THE CITY REQUISITIONS;

A Requisition for a Court of Common Council
upon the subject of the late proceedings at Man-
chester, was presented to the LORD MAYOR (as
we have already !stated) .on Thursday, about 11
o'clock in the flrenoon, to which his bordship
!promised to return an answer the same day, or
eat ly the vela morning.
-The subject, however, it seems, required seri-
ous and deliberate consideration, and accordingly'
some of tile Aldermen were summoned to 'his
Lordship's Councils, and met
.at the Mansion-
honie at two-o'clock yesterday afternoon.
We have not learnt the different opinions 'de-
livered, but. on the result a letter was received
from his Lordship by one of the Deputation at
lour o'clock yesterday, stating that his Lordship,
confortmlbly to their requisition, .had directed a.
Court of Common Council to be summoned for,
! Thursday, the 9th instant, at the fISUAU hour.
A similar. Requisition, signed by neatly 100
Liverymen, and in precisely-the same terms, was
also pr.esented to his Lordship yesterday, for the
purpose of obtaining a Meeting of the Livery in
.Common Hall, to !whit:la-his Lordship returned a
similar answer, that be should take time to consi-
der of it.

One of the Gentlemen who waited -upon Itim
requested to know when they might call for his
Lordship's answer ?
To which his Lordship replied, " whenever they
thongl►t proper."
On inquiring whether, they might wait upon
him o►► Monday, he again replied, " if they

thought proper.''
The Gentleman, judging from the coolness of
his Lordship's manner that lie was averse to grant-
ing the Hall, observed, .that he hoped his Lord-
ship would give them a definitive answer, and
trusted hit, Lotdship Wonld not deny the Livery
the use of their own Uall, adding, that the Guild-
hall was the freehold of the Livery.

To.which his Lordship replied, that he declined
giving any other answer at peseta, but that he
would consider of it.

The Deputation then withdrew, intending to
wait upon his Lordship for his determination on
Monday next.—(Morning Chronicle )

Some persons in the 'Boiling!) have signed a
Requisition to the High Bailiff to call a Meeting
upon the, subject of the proceedings at Manchester.
In the event of A refus►ii, which the Boroughnian?,
naturally anticipate, they are resolved to call a
Meeting themselves on Kennington Common. A
similar Meeting is in contemplation in Middlesex.

Thursday sennight, at Wolsingham, Jonathan
Nicholson, weaver, made a brutal attack upon
an elderly man, named Thomas Frazier, whom- he
stabbed with a short knife, a little below the ribs
on his right ride. The wound is not dangerous.
Nicholson i- of weak intellect, and had strangely
suspected Frazier of too. great intimacy with his
wife ; but the immediate cause of the attack was
an unfortunate smile, which illuminated the coun-
tenance of the supposed adulterer, as he passed
Nicholson's shop. The weaver believing this
was intended to add insult to crime, threw down
his shuttle, seized thv knife, and -committed the
deed for which he is noW in confinement in the
county gaol. Fr,,ziee is a peaceable and indus-
trious ) .
