THE GUILD DAY. charity and of liberality that this tempen-is displayed, Mr. Hawkes, it will.long be remembered, entered upon his trust with a becoming sense of its importance arid a determination- to support it, with splendour. Upon all occasions the %am: warmth of heart, the same benevolence, the same energetic and prosier view of the claims of office have characterized his attention to its functions; and in felicitating him upon his retirement from the chair, it is not so much upon retreat from its calls and its fatigues, as upon his duty well performed —upon the " golden opinions from uhl sorts of people' lie has. won, that we beg thus to offer him o ur own an d t h e general congratulations. In the absence of the amusement of the Theatre, Fincif:* Ranelagh Gardens (amongst the lovers of these amusements) became the centre of attraction, and the illuminations were, very brilliant, and a performer engaged from L on d on entertained' the company,which was numerous, with great applause during the whole of the evening.

WILLIAM MELLISH. Shadwell-Dock, Julie 12. 1823. WEST INDIA DOCK COMPANY. 7111MIE COURT of DIRECTORS of the WEST INDIA DOCK COMPANY do hereby give No tice, that a HALF YEARLY GENERAL COURT will be held, pursuant to the Act of Parliament, at the West India Dock House, No. 8, Billitet-square, on TUESDAY, the Bth 'slay of July next, at One o'Clock in the Afternoon, for the purpose of CHOOSING and APPOINTING SIX DlREC rows of the said COMPANY; to succeed those going out in rotation, one of whom must be a M e mber of the C ommo n Council of London, in the roon, of Joseph Welch, Esq. de ceased, at which Meeting a Dividend will be declared for the Half year ending the 3011, instant. By Order of the Court, H. LONGLANDS, Sec. West India Dock House, June 17, 1828. The Chair will be taken at 'lwo o'Clock precisely. A t the last Quarterly Assembly of the Corporation the Al. derm en were unanimously of opinion that It obert liawkes, Esti. the late Mayor, should be requested to sit for his picture to some eminent artist, at the expenCe of the Corporation, to be placed in St. Andrew's Hall, as a mark or the high sense of approbation they entertained of the distinguished - manner in which he had discharged the duties of that office ; but the Com. mons (although unanimously concurring with the Aldermen as to Mr. Ilawkes's meritorious conduct; were apprehensive that if they agreed to the proposal it might become a precedent which would hereafter produce invidious distinctions), did not concur with the Aldermen, but expressed their wish that an individual subscription should be entered into to effect this de. sirable object, and which we understand has been already com. menced. The SPEAKER of the COMMONS addressed the l‘layor, on the termination oe his year of office, nearly as follows : Mr. Mayor—The period is now arrived when you are about to retire from the office of Chief Magistrate of this ancient and populous city, to which you were called by the nearly unaith mous voice of your fellow citizens; and if it be admitted, as think it must, that to pass through that high office without blame is meritorious, how gratifying must it be for you to reflect that you will retire from it with the approbation of all whose good opinion is valuable. To you, Sir, engaged in very extensive commercial establishments, formed by your individual skill and enterprise, the citizens of Norwich are pectiliarly indebted for accepting an office which you were well aware must necessarily require the sacrifice of a large portion of time, the value of which to you is scarcely to be estimated; but, Sir, we have seen you cheerfully make this sacrifice—we have seen you during your Mayoralty most assiduous, not only in the discharge of your magisterial duties, but in the promotion of every under• taking which you conceived would be beneficial to the interests of your fellow citizens—we have seen you liberally diffusing amongst them the wealth your ability and enterprise has ac. quired—and we have seen you supporting the dignity of your office with a splendour and hospitality which have rarely been equalled, never surpassed. Were I, Sir, to enumerate the benefits you have conferred on your fellow citizens during your mayoralty, I might re cord the transactions of every day. Your poorer fellow citi zens, who have witnessed your unremitting attendance at the sword room, the unwearied attention w ith w hi c h you have heard their complaints, and the strict' impartiality with which you have decided on their differences, can best appreciate how well you have justified the confidence reposed in you ; and these unfortunate persons who are committed to pri• son, charged with offences against the laws, may even tually be indebted to you for the shortening of their im. prisonment, for if the prayer of the petition lately pre. :tented to our Gracious Sovereign that two gaol deliveries may be held in this city and county in the year should be granteu, which I am happy to learn is very probable, it may in a great degree be attributed to your zeal and exertion in promoting the object at it. ,Sir, 1 should do you injustice did J not advert to another part of your conduct, which, in my opinion, merits our particular applause—l mean the public spirit you have evinced, and the excellent example you have set in being chiefly instrumental in the beautifying, improving, and new paving one of the streets of our toy I earnestly hope this example will be speedily followed, anti that Norwich may no longer be subject of the opprobrium generally cast upon it by strangers, though perhaps not altogether desermily, that it is die worst paved andliossesses the least spirit of public improvement of any in his Majesty's dondnions. Mr. Mayor, for your exemplary conduct in the discharge of the chases of your office during the past year, the Common Council of this city, deeply impressed with sentiments of esteem and regard, have directed me to present to you their unanimous and hearty thanks ; and, Sir, allow me inditidually to offer you my acknowledgements for the polite attention I have ex. perienced at your hands, and I most cordially wish ytiu a long continuance of health, happiness, and prosperity.

FOR PRESERVING THE TEETH AND GUMS THE VEGETABLE TOOTH-POWDER has so long been in general use, that it is unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Ve getables, without the admixture of any Mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objection against the use of other Dentifrices. Its detersive power is just suf ficient to annihilate those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the Interstices of the Teeth ; healing inju ries in the former, and promoting a new Enamel (where it has been:injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise im parts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums; and, if used regularly, will preserve - the Teeth in a sound state to old age.

Wilaon, T. If there ever was a time when the Magisterial office was held in slight estimation, either from mistaken or perverted principles, that time it tr.ust now be perceived has completely passed away ; and happy is it for the city that it is so. While office is held to be the reward and the prerogative of condition, affluence, or the successful exertion of talent— while it is eagerly sought by the most worthy of our citizens, and conferred as an honourable distinction—and while it is up held with dignity and liberality, so long will' it be regarded with deferential respect, and fulfil the object of its institution, in being the faithful preserver and guardian of peace and order. We may safely resort to the few last "years for the proof of this truth. There was a time when the Magistracy of Norwich was eo lightly considered, that office was evaded if not despised by some of the wealthiest of our citizens. Now we may truly say, it is courted as the highest object to which the most opu lent and the most able can a s pir e . Nor are the effects of this change of opinion confined to the higher classes of inhabitants. koperates over all ranks, and nothing was more apparent nor more gratifying to us in the hospitalities and ceremonies of the Guild Day, than to observe the cheerful spirit that was dif fused among the industrious orders, and the power of enjoy ment they seemed to possess. The population, cleanly in their persons, neat in their apparel, and with the spring and alacrity of a joyful temper, swanned into the streets, and tilled the town with a gaiety that was to our apprehension quite delight ful. In our walks through the city we saw not only the visible proofs of the creative powers of' industry, but the pleasures it can and ought ever to confer, smiling around us • and these pleasures were as decidedly identified and connected with the respect due to the occasion. A. portion and no small portion of this feeling, no doubt, had its origin in the esteem the Mayor personally enjoys. It has been our lot to know this gentleman's character thoroughly froM the period of his boyhood, and we have peculiar satisfac tion in now declaring that a more honourable, manly, inde pendent spirit, does not inhabit the breast of an Englishman. Ask the character of Mr. John Patteson from the highest to the lowest, and our estimate of him will be confirmed to the letter. Descended from a family that has for the best part of a century been held in the most sincere respect, his own frank, plain, and gentlemanly manners, have cemented the good opi nion that was the most enviable portion of his name, and he has made this esteem his own by the sterling value of intrinsic qualities. Were we merely delivering our own private judg ment, we should feel that it might be thought presumntuoua and uncalled for, but upon such an occasion we becoffe the organs of the general voice, and not to pay this tribute of re spect, would seem an admission for.which we should not easily atone to that üblic, who expects from us t h e performance of a duty as grateful to ourselves as to the whole body of the citizens. The quarter of the city where Mr. Patteson resides bore ample testimony to our truth. We never recollect so universal a display of such ornaments as are customary on these occa lions. Triumphal arches were raised in more than one part of Magdalen -street (which were illuminated at night with the Mayor's initials in coloured lamps), while the view of its entire length presented as it were a canopy of decorations, flags, and foliage. At several of the public-houses musicians were play. ing in rustic bowers—booths were erected—the busy hive was abroad—there was every where the sound of mirth, and the whole quarter was one scene of joyous festivity. The inhabitants of Pockthorpe renewed their annual proces sion, and it was with increased interest we found no lack of last year's splendour, but an extended degree of exertion to pay re spect to the worthy and esteemed Magistrate who possesses such a large establishment amongst them. His liberal gift of a fine sheep, which was roasted whole, did not detract from the general zest. In the procession WAR a man upon a gray charger, dressed in imitation of armour.--There were the Blue. coats, Macebearers, and indeed' the whole Court, in regular array. The different housei of entertainment vied with each r , other in their external decorations, and the display of garlands, flap, pictures, and dressed figures, contributed to the gaiety. The Fishermen's (or Quay-side Guild) had their procession also.--Neptune appeared in a state wig and flowing beard, with his trident surmounted by salted 'herrings, and the Mayor was carried by twelve men in his barge, decorated with fl ags , & c . As the Court passed to the 'House of the Mayor in the morning, a it t e in d g them. catastrophe trc these, their humbler brethren, drew u p i n th e mar k et and sa hiOsthire that readn ed the eattienn4dYPr°bnbiremember the hutni iclose of the Mayor's clay last year, when his Worship fell from his barge. After the new .Mayor was sworn, the retiring Aligistrate gave him the perience, and urged upon hi m s th ag at e , a in ds o i rd ee e t r ie to htu t l tv i o lr i a d w a n s f i r n o l m iin e re accident, it would be wise to stint his potations of Patteson's nog. But to our higher task of relating the transactions of the Court. Several Members of the Corporation, attended by their of ficers, partook of an elegant Jejune at the hoitseof the Mayor Elect, in Magdalen-street, a f ter * which they proceeded to the house of the fate Mayor, and from thence to the Guildhall, from which a procession was as mina] formed, with the full ac companiment of regalia and attendance, to the Cathedral Church of this city, where the accustomed ceremonies having been gone through, they were received by the dignitaries of the church, the full organ playing a very solemn voluntary ; the Mayor, the Mayor E lect nine Senior Aldermen, the Learned Recorder, the Steward, th e two sheriffs, three junior Alder.. men, the Chamberlain, Town Clerk, with thirty-two Mem bers of the Common Council, &c. being seated in the choir, the service for the day was performed by the Rev. Francis Ilowes, the choir assisting; after the anthem, " the Festal Morn," had been sung, the sermon was preached by the Rev. W. F. Patteson, Chaplain to the. alect e from 2d Samuel xxiii. ccyor E 3. Ile that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God."—The Rev. Preacher commenced his discourse by stating the fear of God to ete poper and ol foundion of all good government--that b h it was this divine n pr y incipleet which actuated the author of the address from which the text was se. lected, and led him through various subordinate situations from feeding and tendin sheep, to be the leader of God' s people, and conducted him to the throne of Israel —and when seated thereon, enabled hi m to feed them with a faith ful. and true heart, and to rule them prudently with all hi s power, at a period in which h e was the most rich, popul ar , and powerful Prince in his time. After descanting on the ne. cessity of rulers being in all things influenced by this prin c i p l e, he proceeded to amplify the good effects resulting t h eref r om , both to them and their subjects, ioul to demonstrate th at this duty is more impressively recommended hy the New Testa.. meat and the principles of4the Christian religion. That its Divine Author unanimity enforced it bath in hjs doctrine and practice, and strongly impressed on his disciples the necessity of rendering'` unto Cieear the things " that are Ctesar's, and unto God the things that are God's,by working the only . , miracle, which he ever performed on-his own account, t o enable.' him to iischarge the tribute due from himself and his disci.. plea, and to prevent the offence which might justly have been taken at this contempt of' lawful authority, and the example` which others might Lave urged from it. That one of the leading precepts of our Holy religion is, that it s teac h ers should press the necessity of being . subject to princip a li t i es because we l t powers ar e or d a i ned of God, ; and rebellion against them is teaisaance to God himself and fanne 'powers, consci conscience sake,a obeying Magistrates, n o t f or terror but. his most positive commands—which direct tie to submit to every ordinance of' man for his sake, whether to tee King, as supreme, or unto Governorsare sent by I nto f or the punishment of evil doers, anti the prai se o f t h em that do as to them that well. That so inseparably connected are our Oeil and mil_ leuci t e _ by ou nnd pe acea bl e life in all iciples and practi ce , gious duties, that our first intercessions to the Fat per of Mercy are immediately directed to be made for Kings ant i who are h quiet go in t a ll u in tl e io ss ri a ty n , d that imn e w st e y m oh ay us promoting the interest of religion ,and good g o vernment, we may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. The sermon being concluded, the Corporation proceeded to the school porch, where an oration . in Latin w as d el i vered with ' much force by Mr. George Wilhatu Steward, second son of .Mr. Alderman Steward, of this city. • The youthful orator, after apologies for his own deficiencies, paid many handsome and deserved e o mplimente to hi s Rever propriate quotation Totum muneris `c hoe tai est, et quad l e o n w d it a ig nd el L eg e an arn t eadndPicePt"t winch he con c l u d e d with the fol phew, e i placed, tuum est." Of thelate worthy Chief Magistrate he expressed himself in the following cl ass i ca l l a n gua ge, containing a merited eulogium At me •chercule omnibus in rebus, quas gessisti, to filial n oatrieurbis cc n-stouvelimiosuisssi, to Toro potree ac regis eniantissimitin,• satin opines tt oro Aristidern, dond l aicullum vidimus cc cc tV il l a ttct m e tt i n g i i i t i n cen r, tia vii :q uibus semper noinen inclaruit." amplissinie auctoritate, illA gravitate, From the ell-known character of the present el eyor, and of the house from which he ladeticendecl, he augured every thing that could be desired or Impel for in time preservation of the USion to the peace and good order of this city ; and after an all t t honourillustrious which h n a a t m city has in enrolling wlling ir t n o t n o , ng a s n t d its t Royalwo mbers Dukes, he concl u d e d w i t h a so l emn i n j unct i on to the people to es as Nelson, observe the religion of their country, anti the love and rear of Almighty God. On their return from the Cathedral the Corporation pro. ceetled to the Hall in the market, to swear the Mayor Elect into office. The customary ceremonials being terminated, the new Mayor addressed the citizens who filled the court : " Allow me, fellow-citizens," said Mr. Patteson, " to re turn you my sincere thanks for the handsome and flattering manner in which you have chosen me to fill this iinpor tent situation, and b e assure d t h at I s h all endeavour dur. ing my year of office to fulfil its duties in such a man ner, that at the termination of .the year I may possess the same respect as I at this moment have the pleasure of ap pearingto enjoy.—(Applause.)—lt is my ardent hop e t h at my fellow citizens on their part will continue that good conduct for which they are already eminently distinguished. It is tinneces.; sary for me to touch upon the reciprocal duties between the Magistracy and the, people, as, they have been so ably enlarged upon by the Chaplain in his discourse this morning, for which I beg to return him my thanks." The worthy Chief Magistrate concluded by wishing health, happi. ness, and prosperity to a ll aroun d hi m, and to the city in ge neral. An unanimous round of cordial greeting immediately burst from all present, and was hu s h e d on l y to b e several times re peated with still more enthusiasm, still more warmth of feeling. CHARLES SAVILL ONLEY, Esq., the Recorder, then ad dressed the New Mayor. He said— " It was to him a source of inexpressible pleasure to witness the appropriate ceremonies of this day, not because they ap peared to diffuse an univers oy and festivity i n w hi c h every one not entirely divested of eery social feeling would not fail to participate, but because • it strengthened that veneration which ought invariably to be paid to the authorities of the realm —it excited that respect which the civil Magistracy ought to receive—it added to the importance the official dignity assumed, which the Mayor was this day called upon to support, and whose duties by the oath he had just taken hb was solemnly sworn to perform. That you, Sir, (said Mr. Onley) have been placed in this elevated situation by the free choice of your fellow citizens andby the unanimous approbation of your brother Magistrates, cannot fail to excite the most gratifying sensations, and I wish you, Sir to believe, that the offering to the son of my oldest and warmist friend the same congratulations I had the pleasure of' tendering to his worthy father, doubly enhances the pleasurable feelings I now entertain. Educated, Sir, as you have been, and long accustomed to observe the duties of this office, it is needless for me to explain the grounds of their in., stitution, or to offer you any instruction, You are well aware, Sir, that although your local jurisdiction appears inclosed in a narrow compass, yet when the great increase pf the population, and the circumstances which must necssarily arise . from such an immense congregated mass of persons, the difficultiei and duties of the station are much enlarged. To preserve the peace of the city inviolate—to regulate and superintend the police —to prevent the increase and the commission of crime—to detect and punish it—to distribute impartial and even-handed justice to all resorting to your authority for assistance—to hear with patience and to determine with deliberat e caut i on — to act with firmeness, deci s i on , anti coolness are the qualifications ne cessary to the proper fulfilment of your official duties ; and I am sure all will concur with me, that to yotir ability, your incline tions, your known rectitude and high honour, these functions may with safety be confided. Independent o f t h ese d ut i es you are well acquainted that by several charters granted to this city, it possesses franchises and immunities which were intended fur the common rood, and bestowed for the benefit of the citizens at large. It is a part of your duty, Sir, to preserve these invio late, and to deliver them in the same state to your successor as you now receive them. More I could say, Sir, but 1 have been so ably anticipated in my remarks by the excellent discourse of your chaplain, which we have this morning heard with so much pleasure, that to attempt any elucidation of its doctrine would only enfeeble its force. All 1 shall say is, that your fellow citizens, through me, wish you health, happiness, and every possible enjoyment; and that you may retire, at the termina tion of your duties, with the thanks of the public for your ser vices.—(Applause and cheers.)—Mr. Onley then turning to the Deputy Mayor continued nearly as follows Mr. Deputy Mayor—You are now about to retire (min an office you have held for the customary period, with honour to yourself and satisfaction to those who placed you in that dig nified situation—a satisfaction which lam thus publicly called on to declare. I remember on the day when you were inati. gurated, you declared that you would distribute impartial jus tice to all, neither looking to the ri g h t nor to t h e l e f t . I un dertake, S'ir, to say, that you have f u lfill e d that promise with great ability, zea l, and perseverance; and there are the best founded hopes, that by the mean s y ou h ave ta k en , one object for which you have exerted yourself will be finally accomplish -ed, I mean two jail deliveries for this elty.—(Cheers.)-1 can. net, conclude, Sir, however, without expressing to you the acknowledgments of your fellow c i t i zens for the li beral conduct you have displayed during the period of your Magistracy —the urbanity you have shewn to all who re sorted to you for advice, and the sumptuous hospitality with which you have carried through the dignity of Chief Magis trate, hilly deserving the compliment paid you by the youthful orator, who said that you deserved the appellation of Aristidei in court and of Lucultuti et the table. You are now, Sir, going to enjoy the pleasures of retirement, which will be increased by the knowledge that you possess the esteem of the public and the thanks of your fellow citizens. The new officers of the Court having received the insignia of their situations, the Court adjourned to St. Andrew's Hall. The banquet at the Ball was not less elegant than substrin, tied. The party consisted of something more than tioo Ladies arid Gentlemen of Norfolk and Norwich. It is certainly a splendid sight, whether th e s um pt uous h osp i ta li ty displayed, the beautifid forms that are seen " in gliding state to win their easy way" alon g t h e a i s l es o f t hi s magnificent gothic buildin g during the hours the company is assembling, or the order that reigns amidst these festivities, be the objects of regard. Often as we have witnessed this imposing spectacle, we were never more struck with the judicious dispositions made than on this occasion. The preparations were in every point excellent and adequate, and every thing was promptly and roperly suppli e d. One of the prin c ip a l c i rcumstances that struck us was the pre sence of the numerous country Gentlemen—a strong proof of the extent of the Mayor's private friendships: Instead of one,' nearly three tables were filled with county families, and, to adopt a common phrase, we never recollect a more genteel or select Ball. - The dessert being set upon the table, the following toasts were given by the Mayor,—the bellinan officiating as usual, who scents by his sonorous voioe to be the legitimate heir to the office so long held by his ustly celebrated futh er , NaTilAsura. ESTA.I/Gll, the best of all possible bellm e n, an d a very honest man King—The Royal Family—The Duke of York and the Army—The' Duke of Clarence . and the Nary—The _High Sheriff' of the County—The Mayor, (by the High Sheriff ) The Lieutenant of the County—The Deputy Mayor, (by Col. Wodehouse)—The Bishop and. Clergy of the Diocese—The Itlembers for the County—Prosperity to the City of Norwich (by Edmond Wodehouse, Esq.)-.-The Members for the City— The Mayoress, (by the Deputy Mayor } _ The Mayor of I mouth—The Ladies in St. Andrew's ,Hall. The High Sheriff, the Lieutenant of the County, the County Member, Mr. EDAIOND WonEnotrsE, and one of the Vat, : mouth Court, severally returned thanks- and it Was impossible not to observe the marked, we may almost say the aftctionate, acclamations which followed the health of the Mayor of Nor wich. and the address of 31r. E. Wodehouse. About half-past eight the last toast gave the signal for the breaking up of the company, the principal part of which about ten assembled at Chapel-field House, where the ball was opened by the Mayor and Mrs. T. Steward, who appeared as a bride. It would have been difficult, had etiquette left him at liberty, to have selected a more lovely partner. Quadrilles were soon called and continued till near two o'clock, when the festivities of the day concluded. The dresses were 'very elegant, anti there were more diamonds than we ever remember to have seen. The Lady of the Lieutenant of the Coun the lion. Mrs.. Nirodehouse, wor e a s pl en did tiara—but flowers were tha pre vailing ornament. There were certainly a great many " lovely Ladies" present, but no one articularly eminent_no one so " absolute a s to b e voted the Queen of Love and Beauty." We cannot dismiss this subject without testifying to the respect which the c ity universally pap; the late Mayor for his conduct in office. The • Chief Magistate of Norwich for the time being has not only the opportunity of manifest ing him judgment, his temper, ritui his devotion to the ge neral business, but there are , numberless °mishit's . ' when 'his public spirit anti hie generosity are called into netion, and when the disposition of the man' shines thrimigh the duties of the office. It is not only in upholding the customary dignities and hospitalities, but in a variety of gratuitous acts of LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 21. CGOPFIELD V. CUAPPLE. This waian action of covenant on an indenture of apprentice. ship, by the father-in-law of the apprentice, against hits master for neglecting to supply him with necessary food 'and meal. eines during that term. The defendant was a hoot-maker in Covent-garden; the lad had served with him six years of his time, but in the seventh met with a strain as he was at tempting to clean a window, which brought on a severe and dangerous illness. His master having no - accomadation for him in his own house, took him to that of the plaintiff, where 'he lingered four months and then died. During thiS time, his father-in-law incurred an expellee of 171. for surgical attendance and medicines, and also paid other sums to nurses, which he now sought to recover *um the miser. (.IrirTy, for the defendant contended, that he was not liable in this form of action, because there had been no refusal to provide necessaries, but only a humane acquiesconee in the apprentices remaining tinder the care of his relatives. lie also urged that the charges fhr medicines were exorbitant, and that the whole could never have been taken. The Loup CritEr JuwercE was clearlyl:l opinion, that though there was no'wilful or criminal refusal to provide 'for the apprentice, yet that the con s i gnment o f hi m to the care of the plaintiff, because the defendant could not accommod tte hint in lus own house, vim such neglect to perfo rm the covenant as would sustain th e action. • The question of damageS was en. tirely for the Jury, who would give a uuxlerate compensation, which was all the plaintiff' seemed to desire.--The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 42/. • YOUNG v.
