The Sew carriage of the Lord Mayor Eled is ex tremely elegant ; the City Arms are moll exquifitely and confpicuoully painted on the pannels; the mount ing of coach and harnek is of Myer; ornamented in the fame manner. The only carriages belonging to Aldermen, that appeared in the proceffion, were thole of Sir C. Nice and Alderman Ht/NTER. EPIGRAM ON LATE EVENTS. Ship, commerce, celasiss, sad trade, 111 base, the vasielog tyrant cried: Neither, do slime Nam* fail: He turd his wank, test died! The amiable Vireo's:lief' Nseson ;I at Bath, fur sounded by her friends. Her Ladythip is on a if& to Admiral PHILLIPS and his Lady. On Thurcklay Lord Hawcustrar lent a letter to the Loan MAYOR requeking that the illuminations might be continued three nights. The Illuminations were laft night again repeated, but honeft and proper feelings of the public prevented them from being general. At the wea end of the town, the Admiralty, Horfe Guards, and Ordnance Office, were fnperbly decorated with ligbu. The /Lotion and India Houfes, Guildhall, ate. wore a brilliant appearance. Several individuals thawed at once their loyalty and their grief by appropriate de vices. Several houfes that illuminated for the viaory, de• corated their candles with crape, teftifying at once their joy and their farrow. Among the fplendid illuminations on Thurfday evening, in confequence of the glorious viaory over the Combined Fleets, we omitted to notice the hour* of ABRAHAM GOLDSIIII4 ].fq. of Finibury-fquare. The following words appeared in variegated lamps : " syjcire for mg Cousetry, hat Immo for my t*riend." _ _ The Duke of QUIEKSIORT was fo much affeaed at hearing of the diath of Lord Nassoa, that he was for fevcral minutes deprived of utterance. He has fence been unable to hear his name mentioned with out tears. Two thnnfand copies of tbe CasetteExtraordinary were difpatehed by Government, to be difperfed over various parts of Italy and Germany, to revive the drooping fpirits of the people after the late unexped ed fucceffes of the French Ufurper. Sir SIDNEY SMITH has repaid Commodore Roam tin his own coin. On Thurfday he fent a cutter over to the French coaft with the Extraordinary Gazette, containing the news of the victory over the Combined Squadron. He apologized for forwarding it by a boat having no one on board, remarki n g "that the late flag of truce he fent in, the officer was very be &card* detained." CITY WlT. —Some rabble being rather noify at the i.onfe of a man (of Cheapfide), who, with his family, had retired to reU, at the fober hour of ten o'clock, on the night of the illumination, he haflily role, and exY4ited, in a very few minutes, a board at his win v, ith thefe lines : Good Gendemas, why So loud do year ery ? Ah ! why would you wig me to light ? Poor Lord Meson is dead, And my wife ill a-bed; So I hope you'll untie me to-night. COVENT GARDP:4 THIEATRE.—The complimentary *interlude, entitled Wooer Glory, was repeated lad night for the third time. It has now atrumed a dra lnatic (lupe, and Has well adapted to the glorious, th.)ugh melancholy event it is defigned to celebrate, as any thing got up on the fpur of the occafirn could poiti:)iy be. The tong to the air of the Storm, in przife of the departed Hero of the Brian' Navy, was given bi Mr. lactinom with a degree of feeling and .ripretrien that thongly affeaed the audience. Some if the points in FAwctrl's fcng told admirably, par. olarly that la which the alluion is made to the in v.ll,-n. The audience appeared to relifh the prosa itoding over for the invaders. Many perfons of diftinaion were in the number of the •audi.mce, was very numerous, and they were not the lead forward in applauding this elegant tribute to the memory cf the proudeß boad of the Navy of England. Within tilde few nights feveral Earl India Ships at Blackwall have been plundered of lead and cop per Ihrnthing, to a confiderable amount. A number of perfons are in cuilody on fufpicion, who are to un dergo c-samination a: Shadwell office this day. Larl Thurfday night a 'sailer butcher, of the . name of Meyers, in Petticoat-lane, Whiteehapel, af ter -returning home from teeing the general illumina tion, dropt down in a fit before is family, and im mediately expired. A few days Since two countrymen, having a dif pute in the Borough Market, they came to blows, when one fell down dead ; the other abfconded, and Lis sot fume been beard of. TRIAL OF SIR JOHN LAMER.

July , alley. (Signed) WM. AYRES, Capt. D _ am the gsft (CVO Royal Has London Militia. The Earl of BANSURT was three hours under ex amination upon the fiat charge, that of miCreprefent- Mg the candua of Captain Areas to his Lordihips After the Noble Earl had gone through his evidence, the Court adjourned to this day. The Earl of BasmaLsaNs has been pleated to ap. point the Rev. Jona PROCTIR, B. A. of Brook-En& Hoare, Harts, and late of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, one of his Lordthip's Donteßic Chaplains. Wednafdpy fe'nnight bis Excellency Earl Motu, accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant, the vice Lieu- tenant, General MacKenzie, and Ogbati Oman, reviewed the regiments of Ayrthira cavalry, riflemen, and the firft volunteers, on the rant courfe, Ayr.— The day was very fine, and a great alemblage of company attended ; as alfo a number of officers, among whom we noticed General MACDONALD, who fo honourably diftinguithed hitnfelf laR war, la the Weft Indies, as alfo, in commanding the glorious fortie from Nimeguen. The troops went through their exercife and mancenvres in a Rile highly cre ditable. Saturday evening his Excellency the Bari of ?donut arrived in Edinburgh, from a vifit to Loudon Cattle. The remainder of the Northumberland Militia left Offpringe Barracks on Tuefday IA for Afhford, where they are to remain a few days, then to go to Ramfgate for winter quarters. Wednefday the Loyal North Britons being affetn bled in Gray's Inn Gardens, for the purpofe of being infpeded by Colonel Pm RIN son, fired a fen de joyg under the command of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Sussex, on account of the glorious viEtory obtain ed by the gallant Nsi.sow. After the three willies had been fired in the air, his Royal Highnefs ad vanced in front of the line, and taking off his bconet, gave three times three cheers, in which he was joined, not only by the Gentlemen then under arms, but by all the furrounding crowd, who all feemed to partici pate in the joy expreffed by his Royal Highnefs in the receipt of fuch pleating intelligence. Two hundred additional tranfports are raid to be engaged by Government, to complete the armament, the Bra divifion of which failed from the Downs on Tuefday lall. A few of them have already arrived, and more are expeaed every tide. The Pegafus and Romulus frigates, which lately came round from Harwich, are likewife intended for the conveyance of troops. A further embarkation, therefore. will, in all probability, take place in the courfe of a few days. The eth, wit, and gad regiments, from Col cbeller and Weely, together with General Moore's brigade, the 43d and sad, from Hythe, and a prong detachment of the Rifle Corps, now in Widmer Bar racks, will compote the fecond divifion. The num• ber of troops at prefent on their paffage is computed at t3,cco. The whole force to be embarked will amount, it is underftood, to 30,000. The determination of Bomar IRTIt to fend the Auf trian pt ;loners to be employed in agricultural labour, is an aft that prepares the way for a complete fall of civilization into a gate pf barbarifm more deporable than favage life. This aft is exaely confiftent with his treatment of the Auffrian prifoners Come years ago, wheri bride/ them to the Spanifb Government, to wear out a miferable life in working in the mines.— When we confider this conduit, and compare it with tie murder of Captain WRIGHT in the Temple, we may plainly fee that Bon spears means to affimilate his Government with the Ealiern defpots and the pira tical States. To this country he bears a peculiar antipathy ; and if it were pollible for him to obtain a footing among us, the (offerings of all other Oates under his gripe would be felicity, compared with what he would compel us to endure. DUBLIN, NOTEMBER S. The Setae of the Third William was lad week painted in the *foal manner, preparatory to the ce lebration of his birth and landing by the regulars, militia, and yeomanry. During the night of Satur day, however, the front of the figure was completely daubed with the contents of a tar pot. The perfons concerned in this wanton performance have not yet been apprehended—but it is furprifing that on a moon-light night they could have efcaped dete&ion. We heard it faid, indeed, that Tome men in the a& of afeending the pedefial. were challenged by a watchman, and that they laid they were ordered by a painter to put thefirryhicy coat on the fiatue againfl the next day. How far this Rory is cone& we do not pretend to fay. Yefierday, detachments from the military, and the following corps of yeomanry, ambled round the Itatue of King William : Royal Ramose South Circular Dead, aft Royal Dubb a Loyal Dublin (Deredurtra) ad Dltto. Dundrum, jd Ditto. Caftle Artillery. Alta a A= of the River &wades. The regulars fir(, during which time the yeomanry were placed in minim& lines on each fade of the Rivets leading from the Coale to St. Stephen's Green, in order to falute the grand cavalcade of the Court and City Magifirates, the Lord Chancellor, the Commander of the Dublin dißridt, ke, Sec. When the procelfioa returned, his Excellency Earl HARD. winos, deorted by a fquadron of the tyth light dra goons, proceeded to Phoenix Lodge, where feveral of the nobility were entertained at dinner. The troops of yeomen cavalry were entirely ab fent on this occafion, as were the following regiments of infantry : The Linen Hall Liberty Rargers Dkto Artillery Anoraks Merchants Latouches, and Lawyers College. The Liberty Rangers, we underfiand, received directions from their fenior Officer not to 'appear in uniform on yefierday. In the interval of the State Proceffion appearing in College Green. Tome arch wags, by way of amufe ment for the crowd, contrived .to drive a cow into the midft of them, which by goading and driving had been •forced into a Rate of madnefs, and . furioafly overturned feveral women and children, Tome of whom Mitred very kvere injuries. The remaining part of the light brigade of the line, confilling of the light companies of the 3d. 25th, 26th, 3oth, 45th , 47th. soth, 79th, and Bad regi meats, which were quartered at Bandon, marched into Cork on Thurfday in two battalions, one com manded by Lieutenant Colonel BARNS, the other by Major FAIVNLIISOI , and are to be forthwith at tached to their refpeitive regiments, at quarters. Thnrfday morning, the 3oth regiment anived in Cork from Limerick. One of the watchmen belonging to St. Andrew's Parilh was fired at by a ony 10// grotionan, lan night; who, not contented with lodging his aszassainea in the face of the noEturaal guardian, wounded him feverely in the head by repeated blows of a huge pifiol. A tratchman belonging to St. Thomas'. Peri& was that at near Tucker s•row, yefierday evening. We were this morning informed be died in confequence. Wednefday evening a confide:able degree of alarm was 41zeited among she inhabitints of Lapp's Maid, Cork, in coufequence of Tome hundred barrels of ammeiltios being depofited on the quay, preparatory to their conveying by lighters to the tranfports in the harbour. All apprehenfions of danger were, how ever, removed by the vigilance of the Mayor and Sheriffs, who Sktioned a fufficient number of feud nels to pretest the pollibility of accident 'from the pilfer of horfes, or from negligence of any kind in their neighbourhood. Friday morning feveml ammunition waggons and cars paled through Cork, efcorted by a part] of dragoons. The Duchefs cf ST. ALEAV'S drove her curricle from Ramfgate to London, laR Monday ; and, en this tide of Canterbury it was upfet ; but we are happy to Rate, her Grace was not injured. Her waiting maid, who accompanied her, was thrown out, and the wheel of the carriage pafed over her legs, but the did not receive any material injury. As the Dnke of St. ALaaa's was hunting, in Cant bridAefhire, loft Tuefday, he fell from his horfe, but happily was not hurt. On Monday lag, a Special Jury met at the Crown • Inn, Rochefter, to fettle the demands of the various claimants, whofe lands, &c. had been appropriated• by the Ordnance department, for the ufe of Govern ment, in the eredion of the Fortifications and Bar-- racks, at Chatham and its vicinity. The moR coati derable demand on the Board of Ordnance, was made by the Dean and Chapter of Roche(ler, who were awarded the fun of I 1,0001. a confederation for near ninety acres of ground, much of which contained valuable !Nick earth—moß of the other claims were arranged privately. In preparing for the foundation of the new chinch, at Lewes, it became neceirary to "lillurb the mould ering bones of the long defund ; and, in the profe eutinn of that unavoidable bufinefs, a leaden coffin was taken up, which, on being opened, exhibited the complete ikeleton of a body that had been interred about 6o years, whore leg and thigh bones, to the utter aftonilhment of all prefent, were covered with myriads of flies (of a fpeeies perhaps totally unknown to the naturalißs) as waive and thong on the wing, as gnats, gadding in the air, on the ineti evening in fummer. The wings of this noa-defcript are white, and, for dißindion fake, the fpedators gave it the name of the Coffin Fly. The lead was pc:fatly found, and preened not the lull chink or creme for the adiniffion of air. The isoillure of the fiefh had not yet left the bones, and the fallen beard lay con fpicuous on the under jaw. Mr. Frrz, of Pall Mall, attended at Blw- greet Office yederilay, in eonfequence of an information laid againft ltim by a Kr. Bell, for keeping a gaming houfe, but the informer not appearing, the defendant . was ditcharged. Mrs. NaLson, of Pall Mall, was acquitted under the fame &cisme:aces. Mr. Hog- LOWAT, who was in Court, made a long fpecch, in which he expofed the infamy of the pradices of a neR of informers, who alternately appeared habited as watcAmen and as gentlemen in cat tying on their proceedings.
