A hand-bill was ism:et! on Thnrstlay last, rivins'
notice, that " a Wain!: of sucts of the inhabitant of
the town and neigishonrhool of Filmic a! may be dis-

posed to concur in gentling a Loyal Address to Lis
Majesty thy King," would be holden at the George
Inn on this day.
A very numerous and respectable Me Cng accord-
ingly took place, when Sir C. W. llsvert.ttE, [tart.,

High Sheriif of the Count c, was inetnetlirtely called ( not,
however, by the gentlemen wi" framed the requi.ition)
and was voted (Meth. elm.) to the chair.
The Worthy Baronet opened the business of fie
day by briefly stating the purpose fur which the Meet-
ing was railed.

Mr. ni•NS then propoeed that a dutiful awl loyal
Address be presented to his 3lajesty, which he pro-
dnred ; and being read, it was seconded by the Rey.
Mr. Sainsbury, of Beckington, and sisrpurted by Mr.
Wickham ; the Rey. Mr. Skurray, of lloining<haul

the Rev. Mr. Fenwick, the Rev. M-. irelend, Of Nun-

;ley; Mr. Weaver, of Beckingron, and others ; on tla.
;rounds, that whilst olisaffertinn to the timer:l,lwatt
and irreligion were FO glari-gly evinced in many parts
of the country ; while such men as Carlile and others
were sending forth their blasphemy and disloyalty, it
behoved every friend to his country to stand forward
in defence of the king and Constittition; that he Ad•
dress proposed br Mr. Bunn was not a party address ;

that it took 113 notice whatever of the proceedings re-
lative to the Queen, anal therefore it was such an Ad-
dress as every loyal person might sign.
Mr. It ter.tx proposed the Address, as being evi-
dently the :Votaress of a party, and tnoved that the fol-
lowing Address should be substituted fur that proposed
by Mr. Bunn :
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT NI.-VJESTY.
Mar it please your Majesty,
We, the Inhabitants of Penner Selwood, and its n•i els-
bourhood, in the County of Somerset, assembled this day
(pursuant to public notice), beg permission, most teepee -

Disposer of all things that yo sr Majesty may continue to'

ed to the hearts of your people, and admired by the
world; and should the day arrive (which Hod forhitl

the support of your throue, that consecration shall cheer-

Id correspondence with these sentiments of regard
and devotion, we deem it our ditty to express our high
gratification at the wisdom evinced by your Majesty's
Ministers in their recent relinquishment of the Bill of _
l'ains and Penalties against her Majesty the Queen ; a
Bill opposed in its principle to oar inestimable Count-

Empire was threatened, and the stability of our consti-.•

disapproved by a large majority of your Majesty's faith-
ful subjects.

our ronstitntion un its ancient basis, a►ti of opening

the views and sentiments he entertained on the present
occasion, and these he hail endeavoured to embody in
the Address to the Qnecn, and the Petition to the King.
The lion. Member concluded, amidst great applause,
by mov i
Ist. Resolved.—That an Address of t'nnkrat►►lation be
presented to her Majesty the Queen, and that the Addrmss
now read be adopted. And that a Petition be presented to
his Majesty for the dismissal of the present Ministers, end
that the Petition now read be adopted.
The two Addresses were then read, and ably se-
conded by Mr. M It Sit.
Nine Resolutions were moved and seconded by dif-
ferent Gentlemen, and tarried unanimously.
On the Resolution of thanks to the members being

carried,
C. F. Pstmen, Esq., M. P., came forward. Ile was
in a distant part of Lincolnshire when he heard of
this meeting, from whence lie immediately proceeded,
considering it his duty to attend his constituents on a
question of so notch importance, and which has excit-
ed so much interest in every part of the kingdom.
The Queen, it was said, had been blamed for not
throwing herself on the aristocracy for protection ;
but, in his opinion, she had acted snore wisely by ap-
pealing to the affections of the British people; for,
while she received their support, in the language of
Mr. Denman, lie believed Ministers might as easily
pluck a star from the heavens as deprive her Majesty
of any of her rights and privileges. The assailants
of the Queen had proved the greatest enemies to the
monarchy of the present day, and bad done more to
degrade the kingly dignity than all the radical meet-
ings which had been held fur the last 50 years : for
they had been the means of reviving numerous dis-
gusting stories long forgotten, and which had a ten-
dency to make many illustrious eharacters odious to
the pnblic ; and which, bat for the prosecution of her
Majesty would have remained buried in oblivion. To
the Bible and other religious societies we are much in-
debted for instilling lessons of morality and virtue
in the minds of the rising generation, and he much
lamented, that the enemies of the Queen bad been
es mischievously employed in sowing the seeds of
vice, and rendering the labours of the religions so-
cieties abortive. The hon. member then warmly ani-
madverted on the attempts made by ministers to sub-
vert the constitution, by pasting an ex-post /trete law,
instead of subjecting their charges to a fair and impar-
tial verdict. He bad every respect for the rev. bench
of bishops, but lie could not help observing that they
had, in thin case, differed not only in point of law,
but of religion ; and, in his opinion, had done them-
selves no credit by exhibiting party-coloured robes.
lie deprecated the manner in which ministers had
treated the House of Commons, by dismissing them
in a way perfectly unknown to the usages of the coun-
try ; and declared that it was the interference of the
people only that had rescued the Queen from her ene-
mies, and on their unremitted exertions did her safety
even now depend. A change of ministers without
a change of system would be worse than useless. The
present men were undoubtedly leagued with foreign
powers ; anti under the present s} stem, he feared English
liberty could not exist. He hoped the death Oast present
ministers would be the death of the present systai; for
if that was allowed to exist, other men would he found
to attempt its continuance: in essdirusatism of whieb
he had reason to know, that the proem Misisarrs
tth-
jeeted to bring forward the charge" against the Qum,
when they were informed that a noble Dub Irks dote
not lire far from this town, and Mr. Peek tauld farm
another ministry; they thereby' thought limper to
proceed with the prosecitiow, ail owls OR* pins...
' The Hon. Member soispliwisssad the amidst el die

b .1d and manly part, in defence the public libevty,
which had always been taken by the inhabitants of
Reading; and concluded a mo 4 energetic speech.
(which was received throughout with the loudest
cheers), of which the above is a very faint outline, by
assuring them it always gave him pleasure to obey
their commands, and that it was with the greatest
cheerfulness and alacrity he should attend upon her
Majesty with the Address.
Mr. Moser' and our worthy Mayor severally re-
turned thanks, after which the meeting gave three
cheers for the Queen, and adjourned.
