The Meeting yestereay at the Crown and An-
chor was not indeed a scene of confusion and com-
motion, because the company in general sympa-
thized in political principles with each other, and
had the same mischievous purposes in view. But
though not a Meeting of turbulence and riot, on
this account, yet it was one in the highest degree
disgraceful to the City of Westminster. When
we find -that the chief persons at the Meeting in
question were men whom it would be compli-
menting to say that Reform is their object, and
who are, in fact, notorious for political doctrines
very nearly allied to sedition and treason, what can
we think of the noble and opulent Inhabitants of
that City, who keep aloof at an awful asra of the
Constitution, when the people at large are on the
eve of regaining that opportunity which enables
them to appoint new Representatives for an es-
sential branch of the Legislature ? May they tint
fairly be accused of indifference towards their

Country and its glorious Constitution ? 'Tl►e

time was when the Houses of NORTHUMBERLAND,
STAFFORD, and ,gther Noble Families were anxious

to have Representatives of Westminster among
their immediate Relatives, and were proud of suc-
ceeding. The great contest between Lord
TRENTHAM and Sir GEORGE VANDEPUT is still re-
collected, and the latter injured a princely fortune
in the struggle. We are far from being inclined
to say any thing, in the slightest degree, dispa-
raging of the traditt part of the community, in a
Country which has chitfly raised itself to the
height of national power, grandeur, and dignity,
by its Commerce, but, with few exceptions, Shop-
keepers are little qualified to assist in LE-
GISLATION, and had much better adhere to

their honest callings, than interfere in the
choice of prover Representatives in Parlia-
ment, except by giving their votes conscien-

iously to those who they conceive, according to

the best of their judgment, will have the interest
of the Country really at heart. Is it to be en-
dured, that in one of the greatest Cities on Earth
low, fictions, Demagogues, whose habits in life
