Bart., was called to the Chair.

On the motion of General HAY, of Rannes, seconded by
ALF.XANDER BANNERMAN, Esq., Merchant, it was
unanimously resolved,
I. That the Meeting view with feelings of unmingled
sorrow and disappointment the recent vote of the House
of Lords, whereby the measure of Reform, proposed by
the late Ministers of the Crown, by his Majesty's com-
'land) twice signified from the throne approved of by the
Howse of Commons, and received with the warmest gra-
titude by the nation, has been again defeated ;—thus the
!rhole fabric of the British Constitution has been placed in
Jeopardy, the peace of the country endangered, and the just
hopes and expectations of the people for the present frus-
trated and blasted.

On the motion of Sir JOHN FORBES, of Craigievar, Bart.,
seconded by ALEX. BLACKIE, Esq., Banker, it was
unanimously resolved,
11. That the Meeting justly appreciate the patristic and
unexampled exertions of the Right Hon. Earl Grey, and
his colleagues, in support of the great measure of Reform,
and deeply deplore that so zealous, able, and enlightened
advisers of the Crown, possessing as they continue to do,
the unabated confidence of the nation, should have felt
themselves compelled to retire from office, at a time when
their services were so necessary for the salvation of the
country.

On the motion of THOMAS BURNETT, Esq., younger, of
Leys, seconded by JOHN M. GERRARD, Esq., of Mid-
wrath. it was unanimously resolved,
111. That as it is the constitutional right of the Com-
mons to withhold the National Suppies, the Meeting ear-
nestly and ardently trust that that Honourable House may
not shrink from the application of so salutary a remedy,
until a Bill equally efficient and extensive with the one
Which has been already passed by the House, shall become
the law of the land.

On the motion of ALES. Knuoun, Esq., Surgeon, se-
conded by JAMES FORBES, E-q., of Echt ,it was
unanimously resolved,
IV. That a petition to the House of Commons, founded
On these Resolutions, be forthwith prypated ; and as the
Meeting observe with astonishment. that the name of the
present Member for this district of Burghs, who so dis-
tinctly pledged himself to the Reform cause, and to ah. h
pledge he exelusively owes his seat in Parliament, .vnot
mentioned in the division in favour of Lord Ebrington's
motion—they do, therefore, resolve, that Mr. Hume. the
former Member for these Burghs, now Member for Mid-
dlesex, be requested to present and support the petition,
and that the Thanks of this Meeting be at the same time
conveyed to him for his steady and unflinching support of
the cause of Reform.
On the motion of ALFX. STRONACH, Esq. of Drumallan,
second.d by JAMES nun., Esq. Advocate, it was una-
nimously resolved,
V. That Petitions in favour of Reform, from this
county, with upwards of 15,000 signatures, and from this
city, with upwards of 8,000 signatures, having been so
lately presented to Parliament, the meeting, anxious to
have an early opportunity of conveying their sentiments to
the House of Commons, appoint the petition to be sub-
scribed by the Chairman, in name and on behalf of the
Meeting—and that copies of these Resolutions be trans-
mitted to each of his Majesty's late Ministers, and to the
Members of Parliament connected with the county and city
of Aberdeen.

On the motion of WILLIAM ALLARDYCE, Esq. Wine
Merchant, seconded by HARRY LEITH LUMSDEN, Esq.
of Auchindoir, it was unanimously resolved,
VI. That the Thanks of the Meeting are due to Viscount
Ebrington, and the other Patriotic Members of the House
of Commons, who supported the Resolutions proposed by
his Lordship, on the Occasion of the resignation of Minis-
ters, and that the Chairman be requested to convey the
same to his Lordship.
On the motion of WILLIAIt MoIA, Esq. of Park, seconded
by ALEXANDER FORBES, Esq. of Ainslie, Wine Mer-
chant, it was unanimously resolved,
VII. That these Resolutions be published in the Aber-
deen Chronicle, and Journal, Edinburgh Scotsman, and

The new Bishop of Hereford, Dr. GREY,
was last night introduced to the House of Lords, with the
customary forms, and thereupon took the oaths and hie
seat. He was introduced by the Bishops of St. DAVID'S
and of BRISTOL.
Last night the whole neighbourhood of the
Parliament Houses was crowded inure than usual. The
police, who lined the street all the way 'rum Abingdon-
street to Parliament-street, kept the place tolerably clear,
limiting those who waited to the edges of the pavement
and the sides of the roads; but the crowds extended be.
yond Bridge-street and Palace-yard. The crowd, how-
ever, were very orderly. The passage and lobbies were
par force kept more clear than on former evenings.
NON•PAYMENT OF TAXES.—The contem-
plated national resistance to the payment of direct taxes,
would have left the Government minus about .£5,000,000
sterling per annum. The assessed taxes amounted for the
year ending April 1832 to £4,988,412. A defection in
the Revenue even to this amount, would have been rec-
koned by the " Great Captain" a pretty considerable slap
in the national funds ; but it would at least have been
doubled by the derangement of trade consequent on his
Grace's accepting the prernieiship.— Scotsman.

TIIE HAGUE, MAY 16.—1 n the sitting of the Second
Chamber to-day, a Royal Message was presented, with a
project of law and explanatory memorial, to make good
the loss which the revenue will sustain by the proposed
duction of the import duties, and to promote the national
industry according to the example of the law of 1805, to
impose a duty on some articles of foreign oriuin.
Several petitions relative to the Tariff, were referred to
the Committee.
BERLIN, MAY 12.—His Majesty has been pleased to
accede to the request of Count Bernstorff, to be allowed t«
retire on account of his ill health, from the post of Mi-
nister of State, and has appointed M. Ancillon to suc-
ceed Count Bernstorff as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The cholera still lingers at Halle and Prague. In the
former town there remained six, in the latter seventeen
patients, on the 9th. The learned Editor of the Literary
Journal of Halle (Professor H. C. G. Schutz), died
lately in the 85th year of his age. Privy Councillor
Philippsborn, principal Editor of the Prussian State
Gazette, has retired from that office. The circulation
of the Journal increased fourfold while under his manage-
ment.

GOTTINGEN, MAY 6.—The Polish Colonel Tur, far
from having been arrested and sent to Hanover, as has
been asserted, is here in the full enjoyment of his liberty,
under the protection of the Hanoverian Government,
and there is no probability whatever that he would be
given up to Russia; but his papers were certainly ex-
amined, and several relative to the Polish revolution were
delivered up to the Russian Ambassador i❑ Dresden.
Hamburg Papers, May 15.
ALEXANDRIA, Aram 13 —lbrahim Pacha has opened
the operations of the campaign against the Porte with a
victory. Ahdallah Pacha, after repeatedly refusing a ca-
pitulation, proposed a fifteen days cessation of the operations
against St. Jean d'Acre, which Ibrahim agreed to. The
conditions are not positively known, but one of them is
said to be the fortress to be delivered up to the Egyp-
tians, if not relieved within that time. As soon as the
convention was concluded, Ibrahim proceeded by forced
marches to attack the Turkish troops assembling at Aleppo,
and actually succeeded in surprizing and totally defeating
at Alexandretta a Turkish corps of 15,000 men, coming
to relieve St. Jean d'Acre ; those who did not fall under
the bayonet of the Egyptians were taken prisoners, or dis-
persed, flying in all directions. It is most probable that
Ibrahim will now return to St. Jean d'Acre, and demand
from Abdallah the fulfilment of the convention. The
Egyptian fleet is quite ready for sea, and will shortly go,
it is said, to meet the Turkish fleet off Rhodes. The
Pachas engaged seven hundred Greek islanders to man
the 12 fire-ships that accompany his fleet. To encourage
the crews of the fire-ships, he has, besides other favoura-
ble conditions, promised large indemnities to the families
of such as may lose their lives, vie., 5,000 talaris to the
family of a captain, and 500 to the family of a common
sailor.

TRIESTE, MAY 6 —We have just received accounts
from Alexandria, of the 15th of April, announcing that
the Egyptian fleet, consisting of eight ships of the line
and frigates, seven corvettes, fifteen brigs, nineteen schoon-
ers, twt lee fire-ships, and a great number of transport's,
had weighed anchor. Several Greek captains are said to
have received letters of marque against Turkish ships.

On 'Thursday, when the LORD HIGH COM.
MISSIONER was proce,,cling in state parade from Merchants
Hall, to the High Church, the band struck up the KING'S
anthem, hut only one line had been played, when loud
hisses from the crowd blended with the loyal strain.—
The band immediately changed the tune.—Scotsman.

REACTION !—The petition voted at the
great meeting on Tuesday, was sent off yesterday, with
313,700 signatures, obtained in two days, being about
2,000 more than were adhibited to the last one. So much
for reaction !—Scotsman.

TWEED FISHINGS.—The salmon fry has,
this season, being noticed passing down the river to the
8, a, in vast numbers, and everything indicates a plentiful
year. As with the game, it is an unusually early season.
Clean whitlings have been frequently in Kelso market
during the present month, and a new run grilse of 3•b.
weight, caught near Nurham, was sold there on the 10th
inst. The fishermen do not remember so early an instance,
and the fact illustrates the rapid growth of the species.
The end of May and beginning of June are considered
early periods for the appearance of the grilse in fresh water,
in ordinary seasons.— Caledonian Mercury.

On the emigrants from Petworth, and its
neighbourhood, who were so kindly assisted by the Earl
of EGREMONT in embarking for America, sailing from
Portsmouth, they took with them some carrier pigeons,
which they promised to let loose at various stages of their
voyage. This week three of the birds have reached their
dove-cote at Midhurst ; one of them bore a note round his
neck, and which states that the voyagers had, when the
bird was despatched, been eleven days at sea, all well, and
had just entered upon the Atlantic ocean. By this it ap-
pears they had a protracted passage out of the Channel.—
Brighton Herald.

The feuars of Wellington-street have thought
proper to change its name, and on each corner, viz. at
Toll-cross and Fountainbridge, have put up in legible let-
ter), " Earl Grey Street." by which name it shall be dis-
tinguished in future.—Scotsman.
CHANGE OF COSTUME.—Most of the
Bishops have abandoned both their wigs and silk aprons,
and dle to onger distinguishable in ai p►a ranee from the rest
of the clergy.
WANT OF UNIFORMITY.—WhiIe, in most
of the London churches, on Sunday, the cholera prayers
were continued, in others a thanksgiving for our deliver.
ance from it was substituted, omitting the word " con-
tagious," so that the Bishop of LONDON may be presumed
to have decided that which the doctors are still fighting
about.

It appears, from an official return, that the
duty received in Great Britain on playing cards in 1827,
when the duty was 2s. 0., amounted to 20,8641.125.6 d.
The duty on each pack, in 1828, was Is., and the gross
receipt 17 3651. There has been a gradu +I falling off in
the gross amount, and last year it was 14,4001. 2s. In
Ireland, the duty in 1827, when the rate was 2s. 6.1. a
pack, amounted to 1,001/. 12a 6d. In 1829, the rate
per pack being 18,, the duty amounted to 4081. 11s.
Last year it was only 1081. 18s.

The ARMY.—When the news of Earl
GREY'S resignation, and the probable formation of a Wel-
lington Ministry, reached the Military Club of a certain
Scottish city, a full meeting of military and naval officers
expressed their sentiments pretty warmly on the subject.
Upon a question started, as to whether his Grace di-served
congratulation from the British forces upon his restoration
to power, a keen altercation took place, and although the
question found supporters among both military and naval
officers present, the sentiments of the majority were de-
cidedly unfavourable to the contemplated change in the
administration.—Scotsman.

ACTUAL CONVERSATION BETWEEN AN
IRISH LADY AND AN IRISH SERVANT OUT OF PLACE...—.
"Ah ! then I'm proud to see yer Ladyship ; and God
reward ye, and he good to ye, for the favour ye've shown
a poor lone ould craythur like myself ! Sure, what would
I do but die only for ye ?" " Why don't you try to get a
place ?" " A place is it ? Och, it's my feet that's worn
off looking after them for pl,ces ; and the worst o' them
wont take up wid me, 'cause I'm ould and Irish, which is
a shame—and you, ma'am, and many like ye, from the
sod, God bless ye!" " Well, you must only keep LT
your spirit." " Troth, ma'am, it's all I have to keep•
And now there's two o' my front teeth gone ; thou,4h to
be sure they took the best time to be off, when I'd nothing
for 'em to do."—Literary Gazette.

EXTRAORDINARY BIRTII.-A poor woman,
near Eyre-court, county Galway, was safely delivered, on
Monday last, of four children—a son and three daughters,
who are living and doing well.—Limerick Herald.

HEARTY CRITICISM.—A lively periodical
describing the merits of a new singer, says, " in point. °
feeling we may say that her voice comes from that part
of the chest in which the heart is situated, and therefore
it is not wonderful that it should make its way to a similar
region with its hearers, and that it may be described, like
a letter in a novel, as coming " from the same to the
same.'"

A child, a few months old, whilst in bed with
its parents, in this city, was a few nights ago, attacked
by a rat, which actually devoured a great portion of its
nose!.... Carlisle Patriot.
