Yesterday the inhabitant householders of St. Andrew, „!.
born, assembled in their new Inquest Room, son eably to
advertisement, for the purpose of " supporting the King end
his Ministers in the great question of Parliamentary Reiter.;
The room, which will hold about 500 persons, was crowc:rd
to an overflow, and even the landing and the stain were
filled, whilst great numbers who did not arrive before ti.,.
appointed hour, went away unable to obtain admission. Mr.
Blackmore, the senior churchwarden, was called !o the chair,
Mr. Hill (the Barrister), Dr. Boa ring, Messrs. Harmer aid
Taylor, of the Common Council, aneseveral other speakm.
addressed the meeting; and resolutions, expressive of 66
gratitude to the King, and their entire satisfactiou at th •
plan of reform proposed by his Ministers, were clrricil by
acclamation ; as was also a petition to the Parliament, t:.
be presented by Lord John Russell to the House cf Cow.
mons that evening, praying that the plan of reform proposed
by his Majesty's Ministers might pass into a law.
The following is an extract of a letter from Liverpool,
received last night:—" LIvF.RPOOL, Wednesday.—There
never was, on any former occasion, so much heartfelt satis-
faction experienced in this town, on the announcement of
the Ministers' intended measures of reform. The informa-
tion reached here at half-past two o'clock, by express, and
was publicly read aloud in the mercantile room of the Er..
change, to a large assemblage. and was received with accla-
mations— long and hearty and reiterated cheers. Indeed
it appears io have given us all new faces ; for we sr,e nothing
but smiling and shaking of hands in congratulation. on the
prospect of the happy change that our country will exre-
deuce from this wise measure of our beloved Monarch's
Ministers. With a popular and beloved King sattctiening
the liberal measures of a patriotic and enlightened Ministiy,
granting freedom and extending privileges to his loyal sub-
jects, we have nothing to fear, and we may henceforward
look for comfmt and satisfaction at home, and resfect
abroad ; for this will be a united nation, that will interfere
with none, nor will suffer any to interfere with it.
It is with
grateful feelings that we learn, by numerous
private letters received yesterday in the metropolis, from
leading country reformers of station, property, and influence,
that the ministerial reform measure has given universal satis-
faction, being hailed as a rescue from revolution. All minor
and opinionative differences are lost in the coati letem s, of the
dethronement of the borouglunongers. Great confidence is
placed in the honesty of the Ministry. They have based
themselves on the pedestal of the people, and the people
will uphold them. We are equally gratified to know that
his Majesty is true to his patriotic colours : as a British
Admiral, he will " nail his flag to the mast-head." The
expiration of the annual Mutiny bill is cunningly circulated
as a manoeuvre to " break the line" of the Royal Preroga-
tive, should the Ministerial alternative become necessary.
Mutiny bills, or no Mutiny bills, will not avail Ca) Boron&
mongers ; we are safe with the King, his Ministers, his
Soldiers, and hie People.— Chrtmick.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.--TIIIS DA V.—At
noon this day, a Court of Common Council was held, for
the purpose of supporting Ministers, in carrying the grand
question of Reform. Mr. SLADE addressed the meeting in
an animated speech, expressing his belief, that the measure
of his Majesty's Ministers was the only, and true means
of restoring the country to a state of prosperity. He
proposed an address to his Majesty, expressive of the
gratitude and admiration of the meeting of the conduct of his
Ministers. Mr. SLA DR was followed by Mr. LEDGER, who
congratulated the mover of the resolutions, and the meeting,
on having lived to see the " day of promise ;" and then se-
conded the resolutions. Several gentlemen were expected
to address the meeting ; and from the temper of the Court,
no doubt exists of the resolutions being carried by a large
majority, if not unanimously.
Sr. CLaMENT DANES.—A highly respectable meeting of
the inhabitant householders of this parish was held in the
Vestry-room this day, with the view of streugthenhsg the
measures of the present Administration, in the grand plan
of Parliamentary Reform— M• . M t. ao nN E, the senior
churchwarden, in the Chair; when Mr. MAson proposed,

by Lord Jowl RUSSELL this evening in the House of
Commons, imploring the Honourable House to pass the
Government plan of Parliamentary Reform into a law.

Parliament to pass the great measure of Reform, which the
kingdom at large, and the inhabitants of Westminster in
particular, had, for the last half century, been struggling to

hope, but on the certainty of obtaining their wishes, if they
