, The. House of Peers -Vvas engaged for a consi-
derable time last night in recehing Petitions
from various quarters. -Sonic rayed that no fur-
"ther measures might ~be adopted against the
Queen, and thus unintentionally: admitted that
sufficient grounds had been established to justify
an apprehension amongst her friends, that new
Proceedings might fairly be instituted. - Others
complained ot the conduct of Sheriffs, in refusing
to comply with factious requisitions to call County
Aleoltings; or in interferhic- With their manave-

important part of the whole business was, the an-
fonntement by the Earl Of LlYerpool, in reply to
a question put by Lard Grey, that he would

ni'g'ht :n the House of Peers on the conduct of
those SLer'itiTof Countis; who had either
refused to ctill County Meetings, when the object

the Liturgy, -and-to ,9147 e—her all her other rights.
The High Sheriffs of Kent and Cheshire werepar-
ticularly mentioned ; and Lord Grosvenor inti-
mated' his intention of obtaining the strictest in-
quiry into the conduct of the latter, at the late
Meeting in-Chester, where his Lordship moved a
cotinter Address".

[Morning Chroo,isie.]
The Hole 'and Corner Alm, stung with the
coniPlete failure of the project 'to which they
fent themsaves, and the reproaches iof The Cou-
rier and other Ministerial Papers at their supine-
ness and want •of spirit in not mak*r-/the-ir ap-
pearance-at-Public Meetings, but unable to. stem
the ovhrwhehninr torrent of public opinion., have
for some time past appeared more like. rabid
animals than rational creatures. While the men
to 'whom 'they oppose themselves have every
where distingnished themselves by their calm
and manly behabiour, and their desire of fair
discussion, these disappointed and infuriated per-
sons distinctly avow, by their conduct, that they
