A Meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Chelsea was held yesterday. Mr. HOBLYN, one of the Churchwardens, in the Chair. The proceedings were opened by the Honourable Captain 'CA nooAN, R.N. who stated the claims of that District to a share in the Franchises ex tended by the Reform Bill to other districts in and about the Metropolis; and that he was convinced, from all the qualifying circumstances connected with and entitling the Parish to a share in the Representation in Parliament, that its having been overlooked was owing purely to a mistake, arising from forgetfulness on the part of thb framers of the Reform Bill. He then entered into consider able detail to show the justice of the claims of the parish of Chelsea, and concluded by moving a Resolution to that effect, which was seconded by Mr. E. M'DoN DELL, who referred to a variety of Parliamentary papers in support of their pro ceedings; and also noticed and answered some ob jections which were stated to have been raised in other quarters, particularly the objection that a separation of Chelsea from Middlesex would reduce the voters of the county to an injuriously small amount. He proved, by reference to the provi sions of the reform bill, and to the Parliamentary returns, that this was a most erroneous view. Captain Richards, Mr. Lee, Captain Bagne, and several other Gentlemen addressed ttztilemeet ing ; and a resolution, together mitli.the following petition, was agreed to : • " That, according to the COMM of 1821, Ch tallied 10,/160 'phantoms; being snore than 1s eon any one, and generally in any two, of the twenty-Media tricts newly enfranchised under schedule t D of the Reform Bill, and equal to the total population of twelve of the re. tained boroughs in schedule B. " That Chelsea contains, according to the same census, 3,866 hence', of which 3,600 at least are worth 101. a year and upwards. • ".that the respectability of the inhabitants of Chelsea is proved by its payment, in assessed taxes, to tee amount of 23,4691. Os. 7d. being mote than is rated on any one of 212 out of the 217 places now sending members to Parliament, and more titan the total amount assessed upon 34 out of the retained boroughs in schedule 13 put together. " Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly submit to your Lordships, that inasmuch as it appears that this district roast:ties in an eminent degree the qualifications of popula tion, direct taxation, and number of houses, which are stated to constitute the basis of the proposed extension of the elective franchise, they are at a loss to conjecture upon what just grounds they should be excluded from a pattici p.nion in the rights extended to other districts of the me tropolis. " Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray your Lordships that the district of Chelsea ntay participate in the projected measure for extending the elective franchise, and be enabled and privileged to return a Member to the Commons' House of Parliament. in such manner as your Lordships may think right to provide. " And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. &c. ST. LUKE, CHELSEA, REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT. Pursuant to a Requisition, addressed to the Churchwardens of the Parish of Saint Luke, Chelsea, a Meeting was ap pointed to be held in the Vestry-Room, on Ftiday last, July the 22nd, at Twelve o'Clack precisely, to consider the propriety of Petitioning Parliament for the right of r..;urning a Member, on the sam:t conditions as such right is proposed to be granted to other Districts of the Metropolis. The tests of the requisite qualifications for a participation in the proposed extension of the Elc<•tive and Representative Power, are stated, by His %la„estl•'s Ministers to be,—let. Amount of Population; 2nd. The Number of Houses; and, 3rd. Amount of direct Taxation. POPULATION OF CHELSEA, In 11121, .... .... 26,80 In 1831, being more than is contained in any one, and g - florally in any two of the twenty-six districts named in Schedule 11, of the Reform Bill, to have one representative, each Chelsea contains as large a population as twelve of the retained Boroughs in Schedule B, p:lt to gether. ' (See Na. 2i►l, of the Parliamentary Pa pets of last Session.) NUMBER OF HOUSES IN CHELSEA. Ia 1821, i BB6 In 1831, being a larger number than is contained in any one of the twenty-six new di:Arleta 'in Sche dule D. (See No. 68, Parliamentary Papers, this Session, for all but Brighton, Stoke-upon-Trent, Whitby, Whitehaven; which four are not noticed in that Report.) Of louses, 4,600, at least, are worth 101. a yell:, each. DI ii.EC C TAXATION OP citnistA. Chelsea WAS assessed, in the last year, 23,4j9i. 71d. iu Assessed Taxes; being more than is rated cn any one of 212 out of the 217 places now • sending Members to Parliament; and more than the total amount rated on 34 out of the 40 boroughs retained in Schedule D, as places qualified to retain one meml:cr, each, to Parlia ment. The only five places paying more than Chelsea, are, London, Westminster, Southwark, Liverpool, and Bristol. (See Parliamentary Pa pers, this Session, No. 69.) Thus Chelsea possesses, in an eminent degree, the three requisite qualifications, of population, number of houses, and direct taxation. London has four members, and it is proposed by the present amended bill (schedule H), to enable its inhabitants to vote on the election of members for Middlesex. Westminster has two members, and Southwark two ; and it is proposed by the bill schedule C), to givewp to the Tower Division Hundred, two to the Finsbury divi sion, two to a part of the Holborn division, t wo le Lanlekh, and two to the Greenwich districts com prising Greenwich,Woolwich, an d Deptford.) Thus Chelsea, with its 5,028 houses, 32,371 inhabi tants, ind paying 23,4691. Os. 70. assessed taxes, is selected for an exclusion from the privi leges extended to the metropolis, of which, in fact and truth, it is a portion ; being. immediately ad joining Westminster, and connected with the City of London, by continuous, uninterrupted lines of streets. It is not a just excuse for this exclusion, to suggest that the inhabitants of Chelsea are already possessed of a fair share of ,parliamentary repre sentation, because they enjoy the right of 'voting for members for the county of Middlesex. The same might be said, with more justice, of the in habitants of the Tower, Finsbury, and Holborn di• visions, to each of which two members are to be given. Each of those divisions is, like Chelsea, a portion of the Hundred of Ossuleton, in Middlesex, and possesses and exercises, to a a far greater ex tent than Chelsea, the right of voting for members for the county, at present; and it is already ob served, that the inhabitants of the City of Lon don, although possessing the right of electing four members, are, by this bill, invested also with the right of voting for members of the county of Middlesex. Moreover, the inhabitants of Lambeth possess the right of voting for members of Surrey ; and the inhabitants of Greenwich, 'Woolwich, and Dept- ' I ford, possess the right of voting for members for Kent. Yet, to each of those districts, the bill gives two members. It is true that it withholds from them, at the same time, the newly created l i rights, of voting for county members. The in habitants of Chelsea do not seek to be placed on a better footing than those of the other metropolitan districts : all they seek is, that they may not be placed in a worse condition than the others ; and the y would, therefore, expect and agree, that, in the event of their being enabled to elect one re presentative for their ow•u district, they should b& excluded from coy new right of voting on the election of members for Middlesex. Neither is it a sufficient ground for excluding Chelsea from the right of separate representation, to state that the separation of this district, from the county, would reduce the electors of the county to an injuriously small number. Such a ground for exclusion would apply, with much more force, to any one of the three divisions, of the Tower, Finsbury, and Holborn; as the number of electors for the county, at present, in each of those divi sions, is much greater than in Chelsea; and, of course, their separation feour the county must pro duce a much greater diminution of the county voters. Besides, the proposed admission of the in habitants of the City of London to a right of voting for members of the county of Middlesex, supplies abundantly sufficient numbers to occupy the places of any inhabitants of Chelsea, who are now elec tors of the county members. It is very difficult to conjecture, why this marked and most injurious indignity should be cast upon Chelsea, while Greenwich and its neighbourhood are so narticularly favoured. On reference to the last page of No. 68, Parliamentary Papers, (above quoted) it will be seen that Greenwich has no pre tensions whatever, on the score of population, number of houses, or taxation, to this invidious preference. The inhabitants of Chelsea are not conscious of any inferiority on their own part, that should exclude them ; or of any superiority on the part of the inhabitants of the Tower, Finsbury, Holborn, Lambeth, or Greenwich districts, over them, that could justify the peculiar favour be stowed, by the bill, upon those districts, in pre ference to Chelses. If Greenwich he justly dis anguished as the asylum of British sailors, Chel sea is not less distinguished as the asylum of British soldiers :—any preference given to the one over the other, cannot fail to excite jealousy. Had not the other five districts been elevated to the rank of separate • boroughs, Chelsea would not seek such advancemeut, but would have rested perfectly content with her :tail' of equality. She has not desired, and does not desire any favour or preference ; all she seeks is, that she may not be consigned to a disreputable and per nicious exception. The interests to be protected, in Chelsea, are shown to be most important ; tha qualifications of her inhabitants to elect fit and proper Members of Parliament, are not inferior to those of the inha- ' bitants of the other toetropeNtaa districts. For these reasons it is considered just and right, that Chelsea should at least be pl;:ced in schedule D, of the Bill of Reform, and be threby enabled to return one member to serve in parliament. THE LATE COACH ROBBERY.—Since the Con viction of Gilchrist for this crime, the Commercial, !link has, through his means, got back upwards of , 1,0001. of the sto!cn notes ; and Brown, his asso ciate, has been sent west along with a messenger, to show where the Tea are concealed. This has been a voluntary act on the part of Gilchrist, and will no doubt operate in his favour, should a pc-, tition be presented to the - CroWn for a commutation of his sentence.— Calecloniun Mercury. To facilitate their Majesties' passage down the river, and to prevent confusion Ind inconvenience to the spectators, it is purposed to have two parallel lines of vessels, to form a passage of about 150 feet width, consisting of the barges belonging to the several corporations and companies, steam vessels, and the large flat trading barges of the river, to be moored head and stern, at adistance of one hundred feet from each other ; and between each vessel to placed, a boom will be secured. to prevent the lines being broken ; along which, on the outside of tha passage, the Thames wherries, with company on board, may take their stations. The flat barges, floored with deals, will afford a convenient place for spectators ; when moored la a position and in a state to receive company ; and the bargemen, as well as the watermen, will feel an interest in paying strict attention to the means sug gested for preventing the confusion which might arise from their coming within the central line or passage lialgund for the pronsssiss. Such corporations and companies, swam of steam-vessels, owners of barges, and other per sons as may wish their vessels to occupy places in the line, are requested to give in the mime of the owner, and number and description of the vessel, barge, &c. on or before noon on the 25th instant, (addressed to Sir Byain Martin, Navy- Office,) and places will be assigned to them, under the superintendence of Mr. Brown, the Master- Attendant of Woolwich Dock-Yard. In the event of its being found impracticable to procure a sufficient number of barges to complete the double line, with the intervals occupied by the booms, every reliance will be placed on that general spirit of accommodation which must be prevalent on an occasion when his Majesty's gracious and spon taneous determination to go by water is intend.4l for the benefit of the watermen, who wjll no doubt do all in their power to avoid crowding in upon the boats going in the procession ; and the conveniene. , of suspending operations or movements by stesuo vessels, and the trading barges, amid such an a, semblage of boats, on this occasion, will be obvious. Until one o'clock in the day, oFenings will hr loft across the line, midway between each of the bridges, for the occasional passing. of wherries, lte. These openings, which are to be boomed off to pre vent the wherries, &c. passing up or down ;1.0 line, will necessarily be closed at and after that hour, in order to levee the passage clear and unit,- rerrupted for the Royal Procession to and from London Bridge; parties, therefore, going off t the stationed barges after one o'clock, must he put on board from the outside of the line newest . to the shore where their re •pective vessels n: o moored. Boats will be stationed at intervals within tbe lines, in order to be ready to give asset-a:lce in c::se .of accidents : and offisers beloa:iner to the Them; 4 Police, with other authorized peisons i will le) placed in vatious situations, t ) preeetve the I . s :until their IStajesties' return. r The Lord Mayor, in the exercise of Ile jarisdi..- Lion on the Thames, has given the ree,niee , directions for securing a comeliance nail these regulations.

Much as had been expected from the s g )lend-1 preparations at Guildhall, it is impossible Oat th... spectacle could, if the entertainment bad eiseit place, been at all comparable to that n hid] will be displayed on the Ist of August. The Royal tent is to be pitched at the Lomlim tilde of the bridge, near to the •Pbtee on which Fishmongers' Hall stood, and.• will commies.; ea unobstructed view of the whole line of road to the Southwark side.

The awning which is to be plats d over the long table will extend to the length.•ef about 400 feet ; there are to be three roofs to the large awning, so that the company will he as effec tually secured against bad weather as if they were to be shut up in the Guildhall, which the art of man could never make worthy of.a comparison with the scene which will be presented on August I; on London-bridge,the.river, and the surrounding neigh bourhood. Flags and colours," with emblems and devices, will wave above the heads of the com pany, and cannon will-be fired at intervals. ,Bands of music will. ; in various pail's of .the arena, perre; in, • during the ceremony, a2;l everything that can con tribute to render the eetectaele •delightfull to *Ur public will be done; at lettst-se far as the Coneelt tee may be able to satisfy tite jtujilic curiosity.
