INAUGURATION OF THE NEW SHERIFFS.
On Saturday the annual ceremony of +leering- in
the sheriffs foe the ensuing year took pleas at the Court of
Exchequer. Shortly after 2 o'clock the civic cortege, con-
sisting of the Lor I Mayor, the Recorder, the new and out-
going sheriffs, and other functionaries of the corporation I
arrived at the landing-place at Wesffiainster•bridge in the
City-barge, and walked in on to the court, whips
they were received by the ursitor Baron, and the hangs-
ISDOI was proceeded with.
The Recuituni, in introducing the new sheriffs, said he
had te present to the court Thomas Quested nude and
Jacob Emanuel Goodhart, Mmrs., the two gentlemen who
bad been sleeted by the citizens of London to fill the
elks obliterate of London and Middlesex for tl.e ensuing year.
Mr. nazis was the younger son of a gentleman of ancient
haft in Yost, his father having for 50 years tilled the office
of magistrate of Myths. One of his brothers had, when
captain of the Queen Charlotte, fallen in the service of his
country at Lake Brio, and another, Major Firnis, wee at
that moment at the head of his regimert, the 55th Native
Infantry, advancing upon Moultan, the limiest seat of war
in India. For the sheriff had been reserved commercial
enterprise and municipel distinction ; and it must not be
forgotten that his had been the first London house to esta-
blish a factnry at Bagdad, in Asiatic Turkey. Mr. Finals
had passed rapidly through his various civic distinctions, and
only required his coming year of shrievalty to qualify him for I
the high and distinguished office of Lord Mayor of the City of
London. His confidently trusted that during the coming
year Mr. Filial, would establish fresh claims on the coati
deuce of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Jacob Emanuel Goodhart,
his associate in office was originally of German extraction,
but his family had been settled in England sines 1752, nearly
a astary, end had acquitted themselves with honour and
integrity as British inesatii, and he himself possessed, in
as ample fortune, the means of dispensing that generous
italit and that extensive charity which became his
dWaga' office. The united efforts of both gentlemen
would be directed to the efficient discharge of their public
slaty, and if they wanted any incentive to such a course, it
WWI be f,.und in the example of their predecesion, who
had sited in such a manner during their year of office, as to
shah an themselves an unanimous vote of thanks from the
Liven .IL.
The Citable Baron, in expressing the concurrence of the
grows sad the court in the choice of the citizens of London,
eeaeag~ratalated them on the tranquillity which their city had
enhßind during a period when the rest of Europe was eon-
vellenk a het which proved the excellence of our municipal
end Maw national institutions. That our country was not hke
ethers., at this moment the scene of insurrection or military
=tam, was mainly attributable to the fact that men of
wire always, as in the present instance, ready to step
bum& and fill °Mess of trust and respondbility,widn the sole
maim of doing good to their fellow-citizens. His lordship
esselsded by complimenting the outgoing sheriffs on their'
senduct during their year of office.
The usual formalities having been gone through, the civic
functionaries retired as they had entered, in procession.
Tate Dinriza.—ln the evening the new sheriffs enter- I
tained a distinguished party of upwards of 200 gentlemen
at dinner, at the London Tavern ; the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor presiding. It is almost needless to say that the hest
comprised every delicacy in and out of meson, or that the
wines were unexceptionable in variety and abundance. All
present were loud in commendation of the entertainment,
and of the princely hospitality of their worthy hosts. A
musical party, under the direction of Mr. Grattan Cooke,
sang she and madrigals during the evening.—The usual
loyal and constitutional toasts having been successively
proposed and duly responded to,
Mr. Sheriff Fuewia proposed the health of the Lord
Mayor, at the sum time thanking his lordship for being so
kind as to take the chair on that occasion. His lordship hail
most effieiestly discharged his important duties daring an
eventful year, and hed therefore earned the goodwill and ap-
probation of his fellow-citizens. (The lout was responded
to with much cheering.)
The LOW) DILATOR briefly returned thanks, observing that
muck of the credit of the put eventful year was owing to
the conduct of his efficient colleagues, the late sheriffs. On
entering upon office, he (the Lord Mayor) held asked his
fellow-eitinens for a vote of confidence, and that having been
coneeded to him, he had gone on fearlessly and sseeenhilly
in the discharge of his important duties. He hoped that we
should sever see a return of the events of the pest year, bat
is say ease he felt sue that the 'Mann of Landon would

MARTLEBONE VESTRY.—ABANDONMENT OF THE
PROPOS= INC/LlAlll or Tan POLICIRLTS.-111r. Flood
read a report of the committee appointed to prevent the in-
creased police rata being enforced. The committee had an
interview with the metropolitan polim cenunissiosen, who
freely admitted the injustice and eon-necessity of the in-
creased rate of 4,0001., that being the exam beyond what
the parish was rated to for the year, and beyond what the
rate-payers ware lad to believe would be required. The corn-
MiniOnera kindly consented waiving their demand for the
excess until the collection of the rate next year. Bat, u the
conunissionors had no alternative hat to *bey the law and
onions the high rate, the committee recommended the
vestry to petition the legialature to give to the police cum-
mitaionm the power of taking a less sum than the sixpenny
rate.—Kr. Garnet mimed the adoption of the report, and
taproom' a determination to resist, by every constitational
mew, the increase of the polies rate, u it was unjust and
usuteeeseary.-.-Mr. Miehie wended the motion, which after
some discussion was carried, and the vests, adjourned.
