Thomas Gerard was capitally- indicted for stealing twelve volumes of an Encyclopedia from the dwelling heuse of Stephen W. De Siva, Esq. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, who was_a journeyman painter, had been for many days employed in painting and decorating the prosecutor's house, and had frequent access to one room, in which was a book-case containing many valuable works. After the painting was finished the prosecutor, on going to his bookcase, missed the twelve volumes of an Encyclopcedia. An inquiry was instituted, and suspicion falling upon the prisoner, he was apprehended, when it was ascertained that he had pawned the books at different pawnbroker's shops, and on different days. The books were produced by the pawnbrokers, and the prisoner in some instances identified as having pawned them. The Jury, believing the books were stolen at various times, and not at once, so as to convict the prisoner of stealing at one time to the value of 405., found him Guilty of stealing to the value of less than 20F. Several very trifling cases were also disposed of. These Sessions, which have been of a very light character, as compared with the preceding, are expected to terminate to-day. ted tha t ter part' loweve r .1d by 3 ecessitY for the easy to inter :hose ot ken of f ' Ly Stat e ( year I lland of emburg just v.' and is e men• 7 - ;o poLv robable; rs, and uthori t l, rational died to treat9' NEW COURT. Jane- Boyd was charged with stealing one pound four shillings, from the person of John Nl‘Kenneth, a sailor, in September last. The prosecutor, a weather-beaten, thorough looking sailor, stated that on the day named in the indictment he was coming up Ratcliff.highway, from the India Docks, when he met the prisoner, who pressed him to give her something to drink; they went to a public-house toge ther, where another woman was introduced ; they both began larking with him, and coon after, on putting his hand in his pocket, he found that he was cleaned out. He then gave the prisoner into custody ; the other woman got away. . _ The prisoner put in a written defence of which the following is a literal copy :—" My Lords and Gentn. of the Gory, 1 am inosent of the charge lade on me, as my Landlade well nos I reseved a soverin from a sailor the night before I met the persecutor out of which I pade for some drink. The persecutor lade with me in the Blew Lyonn. The persecutor nos :is how I lade out ever so much money for him because he had not got none himself. I leave my case in your hands, My Lords and Gentn. of the Gury." Two policemen, of the K division, proved that the pri- soner was known as a regular thief, and that she was dis charged from a charge of stealing from the person of a sailor only last Sessions.—Guilty. Thomas Large, Henry Cooper, and George Low were indicted for stealing from on board a boat on the Grand Junction Canal, near Uxbridge, a flannel frock, a pair of shoes, 21. 12s. in money, and other things, the property of Daniel Darby. The articles were stolen on the 28th Sept., and on the Ist Oct. the prisoner, Thomas Large, took the frock and shoes to a public-house in Uxbridge, where he wanted to sell them. There was no evidence against the other pri soners further than that they were seen in company with Large. Cage in his defence said he had found the things. He was found Guilty and the others were acquitted. PUBLIC SALES AT GARRAWAY'S. (THIS DAY.) By Mr. WILSON.—The beneficial lease of a villa called " Riversdale Villa," delightfully situate on the banks of the Thames at Twickenham, between the seats of Lady Barnet and Sir Wathen Waller, with seven acres of land, the whole in perfect order and fit for immediate occupation.— It is held of Lord Clifden for an unexpired term of seven years from Lady day next, at 260/. per annum ; but which will be renewed to a responsible tenant for 21 years.— Knocked down and bought in at SOL By Massits. lIAINEs and Sos.—The Orange-tree public-house, in Orange-street, Red Lion-square, which has been built within the last four years, at an expense of 700/. The premises are held on a lease, which has 32 years to run, at a rent of 52/. 10s.—Sold for 5701. 'We hear that a number of Lord HoLLE's yeomanry cavalry, at Tiverton, have resigned.— Western Times.

CHARLES THE SECOND used to observe, that of all persons he had ever met, the Clergy of Eng land were the most tenicious of their rights, and the most negligent of their duties. The Clergy of the present generation have in no way degenerated from the virtues of their ancestors. MIcnAELmAs GEESE.—By a wager which two gentlomen made last week, it was ascertained that no less than five hundred and three geese were roasted in Chester on Sunday last.—Staffordshire Mercury. Government has granted a loan of 160,0001. for the purpose of completing the Birmingham and Liver pool Junction Canal. The appearance of a celebrated gin-spinner at a Court is said to have given great umbrage to those who owe their introduction to spinning-jennies. In the opinion of Mr. STRICKLAND and of many others, among whom, we believe, may be numbered Lords MORPSTII and MILTON, and Mr. RAMSDEN, Mini sters will be able to carry their dill without a new crea tion of Peers. The strength of the Government, the firmness of the KINa, and the determination of the people, they think, will induce many of the Peers to abandon their hopeless and dangerous opposition. —Leeds Mercury. LISTON, the comedian, was amongst the spectators in the Painted Chamber at the House of Lords on Thursday, when the King prorogued Parliament Lord BROUGHAM attended his MAJESTY from his carriage to the Robing-room, and when the CHANCELLOR passed LISTON, wiio had stationed himself in the fr,nt, amongst the assembled visiters, the Learned Lord found it extremely difficult to preserve his gravity. It appears by the Devonport Telegraph that the Bishop of EXETER has managed to embroil himself with the parishioners of Devonport. We have nut room f r the story, which is a very long one, but the result is that the Bishop, after promising to abide by the opinion of Dr. LUSIIINGTON upon a doubtful point, altered his mind, and now professes to think his own opinion better than that of the Doctor. The afriir promises to termi ❑ate in an appeal to Parliament. Mr. E. TEMPLE, a gentleman of fortune re siding at St. John's Wood, attempted suicide on Saturday, by discharging a pistol at his breast. The report brought some of the family to his assistance, who found him on the floor weltering in his blood, but cocking another pistol with intent of snore effectually completing his purpose. His wound is very dangerous, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. He refuses to assign any season for the rash act, and only regrets the attempt was not fatal. At the Guildford Petty Sessions on Saturday, a number of disorderly persons, male and female, were brought up, who have for some time infested the town and neighbourhood. They were apprehended sleeping in a barn near the town, One of them, a married women, on being sentenced to six weeks' hard labour, addre,KA an im pertinent remark to the magistrates, on which the time was ordered to be doubled. The remaining parties were com mitted for l L days.—County Chronicle. C 110LERA.—( Extract of a circular published by Sir GILBERT BLANY.)—As it is another peculiarity of this dreadful impending disease to require, above all others, 17,n early mid ei;ergetic practice, it is of the last import ance, that as many as possible of the community at I irge should have some knowledge of what should, without a moment's loss of time, be put in practice, and the first seizure is so striding that there can be no excuse for delay. It is important to observe, that there is a certain charac teristic which pervades nil the stages of this disease, namely, that there is a notable prostration of the whole powers of life, and as this holds true also of those who are moat susceptible, tbi: practice applies to a diet as weil as med. pine ;• sa . that those ivhu tan afford it will do well, idt order to Malty their constitutions against an attack, t o adopt a generous, but perfectly temperate and moderate style of life. In case of an actual attack, the proper medi. cines to have in readiness for administration are tincture of opium, more commonly known by the name of lauda num, which ought to be given in some warm cordial drink to the amount of about iio drops, that is, a middle .... • air : ed tea-spoonful, with a table-spcionfol of spirituou s liqupr—brandy has been chiefly recoalinfrided. This ought to be repeated in two or three hours, by which time the medical assistance may probably have arrived. In the mean time a hot bath ought to be prepared, and some hot nourishing broth. The rem , dies on which most dependence has been placed next to those above mentioned are calomel, in the dose of 20 grains, and bloodletting. Among the secondary remedies m a y be mentioned some of the essential oils, such as that of peppermint and cajoputa:' THE ANNUALS. These graceful little works come to us at a period when their magic is much needed. They come to us amid the fogs and gloom of November, in the proverbial season of hypochondriasis and dyspepsia, as if for the express purpose of wiling away our me lancholy, refining our tastes, and luring us for a time from the cares and vexations of business—that term so comprehensive to an Englishman, and be yond which he scarcely presumes to entertain an idea! Henceforth when we look forward to No vember, we shall look forward to it, not as the har binger of mist, and rain, and cheerless, unsocial darkness, but of the smiling, sunshiny Annuals, with their exquisite embellishments, their picturesque exterior, their suitable admixture of prose and verse, of gaieties and gravities, of fact and fiction, of ro mance and sentiment. This, though trifling in its way, is a point gained to humanity. But not only are the Annuals acceptable for their own intrinsic qualifications, they are welcome also as being agreeable recorders of the past. The sea son of their forthcoming is an epoch from which to date; a point on which to look back, for the purpose of reviving faded reminiscences. The " Amulet," the " Tourist in Italy," and a variety of other An nuals, are now lying before us. How many recol lections, half pleasing, half painful, des their pre sence conjure up ! Where be the smiling, youthful faces who but last November turned over with us their attractive pages ? Where the slight, fairy figures, buoyant with health and hope and youth, and beaming with all the witchery of woman, which shook with laughter at the quaint wood cuts of the last " Comic Annual?" Gone—all gone ; some beyond seas to India ; others to that dark, silent home, whence there is no more issu ing forth ; one has journeyed to this country, and one to that ; Mary has become a wife and mother; Sophy an old maid and a Blue ; Tom is being flogged at Eton, and Richard at Reading; 11,bert has gone to Paris, John to Cambridge, Charles, the scape-grace, to the Devil ;—in a word all are gone, and forgotten too, till now again brought visibly before us by the reappearance of these splen did ephemera. If it were not for the Annuals, we really know not what we should do. We have no histories just now before us—•no poems (excepting such as we could readily dispense with—no tales—no satires comedies—no tragedies ;—the monomania of Reform has wholly taken possession of the reading public ;—the booksellers, from Paternoster-row to Burlington-street, one and all, are lying on their oars, or figuring in the columns of the Gazette ; —so to the Annuals we must of necessity turn for amuse ment, and, alas, even for instruction ! Welcome, then, most welcome is their appearance, as sunshine to flowers, twilight to the wearied peasant, a fee to a lawyer, a pension f o a placeman, or a translation to a Bishop. We have a strong affection for Annuals, and can not bring ourselves to subject them to the ordinary laws of criticism. We cannot choose but grant an act of dispensation in their favour, and permit them to run their brief course rejoicing. Who could have the heart to abuse that which seems created only to make him happy The Annuals are not meant to be scrutinized, but admired; not to be criticized, but commended. If, then, in the subjoined remarks the reader imagine that we intend to be rigid overmuch, or even critical towards these graceful, literary and pictorial bijoux, he will find himself altogether mistaken. We are going to praise therm with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength ; but if in the course of our remarks we cannot keep our tail under—if, in spite of ourselves, the acetbity of our churlish, ungracious vocation will now and then peep forth—it %,‘ ill be but as the slight squeeze of the lemon into the bowl, to be instantly followed by a qualifying infusion of the saccharine. THE NUMOURIST. " First come, first served," is our sole motive for giving " The Humourist" the precedence. It is a sprightly affair, full of grimace and caricature, and should have been edited by Liston or Grimaldi. Mr. Harrison, however, is no incompetent caterer, whether as respects selection or variety of subject. His tales are good, his embellishments still better. " Emigration," which forms the frontispiece, will discompose many a muscle. A prolific family of operatives, mounted, a dozen in a cart, and accom panied by an obese sow, four pigs, and three chil dren, in a wheelbarrow, are just setting out, in pur suance, doubtless, of Wilmot Horton's recommen dation,for Canada, New South Wales, or some such distant clime. The countenances of the groupe are matchless ; they are all in a roar, though the one horse that draws them painfully onward, cannot see the joke. He is dead) , of the Rozinante breed, much given to sedateness and melancholy. " Lightly Tread" is capital. A plump, oily fellow, is, in spite of himself, hastening quick towards a hole in the ice, above which peep forth the two legs of some respectable gentleman, whose head is at least a yard arid a half below water. The fat man strives to stop himself; but in vain, the irresistible laws of motion propel him onward. He is, consequently, in a desperate fright, and it is to be apprehended will be ducked, peradventure o:owned. From his sleek condition we conclude that he is either a sinecurist or a boroughmonger : if so, his immersion will be productive of much public benefit. " Fast and Loose." A corpulent dowager has stuck fast in a gateway, which a thin, shadowy old maid has just safely passed through. The fat dame looks hopeless and disconsolate, and can only be relieved by the assistance of the carpenter ; though, as the day is hot, she may possibly, in time, melt down into the requisite tenuity. The" Horse Marine" is illustrated by the picture of a wooden-legged sailor seated srpoliing ilcroas sea-chest, with ;a tumbler of grog and a tankard of Hle liside him. The tar has a face—such a face ! it would make the fortune of a comedian. " The Bull and the Barber." The barber is commencing operations on the chin of an elderly clod-hopper with a heard as rough as a shoe-brush, whet, be is sur- . prized by the sight of a coati bull, who, has uncere moniously thrust his jaws in, at the window. The barber of course is petrified, and ; i n the ,7,gitation of the moment slices off two-thirds of the peasant's nose. There is infinite whim in this evgrerving. " Robin Hood and Little John" pourtrays a wheezy, corpulent friar, who is thtmdiwsLincx by the apparition of a proty, etixoth, lass with an infant in her fiVMS, his undoubted proHrty. The ghost! OtheTis evidently alive to the Mimic) , of his po tjtion, awl looks as if he would fain shirk the order of affiliation. But the girl is inexorable, and sticks to him hke a leech or an apothecary. " Embarka tion." Illustrated by two well-fed, c?,mfortabfe looh irig citizens,. who are just setting out on a voyage. They will be dreadfully sea-sick, and we should grieve to be near them when they cast up their acr ! r'oants, " (rossing the Line":ep;esenti 4 drunken sailor who is pitching headlong from a rope into t t 'e sea. It is to be hoped he will be drowned, as the interest of his situation will be thereby considerably heightened. " Heavy Wet." Two women with legs like mill -posts, and stockings visible as far as the clocks, are caught in a soaking shower. Their situation is agreeable and to be envied. The re maining embellishments are more or less deserving of praise. LITERARY SOUVENIR. Mr. A. Watts, as a matter of course, prefaces his present Annual with a grumble. He complains of the flippant style in which his Souvenirs are usually noticed by the periodical Press. We know not what cause he has for complaint on this score. He cannot surely suppose that the great business of life is to stand still ; that the momentous news of the day from all parts of the continent —at a moment too, when Europe, from one end to the other, is all earthquake—is to be dismissed, or laid aide un til the claims of the " Literary Souvenir" on public astonishment and admiration are first satisfied! If he do, we can only say, that he has less knowledge of the world than we gave him credit for. But our business just now is not to find fault—we can assure M. Watts that we put forth these remarks in a spirit of the utmost frankness and good humour —but to praise. Indeed, the " Souvenir" may boldly set cen sure at defiance, for nothing can exceed the beauty of its embellishment+, or the taste and variety displayed in its literary contents. " The Converse zione" is an amusing satirical squib, of a colloquial character, whose sole defect is, that it is much too good-humoured. It should either have been more serious or more sarcastic. Genuine satire should ever be decided and uncompromising. " Sketches of Modern Poets" are gracefully and appropriately expressed. Campbell's is the most characteristic. The Choice" is penned in an elegant, feminine spirit. None but a lady of the most refined breed ing and accomplished mind could have matured such a gem. It has all the brilliant polish of ivory about it. " The Tribute of Arms," by Mrs. Alaric Watts—the first poetic production we have yet had the good fortune to see from her pert—is remat kable for its spirited and melodious versification; it has dl the chivalrous feeling of Scott, combined with the full, luxuriant, diction of Mrs. Hemans. She should encourage this talent ; it seems native to the soil, and to spring kindly up without force or effort. Of the embellishments—twelve in number—we shall simply say we know net one that is not first-rate. The harmonious blending of the lights and shades in " Oberwesel on the Rhine" is really matchless. In Howard's " Numa and Egeria," the sweet, se rious face of the prophetic wood-nymph is in the truest spirit of history. The artist has read Livy with the feeling of a poet and the tact of a painter. Th e " Marchioness of Salisbury" is a less fortunate production. But of all the graceful countenances that lend lustre to this Souvenir, commend us to " Allegia." Oh, the expression of that arch, smil ing face; such, with good-nature; and smiling, from sheer innocence and simplicity ! Care has not vet darkened the eye of the lovely girl. She is yet in the first bloom of womanhood, just treading on the threshold of that world, which some years hence she may wish she had never entered. But we will not anticipate misfortune. Shall we ♦enture on a guess at her future lot ? She will then wed at the age of twenty-one some dashing stripling, as hand some as herself; will have children by the score, well-wishers by the hundred ; and preserve the bland expression of those clear, dove-like eyes to the vety last moment of her existence. Even as a dowager she will be remarkable for the kindness and good-humour of her disposition, and expire, as she has lived, without an enemy. This, criticism perhaps, may be " flippant," but it is at any rate" short," and, we would fain hope, " sweet." On the whole, we consider the " Souvenir" of this year by many de grees the first of its class. WINTER'S TVREATH. This is a provincial affair, and does credit to the good town of Liverpool, which is the place of its birth, baptism, and education. It comes forth in virgin scarlet attire, glittering with gold, and stud ded with embellishments, like a frosty sky with stars. One engraving alone, " The Highland Fortress of Leasing Eray," executed by Brandard, from a painting by Martin, is worth the price of the whole volume. The foreground of this gem is wild—ro mantic—varied—and stands out in fine, bold relief to the soft, shadowy range of mountains in the dis tance, at whose base glitters a silver sheet of water, enlivened by far-stretching promontories, light, feathery woods, and islands where Miranda might be proud to take up her abode. " The Wreck" is of a wholly different character, filling the mind with images of horror and dismay. The waves run mountains high ; the rocks are close a-head ; the heavens are labouring with storm and tempest; and the vessel is just foundering, with but two human beings visible on its deck, whose only funeral dirge shall be the clang of the sea-gulls now screaming right above their heads. It is an impressive subject impressively told, but we gladly turn from it to one more conge nial to our tastes. " Naples," aye, this is indeed a treat ! Here we have the whole range of t.lie most picturesque city in Europe strete4cl out before us, with Vesuvius in, tit distance and the matchless bay in front, while the brilliant, fervid glow of an Italian summer-twilight irradiates the whole land scape with glory. Mr. Linton, you have done justice to your subject, Sir; Mr. Goodall, you have rendered equal justice to Mr. Linton. The literary depart ment is scarcely worthy of the embellishments.. it is above mediocrity, and will of,;:ord, much amuse ment to the good natured aißd the indolent. iNire t Ileinans the most eiTtelent contributo7q 44MUCE1'.

LANDSCAPE ANNUAL. Italy is the subject of these illustrations. Finer scenes could not be selected than this delicious country aTords. Ctorgeous palaces--::renowned °mantic mountains—meandering,. pie• turoique streams and lakes —ruined temples fraught with the recollections of the past—groves—mea do ms—vineyards—waterfdll s ;—all these, in which the land of song abounds, are presented to our eyes in the p+ges of this var'ed, eleont annual. To the Italian tourist the work cannot tail to be particu larly acceptable. JUVENILE FOR GE T-ME- N 0 T. Mrs. Hall has our best wishes for the success of this pretty Annual, which is gracefully illustrated, gracefully written, with subjects well selected and well executed. ACKERMANN' S JUVENILE FORGET -- - - ME-NOT. An attractive little child's book, printed in a very neat legil►le type : but inferior inn its tout ensemble to Mrs. Hall's bijou of the same name. THE FORGET-ME-NOT. The eldest of the Annuals, and one which wears its years surprisingly well. A greener old age we never saw ; it is like Adam's in As You Like " a lusty winter, frosty, but kindly." The best en graving is decidedly the " Triumph of Mordecai," executed in Finden's best manner, from a painting by Martin. Among the literary contributions we may select for especial praise the tale of" Old Mas ter Green," by Miss Mitford. A HUNDRED WOOD-CUTS FOR THE COMIC ANNUAL. One hundred hearty laughs for sixpence ! Dirt cheap! The Chancellor of the Exchequer should Instantly turn h►s attention to this article, and lay a t,, x on it; it would greatly increase the Revenue.— Who would refuse to purchase s ch able wood cuts, even with a heavy duty laid on them ? I,► the November season they are worth any price, on Peter Pindar's principle, that— " Cate to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt. But every joke Po merry draws one out." COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Miss KEMBLE made her appearance here last night for the first time as Queen Catherine in Henry the _Eighth, which was revived with all suitable splendour for the oc casion. YOUNG was li r olsey, C. KEMRLE, Henry, and MASON, Cromwell. But our chief object is with Misr KEMBLE, who brought to her task many superior qealiti rations, and was throughout her performance warmly and deservedly applauded. Although somewhat shorter, she was dressed like Mrs. SIUDONS ; and if she wanted height, she did not want dignity of carriage, and perfect graceful ness and force of action. In the trial scene, at the close df the second act, she made most of the points relied upon by her great predecessor, and these the audience warmly applauded ; not merely because they produced agreeable re collections of the past, but happy anticipations of the future. They showed that the present occupant of the part, in intel lect, is no whit inferior, if, indeed, in some respects, she be not superior. With all our reverence fur Mrs. SIDDONS, We feel assured that she could never have written a play equal to that which has been produced by her niece, and of which as it has been already printed, though not yet pub lished) we hive the enjoyment of reading some scenes. Recurring to the trial, it may be hypercritical, but we must say that the rebuke of Wulsey—" I will, when yeti ire hunible"—was delivered with too much of a sneer, ad ling, perhaps, to the sharpness, but not to the bitterness ind force of the reproof. In our opinion, the fourth act, which the Queen has nearly all to herself, is the most diffi cult of the play ; she is in the last stage of debility, and in .e wide area it is impossible to give effect to what is said in rerlote quarters. Miss F. KESIBLE'S acting was here most judicious; but that very circumstance prevented its telling at a distance. If we may just " hint a fault," we would recommend that she should make the weakness of Kathe rine appear to arise more from the infirmity of sickness than from the infirmity of age. C. KEMBLE'S Henry was full of the requisite bluster; and told well w ith theaudience. MASON'S Cromwell was excellent. The processions were inure than usually magnificent ; and in act five, the Arch bishop of Canter-burp and the Bishops generally in the procession, were superabundantly hissed, and one of them fell in entering the Abbey, to the no small delight of the galleries, who laughed heartily at the ominous catastrophe. The house was crowded in every part. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY;) HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 56 busses.) CUMBERLAND (LATE ST. JAMES'S.)

' (Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.) 4 , , The LORD MAY OR p resente d hi mself in front' iii 111. 1 " ..-.\ -1 1 1.4 hustings, and was moat enthusiastically greeted. He ateod before the - Livery in the unheard-of situation of an in dividual who had been twice returned by the Livery to the ‘l•ts) Court of Aldermen, of which he himself was a member, c r , so I by whom he had been twice retained as an object oa whom they would not fix their choice.—(Loud cheers.) He should nut presume to dictate to the Court of ` ' Al lermen, who had thought fit to object to him be cause they said the office of Lord Mayor was not a poli tical office. Whether it was so or not, he confidently appealed to the Livery to say whether or not every indi vidual holding that high office had not used it in support of those principles which he advocated in private life.-- (Cheers.) Many attempts had been made to isduce him to withdraw from the contest.—(Load cries of " No, no; you must not withdraw.") If he consulted his own ease and pleasure, he should at mice have yieklid to the application, but he felt that in his own person the rights and privileges of the Livery were concerned—(Cheers)—and he pledged himself to the Livery that so long as it might b e their wish that he should for a second time till the office of Chief Magistrate, and that they should think fit to support him in the struggle for that high honour, so long- he would stand'forward in obedience to their wishes— (Loud cheers)—end never would shrink from their cause until the Livery should prove, by their votes, that they wished him to do so. Mr. CIIARLES PEARSON came forward upon the hust ings amidst sheets. He had a must agreeable duty to per.. form itt singlmg out one of the Court, Mr. Alderman Thompson, and offering to that gentleman the warmest thanks of the Livery for the upright and honourable manner in which he had acted throughout that election. (Cheers.) As the decisio❑ of the Court of Aldermen im post(' upon the Livery the necessity of embarking in another contest, he should take the liberty of pointing out to Sir Peter Laurie what would be the final result of i is most ungracious opposition to the declared will of the Livezy. In 1770 there was a certain Sir Henry Bankes, Knight, sa there was now a certain Sir Peter Laurie, Knight, both of them Tories and Anti-Reformers, and Sir Henry Bankes, like Sir Peter Laurie, braved the opi nions and opposed the wishes of the liberal and public spirited Livery. At the first contest Sir Henry lost the election, as Sir Peter lost his, with a respectable number on the poll.—(Flear,ltear.) Sir Henry, like Sir Peter, came again into the field, and was again, like Sir Peter, beaten, having poll,d no more than 465.—(Cheers.) A third time Sir Henty came up to the scratch, but his s reugth been taken away by galloping consumption, and the poor fellow could number no hive than three dozen votes, just sufficient to show l'.ow contemptible and idiculuus were his efforts to be opposed to those of the Livery.—(Laughter and cheers.) Shortly afterwards the unfortunate and disappointed man went to his grave with out ever obtaining the object of his ambition. His fate could nut, however, be without some use to those who came after him, and Sir Peter could read by the lamp of experience, that if lie imitated Sir Henry's example, he would also meet Sir Henry's calamity.—.(Laught e r and cheers.) The Aldermen might give a little more trouble, but the Livery must ultimately triumph.-- Mr. Pearson then referred to the extravagant and ridicu lous expenses of the Corporation. He condemned in the strongest language the gormandizing and guzzling practices of that body. The dinners given at the Old Bailey he considered a moat disgraceful expense. He thought it abominable that while a poor fellow -creature was undergo.. ing his trial (at the public expense) i❑ Court, for stealing a loaf of bread, there should be tile extreme of carousing going on above stairs, at the public expense also.— (Cheers.) He did not see wily second-rate Judges should be fed at the public expense, when the Lord Chancellor, the first and most laborious Judge in the land, paid all the expenses of his table at home or ahroad.—(Cheers.) Why even the worthy chaplain of Nets gate dined twice a-day, at three and at five, because, as he said, it was his duty , to do sow..-(Laughter.) But all these gross abuses must he removed. The teeth of the Aldermen should be Sled; there nails should be, however, clipped firat,—(Loud cheers.) He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to Alderman Thompson. Mr. Paattsorr stated to the Livery that the Lord Mayor was most anxious that the words " obstinately and indecoroualy," as descriptiv e of the conduct of his brother Aldermen, should be owitted.__(Luud cries of " No, no ; they have acted ' obstinately and indecorously.' ") The resolution was then carried amidst the loudest accla mations. Alderman Ttromrsox came forward amidst the most tremendous cheers. He declared that it would be highly •‘ obstinate and indecorous" in him not to feel most grate ful to the Livery for the very distinguished mark of favour they had conferred upon hin+.—(Alderman Ti:minim, on retiring, received three cheer s. ) Mr. STRYILNS, of Bishopsgate, then appeared, and was loudly applauded. How long the conflict might continue nobody knew, but of one thing there was a dead certainty, --the Livery would fight the battle vigorously and reso lutely to the last.—(lnitnene e cheering, and cries of " No doubt of it ; we'll hash the Aldernieu.") The thanks of the Nall were then voted unanimously to the Sheriffs, and Alderman CoWAN returned thanks for his colleague and himself. The Hall was then about to be dissolved, when there was a loud and general cry of " A rote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for his spirited, vigorous, and independent conduct." It was soutu time before Mr. Stevens prevailed upon the Hall to give three times three cheers for the Lurd Mayor, instead of the vote of thanks, which he declar , cl to be quite unprecedented on such an occasion, as well as liable to considerable objection on the pat t of the Chief Magistrate. The Hall then resounded with acclamations, afterthere whi:hhe Hall w wasanans then dissolvediversalgroanf . or the Court of The LORD CHANCELLOR is expected at Brougham-hall on Sunday. WILLIAM BROUGHAM, th• Mernoer for Southwark, arrived on Sunday last.-_Car lisb• Journal, It is reported that the Archbishop of CAN TER/WILT and Lord HARROWItY are endeavouring, by their friends in the city, to induce the merchants and other in fluential persons there to make some deearation in favour of a plan of moderate Reform. To divide the Reformers is now the aim Of their political opponents ; and if they can, by their friend Mr. fiuwr and others, draw away from the Bill the good wishes of a portion of the It formers, and by exciting an apprehension among the firmer, that Reform will lead to an alteration in tire Corn Laws, they may, undoubtedly, diminish the number of zealous ad vocates for the Bill. The great aim of the honest Re formers should be to unite all parties everywhere in sup-. port of the great and practical measure of Reform proposed by the Government, and thus to defeat the stratagems of their enemies. DRURY•LANE THEATRE.-- King John was las.t night perfortned at this theatre, on which occasion, Miss Plinues performed the part of Constance in a style of very superior excellence. Mr. MACREADY was the King John,. A duel took place on Saturday between the lion. F. GREYILLY, the rejected candidate for Pembroke shire, and J. Joxits, Esq. the M.P. for Carmarthen. They met At Tavern Spite, when Mr. GAZYILLE fired at Mr. Jortss, who dischargedjiis pistol in the air, but would make no apology, stating that the firing might go on as long as his antagonist pleased. The parties were then se parated. USELESS GOVERNMENT OFFICES.—The parade of useless offices is most ridiculous in the counties palatine of Durham and Chester, and the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, arid the principality of Wales. These have ali separate establishments, sufficient for the Government of a kingdom, while their jurisdiction is con ened to a few private estates. There arc Courts of Chan cery, Ecclesiastical Courts, Chancellors, Attorney-Gene rals, Solicitor. Generals, Privy-Counsellors, Registrars, Cursitory, Prothonotaries, Auditors, and all the other mi micry of Itityal Government, They bring nothing into the public treasury, but greatly add to the patronage of the Crown, whose dignity they degrade. In one part of kingdom the Sovereign is no more than Prince of Wo.les; go to the North, and he dwindles into the Duke of Lan aster; turn to the We and be appears in the bumble clisracter of Earl of Chester ; travel a few miles further, the Earl dieappears, and he pops up again as Count Pala-- tine of Lancaster.—Morning Murtild. A pamphlet, published by RIDGWAY, shows incontestably that the Reform Bill was rejected in ti. Lords by the Bishops and representative Irish and Scotch Peers, exclusively, setting aside the votes o f w hi ch th Vaeas - are would have been cart - bed. We cannot improve 'l)e reasoning in the extract on the existence of so strange an anomaly as the fact,. that England is not to have Reform. because it fails to lie the pleasure of the Peerages of Ire land and Scotland.
