• Paisley. Jan. 19.
nit dray, pirsuant to a requisition, wldeh appear-
ed in the newspapers, a numerous and raspectablo
pteeting took place, i■ the Bast Relief Chards here,
•• fur the porpoise of considering the propriety of vot-
ing a dutiful and loyal address to hir Majesty,• and
expressin4. fire genuine sentiments of the county re-
sarding the state of public affairs, and entreating his
Majesty to recommend a change of measures in his
(worsens."
The doors were opened shortly after eleven o'clock,
and The church continued to receive the persons com-
ppo•iug the meeting till twelve, when Sir John Max-
well. of Polluk; Mr. Maxwell, younger, of Pollok, 11. P.;
Spcirs, of Elderslie; Mr. Graham, of I.:artuiore;
Air. Speirs, of Culerench ; Mr. Orr, of Ralston ; Mr.
Wallace, of Kellie, &c. entered.
Sir John Maxwell having requested the counte-
(lance of the mailer, Mr. Brown introduced ten officers
into the church.
Mr. thin, of Ralston, proposed Sir John Maxwell
a. chairman, which was secorided by Mr. 31 %mut.,
of Drediland.
Sir Joux returned thanks, which was received with

cheers and clapping of hands.
Mr. SPIRRS. of Elderslie, complimented the meet-
ing so numerously assembled, a• the real members
of the county of Renfrew, fur the last one was a coin-
jsleie patch. He always suppo►ted the rights of the
c mute. Lord Chatham hail said no Minister could
keep otfice without a reformation in the House of
CoWeeeee That great statesman Charles Fox held
ustt the some doctrine, so did the Duke of Richmond
and Mr. Pitt; and they all agreed that a reform
roust he got. Mr. Pitt stopped the reform, though
in ozfice 21 rears, but it was partia ly effected by
.11r. Fox in three mouths. When he looked arotool
and see such a meeting; and particularly as there
never were a more loyal set of people. The late dis-
turbance here was got up ley a party sent from the
next city. Those wbo met in my field, near this town,
behaved with the greatest respect for the laws; they
drew np a petition of grievances and retiortied peace-
Orly to their homes. I have always objected to the
►neasnres and not to the men who are in u:lice; it is a

:•hange of measures we want. After noticiarg the
istfair at Manchester, the measures adopted by /Minis-
ters thereon, their subsequent proceedings against
the Queen, and the present state of the Country.
The resolutions were then read, and were in sub-
stance—that Ministers had lost the confidence of the
nation ; that they had deluged the country in misery
by prosecuting the Queen; that lay their approval of
the conduct of the Manchester Magistrates, they had
insulted the people; and that a change of men and
measures should take place.
Mr. M.sevitt.a, younger, of Pollok, seconded the re-
solutions, which were agreed to by the meeting with
utabonudeal cheers.
Mr..M:xwcat, then rose and said that the resolu-
tions bad his hearty approbation, and especially the
I to, ishicls Ile would lay most stress on, and was con-
fident that they would reach the ears of his Majesty.
Ile was happy to advocate the cause of the people of
the county of Renfrew; he was happy also to accele-
rAte the cause of the downfall of Ministers, seeing
they were already in the mire. Mr. hi:swell then yin-
&rated on various grounds his opposition to the pre-
s ant administration, and in reference to the subject of
deform, took occasion to state that Lord Castlereagh
your to the House of Commons one day and told him
aa.l his friend Lord John Russell, that he had found
4.-aa a plan of Parliamentary Reform, which he hoped
w attlal unite all parties, but that he afterwards said, he
cu.ssent to none. After urging the meeting to
an aistAita their sentiments with firmness, vet in mauler-
...:on, he again read the address or petition recous-
an_qatling the dismissal of his Majesty's Ministers, and
t ) adopt measures of economy and conciliation.
Mr. llama %se, of Oarttnore, then addressed the meet-

i ig, and in the course of his speech took occasion to
r..fer to the meeting of another kind that had been
!rely held in the county where those only who held
others were of the majority in the county, and he and
o!Ners were reckoned among the disaffected. The
pi,.asures lately adopted at Dublin, in turning out Lord
Go:Rimy, &c. showed, he lame: ced, the spirit of the
ministerial party. Parliamentary Reform, he hoped,
'server, would soon take place, fr.nu the petitions
p sating in front all parts, and then we would soon see
x art amen at the head of affairs on whom they could
t..ee dependence.
Sir J. Afaxwat.t, then put thee question, whether the
p •tition should be adopted, on which a person called
v-t, " Take a rote, u the 'furies may object to it."—
A show of hands was then taken, and only one dissen-
ti •ut offered.

The petition was ordered to be presented by the
Milos of Hamilton, Argyll, Bedford ; Earls tirey and
t'.!zwilliam: Lord Archibald Hamilton, and Mr. Max-
M.P.

Sir J. Maxwell then left the chair, and Mr. Oraham
s% .s called tisk.
Mr. WALLA( r. of Kellc. then addressed the meeting,
s.►jing, he had rouse from a distant part of the coma-
t„ a►►d was proud to see such a respectable meeting
conducted with so much decornm.

Papers wer.. then loft for signatures to the petition,
a ri the meeting dispersed in regular order.
There were about 1200 persons in the church.

PUBLIC MEETING .17 DERBY.

On Tuesday, agreeably to the conrocition of the

ly..tror of this Borough by public, advertisement, a
!ming of the Burgesses, kon.eholJers, and I 'Ambit-
•••!ti was held in the Build's*ll,"To take into coa‘i-
st-ration the propriety of petitionin Parliament to
ta..e the most effectual steps to reinstate her Majesty
in' ill her political rights; to rause strict input to
Le made into the late nueonAtitutionsl proceedings
against her Majesty. and to prevent a recurrence of
or. :sures equally daagerous to worsts, and to
tee pence of the country.
lf litre popular fikling can he lietervellord by the
r suihere present ott such an occasion, and by their
lo.havidur, no Meeting held in this Borough wit Liq
11... memory el wan Lad so great; ellnisu to respeca as
t ~• wit ieh was this day assoitildest. The irkedi of
e interior hall, the outer hall, aid the sped, as
were completely tilled, and numbers who vrere
s but unsble to gain a.itnissiori, crowded ,
a. .•.I.t the 4.,11 steps in the Market-pl The doors

,
wets opened s few minutes before eleven? and toe •
Mayor opened the business of the day at tke appoint-
ed time, by stating the object for which the Meeting
was assembled, and be incaleated Ate necessity of
allowkag to ill parties a fait and impartial bearing.
J. &ram; Esq. proposed the first four resolutions,
which formed the basis of the Petition, and closed an
animated speeds by declaring that it was only by the
removal of the Ministers, by a total change of their
meager's; and, above all, by an effectual Reform in
the Representation of the People, that this Country
can be saved. .e
The Rev. C. E. DIRT seconded the Resolutions in
an elegant and argumentative speech.
Mr. Vox proposed the Petition, which was second-
ed by the Rev. Mr. Higginson. On seconding the
resolution of thanks to the Noble Lords who opposed
the Bill of Pains and Penalties, the Rev. Mr. CAW-
THORNS addressed the meeting in a long and energetic
speech : and on a motion of thanks to the Mayor,
D. flowLssro, Esq. took occasion to pay his Worship
the tribute of respect to which he was so warmly en-
titled for the independence which he manifested in
calling the meeting, and for his impartial conduct iu
the chair.—This moti.on was received by the immense
assembly with every demonstration of feeling calcu-
latest to gratify an upright mind, in the conscientious
discharge of an important but delegated °Mee. -
popularity was ever earned by the Chia Magistrate of
this Borough, on such an occasion, the present Mayor
possesses it in a degree never before enjoyed; and of
the tss counter-requisitionists, to whom The Cuuriei
appeals, not one will dare openly to accuse Isis Wor-
ship of partiality in this case. Ihe probability is,
that his personal feelings were on the si.le of Ilse
counter-revolutionists, but his sense of duty led
him to discriminate between hi, individual dpi.
nions and the proper exercise of Isis official trust.
—lt is worthy of remark, that notwithstanding. the
futile observations of The Courier respecting the mi-
nority's in this case triumphing over the majority, the
Resolutions and Petition were adopted without a single
dieseatiag voice or howl. At the close of the proceed-
ings, three cheers, the loudest ever heard its that flail,
were given fur the Queen, and the Meeting imme-
diately and quietly dispersed.
