Meeting pretty well knew him,—(Laughter)—al thoUgh not bred and born in the ward. It was said that. he (Mr. Hunt) had not paid scot and lot, but when he had three shops in the ward, he always paitl all just demands made upon him.—(Cheers.)---- With respect to non-residence, he had taken a house in the ward, and slept in it last night, and he then had the kg in his pocket. He thought the former re presentatives ought not to dictate to the Meeting whom they should choose; on such occasions a man should look to himself.—(Hear.)—Mr. Hunt then alluded to the sale of the office of Secondary, and of the illegal exactions made upon the citizens, and said that the worthy Alderman was to blame for not in terfering when Sheriff of London. The Chairman repeatedly called Mr. Hunt to order, and he at length concluded by observing, that if they elected him he would do his duty, but he would not interfere with their respective localities. A poll was eventually demanded, at the close of which the numbers were as under : M r . Tickner 27 Mr. Blackett Butterworth 25 I Beckwith l6 •Bousfield. ..... .

The names were read over, and the late officers were then returned. BISHOPSGATE WARD. At three o'clock this wardmote was held. The resolution, stating that it was the duty of the whole sale dealers in the city of London to take up their freedom, and to serve the usual offices, was received with much applause, and it is expected that some measure to enforce the same will be speedily adopted. The candidates for the office of Common Coun cilmen were as follow, and the number of votes affixed : Sir William Rawlins ... 33 I Mr. Bennett 3O Mr. Day 32 I Clarke '3O Deputy Greenaway 32 Weston • 29 I Duddell ' 32 Stirtevant 29 John Dowler Stephens 3l Thomas Windus... 24 Brynon Peacock 3l I • The LORD MAYOR had stated, upon the show of hands, that the election had fallen upon all the can didates except Mr. Patten and Mr. Hoare ; in con sequence of which a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Fatten. The contest, it is supposed, will be carried on with spirit. CASTLE-BAYNARD WARD. A Wardmote was held before Joshua Jonathan Smith, Esq., Alderman of the Ward, at St. Mary Magdalen's Church, Old Fish-street, at two o'clock. The routine business of electing constables, in quests, and other officers, being gone through, the following inhabitants were elected to represent the Ward in Common Council for the ensuing year : Mr. Deputy Farrance Mr. Lovegrove Slade Flemings Newbon Fenton Pellatt Evans Hoppe Toplis. This Ward returns ten. It was thought that a new candidate would have taken the field ; but, on mature consideration, it was not thought prudent to disturb the peace of the Ward. LITERATURE. humanize and soften his genius by study ; at present he is only half tamed, for the marks of self-taught mind arevisible in every page. Let him despise the flimsy sophistry of those who would persuade him that a poet has nothing to do but with nature ; even nature itself (whatever Mr. Wordsworth may advance to the contrary), as far as man is concerned, is worth nothing whether morally or intellectually, until sub jected to the purifying process of art. Our vices only are natural—our virtues we chiefly owe to art. This is not perhaps saying much in favour of our species; nevertheless it is just as true as that Sir Thomas Lethbridge is no Demosthenes. Let Mr. Cordingley then go through that course of reading most congenial to his taste, and remember that nothing great (not even in the wildest display of imagination) was ever yet produced without labour. The same toil that has made Mr. Brougham what he now is, differently directed, has also rendered Milton immortal. Should this appear too common-place and anti-poetic a doctrine, we can assure Mr. Cordingley still further, that Moore, the poet, is one of the best divinity scholars now living, and that even in his best poetry he has derived in finite assistance from such information.

FITFUL FANCIES. By WILLIAM KENNEDY. London, 182'7. Though we do not think; with the " Literary Gazette," that this gentleman is within two degrees of a positive prodigy, yet there can be no doubt that he possesses' considerable poetic feeling. His chief defect" is a maudlin affecta• tion of hypochondriasm----a splenetic moodiness' that professes to despise mankind, eschew cities, and reverence solitudes. Now all this, under any circumstances, is absurd—palpably so—but , how much more is the folly increased, when it springs from the pen of the Editor of a County Newspaper ; whose very vocation implies tact— shrewdness—commerce with the world—and above all a ready faculty of identifying himself with all, whether good or bad, that is going forward in this bustling hemispheres ? Were Mr. Kennedy that wretched creature—a man of fashion cursed with five and twenty or thirty thousand a year, with nothing better to prevent ennui than a fox chase, a dog-fight, or an after dinner bet, as to which of two maggots, just eloped from a nut shell, could run quickest (without breaking into a gallop) across the table—there might be some excuse for him. As it is there is none. With the exception of this defect Mr. Kennedy is a very impressive writer. There is a wildness about his fancy, that at times gives it a striking air of originality—en voici. EPITHALAMIUM. Press thy hand to this heart, love !—it feels like lead ; I am weary of walking a journey of pain ; I'll smooth my earth-pillow, and lay down my head, And sleep, not to wake in this bleak world again, Till the trump of the archangel peal through the gloom, And break, with its echo, the trance of the tomb. th e .: eir er easure 1 ":10 olutions se ntiett o w there - t M r' y O P. i t t hst 0 . 4 anpool. te .o vas OrPl3°"ti • p unted , in 1825. for John Murray, Albemarle-street. 71'13d ti a Y ------------W as published, with Niapsand Engravings,Bvo.

There was no case of public interest tried to-day. The payment of some bacon was resisted on the ground that it was measled--and that to sell measled bacon was an offence against an old Statute of Henry 111., still! in existence. The Statute was read, whereby it• appeared that any butcher who sold swine's flesh measled, or who bought other flesh of Jews and sold it to Christians, was liable to be amerced ss. for the first offence, to be put in the pil lory for the second, to he imprisoned for the third, and to be publicly expelled from the town in which such offence was committed, for the fourth perpetra tion of it. Great laughter was excited in Court by a witness producing part of this measled bacon from his pocket, and offering it to the inspection of Lord Tenterden. Had Solomon himself been pp the judgment seat, he conl4, ii t have ihown greater aversion to the approach of this unclean flesh than was exhibited by his Lordship. By his Lordship's direction the bacon was taken from his view, and placed under the inspection of the Jury. Even some of the jurors exhibited a Jewish"aversion to it, and shrunk from its approach, as if its very odour was pregnant with pollution. The witness being asked whether it was fit for human food, replied that it was not, and that better bacon had often been burnt by the overseers of the market. He pocketted, how ever, the greasy gammon, without the slightest symptoms of disgust, and walked out of Court with a sangfroid which was not exhibited by any of the spectators with whom he came in contact. Since the celebrated exploit of Wamlia with a gammon of bacon at the passage of arms at Ashby, recorded in Ivanhoe, no piece of pig's flesh has caused an equal alarm in a British multitude. The case ended by a juror being withdrawn, 01. to P 'nil d al, a New Edition, Bvo. 12s.

This was not brought about without a considerable degree of activity being manifested by th e great Barometer, who made his appearance on the 'Change rather earlier than usual. In the Exchanges on Paris and Hamburgh there was the most sensible difference since last post day : on the former, the advance was from 25 45-i to 25 50, at three months; and on the latter, from 36 to 36 2. It seems to have been found expe dient to counteract the panic, not only in the Stock Market, bu t likewise in the Forei g n Exchanges, by an effort nearly simultaneous ; it as yet is attended with suc cess. The Exchange on Lisbon was heavy, at a reduction of rather more than 1 per cent., with a tendency down wards. There have been no entries for th e e xportation of the precious metals since Tuesday last. —Morning Chron. CAUTION TO SHOPKEEPERS.__ STAMPS. The Receipt Stamps Duty affords a chann e l f or th e un principled, of which the y appear in many instances to be taking advantage. We have this week to mention one of the most glaring. It appears that a shopkeeper at Pad dock, near Huddersfield, is indebted to Mr. BRUMLEY, corn-dealer, in Huddersfield, to the amount of Si. for the balance of part of which Mr. B. commenced an action in the Honour Court, which takes cognizance of debts to the amount of 51. The debtor, on receiving the first process, waited on Mr. B. to inform him that, unless he gave him a receipt in full of all demands, and also paid the law ex pences, he would lay information against him on a consi derable number of his receipts which he had by him. Mr. B. was alarmed —stopped proceedings, sad actually pre pared the acknowledgment demanded, and was on the point of handing it to the debtor, when a friend happened to call, who advised him not to submit to the compromise ; and, As the shopkeeper had to call immediately for it, Mr. B.'s , friend secret e " himself, and overheard the conditions pro s posed hy which were to the effect above stated.— Should the threatened informatison be laid, the evidence t thus co llected will be adduced, and the fraudul e et attempt in this way be defeated..--Leeds Intelligencer. FARRINGDON WITHIN, This Ward, which has hitherto been the, arena without contest, yesterday displayed a field of con- ' tention as warm and as personal as any we have of late witnessed in all the wide expanse of civic war. In compliance with the notice circulated through the Ward, the, freemen assembled in the late College of Physicians (the Hall of Christ Church, their usual place of rendezvous, being under repair), at twelve o'clock; the worthy and respectable individual who presides over that Ward, Mr. Alderman Crowder, being in the Chair. This Ward returns 17 candidates, and is conse quence of the death of Mr. Pittman, one of their late representatives, there was upon the old list one vacancy, and an opposition having also sprung up to the re-election of Mr. Hartley, who has for the last eleven years represented the Ward, another opening was presented for the admission of a new member. The Ward Clerk having opened the business of the day, by reading the precept, The Worthy ALDERMAN said a few-words intro ductory of • the subjects to.be tubraitted.to few-words, of the freemen. The first subject to which their attention would be called, was .the report of a Committee appointed to inquire' into the propriety of calling on wholesale dealers in the City_of London to take up their freedom.' As the law now stood, a man possessing many hundred thousands of pounds, if he took a certain description of premises in the city, and carried on what is described as a wholesale trade, even though he should deal occasionally in the retail business, was not liable to take up his freedom, whilst a poor man, whatever might be his necessities, or however humble his dealings, was obliged to do so. The report now recommended that the inquests in the several wards should be instructed to.enforce . upon the wholesale dealer the necessity of taking up his freedom in the same manner as the retail dealer was obliged to do.—The report was agreed to. After some further observations, the names of the different candidates were put in nomination by the clerk. Mr. COLE proposed Mr. Joseph Thompson as a candidate. Mr. JONES seconded the nomination. . Mr. SINDERLY then proposed Mr. String Fisher as a candidate, which nomination was seconded by Mr. Russell. Mr. MITCHELL introduced himself to the notice of the meeting in a long speech. Mr. Deputy OLDHAM addressed the meeting. If he was returned again to the' Common Council, he should continue to exhibit the same zeal for their ser vice which had marked his previous conduct. After a great deal of talk, Mr. Alderman CROWDER summed up the votes on each nomination, and declared that some of the can didates were so equal, that he could not decide which had the majority. He therefore would, to avoid any difference of opinion, with the leave of the meet ing, put the names of Messrs. Hartley, Ridley, Dunsby, Beveridge, Thompson, and Fisher, up to the vote again. On counting the numbers, there appeared for Mr. Hartley, 33; Mr. Ridley, 72; Mr. Dunsby, 75 ; Mr. Beveridge, 57 ; Mr. Thompson, 61 ; and Mr. Fisher, 72.

By virtue of a precept from the Right Hon. the Lord 'Mayor, a wardmote was held before Robert Wai thman, Esq., Alderman, at St. Sepulchre's church. Mr. Henry Hunt being one of the new candidates, and M r . Cobbett having declared his intention to give hi s attendance fo r the purpose of askin g some Greek ques tions, long before the business com menced the church was crowded, the galleries being chiefly filled With ladies. Mr- HUNT came forward amidst applause and some hissing. Being so young a candidate he could not have believed that he should have met with so favourable a reception, especially as he had come for ward what f e ll f rom one of their respectable candidate s, Without consulting anybody.

A gallant old Scottish officer was narrating the unfortunate history of an early friend, who had been jilted by a fickle beauty of that age, in favour of the Duke A — r ---; and he concluded the story thus, in a tone of much emotion :—" Poor fellow he never got over it ; no ! Sir, it was the death of him ;" and then, after a pause of much pathos, with a faultering voice, he added,—" He did not live above fifteen years after it.".-Scotsman. Good night to them all; Let them cloud their blue sky, And trample their green earth.—Good night ! Good nigh There are few in their caves shall sleep sounder than I, Or care less what hour brings back the daylight, Unheeding, though even Mortality's tread Should mix with the reptiles to blacken our bed. Hark !—the clock strikes the hour—adieu to thee Time The dotard is ringing his drowsy farewell ; To-morrow the bells of Eternity chime," To sooth each wan pilgrim asleep in his cell ; And soft, as the music of heaven, shall glide, That chime to their spirits who lie side by side. Thou art drooping, pale flower ! then lean on my breast— She sleeps—so the day of her trial is o'er ; Two travellers are sped to the chamber of rest, To mingle their ashes, and part never more ; Right glad of the home which refuses no guest, Though, of sad ones, least happ.p t pisinners, least blest. In his poem entitled " Strange Nuptials," Mr. Kennedy has fallen into the very common error of mistaking eccentricity for genius. He has given an account of a visit, certainly penned NNW: spirit, that be one day paid to the inside of the grave, where he saw two dead bodies (blue and mouldy) one of an old man, the other of a young woman, suddenly jump up and "do the agreeable" to each other. This is purely disgusting ; there is not one atom of genius about it, and we would therefore recom mend our author in future to forbear all further reports of his visits to the grave ; not only from the revolting nature of the subject, but least he should by chance be taken up at Paisley for a resurrection-man," an awkward job for a poet. — With this we conclude; professing sincerest ad miration of Mr. Kennedy's abilities, when pro perly directed, but protesting, vehemently against his tasteless hypochondriasm. This is a striking but not an original idea, it is merely a various reading of the " Clock of Eternity," which Mr•. Maturin has introduced with such awful effect in his faulty hut magnificent " Melmoth." 4 POEMS BY JOHN CORDINGLEY.—London : 1 527. This young man is, we understand, self-edu cated, and, as such, exhibits talent of no every day quality. He has more vigor than Bloom field, but less descriptive power than Clare, with a nervous grasp of mind to which both were strangers. The subjoined sonnet on " Grief," making allowance for a few ruggednesses of thought and language, is terse and masculine, and will fully hear out our opinion : GRIEF. The story melted me, and drew a stream Of sorrow to mine eye ; I sought the dame, And found her ; found though three years gone, the same Intensity of grief ; her son the theme Of mental porirms ; and if chance a gleam, Of earlier stroke reverted, it discharg'd -Its poison here, and this last loss enlarg'd : And his dear Dame !seap'd in a fearful scream, As strangling might have writhed upon the air ; Then turn'd she with a kind concern hut brief, To learn my haps ; swiftly with its care Her thoughts commingled ; I essay'd relief, 'Twas vain ; her bosom settled in despair; Such ; and so keen the ehildlelis mother's grief. Through the rudeness of this little poem the reader will not fail to discover a concen tration and vigor that possess the matorials, but want the polish of intellect necessary to ensure them popularity. This can only be obtained by frequent and diligent perusal of' the best models among our English poets, to whom we recommend Mr. Cordingley to apply himself; convinced that, by a little judicious attention ; he may win for himself a far more enduring repu tAtion than if he were to puff his merits periodi cally in the provincial newspapers, as one or two of our poetical empirics have lately done with such unblushing and successful impudence. To re sume : the levity so frequently attendant 01; desperation, is well hit off in the following em phatic stanza : Drove heedless, reckless down to vice And dissipation wild ; The heart danced in its bitter Woe, And very phrenzy s miled. A reader meeting with the two last lines in n Lord Byron's Gi a our. collection of an onymo us extracts might, with great justice, c onc l u d e that they formed part of There is much pretti- information. It gives a perspicuous and inte resting account of the " anatomy of the digestive apparatus," and touches, with the hand of a skil ful and experienced master, the various disorder& which fall within its scope. - It excels in cone® billing theory and practice, alike condemning the systematizing of the mere speculatist, and the prejudicial eccentricities of the ignorant empyric. In short, it is evidently the production of a scientific and practical physician. The .follownig sensible and useful remarks upon the extent to which we may indulge the appetites of hunger and thirst, are worthy the attention of all, .but more particularly of the dyspeptic: — We now proceed to consider the question of the extent to which we are justified in going to wards satisfying the craving demands of the two sensations (hunger and thirst) to which we have above referred. May we eat, that is to say, when we are . hungry, and drink when we are dry ? No, say some of our systematic dieteti cians--,twelve ounces a . day is the limit, beyond which, if you pass, you abridge in the long-run your present . well-being, and lessen the duration of life and health. The robust and hearty indi vidual, who knows nothing of indigestion, or who is a stranger to the feelings which • satiety produces, may, if he so please, live and eat with out regard to weight. ant . measure ; may even indulge. in drink during the rnim - tL.t hp is calling largely upon the digestive powers of his stomach ; but let the weakly and the dyspep tic be careful how he exceed his twelve ounces in the twenty-four hours, and let him abstain from drinking even water at the time of meals, lest he dilute and weaken the gastric secretion, and eall upon the stomach to do more than the organ is able to accomplish. In objection to the second clause of the above dietetic mandate, we may refer to what has just been advanced on the nature of the gastric secretion ; remind the reader, that so far from water weakening its powers, in the way of dilution, it is not even diffusible through water ; and in respect to the rule which prohibits and admits precisely the same to all valetudinarians, we may only refer (as indeed I have done by an extract from Dr. Paris,) to the vast variety, even among the weakly, of constitutional power, to show its foundation in truth and nature. No, it is by sensation, and not by scales, that we must be regulated in these points ; and, in the general. way, we need be under no apprehension of de, viating from rectitude, either in respect of quan tity or quality, if we attend to the law of 'satiety above laid down by Dr. Philip, and listen to the admonition of Dr. Johnson, not to call forth any " conscious sensation in tile stomach, whether of a pleasurable or painful kind„" . This law of satiety, which is made the rule by which the quantity of food to be taken by Philip ie a r a p e n p li t s p i t era. ceases Pnalroims the dyslectic is to be regulated, is thus explained b jT 3 l . l 4 e u gy ta sp ti e ° c n tic fr gs o s it h v m de o i, D e u! by d r y i carefully attend to the firstent the s w i l l l ff en le fet m heei i ni i .eg ti l l i f s° ( l l taken h a e ft after il t i h n i this ‘ o re p r p re overloadesa wean e v stomach. b If he eats slowly, and carefully at bat such all indication may net t him remember to eat slowly tdseteoncidensiaveteiol t i t s 1, 3 fe tki e t l t i t n This is an important condition ; for when we eat too the lll stomach st wemia introduce a greater t d quantity of foot into once combine with consequence juice of c,a,111, which is, that hunger may continue for some time after the stomach has received more thin would be sufficient, under other circumstances, to in-. duce satiety.

If he be of se dentary habits, the feeling of satiety will be sooner induced ; and if a concurrence of cir cumstances should have invigorated his digestive powers, • he will find no difficulty in apportioning the increase of his food, so as to meet the exi gencies of the occasion.
