A :Meeting was held at the Guildhall, a few weeks ago, consisting of the Inhabitants of the Close as well as of the City, and in the convening of which the Senior Bailiff exceeded his authority. The Inha bitants of the Close are not wit.;•in his Magisterial district. He might with equal propriety have as-' sembled the Inhabitants of Walsall. At that Meet jag a loyal Address to his Majesty was agreed to without any reference, as the supporters of that Ad dress avowed, to the conduct of Ministers, or to the question respecting her Majesty, but which it now appears to have cestertly intended as an approbation of all that has been done, and even of all that is in tended to be done by the Ministers against her Ma kay. The use of the Town Hall was refused by a majority of the Corporation, but the use of the Great ltoom at the George was handsomely given to the B.equisitionists for the purpose of the Meeting, which took place yesterday. JAMAS EPORALL, Esq. the Junior Bailiff, was una nimously called to the Chair. He stated thy ob jects el the Meeting in a neat address. .Mr. SIMPSoN then addressed the Meeting ; he strewed, by reference to the Requisition for the first Meeting, and to a paragraph in the Paper accompa nying, that the express object of that Meeting ap peared, and was understood by those who were not ie the secret, to be merely an expre sion of loyalty and attachment to the King (in thich they were all ready to concur), and altogether different from the present question, which, from all he had heard of the proceedings (for he was not in town), seemed to have, been stu.iiously avoided whatever idea it might be intended, by a side wind, to convey to the world— but having neglected the opportunity,.if any they had, it was the more incumbent upon them now to Tescee themselves and the City from the stigma of having appeared by their silence to approve of the late measures of his Majesty's Ministers. He then admitted the respectability of the Gentlemen who bad signed the first Requisition, particularly of the Clergy, who, to the honour of the Established Church, were all ince of the first education, and the highest character, and lamented the difference of opinion -which seemed to exist on the late proceedings; but be denied that the sentiments of the inhabitants at Lase- had been, or were likely to be, obtained by a Meeting so called. That icappeared by the division cm the Reverend Beech of Bishops, that there were questions apes which men even of the greatest learn ing :tight &area • he said, that he had heard of no seditious or blasphemous publications in this neigh bourhood, and he was sure all who heard him would do their utmost to detect them, if any existed; and it appeared frees several convictions which he enu 'berated, that the laws were sufficient to put them down. Ile then alluded shortly to the objects of the Resolutions, wad the Addresses to be proposed. The Resolutions, which were uptaimoudy agreed to, were read separtitely to the Meeting and proposed by the Bee. rtiOWAS HARWOOD. Mr. Alderman Sea NLIBY, who seconded the It es o. !aims, etpre ft.: his loyalty to the King and his seal mid ardour fee the Constitution, in the warmest terms. la allusion to the extravagant expenditure of the public money, he contrasted the conduct of Ministers with that of a person of small income, who is con tinually sysnidiug more than he receives, that it must inevitably load to insolvency, and bring the country, where such system prevails, sooner or later to ruin.. mashougbt necking but a chap o f system would save the country, and he had no eof better times while the present Ministers remained in power. With respect to the Queen, he rejoiced at the proposal of an Aside's, to-her Majesty, to congratulate her upon - bar lars triumph over her tormidable enemies; sonic of the witnesses being the most nicked, perjured, and cfiebolical miscreants that ever disgraced an English Court of Ju tice. . the Addresses, foenaed upon the Resolutioris, were then lead, and agreed to with the loudest seek. ✓ation.
