At length we can announce a symptom of the boasted
reaction in favour of the Tories. The following circular was despatched to a number of persons on Saturday last.
" Committec.room, City of London Tavern, Nov.29.
'Sir —You are particularly requested to attend a meeting to be held on Monday next, the la of December, at the City of London Tavern, Itishopsgate Street, i'or the purpose of forming a committee for the arrangement of a public meeting at the Egyp. tiau Hall. Matisionhouse, with a view of considering the expediency of conveying to the that of the Throne, the dutiful acknowledgments of his Majesty's loyal citizens, the merchants, bankers, Sze. of the city of London, for the late exercise of his royal preen. aative.

"Enclosed is a list of the gentlemen named as the Committee."
Who this Mr. Browne Harper may be, we cannot say— the Globe prefixes the title of Colonel to his name ; but one thing is certain, that when the hour of meeting arrived, he was to be seen at the City of i
London Tavern, "all alone n his glory." He composed the only public meeting which the Tories have had the pluck to call in London ; and when Sir Robert Peel returns, it is to be hoped that his singular zeal -will meet with its due reward. What a reaction !
