COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE ANb CONGRATU-
LATION TO HIS MAJESTY.
A Court of Common Council was this morning held layi
direction of the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of moving art
address to his Majesty on the subject of the Entente,' death;
of our late gracious Sovereign. The words in the sum-
monses were,' " For the purpose of expressitte their sense
of the melancholy event of the demise of his late Msjesty!
George the Fourth." i
The Court, which was very fully attended by m'n,bers,E
and crowded before the bar, met at eleven o'clock, and
proceeded at once to the subject.
The Loan MAYOR opened the business.—After which,
Mr. (hamster addressed the Ccurt. I shall take the'
liberty of alluding, in very brief terms, to the chief pointsi
which I contemplate proposing in the address to be moved i
for the adoption of the Court. Those points merely ad- P
vert to condolence with his Majesty on the demise of the;
late King, and congratulation on his own accession toj
the Throne of these realms. It is now 19 years since his
late Majesty commenced his public life—a period, at the
commencement of which the whole peninsula was agitated
with war. We all remember the glorious
termination
e
which was put to that war under the auspices of the late C'
and we till know the honour which the brilliant ca-
reer of the British arms reflected upon him. When the
successful issue was put to the contest, we remember the
honour which his late Majesty conferred upon the citizens
of London, by visiting them in that Hall, accotnpanied by
the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, who, at
the time, were among the illustrious guests of the country.
The delight with which he was received, and the loyal
manifestations which were made by those whom he ho-
noured, drew from him, on that occasion, the
'strongest expressions of esteem and affection towards
the citizens of London.—(Loud and continued cheering.)
We remember with what grace and dignity he received the
congratulations of those by whom he was surrounded, and
how proud the feeling was with which his condescension.
was regarded. Soon after that occasion it will be recol-
lected war broke out again npon the escape of Buonaparte
front Elba, and the battle of Waterloo followed and
crowned the distinguished successes of the British arms.
For the last fifteen years tranquillity had reigned in this
country, and no one ever entertained a more just sense of
the value of peace, or had a more lively regard for the en-
couragement of the Arts, and the improvement of the
metropolis, than our late lamented King.—(Loud cries of
hear, hear.)—l shall now advert to the other point con-
templated in the Address—the congratulation of this'
Court to his present Majesty upon his accession to the
Throne.— (Cries of hear, bear.)—ln petforming this
grateful part of my task, I speak of anillustrious person
who has long distinguished himself in the naval service di
the country, and has assiduously protected that important
branch of the warlike resources of the country, a branch
on which so much depends, and to which the citizens of
London naturally look with so much respect and affection.
'Belonging as we do to to the city of London, we are in
an especial manner indebted to his Majesty for the urbanity
which he has invariably displayed, and for the munificent
patronage which he has extended towards our cheriteltle
institutions and national schools.—(Cheers.) From all
that we have had an opportunity of seeing. we could not
'but form a high opinion of the efficacy with which his
Majesty will support the Constitution of the country.—
(Cheers.) There is but one subject more on which I shall
address the Court. While the country is congratulating
itself on the accession of such a King, it is matter of le-
joicing also that his Majesty is allied to so amiable a Queen.
It will give the people of England the greatest happiness
to observe such evidences of conjugal affection as exists be-
tween his Majesty and his Queen. I have thus touched
upon the principle of the Address generally, and I trusi,
that upon such an occasion there will exist no difference
of opinion.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Oldham then moved
that a loyal and dutiful address be presented to his Majesty
'on the demise of his late Majesty, King George IV., of
blessed memory, and on the occasion of the succession of
the present King.
Mr. Deputy Dew rose to second the motion, but spoke
in so losti a tone that we could catch but a few words of
what he said. The only consolation the people of Eng-
land had in contemplating the demise of his late Majesty
was, that he was succeeded by one who was so much
beloved, who lived in the hearts of his people, and who
had given ample testimony of the beneficent spirit with
which he would wield the sceptre.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Rteueensost (of Cripplegate) then rose to address
the Court. He did not, he said, dissent from the senti-
ments which had been expressed by those who preceded)
rim, but Ire thought that this was an occasion on which
the Court would perform its duty, by counselling his
Majesty on the course which it might be proper to
adopt.—(Here there was an universal cry of order in the
Court.)
Mr. RICHARDSON repeated the obnoxious observation,
anti was again loudly called to order, but did not sit down.
Mr. S. DIXON rose, and said he gave every credit to
'the worthy member for the goodness of his intention, but
he thought the Fresent was not an occasion on which
their counsel was at all necessary, and the business on
which they haul assembled ought to be disposed of without
allusion to any topic calculate-I to interfere with the una-
nimity which it was so desirable should exist under all the
circumstance?.—(hear, hear.)—lle agreed in every thing
which had been said, with the exception of the single
sentence of Mr. Richardson, and he hoped there would
be no repetition of what the Court evidently considered.
not at all appropriate.
Mr. litcriannsore, who still remained standing, again
essayed to address the Court, but his voice was instantly
lost amid the general cry of " Order." After about a
.quarter of an hour had been consumed in this manner,
The Loan Melton rose and said that on such an occa-,
ksion be considered it a great reflection upon the Court that
'the member persevered in the course he had sat dwelt liar
himself, and which was so much at variance with the feel-
ing lay which all others appeared to he actuated. He
was sorry to use so harsh an expression, but he must say
such conduct threw disgrace upon the Court.—(Hear.)
Mr. Rwiteensote still persisted in addressing the Court,
but was received with nothing but continued hissing
Again the Loan MAYOR rose and besought girt, to yield
to the general feeling of the Court.
Mr. RICHARDSON, finding the opposition to him as
violent as ever, at last sat down.
Mr. Onmeeets proposition was then unanimouslyagreed
to, and a Committee was appointed to prepare a draft o,
the proposed Address. The Court then broke up.
