± t 0 c: 'X Si tt . n v el .tiia exllenek: i. ~@ y existing Establishments is the cause of all our oe s (which by the bye are grossly and mis- ebievously exaggerated), how it happens that (luring the war, when our annual expenditure was infinitely greater, and our t , 4'stablishrnents upon a lilt ger scale, how -it happenS that the pressure was then nnfelt ) and we were prosperous, while the lesser pressure wears. us down to ruin and despair ! It - will regnire sOine skill to demonstrate, that the 'nation which could sustain an expenditure of 110 millions a year, of which much was paid in Foreign Cu►ln tries, must sink under en expenditure of fifty tuillions paid at home, and three-fifths. of it in the shape of luterest to Native Creditors of the state. One Combatant in this political discussion com pares Great Brirain to an exhausted horse, bornt , down by a long journey with a heavy load on his back, and he , recommends his being immediately divested of his pack-saddle, and hulled out to frolic and pasture. The comparison is not complitnentary, and, like most of such illustra tions, it is inapplicable to the case. As well might a War Horse be substituted for this Hack of the Titnes, and the conclusion of the-argument run thus : He has been engaged in battle, and come off victorious with some noble scars and much fatigue. • Divest kim of as much off' his war load as you can, without exposing him to be found utterly unprepared, while yet the sound of the trumpet is in his ears, and the clashing 'elements of discord are uncomposed. Loosen his girths and groom him well, but still retain the saddle, and be ready, for you must travel on, and cannot stand still. Moderate exercise is better after the race than an entire cessation of motion. But, after all, this dispute, though of extreme importance, has very hale to do with the Lon don Meeting, which, as we have repeatedly stated,. \ 4 1% not competent to remove political causes of distress, but simply to relie v e the, distress, by Whatever it is occasioned. Those who stirred up the political question, have more of the leaven of Faction than of Charity in them, and accordingly they have ctnabletl us to read their opinions, in :stead of their names in the list of subscriptions. • A Morning Paper (says the Times) has been long and strenuously conterolin for a Reforni in Parliament and we rejoice to perceive that it lots at last., even by its..own account, obtained its leislies in A,vitat it calls " a perfect representation, of the Realm," assembled last Monday at the City er London Tavern. These are its words : "We 3+ ever knew a Meeting of greater respect" (re spectability). " It was composed of a per fect representation of the Realm : fey the Cr("vo, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, 'with, the Commons, in all their degrees of Land and Sttfekholderi,' Clergy, Professions, Merchants, Ilantifactuters, 'Traders,, Artists, and Artisans, were all represented by Princes of the Wood Royal, Archbishop s and Bishops, Peers, Knights of the Shire, Citizens and Burgesses, Ministerial and °Pllosition, i n Parliament and out. Never was formed in one room a more complete epitome of The Y. tole Natiop." We are sorry that the opinion of the Paper in Sltiestion should have been so much mistinderstood. Po far from considerkug the meeting to.day as it did YeSterd,iy, it roundly asserts that, " but for 'he'll/Tie voice of Lord COCHRANR Ministers would h.te e .obtained the sanction of a .Meeting (to 't loch they had by circular letters invited a host Phteemen, pensiotnrs, sinecure holders, con tractors and dependents), to the publication throughout the country of a gross delusion.

Benjamin Joh»lon (who: *AS recommended to he' employed as a .patrole by the Recorder of London, that Gent lennot having been deeeiVed by his supposed ttetivity•in detecting and prosecuting 'Offendets) having lately been mentioned uniting others as being concerned in planning robberies, and it being ascertainea that he went to Faiflop fair without Orders, where he apprehended a well known thief, and took two guineas or 0 two ponnd note to liberate hint, he was suspended from his bair.eofn horse !wrote, ain't htt Magistra;e thought it right to order hint into en , torly till the suspi cions circumstances against him werecleared up. ' • A few days since information was received from respectable than of the name of Baxter, and verified upon oath, charging Ben Johnson :with being concerned with his son in breaking open a house, or assisting, and - aiding and abetting his son' in'the Commission of the crime, by first asso ciating with his son as a thief, and going with him to -break , open the house, anti afterwards calling himself a constable, and then taking him into ens todV- For this . Baxter was tried, .and capitally Convicted ; 'but was reviled on condition of his being transported, and be has been sent to Bo tunv Bay. Yesterday Ben Johnson was placed at the Liar, and all the persons who bad the least knowled ge of the transaction were summoned before the Magistrate to give evidence respecting it. Froth. them it appears that the brother of Baxter, telt) is transported, paid his addresses to the alneghter of Mr. and Mrs. Snowshilf, in Gray's-inn-lane, spatters-makers, and fiont him it was' learnt, that Mr. Snowshill had a considerable sum in 'Cash and other property in the hodse. Baxter, who is transported, being the associate of .bad characters, soon came into their. practices, and on the 'Sunday afternoon previous to time Jubilee which took place in the Parks to celebrate lb: peace, 'when it was known that Mr. 'and Mrs. 'Snowshill and their family would 'go out to view the preparations for the following day, the house of Mr. Snowshill was then broke open by Baxter, the prisoner, Ben' Johnston attending hint. Baxter went up stairs, where it was sup posed the principal treasure was. After some time Baxter returned down stairs to Ben Johnson; he pretending to be mummaging about below for property. Baxter told him, mine of the keys which he had got .would ope n the bureau lo c k s , and therefore he had not stolen any thing! The prisoner johnsdn then furnished him 'with' other ' keys, with which he went up stairs again, and with the fresh simpply of keys furnished by Johnson, he then opened the locks of the bu t . reati, and brought down guineas, half-guineas, seven-shillings pieces, and Other coins, to the amount of between 701. and BtIL , besides,other property. Ott hifi'commtinicating to the prisoner Johnson what he had done ; Johnson then threw off time mask, disowned his being a thief, said he had been ; deceiving him, anti that in truth and its fact he Wag a constable, and he was his prisoner; .and Bray,' a man connected with the City Police, was in waiting to assist in securing him. Baxter was taken by Johnson and Bray to the watch-house in Eagle•street ; where, on account of its h e h4 a very remarkable day, the watch-1)0111e keeps: and his wife recollected whit had passed. When Baxter was brought to he lodged in the watch. hense, , ,rhe prisoner Johnson confessed there, that he knew the robbery was to be committed, and that he , bad been laying in wait to apprehend BAXte47. • MrS. SnoCrshill , recollected in a conversation site had with the prisoner Johnson, that he said, w h en s he semonst rated with him as to when Baxter came down stairs witimont having stolen any thing, why lie sent him up stairs, again with other keys Johnson replied, it wonid not have a nswerrd his parpose if he had not let him take property, and from this time conclusion is, that lie considered he should 'be entitled to a retvard on conviction for breaking open a honie in the day time, and stealing to a certain amount; and a Tyburn Ticket. Johnson denies the principal and most immaterial part of this statement Against him. lie a d mits that lie knew the robbery was going to be com mitted, but that it . was through ,the 'private in formation of a thief, of the name of Goulding, who acted 01 a nose to him. He denies that he assisted Baxter in breaking open the house; anti he also denies that part of the conversation with Mrs. Snowshill, as to his saying that it would not have answered ilk purpose if be had not furnished Baxter with other keys to open the bureau to get at the cash. • It was on , this very tri:d of Baxter that the Re corder pronounced his approbation of the conduct of Ben Johnson. George Brown, another discharged patrole, was brought to the Office from Brideweli, to undergo another examination, but their being no fresh ac cusation against him, be and Johnson were both retnanded. MAwstot:-House.---Tbe interest excited by this atrocious combination attracted a great crowd yesterday, when Brock, „Pelham, and the Barry*, were ordered up for public examination. The LORD MAvott, however, from a Consideration at circumstances, remanded the parties till Monday next, when they are to undergo a final examine. tion previous to committal.
