Hit:lit:oss had taken her seat in her irriage, she 'waived her hand in farewell sal..tzation of her guests : at this critical mo- L.ent. the footman, who attended the door of ti - e carriage, closed it with great violence. Un fertrinately, the fingers of Her Roy Al. HMG NESS'S right hand were caught between the door and the panne), and mangled in a miserable man ner. She gave a piercing shriek, and the ladies, whom she was in the aEI of saluting, flew to the car riage. On opening the door, the four fingers were found almost severed from the hand in a most shock in7 condi ion . the nail of one had been torn off, auJ was f, air d sticking to the Soar. Medical assist ance was imniedirely procured, and the hand was dressed. Her ROYAL HIGHNESS has been ever since in the most excruciating pain ; hitt, we are hap py to add, that the surgeons in attendance do not conceive that the amputation of any of the fingers will be necessary.

It is impossible for us to do justice to the grandeur, taste, and elegance of the prepara tions, or to describe the enchanting scene,. when Their MAJESTIES, the PRINCESSES, KOT•E DUKES, Officers, Nobility, and Gentry, were assembled on board the Royal yacht. Their Mk:trims dined with Ih? PRINCES and PRINCESSES ; at ether tables the Officers of the Household, Eails Powacv, Use/twos, kOiSLYPI, WA ISINGH AN, RIVERS, &c. dined.

Mr. Ewers's, the Comedian, sported in the charaCter of a Skewman, &c. Miss Dec Au also contributed in the same way to the amusement of the company: it was produdive of much mirth, and seemed highly to please His MAHSTY. As evening approached, the inside of the marquees and awnings suddenly appeared spangled with a pi ot u lion of coloured lamps : this interesting scene con tinued till i: was time for the theatre to begin, whither Their MAJZSTI,:s repaired, after stopping but af w minutes at the Lodge in t!iir. way. Mr. Ct MIRKL ASO s comedy of The TV/ter/ .f Fortune, and Of Age To morrow, were performed to a most brilliant and overflowing audience ; we never saw His NlAleser look bct:.sr, or an audience seem more to vie with each other in expressions of - their loyalty.

It might be expelled, that the mild climate of Cornwall. where " the myrtle of erots" Hum fishes in perennial verdure. should prove highly congelial to the tender passion; but, hitherto, the simplicity of our manners has restrained its exuberance, and forbidden our figuring in the field• of gallantry...- We hue this week to report, however, an dem .1,4 and a cc v ,. tea. The charaiters in the former Are .t Lieut. P. who gained unfading laurels on the score! - ing sands of llgypt, and a Miss C. " a soft-eyed cherub" of Bodmin.

GUILT) HALL. ELECTION FOR A LORD M YOR. At the close of the I'oll yesterday at three o'clock, the numbers stood as follow : For Mr. A1.1 , -rtr , :t Perchard . . • . 693 Yw. Mr. AHeroi.oti Shaw 444 Fur Mr. Alderman Flower Immediately after the numbers were rued up ; • Mr-Wail - 144am came forward, and begun to ad dress the Livery, when. a Imo , tumultuous uproar took place of-011/ fgt . ! of! accompanied by vio lent bisiinj. Mr. W. retired, and soon after Mr. Sheriff !knot CY 4Jsressed the Livery, and begged they would.. give Mr. W. leave to speak. This request procured a tomporiult silence, and once more Mr, %VA truss AN came forward, and spoke to the following purport: " GINTLEMEN Of TURJ.IfERY, " I should not have attempted..to trespass on your patience, on the present occasion, had i: not been for the advertisement of Mr. Alderman Shaw, in the public prints of this day, in which he assures you, that • it is the most distant thing from his in tention, by enteiing, on a poll, to seek the office of Chief Magistrate for the next year, or to disturb the order of succession for that proud eminence ; his only objed is to be included in your return to the Court of Aldermen, as next in seniority to Mr. Perchard, and thereby to vindicate to the world, that he continues as high in the estimation of his brother Liverymen, se when he first received the sacred trust of Sheriff from your hands.' " Gentlemen, it is clear, from the tenour of this advertisement, the sole obkft of Mr. Alderman Shaw is to put the Lively of London to the trouble and expence of an Eledion that may last eight days, for the purpose of obtaining the sanetion of a part of the Livery, as to the crnaluet he thought proper to pursue during the course of the late Middlesex Eledion. •• Gentlemen, admitting that it is • the most dis tant thing from his intention to seek the oific- of Chief Magistrate for next year ;' what security have we, if he should be nominated jointly with Mr. P.rchard ; what security, I say, have we that the Court of Aldermen will not tile& him ? Gentlemen, 1 can by no means allow that the proceedings of this day's poll do not give rise to a suspicion that this is the objea ; because, let me tall it to your obser vation, that almost all the votes given this day for Mr. Shaw ars plumpers, and of course tend to ex clude Mr. Perchard ; while, on the contrary, Mr. Flower's ft tends, with a very few exceptions indeed, have unif mly voted for Mr. Perchard. Gentle men, I think it necessary to declare to you that it is not our intention, in bringing forward the present eleition, to stigmatise the chat-oder of Mr. Alder man Shaw; we only wish to state that it is under such circumstances of suspicion, as to induce us to is ,sh for a suspension till an opportunity can be had of in vestigatiug his conduCt, in which he may meet us face to face, and vindicate himself, by fairly ai.d fully evincing to you, and to the public at large, that his charader and reputation are free from those unfavourable suspicions which now attach to them. (Lind opplause , .) •• As to the state of the Poll this day, I assure yr that I by no mca... consider It as unfavourable to our cause, when I reflect on the means that have been used to obtain a majority, and the quarter from which they come. If you will come forward with spirit and unanimity, and aft with energy and vi gour in defence of your constitutional rights, and I maintain, Gentlemen, that those who defend the tight of Eleillh n are the only real friends of the Constitution ; I have not the smallest doubt but your virtuous efforts will ultimately be crowned with the most unequivocal success. Gentlemen, I beg leave to declare to you, that provided the different Candidates possess fair charaflers in other respells, I not consider their political sentiments as any objection to their being eleited to the office of Chief Magistrate of the City of London. In that point of view, the three gentlemen who now contend for your eleelion are exaCtly alike; they are all known to be Ministerial men, yet on that account there is no objection to them. It has been said, that by re turning Mr. Flower, we endeavour to set aside the rule nt rotation, according to seniority ; but I beg Ge..tlemen, to tali it to your recolleCtion, that d). very persons, who are now so clamourous in support of rotation, are the very men who broke it down for three or four years in the case of Mr. Alderman Combe for political purposea only." (Loa and uni versal applause.) The Court was then adjourned to nine o'clock this morning. NEIF SHERIFFS OF LONDON. Yesterday, according to annual custom, the Lord Mayor (Perring), Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Livery, proceeded horn Stationers' Hall, and having em barked on the Thames, his Lordship, in the City Barge, and the Sheriffs in the Barge of the Sta. ti'mers' Company, sailedup the river. Notwithstand ing the unfavourable state of the weather, the bar ges, which were dressed oat with a great variety of flags, and had music on board, made A very hand some appearance. As soon as they reached the stars at Palace Yard, a salute was fired from a small bat tery of cannon as Lambeth. 'lite boatmen. ser vants, &c. were ornamented with ckuble cockades, appropriate to the sheriffs' liveries, the one yellow and green, and the other white and scarlet. Soon after two o'clos:k, the procession arrived at Palace-Stairs, Westminster-Bridge, and. having landed, proceeded to the Court of Exchequer, Wes.- minster-liall. After the usual salutations to the Bench (where the Corsitor Baron, Francis Ma seres, Eq. presided), the Itacoaos a addressed th e Court nearly as follows: 44 Ma. CLASITJA Beams, " I have the honour to present at your Lordship's Bar, Geosge Schooley, Ese i .Cotizen and Distilicr, and Wm, Domeille, E.q. citizen and statiooer, whom the Line; of London, in Comm en Hall a.sercolecl i have eleded to the high and important office of Sheriffs of the City o f Condom, and Sheriff of the County of Middiesez ; an office on which chiefly depends the preservation of the peace and good or der of the capital of the British empire; from their private as well as life, they have been a sub •d of regard to them: fellow citizens, and that con sled which they bereaves pursed, has given them tbe most anxio:::: zeal for the p 4 ic welfare: and, give me leave to assure r.ar hard ship , they 'are most firmly 7 'attached to' *lig Majest)'s person, crown, and dignity, and to All the branches Ott R yal Faniil7, as well as to that Irippy Constitation, under which me live They the. e: )re hope, eta. in the execut , on cf their office, the will prrted the public peace, to the satisitaion of their fellow citize:ls:' The Recorder then pa; I a tribute to the merits of the late Sheriffs, who attended to render the usual accounts to His Malesty, Btc. To which the 134 nos answered: " I highly approve of the choice which the city of London has made in eleaiig these two Gentle men to be their Sheriffs." The several writs w re then read, and the Sheriffs and their Jeptrti••s took the usual oaths. . The Senior Alldirman, who had not passed the Chair (Mr Ansley), was then called to perform the formality (according to ancient custom) of the ser vice of breaking the seeks, counting the horse shoes, the hob-nails, &•:. 3c. ; a serviee# under which the city of London holds a part of its charor. The Rt.cor pea then, in the name of the Sheriffs, regt•.es:ed the honour of the Baron's company to dinner at Stationer? H9/1 ; bite hit Letdship.daclitted the invitation. • The proce-sion, after these ceremonies, again embarked in their several barges, while the band played God Sive the Ki•'g, and a salute of ten guns was repeated from the battery. They rewrites/ to Blackfriar's-Bridge, where the state carriages were in waiting.. From thence they proceeded in the same order they set out, to Stationer? Hall. where a mcst elegant and sumptuous dinner was pelmet& by Mr. Shelia' Doroville. ,l SUICIDE. :rt On the 21st uh, in Oak wellgate, G ttesbeacf, a young woman died in consequence of having taken, a quantity of poison the lay nem*. From motivea ; of delicacy, she had always declinef riving any in: formation of her family or friends, h!'!, by a not* • faunii in her pocket book, it is supposed she new. longad to Grantham, in Lie inshire, whither asi• vice of the unfortunate circuits taiice has been fur warded. It appears that soe had been s-du:ecl. from her parents only a short time ago, an I kept , here by a poison belonging to one of the stage, coaches travelling sou:11. It is said, she had re. peatedly urged him, and that he had pr.•mised to. • take her home again. For this purpose, on tiros.' day morning, the waited on the coach at bridge end, which she attempting to neonot, he en• deavoured to prev e nt her, till having got tx •• he threw her viii(mtly down on the pavement, when. the coach drove off. As so :n as si.e recov re.l the use of her limbs, in the frenzy 'f her mind s. • went and procured the fatal medi..ine, which she took, and returned to her lodgings—there to rest her weary head, and end the terubles of her heart. The author of her misfortunes has aro s et been: AA :l n fir m ". ed. But much praise is.due to the gentle men of that Poice of Gateshead, for their exertions on this oc casion ; having instituted an inquiry into the affair, which will, we hope. terminate in a full explana tion, and thereby saris y, in some sort, the injured feelings of humanity. She WAS a fine looking young woman, below the mi lilt size, of genteel manners and appearance, and might be about 19 years of age. The Coroner's Jury, atter a minute inveiti. gation, on Monday returned a Vertfa of —L •aida and asirniied ; after the body was decently interred in Gateshead church-yard. The Inquest had been adjourned from Saturday to Monsiay i , with the view of sompti:ing George Drury, o:.e of the Guard, of the ;loyal Cli iiiotte Coach. who was deeply implicated in the Arlo-, to attend, but he did not raturn with the coach. It appeared that she had t-avelled by the coach from Gianthant to Ferry-Bridge, when: she te,ided, and had been prevailed on by Drury to go to New,: is:le, to view the town, and that he would carry her hack next day. It did not appear that she had any cri minal attachment to Drur), or that he had suc ceeded in his designs on her person The people ' where she lodged gave the most satisf aft ry acconnt of her conduit ; as:d so g eat was Cie indignation excited in h mind of the i opu ace, t ,at had Drury ret. reel, s s•as expeeed, they would have infiiaed summary justic. upon him.—( Newcastle Coarraf. Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, an alarm ing file broke out in the Work.hop of Mr. Lcvi, pencil-maker, in Oswell•place, lirick-Lane„ White chapel. The accident ss as occasioned by a snuff of candle faking into some cedar chips, which, hei-g light and dry, immediately caught fire and burst into a blaze. In less than an hour and a half, the whole building, which had been ereled at tie rear of the dwelling-house, 112,1 chiefli bu'lt of wind, to gether with a large quantity of cedar boards, work ing tools, &c. &c. were entirely consu.ne 4 , notwith standing the activity and exertions of the fire-men. The Volunteer Corps in that neighbourhood we. e, as usual, on the alert : the Whitechapel, Shnreditch, Bishopsgate, Bethnal Green, and several other corps, attended. By their exertions much mischief was prevented, and the firemen were enabled to aft with convenience and effell. A vast number of engines attended from the several offices. Happily no - lives were lost, nor was any person burned ; and the dwell ing house escaped without receiving any injury. We understand the premises were not iisured.
