On their arrival at th • Noble Earl's mansion, a great concourse of people were assembled from the neighbouring villages to see them. They Alighted from their carriages, and proceed:l to view the beautiful pleasure-grounds and gardens, with which they appeared highly de lighted. The servants of the noble Earl appeared in new liveries, and the most splendid preparations were made for the reception of the ROYAL PARTY. A reiiiiher of cooks., confeiftioners, and others, were bruu&ht from London, to make the entertainment in the most splendid style possible. AL three .clock, the ROYAL FAMIRY set down to a most sumptuous dinner. We lament the Noble Owner of the mansion can not enjoy the good things of it, as he is so ex tremely alliieted with the gout, that he has lore the toe of his limbs ; when he moves, it is in chair with wheels, and a servant draws it. Nine:, !reds are made up, hut the Party is so nnmerous that they at e not sufficient, and beds arc provided, fur some of die screams. The ROYAL.

BLOXAII, Lea. HUNTER, PRINSEPP, the SHERIIISS, the Reertore. COMMON SkRJEAST, &c. went. on Saturday, in proceision from the Man.ion House to Guildhall, for the purpose of submitting to the choice of the livery, in Common Hall assembled, two person' from among the Court of Aldermen, to fill the offi,:e of Lord Mayor. for the year ensuing.— They entered the Hall between eleven and twelve o'clock, and imm-diarely commenced the elation of the Sheriffs. The following Gentlemen were nominated and approved of, without any oppo sition:—Alderman AiNSLEv, Citizen and Mer chant Taylor, and Alderman Citizen and Skinner. They returned thanks to the Livery, after which they were sworn into office in die usual form. The Court of Aldermen then retired, and repaired with the Loan Mayo' to St. Lawrence's Church, where Divine Set vice was performed ; an excellent sermon was delivered by the Rev. Maxtor Wools. h;s Lordship's Chaplain They returned to the Halt at two o'clock, and having ascended the hus tings, the Rccoaors came forward, and voted to the Livery, that they were met to evocise one of the greatest privileges they enjoyed, namely, that of elating two able and fit persons to be returned to the Court of Aldermen, for them to seleCt one to serve the office of Lord Mayor, for the year en suing. 'Flie Com SION SERJEANT observed, that the worthy RECORDER had explained the objat for which the Common hall had been convened, and, after a short preface, read the names of such Al dermen al, were eligible to that high station—The first was, JAMES SHAW, Esq. Alderman and Scrivener. Upon this nomination, a respectable shew of hands appeared in its favour, accompanied with strong marks of dissatialation. The hands held up hi favour of Sir WILLIAM LEIGH-los were not quire so numerous. The next on the list was Alderman Fi.owea, whose iiornination was received with general bursts of approbation, and supported by a great number of h•tods. Sir Marritaw Barn ass's name was proposed with nearly similar marks of applauie. After a short pause, the CC/Al mon &creasy Came forward, and declared it to be the determination of the Sotto rri o that the choice of the Livery had fallen on Aldermen SHAW and LEIGH roe. 'l' he instant this decision was all• flounced, violent groans and hisses proceeded from differlnt pans of the Hall, and the greatest dis content was manifested. Some exclaimed, "No Sham ! no Shan ! ' while others cried out, "The ma sq. hand' are in foronr of Flower and Bloranr.” The Court of Aldermen again retired to delibe rate, or rather to carry into drat their deliberations already formed. They were absent about 10 mi nutes. Thcy returned with Alderman Suaw on the right of the M v wt. There was some ap plause, bet the hisses prevailed. The Rs:cottons stated, that tie Court of Alder men had approved of JAMES SHAW, Ifoq• to be Lord Mayor, for the ensuing year ; and he was declared Lord Mayor accordingly. amidst repeated outcries of N. ! No! lit is laNt use choice. The Loso NI Avon eleCt, bowed three timas, and endeavoured to address the Livery; but they were so exceedingly clamorous, that very little of his speech could be heard. All we could coiled was, that he thanked the Livery for their elation of him to so eminent a situation. He professed his deter mination to execute his office with impartiality, in tegrity, and justice. He regretted that. the circum stances of the times should have impelled him to that line of public duty, which was adverse to some of the Livery, hut ne li id uniformly ailed from the purest motives. Whatever might be his deficiency in point of judgment, and personal merit, ho toyed to supply by his honest zeal and attachment to hi s Country and King, and his regard for the rights and privileges of the people. He trusted too, that his fallibility would be amply compensated, by the experience and example of his predecessor; and by the loyalty, good sense, and public spirit, of his Fellow Citizens. Mr. NICHOLS moved the Thanks of the Livery Hall to the late Sheriff>, SCHOLEE and Dust- LI.E. Mr. SCHOLET, as the senior, first came forward on the Hustings, and thanked the Livery for this distinguished mark of their approbation ; declaring, that nothing in the world would make him better satisfied with his past condo t, and more zealous and ambitious for the future, to contribute in every re spat to the welfare of the kingdom at large, and more particularly of the great city to which lie had the happiness more immediately to belong. Mr. Dowel ate then came forward, and also ex pressed his gratitude for the unanimous thanks which hail been voted to him and hi. worthy Col league, by their fellow-citizens. When he entered into office, he said, he had determined to spare no pains in performing the duties which were attached to it ; and now that he was retiring from public life, it would always be his greatest laciest, that lie had merited the approbation of the Livery of Lon don. Nothing now remained, but again to thank them sincerely for the honour they had conferred on him. The business being now over, the Common Hall was dissolved, and the new 1..01in as•oa went ill )11, State Carriage to the Mansion Hons.., preceded by the City Officers, and State Trumpeters. The Common Hall was trot so ilum•trouOy attend ed as on former occasion.. A Court of Aldermen will be held tomorrow, for dispatch of public business. ----- The Rigkt Hon.

The Officers went accord ingly, and took them into cusoisty, They searched Mr. P. and his premises, and found a pair of ; but not the least suspicion can attach to hint foirn this circumstance, as the fatal snot, which killed Mr. Blight, was toe big to go into them.

His account was committed to writing, artd he signed it without any hesitation. The Magistrate resumed the investiga tion at eight o'clock in the evetimg, and continued it till near ten. The prisnn:rs were ordered to bit kept in sate custody, at the Brown Bear public house. IMPOSTOR. Saturday morning. William Pierson was brought before the above Isingistrate, charge with being a common beggar and An impostor. It .tppe.tred from the evidence of the parish beadle, a• cad:ng at Somer's-town, that the Prisoner hid, th rt rin-. mg. obtained Is. from the inhabitants of the liou-,et N Clarendon-scpsre, by presenting a petition, stating himself to be a gentleman in distress, and cesciihing himself to be related to several persons of diwinftion; but they refused him any a ssi stair ce. He gave referer.ee to several respeCtable persons, to vouch for the !tests of his story. The beadle, knowing him !tr he ast it n poster, took him into custody. On searching' nineteen shillings were found. He was recogninesi by the officers to have been brought to the cffi:e a short time since, before Mr. Borro, charged by a number of the inhabitants of Chelsea and Brony ton, with a similar offence, where, in several in— stances, he got into homes whe.; r there vver , % only females, and he refused to leave the honse rig he h.d olitaintd some money.

Or. ti.ii ncc.sion, he en deavoured to persuade the Magisu ate to liberate him on a similar promise, and pledged his honour he would keep his word. Mr. GRAHA x told him, he had not sited like a gentleman, which he pretended to be, in bt c.iking his prom i se, which he had made to another Magistrate, and, of course, he should not take his word now ; and asked him, why he did not work. He replied, he bad been brought up a gentleman, btu was not possessed of any talents. This caused a general laugh. He has a very an common face, and it was justly observed in the Office, it was the best calculated for a beggar's tliat ever was seen ; and he can raise a cry, or pretend one, as occasion may require. 411 r Mr. GI! •H A 3l told him, he should commit him as a rogue and vagabond, er he must agree to go to sea. as he must work as well as other people and, after several attempts at a cry, he agreed to go to sea. He appears to be a very extraordinary charac ter. He is a young man, about thirty years of age ; he was very respetaably dressed, he had on a broun coat, with white metal buttons, black kerseymere waistcoat and pantaloons, Hessian boots, and very good linen. At times he had symptoms of being .ta ideot.
