ontstep the boundaries of sobriety ) and that with
saris favourable opportunites the usual enemies of
rare and property, could not refrain from promoting
and extending riot. But who can express or conceive
the disappointment ! The night passed off as
peaceably as the afternoon. The Ex-Loani-klivon,
and his brethren of the Aldermanic gown, who
had sagationsly given vent to their alarms and
taken the precaution to place their forebodings on
record, bad the mortification of arising in the morning
without being able to complain of the disturbance of
an ordinary midnight broil. It is truly pleasant to
behold the faces of these gentlemen now, and to listen
to their language. A fter the proofs of the good sense
given by the great majority of the people of this me-
tropolis, on the day when they allege the Radicals ex-
pected to hare seduced them into riot, if not into in-
sorrection, their gazette, The Mormileg Poet, asserts,
we may etitert.iitt well-founded hopes that a new
era is opening." We, for once, agree with this
great oracle. We do believe that a new era is
opening. The Ministers and their tools have been
taught inch a lesson as they cannot easily forget.
The orient has been convinced that the calum-
nies of the public enemy arc as false as they ate foul.
As in every recent instance of tumult in the country,
it has been proved, that the interference of the
tary ha, been either the remote or the proximate
rause, so it is manifest that the British people, when
left to themselves, unmolested and unprovoked, are the
truest and the firmest friends to regularity and older.

Nothing of an official nature has yet transpired re-
specting the deliberations of the mighty powers as-
sembled at Troppatt. Persons resident there arc not
more informed upon the subject than those at a distance.

Vterixa, Nov. 14.—The military preparations, which
have been prosecuted with increased activity since the
commencement of the conferences at Troppan, leave no
doubt of the expedition to Naples. The Antic Coon-

The Meeting of the Freeholders of the County of
Middlesex, which was to have been held this day, has
been postponed till Friday next, the Sth instant, at the
request of several of the Gentlemen who signed the re-
quisition, on account of the notice nut being considered
sufficient.

cirr BUSINESA.

A Special Court of Common Council was held this
day, in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, for the pur-
pose of proposing a dutiful and loyal Address to his
Majesty.
The Loan Meson took the Chair at a quarter past
twelve o'clock, at which time there was scarcely suf.
Ilcient Members to form a Court.
Tne Lord Mayor informed the court that her Ma-
jesty had received their Address and returned a most
gracious answer, which was read by the recordr.
Among the Resolutions of the day to be submitted
to the Court, the two following are worthy of parti-
cular notice:—

It is proposed, that the Representatives of the City
be instructed to oppose any Grant of Money out of the
Civil List, until a suitable residence is provided fur
her Majesty, and a recorupence made her for past
injuries.

A motion to present the freedom of the City to
Messrs. Brougham, Denman, and Dr. Lushington.
On the opening of the Court, a communication was
made by the Lord-Mayor requesting they would take
into consideration, and come to some conclusions, re-
specting the sword hearer's table, in which Messrs.
Farell and Dixon spoke. The matter was interrupted
by Mr. Brown's moving the standing order of the
Court, which provides that or. all occasions of peti•
don or address to the Royal Family, such business
take prcLe.lente. This was on a proposition from the
Lord Mayor waved. A petitition nas presented by
Mr. Deputy Valiance from the Ward of Cripplegate
Within praying the Court to take into consideration
the propriety of addressing the King to dismiss his
Ministers. The Petition wasintroduced and read after
some obseruations by Mr. Rieke. An objection was
raised to the sap ion of " without delay," and on
the motion of Mr. Alderman Waithman, it was entered
on the minutes, and the discussion postponed. A
similar petition was then presented by the Deputy of
the Ward of Ilishopsgate. The Address WM then
moved by Mr. Alderman Waithman, and second-
ed by Mr. Taylor. It expressed the dutiful and
loyal attachment of the petitioners to his Majes•
tv's person, and represented the manifold evils re-
sulted to the country from the pernicious counsels
and measures of the present Ministers, especially of
their oppressive, unjust, and unconstitutional pro-
ceedings relative to her Majesty, the Queen. It con-
cluded by praying his Majesty to dismiss from his
counsels for ever, the advisers who have brought so
mach calumny upon the country•, and excited the in-
dignation of the whole people.
We never remember to hare 'seen a Court of Com-
mon Council so thinly attended. Aldermen Wood,
Glynn, and Cristopher Smith were present.

Roes'. SocieTv.--Yesterday being St. Andrew's
Day, the Royal Society held their Annual Meeting at
their Apartments in Somerset-place, when the Presi-
dent, Dr. William Hyde Wollaston, in the name of the
Society, announced the adjudication of the Gold
Copley Medal to Professor John Christian Oersted,
fur his Electro-Magnetical Discoveries. The Society
then proceeded to the Election of a President and
Council for the ensuing year, when, on examining the

After the Election the Members of the Sot iety dined
