_Garratt Election.--Proclamation issued by the Mayor of Garratt_.--Whereas _his_ Majesty, the King and Queen, _is_ expected to honour this ancient Corporation with _his_ presence, in their tour to Coxheath; in order to prevent his Majesty from no impediment in his journey, the worshipful the Mayor and Bailiff, has thought proper the following regulations should be prohibited as following:--Nobody must not leave no dirt, nor any thing in that shape, before the doors nor shops. And all wheelbarrows, carts, dunghills, oyster-shells, cabbage-stalks, and other four-wheeled carriages, must be swept out of the streets. Any one who shall fail of offending in any article, shall be dealt with according to law. J. DUNSTAN, _Mayor_. _Punishment of Death._--The _Morning Herald_ of the 14th states--"We have it on the authority of one who heard the fact from a member of the Privy Council, (at present a Cabinet Minister,) that he frequently saw George the Fourth in a state of extraordinary agitation at the meeting of the Council, when the fate of a criminal was under consideration. He would contend the matter with the ministers and leave the table, and lean sometimes on the chimney-piece, advocating the cause of mercy, until overruled by his responsible advisers." _Erratum in the Washington "Globe."_--For "Bumbleton's storm destroying porringers," read "Hamilton's worm-destroying lozenges." _Plain Sermons._--Bishop Heber has the following sensible remark in his Journal of Travels:--"I am, on the whole, more and more confirmed in the opinion which Horsley has expressed in one of his Sermons, that a theological argument, clearly stated in terms derived from the English language exclusively, will generally be both intelligible and interesting to the lower classes. They do not want acuteness, or power of attending; it is their vocabulary only which is confined, and if we address them in such words as they understand, we may tell them what truths we please, and reason with them as subtlely as we can."
