THE NEW MINISTRY—ADDRESS TO THE KING.

TIMM 1111211110 a? prESPOOL, wernizsaas, way to.
Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the iutabi
tants of Liverpool was held in the Town-hall this day,
for the purpose of considering the propriety of present-
ing an Address to his Mositari on the formation of the
new Ministry. The MATOa took the chair a few mi-
nutes before twelve o'clock, at which hour the space
within the bar was thronged with Gentlemen of the first
respectability, and of every political party in the town.
At noon precisely the doors were thrown open, and, in
an instant, the body of the hall was crowded in every
part.—The MAYOR opened the business of the day by
stating the object for which the meeting had been con-
vened.—Mr. TOPti AK then read the requisition, which
was numerously and respectably signed.
Mr. H. Boars then rose to propose a resolution, that an AS-
dress of Coneatulation be presented td his Majesty on the recent
changes whicn bad taken place in the Government. He stated the
reasons which induced him to step forward on the present occasion,
and explained the grounds un which be was disposed to juin in an
address of congratulation to the Say.reign. He enumerated the
liberal cotonteteial system of the present Government; the dislo-
cation of Gteat -Britain from its previous connexion with the Holy
Alliance ; the recognition of the independence of the infant states
of South America; and the protection of liberty in the Peninsula;
as among the acts which induced him to approve of the Ministry of
Mr. Cinning, supported as that Right Hun. Gentleman was by the
party In the State to which he (Mc. Booth) belonged. Having
stated the grounds of his satisfaction at the tecent Ministerial
changes, be proposed a resolution that an Address be presented to
the King on the subject.

Mr. W. Salmi seconded the inothm.
The resolution was duo put from the Chair, and carried unani-
mously.
Mr. cta meows rose to move the Mcbow, which was read by Mr.
Topham. fur. Gladstone then proceeded, at considerable length, to
state his reasons for supporting, the Address which had just been read
to the meeting. He n ed the history of the recent changes in the
Adminiurarton. and praised the firmness °ibis Majesty in sopport-
ing kir. Canning, when the Right Hon. Gentleman had been aban-
dosed by his colleagues. Mr. Gladstone neat alluded %the foreign,
domestic, and commercial policy on which Mr. Canning ►ad acted
since be had been in edict; a police which, with some exceptions
as to the commercial part, had received the approbation of the
country generally. He Ahem stated his sentiments on the Roman
Catholic Question, and contended. that nothing but the timely con-
cession of the just claimrof the Catholics could prevent Ireland
from being deluged with blood. Mr. Gladstone concluded a very
able speech by reminding the meeting, that Liverpool was the first
place to step forward at the present eventful period. Her example
would give a tone to the country at large, and It would be fol-
lowed, he doubted not, throughout the empire.
The Rev. W. Surenams seconded the Address in a long speech.
He ridiculed the idea, that the promotion of Mr. Canning to the
Premiership could endanger the Established Chisels, connected
as that Church was with the State, from which it received, sod to
which It gave support; 110 much for that subject, said Mr. Shep-
herd ; In saying this, he evinced more loyalty than these who en-
deavoured to rouse hostility in the public mind to the new Ministry,
by cries of the peril of the Church.
Mr. C. M objected to the Address, and stated his reasons
for not entertaining for Mr. Canning the same high sentiments
which had been expressed by the preceding speakers. He theta
moved, that the Meeting do adjourn for xis months.
A Gentleman, whose name we could not learn, seconded the
amendment.
Mr. Rusnrort replied, in a short speech, to Mr. Morrell.
Mr. Meter supported the amendment. He opposed Mr. Cas-
tling, because of his advocacy of the Roman Catholic Claims, and'
the commercial policy which be, in conjonttioir with Mr. Hasid.-
..xi. bad sanctioned. He compared Mr. Cesolot• to a biry who
balk a castle of cards, and them blew fellow,.
- - -

diked %MUM declared. that no 'man bad opposed Mr
Canning more than he bad done. He never could forget his tap.
tinted enmity to Parliamentary Reform ; nor could he forgive de
recent declaration that he would oppose the repeal of the Co=
don and Test Acts. Bit Mr. Canning had also his good qua
and he had done one or two acts which bad sicked his (Coked
Williams's) approbation. He alluded particularly to his declara-
tion in Parliament, that he would rotate all Europe in support. of
free institutions—a dechrationwiliebilad discomfited the aposto-
Utak of France. In the case of the Queeo.too,lie bat:igen* a good
way, but not so far as he (Colenet.Williattd) wished him to go. He
liked him, on the whole, muck better than Lord Eldon and the
-rest of that gang. " &r," said Colossal 'Williams' " I am not a
faktioes man! I care nothing for Mr. Canning or Mr. Brougham
as :nen ; but whilst they are employed in dein good, I will sup-
port them or any other men."
Mr. Graneroma defended his consistency, ice minter to Mr.
Mr. W. W. Cosa= supported the Address at some length.
The Amendment was then put from the Chair. Three or four
hands only were held for it,
The Address was then pot, and carried by acclamation,
Mr. ALITOS rat to propose that a Deputation, consistiog of the
Mayor' John Bolton, P.sq. A. Heywood, Esq. J. Gladstone, Esq.
and J. Birch, Esq. M.P. be appointed to present the Address to
his Majesty.—The motion having been seeboded,
Mr. Itarnenes rose to object to Mr. Gladstone being one of the
Deputation. That Gentleman had opposed some pans of the con.
rnercial policy of Mr. Huskissoo; and be did not, therefore, think
him a fit person to represent Liverpool on the present occasion.
bit. Rusenot seconded the motion, ran over Mt. Gladstooe's
life, and charged him with being a Whig in ISeee, a Tory in 1812.
and neither Whig nor Tory in 1827. Mr. Rushton ripped up the
history of the letter which, in 1815, Mr. Gladstone had received
from Lord Liverpool, on the subject of the property tar ; and
ebarging Mr. Gladstone with havitig, at a public meeting held in
that year, denied that he had received a letter, argued that a man
who could be guilty of such an act, was not fit to represent Liver-
pool on this occasion. The speaker was interrupted, during his
statement, by loud bisect of disapprobation.
The mooting of this subject gave rise to a discussion which lasted
nearly two hours, and in which Mr. Vaiteetas, Mr. Somata,
and other Gentlemen participated.
Mr. Gummi' being put on his defence, entered most minutely
into the history of the transaction to which Mr. Rushton had al.
luded; read the two letters which he had received from Lord
Liverpool ; and, by mutating the facts of the case, proved, most
triumphantly, that the charge which bad been brought against him,
at the distance of thirteen long years,waa unfounded and calumnious.
Mr. Gladstone's statement was received with thunders of applause,
mired with a few hisses from a small part of the assembly. Haviag
concluded his defence, which wit allowed on all hands. to be mas-
terly, he withdrew from the Hall, feeling that it would not be de.
corous, if he remained there whilst the decision of the Meeting was
taken on the amendment.
Mr. &memo deprecated the course which Mr. Rathbone and
Mr. Rushton bad taken on this subject.
Mr. Visa mixt entreated them to withdraw their amendment, but
they would not.
Ac length the amendment was put to the vote, when a few hands
were held up for striking Mr. Gledstone's name (rem the list of the
deputation. The original motion was then put, and carried by an
in mense show of hands.
Thanks were then voted to the Mayor, fee his conduct in the
Chair, and the meeting broke up at four o'clock, having continued
four hours.

Yesterday the vestry of St. Olave's, Hart-street, was
convened, to t.ke into consideration a letter from Dr.'
Owen, whose claim for tithes under an obsolete Act of
Henry VIII. still keeps that parish in a state of-agita-
tion. It was stated, that the appeal made by the rector
against an assessment for peor's-rates had been nega-
tived, and that the sum he bad to pay was 1201. Dr.
Owen, in his letter, proposed "annually to contribute
501. to the relief of the poor, and never to raise the
tithes of the present occupiers, or to join with the
parishioners in obtaining an Acivf Parliament, whereby
I auiy in future annual.), receive, in lieu of tithes, an
income of vow, per anoupt, exempt from all asfess-
meats towards the relief of the po r." This prorsi•
tion, however, did n( t afford satisfaction, and does not
seem likely to put an end to the discord between the
rector and his parishioners. The vestry Old not think
fit to take is a composition for 1291. and a petition
to Parliament against his claim of tithes is preparinz:

KING'S THRATIRe..ROSSINI'S serious Opera of Se.
miramide was last night pertorrned. Madame PASTA,
as the heroine, came up to our highest idea of the dia.
ratter. Her deportment was extremely dignified—be-
fitting a princess of almost absolute sway. Even where
events the ,most unexpected, and the most unhappy,
assailed her, she still made the spirit of the pincess
peer above the feelings of the woman. Madame PASTA
was supported with great ability by Signor Comm,
who sustained the part of Idreem ; and by Signor
GALLI, wbo, though not entirely free from hoarseness,
performed the character of Amer extremely well. The
character of Arbaces was given to Signora BRAMSILLA,
her first appearance on any stage. Her voice is a
messesoprano, not of the best quality : her efforts were
received quiescently. The house was full.
Yesterday the Anniversary Meeting of the Subscri-
bers to the Society instituted for the benefit of the Sens
of the Clergy, was held at St. Paul's Cathedral. Among
tbe distinguished persons present were, the Duchesses
of KRIM and CLAstanca, the Mines FITZCLARRNOR, se-
veral of the Itishops and dignified Clergy, the Loan
Meyon,Sheriffs, sever al of the Aldermen, the RECORDS
and an immense number of Noblemen and persons of dis-
' tinction. An appropriate Discourse was preached by Dr.
Senv,Rector of St. Mary-la-Bonne. The Choir was fitted
up in a very superb style, and was occupied by tire most
distinguished performers, both vocal and instrumental.
The music commenced, as usual, with the Dettingen
Te Deem, and concluded with HANDILL'S Grand Coro-
nation Anthem. Therese of the pieces were those usu-
ally performed on this occasion. The whole was very
ably conducted by Mr. GREATORIT, and the band led
in a most masterly style by Mr. COTTON Reeve. At
the close of the performance great part of the company
repaired to Merchant Tallow.' Hall to dinner, where,
as well as at the Church, the contributions in aid of the
Charity was most liberal, amounting together to 1,0701.
besides private donations.

Yearn was in the ask. liiiireinp an y w:s very ouneniak—not kw
than 300 Goldoni eat down to dinner. Sk ems Loom apo-
logized for the Duke of Sussex, who was expected to take the
Chair, but who was detained by indisposition. Oa the ptosperity
the Institution being proposed and drunk, a copy of verses, addressed
to the patrons, were recited; and Muter Burka sung a song, that
had also been written for the occasion. The company did not or'
parate till a late hour.
A dreadful murder was committed yesterday even-
ing, under veay horrible circumstances. Whitechapd
is in a complete fermentation, arisinif from a man of
the name of Sheets having murdered his infant son only
four months old. It appears he has been in the habit
for several weeks past of threatening to cut the child's
head off; last evening he came home about half-past
seven o'clock, rather intoxicated, and made use of his
usual threat; after some time, he desired his wife to go
out and purchase some tea, and during the time die
was gone he cut the head completely from the body ;'
he placed the head on the .table, and threw the body
under the bed; he then secured the door, and made off
before his Wife returned. He perpetrated the act with
a hatchet which he uses in his occupation as a wood-
chripper.
IMPORTANT TO CALICO PRINTRItIo—AI the Preston
Sessions on Thursday se'nnight,Edwardßaxter,Thomas
Kibchester, and Lawrence Boothman, three men in the
employ of Messrs. Thomson, Chippendale, and Co., of
Clitheroe, were indicted for stealing a quantity of pat-
terns of printed calico, the property of their employers. It
appeared from the evidence that Baxter was a clerk, and
Boothman and Kibchester colour-mixtures; and they
had availed themselves of the facilities which their
situation afforded them, to purloin a vast number of
patterns from the works. These were inset ted in pattern
books, and each was accompanied by a full description
of the mode employed by Messrs. Thomson, Chippers-
ctele, and Co. to mix the necessary colours, and to pro-
duce the patterns. The object of the prisoners appeared
.to have been to emigrate to America, with the patterns
and the information they had obtained. The case was
fully made out against the prisoners, wbo we: e all found
guilty, and the Court sentenced each of them to seven
. years transportatiou.—:Manchedir Guardian.
