THR QUEEN. MEETING OF THE WARD OF BRIDGE. A Mreling of the Inhabitant rouseholders of the ard Midge, %%as held yesterday at Fishmonger.' !fall, Thames -street, for the purpose of taking into cons:deration the propriety of presenting an Address to her Majesty. 'I he Meeting wss the fullest we have ever witnessed io so small a ward. The Chair was taken soon after twilve o'clock by Mr. Deputy Child, who shortly stated the object of the meeting, which he called in consequence of a requisition most respectably, and it ore nnmerous'y signed than any he had ever before re: rived upon any occasion. My. THOR if HILL then rose to propose the resolutions. Ire took a rapid view of the treatment her Majesty had received, and remarked with much acuteness upon the injurious mode of trial adopted, the refusal of a copy of the charges, and a list of the witnesses. There was one argumetit which he observed had not been tirade use of by the supporters of her Majesty's cause, and which appeared to him to be a strong one against the mode of her trial. Blac' stone, in his remarks upon impeachment, after stating that the House of Commons could not properly jndge in cases of that sort, and could therefore only impeach ; but before o hat Court, he asks, shall this Impeachment be tried ? Not before the ordinary tribunals, which would he na • _ turally swayed by the authority of so powerful an ac cuser as the House of Lords, especially when it was considered how the Lower House was constituted, and hat influence and interests the Lords, many of them, kil in the election of the Illethbors of that House? Was the Ilun•e of Common., then, the place in which an individual accused by the Peers could be the best r•sored of an impartial trial ? With regard to the vi . tite.ses produced for the prosecution, he pronounced t.errt a disgrace to any Court, and there was not ano ther Court in the kingdom where the♦ would not have been committed for their perjuries and prevarication.. lie remembered a short time since a man was cam inive,l to give a character to a prisoner, who, it camp out, hail been convicted before, and that the witness knew the fact, although he was giving him the best of characters; fur this wilful perjury the witness was committed by the Court, while the perjuries and pre varications of these Italian evidences not only escape pnuishment, lint absolutely greet with pry and reward. fit should he nrred that their meeting was preina- rure. that th; trial was not at an end, and that her Majesty IT :IS not yet pr. pounced innocent, he would r.ply—the whole country had pronounced her inno. rent. lhere was, however, no occasion to wait the derision of the House of Lords; the ev . dence was be. fore the public, they had the same means of forming joarnsent as the House itself, and they constituted Court more impartial. Mr. Thornhill concluded. [midst loud applause. by moving the fist Resolution, which was seconded by Mr. &mil, and carried ottani- Mr. Ttiontennt. then moved the sera' l Resolution. Mr.J. SAVNI DINS rose wit's great pleasure to se it. He was not averse to, but the warm friend of h's Majesty's (ioveransent; be acquitted them of all bad intention ; be felt that her Majesty bad been 111 used, ind was an object of compassion ; therefore, in differ ing from his friends on this occasion, he thought he *as giving the hest support to the Throne. Even if the Queen had failings, they ought nevertheless to sup p )rt her, considering the former persecutions she had nttilergone. The reason assigned by the King, that 'lig inclinations were not under his contronl, he con- :eked by no means such as ought to satisfy the na tl:)rt far the disappointment of the hopes formed on so w a7ently autpicions an union. The Resolution wa• agreed to unanimously. Mr. C %aim RICItT. in a short speech, seconded the I ! I 'd Resalution. which was pot and agreed to. 'I he 4th Resolution was seconded by Mr. Carrutherg, od carried. The sth Resolution, respecting the omission of her Pa . ; sty's name in the Liturgy, was seconded by Mr. S•cNoens, and carried. The 6th Resolution was seconded by Mr. Voss, and passed, with four dissentients. On the she«• of hands for the 7th Resolution, which w seconded by Mr. Ion( Ke, the dissentients increased to nine.--The other Resolutions were carried. On the Address being, read. which purported to be We native,. of the Deputy, Comumn Cortneilmen and ,n.I Inhalvitanta, Mr. WRENCH asked if the Deputy [Ol C4lllltlloll Council had given their assent ? Mr. N. SAVPIDE s Said, he, for one, should cer tainly attend on the presentation of the Address, and he thought it would he quite as complimentary to the R'orsh► Deuuty, if the lientleman would leave him to epeg k for .himself. PewTatsa made some observations ee the ah. truce of the Alderman (Sir M. illosham), and thought notice deght to be taken of the situation in which the Ward was placed with regard to its Chief tinker. Mr. Loren replied, !hat application had Men made to the Court of Aldermen on the sit/siert, hut the Court dismissed them almost with a rebuke. The.Addre•s was then agreed to. AN:pte of Thanks was passed to Mr. Alderman Wood,'lrs also to Mr. Thornhill, the mover and se conifr'of the Resolutions, and to the Chairman. Tile two lattei lientlemen returned thanks, 'and the blessing adjourned at half an hour past two o'clock. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COVRT OF KINGS BENCH. Oct. 16.

Mr. Love, our of the Commissioners of Police, was in the streets when th7re was an unfortunate riot nith some Of the soldiers of the 13th.

Lord HER swen, in his charge, commented severely upon the arrogance of any indiritlaal who should at tempt to wrest from an officer that sword which he held under a commission from his Majesty, and which he was using in the execution of his duty. It was a crime almost as high as any know in the law. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, in so far as the prisoner did forcibly and ♦iolently lay hold of En silen Tinling's sword, ■nd attempt to break it, but fr the good character of the panael, recommended him to the merc♦ of the Court. The LORD JI:STICI CLasts, on passing sentence, oh served, that no Magistrate, or any other person, had a right to deprive an officer of his artns, and that the violent seizure, by the prisoner, of Ensign Tinling's sword, was the cause of his receiving so many blows from behind, as it was out of his power to defend himself. lie was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and afterwards to find security of GOI. to keep the peace for three years thereafter..

They instantly chaimil them in their cell, and examined the prison all over, but found all the rest of the prisoners safe. EXTRAORDINARY DRPRIDATInNS.—A discovery has been made within the last few days in the City, which is likely to prove of the most serious consequence to the Corporation, and which was brought to light in the fol lowing singular manner:—.l gentleman in the profes sion of the law happening to go personally to Liscbeese monger's for some article, was surprised to sees number of papers scattered on the counter, which, or 'amusing, be discovered to be opinions of the Judges and great Law Officers on certain City qnestions; alma amber of deeds and bonds, executed between the Corporation and their tenants. After representing to the shop-keeper the great value of those papers, he begged to know where he got them; to which the man answered that he was in the habit of purchasing such, for waste paper, from an old woman, whom his predecessor in the burr- Ness had represented to him as ea old eadonar. The Gentleman then informed him, that he was iiiiimately acquainted with Mr. Newman, the City Solicitor; that he should make it his business to wait on lam iutineili. ately, and to be careful nut to destroy any more of the papers, bet to collect together all he bad of them. This discovery, as might hays been expected, led to an imme diate investigation, and suspicion fell on the laundress at Guildhall, who was accordingly conveyed before the Alderman, and privately examined, when the cheese monger proved that she was the same person from whom he had purchased the papers, and she sold him to the amount of 7s. per week, all of which she stole from Mr. Newman's office. Since her first examination another shop has been discovered, where she sold an equal span tity each week.—The documents tiros destroyed and such consequence as to render the loss irreparable.
