A rACT.—As truth may never be refused
right in THE Sus, the- following will raise the
beholder's surprize, after wilt he has read on a
late Occasion :

which was a Bill in the House of Lords for a Divorce on the

they intended to examine on his bylialf to the Dimi-ess or her
Agents, together with the places of their abode.—(Haa-
ottavE3' State Trials, fol. vol. v. p. 239.)

the Hebe, now in this port, bound to New South

INTENDED SHEFFIELD MEETING.--There is a
most angry feeling between the opposite parties
in politics in this place, which, it is much feared,
will lead to unpleasant consequences. A requi-
sition, signed by 55 of the most opulent and re-
spectable inhabitants, was last week presented
to the Magistrates, requesting them to call a
Meeting of the Inhabitants, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the propriety of pre-
senting an Address of Congratulation toiler MA-
JESTY, and deprecating the proceedings going on
against her. The Magistrates, however, refused
to read or receive the requisition ; neither would
they give their assent for the use of the Town-
hail for the occasion. The latter, however, be-
ing public property, the requisitionists deter-
mined to call a general meeting of the inhabi-
tants for to-morrow (the 9th), and passed an
unanimous resolution to hold it in the Town-hall,
and nowhere else. The opposite party are all on
the alert, and are determined to shut the Meet-
ing out of the Town-hall, if possible ; and, if
unsuccessful in this, they mean to propose a set
of counter-resolutions, in order to defeat the ob-
ject of the meeting. In this state of things,
much uproar and confusion are expected. Both
Lord MILTON and STUART WORTLEY, Esq. are
now here ; but it is not supposed that either of
them will attend the Meeting to-morrow.—
