Tull QtYSEX.

Yesterday, pennant to requisition, signed hy chose
. or hundred inhabitants of the United Karialies of St,
tibles's and St. George's, Bloomsbury, a public Meeting
of the Inhabitants was held in tlae Freemasons' Hall,
tor the purpose of considering the proprirtv of present-
ing an Address to her Majesty. Lang before twelve
o'clock, the body of the Hall, and the galleries were
crowded to excess, by a most respectable assemblage of
Lilies and Gentlemen.

The Chair was taken by J. A. Hums, P.si. one of
the Chureliwardens, who, in a few words, stated the oh.
'pet of the Sleeting, and expressed his hope that every
person would obtain a fair and candid hearing.

Messrs. Moore, Waithman, join. Sir ti. Noel, Dart.
Major Cartwright, Sce. were present on the pla►form.

Letters were read from the Marquis of Tavistock,
'.:;r It. Wilson, the Hon. 11. Bennet, Mr. Denman, Mr.
Whitbread, and others, apologising far their nomatten-
danee. but expressing their approbation of the object of
the Alerting, and their wish that the united yoke of the
people might be directed by Petition to the House of
I mansions against the Hill.
Mr. NM Moose, M. P. then rose to move the first
RE -solution. Want of space compels us to omit the ob-
ten-alias* with which the Resolution was introduced,
11.1 t we vannot refrain from noticing some of the remarks
ttith whirls it was supported. In looking at the deti-
.‘isuts itt the Lords, he said, it struck him first, as a ye.
maeltuble fact, that one-third of the Lords did not vote
at All; one-third was absent, notwithstanding as artier
gad corrupt a canvass for votes as had ever taken place,
even in the most rotten and corrupt borough.—(Ap-
p!..ose.) There were twenty Bishops—(a laugh),
vi clot of them were found absent, twelve of them voted.
eleven out of th • twelve upported the (till.—(fries of
shasur.) Mr. Moore—lt might he shameful, bat it was
tore true. Why, might it be asked, slid not the entire
of the Bishops vote? They found that they could not
tote for the Bill, and something told them that they
Optstkl not vote against it. 'lime are such things u
pluralities and translations, and should ever a retorts.
take place (it could not take place too soon), the coign-
• try would have to consider with respect to these plurali-
ties and translations. Eleven Bishops voted for the
ltill ; one only voted against it. That one was the
Arelihishop of York.—(Applause.) He did not wish
to impute a hail motive; he was %tilling to give credit
to the Archbishop, hut it was somewhat curious
to remark, that the only Churrlitnan who supposed'
the Bill, was one who (-mild meet with no preferment ;1
pl real above all favour; the smiles of the Sovereign
s.r the power of the Minister could not make his,, higher. I
!low different to a plain man would appear the duty of
the instead of supporting the Bill they shouhl
isa‘e into the closet of the King—they should
have represented to him the cruelness, the inpstice,,
and the danger of the measure—and slimed the Throne'
and the Country the lamentable ronsequences which
Issilllst follow such a measure. They, hot , took!
au.,ther course, and what was the end of the elnnisy
f:irer Why nothing but the defeat of the Minister.
Take. said be, take from the numbers who somber!. 41
the Bill the names of the Ministers and the Officers of
tut. Household, and the prosecutors will find themselves
in the most wretched and forlorn minority that ever ;
to *Eked the disgrace of a fallen Minister—(.applause.)-1
liappSly for the country they were virtually defeated ; '
the attssek was made upon one branch of the Throne ; I
if our branch of the Throne were degraded, they might
then tremble for the rest. The Honourable Gentleman

1,, the course of the proreedings, a rommnnication
Tr,, made to the meeting by Sir Koller% Wilson. It was
a 1 .:ter containing a copy of the Quewe's Protest or de-
r:Aration to the Moose of Lords. The contents were
lei I by Mr. Barber Beaumont, the reeding of the eon-
Olt paragr:iplt in which her Majesty declares her
i”-orence, excited the strongest emotion in the assembly.
id try, indeed, all the ladies were moved to tears. Most
of die men involuntarily rose from their seats—the scene
leas novrl, moving', and in the highest degree impressive.

Saturday was cnentnitted to Ilchester Gaol, William
11% rne, who . has been for several years Governor of
Walcut 41w-house, for embezzling sundry articles of
wearing-apparel, belonging to the parish, which had
limn (*trusteed to his care. _ _ _

The Gdsetts of Saturday contains s loyal address
froot.'such of the inhabitants of Margate as withdrew j
from patine !ocean., of which we formerly gave an I
account. These people, like the addressers of Exeter,'
went greatly at a loss for matter on which to compli-
swot his Majesty. Initial of giving vent to praise
and thanks, they affect to give way to tears. They
are solicitous about " our invaluabiz constitution,"
rod " p:otectiott againat.the designs of wicked and
prodigate aim" So far well; but it would have been
better if they had shewn in what respect the constitu-
tion has been injured and endange:ed, anl by what tie-
scrOtiou of tin'sning nos.
