to Requisition, addressed to the Lord Mayor, for the
purpose of preparing an Address to Ms Excellency the
Lord Liertenant. and to express the abhorrence which
the Corporation felt it the atrocious outrage which u-
ttered at the Theatre on Saturday evening.
• Mr. J. B. Fitzsimons opened the business of the day
by wooing, that the bord Ma of and Board of' Alder-
men be requested to agree with the Commons in naming
a Committee, to prepare an Address to the Marquess
Wellesley. pursuant to the Resolution.
Mr. Tudor seconded this Requisition.
Mr. Willis moved as an amendment, that the Re.
quisition be sent for, and that the names affixed to 4t
be read. •
This motion met with mach opposition, and excited
much altercation.; but being wended, was put from the
Chair.
The " Ayes" and "Noes" were both en loud, that
it was difficult to decide which had the majority.
It was then put a second time, when the Chairman
decided in favour of the Noes.
Mr. Williams said, t bat he rose to move that a Petition
to Parliament aboold be--(Here Mr. d'illistes wes as-
sailed with loud bissis; and the clamour was so vio-
lent. that it was impossible to hear what his motion
was)

expected to do its duty, whilst they are ander the Na-
ftali! of a partial Magistrate.—(Loud hisses.)
• Mr .Bennett.—Ttse Police did do their duty.
Here Many voices exclaimed that Mr. Williams's
motion was out of order, and could not be enter-
tained.
The question was then put on Mr. Fitzsmions's mo.
tion, which was carried.
The Resolution was then seat op to the Board for their
concurrence.

tary to the Lord Lieutenant,fer hiss spirited and inteel,id
conduct at tie Theatre on Saturday night, when the out-
rage was offered to his Excellency.
This was opposed by many persons, on the ground
that it did not come within the Requisition.
Mr. J. B. FtrasiuoNs moved, as an amendment, that
the name of Alderman Parley. and the other Police
Magistrates, should go coupled with the name of Mr.
Johnstone, in the resolution ; Alderman Harley .was a
loyal Magistrate, and though the rebels might trawl
out a hiss at him, they were afraid to do so openly.
After much noisy discussion on the subject, the Post
Assembly broke up without coining to any resolution
on the subject, snd without the question having been
put; Mr. Pi whoops previously haviag declared that lie
would bring the resolution forward on the ensuing
Quarter Assembly.

given by us, respecting this awful calamity, were cal-
culated to induce a hope, that the shocks bad ceased.—
It appears however, from the following report from Mr.
Coastal Barker dated October 19 (the day after the date
of the last Extract published), thae there has been a rt.'
cumin* of the calamity:—" At half past fire, v. De. (be ,
says), a violent shock of earthquake has destroyed all
our hopes of its being terminated."

Sheriff having refused their Petition, his Lordship
