The question on Mr..oldham's motion for granting 500 guineas was here loudly called for, and put by the -Recorairrostill aimed to unanimously. THE COMMON SERGEANT. The requisition to consider the circumstances of the memorial presented to the Court of Aldermen by several members of the Court, upon an old bye-law, against the late election of Mr. Denman as Common Sergeant, was then read. Mr. OLDHAM addressed the Court at some length thereon and concluded with moving for a committee to be appointed to investigate the same, and where there are any other by-laws affecting the right of the Court on the election of their (Akers, and to report. Mr. SLA' seconded the motion. Mr. Deputy Saunders, Mr. Dixon, Mr.Favell, Mr. Crooke, Mr. Alderman Waithmau, and several other membees'spoke, and the motion was agreed to. and a committee of the Aldermen present, and a Commoner, from each Ward, eppointed accordingly. ' The Loki Marne - laid before the Court the resignation of Mr. James Wontner, of the office of Upper Marshal, which was accepted. Mr. Neville.

So far as that Court was concerned, he felt no pain. Whatever difference of opinion might exist amongst them on other occasions, the Court was always men to impressions of charity, to which their records bore ample testimony; for it appeared that in the last forty-nine years the Court had voted sums to the amount of 04,0(41. in relief of distress (hear, hear); and it would not be denied that the distress of their brethren in Ireland had ati strong a claim on their feelings as any other distress cottld have. The existence of that distress was so notorious, that it was unnecessary tom any thing in proof of it, and impossible to heighten the reality.— lie would nut stop to enquire whether it proceeded from bad government, bad landlords, or bad crops, when it was known that 10,000 persons were striving to support existence by eating the bark of trees, wandering over the fields in quest even of weeds to prevent them front ex piring, and dying in the ditches of actual starvation ; and what was even worse than all this, a pestilence was arising from this famine, the probable ravages of which presented a Itid.ons prospect. (Hear.) He felt himself in • the Windsor the Court as to the sum which it would be cirj a a= vitembetweit sitia anpublkial ,diairess. tirialmt,/ , ' that by proposi4 the soul . at AP guineas It veraild probibly be &named. • Alderman ifirwastes said, that being one of the Lon don comeniuee for assisting Ireland, he ktsew more of the distress that existed there than litany others and could state with certainty, that the peasantry in the West and South were in a state of actual starvation. From the wretched state of thepeasautry there, it was not unusual that they were unable to procure salt with their potatoes, hen new they were without potatoes, and were actually perishing for want of Toed. He hop ed 'his friend wooli amend his motion, and propose 10001. , —(ltere were sonic cries of " hear," but " no," peedoessinated.).- - The worthy Alderman said, h e no, hoped whatever •vras given would be given with un otiosity. Mr. Favat.t. said, it had generally been his friend's (Mr Oldhatier) task and his to oppose the expenditure of the funds of the Corporation, but on the present or-- c scot) all must feel thenecessity of relieving the distresses of the suffering Irish. But he could not help obseivoss, that the present sufferings of the Irish appeared to come ~ 1 1 his Majesty's Ministers as if they were aw kened from a trance: they ought to have known the growing misery of the people, and to have made provision Mist it. "'FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. . VIENNA, Mat 4.—We know nothingof the affair." ef Turkey. The Court publishes nothing. At the Exchange many reports of peace and war are cireu ' fated. We expect with the greatest impatience intelligence from St. Petersburgh, which would put aside all uncertainty. Mr. Gordon, the English Charge d'Affaires, has had within a few days past several conferences; with the Prince de Metternich. and has sent off a courier to London. We have received no accounts from Constanti nople, subsequent to the 17th of April. At that period the Turkish army was still receiving new reinforcements front Aaia, but these troops remained in the environs of Co' nstantinerle. Tlie Turkish fleet commanded by the Capt:in Pacha, Ali Bey, was to have proceeded to the Black Sea, but his destination was suddenly changed, in consequence of the insurrection at Scio. The Grand Seignor sent positive orders to Ali Bey, to put down the rebels at Scio, and to annihilate the Greek navy; but the Turkish vessels are not completely equipped, and are badly armed Compelled to sail, Ali Bey proceeded to Galtipol to complete his equip ment. There are some thousand troops ins board, for the purpose of effecting a debarkation. FIAKSUROU, MAT 10 —We have received from the banks of the Truth, accounts dated the 21st of April, containing the important intelligence that the second Russian army had received for the se- 1 , cond time orders to hold themselves in readiness to march • the third order will fix its destination. — The march; was expected at Bessarabia. LAUSANNE, MAY 10.—The Government of the Canton of Western Switzerland have received new summonses, not to suffer the residence in their ter. ritories of any foreigner proscribed, or a fugitive on account of political offences. The ministry of a great power has declared to the Swiss, that if they are not more correct in future in satisfying the de mands addressed to them in this respect, it will be obliged to adopt such measures as circumstances , may render expelieut. Ite Canton has agm.. Alderman C. S►ttTH stated, that a bill bad Wen brought into the Hohse. of Commons last night, to grant 20,0001. w be applied to the employment of the distressed in Irebod. He thought a grow. of 500 patinas from that Court, in relief of their distress, wonkl be ample. Mr. JAMES said he was anxious the Court should be unanimous in the grant they wade. Mr. TAYLOR said the closes of the distress should be enquired into. It was the complaint of this country that we had a surplus of corn, part of which came from Ire land. The true cause of the distress was a bad govern ment, and a system of jobbing and plunder, that existed Irons one eond of that unfortunate couttify to the other.— Ile was satisfied that the people of liogland felt more for the pt . ople of Ireland than the great men of that country. —All meir public institutions were supported by parlia mentary grants. 1.01 by subscriptions of landlords; and the Hoglish landlords, thought alisentees. were much better than the Irish—willies* Eirl Fitzwillirm. (Hear.) Alderman liitowara hoped it would be the object of all to promote: the good work before diem, and deprecated political speeches, which would do wore berm man good. Mr. SLAIn said all must agree in the necessity of allotting ciliate relief to Ireland. But it would be also of the greatest adtantage to that injured country to rugn•re wbriltem it tt•as not the bad goternment ill 600 years that was the real cause of ail her sulk' togs.
