ST. PANCRAS.

A numerous and respectable meeting of the South-western
Parochial Committee of the above parish was last night held
at their rooms, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square : Mr. Dolley
in the Chair.

Mr. TARR proposed the following motion :—" That this
Committee highly approve of the conduct of the vestry in call-
ing a public meeting on the present state of political affairs."
He thought the present was a favourable opportunity for the
people to make a declaration of their rights. —( Hear.) If lost,
it might be attended with very lamentable results—(Hear)—
and they might remain bound down for another quarter of a
century to the domination of the Tories. If they did not now
besti,f4themselves, it would for ever be a mark of disgrace to
them.( Hear. )
Mr RENTLE seconded the motion.
. Mr. BURSILL thought this a very anxious moment, and that,
if the people did not exert themselves to the utmost, they
would be obliged to be still for many years.--( Hear, hear.)
He was sorry to see the Times and Morning Herald stating
that the country did not care anything about the present poli-
tical condition of the country. The contrary was manifest in
all parts.—( Hear.)
Mr. BUTLER was aware that the Whigs had not done all
they perhaps might have done; still the country was indebted
to them.—(Hear, hear.) He need scarcely ask them whether
they would have had the Reform Bill, but for the Whigs ?
( Hear.) Would the Tories have given such a measure to the
country ?—( Cries of " No, no.) They should recollect that
the Whigs had much to contend against (Hear) ; that
heaven and earth, to use a common phrase, had been moved
against them. He did think they were much indebted to the
Whigs.
Mr. WILLIS (a vestryman of the parish) found fault with
the late Administration, but no rational man could expect any
thing liberal from the Duke of Wellington.—( Hear. )
Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Newberry, and Mr. Cooke, spoke to the
same effect.

Mr. CLYDE would not take upon himself to justify every
act of the Whigs ; but, if they had not performed all that was
expected from them, it was, in his opinion, in consequence
of the opposition against them by the Tories. The Whigs had
desired to carry a reform in the Church, and he could not but
believe that such desire was, in a great measure, the cause of
their abrupt dismissal.—( Hear, hear.)
The motion was then put, and carried with one dissentient
only. It was then determined that the resolution should be
forwarded to the vestry.
The meeting did not break up until twelve o'clock.

STATE OF PUBLIC OPINION

BIRMINGHAM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In a public room in this town, where a numerous and
respectable company of Whigs, Tories, and Radicals
meet, a gentleman observed that he had received the Times
newspaper from London, if the company wished to hear it.
He was immediately desired to produce it, when it was unani-
mously declared that the infamous paper should be burned,
which was carried into effect, amidst Immense cheering, and
a determined resolution to read it no more. Had the gen-
tleman refused to surrender the paper, preparations were making
to expel him.—l am, Sir, a constant reader,

NORWICH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Szs,--On Thursday evening last the meeting of a common
club (which has been magnified by our papers into a " Great
Conservative Meeting") was held at the Maid's Head Inn, in
this City, for the purpose of considering what steps should be
taken by the Tory party, in the event of a dissolution of
Parliament.

It is, Sir, notorious throughout England, that at the last
election for this City, Sir James Scarlett and Lord Stormont
gained their majority by the most open and unblushing bribery,
and that the Tories know well, that if the citizens of Norwich
are left to the free exercise of their franchise, Tory or. Conser-
vative candidates have not the least chance of success.
The leading individuals who attended the above meeting
of the club are members of our worse than rotten corpora-
tion, and they could not separate without voting an address
to his Majesty, expressing their satisfaction at the dismissal
of his Ministers.

I need not say, Sir, that the citizens at large are dis-
gusted with this document, and will shew these Tories, should
a dissolution of Parliament take place, that they are quite
alive to the real danger that must arise from a Tory Govern-
ment ; and rest assured, Sir, that the citizens will return
two members in the Reform interest by an immense ma
jority, if they are called upon to exercise their unboug
suffrages. —Your's,
Nov. 21.

A CITIZEN.

The most perfect unanimity prevails amongst all classes of Re-
formers throughout the kingdom. From Kent, Devon, Somerset-
shire, Gloucestershire, Dorsetshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Derby-
shire, Notts, and in short almost all the counties in England, we
have the strongest assurances that the metropolis does not stafid
alone in the indignation and disgust with which it views the Tory
intrigue.
In Scotland and Ireland we have also various accounts that the
best possible feeling prevails. All minor differences are laid aside,
and the nation stands united as one man. The Reformers in all
parts are wisely and busily preparing for a dissolution. In
MANCHESTER
- - -

A meeting was held on Thursday, for the purpose of framing a
requisition to Mr. Poulett Thomson, to allow himself to be put in
nomination. The requisition was agreed to, drawn up, signed, and
forwarded immediately.
Our Correspondent says that a requisition is now in the course
of signature, addressed to our Boroughreeve, reqUesting him to
call a public meeting of the inhabitants of Manchester and its
vicinity, for the purpose of addressing the King on the present
aspect of public affairs. The result as to whether our head muni-
cipal officer will comply, cannot be expected to be made known
before Saturday next. The excitement among the Whigs it is
impossible to describe.
We draw particular attention to the following communication
from an intelligent Correspondent

LIVERPOOL.
(From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.)
THURSDAY EVENING.-The abrupt and unexpected dismissal
from office of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues, which was first
made known here on the morning of Sunday last, through the
medium of the Mornigsg ij'hronicle, has excited in this town and
neighbourhood the same feelings o 'astonishment and indignation
which appear to be general all over the kingdom. People opened
their eyes in absolute amazement, disposed almost to doubt the
evidence of their senses. The public mind perhaps never received
a shock so general, sudden, and alarming. While many looked
forward to the approaching meeting of Parliament with feelings of
anxious expectation that the Administration of Lord Melbourne
would deal with " recognised abuses" in a manner at once firm,
decided, and peremptory, the news of the dismissal of that states-
man, who was generally supposed to stand high in the estimation of
the Sovereign, and the dissolution of his Administration, as well
as the subsequent appointment of the " Duke" to the post of Pre-
mier' filled men of every shade of political opinions with wonder.
The Tories were as much astonished as the Whigs. Every one
