LONDON:
FBID a MORNING. SEPTEMBER 30, 1842.

The election of Lord Mayor took place yes-
terday. Mr. T. WOOD was excluded, and Mr.
Alderman HUMPHERY is Lord Mayor. Last
year there was a fierce contest for the
Mayoralty, and Mr. HARMER was rejected. In
bis case a poll was demanded, and the Livery
returned his opponent. This year there has been
no contest for the Mayoralty, but Mr. Alderman
T. Woon, after being elected in Common Hall,
has been set aside by the Aldermen. In both
cases the Alderman in rotation is set aside—in
the one it is the act of the Livery, in the other
that of the Aldermen. If the Livery should be
displeased that their present decision is not con-
firmed, they must remember that, last year,
they violated the principle of rotation, and
slighted a gentleman by withholding an honour
that was fairly his due.

Although it was supposed that the Court of
Aldermen was not favourable to Mr. HARMER,
it did not openly interfere in the election. The
Church party opposed him, a part of the Press
assailed him, and the Livery were induced to
reject him. This year the Court of Aldermen
seems to have decided the whole matter. There
the charge was made against Mr. Alderman T.
WooD, there a full investigation was declined,
and by that Court. after the Livery had elected
him, was he rejected. The cases, then, are essen-
tially different, but betwixt them there is oue
similarity.

Both individuals were rejected in consequence
of whisperings against their characters. Mr.
HARMER was rejected on account of the religious
opinions of his paper : Mr. Alderman T. WOOD
is cast out on account of imputations on his moral
character; at least we know no other reason,
for his alleged want of wealth is an idle pretext.
Both 'were below the standard of City purity, and
not thought worthy to fill the civic chair.
Oa that ground these two gentlemen were kept
out. of the Mayoralty, and we may expect every
succeeding year a more rigorous scrutiny into the
life and conduct of every candidate for the
Mayoralty. A kind of inquisition was brought
to bear against Mr. HARMER; it is now brought
to bear on Mr. Alderman T. WOOD, and will be
brought to bear on any other candidate for the
Mayoralty. A new criterion of civic worth is set
up, That a man has served his fellow-citizens
as Sheriff ar►d Magistrate will avail him nothing,
unless his private conduct be agreeable to the
Purists. The election to the civic chair, to the
great delight, we presume, of all young Alder-
men, will henceforth be determined by an inqui-
sition into private character.
How the Livery may like the conduct of the
Aldermen we pretend not to say. The Court
has, however, to some extent, usurped the func-
tions of the Livery. It decided, before the elec-
tion, against Mr. Alderman T. WooD, and re-

0 VER-POPULATION.

The attention of the whole country is at this mo-
ment fixed upon the question of "What remedies can
be proposed for the existing distress and difficulties in
our manufacturing and mining districts We
know that some would extend the inquiry to all
classes of the community, and would also include
those which are agricultural, trading, and commer-
cial.. To this we have no objection, since all are
suffering more or less, from a great variety of
causes. Amongst other' reasons assigned for the.
present state of depression, is the vast increase
of our population; but instead of meeting that
fact by recommendations of emigration an co-
lonization, both home and fok-eigii' there are
multitudes of persons who are for adopting
legal and penal checks against what are termed " im-
prudent marriages" among the working classes.
Now, whilst we. hold that he who. marries without
the fair prospect of being able to maintain his wife
and children by his honest, or by their conjoint
honest industry, in that situation or class of life in
which they are placed by the providence of Cod, is a
bad and worthless member of society; yet we do
insist that " the increase of mankind is a blessing,"
and that the whole question of marriage must and
ought to be left to the consciences and convictions of
the contracting parties. We desire no premiums to
be offered to the poor man to induce him to marry;
and we protest against any other than moral
persuasion and influence to induce him not to
marry ; and then only provided his health, age, de-
pressed career and business, or other causes clearly
point out that it would be immoral for him to con-
tract an alliance, which must, if consummated, entail
great and permanent-misery upon others. We confess
we are not amongst those who believe that checks to
population on an extensive and national scale are ne-
cessary. We do not believe that mankind are likely to
increase beyond the limits of the food which the earth
is capable of yielding. And in this opinion we are
confirmed, when we look around us on the many tracts
still uncultivated in our own very thickly-peopled
country ; but, above all, when we reflect on the ex-
tensive and fertile countries at present little peopled,
or wholly unpeopled. If also we reflect on how much
better the ground might be cultivated, in almost every
spot that can be named, and what progress is daily
being made in the science of agriculture, we cannot
but arrive at the conclusion that whatever may be
.apprehended for the remote future, the earth does nut
at present contain on its surface one-fourth of the
number of individuals it is capable` of maintaining in
plenty and comfort.—Church and Stale Gazette.

How grand a subject for historical fiction is that of
the memorable career of Richard Savage ! Bad his
parentage been less remarkable than it was (and this
alone 'was a romance), his subsequent life and actions
and strange vicissitudes were sufficient to furnish out
a story more powerful and more various in effect than
can be found in the record of any other human being.
" Born," says Dr. Johnson, " with a legal claim to
'A
honour and to affluence, he was, in two months,
gitimated by Parliament. and disowned by his
mother, doomed to poverty and obscurity, and tunched
upon the ocean of life, only that he migl-.c be swal-
lowed by its quicksands,, or dashed upon,lts rocks."
By an audacious falsehood on the put of his mother
he was defrauded of a handsome pro-vision for life.;
and the same unnatural parent eno.eavoured to have
him forcibly and secretly conveyed to the -American
plantations, where he would have become a hopeless
slave ! Surely these and a hundred otb:r circum-
stances equally startling, render the history of aichard
Savage one more than ordinarily fitted to the pur-
poses of the novelist ; and no one could have turned
them to better account than Mr. Charles Whitehead,
a writer who " sways the moods of passion e'en as he
lists."

SPAIN.

Mme, SEPT. 20.—The union of the offices of
Inspector of Infantry and of Provincial Militias,
spoken of here for some time back as likely to take
place, has at length been effected, and officially an-
nounced in the Gazette of this morning. The united
office of Inspector-General of both branches of the
army is in future to be held by General Linage, who
before exercised that of Provincial Militias only. The
duties are most important. The great satisfaction
given by General Linage in his former capacity, is a
sufficient security of his being equally efficient in his
new situation. He is an excellent man of business.
The petitions and claims of the humblest soldier in
the army are immediately attended to and dispatched
by him.
The inhabitants of the island of Cuba would seem
to have gained little by the removal of Mr. Turnbull
from the Consulship of that place. The Corres-
sponsal of this evening describes him, on the faith of
in the following terms :—" Every
a correspondent,
day the situation of the island of Cuba would appear
to be growing worse. The celebrated ex-Consul
Turnbull has installed himself in the Ponton in the
harbour ; and from thence, as from a sanctuary, con-
tinues his feats, writing to the authorities, and alarm-
ing the pacific inhabitants with new threats and fears."
The Corresponsal then goes on to describe English-
men and English philanthropy. The good-natured
and correct touches of the pencil of the Corresponsal
are worth the copying. " Often," it says, " have we
called the attention of the Government towards that
precious gem (the Island of Cuba) so covetted by
foreigners, but more particularly by those avaricious
islanders (the English), who have had their eyes
fixed upon it for upwards of half a century, and who
have been trying every means to gain a footing there.
That cursed slave-treaty was the first means they
tried for this purpose, under pretext of excessive phi-
lanthropy. The philanthropy of the English, indeed!
—those egotists par excellence—the notion of self-
interest and avarice, which sacrifices everything to its
own ends !" This, you will recollect, is written in
a journal particularly addicted to sermonising upon
public morals, and high church politics. Its illustra-
tions of the dogma of Christian freedom, and of the
Commandment about slander are excellent.

COURT CIRCULAR.

Wnipsoa, TiruasDAY.—The Queen and Prince
Albert took their usual early walk this morning in
the Home Park and Slopes.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and
the Princess Royal. accompanied by the Dowager
Lady Lyttelton, were taken art airing in the fore-
noon. Again in the afternoon the Prince and Prin-
cess, were taken out, attended by her Ladyship.
The Earl of Lincoln and the Hon. Miss Paget
took their departure from the Castle this morning.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended
by Lady Charlotte Dundas, will join the Royal dinner
circle at the Castle this evening.
The Hon. Miss Hamilton arrived to-day at the
Castle, to succeed the Hon. Miss Paget as one of the
Maids of Honour in Waiting on her Majesty.

His Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of
Mecklenburg Strelitz arrived in town yesterday, and
visited the National Gallery. The Keeper attended
his Serene Highness, during his inspection of the
collection of pictures. The Prince afterwards visited
his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, at
his residence in St. James's Palace.
Mr. Mayers, agent for Barbadoes, had an interview
with Lord Stanley yesterday, at the Colonial-office.
Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister,
transacted business yesterday at the oreign-office.
Dispatches were sent off last evening, from the
Colonial-office, for the Governor of the Gambia, and
also for the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope.

ST. LUTCIS PARISH.—The contested election of a
Vestry Clerk fort. Luke's parish was brought to a
close yesterday afternoon. The candidates were, AL-.
Wm. Humphreys son of Mr. Humphreys the solici-
tor ; and Mr. John Parsons, son of Capt. John Par-
sons, R.N., and junior partner in the legal firm of
Messrs. Burchell and Co. The numbers at the close
of the poll were stated to be—for Parsons, 530;
Humphreys, 295 ; majority, 235. The salary, which
had previously been 4001., has been increased to 5001.,
and bonds for the faithful discharge of the duties taken
to the amount of 3,0001., being 1,0001. more than the
sureties given on the . part of the late Clerk, Joseph
Burton, who absconded some time since with 3,0001.
and upwards of the parish money, and is now sup-
posed to be in America. That person had contrived
to unite in himself the previously distinct offices of
Vestry Clerk and Cleric to the Trustees, after some
default in the office of the latter, and thus, with an
addition to his salary, he acquired a greater facility of
effecting his extensive forgeri,!s, which it is clear had
.
been fbr a considerable time contemplated by him for
'
in furnishing to the bankers the list of Trustees em-
powered to draw upon them after Easter, he intro
duced three fictitious names, and made use of these
names only in drawing his forged cheques. The two
clerkshirs are to be again separated.
The earl of Fingal and other fashionables arrived
here, yesterday morning, by the Antwerp Company's
steam -ship Antwerpen, Captain Jackson. The pas-
sage to the St. Katharine Wharf, Tower, was made
in twenty hours, notwithstanding the gale of wind
during the night.

manufactures of the country.
Chisenhall and Wolstencroft pleaded guilty, and
the rest not guilty.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty.
They were sentenced to be imprisoned for eighteen
months, and, at the expiration of that time, enter into
sureties, themselves in 251., and two others in 501.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to reply in the
case of Dyson and others, which was left unfinished
on 'Wednesday, after which, the Judge recapitulated
the evidence, and the Jury retired to consider of their
verdict. They returned in a short time with a ver-
dict of Guilty against all the prisoners.
Lord ABINGER in passing sentence, said, Thomas
Dyson had pleaded guilty, and the Jury had found
the remainder guilty of the charge alleged against
them, which'was that of conspiracy, which appeared to

GRAND. ROWING MATCH.
(THIS DAY.)
The long pending matefi, for 100 Solis., between
Robert Coombs, of Vauxhall, and Robert Newell;
of Battle-bridge stairs, came off this morning. These
men about six weeks ago contested for the same sum,
when, owing to the roughness of the weather, an accident
occurred to Newell off Wandsworth, his boat get-
ting. swamped, and himself narrowly escaping
by jumping into his cutter, when he was a
hundred yards a-head of Coombs, who was
awarded the money. A second contest was made to
row for fifty aside, and that it should be from West-
minster-bridge to Putney-bridge, with the tide, and
start from either place at the, option of Coombs.
This morning, at ten o'clock, it was agreed that the
starting-point should be Westminster-bridge. At hal
past 10 they took their stations ; bets were in favour of
Newell, and the toss for stations was also in his favour.
Newell took the outside, and his opponent the Middle-
sex
shore. They went off in good syle and continued
nearly equal, up to Millbank, when it became evident
that Coombs was gaining slightly a-head of his adver-
sary, who was, it appeared, loosing his confidence, as
he appeared to row rather wildly. Coombs, how-
ever, still kept to his work, and succeeded in going
through Vauxhall Bridge about a boat's length a
htad, and continued to gain gradually upon his ad-
versary. On arriving at Battersea-bridge, Coombe
was, at least, eight boats' length in front of Newell,
and ultimately came in first at Putney, being the win-
ning man by some minutes. Newell, upon his coming
in, seemed very distressed and to suffer much in his
right arm.- The match, considering the' time of the
year, was well attended.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER It, 1842.

tain inviolate the supremacy of the Crown, and th
permanent connexion of Canada as an integral portion
of the British empire—your energetic labours in pro-
moting immigration—and especially your exertions
in upholding the financial credit of the' province, and
thereby leading to the investment in Canada of Bri
tish capital, are. benefits so substantial, as to demand
not only from us, but from the whole province, an ex-
pression of the warmest gratitude and approbation.
" From the tried experience which we hate had of
your activity, and devotion to the interests of the
colony, we rely with confidence, that nothing on your
part will be wanting to carry into speedy and prac-
tical effect the plans which, in concert with our friends
in England, you have so auspiciously formed.
" Whilst thus offering to you on public grounds
our congratulations on the occasion of your visit to
the 11Iother-Country, and.of your safe return amongst
us, we cannot refrain from joining with you in the
feelings of satisfaction which that visit must have in-
spired in your mind. We well know that no loyal
colonist can contemplate for the first time the gran-
deur of Great Britain, whether it be, the proud do•
mains of England, the vales of Ireland, or the blue
mountains of Scotland, the land of your brave, ances-
tors without feeling his heart swell within him with
pride, that he is the subject of an empire on which
the sun never sets, and whose meteor flag, wherever
it floats on the breeze, is the emblem of Christian
hope, and of all the blessings of well regulated freedom.
" We will not longer detain you, Sir, with this very
imperfect expression of our feelings on the present
oecation, but will conclude by conveying to you our
warmest assurances of the respect which we entertain
for your person and character, and by our prayer
that you may be long spared to the colony, and to
enjoy in the bosom of your amiable family all the
blessings of domestic life."
After a few complimentary remarks to Mr. Gunn,
Sir Allan spoke as follows

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
GUILDHALL.

Georte Allen was placed at the bar before Sir
Chapman Marshall, on a charge of having attempted
unlawfully to introduce a quantity of spirits into
Whitecross-street prison.
It appeared from the statement of the turnkey that
the defendant came to the prison yesterday morning,
seemingly for the purpose of visiting some of the.
inmates ; but the turnkey, suspecting that he had
been employed to convey in spirits, stopped him, and
found in his hat a bladder full of whiskey. On fur-
ther searching him, a tin flask, containing gin, was
found concealed under his clothes. The flask was
placed along the defendant's back ; he was a person of
a long and slight figure, and it was evident that the
vessel had been made for the purpose to whi:ll he
had applied it. He had been in the habit for some
time past of coming to the prison.
The defendant was then sentenced to the lowest
penalty which the law allowed—a fine of 101., or one
month's imprisonment.
A SOBER CHRISTMAS.-01.1t of a list of twenty-
three cases on the police-sheet this morning, two
parties only were charged with being "drunk and
disorderly.'
