ELECTION OF A SHERIFF FOR LONDON
AND JOINT SHERIFF OF MIDDLESEX.
Yesterday a Common•hall was held "for the election
of a fit and able person to be one of the sheriffs of this
City, and together with John Carter, Esq., and alder-
man, sheriff of the county of Middlesex for the year
ensuing, in the room of Benjamin Chandler, jun., Esq.,
who has paid his fine to be excused serving the said
office."

Mr. POTTER, the Secondary, in the absence of the
Common Sergeant, stated to the livery the occasion
upon which they had been called together, and read the
list of names of several gentlemen who had been nomi-
nated for the office. He stated that in addition to the
list had been brought forward the name of Mr. A. A.
Croll.
Mr. Croll was then proposed by Mr. JOSEPH TAYLOR,
the Master of the Plumbers' Company, seconded by Mr.
RICHARD THOMAS, and unanimously elected sheriff.
Mr. TAYLOR stated, after the usual formalities had
been performed, the intention of Mr. Croll to serve the
office.
Mr. WARREN STORMER HALE, the deputy of Cole-
man-street ward, who had at the former meeting of the
livery proposed Mr. Chandler, jun., for the office of
sheriff, produced a letter from that gentleman, in which
the honour of serving for the ensuing year was declined
in consequence of domestic circumstances, and expres-
sive of the grateful feelings of the writer for the recom-
mendation.
Mr. POTTER announced that Mr. Croll was elected
sheriff, and the announcement was received with cheers.
The Common-hall was then dissolved.

other kind for the waistcoat pocket, and are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and Race-

The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces
during the past week describe no change of any importance.
The Manchester market was quieter, but business had a very
steady appearance, and large orders could not be placed ex-
cept at an advance. The Birmingham report shows a pros-
perous state of affairs in almost all branches of manufacture,
although the absence of any reaction in the price of copper
still interferes with the demand for articles of that material.
Agricultural implements have been in increased request, and
the opening up of a new and extensive branch of business
next quarterly
seems to be contemplated in the manufacture of metallic
casks, which has been undertaken on a large scale by Fox,

be subjects of complaint.

LYNCH LAW AT ASHIIIMITON.-011 Thursday two
lads having been detected pilfering tradesmen, the complain-
ing parties, instead of ushering them into the presence of a
magistrate, tied them hand to hand, and publicly whipped
them out of town—a rather summary mode of proceeding in
these times.

ANALYSIS OF THE LEAMINGTON STAKES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The Leamington Stakes—now in its twenty-
ninth year, having been established in 1824, when it
was won by General Mina, then four years old, carry-
ing Bst 61b—for eixteen years. never fell to the lot of any
thing handicapped under 7st 71b. Since then (1839) it
has never been won by any weight exceeding 7st; a cu-
rious fact for the dealers in coincidences, attributable,
however, I think, to the very different way they have of
manufacturing handicaps at the present time; in
for
days of yore we sported nothing in the feathery depart-
ment of 4st. The records of the last seven years show
that the three, four, and five years old have pretty
equally divided the stakes amongst them. In 1845 Wee
Pet, then five yrs old, carrying Est 131 b, was the victrix.
The following year Gwalior, a four yrs old, with 6st 91b
up, was tho lucky animal. In 1847 Giantess, 5 yrs,
6st 81b, was the winner. In 1848 Doctrine, 4 yrs, 6st
llb; in 1849 Miss Ann, 3 yrs, sst 21b; in 1850
Doubt, 4 yrs, Est (carried Est 41b); and last year
Goldfinder, 3 yrs, 6st 31b, respectively, were the first
past the post. Thus it will be seen, that during the last
seven years, with one exception, the winning weight has
been upwards of 6st; though in no instance exceeding
6st 131 b; therefore the light-weighted animals of any
account whatever have had the pull entirely in their
favour.
The Leamington Stakes of 25 sm. each, 15 ft, &a.,
over the two-mile course, out of a rather strong entry,
has obtained eighty-and-twenty acceptances. Dilly's
stable has two—the top weight, Cariboo, 5 yrs, Bst 71b,
and Hirsute, 3 yrs, sst 51b. The former, I believe, is a
non-starter—the latter the contrary; but whether Hir-
sute is capable of a feat equalling Adine's is somewhat
believe she is supported by the confederates. Russbo-
rough, 5 yrs, Bst 51b, is not badly in, but I am afraid
his day has not arrived. Marlborough Buck, 4 yrs,
Bst 31b, has no chance whatever; ditto Montague, 6 yrs,
Bst. Lady Evelyn, 6 yrs, Tat 131 b, makes Goldfinder,
Ephesus, Trickstress
hei, BdushrangerE, and Paquette per-
dubious. That she will run well may be expected, as I
that implicit confidence in her which her immediate
I cannot altogether place
fierieetnlydssafaned; bnaoctkweirtsdtoa;nbiuntg as she will be ridden by
Nat it will not do to hold her too cheaply. It would be
curious, although scarcely probable, as she is decidedly
stale, should Doubt repeat her victories over this course.
Grief, 6 yrs, 7st 31b, beyond being a certain starter I
can say nothing of, pro or con. Ringleader, 4 yrs, 7st,
at the weight ought to be about the best of Saunder's
lot, but I doubt it much. Old Administrator, with the
comfortable weight of 6st 61b, if ha can
manage to get
ar, Galvanism, and
the speed up, the length of the course may serve him,
but I have no particular penchant for these antiquated
animals. Storyteller, 4 yrs, Est 61b, will satisfactorily

diate consideration. Tom Dawson's hope is centered in
Cleveland, of whom they think a great deal, and not
enough dispose

without reason, for if he does not run home in the front
I shall be very much astonished. Rugs is the only
rival of any note that Cleveland will have among the
light weights, Madeline being of no acccount.
In conclusion, it is my present opinion that the
struggle for superiority within the distance will be be-
tween Lady Evelyn, Storyteller, Cleveland, Hirsute, and
Hugo, and to the first or last named I must look for the
winning animal.—l am, Sir, &c.,
