William Curds.bad given en the former occasion, in
which he pronounced the 'Princess of *ditto have
been horribly and abominably used, and that her hi..
nocence was unquestionable. He (Mr. Waithrain)
believed the present to be a foul conspiracy, trott*ht
forward to hunt her Majesty down, and from which
nothing could save her-bet the voice of a intend
generous nation. He then meals-iodated many of the'
insults her Majesty had endured, and strongly con-
tended it was his Majesty's duty to command her to
be prayed for by the Clergy, whom the people paid.
Mr. FAVaLL had often addressed the Livery when
-assembled to defend the- liberties of the people, and
nOw congratulated them on as ardently endeattvrin
to support the
,rights of the Crown. He
that a deputation of 100 Liverymen, with e
Mayor and Aldermen—(A laugh),—thould present
the Address. He. eulogized the character of Mn
Alderman Wood, as a Magistrate and a Represen-
tative of London, and especially for his conduct
lately, when he dared to do his duty.
The Resolutions were then put, and the five first:
were carried unanimously ; on the sixth,
Mr. Rowcxorr was surprised that they had met
on such an occasion, taking the matter with the
time ; but the truth was, they had not *the facts of
the matter before them. By passing this Address
they were trying two great parties; they were ac-
quitting.the Queen, but casting a very .great asper-
sion against his Majesty—(No, no! and Cr te)
Hi begged pardon, they were casting a stigma on
the Ministers of the Crown and Parfiament-1-(No,
no; we are foliotoing Me exampk of Parliament).—
Be was advocating the cause of nmparty ; but he
thought they ought not to proceed with this Address,
or give an opinion before trial.
Mr. Woo Lia then came forward and said, the
language of the last speaker was, that their Resolu-
tions were very good,'and did them a deal ofteredit ;
but for GOD'S sake to keep them to themselves. He
should not worrier to hiar a Prime Miniiter say to
them, ,4 Wait quietly until the Queen's head is cut \
off, and then express your opinions." They were cot
prejudging the case, but delivering their opinions as
to how it should be conducted; for the Secret Com-
mittee of the House of Lords was as bad as any Se-
cret Inquisition in any other country.
The LORD MAYOR called him to order. He would
do his duty while GOD gave him life, and he would
not sit there to hear the great Council of the Nation
degraded. •
Mr. WooLEa explained the words; that he did not
say the House of Lords was a Secret Inquisition, but
that the Committee was-4 Hear, hear, hear).
Alderman WAITHsiAN had used the same words
a hundred times in speeches and Resolutions, and
Petitions to Parliatnent,especially against Green Bag
Committees.
Atter some altercation and clamour, Mr. Wooiza
continued, and called upon them to interpose be-
tween the Queen and her accusers, without which he
fared she would have•no safeguard whatever. He
concluded by moving to direct their Representatives
to oppose every attempt at proceeding by a Green
Bag Committee of the House of Commons.
The sixth Resolution was then carried, as was the
Address, which was an echo of the Resolutions.
The thanks of the Hall _were then voted to Mr.
Alderman Wool), for his conduct with respect to the
Queen.

Alderman WooD came forward and said, that the
cause of his remaining silent in the House of Com-
n►ons, and in the Common Council latterly, was, that
froM his peculiar situation, he was in possession of
hos which rendered silence, for the ptesent advise:.
able. The time might came when he must speak out;
but at present, ndtwithstanding the taunts and sneers
which were thrown out against him in the House of
Commons, he should still continue silent ; and it was
this motive which led him to abstain from attending
public dinners, that he might not be called on
to express himself on the subject—(Loud applause).
lie was, . however, in possession of the particulars
respecting her Majesty, and the attempts whichwere
made to keep her from revisiting this country many
months before her arrival here; and with this know-
ledge he declared that there was not an independent
man in the kingdom who would not have acted as
he had. Therefore, On that account, he took no
merit to himself for what he had done; which, al-
though it might not be done with " absolute wis-
dom !" was done with an honest intent and pure heart
—(Loud applause).—He bad abstained from giving
any opinion but one,. which was, that the Queen
should never leave this kingdom, and the -moment
she did so, she compromised her honour for ever—
(Loud applause).—And he should have opposed the
vote even of a shilling being given to her in the
House of Commons---(Cheers).----The worthy Alder-
man concluded by returning thanks for the honour
done to him.

Just as the Hall was about to be dissolved, at four
o'clock, a soldier belonging to the Life Guards was
seen at the great entrance to the Hall, and he sent, in
a note to the Loan MAYOR, requesting to know whe-
ther the services of the Life Guards were called.for,
as a troop of them were now stationed in Holborn by
special orders? The LORD MAYOR seat no answer,
but put the note in his pocket. He was instantly
questioned by Mr. GRIFiITII3, and other Liverymen,
by whose orders this had been done, but he smiled
and seemed extremely anxious to avoid an answer,-
The Gentlemen of the Livery were not, however, to
he trifled with, but determined to have an answer
before his Lordship should leave the Hall. At last,
with great reluctance, his Lordship confessed that he
bad himself secretly sent for them. It is needless to
add, that this unconstitutional and unprecedented act
excited univerial indignation. The LOAD, MAYO/
was immediately assailed with hisses, groans, and
other marks of public displeasure, which it would
be utterly impossible to give any description of,
The noise in the Hall was immediately hisrd with-
out, and the Loan MAYOR was followed Trom the
door of Guildhall to the Mansion House, by such
shouts of di Ron as perhaps were hardly ever
witlitssed in the City. The crowd rapidly increased
as the state carriage necessarily moved very slowly.,
The popular indignation was undoubtedly equal this
day to anything which occurred during the prover-
bially unpopular Mayoralty of Mr. Alderman AT-
It INS. Such an outrage on the privileges of the Livery
became the subject of much discussion among the
Members of the Corporation and the Citizens in go.
'waif by all of whom it war highly reprobated. .
