portunity of returning his fincere thanks to thofe acting Magiftrates in, the country, who have from time to time favoured bim with their correspondence, on their committing of fufpicious perfons; and alfo, for their affiftance in making inquiries after perfons fled from London to efcape juftice; and does affure them, a that this plan has been the means of bringing many notorious offenders to condign punishment: and as the difficul. ties of efcaping are much increased by this reciprocal correfpondence, it is hoped that it has already deterred fome, and will in the end deter many from becoming offenders; a circumftance most devoutly to be wished for: And if the civil power does continue to act with spirit and vigour from the centre to the extremes, and from the extremes back to the centre again, this happy prevention must be obtained; for in process of time, it-muft be impracticable for any offender to escape juftice; which will constitute a police quite confiftent with, and agreeable to the dignity of the English conftitution, as it is nothing more than animating and keeping alive that great fecurity of our lives, liberties, and properties, the civil power, in all its parts. The letters fent by Sir John Fielding to the Magiftrates in the country, either in anfwer to them, or to defire them to make inquiries, are either franked or paid for; and all ins quiries defired to be made in London by the Magiftrates in the country, are, if poffible, executed within twenty four hours, always without expence to them, and the letters anfwered by return of poft, or, if necessary, fent by exprefs.

P. S. If any letter is omitted being anfwered longer than fhould appear ne. ceflary, it is to be hoped that the Magiftrates will write again, as from the multiplicity of business, a letter may be miflaid; and as inquiries in London, in confequence of this correfpondence, have been remarkably useful, 'tis to be withed, that the Magiftrates, in their examinations in the country, would be particularly attentive to the lodgings and connections in London which prifoners may give an account of.
London, April 28. The Marine fo ciety has prefented to Mr Hanway, as an acknowledgement of bis diftinguilhed la bours from the beginning to the end of the aft war, and his indefatigable attention to #heir object ever fince, a filver gilt medal, the coft being only about five pounds), the fame being engraven as follows, viz. on VOL, XXXI.
one fide the Anchor of Hope, with the following infcription: The Marine Society, inftituted in Londơn, July 1756, during the war with France and Spain, by voluntary fubfcriptions, cloathed and fitted out 5452 landmen as feamen, and 4787 boys to be bred feamen, for the fervice of the Royal Navy, and allo provided for all the boys who applied to them at the clofe of the war in 1762." And on the reverfe Britannia ftanding under an oak, which fupports her thield, a lion ftanding ou her right fide. She leans with her left arm on a boy in a tattered garment, who holds out his hand towards cloaths lying on the ground, and the points to a cannon and a buoy, as implements of War and Navigation, with this infcription: "To Jonas Hanway, Efq; as a token of the high fente which the Marine Society entertain of his public fpirit in propofing, and unwearied alliduity in methodizing, this design." Motto, "Charity and Policy united."On the exergue, "Robert Lord Romney, Chairman, and John Thornton, Elq; Treasurer."
"London, May 29. On Friday, Mr Ramfay, in the name of Earl Stanhope, now at Geneva, made a donation to the British Mufeum of the original articles prefented by the Barons in Runny Mead to King John in 1215, as the groundwork for his Magna Charta; of which the original, part of the Cottonian collection, had been already depofited in the Mufeum. By a comparison of thele articles with the complete ratification of them in the Great Charter of King John, it appears, that the parliamentary rights of the finaller freeholders, and the liberty of the boroughs, were established by the King, in oppofition to the views of the Barons, who only meant to make themfelves independent of the crown, without any regard either to the liberty of the people, or the fafety of the state. This wife policy of the King, though ineffectual during the weak and turbulent reign of his fon, fhone forth under his grandfon Edward I.; who, upon the principle of King John, gave a regular form to the boule of Commons, and an opening to that balance of power which produces liberty, and equal laws, without losing fight of that due fubordination by which alone the feveral powers of the state can be called forth, united, and exerted for the cenimion good.-Dr Blackftone has given a very correct edition of these articles, in his hiftory of the Great Charter." 4 Y
