MEETING TO A PP1111:611 Tit ENG.

IDIETIYG TO ADDRESS tit WM.
The inhabitants of Brighton, must, of course, be 111101,1
if nut from principle, from interest. They had long been
distingnished by their regard to the King ; but of late
it seems their sympathy and respect for the Queen had
very visibly predominated. No small concern was mei
that account excited amongst those most deeply interest-
•ed in the prosperity of the place; and means have been
industriously employed to move the residents and visit►
ors to efface, by some demonstration of loyalty, the ow
hyourahle impressions that might have been entertained
in consequence of previous occurrences. fay the follow-
ing letter, we learn the amend* holiorrable has teen hap-
Lily made.—%t the sister watering place, Margate, the
ultra-loyalists, as appears in another part of our paper,
have been less successful.
Baroirrox, OCT. 27.—The King arrived here on Wed.
nesday evening, at half-past seven o'clock from Windsor.
A concourse of inhabitants, many of whom had flambeaux,
assembled at the north entrance of the town some time
before ; and, on the near approach of the royal car-
riage, greeted the return of our Patron with cheers.—
It WAS intended to illuminate the town on the following
night, hut the order, published to that effect by the
Iligh Constable, was, at the instance of the pnblie
meeting held the same day at the Old Ship to address
his Majesty, countermanded, in order that that testi-
mony of respect might be reserved for the next visit of
the king, which will be at no very distant period ; and
when die time for preparation will enable it to be at
once most brilliant and general.—His Majesty is ex-
pected to take his departure to-morrow.
The meeting of the inhabitants and visitors to address
the King was held at the old Ship Inn, and the address
uas presented on Friday by a deputation, consiting of
Sir 3latthew Tierney, (tart. the Dean of Hereford, Hr.
Carr, time Rey. Hugh Pearson, the Rev. or. Styles, Wm.
Esmi. John Hall, Esq. Walter Barran, Esq, to-
gether with Mr. .1. Myrtle, the High Constable, and
Thomas Amer, the Town-Clerk.

The irentlemen who distinguished themselves at the
Old Ship, and nho moved and seconded the various Re-
solutions, were Sir M. J. Tierney. Dart. the Rev. Dr.
Car, Dr. Styles, and the Rev. Mr. Pearson.

The Nlerting to Address the Queen last week was fol-
lowed by a ltenuisition on Noonday, calling upon the
inhabitants of Margate to inert at the Tuwn-hall on
Wednesday, to vote an Address to the King expressive
of a determination to support the constitution of the
realm AGAINST THE rTII. DESIGNS AND WICKED P/tO-
- OW ALL WHO XIT ATTX/IlrT TO DF:STIIDT IT.

The publication of this Requisition, reflecting indi-
rectly on those who had attended the previous meeting.
excited a feeling of resentment throughout the parish;
anal as soon as the doors were opened fur the business
of the day, the Town-hall was filled, or rather, literally
crammed.

r. .I resin mit as nne of the requisitionio4, and pro-
posed that the Rev. William Frederick Bayley take the
chair.

Mr. 0. V. Iluvrctl in moving an amendment, would
make no comparison as to the competency of the two
gentlemen, hut be proposed that the chair should be
tilled by Francis lib, Ell., (Deputy of the Town)
bring unwilling. that that geteleman shoed be treated
on the present occasion with less respect than was
unnalle 'hewn bins.

Mr. JAKYIII again rose, and stated that he should him-
self have proposed Air. Cobb, but that Mr. Cobb had
previously declined the seat.
Mr. flux rca then observed, that he should like to
have a sta:rturnt to that effect front Mr. Cobb's own
month.

After a considerable time spent in violent vociferation,
for Mr. Cobh to take the chair, (in the course of which
Mr. Jarvis observed, in reply to a remark from Mr. Mills,
that oue man might lead a horse to water, but twenty
could not make him drink), that gentleman observed,
that feeling himself luminal to the taelt....he beed leave
to decline presiding on the present oecaden.
Mr. J IRVIA immediately proposed the Rev. Mr. Bay-
ley a second lime; wi.rn Mr. Mills moved, that Mr.
li-obert Salter sl 1,1 take the chair, which was carried
without a dissenting vote.
Mr. SALTER after having in vain solicited Mr. Cobb
to preside, took the seat amid a thunder of applause,
when

that it was always customary, when a body of men sign-
ed a Requisition to rail a meeting, as in the present in-
stance, that one of them should preside; but as the per-
sona present had thought proper to elect one who dial

The Requisition was then read from the Chair.
Mr. lirs-ren rose, anal in a spirited speech addressed
the Chair, in the course of which hr ohserteal, that hr
would abstain frosts any remark on the conduct of the
gentlemen who had just left the room, leaving them to
their own feelings, u Melt he was convinced no one there
would envy them). He a onclueled by obverting, that as
the loyalty of Ilse town of Margate had hitherto always
stood pre-eminent, and nothing had occurred to impugn
it, he sbottlit move that there was no necessity for any
.'address to the King on the subject, particularly as one
had so lately been presented.
The Resolution heist.; seconded by Mr. Wright, anal
read from the Chair, was carried unanimously.
3lr. Ili•xyro congratulated the Alerting on the mode
in which the lansiness of the day bad terminated, on the
victory they had obtained, anal snore so on the derate
course they had thought proper to pnrsite, in the full
tide of their prosperity—conduct more than sufficient
to satisfy the most lastioliosts, of their loyalty to the
Throne, and their love of the Constitution ; (*or if the
party it Ito !sad an precipitately seceded from within
those walls bad continued to press their Address, it
wduld have been his painful duty to have met ryery pro-
position with a counter resolntion. Hr concluded nub
an eulogiosat nn the rotoiltirt of Mr. Salter, who, in spite
of-threats held out. had arteil an honest and manly part
throughout the whole of the proceedings, and he there-
fore proposed the thanks:of the Aleetiess to Mr. Salter,
for his manly opikitift in the chair; *hid, resolution

A similar et-solution was voted, on the motion of Mr.
Wright,- to G. V. limner, Esq. for his eirertions on the
hresent oreasion,enh.tneed lay the present ill state of Ilia
ealth, evidetely unfitted

The Sleeting Olen aljonrned, and thus terminated a
day which will long line in the reuretubratwe of the in-.
1141dt:tuts of Margate, !both for the events we are nowi
commemorating, anal as tae ilibilee of a late happy reign.
The striking contrast between the model-11000 of titel
victors, and the haughty attempt to libel thew/ell-known
alkegiance of the Alairgate people, will for ever exist a
toonunient of tltei r nttnehtiont to our Iblosard ronstittition,
in spite of attempts to drive them to ohre loyalists.
