COIT I OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, Nov. 9. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. TIIL KING V. MERRYMAN AND OTHERS. Mr. SCARLET? moved for a criminal information, tailing upon the defendants to shew cause why a cri. ',anal information should not be exhibited against them. r I support of his motion the Learned Counsel read the affidavits of Jlr. Thompson , the Mayor of the Cinque Nil rt ) e, and of the Town Clerk of that Port, stating that the uwal day of election for the Mayor, Tuwn Clerk, Ste. of that borough, had been, for some years, the last Sunday in August, but by a late regulatiOn of the Corporation, the day of election had been altered to the last Monday in August.— On the day previous to the last Monday in August last, about 69 or 70 freemen presented themselves to tike the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, and having taken the oaths, elected the defendants to be Mayor, Tvn Clerk, &c. of the borough. On the folowing t:ei the Mayor and the other Members of the bot ()ugh tinted Mr. Thompson and others Mayor, Town Clerk, iLt. for that borough, according to the charter. On the tat Court day Mr. Whine', one of the defendants, :waded, and protested against the election of the norm and Town Clerk, and insisted that the Town should be given up to the defendants, who bad ken previously elected; bur, upon Mr. Thompson's (the Mayor elect) threatthat the person disturbing the price:dings of the Hall should be committed, Mr. Whitton retired. Oa the 18th of October last, the first oy of the Quarter Sessions, the defendant, Mr. Merry man, appeared in the Town Hall in his new robes, as .llayor, attended by the other defendants, and opened the Court. Mr. Thompson (the Mayor elect) came to the Town Ilall, and requested Mr. Merryman to leave the chair, but Mr. Merryman told him that if he would disturb the proceedings of the Conic he should be sent to prison. Mr. Thompson then adjlurned the Quarter SeiOrms to his own house, and the de'endants having broken open she locks of the room in which the borough records wrie kept, and took them horn?. The Loitn CHIEF Junius here interrupted Mr. Scarlett, ant panted the rule. PREROGATIVE COURT, NOVIMER 7. IA RE OF THE WILL OF THE REV. JANIES EVANS, LL D. 'Pais was an amicable suit, instituted to obtain the jadgme,,t of the Court, whether an unfinished paper, }propotn►ded as a codicil to the will of the Rev. Mr. Evans, was a valid instrument or nor ? F:ont the alit gallons it appeared, that nn the 20th of flay, in the present year, the testator made his will, and soon after chew out a formal codicil, altering and lc/citing certain parts of this will, but which codicil neith-r date nor signature. After the tes -I,ol's de.th, which took pl..ce on the 20th of August lact, the w i l and codicil were found in his writing-desk, trod On examining them it was discove►ed that they had at some time been attached together with sealing-was. JOHN NICHOLL, in pronouncing judgment, ob. xsived, that the codicil propounded being an unfinished l kaper, the presumption of law was against it, and that presumption must be repelled by circumstances, spewing ;hat the testator was prevented by sudden death from completing it ; or by other circumstances, proving than he haJ, up to the time of his death, recognised it as a vand iristrument. Nothing of that kind had been brewn ;n the present instance, and the Court therefore ua, of opinion that the codicil must be teitown cut, and the will alor e admitted to proof. 'The contents of the will and codicil did not transpire, but it was stated that those of the latter were very unimportant. Accounts from the city of Mexico have been received, down to early in September. ALAMAN was about re /INT horn the Ministry : our account states his resig : I;inn had actually been sent to the PRESIDENT.

G\VE•NNAPPE MINING COMPANY. ---ma.-- TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Pall-mall, Nov. 9. answer, as I feel I am called upon to do, at the instant, to a renewed attempt to impeach my word, and again to implicate my name in the transactions of the Gwennappe Company. I feel I should wrong my honour if I was►.ed words in re-asserting in eves y part my deliberate contradiction of Mr. Cooke's statement. I shall advert only to a note, purporting to be vititten by me to Mr. Stewart, and produced by Mr. Cooke, and I shall do kin a very few words. 'rite shares were not shares in the Gwennappe Mining Company ; and the mention of Mr. Cooke's name in that note must have reference to some offer of Mr. Stewart's to send a cheque in payment for those shires through Mr. Cooke, whom, if he were the person who called upon me (and I have no reason to disbelievethat he was), I never saw before or since. I repeat, that after several (I think three) conversations with Mr. Stewart, on the subject of the GwennappeMiningCompany, I declined connecting myself with it, and that at no time di 1 I authorize the affixing vt my name to any prospectus of that Com pany. I cannot descend to further discussions on stt:h subject, but leave myself with perfect cnnfii ace in the handi of those who have ever known me in ptihlic or in private life. lam Sir, your obedient servant, NUGENT. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Yesterday he'rig the 9th of November, the usual ceremonies were observed in the City. Soon alter two o'clock the Lord MAyou's procession reached West m'nster•hall, a•id proceeded to the C..urt of lxche• where the Barons sat in their state robes to re ceive him. The LORD MAYOR, the late Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and principal City Officers, having taken their stations in Court, The RECORDER adiressed their Lordships, and stared, thaz he presentea SV. Venables, Esq. citizen and sta tioner, who had been duly elected by the Livery to serve the office of L.)rd Mayor for the year ensuing. The RECORDER then enumerated the several grada tinns of civic employment through which Mr. Venables had passed, until he reached his present highly honour able and important office, and pronnucced an eloquent eulogium on the manner in which the duties of those stations were discharged—a manner not less honourable to the character of the Magistrate, than useful to the interests of his fellow-citizens. The learned Itzcoanaa then turning to the late Lord Mayor, stated to the Court that he attended there to render to their Lordships an account of tise high duties which he had so ably and so honourably filled during the year just expired. He then adverted in terms of high praise to the distinguishing characteristics of his Lnrdship's Mayoralty. He was now, he said, about to retire to the bosom of a numerous and young family, and there was no doubt he would take with him the most marked approbation of his fellow-citizens, for the able and arduous attention he had on all occasions be stowed on their interests. The Loan CHIEF BARON then addressed the new Lord Mayor in a short speech, in which he haivetted to all the points touched upon by the Recorder. ' Ilis Lordship then addressed the late Lord Mayor, and observed that he was now retiring from his high office with that honour which had been truly inticipa• ted for him when he.sppeared in that Court last year. The oaths were then administered to the new Lora: Mayor, and the late Lord Mayor was sworn to his ac count. After same other customary formali . ies were gone through, the Recorder invited their L-ndships to dine at the Guildhall. The procession then retired, and (the Lord Mayor having paid his respects to the Judges in the other Courts), proceeded to the barges at West minster-bridge, and from thence to Blackfriars, where the whole party disembarked and proceeded to the Guildhall in the same state in which they left it. The weather was throughout the day extremely fine, and conse quently the crowds to witness the procession at every point of view were unusually great. THE CIVIC FEAST. We are now arrived at that period of the day, not the least important in the opinion of by far the greater por tion of those who assembled to pay homage to the new ly installed sovereign of the first metropolis, for wealth and splendour, which Europe has to boast—the ban quet ; and flat indeed to the principal actors in the ceremonies of the day would those ceremonies be, had they n.:t such a termination in anticipation. A Lord Mayor's Day without a dinner would be as dismal as the darkest day in November. On the present occasion, owever, in this respect, the wishes and expectations of the most sanguine were more than realized. That spa. cious and magnificent edifice, Guildhall, never shone more resplendent in decoration than it did yesterday. The doors of the Hall were opened for the admission of company about three o'clock, and the carriages began to arrive in quick succession soon after that time; and by half-past tour the Hall presented a display of female beauty and elegance, peculiar to the British metropolis. At half-past five his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived, and was followed soon after by the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Shaftes bury, Mr. Secretary Peal, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. W. W. Wynn, Sir George Clerk, the Portuguese and Dutch Ambassadors. Mr. Justice Park. Mr. Baron Darrow. Mr. Justice Littledale, the Soli citor-General, Mr. Scarlett, Mr. Brougham, Colonel French, &c. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, the Lotto Maros gave " The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex."--.. This toast was drank with warm expressions of feeling towards his Royal Highness. His Royal Highness returned thanks for the warm mat ks of approbation wi,h wh ch the toast just given by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor had been ieceited. He assured the company he felt the warmest 'gratitude for the opinion which had been expressed of him, and the euloAivat which the Lord Mayor had been pleased to bestow upon him ; but he assured them there was not a single individual member of his family ho was not equally anxious to support the Constitu. :ion, equally anxious to deserve the good opini..n of the citizens of London, and equally desirous of pro rooting the interest of the city of L melon, with him self. His Royal Highness concluded by propasing the health of the Lord Mayor. This toast was drank with loud applause. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. He could as. sure his fellow-citizens that no man ever entered on the arduous office ss Inch he had this day taken upon him >elf, si lib 1 more anxious de:site to discharge the duties of it faithfully and conscientiously, and for the benefit of his fellow-citizens and the country at large, th is he diJ. He was fully co scions, however, of his own in• competence, and should have shru.,k srom the task, had it not been for the reliance which he had on the rid and assistance which he should receive from the los predecessor. and his brother Aldermen. H s Lorthhip then 14 a ee the health of the late Lora Ma.° , and in dolls so observed, that he believed ht. spike the unanimous sentiment of his fellow citizens, when he said that nn man had ever filled the chair of the Chief Mlgi.trate with mote honour to hinnielf, or benefic to the Public, than his honourable friend had don.. • - - The Loan 'MAYOR having given the health of Lord Liverpool, His Loansuir returned thanks. lie had had the honour of being present for mow years at almost every meeting assembled upon occasions similar to the preseut. Ile had met them in adversity and in prosperity, and he had upon all occasions expressed his feelings upon the decided advantages gained fur the country by the prosperity of the City of London. If, as be had reason to believe, any portion of the community approved of the public measures which he recommended, there was none of whose approval he would he more proud than that of the Citizens of London. The Noble Earl added, that there was one toast which, with the great est satisfaction upon his part, the Lord Mayor had commissioned him to give—" Prosperity to the City of London." It was impos sible f or any person who considered the state of the country not to wish for the prosperity of this great City, which was the mainstay of our greatness and national prosperity. Drank with three times three. " The health of the Earl of Shaftesbury"—three times three. His Lordship returned thanks. " The Lady Mayoress"—three times three. " Mr. Secretary Peer—three times three. , The Right lion. GENTLEMAN felt highly gratified at the flatter ing manner in which the company received his health. In conse quence of the office which he had the honour to hold he was placed in constant communication with those who exercised the highest authorities in the City. lie husked back to this intercourse with the highest satisfaction, and he telt peculiar pleasure in being able to state that there was not the interruption of a single moment to that good understanding and good will which were so essentially necessary to tire preset v Ilion of the peace of the country. `• In proposing '• the health of Mr. Iluskisson," The Loan MA rots stated that much was due to the Right Hon. GrozlesEin for liiscumnurcial at rangements,which, though Atte-soled with peculiar difficulties, were the source of general satisfaction to the count ry.—Draiik with three times three. Air. Ilexxisois returned his gratcful thanks for the unexpected honour done him. With respect to the subject alluded to lay his Lordship, lie would merely state, that if the prosperity of the com mercial and manufacturing interests were suffered to decline, the other great interests would quickly follow. It was most satisfactory for him to receive those assurances from the company that the mea sures which he, as an humble Member of the Legislature had intro duced, and which had been approved of by Parliament, had also received their thanks, as tending to the advantage of the manufac turing classes, so essentially necessary to the greatness, well-being, and prosperity of the country. "TheFareign Ambassadors"—three times three. Tile DUTCH A MNAMADOIt re:UITIcd thaisks. At ten o'clock his 1.-mlship quitted the chair; and the company having partaken of the refreshment of tea and coffee, dancing commenced in the Council Cham ber, when quadrilles were kept up with as mu•.h spirit as the crowded state of the ro would perm;t, until midnight; at which time the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress retired, and the company separated, well sltisfied with the event of the day, and apparently in good humour with themselves and all the world. THE COMET STEAM BOAT. PROM TIIE GLASGOW COUHIER OF NOVEMBER 8. The weather since our last has been so exceedingly boisterous, that no attempt could be made to raise this ill-fared vessel. During the whole of Saturday night it blew a tremendous gale, accompanied by a very heavy rain from the South West and Westward. Since Sun day morning the wind has inclined to the Northward, gene! ally blowing flesh, with showers of s'eet and snow. Another body, that of Mr. Macalister, junior, one of the sufferers in the Comet, and nephew to Mr. Macal ister, W. S. Edinburgh, also a sufferer, has been found since Saturday. It was floated ashore in Gourock Bay, much disfigured, but readily recognised by the dress, and immediately carried to Grrenock by his mourn ing relations, from whence it will, it is supposed, be im mediately carried to Edinburgh, along with the body of his uncle, which still remained at Greenock on Satur day, Chit they may be interred together. Mr. Charles Macalister, Writer to the Signet, was the youngest son of Alexander Macalister, Esq. of Strath. aird, in the Isle of Sky, and the last of three sons, who have died within the short space of fifteen months. Mr. Macalister possessed unbounded generosity ; a delicate, nay, romantic sense of honour and independ ence; and was equally capable of feeling as of exciting the most ardent friendship and devoted attachment. He perished in his 32d year, at the moment, it may be said, when he was secured in an independent fortune. The deceased was recently admitted a freeholder in the counties of Inverness and Argyll. He was esteemed by a very numerous body of acquaintances, and be loved by his chosen friends. Letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult. repre sent she merchants and other inhabitants of that city as in a state of the greatest alarm, from the are rd of a bombardment [roar Lord COCURANE and the Greek fleet. Under these apprehensions whole families were removing into the country, with their books and pro perty—and trade of almost every kind was at a stand. By this time, however, the Order in Council, enforcing lthe Foreign Enlistment Bi I, must be known at Con stantinop:e, and it could net fail to tranquillize the fears which pervaded the Turkish capital. Accounts from Maranham to the sth ult. received by the Rob Roy, arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday, state that the inhabitants of the northern provinces of Brazil, were sLffering greatly in consequence of the drought which had so long prevailed there, and that provisions were so scarce, as to give rise to an apprehension of famine, if a favourable change did not soon take place. Last night the oft-repeated piece of Paul Pry at tracted a crowded audience at the Haymarket Theatre; and we are not surprised at its attraction, for, notwith standing the outre and very laughable exhibition of LiSTON, the character itself seems so strikingly identified with the every-day occurrences of common life, that we wonder it has not sooner been hit off by dra matists. The scene between Wit/rerton (Mr. YouNant), and Mrs. Subtk (Mrs. (Jcovan), perhaps could not be exceeded. _ A young traveller of Valenciennes was lately a wit ness of the following circuinstance:—As an old woman was leading an ass laden with sacks of de.d leaves down the Allle Verte, at Brussels, one of them fell down, and the poor old creatwe was in vain endea vouring to replace it, when a man dressed in a blue frock -coat, who had perceived her from a leach where he was sitting, came to her assistance. The old woman, quite overpowered, knew not how to thank him, but in the midst of her confusion be slipped a piece of gold into her hand, and disappeared. This man was the King of the NETHERLANDS ! in consequence of the late transactions at Whiteha• wen, the master shipwrights of that post, and i.f Hu lingt.n, Workington, and Maryport, held a Meeting at the Black Lion inn, Oct )ber '27, THOMAS HARTLEY, E q. in the Chair, when they unanimously agreed not to employ any men at all connected with the Unions; but to induce those men to relea,e themselves ttom the ctamtneis of such pernicious societies, they at the .ame time agreed " to raise the general rate of ship .vrigh s wages in Cumberland, from 2;;u to 2lts. a we k.- CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE.
