missioner Sir ROBRRT BARLOW, in this Dock-yard on
the trial of an Anchor of 25 cwt. made on Mr.
PRIUNG'S principle, against one made in Deptford
Docklard of 26 cwt. on the old plan. The Anchors
being opposed to each other, were hove upon by two
capstans, the Deptford.made Anchor yielded with
apparent ease by breaking in the arm : Mr. PP:RING'S

took place on the I I th. On the 20th the same
Anchor was again tried against one of SI cwt. on the

yard, when the larger Anchor again yielded to the
lesser. Mr. PZRINU'a Anchor, though five hundred
less in weight, did not appear to alter its form. The
opinion given by the Anchor Smiths of the Dock-
yard is, that an Anchor of 25 cwt. made on Mr.
Prantc's principle, will be equal to one of 40 cwt.
made on the old plan.
Frna.—This morning between seven and eight
o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out at Messrs.
LANGDALE and Co.'s, distillers, Holborn, which at
first threatened the most serious consequences ; but,l
having commenced in the stable situated in the back
part of those extensive premises, by the timely at-
rival of a number of engines, the fire was con-
fined to the spot in which it made its appearance,
which was, with the coach-house adjoining. entirely
destroyed. Had it not been for the prompt assist-
ance of the firemen, or had the fire happened during
the night, the immense stock of spirits which Messrs.
LANGDALE'S have in store, would in all probability
have been consumed.
. Bantu—This day. the LORD MAYOR ordered the
price of Bread to contigee the same as last week.

M:INSIJN-NGVS'E FEZTITMES.

Yesterday, according► to annual custom, several of
the ALDERMEN, the Sinsairrs, CItAIktgeRLAIN, Rr..
couDert, TG ON CLERIC, CI ry ReXeMAIRANCIte. COMP-
TIt 'LULA, c. &c. assembled at the Mansion-House,
And aecn%n;►anied the Loin Matron in proceosi9n to
Christ church, Netvgate-street, to hear the Spitz'
Set moo, which was preached by the bishop of Ox-
t•Ot,A. The procession afterwards returned to the
MAnsion.Hotae.

The Long Marcie give hip innuAl dinner, and the
LADY Maronritt her annitil bill, at the Mansion.
Horse; which were, as usual, attended hy a gte•it
portion of the beauty, rank, and fashion c,f the Me.
tropolis. Among the diftinguislied personages Who
honoured the Loan Mayon with their presence at
dinner, were—the Duke of Somesterr, the Earl of
MovNrroßu, Earl of Buz .11) A LISA NE, Lord LYN RD NCH,
Lord NUGENT. the Dean of WaticitErrEa, Ste. in.
The company sat down, at about six. o'clock, to
a table covered with the delicacies of the season, and
on which was displayed all the Magnificence of civic
hospitality.
When the cloth was removed, 11'oe nabis Demise,
was sung in ercellent style by Messrs. Leers, &L.
LAMY. PYNR, TYRRELL. BROADHURST. and TAYLOR.
The first toast was—

" Church and King,"
which was received with considerable applause. It
was followed _ _

" The Prince Regent."
but the approbation expressed by the company did
not appear to be so strong as on yrafr occasions.
" Ibe Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family,"
I he Duke of York aml the Army,"
And, " The Duke of Clarelico and the Navy,"
were drank with repeated cheers.
The LORD MAYOR then rose and observed, that
after the above toasts, a more proper time could not
be chosen for it ceremony which would peculiarly
gustily die company present—he meant the presenta-
tion of the Ft eedom and Sword voted by the City for
the services t.f Lord LYNenocii.
The Citamertitana and other OiEcers then ascend.
ed the platform of the throve, which had been pre-
p.red at the time the Prince ReAent, the Emperor
Alexander, and the King of Prussia dined in Guild-
hall. They were followed by Lord LYNEDOCH in
full uniform, with his military decorations ; and the
usual oath of freemen, to protect the I igltt and liber-
ties of the City, was administered. The freedom, in
a gold box that had been m.tde fur the purpose, and
the splendid sword that had li..ea toted at the vane
time, were presented to the rtallant C:rneral, who,
in a short address, expressed his gratitude, and des-
claimed any further merit in tke successes that were v
thus rewarde.l, than that which helot:zed to every"
warn and zea:cos soldier in the Lritish army. He
accepted these weicom: presents, sir,t so much as re.
s arcs that he lad merited> but as towards that he
would endeavour to deserve. This speech was re.
ceived with the loudest applause.
After a vaiir:y of glees, songs, and the customary
toasts, the health of the Lord Mayor and Lady ,
Mayoress were proposed by the Duke of Sostenssr.
His Lordship expressed his pleasme at the presence
of so many dills Iriends, as well as at the honour dons
him by individuals of the highest rank, who had con.
descended to gratify the City by their presence. He
was aware th it his conduct upon recent occasions had
been much blamed, hut most undeservedly, since he
had only acted as became the important office he held.
While in this responsible situation, he would never
shrink from the duties that belonged to it, however
unwelcome they might be to others, whom he fell
generally inclined to support as the friends of the Con.
stitution. But although lie had been unfavourable
to the measure they had supported, he had always
felt the utmost disgust at the mode in which resis-
tance was attempted to be given by public distur-
bances and flagrant outrages ; and he was happy to
say that none of this misconduct had been exhibited
within the populous district over which he presided.
The opposition in the City of London had been stre-
nuous, but it had also been, as he hoped it always
would be, constitutional.
Great applause followed this address.
Lord Nunaser, after a brief and Appropriate intro-
duction, proposed•the health of the Civil Officers of
the City of London, which was received with warm
acclamations.

The Lotto MAYOR retired (the Ladies having rune
time withdrawn) at about ten o'clock, atter iltiuking
this concluding sentiment—
" Union of sentiment and union of action—the boat and safe.
guard of the "knish Luiptse."
The dancing-commenced shortly after ten o'clock.

of BADEN, and INIT.& ralttC:l{ to the
