An unhappy instance of Aristocracy, pot in appo-
shims to D►mocracy, end we merge), in opposition
too, occurred yesterday in the division at the Court
of COMM, Criuncil; for although in the whole som-
ber. the majority in fawner of the Resolutions was
26, and would have been much mere, bet that se-
veral Members went nut After holdiag up their bands,
thinking the question derided and at rest ; yet of
sight Aldermen present sir voted in the negative, and
consequently only two In the Amadeu. Is this
picture calculated to tooth the elisions and troubled
eyelid the People when regarding the conduct of peb.
lie men, tad viewing the slate of politic affairs?—
The Iletiaropius always guns to the gin, whether it
be is the East or Wiry !

sons,and the greater part of them freeholder.. yet the
Prosecutor's Solicitor thought fit to make such a se-
lection from t►e list as deprived many of the indivi-
duals, who had so handsomely come forward, of the
honour and pleasure which they had anticipated, in
becoming secedes for men who, both from their own
feelings of ceaseless rectitude, and from the public
sympathy which they enjoy, appear rather is the
light of oppressed men in the attitude of freedom,

People, you will, with your "teal row tte.y.permit me
(through your impartial columns) to appeal to the
Welled and observation of that east assemblage
which yesterday at:endrd the Palace-yard Meeting,
mina evaironed and choked up all its "senses, tic.
Sir, as motive must neer l7 precede and replain
its corresponding actions, so the reason of my now
addressing you, arises not only from that in.
fusible adhere: re to truth which 1 invariably
oh is all my intercourse and dealings with
mankind, bat also from the errand:es and con.
.gliding statements which appear in many of the
l'ape.s of to.day, as to the number of persons
yesterday assembled in end ahootPalace.yard. Some of
War Papers slate that there were ten, fifteen, I wensy,
sod some thirty. and Gfty theessod persons. Now,
sir, 1 am coo Pent that all these statements fall
short of the truth, and 1 sill else you the MUM

highest newsiest point was about two o'clock, when
the whole of Palace-yard was filled, with the es.
i tetanal' of* small emote angle on the left of the

want of enquiring, 1 urns inform/al at the time by a
Gentleman (nee of the Newspaper Reporters), who
stood neat me, that from the wood paling on the side
of the Thames to the oppooke iron railing, which in-
close" the C' each ground of Westminster Abbey, it
will contain, by adosersuremsent, one bandied thou•
sand persons, allowing eighteen inches equate for each
person. Now, Sir, the whole of this space was closely
occepied with the above 'sorption ; therefore, if we
deduct tweet, thossend for the loosely occupied
cotter, there will remain eighty thossand pe .
Nor, is this all, S r; for the additional spectate's
