countenancing those particular &chimes Okla they
profess to abhor, now begin to feel ashamed of ap-
pearing to act as the partisans of the present Cabinet.
Whenever they do appear in public meetings, they
disclaim with an earnestness highly suspicious, and
in some instances extremely ludicrous, that they
do not hind themselves to support any particular
let of Ministers--that they do not mean to applaud
the conduct of the present depositaries of power—
that they desire especially not to be understood to
refer in any degree to the character of the recent
proceedings against the Queas..-aud, fineilly, that
all they desire is to assure his MAJeSTY thst they
are very loyal and very religious. Now, if there be
one word of truth► in these allegations, we defy them
or the advocates for such addresses to point out the
most distant necessity for transmitting such vague
declarations to the foot of the throne. We can
assure these gentlemen who seem to content them-
selves with such negative addresses, that if the
Ministers of the Crown did not suppose that they
might confidently reckon upon all who sign such
addresses as their devoted adherente, either iu Par-
liameut or in the event of a general election, or by
exerting their influence in any other manner to
maintain the said Ministers in place, the addresses
would be treated at the Home Office with about as
much ceremony and respect as is usually bestowed
upon those expressions of unbiassed public feeling
that call upon the KING to remove front his coun-
sels the men who have sought to degrade the dig-
nity of his throne, and have actually reduced his
people to a state of extreme distress.
A very curious specimen of fins negative kind of
addressing has emanated, as was seen by our Pa-
per of yesterday, from the 60 frernolders of the
county of Itenfrew, who thought it necessary to
assure the KING of their loyalty. We find fro•s
Mr. Mutt's speech that his Address further un-
dertook to inform the KING, very unitecesserily, as
it should seem, that his MAJESTY held his crown
in trust fur the people and then went so t• recom-
mend retrenchment in the expenditure, and men-
mires of economy in all departments of State!
Now if there be two words in the whole vocabulary
of the English language more unmusical than
others to the ears of Ministers, the words are eco-
nomy and retrenchment. It is the rude use of these
too magic words by the people in their " ignorant
impatience of taxation," that has conjured up the
hideous phantoms of sedition and blasphemy to
" fright the isle from her propriety," but which
alone, in the opinion of Ministers, are equal to the
task of dissipating the horrors of such words.
With what feeling then will the Address of the sixty
freeholders of Renfrew he received at Lord SID..
1101JTII'S Office ? With what contortions of visage
will it be reed (if it be ever read) by his Lordship
and his worthy colleagues ! A Common Hall of
the Livery of London, or a Westminster meeting,
could not utter words of more hideous import.
The sixty Renfrew freeholders deserve well of
their country, for in praying the KING to enforce
the principles of economy and retrenchment in
every department of the State, they ally express
the seuttinents of mienl millions of their fellow-
subjects, who have yet been branded with charges
of treason and sedition, for venturing without the
prefix of • loyal address to entreat his MAJESTY'S
attention to the very same points.

A meeting of the inhabitants of the united pa-
rishes of St. Andrew, flolborn above Bars, aad St.
George the Martyr, Nliddletex, to congratulate the
Qualm, sod address his Ms.rksry to dismiss his
Ministers, was announced for yesterday, at the
Workhouse, in Gray's lam-line. Before

man in the Chair, • motion of adjournment
and carried ; the meeting dispersed, the
house gates were closed, and a beadle was
outside to inform any persons that Luigi
that the meeting was over. The conduk
Camberwell partisans was calculated to mai
principals odious: the conduct of their
labourers of Bt. Andrew's and St. George'.
culated to make them contemptible. The
force of the former is not totally devoid of
to respect, as displaying candour and energy
this paltry stratagem betrays a posillaniniii
littleness of mind which cover its autl•
shame and derision. Ministers may rest
that such miserable artifices, instead of
their adversaries recoil upon themselves.

THE LOST PUDDING—A CHRISTMAS TALK
A necsST. !ACT.

A pleasant fa.ily "'Bakal,
Some friends bad got on Christunas.day,
Both old mad young, why not
Who round the table sat with glee,
To spend the day right merrily
On beef and podding hot.
The foootlers of the feast sat thew,
And well they filled their two.arat chair,
At buttons and at top.
The beef, all said 'twas wund'rous sue,
Eva Gods oa a such a dish might

Aud padding from the pot.
Yuang lips did to each other say,
Well taste some pudJing rich to-day,
And broody, too, 1 wet;
When out, alas! oh dire mishap,
The cook appears with fallen chap,
Nu pudding have I got !
No pudding! all at once did cry,
No padding! with an inward sigh,
.

Their efforts could sot slop
No ',sadism Belly!—hew is this?
Pudding on Christmas-day to MOON
You surely have forgot.
Lord.ltir ! as I's of worms■ hied,
The pudding so where eats I Mid,
_ . . .

Tho' 1 left it in the pot;
Bst sloes to tithe it out I west.
Pet in the fork with that intent,

No pudding there I got.
In vain they search both fu and near,
But no .here can they find the cheer

That's vanished from the put;
Chins grew as fast as hops in Kent,
♦s to and rev in haste they went,

_ .
But they no padding got.
Baas padding that day all did go,
Not best content I well do know,

It is not yet forgot ;
But mark the sequel nowt I pray.
Now pudding was bewitched away
_ _

From that same pudding pot.
The said, when off the Ere she took
The erell.boikd padding, in a nook

Had placed the padding pot,
Where h above the jack•weilbt hung.,
Which, as the junk weal rotund, did come

Down oo the puthliog top.
B.neath the weight there was a hook,
That of the cloth a fast ►old took,

11'b4.-t• dwelt the pudding lot;
The jack wooed op, up went the waigliti,
And up the paddler followed straight,
Till it bad reached the top.
So pudding from the pot au guar
Ere you could say Jack Slablasea,

And left the empty pot;
The next day the jack went spin,
When down the pudding came salmis,
And in their view did pop.
