whatnot understanding thorn; that it was proper that
retrenchment should begin at house, and that the Livery
should appoint men who would examine into every stein

contracts, &c.
A show of hands was then taken, and Mr. Richardson
and Mr. Wetherstone, a etc declared duly elected by a
considerable majorhy, to some as Auditors with the two

IVhilst the Sheriffs were gone to make a report of the
proceedings to the Court of Aldermen, Mr. Galloway
addressed the Hall, and cautioned them that the business
01 the election was about to commence. The circum-
stance of Alderman Garrat it.lll.lnding a poll, compelled
him to state who he was. Ile WAY not a one guinea, or
a two guinea, but a fine guinea' wetniler of the Bridge-
street association. (Hew ap. Isms on the hustings said
the A Iderniao was 110 M r. Galloway continued, that
he would undertake to prove he wan, and 1;4! would do
su on the authority of the return made in the Coon of
King's Bench, in which he was S t down as one of those
not elip,ible to sent e the office of Jnror in a case where

Such being the case, he could not be a fit person to elect
as an Aker to mom, such Jury.

The RECORDER, on deelatiog the several candidates
returned to the different offices to he duly elected, excited
mulch mirth, by commencing his address to the flail
with " Gentlemen of the Jury," instcao in" Gentlemen
or the Livery."

Alderman GARKAT said, it was natural to expect that
those in the Hall would make a point of setting up their
layout itc as i.cnsiitle. He hoped that the livery
at large would have an opportunity of knowing I
beget than Ilh, y • did. He declared that lie neither
bought iiin Court nor the common favour, and that it
was his ileterminatims to keep the ;Poll oven to the karst
hour, as he WS determined to see of what materials the

to be their sense that he was unfit to serve them, he
would retire into that pr;vate file front whence lie had

We understand that no less than four regiments
of cavalry, in 1:(1,1iiion to the three regiments of
Foot G;i..rds, with the regiments of Horse Guards,
awl the Oxtord Blues, are to attend the approach-
ing coronation ; so that this solemn religious ecre-
loony will also be a grand military spectacle. The
procession of his Majesty, however, from West-
minster Abbey to Westminster-hall, will not be a
spectacle for pedestrians, as the whole of the pha-
llism upon uhich time procession moves is to be lined
by u double file of Foot Guards, who are to stand
upon a small platthrin, which is raised about three
feet on each side. Behind those soldiers there is
also to he u double file of cavalry.
Lodgings in Dublin have risen full 50 per cent.
since it was known that his Majesty would visit
the capital of Ireland, and a royal box is preparing
in the theatre, under the impression that his Ma-
jesty will honour it with his presence during his
stay there!
