The Chronicle this morning commences its first leading article thus-
" We continue to till our columns with accounts from all parts of the country of the popular demonstrations at the deliverance of our Queen from tie Tories, and the prospects of a better understanding between the Whig Ministry and the Reformers."
Then follows an announcement, that the electors of Southwark are to meet in the Town-hall, on Tuesday "for the purpose of addressing her Majesty." In another part of the same paper, under the head of "The Queen and the Ministry," it is stated, that on Thursday night, the "Church. wardens, Overseers, Governors, and Directors of the parish of Green. wick" assembled to the number of ten, and by a majority of 7 to adopted a complimentary address to the Queen.
It is intended to hold meetings at Peterborough on Monday, and at Leicester on Tuesday next.
The Lincoln Liberals have forwarded an address to be presented by Sir Edward Bulwer. The speakers at the meeting " stringently con- donned" Lord Joins Russell's " finality."
The Derby Reporter "hopes the people of Derby will not be the fast to give a demonstration of their determination to support the honour of the Throne against its real enemies."
The Stochport Advertiser is " much astonished that some public de. monstrution " has not taken place in Stockport.
Here ends the Morning Chronicle's list of "popular demonstrations." Those which have actually occurred, are confined to the Lincoln meet- ing, and the ten " Churchwardens, Overseers, Governors, and Directors of the parish of Greenwich."
It is singular that our Ministerial contemporary has no announce. meat of an intended meeting in the City of London, mentioned somewhat irreverently in the following article in the Post of tlih morning.
"Sir Matthew Wood, with Messrs. Wire, Ashurst, Anderton, and others of the Radical party in the Common Council, had a hole-and-corner meeting on Thursday in the Guildhall, to concert measures for getting up an address to her Majesty, thanking her for her support of the Chambermaid Ministry. On or two, however, of the Radicals especially, Mr. Anderton, were found to be impracticable, and holiest enough to say that, as the Whigs 'would hare in' Risted on the same measures as Sir Robert Peel, they could not interfere. Sir Matthew was evidently much chagrined, and the meeting broke up without any thing being determined upon except a resolution to hoM their own counsel. The thing, however, got wind; and yesterday morning, Sir Peter Laurie, Mr. Lambert Jones, Messrs. Conley, John Wood, Godson' and Larkin, and others of the leading Conservatives, met, and have determined to propose 'a want of confidence' amendment to any proposition that may be attempted; and no doubt the Conservatives of the Corporation will defeat Sir M. Wood."
