COMMON COUNCIL Yesterday the Lord Mayor held Ms first Court of Common Council in the Chamber of the Guildhall. and upon taking his seat addressed the Court, expressing his high sense of the honour that had been conferred upon' , him, and his determination to preside over their debates with the utmost impartiality. Upon the motion of Mr. Deputy RoutH the Court' unanimously voted their thanks to the late Lord Mayor, which were ordered to be ornamentally written, pro perly emikasoned,&c. and presented to his Lordship. The Court directed the Chamberlain to present the Rev. Mr. Dillon, Chaplain to the late Lord Mayor, a purse of fifty guineas ] as a testimony of their regard and approbation. The sum of one hundred pounds was ordered to be paid as the gift of the Court in aid of the Fund usually distributed on St. Thomas's Day for Relief of Free- . masons' Widows. The General Purposes Committee presented a Report on having filled up the blanks in the Bill for increasing the Number of Common Councilmen for the Watd of Cripplegate Without. The said MI was read a third time, sad passed. The same Committee presented a Report on a Peti tion from the inhabitants of the above Ward, for the Court to apply to Parliament to irepeAl the Act for re gulating elections in London : which Petition they re commended not to be complied with.—A considerable disco ssion ensiled thereon, and the Report was ,finally ordered to lie on the table. S:veral Reports from the Committee of City Lands, with sundry regulations for better conducting the Fish market at Billingsgate, and also in respect of Leaden hall-market, were presented, and ordered to be printed , previous to being taken into consideration. The Court then took into consideration a Report of , the Finance Committee, respecting the state of the Chamber, and the propriety of that Committee being empowered to consider and report on the expediency of any extraordinary urn k or expenditure being done, incurred prior to the same being proceeded with ) and after a very long discussion and some amendments pro- posed to be made in the motion, a motion for an ad journment was put and carried, and the Court, in con- i sequence, immediately broke np. Tie statement in all the Morning Papers of yester day, of the wreck of his Majesty's ship Barracouta, on the c•nast of Madagascar, and the Captain, officers, and crew being nmurder•ed by the natives, is wholly without foundation. That vessel arrived in England three months since, was paid off at Deptford, where she now is in ordinary, and the Captain, officers, and crew, all regu larly discharged. As Mr. Andrew Pinson was bunting whir' Colonel Seale's harriers, in the neighbourhood of Dartmouth, on Thursday week, what taking a fence from a turnip field, a partridge rose under the horse, and was struck dead with one of his fore feet. COCKNEY Seottrasalia.—Two journeymen tailors, and stiout trey man shoemaker, were brought betore the Ma gutrate at Uniiin•hall, for damaging the trees, hedges, &c. of certain ruarket gardeners at Rotherhithe, by the discharge of fire arms. The mar ket gardeners having sustained much damage in consequence of shots and bullet, having been lodged in their trees by the cock ney sportsmen, a constable was directed to take such persons into custody, who might be found trespass* on their grounds. On Sunday morning, at an early hour, the prisoners were discovered on their knees, be hind two trees, taking aim at a flock of little birds. The constable, therefore, seized them, and brought them before the Magistrate, and also produced their fire arms. One of the tailors claimed an old rusty blunderbuss, and his brother snip, a thing which •he called his fowling-piece, the barrel of which, about a lard and a half in length, appeared to have been once an old gas pipe; and it was fixed to the stock by means •of pieces of iron hoops, over which it was twitted tightly round with strong waxed thread, and some piects of list, the emblems of his trade. The slroemaket> weapon uas of short dimensions—it was a pistol barrel, fixed . very clumsily into the stock of an old musket.-The constable said that they 'cry nearly shot him ; but out of a flock of 200 birds, only three were killed, and those were shattered to pieces. The tailors said, "they did not wish to offend nobody;" they went out to amuse themselves the only spare day they had in the week, to kill a lew 4 pee wees,' to make a pie for their Sunday's dinner." On their promising not again to break the Sabbath, by encroaching on the grounds of the market gardeners, for the purpose of killing 4 pee wees,' they were discharged. EEDUMATION OF Till BODY OF MR. EDMUND Hot.- LAND, me DRAFTSMAN. It will be recollected that about a fortnight or three wetks ago, a young Gentle man, whose name was unknown until the Coroner's In quest sat, was found lying dead, in the mud in the Thames, off Esicz Wharf, in the Strand, with his pockets emptied of their contents, with the exception of a key, and a pawnbroker's duplicate of a brooch, pledged at the shop of Mr. Essex, in Aldersgate-street. There were such dreadful contusions on the head and forehead, and also on the nose, which was broken, that the friends of °the deceased were strongly of opinion that be bad been murdered, and afterwards thrown over one of the bridges into the water. In this opinion they were strengthened by two burgeons, who were not examined on the Inquest, but who had seen the body, saying that they believed he bad not come by his death by &own irsg.4-Ik)wever there was no evidence to stew to the: contrary, and the Jury found a verdict of—" Found Drowned." The body was subsequently interred in St. Clement's Church-yard, yet still the parents and friends: of the unfortunate young man had a presentiment that he had been wilfully murdered, and his body shrown into the River for concealment. Under this impression they came to a determination to have the body disinter red, in order that the bead should undergo minute sm.. pical examination, by which means their minds would he ,et at rest. Accordingly application was made to Mr. Muisnutr., the Magistrate, of Bow -street, for per mission to disinter the corpse, which was immediately granted, and Wednesday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, the body was exhumated by Edwards, the undertaker, and conveyed to the bone-house, where the head under went an anatomical examination, by two skilful profes sors, in the presence of Mr. HOLLAND, the lather of the deceased, and several of his friends. The result was, that nothing could be discovered in the head that would warrant the surgeons in pronouncing that the unfortu nate young man bad been murdered; and the friends and relatives having expressed themselves satisfied, the body was placed in the coffin, and agaii consigned to the grave. LAW lEPOR?. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. SQ. Val A2TOINNT-OOMIAL 14 OLDlnif" The ATTORNEY GENERAL stated CO the Jury that this was an information, consisting of several counts. The first was for procuring a permit under pretence of transferring a certain quantity of wine to a Mr. Buckby, a manufacturer of anti-attrition paste. It would appear by the evidence that Mr. Buckby was not the purchaser of any such quidatity of wine, and that the permit had not been returned to the Excise-office. The second was of a similar nature. In this the supposed purchaser was Mrs. Oldfield, the mother of the defendant. He (the Attorney• General) should not dwell upon the circumstances then, but suffer them to be opened to the Jury by the evidence which he was about to offer to them. it was his intention to shew that these two perinits Were fraudulently obtained, for the purpose of concealing illegal and punishable practices. The third count arose out of the preceding ones; it cempjained of there permits not being returned to the Excise-office, Which he could only insist upon, when he bad proved that the permits were not applied to the purposes for which they were obtained. The fourth count alleged the adulteration of certain wines; the mixing of Cape l with sherry., and then selling the said mixture as pure sherry. He need not remind the Jury that Cape wine paid a Very small duty, and sherry a very high one ; or explain to them the mode in which the revenge was defrauded, and the public imposed upon and injured, by the sale of a composition of this description. He would not detain the Jury any longer from the evidence, but he must be allowed to observe, before he called any witnesses, that as it would be proved that the defendant had been in the habit of adulterating his sines inanother way also—with certain compounds of almonds and oyster-shells—the Jury would see the necessity of an information of this kind, if it were only for the purpose of holding up an example to others. There were many persons who constantly adulterated articles in daily use; add these adulterations, if they were not injurious to the health and constitutions of the consumers, were at least a fraud upon them, in making them pay, for I instance, duty upon lex which had beret seen China; or upon pepper maitufacturei out of dirt. After a long trial, the Jury then retired for about a quarter of an hoar, and upon their coming into Court again, returned a verdict fit the Crown on one permit, that of Mr. Buckby. at ir ,, LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Nov. 30. maa, etannore, RJANNOTON AND CO. MINIMA, GAILNISNICS, I/AL. NAND, M.N. roe INIDNONT, DIDISNDANT. Upon a former day, Mr. BARNARD moved that the plaintiff should shew cause why common bail should not be 'filed in dissolution of this attachment, the de fendant having the privilege of Parliament. The mo tion was founded upon an affidavit, stating that on the 13th of June Mr. Walrond was elected and returned as repiesentitive for the borough of Sudbury, in the county of Suffolk, in the United Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland, and that the attachnunt in this cause was issued, and the action of debt on which it was founded, was entered on the 4th of August list, as appeared by the record, and subsequent to the return of the defendant to serve in Parliament. The amount of the plaintiff's claim was 1,0501. and It was ad mitted by him that the defendant was a representative in Parliament. A rule Aisi wasgranted, and Mr. Damien oa Wednesday called upon the plaintiff to Mew cause. Mr. HOLLAND, for the plaintiff, said he would most unfeignedly say that common bail ought not to be taken in dissolution of this attachment, and he would state the grounds of rejection. The questicia was not one between the plaintiff and the garnishees, but between the plain tiff and Mr. Walrond, who had not thought proper to appear and answer to the cause, or to endeavour to re lease hi; property from custody . in the usual way, but at once broke loose from the jurisdiction of this Court upon his privilege of Parliament, which was known to every one not to extend its protection beyond the person Grille representative, and to leoe the property subject to every process of law to which that of other persons was liable. By the 12th and 13th of William 111. cap. 3, it was enacted that for the prevention of the great ' inconveniences arising horn the privilege of Parliament, an action might be commenced against any peer, knight, burgess, &c. of Parliament, and that after prorogation of Parliament, judgment might be given, and execution issued thereon against the goods. In the 45th of George 114. cap. 124, these was further security grunted against the inconv.eusences as ising from the pi ivilege of Parlia ment. This Act confirmed the provisions of that of William 111. It enumes aced the ptivileges, but gave to the representative no exemption from b.ing sued in the common way. Mr. Walrond was not before the Court in the quality of asking for his tight fairly as a defendant; but finding that his property was in jeo pardy, he came to ask to file common bail to dissolve the attachment. Mr. Boliand here cited several cases in proof of the legality of the proceeding against Mr. Walrond is property. The privilege of the Hon. Member had not been at all broken in open, as he was amenable to suit and process as well as any unprivileged person, and that suit and that process must operate as effectually against his goods and chattels. In this case, no goods had been taken. The proceeding that had been insti tuted was merely in the nature of a distringas to compel his appearance, Mr. Law argued upon the same side, and quoted several authorities. The Acts for the prevention of in conveniences arising from the privilege of Parliament applied to every Court of Record, and were not con fined to the Courts of Westminster. Mt. Batman) argued that the attachment ought to be discharged upon the filing of common bail. Mr. Walrond was not, he contended, liable to be held to bail in that Court. The plaintiff's action must be brought according to the custom, and it must appear upon the return that Mr. Wifirond was non eft inventor et aihii, before he could be made amenable, and no such return had been made: Mr. Law said that such return had been made: Mr. BARNARD denied ir. How could it be said that ' Mr. Walrond could be held to bail? In what Court could be be held to bail ? No capiaa could se against his person. He could not be brought into that Court, and therefore the foundation of the action failed. The question really was, whether this Gentleman, as a Mem- War the House of Commons, could be held to bail in that Court ? How would the Speaker of the House of Commons digest the intelligence, that because a Mem ber refused to appear in that Court be was sent to the Poultry Compter? Mr. Law—He wouldn't like it at ail. I dare sal.—VA The Beconsma—Well, Mr. Barnard, I have very little doubt indeed on the case, but I shall confider k.—Judgment postponed. Tuesday night some villains broke open the hen. roost of Mr. Robert Tyler, of Brook•green, Hammer ' smith, and stole the whole of his valuable game-cocks. • THEATRICAL ANECDOTE. • 4 Much amusement is excite'd in ihe tlierkrical circles on the subject of the courtship•of one of the most fasci ...noting of our singers by a Gentleman - of fortune, to *whom she has been lately united. The following par ticulars, which we give without decoration or over charge, are the most striking connected with the history of this romantic affair : The Lady, while performing in one of the popular operas brought out a few seasons ago, played the mischief with the heart of a poor man who, though of sufficient sank and wealth to venture upon a self-ititroduction amongst such " small fry," did not know exactly how to go about it. At last an opportunity presented itself. He was informed that the Lady was to set off for Manchester, on a certain day, in the mail, and putting two bank notes, the one for 1001. the other for 101. in bis pocket, he paid for the three vacant seats in the coach, in the expectation of a delightful tde d tete. How great then must have been ' his disappointment, when upon entering the coach he found, net the exquisite creature whoic features were ever present to his imagination, but an old harridan, like her of whose chin Sheridan said from the mouth of the Jew, " a razor would not be amiss for either of its." Before he reached the second stage he left his com panion in disgust; but having received the str(mgest assurances that she whom he sought must reach Man chester within at . given time, he drove off in a post-' chaise. They *ached the town nearly at the same moment. This was ominous; but still he was at a loss for as introduction, and in this emergency he , determined at length to 44 stoop to conquer, 'by asso ciating with her satellites. He set op at a fashionable hotel, and invited several of the performers to dine with him ; but as he did not wish that his family should be informed of his pranks, he passed with his landlord and guests as Mr. Jenkins. Many a jovial scene took place in the house of the landlord, who, although he liked the address and liberality of Mr. Jenkins well enough, by no means admired his choice of companions, and thought it was high time to send in the bill. The day before this determination was come to, however, an awkward accident occurred to poor Mr. Jenkins. The benefit night of his beloved was advertised. Here wagon occasion 1 for introducing himself with the most acceptable grace. He knocked at the door. She was at home: - He announced him self in his real name. titre had beard it before, and blushed to hear it again. He was admitted to her prc.ence, looked, sighed, begged a ticket, received it, seized the hand that held it, kissed it, threw a bank note upon the table, looked and sighed again, and ran out of the house. " Now," said be to himself, " that I have accomplished so much, I had better go home to prevent the suspicions of my suother. I shall just pay my bill with this 1001. note, and be off." He pulled out his only bank -note, and looked at it as Macbeth locked at .the 44 air-drawn dagger." It was the 101. He had given the other for the ticket for the play. His bill , V 1.15 nearly 60/., and he was a stranger in Manchester, and nqt master of more than a sixth part of the sum. In this extremity he wished to apply to a banking-house in the town, confident that the name 11 his family must be known there. Having menti ned to one of the partners his necessity, which, he said, was occasioned by a strange accident, he told his name, and requested that his draught upon his banker in London might be cashed. The Manchester banker was willing to oblige, but he thought proper to inquire the applicant's address is the town, and having requested that he would be seated for a few minutes, sent to the hotel to learn some particulars. The land lord stayed when he heard a name so unlike that of his new guest. " No," said he, " I have nobody of that name in my house, but by —1 have somebody very like him, and I believe be is a bit of a schemer, for be looked very blue when I asked him for my bill" This intelligence was immediately brought to the banker, who thereupon, politely, but coldly, expressed his regret that the acedtbmodation could not be afforded. The unfortunate lover' had now no alternative but that of wilting to London. His landhstd, who eyed him with the greatest suspicion (for the report that he had applied at the bankers soon reached the hotel). resolved that hiacustoaots should never go out without a guard; so that wherever he went, a distorted shee.boy was seen at his heels, until a - remittance arrived, and enabled him to enter-without his filthy companion into the presence of the Lady who was then the dearest object of bis wishes, and is now, of course, the greatest Witte of his felicity. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Jose' tb6 case Mr. Edward Jones a caalanerehaat is White.friars, appeared upon summons before Sir Presa Latium, Ito answer the complaint of Mr. Thomas Jones, landlord of the White Hone hut letter-luxe , who accused him of unlawfully de. seining four bills Of ft:chasm value 2004 and upwards, which had been entrusted to him to discount. Mr. Harmer attended fur the complainant, and a Mr. Castle for the defendant; and there was much examination and crom-examl oath= of witnesses, and not a little altercation between the princi pals; but the case itself lay in a nut-shell, and was briefly thus— Mr. Thomas Jones bought his coals of Mr. Edward Jaws, and there are some outstanding bills between them, partly accommoda tive sat& partly real; but they were old acquaintanees, and Mr. Thomas Jones had no reason to suspect that Mr. Edward Jones woull.do any thing illiberal He therefore proposed to him to diecount four bills of exchange for 2001. dec. which were about to come into his possession ; and Mr. Edward Jones readily undertook to give bin cash foe them • but when they were sent to bias for that purpose be returned 301. only, and detained the residue u a set off, or security, against his coal account, and tile other outstanding matters above-mentioned, It thus appeased, that Ir. Edward Jones had at least a colour able right to detain the bills, and therefore Sir Puna Lain dis missed the complaint as not cognizable before him ; but he re commended hint to restore them. To which recommendation Mr. Edward Jones replied, that he should leave the affair entirely to his solicitor, ana thereupon the parties withdrew—the one threaten ing an action at law, and the other promising to defend it. MA R LBO R OU .STREET.CIH • An invalided pensioner of the 6ah Regiment, of the name of Williams, lately returned from the West Indies, with a wife and two children, was stationed at the Depot at Chatham, till regularly discharged, whence be removed to a lodging in Jews'-row, Chelsea, preparatory to his going to Ireland.

In an hoer after the , prisoner returned to the White Bear booking.ollice, is Maar, told the clerk the soldier was going to remain in London a week longer, and obtained the chest. The poor -fellow travelled with his family to Bristol, and there learned that the waggon bad at.. rived without his chest. He left his family At Bristol, and tea. veiled to London with only four shillinp in hirpocket, and arrived, on Monday at Chelsea. He went to the prisoner, who advised him to go back again, telling him it had gone down, no doubt, while be was coming up. Williams not being satisfied, asked the 'prisoner to go to the White Bear, and speak to the clerk for him.

Between four and five o'clock the preceding evening he took a quar►ern of gin, which bad been ordered by the deceaseu child, to the stables in filary.ta bonne Mews, where he saw the prisoners. When he went there he nearly filled a glass with gin, and Hill took it and handed it to the child, who drawl' it all. Wit. ness poured out a second glad-full, and Hill havir.g thank a little out of it,filled it almost to the top, and then gave it. the chJd, wha drank it all. The tidier prisoners were present. The child, atter swallowing the contents of the last glass, seemed rather giddy. Bin asked hint how he liked the gin ? and he replied, •• very well."

The remainoer was then given by liill to the child. Here Mr. GRITIITY, and every other person in the Office except the piseners, uttered some exclamations of horror. Mr. MALLET, the Chief Cletk, observed that the witnesses said nothing abort the prisoner flanclilf, but that he had been present when the gin was given to the child. Mr. GILIFFIT)S said tarot it was proved that he bad been present during the whole of this nefarious transaction. fluckridge, the officer, stated, that the child was as fine a boy as could be seen, and was in perfect health on Wednesday morning. Mr. GUIFITH said, that with respect to Hill there could be no doubt of his guilt, but as to the other prisoner there might be some shade of difference. For the present he should (Inland them both for further examination. The prisoners were then removed from the bar, and notice was sent to Air. STIRLING, the Coroner, in order that the necessary steps should be taken for holding an Inquest on the body of the child. HATTON.GARDEN. A deaf and dumb lad, named Waits, was charged with the fol lowing atrocious attempt to injure a valuable horse, belonging to a person named Wall, a stable-keeper, in Black Horse -court, (;ray's Prom the evidence it appeared, that the prisoner entertains a most vicious propensity to irjare every kind of animal that augurs within his reach, forting hot iron down doge throats, sprinkling ' aquafortis over fowls, pouring scalding water over cats, &c. About eight o'clock yesterday morning (his father's premises adjoining those of Mr. Wall), he was seen to go into the stable, and was abort! y after followed by Mr. Wall, who, to his horror and astonish. meat, caught him in the act of forcing a piece of window-lath, three feet long, into the ►owels of a horse. The boy immediately ran out, but was pursued, anti taken into custody. The horse sank to the ground in a site of exhaustion, and is dot expected to recover. This is the third occasion oa which valuable ►orses have fallen vktioss to the diabolical practices of this young monster. The prisoner, who bad been educated in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, in writing denied the charge, declaring he had never been in the stable at all; bat Mr. lionessreeollecting him to have been before him for a similar offence, ordered him to be remanded till to-day, when the state of the horse might be ascertained, declaring ,that, should the account be unfavourable, he should inflict the full penalty of three months' impiisonment.

He acknowledged that he had, on his way to the setae of his guilt, witnessed the ter rible example in the Old Bailey ; yet so little effect had it cm his mind, that he committed the crime within the space of an hour. We stated yesterday, that a poor famine•struck man entered the shop of Mr. Drew, baker, in Newcastle. street, Strand, and seizing a loaf, ran off with the utmost expedition. Yesterday three fellows followed the example, and each decamped with a loaf. They were purpled, and one of them taken, but, through humanity, Mr. D. suffered him to depart.
