The Statesman.
London, England, 1810-11-01 00:00:00

the country had been materially augmeffird,ancrthat
the glory of the British navy had been raised to au
eminence, transcending all praise, and defying all
coin petition. But these were more to be attri-
.buted to the spirit, energy, and perseverance of the
country itself, than to the wisdom of any plan
formed, and pursued by Administration. The wor-
thy Gentleman had attempted to prove the prospe-
rity 01 the country by these standards :--Ist. The
iperease of military strength ; 2dly, The increase
or wealth; and 3diy, The increase of population.
Ile mould undertake to say, that the first las alto.
gather falacious ; for if military strength were to be
taken as a criterion of a nation's prosperity, was
not Ibis coantry far lithind France? Besides, the
increucof military strength in a free country like
thii, was rattier a proof of its decline, than of its
ateztnenting prosperity. IVith respect to increased
wealth,, he should merely observe that the valuation
of exports was no standard ; fur in consequence of
the .increased value of money, the quantities ex-
ported now were represented by sums nominally
greater, though in reality less, uu a comparative
'miles then:they, .wero4wfmsAy, fifteeo, ten, or, fire
years back." Mr. Quin concluded by calling the
attention of theo.;ourt to the distressed state of. the
manufactures and commerce of the Country—to its
wants and privations in its colonial possessions in the
West and last Indies—to the bigotted and selfish
system which prevented the Catholics of Ireland
from identifying themselves with the best and per-
manent interests of the Empire; and he exnressast
his fervent wish, that the special pleading, low
tripe, and paltry jobbing which debase the present
men in power, would be shortly superseded by the
'mime of real latent, hottuur, and integrity, that
were now so shamefully suffered to linger in the oh-
seurity or private life. .Ilis object was unanimity ;
and he trusted his worthy friend would withdraw his
iteseistiek, rod accede to an Amendment which he
Medi to propose—
" That a Bast of our most excellent Sovereign, George 111.
be placed id the Council Chamber of this City, as a grateful
testimony to descend to the latest posterity, of the ith.;l) seise
this Court entertains of his amiable and endearing qualities, his
:imuserous and exemplary virtues, and his paternal 'void fur
,the happiness and glory of his people.'
.lie wished it the more, as he was
.convinced that the
melancholy situation to which.his Majesty was at
present reduced, afforded a further signal proof of
his eminent detuestic _virtues ; caused, as it was,
by his feelings and sympathy fur the distressed,'
egoniting, and almost hopeless state, of a beloved
daughter.
Mr. SA$v;L Dixon' concurred most I-artily in
She A.fisendietait proposed by Mr. Quin, and begged
ilia friend, Mr. Jacks, to, withdraw his Resolution,
All uo political allusion ought that day to interrupt,
the coincidence- of public opinion.
Mr. WAITISMAN also supported the amendment,
and. complimented Mr. Quin on the comprehensive
and constitutional view he had taken of the subject.
Ile would allow no milli to -exceed himself in his
affection for a truly venerable and beloved Sove-
reign, and he earnestly called open the Court fur
unanimity.
Sir WM. Collets, after a warm panegyric on the
virtues of his Sovereign, moved as an Amendment,
that the word 46 statue" be substituted for " bust."
Several remarks were made in support of Mr.
Quin's amendment, anti Sir Was. Curtiss sabstitu-
Sion of a statue in place of a bust, by Mr. liembie.
Mr. W. livroaTE said, he took the Opportunity
of expressing Vert' briefly ids' Witty ;Concurrence
in the Amendment of the aVoVthi ilarinet. The
rprilitinvi, 'in his. dphiltoti, was not, whither this, or
thit bust *Ali well or ill executed, but • whithet
bust wag such an expression of the grlttefel
of the Court towards a venerable'andrespedted
'erste as became the dignity, the and the
Imignificence of the first Corporation "in the £m.
wire. Surely the Conte would make as • dia.
thirtidn hi the inotlo 'of testifying that icspect
between the Sovereign and, Individuals, who
were subjects, however eels bialed or illuatriotes....
There was one tralt-lik his Majesty's character'
which he wished had' been noticed, because it was
tine which more than any other endeared his Majesty
to his people—he meatit his unshaken attachment
to the great principles of religious liberty, and of
the Act of Toleration. In his reign there had been
no attempts to trample upon freedom of consci-
eine, whoever had been the Ministers and whatever
advice they might have given. lie thought it pent-
liarly necessary, that his Majesty should feel that
he had not more loyal anti faithful subjects than the
defendants and folitowers of those illustrious
Whigs, whose principles of civil and religious frees
dam seated, and had since maintained, his Majesty's
family -treaties throne of these kingdoms.
Mr. Quirt then moved that a Committee, con-
sisting of all the Aldermen present, and a Member
representing each ward, bet appointed to take the
resolution as amended into consideration, and re-
port their proceedings to the Court. Unanimously
agreed to.
Mr. Edward Pearkes was elected Collector of
Smithfield Market, in the room of Mr. Tuckey,
deceased ; and Mr. Richard Freeman was elected a
Collector of Fleet Market in the rOciat of Mr.
Pearkes, deceased.

OLD BAILEE

vs. geisions commenced yesterday before Lord
EiLisiaostoowt, Brun Timmetc, and Mr. ins.
Hen LAWRENCE. .
Roberts, Foulkard, and Aris, whose case bet
excited so much curiosity in the public mind, were
then brought up; but on the motion of Mr. Our.
ney, their Counsel, their !trial .was postponed to
next Sessions. .

Messrs. Aris and Foulkard were suffered to Ifts
a. large on their own recognizances of 1001. each.
Roberts was remanded to prison.
Hepburn and White, the' two wretches standing
indicted for a certain nameless offence, 'whose trial
was postponed at the last Sessions, in consequence
of an affidavit having been put in by Hepburn, stat-
ing that he could not go to trial with safety to his
life, during the absence of • witness then in Porta.
gal, were yesterday again pat to bar, when Ilep.
tiara tendered another affidavit, respecting that he
had applied to the War-Office, requesting that di.
rections might be sent out to Portugal, for the
person to whom he alluded in' ids former affidavit,
who was a drummer, to be tont.honst; In answer
to which application, he was infortned, that Gu.
'eminent could not comply with his wishes, unless
a specific order was given from the Judges for that
purpose. He was, therefore, under the same Op.
prehensinns as before, and prayed the indulgent.
of the Court.

• Lord ELLENDOROUGII said, that the persons (hi
the War-Office were mistaken in their opinion nein
the practice in such cases. The Judges were aot.lo
the habit of issuing any such orders. But as ttdi
1 mistake did not originate on the port of the Prisoner,
his Lordship did not think it fair that he should, be
1 the sufferer ; ho ,therefore directed, that his triNl
should be postponed until nest Sessions, expressing
1 a wish that in the. interim Government would fur-
ther the ends of justice.
White expressed a desire to take his trial then ;
but his Counsel advised him to let it stand over until.
1 next Sessions.

Lord ELLENBOROUGII observed, that if
the Pri.;
soncr was desirous of being tried then, be should
have justice.
White, however, followed the advice of _his
Counsel.

John Fruin was tried, on a capital indietmento
charging.him with stealing a black mare, the pro.-
perty of Thomas Ridden, maltstcr, at Newington)
near Blythe, Keat.
' • It appeared, hoot the evidence brought forward
to substantiate this case, that the mare in question
was stolen from the field of the Prosecutor on the
:night of the 13th of September, and vas found in
the Prisoner's possession two days afterwards in
Shoreditch. On being detected, he jumped oil the'
horse he was riding, and ran away, but was • pur.
sued,' overtaken, and secured.
An attempt was made by the Prisoner to peeve
an alibi, but it failed, and he was found—Guilty,
Death.
COI:4117W.
William Belt and four other persons were charg-
ed with coining'; but after a hearing that occupied
nearly the whifle day; they were all acquitted.
Delt was again put to the Bar on a charge of
haying ill his possession a press and other imple-
ments fot coining, and was, upon the clearest tali.
motl, -found Guilty—Death. .
