We mentioned some days ago, that it was expected Eat the Lancashire Magistracy would give a public dression of their sentiments respecting the late dis rreful proceedings at Manchester. We have now satisfaction to annbunce, that that respectable hdy has taken effectual means to prevent their names ezd character from being mixed up with those of the Rochester Magistrates. They have had a Meeting make these transactions into their serious considera te; and have come to a resolution m protest against a proceedings of the Manchester Magistrates ! great length occupied in our columns this day '! the Froceedings at swearing in the Sheriffs of Lou ie:4 by the details respecting the Nottingham Meet- ".;.•, the farther examination of witnesses before the layucst at Oi.iham, and the proceedings in the Corn rrri this day, leaves us little or no room for obsavations of our own. Indeed, none are ne "sar) on any of these topics, as our details arc very aLd accurate. The Verdict of the inquest on Lees, it is supposed, :.ot be given for ten days, or a fortnight, as it .%qui:e that time to go through the evarnination witnesses. teriaisition, respectably signed, has been pre -1,, Alderman ItortrweLL, requesting him to Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Ward of to take into consideration the outrages corn ea tie 16th of August last, by the Magistrates leornatiry at Manchester, to which the worthy has acceded, and the Meeting will be held two c'i!,,Lk, on Friday next, October 1, at the large f. 41 - le King's Head Tavern, Poultry. 1 1: Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning• S:•:ui.l.: j the KING distributed, in the Hall of ;I:e Medals of Encouragement to the Ma and Artizans who have been exhibiting cir ptoductions at the Louvre. The Duke de la i:II iEFOCCAULT-LIONCOURT addressed a discourse I:L Majesty on the progress of French industry.— KING replied in these words : " I see with lively the brilliant state of the Arts and of i:idustry. In my youth I had the regret to that we were inferior to our neighbours. I have, thy old age, the consolation of being certain that always equal and sometimes surpass them."— , -:.ti.umber of Melds distributed was 336, of which wcre in gold, 138 in silver, and 138 in bronze fhe Journeymin Ma.nufacturers of Sedan, like hose in some parts of our own country, are com plaining loudly of a depression of wages ; or, as the Parisian Journatts gaily term it, of being placed on ha!pra & . The Mayor of the City has issued a Pro clamation, warning the men of the legal penalties of any combination to raise their Wages ; and the men, on their part, have addressed a Petition to the KING, urging that the law of hunger is quite as imperative as the strongest law in the land. Five per Cents.—Saturday, 71fr. 20c. We have received American Papers m the Ist inst. by which we learn that the yellow fever, which has shewn itself in several places, causes great and gene ral alarm. The Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia has interdicted all commutication with the cities of Charleston and Baltimore, and the island of Cuba, in consequence of the prevalence of that malady in these places ; and the Board of Health at Philadelphia was occupied with the same subject when these Papers came away. Trade continues so dull, and the want of money is so universally felt in the United States, that many of the middling classes of life have been absolutely reduced to the state of vagrant beggars. One hundred and nine houses were lately destroyed by fire in the town of St. John's, in the island of Cuba. From Terra Firma.--Captain Webb, who arrived 'at Norfolk, in twenty days from Maracaibo, reports, that advices reached that port on the 26th of July, of the defeat of General Morillo at Columbuso, a small place, a short distance up the Lake, and that his loss was very great ; indeed, he had since m!tde a requisition of more troops, ammunition, and cloth ing. The Patriots were highly elated at their success. Extrad of a Letter.—You must know that Barce lona has'fallen, and Cumana and the whole Royal squadron are now in possession of the Patriots ; and probably before this reaches you, Laguira, Porto Ca vell% and Caraccas, will also be subject to the Rebels. THE ARMY. Monday, the Duke of GcoucEsTen inspected the Third Regiment of Guards, in the Barrack Square, Windsor, the Officers of which gave his Royal High ness a grand dinner at the Barracks.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK visited the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-House. The health of her Royal Highness the Duchess of CLARENCE, has improved very much since her arrival at Dover Castle. Lord Viscount BURT has not declined the contest for the Representation of Arundel. It is true, in deed, that some of Mr. BLAKE'S friends issued bills to that effect ; and thence, it is supposed, the report of his Lordship's declension originated and prevailed. A most respectable Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Borough of Southwark, was held last night, at the Nag's Head, High-street, pur suant to public advertisement, for the purpose oftaking into consideration the best means for giving effect to the Resolutions, passed at the late Meeting, relative to the Manchester transactions ; but, owing to some mistake respecting the notice sent to Sir ROBERT WILSON, (who was to have presided) or some family calamity, the worthy Baronet was not present. After a little consideration, it was agreed to adjourn the Meeting till Friday evening ; but not till the Gen tlemen present commenced a Subscription for assist ing the Manchester sufferers ; when Mr. WEATHER STONE, who had been called to the Chair, presented. the sum of Twenty Guineas as a mite frcni Sir Re BERT ;—Five Guineas, transmitted by - a Friend, at Brighton, to " purchase justice, hemp, &c.—(Laugh ter and applause) ;--and his own humble tribute of Ten Guineas. Other Gentlemen subscribed, and a considerable sum was collected before the Meeting adjourned. Mr. Alderman Timm, as Governor of the Irish Society, with a Deputation of the Common Council, is now in Ireland, looking after the estates which belong to the Corporation of London ; he is expected ,back at the end of the week. MEETING bJ' THE cbMl►MOly-IIALL THLI DAY. pUILDTIALt., HALF-PAST EtErEII O'CLOCK. As early as ten o'clock this morning, the number assembled in Guildhall-yard was very great. At eleven O'clock the LORD MAYOR arrived, and was greeted with the accustomed salutations of " Fire! fire !"—" Murder !"-..." Hunt's at your heels !"—and tremendous hissing. He looked round in a con temptuous manner. Alderman ROTHWELL has just passed through the Hall, amidst a mixture of hisses land applause. The Corporation have procirded to Church, and it is not expected that the business will commence in the Hall until half-past one o'clock.— In the iuterim, the following Hand-bill was plenti- fully distributed in the Hall : 1 / 4 THE WILL OF THE LORD MAYOR! versus THE RIGHT OF TILE LIVERY OF LONDON TO MEET IN COMMON-HALL to discuss Public Grievances. I can never allow that the Lord Mayor shall be ever✓ thing, and the Livery nothing P—Coomir, 1809. "This Cause is to be tried in the Gcn.rnseu. of the CITY of Lownosr, this MICUAELMAS-DAY, 1819, previous to the Election of the Lord Mayor for the Year ensuing. " Lrizarmin—The Eyes of the whole Kingdom are directed to the Issue of this important Struggle. " Remember that the Livtar, on MID6IIIOI2IL-DAY, 1679, de fended this Right for you. It is your Duty to hand the same dows to Poaserity, unimpaired. Do your Duty !—Be Tempe rate ! !—But be Firm ! ! !" Scarcely had the above made its appearance, when the following was also circulated profusely : " The Loyal and Independent Livery of . London, having met at the London Tavern, on Friday, the 24th 44y of September, 1819, JOHN. BLADES, Esq. in the Chair, it was unanimously Resolved, That the Line of Rotation to the Office of LORD MAYOR, should be most strictly adhered to. The Loyal and Independent Livery of London are therefore earnestly requested to Support the return of Sir MATTHEW BLOXAM, Knt. and CHRISTOPHER MAGNAY, Esq. being die two Al dermen next in Rotation, to be returned to the COURT of At.- nxasias as FIT and PROPER PERSONS to serve the Office of Lows MATOS for the Year ensuing.", Another— " BROTHER LIVIRYMEPP.-YOll are this day assembled to exer cise a most important duty, the choice of a Chief Magistrate. " Are you not called upon then to elect such a Magistrate as will not deny you a Common Hall, to consider the propriety of Petitioning for the Redress of Public Grievances? " Will Alderman Banalks, and the Aldermen below the Chair, come forth and declare their readiness to convene Com mon Halls, when requested so to do by a respectable number of Liverymen ? " If not, what alternative have you then, but to return Mr. Alderman WOOD and Mr. Alderman THORP ? by which you can Alone secure your ancient and undoubted privileges, guaranteed to you by the Bill of Bights.—l'our's, " A Dvsarstax." HALF-PAST TWELVE. The Civic Procession, when on its way to the Church of St. Lawrence JeWry, was assailed with a most astounding tempest of groaning, yelling, and hissing. Only three Aldermen followed in the train of the Loan MAYOR. Although the Church was of course open to every body, but' few of the multitude took advantage of the privilege, and we were happy to find the greatest order and decorum observed during the Service. The first portion of Scripture appointed for the day's reading was singular, and produced a general smile throughout the Assembly. It commenced as follows : " And there was war in Heaven ; Michael a%d his Angels fought against the Dragon, knd the Dragon fought and his An gels, and prevailed not ; neither was their place found any more in Heaven. And the great Dragon was cast out—that old Ser pent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world : he was cast out into the earth, and his Angels were cast out with him." The LORD MAYOR'S Chaplain delivered a very appropriate discourse from these words—" He who ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of Goo."—The Reverend Preacher took occasion to pass a very high eulogium on Lord Mayor ATKINS for his upright conduct during his Mayoralty. His Lordship, he emphatically observed, would retire from it to enjoy one of the richest pleasures in life— the unbribed congratulation of his own heart. On the return of the Procession to Guildhall the populace appeared to have formed a new system of annoyance, confining themselves to an incessant shout ing of Fire! Fire! It was with difficulty that the City Officers and Constables could clear the way through to the Hall, every one pressing forward to get a sight of the Civic Dignitaries, and every one apparently more anxious than another to pour in his mite of abuse. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. At five minutes past one, the Loan MAYOR took his seat on the littsLings, amidst the most dismal yells and hootings, mixed with applause. Aldermen C. SMITH, WOOD, WAITHMAN, J. J. SMITH, HUNTER, SCHOLEY, BLOXAM; . BRYDGES, and HEYGATE, were also present. The Town Crier called silence !' and the RECORDER then rose, and stated, that the Livery were met for the purpose of el ecting a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. Mr. THOMPSON rose to propose a series of Reso lutions, but was interrupted by the LORD MAYOR and the RECORDER. The COMMON SERJEANT also declared that the proceeding was illegal. After a very noisy wrangle the Lunn MAYOR allowed him to proceed. Mr. T. was, however, so repeatedly interrupted by the COMMON SERJEANT and the cries of .‘ (t 11; " Election, Electio' n r that Mr. WAITIIMAN advised him to wait until the Hall was quiet. Here a struggle ensued between the two. Sheriffs, both of whom wished to address the Livery. Mr. Sheriff ROTH WELL succeeded in recommending them to pioceed to the order of the day. Mr. Sheriff BARILII.I6 here protested against the 'precedency assumed by 14r. gothweit, and etistitill the Lord Mayor for perinitting it.. He beget! Or the Livery Would be patient; and a hear what tit& Gentlemen has to say r—alldding to some on the hustings who Were calling for the . tiection:' Mr. WAITHMAN again spole to order, *ben the COMMON SnaJEAwr insisted on his right tt being, heard. g You are not doing your duty, said Mr. Waithnian, to which the Cominon Serjeant re plied If yeti forget your duty, I will not forget mine! lie than read a list of the Aldetmon in ro-, tation for the Chain Mr. Titoursos opposed the reading, as did Alder man WAITIIMAN, who then addressed the Meeting to the following effect:—" Gentlemen, the read ing of this list is a solemn farce—(DreadfUl clamour on the hustings, in which a Mr. ROBERT SMITH took a conspicuous part.) I will wait till you are done, and • will stop till five o'clock to-morrow morning, but I will be heard. The Gentlemen who now interrupt me are the same who met at the London Tavern to preserve the peace—( Cries of Election! Election!) and are now here, I suppose, for the same pur pose this is the secret Junto of the Loyal Livery with a Mr. Robert Smith at the head, who proposed• that they should take possession of the hustings this day, to stop your mouths.—(Mr. Smith denied it.) — If he can say any thing else, but No, No, and Elec tion, for Gon's sake hear him."—(Mr. Waithman now sh ipped of his Alderman's gown), and proceeded:— " Now Gentlemen, I call upon you to exercise yout own discretion, and gain a fair hearing to Mr. Robert Smith, who will tell you, that the best war to have an Election, is not to have any Election at all. A Mr. Murrell here interrupted Mr. Waithman / to whom turning round, he said, " Yes, Mr. Murrell / you are one of them." Gentlemen, if they interrupt me, I will point them out to you— Left speaking. • The FRENCH AMBASSADOR entertained on Monday the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR, Mr. MORIER; and a large party, at his residence in Portland-place. Earl and Countess SPENCER and suite left Paris on Thursday last for Vienna. The Marquis and Marchioness of BLANDFORD ar , rived on Monday at the Prince of Saxe-Coburg Hotel, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, from Scotland. A letter from Frankfort, dated September 13, says, Our Fair is again overstocked with English goods; the woollen cloths and kerseymeres cannot, however, maintain the competition, in cheapness, with those of the Netherlands and France. Cotto❑ manufactures, from Saxony and Switzerland, are come in great numbers. As a proof of the excessive quantity of goods manufactured, it may be mentioned, that a single Swiss house has brought to this Fair 376 cwt. of stuffs and cottons of its own manufacture. Some Swiss and Saxon houses, however, do a good deal of business, and with advantage, though the English sell their cotton goods even cheaper than in the last Fair. The French jewellers appear to be satisfied. There is a great supply of French and Vienna shawls and Lyonese silks, and these articles maintain their prices. No Italians have come to this Fair. "SEPTEMBER 15.—After the first week of the Fair is over, we hear that business turns out better than was at first expected. Considerable purchases of raw wool have been made, and it is hoped that in the se cond week the wool magazines will be pretty well cleared. Several Vienna houses and owners of large estates in Moravia and Bohemia had sent great quan tities of wool from the Austrian State!." CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, SEPTEMBER 29. Our Wheat trade was brisker this morning than on Monday, and a few picked samples sold Is. per qr. higher; the late rains having enabled some of the lwater-mills to resume working, and thereby increased the number of buyers, but there is no improvement in price of any other than the finest qualities. Fine Barley sold on full as good terms as on Monday. In Beans and Oats there is no alteration. 11 I I ~" A . 3 »' W, I~ `~1I : I' ,0 vi: il' r. . • .! I li' : . S Ii : I.'

GLUTTONY. A fellow named Arthar *worth, a shipwright, who resides at No. 40, Old Gravel-lane, Ratcliffe, yesterday, at the Zebeek's Head, 1 ligh-street, Shadwell, after eating his dinner, which con. slued of half a pound of ham, a two-penny loaf, a pint of porter * and two soles, for a wager of £5, undertook to eat, within an hour, half a bushel of oysters, and drink two glasses of brandy, etc. which he actually devoured a few minutes before the given time. M rs. WI tscor, of Northampton, met with an alarm - ing accident, last week, in returning from the Races. with four other Ladies, in a sociable. From some un known cause, the horses took fright, and one of them_ ran with such violence against a post in the road as immediately to kill himself. The Ladies were all thrown out, and much hurt ; and Mrs. WILSON so, much so, that doubts are entertained of her recovery. An elderly Lady, named 'Bouniis, who resides in a second floor, in Silver-street, was burnt so dread fully yesterday morning, that she cannot poisibly , survive.
