PRAYER OF A SEAMANo--•It is well known, that
captains and s:ti!ors are accustomed to hold religious
meetings on the 'leeks of dliFerent ships every night
in the week. On Thursday evening lust, on board
the Fide Capt. Payne, of South Shields, lying in
11;11-wharf tier, off authcrhithe, after the praises of
God had been sung, the elliciating sailor kneeled
down =hist a large assenthly, and with great solem-
nity, humility, and propriety, offered up extempora-
ncons river, in the course of which he said,-
6. 0 Lent! we hare 6.11c1d this day thh:e handmaid whom we
have never Wm bc:,ne I we ble,s thee that the is in health ; and
we ;my, If Ll:a is inne:Ent of the crimes laid to her charge, that
her innocence any be inly prov.ll. tl Lord I supp,,rt her under
her pres..nt beau tria!s; thvy she seek to Thee for grace and
str.cn.zth ; 11!::., Lord, grant t:.at her perAecution may soon end
and when she Iles tiat:e w hit all the e thihgs, anti sufnred thy
rig7uccm, will, U! nmy she enter into that rest which Thou hest
povided fur 1.1 l who heli2ve in the laced Jesus Chritt."
Such was the plain slvnitaneous language of a
rious sailor, who has nothing to do with political
r arty of any kind, and wh ) could not have the least
ilea of this affearing in print.

The harvest is nearly all finished throughout the
country. The prase is most abundant, and the
grain of the ba3t•tputlity, so the bread ought to be
excel eat and reduced Li price.
&ark, on the Li; :;;411 Coast.--S.everal Sharks,
about c eht feet in length, have recently made their
apt:urn:we on. the Essex coast, a circumstance not
reit-tem:axed by the oldest seamen. The crew of
the 14::1!!..'" .`.',tale, stationed off Bradwell to prevent
sru;;rl-Pag, shot at one one of them at the mouth Of
the liver Pluckwater, but without the desired effect,
tt which the shark &Tame so enraged, that the men
were artirachsive that it would overturn their boat.
They harpooned another, but did nut succeed in
hatt::l3. it in.
Vim—We cnneunee with re:4ret the death
of Mr. Rae, late of Drury-lane Theatre. He was u
man of very gentlemawlike ruttners, and. although
not in the very first class of actors, of txmcideruble
attainments awl high repute in his profession. Nir.
Itae was in the yes.r of his age. On Saturday
week he underwent a painial operation, which was
most skih.‘tlly and succes:,ffilly r. crfintmed by Mr.
Surgeon but from previous long snaring and
cons•Jiuent dallity he sunk under it, and expired
almost without a groan on Friday morning, at six
o'clock.

On Saturday Fennight u le,,acy of 100 guineas,
bequeathed Ly the late Mrs. Catherine Wilson, of
East ll,:reham, was paid into the hands of the Trea-
surer of the Not-tit:l; and Nurwirl► limpitul (lice of
duty) fia the benefit of that elntrity.

THE QUEEN'S PLATE.
-411-

A public meeting was held on Thursday, at the Crown
and Anchor, for the purpose of receiving the report or
the committee appointed to regulate the subscription for
presenting to her Majesty a service of plate.
The room was numerously filled with well-dressed
ladies and gentlemen by two o'clock, at which hour Sir
Cr Noel and the other gentlemen who formed the com-
mittee, entered it amid the acclamations of the company
assembled.
Sir G. Norm was in the chair.

Mr. C. Pt:ARSON read the report, which was of con-
siderahle length. It state(' that the framers of it had
assembled on the 23d of August last, at the Crown mid
Anchor Tavern, and had then passed several remphitions,
which it recited, for the purpose of opening a subscrip•
lion to procure for her Majesty a service of plate suited
to her rank as Queen of England, and to the generous
feelings which the people felt towards her; that they
had requested Mt. Ald. Wood to act as their treasurer,
and Mr. C. Pearson as their secretary, which those gen-
tlemen had undertaf en to do.

Mr. Mustruy proposed a number of Noblemen and
Gentlemen Trustees, for the purpose of this subscription,
and that the Committee be empowered to add to their
numbers.—Tlie motion was put and carried unani-
mously.
"Inanks were then moved and carried to Ald. Wood,
and also to Mr. C. PEAASOW, the Rev. R. Hayes, and
Dr. Gilchrist, for their exertions in behalf of Use object
of this mee►ing.

Nlr. PeAßsosr, in returning thanks, stated that part
of the Queen's plaie had been lent to Mr. Street, the
Editor of the Courier, and that front the tiine when it
had been so lent tip to the present moment con‘iant
attacks had been wade in that paper upon her .Nlajes;y's
conduct.

- - -
Sir G. NOEL, in expressing his gratitude for a rote of
thanks which had been passed to him, read a letter nom
Alderman IVood, in which the Altlealnati assated that
her Majesty was in want of pecuniary weans to conduct
her defence.

This occasioned considerable remark, and on ;he dis-
solution of the nieeliii4 it was iniderstood that another
would be speediy called to take that subject into con-
sideration.

ALDERSG.JTL ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN

Tuesday a Nleeting of the inhabitants of the Waid
of ztldersgate was held at the Dispensary in Aldersgate
Street, to consider the propriety of addressing her Ma-
jesty on ner return to England and on the procvedings
now taking place against her. The meeting was tit,
inerously and most respectable attended ; the gtea& room
was crowded.

. .

of the Ward, arrived and Ult/k the Cnair at one o'clock.
The litartisition been read,
Mr. C. COK.OULD addressed die Nletaina. Ile ex-
pressed how grateful he felt for the prompt and hand-
some manner in which the wroth). Alderman dad com-
plied with the desire of the requisitionists: it was ho-
nourable to himself; it was liberal towards the Ward.
It was most properly to ,king private feeiiii„ts aid 'tech-
culiar opinions give way ro public duty. lle then ad-
verted to the object for which they tvcre assembled, and
lamented at the character of the Governintait and the
tranquillity of the country should be pot at issue Ity such
calamitous proceedings as those which the Ministers had
been bold enoutali to adopt. The state of the pubic
mind was before dep:orable enough. 'There was grea.
irritation resulting from the conduct of the Nlitosters
and the state of our finances. Thus fresh calamity watt
not required to fill up the measures of general discon-
tent. It however had come upon them, and being thus
involved, it became thein to do thelr duty in this eying
hour of danger. The Queen was now the object or
prosecrtion, awl that proceeding was not conducted
according, to the known pi niciples and recognized usages
of the Constitution. Ile concluded with meting that
an Address be presented to her Majesty.
Mr. C. Co alio ULD was then loudly called on to read
the Address which be itropased should be adopted It)
the mei:hug; and with It quest lie act:ord./Hwy Coln-
The Address, as proposed, was then adopted.
Mr. Cott ROO LA) next stated, that hi knew the Ward
of A Idersgate so well, that he had prepared the Address,
which he produced.
(It was beautifully written on vellum. On the top
were drawn two serpents, with their tails eastwmeti ; they
were writhing, with the heads upwards. liotweeti those
heads was a dove, which they wittily attempted to %vomid
or disturb. It remained tranquil. In the centre of the
circle thus formed were the initial letters C K )
Mr. C. added, that he had further intelligence to
comminhcate to them, which he considered would be
most agreeable ; their worthy Alderman liked the pro-
ccediug so well, that he was determined to head them in
the procession.—(Loud applause.)—lie concluded with
moving that the thanks of the imaging be intern to the
Chairman.—Motion agreed to.
Mr. Alderman Cox returned his acknowledgments.—
Ile deemed it his duty to go up with the Address: as the
Officer of the Ward he comddered that lie ought to obey
their wishes. (Applause.)
Many then placed their signatures to the Address, mid
the Meeting was itifinined that timely notice would be
given when her Majesty would he pleased to fccerve the
Address. he meeting then separated.
