rhe SfIctrapaiio., The'r.wy Toalitol itame to the-deters-41min*, Kt the close of

last week, of convening a prillifie meetiner for Ale purpose °remit% up a Wel- lington address to the Kis* Aceordistnty, the following advertise- ment appeared in the Tory papers of Saturday- " A meeting of the merchants, hankers. shipowners, and others ronneeteil trith the eitylifl,ondoe, desirous of expressing their assurance of loyalty 41141 5ttal.11111t.la to the Sovereign, on the occasion of the late exercise aline ittlyall prerogative. u ill be held on Tuesday, at the City or Lon !on Tavern, at Vasty/ &stook; 1Vi1linin Want, 1;:ai. in the chair."

From the wording of this advertisement, it would seem dint the meeting was intended to be a public one—at least all who were ready to express their " loyalty and attachment to the Sovereign " were invited to attend. Many of the Reformers accordingly prepared to be on the spot ; but in the first place, on Monday, a deputation had an interview with Mr. Ward, the Chairman, to ascertain whether the meeting was to be a public one—whether it was to be considered as expressing the feeling of the citizens at large, or merely of such 'l'ories as signed the proposed address. To this question no deriive answer could be obtained; but on 'Tuesday morning the following notice, with the proposed address, was put forth.

" thew be any persons ho do not concur in the sentiments therein, exproe.1, they 5,01 he pleased to Ufalerst and t I a. the invitation to attend this meeting I, 1,1 .10.,:ressed

Leaving 5.) all such parties I he chuiee of their own Mole oi theft sentiments, this meeting will ennline ii self to thc support of the fo'lowing ess " To the King's Most Excellent Majesty. •• We, the undersigned merchants, bankers, shipowners, traders, and others emnected with the eitv of Lon lon, request permission at the present juncture to am:, ,ich your Majesty fl,r ihe plops,. of renewing the expressiou Drum dutiful mud loyal at tochment to our Majesty s person and crown.

" That your Majesty may long continue to reign over a dutiful and loyal pem■le, and that your sitbjects may always show themselves thankful to a gracious Hence for the public blessings they enjoy in this land of ratioral liberty, is the Mould,. prat er of " Your Majesty's dutiful sel jets."

The Reformers still suspected a trick ; and about eleven o'cleek on Tuesday, Messrs. Grote, Crawford, Norman, Isaac Sells', Clay, Fearon, and others, had a second interview at the City of London Tavern., with Mr. Ward and some members of the Tory Committee of preparation. Mr. Ward then stated, that the attendance of ail but those who were favourable to the address was precluded ; and it was agreed, after some discussion, that Mr. Ward should state pub!iely at the itieetilig, that it was not a meeting for discussion, but rnsrely one for agreeing to the address. Mr. Grote and his friends were then to retire.

In the mean while, the hall and staircase of the City of Lonion l'avern were completely crowded by well-dressed persons; for the Police kept off all wilt, were in the garb of mechanics. The doors were expected to lie open at twelve o'clock, but they were kept shirt till one. It then appeared, according to the Chronicle report, that the space before the platform was occupied by about two hundred Tory partisans, who had been admitted by a back staircase. The rest of the room was immediately filled by a nestling multitude of persons of both p rties. Ott the right of the chair stood Messrs. Sully. Grote, and their friends ; on the other side the Tories were marshalled. Mr. Ward took the chair amidst prodigious uproar. Ile attempted to speak, but not a word could be heard. Mr. Grote jumped on the tale and endeavoured to procure silence ; and the other gentlemen made the same attempt ; but all in vain. Both parties in the body of the room continued bawling at the top of their lungs with disgraceful perseverance. A choir was put on the table, for Mr. Grote to occupy; hut a course that gentleman would not take it. A fter waiting some time amidst the most discordant yelling, Mr. Ward declared the meeting adj.airned ; and retired with a small party to a private room, where the addrass was " passed," and thanks voted to the Chairman. The Reformers adjoin ned to the London Tavern, leaving a number of their party in possession of the room where the meeting was to have been held, as a corps of observation, in case the Tories ::hould return. Mr. Clay took the chair at the London Tavern; the great room of which was immediately filled. Mr. (I. W. Norman, the Lank Di- rector, Mr. Prescott, the banker, Mr. B. Wood, brother of the Alder- man, and Mr. Weymouth, proposed and seconded two resolutier:s. The first stated the reason of their having assembled,—namely, that the Chairman of the meeting just dissolved had declared that it was not one for discussion, and thei efore that the Reformers had ailjoul.ned to another place. The second resolution was as follows- .. That this meeting does not 3 ield in loyalty to any class or assembly of his Majesty's subjects ; and tt,es are desirous at all times fully to recognize ataluphoht tbe !loyal pwrogative in he choice of Minister,; but while avowing these sentiments. t I xy earmot refrain from 1.3i prcminK their deep regret at its recent exercise in the dismissal of the late Administration, atIll in the appointment of Ministers, who, whatever may b • their present ticclaratious, are not, from their past conduct, entitled to the confidence of tho country." Thanks were voted to Messrs. Grote, Crawford, and Wood. The two former gentlemen returned thank* in energetic speeches. I .deed, all the oratory mt this meeting was of a very spirited descriptio arid indicative of any thing but indifference. While these proceedings were going on within doors, the Po1ie were exceedingly busy in provoking the highly excited multitude wit out, by seizing the placards which were carried before the Tavern., inv Cog the Reformers to be at their posts at the meeting. There was nothing im- proper in the placards themselves, or in the conduct of the :nye who carried them ; yet the Police, acting, it was said, tinder the °niers of the City Marshalman, and he under the Lord Mayor, treatef the latter like criminals, and sent some to the Stationhouse. The :mod sense and orderly disposition of the people prevented a riot, which or,e might suppose it was the intent of the official peace-preservers to create. Jr. the evening, there was a grand-dimmer party at the Man SiOnirettle,

attended by the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Lynd- hurst, the principal other members of the Cabinet, aud about two hun- dred l'ories from the City and West End. The customary loyal toasts were given. Then came the healtbs of the Atchbi-hop of Can- terbury and Lord Lyndhurst ; which elicited replies more than usually frigid from both these distinguished persons. The Lord Mayor pro- posed the health of " Sir Hobert Peel and his Alajesty's Ministers." This, the great toast of the evening, was rapturously received ; and Sir Hobert l'eel returned thanks llt great length. As the orator has taken the trouble to send a revised edition of his speech to the newspapers, we shall, instead of quoting from the common reports, give our readers the bettefit of the authorized version entiro, " Cheers " and " Hear, hears " included.

" Although the Lord Mayor has mentioned my name in particular, in ern/junction tidal the rest of his :Majesty'e Ministers, I am relieved from Met emits, rassntent wide+, on occasions such as this, generally aecompauties the mentiou of an individual name. for I am convinced I should greatly mietake the object, and underrate the iattiortanee of this meeting, if I thought it was intended merely for the purpose ef 'narking respect and conekleration for any person, however Welt his piddle stn l inn. I cannot. therefore, allege as an excuse for the imperfect expression of my ackuowledgetents to this great assembly, that I am overwhelmed by the force of personal feelings.

A correspondent of the 211erning Chrou:de gives the following ac- count of the proceedings of the Police.

" While the proceedings were go7og on in the City of LoatIon Tavera. a poor man was ordered by a getalettlito to parade in the front of the tavern with a board, on which was written fiefirmers, do not leave.' The man in a few minutes WAS roughly handled by a Policeman, who dragged his boat(' from him, and tools him iitto his custody. I have his analher. I wrote it down in the crown of ow hat. The peopie shouted Stop, thief !' came a parcel of poor men with large printed placards on hoards. headed Tory arion;e:nents,' and intimating that the Reformers were not allowed flee disensgion. ana that they would meet, or were then meeting, in the London Tavern. This was a signal for the Alansionhouse brigade to continence action ; the boards were tereited front the men with the most cruel violence. The horrid itufneeations of same tif the brigade against those men who maintained a hold of theil boards, together with the yells of the crowd, and some persons shouting, uMurder ! stop tith-f:' re.% beggars description : nutliee it to say, that most f arfo! blows were struck bv tha Police with the boards at individuals, whoever the/ were, who happened. to be in the way.

There was no disturbance till the Poiice interfered and took the boalds—no noise before they began. The people were quiet, the b,iarils made no noixe, and the men that carries! them paced along as or.lerly as mourners at a funeral. 0.ie Policeman was panicle.. larly useful in knorkirq down.
