lotions in the place of the business for which the
Liirery had been convened. " I feel," said he, " the
utmost respect for you, Mr. Thompson, as a Li.
verymari, but T must protest against those proceed-
ings ; and my reason, I wish it to be distinctly un-
derstood, is, that they are irregular."
Mr. PARKINS immediately crie.l out—" It is with
my complete consent those Resolutions are put be-
fore any other proceedings are ventured upon."
Mr. Sims then read the first Resolution with great •
distinctness and emphasis. It was carried with a roar
of approbation.
Alderman ROYIIIVELL, with a smile which seldom
left his face after the victory had been declared, said
that he could not declare that the Resolution was
carried, to the Livery, as he disapproved of the intro;
ducion of the Resolutions altogether.
Mr. Nevus took the Resolution with avidity,
and declared that it was carried ; " but" said he, " it
is needless to say so, for every one who has eyes, or
ears, must know it. 111 take care that there shall be.
tto underhand work !"
Alderman RoTHWELL intimated to the Crier, that
'he was.weong in putting the Resolutions.
Mr. Slays replied, that he could not help it, as he
was, in common with the other Officers, the servant.
of the Livery.
'The other Resolutions were then carried by accla-
mation. That which conveyed a vote of thanks to
Alderman WAITIIMAN was accompanied with three
cheers ; and that which passed censure upon the LORD
MAYOR, was also hailed with cheers. After which
three rounds of groans evinced their opinion of that
popular Magistrate.
A burst of laughter from thousands attended the
attempt of the insignificant few who raised their
feeble voices against the Resolutions, which were de-
clared by Mr. PARKINS to be carried almost unani-
mously. By this time the COMMON SERJEANT, and
all the other Law Officers, except the Sheriffs, had
sunk back into the crowd of the disconsolate at the
back of the hustin:ls, where they could effectually
get out of sight of those who had possession of the
Hall. From this moment the sentiment seemed to
be one. Nothing but applause was heard at the con-
clusion of every popular sentence.
Mr. PERRI NG (nephew to Sir JOHN PERRINO) stood
forward amidst loud cheers. He asked the Livery
whether it was to be endured that they should be
dictated to in expressing their opinions upon a sub-
ject of such deep moment as to agitate the whole
community?—(Cries cif' " 'Tis nonsense to oppose
us.")—The Livery had acted up to his expectation,
and had taught those arbitrary fools a lesson
which could never be forgotten—(Loud cheers.)—
Never again, he trusted, would there be found a
Chief hlagistra:e who would be arrogant and ab-
surd enough to oppose the sentiments of such a body
on a subject which concerned the Nation at large—
who was there that was not called upon to remove this
foul blot that had been fixed upon the reputation of his
country by the sanguinary proceedings at Manchester?
Neither Whig, nor Tory, nor Reformer, nor Radical,
could wish that his liberty should be at the beck of
any Magistrate—( Cheers). Mr. PERRINO concluded
with moving a Vote of Thanks to Messrs. Tnomesosi
and BUMSTEAD, for the admirable manner in which
they had brought forward the important business
which decided the question between the Livery and
the Lord Mayor.
This Resolution was carried, as the former one,
with cheers.
Alderman WAITIIMAN then stood forward to re-
turn thanks for the honour done him. He over-
leaped the usual form of doing so, immediately after
the passing of the Resolution, in his anxiety to have
all the measures of the Livery carried. He congratu-
lated the Meeting from the bottom of his soul upon
their triumph. Had lie been in a dying state, he
should have come with a feeble voice to encourage
them to resist this atrocious attack on their privileges.
What could be said of those who attempted to stifle
the voice of the Livery ? Ile called upon the Meet-
ing to look to the hypocrisy of their enemies, to their
conduct in sending soldiers amongst the people, and in
fabricating plots.—( Tremendous cries of" Fire,frer
" Murder !" and .shouts qf laughter ! )—Was this
Bashatu of the City to refuse to the Livery the per-
mission to meet ? The worthy Alderman concluded
an animated speech with an attack upcn Samuel
Dixon, the sapient, and upon the few who had met
at the London Tavern.
Mr. STEVENS took an able review of the proceed-
ings at Manchester. The atrocious acts of that day
required no further comment. On that subject the
public opinion had pronounced its solemn judgment.
But there were ditties which that Meeting had to
discharge to the individuals who, on the 16th of Au-
gust, at Manchester, made a resolute stand in sup-
port of the Rights and Liberties of the People. The
conduct of Mr. Hunt was conspicuously correct. He
concluded with moving-

August last, rogtther with his able and temperate behaviour
before the Ma 'spates of that District, entitle him to the warm
and marked apProbation of tkis Common-Hall.
This Resolution was carried with acclamation,
with the exception of the few Ultras in the vicinity
of Mr: Richard Smith.
Mr. Hos: r came forward amidst great shouts of
applause, but not unmixed with hisses and cries of
" Electionl Election!" He was for some time on.
