ELECTION OP LORD MAYOR. THIS DAY. The Lord Mayor (ThicatnE), attended by the greater amber of the Aldermen, RECORDER, COMMON SeR• JEAN?, and other City Officers, after hearing a Ser mon at the Church of Old Lawrence Jewry, re turned to the Guildhall for the purpose of electing t h e LORD MAYOR for the year ensuing. The Rs- CORDER having taken the sense of the Livery on the claims of the different Aldermen who have not passed the Chair, declared that the majority of hands was in favour of Messrs. Aldermen MAGNAY and WAITHMAN. Mr. Alderman HRTGATE then came forward, and stated that he declined demanding a poll. Messrs. Aldermen MAGNAY and WAITIIMAN were then returned to the Court of Aldermen. In a short time the RECORDER returned, and an nounced, that the choice of the Court of Aldermen had fallen on Alderman MAGNAY, who was accord ingly proclaimed the Lord-Mayor elect for next year. .SIR GEORGE SLAVE COLLIER TRADE, 'S REPORT ON THE LY CONTINUATION FROM THE STAR OF YESTERDAY. " I saw at Havannah, in July last s no fewer than forty yes- , sell suing out for the Slave Trade, protected equally by the flags ss d pipers of France and Spain. France has certainly issued b e e decrees against this traffic, but she has done nothing to enforce them; on the contrary, she gives to the trade all coun tenance short of public avowal. i'iracy upon the coast of Africa b increasing; for a vessel so engaged has only to chew the flag of France, and starch by a British Officer incurs a penalty. On this distressing suhject, an revolting to every well regulated mind, I will add, that such is the merciless treatment of Slaves by the persons engaged in the traffic, that no fancy can picture the horror of the voyage. Crowded together, so as not to give the power to move—linked one to the other by the leg, never unfettered while life remains, or till the iron shall have fretted the flesh almost to the bone—forced under a deck, as I have seen them, not thirty inches in height, breathing an atmosphere the mast putri I, with little food and less wave—subject to the most severe punishment at the caprice of the brute who commands the vessel—it is to me a matter of extreme wonder that any of these miserable people live out the voyage. Many of them, in deed, perish, And those who remain present a picture of wretch edness language cannot describe." THE ARMY. Captains rA CLFIFT T 1 and KINGTON, Lieutenants ITINPLE and Th at aisnuontir, Cornets paivray and Pourer', and 70 Non commiss:oned Officers and privates of the 6th Carbineers, quar tered at Limerick and Cork, are reduced by the late Gene ral Order. Captains Sea ass and 114 4 Donwri.t., Lieutenants Wu.sox and Ensigns CACEN and CHRISTHr i and 111 privates of the 93d IlizhlaiKkrs, are also discharged. Captains RYAN and IS&taus'', Lieutenant Hanonn, F.nslgns SHAW and hloossox, and 150 privates of the 31st, quartered at Belfast, are also reduced. NAE4L INTELLIGENCE. TZLIZRAPHS.—The Government have ordered all the Tele graphs between the Admiralty and the Out-ports of England to be put in perfect repair. The old manner of communicating is bid aside, the new mode being considered infinitely more expe ditious sa d comprehensive. By the change of system the ques tion given at the home station will only be known to the Officer who presents it, and to him who last receives it at the distant pat. All persons intermediately employed will only have to make the fac-simile of the first signal and the returns, which stay be received in fifteen minutes, at the distance of seventy two miles, if the weather be tavourable. The workmen are busily employed at the Admiralty, at West-square, and other places. It is conjectured this repair is for the more speedy communication of intelligence during his bias/Ares absence on the Continent. Orders have been given to pay off immediately the Revenue cruizers—Cheerful, Captain Gam ; Hind, lieutenant F. U.N. Dolphin, Captain J.Ciarza; Antelope,Lieutenant H. E. GOLDSNITM, R.N.

All vessels for the westward are windbound, and among these are a couple of Indiamen, with metal small coasters. A new semaphore now erecting on the trot of the old magazine (which has long been converted into a storehouse belonging to theVictualling Department) is beginning to assume a tangible shape. The existing one on the platform is to be reduced, and the square room only is to be reserved, which it both ornamental and useful, as a sort of look-out house for the Officers of the Navy. - - - - - Btu., SEPT.

THE ICING'S PROGRESS. • CALAIS. THURSDAY MORNING. At ten o'clock yesterday morning the KING left Dessin's Hotel in the Rue Royale, taking the road to St. Omer's. His suite occupied four carriages. In the same carriage with his MAJESTY were the Mar quis Of CONTNOHAM and Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD. Lord MOUNT -CHA RLES, Colonel Ransarr, and the remainder of his suite, occupied the other carriages. His MAJusrv's travelling carriage is so fitted up, that he can sleep in it at ease. He travels with four horses en courier, and will make no stay anywhere on the, road till he reaches Brussels. His MAJESTY will re main there a few days. A Guard of Honour has been mounted at Dessin's Hotel since his arrival here, and the Mayor and Authorities were yesterday to wait upon the KING. At the moment of his departure a Royal salute was fired from the guns of the citadel. The Duke de CHARTRES has returned to Paris. The night of the KING'S arrival all the English seamen at Calais were regaled with an excellent din ner, and plenty of French brandy. The same night the vigilance of the Police was greatly relaxed, for the clifis were permitted to remain open till midnight. It is usual for the Gens-d'armes to clear them out at ten o'clock. The Police here is infinitely superior to our's. There is not a pickpocket at Calais. This place is thinning fast ; every packet takes home great numbers of English. This has not been considered a good season at Calais. RAMSGATE, SEPTEMBER 27. The KING'S late visit to this place continues the object of conversation in every circle. It is an ho nour that will not soon be forgotten. His MAJESTY's affability and condescension have made a lasting im pression on every heart. It was therefore with pecu liar delight we noticed the excellent health and spirits which he appears to enjoy, notwithstanding all the fatigues he has recently undergone. His MAJESTY took coffee with Lady CURTIS at twelve o'clock on Monday night, and did not retire to rest until nearly three o'clock, his Pages not having arrived until two o'clock. He was, notwithstanding, up in good time next morning, and on board his yacht at eleven, after having received the Deputation at the Pier house with the Address of the inhabitants and vi sitors of this town. I have conversed with several Gentlemen who have returned to this place from Ca lais, to which they accompanied his MAJESTY. The landing of his MAJESTY at Calais was not accom plished without a little risk, owing, to some awk ward mismanagement of a French sailing-boat, which had the honour of receiving his MAJESTY from the Royal Sovereign, improperly coming close to the bow of the yacht, where the boat's mast got entangled for a moment. At this period the Ktoo's cap fell into the water, and he lost it. His MAJritsTv, however, got safe on shore, and in high spirits. He seemed much entertained with the difference of the manner and appearance of the French from that of the people whom he had so recently left at Ramsgate. The dinner had been provided at Dessin's Hotel by the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Marquis of LON DONDERRY, who had previously arrived. The corn• pany who sat down to the Royal repast, amounted to fourteen persons, French and English. Mr. CURTIS, who accompanied his MAJESTY from Ramsgate, had the honour of being one of the party. The same party afterwards visited the Theatre, where the Krso remained three hours, during which he was rap turously cheered, and seemed highly delighted. He retired shortly after to rest, and left Calais at half past one o'clock on Wednesday, for Lille, where he proposed to sleep that night, and proceed next morn ing ('Thursday) for Brussels. The Colonel of the French Guard of Honour was one of the company who had the honour of dining at the Royal table.— The other Officers and privates of the guard received a carte blanche from his MAJESTY, to order whatever refreshments they pleased, and at his departure he ordered a donation of five frarics to be presented to each private of the guard. DIVER, SEPTEMBER 28. The squadron which attended his MAJESTY to the Continent, passed by about seven o'clock this morn ing, from the Downs for Portsmouth. Sailed the King George Post-office packet, with a Mail, and the Sybil passage vessel, both for Calais. Arrived the Rob Roy steam-packet, Antigone French packet, and Cumberland passage vessel, from Calais; and the Georgiana, from Boulogne. The Hero steam-packet has, we understand, been got off without having sus tained any material damage. Considerable alterations have already commenced at St. James's and Carlton Palaces, upon a plan for some time under consideration. The fine suit of rooms in the former are under repair, and the apart ments in that Palace hitherto occupied by Ladies of the late Queen CHARLorris establishment, are to be fitted up for reception rooms, and other places of ac commodation on public days, as it is his MAJESTY'S intention there to hold his. Court. Of these Ladies, two, viz, Miss Bain:mail. and Miss VERNON, have resided there upwards of fifty years, and one, Miss COL .star, thirty years. They have received notice to quit in two months, and we do not learn that other apartments have been provided for them. Of Carlton Palace the foundation has been considered for some time defective, in consequence of having been laid on a soft and sandy soil, and, upon a recent survey, the roof has been also pronounced unsafe. Some means Will therefore be adopted to strengthen and secure the former; a new roof will be substituted for the pre.ent one, and the edifice, it is said, will be raised another story. This last improvement is become ne cessary in consequence of the elevated buildings in front, in Regent-street, which give the Palace a de pressed appearance. These alterations being upon an extensive scale, and requiting considerable time for their completion, the KIND on his return will make Buckingham Palace, in St. James's Park, his. town residence. It is now in a perfect state for his recep tion. From the convenience, beauty, and capabilities of the Palace, it is not improbable that his MAJESTY may become so attached to it as to make it his per manent abode when in London. In this event Carlton Palace would be probably assigned for the accommo dation of some of the branches of the Royal Family. The Puke and Duchess of RUTLAND and family, left Belvoir Castle on Monday last, for their seat, Cheveley Park. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. lln erecting the scaffold fo r the c le a ning of the interior of St. Paul's, this morning, at six o'clock, eight of the workmen had incautiously assembled on one ledger, or horizontal support of the flooring, for the purpose of drawing up a scaffolding pole:— the accumulated weight occasioned the ledger to break ; five men saved themselves by hanging on the scaffolding until assistance was given them ; 1 three others were precipitated a height of about 40 l feet ; one was killed on the spot, another is not likely to recover, having broken his arm and thigh ; the third is little injured, and will probably recover in a few days. They were conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and every attention and assistance has been afforded by the Officers of the Cathedral. One of the sufferers has left a wife, but no children. BANK OF ENGLAND. A great reduction is about to take place almost immediately in the establishment of the Bank of England. The number of Clerks to be discharged is stated at 125, of which 40 are from the Hall side or Cashier's office, and the remainder from the various Accountant-offices for the different classifications of stock, with the one and two pound Bank-note office. In the latter, which employed between 200 and 300 clerks, the return to payments in specie must have led to the expectation of a very material reduction ; but the number discharged under the present arrange ment is only twenty-four. It was not at all known before Tuesday last, we believe, that the change was contemplated by the Governors of the Bank, and the' measure, therefore, being one that involves the wel fare or subsistence of so many families, appears a little abrupt. But in the mode of carrying it into effect, the Bank have acted with a degree of liberality which merits praise. All the clerks now dismissed will receive an annuity for life, in propor tion to the amount of pay and length f service, a selection being made, as far as the interests of the concern render it prudent to do so, from those who are the soonest likely from long services to claim the right of superannuation. But every clerk discharged will, we understand, be allowed the option, if he pre fers it, of receiving a sum of money equivalent to the value of his annuity. Thus, to those who are still young and have a talent for business, an opportunity will be afforded, by a supply of capital, of engaging in trade, and of working out their own independence. The number of clerks employed at the Bank is above 1000; the number discharged, therefore, is about one-eighth part of the whole. By the measure a saving . will accrue to the Bank, when the respective annuities fall in, of about £20,000 per annum. We understand that the cause assigned by the Directors for this step, in the notice to those clerks whose ser vices are to cease, is a general falling off in the busi ness of the establishment. SWEARING IN OF THE NEW SHERIFFS. Yesterday being the day appointed for this cere mony, a large crowd had assembled in the Hall for the purpose of witnessing it. At a little before one o'clock, the LORD Maros arrived in state, and held a Court of Aldermen. At a quarter past one, the Sheriffs elect, Aldermen GARRATT and VENABLES, arrived in new and splendid Carriages. The carriage of Alderman GAKRATT was very elegant, without being gaudy : , The colours are green and gold, with the arms of the Goldsmiths' Company, to which he belongs, and the arms of his family, emblazoned on the pannels and on the hammercloth. The horses were decked out in green and orange ribbons. The servants wore splendid liveries of green and gold to correspond. The carriage of Alderman VENABLES was of a sky-blue colour, with hammercloth, &c. of silver, and the footmen in blue liveries and silver lace. This Sheriffs elect, accompanied by the LORD MAYOR, Sheriffs WAITHMAN and WILLIAMS, and the Court of Aldermen, entered the Hall, and ascended the platform. The several Aldermen were received with marks of favour or disapprobation, ac cording to the opinion entertained of them by the people assembled. The new Sheriffs were splendidly dressed in maroon coats, surmounted by their state robes'of scarlet, and looked extremely well. They were sworn with all appropriate solemnity by H. Woonesoara, Esq. The last ceremony was to in vest them with the gold insignia of Office, when some surprise was occasioned at the novel variation from the old costume of wearing gold chains with the plain link, instead of which the new Sheriffs were invested with gold ornaments, consisting each of three coils of gold rope, or cord chain, but attached to a superb ornament affixed to the breast of the waistcoat. Af ter the usual salutations had been made, the LORD MAYOR and Court of Aldermen retired. The new Sheriffs, after the usual salutations had been made them, proceeded to the Court of Common Pleas, to receive the custody of the persons in New gate and Whitecross-street. Mr. BROWN, the keeper of Newgate, in giving in the list of the prisoners in his custody, observed, that be bad examined the prison accounts, and that there never had been so small a number of prisoners trans ferred to the Sheriffs, on such an occasion, since the prison had been built. He took the opportunity of congratulating the Sheriffs on the circumstance. Mr. BROWN and Mr. MACK RAY then delivered up the keys to the Sheriffs, who transferred them to the new Sheriff‘ Mr. Sheriff VIWAIMEA, on receiving the key of Newgate, addressed Mr. Brown, and said—" Sir, al though youlsase an -appointment as the keeper of Newgate, yet, as his Majesty's Officers, the custody of that prison is entirely in us, and we appoint you the Governor for the time being." Some other formal business having been disposed of, the Sheriffs retired to dinner. Mr. SUDLOW, of Monument-yard, was appointed Under-Sheriff to Alderman GARRATT; and the late Uuder-Sheriff, Mr. Sutra, was re-appointed as Un der-Sheriff to Alderman Vamtat.aa. To-morrow being Sunday, the ceremony of pre senting the Sheriffs of London to the Barons of the Exchequer, is postponed till Monday. when they will embark on board the City barge, accompanied by the Goldsmiths' and Stationers state barges, and pro ceed to Westminster, where they will go through the usual ceremonies of counting nails, &c. The Com panies will be afterwards entertained at dinner at Goldsmiths Hall, by Alderman GARRATT. SPORTING FIFE RACES—((ver the Caper Course). rituasowv. serrassaa.2o. Hunters' Plate of 430.

At the close of Egham Races, on Thursday, those fond of otilises sports had a rich treat in two gallantly contested battles, whit& kept the amateurs till dark. The first was for a ,610 purse, between Joe Neat, the Kingston champion, and who had merited well the title, and Bony Cooper, the fightlz;g Gipsy. ,Bed ford seconded the Gipsy, and Peler Saunders picked up Nash. I. Nash made play, and drew the claret by a right-handed blow upon his adversary's ear, and he followed up his success and floored his antagonist. 2. A good fought round with mutual advantages. The Gipsy drew third from his adversary's month; but in return Nash involved his bead in chancery, and he kept it there till the end of the fight. S. The Gipsy broke from his adversary's right hand, and got his left lute action, and it partially told, but Nash was too strong and too active, and he threw his adversary. 4,5, and 6, were occupied in real lighting, In favour of Nasty who placed some heavy hits on the front of his adversary's nob, which completely exdbeguered him, and he floored the Gipsy by e g AIM% The Gerry fought his best, but Nash has many hidden snail fications as a boxer, and he won it cleverly at last. The second battle was fought between two as good little men (unknown in the prize ring) as ever peeled. First-rate &edam,- with unmuszled gait, was the order of the still. They were known as Gingerpolo and I Ilaclecks. and the latter won it. rw Gm! was not present. There was no gate or Bungay-deal box : it was all upon the spare. One of the Ranting Preachers, at Bolton-on-the- Moors, lately addressed his auditors in the following metaphorical language: ---e Ah ! I dare say you'd all pay to see a basing-match between Bastmat. and Jdastent—yet you don't like to pay for seeing a pitched battle between me and BeLwltult. Oh, my friends, many a hard knock, and many. cross-buttock have I given the black bruiser for your sakes do, pull off those gay ga4- meats of Maninsea ; strike the Devil a strait blow ' and Me piritualda ' ghts. At Min manfully—send him at once Cliesectory—and I be your bettle-haider. I ask nothing but the enemot, which I hope you'll net forget before you go!" Monday last, a baker undertook, for a wager of El, at a beam in Bermondsey-street, to eat 200 large oysters, and bread M 'on, in twenty minutes, which he accomplished in good within five minutes of the given time. Na seem mune CILICYIDAW !—Saturday evening last, a shoe issober named Murphy, who resides on the Coal Quay, Cork, went on boards boat about the size of that in which Chasse are O'Brien, of Barash, lately displayed so much naval skill. Murphy's boat was aho built by himself, and is rather smaller Om the Commodore's. The stern and gunwhsle, even with. out freight, are scarcely three inches above the water, and int naediately on the adventurous shoemaker going on board, there was a draught of more than six inches water in the hold. To me the pump was quite useless • but on signals of distress being Made in profusion, he was at l ast rescued from a watery grave, to the great gratification of a cumber of spectators, who wit nessed the dreaded shipwreck. Himself and his boat were taken oat of the water, and after thanking his deliverers he put his bendy work quietly on his shoulder, and walked off. Ittausers.—Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was taken in the Vestry Ball of St. John's, Horselydown, on view of the body of James Allingbam, a feeble old man, the cause of whose death we noticed in our Town Hall Police Report of yesterday: Mr. May, the landlord at the Three Tuns, where the affray took place • John 'Stamp, a labourer (whose testimonies we yes terday gave); and several other persons, were examined at con siderable length. They merely spoke to what passed in the tap-room between the parties, and the subsequent examination of the dead body of Allingham ; but bow the catastrophe was produced none of them could tell. Richard Waller stated, that he was a coachman in the employ of Messrs. Barnes and Co. stage-coach proprietors, Deptford, and plied on the Lower Road. On Wednesday night, about ten o clock, or a little after that hour, he was driving up Back street, and at the corner, near the door of. the Three Tuns pub. lic-bouse, beheld two men and a woman, the former apparently at high words • me of the men, who appeared younger than the other, suddenly placed both bands on his opponent's breast, and with all his force pushed bins from him. The man fell with considerable violence quite close to the wheels of his (witness's) coach, and would have been run over, had not he quickly pulled up his hones. This man he knew was the deceased ; but be fek great difficulty in swearing to the prisoner, as he only be held his features by the light of the lamp; be had since seen him, but he could not swear to his person. The deceased, after the fall, never spoke nor attempted to move , and he appeared to all quite dead. S ome people theu collected around, and wit. nos drove on, and saw no more of the transaction. In answer to some questions from the Jury, witness said that be did not think the push was an accidental ane • the prisoner shoved him with all his might, which no man wield have dons unintentionally. Mr. Bees, of Tooley-strett, surgeon, said, be was called oa Wednesday night to examine the deceased, whom he found lykg on the kitchen floor at Mr. May's, the sign of the Three Um •be was then quite dead. On examining the head he /mad & slight wound on the back of it, which bad merely broken do skin, but had not bled much; it could not, in his opinion, hove produced death, as there was no fracture nor any other =rnthat could warrant such a conclusion. He had rater.. opened the bead in company with Dr. Baldruw, end on the ventricles of the kiln found a considerable quantity of eztrava. sated blood, which would produce apoplexy. This extra--- he conceived was caused by the fall. Doctor 'lsidro's', of Bermondsepstn— dence of Mr. Bees. The Coroner summed up the evidence, making suitable com ments thereon, and the Jury, after a short deliberation. returned • media of Menselasskier against John Lambert.—Mr. Sursrux hiamodiately hosed his warrant for his detention. The wife of lambert, daughter of the deceased, is in a state of dhtraction. Monday he; an Inquest was taken at Standlake, by Mr. Cum, Coroner, on view of the body of John Wiggins, an infant three years of age, who, on the Saturday preceding, was found drowned in the river Wiedrush. It appeared in evidence that the child, with his mother, had been a tear days at his grandfather's, who resides at Standt.ke, near the river, and, it was supposed, bad strayed out sad fallen into it. Verdict -.Accidentally drowned. A Coroner's Inquest was taken, on the 20th instant, at Os maston, near Derby, on view of the body of a man found in the canal basin, near that place. On his person was found his die: charge from the 19th Regiment at Lancers, dated at Newbridge. hi Ireland, the loth im a m, by which it appears his name was Thomas Sheffield, a native of Dartford, in Kent, to which place it is supposed he was on kw way. Verdict—Found Drowned. confirmed the rd.
