COURT OF ALDERNMS.

A Court of Aldermen was held at the Guild-
hall yesterday, at which were, present the Al-
dermen Bridges, Curtis, Birch, Magnay, Atkins,
C. Smith, Leighton, Bloxain, Ansley, Hunter,
Domville, Wood, Waithman, Heygate, and J. J.
Smith. The only business stated on the sum-
mons was to consider a Report from fri,e Com-
mittee relative to the late 'prosecution against
certain Liverymen instituted by that Court. No
notice, however, was taken of. this subject ; 'but
immediately on the Court's being formed,
Mr. Alderman BIRCH rose to propose that a
dutiful and. loyal Add: ess should be presented
to his Majesty by that Court, expressing their at-
tachment to his Royal Person 'and Government.
He prefaced this motion by a speech of some
length, in which he took occasion to observe
upon the many- attempts made from almost all
quarters to assail his Majesty's Government in
every possible way, and remarked upon the nu-
merous Addresses, overflowing with impiety and
sedition, which had been presented to the Queen.
He then proceeded to pronounce a very violent
philippic upon the Press, which he denounced as
most abandoned, and exerted only for the pur-
poss,e of inflaming the worst passions of the peo-
ple, and the elorts of which were seconded, if
not exceeded, by the indecent
_exhibitions in
every print-shop, all tending to degrade and
bring into contempt his Majesty's " Government.
He therefore felt it to be the dUty of that Court
to express their determination to protect the
Crown and uphold: the Constituted Authorities.
With this view he proposed the Address, which
was then read.—The Address being seconded,

W. pomvier,E observed, that he should be
as ready as any member of that- Court to agree
to an Address of loyalty and. attachment to'his
Majest.ios- person, but. there were expresi4ons in.
the Address now read with 'which he could not
coincide ; there were also other matters omitted,
without the introduction of Which, he could not
bring his mind to accord with the Address i, he
alluded to. the ,donduet,of his. Majest?s,Ministers
towards. the Queen; which he considered highly
improper and' reprehensible.
Alderman Woon defended-the Press from the
calumnious observations thus generally cast upon
it, the object of which could.be intended only to
reproach.the independent-part of it for the -noble'
efforts on the behalf of her Majesty, and to prop
'up a weak and Unpopular. Administration. -
Alderman W A ITHMAN said ,he was not surprised
at-seeing so full an attendance. indeed it seldom
happened now but that some of the gentlemen
had extraordinary business to propose, to the
obstruction of the common bUsiness of the Court,
which seemed to be scarcely 'thought of, and
which it, was' now. difficult to get sufficiency -of
members to attend to perform ; though, by some
strange means, their attendance was always en-
sured when similar Motions to the present were to
be brought forward.
Alderman WOOD said he knew letters had.
'been privately sent round to- summon the friends,
.or supposed friends of this measure ,• and if such
underhand proceedings- were resorted to,'and the'
Court thus taken by surprise,-they ought not to
wonder if attempts were sometimes made to de-
feat them by breaking up the Court.
Mr. Alderman HEYGATE said,it had been stat-
ed lately in the public prints, that the proceed-
ings of that Court were no secret, and that they
possessed the means,.of giving publicity to tbem.
He therefore judged ..the- proceedings of this day
would appear also, and he hoped that, if his ob-
servations were reported, they Would be reported
fairly and faithfully. -He was willing to agree to
a dutiful and loyal.. Address, provided it was. ex-
pressive of their .duty.. and loyally only. He
-would inform the worthy Alderman (Wood) .his
opinions of the- reprehensible part of the public
pres's. He considered .her Majesty's answers to.
many addresses very reprehensible, particularly
her allusions to "the. army, which he conceived
had-a tendency to encourage -them to assist to
overturn the present Government. lie was not
a party-man, nor any.particular friend to the
present Ministers ; where he. voted for them
twice, he was three times in opposition to theni ;
his only wish was for-suCh Ministers as would re..
ducethe army and-decrease the public exPendi-
lure,. and such, a set of Ministers he, for one,
should like to -see in power.
Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN said he was as will-
ing to go up with a loyal Address to his Majesty as
the worthy Alderman who had just sat down, or
the proposer of the present Address ; but he was
at a loss to know what it was that the Honourable
Mover- intended, or how to understand the argu-
ments and allusions he had made in support of
his proposition. Did he wish other new. laws to be
enacted and enforced, or in what way was it he
suggested to alter the temper and disposition of
the public ? With regard to the answers of her
Majesty, which had been objected to by- the
WorthyAiderman, otit of so many hundreds there
Were certainly a few which he did not altogether
approve -of ; not indeed for the Matter, .bilt be-
cause they afforded an opening for misrepresen-
tation : but, for the far _greater number of her
Majesty's replies to addresses, he looked upon
them as worthy of general commendation, and con-
taining a body of excellent constitutional maxims.
The worthy Alderman (Heygate) 'had censured
sonic of these answers as tending to encourage 'the
army to overturn the Constitution ; on the contrary,
herMajestycornpliments the army for their love and
adherence to the Constitution, and expresses her
confidence that British soldiers will never be in-
duced to lend their assistance to violate the-laws
of-destroy the Constitution ; and in so doing she
has said no more than has.b.een asserted by the
worthy Alderman himself. lie, professes at the
same time to be desirous to decrease the army
and- reduce the public expenditure ; this, in his
(Mr. Waithman's) judgment, would be test ef-
fected,by conciliating the affections of the people,
which would' seat_his Majesty .in the hearts of his
subjects, and render a Standing Army
.to uphold
the Governtnent useless' and unnecessary.
Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER. said he had always
supported Ministers because he approved their

measures ; and, he was now prepared, to accord
with an address, ,so far as related to the:peffon of
the Sovereign ; but a sense of duly intelled him
to oppose the present address. He was of opi-
nion that the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers
relative to the Queen was
.highly improper, and.
contrary to their duty, and had raised the voice
of faction' throughout
sthe.whole country. An-
Address of this sort he would most readily: agree
to; and he thought the
.court• by adopting it, `
would do itself honour, and, redeem itsell.from
the very lowest ebb of ridicule,• to which it had.
been reduced by going up so often with unmean;
lag and fulsome addresses.
Alderman BittoGta thought it right that 'an
Address of this kind should be adopted at this
moment, and highly approved of the one which
had been proposed ; for really it was -quite
shocking to see so much disloyalty, and so many
Addresses and Processions going up every day,
and people hired and paid to dress and go up
with them.
Alderman .J. J. SMITH had no objection to go
up With a loyal Address, but h could not vote
for an Address which contained such imputations
upon the loyalty of his Malesty'S subjects as that
proposed by the worthy Alderman. The Address
he could agree to-must also:contain some repre-
sentations disapproving -Of the conduct of the
present Ministry.
Alderman, ,CURISTOPHEit SMITH thought the
failure in the proteedings against the Queen was
the effect of blunders of the Administration ; and
he, therefore, was of opitiion'Ahat they ought to
go out. If the 'Address had contained any ap-
proval of the' conduct of Ministers, he •should
have opposed it ; but as it was an -expression of
loyalty and attachment to the Sovereign only, 'it
should have his support. . .•
Alderman .11uNrun then suggested, as an
Amendment, the insertion .of some expression
guarding against any approval of the conduct of
Ministers. The Worthy Baronet -did not, how.-
ever,* press his Amendment,' but the' same idea
was 'taken up by, Mr. Alderman Heygate,
moved the insertion of words to the following
effect ;—" Although we are. far from 'expressing
any approbation or opinion upon the conduct of
Ministers relative to her Majesty the Queen."
Alderman. BIRCH said the Address did not
contain any such appreval or opinion ; he had.
carefully avoided it.
The Amendment was then put, and' negativel
by a majority of 8 to .6. •
'Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN then attempted to
introduce an amendment to the following effect
.4 We cannot, at the same time, forbear expressing our con-
viction that the present distracted state of the country has
been in a considerable degree occasioned by the recent mea-
sures adopted relative to her Majesty the aueen ; and that a,
change of council would tend to restore the peace, union, and
harmony of his Majesty's subjects."
This amendment was also negatived.
Sir Wm. CURTIS said, he highly approved of
the address, and the more so as the mover had.
cautiously abstained from any mention of ap--
proval relative to the conduct of Ministers.
The Loan MAYOR was about to put the ques-
tion on the.original motion for the Address, Ivheit.
Sir W. DOMN-ILIA: again rose, and in a very im-
pressive manner said, " My Lord Mayor, no matt
in .this Court has a higher veneration. foPthe per-
son of the Sovereign than I have, or could .be
more forward than should be in expressing-hig
affection and loyalty. I have received personal
favours and honour front his Majeity, which I
shall always-feel and acknowledge with heartfelt
gratitude ; but-this is a matter which .I. cannot
in my conscience sUPporf. Ido sincerely think
the King has la&T ill used, ill advised, and his
confidence abused ; and I think it is the duty of
all his Majesty's real friends to tell him the
honeSt truth." •
The Address was then carried by a majority
of B'to 6,

tom of taking off the hat as a sign of mutual .salu-
talon, has been abolished, instead of which tin
military mode of simply raising- the hand to the
hat has been introduceds since the date of the
19th of November. The members of ,university,
the. professors and the students, the Members of

BETWEEN JOSHUA. ;HUDSON', AND GEORGE WIL-
LIAMS, ,DE,NOAIIN..A.T.ED. THE '4 SWELL 'BOXER,"'

FOR FIFTY GUIN,FAS A SIDE.

, .
Mousley Hurst, yesterday, .was again the fa-
vourite ." bit of turf" for this. genteel mill to
~be docided upon. The swells
,tnustered, nume-
rously, upon this occasion. 'Williams was per-
fectly ;unknown to the mass of amateurs; but
those persons who, knew him, or prelentkd to be
acquainted with his prime fighting qualitiesi
*tied all, .the auld ring goers out of conceit of
their
,own judgment, and Williams was the ..(avo-
rite, 8 and 5 to 4.—At a.few minutes before one
o'clock, Williams appeared and threw hi; hat
into the.ring, followed by Belcher and Randall,
as his seconds.,.. The look of Williams was
sweilish i!1 the, extreme, and he was togged out
accordingly. He bowed in the, most graceful
manner, and there was a superior, air about hitri
altogether._ ye paced the ring up and down for
about eight minutes,,: then ...30‘,11. Hudson, with
his n bite topper. on, a prime fancy upper. I.ienja
min, a blue bird's-eye silk fogle round,ll6,squeeze,
came brushing along, and threw his caster into
"the ring. He immediately, went up to Williams,
and shook hands with him in the tnue•open
hearted. Englishstyle. Williams observed to
Hudson,." that hehoped there was nounirnosity_
between them." NOt the least," said he,
v‘e .to fight for a prize, and to see
whkh is the best man." Owen and. Ned Tur-
ner were the seconds for Josh. Hudson. The
latter tied his colours, yellow, tp the stakes, and
Randall covered them with the blue of Williams.

t. On stripping, Williams displayed a fine muscular frame,
and also p.m! legs ; but his face was very pale; His counte-
nance, bespOke that of a man.between 40 and .S years of age.
Josh. was,i t high trim, .anti•he seemed confident-of winning.:
Sony- time elapsed after the comlnaants had placed) h emseivek
.attitud when Williams let fly, but' Hudsorr grkt away.—
conoter, hits occur. ed,. when Josh.'s right. eye sheaved blood,
and the nose of the .vwell looked a little rod. ~4'illiant made
a
right-banded hit, which Hudson stopped prettily, and tben•
went.tosVork. The exchanges were sharp and bard; but.the•
riviAtycastors of Josh. were. so tremendous, that he spoilt the'
gentility of the swell and milledbiu down. Groat applause_
front the.plebeiaris and Tikm Owen smilingly. said to Josh.
" I told you so, My boy.. Why thaes.the way to clear Regent-
street of all thenve//s in a brace of shakes.!!--.7•16. 4. • .

9. Josh's eye was bleeding when he came up tii the,seratch.
The swell was rather puzzled, but he-toothed Hudson's other
peeper Cu Severely, that his no 3 was Chrtrrenied, for an instant.
Hudson
.made a plunge with his right hand .upon his oppo-
nent's face" that produced the etarct, followed bids up to the
ropes; and.spunished him down.-3 to 1, and " it's pound-
able,'.' wT:s the cry.
3. The hitherto genteel appearance of the swell had left
him, and his nittg,.it was chaffed, had paid a visit to Pepper-
alio. Williams sbewed game; but he had no chance to win.
He, however, tnade spun, sharp hits; but the. pepper-bar was
again administered, and Williams went down quite distressed.
Kt to i.

4. This ,ronad was the quirtns as to tire tide'of:winning,
and the *well was hit out, of the ring.--Any odds,' but no
takers.

5. The claret was.. running down in torrents, and WUlisths
.was brought up to the scratch in a most distressed state. He
however ihowedhght, and with his right hand pnt in a tre-
mendous body blew, bat it was his last effort. Josh. now went
in tight and left, and punished the mett.soltrtibly, tliat he
staggered and 'fell against the ropes •bnt on recovering hint-
self a little, Tons Owen said to Josh.• " Don't give a chance
away, a figishvr i only Waoting". Thefrasher.was'applied,
and Williams was down to all abroad Thelltellslookedbitie,
and .Josh. received thunders of opplanse, "-Take him awa)!"

6. Williams came to the scratch in the most piteous state,
and he wasp oortd sans When time was called he
could not leave his. second's knee. • -

Williams was Wien away it, a post-chaise almost insensible..
SECOND FIGLIT.—A Subscription ,Purse was, made up for
Spencer, a, butcher of ')Vbiteehapel:market the second

hero), sod Smith, a Waterman. The (u“ner was sem:dell by
Purcell . and Belascts; And Smith, by Seroggins and ..Day.
Hudson. Thii teat a most tremendous battle, occupying three;
quivters.of an hour,: at 11 rounds. Several changes tuck
un place; Spencer proved. If self. a,ame man, as dirl
The latter has some terrible pittta s:ii7zg. qualities about hint,
and was declared thC victor. Smith was much-- beaten about
rile face, Alid,hoth' bi94geepeiT were. nearly closed. Spencer
fought until he could not leave the knee of his second.

NoRTH:WESTERNETXPEDITION.---The follow-
,
ing extract from a. scarce Work, entitled, " Ob-
servattons on a Nortfr-Wes tern Passage,. by the
late WM. Go LDSON, Esq.. of Portsmouth, pnblish-
ed in the year 1793," is deserving of attention.
If tike au.thgrity, stated' be.,not questionable, the
passage from Lancaster's Sound to the Pacific
Ocean has been made.:—

A Voyage is said to have been made in the year 1538.
The only account we have of. it is from a Memoir read at .a
'Meeting of the Acudemy of
.Sciences at Paris,: Nor. I'S, ,1720,
by 111: 13uachi, geographer to the French King.—The .sub-
'stance of this Memoir is, that M. ile klendoza, ,a Captain in
the Spanish Navy„eroployed to ,form a collection far the use
of that service,,. having
.searched.rariotts.archires, found an
account of thisl79)ageEwbich was made under the. command
of Lcirenzo Ferrer de Maldanadii. From an inspection of
this Journal it appears,. that %Ohm .be arrived is latitude GO
deg. North, :and„ longitude 3W. ,deg East from Ferri'', lie
steered to the WestiYard, tearing Hodson's 13,ry- to the South,
and Baffin's Bay' to the North. and in Ihe latitude b 5 deg.
North, and longito.dt,297 deg. Bast from Ferro,. (from which
:nicridian the longiturle, is reflpned through the whole Jour-
nal) he alfered his course to the North Ward. thr,:tigh,
