cd with baying stolen a certain Order for paym'zdt;
the property of Mr. Wild., an attorney.
It appeared that' the prisoner Was a clerk in the
einployment of iNfn Wild, and that means were
afforded him; from the-confidence with which he
Was treated, of stealing an order for payment of
a eOntiderable sumi. signed by Mr. Wild on a Mr.
Jaeobs,•jvho was an assignee in a Commissinn of
Bankrupt, in which Mr. Wild was Con( erned. This
order,, whenstOren, was not dated, but that dr-
. ficiency. was-supplied- by the Prisoner„ or some
other personi-a-a&the money was.recei -d,
fact.of the theft, was only traceable to the Prisoner
from the circumstance of the notes, which were
paid for the-order, .been proved; by a cirL,
cuitous.4&utiny, been,..4:sufl by him.
An attornev,--*tho?attended for the prisoner;
contended, thatjaasinue,h.as Mr. Wild could not
have been sued ,on.therorder fOr payment which
had been 4toleu, if it Mad not been paid,no Czar p:
of stealing gocids:or chifttels;. could -be: supported
against. the prisoner,
Mr.,Wild, on
.the contrary, argued; that, as the
order had produced value; the Moral guilt was e.
tablished.

The, worthy Alderman presiding (Alderman 12.
Smith), not being- satisfied of the law on the

opinion that the stealing of the order in question
was-it felony. Cpon further consideration,. how-
ever, he begged that the case might
.stanil over,.
until he had an 'opportunity of fuliy .consideling
the point in dispute.—The prisoner was conse-
quently remanded.
Thomas Carty, a boy about fourteen years of
age; was charged with stealing, on various ocCa7
signs, newspapers from Mr. 'Wiltshire, to whom

The following is stated to be a correct copy :of

pool, on the close of the fourth day's, poll, as
written by that Gentleman himself. "It does ho-
nour to his talents, constitutional principles, and
enlarged views of the national interests.
" GENTLEMEN,

"-I presume to suppose ,that the-first thing you
expect of me is, that I should.put you in possessi-
on of the present state of the 'poll.- In the course
of the,day, as I foresaw and foretold. you on. Sa-
tqrday, the struggle has been continued with near-
ly equal vigour and perseverance on all sides. The
numbers, at the close of the poll this day, are as
follow :

Mr. ,Creerey
General Gascoyne
. .

673

Mr4,Brongliani (having improved iu a srtafl '
• degree hw is majority over Gen. Gas; .
stand with that trifling superiority which I had.
0.1 Saturday, and-which I hope -to sustain unim-
paired until the period- shall arrive for pushing it
forward-to -a commanding, and conclusive majori-
ty, about 30 over the highest ,of usy competitors.
;My numbers are 722.

- " Gentlemen, it is not improbable that yit an-
other, and perhaps another day, We • 'may march
Ode by side, and step by step, without any mate-7
Tial and decisiA7e advantagi but the time cannot

he distant when'the forces Of my opponents must
be exhausted, and when 't,he. sense-of this great
town will be manifested in a manner. apt to be
Mistaken.

Gentlemen, I must be insensible indeed, if I.
did not feel most deeply the marks _of kindness
which you have been pleased to shew me. I ShOuld
be unworthy of the situation: to- Which you have
the intention of raising. Me, if I could go orr calm-
lv considering the representation of Liverpool not,
as a trust to be executed with fidelity (thotigh
most sacred trust it will be), and were not at, the
same tine to think of it, and feel it, as atestimony
cf good-will to be indeliby en raven oti niy heart
Gentleinen, sucli marks Of: kintliTess had been
experienced by one who had. been born and bred
amongst you, who had entitled himself to the re-
Word of his felldW-citizensby the daily intercourse
of mutual gOod offices, or who, fortunately for
himself, had had the opportunity of. deserving
.sj'nething at your bands for services pre,vicitly
r.!clered to you, even to such a man, so situated,
such proofs of friendship as you have bestowed
,uponme must have been gratifying beyond the
or linary lot of human gratLication 5 bu,t When I
redect that these expressions of affection and
es-
teem are lavished upon a stritnge—upon One who
has neither served you, nor been personally known
to you before, who cannot boast of having earned
voar favour by any thing that is past, and cask only
look forwe.rd with hope that his future lift". may
not prove hint unworthy of your
,partiality, I
confess 1 am absolutely overwhelmed, by those
eflections, and want words to' express feelings,
which I have not the power to controul. But,
Gentlemen, the circumstance of my not being- per-
. 63 nallv known to you, as it enhances in one view say
obligation to you; so does it simplify in another
point of view, -and dignify our relation with each

the'.

" In calling upon me, as you have • done, you
Could i'lot he actuated by any personal partiality.
It. must have been to my public principles arid
conduct that am indebted for your selection, of
me s the indivAnal to whom your best interests
rrf accon'uim.-; to your judgment, be most
Iy confided, and by whom
,your sentiments were
likely to be most correctly represented. Of
verpool, Gentlemen, I knew nothing a week ago,
but by report-7—as a great and opulent town deep:
Iy inteve•ited in the prosperity of the kingdom, and
contributinghtrgely to that prosperity by its crAn
induStry and enterprize. It is only- since I came
amongst you I have had the opportunity of being
'convinced you. are of the rank. which you hold
among the. cities and towns of this great and Ron-
rishing land. • •

• " The habits of u, commercial people are sober,
cautious, and calculating, not prone to exagge-.
ration'and enthusiasm ; and 'as all human qualities
have their accompanying.and qualifying defects,
it has been, sometimes: thought that the Judginent
of i,hose.engaged in the pursuits of commerce is
apt to be warped by interest, and the quick sensi-
bility of honour blunted in. them by their avidity
for gain. My short 'experience of Liverpool has
shown me,• in contradiction. to that general chin-
raeter," that one of the most opulent, the most
skilful, and the most -adventurous communities
that ever., grew great:by trade, is'also the most
alive to every sentiment by which wealth can be
ennobled ;< and .that, in the soberest calculation
of Our, own interests, you consider them as in-
separable from the national honour. Gentlemen,
tht;seare sentiments which, if T am to represent
you in:Parliament; it will henceforth be as much
my duty to, uphold and to proclaim, not as my
