Lord SHEttnontiE took the Chair, amid the ap plause oldie Meeting. His Lordship read the Re quisition originally presented to the High Sheriff, as well as that signedby the County hlagiarates, is pur ,iiance of which the Meeting was called. Sir W. Guise, the County Member, opened the busii.ess of the day. He thought the present a um nieht of sufficient consequence to call for the avowal of every man's opinion who had the good of his coun try at heart. They were all, unhappily, too much I aware of the present crisis of public affairs; they must have all seen, with the deepest regret, the recent oc currences which agitated the Country ; they must have seen, with the most melancholy feelings, the im proper and uncalled-for introdiktion into Parliament of eliminatory evidence against the Queen, which would not be admissible in any Court of Justice throughout the Kingdom—(l-kar, hear). Equally repulsive tp the feelings of the Nation was the pro duction of witnesses from distant countries, under cir cumstances, and connected with previous arrange ments, of so suspicious a character, as to justify the opinion which prevailed, that these witnesses had been suborned to give evidence. These proceedings, so utterly at variance with the habits and institutions of this country, had created great uneasiness and general agitation—(Hear). There was of late, and there still continued to be, great distress throughout the country; it was the duty tif Ministers at such a time not to exasperate public feeling, but to endea vour, as far as their means extended, to alleviate pub lic distress, and to allay public discontent. As, how ever, the constitutional and responsible Advisers of the King had neglected this important part of their duty, it became the bounden duty of men of weight in the country to assist the People in making known ti.eir real situation to his Majesty, in a moderate, a , t oper, and legal manner. If the teal opinions and .hsttesses of the People once reached the Royal ear, he had the utmost confidence in the disposition of his Majesty to relieve his faithful People—(Hear). It was, therefore, of the fir .t importance that the County of ,iloucester should come forward thus openly and pol itely to express its sentiments. He concluded by moving the Address, which entreated the King to dismiss his pi e-ent Ministers, whose system of foreign and domestic politics had entailed so many evils on the Nation, and was alike derogatory to the power and dignity of the Crown, and destructive of the tights and best interests of the People. It also re commended, that with a change of Ministers, there should be likewise a change of measures—(Applause). Mr. CoLcilesven seconded this motion. lie con curred in expressing the hope, that when this Ad dress was laid at the foot of the. it would not only produce the desired effect, but also that the ex ample of this County would be followed by the others throughout the Empire, until the unequivocal ex pression of public feeling was completely demon strated—( Great applause).--Ile cordially hoped that his Majesty could dismiss from his Councils a set of men, who, lather than quit the profits and emoluments of office, preferred embroiling the coun try in civil conflict, and risking the dignity and se curity of the Throne, by the introduction of a prose cution against the Queen, after such a measure had been deprecated bitthe House of Commons, and de clared by that body to be " derogatory from the dig nity of the Crown, and injurious to the best rights and interests of the Empire"—(Loud applause). The Address was then unanimously adopted by the Meeting. Mr. RICARDO came forward, ana was received with masks of approbation. He said that he was, sure this Meeting felt as he did, respecting the con -1 duct pursued on a late occasion in the House of Peers, by the Noble Chairman and by Lord. Ducie—(Loud cheers) —The County, be was sure, could feel but one' sentiment upon that conduct : it was entitled to their fullest and most unqualified approbation—(liciterated cheers). —These Noble Lords bad, in an independent ' and manly manner, opposed his Majesty's Ministers during the prosecution of the Queen. It became dal County to express their opinion of the conduct of the Noble Lords who had acted in so independent a man ner, and his object at present was to propose to the* a vote of thanks—(Hear, hear!). —He would take this opportunity of declaring his hearty approbation) of the terms of the Address, as well as those used b 7 the Gentlemci, who hag spoken upon it. Indeed, he had anything in the way of complaint to urge cavil with, with, it was, that the Address had not gone as far as it ought to !Dime gone; for it appeared to him, that many of the evils of which they complained were to be traced to the present constitution of tie House of Commons—(Applause).—lf that House fairly and fully represented, as it ought, the People at large,. the country would not now have to deplore such an accumulation of wrongs--(Afplause). It would have been 'quite impossible for Ministers to have pur sued a career so diametrically opposite to the gene raLopiuion, of the country—(Great applause) The THE ARMY. MILITARY PROMOTIONS.

The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to issue their warrants for bonding wine, brimstone, cork, hemp undressed, iron in bars, kelp, mahogany, pitch, rosin, staves, tallow, tar, timber, toto of tur. pentine, oil of turpentine, wood, zaffre and corball, at the port of Shoreham, which will be a very great accommodation to the trade. A letter from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Vico, at St. Helena, dated November the 7th, 1820, says— " Since our arrival here I have obtained a pass to visit the new house at Longwood, which is preparing fur the future residence of BONAPARTE, a short de scription of which follows :—lt is within 150 yards of his former abode, and resembles an English gen tleman's seat, excepting that it is only one story high, has two wings, and in the whole fifty-seven rooms ;' the most handsome of which, 1 think, is the one ap propriated to his library. It will not be furnished , until his removal into it, which, report says, will take place in about two months. General BERTHA ND'S house is scarcely twenty yards distant. The chance of seeing BONAPARTE rarely happens. I learnt from a 1 person whoaccompanied me throughout the house,that he rises very earl, takes exercise on his horse in the most secluded spo y ts, and afterwards works very hard with a spade in his garden. He refuses to have strangers introduced to him. On my way to Long,,__ wood, a place very sitnilar to the Devil's Punch-boil - 1, (on the road from Portsmouth to London) attracted my notice : it is inlet ior in size, but is form very like. St,. Helena abounds with valleys, interspersed with. country-seats; it is fortified all round, and numerous telegraph posts are planted, whereby vessels are de scried ninety miles distant. The watching regulations are very strictly enforced; the ships of war row guard every night, by a select parole. No American vessels are allowed to anchor; and even those of other nations ate hastened away immeitiately that their ••rs ate supplied." Gentlettsan- concluded by proposing a vote o thanks to Lords SL•erborre and Duck. ,The motion Was unanimously agteed - to, and fa timed by three cheers. Mr. SNOWDEN suggested, that a similar compli ment should be paid to the Duke of Bedford, and Lords Grey, 11rdland, ar•.d Carnarvoti • Several voice; exclaimed, " And Lord Erskine." This suggestion was instantly embodied in the form of a motion, and General Go isit, in seconding it, said that he wished every other Noble Lord in the Ifoose of Peers had fdlowed the high example of the distinguished Peers whose names had been just mentioned. Had others ,equally obeyed the dictates of their conscience, in stead of yielding to undue influence, the Queen, in stead of having a majority of nine against her, would have bad such fa triumphant number of voters in her favour on the second reading ef the Bill, as would have carried her triumphant through the whole pro cess. The 'notion was carried unanimously. General t:ISE moved, that the Address be signed by their Noble Chairman, on the part of the Meeting ; and then, that it be presented to his Majesty by the County Mernbers--(Applause). Carried unanimously. Sir WILLIAM GUISE could not for a moment doubt that tl:e Address of so loyal and respectable a body would be received by the King in a suitable manner, and attended to in tl.; way best suited to the nature of the case. He had only to assure them that he should take the Addres without delay to London, and put it into the hands of his Majesty at the very first Levee which the King should hold—(Cheers). Colonel BERKELEY heart►ly concurred in all the sentiments expressed in the Address. His object in presenting himself to the Meeting now, was to move a vote of thanks to Sir William Guise for proposing, and to Mr. Colchester for seconding the Address, which had received their unanimous approbation.— This motion WAS also carried unanimously. Mr. Wivroutt HARRIS concurred entirely in the preceding business, and more particularly in that . tribute of their respect which was so justly due to their distinguished Chairman. They had conducted themselves with the sense of dignity and character which became men exercising one of the proudest and dearest privileges yet reserved to Englishmen. The thanks he had now to propose for their concur rence were to the eleven Magistrates who had cou venc:l the Muting alter theclligh Sheriff's refusal to obey the Requisition, presented to him from some of the principal personages of the county. • —(.4pplause)r— They were more particularly called upon to thank these Magistrates for coming forward in support of the rights and privileges of the county, when the High 'Sheriff interposed his authority to obstruct the exercise of both, far as he had the power to act in hostility to the avowed wish of the county—(Hear !). Ile regretted that the High Sheriff had so far forgot ten his dutf. He (Mr. Harris) should have thought, that an Englishman. exercising a highly important and constitutional office, would hive been ashamed to have recorded a refusal to a Requisition signed as that had been, which their High Sheriff had disre garded—(Hear, hear!). • The vote of thanks to the Magistrates who had convened the Meeting was carried by acclamation. Mr. \VD:roue Haunts then said he must take the sense of the Meeting on the conduct of the High Sheriff—(Hear, hear ! ).—When men of office did wrong, those who were likely to be injured by their misdeeds ought not to be afraid of expressing their opinions, in the hope of deterring other official pet sons from pursuing similar misconduct—(Hear !). He lamented the unpleasant situation in which the' High Sheriff was at present placed. [Some voices exclaimed, "Isit in the Kings Bench?") He had too much feeling when a man was down to kick it him, and should rather at any time extend the hand of good fellowship to lift up a fallen adversary— (Cheers). —But it *as quite impossible for them, without utterly abandoning their duty, to overlook the misconduct of Sir E. B. Sandys at such a crisis as the present. Several persons exclaimed, ;hat it was not worth while to notice the conduct of . the High Sheriff, which they ought rather to treat with contempt ; while others (and the great majority) thought a simple vote of censure necessary. The vote of censure upon the High Sheriff was then passed unanimously. Sir WILLIAM GUISE then proposed, the thanks of the Meeting to their. Noble Chairman, for his dig nified conduct in the Chair. The motion was seconded by Colonel BERKELEY, who said, that it was highly gratifying to the county of Gloucester to have such Noble Lords a; their Chairman resident among them, who were always ready to stand forward for the preservation of the best rights and interests of the people, and to guard them from oppreision—(Cheers). The CUAIRNI AN expressed his thanks for this mark of their respectful attention, and the Meeting broke up amid loud cheers. . a On Thursday left, Fnarcers JEFFREY, Esq. was in stalled Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. Yesterday afternoon, between two and three *loll, as a Gentleman was proceeding in his chaise along Beech-street and Barbican, his chaise.coat was stole; by a man who had been running behind lor some distance; the roblsery, bowel cr, was observed by several persons who were passing, and the thief was immediately pursued. He ran up Prince's-street, Barbican, and into Charles-street, where he dropped .the coat at the corner of a court, which was not a thoroughfare, and, being so closely pursued, he ran into a house, and up stairs, took off his own hat and coat, and came down stairs, with the utmost assur ance, to inquire whet the disturbance wit about? but, though.so differently attired, lie was immediately re cognized and secured. The Gentleman to whom the coat belonged arrived at. the mbrnent, and gave him in charge to a constable, who conveyed him to the Giltspur-street Compter. Cove Eactrocor, Mesc-rtes, J.tx.
