Thursday last, a Meeting of the Inhabitants of the
Parish of Eastwood, near Glasgow, took place in the
Parish Church, ei to consider the propriety of pre-
senting a dutiful and constitutional Address to his
MAJESTY, representing the pernicious and unconsti-
tutional conduct of his Ministers, and to petition his
MAJESTY to dismiss them from his counsels.

Mr. MAXWELL, younger, of Pollok, M.P. moved,
that Mr. MONTEITH, the Provost of Pollokshaws, to
whom he paid a compliment for his vote at Renfrew,
should take the Chair, which being seconded by Sir J.
MAXWELL, of Pollok, he was elected by acclamation.
The CHAIRMAN stated the purpose for whick the
Meeting was called, and Mr. MURDOCII, of Auld-
house, in a neat speech, in which he professed him-
self a staunch advocate of civil and religious liberty,
and a firm friend of the people, proposed the Resolu-
tions. They expressed loyalty to the ICING, and at-
tachment to the Constitution, as established at the
Revolution, deprecated the policy of Ministers, and
finally prayed his MAJESTY to appoint other servants,
who would economize, conciliate, and restore entire
confidence in all classes of the community.—Mr.
WILSON, of Cowlen, seconded the Address, and it
was carried unanimously.—The thanks of the Meet-
ing were given to the Chairman, Mr. MAXWELL, M.P.
the Requisitionists, the Justices of the Peace, and to
the Rev. Mr. LoGAN, for the use of the Church.—
Earl GREY, Lord ERSKINE, Lord A. HAMILTON, and
Mr. MAXWELL, were fixed upon to present the Ad-
dress to his MAJESTY.

The Address and Petition to his MAJESTY for the
dismissal of his present Ministers, voted at the Public
Meeting in John-street Church, Glasgow, was on
Thursday (January 18) transmitted to London, to be
presented to his MAJESTY. It contains eighteen thou-
sand and sixty-five signatures, and marks unequivo-
cally that the genuine sense of the People of Glasgow
corresponds with the general feeling of the Country
upon this important subject.
THE QUEEN'S HOUSEHOLD.—We have to announce
the appointments of the Duke of Roxeunoii to be
Chamberlain, and of Lord HOOD to be Lord Stewai d
and Comptroller of her MAJESTY'S Household.
