MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MINISTERS.
On Saturday afternoon a Meeting of Members of the House
of Commons who have hitherto voted with Sir R. Peel,
was held at the house of Lord Francis Egerton, in
Cleveland-square. About one hundred and thirty gentlemen
were present. Captain Ferguson, M.P. for Banffshire, Mr.
Walter, and Sir Phillip Durham, left the meeting before its
conclusion, apparently not well satisfied. The prospect opened
to them could hardly be of the most exhilirating character. It
was impossible for them to exult in the success of the past
week, and the coming week presents no consoling hope. There
were some very blank looks among the compt.ny, and " dire
forebodings shook them while they spoke." They felt the
peril was great, and that, in all probability, the day of the pre-
sent Administration would be very short. Before breaking
up it was resolved to divide themselves into sections, each sec-
tion to bring as many as possible to vote ngainst the motion
of Lord John Russell-this evening. The Ministerialists must
have felt themselves uncomfortably weak before they could have
resolved on adopting such a course.

DINNER TO MR. DAWSON.—The Secretary to
the Admiralty, the Right Hon Geo. Dawson, is expected to
visit this town about the 23d of April next, when he will dine
with his friends and supporters. A preliminary meeting. is to
be held this day (Saturday) to make the necessary arrange-
ments.—Devonport Independent.

CITY CONSERVATIVE MEETING.—The leading
City Tories had a private meeting on Friday, at the London
Tavern—so private that nom) but those well known to them
were admitted. The object was to get up a petition against
the appropriation of tithe to any other than ecclesiastical pur-
poses. Upwards of forty. Conservative Members of Parliament
were . present, and Pole, the banker, took the chair. It
is understood that the above named petition is being secretly
signed, and that the intention is to present it unexpectedly
this evening as the petition of the merchant, and bankers of
London.

It is reported that arraneements are being made by
the Mail Coach contractors, on the line of road from London
to Plymouth, which when carried into effect will enable the
mail to arrive here nearly two hours earlier than it does at
present.—Detronport Independent.

LIVERPOOL CORN-EXCHANGE, MARCH 27.
The arrivals of all kinds of Grain since Tuesday are very mo-
derate in amount, but having a very slender attendance of
town millers, and scarcely a buyer from the country, the trade
for every article was extremely inanimate. The few transac-
tions in Wheat this morning were confined altogether to retail
quantities, and holders being more disposed to sell than of
late, a small abatement was in some instances conceded. For
Barley and Malt there appeared very little inquiry, and each
may be considered rather cheaper. In the value of Beans and
Peas we have no material alteration to note. Oats, in the
absence of country demand, were more neglected than usual,
and a decline of Ad. to Id. per 451 b. would have been sub-
mitted to, had sales been practicable. Flour and Oatmeal,
influenced by the same cause, scarcely maintained our last
quotations. There was nothing done to-day in the Farr. e:s'
market. Very few attended. Prices if main nominal.
