LONCON BRIDGE.
Sir F. BLAKE presented a Petition from Mr. Dodd,
calling the attention of the House to the present state of
London Bridge, which was such, that if suffered to eon-
tinue, it would be injurious to the cotnmeree of the
River. The Hon. Megaber said, in bringing Gel: for-
ward he was not animated by a desire to attend to
any local of private interest, lint by a sincere nisi'
to favour that which would tend to promote the general
prosperity of the country. The petitioner prayed to be
allowed to prove before a Select Committee the troth of
the facts stated in his Petition, and suggested that the
four city Members and the Members of the other Mari-
time Towns in England should be on the Committee.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
PETITION FROM CAMBRIDGE.

Lord F. OSBORNE presented a Petition, described
to he that of.the Bankers, Merchants, and Trailers of the
town of Cambridge, praying for the restoration of the
Queen's name to the Liturgy, and an inquiry i:ito the
conduct of Ministers with respect to the Milan t out-
mission.
Colonel FRENCH said, if the Petition hail been
presented as that of the undersigned inhabitants of
Cambridge, he should not have had a word to say on
the subject, but being presented as that of the
Bankers, Merchants, and Traders of Cambridge, be
felt it to be his duty to give the House some idea of
the character of the ineetine at which it hail been
voted and the manner in which it had been up.
lie would do this and then leave the House to deter-
mine whether this Petition had a right to claitn the
character which it had assumed. A meeting► had
been called by certain persons whose political opinions
differed widely from those of the majority of the re-
spectable inhabitants of Cambridge. Of twelve
Bankers who had signed the requisition, hut two
attended the meeting—there were present sic Mer-
chants and twelve Tradesmen of tespectabilit•. The
remainder of the meeting consisted of gown Amen
who were rather unwelcome visitors he believed to the
rest—two or three hawked labourers who wete dis-
engaged, it being St. Monday, and a large number of
nurses and children. He should he a most ungrateful
man if he were to speak disrespectfully of gownswen,
to whom under peculiar circumstances he had owed
great obligations, and far was he from feeling. dis-
posed to say any thing against that %lass of men who
earned their daily bread by the sweat of their brow,
bat it was too much that such a meeting as he had
described should arrogate .to itself the character
claimed by these petitioners, that of " The Bankers,
Merchants, and Traders of Cambridge." Ile knew
the industry which had heed used to obtain signatures
to this Petition, and be knew that from the manner
is which it was got np, some respectable :.;entlenien
who were friendly to those who had framed it had re-
routed to sign it, and this accounted for its presenting
so few names. 'llv town of Cambridge contains a
population of aboat 12,000 people, many of whom
were as respectable as the inhabitants of any town in
