Dsxos neat came forward, and with some -difficulty obtained a hearin2.. Ile a.id, he flattered himself he was about to address them on a subject, which once for a wonder, they would all agree in, 'namely.* •ote bf thank; to their late Sheriffs. Whet' those Gentlemen came into •ffice, they were per fectly unknown to hint; end he knew-little awe% them now, except that they had just gone through a vound of arduous duty in the mlllll exemplary man.- Per. Daring the late contested election, it must he allowed on all sides, that their conduct was as fair and impartial, as that of any who had . ever filled a simslar station before then+. They must also, all agree,' that there never were two men who were more fitted by nature to be colleagues; and they might learn from their example, that little men might have great capacities and trod hearts, for they had attended 'most assiduously to the state of the several prisons, and had by their kindness arid liberality,, rendered every prisoner as happy as his situationwould ad- mit of. Ile then moved. that the thaoltiOf thiCorn. moo-Hall be given to the late Sheriita f r-('f cry of " Put then: separately.") Ile said, b'd would pro ceed in his own way. Mr. .I s IIIS 4 ELTON seconded the motion; and duel vote was carried. Sir G. Aincescifc, okra tittgel came forward. Ile regrPted tellingly, that he _did not see his Worthy Colleen; there, who would have expressed the high sense they bOth must feel at the hOitour bow conferred on them. It, therefore, become his duty, to return them thanks for this high mark of their confidence and approbation. It was non a year since he entered on office, end during that time he had zealously and anxiously endeavour. ed to support the rights of the City, es far as his own -official duty was concerned; and al..° to bring back thrise who bed trespassed upon it by other authori ties. To the Lord Ma, or, Aldermen, and the other branches . of the Corporation, he hid to return his thanks for It .ir kindness whilst lie had been in Offir.. 11. hail come Almost a stranger among them, and unknown; yet they had honoured him with a high situation in the City, anti he tooklesve of them by witting them health and happiness, nod to tl,e City of Lottrinst continued prosperity.— (Applause had no pretensions to higher ho. non's, hut if ever his rellois" . .eitlieesshoild.coll upon him for his services, he should ready 'to obey their • call. , Mr. &UNWELL then Came feriievd with a paper in his hand, as if ebool to move s 11 0 41 1 1000.

I TIIE QUEEN. .it appears by the Bulletin of her MAJESTY'S i,sued this morning, that she slept well last night, and that ker Physicians consider her somewhat better. Her health, however, is in a very fluctuating state. The Bulletin is as follows : 't Kew Palace, Sept. SI. st The QUEEN has slept well in the sight, and her MAJEiTY is a little better this morning. • • • (Sigurd) •i" Y. N. " 11. 11 LFOR D." On Nionday night, her NIAJESTY slept but very indifferently ; her cough wes troublesome, with con. siderable fever, and it was nearly two o'clock before she obtained any rest. The Physicians were in at tendntice altenately, nearly the whole of the night. Throughout yesterday her MAJESTY remained much in the same state as on the preceding day.— Compared with the preceding week, however, her health may be pronounced somewhat improved, as she was able to bear the motion of her chair without suffering much inconvenience, whilst it was gently wheeed into the bouduir adjoining her chamber.— In this apartment she remained several hours, with out manifesting any great degree of weariness ; and at four o'clock, she took part of a partridge for her dinner. A Hamburg!' Mail arrised this morning, which has brought us an account of the Coronation of CIIARLES Joint (13LoNADorrs), King of SWAIDEN / irn: STATESMAN . . . at Droutheim in Norway, on the Bth alt.'

The Emperor of RUSSIA visits the King of SAXONY on his way to the Congress. If we were not ied to conceive that Kings and Emperors are not much embarrassed by the feel ings that usually affect common mortals, we might wonder with what face the great despoilers of the rights and properties of inferior Princes, can meet the petsona whom they hereto deeply injured. Bet the Emperor ALIXANDER has . such an easy way of deporting his Imperial Majesty, and forgetting ell such trifling unpleasint circumstances; that he will doubtless pass through Satony, and hold converaa with its Royal Family face to face, without suffering much from the tokens which must present themselves of the humiliation to which these have'been reduced by the more fortunate power of the Great Alliance. His Imperial Majesty, sod in fact all their Continental Majesties, have been saved the blush on this point by the magnanimous front of Lord CasTLEtteanor, who was the first to declare that Satony ought to be made an esample of punishment to the inferior Princes of Germany, for their submission to NAPOLEON. I , seem's, from the French Papers, that several of the Petty German Princes have repaired to Frankfort to procore audiences of the Emperor of RUSSIA. Much more it appears is espected from tie urbanity of the Russian Emperor, than from all the rest of the congregating Conclave, notwithstanding e'l the power and stately assumptions of justice, which cha racterise the Representative of the Regent of En- LAND, the adviser of the partitioning system, the suporter of the King of Paussra., the worthy Lord CAVILEREACII More signs of friendship and political understand ing appear passing between the Courts of Madrid, Paris, and Denmark. The Petticoat embroiderer has sent by his Ambassador to Copenhagen, a nicely em- broidered Order of the Golden Fleece for his Danish Majesty, who has 'transmitted the Insignia of she Elephant to his vise friend at Madrid. King Lours, we find by the French Papers, has also sent a Herald et Arms to invest the King of Dar aces, who is a Protestant, with the Popish Order of the Holy Ghost. So that though his Danish Majesty is losing Kingdoms, he is coming in for plenty of honours. The Golden Fleece however will not keep him warm, neither, we suspect, will the Order of his holy Catholic friend at Paris operate much as " the Comforter" which driveth away all earthly afflictions. The following are eitracts from the German Papers received to-day : DROSIT,IIEIM, SEPT. B.—Yesterday the Cnrrinatiori of his Majesty took place in the most solemn man ner, in the principal church of this town. The wes. ther being uncommonly fine for this climate at so advanced a season heightheried the splendour of this day, which is dear both to the Norwegians and Swedes, on which their Monarch put on the Royal diadem in a temple within whose ancient walls no coronation had been celebrated for three centuries. The act of the Coronation was performed with pomp and dignity. When the Crown was placed on the King's head, the sir resounded with the acclama tions of all those who were present, as well as of the numerous crowd outside of the church and in the neighbouring streets. A great part of the inhabitants of the neighbour. hood collected to see a ceremony so new in Droll theim, and which might recal to every Norwegian the fairest historical remembrance of his country, and tieing renewed under such happy auspices, promises to the two United Nations a long series of happiness, founded upon their union cud their love to their So. vereign. Yesterday his Majesty dined alone with the Crown, Prince. Ti,..46 7 his Excellency the Norwegian Mi nister of State, Mr. Anker, gave a great entertain. ment to above 150 persons : at which were present the Deputies of the Swedish Diet, sad of the Norwegian Storthiog, the Members of the Council of State, and a great number of civil arid military.olficers of both nations. In the evening the town was illuminated : his Ma. jesty at first declined this illumination far fear of fire; hot the Magistrates having represeoted that all pos. *We precautions were taken to prevent danger, his Majesty yielded to the wishes of the inhabitants. The King and the Crown Prince went on foot through several streets to see the illumination, and was every where received with acclamations by the people. On the 12th of this month, his Majesty and the Crown Prince will depart to return to Stockholm. ISTIANIA, SEPT. 9.—The day of his Majesty's Coronation was celebrated here by various enter tainment.. His Majesty has oidered, that on the day of the pub• lication of his Coronation s ' 27 condemned criminals -.- shell he resibrod to liberty, two be reinstated Jo theW bolster, and one banished the country for the remain ing term of his-imprisonment. None of these par doned criminals are, however, to be set at liberty, till he has proved that he is able to support himself in • legit menner; they are also to be under the specie! rir?filiance of the Police. COPENHAGIN, SEri. 19.—0 n the 16th, his Ms. Pity gave a - pritateabdilince at the Petard of Fre dericksburg to the Spanish Ambassador, Chevalier Yznartly.y.Yzcitiierdo, who delivered to his Majesty the I.osignia of the 'Golden Fleece / which his Ca tholie'Majesty has sent to the King, as a token of his friendship, and of the good understanding be tween the two nations. The Insignia of the Order of the Elephant are sent to Madrid to he presented by the Danish Minister to his Catholic Majesty. Large purchases ere making here of oats, barley, and peas, for exportation to England. A Russian squadron of one ship of the line Dud, three frigates, has arrived in the Roads from the North Sea.

ST. PETeitssouGu, Sm. 9.—On the 7th their Majesties the two Empresses went at eight in the morning to the Church of (he Mother of God, of Casein, to perform the devotions usual before com mencing a journey. On the same day, being the anniversary of the battle of Borodino, the artillery, infantry, and cavalry of the Guard, as well es the troops of the garrisou, and others s►ationed in the neighbonrhood, were assembled to the number of 34,000 roes', and were reviewed by the Emperor, who was highly satisfied with the appearance and precision of the troops. His Majesty set out for Aix-la-Chapelte. Her Majesty the 'Empress Maria sets out to-day, and the Empress Elizabeth to-mor row for Riga, on their way to Germany. BERLIN, SEPT. 2t —The Crown Prince end his brother, Prince William, are gone to Frankfort on the Oder, to pay their compliments to the, Empress Dowager, on her passage through that town. Their Royal Highnesses then go to Breslau, to receive the reigning Empress of Russia. The King departs this evening for Ais-la-Chapelle, where he will arrive on the 27th.

An extract of a Letter from Captain ItYY, of the Agnes, from Jamaica, to his owner at Liverpool, gives the following particulars of the effects of a dreadful Hurricane, which took place it Bermuda, on the 29th of August : Ship AtnPe, ni ten. 9th Sept. 1818, in lai. 34. 44. long. 55. SO. " On the 20th August, at 10 o'clock at night, being 18 miles to the southward, and about 60 to the eastward, of the Island of Bermuda, we experienced a most dreadful hurricane. It commenced from E.S.E, veered round from S.S.W. and S.W., and from dais to the W., end continued until two P.M. on the 30h with the greatest fury. After that time it began to abate ; the vessel aas down on her side, deck under water, and remained so for • considerable time, until relieved by the head of the main-mast going and carg ing away all the top-masts, and soon after the mainmast went two feet from the deck ; unfor tunately the mast hung by some rope, which we could not get to cot for some time : it got under the qutir. ter deck, started the quarter piece, broke in the dead lights, and nearly unshipped the rudder. By this accident a quantity of water got into the cabin, and rooms in which our bread and other stores were stowed ; and I am sorry to say they are all damaged. When the hurricance abated, I cannot describe my feelings : not 24 hours previous, the ship was in complete order, and in want of nothing, and in so short a time to lie deprived of every thing. We se cured the fore and misen-masts ; but the tops and cross-trees were broken. Neither sails, yards, nor rigging left that was above deck, with the exception of the fore and cross jack-yards. When it became moderate I examined the ship well ; and found the Ali _ .■s 7 - 1 IF ' wir - r" Tifr - 7Fritig;r • 4 . 0) -A -.11 A •.Al3 1 - • •.- • .

NORTHERN EXPEDITION.—CAptiIia PECEETT, of the Royal George, arrived here last Friday from Davis' Straits, and brought dispatches from Sir 30115 Ross, Commander of the ships employed in the di,- cover! of the North-West Passage, which were promprty'forwarded from hence to the Admiralty. Capt. P. left those ships on the 2d of August, is lot. 75.22. about 60 miles to the North of the Devil's Thumb, using every exertion to effect the purpose of their voyage, and had then made some important dia. coveries.—( Hull Advertiser.) APPOINTHINT OF A NEW GOVERNOR TO BOUM —The Courier of last night states, that Sir EVAN NEIMAN has not yet resigned, but has signified, wish to do so, and may in consequence be expected to se. turn to England in about twelve or fifteen months. Under these circumstances, it is added, the Coast of Directors hate expressed to the Board of Controal‘en opinion, that some Gentleman should now be pitched 'amen to succeed Sir EVAN whenever he retires. The appointment to such situations fells usually with* the province of the Board of Controul; but Mr. CANNING, President of that Board, has, it is said, de. dined such exercise of his power on the present ores sion, and has contented himself with naming Wee individuals who have particularly distinguished thew selves in the political and military transactions of the late Campaign, and leaving it to the Directors to select any one of the three for the appointment io question. The Gentlemen named by Mr. CANNING, it is said, are Mr. Exenistrrons, Sir Jous MAI" coLat, and General MUNRO. A notice has been given, that Mr. ELPHINSTONE wilt be first proposed to the Court of Directors as a proper person for-the Governorship, and this proposal is to be decided by ballot this day se'rsisight. ST. HELENA.—A Philadelphia Paper gives the for. lowing account of the regulations observed with re. gard to the American vessels which touch at St. lie.; .lena :—" Those who are in particular want of any thing Si. Helena affords, should run for the North side of the Island, near which they will he briarded :from one of the vessels of war that are cruising there.

No romtnunicet• 's allowed with the shoo. Water is brought alongside in butts; all you have to du is to hoist it in and start it. The company charge only 3s. per ton—you also pay the boat's crew —they merit recompense." A Dublin Paper . says—" We are 'stored that the Captains of the Holyhead Packets ore about to pre sent a Memorial to Government, setting forth the great inconvenience and danger of the new Packet Station, and the apprehensions' with which the lip. proach of winter fills their minds. We enderstand that it is their 'determination to invite his Mnjello Ministers to appoint experienced and disinterested navigators, to ascertain whether or not there ere just grounds for their remonstrances and fears. We cannot see how Ministers can feel themselves veer ranted in disregarding their representations. The question is not now, whether Howl's Barbour has cost the notion much money, but whether it answer+ the purpose for which it was constructed ? If a i great error has been committed, and if the works at ' Howih, as a means of facilitating our intercourse with England, are about as valuable to us as the Break water at Plymouth, it is no cure for the ne ' finite! disappointment that life should be endangered, 1 1 or public convenience sacrificed."
