ELECTION OF TRUSTEES OF THE HARBOUR.

We have this week to record one of the most
gratifying pieces of local intelligence it has ever
been in our power to communicate to the public.
Our readers will perceive by the following ac-
count of the state of the poll, that the election
for 14 Trustees has terminated most triumphantly
in favour of the Independent Interest :

Thomas Hartley 197 Henry Fisher
' Jose; b Bell 197 Lord Lowther
Milbam Hartley 196 Edwald Johnston, sen.
Henry Birley 194 John Steward
John Harrison i 94 Henry Jefferson
John Brocklebank, jun. 164 John Ponsonby

William Bowes

Richard Armitsteaa SK

Edward Johnston, jun. 159
John Brocklebanh, sett. 159

Geeirge Nilller, jun.

The first fourteen persons on this list were the
candidates proposed by the Independent Inte-
rest, and were of course declared duly elected—
the following nine were proposed by the Low-
ther Interest ; and the three last named gentle-
men attached to the Independent Interest were
not proposed at all.
'rile list shews that the spirit of independence_
has spread itself so rapidly in this town that the
popular nominees have been elected by a majo-
rity of four to one over the other nominees, in
the teeth of the whole influence of the House
of Lowther.

THE THEATRE.-A Comedy in three acts, en-
titled, Exchange no Robbery, or The Diamond
Ring, was brought forward on Saturday last at the.
Haymarket Theatre. This Comedy is obviously
founded on another, entitled, He would be a Sol-
dier, written by the late Mr. PILLON, and which
first introduced Mr. FAwcErr on the London
Stage. The play of Saturday night in its fable
turns upon the imposition of Sam Swipes (LasToN)
the son of an Alehouse Keeper named Swipes (IV IL..
LiAms) upon Sir Christopher Granberry (TERRY)
an old Baronet who had been married clandes-
tinely in early life, and from family masons had.
placed the issue of that marriage, Capt. Little-
worth (BARNARD) with Swipes before he went to
India, where he acquires a large fortune. Young'
Cranberry had been so ill-treated by Swipes,
that he left him, and went to sea. His sup-
posed father cares nothing for his fate, but
being under great pecuniary obligations to Si;
Christopher passes off his looby son Sam on the
Baronet, as the offspring of the latter. After
many ludicrous scenes, arising from the boorish
vulgarity of Sam, and the misery of the Baronet
in having such a son, the imposition is discovered,
and. Sir Christopher finds in Littlezeorth a
noble-minded lleir, in all respects a - con-
trast to the brute that had been obtruded
on him. There is of course, according to dra-;
matic prescription, a Pair of Lovers in Little=
worth and Charlotte Melrose (Miss LEIGH)
a ward of Sir Christopher, who are, as usual,
made happy in marriage. This piece which
was well acted throughout is certainly wild and.
extravagant, but very diverting and not devoid
of interest in the serious parts. it is the avowed
production of Mr. THEODORtEIIOOK, well known
for lively talents and entertaining powers, in
private life. The piece was throughout very
much applauded, and 'announced for repetition
with universal and hearty asses►t.

Wheat was rather small today from Essex, Kent, arid Suf-
folk, which. however, met very heavy sale, at a reduction
of 2s. per quarter. Owing to the continual] ce Of fine weather

FROM THE MORNINV PAPERS.

[Morning .Past.]

The :House of Peers re-assemble to-morrow ;
tud on Thumlay their Lordships will proceed.
to the examination ,of tlie witnesses against the
Queen. ~Most of the Judges will be present;
and her Majesty', we are assured, persists in her
extraordinary determination of attending daily
in the house to hear the evidence against her!!
The examination of the witnesses in support of
tile charges will commence every morning at ten
o'clock and continue till three in the afternoon;
:.nd is expected to last eight or nine days. The
Queen will then have whatever delay she may
require, to prepare her defence and procure wit-
nesses but it is not expected that much time.
. will be required, for the latter purpose, as most
of the persons intended to be called are already
on their way .to this country. The whole of the
proceedings in both Houses are therefore ex-
pected to be terminated before the end of Sep-
tember. As the public peace is so seriously me=
raced on this o:-casion, Government have naturally
had reconve
,to the necessary measures of pre-
caution to frustrate the' diabolical revolutionary
views of the disaffected. Orders have been issued
for all the Police Magistrates and officers to be
on.duty ; and an immense number of special con-
stables will be sworn in. The military will very
properly be on the alert, and parties of horse and
foot will be stationed in different parts of the
Metropolis. The Volunteer Cavalry will also be
ready to act in case- of necessity. The River
Fencibles, as we have already stated, will be on
.duty. The police tender, generally stationed
beVreen Blackfriars and IVestminster Bridges,
has,been removed to the station assigned her in
front of Palace-yard ; she will be occupi,•' by
the Thames police, who are to be called intoac-
tisity, in union with. the rest of the police of the
metropoliS.. Three gun=boats will be placed neat
her, as a guard to keep' off all boats from ap.:'
proaching Cotton-yard without special permis•
sion. It is reported in themilitary circles that
four camps are about to be' formed ; the two con:.
sisting of the greatest number of troops are to be,
the one on Hounslow-heath, and the other on
Black-heath. Almost every town and village at
-fr:Oin ten to fifteen .miles round the metropolis
has at this time parties of the Military, horse and
.loot, quartered at the several inns and public.:
houses:

[Morning Chronicle.]

Her Majesty's Legal Advisers will now have
daily consultations upon the subject of her de-
fence. It is anticipated that they will permit
the examination of the witnesses for the Crown
to bp concluded in chief, before they enter upon
their cross-examination. The witnesses will
afterwards, be re-called on, the defence.—A ridi7
calous apprehension it seems was entertained by
so persons-, that an attempt might be made to
carp' off the. Queen by water from Brandenburgh
House, to elude the inquiry—and this was men-
tioned .to her -.Majosty,with such apparent prOba-
bilkty., that though she treated it with indifference,
y,:t a number of young m9u undertook to watch:
± house every night. Nothing could be more
couLemptible than such a suspicion. This is.not
the country for such exploits
