CLUB..

It having been determine.] at a special Meeting o'
the Committee of the London and Westminster Protestant Club,
and other Gentlemen interested in the preservation of the rights and
liberties, and the Established Religion of their country, to present a
loyal and dutiful address to the Kum, in the earnest hopethat his
MAJWITV would be graciously pleased to withhold his Royal Assent
from the Bill now pending in Parliament fur the admission of Ro-
man Catholics into the Legislature of the United Kingdom, aU
true Protestants were publicly invited to meet this day at Hyde
Park Corner, for the purpose of proceeding to Windsor, and pre-

It was intended that all Protestants, who intended to join the
Procession in Carriages or on horseback, should assemble soon after
nine o'clock in the carriage-drive as the south side of Hyde Park
►at to t►e surprise of every body, all the gates which led into the
Pa►k were hermetically sealed ; nor was this restriction confined to
Hyde Park alone: the Green Path, St. James'a Park, and even
the entrance to the latter from Queen.square. were shut up also.
The crowd at Hyde Park•corner,notwitbstanding this restriction,
were eatremely orderly, and waited with great good humour the
arrival of the procession ; the only appearance of which was, in the
first instance, a Gentleman, supposed to be the Rev. Sir 11. 'moues
Lass on horseback, an orange-coloured sash round his neck, and
rosettes of the same colour on his horse's bridle. In half all hour
afterwards a few coaches, with tour horses each, drove slowly on
towards Knightsbridge, and these constituted the while of the ca-
valcade, as many persons preferred joining the procession on its way
to Brentford,Hotinslsw, Salthill, and Eton,wbere the Duke of Cum-
lIIRLAWD wasespected to receive the petition and proceed with it to
Windsor Castle; the processiakhulting the while .t the entrance
into the town of Eton, to await tist announcement t.f their petition
having been received by his MAJESTY.
