PRESIINTATION OF TAB FRESDOY
THE CITY OF LONDON.
In our paper of Friday last we noticed the PEISII6-
tatioe of the Freedom of the City of *rondos intjar.
Hume, en the preceding day. The press 'neater
matter having prevented us then giving" the address
of .thanks which Mr. Hume delivered or the nearside,
we now embrace the opportunity of inserting it, as
follows :
I can with great sincerity, assure you, that I reallee
this mark of your approbation of my conduct in Parka-
went. with heartfelt satistaetioe; that it is most gratify-
ing to my feelipgs to find that my humble exerfiens in
the service of our country have been so favourably appre-
ciated by the first Bodv in the kingdom ; at the same
time that I cannot but *be conscious that your kin l.'sa
has greatly over-valued my humble services. Sent to
the House of Commons as the independent Representa-
tive of independent Constituents, I felt that I alsorld de-
sert my duty, if I did not endeavour to call the attention
of the public to what I must consider one' of the chief
of the public distress. And, Omagh the task
might be difficult, yet I never considered it hopeless; bat
felt that it was the duty of every man, however haled..
to use his best endeavours in a cause so Isitreourable.—
every man must feel that under our Constitution,
clogged as it may be in its power of producing happi-
ness, yet many blessings are enjoyed; but this can for-
Dish no good reason why the impediments to a move
perfect state of things should not be removed. In these
sentiments, Mr. Hem* said, he appealed to all who heard
him, whether he had attempted to do more than his duty.
by endeavouring to reduce the excessive expenditure of
the Government, which, whenever it was more than we.

and was distinguished amongst the nations of the earth
for the good faith as well as the commercial greatne-s
of its people. In this great city it was well known that
the most extensive transactions were daily carried on by
verbal agreements, without a fear or cause to fear. The
resourcesof the country are also ample, if well applied,
and it was his object to lay before the people the state of
the country, as far as the revenue and expenditure were
concerned, by statements of facts not to be contradicted;
and the declarations of approbation he had received
from many portions of bin countrymen convinced him that
his endeavours had not been without effect, sad that Om
best results might he expected. And if he wanted any
additional incentive to persevere in the same course, ill
honour that day conferred on him would supply it. Mr.
Hume concluded by repeating his thanks for the hign
honour the Corporition had conferred on
Mr. Hume's address was heard with the deepest atten-
tion, the Members all standing, and on his concluding,
there was an uni I burst of applause, which cons in
for an unusual length of time. As soon as the tumult
of applause had in same degree subsided, Mr. Hume re-
tired, attended by Mr. Pavel!, Alderman Waithman, and
several other Members of the Court. All the M-mhers
continued standing, and testified their approbation by
continued clapping of hands. The instant Mr Hume
left the Council Chamber, and could be seen by the mul-
titude who w-•re assembled in the Hall, be was hailed
with the loudest shoots of applause.
