itigor and the late Sheriffs were loudly cheered by the multi.., to As they passed. The windows of the ow es the line Vie Procession passed were crowded w ith oell-dressed persons. At the c oruer of Feet-market numberless depreda tions w o r e openly perpetrated by an immense gang Orlon:Lets, who plundered the pockets of many of - t h e ir onteras, the mots being so wedged together, fact,,,rofthe soi-disant Princess of CUMBERLAND , deal :y dressed, presenting herself at the window o f Eer apartments at the hosier's shop. TIIF. DINNER. The Procession reached Guildhall about half-past fooro'clock, and in the interval between that time and s ix o'clock, the distinguished guests who had been i nv ited arrived in succession. One of the first whose t ame was announced in the Hall, was his Royal 114.:;ness the Duke of YORK, and never were heard more cordial or unanimous greetings than those with ,hi c h he was saluted. He appeared in excellent aad spirit. Lord LONDONDERY, Lord SID NOUrn, and the CH A NCEI.LOR of the a ß ct' EcluEn, en tered la succession, and were all well received, 000 without any particular marks of attention.— Dake of WEl.u.iscrost arrived late, about a tlu • atter bef le six, and was ushered in by the air of the Conquering I lero. He looked well and cheerful. It was now s ix o'clock, and the Hall was already movijed; the hustil.g. tables in particular were filled a i r y company of the first respectability, the major part of whom s , ere Ladies. At a little after six, the table; being previously covered, a flourish of trum pets announced that the guests of the principal table wer e about to take their seats, and in a few seconds the procession round the Hall commenced. Imme diately after the LfsnD Mayon, the Duke of YORK appeared conducting Tie Lady Ma voness; whose amiable appearance and elegant manners attracted iiniver.al re,tard. The Duke of VZLLINOTON and a L 3 .1 lollon ed. Amon;; the guests at the upper table vele. in addition to those already mentioned, seven e x she Judges. and six foNign Ministers. The oup deed, when the company was all seated, Iva:, most striking: a noble room, brilliantly illu minated and tastefully decorated, elegant and well dressed women, and a large assemblage of men, who, Iv their imposing numbers and respectable appear age, filled the mind with ideas of the wealth and dignity of the great Metropolis. The dinner was sumptuous, and the wines and dessert various and , abundant. As sour: as Non Nobis was sung, the' Loin Mayon rose to give the first toast—r• The', King,"with four times four. The Acclamations with the toast was received were long, loud, and en ilicaastic. The health of the Duke of YORX was re ceived with enthusiastic greetings, nor did that of tl.e Dike of CLA BENCE miss its portion of applause. Tie Duke of Youx next rose, for the purpose of /Mega toast, in which he thought all would most heartily join him—he begged leave to properse the he rid. of the I ,ad y Mayoress—(Loved applause). The Loan MAYOR (the Lady Mayoress also rising, from her seat) said, he was desired to return thanks' for the honour that had just been bestowed. The Lady Mayoress felt strongly their kindness, and in renirm she begged of bins to state, that she trusted she should have the honour of seeing all her friends at the Mansion Howe : that would be increased hap- Ipiness to her—(A ',idolise). The Duke of \V ELLINOTON said, he begged leave to give a toast, in which he was sure they would all join him with the greatest satisfaction—the health of their Lord Mayor—(Cheers). The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said he vas most grateful for the honour just conferred on him, as well as for the confidence that had been re posed in him by his fellow-citizens in selecting him to be their Chief Magistrate. He assured them he would do all he possibly could to fulfil its arduous duties with advantage to those who had placed so important a power in his hands. The honour of the tiq and the benefit of the country would be the main objects of his exertions—(Loud cheers). The healths of the Ministers were given separately, and they all teturned thanks separately, and each in 4:lne brief sentence. D tF e after ftFe 61' When the licaltlis of the Sheriffs were given, Mr. alderman and Sheriff GARRAT returned thanks in a uort but impressive speech, in which he took occa tiaato call the attention of the company, and parti cularly of the illustrious visitor the Duke of York, to the manifest loyalty of the Citizens of London—a loyalty so clearly and so enthusiastically manifested to that day, as to put to shame and silence all those base calumniators who dared to impeach the charac ter cf the first City in the world. Mr. Sheriff VENABLES, in a neat and modest ad ire", expressed his acquiescence in the sentiments of to worthy colleague. (hi the health of the City Members being given, Alterman CURTIS rose to return thanks: he began by declaring, in warm and almost rapturous language, Lis satisfaction at the return of what he called " the good old times:" whatever might have been the case r the opinion on other occasions, no one could now say that the City of London was not loyal : it cheered his heart to see again among them one illustrious member of the Royal Family (the Duke of York), and it cheered his heart still more to see the recep tion which he had met with that day. He (Sir Wm. Curtis) had been in the sister kingdom ; and Oh! he visited to Gon that the disloyal in this country could Lave witnessed the reception which their Sovereign Lad there met with; how it would have made their bleed run with pleasure ! but the Citizens of London vented no such example: they were always loyal, vtd always would be so. Ile sometimes differed iu °Pon with his fellow-citizens, but sure he Was that ;hough they might sometimes wander a little ! —(4l "4 14 /i yet they score returned to their duty, and "'mall in their lief its loyal to the Kiug, and staunob friend s to the Constitution.. Mr. Alderman Bilious:3 and Mr.Wason then fol lowed in short speeches. The health of the Judges was given, and Lord Chief Justice DALLAS (in the absence of Lord Chief Jtstice Abbott) returned thanks for himself and his brethren, Mr. d.istice Bayley._ Mr. Justice Holroyd, JuAice k, Mr. J..stiee Burrough, Mr. Justice !", and Mr. Baron (i.iruow. Oa. the health of the Foreign Nlini,ters being given, the Chevalier Oats, die Spanish Minister, returned thanks ia a short and Well turned sentence. :the company thin broke up to joiu the Ladies, had pievioosly retired to the Ballroom. The b+ll wils opened by the Spanish Minister and as els gant young Lady, the daughter of the LORD MAYOR.' Quadrilles were then danced previous to the opening of the room to the company generally. The only drawback on the comfort of the evening arose from the local inconvenience, attributable solely to the small entry into the Ball-room. The company in their natural anxiety to join the Ladies, pushed for ward, and crowded each other, and thus blocked up the passage and rendered the way for a long time impassible. The general dance in the great Hall commenced about eleven, and continued to a late hour. Among the persons particularly distinguished by the applause of the company, was the late Lord Mayor, THORP, who sat on the right of the LORD MAYOR, between his Lordship and the Duke of WEL LINGTON, with the latter of whom he was in familiar conversation for the greater part of the evening. BELZONI, the celebrated traveller, was among the guests, and excited great interest, not less by his per sonal demeanour, than by his eminent reputation. DOCTORS' COMMONS, CONSISTORY COURT, NOVEMBER 9. Sir Cuatarroftten ROBINSON took his seat as Judge of this Court, in the room of the Right Hon. Lord Srowau., resigned. DAVIDSON OTIIERWISE BOORDEN, FALSELY CALLED CARLIS, AND SINCE CALLED HARDEN, AGAINST HENRY CARLIS, ESQ. HER REPUTED HUSBAND. This was a suit of nullity of marriage by reason of illegitimacy and minority, and promoted by the wife against her husband, after an union of twenty-three years duration. Dr. JENNER opened the proceedings. The marriage in this case was celebrated on the 7th of December, 1798, in the Parish Church of St. George, Hanover square, by virtue of a license obtained for that pur pose, at the Office of the Consistorial Court of the Lord Bishop of London. In the affidavit which was sworn to, for the purpose of leading that license, the Lady was described as being a minor of the age of nineteen years and upwards, but under the age of twenty-one; and such marriage was declared to be about to be solemnized by and with the consent of Margaret Augusta Boorden, widow, the natural and lawful mother of the said minor: and she also signed the certificate at the Church, as an attesting witness. Now his case would be to prove, that Margaret A. Boorden, alias Davidson, was not a widow, and not the lawful mother of the said minor, and that the minor had no guardian appointed by the Court of Chancery; consequently the marriage must be in valid, as having been solemnized contrary to the provisions of the Marriage Act. The Learned Coun sel then read the depositions of a variety of witnesses, from which it appeared that the motter, Mrs. Da vidson, falsely calling herself Boorden, and widow, had lived in the service of a Major Boorden, for some years, in the Parish of East Bletchington, in the ' County of Sussex ; that by this Gentleman she had I had a natural daughter, who was born on the Bth of August, 1779, and baptized on the 12th of March, 1786, as the natural child of M. A. Davidson, spin ster. These facts were further corroborated by cer tain exhibits, containing the certificate of marriage, registry of baptism, Etc. Major Boorden, by his will, dated 178'2, provided (in the way of testamentary disposition) for Davidson, whom he therein described to be a spinster, and by whom, as such, the will was proved in the Prerogative Court at Canterbury, on the sth of September, 1796. The remaining evi dence consisted of the nurse, selected for the task of rearing the child, and a few of the inhabitants of the same village wherein these transactions took place, who severally deposed to a variety of particulars, no otherwise important than as they had served to im press upon their minds the date of the minor's birth, and of the acknowledgments repeatedly made by the Major that she was his natural daughter. Dr. Jen ner contended, that here was sufficient proof of mi nority, illegitimacy, and non-consent of lawful guar dian, so as to establish the requisite facts that such marriage was contrary to the Act of Parliament, and therefore prayed a declaratory sentence of the Court that such marriage according to law was null and void. Drs. SWABEY and PHILLIMORE took objections to a declaratory sentence being passed, on the ground that the mother was present consenting to the mar riage, and which she believed to have been solem nized under every legal requisite. It was further contended, that the identity of the party promoting the suit was not sufficiently proved. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON was of opinion, that the facts were sufficiently established in evidence to call for a declaratory sentence of the Court; which was, that the marriage in question being without consent of lawful guardian, and with an illegitimate minor, was, by the provisions of the Act of Parlia ment, of no validity, and therefore the Court pro nouneed the said marriage null and void. _ SINGULAR AptnacArtos.—Yesterday two Lames, of matronly appearance, presented themselves before the presiding Magistrate at the Town-Hall, South wark, and requested his advice in a case of rather an extraordinary nature. The eldest of the Ladies stated that, for some months past, she . had been subjected 'to the intrusions of a Gentleman, who was, she had every reason to believe, insane, and from whose vio lence she had to dread the most serious consequences I This individual had conceived an attachment for her, " and was for everlasting" obtruding himself upon her notice, although she had decidedly forbidden his visits to her house. However, notwithstanding her request, he came almost every evening; and on one or two occasions had fired loaded pistols at her; he had at all tunes shewn pistols when be found his ac quaintance was not acknowledged; but, until the present week, had never been guilty of such violence, although he had frequently threatened it. Magistrate—And pray, Madam, do you know sts . skitts of this Gentleman, that so annoys you without any apparent cause? Applicant—Why, Sir, I know he is insane. I recollect him fourteen years ago, and am confident of his madness. Magistrate—Recollect him fourteen years ago Pray, what might be your knowledge of him? There must surely be some cause for all this , beyond a common acquaintance of so many ' years; during which., one would think, you would cultivatemore kindly feelings. Lady—Toe truth is, Sir. I heed with this person; we parted by mutual consent; but still he will not leave me alone; and I know that the first time we come in contact, that moment will be my last; for he Ku not only threatened to shoot me, the first oeezaiva that oilered, but he has cocked his pistol at my servant, asi threatened to shout her. The other Lady readily confirmed the whole•of this strange story, and the worthy Alderman was about to issue his warrant, when an elderly person, of very gentlemanly exterior, stepped forward, and voTunta.' rily offered to give the whole history of the affair.— He observed that, fourteen years ago, the present ap plicant was married to a man of someexpectations; but, in consequence of an unpleasant disagreement, they parted, with an understanding that, in future, they were not to trouble each other. After this their fortunes experienced a complete reverse, the man losing all his property by one means or other, and the Lady coming into the possession of a considerable fortune. Since that period nothing had been heard of the husband until within a few months back, when he suddenly made application for his wife; but in the interval she had got united to another, and, very na turally, denied him ; which coming to his knowledge, and ascertaining the cause of the slight, he provided himself with are -arms, and would, no doubt, muider her, if an opportunity presented itself. Alderman Smint.—And so, Madam, we have at last got into the real hi s tory of the transaction. T he person you complain against, then, is your own husband, and the cause of your quar relling is because you have.very improperly,married another man. Applicant.—Yes, Sir ; but for seven long years I never beard of him, and I understand that, after that period, by law, I am free to wed whom I amuse. Magistrate.—lndeed ! I never beard of such a law ; and you may think yourself fortunate if he does pot indict you for bigamy. I can easily see through the merits of this case. You have property which your husband thinks he has a claim to, and which you, having another husband, will not allow. At present there is nothing before me that can induce me to grant a warrant. A long and desultoty conversation followed, the Ladies still pressing for a warrant, but the Magistrate refused to grant one. A decision was made yesterday by the Commis sioners of Hackney Coaches, of some importance to the Public, namely, that the present state of the pave ment in Regent-street justifies a coachman in devia ting from that line in his passage from Piccadiily to Oxford-street, and charging his fare accordingly. Mr. COKE is entertaining a numerous party of Gen tlemen at Holkham. The sports of the field are car. ried on with almost uninterrupted perseverance; the quantity of game bagged almost exceeds belief. The houses of several of the Km's tradespeople, and those of many private individuals, were again illuminated last night, in honour of his MAJESTY'S return to the capital of his empire. Thursday evening the Royal Society held its first Meeting for the season. The attendance was very numerous. The President, Sir HUMPHRY DAVY, took the Chair about half-past eight o'clock. A Paper, by Sir EVERARD HOME, upon the Structure of the Eye, was read to the Society. THOMAS Moat:, Esq. has left London for Paris. As it has long been deemed treason to SHARSPEARE to allow his Play of the Two Gentlemen of Verona, to remain on the Prompter's shelf, we are glad to hear it will shortly be brought forward at Covent-Garden, and, like his Comedy of Errors, decorated with more of his " native wood notes wild." BISHOP composes the music; JONES plays Valentine ; LISTON, Latina'; FARREN, Sir Mato; Miss HALLANDE, Silvia; and Miss M. TREE, Julia. BISH sold them all !" This is the wind-up of all Pima's Advertisements. When alluding to the Three Thiity Thousands of a former Lottery, it was " BISH sold them all !" and mentioning the Capitals, above £2OO drawn last Tuesday week, it was " BISH sold them all !" In fact, as Brulgruddery says in the Play, " This man has got the philosopher's stone," for he has sold the only 1:30,000 drawn this Lottery, and the odds are more than even (as sportsmen would say) that he'll bag the other two. • Yesterday, a boat, containing four young women and three youths, got foul of the City-barge, while coming through Westminster-bridge, and in a mo ment sunk. The most promprasststance was given, and the whole party was fortunately picked up, with out having received any material injury. SHREWSBURY, Nov. 7.—The shop of Mr. Austin, of Shiffnal, having lately been several times robbed, on Wednesday night last Mr. G. Austin and two friends, Mr. Dunbar and Mr. Edmonds, kept watch on the premises, and about one o'clock in the morning of Thursday a person in a smock-frock came, and com menced opening the shop-door. Mr. Dunbar instantly seized him, but the robber succeeded in getting off.— He was, however, instantly followed, but gaining ground of his pursuers, Mr. Dunbar called out to him to stop; this being disregarded, Mr. Dunbar fired a pistol at him, the ball fim which entered his back, and passed direct to his heart, notwithstanding which the unhappy man ran with great speed for some yards—he then dropped down dead. He proved to be a young man, of idle habits, named Pooler.— Coroner's verdict—Justiftable Homicide. Yesterday an Inquest was taken at Culham, Oxfordshire, by Mr. Cu., ISC Coroner, on view of the body of James Go odry, aged 40. It appeared that the deceased had been in the Oxford fordshire Militia nineteen years, and was discharged about a fortnight since; that he had gone to Culhatu, and during the time he was there he was in the habit of sleeping in any out building he could get access to; that the deceased had a bad cough upon him, and bad been In an ill state of health for the last nine months; that the deceased was found, about half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, laying in the road, in the village of Culham, vomiting blood, and, upon being lifted from off the ground, died immediately. Verdict —Did by the Visitation qf God. Yesterday, James Palmer and Thomas Wilson were brought up to Marlborough-street Office, under the following circumstances :—Plank, the officer, stated that he was sent for to the house of Mr . in Bloomsbury-square. On going there, the servant in care of the house informed him that her master and family were out of town, and that Wilson, who had been formerly a servant in her master's employment, was permitted to sleep in the house: a few evenings ago be brought the prisoner 'Palmer into the house, and instead of taking him into the kitchen, he intrc duced him into the butler's pantry, where they re mained a considerable time. Hearing them still there when she was going to bed, she opened the door, and found that the wine-cellar door, which led out of the pantry, and which her master before he left town had strewed up and sealed the lock, had had the screw drawn and the seal broken, but the door had no ap pearance of being opened. The plate-chest was also kept in the wine-cellar. The men went away that night, but Plank was in waiting the next day at the house, and when the prisoner Wilson returned, he ran from him towards the water-closet, and flung in there fifteen skeleton keys in a bunch. Mr. Ker was written to upon the matter. Plank said that the woman told him, her master on a former occasion had lost up wards of forty dozens of wine in an unknown manner, and empty bottles were substituted for the full ones removed. The men were remanded for a week, until Mr. Ker's answer arrives. SPORTING IN7 ELLrGriVell PRESENT STATIC OF JUR BETTING ON TEIg TOREE GREAT ItA(7ES. ns:atir (FIFTY-TONE!

Tuesday, the 30th alt. the Harriers of DA VLD Tuowas, Esq. of Wellfield-house, near Duiith, hunted a hare for a considerable time. Puss being hardly pressed, dashed Into a pool called Hell.. hole, in the river Wye. On the opposite side stood a Gentlamp angling without success. The huntsman's halloo roused jlilll, and seeing the hare, be patiently awaited ber landing, but in attempt. Mg to catch her he missed his aim, and the animal, alarmed, be. gars to swim back towards the dogs, which were grasping at her lin the pool, when the angler skilfully threw his line, hooked poor puss In one of her legs, and rescued her from a watery grave, for another day's sport, TWO HUNDRED MILES MATCH IN THREE DAYS. The Gentleman Pedestrian, who carted to do this Match on Wednesday morning, performed 70 miles on the first day, and, after refreshing himself with sleep four hours, he started again at four o'clock on Thursday morning. At two o'clock, eau he bad nearly reached Rosnsey, in Hampshire, having done 44 miles. His route woukl be through Baltsbury to Devizes, ja Wiltshire, and from thence through Newbury and Reading, foe London. His ground to finish is six miles from Longford, Middlesex. It is a match on which great stakis am pending, and betting has become even. BOXER&-GASLIGHT AND NEAT& The Sporting World is on the alert respecting the above great pugilistic match, which is to decide the Championship. The time is drawing nigh t Tuesday, the 11th of December, and both of the combatants are in active traiing. The Gas is very fine already, and as confident of success m If the batik was over; indeed the knowing MS, the eakolatota, the judges, and almost all the amateurs. from one end of the fang to the other, pro. nounce Neate not to have a chance. T h ey laugh at the idea of a roarer, a fighter as slow as a top, and 4 boxer who does not like to shew himself in the London prize-ring, as a hero that can put out the Gas. Asa proof of backing this opinion, a pfe mine% of three guineas is only required to obtain You to 100 gui neas. use bets are extremely numerous as to lime, from 13, 20, 25, and 30 minutes; and all agree that it will be over In farrier of Gas before the latter period named. Neate, it is said, is nevertheless the favourite among his countrymen at Bristol, five and six to four. "It may be so," observed a first role soca the other day, at Tattenalrs, • but if they bet at all, It is pots of heavy wet." Be this as it may, whether Neate has any chance or not, the above battle excites considerable interest among the sporting people. and lots a blunt have already been posted upon the event, which will be decided, at least ditty miles from the Metropolis. Hickman still keep* in the old tone, that the Gas shawl go one JOBll. HUDSON AND THE SUFFOLK CHAMPION. The second contest, in the otiolon of numerous persons con nected with the milling corps, will'be much better than the first or great battle. Josh. Hudson (the Arlen Bull fightes) is so well known to the aniauntrs for his possession of ail the requisites which constitute a good maq, that farther comments would be out of place; and the St ilk Chontliote (Garret), his opponent, from the specimens of manhood and out-and-out game he dis played in his battle with Juhnson, the Black (with eitraordinaty long arms), stands upon as high ground as his adversary. 'ki ting upon this match, at present, is even, e a ch person a t ta i n one of the heroes according to his fancy. It will be a fine piece of kirritsony for the Waters of either of them when the word No is pronounced. I H
