We are greatly concerned to state, that the cosibi.
nation amongst the Seamen at Newcastle and the
neighbouring ports assumes a more alarming aspect.
There is now a complete chain of boats thrown across
the river Tyne, and no vessel is allowed to proceed to
sea without a regular permit; when this is obtained
from the Committee of those tefractory Seamen, three
boats are then unchained, and the ship proceeds on
her voyage.—The following is an exact copy of the
Permit. It is a printed form, with Wanks for the ves-
sel's name, &c. The clear in Italics are written
" Permit the Thanes, Captain Ma. Morris, belonging to the
Port of &arks', and !maid to tUt Port of Laudon, Se pow! (as

not to submit to any terms but what they have for-
merly proposed.

The woods attached to the dotation of the Print,

POETRY.

The following Words, written by THOMAS Moons, Leader of
the Band of the 71st or Glasgow Regiment, are sung and played
to the Tune of " Langolee," at many Panics lu Paris :

Old Europe bad huddled her grey beads together,
To patch up a ec..ce, being tagg'd with long War,
'When an upstart Usurper, who studied the weather,
Tu briniait • it Wort I with his schemes upon Par.
From the bland of Elba ignobly escaping,
This Corsican elf, with a mouth widely gaping,
With grimace and fraud lie an Emperor spring,
Seduced the French Nation with—Langtolee !
1 hr Plunderer of Europe, with puff'd Proclamations,
Soon rais'd him an army to !suit a bad cause;
The es:it:lice of jells and the dregs of all nations,
Like thousands of vermin, put forward their claws.
By this Murd'rer elect they were plung'il into battle,
Amidst that dread conflict, when weapons did rattle,
. His steel'el cuirassiers were eapsied front their saddles,
While Watirloo echoed with—Lae golee !

Our bold British heroes, in square, line, or column,
sAralk'd-over the French where they dar'd to appear,
And Scotia or Erin, their deeds claim a volume,
To rei;urd to Europe the weight of their b10..v.!!!
Midst carnage and blood, they were ever found steady,
Their squares never broken, their dread bayonet• ready,
Front our cannon red liAtning french Lagles struck giddy,
Lay crouch'd to the•thunder of —Langulee !
Then ruuze, and let loose the great 'f huilleries fountains,
And bid them. spout wire to the clear ambient air,
Proclaiming our deeds from the Pyrennes Mountains
To Paris! where proudly our standard we rear! !!
ALrY ANDER and FRANCIS—by Glory recorded,
And BLUCHER, whose aid was so timely afforded;
And WELLING') ON's suns, with bright laurels rewarded,
Huzza! conquerir•g Britons for—Langolee!

GOLF CLus.—Since the acquittal of poor Wilson,
the Golf Cinb have appealed upon Blackheath ih high
spirits. On Wilson's arrest -these Gentlemen were
eettainly under some considerable degree elf alarm,
fearing that they also might be prevented from
walling over the Heath, in pursuit of their favourite
ine. In England sof is hut partially known ; id
Scotland it is the national game. The exercise is
elegant and manly, and is highly cone!ncive to health;
nor is the game too severe—it is suited to age as well
as youth. In that country it is not uncommon to
see Gentlemen who have lived nearly a century wield

the club, and with astonishing correctness acct the
ball towards the goal, At 131.1ckheath (where a good
dinner, at the Green Man Tavern, and a cheerful

slash, accompanied with ,4 Auld long sre," and other
favoutite songs of Scotland) sever4l of the players
are to be found in their places, who have long passed.

Mott to taste the Eau Medicinal —" Give physic to the
dogs," would be as appropriate motto for this mercy
club.

Notwithstanding the comments which hate been
made on the harshness with which Wetsoo was treated
by the limbs of the law, it cannot be denied that a good
Cox:table proved to be his best friend.
PLDESTRIANIt'II. —A crow! of amateurs was at-
tracted to Snaresbrook on Monday last, to witness
the pending race of 100 yards for 100 guineas, be-
tween Mr. F. and Mr. W. two Gunlernen well-
known on the Royal Exchange. This match had
excited a great sensation in the City, from the well-
known speed of the parties, and many were deeply
interested in iz. In consequence of Mr. W.'s having
had, on Sunday, a fall from the dickey of his car-
riage, by which his right heel received a shock, the
odds at starting were two to one against him ;—he,
how‘ver, won in fine style, by four to five yards.—
opinion on the ground wa's, that nut one man in
England Can beat Mr. W. WO yards.
Thu Tune.—The speed of Fibs da Put° is thought
to be greater than that of any horse since the days of
Eclipse: In the contest at Doncaster he passed Al-
tisidora with great ease, and came in quite undis-
txessed. He is sold to Mr. HAMMY'', of Man-
chester, tor 3000 guineas ; but as his speed is known,
and he has already won ail the great stakes, Sir W.
MAXWELL is o:ought to have niade a good bargain.
At the next Newmarket Houghton Meeting, Lord
Rous's T►gris is matched against Mr. L.ttce'•s Casta-
net, t: r 200 guinea's, h. fr.
Lord FOLEY'S horse Selim is matched against Mr.
DALY'S O.►k Stick, at the first Spring Meeting, 1316,
for 1000 guineas, Mr DALY having the option to
pay 100 gs. ft. by the Ist of .Tanuary.
At the sale of the stud of the late J. D. LasinTost,
Esq. the celebrated horse Biddick, was sold to Col.).
nel WHALEY, for 320 guineas. 'rl►e smalin':ss of
price is attributed to the numerous sales of horses
during the Doncaster race week.
The Mellerstain fox-hounds will remain in Nor-
thumberland for a fortnight, atter which they will
return home, and hunt in the neighbourhood of
Kelso during the race week.
Tin NISW TRANSPIItT OFFICEeTiiiS building, in
Cannon.row, proceeds with great rapidity. The
construction of the edifice is upon a solid end com-
modious plan, well calculated for the management of
extensive public business Both fronts are faced
with stone, but without any profuse or extravagant
ornaments.

The Commissioners under the new Street Act are
quickly carrying into effect one part of their duty--
they are pulling down, between Carlton 1-louse and
Portland-plaoe, an extensive range of buildings ;
the only appearance of filling up the vacuum thereby
created, which has, as yet, been manifested, is at the
King'i Theatre, where a front, corresponding with
that in the Haymarket, has been rapidly thrown up
at the Pall-mall side.

COMMON HALL.

Yesterday a Common Hall was held, for the pars
posy of electing a Sheriff for the ensuing year, in the
room of Wst. Late is, Esq. who had been returned
with THOMAS BELL, Esq. but declined serving the
office, and paid the usual fine.
The COMMON SERJEANT (in the absence of the Re.
corder) addressed the Livery, and stated briefly the
purpose for which it was assembled. He observed,
that it was not a little remarkable, that at such an
advanced period the City of London had not suc-
ceeded in procuring Gentlemen willing to undertake
the high but arduous office of Sheriff. 'f he disap-
pointment, however, was not attributable to the Li-
very, as several of the most respectable, as well ,as
competent individuals, had been nominated and re-
turned to fill that situation. These gentlemen, from
a variety of causes, had declined entering upon the du-
ties of the appointment, and had subjected themselves
in consequence to the usual tines imposed by the City
for non-service. It was but justice, however, to state,
that the excuses made by the persons so returned ap-
peared satisfactory ; many of them declining under
an apprehension that their health would not keep
pace with the unceasing duties of their office, others
from the circumstance of their residing at a consider-
able distance from the metropolis. One Gentleman
(Mr. Bell), however, had been returned, who had
declared his' willingness to serve, and he had no
doubt that the choice of the Livery, in ta..is instance,
would be amply satisfied. To elect a colleague with
M:. Bell, was the purpose for which they were now
assembled, and lie trusted that their nomination
would prove equally creditable and successful as it
had been in returning that gentleman.
Mr. then came forward, and shortly ad-
dressed the Meeting. Fle said he was happy in an-
nouncing, that, notwithstanding the almost unprece-
dented delay that had taken place in providing two eli-
gible persons to serve the high office of Sheriffs of the
City of London, he had now to propose to them the
name of a gentleman equally distinguished tor cha-
racter and respectability. The individual to whom
he alluded was not alone eligible by independence for
the exalted station to which he should have the ho.
nour to recommend him, but he was also in the vi-
gour of health, and what was also still more satis-
factory, had already declared, that should he be
placed by the Livery of London in the high office ef
Sheriff, he would cheerfully perform its duties, with
zeal, and to the utmost of his abilities.—Mr. Slade
concluded by proposing to the Livery the name of
John Thomas Thorp, }.sq. Citizen and Draper, as a
tit and proper person to fill the office of Sheriff of the
City of London and County of Middlesex for the en-
suing year.—(Loud amleura.)
Mr. TADDY seconded the proposal.
The names of the several persons who had before
been nominated were then read over, and proposed
in the mud form ; when the name a Mr. Thorp
being also proposed, he was returned unanimously by
the Livery, amidst loud applauses.
The COMSION SInIJEANT then declared Thomas
Bell and John Thomas Thorp, Esquires, to be duly
elected.

The latter Gentleman came forward to offer his
thanks for the distinguished honour that had been
conferred upon him by the unanimous voice of the
Livery. it was useless for him to occupy the time
of the Meeting by any observations with respect to
the dignity of the office to which be had been so ho.
nourably appointed; the grateful sense of their elec-
tion, however, and the confidence which had thus
been reposed in him, would be indelibly fixed on his
mind; and he trusted that, notwithstanding the want
of experience of which he had to complain, the mark
of high favour, dirks bestowed, would stimulate him
in the exercise of his public duties, however arduous
or unpleasant.' In undertaking these duties, however,
at so short a notice, he would throw himself upon
the kind indulgence of his fellow-citizens, should
there appear any ground of complaint, to prevent
which all the zeal and energy he possessed should be
folly exercised. In reflecting upon his own ine2pe-
iience, it was also most satisfactory to know, that his
colleague was a gentleman well acquainted with that
routine of duty which he was called upon with him
to perform. To him he should look for instruc:ion,
and with him he trusted to execute the duties of his
exalted situnon with integrity, and all the zeal he
possessed.—(Loral aNdauser.)—.Adjourned.

0 UEEN-SQOARF.—Yesterday James Williamson and
illwnar Arnow, who had been stopped with a bag
containing fowls and wet linen, Were fully committed
to Horsenionger-lane jail, charged with committing
various robbeties in the neighbourhood of Vauxhall
and Kennington.
HATTON G ItINEN.-- ROBBERY OF SADLEIIe•HALL.
Yesterday IV. and R. Hunt, sons of tio Under.headle
of Sadlers'-hall were re-examined. J. Limbriels„ the
officer, recapitulated his former statement relative to
apprehending the prisoners in Ely-place, with a quan-
tity of wine and plate in their possession. T. Clark,
of Sadlersquill, said, that in consequence of the in-
formation of the prisoners being in custody, he exa-
mined the premises, and discovered that the key found
on William opened a closet called the treasury, in
which a skeleton key was found which opened the
wine cellar door, in which also the plate was kept.
Out of three dozen of silver table spoons, which
woe used the preceding day, there was only one left.
Suspecting that some were concealed about the house,•
he commenced a search, and behind a cupboard in
the closet, of which William had the key, lie found
the two silver table spoons and file now produced.
The spoons had the arms of the Company neatly filed
out, but the marks of the file remained, not being
polished. In the same closet he also found the stone
and old shoe now produced, which, he supposes, were
used for the purpose of polishing the spoons, so that
the file markscould not be visible. These two spoons
matched the four found on the person of Richard,
only on them four there was neither the Company's
arms nor file marks visible, having received a high
polish. Another spoon, produced by Mr. Essex, of
Aldersgate.street, matched the others, but it had no
arpearance of being either filed, or having a mark.
1. Elbe!, a pawnbroker, in Aldersgate.sireet, pro.
duced a silver spoon pledged by the youngest of the
prisoners. Sarah Lucas, the hall-keeper, stated, that
she had no doubt the spoons prodUced are the pro-
perty of the Company; also several dozens of knives
and forks produced by the other pawnbrokers.—
Committed tot furthor exasaiumion.
