We• the rather do. because. this Nobleman seems to speak from conviction, rind, not from the spirit •of Party ;- for we. - repot.. lect that though he did no:, on the former oc casion, support the Address, yet he did •trot vote for the Amendmenr.. - Such conduct manifests Independent caedour, and not detettnined hosti lity to Ministers. • • -- LlVE7raftrip to as fojfiitvs==« s l do norrise for The purpose of offering iniVintfair OPPOSition to the Bill now before the House, bet to make a few observations; and I must repeat the expressions of jealousy that I feel towards any Bill emanating from the . Noble Secretary for the flome Department. The Noble Lord said, in the first evening of de bate, that he considered that any person " who advocated the Cause of the people," which meant, differed front hint, added weight to that cause, and gave encouragement to their turbulence. I have every respect for the private chaise- er of the Noble Lord, who is so generally esteemed, but I have not the same opinion of his political wisdom, and I have voted for Ingoiry, and shall again be ready to vote for it before I give my sanction to any measure ptoceedieg, from the Noble Se cretat y. Ne person can lament more than I do the dreadttil march of blasphemy and sedition ;. no person can wish more than I do to see those, who assault our Religion, and traduce the Prince and the Judges of the Land, punished with the severity which their crimes deserve ; but natil it is satisfactorily explained to the House what con stitutes a libel, I cannot admit the entire pro- Enjoy of this Bill. The Noble Lord here made out a case, which seemed to hr favourably re ceived. We have been told this night, that these . Bills are framed on the papers before - the House ; •' scanty papets,•' I will call them, not convinc , lug me of the necessity of violeut alarm, but of the " necessity of inquiry." I. I saw a dispo sition on the part of the Alieisteis to endea vour to assuage the evils resulting from partial distress, distress which has been felt in all; and still is telt in some countries ; if I saw any measure attempted to soothe the irritated feelings of the people, then I should not object to strength ening the bends of Government by additional but not permanent poWelS. Nly anxious wish is to see the Prince enthroned, as lie well deserves to he, in the hearts of his subjects, and I wish to see the Ministers resort to such measures as are best calculates! to produce-so desirable an effect. Mea sures founded in coercion may be necessary to protect the peaceable and loyal from the turbulent and refractory, but measures rounded it, kindness are equally neceasaty for the preservation of our glorious Constittitioo in Church and State," *** Though in justice to the Noble Lord, as well as to excuse our former. omission, we have thus thought proper to sate his sentiments, we totally differ with him in supposing that any Bill merely " emanates hoot the Noble Secretary for the Home Department," as all Bills must neces• sarily be supposed to issue from the collective wisdom of Ministers ; yet if any measure were to issue from that Noble Lord only, we should be persuaded that it would be the rest,lt of good sense, sound practical knowledge and experience, and a sincere regard for the welfare and security of the Empire. Neither do we agree with the Noble Earl in deeming the documents before the House " scanty Papers," as they certainly afford abundant proof of the desperate designs of the Radicals. •who bad obviously in view nothing short of a total subversion of the present Government. Many persons are induced to defer their pnr. chases in the Lottery until the last moment, pro bably from the numerous instances that have oc curred of the Capitals having been sold on the eve of the Drawing, particularly those Capitals that have been slier( d - by WEBB. Thv Proprietor of a well-known Coffee-house in the Strand, pur chased a Half-Ticket at WEBB's Office, on a Sa. tin day morning, which was drawn the same day a Prize of 30,0001. and for which he received the Money on MONDAY Morning. ;%-lny such oc currences have taken place r. 7, WEBB'S ; and of the last 20.000/. Mize he ,red in tlre present Lottery, Two Shares were at Cornhill, and Thtee at Ludgate•street, only a few hours before it was drawn. For these tensors itHa's Oak, s will remain open until Eleven o'clock this 164' r, as the Two first Prizes To-morrow Morning each receive 20,0001. in Consols and Money, and they are probably yet on sale at No. 9, Cotubill, and 17, Ludgate-street There cannot be a stronger inducement toAdven turers in the (Amoy to make their purchases at any particular Office, than a continued course of success in the sale of the large Capitals. That such success has in►ariahly attended the Offices of G.-CARROLL is sufficiently notorious, for amongst the Capitals lately sold by him, at his fortunate Offices, No. 19, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford -street, may be enumerated Tree of 30.0001., five of 20,0001., the last of 20,000 Guineas, and the last Prize cirri- drawn of 20,0001. sterling.— rO-MOll.- ROW, at Eleven o'clo/k, Two of the Stx Prizes of 20,0001. which the Scheme contains MUST be drawn in the First Five Minutes ; and, judging. from his past success, the peals are not very great agaitiSt their being BOTH SOLD BY cARgOLL. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1819. FOR THE SUN'. SEDITIOUS .NIEET/NGS BILL. • M R . ED/Toil—l - should* 'twit have presumed to. encroach upon your colnoins with the opinions of so obscure an individual as myself upon this itn portant measure, had it not °centred to me that there arc one or two arguments which have hi them, been lost sight of by the supporters of the Bill, in answer to - the alleged abridgment of the right of petitioning, which will result from diVid ing public Meetings into Districts, in cases where all the Constituted Authorities have rebised to bauction them on,.alarger scale : an abridgment, which has been characterized by some Alembeis of the, OiiivismiotkJitt,Vo) o o-Tifilig: 4 - 0 almost a annihilation of that auci,git Right, acknowle'ged, as it is on all hands, to be one of the most valu able inherent in a Brilish Subject ; but not only does it appear to my humble j.dgment, that the cesirietive measures now in contemplation will operate 45 whatever Of this privi kge, but that it unit in no small degiee to qiiitrge and Inainin intiolare, according to its true sense and spirit, the iiherty o! the subject in. this respect ; for if the Itight'inean any thing at all, it must surely imniy. that ev'ery person in he Realm, let his opinions be what they may, shall have an equal opportunity with his neigh bour of expressing those opinions, and I contend that he trill be more in a situation to do so under the Act as n 0,4 proposed, than he is at present. I need not travel beyond t limits of this city for au illustr.ition of what I advance, though the same arguments would apply to any other portion of the kingdom, hut wiil content myseif with ad verting to the public 'Meetings whit:h are occasion. ally held here. It will hardly be denied, that time are some few inhabitants of Wes: tni :4 ter, who are opposed to the - doctrines of Radical lik•form—that there are some again, wlto do not agree in idol izing the Worthy Baronet as '' Westminster's Pride, and England's Hope,”---and Ora ! there are even stone who en the heinous and uncoil sritlotilswal length of sometimes I hi.,king that Mini sters may he in the ; yet I appeal to the Worthy Baronet himselt (than whom there does not exist a more .strenuous Advocate for the en ii,ghteated discostiotts that take place at those Nhetings, and the perfect purity that prevails there), to say, wher her such persons are not alto gether deterred from attending on those occasions, partly by the certainty that they would not he allowed to speak their sentiments, and partly by a fear of personal viole'nce. That even the latter ap prehension is not a groundless one, will be suffi ciently manifest from a bare recurrence to the scenes exhibited, at - the two last Elections, parti cularly to the unmanly and brutal attacks that were repeatedly made upon Sir MURRAY Max- WELL, and never shall I forget, that one Honour able Gentleman, who had been his opponent on that occasion, on the day 'following that gross as sault which disabled the gallant Officer from ap. pearing again in the field, declared to the assem bled crowd his opinion, that not only were their Liberties infringed upon by the appearance of the Military, but that the numerous Constables who were kept in attendance round the Hustings, were wholly unnecessary; at a moment when the Civil Power was unable to protect an indi vidual, whose political tenets 'were obnoxious to tise mob, from open and inhuman violence ; this - was the sentiment avowed by one of those, who would now persuade us, that Meetings of a precisely similar character to those at a General Election—Meetings where no one dare oppose a single sentence of the Resolutions previously got up by the pi incipal performers on the stage, and where no one professedly hostile to such Resolu tions are even spew his face, are the only ones at which a fair dischssion of grievances, and proper representation of them to the Higher Powers, can take place. So far from this b.ting really tire case, many persons of respectability and weight, who are precluded in the manner I have pointed out from attending large and tumul tuous Assemblies, will not feel the same repug nance to appearing at their own District or Pa rochial Meetings, and thus will a much more gonuine report of the public feelings at large be likely to reach the ears of Parliament and the Crown, than can ever be derived from a source, where that fundamental principle of ail law and justice, " Audi aberam part em," is discarded by the multitude, and while liberty is in their mouths, thegroSsest tyranny is , reiguing in their hearts. But here it .is(to :use . a vulgar expression) that -the shoe pinches—hetelt is that the secret fears tifthe Rtulical Reformers begin to unfold them : they /6Oveit will he no longer in their i,ower to carry, amid clamour and cOnfitsion, pro vositions which their listening admirers do : not give theniiielves the time or trouble to understand, but than persons of ni: patties will . now be able to speedt out their honest sentiments, and in many instances furnish a wholesome antidote to the poison which has hitherto corrupted the sources of truth, In Westminster, for 'instance, they may be apprehensive that those three Parisheswosll broughtt! plici act old ma iwtiily . ,94.sl4;iie*ttaips:t4-ke Worthy- Baronet at his last Election, may be dined to put a very different face upon passing events, from the garbled and ex parte statements ‘ehich issue from what is falsely called a General Meeting of the Electors, and may thus materially detract from the force of counter,representations in ()ti ler quarters. But it is also made a strong objection to the 1111 now before Parlianteut„that numerous Peti tions from small bodies of people are less calcu lated 10 have ,veight with the Legislature, than a smaller number of Petitions from larger bodies. That they will have a less imposing effect at first sight, may perhaps be readily admitted ; but I can never be, brought to believe, that where any twenty housand persons have a wish to petition, ten separate Remonstrances, each with two thou sand signatures, all representing the same facts, and an praying for some mode of Redress, would not have much more influence upon the calm de liberations of Parliament, than one Petition bear ing twenty thousand nantes : a display of strength, which cannot be entirely free front - an appearance of intimidation, and that suspicion alone may in e the Legislature, with a view to is own dig nity and independence, to resist it. These, Sir, are the grounds upon which I con scientiously believe that the new measure will neither trench upon the Right, nor lessen the effect of Petitioning ; anti that it may soon be come the Law of the Land, is the sincere wish of, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, AN ELECTOR OF WESTMINSTER.

This was an action to recover damages lor an injury done to a miniature portrait of the late Dr. WoLcor, generally known by the name of Peter Pindar, which had been executed by the plaintiff, and tent to Sir Richard Phillips.
