The band of the Coldstr , aiir Guards was stationed on board, and played the national air of " God rave the King," when his Lordship went on board; he Walt attended by 'cereal or the Aldermen, and the Members of the Gold nonlife Company. The barges of the Merchant Tailors, and others, were then tilled with their different Companies; the grand spectacle embarked under a salute of guns from both aides of " Old Father Thames," and proceeded up the river to stminster-bridge. The river was covered with boats and Cutters, filksl with company, and bands of music kept constantly playing as the aquatic procession moved along, which, from the fittcness of the day, had a very he ro:sing and Vatitiltd The late Lord Mayor Was greatly cheered as the pro cession passed along Cheapside, and down Ludgate-hill. The wind was rather brisk, and near 'Waterloo-bridge, the Goldsmiths barge, in spite of the exertion of the water imp, was driven against one of the heavy coal-barges. and snetaineti some cbmage. Near Blackfriars-bridge, several persons tunibled into the water, but no a. rims accident oc curred. The new Lord Mayor was saluted by repeated discharges of ClllllOll, and the ringing of all the City bells. At half-past two, his Lordship landed at Westminster, and proerviltd to the Court of Exchequer. The •Barons of the Evehequer sat in their robot to receive the Civic body. The Het-enter advanced, leading the new Lord Mayor on his right. and the old on his lift. In introducing the new Lord Mayer to the Barons. the Recorder. as far as we could collect from the feeble tone's of the Learned Gen tleman, said he had the honour of introducing to the Court the Right lion. John Garratt. citizen and goldsmith, a gen tlemen elected by the free choice of his tellow-citisens, as worthy, from his public and private sienna', to sustain the most important and dignified office in their disposal—that of their Chief Magistran.. 'lle Learned Gentleman tlesn enumerated st considerable length the duties of the office, and their important and honourable nature ; and expressed his cmvietion that his Lordship would he wanting sit nothing that was calculated to maintain the dignity and splendor which always belonged to the situation. His Lordship wrnUil doubtless pis serve with inflexible firmness, the invaluable privileges of his fellow•citizens, and act with diligence and impartiality on the justice seat ; maintain that hospitality and ittunilieent splendor which were worthy of the first metropolis in the world ; and secure, at the expiration of his mayoralty, the thanks and esteems Of all his constituents. The R.vorder then said be IRA still liormur to introduce Robert IWaithinati. Esq. Alderman and frame-work knitter,whoatursied to render his account of the faithful discharge of the duties of his °inc.. 'f hat gentleman hail acted meritoriously throughout. Ile had discharged his duties with zeal and loyalty. As a magistrate, he had been most &Heim' and able. and lard everywhere gained re nown and esteem. Ile had ahem' himself the fnend of the afflicted, the protector of the oppressed, and made himself the terror of evil doers. Ile hail tnaintaincti the hospitality and miendor of the tile. and hie isinduct throughout the year had been marked by an attl , mt desire to conciliate the good will of his fellow-citizens, and to promote every t hi ng which could orratc to their remal aid political welfare. )lure could be sa;sl upon the sub; :et, but the tense which TUE BRITISH PRESS. this gentleman's fellow-citizens entertained of his cervices were best expn !mei by the unanimous vote of thanks which they voted to him in the last Common Hall. The Chief Heron adtlreased the new Lord Mayor at con- ' siderable length, and expressed his concurrence in the eulogiutn made by the Reconl•r on the office of Lord Mayor, and the gentleman, the election of whom was the strongest testimony that he hail diffused the wealth honour ably acquired for the general benefit. The Chief Ilaron said that from all he knew, and all that he had heard of the gentleman who had been juat elected, he was convinced that the duties of the office would he conducted by h!m with the greatest cal, loyalty, and talent. The Chief Baron then address:el the late Lord Mayor in highly complimentary terms, on the manner in which he had performed the duties of his office. To convince them of his meritorious conduct, it was unnecessary to ;cad the vote of thanks. His actions were well known. He had executed the duties of his office in a manner that did ho nour to the city—in a manner calculated to be his Netts faction in his old age, and the pride of his children here after. After the new Lord Mayor bail been sworn in, and had taken the customary oaths, the late Lord Mayor gave in his accounts, and performed various acts which are continuoil on account of their antiquity. The New Lord Mayor and Sheriffs then invited their Lordships, and afterwards went into the Courkif Common Pleas, to invite the other Judges, to dinner. The procession returned to the city in the order in which it had set out, and reached Guildhall at four o'clock. The ball was splendidly decorated, and an additional number of oil lamps were suspended round the gothic frame-work of the windows, and gave a pleasing relief to the brilliant glare of the gas light. Festoons of gas lights were suspended from the capitals of the high pillars, and as each of the grand monuments was cleaned to perfect whiteness, the effect was inconceivably 'rand. The grand avenues in the Courts and Council Chambers, were all thrown open for the occasion, and hung with crimson drapery, ornamented with shields, which had the appear ance of burnithed gold. THE DINNER. The new Lord Mayor was afterwanls honoured, as is usual, by the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Clsrence, several of his Majesty's Ministers, the Foreign Ainbarrodors, Judges, the City Authorities, Aldermen, Common Councilmen, &c. The dinner abounded with every visnd that the sawn could afford, aid the even ing passed off with the greatest conviviality. Yesterday morning the Worship ful Company of Gold smiths mumbled at their Hall, in Foster-lane, and partook of breakfast, previous to going to Guildhall to accompany the Lord Mayor. The pensioners were clothed, and mustered in the court of the Hall, thirty-eight of whom were clothed in green gowns with yellow collars, caps of the same, each man carrying a shield and spear, precoloil by an usher superbly dress. d, wearing a ruff round his tteck and ostrich feathers in hie cap, and carrying a baton in his hand. A large party of Gentlemen Pensioners; old Bachelors, in number twenty-eight, dressed in a very grotesque manner, with cocked hats, large wigs, and stalk; two bands of music; trumpeters and kettle-drums, alt mounted on beautiful cream-coloured horses, richly miarisoned, marshalled by Mr. Harrison, marched round the Court three tines. The above all wore large fa' ours of green, crimson, and yellow. The horses is Mr. Sheriff Key's carriage are suppos^d to be the most valuable pair in London. We understand that Ave hundred guineas have been offered and refused for these noble animals. ---- ----- CITY TITHES UNDER VIE 37th OF HENRY VIII.

Twenty-two parishes not inclndcd In the fire acts. are protected by local sets, Of their own impropristors are subject to the claim of 2s. td. in the pound, as now asserted by the clergy and lay im proprietors; and whatever may be the Instance. in which less than that amount is ot present paid, there is no guarantee aleainat es in. crease in future ream, without fresh enactments by the legislature. All the fire act tiazishas, having filed stipends, are protected, and likewise the undermentioned impropriate ones Bride's (by the lire act and local act); St. Mary, Aldermanbory (their own im. rolnisinfs); St. Stephen, Coleman-street (ditto); St. Sepulchre, (by the tire acts); St. Laurence Jewry (by ditto and arrangement I with Baliol College, Osford ); St. Lawrence Pountney (their own impropriators). Other parishes also protected, but not in the fire act, are St. Catherine Cree (by local act); S'.

It is iisrcely necessary to advert. to thr passing of • bill in the last sem mon of Parliament, foe the Comaautetlon of Tithes in the parish and township of Lcel4, by which these important results were secured ; and to nunicmus other instances, particularly in regard to the new churches erected in the reign of Queen Anne, and at subsequent periods in and about the metropolis. as well as those of very late years, which have secured the like advantages to the parishes of St. Dunstan in the West, and St. Andrew, Holborn. The Watgoto Chronicle of Saturday nays—" No farther steps have been taken towards an adjustment between the proprietors of cotton mills and the operative spinners." Sorrocartox ar Foe". Ata.—A fatal accident took place lately at tb: colliery of Halbeath, near Dunfermline. Two boys, of stout twelve years of ao,e, were diverting themselves neat • new pit, which had been excavated only a few fathoms. One of t e h s e ce l T sas threw down the bonnet of his companion. who descended in the bucket to recover it; aiul, having staid longer than was expected, the other boy swung himself down by the bucket rope to ter what was the matter, when both of them wero suffocated in the bottom of the pit, by the choak damp, which was after wards sceertained to be three feet in depth. On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, a young man, a painter in town, front a disappointment in love, threw him self into the Clyde, nearly opposite Carhop Piece. Being a good swimmer, by walking and swimming alternately, he soon reached the middle of the stream, after which be either swam or was carried down by the current. It ap pears that he had repented of his rash act when too late, as lie was heard to cry most vehemently for assistance, when none could be afforded. By the moonlight he was seen struggling hard for life. He sunk at length under the Broo 11l i 1111 l bridge. The body was not found this forenoon. —Glasgow Chronicle. Monyaosr.--On the afternoon of Sunday week, while two boys were herding in a field below Redfield, near the nursery, they perceived two immense fish floundering iu the basin, which, ebbing at the time, had kft its finny visitors in shallow water. The lads, seeing a goodly prize. and aaticipatitii* some fun in the adventure, re solved to secure the fi sh, whether they were of the por poise. seal, or grampus kind. For this putpme they waded in between them and the deep waters of Tyock burn, and belaboured the hacks of thiir game with a mall stick. A gentleman at this time passing, wished to vendee the boys his assistance, and thought to wound one of the flub with his umbrella ; but, to his astatC.shment. the animal broke it to pieces. At this time one of them mere& and the elder boy. not more than fourteen years of age, ignorant of his danger, seized the idler by the tail with both hands, and after haring beers thrown down repeatedly, succeeiltal ici pulling it ashore, and, with the help of his companion, draizgeil it to the house of Redfield. It was afterwards discovered that the fish was nothing else but a shark. about two years out, which, with it+ mate, had entered the basin with the rising tide. Its length, from the tip of the snout so the ratrinnity of the tail, is upward. of six feet and a half.

In consequence of the riotous tliaposit:on wine , el towards Mr. Graham and his hallwit, as we stated some time since, the populace was excheled, mitil, with the cac lition of the Bubble Comuiittce, nobody was admitted to view the in flation: the surrounding hills, however, wre covered with )vorle ; in particular we noticed the Mount of die Dane John, which seemed to those bentath a solid 'miss of human beings. At the appointed linur every thing was in readiness, and about half-past two o'clock the aeronauts, Mr. Graham and a Mr. Charles Beer, a respectable tradesman (a tallow chandler) stepped into the car, when she rose in majestic style, though somewhat rapidly, till Itavinf, reached a con siderable height, Mr. Graham, for the gratiflextion of the numerous spectators on the tops of the houses, kindly con tinued for a few ',Minns to hover over the town, waving their Mtge ; then betuling her course to the south, she passed at a rapid rate, till entering a cloud, she was entirely lost to human eyes. after remain i ng in sight about ten minutes. She alighted at Ifilborough, near Reculeer, be ing only half a mile from the sm, and shout sixteen miles I distant from Canterbury. On its first reaching the ground the balloon rebounded about six fret from the earth; when, by the assistance of several countrymen, it was held down by force, and the aeronauts joyfully stepped on terra firma, after an absence of only fifteen minutes. Having secured the balloon and car, they stepped into two chaises, and reached Canterbury about six o cicck. They were drawn in triumph through the town, prcecdid by innumerable torch-lights, amidst the acclamations of the populace. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather in the evening, which till then had been uncommonly fine, seve ral fire balloons, and different descriptions of fire-works, the gift of Mr. Graham, were net, as was expected, set off; and the only amusement for the numerous country folks was the Crown and Anchor Tamen, a booth fitted up in a large field, for the accommodation of dancing parties, which was numerously, though we cannot say respectably, attended. PROPOSED OIL GAS-LIGHT COMPANY. EPROM • CO RRRRR OXDZWT.3 Some time since notices were placarded on the doors of the different parish churches, and in other public plates throughout the metropolis, intimating that it was intended, during the ensuing Session of Parliament, to apply for leave to bring in Bill for the establishment of a Company for " Lighting the Cities of London and Westminster, and Coe respective Liberties thereof, with Oil Gas ;" and Messrs. Nlartinesu and Mahon were appointed Solicitors to the Bill. This proposition has excited no small degree of interest, anti it is understood thatit will receive very power ful support. The substitution of an oil for a coal gas, is advocated on strong grounds. Since the introduction of gas for general purposes, the consumption of oil is repre sented to have experienced a dreadful diminution, so much so, that the quantity on hand, particularly in the London market, now exceeds the actual demand of at least seven years to come, and has consequently dispirited those per sons who arc connected with the fisheries, in a most im portaet branch of British commercial relations. My the adoption of oil gas instead of coal, it is contended that this evil would be in a great measure remedied, whilst it would lessen the consumption of cosh, which are seldom suffi ciently supplied in the metropolitan markets. There is another principle which 1s set up by the partisans of the Oil Gas Bill, namely—that the light produced is stronger and more brilliant. and is altogether devoid of that per nicious effluvia, which has been considered a principal ob jection to the use of coal gas. The plan hag been submitted to several Men of science, and is aid to have received their unqualified approval. It is reported that either Mr. Brougham, or Mr. Alderman Wood, will be entrusted with the charge of its introdug , i t z e to Parliament ; but, we understara. that neither of gentlemen bare, as yet, given any public opinion on the subject. There is very little meson to doubt, but dept it will ex perience a conviderstlile share of opposition from those per sons who have already embarked capital in the numerous Coal Gas ('ompenies already established ; and there is one thing certainly iii favour of the la:ter—it has been tried, and found to answer the purpose required, at least gene rally, whilst the proposed plan is by many considered only as a speculation. It wevi stated. in the early part of last week, that it was in contemplation to call a meeting for the consideration of the question, but owing to unforeseen obstacles, it has been deferred for some time. The following incident occurred one day last week, in the vicinity of Rockla. A smuggler, returning from the North, laden with the dew ef the mountain, which he car ried in bladder!, and accompanied by his faithful dog, was pursuing an unfrequented path along the banks of the Eden. leading towards this city, when the enemy, who had been on the 100k -oat, suddenly made his appearance at a short distance. To save his whisky by flight was im possible ; he therefore tied the bladders fast round the neck of the dog, and sent him into the river. The canine cul prit jmn entered the stream in time to evade the rage of Isis pursuer ; h. forded the river in safety. and faithfully de posited the cargo on the opposite bank, where it was re ceived by " a trusty brothel of the trade," who hail been waiting for the purpoa,.. During the time the dug was crossing the river, the smug:the himself made his escape, leaving the excisemen fairly " outwitted."—Car lisle The following singular and fatal circumstance occurred st "'erring, on Tuesday se'unightt—A fisherman, named Moore, went out for a bottle of spirits for the use of hit family, on some particular occasion, and having procured it , proceeded on his return home, when on getting over a low wall to shorten his route, he broke the honk, and his clothes received its contents. (hi reaeliiin? home. he placed himself before the tire of his apartment, when his clothes caught the flame, by which be was so dreadfully burnt, in despite of immediate assistance, that he died loon after wards. 'f he dm-eased, as a fisherman. was respretalale, and has left a pregnant wife and two children to bewail their loss.—Searce Aare, Ilse?. A fatal accident occurred on Thursday nletnoon near the entrance of the New Dock Basin. About four o'clock, three men, in a small boat, were assisting to haul in a bri4, the St. Elizabeth, from Petersburgh ' --one of them belong ing to the crew of that vessel, and the other two, whose names are Rylar and "{ - ray, being what are called gold dusters—persons who lend assistance to vesails passing in slid out of dock. While employed alongside the brig, the Aire steam-packet arrived from Selby, the Captain of which, thinking there was sufficient room between the St. Eliza beth and the Jetty, dashed into the interval. Thc space was, however, insufficient ; the awn vessels came in contact, and the boat was completely stove between them. The seaman belonging to the bug succeeded in mounting her, without sustaining any injury ; but his two companions were not so fortunate. Kral was so dreadfully crushed, that he expired in a very short time ; and Wray. who was with difficulty rescued frmn a watery grave, now lies its an almost lifeless states—Hal! Advertiser. An arcident occurred yestenlay evening in Mary-street, Limerick. which threw the greater part of the old town into a state of unusual alarm and confusion, an! was n ea r terminating fatally to a large number of persons, who, it a;ipeartsl, had n'+ ambled at a wake, in the second floor of a hosier, in the shove street. From the great pressure in the room, which the beards were unable to sustain, the doming suildmly nave way on one side, with a loud crash, ansl the entire of the inmates, with the body of the deceased, were precipitated into the room underneath, which fortu nately supported the increased weight, and thereby pre vented any fug titer injury. The agitation and disorder this accident occasioned. was, in the first Instance, indeszritia ble, until it had been sacertained by the crowd that no lives were lost. Such most providentally was the case, and all the persons were released in safety from their dangerous situation, some having suffered a few contusions only, of little cons:late •os 4,%eorite:e.
