A very numerous and respectable 'Meeting of the
Inhabitants of t!-.e Parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel,
was held on Thursday, in the
cons Vestry-room of the
Church, for the purpose ofconsidering the propriety
of presenting an Address of Congratulation to the
(bags on the abandonment of the Bill of Pains and
Penalties in the House of Lords. Several Gentlemen
expressed their abhorrence of the measures that had
been adopted to vilify and -degrade the QUEEN.
Thanks were voted to Lady ANNE HAMILTON, AO
Mr. Alderman WOOD, and to Mr: HAYS, for his con-
duct in the Chair. The Address, which has since re-
ceived no less than 4,000 names,.is to be presented by
a Deputation of Ladies and Gentlemen, accompanied
by G. BYNG, and S. C. WHITBREAD, Esqrs. M.P.
A Requisition-for calling a Meeting of the County
of Somerset, is in a state of forwardness.
A Requisition for a Meeting of the County of York
is now in a course of signature ; the object of the
Meeting will be to express a strong opinion on the
late proceedings against the QUEEN.
A Requisition to the MAYOR of Lincoln, signed
by upwards of eighty inhabitants, including four
Aldermen and the Sheriffs was sent to him on Satur-
day se'nnight, requesting him to call a Meeting
" for the purpose of cor.sidering the propriety of pre-
senting a congratulatory Address to the QUEEN on
her recent triumph over conspiracy and perjury." In
compliance therewith the MAYOR appointed a Meet-
ing, which was to be held on Friday last.
A Requisition has been presented to the Vicar and
Churchwardens of the Parish of Islington, calling on
them to convene a Meeting of the Vestry for the pur-
pose of congratulating her MAJESTY on the failure
of the late Bill of Pains and Penalties. The Church-
wardens took time to consider the subject, the Senior
alleging that the Meeting could not be called with-
out the sanction of the Vicar. To this it was replied,
that, in fact, the Vicar had nothing to do with it, and
that it rested with the Churchwardens only. The
Senior persisted, however, and the objection was
waved in deference to his better judgment. On Fri-
day night last a refusal to call the Meeting was re-
ceived from the Churchwarden, the conclusion of his
letter intimating that the present is a question in
which the interests of the inhabitants of Islington are
not concerned. With the Churchwarden's letter
comes one from the Vicar (who is also a Prebend of
Rochester), contradicting the doctrine of the Church-
warden by the following paragraph I might not
improperly decline communicating my sentiments on
a matter, in which they have the sole right of direc-
tion, and with which I can pretend no official con-
cern." The inhabitants of Islington, thinking.the pre-
sent question one in which their interests are con-
cerned, will now meet without the Churchwardens,
and the time fixed for their meeting is Monday next,
at six in the evening.
Wednesday evening, several hundreds of the inha-
bitants of Southampton assembled together (that
being the day her Majesty went in procession to St.
Paul's), and in celebration of which event, a grand
display of fire-works was exhibited in a large field
near the Wheat Sheaf Inn; and the effigies of Ma-
joccbi, De Mont, Sacchi, Cuchi, and Rastelli, were
exposed to public view, after which they were thrown
into the midst of a very large bonfire, and.the whole
concluded with a grand explosion of the green bag.
Last week Major CASE, of Testerton-house, Nor-
folk, gave to all,the poor men, women, and children,
upon his estate, and many others in the neighbour-
hood, a good dinner of roast beef, plum-pudding,
and plenty of ale, in honour of the QUEEN'S triumph.
In the afternoon, the women and children had tea
and cakes, and they enjoyed themselves dancing and
singing till nearly five o'clock in the aviary, when they
departed, expressing their grateful thanks to their
hospitable donor, and to the Ladies who had conde-
scendingly waited on them during the day. After
the poor people had dined, a sumptuous dinner was
given to a numerous party of Ladies and Gentlemen.
The room was tastefully decorated with oak and
laurel branches, and transparencies with appropriate
mottoes. After dinner, Major CASE gave—" The
Queen; GOD bless her r-e. The healths of the Bishop
of Norwich"—" The Duke of Sussex"—" T. W. Coke,
Esq."—" Lord Albenlarle"—" Archdeacon Bathurst,"
and many other Gentlemen were drank with loud
and reiterated applause, and the conviviality of the
evening was kept up with great spirit till a late hour.

We are happy to understand that Sir WALTER
SGOTT, Bart. has hcen, upon the resignation of Sir
JAMES HALL, unanimously elected Piesident of the
Royal Society of Edinburgh, at the fullest meeting of
that learned body that ever assembled. This honour,
which is the highest that Scotland has to bestow on
literary or scientific eminence, was, we are informed,
entirely unsolicited either by the distinguished per-
sonage who has received it, or by any of his friends.
We mention, as a token of the spirit of the times,
that a public-house on Toll-house-hill, Nottingham,
long known by the sign of the King's Arms, has
now hoisted a portrait of Thomas Denman, Esq.
Solicitor-Genial to the Queen; and another house
in Chapel-bar, has taken down the King's Head, and
a figure of Queen Caroline, with the rose, shamrock,
and thistle, is to be fixed up instead thereof.
The Rector of Bilston, the Rev. Mr. LEIGH, at the
illumination of that town on Monday se'nnight, had
a transparency, with the inscription, " Let every one
enjoy his own opinion—l believe the Queen to be
innocent," &c. If this true spirit of Christian civi-
lization had been generally adopted by the Clergy,
in relation to the same subject, the throne, the laws,
and the altar, would have reposed on a rock of ada-
mant, in comparison with their present basis.
Lord ERSKINE in little chaise drawn by his I
Celebrated horse 'Bluebottk, is now one of the most
constant distinguished whips on the drive between
London and his seat of Broom Hall, near Reigate.
Lord SUFFIELD had last week a distinguished
party, at his seat in Norfolk ; amongst whom were the
Duke of YORK and the Duke of WELLINGTON.
Sir WILLIAM ELLIOT, Bart, when hunting with the
Mellerstain Fox-hounds a few days ago, in the neigh-
bourhood of Lord MINTO'S house, in Rosburghshire,
mdt with a bad accident, his horse having fallen
with him in leaping over a wall towards the end of a
long run, by which the Honourable Baronet had one
of his legs much bruised.
