Oa Saturday the f,oilD MAYoR Elect, the Alder-
men, and City Corporation, mgt, according to cus-
___

tom, to attend tht: new Siterffs to Westminster.—

Having pioceeded in their s:ate carriages to Black-

friars-bridge, they embarked on board the barges
belonging to the .different Companies, winch were
decorated, as usual, with flags, and other appen-
dages of civic splendour, he weather was ulna-
Vourable to this diSpley, whit h generally attracts a,
great number of boats with elegant company. On
the arrival of the grand galleys, barges, and gondolas,

at the new landing place made at P:dace-yard, West-
minster, the City party landed, and walked in pro-
. . . .

,
'cession, with flags: flying, to the Court of Exche-
quer, where they were received by the Cursitur
Baron. The RECORDER then: presented the new
Sheritfi, Messrs. WOOD and ATKINS, with the usual

form and after the Baron bad .lead the duties of
their office, they severally took the oaths, and per-
formed the ancient Leremony of cleaving t he

and of counting the number of nails in four horse•
shoes ; a practice which has descended to us from

times when it e.•as thought•necessary that every new
Sheriff should prove himself rascholar by pertorm-
ing' the important task of enumerating certain hob-
nails. But this was not the 'only qualification re-
quired ; he was expected to strew strength of body,
as well as min +, which he did, by cleaving a large ,
billet of wood. At the present day this ordeal is rt-
duced to mere form. A• few sticks are. held, while
the Sheriffcuts a notch with a bill. The calculation
of the nails is made, and thus the antient custom is
maintained. Havini fulfilled this important dory,
•• the Corporation returned to their barges, attendki
by music and flags, and rowed off amidst a salute of
cannon fired from the opposite banks of the Ricer.
After re landing at Biackfriars, they formed a caval-
cade in carriages, and the ceremony ended, as City
business generally does, with a good dinner.'
WINDSOR JUBILEE.—At a.Meeting held on Fri-
day at the Town Hall of Windsor, the Committee
• appointed to conduct the celebration-bt his Majesty's
entering his fiftieth year of 'his reign Came to the
.following resolutions. unanimously—JamEs COoMBS,.
Esq. the Mayor, in the Chair;—Resolved, That a
Congratulatory Address be drawn up, and signed by
the Mayor, Corporation, and Inhabitants of Wind-
sor and its environs, and presented to his MAJESTY
by Col. Dasisttow and RICHARD RiiMSBuTTObI, Esq.
Members for the Borough. That the Mayor). &c.
-go to Church on the 15th of (Mobl-, and that a
Sermon be preached on the occasion. That it is re-
quested that the Royal Horse Guards (Blues), and
the King's Own Royal Regiment of Staffordshire
Militia, and the Volunteers of Windsor and Clewer,
do attend and fire a feu de joie, together with the
discharge of 60 pieces of cannon. That dinners be
provided at all the inns and taverns, &c. fur those
who wish to take tickets. That the poorer inhabi-
tants of the town of 'Windsor and Clewer, whq are
not above accepting of bread, meat, and beer, shall
be provided with them that day, to envoy the festi-
val. That there be a ball and supper the following
evening at the Town Hall, for the Ladies. And, to
prevent accidents and inconveniences by a general
illuMination, it is resolved, that a grand piece of
illumination be ereded, and a grand display of fire-
works, and a discharge of So pieces of cannon on
a conspicuous part, tree from any danger.' That a
subscription be immediately opened at the two
Banking-houses in Windsor, to defray the expence
of the illumination, fire-works, and entertainment
for the poor inhabitants. That this Meeting do
adjourn .to the 13th of October, when the books
of the subscription will be closed, and laid before
the public.
Mr. Alderman ATKINs, one of the new Sheriffs,
gave on Saturday a most splendid entertainment at
the London Tavern. The company. consisted of
near three hundred persons, amongst whom we no-
ticed several of the most eminent commercial cha-
racters of the country.
• •We are informed the Worshipful Company of
Goldsmiths intend to give a grand dinner on the 25th
instant; in honour of the day, being the aoth Anni-
versary of.his Majesty's Accession.
• The Liverymen of the Fishmongers' Company, it
appears, have exptessed to the Master of it their
wish that the Court should also celebrate the 15th of
October; and there is every reason to believe that.
all the other Companies will contribute towards the
splendour of the day, by entertaining. heir respec-
tive Members. .
It is now very generally understood, to be the in-
tention of the Corporation Towns throughout the
kingdom to go in State to Church on the 25th
of (Mabel., and that in the several Cathedrals tlie
full service appointed for the day will be read and
chaunted, with the grand Anthems which are usual-
ly sung on great festivals. ,
We are glad to learn that the poor of the parishes
of St. James and St. Martin are to be regaled with
the superfluity of the entertainment to be given at
the Opera. House, on the 25th instant ; an example
that it is to he hoped will be generally followed
every where.
• The LORD MAYOR will hold a Court of Common
Council to-morrow, for the purpose of further con-
sidering the intended Juhilee.
