, State of Public Opinion and movements in the
Metropolis Tuesday Night.

mind is extending far and wide, and prepare
tons are making in every quarter TO give full
though not hasty effect to the prevalent feeling
on the subject. The Tories shrewdly enough
calculated on the effects of the surprise on The
people; they calculated on finding them without
leaders, without combination. So far they were
right But combinations have been organized,
and are now organizing with amazing rapid
ty; and the fact of a variety OF requisitons Tor
public meetings being in repeated instances
started in the same parishes, by parties who
we're unaware of each others intentions. Is per-
haps a more convincing proof of the unanlmlty
of sentiment which exists than even the most
extensive combinations.
The most gratifying feature in to-day's &C.
currences was the perfect unanimity OF all class
es and sections of ReformerS, against either the
threats or the brides of Tory Government.
Radicals, Ultra Radicals, and Wings, were eve
ry where to be seen acting together, and wisely
casting aside all minor dissentions in order TO
oppose a united front to their common enemy.
AS usual, a vast number of flying rumors were
circulated about the west end of the town, TO
which. however, not the slightest credit can be
attached. That which obtained the greatest
credence was that the present Speaker was to
be made Peer, and that Mr.. Goulburn should
succeed him.
State of Public Opinion in The Country.
The most perfect unanimity prevails amongst
dom. From Kent Devon. Somerset-hire, Glou-
cestershire, DOrSetshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire,
Derbyshire, Notts, and in short almost all The
counties in England, We have the strongest as
surances that the metropolis does not stand alone
| in the Indignation and disgust with which it
| views the Tory intrigue.
| In Scotland and Ireland we have also various
accounts that the best feeling prevails. All mi
nor differences are laid aside, and the nation
stands united as one man. The Reformers in
all parts are wisely and busy preparing for dis
solution.
MANonEsTER-A meeting was held on Thurs
day, for the purpose of framing requisition to
Mr.. Pouett Thompson, to allow himself to be
put in nomination. The requisiton was agreed
10, drawn up, signed and forwarded immediate
ly.
Our correspondent says that a requisition is
now in the course of signature, addressed 10 our
Boroughreeve, requesting him to call public
meeting Of the inhabitants of Manchester and
its vicinity, for the purpose of addressing the
King the present aspect of public affairs.
The result as to whether our head municipal Of
| ticer will comply, cannot be expected to be
made known before Saturday next. The eX-
element among the Wings it is impossible to
describe.
We draw pant cular attention to the following
communication from an intelligent correspon-
dent
missal from office Of Lord Melbourne and his
colleagues, which was first made known here
on the morning of Sunday last, through the me-
dunn of the Morning Chronicle, has excited in
this town and neighborhood the same feelings
of establishment and Indignation which appears
to be general all over the kingdom. People
opened their eyes in absolute amaZemcnt, dis
posed almost TO doubt the evidence of their
senses. The public mind perhaps never recev-
ed shock so general, sudden, and alarming.
TIE CRISIs.-What Ireland will do is now

From, lie Times Of Nonday
We think it right to take this opportunity Of
stating that tile passage Tin the communication
sent to us on Saturday morning) relating tn the
Queen, has no foundation in fact. Her Majesty
has had not the slightest concern with this revo-
luton in the Cabinet. Having without exami-
nation, and under the first excitement of such
extraordinary intelligence, published a state
ment which seemed to bear hard upon her Ma
jesty, We have sincere pleasure in giving it this
decided contradiction and in declaring our be-
lief that the Queen is not capable Of any undue
intermeddng with public affairs, or of attempt
ngAwhat we are sure she could not accomplish
if she did-to exercise any influence upon the
mind of her royal consort, in what relates to his
sole authority as Sovereign.
From the London Standard, of Monday.
There is not the slightest, or even the shadow
of the slightest cause for imputing to the Queen,
or to any member of the Kings family the least
interference in the dissolution Of the Wing Ca
bnet.
As we have already stated, the conference be-
tween the King and Lord Melbourne was car
ried on in the most candid, cordial, and gener-
Gus spirit on both sides. After the noble lords
departure from Brighton, the King was heard
to say the following words. which we pledge
ourselves to be as accurately reported as his
Majesty's declaration to the Bishops.-"Of all
the men / ever met, Lord Melbourne is one of
the most honest, most straightforward and most
to be loved ever knew. If he has any enemies,
