DLO% hoped that he should be able to catch of the Lord Mayor at an early hour, as be :Aaiun to propose to the Court on the subject late I nclAncholy event. T . DAVIS said, that he also had a proposition to 06 precisely the :tree subject, which he should , delay begin :u explain. M r .

Gtntleman obtained a hearing. Mr. DIION said, he never ruse to address the Court "i 5 wind t.o borne down as at that moment. they last met, they were indulging the fond• tinn that they should soon have had the op , of congratulating the Throne on an event ,fed to delight the Sovereign and the people. had now the melancholy task of considering in manner they could respectfully testify their He dii not think an Address of Condolence • a proper mode, as it would be calculated tass the feelings of the illustrious and afflicted ridual who would have to receive it in person. iould therefore move, that it ' be referred to a Committee to consider in what manner the can best evince its feelings on the late most event— the Death of her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Augusta. Daughter of his 'al Highness the Prince Regent, and Consort of highness Prince Leopold of Cobourg, • 'AVIS said, that under the peculiar circuits the present case, he felt a necessity of op. ;be motion, because he thought it would Is& - feeling of the Court immediately to adopt, which had been previously prepared. A unnecessary hesitation on a subject, on were all prepared to express the spoota. ;s of the heart, would be indecorous. It ground, and not from any vain idea of to add any thing new on a subject which called forth so many effusions of sorrow, that be to offer an Amendment. As that Court iys ready, without hesitation, to express its political, commercial, and local questions, tonteive how, on a subject of this kind, moment be at a loss to determine. It attempt to describe the vines: of their regret ; every one knew and ap. This event was one tf those inseru dispensations of that Peovroesa to which it submit our wills. But lately ere a pleasing prospect of further pledges rei Ot our liberties, in the estension of that Family. under whose auspices they established. They were now bereft of that had but the anelaocholy duty left to of it. He concluded by moving as a Resolution of some length, stating the Court of the public loss, with the said Resolution be printed, and ansmitted to the Prince Regent, to the Prince Leopold, by the Lord Mayor. shortly seconded the Amendment, his feelings at the loss of a Princess so . only from her virtues, but from her at the first principles of the British Con- Alderman Thacw thought the subject of such the Court required some deliberation, with propriety ewpresi its feelings on event which had defeated the hopes of subjects, and by which, as at one blow, two reigns bad been swept away. Mucti as he ad . the tone of the Resolution which bad been be was not prepared at one view to give • assent to a proposition of such magnitude. of all Addresses on minor; topics, the took them into consideration paragraph by pa ), he did not think a less careful perusal would - no the present occasion. tr. AlttlitAN said, he did not recollect a time be had addressed the Court with so much die - - -- , log the event itself there was but one , thought that opinion would be better by a short Resolution than through an . if no other course were open to them—ft had to " , their election between the Reeolu- 1 _ and the original motion, be should pre- Ater. He dij not, however, conceive they in that situation. l'he Resolution which had proposed in the shape of an amendment was more than a lengthy Address, and the cif.- which would attend it, viz. its being and transmitted to the Royal Family, would its consequences compromise the havaluablu ptivi the Court possessed of approaching the foot of with its Petitions or Addresses. It was __ to contemplate the youth, the station of object of their sorrow, her domestic character— fondness for retirement, though educated in a - filial and conjugal love, het attachmenti ,of our venerable toustituti6b, whiffle the security of the Throne as well as the hap( the people, to contemplate all those.quali., which rendered her a pattern of private as well lic virtues, without feeling it difficult to do to their feelings. It was a subject by which who bad talents for moving large assemblies, carry away the feelings of their hearers, but was in the magnitude of the. loss something rich froze up all powers of utterance. As great • bad expressed Sore tune's a lethargy in mighty woe Teen stood ccosissid and cannot Sow , " And the sad sod rostra Into bee *most teem r were some painful circumstances which anew 'ded chic event. on Which it was impossible not to re , fleet. This amiable Princess in her last moments was deprived of that consolation which we all anti cipated in our last moments, as wine mitigation of the bitterness of that time. These were none of them who did not hope to have their , -yes closed in death by those who were dearest to thrrn. Yet, by some unhappy combination of circumstances, the Princess was deprived of this comfort. He believed the truth was, that no one of her relatives, as per haps no one else in the nation, had presented to their imagination the sad event. From whatever cause it happened it could nut but affect their minds : " For who to dumb forgetlulness'a prey This pleasing anxious being ere resign% Left tits warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nur east one longing, lingering kook behind. On some find brew! the parties serf relies, borne pious drops the closing eye requires, Ev'ti front the tomb the voice of nature eri..s. Ev'n in our ashes live tisek . weated Etc.!' He did not think that on an event on which they were all ready to express their feelings, they bad any need to wait the result of the appointment of a Com mittee f still less, for the reasons he had stnted.euold he agree to the long Resolution which had been pro posed as an Amendment. He had prepared a short Resolution -when the other motions were disposed of, to this efect—.. That while they appreciate the mo tives which have induced this Court to refrain from presenting Addresses of Condolence, they cannot help expressing their sense of the loss the nation has 'sustained, by the death of the Princess Charlotte \ Augusta ; being thus deprived of a striking example of filial and conjugal affection, and of attachment to those constitutional principles which it is equally the interest of both the Sovereign and the subject to maintain." Mr. DAVIS, in a few words, supported the Address. Mr. Jam said, a Committee, if appointed, might refer to precedents, to know how the Court had acted on similar occasions. The death of the Duke of Gloucester, son of Queen Anne, for instance. Mr. FAVSLL said, be should have agreed with the Resolution proposed by Mr. Davis, except as to the proposal to said copies of it to the high persons alluded to. _ _ _ Mr. Dexott said, of the two Resolutions he should prefer that of Mr. Waitbman, bat he still saw no objection to a Committee. After a short conversation between Mr. DAVIS, Mr. WAITHMAN, Mr. Java, and Mr. Alderman BIRCH, the Amendment was withdrawn, the origi. nal Motion was iminimously agreed to, with the ad dition, that the Committee be appointed forthwith. The Committee, famed of all the Aldermen pre sent, and a Councilusin from each Ward, was ap pointed, and withdrew. The Committee Weil* returned to the Council Chamber, Mr. Alderman Boom presented its Re port, fur a copy of . which see the Advertisement. The Report was agreed to unanimously, and ordered to be published in all the Morning and Evening Pa pers in Town. . THANKS TO THE LATE LORD MATOR. Mr. Deputy Via-Laws, after a warm eulogium upon the merits of Mr. Alderman Wood, in the dis charge of the duties of Lord Mayor, as well as in his Parliamentary conduct since his election as Re presentative--for the City, expressed his co veted.% that the Coert would cordially acquiesce is the Re solution which he should have the honour to propose in concurrence with his opinion. The Resolution (foi a copy of which see Adver tisement) being read by the Town Clerk and seconded, Mr. Dixon said, that. it was always his wish to render the fullest justice to the merits of any indivi dual, who held the high office of Lord Mayor of the City; but in order to secure an unanimous vote upon this occasion, he could not forbear from observing, that it Would be much better to omit the latter part of the Motion. He was as 'anxious as any man to gratify the honourable feelings of the late Lord Mayor, and be thought that gratification would be more complete, if*the vote •ot the Court should in this instance be unanimous. But as be, as well as others, could not consistently express any approba. tiub of that t.4entleman's Parliamentary conduct, he, recommended the omission of a passage which must create dissent. The worthy Alderman had, ao doubt, conducted himself most meritoriously as the Chief Magistrate of this great City. He had no objection to vote for any panegyric upon the worthy Alder man't hospitality, although be himself bad seen no thing of it ; but he must say, that it would twig been more becoming in the worthy Alderman; it' he had been contented with a show of hands in his fa vour, upon the proposition for his second election, without resorting to a poll, or undertaking to wive the office of Lord Mayor a second dote. - Tnis pro ceeding, however, he was willing to overtook, but he did not think that Court should be called upon to de clue any opinion upon that Gentleman's Parliamen tary conduct, which, in his judgment, should be lett to the consideration of the Livery. Upon these grounds be should feel himself bound to hold up his hand against the Motion, if the passage to which be objected, were not withdrawn. Mr. VALIANCE observed, that it was, no doubt. competent to any individual to prevent unanimity on this occasion, but be felt it right to submit his motion to the lodgment of the Court, and by that judgment he was willing to abide. The motion was put and agreed to by a very deci sive majority, Mr. Dixon- and three or four other Gentlemen only holding up their hands against it. The Resolutioo was ordered to be duly published, and alter some routine business, the Court adjourned. A modun was male for presenting the usual present of a ?arse of Fifty Guineas to the Chaplain to the late Lord Mayor, hut after some observations WOO/ MOM.

Sall, the phenomenon of the present day, and Porhh, the Waterman, who had fought himself high on the milling list. took place yesterday on Hayes Common, in Kent. Wollingham Common, about six miles on the other side of Croydon, was the place where the civolcade first assembled; Riddlesdown, about two miles from thence, being head-quarters. The Casr ouirsary had prepared a twenty-four feet roped square. An enemy, however, appeared, in the person of a Magistrate, who bad sworn in the inhabitants from house to house as constables, to defeat the fighting forces. He addressed the ring in the following terms: " I am sorry to spoil your sports, but it is my duty as a Magistrate not to allow a breach of the peace here."—An amateur assured him his mandate should be obeyed, and there would not be the slightest ob struction to his authority. The Magistrate added— " I am mounted on a poney, which will enable me to follow you to any part of this county."—Another lamateur observed We may assemble in Kent, without annoying you."— Magistrate... 4 I give no. consent: I sector the county of Surrey."—" That's enough." replied another; and the Comivary, seated on the bar of a post chaise, began to move off, fol. bled by the motley cava lcade, for Hayes Common, about six miles from thence. Helter-skelter was the order of the morning. A most ludicrous scene pre sented itself—my Lord's barauche and the cotter. monger's cart were upon a par, and the inmates of the one were seen jumbled together in the other, with out distinction. Arrived in the county of Kent, the ling was barnied, but much confusion ensued before the mien could be brought in. Randall first appeared. and threw his carter into the ring, andte was followed by his adversary, with the same token of disregard. The almonds were Paddington Jones and R. Weale, for Randall ; and Spring and Georg Head, for Pa rt*. The weights were—Randall, lOst. 61b. and Parish fully llst. Betting, seven to two on Randall. Reese t. After muck spantig and measurement, Randall planted a enact bk en his adversary's chest, and broke away. Me repeated the blew, and Parish returned upon him, but out et distatiev, and consequently very slight. Randall pl aced a se• mere rtbanded hit .apon th e eibeekliine. which upped the efiret, again brukelroutid to of fighting. Parish's blows Were parried, and the round closed with Randall hitting him nein in the body with the left band, followed quickly with the right in front of the bead, which floored him upon his face, as if shot. Thee fiat blood and first kuuck.down were decided.— Your to one on Randall. S. Parish bled corky,* from the head, but he was not anti. ensdated. He made play wish bulb hands, but the bits fell short, bum Randall having a knack of throwing his body back, and one inn reutrued oa Parish's body.

Parish returned short and Randall in made a terrible debt-headed hit which grazed the bead only. Parish, with much quickness, delivered a blow upon his adversary's eye which set it twinkling, but be was complimented by a flooring bit upon the nose. • 4. ?Mob made play, but be could not place his blows. and be Medved a heavy bit on the caucused nom.

COURT OF KING'S BENCII, NOVEMBER C 7. MR. WOOLER.—SPECIAI. JURIES. The Arrottraav-GaNzam. appeared at the Sitting lof the Court this morning, to *new Cause Against the Rule obtained last week by tdr.Wooler, foi sbewing cause why the list of persons named by his Majesty's Coroner and Attorney, to lorm the Jury on the ilia of the defendant, for a libel published in The Black Dwarf, should not be cancelled on the ground of such persons having been improperly, illegally and partially selected by the said Coroner and Attorney, and why the Sheriffs of the City of London should Dot again attend tha said Coroner and Attorney, with the book or list of. personsßualified to serve on Juries within the said.city, for the purpose of 48 persons being named, out of whom a Jury might be formed for the trial of the said Information. The Learned Attorney observed, that this rule having been ob tained upon the affidavits of the Defendant, his sap• citor, and the Clerk of the latter, it had become ne. cessary on the part of the prosecution to cause affida vits to be made in answer to the circumstances there in stated; and it wonid be for the Court to say, whether they would'direct the affidavits on both sides to be read by the Officer of the Court, or whether he should himself bring under the notice of their Lord ships the material circumstances on both sides, offer ing such arguments as he went along. as should ap pear to bin sufficient to discharge the rule which hail been granted. Lord ELLEI4IIOIIOUOII, after conferring with his Brethren, said, it might be more convenient if all the affidavits. were read seriatim by the Officer, before the Attorney.Getieral catered arguments upon their • effect.—Accordingly, Mr. Descrier., jun. assistant to his father in the Office ot Clerk ot the Rules of the Crown Side of the Court, proceeded to read the affidavits of. Mr. Woofer, Mr. Pearson, and Mr. Nixon, the clerk of the Latter,. in. support of the motion ; but as we stated the substance and effect of these doc.:ments io nor Report of the original motion in last SaturdaVs STAR, it is unnecessaty now to repeat their contents, as they were referred to in the affidavits now oiftttd on the part of the Crown. The Officer then proceed ed to read the Crown affidavits. The first was the affidavit of Edmund Henry Ls shington, Esq. the King's Coroner and Attorney, and Master ot the Crown Office, which stated, that the deponent had attended at the Crown Office' on the pith of'June last, fur the purpose at nominating 48 persons to form the pannel, from which a Special Jury should be chosen to try the iidormatiost :ilea by the Attorney-General against the defendant, Thomas Jonathan Wooler...,Dn that occasion the Secondary of the Stiarire.Offame of the City of London appear. rod beforedaina, and produced a book containing the impel of.Pellans in the City of London qualified to on SphcialAnrieualnd from vahicn such Juries had always been selected, as deponent was informed and believed, in addition to his own practice in his said Odice of Coroner. That the person by whom such book was produced, also tendered certain lists, pur porting to be the lists of persons resident in the diffe rent %sands of the City of London, qualified to serve on Common , and Special Juries generally, in the said City, and that the said person tendered these lists 'and book to deponent for the purpose of nominating the Special Jury in question, as he should think ripft and proper for that purpose. The Dcrendant and his Atioruey being present un this occasion, some conversatioo arose re.ipecting the propriety of naming the Jury from the said book solely, when deponent suggested, that in order to avoid ad abjection, it would be better to reject the said book, and nominate the Jury exclusively lions the said lists ; and under standing that there was no opposition to this course, he proceeded to nominate the said Jury according to his accustomed practice since lie Lad been in t h e office. That soon atter deponent's appointment to the office of Master of the Crown Office, in July, 1815, he was informed that the usual mode adopted by his predecessors, of nominating forty eight per sons, as special Jurors, to serve on the trial of issues in Middlesex and the City of London, was to take the -names Of. Esquires or Merchants, as 'the case might be, front the book or books fur. noshed by the Sheriffs' fur the County or City te. spectively, ceistaiiiing the natnes tf such persons as were qualified to serve on such Juries. That this deponent since his appointment, had uni. larmly adhered to the same practice of nominating Esqtures or Merchants, according to the venue, in which the rase was appointed for trial. That de pouent's mode of fixing upon the names of persons to be nominated, was to place nis pail within each leaf of di.: book or lists submitted to him. and Ex upon the names of soon persotis es were qualified ether as Ntachant4 cr Esquires, as Lis pen I
