Mr. Alderman CI;RTIS believed, that another in-
stance
of a Member having been elebted a fourth
time to represent the City of London was hardly to
be found. He could not attribute this to any great. =
abilities which he Possessed, but must acknowledge
it with gratitude as a mark of the continuance of
.the approbation of the Livery. He had been
charged with a dereliction of, principle, and had
ben -his,:ed and' hooted down the yardi but he did'
fult-know what for. He had always, supported the
btst of Kings ; he had, stood firin to what he con-
ctlyel to be Constitutional principles, and was hap- •
py in po.sessitig ntrcs :car:a:via RZCTI. The
same rnell who had- taken an opportnnity to insult
him in the street, might, perhaps, now beofound in
Costilt-Gardette opposin7 • all good Government.
• Mr. Alderman CONIB.E declared, that it was not
merely a iir Parliament Which he desirT4 ;he
*as anibittous to be again chosen the Representa-
- the 'of his Telio*-citizens:; As_ to politick Senti-
ment, the man :ibocealle others 'whom .he ada
nxired and venerated was. now no_ more ; butif, •
haPpiy for. England, ithat great mart.were now
alivee •he: would be able to itiforin theta, that even

The present' Administratiod fie thought was the
lest cJiculated to promote the interests of the nag
turn, and they continued to irerit that Opinion,
theyshould hive:his support; if these men should be
found to adopt a different course of political cant
duct, hiS fellow'citizens should find that he was as
( independent of Attininistration as he was 'of any of
the Electors previous to his setting up: as a Candi-
date. He then repeated his fOrmer declaration, that
if upon 'any great public question his Constituents
should think fit to declare their sentiments, anti in-
strutt him to.procet'd. in a manner': consonant to
their wishes, he should'think it his duty to obey
theM—(gerteral applause:i.) He should always feel
it to be the duty of him, tisja Rept esentative, to obey.
the, voice of.his Constituents; or else to resign the
power with which he.was entrusted, again into the
hands of those who 'gave it—(loud rzud reiterated
opAlau4e.s.) •
Alerman PRICE thanked, the .Livery in
a neat energetic ipeech. He assured them that he
had opposed what he conceived io be' the most ob-
noxious clause in the Property 'Tax.- He had al-
ways asserted the rights of the Citizens of LondOn,
he should Lenteforward,do the,same, and it should
be the first ambition of his life to obtain their ap-
probation and Support. • •
Mr. Arkit;ts apologized for addressing the Livery,
circumstanced as he Ikas., The gown (the habit of
an Alderman),he had always thought to be a reward
for long service in the Corporation. The want of
that, he conceived, to be a bar against the eleiiion
of a Citizen to represent the Metropolis in Parlia-
ment ; out his Fellow-citizens thought otherwiSe,
' and in otiedi.enc'e to their wishes he stood forward 'as
a Candidate, He, 'however, had failed—and could
only now assure the Liveiy, that When he was'a
j\lember of Parliament for another place, he uni-
formliadhered the principles of that great States-
• man whose Beath might truly be said to be not only
an irreparable loss to the British Senate, but to all
lEuioi.e, and to the general interests of the hunian
race— After some remarks as to the bed of rases,
said to. have been left for the present Adininistratioh,
, and the actual -state of this Nation and its Allies, as
to uar, finance, and, taxes: he concluded
:with ob-
serving, that if the advice bf Mr. Fox had been
followed a vast' deal" of, the calathity with which
Europe h now atfli&cd might have been averted.
The opinions of that great man he had al :nays looked
up to with respell and 'admiration ; and up‘n such
principles as his he sh\uld ad if at any future oppor-
tunity he should have tie honour:to be chosen, a Re-
presentative of eheCity of London.

Mr. Aldeman HAN,keY repeated his former con-
fession of error in 'pledging himself rather hastily to
the Lord Mayor, and being-afterwards induced by
the nomination ,of a very. numerous body of the Li-
very to set his name upon,the poll-books: He had
,been severely punished for this false 'step ; .but if,
under all the circumstances, he thought proper af-
terwards to withdraw, he hoped he would' still be
thought favourably.of by his mellow-citizens, as in so'
doing he had only kept his word,
'The Court then adjourned.

COURT OF KING'3 BENCH, Nov,6.'

This day Michaelmas Term commenced with the
usual formalities. The: returns of the convicts at.
Woolwich, Portsmouth, and, Langstone-harbour,
were, according to custom, read ; after which, the
justification of bail commenced, which occupied
the greater part, of the time of the Court. ,The
only motions of the smallest interest were the fol-
Mr. PEAKE.applied for a Habeas Corpus, to bring
up the body of George White, from Gifildford
gaol, under the following 'circumstances :-;.--White
was a freeman of that town, and during the time of
the late contested Ele6tion between General Nor-
ton
and George Home,•Sumner, Esq. attended on
two different days to, give his vote on behalf of the
former of those -Gentlemen, but not being able to
reach the hustings, was: disappointed. On the
,evening of :the 3oth of Oelober . be was sitting at
home, drinking tea, surrounded by his wife '
and children, when a Mr. William Russel and
two- others entered' the apartment, and seized
. upon, him, stating him to be a deserter from the
2d Surrey Militia,; from which he had recently been
discharged. They then conveyed him to the house
of a Magistrate, the Rev. Dr. Weller, who favoured
the cause of Mr.' Sumner ; but he not then being
within, they carried him to. another Gentleman,
likewise a Justice of the Peace, whose name the
learned Counsel, from- Motives of delicacy, would
not mention in this stage of the proceedings, I.tho
had likewise been very active in promoting Mr. Sum-
ner's elelion ; he accompanied thern to a public-
house in Guildford, kept by a person' of. the name
of Wallack. As soon as White arrived there, the
landlord took him aside, . and told him that if he
would vote for Mr. Sumner he should be discharg-
ed. White replied; that he had already made up
his.mind to give his vote to General Norton, and
nothing should compel; him to ad agoainit the dic-
tates of his conscience. To this- Wallack replied,,
that if he persisted they would send him to. prison,
but if he should thihk better of it the nest morning
(it
,being then near ten o'clock at night), and would
send n note to his (Wallack's) house, agreeing to
. poll for Mr. Simmer, he should even then
.be set at
liberty.. • This, however,, he peremptorily refused
to do, and was condu6ted from thence 16 an attor-
ney of the name of Sinallfield, the einw,vn Agent of
the bciudidate.oppasing General Norton, who drew
up a commitment for White to the, county gaol,
which was done in such haste, that there was no
direction affixed to it, but, notwithstanding, with so
much art, that the crime; for which he was commit-
ed had been carefully left out. The Learned Coun-

The 'attemptea assassination of the French 'Empe-
ror is thus stated in a private letter fr6m Leipsic :
" ICAppears that when the French Emperor, passed
through Weimar he was fired at from a window by
a perstm unknown. The ball unfortunatelvmissed
him ; on which .he instantly ordered 'the.place to be
given up to bre and sword ; and,- we are sorry to
adth not a 11.'.1se is .standing either_ at Erfurth or
Weimar." We do not auswer for the
_cause, but
the etfe& is certain.

It is mentioned pn the, Continent 35 a well au-
thenticated, fad, that Prince Louis FERDINAND,
previous to the -battle in which •hy. lost his life,
wrote to the Queen of Prussia, apprising her of all

more convinced there was treachery in the Cabinet

• Mr. Giratow Moved to set aside the verdict, and

Captain of the sliip in question. had a full discretion
.to trade 'to any part of the Coast he thought fit,
with instructions to use the utmost expedition pos-

scarcity of slaves there, -he went to a sin All Dutch

was' afterwards condemned as enemy's property. It
further appeared, that the Captain had a commission
upon the sale of the slaves. Arid, upon these grounds,
he considered it barratry. '

RANDELL COOKE V. THE HUNDRED OF PENNING, IN

THE COUNTY 'OF SALOP.

This was an action brought, under the authority
of an old Ad of,Queen Elizabeth,
.against the Hun-
dred; to recover the value of a stack of corn, which
had been burnt by design—it was tried at the, last
Assizes for the, County of Salop, and a Verdice
ob-
tained for the Plaintiff..
. Mr. Serjeant.lytwAms moved to set aside the
verdict in this Case, And for leave to enter -a non-
suit..
Ly the ALt df Queen Elizabeth, when a stack of.
corn is burnt by design, the owner is to give notice
to the ‘` next adjoining town, village, or hamlet,"
within two days, in order to enable him to recover
the value'. In this case it appeared that the Plain-
tiff diditell a man who _was on the prernises,l,vhile
the stack of corn was aC•ltuallv .on fire, and aftei-
yLards gave notice to "the Parish. The Learned Ser-
jeant, thei-efioe, contended, that this 11011 Ce./ was
not sufficient to satisfy the provisions of the Aa,
inasmuch as the notice was not given to-4! the next
adjoining town, village, or hamlet," , but only to
the Parish. ' •

'l'he Court granted a Rule to shew cause.

T. Pendrill, son of Mr. William Pendrill, of No.

the boy's mother came with a knife, and,cut the de-

about a quarter of an hour before he ;made . the
shocking- discovery. Medical assistance was pro-
cured, but withobt effeta. The deceased was a fine
youth between fifteen and, sixteen years old, and
about six months ago had a violent fever, which is
supposed_to have affeeled his brain. The Coroner's
