LONDON, FRIDAY. Ocieses 1, 11011.. Cnildhall resounded yesterday with the uproar that usually mks a popular election. The P „n o ,- c ommenced at an early hour, and was con tinned thrJughout the day with unceasing energy ; but the friends of Alderman BRYDOES seem to have been the most active. His more popular rivals, however, still have plecedeoce of this Gen s!thotigh the numbers polled for him dur;l,4 the course of yesterday exceeded those that voted for Aldermen TuoaP and WOOD. That our readers may perceive accurately the progress of each Candidate, we shall state the numbers re. 6 / Tetively polled by each during the two days. Aid. Wood. Ald. Thorp. Ald. Brydgeh. On Vre.hiesilay .... 269 thi Thursday...... 630 Cl°4e of tbo Poll 1 799 yesterday .. • • j Whatever the result of the present election may be with respect to the Geutlemeu more immediately concerned in it, we hope that the Livery will olitam in the successful Candidate a Magistrate who will feel it his first duty to protect the rights and immunities of his fellow-citizen., and not suffer • paltry object of personal ambition to divert ' him from regarding the esteem and approbation of the people as the legitimate object of his honour able pursuit. In the present delicate crisis of our political existence, it is of paramount importance that the Chief Magistrate of the City of London should he possessed of the confidence of his fellow. c7tizeos, and be firmly impressed with the necessity of ieulously upholding the privileges of the cum mummify against the insidious attacks of a faction supported by ministerial patronage, and directed by court intrigue. Experience has •hewn that v.) regard far those privileges hitherto held to be must sacred in this country—no respect for those 11%4 and principles which have given at once liberty 1.. the subject and security to the Sovereign—no sentiment of pity or humanity, or even of common decency, offer any impediment to the advocates for srbitrary power in the pursuit of measures which they conceive favourable to the promotion of their darling object. This consideration should stimulate the friends of liberty to fresh exer tioos for the maintenance of our existing insti homes. Let the public be assured, that if the frame of our political system be exposed to dai , ;er, their fears should not point to those Ow are called Radical Reformers. Where the power exists, there is the danger, and what power have the Reformers—poor starving manufacturers, without money, or system, or even numbers, hav ing no leader of eminence to concentrate their vague desires to ■ny given purpose, and un supported by the voice of public opinion —what power have they to oppose with success against the terrific arm of military strength ? The means of instantly overwhelming all opposition to its will, are of this moment in the hands of the Executive Au- Oority, and our only guarantee against the itn ',toper exercise of such • force, is the discretion of the Sovereign. Upon this assurance in the pre sent instance we may rest with the most tranquil confidence, for we firmly believe that not a man in the community respects the privileges and im munities of this nation more highly than does the Illustrious Personage to whom the destinies of the empire are now committed. But the Govern ment of this conutry in all its extent could not be administered by one hand, and the Sovereign's authority is consequently delegated to others, whose judgments may be overwhelmed by passion, and who might sacrifice the Constitution itself, and make the offering subservient to the attainment of their own base wishes. How many of these mistake the real sentiments of those above them, and think that they make themselves most acceptable to their superiors by crushing all who have the misfortune to be placed within their immediate iefluence ! It is true to demonstration, that the prerogatives of the Crew:: can incur no danger from any pretensions of the lowest classes of the people ; how absurd and contemptible then is it to affect an apprehension trout the open and undisguised meeting of some un t uiployed artisans, who perhaps might starve were it not :Or the support they derive under the Poor Laws! Such fears can have no foundation in truth or reason, and can be assumed solely for the purpose of imposing upon the public, and of mask ing the designs that are really entertained against the general liberty. Let time people, therefore, be upon the watch, and !use no opportunity of firmly asserting their privileges. Under the present circumstances of the country, the choice of a Lord Mayor is of pecu e liar importance. London is not only the capital of , the kingdom, but it is also the chief citadel of Eng. lish liberty, and the character of its Chief Magis trate must exercise a sensible influence throughout the country. A Flanders Mail arrived lan night with Papers from Brussels to the 29th lust, from which the following are extracts:— MUM, srovastatax 15. The King lims given the most positive orders to Coast Calk" Cominautler.:n-Ciiiof of the zrand czixtiation, to eooploy all the means in his poser to enable it in sail as soon as possible. The General has already visited the Admiral's ship, which is to receive him and his stair. He was extremely satisfied with all the arrangements made ; but the yellow fever still continues its ensigns in the Isle of Leon in a dreadful manner, and it is generally believed that it would be imprudent, under these circumstances, to crowd .a numerous army ou board a fleet which may be infected Sy this dreadful malady. A Committee, composed of physi. cians of distinguished merit, is now employed in making observations on this subject, and will send in a report to the Government. We bear no more of Melchior and his hand. The roads of Estrewadura are very safe, and travellers are perfectly secure upon them. Morino, whom the Elielisli newspapers make a General, has disappeared with his formidable army. /FRANKFORT, 111FITIMNIKR Letters from Frankfort antiosoce, that urn the 25th of this month the King will take the oath, and canoe the Constitu tion to be observed. His Majciny will then go to Warsaw, to have an interview with the Emperor Alexander. Prince Pad of Wirtembern has addressed a letter to the Assembly of the States, which has been referred to a Committer. BRUSIIMI, ',Pima= 21. The last accounts from Curative, of the Ist August, say that news bas been received from Margarine, that the fleet of the Insurgents, consisting of sixteen ships of war and twelve transports, some of which are armed, sailed from Margarine on the 13th of the preceding month, with 1,000 English troops on board, and landed on the 19th at Cowan* —that city, and all it contained, fell into the bands of the lasergents, as well as IWO Spanish ships of war, which could not escape from Admiral Brion. stausatts, icrnimmiß 26. The immense works carrying on at Namur are prosecuted with astonishing activity ; this place will soon be a fortress of the first order, but the Citadel, which is far advanced, is particularly curious. The works may be looked upon as one of the wonders of the art of fortification. The castle of Huy, which is to become one of the most important points on the Meuse, is completing with the same activity. Vire have received Paris Pipers of Monday la 4. One of them announcer, with some degree of ems fidence, that the Legislative Chambers will be as sembled on the 18th of October. The meeting of the Chamber of Deputies will be looked to in France with no light interest, us by it the fate of the pre sent Ministers will, it is thought, be determined. The 'deices contained in these Papers from Spain, give no additional intelligence respecting the state of the yellow fever in the Island of Leon; but io a private letter from San Andero, it is asserted that the grand expedition will certainly sail from Cadiz about the time of the young Queen of SPAIN . % arrival on the frontiers. To this intimation is added, with an af fectation of mystery. that " the destruction of the Insurgents of America will probably not be the only result of this grand armament." With what hippy coufidence G. the destruction of the America,' Incur• :pats" is here anticipated ! 11'hether any portion of the force now collected in Cadix will proceed to the Florida* or not, is at present unknown ; but we conceive that this circumstance will have but little influence upon the ultimate fate of the 'Spanish Colonies of South America. The maritime force of Spain appears very formidable, hut many of the ships are known to be unfit for service. The laws of the State of New York give the creditor a very large discretionary power over the disposal of the debtor's 'person. An inquest was held on the ifith of August last, in the debtors' prison of New York, on the body of HARVEY JESSUP, an unfortunate debtor. The Juror., after a careful investigation, repotted " Ilia death to have been occasioned by the visitation of God, under a deep depression of mind and body, hiought on by cruelty of ABLL CLAPP. oil whose account the poor unfortunate deceased had been confined, since the 22d day of October la►t, fur the paltry sum of 47 dollars 32 cents." Humanity shudders at the frets which came out in the investigation, one of which it may not be amiss to mention. viz. the Sheriff, a day or two previous to the death of the deceased, applied to his creditor for permission to remove him to the hospital at Bellevue ; but, shock ing to relate, no permission could be obtained ! Last morning Mr. Sheriff PARKINS entered the Sessions House at the Old Bailey, and took his seat, not in the place to which► he was handed on Wednes day by the Officer of the Court, but ih the opposite one usually occupied by the Senior Sheriff. His Deputy, Mr. JACKSON (the Geutleman nominated by Mr. PARKINS, but objected to by Mr. Alderman ROTHW FAL), took his seat by his side, at the Under- Sheriff's desk. When the other Sheriff's Deputy entered. he took his seat at the same desk with Mr. JACKSON, and between him and Mr. Sheriff PAR mos, which was his usual place. The seats oppo site, for the Under-Sheriff and his Deputy. remain ed empty. A letter from New York, dated August 31, says : " A variety of conjectures are now afloat, as to the tenor of the late dispatches transmitted by our Go vernment, in answer to the receipt of our Minister's recent communication from Madrid. We under• stand, however, that no difficulties occurred in the deliberations of the Cabinet as to the course which remained to be pursued; that it was the opinion of the Executive not to sanction any evasion or fraud that may be attempted to be imposed under the provisions of this Treaty by certain grunters, who clandestinely oppose strong impediments to its ratification; and Who, it is said, have not scrupled to employ the most fraudulent means within their power, by the fabrication of dates and instruments, to get their claims embraced within the period limited. This piece of chicanery it is understood to be the determination of Government to resist; that positive instructions ou this head have been transmitted to our Munster at Madrid; and though the whole amount of these claims is reported nut to exceed 200,000 dollars, and which might be bought up for a much less aura—a mere fraction, nationally speaking—yet such is the straight-forward policy of our Executive, and the tutegiity of its intentions, Oa; even this paltry sum will not be granted to bribe the interests or of the courtiers or favourites. of Ferdinand." ite ItMliti.Nr • \t t i t trait /Ke•a? r • , • mt-,24415 DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The internal decorations of this superb strut• ture having been completed, the house was last night opened for the inspection of the friends of the new Proprietor, who derived great pleasure from the improvements which have been effected in the course of a very few days. The appearance of the house, which, last season, was exceedingly dark rind heavy, is now lively and brilliant. The general alterations made in the theatre are as credit aide to the taste, as they are honnnrsble to the industry of Mr. Ett.tstou and his advisers. The entrance part, the beauty of which has long hero hid by a gaudiness of colouring that destroyed its simplicity, is restored to a perfectly classical and architectural appearance, be a fresco colour, which harmonises with the beauty of its decorations and proportions. The introduction of three splendid or-molts chandeliers has considerably embellished this portion of the building; and the removal of the bronze tripods from the Niche*, and the substitution of white statues, beautifully cast from the marque, have given an appearance to the ro tunda truly classical mod beautiful—pleasing to the eye of the amateur, and gratifying to the contem plation of the artist. The auditory of the theatre has been entirely re-embellished : an antique scroll, surrounded by a fret border, has been placed upon the lower boxes. The general colours are light blue and fresco, and the decorations are in gold relief. A tie► of sixteen handsome chandeliers are ranged round the canopy of the dress circle, and the light of the centre chandelier is reduced, to accord with the general tone of the theatre. The backs of the boxes are rose-coloured pannels, and fresco stile ; and the whole of the colours and decorations are made to harmonize so completely, that they form a rich and magnificent coup without exh:bit ing soy thing su glaring as to offend the sight. The approbation of the company, which was numerous and elegaut, was very strongly ex pressed. In the course of the evening, Mr. BRA HAN sang " God save the King," which was chorussed by the professional gentlemen present, mid was loudly applauded. The new Director of the musical department, Mr. Rum presided at the piano-forte. Amongst the company we ob served, Lord ALVAIILEY, Mr. BERKELEY CRA VEN, Mr. CAn.CRAIT, Alderman WOOD, Sir R. PHILLIPS, Mr. Young, the performer, and Mr. FAWCETT, of Cuveot-garden theatre. In the saloon, tea and coffee were supplied in abundance—and the company separated, after 12 o'clock, delighted with the appearance of Old Drury ?editions, amid highly pleased with the polite atten tion which they had received from Mr. ELLISTON, Mr. WINSTON, and Mr. RUSSELL.

A most barbarous murder was committed lest Toes/lay night, about seven o'clock, at the house of a poor watch man, at East.lese, Upper Clapton, and since that period the inhabitants have bees sight and day on the alert to bring the offender to justice. The unfortunate victim's husband is suspected upon very substentisl grounds. He is a native of that place, and had borne a good character in his youth. He bad been to sea several years, and about four years ago came home, when he renewed an acquaintance with the un fortunate victim of his passion, whom he had, it appeared, been acquainted with when a boy—site, as might be suppos ed, received him with open arms, and a speedy anion wail the resell; but in a short time, when his Moury batmen exhausted, they disagreed, be having so trade, sod being rather proeigately inclined, could mot support her. She applied for parish relief. but wits told she was young, tied able to work ; she afterwards became loose in her man ners, and they separated. The horband went to work with bricklayers, but still he sought after her, and met occasion ally upon friendly terms. Her father gave theta every em. couragentent in his power, but all would not appease them. Tuesday night they were oil together, mid quarrelled in the Hackney Rood. He was heard to say he would warder her. They afterwards went home to her father's, and about seven o'clock in the evening they were heard quarrelling in their room. No person was at home except an old Women, a housekeeper in the family (degasses mother bete/ dead), and a youth, the brother of the &mord, who booed the de ceased exclaim, " Lord help one! Oh, dear!" Two youth was in bed, and in a short time the hoehosidi, 'wham wows is Thomas Homeaby, came into ids room, threatening to murder him if be did not tell whore his father's moral was. The youth, terrified, told him he kept it ilea bee up stairs in his bed-room. The villai■ then weal away, but baring met the old housekeeper, be threatened to cut her throat if she divulged any thing. The boy and the house keeper escaped to a neighbour'a house; they left the candle burning, and when assistance arrived, they found it put out. The deceased was lying epos bee bed. A tremendous blow appeared to have been attack with • hatchet 818 the side of her bead; another wound was fogad on her fore head, which had parted her skull. She *es quite dead. It appeared the raffian returned to murder the other two, but they happily escaped. The parish of Harkary has offered a reward for the ap. prehension of the murderer. FA LS E PASSES. • The guardians of the Poor of Bury St. Eddeends, lag that that many of the itinerant paupers who present thews oelves for relief, prudnee false passes, hate determined to examine them very scrupulously. Two gangs of this de scription recently applied at the same time, •ad produced passes, the one purporting to be from Kent and the other from Truro, but the signature and filling up of both sneaked to be the mine hand•writing. Upoes this detection the parties decamped with all possible speed. Nest day a imams came with font children and • par, in which she was called Frances, widow of John Smith. This, it soon appeared, was false, as only two children were described instead of the four with Ler. She was accurdiogly taken before a Illagis ttttt , accompanied by two other women, when she insisted that the four children were her owls: the children offered to lake the•.r oaths that Frozen Smith was their mother.— • however. was of course not suffered, but the Magis. trate ordered the woman to be committed to prison. The two other women now instantly Claimed a child eac►, saying they had only lest them to Smith that She might the better obtain relief. The pretended Solids thee mainlined that her same was Bridget Kish, wife of Owes Kiag, of the Pith regiment, who kit her at ilytbe, in Kent; that singe, sh► bad been in Ireland, but returned and heed be Loudon-, whence she started on the Sd inmost fur Lyon, when she bad a brother; that near Sudbury s►e met a party of reeve!. ling pamper', all of whom had proeseref poses% sad when she came near Bury, one of the women direceed King ♦ take her pass, and they would lend her Iwo of their Adder, whet she would be sure of relief. This is well kaolin tb ►e • common practice, and Overseen esenstst be the Mulch so their guard against such frauds. A duel took piece yesterday morning at Child's. hill, near Hampstead, between a Gentleman of the name of Paossta, and a Lieutenant SMITH. The parties had been on the most friendly terms until a dispute originated between them relative to a Lady, Mr. Pitbssitz's sister. The parties exchanged shots, when the Lieutenant was grazed on the right side, and the affair was adjusted. Wednesday afternoon a man very genteelly dram: id was sitting at a door in Hackney-road, appa rently in • state of despondency.
