LORD mdiroms nAr.

Yestirday the new LORD MAYOR, accompanied by
Sir C. 6. hiuNITER (the term of whose civic dignity
that dap expired) several Aldermen, the Recorder,
Sheriffs, and the Court of Assistants of the Distillers'
Company, and attended by the Marshals and othei
City Officers, went in great state to Blackiriars-
, bridge, where they entered the City barge% and were
.1' owed to Westminster, whence they proceeded to the
Court of Exchequer, and, on being presented to the
Cursitor Barons,' the RECORDeR, in a neat speech,
stated, that G. SCROLEY, Esq. whom he then presen-
ted, had been chosen Lord Mayor by the City of
. London for the year ensuing. He then passed some
. high encomiums on the known virtues and abilities
• of this worthy Alderman, who, he was convinced,
'would support the rights and immunities of the City
of London in their original purity. He then pre-
sented Sir C. S. HUNTER, Bart. whose arduous task,
he said, had just expired, and, in testimony of whoie
claims to public thanks, it was only necessary to
mention the fact of his having been raised to the iz-
nity of a Baronet, as a proOf of the high estimation
in which he was held by his Sovereign.
Baron M'DoNALD addressed the new Lord Mayor
in an energetic speech, in which he dwelt first upon
the importance of the high and dignified office he had
been chosen to fill, and next upon the wisdom and
foresight it was necessary to display in the fulfilment
of the duties of that office. There were times when,
various causes existed which might create an irritabi-
lity in
,the public mind. It was of the last impor-
tance, therefore, that no means should be neglected
to guard against any infringement of the public peace,
and to preserve that order and decorum which the
well being of the State required. The worthy Baron
then commented on the atrocious murder of Mr.
Perceval, and instanced this as an Oct which, while
k reflected no disgrace on the nation at large, proved
the absolute necessity of a vigorous and watchful at-
tention on the part of the Magistracy of the country.
He concluded with paying some handsome compli-
ments to the late Lord Mayor, whose conduct had
so deservedly called forth the most honourable marks
of Royal favour.
The procession afterwards left the Court, and
proceeded to the Courts of Chancery, King's Bench,
and Common Pleas, where they were received with
• the accustomed ceremonies ; after which they re-
turned to their respective barges, and, having landed
at Blackfriars-hridge,returned in the following order :

The processiOn arrived at Guildhall about five
o'clock, and was joined by several Ministers of State,
Foreign Ambassadors, Judges, &c. who took their
seats with the LORD MAYOR on the Hustings. The
was more superbly illuminated than we ever
remember it before : in addition to the grand bal-
loon of variegated lamps, the pillars were ornamen-
ted with festoons and other beautiful devices. Over
the Lord MaEr's head stood a beautiful bust of the
Marquis of WELLINGTON, with the word " Sala-
manca,"' in large letters, composed of lamps, and
surmounted by a crown. Over the Sheriffs' Hustings,
were the words " British Navy," iniarge lettets, with
golden lamps, the Prince's feathers, &c. A cross-
table at the top, with five long tables, were Inca
beautifully ornamented with temples and other
devices. The dinner was served up in great profu-
sion. After the usual loyal toasts of ceremony, viz.
the KING, the PRINCE REGENT, the QUEEN and Fa-
roily, the City of Landon, &c. the late LORD MAYOR,
in a short speech, gave as a toast, the present LORD
bfairoa, who returned thanks in a short and neat ad-
dress ; and in return proposed as a toast the late LORD
MAYOR, who also gave thanks. When the LADY
Mavot.Ess and Ladies had withdrawn to the Lady
Mayoress' drawing-room, instead of the accustomed
mode of the chief guests retiring with the LORD
MAYOR to a parlonr, they drew round the chief table,
and the festivity was kept up for an hour or two in
the Hall.
The LORD MAYOR began by giving " his Majesty's
Ministers, who had honoured him with their presence
that day." The Earl of bIVERPOOL, who was seated
(Ketlie right hand of the late LORD MAYOR, rose and

returned thanks, and assured the company, that his
Majesty's Ministers felt it to be their duty to endea-
vour to deserve, and it was their most earnest wish to
receive the approbation of the Citizens of London.
The LORD MANOR then gave 4; Ferdinand the 7th,
and the gallant people of Spain." The Spanish
Ambassador rose and bowed to the company, and
Lord Viscount CASTLEREAGH, in his name) expressed
his sincere thanks for the honour done him. He felt
most sensibly..that. the war iu which the two nations
were so cordially engaged, was a war in vhich the
poople of Great Britain telt an interest as lively as
those of Spain. That it was not a war of the Govern-
ments, but of the nations; and that it was not merely
fo; Spain that they were fighting, but for the human
rr P. He assured the Hall that his Excellency par-
tec.peted in the feeling that had been so unequivocally
prenounced that day ; and he was confident that the
Spanish people entered fully into the sentiment that
their heart, and best connection and friendship, was
Great Britain.

" The Prince of Brazils and the Kingdom of Por-
tugal."—M. de SOUZA was not present.
" The Marquis of Wellington and the Allied
Armies of Britain, Spain, and Portugal."
" The Emperor of Russia, and Success to the R us-
sian War "—The Russian Minister made bis reve-
rence, and Lord CASTLEREAGH, in his name, expressed
his gratitude for the manner in which the Emperor,
whom he represented, had been honoured. He as-
sured the company that kis Imperial Majesty was
most firm in his resolution to withstand the invader
of his territories—that he had the most undoubted
persuasion of the loyalty and valour of his people--
and the feeling that in the coune he was pursuing he
had with him the heart and wishes not only of every
one of his own subjects but of all enlightened Europe.
His was also instructed by his Excellency to
_say,
that his Imperial Majesty was convinced that the true
and permanent interest of .his States was to maintain
a perpetual friendship and connection with Great
Britain ; and which the Noble Viscount said he hoped
would be immortal.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL begged leave to follow up
the last sentiment of the Noble Viscount's speech by
a toast—" Perpetual friendship and connection be-
tween Russia and Great Britain." _

The LORD MAYOR then gave—gi The Ottoman
Porte." The Ambassador made his bow, and Lord
CAMSREAOH returned thanks in the name of the
Sublime Porte.

4g The King of Sweden" was then given, and the
Minister also requested LordCASTLEREAGH to express
his thanks. _ _

The LORD MAYOR then gave—" The Master of
the Rolls and the Judges." Sir WILLIAM GRANT
returned thanks.
~ The Sheriffs" were also given by the Lord Mayor,
and Mr. Sheriff BLADEs in a very neat speech re-
turned thanks.

Several other toasts were given, and the whole of
the Gentlemen thus kept together till the proper time
to join the Leidies in the drawing-room, when after
paying thtir respects to the Lady Mayoress, the Mi-
nisters withdrew.

The Ball was opened by the Spanish Ambassador
and the Lord Mayor's second daughter. The coun-
try dances commenced to the tune of Lord Wellington,
which gave additional spirits to the whole company;
who did not entirely disperse till near day-light this
morning
THE LADY MAYORESS'S Mass.—The dress worn
by' the Lady Mayoress, for its elegance and simpli-
city, exceeds any thing of the kind we have observed
on a similar occasion. It consisted of a petticoat of
white satin, richly embroidered at bottom with a
deep border of grapes and vine leaves, drapery of
white crape, edged with .a fringe of Roman pearl, and
fancifully decorated with tassels of the same; robe
of crimson velvet, white satin sleeves embroidered
to correspond with the petticoat ; white satin dres3
hat, with a plume of ostrich feathers, mounted by a
most elegant ornament of diamonds; ruffles, lappets,
and scarf of Mecklin lace. Her Ladyship's two
daughters, the two Misses Scholey, appeared to have
observed the same elegant simplicity with her Lady.
ship. They wore lace dresses over white satin, with
pearl necklace, braoeleity &c. and silver sprigs in the
hair.

Friday se'nnight an Inquisition was taken at the 1
parish of Willerby, in the East Riding of York, by
Mr. BREARY, of Scarborough, one of his Majesty's
Coroners for that county, on the body Of Mary
Wains, of die age of 60 years, who was found dead
in the fields, on Wednesday evening week, in the said
parish. Verdict—Starved to death, by the royalty of
the weather.
The body of Hedges, the malster, late of Ham
ham, near Salisbury, who quitted his cottage early on
the morning of the 21st uls. in a state of delirium, and
for whom diligent search had ever since been made,
was found on Thursday last„ in the river near Harn-
ham. On Friday /vir, yirorrmautao held en Inquest
thereon, and, after a short 'investigation, the verdict •
of the Jury was—Found drowned.
A dreadful' accident took place Lately in one of the!
lead `mines at Arkengartbdale. By some. means,
wind and water got vent into a long level, and drove
the men, boys, wagons, and horses, that were in it,
for nearly a mile. '1 he shrieks of men and boys were
dr6dful ; and the roaring of the wind was louder
than the noise of the loudest thunder. The scene
may be more easily conceived than described. Three;
persons were killed on the spot ; some others are not
expected to recover; and :a great number escaped
almost miraculously.
Sunday morning, as a middle-aged man, named
Rooke, who had been employed several years at
Gifford's brew-house, in Langley-street, Long-acre,
was coming out of the parish church of St. Giles in
the Fields, he was seized with an apoplectic fit in the
church-yard, dropped down, and instantly expired.
Tuesday morning, about two o'clock, two sentinels,
at the rear of the city of Limerick jail, were fired at;
they returned the shot without effect.—lnformations
of the transaction have been lodged before the Mayor,
which go to state, that the firing came from the jail,
and that the sentinels are convinced that the attack
was from some person within its walls. The prison
was immediately searched, and although the Officers
on duty perceived in the apartment from whence the
ieport proceeded, a strong smell of gun-powder and
light coals, yet no person .could be diswered olf
whom positive proof could attach. •

LEEDS, ArOPEMBER7.

. .

Eleven persons were committed this week to York
Castle, on charges of shear-breaking, and other
offences, in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield : se-
veral others are in custody, and the police in that
district are apprehending and bringing in prisoners
daily.
Since our last were committed to York Castle, M.
Hill, John Ogden. (N 0.52) Charles Cockcroft, Geo.
Brook, James Brook, and John Brook, of Lockwood,
in the West Riding, *barged upon the oath of Wm.
Hall with having, together with divers others, as-
sembled on the night of 11th April last, at Liversedge
in the said Riding, and riotously and feloniously made
an attack upon a mill in the occupation of Wm.
Cartwright ; also Samuel Booth, George Lodge, and
George Brook, of Dalton, in the said Riding, char-
ged upon oath with assembling with &vets others at
Marsh, in Huddersfield, and feloniously entered the
workshop of Joseph Hirst, cloth-dresser, and broke
; and destroyed divers sheers, used for dressing:wool-
len cloth, the property of the said Joseph Hirst; like-
wise John Walker, Thomas Brook, and Joshua Schol-
field, cloth-dressers, charged upon the oath of Win,
Hall and Joseph Drake, with feloniously attacking
and beginning to demolish the mill of Wm. Cart-
wright, at Liversedge, in the West Riding.--Lade
Mercury.

ANOTHER MAIL ROBBERY.--On the evening of Fri-
:day se'nnight, the postman conveying the mail from
Maryport to Cockermouth was stopped within a mile
of the latter plate, and robbed of the bag of letters
from Jslaryport fer Cockermouth, and also the bag for
London, and bags of J. D. B. Dykes and J. Chris-
tian, Esq, by two footpads, who pulled him from
his horse ; and, whilst one of the villains held a pistol
to his head, with threats, the other unloosed the bags,
with which they made off. Fortunately the bags
contained nothing of consequence.
Yesterday evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, as Mr. Johnson, of Golden-square, was pas-
sing through Eagle-straet, Red Lion-square, he was
stopped and hustled by a gang of robbers, so that he
could not possibly extricate himself from them.—
There were supposed to be six or seven of them at
least, so that they completely surrounded him, and
by holding up his arms, robbed him of his gold watch,
chain, and seals.

On the 24th ult. James Milburn, of Darlington,
was found in a dying state by two shepherds, upon
the road between that town and the Arkendale Lead
Mines, near a place called Stang. The shepherds im-
mediately conveyed the unfortunate man to the near-
est house ; but ere he reached it, the spark of life
was extinguished. On examining the body, two severe
wounds were discovered upon the head, which were
doubtless the cause of his death. The deceased had,
a short time before he was found in the state above
described, called at a public-house, where he took
some refreshment, and informed a person there that
he was proceeding to the Lead Mines with a consider-
able sum of money. A coroner's inquest has been
held on the body. Verdict—Wilful Murder against
some person or persons unknown. The murderer, it
is supposed, had been disturbed by the shepherds, as
the money was found in the pockets of the deceased.
A few nights since, about eleven o'clock, Mr. E.
Davison, of Team, was attacked on Derwent Crook
Waggon-way, near Gateshead Fell, Durham, by a
person who came behind him, and knocked him down
with a bludgeon. The villain first struck him on
the shoulder, and then on the head, which he cut ;
and when qr. Davison was lying on the ground, he
again repeated his blow, on which Mr. Davison cried
out—,, Murder !" Fortunately his son was on the
road to meet him, and hearing the cries of his Lather,
ran to his assistance. The villain hearing the voice
of another person, made off without accomplishing
his purpose, being that very instant in the act of
rifling the pockets of his intended victim.
Six prisoners made their escape from Ayr jail on
Monday se'nnight.

A Bramin was accused at Bombay,. in May last,
of murdering, with others, RHAM BHANDARY, a.
wealthy Hindu°. When his accomplices were ap-
prehended he was admitted as evidence, on his of-
fering to make important disclosures; but his commu-
nications net being deemed important, the Recorder
ordered him to be brought to trial, on the authority
of Mrs. RUDD'S case, in 1 Leach, 135. It appeared
by the evidence, that there were about twenty con-
cerned in the murder, and that the Bramin visited
and questioned the deceased on his death-bed, in or-
der to ascertain the amount of the plunder. He
was found guilty.
Letters received from Bengal by the ship Baring,
mention, that the alarm created by the incursion of
the Pindarees into the districts of Merzapero, had in
a great measure subsided, as their numbers had been
nearly ascertained : instead of the herd consisting of
4 or 5,000 men, it appeared they did not amount to
more than 1,500 or 2,000 at the utmost. They had
not ventured to enter Shakabad at all—the last intel-
ligence heard of them, was their appearance at Bal-
luary, to the southward of the Soane, in full retreat.
The detachments sent by the General at Denapore to
Gyab and Orrah, had been very active; the treasure,
as a measure of precaution, had been removed from
the latter place, and the officers, with their families,
had left their bnngalows, and slept in the barracks.
A letter from an Officer in the American army
before St. Augustine's, •••-
dated August 10, says :
46 We are encamped about two miles and three quar-
ters from the city of St. Augustine, which we are
blockading, and which contains a garrison of 1,000
men. Our force is actually iaferior. We expect re-
inforcements every day, when we shall attempt first
to carry the place by escalade ' • and if we do not suc-
ceed, shall batter in breach. The females in the city
are in the proportion of seven women to one man.
The Spaniards, to harass us, have raised all the In-
dians in this quarter against us. They give us much
trouble, and occasion some alarm, as they approach
within two miles of the camp, and scalp the strag-
glers. The settlers on St. John's river have bees
compelled to quit their habitations, and take shelter
on Amelia Island."
Much attention has been excited at Norwich by the
singular circumstance of A drummer in the South
Lincoln Militia having preached to very crowded
congregations, at tie Calvert-street Chapel, in that
city. He appeared in the pulpit in his military garb.
