WE:STNENSTER JOCIET Y

For Insurance on 1 ives and Survivorships and granting Annuities,
STRAND AND CORNHILL, LONDON.
THIS Society, instituted for the conveniency and
accommodation of every class and condition of lite, was es-
tablished in London, in 1792, upon a plan settled after the most
mature consideration and approbation of several of the most
vent of His Majesty's Counsel.
It embraces two objects of concern to the public, viz. Insurance
on Lives and Survivorships and granting Annuities.
INSURANCE ON LIVES.

This object affords the opportunity to provide for the Aged,
the Widow and the Fatherless, and to guard against the loss and
disappointment of a dependance on the casualty of life. To this
end any person, for the annual premium specified in the tables,
can secure to his Widow and Children the payment of such a sum
of money, as in his judgment will save them from that distress
and poverty which his death would otherwise occasion.—ln the
case of fines for the renewal of Leases held on Lives, a very be-
neficial advantage is secured to the parties holding such Leases,
by insuring the amount therof on the Life or Lives of the person
or persons, at whose death such fines are payable.—The purchase
n oney for Life Interests or Annuities may be secured by insuring
the Life of the party upon whom the same depends.—Persons
holding Church Preferment or any other situation, by which they
possess only Income for Life, may secure a reversion of a stipu•
lated amount in money to their Widows or Families.—Persoun
holding employments in public offices, depending either on the
Lives of themselves or of others, may, by the modes adopted in
this Office, be secured from loss in case of the death of the party
on whose Life the same may be held.—Any person not possessed
of an independent property before marriage, may, by insestog his
Life, be enabled to make such settlement on his intended wife,
as shall be deemed requisite.—Among the various benefits this
Office attiards, none, perhaps, may be greater, than the opportu-
nity it gives for satisfying creditors, where the ability of the debtor
to discharge their claims depends on Ow continuance of the life—
This may be accomplished by securing, through annual payments
en a Life Insurance, a sum to be paid at the death of the debtor;
failure In trade may by this be prevented, and arrangements made
in conseq ience equally beneficial to debtor and creditor.
N. B. Any person having insured his Life at this Office may,
by will, dispose of the property to arise therefrom, as his own
personal estate.

FLOWER MAYOR. - • '
A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the ChAml)ir
I 1 of the Guildhall of the City of London, or. Thursday, the
' day of April, 1809,
Resolved unanimously, That this Cour: has, on frequenc °tea-
o., evinced its detestation of the Poblib- Abuses, which have
..1 found to exist in various Departments bi- th State, and it
:not but equally condemn the corrupt Practices developed by
late Investtgation.before the House of Parliament.
rttsoived, That r•WYLLTNI LLOYD WARDLE, Esq. having, un-
ee by Ministerial hreats, exhibited serious Charges against
• late Cornmanthl• is Cliief, which have been clearly substan-
:ed, and which have, in fact, induced his Royal Highness to re-
a Situation of which he is unworthy, is entitled to the esteem
Id gratitude of this Court and tiie Country.
Re,otved unanimously, That the Thanks of this Court and the
.eeclom of thi- City, in a Gold Box; of the value of One Hun-
tred Guineas, be presented to Gwy IN 3a LLOYD WARDLE, Esq.
grai:ful testimory of the high sense they entertain of the zeal,
!tepidity, and patnotism, which is so eminently evinced in that
.luous and laudahl..! undertaking.
Resolved, That the Thanks of this Court be presented to Sir
IANCIS BURDETT, Bart. (Seconder), Lout FOLKSTONE,
,NIU Er. WHITIIR EA D, Esq. Sir Swai3er. RONIILLY, Knt. Gene-
ral f ERG('S'MN, HARVEY CEIR/STIAN Costae, Esq. Alderman,
and one of the Representatives of this City in Parliament, and the
rest of the 19.5 Independent Members who, upon the important
question on the Conduct of his Royal Highness the-Dake of York,
attempted to stein the torrent of Corruption.
Resolved, That as a considerable number of those who voted
-:!n favour of the late Commander in Chief, on the 18th of March
last, hold lucrative appointments at the pleasure of the Crown, a
vote of acquittal tinder such circumstances must at all times appear
extremely equivocal, but when given, as in the present instance,
in direct contradiction to the evidence produced, which-led to a
decision so contrary to the legitimate expectations of the people,
affords ground for apprehending that the decision has arisen from
that preponderating influence of which this Court before his
complained.
Resolved, That these and other Public-Abuses call loudly for
constitutional correction and redress, and evince the necessity of
a radical and speedy reform, as essenti.l to the safety and-security
of the just prerogative of the Crown as to the ancient and una-
lienable rights of the People.
Resolved, That the foregoing Resolutions be signed by the
Town Uerk, and published in the Morning and Evening Papers.

COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a special Court of Common Council
was held, for the purpose, as the Requisition stated,
of returning thanks to Mr. WARDLE, for his late
manly and independent conduct in Parliament, and
other matters.

The proceedings of the former Court having been i
read over, and a great deal of ordinary business dis- I
posed of, the requisition was read.
Deputy GOODBEHEAE said, that it was not neces-
sary for him to state that the question which lie was
about to submit to the Court was one of very great
importance. This was a point on which, extensively
promulgated as it was, there could be little difference
. .
of opinion. The late proceedings in Parliament had
deeply engaged the attention of every part of the ern-
pire. Since the Revolution, no decision had been
given in the House of Commons so important as the
fast. The Common Council of the City of London
had given many proofs that they were alive to the
interests of the country. They often assembled to
signalize the bravery and successes of various Corn-
smileless by land and by sea,and to pour out to them
the tribute of their thanks, in testimony of remark-
able services. This was a duty most congenial to
their feelings, and one which he was persuaded they
would discharge with equal alacrity and pleasure on
the present occasion, for on none was it better de-
served. No one could deny that Mr. Wardle had de-
serted well of his country. The services he had ren-
dered to it were far more extensive than any it could
derive from victories, however brilliant and decisive.
However great and glorious these might be,theywere
not attended with permanent benefits. There was
no time in which the bravery and talents of British
officers was more conspicuous than during the pre-
sent and late wars ; but unfortunately the-. e was none
in which the exertion of these qualities produced less
advantage to the country. We. had, it was true, glo-
rious successes to boast—but when we came to wind
tip our accounts, we found that there was an immense
loss of property, and often ut territory against us. It
might be worth while to consider to what this was
owing. If they would take the trouble to trace the
history of the last 50 years, they would find that some
secret influence always prevailed to trample down the
interests, and insult the feeling of the country—some
secret schemer always found means to thwart the views
of those who wished to recur to the genuine principles
of the Constitution. It was to this secret influence that
they owed the loss of America ; it was to this secret in-
fluence that the late and present war was to be attri-
buted. There was at one time a hope that this dan-
gerous and unconstitutional spirit would he destroy-
ed. A Combination of characters, among which were
many who were most respectable for talents and poli-
tical consideration, had met to form rules and regu-
lations for the conduct of the Government ; but un-
fortunately they sere soon drawn within the vortex
of the Court, and the plan was entirely frustrated.
The principle of secret influence outlived the attempt
to destroy it. Its operation became more powerful
than ever. This was soon seen. It joined with the
Continental Governments in the abominable plan of
destroying the liberties of the people every where.—
It succesded in preventing peace; for peace and tran- 1
quality are not the grounds on which corruption fat-'I
tens and reposes. This system attacks every branch
of the Government, and almost overpoises the liber-
ties of the people. When they find a man contending ;
against this system, and not only successfully strug-
gling with it, but carrying as it were victory in his i
hand, they could not appreciate his
.Services too
highly. It was this fatal influence that brought about
the union with Ireland—tlntt robbed that country of
her liberties, and tranplanted an hundred Members
into the Legislature, to give, perhaps, a death-blow
to the liberties of England. It would behove the
Meeting he had the honour of addressing, and the
whole Constituent Body of this part of the Empire,
to have their eye lipon a Legislature so consti-
tuted. He made these reflections because he loved
the Constitution, because he wished to support it and
live under it, Mr. Wardle, he conceived, was parti-
cularly entitled to the thanks of the Court, and in
short, of every person who wished well to the
Constitution. He came forward, not assisted by
any of the public servants, by those whose duty it
was to detect and prosecute peculation. Not one
of these lent him a hand— no, they all sided with the
pees it accused. In this situation was Mr. Wardle
placed, depending on and supported by nothing but
the goodness of csusen - In this lamentable situa.:
lion be had conducted himself with a perseverance, a

courage, and a zeal which had never been exceeded by
an?. of those brave men -whose .eminent services had
been the object of their t.)tarilcs and rewards. He
trusted that the country would Leap the adiantagres* of
the spirit excited by the 'eAttion of these admirable
qualities, and that they should not again see Parlia-
ment dissolved for the purpose of taking advantage
of the worst passions of the people. If, when ano-
ther election should take place, the people would re-
tain and give full effect to the -spirit that now pre-
vails, and which Mr. Wardle hadllie merit of have
ing first roused, the *courittt*nright yet be saved.— ,
Unless that spirit should continue to prevail, he much
feared we should be unable :1d stop the torrent that
was ready to overwhelm us. The Tyrant of Europe.
would be enabled to subdue us through the mediiim
of our vices. The salutary example established by
the conduct of one virtuous and resolute individual,
he trusted, would not be lost sight of—that it would
have its due effect both with the Government and the
people. He trusted that where charges *Were again
brought forward, no attempt would be made tOquasli
or divert them by such excuses as they lately heard.;
that they should hear nothing of rnaking certain al-
lowances in favour of distinguished rank, of conceding •
a little to dissipation. Having, he feared, trespdssed
too long upon the indulgence of the Court, he would •
now proceed to read the Resolutions he intended to.
propose. They were such as he trusted would meet.
the ideas of the Meeting. There were no means.more
effectual of communicating the sentiments Of the
people to the Legislature than by such declatialions
on such occasions. The example of, the
.Cquyt .9f
Common Council was looked up to by the tehole
country, and he trusted they would not forfei; 'the '
good opinion that was entertained of them, an the
great consideration in which their Proceedings,lin ac-
count of the superior means of information within.
their reach, were held. He trusted that on this, as on
every occasion, the good watchmen of the City of
London would do their duty, and that their rePotts
and vigilance may be the means of preserving the
liberties of the country. Mr. Goodbehere now read
his Resolutions, seven in number, and concluded with.
moving the first. -
Mr. MILLER seconded it in a short speech, in which
he was scarcely audible below the bar. He said that
the Thanks of the Court were particularly *due to
Mr. Wardle, and that it was to such nien as him,
and not the leaders of parties, by all of whom he was
deserted, that the country should look up. He insisted
on the necessity of a radical Reform in Parliament,
and urged, as an argument in support of it, that 92
Commoners and 17 Peers returned 368 Members of
the House of Commons. He recommended the ex.
ample of the virtuous electors of 'Westminster to the
rest of the constituent body of the Empire. It
had appeared that the Duke of York had thought
proper to discard Mrs. Clarke ; and it would be
also better for the country if he would also discard.
Mrs. Carey, as coeirrion report stated he- had done ;
but he (Mr. Millar)' understood, she • was only sent
out of the way; about ten miles from towni:a dis-
tance which might be exceedingly coneement for
la summer's excursion. This was surely a eirctim•-
stance which was much to be lamented, because frem.i
it the immorality of the Duke's conduct still appeared
to continue as before.
The question on the first Resolution .havitig been
put,
Mr. S. DIXON observed, that as far as expressing
thanks to Mr. Wardle, though there might. be some
'slight shade of difference, he was persuaded there.
! could be no material disagreement in opinion. Tnj
ithe Resolution which proposed that, he vas as willing I
to accede as any man, but he would not consent to
go farther. As little could he concur in some of the
observations of the Gentleman who brought.forward I
the motion. There was nothing new in them. They
were little more than the same dull tedious asseitions
or prophecies of the ruin of the country, that have
prevailed for many years. But, notwithstanding
these prophecies and assertions, the country ,was still
alive—still existed the envy and wonder of the world.,
As little could he adopt *the apprelienglon thk we
were to be conquered through the medium of our
vices. As Gon was his judge he believed:there was
Inot on the face of theglobe a people so truly virtuous
as that of this country. With respect to. Ireland, he
I was convinced that that country had already felt, and ,
would yet feel in a stronger degree, the advantages of
its connection with this country ; and they Who en-
deavoured to sow disunion between them could be
no friends to either. As far as the giving the Thanks
of the Court to Mr. Wardle, he trusted_ kt,hey would
be unanimous. He must, however, object to making
this a party question. He was sorry to see, on such
an occasion, a party spirit introducing itself into the
court, and a set of men endeavouring• to ride into
popularity upon the shoulders of Mr. Wardle. He
found himself obliged to reject that Resolution which
poriposed to give thanks to Lord Folkestone, Sir F.
Burdett, Mr. Whitbread, and others. There was
hardly one of these, with the exception of the Noble
Lord first mentioned, who displayed 'the least zetil
in support of Mr. Wardle. They must all reealect
the cold and cautious manner in, which, 11.4 nugioe
was seconded by Sir F. Burdett. There was also, an
Honourable Member in his eye (Alderman Conibe),
who from the part that he first took in this business
(he had no other guide than the newspapers) he really
believed was one of the most strenuous supporters of
the late Commander in Chief. He could not easily
forget the evidence which the worthy Alderman was
said to have given on that occasion—that he came
forward with an assertion directly opposite to that ofl
Mr. bowler, whom the worthy Alderman acknow-
ledged to be a most respectable person, and highly
deserving of credit. From all this he was induced to
believe that the worthy Alderman was quite on the
other side.

Deputy KEMBLE said, that in reference to the late
proceedings in Parliament, he must take that opporr
airy of expressing his indignation at the expression
attributed to an Honourable Member (Me. Yorke)
that thereeicisted a jacobinical conspiracy in this coun-
try. No combination or conspiracy of so abominable
a kind did exist. The country was never More i
or united than A this moment. He was ashamed to
see men of fortune of all parties grasping A -envy
thing they could catch. For himself, he loved his
King---he venerated. him—he would lay down his
life for him ! He also loved his country and the con-'
stitution, and would lay down his life in7support.and•!

scarcely leave a feather behind their. And by Whom
.would they in all probability be succeeded ?- , Why,
by some few.men of fortune and independence, and
by an immense number of hungry and destitUtelieo-
ple,—persons gaping for food, with empty bellies and
•empty pockets. What could the country gain by the
accession of men of this description to power ? He
hoped that every thing like party would be removed
from.this question. He conceived that the only oh.
,pct altheir meeting was to return thanks to Mr.
Wardle ; ' and in the propriety of conferring that dis-
tinction on that gentleman he most cordially concur-
red, and was therefore among the number of those
who signed the requisition. He did 'so with pleasure,
for he thought that the firmness and perseverance of
that Gentle Man deserved every honour that could be
conferred on them. He was deserted by every body,
and still he had the courage to goon. To be sure,
he afterwards received support, but little thanks were
ilue'tA those who gavelt. When certain Menibers-

hl its, but in ethers ; he. trusted they •skiSuldlie.)felto I
even in The City. With respect to the Indral.t4tin-
duct of the Duke of York, he would adinit that 'the
country had nothing to do with it so long as it was
removed from the public eye—but when Once' it Wa's '
broUght forward—when it was made prominent=
when it appeared that it was the chief source cfgrerl
abuses in a great branch of the public service; not to '
notice it was impossible. It was impossible not .to
notice the perversion of language with which that .fa-,
tal and immoral connection had been described.-La!
Mfs. Clarke was said to be under the protection of
the:Dtike of York. The protection !—How were i
plain men to understand this phrase ? would, they i
not say, •what a good man is this Duke of York— i
Only see, he has come, forward to assist some poor
widow, the deplorable relict of some worthy man,
with a houseful of children.—But the charity of his 1
Royal Highness, it appeared, was not of this pure.'
and disioterested nature, Ile hoped that this kind I
of misapplication ofwords would never descend &opt ;
the ranks of higher life to those of the ' Common I
Council, and that the only females to wham they •
should extend THEIR protection would be their wives.
He trusted that the lesson which was read to the
Duke of York would not be thrown away upon him,
that he would seriously endeavour to reform, that he
would lead a new-life; and that, forsaking his for-1
mer courses, he would ga home and make the poor
little Duchess as happy an:. comfortable as she de-4
served to be. He concluded with -cordially assent-
ing to the Resolution of Thanks to Mr. Wardle, i
and the honour by which it was proposed to accom-
pany it, and expressing his determination to oppose i
khe others. , ,
Mr. Alderman Comm: said, that it was neCeisarY
to clear himself from the imputation of having, acte4 ,
with duplicity. When the charges were first brought,,:
forward in Parliament, he. had the same feeling. an4l
'the same hope that many other Gentlemen entertaiit-d
ed, that the Duke of York would come out from the;
trial pure and unsullied.
.When, however, he had !
he. the evidence, it was impossible for him to shut
his ears against it, or against the conviction that k
produced. As to wh:it he had mentioned about Mr. ;
Dowler, he allowed that it was not the duty of that
Gentleman to tell him any thing about his private
. affairs, but having been told something that appear-,!
ed contrary to his public testimony, he. thought it Ile-
cessary to mention it.
i 'T • • :.
Mr. GRIFFITHS spoke a few words- in support of
the vote of thanks to his friend Sir Francis 'Bur-
dett. He knew him to be a good' father, a good
husband, and a worthy man , and that he had been
brought down to attend his duty in the House; al-
though he was at that time labouring under a severe
illness: ,

Sir C. PRICE thought that the first of the Resolu.l
tions was so self-evidently true, that there was no
voting against it. He took that opportunity of stab,
ing, that when on Saturday List he offered himself to
the Livery, in order to vindicate the vote he had
given, he could not obtain a hearing: It was the
first of April, mid he supposed the Livery meant to
make a fool of my Lord Mayor, or theilkßepresenta-
tives. (Murmur; of disapprobation.) He on that day
felt very anxious to, express his sentiments, especially.'
when that Gentleman, who was the leader of the.day
(Mr. Waiihman) facetiously introduced the story of
the ass and the lion. '(4 I laugh.) AlthOugh that
Gentleman came to the Hall, attended by: his myrmi-
don:— ( Loud tries of order, order.) • •
Mr. GRIFFITHS rose and said. -64 Although I sup-
ported Mr. Waithman's motion, I hope will not be
considered a myrmidon." (A loud laugh.) -
Sir C. PRICE* in continuation, said, he certainly did
not mean to describe that worthy Gentleman as a
myrmidon. What he had wished to state to the Livery
was, that he had given the evidence the most serious
attention that was in his power, and hardly ever
quitted the House of Commons during the seven long
nights that it was under investigation. After having
discharged his duty in paying the greatest attention
to the evidence, he felt himself in the situation, cf
brand Juror, and feeling himself in that situation, it
was the firm conviction of his mind that the Duke of
York was not guilty of either pirruptir, Ox wilfully
conniving at corruption. . this opinion hisiwo
col-
leagues coincided. At the same time he thought
that the Duke had been highly census, irt other
parts of his conduct, and thak Parli4FlFloo2t. to

Mr. WAITMIAN said, that although . a .
