HALIFAX.

The intelligence of the dissolution of the Mdboarne Ministry,
and the appointment of the Duke of Wellington to the head of the
Cabinet, has produced a sensation in this town, such as has not oc-
curred at any former period. Reformers of all grades see the ne-
cessity of some steps being immediately taken to show to his Ma-
jesty, and to the Duke of Wellington, that, so far as regards the
principles of liberty, and the progress of reform, there has no re-
action taken place an the minds of the people. A numerous meet-
ing of reformers was held at the Bull's Head Inn, on Wednesday
evening, when it was unanimously resolved, that in the present
crisis of affairs they should bury all minor differences and take
prompt and decided measures to drive the Duke from his newly-
acquired post.

BURY.
On Wednesday evening a meeting of the inhabitants of Bury and
the neighbourhood, convened by a public requisition, was held in
the Clerke-street News-room, " to take into consideration what
measures it may be advisable to adopt in the present critical state of
national affairs," Mr. Daniel Bentley in the chair. A series of
resolutions were separately and unanimously passed, to the effect
that the formation of a Cabinet composed of individuals opposed to
all efficient reforms is fraught with danger to the peace of the
country, and likely to produce the most disastrous results; and
that a petition to the King be forthwith forwarded, praying his
Majesty to stop the arrangements for a Cabinet under the Duke of
Wellington.

CARLISLE.
(From the Carlisle Journal.
We have this week to communicate intelligence, which will be
heard with astonishment by all men—with credulity by many—with
fear and trembling by thousands. The Cabinet of Earl Melbourne
has bean contamaciously kicked out—Chancellor and all—and the
Duke of Wellington, as the head of a Tory faction, is at this mo-
ment the sole Dictator of England ! That the Cabinet of which
Earl Melbourne was the head should have fallen to pieces—that the
discordant materials of which it was composed, should have broken
in twain on its first collision with public opinion, was no more than
was looked for from the first day of its formation ; but that the
King, without some plausible notice, should have ventured upon the
reckless step of dismissing it, that he should have done so without
the slightest " pressure from without," and for the mere purpose of
restoring that faction to power, which is the most detested that ever
attempted to rule a free nation, is indeed not only surprising, but
most alarming.—Charles the first ventured to try the patience of the
pe ,ple over whom he reigned, by intriguing with the enemies of
that people ; Louis the 16th attempted to preserve a power which
he never would have possessed, by vacillating from one extreme to
another. Charles ended his days upon the block, and Louis under
the axe of the guillotine. It remains to be seen what may be the
effect of the experiment which William the Fourth has now been
advised to try upon the patience of his subjects.

SHEFFIELD.
(From the Sheffield Independent.)
This week, we have to record a great event, the suddenness and
importance of which have filled the nation with amazement. The
King, in the exercise of his hereditary wisdom, has dismissed, on
a mere pretext, the Reforming Administration, from which, in its
recently liberalized form, great and salutary measures were ex-
pected. His Majesty has again called to his counsels the man who
once declared, that he must be worse than mad if he thought of
being Prime Minister,—the man who, in 1830, fled from power
when his egregious and accumulated unders had lighted up the
midnight of the southern counties with incendiary fires ; when he
had found it necessary, to prevent a then popular King's visit to
his metropolis, because his Prime Minister dare not accompany
him ; and when our foreign relations were so embroiled, that the
breaking out of a general war seemed inevitable,—the man, who
took office in 1832, but retired in a few days, before the indignant
rebuke of an insulted nation. This is the man who now holds,
done, the reigns of Government. The first and universal impres-
sion was, that this change had been produced by a plot ; and al-
though the Tory press has laboured strenuously to remove this idea,
we are fully p,:srsuaded of its truth.
