Mr. Sheaf AtKW' said, AO .as he tad sorne-
times incurred the displcasure,of the Livery, it gaVe
him much satisfaction that he received their appro-
bation for his conduct on Thursday last. The plea-
sure. he felt was dot.bled, when he...refleeled that the
peace was preserved on that day more by the order-
ly disposition of the people than any extraordinary
exertion of the Sh-riffs: To. the great honour of the
immense concourse assembled on that occasion„ he
did not obServe an individttal who did not give im-
plicit obedience to his Orders .as soon. as he de-
livered them, and he trusted 'that the people would.
in future be animated by a similar spirit.' It was the
cordial co-op-ration of all ranks of people which
alone could preseive order, and. that . mijrt ge-
nerally,be had, as their objets in the main
were the same, and their differences might
be put' into a nut-shell. He trusted that in future

they would always conform to the laws, and obey

that whatever his situation should. be, however ar-,

form, he should never, by any consideration, be de-

The Meeting was then &missed.

TG THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,

The more I rc4e6t on the cnndu&t of the " City
Rookery," the more my mind is tranquilized a, to
the results of their exertion,.

History, indeed, affords but few examples of such
great daring•with so little talent, as has hitherto-
been exhibited by this noisy croaking commuuity.

It seemed a tolerAly bold beginning to supersede
the authority of the Lord Mayor, by convening he.
COrPoratson in their .inlet gowns,. in the Guildhall,
of this City, to make a pyt, in the., late intend,4
" expression of public sentinzent," as api.ears by their
summou§, dated the 13th,ost. This requi..ition
had hardly, been circulated when a vacillation in
their councils took place, from what cause it does
no appear ; h01,.0n the !Qat inst. received 'the.
following noiitcation, viz.
letter having been circu'ated. among
" th:k Ivleinhers Of the Common Council .with my
" na,l e, as Chairman, wihout my authority, under
" a misunderstanJing, I request . such members-as
" may wish to pay a personal respea. to Sir FHAN,
" CIS BURDETT (without appearing in their Cor,
porate capacity) to attend
,a Meeting, at-the New
" London Tavel n,. Cheapside, on Monday next, at
" 11 o'clock.

I am, with rea' respe&,
Your obed trot servant,
" SAMUEL FAVELL."

June i 6, 18 to.

By this notice it appears,- that the Chairman of
the ck;intnntee was under the necessity of shilling
t Ito odioin of the measure from his own shoulders,
to those of some of colleagues.
Flow many of the Corporlion have obeyNl this
urninons does not yet appear ; but, unquestion=
ably, a*list of ,them must be 'pr„..pitriug tOr the pub-
lic, together with the•lmnkerq,- ni,.!rchants,
sale dealers, principal manufacturers, ' men of hit-Id-
ea property, &c. Sce, who no doubt have eagerly*
seized tto oi por: unity, so happily afforded then) by
the " 'Rookery," of...joining io the late intended
''.expression 01 •public sentiroent:'

The next p int to which I wish‘to call your atten-
tion, is', the conduct of the -" Rookery' on the 1107
exgetled de.,ertiop of Sir F. BuituErr hbat they,
by their Secretary, and-a Member, of the Coniinit=
tee, tell tbihis lace, "We wish that some of our
friends had been io the Tower to have Foacap you
to the cirriage !" NOvv, Sir; this seer ed a tolerably
fair samvle of that kind of liberty' the good people
of England nay expect to enjoy, shOuld the Rookery
succeed in, their attempts ; and, I should think, also
a salutary and miequirocal, though unimeutional
warning to Sir F. BULIDETy. .

But: hore'again there appears something wrong in
their CouLcils, they have evidently, la the cat peep
out of the bag. prematurely, and in order to cobble up
this second blupder,, the worthy Secretary is made to
acknowledge, (I mean has voluntarily acknowledged),
in his letter, published officially,, that the obser-
vation above alluded to was his alone, and was
made, " not only in perfeat good humour, but even
jocularly ;" •(no doubt tile whole Rookery were in
perfect good humour, and extremely jocular on the
occasion), and that " to Sir-FaANcts BUR-
DETT as not sanctioned by the Committe." NOw,
11,1 r. Editor, I do not know what you may think of
,thin way of whiteashing a •Rookery, but you cer-
tainly must be of opinion, that they are under con-,
siderable obligation to their worthy- Secretary.
Whatever circa the conduct of the Rookery tray
have had on the mind of Sir FRANCIS, it is co:tain
his confinement has had a salutary one; for he tells
you that, " after having devoted more than half that
perrod to the subject of the late intended 'f expres-.
Sion of public sentiment,'; lie determined to forego
the part intended fOr hinP, and thus to cut both the
Procession, and the Rookery.:

With a full & termination to keep a steady eye
upon the Rookery, should they continue their zit,
tempts to irritate atict.miNlead the, public mind, I
shall again address you, unless indeed you slioitld
think them too contemrtZle to be noticed in your
columns, which, I assure you, begins to u., theopi-
nion of.

Bread-street Ward.

Letters from _the .coast of France to the 2001 inst.
were received yesterday. They state, that no de-
cree prohibiting the exportation'Of grain in general
has been published. Rye is the only species which
is not permitted to be exported: TheA letters,
however, communicate a new fiscal- regulation ;
namely, the imposition of a new duty of fifteen i'er
cent. on all wheat exported.

There wag no Court of A'det men held to-day, hut
the Lord Mayor, •atcrr i? spe::ring -the returns of I ba,
MeQlikeighers, or :erud ,he price of Bread to be con-
tinued at Is. sd. the Quartern Luat. •
