D INNER TO THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. GOLDSNIfTFIS' COMPANY. s t , Go urrom OF HIS 'R O YAL HIGHNESS THI DOLE OF GLARENER TO THR 'FREEDOM AND CLOTHING. • This ceremony took place on Wednesday, in the an-! dent C o urt -pawn of Goldsmiths Hall. Amongst the g neiss assembled in honour of the occasion we noticed oral distinguished individuals connected with that (nv i ce of which his Royal Highness is Lord H i gh " A - ciol i ns l, His Royal Highness arrived in tne ceancil-roo'm about half-past six o'clock, and was Fi esta —, individually, by the Prime Warden (John Gans u ( Esq. and Alderman) to the different members of the Company. The Company then assembled round t he table, upon which was placed the splendid para phernalia connected with the ceremony, consisting of a tor massive gold inkstand, pens, paper, &c. The box which contained the freedom is of gold, with the city arms exquisitely chased on it, and the following inset ip non engraver on the inside of the lid :—" Presented co his acoal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Lord High Admiral of Great Britain, &c. &c. &c. by the Worship. ful Company of Goldsmiths, on his Royal Highness being admitted to the freedom and clothing of that an cient and loyal Corporation, which was unanimously v oted, in testimony of the deep and grateful sense en :attained by them of his Royal Highness s public vir tues and private worth." The Clerk of the Company (JOHN LANK, Esq.) read the resolution electing his Royal Highness a Member 'of the Coinieop The customary oath was adminis tered, and the ceremony of clothing took place. The PRllet Wneoau then presented the gold box and freedom to his Royal Highness, whom he addres s ed as follows: May it please your Royal Highness,—The distinguished Mow of presenting the freedom and livery of the Company of Goldsmiths of London for your Royal Highness's acceptance, p l ying devolved on me, permit me, in their statue, to entreat you graciously to receive them. In the performance of this duty, 1 as. 1 pee your Royal Highness, that I am highly gratifying my own peona l feelings, nut only on the occasion for which we are assem bled, but by indulging my unfeigned esteem for your Royal High. m o's person, the son of our revered late Monarch, who Mimed ore his subjects, happily for them, more than half a century,—a huger period than any of his Royal predecessors. The records of MI very ancient and loyal Cotporation will band down to posterity your Royal Highness's gracious condescension, by having accepted, sod the Company in their having, by unanimous vote, selected a Noce of the illustrious House of Brunswick, and next is mimes. limo to the Crown, united in the person of your Royal Highness, for the best gip in th eir power to Wier." His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARRNCE took the boa in his hand, and addressed the company in a short but feeling speech. He assured the company belch particularly gratified in receiving the distin guished honour which had just beets conferred upon him. It was impossible for him not to feel peculiar gratification on hearing the sentiments which had fallen from their Prime Was den ; who, in the course of the observations he had been pleased to make, touched upon circurnstaiices which had for many years pleased upon his Royal Hi,tess's mind. He was deeply sensible of the benefiis which his country had desived from the meritorious reign of his late revered parent. He was convinced, when the history of his Lae Ma jesty's reign should be scanned over, its pages would lie with any that was past or was to come. No man was ever more sincerely attached to the welfare of this yea .commercial cit 7 than his late tat: eh ; and he could-assnre them, that on being admitted to the free. don of the Goldsmiths' Company, if any thing could add to the gratification which he experienced in receiving so distinguished a mark of favour, it was the allusiini which had been made to his late Majesty. fh `ceremony being concluded, the assembly were ushered into the grand hall, where a banquet - was prepared for the occasion. About 200 persons sat Joan to dinner. The Lord High Admiral was attended by Admiral Sir C. Pole, Sir James Saumarez, Sir Thomas Byam Martin, Sir W. Hoste, and other distinguished naval characters. We observed also amongst the company, Lid Bexley, the Hon. Berkeley Paget, C. N. Pall mer, Esq. M.P. for Surrey, Thomas Halifax, and seve ral of the leading Members of the Cons t. The freedom of the City was presented to his Royal Highness imme diately before dinner in a gold box, which cost 100 guineas, and after the ceremony of clothing was termi nated, the Company entered the Hall. They sat down to dinner at seven o'clock. His Royal Highness begged to drink wine with his brother liverymen before the cloth was removed, a proposition which was received with the warmest applause. The Palms WAEDILN rose, and proposed, in an intro. dmtory speech, " Church and King,' in doing which he referred, in terms of great praise, to the attachment professed and felt by his late Majesty and the Duke of York fur the Church. He also reminded the Company of the high honour conferred upon them by the pre sence of a member of the House of Brunswick, who professed the same sentiments and principles—{Cheers), The t' iii WARDEN then proposed the health of their illustrious visitor, whose presence shed so much lustre upon the Company. The ROYAL Dues rose amidst the loudest eheets.— He felt, he said, exceedingly grateful for the warmth with which his brother Liverymen had drank his health. He was the more obliged for the mark of attention and respect with which he had been treated by the Gold smiths' Company, in the presentation of the freedom of the City, as it was, the only mark he had, for the 45 years that he had been a public man, ever received from any one of the corporate bodies—(Cheers). He felt peculiar pride in receiving this testimony from a Com pany of such respectability, and which stood so pre- eminent for loyalty, for firm attachment to the King and Constitution in Church and State—(Cheers). — Although his ancestors were foreigners, he trusted that his family were now sufficiently known to the people England to be called English. It was truly Eng lish; stud The Livery might rest assured, that his senti ments, with respect to the toast which had been a short time ago given, were perfectly in unison with those entertained by his late father—(Cheers). His Royal Highness then alluded to his recent appoint ment to the situation of Lord High Aamiral,—a s tuation unsought and unasked by him. He trusted it would be found, that he would zealously and ade quately perform its duties. He had been born and bred in the service; and, knowing well the valour and en thi.siasm of British seamen by a long experience, he hoped that he should be found capable of appreciating the merits and rewarding the ardour and vigorous ex- 1 enions of so dear ving a body of his Majesty's subjects, l (Cheers.) His knowledge2f the profession had enabled tam to ascettain, that without commerce a British navy maid be as n..thing, either in time of war or in time of Pratt. In war, commerce supplied resources to meet the impetuous exigencies of the occasion. In peace, commerce afforded a nursery from which it was at all ti mes easy to furnish a supply of men; so that, how- ever expensive the reductions m➢ght be in that service upon any great and• sudden emergency able substitutes were ready to come forward—(Cheers). Upon all such occasions it never had been found matter of 'difficulty to complete a fleet for the preservation of the safety and honour of the country. He felt the honour which had been that day conferral upon him in the very highest degree, as the commerce of the country was so inti mately connected with the service of which he had the honour to be at the head—(Lonrcontinued cheers.) Lard liasLay's health was next drank. His Lordship returned thanks, in doing which, he said that the Company all felt deeply the honour conferred upon them by the presence of an illustrious member of, the House of Brunswick, the immediate heir to the' Crown, particularly as his Majesty was the Mister of the Company. He then proposed the health of the I , Prime Warden and Wardens." The Pants WARDEN returned thanks, and proposed the health of the " Duchess of Clarence." This toast was received in the most gallant style. The ROYAL DUKE.-4 do not know, my brother Li verymen, whether it is regular or irregular in a man to return thanks for his wife (a laugh); but I know this, that if my wife knew that she was toasted, and that I failed to communicate her tha .ks upon the occa,ion, I should be in error if I expected to meet her usual smile—(Laughter and cheers). The Parris WARDSN then proposed the health of the Admirals and Vace-Admirals present. His ROYAL HIGHNKSE said that he had one toast to gile before he should take his departure. He had made an allUplOn to the support which the navy had unifos tidy received from commerce. He could not, therefore, give a more appropriate toast than "The trade, and com merce td the City of London." He as,ured the Cons. pany that he hoped frectiently to appear among them, althougn this was his first appearance. Hisitoyal Highness lett tlieroom, amidst loud Cheri s, at half•past eleven o'clock. It was, we understand, a preliminary arrangement, that no political allusions should be wale, nor political toasts given. Yl to lu a • • • t GREENOCK, MAY 22.

The following is a Copy ot the Private Bill brought into the Hou , e of Lords to annul the alieged marriage of Miss Turner " An Act to annul and declare Told an alleged Mantle between . _ .Rllen Turner, an infant, and E %ward Gibbon 4, Whereas Ellen Turner, the only child and heir of William Tur ner, Esquire, an infant, under the age of sixteen years, was lately, by fraud, contrivance, and forgery, illegally taken and carried away by Inc Edward Gibbon Wakefield, a stranger, wholly unknown to the said Ellen Turner, and, being under the controul of the said Edward Gibbon Wakefield, was afterwards, to wit, on the eighth day of March, In the year of our LORD one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, by fraud, imposition, fear, and intimidation, made and induced, at Gretna•green, in that part of the United Kingdom rot Great Britain and Ireland called Scotland, to marry thread Edward Gibbon Wakefield, according to certain forms and ceremonies, ' which are alleged to constitute a marriage according to the laws and customs of that part of the United Kingdom called Scotland: And whereas the said Edward Gibbon Wakefield was after. wards convicted in due course of law, of conspiring, with certain other persons, to take arid convey the said Ellen Turner out of the' custody of in persons then having the lawful order, keeping, education, and governance of the said Ellen Turner, and to cause and procure her to marry the said Edward Gibbon Wakefield without the knowledge or consent of the said William Turner, her father, and of having unlawfully taken and conveyed the said Ellen Turner, then being a maid, unmarried, under the age of sixteen years, out of and from the possession ',remain persons having by the consent and appointment of the said William Turner the order, keeping, education, and governance of the said Ellen Turner, and is cow mitring the sentence of the law upon the first of the said convictions: " And whereas it is expedient that the said alleged marriage should be declared to be null and void : May it therefore please your Majesty, (Out et your princely goodness, and In companion to the sufferings and misfortune of your said subject and his said daughter,) that It may be declared and enacted; and be It declared and enacted by the King's Most Racellent Majesty, by and with the advice and conseut of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the sanse,That the said alleged marriage between the said Ellen Turner and the said Edward Gibbon Wakefield is and shall be from henceforth null and Void: And It is hereby declared and enacted to be null and void, and so for ever hereafter shall be taken and adjudged to be, to all intents and purposes whatsoever, as if such forms and ceremo nies never had been celebrated or performed." THE THAMES TUNNEL. The perseverance of Mr. Baum., and the means which his talents suggested, have overcome the difficulty, which appeared insurmountable; and, yesterday, the shaft having ceased to make water, orders were given to get the engines in readiness, and proceed to pump off. The throwing in of clay continued the whole day, to guard against a similar occurrence in future, The 'shalt leading to the Tunnel is .50 feet in diameter; and to the orifices of the archways, at least 70 feet in depth. This, to the level of the river, with which its waters ebbed and flowed, has been completely filled, from the time the accident took place. About a quarter past 12 o'clock, the pumps were put into action, and the expec tation so anxiously entertained, was more than fulfilled, for the contents were rapidly drawing off, thus deter mining the pleasing fact, that the leakage was effectu ally interrupted. From one o'clock until sit, the engine, discharging about 3,700 feet an hour, the water was reduced in depth in the shaft 26 fret; and as it gradually diminished. the brick•work was examined, and found, though for so long a time exposed to the alternate action of ebb and flow, to be quite uninjured, and in the most perfect state. From the calculation made, it is thought, that this day, the water will be so far exhausted, that the adit of the Tunnel will be visible; and Mr. BRQNZL teels most confident, that the work will be resumed to-morrow.

It has long been matter of complaint, that;the systems of metage has, by lulling suspicion, been' gruarkr entity to thi fraudulent dealer in coats, than to the con , sumer who pays for its maintenance. It is well known I to those versed in the practices of the trade , that unless there is great vigilan,:e on the part of the meters, a di& teience of one-suds against the consumer may be mad. by the seller, even with lawful measures. Below tionate difference may. under she sanction of tricers' tickets, be made a; to the quality of the coal. Recent returns to the Corporation have proved that immense quantity of inferior coals are constantly sold to the public as the best Wall's-end cols. With a view to check these frauds, the Corporation have directed Mr. PgARSALL, the Clerk of the Coal Market, to make out monthly returns of the quantity of coals imported, and the various species, (amounting to about 140 in num ber). By this plan, the returns of the meters on board the colliers where the coal is measured out to the wholesale de g e.ers will he checked with the returns of the meters at the wharfs who pleasure out the coals to the public.— Whenever any discrepancy arises between these returns. the matter will doubtless undergo investigation. By the account of the annual impoi tation tendered to the Cot po • ration a few days since, it appears that the quantity of coals imp med last year was 1,600,229 clraldrens, being 144 067 chaldrons more thin the last year, and the large.t importa:ion ever known. The importation of small coal alone amounted to 40.700 'chaldrons, being 28 000 more than last year. This is altihetable to the reduction of the duty i n small coal, from 6t. to ls. per cffaldrch. • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
