Yesterday was, the day appointed for the solemn ceremony of the confirmation of the election of the Bishop of LONDON to the' Archiepiscopate f CANTER.. BURY. The ceremony, like these consequent on the elections of the Suffragans of the same Archdiocese. took place in the ancient Church of St. Mary de arcubus (Bow Church, Cheapside), so called because it firmerly stood upon arches, and here the ancient Archiepiscopal Court of Canterbury was held, *hence the present ap pellation of the Arches Court. The cone d'dire, it will be remembered, appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday week, and the Dean and Chapter of the Metropolitical Church of Canterbury having proceeded to the election of the Right Rev. Fa ther in tiod, Dr. WILLIAM HOWLEY, Bishop of London, pursuant to his Majesty's permission contained in a letter of recommendation, with the ROYAL SIGN MA NUAL, the election was certified to his Grace, and he having consented to accept it, both these preliminary steps were certified to his MAJESTY, who gave his as sent to the nomination, under the Great Seal, which was exhibited to four Bishops specially appointed for the purpose, with the Royal commands to confirm the new Bishop. The Bishops subscribed to their “fiat colfir nuttio,' and gave a commission under their respective Episcopal Seals, to the Vicar-General of the Arch diocese of Canterbury, to perfect the confirmation of the Archbishop Elect. 'These preliminary steps, which are not generally known, took place last week, when the Vicar General (Dr. ARNOLD) issued his citation, summoning all op. posers of the election to meet yesterday morning at Bow Church, and show cause, if any they could exhibit, why the election by the Dean and Chapter of Canter ;bury should not be confirmed. This was dOne by the appointUsent of the Arches Court on Friday, by pro. clanriation three times within the Church, and a notice of the same sort affixed to the Church door, and an authenticated certificate presented by him to the Bishops appointed to confirm the election. At a little before eleven o'clock, his Grace the Arch-' bishop Elect arrived at Bow Church in his carriage, and immediately the beils of Bow Church rang out a merry peal. Soon after the arrival of his Grace, thel Bishops named in the Commission arrived, accom panied by Dr. ARNOLD, the Vicar-General of the Arch-I diocese of Canterbury, Drs. Pummistous, Lee, and' DODSON, and the other officials of the Archdiocese. The Commissioners under the Great Seal were—the Bishops of WINCHESTER, who wore his rioand as Pre late of the Order of the Garter, CHESTER (the Bishop of London Elect), CHICHESTER, GLOUCESTER, and ROCHESTER, the oth:ial Sub-Dean of the Archdiocese. There were besides twelve Proctors in their robes, Dr. GOODENOUGH, Head Master of Westminster School; Dr. Vera, Chaplain to the late Archbishop; and a number of Clergymen, who wore Prebendal scarves. They remained some time in the Vestry room ; dor ' ing which Dr. ARNOLD, who acted as Proctor for the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, exhibited his proxy hum that body, and then presented their return to the conge trelire, in which they declared they had elected Dr.Wiwais Howley, Bishop of London, to the Archi episcopal See ; and having returned the citation, desired that if any persons opposed the election they might now be called on to come for ward and state their reasons. The Court was then adjourned into the Church. They entered as follows : The Archbishop Elect, with a small blue covered book in his hand, containing the prayers and ceremonies for the occasion. His Grace toot his seat in one of the centre pews alone—ibex fol lowed the Apparitor of the Court of Arches—next, the Bishops of Winchester, Chester, Chichester, Gloucester, and Rochester, and to their Idsrdships succeeded the Doctors, Proctors, and Clergymen. On arriving in the Church, part of the Morning Service was read, and a special collect for the new Archbishop. The Bishops Commissioners then lefrtbeir pews, and took their seats round a table in the middle aisle. The Bishop of WINCHESTER, presiding in an armed chair, with his back to the Altar, read the appointment under the Commission from the Great Seal, and sake other documents. The Proctor of the Dean and Chapter then preonted: himself at the end of the table, and said, Lattiod, as proxy for the Dean and Chapter Otlise Carnet:ha i l Orrirch of Canterbury, and present to your Grace (addressing the new Archbishop), a certificate of your being elected to be Archbishop and Pastor- of the said See, and pray that your Grace will be pleased to give your assent to the said election." The Proctor then gave in to the Registrar of the Court a summary petition, wherein the whole previous process of election and assent (,n the part of his Majesty and the Archbishop Elect was contained. This having been read, he prayed that a time might be appointed to prove it. The Bishop Of WINCHESTER adMitted the petition, and declared for its being proved immediately. The Proctor then proceeded to exhibit the Royal As- sent, with the elected Archbishop's consent to his elec tion, iind also his Majesty's certi fi cate to the Bishops, and desired a term to be at once assigned to hear final sentence, which the Bishop declared (or immediately. The Proctor then desired that all opposers of the election or its confirmation shall be publicly called. After these ceremonials had been gone through, the Archbishop elect, in a loud voice, made the following declaration : "In the name of Gop, Amen. 1, WiLL/AY HOWLRY, by divine permission, Bishop of Loewe, regularly and lawfully named and elected Archbishop and Bishop of the Cathedral and Metropoll tical Church of C 111114; Canterbury, and to accept of such election of myself and my person, so as is made, and celebrated on the part and behalf of the Reverend the Dean and Chapter of the said • Cathedral and Metropoinical Church of Canterbury, earnestly requested and entreated, trusting in the clemency of Amour: Gon, do accept of such decant' of myself and my person, so as is premised, made and celebrated to the honour of Ausioury Gon, Etrlllll l / 2 Sow, and Hoir Gaon, and do give my assent and consent in this writing to the election, being once and again asked and entreated. thereto." The Paocron then prayed that their Lordships would be pleased to take upon themselves the duty cf the con firmation, and to decree that it be proceeded in accord ing to the form of the letters patent, and the exigency of the law. The Bishop of Wncnrsern, in answer, replied in the name of himself and his brothers, that in obedience to the command of the Sovereign, they would take upon them the duty of the Confirma tion' and accordingly declared that an actuary should be appointed in their behalf. The Proctor then presented to their Lordships the Archbishop, and said, •' I hereby do judicially produce his Lordship." His GIiACS then presented himself at the foot of the table, and kneeling administered to himself these oaths, viz. " A disavowal of any belief in Popery, or the power of the Pope ; L isle km belie( is the Holy ficriptures, and his decluatiee faithfully to peal& over the See to wilds be had been elected." Letters teatinsonial were then made out, and the procession re. 'termed Into the Atwell In the same order as they had entered.— i'fbe kik ring another peel as his Grace and their • Lordships departed. CHELTENEI AM, Allet 14.

Harriet Ditt• On the Bth inst. a field of oats was cut down on the estate of Lude, Perthshire, belonging to Mrs. hklnnoy. In consequence of the late heavy rains, the country between Ethan) and Lewisham is completely flooded. For half a mile between these places, the road is one continuous skeet of water, varying in depth from one to two feet. At Lewisham the river Ravensbourne has overflowed its banks, and spread itself across the main road over its adjacent meadows. The lower parts of several houses are full of water. The oldest inhabitants say they never knew so heavy a•flood before at this season of the year. Monday afternoon a girl was sent to a Laboratory upon theshore, for a small qiiantity of the tincture of rhubarb, for an infant child of a respectable publican, in tsernard•street, Leith: The medicine was adminis tered, which shortly produced symptoms of an alarm► ing nature, and led 'to the discovery, that instead of rhubarb, the tincture of opium had been given in a *mistake by the surgeon's boy. Notwithstanding every effort the child expired in the evening. The door of one of the stage coaches (which runs to and from Loudon and Bath) having been neglected to be fastened it Hungertord, a few days since, a child which had been pitviously amusing itself by looki ig *it of the window, soon afterwards fell, head foremost to the ground, and . olfe of the wheels going over it, caused its almost instanlineous death. The feelings of the mother, who was Wivelliug with it, may be-con ceived, but we will not atainpt to describe them. What adds to the calamity is, dhit considerable property de• peuded on the life of the child. EQOII4IIIIAN AlROSTATlOn.—Yesterdayevening Mr. CIIAIL► made his 100th ascent in his balloon, Quest from the Iyhtte Conduit-gardens, Pentonvi e. the weatliir being fine, several thousands of persons as. sembled in the neighbourhood of White Conduit-house, though at one time considerable fears were entertained that the usual • car would be affixed to the balloon, and that the aeronaut 'you'd only ascend in the ordinary Manner. • However, at six o'clock, the little pony which recently ascended with Mr. Gneiss from the Eagle tavern, was led into the ground, where, after exhi biting -bis .usual feats at the command of his master, to whose patrons he paid the most respectful obeisance, he was placed on his platform, and the apparatus by which he was attached to the machine was fastened to the net work, and at half past six o'clock the aeronaut having stewed the grappling iron, and every prepara tion being , completed; the word ." away" was given, and the machine being disincumbered of its *eight, bounded off with theivelocity of lightning in a south easterly direction, and in a very short space of time was lost in the distance. The poor animal seemed much alarmed whilst .soaring above the heads of the numer ous spectators, many of whom appeared to entertain strong doubts of the aerial traveller ever reaching terrafirma in safety, although every one seemed highly gratified with the novelty of their situation. Thursday evening a serious disturbance took place in Union -court, Orchard -street, Westminster. A„soldier belonging to the 2d BottaMtn of the Colditriarn Quards had been beating a wonsiut, At a bow in the 'alAve court, and a girl, named -Charlotte, interfering to pro tect her Irons the soldier's violence, he diked a knife, and stabbed her in the forehead. The cries of the poor girl brought another soldier, names Carrots, to the room, who • remonstrated with: Brnith on his conduct; but another soldier, soldiers pawed. Macdonald, took Smith's part ; and a P. l lO 04101,101* place between . Macdonald and Catrots, they'went into the Court to decide the mat ter by allagilistic 'Zbysiest. Macdonald, however, was beaten iwthe battle, and they returned into the house. They had been there but a short time,. when Macdonald seized his opponent, threw him down, and kneeling upon his body, drew a knife from his pocket, and stabbed him in different pans of 'the body. Assistance soon arrived, and Carrots was conveyed to the hospital, when it was' discovered that be had received twelve different stabs on the face, neck, and ribs, one of which, in the left side, was of. a dengerons nature, and be nowlies in a preca rious state. Macdonald was taken into custody, and conveyed to the guard home. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, Ammer te. Crest Covar—Hetere Lord Twessoms. REX V. PXBUS. This was an indictment at the instance of Sir Sohn Browtle, the superintendent of the Maidstone barracks, for an alleged nuisance in tie making aad burning of large clamps of bricks in a field immediately in the rear of the barracks, and whereby it was averred con siderable annoyance and inconvenience were occasioned to the soldiers stationed there. The case excited very great interest in the town, and the Court was crowded by persons anxious to hear the details ; but to their disappointment, no eooner was the case called on than it was announced that the parties had entered into an arrangement, by which it was sti pulated that for the future the defendant was not to erect any clamps of greater dimensions than thy one then in the field, and those only in that part Of the field farthest from the barracks. Upon these terms the prosecutors agreed to offer no evidence (or the prosecu tion, and a verdict was accordingly taken by consent for the defendant. I.IILOATE V. KELLEY AND GOODIN°. This was an action to reco►er damages for an illegal distraint. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case. The plaintiff te nanted a cottage, of which the defendant Kelley was the proprietor. The other defendant was an auctioneer at Lenham, and had been employed to make the dis tress now complained of. The distress was made for 71 being double the amount really due. The plaintiff made a tender. of the rent due, but it was refused, and possession was takeh of the goods, 'and held for 14. days, after which they were sold by .public auction. The charges madefor the levy, the possession, and the sale, were all of thenf beyond the amount allowed by the Statute, and it was for these irregularities, as well as for the injury sustained by the sale of the goods, that the present action was brought. Thomas Golding was put in possession of the, goods by the defendants. By their directions he seized goods to the amount of 501. and retained possession of the tatrit.for 14 days. A public sale then took place. The flldintiffdid net give them permission to remain in pqa sitiSioni4 daiys. He said - they might do as they pleased, he ihotildnot interfere. The plaintiff tendered a lot. immediately on the distress being made. 'Elizabeth Sibear deposed that the defendants had dis trained for 71. on the ground that they were entitled to double refit: The defendants offered to accept 81. IQs. on the morning of the sale, if the plaintiff would pay all expense's and give np possession of, the, cottage. These terms were refused. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, for the defenclants,.adMitted that no legal answer could be given to the case prisied, but submitteithat very litilUreal injury had beets sue. Wired, and as the defendants would have to pax ibeet.l penses of the action, nominal damages wouldjoitla much as the Jury ought to give. .Lord TENTBRDEN briefly summed up. The defen dants had acted illegally in every respect, and were re ' sponsible for their conduct. The Jury would consider hthe case cilMly, and 'give such moderate damages as its justice required. Verdict for the plaintiff-:-Daniages 20/. • ' JEFFIRET'S This was an action to recover the sum of 1,1151. at. I*.d to have been imtiroperly paid tottie defendant,. he plaintiff sued as the representative of the corpq ration of Chatham. The defendant was one of thf 'gnardians of the poor of a parish in Chatham. From the statement of the Counsel in his opening speech, it appeared that under the will of a Mr. Watts, certain estates were bequeathed for the purpose of pro viding poor travellers passing through the town of Rol chester with a night's lodging, a supper, and 4d. in !none' the next morning. All travellers of the description q question were to be importuned to accept the above ac = commodations, with the exceptioti of .. rogues and tore." The claimants were not numerous, and the e4aies having improved in value till they reached a net venue of 2,0004 per annum, a question arose as to . the mode in which the surplus was to be applied. An ap peal was made to the Court of Chancery, and the funds in the meantime allowed to accumulate. That Conti at last decided that the funds should be divided betweep the contiguous townships, Chithanit taking two shares, St: Nicholas 20, St. Margaret 6, and Stroud 4. Undue this decree, 1,115/. was paid over to Mr'. Jeffreys, the Treasurer of the Guardians of . the Poor ,of Chatham, and was by him transferiedsto the defendant, who is the Chairman of the same body. The Corporation ot Chatham being of opinion that the money ought to be. paid to them, petitioned the Court of Chancery, and the result was a fresh decree in their favour. Applicatiok seas in consequence made to the defendant to refund, the money, which not being done, the present action, era's brought. For the defence, it was, s contended that the action could not be maintained, as by the local Act which created the guardians of the poor for Chal!iam, it was enactad.thia'ihey should only sue or be sued through, their treistittir. Lord TiNTEILDEN held this objection to be fatal, and, the plaintUes it t consequence nonsuited. Caws am—Before Mr. Baron 6 4 550 w, William Johnson and - Christopher Storey were char. with stealing a pair t f candlesticks, the property 4:: William Lawes, of Nortbfleer. %..It'appeared that the prosecutor kept a public house., called . the Leather Bottle; and on the day in quest;On, the prisoners came in and called for a pot of porter.— After they were gone, the candlesticks were missed from the room wheie they sat, and a pursuit being ' made, they were overtaken, with the property in their possessors.. Verdict—Guilty. Wein qld offenders, they were sentenced to seven years transportation. 'ielhiess Castle, Richard Hart, and G rover, 'ireill:irked with burglariously entering the ware ; hen's; of Mr. Sharp, at Peddenden, and stealing therein several guns, and other articles, his property. It appeared the warehouse was entered by picklock keys, and the next morning the prisoners were appre hended on the highway, with the stolen property in their possession. They could give no satisfactory account how they came by it. In our paper cf Thursday we gave an account of the trial and conviction of John Burgess, for receiving a stolen horse in the year 1826. As the circumstances . which led to his apprehension are rather curious, and more especially as they are calculated to effect some moral good, by teaching bad men that when they as. sociate ifierriselves with others fo r th e comm i ss i on o f illegatacti, besides the other chances of detection, they are always in danger from the treachery of their own • . companions, we give them insertion. It appears that a notorious horse-dealer„ named Cutts, has recently been convicted and sentenced to transportation for three several terms . of fourteen .years, .for receiving stolen horsei. Finding hii.Own case hopeless, he hit upon the expedient of writing circulars to various persons whom he had betn instrumental in robbing, offering them every information, on payment of a certaiu sum of money, I
