STATE OF PUBLIC OPINION

AND
MOVEMENTS IN THE METROPOLIS.

The movement is still progressing. The steady deter-
mination evinced by the people has struck dismay into the
hearts of the Tories. The result of the meeting of the
Court of Common Council is truly encouraging ; for even
the lost amendment declares that reform must be carried
on in good faith. The Reformers of the metropolis are
girding up their loins for the ensuing week ; in the mean-
time accounts from Birmingham and Manchester are
anxiously looked for.
Mr. Joseph Hume has returned, and we feel great plea-
sure in publishing the following address :
" TO THE ELECTORS OF MIDDLESEX.
" Gentlemener-I find that, during my absence from England,
important and alarming changes have taken place in the state
of public affairs. The majority of my metropolitan colleagues
have published an address to their constituents, to which, had
I been present, lalsonld have given my willing assent.
" In so doing, however, I should more especially have agreed
with those amongst them who think that we have reason greatly
to complain of the undecided and timid policy which Ministers
adopted, after ovrying, the great measure of reform in Parlia-
ment; theteby Atarding those ameliorations it was calculated
to produce, anclOsappointing the just expectations of the
people, who had ee,e4bly supported them through the previous
struggle.
" By thieline of,evoluct, they, perhaps, deemed it possible
to noncilinte thos:i oan they ought--to have known to he,
irreconcgrable enemies; not perceiving that they were thereby
losing (or not caring to lose) the confidence of honest and
since friends. Again and again had they been warned by
myself and others, even at the risk of wounding the feelings of
men, with whom we were most anxious to co-operate, of the
inevitable consequences of such irresolute and mischievous po-
licy,—the result bears out our anticipations. The people
became comparatively indifferent—reaction was openly talked
of—the King, deceived as to the feelings of the nation, dis-
missed the Reform Ministry; and the Duke of Wellington is
the Dictator—the more than Prime Minister—of England,
amidst the acclamations and rejoicings of the advocates and
supporters of arbitrary Government, here, and throughout the
continent of Europe.
" I speak confidently as to this last point ; having just
witnessed the excitement and anxiety produced abroad, by the
news of this change of Ministry.
" We are, indeed, placed in an unprecedented situation
for ten days, the whole responsibility of every department of
the Government (save that of Lord Chancellor) has been
vested in one man. It may be ten—it may be twenty more
days, ere Sir Robert Peel, on whom, it seems our fate depends,
arrive, to say whether we have or have not an Administration 1 I
Had it pleased his Majesty to call to his councils Lord William
Bentinck, from India, instead of Sir Peel, from Italy, we
might have been kept in this situation for a year. If it be com-
petent to one man to hold all the offices of the State for one
week, why not for one year?
" I respect the prerogative of his Majesty, given for the be-
nefit of his 'Topic, calling to his councils whomsoever he may
think proper; but I ask, is the present a state of things that
should continue without remoi:.
strance on our part ? Should we
not present humble and dutiful liet;:jonto his Majesty (whose
sincere regard for the true interests of in:
neople has been too
strongly proved, by his grant of Reform, tofor a moment
doubted), that he will be graciously pleased to a;.7
emble. the
great council of the nation, in order to restore confide:2ce at
home and abroad ? Or, if it be supposed that the presen:
Parliament does not fairly represent the opinions of the nation,
let us intrcat him, by dissolving it at once, to appeal, as on a
former ocasion, to his people.
" That the Tories have obtained the confidence of the peo-
ple, I cannot for a moment believe. That the same men who
so powerfully struggled to obtain reform in Parliament, as a
means of securing good attd cheap Government, should now
expect to effect that great object through a party whose politi-
cal history, to this day, has been a series of extravagance, cor-
ruption, and oppression, is what I never will believe, until I
see a House of Commons returned in which that party shall
have a majority.
" To avert such a calamity will be the duty of the electors,
when called upon, as they must soon be, to protect, as well
their own, the rights and interests of that large majority of the
people who have, ES yet, no voice in the selection of repre-
sentatives.
" Let me, therefore, intreat all real Reformers to lay aside
their minor differences, and combine their united efforts
against the unalterable enemies of all efficient reform in
Church and State.

THE NORTHERN TOURIST FOR 1835,
Seventy-three Views of Lake and Mountain Scenery, &c.,
in Westmorland, Cumberland, Durham, and Northumberland;
with descriptions in English, French, or German.
" Nothing can exceed the charm of these lively views ; and while
we recreate the sense of vision with turning over so many sweet pic-
tures, we impress their histories on our memory by the judicious ac-
counts and descriptions with which they are accompanied. We are
sure the Gage d'Amitie will be a great favourite wherever it is seen."
—Literary Gazette, Nov. 23, 1834.
N.B—The Northern Tourist for 1834 has been lately reprinted.
It contains Seventy-three Views of an equally interesting descrip-
tion with the volume of 1835, but altogether differing in the sub-
jects represented.

man and Co. ; Whittaker and Co., and C. Tilt; Wakeman, Dub-
lin; Oliphant and Jones, Edinburgh; and Ogle, Glasgow.

" From such a party, let us listen to no offers—accept no
compromise. Specious hopes may be held out to delude and
to gain time; but can men who opposed the Reform Bill in
4q4r: ifag°,end ;t ac the destruction of the British

beneficial results? I hold that they cannot. Let all those who
think with me join heart and hand in the approaching trial. I
do not, I will not, for a moment, doubt but that their efforts
will be crowned with a success as glorious as marked their
former memorable struggles.
" I remain, gentlemen, your obedient humble servant,
" JOSEPH HUME.

CITY.
MR. HUNT AND THE LORD MAYOR.
THE DISMISSAL OF HIS MAJESTY'S MlNlSTERS.—Yes-
terday Mr. Hunt waited upon the Lord Mayor, and pre-
sented to his LordshiptQ u
a ndusg
requisition,i ned Livery
of which
of
London,
the following
re-
questis aeotphya;—yOtt‘ i•V Lordship h
rdship will, at your earliest convenience,
call a Common Hall of the citizens of. London, to consider
and discuss the propriety of what steps shall be taken in the
present critical state of affairs." The requisition was signed
by a few Liverymen.
Mr. Hunt said, that finding by what was stated in the
Newspapers that his Lordship would call a Common Hall
upon application from the Livery in a proper manner, he
waited upon his Lordship to ascertain whether the requisi-
tion he had just presented was such as his Lordship might
be disposed to entertain.
The LORD MAYOR said that he would most readily call
a Common Hall if properly applied to. He could have no
objection to a requisition properly worded. He, however,
saw that the requisition presented by Mr. Hunt was signed.
by very few persons.
Mr. Hunt—My Lord, I want to know whether you see
anything objectionable in the wording of the requisition
before Igo to procure signatures. If I thought you would
not object to it I could very soon get it numerously signed.
The Lord MAYOR—It is not signed by a sufficient num-
ber of persons.
Mr. Hunt—l know that. Ido not present it to be
agreed by your Lordship—but to know whether you object
to anything in it ; for if you do not I shall go round
amongst our fellow-citizens for their signatures. Will you
do me the favour to read it ?
The LORD MAYOR, after having read the reti
said, " What do you mean, Mr. Hunt, by ' what stops
Mr. Hunt—l mean, my Lord, by " what steps," what
measures we ought to adopt.
The LORD MAYOR—I think, Mr. Hunt, your requisi-
tion might be better worded.
Mr. Hunt—l thought I used words to which it was im-
possible to take objection. Suppose I say the " propriety
of adopting any measures," will your Lordship object to
these words ?

The Loan MAYOR—I'II leave the wording to your own
good sense, and I shall certainly do as I consider myself
bound conscientiously to do. I am not captious as to
words, but shall do my duty. I cannot say whether I am
satisfied with this requiSition or not, for it is not sufficiently
signed ; but I wish it' to be understood that I shall upon
all occasions maintain, to the utmost of my power, the pre-
rogative of the King.
Mr. Hunt—And at the same time, I hope, maintain the
privileges of the citizens of London ?
The Loan MAYOR—No doubt of it. Depend upon it
I shall do both. Nothing shall prevent me from using my
best efforts to preserve both inviolate.
Mr. Hunt--We want a Common Hall now, my Lord,
very much. We have not had one since the passing of the
Reform Bill. We want one now.
The . LORD MAvon—There is no man more disposed
than I am to give my fellow-citizens the opportunity of
stating their opinions ; but there is a great difference be-
tween expressing opinions and dictating to the Sovereign.
Mr. Hunt then withdrew for the purpose of getting sig-
natures to the requiSition.
