Secondly, What would you think of the Lady if she made
the same Footman ride with her alone in a close cart iage ?
Thirdly—What world yottinfer if the Lady &bra's gr-
-1
trired to have the sane Footman sleep in a room so ne to
her's, that she could go to his room, or he could go to lives
at any time of the night ?
Fourthly—What would you think of the conduct, discre-
tion, and memory of the same Lady if she acted thus, at her
time of life, after haring been reproved for undoubted levity
of conduct by a kind, considerate, and benevolent father-in-

law and uncle ?
Should you insert the above queries you may
probably hear from me again.

Q. H. F.

MR. EDITOR—The Morning Chronicle for some
time past, seems determined to solve the problem
that puzzled ARCIIIMILDES, and to move the world
if it can only find a lever and a fulcrum! The lever
it thinks to have fouud in the stick of her Ma-
jesty's parasol, but the fulcrum, I trust, will slip
rom under it, as it has done in the attempt even

0 move Lillie Ireland. The " Emerald 'sic"

had been for some time past so tranquil that
even the Judges on Circuit nottced it as a happy
symptom—but very recently, some busy heads
in Belfast must needs have a meeting ; at which
The Chronicle most eagerly grasped, as a sinking
man will at a bullrwh, and informed its Lon-
don readers, that SEVENTY of the principal In-
habitants of that town applied to the Sovereign
to can a Meeting to " consider of the pro-
priety of congratulating Iler Majesty on her
arrival iu England, and to express their feelings
on the efforts lately made to degrade Her
Majesty."—The Chronicle tells us •also, that
the Soveteign refused, " because congratulation
would he imprudent, and to express a feeling upon
the efforts made to degrade her would be highly
unconstitutional." 'Now, Sir, it would have been
but fair in the Chronicle to have given us these
words as they really were in the otliciatauswer,
'with marks of quotation from the requisition, and
not as the Sovereign's own words ; but it would
have been even fairer if the Chronicle had given
us another motive that was assigned for refusal,
when the Sovereign said " I cannot, in justice
to the town of Belfast, avoid observing, that the
requisition,'however numerous the signatures to
• it may appear, does not (with great deference to
them) convey the sentiments of that portion of
the Inhabitants, always to be regarded by me,
upon matters of importance to the community."
So much then for SEVENTY of the principal In-
habitants ! But the fact is, that more than half
of the signers were in the humblest malks of in-
dustry ; that there was not a single name of the
ancient gentry of the town ; and that although
a meeting, as the Chronicle threatened, was held,
yet there was scarcely an individual there of
wealth, or eVCII of respectability ; and with re-
spect to the few decent people who lent
their names to the requisition, the greater part
were so ashamed of the business as not to
attend. Belfast contains near thirty thousand
people ; yet not an apartment or respectable
place of meetit, could be procured, and the
Inhabitants of that large, commercial, and highly
literary town, met iii an apartment of fifteen ftet
bjj eleven, in a dirty narrow lane, from whence
they marched out of town to a small Meeting
House belonging to the fag end of the Dissen-
ters from the Presbyterian Church, which they
call the Mountain people—but the Mothrtain,
though it laboured under the ohstetrick art of
two orators, the only two upon the occasion,.a
tanner, and the Catholic Editor of a revolution-
ary Newspaper, brought forth nothing b-it an
abortion, for which it seems the Flcworti; Baronet,
Westminster's Greek, and the BrantlNbupith Al-
derman, are to stand sponsors !
But this, we are told, is to'be an Ar4dress from

attended only
by people from the environs—and is expected to
be the forerunner of other addresses from various

parts of that portion of the Empire ! Pat,
however, is too busy keeping himself quiet, and
does not seem inclined to give even a potatoe fon
a " Bergamo Pair," nor to feed upon Italian mac-
aroni like the MORNING CHRONICLE.
