and the retiring Sheriffs went in state, as usual on such
occasions, from the Mansion-house to Guildhall to attend
the ceremony. The Sheriffs Elect had previously enter-
tained the Aldermen, the Masters, and Wardens of the
companies to which they respectively belong, and other of
the civic dignitaries at breakfast at the Albion, in Alders-
gate-street. Thence they were escorted to Guildhall,
shortly before 2 o'clock. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen,
the Sheriffs Elect, the retiring Sheriffs, with tho Under'
Sheriffs, and all the principal officers of the corporation,
assembled first in the Aldermen's Chamber, and then went
in procession to the great hall, preceded by the corporation
Sword and Mace Bearers. There a small body of liverymen
had assembled to witness the ceremony. The civic autho-
rities, all of whom wore their official robes, having taken the
places assigned them on the hustings, the Town-clerk, Dir
Woodthorpe, proceeded to administer the customary oath
appertaining to the office to the new Sheriffs, This dons,

Under Sheriff, With that the ceremony of swearing-in
terminated, er d the new Sheriffs, with their Under Sheriff',

men present, and the officers of the Corporation. From the
great hall they went to an adjoining apartment, where the
past Sheriffs, according to custom, handed to their success
sore in office the keys of the various city prisons, which they
in turn presented to the respective governors, and with that
the proceeding was complete. Formerly, on the evening on
the day on which the Sheriffs were publicly inducted into
office, the keepers of I‘L•wgate and the two Compters used
to invite the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, the Recorder and
Sheriffs, and the principal officers of the Corporation, to the
London Coffeehouse to partake of sack and walnuts ; but
the custom has fallen into disuse, and is now only remem'
bered as a thing of the past.
BURGLARY AT DONCASTER.—On Monday lost,
at the Doncaster Borough police-court, before gr.
Moore, the mayor, and Dr Seholfield, two men were brought
up in custody from Huddersfield, named Geo. Harris and
Geo. Perry, charged with committing a burglary at the
house of Miss Drabwell, Christchurch-terrace, Doncaster,
about Monday morning, the 12th inst. Miss Drabwell closed
her house at the end of August, and went from home, in'
tending to stay a month. Her niece visited the house once,
and saw that all was right, but on the 20th the police r°'
ceived information which led them to suspect that a burglar,'
had been committed. and Miss Drabwell was telegraphed for.
She returned home on the following day, and a search mad°
disclosed the fact that a great number of articles had been
carried off. The thieves appear to have deliberately broken
into the house from the back,and then searched it, ransack'
lag every drawer, cupboard, and bed in the house. Having
secured their booty they went into the wine cellar, procured
several bottles, regaled themselves with it, smoked cigargo
and left with their booty and a bottle of brandy each. Their
ill-gotten gain included silver spoons of various sizes and
several silver articles, silver-plated tea and coffee pot, toast
rack, spoons, cruet-stand, and candlesticks ; silk mantles
cashmere shawls, about 30 yards of satin, &c. ; handker"
chiefs, table-cloth, silk jackets, and a great number of other
articles, as also several valuable seals, bracelets, &c. The
men took their booty to a lodging-house, and persuaded fl
man to go to Sheffield with them, and making a tool of hiol
in the sale they escaped apprehension at the time, but were
afterwards apprehended. The prisoners, assisted by this
man, whose name is Chas. Walker, carried their plunder
to a lodging-house in the heart of Sheffield, and the three
then sallied forth to ascertain the most likely place to die'
pose of their goods. Mr Cash's shop in Angel-street 109
selected, and Perry and Walker wont in, leaving Heals t°
watch outside. Perry handed to Mr Cash two seals of
valuable kind, upon each of which was a meet. Mr Cos:
suspected from th:s that all was not right, and when Pori."
inquired whether ho purchased silver his suspicions well;
still further aroused. He told Perry to call with the 511'
in the afternoon, and he would then purchase the sill
and seals also. He communicated with the police, a%
Detective officer Winn watched the prisoners. At 3 (fel°
the prisoner and Walker made their appearance, but befer°
they entered the shop Winn seized Walker, who had a VI,
under his jacket, and the tuber two men escaped. Wan'
explained to them the position in which he had been Piaccdo
took Winn to the lodging-house, and the remainder of ti
is
property, made up in four large bundles, wss secured. 131 I
were circulated detailing the property, and Miss Drabwec
was thus enabled to identify it. Tho prisoners made tlicly
escape to Huddersfield, where they perpetrated a bur„a_r
and tell into the hands of the police. The Mayor cowst
witted both the prisoners to take their trial at the ne,
Leeds assizes, and also thanked Mr Cash for the infortna
lion he so promptly gave to the police, and which lied ic
to the detection of the prisoners. Walker was admitted
evidence, and subsequently bound over to appear at e),
as a witness, and at the close of the inquiry was disollar
from gust ody.

AN D

commmitoiAL INT2ILIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The bellioo, operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of £62,000 in gold, and the
withdrawal of 30,000 sovereigns for Portugal.
The failure of Mr Clough, East India merchant,
of Gresham House, has been announced, and the
following circular has been addressed to the
Creditors :

152, Gresham-house, Old Broad.street,
Sept. 28, 1861.
Ire to have to inform you that the heavy fall in cot-
tea has placed me M such a position that I have been com-
pelled to suspend payment. I have therefore placed my
books in the hands of Messrs Edwards and
ames, who will
..e v0;?' shortly place before you a statement of my affairs.—
obe teiting your forbearance meanwhile, I am, your most
dient servant, FRANCIS CLOUGII.
The suspension has originated through very large
speculations in cotton, the recent fall in the price
of the staple having involved Mr Clough in serious
losses, The liabilities are stated to represent as
finch as £500,000.
