JUBILEE.

Mr. Sheriff Woon addressed the Court. He 5311
he -had a motion to submit to them, which he boil
would. meet their unanimous approbation. Every
Member present must ncRT be convinced that the
Ilesolutiotts, passed at a former Court were pasell
contrary toga-standing order, .aud consequently of u
effea ; and
.he believed it to be the wish of tip.;
Court to correct the error as soon as possible. Wien
the former passed, a .great deal of odium had been
also thrown upon them by their constitutAusand the
public, which it became their duty to do away. On
that occasion a, Gentleman asserted, that althou4h
the dinner was voted, yet if all the gusts were to
pay, few would attend : ;that opinion he considered
to be a gross libel upon the Corporation, tor he
confident that
,whether.the Members were. ineliu,A
to dine together or not, they would not be biassed by
the experace. He himself did not approve of a pub-
he dinner for themselves, because he thought the
money then to be expended might be employed to
various more laudable, purposes. There werea .t
many men confined in the different prisons of the -
city for very small debts, whose. liberty would be
grateful to themselves and the public, amongst wiwei
were two individuals who had formerly been Mem-
bers of that. Court. .To afford them assistance in
their distresses, would .be much mare honourable
than to spend the money, as had been formerly pro-
posed. The establishment of new alms-houses, or
public school, had occupied his attention as snore
worthy objects of the, liberality of the Court than. a
dinner, but he shtiuld leave that to their k!onsidera,
Lion after he should snake his, motion, which was as
follows t— „

" That so•much oldie former Resolution as relates to the
illuminatiQp of Guildhall, and a dinner, at the expense of
the' Corporation, on the'isth instant, is nugatory, it haVing
been carried contrary to the 32d standing Order of the Court,
and that it will be more conson.int to the feelings ht
jesty, and more hanottrable to the • Corporation, to el:.Ct
number of Afinshouse, jot the reception of ne:dyed fracineri
and their tv tams, by ‘vb,cii ine-tins core year of his NI 1-
jes‘ty's reign, 'and every succeeding yoar, wilt be congratu-
fated. with joy and delight by hundreds 9f the present 04 sec..
cecoing generations." •
• 'r • •

• Mr. BELL gave credit to the motives which attu-
ated the worthy Sheriff; but he was of opinion that
the same objeaions which were, made to the former
Resorutions, in so far as they I.were pas,dd coin rary
to a standing Order of • the Cou'rt, would be equally
applicable to,.t he present motion. •
Mr. Smatiat. butoN was surprised that the inge-
nuity of the worthy Sheriff, ur the aqvice or thuit
whom he had consulted, had not prevented his falling -
into t.ito the same error of which he
Mr. WOOD denied that he had consulted any. per-
son.

. •
Mr:Mimi proceeded. He was of opinion, th It..
the. Aorthy.Geollernan, in making his motion; was .
somewhat influenced by a desire or popularity. Po-
polarity, he admitted, was.a source of great pleasure
to every honourable mind, and he gave him credtt.
for it ; but if the Gentleman wished the Corporal ton
to show their liberality in the manlier propose.i by
his motion, he wished him to set the exeinple from
his own pocket, and 4e (Mr. D.) would pledge him-
self and his friends to follow him. He was sure nu .
Member of the Corporation would be backward.
But that ought not to 'prevent the Corporation din- •
ing together. They had already agreed to celebrate
the 25111, and he thought it a proper way to do it .
with festivity,• without abusing the good things. He
wished the Members to continue together all day,
and enjoy themselves sociably, without letting any
'party spirit enter their minds. They had all,agreed
upon the virtues of the.,Sovereign, and the many ati
vantages enjoyed under, liis beneficent reign ; that,
alone was the subject of the congratulation, and not
any political party, whether in ur out of power.—
When their hearts should be cheered, he was sure
the collector of the subscription would not, go away
with an empty putse. Having now gone over the
subject, be could not retrain from expressing his
surprise to see so thin an attendance of Members
upon so joyful an occasion, and the absence of the
four itrpresentatives for the city he thought still
mute sut prising. One of them he supposed to coo-
sider. the calculation of losses sustained by a theatre
of more importance than attending in his place.

thought better, as it had gone, abroad that no dinner
