that if that Csentliman-had e. tome' clew) into the
views of the Mover, he would bare dt.coveimi no
difference in the real sentiments cony yed in the Ad-
dress and those which he had itimsen espressed~.
Even if the conduct of her "Majesty had been.
ever so blameable, still, never was thei e a woman,
under the canopy of ilea vie, more deserving of
compassion. . Every attempt had been made to tra-
duce her character; and that was the most effectual
of all ways to make any human being careless of
their conduct. This was the very proper time for
congratulation. Could they shut their eyes to the
persecutions whjch that Illustrious Female had un-
dergone? And did they suppose that by paying her
studied neglect, who was not only the consort of
our Sovereign, but otherwise nearly allied. to him by
blood, they should act agreeably to his feelings ? It
was impossible; it must give.that Royal Personage
the greatest satisfaction to see her Majiesty's innocence
clearly proved. Let them look at the degraded
si-
tuation of their Queen. By erasing her name from
the Liturgy. she bad hiss, as it were, shut out of the
pale of the Church. But the greatest degradation of
all, was the proposition .which offered her money—
money to be -takes from. the pockets of a. suffering
people, to be spent in a foreign country, and to one,
who, if we believe the insinuations of Cie very men
who made this infamous proposition, was wholly un-
deserving of support! Ought they not to admire her
conduct in contemning these base proposals, and
throwing herself at once boldly and nobly upon the
justice of the country, protesting against secret tri-
bunals, and demanding open trial ? The People were
sick enough of Green Bag Plots .I—(A laugh)--and he
believed they would never again be satisfied with
anything in that shape. It was their duty to go up
to her Majesty, and tell her, .that it was their sincere
wish to see her well out of the charges by which her
character had been aspersed. 'What heart (said the
worthy Alderman) can suppress its feelings of indig-
nation on contemplating this uaworthy treatment of
of a Queen and a woman-
- o Woman!
Byrn to temper man—we're brutes without them!"
And brutes they .would be, if the occasion before
them did not stimulate every genetous feeling into
activity—(Hear, Hear, Hear.)—lle tru,te'd the Ad-
dress would be carried, and that too in such
ner as to convince her Majesty that it was not a cold
and formal Address, but one springing from the heart
in all the warmth and ardour of loyal affection. • _ -
Mr. T; N. WILLIAMS had every wish to agree with
the Address of Condolence, but not with that 'of
Congratulation.
Mr. CLARKE could.have wished that the prterio. ns
Se'on had not been moved, and that the &meth-
ns-tmight have been postponed for a fine -days
Mr. PEARSON supported the Address at consider-
able length, and highlreulogjaed the patrietie esti-
tions of Mr. Alderman Wood. - - -
Mr. Dixon spoke in favour of delay, and ittged"
the example which had been set by Parliament
' Mr. OLDHAM had come to the Court with an in-
tention to vote for the previous question, but he had
been open to conviction, and preferred the motion of
Mr. Browne to the other. He strongly trusted .that -
the charges against her would be found to be merely
a scandalous plot. He deplored the circumstanceof
her Majesty leaving the country at all, and he wee
of opinion that the fatal step had been recommended
to her by some of his Majesty's Ministers.
Sir C. Herman expressed his apprehension that,
from the tone and temper in which this.quesrion had
been discussed, the proposed Address, if carried,
would not be very well received, either by her ha*.
jest' y herself, or by any of the real friends of her Il-
lustrious Family—(General cries VlLzar, hear). The
Honourable Alderman said, that he regrettedmuch
to find the Court so little disposed to attend to the
observations of any Member of the Board of Alder-
men—(Hear, hear, hear)--he meant, of such Mem-
bers as were not, generally, advocates for the views
of the Commons—(Hear, hear, and laughter). He
begged the Court to consider whether this Address
were likely to do good or harm. His fear was, that
it-would prejudice the cause of the Queen—(Cries of
"No, so, no!").—He appealed to the recollection of
those who heard him, whether the Queen had not
always spoken with the utmost respect of that dis-
tinguished Person who ruled over us all, and yet ob.
nervations bad been made in the course of this di:-
Paulen, which' implied a wish to set up the Queen
against his Majesty-4Losid,cries of." No, no, no 1"). •
Ae maintained, that highly disrespectful and inde-
coinus language had been. uied, with regard to the
Sacred Person to whom hi
Mr. Alderman WAltlialAX had heard with surprise
the language of the worthy Alderman.. If the charge
be had made against the Court were true, it was a
severe reflection upon" thi*Lord Mayor for having
permitted such languagelo be used.
The Loan Melton...4f any improper expressions
bad been used regrading his Majesty, I would have
kidllled them at the expense of my life; but I sun .not
Aware that anj such exPressiciat escaped from any
Member.
Mr. Alderman Roam registered, saying, that he
really thou 'ht that expressions had been used which
here very derogatory to the character of the Ring-
11A getteaal cry of un2mt, same").—He was &Lai to
4mi that if such expressions -were used, the Court
was not disposed to sanction them. As to the pro.
posed Addressvhe had little doubt that if the Mover
had consulted the Queen's Counsel, he would have
found the impresSion of those learned persons to by
that sucfi a proceeding was more likely to do bairn
than goad. Such was certainly his own impressive,

for the previous question."
Mr. FAVELL observed, that the Hon. Member had
thought proper to move the previous question with-
out stating any reason, which certainly was not the
usual course in that Court, although such a proceed-
ing might not unfrequently have happened in the
Houses of Lords and Commons.
The question being put, the numbers were, for the
previous question,
The. Lord Mayor,s Aldermen, and 18 Cominessers,with

Majority - es '
Mr. BROWNE moved an instruction to the Commit-
tee to be appointed for drawing up the Address, the
object of which was to restrain them from inserting
any passage in that Address expressive of an opinion
with respect to the proposed investigation upon her
Majesty s case.
This proposition was strongly opposed by Mr. Al-
derman WAITHMAN, who contended, that the con-
struction of the Address should be left to the discre-
tion of the Committee, subject to the subsequent cri-
ticism of the Court, but that the Committee ought
not to be fettered in the first instance.
Messrs. BRowNE, Dtiou, and WILLIAMS, con-
tended, on the other side, that the Court should not
be allowed to commit itself upon a case, with the
merits of which they were so imperfectly acquainted.
Alderman HEYGATE argued on the same side,-and
observed; that looking to the agitation of the public
mind, and the dignity of the Monarchy, the interest
of all the parties concerned, and the tranquillity of
the country, he thought it much better that the Court
should abstain at present from any such proceeding
as the Address proposed, and thus follow the exam-
ple of both Houses of Parliament.
The Amendment was negatived, as was a subse-
quent proposition from Mr. &DIXON, to postpone
further proceedings on this subject for ten days.
A Committee was then appointed to draw up the
Address. They retired immediately, and after some
time returned with the Address on which they had
agreed. It was then submitted to. the whole Court'
for approbation, when a clause was proposed to be
added to it, similar in effect to the Amendment pro-
posed by Mr, BRoWNE. A division took place upon
it, and it was negatived by 63 voices to 7. The Ad-
dress wat afterwards agreed to, and the Sheriffs were
directed to wait upon her Majesty, to know when she
would be pleased to receive the Court with the address.
The LORD MATOR said he was placed in an awk-
ward situation. Ile did not approve of the proceed-
ing, and ished to know what be ought.to do?
Mi. WILLIAM GIIIFFITbIS.—" Why, my Lord, you
are to do your duty ; you are to go at the head of
the Court with the Address."
Mr. T. N. WILLI Am My Lord, you are acting
ministerially—it is your duty to go up with the Court.
IlisLORDSIltr said he did not like i:—(4 loud laugh).
lie wished to maintain the honour of the City, and
he thought the Court had acted very wrong in voting
the Address.
Mr. Alderman NV:strum/or, on behalf of himself
and the Court, proteste(! against this mode of inter-
ference wiih their privileges. The Lard Mayor was
the Officer of the Court : others, as well as his Lord-
ship, had carried Addresses and Remonstrances which
were contrary to their own opinions ; but he trusted
that it would not be again attempted by any Lord
Mayor to influence their proceedings.
The Court separated at a quarter before five o'clock.
The follo..ving is a list of the Minority on the Pre-
vious Question, proposed by Sir WILLIAM CURTIS :
