PARISI! OF ST. BOTOLPH-WITIIOUT. A LOGATE.

A numerous and respectable Meeting of Ladies and
Gentlemen was held at the vestry-room, on Friday,
the 15th instant. to consider the propriety of address•
ing her Majesty the Queen. At eleven it'elock Mr.
,John James Harris was unanituonsly exiled to the
chair. Ile stated, in consequence of R regw sii io.t most
respectably signed, he had ronvened the present .-.ret-
: and he felt happy i.s steins; one so truly re•
spectable and numersins. lie felt much interest in
the question, because he though; our liberties were
at stake. and an injured and persrcn►ed lady was made
the inedinin through whirls the blow was to he struck.
He shrmlil however leave it in other hands to by the
',Object more fully before them, and though lie t.-iisted
unanimity would prevail. express;y hoped, if there
were gentlemen who differed from him and his friend,
on the subject, they would have a fair opporismity
given them of stating their opinions.
Mr. DOCKER 111E11 rOSI. anti said, in tiSilit,r to prd•
pose the resolutions he held in his baud, he frlt shwa,
diffidence, because there were gentlemen in the parish
older and more able to do justice to tl r subject; butt
as it had been die wish of several of his friends, and
feeling anxious in the cense, he would attempt to lay
an impartial statement before the company pr,:ient.
The Queen had no alternative left but to return to
this country. Her remaining abroad would have been
tacitly acknowledging her guilt ; nor would her Ma=
irsty pamperer have thought of revisiting England
Lot fur the insults offered her is every shape. Her
perstentors deprived her of her just title, and theq
degraded her by erasing her sane from the raven of
the rlinrco. How infferentk, 414 the good old King
