THE EMPEROR. OP "urn
• .
A most superb saddle, . with suitable horse furni-
ture, is now making at Atte'', opposite to South-
.aalpton-street, in the Strand. for the Black Em-
peror, De:salines, whose arms are richly emblazoned
on the housings. The saddle, which is of exquisite
workmanship, is covered with red Morocco, beau-
tifully stitched and ornamented with yellow silk.—
The trappings are of the finest scarlet cloth, adorn-
ed with broad silver lace, massy tassels, and a deep
fringe. The holster (tips (of the same materials)
are embroidered with two liens rampant, issuing
from a hand-is-hand, supporting between their
fore feet an Imperial Ditseem. Above the Crean
are engraved the words " Arnie D'Haute,"
and beneath the Union, that truly appropriate
and emphatic motto, " Liberte ou-la-nsort."—
The whole has a very splendid appearance, and is
justly calculated to meet the admiration, and to suit
the gawdy taste, of the trans-Atlantic hero, for
whom it is intended. This saddle and furniture,
together with a magnificent whip and bridle (the
head-piece of which is of shell-work), are ordered by
a mercantile house in the city, and are meant, we
understand, as a present for the Black Emperor of
St. Domingo. Twenty-four more, of a similar de-
scription, are to accompany it, for Isis equerries, aides-
de-camp, and staff, as likewise an elegant side-sad-
dle, for her sable Majesty, the Empress of all the
Haytians. The whole, which is well worthy the
observation of the curious, will be completed in the
course of a few weeks, and will cost upwards of
2000 guineas.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the Painter-stainers'
and Dyers Companies, met at the Hall of the
former, in Trinity-lane. and before one o'clock set
out from theace toe Guildhall, preceded by Messrs.
Miles and Branscomb, the two new Sheriffs, in their
very superb carriages. The officers and servants of
twoCorperationc attended on the occasion,gaily
decked with large bunches of blue and yellow rib-
twns in their bats, and some with sarsnet scarves of
the same colours. Much of the pump, however,
which is unril on similar occasions, such as musk
playing, and colours flying, was almost iatitely
omitted, on account of the Sabbath di; ; the band,
indeed, attended at the entrance into Guildhall, and
playel while the new Sheriffs alighted from their
carri.nges. Immediately after the arrival of the new
Sheriffs, the Lard Mayor, the late Sheriffs, and seve-
ral Aldermen, came in procession, preceded by the
Marshals and City Officers. from the Mansion-house,
and. in a very sort time. tobkiheir stations on the
'listings, in the Common Hall. Proclamation was
then made by the Common Crier, and the High and
Under Sheriffs were swore into °keg, with the astral
forms.
The High Sheriffs, who till now wore black
robes, were invested with purple, and the chains of
their office. The Lord Mayor and Alder Men then
left the husMsgs, and returned to the Mansion-
loam instate.
Immediately after, the late and present Sheriffs
proceeded to the Court of Cemm..m Pleas, where
the list of prisoners, at present in custody, in the
die Brent gaols, was read over, and the Cus-
tody delivered to the latter, with the usual cm-
'lronies. The Sheriffs then. followed by their Com-
panies, returned to the Painter-Stainers' Hall, in
Trinity lane, to partake of a superb dinner, gives by
Mr. Miles.
Mr. Braascomb's dinner will take place on Wed-
nitedarnext.
An immense number of elegantly dressed females
attended to witness the ceremony. The galleries is
Guildhall were filled, and the Hall itself was
crowded to an amazing degree.
The company at dinner were numerous. Alder-
man Comte, on his heaith being drank, returned
thanks in a neat speech, in which he declared his
determination to persevere in thp principles and po-
litics he had hitherto professed.
Tine chimer was most elegant, consisting of veni-
son and game of all kinds, and was followed by an
etcellent desert, consisting of pine apples. melons.

Their Royal gighnesies the Prince' of Wales and
the Duke of Clareike, since their arrival here, have
occupied the aparthients provided for them ; the
Prince at Mr. Lindley's hawse, and. the Duke at
Dr. Chorley's, on South Parade. (in the appear-
ance of the Prince at the ivindosr, etch day, he was
greeted with every deMenstratidn of loyalty and
respell, by an immense 'concourse of rople. The
great tatigye the Prince had already undergone,
from the incessant attentions paid by His Royal
Highness to the country, dining his tour, we fear,
had somewhat impaired his health, which probably
induced His Royal Highness to avoid, as much as pos-
sible, a public reception ; but we observed, with sin-
cere satisfaction, that on the Grand Stand, and at the
Roonts,the Prince's usual affability,and most amiable
deportment, accompanied him. The anxious solici-
tude of the surrounding multitude to behold the Heir
Apparent of our beloved Sovereign, and his Royal
Brother, whose gentle manners excited universal
esteem and admiration, must be highly gratifying
to these illustrious strangers. On the day of his
arrival, the Southern Regiment of West Riding, Yeo-
manry Cavalry, commanded by Col. Foljambe, and
the Dbncaster Volunteer infantry, commanded by
Colonel Wrightson, were drawn up opposite the
Prince's lodgings, when' His Royal Highness was
pleased to express, is General Orders, through
Lieutenant-General Vyse, his Royal approbation of
their appearance under arms.
Their Royal Highnesses, from a consideration of
the inconrenirnce that might attend accepting the
invitation of the Mayor and Corporation, to a din-
ner at the Mansion +feast, at so public a nine, !flirt
done Earl Fitzwilliam the honeur of dining with -
him every day, at his apartments at Mr. Tootle%
in French Gate, accompanied by a see& party. His
Royal Highness also declined accepting the military
honours of a guard, &c. conscious that the best se-
curity of a British Prince rests in the bears* of a
brave and loyal people ; nor can a prouder trait be
exhibited of the excellence of our glorious constitu-
tion, and sincere attachment to our beloved Sove-
reign and every branch of his August Family.
Their Royal Highnesses attended the rooms, to
which were upwards of 400 subscribers.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Clarence
leave this place to-day, to dine with Mr. Mellish, at
Blyth • ride over to Keeton, the seat of the Duke
of Leeds, on Saturday, and return to Blythe to din-
ner ; and visit M. A. Taylor, Esq. at Ledstone
Hall, on Sunday, where they remain till their re-
turn to town to attend the funeral of Mr. Fox.
Our Races have been more fashionably and nu-
merously attended than ever remembered, and the
very excellent sport, together with the fine course,
the Grand Stand, and general neat appearance of
the town, we understand excited the particular ad-
aniratiosof the Royal Brothers.

, ASSASSINATION.
Mr. Browning, the late High Bailiff for the city
of Westminster, has exhibited a complain; against
a very respatable gentleman, who render in Surrey,
charging him with endeavouring to procure a man
to assassinate him. The gentleman and Mr.
Browning, some years since, were very intimate, bat
differed upon some family business ; after which the
gentleman went abrbad. The ground of the charge
was, that during his absence from England, he
wrote several letters to hit coachman, urging him
to form a plan with another man, to lie in wait for
Mr. Browning, and assassinate him, for which they
were to be handsomely rewarded; and if he did not
comply, the coachman was to be dismissed the ser-
vice. 'l'he gentleman is returned to England ; and
on Thursday the business was heard before Mr.
RIAD, privately, when the Magistrate thought it
right to hold the gentleman to load in 10001. and
two sureties in SOM. each, to keep the peace to-
wards Mr. Browning. The business, however, was
resumed privately, before Mr. Omegas'. on &Mr-
day, for several hours. Mr. Gurney attended/or
Mr. Browning.
PROFANE SWEARING AND DRI/RtliittlYSS.
On Wednesday evening, Mr. Way, a respedahle
publican in Covent Garden, aneodied. before Mr.
Gami•si, and stated, that a aim of rite name of
Gerrish, a salesman in Covent Garden, was in the
habit of using his house, bat be frequently `got in-
toxicated, and when that was the nese, constantly
abused his customers, and every bodj.ia the house,
made use of the most blasphemous 'language, and,
in fad, became such a nuisance, that he came to
a resolution not to serve him with any snore liquor.
This had not the desired effea, for Mr. Gerrish
went to another public house in the neighbourhood,
and got intoxicated in general every evening. after
which it was his constant pradice to go to Mr.
Way's house, and alma' every body those. awaking
use of very blasphemous and obscene langtutge, and
behaving so filthy, that all the customers left the
house. This statement was confirmed by several
respedable inhabitant. The worthy Mai:smears
lamented, that although the conclud of Mr.
Gerrish was so disgraceful to him as a man,
he had no means of giving the landlord of a
well-regulated house relief. He thought of having
him placed in t'se stocks for his beastly drunken
condue, but was informed the stocks bad been taken
down a short time since; and had not been put op
again. Mr. GRAHAM then told Mr. Way to recol-
led some of the blasphemous eaths he had heard
Gerrish swear, which he did ; and his information
was taken agreeably to the statute, charging Gar-
fish with swearing, last Tuesday, twice, th. horrid
oath of 1' G—d damn my eyes."
On Saturday, Mr. Gerri.h attended a summons
to answer the charge before Mr. GIAHAM. Ger-
rish pleaded Geili to both charges. Mr. Ge•NAM
asked him, what he called himself ? He answered,
a tradesman ; it was, therefore, only in the power
of the Magistrate, to fine him two shillings for each
oath, and five shillings costs. Mr. GRAH•II la-
mented very much, that there were no stocks to put
him in, for his drunkenness ; cautioned him against
going any more to Mr. Way's house, to make a dis-
turbance; and told him, it he was brought before
him again, for swearing, the penalty and costs
would be doubled, the next time they would be
trebled, kc.
PARISH RATES.
A respeEtable female inhabitant of the parish of
St. Clement Danes, was summoned for non-pay-
ment of rates, by Mr. Johnson, the Collator.
The Lady stated, that it was not convenient for
her to pay the whole of the demand, but bad offered
Mr. Johnson eight guineas, in part ; which he re-
fused to take.
Mr. GRAHAM gave the Lady till the 10th of Oc-
tober, to pay the rates. He censured the Collator's
conduit fur not taking the eight guineas, in part ;
and said, if be belonged to the parish, and the eight
guineas were not got, he would make him
pay it.

Saturday, James Lisa/. alias Jemmy from Tram,

it came out that some steps had been made towards
