I GUILMIALL.—The interior of the City Hall is now
in a better state than it has been fluting many years.'
The antiquity of the Guildhall has received a new
face. The arms of Edward the Confessor, and the
shield of Ed yard 111. are made new and brilliant as
they wet ein the days of those Princes. The arms.sf
the City and the several Companies also appear to the
best advaetage, and the several armorial beatings of
the Afferent Monarchs who have conferred benefits
on the citizens of London, are clearly made out as
the same stood originally on the cornices. The mils'
objection to the new entrance leading to the Courts
and City Chamber is, that it is not wide enough.—
Beckford's monument is placed in a good .it nation.
Those finely curved but disproportioned figures, the
giants, are now elvvated on pillars in the singles of the
West window, where they for) a good ornaraEgt.--
At present thrte is no etock in die Ifaii, •.
suppose one will be put up as a matter of course),t_
NI/LBANK.—The batik broken, so as to prolloce
ioutulation near the Penitentiary House at 11,111hapk,
has been repaired, in pursuance of the directions of
Government, and a sum voted for that putpose last
Session of Parliament. A three feet brick wall eat..
tends along the bank to within a short distance s
the Vauxhall Bridge, and when the terrace within
the wall is laid level, it will form an agreeable pro.'
mettarle. The works of the Penitentiary Bowel go
on with Brent rapidity. It seems a town within Ore
walls. New extensive' buildings are erecting in ad-
dition to the large edifice flanked with towers, the
exterior of which was latch finished. Three of the
arches of the Vauxhall Bridge are formed by iron
work, and, in short, the egret number of hands em-
ployed in that quarter, cannot fail in making daily
progress in the works.
The fine ornaments about the exterior of Somerset-
House are shortly to be brushed up and put in clean
condition.
The ()riling in front of Carlton-House procoptli
with peat dispatch. St. Albao's Tavern t hat
was, and aunziter house, are all that remain standing
on the West side of St. Albaes-street.

Tile Defendant 11441 shipped by the crane from the
what f, as was charged in tee al.legerl debt. At high
tide the water came ov••i the stairs, and things could
he put into a barge, which would be part on the
who'll and part nu the stairs.
Mr. STOCKS thought th.tt nn farther proof was ne-
cessery. as w hat orery body arknowlydgert to be the
place where wherfaee bec tote charg,:able, must be
admitted by the Drfetidarst.
;J., 'r. Acme follneed this npitrion up by nbsery-
it, Him toe wharf being the Plaintiffs', they ho 4 a
t
rig v to exclude every body who would not pay
wharfage.
Ms. it El' NOLDS (the Judge)—" The Defendant will
be liable to the payment of all the goads you can
'wove to have been lodged on the whir. The mere
conveyance of goods down the steles proves no in.
starter of whartnee."
Mr. AGAtt submitted to the Learned Judge and
Court, that persons conveying goods over the steps
attached to the wharf, ought to be liable to the pre-
scribed wharfage.
Mr. Haiti, for'itbe Defendant, said, that that was
the strongest proof' of the forth-path and steps being
1 so 0
public.
:,Ir. AG an claimed a right of wharfage, on the
ground that it had not been disputed from time im-
memorial.
Mr. REYNOLDC—" 'fliere is nothing set forth in
your declaration fur tolls, it is for Orrfage. You
must prove that the btaits are excite:ire!), the Plain-
tiffs', by virtue of the lease under which the wharf-
' hge is granted."
'..Mr. Settees then called
Mr. Richard Mount, who deemed, that he took
pessession of the premises now held by the Plain-
.. _._ -- . 1 tiffs, in the year 1777. Witness held them "2years.
