shops. The
condition of the day labourers is improving, all in consequence
of the accession to the Prussian tariff, which was before so
much dreaded. Hitherto the brandy distillers have been the
only sufferers.

STOCKHOLM, JULY 22.—The arrival of the young Dutch
Prince from St. Petersburgh is delayed, as we learn, by the
great fkes celebrated in that capital on the occasion of ex-
posing to public view the column of Alexander, by taking
down the scaffolding, &c. It is said that an enormous :body
of troops is assembled about St. Petersburg on occasion of
the festivities, and we have heard that the Emperor is to re-
view 100,000 men. It is probable that this number is consi-
derably exaggerated.
llANthuitu, JULY 28.—We have letters from Chili as late as
the 14th of March and Ist of April,which do not say a syllable
of the dreadful destruction of St. Jago, the capital of Chili, by
an earthquake in the last half of January, of which some
Journals have given a pretty detailed account.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BatTssELs, Auo. 20.—The Court of Cassation has just
given a decision which assimilates foreigners to native sub-
jects with respect to serving in the militia. Messrs. Ch.
M. Brouckeri and Willmar, members of the Committee of
Belgian manufacturers, set out for Paris yesterday.
It being apprehended that some disturbances might take
place in the evening of the 18th. in consequence of- the re-
joicings of some of the working classes, on the acquittal of all
the prisoners accused of the riots at Brussels, all the posts
of our garrison were doubled, the troops passed the night
with their knapsacks on their backs, and the cavalry ready
to march. The gendarmes as well as the troops of the line
sent out patroles during the whole night. The most per-
fect tranquillity prevailed every where.—Eclair.
Last night, as well as the preceding, all the troops of
the garrison were under arms, numerous' patrols of the
troops of the line and gendarmes traversed the streets;
the commissioners of police had their head-quarters at the
Town Hall.

Towards ten o'clock at night, several groups had collected
in the Ruc d'Etoile, near the Grand Place, but they were
immediately dispersed. All the public houses in that street
were crowded. Tranquillity was nowhere interrupted. Se-
veral young men had gone to meet some of the acquitted
prisoners, and gave them a dinner at Halle. In the evening
they all returned into the city in 17 carriages.
The Magistrates of Mons, fearing that the acquitted
might remain in the town the night before last, and in order
to make it more easy to suppress the disorder which they
supposed might ensue on their being set at liberty, had
hastened to place the lamps in all the streets, which is not
usually done till the Ist of September. Numerous patrols
were ordered, but these precautions were unnecessary. Im-
mediately en the delivery of the sentence, the accused, with
the exception of the first five, were conducted to Ninny,
where they received each a glass of beer, a pipe, tobacco,
and six francs. They then proceeded quietly to Brussels.
