PUBLIC FEELING.

The leading in all the parishes at the eastern part
of the metro were busily employed the whole of yester.
day in making preparations to support the Bing and his Mi.
nisters in the present emergency. At an early hour, the news.
shops were literally besieged, and such was the demand foe
papers, that before nine o'clock half-a-crown each was offered
and refused for numbers. A great many private houses were
closed, and a variety of placards exhibited, expressive of the
abhorrence and detestation with which their authors viewed
the decision of the Lords. The following's a sample :—" In
mourning for the 199 turbulent, factious, and misguided
men, who committed political suicide yesterday morning."
As a proof the excitement occasioned by the rejection of
the reform bill, there is no person " who had ears to hear"
who did not hear, on Saturday and yesterday, as he walked
the public streets in every part of the metropolis, comments
of a serious nature on the disappointment of the public. In
St. James's park yesterday every bench was occupied by in-
dividuals reading to others the debate of Friday night, who
devoured with " greedy ear" the speeches of Lords Brough-
am and Orey, and whose remarks were a proof of the rapid
march of intelligence, the contempt which the people have
for a desperate faction, whose last expiring effort has given
a Anishing blow to their arrogance and insolence.
As soon as the news arrived of the fate of the reform
bill, a meeting took place of the members of the Chink.
burst Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry (commanded by Visoonni
Sydney), residing at Woolwich and Greenwich, when they
came to the resolution of immediately sending in their re-
signation, together with their arms and accoutrements, as
they could not consistently continue under the command
of an anti-reformer.

In consequence of the rejection of the reform bill in
the House of Lords, the members of the Court of Common
Coma held a meeting in the Council Chamber, Guild-
hall, on Saturday evening, in pursuance of a requisition to
the Lord Mayor, to take such measures in the present
crisis as might be deemed expedient. The Lord Mayor
took the chair. Mr. Wears moved that the resolu-
tions be read. They were expressive of regret at
the rejection of the reform bill, and It was resolved to
address the King, expressive of their unabated attach-
ment to his Majesty. their confidence in his Ministers, and
recommending the adoption of measures fur carrying a Re-
form Bill into effect.—Mr. Taylor seconded the resolutions.
He felt confident that the people of England would receive
the rejection of the Bill with calmness.—Mr. Thornhill pro-
' the second resolution.— Mr. Pritchard said that as the
Melton Council had the privilege of approaching the
Throne, be would move that the Court should approach the
Throne with an Address embodying the sentiments they had
expressed that day. He concluded by moving that an Ad-
dles' be taken up to the Throne expressive of the feelings of
the Council. It was seconded and agreed to. A Deputation
was then appointed to draw up an Address to the Brno,
which was subsequently agreed to, and thanks being voted to
the Lord Mayor, the meeting adjourned.—See Adverlim.

TUB Re-acTiott.".....The greatest activity has been
displayed, since the fate of the Bill was made known, by
influential persons in various districts of the metropolis, to
support the King and his Minister in the great measure
of Reform. Throughout Saturday, and up to a late ►our on
Sunday night, delegates from vatious parishes and publl
bodies have been in communication with each other. A
general determination seems to prevail:throughout all districts
to set apart Wednesday next for the discharge of the great
political duty which now devolves upon the inhabi:ants of the
metropolis, to suspend all builness on that day, and to ac.
company, in person, the deputations which will, on
that day, bear addresses to the foot of the Throne. This is
the intention of the great parishes of Mary-le.bonne, Pan.
eras, St. Giles, &. George, Bloomsbury, Clerkenwell, St.
George, Hanover.square, Chelsea. St. Luke and Islington,
to follow the example. The meeting at the Crown and
Anchor of delegates was actively engaged yesterday, and
some very strong resolutions acre prepared for this day.
The various trades of Spitalfieltis and Betbaal.green held
meetings last night, which were attended by immense num.
ben, and the utmost confidence was expressed in the firm-
ness of the King and his Ministers. A meeting of weavers
is called, and the attendance of 16,000 at least Is calcu-
Lied on.

Such was the state of public excitement during the whole
of Saturday, in many parts of the City. and the West-end,
that numerous shops were wholly, and some partially closed,
in mournful testimony of disgust at the division of Halberd
of Lords. Upon many of the shutters in Holborn, and in
the parish of St. Giles's, were large placards, calling upon
the :people to pay no tales, and to resist a seizure 1 dlr.

An extensive froustnith, who had upwards of fifty men in
his employ, discharged the whole of them on Saturday after.
noon, in consequence of the rejection of the Bill—an exam,
pie likely to be generally followed. A man at a public
house, in the New-road, was nearly killed on Saturday af.
ternoon, for having bad the temerity to avow himself an anti.
Reformer. The threatening language used by the thou.
sands assembled yesterday, in troops, in the neighbourhood
of Palace-yard, we should not be justified in repeating. The
bells of several churches in the villages near London, when
the news arrived of the defeat of the measure, rung muffled
peals. The Sags of many vessels in the river were to be
seen dying " half-mast high"—many of them surrounded
with black asps.
The rejection of the reform bill has aroused a spirit among
the people which it will be difficult to quell. As soon as
the newspapers were out on Saturday morning, and the peo-
ple were made acquaintel with the result of the division

groups might be seen in every street consulting together

went immediately. The report gained ground tram the fact
that the workmen were employed in making the usual prepa-
rations forhis Majesty's reception, but it was ascertained be.
yond a doubt about S o'clock. that, at all events, the promo.'
gallon would not take place that day. The Lord Chancellor
returned to the House of Lords soon after one o'clock, and
disposed of two appeal cases. His Lordship went to attend a
Cabinet Council in Downing street • he was loudly cheered
by the crowd. The Council remained in deliberation a''
considerable time.

In consequence of a requisition to the churchwardens of
the parish of St. Ann's, -Westminster, the inhabitants met
at eleven *Cleat on Saturday morning, at the vestry-room,
which they fonnd closed against them. They than ad.
jcsiarned to Key s Tavern, Frith.Mrtet, Soho, where, having
unanimously voted Mr. Carpus to the chair, they passed a
resolution that the Parishionen present, about 200 in
number, were determined to support his Majesty and the
present Ministry by every means an their power ; and one
of the body having been deputed to ascertain the sentiments
of the churchwardens, they were waited upon, and agreed
k to allow a public meeting to take place at eleven o'clock this
day, a: the vestry-room.
It was stated at the meeting which took place at the
Crown and Anchor is Saturday evening, that Red Grey
had received an express from the most influential persona in
Birmingham, stating, that if the Reform bill should be
thrown out by the Lords, and the Ministers ,retained their'
places, they had sufficient influence over 160,000 men, in
that neighbourhood, to prevent them committing any
lanes in censequence ; but that if his Majesty's Ministers
resigned, they would not be answerable for the consequences
which would inevitably result from such a step.

POLICZ Minimum—A detachment of 400 of the New
Police were marched off to Hammersmith at half-past six
o'clock on Saturday evening. Their place of destination is
supposed to be the scat of the Marquis of Londandwry,

On Saturday night a meeting was held at the Crown sad'
Anchor Tavern in the Strand, of the principal inhabitants
of various parishes in Westminster, for the purpose of adopt-
log such measures as might be deemed proper in the present
important aisle. Mr. Dc Year was called to the Chair.
The Chairman stated that he had called the present Meeting
to make the necessary preliminary arrangements for a public'

Westminster to appoint delegates front each of those

stances might require. Colonel Evans, M. P. said the
object of the public meeting suggested, would be to convey
to the King and his Ministers an expression of the con-
fidence of the people in the present Administration. He
suggested the meeting should be called on Monday. A, gen.
demon observed that delegates were now in Oren from different
parts of the counuyy:who would gladly co-operate with any
Committees that might be formed in town. Political
Unions were forming rapidly throughout the whole of the
country, and they only wanted to receive instructions heel
London, as to how they should act. A long conversation
took place, during which several facts were stated proving
