Tuesday last a dog belonging to Mr. VACGIIAN, of Olney Vnl, near Oxford, saw an rel in the mill-stream, when he in ctantly leaped into the water, and brought the eel out aUve. PEDESTRIAN WAGER. Mr. Posers, of Great l'ortland-street, undertook for a wager of twenty guineas, to go to the 13th mile stone on the Bath .o.ld, from Piccadilly and hack to Hyde-Park-Corner, a dis tance of twenty-six miles, in four hours. Ile started yesterday !miming at five o'clock from Hyde-Park-Corner, and arrived at Hounslow at thirty-two minutes past six. We returned back. again to Hounslow, after touching the mile-stone, at thirty-six minutes past seven, having one hour and fifty-two minutes kk to perform the other ten miles, which was twenty minutes more time than what he did it in on going out : bets were then in his favour, and he appeared in high spirits. Ile was exactly an hour going the next five miles, and was then so fatigued that he gave up the wager, having five miles more to perform in fifty-two minutes, although half an boor before giving in, he offered to doubt: th- bet. One of the Gentlemen who accompanied him on horseback, has undertaken to go the same distance in the &igen tiu.e, for forty :unites, ou Friday neat. BOXING. ,_. Saturday. a desperate battle was fought at Sheerness, amidst a great concourse of people, between the celebrated pugilist Clattries Horner, a navigator, and a young man, a bricklayer, of the name of 4peatter, working in the yard, which lasted the space of one hour and forty minutes, and in which upwards of seventy rounds were fought, in most of whin' Spencer bad the advan tage, by knocking his adversary dots, nearly every round: yet so confident were the friends of liar er of his getting the vie s tory, that they offered six to one on their man. The battle was moat obstinately contested, and the bricklayer spewed a bottom seldom witnessed, and in the end, by putting in a well directed closer in bis antagonist's side, rendered him so completely unfit to renew the contest, that he was led off by his friends with one eye quite closed, and an arm dreadfully disabled, so much so, that it is feared he will lose the use of it ; _while the bricklayer was greeted by loud shouts of applause by his fellow-workmen. Yesterday afternoon two fruit-women quarrelled about a stand at the cad of Fleet-Market ; they proceeded to blows, and is the affray one of them bit the other's ear off. GLOUCESTER MUSIC MEETING: The preparations for the Grand Musical Festival at Gloucester have been going on for some time. The Blum arrived at his Palace on the 15th instant to make the necessary arrangements. Tuesday evening several well-known thieves arrived at Gloucester, by the Bristol coach ; they were fortunately soon af terwards discovered by Lavender, the Bow-street officer, who turned them out of the City. The com mencement of the performances took place on Wed nesday morning, under very inauspicious circum stances—a storm of wind and rain, with very little intermission, lasting during the whole of the day ; the Cathedral, however, was crowded to excess in every part, and also the avenues. The company began to arrive before nine o'clock, although the Church ser vice and performance did not begin till eleven, at which hour the BISHOP took his seat on his throne, and the DEAN in his proper place. The Corporation went in procession, with their maces, the cap of maintenance, and sword of state; the Mayor and Aldermen wearing very handsome scarlet robes, ti immed with broad fur. The over ture to « Esther" was led off in fine style by Mr. CRAMER and a very excellent band. The obligato movements for the oboe and bassoon were never heard to finer effect than as they were given by Mr. Galt/MACH and Mr. HOLMES. The gland " Dettin gen Te Deuin" was well supported by a numerous assemblage of chorus singers, who were very judi ciously selected. The .oio and verse pmts were very finely sung by Master MARSHALL, Messrs. W. KNY VETT, VAUGHAN, HAWES, and BELLAMY. The ab sence of 3lr. BARTLEMAN from the orchestra was occasioned by afflicting and severe indisposition, but Mr. BELLAMY proved himself a very able substitute; he was in excellent voice. An appropriate Anthem, composed by Dr. BOYCE for a full Band, was extremely well performed, in which is the celebrated duet—" Here shall soft charity repair."—lt was admirably performed by Mr. VAUGHAN and Mr. BELLAMY. The Musical performances concluded with the Coronation Athem, which was enthusiastically and effectiveiy , The Church Service was read by the Rev. Mr. Mtn.- Low, and the Rev. Mt. WEBB ; the Sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. WETHERELL, one of the Stewards. At the e close,. a liberal Collection was made at the door for the Charity. In the evening, a Grand Miscellaneous Concert took pl.ice in the County Hall. The first part con sisted of a selection from L'Allegro ed el Penseroso, in which Mr. VAUGHAN enraptured the audience by the chase and effective style in which he gave, " Come, come, thou goddess fair and free." The other prin cipal singers were Mrs. SALMON, Miss STEPHENS, and Mr. BELLAMY. MtS,SALMON, in "Sweet Bird," was accompanied on the violin by Mr. CRAMER.— In the second part, Miss STEPHENS was encored in " Cease your funning," as was also the delightful Glee, " Return blest days," by Messrs. W. KNIVETT, VAUGHAN, HAwEs, and BELLAMY.—Mr. LINDLEY played a Concerto on the Violoncello in his usual style of superior exceilence.—The Overture " Ana creou" went off extremely well. A man of the name of M'Cann was yesterday charged, at Worship-street Office, with the murder of John Cooper, the Chesterfield carrier, in Novem ber, 1818. The evidence, however, was not suffi ciently strong to warrant the prisoner's fully com mittal, and he was ordered for re-examination. By a Return presented to the House of Commons, it appears that there at present no less than thirty two persons in the custody of, the Warden of the Fleet Prison for contempts, upon processes issuing out of the Courts of Chancery and Exchequer. The first name on this list is HANNAH BARER, who, it ap pears, was committed to prison on the 80th of July, 1789, upon a wilt of rebellion, in which it is stated, that her rebellion (as it is technically called) consisted in not paying a sum of £406 17s. 7d. into the Bank in pursuance of a decree of the Court of Chancery. From the great length of time for which this unhappy woman has suffered imprisonment, more than thirty one years, it is presumed that she was unable to obey the decree. The other prisoners have remained in custody for various lengths of time ; one twenty-one years, another nineteen years, and so on. To this account is added a list of persons who died in cus tody since the year 1812, the number amounting to twenty. Of these one unfortunate man had passed thirty-one years, ten months, and fourteen days, under personal restraint; two had suffered imprison ment for font teen years, and others for periods of eleven, nine, and eight years. Sunday evening a number of boys were amusing themselves by damming up the end of a trough, which formerly conveyed water to the water-wheel of the corn-mill at Sutton, in Cheshire, in order, as they said, to make a splash when the clods were re moved. Owing to a weight of water, the trough gave way, bringing along with it a considerable quantity of.stones of large dimensions, and precipi: tated six of the boys into the cavity below; two were killed on the spot, two others were severely bruised, and are since dead; a fifth lies in a most dangerous state, and the sixth was slightly injured. A young Gentleman, named BAKER, residing at Thames Ditton, enjoying, a few days since, the pas time of partridge-shooting, observed an adder in the grass. With a view of destroying the animal, he imprudently struck at it with the butt of his fowling. piece, which coming in violent contact with the ground, occasioned its discharge, and lodging the contents in the abdomen of the unhappy youth, coaused death: .COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held for the dispatcll of public business. Soon after the Loan MAY3R had taken the Chair, Mr. OLDHAM observed, that he had seen it, with some surprise, stated in the public newspapers, that notwithstanding the proceedings of a former Court —he believed the last, or the last but one—and in which the conduct of certain Aldermen who neg lected their public duty was made the subject of representation, Mr. Alderman Ansley had neglected for a whole week to attend the' Justice-room of the Old Bailey, and had not appointed any one to attend in his stead. He also observed it stated (his only authority being still the public newspapers), that Mr. Alderman Heygate, who should have attended for Sir Claudius Hunter, did not attend there till past two o'clock. It might be in the recollection of the Court, that upon one occasion, when he took the op portunity of representing to Lord Sidmouth that the City could not spare three or four Aldermen for the Militia, a worthy Sheriff said, that he did not know of one instance of neglect of duty. Afterwards, when he (Mr. Oldham) had mentioned this circum stance before the Common Council, the same worthy Sheriff declared, that he could not recollect the fact in question —an instance of forgetfulness so singular, that he must pardon him for calling him a "Non nti ricordo" Sheriff—(Orderer, order). The LORD MAYOR believed that there had been some omission on the part of Mr. Alderman Hey gate; but he knew the fact, as well as the Hon. Gen tleman himself, merely from what he had seen in the public prints. As to Mr. Alderman Ansley, he was uninformed of any neglect attaching to him, but must leave that point to be explained by the worthy Sheriff, whose duty it was to attend at the place alluded to. With respect to any a!teration in the arrangement to be observed in the attendance of Aldermen at the Justice-room Of the Old Bailey, he was not aware that any was requisite, or could be advantageously effected. The duties of their station had much increased with the increase of tbe popu lation ; and it might he difficult to find a greater .number of Gentlemen with the requisite talents, cha racter, and fortune, to give their attendance. • Mr. Alderman ROTHWELL was proceeding to reply to the observations which had been made relative to the non-attendance of Mr. Alderman Ansley at the Justice-room, Old Bailey, when he was interrupted by Mr. OLDHAM, who explained that he meant the Justice-room, Guildhall—not at the Old Bailey. Mr. Sheriff ROTHWELL then said, that as to the attendance of Aldermen at the Old Bailey, he did not believe that there had been any neglect on the part of Mr. Alderman Ansley. But as to the pro ceedings of the Justice-room, Guildhall, the Common Council were aware that the proceedings did not come under his immediate cognizance. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN then came forward.— He had a communication to make to the Common Council from her Majesty--and a communication of this sort always took precedence of all others— (Hear, hear).—lt became his duty to state to the Court, that he had received, yesterday, from a worthy Magistrate, who was not at present in town, a letter, enclosing the paper which he should now take the liberty of reading to the Court. This paper was signed " Matthew Wood," and he should have hesi tated to communicate it in the way he had now de termined to do, but for reasons which he would pre sently state to them. The letter was as follows : " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Com mon Councilmen, of the City of London, in Common Council assembled. " I am Commanded by her Majesty the Queen, to request that the Corporation of London will accept her Majesty's por trait, as a testimony of her Majesty's gratitude to the Citizens of London, and of her attachment to the Corporation of the first city in the world, for the sincere and zealous loyalty which they have ever manifested In the cause of the Queen. "September 20. (Signed) " M. WOOD." (Hear, hear).—He had felt it his duty, immediately upon receiving this note in an envelope from the worthy Alderman (Wood), to wait upon the Lord Mayor, and make the communication known to him. Finding, however, upon entering the Mansion House, that the Lord Mayor was not at home, he had en closed the note to his Lordship, requesting him to take the necessary steps : and this he felt to he, for his own part, at once the most regular and the most respectful course of proceeding. 'That morning, however, he had received a letter from the Lord Mayor, couched in these terms: " Mansion House, 23d September, 18.10. "'lie Lard Mayor presents his compliments to Mr. Alder man Watchman, and enclosed, returns the paper, signed Mat thew Wood, which he must decline presenting to the Court of Common Council, because be thinks, under existing circum stances, that it would be inconsistent with his duty to inter meddle with an affair of so much importance." —Now whether he (Mr. Waithman) had taken the proper measures or not, in acting as he had done, he could not say ; all that he telt assured of was, that he had acted according to the motives of his own . heart, and the dictates of his own conscience. It had indeed occurred to him that the most proper and re spectful channel for such a communication should be the Lord Mayor; but in that expectation, at least, the event shewed he had been mistaken. He still felt it to be his duty to make the communication to the Co. , -t; and, before he concluded, he intended to submit this Motion— " That her Majesty's most generous offer of her portrait be gratefully acknowledged ; and that the thanks of this Court be presented to her Majesty for this mark of her condescension and regard for the Corporation and Citizens of the City of London." —He did not know what might be their opinion upon the way in which he hnel prepared such a Motion ; but.this he knew—that there was nothing which her Majesty had more at heart than the good of the Ci tizens of London; and that nothing had made more impression upon that heart than the conduct of they City, in the sympathy and interest which it had evinced in her behalf. He considered that her Ma -1 jesty offered this tribute, not as an adequate return_ for those feelings, but as the only one which it was in her power to give : and upon these grounds, he conceived that the Court would concur unanimously with his Motion—(Hear, hear). Mr. OLDHAM rose to second the Resolution, but he confessed that a happier moment might have been selected for presenting the letter in question. It was due to the Court to receive the communication, though presented at a moment when they would make up their minds upon the imputed guilt, or the ex pected innocence of her Majesty. He hoped that I site would come out of the investigation pure and unsullied. and them he was stir,. that every Member of the Coin wouicrtvisir to oft the portrait of her Majesty hung up in the Common Council Chamber —(Hear).—lt was unfortunate that they could not now go to as great lengths as they would wish, but they would only do justice to their feelings or their judgment, to receive, with respect and gratitude, the picture which she was plea s ed to offer t hem, - and to return their respectful thanks to her Majesty. He was glad that the Resolution stopt just there. If it• went an iota further, he would feel it his duty to vote to reject it, and he believed the majority of the Court would concur with him. Mr. Ewell. said, he would not say anything that might provoke a debate. Consulting their character and honour, the Court could do no other than accept with grateful feelings the tribute which her Majesty was pleased to pay then). Could, he asked, any One doubt the propriety of the former decisions of the Court with respect to her Majesty, since the Conn bad marked their feelings towards her, and she fe -1 ceived the Corporation in the handsomest manner? It was natural, therefore, that her Majesty should shew them this mark of her regard, and they could not but accept her offer with grateful feelings—.., ( Hear, hear).—ln his opinion it would not have de` graded the Lord Mayor to have made the communi cation to the Court, coming, as it did, from the Queen •of England—(Hear, hear). They were indebted tothe worthy Alderman for bringing it before thetas, caber= wise they might never have received it. Thectiord Mayor, acting in a ministerial capacity, should not have consulted his politics, but ought to discharge his public duty to that Court. Mr. toms expressed his hope that her Majesty would come out of the ordeal of inquiry with a pure, character; then would he be as willing as any mats to bear his humble testimony in her favour ; but it was his opinion that the Court had not acted wisely in their former interference, and that they ought not again to interfere pending the proceedings against her Majesty. Should her Majesty come pure out of the inquiry, it would be almost their duty to request that she would honour them with her portrait ; but he would nut ho)d up his hand in favour of the Re solution, considering it, as he did, an inconsiderate act. He would not, however, hold up his hand against it. Mr. PEACOCK thought that it was not the duty of the Lord Mayor to present the communication.to the Court, but that it came more appropriately from the worthy Alderman. Mr. T. J. WILLIAMS saki, he would wis% to pay every mark of respect towards her Majesty, but he thought that, pending the investigation, it was too much'to ask them to accept her Majesty portrait— (Laughter)—that was the way of judging of the (thing—(Laughter).—The nation would say, that we accepted of this present • with satisfaction—(Hear, hear)—and that after hearing the charges against her Majesty—(Hear, hear) —and the evidence that sup ported those charges—(Heer,hear)—without having beard any evidence on the other side— (/:car, hear). So that they must be already convinced of her inno cence—(Crier of Hear, hear). Such must be their impression when they accepted of the picture of her Majesty with pleasure and satisfaction—((;heers).— This would be the inference which would be drawn by every Corporation in the kingdom—(Hear, hear). Would they wish that such an impression should go forth ?—(Hear, hear). Then, if, unfortunately, the two Houses of Parliament should degrade her Ma jesty, what a lamentable situation would they be in ? It was better, in his opinion, to enter the communi cat:on of her Majesty on their Journals, and then it would be competent for them, at any future period, to have the picture hung up in the Council Chamber. Mr. GRIFFITHS wished to know what harm it would do them to accept the gracious offer of her Majesty ? on what ground would they attempt to refuse it? He was aware, that cn any question, how ever obvious, or however popular, one or two could be always found to throw it into the back ground ; but the Court could do nothing but accept with gra titude the offer of her Majesty. Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAH said, that the Corpo. ration of London had witnessed and opposed acts of oppression against her Majesty, such as were never witnessed before—(Hear, heir). They had supported her Majesty under those trials—they supported her with the people, whose respect and affection she pos sessed—(Hear, hear). They, as men, could not have acted any other part. If the Corporation had w it nesscd those acts of oppression unmoved—if they had not stept forward in favour of her Majesty—if they waited until the full tide of charge had been let in upon her, their interference afterwards would be useless and insulting to her, and neither dignified neat manly as reflecting upon themselves. - He simply wished by the Resolution to convey to her Majesty the gratitude of the Court. He was not surprised at the observations which fell from some Gentlemen, when he recollected the sentiments they had expressed on a former occasion ; they were perfectly consistent in the line they took. He would beg, however, to make one observation, in answer to a Gentleman (Mr. Williams). That Gentleman said, suppose the two Houses of Parliament should pronounce her Majesty guilty, how lamentable then will be the condition of the Corporation ! He conceived that their situation would not be lamentable ; they would, on the con trary, be placed in a dignified and honourable condi tion—(Hear)—whilst the two Houses of Parliament would be themselves in a lamentable and degraded situation—( Hear, hear).—Looking at the evidence that had been given, and those by w honk. it was given --looking to the bribes and threats that were held out against her Majesty—and, in short, to all the circumstances of this extraordinary and revolting case, he would say that, even should both Houses of Parliament decide against her Majesty, it would not alter, in the slightest degree, his opinion of her Ma jesty's conduct—(Hear, hear)—it would not remove the deep impression of lur innocence which he felt—. (Hear, hear). An Honourable Gentleman had talked of an impression going abroad that her Majesty was not guilty. Who was afraid of that impression, and who doubted but that it was already deeply made on the public mind ?—(Hear, hear). The Court had that impression —(Hear) —the Country had that im pression—(Hear, hear). On this subject there was but one generous feeling pervading the whole Kingdom—(Cheers). The question was then put and carried, almost unanimously ; four er five hands only having been held up against it. Mr. Alderman WA IT II A N. next came for aid ,
