VIE FEAST OP THE TABERNACLE.

This is a festival which is striltly observed by the I
Jews. It commenced on Saturday last, and will
continue for seven successive days. They always
celebrate it with great solemnity and splendour.
From happening abou,t the season of the vintage,
when the fruits of the earth are gathering in, it is
dedicated, in some measure, to the Harvest. The
first and last day., which are held particularly sa-
ted, are devoted to holy convocations, and other re-
igious forms. During the whole period of this
east, the different tribes have social meetings and
ejoicings, in temporary booths, etelled tor
th thei the
use. It is not consistent, it seems, wir
enets, to eat or drink, at this time, but in the open
air. The booths or tabernacles are put up by
those who have a garden or yard attached to their
habitations. Such as are without this convenience,
ate obliged to visit their friends and acquaintance.
The tabernacle being anciently intended for a move-
able residence, was fashioned after the manner of a
tent, and was constructed of palm branches, with
which treesJudeaabounded. The original idea is still
closely preserved, for they are at present composed
of only a slight frame work, lined inside with cloth,
and decorated with fruits and flowers. The roof is
partly of boughs, and partly of thatch, so as to af-
ford some shelter twin the weather, without alto-
gether excluding the light and the air, which it is
indispensibly requite. an this occasion, to have
admitted. In cormrsemora,on cf their formerly
living set long in portable tents, or temporary booths,
the chief plat of their ceremony appears to consist
in their taking their ni. als in these tabernacles, oat
of their dwelii.,gi, or, as they are pleased to consider
its its the open alr==g

Our influx of company has not been greater at
spy period of the season, than at the present time.
The Gmn Man continues, daily, to amuse the
seyne Promenaders with his eccentricities.
The workmen are now busily employed in fram-
ing the roof of the Riding School. which is to be
attached to the Pa Inc s's magnifisent stables. It
still inclose a space of $OO feet long, and 60 feet
wide.
The Masye.a of the Cass MONIES' ball, on Thurs-
day se'nnight, is expelled to be a bumper.
On Thursday, the 9th regiment of Cavalry
Matched from the Eastward, through Lewes, into
this town, and the ne;t morning proceeded on iti
route to, Portscaoutts for embaTkation with other
troops.
Last Thursday, the West Essex Militia, stationed
in Shoreham Barracks, were minutely inspeded by
Brigadier-General Poirta, whose expressions of
approbation, at the fine and soldier.like appearance
of the regiment, were equally honourable to both
officers and men.
The Little Hampton Volunteer Artillery, under
the command of Captain ROBEILT S. DATE, consist-
ing of 3 Lieutenants, 5 Serjeacits, 5 Corporals, '2
dimmers, and 100 privates, have, without one dis-
sentient voice, zzreed to continue their services, un-
der their prcseat Commander, according to tbe new
regulations.
Ihe hoists cast from the Ist Dragoon Guards,
and exposed to the hammer, before the King and
Queen door, on Thursday, were knocked down at
prices that much exceeded the Amlioneer's estimate.

this deletßable spot never experienced so full or

ed with fasitionable company. Mr. KING'S unrc- .
mated attention to the pleasure and accommodation
of the visitors, is spoken of in the warmest terms ;
and the bills and card parties are fully attended
every night. Neither bat the Theatre been de-
ficient in Attraetion : a romng &stirs, only twelve
years of age, much patronised, and very liberally
applauded, appeared on Thursday evening, for the
first time c n any stage, in the charaner of Young
Norval. The novelty of Saturday was an amateur, '
of fro small promise, who presented the audience
with what the play-bill termed " a rich colouring of
104 Oglay, after the manner of the late Mr. KinG."

NEW SHERIFFS OF LONDON.

TO 7

Yesterday being the usual day for the new Nil,.
of London and Middlesex, to attend at the Court
of Exchequer, in Westminster-tlall, and receive the
approbation of that Court to their appointment ;
a sumptuous breakfast was given by Messrs. Miles
and Branscomb, at the London Tavern ; when a
great number of the Common Council, etc. attend-
ed. About twelve o'clock they proceeded, headed
by a military band of music, the Waterman': Com•
pany, with the City Regalia, colon :A llyierg, drums
beating, bells ringing, &c. &c. to Guildhall, where
they joined the Lord Mayor, who had previously
arrived in his state carriage ; preceded also by the
State Trumpeters, a band of music, City Marshal,
&c. &c. Soon atter, the procession moved slowly
on, through Cheapside, St. Paul's, Ludgate-hill,
&c. and the whole embarked at Blackfriars,
Bridge, on hoard the City state Barges, and the
Company's Barges, belonging to the new She-
riffs, which were all decorated with ribbons,
colours, Etc. in an elegant and splendid style, and,
from the fineness of the weather, and smoothness of
the river, made a very gay and splendid appear-
ance. About two o'clock they arrit'ed at the Court
of Exchequer, where the Cursitor Baron, (\laseres)
waited their approach. Being introduced with the
usual ceremonies, the RECQRDER addressed die
Court neatly as follows :
" My Loan —I have the honour to present
at your Lordship's bar, Jonathan Miks, Esq. Citi•
ren and Paper Stainer, and James Branscomb,
Esq. Citizen and Dyer, who have heen chosen
from among their fellow citizens, to fiil the high
Mice of Sheriffs of London, and Sheriff of Midik.
sex. One of these gentlemen (Branscomb), alter
the city had called upon many other gentlemen to
execute this ()Lice conjointly with the other, in vuin,
came forward, and took upon him this high and
important trust. In him they have found a
long-tried and faithful servant, w;io has, for the last
2.5 years, done his duty as a member of their annual
Civic Parlhiment ; his loyalty to his Sovereign, his
attachment to our most gloriou. and excellent con-
stitution, and his rooted regards for the chartered
rights and privileges of his tellovocitizens, together
with the • trust already rep :scd in him, which his
sworn duty obliges him to fulfil, are the best pledges
for his condua m ratice. In this Gentleman (Miles),
they have the best nopes that he will not be less
united in the due execution of his office with his col-
league, than even if4hd hal a previous sworn duty to
perform. The City of London is well assured, that
they will pursue the striEt path of their duty, nei-
ther turning to the tight nor to the left, and that
they will not be biassed either by prejudice or emu-
Winced, public or private. pirated by these prin-
ciples. they must secure for themselves the bright
reward of so important and arduous an undertak-
Ing—the thanks and regard of their reilow-citizens.
—the late Slso iffs, John Ansley, Esq. and Alder-
man, and Thomas Smith, Esq. and Alderman, at-
tend to render to His Majesty air account of the
issues and profits of their office. Their amiable
eharader, their humanity to those unhappy persons
*deo were placed in their charge, their suavity of
manners, and conscientious disposal of the public
money committed to their care, have secured to
them the best washes of their *How citieenv, who.
acknowledged their gratitude, and declared their
fullest satistaelion, in a way I cannot express, but
which will be better eMiceived by my reading

(Here cue RECORDER read the resolutions sf
thanks to mese Gentlemen, alluded to in our Paper
of Yesterday.]
'l'pe CURSITOR Bsecris—" I, on the part of t).e
Croi.n, approve of the choice the City has made 41
these Gentlemen, and have no doubt but they wilt
discharge that office with credit to themselves, and
satisfaOion to their fellow-citizens.°
The usual Writs were then read, pro forma, and
the :ate Sheriffs, with their Deputies, were sworn to
their accounts.
Proclamation was then male for the City to do
suit and service, according to ancient custom ; and
the Senior Alderman (Mr. Smith) be:ng szrmmoned
for that purpose, went through the annual ceremony
of breaking the biilets, and counting the horse-shoes
and hob-nails. The Recorder then, in the name of
the Sheriffs, lucked the Baron to dinner, who de-
clined that honour.

The young man called Weeping ally, in custody
on suspicion of being the murderer of Ann. IVebb,
in I ligler's-lane, was yesterday ptivately examined,
before Mr. Gasitass, for upwards of two hours.
The ground of suspicion against this man, we un-
derstand, is his having been seen in her conapsnYi
pi erions to the discovery of the murder, at which
time they were quarrelling very violently, and he
threw some gin in her face. He was reminded to
the Brown Bear public-house.
Oa Saturday, two women, genteelly dressed went
into the shop of Mr. Thompson. linen-draper. in
New-street, Covent-garpii ; while one of them
was agreeing for a trifling article, the paler placed
her back against the inside of the window, and, in
a short time, told her companion. who was making
the purchase, she could not wait any. longer, and
left the shcp. Mr. Thompson immediately misted a
gown-piece ;he left the woman in the shop in charge
of a friend, and went in pursuit of the other. fie
overtook her in St. Martin's-lane ; brought her back,
and sent for Anthony, the Officer. Both the wo-
men denied having the property, but at length
agreed to discover the person wilo had, and took
the officer to a woman in Windmill-street, villa had
got the property. She had waited in the street,
and trick it from the wools's) as soon as she left the
shop. They were taken before Mr. GRAIIISI, and
committed for fulther ex irnination.

Er ITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
MR. Foil. on —I coon& it unnecessary to mike
any reply to sodie imiscrtinent Itilresuies• taken wish
my name by a ?dr. Gibbons, a, a meeting stated cc:
be of the Eleetors of Wear:Arum. held at •the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, t tt thn 2345 inst. as re;
ported in some of the Morning Prints. It bas, how-
ever, been suggested to me by snmo.of the respeSable
Girt ors, who signed the or'ginal ren.itisition for the
first meeting, that I ought not, in justice to them; to t
leave such assertions wholly unanswered.. I take
leave to assure you, that I never did call at Sir F Cur-
dett's,nor ever made any application to him vrhataver
respetaing the Westminster E.eition, an :l that Mr.
Gibbons's assertions, that "Mr. Burgers assured him
they wished le roue forth, and op rase the Bus ;' that
" Mr. Burgess seconded • .:e motion oho! Sir Fraacir
Bordat ;" and that, "it he (Cribbros) bad a mind •
r to set up as a Candidate, he should undoubtedly
have his support," are gross falsehoods. I request
to add, that, so tar from my attending the Com-
mittee, on the suggestion of Mr. ,Sheridan, or that
he corre,•ted the Resolutions of the instant, 1
attended it only in consequence of their own especial
request in witting, and understanding that an at-
tempt had been made by Mr. Gibbons to prodicte
a fruitless and vexatious opposition, which would
not be consistent with what had passed at the first
meeting, so respeEtably attended at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern.
I admit that one of the Committee (but not my-
self) sarcastically told Gibbons, that he would ad-
vise him to set up himself, and that he should have
his support—but surely this man cola I not under-
stand it other than as the Cleftors must see it was

meant.
1 weed not desire you to take this contradiflion
of Gibbons's statement, if my assertions could not
be fully confirmed by all those of the Committee
who were present, and who know that my assertions
ate correct. I remain Sir, your obedient set vent,
HEnav BURGESS.
• Curson•street, Sept. 30, 1306.
Ma. Eiorros —Certain Resolutions having ap-
peered in the Public Papers, signed, " HENRI'
MADDOCK, Chairman," and stated to have been
agreed to at a Meeting of the Electors of Westmins-
ter, most grossly and falsely reflecting, not only upon
my character, but upon the eharaillers of other per-
sons, who signed the Req liLition which called the
first Meeting, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern.
I deem it incumbent on me, in justice to myself
and them, to state what passed upon the subject
At that most numerous and tespeClable meeting,
which met on Thursday, the 18th instant, after
the business was considered as entirely veer, and
Mr. Sheridan had even left the room, an irregu-
lar motion was made, in the midst of the noise and
hurry of breaking op, which converted those who
bad signed the requisition into a Commirew for the
purpose of searching for a new Candidate. No
consent was or could have been given on our
parts ; for very few of us did or could hear what
eras going on. A few of us, however, met together
the next evening, at the Rainbow Coffee-house,
when a letter from Mr. Maddock, to Mr. Gibbon,
offering to become is Candidate, was read to us. We
eVcr not convene that the accepting this offer would
be disch aging the duty itnrce d upon us, did' we
chose to aCt uuder the appointment ; but, in conse-
quence of a nnanimous resolution of the Committee,
that Mr. Sheridan should still be requested to al.
low himself to lie proposed as a Candidate, Mr.
Kelly and myself waited upon Mr. Sheridan. Mr.
Shei Wan 'persevered is his firmer determination,
stating other circumstances, which couviuced us of
the propriety of the line of conduct he had adopted.
‘Ve endeavoured to consult Mr. Sheridan, as to ary
other respedaeile person to whom we might aptly.
Mr. Sheridan .aid, that the belie had takea with
reaped to Sail Percy, prevented him irom takieg
ens o stet ec.,..e, but to induce his friends to follow
his exerryle, ui e cordial and sincere support of his
Lordship. V.re suggested Mr. Whitbread. Mr. Sheri-
dan said, there could not be a ptoperer person, but
that he was confident he would decline, and that he
crigaged to support Earl Percy. Some other persons
were also named, when Mr. Sheridan replied, that he
must decline giving any other opinion to us as aCom-
rnittee, with regard to what was fittest for us to do ;
but that he hoped no person would encourage a
vexatious and fruitless opposition,without a prospeft
of success ,• and that it n.n t be cbvious, that no suc-
cessor to Mr. Fox could be looked for amongst
Mr. Fox's political or personl lricads, for that he
himself had found that every one of them were en-
gaged in tie cause of Earl Percy.
Mr. Whi:bread, however, was applied to ; and
on the Monday evening, his letter, stating that he had
declined, being read, it was resolved to apply to Sir
F. Burdett, which application was made by me, and
isso others qt. the Committee, and not by Mr. Bargees,
as falsely stated by Gibbons, at the Crown and An-
chor, on the 2fith inst. Hie answer was, " that Sir
Francis was out of town, and had direaed his porter
not to send any letters until be heard from him."
Upon thus failing, both in respect to Mr. Whit-
bread end. sir F. Burdett, and no other fit person
as a successor to Mr. Fox being suggested, we did
not think out selves at liberty to go shout and ran-
sack the city, in search of some person disposed
to promote tumult and vexation, without either
pretensions for standing. or hopes of succeeding ;
and accordingly, at an adjourned Meeting, held
at the Rainbow Coffee-house, on the 23d instant.
at which eight out of twelve of the Committee
were present (the others having declined to at-
tend) we unenimousl7 came to the Resolutions
which have appeared in the Public Papers, signed
by me. It is perfectly false that there was
any thing surreptitious in our proceedings, or that
the Committee were taken by surprise ; 'and the
sentiment WAS equal)), unanimous, without abating
in our attachment to Mr. Sheridan, or our convic-
tion in his preferable title, to give our cordial sup-
port to earl Percy.
I am sorry to intrude myself upon the Public, but
no person can read the libellous proceedings and
Resolutions of the Meeting held at the Crown and
Anchor. on the 26th last. who will not admit that
cosh intrusion hae been unavoidably called for.
I am, Sir. your most humble servant.

in the seleCtion meir of me as a pee son worthy to he
nit firit in nonthiation to succeed that truly greet -.
man, who has been just taken from etborgst ue, to
the deep and lasting afffi,lion of his frien-11, to the . :.
irreearahle loss of his country arid the weld.
But, Sir, duly sensible of the consequence which
the Representation of the City of Westminster must . .
give to ar.y :non who shall be so fortunate as to ob-
tain
it (mos.. especially after the manner in which it
has been filled for so many years) there are motives
of a private nature, which would inducer me to de; ' •
cline the boneur you proposed to ow; wee there not
others of a public nature also, which pi c.lede the
possibility of my appearing as A Candidate tor One
Seat unhappily vacant.
I am so firmly attached to that incl pendent and •
respettahle body of Constituents, who Lev s returned
me to Parliament, at three successive EleEtions. and,
who have four times previously distinguished my
family, by the same token of confidence and apps
bation, that the Representation of the City of West!
minim:- itself, could not tempt me from their sere
vim, so song as they shell be pleased to consider
me as worthy to repr.neot them.
Farther, baying duly weighed all the circum-
stances of the present crisis, as it relates trilto pat'
tictltlrlv to your situatioa, and my own, as one of
your Body, I had determined to give my vote to
Lord Percy $ and it is with great concern I find .
that any part of the Wesminsoer Electors have roe.
solved that he is not a fit person to represent thif, .
great city in Parliament.
I am petfeetly certain that neither I. nor any.-61,.
those persons who have sifted in unison with your -
late Illustrious Member, during the whole of our pp.,
litical lives, should support Lo:d Percy, could wet.
for a mciment, suppose, that. bj that snppoit, we
were instrumental in making either yoe or outeselve,s,
the tools of Party, or the subservient vassali of ant
Administration. f
The ECZIOI s of Westminster, in their chn:ew of
Mr. Fes.e...trinmphed over all the tools of
.party, afif
all the vassals of power ; and such is the veneradtkre
and 'mein which his memory is held. that, co
his wishes have been consulted, I am sure they we
decide your present choice.
Under the conviction then, that, if his iiialualiole-
life had been spared. in a state of health to have pre-
vented his again offering olinowif to you, he woula
have recommended Lord Percy 0 his suacwsor ; I,
and. I believe, most of Mr. loe's irn late and
personal frieods, feel bound to support his cense $' to
which, however, nothing could urge us, were we
not impressed with the belief, that in Lord Percy
will be found a young man of principles. as inde-
pendent as thenaebe he bears is noble and great;
atd one who is desirous of treading in the political
paths of Mr. -fox.
I have the honour to be. Sir,
