GARRATT, MAYOR.

A`COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the CHAMBER of
the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON, on
THURSDAY, the 10th day of March, 1825.
, Resolved unanimously,
THAT this Court have observed, with regret
and disappointment, the measures proposed by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer for the reduction of Taxes.
They are strongly confirmed in the sentiments they have re-
cently expressed by their Petition to the Honourable the House
" Commons, and whatever may be the policy of reducing the
"utY upon Wine and Luxury, they decidedly deplore the con-
tinuance of the House and Window Taxes, which have so long
4t,'',l so heavily pressed upon the most industrious Classes of
ooelity.
That the relief which arises to the Community from the re-
Thission•of direct, Taxes, is immediate and substantial, while
other modes of finance are problematical, and are often more
beneficial to individuals than to the Public.

TI;;:1;1;;ridently of other objections which exist to the
present system, numerous Surcharges occasion the most vexa-
tious contests in every part of the Kingdom.
That although this• Court are anxious to uphold that liberal
Policy which may promote the Interests of Commerce, they feel
'bound to declare that they. believe the People of Great Britain,
in common with the Citizens of .London, are unanimously-op-
posed to the continuance-of the House and Window Duties.

AIERCANTILE SHIPPING.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 9.--117 ind S.S.W.--Arrived the
Caroline, Bibby, from Alexandria; she saved 14 soldiers from
the wreck of the Kent East Indianian, having fallen in with
her about two hours after she blew up, the rest had perished.
(Note.)—" The above vessel is on Lloyd's Books the 2nd of
March, as having arrived off Liverpool the 28th of February,
and the accident of the Kent took place the lit of March ; there
must therefore be some mistake in the name of the vessel, or in
announcing her previous arrival." Also arrived the Ann,
Ridley, from Maranham, sailed the 20th of January ; the Eliza.
Ann was to sail in 4 days, the Jubilee on the lith, and the George,
Wellington, Minerva, and the Jessie, in 12 days, all for this
Port.

....KENT EAST INDIAMAN.—The Carunnr, Capt. BIEEEY,
from Alexandria, Egypt, has just passed up to the quarantine
ground. She has on board fourteen soldiers saved from the
wreck of the Kent. Capt. Bibbey states, we have been inform-
ed, that he saw the explosion of the ship, and made all sail in
the direction of the place where the awful catastrophe occurred.'
In about two hours afterwards he fell in with floating pieces of
the wreck, from which he rescued the 14 soldiers mentioned
above. They had, we understand, been blown up with the
ship, and, falling into the sea, clung to the fragments of float-
ing wreck. The poor fellows were nearly exhausted when.,
snatched from a watery grave by the providential approach of
the Caroline. We need not add, that they were treated with
every attention by Captain Bibbey and his crew. The remain-
der of the unfortunate people who were on board the Kent when
she blew up, amounting to upwards of seventy souls, all pe-
rished.—( Liverpool Courier, March 9.)

DatiRY4AANE.—The Comedy of A .New Wav
to Pay Old Debts, in which Mr. KEAN perform-
ed the part of Sir Giles Overreach, and had the
usual applause of those who admire his acting,
was last night followed by a new Farce, entitled
Change Partners, The plot was founded upon
the love of two servants for each other, but be-
ing unable to write, the man servant persuades
his good-natured master to write love letters for
him. The maid servant is equally lucky in havl
ing an indulgent mistress, who assumes the pen
in her favour. The real writers of the letters are
so captivated by the style of each other that they.
conceive they are enamoured with persons of in-
ferior rank. But a denouement, of course, takes
place, and wedlock follows. The piece.
by no means intrinsically strong, but it is
whimsical and amusing, and received great
advantage from the acting of WALLACit,
HARLEY, KNIGHT, and Mrs. YATES. It expe-
rienced some opposition, but not such as to
be of a formidable nature, and when it is under-
stood that it was written by Mrs. ORDER, the
Actress, she is too great a favourite to apprehend.
any persevering hostility.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The public, wena
last night treated with many new .speciineps of
the inexhaustible powers of Mr. MATHEWS, in
the discovery and delineatio❑ of character. The
entertainment entitled " Mr. Mathews At home,"
commenced for the season, and it is but justice to
him to say, that lie was indeed perfectly at home
in every character that he represented. Ile had
many admirable strokes at the several Companies
who speculate upon the credulity of the Public.
Chemists, Artists, Old Men, Landlords, Waiters,
cum multi: aliis, &c., pass in review, and all
powerfully operate upon the risible muscles of
his audience. The house was crowded at a very
early period, and Mr. MATHEWS opened his
Memorandum Book, as his present entertainment
is styled, so much to the gratification of the au-
dience that every leaf of it was pregnant with
point, wit, and humour.

Aaarr.t. Rooms.—Madame C.tTAI.ANI gave
the second of her series of Concerts last night.
The Room was well attended, and the Syren ex-
erted herself with the same powerful effect as
heretofore. Her execution of Itnonc's Varia-
tions, composed for the Violin, afforded a won-
derful proof of vocal flexibility. S.►rio displayed
all his usual taste in the songs assigned to him.
The whole was well received, and the fair
warbler is likely to receive an ample reward for
her surprising exertions.

SAILING MATCH.

WEYstoIITFI, SEPT. 18.—The match between-Air. Quick's
Antelope, 0f.14 tons, and Capt. Edmund Lyons's Queen Mab,
-of 12 tons, or. the result of which very large sums depended,
took place in our Roads on Tuesday morning in a strong easter-
ly wind; soon after starting the Queen 111 ab shot ahead, tack-
ed, and weathered the Antelope—an advantage which she
maintained so long as the race continued.; but unfortunately,
at a moment when both boats were carrying a heavy press of
sail through a heavy squall, the Antelope lost her bowsprit,
and was obliged to give up the contest.. Capt. Lyons pursued
his course and won the bets depending on his boat. The An-
telope was most. ably managed by Capt. -Robert White, who
persevered until the loss of the .bowsprit precluded all hope of
the Antelope regaining the distance she had previously lost.

OLD BAILEY.—(This DAT.)

A SERIOUS LARK.

John Benjamin, aged 30, a genteel-looking
young man, was put to the bar, charged with
stealing a gold watch and appendages, v,alue 101.
•,
and upwards.

It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that he is
son of Mrs. Raymond, who keeps a billiard-table room in the
parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. On the 20th Nugust last
the prisoner came into the roomott which time his watch was
lying on the table ; it was, however, shortly after missed,
and, on inquiry, no person knew any thing about it, and
the prisoner himself was, then absent. The prosecutor
repaired down stairs, and seeing the prisoner, he challenged'
him with the robbery, which he denied over and over again ;
but on an officer being sent for, he, after some hesitation, ad-
witted he had taken up the property, not kJ:towing who it he-
longed to, in a lark, and intended to return it again wheit
asked for.

The prisoner, in his defence, said he gave up the -watch as
soon as it was owned, and that he only took it in joke. He
had been a frequenter at the billiard-room for three years, and
was well known to the prosecutor. • This, however, was denied
by the prosecutor himself,. who stated that he had no iecollec-
don whatever of the prisoner. ,
The Learned Serjeant summed up the evidence, and the
Jury, after a few minutes consultation, pronounced a verdict
of Guilty.
Mr. Serjeant AnAum—Your fate has been long anticipatc‘i ;
you are well known here.—Take him away.

TO THE EDITOR.

SILL--As I am well satisfied the columns of your
paper are equally. open to the unfortunate and oppressed as to
the rich and powerful, I venture to request that you will do me
the favour to insert a few observations, which I am induced to
offer, in consequence of an article which appeared in The News
of yesterday, in allusion to my having stated in my defence,
that my misfortunes were attributable, to certain gambling trans-
actions on the Stock Exchange, principally in time bargains,
into which I was induced to enter by the artifices of two design-
ing brokers. The paper in question observes—" If it turn to
be, what we suspect, the desperate invention of the prisoner,
we shall not fail to give the utmost publicity in our power to
the refutation." _ _

As I have not sought to shelter myself from the consequences
of my own actions, by falsely or unjustly attributing them to
others, and as my character for veracity has hitherto stood un-
impeached, I wish, although lam about to leave my native
shores (perhaps; for ever), that justice may be rendered to me;
and that I may not depart under the burden of more obloquy
than justly attaches to my conduct. I beg leave to state, that
if the Editor of The News, or any other Gentleman, will conde-
scend to call upon me, 1 have here for inspection, documents,
aflbrding undeniable proof of the truth of the declaration made
in my defence.
The broker examined at the trial was not, as stated in The
News, the bondsman to Messrs. Hoare ; but his partner in these
transactions was my security.—l am, Sir, your most obedient
and very humble servant,
Newgate, Sept. 19. W. M. CHRISTMAS.

A horse, apparently' practising its gambols, on
Monday last, in Dallam Tower-park. the seat of George Wil-
son, .Esq. suddenly rushed upon a sheep grazing near, caught
the defenceless animal up with its teeth, and gallopped
about with it for several minutes. On quitting his savage
grasp, the poor creature was found to be so much injured, that
it was immediately killed, and being fat, the carease was given
to the foor,—(Kenaal I.;axeitc.)

POETRY.

THE GUARDIAN ANGELS: •
Ye Spirits! that upon the purple clouds -
Sit watching in your beauty our dim world,
When Winter allits face in sorrow shrouds ;
And wheh the Summer tempest-bolt is hurled
And when sweet Spring with tresses all uncurled
Sits gazing on the sunbeam thro'.the shower—
And when rich Autumn, all her plumes unfuri. l,
Sits like an Empress in her fruitage bower—
What are you! and whence comes your high, mysterious
Power ?

Are ye such shapes as pass before our dreams,
Lovely, yet human-formed, bright memories ?
Or do we see you in the morning beams,
Winged splendours, floating thro' the rosy skies?
•
Or at the stars art lit your flashing eyes ?
Or are ye like the distant Seraphim, " •
Imperial shapes, with godlike wisdom wise,
Fire-crowned, and tempest-winged, of dazzling limb?
The Tomb shall tell us all—all here is sad and dim !

NATIONAL STONE-WAY COMPANY.

FAREF.R V. FRY.
This was an action against Messrs. Fry and Chapman, the
bankers, as garnishees to the directors of the National Stone-
way Company, for a sum of money due to the plaintiff: The
decision upon the case, as was observed by a counsel, will fur-
nish an additional ground for warning the public, if they still
want any warning, against venturing into partnerships with
companies of the kind.
Mr. BOLLAND stated, that the defendants were a number of
gentlemen who had proposed a company, called the National
Stone-way Company. Like other companies, he believed it no
longer continued to exist. Although it was formed for the im-
provement of various places, it had no foundation on which de-
pendence could be placed. It had in short no locus standi.—
( Here a gentleman assured Mr. Rolland that it was at work.)—
He regretted that he had done injustice to the Company, but
the fact of its operations not being checked, was a proof that its
debts ought to be paid. The directors had, he could prove, now
retraining in the hands of the garnishees, with whom they, as
well as the directors of several other companies, banked, the
sum of 5561. He could prove this circumstance, which he
thought the only thing necessary.
Richard Collins, clerk to Messrs. Fry and Chapman,-stated
that the sum of 556 i. was in•the hands of the firm.

Mr. I.Aw (for the garnishees.)—ln whose name is it extered
in the books ? Is it in the name of the directors ?—%Vitnee.s.
I cannot say it is.
Mr. BOL LAND—It is in themame of the direCtors of the Na-
tional Stone-way Company. •
The RECORDER—But who are the Directors of the Na-
tional Stone-way Company ? I cannot'allow the property of a
great number ofpersons to be considered the property of a body
of Directors.
Mr. LAW—PI-mince the books, to show us that the money
11'
has been paid in as the property of the Directors. •
Mr. BoLLAND—We have given notice to produce the 1? "s 4

ESSEX ASSIZES-CHELMSFORD, Dm 6

William Ellis and Robert Cutts were charged on three
several indictments for stealing three horses, the property of
persons residing at Maldon. On the arraignment the pri-
soners pleaded guilty to all the indictments, and persisted in
their pleas, notwithstanding the advice of the Learned Judge
to take the chance of trial. 'The prisoner Cutts is a young
roan of respectable connections.
Abraham Baxter was indicted for stealing, on the 26th
May, 1824; at ChelmsfordLa bay mare, the
.property of Robert
Allen.—Mr. JEssop conducted the prosecution,antl Mr. BROD-
ni cit. and Mr. Dow LINO the defence.— It appeared in evidence
that the prosecutor, who resides at Kingston, in Surrey, lost his
mare on the 24th May, 1824, from an inclosure, and on the 26th
of the same month the prisoner, who is a licensed horse-dealer,
of Woodbridge, Suffolk, purchased it at Chelmsford fair, far
71., and in the course of the same day re-sold it for VI. to au
, inhabitant of Writtle. In Sep►_ember last the prosecutor found
the mare in the possession of the purchaser, and in conse-
quence of inquiries the prisoner was apprehended, but admitted
to bail. Upon the facts proved, the Learned Jadge thought
there was no case to go to the Jury, and the prisoner was
accordingly found Not Guilty.

TOWN-HALL, SOUTHW A R K.

Bonouort MARKET.—Louisa Jones having obtained a
war-rant for an assault against Sarah Peel, appeared before
the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Suxrx, to substantiate
the complaint. She represented the assault to, be of a vioi.e:-.t
• and outrageous description. The two ladies are retail coster-
, mongers, carrying on business in the Borough-market, re-
markable for their loquacity and polite behaviour to their cue-
tourers, though not to each other. It
_appeared that Sarah
indignant at having her customers intercepted, and herself
laughed at, hurled a ponderous bunch containing divers, to-
wit, twelve turnips or thereabouts, at the pericranium of
the said Louisa, to the manifest injury of her upper-works,
and contrary to the regulations of the Borough-market in that
case made and provided. The case was argued on both sides
with considerable ability, and Sarah in her defence submitted
to the Magistrate, that in point of law the car plaina:t should
be nonsuited, and be in mercy, &c. she said Lourhaving
committed the first assault. y It appeared iu point of fact,
that Louisa had with cool and deliberi....3 aim and astonishing.
precision levelled a host of certain vegetables, termed cabbage,
at the proboscis of the said Sarah, and thereby greatly damaged
the same. Louisa, with great volubility, commented on the
defence. The Magistrate, however, declined to interfere, and
the fair Amazons retired to " Tak a stoup to I:iendship's
growth for the days o' lang syne," in a glass of Hodges' best
cordial compound.

ELEtrToNrEnING.—At a respectable and nu-

held at the Horse and Jockey, in that town, on
Tuesday even last, 'Mr. DA Er, 'WA to:YIELD
in the Chair, it Nt as resolved " That as the. present
Represrntatives did not exert thvseives for the
benefit of the town, it became them to elect one
that would." Mr. D. W., in a short speech, in-
troduced brother, Mr. Edward Wakefield, to
theiC-1101ke, %rho addressed them as follows:

" GENT LEMEN,—Although not personally acquainted with
every individual in the room, I am happy to see so respectable,
a body congregate for the purpose of securing my election to
represent in Parliament this ancient and honourable Borough.
Gentlemen, I have not resided long amongst you, but my
Brother has been your neighbour for upward', of thirty. years ;
you know his principles—you shall know mine. In a time
like the present, it is an imperative duty on public men to de-
clare openly the principles which govern them, and to act on
those principles. The commercial difficulty under which so
great a portion of the nation labours is only temporary, I ant
in hope that that panic will subside in a few days which threat-
ened to overwhelm in its course every Banking Establishment
in the kingdom. In such a trying crisis lam happy to state,
and I do it with confidence, that the Bank of England and the
Ministers of the Crown have done their duty manfully, and
fully confirmed that confidence which malevolence has vainly
endeavoured to destroy. Should my ambition be crowned with
success, I pledge myself to stand by you to the last—l will
stand by the ship as long as she can float, and when she sinks
I will sink with her. Gentlemen, I take a pride in saying that
with the last drop of blood in my veins I will uphold the House
of Brunswick and the Protestant Religion.—( Loud and con-
tinued applause.)—You know my conduct in private life ; by
it you may judge whether or not 1 am a fit person to represent
you in Parliament. It has been said if I am unsuccessful in
this struggle it is my intention to retire from amongst you ; I
solemnly deny it ; I hope to live the remainder of my days
amongst you and in your service."

Mr. Edward 'Wakefield having sat down, his
health was drank with three tims three•, and the
meeting adjourned until `Tuesday the 101 h of
January next, at the hour of nine in the ereaing.

The principal London bankers are doing all in their power to
lessen the circulation of one and two pound notes in the coun-
try ; and instances have occurred in which a positive refusal
has been given to continue to conduct the agency for country,
banks, unless the small notes within a given time shall be with-
drawn from circulation. The object is, if possible, to exclude
all country Bank-notes under the value of 5/. each.

SINGULAR CIRCUIII,STANCE.—An aged and re-
spectable member of the law profession in Glas-
gow, who died lately, had engaged tradesmen,
about 12 months ago, to place an elegant iron
railing around his burying-ground, in the High,
Churchyard, but they were prevented by other
engagements from finishing it at once, and thus
put their employer to the trouble of many
for the purpose of hastening the work, and at
last he was obliged to threaten that lie Would
engage the services of others. This hail the de-
sired effect. The job was completed on Satur-
day week„ and the owner died on 'Monday morn-
ing.—(Scotch Times.)
