proceeded to address the assembly. Ile uostgratelated
the Livery, he said, that he had the pleasure of
meeting them once more in their ancient Guildhall.
Ile felt that they were assembled like free citizens lel
the heart of the city of London, in the mitre of a
great, powerful, and independent empire. If, how.
ever, some people bad their wish, he believed thel
hinges of their door woeld rest, before they were
thrown open to the Llatry.—( True, true )—lf thew

( Leveler )—he hoped be might, with great pre.
piety. congratulate dam is the swarms of aim
ether Gentleman, of high character sod homier, who
had most readily acceded to their wishes In calling
the pretest Cassias Ball.—(Breen.)—There he Mt
himself pledged to state, that the Worthy blegistrole
was oat bound, In soy degree, to give up, or coma
promise his own political opinions, which, like othee
Gentlemen. be was at perfect liberty to Isold.—(4llp.
piesse.)--Ile (Mr. Favell) had pledged himself to the
Lord Mayor that no Resoletion which he might have
the honour to propose this day, or which the Livery
might think fit to sanction, should he considered as
implicating, in any degree whatsoever, the Nil.
Dion of their Chief Magistrate.—(Greet applearse.)—
The Livery bail recently seen (end he treated it
would be long before they again witnessed sash a
circumstance) the political opinion of the Chief Ma.
gistrste operating as a bar to the proper discharge of,
his civil dustier. Having brought this to their reel
collection, be sincerely congratulated the Livery s
agate meeting in that Hell to exercise an Importer*
right. They formerly bad had Chief Magistrates,
whose political opleirins differed from these held by
the great body of the Livery, bat during the last
Mayoralty alone had they met with satirise Mats-
ales when they were anaioes to meet for the dis-
suasion of important subjects. They had bad Mr.
Alderman Christopher Smith, whose political feel-
ings were very different from those generally
ea-
tertsined by the Limy, but dating his Mayoralty,
me obstructs, was offered to their meeting in Com.
mon Hill. They were, on this accs.irio, assembled
to conkider one of the must 'Elperrtant gantlet's they
had ever been sommened to discuss. It was a quer
don deeply interesting to the whole body of the Li-
very, who formed, perhaps, ene-tbird of (hackie's@ of
London; it was a question deeply interesting to the
citizens at Way; it was, la fine, a speeds. deeply in.
Westing to Englishmen in genersl.—(4mdoore.)
It sal not a party question which caused their meet.
lag on this occasion, bet one that implicated the rights
of the whole body of the Livery. They claimed, and
they bad a right to claim, the privilege of free and
fair discussion on all election days, whether at Mid-
summer, Michaelmas, sir any ether time, when they
were assembled in Common 11.11 That qoestion
was not, however, to be decided there, since those
who were opposed to them had thought proper to
bring it into a Court of Law. The Livery, however,
claimed this right is virtue of their Charters. The
privileges of the Livery were useutiosed in the Greet
Charter ; they were uoticed in the particular Charter
granted to the City; sad they were recognized by
I various Acts of Parliament. le 'ippon of them they
could quote different legal eetherities, the opinions
of Mr. Serjeant Glynn, and of other emineet men;
and they could also dais them on the groped
of aocient •sage. It was a clear case, that if it
were possible to prevent them from discussing
public grievances on election days, they would be
completely subjected to the caprice of the Chief Me.
gistrate for the time being. If the decision were
ultimately against their right to die-use impertsal
matters on serh occasions, the Livery of London
would not stand in need of any Gagging Bills.—(
laugh.)—lt was eattaesdinary, if any doubt esisted
r. lades to those rights, that some of the eldest and
most respectable Members of the Livery were selected
for presecorioo, or rather for persecetioe. in order
to try the validity of the privileges claimed by .1 •
portal body.—(Applause.)—The individuals so se.
lectrd were ;trews ibis day, sad. he was sore, weal'i
answer for themselves most satisfactorily. They
were told by those who disputed their pririlegee, that
el,ere was a conspiracy ie the city. Ile believe I
there were conspirators ; and, in his opinion, their
conspiracy was set on foot for the remote of over-
turning the rights and privileges of the livery a
Laudon.—(.lpplareee.) Bet he hoped that conspi-
racy would be effectually rebutted, and that they
world bate such solid grounds to stand on, as would
enable them to Moot, with ili•grare, those who et-
tempted to support it.—( dip/ricrac )—Thee had to
rejoice that their friends and chempinits were not to

( Lorighfcr.)—They were accused of doing something
which, iu their jodgniont, they believed to be right.
Ile (Mr. F.) wee out in the ILO when the occurrence
took place, end therefore could not state what passed ;
but lie knew the characters of the persons accused last
