Mairatou-Houss.--Yesterday, Widdington, the
orator and bill-sticker, appeared at theTtlansinn-
House to complain of the following bill being pulled
down after it had been' posted up in different parts.

bican, to Bonk upon the propriety of presenting an Address of
Condolence to the King, ups* the loss of that niost•noble-minded
and virtuosi Lady, Cecelia., his late Consort, sad uncrowned,
sahnisniated, peneorted, and broken-hearted Ibsen.
Te a Prince whose hart is corrupt, it is in vain so weal ;
but if Ids heart be not corrupt, truth will find an easy ingression
threw& the understanding to it:—Bolingbroke."
Waddington, having caught the eye of the Loan,
MATOR, notwithstanding the very slight eminence!
which his head reached above the table, begged, in
the most respectful manner, to be allowed to-describe
a very improper and unconstitutional attack upon,
one of the most valuable privileges of the Citizens

of London.
The LORD MAYOR expressed his regret that there 1
should be any fresh cause of complaint, but hoped
that, whatever might be the injury to the bulk of the
Citizens, Mr. Waddington was cwt a sufferer to any
extent beyond the loners' sympathies which mani-
fested themselves in times of peril amongst the friends

of the Constitution.
Waddington held tip a placard, of which the above
is a copy, read aloud the contents in an indignant
tone, and. with a disregard for the ceremony of-pro-
nunciation, wheat proved the sincerity of his feelings,
Lend—l aspen for my country. I ask your Lordship,
is there anytidng in that placard offensive to decency, to order,
oceri cowmen leuse ? Is there anything objectionable in it?
Dees it roes-oar there is any design against the State, either
yf conspiracy or otherwise? In the name et the-Loss, what
we recall abootr
The LORD Maroa.—" It would be hard for some 6f us to
answer your last question, Mr. Waddington ; but as fares regards
tie placard, I can see no harm in it."
WaddinEton.-0 Weil, my Lord, I now come to my point.
We, the friends of the late Queen, the friends of.- the present
Kin, and of the Old Constitudon, lave thought it our duty to
call a Public Meeting. We wish to represent to his Majesty the
sorrow we feel at the loss of the Queen, and that we are confi-
dent the sympathies of the People will in some measure abate
his grief, for grief, like an empire, is destroyed by helm shared
by many. We rely upon the submission of his Majesty, under
the dispensations of Pioneer :cm already efbibited to us upon
many trying occasions, and mean to heal the animosities which
were raised so such a height even over the tomb of the Qum
With the view of getting together as many of the friends of good
order as possible, we sent round the city a peat with orders to
place this notification against the walk. Now here is the mis-
chief of which we ownplatn. No sooner is a placard put up,
than a fellow, within industrious spirit which would have slept
upon a good ocasices, tsars it down, and this the Moen of ear
servant are rendered Odd to Men, and unprofitable es sso.-
Now I want sa authority as prevent such a violationet the !dTogged the Mulls London"
LORD :neon, who heartily enjoyed this extra-
ordinal scene, assured Waddington that he could
' not exercise any authority to prevent the offensive
conduct of vetch be complained. His Lordship re-
peated,,tbat be saw no harm in the placard ; but if
the indestrious fellow who stuck so close to the heels
of the bill-sticker, and spoiled his labours, were bold
enough to persevere, notwithstanding the remon-
strances of Mr. Waddington, that fellow must one of
those days suffer most severely from--the compunc-
tions of his conscience.
Waddington, perfectly satisfied with this interview,
bowed to the LORD MAYOR, took up his hat (round
which had been tied a piece of old crape), and left
the Justice-room.
GUILDHALL.—Ten Italians, consisting of men,
women, mid children, were placed at the bar, charged
with assaults and rioting. the previous evening at the
Horse and Groom, Hosier-lane. Fairfax, the land-
lord, stated, that a large party of Italian; among
whom were the prisoners, assembled at his house on
Monday evening, bringing with them a male and
female fiddler. Dancing commenced about 9 o'clock,
and continued until nearly twelve, when he told
them they must leave off; however they insisted on
continuing ; twice he put the lights out, and they re-
lit them. He, however, succeeded at last in clearing
the room, and locking the door. The party then
began, to separate, and many of them went away. The
pnsoners, however, would not depart, but secured
their retreat into a back room, and set him at de-
fiance. A party of watchmen were at length sent
for, and a regular siege was laid to the room, which
was at last entered, when the prisoners beat them
with pewter pots, which the females banded to them.
Rosetta Grandi, a girl scarcely eleven years old, was
described as more particularly active in furnishing
this sort of ammunition. The prisoners, at length
finding themselves nearly overpowered, set all the
spirit-cocks a running. About a dozen pewter pots,
bent into all manner of shapes, were produced ; and
about half that number of watchmen, with black
eyes or broken heads, bore testimony watchmen,
the violence
of the contest, which did not terminate till nearly
three o'clock in the morning. •Williams, one of the
watchmen, who bore marks of violence on his coun-
tenance, corroborated the landlord's .statement, as to
the outrageous conduct of the prisoners, to its fullest
extent. Mr. Alderman &town at length gave the
prisoners their option to retire to accommodate the
business, or give bail for the Sessions. The former
alternative was accepted, and the parties were dis-
charged. The Alderman then addressing the land-
lord, informed him, that he should feel it his duty to
represent to the Alderman of the Ward the impro-
, pnety of his conduct, in letting out his house to par-
ties of this description, and be did not doubt but that
he might set his account with losing his licence.
Untos-HaLL.--Yesterday, Mr. Candicke,' an un-
dertaker, carrying on business in Redcross-street, in
the vicinity of the Office, was brought up in custody,
[ oncharge of making away with the body of Ed-
ward Lee, a convicted felon, whom be was employed
to bury. The case excited such'extraordinary inte-
rest, that the Office and every avenue leading w it,
as well as the neighbourhood of the accused's dwell-
ing-house, were at an early hour in the morning be.
sieged by immense 'crowds. The examination was
conducted in the private room, before Sir JOHN PIN..
HORN, •••-•••• HEDGER, and D. KING Up. Magis-
trates, and J. Smart, Esq. High Sheriff of Surrey.
It appeared Wit Edward Lee was convicted it the
late Surrey Assizes held at. Croydon, of a highway
robbery, on the person of Joseph Spicer, foreman to
Mr. Marriott, of Fleet-street, attended with very ag-
gravated circumstances. On Monday morning, the
10th instant, he was executed on the top of Horse-
