heath, in the play,
'• How happy could I be with either,
" Were Collier dear charmer away ;

After some other obserrati‘ns, the Hon. I:enact:al..
concluded by saying, that he should altvays be ready
to act with the people, because he knee, as in this
case, that they would act on the side of justice, cf 1.-
betty, and of humanity.
Sir O. Nom. next addressed the meeting. He aai I.

ST. PAUL'S COVENT GARDEN'.
--.•--

Yesterday evening there was a numerous an I ri•
opeetable Meeting of the Inhabitants of this Palish,
to consider of the propriety of presenting an Ad-
dress of Congratulation to the Qu-en, upon tl:e be-
knowledged defeat of her persecnturs in their si o::.
mucous retreat front the contest, and presenting a pe-
tition to the King, praying the dismissal of t ose
Ministers with whom that persecution originate !.
It was expected by the Committee who neder.',::
time conduct of the Meeting, that the use of the (.10 .11.
would, as usual in o her parishes, be granted for time
occasion. But this accommodation was peremptorily
refused upon applicatiu:m to the Churchwardens, wits
possess the coutrolliug power, as tlio Rector Is %inn-
resident, and has little intercourse with the palish.
The Churchuardens are Mr. Pitt Cobbell, of Bedford-
street, Mr. 1:/alissaine, of Chamlos-street, and Mr. Few,
of lienrietta-street. Whether the Gentlemen of the
Lo •ttee applied directly to all the Churchwardens,
we cannot pretend to say, but that time accommodatints
of the Parish Church was refused, is matter of fact,
and iu consequence of that refusal, the Meeting tpuli
place at Fisher's Great Room in King-street.
Upon the proposition of Mr. NOILTIARCIUSI, sceon'leml ,
,hy Mr. Pummels, Lord Wm. Russell was called to t!me
Chair amidst the warmest apples.. of the company.
The Noble Lord having accordingly taken the thair,
mod the Meeting to 'llk Atiosittif
lasabitaista of the Pneisb of St. P
have always made a rule not to attend a
ny district with which I had not some lo
tion. But that rule must be set aside in present'
instance, from the interest which my family niturally
feel in this parish, and therefore I promptly acceded to
the wish expressed by the Gentlemen who did me the
honour of soliciting my attendance. I was anxious.
too, to join with you in exulting upon the failure of
that odious Bill of Pains and Penalties which is now
no more, and to witness the sympathy which yon so
generously manifest its the sufferings of the
Such expression of good sense and good feeling is
I am happy to understand, the first object of the lirsa-
lotions which are to be submitted to your judgment.
The second Resolution relates, I learn, to the restora-
tion of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, and the third,
to the dismissal of his Majesty's present Ministers. As
to the last object, I really do nut care any thing 'bolt
it, feeling, as I do, most sensible, that unless the
grievances of the people be redressed, the present Mi-
nisters would answer as well, if not better, than any
other.—(Applauses.)—Therefore, time removal of Mi-
nisters, unless accompanied by a redress of grievance:,
is, in my view, of no moment. But yet the conduct of
those Ministers has been such, especially towards the
Queen, that I should be glad to ate the people univer-
sally express their disapprobation of that conduct.
With a view to that expression, indeed, I hope time
meeting of this parish will be followed up by the meet-
lag of every parish in London ; nay, by every county,
awn, and borough, throughout the United Kingdom,
(loud and repeated Applauses)—for the 'Hestia Mi-
nisters hare most mischievously contributed to degrade
the Monarchy, by injuring the character of the
Monarch, and ao endanger the safety of t e country,
as well as the stability of the constitution, by under-
mining the morality of the public. But the principles
of these Ministers were sufficiently illustrated by their
late mode of proroguing the Parliament, without
deigning to give any explanation of their conduct—
without making any communication from his Majesty
to Parliuient or to the country, according to general
usage.—(Applause.)—The Noble Lord concluded with
observing, that anderstanding the Meeting would take
place at twelve o'clock, he had made arrangements
which it was now impossible to dispense with, and
therefore he hoped the ladies and gentlemen whom he
had the honour to address, would excuse him in leering
the chair so soon.
At near seven o'clock the Noble Lord withdrew,
amidst universal testimonies of respect and regard.
Mr. Hormones was then voted into the chair, and
his appointment was bailed with unequivocal proofs of
attachment.

Mr. Noaranouse rose, he said, to state the two ob-
jects of the meet' mg, namely, the congratulation of in-
nocence, and the condemnation ofguilt. The conduct
of Ministers could not, be felt, he too strongly con-
demned, especially is seeking the ruin of the Queen,
and in coatri►ing to have the king pointed at wit!,
scorn. It was not 'nook,* that these Ministers should,
for (wady-five years, have laboured to abridge the li-
berties, and to miguseat the barthens of the countr,
but they eadeavoered vitally to wound the sacred rights
of every individual is the nation through the side of
the Omega. Their abject, indeed, was evidently :he
