SPORTING-(RECEIVED THIS DAY)

TATTERSALL'S.—May 10.
It seems that amongst the preient favourites for the
Derby and Oaks there is a regular coughing lot : Donna
Clot a coughs ; Espagnolle coughs ; and Toso coughs :
the first-named, for this reason, becomes third, instead of
fir,,t favourite ; while Espagnolle, however he may be af-
fected by the cough, does not suffer in the odds. It will
be well if he does not give a few of them the cough be-
fore this day three weeks. Glenartuey continues on the
advance ; Defence declines a little ; Turcoman appears to
be going; and Tatler is gone. The betting, yesterday,
(which was brisk on the Oaks), does not afford any thing,
else to comment on.

PUBLIC MEETING IN THE TOWN-HALL,

MAr 9, 1827.

THOM THE THIRD EDITION OF TIIE LIVERPOOL COURIER.
Pursuant to public notice, a Meeting of the inha-
bitants of Liverpool was held in the Town Hall,
for the purpose of considering the propriety or pre-
senting an Address to his Majesty on the formation
of the new Ministry. We never, on 'my previous
public occasion, saw a more respectable Meeting than
the present convened in the Court-room.
The MAYOR opened the business of the day by
stating the object for which the Meeting had been
convened.
Mr. Topham then read the requisition, which was
numerously and respectably signed.
Mr. H. BOOTH then rose to propose a resolution,
that an address of congratulation be presented to his
Majesty on the recent changes which had taken place
in the Government.
Mr. W. SMITH seconded the motion.
The resolution was then put from the Chair, and
carried unanimously.
Mr. GLADSTONE rose to move the address, which
was read by Mr. Topham. Mr. Gladstone then
proceeded, at considerable length, to state his reasons
for supporting the address just read to the meeting.
He alluded to the foreign, domestic, and commercial
policy on which Mr. Canning had acted since he had
been in office; a policy which, with some exceptions
as to the commercial part, had received the approba-
tion of the country generally. He then stated his
sentiments on the Roman Catholic question, and
contended that nothing but the timely concession of
the just claims of the Catholics could prevent Ireland
from being deluged with blood.
The Rev. W. SHEPHERD seconded the address
in a long speech, which was distinguished by the
Rev. Gentleman's characteristic wit and humour.—
To his great satisfaction, he bad seen the firm of
Lord Eldon and Co. in the Gazette, and he for (,ne
would never sign their certificate. fie tvmarked on
the avidity with which the new Opposition had
-sized on the Catholic Question. Lord Eldo❑ had
declared, that he himself would bring that qu4stion
o a decision. " Yes," as Acres says in the play, " de-
:ision is the word," but he used it, not in th Court
)f Chancery, but in the House of Lords. For his
part, he (Mr. Shepherd) wonderec that that word,
like Macbeth's " amen," did not " sticl- in his
throat." Mr. Shepherd ridiculed the idea, that the
promotion of Mr. Canning to the Premier Ship could
endanger the Established Church, connected as the*.'
Church was with the State, from which received
and to which it gave support. So muk h for that
subject, said Mr. Shepherd; in saying this he evinced
more loyalty than those who endeavoured to rouse
hostility in the public mind to the new .Ministry by
cries of the peril of the Church.
Mr. C. MORRALL objected to the address. He
then moved that the meeting do adjourn for six
months.

A Gentleman, whose name we r ould not learn,
seconded the amendment.
Mr. RUSHTON replied, in a short speech, to Mr.
Morrell.
Mr. TINLEY supported the amendment.
Colonel WlLLlksts declared, that no man had op-
posed Mr. Canning more than he had done. He
never could forget his continued enmity to Parlia-
mentary Reform ; nor could he forgive his recent
declaration that he would oppose the repeal of the
Corporation and Test Acts. But Mr. Canning had
also his good qualities, and he had done one or two
acts which had excited his (Colonel Williams's)
approbation. He alluded particularly to his declara-
tion in Parliament, that he would rouse Europe in
support of free institutions • a declaration which had
discomfited the apostolicals of France. In the case
of the Queen, too, he had gone a good way, but not
so far as he (Colonel Williams) wished him to go.
He liked him, on the whole, much better than Eldon
and the rest of that gang. " Sir," said Col. Wil-
liams, " I am not a factious man !"—(Loud
laughter, which continued for several minutes.)—
" You may laugh when I say, I am no demagogue ;
but I say I am no factious man.—(Langhter.)—l
care nothing for Mr. Canning or Mr. Brougham as
men, but whilst they are employed in doing good I
will support them or any other men—l Would, in
fact, support the devil himself."—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. GLADSTONE defended his consistency in an-
swer to Mr. Morrall.
Mr. W. W. Cunniz supported the address at some
length.
The amendment was then put from the chair.—
Three or four hands only were held up for it. The
address was then put, and carried by acclamation.
Mr. ALSTON rose to propose that a dbputation,
consisting of the Mayor, John Bolton, Esq., A.
Heywood, Esq., J. Gladstone, Esq., and J. Birch,
Esq., M.P., be appointed to present the address to
his Majesty.
The motion having been seconded,
Mr. RATHBONE rose to object to Mr. Gladstone
being one of the deputation. That gentleman had
opposed some parts of the commercial policy of Mr.
Huskisson, and he did not, therefore, think'him a fit
person to represent Liverpool on the present occasion.
Mr. RUSHTON seconded the motion, ran over Mr.
Gladstone's lif3, and charged him with being a Whig
in 1806, a Tory in 1812, and neither Whig nor Tory
in 1827. Mr. Rushton ripped up the history of the
letter which, in 1815, Mr. Gladstone had received
from Lord Liverpool on the subject of the property
tax; and charging Mr. Gladstone with having, at a
public meeting held in that year, denied that he had
received a letter, argued that a man who could be
guilty of such an act was not fit to represent Liverpool
on this occasion. The speaker was interrupted,
during his statement, by loud disapprobation.
The mooting of this subject gave rise to a discus-
sion which lasted nearly two hours, and in which
Mr. Venables, Mr. Shepherd, and other gentlemen
participated.
Mr. GLADSTONE being put on his defence, entered
most minutely into the history of the transaction to
which Mr. Rushton had alluded; read the two let-
ters which he had received from Lord Liverpool;
and, by narrating the facts of the case, proved, most
triumphantly, that the charge which had been
brought against him, at the distance of thirteen long
years, was unfounded and calumnious. Mr. Glad-
stone's statement was received with thunders of ap-
plause, mixed with a few hisses from a small part of
the assembly. Having concluded his defence, which
was allowed, on all Lands, to be masterly, he with-
drew from the hall, feeling that it would not be de-
corous if he remained there whilst the decision of
the meeting was taken on the amendment.
Mr. SHEPHERD deprecated the cours,! which Mr.
Rathbone and Mr. Rushton had taken on this subject.
Mr. VENABLES entreated them to withdrgm their
unendment, but they would not.
At length the amendment was put to th 3 vote,
when a few hands were held up for striking Mr.
Gladstone's name from the list of the deputation.
The original motion was then put, and carried by
an immense show of hands. The applause which
followed the carrying of Mr. Gladstone's name as
one of the deputation was vehement and long-con
tinued, and must have been a perfect tritnaph to the
friends of Mr. Gladstone.
Thanks were then voted to the Mayrr, for his
conduct in the Chair, and the Meeting broke up at
four o'clock, having continued four hours.

SPORTING HOAX.—A few days since, two
sporting landlords, not a hundred miles from
Tewkesbury, having procured a buck, offered it
to be hunted by the Whitfield harriers,—
perhaps with the ulterior view of a dinner or two
of hunted venison,—and a large field assembled
on Friday morning last to enjoy the sport ; when
10 ! on entering the pen, it was discovered that
some mischievous wight had, in the preceding
night, taken away the buck, and substituted an
animal not quite so fleet, and with longer ears,
yclept a donkey. This discovery annoyed the
hunters not a little, one of whom had come pre-
pared with oil of anniseed to rub the animal's
feet for stronger scent ! Worcester Journal.
