SOUTHWARK MEETING.

ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN, AND PETITION TO THE
HOUSE OFI,OMMONS.
Yesterday a meeting of the InhabitOts, house=
holders of Southwark, pursuant to a requisition,
was held in the Town-hall. At-half-past twelve
o'clock JoirN PRINCE', Esq. High Bailiff, took
the Chair, accompanied by Sir R. Wilson, Charles,.
Calvert, Esq. Mr. Alderman Wood, tsx.rtho
'were received with loud cheers: The Deputy
Bailiff then read the Requisition ; after which,
Mr. TiromAs MOULDEN said, that before ad-
dressing the meeting he had to infoßn them, that
in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Solo-
mon Davis, it devolved upon hint to move the
Resolutions, and as an Englishman he was proud
to do so. Ile had 'the honour of meeting her
Majesty at St. Omer's, with a distinguished
English friend ; he then proffered her Majesty
the use of his house, for it was then, both here
and in France, supposed that her Majesty could
not land on the English coast. As a proof of
this, he was told that " the cannon at Dover
were loaded," to which he replied, that 44 they
Were loaded to protect a just. cause." Her Ma-
jesty did collie to England, and threw- herself on
the protection of Englishmen. After a few other
obseTvations on the propriety of the 'present
meeting, and -paying some compliments to the
Members for the Borough, he concluded bymov-
log the first seven Resolutions, 'which went to
congratulate her Majesty, to_thank her friends
and supporters, and to petition the Mouse. of
Commons not to give their support to Ministers..
JottN,EetacE,•Esq. most cordially: seconded
. the Resolutions, which were then Put anld car-
ried with acclamations, as was also an Address
to her Alajesty.
On the motion of thanks to Alderman WOOD
being carried, the -Alderman rose to address the
Meeting. He observed that he had hitherto
considered it right to absent himself frrn public
meetings; he had, ho wever, come thereon the pre-
sent occasion, as he had property in the I3'orough,
and was likewise a freeholder. lie would avoid
entering into any detail, as they might have im-
portant business to attend to. lie was in posses-
sion of facts of great importauce, which perhaps
might not, and ought not to be made public, but
it depended on her Majesty's Law Advisers
whether this should be the case or not. He_ was
in possession of documents to prove that bribery,
to a great extent had been carried on. The con-
spiracy had been .commenced in England, and he
was afraid the money came from vote pockets of the
people_.; for in the coffee-houses abroad persons
were found ta, slander the Queen, some of whom
had 20Q./. per annum, and had been honoured'
with titles., . Possessing these facts, and, docu-
ments with the strong declaration of her Ma-
jesty, drat nothing should prevent her coming to
England to assert her innocence ; with these do-
cuments in his possession, if he had not, done
what he had done, be would have beett unyrorthy
of the name of an Englishman. He' could de-
clare before God and his country, that he had
no political bias, or any other feeling, except a
wish to secure the esteem of his feltOw country-
men.
The Thanks of the' Meetino-r, were then voted
to Lady. Ann Hamilton, on whose Conduct and
character Mr. Alderman Wood passed a high

eulogium.
CLIARLES CALvErrr, Esq. M.P. said, he had to
apologise. for not attending the last meeting, in
consequence 9f being a considerable distance in
the country. The worthy Member then anim-
adverted on the subject rately before the House
of Lords, and agreed with the Resolutions, in
thinking that her Majesty was innocent; for, dur-
ing a period of three years, they had not been
able to prove one act of adultery. He thought,
that instead of there being a minority against the
Bill, there was a great majority against it. Mr.
Calvert then entered into a scrutiny of the divi-
sion, and concluded by observing, that he should
have another opportunity of addressing them.
Mr. Alderman Woof) then 'withdrew, as he
had to attend a Committee for managing the pro-
cession of her Majesty to St. Paul's.
Sir ROBERT WILSON, in rising to address the
meeting, 'expressed his satisfaction in attending
one which was §o much in unison with his own
feelings. They had heard the statements of Mr.
Moulden•and Alderman Wood, and he was sure
every person was convinced of the innocence of
the.- Queen. Her Majesty's Counsel, as, men of
honour, were firmly of opinion that she was inno-
cent. He next adverted to the transaction at
St. Omer's, 'and observed, that her Majesty had
refused to accept any residence which would add
to the burthen of the people, whereas Royal mu-
nificence had provided every suitable accommo-
dation for every branch of the Royal Family.
The Petition to the House of Commons was
then read, and agreed to.
Mr. ELLICE mov'end that it be signed by 24 per-
sons,and be presented by the two Members.
• Mr. CALvEtur was sorry to differ frour:the-last
speaker; but if the Petition was sigued'by only
24 Persons, it would be received onlyn as the- e-
tition of that number. The greater thcv number
of signatures was, so much Would be the weight
of the Petition. ,
Sir IL WILSON agreed with his worthy Col-
league respecting the number of signatures. He
then expat?ated on the necessity of removing- the
presentMini,sters, and also of having Parliamen-
tary Reform.
It was then agreed, that the Petition should
he signed by the Inhabitant Householders.
Thanks were voted to the High Bailiff, Mr. Cal-
vert, and sir R. Wilson, who severalty retUrned
thanks ; after which, the meeting was dissolved.

BETIINAL-GREtN MEETlNG.—Yesterday 4 Ge-
neral Vestry Meeting of the Inhabitants of the
Parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, was held
in the large room of the Workhouse, for the
purpose of considering of the propriety of an Ad-
dress of Congratulation to her Majesty on the
abandonment of thesproceedings against her, and
on the glorious triumph of her cause over perse-
cution and perjury. Mr. GREgNWOOD, the Head

It has been erroneously reported that a Speech
by Conititission NI ill take • place in Parliament
this day, and has been so stated itrsome of the
Public Prints, but we can assure our Readers
that no such Speech will take place, and if any
thing important of interesting shall occur in the
Proceedings, we shall communicate it in a Second

Edition.
The determination of HER MAJESTY to Visit
St. Paul's has excited much uneasiness in those of
her friends who act from the impulse of honest
feelings, however it may gratify others who sup-
port her cause from Party spirit. It will cer-
tainly excite great agitation in the Metropolis,
be very injurious to tradesmen, and a great inter-
ruption of industry. There is really no occasion
for this public exhibition : Devotion is meek,
humble, and unobtrusive. We wish that HER
MAJESTY would extricate herself from her
46 Wooden Oracle," and consult that understand-
ing which is ascribed to .her, though she has suf-
fered feelings of resentment to triumph over it.
She has many friends in the Country, who act
from sincere conviction of her innocence ; but
she will certainty rebate their ardour in her cause
if slid appears to mix an ostentatious homage to
the Divine Being with any considerations of
Party. Let her every Sabbath day visit her
Parish ChUrch at Hammersmith, and in so doing
she will set a good example to the vicinity, and
excite no disturbance in the Country. We hope,
however, to hear that the Congregation in that
place will not rise on her entrance into the
Church, as they did before, as in such a place
nothing but the proper forms of religious worship
should be observed; and they ought to reflect
that the Supreme Being is no Respecter of Per-
sons, but regards their dispositions and motives,
not their rank and station, which are nothing in
his sight. It is some satisfaction to us, however,
to learn, that no addition will be made to the
Service ; that no Sermon will take place on the
occasion, nor any Hymn be performed, that all
may pass in the usual forms, and peace and order
be the sooner restored to the Metropolis. We
understand, of course, that her MAJ EST Y'S name
will not' be introduced in the Liturgy on this oc-
casion, whatever may hereafter be determined by
the proper Authorities.

We received this morning the niris Papers of
Monday last. The following are extracts::—

The (Dublin) Correspondent, which takes the
lead in loyalty, good sense, and information in
the sister Metropolis, has denominated all the
London Newspapers hi favour of THE QUEEN,
the " Berganiese Journals." It is certain that
these Journals have attempted to hold him far
above his condition in point of descent and
attainments, though it is well known that he
really cannot write.
