LORD MAICOR'S DAY.—Ulltit the year 1214, the Chief Magistrates of London were appointed for life. The title of Lord, in addition to that of Mayor, was first granted by Richard 11. to \Valworth, who slew Wat Tyler. The city of York, also, has its Lord Mayor ; and his wife, or daughter, (as the case may be) retains the title of lady ever after. Before the alteration of the style in 1752, the Lord Mayors of London came into office on the 29th of October, on which account it would seem that, ever since 1800, the Lord Mayors Day ought to have been held on the 10th of November, instead of the 9th ; the difference between the dates of the old and new style being now 12 days. KING OF BAVARIA.—ThP following curious anecdote is related of the present King of •BAVAIi lA, by the supposed Noble author of a recently published work, called the " English in Italy."--" Pray who may that contented personage be, inclined towards his fair neighbour, and ga thering with difficulty all that she utters for his edifica tion ?" " That (replied he, of whom the question was asked) is the Prince of Bavaria, deaf, unfortunately, as a post, and so necessitated to have every word addressed to him interpreted by the familiar voice of the Countess of Flo-- into his ear. He is her Cavalier by right of the Thrasymene Canal." " How may that be ?" Why, you must know, that some two hundred years since, the Count's property on the banks of the Thrasymene was overflowed by the said lake, be yond his power of freeing it from the inundation ; such an ex pence could only be undrgone by the Government. But the Popes, since then, have been inexorable, till the friendship of the Bavarian promised to procure the said canal to be cut, through his interest with his Holiness. il The canal was cut, the estate drained, and behold the Prince the Cavalier of the Countess." A RIDDLE.—The following- Itionr.t: is said to be the last product of SHERIDAN'S witty pen :—" Sometimes with a head, sometimes without a head ; sometimes with a tail, sometimes without a tail; sometimes with head and tail; sometimes without either, and yet equally perfect in all situa. tions!"—Answer, a Wig. HISTORICAL FACT.—It has been long a ru mour that General BRannocic was killed by one of his own men. This is placed beyond doubt, by the statement of one who could not be mistaken. Braddock, during the battle in which he lost his life, ordered the provincial troops to form a column. They rather chose the Indian mode of fighting, from behind the shelter of a tree. Braddock, in his vexation, rode up to a man, by the name of Fawcett, and cut him down. Thomas Fawcett, a brother of the killed, learning the manner of his , death, watched the opportunity for revenge, and shot Braddock through the body, of which wound he died. Thomas Fawcett is now, or was lately, residing near Laurel Hill, and is about 95 years of age.—(Newburypart Herald.) SPORTING. CAMELFORD ANNUAL HUNT MEETING, Nov. 5.

COURT OF CIIANCERY (This Day.)--This being the First Day of Michaelmas Term, the LORD CDANCELLOR came to Lincoln's Inn Hall at half-past ten o'clock, and was occupied in his private room for some time, until the arrival of the Judges and high Law Officers. After the usual repast, the Judges at the Courts below took their departure for Westminster, in procession, and opened their respective Courts. There was a more than usually numerous attendance of spec• tators at Lincoln's Inn Hall, to hear his Lord ship's promised judgment in the case of Wellesley Pole v. the Duke of Beaufort.—After some ob servations from the Loan CHANCELLOR, in the course of which his Lordship intimated that the Court would not suffer the children to go-out of the jurisdiction of the Court, his Lordship gave leave to Mr. HART to present a short petition, and ordered that both should come on for argu ment on Wednesday morning. The Court was crowded to excess. RISE IN TIIE PRICE OF BEER.—The publicans have received notice front the Brewers that the price of Porter has been advanced ss. per barrel. The Gazette of Saturday contains an unusually long list of bankruptcies. Including four an nounced from the office of the Secretary of Bank rupts, they amount to no less than 33. The first meeting under Mr. S. WILLIAMS'S Commission was held on Saturday at Guildhall, when several creditors attended to prove their debts. This failure, which has excited so much astonishment and alarm in the com mercial world, is not likely, it is said, to be attended with the disastrous effects at first apprehended from it, but, on the con trarp, a very large and speedy division is expected to be made among the creditors, and a very slight deficit ultimately ex perienced.--( Morning Paper.) MiSS S. BOOTH after an absence of six months, and a very successful tour through Scotland, has returned to the Metropolis, where we hope to see her talents soon employed for the gratification of the public. D'EGYILLE, we understand, has been very suc cessful in Paris in strengthening the Corps de Ballet at the King's Theatre for the ensuing sea son, by the engagement of several very useful dancers. The Opera is intended to be opened about the 17th of December. BOCHSA is engag ed to compose the music for the ballets. PEG WOFFINGTON, the celebrated comic ac tress, and friend of HORACE WALPOLE, was the original Lady Randolph in IlomE's Tragedy of Douglas, as performed at the Theatre Royal, Covent-garden. BARRY played Douglas, and Old Norval was personated by SPARKS. Miss FOOTE is in treaty with the Manager of the Bath Theatre, and from thence she goes to Ireland. ABBOTT, the Lessee of the Dublin Theatre, under Mr. Timm's, has concluded a most advantageous engagement with her. - The carriage of Mrs. DARNLEY, Lower Gros venor-place, was turned over yesterday afternoon at Knights. bridge, by coming in contact with a Brentford stage, in endea vouring to avoid a Gentleman's carriage. Three Ladies were in Mrs. Darnley's carriage, and one of them bled profusely from the nose and mouth, and with this exception the accident passed over with alarm to the other Ladies only. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, Nov. 6.—Wind W.S.V.—Some letters, brought by the Ogle Castle from Bombay, have been picked up outside the Goodwin Sands by the !Era cutter of Dover. It has been blowing strong from the W.S.W. with thick weather until noon, since which it has moderated.

FALmouT LT, Nov. s.—Wind S.W.—Arrived the Marshal, Birch, from London. Sailed the Osbourne packet, for the Mediterranean ; and his Majesty's Pandora, Harlequin, Dis patch, and Victor, on an experimental cruize. LIVERPOOL, Nov. s.—Wind W.S.W.—Arrived the Stag, foi Pernambuco ; and the Atalanta --, from Zante. The Greek man-of-war Cymone sailed from Gravesend yes terday, on her return to hydra. _ _ - - - The New Braganca, Anderson, from Dublin to London, and the Spring, Flower, from Memel to Milford, were driven on shore near Padstow on Thursday, and it is feared will be lost. Arrived off Weymouth the Susan, Plundell, from St. John's, N. 8.; and the Friends, Pitt, from Seville. Arrived off Dover the Providence, -, from Valencia; and and the Lively, Boyle, from Chesme. THE COMET STEAM BOAT.—Every thing was in a state of preparation to raise this unfortunate vessel, and the weather being mild and favourable, it was confidently anticipated that she would have been got up yesterday. As they were proceed ing, however, to carry the necessary operations into effect, about eleven o'clock forenoon, being then ebb tide, one of the chains slipped so much that the work was unavoidably suspended, and could not be resumed till the next ebb tide, last night about eleven o'clock, when it is expected the Comet will be got up. No more bodies have been found at the date of our latest ac counts, nor has any particulars of interest, regarding any of the unfortunate sufferers, transpired since Thursday.—(Glasgow Courier, Nov. 5.) LONDON MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 7. Last week's arrivals of British Corn were moderate, but there was a very large supply of Irish Oats. There is only a mode. rate quantity of samples fresh up this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and a few more vessels fresh up from the North with Oats. Wheat, except very fine, sells heavily, at rather lower prices than this day se'nnight. Barley that is fine obtains rather more money, hut other sorts are ex tremely heavy in sale. Beans fully support last quota tions. Boiling Pease arc further declined 2s. to 4s. per quar ter; Grey Pease also are Is. per quarter lower. Oats are plen tiful, and yet the sale continues tolerably free for good parcels. In Flour no alteration.

Ni.:w PARLIAMENTARY MEWS.—The inclosed ground behind Great George-street, Westminster, will be oc cupied with an entirely new Mews, destined for the accommo dation of the Members of both Houses of Parliament during the Session. Such a receptacle for their horses and carriages has long been desired by the great body of our Representatives, who hitherto have either been under the necessity of exposing their horses and servants to the inclemencies of the weather, night after night, or else of ordering their carriages home un certain of their return, while going to and fro, to a great dis tance, at unseasonable hours. The present Mews will also he fronted with a durable stone, so as to constitute an ornament to Westminster, where so many great improvements have latterly been accomplished, and where still further are likely soon to be effected. NEw STREET.—A general meeting was held on Saturday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to receive the re port of a committee appointed some time since tir the consi deration of the best means of opening a communication from Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, to Pickett-place, in the Strand. Sir JOHN Pain., Bart. was in the chair. The report of the committee, it appears, is highly in favour of the under taking, which they consider likely to be both useful to the public and beneficial to the subscribers. It is proposed that the houses on each side of the street to be formed shall be divided into chambers, after the manner of the Inns of Court, there be ing a very great demand for that species of accommodation, not only for professional men, but for various other persons. The expence of making the opening, which will be 133 yards in length, and of erecting the houses, &c. is estimated at 210,0001., and the annual income to be derived from it at 12,0001. A va riety of resolutions were passed on the subject of the under taking itself, and on the mode of applying to Parliament for a Bill to carry it into effect. Trustees were appointed, and the meeting dispersed, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman. FIRE AT MESSRS. HURST AND ROBINSON'S, BOOK SELLERS, PAL L-MALL.—These magnificent and extensive premises, which open both into Pall-mall and Waterloo-place, were, on Saturday noon, about one o'clock, discovered to be on fire. It appears to have originated from an immense stove or apparatus erected on the basement of the building for the purpose of preserving that part of the premises, which is used as a warehouse for books from damp and of heating the upper part of the house by flues, which communicated warm air into the difTerent rooms. Such presumed precautions had been taken against the chance of fire, and such was the con struction of the stove, that no fear of its safety had hitherto ex isted. However, much blame appears to be attached to the person who erected it ; for the iron roof of it, not being suffi ciently guarded from the inflammable materiels of the build ing, becoming heated, gradually charred the rafters and beams above it until they burst into ignition. The volumes of smoke rising through the crevices of the floor and the apertures of the flues immediately communicated the danger -.which was prompt ly and fortunately arrested by the clerks and assistants of the establishment, by tearing up the flooring and extinguishing the fire with water. The room in which the fire occurred had only a few days before been completed in the decoration, an d was hung with many valuable paintings, among which was a Guid o , estimated at 900 guineas. These, with . the entire stock of th e splendid work entitled .[fusee Frangrazs, recently purchased in Paris by Messrs. Hurst and Robinson, which was a l so depo sited in this room, escaped all injury. Had the fire continued unobserved ten minutes longer, the property of this room, worth between 20 and 30,0001., must have been destroyed. TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Nov. 7, 18'25. [NEW TtmEs.] 'The Brazilian Treaty calls for more extended observation than our limits permitted us to make, when we laid before our readers that important document. What we peculiarly rejoice in, as Englishmen, is that a negociution, so prolific of beneficial consequences, so candid, so liberal, so magnanimous, has been carried on under English auspices, and has received from English Coun sels its manly and upright characteristics. It re. quires but little experience in the diplomatic productions of the present day to be convinced that the whole scheme of this treaty proceeds from the advice of a Statesman to whom Eng land looks up with admiration. It bears the stamp and impress of Mr. Canning's miud. It goes straight forward to its end, and attains its object in the simplest manner : we have not hitherto seen any transaction purely continental which could with justice be thus described. King John IV. we believe to be a mild, paternal, patriotic Sovereign. Yet as a Monarch he must naturally have felt unwilling to divest himself of an authority handed down to him from his ances tors, and probably his Portuguese Ministers were still less inclined to give up a source of future influence and profit. It requires therefore some disinterested adviser, on whom the King of Por tugal could rely, without hesitation, for the most friendly counsel, to be able to point out to that Monarch the path of a wise and dignified policy. Fortunately such an adviser was to be found in England, the ancient and steady Ally of Portu gal, her Protector, her Liberator! Fortunately too the foreign policy of England was in the hands of a Minister who would not hesitate to speak the truth, and the whole truth (though doubtless with all the deference and respect proper on such occasions), in regard to the com mon interest of the Monarch, and of both the nations who had been subject to his sway.— Brazil had been a Colony of Portugal ; but that day was past. She had become an independent nation, and she had become such by the act of King John himself. She had encountered (as Portu gal had done) the attacks of a democratic faction, and had been preserved from becoming a victim to those attacks by the ability and energy of her present Emperor. She was preserved, too, for the House of Braganza. Nothing but a blind and short-sighted policy could have put anew to hazard the Brazilian Monarchy, for the vain hope of rendering it once more a dependency of the Court of Lisbon. If a war had ensued, it might have ended in depriving King John and his Son of their thrones : at all events it would have been a war inauspicious, unnatural, inglorious. In the name of the King of England, arguments such as these, could not but command attention. A Mi nister like Mr. Canning, we may be assured would direct their application with the utmost skill : and Sir Charles Stuart evidently acted his part with a delicacy and firmness which insured its success. When we see invested with the double character of Ambassador for the mediat ing Power, and for one of the High Contracting Parties, we cannot but feel proud that it was an English Ambassador that received so rare a mark of confidence. Thus have two Sister Nations been reunited in the bonds of friendship thus has the Father been reconciled to a beloved and well-deserving Son : thus have we preserved two Allies, and entitled ourselves to the esteem and gratitude of both. `lgnorant and factious writers may call a Treaty, pregnant with such beneficial consequences, " trash," " waste paper," " ab solute nothingness"—but future ages will look upon it as one of the noblest triumphs of diplo macy—a most honourable exercise of the influ ence of Great Britain—and a splendid memorial of the talents of Mr. Canning. [TII E TI M ES.] The boisterous state of the weather has pre. vented the arrival of the Paris Papers of 'Thurs day and Friday, which were due last night. Those of Tuesday are full of discussion concerti. ing the causes of the late change in the Alinistry of Spain, and the consequences to which it may lead on the domestic affairs and foreign relations of that kingdom. There can be no doubt that such a revolution was not expected so soon though it was evident that a crisis could not much longer have been delayed. The late Minister, M. Zia, was almost forced upon the King by the influence of his Allies, by the intrigues of his own friends, and by the miserable re sult of the measures of his predecessors. He was conceived to be a man of ability and knowledge, and had expressed himself with more moderation on politics than could well have been expected from a Minister of Ferdinand. His moderation, however, was one of the cases of his fall. As he refused to go all the lengths of the fanatical party, he was therefore from the com mencement of his Ministry obnoxious to the church and the leading courtiers ; and as, from the very nature of his situation, he could not obtain the support of public opinion in a country where there was no public, he was obliged, in order to maintain himself in place, to oppose intrigue to intrigue—to manage Ferdinand by bribing his camarilla—to make a compromise with wrong, when he could not carry what he thought right— and to render ineffectual the measure of one day, by the promulgation of a modifying or counteract ing decree on the morrow. His almost total want of personal influence, of family connexions, or of party support, made it necessary for him to Con sult the caprices of those whose erroneous views and mischievous passions he should have been able to controul, and thus rendered,it impossible for him to observe any consistent Hite of cbnduct in attempting to restore public credit or to sup. press dangerous disturbances. Hence, while on the one hand, by his supposed constitutional ten dencies, he excited the revolt,and was obliged to punish the treason of Bessieres, his vacillating mea sut4,s led equally to the unjust prosecution and cruel murder of the Empecinado. Hence he was under the necessity of thundering decrees against masonic aprons, and sending troops to besiege rebellious convents. Nay , in his impartial zeal to give offence to every party and to retain the friendship of none, it would appear that a body of persons calling themselves " Defenders of the Faith and of the King" being lately de tected at Grenada in possession of secret sym bols, were ordered by him to be tried and exe cuted as Freemasons. Sufficient evidence was said to have been sent to Madrid to prove that the place where they met was not a lodge, that the badges which they wore were not masonic, and that the objects which they had in view were more serious than those generally discussed in the con claves of the craft ; but the order was peremp tory, and the " defenders of the faith" suffered as masons. By being himself su pected of libe ralism, he could not venture upon putting down the rebellion of fanatics, without at the same time proving by sacrifices on the altar of despotism, that he was ready to support the faction whose furious excesses had alarmed the fears, and endangered the throne of his master. The Duke of Infantado, who succeeds M. Zea, is of a very different character. lie will in general be the ready instrument of the priest hood, and may thus longer oppose salutary re forms; but as the church can place reliance on his zeal, they will more willingly listen to his counsels. lie will, in fact, possess more power to execute moderate measures, if so inclined, than his predecessor: and if ever any portion of the property of the church is to be mortgaged for the relief of the nation, the proposition is more likely to be heard with favour from him than from any other Minister. It is needless, however, to speculate on what may happen a week hence in such a country and Court as that of Spain. The Duke of Infantado is said to be disagreeable to the French Cabinet. Let, then, M. de Villele threaten to withdraw French bayonets, and what would become of the Duke and the camariila! [MORNING .POST.I. The tempestuous weather which has again prevailed since our last, has diminished the num ber of arrivals from foreign ports, and we much fear that the next advises from the coast will afford fresh causes for sympathy and sorrow. The Brussels Papers in general reach us in little more, and sometimes in less than two days ; but in consequence of the difficulties of the crossing, only those to the 2d instant, have yet come to hand. They contain but little intelli gence ; but that little is not without interest. The Austrian Cabinet had dispatched an Extra ordinary Courier to London, with a note in re ply to that sent to Vienna by us, relatively to the affairs of Greece. The nature of both com munications is of course not positively known ; but enough transpires to show that there is not a perfect unity of views on this important subject, between the two Courts and Ministries. The po litical system of Great Britain, with respect to Greece, it is avowed, differs in many points from that hitherto adopted by the Austrian Adminis tration, " ptincipally in what concerns the future emancipation of the Peloponnesus, independent of the supreme authority of the Porte." From this it would appear that our Government had re commended, or proposed, the erection of the Morea into a separate and wholly independent Principality or State, instead of that kind of imperfect and bastard independence nomi nally possessed by ‘Vallachia and Molda via, whose only ad vantage, if it be one, is to be ruled and taxed by Native Satraps acting in strict obedience to the dictates of the Porte. That such a condition would not suit a people, who had de facto atchieved their com plete liberation from the yoke of the oppressor, till European Governments lent countenance and ships to their enemies, and thus con!rihuted to convey invasion, slaughter, and desolation to their shores, is both natural and evident. The Bar. barians, whom Christian complicity has lodged in the heart of the Peloponnesus are neither so numerous, nor possessed of so many strong places as those whom the first efforts of the Moreans drove away or exterminted. They will receive no farther aid from European treachery, for that treachery has been ex posed,and its recurrence would not only bring double execration upon its authors, but would justify immediate and effective counterac tion on the part of those Powers to whom Greece has appealed for justice and protection. The present state of the Morea is therefore no bar to its being acknowledged independent ; for if the contending parties be fairly left to themselves, not many months will be required to clear the country a second time of its invaders. Under these circum stances we cannot but think that the following com munication from Vienna is substantially correct in its statements ; the more so as it shows on the part of the Austrian Cabinet an obstinate wish to cling to its anti-hellenic policy to the last, and to withhold its consent even from the godlike measure of mediating between foes, until it finds that it stands alone in the cause of usurpation against legitimate possession ; of barbarism against . civilization ; of Mohammed against Christ. [MORNING HERALD.] WE are glad to hear that the Ministerial Scheme Shares for rearing silk worms, and in creasing silk goods in Ireland, are not likely to be filled up by the credulous. We deprecate all interference or meddling on the part of the Mi nistry with trade of any description. All that the Ministry of any country has to do is to pro tect people in the possession of their property. And as to trade, the more it is left to take care of itself the better. If the Irish people import silk from Italy they must pay for that silk in butter, salted fish, or some other Irish produce ; and it matters not to Ireland whether her people be employed in producing butter and salting it, or curing fish for the Catholics of Italy, and ex• porting it to Italy in payment for silk ; or whe ther the same number of hands be employed in the production of mulberry trees and silk worms, and in the weaving of silk goods. The old stupid principle of producing every thing within our selves is fast dying away; and the principle of " If you import a commodity, yon most export a commodity in payment," is fast superseding it. If there were no imports there could be no exports, except gold only were received its payment, and gold, beyond a sufficient quantity for the purposes of medium s or making into
