The Aldermen met in their private chamber about eleven o'clock, and proceeded in state to the church of St. Lawrence, Jewry, where a . sermon was preach e d b y the Rev. Mr. Watkins, the Lord Mayor's chaplain. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen returned to the Guildhall. soon after one o'clock, and took their station on the hustings. The RECORDER then came forward and stated the object for which the Livery was assembled. The COMMON SERGEANT then read over the names of the several candidates, when the show of hands was called for, and declared by the Sheriffs to be in favour of Alderman Lucas and Alderman Thompson. This, announcement was received with loud acclamations. The Aldermen and Sheriffs then retired, and re turned, after a short absence, when it was stated that the choice of the Court of Aldermen had fallen on Mathias Lucas, Alderman and Vintner, who was thereupon declared duly elected to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The LORD MAYOR ELECT then came forward to declare his acceptance of the office, and was warmly greeted from all parts of the Hall. He returned thanks for the honour conferred on him and de clared his anxi ous d es i re to prese:ve the favourable opinion which the Livery - had so decidedly ex pressed to him. Belonging to the Livery for 44 years, he hoped he duly estimated t!7e importance and responsibility of the office to which he was elected. He would undertake the duties of the office, with a desire to act correctly and impartially, and he, therefore, looked with confidence to the sup. port and approbation of his fellow-citizens. • The Lord Mayor Elect, was then invested with . the chain of office by the Sword-bearer and Mace bearer, and was again loudly cheered. Mr. Deputy PRICE, of Lime-street Ward, then moved a vote of thanks to the late Sheriffs, which "es seconded by Jous CAPEL, M.P., and carried unanimously. Messrs. FAREBROTHER and WINCHESTER (the late Sheriffs) then came forward, and respectfully returned thanks, after which the Livery adjourned. THE MARKETS. -(THIS DAY.) . , ' - COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

We are rejoiced to perceive by the country papers, that the cause of humanity towards those poor little outcasts, the chimney-sweepers' boys, is, though slowly, yet surely, gaining ground upon the pre judices both of sweeps and housekeepers; and, in' spite of the opposition, cunning, and double-dealing of the interested, and the apathy of the hard-hearted, machines for cleansing chimnies are daily throughout the country getting into general use; instead of the child. If the good sense and good feeling of the people of England had not been led too much astray on foreign and Quixotic schemes, this barbarous arul p often fatal .custom of sending children; perhaps, not seven years old, up foul, twisted, and lofty flues —this system of disgraceful domestic slavery, under which young children, If not always stolen, are bought and sold—let and hired—borrowed and lent as cattle, would long since have been totally abolished, and ceased to be a reproach to us as a humane .. . Christian people. At Birmingham, Norwich, Cheltenham, Brighton, Lewes, Hastings, and Portsmouth, efforts are making by benevolent public-spirited individuals to intro duce Smart and Glass's machines into general use. In the last named place, Government might greatly aid the cause of humanity, if the employment of climbing boys in the Dockiard, Gun-wharf, Vic tualling-office, Naval-hospital, Barracks, and Officera' houses were prohibited, by authority, and machines ordered to •be provided by the respective. Boards, presiding over those establishments. WINDSOR, SEPT. 20.—The KING has every day during the present week, taken his regular recreation in his pony phaeton.

ABUSES IN TRADE. (From a Correspondent.) The system' of fraud carried on by many of the shopkeepers of the metropolis, and the de liberate efibrts made to break down the honest tradesman, are aniongst the chief causes that obstruct the improvement of the public morals. The practice which we shall here expose, and which has tended to make bankrupt the fortunes and hopes of hundreds of industrious men, is infinitely more criminal than the dangerous eta. ployment of the pickpocket, inasmuch as it en courages robbery . in its most extensive branches, as much as the calling of the receiver of stolen goods encourages it.' It is only to be lamented that. the plunder attained by the practice is en joyed with impunity, and countenanced by per sons of rank and fortune. It is well known that numbers of individuals purchase goods at Man chester, 'and other manufacturing tow ns , w i t h bills. If, as is most frequently the case, those dealers happen not to be able to take up their bills, there are numerous houses in great busi ness ready to purchase any articles of a vendibl e nature,,whieh they have facilities of sellin g at a considerable' profit. A deduction of 15 o r 20 per cent. takes place upon the goods. They are sent to various cheap shops, as they are call ed, about the town, by the opulent London purchaser, and the seller is accommodated with cash, with which he carries on any game he pleases, regardless of the obligation upon him. embarks without capital, and is of course sure to lose nothing, —no,' not even character ; but at the close of two or three years, takes his natu ral station in the Gazette. In cases of this kind, the manufacturer is directly robbed by the foul conspiracy between the first purchaser and the second. The latter well knows what must be the consequence of a sale so enormously below prime cost, but he coolly accommodates his customer with a recompense, which in the case of a notorious fence would be a testimony, by Mr. Peel's act, of the capital crime. The manufacturer cannot long resist this desperate mode of attack. He fails ; .and the loss then falls upon the merchant who ,imports the raw material, and who finally is ruined through. these atrocious means, while the two robbers go on 'with their trade, and appear every day amongst men of business, without being pointed at by honest men or hunted after by the thief-taker. It is impossible for the fair trader to keep his ground at the west end of the town, while en couragement isgiven by the nobility and g e nt r y to this species of dealing. We know it. to be a fact, that many members 'of the legislature, who insist upon a long credit from their tradespeople, —who will, perhaps, discharge no part of their bills before the expiration of three or four years, —are in the habit of running about with their ready money to the shops which are thus sup plied from the plunder of the unfortunate manu facturer. Nay, at the doors of those receivers are. to be seen the carriages of many merchants and wholesale dealers, who, by countenancing this gross description of fraud, contribute in no slight degree to their own losses and misfortunes. Can it be wondered at that shopkeepers are robbed by those who .are about them, who are witnesses and parties to the transactions we have de scribed ? Often has it happened that an un fortunate shopman or agent, upon being ac, cused before a magistrate. of some petty act of dishonesty, which is vindictively followed up by the prosecutor, as if to gisi the public a high notion of the integrity of the principal, has re taliated by alluding to the nefarious trade of his employers ; and yet hundreds of thousands are daily turned in this metropolis in this manner, while the man - whose capital and labour have been plundered and abused wants a loaf of bread for his family, and seeks refuge in the workhouse, or in the grave. Many of those prosperous vil lains employ persons to assisollem in othei ims positions, which are calculited' - to injure the honest trader. It is notorious that some of the overgrown houses employ manufacturers to ma nufacture goods of an inferior description, to the great disgrace of the boasted manufactures of the nation, and almost to the destruction Of the fair tradesman. It is well known that a tradesman cannot bring out any new article of good quality without exciting, not'an honourable competition, but a base imitation, and drawing after him into the market, which foreign nations are thus en- abled to excel, a commodity of comparatively in considerable value. There is another practice, too, to which the dishonest shopkeeper has con stant recourse. While the tradesman in the city is glad to receive 5 per cent. profit upon the sale of his goods, the west end of the town shop keeper, who is able to give a greater extent of credit, actually pays 5 per cent. and more to the butler or the lady's maid for the custom of the family.. Certain it is, that there are many shop keepers who disdain .to recommend themselves in this way ; but they are invariably losers by the independence Of their con duct. A gentleman of our acquaintance, in describing this practice, stated that his servant came to him one morning, and showing a hand ful of .oats,. said, " Sir, there is no use in deal- : ing, with Mr. A., ,your horses will not eat his oats. Allow Inc' to give an order to Mr. B." This was very odd sort of intelligence, but scarcely had it been given, when our friend re ceived a note 'from Mr. A., regretting that be , could not afford to pay 5 p er . cen t. t o th e g room ' for his custom, and hoping that such a per cen tage would not be sanctioned. But besides this; profit, the servants have other inducements to rccoininerid certain tradesmen. Dinners and balls are given to those pampered menials by their , obliged. servants, th e s h op k eepers , an d no t o ne ot them makes a morning call without tasting of champagne, or hock,- or Burgundy. The power ful effect of, thus bribing the servants is well known to all the shopkeepers at the west end of the town. In wealthy and expensive families, a, principal servant will net 5001. or 6001. a year, by patronizing the tradesmen, and he becomes,' besides, an important member of the family circle, to whops he is associated by the great tie' Of interest. To break up this connection, as well as to discountenanc e the flagrant and ruin= of deriving an enormous pro fi t by: the us i systemiti purchase - of goods of which the manufac turer has been plundered in the manner de scribed, is imperatiVe upon those Who now au thorise or sanction it.

(this day), and on which occasion his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, (who laid the foundation etone of the bridge), was to have honoured the ceremony by his presence, has been postponed for a fortnight in consequence of the road-way being scarcely finished, and the absence of his Royal Highness from town. At the expiration of that period, there is no doubt the ceremony will take place. This morning, about half-past seven o'clock, as• a waterman was crossing the Thames from Billingsgate to Bankside, when nearly half way, be perceived something floating, and, on rowing up to it, discovered that it was the body of a young man, apparently about 18 years of age. He immediately procured the assistance of a fellow water man, and took the body and deposited it in the first public 4 house; there to await the Coroner's Inquisition. In the pockets of the unfiirtunate youth were found several letters, addressed - to penman, of, the first respectability ; amongst which was one to Mr. Win. Bourne, Cheadle Hall, Lanca shire. He was most fashionably attired. INQUEZT ON THE BODY OF THOMAS HAR- Foan.—An inquest was held yesterday on the body of the deceased, before Alderman ARCHISIL, at Stevens's Hospital.

The Court havin g heard the Lieutenant's narrative, and the evidence of several of the officers and seamen, and very rqaturely weighed and considered the same, were of opinion that the loss of the Cynthia was to be attributed to the haziness of the weather, which prevented the low land from being' seen, and the unusaully strong currents which prevailed at the time, and that no blame was to be imputed to the said Lieutenant White, his officers, and crew ; the Court there fore adjudged the said Lieutenant White, the officers, and company of the said packet, to be acquitted.

FIELD SPORTS FOR OCTOBER. (From the Annals of Sporting.) PRE NSANT-SHOOTING, Our readers.need not be told, commences on the first of this month; a month too soon, indeed, as many of th e s e bi r d s do not attain their proper growth before November. Despite this, however, many fall victims to the unfair and unprincipled sportsman, _even during the month of September. Pheasants, by dint of uncommon pre servation, have now become not only common, but numerous, throughout the kingdom ; and though they will, for the most part, cling to the preserves, yet, capricious •in their movements, they will still frequently be found at some distance from them. The best time for pheasant-slooting on. the borders of preserves, is about the middle of October, inas much as these beautiful birds will then choose such haunts, and in them continue, if not much molested, about ten dayi ; when they again' seek the friendly shelter of the wood. As these are young birds, which thus temporarily stray away, it would seem as if the mother bird drove them from her, in the same manner as the domestic hen is seen to get rid of her chickens, " warring 'against Nature still." Pheasant-shooting, considered as a diversion, is not, in the opinion of the writer, equal to partridge shooting. While the ground is thickly covered with vegetation, pheasants may be flushed in all situations; and as long as potatoes and turnips afford good shelter they will frequently .he amongst them; but as the winter advances, the thicker hedge-rows will be sought, and coverts and protecting woods be courted, in which they are readily found, and, by good perforMers ' easily killed. The pheasant flies with difficulty; for instance, if one b. sprung and not killed, but marked down, followed and _sprung again, and if this be more than twice repeated, the bird will scarcely be able to rise with any effect the third time, but may be caught by the dogs. At the same time it should be admitted that the first rushing rise of a pheasant is not a little calculated to try the nerve of inexperienced or commencing sports men. The breed we have reason to believe abundant, though there be ugly reports extant of a disease in the species: Time will show—we remain sceptical. WOODCOCKS will present themselves, towards the latter end of this month, when they sometimes ap pear in considerable numbers; though it is not till the beginning of November that they are met with in abundance. SNIPES are to be seen during the whole year, but generally may be said to be numerous towards the latter end of this month. . COURSING will soon become general ; though hares, at this early period of the season, may be con sidered, if the greyhounds are good for any thing, as very much overmatched. Much, however, depends, in this respect, upon the season, and a good deal upon the country. After a dry,. - bracing, breeding time we have known hares run remarkably well from the middle of October; and upon open, down, and heath countries, where a chivey may be had three miles from covert into it, we have seen young hares puzzle, and sometimes beat, a very good brace of greyhounds. Something must now, also, be con-, ceded to the courser, on account of his young dogs. He, as well as, the fox-hunter, and the keeper of harriers, has puppies to enter, trial's -to make, and hence October coursing (but not sooner) may fairly be admitted. Blood, too, is as requisite to the en couragement and formation of the courage of a grey hound as it is to the entered foxhound; it cub-bunting he necessary to the one, so is moderately early coursing to the other. Unlike a racing colt, the three apecieS of dogs in question can have no fair trial unless the game is afoot before them, except we could train a cunning old fox, or a clever running hare, to mind their points; as Toomer, of the New Forest, did his pig. But advance we. Hunting with the harriers is somewhat dan gerous, till the frosts have so far nipped vegetation, that the leaves begin to fall. Prior to this period, the leaps, or jumps, (as they are more fashionably, but less philosophically, termed), are blind, and, con sequently, the horse is very liable to come down. However, some ardent hare-hunters turn out in September: in October, hare-hunting becomes ge neral. FOX-IIUNTING will commence this month ; though. this pursuit can scarcely be considered in season tilt November: however, like woodcock-shooting, it commences by degrees, gradually swells into the' noontide of its glory, and finishes much in the same: Manner as the bird just mentioned takes leave of this; country. It is greatly to be lamented that no truce can be made between fox-hunters and pheasant shooters, since it has 'frequently been demonstrated . that the two diversions are not incompatible; or,' in other words, that the existence of foxes is not' necessarily the destruction,of pheasants, even in the very same cover. But it would appear that the two diversions generate very different feelings than could be wished for : the fox-hunter is a generous charac-i ter, and nothing gives him so much pleasure as see-i ing his friends, and as much company as possible, with his hounds ; whereas the pheasant-shooter too often eyes, with an unkind jealousy, the' approach of every stranger, and admits only a very select few to share with him in the pleasures of his chase : the one is a very.social, the other, too frequently, an un social, diversion. The writer of these memoranda of the month is not, however, of the numbe r o f t h ose desponding . disciples, who think that fox-h unt i ng Must . expertence annihilation, because a few ill-na tured pheasant-shooters destroy the faxes which happen to stray into their preserves.. Fox-hunting not only must go on, but must go on increasing, since it is encouraged by the principal part of the rank, the wealth, the respectability, the common sense, and the sterling integrity of the country. , Foxes, like hares, will he found very abundant, as the breeding-season has been as fine as • possible ; and, from the. uncommon preparations made at va rious parts of the country, we have not the least doubt but that fox-hunting will be more vigorously pursued the ensuing season than at any former; period. quity the stronger its strength. .

Once more we call, in the most earnest man ner, for attention to the case of th e un f ortunate Spanish exiles. To individual s we appeal. in the first instance, because their impulses of hu manity are active and eager,—because they may be indulged without the restraint of precedent or form, ordeference to any authority ,but- the eotn man& of God, who bids the affluent feed the hungry . , and clothe the naked, and protect the weak, and comfort the afflicted, and . thus lay up for themselves treasures in Heaven. To those who have any thing beyond the satisfaction of their own wants we appeal, because the wants which it' is their bounden duty as Christians, — nay, as civilized beings—to provide for, are ..,so urgent, that not one moment ought to be loit, or can be lost with impunity, either to those who suffer, or to those who fail to relieve distresses utterly unknown to the mass of Englishmen, and, if even describable to their minute and crowded circumstances, too terrible for us to place directs ly before a compassionate eye. The funds which had been raised for the unhappy Spaniards from private bounty, and administered through the Committee, are, we have been informed, at an end, or so near an end, that notwithstanding some new recent subscriptions, scarcely enough remaitis unexhausted for the pittance of a single week. When it is considered that the exiles generally consist of the most respectable families of Spain, since none others were worth the trouble of persecution,—that the most revolting menial services are now and have for years been per formed by the fairest and the feeblest hands, — that children born to eminence and nursed in splendour, are now brought up during their ten der age amidst the sordid and varied miseries of toil and ignorance, of nakedness, disease, and famine,--that patriots and heroes, old and young, are now and have long been withering in hopeless obscurity, like their country unrevenged, and like her unpitied,—that of these men, with their women and children, the noble pride is still so powerful, as to let hardly a moan or murmur escape, proportioned to one-thousandth part of the wretchedness which extorts nee& say no more to show the gentlemen of England what class of mankind it is for whom we demand their sympathy. The Spaniards now s perishing in this land high famed for an aristocracy, rich at least and munificent, spirited and manly, whatever questions may be raised upon others of its qualifi cations, ara as proud of birth, as brave and noble, as devoted to their country, (or they need not have been dying of hunger here), as the best and boldest of the nation to whom they appeal for bread to support, and clothes to shelter them. The lowest rank of tradesmen amongst us have borne their full share of the commot, humanity; with them the mere natl._ Spaniard in their shop is sufficient to reduce the, fair price of every article which they d ea l i n , anik often to obtain for the utterly destitute the ne cessaries of existence gratis. This poorer order of our countrymen have set a fine example to others of the spirit in which " old 'English hos pitality" should be exercised towards the illus trious and houseless stranger. The winter sea son is now advancing on us ; besides the call for immediate and liberal aid, there will then be many a cold hearth to be warmed in the mi serable hovels which contain what once was the flower of the Spanish nation. This, then, is the time to come forward simultaneously, from every quarter of Great Britain. Let committees be formed every where to receive subscriptions for the Spanish patriots, communicating with the central committee in London, remitting to it, and advertising the subscriptions, that it may be known and settled before the inclement weather begins, on what scale and to what extent the system of relief may be undertaken. But it is not from private persons only that we are anxi ous to obtain attention upon this great national subject. The Government, we - have no hesita tion in declaring, have not done half enough for the Spaniards—not one tenth, in comparison with their claims upon this country, of what was profusely lavished upon the French emigrants for a long series of years ; for what claims, i n d ee d, could the latter pretend as persuasives to Eng land, except on the mere ground of general hu manity and compassion ? The French who fled their country were not, like the Spaniards, allies of English policy, partners of English interest in that cause which, wherever ' its banner is un furled, ought to conunand the honest sympathies of Englishmen, whose champions in victory haVe a right to our sword—in misfortune to our open arms and loosened 'purse-strings. It has, we confesS, both astonished and mortified us to see on what jealous principles, and with what a nig gard hand, the pittance of a very feW th ousand pounds E ou u t ro t p o e. these ro unhappy victims victims of the cause of England against her ene - mi e s 0 n at -year continenta dividuals who obtain the hi g hest w eekly alms, just enough is given to keep the human b o d y alive ; for sickness or accident , there is no fund ; and many are sick, and under the aggravation of r was doled o f casual suffering. But in our judgm ent a ll t h e exiles from Spain for freedom's sake ought to be adopted ~ur min as c ister h s iln mdruest know y o te British whthatt Governmentilesearetile only friends of England beyond the realm of England. They must know, that these are the only allies on whom 'we can'at this moment depend ; and if they . do not know, they and all the world can guess, that the time may come ere lon#, when England will l oo k roun d for allies.--..l imes.
