" for many, years.—Make choice of him who most resembles youl our children and the children affer them will love and - respekthim. Be assured of our attach ment, which ib without bounds, and immeasurable ! !" The Paris Papers received yesterday, contain the following horrid instance of depravity : An English Lady about fifty years of age, who lately left Eng land to join her husband and family at Naples,-when she arrived at Valence, hired .one of those public - carriages called relais, and set out on the 31st Of August; at one o'clock in the morning; to proceed to Nlarseilles. Scarcely' had she travelled half -a league, when the postillion, who is supposed w have been drunk, began to take indecent liberties with his passenger. The Lady, who did not understand .FTench, feeling his hand about her pockets, suppos ed at first that he intended to rob her, but she was soon undeceived. Convinced of her mistake, she attempted to open the door and jump our, but the driver seized her in a furious manner, twisted her hands behind her back, and laying hold of h er . . • hair, squeezed her throat . as if he had intended to strangle her. The Lady, half dead with terror, and the brutal treatment she experienced, could not prevent his accomplishing his infernal purpose. The unfortunate victim arrived at Donzere in the most pitibus state, and having accidentally met with an Interpreter, a complaint against the offender, writ.. ten in French, was transmitted to, the Constituted Authorities, who immediately. took every proper measure to cause the w be arrested. Some wicked incendiary one night last week put lighted tar ropes into a boat, 'cotton' laden, on his Grace of Bridg,ewater's Canal, under the ware house at the lower end of Castle Field, near chester : Providen'tially 'the boatman was sleeping in the cabin of the boat, and the smell of the bu'i-n4 ing cotton awaking.him, he instantly removed the boat frcim under the .warehouse, anal extinguishetL the fire, otherwise the consequence might have been dreadful. The late fire at the Russelr-square Assembly kdorn, is liolvSaid to have been caused by an in tendiary, • • . FipT. ELECTION OH LORD MAYOR AFTER hearing Divine Service, and an excellent SerinOn preached in Sr. Lawrence's Chilreli, by the Lord Alayiir'S Chaplain (the Rev. Mr. Hui 6111146), the Loa') Wl,s_yoß, Sheriffs and Aldermen proceed ed to,Guildhall, to open a Livery Hall fur the elec tion of a Lord Mayor. After the Hall had been opened. in the usual form, the RECORDER addressed the Livery tattle follow ing effat— Gentlemen, it is my duty to inform you that you are-now stt..unoned in pursuance of a precept, in order to exercise one of your Most essential pri vileges, in the elefaiom of a Chief Magistrate of this area t . CitY, fOr the ensuing, year., After the excellent Discourse pronounced so lately , on. the subjeft (by the Chaplain) it becomes unnecessary for me to occupy your time, by expatiating on the duties and nature of that high Office. You must all be sensible pf how much importance it is to have •a person in that station , capable of supporting its dig nity,' and disposed, as well as capable, of asserting 'at all times, the Rights and Privileges of his Fellow citizens. It is also of extreme importance to this great Commercial City to have a Pt lice at once upright, firm, and affi ve ; and it is there-• fore the more necessary to have at the head of it, a Chief' lylagi , ,trate pOssessed of the indi,pensible qualities of vigilance, integrity, firmness, and adj.. • vity. By the La.ws and'ConstitutiOn of the City of London, yOui choice in this instance is some. what circumscribed, but- I hay'e the satisfadion, while.l state, this, of observing to you also, that you need not look far to chuse a Magistrate with every te.luisite to sustain the duties of the' Office with all dignity, 'tnd' of maintaining unimpaired yotir - Rights and Privileges'." • 'The LORD MAYOR and Aldermen then retired, and the . Ctimmotsr SERJEANT read over the names of such Aldermen as had served the office of Sheriff, out of which, he said,. they, were to chute • two to - be returned to the Court of Aldermen, .who should . elett the person whom they thought best qualified for the office. The Town Cryer then repeated the names.— On mentioning that of JOHN M'KENZIE MACAU_ LEY, Esq. (who, was the oldest on the list) there appeared but a • very slight shew of hands.—For CHARLES PRICE, Esq. it was very general, and the next greatest shew was for JOHN PERKING, Esq., upon which the COMMON SERJEANT declared it to be the opinion of the Sheriffs, that their choice had fallen on Aldermen PRICE and PERKING, who were accordingly returned to the Lotto MAYOR and Aldermen: These retnrne4, after about half an hour spent in making their arrangements, when The RECORDER again advanced—" Gentlemen, it is my duty to inform you, that after your return was presented to the LoRD MAYOR and Aldermen, they proceeded, according to ancient custom, to a Scrutiny, the result of which was, that their choice fell upon CHARLES PRICE, Esq. Alderman and Ironmonger, and I therefore now declare him eletled 'to serve the office of Lord Mayor .of the Oity of London for the ensuing year." This declaration ,was followed by very general plaudits, and Alderman PRICE was immediately invested with the Chain, and other Insignia of Of fice. The LORD MATOR Elea then addressed them,— " Gentlemen, this mark of such high aistindion conferred on me, by 'you and my Brother Magi strates, cannot fail of callingforth:tny utmost grati tude, and binding me for ever, if possible, more firmly to your interests. For -your satisfaction,, I now declare, that however arduous, inconvenient, or important, I am determined to exercise this high and honourable office to the best'of my ability,' best_suited to the dignity of Chief Magistrate of the first City in the Universe, and with an anxious care for the preservation and maintenance of the Rights and Privileges of my, fellow Citizens. I never considered an office of this kind to be conferred for private gratification, or to forward the ambitious views of any individual, but to he exercised for the benefit of those who have reposed that great trust in us. What I have most to lament is the want of those talents which have distinguished so many of. My predecessors ; but confiding in the benefit I shall derive from their example, and the assistance of my brother Magistrates ; confiding in the good advice and counsel I shall receive from the wisdom and learning of those Law Officers who have so long merited your esteem, and, • most of all, confiding in the zeal, •.attachment, 'and friendship of you, my fellow. Citizens, which have followed me through the whole course of my, life, I am not without the pleasing .expeaation of ‘a cqUitting myself in such a manner as , must become the first Magistrate of the first City in the World." Mr. ThoarE, after a short eulogium, delivered in so low a tone of voice as to render it inaudible, proposed Thanks to the late Sheriffs of the City of London and'of the County of Middlesex, for their meritorious Services (Fide tie Adrvertisement), and that the Resolutions be signed by the Town Clerk, and published in the Morning and Evening Papers, which was carried unanimously. Sir WM. RAWLINS (one of the late Sheriffs), next addressed the Livery—" Gentlemen, the testimony of your approbation,' just now given to the official condua of myself, and my worthy Colleague, must, naturally inspire us with the most lively and lasting . gratitude. •W e claim-no merit for having done our duty ; and in return for the honour you have been pleased to bestow on us, we shall be. found, on all occasions, ready to exert ourselves in any manner which may be likely to produce benefit to our fellow Citizens. It was the intention of my worthy Col_. league, a few:days ago, : to have Paid his personal, respeas to you, and to have attended at this Hall; but he has been unfortunately prevented from doing so by the recent death of his father, which renders his. presence necessary in the Country. • Be assured, Gentlemen, ,that nothing was omitted,.on our parts, in attending:to the situation of the Prisoners con fided.to our care, and that they have been treated with -all the liberality that circumstances would mit of, Ave the pleasure further to inform you, that during the time they were under our care, there has .. • Iken s nor 'epidemical distcM per. in of the . /Prisons in this - Metropolis.
