THE CITY.

A Court of Common Council was Thursday held it Guildhall,
when, after some other business had been disposed of, Mr. Deputy
Box aildressed the Court 'on the propriety of voting an Address to the
Piince Regent, congratulating his RoyaL Highness upon the occasion
of th,.l Victory of Salamanca. He spoke of the great advantages deny-
able from the victorious exertions of the Marquis of Wellington;
made a few observa:ions upon the courage and enagy displayed by all
the troops employe.: upon this glorious and de..islve occasion, unequa4
as they were in number to the enlny, and opposed to the vcteraft
troops of France; and coded with a due acknowledgment of the tran-
scentlant military skill and valour of the. Marquis of Wellington.—Mt.
Quin seconded the motion in a speech, in which he re-echoed the
s- ntiments of the proposer of the Address.—Mr. Blundell observed,
that a:ter the battles tit Barr° a, A lbitera, Badajoz, arc. the Cit) had
voted their thanks directly to successful Commanders. He thought
that this would be a barter course to pursue at present, than that
which was proposed of an Adtress to the Prince Reg..nt, which ap-
peared like comp) ii.enting the M inistcrs.—M r. Deputy Box inbrined
the worthy Mcm:,er, that his ruction would be followed up by alto.
ther :or mat purpose.—Mr. Watchman stipportecl the Address, and
:leclarco that he himself should have brought forwittd the pret-c-nt
motion, but for his Apprelielision to at his conduct would be 10;:k,.3
uptin da id.l attempt to gain popularity. He trusted that now the

country stood upon high ground, an honourable peace would be a pro-
minentrobject of its consideration, and that this victory, in conjunc-
tion with the occurrences in the North of Europe, would lead to a
general pacification.—A Committee was then appointed to prepare an
Address, and they having prepared the same, n was read, agreed to,
and ordered to be presented by the whole Court. The Sheritn, at-
tendel by the Remembrancer, were directed to wait upon his Royal
Highness to know when he would receive the same.—The Vote of
Thanks to Marquis Wellington, his Officers, &re. will be moved at
the next Court.

HoAx.—Tradespeople to the amount of several hundreds,
assembled at the Pavilion, Hans-place, Chelsea, on Monday
last, with various articles of furniture, in consequence of
hoaxing two-penny post letters, which directed the hour of
attendance to be twelve o'clock. A Concert, under the
patronage of Lady CHARLOTTE DENTS, for the benefit of
the Chelsea Charity Schools, had been announced to take
place at one o'clock, and the neighbourhood exhibited a
scene of the greatest confusion, betwixt the chariot and the
coal-cart, and other medleys which completely choaked the
place : and, it is feared, proved detrimental to the chari-
table purpose.

UNION- H ALT..—A man of decent appearance applied to the Sitting
Magistrate, under sysmptoms of great distress of mind, for redress of
various injuries inflicted upon him, by a person who, he said, had long
held him in subjection by the power of witchcraft. The person
complained of had, for some time, been his opposite neighbour ; arid
although it had been his (the complainant's) constant study not to
offend him, being well aware of the influence he possessed with the
powers of darkness, vet he had, in some way or other, been so unfor-
tunate as to incur his displeasure, and severely he hadsutfered for it
both in person and property, as the wizard had, at diffetent times,
destroyed his clothes, tainted his provisions, prevented the smoke
ascending the chimnies, soured the liquor in his cellar, and on various
occasions, when the complainant has been under the necessity of going
out on business, had so fascinated his powers of vision, that on his
return home, all his efforts to discover his own door had proved inef-
fectual. These circumstances had obliged him to remove from the
Kent Road to Westminster ; but even by that, he had not escaped
the power of his enemy, who still retained his influence, and exerted
it in a manner yet more painful to him, by inflicting upon him gouty
and rheumatic pains, and torturing him in various ways. Under all
these circumstances, he entreated the Magistrates to cite the magician
before his tribunal, and to inflict such pains and penalties upon him
a sshould prevent his disturbing society for the future. The
.Magis-
trate promised to comply with his request, and advised him is the
mean time to go home, and rest satisfied that no effort in his power
should be wantirg to prevent the evil spirit troubling him in future.
With this assurance, the complainant declared himself perfectly saris-
erl, and said, he telt, that in consequence of his having thrown him-
self on the protection of the Bench, the pains, with which be had for
so long a time been afflicted, were very much abated !
SHADWlLL.—Wednesday, B. Clifford was brought up, charged
with the murder of P. Doyle. It appeared by the evidence of. Wood,
a constable at Poplar, that in going his rounds on Wednesday, the
46th ult. at a Quarter past it) at night, he fell in with the Prisoner and
the deceased, who were fighting. He separated them, and they went
away. He afterwards, the same night, met them again, and found
that they had renewed the contest. He separated them a second time,
and Clifford ran away. On approaching the spot %%here they had
been engaged, he discovered Doyle leaning against a ()ailing, and al-
most exhausted from the loss of blood, soon after which he expired.
—Mr. Bell, a surgeon, depose :. that the deceased had one wound in
his face near the eye, and another in his side, between two of his ribs,
and a little below the vertebra: of the left breast.—The latter having
penetrated the recesses of the heart, he kid no doubt was the occasion
of his death.—The Prisoner was fully committed.
A female child enclosed in a basket, was on Saturday se'nnight laid
at the door of a tradesman in Bedford-street, Covent-garden. The
basket being opened, a letter was discovered addressed to one of the
family, whom it accused of bring the father of the babe, and of ne-
glecting to furnish the mother with the means of supporting it ;
which circumstance was attributed that mode of disposing of ft. The
letter was written in a neat female hand, and was signed " Harriet
Newton." The child was decently clad ; and in the basket with it
was found a change of linen, and some food. On the arrival of the
Overseer, it was sent to the workhouse, where it CA be properly
taken care cf, until some means are found to di,cover the real parent.
ATTEMPT TO TAKE FRINCH LEAVZ.-.--11,1011day se'nnight, a corporal
who is stationed on a recruiting party at the Hundred House, observed
two persons in a chaise, on the road to Worcester, whom he suspected
to be Frenchmen ; be stopped the chaise and told them his suspicions;

port, but he expressed himself not satisfied with this, and they then

BANDANA SOAP.
WHITE HANDS have ever been esteein.'d a personal beauty in troth Sexev,
and in some parts of Europe are essential to Persons of ll:wk.—The Bandana Soap,
or Indian Washing Cakes, possess the peculiar property of giving the most exqui-
site delicacy of texture and inconceivable fairness to the hands which are constantly
washed with this soap. Even in cases where the skin has been injured by labour
or other violeuce,the hardness and coarseness are effectually, tafallibly, and per.oa-
neatly removed, and succeeded by a smoothness, fairness, and dedcac:, of appear-
ance, shish cannot be acquired by any other means whatever. It is by exile t.nlve
only that ally one can form an adequate idea of the superior exctilence of this
