MEETING OF BISHOPSGATE WARD.

I•csterday a Meeting of the Inhabitant Heine-
: ',kr; was held in Bishopsgate Church, pursuant
Requisition presented to Sir R. CARR GLYNN,
jet, the Alderman of the Ward. Application was
to the Churchwardens, who, in the most hand-
''s manner, gave them permission to hold the
•the Church
Vetting there. By twelve o clock was
,-;,wded to excess by one of the most respectable
*dings we ever witnessed. The great majority at
katt of householders were present, and by half-
elve there was not even standing room left in
irat
s't‘cpart of the Church. The galleries of the Church
sere equally crowded, even in the remotest corners.
The oldest inhabitant of the Ward scarcely remem-
lend such numbers being ever seen before. At 12
the Chair was taken by r. Gezestaway, Esq. and
RAWLINS, Knt. Deputies of the Ward ; the
fernier of whom, in a very neat speech, stated the
rh;n: far which they had that day met, and the
cheerfulness with which he and his brother Deputy
hici acquiesced in calling the Meeting, the absence
cthe worthy Alderman. He considered he was but
4,ing his duty in complying with the Requisition,
;silt had no doubt, from his long acquaintance
them, that the proceedings of the day would
gi-e them all high satisfaction.
Kr.CORDELL, in rising to propose a series of Re-
obtions, observed, that he had often had occasion
to present himself before them in a similar manner,
Ist never on any business so calamitous and hem-t-
-ending as the present. Happy, indeed, would it
hae been, that such dismal events had never oc-
ccrecl—and since they had occurred, happy also
would a be if they could be buried in oblivion.
Ma, however, never would take place, for they
would be transmitted down to future ages, who no
doubt would, with anxious eyes, peruse the page of
keory to see what had been the feelings and what
the conduct of their ancestors at the accomplishment
of such deeds. It became them, therefore, as Eng-
Ishmen, in justice to themselves and the character
of the country, as also in justice to posterity, to come
fortrad manfully, and express their abhorrence of,
tel their indignation at outrages, the very idea of
'LI made one blush to think they could have been
ri3etratzd on a British soil. It became them, in a
pm= and dignified manner, to exhibit their attach-
sent to the Constitution, and their decided regret at
the attacks made upon it. The Requisition of the
inhabitants had been cheerfully agreed to by their
rorthy Deputies, and it was but proper to state,
among its signatures, were many belonging to
bemlemen who had never adhered to any party in
:he Ward. He rejoiced that the Meeting had been
ierafore convened, and while he felt that their
warmest thanks were due to the worthy Deputies in
tae Chair, be could not help observing what a con-
trast their conduct chewed to that of some Magis-
::res who refused to permit the people to enjoy their
legal and constitutional privileges. The persons who
u:ei so, seemed to forget that the power which they
plssessed emanated from the people, and, instead of
Sterling that power in behalf of and for the good of
lase by whom it was delegated to them, they did
e'err thing that was possible to thwart their wishes
rd contract their privileges—(Loid applause).—The
requisition which had called them together, confined
the object of their attention solely to the Man-
:Lester outrages. In the propriety of that measure
;..° most cordially agreed, and should, therefore, in
,ae few observations he had now to make, carefully
i'Aain from the least allusion to Parliamentary Re.
'am, and the distinctions between Whig and Tory.

was now the time for Britons to stand up in
'..ence of those sacred rights which had been pur-
c:rased by the blood of their ancestors, and to contend
•aerefore for party, would be as unmanly as it would
ungenerous. That the Meeting held at Blanches-
was legal no person could doubt, and that it was
`lll conducted was equally obvious, till the public
grace was broken, not by the people assembled for
,t6oning for a redress of grievances, but by an
body, who were bound to have protected
-le. It was said by some, that that Meeting was
%olposed of the lower orders--aa expression eel.-
