ST. MARY, NEWINGTON.

I Last night a meeting of this parish was held at the Na-
tional a^hool-room, Queen's Head-row, for the purpose of
2lajesty on the present crisis. From 800 to
addressing his
1,000 persQns were cresent, and we understand that such
a numerously attended veb.!rY meeting has not been held in
this parish for the last twenty yet: s•
Mr. BRANDON (the senior Churcbv:.
arden of the parish)
on taking the Chair, read the requisition to the Churchwar-
dens for calling the meeting.
Mr. PALMER said that the parishioners of Ne.Yington
had that night met to discharge as important a duty as any
Englishmen could be called upon to perform, namely, to
express their opinions on the appointment of certain persons
to the situations of his Majesty's Ministers.—( Hear, bear.)
The reasons why they could not place confidence in the
present Ministers were well known to the meeting. It was
clear, from what was passing around them, that the change
which had recently taken place was not in unison with the
feelings of the nation.—(Clicers.) It was hardly possible
to go into a tradesman's shop in the metropolis or any other
of the large towns, without hearing of the almost total stag-
nation o trade which had taken place within the last few
weeks.—(Cheers.) He was acquainted with many of the
leading commercial men in the city of London, and he had
not conversed with one of them who had not made similar
complaints.—(Renewed cheers.) The fear was general
that the commercial policy so beneficially acted upon for
the last four years would be changed if the present men
continued in office.—(Loud cheers.) He would recom-
mend gentlemen to recollect the declaration which the
Duke of Wellington made at Ramsgate a few weeks ago,
with reference to Holland, and ask thm whether they had
nothing to fear ?—(Hear, bear, hear.) He recommended
them to recollect the conduct and declarations of the Tories
with respect to the people of Poland. What were the ex-
pressed opinions of the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert
Peel, and others, of the Tory clique, with respect to Don
Miguel, that tyrant who had trampled on the liberties of
his country ?—(Cheers.) And after this, lie would ask
them whether they had no reasons to fear a change in the
foreign policy of England ?—(Applause.) The late Go-
vernment were prepared to grant to the Dissenters those
civil rights which they demanded ; and the pre-
sent Ministers had opposed, in every possible shape,
all motions that had been brought forward in Parliament
for the concession of those rights ; and he woula Ask whether
they were now likely to turn round, and yield the
just claims of the Dissenters ?—(Cries of " No, no.")
He was satisfied that the revenues now possessed by the
Church would, if properly distributed, be amply sufficient
to afford a decent maintenance to its ministers, and also to
pay for upholding tho buildings, by which means church-
rates might be got rid of.—(Loud cheers.) He trusted
that if the Tories got into office—if the Duke of Welling-
ton or Sir R. Peel succeeded in forminc, an Administra-
tion, that they would come in on decided Tory principles.
He trusted that they would not again compromise the cha-
racter of public men in this country—(loud cheers)—that
they would not again bring forward and carry measures
which they had pledged themselves to oppose, as involving
the safety—nay, the very existence of the constitution.—
(Loud cheers.) He recollected being present a few years
ago at a Surrey county meeting, where Sir R. Peel was
designated by his Tory friends as a traitor to his principles
—(cheers)--and as a Janus-faced apostate—(laughter)---
and what would his friends now say, if he acted as he did
on the Catholic question, and turn round and support Re-
form, which he had ever strenuously opposed, as dangerous
to the Constitution ?—(Loud cheers.) The people, how-
ever, had one consolation, namely—that if the Tories suc-
ceeded in gaining office, either on their old principles, or by
pretending to adopt those which they had es:er opposed,
they could not retain power for six months.—(Applause.)
He concluded with proposing a resolution.

Mr. GREEN seconded the motion.
Mr. ROSE could not agree to the resolution proposed, and
moved an amendment.
Mr. HENDY seconded the amendment.
Mr. HARDY trusted that Mr. Rose would withdraw his
amendment.
The amendment was rejected, only the hands of the
mover and seconder being beld up for it ; while the original
resolution was agreed to, amidst great applause.
Mr. HARDY proposed the second resolution, which was
carried with great applause.
Other resolutions were proposed by other gentlemen,
and agreed to.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meet-
ing broke up.

MEETING OF REFORMERS AT HULL.
( From the Hull 'Advertiser of Friday.)
RECEPTION OF WILLIAM HUTT, ESQ., AI.P., BY HIS
CONSTITUENTS.
Thursday, the 4th December, will be a day memorable
among the Reformers of Hull.
Shortly after one o'clock, the procession, which was or,
ganized by the Seamen's Friendly Society, of which Mr.
Hutt is patron, started from the Cross Keys' Hotel, ac-
companied by Mr. Hill and some of the members of his
committee, all anxious to mark their attachment to those
great principles professed in common by both our represen-
tatives. Mr. Hutt was received with the most enthusiastic
tokens of welcome. Mr. Hill, having been invited took
his seat along with his worthy colleague amidst the cheers
of all around ; and the horses havinr, been taken from the
carriage, the proeession moved forward, swelling in numbers
as it advanced, and ever and anon sending forth their shouts
of joy and welcome. Having arrived at the Kingston Hotel,
the procession halted ; and, after a brief space, Mr. Hutt
appeared, in a balcony, fronting the Market-place—the
crowd beneath being at that time immense—not less than
12,000 persons being congregated together. After the
cheering had subsided, Mr. Hutt spoke as follows:—
Gentlemen, I am sure you will anticipate the first expres-
sions that must burst from my lips, after the very extraor-
dinary and heart-stirring welcome which you have this day
given me. The scene, indeed, so far exceeds all that I could
have anticipated—it so far outdoes any scene I ever wit-
nessed similar to it in my life, that it would embarrass any
one, far more calculated than I have ever been, to give ut-
terance to the feelings of his heart.—(Cheers.) Gentle-
men I have heard a great deal about re-action. I only wish
that thole who seem to be calculating at this moment upon
a re-action of public feeling in the country, could have be-
held the scene that I have this day witnessed.—(Cheers.)
If I have rightly understood the signs of the present times,
I see the period not very far distant when you will be again
called upon to exercise the right of electing your represen-
tatives. Gentlemen, my conduct in parliament has been
before you all. You have seen me there always atd my
post—never compromising—never flinching from my uty.
I have there supported the cause of the people—ti3e cause
of civil and religious liberty upon all occasions--
cheering.) You have seen me vote for shortening- the
duration of Parliaments, for the protection of the bajlot,
and for every other measure calculated to send to the Howe
of Commons free representatives of the people—(Cheers.3
You have seen me vote for a reduction of expenditure, for
a reduction of taxation, for intelligible and impartial laws,
for cheap and prompt justice. You have seen me vote for
giving to every class of my fellow-citizens, and every deno-
mination of Christians, equal rights—(Loud cheers.)
In a word, I trust you have seen me promote, in some
measure, the cause of good government.—(Loud Cheers.)
Now, gentlemen, since I last had the honour of meeting
you here, some very extraordinary changes have taken
place. The Duke of Wellington has become a Reformer.
—(e Oh ! " and laughter.) Yes, he who belongs to that
faction which has loaded this country with eight hundred
millions of debt--(Hear.)—that faction which has
wrested from this country millions which they expended
upon themselves, upon their parasites, upon the despots of
the continent, upon keeping down the spirit of liberty
throughout the world—he has become a reformer.—(Loud
cheers and laughter.) The Duke of Wellington is a Re-
former ! but if he is so, has he not turned out a Reform-
ing administration—has he not been brought into power
upon the shoulders of those whom we know only as ene-
mies—decided enemies—of all Reform ? I therefore say
thelDuke either ought not to be where he is, or we must
come to the conclusion that the Duke of Wellington must
be deceiving us. Talk of danger from Radicals! of ap-
prehension from Democrats ! Why, if the Conservative
wisdom of the Duke of Wellington has not brought this
great country into a most fearful peril, he must have

some charm, some amulet for its protection.--(Cheering.)
If the Duke of Wellington were disposed to advocate the
principles of the Earl of Durham, and in which I cordially
concur; should he propose to reform the Church, also re-
form the House of Lords, and give us a good and. sub-
stantial measure of Corporation reform—my vote he never
should obtain.—(Tremendous cheers.) No ; I will receive
not even an improvement, not even a benefit from the Duke
of Wellington—against him and all his party—against what-
ever set of men he may ally himself with, I declare unqua-
lified opposition.—(Loud cheers.) In saying this, I am
sure I speak the language of every honest Reformer in this
country.—(Cheers.) I declare that all the changes in my-
life I have witnessed—all I have been able to trace in the
course of history—there is not one more grateful to me, or
on which I dwell with greater satisfaction, than the
growth of real Christianity among. us.—( Hear, hear.) It
is very well known that a short time ago, those who
really professed, and who observed the articles and
liturgy, and doctrines of the Church of England, were
an object of censure and avoidance. Is it so now ?
But, gentlemen, I believe it is not the spiritual part of
this church those people are alluding to. When they say
the "church is in danger" they mean the pluralities of the
church—they mean the pelf and plunder—they mean all
that which degrades the Church of-England—and which in
my opinion is really undermining its existence.—(Cheers.)
If, indeed, when they say " the church is in danger," they
mein that part of the church, then most assuredly it is in
danger, zud rather more than they are aware of.—(Hear,-
hear.) remembrance of this day will warm my heart
to the last evening of my existence.—(Mr. Hutt retired
from the balcony amidst the most enthusiastic cheering,
which was followed hi loud calls for Mr. Hill.)
The assemblage, after giving three cheers for the Earl of
Durham, then proceeded towards the statue, where they
were addressed by Mr. Hill.

COVENTRY.
(From the Coventry He,-ald.)
A numerous and respectable meeting of electors of this
City took place in the large room at the Crav,en Arms, on
Monday evening last, for the purpose of considering the
h;ost desirable course to be pursued, in the event of a dis-
solmion of Parliament, in the present crisis of public affairs.
The chair being taken, the business of the meeting was
introdueed by reading a long and interesting letter from
Mr. Ellice, 'which was received with the most decided
approbation.
Mr. ELLICE in hi; letter says, that from the state of
his health it has become.: absolutely indispensable that he
should pass the three winter months in a warmer climate,
on which journey he was then about to proceed. He
further expresses a doubt, whether a dissolution of Par-
liament will take place, because lie considers that the
impossibility of forming a Government consisting of the
opponents of the Reform Bill, will be discovered before
such a step is had recourse to. The determination of the
late Government and the House of Commons to persist
in certain measures for reforming the Church of Ireland,
by the application of some of its funds to really useful
purposes, which funds were now applied to the maintenance
of sinecure clergymen, having no duties to perform, and
only occupied in the pursuit of pleasure, at places of
fashionable resort—while the individuals who will compcse
the new Government have declared their hostility to such
reform, is a proof that these discornant materials could
never act together ; nor would in his opinion a very dif-
ferent result be effected by a dissolution. If, however, a
dissolution should be resorted to, Mr. Ellice says his grand.
object is, that the course may be followed by all electors
which will secure the ascendancy of the great principle of
Reform ; with respect to Coventry he says he shall lament
deeply that an attempt to return him in his absence, should
expose his friends to the least risk of not returning a good
Reformer with Mr. Bulwcr ; but that if it should be in
accordance with the feelings of the electors, he should be
gratified by a renewal of that connection which has now
been of so long duration, and which on his part has always
been a source of pride and gratification.
Mr. E. GOODE had received a letter from Mr. Bulwer,
who was then in France, stating his readiness to respond to
the call of his constituents in case of a dissolution of Parlia-
ment, an event which was doubtful until the return of Sir
R, Peel, of which we should speedily know ; he expected to
return to town on Thursday (yesterday.) Mr. Bulwer
also, in speaking of Mr. Ellice, sincerely regretted that any
of the Reformers of Coventry should endeavour to effect
a disunion among the friends of that great cause by an op-
position, the certain result ot, which would be to assist the
Tories. Mr. Goode further stated, that if a dissolution
should take place, he bad no doubt that Mr. Bulwer would
immediately issue his address.
Mr. GOODE then moved the following resolution :
" That under existing Circumstances, it is wise and politic;
for the reformers of Covel:try to make common cause, and
exert their best energies to set,lre the return of Messrs. Ellice
and Bulwer as the representative.; of this City, in the event of
a dissolution of Parliament."
Mr. G. BADDELEY seconded t.le resolution, which was
put and carried with five dissentients' only.

PUBLIC MEETING OF THE _.'..LECTORS OF
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.

The strongest feeling has existed in Newcastle and the sur-
rounding neighbourhood, from the first moment the alarming news
reached there of the sudden determination of his Majesty to call to
his councils the Duke of Wellington, and that high Tory Aristocra-
tic party, who are known to be the unflinching enemies of the li-
berties of the people ; but on no occasion, since the arrival of that
astounding intelligence, has it burst forth with such spirit and zeal
to prevent Tory domination as at the present meeting. It was cousi-
dered by the adverse party that the Reformers of thedistrict ha.d war—
ranted the assertions of reaction, but on Monday morning a requisition,
respectfully signed, was put forth, calling upon the electors to
assemble, for the purpose of adopting such measures as would
secure the return to Parliament of two independent reforming
Members, in the event of a dissolution. That all classes of the
electors might be accommodated as to the hour of meeting, half-
past seven o'clock, on Wednesday evening last, was named, and
the Music Hall selected for that purpose. Before that hour, how-
ever, some hundreds had congregated in front of the building in
Blaaett-street, eager to obtain admittance, and when the doors
were opened, such a rush took place to reach the body of the Hall
as the inhabitants have rarely witnessed, and in less than half an
hour, every part of the Hall, including the Gallery, for which
nearly three hundred tickets had been granted, was crowded to ex-
cess, so that upwards of one thousand persons, upon a fair calcula-
tion, were present, and the number would have been greatly aug-
mented had there been further accommodation. Shortly after the
time appointed the leading requisitionists made their way to the
Gallery, and were cheered in the most enthusiastic manner.
_ _

On the motion of Mr. BUDDLE,
TOOMAS DOUBLEDAY, Esq., was called to the Chair amidst
the mot flattering applause. He now called upon the
Electors, as men connected with a great, important, and
popular town, to consider calmly, considerately, and as wisdom
dictated, the picsent position of public affairs. It should be re-
membered that the Administration, springing out of the Reform
Bill, had been removes:: and the prince of Toryism put in its place ;
but the reformers, in his opinion, ought neither to be alarmed nor
intimidated, because he knew well, that whether they had a Whig
or a Tory Government, it was utterly impossible to carry on a system
to which the thinking people of ti;is country had all their lives been
opposed. The people had nothing to fear, but to act an honest part,
not only to subvert the Duke of Wellivgton, but to prevent the re-
currence of misgoverment. The way to prevent, this was to select
and return such candidates for Newcastle and Gateshead, as would
forward the liberal views of the Earl of Durham, namely, " House-
hold suffrage, vote by ballot, and triennal Parliacients." The Chair-
man, after an animated speech, sat down amidst great applause.
Mr. LAING proposed the first resolution, to the affect " that the
Duke of Wellington, and those by whom he is supported, ought to
be opposed by the people of England, and that this meeting is pre-
pared to oppose his Government accordingly." In the course of
some well-applied remarks, he observed that much had been said on
behalf of the Duke for granting Catholic emancipation, but this
was done to enable him to keep his place a little longer—the fact
was, that that great measure was obtained through the patriotic
exertions of the injured and industrious Daniel O'Connell. The
people of the three kingdoms were looking forward to the separa-
tion of Church and State, and was it probable that such a measure
would be granted by the great " Dictator," who had so recently
gone through the humbug mummery at Oxford ? He was not par-
tial to the Whigs, but lie believed some of them were honest in
their intentions, and if they (the electors) were to split their votes
at the ensuing contest, he would say do so with such a man as Mr.
Ord, who had provedhimself worthy of their confidence.— ( Cheers. )
Mr. Mut KLE seconded the resolution, and said, that although a
staunch and determined Radical, he was ready to meet the views
of the Earl of Durham, in the absence of brighter prospects.
Mr. LARKIN, in a speech,of great length, deprecated the political
conduct of both Whigs and Tories. Ile had always professed ra-
dical principles, and now contended, as a matter of indisputable:
right, that every man was entitled, by a principle far exceeding
any human law, to the elective franchise. He would not, how-
ever, at the present time, oppose the views of the Earl of Durham.
He spoke nearly an hour and a half, though, in some instances, ra-
ther contradictory, and concluded by observing that it would be the
electors, and not the Duke of Wellington, who would become the
oppressors of their country, unless they acted firmly and consci-
entiously in returning independent members to the House of Com-
mons.—( Applause.) Mr. L. then moved that the following pledge
should be obtained from the electors as early as possible :—" We,
the unsiersigned, pledge ourselves to support two candidates of well
known liberal and reforming sentiments, who will undertake to sup-
port the principles of the Earl of Durham, comprising household
serage, vote by ballot, and triennial Parliaments."
The motion )vas seconded by Mr. Baddle, and carried, with the
exception of one hand, held up against it.
Mr. GIBSON proposed the third resolution, which constituted the
formation of an active committee to carry the foregoing resolution
into effect.. This was seconded by Mr. Blakey, and carried una-
nimously.
The names of upwards of twenty influential individuals were
proposed to the meeting and adopted, with power to add to their
number, and a determination was agreed upon to carry the resolu-
tions into immediate effect. After a vote of thanks to the Chair-
man, the meeting separated.

After the death of the late Earl of Derby, there
were sever► thousand guineas found in a drawer of his bureau
which must have remained there for a considerable time, as it
is several years since the circulation of guineas ceased. His
Lordship a short time ago found two bank notes of 1,000/.
each in another drawer, of which he had not the slightest re-
collection.
A late order of the Emperor Nicholas to Russian
workmen to quit Bcrne is said to be felt throughout Switzer-
land as a national insult, because, in fact, there are not a dozen
Russian workmen in the whole of that country. The insult
was, therefore, perfectly gratuitous.
