CRIPPLEGATE WITHIN.

On Friday last a Wardmote was held for Cripplegate
Within, in the Church of St. Alphage, to elect a Com-
mon Councilman for the remainder of the year, in the
room of Edward Heath, deceased.
The Deputy of the Ward (Mr. Valiance) presided,
instead of Mr. Alderman Wood, wino was absent in con-
sequence of being from London.
The Requisition, and the Lord Mayor's Precept ap-
pointing the meeting, having been read,
Mr. CHILD proposed Mr. Hugh Heron as a fit and
proper person to supply the vacancy that had occurred
by Mr. Heath's death.
Mr. HERON said, he was not ambitious of honours—
but he presented himself because he had been solicited by
his neighbours and friends to step forward on the present
occasion. He had a, cptiesced, seeing that not one was
likely to appear whose name would not detract from the
honour and respectability of the Ward. Under these
circumstances they would do with him as they pleased;
his name was before them, and with their deceision he
should rest satisfied. ( Applause.)
Mr. HANKS proposed Mr. Aleock as a cad:date.
Roar. 'ITS proposed Mr. Child—hut Mr. Child
begging that his name might be withdrawn, the propo-
sition .vas not pressed.
Mr. 13amo proposed Mr, Palmer.
The names were then put to the vote. There were 37
for Mr. Heron—none for Mr. Aleock—and three for
Mr. Palmer. The Deputy of course declared that the
choice had fallen on Mr. Heron, which annunciation
was received with ()burins.
Mr. HERON rose ana returned thanks for the honour
that had just been conferred on him. It was graiflying to
him, and the result redeemed the pledge of those who
hail solicited him to come forward. He thought the
local duties were of more consequence than political
opinions, but it was known that he had particular poli-
tical sentiments. lie was for the constitution as it is,
and for the laws as they are; but he must own lie was
not very friendly to the present ministers. (Those who
had been so good as to repose confidence in him might
rest assured that he would endeavour to discharge his
duty faithfully.
Mr. ALcocx then declared his intention of again
presenting himself to the notice of the Ward on St.
Thomas's day.
The oaths having been administered to Mr. Heron,
Mr. ROBERTS gave notice, that at the next Wardmote
he should move that the Ward Beadles's salary be
increased, .

Thanks having been voted to the Deputy.
Mr. VALLANCII returned his acknowledgments, and
aftewards declared the Wardneme to be dissolved.

IMPORTANT Law ARRANOEIIENT.—It has been
determined by the Court of King's Bench, that one
of the Judges shall in future sit at the Chambers
during Term, from two o'clock till four in the after-
noon, instead of attending from six to eight in the
evenings which has been usual heretofore.
Fracas on the North Road —The inhabitants of
Ferrybridge have been much amused by a scene
which took place lately between a noble lard, of the
corps diplomatique, (Lord Stewart), and a respect-
able innkeeper of that town. His lorlship, it seems,
was not attended with prompt obedience which he
had been accustomed to receive from the Bonifaces
of Austria; his well-known impetuosity burst forth,
an altercation of rather a violent nature ensued.
which terminated in the noble ambassador turning
his host out of the room. The cause of contention,
we understand, was the non-appearance of a jelly !
When the Elisabeth packet was lately almost
wrecked in Dover harbour, two ladies were so com-
pletely drenched, that their clothing affiirded scarcely
any concealment to the various paddings of lace,
shawls, and other things with which they had pro-
vided themselves in France. They were of course,
insited to the custom-house, and there dismantled
of the incumbrances that spoiled the contour uf their
figures.
There has lately been an extensive issue of bad
sovereigns from Birmingham, which have been in
circulation in London for ten days, and are badly
executed, the milling being clumsy, and the letters
indistinct. The titterers pay 5s lid. for three coun-
terfeits.

Mu.'ical Kaleidoscope.—A very curious invention
has been made in the art of musical composition.—
Cards are prepared. on each of which a bar of an
air is arranged according to a certain rythym and
kcy. Four packs of those cards, marked A B C
and I), are mingled together and as the cards are
drawn and arranged before a performer in the order
of that series, it will be found tut original air is ob-
tained ; the cards hitherto Made are us waltzes, and
succeed perfectly ; the invention may be called Mu-
sical Permutation. It has received, however, im-
properly, that of the Musical Kaleidoscope.
The pedestal intended to support the equestrian
statue of the late King, about to be erected near the
London-road, Liverpool, has been shipped in the
canal basin, at Kendal, tar the place of its destina-
tion. It is about timrteen feet high, and termed of
Westmoreland granite, part of which was brought
from Slay Fcll, but some of the largest blocks were
procured in the neighbourhood of Kendal; one in
particular, containing ($OO cubic feet, was taken front
a wood belonging to Mrs. Sowden, at Meal Bank.
For the convenience of removal, it was broken into
pieces, one of which weighed about flrar tJus.

Lifif REPORT.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 2.
Mr. Heald moved to commit a person of the name of
M'bougal to the Fleet, for reftistng to pay the rent of his
house and premises, situate lo the parish of ,St. Ogles, to•
James Tood, Esq. the receiver appointed by the Court.—
There were, he said, a number of Ironies in It. Gilts's,
which were the property of an infant. His father had
left him the principal parts of his estates by will ; but
will. respect to these houses be bad omitted to do so, and
he took them by descent u his heir. The tenants ima-
gined that this infant was not legitimate, and that, as the
natural consequences of their landlord's illegitimacy, they
themselves acquired the character of owners.
The Lord Chancellor observed, that the tenants were
extremely mistaken in the notion they had formed of their
own rights. It was from the wish of the Court by com-
mitment to compel them to pay their rent, bet it would
be necessary to enforce the payment if they persevered
in their resistance. His Lordship said, he bad felt some
difficulty with regard to the language of the former order.
He thought it had gone rather further than it should have
done : if the order was handed to him he would set the
matter right.
Mr. Heald—These tenants all think they are now quite
sate.

COURT OF KINGS BENCH, Nev. $.
DOS ON THE DEMISE OF THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY,

V. PATTEE AND Co.
This was an act' of ejectment to recover possession
of crrtain premises demised by the Earl of Shrewsbury
in the County of Stafford.
In the course of the argument it appeared that the eas•
was deficient with respect to information which might
have been obtaiued from old Ileasesotud the Coors directed
the cause to stand over uutil it cosh' be argued MS per-
fect state.

ATROCIOUS Arristaer TO Al ORDlR.—Wednestlay
morning, between one and two,a most inhuman attempt
was made by a man named Patrick Fitzgerald, to nun.
der his wife, who was in the last stage of pregnancy.
'the unfortunate victim is an interesting girl about 17
years of age. At the age of 14 she was married to her
inhuman husband, who is about 40. A few days after
the marriage was solemnized, the monster deserted her,
and the unhappy girl was sheltered at the habitation of
her aged parents. The s Wain, after six months absence,
returned, plundered her of every thing she posaessed,aild
again absconded. He came home at intervals and served
her in like mariner. On Tuesday night he went to the
muse of the pour girl's father, in Angel and Puller-
. court, Golder-lane, St. Luke's, where she resided, alter
' being away front her (or eight nomths. The mother
having gone up stairs, heard the cry of murder arid the
shrieks of her daughter. She ran down into the moor,
when she observed the unhappy girl lying on the door
weltering in her blood. The inhuman monster was
kneeling on her breast with a knife in his band. The
old woman attempted to release her daughter limn his
vetiaeatice, on which the villain stabbed her in the arm,
and attempted to cut her throat. By this the neigh-
bourhood was in an uproar, aird the watchmen broke
into the house, but the murderous villain had made his
escape backwards. The unhappy girl was put to bed.
and a surgeon was sent for, when an excessive wound at
the back part of her head, and also a deep wound in the
forehead. The poor creature, as well as she was able,
stated, that as soon as her mother got up stairs, the
monster began to break open her trunk, in which was
all her baby linen. She endeavoured to prevent him,
when lie knocked her down with the instrument wilt'
which he broke open the trutik,and then placed both his
knees on her stomach, arid stabbed her in the forehead
with a knife which he took from his pocket. Infiarsta.
tion of the horrid affitir was given at Worship strert
police.office, arid G4llOll and Hanley, two active officers,
are in pursuit of the minister. The poor girl is mot tx-
pecte,l to live.
