RIGHT OF REPOR lING. MAYOR'S CHAMBER, NEWCASTLE. FROM VIZ TYNE MERCURY. Seren weeks have now elapsed, since the writer of tho, Mr. H. A. Mitchell, attended the Mayor's Cham ber, for the purpose of reporting the proceedings. For that attendance he had the full sanction of Robert Bell, Esq.eur late excellent Chief Magistrate, and he conti tuaki to take notes without interruption, till the .present 4 3fayor, William Wright, Esq. came into office. The rely day after his election, on Tuesday, the 7th of Oc tober, Mr. H. A. Mitchell was called upon by Mr. John Brown, Clerk to the Magistrates, who stated that the Mayor had sent his compliments, and requested Mr. H. A. Mitchell would desist for the present from attending the Mayor's Chamber to repoit the proceedings, as has brother Magistrates were not agreed to approve of it. Mr. 11. A. Mitchell immediately afterwards waited on the Mayor at the Mansion-house. His Worship reFeated the observation of Mr. Brown, and col:rteously declined sanctioning his attendinee on his own authority, in con libliodua of what hid oceanid at a previous meeting of his brother Magistrates. Mr. Mitchell expressed regret bat his sense of duty to the Public would not allow him to absent himself, and that he was therefore determined to appear as usual in the .Mayor's Chamber, whatever might be the result. The day following, Wednesday, the Bth of October, being then the first Court.day, Mr. R. A. Mitchell, as heretofore, entered the Mayor's Cham ber at ten o'clock in the forenoon. About a quarter of lit hour after, Mr. Alderman Sorsbie came in and took his seat as Sitting Magistrate, in the absence of Mr. Wright, when the following conversation took place : Mr. Alderman &mist:K.—ls your name Mitchell, Sir? Mr. H. A. MitchelL—lt is, Sir. Mr. Alderman Sousutr....—l understand, Sir, you had yesterday ionic conversation with the Mayor relative to your atteudiag bcre for the purpose of reporting the proceedings? Mr. H. A. Mitchel L—l had, Sir. Mr. Alderman Soasunr..-4 regret, Sir, that when be intimated to you that his brother Magistrates were not agreed to approve of it, delicacy did not induce you to absent yourself. Mr. H. A. Mitchell.—l regret, Sir, that my sense-of duty would at permit me to accede to his request. Mr. Alderman Soasina.—Then you claim to attend here as a utter - of right? Mr. H. A. Mitchell.—i do, Sir. Mr. Alderthan SOIMIL—Then I order you to quit the room, Sir. Mr. H. A. Mitchell.—l must decline complying with that re aest, Sir, till it is supported by the application of force. Mr. Alderman Soussau.—Forsyth, take Mr. Mitchell out. Thomas Forsyth, the Police Officer, then bid hold of Mr. H. A. Vitchell by the arm, and conducted him out. Mr. Mitchell considers this expulsion from the Mayor's (lhainber as an onttageous infringement of one of the most important rights a subject of Great Britain can enjoy, the right to attend a Court of Justice. He might, urge the expediency of Reporters having the sanction of Magistrates to attend to take notes of the pioceedings;, be might dilate on the advantages the Public derive from such a measure.--he might remark on the imputa- Qin the Magistrates cast on themselves by attempting to exclude them, but be,fMhears. He considers it the right of eirety man in this . country to attend in a Court of Justice, as Icing as heel:4l'l6as himself with decorum, and he conceives the only limitation to be, the want Of morn. Mr. H.A. Mitchell is determined, therefore, cotditionally to 'try the question, and for this purr pose no oppottunity could have occurred more La. viorable. He will bring an action for assault against Mr. Sorsbie, provided he receives from the Public that support he is entitled to ex pect. EconstaNi.,—A matrimonial excursion is said to hive taken place froze the .Igetrupulis on Friday last. The Lady is daughter to a wealthy merchant in the City, and the partner of her Right is, it seems,.fitst Geit //man to a Gentleman of rank at the West-end. There were many peculiarities in the character and ;bits of the late KINO. Until his sight began to fail e had no Secretary. He was 'pearly riser, whether in !own or in the country, and seillods WOW a servant or anything-he could do himself. The little crib, in hich his Alaissry slept in the Queen's Lodge, at Windsor, was contiguous to the office where he trans cted the public business. Here he was found at his k by 'sit o'clock in the morning, even in winter, aving lit-his own fire by the candle which he - burytt in is chamber. The messengers from the various public ffitis wale frequently adtmtted anl dispatched by the. 184 himself. ft was said to have been a source of eat pain to his MAJEsty, when, from the loss of tilt, Sir lizirseitt, then Culollel TAYLOR, Was 2p• nted his Secretary at due recommendation of the Like of kiolt4. THE ARMY. • The South hams Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry closed the* periad.of permanent duty at .Totness, on Monday last, and were reviewed by Major-General Assts, who expressed his high sills; faction at the precision of their movements, a nd their soldier-like ail-1 peaianee. Th e G enera l h av i ng l e f t the field, Lieutenant-Colonel: l's.urr.su, the officer comtnanding, formed the ifoops into a square,, and expressed his high satisfaction at the orderly conduct of the Re giment in quarters, and their great precision in the field ; he rd.' gretted, ilk common with all the Corps, the absence, from indispd sition, of their much-loved Commandant, Colonel Barmen - and attributed the high s t a t e o f di sc i p li ne w hi c h th e C orps h a d atts:lned, to the gentlemanly manner in which Captain TUDOR, the Adjutant, had aided the Officers and instructed the men. At the close of his speech the Corps cheered him and Colonel BASTARD. Immediate!) , on the men being dismissed, a silver cup, subscribed for on tbl preceding evening by the Officers, was run for by horses belonging to the Corps, and won in good style by Mr. COLLARD, of Captain Knco's Troop. The 4th Troop of the East Devon Legion Yeomanry Cavalry, assembled on Wednesday se'nnight, at Hillersdeu Park, near Col lumpton, and partook of a most sumptuous dinner, provided by their gallant Commandant, Captain W. Buss, and the day was spent by them with the utmost conviviality. A great number of the Gentlemen of th e nei g hb our h oo d di ne d w i t h t h e T roo p, an d the regimental band attended. Before dinner, the Troop was exercised and drilled by the Captain, and performed their duty to his corn.; plete satisfaction. Captain BURN was highly distinguidied for Iris bravery in several battles of the late war. We extract the following account of perhaps as singular an oe currence as was ever narrated, from Southey's History of the Pruitt sailor War: " Two of the Regiments which had been quartered in Funms, were Cavalry, mounted on the fine, black, long-tailed Andalusian horses. It was impracticable to bring off these horses, about 1,100 in number ; and Romana was not a man who could order them to be destroyed, lot they should fall into the hands of the French. He was fond of horses himself, and knew that every man was attached to-the beast which bad carried him se far and so faithfully. Their bridles, therefore, were taken off, anti they were turned loose oti the beach. As they moved off, they passed some of the country horses and mares, which were feeding at a little distance. A scene ensued, such as probably never before was witnessed. The Spa nish horses arc not mutilated, and these were sensible they were no longer under any restraint of human power. A general con flict ensued, in which, retaining the discipline that they bad learnt, they charged each other in squadrons of ten or twenty together; then closely engaged, striking with their fore feet, and biting and tearing each other with the most ferocious rage, and trampling over those which were beaten down, till the shore, in the course of a quarter of an hour, was strewn with the dead and dis abled. Part of them had been set free on a rising ground at some distance; they no sooner heard the roar of the battle than they came thundering down over the intermediate hedges, and catching the contagious madneis, plunged into the fight with equal fury.— Sublime as the scene was, it was too horrible to be long contem plated; and R 01114113, in Mercy, gave orders for destroying theM. But it was found too dam/woes to attempt this; and after the last beats quitted the beach, the few horses that remained were seas still engaged in the dreadful work of mutual destruction." THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. The Play of Pizarro was produced at this Theatre last night, and Mr. MACREADY made his second ap pearance on its boards as Rolla. The most beautifitl features of the character are its romantic virtues and its fearless heroism. In all of these MACREADY was highly effective.. His address to the flying soldiers was de claimed with admirable emphasis and fire; and_in the subsequent scene with Pizarro, where his greatness of soul will not allow the Peruvian to commit a disho- nourable act, even for'the salvation of his country, there was scarcely a sentence which did not afford matter for praise. Mr. WALLACK played Alonzo with great effect ; and Mrs.WEsfs Cora had its usual interest and charms. In the farce of Monsieur Tonson, GATTIi took his distinguished place as the representative of the tmfortis; nate and persecuted Morkleu. COVENT-GARDEN. Mr. YOUNG performed the character of Macbeth last evening. As the pre-eminent part of his performance, we should select the scene with Lady Macbeth, subse quent to the murder of Duncan ; in which the dreadful agitation of the yet but half-hardened villain, at the re collection of the atrocious crime he had committed, was very impressively depicted. In the banquet scene he was no less successful ; but his greatest display of ability was undoubtedly towards the conclusion of the , Piece, at the moment when Macbeth learns from Mac de the little reliance he can place upon his if charmed life." The able manner in which Mr. YOUNG appears to shrink within himself, when all his hopes of success in his guilty career are thus cnt off, was acknowledged by repeated and well-merited applauses. HAYMARKET. This Theatre concluded a very successful season last night, with the Farce of My Grandmother, and two of the most approved Pieces produced during the season, Sweethearts and Wives, and Fish Out of Water. At the conclusion of the second Piece, Mr. T. Disarm, Stage Manager, came forward and delivered the following Address, which was received with great applause: Lamas AND Gurnmitzw—l have tbehonour of appearing before you as the representative of the Proprietors of this Theatre, to an nounce to you, that with the performances of this everthig their season wiU ter minate;i and to offer you their sincere thanks for the liberality with which you have rewarded their amid to deserve your favour. These, as they have been unremitting, so bade they been successful beyond their most sanguine expectations. " The seasons of this Theatre are necessarily short, but in prat portion as they are short; the Proprietors are desirous of rendenng them attractive. They leave to their larger and graver rivals the weightier cares of the tragic drama, happy if they can add to your stock of innocent enyordent, 'and pronlote good humour, I gaiety, and laughter. " Of the dramatic novelties .which they have produced for your amusement, the greater proportion you have honoured with a share of approbation nearly unprecedented ; and, ever obedient to your wishes, and confident in the justice of your decisions, they have in stantly and unhesitatingly withdrawn such productions as have failed to obtain your sanction. " With regard to the Performers, the Aim wish of the Pro— prietors has been to collect a company in some degree worthy of the distinguished patronage with which this Theatre has at all times been honoured. Iu this respect they trust they have suc: ceeded to your satisfaction; for, together with much provincial ta lent, they have offered you a combination of a very considerable por tion of the comic and vocal strength ofboth the great WinterTheatres, io Such arrangements, Ladies and Gentlemen, will be made, not only for your amusement, but also for your comfort and conve nience, at the ensuing season, as, the Proprietors trust, will entitle them to a continuance of your patronage. " And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg leave to express to you my own thanks and the thanks of the Performers, for the uni-' form favour and indulgence with which you have honoured our ef forts to please you. - " Ladies and Gentlemen, for the present season, we all most humbly take out loam." Duat.—A meeting took place in the fields, at the back of Cannobury House, early psterday morning; between Mr. F—jt and Mr. B—r, a Gentleman of fortune, in the vicinity of Burnham, Backs. The dis-• pute originated in consequence of alleged misconduct, to a niece of Mr, B—, in a ball-room. The parties fired twice, and Mr. 13-.. received a slight wound in•, the side on the second fire. Mr. a surgeon, at tended ori the parties, and the affair vas settled as fat as the wrath of the opposing patties went. The whole of the south wall (36 yards long and froth, 10 to 12 feet high) of the Parish Church-7*rd, at Pres ton, fell down together, about ten o'clock at night, on• Wednesday, the Stl instant: Fallii in the night, no actident occur: LOANS ON MORTGAGE. The following annunciation, of the Bank of England now ending money upOn mortgage, appears in some of the Daily .rapers:— " The Bank Directors have adopted a resolution which is likely to be of essential service to the agricut; . tural and landed interests—we mean that of lending on mortgages. Soine very considerable lanai() proprietors have, in consequence, been enabled to reduce materially the rate of interest they had previously been accu s tomed to pay on that species of preptity. We hive not been able exactly to ascertain the rate Of interest actually. charged by the Bank, uhich, hoivesier t we have reason to believe not to be a fixed rate, but probably varying in a certain degree with the estimation of the borrower s credit and resources. It is probable that the Directors —as this is a mode Of employing money by the Bank which is wholly new—will limit at first within certain bounds the capital devoted to that use." IGNORANCE AND INFATUATION OP THE IRISH POPULACE. Our Lord Mayor has been very active in his endea vours to check the frauds practised in the Markets of this City, in the adulteration of Bread, light weight, and other abuses. These labours, in which he has been in defatigable night and day, are calculated'principally for the benefit of the poor or labouring classes. The, rich can protect themselves against imposition, or they can afford to be cheated; but the scanty earnings of the ,pooi'man limit his supplies of food to the mere wants of necessity, and he requires the full value of his money to satisfy his craving appetite. Although it is clear that the labouring poor are chiefly interested in the detection of fraudulent practices in regard to the quality and quan. city of their food, it is not less certain, that the praise worthy exertions of the Lord Mayor, to protect their interests, are the cause of hostility on their part This fact would surprise any man in any country, but an Irishman in Ireland, Such is the low state of morals in the country, the unmixed course of fraud in every quarter, that honesty seems an unknown principle, and any attempt to redress abuses is violently resisted by even those who would derive the greatest benefit from fair dealing. The Lord Mayor has seized large quantities of light bread, and of meshed potatoes for adulterating it ; and notwithstand ing this good work, the reproaches, instead of the praise, of the mob, or lower orders, accompany his progress from street to street while so laudably employed in the performance of this important duty. He has also seized bad butcher's meat, unfit for dogs, but intended for men! and while examining Clarnedon-Market on Satur day last, he was roughly attacked by butchers and other ruffians. Some of his attendants were knocked down,and otherwise severely beaten. As the law of the land is not much respected anywhere in Ireland, it need not surprise us, that the butchers, who were likely to suffer from his Lordship's visitation, should assault him, but it really seems astonishing, that the mob, or rabble, should abet the cause of those who cheat them, and not support the exercise of power to redress their grievances; but the fact is obvious, and it was only by an accession of Constables that his Lordship was able to secure the assailants, who, in our opinion, ought to be punished with the utmost severity of the law.—Dublin Journal. OUTRAGE ON THE LORD MAYOR'S SUITE. The highly meritorious exertions of , the ltizht Hon. the toot 14ayor, in punishing the &antis, and ekposing the atrocious conduct of several venders of human food, whose poisonous substitutes for bread, sound meat, &c. have, no doubt, sent many a fellow-creature prematurely to the grave, calls for the undivided admiration and gratitude of every inhabitant of this metropolis. Up wards of 1200 loaves of bad bread (or deficient in weight) have been seized within a few days. in the markets, his Lordship has been obeyed in every instance, save one, Clarendon-market, where several individuals have dis graced themselves by a ferocious impatience of magis terial authority, and by a wicked and barbarous resist ance to the laws ; in one instance some fellows grasped their knives with an apparent intention to commit an assault on the Peace Officers in attendance on his Lord ship, when Peace Officer Cox, of the Head Office,skrujk the kAlow down, and took away his knife. : At four o'clock on Saturday, an investigation: into this riot took place before the Magistrates of the Head Office of Police. 'The Lord Mayor attended, when a great number of witnesses were examined. The persons who were principally concerned in this outrage, eye. cially tke man who jumped on Bradshaw, are known. A regard for the due administration of justice forbids our publishing more of the investigation at present. By an account from College-street Office, his Lord ship was attacked by some butchers, when stones were thrown at his Lordship and suite. The horse and foot police immediately attended, and the disturbers fled in all directions. Bradshaw, one of his Lordship's Staff mea, has been desperately wounded on - the head and ribs by a sharp instrument. There is little doubt but that he would have been murdered on the spot, were it not for the humane interference of Mr. Coghlan, Who lives near the Market, and protected him ; he is still in a bad way, Undismayed by this atrocious conduct, the Lord Mayor afterwards visited other markets, and con-, tinued to seize on every article which' he foiled to bate been fraudulently wade up, light in weight, or unfit for domestic use. _ _ _ Yesterday, a little after two o'clock, another investi gation took plate at the Head Office, on this subject, when three persons, named Michael, John, and Stephen Devoy, undirwent as examination. Michael and John I)evoy were committed for further examination. Satutday morning the Lord Mayor found it ne cessary to make more seizures in Clarendon. Market, when he met *ith most reprehensible resistance. Friday, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor visited the baking establishment of Fitzsimons, him Wißiarn, street, and seized a quantity of bread; he had pre viously seized several loaves of bread ai the same house. His Lordship was walking away, when a voice -called I out, " My Lord. Mayor, come back r his LOrdship re-1 turned, when the person who had called out shewed his' Lordship into Mr. Fitzsimons bake-house, and pointed' . out to him nearly a barrel of mashed potatoes, which were fraudulently intended to be mixed up with flour, add sold to the Public as bread—a crowd immediately assembled, who seemed disposed to demolish the win dows, which his Lordship prevented. This substitute for bread was exhibited through the City ; it is' under stood that Fitzsimons will be prosecuted..i46id. Fitts.-.This morning, at bre . ° clock, an alarming Ere' broke out in the house of.

These Sessions commenced berme FnANCIR s CON:sn', Esq. (the Chairman), and a full Bench of Magi,tratec. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the . Grslnd Jury, remarking, that the business that was likely tia axle be fore them was of the usual kind. On the Petit Jury teeing sworn and impwelled, Lieutenant William waiter Kali, R N, was put to the bar on an indictment, charging him with having as saulted, on the 4th .Jur last, at the Hangerford Coffee-house, twain Robert Hagan. Our Readers will recollect this case arose out of,a fricat in the coffee room between the - Gentlemen , in consequence of some abrupt language being excbanged. Mr. ADOLPIILI3 having, in stating .the case for tha prosecution, detailed the nature of the assault, Mr. C..PuiLLIPs, on the part of the defendant, was most willing to admit that the assault had keen com mitted ; and put it to.Captainitaghn to say whether his honour would* not be better consulted by receiving as apology, which Lieutenant Kelly wpw itady„to make? Mr. ADOLPHUS said, as his Learned Vrlenti had ex pressed hii willingness to ,hake an apology, be should, on the part of his client, say t h at nothing fuither was wanting, which was dear from the fact of his gallant client not having brought his action for dainagei, bet preferred The mode by indictment. Mr. Pntwes then, on the part of Lieutenant Kelly, made the apology, and the parties withdrew. 8110117'1AG INI'r.LLINCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETINO, WEDNES6A V, myosin 15.
