The worthy Magistrate of Lynn, Scarlet Everard, Esq. gave his civic feast to the gentlemen of the county and city, at the Town Hall, on Wednesday the 29th ult., Michaelmas-day. The two Halls were full. Lord Or ford, the Members fibr the county, the Members for the borough, Sir Jacob Astley, and the ex-Member (Mr. E Wodehouse), were present. The dinner and wines were excellent I • the speeches, however, senatorieally considered, were far below par ; one of them most forcibly reminded us of an American saw-mill. Mr. E. Wodehouse's speech was best received ; it was tumultuously applauded. Mr. Co ►ke spoke most at large. Mr. Coke professed himself a decided opponent to the Duke of Wellington's Administration, because he knew the Duke to be a bitter enemy to liberty at his heart. The Duke would bring forward next Session Parliamentary Reform, the abolition and repeal of certain taxes, and other measures so long Advocated by the Whigs, and he (Mr. Coke) should be obliged to vote with him; but the Duke would bring them forward, not because he liked them, but because be was obliged to bring them forward, or go out of office, and office he liked too well ever to leave it so long as he could keep it. But be would now meet a Parliament such as no Minister ever met before—a Par liament untractable—a Parliament determined upon every possible ineasure.of retrenchment and economy. One part of Mr. Coke's speech :ve will give in his own words, as it created much interruption to its continuance : " Gentlemen, I shall continue what you have always found me—a Whig. The King can make a Peer—he can put a ribbon upon the breast of a slave—but the King cannot Make what you "can, what the people can make—an inde• pendent Member of Parliament. The Almighty will soon send me to my grave, but, thank God! I have lived to see an end put to that system first begun by a man in this kingdom, and afterwards continued in a Neighbouring kingdom by the infamous Bourbons. The picture of that man is in this room—there it is (Mr. Coke here pointed to a full length portrait hung over the Mayor)—the worst man that ever sat on a throne—George the Third, that bloody King." These words were no sooner uttered, than loud and continued hissing proceeded from various parts of the hall. The disapprobation evinced evidently arose not from any personal feeling of disrespect to Mr. Coke, but from the heartless injustice of gratuitously raking up the remains of a venerated Sovereign so long cold in his tomb. When the hissing ceased, Mr. Coke continued, but never perfectly recovered himself, and conclude]. The " Health of the Bishop of Norwich" was then given, and certainly a most happy parallel was drawn be tween him and the newly-made Bishop, Dr. Philpotts— the one continuing firm to his political principles, though denounced by so many successive Administrations; 'the other renouncing all his former political principles, inva riably acted upon under the patronage of Bishop Barring ton, the first moment an Administration professed not to act upon them. A Clergyman present returned thanks in the name of the Bishop, curiously observing,, that his Rev. Brethren then in the hall attended, not for the grub they could get, but for the pleasure they felt in the society'Of the Mayor. The ball in the evening was well attended by the ladies, among whom was Lady Ann Coke, the grace and orna ment of the female circle, in her charming blue hat and feathers. LITERATURE. A SERMON ON BARTHOLEMEW FAIR, By the Rev. R. C. Dillon, M.A., Author of the " Lord Mayor's Voyage to Oxford."—London, 1830. Most of our readers must remember—how is it possible they could forget it ?—a celebrated production, entitled " The Lord Mayor's Voyage of Discovery to Oxford," in which the gastronomic capabilities of his Lordship (Venables), the majestic deportment of his coachman, and his coach horses, the simpering urbanity of the Lady Mayoress, and the no less simpering condescension of her lady's maid, were tmited with hiitoric dignity, and with a miaute ness absolutely without parallel. it gives us pleasure to state that the author of that immortal chef d'ceuvre, is the author likewise of the Sermon before us, and that both works display traces of the same master-spirit. The Journal of the Lord Mayor's Voyage is fairly matched by the Sermon on Bartholomew Fair : both evince an equal abundance of civic fancy ; the pathos of both is equally I , rich and rare ;" the wisdom is equal ; the logic is equal ; though in point of style, the Sermon is incontestably superior to the 'Voyage. Mr. Dillon is the very beau-ideal of a Cockney genius. His fancy flourishes only within the gates of Temple-bar. The Lord Mayor is to him more than a King : he derives inspiration from the sight of an Alder man ; shudders with awe at the man in armour ; glows with chivalrous ardour at a review of the City Light Horse (so called from each man in the troop weighing the best part of a tun), and is literally petrified at the wonders, the splen- dours, and the iniquities of—Bartholemew Fair. The pamphlet before us is an exposition of the various abominations practised at this Cockney carnival. With consummate good taste, Mr. Dillon addresses it to the young ladies and gentlemen who attend Charlotte Chapel, Pimlico; of course, under the idea that they are regular frequenters of this fair. Nothing can be more complimentary than such a supposition. The inhabitants of Belgrave-square in particular must look on it as highly flattering to their gentility. The Rev. Gentleman sets out on his Discourse with earnestly beseeching the patience and atten tion of his congregation, and then in lofty lan guage proceeds to remark bow much it was his duty "to burst the fetters of timidity and preach," well aware that it requires an extraor dinary effort of courage to rail against showmen and holiday folks ! Having with some difficulty burst these fetters, he steps boldly forth in the following sonorous style : " There are occasions when this dangerous world is even made more dangerous, when the disobedient and re• hellions subjects of God countennuce and strengthen one another in the ways of sin--draw their destructive forces to one common arena—and transgress in troops and bands. Then it is' that the Christian Watchman is to sound the alarm of impending danger." Unfortunately, like most watchmen, Mr. Dillon's alarm is somewhat of the drowsiest, and will we fear have but little effect on those " troops and bands who draw their destructive forces to the common arena" of Smithfield. Nevertheless, the Rev. Gentleman has a fine taste for a grievance, .snuffs danger with the keen nose of a pointer, sees an image of Tophet in Bartholomew Fair, and another. of Antichrist in Richardson's head showman. " But" he adds, " The mischiefs of the Fair do not terminate with the Fair itself. No sooner is it over, than the inundation of iniquity fulls back in all directions, and overlie** our streets.' Indeed ! What an awful idea, and how sublimely expressed l Think of an " inunda tion of iniquity," consisting of servant-maids and smart apprentices falling back in all direc tions on their road from Bartliolomew,,Fair The watch-houses should look to it. The So ciety for the Suppression of Vice should take it in handr or most assuredly the -morals of the city will be drowned in this fearful inundation. The Preacher, goes os►. to acquaint us with an affecting anecdote, which he read some time since, in 'the Papers, of a servant girl, vho having staid out late at the fair, allured by the graceful small talk of her sweetheart, with whom, it seems, she " kept company," was in conse quence dismissed -from her situation, and died of hunger in a " backward garret." The up shot of the tale is cutting in the extreme. We have wept thrice at its perusal. " The naisguided kindness of her mistress gave thiti young girl permission to accompany a young man to this fair. lie turned out to be one of those faithless Wretches ,rho crowd round innocence and beauty with professions md flatteries, and with no other hope than fur some op• portunity to beguile and destroy—and the►e (where?) was this poor gill smitten by one of those dreadful, but not unfrequent, strokes of calamity which scathe and scorch the soul, penetrate to the vital seat of happiness, and blast it, never again to put forth bud and blossom." What exceeding pathos ! Unluckily, however, for the Preacher's originality, it is not his own. In the first volume of that delightful work, the Sketch-hook," in the tale of the Broken Heart, occurs the very sentence which Mr. Dillon de livered, no doubt, with weeping eyes from the pulpit. " There arc some strokes of calamity . . which scathe and scorch the soul, penetrate to the vital seat of happiness and blast it, never again to put forth bud or blossom,' Again : " The particulars of her after story may be easily con jectured. She returned to her place no more. The arms of her betrayer were no longer open to receive her. She wandered away not knowing whither; unacquainted with the usual expedients of misery; afraid to meet . one eye that had seen her before, and seeking like the poor stricken deer, to weep in loneliness and silence, and brood over the barbed arrow that rankled in her soul. lier sufferings were however short, as they were severe. Dry sorrow soon drunk up her blood." What reader, with the slightest pretensions to bowels, but must weep over this affecting love- tale ! How unfortunate, then, that it should be told in the very language of Mr. Washing ton Irving's 4 4 Pride of the Village." In the second volume of the " Sketch-book," this gen tleman has told us of a poor deserted village girl, who "returned to her place no more. The arms of her betrayer were no longer open to re ceive her. She wandered away, not knowing whither ; seeking, like the poor stricken deer, to weep in loneliness and silence, and brood over the barbed arrow that rankled in her soul." We regret that an author of such brilliant originality as Mr. Dillon, who can detect sentiment in the face of a Lord Mayor, dignity in his coach horses, and an " inundation of iniquity" in a few livelyservant lads and lasses, returning home with pockets full of gingerbread nuts and keepsakes, from Bartlemy Fair, should condescend to bor row ideas from Mr. Irving ! Mr. Dillon winds up his tragedy with a word of advice to young women, scores of whom, he says, " Are known at this disastrous season to cut away the anchor of their virtue, and after struggling for a while with the encroaching waters, are at last overwhelmed in the gulph of destruction." We are far from curious, but we must con. fess there is something in this picture that won drously tickles our fancy. We would give worlds, to see 'a young woman in the act of cutting away the anchor of her virtue !" The spectacle, as a curiosity, must be edifying ; as an anatomical process, original; and, as a sub ject for pictorial illustration, well worthy the pencil of Cruikshank. To resume—After as suring us that "in that awful day, when the whole universe shall stand at God's judgment bar, multitudes will be found to trace up all their misery to this unhallowed source of enter- ainment".—that is to say, to buying barloy•su; - - kisses, playing at nine-pins, and dancing jigs - at Bartlimy fair, the Preacher advises us by all means to turn aside from this " Enchanted ground, by entering on which we may be further and further ensnared within the magic circle, till the dominion of sin over the conscience, which is ge nerally established by degrees, has insensibly twined round our soul those concealed fetters, by which it is at last completely bound, and fastened us in slavery for ever and ever." - The terms 44 enchanted ground," " mag i c circle," applied to Bartholomew Fair, are cer tainly appropriate, not to say original, though we think the advice is somewhat superfluous. We are hot by any means apprehensive of the " dominion of sin twining round our souls its concealed fetters," because we may happen to take a peep at Smithfield during the fair; it is the pickpockets we dread in that quarter, more especially since we have learned that the N ew Police have no power to act eastward of Temple Bar., 44 But," continues the Preacher, " I am prepared to expect, it may he sail, that many individuals, and those indeed of respectability, attend this fair, not only without any participation in the evils which abound therein, but with a rooted and real abhorrence of them. If you take your families, you take them in the day time, when the throng is less oppressive, awl the more glaring evils of the fair have not begun to manifest them. selves, and you go chiefly to show them some wonders of the Almighty's creating hand, both in the rational and irrational creation, which are there exhibited." By the 44 wonders, of the Almighty's hand" Mr. Dillon clearly means the pig-faced lady—. the cat with three tails—Miss Biffin—the sheep with five legs—the mermaid, and, peradventure, the Bonassus. These are, certainly wonders worthy of the " enchanted ground" of Smith field—that Palace of Armida, that " magic circle" of Comus—though it is our duty to inform Mr. Dillon that man has had the greatest share in the creation of these wonders. Having despatched them, however, the Rev. Gentleman goes on to lament that—, 4 ,, A fondness for amusement seems to be increasing in the, present day. And especially do I grieve to see it gaining so much ground amongst the middle close* of society." It is shocking, certainly, that the public should be so fond of amusing itself, and still more shocking that the Preacher himself should be one of the chief promoters of its amusement. But this is the' fact. 'How much innocent enjoyment—how many a hearty laugh would have been lost to the world, had Mr. Dillon never published his exquisite Voyage, and still more exquisite Sermon l On the part of the public, then, we intreat him, (ill terms of such affectionate entreaty, that he muqt be more or less than man if he can withstand us) to continue his present career of author ship. If originality be the first requisite of a clergyman, he is beyond all question, thogreatest divine of his day, and sooner or later will not fail to write himself into a bishopric. On the same principle, he is the first historian of his age, for what are the original merits of a Hal lam—a Mill-4 Sharon Turner—or a Lin guard, compared to those ,of the author of.the Lord Mayor's Voyage ? No' wonder .that such a man should already have been. presented to his Majesty ! No wonder that he should al ready have announced a new volume of sermons by subscription (price twelve shillings); the public will of course flock to purchase the rarity, and we ourselves shall be proud and happy to rank ourselves among the very earliest subscribers, MONEY-MARKET. It has been *Wed today (Friday evening) that although no defaulters have been declared at the Stock Exchange on the settlement of the present account, many of the mem bers have entered into private compositions for the various claims upon them, but we do not find on inquiry that this involves any individuals of the least standing these. As far as the speculations have gone, the house must on the whole have gained considerably, having been uniform'y against the rise in the funds. The principal losers on this occasion have no connexion whatever with the Stock Exchange, consisting chiefly of individuals who, through confidence in the credit and resources of the c iuntry, have embarked largely in operations for the ri-c, and have either carried over the time-hargaina from one account to another, or have pledged the stock with the hankers. There is no doubt that a very large amount of stock is placed in that way at the present moment, and hence it arose that the true state of the account was not apparent until near ti e close of it, producing the sudden and extraordinary demand for money on loans of stock, the occurrence of which we described yesterday. Among the deliveries of stock on this settlement is said to be a very large sum for one Of the leading insurance companies, and some of our great commercial house; have, it appears, also contributed to the pressure on the market. These latter sales do not neces sarily arise from any distrust in the maintenance of the funds at their present prices, but rather from the favourable opening which now presents itself, in consequence of the great rise of sl:noat all articles of foreign produce, for in vesting money in goods. The Consol Market is more steady than it was yester day, and leaves off firmer ; the last quotation for money was 86i to ; and for November, Stii to An invest ment_ of 15,000/. for the savings banks was made in the course of the morning. This has been settling-day at the Foreign Stock ExChange, but though the fluctuations in some descrip tions of them have been very considerable, it has been at tended with little worth remark. The chief transactions have been in Spanish, Russian, Danish, and Brazilian, which have varied in price, one with the other, about four per cent., since the beginning of the month. The specu lation in Cortes bonds, owing to the turn Spanish affairs have taken, is nearly at a stand for the present ; they were as low as 201 this morning, but left off better, the last quotation being 211 to . Dutch stock has been dealt in to some extent, but chiefly through the medium of a few capitalists connected with Holland, who hive means, through their correspondents, of overcoming the previous difficulty in effecting transfers in, and in making payments for it. Very little of that security is in circulation at the Stock Exchange.— Times. BETTS' PATENT BRANDY. The entire failure of the late vintage having already occasioned an advance on fine French Brandy of at least 50 per cent., with every prospect of it being still dearer, it is matter for national congratulation that the irresistible march of science has, in the production of that incomparable Spirit, Betts' Patent .French Dis tilled Brandy, discovered a substitute, superior even to its favourite prototype ! Inrerior French and Spanish Brandies (the consumption of which, it is to be feared, will now greatly increase), will not bear with it the slightest comparison. The- most competent judges of its flavour and quality, have repeatedly expressed their astonishment at its perfect resemblance of the finest Cognac. Chemists, justly celebrated for their scientific attainments, have, upon analyzation,. pronounced it to be a snore pure end wholesome Spirit ;' while its prig is but little more than half that of the French Brandy, viz. ISt. per imperial gallon. • It is then to the patriot, who studies his country's veal —to the agriculturist, from whose produce it is made-•-• to the economist, whose prudence it invites.--to the con noisseur, who can distinguish with accuracy—to the invalid, whose health and comfort it promotes—to the prejudiced, who have hitherto suffered their judgment to be enslaved— und to the consumers of Brandy in every class of society, that J. T. Betts and Co. confidently appeal for patronage and support. French Brandy Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, St. John-street. EXTRACTS FROM TUE TESTIMONIALS. " Ygur Brandy is free from uncombined acid and as tringent matter, which exists more or less in most of the Brandies imported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry." " I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for purity of spirit this cannot be surpassed, and that your Patent Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the foreign spirit. " JOSEPH HUME, "J. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Mojesty." " I do not hesitate to express my conviction that your Patent Brandy is fully as free from every thing injurious to health, and contains as pure a spirit as the best varieties of Foreign Brandy. " EDWARD TURNER, " Professor of Chemistry in the University of London." " John T. Betts, Esq." CA UTION. This important discovery, like every other of sterling value, has produced its counterfeits. Numerous imitations, alike wretched in composition, and deleterious in effect, are daily foisted upon the public by the assurance of such nondescript compounds being equal, if not superior, to the Patent Brandy. Theorists and Speculators, ignorant of the first principles of Distillation, are constantly being announced as Brandy Distillers. Fine Samples are exhi• bited, by which the novice and unsuspecting are entrapped ; and not unfrequently have purchasers been misled, and given their orders to Clerks or Agents of other Houses, insidiously representing themselves as being connected with the French Brandy Distillery." J. T. lismrs and Co. therefore deem it requisite thus to caution the Trade, that they may be on their guard against similar impositions, and to state that their only Establishment is at No. 7, Smith • field-bars, leading to St. John-street. N.B. As some of the imitations alluded to are nothing more than Leeward Island Ilum,:deteriorated by attempted rectification, and coloured to assimilate Brandy, while others are strongly impregnated with the flavour of medi cated Potatoe Whiskey, which are immediately discove rable on mixing, J. T. Barrs and Co. beg to add, that they do not use either of the above articles in the manu facture of their Brandy, which never appears more to ad vantage than when diluted with hot water. CONTRADICTION Or TETE RAPID STEAM TnAvituano.—Within the last few days a rumour has been very generally circulated that Mr. STIPIMNSON had travelled along the railway from Liverpool to this town, in a new engine, in thirty-two minutes, being at the rate of nearly sixty miles en hour ! There is, however; not the slightest foundation for this report, Mr. &eclair:nu having set off for Newcastle the day before this extraor tlinary feat was said to have been perfarmed. We under stand that the whole of the engines at present belonging to the Company are engaged in the conveyance of passengers along the railway ; and that the principal object of Mr. STIPIIINSON'S journey to Newcastle is to superintend the construction of a number of new engines, to be used,'when completed, in the conveyance of goods.—Aranchester Courier. ANI/CDOTE OF Sin E. PELLEW, NOW LORD EXUOUTIf.—At Plymouth, several years ago, this gallant direr was sitting alone at dinner, when his servant an trounced to him that an Indiaman had struck Upon the beach, and was in imminent danger of going to pieces. Sir Enwauo hastened to the shore, and found the iotelli genee correct, and the surf running so high that no boat clued to venture on board the yawl. Sir Eowann ad- dressed the crowd upon the beach, and asked if any of them had heart enough to swim off with him to the ship. A young man stepped forward to answer the challenge ; and two lines having been procured, Sir Enwino and the stranger each took one in hand and gained the yew!, and after safely landing all on board, were the last to re turn on shore. On stepping upon . land, the gallant A.ti mina, addressing his comrade in danger, exclaimed, a Gm me your band; you're a tine fellow,—who are you ?.. must sail with me in future." The young man replied. OW he was the mate of a collier, and that be should he sitate to quit a situation to comfortable for the chance of donhtful promotion.

The Committee of the Common Council appointed on Saturday. sennight to make the preliminary arrangements for the splendid entertainment to their Majesties on their accession, have had almost daily meetings on the subject since the King and Queen have eignified.their intention to he present. The principal object of the Committee has been to have the precedent of former Royal. visits strictly adhered to. With this view the records of the Court have been consulted, and as far as the Committee have yet gone, the plan determined on is nearly as follows : On the last occasion, in 1761, when the King and Queen dined with the City, the Lord Mayor embarked on the Thames so early as ten o'clock at London-bridge, and in consequence of the operations then going on at Black. fliers for the new bridge rendering landing there difficult and tedious, the roceasion disembarked at the Temple st airs. Their Majesties set out (ruin the Palace at St. James's at twelve, but in consequence of the mismanage ment of those appointed to keep the line clear of hackney ceaches and other obstructions, did not reach the house of Barclay, in Cheapsitle, nearly opposite Bow Church, from a splendid balmily in front of which they saw the civic procession pass, until nearly six o'clock. Dinner was not fully laid for their Majesties until nine; they and the rest of the Royal party.tock their leave at twelve, but in con sequence of the same causes of obstruction on their return to the Palace, they did not reach St. James's until almost two o'clock. These delays and obstructions will, however, he obviated on the present occasion by the timely and proper measures which the Committee have determined to adopt to keep the line of portage clear, For this purpose the Court of Aldermen will issue the necessary precepts. The Lord Mayor also intends to issue precepts to the severe' Alder men of the city to give notice to the householders of their respective wards through which their Majesties will have to pass on their way from Temple-bar to Guildhall, to adorn the fronts of their houses with ornaments, to he followed in the evening by a general illuininetion, and to warn the inhabitants, loc. nut to throw any squibs, see. penis, or fireworks out of the houses, nor fire any guns in the streets. The Commissioners of the Lieutenancy of the' City of London intend, it is said, to order the different regiments of militia to be on duty during the day in the line of procession. On the last occasion comparatively few of the citizens sought for money by the sale of seats to view the proms sion (and their conduct was favourably contrasted with that of the west-enders, on the day of the Coronation)—they reserved the seats for their friends and acquaintances ; they appear, however, not so careless about money matters on the piesent occasion; many talk of erecting' balconies in front of their houses, and selling the seats, for which they expect high prices. Their Majesties will pass through Temple-bar without any of the ceremonies observable on other occasions,.... The temporary pilotage leading through the ball from the entrance will be lined by the members of the Common Council, with their robes on, and hearing torches in their hands; at the bottom of the steps leading to the Lord Mayor's Court, the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, with the Aldermen, will wait to receive the members of the Royal Family on their successive arrivals, and conduct them to the waiting-room. When their Majesties are announced as having arrived in the front of the Guildhall, the Lord Mayor, L idy Mayoress, and Aldermen, with the Sheriffs, will advance to the great door of the Hall to re ceive them. At their Majesties' entrance, the Lord Mayor, kneeling, will present the city sword, whieb, as is ens tomary, being returned to the civic head, that officer, bareheaded, will carry it before the King, the Queen fol lowing, and the Lady Mayoress behind her. In this manner the Royal guests will proceed to the Council Chamber, where it is expected that the King, In imitation of his Royal ancestors on all similar occasions, will intimate to the Lord Mayor his intention of conferring the dignity of a Baronet by patent on him, and knight the Sheriffs. It is not correct to lay that George 111. conferred a Baronetcy on Sir S. Fludyer, the Lord Mayor in 17 i 1 ; he had been a Baronet for some time previously, but in lieu thereof the honour of Knighthood was con. (erred upon his brother. When dinner is announced, the Royal party will pro cud in the same manner as before, to the grand table at the upper end of the holdings, at which 'Zile but Mem berm of the Royal Family will be seated. A superb canopy is to be placed over the seat in which the King and Queen will be placed. The Ladies, in-Waiting upon Queen Charlotte claimed a right by custom, on the occasion ready alluded to, in 1761, to dine at the same table with her Majesty ; but it was over-ruled, and they were obliged to content themselves with the company and same fere as the Aldermen's Ladies, at the Lady Mayoress's table, which were throe in number, anti served in the old King's Bench, where they will also be accommodated on the pre sent occasiou. The table for the Lord Mayor and Aldermen will be spread in the lower busting+. There will be a table for the Privy Counsellors, and others of. the Nobility, on the right heed near the., upper hustings, and another fir the Foreign Ministers ou the left. It is supposed the same formula will be observed on this occasion as in 17tH, when, on the upper end of each table was placed half a side of cold roast beef, in which were fastened flags bear ing the Royal time, and those of the city. Eight tables will be allotted for the Common Council in the body of the hall, at the end of the Lord Mayor's table. Four Aldermen of the Committee will set on the dishes, and, with . the Lords-in-Waiting, attend at the Royal tables: The Lord Mayor will stand behind the King, as if in the quality of Chief Butler, and the Lady Meyoreas will wait on her Majesty in the same capacity. After the removal of the first course, and while the second is putting on, the Lord Mayor will hand to the King, and the Ludy Mayoress to the Queen, a glass of wine to their respective Majesties; then the Common Crier will' proclaim aloud to the (nonparty that his Majtstty has drank "Prosperity to the Lord Mayor:Aldermen, and common Council of the City of London, and the trade thereof," The music will instantly perform the national anthem " God save .the King;" after which their Ma. jesties will be pleased to dismiss the Lord Meyer 11041 Lady Mayoress from further attendance on them, and order them to go to 'dinner. All others remain to wait upon their Msjeaties. • The Lout May or, as soon as he has got to his table, in return for the honour done the city, will give, through the Common Crier also, " /With and long life to their Ma. *dies," when the music will again strike up. The . health* of the ether Members of .the Royal Emily present will foliar/Alt the Lord Mayor's and the other. Wee, but not in the flame ceremonious wanner. VNIVEItgITV Orroan, Ocr. 16.—The Rev. T.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCS. EPSOM OCTOBER MEETING. The assemblage on the ground yesterday,. was neither snore numerous nor fashionable than the preceding daYi The list, however, was more prolific of sport , and t he wett. ther, if possible, finer. It cannot be denied thitt the failure of the present meeting as a source of profit to the town of Epsom is entirely attributable to the want of epiria evinced by Its inhabitants, who have only to bosnore liberal in their contributions to ensure racing of a superier kind.. But fur the patronage and support of Mr. Alaberlyf, the meeting would . have been infinitely worse.
