GUILDII,ILI,.

Yesterday, after the business of swearing in the
new Sheriffs, had been disposed of,
The Lotto MAvou stated, that he bad convened
the Hall for the purpose of presenting to the Gentle-
men of the Livery her Majesty's most gracious Answer
to the Addiess of the 30th June.

• The Answer, which has already appeared in our
Paper, was then read, and warmly applauded.
Mr. FA veit. would only detain the hall by moving
that the most gracious Answer received from her
Majesty should be entered upon the Journals. It
could• not fail to be most consolatory and most
pleasing to the Livery to hear that the noble, the un-
bounded confidence which her Majesty had placed
in the generosity and in the discernment of the people
of England suffered no diminution, and had been at-
tended by no disappointment—•(Applause).--lt
would not be too much, he thought, to say, that the
eneinit,s of that Illustrious Lady, through the whole
of their machinations, had discovered weakness as
pitiable as their malignity—( .4pplausc).—As a citizen,
and in common with those whom he was addressing,
he recollecteJ, and proudly recollected, that it was
the Livery cf London who first expressed those sen-'i
timents of respect and affection towards the Queen
which had since been echoed and re-echoed by thou-
sands, he might say by millions, of their fellow-
countrymen. This, however, was no new instance;
for it had always been the glory of the Citizens of
London to stand forward in support of the victim to
oppression—to be foremost in the cause of justice
and humanity. Ile meant net to utter one word in
the way of disrespect against the highest. Authorities
of the country, particularly against the Law Autho-
cities ; it had seldom been even suspected in England
that any stain polluted the pure stream of the admi-
nistration of justice; but it was that very truth which
caused him to feel serious, humbled, and distressed,
when he reflected that the very answer given by the
Judges of the land—the very answer which negatived
the commission of any crime by the party accused
against the laws of the country—that very negative
had been made the foundation of the present pro-
ceeding. Mr. Favell concluded by congratulating
the Meeting upon the choice of their Sheriffs, and
by Moving that her Majesty's most gracious Answer
should be entered upon the proceedings of the Com-
mon Hall.

The Resolution being carried by acclamation.
The LORD MAYOR desired that the Hall should
be dissolved, and the Crier was proceeding accord-
ingly, when—
'Mr. Twins presented himself.
'The LORD MAYOR apprehended that the Hall was
dissolved, and that Mr. Tipper was out of order.
Mr. TIPPER was certain that the Lord Mayor
would not refuse to hear him, especially as he pro-
posed to animadvert upon his (the Lord Mayor's)
conduct—(Applatemr aid lategfrisr).—tle had only tiro
questions to put to his Lordship. Erg, why Cop-

mon Hall had not been called at atiearlier period?)
And, secondly, why fair and proper notice had not
been given of the present Meeting ? If such due no-
tice had been given, instead of the few personswhom
he was now addressing, there would'have been such
a Hall as the Livery of London perhaps had never
beheld. The Lord Mayor ought at least to state his
reasons for having omitted to take that course to
which he was equally bound by respect to the Queen
and by duty to the Livery—(Loud applause).

The LORD MAYOR, upon rising, was assailed by
hisses. His Lordship commanded silence, and as-
sured the Meeting that he knew of no form which
had been neglected in convening the Hall. He had
ordered the Hall to be regularly summoned, and had
no objection to state to the whole world the motive
which had induced him to summon it upon the pre-
sent day. Remembering thit there had not been any
Common Hall at which the Answer of her Majesty
could be received, it had occurred to him as possible,
that an attempt might be made to introduce it upon
the ensuing day, when, as he believed, the Livery
could only, legally, proceed in the election of a
Mayor. In order to avoid any trouble'. jrom conflict-
ing opinions, he had called the present Meeting. If
there had been any neglect in the manner of summon-
ing the Meeting, that neglect had not lain with him.
Mr. TIPPER said, that if the Livery was satisfied
with the explanation of the Lord Mayor, it became
him to be satisfied too-4 Cries of 66 We are not.")
Well, then, some one was to blame in the business,
and the Lord Mayor ought to name the party. The
evil ought to be traced to its source—{Applause).
The Loan MAYOR.—The Hall is dissolved.

11re Crier then dissolved the Meeting; and, on
coming to the " GOD save the King," the Hall echoed
with the shout of " and the Queen r'

A loug altercation afterwards took place between
the LORD M.tyon and Mr. TIPPER, in which his Lord-
ship declared that he " was not afraid of anybody:'
The Hall broke up at half-past-one
