STATE OF PUBLIC OPINION

AND
MOYIALJNTS IN THE METROPOLIS.

CITY.
COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Concluded from our First Edition of yesterday, and which ap-

peared in our Second Edition of last night :
Mr. WILLIAMS (in continuation) asserted, without fear of con-
tradiction, that the attachment of the people was deeply rooted
towards the present Monarch, and they should not forget
that in the year 1786 no Monarch was ever held in higher
estimation than the King of France, but while listening to the
advice of bad Councillors and bad Ministers, the misfortunes
which ensued five years afterwards were incurred by that mo-
narch. He was not come there to defend the acts of the Whig go-
vernment,but he felt the deepest gratitude to them for the Reform
Bill. That unfortunate Government, by not making that Reform
Bill a means to an end for removing all abuses of Church and
State—by their truckling to their enemies the Tories—by not
going as they promised, along with the people, and throwing
themselves on the people, lost their confidence. It was one
thing to find fault with the late Minitry, but it was quite ano-
ther thing to see Ministers who had been twice driven from the
King's councils by the voice of the people, again come into
power. Who, he would ask, were to fill the various offices in
the new Ministry ? The very man who had been expelled so
lately as being the deadly foe to all reform I The Worthy
Alderman had quoted the observation of the Lord Mayor, re-
lative to there being no alarm ; but was there not ground for
great alarm and mighty terror, when the loyal citizens
of London were not permitted to deliberate on the affairs
of their country ?—( Cheers, and Cries of " Hear, hear,
hear.") When he looked around and observed the machina-
tions of the dirty tools of that faction, he might infer from
that what was to come. They all knew that in 1817 that
faction, in order to put down Reform, brought forward the
gagging bill and dungeon acts, by which they placed the
foremost of the reformers in their dungeons ; and now the very
first measure is the introduction of the gag to prevent the people
of London from meeting and more fully declaring their senti-
ments. They might see from that,that there was alarm in the very
camp of the Tories, and that they feared the expression of pub-
lic opinion. It had been said that the Duke of Wellington
had fought many battles, but he fought the battles of the des-
pots of Europe, for the purpose of placing the Bourbons who
had been expelled upon that throne from which they were
again expelled by the people—and this at an addition of be-
tween five and six millions to the public debt of England. It
behoved the Reformers, as one man, constitutionally and le-
gally to come forward and put down such a Government.
The head of that Government on the 2d November, 183 C,
made a declaration in the House of Lords, in reply to Earl
Grey, that " he was not prepared to bring forward any mea-
sure of the description alluded to by the Noble Lord oppo-
site. On the contrary, so far was he from being prepared to
bring forward such a measure, he must at once declare that so
long as he had any station in the Government, he should
always feel it his duty to resist such measures when proposed
by others." He ( Mr. W.) would ask what they had to expect
from the man who made such a declaration ? There were some
who might have more faith in the Duke than himself, but he
could expect no Reform from the man who had so expressed
himself. It was well known that the faction was now brought
into power, to try and regain that lost power and that strength
which the Reform Bill had deprived them of. This was their
last struggle, and if Englishmen did not meet them on their
threshold, they would find their intriguing measures again at
work to make alterations even in the Reform Bill, and
every species of bribery and fraud will be resorted to
for the purpose of obtaining that end.—(Loud cheering.)
There could be scarcely any difference of opinion relative to
the address which had been read, and which had his most
hearty concurrence, because it said not one word of the late
Ministry, or of any other individuals. It only implored of his
Majesty to call none to his councils, but such as will carry on
those measures of reform which the Reform Bill had laid the
foundation of. He objected to the men about to come into
power, because he knew that their measures would be opposed
to the wants and wishes of the people.—( Cheers. )
Mr. S. DIXON said that nothing but imperative necessity
would impel him, now advanced in years, to come forward ; but
when matters of such vital importance were under discussion,
he could not avoid giving expression to his sentiments. The
conduct of the Duke of Wellington had been freely canvassed,
and it had been asserted that no military man could be a good
civil governor. They should recollect, however, that the Duke
of Wellington conquered the greatest tyrant that Europe ever
produced, and thereby preserved the peace of the world. If he
had not done so, what position would they be in now? They
should not that day have even had a Court of Common Council.
( Laughter, and " Hear.") These services ought not to be
forgotten ; but it was strange that not one gentleman had come
fot ward to defend the conduct of the late Administration. The
members of that Administration could not trust one another; on
the contrary, they should wait to see what conduct the Duke
of Wellington would pursue. He trusted that he would not be
like another nobleman, an itinerant mountebank, travel-

COURT FOR THE RELIEF OF INSOLVENT

DEBTORS.

ling about the country from one end to the other, get-
ting drunk at public dinners and haranguing the
mob. The Members of the Administration were
as diametrically opposed to one another as light to darkness.
It had been complained of that the Duke of Wellington had
restored the Bourbons to France—but, he would ask, had the

people of France more liberty now than they had then?
He trusted that the Court would not countenance the present
attempt to infringe on the privileges of the Sovereign—they
were ready to admit that Lis Majesty possessed those privileges,
but they would not give him an opportunity of exercising
them. He would conclude by leaving the matter to the good
sense of the meeting, and it would not be hard to foresee what

the result would be.
Mr. R. TAYLOR remarked that complaints had been made
of interfering with the prerogatives of the King, but he would
refer them to the various addresses of the citizens of London
to his Majesty, and they would find they all referred
to this subject.—( Hear, hear, hear.) There was no
question on which the people of England generally felt so
deeply interested as in the appointment of wise and zealous
men to his councils. The worthy Alderman had complained
that those who sanctioned the present address did not " honour
the King." Surely honour to the throne must be founded on
just views of his public and private conduct, and all who feel
jealous of his Majesty's conduct, and who feel a deep
interest in his honour and character, must be anxious to know
the cause of the dismissal of the late Ministry. Was there a
man among them who did not wish that the character and con-
duct of William the Fourth should merit his respect to his
dying day ? Those who felt anxious upon this subject, must
be anxious to know on what grounds his Ministers were so
abruptly dismissed ?
The LORD MAYOR rose to order. He conceived such an
inquiry had nothing to do with the subject before the Court.
They must suppose that his Majesty had good and proper mo-
tives for such conduct.
Mr. TAYLOR resumed.—He agreed in these observations
of the Lord Mayor, but he thought it strange that the reins of
Government should be placed in the hands of a single man,
and that the country should be told to wait until some-
body returns from abroad, before they could know what
the Ministry should be, or who would compose it. Was
this a state which did not justify alarm in the public
mind ? An extract had been read from one of the
Duke of 'Wellington's speeches. He (Mr. T.) would read
another, which rather confirmed the opinion he entertained
of him. The Duke had said that "tithes could be levied
in Ireland if the military there would do their duty."
This was a proof of what they had to expect
from him. The Noble Duke had recently observed to
a Member for one of the large Northern counties, that there
was a way to compel the people to be quiet if they were not
an. From the beginning of his career in India they might infer
what his character was, for he had there hanged the
commandants of forts, who held their commission from neu-
tral powers.
The LORD MAYOR again rose to order. He could not suffer
such personalities to be persevered in.
Mr. TAYLOR said that more bitter personalities had been
used on the other side. A Noble and Learned Lord
had been charged with being an itinerant mountebank, and
when he ( Mr. T.) saw a smile of assent on his Lordship's
countenance when that noble and learned lord was accused of
getting drunk—( Loud cheering, and cries of " Hear")—
The LORD MAYOR again rose.—He would not suffer such
an imputation to be cast on him. He should take care and not
permit it to proceed, and he was sure he should be supported
by the Court.—( Hear.)
Mr. TAYLOR resumed—Would his Lordship deny that the
words had been spoken? He would ask the Court to loolr at
the conduct of the Duke of Wellington towards the Gallant
Marshal Ney, who had been sacrificed in violation of a treaty
to which the Duke of Wellington was a party 1—( Tremendous
cheering.)
Mr. COPE rose to order.
Another MEMBER exclaimed, " There is no occasion for
alarm."—( Cheering and uproar.)
The LORD MAYOR rose.—He trusted that the good sense
of the gentleman who was speaking, and a knowledge of what
was due to his own character, would induce him to restrain
him from proceeding in that manner. If the gentleman would
not conduct himself in a proper way towards individuals high
and illustrious in society, he (the Lord Mayor) must have
recourse to the means which he constitutionally possessed of
utting a. i end to the d:smssion.—( Much uproar.)
Mr. TAYLOR resumed—lf his Lordship could tell him how
he could discuss the subject without entering into the public
character of the individual, he should do so. His Lordship
should recollect that he had not spoken of the private character
of the Duke of Wellington. Nor would he have presumed to
make those personal allusions, if his Lordship had not by his
silence countenanced the imputations which had been cast on
the late Administration. If his Lordship could not
bear to have the Duke's public character alluded to,
he ( Mr. Taylor) would desist from it: The events which
had lately happened in the House of Lords, relative to the Irish
Church, was the point upon which the Ministry were over-
thrown. The late Ministry were determined to proceed and
effect substantial Reform in both Church and State, but
the Bishops came forward, and told the country that
the Sovereign could not sanction the necessary Reform,
without violating the Coronation Oath. They could not
forget his Majesty's address to the Bishops on his birth-
day when they waited upon him. Some might say that he
had no authority for alluding to this, but the Tories were so sa-
tisfied of its accuracy, they wished it printed in letters of gold.
Besides, the report was a correct one, for he had it from one of
the Bishops themselves. Here they might see that evil coun-
cillors were at work to induce his Majesty to put a stop to the
career of Reform.—( Hear, hear.) They only waited for
an opportunity to turn all the Ministers out of doors ; and
it was absurd to suppose that the death of Earl Spencer
could have occasioned such an event. He trusted that the
i present attempt of the Tories would be attended with a glo-
