CRIPPLEGATE WARD MEETING.

Yesterday a Meeting was held in St. GilesisChurch,
Cripplegate; Alderman Worm in the Chair.,
The wow thy Alderman stated, that this was a Meet-
ing 'called in consequence of a Requisition, most re-
spectably signed, to take into consideration the pro-
priety of presenting Petitions to Parliarnent, praying
the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy,
and to the full enjoyment of all her rights and privi-
leges. He hoped that the same temper and tranquil.
lity which had always marked the proceedings or
that Ward would be observed on the present occa-
sion, and that every Gentleman would get a fair and
impartial hearing--( Hear, hear).
Mr. NEWELL then z.Ccpped forward to propose some
Resolutions, expressive of the object for -which they
were assembled. It was most singular to observe,
that although the odious Bill of Pans and Penalties
had been abandoned, the same malignant spirit had
been pursued towards the Queen. Nothing could be
more unjust than to punish or condemn any one pre-
vious to their trial. This had been the conduct used
towards the Queen. The worthy Gentleman eulo-
gized the noble spirit of the people of England—
that people so much reviled, called emphatically
" the vulgar rabble." But that same people had
compelled them to relinquish their favourite shew—
the Coronation—(Hear).— The people only re-
quired energy to make their voice sound like thunder.
He concluded by observing, that he felt peculiar sa-
tisfaction in bringing forward the Resolutions. The
worthy Gentleman then proposed a series of Resolu:
tionc, expressive of the propriety of petitioning Par-
liament, to provide a suitable residence for her-Ma-
jesty, restore her name to the Liturgy, and to all the
rights and privileges of the Queen Consort of these
Realms— her Majesty having, in the eyes of the na-
tion; been fully acquitted of all the foul charges
against her life and honour. The'Petition was read,
'slaying that Honourable House to bring the conspi-
rators to justice—which, with the Resolutions, were
unanimously carried.
Mr. STEPHENS conceived, that the latter part of
the conduct pursued by Ministers 'was infinitely worse
than anything that had bear. before attempted. Pre-
vious to the trial there might be some ground to sup-
pose that the Queen had been guilty of conduct up-
becoming the Queen of these Realms ; but now that
the Public has seen all the foul charges vanish be-
fore the blaze of truth, one would suppose that these
men would cease their persecutions, and retire in con-
fusion. But, no; they immediately prorogue the Par-
liament for the sole purpose of gaining time 'to pre-
pare fresh accusations, and to suffer time to allay the
public ferment. But an their machinations would prove
fruitless: they never can bring into contempt this
Illustrious Woman, who stands so deservedly high in
the opinions of the whole nation. The people of Eng-
land always oppose oppression. In this instance they
had forgotten their own wrongs, great and manifold,
as they were, to support a stranger, because they
knew she Was oppressed. The worthy Gentleman
deprecated, in the strongest terms, those men who
skulked into holes and corners to get up Loyal Ad-
dresses. They were Ultra-Loyalists—they wereße.
volutionists—men who wished to overturn the Go-
vernment—who supported the King as a Priest would
an idol, because they fattened on the worship. Among
them there Was no liberality of sentiment ; their only
effort was to divide the country, to convert the Go-
vernment into a despotism, instead -of being, as it

has long been, 'the admiration of the World. Jut
'there was another mode of proceeding adopted lately
by the hireling Press of this country—he alluded to
the slanders
ndsitatthdoseail
the Queen. No man could be ignorant
.of the 111aPustriPearedous LianditelsewMhionivstisenalited
mag-
nanimous conduct of the House of Leinster ; and yet
the Duchess of Leinster could not escape these cow-
ardly slanderers; but it was their duty to protect
them, and it was for this purpose that he proposed
the warmest thanks of this Meeting to the Duchess
of Leinster—(Loud cheering).
At the suggestion of Mr. Jouws, Common Coun-
cilman, it was proposed that the Marchioness of Ta-
vistock should be included, upon which the following
amendment was put and carried with acclamation:
" That the .*nest and most grateful Thanks of this Meet-
ing are due, and are hereby given, to the Duchess of Leinster,
the Marchioness of Tavistock, the Countess of Jersey,. Lady
Anne Itanilltop, and the other Illustrious Ladies, for their kind
and suirendttini attention is her Majesty since her arrival in
skis country."
Mr. STEPHENS observed, that while mentioning the
names of these Illustrious Ladies, lie could not forget
an individual to whom the Queen was indebted for
an asylum in this country : he would therefore move,
" The Thanks of the Meeting to Matthew Wood, Seq. for
his independent and patriotic conduct in and out of Parliament,
as well as kis vcryyroper conduct in the Chair."
This was received with the warmest approbation.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, be was really at a loss
for words to express his gratitude for all the kindness
they had so repeatedly shewn him. it was that Ward
that first introduced him into pubNc life, and his at-
tachment now was as strong as it had ever been.—
They had always evinced the greatest public spirit
on every occasion where the liberties of their country
or the digresses of their fellow-creatures were con-
cerned—(Neer, hear).—With respect to the Queen,
he had often said, and he would now repeat it, that
when he went out to meet her, he had never calcu-
lated on the great advantages that would result to
the nation at large. He merely went out because be
knew she was a much-injured woman; that she was
possessed of the most magnanimous disposition, with
a heart endowed with the finest feelings of humanity,
and inclined to render the greatest services ; and that
all her 'generous actions were made subservient to
the cruel and malignant motives of her persecutors.
He knew that terms were offered to keep her out of
the country, and that she would get any terms she
demanded to stay away—(Hear, hear).—lt was on
these grounds that he determined to go out and meet
her, and give her his humble advice to come to Eng-
land and meet her accusers. They would all have
done the same. There was not a man around him
that would not do the same. He only did his duty
—(Hear).—He wished to make a few observations
on what had fallen from a Learned Gentleman about
the Ministerial Press :—he had the greatest respect
for the Press, for be was sure that her Majesty
was indebted for her present safety, in a great
measure, to the Press, and even to that part of the
Press which teemed with the most unblushing calum-
nies. All their mean and pitiful slanders only reverted
on themselves, and raised the Queen still higher in
public favour—(Hear, hear).—One of these Papers
.ttated, that the Duchess of Leinster, in consequence
of something improper she had observed respecting
her Majesty, had discontinued her visits. And what
was the consequence? Why, that magnanimous
Lady, the moment she beard of it, although within
three or four days of her confinement, went to visit
the Queen, and expressed the greatest satisfaction at
being able to visit her previous to her confinement—i
(Hear, hear).—So that, even in that instance, the'
Ministerial Press had materially served the cause of
the Queen—(Much approbation).—And the vote of
thanks which had been passed there to-day to that
distinguished female, should be followed up through
the whole nation —(Loud cheering).—He wished to
assure the Meeting, that nothing would induce her
Majesty to quit the country. This she mentioned to
every one that visited her--(Hear, hear).-'-No in-
ducement, no threat, no intimidation, nothing could
operate on her mind. She knew the hearts of the
People were with her, and she defied her calumnia-
tors—(Cheers).—Before he concluded, he wished to
remind the Gentlemen, that they had not instructed
him to support their Petition in the House of Corn-
'mons ; but he supposed they thought it unnecessary.
In that they were right, for, he assured them, they
would always find him, on all occasions, ready to for-
ward and support their interests—(Much approbation).
The Meeting then adjourned.

In -consequence of a Requisition, signed nume-
reusly and respectably, and addressed to Sir RICHARD
CARR GLYN, Bart. Alderman of this Ward, a Meeting
of the Inhabitants was yesterday held at•the London
Workhouse, Bishopsgate-street, at which, in the
absence of the worthy• Alderman, caused by severe
indisposition, Mr. Deputy GRERNAWAY presided,
when Petitions to both Houses of Parliament were
agreed to, praying them to resist any attempt to in-
stitute further proceedings against her Majesty the
Queex, and to take such measures, as in their wis-
dom shall seem meet, for procuring the insertion of
her MAJESTY'S name in the Liturgy, and putting her
MAJESTY into immediate and full possession of all
those rights and dignities• which belong to her MA-
JESTY as Queen Consort of this realm.

Thursday a Meeting of the Inhabitant Household-'
ers of Croydon and its vicinity was held at the Town
Hall of Croydon, in order to consider of the pro-
priety of an Address to his MAJESTY, " expressive
of attachment to his Royal person and Government,"
and also of a firm determination to support our free
and invaluable Constitution." This Address was
moved and seconded, but it was negatived, and one
substituted for it, declaratory of their affection to his
MAJESTY'S person, but of their abhorrence of the
recent measures of his Ministers ; particularly in ap-
proving of the massacre at Manchester, and in bring-
ing forward the late unjustifiable prosecution against
his ill-used and magnanimous Consort.
COMPLETE RADICALS.--We think Messrs. Sivz-
WRIGHTeI the Contractors for the present popular
Lottery, ought to be termed•Compkte Radicals, as
they have almost extinguished Blanks, made double
the Number of Prizes there usually are, and given
the unprecedented Number of Nine 021,000 Prizes!
In fact, such a Radical Reform in the Lottery system
bas been effected, that they deserve well of their
Country, and,- no doubt, they will be rewarded, and
that soon, as the Drawing begins the 23d, the day
when- Parliament meet, on which day, at least Three
.021P00 must be drawn.
