THE INGOLDSBY LEGENDS;
Or, MIRTH AND MARVELS.

By THOMAS INGOLDSBY, Esq.
The easy fluency of Ingoldsby's verse always reminds us
of Wolcot. There is good humour even in his satire ; and his
prose is so naturally and t•imply written, with a genuine Eng-
lish turn in the stile, that we know of nothing better in Wol-
cot's prefaces."—Examiner.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or trrated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, which arise
froth certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
twn of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-

sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through. the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.
COMMON HALL.—(YESTERDAY.)
Yesterday, according to annual custom, a Common
Hall was held in the Guildhall of the City of London,
for ;he purpose of presenting two Aldermen to the Court
of Aldermen, in order that the Court mieht choose one
of them to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing
year. As no opposition was expected, the want),
attendance, and the comparatively noiseless nature
of the assemblage, contrasted strongly with the scenes
which took place last year at the election of Lord Mayor.
Shortly after eleven o'clock the Corporation proceeded
in procession to the Church of St. Lawrence, Jewry,to
attend Divine service.
Shortly after one o'clock the Corporation' returned to
Guildhall, and the Hall was opened in the usual form by
the Town Clerk.
The lle.couvert then came forward and said, Gentle-
men of the Livery of London, you are called on this day
to exercise one of the principal privileges you enjoy,
namely, the election of the Chief MagtStrate of your
ancient city;' -to be Alderman of London, and to have
served the office of Sheriff, are the necessary qualifica-
tions to fill the office of Lord Mayor. The course which
the ancient customs 'and charter of London prescribe is
this, you should nominate to the Court of Aldermen
two members of this body, and the Court of Alder-
men should select one of those so nominated
to fill the office of Lord Mayor. According to appointed
usage, the Learned Common Sergeant will, in the first
instance, present to your notice the names of those Al-
dermen who have not yet passed the Chair ; but it is
your undoubted privilege to put in nomination any two
Aldermen duly qualified, without regard to the circum-
stance of their having previously exercised the functions
of Chief Magistrate. Our free and ancient institutions
have stood the test of time;_ they have resisted, with equalsuccess, the assaults of democracy and the encroach-
ments of arbitrary power. In order that the Magis-
trate may be independent in the discharge of his duty,
the office of Alderman is of a permanent character ; but,
to arrive at any further distinction, it is necessary he
should acquire the good will, and possess the confidence
of his fellow-citizens. He presents himself to the great
popular body of - the -Livery, when he solicits his elec-
tion to the office of Sheriff of London and Middle-
sex. He again constitutes the Livery of London
the judges of his public life and conduct when he aspires
to the office of Lord Mayor. The trust, then, which is
reposed in you, is equally delicate and important, and I
have no doubt that you will wisely exercise it to the com-
mon benefit and the good. of the state.
The COMMON SERGEANT having submitted to the Hall
the names of the Aldermen qualified to serve the office
of Lord Mayor, declared that the Sheriffs were of
opinion that the choice had fallen on John Pirie, Esq.,
Alderman and plasterer, and Thomas Wood, Esq., Alder-
' man and frame-work knitter.
The Members of the Corporation then retired to re-
port to the Court of Aldermen the decision of the Com-
mon Hall, and on their return •
The RECORDER announced that the election had fallen
. on John ririe, Esq., Alderman and plasterer.
This announcement was received with loud cheering.
Mr. Alderman PIRIE then came forward, amidst ge-
.

neral cheering, to return thanks for the honour'which
had been conferred on him. He had little thought, forty
years ago, when he came up to London a poor lad from
the banks of the Tweed—(Cheers)that so high an
honour awaited him. He would Make no professions,
but would confine himself to expressing a hope, if he
appeared before them on that day twelvemonths, he
would be found to have done'everythincr in his power to
uphold the dignity of the City of London, as well as to
maintain' their privileges.—(Cheers.)
The Sword-bearer then invested the worthy Alderman
with the chain of office.
Mr. D. W. WIRE then moved a vote of thanks to the
late Sheriffs, Mr. Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Alderman
Faracombe, fur their efficient discharge of the duties of
their office, for their hospitality, and their attention to
the charities of that great city.
Mr. STEPHENS seconded the motion. The late
Sheriff's had, by their impartiality; won the applause of
both parties.
._.- • •:
The vote was then put, and unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Alderman GIBBS said, that after.his anxious year
of office, it was highly gratifying to him to receive such
a fiatterinc, mark of their approbation, more particularly
for the mode in which they had presided over the elec-
tion. He offered them his sincere acknowledgements for
the honour they had conferred on him.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman FARNCOMBE begged to repeat the ex-
.pressions of satisfaction which had been expressed by his
worthy colleague. He was rejoiced to find that by his
conduct he had . given satisfaction to the Livery. In
taking office he had determined not to look to the right
hand or to the left, but to do his duty.--(Cheers.) He
thanked them again and again. • _ _ _

On the motion of Air. WIRE, seconded by Mr.
STEPHENS, the vote of thanks to the late Sheriffs was
ordered to be advertised in the usual Morning and Even-
ing Papers, and the TOWN-CLERK declared the Com-
mon-Hall dissolved.
