nage betel sentiments, wAo will. in their tuturc con. ' duct, consult only the welfare of their Constituents, and not receive the opinions of Ministers with the same veneration as if they were the emanations of divine wisdom. The City of London ought to offer an example to the rest of the Empire. The Livery constitute one of the most independent bos dies of min in the world, and if they do not, in the present instance, make elections worthy of them, they will tint base the excuse of wanting Candidates to represent their City with effect. The Candidates are numerous. Some of them have already served in Parliament, but the talents and principles of the others can easily he appreciated frnn►,their exertions in spheres more confined, but not less within the scope of their fellow-citizens• esti tnation. •With respect to those who have served in Parliament, their merit may be tried by the test of experience, in the manner suggested in our last number. Of the others, too, some may refer to a ost, as the promise of a future; and according as such testimonies of conduct agree with the senti ments of the Elector., the men so recommended ought to he preferred to those who can advance only empty promises. It is dangerous to send men to P.aliament whit have never avowed their political tenets. In the moment of uncertainty they are easily influenced, without the consciousnessof being spayed by improper motives; but the Minister pos sesses so many winning ways, and can employ so many persuasive arguments, that a man of unfixed principles is sure of being sooner or later ranged wider the banners of the Treasury. In Westmin ster, the election will commence on Thursday.— There is but one Court Candidate. In the very seat of the Minister, surrounded by all his house hold troops, he thus dares not to aspire to more than thrilled empire. The independent and con stilutional interest, we regret In see, is too much divided, It is, however, consolatory to find, that of She interest. so far as the sentiments of the Electors have been ascertained. there is a decided majorily in favour of Sir &sawn ROIIILLY.

These unfortunate wretches persisted to the latest moment in protesting their innocence; but in mower to this, which might be construed into a presumption in their favour, it is sufficient to observe, that, though attended by the.

The continuance of the Prince and Princess of Hesse Hombourg here diffuses a spirit of gaiety throughout the place much better imagined than expressed.

The Plaiutitf, wh our readers may recollect in have officiated as a singer at Covent (isrtleir Theatre. for a Colll.literable time mist, sought to recover compeination f. o m th e P ru p rn ... tom of the Thearre, who, it was alleged, Iced, without arty fur reasani, rejected his services, and refused to grant Inns the salary, which, by contract, they were bloml to allow I lt appeared, front the contract, which was regiiirrly 'gored, that the Plaintiff was engaged by the 1'1001(40r%, as singer. for two years certain; and that, having per farmed Isis duties at Covent-Carden fur some time, they had thought proper to ibsiiiiss hint, Oil the ground th:rt lie had Inst his voice. The Proprietors conceived (the voice of the boy having varied very considerably from its original tone) that they were not liable to pay hilts, as he could no longer per form the particular duties which lie was engaged to execute. The Plaintiff applied repeatedly for his salary—but finding that lie was cuirstaritly re fused, he, through M. lather, as he ass hiimelf a minor, brought the 'revert Helton. The contract, lito which Nbisler Bartlett wcs en gaged, for two years, was regularly prove 4. It was admitted, on the part of the I)efenilants, that the la' had been employed for a particular brie of loi.iness—bur it was contended, that, as his voice hail failed, and lie was suit able to do that, which, by his articles lie was bound to do, he had nn riAht to insi.t uu any further remuneration. fly the v 1114.0111 of the Theatre. when an individual, from sleklier.S, or any other cause, became Maws. ble of iwrforriiiiig it:. or her duty, the engagement was, pro [two, Sr an end.

Lord I 7 .l.t.ENttrittounit observed, shirt, on the face of the winters engagement, no stipulation u p.. peared as to the Plaintiff's voice continuing good to the end of the term of his engagement. The Proprietors took his voice for better for worse—and lie very much doubted, if it had improved in a very great tirgri•e, whether they would have allowed him any thing additional. Certainly they were not hound to do so. As to the usage of the thretre, no proof was given of it.
