day, the. Lord Mayor, Recorder. Alder-
men, Sheriffs, Common Council, &c. &c. went
from the Exhibition-house, William-street. to the
Castle, to present to his Grace the Loot Lieu-
tenant the freedom of their ancient and loyal Cor-
poration, accompanied with a suitable Address.
—Die Address, which was read by the Recorder, is
conceived in terms of great personal respell to his
Grace—acknowledges His Majesty's goodness and
regard for the weltare of the nation, in appointing
as Chief Governor a Nobleman of such exalted cha-
ra.ier, in whom the sobjea can confide, that he will
maintain our matchless Constitution—supporting the
laws with firmness, and administering them with
clemenc) ; preserving the public peace, and en-
c.nfraging the commerce of the natiJn. It concludes
with an assurance that his Grace may always rely
on the humble efforts of the Corporation in promot-
ing these great objes9s.
To this his Grace was pleased to return an
answer perfealy appropriate, and which gave the
highest satisfaaion to all who heard it. tie deli-
vered himself with energy ; and the corporation re-
tired with a most favourable impression of his
Grace, and a confident hope that his administration
would be honourable to himself, and beneficial to
the people.
Yesterday, a charity sermon was preached in
St. Thomas's church, by the Rev. Francis Jones, in
aid of the fund for relief of sick and indigent Room-
keepers, at which a eolleaion was made, amount-
ing to 4714. 19s. 91d. 'Their Graces the Lord Lieu-
tenant and Duchess of Bedford were present.
The Ball at the Rotunda, on Thursday night.
countenanced by the Duke and Duchess of Bedford,
who were present, for the benefit of Irish Manufac-
ture, must have had a very excellent effea to the
end which was intended by their Graces, as above
800 persons were in the rooms. The Duke and
Duchess were elegantly dressed in Irish stuffs, and
their liberal and patriotic example was followed by
the numerous company.
The principal performers already engaged for the
Rotunda Concerts, which will be patronised by
the Duke and Duchess of Bedford. are Miss
Sharp, from Bath, Mr. Philipps, Mr. Bellamy, and
Mr. Clifton, from Bath ; Mr. Alday is to lead, and
Sir John Stevenson will preside at the piano-forte.
The Concerts will commence the second week is
May.

On Wednesda, evening, at dusk, as a Gentleman
from the neighbourhood of St. Alban's was coming
to London, on horseback, he was overtaken at the
end of Finchley Common by a horseman, apparently
a Gentleman, attended by a groom. They entered
into conversation, when on a sudden the servant

rode up to the Gentleman and demanded his money,
which, with the assistance of his companion, he ob-
tained, to the amount of 201. The robbers rode off
at full speed towards Finchley. A scan has been
taken into custody on suspicion.
We are highly gratified in observing, that a spi-
rited subscription is now carrying on, in behalf of
the poor Germans, who are suffering under the
united pressure of famine and pestilence ; independ-
ently of the conscious pleasure resulting from
the exercise of true benevolence, much political
good must be derived from these exertions ; Mac-
roach as they will greatly promote, and widely ex-
tend, the sentiments of exalted respcd, entertained
for the British nation ; which, by pursuing the plan
in view, will ere itself a monument of eternal gra-
titude in the hearts of thousands .it their-fellow-
creatwes.
