The inhabitants of this borough, believing that the power of electing the Chief Magistrate was rested in the ts hole body of Burgesses, and not in the Cor poration, that right having been adopted some years ago in the person of Mr. James Barnes, who had been proposed, and the claim seceded to by the Gen tlemen then in office—it was determined by many respectable inhabitants (not only Burgesses, but also payin4 largely to parish and other rates), to return again to the letter and spirit of the Charter of Ed. VI. by whom this privilege was granted. Monday, the sth inst. being the day appointed for this election,. con. sidetable degree of interest was excited on the occa sion, end the Hall was never before known to been crowded. When the Mayor 'and Corporation reternea from 'Church, and had held some conversation in the Jury. room, it was artunonced to. them, that the Burgesses were prepared to receive them, to eater ott the Waal rsess of the day: After the Court had' been opened, Mr. T. G. Purt.t.to rts rose, and addre,sed it on the part of the Burgesses, .derlaring that interested or personal mo tives had no share whatever in his becomill en ad-, rotate, but solely to support the just rig,tits 'Urges 14. the Burgesses, is granted to thaw SA the before.mentioned period ; anti that in conformity to its power, he should propose Mr. Charles Heath, as a proper persnn to serve the office of Mayor for the year ensuing.—llis address was received with the most markei attention ; and when he sat down, they expressed their approbation by loud and long ap. please. The nomination was seconded by Mr. B. BRYAN, and on a show of hands being demanded, it was car-. ried, with the exception of t Aft Gentlemen. Mr. BAY tot then offered in tLeir etn , iO3 Mr. tier. bet( Itirsi, , tood Air. W2,4.16/114 Sisift, shit!) proposition w.vs also received with the same marks of approhation, and seconded by Mr. lIEmilY flumirs and being carr ier) no a shoe of tiattelg, the like shout. of applause succeeded, as on the mention of the loathe of the 6143 or. 11.-re the Moy or, Mr...lists:a 11AncwicK, pros., and stated, th to hieing the sanction of custom un guide him, he s !, oo i r i propose o th er G e ot;ert i on to fill the oclic•a shove mentiosool, in the person of Mr. Foil,. Liras. as Mtynr, and Mr. JYA.PS BOUM and Mr. James 1',5 , 4114. as 14114,, for the year efisuing. Considerable disapprobation now arose, and the Charters of the borough were respectfully requested to be inspected in Court. This request for moment, declined, but afterwards acceded 10 . most politely by Mr. Hardwick; an hoar slier the business of the Hall was finished, appiiinted for that purpose. After a declaration oh the part of the Burgesses, that she whole of the proceedings st.otild go before the Court of King's Bench, and minutes of eri,:ence! having been taken •and read in Court. thereon to ground the cause of the Burgesses, the Court broke up, and retired to the Jury•rooT, where they as aembled, by appointment, to inspect the original Charters, which •ere a novelty even to many of the Members of the Corporation. Nothing Could more folly establish the right here claimed by the Bor , georts, as these documents• clearly set forth their power.; and on Mr. RI)11101 referring to the last of thane, hat of Charles 11. it commenced' with con arming to the Burgesses all the rights, privileges, lands, tenements, Arc. which had beets given and granted by his predecessor. After such authority as this had been adduced, the Gentlemen on both sides took a respectful leave of each other, disclaim ing all party views, their only motive being to rsta. Wish the just tights and pietileges of the Butgesses at late, under the above high and indissoluble au. thority. Oii the Burgesses retiring to the King's Head Inn, Resolutions were drawn up and signed, and a sub. scription entered into, to defray the exposit* of the 1 law pruteeding.—( See Advertisement in iron tpage.) MANCHESTER, Ocr. 11. To-day we have had • number of ship letters, via Liverpool, from Philadelphia and New York. Such a• are commercial are rather of an Dupl.-64'10t nature. British goods are represented as a complete drug in the market's, and se►eral cargoes had arrived which remained unbroken in the stores. The only articles for which sales could be effected at any thing like a remunerating profit, were bids linens and Yorkshire woollen cloths, and the markets were' becoming over stocked with the latter. To add to these unpleasant accounts, matter wear rather a sombre appearance with us here. There-is little or no demand for articles in thelancy line and what is doing io other branches teas become extremely limited with the few last days. The falling off in our dometic trade is ascribed to the precarious state of health in which an illustrious female has so long remained, which- has checked the cerrent demand for all articles of dress, particularly those in the fancy line. This may doubtless be the case, end can there fore tetra(' little apprehension; bat (he falling off in the American market tannin be unaccompanied by unpleasant' forebodings, more especially when. we know the very great exertions that are at this lime making in Manna every part of the Union to bring those mattufactures to perfection, with which this country has hitherto exclusively supplied theist.— That they will succeed in their endeavours, there is too much reason to fear—bearing in mind that they hare already possessed themselves of many hundreds of our best artisans—(perhaps I should he nearer the truth were Ito say thousands)—and that they are daily receiving an accession to the vast numbers they already have by the emigration of men of the &st rate abilities in their respective professions. Indeed, among well-informed persons, there is a pretty gone ral conviction that America will, at no very distant period, become a very formidable rival to this country. The cheiaers pointed on the window-shatters or doors of ale-heuses, hove been 'apposed to indicate that formerly a genre like draughts might be played there ; this is en error.

DRURY t*wa ..-The excellent Comedy of the Prumpked husband was performed last night, for the purpose of introducing Mrs. W. WesT in the part. of Lady Turenly. This 1,44 has' already made sn favourable an impression in the characters she has sustained in Tragedy, that considerable interest was attached to witnessing her performance in Comedy ; much was eapected, and co believe none were dis appointed. An interesting countenance, a fine figure, and harmonious voice, are great qualifies. lions in an actress, but these alone would not be suf. fici•nt. Mos. W. WRiTpoigotffil dusts to an eminent degree, and adds to them grire, ease, sprightliness, elegance, and feeling. En the playful scenes with ,her hsishand she was very successful, and in the last she left the audience delighted with her performance. Mr. i) %TM Fltilf ER Oa., for the first time, the Lord , 7'oonly of the eight, and went through the part very respectably. Souse of his speeches were delivered with moth feeling, and deservedly applauded. Mr. Wmt,tAms. who, for the first time. appeared in Sir Francis Wronghead, and Mr. Cowat.r., in Squire Richard, were both very well received, and the whole piece went utf with much good humour and success. The lively Farce of the Turnpike Gate suecoodot i , in which Mcsste, in h.s favourite part of Crork,! was irresistibly laughable. Miss CUOITT acid Mr. T. COOKE sang very sweetly. COVENT•O aunEN.—An operatic piece, in two sets, called The Barber of Seville, was last night acted for the first time. It is founded on the Opera of the same name, and embodying, as it duel, the principal incidents of the former piece from Btaemancti sic, I end associating with them part of Rosier and PAE- I stELLo's celebrated music, it is entitled to warm I approbation in its compressed form, and the burst,' of laughter and shoots of applause with which it was' . received, promise it a lasting pnpularity The object in bringing the piece forward at this i moment seems to he t• give additional eclat to the , first appearance of Mrs. Dtercosts on this stage, w hose , return from the Continent the admirers of British "harmony have hailed with much satisfaction. The Opera was happily chosen; as the character of Rosina, which she assumes, is well calculated to display not only the powers of the singer, but the abilities which belong to her as an actress. Several of the scones were admirably worked up, and the effect of the whole was equal to any thing the Managers could have desired, It follows that the success of " 77se Barber of Seville" was complete. In the course of the last scene, the tranquillity of the audience was disturbed by an alarm, which, we believe, arose front the wantonness of some drunken intruders, at half price, who excited an apprehension lof fire. For some moments every thing was ID a state of confusion, but the tranquillity of the Per. I formers, and of the greater part of the audience, I°velem@ the fears of the more timid, and confidence end good humour was soon restored. The Comedy of The Miser followed, in which I Mr. FAitecsr pet formed the part of Lovegold. for 1 the first time. In this effort, he rather introased than diminished our former high opinion of his OA lilies. The whole went off well. • ABIERDFEV, OCT. 7.—last M eek, Miss BYRNE and Mr. SINCLAIR, gave three concerts here. Miss thitivE is a powerful singer, and possessed of much execution. We never heard Mr. Stnctatit in better coke, and can observe a marked improvement upon even his former excellence: oar national song of •' Scots wha' hae Wallace bled," was given and received with the greatest enthusiasm. At the close of the lest concert in the Theatre, an incident oc curred, which, while it did honour to Mr. SINCL 41 R'S showed the esteem entertained for him by his did patrons :—When he was retiring, " Auld lank ene" was eagerly called for, and instantly compiled with—these words, in the second verse— " But Pve waualet'd many a weary• font, •' Store the days o' Log sytte," were seized upon by the audience, and applied to him in a manner. which so affected hie►, that he with difficulty finished the following verse; awl, on corn. mincing the last, he was so much overcome as to be onaWe to go on ; and was obliged to leave the stage, having indistinctly articulated the cause.—( Aberdeen Journal.) The new Soh-Committee of Drury-lane consists of AloottE, Colonel DOUGLAS, Mr. WiLsom, Al derman Cox (the 13Attker), and Mr. IRONMONGER. Mr. ROBINS was proposed by Lord YARMOUTH, and had one tote. It is said that the election of the above Sub-Committee is to be submitted to a General Meeting of the Proprietors.

The young Gentlemen who are thus educating for the good of their country, are now so numerous, that it ought to be recommend ed to that great economist, the Chairman of the Com mittee of Finance (which, of course will be revived in the new Parliament), to suggest some cheap plan for the education of our future Statesmen.
