the honor wtich had haft done hint ; It Was tfikli
eerier for him to return thanks fir himself; than it
had been for him td tenni) them for one absent. He
had al*iys been one of thbse who had staid-1.0/.ll*d
in support of King, Lords, and Co&thefts Ore was
not one of those patriots who held fOrth for the pur-
pose of promoting dissension, his object %ea unitiiinity:
The Noble Lord here took an opportunity of advert-
ing to the measure now pending, for the interchange
of the Militia of England and Ireland, which, he 'aide
would have the effect of proving to the It ish that the
English did not despise them, and asattring them
that they might have confidence in the nat:Pri.
The Noble Lord concluded with wiving, " The bide=
pendent Livery of London, who signed the Decidro
tion of the 4th of M , 1810."
Glee—" Glorious Apollo."
The next toast given was," General Graltarn, and
our brave army in Spain."--Song, Dignum, " The
Great Nation."
The next toast Was,lg Sir W. Curtis, Sir ',Shaw;
and Sir C. Price, and thanks to them for their con-
duct in Parliament on all occasions."
Sir W. CURTIS rose to return thanks for the honour
the Meeting had done him; this was a great day;
day on which the Cityhad asserted their independence
against those who had asserted what they pleased,
and said they were the sentiments of the City of Lon-
don. What had been the assertions of those per-
sons? They had said the House of Commons had
not the right of Committing their own Members for
contempt. What had been the opinion of the great
Judges of the land on this occasion ? Those Judges
were above suspicion—they had decided that the
House had the power of committing. He trusted,
however,
_notwithstanding these cries, we should con-
tinue to do our dutyvand prove we were Britons.
Sir Commas PRICE agreed in opinion with his
worthy Colleague; he had for upwards of 40 years
witnessed the efforts of the Livery of London in the
cause of constitutional freedom • and he trusted those
efforts would still continue. The Hon. Baronet ad-
verted to the conduct of the Prince, which, he said,
augured well as to what it would be when he was
, called to the Throne. •
Sir JAMES SHAW congratulated the Meeting on
the effects of their assembling this day, especially
when he considered that a Meeting, for purposes so
very different, had taken place a few days since.—
He thought, however, instead of meeting for com-
plaints, as had been the object of that Meeting, they
had cause to meet to congratulate each other on the
success which we had met with.
The health of the Chairman was then drank, who
returned thanks in a neat speech. Several other toasts
were drank, and the evening concluded with perfect
conviviality and good huhictur.

JUNJNINT.

James Lunn, Wm;. Lunn, John Lunn, and John
Lunn, jun. were brought up fur judgment, having
been convicted before Mr. Justice Grose, at Hunting.
don, of a conspiracy to persuade the Non-commis-
sioned Officers and privates of the garrison to permit
a quantity of straw to be conveyed into the garrison.
for the purpose of being manulaciured into plat hats,
by the French prisoners confined there John Lunn,
sea. and John Lunn, jun. together with Wm. Lunn,
were tried and found guilty, but James Lunn was not
at that time in custody ; he, however, since the pe.
riod of the trial surrendered, and pleaded guilty to
two indictments which were pending against him.
The Court, in pronouncing judgment, adverted to
this circumstance, and from the evidence adduced
at the trial, it appeared that William Lunn had bet n
the most active in his endeavours to bribe and sed..ce
the soldiers. The Court, therefore, sentenced him to
be imprisoned twelve months ; John Lunn, the father,
and John Lunn, the son, six months each ; and
James Lunn three months for each separate offence,
in Huntingdon gaol.

An unfortunate accident occurred on Wednesday
se'nnight, at Barntick, in Ireland, the seat of Sir J.
Peacocke, Bart. Miss G. Peacocke was about to take
an airing on horseback, when, in the moment of adjus.
ting herself on the saddle, the horse sprung forward,
and ran off with ungovernable speed. The unfortu-
nate rider, unable to restrain the animal by the power
of the reins, which she had not, in the agitation of
the moment, taken up properly, and, unable to pre-
serve her seat, was thrown with considerable violence,
by which she was so seriously injured as• to cause e
concussion of the brain. She expired on the follow-
ing_day.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT—Further acconnts—Yester-
day morning, about half past two o'clock, as the
watchmen belonging to the parish of St. Giles's in
the Fields, were going their rounds, in the vicinity of
the Seven Dials, they were suddenly alarmed at a
tremendous noise, and in- a few minutia discovered
that the house belonging to Mr. Hittings, the sign
of King Henry the Eighth, corner of Whitt Lion
and Great St. Andrew's-Street, Seven Dials, was fall-
ing down. The screams and cries of the inhabitants •
were dreadful,•as most of them were buried under the
ruins. The watchmen alarmed the neighbourhood,
and in a short time about 500 persons surrounded the
spot, many of whom set about digging, tie unfortu-
nate persons from their perilous situation. An old
man with an infant in his arms, dead, was the first
shocking spectacle that presented itself. The infant
had been brought to' the house only a few days be-
fore, to be weaned. - The bodies were immediately
conveyed to a public-house near the spot. The most
horrid groans were heard in the ruins,,but in cense-
cpence of some timber stopping up the way, the bo-
dies could not be got out for some time after. A
young man unfortunately received a spade on his
skull, and it is feared he will not survive; he, along
with four others in a dreadful mangled state, were
taken to the hospital, some of them with arms and
legs broken. An old woman, named Toogood, who
lodged in the second floor, being apprised of her data.
ger, threw herself out of the window, by which she
was so much hurt as to be taken to the hospital with-
out hopes of recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Hastings, who
kept the house, escaped with some slight bruises, as
the front of the house fell first, and their bed-room
being backwards, they had lust time enough to get
away. The workmen were employed the whole of
yesterday is digging the ruins, as it was not asset-
tained how many WWII* were slitting.
