PUBLIC MEETING TO ADDRESS HIS MAJESTY.
At half-past twelve o'clock to-day a public meeting of
the inhabitants of Berwick, Tweedmouth, and Spittle, was
held pursuant to a requisition signed by about ninety
householders, to take into consideration the propriety of
addressing his. Majesty at the present alarming crisis. On
the motion of Mr. R. Weatberhead, J. B. Orde, Esq., of
Longridge, was called to the chair. The Chairman having
read the requisition, briefly noticed the objects of the meet-
ing, and recommended temperance in any discussion that
might arise. The first resolution was then moved in a
long and eloquent speech by Mr. Heron, and seconded. by
Mr. Turner, who shortly called upon the meeting to bear
in mind what the Tories had done for the country. John
Mackay Wilson, in a speech of considerable length, moved
the address, which was seconded by Mr. R. Home, solicitor.
The other resolutions were moved and seconded by Messrs.
Whitelaw, Cunningham, C. Robson, and D. Sinclair. Tho
address and resolutions, which were unanimously and en-
thusiastically carried, will be found in our advertising
columns. At the present hour it is impossible for us to do
more than advert to the meeting, and next week we shall
give a report of it, with the speeches at length. Sir Francis
Blake, Bart., was present.--Berwick Advertiser of Saturday.

EDINBURGH.
A special meeting of the Edinburgh Merchant Company,
called by requisition, to address his Majesty on the present
crisis, was held on Tuesday. Mr. W. Galloway, after a
few prefatory remarks, moved a series of resolutions, ex-
pressing the Company's regret that his Majessy should have
withdrawn his confidence from Ministers who were the
friends of reform, and have confided the destinies of the
-nation to the Duke of Wellington, who is the declaredi
enemy of all reform, and the abetter of a system of foreign
and domestic policy which had plunged the nation into dif-
ficulties almost insurmountable. The resolutions were se-
conded by Mr. A. Millar.

The Scotch journals received yesterday are filled with
reports of meetings to address his Majesty against the re-
cent change in his councils, from the Gorbals of Glasgow,
