THE COMMON COUNCIL ADDRESS.

At twelve o'clock this forenoon, the Low MATott,
attended by the two Sheriffs, Alderman WAITIIMAN,
the REcouta, the COMMON SERJEANT, a number of
Common Councilmen, &c. waited on the Passes RE-
GENT, agreeably to the appointment made yesterday,
with the Address voted-by the Common Council, on
the subject of the late transactions at Manchester,
Detachments of the Horse Guards, with full bands,
of music, were stationed in front of Carlton House.
A detachment of the Ist Guards, with a band, were
posted within the Colonnade. The Civic Procession
was received, on its arrival, with military honours,
the bands striking up " Rule Britanuia:

Their reception from his Royal Highness was most
gracious. On the right of the PRINCZ were Lords
SIDMOUTH and CASTLERZAGH ; an the left were the
Duke of WRLLINOTON and Lord LIVERPOOL.
The Address having been read by the Recoil:ou
the PRINCE Rzostm made the following Answer:
" I receive with feelings of deep regret this Ad•.
dress and Petition of the LORD MATOI4 Aldermem"
and Cominone q the City of London, in Common
Council-asseinbled.
" At a time when lii-designing and turbulent men
are actively engaged in inflaming the minds of their
fellow-subjects, and endeavouring by means the mod
dazing and insidious, to alienate them from their a1.„„.1
legiance to his Majesty, and the established Constints
Lion of the Realm, it is on the vigilance and conduct
of the Magistratei, that the preservation of the public
tranquillity must, in a great degree, depend ; and a
firm, faithful, and active discharge of their duty can-
not bat give them the strongest claim to the summit
approbation of they Sovereign and their Coititry.
“ With the circumstances which preceded the
Meeting at Manchester, you must. be unacquainted,
and of those which attended it you appear to bun,
beenineorrectly informed.
vo" If, however, the Laws were really ►iolated on
that occasion, by -those to whom it immediately
belonged, to assist in the execution of them, the
Tribunals of this Country are open to afford redress ;
but to institute an extra-judicial Inquiry under such
circumstances as the present, would be manifestly
inconsistent with the clearest principles of Public
Justice."

The Loan (Avon was much hooted by the popu-
lace, both on his way to Carlton-House, and on his
return. Alderman WAITUMAN was every where
hailed with loud cheers.

We lately met with an old book, containing some
very useful lessons, which we would recommend to
the serious perusal of Ms Majesty's Ministers, who
may possibly not be acquainted with it, as the ori-
ginal is written in Hebrew. It is divided into certain
portions called Books; and the one to which we
would particularly call their attention, is designated
the First Book of Kings; and in that Book, the 12th
Chapter. This Book is to be met with in very few
of even the most splendid private Libraries: ne-
vertheless we cannot doubt that, uy the aid of some
of the learned Clergy, a copy might be found for the
use of the Ministers 2f State !

MANCHESTER, SEPTEMBER'S*
' .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STA*. • I •
Stn—The adjourned Inquest on'the body of ROBT.
CAM PIELL, a Special Constable, who died in conse-
luenct of the injuries he received on the 17th of
August, in the neighbourhood of Newton-lane, took
Place this day. • For the fist time on record, I pre-
me, individuals• obnoxious to the Coroner, were
prevented from being present, and the Coroner pc-.
remptorily refuhed to let any person take notes of the
evidence. From the combined operation of these
causes, I can do no more than give you the verdict,
which was " Willi(' Murder against some person or
preens unknown." On this occasion an individual
was by force excluded from the room in which the
Inquest was held, from a suspicion, on the part of
the Coroner, that he was the person who furnished
you with the Report of the Inquest on the body of
EpbtuND DRWsoir. This he denied, and was then
told that at least he had given the information
from which that Report was drawn up. By some of
the London Papers, I see, that our " wise and accom-
plished Coroner," (or " our worthy Coroner," as he
styles himself), complains, that the statement of the
verdict of the Jury in DAWSON'S case, was garbled;'
and lustily threatens, that if he could but find out
who furnished the Report, he would proceed against
them. I cry your merty, good Mr. Coroner; in
what does this garbling consist? Why, verily, that
in stating the verdict, the followingconcluding phrase
was omitted : " but how the deceased came by his
wound no satisfactory evidence appeared."—Oh !
most vigorous and potent conclusion ! Why there was
no evidence at all upon the subject—there was no at-
tempt, as far as appears, to obtain any ; and the using
the term " satiffadory," looks like a make-believe
that the attempt had been unsuccessfully made. But
admitting that the report was garbled and incor-
rect, whose fault is that ? Why, the Coroner's, who
refuses to let notes, which would insure a correct re-
port, be taken—the Coroner's, who takes upon him-
self; _ _ _ _

in known defiance of law, to exclude an individual
from an open Court of Justice . I hope, however, that
on the next occasion of nu- Inquest of public im-
portance, some person will be found sufficiently

manly to dare the vengeance of this Coroner, to see
to what lengths he will venture to go, assured that,
in any course of proceeding which may be necessary
to uphold the right of any Englishman who chooses
it, to be present in a British Court of Justice, he will
meet with public support. For, let me tell Mr. MII.NE,
that the publicity of proceedingrtdote our Courtlis
necessary..—it is necessary toles the Public be assured
that Magistrates do their shit), ; it is mote especially
necessary, on such manilas as thartwanti that anth-
Magistrates as our's.(eoroner amongst the rest)
do their duty. And IL will (dither add, that, on Ate
.fnemer Inquests arising out of the events of the 16th
Plisse:4 had .clue diligence-been used in prison:lqt
indidenee, and due means been taken to ensure a cor-

feet public knowledge of their proceedings, the *-
sults, even if they had been the same, would not
ha* been looked to with the suspicion and dissatis-
faction with which they are now regarded.—All is
4det, and we bare nothing farther new.
AISOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.
(Front the Morning (kronick.)
I have just come from one of the most singularly
conducted Inquests that ever came to my knowledge.
I was prohibited from taking notes, every remon-
strance of mine on the subject, with my reference to
the practice uniformly prevalent elsewhere, and espe-
cially in London, being quite unavailing. The Inquest 11
was upon Robert Campbell, a constable, who was at-
tacked by the people upon the I7th of August, in
Newton-lane, in consequence of having fired a pistol
from his window. There were twenty-three witnesses
adduced, and for all of those the depositions were, I
was surprised to see, previously prepared and regularly
drawn up. They had therefore only to swear and to
sign them. Let me hope that some such industry will
be employed to elicit the truth in the case of Lees;
but the hope is, I fear, rather visionary. Mr. Ash-I
worth, 'a Barrister, who professed to act as Assessor
for the Coroner, addressed the Jury at considerable'
length, observing, that Campbell's pistol was not point-
ed at any one, but was merely fired to discharge the{
loading, and expressing his conviction that the verdict
*.qirould be " Wilful Murder against some persons un-'
known," while Taylor, the publican, from whose house
Itinipbell was dragged by the mob,would be acquitted.
this Taylor, with his brewer, has been in prison for
the last fortnight. The verdict was preiisely whit
Mr. Ashworth described. There were no strangers
admitted, but the attorney for Taylor, who
was allowed to take notes, as Mr. Ashworth said, for
his, ne, and three or four others. Mr. Ashworth was,
es I iidassiiii* is counsel for Taylor and his servant.
