It can hirdly be doubted that these proceedings had 'Moe reference to, or were hastened by, the dan gers to be apprehended from the Meeting advertised to be held this day at and therefore we next turn our attention to that subject. Saturday a letter was received at each of the Police Offices from Mr. Beckett, the Under-Secretary of State, containing instructions for maintaining the preservation of the public peace this day, and to pre vent any riot or disturbanie from the Meeting at Spa fields, in consequence of which a Magistrate from each of the Police Offices attended at the Secretary of State's Office. Oa their return to their respective offices several extra constables were sworn in, each Police officer having a certain station appointed him, with a nitmlsel of constables tinder him, and each stationed so as not to form a crowd in themselves, but still to act in concert. The Lord Mayor, on whom the care of the safety of the City more directly devolve% has been equally attentive to his department. On Saturday his Lord. ship gave notice at the Stock Exchange, at Lloyd's, and other central situation' in the City, that he would be glad to have the assistance of all the special con stables that could possibly attend. In one word— the City tight Horse, the Artillery Company, the regular and special constables, abd the whole of the police of the city are in attendance at the different stations assigned to them. A Magistrate presided at each of the Offices all day yesterday, and sent their officers round to the different public-houses at night, to see they were Clear of all improper company, and made them shut op at au early hour. Astute= pieces of artillery passed aim, Blatt ftiatobridge yesterday afternoon, in addition to other military preparations.

He then proposed thit Mr. Ctatait should be called to the chair. This hAng instantly acceded to; Mr. CLAIM advanced aid addressed the meeting. He stated, that in consequence of the resolutions of 'the Meeting held there on the 2d of DeceMber, agreeing to petition the Pane* kEGINT and both Houses of Parliament, for a reformation of all the abuses that bad 'crept into the administration of the affairs of the nation ; the Petitions bad been ac cordingly presented. the one through the Secretary of State for the HoMe Department, and that to the House of Commons by Lord Cochrane (Apadoore.) The latter, he was happy to inform this respect able Meeting, had been ordered to lie on the table. —He had also, he said, communicated to Lord Co. chrane and Sir Francis Burdett the other Resolu• don requesting their presence at this Meeting.

Mr. HUNT now proceeded to address the Meeting. Having again rec6nimended silence, he stated that, agreeably to the resolutions of the Meeting 'of the Vd December, Mr. Clarke had transmitted to Sir Francis Burdett and Lord Cochrane the petition and Resolutions then passed. He had the pleasure to state, that it had received a most cordial recep don from Lord Cochrane ; but, he was sorry to state, that Sir Francis Burdett had not even the politeness to When any written answer'. if Sir Francis was destitute of *common feelings for the distresses of his fellow-creathrts, he might at least not have been deficient in the idea of Common good breeding.— He deigned to state M die Gentlemen who waited un him for an answer, that, although he appealed of some part of the Petition, he could not appiove of many pans ark and Would not support it j nor would he find it conlenient to attend the Meeting this day. a Lord Cochrane, my fellow-countrynien, stood for ward id the cause or humanity like a dale British sailor, and asserted his deterignatiou, *bile he lived, and bad a 'ram. in parliament,, narer to act. with duplicity to his countrymen, in-standing n'p for their rights at Englishmen, as WA• as using his best en deavours to remove the causer of the present distress.
