COMMON COUNCIL Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held, for the purpose . of receiving from the LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs elect the Answer given by his MAJESTY to their invitation to dine with the Corporation on the ensuing Lord Mayor's Day. The Report made by the LORD MAYOR and She rif& elect was read by the Clerk of the Court, and stated, that immediately after the election of Lord Mayor, on the 29th of September, they had, in cbe- I dience to the Resolution of the Court, pas , ed on the 11th of the same month, proceeded to Lord SID MOUTH'S Office, in the expectation of receiving from his Lordship his MAJESTY'S Answer to the sold Re solution of the Court, which had been communicated to his Lordship by the City Remembrancer imme diately after it had been passed. Lord SioNtouTir being out of town when the Deputation waived on him, they did not see him till the 2d irritant, when he informed them that he had laid the communica tion he had received from the City Remembrancer, containing the Resolution of the Court of the 11th of September, before his . MAJESTY, and received his MAJESTY'S commands to i:.frrrm the Corporation that his MAJESTY Would be on the Continent on the day mentioned in the Resolution of the Corporation, and that it was his MAJESTY'S desire that none of the pro ceedings used on that day should, on account of his absence, be delayed.—The Report being read, Mr. OLDHAM addressed the Court. He said, all must regret that the objects of importance which no doubt called his Majesty to the Continent should pre vent the City of London from having the opportu• nity afforded them of testifying their attachment to their . Sovereign in the mariner that had been cus tomary at the commencement of a new reign ; and it certainly was not the lees to be regretted from the knowledge, that had the Coronation taken place at the time appointed, instead of being postponed, there would have been time for his Majesty to visit Ire land and Hanover, and also to honour the City of London with his presence on the day that established usage had led them to hope that they should be so highly honoured. However,' there could now be but one feeling on the subject, that of deep regret at the disappointment. It was considered by many a very difficult matter to determine how the Court should proceed in this painful and unexpected situation. He was anxious, as he well knew the Court must be, to shew all possible respect for his Majesty, and at the same time to save the Court from any dishonour; and, as it did not appear that the Royal Family were invited by the Corporation sxcept on special occa sions, he had prepared a Relolution, which he hoped would be found to embrace both objects. He then read his Resolution, which stated, " that as it appeared by the Report of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs elect, which had been read, that the custom observed by several successive Monarchs, of honouring the City of London with their company to dinner on the first Lord Mayor's Day after their Coronation must be de parted from on the present occasion, in consequence of his Majesty's absence from Great Britain ma mat ters of high importance, the Court hopes that his Majesty will be graciously pleased to honour the City of London with his presence to dinner in their Guildhall, either on some future Lord Mayor's Day, or on any other occasion;" The Resolution being put, was carried unanimously, without a single observation being made on it. Mr. OLDHAM then moved that a copy of the Re solution should be transmitted to Lord Sidmouth, to be laid before his Majesty, which was carried in the same manner. A motion was made that the fine paid by Mr. Al derman GARRATT to be excused serving the office of Sheriff, which office he has since consented to exe cute, should be repaid him. Several Members of the Court spoke in favour of the motion, alai higkly enlogiced Alderman Garratt, whose services as Sheriff, it was said, would be much more valuable to the City than any fine could be. The motion was carried unanimously. REFUSAL TO CALL A PUBLIC MRETINO IN SOUTHW A R K. 1 A Petition was presented from the High Bailiff of Southwark, praying that he might be allowed to en joy his office with the same emoluments that his pre decessors had done. Mr. LowtmLs moved that the Petition should be referred to a Committee. Mr. FAVELL said he had long lived on terms of, friendship with the High Bailiff of Southwark; it was therefore with great pain that he felt himself obliged to advert to his conduct on a late occasion ; 1 but he could not think he discharged his duty if he voted for referring a Petition to a Committee, the object of which was to give that officer an increase of emolument, without first calling on him to explain his conduct on the occasion of the Meeting that was called in Southwark, to take into consideration the dismissal of an honourable Officer from the Army. 'Could anything, said Mr. Favell, be more constitu tior.al, or more honourable, than, to call a Meeting for that purpose? and yet the High Bailiff refused to comply with the requisition of the inhabitants for an object so praiseworthy! The practice of Sheriffs and other officers refusing to call the People together to express their opinions on public subjects, was be come frightful. It was one of the first and best rights of citizens to assemble together on . such occasions; and he hoped the High Bailiff could not know the danger of his conduct, and was prepared to erplitin it, as this Avas a time in . which it became the People to be peculiarly jealous of their rights. Mr. DIXON said, the only question before the Court was, whether the petition should be referred to.a Com mittee to report on it? and it was not fair to take the officer by surprise and call on him to explain his conduct, without having given him any previous no tice. It was quite competent for Mr. Favell to mike a distinct motion, requiring the officer to explain his conduct, and giving him time to do so. Mr. FAlTctat. said he was quite willing to makes distinct motion on the subj2ct. Ile thought it right, in the. first instance, to give the officer an opportu nity of explaining his conduct, if he chose to avail himself of it. He certainly thought it a proper time, when an officer asked a favour, to inquire how be had conducted himself in his office. Alderman BnowN thanked Mr. Favell for having abstained from political discussion, and confined himself to the coaduct of the officer. He con ceived that a public man best performed his public duty when lie shut his eyes to party, and gave to all fellow.subjec:: as oproituoity u, declaring their opi nions on public questions. When an olliccr asked additional remuneration, it was a proper time to in quire into his de-;ervings ; he would therefore propose as an Amendment, that the Committee should be instructed to take into consideration the High Bailiff's refusal to call a meeting of the inhabitants of South wark. After some discussion, the motion, as anscatled, was carried. SPA-FIELDS RIOTERS. A Report from the Cenrnittte, to v.hom had been referred the Petitions of Messrs. Beckwith, Brander, Potts, and Re; praying compensation for the losses they sustained by the Spa- fields Rioters, was read. The Report stated, that the Committee had examined the allegations of the Petitions, and recommended that the sum of 1:1,100 should be given to the Peti tioners in compensation for their losses. Mr. FAVELL said, the principle of remunerating persons who sustained losses, under circumstances similar to those of the Petitioners, *as acknowledged, and since the time they had suffered the loss com plained of, an Act of Pailiament had been passed to provide a remedy—this was therefore the last appli cation of the kind that could come•before the Court, and it had his hearty approbation. Alderman Bnowt said, when the Petitioners had made their application to the Court, his feelings were hostile to it, but he had since seen his error, and was now happy to acknowledge it. No one could be more ready to grant indulgence to the involuntary errors of a Magistrate, It was indulgence he might have occasion for himself—be could not say how soon. He was certain that any errcr that had been fallen into by the Chief Magistrate on the day of the riots, was not intended, but he was also of Opinion, that the loss sustained by the Petitioners was caused by the defective distribution of the City Police, and that therefore the Petitioners had a claim on the Court for remuneration. Alderman WOOD said, he felt himself called on to address-the Court, by the allusion that had been made to his having committed an error in the distri bution of the City Police, on the day the riot took place; he denied that any error had been committed; had he a thousand constables, he could not guard every shop in the City. The Meeting teak place at an unnecessarily early hour. Watson came into the City before he had received any information of his coming. There were no constables at the instant at hand, and all the mischief was done in a few minutes. As soon as possible officers were distributed and pri. soners taken. He was ready to stand or fall by the evidence taken at the time, which was minute and scrutinising;-but he could not admit that there had been any error on his part, because it was out of his power to prevent what took place. Mr. T. N. WILLIAMS observed, the last speaker had said he knew nothing of the rioter s til l th e y came into the city and effected the mischief ; bat when such terrific meetings were to be held, he should have had a power ready for the protection of the citizens. If it were proposed to bring soldiers into the city, he (Mr. Alderman Wood) cried out " Sacrilege !" and now he says the constables were sufficient. He certainly thought so on the day of the riots, for he shut him self up in the Royal Exchange to save himself— (Loud cries of disapprobation). Mr. Alderman WOOD said, the Gentleman had made assertions directly contrary to the fact. He en gaged the Sheriff (Alderman Bridges) to be in Spa fields, and give him notice of any tendency to riot.-- Still the rioters were in the city before he had received any information. Mr. Williams had said he shut him self in the Royal Exchange, but had not stated how he got there. The fact was, when he heard of the approach of the rioters, he went out to meet them, accompanied by Sir James Shaw, and seeing Cash man, who was the leader, he sprung forward and seized him. Sir James Shaw seized an• ther, and they brought both prisoners into the Exchange, and kept . them, though repeatedly fired at. He had never parted from Sir James Shaw, and that exalted cha racter could tell what his conduct had been, as could also a Gentleman then present. Mr. FAVELL said he was present when Alderman Wood and Sir James Shaw carried their prisoners into the Exchange, and the rioters fired several shots at them; but so far were they from consulting their own safety by staying in the Exchange, that Alder man Wood left him in charge of the prisoners there, and sallied out with Sir J. Shaw, to meet the rioters. Mr. WILLIAMS attempted to speak again, but was prevented by cries of " the Question." The motion •was put, and carried unanimously.
