JUSTICE AT THE MANSION-
HOUSE.

The particulars of a case of a most extraordinary cha-
racter have just been brought to light, in which a
gentleman of fortune has been placed in a most unen-
viable position. The most strenuous endeavours on
the part of the friends of, the accused have been made
in order to prevent the unfortunate exposure reaching
the eyes of the public. - It would appear that the gen-
tlme
hitherto an
accusedis
regarded as iN
r. William
highest Metcalfe, a
r e
sp
epeetrasboiiii
lity, residing in Coburne-street, Bow. That he was
in the habit of almost daily visiting the shop of Mr.
John Littlejohn, pastrycook and confectioner, ofKing William-street, City, and of purchasing a two- •
penny Bath bun. Upon all occasions his visits to the
shop were unusually tang, but up .to Saturday last, no
suspicion. .was excited. On that day, however, his object
o.fremammgbecame apparent, and he was charged with
felony. He was observed by the young woman who serves
behind Mr.' Littlejohn's counter to place his hand upon
some other buns; which he hastily secreted in his
pocket. After finishing the bun that he held in his
hand, during the time he purloined the others, he ten-
dered the shop Woman the sum of twopence, which she
refused to receive; at the same time telling him that
he had other buns in his pocket. Upon hearing this
attack upon his honesty, :the " gentleman" became ex-
ceedingly violent, and denied the allegation in the most
positive and indignant terms. The, female was not to
be deceived, and Mr. Littlejohn was called for, and to
him was relafed-.-the fact of the "gentleman"
having concealed the buns, and refused to pay
for them. Remonstrance was first resorted to by
the confectioner, but, in proportion to the leniency
of the tradesman the more manifeA became the
insolence of the accused. Mr. Metcalfe demanded to
know how Mr. Littlejohn dared to accuse a person of
his respectability of sigh disgraceful conduct, and in
order that that gentleman might receive.the satisfac-
tion he so loudly desired, a policeman was sent for.
Constable Scott, No. 448, in a few minutes arrived,
and proceeded to perform the unceremonious task of
searching the prisoner, upon whose .person he found
four Bath buns. Mr. Littlejohn immediately charged
Mr. Metcalfe with the felony, and he was forthwith
conveyed by Scott to the police station-house on
Garlick-hill. The charge was there formally entered
by the inspector on duty in the following words, as
our informant perceived by the police-book :—" 24th
September, William Metcalfe, charged with stealing
from the shop of John Littlejohn, No.• 77. King
William-street, four buns, value Bd. (Signed) John
Littlejohn." Communications were made to other
members of the family, and, amongst others, to his
son, Mr. John Metcalfe, a well-known and affluent
member of the Stock Exchange. On Sunday morning,
immediately before the hour for the commencement of
Divine service, Mr..T. Metcalfe waited upon the Lord
Mayor at the Mansion-house, and obtained a private
iaterview with his Lordship. At that interview,
some mutual friends are stated to have interposed,
and the result was, that his Lordship issued an order
to the police to liberate Mr. William Metcalfe upon
bail, to appear on the following morning at the Man-
sion-house. This arrangement was carried out about
noon on Sunday, and Mr. Littlejohn was waited upon
by some of the friends of the accused, and urged not
to prosecute, but for some time he remained inexor-
able. On Monday morning, about half an hour before
the usual hour of the Lord Mayor sitting in the public
justice-room, the prisoner, attended by his son, and a
number of friends, was conducted into a private room
before his Lordship. An outline of the case Was laid
before his Lordship; but no depositions were taken
against the prisoner. After some discussion, it was ar-
ranged that the prisoner should be discharged from the
felony, Mr. Littlejohn consenting to forego the prosecu-
tion on Mr. Metcalfe paying 51. to the poor-box. In
confirmation of this fact, the followin; note is ap-
pended to the charge recorded in the police-books.
" Ordered to pay a fine of 41. to the poor-box, 26th
September.". The prisoner was respectably attired,
and stated his age to be 69. The high respectability
of the prisoner, his high connexions, and the extraor-
dinary termination • of so serious a charge, have alike
aroused the astonishment and indignatton of all who
are more immediately acquainted with the filets. The
sessional results of the county of Middlesex repeatedly
bear evidence of destitute persons being severely
punished for stealing penny loaves, and while
" hunger" in the county is ruled to be no answer to a
felony, "respectability's in the City is declared to be
all-powerful.—Weekly Dispatch.

A. MARRIAGE, ON THE T.tris.—There is a mar-
riage " toward " which creates the greatest sensation,
both on account of the high rank of the putative bride-
groom, and still more through the exalted position of
the future bride ; this mariage d 1 eclat, which the haul
monde say is on the eve of accomplishment, is
between the most Noble the Marquis of Douglas
and her Serene Highness Princess. Mary Amelia,
daughter of the Dowager Duchess of Baden. Her
Highness is twenty-five years of rge, and she is
as beautiful as she is accomplished, inheriting the
qualities of her mother, the Princess Stephanie,
whose reputation for charms of mind and person is
proverbial throughout the Continent. The Marquis
of Douglas is thirty 'three years of age. Some objec-
tions have existed as to the marriage, on account of
the promessa being the daughter of a Sovereign Prin-
cess, but we hear that these objections had been
waved when it became known that the young Marquis
would inherit 'the triple Dukedom of Hamilton, Bran-
don, and Chatelrault. He is besides heir to the glories
of the Arrans and Douglasses, and his direct ancestor
in I. was not only chosen Regent of Scotland
unanimously, but declared by Parliament heir pre-
sumptive to the Crown, should his ward, Queen
Mary, die without issue. The Duchess Dowager of
Iladen's residence is at Manheim, and there the
Duchess of Hamilton is staying at this moment. If
this marriage take place, as confidently announced in
the highest circles, the Marquis of Douglas will
become brother-in-law to the Hereditary Prince of
Hohen Zollern Zigmarringen, and also to Prince
Wasa, son of the unfortunate deposed King of
Sweden.—Courl Journal.

INAUGURATION DINNER OF THE
SHERIFFS, OP LONDON AND MIDDLESEX.
The new Sheriff's (Alderman Hooper and Mr.
Jeremiah Pileher) gave their inauguratiou dinner On
Friday, at Vintners Hall. The entertainment, which
wit; provided and superintender by Messrs. Breach
and Bathe,. of the London Tavern, was not only
splendid, but abounded with -these comforts which are
often looked for in vain at large.banquets. Nearly
200 gentlemen sat down to dinner in the great room,
in which were the banner and armorial bearings of the
Vintners' and the Haberdashers' Comp:larks, to which
the Sheriffs respectively belong. Amongst them were
the Lord Mayor Elect, M.P., the Cursitor Baron,
M.P., the Recorder, M.P., Mr. Masterman, M.P.,
Mr. Lyall, M.P.; Aldermen Lucas, Farehrother, Sir
Peter Laurie, Magnay, John Johns*, Sir C. Ater-
shall, Thomas Wood, Sir George (Airfoil, Sir John

The Sheriffs officiated alternately aS Chairman, very
much to the satisfaction of the company.
After the loving
.cup had taken its round, and the
toasts of the Queen, the Queen
,Dowager, and Prince
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and thk other branches
of the Royal Family, and ProsperitiAle: the City of
London, had been drank with the highest honours,
Sheriff Hoopna rose to propose her Majesty's
Ministers. He observed that whomsoever her Ma-
jesty, in the exercise of the Royalt prerogative, might
he pleased to call to her councils,
such personages, in
the elevated position they occupied, were at all times
entitled to the respect and consideration of therpoun-
try, and he, therefore, felt much pleasure in proposing
the toast.—(cheers.)
Sheriff FILCHER felt high gratification proposin,
in
"(r
the health of the Lord Mayor, with whose merits the
company were so well acquainted, both in his public
and private capacity, that it became unnecessary to
use the language of description in speaking of so ex-
celrent a man.—(Cheers.)
.It was much to be regret-
ted that his Lordship was, not able to take the chair
on the occasion upon which they assembled, but the
labotir and anxiety which he had undergone, inter-
fered with the earne4 wish he had expressed to be
present. • His Lordship had, on the preceding day,
received from his • fellow-citizens, in an unannnous
vote of thanks, the strongest assurance of their estimate
of his .worth, and it •was with peculiar satisfaction the
Sheriffs reiterated the sentiment in Vintners' Hall.
Sheriff Hooeua said it was with much pleasure he
Mayor Elea. That gentleman had been before the
proposed the health of Alderman Humphery, Lord
public for several years hi the character of Sheriff,
Alderman, and Member of Parliament, and it might
lie confidently stated that in all those capacities he
had secured the esteem and confidence of his fellow-
citizens; in confirmation of which they had just con-
ferred upon him the highest distinction in their power,
by electing him to the important office of Chief Ma-
gistrate of this great city. lie (Sheriff Hooper) was
quite satisfied that if l'rovidence blessed the Lord
Mayor Elect with health
.and .strength, the various
important duties of the elevated office would be dis-
charged most effectively and satisfactorily in the en-
suing y( ar.—(Cheers.)
The Loan MAYOR ELECT returned thanks. He
deeply felt the compliment which had been just paid
to Into by the numerous and highly-respectable com-
pmy by whom he was surrounded. The honour to
which the Sheriff had alluded: so forcibly was one
which ha considered to be the greatest that could be
conferred upon any individUal, and he assured those
whose approbation he had received, that he should, by
making the most strenuous efforts in his power, show
that he was anxious to carry out their hopes and ex-
pactatienS.-(Cheers.) To please all was impossible;
but the exertions to deserve unanimous respect for
good intention should not be wanting upon his part.
and he knew would be properly appreciated by hi:
fellow-citizens. There was one thing which he should
yromise, and which he was convinced would be most
acceptable to those whose opinions ought to be re-
spected. No man should, during, his Mayoralty, be
able to guess, from the performance of his Magisterial
duties, hy what political fl..elings he was actuated.
Sheriff llooptat ►begged to propose the health of a
distinguished person, who had given the Sheriffs the
honour of his, company upon the present occasion—
" The Cursitor :Baron." The Sheriff had to return,him thanks for the very favourable
reception with,
r to fill laid upon him the
which they had met from him in the representation
of her Majesty at IVestminster, and for the kindness
,
with which he had accepted their invitation.
The CURSITOR BARON, in returning thalli:S, said
time office he had the honou
extremely pleasant duty of conveying froni the Sove-
reign time ratification of the exercise of the privi-
leges of the citizens of London, by confirming those
rights and privileges which they 'had for so many
centuries enjoyed and used, of electing from their
own body the Sheriffs of the City of London and
county of Middlesex.---(ClieerS,) All time credit he
could Claim, arose from the sincere gratification he
felt in conveying to the Sheriffs the Royal approba-
tion of the. choice of the citizens of London. Ile bad
been many years in the habit of expressing the sanc-
tion of the Sovereign
to the choice made by
the citizens of London, and had, as a matter
of course, addressed himself to individuals of all
shades and degrees of polities, but he had uniformly
come in contact with the utmost kindness and con-
sideration; lie had always found the hospitality and
the kindness of the citizens of London unchanged, and
he believed they were unchangeable.—(Cheers.) It
was with no small pride they would look back upon
the past year in reference to the transactions which
had occurred elsewhere. 'While the municipal autho•
rities were admitted to have failed in different parts
of the country in quelling the spirit of tumult and
insubordination, London,
by the admirable exercise
of its inherent powers, completely dissipated all
attempts to excite the public' and set an example
Which had the most beneficial results all over the
nation.—(Cheers.) He felt time warmest regard for
the City of London and its institutions. It would
be presumption in him to °Mir. his exertions in Par-
liament upon any occasion on which the privileges of
that great community were brought into discussion,
as the City was protected so ably by its own Mem-
bers, by its principal Law Officer, by time Lord Mayor
Elect, and others who were connected with the cor-
poration, but lie certainly should add his feeble voice
to the able talents which time City could at all times
Command to protect functions so important to the
public at large.—(Cheers.)
Sheriff Pthcitua proposed " Alderman Lucas, and
the Magistrates of the City of London." He felt real,
unaffected pleasure, in drinking the Aldermen of Lon-
don, with the venerable Alderman at their head, who
was so much beloved and respected. Of the advan-
tageous labours of the City Magistrates their fellow-
citizens were well aware. The duties which they had
to pen form, and which were of an exceedingly onerous
nature, demanded a great portion of their time and
attention, and were executed with 'inflexible impar-
tiality, and a regard for justice, in which compassion
'as a predominant ingredient.—(Cheers.)
Alderman Lucas said he was convinced his brother
Magistrates would feel with him most grateful for the
reception which the toast had met with. The Ma-
gistrates of the City of London were not without their
faults—(Laughter)—but in everything connected
deservedlvith tlithe e
approbationadministrationofof their
fellow-citizens.—
(Cheers.) It was frequently said that there were
more clever Justices in the surrounding counties. Ile
did not care for that. Time Magistrates of the City of
of his brother London luld experience and good sense to guide them,
and they had consciences too ; and so long as they
acted conscientiously, they would act rightly
itihned approbation of
himself he Mt
most - warmly the honour conferred
and judiciously.—(Cheers.) For
upon him,
slenravneyd
Ma-
gistrates couipauyhalf as well .as
deserved it.—(Cheers and laughter) Ile
knew, however, that some allowance would be made
for a man on the wrong side of eighty.—(Loud
cheers.) Ile could assure those who had just cheered
him that his heart was in the right place, and it was
his highest pride that he had lived and would die 101
honest Englishman.—(Cheers.)
Sir PETER LAURIE rose and said, be had been re
quested to propose the princirl toast of the evening,—
" The health of the Sheritfi. —(Cheers.) That most
pleasing duty devolved, according to custom, to the
Lord Mayor Elect, but his Honourable Friend hav-
ing already addressed the company on a very interest-
ing topic, complimented loom with the office of eitllirl;~
the attention of the company to the two gentlemen
who presided and lie willingly obeyed the command
of one whom he was happy to .see in great authority.
It was quite a delightful task to present theaunnes..of
two such sensible, upright, and honourable men to time
notice of the company.—(Cheers.) Alderman Hooper
had long been in the Common Council, and was greatly
respected there, and so highly was he esteemed by his
own ward, that he was unanimously elected Alderman
by its constituency. He (Sir Peter Laurie) had had
