I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and very faithful servant, lof the Reformation. He was educated in the Catholic
JOHN JOHNSON. Church, and performed for some years the duties of curate,
Ibut ever with the greatest reluctance, from a firm
conviction that the sole obj, et of the Roman
hierarchy is to enslave the human mind. "I must only
worship and honour GoD," says he, "as the POPE
directs ; and no other mode of serving GOD is per-
mitted but that which the infallible Church of Rome
dictates. As Roman priest, I have neither liberty of
thought nor of conscience. To this must be added im-
plicit obedience to my superior, from whom there lies
no appeal. The Roman priest is never looked up to as
a free agent ; he is a mere instrument to diffuse the
mist of superstition." We fear that there is too much
truth in the statement, and that these remarks apply to
more churches than one. Ignorance and superstition
furnish to the priests the lever by which they raise
themselves to the rank of gods, and while profess-
ing to be the followers, the lineal descendants
of the poor and humble Apostles, they are unlike them
in every respect. Never was there such an insult to the
human understanding as the assumption that the Pope
of ROME and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY are the
representatives of PETER and PAUL. But in the dark
ages this was the prevailing doctrine and implicitly be-
lieved by the ignorant multitude, including kings as
well as nobles. In this country, where general know- '
ledge has made some useful progress, the pretension is
never advanced without universal ridicule, but in Ca-
tholic countries this remnant of the dark ages still exists.
In Italy the POPE, at best a poor frail, erring creature
like the rest of mankind, is adored as the representative
of ST. PETER, the multitude fall down before him as they
would before a divine being ; in Spain his power
is equally paramount—that country cannot be settled
without his will and his interests are consulted ; and
even in enlightened Germany, where Popery still pre-
vails, this foreign incubus embitters domestic life, and not
unfrequently excites the people to rise in open rebellion
against the State. Need we wonder then that this young
man RONGE, for he is only about 30 years of age, has
roused the people to a sense of their degradation by
exposing the secrets of the prison house ? " I abjure,"
he says, " the tyrannical power of the Roman hierarchy,
since it has introduced corruptions and framed enact-
ments calculated to undermine the spiritual and
temporal welfare of the community, and further
merely the power and riches of a privileged order
of priesthood, at the head of which is the
Bishop of ROME." For these and other plain truths
he was prosecuted in the superior spiritual courts,
denounced as a heretic, and among other charges were
two which show the despotic and degrading spirit
which, to its destruction, still animates the Church of
Rome. The one was that he " wore a sh4irt coat and
unbecoming long hair," and the other that he had
written an article on the " holy coat of Treves,"
thereby tending to bring t i 3 sacred relict and th e
Church with it into contempt. He was consequently
excommunicated. Our readers probably know that this
" holy coat" has attracted a million of pilgrims, and
that it has healed the sick and performed miracles, if
credit is to be given to the priesthood; and that no
trifling sum has been brought into the coffers of the
Church through the delusions practised by Christian
ministers on the ignorant and superstitious multitude.
Such a contemptible scheme in these days savours more
of madness than ecclesiastical policy ; and we, there-
fore, fondly hope that it is a proof that the whole fabric
is tottering to its fall, and that the day is approaching
when the superstitions of Rome, which our Puseyites so
zealously revere, will be numbered with the things
that were. .We give, as a curiosity, the sentence of
excommunication pronounced on this heretic by his
bishop
In consequence of your answer of the 30th of last month
received on the Ist instant, in which you acknowledge your-
self to be the author of the article on the holy coat of Treves,
which appeared without your signature in the Fatherland
newspaper, and will not recant, in accordance with my de-
cree of the 29th of October last, and in conformity and by
virtue of the canon law and its provisions, I am painfully
compelled to visit with degradation and excommunication
the author of the alleged ecclesiastical offences contained in
the said articles. I further require you without delay to
deliver up your letters of orders. As you have refused to
appear according to summons, and thereby deprived me of
the much-desired opportunity of bestowing my fatherly and
affectionate advice, in the hope of removing your erroneous
and anti-church views its general, and such especially as re-
late to the worship of relics and the holy coat, to the painful
sentence I have been compelled to pass, it remains only for
me to join my fervent prayer that God's grace may guide
you to a right understanding of the Catholic faith, and lead
you to distinguish between a true and false veneration for
relics ; to the latter of which alone you appear to have con-
fined your attention."

GESS have long since disposed of the mistakes and
failures involved in the latter. The railway scrip mar-
ket, the frenzy of share-gambling, the brawling of Ca-
pel-court extra fores, the daily appeals to magisterial
I interference and protection to put down acts of violence
and outrage committed in the public streets, under
the fierce excitement of this excessive speculation,
which has started sp as if with the express purpose
of holding up to ridicule the predictions of the Premier,
have furnished a memorable and instructive commentary
on the latter. A Mr. WETENHALL spits at and cuffs a
stock share-broker in a crowded throughfare of the City
at noon day; and a Mr. 13Loxoat declaims, with a little of
PEEL'S own elixir in his hand (apurse of gold sovereigns),
on the value of railway shares and schemes in terms of
such vituperative and scandalous force, that a policeman's
sense of propriety and decency is absolutely scandalised
by them. From symptoms like these one might infer
that the currency opinions and speculative preventa-
tives of Sir ROBEUT were not so absolutely infal-
lible as he clearly supposed them to be when he
uttered his philippics against the " Gemini" and
the Birmingham school ; or when, more recently, he
undertook to " snub" Mr. NEWDECATE. But here is a
practical fact—a " golden" token of his own Mint—an
axiom of his own doctrine, his own proclamation—
which, week after week, is bringing out the fearful de-
monstration that " the Currency Reform, commenced in
1819, and which received its complement in 1845," is—
as we have never ceased to declare it would prove to be
—a destructive delusion. AU the efforts of the Bank
parlour cannot run up the " score" of the " store" of
gold bullion. Week by week it has a tendency to become
" small by degrees and beautifully less." At Paris, at
Hamburgh, at Bremen, it is reported, every seventh day,
higher than in London. The London Gazette,
every seventh day, reports the " gold coin and
bullion" in the " Issue Department" in declining
quantity. On Friday, the 26th, we find it stated at no
more than 12,863,507 L The maximum, in the short
interval which has elapsed since the publication of these
weekly accounts, was upwards of 16,000,000 L Three
millions, only, of quarters of foreign corn imported will
about replace the twelve which heads these millions by
the eight that heads these thousands. We hope and
trust the course of these returns is being narrowly
watched by those who sit in Parliameit. Those who
do not must ere now have begun to prepare for the
coming storm which will follow on a greater run down
of this golden clockwork, which it is clear the Premier's
sagacity cannot keep in due time or working.

council of state, were expected to appear in the Gazette
on the following day. It was understood that Senor
Buncos was to be Vice-President, and that the Duke
DE FRIAS, the Marquis DE VILUMA, M. DE MIRA-
FLORES, Messrs. AYLLON, OLIVAN, MESA, &C., were to
form part of the council. The Duke DE RIANZARES had
arrived from Paris. The papers still continued to write
about the proposed marriages of the QUEEN and her
sister, but we see nothing in the articles deserving no-
tice. No business was dune on the Bourse.

The Provisional Committee, after giving their anxious attention to
the aloiment of the shares, beg to announce that it is now completed.
The letters of allotment will be posted on TUESDAY next, the 30th
instant. The number of applications from Cornwall and Devon, and
the districts connected with the railway, has been so great that the
Committee have found themselves compelled, with much regret, to
reject the applications of many respectable parties, and to reduce, in
many instances, the number applied for by these parties whose ap-

ONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 6,000
bales, all to the trade. Shares were steady et advanced rates.
A commercial communication from New York, received by
the Caledonia to-day, bye most influential merchant of the
City, observes :—" Our affairs with Mexico still remains in
suspense, though with diminished probabilities of any col-
lision. United States Stocks have not rallied to their pre-
vious quotations." But in :a postscript it is added—" Since
writing the preceding we find the quotations of this morning's
meeting of the Board of Brokers indicative of a general de-
cline—the market closing heavy." This is under date of
New York, the 15th September.
We find by the commercial accounts which have just come
to hand, that there is every probability of the Viscount
Abrantes succeeding in his mission of forming a treaty with
the Zollverein. If this point is gained, it must be in direct
opposition to the best interests of England, and the more
mortifying will it be because, in the first instance, the Bra-
zilian Envoy was deputed to our Court with the offer of libe-
ral terms for the formation of a new commercial treaty. Upon
previous occasions it has been noticed by us how advantageous
such a combination would be to the manufacturing interest
of this country, but with a species of wilfulness which cannot
be easily accounted for, the policy of Sir R. Peel appears to
be to throw everything into the bands of foreigners for the
purpose of keeping up the monopoly of the West India plan-
ters. A very slight reduction in the duties upon Brazilian
sugar would have cemented the mercantile intercourse which
has so beneficially been carried on between the two nations.
From Canada we have not much news of interest to-day.
The intention to form communications between various
parts of the colony was still very much extolled, 'and no
question a full measure of support would be given to it. The
trade of the colony was very good.
From Buenos Ayres the advices are important, and a ter-
mination of the Monte Videan blockade having been effected,
we shall hear soon of open war between England, France,
and Buenos Ayres, or of the acquiescence of Roses in our
demands.

THE ENCHANTRTSS.

A very heavy market has prevailed this morning for the
British Securities. Consols for Money have receded to 973,(,
and f,r Account to 97%. The " stalking horse" of the Bears
is, that war between this country and the United States is
rendered likely, in consequence of the collision between the
litter and Mexico. It is a long time since the value of the
Three per Cents. was so low- as it is at the present, but it
should be remarked that not a great deal of business has
been transacted. Exchequer-bills are firm, at 465. 475.
premium. Bank Stock is at 212 for Account.
There is but one quotation in Spanish Stock to-day, 27 for
the Actives. The Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are
at 99% ; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have fallen
from 60% to 59%; and the Four per Cents. for the Account
are quoted at 97%. The Portuguese Four per Cents. are
firm at 59%; Danish at 90 ; and the Mexican at 323/ %.
This is the settlement day in the Railway Share Market,
and the greater part of the attention of the brokers, the
jobbers, and others, are directed to this important matter.
The principal transactions have been in the shares and scrip
of the minor lines, and, as far as can be ascertained at present,
matters have progressed well. The corrected list is annexed,
and by which the various fluctuations may, on perusal, be
accurately seen.

LESSEE, MR. B. WEBSTER.
THIS EVENING

The Paris papers continue their discussions on the
late elections, those of the Opposition endeavouring to
show that the Government have no great cause for exul-
tation, while the others seem quite content with the
victory ; but these party contests have little interest here.
The Moniteur publishes two reports, which extend to
great length, relative to the affair of Madagascar. M.
DESFOSSES, the commandant of the naval station of
Bourbon, who sends these reports, states that the arrange-
ments for the attack had been combined with the captain
of the Conway, who was in the same position as himself,
there being the same number of British as French sub-
jects exposed to the tyranny of the Queen of MADA-
GASCAR. It appears, as already stated, that every effort
was made to bring the QUEEN'S agents to reason
before the attack, but that all the representations of the ,
English and French officers were treated with contempt
and insolence. In concluding his second report, M.
DESFOSSES says:—" I have just exchanged the salutes
of adieu with the English frigate the Conway, at the
moment of separation, as, during their junction, the
officers, sailors, and soldiers of the two nations have not
ceased to testify, in the warmest manner, the high
esteem and cordial sympathy that they entertain for
each other.
Some of the Opposition jeurnali make severe:comments
on the dispatches, and express no little indignation:at the
entente cordiale between the two forces. Louis PEILIPPE
continues to display great activity at Eu. On Thurs-
day, the weather being very fine, his MAJESTY went on
board the Caiman steamer, in the roadstead of TriSport,
for the purpose of distributing the decorations of the
Legion of Honour, which his MAJESTY has been pleased
to confer on twelve officers, non-commissioned officers,
and seamen of the squadron assembled at Treport, on the
occasion of his residence at Eu. The KING entered his
carriage at about eleven o'clock, with the Count DE
PARIS, and the Dukes DE NEMOURS and D'AUMALE.
IliS MAJESTY and their Royal .Highnesses were accom-
panied by the Ministers of Marine, Commerce, and Jus-
tice, Generals ATHALIN, D'HOUDETOT, GOURGAUD, and
MARBOT, Colonel DUMAS, and other persons of the
household. At noon the royal flag was flying at
the masthead of the Caiman. His MAJESTY, after
passing through Treport amidst the acclamations
of the people, embarked in the royal barge,
whilst salutes were being fired from the vessels and
the shore. The KING, who was received with
enthusiasm on board the Caiman, placed him-
self in front of the officers and crew on the deck,
where the officers and seamen of the other vessels who
were to be decorated had also assembled. The Mi-
nister of Marine, after taking the orders of the KING,
called over the names of the new legionnaires, and they
came forward successively to receive the cross of honour
at the hands of his MAJESTY, and to take the oath,
which was read over by the Minister. The ceremony
having terminated, the ICING went over the Caiman,
and expressed his approbation at the good order of the
vessel and crew. He then entered the royal barge, and
returned to land amidst repeated cries of Vive le Roi!
His MAJESTY returned to the Chateau of Eu at one.
The following are miscellaneous extracts :
" M. Guizot is still at Beausejour, where he will, it s
said, remain till October 2, when he takes up his residence at
Paris. Marshal Soult is expected to leave Soultberg on the
loth of next month, and to arrive in Paris on the '2lst.
"Count de Rambuteau, the Prefect of the Seine, who had
retuned to Paris, after a month's absence at his family seat
of Rambuteau, set out for London on Saturday morning in
order to visit the public markets of that city and the prin-
cipal towns of England, and be better able to decide on the
question of the new halles which are about to be erected in
Paris.

The accounts of the probable product of the harvest
becomes, as every day unfolds its probabilities, more and
more unsatisfactory. The quantity, except only as to a
few favoured districts, is reported from Mark-lane as
much below the ordinary average. The quality is still
more generally deteriorated. The want of sunny weather,
it is said, has left the grain so soft that it was difficult
to thresh, and is now found to yield a flour neither in
bulk nor character of an average sort. Of the unusually
large proportion which is still unearried, and even uncut,
so much has been laid by heavy rains and boisterous
winds, that it is deemed scarcely worth while to leave a
margin for this proportion of the crops in calculating the
aggregate yield of the season. The infusion of a large
supply of stored wheats, both foreign and home grown,
into the market has, for the present, somewhat checked
the tendency to advance in the price of bread paid by
the consumer in the metropolis and the southern coun-
t ties. But the general conviction has already operated
to bring in large supplies of foreign corn, by way of sup-
plementing a scarcity which can hardly be spoken of
any longer as " anticipated" only, but of which the de-
velopment is already commenced. With painful soli-
citude we are compelled to ask—supposing these fears
to be verified, according to the impressions of the
framers of the Mark-lane Circular, by the concurring
effect of the returns hitherto sent in with those which
have yet to be made—that is to say, by the same de-
plorable report of a defective aggrt gate—what must be
the consequences to this country ? That influence which
we have so repeatedly deprecated, as the inevitable
legacy bequeath( d to the empire by the Parliaments
which passed Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Monetary Bills, is
already active, and its presence is attested by indications
that admit of no mistake. The efflux of gold, occasioned
by importations of foreign corn, which payment is no
longer taken for in British manufactures, has
begun. What is to stop this ebbing tide ? The
law of reaction is infinitely weaker and more un-
certain in the relations of money and corn, so far
as supply and demand are concerned, than in any other
branch of trade or commerce. It does not at all follow—
(but the fatal crotchet of the bullionists is to assume
always this proposition)—that, so soon as the deficiency
of the supply of grain is adjusted, the gold will flow back

This last very whimsical contrieante, on its first exposi-
tion to Parliament, disturbed the wavity of every man
who had a practical acquaintance with the Money
Market, and the functions to he performed, by what
we shall call (to distinguish it from the incalcu-
lable mass of property in the thee kingdoms which
it leaves without any power, even, of commutation into
money) the representative capiti of the empire. By
those who comprehended the theoy of money, and had
reduced its principles to the strict,„ of
definition, the
plan was viewed with profound asrmishment and alarm.
The reckless Premier attemptedto be jocular on the
remonstrances urged by the ATTvoons, the CAYLEYS,
the SPOONERS, the TAYLORS, and other authorities on
the important question of c,rrencY and bank-
ing. He turned a deaf er to the doubts
of Lord A sun ciente, and tempted to brow-
beat Mr. NEWDEGATE out his incipient con-
' victions that there was consideray less than " absolute
wisdom" in the project which,svit his usual dexterity at
appropriating the suggestions Mother men's minds, he
had elaborated from the doctrincof ifonNER, Hus
SON, Lord LIVERPOOL, &c., and ,mbled together in his
"checking exessive speculation," and
pet invention for
I maintaining the"banking systerem a sound and Tespon-
Bible footing." The Banker's &,gazine and Mr. Bun.

To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles In the transits to London, must be added that of con-
necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate
lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis,
thereby saving ranch time and inconvenience.
The length of this line will not exceed 57 miles, and it will save an
average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places,
as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western
Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering
difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun-
ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does,
parks and ornamental property.

The say by this line, as compared with the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway, will be about four miles ; but the time
saved in the journey between these places will be about thirty minutes,
in consequence of the greater speed attainable on the broad gauge,
which it is the intention of this Company to adopt.
It will be seen from the foregoing facts that the formation of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de-
livery of their many marketable products by opening another and
more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to ex-
pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an
immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at
least 10 per cent. on the capital :required. This is manifest, as the
construction of the line will not cost 20,0001. per mile, while the
London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,0001. per mile, upon which
enormous outlay it continues to I•ay 15 per cent.
Shareholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, South
Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre-
ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally Interested.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament
shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four
per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which,
from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to
exceed two years.

M. Phillippe has the honour to announce that, in consequence
of the unprecedented success of his entertainment at the St. James's
Theatre, he has taken the New Strand Theatre, which WILL OPEN
This EVENING, September 29, Si the exhibition of his
celebrated TOURS DE PHYSIQUE, and surprising feats of
MAGICAL DELUSION. The performances will be varied by the

PRESENTATION
OF PLATE.-011 Saturday night,
" Y:the Performances had concluded at
,tbe Adelp_hil a very
gratifying t. .
sentation of a splendid piece of plate to Mr. Waister, the lessee
of that establishment, the voluntary offering of the artists, au-
thors, and employees of the theatre, to a gentleman whose suc-
cessful exertions to promote the interests of the drama have
been productive of benefit, not to himself alone, but to a vast
number of persons dependentupon the prosperity of theatrical
affairs for their sole support. The particular circumstance
which called for this tribute was, the completion of the first
season under Mr. Webster's lesseeship of the Adeiphi Thea-
tre. The piece of plate, which is a beautifully executed fac
simile of the celebrated Warwick Vase, from the atelier of
Messrs. Mortimer and Hunt, weighing 136 ounces, bears the
following inscription, expressive of the intentions and senti-
ments of the donors :—"This vase was presented to Benjamin
Webster, Esq., Lessee of the Theatre Royal Adeiphi, by the
members, as a token of their regard for his unwearied exer-
tions and perseverance, and to commemorate the unprece-
dented prolongation of the season, which commenced upon the
28th day of September, 1844, and ended on the 27th day of
September, 1845." Madame Celeste, the directress of the
Adeiphi Theatre, with the members of the company, and the
subscribers to the testimonial, being assembled on the stage,
Mr. Paul Bedford, the townsman and early friend of Mr.
Webster, presented the vase to him, accompanied by an ap-
propriate speech, which was suitably acknowledged by Mr.
'Webster. The concluding part of the ceremony consisted in
partaking of a cold collation, and uncorking a goodly array of
champagne bottles, and quaffing their contents to the health
of " The Lessee," "The fair Manageress," and " Prosperity to
the Adelphi Theatre," and which was not the least animated
and pleasurable part of the
...proceedings.
PURCHASE OF THE REGENTS CANAL.—The Re-
gent's Canal has been purchased by a new railway company.
The purchase money is 1,000,000/., of which sum 500,000/. is
to be paid down, and the remaining 500,000/. is to be paid
in three instalments, extending over a period of three years.
The purchase was legally ratified on Thursday. The result
will be most advantageous to the present shareholders in the
canal, for they will now receive 46/. for each share, although,
a short time since, the shares could have been procured as
low as 13/. The Regent's Canal begins at Paddington and
terminates at Blackwell, and we shall consequently have a
railway running through the heart of London, and connect-
ing the Great Western, the London and Birmingham, and
Eastern Counties Railways.—. Railway World.
, HOPS.—Hop-picking has partially commenced in
the counties of Worcester and Hereford. At Worcester fair
on Wednesday only one pocket was seen, and that was not
sold, no price being fixed for it by the grower.—Shrewsbury

ARKET NEW.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market dudes
last week, were on the increase; but those of Barley, Melt,
Oats, and all other grain of home produce were on a my
limited scale. Of Irish Oats, the receipts were tolerab y
good; the imports of Foreign Wheat. and Oats very exteusiva.
of both red and white; yet, as the attendance of London eel
country dealers was large, the demand for that article -w. is
very steady, at fully the advance obtained in the currenci
on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effec.-ed
by the factors. The show of fine Foreign Wheat was, co; o-
peratively speaking, limited. The best qualities sold briskt 7,
at extreme rates, while other kinds moved off steadily, at fidl
prices. For Corn under lock for export, the inquiry was i
no means so active as last week; nevertheless, the import• rs
would not sell, except at fully the late improvement in
the quotations. Very few parcels have bean en•
tered for home consumption at the 17s. duty.
We had very fine parcels of English Barley offering, and the
'show of Foreign was again small. Malting and grinding torts
sold freely, at very full prices; but distilling kinds were •
slow sale. The best kinds of Malt, which were scarce, well.
in improved request, and last week's rates were well sup.
ported. The middling and inferior sorts were in sluggish
request. Notwithstanding the immense arrivals of Foreign
Oats, a good business was doing in all descriptions, and late
rates were sustained in every instance. A few parcels of
Foreign Beans were taken for shipment. The detuat4
for most kinds of English was firm, at the improvement in
value noticed last week. White Peas were dearer; but Ore,
and Maple were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Flour mwell
off slowly, at unaltered currencies. In Seeds very few sal t
were reported.

The past week's importations of live Stock into London
have been again extensive—they having amounted to 61
Oxen from Hamburgh ; 190 Oxen and Cows, together with
477 Sheep and 19 Calves, from Rotterdam, the whale of
which have come to hand in good saleable condition. We
had on offer 71 Oxen and Cows, and 150 Sheep, which
moved off steadily, at previous quotations. The supply of
home-fed Beasts was very extensive, even the time of year.
considered; yet their general quality was by no means
first-rate. The attendance of butchers being some-
what numerous, the primest Scots, Herefords, Desoill,
&c., commanded a ready sale, at fully, but at nothing
quotable beyond, the currencies obtained last week, viz.,
from Bs 8d to 4s per 81bs. In the middling and infbrior
breeds of Beasts, only a limited business was transacted, yet
prices were supported. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and our other northern grazing districts, we received 2,200
short horns; from the Eastern Counties 300 Scots, hornebreds
and short-horns ; from the western and midland districts
500 llerefords, Devons, runts, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 350 of various kinds ; from Scot-
land, 130 Scots ; and from Ireland, 90 Beasts.

From all distant parts very moderate supplies of slaugh-
tered meat have come to hand since this day se'nnight, the
time of year considered. With meat killed in the metropo-
lis, except Pork, we have been fairly supplied; yet the ge-
neral demand has ruled steady. Pork, from its extreme
scarcity, is selling at much higher rates, while the value of
Beef, Mutton, Lamb, and Veal is supported. About 30 car-
cases of Beasts, and 200 ditto of Mutton, imported from
Holland, have sold at fair currencies.

the private contract market, yet the quotations aro generally
supported.
ELE

CTION OF LORD MAYOR.
(THIS DAY.)
This being Michaelmas day, agreeabl custome Chartte ot
the City of London and also to annual , a Common
Hall was held in the' Guildhall, for the purpose of enabling
the Livery of London to exercise their undoubted rights aed
privileges in electing a Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year.
Of late years the election of a Lord Mayor; of London hag
been considered a subject of great interest among the
Livery, and not that common-place routine proceeding
which it formerly used to be. The severe but unsucceseful
contest of Mr. Harmer for the Civic Chair, and
the untiring determination of Alderman Thomas
Wood to present himself annually as a candidate for the office
of chief magistrate of the first city in the world, which his
brethren of the Livery had always accorded to him by a show-
of hands, but whose wishes the Court of Aldermen, in the
plenitude of their judgment, had not thought it right to ac-
cede to, have in no small degreeincreased that interest, and
strengthened the determination of the Livery to persevere in
returning to the Court of Alderman a gentleman whom they
were convinced was in every respect well qualified to fill
the office, and who had only been prevented from doing so
by the unjust scruples entertained by the Court of Alder-
men. The intention of Alderman Thomas Wood again
to ask the suffrages of the Livery having been an-
nounced, all was excitement and bustle at the
Guildhall to-day. At an early hour the neighbourhood of
King-street and the Guildhall presented a good show of pla-
cards calling upon the Livery to elect Alderman Thomas
Wood and Alderman Johnsen to the civic chair, but those or
