THE LIVERPOOL ADDRESS TO THE KING

In another part of our paper will be found the copy of•
au address to his Majesty from the magistrates, clergy,
bankers, merchants, and other inhabitants of the town of
Liverpool, on the subject of the resignation of Sir Robert
Peel and his colleagues in office. The address was
agreed to en Friday morning; and the necessary prepara-
tions for taking signatures to it were not completed until
after twelve o'clock on that day. Between that hour and
eight on the following evening it. was spontaneously
signed by FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY ONE PERSONS. This, it should be
observed, was accomplished in the short space of about
twenty hours, (for the public had not access to this do-
cument for a longer period,) without any of • the excite-
ment usuallT produced by a "great public meeting," or
any other appeal to the feelings of the people than the
mere publiCation of the address in the form of a hand-bill.
As a copy was given to every man who signed the origi-
nal document, it must be regarded as a clear and une-
quivocal expression of the sentiments of all those per-
sons, "That the continuance in office of Sir Robert Peel,
and the rest of his Majesty's' ministers, is at the present
crisis the only means of preserving the peace, prosperity,
and happiness of this great empire."
The address was despatched to town on Saturday even-
ing, and was, we presume, presented to his Majesty,
Yesterday, by Lord Skeltnersdale.

LONDON ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS.
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

We, your Majesty's most loyal and dutiful subjects, the un-
dersigned attorneys and solicitors of the metropolis, venture to
approach your Majesty with an assurance that we share in the
universally prevalent feeling of fervent and.affectionate loyalty
to your Majesty, and firm attachment to the institutions of the
country.
Though hitherto carefully abstaining from interference, as
a body, in political subjects, we cannot, at the present crisis of
public affairs, hesitate to come forward with an expression of
our sentiments.
We feel the deepest regret at the retirement from your Ma-
jesty's councils, of your late most 'able, experienced, and con-
sciensious advisers, who, though overruled by a small majority
of the House of Commons, possessed, unquestionably, .the
confidence of a great majority of the loyalty, respectability, and
property of the country. •
We deprecate that excess of party zeal which has combined
together persons of the most opposite political principles, in
personal opposition to the ministers lately chosen by your Ma-
jesty, thereby obstructing the ordinary course of public business,
anal preventing the intr.duction of those measures of salutary
reform recommended by your Majesty for the consideration of
parliament.
We experience the greatest anxiety and alarm at the increas-
ing boldness of those who have openly avowed opinions hostile
to the best interests of the country and to the stability of
property.
We feel, however, the fullest reliance upon your Majesty's
firm determination to uphold those interests, however great may
be the dangers which threaten them.
We humbly pray your Majesty not to call to your councils
any ministers whose known principles do not afford a guarantee
for the maintenance and protection of those sacred and valued
institutions in church and state, which your Majesty has de-
clared to be the birthright of your people.
