of Chancery Bill to recive a clause, providing against
any Member in the Chancery of Ireland being
elected into, or sitting, or voting in the House of
Commons, as long as he shall hold such office." In
the debate on this clause the case of Master Ellis,
one of the present candidates for the City of Dublin,
was discussed at length. His friends made an effort
to have him excepted from the operation of the
clause in the event of being returned, but the in-

their sentiments on the degrading treatment which
she has received from his Majesty's ministers.—
There were nearly three thousand persons present.
—Soon after 12 o'clock the Lord Mayor ascended
the hustings. lie proceeded to read the requisition,
signed by 589 respectable gentlemen, in compliance
with which he had convened the meeting. His

wishes, because it would be arrogance in him to put
his judgment in competion with the 589 gentlemen,
who were of a contrary opinion. He then read u
letter from NI. Wyvill, Esq. the representative for
York, expressive of his approbation of the object
of the meeting, and lameatiag his inability to attend.
—S. W. Nichol, Esq. then addressed the assembly,
and after indulging in a variety of pertinent and
fiircible observations, respecting the treatment of
the Queen, proposed an addresss to her Nlajesty, and
