WATFORD ELACTION.-01) Wednefday evening the
numbers were :—For Mr. COLCLOUGH 406 ; Mr.
ALCOCIC 378. Majority 28.

It has been Rated, and, we believe, vri.h accuracy,
that, at a late Meeting of the Eaft India DireCtors,
relative to the appointment of a fucceffor to Sir
GEoaca BARLOW, eighteen were for continuing that
Gentleman as Governor General, and four only for
the appointment of Lord LAUDERDALE. The latter
are Paid to be Sir FRANCIS BARING, Mr. MANSHIP,
Sir THEO►HILUS METCALFE, and Mr. ELPHINSTONS!
A very valuable and extenfive mitre of molt ex-
cellent coal has been difcovered and proved by Mr.
Jamas to exill on the eflate of the Duke of DORSET,
at Bexhill, on the Coati of Suffer. A difeovery
of this nature, particularly in that quarter of the
kingdom, cannot fad to prove an mat of great na-
tional importance.

The Country will hear with plelfure that a general

A few days fince 4 countryman going into the office
at Dalin', Commons, where all the wills are kept,
was farprifed to fee Inch a number of large volumes,
and enquired if they were BiLlo ? "No, Sir," re-
plied one of the clerks, 't they are Tfllaments."
Yeflerday a Court of Common Council was held
at Guildhall, when the Loan MAYOR laid before the
Court Letters of Thanks from Admirals Lord
Nourn rsa, Sir J. T. Ducasvoa TH, and J. H. Louis,
which were ordered to he entered on the Journals.
Mr. Alderman LeA prefented a petition on behalf
of the poor Germans, which was referred to a Cum.
mittee.

It was agreed that Mr. Alderman Comas fhould
move the Houfe of Commons for a Repeal of the Ad-
ditional Force Aet, as applicable to the City of Lon-
don.

Mr. Dix ow moved that the Thanks of the Court
with a Sword. and the Freedom of the City, fhould
be prefented to General Sir Davin BAIRD, and Com.
modore Sir Mime POPHAM, for their condo& and
bravery in the conquefl or the. Cape of Good Hope.
In vain did many Members endeavour to perfuade
Mr. Dixon to withdraw his motion, eonfidering it!as
premature. when Government had not thought pro•
per to do it.

Mr. MAR R iorr moved the previous quellion.
Mr. Dol rroto feconded it, and contended, that
when the Court were applying to Parliament for the
Repeal of the Additional Force Ad, which was fuch
a faring to the Corporation, it would be imprudent
to he aeling in dire& oppofition to Gorernmeit, for
if they had thought it right, they would have fop-
ported fuch a meafure in the Houle of Commons.
The motion was fopported by Mr. GitiFFITHs and
Mr. HARPS!, and oppofed by Mr. Alderman Com BR,
Mr. Alderman HAWKEY, Mr. WAITH MAN, Mr. JAICK•
S )1.4. &C.
