This action was brought by an Attorney at Read.
ing, against the Sheriff of Berks, to recover damages
for loss sustained by the Under Sheriff not being its
his office to make out a warrant for the arrest of a
Person named Field. The latter was-indebted to
the plaintiff; and the officer being sent to procure'
the writ of capias duly made out, fot the purpose of
arresting him, neither the Under Sheriff nor his
clerk were in the office. The officer was, .conse•
quently, obliged to go to Reading from Maidenhead
without the process, and it was alleged that the cir-
cumstance enabled Field to avoid being taken,
Verdict for plaintiff—Damages one shilling. •

Bt•Annnew's DAY.--Holid9, at the Bank.

THE FUNDS.
This jay is a holiday at the Bank, but the Stock
Exchange is open, and a good deal of business
doing. The Market left off brisk. yesterday, and
has commenced to. day the same, Consols for Money
being 69A ; for the Opg. in Jan. 701/8. Nest Tuesday
Consols close, consequently the only Stock to job in
will be the Reduced. The West End club have
taken advantage of this circumstance, and, it is said,
have swept two millions of that Stock off the Market :
this will create a great scarcity, should they be able
to keep it out of the Market.

We have given so many additional particulars of
the procession of the QUEEN to St. Paul's in another
part of our Piper this day, that we shall not detain
our Readers long with remarks in this place. To the
high grati7i.co.:ion of the Milan Prophets, who had
prognosticated nothing but " confusion and blond-
sher from the visit of her MAJEsry to the Metropo-
litan Church, they found that their fears were hap-
rily disappointed. The conduct of the population of
London yesterday, gave a direct contradiction to all
the calumnies with which it has been fashionable to
load them. But then, w^ must observe, there were
no military " assisting the Civil Power" in maintain-
ing public tranquillity, as has but too often been the
practice of late years. The proceedings of yester-
day afford abundant evidence that the people, when
left to themselves, are never riotous.
The multitude assembled yesterday was immense ;
perhaps the same number of people never was before
brought together either in this or any other city.
Had such a multitude been mischievously disposed,
no precautions which could have been taken would
have been able to restrain them. But the people na-
turally abhor violence and disorder, and this they have
shewn on all occasions when they have not been inter-
fet-ed with. But those who are eager for a pretext for
the employment of a military force on all occasions,
wish to have it believed that the people are totally
incapable of self-government, and inclined to avail
themselves of every opportunity for the commission
of disorder, though the people themselves have the
strongest interest in the maintenance of good order.
Everything yesterday was the effect of free-will;
nay, it was the effect of firm and constant love, act-
ing in defiance of threats, in mockery of the dentin-
ciations of power, and even the predictions of danger.
Myriads upon myriads deserted the labours of the
day, upon which the bread of the morrow may de-
pend, only to be eye-witnesses of the grateful spec-
tacle. The actors, too—scarcely less numerous than
the spectators—bore all the expenses of their own
esliibition. There were no Lord Chamberlains yes-.
terday discharging their Stipendiary duties with
affected gravity and re.il impatience: no Chief-
Butlers, or hereditary Champions, preferring their
claims for golden cups or golden spurs ! That
mighty and -well-ornamented cavalcade, which the
-City and People beheld yesterday with pride and
astonishment, was the genuine result of disinterested
feeling, and of that innate love of impartial justice,
and hatred of conspiracy, which we hope will long
-characterise our countrymen.

Ministers, it is reported, have great hopes that the
difficulty of finding others to fill their places, 'will
secure to them a new lease of their places. A short
time may, perhaps, shew their hopes to be delu-
sive; for no free government can carry on the
public business with advantage to the nation, with-
out enjoying tte confidence of the people. Of
one thing they may rest assured, namely, that
their language respecting the QUEEN and those by
whom her MAJESTY has been protected, must be
more measured than it has been. Englishmen must
not have their ears insulted with lamentations." that
the QUEEN should have lent herself to a vile and
contemptiblefaction, who seek to overthrow our Con-
stitution, that they may profit by anarchy and the tri-
umph of villainy." The People of England are not to
be called " ratble"—" a Tile faction!" No whole
people can be a faction. A vile faction may endea-
vow to counteract the public will, but vox Poptdi,
1797. Dsz!
