They have 'booth! that they should hest carry into acti-

Ist. That every slice was to be restored to the sitsarios,
In respect to the norher of persons employed, end of their
respective ruminates's, in which it stood in 1797, unless sore
adequate cease condoned to exist which rendered some
alteration eocessary.
2d. Thal where Inman of bursas, or the me►s correct

cessary to preserve establishments either created or enlarged
sines 1797, the easolunieste of the officers comprise there
eatablishasents should he maisnilated, es nearly as the change
of circumstances would admit, to those received by perms,
in similar ritostione is 1797.
3d. That if any office earlier is 1797 was found to be no
longer necessary to the public service, or that its comba-
ts:ears might be properly reduced, such office shook! be
abolish' d or redacted in value, as the case might admit.
Proceeding upon the foregoing rules, my Lords began by
a earefnl ewes's-seisms of the establishmisnt of the T y
in 1797 and as it now exists; and finding that a very liege
increase bad taken place bosh in mew et of the namher of
persona employed, and the amorist of their emoluments in
some ports *flint office, they directed a plan to be preparid
of a new establishment, in which no greater number of
officers should be ►etaiord than was necessary f« r the
lion .r the hearten of the Treasury in its present st•te,
eu-
larted as it has been by the Incorporation of the whole 'mei.
nese of the Irish Treasury, as well as greatly increased its
other teepee s, audio which the emoluments of each class of
°Seem should be as nearly assimilated to those of corre-
spondiag sitratioos in 1797, as the alteration of the circum-
stances of the office would fairly adult!.
Sorb sr phis hiving been prepared accordingly, and sp.
peeved by their Lordships, they have directed that the pew
establishment 'ball be cowsidered as taking effect from the
lath of January neat, and that every new appointment or pro-
motion which may take place from that day shall be consi-
dered as subject to the new regulations.
In order to introduce this new system its early as may b'
practicable, yet with as little inennvenieuce as possible to
the individuals whose bitterns may be affected, they have
directed that every person whose situation as not to be abo-
lished shall main his pri meat emoluments (subject to such
payment to the superannuated food as may be due therefrom)
until by promotiou or allowance for length of service, he
shall be entitled, under the stew regslaires, to a salary at
least equal to that which be sow possesses.

THE ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Ste—l thank you for the insertion of sty letter addressed
to the Independent Livery of London, inserted in your Paper
of this 'lay. I therein stated that the rotation bevies fallen
upon Alderman Magoay last Christmas, that geatleman did
not refuse the office, but requested the indulgence of hisiel-
low.citixeus fur one year, that is, until the prevent election;
that the rotation, therefore, clearly fell upon the Alderman
next in seniority, via. Mr. Heygate, but that this Geatlemee,
front motives of delicacy and respect towards Alderman
Maguey, was unwilling to precede him, and also begged the
indal f the Livery. This statement being decisive of
the point I seek to maintain, it is sot my. wish that it should
be received without proof. I have therefore made the fol-
lowing extract from the address of Mr. Heygate tu the Livery
of London, dated Southend, Sussex, September 27, lOU,
and published is revere, of the Load'''. Papers :—"
derstanding that Alderman Maguey, whose name is next
in rotation for the Mayoralty, although he declines offer. .
ing himself any way as a Candidate, will, in the erent •
of the Livery being pleased to elect him, undertake
the discharge of its duties, I !birth myself called upon to
state that from every feeling of delicacy and respect. I
sin anxious not to be placed by my friends before that Geo.
Hereon at the approaching election." These are the avowed
■nd recorded sentiments of Mr. Heygate in 1220. Alder.
'nee Naval then declined to offer ►imself, but so great
were the respect and delicacy of Mr. Heygate, be could not
think of opposing hie election. Now, however, when Al.
derma Maguey does offer himself, Mr. Heygate forgets all
his respect and delicacy, and comes forward iu direct end
active opposition. I maintain, therefore, that Mr. Heygate
has disqualified himself as a competitor to Mr. Maguey on
the present occasion ; and that in offering himself iii oppo-
silica to that Gentleman, be subjects himself to the charge
of inconsistency. The friends who would precipitate his
election now, will not, I Wok, best consult his interests,
whro it is considered that next year will be his regular turn,
wbea he may offer htsiself•with increased chance of suc-
cess, and free front any objection. Both Gentlemen are
highly respectable, and worthy of the oiler, but as far as I
can learn, the election of Alderman Magnay would give
g I sat isfact ion. A LIVERYMAN. •

THE L.4TR FiRE IN GRACICHURCH-STREET.

Resides the two firemen ■nd turnenat, there tens a fourth
man lust his tile at that calamitous fire, whose name was
nut known till yesterday; his name was George Koss, a jour-
neyman carpenter, and lived *1 40, Parker street, Drury-
lane, where he borer a good character. Krum his wife's
statement, it appears that he and she were al mallet, after
liar they went into • public-house at a late hour un last
Saturday night was • week (the night this dreadful fire broke
out), she went home and left him in the public-huuse, since
which hoer the did not see him; nut commit home that sight
she dreaded he might get into some scrape, and she made
inquiry at different watch-houses; hearing no account of
him she inquired next day (Monday) at the different police
offices, with no better esteem; she also mrieired at the va.
clues lenient.% mid hospitals, but her search was fruitless. At
length, from the circumstance of his being missing since the
night of Ib.• fire, she thought that 114 might be the person
whose body was not owned. An inquest sat on the bushes, mid
they weir buried la-i Sunday ; the dkriollsl.l3l4 woman re-
paned to make slat ** cee awry isiqrsir y, and from his stockings
earl some fragments of his etershee, she was convinced they
were 11111 m of her isuebeuel, and bet frig f un the thsrovery
war excessive. She stated that they bad been this tees, years
married, and that that Saturday night 4114 the first be was
ever ahseat from turner. It is rorrjrctured that like• a great
