maces. A Requisition, signed by fifty-Ave.( the most
opulent and respectable ishabitante, was last week pre-
tested to the Magistrates, requesting them to call a
Meeting of the Inhabitants, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the propriety of presenting an Address
of Congratulation to her Majesty. and deprecating the
hroceedings going on against her. The Magistrates,
owever, refused, to read or receive the Requisition ;
'wither would they give their assent for the use of the
Town-hall for the octasion. The latter, however, being
'while property, the Requisitionists determined them-
selves to mat a Meeting of the Inhabitants for to-morrow
(tile 9th), and passed as unanimous Resolution to hold
it is the Town-hall, and nowhere else. The opposite
party are all ua the alert, and are determined to shut the
Meet* out of the Town ball, if possible ; sod, if us-
eseemeal in this, they mean to propose a set of Counter-
ken:Actions, in order to defeat the object of the Meeting.
Is this state of things, much uproar and confusion is ex-
Peeled.
Both Lord Milton and Stuart Wortley are now here,
bet it is not supposed that either of them will attend the
Meeting to-morrow.
An address of condolence and congratulation to her

It is now said that the house of Sir Thomas Tyrwhit

o'clock, as Mr. Higginbotham, of Sydney-row, Cam-
berwell-road, was returning home, he was accosted
sitbin a few paces of his own door, by a tall man,
dinned in black, who politely asked what the precim
fine of the nicht was ? Mr. H. drew his watch out
to satisfy the inquiry t bat as he held it up to the

the Sicilians participated warmly in the prevailing
sentiment ; and on receiving the intelligence, arrayed
themselves with the tri-coloured cockade, the badge
of the Constitution. The following day, however,
they united with it the yellow or Sicilian riband ;
and an officer in the pay of Naples, au English-
man of the name of Cricket', having tutu, it said,
this emblem of Sicilian Independence from the breast
of an unarmed citizen, the people became exasperated
against the continental authorities, and the forts pos-
sessed by the Neapolitan troops, were attacked and

animated by a common love of
liberty. Unfortunately, however, Sicily, though
united with Naples by a common Head, had been lung
considered by its natives as possessed of power and
right sufficient to become an Independent °ornament.

The countenance and the constitution it had recei►ed
from England in those ►iews, during the recent war,
and the treatment it afterwards recei►ed from the
tiu►ernment of Naples at the restoration of Peace, en-
gendered those unfortunate feelings which produced
the recent lamentable explosion. Of the nature of
those feelings we may form some notion, when we re-
member the condition of Ireland at certain critical pe-
riods in the commencement of the late war.

The Battering appearance of the Stock Market, of
which we made mention yesterday, was not of lung
continuance, fur, towards the afternoon, various re-
ports of an unfavourable nature got into circa-
lation. Amongst these was the musacre at Sicily,
which has since been confirmed, and with some
others of minor importance, checked the market
which at that time looked extremely well, and from
68$ fell to 681, though they left off 681 buyers.
This morning, Consols opened 681, and went
sellers for a short time ; but they have become
buyers again, nothing of moment having occurred
to create any fluctuation. Money still continues plen-
tiful at 2 and 3 per cent.
