cluedun, Foxamith, Shenley, Perusal, and Aldred, seve-
rally addressed the meeting. All implored the people to be

dence of the parishioners in Ministers, end ho;.ing it would

preserving the country from rorolution. A accord address
was then carried unanimnusly to Earl Grey, expressive of
approbation of his conduct and that of his coadjtnors, and
earnestly solicitirg them to continue in office for the benefit
pf an unanimous people. The cheers were than given for
the King, three for reform, and three tretnendous groans
for the boroughtnongers and the bishops ! In con esquer.ce
of the vestry-toorn, hall, and staircase, not being sufficient
to contain a quarter of the meeting, an adjournment took
place to die church-yard, where upwards of 2,000 persons
soon presented themselves. The meeting was perfectly or-
derly and decorous.
Serreietneens.--The east end of the town, particularly
the Spitallielde district, yesterday presented a somewhat
singular and gloomy appearance. At almost every shcp,
three fourths of the shutters were up, to indicate the S.el.
logs of the tradesmen as to the rejection of the hill. At a
coffee shop, in Wick-lane, there was suspended from a :font
window a large black flag wills a deep crape border, in the
centre of which were the following words, in deep crimson
letters: " The Reform Bill lost by a majority of 41 80.
ruughinongers." The most orderly and peaceable enntl..ct
was observed. About one thousand Spitalfichls weavers nice
in the fiednial.green-road--• weaver, named Royston, in the
Chair, when resolutions were adopted similar to those at
meetings of a like nature. The greatest order prevailed.
CLZREiIIWZI.L.-- Last night a numerous meeting of the
inhabitants of the parish took place al the Northumberland
Arms Tavern, Clerkenwell.green— tele Whipple in the
Chair. Mr. Powell, Mr. Const, Dr. Swain, Dr. Morgan,
Mr. Wakeling, Mr. Cape, and Mr. Harris, proposed and
seconded a string of Resolutions, expressive of confidence In
I his Majesty's Ministers, indignation against the Spiritual
/ Peers fur their conduct in voting against the *mad reading
/ of the Reform Bill ; after which an Address to his 31sjesty,
• praying him to create new Peers, was agreed to.
I S. Luer's.—The proceedings of this parish were dis-
t tingulshed by the same unaciruity and enthusiasm which
pervaded the other parishes. A Meeting took place—Rev.
Dr. Rice in the Chide—at which various appropriate Ono-
; Intim, were agreed to.
Donors Orr. 9.-1 communicate to you the particulars
of the uofortuuate circumstances that have transpired here,
in coneetswestee qj the rejection of the reforms bid. About a
!quarter-past seven yesterday evening, an express arrived.
bringing the unwelcome tidings. Diappointment and
'doom were generally depicted on the countenances of the in.
habitants, and the bells of the different churches were rung
; with mourning peal., till nearly 3in the morning. It is the
prevailing opinion, that these evidences of dejection and din.
appointed hope would have been the only demonstration of
feeling that would have been displayed, and that the peace
of the town would have been preserved, bad not so un-
called.for and insulting ebullition of joy and triumph
, manifested itself on the part of a few anti-reformers,
! who, it is stated, commenced cheering in front of Mr
Benue:sec's shop in the Market-place, for the glorious majority
of 41. This, as a natural consequence, produced a dispos-
tion to retaliate on the part of 'the people, who had congre-
I gated In large nuraben, waiting with breathless anxiety the
confirmation of the intelligence by the evening coach. .I'lley
commenced by demolishing the windows of Mr. &ninny's,
the bookseller, where the anti.reforni petitiou had lain for
signatures; after which they proceeded to demolish the
windows and premises of many other persons who had shown
themselves the most decidedly inimical to reform. Among
the houses that have suffered the most, are those of the Rev.
C. 8. Hope, the late Mayor, Sir. Paton, Surgeon ; Mr. H.
Mosley, printer, whose son had sent information to Lord
Londonderry, casting obloquy on the petitioners for reform in,
this borough; Mr. Lakin' Market-place ; Mr. Bainbridge.
surgeon; Mr. John Harrison,r. Thomas Cox, ac.
ilarkeatoa and Chaddesden-halls shared the same tate.
12 o'clock.—The town is in a dreadful state of extiteniew.
A large body of people have broken open the borough gaol,
and liberated all the prisoners' because two of the window
breakers had been committed. After demolishing every
window, they proceeded in countless numbers to the county
prison. Many shots were fired upon them from the tweets,
and one person is killed, and many wounded.
AZOTHRA LITTZA.--SOZDAT MuItWING, OCT. 9.
I was interrupted in writing to you last night by the
most dreadful yells, followed by the noise of violence, and on
going to the end of the street, found an immense concourse
of people collects' in front of Idosley's house. After an
hour's crashing and shouting, every pal e of glass in the
windows was broken and demolished. The news arrived in
Derby of the Rejection of the Bill by 6 o'clock. The mob
have demolished the (tont of Mr. Hope's house, as well as
the anti.reform baolueller, Bemrose, in the Market-pi ice :
and have much injured Mr. Liken, the town-deft, as ru put
his life in danger. The mob afterwards went to Mr.
blundy's, at blarkeaton, and, I hear, have not only de.
suoyed the glass, but injured his property materially. They
afterwards went to Chaddesden, and committed the same
injury to the property of the family of Wilmot. The dis-
turbances are still going on. The town goal has been sroken
open, and a complete escape of the prisoners taken place,
and /be mob are now attacking the county goal, which a
small part of the police are defending: they have fired front
the roof, and killed one man, and wounded several others.
The postscript of another letter, dated at 4 p. m. adds:—
The attack on the county goal for the present has failed, and
the assailants have retired, with the loss of several killed and
wounded. There were no military within the prison or in
the immediate neighbourhood. It is expected that the
attack will be renewed in the course of the night ; but as
the post is now leaving, there le not tune to add more.
I MEETING AT THZ 110TUNDA.— A great meeting was
held last night of the working classes at the Rotunda, called
together by friends of Mr. H to.t, whose object it was to lay
; before this portion of the London population, an address
front the same classes at Blackburn, tele:live to Mr. I lutit'a
return foe Preston ; to a proposition fur electing O'Ounitan
Mahon, in place of Mr. Wood; and to obtain a county:
, declaration on the saute subjects to the men of. Blackburn.
I The announcement timed excited expectation, because it wail
supposed that it had reference to time rejection of the Reform
I Bill; but that subject was only incidentally glanced
Mr. Hunt, on taking the chair, spoke fur two hours and
twenty minutes in severe criticism of the measures of the
%nag Atinduistratio.., expressing the mule leatherette which
he :afterward* repeated in the House of Commons. He
lbw vacated the chair to Mr. French, and the die-
cessions at the CAL of the lfbigs, were etneinued
till a late hour. The Natio:till Union—a distinct
body--whese excellent declaration we published yesterday,
and which exp.esses its confidertee in a Patriot King and
his 3liiiisters, have announced a fleeting of the Working
Classes at the same place fur to-morrow evesin for the
purpose of addressing his 3lujesty. The buildeng was
crowded to seff 'cation, and there were more withuut than
within. On leaving the Meet tag, Mr. litter was cheered.
WU an attempt made to take the horses from his carriage,
but opposed by the Police, which led to the only scale in
that vicwity.
The Cierkentrell Ref Orm Union adopted yesterday
similar resolut:ons to muse passed at the great
bonne meeting. The petiirsti reqoests the King to male as
many Peers es he may see fit, in order to can rue lull. A
