CROWN 'AND ANCHOR.

A number of persons, styling themselves Electors
rlVes tminster, yesterday ,dined at this place to.ce-
Vbrate the third anniversary of the EleEtion of Sir
yet S BURDETT for Westminster. Lord CocH-
I4NE took the chair. After the foll Owing toasts
'lad been drank--

" The King, and the Principles which seated his Family
tri the Throne."
" Westminster's Pride and EnglancPs Hope—Sir F. Bur-
det,r vv4s drank with enthusiasm,"
Mr. JONES BiJIMETT addressed the Meeting,. and
thanked them forthe hello& which they had done
I°, hig brother. He, went over the usual topics, of
against Ministers, and concluded with giving
Lord Erskine" a toast.
~.1-(4rd, COCHRANE then gave " The Eleeors of
‘/.strninster.

_Mr. STURcx, aftera few words of the same ten-
dency as the speech of Mr. B. JONES, gave “ Lord
Cochrane."

Lord COCHRANE, after this toast, which of-course
vas drank whh great zeal, uttered a very violent
harangue against Ministers and the House of Corn-
'bons. This turbulent declamation was followed by
a song, and when other toasts had been given, the
chairman proposed the 'health of Colonel WARDLE,
which was received with applause. The Colonel
arose to express his thanks, and-entered into a warm
Panegyric of his illustrious friend Sir FRANCIS BUR-
bETT. In the Course of his speech he attempted to
,
hurnourotis and 'witty, but the Prints on his own
cle skew that his atremp,s were miserably abor-
tiYe. After much low abuse of the, HUuse of Com-,

•
Itons, he had theconfidenbe to make the following
contemptible declaration :—",lf it were proposed
that the first 658 men who passed over Westrnin:-
ster-bridge, at any‘ tune whatever, should be ap-
Pointed to supersede the present Members of the
o.ouse rrf Commons, he would be contented 'to

port the proposition, and for this reason—that he
tiot-think the change could be fur the worse,
zhd it -Migia.be for the better." •
Witch the applause arising from this paltry speech
'''as at an end, the Chairman gaVe " Mr. Coke,
'ad the Freeholders of Norfolk." Mr. COKE, who,
Ive are sorry to find, disgraced himself by being pre-
sent at such a meeting, then arose to return thanks
to ti:e coinpany, but he soon adverted to the above
qly and indecent declaration of Mr. WARDLE,. and
his attacks on party. Mr. COKE avowed himself to
h',! a party man, and declared, that to a party, we
wire iniknted for the Revolution.
Mr. WARBLE attempted an awkward and bung-
ling explanation. • Mr. POWER then proposed the
health of Mr. Cobbett; which was of course well
received in such a meeting. Major Cartwright's
health, a very fit toast too in such meeting, was
.al,O ,drank, and-the.- company separated, flushed
Uhl) party spirit and liquor.

The London Gazette of Tuesday night contains
the folio ing loyal and truly excellent Address-to-his
lqaaEsTY, frOID the Gentlemen, Clergy, Freeholders,
Merchants, and Inhabitants of North Shields and its
vicinity, tli _ becoming sentiments of which are those.
cf every loyal- subject throughout the land :-
- 6' MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN.—We your Ma-
lesty's to-.;t loyal and dutiful sti*Cts, the Gentle-
Then, Clergy, Freeholders, Merchants, and inhabi-
tants of the town of- North Shields and its vicinity,
in the county of Northumberland, most respectfully
beg 'leave to assure:your Majesty of our firm, ZCii-
lous, and unshaken rsolution to support your Im-
perial Crown and Sovereign authority over these
realms, as established by the' laws, customs, and
ancient usages of this happy, wealthy, and, under
Mine Providence, highly tavOured land; and to
make known to your Maksty, that. with the most
profound regret, with feelings the most poignant,
we hear- of-proceedings and resolutions entered into
in and about the metropolis of this powerful Em-
pire, at which the minds of true British Patriots
must revolt: Such resolutions and proceedings
• (couched under the atrsurd and prostituted forms of
Petitions and Addresses) are broaching arid encou-
'aging dairines .the most &testable to. Englishmen ;
doctrines tending to subvert the allegiance of the
People, to base the bands of civil socnty, by break-
ing the peace of the community,' and endangering
'the industrious. commercial prosperity of Great Bri-
tain, under *he subtile, specious, delusive pre:ences
of Reformation, and preserr Mg liberty and.rights.
-Which are in no way endangered; Resolutions, Sire,
Which insult and threaten one of the constituted au-
thorities of the land, the Commons House of Par-
liament ; derogating and bringing into contempt its
ancient privileges and authority, and thus preparing
the way for,opening the flood gates of civil. war.
The scenes of confusion and, blood which such
unbridled conduCl produced, in not very distant,
periods of our history, recur to us with horror, and
we therefore feel the more induced (as it is our
bounden duty) to rally round the Throne ,and the
laws of this nation, especially at -a time When the
• 'wild speculative opinions, and distorted notions_ of
civil liberty and legislative., rights,. have produced
such havoc throughout Ebrope, and enthralled the
• fairest portion of 'Earth. 'On the ruins and wreck
of such nations kingdoms, and people, ;s raised up
a man, vatic., backed with military power, tramples
all law, order, rule, and -right under his'feet ; who
threatens to blot out or subjugate the political exist-
ence and independence (4 your Majesty's domini-
ons, and who reigns a frightful example of ruthless
arbitrary power, over rue fragments of States once
comparatively happy, until, under the suggestions
• and guidance of ambitious and evil-minded men,
they broke into complaints and grieVances, which
(if in exisfenc•;) moderation and political wisdom
could have removed with facility.
-With such examples and experience before our
. eyes, Sire,. we approach the Throne of these happy
Realms, tendering our services in aiding and assist-
ing the ‘Constiteted.Atithorities, to frustrate and
render abortive .the machinations of • head-strong,
misguided, and ambitious individuals; subjects of
your Majesty, whose views indisturbing the Public
Peace can no longer be 'concealed."

The body of the Cheiralirs D'EoN, whose dead)
is mentioned in a subsequent part of our Pa-'
per has b*en examined by Mr. COPELAND, the
Surgeon, of Golden-square, in the presence of
Mr. ADAIR, Mr. WiLsos, and LE PERE ELIZEE,
.811 prof, sslon 1 Geu. Lehicn, who decided that the
deeedfied wa3 a male.-
