31ANSION-ILOUSE.
Thurs.—Yesterday Mr. John Hiencarn, a gentleman engaged
in mercantile husiness, rind residing in America-square, waited
; upon the Lord :slayer, and begged lair Lordship's advice in a mat-
: ter of great importance to the inhabitants of the pariah in which he
resided. In consequence of his Lordship's decision in a late case
respecting tithes, h^ had received a notice from the agents of Roger
! Kynastnn, the 'ay impropriatne of that parish (St. Botolph's, AW.
i gate, in Portsoken iVersl), calling for payment of four quarters ar-
rears of tithes, doe at Christmas, &mounds% to Id. las. ; and in.
forming him, that sinless the same be paid an or before Thursday
next, a bill would be Wed in Chancery. Mr. Blencarn, under the
cirentnatariees, begged to know, whether his Lordship could in
any way interfere, or the claim be resisted, without taking it into
'Chancery. Ile was desirous of misting the claim, but he could
I not think of singly encountering the horrid delay, expense, and tin-
! certainty of a Chancery suit.
The LORD MAYO' said, that however oppressive the proceed.
ing might be, he could net interfere ; and his advice was to those
who felt the proceeding as oppressive, to call a public meeting, and
'petition Parliament foe redress,and a proper settlement of the claims
of the clergy.
Mr. Blencarn left the arum., as we understood, with a determi-
nation to set upon his Lordship's advice, and try to get the parish.
Liners together upon the subject.
RT•AL Macalpine and Mr. Money, two rival
frisiours, residing in ThreadneesPe-street. were summoned for
keeping two lire bears, which were not autaiently secured to pre.
vent danger or annoyance to the public.
Brady and another street-keeper represented the annoyance and
danger occasioned ny the animals to be very great, and it appeared
that the rival decorators each kept a bear for the puq.e of demou.

exterior of their caputs, that it is not scented suet, or hog's lard,
or anything else but genuine bear's pease which they (the proprie-
tors) selL
A smart young man, with Ms hair cot and curled with mathe-
matical precision, presented himself before the Lord Mayor, and
said he had the honour to aid Mr. Money, who unfortunately was
et Paris, and could not therefore attend his Lordship's summons.
The deraty, in answer to the charges that had been made against
his master's beat, assured his Lordship that it was the pink of pm.

cage was so far from the window as to prevent the possibility of its
reacting any one. It could only be seen, and surely there could be
no harm in the mere sight of such an animal.
The Loan MAVOR--Yes there can. If your mother had hap-
pened to have seen such an animal, we in4rftt have bad a young
boar before us now instead of a spruce young barber. (Laughter.)
If it be not removed, I shall ender it to be indicted as a nuisance.
The yottng frisieur begged to state, that whatever he had said in
defence of his master's bear did not apply to any other ksisisnot.
It would doubtless promme the peace of the neighbourhood if the
opposi:inn bear were enntinnd.
Mr. Slacalpine declaimed with fury in defence of his bear, and
endeavoured to make the Lord Mayor believe that iu its nature and
its manners it was as harmless as a lamb.

The Loon MAron told Mr. Macslpine thee it might be as be
pkried in that respect, but if he suffixed it to remain loose, or to
create any further annoyance, it should certainly be indicted as a

nmrance.
Upon this understanding the parties retired.
