THE NEW sIiERIFFS.,.

.
Yesterday, according to annual custom, the
Loan Mayon, accompanied by several Aldertnen,
the Common Serjeant, City o!Ecers, and ,the
Courts of Assistants of the Drapers and' Needre-
makers' CoMpanies., proceeded_ by water from.
Blackfriars-bridge to Westminster-hall, for .the
purpose of presenting the Sheriffs Elect to the
Cursitor Baron of the Contt of Exchequer. On
their arrival at Westminster-hall, the Procession.
walked up to the Court, where 'the Cursitor
Baron was in attendance to receive them. The
LORD MAYOR then advanced towards' the bar,
when the Common Setjeant atidreising the Cur-
silo!. Baron, said that on the part of the Cie v of
London he now came forward to present two
persons whip had been chosen to till t. e high aria
arduous of&e of Sheriff for the year ensuing. ln
recommending them to the Crown for approb4-•
tion, it was Its duty to state that they were men
of the highest character and integrity in the Cor-
poration. It was also not a little creditable to
both Gentlemen, that they came forward, almost
voluntarily, with an offer of their services, at a
time when the City was peculiarly situated, if not
embarrassed, tar want of Sheriff's.
The Cursitor Baron then said---“ On the part
of the Crown I approve the choice the City of
London has made ;" and after the usual address
front.the Common Serjeant, they were sivorn in.
The Focessinn then returned in the same way.;
and after land:og at Blackfriars-bridge, proceed-
ed to Drapers-hall, where they were sumptuously
entertained by Mr—Sheriff THORPE.

The immense sums daily received and expected
from the cZ•decent Btronapartean Princes, to be
Vested in our Funds, will readily account for the
rise, or rather recovery of Stocks, for we can see
no reason why Consols, which were' at 72, when.
in a state of efarfarc, should fall to 56 now we
enjoy universal Peace ; except it was to enable
Mr. 131su to contract with Government . for the
three Fifty Thousand Pound and four Twenty
Thousand Pound Prizes, Ut.c. at that low price
.which gives to purchasers in this Lottery all the
advantage of the rise in Stocks above 56, With the
option of receiving the value in 'Money, if they
prefer it, however high the Stocks may be ; and.
from the appearance of the market we should not
be surprised to see Consols. at 70 before the 7tlt
November, on which day all the Capital Prizes
may be drawn.
We understand very large bets are depending in.
the City on the following Question :—" If a man
vests money in Consols at 61, and they should rise
to 68 in 19 days, (which is not improbable) at what
rate per cent. per annum will that person's money
be improved )". This Question is easily answer-
ed by cons-:,dering another :—"lf a person vests
231. 1 Is. now, in the purchase of a Lottery 'l4lo,
and it should .5e drawni one of the three Prizes of
50;000/. on the ,7th of next Month, (as all the ad-
vantage in the rise of Consols. above 56 will be-
long to him) ‘vhat would be the rate of his prOfit
per cent. per annual ?" Answer, Iletuly three Mil-,
lions per cent. per upturn% profit) for he woidd
receive in the ratio of more than twenty-eight
thousand tittles the monty paid.
