RIOTOUS PROCESSIONS IN
THE CITY:

The following notice has been issued by the Lord
Mayor, in relation to the recent midnight procession
through the City:—

" PIRIE, MAYOR.
" Whereas, great multitudes of idle and disorderly
persons assembled last night, and a tumultuous assem-
blage passed through the City at midnight, to the
great alarm of the peaceable inhabitants, the Lord
Mayor deems it proper to notify that all
such proceedings are illegal, and that should
any such meeting be held, or any tumultuous
proceedings whatever take place within the City, the
most determined measures will be adopted for the
preservation of the public peace, and for bringing the
offenders to justice. By order of the Lord Mayor,
" FRANCIS HOBLER.
" Mansion House, Aug. 19, 1842."

QUITE SAFE.-" Is there any danger from the
boa constrictor ?" said a visitor to a zoological show-
man. " Not the least," replied the showman, "he never
bites—he swallows his wittles whole."
SIB, R. PEEL.—A rumour prevailed here yesterday
that Sir R. Peel would arrive with the London steam-
ship at this port last night. In consequence of this re-
port, upwards of 500 persons lined the quay before the
arrival of the steamer at the entrance to the harbour.
Unfortunately, and we believe on account of the disturbed
state of Lancashire, the Right Hon. Baronet did not
make his appearance, his presence being required in
London to guide the Home Secretary by his advice. We
understand that apartments were taken for Sir Robert
and suite in an hotel in town, and that the illustrious
Leader of the House of Commons intended to have pro-
ceeded hence on a visit to Colonelßaillie, Inverness-shire.
The crowd of people on the pier, although in a. great
measure composed of the working classes, appeared pre-
pared to welcome the Premier in a spirited manner, and
all departed disappointed.—Dundaa Courier of Tuesday.
