THE LIFE of LORD ELDON, Official and Politcal. Our,produce in the vegetable and fruit way is every day increasing, and acres of land are ontinually breaking up. - Stock is getting abun dant, and we shall soon have plenty of pastu rage for all sorts of cattle. • I shall very anxiously look, for the Report of t h e C o mmissioners lately sent to the coast of Africa. Major Rowan was here, and we became very well acquainted ;, he is, I think, a very clever man, and I slionld be inclined to pay very great deference to his opinions.' The present economy of that coast cannot last, the whole appears to lay .under the curse of God ! That Sierra Leone establishment cannot last—let us give it up, and take to the islands ; England has n o business with such when she can have insular ones. In addition to the horrible un healthiness of that settlement, the whole has got into the hands of an interested, canting, .(or, as the Commodore says) strait-haired set; ~ who, whilst they are crying up their own particular creed and form of religion, are pandering to the depravity of human ,nature for their own profit ; whilst they with their mouths cry down drunk enness, and"describe its baneful effects, they are with their hands dispensing and selling that ac cursed cause of half the miseries on that coast— spirits. The devoted few, whose - shattered fortune and forlorn prospects tempt theth to brave this pestiferous hole, instead of going, like prudent men, to a lawful point of exertion, go with. the text of " Eat and drink, for to-morrow we die," in their mouths and hearts ; and thus leave the' climate but half its work, meeting half-Way the hydra, and throwing themselves madly into his mortal grasp. I have been several times to those parts of the Island Where the sea-swallows (alluded to in one of my earlier letters) congregate for the pur pose of laying and hatching. They are in m yriads on the ground, and when a portion of them rise, which is sometimes the case when they are disturbed, the air is completely darkened with them ; their cries can be heard two miles off. A person riding under them, on those oc casions gets . himself beautifully mottled with their blessings, and by the time he is clear of them, might be said. very. much in appearance to resemble the Spotted Dog in the Strand, nearly opposite to your great establishment. The men eat the eggs, which are in abundance ; they keep a space continually cleared every day ; the poor robbed bird keeps laying, anti:fresh eggs are insured by this way. To give you an idea of the quantities procured, a 'than came in one day with 103 dozen to his own share, and as a con firmation of the predeliction they have for them, one fellow eat 28 dozen at a sitting ; they did, I understand, rather derange his digestives, but not so as to put hint into the Doctors care. We are wretchedly off for any thing in the shape of refined amusement ; music is at a very low ebb, and the performers exeeratle; what we have is the united. produce of dogs, goats, chil dren, asses, and wild birds, of course concerted music, for no one attempts a solo with any pre tensions ro voice or sostenute, but the Colonel's donkey. The bell rings at day-break with the accompanying howling of 15 or 20 full mouthed dogs ; they never fail ; to this succeed the wail ings of children, roused from their slumbers by this unnatural and anomalous mixture of sounds. Those quieted, begin the cryings of a flock of 50 Or 60 tame goats, who have unfortunately established themselves close under our windows kids screeching for their mothers, and vice versa. This serenade lasts about half an hour, till the can collect the whole, an d d r i ve t h em goat-boy :otr to their pasture; we then enjoy a sort of respite till three - o'clock, when the same cere mony is repeated at their arrival ; the moment the sun sinks beneath the horizon, the sea-swal lows begin to pour in, forming an innumerable regiment, further than the • eye could discern ; they pass close over our rooms, diversifying their scream in' fifty different ways, and there are sel dom less than thousands to be heard at one time.

The motion was, upon this very candid and cor rect representation, withdrawn. Lica 62311 der 615.; Alderman CROWDER then proceeded with his motion, in introducing which he considered himself, he said, doing a public duty. The Ward of Vintry had been for some time unrepresented. The election of Mr. Winchester had been declared void, and Mr. Wilde had been legally chosen. The Court had, however, refused to swear in the latter on account of the issue of the mandamus upon the petition of jurisdiction of Winchester, which q ues ti one d th e of the Court. The Court had replied to that issue, and Mr. Winchester had not thought proper to go further in that way. Mr. Wilde, therefore, now ap plied to be sworn in, and in his (Alderman Crow der's) opinion, the claim could not be resisted. " I move, therefore," said the Alderman," that we swear in Mr. Wilde forthwith, as Alderman of. the Ward of Vintry." - • Alderman WOOD seconded the motion. *,* The Index, Titles, &c. with Nos. 25 and 26, form Part VII., and were published on the sane day.

Alderman THOMPSON asked the City Solicitor whether Mr. Winchester - had not proceeded on other grounds against the City of London, and whether the latter had not put in a plea ? The Solicitor replied in the affirmative, and said, that under those circumstances, the Court could not be justified in swearing in Mr. Wild e . Alderman HEYGATE should move an amend ment, the purport of which was, that the Court should not, under the present circumstances of the case, swear in either of the candidates. Mr. Wilde's petition ought to be laid on the table, and then he would stand on the same footing as Mr. Winchester.

Alderman WAITIDI , LN said that the Court had been placed in a dilemma by the conduct of Mr. Winchester, who first questioned their authority, and then abandoned that position. The Ward was ob viously inconvenienced by the delay, which might continue a long time. The only question, however, now was, whether the present proceedings of Mr. Winchester opposed an impediment to the motion, and whether the Law Officers were of opinion that the Court could, without any prejudice to the exist ing proceedings, swear in Mr. Wilde. This opinion would direct him in his vote.

Now, they sell those poor creatures for M. each, and get the vilest trash in payment that can be made ; how soon would those chiefs, who supply the slaves, see the advantage of keeping them to gather gold dust and realizing twenty times the sum they sell them for. I will now come to the means we have of abolishing the Slave Trade; trading with Africa, and keeping a sufficient force to protect all our merchant ships, as well as to be ready to oppose any enemy who may present himself on the American side. Ascension must be the rendezvous for supplying the squadron, St. Helena is too far to windward, Annabon and Fernando Po too near Africa, (the latter out of the question, from its being continually deluged with rains), there is always what is termed a soldier's wind from Ascension to each continent, and either can be reached in nine or ten days, more or less. Now to remedy the geographical disadvantages of the one and the natural defects of the others, I imagine the possession of the three Islands of St. Helena, Ascension, and Annabon, by the British, would ensure them the entire command of the whole coast, and the South Atlantic : what one will not produce, the other does, we cannot, I fear, grow corn, Annabon will, St. Helena will supply water in case we fail. - A steam boat would counteract all the impediments of the trade winds, when opposed to us, and thus an immense mart for commerce would be opened with the power of maintaining a complete monopoly. One Go vernor might have the three Islawis 4 anti visit all alternately with the greatest me t We have facilities for making a dock, or, at any rate a slip ; ships could then be repaired here. Several persons who have examined the place called Comfort Cove, think the making a dock quite practicable ; we can land at this Cove with a jolly-boat during tlie heavieSt rollers, and nature has done a great deal toward the proposed purpose ; indeed, the Colonel is convinced that the settlement ought to have been there instead of where we now are. A brig of war has been hove down in our tray, for 'though we have rollers (the effects of distant storms), we have no storms, they are utterly unknown here. — Cordage and naval stores keep incomparably well here ; we have lately taken the trappings of our crane to pieces, fearing some accident ; but though it had been put up a very long time, the, y a probbl cordage was entirely sound. It is one of the most healthful places in the world, in deed, sickness is a stranger here—be but tem perate, and, comparatively speaking, you are immortal. Our capabilitie s of defence are before Gen. Stapylfon—they are manifest, defended COURT OF ALDERMEN. ' ANOTHER EXTRAORDIN A RY SCENE. . On Tuesday there was a memorable row in this Court. The publication of the debat es , as the Members of the Corporation call the squabbling that so frequently takes place.amongst their Wor ships, wa s one cause; an d t h e i nterm i na bl e case of t h e hsip Aid e rmanshiP of Vintry another. The C ourt had been called, principally for the purpose of con sideringthe propriety of swear i ng i n M r . Wi lde, in the teeth of the mandamus which had been issu e d from the Court . of. King's Bench in favou r o f M r. Winchester. At one o'clock, the proceedi ngs i n the Court commenced, and the storm did not sub side un til s even, a l t h ough it began to rage vehe mently at half-pattivvo. The crowds in th e l o bb y were for hour s i n a state o f f r i g h t an d trep i dation. Sir PETER LAURIE presented a petition from Mr. Winchester, praying that he might, and that Mr. Wilde might not, be sworn in. It disclaim e d all i n tention to question the power and jurisdi ct i on of t he Court, an d confined the clairnS of 'the petitioner to the mere legality of his election, stating, that . Mr. Wild e might have his remedy of quo warranto. He (Sir Peter) agreed with one part of the petition, .—that against the swearing in of Mr. Wilde. Alderman WOOD moved that Mr, Wii,Ae's . peti tion to the last court, complaining of the litigation-, and praying that he should be sworn in as haring been duly elacted, should be read.—(Hear, hear.) — After, N I petition was read, 41errean CROWDER auk.',, I rise to move that Mr. Wilde be sworn in immediately. Alderman l'ilogPsoN.—As the reports of what takes place in this Court, by some means or other, make their way into The Times and other news papers, a nd as unjust and injurious imputation has been cAst upon.. m y motives for the , condnct I have thought necessary to adopt, I must move , b e f ore t h e subject i s fur t h er proceeded i n , t h at t h e doors be thrown open to the public, • Alderman BEYGATE should cert a i n l y second the motion, Ile thought it most extraordi nary t h at ac counts of discussions in that Court got into the newspapers. Some of those report s , h e was aware, were g iven with an accuracy that was rea ll y won d er f u l , while ot h e rs ind u lged in mis re p resentat i ons. The only pl an by which partiality was avo id a bl e was, b y throwing.open the Court at once. Sir R. C. Gl,vs said, that it was in vain to attempt to prevent those things. The public were sure to get at any thing o f a remarkable kind, regarding any public body ; but he objected, notwithstanding the •successful vigilance of the press, to throw open the doors, as such a measure would be contrary to the established usage o f the Court.—(Hear, hear.) Sir JAMES SHAW objected to the motion on other grounds, as well a s on those just advanced. After what had recently occurred on the subject of rescind ing a resolution with Out due notice, he should Aldeaman CROWDER was solely actuated by a sense of duty, and thought, after hearing the opinion of the law officers, that the most desirable course would be, to adopt Sir James Shaw's amendment, to make way for which he would request permission to withdraw his motion. Alderman HEYGATE would not withdraw his amendment. He vehemently objected to the course proposed. It was quite obvious what the meaning and intention of the gentlemen on the other side were. He saw that it was all a manoeuvre and a trap, but it would not succeed. The motion should not be withdrawn either. Here several members said, that the language of Alderman Heygate reflected most improperly upon the Court, and that he had most illiberally and un courteously treated Alderman Crowder, whose con duct entitled him to uniform respect. The charge was retracted and denied, and a con fusion arose such as it would be most difficult to describe. Some said, We ought to refer to the law dicers." Alderman BIRCH.—“ The law officers!" No. Whatever may be their opinions I'll Aet for myself. I am as competent to judge as they. The Lord Mayor was .cidted upon by Alderman Heygate for his opinion, but several cried out that it was..quite irregular to call , upon the presiding Of :ec;intoeddt?o a s s °' ; a his Lortnip might influence others. His Lordship asnyin thing. Aldermen of the kind the bias of Aldermen HEYGATE and LUCAS persisted loudly in the course they had first adopted, although re peatedly urged to acquiesce in the suggestion of Sir J. Shaw. Alderman WOOD then protested against the pro ceeding as most grossly irregular. There appeared to be a want of the common courtesy which is to be observed every where else.—(Hear, hear.)—and he should persist in moving the adjournment of the Court, in order to prevent the improper decision he anticipated from being come to. Here the whole Court rose. Some declared that they would support Alderman Wood's motion of adjournment, and would sit in Court all night rather than allow Alderman Heygate's amendment to be carried.— After several adjournments had been moved and:ne gatived, Sir J. Shaw's amendment was at length put, when there appeared eight for and eight against it. The LORD MAYOR then .gave the casting vote against the amendment of Sir J. Shaw. His Lord ship, however, considered Mr. Wilde's election_ legal Alderman fiEYGATE'S amendment was then )put as an original questi on; b u t it was determined Oat the mover sho u ld b e wear i e d ou t o f his object. — The instant th e q ues ti on was p ro p o sed, up started fo r r e t a s te w st er t e um m u a l d t. made on tA th partlenegth ctit came the whol e of Alderman an Alderman t o move an a dj ournme nt.

Poßos, MAY 21.—As 1 was walking on the Marina the other day, who should I chance to meet but my worthy and noble acquaintance Prince Mavrocordato, the pink-of dandies, as he has been styled by the Very -Rev. Mr. Swan and others. How far he has a right to the name of Prince needs no inquiry, but as to the right of styling this beauty the pink of dandies you shall . judge for yourself. Imprimis, he had on - i foraging cap, a very serviceable kind of #tid e — and certain am I that his had proved so`` or it had evidently seen many summers, iii4nters too. This shallow barely covered; the crown o f his pate; but certainly enabJed,him to ,dippl a y his dark shaggy hair (which I)4:Nears very thick and long behind) to advantages Snip had been more liberal than his. Hi g hness's shallow manufacturer, as you shall` predettly see. He wore a kind of an apology for a su r t o ut—l say apology, because, although he might have put a child of years up each sleeve, and have shel tered a lady under each wing, still it did not descend lower than the bend of the knee. Its colour appears to have once been olive, but I am not certain; for it was so faded that it was scarcely distinguishable. The collar of this said surtout, or rather what Mr. - Snip intended for a collar, was so preposterously large, that it resem bled a bolster more than a collar. This was not its only inconvenience, for, owing to its immense size, it did not fit in its proper place, but hove-to close abaft the nap of his Highness's neck, which made the good-natured Prince look rather de formed.. This surtout, by the by, had also seen A. few summers—in short, it was quite an antique, and no- doubt duly prized by its princely owner. Mr - . Swan is of opinion - that Mavrocordato has his coats from Stultz. I wonder whether Stultz ever thanked him for the compliment. However, to proceed: 'His'waiitcoat (of which I was unable to distinguish the colour) was, in' every respect ,:ave one (its antiquity), the reverse of its prede cessor the surtout--that is to say, it fitted ex quisitely tight. His trousers, which were neither black nor brown, but something between, did not tally with the former bounty of honest Mr. Snip. They were rather tight, and barely covered the upper part of .his ellingtons (Hoby-made, no doubt), the soles of which were about an inch thick, with heels in proportion.. I must not omit his fine Holland shirt, with a ragged-- I beg pardon—l mean a frilled collar, and a yellow cravat, starched a la Brummelli. - Now figure to yourself a man of forty-five, at least, dressed as I have described, about five feet six inches in height, rather stout, with a full sun burnt countenance, prominent features, a large nose, always surmounted with spectacles, a small but penetrating eye, his upper lip crowned by the angry curling mustachios, and " favouris" that would have rivalled Petersham's in his best days. His hair is black, very bushy, and long behind. His squeaking voice is by no means agreeable. He is extremely affable and polite " a toute outrance." He has a very childish laugh, and wears a constant smile on his coun tenance; but it does not set well on his ugly phiz. His manner, in short every thing about him, denoted th e m an o f i n t r i gue . Fi gure t o yourself su c h a p erson as I h ave f ee bl y d escr ib ed, and you m a y beh o ld th e so i di sant Prince, as. he has always appe are d t o me , and you will b e enabled to judge how far he deserves Mr. Swan's epithet. }.e always dresses in European costume, but, 1 .7 a my opinion, is any thing but a dandy. • After the usual compliments had passed be tween us, my noble Prince invited me to walk home and smoke a.pipe with - him. It was early in the forenoon, but no matter, my short resi dence out here has so familiarised me to smok ing, that I would as willingly take a pipe at six A.M. as at six P.M. But even if I had felt any disinclination to a whiff' at that early hour, it would have been entirely overcome by my desire to see. his princely abode. Accordingly I ac cepted his kind invitation, and away we toddled together. We had not many yards to walk, for his Highness's house, or rather the house in which his Highness lodged, fronted the Marina on which we had met. For the first time I himself heard, and that, too, from th e P r i ncess ' s own lips, that he resided in a l o d g i ng -h ouse. I was therestil ln Princess, luo, were e surprised.hthiesister. ter. H sfamilies, when besides He pointed to the house ; it was apparently very small, and only two stories of in height. . I wonder e d more and more. these whe Mavrocordato there were three How ever, we entered, an d h av i ng ascen d e d a flight of dirty stairs, we c ame to a fl at (I t h ought at the t doors.me of sweet Edinburgh),To one pointed, as leading to his suit of apartments ; the, other doors led to the apartments of two different families. The landlord lives below. Having so Ear explained every thing to you, you will please to permit me to proceed. I entered his High ness's study, which was also his audience chamber, his saloon, and his bed-room. There were two other small apartments, one the Princess's bed room (more hie a dog, kennel), and the other a kitch ' en (six feet by f our ) in whi c h hi s High nesss guards, and the Princess's maids, I pre mined, slept, since I saw no other room s , unless they slept in the audience chamber with the Prince. This, of course, I did not ask him, and therefore am unable to satisfy you on that head; but in every other respect, it is truth, and nothing but the truth, on my honour. The furniture in the audience chamber consisted of one chair, one table, (both antiques,) a di van, an d a small piece of Indian mat on the floor. This, on my word, constituted the whole of the furniture in that room. I sat in:the thair,,and the Prince seated himself alongside of his sister, on the divan. The Princess is about four feet in height, ra ther under than. above. She dr e ss e d a l a nayrniotto, is very affected,• lisps a little broken French, i s at least 30, very ill made, has harsh and irregular features; and is " - anything but ladylike and pre possessing. The mother of thismatchless brother and sister was on a visit to another daughter, who is married to one of the leading members ; I had not,- therefore, the honour of seeing her. Our conversation, of course, turned on the state of Greece. Like all other leading men in Greece with whom I have hitherto conversed, he, at tributed the cause of all their ill success t the total want of union :among the Chiefs ; vaunted his own s acrifices, which I verily believe have been great ; and greatly lamented the blindness of his countrymen, in not being able to distinguish true ine,FL hypocrisy. He had a little French-pOodl d took great pleasure in show ing him' dr before his visiters. • • The little creature would run at: .lay all manner o f tr i c k s. I t, was in tit§ t more like a monkey than dog. d a - e•are to be very fond of it. I n my next, I shall give you a short description of this personage's guard, wh o i s always at his waster's heels. He never goes across the street without having this fellow behind him, bearing 1 • his pipe. This, in shOrt, is a custom both in Greece and Turkey,,for gentlemen to have their pipe bearers following them when they walk or ride out.
