VESTRY MEETING.

A numerous meeting of the above vestry took place this
afternoon at the Board-rooms, Gordon-square, to take into
consideration the following notice of motion

" That a public meeting of the householders and other in-
habitants of this parish be called forthwith, to address the
King upon the necessity of forming such an Administration
as will conduct the affairs of the country with economy, pre-
serve peace abroad, abolish all abuses in Church and State,
secure to the people their full right in the election of repre-
sentatives to the Legislature, unshackled by restrictive tax-
paying clauses, short duration of Parliaments, and the pro-
tection of the ballot to the voter."

The junior churchwarden, CHARLES MUSTON, Esq., hav-
ing been called to the chair, the Vestry Clerk read the cir-
cular convening the vestry, when the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were read and confirmed.
Mr. MURPHY then- brought forward his motion. He
looked upon such a motion, he said, as highly necessary to
be carried by the vestry of St. Pancras in the present'im-
portant state of the political affairs of the country. He
need not, he thought, dwell upon the fact that the late Ad-
ministration had been dismissed by his Majesty. The
more engrossing subject was, that his Majesty had taken
into his Council again a man who had distinguished him-
self in every oppressive and persecuting measure —,a
man who had only learned to apply the sword where his
will was opposed, and had joined himself with a faction
which the people hoped had long since ceased to exist.—
(Hear, hear.) He was no particular friend of the Whigs,
but he -was a determined enemy of the Tories. He woud
not, he begged to gay, oppose the elevation of the Tories
to office, did he not feel confident that they could not go-
vern the country without confusion.—(Hear, hear.) He
felt confident that the iierson who bad come into office
would come in as a dictator—(Hear, hear) ; but he (Mr.
Murphy) well knew that the- people would not acknow •
ledge a dictator—(Hear, hea.r)—and it was the duty of
the people, upon such an elevaiion to office, to express to
the King their feelings, and also the situation of the coun-
try consequent upon that elevation, calling upon him to see
that an Administration was formed 11:tely to give the people
their full rights, and preserve that puce in the country
which was so important in the present state of Europe. In
referring to the strange manner in which Ow late Admini-
stration had been dismissed, and to the innate which the
Duke of Wellington had manifested to enter upon his offi-
cial duties, Mr. Murphy said he could not forget that the
Duke had declared himself an enemy of all reform—(Hear,
hear) ; and also that, while lie was connected with the Ge-
vernment, he would not be a party to reform --(Load cries
of " Hear, hear !")
Mr. :MURPHY then moved the resolution.
Mr. Moors, M.P., .seconded the resolution.
Mr. Ilv OE opposed the motion, on the ground that it in-
terfered with the prerogative of the Crown, and that it was
inexpedient.—(Laughter.) He contended that the King
had chosen a man of energy and a man who would act.—
(Ironical cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") He concluded by
moving an amendment for the postponement of the public
meeting, which fell to the ground from the want of a seconder.
Mr. HOLMES, the barrister, thought a public meeting
should be held, that the parishioners should have an oppor-
tunity of expressing their opinion with firmness.—(Hear.)
He was pleased that the palish was about to be called to-
gether, as the expression of feeling from a parish so popu-
lous and wealthy as that of St. Pancras could not fail to
have its effect in the proper quarter--(Hear, hear)—and he
trusted the inhabitants would tell the Crown that they would
not support any Administration that was entirely Tory.—
Clear, hear.)
1/4 1,1 r; RoumEnnE, solicitor, thought it highly necessary
that a pchlic meeting should be held. The King should
listen to the qdvice of the people in this important crisis ;
they wanted lichest men, and not any back-stair work.—
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. CUMMINS offer;'d scme remarks upon the operation
of the ballot in America.
Mr. REDDISH spoke in far our of the operation of the
ballot in America.
Mr. IvIMEY, solicitor, also spoke is favour of the ballot,
and did not see how their expressing their opinions at a
public meeting upon the late political chaalge could inter-
fere with the prerogative of the Crown.
Mr. VIGORS, M.P., never sought the protection of the
ballot, but considered it necessary for the protection of those
who were dependent ; he had witnessed above a hundred
families cast upon the highways in Ireland for having exer-
cised a honest vote ; such misery would not have been un-
dergone had the ballot been afforded to them.
Mr. Mortruv replied, and the resolution was carried with
one dissentient.
A Committee was nominated to fix the time of the pub-
lic meeting, and to draw up the address to the King, to be
presented to the householders upon that occasion.
The Committee afterwards sat, and appointed Wednes-
day Lext, at one o'clock, for the public meeting.

ANCIENT AND HON. LUMIMR TROOP.
On Wednesday night a most crowded meeting of this
ancient and honourable troop was held at head-quarters,
Andertcn's Hotel, Fleet-street.
After the regular business of the troop had been dis-
posed of,
Colonel CHARLES rose to propose the health of a com•
rade whom the Times newspaper had most grossly calum-
niated—Mear, hear)—he meant past-Colonel Taylor.—
(Great cheering.) Whatever the 'l'inres might say, it was
well known to their fellow-citizens that Mr. Taylor and
Mr. Galloway had always maintained a straightforward,
ho-
nest, and consistent conduct—they had always been Ro-
-1 formers, always endeavoured to promote the welfare of
