The Hall was most numerously Attended. . The Hall was ripened by Alderman Wood in state, attended by the City Officers and the Court of Aldermen, of whom Alderman Rothwell and Alderman Garratt, am' the Recorder, were received with peculiar marks of thr•nr displeasure The Common Crier read a document from the Lord Alayor appointing Alderman Wood his /ocular knew, in Ids absence On acemilit of bodily indisposition, to hold Common Hills, Courts of Aldermen, Stc. Toe Recorder in presenting himself to state to the lla!I the purposes for which they were convened, was assailed with ..'roans and hisses, and cries of •• No asso ciation's, &m•. ke." The Court of Aldermen having withdrew, the Com mon Sergeant read the list of persons put in nomination as candidates for the (Alice of Slieliff. They were as John Garrett, Esq. Alderman and Goldsmith. Veualiles, Esq. Alderman and Stationer. Humphrey Martin, Esq Citizen and Couk. William Ke), EN. Citizen and Cook. William Sutton, Esq. ditto, ditto. John Woolley, Esq.

Citizen and Weaver. .10 , eph Putty, l q. Cstizon and Waschandler. and William Crook, EN Citizen and Merchant Tailor. Mr. Scant -1.2 z, after the names had been read, came forward to address the Hall. They were, he said, con vened to exercise one of their most important duties, in the election of officers who, in the discharge of their functions, were superior even to Peers themselves. They were about to elect conservators of the peace, who of their own authority, might apprehend and commit to prisms all misdoers. When they considered the high power and extensive jurisdiction of these officers, o: whom they bad the appointment, it became highly im portant that they should eltet none but men of integrity and firmness, who would soder neither their own righ.s as high officers, nor those of their fellow citizens, to 1x invaded. It became still more necessary that they should elect such men, when they saw the constituted authori ties invaded, and their powers usurped by a self-elected junta, who had associated and were formed (in the very centre of the jurisdiction of the officers whom they were about to appo:nt) for the purpose of intimidating the pre-s, and oppressing the uttfortimate, for differences of opinion. Should the powers of the regular authorities be allowed to he usurped by a set of informers t (Loud applause.) He hoped never to see a conclave exist in this country, such as did at the time of Nero, the Roman Eutpetor, and who were, in the reign of his successor, Torus, ordered to be publicly whipped through the forum ; and then they were led through the amphithe atre as wild beasts, and afterwards sold as slaves. lo the proscrip ,during the second triumvirate caused by the inforuiers, the names of the proscribed were inscribed our tablets hung up iu the public view. Toe prosecuted had then some chance, and might see what was placed against then. There was anoWer feature peculiar to that associa;ion, which was, that no priests hail ally share in tine proceedings. After some further o:isett thous to the Same effect, he exhorted the Hall to ire stre nuous m their opposition of such measures, as their po litical arid religious liberties were all at stake. lie tlt.t it vas for the purpose of putting forward r person who would assist, as far as in proscriptive invasion of replar within ity, which lie said had r. moldy taken place, that he recommended to their no•ice the name of r.

Tim present Citamberlain and Bridge Masters were re-elected. The present Aleconneis were re-elected. J. Collins, citirrn and lorainer, was clime', in with them. Mr. StentaNs and Mr. GALLOWAY proposed Mr. Richardson and Mr. Wethersione as candidates for the lace of Auditors, in long speeches, which they svuted that as the otlice wai at present executed, it was a mere sinecure; that the Auditors sixiied the accounts whatnot understanding t h orn; that it was proper that retrenchment should begin at house, and that the Livery should appoint men who would examine into every stein befute they passed it, and keep a sharp eye over lobs, contracts, &c. A show of hands was then taken, and Mr. Richardson and Mr. Wetherstone, a etc declared duly elected by a considerable majorhy, to some as Auditors with the two who remain in office. _ IVhilst the Sheriffs were gone to make a report of the proceedings to the Court of Aldermen, Mr. Galloway addressed the Hall, and cautioned them that the business 01 the election was about to commence. The circum stance of Alderman Garrat it.lll.lnding a poll, compelled him to state who he was. Ile WAY not a one guinea, or a two guinea, but a fine guinea' wetniler of the Bridge street association.

Galloway continued, that he would undertake to prove he wan, and 1;4! would do su on the authority of the return made in the Coon of King's Bench, in which he was S t down as one of those not elip,ible to sent e the office of Jnror in a case where that society prosecuted, he tieing one of the prosecutors. Such being the case, he could not be a fit person to elect as an Aker to mom, such Jury. The RECORDER, on deelatiog the several candidates returned to the different offices to he duly elected, excited mulch mirth, by commencing his address to the flail with " Gentlemen of the Jury," instcao in" Gentlemen or the Livery." The accounts for last year has been read, the clec of Sherilts was VOCeeliell in.

Alderman VENAULES returned thanks in an appro priase speech. Alderman GARKAT said, it was natural to expect that those in the Hall would make a point of setting up their layout itc as i.cnsiitle. He hoped that the livery at large would have an opportunity of knowing I beget than Ilh, y • did. He declared that lie neither bought iiin Court nor the common favour, and that it was his ileterminatims to keep the ;Poll oven to the karst hour, as he WS determined to see of what materials the Lively were made of; and if he found that it appeared to be their sense that he was unfit to serve them, he would retire into that pr;vate file front whence lie had been drawn by his 6.1:0‘v parishioners.—Cries of " Go now."—" No," said toe worthy Alderman, " I have not vet made the trial 1 priipo.c.

We understand that no less than four regiments of cavalry, in 1:(1,1iiion to the three regiments of Foot G;i..rds, with the regiments of Horse Guards, awl the Oxtord Blues, are to attend the approach ing coronation ; so that this solemn religious ecre loony will also be a grand military spectacle. The procession of his Majesty, however, from West minster Abbey to Westminster-hall, will not be a spectacle for pedestrians, as the whole of the pha llism upon uhich time procession moves is to be lined by u double file of Foot Guards, who are to stand upon a small platthrin, which is raised about three feet on each side. Behind those soldiers there is also to he u double file of cavalry. Lodgings in Dublin have risen full 50 per cent. since it was known that his Majesty would visit the capital of Ireland, and a royal box is preparing in the theatre, under the impression that his Ma jesty will honour it with his presence during his stay there! FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JUNI 28.—Yesterday his Majesty aßer Mass, held a Council of Ministers. Letters from Warsaw mention, that some persars have been arrested in that city, to which some im portance is attached. A number of German students have lately arrived at Vienna from the Universities, with the intention of proceeding to Turkey to join the Greeks, but their applications fbr passports were refused. In giving a list of the personages who will ac company the Duke de Grammont, recently ap pointed by the King to attend the Coronation of the King of England, we omitted to include h' the Viscount de Champagny, Colonel Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleine, and the Prince de Leon, Colonel Aide-de-Camp to the infant Duke de Bourdeaux. CONSTANTINOPLE:. JUNG 3.—We have little news: the capital is tranquil. The embargo, on foreign vessels laden with corn, continues. The Miri (Treasury) however pays in specie for every thing. The armaments are pursuing with all pos sible activity, especially in the arsenal department. We learn from Smyrna, under date of May 21, that the fanaticism of the Turkish populace has caused some disorders. The Porte his ordered Hassan, Pacha of Cesarea, to enter that town with his troops, to maintain tranquillity, and especially to protect foreigners. The Mufti has also enjoined the Ulemans of Stityr...a to be vigilant to the same end. Fortifications are erecting along the Bosphoru.. We have just officially learned the taking of Galatz. No fresh advices from the Morea. VILNNA, JUNE 16.—The Austrian Observer con tains the following details :—" According to official news from Bucharest, dated the 3d instant, the head-quarters of the Turkish army, which has en teral 14ridlashia, under the orders of fladschi A med Dacha, is at Colentina. These troops are waiting until joined by the Patella of I brail (who must ere this have entered Yassy), when the united corps will march against Ypsilanti, who appears to have in view to defimil his present position at Tergi, • wiseht ; his insnrgcnt force amounts to upwards of 10,000 men." Bucharest is occupied by only 500 Turkish tmuh•, commanded by Basch-Beschli-Zehir, who is an Al banian. The most perfect order reigns there. Ali the inhabitants, as well natives as foreigners, have been disarmed. lhe General has mused the heads of several of his Turkish soldiers, who endeavour ed to excite a disturbance, to be struck off. Ever/ one is treated with the greatest mildness, even those who are known to have been in intercourse with the rebels,provided no arms are found with them According to the report of an eye witness, Theodore Wiadimiresko, immediately after his ai rival at Pitescht, was surprised by Captain Jordak , arrested and conducted in chains, by a strong escort to Ypsilanti, ut Tergow•iu:ht. Private letters give very thlrerent accounts from those of the Austrian Glue, ver. The Greeks, say these accounts, who were taken at Bucharest, were impaled alive. The sight of this horrid death spread dismay through the town, but flight was then impossible. A heavy contribu tion was levied upon those who were suspected of favouring Ypsilanti. All the Greeks affirm that they do rot desire the intervention of Russia, and that they wish to effect their views themselves. Our Journals, which re • ceutly rLduced the forces of Ypsilanti to (300 met., now estimate them at '20,000. The preparations, both in the Abbey and West minster Hall, were on Thursday inspected by their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence and Glen cc: ter, the Bishop of Chester, and several of the Foreign Ambassadors; the latter were accompanied by Sir Robert Chester. Law A ItUANGEM:ENTS.--The Millill:StX sittings in the Court of Commons Pleas, idler the present term, arc postponed to October, in consequence of the preparations for the coronation at ►Vesuuinster ball ; where alone, by law, they can be held.— This is not the case with respect to the Court of King's Bench, which may sit elsewhere. It, how ever, has made a similar arrangement. The sittings for London commence on the day after term, and eon:Mita uninteruptcdly, until the causes be dis posed of: The 6;h, or Carbinecrs, now quartered in Cork, have received orders to proceed to Dublin, to attend the King, on his landing. His Majesty will change his dress three times during the ceremony 01 toe Coronation, for which purpose lie will retire to St. Edward's Chair, im mediately beyond the Altar, which has been fitted up for the purpose, and beyond which is a private retiring room. In this Chapel will be erected a small closet, called a inverse, in which will be placed a chair and iimtstool, for his Mak ivy's private devotions. From whence the name of traverse is derived has nut been clearly ascertained. I 104
