As early as four o'clock the great room was crowded with an assemblage of persons whose appearance, demeanour, and gene ral conduct, denoted them to be men f sterling respectabili. yin the City, whose feelings were unbiassed by the influence of 'heated and mistaken patriotism, and whose opinions were in unison with those cordial and independent sentiments which must ever pervade the minds and hearts of the true supporter* of the British (institution.
