On TsiesdNMeeting the Co ^f Middlesex use; held at the Mermaid 'las ern, Hackney, to consider the propriety oh addres•ing the Queen, as well as the measures contemplated by Parliament against her Majesty. The e room Was mailed before one o'clock. Amongst the comea larg ny were several well...tressed females, who took the greatest interest in the proceedings; end they remained during the whole tone, though the meeting anted till near halipast five o'clock. It was about halt I past one o'clock when the inure prominent parties to the meeting entered the room. Some Members of the C - suittee with white wands entered the room, and were followed by Mr. Sheriff Parkins, attired in a Coin t dre ss, Mr. Alderman Wood, a ids the venerable Dr. Pair, lean ing on his arm, Mr. S. Whitbread, M. P., Mr. P. Moore, dc. Mr. Silesia - Panktaa opened the business of the Meet ing, and directed his Under Sheriff (Pollen) to read the Requisition. which was signed by 6S Freeholders. Mr. P. Mooati then stepped forward, and said he should have signed the Requisition hail he known of its being in agitation. He should always be happy to meet the Middlesex Freeholders; and he was glad they had so Patriotic a Sheriff to cumplv with their wishes. There were not always Patriotic Sheriffs, Mayors, and Magis trates. Hail not an accident on the road befallen sunup of those who weir expected, the duty of proposing the Resolutions would have fallen into abler beetle. The subject which they had to consider was the noisome, pestsfes ions, filthy green bag. (k laugh.) The Queen — and God protect her—(ii 1111 l rose Ittizsas)—the Queen — and God protect her--(cheers, end cries of Aineis)—was out the only object of consideration now; for in Winging her till is in question, their's were pm in issue; and in defending her tights they were only detending their own. The Bill of Pains and Penalties, which lie thought might be more properly called a Bill of Falsehoods and Perju ries—(applause );—if that Bill pawed, he sleiuld commie , it a disgrace to bet foot in the noise of Cu 11111 l ous. Three would then be an end of what he sliseatil call law. Bid be had still hope hum the Representatives of the People —fir the People, alter all, acre the moist stays; and if those Representatives did not go into Pas theme( to plo tect the people's rights, it *timid be better to be without a House of Cessations. As a Member of the House, he bad seen many greess bags. 'this last accursed Sleet' hag was only a prolongation ul the green bag system, which began with Mr. Pitt; and if it continued, it would de stroy the Considistion. Fur the last twenty years he opposed the monstroise siren Issas, both in and out of Parliament; for the Green Bags sod the Civil List were equally the weans of severe and corrupt inessures. In this 1111 l ance his Majesty, alio bad as good a heart as eves was formed, was ks pt is ignorance. lie lamented this—but the green bags hail been the ground wusk of all sorts of vile measures. Persons had been sent to pri son on their information t and their liberties had been suspended on like authority. Whet' this last Wren bag was presented, his language in the Rouse was this—dud it raised islarsti—reasoising Owe other green bags, he thought they might 'eve themselves the trouble of saps pointing a Selert C thee; they might as well turn the green bag upside down, and write "guilty" on it. — (Cheers.) A worthy and Patriotic Barimet,—(cries where is he 2) —had held similar language. But in the Commons a pause had been obtained. They smelt it there, and they found it foul, rather fottl.—(A. lanels.) —The pause, however, was ohlaiued, and it has done good. SOIL however, their was the Bill, and it ft passed, away went their Cede of Laws; they would then have to lament that they did not Ititr feIC MlOll. F. amble o f the Bill, as it' they tied got a Cu mll ve ipelus P tsie or Canal Bill; and a celebrated Judge amongst them had said, that the (Aileen was entitled to ism mute consideration than the humblest individual iis the cutsitisy. He would in loam with the Nettle and Learned Lerd—but let her Majesty have as 11111C11 all Old Bailey ;does eding there would be grand and petty Juries, the inssictineut with the charges specified F , the names of the witnesses on the back, etc. lane Sir . Burdett and Mr. liobliouse entered the room amide' siert applause.] The absence of the Grand and Petty Jusy might be excused —bat he could not excuse the auseece of the prosecutor : alto was the accuser e Let an accuser step forward. The charges Caine from those who had pur sued the Queen since ISOO. He concluded with Mises vtug, that the question of the Queen was important, as it en abled thesis to look at their own rights. Let them protect the laws, and they would protect the Unrest; and in doing sothey would show themselves to be Britons worthy of such a Queen —(Applisitse.) He proed a series uf Re solutions condoling with the Queen a u ol iecomuseudlng an Address to her Majesty. Dr. Paiß seconded the Resolutions, Mr. P. Moore observing fur him, that an h o nourable otisament of the Church, Dr. Pair, begged leave tu second the Results tions. (Applause.. • Mr. MILLI objected to the statement in the Resolution* that the Govermuent consisted of a" linsited aloasrelty" it consisted of the King, who was bossed by oath to act according to the laws, a limited As isiocracy. and a li mited Democracy. (Hear.) lle kuew that Alr.Canning and others were in the habit of calling the Ministers the Government; but they arm no more the Government than were his Majesty's grulllll4. (Laughter and applause.) Ilse Resolutions was *titled to obviate this objection. An Addles* was afterwards agreed to, mid the Siteriff, the Members for Miudlesex, and a Deputation of Free holders, are to present it. Mr. Tnotilesun desired that the Sheriff %atilt' give ample notice of the time and place 01 the 'bitching to pro ceed with the Address. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WHITIRIAD said, that he should most cheerfully comply with their wishes. 't hose also stolid foto isrd for the Queen were assailed with the old cry of debiting to raise tumult; but who• were the pasties that raised such cry ? The petsons who had frequently but too successfully opposed themselves to the people were now weak enough to think that they could tyisannize over the Quern. Hes Majesty, however, by her courage and tirCl6 , loll bait struck her enemies with tensor and dismay. 'I hey bail got into a scrape, and they had offered romproinise to get wit et it. The Addles* to the Quiets lie isad ds a dis grace to the House of Commas.

The Hun. Gentleman stated that Ale. Ilytig was abroad with his family. Mr. WAITIIMASI (having been lousily called for) said he hail abstained for suatiy years past Irma ittleifeitsig with the meet:nits and proceedings of the County, con fining himself Hun e particulary to the City.

A Petittun to the Lords having been proposed and agreed to. air F. tienneTT (who was loudly called fur) said, he only just arrived in town, and having heard of the Meet ing, he derailed it Isis duty to attend ; but he had hoped to lie allowed to remain a !Okla spectator Lathe spout AlletOlS feelings of the Aleetilig.

Mr. Homtuuse was also loudly called for, and he viewed the attacks on the thieve only of a Lll4lacter with those made on classes of the people. Thanks having lived ward to Alderman Wood, he stepped forward amidst loud applause to return his ac• knowledgments. lis the Commons, at punlic meetings, aim in pl is ale rocieties, he had manitaiised silence les peeling the Queens case.

He saw that the Queen was in the hands of bewayers; and that but tur smite decisive step, she possitily might sieve' have the opportimity of coming to this counto. The Queen, hoar% er, he was glad to haunts thou, was in the highest spirits. (Applause.) As a woof of this, not 24 hours before the tone of his addressing them, being ' engages' off reasoning on her silliation, she observed, " I would not change toy situation for that uf any other woman in the world." he could add, that it was her Ma jesty's intention to go Irons the house which was prelim' ' mg fur her in town, and would be ready in a few days, every day to the Hume of Lords, amt • einiain daily ao long as the proceedings lasted —(tillsUriise applause.) — As to the menus of the question, Ile Was stile they would pardon Isis vleisee; as to their thanks, knowing, what lie did, lie had none no mine than his duiy.—(Appiause 'Thanks having been voted to the bileild, lite Meeting was dissulved.

YARMOUTH, AUGUST 10. This past has been a week of pride to this town, which has now fully gamed the appellation of being one of the first watering places in England. The company at our races on Tuesday and Wednesday was immense, and much more so than on former occasions. and the sport excellent, as will appear by the following particulars.

Several bye-matches concluded the sports of the days, and the races altogether eould not do otherwise than give general satis faction to every one, at any rate, it' we might judge by the ex pressions of the different countenances. The company was rather more numerous on the first than the second day ; but the sport on the second day was the best ever witnessed here. The Ball in the evening was crowded to excess ; it was o p ened by Mr. Gur ney and Miss Bateman. The theatre. gardens. and other plates of amusement, had also their share of visitors. The Hon. Geo. Anson, Mr. Scott, and Capt. Gtuit:imre, are appointed stewards for the ensuing year. The Bishop of Exeter has accepted the offer of the See of Lincoln. Dr. Carey, Prebendary of West minster, is to be Bishop of Exeter ; and, most pro bably, the Rev. Robert Stevens will succeed to his prebendal stall. The Bishop of Llandatf is made Dean of St Paul's; und Dr Frodshain Hodson, Principal of Brazennose, succeeds to the Regius Professorship of Divinity, which, it is said, will va cate his Headship.
