Cili a BUSIN.M. Yesterday a Court of Comninn Council was held at Guildhall, to take into consideration the Report of its Committee, appointed to settle the best mode of ce lebrating the appro.7ching Anniversary of his Majesty's Accession to the Throne. Mr: MARaJOTT rose to complain of the misrepre sentation of some of his expressions at the last Court of Common Council, as they had been reported in some of the public prints of the following day. If he had wished to retort, he Would have moved, that the Bar sh.'uld be cleared ; but he thought that would be too personal ; and whatever those people might think of his religion, it was his rule to return good for evil. He meant nothing more when he talked of a cursed cold church, than he would, were he to say, that one of his friends was a cursed fine fellow, or a cursed queer felkw. Mr. Deputy KEMBLE contested he was sorry to see that on many occasions a slur was cast on the Pro c.-edings of that Court. He remembered, however, that the expressions alluded to were received with marks of indignity ; and he was now happy to hear some apology for them. Mr. GuiFFmts called on the Gentleman (Mr. Mar riott), who was so scrupulous about his expressions, to make an apology for a very unbecoming expres sion he had applied to him, on the former day, when he simply reminded the Chair that the Gentleman had already spoken on the question, in desiring him to mind his own business. When the disposal of 50001 per annum of the CorpoEttion funds was. the , question under consideration, he had understo9d that to be the business of every .Member of the Court. This produced no answer. The Thanks of the Court were then voted to the Rev. S. Birch, Chaplain to the Lotd Mayor, for his Sermon on Michaelmas Day last. The sermon was ordered to be printed, and copies to be presented to that Court, and to the City Officers. A letter was presented from the Lord Mayor Elect, signifying his willingness to take upon him the office. JUBILEE. Alderman WOOD rose to move a string of resolu tions. The substance of the first was, that so much of the resolution of the last Court as related to illu minating Guildhall and providing a dinner, should be rescinded, as contrary to the 3'2d standing order of the Court. He should also move a resolution, that it was the opinion of the Court, that it would be more consonant to the wishes of his Majesty and a better way of celebrating the Jubilee, that the money which was now intended to be expended on a dinner and an illumination, should be applied to building alms-houses for distressed Freemen and their widows, and that the City should call upon the different Guilds to co-operate with them, and aid them in their pur pose, which would be a much better mode of celebra ting the day than what had been proposed. The 32d standing order was then read, which was dated 31st of May 1805, and stated that no question affecting the estates or cash of the City, should be brought forward without a regular notice at the pre ceding Court, and also expressed in the summons. At the request of Mr. Dixon, the 28th standing order was then read, which provided that no pro ceeding or resolution of that Court should be rescinded without similar notice. After a short and irregular debate, Mr. Dixox said that if the worthy Alderman wished to stand upon a standing order, he could not get rid of the other. He submitted, however, that it would be the best way to take first that part of the report in which they all agreed, namely, for address ing his Majsty and going up to St. Paul's. After this part of the business was settled, the worthy Al derman might afterwards go on with his motions. Mr. Alderman Woof), after consulting with his friends, said, that he was pErftctly content that this business should be first settled, provided it were un derstood that the motions were not abandoned. Mr. Alderman GOODBEHERE thought that the Ccurt was tt all times perfectly the master of its own pro ceedings, and might, if it thought proper, agree to any resolution, notwithstanding these standing orders which had been mentioned. Mr. WAITIIMAN rose merely to speak to order.— He never could conceive the rescinding of a former resolution, or the violation of a standing order, as things of a trivial nature. He thought, on the con trary, that the departure from the established rules laid down to'guide the Court, was a very serious thing. To rescind a resolution as contrary to a stand ing order, he thought would be only getting rid of one irregularity by committing another. It was allowed, however, that there had been very great irregularity at the last Court ; and the Court itself was broke up on account of its irregularity. He therefore thought, that although it would be wrong to rescind a resolu tion of the last Court without due notice, yet it might be right to consider that resolution as a mere nullity, in consequence of its being passed is direct contradic tion to the tl2d standing order. Mr. Alderman Woon said, that he had no objec tion to alter his motion according to the suggestions of the last speaker. After some further conversation a Committee was appointed to prepare an Address of Congratulation. On the return of the Committee with the Address, strangers were excluded, and were not again admitted. A Court is to be held to-morrow, avowedly for the purpose of appointing a Committee to conduct the entertainment for the Corporation on the 25th of October, &c. ; but, till the determination of this Court is known, the huiness of the dinner and illumination may be considered as in suspense. Mr. Alderman Wood will bring forward his propositions.—Ad journed at six o'clock.

At the tate Meeting, in the match on Saturday se'nnight, be tween Sir Petrone!! and Florival, for the Gascoigne Stakes of 200 r. each, just after starting and running a short distance, Flu rival turned quickly round, and returned back, and before he could be stopped, Sir Petroneil had gained so much ground, that it was unnecessary to attempt to start hint again. In the match on Monday, for the St. Leger Stakes, won 1)y Ashton, when 14 <tarted, six of whom were distanced, Ashton took the lead, was never headed, and won easy. Lizettc went cif second. In the match on Wednesday, between Ashton and Ceres, for! the Doncaster Stakes, both riders having received orders to wait. they walked for about a quarter of a mile, when Ceres went off in a slow canter, and Ashton trotted after her, when some smart running took place, but, notwithstanding, Ashton won uncom monly easy. . _ In the match on Thursday, for the .£lOO, won by Whitworth, beating Rover, Petronius, Lingodale, and Charcoal, Petronius won the third heat ch verly ; but his rider wanting about 411 ounce of weight, and his horse being led away before it was dis covered, it became a disputed question whether the rifler was entitled to weigh with the bridle or not. The Stewards, in con sequence thereof, consulted with several respectable and uninter ested gentlemen, when it was agreed, that as Petronius was led away from the weighing stand, his rider was Lot entitled to the weight of tLe bridle, the horse was, of course, deemed distanced, and the Plate given to Whitworth. EXTRA. The display of carriages at this Meeting was large. Of sets of horses, Colonel Beaumont's were the best appointed, and made the most splendid appearance. Martin Hawke led the way of the four-in-hand, in four very neat chesnuts, and a very neat ba rouche. Earl Fitzwilliam had very fine horses. The equipages of Mr. Clowes and Mr. Coke were very neat. The assemblage of that body of grad-meit so necessary to a race course, and called the Legs, was the largest ever known. At the close of the Meeting the Legs walked of to Newmarket. On Thursday, the 21st inst. died at Gainford, near Darlington, the stallion Barnaby, aged 14. He was got by Stride, out of Violet, by Eclipse, and was the property of Mr. J. Machall, of Catterick. Major Wheatley has become the purchaser of Mr. Dinsdale's twa-year old colt, by Beningbrough, out of Lady Crutches, by Dron:, for 500 gs. with a contingency. A match, for 100 guineas a-side, was run over Bogsicle Race Ground, on Monday, the 25th Sep tember, betwixt Sir D. H. &ma's bay mare, 4-years old, by Master Robert, Bst against ROBERT WALLACE, Esq. of Kelly's, bay horse, 4-years old, by Dtlfiini, Bst. 41b. It was won easily by the latter. CROYDON FA nt. —At an early hour yesterday many tax-carts, and other vehicles for driving, were put in requisition for a trip to Croydon Fair, which com menced with all its attractions. The wandering army of Showmen pitched their camps as usual ; and, not withstanding the day was damp and unpleasant, the Fair was attended by a numerous assemblage of visi tants. The display of walnuts, for which this Fair is famous, was not so abundant as usual. The E. 0. Tables men, and the Knights of the Garter, were thrown into great confusion by a report that a strong party of Police Officers had arrived to disturb their studies. The scene exhibited on this occasion was not unlike a camp surprised. Tables, dice, teetotums and all the materials for plundering the unwary, were quickly precipitated into bags and corners, where they lay concealed from the prying eye of curiosity. Un fortunately_for many soft-headed rustics, who after wards lost their money, this proved a false alarm ; and when the panic had subsided, depredations were again practised. The road to town in the evening became the scene of several well-fought battles. An Officer of the 12th Light Dragoons died at Deal last Wednesday. His premature death was oc casioned by eating a quantity of nuts on the preced ing Saturday. He felt the effects the next morning, and medical assistance was immediately called in, but unfortunately without effect. On Wednesday last, a numerous and respectable Company of Proprietors of the Kennet and Avon Canal, dined together at the City of London Tavern, JOHN BARNES, Esq. in the Chair. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously given to the Committee of Management and to their Chairman, CHARLES Dt a DAS, Esq. Member of Parliament for the County cf Berks, for their indefatigable exertions in this under taking. Their healths were drank with great pleasure by the Company, who considered themselves indebt ed for their perseverance in the concern, the succes4 of which is no longer doubtful. The health of Lord AILESBURY also, who supplied the Company with ve nison, with other appropriate toasts, w(r.! drank.— They had the pleasure to find that the Iron Masters of South Wales, had, on the preceding day, commis. sioned a Gentleman to entreat the Committee to ex tend the Canal from Bath on the same level, until it should be parallel with that part of the Avon which forms the commencement of the floating harbour of Bristol; a measure likely to expedite the conveyance of Iron and other goods from Bristol through the Canal. A subscription was opened for that purpose and a much larger sum is already subscribed, as a separate Company, than was first deemed necessary to complete the intended extension. The Company were highly delighted with their prospects in them undertakings, as well as with their entertainment. WORCESTER AtEETING. THERi) DAY -FRJD~Y. The third and last day's performance at titc Ca. thedr.il, was the Sacred Oratorio of The Messirb.— , This is a subject of such liequent repetition in the musical world, that it affords no room for a single observation, that would be recommenied by its no velty. We could only remark, that the sungs, I krs.au that my Redeemer meth, by Mrs. Etuusoro.s—Comfort ye my /leo/Ik, by Mr. BRAIIAM—and, IPhy do the na tions furiously rage together ? by Mr. BARTLE/WA:fp were sung in that style of superior excellence, which has, an hundred times, drawn forth admiration and applause. We regret to observe, that Mrs. Btwxoron, soon after her arrival in Worcester, found herself so ill as to be obliged to have recourse to medical advice. It was with evident difficulty she remained in the Cathedral, this morning, to the end of the perform. ance. The concert at the College-Hall, in the evening, was again numerously attended ; every place was occupied soon after the doors opened...-. The concert commenced with one of Haydn's grand symphonies. The duetto, by Mozart, 4h, perdonnt, primo gilt°, was sung by Mrs. and Mr. VAUGHAN. It was impossible for two voices better to accord together ; there was a degree of pathos in each, that rendered the union of both peculiarly pleasing.— Mr. lln AStt M, when he sang He was fames for deeds of ar m s, gave it with such effect, that he seemed to have the same controul over the passions of his hear• ers, as Timotheus of old. The glee, Fair Ellen like a lily .grew, was sung by Mrs. BiLLINGTON, Mrs. and Mr. VAUGHAN, and Mr. BARTLEMAN. It is one of Mr. BRAHAXI'S melodies, and i 3 harmonized by Mr. HARRISON. Farewell to the Nymph of my heart, com• posed by CoOKE, the words by Dr. WALCOT, was sweetly sung by Mr. BARTLEMAN. Mrs. Bit.t.txt-roN, unwell as she was, again renew el, in the Italian air, Ah me tremar einganoi, that delight she had affordel on the former evening.—. We have now to mention what every admirer of real harmony had waited for with anxious expectation— it was not a modern composition, but one that had stood the test of upwards of a century. Who has ever heard TRAVER'S inimitable duet of Haste, ray Nannette, and can put any thing in competition with it? Mrs. BlLLisc Fox, when she began it, did not sing with that livelines such a theme demanded; but it was impossible for her to proceed, without forget ting she was ili. In the passage, Guard thou the sheep, to her so dear, she breathed forth notes so soft rind sweet, that they made every bosom thrill with rap ture. Their effect was greatly heightened by their contrast with the floe, deep, manly bass voice of Mr. BARTLRNIAN. The last Words of Ilfarmion. by Mr. BRAIIAM, composed by Dr. CLARKE, is one of those compositions we are not much in the habit of admir ing. It is not possible that it can be sung be:ter than Mr. BRAHAM sings it, but there is too much of it—the ear grows wearied with having too much of a good thing.—Marmion is a great while too long dy ing, and one is continually in fear .f hearing more last words. However, it is a chewy affair, and ge nerally gets encored! The spirits, which had rather • flagged by attending Marmion's funeral, were revived • by the sprightly glee of From Oberon in Fairyland.--. It was sung_ with uncommon animation by M rs . VAUGHAN, Messrs. Goss, Mr. VAITGFIAN, and Mr. BARTLEMAN. The Soldier tir'd of War's Alarms, was the last song given by Mrs. BILLINGTON ; and, as it was her last, so she exerted herself to her utmost.— . Her exertions were followed by applauses as,flattering to herself as her efforts had been gratifying to those who witnessed them. The vocal music was relieved by two concertos ; the one on the trumpet, by Mr. HYDE, and the other on the violoncello, by Mr.LIND. LEY. They both evinced what astonishing effects may be produced upon those instruments, by the combina tion of genius, aided by perseverance and practice. A concerto on the violin, by Mr. CRAMER, had been announced, but he did not play it, owing, as it was said, to a hurt he had received some time ago in the hand. The disappointment was very much felt by the company, and those who had heard his obligate accompaniments, could not persuade themselves that tho excuse was a legitimate one. This concert, and, with it, the whole of the performances, concluded with God save great George our King ! The solo parts we -e sung by Mrs. IlmtiNurox, Mr. and Mrs. VAUG. II 2 , 1, Mr. Goss, and Mr. BA RTLEMAN ; and the peo ple of Worcester, by joining in the full ch ort l / 2 , . • ma nifested that spirit of loyal:y which in former periods distinguished the actions of - their forefathers. Yesterday Sarah Simknu was charged, at Worship. street, by Mrs. Davis, haberdasher, in Kingsland-road, with stealing a variety of articles, which she pledged. ,Some pawnbrokers denied having the articles, but they were found in their possession. They were also charged with endeavouring to keep Simkins out of the way, and were, with her, committed for re-examination. EtricAonnlNAßY FRAUM—Yesterchy Mr. Scholey, bookseller, of Paternoster-row, applied to the Magis trate, at Bow-street, for his instructions how to pro ceed in the case of an extraordinary fraud practised upon him. He stated, that having occasion, about a week since, to draw a check upon his - bankers, Messrs. Ramsbottom and Co. Lombard street, in fa vour of a Mr, Miller; to whom he was paying a bill, by mistake he filled the check for 36(j1. instead of a smaller sum ; but immediately can discovering his mistake, he torethe first check into pieces, and threw the fragments on his counting house floor, and then wrote another tor the proper sum ; but on receiving the return from his banker's book on Monday, he was astonished to find, amongst other vouchers, the identical check before mentioned, which he had tiro in pieces, neatly pasted together on a piece of blank•paper, and which had been paid by th e b an k ers t) some person unknown, for his account. H e i ntl .. mediately went to the bankers' to inquire into the . . circumstance, and was informed that the check was paid to a man calling himself Thomas Thomas, in a 5301. Bank of England note, and some smaller ones, Vie numbers of which were now given to Mr. Scholar. He proceeded to make further inquiry at the Bank of England, and there found those notes had been changed for their amount in small notes ; but na description could be remembered of t he person. The Magistrate therefore could onlyadvise him to advt.?, the the transaction, with th e description of the person to Messrs. Ramsbottom. 'who brought the check , ~. I.
