Monday last, a match of a one-mile heat was de cided on the Honiton-road, which has excited much interest with the Sporting Gentry, between Mr. BIRCH'S black Sally, and Mr. R. ROOKE'S celebrated Rhone, which was won easy, by the former, runuing the mile in two minutes. Amongst the singular changes that take place with race-horses, the following is not the least singular: Over the Course at Doncaster, the mare Duchess beat Mr. Warr's Blacklock, giving him 1511 a. in the year 1817. In the present year, Mr. Warr's Blacklock, over the same Course, could have distanced the Du chess, had he chosen it, each carrying the weight of their respective years. In the course of the present season, two white par-, tridges have been seen in a large covey, in the manor of Marton-le-Moor, near Boroughbridge, belonging to his Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE. One day last week William Friend, game-keeper to C. LYON, Esq. of Binchester, fired at a covey of fourteen partridges, out of which he killed eleven at a single shot ! In the garden of Mr. GOLD, at dindlin's Farm, in the parish of Shipley, Sussex, one dwarf French bean produced the astonishing number of 268 ! SACK RACE.—To-morrow is fixed for a sack race, between Berkshire Dick and a countryman from Northampton, for 100 guineas. The parties are to start at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the White Hart, Tottenham. The distance is 600 yards, the best of three heats. Betting is three to two in favour of the Northamptonian. BARNSTAPLE, SEPTEMBER 2,.—There were two stags roused (one Tuesday and the other Friday) in the fair week, near the town, as is customary, for the gratification of those who resort to it at this season of the year. They both took the desired direction towards the town, about the distance of one mile and a halffrom the bridge, and gave most excellent sport to the hunters, as well as the inhabitants who were so fortunate as to view it ;—the latter passing Sir BOURCIILa WnEv, Bart:s pleasure-ground, and then ran into the neighbourhood of Fremington, turned, and came almost in the same direction back again, and entered the river opposite the residence of N. GLASS, Esq. in which it was kept by the multitude on either side. Earl FORTEsCUE, Lord LBRINGTON, Sir ARTHUR and Colonel CHICHESTER, with a vast number of other Gentlemen were among the hunters. The horse on which Lord Dint NGTON rode, in passing through the town, fell ; and his Lordship met with several serious bruises, and a violent sprain in one of his ancles, which obliged him to be conveyed to Cas tle Hill immediately, accompanied by a surgeon.

The unfortunate condition and mental derangement of Mr. R. PACKER, of Doctors' Commons, we detailed a few days ago. The warrant that was issued by our local Magistrates, to take and keep him in safe cus tody, he contrived to evade, and two days subse quently the following letter, by post, was received by J. H.

PARISIAN FASHIONS. There were a great many people last Sunday in the Garden of the 'fimilleries, but it was in vain to seek there for new fashions. As in Summer, the chairs were under the trees, and no Autumn fashions were to be hen. All the elegant people crowded to the Parks of Sablons. In this brilliant assembly, we noticed ladies' mantles of mixed cassiniir, with two openings for the arms to pats through, and two collars—one standing, of Kik velvet, poppy colour, amaranthus, grey, or black—the other of middling size, of the same material as the mantle. These man tles were lined with silk; some, instead of the pilgrlitt's collar, had a gathered cowl. The cassimir colours were lilac and white, blue and white, dead leaf and white, and plum and white. In the Magazines of Fashions, the row articles are bats at gene de Naples, lilac or dark blue, with plaits of light green, and adtauze hive, striped with poppy colour. Rotes are as often used as daisies. We see upon some yellow crape hats full.blow:i roses, one-half yellow, the other all ideal; brown, for instance, with a rose turn-up edge to each leaf. Sonic cornettes in tulle and rib bards have a point in front, ala Mc-ie Stuart. Buttoned lapels are a new fashion in spencers: when a cestus is worn with a spencer, it is knotted in front. Mr. CHESSRER, of Hinckley, we have authority to announce, is actively engaged in the Profession which has occupied his attention for the last thirty years, notwithstanding the repeated reports to the contrary. FIRE.—At an early hour in the afternoon of yester day, a most alarming and destructive are broke out at the warehouse of Messrs. Wood, James, and Wood, oil. manufacturers, situated in College-street. Thames , street. The flames, when first perceived, burst forth with such force and velocity, that the neighbourhood was instantly filled with terror and alarm For them selves and their property, the place consisting prin cipally of warehouses, where immense property is generally deposited. Every exertion was made by the inhabitants to stop its dreadful ,ravages, without success, until the building in which the fire originated was entirely destroyed, and several others had greatly suffered. Among the number are the following Mr. Wiltsher, carpenter ; Mr.. Archer, baker ; Mr. Schroder, sugar-baker; and sever al others. In Queen street, Cheapside, the houses of Messrs. Potts and Waldie, merchants and manufacturers, and those of Messrs. Upton aid Co. oil and paint-manufacturers, are also much damaged in the back part. The new, superb, and extensive premises of Messrs. Magnay, Pickering, and Co. stationers, were at one time in the most imminent danger, but by the exertions of themselves, their people, and the use of their bucket's, which are generally situated in the warehouse, aided by a plentiful supply of water, they were saved from the devouring element. The behaviour of the fire men on - this occasion, we feel a pleasure in stating, was truly praiseworthy. Had it not been for them and their exertions, the whole of the premises on the west side, facing here the fire had broken out, matt have fallen a prey to the flames. Messrs. Calvert and Co. brewers, not only sent their engines, but their servants were seen busily employed in the work ing of them, prior to the arrival of any of the regular en ,, b ines which we lament to state, had been previ o. usly engaged the same morning at a fire which happened at a public-house in Titchficld-street, Mary la-bonne. A poor man, usually called Cobourz, and employed as watering-man to the coach-stand, was burnt to death at the fire at the Crown and Sceptic public- house, Great Titchfield-street, yesterday morning. There have been considerable imrortations of onions from France into Portsmouth, so that they are now selling for Its. per bushel, a few days since they sold for double that price. In the markets of the West of England the prices of Butter and Cheese are materially lower. Potatoes, three weeks ago, sold for nearly double the money they do at present. CORY-EXCHANGR,•MARK-LANK, SEPTEMUF.R 30.- We had a large arrival of Corn from the Suffolk coast this morning, chiefly with Wheat and Barley ; the former article, of fine quality, obtained Monday's prices, but the Barley was very heavy sale, at 2s. per quarter cheaper, the supply being much larger than the demand. Oats went off slowly on Mondays terms. In Peas and Beans there is no alteration. MOUNTAINS IN PERTHSII I R E.—The lofty hill called Benvracky, which terminates the vale of Athole on one hand, and the strath of Garry, with the beautiful Parks of Blair, on the other,is among the remarkable mountains of Perthshire. The view from its summit is one of the most beautiful and extensive among the Alpine scenery of Scotland, presenting at once a fine assemblage of all that is grand and interesting in a landscape. Though this mountain is about 30 miles from Perth, a good eye can discern from it, in a fa vourable day, not only the bridge, but the steeples, and some of the more prominent objects in the neigh bourhood. Its height has lately been determined to be '2756 feet above the level of the sea. Cairn-Our, the loftiest of the Ben Gloe mountains, situated about eight miles north from Benvracky, and overlooking Glen Tilt, so celebrated in geological controversy, has been determined, by rewiring it to the same point, to be 3690 feet above the revel of the sea.— Both Benvracky and Ben Glee arc distinttly visible 'from the bridge of Perth, in th.: direction of Dunkeld. COMMON MILL. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. Yesterday being Michaclmas.day, the Livery were assembled in Common Hall, for the purpose of elect ing a fit person to serve the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuiag year. At one o'clock the Lono MAYOR, attended by .the RECORDER, several Aldermen, and the new Sheriffs, entered the Hall, uhich was numerously attended, and having taken their places en the hustings, the usual proclamations were made; after which The RECORDER addressed the Livery, and stated the object for which they had been called together. He then accompanied the Lord Mayor and Aldermen from the Hall to their own Court. The COMMON SERJEANT next came forward, and said that, as was already explained by the Recorder, the Livery were called upon to select two fit and proper persons out of the number of those Aldermen who had served the office of Sheriff: These two were to be returned to the Court of Aldermen, who were to choose one of them to fill the office of Lord Mayor. The names of the Aldermen were then put up ac cording to seniority. Upon the name of Alderman Atkins being placed on the board, there was a large drew of hands with considerable applause, mixed, however, with nearly an equal share of disapproba tion. The next name was that of Alderman Good- ' Inhere, upon which the shew of hands was more nu merous, the applause was also greater, though not at all general, there being many who lou dly expressed their disapprobation. The name of Alderman Thorp, was the next, upon which many hands were held up. The numbers were in appearance not much, if at ad, inferior to those for Alderman'Atkins, but upon this the opinions of the Livery were much divided. Some loudly insisted that Alderman Thorp had the ma jority, whilst others as stoutly maintained that it rested with Alderman Atkins. During this noisy conflict betwixt " Thorp has it," and " ', Aims has it," the Sheriffs appeared to consult together, and having agreed as to the successful candi dates, the COMMON SERJEANT came forward to an nounce their decision. Silence was instantly restored, but the moment he pronounced that, in the opinion of the Sheriffs, the choice of the Livery had fallen upon Aldermen Atkins and Goodbehere, a mingle/ shout of dissatisfaction and applause was set up, which was absolutely deafening, and continued so for some minutes. The Sheriffs immediately retired 'to make their return to the Court of Aldermen, and fora considerable time after their departure, little could be heard, but opposing cries of "shame'-- "'tis a trick"—and " all's fair'—" the Sheriffs are correct."—ln about three quarters of an hour the LORD 'AMCOR, accompanied as before, returnoi to I the hustings, when the RECORDER announced that the choice of the Court of Aldermen had fallen uporr Alderman ATKINS, whom he therefore declared duly elected. At this the same mingled shouts as hefty* were set up, and continued whilst the Loan Mvicon elect was invested with the chain. After this ceremony was performed, he came for ward to return thanks, but the noise of those who appeared to approve and disapprove was too loud to have any thing else heard for some time. At length he was understood to express his sincere thanks for the very high honour which had been conferred upon him. He assured the Livery that they should have no reason to regret their choice, but that he should at all times be found to discharge the duties of his high office with that zeal, integrity, and impartia lity, which he trusted had already marked his con duct as a Magistate—(appla use, and some hisses.) He continued to speak for some moments longer, but it was impossible to, collect what he said. When he had retired, . . • Ur. S. DiXON came forward to submit a motion, on which he was certain there would be no difference of opinion. It was a motion of thanks to the late Sheriffs, for their very praiseworthy conduct while in office--(Cries of " Give it only to one, and, Let the motions be separate.") To him both the gentlemen were strangers when they came into office, but he had since known them as most zealous and indefatigable in the discharge of their arduous duties. In the late election there was none who saw their conduct, who had not reason to admire their strict impartiality. In every respect their conduct had entitled them to the thanks of their fellow citizens, but in nothing more than in their humane attention to the situation of the prisoners in the different prisons, every one of whom they had endeavoured to render as comfortable as their situations would admit'—(applause.) He con cluded by moving, that the thanks of the Livery be given to Sir Francis Decants and Sir George Al derson, Knights, the late Sheriffs, for the very Tea - ions, active, and able manner in which they had dis . . . . - - , - char.ed the duties of their office, for their strictly irm- P partial conduct at the late contested election forthe City, and for their humane and liberal attention to the situation of the prisoners. This was "seconded and carried almost unanimously, and with much applause. Sir G. Alonnsow, in returning thanks, expressed his regret that his colleague, Sir F. Desanges, was net present on this occasion, as he would offer hi; thanks in a much better manner than he could pre tend to do. It was however a duty which he owed to the Livery to express to them how highly he va 7 hied the honour which had just been conferred upon him. For this he begged them to accept his Inc' t sincere thanks. It was, as they would recollect, now twelve months since he had been called from the ranks of his fellow citizens to fill the high and important office with which their confidence had invested *rim, (applance.) lie had endeavoured, as far as his lutn.• ble abilities permitted, to discharge its duties .);:h zeal, integrity, and a eor.stant attention to the public interests—(app/ause.) Mr. BLUNDELL next.came forward with a paper in his hand, which. was understood to contain a residar tion, expressing some disapprobation at the conduct of the new Shetiffs in making the return ; but before he moved it, the crier, by order of the LORD Mnvoa, declared the ball adjourned. This was commented on in strong terms by man: on and near the hustings, who seemed to have been aware of the object of the intended motion. After the Common Hall the Loan MAvou held Court of Aldermen, at which Mr. Norton, who was , on Monday last elected Common Pleader, in the room .' of the late William Wittsoll, Esq. attended, and was sworn into office. f *NI V • • J 4 , $.l J k ; t I • • e I I .4 f ti! ii 7 4 , 1. h .c t.. re ty ,41A4
