It being apprehended, from the conduct pursued
by Mr. WAITHMAN, and the rest of the Burdettite
'faEtion, at the Hackney Meeting, that the Resolu-
tions intended to be proposed at the Common Hall
would be equally, if not more violent, several re-
speetable Liverymen agreed to meet yesterday even-
ing,.to consider of the best means of counteracting.
the mischievous designs of. this desperate party;
they accordingly addressed a Circular, in general
terms, to about forty Liverymen, who were consi-
dered as attached to the Constitution and genuine
Liberties of the People, requesting their attendance
at the London Tavern, after the Common Hall.
On assembling they, however, found, that the cir,
cular had been re-printed, and most industriously
circulated by that virtuous and active. Citizen, who
lives near Snowhill, amongst the Livery at Guild-
, hall; in consequence of which Mr. WAITHMAN.,
his newly acquired friend, Mr. THOMPSON, Mr.
HURLOCK, and others of his party, made their ap=
pearance; and although it was stated that the
Liverymen who had summoned the meeting, had
met There to express their dissent to the Resolutions
of the Common Hall, these worthy patriots com-
menced their harangues, and created such confu-
sion and violence that the loyal and in,lependllt
party were obliged to adjourn into another room,
where they agreed to the Address inserted in an-
other part of our Paper. In the mean while, the
Burdettitzs harangued the people in the great room ;
and at last placed a Chairman of their owl; at the
opposite end of the table to that where Mr. Alder-
man SMITH sat, and entered into some Resolutions,
the sense of which could not, amidst the uproar,
be well colleeted. The behaviour of these p.irties
was most indecently outrageous ; it, however, led
to many strong observations on the condua of Mr.
WAITHMAN, and it is probable some of the allu-
sions which were made, could not fail to bring to
his recoleClion circumstances not altogether pleas-
ing t'
to his feelings.

Mr. WAITHNiAN received such a set down yester-
day at the London Tavern, as obliged him to retire
in confusion. He was clamouring (or somebody to
be put into the Chair, in •a Meeting into which he
and his party intruded themselves.--An honest Li-
veryman bid him propose " the Ghost of Lord
KENYON." This allusion to a trial in which his
Lordship was particularlyfinTibie in expressing his
opinion of Mr. WAITHMAN, quite disconcerted the
patriotic Linen-draper, and he immediately made a
chop fallen retreat.

A splendid car is building, (or the reception of Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT, who, it seems, Is to ascend tois
tl iumplial vehicle at the gate of the Tower, on the
day of his deliverance, which will be that of course
Qn which Varlignent is nropggeci.
