THE LORD MAYOR ELECT. P .t)n Monday, the Lord Mayor elect, accom byy the Recorder and the other City Officers, who usually Vend upon such occasions, proceeded irons Guildhall to the tio,f.T.i;loti&Ordf Stowell, for the purpose of receivi"g, through the Lord Chancellor, his Majesty's approbation Suing made by the Citizens of a Lord Mayor for the , rh g Year. -e ltEconDErt introc;nced the Lord Mayor elect to the „„t e Chancellor, and stated that he upon whom the distin- V: d honour of the Mayoralty had been conferred by This 'Km -citizen's was a member of the Merchant Tailors' Corn ratlY, and was' in every nt considered by his tellow-citiiens to till the er situ r a e o e n — to Which his • m erits had raised Th e k ai . LORD•CIIANCELLOa received the whole body in the un.test manner. lie rejoiced in having the honour to corn th i ncate to the citizens of London that their choice had inet v e , sanction and approbation of his Majesty. He (the LOrd 41111cellor) was himself, he was proud to say, a citizen of Ai a n d°n, and belonged to the company of which the Lord Yor fat Chief' was a member. With respect to the duties which ; tha the Magistrate had to perform, he should only say t heY were extremely important, inasmuch as not only h aa okltninist rat i on o f j ust i ce ver y ex t e n s ively fell into his tps, but th e cont i nuance o f t r anquillity and order in a at it h t measure depended upon the exercise of the very large of .„,itY which the Chief Magistrate possessed. The thanks z e ee community must naturally follow the active and v ert ° tls discharge of those duties. It was impossible to ad dea: the last Mayoralty without making some allusion to the 1 of a most meritorious officer and excellent man—the late 1,6i/order Sir J. Silvester. That worthy person had , by the itn iAs °f God, been removed from a world in which he had done (10 4 Z good, to another in which nothing but good could be laborny was one of his most conspicuous virtues. e x _ious arid awful duties he had to perform were always 1 %ijetuntecli With abundant feeling, - and on those painful occa th`a when he had to receive the Royal order with respect to n r ,"* l lo had violated the laws'of their country, he always ap- Ittsit ! h e e d the Throne with the hope that " mercy would season ~" Never had he failed in recommending . that the rigour he ntw should yield to that other, principle which " became v h o "troned Monarch better than his - crown," and that those sh eio l ti lad be forfeited their claims to remain longer in. society, l again put to the test. the course of his observations, the Lord Chancellor seem eyelloag,itated. When he spoke of the late Recorder, his • Thisre filled with tears. titr e , inrportant part of the ceremony having been gone pi tai t :l l ,gn, the citizens took their leave, and proceeded to the hos ,the employment of inviting the distinguished persons at A piv "eist end to the banquet on the 9th. A great number of a te friends of rank have been invited.

DRURY.LANEe-The audience were disturbed last night, at this Theatre, by the intrusion of a man from the Orchestre into the Pit, when the first seat was full. It is strange, indeed, that such an intrusion was not prevented by the ser vants of the Theatre, or that the intruder was not prevented by the audience. The tumult at length brought Mr. TERRY, who on hearing the cause retired to inform the Manager. Mr. ELLISTON soon after appeared, and after expressing his regret at the disturbance, handsomely offered his own box to those who had been annoyed by the intruder, who, however, was compelled to retreat by the way in which he entered, and harmony was at length restored. Mr. ELLISTON stated an extraordinary fact, viz. that not fewer than 30 persons had a few nights before been forced from the Orchestra into the Pit. It may surely he asked how such a circumstance could have happened if the servants of the theatre did their duty, or not effectually prevented from occurring again. The Comedy of Wild Oats was then represented without farther annoyance, and was received with warm applause. _ _ . . Co VENT . ..GA RD EN-The Comedy of The Won der was again represented 'at this Theatre last night,• and Mr. C. KEMBLE and Miss CitEsTErt excited the warm approbation, of a numerous audience by their animated performance of Don Felix and Fib/ante. ter S°l Emper or lealb ers 40;sliied )iy to tl , - it th r ' ; ese effol co . for ile" : ast l e .of f the: Sty .0 50° Wer P e cen t '' c the , tg o i 14 d a te° " he are e , recent;.o t of P re if ' l ich Us/ 101 be ,i , if fe' n 't. p er Ce' tt aon ne6 clsl b e .

AIRS. AFGIBBON. The following article has appeared in The Liverpool. Courier, and we insert it because it relates to Mrs. M'Ginao:'4, the daughter of the late Mr. WILLIAItt WOODFALL, a gentleman whose memory never can be mentioned with out respect. Mrs. M‘GiartoN is not only de servedly admired as an Actress, 'but highly esteemed for her conduct in private life, and pos sessed also of literary talents which have been evinced in several moral and interesting produc tions of considerable merit. THE KING- IN THE PROSECUTION OF MRS. M‘GIBUON V. T. B. JOHNSON. INDICTMENT FOR A LIBEL. This case stood for trial at the late Sessions for this Borough, (Liverpool) but was compromised : the following are amongst the terms of settlement agreed upon by the parties, viz. . " That the defendant shall.publish, in the next investigator, a paragraph to the following purpose, and which the prosecu trim may, if she think fit, procure the publication of in any newspaper or papers to be fixed upon by herself : the purport of the' paragraph to be, that he is satisfied she did not write to any person at Manchester, or elsewhere, the letter mention ed in the Investigator of the 20th of July last, (the eighth num, ber of the second volume,) respecting Mr. Vandenhoff and the disturbance at the Liverpool Theatre, or any letter of that na ture, or to that effect : but that the letter wrote was on private business ; and the subject of the disturbance was only inci dentally, named, and in a very opposite.manner from that cm communicated to 'the defendant. " That the defendant was misinformed with respect to the prosecutrix having, on the night that Brutus was 'performed, and in which she acted as Queen, in place of speaking what the author had written, used words which had appeared on a cer tain caricature; and that the defendant is satisfied she did not use such words, but those of the author. " That the prosecutrix did not alter the text of Shakspeare or any other author as mentioned in the same number of the .Lavestalitars—atul that lite defendant, in. there glieging ahehad done so, was imposed upon by false information. " That the prosecutrix was not a party in any conspiracy against Mr. Vandenhoff. (Signed)" JAs. MURRAY, Attorney for Mrs. M‘Gibbon. "JOHN WiLLIAms, Attorney for Mr. Johnson. " Oct. 19, 1822." The defendant accordingly published, in the Investigator of last Saturday, the foregoing statement, with various comments, from which the folloWing extracts are taken : " As I had every reason to believe that I had been grossly deceived, in regard to the matter in question, these proposals appeared to me reasonable and fair, and with which I could not - for a moment, hesitate to comply." " By referring to the proposals before given, it will be seen, that all Mrs. M'Gibbon required was a fair and candid disa vowal, in the next Investigator, to be published through other channels, if she thought proper." " I consider it an imperious duty to myself, and to Mrs. M'Gibbon in particular, to state, in the face of the world, that I firmly believe that I ye been most scandalously deceived by false information, and have thus been led into one of those errors which it is almost impossible for human foresight to guard against; thus circumstanced, I could not act other wise than make this plain, candid, and, 1 hope, manly avowal, with which I have no doubt Mrs. M'Gibbon will be perfectly satisfied, and which she is at liberty to use in any way she may think proper." " Some persons may, perhaps, accuse me of an excess of hostility towards the Theatre, (which, however, I deny altoge ther ;) let such persons, then, recollect f that of the abilities of Mrs. M'Gibbon 1 always professed myself a very warns ad mirer ; let them examine the pages of the Investigator, and they will find that she has almost uniformly been spoken of in the very highest terms of praise." " I rejoice, most sincerely at the turn which the business has taken, and, with the most unfeigned pleasure, embrocfe the pre sent opportunity of rectifying the mischievous error, by placing the matter correctly betbre the public." CANTERBURY, Nov. 5. The notice of a motion in the ensuing Session of Parliament, by Mr. Curteis, the Member for Sussex, for the 'purpose of repealing the provisions of the Act of the 5-Ith George 111. requiring each Hop Planter to mark the Bags and Pockets of his produce, with his name and the place where grown, occasioned a very large and respectable meet ing of the Planters of East Kent at the Fleece Inn, in this City, on Saturday last, when a series of resolutions were passed indicative of their most decided opposition to the repeal of an enactment so just in its principle, with regard to the planter, and so beneficial in its operation, as affecting the consumer; and that the Members for the County, and also those for the City of Canterbury, and for the other places in Kent, be inL instructed to oppose any attempt which may hereafter be made to effect the abrogation of Legislative provisions so material to the interests of the planters of Kent. From our Ramsgate Correspondent we learn, the first stone of the Monument about to he erected on the works of the Royal Harbour at that place, in commemoration of the landing of his most gracious Majesty King George the Fourth from the Con tinent, being the first anniversary, will be laid about noon on Friday next the Bth inst. The Trustees of the Royal Harbour have given orders for the Pier House to be opened for the use of the public, and no pains will be spared to accommodate those who may choose to be present during the ceremony. The Earl of Liverpool, who, with Mr. Canning, was there yesterday, has signified to Sir Win. Curtis, Bart. his iptention of visiting Ramsgate on the above day, to assist on the occa sion ; and should the weather prove favourable, it is expected many hundreds of visitors will flock from the country to wit ness the ceremony. The scaffolding which was raised yester day is allowed to be one of the completest erections ever seen. and no expence has been spared to render every thing safe and strong.—( Kentish pazettc.) CANOVA.—A portrait of this lamented Artist, we find, was painted by Mr. JAcKsoN, It. A. during his visit to Rome, with Mr. CHANTRT, It. A. at the desire of the latter. It is gratify ing to observe this harmony among artists, in whom jealousy is lost in mutual esteem and liberal competition, and the more so respectmg Mr. CHANTRY, whose profession is of the sAme nature with that of the departed ornameLt of modern sculpture.

The first fire missed, but in the second the Captain was shot in the wrist, and he Was COnvey*d to Sunning Hill, where me dical attendance Was had. INTENDED pliEi..--Another duel was to have • taken place yestetday at Wormwood Scrubs, but the police, acting upon information, prevented it. The parties had even measured paces, but infor mation of an enerny, at hand stopped them. The death of the. Jew Broker happens very opportunely for the present LORD MAYOR, who goes out of office next Friday. The circum stance will remind some of our readers of a pleasant anecdote related of WILKES. During his Mayoralty one of these Brokers was seriously ill, and WILKES was reported to be reckoning on the advantage of the disposal of the probable vacancy. The son of the Broker meeting his Lordship, reproached him with wishing his fa ther dead. "My dear fellow," said WILKES, with great promptitude, " you are completely in error; I would rather that all the Jew Bro kers were dead, than your father." you PAit—The fine statue of Achilles, in Hyde Park, bids fair to be ere long most seriously injured, if some means be not promptly taken to -prole --it - from- • the outrageous as saults of a number of rude persons who amuse themselves by throwing stones and dirt at it, and breaking down the slender chevaux de frise by which it is surrounded, one of the sticks of which they have contrived to place in the right hand, where there ought by all means to be displayed a sword or a spear. Though the renowned hero ap pears to frown with sovereign contempt on his rude assailants, yet ought the necessary means imme diately to be taken for preserving from mutilation so admirable a monument, and so appropriate a tribute to the worth and valour of our countrymen in arms.—(Morning Post.) THE GALUcAN CHURCH.—The Monitcztr of Friday contains a Royal Ordinance, sanctioning the publication of the Papal Bull, issued at Rome on the 10th of October, re lative to the circumscription of the French Bishoprics and Arch bishoprics. The number of dioceses is 80, of which 14 are me tropolitan, and 66 suffragan. According to Art. 3. " this Bull is received without approbation of its clauses, reservations, for mula, or expressions, which are, or may be, contrary to the Constitutional Charter, the laws of the realm, or to the fran chises, liberties, and maxims of the Gallican Church. It is ordered to be transcribed in Latin and French in the registers of the Council of State. M. pE BLACAS, who arrived a few days ago at Paris from Rome, brought with him this Bull, as the fruit of his long negotiation with the HOly See for the settlement of the Gallican Church. His Holiness was anxious, it would seem, that the Church of France should have the benefit of 92 Bishops and Archbishops to protect its interests or to extend its power. The French 'Ministry thought that the finances could not support more than 80. This number appeared moreover convenient, as it admitted of nearly the same circumscription of dioceses as of departments. Among the 80 sees there are l 4 Archbishoprics, and to compensate the want of the additional 12, on which the Pope had set his heart, eight of the Archbishops are admitted into the Chamber of Peers. M. PAULIN DU BEiwIER, the Sub-Prefect at Chalons-sur-Saone, and Knight of the Royal Order of the Le gion of Honour, has terminated his career at the age o f sixty-two. In him the King has lost a faithful and devoted subject, and an upright and enlightened Magistrate. NI. P. DU BERGIER was, in 1789, the President of the District des Filen lans, at Paris ; in 1790 he was elected to the Presidency of the Society of Friends to Constitutional Monarchy, and during the same year, while the unfortunate Louis XVI. was a captive in tile Castle of the Thuilleries, this loyalist was the foremost of thoSe who offered to became hostages for their KING, still desir ous of sacrificing their own liberty for the emancipation of a Monarch so adored. Towards the close of 1791, he was charged by the Kixu with a mission to the Swiss Cantons, which was in itself of high import, and which he fulfilled with zeal and devotedness. When this mission was thus discharged, he re joined the French Princes at Coblentz. After years of exile he returned to his native country, where his sole recompense was the esteem of good subjects. As the cousin-german of M. DE SEZE, now a Count and Peer of France, and connected by the most intimate ties of friendship with the Viscount DE CHA TEAU ItaIAND, M. DU BERGIER soon occupied an honourable post. Since the Restoration, he has been successively Chief of Division in the Ministry of the Interior, Secretary General to the Prefecture of Amiens ; and lastly, the Sun-Prefect at Chalons-sur_Saone. All his time was employed it supporting the Royal Cause. He was one of the originators of the Society of Bonires-Lettres of which also he became the very first Di rector. Ile has left behind a widow and two children, who are inconsolable ; since, in losing him, they have lost every thing. M. P. Du BE RGIER was not merely a faithful and devoted sub ject to the last--he died, as he had lived, a good Christian. Though painful.to him, he sustained his dying moments with that fortitude and resignation which nothing but religion can impart. His latest words, often repeated during his severe ill ness, were—" GoD and the King !"—(Joiti.rial des Debuts.) itomc.—The LAKE Facciiio, which has been always so destructive to the surrounding country, has under gone great changes during the summer. The excessive heat has caused the waters of the lake to decrease daily, and they have retired above fifty feet from their former limits. The Frecino has for these twenty years past constanly encroached on the surroundinr, shores. The sinking of its waters has ex posed to view various urns and sarcophaguses, some of Terra Cotta, and others of stone. Among them there is one of white stone, which attracts the attention of the, amateurs. This sar cophagus is of one piece, 9 palms long, 4 broad, and 5 hi g h. The inscriptions are still covered by the water. • • .., . " , C1 1 !• ^ 14 ' at.tl :II r i'. 9) •". z . .4v ? J --" A ;-:•• 1 " ° 04; 1 ).,$ ll' 34, OY - er 41 , . 0 0 . k - ir s ji. 404 POETRY. REPLY OF LADY BYRON TO HER LORD. The following LrigEs were written, it is affirmed, by Lady BYRON, and by her Ladyship addressed to her Lord, in reply to his well-known Verses on the Subject - of their Se paration : Fare thee well ! and if for ever, Still for ever fare thee well ! Blame thyself that thus we sever ; Thou hast forced ,n to rebel. Would that heart were bared before thee, Where thou thought'st it bless to reign, 'When Love's brightest spell came o'er thee, . Which thou scarce canst know again. Would that heart, by thee glanc'd over, Every inmost thought could shew ; 'Then might's thou in turn discover 'Twas not great to wound it so. - Though thy verse the plaudits gain thee Which unheeding crowds assign : Sure such plaudits still should pain thee Given by hearts that-know not mine. If I paused, before I pardon'd, Could no other means be found, Which might move an heart unharden'd To forgive a wanton wound ? O reflect ! thyself deceive not ; Truant love may pardon seek; But—lN PUBLIC GAZE—believe not Hearts their penitence should speak ! Still thine own its pride retained?: Still must mine in silence smart : And th' undying thought which paineth Is—THAT WE WERE FORen TO PART. These are words of deeper sorrow Than e'en verse of thine can prove; Both may live—yet, every morrow, Feel the pangs of sever'd love Yet, when I shall solace gather— When our child's first lisp I hear— She shall learn to say " MY FATHER !" Though the words should wake a tear. When her arms each night shall press me, Ere she sink to tranquil rest, I will teach her prayers to bless thee— For her sake may'st THOU be blest ! Should her lineaments resemble His who caused this heart to ache, Doubt not though my lip may tremble, It shall kiss her for thy sake. All thy faults, and all thy madness, She shall hide from love and me ; Widow'd hopes, now sunk in sadness, Still, perchance, may turn to thee. Though each feeling has been shaken— Virtue, Love, and Female Pride ; Yet this heart by thee forsaken Still could pardon, still could hide. But—'tis done ! Vain each concession— Vain each hope that lingers yet ; Feelings—thoughts—which mock expression, Sink, at last, in mute regret. His Grace the Archbishop of Yomt, visited Sheffield otr-Wednesdray last, when upwards of one thousand young persons were confirmed. His Grace previous to this interesting ceremony, had consecrated the piece of ground at Attercliffe, on which is to be erected a new church, to be de nominated Christ's Church. We are concerned to hear that Viscount DUN* wicli was so seriously indisposed during the last week at Newmarket as to be confined to his bed ; but it is with pleasure we add that his Lordship had sufficiently recovered to be able to leave that place by easy stages on Saturday. GREECE.-In the island of Leucadea (Santa Maura), ZAMPELIOS, a young man of great ta lents, has printed a modern tragedy, dedicated to the venerable Coray. He has two others, " Scanderbeg " and " Constantia Palaologus," ready to print. Mustoxydi, a learned Greek of Corfu, has translated into French the whole of the proclamations and papers published by the Senate of the Peloponnesus against the Turks, since the beginning of the heroic warfare. They will be published in Paris. In the city of Cy donia, recently destroyed by the Turks, a College and well-selected library was burnt.— A young Greek, of considerable genius, has trans lated the " Philoctetes" of Sophocle3 into mo dern Greek. It was recently represented in Odessa, by Greeks, with uncommon applause. 4 Success to the Greeks'—' Success to their ge nerous friends,' resounded from the whole pit at the close of the piece. At Padua, Spiridion Petrit tini,a Greek of Corfu,has published a translation of Velleius Paterculus. A ltho' the temporary seat of the Government is at Corinth, Athens is intended for the capital, should Greece be liberated. The national arms is Minerva, with the attributes of wisdom ; according to some it is an owl, the an cient symbol of the Athenians, and the bird of Minerva. A political Journal, which was for merly published at Calamatra, The Hellenian Trumpet, is now printed at Corinth. LunLow.—At the Chamber Meeting of the Corporation on Monday last, Mr. CHARLTON gave notice that he should proceed immediately by Quo Warrant° against Sir W ATKIN W. W yriN, Bart., who, he stated, was illegally a member of the body, not being resident within the limits of the town. Mr. CHARLTON, in signifying his intention, spoke as follows :—" I feel myself called on to declare, that my motive is only to restore to this body their rights and pri vileges, and to confine them thereto as their charter directs—a motive that is founded on ancient right, on justice, and on law, and can not, therefore, be disputed by any one who professes to uphold either the one or the other. The prospect of giving to the body and the town its long lost rights encourages me to the under taking ; and though a frightful expence stares me in the face, I will, with the help of some good friends, and the determination, if it is ne cessary, of existing on bread and cheese, Deo vo lente, accomplish my object ; and, sooner or later, deprive this body and the borough of all influence that is not established on an interest undivided from the welfare, the rights, and the privileges of the town."—(G lo:wester Journal.)
