COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
On Friday a Court of Common Council was held for
the special purpose of voting the freedom of the City to
J. Hume, Esq. for his great exertions in Parliament to
reduce the public expenditure.
As soon as the Lord Mayor had taken the chair, Ald.
Waithman addressed the court. He said he was aware
that the court being held for a special purpose, no mem-
ber was at libeny to bring forward any matter not spe-
cified; hut he had a question of privilege to submit,
which the court, he thought, would deem deserving its
consideration. It related to the correspondence that had
taken place between Lord Bathurst and himself relative
to the outrage that had been committed at Knights-
lwidgc.barrack, ou occasion of the funeral of Honey and
Francis. Two letters of the correspondence had not
been published, because he deemed them of no import-
ance, but he now wished to lay the whole before the
court, and also a letter from a gentleman who accompa-
nied him on the occasion, and witnessed the whole
transaction, which confirmed, in every particular, the
facts stated in his (Alderman Waithmani s) letters. Ile
deemed it extraordinary that lie had not been called on
to produce any evidence of the facts he had stated, al-
though it was notorious that enquiries had been carried
4/11 before a Police Magistrate for the purpose of crimi-
stating hint. This being the case, it because necessary
that the facts should be made known. The court then
invested him with their authority, and it was of im-
portance that he should be on his post, and that he
should perform his duty; had he omitted to do so, he
would hare been liable to stiller for the neglect. Had
he been called on when the sulject was under enquiry,
he could have identified souse of the most active violaters
of the peace. Lord Bathurst says he has a representa-
tion of the transaction different from his (Ald.
NV hy then not institute an enquiry in which both sides
might be heard t The worthy Alderman concluded
with saving, that he should content himself with having
stated the matter to the court. and would leave it en-
tirely to them to determine, whether it would be con-
sistent with their dignity not to make it the subject of
enquiry;
Mr. FAY EL L said the worthy Alderman had stated a
sufficient ground for an enquiry—the Sheriff represented
the Corporation, and their character was involved in the
attack that was made on his. He thought the best mode
of proceeding in vindication of both would be to reter
the papers to the committee of general purroses ; which
he moved accordingly.
Mr. Distora said, it did not appear to him why the
funeral of the two unfortunate men should he taken to
Hammersmith ; nor why it should have been cm a Sun-
day; still he had no objection to the papers going to a
committee; and as Lord Bathurst would not attend,
only one side would be heard, and the matter would be
soon set at rest.
The papers were then read. The letter written by
the gentleman who accompanied Alderman Waithman,
on the day of the funeral, stated, that the Alderman sent
a message to the officer commanding at Knightsbridge-
barrack, desiring him to keels his men in the barrack,
and when it was delivered to him in the name of the
Sheriff, his reply was—" the Sheriff may may go and
be d—d."
The motion for referring the papers to the committee
of general purposes was carried unanimously.
VOTE OF FREEDOM TO MR. HUME.

The requisition which had been presented to the Lord
Mayor to call a Court to take into consideration the
propriety of voting the freedom of the City to Joseph
Hume, Esq. for his great exertions in Parliament, to
introduce economy into the expenditure of the revenue,
was then read.
As soon as the resolution was read, Mr. FAVELL rose,
and desired that the proceedings of the Court on occa-
sion of voting the freedom of the City to the Martinis of
Camden, for his resignation of the profits of theTellership
(Atilt: Exchequer, should be read; which was accordingly
dune.
Mr. FAvELL proceeded. He did not mean to say
there was a pertect analogy between the two eases,
because Lord Camden made a great sacrifice; but it
chewed how recently the Court had expressed its sense
of the high merit of decreasing the public expenditure.
It was the ditty of the Court to the country to honour
those who sought to diminish the expenditure under
which all classes of the community were groaning.—
Mr. II mite, whose met its were now the sulject ui cansi-
deritni, was a man of no ordinary character: he has
done, in a short parliamentary life, what, in others, it
would take a long life to effect. Mr. Hume has been
highly honoured, even by the Government he opposes.
Ile was at first liposed and abused ; at length they
adopted his measures, and addressed his Majesty to carry
them into etlect. (Heat, hear.)—Mr. P. here entered
into a history of the several ethirts made by NI r. Hume
in Parliament to reduce the expenditure, and said it was
owing to his great perseverance that Ministers had at
length given a pledge of adopting his recommendations,
by which, if fully acted on, I(i9 sinecure offices will be
abolished, and the expenditnre of the country reduced in
tit. less a suet than 4,2103,0001. Mr. F. concluded by
'liming a vote of thanks to I.r Hume fur Ins indepen-
dent conduct in Parliament.
Mr. hlicisE seconded the motion.
Nll.l)tatoN said, Mr. Home had certainly shcwn
great perbt.:vcialicc an his conduct in Parliament, and
much good might arise from it; lint his zeal was greater
than his discretion, and had lie been less active he
might have been more usethl. lie was sorry the matter
was pressed on the attention of the ('ours, but he intro
dissent from the motion, because M r. Hume was out 10111;:,
enough in the service ot the public to entitle loin to tile
honour it was proposed to cooler on hint.
A.derman VVA 111 MAX said he had heat(' no argument
*gaunt the motion—all adiuit that Mr. flume has acted
well—lie had taken a more laborious course in the cause
ilf economy than
any titan had ever taken before, nod
many were the attempts made by the adherents of Mi-
nisters to cough and Stivt.r hint t!ols u ; but be persevered
