HOLE AND CORNER MEETING OF THE

TORIES,
AGAINST THE FULFILMENT OF THE TREATY
BETWEEN BELGIUM AND HOLLAND.

(From the Glasgow Chronicle.)
The Anti-Reformers having advertised a public meeting
in the Black Bull Hall, at which Is. was to be charged
for admission, for the purpose of expressing disapproba-
tion of the measures which have been adopted for the
fulfilment of the treaty respecting Belgium and Holland,
and for addressing his Majesty on the subject, a meet-
ing was held yesterday afternoon in the Black Bull Inn,
when upwards of 100 Reformers attended. After a dis.
cession on the terms of the advertisement, which left it
doubtful whether any one but those against the Ministry
could claim admittance, it was agreed, with four or five
dissentients, that the Reform party should attend the
meeting and propose an adjournment. To-day, as early
as 1 o'clock, a great number of gentlemen were in at-
tendance at the Black Bull, anxious for admittance into
the great hall, where the meeting was advertised to be
held. An attempt was made by several gentlemen to
make their way into the hall, which was forcibly re-
sisted, even though they tendered their shilling, and
they were told that it was a " private" meeting of
gentlemen, which they might call a hole-and-corner
meeting if they chose. The gentlemen who were pre-
vented from entering, instantly formed themselves into
a meeting in another room, and appointed a chairman,
when it was agreed that J. Oswald, Colin Dunlop, John
Douglas, James Mylne, J. Wallace, J. Ure, J. Crawford,
and J. Strang, should be sent as a deputation. The de-
putation went and put the question to the doorkeepers—if
they would he allowed to enter the hall if they paid their
shilling. Their answer was, " decidedly not." They
were then asked if they were authorized to prevent them.
They said they were. One gentleman stated that he had
paid his shilling, but asking him if he was favourable to
their views of the question, he said he came to hear and
judge. They then said he could net. The deputation re-
turned and reported, and Sir D. K. Sandford moved, se-
conded by Mr. John Douglas, that a requisition should be
signed on the spot, and presented to the Lord Provost, to
call a public meeting of the citizens, to consider the pro-
priety of expressing their abhorrence of the shameful at-
tempt at deception practised by the individuals who had
called the meeting of this day, and at the same time to
express their confidence in his Majesty's Ministers. By 3
o'clock upwards of 500 names had been appended to the
requisition, and crowds were still pressing forward to sign.
After a desperate struggle, the liberal party were
pushed back by brute force, which they could have re-
pelled by their little fingers if they wished, and the Tories
were left masters of the field. The Tory leaders stood
by the porters, and pointed out the gentlemen whom they
were to "admit, and whom they were to exclude; every
man of known liberal sentiments who made his appear-
ance was compelled to retire. Among others who ap-
peared at the door were Sir D. K. Sandford and Mr.
John Douglas.

At two o'clock, on the motion of Convener M`LELLaw,
HENRY MONTEITH, E•q., of Carstars, took the chair.
Mr. MONTEITH opened the business, and deprecated
war with Holland as unjust and unnecessary, and ruinous
to this country.
The first resolution, that the preservation of peace is of
the utmost importance to the British nation, so long as
it is consistent with its honour and independence, was
moved by Mr. Bucira NAN, of Dowanhill, and seconded by
Mr. JAMES M'CALL, of Daldowie.
Mr. Sitinr, of Jordanhill, moved, that they viewed
with astonishment and alarm the war of aggression, in
conjunction with France, against our old ally the King of
the Netherlands.
Mr. R. FINDLAY moved the address ; and in the course
of his speech disclaimed all intention of embarrassing the
Ministry ; but they bad brought themselves to the brink
of a precipice, and it was the duty of the country to warn
them of their danger.
Mr. A. GARDEN moved that the address be presented
by the Duke of Buccleuch, which was seconded by Mr.
C, STIALINQ,
