I ADDRESS ON CONDOLENCE AND CONGRATULATION I'o HIS

MAJESTY.
A Court of Common Council was yesterday nu ruing held by di-
rection of the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of moving an Address to
his Majesty on the subject of the lamented death of our late gra-
cious Sovereign. The words in the sumnionsts were. •for the
purpose of expressing their sense of the melancholy ( vent of the
demise of his late Majesty George the Fourth."
The Court, which was very fully attended by members, at:tl
crowded before the bar, met at eleven o'clock, and proceeded at once
to the subject.
The LORD MAYOR opened the business.—After which.
Mr. OLDHAM addressed the Court. 1 shall take the libeny of
alluding, in very brief terms, to the chief points which I conteriplate
proposing in the address to be moved for the adoption of the Court.
Those points merely advert to condolence with his Majesty on the
demise of the late King, and congratulation on his own accession to
the throne of these realms. It is now niveteen years since his law
Majesty commenced his public life—a period, at the commence:neat
of which the whole Peninsula was agitated with war.ll'erill renicniver
the glorious termination which was put to that ear under the at:spites
of the late King, and we all know the honour which the In ilk at
career of the British arms reflected upon him. When the successful
issue was put to the contest, we remember the honour w lae:i his
late majesty conferred upon the citizens of London, by visiting
them in that Ilall, accompanied by the Emperor of Russia and die
King of Prussia, who, at the time, were among the illustrious guests
of the country. The delight with which 1w was received. and the
loyal manifestatations which were made by the: • Assn he honoured,
drew from him, on that occasion, the strongest t s minions of esteem
and affection towards the citizens of London.--t: erd and continued
cheering) We remember with what grace and .14: I( y!! • received
the congratulations of those by whom he was surr-• .out how
proud the feeling was with which his conde e i
garded. Soon after that occasion it will be recollee:. ca. . . I• 1
out again upon the escape of Bonaparte from Elba. r.. ' .he
of Waterloo followed and crowned the distinguished s
the British arms. For the last fifteen years tranquillity b• ' re•;:n.d.
hi this country, and no one ever entertained a more just set se 01
value of peace, or had a mere lively regard for the encouragenive of
the Arts, and the improvements ot' the metropolis, than our kg..? 'a.
mented King.--(Loud cries of hear, hear.)--1 shall now advert to
the other point contemplated in the Address—the congratulation of
this Court to his present Majesty Ilion his accession to the Throne._
(Cries of hear.) In performing this part of my task, I speak of an
illustrious person who has long distinguished himself in the naval
service of the country, and has assiduously protected that imponaat
branch of the warlike resources of the country, a branch on
which so much depends, and to which the citizens of London na-
turally look with so much respect and affection. Belonging as
we do to the city of London, we are in an especial manner in.
debted to his Majesty, for the urbanity which he has invariably
displayed, and for the munificent patronage which he has ex-
tended towards our charitable institutions and national schools—
h(cheers). From all .that we have had an opportunity of seeing,
!we could not but form a high opinion of the efficacy with which
his Majesty will support the constitution of the country_
(cheers). There is but one subject more on which I shall address
the Court. While the country is congratulating itself on the acces.
sion of such a King, it is matter of rejoicing also that his Majesty is
allied to so amiable a Queen. It will give the people of England
the greatest happiness to observe such evidences of conjugal affec-
tion as exist between his Majesty and his Queen. I have thus
touched upon the principle of the address generally, and I trust
that upon such an occasion there will exist no difference of opinion
(loud cheers.) Mr. Oldham then moved that a loyal and dutiful
address be presented to his Majesty on the demise of his late 31a-
jesty, King George IV. of blessed memory, and on the occasion of
the succession of the present King.
Mr. Deputy DAM seconded the motion.
Much confusion afterwards took place in consequence of sonic
opposition on the part of Mr. Richardson, but ultimately Mr. t ild-
ham's proposition was unanimously agreed to, and a Committee
was appointed to prepare a draft of the proposed Address. The
Court then broke up.
