CORONATION.

MEETING AT THE FREEMASONS' TAVERN.—(THIS DAY.)
According to public advertisement, a meeting for the purpose of pe-
titioning for the postponement of the Coronation, was held at the Flee-
masons' Tavern this day. 4
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY took the Chair at one o'clock, by
which time the room was tolerably well filled.
The Noble CHAIRMAN said he felt it his duty In taking the Chair on
that occasion to express the sense he felt of the high honour which
had been conferred upon him by being desired to preside over a
meeting of the trades of London. He would endeavour to preside over
the meeting with impartiality, and he hoped that no expression of poli-
tical feeling would be given, though in such times all must feel much
interested them. He need not detain them long, as he had **early
given expression to his opinion in his place in Parliament, as well as in
a letter which had received general circulation. He was there to fulfil a
duty—if he did it with satisfaction to them, he would receive
all the reward he wished. He would say a few words upon the
matter, and would consider it in two views. The first was the great
and undue hastening of the proceeding; the second was, the great
curtailment of the ceremony.—(Loud cheers.) With respect to the
first, the period formerly was chosen after the prorogation of Parlia-
ment, when there should be an august ceremony. Why should it be
fixed in the middle of the London season—(Cheers)—which would
put an end to the business of London- It was said in excuse that
her Majesty intended to give fetes and balls after the coronation. Why
could not her Majesty give these fetes and balls before the ceremony ?
—(Cheers)—would not the rank and nubility of the country, who were
obliged to attend the ceremony, immediately after hasten clown to their
homes or watering places. In fact the town immediately after the cere-
' ninny would be free from all the usual festivities of a London season.
With respect to the curtailment of the ceremony there had
already been some change, and no doubt it had been brought about by
their good sense and interference. There was to be a procession of
carriages, but that would be nothing more than the usual procession at
'a Drawing room. How could the Nobility have new carriages built in
the short time allowed by the Government ? Of course then they could
not buy horses, and all would suffer. But if there were to be a walking
procession the matter would be very different, for the time allowed
would enable them to embellish themselves with the silks, and velvets,
and all those things which made work for the tradesmen.—(Cheers) It
would give a great impetus to all trades in the country.—(Cheers.)
Then again there was to be an end pat to the banquet. Why should
that be in a country which was one of the most hospitable in the world ?
—(Cheers.) The last Coronation was not to be taken as a precedent,
for his gracious Majesty felt that age was coming upon him, and
knowing that his isuccessor was young, he gave up his will.
It was well known that the late King felt old age creeping fast upon
him, and wished to have the processions, &c. of the coronation curtailed
as much as possible,bocause he could not endure the fatigue. They had
a long and auspicious reign before them.—(Hear, hear.) They had a
young person, who, thank Almighty God, had the strong health to ride
fourteen or fifteen miles a-day, to see her loving subjects at the theatre,
and to see them at the drawing-room.—(Cheers.) She had, thank God,
the strong constitution of the house of Brunswick.—(Hear, hear, and
laughter.) And therefore it was absurd to say she could not endure
the fatigue of a procession and a banquet.--(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
They very often heard of " tea and turn out," but on this occasion
they were to have a turn out and no tea.—(Laughter.) Was the argu-
ment of economy to be used ? He had thought it proper to look at the
Excise returns for the year in which the Allied Sovereigns came over to
this countryand the year of the coronation of George IV. The gross re-
ceipt of the Excise in one year, ending the sth of January, 1820, was
27,255,8101. The gross receipt of the following year, ending January,
1821, was 31,298,7331, In the year ending January, 1822, the re-
ceipt was 31,812,985/, therefore between the year 1821 and 1822, there
was an increase of 600,0001.—(Hear.) It was right that they should
know what the real sense of the Trades of this country was. The Trades
fell that when all the flower of the world were coming to vie with each
other in appearing before our virgin Queen, the artisan and manufac-
turer ought to feel the benefit of it.—(Hear.) They were bound to
make their representations to her Majesty and the Legislature. The
Noble Chairman, after having apologised for detaining the meeting so
long, expressed a hope that all parry and political questions would be
banished from their discussion.—(Cheers.) •
Sir WALTER JAMES felt great pleasure in coming forward to move
the first resolution. It would be perfectly in the recollection of every
one present, that on the occasion of the Coronation of his late Majesty
William the Fourth great dissatisfaction and discontent was expressed
that it was not solemnized in a more becoming and fitting manner. If
he might be permitted to allude to such things in such an assembly, he
would remind them that the subject had been caricatured by a clever
artist—" H. B."—who termed it " The Half Coronation," and repre-
sented his Majesty going to his Coronation in a hackney-coach.—(A
laugh.) What would the great Marshal Soult, the representative of the
French nation, or the representatives of Austria or Russia, say, if on
their first landing they should be presented with a caricature of her
Majesty going to her Coronation in a hackney-coach, and the
great Ministers of State in an omnibus ?—(Great laughter.)
He would ask, was that consistent with the dignity of that
mighty empire ?—(Hear, and cheers.) He was sure the trades
of London would not— (No, no.) He met a gentleman who had
been on the Continent a few days ago, and he told him (Sir W. James),
that being in Frankfort, he saw a large crowd in one of the streets, and
it turned out to be a number of Germans, looking, with the greatest re-
spect and admiration, at a portrait of their young and beautiful Queen.
—(Great cheering.) He could assure them that the approaching cere-
mony would attract European attention, and ought to be solemnized in
a proper and decorous mariner. He would not allude to the indecent
manner in which it had been hurried on, in the middle of the London
season. First it was put on, then it was put off, and then it was put
on again—( A laugh)—in a manner perfectly unjustifiable. He would
ray that the interests of that great country had been sacrificed
the interests of the Aristocracy, the interests of the gentry and the
landed interest had been assailed—the true interests of the farmer, who
fed the manufacturer, had been overlooked—and what is more, he might
say without political allusion, that the interests of the manufacturers and
the merchants bad Leen despised.—(No.) He would ask what that
meant? The most profligate spendthrift well knew, that when
he was cutting clown his timber, he must lop off the spreading branches
before he could assail the 'Royal trunk, and he would say that the shabbi-
ness of the present Ministry— (Loud cries of " No, no," hissing, great
confusion, followed by cries of " Off, off.")
The Noble CHAIRMAN at length rose. He did not think the gentleman
was out of order in alluding to the shabby course taken by Government.—
(No, no.) That was Iris allusion, and he would ask them whether instead
of the former splendid and magnificent ceremony, they were to have a
hackney-coach and carriage procession. Was not that shabby ?—(Cheers
and laughter.) If anything like political or party feeling was evinced,
he would have felt it his duty as Chairman to check it.
Sir W. JAAIES resumed. He begged to apologise for the remark that
had unintentionally fallen from him. The Noble Marquis had certainly
introduced the subject in a very proper correct and gentlemanly manner.
He certainly could not call the ceremony as it was to be conducted
splendid or magnificent, and he had used an opposite term in the heat
of debate, which he was willing to suppress. All he would add was,
that the Queen they now had was " every inch a Queen ;" and she
ought not to be deprived of that chivalrous pageantry that rightfully be.
longed to one who occupied the throne of the Plantagenets.—(Cheers.)
Mr. DYNEVOR seconded the resolution. No man now living could
expect to witness another coronation. Their present Queen was a lady,
and when she ascended the throne it was under circutnstances
more sanguine than ever occurred before. It was to be lamented
that all those splendid decorations, which had formerly given the
most magnificent impressions of that country to foreigners should
be curtailed. _ He had heard no substantial reason for the present pro-
ceeding but economy, but if the sutn of money required for a walking
procession had been expended, as in the time of George the Fourth, it •
would materially benefit the trading interests. Let them look at the
state of the Spitalfields weavers, and the appeals made on their
behalf to the charitable sympathies of the public—(Hear, hear)—
The economy put forward on the present occasion reflected immortal
disgrace upon the persons who proposed it.—(Mr. D. here paused, and
at length referred to some notes which he held in his hand. This in-
cident occasioned great laughter, and there were loud cries of " Read,
read, read.") He begged to apologise, as the present was
the first public meeting he had ever attended. The coronation
he would repeat could be shorn of its splendour, and he for one would
rather enter into a subscription and put his own name at the head of the
list, and he pledged himself to supply any deficiency there might be in
the revenue.—(Laughter.) He believed the Government were proceed-
ing in ignorance of the feelings of the people, and when the true state of
their sentiments were before them they would alter their intentions.—
(Long continued cheering,) He begged to second the resolution.
Mr. VINCENT then presented himself, and said, before the resolution
was put, he had an amendment to move.—(Cheers and uproar.) He
had been delighted with the commencement of the proceedings, by the
fair and impartial mode adopted by their respected Chairman. He had
an amendment to propose, and if the meeting decided against him he
would be satisfied with their decision. The advertisement calling the
meeting stated that the Coronation was of vital importance to the
peer and the peasant ; but he, as one of the working classes, took a
somewhat different view of the subject from the Noble Chairman.
It was proper, upon such an occasion, that there should not be an ap.
peal to the passions of the people. The appeal ought to be made to their
reason and intelligence—aye, even on so great an occasion as a Corona-
`lion. He was of opinion that it mattered very little what the respective
Sovereigns ofEurope thought of the Coronation of our Queen.—(Uproar
and great confusion, which lasted for a considerable time.) At last
The Noble CHAIRMAN said the great subject they all had in view
required, and at a great public meeting it was nece.sary, that they should
preserve order. They might lose two hours hearing the applauders and
dissentients to the Honourable Member. He should, therefore, wish it

ie
to be put to the meeting whether it was their wish that he should 1
heard or not ?---(Cheers.)
Mr. VINCENT submitted whether it was just that he should ba so in,
terrupted. Let them hear him, and if his sentiments did not pleasa,
them, he gave them credit for sufficient reason to vote against his
amendment.—(" Read it," and uproar.) He would read his Amend-
ment but it was necessary that he should be heard after-
wards in explanation. His amendment was," That the Governm. 5535

pense, and on the day first named, in consequence of the distressc c°,n.
dition of a great portion of the working classes.—(Cheers.) ; seer `od.lc)ti''
because of the depressed state of the revenue ; and thirdly, (to '6 .1"
he especially called the attention of every reasonable man,) bee: 05.
Coronations are useless and expensive."—(Great uproar for some o
sidelable time.)
The Noble CHAIRMAN again interfered, saying he was extremely de'::
sirous of throwing himself upon the consideration of the meeting,
the purpose of being enabled to perform the duty thrown upon him• b e
bA cgged to tell the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Vincent) that he Wa'
called upon to preside by the trades of London, but he had not ome
there to hear it stated that Coronations were useless.
Mr. VIN CENT—I will withdraw that past of it.—(Cries of " No.")

Mr. LAWRENC6 then proceeded, amidst the greates;t confusion and,
noise, to address the meeting, and concluded by moving a resolution ot,
the effect, that the meeting deeply regretted the procession on fcni
and that many of the ancient usages were to be dispensed with. anbe
which they felt would affect the dignity of the country, anu
most detrimental to many branches of commerce and .manufacture_r_
and that the Coronation being fixed for so early a period, seas a cir
stance heretofore unusual, and would naturally tend to shorten the
season, and interfere with arrangements already entered intooY
