Alderman Wnecier—lf ionillayer,Fthish this court

than of their lives. (Hear, hear.) I need not
de upon bject. There is but eas feeling,
net only throughout the whole of this kingdoms but that
Fl2llOll also, that the attempt was the most diabolist that
ever was made. The life of the Emperor is not only most
tawniest sad essential to the French people, but to the
world at Inge. (Hese, bear.) I move thst it be rehrred to
a oorandthe of the wboh omit farthwith to consider the
best mode of testifying the
_hangs of this court on the co-
ndos of the late onoll attempt to assassinate the Em-
peror and Emmen of the French, and to report thereon.

Sir .I. Dux r—This motion, I am =re, is one widok won
meet with the unanimous, the hearty end cordial approval of
the court. Having had the honour of Wag fa persona
communication with the Emperor, having bad the honour
of pramting to him some years ago a menial drawn up
and signed by the merchants, hankers, and trade' of this
city, sad bearing in mind the courtesy and kindness with

be wanting in a debt of gratitude if I allowed this motion to
pass without expreesiog the intense gratification which I, in
common with my brethren, experience at the providential and
tortanate escape of the friend and ally of this country from
the lab diabolical attempt at amsminstion ; and I am
not the has delighted that this ocean had an opportunity in
the Guildhall of their ancient city recording their mans of

The motion was put and carried unanimously, amid so-
domites's, and the iimrdow, the Common Serjeant, the
