A motion WAS made that Alderman Josnua Jo- NATHAN SMITH Shop the Chair, but loud and repeated cries for Alderman Goodbehere brought forward that Gentleman ; who st a , ed, that the worthy Magistrate whose moue was first mentioned had already filled the Civic Chair, and of course his presiding would give a better cha racier to the in eting.. Mr. Alderman J.J. Sprint then took the Chair, the consent of the assembly. He felt the utmost pleasure, as he expressed himself, in pre siding over a meeting assembled the object of considering who ,was the most eligible person to represent the Ci yof London When the ta lents and virtnes of their old friewl, Harvey Combe, were contemplated, the thing most likely to soecest itself was, the substitution of another qualified as he was', and exhibiting proofs that be was likely to retain. the confidence of his fellow citizens. There was one about to he pot in no mination Mite would discharge' all the duties of a Parliamentary situation with the, greatest fidelity. Cooled soy nice more deserving their confidence be proposed than the man who hid trice sersed as Chief Magistrate—(Great Applause)--and show(' in :lie performance of his to roirold antics the most extraordinary zeal and hoegri'y ? The meeting would, he tru.red, wits. all nnanimqns vo!'e, re commend the Livery to creel the Lord Mayor as their llepresentatise in Neliament.—(Applmise.) Mr. WILLI/01s, the b tok. t, came forward to pro pose f heresointions. Hr re;:retted the indisposition of \lr. Combe, which riepri , ed the City of that gen tleman's manly. exertions in, Parliament, a n:l c ould not help admiring the readiness with which he had obeyed ,the intimation of the City of London, upon the. subject Of the ropri,ty of his resigna tion of his seat. Ph , aieal `treilgtil was, indeed, nrceisary for the performalice of. such (hides as the s eeeroy of the t;iues imposed it the repre-, Jentative of so large a ho(jy of the people of Eng .l4oo. It was necessary to have one IWO)_ abb• to aSSelt beddly and tinily the opinions and the in juries of the, people; awl, it the nation was at last to e ro,ch undo a military iespotism, capable of standing to' ward as the oc gait of los constitn cots. and calling tor Iltrir rights, in the midst of political alarms ''nd embarrassments, SuCh a cha racter did vie Lord Mayor present. SO goal lied was h e ro tell bold truths , and to earry conviciioo, .not only by the power of his rr hsoning and of his experience, but by the well kiton n honour and independence of his character,. Lott it ,would be a libel upon the lisety to suppose them capable of ad mittingacompetitton,howeverremarkabletheother candidate might be in the necessity qualifications. (Applause.)--The friends of ft very worthy and able matt ( Waithuto), and that Gentleman himself, were, so confident of the strength of such claims, that they dropped all thought of competi tion. Mr. Williams then made soul • observations stun the Habeas Corpus Suspension Net ; and stated, that the Lord Mayor, who had furnished Government with the first intelligence upon the subject of the disturbances by which that sui pension,had .been caused, was better qualified to give an opinion upon the subject io Parliament than any man ist existence. Mr. W. then men ' tismed, that the Lord Mayor was supposed to he the fret intended victim of the plot, but that his conduct to the mob, by whom he was sUrrountled, was.soch as to chang. that intention into applause. He 'then moved t first resolution, which was se conded by Alikrrnan GOODBaHtilia,. who applauded the ' Parliamentary condect of Mr. Comhe; and' eN pressed his confidence; that the Lord Mayor would be a worthy substitute. He complimented Mr. Waitliman upon the conduct heh ad adopted ; and expressed A hope, that the time WKS not dii' ant when those two independent and able men would sit together in Parliament. Mr. Waits said, it ;was necessary the Repre sentatives of the City of London should have ac tive minds and active habits, and he well acquaint • ed with the commercial interests of the count ry. The Resolntions were all unanimouslyagreed to. The LORD MAvoit, as soon as that recommend ing,that he be returned to Parliament was vassed, stood forward amidst lOud applauses. He was, he said, so overpowered with emotions of gratitude, as to be unable to collect his thoughts sufficiently to give the meeting an idea of what he felt towards them. He spoke of his habits of friendship with Mr. Conlin, of the advantages he derived frourbis early acquaintance with that excellent man, and of his sorrow at tke circumstances Which led to the recent relignatiqn of his seat in If what had occurred at the Common-ball gave any offence, he (hie Lord Mayor). felt conscious of having intended oothilig More thati the decla ration of what he knew tic he the fact ---namely, Mr. Conches disinclimition to interfere any farther in public business. Under similar circtonstances,he should feel as Mr.-Comhe bad felt ; and be d asslire the meeting, that if want of health, nettle interven 'firth of anyot hercalantity,depri vedbim of the power of doing his duty in Parliament, one month-should not pass over before h e would resign his seat.—(Ap. plause!)—The people of Ldetion had the security. of their own experience upon this occasion. They knew the pillion! principles upon which he Li ad act ed, and must he convinced that be would never de part from them. " If," said he, ." I did not go WO that Hollbe with the determination to express the sentiments of the Livery, I would not go into it at all." lie concluded with saying, that the only reward he sought was - the approbation of his fellow-citizens, and that, as his public duties required a very 'close attendance, he should de petal upon the exertions of his friends in the con duct of the election. • Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. It was understood that no opposition is now contemplated.

Atter the celebrated case of Dr. Ches. sehleies patients, whose sensations have beers so' minutely and, philosophically laid before the public, it can hardly be expected that any disco very regarding the origin of our ideas of figure, distance, or quantity, could be extracted from the observation of an ignorant country boy, who, unaccustomed to think abstractedly, is lade able to describe the gradual improvement of his in.. reflect, under this sudden and astouishiog intro (faction to the visible world. lie contirme.l, hew ever, with readiness the conclusion so obvious, from the feelings of Dt.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE. LIMERICK, MAY 28.—An outrage disgraceful. in a civilized country has, we regret to state, been recently committed in the Barony of Coonagh,, in this County. 'A pretty young girl, 'scarcely. seventeen years of age, of wealthy connexions, at Pallis Green, and entitled, in her own right, to a fortune of 2001. having gone on Wednesday seins tight to visit a married sister residing at balty• under, the house Mt attacked the following night by an armed banditti, who, after firing se' veral shots, for the purpose of ineituidation, broke in the windows and door, and dragged out the hap, less victim of brutal passion, who, from terror, had fallen into 3 swoon—in a state of insensibi- lily, and with only the covering of a cloak and pettiCont, the poor girl . was token some miles across the country, to a lonely house In, the neighbourhood of Galbally, where a ruffian, named Patrick Re wll, a blacksmith, of infamous ehsrae, tcr, whom she had never spoken to, nor even seen, but once 'before; by force . comideted her ruin. Intelligence of this atrocious transaction having, early on Friday morning, reached Mr. Godfrey Mas• sy, that excellent Magistrate, with his wonted lie• tivity, went Imme&ately in pursuit of the of. fender, and searched many of the i10115e9, but in vain; Ata express being sent of to Major 0'D0... noghue, at Tipperary, he inatantly proceeded with the whole of his admirably-mounted Police lista. blishment, to the vicinity or Galbally, where he set On fain so close a searchots soon obliged the ruffian, Rawley, to fly from the house where he had lodged his victim. The fellow, although closely put'• sued for some miles, effected his escape, by taking to the bogs, The unfortunate girl was restored to her friends, and two wretches of, her own sex, who were principles in the, outrage, have been committed to the county gaol for trial. The ship Sealeby Castle, arrived off the Wight the 3d ,instant, parted with the Marquis of Ely in the Channel on the 2d instant, sailed from China the 24th January, and left St. Helena the 15th April. The Lady Castlereagh and Cambridge left St. Helena on the same slay. The Fort William anti Regent, from China, Arrived at St. Helena on the 16th April. Saw a ship standing in False Bay, supposed to be the Alceste, on the 29th March. Lord AMOSAST was to leave China about the 28th January. Passenger per Scaleby Castle, Sir Gtio, STAUNTON, Bart, A gang of swindlers have been successfully car rying on depredations at Manchester to a consi derable amount ; goods to the value of 19,0001. are said to. have been obtained by them. They generally represented themselves as travellers foe eminent !rouses in town, and front the plausible appearance of their bills, they unfortunately sue ceeded to the above extent. The Ticket, No, 12,986, drawn yesterday a Prize of Fifteen 'Thousand Pounds, was sold in one Half, two Eighths, and four Sixteenth Shares, by RICHARDSON, QOODLUCK, and Co.; they have the greatest happinesi in announcing this to. their Friends, the Public, it being a repetition ,of the good fortune attending Purchasers at their Offices, for on thalast Day of Drawing, Tuesday, the 20th May, they sold and shared the ,following Capi, tals No, 8,109 a Prize 420,000 10,174 a Prize of 1,u1)0 i a Prise of l,OOO 32,700 a Prize of buo sic. etc. ize. The fortunate Holders of any, of the above Shares are requested to apply for immediate payment at either of the Offices of 111CUAtips0N, Goormuctt, and Co. 104, liank-buildings, Cornhill - , or facing the Gate of the King's Mews, Charing-Cross where all business in the Public Funds is transacted with fidelity and honour. In addition to the defective state of t he se er . borough from the dry-rot, it seems the Devon shire, also a third-rate, at Woolwich, is, if pos. sible, in a worse condition, which was discovered on,being taken into the dock for repairing. The ship is between tour and Eve years old, and bus never been further from the Thames then the Norf. This`circumstance is no criterion to judge of the cause front whence this mischief originate', for it is found that the Maidstone frigate„ that was ac tively employed on the Ametican toast, daring the late war, is iu a similar state.
