POOLE, DECEMBER 9.

It Meeting of the Corporation was held here yes-
terday, for the purpose of voting a loyal Address to
his MAJESTY, which, however, was not numerously
attended. An Address, replete with expressions of
zeal and attachment, having been proposed, the fol-
lowing Amendment was moved by CHRIsTOPLIER
SPURRIZE, Esq.
While we commend the prudence which dictated the with-
drawing the late Bill of Pains and Penalties, we cannot help
deeply lamenting that the feelings of the Nation should have
been so wantonly outraged by the introduction into the Upper
House of Parliament of a measure so derogatory to the honour
and dignity of the Crown; so injut lous to Kingly government
in general; so inimical to the best principt; of our boasted
Constitution ; and ftatight, moreover, with so great and such
' imminent danger to the internal peace and tranquillity of the
country; we also cannot help regarding your Majesty's Minis-
ters, who are constitutionally responsible for the introduction cif
this dangerous and mischievous Bill, as the greatest enemies to
your Majesty's Person and Family; and we fervently hope that
your Majesty will mark your personal disapprobation of their
conduct, by excluding them from your Majesty's Counsels and
presence for ever.
This being seconded by a most respectable Gentle-.
man, a Member of the Corporation, an animated
discussion ensued, at the close of which the Amend-
ment was negatived, the numbers being 16 for it,
and 21 for the original Address. Seven Gentlemen
connected with the department of -the Customs, and
one a Commissioner of the Lottery, are included in
the majority. A Meeting of the Inhabitants,con-
vened by the High Sheriff of the Town and County,
is to be held on Monday, for the purpose of address-
ing his MAJESTY.

His MAJESTY has been pleased to order One Hun-
dred Guineas to be paid to the subscription for the
widows and orphans of the six riggers, who were un-
fortunately drowned on the 9th ult. when on their re-
turn to the Dock-yard, from the Isle of Wight.

A. woman of the name of MIYMFORD, in the Mino-1
ries, has, within these few days., paid the debt of
nature at the advanced age of 108 ! She retained
all her faculties to the last. She was a remarkably
intelligent woman, and was much esteemed in the
neighbourhood.
