Lord ERSKINF., in proposing " the health of the Sheriffs of
London," could not help congratulating his fellow-citizens
on the choice of their present Sheriffs. It was of the ut rAnst
importance to the cause of freedom that men of their hardy
independence and political honesty should be in office in toe
present times. whets there was constantly carded on a sys!ent
of unreutitted persecution against every person who avowed
himself an advocate fur liberal principles.—(Great applause.)
—lt was neccssary, however, that their fellow-citizens should
give such men their strongest support, fur otherwise their
