Wow. neighbours. your names having answered the call That I. the Duke's Ulcer, made in the scrawl, With my book of Destructions—the child of my brain, — I'll bestow , all my tediousness on you again : T e s....and %Wan a thousand times more than it be, I could find in my beast to bestow it on ye Far disauter than all the wise men of St. Luke's, Tho' I'm only an piker of the poor Duke's. 'TN in orders, mj musters, whatever you bear, When 'tie spoken in print, you must lend a deaf ear, So mind what I'm saying at this present writing, Nor desist when the call of your duty's Indicting. Make no noise in the streets, if you sit, stand, or walk, For the watch, masters, sever should babble or talk, It is most meretricious, diagraming, and meet For an orderly watch to disorder the street— So deep, neighbours, rather than prattle er laugh, But be sure that your pockets eat picked of your staff, Lest the thieve, when you're dosing, should take it in heed. To opinion the constables up in their stead. Bear your lanterns discreetly, to show you don't wince. And bid any man stand in the rune of the Prince : If the varlet won't stand—take no note of him then, Let him go on his ways—like all warfarin men, And presently call up the rest of the watch. Aed thank Goo you've got rid of a knave you can't catch. If the robbers by money, or presence, or vales, (As anglers for sprats bait their fish-books with whales) Should try to traduce you, or laugh in your sleeve, You're foebid to take bribes, without Ant asking leave. As at all times and hours, by an order express, T o o* acquired to appear in your Constable's dress, 'Tweakd save time, just to get It well sewed on at first.

And thus you'll be found, like a bird in the nest, With your wings on your bead, ready feathered and drat. To be sure, for economy's sake, 'twould be well, With a rugged " Rap-Based" to cover your shell— You know what a " Bap. lessee is by report, "Tie a coat made on purpose for men of your met Thus. your Constable's dress will wear better std (He that takes hints in time, will grow wise when he's younner)— Besides, when you're taking a mouthful of test.

They'll have nothing to do—but to strut and to swagger ; And aping your airs, with a staff and a dagger, Command the poor lieges, in Majesty's name, If they've silver or gold to deliver the same; And (stealing a leaf from your orderly books.) Swear " they've cause to suspect them, because of their looks—. " That 'tie prov'd they're a spleious indigenous knaves.

Should a rogue be so lost to eternal disgrace, As to prove he's a pious false knave to your face. As soon as you see him admitting the fact, Comprehend the reUnqueot ad. pm. is the act.

And tell him revenge in such safety is sweet— Tho' no crime ks contmitted—yet still yeas were right, You had grounds to respect, and were justified quite. All you that's 'lecherous, spritefol, and smart. With the good of yourselves and the country at bean. That like carrion crews in a rookery, strive, Who shall deepest, in search of the dirty work, dive— AU you unto menial diniplinance used, And that makes the most noise, wiU be sure to be &used To fill the top-places—the way that the crows That's the worst of black game, tills the best et the bought. 'Tim laid down in my book—that's plain sew to a fool— A slave's the best hand at tyrannical rule— And 'twas said eother day by an ancient most knowing, That old thieves make the best of all thief-catchers ries ; So by the same rule of contrary we learn, Old slaves make the best of slave-driven in turn. Then, Muter. ! be grateful for what you can catch, And keep regular hours as becomes a good wateh.— Now, neighbour, with circumspect capituladeo, retail all the duties of every man's station : You'll be sure to take care, and commit false report, And be found where the worst malefacten resort; Moreover, you'll know every room in each house. Every cupboard and crook that could shelter a mostes.— Every cranny and chink—every bole In the wall— But you need not look after the Rat-helee at all : Search well every place where their dirt they deposit, Every sewer, every drain, every sink, every closet On such matters momentous, you know bangs the fats. And the honour and glory of every free state.

They were dressed in regular Newmarket style, and rode their own horses. Four heats were accomplished in about an hour and a half, to the evident delight both of actors and spec tators.

The amusements upon the Downs were by a diversity of entertainments at the Royal Gardens. pony and donkey races, jumping in sacks, snap-apple, grinning , through a collar, Ikc. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.—Tho demand for Cotton continues very good, and the sales to-day amount to 3,500 bags. Matters generally appear es the Improvement. The potato-growers round London are busily employed In digging up and housing their crops, which are, in general, abun dant in quantity and excellent in quality. So cold have the nights already become, that the ther mometer, in a sheltered situation, fell on Tuesday to U. The sharp frosts which have occurred during the last week have given an autumnal tinge to the foliage throughout the country; and many descriptions of trees are fast losing their leaves altogether. ST. EDMUND'S.—An alarming occurrence took place at Stanton. near Bury, on Sunday @Alden, which might have been attended with very serious results. The Rev. R. R. Pays. had hem officiating at Fakenham Church that morning, and his horse having thrown a shoe eo his retorts, be left him at Bardwell, and proceeded homeward on foot ; but in crossing the fields at Stanton be was pursued by a bull, and was obliged to ascend a tree, where be remained nearly two hours before the furious animal would leave the spot. His congregation at Hepworth bad been waiting for him in the most anxious suspense for a long time before he arrived. We hope that the owner of the bull will not forget theseverity with which the kw regards the placing of a vicious bull in a field where there is an accustemed footpath. LEAP IN THE DAILIC.OIII the night of Saturday last, about hilliest aloe o'clock, a foreigner, the master of a vessel in the port of Hull, took a " leap in the dark," which, fortunately for him, however, was not attended with any very disastrous re main. Whether he considered it a short road we know not, but he vaulted over the parapet of the Sutton drain-bridge, at the entrance of the Groves, expecting no doubt to alight safely on the other side, at the depth of the parapet. Instead of finding terra firma, however, be fell headlong into the drain, which is of con. siderable depth at this place. The current tar ried him into the river Hull, where the tide urged him to proceed through the centre arch of the North-bridge. The victim of his own precipitancy here began to raise ao alarm with the voice of a &enter, and was at length got out by some men belonging to a sloop in the Old Harbour. A gratifying sight to the admirers of the apostolic Church in Britain has recently been witnessed in the Northern Highlands of Scotland, which contain groat mumbo vet 4kt:e psilon who have strenuously resisted all attempts on the part of the Kirk to subvert their religious creed. In the tri ennial Visitation of the Bishop of Ross and AMYL% (the eery learned and amiable Dr. Law,) to the remote parts of his Diocese, for the purpose of holding Confirmations, be was attended wheresoever be travelled by crowds of both the ancient gentry and the lower classes of the community. In many places the rude chapels were too small to contain his willing aeditery, and he was hence, in several instances, obliged to read the service of the Church and perform the other devotional exer cises le the open air. underneath the rocks ; thus paralleling be aim plldty the actions oldie primitive Apostles.

The system of sending circulars by the several hop merchants to their respective customers, which is generally adopted at this Se3ioll of the year for the purpose of giving information respecting the crop of hops, being much complained of by many persons living in the country, it has been determined by a large . ponion of the merchants, in compliance with what they think will be more satisfactory, to discontinue the prac tice ; and, in lien thereof, annually to address the infor mation through the medium of the public papers. On the present occasion .there is but little to communicate. It is well known, that for the last four months tie plantations have been very seri ously blighted, and it is now quite certain that a very short crop must be the result. The duty is estimated at 34.0001. About two-thirds of the crop is picked, and in most instances put into pockets. A part, but it is expected to be only a small portion, of the crop, will no doubt be good in quality. CUSlllaraelr. Per Cwt. New Kent Pockets W. N. to 121. 12s. _ _ _„ Superfine higher. Ditto.

On Tuesday morning, according to announcement, the whok of the new Police force, nearly 900 strong, assembled in 'front of the Foundling lio•pital, for the purpose of being inspected by the Commissioners, preparatory to commencing their duties as conservators Of the public peace. A number of persons were assembled • outside the gates of the Hospital. attracted by curiosity, to observe the men as they entered the gates ; and the space at the end of Lamb's Coodult-street was rendered almost impassable for carriages in consequence of the crowded state of the street. Seieral of the new Police force assembled In front ot, and within, the Lamb public-house in Lamb's Conduit-street. where they (unified themselves for the business of the day by partaking of gin and beer, to the great benefit of the landlord, who reaped a plentiful !Invest from the money spent at his house. The men arrived in rapid succession from half-put 'tine till half-past ten oclock ; and, as they entered the gates, the mob col lected outside indulged very freely In remarks on their appear. ance. Several of the Policemen's coats were much too large for the wearers, and many jokes were passed, in consequence , by the mob. whom, as the men entered , reclaimed, " The ' tailor has not measured you right," " You've got the wrong coat on," and similar exclamations. Others appeared as if they had not known the luzury of a good coat fur some time, and they emelt' for a fair share of the wit of the mobility. 'Those who hap pened to be what is called " knock-kneed," were called tailors, and others, whose Cesh appeared nut to have indulged in the luxury of swap and cold water, were told to go home and wash themselves. The Policemen bore the remarks with great good humour; in fact, had they done otherwise, from the temper of the mob, a tow would have been the consequence. Several who made themselves rather officious, and returned the taunts of the people, were answered with shouts of derision and laughter. Mr. Thomas. the ex-constable of Covent Garden, who is ap pointed Superintendent, was recognised by a part of the multi tude, but he passed on unmolested. By eleven o'clock the whole force was mustered, and of er undergoing inspection, and per forming sundry evolutions, were allotted to their respective di... triers. The new Police were during the day the all absorb. ing subject of con ion, and scarcely any thing else appeared to be thought of. Instead of the usu al sa l u tation of " Hew' do you do?" when two persons happened to meet, is was " 'What do you think of the new Police?" In the evening several of the new Policemen were observed in a glorious Kate of intolication. rolling about the streets. About six o'clock two of them went through Clare-market, so drunk they could scarcely stand upright. On reaching Clue-street they were assailed with all manner of missiles and abuse by the basket-women, butchers, am! labqures,who abound in the neighbourhood, and were followed by a noisy rabble. shouting and beveling. Another of the new Policemen, about seven o'clock, passed through Ship-yard. Pickett-street, into Hemlock-court. and from thence into Carey. street. He appeared so inebriated as to be incapable of knowing what he was about. He was followed into Carey street by a num ber of children; and on reaching the end of Serie-street, he turned round upon the children, to drive them away, but, owing to the potent effects of the liquor he had so freely drank, he fell flat on his face, to the no small amusement of the persons who witnessed the scene. He afterwards retreated into Lineoln's•lnn-lields. followed by the young urchins, shouting " A drunken Policeman !" The sober portion who were on duty last night, however, appeared to pay particular attention to the duties they had to perform, and walked with a slow and solemn step, quite unmindful of the observations of those who passed them as they perambulated the street.—Morning Paper. --- A schism which has arisen between a very eminent mercantile house and a great dealer in the public securi ties, relative to certain stock speculations, attracts a good deal of attention among certain classes in the City. For sonic time past it, is understood that the house in question went hand in hand in the purchase of stock with the speculator alluded to; but, from some unexplained cause, the former, contrary to the wishes of the latter, has thrown on the Stock Market 450,000/. Consols, princi pally, we believe, for the next Settlement, which is the real cause of the decline in the prices of the Funds which has taken place within the last day or two. This circum stance was no doubt the more annoying to the great speculator, from the energy he has sliewn of late in en hancing the value of Stock, and of disseminating the belief that matters in the East of Europe will be amicably arranged, if, in fact, the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey has not already been signed. Of the extent of the purchases, of the Jewish interest during the last two or three months, it is impossible, of course, to arrive at anything like a correct conclusion; but that they exceed two or three millions is the general impression among the minor operators in the Stock Market. The unexpected sale, therefore, of nearly half a million of Consols, glut ting the market as it does, tends very much to counteract a rise, more especially when the sales made for the public appear to be breaking the spell ; and in the present in . stance, therefore, however successful the Jewish interest may have been heretofore, there is a strong probability of defeat. Much will of course depend on the result of the negotiations in the East of Europe ; and if they assume anything like an equivocal aspect, the Funds must neces sarily experience a further shock. The Jewish interest appears to have made very few exertions of late to pro duce a re-action, and the Bear party, therefore, antici pate still lower prices.—.4forning Chronicle. • CHIN ESE COMMERCIAL REPORT.—Such an unpre cedented inactivity in the commerce of the country pre 'calla, that almost every article of import is suffering depression. Although no reduction in the price of cotton has lately taken place, yet—there being no demand for the staple, attributable in a great measure to the spinners being withdrawn from their occupation, to attend to the cultivation of their Paddy grounds—the quotations must be reoeived as merely nominal. From the limited ins portations of saltpetre, this article has been sold at Lintin at 10s. per pecol. Sycce silver very scarce. No altera dem in European manufactures. The arrival of the Tartar, although bringing only 100 cheats of Bengal opium, occasioned a momentary depression of the market ; but the Chinese being encouraged, by a small retraining quantity, to enter upon some speculations, a material improvement had taken place. This observation, how ever, applies only to Patna and Benares, as the Malys, in the absence of demand, is merely at nominal prices. WINTRIL IN AUSTRALIA.MT.

PRESENTATION OF THE SHERIFFS .17 WESTMINSTER. Yesterday the new Sheriffs ( hlessrs. Ward and Itichardsen) ceeded in barges, with the Lord Mayor and Corporation Officer., to be presented to Dashes, F.sq. Cursitor Baron of the King's Exchequer. Although the citizens have the right or electing their Mayor and Sheriffs, these Officers must be presented to the Crown for approval—the lord Mayor to the Lord Chimenor, and the Sheriffs to the Barons of the Exchequer. 'I be right of objection has been seldom exercised, but there are instances in which the Sheriffs have been rejected. In the Stgal of Henry the Seventh (1506). Wm. Coppinger and Thomas Johnson, having been elected Sheriff., went before the Barons to be sworn; but Thos. Johnson was put back till they knew further of the King's pleasure. On the 10th of October (says Stowe) a commandment was brought from the King to the Lord Mayor, that be should cause an election to be made for a new Shrive. On the day of elec tion came into the Guildhall Edmond Dudley, the King's Presi dent, and there showed the King's letters, that the commons (commonalty) should name for the King's pleasure William Fitz - William, merchant and Alderman, as Sheriff for the sear ensuing, which, with much difficulty, was granted. This William Fits William, for the King's gracious favour to be Shrive this year, gave to the King 1001. in ready money, and he was of onwards of Counsel to Henry the Eighth."

The LOLD Mavos, who was in the Chair, proposed tt a various toasts. " The King and Royal Family" were received with en thusiasm. The Loan Karon nest proposed the health of his Majesty's Ministers. In doing so he said that notwithstanding the present distress of several ot the mantitacturers. yet he trusted to the genius and understanding of the Duke of Wellington for carrying the country through all its diSculties. The health of the Lord Mayer Elect was then drank. His Lordship Elect returned thanks in a iipeech remarkable fur good taste and point. On the health of the Sheriffs being drank, blr. Sheriff Itacsaasson retutned thanks in very eloquent terms, declaring his determination to maintain the rights of his fellow. citizens. and at the same time to perform his public duty with Many. Ills speech was much and deservedly applauded. The Under Sheriffs at their respective tables fully sustained, by the most engaging personal courtesy. the ancient hospitality ot the City. The Coldstream Band filled the gallery. and played during the ceasing some of the must admired airs Irons the modern Italian opera. Meson. Broadhurst, Fitswilliam, Bellamy, &c. lent their talents on the occasion. We scarcely remember a festival of civic cum memeradon better calculated than the entertainment of which we speak, to support the splendid reputation of the Corporation .•f London. The Prince of Vidonia, an Italian Noble, was present, and seemed to be very much struck at the hospitable display which he witnessed. . . FATAL ACCIDENT.--This morning, about half-past nine o'clock, a fatal accident occurred near St. Pancras New Church.
