rights as Queen Consort. He then mad, an appeal
to the Meeting on the persecution to which her
Majesty bad been subjected, and vindcated her
conduct and that of her friends—tbiended the
naval and military establishments of the coun-
try, and expressed a conviction that tle soldiers
would never act unconstitutionally agzinst their
countrymen. Every individual, from )ne end of
the world to the other, ought to stand forward
in defence of the principles which that Meeting
had been called to support. He conficently
au-
ticipated.success, and hoped that in a few months
they should meet again to congratulate each
other on tile triumph of public feeling over
power, violence, and injustice.
Mr. C. PEARsoN began to address the Meeting,
when

Mr. HUME again ascended the table, to second the Reso-
lution which had not been seconded by the preceding Speaker..
Mr. C. PEARSON argued against the supposition that the
House of Lords would act with independence front the
manner in which the distinctions of the Peerage were con-
ferred. -He called on the Meeting to look at-the conduct of
Lord Exmouth. AS Sir Edward Pellew he hail not scrupled
to look a cannon in the mouth;—but lately lie could not
bear to be looked in the lace by a Counsel. The old Pro-
verb taught, that " a cat may look at a King. but a man
may, not look at ;5 fool ;" and he supposed the Noble Lord
felt the justice of this saying., when he would not allow Mr.
Brougham to look hint in the face. ..He had heard a great
many remarks thrown out derogatory from the honour of
that profession of which he was a Member; but it should
be remembered that there were sonic who were as great
ornaments to so•ziety as ever lived in the world, who belonged
to that profession. All Lawyers he assured them were not
like Mr. Cooke. • In looking round the meeting he was then
addressing, he had ocular demonstration of this fact in the
persons of three individuals who were an honour to the
profession of the Law; and as they belonged to the same
Inn of •Court as that of which Mr. Cooke was one of the
Benefices, he hoped they would shortly call a meeting of
the Members of that Inn to remove him from. the •situ-
alion which he held in it. Be thought Mr. Whitbread, in
atestvetiog the lettao. of Mr. Cunningham, •might have taken
an opportunity of giving that clergyman the dressing he so well ,
deserved. He then anituadvoted on various parts of Mr. Con-
itiogham's letter, and coMplained of the petty jealousies that
would base prevented hint (Mr. Pearson) from speaking that
day. One said," you had better not speak ; " another, •' you
are not down on the list." He severely deprecated this fool-
ish, petty display of malice, in a case of this kind, in which
the aid of ail should be accepted. The utmost unanimity
ought to characterize the enemies of oppression on this occa-
sion ; and having said this, he would conclude, and make way
for some of those who were down on the list.
Mr. BARGUER rose to more an Address, but begged to
say that he belonged to a profession which had been much
pointed at of late, on account of the subserviency of some of
its members. He was happy thus publicly to separate himself
front such persons; and declare that he had nothing iq cum-
moo with such men, and no sympathy for the tools of power.
He then proceeded to read the Address, which embodied the
sentiments of the principal speakers.
The CHAIRMAN remarked, it would be; proper to carry
the Resolutions before they said any thing about the Address.
The question was then put on the Resolutions, and they
were unanunutisly csrried.
Mr. %Voider was called upon, but
Mr. P. MOORE mounted the table, and seconded the Ad-
dress. He expressed the warmest Approbation of its lan-
guage, and assured the meeting that his friend, Mr. Whit-
bread, would, with himself, lie always 'catty to come forward
in support of those principles to which they stood committed.
Mr. WOOLER considered Ministers to • hate brought
themselves into such a situation, that they could no nothing
better than fly hoot the helm at which they were incompetent
to preside, and seek for safety in the derisioni the Compas-
sion, and the contempt. of the people.
Mr. THELWALL moved a vote of thanks to Alderman
Wood, for the perfect wisdom manifested iu the advice which-
'he had given to the Queen. What he meant by perfect wis-
dom, was perfect honesty; and as
" An honest man's the noblest work of God," •
be considered Alderman Wood to be a Noble of Heaven's own.
appotabnent.
H.AYDON presented himself, but was met be hisses
and calls of.. Wood, Wood!" He insisted on being °heard.
The CHAIRN AN desired that he might be heard.
Mr. HAVDON then supported the motion. He had only
wished to express his approbation of a man whom he esteem-
ed more than any individual tinier the canopy of Heaven,
and he was Son's' that in an English assembly, any attempt
should have been made to bear an Englishman down.
Mr. Alderman WOOD on entering the room had determin-
ed nut to say one word, and the kindness of the-Meeting had
now also dept iced him of speech. He repeated 'his former •
statement, that if others had been in possession of the
facts that had collie to his knowledge respecting the plot
formed against her Majesty, they would have acted as he
had done. He declared he was only anxious to act the
part of an hottest man, and was more ambitious of that
title than of any other that could be conferred. Wtth the
knowledge of her Majesty's defence which he had, he took
upon himself to say, that it would burst like thonder on
her astonished enemies. He had the greatest satisfaction in
receiving the information be had obtained from some of our
friends which arrived yesterday, and from letters which had
reached him from a branch of his family who had gone out as.
interpreter. The intelligence he had received was such that
might be depended upon, as they were written as a son might
be expected to write to his fat lwr, and it was most satisfactoty
in every respect. He had no doubt that her Majesty would
rise in a manner that would bring degradation and infamy.
down on all het enemies.
Sir GERARD NOEL moved that the thanks of the Meeting
should be Kites to the Chairman. He spoke at some length
in explanation of his motives—stated himself to have been
frequently in company with the present King when he was
"'duce of Wales, alien he was connected with the.Whigs,and
rather more favourable to liberty than lie was at preseot,—
He, however, in opposing the Bill of Pains and Penalties,
would observe no moderation whatever. Having said so
much, he flattered himself that the Meeting would be very
happy if he got off the tohle..--7(Applause.) . .
Mr. SKELTON seconded the motion, which was. carried.
Mr. HOBHOUSE returned thanks ; and after a few
words in explanation from Mr. Pearson and Dr. Gilchrist, the
Meeting was dissolved. .
