CITY BUSlNESS.—Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, to receive the answers of the Sheriffs Elea, when JONATHAN MILES, Esq. ap peared, and entered into the usual bond to serve the - office of Sheriff of Middlesex and London for the year ensuing.

But we are sorry to learn, that this shameful affair has occasioned the dismission of one of the Officers of the Institution, a Gentleman of well-known talents and literature ; and whose only fault appears to have been too much confidence in the person by whom it was so wickedly abused. The venerable Bishop of London, however, has, it is said, kindly interposed in favour of the Gentleman in question, and we shall be glad to hear that suc cess has attended his liberal endeaVours.

It is Well knoWn tbat Mr. ALEXANDER HoitNE; the. English Agent, received an intimation last year to quit Ratisbon. That circumstance produced the following correspondence; wh i ch has never been offered to the public attention :-- " The Undersigned, especially charged by His Britannic Majesty with the business of the British Envoy at the Diet of RatiShon, during the absence of the latter, has been, in a manner not less strik ing than unprecedented, turned Out of his private residence ; an at in diied OppoSition to the Laws of the Empire, which admit of no foreign jurisdic tion, as well as contrary to the form and manner of justice : because all legal inquiry and justification have been refused, and consequently all conne&ibn with the Poye and the'Arch-ChanCellor, in order to obtain due satisfadion for the violation sustained, has been set aside.: But since the Undersigned sup poses it possible that his presence may be necessary till the arrival of His Majesty's Minister at Ratisbon, he has the honour to apply to his Excellency Baron Vox REDEN, merely as a British Subject, and, as such, he solicits the protedion of the Hanove rian Envoy. " The Undersigned is convinced that his protee , tion cannot create any difficulty, because the Envoys of His Britannic Majesty at Munich and Ratisbon afford a similar protedion to all-His Majesty's Ger man Subje&st ," June 29, 1805. " ALEX. HoRNE.'; ANSWER. " The Undersigned has the honour to transmit the folloing to Mr. ALEX. HORNE, in reply to his Note of the 29th ult.:--However willingly the Undersigned would afford Mr, HortNE his proted tit= as the Envoy of the Eletior of Brunswick, and which ,he, as a Subjeet of his Britannic Majesty and t',loBtorof Brunswick Lunenburgh, is every. way justi fied in demanding of him, it is the more painful to the Undersigned, to find himself under the disagree able necessity of withholding this proteaion; so far as it relates to Mr. ALEX. Hoatit's residence at liatisbon. " The intention of His Majesty, as Eletior of Brunswick Lunenburgh, is calculated to convince the world, that the conne&ion,of the Ele&oral Dig nity with the. Crown of Great Britain, which has been represented in such odious colours, is by no means of that nature as to occasion auy prejudice to the other States of Europe. According to these principles, . the Undersigned must regulate his condco " If his. Grace the Eleaoral Arch-Chancellor has judged it convenient to remove Mr. HORNE, under various groundless imputations relative to his con neaions with the Head of the Rotnish Church, and in order to effect this removal, has Made use of his authority as . .Sovereign, the Undersigned, should he agree to Mr. .A..Hott-,N)r,!'s reqnest, would piace himself in no small degree of embarrassment, par ticularly as by so doing he would be guilty of an at 7 tack upon the rights of ..his Grace the. Eteacral' Arch-Chancellor as a Sovereign ; and this would be so much the more conspicuous, since Mr. ALEX. ijORNE haS publicly acknowledged hiinselfas a Mem. : ber of a Religious Foundation, and so far i s looked upon as a subje& of his Grace the Electoral Arch 7 Chancellor. In this situation of affairs,, even the avowed inten tions of His Britannic Majesty, as Eleaor, of Bruns wick-Lunenburgb, would, be totally perverted ; on the part. of the Envoy, any protection whatever should be afforded, in dired opposition to the mea sures of .the. Ministry of his GraCe the Eleaoral Arch-Chancellor. The , French Envoy would not fail to take occasion of yepresentingthis proteCtion, iu opposition of the Sovereign rights of the Arch, Chancellor, as an unqUestionable proof that the connection of the Eleaoral dignity with the British Crown, in the person of His Britannic Majesty, is of dangerous consequences to the tranquillity and safety of the German States ; .and it would neces sarily follow, according to the known disposition of the German States, that impressions very unfitvour able to the interests of His Majesty, in his double capacity of Eleaor and King, must , arise. " Under these considerations, Mr. ALEXANDER HORNE,' of whose extensive information, and pa triotic sentiments, the Undersigned entertains the highest opinion, will be satisfied, that the interest of His Majesty, in his double capacity, as King of Great Britain and Elector of Brunswick Lunen ' burgh, necessarily requires that the proteCtion of the Envoy, as far as it' concerns a residence in the City of Ratisbon,. eonnot be conceded. . " The Undersigned avails himself of this op portunity to assure Mr. ALEXANDER HORNE of the distinguished esteem with which he has the honour to remain, &c. _ , - cc VON REDEN," v " liatiston, July 2, 1806." ‘, Mrs. C.

He said that they did not come forward to promote the interests of party, but to support the honour and security of the. country ; and asserting that if the hour of trial canie, they would be found among our best defenders. This speech, and the toast that occaiioried it, were received with the warmest applauses.

The' former . Usselly furnished the paper, and the latter made InS charge for the printing, at so much per sheet. The parties in this case cot-Awl - Iced dealings'in the year 17g9, when the Defendant,'Mr. Mawnsan, be canie the successor of an eminent .Bookseller in the. Poultry (Mr. Dilly), add so continued dealing till igos, with the Plaintiff, as his printer. It might have been supposed, that, in cOnsequence of'tlit fire at Mr. Gillet's workshop, all his vouchers hav ing been destroyed, be should not be able to make out the account ' • but he should be able to prove th e fans beyond a doubt. There had been a mutual confidence between these parties for many years ; and be did not think it necessary to travel into all the books which had been printed for the Defend ant; it was sufficient to say, that the works which were finished, the Plaintiff wished to have out of his way; but if it was to ee. contended that, so long as a work remained on t ie Printer's premises, ready to be delivered, he was to be responsible for it, it would be miserable. to charge him with that responsibility when it so remained for the convenience of the Book seller; and to make the present Plaintiff, under such circumstances, the insurer of such property, was the most monstrous proposition in law that ever was heard of. These observations, he meant, should apply to the only two works which should, he ima gined, come under consideration ; those were, Nu gent's Pearl Di&ionary, and The Younger Anachar sis's Travels through Greece. The first was almost finished, and some part of it had been preserved from the fire, and delivered, on the Defendant's ac count, to another Bookseller. As to Anacharsis the Younger, it was a most ill-fated work. It had been begun in 1804; the copy-right was nearly expired, and every thing had been done to expedite the w o rk, and all would ° have been ready fur publics on long, before, but the Editor delayed the last shegs, and although pressed exceedingly,• they could not be got from him; and the whole of the work, s„, far as it was finigheds was consumed in the gene:al confla gration of Mr. Gillet's property. Wnat. was nacit singular; M r . Hamilton, another Printer,- had had the same work alniost'finished, when tie was visited by a similar calaniq. If then, the Editor did not' supply the necessary materials to go on with the work, he wished to know how thebefendant was to beCome the insurer, unless by an express contract to . that of ed ? No such contrad was in existence; and if the Defendant had not effeded an in,urance under such a contrast; he was liable to an action fOr negle&, but it could not, in the present case, be made a matter of set-off, If it was necessary:to go into evidence of all the items, lie.was ready to do so. A direct balance had been struck between 'the parties ; but, for the present, he contented himself by proving the work done, and would: await the answer of the Defendant's Counsel. After some observations on both sides, relati‘e to the statement of accounts, Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD, on the part of Mr. Mawman; readily admitted the portion 'of Nugent's Pearl Di&ionary delivered, and various: other items in the account, leaving .the question merely upon the balance of 18181. which included the edition of Anacharsis, and the paper delivered for that work. William Mitchell, the Managing Clerk of the Plkintiff, proved the Defendant's employing the Plaintiff to print Anacharsis, and his computing the amount, by the number of sheets, so far as it was finished, which was within a few sheets; when the fire took place, , on the 12th December, 1805, at the warehouse, in Salisbury-square, when all the pre mises were consumed. Mr. Mawman wanted, the work done with dispatch, which was effeCted as far as it could,be, while supplied with copy by _the Au thor; 'but, for want of copy, after frequent applka lions to Mr. Beaumont, the Editor, the Compositors were first reduced from six to 'fonr, and, at last, only one man was left on- it, in consequence of the copy not being sufficiently supplied. The work contain- . .ed seven volutnes, with •a. supplemental one, and was finished; except the title and six 'or seven sheets, which also might have been completed in a fortnight or three weeks, brit for the delay -on the part of the Editor. This was a great inconvenience to the Plaintiff, who wished to have it cleared out of his warehouse. On his 'cross examination, Ile said, the paper was furnished by Mr. Mawman, and Mr. Gillet wished the work finished, not so much for the purpose of bringing it into the year's account, as to accommo date Mr. Mawman. The yearly account did not usually contain unfinished.works. die could not tell how much Mr. Gillet had received from the Impe rial Fire Office, hilt had heardit.was'.soool. nor did he know that Mr. Mawman,had attached any part of that sum in the Mayor's Court, 2dr tile paper ,die had. sent Mr. Gillet. Being re-examined, he said, the damage's by the fire to Mr. 'Gillet's private property would not .b 0 re placed for 50001. Robert Chapman and James Richardson, two of Mr. Gillet's compositors, stated, they were employ ed on Anachatsis 5.- at 'first five hands were engaged for several weeks upon it,' when some were taken off in congequenee of the Editor not furnishing sufficient copy ; they were at last reduced to one, whip alsova put upon other work for want of copy. were made for a supply of copy to 6a, work; which at last was finiihed all but a few sheets,
