SWEARING-IN OF THE NEW SHERIFFS:

Friday being the day appointed for this ceremony, a
large crowd collected in the Hall for the purpose of wit-
nessing it. At a little before one o'clock the Lord Mayor
arrived in state, and held a Court of Aldermen. At
half-past one the Sheriffs elect, Alderman Gamin and
Venal,les, arrived in new and splendid carriages. The
carriage of Ald. Garratt was the most elegant, without
being gaudy, of any thing of the kind we have ev►r seen.
'rite colours are green and gold, with the arms of the
Goldsmiths' Compaily, to which he belongs, and the
arms of his faintly enthlsainted on the tunnels and on
the hammer-cloth. The horses were decked out in green
and orange ribbons. The scn•ssts wore splendid liveries
of green and gold 10 correspond. The carriage of
Venables, was of a sky blue can't., with hammer-cloth,
&c. of silver, and the 1011010:11 111 Wile liveries, with
sd~er Lace.

The Sheriffs elect, aecompanie ! by the Lord Mayor,
Sheriffs Waithman and Williams, and the Court of Al-
dermen, entered the Hall and ascended the platform.—
The several Aldermen were received with various marks
of favour, or otherwise loon the populace assembled.—
rite new Sheriffs were splendidly dressed in minium
coats, surmounted in their slate robes of scarlet, and
looked extremely well. They were sworn with all ap-
propriate solemnity by 11. orpe, Esq.
The last ceremony was to invest them with the gold
insignia of office, when some surprise was occasioned at
novel vari ition from the old costume of wearing gold
chains with the plain link, instead of which, the new
Sheriffs were invested with gold °maim. WS, Clorsisting
each of three coils of rope, an whet' to a supeita
gold ornament affixed to the breast of the Winsicoat.—
The new costume was much admired, and generally
considered much more appropriate than Ow old. It ss as
stated to its as a singularity, that the Sheriff's officer who
invested the new Shertffs was one of those whose only
it is on ceremonies of a more serious nature 10 invest
persons with similar ornaments, but of very intenor 111.1.
serials. The story, however, excited en humour.—
A fter the usual salutations had been made, the Lord
Mayor and the Court of Alderinett retired.
1 he new Sheriff's proceeded to the Court of Common
Pleas, in receive the custody of the prisoners in N N sate
and \Vhitecross street.

Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgate, in giving in the
list of the prisoners in his c iiiii kly, observed that he had
examined the prison accounts, and that there never had
Men an small a her of prisoners transferred to the
Siteritls on such occasion since the nrhott had been
limit. Ile took the opitortinisty of congratulating nue
Sheriff, mu the circumstance.

Mr. Brown and Nlr. Th.tekrey then delivered op their
keys to the ex-Stienffs, who tiansferred them to the new
Sheriffs.
Mr. Sheriff Vendldes, on receiving the keys of New-
gate, addressed Mr. Brown, and s..d—•' Sir, although
you na:c an appointment as the keeper of Neu gate, yet,
as Ins Majesty s officers, the custody of that prison •s
entirely or its, and we appoint you the governor for the
time being."
Mr. Brown received the key and bowed.
SOllle other tonnal business having been disposed of,
the Sheriffs rented to thinner.

Ito* 3Esti.v.—Among the novelties of the Pari-
sian circles, rum jelly has become an universal
favourite. It is made in the following manner:—
To a quart bottle of common white wine take a
pound of sugar, which is to be reduced to a sirup,
and clarified. Then take an ounce of isinglas,,
which put on the fire till it is thoroughly incited,
pass it through a cloth, and mix it with the sirup
half warm. When this mixture is nearly cold, lour
it into the white wine, and stir it well, so as to mix
it completely. Then add a spoonful, or a spoonful
and a halt (according to the strength which you
desire to givz the jelly) of old Jamaica rum. Stir
again this mixture, and pour it into the mould that
may take the shape in cooling which you design to
give it, it intended as a Ali tin- the table ; or into
glasses, if designed to be handed round at an even-
ing party.
Letters from Havannuh of the 6th of August
state, that the Independents in Mexico had sustained
several defeats, and that the communication between
Vera Cruz anal tue capital, hail, in consequence,
been again established. O'Donoju, the new Viceroy
of Mexico, was daily expected at Vera Cruz, and
great dependence was placed on his personal energy
tot restoring confidence to the royal cause.

THE Kl S VISIT TO THE CO,VIINENr.
RASISOATII. Seer. e 6 —Yesterday the town was in a
continual bustle. The streets were decorated with arches
farmed of boughs, and ornamented with a variety of
variegated lamps, which, when lighted, presented a grand
and curious effict. His Majesty arrived at about eight
its the evening at Sir W.Curtis's mansion, from whence
he departed this morning (Tuesday) at eleven o'clock.—
The King embarked in the harbour on board his barge,
and was rowed to the royal yacht in the roads, amidst
the cheers of an immense concourse of persons, both on
sea and land.
The Velars, Margate steam yacht, preceded his Ma-
jesty with 1116 suite and luggage. The Hero end Env.
neer, steam packets, arrived here early this morning, for
the purpose of conveying passengers to the Continent.—
They had scarcely cleared Ramsgate Pier, when an offi-
cer arrived from his Majesty's yacht, on board the Hero;
they had permission to accompany the King to Calais,
for the purpose of towing the Royal Sovereign up the
harbour, if necessary.
The proprietors having made the offer of their vessel
for that purpose, smite difficulty arose as to the debark-
ation of passengers, the vessel being a considerable dis-
tance in the roads. The Engineer was then hailed, and
those flute vessels being laid alottgaide each other, the Hero
emptied its live stock into the Engineer, and i cccc netli-
ately joined company with the royal yacht; many were
the contentions oil hoard the Hero before the passengers
wool(' quit the vessel, each anxious to tread the same
plank with their Nina.
II a fine day and fair wind, with the splendid display
of innumerable vessels, both in the harbour and in the
Downs, literally covered with the flags of every nation ;
the guns saluting from every point on shore, and the
zealous cheering of the populace. could produce an effect
grateful to the human heart, we this day witnessed it.
CALAIS, SEPT. 26.—Centuries may elapse before a
spectacle of such interest recurs as that with which we
were yesterday gratified—the King of Great Britain
landed in amity on the shores of France. Although his
?Majesty derired, as much as possible, to avoid the pa-
rade of regal splendour, yet the feeling' of the French
nation were displayed in a manner honourable to our-
selmes, and gratifying to our monarch, and, of course,
to all his buy sat jet-is.
The royal yacht, accompanied by different vessels of
the squadron, and two steam-packets, arrived its the roads
of Galata about four o'clock ; but there not being suffi-
cient water in the harbour to permit the entrance of large
vessels, his (Majesty came oat shore in one of the pilot
boats, attended by different persona of his suite. On his
landing he saluted the multitude of persons, French and
English, assembled to witness his arrival, with that pe-
culiar grace and affability for which he is justly prover.
bial, and which were never displayed to greater advan-
nee titan on this interesting occasion. After walking
same distance on the pier, he ascended his carriage,
which had been some time in waiting fur him, and pro-
ceeded at a slow pace (by his own express orders) to
D..ssitt's hotel. The streets in the course of his progress
had been previously covered with fine sand, and the whole
way was lined with the military (the Oil re,iineiii), one
of the fittest in the French service, commanded by the
Doke de Ceres, who of course presented arms, and
showed his Majesty every mark of respect.) The King
appeared delighted ss ith hit reception ; and the number
of his subjects who greeted hint in a foreign laud with
the most unequivocal marks of loyalty, could not fail to
heighten the pleasure which he seemed to experience.--
In the evening at eight o'clock, his Majesty en ered the
theatre, and short as was the notice, much praise is due
to the manager for the arrangements he had made, The
Laken was really most taatetully decanted with mir-
rors, lustres, Sec, ; the exterior ornamented with elenant
drapery. Ibis Majesty sat in the centre, in front of the
box. On his left was the French General, die Marquis
de Joinillac, in full costume i and no his right, the ve-
nerable Duke de Chartre. On the King's elution:a the
whole house rose simultaneously, and the orchestra
stuck up our national anthem, s' God save the King,"
which was admirably performed, and the words sting
enthusiasiically by the whole audience, both French and
English. Shouts of applause followed, sod a universal
more rang through the house. Ibis Majesty, however,
who was evidently most sensibly affected by the feelings
evince', towards him its a foreign land, motioned that
be wished to decline its repetition, The audience un-
derstood hint, and after atiothar hearty congratulation,
they took their seats, and the performance proceeded...it
was admirable; the dresses were beautiful, and appeared
to be all new. The King was delighted and astonished
to find such excellent performance in si small town like
Calais J it is unnecessary to say the house was crowded
to excess. Oil retiring, his Majesty gracefully saluted
the audience, amid left the house universally applauded.
ANOTIM( ACCOUNT.
At 3 o'clock the royal yacht came to anchor its our
road., and in half an hour after his Majesty landed from
tLpilot boat in the harbour, and was received by the
Mayor, Prefect, Monsieur Le Marquis Juutillac, Le
Due de flranoas, and Le Due do la Chartre, who con-
ducted his Majesty to his Carriage. which was waiting
his arrival on the (Ivey twat the column. The way was
lined with troops from the quay to Dessitt's hotel. A
must numerous assemblage of people hail met to greet
his M jesty's arrival, and received him with emery de-
anoaairatiou of joy et aia• cri, d* rive ie ills
M.ajesty nt.s es appeared better, anal seemed much pleasvd
with the novelty of the svelte, bowing graciously to all
around him. Ott his agate! at Decibes lie found the
Ill,ll,lsfY and the corps de "ropier* assembled, and the
haul of the regioiesit iiis 3111.11 struck up " God save the
Krug." A snort ttttt ti loons inner was prepared at the
hotel. The Prefect, the Marquis du Juiffillae, the Duke
du Hamm, and the Duke de Chartres, had the bottom
of dining with Ills Majesty. At eight o'clock he ho.
homed the theatre with his pretence—.6l God save the
King" was sung three tinter by the audience, with great
enthusiasm. His nijesty reared to his sortinsiet so
eleveu o'clock.

11013101 T OWES, ESQ.—ThiS indefatigable philantllin-
phiSt, we hear, has returned to New Lanark, after spend-
mg a month, on his way from town, at Leeds, Man-
chester, Liverpool, Darlington, and Newcastle, fur the
purpose of furthering his benevolent views. The sob.
teription for firming one of his establishments on the
land of Mr. Ilansiltnn, at Dalyell, is'ulready upwards
of 31,0001. ; and as a great 'mother of pertont have taken
copies of the subscription paper, for the purpose of ex-
erting their influence for its emnpletion, amongst their
friends, there is no doubt that the buildings requisite for
tintlertak nig this interesting experiment, will he com-
menced next spring. A gentlentan who has just visited

thirteen hundred points, front all nariz oi Great Britain,

Travellers in France.—The numbers of English
persons who crowd to Paris are astonishing. At the
present time that gay city is thronged with them.
Whether the public buildings and palaces, the walk.,
the theatres, or the galleries, are visited, there
are to be met numerous parties of English. The
Parisians say—since the Chambers are closed—but
for "Milord Anglais" Paris would be empty. Some
may censure our countrymen for visiting this capital,
as being an unpatriotic act; and others may con-
demn it as injustice, in spending English money in
foreign countries:—we are not disposed to ap-
plaud the feelings of those who can take up their
residence there, expending capital acquired through
the means of England :—but the fascinations of
that city certainly affosl strong temptation. In
their public displays—and let it be remembered that
all are under the management of Government—they
study public effect: hence their fine palaces, gardens,
public buildings, asa but in England this can
never be the case, because such strength awl
encouragement are given to individual exertion.
—Many public works, as they might well be
called, are carried on by private individuals, or
by companies in England; but in France it is the
Government that accomplishes most of what is
realised. And all their public works are kept up
with so much particularity and care, that they are
always pleasing to the eye; while the amplest faci..
lities are afforded to those who wish to visit then..
—To such an extent is this attention carried, that
foreigners, on presenting their passports, frequently
obtain advantages that are denied to the natives,
except they possess and present special orient.—
And are not the French Government right in all
this? Let it be recollected, the thousands and tens
of thousands that are thereby brought to Paris, that
would otherwise stay at home, by making it worth
seeing; and let it be remembered how much might
be done in the way of improvement, in increasing
the facilities for foreigners to see the curiosities, ex-
celleucies, and peculiarities of England, especially of
London. In France they have some things to correct.
before the comforts of the foreigner visiting Paris
will be quite so easy as it is represented that they
are. The system of passports is troublesome to
strangers, by the various forms that are rquired to
be gone through; and vexatious, inasmuch as it is
represented that they are granted is, whereas
at Calais there is an espence of 2 francs, and at
the Rue de Bac, Paris, tea francs. ' his is an enor-
mous tax, and it is the more unpleasant as it is not
an avowed one. But if they please, they are at
liberty to treble the amount ; we shall not complain
of it, only let the prices be known—it is the more
fair way of dealing.
Military Flogging.--A Stamford Paper says—
" The second division of the 66th regiment of foot
marched out of this place last Saturday morning, on
their route for Hull. Between .the villages of Rs--
hall and Essendine, about an hour's march hence,
they were drawn up in a field by the road-side, and
one of the soldiers, for what offence we know note
was tied to the halberts, and received 230 lashes,
According to the testimony of an eye-witness, the
poor fellow groaned much, and appeared to swoon
when cut down. He was afterwards put into one
of the baggage waggons on the line of march. We
did hope that the system of flogging soldiers was
abolished, and that no corps under his Britannic
Majesty now tolerated a cruel mode of punishment,
%Ouch, according to almost every writer on the sub.
jeet—men of experience as well as theorists—defeats
its own object."
Slag:der en (sourer/a —A female, aged upwards of
seventy years, had resided fur a considetable time in a
small house, at Cambridge-heath, Mockery-road. She
kept me servant, .socrat,d with none of her neighbours,
and the only mutate W.ls a favourite cat. Her doors and
windows were constantly kept secured ; and the signal
of the titilk-man, or any one applying fur admission,
was, throwing a smite agahnt the door or window. A
neighbour's daughter was in the habit of going every
muriiing to procure her water; but out Mueilay. after
repeated she could set no entrance. The girl
went tar her mother, am! with a diamond ring they cut
