THE Corporation nf' Skinners having met this dat a on the butinets of the new Bill intended to be brought into Parliament for regulating the rolke of the City, and having dtli• berated thereon, did nnanintoufly approve of the 8.11 in its priiici ple ; being convinced that the Police eftahlilliment has been emi nently ultra. The Corporation, however, it of opinion that the Bill ought to he very much intended hi its dailies, and aifo, that one elaufe ought to be added, all of whith will be pointed out in the fequel. Before doing fo, however, the Corpcnation cannot help expref fing its regret at the little and unfounded kaki* which the Cone- Mon Council have all alcinventertained of the Board of Commit. !loners, as the Corporation with p leafure take this opportunity to fay, that, in the opinioti of this Corporation, the Commifiioners of the Board of Police have uniformly conducted themtelves with the great& probity ; with v.& attention to the duties of their office; and in that cundud, have feeraingly been aduated folly by a BrOng dcfi e for the public good. • Having had occafion to (peak of there two bodies, the Corpora tion was naturally led to take a comparative view of the conduct of both ; and troth impels the Corporation to fay, that while the conduit of the Board teems to have been mahly and open; court ing, in place of Ode-avowing to avoid, inveftie ition of their pro. eetdirgs, and molt anzioully dams to cultivate and pre terve eke proper chain of conflation, which always ought to link the Elec tors and the Elected, that ache Common Council teems to have been very much the reverts; as that Body, with no Nola faltidi ournets acid arrogance, appears to have drawn a line of circumval lation between the Citizens and themfelvee—a demarcation which the Council clearly has no right to make; but within which the Citizens have a good and undoubted right to approach. We, in that very City, have had experience of the gond atten ding the fyltem of public Managers being elated by the Citizens in their retpeddve Wards. This fyitern has been recognized by the Legftlature. Much public gti has arifen from it ; and the mode of eledtion has not, on any o e oecafion, been attended with tumult, or inconveniency. This Corporation, therefore, and for many other too good reatons, which could he aligned, is molt de cidedly of opinion that a ciente ought to he inferted in the Bill, evading that the Commilfioners to be eleefted under its authority lhall alto form, and be the Common Council of the City. This is the mode of elect ing Common Council-men in the City of Lon. den, and there can be no good reafon why it ought not to be adopted in the City next to it, -en the Blind, ai to popelation.— Indeed this mode has been often prime:fed by tonic of our witett ' and melt refpeetdble Citizens, but who did tempo% the matter from the dread that it would be attended with with tumult and loconveniency. That fear, however, it is tow Proved, was entirely groundlefs -.ant`, as has been already often raid, we have exo- • rienced the pradticability, as well as the utility of fuels mode of elation. ; The Corporation underftands that the ezetnelitore of the com munity greatly exceeds its income. What a ftriking emceed thence arifes between the management of a Body felt seeded, and not ac countable, as is the cafe with the Common Council, mid the Com miffioners cledted by the people!! In the Mt. matters have been to managed as to bring the yearly expenditure far above the inetame. In the Taft, loos to leave a furplus. Although the Corporation is hopeful that the mode for eh —ghee the Common Council now recommended will be granted by the Legiflature, whereby any remarks on the particular clautee of the Bill would become unticedrary.lt will, however, make a few. The Corporation then is decidedly of opioion, that the Altar ment Ronald not exceed that of the prefent Act; and that not one Exthing wiring either from that Alreffmeot, or front fines un der the Ad, mould be taogible by a Body which is not ac. countable, and whole Finances are already in loch an uncommon Rate. Neither, as this Corporation thinks, thould the funds ap propriated for the Police Ettablifhment be burthened in the firalleft degree with any expmee which has hitherto been turbine d by the Common Council, fuch as that relating to Fire Engines, dec. As the Corporation corifidcre the weight of a man's purfc, or the value of the houfe he lives in, no proper rule by which to elli mate either his probity or his umierdatiding, it appears to it, that the qualification fur a Commillioner ought not to be altered. Alt bot:gh the Corporation is fenlibie many frauds are COMmit • ted in the fide of Ceal, it is very evident that the laws already ex ifting are amply fulficient for checking the abufe ; and that it would be unwire and impolitic to afford the Common Council a pretext for having imputed, on a limitary of life, a Tax which would rage from 'sod. to 20001. a year. Should, however, an inipoit of this kind be found ablolutely neceffary, clear it is as the fun at noon, that not one farthing of it itioukl be tangible by the Com. mon Council, but by the Commiffioners, between whom and the Citizens there Is a powerful conftitutional link of conneetion, aid who therefore publifh their accounts, and ni ;nage their Finances wifely. Bellies the greatelt part of what may be taken front the Citizens by this impuft, would, in this event, count (r therm in laying the Alletrinent for the Police. The Meeting, however, is at opinion that the other Corpora- tions of the City ought to meet, and deliberate on this irneurtabt hulloes. Thereafter it was ref ived unanlno;dly. aft, That the thanks of this Corporation arc due to the worthy, patriotic and independeet Commiffioners of Police for this City, for their zealous and Ready attachment to the interefts and w.l - of their fellow Citizens, for the honourable and able dirchtirge of their duty as Commilfioners of Police ; and particularly tor their uniform refiltance in opy•ofing the (showgirls and perniciou, chutes introduced into the propofed New Police ill by the Ma. giftrates and Towo Cr 'Mei! of this City. ad, That this Corporation will en operate with all the other Corporations and public Bodies, in this City, for the purpote ef obtaining, by all legal and cotillitutional 'ventures, the Claufe and Amendments now propofed, inferted and made in the Bill in quettion 3d, That this Minute of the Corporation be fubfcribed by the Clerk of the Corporation in name of the fame. and that it be pug tithed in the Glafgow Herald and London Evening STAG. lay appointment, and in name, of the Corporation of Skin. hers in the City of dlargow.
