DOVER, SEPT.IO.

The election for mayor came on yesterday, and excited
rather more than usual attention, as the parties who had
been prominent in the last election of Members of Parlia-
ment were expected to exert themselves for their respec-
tive friends. Captain Edward Boxer, R. N. was the
magistrate on turn, and was supported by the corporation,
but at the close of the poll, the numbers were,

Joseph Webb Filcher, Esq 484
Captain Edward Boxer 294
John Shipden, Esq.
George Stringer, Esq.

and Mr. Pitcher was declared duly elected, and sworn into
office.

We have had a very pretty boat race in the bay to-day,
a sort of sequil to our regatta. The Vigilant, custom-
house cutter, having callenged the Dover boatmen, a very
severe contest ensued between a four-oared galley' of the
Vigilant's, and a four-oared galley manned by Dover Bay
boatmen, and the latter were victorious.
Our races are fixed for Thursday and Friday, the 12th
and 13th, and very good sport is expected. The town
never was so full of visitors; not a lodging unoccupied.
A race hall announced for Thursday night, and a full
attendance expected.

By the accounts from Hamburgh the profit
on the exportation of gold from this country is somewhat
lower, being 15.32, or rather less than per cent. ; the
premium on gold at Paris is 201. per mine, which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce, gives an
exchange of 25 66, and the exchange at Paris on London,
at short, being 25 47k, it follows that gold is per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London.— Times.

The public are now pretty well aware that in
consequence of gold yielding a profit upon its exportation
to meat parts of the Continent, it has been drawn from
this country to a considerable amount, and it is possible
that this exportation will yet increase. This important
fact, we apprehend, will be hailed by practical men as
one of the preliminary steps to the future prosperity of
this commercial country, and we therefore have noticed
it in order to allay the fears which may exist in the minds
of those who, not understanding the nature of our ex-
changes, may dread the consequence of this change in our
monetary relations with the Continent of Europe. Its first
effect may cause the Bank of England to contract their
cireulation of large notes, but its second effect will be to
induce them to supply the vacuum in our circulating
medium occasioned by the temporary passage of sovereigns
to the Continent by means of relaxation in the circulating
medium of the paper currency. Thus, founded upon the
basis of a sound metallic currency on the Continent,
which henceforward will give them the power to be
consumers of our produce, the prosperity of the manu-
facturing and agricultural interests of this country will
be secured to permanency by a further and yet correct
return to an amelioration in our paper currency.—Morn-
leg Herald.
RIOT AT HASTINGS.—...A new fish market
has been built at Hastings, under which the New Im-
provement Act compels the fishermen to sell their fish,
although it contains a proviso allowing fish to be hawked
about the town. The fishermen, however, insist on selling
on fish stalls on the beach, and refuse to sell in the market.
Several have been fined, and in default of payment, com-
mitted to prison for five days. This roused the whole
body, about 100 of whom (many of them carrying pick-
axes and weapons of various kinds), marched towards the
gaol to liberate their companions, and upon their arrival
they commenced a demolition of the building. Such was
their violence and their formidable appearance, that the
Mayor was obliged to liberate the fishermen, who joinned
the rioters, and they then proceeded to the pound and
carried off four carts, which had been impounded for
being left on the beech. After marching with the carts
in triumph, some dispersed, while others went to the
residence of Mr. Standing, one of the Commissioners under
the Town Act, and broke his windows ; they intended to
do the same mischief to the house of Mr. Chapman, ano-
ther Commissioner, but were opposed by Dr. Chapman,
upcn whom they committed a ruffianly assault, and inflicted
a cat on his head. After this the mob dispersed and the
town resumed its former tranquillity.
GAME.—The Earl of Surrey has very
liberally discontinued his present plan for the preserva-
tion of gatpe on the 'parlors :of Worksop and Shireoaks,
and given permission to his tenants to shoot, course, of
viliszh.,utphoa the
upon their
thei, respective farms, on certain conditions,
privilege be confined to themselves, and
not to their friends without his Lordship's permission, and
that they will use all their endeavours to keep off poachers
and other unauthorized persons. His Lordship reserves
to himself a power (with his own friends) to sport CA/
all the farms at pleasure.
