APPOINTED MEETING OF THE
CITY OF LONDON CONSTITUENCY.

A number of men haying on Monday, by order of some of
the most enlightened members of the Parliamentary constitu-
ency of the city of London, paraded the principal streets with
placards, announcing that a meeting would take place on
Wednesday (this day) in the Guildhall, to consider the pro-
priety of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Munici-
pal Reform Bill, the Lord Mayor issued orders that such a
mode of announcing such intelligence should not be perse-
vered in. The police accordingly interfered, and the placards
quickly disappeared, and were yesterday morning brought up
to the Mansion-house, in the presence of the Lord Mayor,
before whom the men who had carried them also appeared.
There was a great crowd in attendance, the fact of the inter-
ference of the police having excited no small degree of con-
fusion and embarrassment in Cornhill, immediately opposite
to the Mansion-house.

Mr. David Wire, the solicitor applied to the Lord Mayer
in the name of his client, Mr. Lake, for the boards, and re-
quested to know by whose authority they had been seized.
The Lord Mayor said they had been seized by his direc-
tion, but they should be restored upon the promise that they
should no longer be exhibited in the public streets.
Mr. Wire would not make any pledge of the kind. He as-
serted that the placard contained no offensive matter, • and
that the Lord Mayor had no right to issue such directions;
and he gave notice to the officers, that if, after the restora-
tion of the boards, they seized them, be should certainly
prosecute. _

The Lord Mayor—l don't want to have anything to say to
you, Sir. You only come here to excite a riot and confusion.
The boards shall be restored.

Mr. Wire —My object is to preserve the peace. Your con-
duct, my Lord Mayor, is the most likely to cause the riot and
confusion of which you speak; and I believe it to be your in-
tention to excite, if possible, to a breach of the peace.
The Lord Mayor—l believe, Sir, that you and your party
only want to effect agitation and to kick up a riot and disturb-
ance in the City of London, and I am determined to prevent
anything of the kind. Depend upon it, nothing of the kind
shall take place while I have the power to prevent it.
Mr. Wire expressed his astonishment that the Lord Mayor
should dare to libel gentlemen who were more respectable in
their several spheres than his Lordship himself.
Mr. Lake here requested that his boards should be given
up to him.

The Lord Mayor—l shall have nothing to say to you, Sir,
for you live by agitation—you get your bread by it.
Mr. Dillon, who, with Mr. fieppel and Mr. Edward
Wilson, attended to see the result of the application of Mr.
Wire, said, " My Lord Mayor, will you restore the stolen
property ?"
The Lord Mayor—Such a course as that adopted cannot be'
jtxstified. Those_plaeards state what is false. One of -them
says " The Lord Mayor has again refused to call a Common
Hall." Now that means that I have refused upon this -occa.:
sion more than once to call a Common Hall, and it is ealcu.
lated to excite the public feeling against me, to point me out
to the crowd as an obnoxious person, and to bring the chief
magistrate into contempt.
Mr. Wire—Will your Lordship say what is untrue about
the placard ?
The Lord Mayor—Why, the assertion that I refused more
than once is false.

Mr. Wire—=The placard states nothing but the fact, and as
to the idea that it is calculated to bring you into contempt,
your own actions have done that for you already.
The Lord Mayor—l'll turn you out of the room, Sir. Of-
ficers, turn that man out.

Mr. Wire—l am satisfied that the officers will do nothing
of the kind. If they dare to lay hands upon me I have a re-
medy in my power, and I shall exercise it.
Mr. Heppell—My Lord, we want these boards.
Mr: Edward Wilson—The men have committed no offence;
why should they be detained in custody ?
The Lord Mayor—They are not in custody. They were
not taken into custody.
Mr. Wire—lt is just the same thing, for they were obliged
to promise to come to the Mansion-house.
Here Mr Wire asked the men, five or six of whom were
present, whether they could recognise the policeman who took
away the placards ?

They pointed out policeman No 1, as the person.
The policeman said that he had acted by the Lord Mayor's
direction, but he did not take away any placards. He ordered
the men who held them to take them to the station-house, and
that was accordingly done.
Mr. Wire—Was there any disturbance before you interfered?
The policeman said there was not, but there was some
afterwards.

Mr. Lake : Will your Lordship give orders that the boards
be restored?

The Lord Mayor : I have already gien directions to that
effect, but I will not allow them to be exhibited, particularly
that which points at the chief magistrate in any way likely to
detract from his dignity and to cast odium upon him. Take
notice, that if any man exhibit a board with such a placard
upon it, he shall be taken into custody.
Mr. Wire—l give notice, that if any man seize upon the
placards after they are restored by the Lord Mayor, I shall
immediately commence proceedings against him.
Mr. Edward Wilson said that the placard-bearers ought
not, if any attempt wow made to deprive them of their
boards, to give them up willingly, and if they were deprived
of theme a prosecution for the robbery should be immediately
commenced.
The Lord Mayor recommended to those who thus came
forward, to go home as soon as possible, and mind their busi-
ness, instead of coming mit to kick up rows and disturbances.
For his part all he wanted was peace and quietness, and to
support the dignity of the office of the Lord Mayor; neith'er
of which objects he could accomplish if he were to allow men
to carry about obnoxious placards reflecting upon himself.
Mr. Wire and his clients, and all the others interested then
withdrew, and the boards were taken away by them.
The following is a copy of the placard most generally exhi-
bited throughout the city :
" CORPORATION REFORNl.—Liverymen and Householders, at-
tend the meeting at Guildhall on Wednesday next, at twelve for
one o'clock, precisely.—Alderman Wood, in the chair."

The probable sum required for the embankment at
Westminster-bridge for the new houses of Parliament is 43,000/.

Mr. Montague Levyson, gold and silver.sinith, of
No. 5, New Broad-street, has requested us to, state that he
has no connection with the individuals of the name of Jacob
Myer Levison, or Benjaman Levison, who was examined be-
fore Mr. Alderman Harmer, at Guildhall, on Friday last, and
the Mansion-house on Saturday last.
THE EXTRAORDINARY FIRE ON WANRTEALP
FLATS.—At an early hour yesterday morning, the Captain's
Company of Sappers and Miners, consisting of seventy men,
who had been sent from Woolwich, in consequence of an order
issued to the Admiralty by the Home Office, recommenced
their work of digging a trench of five feet in width, and from
six to eight inches in depth around the burning surface, and at
three o'clock in the afternoon, had accomplished their work.
This precaution, which, if adopted in the early part of last
week, would have prevented much of the mischief done,
it is hoped, prevent the fire from spreading further, and allay
the fears of the inhabitants of the surrounding neighbourhood..
Should the present weather last, and not a very heavy fall or
rain come on, it is supposed by those who pretend to be conveau.
sant with the nature of the soil, that it will be some weV.,:s
before it exhausts itself. The extent of the damage, tbo.agh
sated in our paper of yesterday. to be thirty acres, is Sound
not to exceed twenty; but this, for some time. to come,
gill be rondered wholly useless. and will, as has been before
stated, be a great loss to the inhabitants of t'zo neighbourhood
•v ho had the right of pasturage.
