IN I 2 "ow !. hlr . SA *me lest down frets London by the Society or Coopers 'to prevent them Isom prolog up. John White, as extra cooper is the West India Docks, 'wan negated at Bristol by Mr. Thiesepsoue. He saw Pore- Intil at the Hote-ise.the-Wall, and heard hiss say there was Itaitiitte is the West India Darks in London. He does sot ' roti+en►ber leonine him say any Helen more. The coopers at B►lapal Imre 3s 6d. • day, asd wort from six in the emersion BB six at night. Joseph Darby, one of the Liverpool men, deposed, that when the roach with the coopers from Bristol arrived at the Three nips, the drfendsuts, Hocks and Hall, met them 'there, and told them to go with them. He and the others *went with them in the Angel, its the Histories; there was a hoge assembly of alto there, who told them there was a ' g.orral strike among the coopers in London, and hoped they wie,lit ant go to work until they saw farther into it. They .see them something to eat aad drink, and foam' thee I,.,te;oga at the Peacock, somewhere year Whitechapel ; be lodged there two nights with the other Liverpool mess; • their catmint were paid for them ; he did not know by whom. After two days five of the Liverpool men went to Mr. Adams's office, aad told hits what hal passed, sad ware sent by him to work in the West India Docks. Four more of the Liverpool men i. 141 the same the neat day. William Dull, journeyman cooper, was working at Menem. Dimond's, in Whitechapel. fa August last, as was Hawkins also. He was coing with Hankies to the West India Meeks to work, whets they were stopped by two men. He dues not know who they were. He attended at Lambeth-street office when a complaint was made by Hawkins, bat be did not see the ;wrspis who was complained of. Wfltiam filurti•s, a ruin cooper in the Docks....At the t;nur of the atsike lie beard Smith say, at different times, that meetings were to be bell; one of those meetings was at eie Shipwrights Arms, which witness attended. Smith said, a• he was chosen to speak for them, it was necessary that he should know what the ram cooper* hitt...fled to do, whether to strike ui ono, as he thought it was time to come to some decision. That for his own part he would recommend the sum coopers not to strike; that there might be other means taken to support the sugar meo, and to send in t humble petition to the Board. Some were for striking, wine not; nod the permanent moo were averse from either striking or petitioning. In the end they came to a decision tosuhscrtbe :its. each manor., asoppori the men on the sugar side. Witness opposed the resolution, bit was treated rather contempt... oust,. Another 'mimic man, named William Davenport, also opposed it. Smith also recommended the ram coopers not to work ma the sugar side until they got an answer to their petition. _ }ith's advice was to wnd is ow knot. who • of work had assay of hie pelletal,. The men o were out them large families, and the subscription was to enable them to , upport their families. He told Mr. Longimids, the Sr. cretary to the Duck Company, of the advice which Smith hod given. He never heard any complaint of Smith's cha ►acter. William Taylor, a permanent rum cooper in the Mirka, acid that about a week after the strike, Smith asked him fur money towards the support of the men on the sugar side who had struck. Witness refused is give any, and Smith; said it wawa general thing among the rum coopers. Cro.i.eyaui■et.— He believes Smith worked over time two nigLts, or it might have bees three, during the strike. He had know'. Smith many years, and never heard any thing against his character. He has lately been suspended from the Dock Company's service on a suspicion of stealing rum ; and that suspension still remaiva. (this last fact was drawn with enosiderable difficulty from the rehsclaist witness by Mr. C. Phillips.] Charles Peterkin, a rum cooper in the Docks, coolinned the testimony of a former witness, respecting the sneetiag of the runs coopers at the Shipwrights' Arms, and the proposal of Smith to subscribe fur the support of the sugar coopers. Witness himself subscribed. When it was proposed to the rum coopers 10 work over time., the sugar side during the strike, there was a general murmur among the extra mess of • Nu! no !" The officer who read the proposal said, " Not one man ?" and Smith answered " No ! nut half a man." Cross szamisted.—The proposal was to work over time at the silicar side, for which they were to be paid. He hat known Smith eight or nine years, and sever heard any thing srrr•iedt his character. F.ilwatd Paittiden, extra-cooper in the Docks, saw Hall, the Defendant, at the Ben Junson at the time of the *Pike, heard lons say, that if twenty or thirty of the men were hungry he would take them to his baker's, and give mimesis a qoartern loaf a•pircr. He also heard him say, that he had sent the Bristol men bark. James farrow, a cooper at Messrs. Barclay and Perkins's brewery, remembers a collection being made ire August last for the sugar coopers who had struck. Witness paid a sum raised at the bees house cm the 13th August to a person at the Angel, sham be dues nut knot., and Hucks signed his book for the receipt. Sir. 6)1.211'18dt, secretary to the Dock Company, remem bers the petition now .hewn to him, in consequence of which he went down to the Docks, where he saw Smith and s..other man between the 21st mid 25th August, before the 1;.•n 'minted to their work. He inquired whether the peti t: ,:i was from the permanent rum coopers as wells the extra coop , n , or from the extra coopers only. Smrh told him it as the petition of the whole. He believes Smith attended co that occasion by desire of the officers of the department. He read from a list the names of the Directors of the Corn. pany, ■nd mentioned as the east Sir Charles Flower, hot in the indictment the name of Sir Charles Holier was omitted, and the name of Sir John Earner inserted instead of it. The sittsesa, upon being questioned, could not say whether Sir C. Flow,cr or Sir J. Earner was the Humour in August last daring the torn-out. Crots-examined—He never beard any complaint against the character of Smith. Smith remained in the employ of the Company until within a week before this indictment was funnel. Mr. Parish being called again, said, that Smith was pot forward to give the answer respecting the petition by his von party, as being no intelligent mast. The Common S . said the petition hail nothing to do with the conspiracy, as it was that of a di.tiact body, and had, therefore, be• better put aside altogether. This closed the case for the prosecution, sad the Jury ►e. tired to take refreshment. 'cite Defendants also were permitted to retire for the same P‘frer' Mr. CUIRWOOD addressed the Jury in behalf of the De fendant Hucks, and expressed his intention not to call any w:ttiesses, in consequence of the failure of the evidence to establish the cast ou the part of the prosecution. Mr. Baoutticx addressed the Jury on tbe part of Hall, and dwelt with more force on the infamy of the principal v:ntess fur the prosecution, and the coutndictions gives to 11. testimony by several of the other witnesses. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury on the part of Fore arm,' with his usual energy and point. Mr. C. l'uti,un spoke ■ most animated and bitter phi. lip* on the character of Darnsworth, the principal witness, and a glowing mid energetic defence of bite client, Smith. The points which the several Counsel chiefly main ced were, that this was not a conspiracy to raise the wages of the Defendants, three of them nut being iu the employ of the Dock Company ; sod Smith, siho was in their seivice, nut belonging to the class of men who struck, and moreover having used his influence to pieveut the rum coopers, of whores be was our, from striking, and urged them to petition. A number of witnesses were examined as to the characters of the Defendants, and gave them most excelleut twee as honest, industrious, and sober ones. Several of the wit. bros.'s are at present in the employ of the Proaeeutors. The COMMON OFRJEANT summed up the evidence with his usual prispicuity ; lie commenced at ten minutes after tem. Ind did nit conclude until half past twelve u'elick. A short lime before the Learned Judge had concluded his summing up of the emidence, the Foreman of the Jury in formed Ins Lordship that one of the Jurors was much d, and wished to retire. The Common Serjeant, bow. ever, continued. The Jury, after a few minutes consideration, returned a verdict, finding all the Defendants Not Guilty. There was some approbation expressed uu the return of she reedier by persons in the Court. 'The COIDSONI SCHJEANT directed the officers to take into restudy any perm, ti who attempted to disturb the decorum of the Court. which immediately suppressed the approba tion; but on the verdict bring made known to the persons tiGtside of the Court, it was received with three duels. POLICE. MAINHOW-1110t1SIL Yesterday the little urchin, named Jame Stank of most (nominative make, and apparently not more than six or Mesa yeah, of age, was *gait" examined before the Lord More on a charge of bailor • hessebeesker. la our Palm of Tuesday last we gave an account of the Prieither's •xo mimaltoa. The following are the °sly atw features which came out in this examiustsoo : The account width he gave of his coming to the neighbour hood where he was fumed, was most probably true, as beets often gives up by his mother to men of whom he hail so knowledge, to art winter their directions. She had pointed oat time hi:mien, Mr. Richards, a merchant, at the corset of Si. ilartites-lane, near where he was found, as the out which they were to hare robbed, had not the watchama spoiled it by taking him lath custody. lu a few missiles more the thing would ►ave been dune. He carried the basket fee the purpose of euaeealiag himself soder it, and for carrying !b• spoil. Daily, the officer, stated that he had made the Pri souer's case knows to the Governors of the Philaothropie lus•sluhun, as it was highly desirable that so dangerous a charseter shoal•I be takes, out of the hands of his parents. A Gentlessiau attended Irons that highly useful Instil,- tints, and stated that the ease was considered one which had imperative claims upon them. When once the Primmer was within their walls, be would be allowed to communicate wish no our from withoot, soil they were in ao apprehe•sios of his being able to escape with all his taint. The laireats of 'the boy did sot come forward, sad he was therefore oral to the lootitation, where be will be kept for a considerable period, and taught a trade. SOWsoYfteeT. A ease w►ich excited considerable interest occu►red yes. terday, in the clitiroe of the investigation of the charges from St. Marttia'a watch.humise,bufire the silting Magistrate, Sir R. Burnie. A gramme, who gave her name Iferiemab Hagler, was brought from St. Martin's watch-house, and charged by the driver of the hackney chariot No. 1,192, oho slated that he was with his chariot, on Wrditcsilay evening, in the rank is Blackfrianothati; that the Thornier cant* to him nod asked if he was hired, when he replied in the negative, and she ordered loins in drive to the Queries Pshce, Buckingham gale, as quick eta possible; ►ut when he was about half way ms his journey, sloe put her head ant of the wits dow, and told him to drive faster, which the coachman (stating that be had a good pair of horses) did, but when they gut to Pimlico Gape, the Prim/tier told the coachman to drive to Charing.crosa, for she had forgot something. When be had gut there, a kentleennes carriage happening to be passing. she desired him to follow it, which he did as far as St. James's-street. Prisuuer then told hint to drive to the Haymarket, when he, suspecting that all was Not right, was determined to get his fare, mid wheu be arrived is the Haymarket, just as she was going to order him somewhere over the water, he said, •' It is quite time, Madam, that you pay me." As he was relating his charge, Sir Richard Birnie iaterfered, and said it was unfortunate fur him that be had not found ■notber lime foe *slim( leer fur his fare ; the coarbniao said he ought to have dune so, but she looked somewhat more respectehle than her p►rseal appearance. Sir Richard Birnie asked him to explain, std the mach man said that she bad a large silk scarf cm, sod her pelisse was in better cuoilition wSeu he first took her to the watch. ionic ; the constable of the night said she talked very inco herently, sod had no doubt (rum her coadoet that she was deranged. The Magistrate said that lie did net waist that, the account which she gave of herself fully indicated it. Sir Richard Birnie thee gut up sad asked where the watch house-keeper was, and complained of his sever being at the office, and immediately sent for ►im. Sir Richard Birnie said he must make good the loss of the shawl ; it most be observed that there w►re four wretched females of the lowest order lucked up in the same place with the Prisoner. The Prisoner said, that she keels nothiag at all about the hiring of the coach ; that she lived its Artillery.street, altekfriaro-road, and she had escaped from throe, by jumping out of a window from • young Mae who had se duced her, and that she did nut recollect being is t►e watch biiiiPC. The four women alluded to were minutely searched, bet motion could be found on them belonging to the Prisoner. The Prisoner a ppenred to be in a starving coaditioa, and said that ►he had nut fasted • morsel of food for t►ree days. Sir Richard Birnie told the coachman that the woman was liable to be committed for won-payment, but it .ould be of ao use to send • prior creation like the Prisoner to gaol, under such distressing circumstances. The coachtnau said, be was only a driver, and that be was setostatable to his master foe it. ttir R. Biro', said that if his master would call at the office, be would satisfy hint in that respect. The wort►y Magistrate then ordered the gaoler to give her every nuts. rishosent which she could lake, and that be would pay fur it out of his private purse. The poor wretch was so weak as hardly to be able to stand ; her Clothe. had been NM off her back, and she was entirely destitute of money. Sir R. Rhode desired the clerk to make out an order for her ailtuission into the workhouse, in order that she might be taken proper care of until some of her friends could be toned, which was uccurdt•gly dune. lERT. Two men, named Cr:engraft apd TIMM', were brought up in custody, charged with felwaionsly stealing forty-me valuable fancy pigeoas, the property of Thos. Collies, Eaq. of StamNrd.bill. The circumstances that led to the appireheasioe of she Prisoners are of rather a singular watur;,.which will appear de the following statement : Souse time ago Mr. Collins (who has a town-house in Spital-square) purchased ■ quantity of fancy pigeons, some Were very valuable birds, fur the amusement of his sow, and a skive cote was built at the top of a high pole i■ the farm. yard at the bark of his house on Stamford-hill. The birds were kept confined in their habitation till they had become arquaisiteil wish the place, and then they were permitted to fly about, ■ad would come back to a call to be fed by a man whore business was so to do. On Monday evening, about six o'clock, the man left the yard, and the pigeons were the. safe, and ON his mating to work next morniug he found the whole flight had . been stolen, with the exception of three that bad flown aw•y when distorlwd. The man mentioned the robbery to hip master, wise, as g et. ling to town, dispatched owe of his servants to The diffeveist pigeon shops in Spitalfielda and its environs in seareb of them. The servant weal to the shop of a man warmed Base ley, who sells pigeons, near the turnpike, in Shoreditch, where be ascertained that two men bad sold a pair of tam. bleu to bins fur ls.thl., and that they said they bad leo pair more at home that they wanted to sell; sod Wive would treat for their, he should have them. Ho desired them to fetch the birds; and they said they would, and that he expected them back every moment. The pair already sold was pro duced by the shopkeeper, and proved to be the property of Mr. Collins. The servant waited in the shop a short time, whets in came the two inen.wille a basket containing ten pair more of the pigeons, which they ',erred for sale. On the severest seeing them be recognised the birds to be the ranee stolen from his master. He therefore-detained the own, sent fur au officer and gave them in costuely. The prisoner Cascuigne said he had bought the pigeons for lfrs. that morniug, auelfhat be was endeavouring to make ►is money again. Turner said he knew nothing of the affair, and lead only gone with Gasessigue to sell the birds. r`' Mr. Colliai said be had lost some poultry and other stock, 'end had no doubt but the Prisoners knew sumetbiug about it.

HERITAGE:. Chief Clerk. Cba Thursday the 6th instant, ReCirca Marina* was Aciaight to this office, charged by the parish-officers of St. al eity, Islington, with exposing her new born infant in the street, on the evening of the 12th of November last. Mr. hoses Farley, of No. 4, Greenman's-lane, Islington, deposed, that on the 12th of November last he found a child lying naked tin the pavement, apparently just born, its Creop-street, Isliogton, about seven o'clock in the evening. Mrs-Slater, of No. 1, Allen•street, Goswell-street, deposed that the Prisoner came to her house (which is about a mile from the spot where the infant was exposed) about half. put given o'clock the same evening; that from her appear suet she thought she had either just been in the pains of childbirth, or bad miscarried; that she questioned her on the subject, hot she denied it. Mr. Swan, the Overseer of Islington, deposed that on the 14th of November he accompanied Mr. Oldershaw, the Ves try Clerk, to Mrs. Mattes house, where he saw the Pri soner, and charged her with being the mother of the child, which she, on his telling her that Mr. Sinskiu, the parish Doctor. should examine her, confessed. The Prisoner, in her •Jefence„ said that she was near her labour, and pro ceeding to the workhouse, hut was taken ill in the street, when she dropped the child, nut being in ber settees at the time. Mr. Walker, her master, Mated that the Prisoner lived with him three mooths, doriag which time she conducted herself honestly; that his wife had visited her in the work house, where wee was in a derangrd state. This was contra • dieted by the perish officers, and Mr. Sioskiii, the medical gentleman who attended her there. The Overseers proposed declining to prosecute her, but to this the Magistrate did not consent. They then offered to take her to the workhouse till she could rind hail ; to this the Magistrate also objected, hut recommended them to prefer their bill before the Grand Jury the next morning, to prevent her linnet sssss y imprisonment. The Prisoner was required to Sod twu:suretirs (in the usual sum) of 201. each, soil herself in 401, and to give twenty.four hours notice of bail to the Vestry Clerk of the parish.

MURDER AT WHITECHAPRL. A few evenings since a young man of the name of Richard Needs, resoling in the neighbourhood of Castle street, Whiteelispel, was inhumanly killed by a man of she same of Makowy. The deceased was waylaid by Mahoney, with another person, on his return house from she Green Mau publitrbouse, its Castle-street, where some words had pre %grimly taken place between them ; and after being severely Iwilsen wises on the ground, received • fatal blow nn the back of the bead from an immense stone. He was carried to the Loudon Hospiml, but did litti long survive. The de. erased and Mahoney some time since had • pitched battle to settle the differences, whirl, ending in favour of the de.

Is former limes Barber: were also ektrargeons and pMe. &Amnia:. or blood-liter:; and the Pole, entwined with • coloured bandage, as it .till appear., represented the staff which it was usual for patient. to hold during the operation of bleeding, aceompaukd by the requisite ligature for binds log the arm when the operation was closed. The latter inquiry presents a field of wider research, but we will state succinctly what occurs to us on the subject. The old banner of Persia, as appears from the sculptures of Shapour, was • Cross, with the addition of a Globe to each of the three upper arms, by which, no doubt, some piece of Theology, similar to that involved in the Egyptian Globe, wing and serpent. was implied. The Limber& adopted a bemire in every respect similar ; a fact which would seem to imply some remote connexion between the two races. It also appears wpm. some reverses of the Saxon coins, and has desceuded from the Lombards to the Pawnbrokers, who Cause originally from Lombardy, and gave name to Lombard. street. 1161111trIS were always consecrated thing.. Perhaps . originally there were Palladia or talismans stamped with the emblems of the national divinity. NAVAL INTELLICANCE. PORTSMOUTH, DFCEMBER 11.

A warrant of bastardy having been granted to the over. seers of a with about 100 miles from Landon, against a young mars who had absconded, Ihr Gentlemen of the parish deputed an individual, whom they considered to be the sharpest of their comtables, to proceed In London in order to execute it, and fur this puepuire eoi. was granted him to pay his expenses. This the vigilant officer concealed snugly in his pocket book, together with his warrant, and putting it in 164 breast-pocket, he arrived in London on Tuesday last fur the best lime in his life. On hie arrival, above •II places, he sought Charles.etreet, Drury-laue, to take up his quarters, having heard that the object of his min. shin was a resident in that direction. He went into the Coach and Horses, and there sat down with some pent/men, who, with all the dexterity of versed thieves, coatiiied to rut oat the poi ket.book from his coat, unknown in him, whilst he was imolai in eonversatiue.

MA ♦T HEREFORD. is compliance with the invitation from I large bo.ly of the Gentlemen, Yeomen, sod Freeholders of Herefordshire, Mr. Heise left London on Wednesday last, fur the purpose of being present at • public dinner which was given at the Hotel. on Friday, when he was presented with an elegant ffilver Tankard and Hogshead of Cider, purchased by a sub- scriptiun of tine shilling each from •hunt 'l,OOO nervous, who wished to " Testify their approbstion of his services in Pa►liaisient, and acknowledge the korai' his exertions have conferred on the country, in effecting • reduction in the public expenditure, and demonstrating the practicability as well as the necessity of rigid economy iu every depart. meat of the Slate." [Mr. arrival in Hereford, mid the dinner given to him in that city, have beeu already briefly Pruetd in our Paper.] After several toasts bed been drunk— Mr. J. ALVIN, jum then filling the splendid silver Tam- Mud, gave it to the worthy President, and iequested biro its the name of the Committee and the Subscribers, to present it to Mr. Hume, as a mark of their esteem and approbation of his public conduct. Mr. Curer immediately rose, and spoke as follows " Mr. Hoskim, and Gentlemen—You have probs.'!" sail. cipated the toast I am now about to give, it is the health of our guest, Mr. Hume. The Committee would indeed have made a bad selection in the choice of a Chairs's% bad eloquence becu necessary to induce you to pay any compli ment to the toast. 'The numbers (nearly 300, I believe), the respectability of those whom I am roommate enough to be surronnded with, the crowds that accompanied Mr. Home's entrance into our county and city, speak more to the par. pose !ham any thing that even an seats., could say. Nut only, Grailemes, does the indefatigable zeal and ardent cou rage of our guest demand your gratitude, but in him yur see a strong instance of what one man wnh talents aid energy can do, sad of what impottame it is that in those places, comparatively so few, where election really takes place, the electors should be most careful in their choice. Gentlemen, I believe Mr. Hume has with much laborious ■ssiduity not only stedied the subject, but that sight after night he has sat up in the House of Common", dividing the House sometimes with only tone on his side, undaunted by the corrupt majorities that Ministers by their undue im amate cam command. He has trusted to the truth of his statements, and though he could not obtain votes in that House, yet the Minister" have is. some issuances adopted the very reductions they dared in reprobate and ordered their hirelings to oppose. M►. Hume, I shall now briefly state to you, Sir, how the present I ■m to request you to accept originated. Some admirers of your public conduct thought a hogshead of our provincial liquor might be acceptable to you as a testimony of our respect; they met, and having talked the matter over, found so many persons disposed to subscribe, that what was necessary to buy eider at one shil ling each, was so much surpassed, not only shillings enough have beer paid fur the hogshead, but s tankard bas been bought, some other expenses met, and I believe some sur plus will yet remain, which will by the Committee most pro bably be given to some of our charitable institutions ; it is mot cooly krudreds of subscribers I am to mention, I might nearly say t►orsauds, in the plecol. Sir, in the mime of those sabserihers, I am desired by the Committee to request you will accept the cider and this tankard, in testimony of their admiration of your Parliamentary conduct." He dies drank Mr. Hume's health from the tankard, and the follow. iug inscription engraves upon it, was read to the company: " Grateful for Public Services. Tea INHABITANTS or HEREFORDSHIRE Fresaut this Tatman°, sod a Hoossoutit of Canaa n To JOSEPH HUME, Esq. M.P. As a Tarrnaosv of their Arpsoaalsox Of his Parliammtary Coudiact, 1821." After Mr. Clive had presenter: the Cup, Mr. Hume spoke as follows :—He was unable to express is adequate terms those feelings which the present moment occasioned. But, as be, an entire stranger, considered the reception he had this day met with, and the gifts be bad just received, as • proof that his public conduct was approved of by so many gentlemen is liseefordshire, he received them with pleasure, as • proof of their attachment In the cause in which be was engaged. He requested they would accept his siecereacknow ledgineuts for the honour they had done him, sad towered them he would retain with much sot isfactiou the token of their approbation. It was an honour which Wither money nor in- Aueuce could command ; it was the ottbought and dis interested testimony of independsot men; and be, there. fore, prized it more than any gift that could be bestow ed by the favour or caprice of any taw, however high his rank, however great his ;wirer. He trusted that as the present honour was a proof of their gond opinion of his past services, it would prove a stimulus to fu ture exertions in the same cause—the public interest. He was aware that his bumble efforts had been much overrated, and that the benefits to the public its the way of economy and retrenchment, were °wise to the sup port be had received from many of the Members of the House, who, injustice, were entitled to • share of the ap. prubation they were pleaded to bestow. He had the pleasure to see several of three friends near him. His friend Mr. Ricardo had been his most constant and zealous supporter ou all these occasions—early and late he (Mr. Home) could calculate on Mr. Ricardo 's support, sad he had invariably secured it—to him, therefore, • large portion of their approbation was due. Mr. Price, the County Meta ber,and Mr. Barrett, had also afforded bias their aid most zealously whew ',resent; noel the names of the other Ho nourable Members who had so ably supported him, although not very numerous in general, were before the public, and, he trusted, welt known. He felt grateful to all these Gentlemen for their efficient assistant*, suit wished them to participate in the honours of the day. Seel to the House of Commons by the independent and VII' bought votes of his couutry men in the Royal Burghs of Mon truse, Arbroath, aud Brechitt, it was his ditty to watch over their interests, and their interests were essentially those of the public. He had long observed with sorrow the die tressed state of the country which pervaded all classes—the country wax sick at heart of a grievous malady—it had long oppressed the lower classes with want and wretrhedwrrs ; the distal* was spreading to the middle and higher chime* of society, and unless checked or removed, must soon rod is dissolutior. The diacase ender which the country laboured was excessive taxation—the cense, a long eouttiouance of profuse and wasteful expenditure pervadiug every depart ment of the State, from that of the King to the private sol dier. Ott whatever side you looked, the inexuratite head of taxation was dragging half the earning* el ',ideals, and half the returns of property from every indit Moat, to be squandered, • large porticos of it upon idle and useless persons—osy, ow worse than useless, un mischievous pour. posis; it was employed to corrupt uue portion of the com munity to betray the iesterrata of their fellow.conutrymeu— to induce them to sacrifice to their selfish views those duties they owe to the public', and to support • system ruinous fu their country. The effects of such a system were too et 1- deut—povert y and pauperism covered the land, the misers. ble state of millions of the lower classes, the declining &tete of our middle and must valuable countrymen, the ihreutened ruin of our land-owners cud eapitalists; all, all Reese evils were the melancholy effects of that extravagant system now esisting. The object of good govertinneat wits the hap_ pities. of the unity, that they might enjoy the frusta of their industry and the peaceable posseesiou of their rights—the Government at prereut exists.% was one for the bessefit of the few at the expense of the mute , : the larger sod moat im portant lutetium were in a state of beggary, whilst the, few were supported in extravagance and profusion, Vas tkis a stale of things to be tolerated Were we to adopt no measures to check so sictous • sputa "ere see to suffer any longer so great • perversion of the objects of good Go vernment ? He hoped not. He hail been tangles from his youth, that the difficulties and miseries ariateg from extra vagasice could best be cured by economy and retreschateot. If in private life, and its entail establislosieuts,reductioo was the most effectual means of relirviug the sufferiags arising frees profuse expenditure, why should out the same rcasttly be. Applied to the Stott, Whith *as (Ally one large s oc i ety, one huge family. If it was the duty of the master a a • family so .provide for the comforts of those insg et ig t ✓oof, to regulate the expenses suitable to his to provide for the necessary wants, and against the din g ", of abuse i• servants under him; he considered that it was she duty of his Majesty, the head of that nation' bylna Ministers, Id attend to site wants and Mutation of thepeoph., to the income and expenditure of she State, rod thereby to promote She welfare abd hap Pins es of the nation. He would ask the moat partial friend of the prevent Ministe!, whether that was the time at present? It was not; the; continued to lavish the public money fee, Illnrr yea,' a s useless establishments, exceeding the ineouve of she Slaw and the means to discharge these expouses: like the spe e d_ thrifts, they were going on from day to cloy increasing the difficulties of the people, regardless of ih. mist that mg overtake Mt.

After a most Careful examimati.ful of the ikon,/ and expenditure of the runuary he had come to that delibe. rate corelesion. It was his daty, wader lb. toovietios, to attempt the settle remedy fur the public i►ifirmities, ge he world recontimemd for private emba *eats; he had iu that dome uo more Ikea his duly, and the irooseiemious discharge of that duly was due to his coaseiouteato who sem I so hououraiely and iudepeudesitly tu• Parhamert_ jf he had dame le►s be would have sacrificed that tryst re.. poteel in him, aid have betrayed the solemn premises be gave at his election ; be was pewit to ninth that rot *ably cousliteemoi, but that no large a body of be. ceotatryi, men as he DOW addressed, approved so Warmly of his pu b. lic services.
