RIOT ACT DEAD AT A rcoLic iItETIND WIT IN

Dooms.

Yesterday evening, pursuant to an advertisement very
extensively circulated throughout the Hundreds of
Oreenwich, Blackheath, Little and Lessem, the Inha-
bitant Hotneholders assembled at the Breen Man, for
the purpose of addressing the Queen on her triumph
over her unrelenting persecutors, and of Petitioning the
House of Commons or her restoration to all her Con-
stitutional rights. As early as fire o'clock the great
room was filled. True to the .lacohirrical principle.
that the end sanctified the means, the enemies of the
Queen had taken every preliminary step to :-..ture the
success of the cause or social order and exclusive loy-
alty, by outrage, violence, and bloodshed.
An anonymous letter was, daring the former day,
circulated through the Hundreds, denontwiug the ob-
ject of the Meeting. As an illustration of its virulent
spirit, we insert the following paragraphs:—
" Sir Thomas Wilson, of Charlton, and the Rev.
Mr. Chamberlaytte, the Rector of the same place, are
the avowed patrons of time treasure, and this alooe will
be suffwieot to stamp the character and object of the
measure.
" It is possible that the neighbourhood may be insulted
by the treasonable effusions of many who have neither
property to risk, nor property to lose."
In purmnance of this invitation. a knot of Platemen
and Placehrmters, reinforced front the Hospital by men
who did not appear to relish that kind of service, en-
tered the room at an early hour. They immediately
raised a cry that the Chair should be taken by Mr.
Wilson, the Magistrate who presided at the " exclu-
sively Ultra-Loyal Meeting." Shouts of dissent met
this proposition from various parts of the room. Mr.
Wilson himself declared that he would not take the
Chair, as he was decidedly opposed tothe object of the
Meeting.
Mr. Wntrrut was called to the Choir by the ite'qui•'
'Monists. This respectable tradesman has been in-
debted, we understood, to the early patronage of her
Majesty, for his prosperity in life, and with trtießtritish
gratitude, by his manly conduct, proved that bet/Royal
beneficence was not ill bestowed. Mr. 'Whittle said. he
sought not the honour, but sooner than an neat
should preside, he would obey the call. Mr.
vine Clark. a Placentas), proposed Mr. lite
East India Proprietor. Mr. Lowndesrefup to e the
Chair, unless duly called to it by the ntajetity "-of the
meeting. Mr. Clark then placed a chair or the table,
and Mr. Whittle, called by time majority, immediately took,
possession of it. The dogs of war were now unloosed,
the chair was dragged from under Mr. Whittle; cries
of " King, King, "Queen, Queen," resounded through
the meeting, tables, not kingdoms. were subverted--
stools and Allies supplied the hostile armies; for ten'
minutes the din of war prevailed—Rohen's laws were
imperative. as every man either gave oe received a wound.
The victory was, however, most decisive, as the rip-
motors of the outrage sad the euenalts of the Queen
*ere driven in sad and disgraceful note from the teens.
The Magistrate (Mr. William's) at length took an ele-
vated position in the 43aUery, and from thence read the
Riot Act. The meeting, in the course of some done, se-
parated, but not until SO of the persons were takes into
custody.

Esq., M.P., Peter Moore, Esq., M.P., and several Gentle-
men, entered the room, when the Chair was immediately
taken by J. C. Hobhonse, Esq., amidst the acclamations
of the crowd that had assembled in considerable num-
bers in the yard below, and whom the speakers ad-
dressed from the window of the room.
The CHAIMMAN stated the object of the meeting in a
brief speech, in the course of which he adverted to the
late proceedings against her Majestr, and expatiated on
the necessity of Parliamentary Reform. The Honour-
, able Member concluded, by entreating a patient bearing
I for those gentlemen who inteaded to address them.
Mr. P. Moons came forward, and after some abler-
; rations moved a series of resolations, which, on bring
seconded, were carried unanimously. An Address to
her Majesty was next moved, when Mr. Nicholson pro-
posed, as an amendment, another &Woos, which, after
a long discussion, was rejected, anti the original one
carried.

NORTHAMPTON PUBLIC MEETIXO.

A numerous and respectable Meeting of the inhabit-
ants of the tout of Northampton, was held on Tuesday
the 16 h of January, at the Ram Ina, (in consequence
of the Mayor having declined calling a public meet-
ing), for the purpose of taking into consideration the
propriety of petitioning the House of Common•, to
oppose all further proceedings against her Majesty
the Queen. Gsonot PZACIi. Esq. in the Chair.
A spirited resolution was neanimously agreed to,
not only on the expediency of putting a stop to any
further proceedings against her Majesty that might be
proposed, but on the propriety of investing her Majesty
with those dignities which are suited to her exalted
rank in the State. and of instituting a rigorous in-
quiry into the Milan Commission. A Petition founded
on this Resolution was also unanimously voted to be
presented to the House of Commons; as was an-
other Resolution that it was expedient to address
the King, praying him that he would be graciously
pleased to dismiss his present Ministers from his
Counsels. An Address to that effect was also carried,
together with a request that Sir George Robinson,
Bart. and William Leader Maberley Esq., the Mem-
bers in P..rliament for the Borough, to whom the
thanks of the Meeting were voted for their Parlia-
mentary conduct daring the last Session. should pre-
sent the Petition and Address adopted. Thanks were
also voted to the Editors of the Journals who had sup-
ported her Majesty's cause, to the Uentlernen who had
signed the Requisition to the Mayor. and to the Chair-
man of the Meeting.
The meeting was so crowded that hundreds who ap-
plied for admission u•culd not get into the room. The
Address and Petition lay seven days for signatures,
and obtained 1660 respectable names; while t►e mock-
loyal Address obtained, not 560, as was lately stated,
by a typograpical error, but only 360.

WEST INDIA DOCK COMPANY.
........,-.

A meeting of the merchants, ship-owners. and
traders of the metropolis took place yesterday at the
City of London Tavern, fur the purpose of taking
such steps as might be best calculated to avert the
renewal of the charter of the West India Dock Com-
pany, at present under the consideration of his Ma-
jesty's ministers—" a amasser," as described by the
requisition, "se injurious to the commercial pros-
perity of the port of London," and also `4 to secure
those advantages which dm public are entitled to ex-
pest at the expiration of the ',silting charters of the
several dock companies, from the establishment of a
principle of fair and open competition, instead of the
present system of monopoly and exclusive privilege."
The meeting was very numerous, and highly respect-
able. On the 'maims ..f Mr. T. Wilson, M. P., Mr.
Marryat, 111. P. took the Chair.
The CUAIIIMAN then proceeded to state the objects
of the Meeting, and the results of the different confe-
rences which bad taken place aids his Majesty's Mi-
■isters respecting them. The question which the
Meeting had to consider was, he said, most important,
for if this charter were renewed to the West India
Dock Company. the Charter of the Dock Companies
must also be renewed ; and then the question would
be whether they should go on with a fair and open
competition, which was the spirit and lifrof commerce,
or have to struggle against a system of monopolies
which were only calculated to fetter the enterprise of
the greatest commercial city in the world.--(Hear.)—
He did not mean, for a moment, to deny that great
advantages bail arisen from the establishment of such
large companies as those to which be alluded, which
could swot be expected under other circumstances.
They did encourage the warehousing system by the
increased security they gave to commerce. This was
one of the advantages they proposed ; but as to an-
other that was promised, the lowering of the rate of
shipping charges. they hall effected the reverse. The
duties they imposed were so high as to prove intole-
rable in a time of peace, and in the circumstances in
which the country is placed. As so instance, he
referred to a case in which be himself was concerned.
1n 1810 he imported a cargo of 4,000 chests of sugar.
Not finding a ready market for them, he kept them two
years and a gleaner, in the warehouses of the Com-
pany, and for this warehousing be was charged a sank
not less than from 1,40 W. to 1.400/.—(Hear, hear.)—
• seta which would not be charged ia the wareboases
of any other country of Europe; fur be was certain
that for warehousing the same goods, for the same
time, in any other country, the *large would not have
exceeded 3001.; and if he were to have placed thee•
la any of the up-town warehouses, the expense roald
not have amounted to more than 4001.—(Hear, bear.)
was impossible to carry on trade with such re-
strictions. His own trade. therefore la this respect,
very considerably declined. And be Imew those who
need to ship large quantities of British gouda ie
British vessels to British ports, or of them
was now settled is Prance, and now shipped the
same goods in foreign vessels to fore* ports,
Ibe having been deterred from lading to ibis
Iport by the very high dock sad 'embossed's**.
The same drawees* was visible is a great pare of oar
trade with the Brasile. In fact, we saw our ships pass
by oar awn ports and sarry their cargoes In ethers.
Let the meeting look Io the private trade with India.
of which so mach had beta salts and from which as
