ELECTION OF SHERIFFS.

A Common-Hall was held on Saturday, for the
election of two Sheriffs in the room of Mr. Rundell,
who had neglected to give bond, and Mr. Ladbroke,
who had paid his fine to be excused serving the
office.

After the Hall had been opened in the usual form,
Mr. TICKNER presented himself to the Livery, and
stated that one of the gentlemen in nomination
(Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq.,) would take upon
himself the office, if it was the wish of the Livery
that he should-be elected.
Mr. CHARLES BLEADEN then came forward on the
part of Mr. Copeland, requesting the Livery not to
choose him this year.
Mr. Hum' spoke at length, reprobating the elect-
ing parties for the purpose of obtaining their fines to
be exempt from serving.

Mr: H. MARRIOTT explained that Mr. Spottis-
woode had assented to take the office at the wish of
his immediate friends and neighbours, and on their
solicitation entirely.
The names were then put up, and on the show of
hands being taken, the Sheriffs declared the election
to have fallen on Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq., citizen
and stationer, and Charles Stable, Esq., citizen and
ironmonger, and they were reported to be duly
elected accordingly.
The Hall was then dissolved.

as an Evening Journal: it gathers within its columns,
literally speaking, every thing of interest which transpires,

by Wednesday's Post, though the battle occurred at mid-
day on Tuesday, 40 miles from London.—Pottery Ga-
zette.

paid to the " SUN" London Evening Paper. The
Sheriff of Newcastle gave as a toast—" The Proprietors of
the Sun Newspaper—a Journal of great merit, and which
had latterly made unprecedented efforts in publishing the
interesting proceedings of Parliament, &c." We are happy
to see such notice taken of our London contemporary, and
that we have it in our power to give this highly respectable
Journal the praise it so justly deserves ; " its efforts are
in fact unprecedented in the annals of the press ; it
arrives and is delivered in Manchester at five in the after-
noon, containing news of the preceding day up to Senn
