MEETING or TAE rifrA RD or FARRINGDON-

WITHOUT-THIS DAY.

A numerous and respectable Meeting of the Li-
very and other Inhabitants of this Ward took place
at St. Bride's Church, this day. The Chair was taken
at a quarter past one o'clock, by Mr. AldermanWA ITH
N, whoron entrance, was received with loud cheers.
The worthy CH AIRSIA N then stated that a Requi-
sition, numerously and respectably signed, had
been presented to him to call a Meeting " for the
purpose of taking into consideration the propriety
of condoling with her Majesty Queen Caroline, on
the losses she had recently sustained in her family,
and also to Address her on the wicked conspiracy
now carrying on to destroy her character and her
honour: In consequence of this Requisition, he had
called the present Meeting.
Mr. THOMPSON then rose, and in a speech of some
length, distinguished by much sarcastic humour, con-
demned the whole proceedings against her MAJESTY
as endangering the peace of the empire, not only in-
volving in its consequences the QUEEN, but having a
b fleful influence on future generations, and as inju-
fous, deeply injurious to the character of the KING
I- i m,zlf, by calling in question the morality of his con-
duct. He concluded by moving the Address, which
was adopted unanimously.

ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN,
FROM TIIE WARD OF CRIPPLEGATE

This day, a most numerous and respectable Meet-
in; of the Inhabitants of the Ward of Cripplegate
IVithin took place at St. Alphage Church, for the
pnrpose of addressing her MAJESTY, Alderman
WOOD in the Chair.

It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with
which the entrance of the worthy Alderman was hailed•

As soon as he had taken the Chair, he stated to the
Meeting, that he had most readily obeyed the Requi-
sition, signed by a number of the most respectable
LlneJitants of the Ward, upon the subject the most
interesting to British bosoms. He observed in the
countenances of all around the most unequivocal
roofs of sympathy in the sufferings of the Queen;
and he would at once call upon the Gentleman, who
intended to move the first Resolution, to relieve the
anxieties of the rest of the Meeting, by addressing to
them his sentiments, and with them the sentiments of,
the whole Ward—(Ckeers).

Mr. E. HEATH, of Wood-street, then rose arni.lst
loud applauses. Ile called upon the Meeting to join
him in the expression of those feelings which had al-
ready been so powerfully described in all parts of
the country upon the subject of the sufferings and
heroism of our Queen. He %hewed the necessity of
abstaining from passing judgment until the case of
the Queen should be terminated—a course which
was directly opposite to that upon which her accusers
bad acted; and represented, in an impressive manner,
the injustice of the anathema pronounced by inte-
rested and corrupt persons upon her Majesty, even
before the evidence against her had been brought
forward. After having stated those grounds, which
are so obvious to all, in testimony of her Majesty's
innocence, he concluded by moving the following
Resolution:

" Resolved, That this Ward Meeting feel themselves called
upon by sentiments of unfeigned loyalty and affection, to con-
gratulate our beloved Queen upon her return to this country,
and to condole with her on the many afflictions it has been her
fate to experience."

Mr. RAN FORD seconded the Resolution, which
was carried unanimously.
Immediately after the following Resolution was
put and can ied :
" That a dutiful and loyal Address of Condolence and Con-
gratulation be presented to her Majesty, and that the Address
now proposed be presented."

(co.)

" TO TOE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

" MAY IT ?LEASK YOUR MAJESTY—We, his Majesty's ever
dutiful and loyal subjects, Inhabitants of the Ward of Cripple-
rate Within, beg leave to approach your Majesty with sincere
Irressions of attachment, loyalty, and regard.

" We condole with your Majesty on the many afflictions it
h..s been the fate of your Majesty to suffer since your departure
ir•nm England.

" We congratulate your Majesty on your safe return to this
country, in which we hope you will continue to reside as long as
you live, bailed by the universal voice of the People.
" We have seen with apprehensions and di!gust the proceed-
ins of your Majesty's accusers. The evidence we believe to be
ro foul as it is malignant, and supported by witnesses whose tes-
timony we cannot but regard as most suspicious.

" The introduction of the Bill of Pains and Penalties, and
the refusal to give your Majesty a list of witnesses, appears to
'his Meeting opposed to every principle of justice, and to the
practice of the Courts of Law.

" We cannot refrain from noticing with indignation the on-
christianlike spirit of the Heads of the Church, in stooping so
low as to lend themselves to a measure most degrading to their
profession—we mean that of erasing your name from the Liturgy
of the Established Church.

4 We feel the greatest confidence in the manifestation of your
Majesty's innocence, to the confusion of your enemies.
" That your Majesty may long live to enjoy health, happiness,
and every privilege your high situation in life will afford, is the
sincere prayer of the li:L.bitant6 of the Ward of Cripplegate
Wit!,4l."

The Address having been carried, amidst the most
cathusiastic cheers, the following Resolution was pro-
posed, and unaniuiou,ly adopted :

conduct meet their decided approval, but more particularly in
his sympathizing conduct to our persecuted Queen."
Alderman WOOD returned thanks, and the Meet-
ing broke up.

Her MAJESTY received a a number of Addresses at
Brandenburgh house yesterday, and upon no former
similar occasion has there been such a vast concourse
of people assembled. Among the other Addresses
was one from the Seamen of the vessels in the River,
and the novelty of the circumstance seemed to crei,te
a popular effervescence, throughout the day, along
the whole line of road from Blackwall to Branden-
burgh House.
Between twelve and one o'clock, Mr. HuME, M.P.
arrived at Brandenburgh House, in his private car-
riage, with the Address from " the Ladies of Edin-
burgh and its vicinity." He was accompanied by
Mr. NORTIIMORE and another Gentleman, with an
Address from a number of the Inhabitants of the
City of Exeter; and their carriage was followed by
an open barouche, in which was a Lady, accorrt-
panied by two Gentlemen, with an Address from
" the Ladies of Exeter."
The next arrival was Sir GERARD NOEL and Mr.
P. Moorte, M.P. with the Coventry Address ; and
they were almost immediately followed by two Gen-
tlemen with an A.ldress from Ipswich.
In a few minutes after the arrival of these different,
personages, her MAJESTY, attended by her Cham-
berlains, Sir WILLIAM Gr.t.t. and the Hon. KEPPELL
CRAVEN, Lady ANNE HAMILTON, Mr. Alderman
WooD, &c. took her station at the upper end of the
marble gallery, and the bearers of the Addresses
were severally introduced.

After the Addresses had been read to her MA.
JESTY, and she had been graciously pleased to answer
the whole-of them, her MAJESTY seated herself; and
the Addressers, passing her individually, had the
honour of kissing her hand. Her MAJEsTr's answers
will be found in another column.

Her MAJESTY next gave audience to a deputation
from Spitalfields. These persons arrived in an ele-
gant open barouche with four horses, the drivers
wearing jackets of yellow satin and large white
favours. The object of their visit was to learn at
what time her MAJESTY would be pleased to receive
the Address vote,' at a Public Meeting of the Inha-
bitants of the Spitalfields district ; and her MAJESTY
appointed Monday next, at one o'clock.
By this time it was nearly three o'clock, and the
continually increasing influx of pedestrians into Ham-
mersmith gave note of the pear approach of " The
Seamen's Address."

At the outer gates, leading. into the grounds of
Brandenburgh House, a party of eight of the Bow-
street patrol had been stationed, in order to exclude
the notorious pickpockets, and other disorderly cha-
racters, and for some time they had succeeded in
accomplishing this; but now the pressure without
became so excessive, that they were completely over-
powered; the gates flew open, and the multitude
rushed in an overwhelming torrent. The scene for a
few minutes was dreadful, though, at the same time,
it had a mixture of the ludicrous. Hundreds of people
were thrown down by the first rush ; and hundreds
of others, impelled by the vast mass behind, came
rolling and tumbling over them in infinite confusion.
Fat elderly well-dressed Ladies, portly old Gentle-
men, costermongers, dustmen, and chimney-sweeps,
were seen scrambling out of the affray upon all-
fours; and when the bustle had a little subsided, the
whole place was found strewed with shoes, hats,
bonnets, artificial flowers, torn veils, &c. We believe,
however, there were no bones broken, though, at
one moment the screams were quite astounding.
From this time, for nearly an hour, there was one
continual stream of people pressing forward into the
grounds, and at length the leaders of the Seamen's 'pro-
cession made their appearance.
They were preceded by a very decent band of
music, playing " Hearts ?f Oak;" and at the end of
every verse three cheers were given along the whole
line. After the music, were borne three banners of
light blue silk ; one of them inscribed, in gold let-
ters, " The Seamen's Address ;" the second " May
liEdrz3r protect the Innocent !" and the third, " Non
mi ricordo!" Then came a seafaring person of the
name of STRANGER, on horse-back, bearing in his hand
the Address, and behind him followed upwards of
four thousand seamen, walking four abreast, and arm
in arm ; every man wearing the white cockade, and,
every here and there, there floated over the column,
Union Jacks, blue, white, and red ensigns of all sorts
and sizes, &c. &c.
The procession passed on down the avenue ; but ie
was soon found that the court-yard was incapable oft

containing a twentieth part of them ; and orders were
Piven to admit them through the garden on to the
awn between the house and the River. This was at
length achieved; and Mr. STRANGER was admitted
into the house to present the Address ; after which
her MAJESTY appeared on the balcony of the centre
window, attended by Mr. Alderman WOOD, LADY
ANNE HAMELTON, Mr. CRAVEN, Sir W. GELL, Sir
GERARD NOEL, Mr. P. MOORE, and several other,
Gentlemen, occupying the adjoining balconies. The
seamen had in the mean time marshalled themselves
into an irregular kind of hollow square, extending
quite from the mansion to the banks of the River ;
their flags, ensigns, &c. being arranged and dis-1
played at intervals. On the River were a number of
pleasure-boats, filled with well-dressed people ; and
the opposite shore for a considerable distance was
lined with spectators.
When her MAJESTY first appeared on the balcony
nine tremendous cheers were given, and her MAJESTY
acknowledged the salutation by repeatedly bowing.
She then put into the hand of Mr. Alderman Woo D
the Answer to the Address, which sl.e desired him to
read aloud. A dead silence ensued ; and the Alder-
man proceeded to read, as follows :

" A British seaman is another name for downright sincerity
and plain-spoken truth. A British seaman always says what he'
thinks, and is what he seems. A British seaman never deserts
his flag, and never abandons his companion in distress.
" A British seaman is generous to his enemy, but he is never
faithless to his.friend. Ills heart is not fickle and inconstant,'
like the element on which he moves, or the wind which fills the
sails of his dup. The word of a British seaman is as sure u his
bond. His veracity is incorruptible.
" In the late examination before the House of Lords let the
evidence of the two British Naval Officers who were brought
forward by my accusers, be compared with the misrepresenta-
tions, ambiguities, and equivocating perjuries of the other wit-
nesses, and the honest character of a British sailor will be truly
resplendent in the contrast with that mass of infamy.
" A British sailor is generous to excess, and brave even to a
fault. There is no extremity of distress in which he will not

" dly. That th,: Inhabitants of the Ward of Cripplegate
'Vi Li:, feel pit.l3t:re iu thi. opportunity of expressing their great
"ccin for their worthy Altiermar., whose public and private

share his last shilling with his Mend-, and often even with his
foe • nor are there any circumstances in which be will not pre-
iler death to disgrace; and every evil under the sun to cowardice.
" When I had long been convinced that these are the ordinary The KING left this place at two o'clock, in !,i1
diaracteristics of British seamen, it may be easily conceived that travelling carriage,for Brighton, where his MkrysTli
liana in the highest degree gratihed by an Address so !Opt and was expected to arrive to dinner. Since the KING'S
IS Warm-hearted from such a respectable assemblage of British residence here, he has been in the enjoy meat of
seamen In the county id Middlesex.
"I am not surprised that British seamen, who are as CoMI most excellent• health. Sir WILLIAM KEPPEL left
passionate as they are brave, should feel for my sufferings, and for London yesterdays.
should be indignant at my wrongs. The wrongs and sufferings
of a woman, and that woman a Queen, must make a deep
pression on their generous hearts.
" It is only the base and the cowardly that can tamely acqui-
esce in injustice and inhumanity ; and lat fully convinced that
insulted greatness or depressed rank can tinwliere find a surer
refuge or more steady prottctinn than in the sailors and soldiers
of this country.
" As the Queen Consort of England, my sphere of usefulness
is small, and my means of butefiting the community very cir-
cumscribed; but, as far as my power or my influence extend,
all classes will ever find in me a sincere friend to their libel tiei,
and a zealous advocate for their rights."
Almost every sentence was received with loud
huzzas.

WINDSOR, SEPTEMBER 13. •

Immediately after the reading the answer, her
MAJESTY withdrew amidst reiterated cheering, -and
the crowd began to depart ; but it was not till long
after six o'clock that the grounds were entirely cleared.
'fhe sailors returned to town in small parties, without
any regularity of march, and the public-houses on
the road were all crowded to an overflow with them.
Throughout the whole of the business ,)1 the day,
however, they conducted themselves most respect-
ably ; and, for the most park they were very clean
and decent, and in many instances quite gay in their
appearance. A similar Deputation from the Seamen
of White-haven is in agitation.
Her MAJESTY returned the following gracious
Answer to the Address from the Ladies of Edinburgh
and its vicinity :
" I have long known, and, in several instances, have experi-
enced, that the females of Scotland are inferior to none in the
culture of their minds, in the purity of their principles, and in
the steadiness of their attachments. This Address, therefore,
from so many respectable characters of my own sex in the capi-
tal of Caledonia, has afforded me more than ordinary satisfaction.

" In my progress through life it kas been my first object to
retain my own self-respect, without whick integrity can have
no strong hold upon the heart. My next desire has been to be
esteemed by those who are themselves estimable ; and whose ap-
probation, while it is regulated by the judgment, is spontaneous
and unbought. If I possess the good opinion of this batter por-
tion of the community, I am indifferent to the vile herd of ve-
nal traducers, or to that corrupt part of the Nation who praise
or blame not as themselves condemn or approve, but as higher
authorities command. The praise or the blame of such persons,
which is always to be purchased in the market of infamy, is a
matter of little moment ; for venality is equally contemptible,
whether it deals in panegyric or invective.
" The reasons which are employed to annul my marriage have
a tendency to render every nuptial obligation fluctuating and in-
secure. The permanence of the institution would thusbe made
to depend more on inclination than on principle.
" As far, therefore, as this Bill of Pains and Penalties may
hereafter be employed as a precedent, it must be injurious to the
moral interests of the community. I am glad that the discri-
minating and intelligent females of Scotland arc beginning to
view the question under thi.i aspect ; and to regard the experi-
ment of a new mode of divorce, that is making in the House
of Lords, as full of peril to the Nation.
" The more the good sense of all classes of the community and
of both sexes is exercised an the present attempt to annul my
marriage and to effect my degradation. the more they will be
convinced that, if such an attempt should be successful, it must
be hazardous in the extreme to the moral and political interests
of the people, to the personal comfort of individuals, and to the
general welfare of the community."
Her MAJESTY'S gracious Answer to the Address
from St. Stephen, by Launceston, Cornwall :
" The inhabitants of St. Stephen, by Launceston. in the
county of Cornwall, are entitled to my thanks for this affec-
tionate Address.

" In the depths of adversity Goo has raised me up a host of
strength in the affections of the generous people of these realms.
I am glad to find that this noble spirit of generous loyalty is
kindling in the remote parts of Cornwall; and that, even in the
minds of that County, the name of the much-injured Queen
CAROLINE is repeated with enthusiastic sympathy. lam happy
in being the object to which so much of the national affection is
directed; not because it ministers any gratification to my pride,
but because it seems likely to furnish me with increased oppor-
tunities of beneficence.

" To the adversity has no terrors; nor will my mind lose its
native elasticity in any circumstances. If I claim, with inflexi-
ble pertinacity, all tha rights and privil.zts that belong to the
Queen Consort, it is not for the pleasure of which they will be
productive to myself, but it is because they will enlarp my
sphere of general usefulness."
The following Answer was returned by her MA-
JESTY to the Address from Halifax :
" I shall always be ambitious of preserving the esteem of my
own sex ; and, among those of my own sex whose good opinion
I value, I am far front being indifferent to the approbation of
the Female Inhabitants of Halifax.

" I am not the narrow-minded advocate of any sect or party,
but the common friend of all parties and sects. Every Sovereign
suffers a diminution of his sovereignty in proportion as he be-
comes a partisan. There is nothing factious or sectarian in good-
ness; and those who aim at benefiting mankind must not suffer
themselves to be fettered by exclusive partialities."
JOSEPH HUNIE, Esq. M.P. for Montrose, has re-
ceived an Address to the QUEEN from the Magistrates
and Inhabitants of the Royal Burgh of Montrose,- in
their Head Court, assembled on the sth instant.
