This morning, according to civic custom, the bells of the different churches in the City rang merry peals, it being what is termed Lord Mayor's Day. The new Loan MaYou was met at the Mansion-house by the Sheriffs, Aldermen Brown and King, Sir James Shaw, Sir John Per ring, Sir Charles Flower, Maguey, C. Smith, Thompson, &c., when they partook of a cold collation ; after which they proceeded in grand procession from Guildhall, through Cheapside, round the south side of St. Paul's Cathedral, down Ludgate-bill, New Bridge-street, to Blackfriars-bridge, where the barge of the Gold. smiths' Company was first moored to the stairs, decorated and gilded in the most profuse and splendid style. Ilis Lordship, accompanied by the late Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and some of time Aldermen, went on board. The other City barges were then placed in position, and the Civic Authorities having embarked, the splendid spec tacle moved up the Thames to Whitehall Stairs. The river was covered with boats and cutters, and, from the fineness of the day, the scene was imposing in the extreme. At Whitehall Stairs the procession was formed, and amid the dis charge of cannon, the flourish of trumpets, and the acclamation of the populace, his Lordship landed, and proceeded with the usual state to the Court of Exchequer, where the Learned Barons of that Court, in full robes, received him, and the usual Corms and ceremonies •of counting the nails, cutting the sticks, signing the rolls and deeds, being gone through, after the usual addresses and congratulutioas, his Lord ship proceeded to the other Courts, and invited the Judges to the Grand Civic Banquet; after which the authorities returned by water to the place of starting, whence the city cortege of ca valry, men in armour, and the different com panies formed in procession, and with bands of music, proceeded in state to the Mansiou-house . Tl►e streets were crowded to excess. SWEARING IN THE NEW LORD MAYOR. Yesterday the Mayoralty of Mr. Alderman WAITIMAN expired. In the morning he presided in the Justice-room as usual. After he had dispatched the business of the day, he ad dressed Mr. Hoblcr, the Chief Clerk, and publicly returned thanks to that Gentleman for the able and diligent- manner in which he had assisted him in all the multifarious business of the Justice-room. His Lordship said further, that his thanks were due also to the Marshals • and he must state, that he had found every officer attentive to his duty, and the Police in ge neral well disciplined and effective. '1 hough time might, per haps, suggest some beneficial alterations, yet he was persuaded that the establishment, conducted as a salutary preventive sys tem, was, on the whole, the best in the Metropolis. At one o'clock, the Lord Mayor gave a grand breakfast to the Framework-knitters' Company, of which he is a member ' as well as to the Goldsmiths' Company, to which the new Lord Mayor belongs. The city officers, and several of the Alder men, attended. At two o'clock, a Court of Aldermen was held. Mr. Alderman Garratt was led to the Court by his Committee and a great number of friends. The civic chair. was placed in the centre of a platform in the Hall, where seats covered with crimson cloth were arranged for the accommodation of the civic body and a great number of Ladies, who attended to witness the ceremony. At half-past two o'clock, the Goldsmiths' and Framework-knitters' Company came on the platform in their furred gowns. The City Law Officers, the. Lord Mayor's Household, the Sheriff's and the Under Sheriff's followed. The Lord Mayor took his seat for the last time. On his right sat the Lord Mayor elect. Aldermen Sir James Shaw; Sir John Perring, Venables, Thompson, Crowdg, and Magnay, attend ed to greet the new Lord Mayor. The oaths were administered by Mr. H. IVoodthorpe, jun.; after which Mr. Alderman *aithman quitted the chair, and the new Lord Mayor was in stalled amidst the applause of the assembled crowd, and the congratulations of his friends, who severally shook hands with him. He was then presented with the city mace, and the Chain berlain gave him the city` seal and purse. The Sword-bearer invested - him with the city sword, which was returned to that officer. After the ceremony was concluded, the Lord Mayor, acorn panted by hlr. Alderman Waithman, the Sheriffs and the of ficers of the Corporation, returned to the Mansion-house, and partook of a grand dinner. Before Mr. Alderman Waithman gave up what is called the possession of the house, the Sword-bearer waited upon hint, and presented him with a vote of thanks from the Officers of the Household, for his gentlemanly and benevolent conduct during the year, and for the liberal manner in which he had maintained the hospitalities of the house, in which there had always been an abundance worthy of the best times. Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN, in returning thanks, observed, that when he took upon himself the duties of the office, he was sufficiently aware of their importance, but he was by do means aware of their extent or their fatiguing nature. (treat as he found them, he had, however, overcome them all ; and it was peculiarly gratifying to him that he had not one occasion to find fault with any person about him. Ile assured his friends that he now resigned the duties of the office in better health and spirits than when lie entered upon them : he resigned them into worthy hands, and he hoped die possessor would be able to go through them in every respect as pleasantly as he had done.—Uonviviality was kept up until a very late hour. THE FINE Awrs.—Mr. NEWTON, Mr. LESLIE, and Mr Edward Landseer, have lately retured from a visit to Scotland, which was undertaken chiefly for purj)oses connect ed with their professio n . Each of these gentlemen resided for a short time at Sir Walter Scott's; and each has brought away a portrait of his host. The three portraits differ in some respects from each other, but they are u ll cons id ere d very like the original. There is nothing of an elevated charac ter about the head of Sir Walter ; the predominant cx ression is shrewdness—we had almost said cunnin g . i n Mr. Leslie's picture, Scott is re )resented sitting in a c h a i r, holding in his right hand a stick, which, on account of his lameness, is his inseparable companion. The hair and the marks of approaching baldness are well depicted. Mr. Leslie has reverted to the practice which once generally prevailed, painting the arms of th e s it ter i n a cor n e r of the picture : — The colours of the arms in the present instance are very liner, and the object does not appear amiss. The motto is" «at it weel." Messrs. Newton and Luadseer have painted Sir Walter in his Library. The dress is the same in all the pictures-- namely, a green coat, yallow.waisteoat, light trowsers, and a black neck-cloth. Messrs. Newton and Landseer have added a leathern belt, attached to which Sir Walter carries a hammer and a small hatchet, which he uses very fresnently in pruning the trees on his estate—an occupation of which he is very fond. M. Landseer, who is known to the public only as a painter of animals, has proved by this effort that his talents arc not limited to that branch of art in which he has rendered himself eminent. Although the portrait was. made in a very short time, and under some disadvantages, the . likeness is considered ex cellent.—Mr. Newton's picture, which we should have befo re stated to be a very clever production, is to be immediately en graved. Mr. Leslie's portrait is destined for a gentleman in America, for whom it was expressly painted. On Saturday evening last, as a carpenter, of the name of Coote, was going home from Sud- bury to Bulmer, he was attacked by six footpads in a secluded part of the road, and robbed of shop goods which he had been purchasing, to the amount of 50s. and 10s. in silver, which he had in his pocket. He made a bold resistance, and threw one of the men to the ground. During this time another of the gang came up, and pulled Coote from the fallen robber. This good turn was, however, ill repaid; for the man, mistaking his companion for Coote, attacked him with a knife, and wounded him, as Coote (who by this interference escaped) heard a voice ex claim, " You are cutting the wrong man !" Coote is able to identify nearly the whole party. Warrants are issued for their apprehension.-- - (County Chronicle.) THE KIND. Wlslngoa, Nov. B.—We regret to state that the KING was, at the latter end of last week, seized with a slight fit of rheumatic gout, which has prevented his Majesty ever since from leaving the Royal Lodge. His Majesty's indisposition, however, is fortunately not so severe as to, confine him to his apartments; and a strong hope may be indulged, we under stand, that a few days will restore him to his accustomed good state of health. But it is not expected that his Majesty will take his departure for London during the present week. PRINCESS Auo u STA.—The birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta was celebrated this day withevery demon stration of rejoicing. The morning was welcomed by the ringing of the castle and parish-church bells, which continued, with scarcely any intermission, the whole day. At one o'clock, a royal salute was fired in the Bachelor's Acre ; a public dinner took place at the Hope Inn, which was attended by nearly the whole of her Royal Highness's tradesmen, together with the most respectable part of the inhabitants. The health of her Royal Highness was drank with continued cheer ing, with many other loyal and appropriate toasts. The com pany did not separate until a late hour, highly delighted with the conviviality of the evening. The Public Ball at the Town hall was graced by the presence of tote Nobility and Gentry of Windsor and its fashionable neighbourhood, and a bril liant illumination added its splendours to the passing scene. The Royal Lodge is now rendered one of the most splen did retreats that could possibly be desired. 'rite grounds have been laid out in the most tasteful manner, and are adorned with alcoves, temples, &c., which are erected in the most ap propriate situations. A chapel was the only building required to render the Lodge complete, and Ibis desideratum has been ably supplied, from a design by Jeffrey Wyatville, Esq. It is a small edifice, erected upon a model of the pure Gothic, and is fitted up in a most commodious man ner. On the north side of the altar is the Royal Pew, which is a square apartment, ornamented with crimson hang ings. Over the altar is a large window of stained glass, di. vided into two compartments; the upper representing St. Je rome in the act of casting out a devil from an afflicted person, and the lower one depicting the same Saint conferring the rank of Bishop on one of his most distinguished converts. This window is one of the earliest and best preserved speci mens of stained glass in the country ; the colouring retains its original brilliancy ; and the costume of the principal figures is at once curious and imposing. The hotly of the building is fitted up with seats for the accommodation of the Royal House hold, awl over the western entrance a convenient gallery is erected, rendering lt, in every respect, one of the most corn motlious structures of the kind that has ever fallen under our notice. ~..., .r.,...r. . 1 1fr,; , c..,,.44.:„.,.. :,.. ~: 4 „.,, _,,t , ve..„l. , "... il , t.r , .. so.- ,• .

POETRY. A MOTHER TO HER FIRST-BORN. 'Tis sweet to watch thee in thy sleep, When thou, my boy, art dreaming ; 'Tis sweet o'er thee a watch to keep, To tnark the smile that seems to creep O'er thee, like day-light gleaming. 'Tis sweet to mark thy tranquil breast Heave, like a small wave flowing ; To see thee take thy gentle rest, With nothing, save fatigue, oppres'd, And health on thy cheek glowing. To mark thee now, or when awake, Sad thoughts, alas ! steal o'er me I For thou, in time, a part must take, That may thy fortunes mar or make, In the wide world before thee. But I, my child, have hopes of thee, And may they ne'er be blighted ! That 1, years hence, may live to see Thy name as dear as all to me— Thy virtue well requited. " I'll watch thy dawn of joys, and mould Thy little mind to duty ; I'll tench thee words, as I behold Thy faculties, like flowers, unfold In intellectual beauty. And then, perhaps, when I am dead, And friends around me weeping. Thou'lt see me to my grave, and shed A tear upon my narrow bed , Where I shall then be sleeping.

NE WM A RKET—(Sti ImeT NIGHT.) Having given an account of the week's races, we cannot help observing, that upon the whole it has been a good one; and each day's sport has been in some degree better than the pre ceding ones, and the weather has been more favourable as the Meeting approached its conclusion. The principal race for the week, and on which more money was depending than any other, was that between Centaur and Sultan. These two, be yond a doubt the best four mile horses of the present day, had to combat that distance, when Centaur won s • he is now turned off', and is not to run any more; he was got by Canopus, dam by Orville, grandam the dam of &lint, Rubens, &c. by Alex der, Ilighflyer, Alfred, Engineer, out of the dam of Ray Mel ton. In the years 1821, 22, 23, and 24, he has run 33 times, and has won 24 ; he has finished, perfectly sound and without blemish, by beating Sultan. Sultan, we are happy to say, is also to be turned oft' for stock, after having won a great num ber of races. The same perspicuity was observable as on former occasions in the Judge, Clerk of the Course, and Ma nager of the Scales, and the members of the Jockey Club ex pressed themselves highly pleased with the excellent arrange ment of the dinners at the rooms.

O.:— " The Logan rock is replaced, and rocks as before: it was put up on Tuesday last, after three days' labour, by the help of three pair of large sheers, Aix capstans, worked by eight men each, and a variety of pulleys. Large chain cables were fastened round the rock, and attached to the blocks by which it was lifted. Altogether there were about 60 men employed. The weight of the rock has been variously computed, by different persons, at from seventy to ninety tons. On the first day, when the rock was first swung in the air, In the presence of about two thou sand persons, much anxiety was felt, by those who were present, as to the success of the undertaking. The ropes were much stretched ; the pulleys, the slicers, and the cap stans, all screeched and groaned ; and the noise of the machi nery was audible at some distance. Many sere very appre hensive lest so vast a weight might snap all the ropes, and tumble over the precipice, bearing the sheers and scailbldings away with it; however, t he whole has gone off with great RUC. cess. The materials (which were all furnished gratis from the dock-yard at Plymouth) were excellent, and ingeniously managed ; and, though a rope or two broke, and a link of one of the chains tore away a small piece of an angle of the rock, which was thrown with much velocity into the sea l yet the rock was safely supported by its complicated tackling, and stands, once more, in precisely its former position! Lieu tenant Goldsmith, who threw it down, was the engineer in re placing it; and in the opinion of many of the gentlemen of this town and neighbourhood, he has, by his skill and personal la bour and attention, not only wiped away the disgrace to which he was exposed by throwing it down, but also acquired so much merit, that they are about to invite him to a public dinner at Pearce's Hotel. This seems to be going a little too far ; since whatever credit he may have derived by replacing the rock, counterbalanced fully lin,le rsto hat p l e t n l e i dx e sp d eh i s na c cv r e e es d ob i f t ; et o nh f i its wi v wanton e demolition. i o s to n)! the efraentdi London n y (slueobslco,griiicanilons.ocike'tiyft.4 Seizures of smuggled whisky, in Carlisle and its neighbourhood, have lately become matters of such every. day occurrence, as to excite but little attention. We have some times, however, been led to notice the ingenuity or dexterity made use of by some of the smugglers for the purpose of evad ing the vigilance of the excisemen. The following incident occurred one day last week, in the vicinity of Rocklac, which, for dexterity and good management, will perhaps bear com parison with any we have yet placed on record. A smuggler, returning from the North, laden with the dew of the mountain, which he carried in bladders, an d accompanied by his faithful dog, was pursuing an unfrequent e d p a th a l ong t h e b an k s o f the Eden, leading towards this city, when the enemy, who had been on the look out, suddenly made his appearance at a short distance. To save his whisky by flight was impossible; he therefore tied the bladders fast round the neck of the dog,. and sent him into the river. The c a nin e cu lp r i t j us t en tered the stream in time to evade the rage of his pursuer; he ford ed the river in safety, and faithfully deposited the cargo on the opposite bank, where it was received by a " trusty brother of the trade," who had been waiting for the purpose. During the time the Clog was crossing the river, the smuggler him se l f made his escape, leaving the exc i se m e n fairly " (Carlisle Patriot.) On Thursday last, a little befor e noon, five i men employed on the works carrying on for the improvement of the navigation of our river, who had been to Hotline] to take their accustomed refreshment during the flow of the tide, on their return to the water's edge, attempted to cross the river be tween the Sound Shallow and Asham, in a small flat-bottomed boat, which about the centre of the river sunk with them, and consigned them to a watery grave, the whole live having un happily perished, in sight of several of their fellow gang's men on the opposite shore, who could afford them no assist ftUCC, and who, guided by prudence, had previously and safely crossed in the said boat, two at a time. The boat, about ten minutes after it sunk, rose again, as to exhibit one of the fated men, about half his height above the surface of the water, and what is very extraordinary, standing perfectly erect, but he again disappeared before any means could be taken to rescue him. The bodies were soon after dragged for, and on being found, were placed in a row on the bank of the river, and pre sented a very melancholy spectacle. They were next removed to at neighbouring barn, where the bodies were viewed by the Coroner's inquest, who returned their verdict—Accidental death by drowning. THE THEATRE. DRUILT•LANE.—The once popular Play of Pizarro was repeated last night, and followed by the ballet of Cinderella, a piece that naturally revives juvenile recollections, and must conse quently be amusing at any period of life. The pupils of Mr. IfuLLIN exerted themselves with great correctness, spirit, and grace, and the au dience warmly testified their approbation. The Enchanted Courser concluded the entertainment,- but it was announced that it was to take its/light from the Theatre to-morrow night. A new Piece it, it seems, preparing► at Drury• Lane Theatre, taken from Mr. Moo►te's admired Poem of ',ALLA Rootut. The work certainty atrords ample scope for the most splendid scenery, and many of its incidental narratives are calculated to excite strong interest and sym pathy. MERCANTILE. SHIPPING. DEAL, Nov.

This an much talked of vessel has at length arrived in the River. She was towed up yesterdar morning from Graves end by the James Watt, Tourist, and Soho, steam-boats, and at two o'clock in the afternoon was moored alongside the East India hulk off lllackwall. Like many other wonders of which so much has been said while at a distance, the Columbus lost* much of her marvellous character on a nearer approach.— Those who visit her in the expectation of seeing a stupen doss structure, "to which one of our seventy-tours would appear as a cock-boat," will find themselvei seriously dis appointed. They who expect to see the largest ship in the world, will naturally picture to themselves a vessel, ter which the bulk of one of our first-rates would be comm... ratively small, but in this also they will be deceived. The ao lumbus is unquestionably the longest ship ever seen in England, but her appearance In every other respect In far inferior to that of one of our large indiamen : her construction is quite new for a• very large vessel ; she is flat-bottomed, and her bottom two fest wider than her deck ; her planks and timbers throughout are on a scale of thickness proportioned to her great length, anti fas tened together with a strength approaching nearly to that of a solid mass. It is not true, as was stated in some accounts of her, that her cargo (red and white pine) was fastened into her timbers in the building. It is stowed away in the same man ner as on hoard other ships timber-laden. Neither is it a fact that she is to he broken up as soon as her cargo is dis charged; at least that is not the present intention of her proprietors. In her masts, spars, and rigging, the Co/umbra presents an appearance not at all proportioned to her rate of tonnage; they are not larger than those used in a small frigate. On inquiry we learned that she sailed much better than was ex:: pected—tacked and wore extremely well,( which is very rare with liatbottomed vessels), and made but very little lee-way. In the course of her passage to Europe, she encountered very rough weather, and shipped seas so frequently, that the crew on deck could seldom keep themselves dry. The greatest danger to which she was exposed was from this circumstance ; and, in anticipation of it, and of the clr.nce of her becoming water. logged, her round-house (under which were stowed her water and provisions) was made water-tight. About a month before her arrival on this coast, she sprang a leak, and made a foot of water per hour, and it required the constant exer. tions of the whole crew to keep her free. Nevertheless, on her arrival in the Downs she hail eleven feet of writer in her hold. The crowds of persons who went to see her yesterday were very great. Some contented themselves with a view of her from the shore: those who chose to pay the high price of the boatmen got a nearer view, anti they who were contest to pay two shillings additional were allowed to go nn bawd. (This last demand, it is but justice to the officers on board, was, we believe, without their knowledge; or if they were aWau of it, it must have been demanded with the view of preventing the vessel from becoming inconveniently crowded, which it would he i fall who sought admission were allowed on on hoard.; The account which already appeared in this paper of the ties and tonnage of the Columbus was correct.—She is 300 feet ha length, b 0 feet 6 inches wide, and 30 feet deep in the hold 4 re gisters 3,900 tons, and has on board 6,300 tons of timber.-- Another vessel, belonging to the same proprietors, who, as well as the builder, are Englishmen, is now on the stocks at Quebst„ which will be of the same length, but ten feet wider, and five feet deeper in the hold.--.( Timer) The owners of this stupendous Vessel have kindly supplie' the Proprietors of the Public Journals and their friends with orders for admission to view its vast dimensions. It will be stationed at Black wall, and it is probable that the number of visitors will be highly beneficial to all the public-houses in tint vicinity. DOW.STREET—(Tne DAY.) BRUTAL ASS A U LT.— a r illia/71 Osborne, n tiPS. perste looking fellow WAN charged by Mary Martin, a young woman of decent appearance, with a most foul and desperate assault. She was so much affected that she coul d Sca r cely speak. It appeared she was walking through New-street, Co vent-garden,. when the fellow without any provocation., but resenting an indelicate insult, beat her cruelly. Ile was ordered to find bail. SALFORD SEIISIOWO.—.Noes AUCTIONS.— Richard Poy. ser, Joseph °amide, and Edward Yates, were charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud Thos. Percival of his money, by inducing him to buy a metal watch which they represented to be a gold one. The particulars of this case have already been before our readers. Percival, the prosecutor, they liiay rev))_ lea, on 3d August last, was passing up Shude-hill along with his wife, when they entered the auction-room of the prisoner Porter. The only persons in the room were the prisoner, wit_ and on his entering , the room, a lot was knocked down to one nests wife, and himself. Peyser was selling silk handkerchiefs, of them. A gold watch was then put up, which was warrant.; ed to be the real thing, and Percival taking it to be a golden bargain, bid 3/. 35., anti it was knocked down to him instouter. The gold watch turning out to be not worth a farthing, a warrant was obtained, and the parties taken before the Itlagis trates, as we before described. The Jury found all the pri. Boners Guilty. The Chairman, in passing sentence, said, that th e case was a very serious one, and of great importance to the public, particularly to the poor of Manchester. These mock auctions had done more to defraud the lowe r c l asses than auy thing else. He was happy this prosecution hail taken place. and he hoped it would have the effect of putti ng do wn moc k auctions altogether. At the conc l us i on of this atlases'' he sen tenced Porter and Yates to two years' imprisonment , in Lftn caster Castle, and Gartside, who w as a pensioner, and in humble circumstances, and moreover a mere servant, to six month!;" imprisonment in Manchester gaol. Poyaer then shook clan_ side heartily by t h e h and, and with yaw* left the bar with much apparent indifference..-Plaathesur Paper.)
