BOROUGH ME.EriNG.

Yesterday at one o'clock, agreeably to advertise-
ment, and in consequenCe of a requ,isition signed by
a number 'of the inhabitants of the Borough 'of
Southwark, a Meeting 9f 'the inhabitants of that
Town and Boiough took place at the Town Hall,'
oti the following subje6l,; namely, " To consider,
of the best mode of expressing_ their Gratitude, and
Thanks to:the Yeomanry and Volunteers for the
:Services they have rendered to their Country,'; and to
'request they continue those Services so long
as His Majesty May, thin)( it expedient and neces-
sary."
J. TOWNSBEND, Esq. the Doputy High Bailiff;
Laying taken the Chair in the absence- of Sir Watkin
Lewes— •

Mr. GREEN, one of the Gentlemen whb had-
signed 'the requisition, addressed the Meeting as to
the objeft by which he and others had been in-
fluenced in calling it. After expatiating on the me-
rits of the Volunteers, on the.sicrifices both of time
and -of money to which they -had submitted to
make themselves useful 'to the Country, he declared
that neither he nor any.of those who had signed the
requisition along with him were a&uated by party
motives; that in proposing Thanks to-the Volun-
teers they had no wish to counteract, or even to al-
lUde to the vote of the House of commons on that
head,.. but to thank them merely as their friends and
neighbours. He then moved a sfring of Resolutions,
thanking the Voltinteers for their services, and beg-
ging a continuance of them so long as His Majesty
might require them. '
Mr. YOUNG, another Gentleman who signed the
requisition, having seconded the first Resolution,
Mr: SHIPLEY, while he agreed,in every corn-_
pliment which had been paid the. Volunteers,
could iibt regard thiS as any thing but a- poli-
tical question. Would it 'be said, that in thus •
interfering in the afthirs of State, they did not
enter the field of politics ?. He was convinced they
did ; ,and he could not help thinking any inter-
ference'on the present occasion as an impediment
thrown in-the way of the present Ministers, in the
execution of their military best
'that bad been spa.}, to this eountry'for the last
twenty years. ?..4 cry qf N 6, No)--There might,
he clad not deny. it, be a,difference of opivion'on this
point; but still, he would venture to say, expeli-
ence would shew the plan to be good; and this mo-
tion seemed to go the length of impeding the trial
of its efficacy.
,The motion, too, he submitted, was
extremely ill-timed, while we
,were under comniu-
Mugs with our, Enemies, when nothing but unani-.
Laity should appear, and a resolinion, even to a
single man, to accept nothing but an honourable'
Peace, or again to throw aside the scabbard. He
concluded by moving the previous questiori..
• Mr. 'YOUNG maintained, that it was only the
Gentleman who spoke last who seemed unmindful

of unanimtv, in again reminding us of taxes, pecu-
lation, acid other grievances.
• Lientenanta;Colonel ALOOCK, wih all. the respeEt
.he had for the Volunteers, :among
,whom he had
the honour of a commnd, could not help looking .at
the present proposition Nk/tli a considerable degree
of suspicion. If it was merely, as friend's and neigh-
bours, why did not the Gentlemen confine their,
thanks to .the Corps belonging to their oven neigh
bourhoOd ? or:why did they not rather' propose to
open t‘heir purses, by which means alone they could..
etfe6tually.secure ;the Continuance of a great part of
the Volunteers ? On the other hand, was it not a
fact
_that there were atnong.the'.names affixed to the
present'requisition, those-of Gentlemen, who, when
Balled on, had refused their subscriptions ?
Mr. o=2, as being alludesi. to in this last obser-vation, was proceeding to chew that Col. Alcpck
himself had thrown cold, water on the ContributiOns
of -the Gentlernen of the Borough, Wheit he was-
called to order.

•
Mn CLARKE explainedrthreasdns which induced
him to siati' the requisition, which he thought might
have entitled him-to, thanks, not to reprobation.
Mr. GREEN replied. When the qUestion was call-
ed for,
- The DEPUTY HIGH BAILIFF declared himself
unable, on the shew 'of bands, to decide. .how the-
majority lay. The parties then took different sides
of the Hall, when, there being more than 3 to I for
the previous question, the supporters of the Motion
objeaed that there were some among the majority
who were not Eledors. It was answered that the'
present -was not a Meeting of Ele&ors only, but of.
-inhabitants. The Deputy High Bailiff said, there
could be no question that the Resolutions Were ne-'
gatived.
The Thanks of this Meeting were then voted to
the Deputy High. Bailiff.-7--Adjourned.

VOLUNTEERS.—ST. GILES AND Sr. GEO,RGE;
BLoomssuay.—The Anniversary of this Corps' Ac-
ceptance by His Majesty falling this year on Sun-
day next, it was celebrated on Monday -last by the
Members, in a manner at once creditable to them-
selves and to the Institution, At half past
.six in the
morning the Corps met 300 strong in their drill
ground at the British Museum,, where their'excel-
lentColonel, Sir JOHN NicHoLL,'explained to them
the new military,regulations- which the Legislature
has lately adopted by the Training Bill, and the
consequent arrangements lie had made to suit the
convenience of the Corps, and' 'Ave the fullest etre&
to that assistance which the Volunteer
.System -is ca-
pable of affording to the Military strength of the
Country.—Provided With haversacks and .canteens
for necessary refreshment, the Corps marched to
-the .Heath at Brixton Causeway, taking their route
across Westininster.Bridge,; and by their strength
and military appearance, 'after three years service,
excited no small `admiration. Upon their .arrival at
Brixton Heath, the-second se6tion Of rash company
was marched forward, and the Colonel hiMself as-
sumed-the command of them, took up a strong po-
sition behind a raised. causeway with trees, and
prepared to annoy his antagonist by' throwing out a
few open files under shelter of an old building'to the
lefr, and of a small eminence to the right. Lieut.
Col. SUTHERLAND; With the main body, began' the
attack with great order„advancing his skirmishers to
drive in those of his comparatively small, though
fortnidable foe, and to, harass him irvflank, whilst, ,
after a few vollies, he advance:' to the charge. The
Enetny, upon this;commenced an excellent retreat
under the fire of his .skinnishers, .and again.
strongly secured himself in 'the mouth of a road
leading .from" the: Heath, to
.Dulwich. Retiring
again, he was supposed to have
men
quite oft and
Lieut. Colonel SUTHERLAND'S men continued their
route, no longer dreading their Enemy; when,
upon turning a corner of the roads he was found
most forinidably drawn up in 'aline, and at the same
momenta party which lay in aMbush began a heavy •
and well-directed fire from the adjoining trees and
hedges.; surprised, but not Confounded, by this
new desperate Stratagem, Lieut. Col. SUTHERLAND
immediately availed himself:of the great width of
the road,, and deployed into line. His skirmishers
advanced to cut off the party in ambush, and after a
volley he fell upon the Enemy With, a, British•charoe,
who having thrown his I,tfhole strength into this last
effort could no longer fly, but, yielded to superior
force. The vi6tors
,and prisoners'then marched to
Montpeliei Gardens, where an excellent dinner re-
freshed theni after the labours of the day, which
even a heavy rain in only a slight degree checked.
Colonel Sir Jottx NicnoLc,,in giving the several
patriotic toasts which followed, introduced each ivlth
such ennobling sentiments, or such happy sallies of
humour and gaiety, that they were drank With en,
thusiasm. When Lieut. Col. SUTHEALANIS -gave
the 'health of their Colonel, the love and, respect
which every member of-the Corps bears
.him could
Clot for a moment be restrained, but resounded in
long and repeated acclamations.—Soon atter seven
the drum again beat to arms, and the Corps re-
turned to town, after- a day which animated the
attachment Of the members to each other, their
love to their Colonel, and devotion to their King
and Country, and was unsullied by one
,disgraceful
action.

LEWES WOOL 17A1a.-7-On Saturday a numerous
asSemblage of growers of wool and wo ,l-staplers
Mee at White Hart; at Lewes, where Amore than
one hundred sat down to dinner about three o'clock.
LORI- SIIEFFIELD, was in the Chair,Nbesides- who.n
were present the Earl Of CIIIcHESTER; Sir THOMAS
CARR, -Mr. CHIFFNER, Mr. CHIPS,' Mr. BpYCH.;
Mr. KEMI', &c. &c. After dinner Lord SHEFFIELD
opeued,the.busineSs of the day. His Lordship stated
that a considerable importation. of a coarse kind of
Spanish Wool bad taken place, and also an
importation of not less than one million pounds of fine
'Merino Wool_ from Saxbny„-a proof that the "producr
tion of this valuable article Was not peculiar to Spain.
After observing- that these,, circumstances had con-
tributed to give rise to an expectation that' the last
year's•pri•ces of EritiShwool.coold not now be Made,
he expressed his opinion that no reason really exist-
ed.for 'such an expeEtation, and concluded by re-
conimending a
.Deputation of the-principal Wool-
growers to' retire and,arrancfe the prices which they
were willing to take per, tod lb.) After some
observations from Messrs. DYER, CURLING, MOLD-
ING,..ana other wool-staplers, complaining of the
los:ies-sustained by last year's prices, i he' Earl of
CHICHESTER. and, about' twenty of the
.principal
Wool-growers retired. They returned in a kevi mi-
nutes, whenthe Noble Earl stated that the prices
named Were to be Considered aS offers for that day
only to the Wool-staplers --who bought last year,.
which, if not closed 'with haute the meeting broke
Up; .th'e'parties. Would feel themselves at. literty to
ask, greater' priceS, or treat with other buyers. The
prices named were 'as follows, (the difference. was
understOod to bear' a fair proportion to the fineness
of the
.wool)—Mr. Jowl, ELMA ;4, a Ltd' three others,
68s. per tod ; Mr. Cam's, p.nd 'another, 6tis. ;• the
Earl of CHICHESTER, al“.1 fonr-otherS, 645. ; Mr.
SCARCE, 635.;
_and Mr.•KENlT,,.and.another. 605.;
the average 645. and one-fifth. After- Some littler
heSitation on the part of the wool-staplers, the buy-
ing began, and most of the principal growers con-
traded for the sale of their wool, at the prices
named, and others in proportion, according to the
fineness of their wool. The healths.of Lord SHEV-
EIELD and .the-Earl of CmcfritStsa,-. and several
loyal and appropriate toasts. were drank, and the
company departed Much Satisfied with the result of
the meeting.

An Itiquisition was on Saturday night taken at the
King's Arms, in Kent-street, 'in the Borough, an a
woman of the name of Linney, and who lodged at
No. 7, Thomas's-street. Her landlady having missed
her for a considerable time spread an alartil‘'among
,the neighbours last-Thursday; several of whom as-
sembled and forced the door of her apartment open,
and found her on the bed with a knife laying. by the
side of her all over blood, and her throat cut in a
-Froth shocking manner. -Fro the state she was hi
when disccivered, it was conceived that she had com-
mitted the rash a& some Considerable time. She.
was a middle-aged woman; much addicted- to Srink-
