CITY BUSINESS.--,A Common, Hall was held
yesterday at Guildhall, for the Election of Sheriff, in
the roam of JAMES WooptininGE, Esq. who has
pail his fine to be excused serving, which was very
numerously attended, and on putting up the names
of the different' Candidates,
.a very great majority
in the spew of hands appeared in favour of JONA-
THAN MILES, Esq. who was thereupon declared
duly eleeted to serve the •Office, together with'l':
BISH, Esq. The price of Bread was ordered, to be
continued at ls. id. the Quartern Loaf.'
The DUKE of SUSSEX, according to report, is to be
appointed Governor of; Jamaica, and Sir /EYRE
CootE is to remain in the Island as Commander of
the Forces: His itoyal Highness's state of health,
it seems, absolutely requires the advantage of resi-
dence in a warm climate. ,

•
Count ZElcoato, it i said, is now to be permit-
fed to reside in this Country. It is to be hoped,
therefore, that his political principles an+ not what
they were at the beginning of the French Revolution.

Mrs. C. KEBIBLE is engaged to perform a' few
nights at Cheltenham. BANNISTER is, to play there
at the same period. They are to follow Mr. and
Mrs. H. sipDoNs.

Boxitro.flighgate Common, on Thursday, was
much
.resorted to for the ostensible purpose of
,a
bull-bait, but the real obje& of the meeting was to
decide an adjourned contest between two animals of
the same blood, but without the same quantity either
of legs or horns. The combatants were Iky Pig,
a Jew, and Wood, ,a waterman. The Israelite had
the advantage of strength; but the waterman so
neatly plied his skulls, that in the end the Jew was
Completely done over !—To the credit of the pot
circles, there were no• men of fashioo present to
countenance this deviation from (lair and decorum.

I have the honour to infolm you, that having

,take one of the Droggers, and to capture LaCubana

SIR, End► of Jamaica, 15th May, 80:

I beg leave to acquaint you, that this morning as
I was standing towards Jamaica, with a Convoy un-
der my charge bound to that Island, I discovered, at
dawn of day, a Vessel, of a suspicious appearance ho-
vering about the Fleet; I stood towards her, when
she immediately hauled her wind, under a press of
sail ; upon which I gave chace, and in two hours
had the good fortune to come up with and capture
her. She proves to-be La Amable Theresa, belong-
ing to St. Jago de Cuba, armed' with two brass
howitzers, and eighteen men, and containing a
cargo of wine and merchandize, out three days from
St. Jago de Cuba.
I feel much. satisfaction in'having it in my power
to , communicate to you the capture
,of the above
Vessel, as in the event of her escape she must have
proved a great annoyance to the Trade of this Island,
and particularly so to , the. large Convoy under. my
command.

• I have the honour to be, &9.
(Signed) W. SELBY.
