The calls yesterday at the Palace were very numerous.

We have only left ourselves time to refer,
thus briefly to the speech on Monday evening, of the Noble
Recreant, who represents in the House of Commons the
Tory interest of Liverpool. In votirg against Ministers

in an important division on the Reform Bill, his Lordship
has set most bravely at defiance his oft repeated pledges to
the electors of Liverpool ; but he has not the lets truly
verified our expectations, we may say our predictions re-
pecting him. His Lordship certainly has not surprised.
he has hardly disappointed us. His vacillating conduct
ut the last election fully prepared us for this degree of
apostscy. He has long been coqueting with the Anti.,
and in spite of the Chancellor's eulogy, we should not
greatly wonder to see him leap into their arms at last?

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE IN DANGER.-
A singular circumstance occurred the week before last to
the Duke of NEWCASTLE, at his seat, Cluttbsr Hall,
which has not been noticed by any of contemporaries.
His Grace, the public are aware, has fortified his seat with
cannon on the top, where the men, with lighted matches,
relieve each other night and day. A strong piquet is
kept constantly on duty, and they sleep on guard beds as
in a fortified garrison, and a man is stationed at each gun.
They have the best of the land to live on, and, as may be
supposed, are not all of them subscribers to and supporters
of the Temperance Society. His Grace was returning
home in a post chaise, totally unexpected by the family,
and without any previous signal, when one of the sentinels
on the top, who it is supposed was inebriated, was shout
to apply his match to the gun which commantl,ed the grand
entrance, and which would have blown his master is
atoms. Happily for the Duke he was prevented so doing
by his comrade, who in an instant pushed him aside. The
shock was so great that his Grace did not sleep for the two
following nights. Since that time the outer park gates
have been guarded, and no person can pass without the
pass-word, which is repeated three times before arriving at
the Hall.

We have received a vast number of letters,
for which we cannot find room, respecting the Scotch
dinner,,—or, as it is otherwise called (by way of joke, we
suppose,) the Scottish Literary Festival. There is one
question, however, in which all our correspondents join,
and which we think the stewards are bound to answer,—
What is the amount of the surplus,—who has got it,—
and what is to be done with it ?—TiorY.

ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.

On Saturday last a public meeting. was held (pulauant
to advertisement) at the cemasons' Tavern.

Mr. SAUNDIRS addressed the meeting. He apologised
for taking so active and prominent a part; but his soli-
citude for the interest and character of the borough of
Southwark, and the love he had for every thing dear to
the country, were his justificatio❑ for the exertions he
made to rescue that splendid relic of ancient architecture
from destruction.—(Hear, hear.) However, he stood not
alone. There were a few generous and high-minded
spirits who co-operated with him.—(Cheers.) The Mar-
quis of Lansdowne was requested to preside at the meet •
ing, and stated that he was fully aware of the beauty and
antiquity of the building, and deeply sensible of the pro-
priety of preserving it, and expressed his extreme regret
that &nether engagement prevented him from attending the
meeting.—(Cheers.) Mr. Saunders then proposed that
Arthur Pott, Esq. barrister, should take the Chair.

Mr. PAYNTIR, barrister, said, the magnificent !trues
tore which a few now sought to sweep away, reflected a
glory on the borough of Southwark, and why should the
parish of St. Saviour register it own shame, and perpe-
trate, by the demolition of the chapel, a suicidal deed of
never-dying infamy. _.(Hear.) It shed a halo round the
metropolis, and would not the citizens rally round that
venerable fabric? He knew they would.—(Cheers.) If
a stranger, learned in the arts and admiring the works
of genius, were to visit this vast metropolis, and view
that edifice so famed for its beauty, and magnificent in its
simplicity, after his first emotion of rapture had died
away, the second feeling that would arise would be that
the parish was proud of so noble an object, and would
watch over its preservation with jealousy and care. But
what would not be his stupefaction and horror if he at.
;ended the vestry meeting, and heard the barbarian yells
that were raised against it ?—(Great cheers.) These yells,
it was true, were raised by a few who were swayed by
I their own interests, and deluded a few of the poor and the
ignorant. Yet there had been a blot burned into the
character of the parish, and lie hoped it would yet undo
the evil that it hail nearly done. He did not imagine there
was one part of the city so sunk in barbarism, so dead to
elegance, so unvisited by one ray of improvement, as to
entertain the foul and monstrous proposition of demolish-
ing a structure that outrivals iu beauty most of the works
of ancient and modern times..—(Cheers.) The parish
should recollect that it was endeared to them by old and
honourable associations. When Henry VIII. laid hie
grasp on all the religious edifices of the country, the
parish of St. Saviour, with a noble zeal, came forward
and purchased their church. It was said that the pro-
position of destroying the chapel emanated from the Lon-
don-bridge Committee. He could never believe that the
public guardians of so noble a monument as that bridge
could seriously evince such an utter want of decency and
taste—such an instance of modern vandalism—cowd pro-
claim themselves such barbarians and fanatics as to pros-
trate one of the finest productions of genius and art that
the empire could boast of.—(Cheers.) The men who ad-
vocated the dilapidation of the chapel acted in their proper
character. Their ledger was their sole book of knowledge.
Their selfish and sordid views were conined to the count-
ing-house. Could mesa who had not the natural percep-
tion of sounds judge the melody of music? Could the
jaundiced rye see the beauty of colours ?—.(Cheers.) tie
would call on the meeting by their respect for the ♦irtues
of the mighty dead,—lay the love of their institutions of
the country,—by their admiration of genius,--by their
anxiety for the honour and reputation of their country,.—
by their attachment to justice, and their scorn of calcu-
listing and griping selfishness, vigorously to defeat the
machinations of those spoliators.—(Loud cheering.) The
Hon. Gentleman moved a resolution, expressivesi of the
propriety of preserving the ancient relics of architecture
now remaining in the country.
Mr. FARMER seconded the motion.

Mr. Carrnrcuam, architect, who war engaged in the
restoration of various cathedrals, and some of the finest
ecclesiastical edifice, of the country, entered into a long
and learned dissertation of the antiquities and beauty of
the building. He moved a resolution in praise of " our
Lady Chapel."

Mr. SWv.aca, architect, dwelt on the advantage of
preset ring the chapel, even as a model for students in archi-
tecture ; and showed its points of superiority over the
celebrated Temple church, which was of more modern date.
Mr. SA UNDERS said that the presence of such a vast
number of the respectable parishioners of St. Saviour's at
the meeting was a triumphant refutation of the assertion
that the parish was favourable to the destruction of the
chapel. The respectability of the parish was decidedly op.
posed to it.

Mr. Locire said the subject was enough to rouse every
one who took an interest in the honour and glory of the
country. It was not a question that merely affected the
parish, it belonged to the empire. A prejudice was in-
dustriously propagated by a party. It was weessary that
on Tuesday, when the final battle would lee fought at the
vestry meeting, that the friends of the measure of preser-
vation should go before the parishioners and show them
that the public would support them.—(Hear, hear.) The
Hun. Gentleman moved that a subscription be set on foot
to forward the object of the meeting.
Mr. WALLACE, Mr. Szu.s, and Mr. At,rric severally
addressed the meeting.
Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR said, that if the London-bridge
Committee ever had (which he did not believe) made the
demolition of the chapel a condition of their proposition,
they now retracted it.

Mr. F. ROBINSON moved the following resolution :
" That the warmest thanks of this meeting be given to
the Lord Bishop of the diocese of Winchester, for refusing
his assent to the demolition of the " Chapel of our Lady,"
on the incontrovertible ground that there is ueither.public
nor private necessity for the same; and that the noble
subscription which he has offered towards its restoration
must endear !m to every friend of science and literature
in the kingdom."
Mr. SYDNEY TAYLOR seconded the resolution.
Mr. G. WOODFALL moved the following resolution:—
" That the thanks of this meeting be given to the public
press for the able and efficient manner in which it has ad-
vocated the restoration of the ' Chapel of our Lady,' be-
longing to the church of St. Saviour's, Southwark ; and
it is hereby earnestly requested to continue its exertions in
the same cause, and thereby prevent the aceotnplishtnent of
a project which will deprive the metropolis of one of its
most beautiful ornaments, awl the borough of Southwark
of one of its proudest boasts."

Mr. J. B. NICHOLS moved, and Mr. ETTY, R.A., se-
conded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Saunders for his exertions
in this matter.—Carried by acclamation, and the meeting
separated.

We may net at present enter at any length
upon a subject of the highest importance as regards the
succession to the Crown of these realms; but we may
venture to state, that there is every probability to believe,
that the country will yet be blessed with an heir apparent
to the Throne,--John 11u11.—[We may venture to state
that this is another of the false reports got up for certain po-
litical purposes; but it won't do—the Peers will be made
notwithstanding.—En, Suw.]

We are informed Mr. NATHANIEL W:
SYMONii, agent to the Rotterdam Steunk Company, has
been appointed Secret:ay to the General Ship Owners'
Society.

LIVERPOOL AND BIRMINGHAM RAlL-
way.--The adjourned general meeting of the subscribers
to this undertaking was held at the Clarendon Rooms, on
Wednesday last, J. Moss, Esq. in the Grain A report
on the state and prospects of the Company was read by
Mr. CLAY. It stated, that according to the most moderate
computation, the railway is likely to yield a profit of 11
per cent. on the capital expended in its formation, and
that a sufficient number of shares to enable the Cam-
pany to go to Parliament mit Session, has already been
subscribed for. The propriety of then applying for an
Act, or deferring it till the succeeding Session,
however, left to the decision of the Committee. A Com-
mittee of twelve gentlemen belonginz to Liverpool and
Birmingham to manage the general alnirs of the Com-
pany, and superintend the formation of the new line,
was appointed. The line now proposed will for in a con-
tinuation of the Liverpool and Manchester railway, from
Warrington to Birmingham, and it is estimated that by
this tkrrhngement, which must be highly advantegeous to
ald parties, an expenditure of at least half a million ster-
ling will be saved. Is was resolved that the subscriptions
now due should be paid up by the Sri of February, and
that persons holding shares shall be allowed to increase the
number one-half, on paying the sum of 2/. Ss, per share-
Tbe statements made appeared to be perfectly satisfactory
to the shareholders, and they separated with the beet hopes
as to the successful completion of this truly important
u ndertaking. —.Liverpool Chronicle.
