MEETING AT THE CITY OF LONDON TAVERN THIS DAY) OF
THE BANKERS, MERCHANTS, AND SHIFOWNRRS.—At the hour
of 12 o'clock, hundreds of persons, Reformers, Whigs, and
Tories, took possession of the grand staircase leading to the
great roam, where the meeting was to be held, hallooing and
hooting for the door to be opened before the appointed hour,
which was 1 o'clock, but the committee did not comply with
their request. They threatened to burst the door open, in
Which they did not succeed. Reports were immediately
spread, that the committee had let the Tories in through the
private door, which led to the back staircase, and placards were
exhibited amongst the mob, with the words—" Reformers do
not go away " exhibited on them, which were immediately
seized by the police, who carried them off, amidst the groan-
ing and hooting of the mob.
At one o'clock exactly the door was opened, when a great
rush took place, and the room was immediately crowded to ex-
cess. Hundreds were obliged to retreat. The Royal Exchange,
Stock Exchange and the various Coffee-houses in the city,
are almost deserted, owing to the anxiety of the public wish-
ing to obtain entrance to the meeting. All is quiet at present.
Consols may be quoted at present 92i for the account,
with little doing.
