By IloitscE Twiis, Eq. ,I3areister at Law. (Continued from our Papee of Dec, 7.) The advocates for a general retrenchment would have the people believe that influence has much more than compensated the Crown ; both- for the loss ,of prerogative, and for the growth of the other two estates. They allow ; indeed, (for, upon hoWever loose an examination of the subject, it is impossible to deny) that a certain amount of in fluence was entrusted to the Crown even by the Constitution itself : and they admit, that some ad: dition.to the royal power may have beconieneces ,s'arv, to make amends f`or the loss' of prerogative,- and to counterbalance the acquisitions .of the other two estates : but still they unanimoolv aver that, altogether, the proportion of influence is now ex cossive. Let 'us see, then, in what the alleged excess consists :" let us inqnire what means of in fluence-the Crown at present enjoys, which_ it did "not enjoy at the settlement of the constitution in 1688. The influence of the Crown . consists in_ its power of begtowing either honours or emOhnnents. Now its power of bestowinghonOurs has certainly been in no'rcspect augmented since the revolution. The Kin from the most inciebt times, was al-, ways, at the law expresses it; the fountain of ho— noors. That some of streams from that fowl ; tain ,ire now flowing in channels more "ntniferous than f9rmerlv, I have already acknowledged in the course of my dhserrations on the increase in the numbers of Pee but I llve likewise explained the reasons which induce me to think that this mult L iplication of hereditary peerages has a, ten dency .to diminish rather than augment the rela tive - weight of the executive power. 1.4 on the whole, therefore, I see no reason to believe, nor de..cl is' it very strenuously urged eveti, by the op ponents of influence themselves, that the Crown has gained flinch ',strength II that p:irt Of its inau ence; which consists in the p . wNer of bestowing hon Ours. The 'emoluments . at the disposal of the. Crown arelst, in the church —or, 2:11y, in the state-- or, idly, in the army or gravy % Of those in the church, it cannot be reepiisite to say much ; becauseno one has.ever pretended that the number of royal arid ministerial livings has re ceived any very stupendous addition Slnce the reign of King William. It is in the civil state that the great increase of influence is supposed to have taken place : and on part'of the subject I will venture to state a few general facts, which I hope will not be en tirely thrown away upon the dispassionate reader. They are not all new in theirs Ives ;_ for many of them were presented to the public, by" the Right fianourable George Rose, about two years ago, in a most luminous and interesting pamphlet. ‘lsllt as that work comprehended a very full det . ail and exposition of partie!llars, and therefore may pos sibly require too much labour and attention for the common class of indolent readers, 11 have taken the liberty of • setting down ,the general. results, with such further information as I have' been able to collect. The pamphlet, I am well aware, was severely attacked in the Edinburgh . Review, on account of certain supposed mis-statements ; but as I flatter myself that I can "prove the able con ductQrs of that journal, to have been mistaken in in the grounds on which theyimpeaclied Mr. Rose's accuracy, I am not deterred from assuming his calculations as the basis of my general ,statement. Whosoever may he inclined to do me the honour of exkinining. into the arguments wh:ich:i attempt to urge , by way of answer to the Edinbnrgh .Ije vicw, trill find them in a note, at the conclusion of this pamphlet: I have abstained from intro ducing them into the text, in order that my main statement may he short ; and :simple, and within the compas's of every reader's patience. .For the same reasons, I, have -noticed only such sources of in littencens are of'a permanent nature, passing over thole. few, inconsiderable, and scattered items of expense,. which are merely temporal or occasi onal. Mr: Rose's account comprehends, not indeed the longest, but certainly the most eventful part of the period whhich has elapsed since the Revo ution : I mean the la'St eigift and twenty or thirty years. Earlier, than this time there seem to be no accurate documents from ,the precise in crease or flccrease of influence-'cau- be estimated ; and with the additions of the last thirty years, I shall therefore begin, reserving to myself the pri vilege of,subsequuntly making some conjeetrireY on the probable increase or decrease of influence hi the obscurer period which intervened from the accession of King William to the Rockingham ad ministrition in .1782. • (To be confirmed.)

UNroNJlALL.—Benjamin Towers was brought before the Sitting Magistrate, charged with hay in.: in his possessiti stores belonging. to his Ma jesty.

The Solicitor for the, Admiralty attended, rand stated, that on account of the defendant hav ing been convicted before of a similar offence, he slawild.feel- it his duty to press for the full penalty, which, the value of the stores now found not ex ceeding 2.05. was 10/. He was convicted in tht penalty and costs accordingly. John Fisher was also charged with a silnilar of: fence. It appeared that the officers had infOrtnm tion that the defendant had a quantity of hemp. in his possession, which had been iniproperly ob tailied from some fishermen near Raultside : ,they went to his-house, and on searching discovered a, considerable quantity in aliet state.: The offiCere. were also snformed that a quantity of temp lased been removed from the defendant's house the evening before, which they traced, to li...entstreet, In searching the defendant's house, they disco vered an . half hundred weight, marked with the broad arrow.
