DEAL, Oct. 13.—His Majesty's ship, Barham,
which arrived yestenlay afternoon from Cork, sailed again
this morning for Spithead ; shc was one of the ships that
were to have formed pert of the squadron in the Downs.
Th.: Tweed, corvette, which also arrived for the rune pur-
pose, would likewise have sailed for the same port. but rc.l
ceived some damage in the course of the niqiit by an Ame-
dean ship getting atwart her; it I expected she will sail
the next tide, as lice damages are made good. The Chs-1
rybdii, 10 gun brig, alto arrived early, a.:(1 has sailed for
Spithead. The Rzrtuge, 74, and Galatea, frigat: are
hourly expected to arrive, unlessdray fail in v.-ith either of
the above vessels, :n acquint them with counta orders.

At twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, the

PUBLIC FEELLNG.
NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
The last communication, respecting the Ime
events, closed with the conflagration of the castle
at Nottingham, the property of the Duke of New-
castle. This ancient and lofty pd., Wai erected
about 150 years since on the summit of a stupen-
dons rock, by an ancestor of his ptee.ent Grace,
and cost at that period nearly 25,0001. Nothing
but the outside of this immense edifice, which is of
stone, now remains.

The Castle wa3 net inhabited, nor was any fur.
niture on the premises at the time—it W 39 con.
*timed, nevertlolcss; it burnt riost rapidly, as t!.
wood-work was exceeaiugly dry, and one room
finished with cedar. The tapestry in several (,f
the rooms was beautiful.

Oa Tuesday the troops again perambulated the
town, but the spirit of incendiarism was abroad,
and, dreadful to relate, a party assembled at tl,
silk-mill of Mr. Lowe, at Beeston, near Netting.
ham. Here they ransacked the premises, and
then set fire to the same, which was totally con-
sumed, together with the overloakcr's house ; the
premises are supposed to have been worth, includ-
ing the machinery, silk, &c. nearly 15,0001. Up-
wards of 300 hands are thrown out of employment
by this sad catastrophe.
More than twenty persons are in custody charged
with various offences. The magistrates and the
military are indefatigable ; and the town, after
dusk, presents a gloomy appearance. All the ave-
nues in the Market-place are comple:ely boarded
up, and the shopkeepers close their business at
dark. The clattering of the horses' feet of the
15th hussars gives the scene a solemn appearance.
Two or three persons were shot on Tuesday, and
one, we hear, is dead ; he is a pensioner, and
was shot through the breast by one of the obi•
cern. No mischief has been done during this day,
and peace, it is hoped, will soon be restored ;
nevertheless, at this moment, half past ten o'clock,
a large fire is perceived in the neighbourhood of
Plumptree, about six miles distant, raging with
considerable fury !

In pursuance of a numerously-signed requisi-
tion, a p..blic meeting of the MERCHANTS,
BANKERS, and TIIA HERS of the CITY of
LONDON, was held at one o'clock yesterday, in
the Egyptian-hall, Mansion-house.
The GM!) MAYOR in taking the chair, said lie
had great pleasure in calling the present meeting,
in order that the merchants, bankers, and traders
of the city might declare their continued confidence
in his Majesty's Ministers, and their increasing
and undiminished interest in favour of that great
measure, their zeal for which they had on former
occasions unequivocally expressed.
Mr. Psscoe Gazureee rose to move the first
resolution. It was three weeks since he had the
honour of meeting a body of gentlemen in that
Hall, of the same character as those now present,
whose object then was to give expression to their
feelings and their wishes for the success of Lord
John Russell's bill, which had then been sent from
the House of Commons to the House of Lords;
he then little expected he should have again to
meet th‘m—still less that he should have to mer
them upon the rejection by the House of Lords of
that bill to which the country had been so much
attached.—(Cheers.) He could not have conceived
it possible, until the present period, that the
House of Lords would have been so unmindful
of what they owed to that community of which
they were a component part, and of which they
were hereditary legislators—so regardless of what
they owed to the country, to themselves, and to
their own dignity, in defiance of the wishes and
utianimons feelings of the King and his people; in
opposition to the wishes and recorded votes of the
House of Commons, who bad at that moment car-
ried the bill to the bar of the lords on the shoul-
ders of the people. He could not, he repeated,
have conceived it possible that they would have
been so unwise, he might say insane, as to reject
that bill of the people's choice. It had been rejected
by 199 Peers, who were hereditary legislators, it
was true, but though hereditary, they might be
very incapable of legislating ; for although a man
might inherit his father's estate, he could not inherit
his father's wisdom. The 158 who supported the
Bill comprised the greatest portion of talent, wealth
and resFectability of the house. Look at the two lists
of the persons of whom they were composed. Among
the 199 he found there were 21 noble lords who
were proprietors of rotten boroughs, or, not to be
offensive, nomination boroughs. Now it would
have been no excess of delicacy or of proper feel-
ing if those 21 persons, who bad so direct an inte-
rest in the maintenance of the rotten borough sys-
tem, had abstained hem voting altogether. Again,
among the 199 peers, he found the same number
of bishops, via. 21. Far be it from him to say
any thing disrespectful of that right reverend body;
at the same time he must say, that it was generally
understood to be the practice of the bishops to
range themselves on the side of the Government,
and frequent instances had happened of the
King and his Ministers having brought forward
measures which the people thought were unjust,
and, in all those, the Bishops supported the mea-
sures of the Government. On this occasion,
however, the Bishops had taken a different course,
and arrayed themselves in opposition to the Ring.
his Ministers, the House of Commons, and the
People of England. It would ill become him (Mr.
Grenfell) to attribute motives to that Reverend
body, but it was possible that in contemplating
a measure which would give the people a Re-
formed Parliament, they thought that that Re-
formed Parliament might make a Reform in the
Church. (Immense cheering) That was possible,
but be would not pretend to impute to the Pre-
Wes what their motives were. If then twenty-
one Prelates instead of voting against the Bill had
voted for it, the Bill would have been carried; or
if the twenty-one Bishops and the twenty-one
Noble Lards who had a direct interest in the no-
mination system, bad abstained from voting alto-
gether, there would have been the exact majority
of one in favour of it. After a few observations
upon the impropriety of the Peers interfering In
the construction of the House of Commons, alt.

tor the adoption or the meeting the second reso-
:.:tion:—.

That t:tough greatly di/appointed by so untoward a re.

Mir:stas, and rely implicitly on their seal, and firmness of

,ny abandonment of its principles or leading provisions."
Mr. Tool: z Lad great pleasure iu seconding
!tat resolution. The disappointment now abroad
:oughout the country was great, as every one
;;Lew, but circumstances were such, that that die-
..prointment was not likely to end in despair.
The ration still felt confidence in the patriotic dis-
cositiou of our Sovereign and of his enlightened,
tktermined, unaitiching, and zealous Admi-
Lit4tration.—(Lond cheers.)
GEORGE GROTE, Esq. moved the third resolu-
tien, which was to the following effect :
That this !fleeting confidently hope that his Maj:sty
slit employ every requisite means which the Constitution
adiiiits for the accomplishment of this important object, in.
dispensable both to the permanent good goremment, and to

which was seconded oy GEORGE NORMAN, Esq.

The meeting then broke up, with three times
three cheers for the King.
YORK COUNTY MEETING--A meeting of the
county of TorL took place on Monday, in the Castle

The greatest harmony prevailed Lt the meeting, and but
the feeling seemed to pervade all classes.
Lord MILTON came forward and proposed that Sir
Francis Lindley Wood do take the chair. (Gress cheering.)
The CHAIN/lAN then presented himself, amidst loud

LOId MILTON said, it is with great cordiality that I have
made up my mind in favour of the address which has been
moved and seconded b/ Mr. Fawkes and Mr. Herbert; Lut,
Utitough it was necessary on this occasion to propose to ap-
proach the Sovereign ID those terms which his patriotism
demands of you, your duty will not be fulfilled if you stop
there. You have another duty to perform. It is your duty,
nte tie leave to say, that you should agr.in impress upo.i

conflicted, the necessity which, in your o:iinioo. exists, of
Ifein recurring to that great question which has beta unfor.
