• TnE QuEEN.----Vesterday evening a meeting
of the inhabitants was held in the Church of St.
Leorord, Shoreditth, 'for the .purpose-of consi-
t'4ering: the propriety: of addressing her MAJEsTV.
:A requisition had been.presented to the Church-
. -.viArdens, signed by. a great.number, of the inha-
bitant householders, and they,instantly agreed to
all the. 'vestry. The, chair; was taken at
o'nleck, by Messrs. Jennings and Pearce, t!n
Churchwardens; afterwhich the Requisition
read by the Yestry Clerk.
Air. JENNINGS then =addr=essed the MeetimT,
_expressing his earnest have that every one would
-obtain'a fair and candid hearing. •
Mr. Suc;G then :moved . the •Atesolutions-fleß
began by expressing his satisfaction. at so many
present. Tine cause was one of, deep im-
,
Fortance, as involving the riOtts and liberties of
ev-erly Englishman. The object of 'persecution was
the Queen, whose life had been one series 'of suf-
feiing :since she was married. The charges.
-.l4ainst her 'in 1806 were found to be malignant'
and. unjust; and now-she was to undergo another
f;.ry_trial- on evidence thrust into a Green Bag.
Degrading indeed was the whole transaction, not.
4olyito the persons who were more'jrnmediately
conceyned in it, but to the character of the Bri-
ti,:h Nation. To rally round her. was then the
duty:of every friend of moral feeling and public
,vilJvte,.l,, The poorest subject had deep interest in
the result of the present discussion, for he'also
might be brought into danger. Convinced,
therefore, that in,a question of this nature no dif-
ference of opinion could possibly exist, he shoUld
now move a series of Resolutions. The Resolu-
tions ‘rere :then, read, and were strongly against
the present, proceedina'sl against the Queen, and
the oppression she had suffered. ',lrhey.also cen-
sured the withdrawing of her Majesty's name
out of .the Liturgy. . • '
Mr. Princx seconded the Resolutions. Many.
important meetings of the inhabitants liad been
held in that place: But_ no meeting was equal
to the present, whether it W-as considered in 'a
national or personal point of view. They were
now to consider the injuries heaped upon, and the
insults offered to her Majesty, who was one of
the best of women, and in whose fate were M-
I olvediall the hopes and happiness of the public.
They Were met to address her on her return from
xile, and thus to show to the world that they
were not afraid to be found on the side Of justice,
and of persecuted worth. By their acts Minis-
ters had shackled the public pressto.a great ex-
tent 'Not satisfied with this, they were about
to crown their deeds by an unparalleled stretch
of despotic: power. They were about to deprive
England of her Queen, and to bring that indivi-

dual' with diSgraCe to the grave. Heaven, he
I', hoped, trould frustrate their designs, and be .her
yrot:ector.
Mr. BLACKBURN said, he trusted'everY-parish
in the kingdom would unite h the same cause,
and that if this were 'not effectual, that petitions
should -be presented from every public body, and
every family.
A long conversationAhen took place as to the
wording of the Resolutions, in which Messrs.
Ashurst, Bridgman, Pearce, &c. participated,
r which they were severally put and unani-
mously carried, as was also an Address to .her
Majesty, and thanks to Mr. Alderman Wood.
A Deputation was directed to wait on her .Ma-
jc,sty to -know when she would be graciously
pleaSed to receive the Address. After thanks
to the Churchwardens, &c. the Vestry was dis-
solved.

• Splin-fields, St. George's in the East. before
Mr. LiNwIN-, Coroner, on the body of Miss Ann
" Cook, aged 27 years, who put a period to her

a very amiable and industrious young woman :

school, and was highly esteemed by all
who knew her. She was of very sober habits,
but subject to momentary fits of mental derange-
ment. Monday last she sat in her room, at her
usual vocation, and suddenly stood up and left
the room, saying, she had business out of doors.
A considerable tinie having elapsed, and she not
returning,, her pupils became alarmed, dreading
that any evil might befal her ; one of them ,vho
happened to rove carelessly into the yard, looked
in at an aperture in the privy
,door, which, was
• made fast on the inside, and discovered the de-
ceased hanging by a handkerchief from the veil-
' ing 'of the privy. An alarm being given, the
. door was burst open, and the deceased, who was
then quite black in the face, and apparently life-
less, was instantly cut down, and a surgeon sent
for, who used every means-in his power-to restore
animation, but all without effect, as the vital
• splirk had fled. Verdict—lnsanit.y:
