Yesterday • biehly numerous and respectable Meeting of the Cinzens of London Was held at the City of London Tavern, to take into conwlera lion the propriety of petitiouiibg Parliament for an Equalization of the Duty on Coals. About one o'clock Mr. Alderman Wo , nl. accom panied by Mr. Alderman Waitlmmo, Mr. %Vika'', Mr. Alderman Thorp, Mr. Byog, Mr. IL Simmer, and several others, entered the room. Mr. Alderman WOOL) was immediately called to the Chair. On taking the Chair the worthy Altlermaii ob served, that it was unnecessary for him to take up the time of the Meeting by ettlargiug on the occasion that brought them together ; it was a case that came home to the breast oh every citizen—they were all much intrusted in the tepeal of this emir. mous tax. At a Meeting held last year, it was determined that a Deputation s'lctild wait on the Minister, to convince him that the tax upon Coals was unequal and oppressive, and to ascertain what were the sentimeitts and opinions of Guyer ))))) rot upon the subject. A Deputation accoidiogly waited upon th e M ints ip t ,_-they had all lillrrVleW with the Chancellor of the Lxclirquer, Lord Sidinnutli, and others belonging to the Adninitstratiolt, and those distitiguAled persons appeared to think, that what the citizens a‘keJ for was fairly their right. How ever, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, that Government could not promise to render any ser vice at so late a period of the Session, as the loves ligation of the sulject would take up ton moth time. but lie Whirs veil, that they might throw in iiieir Petition to Pauli:meld. The Committee had had no communication since that time with the Go. vertimeitt ; they thought it better to have full Yeti.. boos presented, and the sense of a general meet ing upon the subject. The worthy Cliairmuis went on to say, that the first interests of this great commercial city were deeply involved in the repeal of this tax ; our was that alone the great object of seeking fur its repeal—it was too true that it pressed must heavily upon the ;into, and tended much to aggravate the general distress. Ile said that lie had received a 11111111 W, of anonymous letters til the subject. Ile regretted that the writeis of these letters did not alba their nattier to them, because it would have given hint till opportunity of personally combat's% their opioirrits, and of removing impressions which he conceived to be erroneous. It was asserted that ttie t Wiens lit London wished to have this tax taken id their own shoulders, in order to place it upon the shoulders *of others. On the putt of his fellow-citizens lie disclaimed any such intention—his wish and their wish was, if possible, to have it altogether abolish.. ed ; but if that could nut be dune, he submitted, that, in point of justice and of reason, it should be come a general tax ; it would, if the burden were divided, be little felt, instead of being, as it now is, partial, oppressive, and severe. One of the letter* lie had already alluded to was sign ed " A Derbyshire Freeholder." The writer of this letter asserted, that if they succeeded in their present object, there would be an enormous duty laid ou outworked iron. In this the writer was cer tainly wrong. Here the worthy Alderman combat ed this position at some length. He said that the duty which the writer alluded to would tint amount to more than four shillings per ton on outworked iron, awl that so far from ilie repeal o f th e t o e ope rating to the injury of the iron trade, it would have a directly coutrarreffect. The quantity of Icoals consumed in ruining and other iron works was very considerable indeed, and the proprietors of these works would receive one hundred times a greater benefit than the loss they *oul.l sustain by means of the duty apprehended by the Derbyshire Freeholders. Mr. JACKS said, that it was dIffICLIIt to say why the Legislature ever thought of laying on heavy a duty on one of the frst tansies of life. It was curious to trace the origiii and increase or this WI, and from what history 11 is recorded about it, it would appear that it was first laid on as a tempo rary impost—but having been mice submitted in, it was not only rontinued but increased. The first duty on coals was laid on in the reigis of Richard 11. —a duty of 6(1., per ton was theta laid on for the purpose of fitting out two vessels of war. In the reign of Charles I. an additional duty of Gd. per clialdron was laid on coals for the support of six vessels of war. lu the reign of William 111, a heavy tax of ss. per chaldron was imposed ; this was impswed immediately on the termination of the war—the Notional Debt at that tune amounted to three millions, and this tax of .ss. the chaldron was laid on coals as a temporary expedient to meet the pressure of the times ; it was, however, continued, and in the reign of Anne a further tax of 2.5. was imoosed to defray the expense of building churches. —ln the reigns of George I. and of his present Majesty, there was a further addition of Is. V. per chaldron, and at this moment the whole tax on coals imported into London amounted to 9s. 4d. per chaldron, besides a sum of Gd. improperly added. 'rhos, upon the counties of Middlesex and Surrey, a sum of 9 411. is paid sin each chaldron of coals, whilst, in other parts of the kingdom, the duty unionists to but 6s. viol in swine places Clods are duty flee. Thus there is • SUM 143.. 4 , 1. more upon the citizens of London, than upon Huy sillier part of the kingdom The ciimoies of Middlesex and Surrey, conta • g 1,373,893 iishibitants, paid a duty on coals of 686,3341.-14 other counties paid a sum of about 660,000/.—and 21 other coun ties paid not a farthing. This. on the lace of so partial, so manifestly unjust and (sport:wive, as to call for an immediate consideration. That this oppressive duty severely affects all classes of citizens, was tuts true to be disputed ; but there was one class upon which it fell wall all its weighty oppression—the poorer class of citizens. Having beets for many years is public (Ayer as a large and 140pU1011a parish, he could speak with certainty, arising from his own immediate obsei swam, of the truly distressing effect of the lax. The least quan tity of tank a poor family could consular per week was our bushel, sometimes too and three. In the severity of winter they are unable to purchase this article, and all the other wretchedits saes of poverty are increased and imbittered by this prisatiou. if the Minister at Id listen to the application of the citizens of Loudon out the present occasion. and if Parliament took off this oppressive duty on coals, it would not, he said, be a case without a precedent. In 1793, the duty on coals in Scotland was taken off, and au additional duty lard on spirituous liquors—a precedent which lie conceived might, to the present instance, be fol lowed with good effect. From the returns, it is clear, he said, that the revenue arising from this tax has fallen off, and was likely to become still less. In 1817, the duty on coals, in London, amounted to six hundred and odd thousand pounds. The coals imported to that year to the Port of L lots did not amount, by 14,000 clialclrmis, to so much as the year before; and a still goo titer falling off was appreheisded. If the tax was to be cot:ollu ed, nothing was more reasonable or more fair than that it should he laid on equally ; but as it stood at present, it was unjust ai,d Wit - Sinai. The abatement of the present oppressive tax would, lie said, open 14 new source of employment to the poor in London and the neighbourhood. Mr. Davies denied that it was the object of the citizens of London to place any haldtii they com plained of ens the shoulders of uthera—they only wished to remove the burden flout themselves. Is was, he said, not a little surprising how little was known by the citizens of the duty they paid ; per sons, he was convinced, who untiusilly cotssuin ed a 111011.1111 d Clialdrflfla of coos, weir not aware that they paid half the duty they actually bore. It was, he said, at the present amulet,' musecessary to eider into any great detail um the subject, be cause lie hoped it would 110011 colDr huller Ike Con sideration of a Comstoittee of the House of Com mons, whew it would undergo a full and impartial investigation. He was happy to see many Hammitt ble 'Members of the House at the illeeting, who would, no doubt, give the aid of 0 sir Wrists and attention to the subject. The severity of the tax grew, lie said, out of the circuinsiancis of the times, the tax laid on in the reigis of ‘Villiatit did not operate so oppressively as it did stow. Inland collieries hail Isere' since cut kra, lout the coals they produced were conveyed to different parts of the kingdom. 'The tax at present was a grievous bur den—it was severe on all classes, but particularly distressing ois the poor. He lii.prd an 1111:111Hoolls effort would he made to produce its repeal. He was surprised that it had been so long and so silently submitted to. Here the CHAIRMAN observed, that having swell some Gentlemen retire from the wino, her begerd to say that a book to receive s ubseliptions was open in the adjoisiing room. He also begged to say that the Committee was at this MOlllelll in debt 111 a sum of 1301. Several other Gentlemen delivered their opinion', and after a series of Ite•olotrooa having been en tered into in favour of the repeal of the duty un Coal", the Meeting adjourned. THE BRITISH PRESS.

We have received a series of liainbargh Vipers of recent dates, but their coutentsare not of any importance. We have received Dutch Papers to the 13th instant. Accounts from the French frontiers repeat the intelligence, that the King of FRANC E has placed in active service a very considerable number of the half-pay Officers who had belonged to the old army. The expense, however, of the half-pay list is still a subject of complaint. As a matter of economy then, as well as of !Joh y, tins measure of the French Onvernmeof is to be up pistoled. We mold wish that it were imitated by the Ministers of Great Bittern, and thereby save to the country a very large sum of !Homy.

A circumstance has recently occurred at Verviers, which is the w,•re remarkable, us it nninifeste the existence of a spirit RlDOlig the workpeople sitmlar to that which we have lately witnessed among our own manufacturers. A Frenchman from Sedan had exhibited and offered for sale ut Verviers, a newly-insented cloth shearing-machine, lay which a sisigle workman could direct 80 pair of shears. The wort:people being apprised of this, were ap prehensive of bring thrown out of employment by the adoption of the machine, and on the 40 th of last mond► they SPAtill bled tumultuously and dr stro)ed it. Not satisfied with this success, they resolved to destroy all the other muchities in the place ; lint the Mayor of Verviers, foreseeing the probalnlty of this event, kid written to Liege for assistalice, and the Kees-d'arnies arrived from Liege in time to prevent them. Blood was shed on bath sides ; four men were severely wound ed. The proprietor of the new machine had wit out of the wxy at the first moment, otherwise be would have been ton► in pieces by the mob. Trunqu►llity was at length restored, hut the princi pal manufacturers, who are proprietors of machines, thought it necessary to have military guards in their houses and inanufacturit a for their protection. We have received New York Papers to the 24th I .et. A very important resolution has been nifered by Mi.
