MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF ST.
LEONARD, SHOREDITCIL

Yesterday evening, a very numerous and respect-
able Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of the
above populous Parish was held in the Church, pur-
snant to a Requisition delivered to the Churchwar-
dens, .‘ to take into consideration the continued
alarming and most scandalous insults and persecutions
against the QueEN's Most Excellent MAJESTY, and
to atkress her accordingly with flesh assurances of
attachment. fidelity, and support."
Soon after five o'clock the Church was literally
crammed, and Mr. ROBERT PEARCE, the Upper War-
den, was unanimously called to the Chair.
The ('ItAIRMAN opened the Meeting by reading
the Requisition convening the same, which was nu-
merously and respectably signed. He implored the
Meeting to conduct themselves with decorum, there
being a certain set of men present who came on par-
pose to create a riot; he therefore begged to warn the
Meeting, and put them on their guard against those
vie characters—(Groans, and crim of Turn them out!)
The Rev. Mr. BLACKBURN, amidst a din of tumult,
attempted to address the Meeting. At length the
A.:Hamm/in in some degree abated the clamour, and •
'Jr. BLA' KBURN begged to ask the Chairman whether
he could pledge his word that the whole of the
hearers comprising the Meeting were parishioners or
no., and whether they were fit and competent to vote
an ve,try?—(liciterafeddioirts afdisapprobation )
Mr. LAWRENCE rose to order, and conjured them
not to create any Disturbance, but hear every person
with i miairtiality—(Lond applause).
The Rev. Mr. Pettey, in coming forward to read
the Resolutions on which the Address was founded,
said, the very stones of the street almost cried out
against those men, who are a disgrace to the name,
who injure and daily insult our magnanimous Queen.
The English language could scarcely furnish words
bad enough to express their villainy. He concluded
by reading a series of Resolutions, on which the Ad-
dress was founded.

Mr. PEARCE, jun. in seconding the Resolutions,
called the attention of the Meeting to the indignities
offered to the Queen, previous, to, at, and after the
Coronation.

The Rev. Mr, BLACKBURN again came forward,
and proposed as an Amendment, 44 That all further
pr,ceedings in favour of the Queen were uncalled for
and unnecessary, from the parish of St. Leonard,
Shoteditch"—(Hissesfrom all parts of the Church).
CHAIRSIAN then put the Amendment to a spew
of hands, when about four appeared in favour of it.
The original Resolutions were then carried amidst
loud and reiterated applause.
The Rev. Mr. PERCY then read the Address, and
moved that it be delivered to Alderman Wood, to be
presented to her Majesty, which was seconded by
Mr. LINDSEY.
After a long altercation between the Rev. Mr.
BLACKBURN and the CHAIRMAN, the Meeting very
peaceably dispersed.

WESTMINSTER HALL' AND ABBEY. •

Since the day of his MAJESTY'S Coronation, West-.
minster Hall has been open to public view until
Wednesday, when it closed by order of the Lord Great
Chamberlain. During this period it his been calcu-
lated
that not less than six hundred thousand persons
haVe been admitted ; and it is a fair calculation to
suppose not less then one million must have seen it,
when it is considered that daring one week the Great
Chamberlain's Secretary issued 40,000 tickets.
It is pleasing to remark that not the slightest acci-
dent has occurred, and that the utmost good order
and good humour were shewn by all parties.
The doors of the Abbey were also closed against
the further admission of visitors, and the business of
dismantling the works erected for the late ceremo-
nial will forthwith be proceeded in. The streets and
avenues in the vicinity having resumed their pristine
appearance, and.being occupied with their customary
proportion of passengers and inhabitants, presented
yesterday an aspect of great apparent dulness and
desolation, from the contrast with that busy, bustling
gaiety and activity of which thef had
.for so many
weeks past been made the scene by the crowds of
eager and curious spectators, who in constant and un-
broken succession continued to flock in immense
numbers to the view of the theatre of the Corona-
tion Pageant, up to the latest hour on Wednesday at
which it remained open for inspection. All the bar-
riers to the several approaches, and the posts and
railt which marked the avenues to the various routes
laid down for the visitors of different descriptions on
the day of the ceremony, have been taken away ; the
grand platform along which the procession passed
from the north door of Westminster Hall to the
western entrance of the Abbey, has been entirely e-
move.] ; the Champion's stable has wholly disap-
peared ; the temporary covered way, which formed
the passage for the Princesses and Peeresses into the
Abbey, by Poets'-corner; has been taken down ; of
the various galleries, booths, and pavilions erected
for the accommodation of spectators, the only ones
still remaining, are that in front of the Westminster
Sessions House, which the workmen were yesterday
busily employed in taking down, and the Royal
Central Pavilion, occupying the gardens in Parlia-
ment-square, which has been stript of its roof, and of
the cloth and matting which covered the seats.—
The scaffoldings which were-erected in the fronts of
the adjacent houses have all been taken down, and
bricklayers, masons, carpenters, and painters, are
busily engaged in repairing the damages occasioned
to the buildings by their erection ; and in a few days
more not a vestige will remain of all the pomp and
circumstance of that gorgeous Coronation, which was
got up at such an immense cost, which consumed so
many months in preparation, mad which for so many
weeks engrossed the whole time and attention of the
vast major ity of the inhabitants of this great kingdom.

MR. GREEN'S ACCOUNT OF MS SECOND
AEI-ailL VOYAGE.

" About halfpast three o'clock the balloon was re-
moved, by my orders, to the most favourable situa-
tion in the ground, to prevent the car striking against
some very elevated buildings adjoining. Fortunately,
however, there was a sufficient power of gas to carry
the balloon more than 15 feet above the top of the
building. The weather the whole of the day was
very unfavourable for the ascent, owing to the hazi-
ness of the atmosphere.
" Having fastened the mooring ropes which held the
balloon to the earth, I mounted the car, and stand-
ing upright theiein, with a flag in each hand, I gave
the signal for -ascending, and, having made my obei-
sance to the Ladies and Gentlemen who were around
me, the balloon then ascended to the atmosphere in
the most majestic manner. The delight felt by the
thousands who witnessed the grand spectacle was
manifested by the most tremendous shouts of applause,
clapping of hands, and waving of handkerchiefs.
" The balloon took at first a north-easterly direction..
It passed over Horton, Hackney, and made towards
the Essex coast. Precisely seven minutes after the
balloon left the Belvidere Gardens it entered a very
dense cloud, and immediately the earth was obscured
completely from my view, though I still heard the
shouts of the popillace at Hackney and in the neigh-
bourhood. On the balloon entering the cloud it was
l 3 minutes to four o'clock, and the barometer stood
at 24..2-10ths. I understand that the balloon re•
mained in the sight of the spectators at the Belvidere
precisely seven minutes.
" On passing through the clouds I felt very chilly,
and was covered with slew or mist, precisely the same
as if I was in a very thick fog, except that it did not
at all affect the stomach, as fogs generally do. When
the balloon was at its greatest altitude the thermo-
meter stood at 65. The density of the clouds was
so very extraordinary that at one period I could
scarcely distinguish the flag that was on the opposite
side of the car.
_ _ .

At a quarter, to four having risen very rapidly,
after going through the cloud, the glass stood at
21-10ths. This was the utmost height the balloon
reached, and the light and heat was quite oppressive
to me, the former more than the latter; and although
the clouds were rolling beneath me, representing to
my view a sea of white down, yet above me the sun
shone with extreme brilliance.
At fifteen minutes before four o'clock I opened
the valve to its utmost extremity, and I descended
most rapidly. Having passed through the clouds 1
heard the shouts of persons on the earth, and saw
some riding and others running, in the direction
which the balloon was taking. At ten minutes be-
fore four o'clock the balloon descended (having been
twenty minutes precisely on its voyage, in which pe-
riod of time it had travelled 14 miles) in a six acre
field belonging to Mr. Grout, a farmer, at Tan-yard
Farm, Bat king Side, two miles from Ilford, in Essex.
,g A number of the peasantry assisted in securing
the balloon ; but while in the hurry of detaching it
from the net which covered the balloon, the wind
blew strong, when it escaped from their grasp, and
again ascended to the atmosphere, to the height of
about 2,000 feet, but fortunately the valve was open,
and it descended again within about a mile and a half
from where it rose, without sustaining any injury.
" Goswell-street. " C. GREEN."
Mr. Green took a carrier pigeon with him, and
the momentehe descended he wrote on a payer—,, Ten
minutes to four, descended quite safe near Barking,
Esscx."—This note he tied to the foot of the bird, and

lit arrived in the City-road before sir o'clock, when
.the gratifying intelligence was communicated to Mr.
Green's wife, family, and frien&. A number of
Gentlemen paid Mr. Green the most polite attention
on his descent, and, in particular, It. Wesley Hall,
Esq. the Sheriff, took him to his house, and treated
him in the most hospitable manner. After dinner
Mr. Green placed his balloon in a post-chaise at Il-
ford, and the car on the roof, and arrived safely at
the Belvidere between ten and eleven O'clock, where
he was received with the loudest cheers by a large
concourse of persons. He afterwards supped with
about 200 Gentlemen.
