The Llrd Mayor presided, by the late and present Sheriffs, by Mr. a P s c :ll.P. Mr. S. C. Whitbread, M.P. Mr. Butter worth, M.P. *c. &c. After the cloth was removed, As weal toasts of the King, and the other illtistsious ]/,tiers of the Royal Family, were given in succes- A kek with. three times three. Messrs. Taylor, Leete, lyes. Rvans;.and Muter Smith, gave the vocal accom paniments throughout the evening with suitable effect. age.. Sheriff •Baowss said , that he had the Lord awn permission to propose a toast. They had aiready paid i just and loyal compliment to the Royal *Pantily, and-the Army and Navy. He hoped he might be now to propose the health of their worthy Magistrate, who had discharged his public duties itzemplary fidelity, and who had, as a man, cer tainly a claim for his (the Sheriff's) private regard. They had often differed in public, but the candour which accompanied the animadversion, had stripped it of its appearance of asperity—(Applarese). His worthy friend bad never carried his political resentment be yond the thrisbold of the Court. He hoped thetom pany would allow him to drink, with three times three, the health of the Lord Mayor—( Applause). His Lordship's health was drank with three times three. The Lono.Maron, in returning thanks for the honour which the company had done him, said that he felt he, had a difficult task to perform in the discharge of his public duty. - His constituents had known him before he was honoured with his present office, and if he had redeemed the confidence theylad reposed in him, he was satisfied that he had performed his duty.• It wai not absays, according to the-poet, that a man could' " command ticcess," neither was it always sure that he could "deserve it." He , hosiever, had, both yesterday lit the Common Hall, and on this day, the satisfaction of kfrivring that there were those Who thought he had done his duty, He was glad of the cordial support of his worthy Mend who had proposed his health. They had before, and might again differ upon political sub .), cts ; but he trusted diet e would be no loss of f riendship between them. He had On one or two occasions spoken with something like asperity towards his worthy fliend, l but a few moments had elapsed before he felt it neces sary to extend to him his hand, and wish to forget these public collisions— (Applause). If thee cliffs:re:ices were not tolerated—nay, justified—there would be an end to the freedom of public discussion in. this country, the very valence of which was the liberty of thinking and expresssing opinions in a fearless manner—(Applause.) lie had already served the different gradations of civic office, and hoped, as long as health permitted, that his fellow-citiaens would always find him ready to be their zealous and devoted servant. The judicial duties of the stations through which he had passed were arduous, not admitting of the. absence of one day's attendance throughout the year. The conscientiousness, however, I of having actlfd .to the best of his judgment, console d ,him for every other consideration which ill health and the loss of time, in a personal sense, were calculated to . excite. He cm:eluded by thanking the company for the honour which they had done hint—( Loud Applape.) The Loss Maros then priiposed the heaths of the new Shads, with some prefatory observations Cu. ' so those academes. - Mr. Sheriff BROWNS, in returning thanks, took a to-' view of the duties of his office which he promised to discharge with contcientious fi delity.: He adverted to 'the complicated nature of the duties of the ihrievalty, and pledged himself to give to them his utmost atten tion. These duties were arduous from their judicial, and executive nature, and he fondly hoped that dill wonld find no exertion of his spared to give proper , effect to their performance. He had the satisfaction ef knowing his worthy colleague, and was assured of his, valuable co-operation—(Applause). Mr. Sheriff Kai, in returning thanks, declared that he entirely coincided with his worthy colleague in the view which he had taken of the duties of their office He hailed the favourable and most auspicious moment at which they had entered into their arduous office, and hoped that at the conclusion of their official duty, they would have to look back with complaisance at their past conduct, and to a just expectation of deserving a con• tinuance of that confidence of their fellow-citizens which they had now in courtesy received. He begged to thank the company for their presence at this din ner—(Applause). The Loin Maven proposed N the health of tie Lord Mayor elect," to whom he addressed a ennoble coasididrent. Mr. Aide! man GA slur? said, that in obedience to' the desire of his fellow-citizens, he had within a few, years quitted the bosom of private life to undertake the duties of a civic station. All he could say was, that he felt the importance of the trust reposed in him, and could conscientiously promise that no efforts of his would be wanting to deserve the continued confidence of his tellew-citizens in the new and more honourable situation which they had now confided to him. He could only reiterate to them the assurance of his un feigned zeal and unabated desire to perform the duties of the office which they had so lately intrusted to him, 'in such a Trimmer as was calculated to preserve the good opinion of his friends and fellow-citizens at large. The Loan•Maroa then proposed the health of the new " Baron" (Henry 'Janke'. Eq. M.P.). The Crmstron BARON, in returning thanks, declared that be con sidered that to be one of the highest of his official privileges, which gave him an annual opportunity of meeting the official personages of the Corporation of t h e. City of London—(Applause). • The Loan Diaroa neat proposed the heard} of the " Aldermen above the Chair ;" and Alr. Alderman Amin , retur thanks. His brawn, next proposed the heallhiof the AWatam below the Lltair."-..Mr. Alderman Van yea returned thanks. The Loan Memos proposed the bed* of the Common &rinse (Thomas Destines, EA. MP.), upon whose judicial conduct be prows steed a warm eldogy. The Cosmos Szaazitter, in returning thanks, begged to disclaim the merits attributed to him by the cordiality of friendship, with which he was honoured by the Lord Mayor: he was, however, deeply sensible of the flatter ing mark of respect which echoed these sentiments of friendship from so large a portion Of his fellow .. citizens, for such he was entitled to Call thent—(Lotid Anlastie).—ale still must be permitted to feel that he owed something of these cordial and gratifying testinso nials not alone to the pristine friendship of their worthy - Chief Magistrateirbut to the larger and equally cordial coincidence of their political sentiments—(Applastse). It was not, he hoped, too much for met who had long embraced these sentiments now to advert to them with' something like self-approbation, when they found thee who had been their political opponents claiming credit and popularity from pursuing the steps of reduction and economy which they had so long recommetded— Appiousc).—.With reference to their civic festivals—at *lush the present was so complete an examplea:-he had • , . . only to ezeres his obectial satisfaction at haviig the nour of being present at their umbel occurrence. T_ afforded the people an opportunity of participating The prictical enjoyment of. their privileges—of placi in the hands in which they liked the local power of th Corporation. The splendour and munificence or ifvic festivals most always yield to the mpral influence of their practical effect. They gave the ropie the Op poriunity of plicing in a prominent-situaties‘ the objects Of their choice; and while the City of London main 'tained its liberties, there was some security for the gene.' rat liberties of the people at large—(Applasise).—n e felt ] 'fortunate in having been the object of their choice iq the situation in which they had 'placed him ; and' he hoped, that if since his possession of office in the Corporation heitad acquired some addi tional claim to the iupport of his friends, he had also sheWn those who' had originally . been his opponents from the best motives of partiality to others, that he had laid some claim for their confidence from the nun ner he had discharged the duties entrusted to him. Mr. Won-nixes stood up and said, that he felt most sensibly the honour which his fellovr.cftisens had done him—to their kind par tiality be owed his free and unsencited election to so distinguished an other as that of Sheriff oldie city of London, and he hoped that he bad acquitted himself in a manner not unworthy their unani mous assent —(Applause.) He came forward with the fun deter mination to do his duty, and he had done it to the utmost of his power. lie trusted that neither the dignity nor importance of the once had been impaloodin bls fiwkda, pod it now only remained fur him to.expreu his hope the, she eetepany would continue their festivides and prolong tht tar boar, While he sincerely j.hanked them for the very kind manlier in which they had received the t oast —( pplause.) The Loan Metal(' next peemed the health* of the late Sheriffs. Sic Passe Leonia sahl o theek,setking with his worthy colleague, who bad just spoken, flows detebeirraity. be felt with him the gra titude which be owed his fiffieshokixens for the continuance of their cordial support. Having discharged his oScial duty, he hoped with propriety; and was Nattered by now finding with thanks, he had now tit say, that in a few days be would be many hundred lehrits &salt front them ; the .remembrance of their kindness would still remain, and be could exclaim, in the language of the poet— Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, " My heart, untravelled, fondly turns to thee"—(.liliouse). The usual civic toasts followed, and the company sat until a late hour, in the enjoyment of a festival kW which everything was soniantly provided. SWEARING IN OF THE SHERIFFS. Yesterday, pursuant to ancient custom. the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor Elect, the Sheriffs. the City' Law Officers, and other Members of the Corporation, went in State to Blackfriars-bridge, where they em. barked on board the City Barges, and proieeded to Westminster: having landed, they walked in procession along Westminster Hall te the Court of Exchequer for the purpose of having the new Sheriffs sworn into Alkce. —Mr. Baron Bankes (the new Cursitor Baron) re ceived the Corporation. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs Elect, and the Recorder, having advanced to the Bar, the latter Gentleman ad dressed his Lordship: He bad the honour, he said, to present, for the purpose of being sworn into office, two Gent'ennui _Anthony Browne, Esq. and John Key, Esq. who had been chosen by their fellow-citiiens to fill the Shrievalty of the City.of London and County of Mid dines. The.liecorder thee proceeded in a long speech toenutnerate the qualities necessary to inspire the citi zens of London with sufficient confidence in the indivi duals they. appoint to this high ante, all of which were concentrated in the Gentlemen abovementioned. He then adverted to the conduct of the late Sheriffs, George Byrom' Whittaker. Esq. Ind Sir Peter Laurie, Knt. while in office, which has received the warmest appro bation of the citizens, assembled in Common Hall. Mr. BATOR Bankes then directed the usual oaths to be taken by the late and' present Sheriffs, after which, the ceremony of counting the horse shoes and nails, and chopping the sticks, took place. Ralph Lindsay, Esq. was sworn le as Deputy Bailiff' for the Sorostglr of Southwark for the year ensuing. The Coot then broke up, and the Lord Mayor, &e. returned to the City it the sane state as before. . A letter from Paris states, that the Emperor of Amu will certainly visit Paris and Italy next spring. It is also said that the Prussian Ministry, in their alarm of the revolutionary principles professed by the Students of the Universities, who have been expelled, have sent a circular round to all the Managers of. Theatres in Prussia, forbidding them to receive into their companies , any Student who-Imi been expelled, or who has studied in the secondary Colleges. An arrangement has been made byte Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, fot the payment of the Out-Pen sioners of that Hospital in future at Oxford-market, instead of at Chelsea, as heretofore. For this purpose the Cottimissioners hate taken a lease for seven years of ,the large Hall in the centre of the market, which has been fitted up for the , above use, for which it is pecu liarly adapted, on account of its spaciousness, and also as having four distinct entrances . The new place will be broutht into operation for the first time to-morrow, when the quarterly payment of the pensioners commences. Many inquiries have been made as to the cause of `death of the Lottery'. Ileums and Co. dank it a decided case of Cunessesptiss, judging from the unprecedented eagerness with Which people' Sock to their Offices 5, Cambia, and 150, Oxford-etreet, doubtless recollecting that lire was sold in Shares, No. 961, tbe grand Prize of ..010,000.

About. three weeks ago, James Thorpe, a Gne boy neatly five years old, son to Mr. Thomas Thorpe, ship carpenter, of Blackwell, suddenly disappeared from home. As the boy had been =in the habit of following his father to the river-side, it was at first appiehended that he had fallen into the water and perished ; search was made, but no tidings could be had of the poor boy for two days, when the child's mother happening to mention the circumstance at a neighbouring public house, the bar-maid stated that she had seen young Thorpe on the evening of his disappearance, in com pany with a strange woman, and an itinerant tinker, who were subsequently traced to London, having taken a boat for the Tower-stairs, at Blackwell, and bioughe the boy back with them. The poor father, by dint of infinity, and the offer of a considerable reward, at length got some intelligence of the route they had taken; which was towards Islington, and at a house much fre. quented by those travelling gentry, he obtained further intelligence of the man and woman as described by 'him, but none of ihe ll boy. The woman was said to have quarrelled with her companion, itho was then out, dis posing of his merchandise, and the former had, in the intaiim, carried away the. boy somewhere towards town. However, as the tinker had left a donkey in the field, it was presunied he would return to take it away, and Mr. Thorpe was advised to wait his arrival, as it was most probable he might be compelled to disclose' the woman's haunts, of at. all events be made to assist' in the recovery of the child. Agreeable to expectation, the tinker returned to the usual rendezvous at night, in tending to take to the road at an early.hour on the fol lowing morning. Mr. Thorpe being apprised of his arrival, procured the assistance of one of the local con stables, and took the fellow into custody at first he seemed to deny all knowledge either of the woman or child, but being threatened with pioseCution for abet ting is the crimedre confessed everything. The-we man's name was Margaret parker; she had been for some years an active member in the celebrated gipsy gang that are known tie infest the toad from Hounslow 'to London, but from decrepitude and age, combined with many external canes, she had latterly abandoned the fraternity, and become kidnapper,• having carried' off several , children with the view of inducing the parents to offer large rewards for their 'restoration, and when that has.failecl, she generally disposed of them to her old confederates, wno put them to the torture untg they acquired:a certain degree of agility in dancing and tumbling on the_road side, so as to attract the notice of passengers. From the tinker's statement, it appeared that he was not at all cannected,in the business, except occasionally meeting the old harridan in the outlets. On the following morning he accompanied Mr. Thorpe to London, and the latter having availed himself of the assistance of the police, proceeded to a wretched hovel in Fox's.court, St. Giles s, where this dealer in human Bash generally resorted. The woman of the house, who was the very prototype of the one sought for, denied having any knowledge of such persons, but the officers being resolved not to take her word for it, pro ceeded to search the house, when in one of the upper apartments they discovered :the princip . al object of their inquiry—poor little Thorpe, in a state of wretched ness that would have melted to compassion the mast obdurate heart. Worn to a skeleton by hunger, his little limbs exhibited au alternate shade of red and blue' stripes, as he lay stretched on a truss of , foul straw, with the tattered remnants of an old petticoat by way of covering. When restored to the arms' of his father, the miserable infant became so frantically overjoyed, that he was almost instantaneously attacked with con vulsions ; and if it had not been for the prompt efforts of surgical skill, there is little doubt that his sufferings and his life would have terminated together. The woman (if we may call her one) to whom this crime is fully traced, had gone out on one of her pre datory excursions, and therefore for the present escaped apprehension. HUSSAR FRiCIATE.—We understand that the cO7panyi who have been employed for several weeks in aising the British frigate Hussar, which ran on the rocks in Mel Gate, and sunk, diming the 'revoluticinari war have succeede), in raising about forty feet of the, stern part of the ship. After placing the chains under her, and moving her from her bed, she broke in two from the keel up through the, quarter ciecke and the fore part of the ship slipped from the slingt, and settled down again on the rocks. The timber of such part of the ship as was embedded in the mod is perfectly sound. The remainder is completely worm-eaten and rotten.

All these men had received cuts or bruises while employed on African teak wood I and though some have attributed the deaths to atmospheric influence, there are not a few who assign them to the reception of the poisonous juices of the - abovenamed timber. Of these men, a shipwright, Gregory Nichols, a remarkably powerful and active man, scratched his leg against a piece of the wood, and mortification ensued almost immediately. A para graph which lately appeared in the papers, attributed the deaths of several men near London to the cause mentioned here ; and if on examination the wood should be found to possess deleterious qualities, we trust that the use of it will be discontinued. Since writing the above, it is said that Rawlins, a shipwright, living at New Passage, and who had slightly scratched himself, is dead, and that another, residing at Terpoint, is at the point of death from a similar cause.—Fiindelfs Wes tern Litiiiinftrg.
