THE QUERN.

A requisition of the inhabitants of Horsham, has
bee. presented to the Bailiffs, to call a meeting to ad-
dress the Queen ;—the locating is lied fur Total')
neat, at the Town Hall.

. The Mayor of Oxford has declined calling a meet-
ing I. address the Queen, on the ground that such a
step would be indecorous in the present stage of the
proc.eding in Parliament.
In Tuesday last a meeting was held at the Swan,
Norwich, Mr. K. Taylor, in the chair, at which it was
resolved to set on foot a subscription in that city, in
aid of the general fund in London, for the purpose of
presenting a service of plate to the Queen. The con-
tribution from each individual was limited to one shil-
ling.
At a numerous meeting of coaclimakers, held Thurs-
day night, at the Three Compasses, in Holborn, an
Address warvoteil to her Majesty, and carried, ottani-
mously.--A nmettopt •f the gawyers of London has
also been held in Bishopsgate-street, sod a resolution
voted to address her Majesty.
Thursday evening a respectatie and very numerous
Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Parish of Christ
Church, Surrey, was held to consider the propriety of
addressing her Majesty. The Rectors and Church-
wardens having refused the use of the Church, though
the Requisition was signed by 176 of the Inhabitants,
the Meeting was held in the premises of Mr. Lite.,
patent wheel manufacturer, nearly opposite the Rev.
Rowland Hill's Chapel.
At half-past-seven o'clock the Chair was taken by
JOHN CHATISILD, Esq.
Mr. M`Cnrunir said, he had prepared a series of
Resolutions, which hr intended to move as an amend-
ment, in order to try the .pirit of the parish. The
Resolutions were founded on the principles of Par-
liamentary Reform.
Mr. SFIRT suggested that the more regular way
would be for the meeting to hear the Resolutions
prepared by the Counnitter, before they heard any
other.

- •
Mr. Kiun observed that no man could be more
warmly attached than he was to the cause of Par-
liamentary Reform, but he was well aware of the
danger resulting from blending subjects together
which had no earthly connection whatever. The ob-
ject of the present meeting was solely to address the
Queen, and tothat object he thought they were ri-
gidly bound to adhere. Let their efforts be united
till the Queen was got triumphantly out of the con-
test, and then no man would be more ready than him-
ielf to vindicate the calm of the people.
After some discussions, the Resolutions prepared
by the Committee were read by the geodes,
Mr. 111‘Cassae persisted in moving bts amend-
ments to theekesolutions, when consideilible uproar
took place., •
The wiolutions of the Committee were, however,
supported IT the majority of the Meeting.
Mr. Burma, and other Gentlemen spoke, after
which an Address to the Qiirrn was agreed to.'
Answeeof the Queen to the A Idlest of the Church-
wardens, Overseers, and other Inhabitants of the
Parish of Rt. Saviour, Southwark:—.
" I feeliseruliar satisfaction in receiving this lopil
and affectionate Address from the Churchwardens, ()en-
trees, and Mher Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Saviour,
in the Borough of Southwark.
" Though I hate no regard for any interest that is
separated from the public welfare, and consequently dis-
dain all connexion with any faction, yet it has been said
that faction ha 4 marked me lot its own. It might have
been affirmed with much more truth, that persecution has
marked me for its own. Persecution has harrassed use with
entry species of milt-eulent nettle,' and of inquisitorial
torture for near a quarter of a century. If my honour
,and my life have been preserved amidst se many perils
as those to which I haveleen exposed from !pies; trai-
tors, and perfidious emissaries of every description, the
cause must be ascribed-net to the defect of vigilance, or
any relaxation of effort in my enemies, but to the Inhe-
rent strength of integrity, and to the invisibletprotection
of the Almighty. 14is gracious Providence has perpe-
tually attended me in all my wanderings, has watched
over my pillow in kil my sorrows and etre, and been my
constant shield in all my perils and adversities.
" It will never be forgotten, that on the very day on
which she remains of his late- eeeee ed klajosty, my guar-
'diAn and my friend, were committed to the silent tomb,
