I I' PIAILIC MEETING AT EGHAM. On Friday last, in pursuance of an invitation circulated through the district, a 'post numerous and respectable meeting of Nobility, Magistrates, ''Gentlensen, Clergy, and Householders in the neigh- Inuirhood of Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, was held in the Red Lion Assembly Rooms at Egham. Sir JOHN Gismos hoeing been unanimously called to the Chair. eiplained the objects of the meeting. They were assembled "to take into Con. sideration the terms of an Address to the King. hum bly expressing their loyalty stud affection to his Person, and their attachment end devotion to our glorious Constitution." It was scarcely necessary for him to remark. that the cause of their thus meeting toge ther involved no party feeling. nor coiled for any opinion upon the political questions which agitated the cannery. Their sole object was. at a time when the Throne and the Lows were equally thrrotened by violent and seditious doctrines, to proclaim their attachment to their Sovereign, rind declare their de ?promotion to uphold his constitutional power amorist every assault. NIT. Fatataturtat moved the Address. Fie began tiv assuring the Gentlemen be would confine the terms of the Address to that which had been ass nouns-est in the mince for the meeting--mainely, a loyal and dutiful expression of our allegiance to the King, and a tam decisi to maintain the Consii ttif under which we lived. lie thought it quite tinnecess4.y to touch upon. or even advert to. the state of politics, or the cor.duct of the Government. The great object of those Gentlemen who were assembled on the present occasion, he conceived t o toe to express their sentiments of attachment 'to the Monarchy under which we lived. and unfit:, which this great country had prospered, and which A was their determination to maintain unimpaired ; —a Monarchy limited to its powers, but invested with all the attributes which could contribute to its lustre and dignity, and its constitutional Nile t OM% possessing the means of gratifying stud reward -lig the subject. while at the same tune all exer t ise of despotism was so gitard4 as to render the interference of the Crown impracticable to the pre udice of the rights, the lilwrties, or lives of the peunle. It was minecessary for him to.enter at length lino any discussion on these points ; and having promised that he would not touch on the recent calamitous event which hat: intereitied and occupied the public attention for the last four months, he would only refer to the 'subject. abstaining (*tom all opinion either on its emiediesicy or result, to show r•tiat roust be obvioous to every Ins al titan in the ; namely. the advantage which had been taken of it by a vestal. corrupt, and prostituted ;.ro.i, to disseminate doctrines hostile to the feelings of every well-regulated mind. nod subversive of all that has heretofore been considered as sacred in the institutions of this country. It was to meet those dangers, to show that we were alive to them. :h .t Oita meeting was convened; and lie was persuaded it would be the object of the Address to show to the Crown that we were determined to ',contain iis rights, and to resist the effect of doe tillers hostile to the character slid honour of Eno lishasets, degrading, and earl) polluting our sacred and holy iostientions, defaming the person and lune tains of the King, and libelling the Legislot tore; doctrines at variance with those glorious institutions which have existed with advantage and benefit for centuries past —which were framed by the wisdom mod energy'of our ancestors—which were bequeathed t.i us as • 'rust, which we tire ho lin honour and in (reline to leave unimpaired, uniujured, to our po-te city. It weitild be unnecessary for hull to occupy their prne by any eulogium on the pre-eminent blessings ii.trierli from our Constitution, 114 established in law wad in practice; but if he could believe that a doubt existed in any rational man's mind on this subject, se that ii question could he raised upon it. he would beg them to look to the situation of other countries. fie would ask in what country, at this moment, could the Government be said to to secure. or the people satisfied with their Covertl y:trot ? In what country did the poison of French Re volution not rankle and disturb the public feeling? But he would say, that in all countries, the object of envy and admiration was the British Constitu tion ; the object of attainment was this Constitu tion, where the Government is maintained and re spected, and the rights and liberties of the people secured. Shill we then, he added, at this moment, surrender tamely, unresisted, these blessings ? No: we are assembled, in common with a great propor tion of the people of England, to express, and we said boldly express, our determination to maintain them. It is not easy to rouse the people of Eng land : they are accustomed to discuss sod examine the politieul measures of the Government ; such discussion corrects those measures and secures our liberties. Its the birthright of Englishmen, boldly and manfully to exercise this privilege ; and he was fat maintaining a free and liberal press fur this ob ject ; but when these privileges were abused, when, under the pretence of discussion, the most treasons- Isle and seditious doctrines were propagated, then the - good sense, the feeling, the character of Eng lishmen were pourtrayed : then they intanably stepped forwent to rescue the country. Such is the situation of England at this moment. The Lion is roused, and it will be 'hewn, not only in every part of the empire, but in every quarter of the world. that England, now and ever, will be true to kerself.—(Great applause.)—Mr. Fremantle, in conclusion, moved the Address, which he read. Should it appear to the meeting that any alteration was PeCeSgary, it would be desirable to appoint a Committee, of which he would willingly form one, in the trust that the most complete freedom would be exercised in its improvement. The meeting having expressed their warmest.aps probation of the Address, Mr. WOOD ruse to second the Address, to which he gave his oust hearty assent. At • time when they were suet to express. their attachment to their King, and to that Constitution which was the ad miration of the whole world, he would call to their recollection the words •of a celebrated national air. "Ride Brirarenia, w with the intention of ex pressing his conviction. that Brownout:mould cease to rule whenever the people of England failed to support their King. Mr. PowELL, after paying a tribute to the able and eloquent speech of the borer of the Address, stated mum he did not rise to object to that Ad dress; but it appeared to him ' , imperfectly hearing -- ~.. '‘""77 , :~: :Mt:t==a6 it, that it contained some expressions against the press, which he thought too general. Mr. CULLING C. SMITH rase for the single pnr• pose of setting right the gentleman who had last spoke, upon ■ point in which he conceived he was materially in error. He had only to refer to the generally character and conduct of the Mover of ri m e Address. for a very triumphant answer in the objection ohich had been just stated. They knew that gentleman was allied in politics sand they would allow him for one moment to introdorat the term in explanation), he was allied in politics with • number of distingnislied persona who are systematically. openly, consistently devoted to the maiiitenance of the liberties of their country. If there was one moan present who more than smother rallied those liberties, it was his flonnurable Friend. Of those hlseriiea, he. and all of them, knew that the great bnlwark was the liberty of the press. From that were derived almost all oor blessing-, and upon that we had to rely for their perpetuation. " Belt, Gentlemen." he conti nued. " however respectable may he many of those who are concerned in the Net of the press. may there not be many black sheep among them ? (I we thin expression as a firmer.) In every society we find individuals who by their conduct have for feited the regwvt which attaches to that particular society. That such had been the case with many coo. ductorsof the press we well know ; and we are called upon to instk their degradation of an honourable trust by unr severest censure." Mr. Smith. in coil clucon, said that he !toot cordially **beard to the whole of the Adarras. The oltiret of the meeting had been so sensibly stated be the Chairman—the Address had been st• eloquently proposed to them-- it was In Itself so discreet, that it was uonecrstary for tont to eitcotee the ateer.iity fir their him 1111 l oll‘ support of it. It was at this period the ditty of every holiest inan—it %:11 the ditty of every mall who wished to preserve to his family the integrity sod the honour of the character, to come farward and avow his onshrinking attachment to the Gruen and the Constitution.—(Great aPPlaffie.) Mr. POWELL deprecated any belief that he did not entertain the, greatest respect for the Hon. Nlover's public Hod private character. He acknoie 'edged that he was to error as to the terms of the Address. ..... The CHAIRMAN then called for a shew of hands in support of the Address. It was carnet( without a single 111%5'10. Mr. FREMANTLE proposed that the Address slwuld rtinain fur signature three dip at Eghams three days at Chertsey, and three days at Statute.

Mr. FRFNANTLE th'.n read a letter from Lord Bulkeley, apologising for his alyience through ill nriii4, and expreseing his perfect concurrence in the object of the The Thank* of the Meeting were voted to the Clriirmaii, and in Mr. Fremantle, who severally returned their ocknowl.dgmeitts. lii the 4.. wee of the day nearly ^_o o signatures were affixed to the Addresi. FARRINGDoN-WITHOUT MEETING. Saturday a numerous mei-tile , of the inhabitants of this Word was held at the Globe Tavern. is) Fleets street, for the purpose of considering of on Address of Congratulation to the Queen, and of • Fenno.) to the King to dismiss his Nliiii,ters. Mr. Alderman WA IT ism AN, on taking the chair, read the requisition. lir reques.ed a fiir hearing fur every person who should offer himself. and begged the speakers on hull) sides to renientber that violence was not strength. Mr. FEAROW. 111 presenting himself to the notice of the nieetitig, said lie need out apologize fur claiming their attention upon a subject which had been declared, by the cerise-real voice of the people of England, to be the most important that could occupy their deliberations, and which in interest swallowed up all others. In cmorquence of the indisposition of his father-in-law (Mr. Thompson), the task of submitting to them a string of results hum, with the addresses and petitions, had fallen 4 ppm) I (Mr. Fearosi). From some secret cause or other the inhabstauts of that Ward, who cons titillated orie-fifth of the populati of this great city, lehl, vii this occasion, contrary to the usual .piactice, been denied by their churchwardens the use of either St. A utlreves, St. Bride's, or St. Sepulchre's church, tin various pretexts. lle compliiiwd that they (the parishioners) who bud the tosyment of all the expenses, and bore all Ithe burdens attached tee these churches, should be denied the indulgence of meeting its them, seldom as it wise that they asked it. The Speaker proceeded to call the attention of the meeting to the very diffrrent situation they were now in from that en which they were when they before met on this questiois. tie remarked on the powerful effect a Inch petitioning mid the ge neral discussion of the subject had produced. At that pesind they were accused of being hasty en the ttortarstelion of their sentiments ; but now, when they had heard the evidence on both sides. they could come to a rational and fair decision. The speaker then took an able review of the pro.. feedings against the QuecA, and cotichtd.d by observing, that the religion of the country. sod the characterost ic panty of the female mind, had never been so eff.ctiially undermined us by the proceedings in (iestion.—(Heur.l—The charges against the Quests were out of the power of • tali I matt to efrtill, mole's they lwliesrd her to be a bring not humus. mid he could out beliese that even the prosecutors -ever expected them to be implicitly credited. although evidence had been sought by the most tremendous influence 111 the world to support them. The views of the Isrusecutors might be exemplified by ins old story of a tenant, who asked his landlord to give him timber enough to build a barn ?—" No !"—" Then," said the truant. " will yon let me hive enough to build a pig sty ?"---“ Nu."—" Then will you give use enough to build • pie ?"..." Wily you allay have that."... " Thar," said the tenant, " is as much as 1 want. end her m inor a j ei t tyr t s hell ' n wioby crargi it ng wai large i l l y b , thought to get some portion of their charges be lieved. The speaker nest commented on the con duct of her Majesty's judges, and said it should be asked whether they were theme's - es pure that oat in judgment over her. In his brief experience he had remarked. that individuals guilty of any specific vice, drunkenness. for in stance, were. in their cooler minnents, utmost the most severe and illiberal on those charged with the same sin. The Treasury prints had amused themselves by making reflections on the rook of the Queen's adherents. He would ask these scribblers. in what classes the greatest strength nod virtue of society existed ? If they answered honestly, they would say in the middle classes. The Courier told them that the Quern's adherents were only butchers and baker*, and men of " mean birth." It would not perhaps be proper to ask who were the parents of Mr. Canning, Mr. Sonthey. or any other of the Treasury seribes. The Speaker commented et con.ideraisle length on the loyal meeting« for ad dresses, and in particular on the meeting held in the Ward o.f Cheap. These were the men who once were uppermost, who were always foremost in the bigoted cry for persecution, and restraints on their fellow-citizens. It was they who set up the cry, twenty years ago, for the murderous war against the rising liberty of France, and of the world. It wits this S4flll, body who, on our occasion. when sit individual held up his hind in the Merchant Tay lors' Ilall against one of their Resolutions, dragged him tint, primped upon, nod treated I with a de gree of violence short only of murder. It was the same body who met the last year to advocate the blood-stain ed proceedings at Manchester. 'Chet' were the rem nant of the Church and King men, who burnt the bootie of the vest Dr. Priestley in Rirmisiglisin. and obliged him to fly for his life. A: that time they heard no complaints against the excesses of hired tool". These men were now so fallen as to be obliged to meet iii lurking holes and corners to hatch these intsistires, which would not bear the I.ght.— For these men he would quote a book, which, from the tenor of their live% he feared they little con sulted. It said, that " men who do right come to the light, because their deed. ate light; but he that doeth evil hateth the light. because bas deeds are evil." The speaker concluded by moving the Resolution fur an Address. Mr. KADLEY opposed the Resolution. He said it twos one thing to fail in proving a person guilty, and another to establish her innocence. He was of opinion thin, although the prosecutors had foiled in proving the guilt of the Queen, the defenders of the Queen had failed in establishing her inuncroce. If there had been contradictions in the evidence on one side, there had been cotitradicnons en the other. He was friendly to a change of Ministers, as they had misled the King. Here Mr. Alderman Waithmsn left the chair to join the City procession. He was succeeded by Mr. Savage. the senior Common Councilman. Mr. Doses asked how they cocld bring them selves to congratulate the Queen on her bring proved insiocetit, when the [louse of Lords had declared her guilty.—(Violent and continued dis approbation.) Mr. FEAROM said, the best answer to thi• guess lion was, that Lord Liverpool had abandoned the Bell.—( Loud applause.)—The Resolution, after some further desultory discussion, was carried, there being about eight ar ten hands only held up against it. An Address to the Queen was then read and agreed tie as was also a Petitiou to the King to dismiss his Ministers, alter Wllle opposition Isom hlr. Doses, who, persisting its speaking alter the Chairman had declared loin to be out of order. WWI finally dragged from the seat at which he stood, aid put out of the room. ADDRESS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL TO HIS MAJESTY. On Saturday the Lord Mayor proceeded from Guildhall at two o'clock, attended by the Recorder, Messrs. Alderman Wood and Wait litmus, Mr. Sheriff Williams, and about tie Members of the Common Council, to present thtifullowing Address to his Majesty. agreed to at the last Court.
