" GENTLEMEN OF THE LIVERY, " PERMyr me to offer you my acknowledgments for the distinguished Honour you have this day conferied on me, by eleding me Chief Mag i s trate o f th e Fi rst City in the World. " Called by your voice to a situation at all times import. ant and arduous, it is my fortune to be chosen at.a period particula r ly event f u l : when the safety and prosperity of this great Metropolis, the centre of the wealth, commerce, and resources of the Nation are threatened by a Contest in which our dearest interests, our independence, our very ex istence is at stake. " Brought up in early habits of devotion to our invaluable Constitution, and of attachment to the best of Kings, I trust it is unnecessary for me to assure you, that I shall on every occasion prove their firm Defender, as well as a zealous Cuardian of the Rights and Privileges of the Citizens of London. " Weak and inadequate as may be my ability when corn pared with the important call for exertion, I feel a conscious pride in avowing, that while I witness with heart-felt wisp fa.ition the alive zeal and loyalty which pervade every de scription of the People, and among the foremost the Citizens of London; and reckoning, as r know I may on the valuable aid of my brother Magistrates, from whose Body you have given tie two such able Coadjutors, so far from shrinking lioni the honourable duties imposed on me, I presume to rely with confidence that' my condut will continue to be bonoured with gout approbation-el The Thank s of the' Common .Hall were unani, Ouslys . ioted:to the l ate Sh eriffs, for having exe. euted he arduous duties of their office to the saris. • faction' of the Ci t i zens at large ; which was ordered to be published - I'n' the !Waffling Papers.

In our Paper of Tuesday we inserted a para graph respeding an accident that happened some time since, near Reading s in Berkshire.-,-The cir cumstances therein mentioned being erroneously stated, we take an early opportunity to relate the fads, as they really occurred : two persons, dressed as gentlemen, travelling in a curricle, going down , a hill about four miles from Wallingford, one of the horses began kicking ; the chaise was not overturn ed, but the two persons juniped out—one of whom had his leg most dreadfully fradured, in which state he lay for several hours before persons could be pro cured to take him to the nearest village, which was South Stoke. The unfortunate gentleman then de sired the most eminent surgeon in the neighbour. h oo d to be sent for—one soon arrived from .Wal. lingfoid, and gave every assistance that iti'urgent 'a case required, and being at the same time aware Of the consequences that would ensue from so vio. lent an injury, engaged 11 consultation early the next morning from Reading, but notwithstanding every:Cate and attention the patient died early on , the following day. We are authorized further to state, that no conversation respelling settling his affairs ever pasied from the medical gentlemen, nor did the unfottunate .man even mention that the per son who accompanied hire was a female; neither did she discover herself till after his death : none of the medical gentlemen ever slept in the house, and the Surgeon who attended,in consultation from Reading, was only with the patient a few hours in the morn. 'ArtEcooTt.—When WILLIAM the Conqueror invaded this Country, and had reduced nearly the whole to obedience, he took up his abode at Windsor. A country Gentleman, proprietor of BUllstrode,, now in possession of the Duke OfgOItTLAND, alone refused to submit ; he armed his tenants, and threw up rude fortifications round his house, and swore he would hold it out to the last extremity. WILL lAht being informed, sent word to the brave man that he wished to have a conference with him; but he, being afraid of the consequences, refused to come, unless the King would pledge his Royal word, that he-should come to no harm. . This word being pledged, the brave Englishman went to Windsor, seated astride on a Bull, and held a conference with the King, who asked him his reason for resisting, to which lie answered, 4 6 That he preferred death to poverty — and he would fight for his lands to the last." This answer so pleased the Conqueror, that he entered into terms with him, and gave him a charter to hold his lands by the name of Bullarolle, in allusion to the manner in which he was mounted, which his descendants continued to do till within about tury ago. This is a remarkable example of the advantage of a man standing up boldly in defence of his own right. - - - The damage sustained by the dreadful fire which lately happened at Bombay, is computed at six hun dred anti fifty thousand pounds ; nearly five hun dred horses were burnt to death. The houses de stroyed will not again be erelted where they for merly stood, which is a measure calculated to guard against a similar calamity.
