A Correspondent writes as follows :—The en-
suing days, Tuesday and Wednesday, promise
much fine sport at the Beacon-hill Course'Meet-

Anticipation was never more on the stretch. than

pected, in consequence, to 'exceed 'any former

.that her Majesty Queen CAAOLIN.E. is 'expected
on a visit this Christmas at her Noble Advocate's,

industrious circulation of blasphemous and sedi-

of tlte kingdom, by which these infamous writers
are endeavouring to corrupt the morals of-the
Country, and availing themselves of the inflam-
mable circumstances in the times to ex-
asperate the populace into rebelliOnS. These

small pamphlets_by travelling Venders, -piing front

On Tuesday evening an..over-driven Ox ran,
in a state of madness, along Shoreditch, when a
'carter (we. understand in the employment of Mr.
Simmons, Tottenham-court-road) .was driving his
horse and cart along the road. The infuriated
ox attacked the horse with his horns, and gored
him so dreadfully that the poor animal died
`instantly.

tween five and six o'clock, as J. M'G regot, shop-
man to a 'baker in 'Chain-alley, Bermondsey-

all discussion in the House of Commons on the SubjeCt of the.
Queen's situation, and in. proroguing Parliament at a Moment
when the necessities of the State most demanded its protect-
ing interposition, is now sufficiently obvions. The sense of.
the country was then warmly and deeidedly opposed to them,
the public eye was not diverted from the glaring injustice of
their proceeedings by any extraneous circumstances, and the
nrolecution was vet so recent, that its nature and character
were tool fully anil forcibly felt not to render it dangerous fur
Oa. Ministers to suffer the House of Commons to form an
opinion 'neon the etinduet of those who framed and promoted
the measure. The Ministers, therefore, stooped in the first'
'instance to the ,most disingenuous means to prev,ent discus-
sion, and they'have since put into motion the whole machi-
nery of the Governmen't to excite a ridiculous alarm in the
public mind, solely for the purpose of discrediting the Qtreest'a
cause, as if the protection of her Majeity were synonitneus
with disloyalty to the person of the Sovereign, for distracting
the public mind, and dis ipiting the indignation_that had
been so recently conceived at the means adopted to persecute

a”ett,,d in the Treasnry Priors, and some of those brilliant
.
efi.nsions facetiously denominataal " loyal addresses and de-
clarations," that there has 'been one appearance to justify
their charges against the loyalty and fidelity of the great body

Our Radical Opponent complains.of "the freqttency of the
Loyal'Addresses"---4le will therefore learn with great vexa-
tion that an Adeiress of this kind seas yesterday presented to
his Majesty from the University of Oxford, aiid that the Hum-
tiers of Noblemen anti Gentlemen 'connected with that [Mi..
versity who attended- its presentation wereimnsually great
fur such a season of the year. Wt have also to notice the Loy-41
Address- of Pseadim,.,,, Which Will be found in another column,
and which has received the signature of a very considerable
number of he meat respectable Inhabitants Of that town. The
Reading Aelor s., like Many Which have preceded it;expresses
cvjust abliOrre nee of "the increasing audacity of a most Malig-
nant, irreligious, and Seditious' Press, which dues not scruple to
aaerihe corruptness of motive and wiCketiness of design to'all
who are exalted in the S,ate"—As this is a picture which our
oppoteent'may perhaps reasonably think intended to represent
himself, we can only IMpe that his own columns will 'not be
laaded with it in the shape of an advertisement. He has suf-
fered too much in that way already ; and it would he but con-
sideratein " the LoyaliSts of 1926" to spare him any farther
vexation of the saute kind. It is somewhat amusing to ob-
serve how many hopeless argumentg he Advances to persuade
his readers that smelt loyal Addressei as are now pouring in from
all quarters-to the King are ref) biameahle; there is " no-
thing in them bit insuit to many of our fellow subjects. and
decided impertinence towards the King 1:!'! Great pity it is,
to be sure, that. his Majesty should persist in viewing them in
-differ'ent a MIL No doubt, If he could but de-
rive - illumination from the brilliant pages of The nues,
tie woold. learn that the only Address of true loyalty
which has been presented to hint was that of the, Com-
mon Coiincil of L00d,,0 Why," says he, ('
the. 'King be eiddrt,scd by those whose loyalty has never been
called in question ?" Precisely because their loyalty has nut
-been called in question ; because the King, when he is daily
insulted and vilified bt those whose loyalty ha.f been called •in
question, ought at least to have the consolation of perceiving,
that there is'another large:numerous, and respectable por-
tion Of his inhjvcts whose principles are tinsliaLen.—" Yet we
have ahother ground of complaint against them," says he—
" why are they exclu.iice ?"---The short answeris, that they
are not so. Nobody is tireelni!ed from calling himself a
Loyalist ; only people will soon see that there is avast differ-
eoce between one Mot of loyalty and another. In the
very Paper which contains this complaint we see a" Loyal
Address" of the Inhabitants of Peterborough ; but in looping
through it we find that this new and peculiar species of
.Loy-
alty toward the King is only a cloak for attacking the King's
Ministers. Now, -Undoubtedly the Inhabitants of Peterbo-
rough, With Lord Milton as tlseir Chairman, are at perfect
liberty to call their Address a loyal one, but what is its
loyrity compared with that of the Address of the. Ward
