THE virtues of PACKWOOD's STROPS

be counterfeited ; hut the following Miser-rations may lead to
detection, and discover the shopkeeper that will practisemich
a fraud.
Nov c.-011 all Pachwood'c Strops, made convex on the
back side, the leather is sewed up on the edge. to preserve
them in hot elintates or in damp weather; the counterfrits mar
be discovered by the leather being only stuck together with
a paste : also observe on Packwood's Strop. the last lite of
the red directions on the outside case ii, the Printer's name, ,
Jobe Abrahams, Printer, Ckment's-lane. those that work a
dess-plin on the Public in this way have not yet dared to add

JUBILEE.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

FaIDAY, SEPTET BER :3.

the present moment. Considering the trosiiial •
we had gained by our valour and exertions, and
our ski!l, and having looked at these things, they
would be bound to admit, that even in a mile.
(cry point of view, the present reign vriN equal
to any in our history. Impressed with these cir. •
cumstances, the worthy Bironet felt it his duty '
to stand forward, on the present occasion, to call
on the Court in which he was then speaking, the
first Corporation in the world, to manifest its joy
on the present occasion, and to convey to the
world au assurance that the Court felt it ought
to rejoice at the numerous blessings which ',is •
Majesty's subjects enjoyed under hit mild and be.
nevulent Government, and that the Court would
uphold a day of mirth and rejoicing. This was the
motive from which the present Requisition wad
signed by so many Members of the Corporation;
himself among them, a thing which he was very
unaccustomed to do—and the reason why he came
forward on the peesent occasion was, merely be. •
cause his name appeared first upon the list of those
who signed that Requisition ; and he came for.
ward with confidence, because he was conviucedt
that not only every Member of that Court, but
also every man in this country, would feel a dis.
position to gratify an amiable Sovereign, who wad
now adviticed in years, and that the more parti.
elderly, when the Court came to consider the con.
dition of the various other parts of the world-ee
the various States, by the negligence, the se.
pineness, and otherwise bad policy of whose
sovereigns, they were brought to ruin, a fatality
from which we had been saved by the wisdom of 100
our Monarch, who had never listened to those de.
lusive theories which had overturned so many
States, hut had proceeded steadily, and maintained
boldly, the principles of our most excellent Cott.
stitutiun, to which we owed our lihertVa, and all
the other blessings we enjoy. Our Monarch there.
fore reigned in the hearts of his subjects, whllo
other Princes had. forfeited the esteem of their's.
He therefore did not hesitate to' declare his coal
dente, that nut only the people of this emery;
but all the world, must admire our beloved So.
vereign ; and that the People of this Realm would - . •
be forward to testify that feeling towards their
Monarch, although he felt that they had been
obliged to sudersonse pnvations, for the Support
of their independence as a people, for they felt
that they still enjoyed the blessings of their Con.
stitution. These, the worthy Alderman said, Were
the sentiments which occurred to him to submit,
on the present occasion, to the Court; which-he
hoped would give him credit for not coming for.
ward in this matter from any views of party polf.
ties. He did not care a farthing who was in,
or who was out. He cared nothing for party ;
therefore he assured the Court, upon his ho.
nour, it was net from party motives that
he obtruded himself on this occasion—he was
actuated by the sense he entertained of a duty—a
bounden duty, to take the part he was now taking,
and which was indeed a considerable gratification
to his own feelings, although he wit aware that
other Members of that Court might do the sub.
ject more justice, for their talents were superior
to his. Rut he took this part; because his name
appeared first upon the list of the Requisition.
lie trusted, therefore, that rho great body of the
people of this country, -would celebrate the day
which he had already mentioned, the 25th of Oct.
when his Majesty shall have arrived at the com.
menceinent of the bOth year of his reign. He
therefore moved—
That this Court will celebrate the apprsachiwg Annie's.
sary of his Majesty's Accesiao so the Throne of this King.
dna), on the 25th of October next, being the day Gs which
his Majesty shall maer on the 50th ye 1r of his reins.
Ile should afterwards move, if this should be
carried, as he hoped it would, unani nously, that
it be referred to the Aldermen of each Ward, or
those now present, and a Committee of Com.
moners

Yesterday was held, pursaant to advertisement,
a Court of Common Council, convened' in conse.
queliee of a requisition to the LORD MAYOR for
that purpose, to take into consideration the pro.
prietle of celebrating in a particular sassoner the
25th of October next, being the day on which his
Majesty IL ing Geonoe the Tin RD will enter upon
the 50th year of his reign.
Some previous formal matter being disposed of,
and the Requisition, together with the signatures
to it, being read,
Alderman Sir WM. cuans said, he hoped to
obtain the unanimous sentiment of the most re-
spectable Court which he had now the honour of
addressing, on the subject to %%loch it had been
summoned to attend this day, which was that of
celebrating the commencenieut of the Anniversary
of the 50th I'msr of the Reign of our Sovereign
Lord the King; a day, which the people of Etig.
laud would look upon with veneration. lle was
sure there was not one individual, be his politics
what they may, Whig Of Tory, who would not
cordially say, that his Majesty, King George the
Third, has reigned over this kingdom, equal, and
he might almost say, superior to any King that
ever sat en the Throne of this Realm. His
Majesty bad nor only done that, but the length rif•
his reign had been exceeded but by very few Mo-
narchs, and the length of time during which hi;
Majesty had reigned over his people, and the be-
nignity *WI which he hail reigned, was gratifying
to the people, who ought to make it so to their
Sovereign, by the expression of the sentiment
which they felt towards him...-Having reigned
over his people so many years, with so much just-
ness and mildness, they ought now to express to.
wards him, their good disposition. One of the
reigns to which he had alluded was that of 'levee
111. called the Great ; a Monarch under whom this
country, by its arms, achieved groat conquests, and
by whom the most beneficial laws were projected,
the salutary effects of w hichwerestated by Historians
to be marked by particular satisfaction; but still, it
was no compliment to our Sovereign, now on the
Throne ; to say that his Majesty had administered
those antral! the other laws of the realm, with
honour to himself, and security to his people; all
which was a becoming theme for praise; nor was
it improper to specify some of the laws which
give such peculiar eminence to the present reign.
—The first was that which made the Judge: in.
dependent...an act worthy of an illustrious Prince,
and the principle.of which ficiwed from him spon-
taneously. Nor WAS this all, for every body
knew, from the History of the Day, and parti-
cularly from that pact of it which related
to John Wilkes, and the contest in whiih
he was engaged, his Majesty pot an end to
general warrants. This might be called so
Act of Grace, and worthy of our King.—
But to take a view of the reign of the great King
Henry, as he had said—there was in it nothing
that had not been equalled in the present reign—
Not even the Battle of Cressy could be called
superior to the achievenients of the present.—
Those, if any, who doubt it, would du well to
took at what we had achieved at Egypt—.speck
fleshly at Acre, with an handful of men; at the
Battle of the Nile • of Corsperdoten; of Cape
Saint Vincent ; of 71, afalgarl of a multitude of

with great attention, he had heard nothing like
it from the Worthy Baronet who brought forward
the motion. Ile was perfectly sensible of the

alikward siteatioir in which a man was placed,
who offered any thing like opposition to a motion
of the nature now propoded ; be knew that his

wh'irh, he certainly should perform his duty, by .
declaring the reasons which prevented him giving
his concurrence to the motion. He had long ob-
