MEETING AT CARLISLE, MAY 17.

One of the most numerous meetings ever held in Carlisle
took place this afternoon, to take into consideration the pre-
sent awful crisis of our country's affairs. All the most respect-
able gentlemen and tradesmen in the city assembled at Mr.
Gray's Coffee-house, a little before one o'clock, and soon after.
wards proceeded in procession to the Swifts, where commodious
hustings had been erected, accompanied by a band of music
and about a dozen banners, bearing different mottoes. One or
two of the flags had crape attached to them ; and one flag,
on which had been inscribed " Our Patriotic King and his
honest Ministers," had the words " Patriot King" marked out
with black paint. John Dixon, Esq. was called to the Chair,
and the following resolutions were moved and seconded by
Robert Mounsey, Esq., John Connell, Esq., Henry Pearson,
Esq., Peter I)ixon, Esq., Joseph Ferguson, Esq., George Star-
buck, Esq., Mr. Beadle, Mr. R. Dixon, Mr. Carrick, Mr.
A. Elliott, &c., and were carried unanimously, amidst loud
cheering :

" That this meeting has heard with dismay and indignation

that the House of Lords has defeated his Majesty's Ministers in
their intention to carry a Bill for the Reform of Parliament, on
which the people had placed their affections, and which they
believed in an eminent degree calculated to promote the best
interests of the country, and to put an end to that system of cor-
ruption and profligate expenditure of which they have so long
and so justly complained.
" That the dismissal of Earl Grey and his colleagues from
office created the strongest feelings of alarm for the future
peace of this country ; believing, as this meeting does, that a
less efficient measure of Reform than that proposed by his
Majesty's Ministers will not, and ought not, to be accepted by
the people.

"That, in the present state of the country, this meeting
deems it an imperative duty to call upon the representatives of
the people to withhold all supplies from the Government, until
a measure of Reform fully as efficient in all parts as that pro.
posed by Earl Grey has been made sure.
" That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby
offered to Earl Grey and his colleagues for their manly and
undeviating adherence to the principles of Reform on which
they accepted office ; and that we also present our thanks to
Sir James Graham, Mr. Blamire, Mr. James, and Mr. P. H.
Howard, for their constant and zealous support of the Bill
during its progress through the House of Commons.
" That a petition, founded upon the resolutions now passed,
be adopted and sent to Mr. James and Mr. Howard for presen.
tation to the House of Commons, and be signed by the Chair..
man on behalf of the meeting."
The speeches delivered on the occasion were all of the most
spirited desicription, and were most enthusiastically received.
There was certainly no sign of reaction.
The news of the restoration of Earl Grey to office was re-
ceived in Carlisle this morning, and diffused universal joy.

REFORM AND ANTI•REFORM MEETINGS

AT YORK, MAY 17.

On the arrival of The Sun newspaper , announcing the re-
signation of Ministers, the greatest possible excitement pre-
vailed througbout the city, and a great number of the most
respectable inhabitants requested the Lord Mayor to call an
early meeting, to petition his Majesty to retain his late Mini.
sters in office, &c., with which the Lord Mayor readily corn.
plied ; and many strong resolutions were passed, particularly
one requesting the House of Commons to stop the supplies in
the event of the Tories again coming into power. The Guild-
hall of the city was crammed to excess, and the resolution
received with deafening cheers.
In opposition to the above the Antis also called a meeting,
to be held at the George Inn, composed of parsons and lawyers,
and their articled clerks, in the whole about forty. I have sent
you their respective names, that the thing may speak for itself;
they were as follows : _

Their object was to get up in a snug way a petition to his
Majesty, expressing their admiration of his conduct in not
creating Peers.

The Antis were beyond their time in "gathering their force,"
and were not dispersed at the time the Reform party were on
their way home, and most of them having to pass the George,
and hearing the cheers of the Reverend Gentlemen, they made
free to look in upon them, when they found men placed at the
doors to prevent any persons unknown gaining access to the
room; but after a slight altercation they were admitted, and
then began the prelude for fun. The Reformers proposed three
cheers for Earl Grey, which were immediately given ; three
cheers for Reform; and three cheers for Lord Brougham and
the rest of the Ministers. To the no small irritation of the
priestly meeting, some one proposed three cheers for Welling-
ton, but they were drowned with groans. Captain Price (the
Chairman) immediately rose and declared the meeting at an end.
At night an immense number, about 3,000 respectable citi-
zens, assembled in the Market-place, and proceeded in proces-
sion through the principal streets with an effigy of the Arch-
bishop, from thence to Bishopthorpe, the residence of his
Grace, when they gave vent to their indignation at the Arch-
bishop's proceedings in the late debate in the House of Lords,
by dismal and hideous groans, and after burning his effigy,
they were returning home singing " Rule Britannia" in full
chorus, when one of the stragglers was taken into custody,
which getting to the ears of the principal body they returned,
and swore vengeance against Bishopthorpe and the Palace, the
windows of which were instantly broken, and most of the rails
which inclosed the Archbishop's pleasure-grounds were torn
up and burnt. After this they immediately determined on
paying Captain Price a nocturnal visit, whose house is situate
near the city ; after saluting him with sounds not of the most
pleasing kind, they bent their way to the city, where they met
the Lord Mayor and a party of the Sth Hussars, basing heard
by that time of the mischief done to the Palace, and his
prompt attention and humanity are beyond all praise—a man
who is a stanch Reformer, and much respected for the urbanity
of his disposition. After requesting them to go peaceably to
their homes, and telling them he was a Reformer as well as
themselves, they gave three cheers for Reform, and dispersed
without the least violence.
This proceeding, I trust, will convince the military dictator
that here, at least, there is no reaction. York, so famed for its
quiet and peaceai3le citizens, have now risen almost to a man,
determined to assert their rights, and pledged themselves to
try every constitutional means for their object, and loudly
complaining for the want of decency in their enemies.
The Archbishop of York, from last night's proceedings, will
learn that the inhabitants of this ancient and loyal city have

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 19 1832.

Ministers have at length triumphed, and the Re-
form Bill is safe. Let the Tory whirlwind rave
and whistle as it will ; all is idle now, the ship has
reached her haven. From the very first period of
the mooting of the great question, we felt assured
that this would be the case. We grounded our
conviction on the indomitable, the lion-like courage
of the British character. We knew, that win n united
in a just cause, the people were irresistible ; that
neither intrigue could overreach, bribery corrupt,
threats confound, nor bayonets put them down.
British enthusiasm is not easily roused ; but when
once roused, it strikes home to the point.
The Reform Bill, we repeat, is safe. "
domestic treachery—nothing can touch it further."
Earl GREY has been invested with ample powers by
his MAJESTY to carry it into law. The question,
therefore, is now merely one of time, and on this
point, us on every when, we have the most
satisfactory assurance from Ministers that it will he
passed with as little delay as possible. The
very Tories themselves admitted this, though
the admission was wrung from them, as though it
had been a place or a pension. In the House of Lords,
last night, the Duke of RUTLAND, judging from the
renour of his remarks, indirecly confessed that the
horrid Bill must soon become the law of the land.
Strange to tell, however, this great Duke's speech,
notwithstanding the occasion that called it forth,
overflowed with honey instead of gall, with praise
instead of vituperation. In the first place his Grace
was filled with deep-felt gratitude to the Illustri-
ous Prince on the Throne, who had proved himself
true descendant of the illustrious House of Bruns-
wick ;" secondly-, he was in ec.tacies of delight with
the Duke of WELLINGTON, " of whose heroic con-
duct he felt the most grateful admiration ;" thirdly,
He was convinced that the motives of Ministers
were based on pure, honourable, and patriotic
principles ;" fourthly, he was equally convinced that
no nation on earth equalled Englaed in the good
sense, intelligence, and moral worth of its inhabi-
tants ;" and lastly, he " felt grateful to Providence
for having placed him in a House of Lords which
had conducted itself in a manner so worthy of its
illustrious descent and position in the State." The

secret of all this sickening trash is, that his (Inlet
vas desirous " in this the last agony of his order,'
a show that his transcendant intellect alone wa•
juite sufficient to redeem it (and ought to do so) It
he eyes of all statesmen and scholars. For this put-
Jose he made one faulty quotation from MOORE, and.
econd still more faulty from SALLUST, thereh)
proving that he was as well acquainted will
be English poet as the Latin historian. Alas,
for his Grace of RUT[ AND ! His last night's effort—
clearly the result of much time and study, as its

rlaborate and far-fetched puerilities betokened it
every sentence—proves beyond all question that the
quantity of brains necessary to perfect the Tory
Duke are incomparably inferior to those requisite
to accomplish the Spitalfields weaver.
. .

. _
But if his Grace of RUTLAND MIS plaintive
and panegyrical, the Earl of CARNARVON wai all
hurricane and tempest ; an apt illustration of a
storm in a slop•basin. He spoke of conciliation
with the foam on his mouth. He enjoined decorum
with his hands clenched. He deprecated all warmth
with his eyes starting from his head. The" d—n
you, why don't you keep your temper, why don't
you be cool like me ?" of Sir Anthony Absolute,
was never more forcibly applied than in this instance
to Earl CARNARVON. If new Peers were created,
the Noble Earl would never enter the House of
Lords again. The dcmnfall of that 11,use would then
be certain— fixed as fate ; even now his Lordship wa•
"speaking the expiring language of British honour
in this country." Nobility in hysterics! Honour
in convulsions ! There's a picture for you ! And
the Noble Earl made it inexpressibly grotesque.
Oh, that CRUIKSHANK had been by to turn it to
account !

Poor Lord ELLENBOROUGH T We were sin-
gularly affected with the forlorn aspect of this
comely Baron. Adonis no longer wore a smile
on that sweet face, which has so often been
the envy of the beaux, and the admiration of
the belles of Brighton. His Lordship said nor
a word, scarcely even moved a limb, but sate
opposite his old place on the Treasury Bench, an
image of unutterable woe. We are greatly appre-
hensive that his Lordship entertains sad misgivings
fur the safety of his ten thousand per annum sinecure,
and we are not without our fears that his misgivings
are well-founded.

But not Lord CARMARVON—not Lord ELLENBO-
ROUGH alone are frantic, panic-stricken, the whole
clique is dumb-founded. They are down to a man,gro-
veiling in the dust. Their Troy is sacked, and in
ashes ; and nothing now remains for them to do, but
to write "fuit Ilium" on the few mouldering frag-
ments that survive.

Yet the Tories have fought the battle to the last,
with a courage and perseverance worthy of a better
cause. This praise, at least, we may concede
them ; though even this scanty meed of applause
must be qualified by the remark that their courage
has been fully equalled, if not surpassed, by their
obstinacy, and their perseverance by their malignity.
After blackening to the utmost extent offactious ran-
cour the motives of Ministers and the nation, they have
reserved their last drop of venom for the Press. They
expire in strong convulsions with the words " base
Press" on their lips. Fortunate, most fortunate do
we esteem ourselves in having thus earned the full,
deadly hatred of the basest—the blackest—the
most anti-national faction that ever yet assumed the
form and attributes of man, and dishonoured the
name of Briton. It is the proudest tribute to our
worth that ever yet was paid us. It is an express,
unqualified acknowledgment from our bitterest foes,
that we have fought the good fight with courage,
integrity, perseverance, and success. The next
grand consolation to being respected by an honest
man, is to be detested by a rogue.
But we have not yet done with the Tories. They
have claims on the attention of the country which
will not be readily forgone. There is a Pension
List to be looked into—legal and colonial sinecures
to be curtailed or rescinded—sundry Lord Lieu-
tenancies to be improved—military appointments
(above all, the Commandership-in-Chief) to be al-
tered—tithe exactions to be ameliorated—spiritual
magistracies, and episcopal pluralities to be re-
modelled;—all these, together with a thousand other
monstrous abuses, must first be subjected to the ri-
gid examination of a Reformed Parliament, before the
nation can cry quits with the Tories.

An express has arrived from Paris, bringing the
French Three per Cents. 70f., which is a conside-
rable improvement on the last prices. Great j. y
was expressed in the above capital on Earl GREY
being reinstated in office. The Presidency of the
Council was offered to AUGUST IN PERIER, brother
to the deceased, who, there is no doubt, will pursue
the same line of politics as his brother.

German Papers have been received; they contain
nothing of any general interest.

SPANISH REFUGEES.-It gives US great
pleasure to announce, that the Coburg Theatre is to be open
on Wednesday next, the ✓3d instant, for the benefit of the
Spanish Refugees. These unfortunate exiles, without any
assistance from any English institution, unable to find any
lucrative employment, and deprived of all support from their
own country, or power of returning to it, are literally starving
for want. The small pittance which some of them received
from the English Government has been withdrawn since 1830,
and they are now left absolutely destitute. The number who
look to the proceeds of the Theatre ox Wednesday next for
the means of purchasing a morsel of bread and some necessary
raiment, amounts to thirty-three families. We hope that this
appeal in their favour will not be made in vain ; and many
whose avocations will not allow them to enjoy the pleasure of
theatrical entertainment, will at least enjoy the delight of a
charitable heart by purchasing tickets of admission.

A true bill was yesterday found by the Grand
Jury of the county of Middlesex, at Hi...ss's-hall, against Mary
Ann Dyer, Elizabeth Dyer (her mother), and Henry Masters,
late footman to Mr. James Montagu, for a conspiracy against
that gentleman.

On Friday last, a very serious accident occurred
to a young woman, named Rebecca James, at Messrs. Walker's
Percussian-cap Manufactory, 12, Legge-street, Birmingham, by
an explosion of a small quantity of percussion-powder. The
above-named female was employed in working the priming_
machine, when, by some unknown cause, the percussion-powder
exploded, and she was dreadfully wounded. Fortunately there
was very little powder in the priming-shop, or the whole pre-
mises would have been blown to atoms. Much to the credit
of Messrs. Walker, they have taken the unfortunate young
woman into their own house, procured for her the best surgical
aid, and have paid her, in every respect, the kindest attention,
insomuch that their servant is now said to be out of danger.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.--The effect
here of the announcement of Earl Grey's recall was as extra_
ordinary as the announcement of his resignation. On Tues-
day, our. last market day, all business was at a stand, and peo-
ple were running about asking what was to be done next, or
forming associations for a systematic oppositi.on to a military,
government. To-day business has been resumed, the streets
have resumed their usual appearance; and, to a stranger, there
would appear nothing novel, but a rather more than ordinary
warmth of hand-shaking when acquaintances meet, who happen
not to have seen each other since the news arrived. At nume-
rous and highly respectable meetings in the adjoining large
towns, last night, the intelligence was received with loud and
enthusiastic shouts.
