lion m.de to Mr. CANNINO,- to offer himself *gale
for Liverpool in case of a dissolution of Patliar
intimates with great navels!, that Mr. CANNING
fess the honour on Liverpool in condescending'
present that borough ; nut that he receives it
ing the object of the electors' choice. Than
the Courier :—" The really free and independest
electors of Liverpool Moe solicited the honour et
being again represented by Mr. CANNING, in the
event of a dissolution of Parliament!" Liverpool,
therefore, which " was not born reit, and has not
greatness thrust upon it," may be said to have
achieved greatness, if it gets Mr.CANNING for ite
iie-
presentative. But the University of Word, to his
great discomposure, would net accept the Right
Honourable Gentleman, whose services are said to
shed a lustre on poor Liverpool.
MR. VANSITTART VERSUS THE JORNERIL—The
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER says, that hisscheres
of Finance would have succeeded but for the artifices
of the Jobbers. "All the imp,. tments might be traced
to the machinations of that class of men." Noe if
ever there was a person who more than another
countenanced and nursed jobbing, it is the pretest
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Without having
any intercourse with the Stock Exchange, we may es-
quire, as mere observers, hew the fact stands. Was
it the Stock Exchange that lowered the Funds in Nu-
'ember and December last fromB4 to 78, or the CHAP
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S own party, who pow
seised the early knowledge of his intentions? And
has he not now set all the Jobbers at work, in conse-
quence of a scheme which favours jobbing-oaq, pro.
11 motes and directly leads to it ? For it may he short-
ly said clearly stated, that instead of chasing sway
the temptation to gambling, he has let loose the Bear*,
and given them food and strength with which to beg
and squeeze the Bulls—or, in other words, with
width to play against the Fonds. lie hos Oung into
the market above sixty-five millions of light scrip,
with which the Jobbers have to speculate against the
real buyers, which may be made evident to the
meanest capacity by the following statement :
The gratuity of 9 per Cent. Consols to be turned
14110 a se per Cent. *sock, will create
of light Molting scrip, as only 10 per Cent. are to
he paid on it t and
11;u-broiler Hullo, to be funded In Console and Re-
(laced, will create
63,000,0 0
All light scrip, as the final payments are not to let
made till February nest ; and yet he talks of bis
schemes being defeated by Stock Jobbers !
Yesterday a Meeting was held at the Freemsson%.
Tavern, for the purpose of raising a subscription
in
aid of the National Schools. The Duke of Yoga
was in the Chair. There. were present the Arch-
bishop a CArivzitaune, the Bisnop of Loonoes
Lord HAtteowey, Lord KENYON, Lord BROWN*
LOW, Sir T. Acwoiss, Mr. Wizszaeozcz, &c. A
subscription having been opened, the Duke of Yoes
said, he had been commanded by the
,PRINCE
CENT to put down his Royal Highness's 'lame for
5001. and her MAJESTY for 5001. The Duke of
YORK subscribed 100 guineas, the Archbishop or
CANTERIIURY, 1001. &C. &C.
