dm••=ms••••=10
Saturday last, thi Right Hon. GEORGE eANNtNO9
with Lord GRENVILLE LEVESON Goiwza, the Hon.
CHARLES BAOOT' ' HENRY BANEES Esq. M. P. and
CHARLEL ELus, Esq. M. P. met "the Committee of
the Corporation of London, at Guildhall, and attended,
with them, the opening of the Monument erected to
the memory of the late Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT.
The Hall was much erowded, not only from the notice
Which had been given of the opening of the Monu-
ment, but froin the great number of persons atten-
ding the Commissitmers of Bankrupts ; and when
the temporaiy coveting of the Monument was
lowered, so as to admit the head of Mr: PITT to be
seen, a seeming anxiety was spread over the whole
Hall, and the utmost silence prevaled ; but when
the coveritlio was entirely removed, and the whole
Monument was displayed, one general acclamation of
applause burst forth.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONUMENT.

The massy substance on which the figures in this conipositlon
are placed, is intended to represent the Island of Great Britain
and the surrounding waves. On an elevation, in the centre of
the island, Mr. PITT appears in his robe's, as Chancellor of the
Exchequer; in the attitua of a public orator. Below him, on
an intermediate fore-ground, two statues characterize his abili-
ties; while, with the national energy, which is embodied, and
riding on a symbol of the ocean in the Imps centre they assist
to describe allusively the effects of his Administration. Apollo
stands on his right, itnpersonating eloquence aid learning. Mer-
cury is introduced on his left, as the representative of commerce
and the patron of policy. To describe the unprecedented splen-
dour of success which at:netted the British Navy while Mr. PITT
was Minister, the lower part of the Monument is occupied by a
statue of Britannia, seated triumphantly on a sea-horse; in her
left hand is the usual emblem of naval power : and her right
grasps a thunder-bolt, which she is prepared to hurl at the ene-
mies of her country.

INSCRIPTION
WRITTIN IT THE MONT HON. o,* CANNING. t
WILLIAM PITT,

Son of WILLIAM 1'; TT, Earl of Otis-ilia at,
Inheriting the genius mid formed by the precept's of his Father,
ilknrott d himself from his early years to the service
of the Suite, _ _

Called to the chief conduct of the Administration, after the close
of a disastrous war,'

He repaired the exhausted Revenues, he revived and invigorated
the Conimerce add Prosperit)•"of the.Couutry ;
And he had re—established the Public Credit on deep and
mire foutulations;
When a new war was kindled in Euro2e, more formidable than any
rreceding war from the peculiar charactjr of its dangers.
To resist the arms of Prance, which were directed against the
Independence of eve! y Governmeht and people ;
To animate other Nations by the examp:e of Great Britain •
To check the coutagiun of opinion:. wnic.i tended to dissolve the
frame k)f Civil Slciety ;
_ _

To afray the loyal, the ohe:-ni.14,:i1, and the pod, in defence of
the venerable Constitu:iGn of the lidti:;2l Monarchy,
Were the duties at that ayftl crisis, d.volvtAl upon
the Er:tish Minister •
And which•he discharged M.% trauscyncleut zeal, intrepidity,
slid perseverance

He Upheld the National Honour abroad; Itelni'atained it home
the blessings of Order and of tote Liberty;
and, in the midst of difficultlesand per's,.
. .

He united and consolidated the strength, power, and resources
of the Empire.
For these high purposes,
He was gifted by DIVINE PIRAIDENCE with endowments,
Rare in their separate excellaice, wondert ill in their combination
Judgment; imagination; memory; wit; force and itElltElltbS
of reasoning;

Eloquence, copious and aecurate, commanding and persuasive,
And suited from its splendour to the dignity of his mind and to
the authority of hia station;
A lofty spirit; a mild and ingenuous temper.
_ . • ..

Warm and stvediast in friendship, towards esetults he was
forbearing and turgiv ng.
His industry was not rtlaxed by confidence in his great abilities.
His indulgence to others was not abated by the cousciousnes:i of
his own supyriority.
His ambition was pure from all selfish motivts:
The love of power and the passion for fame were m him
subt.r.ll.ate to views of public utility:

Dispensing for near twenty years the favours of the Crown,
Fie lived w:thout ostentation ; an 3 he died poor.
A GRA I'FFUL NAI•ION
Decreed to him those funeral honours
Which are roan/id :or eminent and extraordinary men.
'1 MONUI4IENT

Is erected by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council,
l'o record the reverend and atectionate regret
Wien which the City of London cherishes his memory;
lad to hold out to the imitaton of posterity
Tht.se principles of public and private virtue,
Which ensure to rations a solid gratness,
And to individuals an imperishable canto.

Mr. CANNING, Lord G. L.GowEn, the Hon. C.
BAGwr, Mr. BANKS, and Mr. ELLIS, with WILLIAM
Humus:sow, Esq. M. P. and 11 OBERT PERO? Smut,
Esq. afterwards partook of an elegant entertainment,
provided by the order of the Committee, at the Al-
bion Tavern, in Aldersgate-street, Mr. Alderman
Bina in the Chair.

A FINANCE QUESTION.-If in Ten Lottery Tickets
one of them is entitled to a Capital Pr:ze, is the first
or t.rt choke the best ? Answer—The first choice,
for it is morally certain the Prie.t. is then among the
Tickets, but in waiting for the last choice, the odds
arc nine to one that it is sold. A volume of rea•
soning czinot more clearly evince the advantage
of an early purchase, particularly in the present State
Lottery, of more Prizes than Blanks, besides all the
Capitals. The Drawing begins the 6th of May, on
which day every Ticket drawn Will be a Pi ize !
Bow-sTBEET.—R. Brady, alias Oxford Bob, has un-;
du one several examinations on a charge of robbing
the Portsmouth mail. The circumstances discoverer,
with respect to that robbery, promise to lead to the
detection of the offenders. Brady and another, of the
name of Stanley, remain in custody.
COURT OF CI, A:wet:V.—On Saturday, in the case
of WATERS TAYLOR, Mr. HART stated, that the
order of the Lord Chancellor had been eluded, and
the money received at the doors was placed by the
receivers in the iron chest, by which means it still
came into the hands of Mr. Taylor; the Loan CH AN.
CELLOR, therefore, ordered that an attachment should
be served personally on Mr. Taylor, and every one of
the receivers, when he would issue such an order as
could neither be resisted nor eluded. _ _

At Bury Assize Ann Arnold was found guilty of
causing the death of her male bastard child, by
throw lug it into a pond in Spexhall, received sentence
of death, andi;rdered to be executed there this day.
BoxEns.—Besides the great fight on the 2,1 of
April betwixt Molineux and Carter, that betwixt Jay
and Fuller is finally ratified, and will take place Ln
the 6;h.

A few evenings since the Lynn coach, in return-
ing from Peterborough, was overturned on a bank,
and the coachman had both his legs broken.
'1 hurs.lay morning the ostler at the George Inn, at
Grano!am, received a kick from a hone, which
caused his death is a few momeats.
