Mr. TADDY seconded this nomination, and coins
'aided in sit that had been urged in support of the
personal qualities and mental endowments of Mr.
Thorpe.
The election then proceeded, and Mr. Thorpe,
citizen and draper, was declared duty elected.
Mr. Tnoitrz then stepped forward, and etpressed
the high sense which he entertained of the honour
that had been conferred upon him. lie was, he
said, grateful for, the llatteting terms in which be

The Mil was then dlosolved, and the diflicoltidi
which have so long existed, to find two willing SAO

DRURY-LIVE.—Mr. Pow-rum repeated the Ai.:
racier of Skylock last night. We hive ,"iy tittle re
add to our former ohsemitiotio on this performauce,
and nothing to retract. The general effect was, we
I „
hesitate not to say, more impressive. His latt scene
is by far his best. The whole conception of it wall
just and spirited, and except where his lake failed
him, was represented to the extent hf that canesp.
tion. The other characters of the piece were dia.
tributed as before, and require ne other than a Lea
neral notice—they were well seettlined, dad much
applauded.
A respectable looking man, about 40 years old,
hung himself, about six o'clock this mottling, to the
paling at the side of Westminster litidge. Ile was
taken to the Westminster workhoirte to be owned
his shirt was marked with the letters J. J.
PEDESTRIANIOI.—A crowd of amateurs was at.
tracted to Snaresbrook on Monday last, to within*
the pending race of 100 yards for 100 guiaeas, he:
tween Mr. F. and Mr. W. two .eitlllentett well
known on the Royal Exchange. Tais match had
excited a great sensation in the city, from the well-
• known speed of the parties, and many were deeply
interested in it. In consequence of Mr. W.'s having
had, on Sunday, a fall from the dickey of his Cate
i ridge, by which his right heel receieed a shock, the
• odds at starling were two to one against hiM ; he;
' however, won in fine style, by four to five yards..-
The opinion on the giound was, that net one mats
in England can beat Mr. W. 100 yards.—The Oen.
tlemen, With their friends, afterwards adjourned to
the Eagle.
On Thutiday last a dreadful fire happened at Sea:
' by, four miles from Slesford, which raged With great
fury for a considerable time, and was attended With
an immense loss. 'the fire took place upon the pre.
Mises of Mr. Codd, owing to the carelessness of a
servant having left a lighted candle in the stable ; it
entirely consumed his house, hams, stacks of corn,
and every thing upon his premises, as well al thresi
valuable horses in the place where the lire broke
out : it then communicated to go adjoining firm-
house, which Unhappily shared a similar fate, the
house, oot.buildings, ...a stacks being entirely con.
somed. 'the fire was riot extinguished until ri malt.
• log house and all the utensils were likewise destroyed.
We do not know whether any or the Property Wit
insured.
