DISTRESSED FISHERMEN OF QOEENBOROUG

A Publit Meeting was held yesterday at the Leda
Tavern. for t' e purpose of !lying before she public
•t dement of the appropri Alan of the funds sins crits,.,
during the lit year, and to consider of the means'
affording further relief to the Disiressed Fishermea
Q.ieenborough.

seat a respectful Memorial to hi:. Majesty, praying aide'
some altetat;on might be made in the Chest:it or anew
roe granted.
Mr. CARRUTHERS asked what were the c' ndidnes,
which the tel..ct body wished to impo.e as apt eqi.iva,
lent for the restorat on of the rights of the he. ni a?
The CHAIRMAN said that-Th. sekc' body we ft 1111 s
eat)./10`k to the distresses of the fi hermen unless they
would sign a bye law to the eft: ct that they woud
agree to any futute laws •hich the select body night
think proper t impose.
The CHAIRMAN it en stated, that the fends of the
Corporatt n had been converted into eng•n?s to ski
party anJ purposes. the Bo (nigh hid bent I

wards of a century, and M . G wet was the very first

abuses which then existed, and vicce. ded eventually is
throwing nut the two Government •Ittisbers. He no
sooner g j into power himself, however; than he .ba.
came at; I ppre,sor, and would grant to the freemen tfe
power or layiqg d twit their oy •ter beds only n condi-
tion that they committed their rights and privileges to
the custody of the Corporation. The worthy Chairman
c included by expressing a hope t• at Englishmen would
not link on with apathy at such an usurpaeori of the
right!' and privileges <4 a pn'ti •n of Oen countrymen,
but would at all events come tot ward to sescue than
or, m that famine to which they moist othet wise be con.
signed—(Cheers.)
The SacnarA aT then read a oeprt of the application
of the funds during the last year. which report was re.
ceived and adopted by the-Meeting.
The CHAIRMAN obavrsed, that he had the gratifies-
lion to inform the Meeting that one object of Mr. Greet
had been defeated by the subscription f last year. The
freemen had been saved from the necessity of applying
for parochial relief, which would have destroyed the
elect ye franchise. The expression of Mr. Greet to the
freemen was,44l will keep you poor to make you humble."
Mr. ALra made a powerful appeal to the sympathies
of the Meeting in layout of the unfortunate burgesses,
and concluded by moving, 64 That a Witt or subscription
in their behalf be immediately commenced."
Alderman LUCAS seconded the motion, and expressed
a hope that the patience with which they had borne
th it suffering, would create such feelings in their
favour as would eventually save them from the gripe
of their oppressors.

Mr. PLATT (the Bassist r) and Mr. cAnnUTHIRS.
severally addressed the Meeting in favour of the unity.
tunate burgesses.
Mr. Sergeant Mutawaavomt, in moving the re-ap-
pointment of last year's Committee, with power to add
to their numbers, made an eloquent appeal to the
public feeling, and legally set forth the duties sf fhe
seven deci, as well as the duties they had usurped, and
contended that the burgesses were flirly entitled to those
privileges of which the select body had deprived them.
The SICILETARY rhea read a list of subscriptions, amongst which
Were the following—John Carel. Req. M.P. 1001. (Mr. Carel sob.
scribed WM. last year also) ; Mr. Sergeant Wilde, 211. Mr. Ser-
geant Mereweatlser, 101. 10s. Mr. Platt,. 101. los. Mr. Puller,
101. 101. Mr. Sanders, 101. 10s. Alderman Lucas, lOL 10s. &c.
The CHAIRMAN said, that under the impression that
vole Gentlemen might wish to ask any questions of the
fishermen themselves, they had sent for several of them,
who were at that moment in the room, and would gladly
answer any interrogatories that might be put to them.
Mr. PIMLY said he believed that there was a good
deal r f misrepresentation on both sides, but as the ob-
ject of the meeting was not political, but only to relieve
the distresses of the inhabitants, he would subsctibe to
the fund—(Cheers). What he had that day heard he
could not have at all believed had he not visited Queen.
borough some few months back, when it bore every re•
'semblance to Goldsmith's Deserted Village.
A Gentleman said he had spoken with Mr. Greystock..
one of the seven select, and asked him how the select
body could proceed with such a malicious, bad, sad
vengeful spirit? upon which he answered, that it was
eel tainly a bad and malicious spirit, but that the select
body had obtained their power and would defend it.
Mr. CA RRUTH gas taid, that the legal gentlemen were
of opieion that the burgesses had the better cause, Ind
if that were the case, why not try the question ? As
matters stood, they might be called on year after year
:or subscriptions to relieve the burgesses.. when a sub-
s:i iption to enable them to get a decision in their fa-
vour would settle the matter at once.

Mr. TAYLI R (the Common Councilman) was of a
itn ilar opinion.
The CHAIRMAN said. that the suggestion was very
good, but in the interim something must be done to
save the people from starving.
A rainy of questions were then put to the fisher-
men present, which they answered very clearly and
satisfactntily.—Thanks were then voted to the Chair-
man, and tl.e Meeting adjourned.
Sir GEORGE MURRAY is so sufficienijy recovered from
bis late severe indispositions as to be able to attend to his
business.

The Marquis of SALISBURY gave a grand dinner en
Wednesday, at Hatfield House, to the Mayor, Recorder, Alder.
men, &c. of Hertford.
The Parks were yesterday thronged, owing to the
exceeding fineness of the day, notwithstanding the par-
tial fug in London. At the river in Hyde Park, the
ice carts were very busy, with the swans walking scram
the ice, curiously observing them ; but there were •no
skaters on this part of the river. Beyond the New
Bridge—that is, in Kensington Gardens—there were
some select few. actively enjoying tbsi pleasures 14

We perceive by the Dublin Papers that the LORD

MAYOR h4l refused to call a Meting to addles' the
Loao LIILUTZWANT on his recal from the government
of Ireland. This establishes clearly the sense enter
• tained by the loyal citizens of the Irish metropolis of

the indiscreet conduct of Loid A Mann, in giving ad-
vice contrary to that enforced by the Premier to a re-
bellious and discontented fiction. But, decisive as this
circumstance is of public opinion, we should not have
deem it worthy of our calling attention to it, were it

not accompanied by a similar refusal from a very dii-
ferent place, and very dissimilar persons. Even our

English Readers are aware that Waterford is the head
. quarters of Popery: there the green flag was first un-
furled, which led the Association to positive power,
and there were they advanced on the road of tumult,
amounting almost to insurrection.
Yet how has Lord ANGLESEY and his patronage of
Popery fa►ed in this Pandemonium of Priests and De-
mocrats? And by way of parenthesis, we mar adcl,l

that Padre SHEEHAN, one of the foreign fed and fo-

reign•ruleJ Points of the regular order, was the prime
inventor of that moral suicide, the cutting off of the

forty-shilling freeholders from the protection of their
landlords, and the marshaller of these Helots at the
election of Mr. Vit.t.ans STEWART, in Waterford. But
how has Lord ANOLEART been honoured in this sanc-
tuary of Liberals? 11 by we shall tell thee, gentle
Reader. Mr. BONAPARTE WWI, with All the sedulous
activity of his unfortunate namesake, procured a long
list of names, at the head of which R. SHAPLAND CA-
saw. M.P. is affixed. This M.P. may be a very re
spectable young or old Gentleman; but we never hear
of him at this side of the Channel. To this long list of
names, follows a glowing requisition to the Right Wel-
. shipful the Mayor of Waterford, entreating him to call
a coveting to express the sorrows of the Radicals at the
recall of the Marquis of Anor.amor. But the Mayor
answers, " I consider it quite unnecessary to calk a
Inteting at the present period—l therefore return the
requisition."
Poor Mr. Wrsz, like his namesake, was not to be
foiled by one failure. Another requisition is sent to
two Magistrates—both of them refused. But the last
TIMM was to try another Magistrate, Sir SIMON
Nzweoar, who very properly answers, " I conceive it
the right of the Crown, at all times, to change its ser-
twits at will,and therefore I decline calliog the Meeting."
But Mr. %ribs was determined to make occasion for

riot, aad revolutionary harrangues, and some of the
humble shopkeepers and artisans, resolved to have a
meeting of their own, since they could not have the
Gentlemen of Waterford to join them.
Now why do we mention these circumstances so par.
ticulatly ? It is not for the purpose of drawing the at•
tension of our readers to such individuals as Mr. Wu*,
or those with whom he may conceit measures for ex-
citing the public mind. But we have here sufficient
evidence to prove the disapprMsation that universally
prevails respecting the I,OltD LIEUTENANT'S conduct.
Even in the "sea.: of fut y" no Geo.tlentan would paws.
n'ae his Excellency's (1 he any longer be so) conduct
Load ANGLESEY snay be flattered by these add.esses ;
but we ate certvin that before be breathed the atmos-
phere of PopiSh popularity and Jesuitical jugglery,
there was no man in the British dominions that would
have loathed with mote disdain these sickening ad-
dresses Irom the greasy mob; but be has chosen his
peat, and We regret it Wost sincerely—for every Briton
must love him as a soldier, though they hurt pity him

as a politician.
However, it is evidett that the respectable part of
Dish society will not be among those who will compli-
ment him. 1-1,,w ate the mighty fallen 1 One of the
hetoes tf Waterloo to feel himself honoured by the,
hoks.is of O'CotattLes bare-footed ragamuffins. It is
WO much for our pride to think of it.

The Paris Papers, whichreceived last night, wi.b
the excertion of an article from B. din, contain no in-
telligence of importance. The article alluded to states
that negotiations for peace are carrying on with gteat
activity; and it is affirmed that the Emperor NICHOLAS
tufs Melded so far to the councils of the Cabinet of
Berlin, as to afford a reasonable hope that the policy
of England will ultimately prevail.
