GUILDHALL.

COURT OF co‘istut4 COUNCIL.
Yestetday, a Court of Common Crtineil was
held in the Council Chamber, at Guildhall. before
the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor. We
never remember to have seen a more numerous at-
tendance, both of Aldermen and Common Council-
men. Shortly after twelve o'clock, the Lord
Mayor took the Chair ; and after some routine
business was gone through, Mr. Roasts.' SLADE
rose, and, prefacing his motion by a kind of apo-
logy for making it without any previous notice,
moved, " that a congratulatory address should be
presented His Majesty on the happy formation
of the new administration."
A sh-irt 'hut animated debate torik place on this; in
the course of which it was urged by several gentle-
men, who spoke against the measure, that the cir-
cumstance of the motion being made without a pre-
vious notice, was sufficient to induce the Court to
negative it; but, exclusive of this, there was ano-
Idler powerful objeCtion, as the Court was not of&
I tially acquainted with the stain' change having
taken place in the Administration.
On the other side, it was argued by Mr. WAITS..
SIAN, Mr. Deputy K ssi ate, and several other Gen-
tlemen, that this being an At/dress to His Majesty,
it took precedence of every other bunness, and,
therefore did away every objeaion, with respect to
the notice. As to the afloat change not having
taken place, Mr. Alderman Cocas: assured the
Court, that he had himself heard Mr. Fox, in the
House of Commons, move hir new writs, in the
room of Mr. Windham, Mr. Grey, and Lord Henry
Petty, they having accepted offices in the new aft-
ministration. The question, at length, was loudly
called for, and was put by the Recorder. The shew
of hands being neatly canal, a division took place,
and these appeared.

allowed to make use of the metaphorical ex-
pression, even though that sad office, tad ilia.
AS yet, been discharged. He then proceeded. and
said, it was not his intention to enter upon
any long or elaborate detail of the services of Mr.
Pitt, his unalterable love for his country, his exer-
tions in her behalf, and, finally, his death in her
c use. To such a detail he was totally inadequate;
but even it he were, he would think it an in-
sult to the Gentlemen whom he was addressing,
if he entered on it. He did not think the failure
of some of Mr. Pitt's islans could be any argument
to prevent the Court from agreeing to his motion.
Every thing that man could do fur the purpose of
serving his country, he had done ; and if any of his
designs failed, it should not be counted his fault.
Such events were more than human foresight could
'raised against. Next to his unremitting exertions
to the setv:cs. of his country, the towering Abilities
of t'le man were to be conadered. For his part,
the more lie thought on them, the more forcibly he
was struck with admiration of them. Hr was con-
vinced, lh.o. had Mr. l'itt lived in Ileathen times,
he woold have been, merely on account of his gigan-
tic abiliiies, raised at his death, by the admiring
people, to the dignity of a Cod. The worthy Gen-
tleman, for a err:shier:able time, dwelt on the many
and extra rdinary merits of the late Chancellor of
the Exchequer ; and concluded by moving, That
a Monument should be meted in the Guildhall of
the City, to the Memory of the Right Honoetable
William Pitt, in consideration of the many and emi-
mint services rendered to his country, of his States.
man-like condoet on all occasions, and of his ttan•
scend int abilities, the loss of which must ever be
irreparable, and sincerely regretted by the nation at
large "
Mr SANUCL DIZON seconded the Motion, and
thought it needless for him to enter into tire merit,
of the man, as they bad been already dwelt on by
the worthy mover ; he was convinced, however,
that they were infinitely superior to any eulogium.
He did not think that the subject was such as should
he spoken of ; a silent, mournful vet*, was, in his
opinion, the most respectful mode of doing homage
to his memory ; and he, therefore, wishing to avoid
every thing which could provoke a debate, content-
ed himself with seconding the Motion.
Mr. R Seaos., in opposing the present Motion,
conceived he was doing no more than his daty as a
Citizen demanded of bins. The measures of Mr.
Pitt, were such, as no man, who felt the effects of
them, could approve. Ile would only call the at-
tention of the Court to the lints inscribed on the
tomb of the immortal Chatham, the illustrious fa-
ther it the late Mr. Pitt, concerning whom they were
debating. (The worthy Gentleman then read from
a paper, the inscription on that monument, which
stands in .;titlithall.) In continuation, he said, that
this was ereffed in memory of real services, he be-
ing the promoter of judicious and stedfast alliances
abroad, and of unanimity at home But, he would
ask, could a monument be greeted to the late
Mr. Pitt, with such an inscription ? When was there
unanimity at home, during the whole course of his
Administration ? or where were the alliances which
could be counted stedfast or judicious ? The former
never had existence ; and to affir m that any of our
Continental alliance.; were the latter, would, in his
opinion, be a libel upon truth. For these simple
reasons, he thought it incumbent on him to oppose
the Motion.
Alderman HAN:KEY said, he should be sorry not
to give his vote fur the present Motion, on account
'of the great and traoseendent abilities which so
conspicuously distinguished Mr. Pitt above all others.
He, however, could not refrain from making an
Miscrvation• on one word in the Motion, which,
to him, appeared to be highly improper, and
certainly ought to be altered. That word was, irre-
parable. For his p irt, though he considered that
the lossof Mr. Pitt must be severely felt by the
country at large, yet he was of op' in, that word
should not be applied in any instance, and it was
his wish, that the worthy Mover would alter it. At
all events, the Motion should have his support.

- -
Mr. Wa animas, in a very eloquent and im-
pressive speech, was astonished that such a proposi-
tion should be made to the Court, and that they
should be called upon by the Gentleman who
brought it forward, for unanimity on the suhjeut.
How could there he unanimity on such a subject?
Did not the enormous increase of the national debt
forbid it ? D.l not the Income and Assessed Taxes
forbid it. The feelings of the Livery would be in.
stilted, when such a measure was communicated
to them. The ashes of the imnsortal Chatham
would be insulted, wh-n such a m-asure would he
pot in execution. He was ready to admit, as well
AS ethers, that the abilities possessed by Mr. Pitt,
were splendid beyond description ; but the possession
of those did not entitle him to a Monument : at
least, if they did, it was net alone on account of
them that the Monument was moved for. It was
moved for on account of his services to his country:
dreadful indeed was the situation he lived to bring
that country to, and much more dreadful might her
1it11225170 he in fume, in emiseqttence of his men-
snres, if every possible precaution were not instantly
taken. From these considerations, the worthy
Gentleman was most strongly imp d with a con.
viaion of the impropriety there would be in acced-
ing to this Motion, and therefore was determined to
vote against it.
Mr. QL'rc entered on the subjeet with a degree of
reltilance ; but a- it was in agitation, he thought,
as a man, he should declare his sentiments.—
Nothing, in his opinion, was so truly despicable, as
a state of neutrality. Those only were neuter, who
were unable to form an opinion of their own on a
sultiett ; or, who, having formed it, were afraid to
declare it. On this account, be obtruded himself on
the Cnnrt, and he hoped he would now be p.orduned
for taking up their time, while he took a review of
the merits and demerits of the man, and gave his
reasons fur voting, as he should do, on the subjeet.
Fie was aware, that the general datrine was, de
ntortuss Isla nisi bonus; hut that had reference only
to private life. The charafter of a public man
ought to be canvassed even after his death, par-
ticularly when a question was agitated, whether a
particular honour should be done to his memory.
—The worthy Gentleman then entered into a re-
view of the whole of Mr. Pitt's political life; first
recounting the different benefits that had accrued
to the country, from his administration, and then
Manning up the many unfortunate events which

day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the
Strand. An account of it is given in our sub-

convened in contemplation of a speedy disso-

for canvassing the County, by the friends of

we do not think its origin a decided objection to the

tion, by SST FRANCIS BenneTT, of the qnestion of
Parliamentary Reform into the business of the day.
'llse enemies of the present Ministry have availed
themselves of carne loose words, which fell, of tee,
from Mr. Fox, in the House of Commons, to insi-

—At such a crisis, and at such a moment, it is not
wise nor loyal to paralize the efforts of Govern-
ment, and divert its attention from the common foe.
We advise, then, the Editor of The Geier, to put
off Lis fears, and Sir FRANCIS BURDFAT to pet off
his reform, until a more convenient season. We
little expected to see these old friends, long
alienated from each other, so ready to rush once
