STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

• We are happy to announce that the Stock Exchange
Gentlemen have 'come forward in a.most handsame
m inner for the selief of WicsoN, the pedestrian. As
soon As it WAS ascertained, this morning, that the
Magistrates had actisalle prevented the enitc:ns'on
of the pee-four:lance, a-sub,caiptinn wet intniediaiele
began in the House. and upwards of Met) were
raised in little mote than two !mots. %Vilsoii slept at
Mr. Dyer's last night, and was there this
.mcnieng :
he appearsanuch depressed in consere-ace of the un-
expected conduct of the Magistrates, and is fully con-
lidant he would have accomplished the task v4ithin
the riven time.
A copy cif the warrant, given in our preceding ere.
limns, for arresting Wilson, specifies e that the said
Wilson' has for seneral days, pursuant to pubt'e
vertisentent, been walking tipon Blackheath ant)
in the vicinity
.for a remuneration in money, and
huh thereby briitight together, by day and
a very tumultuous assemblage of people"—and
for this offence he is ordered to be taken into
custody. We doubt very much the legality of
this warrant. Walking upon the King's highway
for a remuneration in money. is no etience against
law. If it be one. then toe Mogistroes fleet
commit the letter-carrier. the ticket-po. ter —nay, even
the curate of the parish, or he wales to c:aircii oti a
Sunday, fur a remuneration in motley. It thee the
mere walking kw a consideration in m-aiey, do rot
constitute the offence. its essence must be in hi
ing together a very .tuintaltuous assemblage of
people. li the Magistrates mean to jateile them-
selves upon that ground. they must prove it.—
Were it otherwise, they might arrest with inipteitty
every roan they meet in.the street, upon the fetasted
pretence that he brought together a very tufted.
Moons assembly. But what is th: tact in thrice-
sent case? Of all things on earth, a tiimulta,us
assemblage of people was that which p or Wilson
most deprecated, and he had most to le ir.—
Why did not the Magistrates arrest Biuchey and
-Plata, and the Emperor Aletantlet? Their ap-
,piarance also attracted great crowds but their toe
• :Auld not have been se strong as that of poor Mi-
en& Their vanity might have been gratifi al bar their
attraction among the public. A crowd would be the
greatest enemy to his vanity, by operating against
its gratification .in the defeat of his enteiprise.
The powers which Wilson possessed by nature, to
walk a tonsiderabla distance within a given time up.
on the King's highway, it appears, excited the curio-
sity of many persons. If nature gave a mail a very
long note, would it sot be a hard case to take hiin
into custody because a great many people iolloascd
him in the sutra to get• a peep at it ?
• It is not insinuated that, in the pit 7ent case, anv
breach of the. FLOWN wits actually comuot;ad— h •t
the man was walking ;fur •a bet or wager, cr. any
thing to give it a gembling or spouting a.anpl,!sion—
or that his pereetteraace in the task would endargsr
his life•si iedelei..it is more probable that his life will
be endangered by his mortification in being arrested
in his task on.the eve of its completion.
We iire•glad to find that no insinuation of this 1:711
is made, and that the Magistiatet adepe rre•tely di .t
4t he was walking for a remuneraeon in money, alai
thereby brought tegethee a tumultuous assembly."—
It maybe presumed. ikon the length of time ninth
the Magistrates have spent in d.:liberation, that ill •T
have been well advised. We hope that this sh 11
prove to be the case, and that the legality of the•r
conduct will stand the test of the Court of King's
Bench, the opinion of which, report states, the
friends of Wilson are dee, niined to t .ke up:it the
'abject.
