FA RRING DON WITHOUT.

Yesterday, this meeting was extremely numerous,
anol.the galleries of the church were crowded with
ladies. After Mr. Alderman Walthman took the
chair, the four candidates who resigned, Mr. Pontifex,
Air. Smith, Mr. Young, and Mr. Herring, presented
themselves—the two former in person, the two latter
by deputy—and returned thanks to their fellow-
citizens fur haring so long hanon.•••i theta with their
confidence.

The four new candidates who proposed to sonply
the places of those who retired, were Mr. Vincent
Biggins, Mr. George Turner, Mr. T. U. Ilaurard, and
Mr. Thomas llarper. The latter being of the 'okra-
loyal parly, it was proposed to supply his place by Mr.
Alezanpler Galloway.

the manner in which the signatures for the loyal ad-
dress to his Majesty had been obtained. Some of
those who hail si.2ned it, he knew, were neither resi-
dents of the ward nor even of the metropolis.
Mr. 'Fnomrsom then rose to propose a resolution
declaratory of the opinion of the meeting upon the re-
so.ution parsed at the select loyal meeting ; and then
proceeded to enumerate the demerits of Mr. Harper as
a representative of the ward. He had declared that
he had sometimes voted contrary to his opinion and
his conscience, from compulsion: it aas notorious
that he hail protected and encouraged his son for is.
soinz intlannioatory placard headed—" Go it, my
bobs—Spa Fields row.- lie was one of the supporters
of the resolution passed at the select loyal meeting, :
anti, to sum up his character, he was a professed ene-
my to the Queen : he had refused to assist in deliver-
ing a helpless and persecuted woman from the tyranny
and oppression of her enemies, lie (.11r. Thompson)
then alluded to the loyal address which had issued in
the name of the ward of Farringolon Without, and
celled the attention of the meeting to the gross and in-
sulting language contained in it to the whole of the
citizens of Gondol): After some further uhservat. ,
be coroclnded by snoring a rerolution, declaring that
this meeting viewel wills the utmost contempt the as
of loyalty by a set of individuals, who them-
selves huh acted in such a manner a, to produce those
Veils which they hyporiitically pretended to deplore.
he meeting therefore considered their proceedings to
he illiberal, unwarrantable, and disgraceful.
Mr. l'oeTes secondeol the motion, anti remarked
upon the 'motives by which these loyal men were ac-
tuated. Having failed in init:ihg down their lawful
Queen, they now directed all their efforts to put down
the people. They endeavoured to monopolize every
thing ; and their monopoly of loyalty was the worst of
altenosoopoliee. Their loyalty was indeed of a peculiar
nature: it was a loyalty of pontiods, shillings, ,cud
pence ; a loyalty by which they might be enriched at
the expense of their starring civil:llll.mm If to advocate
the sy steno of spies and ink rivers--if to encourage as!-
likerial ev.ratagance—if to rerc.cnte injured inno-
cence—was loyalty, he would rather tie called a traitor
titan a lovalist.---(Applause.)

Mr. Hama said, he felt desifons that the foul calum-
nies which, particularly for the list three years, had
been heaped upon his head, might Not be increased,
and tu show that he yet was capable of vindicating hint•
self from the malignant a9lersions of his enemies. lle
conceived tint A (portion of the loftsl resolution which
had been adt rted to, in some degree affected him;
and he it is particularly anxions to demonstrate to the
meeting Cult those who east their calumnies upon
hint were nit themselves unsullied. lie alluded pare
titularly to the expressions in the I. val ressilution rela-
tive to blasphemous parodies and publications. He
was ready to admit that some publications of this na-
ture hail been printed, which were objectionable ; but
it was a curious circumstance that the very luau who
was thus holding himself up as the pattern of morality
to the nation, had been guilty of that enormity which
he so Mir:nen:ly condemned in miters. lie (Mr.
Hobe) held in hits hand a Fork, entitled " The Con-
stituti.:n of Freemasonry or .Neiman ltexon :" to
which is added a selection of Masonic songs, &c., re-
vised, corrected, and inproved, nith additions from
the original of the late Laurence Dertautt, Esq., by
Thomas II 'Ter; Peptity (intuit Master." 'I be date
of tais as 1,01 ; and in the 3-Itli song there
WAS a most gross and biasplienions parody upon the
of Genesis. lie then proceeded to read some set
the verses, when he was interrupted sev-ral times by
a par:y in the citurcit, and at length obiiged to close
the b.frok. The tumult having in some inea‘are suis-
sided, Mr. Ilene observed that the song he had partly
read was ti.:o infamous even for the ;loyal party to
hear. It was indeed the must blasphemous produc-
tion he hail ever heard. 31r. Harper was a brother
parod.st, and an elder brother protlist ; and lie hoi.e,l
he wool l not be ashamed of his title.—(Applause.)
Mr. RAOll'lll palliated Mr. Harper's putili-
cation of the song, as being only intended for con-
vivial purposes. -

31r. Ilusse.t. at some length defended the loyal re-
solution, and regretted very mu II that sown gentle-
rums had thought pro:ier to attack the pr,vatc charac-
ter 4 Mr. 11arprr.—(t•ries of set, n...)
Alde,-waJ 1% rt.atvx sal.!, in his hearing- the
private character of no man had been attached. If he
bad heard i-, he should have _thought proper to call
that iuttivirlual to or,:er.

Mr. Russet, teas notch surprised to hear c• enilemen
complain of the loyal resolution, as it was termed. He
complained of the unfair wanner in which this sub-
ject had been treated by some of the speakers, and par-
ticularly by the worthy mover of the resolution. The
word " liberty" had been used for the purpose of en-
flaming the minds of the people; and aLliough more
true liberty was now enjoyed by British snhjects than
any nation since the e:eation had ever been blessed
with, it was still a constant subject of complaint that
the people were deprived of their dearest rights.
Mr. Tuomeson, in reply, observed, that he /iris
loot at the presto: period prepared to cuter into a dis-
