Yesterday Abe`;id Mayor held his first Quirt of
Aldermen at Guildhall, which was attended by 13
Aldermen, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and City Officers.
The useal slat* end ceremony observed on this oc- '
cation was dispensed wish by his Lordship, on sc.'
count of the recent demise of her late Majesty.
Prior to the Coen entering upon the fussiness of the
day, the Lao MaYea addressed them at some
length.

The ananissoos Thanks of the Court wore voted
to tho late Lord Mayor, for his conduct during the
period be filiod that arduous and important situation,
which were directed to be presented to hie, and also
to be published.—(Vida Advertisement in our first
Me.)
A half-yearly dividend to the orphans and o.her
creditors of the City, due the sth January Hest, was
ordered for payment ato the nth of that month.
The usual precepts for St. Thomas's Day, &c.
were directed to be issued.

The several Committees of the Court were ap.
pointed, and sundry bills ordered to be paid.

As a proof of the rise of property, and the con-
sequent increase of trade in Glasgow, we understand
that, within these few days, the Magistrates have let
two shops in King-street (at the entrance into the
Green-market), on a lease of seven years, at the
annual rent of '2801.; being an increase of 1031. per
annum on the former lease of seven years, nearly
expired.

Elizabeth Denham, the woman who forced her-
self some time ago into the drawing-room of her late
Majesty, stole the Lord Chancellor'i mace, and car-
ried off some law books from Unioa-hall pollee
-
office, and committed various other strange robberies,
was on Saturday last takeo to Lambeth workhouse,
by order of theiMagistrates, and confined as a lunatic.
SCROGGINI AND MARTIN.—The stake was made
good from 51. to 50i. a-side, on Monday night; bet
as the fives and lens are not so plentiful as they were,
it is doubtful whether the other 501. a side will be
made on the 3d of December. Martin is backed at
six and seven to four, play or pay.
CoRY•EtcHANOC, Nov. `26.—Oar Wheat trade
was heavy this morning, having but few buyers at
market, but prices continue nominally as on Monday.
Not having had any fresh arrivals of English Barley
since Monday, what remained over from Monday
found buyers to-day, on fell as good terms as on
Monday.—Fine Oats met reedy sate, and folly sup-
port their price.—ln Beans mad Peas there is no al-
titration.

One Rote, a wan who has just been scqeitted of a
charge of robbery, before the High Court of Edin-
burgh, before his trial attempted to cot his throat :
he separated his windpipe, and ever since that time
his life has been preserved by means of a silver pipe,
through which be breathes. An elastic tube is also
used fo► feeding him, his fond being conveyed by this
instremeet through the opening which he made in his
throat. Re has been most carefully attended by Drs.
GALL and SIBBALD, who were in waiting daring the
trial, and had him twice removed for the impose of
giving him food. He is still in town ender their
charge, and they are at present instructing him how
to feed hitheelf.—( Edinburgh Paper.)

As Mr. Drury, of the Borough, was passing the
north end of Fleet-market, yesterday morning, at
I o'clock, he was attracted by the miserable and
wretched condition of a poor man, who had fallen
down, and apparently from want of food ; while he
was affording some trifling assistance, and endeavour-
ing to ascertain the residence and the particular cir-
cumstances of the poor man's situation, his pocket
wag picked of a silk handkerchief, which he almost
immediately discovered, and he could not refrain at
expressing his indignation at the wretch, who coold
he so depraved as to rob him at that particular time.
In a few moments, to his amazement, his handker-
chief was returned to him, as he concluded, by the
penitent pickpocket.
SmoCKING ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—Monday night,
a person named T. Turner, residing at a coffee-shop,
in Wells-street, Cavendish-square, made a most
dreadful attempt on his own life. He went up to the
second floor, and therewith some sharp instrument cut
his throat almost from ear to ear; he then opened the
window, and having dragged his body through with
difficulty, hegarea spring and fell to the bottom. In
his descent he struck some of the area railings, which
tore his abdomen, and inflicted an incision on the
side, and he then fell on the water butt in the aces.
Notwithstanding all the contusions he received, the
poor wretch was net killed. He was taken to
the Middles,: Hospital, where be was dressed.
and put to bed, but from the complicated nature of
his wounds, he is not expected to recover. He',
is 42 years old, and, it is said, has been deranged
for some time.

with an apoplectic fit, and expired almost instantly,
even before Mr. C. could get out of an adjoining
room to him. Ue had written two or three letters
before he came out, and had made an engagement
with his wife to accompany her in his carriage, on
his return. A Coroner's Inquest sat on the body
yesterday afternoon, and returned a verdict—Died
by the Visitation of God.
ATTIIIPT AT SUICIDZ:-..Mr. Varney, who keeps
an eating-house in Newcastle.etreet, Strand, made a
desperate attempt on his life a few days ago. He was
carving a joint of meat at the wirnlow in his shop,
when he suddenly applied the airing-knife to his
OA under the left ear, and indicted a most dread.
