A.DmtEss TO THE KING.

Curs-rEn, Nov. 9.7.:--Yesterday, a respectable
meeting was held at the Town-hall, ia this city,
pursuant to public notice, for the purpose of vot-
ing an Address of Congratulation to his Majesty,
on his safe and happy return to this Kingdom,
after having visited his Irish and Hanoverian
dominions, at which the Right Worshipful the
Mayor presided.
The Lotto BISHOP rose, and addressed the
meeting in a peculiarly neat and impressive
speech. His Lordship paid some handsome and
well-deserved compliments to his Majesty, who
in the late visit he had paid to his Irish and con-
tinental dominions, had been received by his dis-
tant subjects with a cordiality and affection to
which he was pre-eminently entitled. Ile had
been requested to prepare the proposed address,
by some respectable inhab►tants; he had com-
plied, and he should ever feel great pleasure
in meeting the wishes of the people of Chester;
he observed, he had drawn up the address in such
a manner, as be trusted would meet with the ap-
probation of all present ; that he had avoided all
topics of a political nature which could create a
ditference of opinion ; and in a very delicate
. strain touched upon our local politics, which he
said had too lone- distracted and divided the city.
His Lordship, after several other pertineut re-
marks, expressed his confidence that this address,
containing,as it did, an ardent expression of attach-
ment to the person and government of his Majesty,
would receive the approbation of this ancient
and very loyal city. if such should be the case,
he should then move, that the same be signed by
the worshipful the Mayor on behalf of the Meet-
ing, and forwarded to Lord Sidmouth, with a
request, that it be laid at the feet of his Majesty
with all convenient speed. His Lordship con-
cluded by reading the Address, which was re-
ceived throughout with the most marked ap-
probation.
The Very Reverend Dean V.tconis seconded
the address. Ile had listened, he said, with
pleasure to the excellent speech delivered by the
Lord Bishop, who was ever alive to the interests of
his diocese. He also thought the proposed address
was most excellent and appropriate, and so free
from objection, that he could not see but it must
be approved by all who had the slightest pre-
tension to loyalty ; it perfectly accorded with
his own sentiments.

The address was then put, and by a spew of
hands carried unanimously.
Mr. FOLLIOTT addressed the meeting as fol-
lows :—Mr. MAYOR-After the eloquent man-
ner in which the motion before you has been
introduced by our worthy Diocesan, and the abi-
lities displayed by the Very Rev. the Dean, in
seconding the same, it perhaps may be considered
indecorous in me unnecessarily to take up your

time: but as I was the means of this meeting being
called, I cannot resist expressing my very high
satisfaction at observing it so numerously and
respectably attended ; being well convinced,
that every person who is conversant with the poli-
tics of Europe for these last thirty years, and par-
ticularly that dreadful drama, the French Revo-
lution,must see the necessity of coming forward in
support of the Throne, and every branch of our
glorious Constitution. I believe his present Ma-
jesty to 5e one of the best hearted men in his
dominions—and I know him to be the most
accomplished gentleman. I beg leave to move
the thanks of this meeting to the Right Rev. the
Lord Bishop of Chester, for moving this Address,
and to the Rev. the Dean of Chester, for second-
ing the same.—Mr. Fate seconded Mr. Folliott's
motion.

The Mayor baying left the Chair, the Lord
Bishop moved the thanks of the meeting to hir
Worship, observing, that his Mayoralty had be-
gun most auspiciously ; he had commenced an
active career of good, and he trusted he would
continue in it, and that by his future conduct he
would be endeared to all his fellow citizens. The
motion being seconded, it was carried, and the
meeting separated.—(Chater Courant, Nov. 27.)

THE THEATRE.—Mr. KENS last night again
performed the part of De Montfort, at Drury-
lane Theatre, and they who have not witnessed
his style of acting may, in this part, receive full
information, as it affords him scope for the dis-
play of his peculiar merits. lie certainly ap-
pears to more advantage in this character than he
did even in those horrffic distortions called Tra-
gedies, which for a few years past have been de-
rived from the dramatic writers of the Sister
Island.

Yesterday, at nine o'clock, Rear-Admiral Sir'
JOHN Poo BtausFoßD, Bart. K.C.B. and K.T.S.
Member for Coleraine, Ireland, hoisted his flag
(red at the mizen) on board the Dover, flag
ship, in Leith Roads, as Commander-in-Chief on
this station, in room of Rear-Admiral R. AV.
OTWAY. The usual salutes were fired on the
occasion.—(Edinburgh Courant, Nov. 26.)
As soon as the necessary repairs of the south
front of the Royal'Exchange are completed, it is
intended to commence cleansing the interior of
that building, and put into thorough repair the
mutilated statues of the late Kings and Queens
of ENGLAND, which are placed in niches around
the quadrangle of the Exchange. This is " a
consummation devoutly to be wished," as most
of them stand in need of the aid of the sculptor.

The following is a pretty accurate list of the re-
pairs wanting, exclusive of tattered robes and
broken sceptres :—EDWAnn I. is in want of two
fingers ; HENRY VIII. needs a feather in his
cap ; CHARLES 11. wants a left arm ; \VILLTAM
111. has lost his nose; and Queen ANNE three
fingers on her right hand ; GECRGE 111. requires
a left arm, and many are without shoes, and have
broken orbs.
There are several counterfeit sovereigns in cir-
culation, well executed. The reverse side of some
of them seems worn, and they have no sound.—
Others, supposed to be composed of a mix-
ture of platina,and other metals, ring when struck
against wood, but the sound differs totally from
that of the genuine Sovereigns.
A Square, and a Crescent, are intended to
adorn the open space between Sloane-street, and
Grosvenor-place.

THE BEGGAR'S SONG.

The MORNING CHRONICLE of this day contains a long
ditty, under the foregoing title, but as it has omitted some
striking mendicant facts, we beg leave to offer to it the follow-
ing additional stanzas, in the same measure :
The great CIIA TILES Fox, in former days, a begging-box sent

round,

Which some subscrib'd their pennies to, and some few gave a

pounff,

And •a begging he did go, • did go, did go,
And a begging he did go.

An Alderman of London town, well known for wooden pate,
The begging system put in force, to beg for Royal Plate,
And a begging he did go, &c. &c.

Now Bobby W.H.som tries the trick among his party fiends,
And since depriv'd of martial pay, his purse by begging mends
And a begging he will go, &c. &c.

TO THE BREWERS.
Ye men o' maut ! are ye gane wuid,
Combinin' thus, in haughty mood ?
It rouses baith ane's bile an' bluid
Your plans to hear,
(Sae hostile to your country's guid)
For raising Beer.

Nae shield sic an attempt can draw
Frae common sense, or statute law—
Ye canna join, wi' harpy claw,
• Our pence to seize ;
Or mak' us drink, wi' thirsty jaw,
. What stuff ye please :

You ear= do't, my doughty chiels !
The public indignation feels
An' Law, that equal justice deals
To every station,
Will listen to the loud appeals

'Gainst Combination.

Whilst poortith loud fox help is calling,
When siller's scarce, an' corn is falling,
An' manufactures just but crawling,
Baith loom an' wheel ;
Ye bee nae reason to be brawling
Of woes ye feel.

Tak' livid advice then for your guide--
Lay combination schemes aside—
Dissolve the league ere it be tried—

It winna

An' halesome Ale, be it your pride,
UnbOund to brew.
JOHN BARLEYCORN.
