thitD MAYOR'S DAV: IThis being the day on which the new Chief Magis irate of the City of London, Alderman Garret, enters no the dntiqs of his office, the morning . was ushered in by the bells'of. the City Churches ring ing merry peals in honour of the occasion The stieets leading from the Mansion• House to Blackfriars' Bridge, were thronged with piers anxiously waiting to hail the new Lord Mayor, upon his accession to so high and honourable an bike. 114 Lordship was met at the Mansion-house, at ten o'clock, by several of the City Authorities, viz. the late sh a ds, Sir Peter Laurie and G. B. Whittaker, E.g. the present Sheriffs, Aldermen Brown and Key ; Alder. hien Sir James Shaw, Perring, Flower, Magna'', C. 'Solidi, Thompson, Venahles, &c. After partaking of a handsome collation, the Civic assemblage proceeded in grand procession along Cheapside, round St. Paul's Cathedral, down Luigate-hill, and along New Bridge 'street to Blackfriars'-hridge, where the magnificent Barge of the Goldsmiths Company was moored to the stairs, decorated with Rags and banners in profusion. l'he Band of the Coldstream Guards was stationed on board, and played the national air of God save the King, when his Lordship went on beard ; he was attended by several of the Aldermen, and the Members of the Gold smiths'Com pony. Thebat ge: of the Merchant-tailors and othera,werethen filled with their different Companies; the Civ:c.Body erisbaiked under a salute of guns from both Vatiks of " Old,Father Thames," and proceeded up the river to Whi . ehall-stairs. The watery outface was co vered with boats and cutters, filled with company, and hands of music kept constantly playing as the aquatic procession moved along, which had a very imposing and beautiful effect. The weather was extremely fine. The Procession landed at Whitehal!-;ta7rs under a salute of guns from the Stang ate shore, and being formed ashore amid the flourish of trumpets and the acclamations of the assembled multitude, moved on in the usual state to the Court of Exchequer, when the Learned Barons of that Court, attired in their official robes, re ceived his Lordship, and the usual forms and ceremo-, nies of counting the nails, cutting the sticks, signing the rolls and deeds, were gone through. After the usual reddresses and congratulations, the Lord Mayor pro ceeded to the other Courts, and invited the Judges to the ' grand Civic Banquet ; after which the authorities re turned by water to the place of starting, when the City cortege of Cavalry, men in armour, and the different Companies formed in procession, and with bands of Music, proceeded in state to the Mansion House, in the following order : ORDER OF THE PROCESSION: • Peace °Seers to clear the way.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Stft—So complete has been the failure of the Mac.; adamizing experiment on Westminster-bridge, that after having passed through the changes of taking up and pounding down the granite pavement, grinding it into mud, scraping it off, end mending it with new broken stones—it is now repaired like a country road, upon the old plan, with a lager of gravel! So the world goes round. This notable improvement, after a few monthe'trial, brings us beck to the olden tithes, and we have our streets as muddy and soft as they were in the time of Elizabeth. In spite of all this, aad although the inhabitants of Bridge-street and Regent-street com plain bitterly of the infatuation which converts their firm pavements into mire, still the destruction of the granite pavement in Regent-street goes on, and in its place a compost of broken stones, brick, rubbish, and all sorts of filth is offered to the Public. The Commissioners of the New Street have recently procured an Act of Par liament to enable them to do this and almost anything they like; but surely the inhabitants, who have paid enormously for the granite pavement, must have some means of redress left. The nuisance in Piccadilly con tinues intolerable.—l am, Sir, November 8,184. AN INHABITANT. 7'llE LOGAN STONE. -41,11. .-- tURTHER PARTICULARS. Extract of a letter dated Penzance, Nov. 6 The Logan Rock is replaced, and rocks as before: it was put up on Tuesday last, after three days'labour, by the help of three pair of large sheers, six capstans, worked by eight men each, and a variety of pulleys. Large chain cables were fa.tened round the rock, and attached to the blocks by which it was lifted. Altogether there were about sixty men employed. The weight of the rock has been variously computed, by different persons, at from 70 to 90 tons. On the first day, when the rock was first swung in the air, in the presence of about two thousand persons, much anxiety was felt, by those who were present, as to the success of the undertaking. The ropes were much stretched ; the pulleys, the sheers, and the capstans, all screeched and groaned ; and Lhe noise of the machinery was audible at some distance.— Many were very apprehensive lest so vast a weight might snap all the ropes, and tumble over the preci pice, bearing the sheers and scaffoldings away with it ; however, the whole has gone off with great success. —The materials (which were all furnished gratis from the dock-yard at Plymouth) were excellent, and inge niously managed ; and, though a rope or two broke, and a link of one of the chains tote away a small piece of an angle of the rock, which was thrown with much velocity into the sea, yet the rock was safely supported by its complicated tackling, and stands, once more, in precisely its former position ! Lieutenant Goldsmith, who threw it down, was the engineer in replacing it; and in the opinion of many of the Gentlemen of this town and neighbourhood, he has, by his skill and per sonal labour and attention, not only wiped away the disgrace to which he was exposed by throwing it down, but also acquired so much merit, that they are about to invite him to a public dinner at Pearce's Hotel. This seems to be going a little too far; since whatever credit he may have derived by replacing the rock, seems to be fully counterbalanced by the discredit of its wan ton demolition. It is understood that the expenses of this work are defrayed by subscription. Fifty pounds have been given by the London Geological Society." Private advices from Smyrna to the 22d September, state, that that place had been in considerable confusion in consequence of the excesses committed by a body of 1,200 Asiatic troops, who bad been encamped round the city. ASSASSINATION AT Ville ENNES.—The examination relative to this circumstance is still going on with ac tivity, and is far from being finished. The following is the statement of Madame Malservait. "On October 10th, the day of the assassination, at half-past eight in the morning, a Mr.,F— came to Madame Malservait, and asked her to accompany him to the country, where he had business? During the time that she made her self ready, he repaired to a neighbouring coffee-house to breakfast, and she joined him there. They set out at half-past ten. A short distance before reaching the crossing of the roads to Vincennes and to St. Maude, Mr. F— said he would rejoin Madame Malservait in an hour, in a coffee-house at Vincennes that he pointed out, and left her, he going towards St. Maude. She continued her route slowly, and after proceeding for some minutes, she observed a man was following her very closely, and examining her. She continued her route, and the man followed her, and-had not left her when she reached Vincennes. She went into a shop, thinking she should thus escape, but he was like her shadow, and remained at a short distance constantly looking at her. She left the shop and went towards the wood, and did not then see the man. But she had hardly embraced the two children, and proceeded a few steps, when the same man came up and said to her, " Do you know these children ? Why do you embrace them?" And he went away. This man was Papavoiae. Ma dame Mal,ervoit is positive in recognizing him. According to annual custom, the Lord Mayor Elect yesterday attended a Court of Aldermen, which was convened for the purpose of swearing him into office. The ceremony was performed on the platform, raised at the east end of the Hall, for the distinguished visitors at the banquet. The Chair of State was fixed in the centre of the platform, and seats were placed on each side for the accommodation of the Liverymen of the two Companies to which their Lordships belong, the Aldermen, and a number of Ladies. The Livery of the Goldsmiths' Company, to which the new Lord Mayor 'belongs, attended in their gowns. The Livery of the Frame-work Knitters Company, of which Alderman %Vaithman is a member, were also in attendance in their gowns, to receive their Alderman on his resigna tion. At three o'clock, the Lord Mayor Elect was conducted to the platform by his predecessor, attended by the Sheriffs, Aldermen, and the City Law Officers. The new Lord Mayor, after having taken the civic oath, took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, and was handed to the chair by the old Lord Mayor. The Chamberlain having presented him with the City purse, the seal, and the mace, the Sword Bearer advanced to the chair, and presented the sword, which his Lordship returned, and the Sword Bearer took it back with him to his former station. The new Idird Mayor (Alderman Garratt) then -received the congratulations of the late Lord Mayor, and of the other members of th,e Court of Aldermen. Ater the ceremony was concluded, the Aldermen and the two Companies went in cars jages to the Mansinn-house, where a sumptuous entertainment (tl:e Lord M t) or's farewell dincet ) was provided. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CII4.NCERY, NOVEMBER i Ex parte LATHAM, Ml THE MATTER OF LAritANt AND PARRY. __ _ His LORDMIIP wished to know whether he had got all the examinations in this case or not? If he had not, he wished to he furnished with any that he had not got. He observed. that Mr. De Tastet had exa mined the bankrupt personally himself, and that the examination On the other side had been concluded by experienced Counsel, before the Commissioners ; and it occurred to him, that several other questions might and ought to have been put in on the part of Mr. De Tastet, to which, however, he had no doubt satisfactory an-', swers could be given. His Lordship would be sorry to say anything which might tend to prejudice Mr.' Latham, but he considered that it would be better for that Gentleman's character and credit, that some fur ther questions should be put. Mr. MONTAOUg intimated that he would apply to his Lordship's Secretary to see the examinations which had been handed to the Court, and if the whole had not been delivered in, he would take care to furnish the remainder. If his Lordship wished the examination to be proceeded further in, he bad no doubt that would be the most satisfactory to all parties, and therefore duly attended to. COURT OF KING'S RENCEI, NOVEIIBER 8. RSV. MR. LLOYD V. DAVIES. Mr. Se: jeant PEA KE moved the Court to set aside the nonsuit which, in this case, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE' had directed at the Salop Assizes. The question was, whether the plaintiff) could recover from the defendant the a:nount of a bill of exchange, drawn by Miss Vaughan, and accepted by the defendant, which the plaintiffs now held, and cl*med as a security to them for bail given by them for a debt against Miss Vaughan, who died some time since? The Learned Judge had held that the plaintiffs could not recover upon this bill of 2001. The Loan Cuter Jessica was of opinion that the plaintiffs could not recover, because they had not proved that they had got posses sion of the bill before it fell due.—Rule refused. PRICE V. SULLEN. Mr. GURNEY moved to set aside the verdict for the defendant, and to hive a new trial granted. The case had been tried at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Jus tice. The plaintiff was a baker at Southend, and the defendant had been his attorney in an action for rent, in which he had been the defendant. His defence was a plea of minority, of which there was net evidence pre pared on the day of trial. For negligence in providing the necessary witnesses, an action was brought against the attorney, Mr. Bullen, in which Mr. Pearse, the attorney for the plaintiff in the action against the pre sent plaintiff, was the attorney. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he remembered the circumstances. It appeared doubtful whether, if the witnesses had been ready, the result would have been different. It was also doubted whether this latter action was not the attorney's, and not Price's. There was again some question whether the absence of Price's father to prove the minority, was not the father's own fault. At the trial it had been stated that Southend could neither sup port two bakers nor two attorneys. The Loan Cuter Junsca had no doubt that it was the action of the attorney.—Rule refused. THZ KING V. DI/MELD. Mr. ANDREWS moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up a prisoner of the name of Dudfield, in the County Jail of Surrey. He had been imprisoned upon a warrant from Sir K. Birnie, for uttering in Surrey, notes which had been stolen. Assizes and Sessions had passed over since the imprisonment, and the oath on which the warrant was issued was that of Jacobs, who was himself sworn to have been a principal in the robbery. On these circumstances, he submitted that the prisoner was entitled to be bailed. Loan Cuter Jusalte...—You had better take a rule to spew came. MAYNARD V. RHODE. This was an action on a policy of assurance on the life of Colonel Lyon. The defence was, that at the time of the insurance being effected, a fraudulent repre sentation of the state of the Colonel's health was made to the Company, upon proof of which a verdict for the defendant was given on the trial. Mr. ScAscrer now stated several grounds upon which he sub mitted that a new trial should be granted, but the Court refused to disturb the verdict. CONSISTORT COURT, NOVEMBER S. MONTAGUE V. DIONTAGUE. This was a suit for separation by reason of adultery, promoted by G. C. Montague against his wife, Mar garet Green Montague. the parties were married at Gretna Green in 1803, and in May last, Mrs. Montague cited hire husband in this Court for a separation by rea son of adultery. Mr. Montague is possessed of a life in terest in a considerable estate by virtue of his grand father's will, which on his death is to devolve on his male issue, and in default of which to his two sisters. Dr. ADAMS, on behalf of Mrs. Montague, said that if Mr. Montague should object to the validity of his mar riage, which must of necessity be proved before the adultery could be determined, and such objections were held valid, then the children, of whom there were three, would be declared illegitimate, and they would be de prived of their paternal property, which would go to Mr. Montague 's sisters. On the other hand, if the mar riage be held legal, then the property would descend in right to the children. The Court would therefore perceive, that Mr. Montague's sisters would be mate rially affected by the decision of the marriage, and he therefore hoped the Court would see the propriety of the sisters being made parties to the suit. Dr. ARNOLD, on behalf of Mr. Montague, opposed the motion. Such an application was without precedent; the case of the Marquis of Donegal did not bear at all on the question ; that suit was proceeded in nominally for a nullity of marriage, but it was in order to put the validity of the marriage in the course of trial ; the issue there was on the nullity or validity of the marriage ; here it was on the adultery—the cases, therefore, were extremely different—the issue to be tried of one was the' nullity or validity of the marriage ; of the other the adultery. In order to find a sentence of adultery, of course the marriage must he proved, but that was only an incidental point of proof, and not the grand point at issue. Mrs. Montague wished to bring into the suit certain persons whose interests Alight be affected by contingent events; but the Court surely would not en tertain so novel an attempt to convert the suit of adul tery into one of nullity of marriage. S:r CHRISTOPIteR IIcSiNSON said the case was cer tainly novel, and presented many inconveniences ; he would read the libel, and give his judgment on a future Court-days Death bath nothing terrible in it, but what lire bath nude so. •IPORT4VC Barri itb-ttoo3l, TATTEIISA LLS, NOV: 1!.

ARDO'I'SDON DOWN RACE. The annual Race on Abbonslon Down, for th 6 Cup, given by the Gentlemen of the Ilamvhire Hunt, to be run for by horses belonging to and to be rode by farmers in the district of the Hunt, took place last Tuesday, when four horses started. The first hest was won by Mr. Biggs s (of North Waltham) chesnut mare, and the second and third beats by Mr. Forder's (of Spar.holt) bay horse s consequently the Cup, which was a handsome and valuable one, was adjudged to Mr. Forder ; and the jockey whip to Mr. Biggs, as second best. Bets before starting were in favour of Mr. Trodd's horse, which 'hewed good blood, and is in every respect a valuable animal, yet he had not strength enough to Contend with the others. Although Mr. Moth's bay horse Was drawn after the first heat, the race was well contested. The weather proving very fine the Down was crowded with pedestrians, and there was a great as semblage of horses and carriage,. After the race upwards of SOO Gentlemen and farmers sat demi to an excellent dinner, at the Swan Inn, Alresford.

' I THE COLUMBUS. This so-much-talked-of vessel has at length arrived in the river. She was towed up yesterday morning from Gravesend, by the James Watt, Tourist, and Soho steam-boats, and at two o'clock in the afternoon was moored alongside-the East India hulk, off Mack wall. Like many other wonders of which so much has been said while at a distance, the Columbus loses much of her marvellous character on a nearer approach. Those who visit her in the expectation of seeing a stupendous structure, " to which one of our seventy-fours would appear as a cock-boat,` will find themselves seriously disappointed. Those who expect to see the latgest ship in the world, will naturally picture to themselves a ves sel, to which the hulk of one of our first-rates would 'be comparatively small, but in this also they will be deceived. The Columbus is unquestionably the longest ship ever seen in England, but her appearance in every other respect is far inferior to one of our large India- Nen: her construction is quite new for a iarge vessel ; she is fiat-bottomed, and her bottom two feet wider than tier deck; her planks and timbers throughout, are on a scale of thickness proportioned to her great length, and faitened together with a strength approachis.g nearly to that of a solid masse It is not true, as was stated in some accounts of her, that her cargo (red and white pine) was fastened into her timbers in the building. It is stowed away in the same manner as on board other ships timber-laden. Neither is it a fact that she is to be broken up as soon as her cargo is discharged; at least that is not the present intention of her prop ietors. In her masts, spars, and rigging, the Columbus presents an appearance not at all proportioned to her rate of tonnage; they are not larger than those used in a small frigate. On inquiry we learned that .he sailed much better than was expected—tacked and wore extremely well (which is very rare with fiat-bottomed vessels), and made but vcry little lee-way. In the course of her pas sage to Europe, she encountered very rough weather, and shipped seas so frequently, that the crew on deck could seldom keep themselves dry. The greatest dan ger to which she was exposed was from this circum stance; and, in anticipation of it, and of her becom ing water-logged, her round-house (under which were stowed her water and provisionk) was made stater-tight. About a month before her artied on this coast, she sprang a leak, and made a foot of water per hour, and it required the constant exertion Of the whole crew to keep Iser free. Nevertheless, on her arrival in the Downs, she had 11 feet of water in her hold. The crowds of persons who went to see her yesterday were very great, Some contented themselves with a view of her from the shore t those who chose to pay the high price of the boatmen got a heater view, and they who were content to pay two Ailing, additional, were allowed to go on board. This last demand, it is hut justice to the officers to say, was without their know ledge; or if they were aware of it, it must have been demanded with the view of preventing the vessel horn becoming inconveniently crowded, which it would be if all who sought admission were allowed on, board. The account which has already appeared in this Paper, of the size and tonnage of the Columbus was correct. She is 300 feet in length, 50 feet six inches wide, at d SO feet deep in the hold ; registers 3,900 tons, and has on board 6,300t0as of timber. Another vessel, belonging to the same proprietors, who, as well as the builder, are Englishmen, is now on the stocks at Quebec, which will be of the same. length, ,but ten feet wider, and fire feet deeper in the hold. :~ i AA, ~~
