try at large.
'f he question for receiving the Report was thee put
and carried.

Mr. S. Ihxor immediately rase and insisted on his
right to speak to the motion.
Mr. Fay's"... called him to order,
Mr. Dtxote insisted on his right to meals. I •
Some confusion ensued, whew the Loan Tots
tided that Mr. Dixon had go right to address the Used
on a motion which had been previously decided.
Mr. Faciw next addressed the Coart. He said that
it woeld be impassible for the Corporation to let the
Report and the Evidence upon which it was founded,
remaia a dead letter; having taken up the subject, it
was their duty to proceed; it was also, he trusted, their
incliaatieu, because, if ever there was a subject which
demanded inquiry, which in a peculiar manner walled
for the interference of the Corporatioa of loroilon—W
was were their Sheriff wa•instsited,end• his life pet at
hazard by 'military violence, whilst be, in ezerelso
of his high duty, was exerting himself 4o reserve the
public peace. Mr. Favell conchnied by moving a Reso-
lution founded on the Repent (for which see Advertise-
ment.)

Ur. linos said that his anainns wish was, that the
business ahouM go before the Home of Commons, ha
cause in that House both sides would receive abetting;
in their-mut of Common Conseil certainly there was a
disposition only to bear one eide--(Crfes of No, no.)—
He believed that the Worthy Sheriff(Waithasan) meant
well ; bat he could not help thinking that it wenld have
been more wise, more becoming if that lientlenros load
in the first instance takes some pains to prevent the
funeral procession of Honey and Francis; for if ever a
procession had been conducted with improperty, it cer-
tainly was that funeral. For what gnod motive could
Hammersmith have hero selected? The deceased had
not been residents of that else.; they bail no connec-
tions there, and yet their bodies were taken to that pines
with all the mats of triumph. He did oat mean to say
that the Sheriff encouraged that procession, bat whoever
promoted it, meld not have been actuated by mo-
tives. The Salshatlo, too, above all days in t • er,eadt,
ltipohad been selected—selected Isoweuld say, for ta
namely, because the people were on that day nneeleployed
and abroad. lie concluded by expressing a hope that
the petition, rentonstrat.ce, representation, or whatever
it may be, should be carried to she House of Cann:ens.
Mr. Cocaan objected to the words of tee Resolution,
which stated that the Sheriff was in dancer of assassi-
nation. He said that the evidence did sot warrant
the use of so strong an assertion. Mr. Cocker then
referred to parts of the evidence of Mr. R. Wools and
Mr. Teas, in order to *appall his position. Ile con-
cluded by expressing a wish that the subject sight be
disenssed in Parliament. where alone as Inquiry would
.
give satisfaction to the country. I 1
Mr. Hyacinthe: complained, that the hat speaker bad
omitted parts of the evidence which, if he had read,
would have been teal to his argument. He (Mr. Hun
consbe) amid not help thinking that the intention was
to murder the Sheriff—certainly such an opinion and
borne oat by the evidence. After reading several we.'
tracts from the Minutes, Mr. liaresodse b,l
censoring the coadoetof the Oaser in comma ad'
murder unfortunately ensued, that gentleman would
bare been responsible for it; for he armrest his Wan 1
to go at large and attack an caused people. _
Mr. OALLOWAT said, it was exlraoediaary to
with what patience, be was going to say with '
utilities, a certain party received accounts of military
violence—that party, clamorous sometimes about the
public peace, remained silent and satisfied when the via
lators of the public peace appeared to weer red coats.
lie contended that the whole of the Report, and the
evidence upon which it was fonadett. supported the
opinion that the Sberiffstood is actual danger of baying
been assassinated. Of the conduct of that Worthy Gen-
tleman it was impossible to speak in terms of ton mach
praise. He displayed upon that frightful dsy as mach pa-
tienceas he did judgment—as much humanity as he did
bravery. To Writhe thanks of the country were eminently
due, for it was sot too much to say, that if it were not
for his exertions, for his courage, the blood of the citi-
zens might have again stained the arms of the military
—scenes might have taken place calamitous to England.
From what had taken place within the last two or three
rears, he (Mr. ()allow's-) could not help thinking that
if the Corporation failid to express loudly their indig- 1
nation at military encroachments—their abhorrence of
military outrage—they, in common with the people at
large, would have bitter reason to lamest their se-
pineness.
After a few words from Mr. PITICII and Mr. PATTiII.
the Resolution was agreed to without a division. Shortly
after which the Conrt adjourned.

strong were the reasons for this motion, that the anal
sliposten of Ministers had nothing they could ven-
ter, to urge. They affected, indeed, to be pleased,
that the subject should be submitted to " the wisdom
of Parliament." Perhaps there they flattered them-
selves that their opponents might again eaperience a
defeat: but we hope better thisgs, for we perceive old
English feelings and opinions an returniag.
