the King to dismiss from his Counsels, mon who had
promoted a measure which went to impair the dignity
of the Crown, and to sap the moral feelings of the peo-
p'e.—(Applause.}—He concluded by expressing his
hearty concurrence in the resolutions now submitted to
the %+ard.--(tireat applause.)
Mr. Werrwoon declared his coincidence in every
thing that had fallen from the gentleman who had
preceded him ; and merely wished a declaration which
lie held in his hand could he annexed' to the reso-
Ltions.

➢lr. JENNINGS (who was the author of the decla-
Patina which the last speaker had in his hand) ex-
pressed the desire hr had to see unanimity pervade
the ward, and to hare a document emanate from it
which carried their universal assent.
Mr. HA ItTLET also condemned the secret conduct of
the" loyal addressers," who mrt at the London Colfee-
konse, to pat together a patched-up address. Such
conduct, he thought, called fur the adoption of the re-
sointions now proposed, and which lead his curaial as-
s•mt. He did not yield to any of the " loyal" ad-
dressers in a devoted attachment to his Ling and
constitution, though he could not but condemn the
contact pursued Icy the gentlemen who bad met at the
ll.enslon toffee-house.

The resolutions were then put and carried, tiwre be-
ing a very large number fur them, and only six band•
held up againat them.

Mr. licantxu then said that he had an address to
propose : but as he was anxious fur unanimity, he
withdrew it. to make room fur the deelaritiou alluded
by Mr. 11'estwood.

This declaration was now read, and it comprehended
nearly in the saute words the whole of the loyal ad-
dress agreed to at the London Coffee-house, with the
addition merely of the following paragraph : " lint
we cannot sutler the present opportunity to pa7s,
without expressing our great and unfeigned joy at the
abandonment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties insti-
tuted against her Mojesty—such ex-post jingo pro-
c::edings being inconsistent with the estublithed prin-
t iples of our glorious constitution, and calculated to
'etre a blot on the history of the cuua'ry."
This Address, after some contertation, was agreed
t ottani ttttttt sly, with the omission of the third para-
fr ph (front the loyal address,) which imputed the
prevalent.? a a desire to overthrow the institutions of
t7i.. country."

BISHOPSUATE WARD.

A very numerous Meeting of the Inhab!tants of the
IV trd took place in the London Workhouse, Sir k.
C. th.rsiN in the Chair.
Sir It. C. ("LYNN road fiV^ !^ltela from former MIMI-
I:ors ..f tie Court ; n h.!itt were Mr. Itunistead
ut I Judith's, fisting, that they found it incout-
potible with their other pursuits to continue any
10-iger Members of the Court, and most respectfully
r..luesting that their resignation would be accepted.
1%1.r. I:oss, till° had been returned by the Ph-
e7.et of St. Martin's Outwich, declined standing for
t: office.

3lr. Counzu., in proposing Mr. W. Johnston, re-
gr. :tell that so many able anti independent men had
ti-tired, but ass not apprehensive that their places
nould nut he supplied by men of talent and integrity.
The tletttlemaii he tiroposell was the son of Mr. Ebe-
nezer Mingo'', a sufficient introduction to insure hint
ricre,s. Ile possessed his fathers's independence and
plitical principles.
When 3lr. Pearson n•as proposed, a person in the
crowd tied out " Is Mr. Pearson qualified?"
terman Sir R. C. Gt.v.vs—" I know nothing to
the contrary."

Mr. Pc.sttoN—" I ant qualified, and shall an-
sn cr any question upon that or any other subject
the moment nty time fur addressing the meeting ar-

r~vrs."

1!r. DACICA, in offering hi" tkerl lees said, his
pubic principles reinAitted unchanged. He should
do lii" utmost in the cause of reform in the strict sense
u. the word.

Joeva•rox said, he should always keep the
standard of reform in view.

Mr. Sits's:Ns recommended to the meeting to take
men who were tried Well, rather than those of who:.►
they bad no experience, fur words were not to he de-
pended upon. Formerly all the qualifications required
of a member of the l awmon Council were, that he
should be fat, or play a good game at cards. Some
had sung themselves into the Court, and some had
eaten themselves into seats. lle hoped that men of
sound understanding would in future be chosen.
• fly such as now stood up agaimt an unpopular Mi-
nistry, the cause of the people must he essentially be-
nefited.

Mr. Warrom said, it would be indelicate in him to
pro.bioe any thing ; if the Ward Uhl not like him, they
might turn him nut. lie was the advocate of civil and
religious liberty.
Mr. PEARSON said, that when first he stood forward ,
is a candid ote to represent the Ward, he had made
promises which he would defy any man to say lee had
ever broken.—(lpplanse.)—lle had been asked whe-
ther he was qualified ? to which he s'..ould reply, with-
out fear of contradiction, in the affirmative, and that
he ever should be qualified to represent the Ward,
which was the birth-place of his political principles.—
It hail been said that a prophet would meet honor
every where, except in his own land ; but the conduct
of the Ward of Cripplegate proved, that while other
places approved of the conduct of one of their Repre-
sentatives of that Ward, the Members of it would do I
him equal honor. He concluded by assuring the
meeting that he should continue their honest and effi-
-
tient Representative.—(Applause.)
The Cuotastas then declared that the show of
hands was in favour of all the candidates, with the
exception of Mr. Hoare, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Ross, who
had withdrawn his name, and Mr. Benjamin
Windus.
Mr. !Yam claimed a poll in the name of Mr.
Hoare.
Mr. WHITE wished to know as much as possible of
