Some additional interestings news from the Eas
will be found in another part of The Sun.

ST. JEAN D'ACRE.—Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross,
has just published a small map of the town, fortifica-
tions, and bay of Acre. This is the strongest point
on the coast of Syria, and as Ibrahim Paella has shut
himself up in the place with a number of troops, there
is every probability that he will make a determined
resistance. This plan will, therefore, be found useful
in reading the accounts of the operations along that
part of the coast.
ALDERMAN HARMER.—His friends, in deference to
the wishes of the worthy Alderman, have relinquished
the intention of a public dinner, but they have re-
solved that the occasion shall not pass without their
presenting to him a distinct and especial mark of their es-
teem. Accordingly an active subscription has already
commenced for the purchase of a piece of plate, to the
acceptance of which the same objections cannot apply
•as were, we must say too fastidiously, urged by the
Alderman against a public dinner ; and therefore wo
trust that every effort will be made by those who re-
spect public and private rectitude of action, to make
the present worthy of the Livery of London, and of
him whom they intend to honour. In this we recognise
an auspicious promise that when the opportunity ar-
rives, the election of Alderman Harmer to that Chair,
from which, to the disgrace of London, he was recently
excluded, will obliterate the blot which the Livery has
allowed hypocrisy and fraud to inflict upon its escutcheon.

TILE " LONG VACATION."—The long vaca-
tion terminated on Saturday, though term does not begin
until Monday next. All law proceedings bad slept from
the 10th of August until Saturday, and on that day the
lawyers and their clerks seemed roused from their lethargy
—they rejoiced in putting the law in force against those
who, in their opinion, had treated their " services" of writs
with silent contempt. All xas activity, and by this time
a number of persons know that they bad not been " for-
gotten." In the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday
there were no fewer than 792 declarations filed in actions
in which the defendants had not appeared, and it is sup-
posed that as many were on that eventful day delivered to
attorneys who bad entered •' appearances" for their clients.
In the Courts of Common Pleas and Exchequer the num-
bers were equally large, so that a good deal of business
may be expected for some time. From the 10th of August
to the 24th of October a plaintiff can take no further step
than the set vice of a copy of a writ, and a great many
actions which would otherwise have been brought in the
superior Courts arc for the cessation in those Courts
brought in the Palace Court, which has jurisdiction within
twelve miles from Whitehall, in which Court the proceed-
ings arc more expeditious, and cheaper than in the others.
EASTERN LUXURY IN DRESS. -- Horace,
speaking of Lucuilus (who had pillaged Asia. and first
introduced Asiatic refinements among the Romans), says
;hat, some persons waited on him to request the loan of a
hundred suits out of his wardrobe, for the Roman stage, he
exclaimed.—" A hundred suits how is it possible for me
to furnish such a number? However, I will look over
them, and send you what I have." After some time he
writes a note and tells them he had five thousand, to the
whole or part of which they were welcome.—The Art of
Needlework, ky the Countess of Wilton.

THE LATE CONTEST FOR THE

MAYORALTY.

(FRONI A CORRESPONDENT.)
Aldermen Johnson and Pirie's Committee, although
they have been applied to, have not paid, nor is
it likely they will, the expenses of the fittings-up, and
other matters consequent upon the contest. I believe
the Secondaries cannot proceed by action for th 3 reco-
very of the amount.
Are you aware that Johnson, knowing his infirmity,
would not consent to be put in nomination, unless S;r
Peter Laurie and Alderman Wilson would sit for him
at the Mansion-house on certain days of the week ?
