A. FENWICE, E•q. spoke nearly as follows:

_ . .
Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen, it now becomes my
ditty to submit -to your clintitleration en address to
his Majesty, in consequence of the measure* adopts
ed by Ins confidential Servants against the Queen!
hive no hesitation in saying, that I consider such
proceedings unjust, and conirary to the fundamen-
tal principle* of the British Coiistituitort. I hold
it to be a clear maxim. in English jurisprudence,
that the accuser shell unt sit in judgment on the
accused.—(4pplemse.)—lt is au established rule
in the Courts of Justice, that no person who
was on the Grand Jury shell sit on the Jury
that has to try• the case; ■nd I consider the Coin-
antler of the House of Lords, who had the con-
tents of the green bag before then), as the Grand
Jury in the case oldie Queen.—(Lund applamse.)—
If an individual lies expressml an "opinion against
the accused, the law of England &clues that lie
shall nut sit on the Jury. This very principle has
been recognised by the Joegcs in the case of Mepir
Cartwright and others. tits Msjciity's Ministers
have allowed the Queen wee amenable for no breech
of law—she was guilty of ho offence cognisable• by
the Court* of Justice. Finding this, they have
bad recourse to that aliamefut and uncenstiirtioeal
gnawers, an ez part /acts law, alias, a Bill a Prins
and Peoaltim. I will say, in the words of Dr. Pa.
ley. l consider it • a aseasnie which am only be
sanctioned by the danger of the Corasumwealth:
1 will sot affirm that there may not be mom is which
its nee is not improper, bot, l Pill declare 1 think if ih

it once. odl ofitee within, that it is of toe disg'ie.•
ing a Rehire to be repeated. His Majesty's Nli-
nisters themselves acknowledged that the intoirr
was derogatory 'hoist the di gm'', of the Crown, 4• d
injurious to the best interests of the prople—bcr
such is their cupidity of power, that. regardless Lf
every other consideration, they continued it eVe:i f.)
the dishonour of their Sovereign. I shall trespass no
longer on your attention, but move Ciat the Aci•ess
to Ins Majesty, which! hold i:: my baud, be adopted
by this meeting."
The Address was then read and carried u: aci•
rnously._

Mr: Wit. WALTON then rose, and 'poke ,teary
as follows :--" Mr. Chairman, Gentleme:h !t

Magnanimous Queeu, I will 'vinare to make ne.e
or two brief remarks. I would then (assert...,
‘entlemeii, that it is next to impossible fur
any unprejudiced and reflecting lanai to take
prospective or retrospective view of the ills-
graceful and petiuful proceedings of dm last fist
months, without the mingled feelings of hum:-

Possessing, as 1 do, these sentiments. I consider

their united efforts through the medium of their
Addresses, have again had a most salutary effect,
and sure I sin, that wheat exercised firmly, bi the
same constitutional way, they will impose in the en
tin tasuperable barrier against the encroachineet*
of intolerance, and ultimately insure that Re-
form which every honest tiiiiid so devoutly
In antler to draw to a conclusion, I will offer one
remark more, which probably may appease u
iiugular to some, but the correctness of the aeon-
ment. I um persuaded, will be admitted by all,
and that is—that the beet improvement every mar-
ried mu in the United Kingdom can make of the
unhappy difference and separation of the royal
couple. is to embody more closely in his own practice
that grand moral ossixito—i husbands, love your
wives. and he not severe and bitter against them, as
too mail in the world are, who become domestic
tyrants. and quarrel with their wives on every trifling
occasion—thus overbeariug those whom they should
rather guard and comfort, breaking their tender
spirits, iud, perhaps, shortening their days.'—
Gentlemen, 1 shall trespass no longer upon your
time, but beg to propose that the Address I now
hold ill my band be read, and adopted as the Ad-
dress of this meeting to the Queer:fa Moat Excellent
Majesty."
l'he Address was read, seconded by Mr. Lather-
ingtoo. and carried unanimously.
The Chairman then inquired if any difference of
opinion existed in the meeting. and perceiving no-
thing but unanimity, lie requested to know If the
Address and Resolutions stow read should be adopt-
ed, and they were carried by acclamation.
The thauka of the meeting were then voted to
J. Nevham. Esq. fur lass impartial couduct iu die
Chair; and the ineetiog dispersed.
