GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 26.—1 t was believed at first
that the autumnal reviews would be put off, on
account of the intended visit of her Majesty the
Empress of Russia, but it appears that the King has
hesitated to keep the Landwehr by this delay, though for a
few days only, from their agricultural labours. The Em-
press will be here by the end of the month, and stay till
November.
Baron Von Bulow, our ambassador to London, has just
arrived here. Some persons imagine,but probably without
reason, that the arrival of the Baron as a member of the
London Conference has some political motive. It is more
likely that Baron Bulow wishes to see his father in law,
the Minister of State, Baron Von Humboldt, who is so
dangerous ill at his country seat, at Segel, that he will
hardly live till the winter. It appears that our ambassadors
at Madrid and Brussels, M. V. Liebermann and Baron V.
Arnim, are not to return to their posts, and it is pro-
bable that they will remain vacant for the present.
ZURICH, SEPT. 18.--The New Zurich Gazette contains
the following articles :—" The Russian Charge de Affaires
in Switzerland has addressed to the President of the Diet
the followinc, letter, dated from Eldi, near Lausanne.
M. President,—l believe that I cannot more suitably reply
to the communication with which your Excellency honoured
me on the 4th inst., than by transmitting to you the accom-
panying extract, from a dispatch which I have just received
from the Imperial Ministry. The lively and sincere satisfac-
tion with which the Emperor has learnt the happy issue of
the late negotiations between Switzerland and the neigh-
bouring States, fully persuades me that his Majesty will not
refuse justly to appreciate the protocol of the Diet of the 22d
of July, as it confirms the proceedings of the directing Canton,
on an occasion in which it declares that Switzerland,
prudent and considerate, will never deviate from the
course prescribed by the law of nations, and by the true
honour and manifest interests of the country. Our
wishes will continually be, that the Diet may more and more
consolidate this conciliatory and salutary system, and that all
the Cantons will follow this direction, and co-operate with
sincerity and activity in the execution of a resolution which is
especially calculated to guarantee the tranquillity of Switzer-
land itself. Accept the assurances,
(Signed) " M. DE SEVERINE.
Extract from a despatch of his Excellency the Vice-
Chancellor to M. de Severine

" ST. PETERSBURGII, JULY 30, 1834.—The Emperor has
learnt with real pleasure the happy issue of the embarrass-
ments which the residence and intrigues of Polish and other
refugees had produced between Switzerland and the neigh-
bouring states. The directing Canton, after taking a correct
and judicious step with respect to his Majesty the King of
Sardinia, has, by its notes of 24th June, not only recognised
the principle that every individual received into the territory
of the Confederation, who should abuse the asylum offered
him, to carry on intrigues against the tranquillity of other
states, shall be immediately expelled, but it has besides taken
on itself the formal obligation to act on this principle if the
occasion should present itself. In this manner just causes
for complaint are removed, and every thing justifies the hope
that friendship and confidence will soon be restored between
Switzerland and the neighbouring states, which were lately
under the necessity of requiring from it pledges of peace and
tranquillity; and the directing Cantons, and especially its
worthy President, have thereby rendered a service to their
country on which our august Sovereign with pleasure offers
his sincere congratulations. It is now for the Diet to conso-
lidate the work of conciliation which has been so happily
begun. The Emperor expects this result with the friendly
interest which he has at all times felt in the welfare of Swit-
zerland. The services which you, sir, have rendered in the
course of this arduous negotiation, and what you have contri-
buted to its success, have not been overlooked ; on the con-
trary, his Imperial Majesty has been pleased to acknowledge
these services, and graciously to signify to you his gracious
approbation. You have correctly anticipated the desire of his
Majesty in resolving to be present at the Diet, and his Ma-
jesty cannot but approve your having complied in this point
with the proposal of the Burgomaster, &c.
( Signed) " NESSELRODE."

COMMON HALL-THIS DAY.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.

A Common Hall was held this morning for the purpose of
electing a new Lord Mayor. At 12 o'clock the Lord Mayor
arrived in the Hall, when the Corporation, as usual proceeded
to hear a sermon in the church of St. Lawrence, and soon
after one o'clock, he, accompanied by Aldermen Winchester,
Kelly, Copeland, Marshall, Wood, &c., and the usual city
officers, took their places on the hustings, when the Hall was
opened in the usual form.
The Recorder then stated the purpose for which the Hall
had been called, and the forms to be used in the election. _

ACcording to immemorial usage, the Lord Mayor and Al-
dermen returned to their own Court, when the Common Ser-
geant read over the names of those Aldermen who had not
passed the Chair.
Alderman Winchester's name was the first in rotation, and
was received by the whole hall with great applause. A forest
of hands were held up for him.
The other names were severally put, but not one hand was
held up for any of them, except for Alderman Copeland, who
had about six, and Sir C. Marshall, for whom there were about
the same number held up.
The Sheriffs then declared that the election had fallen upon
Aldermen Winchester and Alderman Copeland. They then
retired to inform the Court of Aldermen of the result of the
election, so that they might choose one of the two for the office.
In a quarter of an hour the Lord Mayor and Aldermen returned,
Alderman Winchester walking on the right hand of the Lord
Mayor, the usual place for him upon whom the Aldermen's
choice has fallen.

The fact was announced to the Hall by the Recorder,
amidst repeated cheers.
Alderman WINCHESTER was then called upon to come for-
ward and take upon himself the office, upon pain of being
fined. _ . .

The worthy Aldermen then came forward and accepted the
office. He also returned thanks for the honour done him, and
trusted that in his conduct his year of office he would so con-
duct himself as to deserve the praise of that Hall. Public
men were public property, and he hoped that his good inten-
tions would be so far carried into effect as to deserve the
thanks of the Livery. He would do what was expected of
every Lord Mayor, viz., his duty.—( A laugh.) He would
not detain them longer, as their time was precious, neither
could he say more if he spoke for an hour.
The chain of office was then put round his neck, by the
sword-bearer, when the Lord Mayor elect wished the gentle-
men present all good morning"—( A laugh)—and retired
amidst great cheering.
Mr. Hicxs proposed a resolution of thanks to the late sheriffs
for the manner in which they had discharged the duties of their
office. It also congratulated them upon the fact that no exe-
cution had place in their Shievralty.
Mr. Deputy BLACKETT seconded the resolution, which was
put and carried unanimously.
It was then ordered to be signed by the Town Clerk, and
published as usual.
Mr. Alderman WILSON returned thanks, and declared that
the vote just come to was the proudest thing ho had ever re-
ceived, and it was a great consolation to him to carry the satis-
faction of having pleased his fellow-citizens along with him
into retirement. He paid a tribute of thanks to his colleague,
for the advice he had at all times given him.
Alderman HARMER also shortly returned thanks for the com-
pliment paid him by the Livery. He was most thankful that
it bad not fallen to his lot to witness any executions while in
office, for he had for years been of opinion, that so far from
doing good, they did much harm.
The Hall was then dissolved.
Mr. Charles Pearson, the Common Councilman, officiated
as Under Sheriff for Sheriff Raphael.
