THE ARMY. COURT COMM?N COUNCIL. '; Yesterday, after the usual routine of business of the Court had been gone through, and a petition having been presented from the Inhabitants of Wallbrook for clearing away some houses in Lombard -street, and to facilitate the passage of wagons, Bce. and it hav ing been referred to the Committee of City Lands,. Mr. Alderman Woon said, that no time in his life had he ever experienced more sincere pleasure in rising to address that Honourable Court than on- the present occasion, since he felt assured, that in the sympathising feelings of every individual present s he might look for unanimous support, that in his wish of appropriating the sum which would be expended by giving a dinner to another purpose, he had not only consulted the honour and dignity of the Corpo ration, but also that mode which would be most i grateful to the feelings of our beloved Sovereign, but before he would proceed, he said he felt himself called upon to censure the assertion of a Gentleman who at a former meeting had said that were the charge of the dinner to be defrayed at the expence of each indi, vidnal, the attendance would be reduced to nothing ; this he considered as little less than a libel against the loyalty of the Corporation, to suppose that any mem- 4 ber of that Corporation would refuse his attendance ate dinner avowedly gives for the purpose of cele brating the reign- of a, good and gracious King, on laccount of ehe paltry expenditure-his attendance might', occasion him. The worthy - Alderman then proceeded to state that he had revolved in, his mind various methods of expending this money in a manner which - . 'wottld be at once worthy the dignity of the, Court, ' and congenial with the keliegs of, the-SO'vereign that amongst others the liberation of - prisoners had suggested. itself to his -mind, and had dcCuried ivith ' some force, from , the irec - ollection t h at two persons, who sad' been Mernhers".of flit - Court, were now pining in a prison (on* of them had been very Ludy a Member) ; that he had also thought of erecting' public schools, and' to that purpose had consulted with several of the Court of Assistants; but after maturely considering every circumstance, he said he was led to prefer that mode which would extend its • blessings from the present to the future, and by its continuance hand down the memory of this anniversary to posterity, and serve as an happy illustration of the character of our . Sovereign • he therefore moved, that so much of the resolution Of the 26th of December, which was contrary to the 32d standing order, be rescinded, viz. that part which referred to a dinner being given at the expence of the Corporation, and that the sum to have been so expended be-appro priated to the building of Alms-houses, by which the fiftieth and every succeeding year of his Majesty's reign would be marked by the joy and delight, and comfort and happiness of many of his subjects, and this he moved from the conviction that ; it w o u ld b e gratifying to his Majesty's feelings, and a happy re flection to every Member of that Court, that-he had thus conduced to render the latter days of his fellow 'citizens happy. Mr. But. mid, that every objection which the mover of the resolution had made to the carrying into effect the former resolution for a dinner, applied with equal strength to the resolution he now moved higuelL • IVIr...SAsitrEL Dixox requested that•the Court mighty not suffer itself to be led aside by any ingenuity from, the plain straight forward course they had before re solved on. The worthy Sheriff (Alderman' Wood), might, indeed, gain popularity in that Court by ap pealing to the feelings which were the dearest to good men, and recommend them to do good to the distres s . sod. Whatever act of private charity and beneficence he should point out individually to the Members of the Court, he was sure he would be supported in ; and he would say, that for himself, he should be happy to follow a good exaenple. He should, how ever, be free to say, that he wished the day to be passed in festivity, without abusing the good things which, were set before them. He thought that any thing for the relief of prisoners, or any similar object, might as well be proposed on the day of festivity and even at the dinner, when men's mind's were cheered. He could not help noticing the thin attendance of the Bench of Aldermen upon this and a former occasion. Although they knew the object of meeting was in ) compliment to their Sovereign, not one of the City Members was present. He could indeed account for the absence of one of them (Sir Charles Price.) He, it appears, had been lately occupied, altogether, in calculating the profits and losses of a play-house. Alderman GOODISLIIEftz thought the standing order must be suspended, whichever of the resolutions were to be adopted. As an idea had . goile abroad, that the 'dinner could not be ca'tried, if th/uMembers were to pay for it themselves, he thought that it would be Ibr the honour and djgnity of the Court, that this im pression should be done . away, which would be best effected, by applying the money intended to be spent . Welding and' drinking, to , some better purpose.-- . . dr fie hoped. there would be ncilittempt to impute dis 'neiper. loyalty to those whd thought - die dinner unnecessary. vaior, cit. This did appear to be the effect of intrOdueing the h. name of the King so often in the discussion. • illies.ast. Ls amt. JACKS said, that he agreed in what was the unanimous opinion of the Committee, that the dinner 2 -was not necessary ; and.as for dining at the expellee of the City, he was sure there were many of the Cor ,dr3` poration, who, like himself, could not nor would not ; 1 ,. accept of an invitation on these terms. He thought, that as the Jubilee was an institution of which we had t first heard in Holy Writ, .the best mode of keeping it was that which was pointed out in the LeviticalLaw, of 66 letting the prisoners and captives go free." He thought the very best application of the £lOOO, or Corte et , imeerr, Kisot-eaNs, 'OCTOBER 6.—The whatever was to be voted for the dinner, would be to of.Wheat,this day is very inconsiderable, but ive it for the relief of persons confined for small. !v aitmg the expected arrivals, sales are very heavil razi‘le and again at rather lower prices ; good Red, sebts in the City of London.

What, however,: couldibi r ,toore noble celebration of such a - dxr, -than - tbo.boilding of, hi would suppose,,fifty almsays, to be called the King's alms-houses; and wlinight remain to pos. terity, a permanent monument of the joyful occasion on which - they were erected.—The expence of this ' would not be so great as many seemed to anticipate; and at.,A4 . events, he was sure. that mine other crw-- poratio4l would Co-operate with the City of London on the occasion. Indeed, he had himself commanti-' cation with the heads of some. very respectable Guilds, who only waited for the decision of the City' of London to follow their example. Mr. HErtNE said, that when a celebration of the day was agreed upon, he was convinced it was the opinion of every one, in and out of doors, that it would be by a dinner—(a lakes). Indeed, that was the way in which all Jubilees were cdebrated--Chrisr mas-day for instance; surely there was scarcely a per son - on that day who did not either invite others to dine or dine out himself. 0, • Mr. MAWNTAN had no idea, when he proposed the dinner, of. squandering away the funds of the Corpo ration—very far from it. The idea of a dinner at all did. not originate .in that Court, but proceeded from the bankers and others who had ,o-determined. Indeed, he did not think merely going in procession. to churl*, and then to St. James's, co►rid be called the celebration - of a Jubile: it - might rathene called a last. He *as particulirly' k'ntlbus, that the day., should be observed withivery clein4striiiiciii . of testi, , vity ; because he fl'id understood, that it was ever 'the Kin eahiest pFa - yer that he might be perfnitted to enter into the 50th year of his reign. 11' a►iy better way of rejoicing than the hearty English aay of 'feasting could.be pointed out, he would be'llappy to accede to it. He:had hoped that the expence would be moderate, if the Lord Mayor could be prevailed' upon to lend the - Egyptian Hall, and calculated that it might; be; provided for three guineas per head, which, supposing 250 to dine, would only amount to' 7501: Perhaps the expence might be something more if they - were to dine in Guildhall. It was an occa- 1 Sion on which he thought politics ought to be entirely excluded. He could not. think the Committee could consider themselves ill used, beciuse they knew at t►e time they were making t►eir report that a dinner was the wish of the Cow t. Mr. WAITHNIAN desired that the instructions given to the Committee might be read : they were read accordingly, and he 'proceeded to declare, that of all the extraordinary speeches which he had heard, and he had heard many, the speech of the Member who had just sat down, was the most extraordinary. Hi had said, that the Committee knew it was the wish of the Court that a dinner should be provided—but how did this appear? • Certainly not in the instructions ; for not a single syllable about a dinner was said at' all, and it could not be inferred that the Court Wish ettfora dinner, from. the nomination of a.,. Commit.. tee, every Member of which was notoriously averse to Stich' a meastre. He' was ready . to confess that' kik believed many Members of that Colin anxiously 4d fair 41.diu.ner, and he was now confirmed • tititt belief,. froth seeing manrirdent. in debate that day,: who feldom attended, except when there was a di ner ; ' who, wheh they did attend, never staid beyond dinner hour ; and who made it a point never to open their mouths except at dinner—(a laugh). He was still more surprised at the worthy Member's recom mending the celebration of the jubilee to be kept aparOrom politics: why, it was manifestly a political juggle altogether, and little sagacity indeed could that politician have who did not see through it. He did not wish to impute bad motives to any man or set of men, but when he found a measure marked in its very front *with politics, and emanating in the first instance from those who had always been connected with Administration, or the very creatures of Admi nistration, he could have little doubt in his own mine' 1 as to the appellation which he ought to give to such a measure.' He had the very same opinion on the INo Popery question ; and he knew at that time that math Members of the Government had connection "with the Members of that Court, for the purpose of iiiinlating them to raise the cry. From the same 'some,: he hid heard, that many Members of that Court 'applied for places, and that on this very ques. tidn some Members had applied long ago to distant corpurate bodies, endeavouring to induce those bo. dies to originate the jubilee, in order that, originating at a distance, it might seem the more disinterested.;— (Laid cries . from Mr. Dixon of " Name, Name!) The Worthy Member must excuse me, said Mr. W. if . I pay him po attention, my .mind is now occupied with a saki-L.4'ot importance ; but I will now ask you, my , Lordidayor, if you did not yourself write a letter to the Corporati9n of the City of Gloucester ,to induct theist to irtiminate on this occasion, in order to con - - ciliateAclministration ? • . • . - The !Limo Ma you solemnly declared he never had given such an intimation. Mr. :WAthimAN was well pleased he had asked the question, and he was sure the Lord. Mayor ought to be pleised also, because his plain answer in the nega tive would go to exculpate him from the charge.— He had good reason to know, however, that such a communication had been made to the Corporation of Glasgow, from persons connected with the City of! London. He thought this an highly political ques tion, and one of all others on which it would be least possible to separate the King from the Ministry. The! object for its agitation was manifest ; Ministers knew that the voice of the public was about loudly to ap peal to the Throne, on account of the various cala mities they had entailed upon the country : and this measure was artfully introduced to stifle such peti tions. In this Council, indeed, politics seemed to be excluded, and the leading principle of alltheir debates I appeared, to be a dinner! Even if this dinner was to be given at the individual expence, it was stated, there would Ix no attendance ; so far did their loyalty carry them. He was inclined, if money was to be expended on such an occasion, to follow the principle *of eithEr of the two last motions • he did not care `which. The adoption of one of them could alone rescue the Common Council from the odium. which had publicly fallen on it. Expenee, he never could I , think a criterion sf loyalty, but if it was to .be.in cUrred, let it be in a humane way ; let it be is render- m ssed, And "..- f.' - ' ..... . ak .: . ..r . . ?".. ....r...: 7 . 7, ;ng benittslo . the distr e ssed, int,ennie of our fellow-citizens useful to thuinselves, ilitir chit' dren, and the State.-(Heitr, Imsr !)
