After the usual ceremonies before the Barons of the Ex chequer, Jon.; CROWDER, Esq., Alderman, and THOMAS KEL LT, 'Esq., the new Sheriffs, gave their grand inauguration breakfast and dinner, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street. —The company on both occasions was numerous. The imme diate direction of the arraniements had been entrusted to Mr. Under-Sheriff Smith, who had omitted nothing that could pos sibly contribute to the gratification of those present. Every delicacy which could be procured was provided in abundance; the wines, as might have been expected, were of the first order, and the attendance was most excellent. Among the company assembled were—the Loan MAYou, who presided; Mr. Bankes, the Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer ; the greater num ber of the Aldermen ; the Civic Law Authorities; and the lead ing members of the two Companies of Stationers and Plasterers, to which the new Sheriffs belong. After the cloth had been removed, " Non; Nohis Domine," was sung in excellent style by Messrs. Pyne, Taylor, Terrail, Leete, Smith, and Jolley. The Lo an MAT on then proposed— " The King," with three times three.-- 4 God save the King.' " The Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Family."_. 4 Hail, Star of Brunswick.' " The Army and Navy.--" Rule, Britannia." 'The Lowo I yon, after commenting on the important duties of the Chief Magistrate of the City, and obsering that his fellow-citizens had yesterday chosen for that office, one who was most highly qualified to fill it, proposed " the health of Mr. Alderman Venables, the Lord Mayor elect, with three times three." ,11r. Alderman VENABLES returned thanks for the hOnour able manner in which his health had been proposed and re ceived. most earnest wish would be to fulfil the duties of his office to the satisfaction of his fellow-citizens; and he had no doubt, that in doing so he should b.. materially assisted by the very worthy gentlemen who were now about to under take the arduous duties of Sheriff's. Glee—" In sunoner's cool shade." Mr. Alderman VENABLES, in proposing " the health of the present Lord Mayor," observed that he never knew any one who had received more general and unequivocal marks of respect from . his fellow-citizenS.—(Applause.)—The toast was drank with considerable enthusiasm. The Lonii MAYOR thanked the for the very kind and flattering manner in which they had drank his health, and said that he feared the praise bestowed on him by the Lord .Mayor Elect had been as much owing to the partiality of pri vate friendship as to any other cause. Ile had always endea voured to do his duty for the benefit of his fellow-citizens, and he hoped he had succeeded.—(Applause.) —That duty, though always must important, had been rendered less arduous to him than to some of his predecessors, on account of the existing prosperity of the country, which had arisen from the liberal conduct of the present Administration. lie trusted that pros. perity would continue long beyond the Mayoralty of his sue. cessor, and he believed there was every reason to expect that it would. The LORD MAYOR proposed " the health of Mr. Bankes, the Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer," whom he complimented on account of the urbanity of manners and kindness of feelings which that Learned Judge had displayed when acting for his Majesty, in receiving and recognizing the appointment of the present SherifEs. The Cutisyron BARON returned thanks. The LOlMlirod - laid, that the Gentlemen who were now about to enter on the office of Sheriffs, were too well known to their fellow-citizens to need his commendation ; but, if they had 'not been so, the very handsome manner in which they had entertained their friends, this day, would have left no doubt of the way in which they intended to support the hospitality of the city. Ile therefore proposed " the health of Messrs. Crowder and Kelly."—(Drank with three times three, and loud applause.) Mr. Alderman CROWDER, in returning thanks, observed, that the honour he and his worthy colleague had just received, was much increased by the manner in which it had been pro. posed. He was aware of the arduous nature of the. ditties he had undertaken ; but he should meet them firmly, conscious that he was acting under the wish to perform them with pro priety, and to deserve, by his conduct, the approbation of that respectable body—the Livery of London. He had been called on in a manner highly agreeable to his feelings, to act in this office, and he received th e h onoura bl e appoin t m ent with the same hearty good will with whi c h h e b e li eve d it to have been conferral by his fellow citizens.—(Applause.)—in the anxiety to perform his duty, he trusted lie should not be behind any who had before filled the office—he should be desirous of supporting its dignity and its hospitality ; and in the execution of the me lancholy parts of it, he should always be disposed to extend to, the unfortunate and to the criminal the utmost degree of kind.: ness compatible with their circumstances and situation.---(Ap planse.)—He was free from'the fetters of business; he should therefore devote all his leisure time, which was considerable, to the duties of his office; and hi his worthy Colleague, he' was certain he should find a gentleman who would also be dis posed to act with every honourable and liberal feeling. Sheriff KELLY declared that he had not language suffi ciently strong to express his feelings for the very pleasing man ner in which his health had been proposed and received. He . should have feared' to have undertaken the duties of his pre sent office, but for the association of his name with that of gentleman, with whom he was proud of being united as a , ' colleague ; a gentleman whom he had long known, and who was in possession `of all the qualifications necessary to constitute an upright and just .Magistrate, and an honourable man. The worthy Sheriff then expressed his obligations to many of his rellow-citizens, and especially to his predecessors in office, whose example, he said, he should be most happy to follow, certain; if he- did so, he must meet with the approbation of all. He could assure his fellow-citizens,- that among the pleasing duties of the office of Sheriff—that of maintaining the civic hospitality would not be forgotten either by his col league or himself, for that they contemplated no diminution of the splendour and feStivity of their office.—(Applause.)—The City of London w as thn first in dignity and importance, and it was not for the Chief Officers of such a City to dare to neglect to • support that dignity and importance, He concluded by wishing every happiness to the company present, whose health he drank. The Loup MaYon. proposed ",The Magistracy of the City who had passed the Chair." Sir C. FLOWER returned thanks. The LORD illavon. proposed " The health of the Re corder." The RECORDER returned thanks.—Song, " Bacchus, place me near the bowl." The Lout) MAxon. proposed " The Members for Middle sex,". and ill r. EAT) returned thanks. - The Loup MAYOR proposed the " health of 'the late She riff;," which- having been drank; those Gentleman returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR proposed the "health of the.Menibers for the City." •. - - - Mr: Alderman WooD, in retaining thankS, said he should by happy to render an account of his conduct to his fellow_ citizens, who, he trusted, would be so satisfied with him as to return him again.—(Applause.) Mr. Alderman BRIDGES also returned thanks. Several other toasts were drank, and the Company separated at a late hour, highly gra -led with the evening's festivity. We insert the 13r r.r. of FARE ; in order to spew the liberality of the newt'`• Sheriff's, and the ad•nirable arrangement of the Tavern, and we may fairly add, that the practice fulfilled the theory, and nothing could exceed the zeal and attention of the attendant waiters, &c.:— First Course.—Turtle, turbot, salmon, cod, smelts, fillets of Whitings, braized chickens, ham, tongue, oyster patties, French pies, stewed rump of beef, chine mutton, pork cutlets, lamb cutlets, roast turkies, fricandeau of sweetbreads, roast beef, roast chickens, vegetables, &c. &c.

THE MOTHER'S REMNNSTRANCE. . • Hast thou well my counsels weigh'd, Show me not thy gay cockade; — I have watch'd thy tender years, With a mother's hopes and fears ; I should yield thee up with tears. Thou ,would'st only live for fame, - Thou would'st win a hero's name, — But thou know'st not what I know ; • • I have seen the realms of wo, Where the soldier's. laurels grow.— Can'st thou thirst and famine bear, Yet march on with cheerful air? Can'st thou stand the autumn's rain, On a cold and marshy plain, When thy gallant heart is vain ? When thy comrades round thee fall, When 'tis death and tumult all, Can'st thou then untroubled stand, With thy reason at command, To save thy shatter'd band ? Can'st thou die, as soldiers die, Give to . love thy last sad sigh, Then, 'mid dead and dying cast, Feel thy dreams of glory past, Yet contented breathe thy last ? 'Twas thus thy father fell.- 1 could ne'er the story tell— But I see his image now, With the death-blood on hi 4 brow : I surviv'd, I kno* not how.— 'Twas for thee that life was dear,— ' But my words thou wilt not hear ; And the fire, er'n while I speak, Mantles higher on thy check, To repioach my fondness weak.— Oh ! on the embattled field, • May the God of battles shield Thee, the soldier's widow's son !- -Return With laurels won— Or his righteous will be done.

THE THEATRE. COVENT-GARDEN.—M r . WARDE made hi: se cond appearance last night, in Mr. MORTON'S Comedy of Town and Country. The character which he performed on this occasion was Reuben Glenroy, originally represented -by the late Mr. KEMBLE. Mr. WARDE'S talents are of th e graver kind ; but he is also capable of throwing a con siderable degree of energy into his exertions. Lie was, perhaps, a little too boisterous in some pas sages, but on the whole was impressive. He wa,s well received. The rest of the Comedy derive(' great support from FAwcETT, BIANCRARD, Mrs DAVENPORT, and Mrs. Gtnes; Imt it is too well' known to 'require any critical detail on the pre sant occasion.

THE GREAT SHIP BARON OF RENFREW. QUEBEC, Auo. 23.—The Baron cf Renfi c:o weighed anchor, and was towed from the place which was occupied near the falls of Montmorency, on Tuesday last, at noon, by the steam-boat Hercules. The tide was about half-flood when she got under weigh, and she proceeded slowly round the; west point of the island of Orleans, and disappeared behind the Point Levi at a quarter before two o'clock. She was accom. panied beyond the point by the Malsham steam-boat, and the Laween steam ferry-boat, with parties of ladies and gentlemen from town. The Malsham had on board the band of the 611th regiment, which, as well as the parties on both steam-boats, went on board the Baron, the decks of which were crowded with people. The steam-boats having again taken their company on board, left her behind the point, proceeding in tow of the Hercules, which will only leave her at Bic. The wind ivas up the river during the whole time the Baron was in sight, from her leaving her anchorage ground. She however hoisted her • sails, hauled close to the wind, and seemed several times to gain on the Hercules. The sight was grand, as she came abreast of the point of the island ; her whole length, about 300 feet, being then seen from town, and her four masts crowded with sails. The Hercules a-head, and the Malsham alongside, with the Lawzen astern, appeared little better than long boats, when they arrived in the rear of the rock of Point Levi, the Baron's masts and sails still towered above the rock, and were visible at each side of it. In the foreground there were about 40 or SO ' Indian wigwams, and numerous Indian canoes, one of which, after landing three passengers, an Indian was carrying on his head up to high water mark ; thus offering in one t ie•.v the largest ship in the world, the perfection of the til)plication of steam to navigation, and the first and certainly a, most ingeni ous effete of man in the savage state, for waver-conveyance. It is not probable that any other vessel of the siz,, of the Baron of Renfrew will be built for some time. • The public interest taken in this ship has been nearly as great as in the Columbus. The amount of her cargo in tons is 9,515. If Cie measur.ment of the Baron is about 3,000 tons, and taking the usual Quebec allowance of 3,900 feet in the rough fin. every 100 tons measure. ment, there will be Upwards of 6,000 tons of timber wrought up in the construction of this floating fabric. The Baron was at anchor at the East end of Crane Island at 11 o'clock last night. DREADFUL A FFII Ar— Limerick, Split. 21.—1 hasten to send you an account, as far as I have been able to col lect the particulars, of a dreadful affray which occurred in this county, at a place called Dromen, about 17 miles from this city, yesterday. On that clay a fair was held, and two parties, who have been the authors of most of the outrages which have dis graced this county, called the three and tour year old boys, inflamed against each other on accounf . of some private quar rel, selected this occasion, when they could best muster their forces, to have a pitched battle, and bring the- matter to a deci sive result. On the night before the fair, the four-year-olds coitected all their forc es a t a pl ace called A thalacey, within about a mile of the fair-green, and appeared to be well provid ed with tire-arms. There they waited till about noon of the following day, when they proceeded in good order towards the fair-green, distinguished by white handkerchiefs tied. round their heads, dressed as lightly as possible, and bare-footed, so as to be better able to secure a retreat, if necessary. In order to throw their opponents, the three year old boys, into confu sion, who were drawn up in battle array on the brow of the hill, they drove a parcel of bullocks before them ; b u t t h e L itter , b y the order of their leader, made a retrograde movement, and covering themselves behind a wall on their left, allowed the cattle to psi. The four-year olds continued to advance, and commenced firing, which was hriSkly returned by the three year olds behind the wall, who had also no lack of arms. The captain of the four-year olds being killed in the advan c e, the courage of hi s p arty gave way. Disorder and confusion ensued, anti they commenced a retreat. The commander of the other party taking advantage of this circumstance, ordered them to fall upon the fugitives. The pursuit was tremendous, and all who were overtaken, and did not cry out for quarter, were killed or wounded. One man was so closely pursued, that finding no chance ,of escape, he turned round and shot the pursuer, but not till a ball had been driven through his own hat. Eight men were killed, and a number wounded, some of whom are still in danger. The exact loss is not yet ascer tained, and it is therefilre probable that this affray has been still more disastrous is its consequences. It is dif f icult to imagine how they could have teen so well provided with fire arms ;_ but I have be e n t o ld pl enty o f money h as b een sub scribed at both sides to procure them. I ,understand that neither the magistrates nor the police interfered; yet there are plenty of both in the neighbourhood, and the latter generally attend at fairs to keep the peace. The scene was in prepara tion for hours before it commenced, and when it must have been rumoured about, why not then interfere, and thus prevent the fatal consequences which tbllowed ? This is a matter re. quiring investigation, for it' the facts he as I have heard, it furnishes an instance of a most gross dereliction of duty on the part of the magistrates and police, which deserves the highest censure." His Majesty's ship Herald, with Lord DAL. noustE and suite on board, was all well off Bird Island the sth of September, bound to Quebec. It is understood that Bold tt is about to pro ceed front Colombia to this country, for the be nefit of his health, having applied to Congress and obtained permission so to do.—(Liverpool Paper.) $ i
