—.a.—
After the first Resoltition waived by air: Gibbon had
• passed,
MT. BEArell AMP moved the second.
Mr. TNELWALL proposed the third resolntion.
Mr. SKELTON. the Bariister, pureed the 4th
resolution. He could have wished that a certain Noble
_Puke, who bad peculiar opinions about public meet-
isee, were present, to see this highly respectable
Aesenibly ; and be bat sure he could hardly venture to
vitt it a farce, Wattle they were all of one opinion—
a terrii which he had applied to another respectable
ofetetiogs,,on the same ground. He hoped, however,'
*et this farce would not be succeeded by another
li t. y.---(Hear.)—He sincerely hoped that such a
ge of measures would take place as would, to use
ittql
e 'language of Mr. Creevey in the house of Commons,
prevent one part of the people from waging war on the
ether-•s The lion. tient. (Mr. !tollhouse) had said that
4 talithiag. had been done on the subject of the outrage 1
Manchester: yes, something had been done--a
ter of thanks had been sent to some of those who—
would scari•ely trust himself in describing them,
P who certainly were not blameless on that occasion,
and the public saw that his Majesty was afterwards
addressed-from Cowes, which gate rise to the hnntor-
c'-;s obsetvation, that whilst her Majesty the Queen
h.i..1 been -itidressed by all the. Bulls in the country, the
ping hail been only addressed by Cowe.—(Mtieh
tinghter.)--The Learned Gentleman then went on to
Amy the importance of supporting at such a moment
such an intrepid public advocate as Sir F. Burdett.
He looked upon the sentence which had been passed
upon him as an acquittal. lie concluded by moving
the resolution, which W 3% in elTed—that when fur
soch conduct (as that of Sir F. Burdett) they sew a
fallow subject punished as fur a crime, they had too
meth reason to fear that some further attack was me•
dilated upon their remaining liberties.
Mr. PA ROE I N a (the ex-Sheriff) seer:tided the resolution,
which was put and carried unanimously.
Mr. SKELTON moved the fifth resolution, which
stated that there was no hope of recovering their lost
rielits and liberties, or of preserving those which
,till remained, without a full and fair representation
enhe people in Parliament. This Resolution was
seconded by
• Mr. llu.sc, who observed, that surrounded as the
Riag was by parasites of esery description, there was
nu chance of reaching the royal ear, except the people
fruity expressed their opinions in site!' meetings as the
present. lie would mention as a proof of the kind Of
kinguage addressed by those flatterers to the royal ear,
one fact. It was known that his Majesty bad taken
unto himself a Poet Laureat, and the business of this
Poet Laureat was to write odes to please the royal ear.
The present Laurent, Mr. Southey, had written odes
year after year ; but few, if any of them, reached the
public. This year, however, it seemed it was to
be- differeat, fur he understood that Mr. Southey':
snit for this year was in the press, and about to he pnb-
Wittig, Lt was, he understood, called " the Vision of
Judgment," and it was so differen t from what the people
,bad a-right to expect, that he would mention some few
*Ling' which bad leached him r:specting it. In this
ode the poet imagines himself to have fallen into a sleep
(!aughter), aud, taking the illitstrazion from scripture,
in that state to hare been taken, like the prophet of old,
by the hair of the head into the presence and before
ibe throne of the Almighty. '1 here be sees the ac-
cusieg angel, who denounces the crimes of the great
city (which the poet intends jor LontiOn), pronounces
'it to be full of blasphemy and sedition, and calls upon
the Almighty to destroy it. At this moment the poet i
aces another angel, the angel of mercy interfering.
Who prays that the Almighty would spare the city for
the sake of a few who were as the salt thereof. lie
-(4lr. Hone) supposed that the poet meant by those
•poml people Sir W. Cortis, Alderman Atkins, Sir C.
Flower, and a few other rnagistrates.—(lle.a, and
' laughter.) Ile had mentioned this circumstance to
allow that, while hie Majesty was surrounded by such
flatterers, it was impossible that lie could know the
real sentiments of his people, unless they firmly de-
soared their opinions in public meetings.
The resolution was then put, and carried unani-

measly.
• Mr. 11. SKFLTON, in moving the next resolution,
'Observed that he wished to set the meeting right neon
1 ear matter. It had been stated in some of the news-
papers that several gentlemen of the opposition had
waited upon Sir Francis Burdett and offered to pay his
'fine. This, however, was not the fart. The whole sub-
scription depended on them, the meeting. It was from
their mites that it was to be raised, and be had too high
an opinion of their liberality, of their generous wish to
scpport their excellent representative, to doubt for a mo-.
iti.lt of the success of the motion mitt) which he should
conclude. fie then moved, " that our friend and repre-
sentative, Sir F. Burdett, the isompid opposer of the
people's enensies—the steady supporter of the people's
.e.iglit!‘ —having for his manly and excellent address been
Rentelir..ii to imprisonment, it is our duty to mark our
'ens,' of hi., many virt nes—of his arduous and undeviating
conduct through a period of ?.-I years in behalf of the
people —of his former and present privations and
. abridgments of his personal liberty, and to assure him
of oar unalterable support."—(Heal'.)
This was put, and carried unanintoutlY.
3 Mr: IL SKELTON also moved, that as a proof of our
:attachment, we do hereby resolve to raise, by public
inbscription,the sum of COBOL, the amnnnt nf.tine int-
.
VOW, dpbn Sir Franeis Batditt, and to pay the same to
the Aloft of the Court appointed to receive it.—(C beers.)
