Notice,
That the QUARTERLY GENERAL COURT of the
said COVPANY appointed to be held at their House in
Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 22d instant, at
Eleven o'Clock in the Forenoon, is FURTHER MADE
SPECIAL, for the purpose of taking into consideration an
unanimous Resolution of the Court of Directors of the ltd
December last (which was to have been brought under con-
sideration on the 11th of January last, but was postponed
in consequence of the late hour at which the previous busi-
ness before the Court on that day was disposed of), re.
commending the Court of Proprietors to authorise the

111i4Illesex, which Mr. Crewe would consider a favour per-
sonally conferred on himself. Mr. Crewe will be nbliged to
Mr. fur a list of the votes he will be able to bring for-
ward on the present occasion."
" Pall-mall, March 17, 11340.
The electors would see that it would not be
right in him to name the Gentleman to whom the
letter was addressed, he was • person who had large
contracts from Government, and the Government
thought they had nothing to do but to commend
his vote. lie was, however, a man of an inde-
pendent spirit, and the letter had but one effect on
his mini, and that was to send him down there to
vote for him.—(applause.)—He hoped they would
on as they begmi ; they put bun forward in a
conspicuous situation, but he would pledge himself
not to forsake them as long as they remained true
to thenvolves.—(Great applause.)
Mr. Met.t.tssi said, that when accusations were
brought against • candidate, it was unfair not to hear
him. If they would allow him he would answer
every one of those accusations.—(Much disapproba-
tion here manifested itself, upon which he said it
was unfair and illiberal not to hear him.)
Mr. Wit ITBREA D came forward-6, Gentlemen,"
said he, "recollect the favour I have asked of you;
recollect the favour you conferred op me on Satur.
day; believe me you will best serve the cause yogi
have at heart by letting Mr. Mellish take every
latitude he thinks fit in the course of his speech."...
(applause.)
Mr. MELLISH said, he hoped they would hear
him • few minutes more than they had done on
Saturday ; when he touched on any thing parti-
cular, they would not hear him. Mr. Whitbread
had openly and manfully declared that he was
sorry that plumper, should have been given for
him, because if shared with Mr. Byng, they might
tutu him (Mr. M.) out ; he did not complaim of
this, but he thought lie had some cause to com-
plain of Mr. Byng. As for the letter. he could
assure them that lie knew nothing at all about it.
Mr. Whitbread had said, that he (Mr. M.) did not
explain his principles ou Saturday last; but *lively
they knew his principles already.—(" Indeed we
do; we know too mach of thens.")—The majority
of Mr. Whitbread did not so much astonish him.
The treatment his friends had met with at the last
election, had deterred them from appearing to poll
fur 'inn ut this; but the conduct of the Sheritir, so
honourable to themselves, gave them the assurance
that his friends would not be molested—they would
appear amongst them, and place him in a situation
which *wild fill the majority of them with sorrow.
(hisses.)
After Mr. Mellish concluded, the electors left
the hustings in the utmost order and good temper.
When our Reporter left Brentford, Mr. Whitbread
was mooing in triumph through the streets, seated
in a landau, drawn by the people ; he was preceded
by a band of music, surrounded by a number of
gentlemea, and followed by an immense crowd.

Brougham's friends were attending to his speech, the Low.

Brougham's friends were in possession of the hustings by
eight o'clock. On Friday, Lord Lowther and Mr. Beckett
led their troops into the field at six, and un Saturday the
voters of Mr. IL, were to have assembled at four, but the
Lowthers were stirring at two, and by three the streets were
thronged by bosh parties contending for the earliest pos-
session of the hustiugs, although the polling was not to com-
mence till aisle. Au unusual interest seems to have been
excited through the country. Along the roads, servants of
the neighbouring Noblemen and Gentlemen were waiting to
collect the intelligence, and whenever the gentleman stopped
to change horses, his carriage was surrounded by anxious
inquirers.

THIRD DA Y--(Coscumsp.)

THE KING V. HUNT AND OTHERS.

Jonathan Andrew. examined by Mr. Scaniere.—l reside
at Endbam Hall, near Manchester; I was head-constable i■
Mauchester in August last; I have some property there; I
was on the ground about n o'clock on the 16th of August ;
it was arranged that a line of constables should exteud from
the house where the Magistrates were to the hustings, or ■s
near as possible to them; when I went to the ground there
was a line of constables formed from Mr. Buxton's house
to the hustings, which were then erected; shortly after the
hustings were removed several yards backwards; I took no.
tice of the different partici as they arrived ; they marched
in regular military order, as I have seen soldiers march;
about every fourth or fifth man appeared to hare some coo.
mend over the rest; they were five or six abreast; a great
number had sticks, and massy carried them as a soldier ear-
ries his musket, that is erect upon the left shoulder; I saw
a great number on the emend with sticks, but they did
not tarry them in that form; 1 saw many Hugo and cape
of liberty ; when each division arrived there was tre-
meudous shorting by those who were on and round the
busting.; there was also waving of sticks in the air;
I was hear enough to the hustings to recognise Jones, whom
I know, but I slid not bear what he said. I was upon the
ground when Mr. Hoot arrived in a carriage. There was
then an immense crowd of people assembled, and the crowd
which accompanied bite was also immense. I have before
seen as many people assembled together as I on that day
saw. I think there were between 60,000 and 70,000 persona
present, they consisted mostly of labouriug people; there
were very few respectable persons present. I conceived so
large a meeting could bare no other tendency Hutu to over-
swe the respectable inhabitants of the town and its authori-
ties. The people appeared to have come (ruin a distance.
It was a very dusty day; I thick it was a warm day.
Cross-examined by Mr. Bennow.—Junes was one of the
first on the busting.. Ido not know that be was employed
as a mechanic to erect the beatings. I ennui tell whether
be was directing the crowd nut to press too close or not.
Cross-eximaiued by Mr. Hunt. —I think it was the division
that bad a banner with " Equal Representation or Death,"
upon it, that marched with their sticks shouldered. It was
a black flag; I saw them on the Frosted; the sticks were
very large and thick. The people who encoded the meeting
appeared to me have come generally with shirks. I said
thought the meeting amounted to 60,000 or 70,000 persons.
The sticks 'sew were not seek as I generally see people use
in walking—they were larger; I cutout say whether they

STATE OF IRELAND.

There was nn absurd statement which originated
in some of the Dublin pritita—and which was copied,
milli notes of admiration and horror, by our London
contemporatirs, relative to an attempt on the lives
of the Earl of Rowse and Lord Oxmanton. We did
not think it expedient to contradict this foolish pa-
ragraph, in Cite first instance—but it is now neces-
sary to observe that it we ere authorised to state
that the account which hat appeared in some of the
newspapers of • conspiracy having been formed
against the Earl of Rosse and Lord Oimantou is
unfou tided."

The Assizes now in progress in the West, are
beginning to produce the consequences which ■re
anticipated. Though the disturbances have not
altogether subsided, yet the last accounts received
induce us to hope that the measures, legal and
ordinary measures, ae are rejoiced to say, will
be found, in the course of a few weeks, to restore
the Western Counties to obedience. Sligo and
Leitrim ere contented. The examples made in
Roscommon Lave already been felt to work a salu-
tary change. Galway, in all probability, will pre-
sent the heaviest calendar; but there can be no
doubt that the execution of the law will be suffi-
cient to crush for a while, the spirit which has
spread so general an alarm, and which has caused
so many outrages.
Thus, it will be found, that the anticipations of
these who, like ourselves, contended that the law
of the laud would be found sufficient to encounter
and to subdue the evil, will be realized.

ERS OF THE COUNTY OF. MIDDLESEX.

TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREEHOLD-

GENTLEMEN,
• StIOULD be unworthy of the honourable
• station in which you kindly placed me during four suc-
cessive Parliaments, if I hesitated distinctly to avow the
principles on which I once more presume to solicit your in-
dependent suffrages. I yield to no man in firm attachment
to Civil and Religions Liberty, blended as it immutably is
with our admirable Constitution ; and I declare myself, in
,the truest sense of the words, the Friend of the People, for
the rause of the people can never be separated from the
cause of their King and country.
Acting un these principles in the conscientious discharge
of my public duty, I beim, to the utmost .1 my power, re-
sisted the progress of sedition and blasphemy. I have sup-
ported those measures which subsequent events prove to
have been indispensably necessary for the preservation of the
Constitution; and in the anxious promotion of all real and
practical improvement in our Laws and Constitution, I have
nuifurnily opposed all vague, visionary, and dangerous pro.
jects of reform.

It has been my constant endeavour, duriog the last four-
teen years that I have been your Representative, faithfully,
zealously, and diligently to promote your real interests, by
devoting my personal attention to the arduous and impor-
tant duties of this metropolitan County.
I therefore eonlitleully trust, that by your votes and inte-
rest you will sanctum my parliamentary conduct, and that
your early attenclauce at the pull will replace me in the dis-
tinguished situation to which it is the highest object of my
ambition to aspire. In this anxious hops I have the honour
to be, with the greatest respect,
Your obedient and faithful Se►vant,

LONDON,
THURSDAY, DFCRSIDER 7, isio.

A meeting of the inhabitants of %Vestmiu•ter was
held yesterday, when an Address of Congratulation
to the QUEEN was agreed to. An Address to the
KING in favour of Parliamentary Reform, and for
the dismissal of Ministers, was also adopted. A
report of the busines, of the day is given iu our pre-
ceding columns. The QIIIiEN'S cause has hitherto
'toed upon its own merits : it may not, perhaps,
be served by mixing it with other matter. The
purity and sincerity of public opinion expressed in
her MAJESTY'S favour should rensiiu without alloy.
?co pretence should be allowed for charging her
advocates will, ►he influence of any motives but the
justice of her cause, the sense of her wrongs, and
their confidence in her innocence. •

We believe that there is no word in our language
which has of late years borne more various and
sometimes coottaditioty significations thin the
word loyalty. As questions of a political nature
successively arise to interest the public mind, this
unfortunate word is sure to be drie.;geol into itnute-
diate use, and compelled to beceiae the arbitrary
representative of whatever notion the Ministers and
their agents may think proper to affix upon it.
Hence it not unfrequently happeus that the new
sigoitication of ate word differs esseotially from its
original meaning ; but sto time is allowed to admire
the absurdity of the applications fur it quickly gives
place to wine more novel fancy. which in its turn is
succeeded by another of still greater extravagance.
Such rapid changes in the signitioution of a word
of so much importance, would probably occasion
much embarrassment iu the public mind, were we
not provided with as infallible means of elm:Waling
every difficulty arising from it ; for who can err
from the true path of loyalty while lie firmly be-
lieves iu the virtue and wisdom of the Ministers,
presumes not to question the motives of their
actions. or oppose the esereise of their discretion
This is the secret of modern loyalty—if exercised
with due finds it suffuses the mind with a delightful
insensibility, sheds a veil over esery fault of the
Nliiii•ters and their agents, or elevates it into the
semi/Wore of virtue; while it overwlwlstis with
sedition, hlsripliemy. and every vire. politicsl slid
moral, 'those who are so hardy as to entertain semis
omits displeasing to the depositories of power.
We noticed yesterday the wondrous discovery of
the cunning mail to Ihe Courier, who found out
that nine-tenths of the people weie not hostile .4 to

OLD BAILEY.

These Sessions commenced yesterday before .Ir.
Justice BATI.SY, Mr. Baron GAaßow. the LuRT;
MAYOR, &c. . .......

Samuel Jones, William Dunn, and Williams
Grady, were capitally indicted foie burglarionsly
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Lucy
Watkins, widow, and stealing therein • watch
value 41. and 2/. Bs. in money, her property.
This case excited considerable interest in conse-
quence or the Prisoners being part of the gang of
thieves who were rescued from the custody of
Marsden, th,e Marlborough-street gaoler. The fol-
lowing facts were proved in evidence :
Mrs. Watkins is an irged woman, keeping a gro-
cer's shop in Shepherd'it market, May-fair; about
seven o'cloekiiVthe evioA of the 21st November
the prisoner TOrirs calliti at the shop and desired
her to send elbs. of green tea to the house of Dr.
Hear" in Curzon-street. She said it must be a
mistake, as she did not serve Dr. Hearns ; but he
assured her it was quite right, and desired she
yould rend the tea iinmed:ately. Still, however,
conceiving it to be a mistake, she sent her porter to
-the house to inquire. He hail been gone only a few
minutes when the shop-door (which was fastened only
with a latch) was again opened, and five young
men entered. Mrs. IVatkitis and her sun, a boy
of fifteen, were then the only persons in the shop.
Three of them walked straight into the parlour,
and one took a watch from the mantle-piece, while
those who remained in the shop took out the till,
mid emptied it of its contents, consisting of 2/. Bs.
iu silver and copper. Mrs. Watkins made an
alarm as soon as her fright would permit her, and
the robbers left the house. A gentleman's ser-
vant, who was in the kitchen, ran out in paricit
of them, and the prisoner Jones was secured as he
was running away, calling Stop thief !" as loud
as he could bawl. Tne other two Prisoners, and a
fail named Merrily (who %VIII rescued, and is still at
large), were afterwards taken, loitering in the
neighbourhood. Dunn. Juries, and Maury, were
immediately recognized by Mrs. Watkins and her
son; but they could not speak positively to Crady,
although they believed him to be the man.
Mr. Baron GARROW, in iris charge to the Jury,
explained, at great length, the law of tire case, ea-
pre•stng It us his decided opinion ;and lie and tint
think it would be qiiestiotied) that the charge
against the Prisoners amounted to the crime of bur-
glary.
The Jury found a verdict of Guilty, Death,
against Jones mud Dann. and acquitted Grady.
The Learned JUDGE then observed, that he had
been veal., particular in pointing out the law of this
case, because he wished it to he known to the nu-
merous gangs who were now carrying nu this species
Lf plunder, that if they entered the house of an

SUBSTANTIAL REJOICING.

The Alfred gives the following account of the
celebration of the defeat of the Bill against the

" The morning of the CIO was ushered in with
the ringing of the bells, prolonged through the day ;
