[FURTHER PARTICULARS.] Yesterday being the day on which, by_imvscriptive custom, the new LORD MAYOR is sworn into office at Westminster, and receives the consummation of civic honours, every prepa ration was made in the city to render the procession and grand entertainment as magnificent as p oss ibl e . Hi s Lordship bad actively engaged himself for the purpose of reviving the an cient spirit of the 9th of November; and certainly no expcnce was spared in rendering the pageant an object of wonder. The public seemed to be aware of the richness of the treat intended, and all the streets through which the Chief Magi strate was to pass were crowded at an early hour. Several shops were closed in order to avoid broken windows, and pickpockets were in abundance at every corner. Indeed, one gentleman lost his pocket-book, containing 6001., at the corner of Queen street, as the procession was passing. At ten o'clock the Lord Mayor's carriage was driven through the city, and attracted great admiration. The coachman, outrider, and footmen, were literally covered with gold. The out-rider's jacket, when the sun, which had a cheerful influence the whole of the day, played upon it, appeared quite in a blaze. Chains of gold ran along the arms and back with embroidered flowers, and at the top of each sleeve was a bouquet interspersed with olive leaves and cornucopia:. On the shoulders were worked aigulets of massive gold chain-work. The cloth, scarcely any of which was per , ceptible, amidst the splendour of the embroidery, was of green, lined with yellow. The pattern of the broad and heavy lace, which was so profusely accumulated, was beautiful, and had the strong attraction of novelty to recommend it. This im portant appendage to the occasion was equalled by the liveries of the other servants of his Lordship, and was highly creditable to the taste of Mr. Paul, of Bucklersbury, who made the live ries of his Lordship when Sheriff. The fat sleek condition of the men corresponded with the reputation of the Guildhall ban quet. At a little after 11 o'clock a grand breakfast way pre pared for the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation, in the Common Council Chamber, in which a great number of Ladies, who would not run the hazard of a street view, were assem bled. The Sheriffs attended in state in their robes, followed by the Under. Sheriffs and their officers. The late Lord Mayor, Aldermen Wood, Sir C. S. Hunter, Bridges, Magney, Vena bles, and Thompson, were the only Aldermen we observed .at this commencement of the ceremonies of the day. The Common Sergeant, Mr. Sergeant Arahin, and the other City Law Mi. cers, were at the breakfast. At about half-past twelve, the Lord Mayor got into his state carriage, and the procession began to move. The hors es which d rew hi s L or d s hi p were ver y s uperbly TT; e t ri w a o nA t y y el s low lrsi r l i a l is ind a s h , lit a ni n g tl b t:; . 1: 1 1 s a t z o o: e :1 h e a rt p n ' i L t r i i t s er m cl e o d t hs. with to " the soft phrase of peace," looked 'most warlike. 'They headed the procession like triumphant heroes. 'The renowned men in armour followed, with their esquires in - i dei • u y array, and their attendants in the costume of the daylsntlfllit'larl worth. In the list, the second suit of armour is set down as being from the Tower, where it has the character of having once covered the body of Henry V. The late Lord Mayor was greatly cheered OA the procession passed along Cheapside and down Ludgate-hill. At Blackfriars Bridge, where the crowds of spectators were immense, the company embarked on board the city state barge. Th e barges of the Goldsmiths', the Mer chant Tailors', the Fishmongers', the Grocers,' and several other Coinpaniea received the suite. All the barges were de corated with the emblazoned banners of the companies, and were unusually brilliant upon the water. The wind was rather brisk, and near Waterloo-bridge the Goldsmiths, barge, in spite of the exertions of the watermen was driven against one of the heavy coal barges, and sus tained some damage. Near lilackfriars Bridge, several persons tumbled into the water, hut we are glad to say that no serious accident occurred—an extraordinary fact, considering that such a crowd of smell boats accompanied the aquatic pageant, that it was matter of great difficulty to avoid upset ting some of them., The Lord Mayor was saluted by repeated discharges of cannon, and the ringing of all the city bells. At half-past two, his Lordship landed at Westminster, and p ro . ceeded to the Court of Exchequer. As this Court is a tempo rary erection on the miserably confined space formerly occupied as the Court of Chancery, the crowding of the curious became a source of the utmost annoyance. The Barons of the Ex. chequer sat in their robes to receive the Civic Body. The Recorder advanced, leading the new Lord Mayor on his right, and the old on his left. In introducing thenewttrritl Mayor to the Barons, the Recorder said he had die ho of introducing to the Court the Right Honourable John Garrett, Citizen and Goldsmith, a gentleman elected by th e free choice of his fellow-citizens, as worthy, from his public and private virtues, to sustain the most important and dig nified office in their disposal—that of their Chief Magistrate, — The Learned Gentleman then enumerated, at considerable length, the duties of the office, their important and honour able nature, and expressed his conviction that his Lordship would be wanting in nothing that was calculated to maintain the dignity and splendour which always belonged to the situation. Hut Lordship would doubtless preserve with inflexible firmness the invaluable privileges of his fellow-citizens—act with dili. gence and impartiality in the justice.seat—maintain that hos pitality and munificent splendour which were worthy of the first metropolis in the world,—and secure, at the expiration of his Mayoralty, the thanks and esteem of all his constituents.--- The Recorder then said, he had the honour to introduce Robert Waithman, Esq., Alderman and frame-work-kilter, who at. tended to render in his account of the faithful discharge of the duties of his office. That Gentleman had acted meritoriously throughout. He had dischared his duties with zeal and loyalty. As a Magistrate he had been most diligent and able, and had everywhere gained renown and esteem. Ile had shewn him self the friend Qf 4he efilicted, the proteetQr of the oppressed, and made himself the terror of evil-doors. He had maintained the hospitality and splendour of the city, and his conduct throughout the year had been marked by an ardent desire to conciliate the good-will of his fellow-citizens, and to promote every thing which could operate to their moral and political welfare. More could be said upon the subject, bat the sense which the Gentleman's fellow-citizens entertained of his services were best expressed by the unanimous vote of thanks which they voted to him in the l as t C ommon H a ll . 'rho CUM/ BARON addressed the new Lord Mayor at con. siderable length, and expressed his concurrence in the eulogium made by the Recorder on the office of Lord Mayor and the Gentleman, the election of wh om was t h e strongest test i mony that lie ha d difilised the wealth honourably acquired for the general benefit. The Chief Baron said, that from all he knew, and all that he had heard of the Gentleman who had been just elected, he was convinced th a t t h e d ut i es o f t h e o ffi ce would be ' conducted with the greatest zeal, loyalty, and talent. The CHIEF Banos then addressed the late Lord Mayor in highly complimentary terms, on the manner in which he had performed the duties of his office. To convince them of his meritorious conduct, it was unnecessary to read the vote of thanks—.his actions are well known. He had executed the duties of his office in a manner that did honour to the city—in a manner calculated to be his gaffs tion in his old age, and die pride of his children hereafter. After the new Lord Mayor had been sworn in, and had taken the customary oaths, the late Lord Mayor gave in his accounts, and performed various acts, which ate continued on account of their antiquity. The new Lord Mayor and Sheriff's then in vited their Lordships, and afterwards went into the Court of Common Pleas, to invite the other Judges to dinner. The procession returned to the city in the order in which it had set out. . o . 1"... , .. • 1 . , !' 7 ~.. s 6..

Was splendidly decorated, and an additional number of oil lamps were suspended round the Gothic frame-work of the windows, and gave a pleasing relief to the brilliant glare of the gas lights. Festoons of gas-lights were su s p e nd e d from the capitals of the high pillars, and as each of the grand mono. ments were cleaned to perfect whiteness, the effect was incon ceivably grand. The grand avenue* to the Courts and Coun cil Chambers were all thrown open for the occasion, and hung with crimson drapery, ornamented with shtekb4--whieh had the appearance of burnished gold. TUE DINNER. At a little before six o'clock, the Duke of York was an nounced. His Royal Highness was received with the loudest acclamations; and soon afterwards the Duke of Clarence en tered the Hall for the first time, and was received with similar testimonies of welcome from the company, which was by this time extremely numerous. Their Royal Highnesses inane. diately took their seats to the left of the Lord Mayor, upon whose right sat the late Lord Mayor, Lord Bexley, Mr. Can. ning, Mr. Peel, Lord Francis Conyngham, Mr. Dawson, the Under Secretary of State, Mr. Croker, &c. To the left of the Royal Dukes sat the Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Park, Mr. Jut. tics thtselee Mr. Justice Bayley, Mr. Baron Garrow, Mr. Ba ron Ilttllock, and the Judges of the minor Courts. All the seats on the hustings were occupied as usual by the distil). guished visitors; those in the body of the Hall were filled by the Corporation and their friends. The dinner consisted of all the delicacies of the season. The first toast was " The King;" which was drank with great enthusiasm. _ _ The band then played " God save the King," which revived the applause. The Luau Mal on then rose to propose " The Duke of York, and the Army," in doing which his Lordship said he was most happy to congratulate the city upon the revival of the ancient splendour and royalty which used to attend the civic feasts.—(Cheers.) The Loaf Mason next gave " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," which was also drank with the strongest evidences of attachment and admiration. His Lordship stated to the company that they were particularly honoured by this visit of the Roval Duke, as it was the first tune lie had seer honoured a civic festival with his presence. , The fourth toast was `t The Duke of Cumberland, and the 'I rest of the Royal Family." The Louts 31 aa - o a then proposed the health of the late Lord Mayor. Ile said it was quite unnecessary for him to the xs par a ti p e u u b la i r ic iz e e har a c n t i e e r r 0 4 of a I 1 1 high talentsiai n who a was n dae t k i v n i o t y w , n w t s o w tl e i l e l pi puasblic an impartial distributor of justice.—(Loud applause.) Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN returned thanks. With re spect to the possession of talents, he had no more to say, than that up en entering into the situation which he had that day resigned, he a ssure d his A:Nowa:Ume that all he was capable of doing should be done. He had redeemed his pledge; and he trusted that those around hint were satisfied with the efforts he had made to prove his attachment and sincerity.— (Cheers.) The Loan al A von next proposed the health of a Nobleman who had been long connected with the administration of the country—Lord Bexley. That Nobleman had tilled one of the most important offices of the Government, and it must he a source of great happiness to look back at the successful efforts of the men to whom he had been so clii4l7 allied, to find that the measures of that Government with which he had been con nected were daily increasing the prosperity of the country, and productive of the blessings of a laming teeece.—(Applause.) zw'6i tjandee:'leli'lt:gbEetirbleolrisrtilisaliegid-‘:adtimilipaiintnitaus:Lsniantteiovtlii;honseligieltli t ti : Niv o ne f i t bl l ey e en c r o ci ti i) : B l t ini r d y e . br — iyi In whatever degree that result might be attributable to the share he took in the elfish* of the Government, lie felt it to be an undeniable fact, that a solid and unceasing abundance of pros. perity was shed upon every branch of the community. He felt a peculiar gratification in having his health proposed by his excellent friend die Lord Mayor, whom he had long known and highly respected. His Lordship concluded with giving—" Pros perity to the City of London." The Duke of Your: proposed the health of the Lord 'Mayor, which was drank in the most esithaelestic manner. The Lonn 31aron returned thanks. The great duties which he had to perform should have all his care. He felt that they were difficult of performance, but he would be indefatigable, and in his eflhrt to support the dignity of the Chief Magi& trate, and enforce the respect due to his Sovereign, he would take especial care not to compromise the privileges of his fel. low-citizens.—(Loud and continued cheers.) The Duke of CLAn seers: proposed the health of' the " Lady Mayoress." The Loan MaTott proposed the health of " Mr. Can ning," who formed a most prominent part of the present Ad. ministration. His Lordship said, he had to congratulate the Right Hon. Gentleman upon being a distinguished member of a tiovernreent with which he h a d connecte cliiimself at a period of great difficulty, when the nation was engaged in a serious contest, and when, but for die vigorous and wise efforts of the i this country was prevented front becoming a tribu. tart' state. str The Right Hum Gentleman was highly to be con. gratulatrd upon being again a member of that Administration in which he had distinguished himself by his advocacy of the liberal policy now adopted, which policy would have been adopted at an earlier period had it not been for the intervention of circumstances which there was no poseibility of controuling. Mr. CANNING, in returning thanks, said he had been for. mcrly connected with the Administration, when they were per. f"rnittig acts which led to the most glorious results. It was his peculiar good fortune, and not his peculiar merit, that he happened to be come a Member of his af a hel l acdt aj on e l s pe ty t ' e a bnra e c 'i yn o c v tio e l r a , o i t . l, men' at a period when a series of glorious victories was ter minuted by a still more glorious peace; and he felt happy in observing, that sonic of the most pleasing effects of trinse victories were to be found in a cessation of those angry feel ins which unavoidably grew out of that collision of opi nions necessarily attendant upon a state of war and disquiet. li e was proud also to state, that as England was established with foreign nations in a supremacy which no accident could overturn or shake, his Illajesty't. Ministers were happy to be enabled to adopt the meeitures of liberal policy to which the Lord Mayor had liD kindly adverted.

POETRY. 'TIS PAST-THE FOND-THE FLEETING DREAM. 'Tis past—the fond—the fleeting dream Of love and hope is o'er, And darkly steals life's troubled stream Unto the silent shore. But still this broken heart of mine Shall be thy memory's mournful thine, 'Till it is laid at rest with thine, Where grief is felt no more.. My sorrow seeks no lonely spot, In some far desert placed ; To me each scene where thou art not Is hut a joyless waste. Where all around is bright and fair I only feel thou art not there, And turn from what thoa eanst not thaw, And sigh to be at rest i I bow no more at beauty's shrine, For me her charms are vain The heart that once !lath loved like mine Can never love again. The wreathing smile, the beaming eye, Are pawed by me unheeded by ; And where thy ruln'd relics lie, My buried hopes remain. Life's latest tie hath sever'd been Since thou hest ceased to be ; Oar hearts the grave hatlt closed betweek,. And what remains for me In this dark pilgrimage below? A vain regret—a cherished woe— And tears that cannot cease to flow Whene'er I think of thee. , SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. The annual race for the H. H.

Fonier's (of Sparsholt) bay horse; consequently he was entitled to the cup ' and Mr. ltiggs's mare to a handsome jockey-whip, as second best. There was some good sport, and the race was well contested. The weather proving fine, the Down was crowded with spectators.

Th e d eer ran with great speed throu::11 the Inclosures and woods towards Beeville'field, taking to the right in the direction of Buletrode-park, where the deer was taken after en excellenj run. CITY TITHES UNDER THE 37th OF HENRY VU Among the representations that hare been made to the Special Committee of the Common Council of London, appointed to consider! the Tithe Question, we understand that the fact of the non-enrolment of the decree in Chancery, which is now clearly ascertained, is, as it ought to be, chiefly dwelt upon as the ground of resisting the exhorbitant claims under tile invalid statute. But independently of the non enrolment of the decree, the sums therein provided t o b e p a id cannot be fairly deemed exclusively applicable to the Clergy, and Impropriators are now claiming to receive them, inasmuch us they were, in lit of ancient oblations, payable for the joint porposFsof supporting the poor, rep a i ring t h e c h urc h es, an d maintaining the Clergy the introduction of church and poor rates being of a subsequent date.—Twenty-two parishes not in. eluded In the Fi re A cts , are protected by Local Acts, or their ' own impropriators are subject to the claim of 2s. lid. in the pound, As now asserted by the Clergy and lay i m p ropr i ators; and what. ever urns be the instances in which less than that amount It at present paid, there is no guarantee against it increase in future years, without fresh enactments by the Legislature.... All the fire-act parishes, having fixed stipends, are protected, and likewise the under-mentioned impropriate ones t--Saint Bride's (by the fire: act and local act); St. biary, Alderman. bury (their own impropriators); St. Stephen, " Coleman-street (ditto); St. Sepulchre, (by the fire act s ) ; Saint Laurence, Jewry (by ditto, and arrangement with Ballol College, Ox. ford); St. Lawrence, Pountney (their own itnpropriators).— Other parishes arc also protected, but not in the fire act, are St. Catherine Cree (by local act)r St. Bartholomew the Great (always exempt); St. Dunstan in the East (by local act) ; St. 'Andrew, Holborn (by local act). lt is clear, that the remaining parislicv not protected viz. St. Olive, Ran. street ; Sr. Botolph, Aldgate ; St. Botolph, Aldersgate ; St. Botolph, Bishopsgate ; - St. Gregory by St. Paul's; St. bales Cripplegate ; All Hallows, Barking; and All Hal lows, London.wall, should be also allowed to form equit able arrangements on reasonable •provisions, calculated to uphold the dignity an d respect of die Faitablished church, and the peace and good-will of all parties. It .is scarcely necessary to advert to the passing of a bill in the last session of Parliament, for the Commutation of Tithes in the parish and township of Leeds, by which these important results were secured; and to numerous other instances, particularly in regard to the new churches erected in the reign of Queen Anne, and at subsequent periods in and about the metropolis, as well as those of very late years, which have secured the like advan. tages to the parishes of St. Dunstan in the West, and St. An drew, Holborn. Dert.—At an early hour on the morning of Saturday, a meeting was appointed to take place within a short distance of Guildford, in Surrey, between J. 11. M—, Esq. and Mr. 13—, of South Moltou-street, attended by their respec. Live friends ; but in conse quence o f the active interference of one o f t h e G entlemen i n t h e Com mission o f th e P eace (w h o h a d near ly secured Mr. M. at the house of a friend on the previous evening) the time and place of meeting were changed by mutual consent, and the parties met on Monday morning, nearly midway between 13rentford and Haramerstnith. Two shots each were fired without effect, and the difference was then amicably adjusted. Mu. GRAHAM'S ASCENT titO2d CANTERBURY,. —Monday, two o'clock, being the time appointed f or t h e as cension of 'Mr. Graham in his balloon from the Gas Virorks, Canterbury, at an early hour the folks thronged f rom a ll quarters to be present at the grand ceremony ; the num bers exceeded those on the two former days. In come quonce of the riotous disposition previously evinced towards Graham and his balloon, the populace was excluded, and, (with the exception of the Bubble Committee), no body was admitted to view the inflation ; the surrounding bills, however, were covered with people ; in particular we noticed the Mount of the Dane John, which seemed to those beneath a solid mass of human beings. At the appointed hour every thing was in readiness, and about half-past two o'clock. the aeronauts, Mr. Graham and a Mr. Charles Beer, a re spectable tradesman, stepped into the car when she rose in majestic style, tho ug h somew h at rapidly, till having reached a considerable height, the aeronauts, for the gratification of the numerous spectators on the tops of the houses, continued for a few minutes to hover over the town, waving their flags t then bending her course to the south she passed at a rapid rate, till entering a cloud, she was entirely lost to human eyes, after remaining in sight about ten minutes. She alighted at Ililbo. rough, near lieculver ' being only half a mile from the sea, and about sixteen miles distant front Canterbury. On their first reaching the ground, the balloon rebounded about six feet from the earth ; when, by the assistance of several countrymen, it was held down by force, and the aeronauts joyfully stepped on terra firma, after an absence of only fifteen minutes. Hav ing secured the balloon and car, they stepped into two chaises, and reached Canterbury about six o'clock, where they were drawn in triumph through the town, with innutnerable torch lights, At. amidst the acclamations of the populace. Thus was the man who but a short time previous they had hooted, hissed, and hustled, honoured, and by the same people. A few winters since the noble residence of the Governor-Generul of Moscow was destroyed by fire. It happened on the occasion of a grand ball, and the tables were already laid for supper, when the fire was discovered. It had long been seen by the watchman, but who could not think of giving the alarm, or disturbing the quadrilles and waltzes. When at length it became known, the company had barely time to escape before the drawing-room fell in, carrying With it the supper-tables, &c. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SIIERIFF'S COURT-•(Tuts DAY.) CURIOUS GAIL BYLLIVANT v. CVLLING.---Tilliil was all tidier* to recover the sum of 75!. for nine years' relit, due by the defendant, and also in reality to make good the plaintiff's title to a house and stable, which the defendant had occupied for the above period without paying any rent for it. The facts of the case were—the defendant occupied a house at Chelsea, let to him on lease, and about nine years since a house and stable were erected on the ground at the back of the house, for the latter of which tie was bound to pay 81. yearly. This he had regularly done up to the time in question, but a short time since he left the place, and sold the lease of the premises. In this situation the plaintiff had recourse to this Court, as the most luminary mode by which, if he could not obtain the rack rent, ho would make out his title to it in future. Notices were of course served on the parties, neither of whom appeared, and two wit nesses having proved the facts laid iu the venue, efie Jtiry found a verdict for the plaintiff 751. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. MARLBOROUGN-STIMET (This Day.) --Mr. JARRIN, the confectioner In Bond-street, at tended at the Office to state some further particu lars which had come to his knowledge relative to the atrocious attempt that was made on Satin." day night last to assassinate Mrs. Jarrln. From his statement it would appear that the act was committed by a tall and elgantly-dressed gentle,- man, who was observed on the opposite side of the way, with a large stick i n hi s h an d, w hi c h i t is since believed was an air-gun. He was ob• served to have raised the stick towards his breast, in a parallel direction towards the window, and immediately after the bullet passed within an inch' of Mrs. J.'s person. The gentleman then walked off hi a hurried and agitated manner. At the mo input another gentlemaiyall in statere,dressed in a dark coat, stood near the window and when th e shop girl r a n ou t, s h e questioned him, after which he went off quick in the same direction as the other person. From the description given, it is hoped the police will in a few days bring the parties to justice. QUEEN.SQUARE.--(Tuis DAY.) Guoss AssAut..r.—A tall stout man, describing himself a coal•meter, was brought up from the watch-house, charged with riotous conduct, and assaulting the watchman. It appeared from the evidence, that about five o'clock this morning, the prisoner was in Cannon-row, knocking vie. leutly at a Gentleman's door, and on being told to go away, ho was very abusive and struck at every person ; in the watch-house also hie behaviour was outrageous in the extreme, and many of the watchmen suffered through his vio. fence severely. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had no knowledge whatever of striking the watchmen. The Magistrate fined him in the mitigated penalty of 40s. for the offence, ob. serving, that had he been a man in better circum stances than he appeared, he certainly should have enforced the full amount of 51.
