Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK
visited the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-House.
The health of her Royal Highness the Duchess of
CLARENCE, has improved very much since her arrival
at Dover Castle.
Lord Viscount BURT has not declined the contest
for the Representation of Arundel. It is true, in-
deed, that some of Mr. BLAKE'S friends issued bills
to that effect ; and thence, it is supposed, the report
of his Lordship's declension originated and prevailed.
A most respectable Meeting of the Freeholders
and Inhabitants of the Borough of Southwark, was
held last night, at the Nag's Head, High-street, pur-
suant to public advertisement, for the purpose oftaking
into consideration the best means for giving effect to
the Resolutions, passed at the late Meeting, relative
to the Manchester transactions ; but, owing to some
mistake respecting the notice sent to Sir ROBERT
WILSON, (who was to have presided) or some family
calamity, the worthy Baronet was not present. After
a little consideration, it was agreed to adjourn the
Meeting till Friday evening ; but not till the Gen-
tlemen present commenced a Subscription for assist-
ing the Manchester sufferers ; when Mr. WEATHER-
STONE, who had been called to the Chair, presented.
the sum of Twenty Guineas as a mite frcni Sir Re
BERT ;—Five Guineas, transmitted by - a Friend, at
Brighton, to " purchase justice, hemp, &c.—(Laugh-
ter and applause) ;--and his own humble tribute of
Ten Guineas. Other Gentlemen subscribed, and a
considerable sum was collected before the Meeting
adjourned.
Mr. Alderman Timm, as Governor of the Irish
Society, with a Deputation of the Common Council,
is now in Ireland, looking after the estates which
belong to the Corporation of London ; he is expected
,back at the end of the week.

MEETING bJ' THE cbMl►MOly-IIALL
THLI DAY.

pUILDTIALt., HALF-PAST EtErEII O'CLOCK.
As early as ten o'clock this morning, the number
assembled in Guildhall-yard was very great. At

eleven O'clock the LORD MAYOR arrived, and was
greeted with the accustomed salutations of " Fire!
fire !"—" Murder !"-..." Hunt's at your heels !"—and
tremendous hissing. He looked round in a con-
temptuous manner. Alderman ROTHWELL has just
passed through the Hall, amidst a mixture of hisses
land applause. The Corporation have procirded to
Church, and it is not expected that the business will

commence in the Hall until half-past one o'clock.—
In the iuterim, the following Hand-bill was plenti-

fully distributed in the Hall :

1/4 THE WILL OF THE LORD MAYOR! versus THE

RIGHT OF TILE LIVERY OF LONDON TO MEET
IN COMMON-HALL to discuss Public Grievances.
I can never allow that the Lord Mayor shall be ever✓ thing,
and the Livery nothing P—Coomir, 1809.
"This Cause is to be tried in the Gcn.rnseu. of the CITY of
Lownosr, this MICUAELMAS-DAY, 1819, previous to the Election

of the Lord Mayor for the Year ensuing.
" Lrizarmin—The Eyes of the whole Kingdom are directed
to the Issue of this important Struggle.
" Remember that the Livtar, on MID6IIIOI2IL-DAY, 1679, de-
fended this Right for you. It is your Duty to hand the same

dows to Poaserity, unimpaired. Do your Duty !—Be Tempe-
rate ! !—But be Firm ! ! !"

Scarcely had the above made its appearance, when
the following was also circulated profusely :
" The Loyal and Independent Livery of. London, having met
at the London Tavern, on Friday, the 24th 44y of September,
1819, JOHN. BLADES, Esq. in the Chair, it was unanimously

Resolved, That the Line of Rotation to the Office of LORD
MAYOR, should be most strictly adhered to. The Loyal and
Independent Livery of London are therefore earnestly requested
to Support the return of Sir MATTHEW BLOXAM, Knt.
and CHRISTOPHER MAGNAY, Esq. being die two Al-
dermen next in Rotation, to be returned to the COURT of At.-
nxasias as FIT and PROPER PERSONS to serve the Office of Lows
MATOS for the Year ensuing.",
Another—

" BROTHER LIVIRYMEPP.-YOll are this day assembled to exer-
cise a most important duty, the choice of a Chief Magistrate.
" Are you not called upon then to elect such a Magistrate as
will not deny you a Common Hall, to consider the propriety of
Petitioning for the Redress of Public Grievances?
" Will Alderman Banalks, and the Aldermen below the
Chair, come forth and declare their readiness to convene Com-
mon Halls, when requested so to do by a respectable number of
Liverymen ?
" If not, what alternative have you then, but to return Mr.
Alderman WOOD and Mr. Alderman THORP ? by which you can
Alone secure your ancient and undoubted privileges, guaranteed to
you by the Bill of Bights.—l'our's, " A Dvsarstax."
HALF-PAST TWELVE.
The Civic Procession, when on its way to the
Church of St. Lawrence JeWry, was assailed with a
most astounding tempest of groaning, yelling, and
hissing. Only three Aldermen followed in the train
of the Loan MAYOR. Although the Church was of
course open to every body, but' few of the multitude
took advantage of the privilege, and we were happy
to find the greatest order and decorum observed
during the Service. The first portion of Scripture
appointed for the day's reading was singular, and
produced a general smile throughout the Assembly.
It commenced as follows :
" And there was war in Heaven ; Michael a%d his Angels
fought against the Dragon, knd the Dragon fought and his An-
gels, and prevailed not ; neither was their place found any more
in Heaven. And the great Dragon was cast out—that old Ser-
pent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world : he was cast out into the earth, and his Angels were cast
out with him."

The LORD MAYOR'S Chaplain delivered a very
appropriate discourse from these words—" He who
ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of
Goo."—The Reverend Preacher took occasion to
pass a very high eulogium on Lord Mayor ATKINS
for his upright conduct during his Mayoralty. His
Lordship, he emphatically observed, would retire
from it to enjoy one of the richest pleasures in life—
the unbribed congratulation of his own heart.
On the return of the Procession to Guildhall the
populace appeared to have formed a new system of
annoyance, confining themselves to an incessant shout-
ing of Fire! Fire! It was with difficulty that the
City Officers and Constables could clear the way
through to the Hall, every one pressing forward to
get a sight of the Civic Dignitaries, and every one
apparently more anxious than another to pour in his
mite of abuse.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

At five minutes past one, the Loan MAYOR took
his seat on the littsLings, amidst the most dismal yells
and hootings, mixed with applause. Aldermen C.
SMITH, WOOD, WAITHMAN, J. J. SMITH, HUNTER,
SCHOLEY, BLOXAM;.BRYDGES, and HEYGATE, were
also present. The Town Crier called silence !' and
the RECORDER then rose, and stated, that the Livery
were met for the purpose of el ecting a Lord Mayor
for the year ensuing.
Mr. THOMPSON rose to propose a series of Reso-
lutions, but was interrupted by the LORD MAYOR
and the RECORDER. The COMMON SERJEANT also
declared that the proceeding was illegal. After a
very noisy wrangle the Lunn MAYOR allowed him to
proceed.
Mr. T. was, however, so repeatedly interrupted by
the COMMON SERJEANT and the cries of .‘ (t 11;
" Election, Electio' n r that Mr. WAITIIMAN advised
him to wait until the Hall was quiet. Here a struggle
ensued between the two. Sheriffs, both of whom
wished to address the Livery. Mr. Sheriff ROTH-
WELL succeeded in recommending them to pioceed
to the order of the day.
Mr. Sheriff BARILII.I6 here protested against the

'precedency assumed by 14r. gothweit, and etistitill
the Lord Mayor for perinitting it.. He beget! Or
the Livery Would be patient; and a hear what tit&
Gentlemen has to say r—alldding to some on the
hustings who Were calling for the. tiection:'
Mr. WAITHMAN again spole to order, *ben the
COMMON SnaJEAwr insisted on his right tt being,
heard. g You are not doing your duty, said Mr.
Waithnian, to which the Cominon Serjeant re-
plied If yeti forget your duty, I will not forget
mine! lie than read a list of the Aldetmon in ro-,
tation for the Chain

Mr. Titoursos opposed the reading, as did Alder-
man WAITIIMAN, who then addressed the Meeting
to the following effect:—" Gentlemen, the read-
ing of this list is a solemn farce—(DreadfUl clamour
on the hustings, in which a Mr. ROBERT SMITH took
a conspicuous part.) I will wait till you are done, and •
will stop till five o'clock to-morrow morning, but I
will be heard. The Gentlemen who now interrupt
me are the same who met at the London Tavern to
preserve the peace—( Cries of Election! Election!)
and are now here, I suppose, for the same pur-
pose this is the secret Junto of the Loyal Livery
with a Mr. Robert Smith at the head, who proposed•
that they should take possession of the hustings this
day, to stop your mouths.—(Mr. Smith denied it.)—
If he can say any thing else, but No, No, and Elec-
tion, for Gon's sake hear him."—(Mr. Waithman now
sh ipped of his Alderman's gown), and proceeded:—
" Now Gentlemen, I call upon you to exercise yout
own discretion, and gain a fair hearing to Mr. Robert
Smith, who will tell you, that the best war to have
an Election, is not to have any Election at all.
A Mr. Murrell here interrupted Mr. Waithman/
to whom turning round, he said, " Yes, Mr. Murrell/
you are one of them." Gentlemen, if they interrupt
me, I will point them out to you—
Left speaking. •

The FRENCH AMBASSADOR entertained on Monday
the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR, Mr. MORIER; and a large
party, at his residence in Portland-place.
Earl and Countess SPENCER and suite left Paris on
Thursday last for Vienna.
The Marquis and Marchioness of BLANDFORD ar,
rived on Monday at the Prince of Saxe-Coburg Hotel,
Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, from Scotland.

A letter from Frankfort, dated September 13, says,
Our Fair is again overstocked with English goods;
the woollen cloths and kerseymeres cannot, however,
maintain the competition, in cheapness, with those of
the Netherlands and France. Cotto❑ manufactures,
from Saxony and Switzerland, are come in great
numbers. As a proof of the excessive quantity of
goods manufactured, it may be mentioned, that a
single Swiss house has brought to this Fair 376 cwt.
of stuffs and cottons of its own manufacture. Some
Swiss and Saxon houses, however, do a good deal of
business, and with advantage, though the English sell
their cotton goods even cheaper than in the last Fair.
The French jewellers appear to be satisfied. There
is a great supply of French and Vienna shawls and
Lyonese silks, and these articles maintain their prices.
No Italians have come to this Fair.
"SEPTEMBER 15.—After the first week of the Fair
is over, we hear that business turns out better than
was at first expected. Considerable purchases of raw
wool have been made, and it is hoped that in the se-
cond week the wool magazines will be pretty well
cleared. Several Vienna houses and owners of large
estates in Moravia and Bohemia had sent great quan-
tities of wool from the Austrian State!."
CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, SEPTEMBER 29.
Our Wheat trade was brisker this morning than on
Monday, and a few picked samples sold Is. per qr.
higher; the late rains having enabled some of the
lwater-mills to resume working, and thereby increased
the number of buyers, but there is no improvement
in price of any other than the finest qualities. Fine
Barley sold on full as good terms as on Monday. In
Beans and Oats there is no alteration.
