.~ t l i 7 - .. ..'s SOUTHWARK ELROITION A.NNIYERSARY. ~ 'Thursday evening, the Electors of the Borough of bradswark (friends to Parliamentary Reform) cele brated this second Anniversary of their Independence, iby a Public Din ,at the Grove-house Camberwell. About sia o'cloc , Aides-man Tamar, Mr. CrldsetiA, Mr. Wait 14 Mr. HALL , Mr. GILLIZS, Mr. BLACK, and m y other Gentlemen who usually take a leading in the political affairs of the Bo rough, cowed the room amidst loud greetings. Mr. Wynimaaroom said, a letter had been re ceived from Sir Robert Wilson, which would be read in the course of the evening, stating that the im portant debate in the House of Commons prevented his attendance—(Applasise).--Under these circum stances, he begged lave to propose that Mr. Alder man Thorp do take the Chair, which was unani mously agreed to.--The cloth being cleared, " The uieg, and eay be never forget those priocipks that placed his Family on the Throne of Great Britain," was given from the Chair, and drank with three times three. " The Queen, and may she long continue (in the words of Mr. Canning) the pace, life, and ornament of society' =This toast was hailed with the most enthusiastic applause. " The. Sovereignty of the People"--u The Liberty of the Press." ke. were received with nearly equal approbation. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, ob served, that it was one dear to all their hearts, and was likely to become the prevailing sentiment of many who but a short time back mild not be brought to acknowledge the necessity of any Reform in the present system: II The Free Repreeestadoe of the People is the COMMON House df Parliament"--(Cheere). . • _ Mr. Wevaaairoon here rose, and after a few pre liminary observations, read the letter which had been that morning received by the Committee, from Sir Wilbert Wilson. It was addressed "To the Gentle men assembled at the grave-house, Camberwell," and premised that it was with infinite tegret the gal lant General found himself prevented by what they must own to be an indispensable duty, from having the honour of meeting them that.day. A delsate was to take place in the House of Commons, on a sub ject of the deepest interest to the country ; and the House would, as he understood (after Mr. Wilber force's motion was disposed of), be called upon to determine the solemn question, whether justice was to be administered according to its due course, or with perverted forms, to the prejudice of the I King's honour, and the accused's security. That accused was their Queen, who had come to Eng land to meet the charge with which she was me naced. She had made her appeal to the British people for protection against Secret Committees, and Ministerial or packed Tribunals, before which even her own Counsel, in the first instance, will not be permitted to appear . With this appea l ivere in volved considerations of the highest importance to the honour and interests of the Empire, and be was confident that, on such an occasion, they would not think him authorized, as the Representative of South wark, to be absent from his post in Parliament. But in thus obeying the duty he owed hi: Constituents and the Public, he could not but feel great disap pointment and mortification at an unexpected course of proceeding, which deprived him of the gratifica tion of presiding at a Festival established to com memorate their Ironeurable exertions, and at which he could not have assisted without the warmest feel ings of gratitude and pride I—(Lord plaudits). _ The CHAIRMAW then separately proposed the healths of Sir Robert Wilson, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Calvert, Mr. Alderman Wnod, Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Ilobhouse Mr. Alderman Waithman, &c. which were hailed with repeated acclamations. Mr. HALL proposed— The health of Mr. Alderman Thorp, and the Independent.Ll- very of London. and may they never fmget the glorious example they net in lel& Alderman THORP said, he would have confined himself to simply returning thanks, had not the com pany done him the honour to couple his name with the Independent Livery of London. During the time that he was honoured with the confidence of that important body, he received from them such kind ness as would never be effaced from his memory ; and, he believed, if a contest was to take place to morrow inihe City, its result would be very different from the last. The friends of freedom slept on that occasion too securely, whilst their opponents were straining every nerve, and using every art that gold or power could effect, to forge shackles for them. The CHAIRMAN then begged to propose the health of a distinguished individual who had honoured them with his company—he meant Mr. O'Meara—(Lord applassu). Mr. 0141tARA (late surgeon to Bonaparte at St. Helena)" observed, that as - he was wholly unused to public speaking, he should require much of their kind indulgence. If anything 'could enhance the value of the compliment just paid to him, it was the recollection. that it came from so patriotic a body as the independent Electors of the Borough of Southwark, men who had given such a signal blow to the friends of corruption and unlawful power. He could not help here expressing his abhorrence at the degrading spy system which was pursued in the present day Although he (Mr. O'Meara) might have made his fortune in such a cha racter yet he found the worst feelings of his nature inadequate to the disgraceful employment. When Napoleon was at the height of his power, he was found using his best endeavours against him in the field—but when oppressed, when deprived of ev ery solace, of friends and dignity—of wife, child, and all that could make life desirable, and pent vas iu worse than a prison, hi could not but regard him with feelings of commiseration and sympathy; and to be a spy upon the conduct of such a man, and to report every word he said, and everything he did, Was what he could never consent te. The consequence d at rendered himself unacceptable to those is powuir , si bs visited him with every degradation doe par snake could indict ; but be bad the con aslation of knowing that his conduct had received his. own sanction, and the approbation of all good an d mes.--(Throf distsact rounds qf lowed this shore Aims.) During the evening the company were enlivened with many patriotic slogs and tunes, and they re stained in convivial hammy to a late hour. iv.+~ ~ ._ PAItLIAMENTARY HOUSE OF LORDS.

Earl GREY was sorry that the Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Government was absent; as he wished to ask him a question on the subject of that most unfortunate business which bad so long wen- Vicl iat the attention of Parliament and the Public. he would have inquired, had the Noble Lord been p resent, was, whether he meant to abide by his intention of allowing the sittings of the Secret Cow mittee to take place on Tuesday next, if no amicahle adjustment, or 'rather no arrangement of the di& ferences, should then have taken place? If the Noble Lord did on Monday bring forward any propoAlen. ;be should, in the first place, reserve himself for its consideration. If, on the contrary, the Noble Lord Intended to make no proposal to the House on that 'day, but should act on his declaration of yesterday, namely, to allow the Committee to meet on Tuesday W an adjustment was not concluded by Monday, be (Earl Grey) would think it his duty on the lax der to call their Lordships' attention to cireentstamee which bad taken' place, by which the character the proceeding they had adopted was mate eially iif fected. To the appointment of that Secret Commit tee he fully felt all the objections which had been urged by his Noble Friends before he had the op portunity of attending in his place in the House. But to these weighty objections was to be added this additional circumstance, that it appeared, from the votes of the House of Commons, that a measure had there been adopted, which placed the question is quite a new state. He found that a resolution, sup. ported, as be understood, by the opinion of his Ma yfty's Ministers, had passed the other House of Par tannin, explicitly declaring that any inquiry which might be instituted, in consequence of the Message and Papers communicated to their Lordships House, can have no possible result except one, which " must be derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the Empire." This his Majesty's Ministers had engaged that House in a proceeding which they now admitted can terminate, whatever be its result, in no other way than that of derogating from the dignity of the Crown, and in juring the best interests of the Country. This pro ceeding was then evidently one, in the prosecution of which it was impossible for their Lordships to continue. He thought it necessary to say this much, to call their Lordships attention to the subject, that they might be prepared for the consideration of the subject on Monday. He concluded by moving that the House be summoned for that day.--thdered.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COZAMONS.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, be rose for the purpose of noticing an omission made by him in - the course of the debate of last night, an d which he trusted the Hciuse would now permit him to rectify, in conformity with the wish of her Majesty who had reminded him of the fact. The Noble Lord °prim bad, in the course of Ms speech last night, objected that he (Mr. Brougham), had not brought forward the question of her Majesty's name having been left out of the Li turgy until a late period of the conferences. He now owed it to her Majesty to state, according to what , her Majesty told him that day, that when she found, by the Lando" Gazette, that her name was left out of the Liturgy, she wrote a letter' to one of the King's Ministers complaining of that omission. This fact escaped him last night, but he was reminded of it by -the Queen that movning. Her Majesty's letter was dated the 16th of March last, and on the 49th of the same mouth was received by Ministers. It wastrue, and bat fair to confess, that, from that period natal the 1 cooferences, DO mention was made of the complaint of her Majesty by her legal advisers Lord CASTLBREAGH said, it was perfectly true that stub a letter as the Boa. and Learned Geode :um Wiest alluded to, was received by a Noble Ptiend of his, from th Queen,comPlained in it *Wiser name had been left out of the Liturgy. He bad no doubt but that the question of this omiesioi had been in the mind of her Majesty, when she con seated to the la si te ue 7c pn iation. But his idea in what he threw out last the subject was, that it had Mt been first in the propositions made at the commencement of the late conferences ; and ap peared rather to have been brought forward as an af. ter-thought on the part other Majedy's legal advisers, and made one of the conditions in the neecaation, He should now take the present opportunity of stir gesting the propriety of the House meeting to-mot row, not to deliberate, but, to receive the answer of her Majesty to the Resolution of that House, in or der that Gentlemen might be better able to prepare their minds for the discussion which was to take place on Monday. Mr. BROUGHAM agreed, that it would be more convenient for the House to meet to-morrow ; for in, consequence of his own indisposition, and the late hour at width the House broke up that Morning, he was not able to communicate what passed fn the House to her Majesty before three o'clock to.day. This having been the case, her Majesty was unable cc fix ;any earlier hour than eleven o'clock to-morrow (this day) for receiving the Deputation. Mr. DENMAN fat it necessary to inform the House, that the fact of the letter having been sent from the Queen to one of the Ministers on the lfith of March, was not known to him at the time. The bron Zt of the Committee an. the Army itatemedinaries was and agreed to. The mu was emernitted, and ordered to be 'read a ddrd dale on Monday.

RussaLL the Hon. BRAGOZ BATHURST, &C. The C ourt was opened by the usual proclamation, &c. commanding silence, on pain of imprisonment, at twelve o'clock. Mr. T. H. STIRLING appeared for the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, with respect to his claim to the office of Gust Chamberlain. The Duke claimed as heii general, and as being descended from one of the co-heiresses of Sir Gaoaos Vitas, brother of JOHN DR Vase, Earl of ORFORD. That Lord GWT DI It and Mr. Di tt.on had likewise put in their claims ; Mr. I/H.1.05, being descended from another of the co-heiresses of Sir Grottos on Vesta, and Lord Guy.. SIR claiming in right of his wife, a ,co-heiress of the Duke of Awcmsvaa. The Duke of NORTNUMBRII• LAND did not now apply to the Court for the pur pose of establishing his claim to performs the office of Chamberlain on the present occasion, but in order that the right might be saved to him in future. The Court said it would be considered. Proofs were brought in by the Agent of the Rev. Mr. DTMOLZ, for the purpose of proving his right, by ancient custom, to appoint a sufficient Deputy to perform the office of Champion, and the other dow ties apg thereto. Afte alongeliberation, the Court referred the evi dence, which was extremely voluminous, to the AT TORNEY-GA.IIIIIIAL for his investigation, that he might report thereon. The decision upon that matter was accordingly postponed until a future day. Mr. BANKER attended by his Agents, with it peti tion, and proofs on paper of it, claiming a right, on behalf of the Barons of Corfe Castle, to carry a ca nopy over the Kuro, in conjunction with th e B atons of the Cinque Ports. Mr. BATZLRR attended as Counsel on behalf of the Cinque Port Barons, and spoke at great length against the claim set up by those of Corfe Castle. the Coors decided, that the Barons of Corfe Castle had net established their claims to the service.

Sr. Jonas TUX Barrssx.-.4loSday at the Stock Exchanges Our Readers will recollect, that in the debate of Thursday night it was charged by Ministers against the Legal Adviseri of the Queam, that the demand to have bet MaJzsvv's name inserted in the Liturgy was an Der-lAm/ht. It will be seen in the proceed ings of last night, that Mr. Baouottam, when he announced in his place that he had been to see her Kunst', and that eleven o'clock this forenoon was the earliest hour she Could fix for receiving the Deputation appointed to communicate to her the Resolutions of the House, took an Opportunity of oh , serving, at the same time, that on Thursday evening he had neglected to state to the House, that het MAJESTY, as soon as she received The Gamete, announcing the erasure of her name from the Li turgy, wrote a letter complaining of this to a Noble Lord in the Ministry, and that her MAJESTY had ../... reminded him of that cii in the inter., view which he had recently had with her. Lord Ceartaagacti acknowledged the receipt of the letter in question, by a Noble Friend of his, and disclaimed all idea of insinuating that her MAJESTY herself had not thought of this subject till the con clusion of the late negotiations. Her MAJESTY'S letter was written on the 15th, and received on the 29th of March last. The House is to meet this day merely for the pur ' pose of receiving her MAJEsrv's Answer, that they may be in possession of it previous to any discussion. The House having. sat to so late an hour yesterday morning as to leave neither room nor time for our morning contemporaries to offer any observations on the proceedings, we have this day the benefit of their matured opinions, after an interval sufficient to enable them to speak with perfect deliberation and coolness. We have, therefore, resolved to lay before our Readers the principal part of the observations of each respectively which have offered any th ing striking--not . eves omitting the remarks of those journals which have shown. themselves most willing to laud every-step that-Ministers have taken.--Our Readers will see the We tits net stand alone in the view we have takini Of this interesting . question. . . . . 7111010 TIM MORNING CIikoVICLIC. 4 4 Wt tdst if sole with due respectif din House, and to do *lke to She limbos which induced 11r. *X.lllllll.llpi to inter. plat as on this occasion ; but wiped% as we have a mate &Alt the QM=isinnOCaltl the thsrgep against her, and, ecastrigagy, that she is an injured woman, we cannot un derstand Olt what principle of justice the House, instead of ex erting its power Is induce the party by whom the injustice was committed to make reparation, should Imp_ forward and say to the suffering party— , You have suffered much unjustly already, but yes must consent to suffer asses r The party committing 1 1 the injustice is powerful, and the. other party is an unprotected female ; but surely the defenceless situation of the Queen ought not to be a reason with the House of Commons of England for throwing its weight Leto the scale sign* her. • Mad, was said by Mr. Comm on the propriety of both parties yielding up tromething in a compromise.
