A novelty' in the history of civic entertainments occurred yesterday.

Lord Mayor Johnson spread his hospitable board for the entertainment of the nume- rous sevens connected with the various literary institutions of the Metropolis, and other distinguished literary men, British and Foreign, titled and untitled: by the number in attendance the invitations seem to have been promptly accepted. In reply to some remarks on the novelty of the assemblage, the Lord Mayor stated that his mind had been occupied for months past with the subject I—the enter- tainment had only been delayed till the most convenient season had occurred.

The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes have adopted measures to prevent the apprehended disfranchisement of the Marylebone electors.
