COURT OF COMMON COUVCIL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held for t'te election of aCommori Crier or City Serjeant-at-Arms, ? nd also f-r the election of h Town Clerk. The Court was extremely crowded, the popularity of the candi dates for the first named office being very great. • The report of the nature and duties of the office of Common Crier or Serjeant-at-Arms was read. It stated that the officer appointed become one of the four E quires of the Lord Mayor's Household. He was rest in rank to the Sword-bearer, who was the Lord "layor's senior officer. It was his duty to make pro clamations on the Exchange, in Cheapside, and at St. l Paul's, where the Crosses formerly stood. It was his privilege to carry the City mace before the Lord Mayor on state days. It was his duty to open the Courts of Hustings and Common•hall, arid to adjourn them. It was the opinion of the Committee that a number of the fees belonging to the office ought to be disconti :-.lel The fixed salary they recommended should be lA. per annum, which, with the fees, they thought t ! t orild remain, would amount nearly to 500/. the iteport was then adopted. A Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the route and duties of the office of Town Clerk was r ad. 1: stated that the most important duty was the custody oldie City records and muniments ; and the Corn-lime niadt a recommendation (one, by the bye, strewed that they have formed an absurdly int p9.;ant opinion of the interest or value of their old .I ,, ers to the public) that no person should be permit-, r) have access to the City records, except upon an e.dcr from the Court of Common Council or the Court rf Aldermen, arid that every person who made copies in consequence of such order or permission, should be convened to pay eightpence for every 72 words lie copied. They re.ommended that the Town Cler k should be compelled to give extracts gratis to the Members of the Court. It was his dirty ri make eats ies, riinutes, and indexes, of all the corporate proceedings, and to give various notices. The Committee recom mended a salary of 3,500/. from which there would be a deductioa of 1,5001. to maintain an establishment of clerks, leaving a clear salary of 2,00 U. including an official residence at the charge of the Corporation. Tire Committee recommended the abolition of fees of office as meat as possible, and that the stirnd should be fixed, an‘i AS lade depeadent upon casualties as could be regula•erl. .slr. Deputy /locus moved that the Repsrt should be received. Alderman L;nows was of opinion that an individual of the highest character mi ? lit be found who would gladly mid. :take the duties of the situation at a far :m.:l!er st.m titan what had been recommended. There co;•1:1 nor he a doubt as to the individual cn whom the choke of the Court would and ought to fal, but in the present state of the City funds he thought the salary was excessive. Be moved as an amendment that the report should be printed, and that the election should be adjourned, in order that the Court should have full time to consider maturely the nature of the office, the alterations that should be made, and the remuneration •whiCh should be given to the person appointed for his labours. Mr. HURCOMSE opposed the amendment. The Court was bound, ire said, to provide liberally for the person who filled so , very high and important an office. He did not doubt that thousands could be found who would ' execute all the duties of the office for one-half the sum, *or Indeed for any sum at all; but was the Court there foie to diminish the profits? There was no situation •ittat could be named for which candidates would not start op at a tenth part of the pecuniary recompense, but that, in his opinion, was no reason why a redaction should take place, espt cially when the t ffice was or.e of the most confidential nature, and in which talent and unwearied attention la ere inoispensaible—(Hear). Ali let man It:too/N.—You have misrepresented the sour don which I have made the position. I say that irthviduals of high character and talent, and of high rank too, may be found to take such an office at a smaller sum. Mt. HURCOMBE said the Committee had given the most serious consideration to the subject. They had inquired into all the circumstances connected with the office most diligently, and the Court, he believed, would not hesitate a moment in adopting the report. Mr. Jones said the Committee had been divided amongst themselves upon the subject, and the Court should be allowed to consider the matter themselves. Mr. Deputy Daw did not see that any danger could arise from fully considering the subject. Air. OLDHAM thought the allowance of 1,500/. a-year was by no means excessive for an establishment of seven clerks requisite to assist the Town Clerk; but he considered the entire salary ought to undergo some reduction. He, therefore, supported the amendment. The question was then put, and the amendment was carried by a considerable majority. EQUITABLE LOAN BANK COMPANY. The City itemembt aucer made some statement which mentioned the intention of the Loan Bank Company to apply for a charter. A resolution was then proposed, to the effect that it should be referred to the Committee of General Purposes to watch the proceedings of the Equitable Loan Bank Company in any application which they might make for a Royal Charter, and to report to the Court thereon. Alderman BROWN could not give a silent vote upon the subject. He thought that Public Companies, except for public purposes, which could not be effected by individual capital, or individual exertions, were public nuisances. The Corporation, as the landlords of a great number of the shopkeepers, on whose prosperity they depended for those rents which formed so large a portion of the City revenue, were bound to use every effort to defeat this combination against individual ex ertions. Combinations of this kind, if they succeeded, must ruin a great number of the Citizens of London— (Hear, hear). Resolution agreed to. The election of Common Crier was proceeded in. A ballot took place, When there appeared for Mr. Beddow, 110 ; for Mr. Raider, W. Mr. Beddome was declared duly elected.—The Court then adjourned. ' Dispatches were yesterday received at the Colonial ° Major-G e n era l Sir C. Titania, at Sierra Leone. I ttwithstanding the extreme heat of the weather, ail the Summer Theatres in the Metropolis and the neighbourhood have been better attended this season than for many years. As xot.n, at the Lyceum, has hithetto had overflowing houses, and Mows, at the Haymarket, hat generally opened his Theaue to a bumper, although London is said to be empty. Two besotted disciples of Johanna Southcote, who have lately been holding forth at Plymouth and other places, made their appearance at Bath last week, and preached at the bottom *of Bathwick-street. Both of tl.em had beard, of immense length,and one carried an iron rod and a ram's born—the latter of which, is, it is said, emblematical of the horns spoken of in the G.h of Ju.ilitt4 - • • ALARMING FIRE. • The neighbourhood of Temple-bar, inA the western partoof the City, was thrown into considerable alum, in consequence of a fire bre4ing one, last evening, in the Strand, near Temple-bar. About half-past nine o'clock, one of the watchinen law the flames rising in the interior of the house of Mr.. Harris, a tailor, of 222, in the Strand. Tbe alarm immediately became general ; and as it was presumed no one was in the house, the watchmen and some stran gers, who were passing, burst open the doors. The watchmen state that at that period the staircase appeared to be the only part on fire. One of the Watchmen observed a bed in the back parlour, and as he imagined same one might be there, and probably suffocated from the intense smoke, he examined the room, but his suspicions were happily groundless. In a very short time the flames burnt through the floors up to the roof of the house, and ' burst with great violence through the front windows. The house of Mr. Essex, the pawnbroker, was, as might reason. ably be expected, it: a short time on fire, but it happened very fortunately that the greater part of Mr. Essex's valuable pro perty was placed on the other side of the premises. The houses destroyed are situateAlrectly in the front of Palsgrave-place, and f-ars were entertained that the houses in that confined situation would have taken fire. The glare of light which illuminated the metropolis induced many to consider that net only Palsgrave-place, but that Twining's warehouse, and other equally valuable establish ments were or: fire. The whole of the upper part of Mr. Essex's house is destroyed, but his jewellery and other vaidable articles have escaped the flames. The house of Mr. Price, an !umbreUa -maker, which adjoir.s Mr. Harris's house, is also very considerably injured. Mr. Price was not insured; and, in the anxiety to save his furniture, am. it was thrown front the windows into theittreet, and was nearly broken to pieces. There seemed to be a good supply of water; and, owing to the exertions of the firemen, the conflagra tion was prevented front spreading further than we have stated. Considerable alarm prevailed among the poor unfortunates who had goods pledged, but Mr. Essex lost no time in giving public notice that all the pledges were safe. BRADFORD CUMBERS AND WEAVERS. FROM THE LEEDS INTELLMENCER. By way of introduction to the let er of our cone spondent at Bradford, which will he found below, we have a most important fact to communicate, as regards the ezisting " turn-out" of the combers and weavers. This week the principal master•spinners of Leeds have resolved to reduce the rates pa d for combing. The cause of this proceeding is simply that they cannot find a market for the yarn on hand, the prices of which are daily declining. At Norwich, and other places, the manufacturers are glutted; and, in consequence, the worsted spinners of Lancashite, as well as this county, are not only compelled to lower the wages of the work men, but apprehend they shall be obliged to throw many out of employment. The reduction now pro posed in Leeds is, on the coarser sorts of wool, from 21d. to lid. per lb. and on others in plOportion. It is not suppo,ed the men will 44 strike" rather than come to tetms imposed on the masters as well as themselves by necessity. The reduction is to take place from Stl• turda) next; and when announced in a mill not far from this town, last week, the men did not subscribe; as usual, to the Bradford " Union." Meantime the comb ing of wool, half by machinery and half by hand, is making rapid progress, and threatens to place the ope ratives soon in a still worse state than they are at pre sent. How foolish and futile the attempt to force up wages under the circumstances we have mentioned : Bradford, Sept. 21. The Masters, Mr. Thompson in the Chair, bad i meeting on Monday last, at the Court-house, Darley-street, at which reso lutions were passed, one of which, after stating that baying learnt that " personal violence having been offered to several workmen for withdrawing from the Union, an outrage which the associated masters very sincerely regret,' it says, " that the associated masters will sustain the expense of proper legal proceedings to be promptly adopted against any other persons who may offend in a similar way, particularly as it has been confidently reported to the meeting, that many of the workmen would return to their employment immedi ately, were it not that they were intimidated by the threats with which they have been assailed." The men had their usual weekly meeting on Monday, at Fair weather-green, but passed no resolutions. The junction of the masters of other places with those here, does not appear to have effscted any alteration in the measures of the men. Support from cater trades increases in proportion to the exigencies of the Union, and though about 1,000 additional members have been thrown out of employment, and have made application for the Union allowance, the supply augments with the demand. The following announcement was posted in the streets of Raking yesterday morning: " To Wool-combers, Silk and Stuff Weavers.—A meeting will be holden on Wednes day, the 21st day of September, 1825, at three o'clock in the afternoon, on Barstow-bill Bank Top, near Halifax, to take into consideration what means are most proper to adopt to counteract the mischievous consequences likely to arise front the extensive combination existing amongst the manufacturers connected with the worsted trade. "JAMES GREENWOOD, President." Our accounts from New South %Vales and Van Dieman's Land are very unsatisfactory. The letters which we have received from Sydney state, that nearly all the grass has been destroyed by caterpillars, which overrun the face of the country, and that they have no prospect for winter of a good supply of provisions. Fortunately, however, corn has fallen considerably in price: the best wheat, which was 16s. per bushel, had gone down to Bs. and the loaf of bread of 21bs. was only 4d. The bush-rangers continue to commit atrocious outrages. Murders and robberies were common at noon-day at Sydney.—Glasgow Frei Press. The President of Mexico has agreed to the forms on I which the Spanish ship Asia surrendered to the Mexi ' cans, and has paid the crew the wages due to them for Iprevious services on board. The letters from Lima received by the Jamaica mail, are dated the sth of June, up to which time Rodil had sot surrendered Callao. Trade is represented to have been in a very bad state, the population of the country surrounding Lima feeling reluctant to visit that city, through the fear of being_compelled to military service. FORGERY OF THE MANCHESTER NOTES OF THE BLASKIIURN BANK.—A forgery has recently beer) dis covered of Messrs. Cunliffe, Brook, and Co.'s Man chester one pound bank notes. The plate purports to be of Perkins and Heath's patent hardened steel ; the minute engraving, however, appears defective on a comparison of the counterfeit with the genuine notes, but can scarcely be distinguished singly, except by its being generally muddy and indistinct. These remarks apply to the whole 0 the fine engraving, but particu larly to the border and to the vignettes in which the words " Manchester" and "London" are inclosed, and even the defects in these cannot be ascertained, ex cept on close examination. The signature " James Cunliffe," seems to have been first traced by the graver, and filled up afterwards. Both that' and the one of "Thos. Wilson" the entering clerk, are good. fac-similes and are well executed. There is sorre disparity be tween the figures "25" in the date, and the clerk's handwriting, especially the 5. The stamp -is remark ably well executed, the only observole defect being in the motto, through nearly the centre of which a red line runs in the forgery. Perhaps the most easy means (4 detection will be in no:icing the colour of the ink, in which the signatures are written. In the forged note both the signatures are perfectly black, while in a genuine one, the Banker's signature is much paler than that of the clerk, and the other writing upon it.

OLD BAILEY St,SSIONS-THIS DAY. —. , •da .-- ALLEGED LIBEL. Mr. 'fames Taylor was called on to plead to an indictment charging him with maliciously and mischievously publishing, in the Times Newspaper, of the Isth of June, a most wicked libel, touchin; the character of Mr. John Lacy Hawkins, one of the City Manhals' men. To this indictment the defendant pleaded that be was nut the publisher. Mr. C. Putt.Ltes opened the case. Mr. Atioarws addressed the Jury, and called Mr. Ferreday, the superintendant of the printing department of the Times Office, to ptove the authorship of the letter which had been put in and read. There was, however, a defect in the evidence, as Mr. F. after stating the situation he held in the Office, and the name of the Editor of the Paper, could go no farther than to state I he received it from the hands of Mr. Taylor, with a note from the Gentleman who conducts the journal. Some discussion ensued as to the reception of the evidence as to the authorship, when, The Recommit said, there could be no doubt but the paragraph was a most malicious and wicked libel ; but the plaintiff had under taken to prove the authorship of it; this he had failed to do, and the consequence was, a verdict must be returned for the defendant. The .Tury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Our Readers are aware that the above transaction arose in a dis pute between Mr. Taylor and Mr. Hawkins, on the occasion et the opening of London Bridge. SECOND TRIAL OF FREDERIC WILSON. This person, who, it will be remembered, stood indicted at this last Sessions, and whose case stood over until the present Sessions, charged with a forgery in the City of London, but who on his trial was acquitted, was again put to the bar, charging him, Frederick. Wilmot, alias Ogilvey, alias Cooper, with having on the 26th May ob tained, under false pretences, a promissory note for £350, and on the 21Ith of the same month, a like sum of .4'3.50, from Mr. Robert Cole, of Southampton, cabinet-maker. The facts of this case have already fully appeared in the Police Reports, consequently it is unnecessary to stare farther than that a considerable number. of witnesses were called, and the whole of the correspondence between the prisoner and the prosecutor gone through, from which it appeared, that he had obtained from the the latter the ts•ti promissory notes in question, on the express con dition that he would have returned wish for them, but which failing to do, the present'prosecution.was instituted. The RZCORDIR summed up the evidence to the Jury, who re urne4 a verdict of Guilty. Sentence.:—Transportation for 7 years. 'NEW COVET. Yesterday, Henry Greene:cm Whall was indicted for stealing twenty-four bundles of worsted, belonging to a person named Barlow, on the 18th of August last. It appeared that the prisoner bad entered the employ ment of the prosecutor, who is a general agent, at No. 4, Bull's Head-court, Newate-street, in May last, at a salary of 501. per annum. the prosecutor had occasion to leave town, but hearing something to the disadvan tage of the prisoner, returned and discharged him. On searching the house, he found that the prisoner had left behind him several boles, in one of which was disco vered a sample of worsted, and in his desk the beginning of an invoice running thus--- ,, Messrs. Block, Dr. c Samuel Block, dealer in worsted, in Newgate-street, could not swear to the person of the prisoner, but said he was very like a man who offered worsted for sale to him, and who stated himself to be agent of his father, a considerable spinner at Bradford. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said, that the fact of his having left the boxes behind him, was a circumstance in favour of his innocence.—He was found Guilty. Four other indictments were preferred against the prisontlf, on which he was acquitted. lie was then indicted for stealing some razors, knives,. and forks, the property of Mr. Harlow, and immediately found Guilty. The COIIMON•SIMJJUNT sentenced the prisoner to fourteen years' transportation. A boy named James Fraley, was indicted for picking the pocket of a Gentleman on Snow-hill. The principal witness was a youth named Morgan, who, when the case was brought before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, swore that he saw the prisoner take the handkerchief from the Gentleman's pocket ; now, when examined upon the same point, he said he was very sorry for what had happened, but that he was ill when he was at the Mansion.house, and did not know what he was about, for he never saw the prisoner pick anybody's poeket. After heating this singular declaration, and the sit ness still persisting in it, the COMMON-SERJEANT in formed the Jury, that as the whole case rested upon this evidence, they must acquit the prisoner. The prisone; was accordingly Acquitted. The Cosciaott-Saarwir then directed the officers to take the last witness into custody. After a few other eases, none of which were important, had been disposed of, the London Jury were discharged. Mr. Seryeant Alum took his seat in Conti at four o'clock, but no case of public interest came before hint for trial. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE arrived at Brussels on the 17th inst. and will remain some days in that city. Muaoza.—Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, the neighbourhood of George Yard, Whitechapel, ,was alarmed with the cries of murder, proceeding from No. 26, in the above yard.—lt appears that a woman of the name of Hunt, of abandoned character, had gone to the apartment of , a young man, an American, and a labourer is the London Docks, who, like her, lodged in the house, and attempted to get into his bed. A refusal on his part, caused a volley of abuse from the woman, who then proceeded to pull the bed-clothes off.—The man, much irritated, seized the head board; it is said, with an intention to strike her on the shoul4r, but the blow fell on her head, and caused her instant death,—The man has undergone an examination at Lambeth Street Office, and was afterwards conveyed to Clerkenwell Prison, to await the Inquest.. Thursday night, as the Hastings mail-rieh was passing through Tunbridge, it was overthroinit'at the lower part of the town, owing to a large quantity of manure having been left on the road.—The coachman, Pettitt and a Gentleman, passenger, !ere severely hurt ; the one )raving Eis leg, and the otter his thigh brokers.—'They were conveyed to the Angel Inn, near the Turnpike. Slot INTELLTIPEXCE. c. • - DONCASTER MEET I NG.—THURSDAT: The-decision of,theSt..Leger has given rise so the uspal variety of rumours respecting the sums won and lost on the occasion by individuals: One is said to have cleared £30,000, another more . than £20,000, a third nearly £25,000, and ses on ; but it is impos sible for us to say-what degree of credit these reports are entirla.! to : certain it is, however, that there are great winners as well as losers, and amongst the latter, Yorkshire will supply a very liberal proportion. We suspect too, that a considerable :neither hafts the • Land o' Cakes' are on the wrong side of the post. As is settling day is heavy enough, hut had any other horse won the '. Leger, it would have been fearfully so : against Lest the u.i.: have all along been so small, that the total of the !things, thari..i, great, is comparatively small. The knowing ones, on the wholt are considered to be all right, having laid against outsiders to a v.,.- amount; and one Gentlemau, remarkable for the extent of his spa - culations and the nicety of his calculations, must be a gainer to ih - tune of some thousands; he was heard to declare, about a man i since, that he had nearly 40,0001. against each of sever-. 1 hor,, , and against Alderman in particular he was exceedingly heavy. • The winning of this race by a Yorkshire horse and .a Yorksh.re jockey, gives additional strength te the often-expressed opinion, th a south country horse or rider cannot win in' the north, and • versa. Strange as this may appear, it is borne out by facts. Tn.- first of our Newmarket horses and jockies have contended for stakes at Doncaster, York, and other northern meetings, and they have almost invariably been beaten. Equally applicable is this re• mark to those from the North, for it will be rectaleatel that Mg. Lanibton has run several of his racers at the Newmarket meeting where they have been uniformly unsuccessful, and little Tornio;. Lye, one of the best and most fortunate jockies of the North. could add nothing to his reputation in the South. To account fur this, some have alleged that when a jockey appears on stranae ground, thoie who have been accustomed to the Coarse will Imo,. to prevent his winning. Amongst the many ways of expressing the St. Leger, it will sur prise our Readers when we state, that the most novel of all wa., that of dispaching the news to Manchester by dogs trained to hunt by trail. Since our last, the betting men have not been idle; the St. Leger of 1826 has already been speculated upon, as will be seen by rat, following statement of odds:-8 to 1 agst Lord •Kenoedy's fled !albite, by Welheck ;* 14 to 1 agst Mr. Wart's Brother to Barefoot, b Tramp ; 20 to I apt Lord Kennedy's King Cattnn ; 30 to 1 agsc Mr. Watt's Belzoni.
