our comforts and happiness. I therefore propose the health of Mr. Deputy Pinder." This was received with enthusiastic plaudits. Mr. Pinder addressed the Meeting, with evident marks of strong and varied emotions: "My Lord, I beg you will accept my sincere thanks for taking the Chair on this occasion, which is to my mind a pleasing addition to all the favours you have hitherto been pleased to confer upon me. To you, Gentlemen, who are Aldermen of the City of London, I feel truly indebted for honouring me with your presence to-day. To my friends, my very kind friends, the Common Councilmen, who have encouraged and promoted this Meeting, I can only say, you have made me a very proud man. The notice of the Corporation of London must at all times be gratifying to every honest feeling, and to every worthy heart; but to me it is peculiarly so, as I receive it as a proof that I have not spent fifty years of my life without the gratification and applause of my fellow-citizens. To you, Gentlemen, who have acted as Stewards, I have to offer the tribute of an old man's feelings, which, I trust, will not be deemed of less value because they are the result of a long experience, and may be justly considered as divested of all flattery, or any anxious wish to please, where compliments cannot be of much use to yourselves or to me.-My Lord and Gentlemen, I could, perhaps, say much, very much, on this extraordinary occasion; but I feel I might be wanting to you and to myself.

I am

Overcome, overwhelmed with your kindness: I begin to feel that I know not how I am placed here. [The worthy Deputy was so affected that he shed tears.] Let me add, that your notice of me is impressed upon my heart for ever. God bless you all!"The impression made upon the Meeting by this address is indescribable. Tuesday, Nov. 8.

The important Ecclesiastical Cause, so long at issue, respecting the valuable advowson of Bradwell-jnxta-Mare, in Essex, was this day decided by a solemn adjudication of the Court of Common Pleas, in favour of the Rev. Sir Henry Bate Dudley, Bart. the Plaintiff.—This case is of material importance to Sir H. B. Dudley, involving a property of upwards of 40,000%.

Wednesday, Nov. 9.

This morning Mr. Alderman Birch, the newly-elected Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, Chamberlain, and other Officers of the Corporation, assembled at Guildhall, in their several robes of office, and thence proceeded as usual to Westminster-hall, where the old and new Chief Magistrates were presented to the Barons of the Exchequer, and the

Recorder, addressing their Lordships, paid a handsome tribute to the worthy Magistrate who so lately filled the Civic chair, who, he said, "had not only merited the thanks and gratitude of his fellow-citizens; but his dignified reception of the Allied Sovereigns, at the splendid banquet given at Guildhall, had induced his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting in 'behalf of his Majesty, after conferring on him the title of Baronet, to grant him armorial bearings, as a mark of Royal approbation, and a lasting memorial of the glorious event which had distinguished his Mayoralty.

The Chief Barou, addressing the new Lord Mayor, said, "By the suffrages of your Fellow-citizens, and the concurrence of your Brother Aldermen, your Lordship has been elected to the dignified situation of Chief Magistrate of the City of London. A great and important trust is thus committed to your Lordship; and you will have to perform many arduous duties, in which the citizens are highly interested. Your Lordship is duly qualified in every respect for all the duties, however difficult; and your Fellow-citizens and the Publick have reason to be convinced, from experience of the past, that you will be steady and impartial in the discharge of your duty as Chief Magistrate. Unshaken loyalty, and firm attachment to our excellent Constitution in Church and State, have marked the leading features in your Lordship's character. From such a review of your past conduct, your Fellow-citizens may clearly (as the Learned Recorder has stated) confide in your Lordship as Chief Magistrate, for the just performance of the high trust you are called on to execute."

Mr. Baron Thomson then, addressing the late Lord Mayor, observed, "My Lord, The period has now arrived in which your Lordship is to be released from the duties of an important office, which you have discharged with so much honour to yourself, and advantage to the Publick. In reviewing the occurrences which have taken place during your Mayoralty, I cannot but remark, that you contemplated, in common with other good members of society, what has made Europe different from what it was when you entered on your office. You have seen the downfall of the Enemy, the peace of Europe reestablished, and the restoration of the illustrious Sovereign of France, with other happy events which have occurred during the time your Lordship presided.In consequence of these events, my Lord, the Allied Sovereigns visited this Metropolis, and the Citizens joined heart and hand in giving honour and expressing gratitude to those Allied Sovereigns. High and distinguished honours were conferred on them

and

and his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, with the Royal Visitors, were invited to Guildhall, where their reception was worthy the most opulent City in the World. Your Lordship's conduct on that day was highly meritorious; and his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the name of his Majesty, was pleased to bestow on your Lordship hereditary honours, which were made known to the Publick, and intended by his Royal Highness, as a memorial of the grand and hospitable manner in which the Allied Sovereigns were entertained by the City; also to commemorate an event which will for ever distinguish the annals, and place an honourable mark on your Lordship's Mayoralty. With these well-deserved honours, your Lordship will readily quit the conspicuous situation you have held, and retire with the applause of your fellow-citizens."

Sir Wm. Domville and the new Lord Mayor then bowed, withdrew, and returned to Guildhall, where the company sat down to dinner a little after 6; and the tables groaned under the greatest profusion of dainties which opulence could purchase, or taste and experience suggest.

The Lord Mayor drank a toast to the Ladies; and the Earl of Liverpool proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, who made an eloquent address to the Company for the honour done him by the Noble Earl. "Invested," he said," with the insignia of the high, proud, and distinguished office to which he had been called by the confidence of his Fellow-citizens, impressed on his mind a just and lively sense of the important duties he had to fulfil, and of the high responsibility which is imposed upon him. The maintenance of the antient rights of his Fellow-citizensthe dignity of the first commercial City in the World-the preservation of the peace -the administration of justice-the promotion of the prosperity of the Metropolis, were all objects which he must ever have in his view, and were duties which he must exert his feeble talents to fulfil. In his humble endeavours to discharge the functions of his high office, he was sure that he should meet with the indulgence of his Fellow-citizens, as well as their support. Surrounded as he was at that moment by all the chosen and selected intellect of the Country, by the Ministers of the Prince Regent, by the Learned Judges, by the Representatives of the most illustrious Potentates of Europe, by his Brother Magistrates, and the respect able Citizens of London, he could not do justice to the feelings that rose in his breast; nor would the time devoted to conviviality permit him to detain them by attempting to express the various emotions that rose up in his mind when he reflected on the interesting moment when he was called to this high situation.The state of

Europe, so recently delivered from a most afflicting war the unparalleled importance of the objects which now engaged the consideration of the Congress sitting at Vienna-all brought about by the wisdom, vigour, perseverance, and disinterestedness, of the British Government, aided and supported by the energy of the People (among whom, the Citizens of London had always been the most conspicuous in their activity, zeal, and liberality), presented to his mind at that moment the most elevated idea of the greatness of Eng land, and impressed on him a just reverence for that glorious Constitution which had enabled his Majesty to make such signal exertions for the deliverance of Europe. To preserve that Constitu tion, and to keep alive that spirit in the City, of which he was for the time the Chief Magistrate, would be the object of his warmest ambition; and it would be the happiness of his life, if the Negocia tions now going on should happily terminate in the accomplishment of the work of Peace with the only power with which we were still at war." This address, of which we have only given a feeble outline, was received with the warmest applause.

The Lord Mayor then proposed the health of the late Lord Mayor; and, in doing this, he paid the Hon. Baronet a just and merited eulogium on "the honourable and dignified manner in which he had supported the character and done the honours of the City, in a moment of the highest glory that the City ever received. Whea they had, in the spirit of English, hospitality, to entertain our own Sovereign Prince, and the most illustrious Potentates of Europe, it was not easy to say in which the City of London had the most distinguished itself-by the splendour and magnificence of the reception it gave to these high and august Personages, or by the polished and graceful manner in which the Lord Mayor had done the honours of the City on that most memorable occasion, and which had so eminently contributed to the splendour of their name." The toast was received with the loudest acclamation; and the late Lord Mayor returned thanks with his accustomed modesty and neatness.

The Lady Mayoress (Mrs. Birch, daughter-in-law to the Lord Mayor, and wife to his Lordship's son and chaplain) was seated on a sort of throne, in a chair of state, in the Council Chamber, whither the visitors were conducted as they arrived, to be introduced to her Ladyship, who received them with becoming grace and affability. She was dressed in a splendid court-habit. Her head-dress consisted of several small white ostrich feathers, and a profusion of diamonds. The whole was in good taste, at least as far as taste can comport with a large hoop.

Friday, Nov. 11.

This night a fire broke out at the house of Mr. Tewson, dealer in marine stores, in Narrow-street, Limehouse, which for four hours raged with the greatest fury, the engines, from the narrowness of the street, being scarcely able to afford any assistance. The fire caught the opposite side of the way; 16 houses, besides several warehouses, connected with the supply of the shipping, were burnt down. The flames were not completely got under till nine in the morning. The fire is supposed to have been occasioned by an apprentice of Mr. Tewson's going into the rope-loft with a lighted candle.

The Bishop of London is making very considerable additions and other improve. ments, to Fulham-palace, the amount of expenditure on which will probably amount to 20,0001.

The Court-Martial on Colonel Quentin, of the 10th Hussars, assembled at Whitehall on the 17th October. Colonel Palmer appeared as the public prosecutor. There were four charges against him; three for neglect of duty, whilst his regiment was engaged with the Enemy; the fourth, for allowing a relaxed state of discipline in the regiment, which brought it into bad repute with the Commander of the Forces, the Duke of Wellington. The trial occupied the attention of the Court for seven days, and the following is their decision:

"The Court, baving maturely weighed and considered the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, as well as what has been offered in defence, are of opinion that Col. Quentin is Guilty of so much of the first charge as imputes to him having neglected his duty as commanding officer on the 10th of January, by leaving some of the divisions without orders, when attacked by the Enemy, but acquit him of the remainder of the charge.-With respect to the second charge, the Court are of opinion that Col. Quentin is Not Guilty. -With respect to the third charge, the Court are of opinion that Col. Quentin is Not Guilty. With respect to the fourth charge, the Court are of opinion that a relaxed discipline, as set forth in that charge, did exist in the regiment under Col. Quentin's command, while on foreign service, during the period alluded to in the letter and orders referred to in the charge; and, as they cannot but consider the commanding officer of a regiment to be responsible for such relaxation of discipline, they therefore think themselves bound to find Col. Quentin guilty to the extent of allowing it to exist; but, as they consider the Letter from the Adjutant-ge-, neral to the troops on the Continent, of March 30, 1814, expressing the displeasure of the Commander of the Forces, as a reprimand to Col. Quentin, adequate to the degree of blame which attached to

him, the Court do not feel themselves called upon to give any sentence upon this charge in the way of further punishment; and they consider that any thing unusual, in this determination will be explained by the singularity of the circumstances at tending this charge, by which an officer is put upon his trial for conduct which had before been the subject of animadversion by those under whose command he was then serving, but which at the time was not considered deserving of a more serious proceeding by the Commander of the Forces; nor does it appear to have been made the subject of any remonstrance or request for a more serious investigation on the part of the officers of the regiment. -The Court, having found the prisoner Guilty of so much of the first charge as is above expressed, and so much of the fourth charge as is above recited, with the reasons which induce the Court to feel they are not called upon to affix any pu nishment to the last-mentioned charge, do only adjudge, with reference to the first charge, that Col. Quentin be reprimanded in such manner as his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief shall be pleased to direct. The Court, however, cannot conclude these proceedings without expressing their regret, that there appears to have existed such a want of co-operation among the Officers of the regiment, as to render the duties of the Commanding Officer much more arduous than they otherwise would have been."The general Order, dated Horse-Guards, Nov. 10, stating that the Commander in Chief had laid the proceedings before the Prince Regent, by whom the sentence was approved of, shall be given in our next.

A Steam Packet Company has been formed in London for building and esta blishing conveyances by Steam-boats on the River Thames. Mr. Dodd, civil engineer, of Newcastle, has the merit of completing this arrangement; and the next spring will witness boats impelled by steam plying between London and Gravesend, and London and Kingston. Boats on this principle possess the invaluable property of working against a foul wind or contrary tide; and in consequence the hour of departure is regular, their arrival certain, and they are never compelled to bring up and land their disappointed pas-. sengers frequently many miles from their destination.

An inquest was lately held in Red Lionsquare, on the body of Mary Ann Scott, who, whilst getting coals in the cellar, set: fire to her clothes, and was so burnt as to cause her death. The Surgeon who attended her, attributed her death to the injudicious use, as a remedy, of ink mixed with oil, which, from the state of the body, he could not remove; and the Jury returned a Verdict accordingly.
