LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, I:;29.

COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held.

BAD MEAT.

Mr. DUNSBY presented a memorial from certain
parishioners of the ward of Farlinglon-within, stat-
ing, that after having made inquiry as to whether
the carcases of th,ordered cattle were in the habit
of being sold at Newgate-market, he had found that
such practice did exist, and that the bad meat was
chiefly purchased by makers of polonies and sausages.
The memorialists prayed the Court to adopt such
measures as it might think expedient for the protec-
tion of the public. _ _

The memorial was ordered to be referred to the
Committee of City Lands.

PARLIAMENTARY RETURNS.

Mr. FAVELL presented a petition from Mr. Mar-
shall, of Northampton-place, City-road, setting forth
that he had been occupied in preparing a digest of
all the accounts laid before Parliament from the be-
ginning of the war in 173, up to the present time,
the expellee of procuring which had been to the
country upwards of 2,000,0001. The digest would
present an abstract of all the great transactions of
the country, and would manifest the entire re-
sources of the country. The work was patronized
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master of
the Mint, the Board of Admiralty, &c., who had
each ordered a number of copies. Copies had also
been ordered by several distinguished Members of
both Houses of Parliament, but still the subscrip-
tions were very inadequate to the expence of pub-
lishing the work. Under these circumstances, the
Petitioner submitted it to the consideration of the
city of London, the centre of all financial opera-
tions in the world, as well deserving its support and
patronage.
. . . .

Mr. FAVELL supported the prayer of the petition,
and it was referred to the Library Committee.

Reports from the Officers and elerks' Committee
respecting the offices of clerk of the peace, and re-
gistrar to thb Mayor's Court, vacant by the decease
of the late Thomas Shelton, Esq., Nv cre read, and
ordered to be printed.

WEYMOUTH, AUGUST 5.

Lord Yarborough, as Commodore of the Royal
Yacht Club, has arranged for the whole ilea to ren-
dezvous in our Bay,previoms to their complimentary
excursion to the French coast.

If any thing can add interest to the numerous
local advantages incident to this beautiful bay, the
preference of the Noble Commodore must form the
ne plus ultra of attraction, which will be the more
effective, as occurring at the period of our Regatta
(21st and 22d August), of which Joseph Weld,
Esq.. is Steward this year, and who evinces the
imolt intense anxiety in promoting an object ever
peculiarly interesting to him ; being one of the
oldest Members of the Royal Yacht Club, he has
doubtless been instrumental in inducing this arrange-
ment. Our numerous visiters and the neighbouring
gentry, who are fond of aquatic amusements, will
enjoy the gratifying but rare opportunity of witness-
ing at once the finest display of scientific marine
mechanism and naval tactics which this or any coun-
try can boast of.

We anticipate that our Races, which are fixed for
the 3d and 4th•of September, will this season be
proditttive of most excellent sport, at least equal,
if not superior, to any in the West of England : if
the materiel be any criterion, it is most propitious,
the King's Plate of 100 guineas, the Gordon Plate
of 50 sovs., the Members' Plate of 50 sovs:, and
the Mayor's Plate of 50 sovs., being to be run for
on the first day, besides the Tradesmen's Plate of
60 sovs., &c., on the second day.

Among our late numerous arrivals is Joseph Gui-
ston, Esq., R. Y. C., whose yacht Nelson brought
up in our roads on Wednesday Morning last, since
which Mr. Gulston has entertained Mr. and Mrs.
Buxton and a select party at dinner, and the follow-
ing day gave a dejeuner a la
.fourchelle to all the
beauty and fashion of Weymouth ; among whom we
noticed Lady and Miss Ford. Lady and the Misses
Thomas, and a party of Officers of that distin-
guished Regiment the 6th Dragoon GuardA. The
ices and fruits, including a profusion of hot-house
grapes, were furnished by Norton.
