SHERIFFS' INAUGURATION DINNER. Yesteaday the new,,Sheriffs, G. B. WHITTAKER ) Esq. and P. LAURIE) Esq. proceeded by water to Westmin ster, to be presented to the Cursitor Baron of his Ma jesty's Court of ExChequer. The civic body went on board the Lord Mayors state barge, which was adorned w i t h nags and streamers, and supplied with an excel lent band of music. The Stationers state barge, full of company and a band of music, accompanied them. On landing at Westminster-stairs, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, a m proceeded to the Court of Exchequer, where the venerable Baron received them, and, in his Majesty's none , approved the choice of Sheriffs made by the citizens of London. The late Sheriffs were then sworn to 'their accounts; after which the cavalcade returned in ;le same state, and on landing repaired to Stationer? ' where preparations had been made fur THE INAUGURATION DINNER. This splendid entertainment was attended by a highly respectable assemblage ; among whom we noticed— The L or d Mayor, the Lord Mayor Elect, Lord F.rskine, the Right lion. George Canning, the Right. Han. W. Iluskisson, the li on . George Lamb, J. l'lanta, Egg. T. Wilson, Esq. Sir. C. flower, Bart. Sir T. Bell, Aldermen &holey, Wood - , Annesley, Th o rpe, Magnay, Brown, Venables, Garratt, Thompson, Lucas, an d K e y, the Recorder, and other Law Officers of the City, &c. The Hall, which is spacious and handsome, was decorated with great taste, and not less than 180 per scns sat down to the dinner, which consisted of all the delicacies of the season. At six o'clock the LORD MAYOR took the Chair. On his right sat the Lord Mayor elect (Mr. WAITHMAN), Lord EasKINE, the Hon. GEORGE LAME, M.P. and se veral other public characters : on hii left sat the R_ i g ht Hon. GEORGIC CANNING, M.P. Mr. MAMMON, M.P. J. PLANTA (the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs)„ and several of the Aldermen of the City of London.— The extremities of the principal table were occupied by the new Sheriffs. Amongst the company we observed several foreigners cif distinction ; Professor SCHLEGEL was of the number. As soon as the ciath was removed, Non Nobis Domine was sung in a solemn manner, by Messrs. Pirtle, Broad hurst, And Master Barnet. The usual toasts of the King, and the rest of the Royal family followed, and were received with the usual de monstrations of respect. The LORD Nlaxon then proposed the health of Lord EAine, whose name was connected with the history of t:cir country, and whose presence he had no doubt they would appreciate iu a suitable manner—(Applause). Lord ERSKINE, in returning thanks, briefly remarked that he had a pond recollection of his early connexion with the city of London, and should never fail to ap preciate the value of the services of his fellow-citizens upon every occasion in which their independent efforts' were called into action. The LORD Marcia next proposed the health of the Lord Mayor elect (Nfr.Witithrnan). In doing so he con gratulated the City upon the total absence of party feel ing which characterized the late election. It was a wel come presage of that sense of general propriety which established the necessity of merging all considerations purely personal or plitical, in the predominant neces sity of securing for the citizens of London an able and efficient Chief Magistrate—(Applause). He had a long knowledge of his lion. Friend (Mr.Waithman), and he was convinced that be would be found to discharge his duty as became the Chief Magistrate of the city of Lon don. He (Mr. Heygate) had had the advantage of fill ing it in peaceful times, and he had the satisfaction of bequeathing the same advantage of time to his successor. Mr. Waithman's health was drank with great applaule., Mr. WA 111111 A 24, in returning thanks said, that he at inowledged with great satisfaction the honour now done him, as well as the flattering manner in which the Court of Aldermen had conducted the election. He assured them of His determination to support, as far as he could support it,-the independence and integrity of the City of London, and to do so with the utmost impartiality -4 Applause). At the same time that he should ever be found, regardless of political differences, to sustain the impartial character of his magisterial office, he hoped that the good sense of Isis fellow-citizens would not suppose that, either on their part, or upon his own, he abandoned that right of free opinion which was an in herent right in every British subject, and which grew out of the essence of their Constitution. , —(Applause.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed the health of the Right Hon. George Canning, who bad honoured them with his presence at their festival—a Minister who was not only distinguished by possessing the approbation of his colleagues in office, but ilso of havingucquired the cor dial support of the great majority of the people of the country at large, That Right Hon. Gentleman had just returned ftotn a tour in the northern part of the country, in the course of which he (the Lord Mayor) was confident that he found at every step additional cause of satisfaction at the prosperity of the manufac turing interests, and the general growth of'the popula tion of the country. He saw, no doubt, an attestation, if any were wanted, of the truth, that in peace the com merce and manufactures of the country could flourish, and a complete refutation of the exploded notion, that war was necessary to invigorate the resources or inge nuity of the people—(Applause). It was quite clear, from every day's experience, that nothing was more condu:ive than peace to the prosperity of the manufac tures and commerce of the country. He hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would find the same spirit and prosperity in the City of London that he had in his northeratour, and with it the prevalence of 'those sen timents of loyalty and affection, without which, they 'could fail to preserve that just rank and station in the eyes of the world, which had made them so justly pre eminent—(Loud applause). He concluded by proposing st Nr. Canning's health," which was drank with three liMeg threes Mr, CANNING, in returning thanks, said it was im possible for him adequately tO express his thanks to the company for the testimony which on the present occa sion they had borne to his public conduct—a testimony which, from the rank and respectability of those who slid him the honour to confer it, might be deemed as not .unreasonably embodying the sentiments of that great and integral portion of his Majesty's subjects, the Citizens of London—(Applause). He bad, in the dis c'iarge of his poblic duty, the high gratification of baring .the approbation of his Sovereign ; to this was added the sustaining suppot t of the Parliament ; but great as were these testimonials of supperi, they were i t:ornplete and ineffectual, without that other acknow.- - Ittigment which he was proud to receive—the co-ope ra:mii and approbation of his fellow-citizens at large -4 Laud applause.) The Lord Mayor had truly said, that, d fficult as had been the period at which he (Mr. Can ning) had been called to till office, he bad nevertheless the satidication to find the City of London pursuing a sliate of great and glorious pi osperity. He had the very great satisfaction 'to 'know, not only that such prosperity prevailed, but that it was founded upon sound and per manent principles of commercial economy—that from the very nature of its organization and action, it was not liable to the vicissitudes which had previously swayed it, and was better calculated to acquire a steady) and permanent value. He also agreed with the Lord, Mayor elect (Mr, Waithman) in the full admission that every man in the community, whatever 'might be his situation or office, had a full right to the honest expres sion of his sentiments, in such manner as becomes an honest and independent man—(Ckeers). The Constitution of England rested on the balance of power between the several bodies of the State. These could only be main tained by giving a fair scope to the conflicting opinions of the count y; and they, like all public me n h ones tly contending for the public interests, must be sensible that however present feelings might prompt them to extreme struggles, their only object—what they meant to accom plish —was the public good, according to their respec tive sense of its best interests. The real ground of dis putation was not the maintenance of the Constitution— upon that they were all agreed; but the means of sup porting 'it, and with it the dignity and independence of the country. (s. aw.nost all other countries but Great Britain, natiuns were of late times found at war upon extreme principles. This country had abstained from participating in those inflammations, from a fear of immediately aggravating them by a useless and an unnecessary intermixture with their passions and their wants. They had taken what he trusted would eventu ally prove the wiser course---they bad by their wiser po licy shewn, that however heretofore it might have been deemed that war and commercial prosperity went hand in hand, it remained for them to exhibit to the world the admiring spectacle of commerce growing with gene ral peace, and by the more natural and calmer operations of universal friendship and confidence—(Applause) He cordially trusted that such a state of things would be found progressively advancing, and that the time of the new Mayoralty would, like the past, pass away in one uninterrupted struggle to promote and perpetuate such blessings, and to evince at its close the same grati fying result. He cordially hoped that the succeeding Lord Mayor would enjoy the good fortune, and imitate the example of his predecessor, and like him, have to 'conclude the period of his civic service as Chief Magis trate with the same gratifying recital—(Applause). He could not conclude without testifying the respect he bore to the City of London, by proposing the health of its present Chief Magisti ate, and prosperity to the City. The LORD NATOR expressed the high sense he enter tained of this distinguished compliment, and begged to propose the health of another distinguished guest, who was a member of his Majesty's Government—he meant 'the Right Honourable Mr. Huskisson, the President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Huskisson's health was drank with loud applause. Mr. Husxtssoo, in returning thanks for this distin guished mark of civic attention, which, he begged to assure them, he did with a deep sense of its value, de clared, that as President of the Board of Trade, to which office he had been lately promoted, he felt peculiarly such a mark of confidence and respect ; for he received it as the compliment of that portion of a large mercantile community, which might be fairly said to represent the great and comprehensive interests of the commerce of the country at large—(Applause). He feat, that his only claim for such a compliment, and his only chance of continuing to deserve it, arose, and must depend upon his devoting his best eff orts to make the general trade of the country as prosperous as its great resources enti tled it to be made; knowing that at every step the City of London must derive a great sit* of such prosperity (Applause). They had of late years to arrange a state of .business which grew out of the somewhat novel situ ation of a state of peace. During the war they had made great commercial efforts, and had seen them often affected by the powerful arrangements of a tyrant, who directed all his energies against the commerce, the iscle pendence, and the rights of this country; but the spirit and enterprise of the British merchant rose su perior to all these attacks; he held his ground, and was now deriving the benefit of his perseverance. — During the late calamitous war, it became necessary for the Government to interpose a variety of commercial °mations, which were only suited to the exigency of the times. On the restoration of peace, they paved'the way for a commercial system better adapted for the situation of the country; andlong, he trusted, would that career of peace enable them to cultivate and pursue a pacific system—{Applause)—such a system as would give to trade the freest scope, and the most ample security. To promote and cultivate such measures would be his in ' oessant duty, because he was convinced that upon their realization depended the commercial prosperity of the eountry—(Great applause). The LORD MAYOR. next, in a complimentary speech, proposed the health of the Sheriffs, to whose hospitality, they were indebted for the entertainment they had en joyed—ltoad cheering).—The toast was welcomed with very great applause. Mr. Sheriff WUITTALER, in returning thanks, said, it could not but be truly gratifying to an individual to have his name received with such marked approbation as his had been that evening, by the respectable persons who then surrounded him, and he. begged to assure them that he cordially felt the honour they had con ferred upon him. There were, he knew, many Gentle men present, who had filled the high and important office which his colleague and himself were just entering upon with credit to themselves and advantage to that great City. Their example should be his constant guide, and should he successfully follow it, he was sure the same reward would be given to him when he retired from the office, unworthily, he feared, bestowed on him —a reward which, of all others, he set the greatest value on—the esteem and approbation of his fellow-citizens — (Cheers). He thanked them for their company at this entertainment. To the Right Hon. Gentlemen present his thanks were peculiarly due, and he should ever re flect with pride, that his inauguration had been graced by the presence of two such eminent men,alike capacious talents, and for their distin g uished considera tion in the State —(C'h eats). for their Mr. Sheriff LAURIE returned thanks in a s p eech of some length, in which he detailed his reasons for form ing a voluntary connection with t he C it y of London. Both Sheriffs were warmly applau ded. t until a late hour in the festive enj o y ment of S ev e r al other civic toasts were given , and t he com pany sa civic hospitality.

Moamxo Dana—High dress of mezerion green gros de Naples, made plain, and fastened behind ; ornamented on each side of the bust with a corded satin trimming of double points, through the centre of which a plaited stem is interwoven : it nearly meets at the waist, but extends as it advances to the shoulders. Long sleeve, nearly tight, edged with satin, and ornamented at the wrist with a triplet of satin triangles crossed by folding circlets in the centre: full epaulette, separated into bourents by satin ornaments : broad band, edged with satin, round the waist; and a rosette of corded leaves behind. Satin rouleau at the bottom of the skirt, and two rows of twisted satin cord - above, at equal distances: richly worked vandyhe muslin ruff, and narrow worked reifies. •Cap of white tulle, or Paris net, bound with pink "satin, having four borders of double crow line, either twined one within the other, or else laid on in waves of alternate pink and white; straight in front, and full at the sides : the crown has a white satin corded or nament, divided into five points; between the tipper part of each is a puffing of net, and a white satin star, whose radii are composed of small folds, spreads over the top ; clusters of roses and major tonvolvuluses are placed in the front and sides. Jonquil-coloured kid shoes.—Front Jakerasann's Repository. Eviction; Dana.—Round robe of celestial blue gossamer satin ; the border ornamented with a broad twisted rouleau of white satin, with foliage on each side; the leaves edged with blue, a shade or two darker than the dress ; next the bent is an immense rouleau of white satin ; the bust is ornamented with white rouleaux en serpentine, now the favourite manner of finishing the corsage: a failing tucker of broad fine blond encircles the bosom. The sleeves are short and full, of puckered net, confined by straps of white satin edged with blue. The hair is arranged in the Vandyke style, and crowned with a superb plumage of short white feathers, except one, which is ve , long, and boats over the left shoulder. A splen did comb of gad fastens up the tresses, ornamented with rubles. The ear-rings and necklace of pearls.—Frans the Lady's Aktgasine.

The short 'keen, rather longer than they were worn last month, are ornamented to correspond with the trimming on the bust; and, that they may bear some analogy to the foliage on the border, which is oriental, the sleeve terminates on the outside of the arm by a lotus, the petals of which are edged with blue. The hair is beautifully in the Lesbian at*, without any ornament; the Apollo k r : a D:rut and very backward : the tresses not parted on the fore head so much as formerly, a few stray ringlets taking off from that appearance of vacancy given by too great a display even of a fore head the most beautifully polished, and imparting, while they do not conceal the ivory forehead, a feminine softness to the counte nance. The ear-rings are of pear pearls, and the necklace consists of three rows of Turquoise stones, fastened in front with the blue Sower, " Forget me not," composed also of Turquoise stones. — Fran La Bells duesehlis.

Yesteray morning, a trotting match in harness took place on the road to Vialtkamstow, for 20 sovereigns, between a horse belong ing to a Mr. Kerrigan, and the horse of a publican in the Hack ney-road : they were to trot one hour against each other. They started at seven o'clock, in the presence of a number of spotting men, and Zerrison's horse appeared the favourite; but he had not above half an hour, keeping the lead, before he fell lame. Sr eded wager, of course, was lost ; but the publican's horse per formed eleven miles in the hour. PARTRIDGE PHOOTING. Mr. WiMans Coke holds a bet with Lord Kennedy :hat he kills more partridges in twos days, in England, than his Lordship in the same time in Scotland. Friday, the 26th ult. was axed for the first day. In the sporting circles, it is said that Mr. Coke is the sturdiest walker, Lord Kennedy the better shot, and •hat Isis Lord• ship will win by taking the second day at a distant interval ; whereas, had the days been successive, the victory would have been on the [side of Mr. Coke. We know the county in which Mr. Coke will shoot. and we should very much doubt 'whether any part of Sea. land rears so many birds. Mr. Coke is the best shot that has yet 'appeared in the Holkham battles, and we should imagine the finest shots in the kingdom have assembled there. Lord Bury and Mr. F. Buxton stand next to him. The Lottery Mar t,g n the Stock Exchange, has been much agitated during the last week; it appears that the public demand forthe Tickets has been greater than was anticipated, and very few of the Jobbers had any to sell—the natural consequence was a sadden rise of nearly Two Pounds per Ticket, to the great annoy ance of the Bears, who growled in concert. An abor tive attempt was made (by an anonymous letter in a respectable Morning Paper) to check the increasing de mand ; but this honest effort failed is its intended ef fect, for the Market rose the next day, and there is little doubt but that the Tickets,' which are now Sixteen Guineas, to Twenty, if the great Prizes do not gall TO-MORROW. The Ten Thousand Pound Prize, fixed for the First Drawn last Thursday, and which bad created so great an interest, was Sold by J. and J. &manumit, at their Old and Fortunate Offices, 37; Cornhill ; 11, Holborn; and 38, Haymarket—The Number 8,428, was Shared in One Eighth, and Fourteen Sixteenths, the fortunate holders et - which may receive the value on demand.— The Wheel still contains Three Prizes of Twenty Thou sand, One of Ten Thousand, and various other Capi tals.—The next day of Drawing To-sconaow. DUEL. Our Readers will recollect that about a fortnight ago we copied from the Exeter Gazette a paragraph to the following effect :••••" A lovely and fascinating young Lady, of high connections, eloped from her family, who reside a short distance from Exeter, a few days since, with a married man, a Captain of Dragoons." We are now enabled to lay before our readers a state ment of the subsequent occurrences relating to this de licate affair.— As soon as the elopement was dis Covered, Mr. Robert M. one of the young Lady's brothers, immediately followed the parties to the Continent, and after proceeding to Paris, and thence as far south as Lyons, and then back again to Paris, he there met with Mr.De L. whom he immediately struck repeatedly with his stick, observing, " Now, Sir, you know your re medy." Mr. De L feeling that this attack compelled him to call on the brother to answer for the insult offered, he did so, and a meeting in consequence took place in the Bois de Boulogne; Mr. M. being attended by Mr. E.G. W. and Mr. De L. by Lieut. A. of the Royal Navy. It having been settled that both should fire at the same time, and the usual signal being given, Mr. M. instantly raised his arm, but perceiving that Mr. De L. had not done the same, he immediately lowered it, exclaiming, "We are to fire together, are we not?" To this the seconds replied, " Yes, most certainly ;" and a fresh signal being given, both parties presented, and Mr. M. fired, but missed. Mr. De L. then discharged Iris shot in the air, declaring to his second, that although the measure resorted to by Mr. M. had compelled bim to demand satisfaction, yet, considering himself, as he ever must, the original aggressor, he never intended to fire at him, nor ever would. Here the seconds interfered, and the matter necessarily ended.Galigaanta Mom GLASGOW CIRCUIT COURT, SEPT. 23. Wm. Rent out, accused of rape and debauching young girls, was outlawed. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK directed the most active measures to be used for his apprehension, observing, that no bail ought to be taken for him if he should hap pcn to be taken into custody. _ _ Mary Horn, or M‘Strajk, accused of assaulting, beating, bruising, and murdering, on the 2d of August, 1828, Janet 111 , Laren, a young woman, both deaf dumb, pleaded Not Guilty. Tile indictment charged the crime to have been committed in the house of Mr. Crawford, hair-dresser, Bell of the Brae, Glasgow, by means of a hammer. From the evidence, it appeared that *Laren was sitting in the house of Mr. Crawford when the prisoner came in. Several blows were inflicted with a hamnter, which was heavy, and was such a hammer as would be employed to break coalt. The noise of the hammer striking the poor woman's head, as described by two of the witnesses, was as that of two stones struck against each other. 'The prisoner was opposed as much as pos sible by Mrs. Crawford, who besought her not to strike the deceased, because she could not speak. These in treaties, however, had a contrary tendency, and ap peared to make her more infuriated, and prisoner even struck her with the hammer over her head, whileshewas standing in front of the deceased. Blood flowed from the head of deceased. Before deceased was struck with the hammei, she was hit repeatedly with the prisoner's fist. She lingered in the Royal Infirmary until the 29th August. In her declaration the prisoner stated, that she was born in Kirkintilloch, and that she was aged SO. That she is a married woman, but has not lived with her husband for seven years. She &os, however, for some time lived with a man of the name of Mitchell, to whom the deceased had had a child, and in this way she bore enmity against the prisoner, and annoyed her when they happened to meet. She alleged provocation on the part of the deceased, and acknowledged that she struck the deceased two blows with a stick. Mr. ALLISON, Advocate Depute, in hi;;Citlress to the Jury, expressed his confident expectation that the Jury would return a verdict against the prisoner, finding her guilty of The charge of murder. Mr. PATTaRSON grounded his defence on the length of time between the assault and the death of M'Laree. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK charged the Jury, and di rected them to retire, as in such a case as the present, deliberation should be employed. James Swan, a son of the deceased, aged 14 years, was examined. The poor little fellow, who seemed perfectly aware of the nature of an oath, gave his evi dence with so much accuracy, artless simplicity, and feeling, that he excited a corresponding sympathy in the breasts of the whole audience, but more especially in tl.o noble and generous bosom of the excellent Lord Justice Clerk, who, after a severe struggle to restrain it, was so overcome on the occasion as to burst into tears. The impression made upon the whole Court, by this honour able circumstance, it would be impossible to describe. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK complimented him for the way in which he had acted in the witness box, and ex , pressed a hope that the Magistrates, and the other re spectable individuals in his hearing, would exert them selves to put the boy to a trade, that he might be able to gain s livelihood by honest hielustry. His Lordship declared his readiness to add his own assistance. This Onerous appeal was met with corresponding feelings on the part of the audience, who, forgetting the so lemnity due to a Court of Law, applauded his Lord ship *hen he made these remarks. The Jury, on their return, gave in a verdict finding the prisoner Guilty of all the crimes libelled, except the intent to murder; and they, by a plurality of voices, find that Not Provo,. A long argument of Counsel ensued, when.the Loan IJIIETICR CLERK observed, that when a written verdict was given in, no alternative could possibly be made, the Court bad just to take what was within the four corners of the paper. The present was a verdict which would require the most serious and most mature consideration. The Court had, therefore, resolved to certify the case to the High Court of Justiciary on the 19th of November. The unfortunate woman watched the. proceedings during her trial with great anxiety ; and very frequently drank water. Sbe held her mouth open, and her emits tenance bore other marks of internal workings. Eh! hat a bloated and dissipated appearance, which is 54 im proved by her natural features.
