Yesterday afternoon, a disgraceful scene occurred
in the Church of St. Margaret, Westminster. To
explain the matter, it is necessary to observe that the
situationof Afternoon Lecturer had become vacant by
the promotion of Mr. STEVENS (formerly Chaplain of
the House of Commons) to the Deanery of Roches.

and at the election last week, the Rev. Mr. SAUIF.
oozes, of St. Ann's, Blackfriars, was the successful
candidate: The Rev. Dr. FTNES, Prebend of Westmin-
ster .and Rector of St. Margaret's, has, however, re.
fused to him, with the concurrence of the Church-
-.
%wardens, the u%e of the pulpit, on the ground that Mr.
SAIIIIDERS is one of those Clergymen called methodis-
tical. Yesterday afternoon the Church was crowded
to excess. Mr. SAUNDERS was refused the'use of the
Vestry, and Mr. RODSRR, the Morning Preacher, ap-
proached the pulpit to preach. Instantly loud hisses,
yells, groans, and cries of " Shame, shame," pro-
ceeded from a great number of persons standing in'
the aisles of the Church : a horrible confusion and
alarm ensued : numbers sought their safety by get-
ting over the rails, particularly women and children,
and taking refuge literally at the altar. The Beadles
apprehended two persons after much contest. Seve-
.
rap Ladies fainted, and a great number of persons
quitted the Church. As soon as the uproar had
somewhat abated the Rev. Mr. RODBER proceeded in
the performance of his duty. No further interruption
was offered to the service, and at the conclusion the
Church clearedvery slowly, as some persons still ex-
pected that the Rev. Mr. SAUNDERS would address
them, but that Gentleman did not make his ap-
pearance.
Fit.sruzzic—Cla Tuesday evening last, Vickery,
one of the Bow-street Officers, arrived in York, in
quest of this man ; and, early the following morn-
ing, proceeded in a post chaise to Pocklington ; at
which place a strict search was made for him, but,
it was made in vain. Pocklington is the neighbour-
hood of his former residence, and he is well known
in York, having been in the habit of paying it an °c-
at:load visit' but for what purpose we know not.

4' Moir GRACIOUt Sovenetan,
" We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lon!
Mayor, Aldermen, and COMRIOII.I, of the City of London,
Common Council assembled, feeling ourselves cadet! epea ly
the exigencies of the times and country, beg leive mo humbly
add respectfully to approach your Majesty, to express to your
Majesty our profound regret at the measures pursued by your
Majesty's a Misters, so contrary to the spirit of ,he British
Constitution and the principles of universal justice, while they
are subversive of the liberties and ttue li:renege at the Nation
and of the honour and security of your Majesty's Throne.
0 The war which exhausted the wealth :oat ressierces of the
country has loag since terminateci ; yet, during a period of pro-
found peace, we have seen no off..etual retrenchment in the pub-
lic expenditure, but loan after loan again resorted to for the sup-
port of useless and preposterous establishments—afferding the
Means of the subjection of Parliament by the influence of Ali-
nisterial patronage, and the overawing of the People in the ex-
ercise of their just rights by unconstitutional military force.
" The discontent thus created, we lament to statl2', bas rot
been counteracted by your Majesty's Ministers, either by just
concessions or by such a liberal policy as is due to a free Teuple
from their governors; but, on the contrary, the laws have beeps
enforced with unprecedented severity, to the disgust and alarm
of your Majesty's faithful subjects; and, instead of obtaining
redress, coercive laws have been inuoduced into the Legislature
by those very Ministers to uphold their own makidmini•tration.
At the same time that the conduct of Ministers has tended to
excite the dissatisfaction of your People,•and to exas?erate that
dissatisfaction into acts of treason. those Ministers have so neg-
lected the Commercial and Agricultural Interests of the Nation,
that it is at Length become difficult to determine which of these
sources of. national prosperity is most impoverished ; aud, al-
though numerous Petitions of your Majesty's distressed subjects,
from &limn every class of industry, have been presented in suc-
cessive pin's to the several branches of the Legislature, yet the
People' remain without relief, or even the prospect of relief;
and your Majesty's Ministers seem as unwilling, from indiffer-
ence as -from want of political skill, to apply the necessary re-
medies to such complicated evils.
s‘ It JS with pain and reluctanCe that 'we allude to a subject
which ought never to bare been forced upon public, attention;
but the,. listjust and demoralizing proceedings ackuptMby your
Majesty's • Ministers, relative to your Royal Consorf,.having.
drawn forth the reprobation of the great body of the Tropic,.
weshould be guilty of a-dereliction of •our ditty to your•Reyal
Person and the interests of the Country,if we restiaitud oar
expression of indignation at this flagrant outrage upon the moral
and religious feelings.of the Nation, and forbore to represent to
your Majesty this prominent instance of their utter disregard of
public justice and of the honour of your Royal family. •
" The corrupt inducement offered to her Majesty to remain
abroad in the state of alleged criminality falsely ascribed to her;
—the submitting to the House of Peers, after the House of
Commons had pronounced the measure disappointing to the
hopes of Parliament, derogatory from the dignity of the Crown,
and injurious to the bests interests of the Empire, the results of
the disgraceful subornation procured under an odious Commit.
lion ;—the attempt to degrade her Majesty, and in her the whole
'House of Brunswick, by an vs post facto law, unconstitutional
In its nature and operation ;—the mockery of justice, in uniting
on the one hand, the functions of Accusers, Judges, and Jury,
'in the same persons, and withholding on the other the means of
defence—and all the preliminary steps leading to these disgrace-
ful proCeedings;—the- employment. of foreign Ministers and
Agents ,--the hiring of spies, corrupting of menials, and prejudg-
ing her Majesty by the omission of her name in the Liturgy, and
the 'withdrawing hei from the public prayers of the People; and
lastly, after the defeat of their malignant effort*, the arbitrary see
sumption of the sight of continuing to.her,Majesty, on their own
authority, an allowtnte out of the public money during the sitting
of Parliament, and the advising the abrupt prorogation of that
Parliament to prevent inquiry into these iniquitous proceedings,
and to obstruct her Majesty's appeal to the Representatives of
the People—are, severally, acts of perfidious and mischievous
policy Which we feel persuaded never could receive your Ma-
jesty's countenance bat through the abuse of your royal confi-
dence and which demand the immediate dismissal of those un-
worthy Ministers,• the contrivers and conductors of so foul a

conspliacy.
" We beg leave humbly to assure your Majesty, that Hose
representations are dictated by our sincere attachment to that
Constitution which seated your Majesty's august family on the
Throne of these Realms, by a sincere devotion to your Majesty's
person, and by an anxious desire to promote the future glories
of your reign; and in this spirit we conjure your Majesty, by
an auspicious change of councils and measures, to re-unite the
great family of the British People who have long been divided,
insulted, and oppressed, and which would continue your Ma-
jesty on a Throne, secured by their just affection, and rendered
no less glorious by the boundless resources of their industry.
" We, thereftre, humbly pray your Majesty.to dismiss from
your presenee.ina councils, for ever, those Ministers whose pet-
nide= measures have se long endangered the Throne, under-
mined the Constitution, and blighted the prosperity of the Nation.
" Signed, by Order of the Court,
" HENRY WOODTHORPE"

To which his MAJESTY was pleased to return the
following Answer:
It has been with the most painful feelings that Ihave hears
the sentiments contained in the Address and Petition now p-,
_ _ _ _

sented to me by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Cozni-aon
Council of the City of London.
" Whatever may be the motives of those by whom it is
brought fozward, its evident tendency is to inflame the passiocs
and mislead the judgment of the unwary and less enlightened
part of my subjects, and thus to aggravate all the difficulties with
which we have to contend."

Yesterday Divive Service was performed at a e
Kino's Palace in Pall-Mall, by the Rev. Dr. STANILa
CLARKE.

Yesterday the Duke of YORK visited the KING.
Should the.succession to the Throne ever open to
the infant daughter of his Royal Highness the Dnkc
of CLARENCE, England will have a second Euz
METH for its Queen. His MAJESTY had doubtless
this in view in desiring that the Royal Infant should
be so named. Should the anticipation be realized,
may future historians be able to say, that se ith the
name, the days of " Good Qua Um" are back
again !
