CROWN AND ANCHOR.

MEETIW; OF THE mi.:Hut-6m OF MIDDLESEX.
A numerous—Meeting of the i'reeholders of the
Count) of MltMlesex took place yesterday at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, in pur-
suance of an advertisement, calling on them to meet
there, for the purpose of devising, the best means of
defraying the expences of the late Elation, on the
part of Sir Francis Burdett.
The company preseat, at one o'clock, unanimous-
ly called
P. MOOR t•., Fag M. P. to the Chair

Silence being requested and obtained, the Chair-
man addressed the meeting nearly as follows :
" Gentlemen—l trust that those who are :AC-
quainteJ with my private coodua. and public cha-
rasier, w II readily believe me when I assure them,
that at all times, and on all occasions, when my
fellow-citizens call on me to Ell so honourable a
station as that to which lam this day appointed, I
biAll always be read,. to accept the offer, and to
as.rt in discharge of the duties of the office to the
utmost of my ability and power. I could really
h.,,ve wished that some other person had been
called to the Chair, for, I own to you, I feel my
breast so loaded, when I reflect on the atrocious
proceedings which so lately took place at brew-
ford, that it is with difficulty I can deliver my
sentiments on the subject ; proceedivgs, which
Strike at the very essence and vitals of the Consti-
tution, and which not only received the s.anStion,
bet were supported and carried forward by th.!
most itrenuous and alive exertions of the whole .if
the Magistracy of the county, aided and assi,tesl
by the public oili:ers of every department under
the Government, whose conduct ought to have
been very different.
a I bog leave, Gentlemen, to amnia particul;:rly
the attention of the Meeting to all advertisement
which has, since the Eleaion, been publ'shed by
Mr. Mainwaring; an address not issued in the mo-
ment of the heat of controversy. ever incident to
contested elenions; but drawn up in the hour of
cool refled;on, in the private recess of the closet, or
the cabinet. The passage, to which I wish parti-
cularly to allude, is this: _ _

Repugnant as it is to my feelings to appear
niutaphant over a vanquished adversary,. I cannot
refrain from congratulating on, Gentlemen, on the
vianty, which you have enabled me to obtain over
a faction as desperate AS it is enterprising ; a faction
which hesitates at nothing to gain its ends, and
which is no less inimical to the people, whom it
sitters, than to the throne, which it seeks to subvert.
I am proud in b sing the instrument, in your hands,
of rescuing this Cuunty from the grasp of such a
faction.'

Gentlemen. having read to you this part
of the Address, permit me now to draw a contrast
bet*e n the principles of Mr. Mainwaring's party,
and those of that which we support. We are here
accused of wishing and seeking to subvert the
Throne ; but I need only appeal to the whole of the
proceedings and conduct of our adversaries, and I
think th ae will mint forcibly evince to every im-
partial observer, that it is they who want " to sub-
vert the Throne ;" because they have uniformly and
incessantly endeavoured to destroy the liberties of
the people, which, in this fieva country, form the
very strongest basis of the Throne and of the Mo-
narchy. We, on the contrary, 'hew that our most
anxious wish and desire is to support the Throne,
by our continual exertions, to guard and preserve
the liberties of the people, which are its best and
strongest foundation. We wish to cement and eta.
bhsh the Monarchy, by the freedom of the people,
whilst they endeavour to shake and weaken it by de-
grading the people into slaves. If you look to the
foe proceedings of Mr. Mainwaring and his party,
during the Eledion, you will find that the Church,
whica ought, according to the rules of the Cospel, to
be silent in party contests and disputes; or, if they in-
terfered at all, it shauld be for the purpose of breath-
ing and supporting a spirit of peace, has, on the cia-
trary, been most alive in its exertions against the
rights of the people, and the freedom oleic:lion. the
Magistracy have also interfered in a most open and
shameful manner. Those men who meet together,
and gi am licences to each other in their different dis-
trids ; those men who, from the nature of their ap-
pointment, ought to be the preservers of the peace,
and the impartial distributers of justice to every indi.
vidual in the county, Live joined the church, and
urenuoasly used their united exertions to deprive a
majority of the Freeholders of their dearest and
most invaluable privilege, the right of eledion ; and
of the pride and satisfaction of being represented by
the man of their free and unbiassed choice. They
have, oy their condo , degraded the institution of
ntarstrAcy ; and, the digaity of the charade: in
this ccuuty is every where but where it ought to
be found.

Gentlemen, the F.leffion for Middlesex is of
the highest im2ortance, because the rights of the
freeLoldess tat that county have more than once
been invades', and the atrocious attempt made to
slettrny their right of eleaion altogether. Standing
as it does, the Gra county in the kingdom, com-
pr:sing the metropolis itself, to which the whole
r..,t1.,it ever looks up with deference, it is doubly
mc.imbent on us to stand forward at the presea
'amen* to assert our rights with an inflexible and
deter"%med spirit--and, .11 so doing, we shall sup-
port the I'bts of the i.cople in every part of the
coatury. !or, Gentlemen, the right of cicalas is
the very essence of the constitution ; and if it be
stabbed in Middlesex, it is wounded in every the
most distant mad remote part of the country. It is
therefore so light or trivial cancan which now calls
us to-ether.
ith respeB to ou: late Candidate, I have only
one ritu:stion to ask, I las he done :.is duty ? I saf,
he has ; that he has dune his duty nobly. and ought
how to be put out cf the 6.4.1. What is the nett
duty to be performed 2 That of the Freehold. n.
Gentlemen, Sir F. Burdett has set a most glorious
example. Ido not for my own pan know of any
man us the ADLOIII{ of our history who has exceeded
him. I can never doubt for a moment, that the
c‘urty will warmly and zealously follow such an
example ; and I am swathe whole kingdom should
cost. if they with prosperity to the Monarchy, for I
think I may fairly say, that every man, who really
.dafers from me in this particular poiut, is as enemy
to the Constitution. What is asked for on the pre,
sett oceans/la is no more than a eortelson call in
defence of that most invaluable etivaiget the right

_..l_

of eletion: I hope and trust it will not be confined
co the meeting here, but that every one will use his
utmost endeavours to impress the importance of the
measure on the minds of all their acquaintance, so as
to induce subscriptions from every part of the coun-
try. The stilled now to be considered is founded
in honour, dignity, patriotism, philanthropy, and
every principle and sentiment which does credit to
the heart of man ; and I have no doubt but the pre-
,ent meeting will receive it with that warmth of zeal
which the importance of the objea so justly merits.
Having thus, Gentlemen, explained the cause of
calling the present meeting, I shall now sit down,
in order that the necessary means may be adopted
for carrying it into immediate eff,.a."
Mr. Boss,' 1.1. E then said, he had in hi: hand some
resolutions which had been drawn up by himself
and others, and which he wished to submit to the
consideration of the Meeting. He begged leave
to read them over, and they would afterwards be
read from the Chair one by one, and gentlemen
would have an opportunity of expressing their ap-
probation or disapprobation of each, as it was suc-
cessively read. He then read the first resolution ;
after which,

Mr. lixstri.tv rose and said, it w.ts not his in-
tention, or by any means his wish, to oppose any of
the resolutions drawn up by the Hon. Gentleman
who had just read one ; but he had no doubt that
many persons who were then pr -sent, had Valle
prepared with something of a similar nature; and,
in ordor to prevent confusion, he wished to propose
that those who had any resolutions to offer on the
stalk& should then h ing them forward, and that
they should all be read over befute any discussion
took place on any one of them.
Mr. Bosvut.Lt. said, that if the Hon. Gentleman
would suffer the resolutions to be read through, he
had no doubt but they would be found suc:l as
would be pet fatly agreeable and consonant to the
sentiments of the "hole company. He then read
the other resolution,.

Mr. BENTLE.Ii mpressed h s entire approbatiort of
the reseiutions, but thoughs there was one point
which they did nut clen:ie.., and on which he had
drawn up a resohe In, whist) he would take the li-
berty to submit to the consideration of the meeting,
after these resolutions had been read from the chair.
Before he sat down, he would, however, beg per-
mission to make one or two short observations,
which had occurred to him on the occasion. He
considered the cause they were now met to con-
template, as not belonging to the Freeholdres of
Middlesex only, but that it was in fad the cause of
the whole cou lay. He himself was not a freeholder
of this county, hot he tilt he ILO as strong a mo-
tive, and as fair a title, to attend the meeting;
as he could assure them he was a friend to
the general liberties of the people of this cow.-
try. 'I his was ow attempt to violate the right of
eieffi-n, and was therefore a deadly blow aimed
at the vitals of the constitution. The con-
stitution consisted of three branches. Every one
who was at all acquainted with its formation. knew,
that the two first branches do not emanate from the
people. They are fixed and heredit sty in the So-
veign and the Peers of the Realm ; hut the third is
constituted solely by the choice Of the People, whose
representatives they are. It became, therefore, ne-
cessary that this representation sittrild be preserved
as pure as possible, as in that was cootained the
whole of the people's aftnal stake and share in the
formation of the Constitution. The representatives
Oldie people were sent to Parliament through the
medium otßeturein: Officers, the greatest part of
whom were appointed by tl;e Crown, and the re-
mainder by the Heir Apparent. 71.eie could not,
therefore, be kept too stria a guar,' over the conduct
of these returning officers ; (Cr if their power was al-
lowed lobe tmcontretiled, cr„if sufficient checks were
not placed over toes.: reunning oflisers may use it
in such a manner, as to make the right of eleetion, the
most valuable of all out privileges, a mere nullity.
The case that was thee before thh Meeting, was an
obstruction of the pull, and it was *Whale significa-
tion, whether that proceeded from any afls of vio-
lence, or whether it was owing to the fraud, chicane,
or intrigue of the returning officer. The evil pro-
duced by it was equally the same. A case had
been very recently decided, that was exaaly in point
on this head. The Nottingham elreion had been
set aside, on the espre.sgrouad of " the poll having
be n interrupted." would not take up the time
of the Meeting, by going into the subjed of that
eletton, but would conclude by sincerely hoping,
that the cau,e will be warms', zealously, and libe-
rally supported by every man, who is a friend to the
liberties end constitution of this country.
Phis speech, as well as that of the Chairman, was
received with repeated marks of applause.
lie CMAIRII if then said, he would read the re-
solutirats one by tale, as moved and seconded by his
Hon. Fnends near him. He then read the first reso-
lution. Ike whsle ft laid, see the fed page.)
Dr. Pate moved au amendment, that After the
word “ surplus." the following words be added,
be terspealully offered." As the resolution was
originally worded, it was, " th it the surplus be ap-
plied in discharging the expences o; the late Lleflion
for the County of Middlesex."
The Cam nu Aif said, the reason for moving the
anseuelmeat was, all knew the truly liberal mind of
Sir Francis Birdase ; and this meetitii;, he was sure,
would be very sorry he sii..uld have the shadow of
an idea that they meant to hive him the slightest
offence.

The amendment was then agreed to ; and after-
wards the resolution as amended, was put and
agreed to unanimously.
The ether resolutions were then severally read
from the chair, and aveed to unanimously.
Mr. Zvi:ll4v said, he had award with great is.
tisfaaion the unanimity %salt which the reso.utions
bad been agreed to; but he thought there was one
point of which no mention bad been made. He
had dr Ma ur a resolution, which he begged leave
to read, and which wrs partly to :he puree: t of the
others; but had a ieference in it in tnakiag 4:r F.
Burict an hono sty member of the C‘insipeore.
The CH Ale MAP said, that klirraf lideladri En COW
bider Sit Ira :,is Burdett as comelesely eel 01 toe
business; and that the County ou .1 ahine to
interfere.

Mr. fitnts.tv waived ress:n 113 resolution any
further. . - -

Mr.: I Aim Tow'twia goid, it hid •ren truly :aid
that :ices was not the cuss* vi 11.1:J.:Itkez Alva., but
wf t:Ae 'wls Istnipaosa. He pafeCtly agreed with

this 2nd it was a Material consideration fur the
whole country, whether we should be represented
by the mere return of the Sheriff, or by the lair and
free eleCtion of the Freeholders. This was a most
daring attack, he said, on the rights of the eleettns.
The Minkter wants to debase the minds of the peo-
ple, and it was their grand objea to secure their
rights and privileges ; fur, while they possessed those,
they could neither be debased, nor degraded. lie
therefore had to submit to the meeting a proposition,
that committees should be formed in every county
and town in the kingdom; and if his propositionshould
meet the approbation of the present company and lie
adopted, he had no doubt subscriptions would flow
in from every quarter. He would not then detain the
meeting further, but hoped some gentleman would
assist him to draw up his res shition.
The CHAIRMAN proposed Mr. W. SMITH (Mem-
ber for Norwich) ; and,
4 Dr. PARK proposed Mr. George Wingfield Spar-
low should be added to the Committee ; which was
unanimously agreed to, and both their names were
added accordingly.
The CHAIRMAN said, the Treasurers were now
present, and books were opened in different parts of
the house to receive subscriptions.
Major CARTWRIGHT said, that as .the combina-
tion against them was so powerful and extensive, he
would recommend it to the Friends of Freedom to
form themselves into a County Club, to watch over
the freedom of Election, aid should, as soon as the
business wrs finished, bring forward his proposition
on the subjea.
Mr. 11. •rowasErin hoped his friend, Major C.
would not blend that with t!., present business.
Major CA RTMRIGH I , C/f1 this objeCtion, agreed to
waive his proposition at present, but not to give np
the club:

Mr. &slat t.st moved the thanks of the mec!;ng
to the Chairtnao, for his eAndid and liberal condua
m the chair.
The CNA I itivAm returned his s:n:ere thanks, and
assured the meeting, ha had never filled the chair
on any occasion with so much heartfelt joy and
satisfaction.

The meting then broke up about two o'clock.
'kicks were aaer wards pro,luced at each end cf
the room, and many persons immediately subscrib-
ed. There are to be parochial committees tor the
purpose uf tecciving soincriptions its every quarter.

DEFENCE OF 'I•I4E CuUNTRY.

MatTlllo AT Tilt TISATCKED HOUR.

Yesterday, at one o'clock, pursuant to adver-
tisement, a meeting of N'rni•ity Lnd Gentry was
held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's.
street, for the purpose td affurdi•.g prompt assist-
ance to Government, by sufsscribing carts, wag-
gons, horses, carrix{es, and other useful conveyat.ce
for troops, in the event of adual invasion. A car-
riage of a new construdion, admirably adapted fur
the conveyance of the military, was bent's ht from
the Repository, in Frith-dreet, Soho, for inspedion.
The persons present were Earl Camden, Lord
Hawke bury, Lord Hood, the Commissary Gene•
ral, Sir Brook Watson, Mr. Wilbelorce, Goleral
Maitland, Mr. Sturges Bourne, And several respect-
, able carriage proprietr.rs, in all about 1 S.
Lord Harr tc rums v, having taken the Chair, made
a few ohservations, upon the steady zeal recently
manifested for the defence of the country at the
different respedable meetings of Farmers, Waggon
Masters, and others concerned in Horses and Car-
riages,whose subscriptions could not fail ,to be of the
utmost service oa the appearance of invasion ; and,
as such an event might not be at any considerable
distance, it was proper to reduce to order the vo-
luntary offers of assistance, so that immediate re-
course might be had to such carriages as had been
subscribed for the public service, %t hen it should be
fourd necessary to employ them. His Lords:rip
suggested, if such arrangements were made, the
c infusion resulting from the steps Government must
unavoidably take, in case of invasion, would be
avoided.

The subscription book was then spread, and such
persons as were desirous of atfordiag assistance were
requested to sign their names.
Several gentlemen wished to be informed at what
distance from the metropolis, subscribed carriages
would be supposed in readiness, as many gentle-
men who subscribed might have them net of town
at the moment they would be requited. The Com-
missary General proposed to arrange that consider-
ation by an advertisement limiting the subscrptioos
malt in London to a certain number of ni les
round, or a painted board to be placed on each car-
riage, describing where it was subscribed.
A discussion er.sued between Lord Hawkesbury,
Mr. V% ilberforce, &c. reveling the facility of fur-
nishing Government with carriages after the bod.es
had been taken nffs and the machine of which
had been previously inspefted. It was demanded
if carts would be consid:red as necessary assistance ?
and Sir Brook Watson stated that the body of prr-
sons called Fellowship Carmen had recently offer-
ed ,;()0 horses and 420 carts, whisk had been con-
sidered highly useful ; that carts, horses, ecc. were
ser vice:Ace.

Mr. Si is mob os, of MArlbrnough-street, said he
had a letter, stating, that before Christmas last, he
had designed to offer his carr.age And lior,es to Go-
vernment ; he accordingly *rate the letter in ques-
tion to the Secretary of ilitAte's office, hut had not
received any answer. He then inserted his name, as
did Lord Hood, and several others, for liberal sub-
scriptions ; after which it was resolved to leave the
roll open At the house for such as were willing tu
subscribe carriages, horses, SCe.
The meeting men adjouined at 3 o'clock.

On Mouday, about six o'clock in the afternoon, a
most alarming riot took place amongst the labourrrs
at Poplar. Who were principally Irishmen. The
dispute originated in which was the best prk,vince„
and produced the bv.t men, Connaught or Mun.
@ter. From words they proceeded to blows ; and
there being several hundreds of them armed with
b. •leans. it became a measure of safety to call in
t:.e cs.;l p.wer, wbo took two of the principal riot-
urs into sixdody, and die rest dispersed. When
brotight beton the itsgistrate, they e.pressed much
contrition for the reitor they had been led into, and
made promises of future good conduct t ; upon which
the Magistrate. after giving theta some proper atil
=anion, dischargeJ them.

Proprietors of Drury lane Theatre, applied

It was contended by Mr. RICHA:
part of the Petitioners, that they had a right

1793, it Appeared, that the whole of the prupeity of
the theatre and the profits woe vested in Trustees,
with a reservation to Mr. Sheridan of fifteen
Boxes, and the emoluments arising therefrom.--i
The deed further stated, that, in case of a deficiency;
upon giving a month's notice, the trustees should
have power to give up the Theatre to the Proprie.
tors, t.ir, might aEtually enter upon and possess
the And become the managers • thereof.
Since that iirne, Mr. Sheridan, ereaed 15 other
boxes for his own purpose, some of which were
conveyed by deed to Mr. Adam, in the yeas I got he
trust, to pay the arrears due to the performer..
'lwo suiti were instituted in the Court of Chancery,.
and several orders were made; but Neck-Wady one,
on which the application was chiefly grounded. His
Lordship, in tht order alluded tn, direfled that, in the
first instance, the ground landlord, the Duke of lied.
lord, should be paid. thee the arrears due to the
performers, to tradesmen, &c. out of the trust
fund, arising ore of the receipts of the house.
Several other matters were contained in this order.
It was contended that Mr. Sheridan had no right
to die disposition of those boxes ; that in as much its
the deed of me had been etecuted without the
assent of the trustees in the deed of 1793, none of
whom had been parties thereto, he had no right to
do so. It was said, on the part of Me. Sheridan,
that iT he had not made the deed to Mr. Adam,
the performers, tradesmen, &e. %you'd not have beets
paid Tire Learnod Counsel,. employed by Mr.
Sheridan for the Performers, therefore, contended.
that the Trustees could not be deprived of their
rights, under the deed of 1793, by the subseveht
one of Dee. Mr. Fosbrook was appointed by
Mr. Sheridan to be the housekeeper of the
Theatre, through whom, all the receipts of the
private boxes go; it therefore came to the poilt,
whether the Trustees are to have the profits
of tnose Boxes ; and if they are to be applica:ile to
the purposes of the general funds of the Theatre ?
Lawn CHASICt Los The question before inc
is, as tq the appropriation of the profits of the private
boxes, according to the meaning of the order. nee
present °hied is a fair distriliat:en of the profits
amongst trio's* several persons interested. It canner
ur wrong to San according to the intent and
meaning of that order, the profits ale so applied ;
how rhea is this matter to be remedied?"
The ATI ustilrY GENERAL, on the p trt of hl-.
Sheridan, come ided. that the order did not include
those twelve boxes in question the meaning of the
Deed. the'Order, and the whole of the -meter, m-re-
ly went to the nightly receipts of the Theatre, wkat
was usually called the door-money ; the 4 receipts
only were to be appropriited to the purposes of the
Deed, the Ordeif, &c. %%hen the phrase .Vu'l./I
Kveiptt was made use of, it was not m ant to al.
rude to the rent of the private boxes. With referent
to the Deed of 1793, it would be found, that there
was a surplus hiterest to Mr. Sheridan in thew:
Boxes. At a meeting of the Renters of Drury.
Lane Theatre, lee ointunns were entered into, dezier-
ing their entire sri.faitiun at the Dead of 1/40:?..
l'he Learned Counsel, upon there grounds therefore
submitted, that his Lordship had abund int m atter
to decide, that there Box.e were exclusive of the
Trust Fund, and that the Trustees had so right to
the profit arising therefrom.
Mr. roN t. s,,qui, &e: appeared for other pante,.
The LAUD Ceiescat.son took a view oldie whole
case, sheen from the first proceedings. He obsere.
ed, that after Lord Thurluw had taken the Opera
(louse, and the Royal Circus in hands,' he did not
see how he could well refuse to take Drury-L..ne
under his management ; but, unless in future torn*
means were taken to simplify the business, it would
he quite impossible for Courts of Equity to inter.
fen.. In this case, the security sr..' looked into with
great care, by the Trastees, the one in the grave
charaeler of a Justice, the other in that of a Bank.
er, and the parties went on without any great Pulse
tiun to the original deed, till t.vo *tarts in equity
were commenced An order was therefore made,
that the nightly receipts should be appr 'whited to
the I rust fond, and the other further provided for
the growing charges, and all others, for die benefit
of all parties. e. I am free,' said his Lordship,
" to say that I must throw this matter back into
the original state in which I foui.d it, unless
these parties do make some cor.ceskions to each
other, and agree upon some amicabie arrangeotelt
which may in future prevent so much inegularlty.."
His Lordship then dismissed the Petition.
