COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL.

CITY MILITIA.

A Court of Common Council was yesterday held
for the purpose of taking into consideration the Re.
port of the Committee, appointed to investigate the
state of the two regiments of City Militia.
The Report of the Committee, which went in sub-
stance to recommend the disbanding of the present
regiments, and the substitution of a Local Militia of
equal numbers, to be assembled either once a-year for
/8 days, or twice a-year for 14 days, in their stead,
having been read,
Mr. Alderman Venn, after expressing his surprise
at the absence of the four City Members, on whose
account expressly, the subject for discussion was post-
poned at the last Common Council, moved that the
Court do agree to the Report which had been read.
The question having been put—.
Mr. Deputy Box said, he felt himself peculiarly
called upon to oppose the motion, as well from a
sense of duty as from a feeling of interest. By the
term interest, he did not mean any selfish interest,
but that interest which it behoved every good man to
feel for the safety and security t f his country. Many
stigmas had been thrown out Against the two regi-
Ments of Militia, which could not be supported by
proof. They had not in fact fair play ; for their ac-
cusers, although liberal in gereral invective, had not
produced a single instance in support Of their calumny.
It had been said, that by the institution of those re-
giments, the rights and privileges of the city had
been invaded. This was an assertion, however, which
the Act for their appointment flatly contradicted, as
by that Act it was distinctly specified, that their
existence was in no wise to interfere or alter in the
slightest sense the charters and immunities of the
city. The two tegiments were suppotted at a less
expense than any other regiments in the country.—
They were in fact a part of the military force of
the kingdom, which at this awrul period could ill be

Mr. WIIEBLE observed, that the original institution
the militia regiments had been planned by a set of
ignorant and stupid men, who after the most unwea-
ried exertion, bad only been able to carry their point
by a majority of a single vote.—The existence of such'
a force in the city he tbouplit wholly unnecessary,
and therefore thought their disbandment an object of
peculiar importance. _

- Sir R. CA Ilk GLYN thought the Report before the
Court extiemely unwise, and not at all calculated to
meet the general wishes of the inhabitant‘of the city.
In fact, he thought the existence of those regiments
extremely tssent.al to the peace and tranquillity of
the
_metropolis, as they would be at all times ready
to assist the civil power in the suppression cf riot or
unexpected commotion. A loc.il militia could not
be raised witl.out ballot, and would be extremely ob•
noxious to the hiliabitants.

Mr. Alderman Cnniseornen SMITH strongly in-
veighed against- ti e alitairdity of the Repot t, and
titit‘ndcd that it was wholly inconsistent K ith the iii-
tcrests of the city, to comply with its suggestions.
Mr. WAITILMAN felt disposed to hear the observa-
tions of any other Gentleman in opposition to the
Report, before he addressed himself to the Court;
but as n 6 person seemed inclined to speak fi:rther on
the subject, he should trace the liberty of making a
few remarks. With reference to what had already
passed, as he had heard nothing like a reply, or even
a single observation upon the subject before the
Court, he had little to say. It had been admitted
that the introduction cf a Militia force into the city
Was an infringement cn its Charters. This was all
he (Mr. Waithman) conten:!ed for, and all he was
desirous of preventing. The Trained Bands were
certainly an inefficient force, when they had ceased
to be ttained; but had they been propLrly regulated,
and under an efficient Magistracy, he was satisfied
they would have been adequate to all the purposes
to which it was said the Militia could be applied.--
He was of opinion that the interpcsition cf military
force in the City of London was an actual infringe-
ment of the ancient City Charters. He contended
that the plan suggested by the Report, was 1114 ade-
quate to every purpose the City might desire, and
would save to the Government an expense of £50,000
per annum. The Worthy Deputy (Box) had asked
what crime could be brought against the Militia Re
giments, and ir;veiglied in strong terms against the
injustice of aspersing them without foundation. If
the Honourable Gentleman had read the Report, he
would have there found that question answered: He
would have found what he (Mr. Waithman) had so
often asserted, that the Militia system in existence
was no more thin a takry job.
Mr. S. Dixox hoped, when the magnitude of the pro-
perty of the City of London was considered, every man
would see the expediency of supperting a military
force ; and as the militia regiments already assembled
were applicable to every possible purpose which the
City could requite, he saw no reason for adopting'
any new plans, or fur altering those arrangements
which bad hitherto proved so satisfactory to the ma-
jority of the inhabitants of that great town.
Mr. Jtc Ks opposed the Motion. He could not see
the propriety cf stigmatizing the Magistiafes of Lon-
don, because some of them happened to be chosen to
command their fellow•citizens. He maintained, the
expense of raising the London Regiments of Militia
was not unreasonable; and -he contended, that the
advantages enjoyed by the City in being protected
from having soldiers quartered upon them, Were such
as ought to make them cheerfully submit to that cx-
pence. It was no reason why a standing fume should
not be necessary now, that it was.not. necessary 2JO
years ago ; for the situation cf the Continent had,
since that time, undergone such a change as made it
necessary for this country to put itself—in a proper
state of preparation. He concluded with moving the
folios% ing Amendment

" That it is the op'nion of this Court, that In a war of the
reagintude and vital importance in which the British Emp'te Is
at present engaged, it will be highly improper for the City of Lou-
don to apply to Pmkament for leave either to disband it portion
of the detente of the kingdom, or to reduce their services to the
peace establitliment ; the two regiments of London Mil.ria hay-
itirbeen constitutior.ally raised with die oonsent of this Court as
the representatives of their Fellow -Stiletto at large."
Mr. Rem, opposed the Motion.
. Mr. WAITIittAN explained.
Mr. Alderman Naos contended that the statement
in the Report of the inutility of the London Militia.
was completely unfounded. The London regiments,
too. were not more expensive "than other regiments
of MILL'. How could it be *aid that 'that part of

.

the Militia sthich remained ht tom was useless, if
protected the dock-yardP, and supported the NI iv
tracy in cases of etncr.gency ? And wh.isasfatilt was
it that the London Militia was not mire &Feet ve?—
Not surely that of the Government, but of the Court
of Common Council themselves, whO, front their jea•
lousy of any infringement on their privileges, clsim.
ed this limitation of their service. Th•s compla:ot i I
inefficiency came, therefore, with a very bad gra• I
from those who had themselves been th ntea•is 01
occasioning it. He maintained, thst a force which
might be the merit: of prosaving the City from rui;)
in an emergency like that of 1780, could never Iv
stated to be useless.

Mr. Sheriff UE%OATE, although he would ever set
himself against abuses, and vote for inquiry into
them, cltild not help opposing the present rooti,m,
The officers of t'ie Load,in Militia were eiccte.l by
their zens and not remerable by the Crown,
and he could conceive nothing mote coaatitutional
than this.

Mr. Ftvr.Lt. tup ported the Motion.
Mr. GUIFFITIIS said th were more tri,,is by
Crrarts Isfart:al in one regimz.it of London Militia in
lent, year than in all the ether regiments I-4: to-
gether throughout the kingdom ; and when taey
called out on ar.y occas on, their only of ject seemed
to he to plunder their neii4hbours.
M. Dixox explain:2J.
Mr. BELL expl.tined.
Mr. Ovist dis.ipproved of throwing a slur on a
whu:e oa account of the misconduct of a few
individuals. He oppo.el the Amendineut.
Mr. Bitten explained.
Sir Wieentst Corms said the expence of the Lon.
don Militia was only four pence in the pound. He
thought it was very unfair to stigmatize a body lot

the misconduct of a ICW.

SrAnnlNG.—Crib, the Boxing• Champion, . re-
ceived another tribute due to his pugilistic powesri,
at the Fives Court yesterday, which was more
crowded than ever before witnessed, excepti.t for the
benefit of the Pnaugnese sufferers. The pugilistic
corps mustered strong, and the Champion's van,
quished adversary again made his appearance froni
exile in Sussex, where he had taken up his abode to
'avoid some difficulties brought (in him lie proressed
friends. The setting.to was very satisfactory; and
one. between Moliacaux and Cri6, conveyed to the
amateur, oho way absent at Tiiissleton Gap, anothet
correct idea of that b ittle. The professors hit, stop.
ped, and ridlied with great success. Another good
set-to took place between Afolbseaux and Power, equal
to the former, where the science of the boxing art was
pre-eminently displayed. There were several other
matches, amongst which the athletic Nottinghamsh'rei
man exhibited with Aftficaraux—and it was a long
wished for event, as a match, which has nev.rr gee
been brought to bear, has been long. a topic in the
sporting circles. After an exhibition of a qnarter of
an hour, to the advantage of Afolintaxx, who had a
fine opportunity i f :hewing off his superior :e'ence.
the latter openly challenged to fight any man in Eng-
land in three months, for 200 guineas down to tei
barring,Cra. This challenge was meant for the Nos
tinghamshire man, iho tuformed the audience he
would fight the Black in eight ,weeks; so that the
match is understood. Among the other, matches,
most worthy of nmica, was one between Pa liner and
Jona, and another between a little Jewish lad, who
was announced under the title of Docior G..y.yriy, and
a lcu:h of considgably greater weight and size. Nov:
withstanding the apparent odds, the extra-ordinary
quickness, science, and spirit of the Doctor, placed
the combatants upon a level in execu.ion. The ama.

FestAt,E Rr.soLurtox --Monday se'nnight John
Bunton was commived to the City Gaol, at Not with,
by J. H. Cole, gsq. Mayor, charged with burgl tri- •
dimly entering the preniises of Messrs. Aggs and Co.
in the parish of S!. Clement, on-Friday se'nnight, in '
the night time, and stealing therefrom a quantity of
twist cotton. The discovery of this robber was ef-
fected under. circumstances which manifest singular
resolution, wh, re perhaps it might least be exi,ected,
namely, in a female. The conductor of the mum.
foctory, Mr. Str.ke,.has a daughter, who superintends
that department which is performed by women, and
'steeps in a room adjoining the factory. On the above
evening she was awakened by a n ise, evidettly pro-
ceedng front some one who had broken into the pre-
miss, when haitiiy s:i;-.pinr; on a great-coat that lay
in her room. she ran to her father's chamber, and be
not bang dressed with sufficient spec(' to meet her
eagerness, she snatched up a large !Ammer, and went
aline, in the dark, into the manufactory, where she
perceived Bunton, in the act of taking the twist cot-
ton fri m a loom. She instantly struck, him on the
back of the head with the hammef, and on his turn-
ing about, repeated the blow on his forehead with
such effect as to bring him to the ground covered
withoblood. Apprehending that 14 might.probably
kiave accomplices, she shrieked :load, which brought
.ber father to her assistance, and they secured the
lubber.

Th., Vestry of Saint Kiry-la.bonne have rewarded
Jane Gregsnii, the servant of Mr. Thomas, of Oxford-
street, with Five CI6ICAS, for her exemplary courage
in rebisting the roly...er who bro -e into her master's
h nue, alld thereby preserving his roperty from pion-
, des. We hope this example will stinnilate other ser-
vanti to a s:nsiLtr diKharge of their duty.

The value of Dr. Funs:awl GUTTA SALVTARIS
has been sn long proved, that nothing of the present
day can bear a competition with it, in alt the diffe-
' rent stages of a certain disease, which it effectually
, cures and eradicates from t: e habit, without exciting
the painful feelings and exposure that attends saliva-
' tion—without debilitating the constitution in any de-
gree, or even requiring confinement from business or
restriction of diet. Ihe radical virtues of these ines-
timable Drops have proved their claim to publ c ap-
probation for more than 30 years. In all the debility
of both sexes they iirove a never-failing restorative—
whcther the debility is produced by too free use of
mtrcary, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warm
climate - To travellers and those going abroad, they
cannot be recommended too strongly, as they will re.
ccive a safe, speedy, and complete cure, in all old
stuff horn gleets, and every weakness that affects the
bladder and organs of urine. lly its eaicacy many
women have become mothers, who for many years
had been deprived of that happiness.—Sold wholesale

WHEN Men cf Education and professional skin
ore perseverthg endeavours to discover the Eton safe at:d
ernes method of treating a dew prevalliug Lb.cases, the success-
ful result of their expoieuce is the best proof of super.ority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeon', have been induced to make
the cute of the following the object of their particular study, eta.
a certain Disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxi-
cation, and its concomitants, :triciures and Glens, which, by
an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured; as ai.so de--
bible' whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long reel-
den.e in warm caimans, or a secret pantry vim, tpo often en-
happilz pursued by the youth of boils sexes, Inittbbi-pne causing
stenlity or barrenness and in the other a nutheroublara nof rer
vous diseases, which, if not timely rented•ed, terminate in im-
potence and Consumption. In that distressing sate of &bitty m
deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful halms, of
arising from any other cause' by which the powers of the soreiti
tudon become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of Lon
don, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to'snuisd and
vigorous health.
Mr result of a long tad monde* practice has enabled them,
by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, however
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient to
the least restraint In diet or exercise ; and in recent Cases
where an early application is made on discoverpof the Ipfection,
they frequently. perform a cure In the short space of two days
The .unprecedented success of their mode of treatment (which
has never been known to fall in one single instance in a prac-
tice of IS years, during which period many thousand persons
of both sexes have been cured, even after setae and ittjurons
methods had been pursued by other Practitiongrs without effect),
induces them to thus publicly offer their advice.
Mears. GOSS and Co. exclusively professing the care of these '
particular complaints, ip order that they mse not be marked by
a mistaken fete, with the obloquy so justly attached to the Igno-
rant empiric, thick it but justice to themselves to state, that they
have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of
the profession (cen ideates of which, from different hominids, and
testimonials from the most eminent Phyti,ciatis, they have to eon.
wince any inquirer), that the *twos resulting (rum their endea-
vours Grit induced them to quit tue 'tactics of the general Prac-
thicseer, and they presume that their pretens:ons ron.thute a Ms
ground for the unprecedented confidence rids which they have,
by, the public, been polite nby honoured.
Patients in the country are requested to state the particulars
of their case, age, and manner of living, 'naming a Bank Note,
foe advice and medicines, and the same will be forwarded to any
