BOARD OP ALDERMEN AND COMMON COUNCIL. I CONTESTED ELFCTIIONS. In our report, yesterday, of the evidence pro duced on the part of the Petitioners from the Guild of Merchants, we emitted stating, that cer tain objections were advanced against Define Dui geuan, at the time he tendered his vote. The Learned Doctor, it seems, bad been a free carpen ter since the year 1799, he had nevertheless voted for a candidate in the Guild of Merchants. By - the statute, as we mentioned yesterday, he was clearly imcnmpeteat to do so. Mr. Gt rr Aan pronounced an eloquent panegyric upon the Learned Dodo,. as the best friend ever Ireland had, as the strenuous advocate for the Constitution, in Church and State, end soforth. A Member at the bottom of the Hall denied the conclusion , as sufficient to belie at once the turgid compliments that had been paid to that perion, he should only state 9ne fail, Doslor Duigenan voted for the Union. The conversation being irrelevant, the docu ments were called for, to shew that the Learned Dodnr received bis freedom in the Guild of Car penters in .99, and that be was afterwards made free of the merchants. The roll was accordingly produced, and the fad established. Alderman Thorpe was called on the part of the Petitioners. He declared, that he heard the Master, Mr, Nugent, assert, that although he had received the Learned Dodoes ballot. he bad his doubts of its validity. The worthy Alderman referred those doubts to the knowledge that he (Mr. Nugent) pee. seised of the fad of Dodor Duigenaa's being previ ously a Member of the Carpenter's Corporation. This statement, if substantiated, would have the tendency of rendering all the returns illegal, and of course of sending back the Merchants to a new election. Alderman Cash gave a very fair and manly tes timony. He said he was present at the conversa tion which occurred after Dr. Ditigenan had tender ed his ballot. He understood the Master to mean , that Dr Duigenan, nct having paid his fees on his entering the Guild, was not competent to vote. This testimony went entirely to alter the tenden cy of Alderman Thorpe's evidence. Mr. Allen, the Town Clerk, proved, that, at the time that Dr. Duigenan came forward to vote. his fees were demanded from him—that Mr. Nugent hesitated about accepting his vote in consequence— that he (Mr. Allen) advised the Master to receive it, lest the Dodos should he bringing them before the King's Bench. He suggested to the Master, that the Dodor not having paid his fees, was not a sufficient cause for rejecting his vote—that in conse quence the Bodor's ballot was received, and that no objedien was started at the rime against him, on the ground that he, the Learned Do tor, was previ ously a free carpenter. This testimony was received with great satisfac done as it cleared the Master from the amputation of partiality. After a variety of arguments, conversations, ob jections, and replies, which it would be tiresome to repeat—it 'was at length moved that the Petitioners failed to substantiate the allegations contained in the petitions. The 'notics was carried, and the Respondents, of course, fixed in their seats. Alderman Hose moved, that the thanks of this Assembly be given to Mr. Nugent, the Master of the Corporation of the Guild of Merchants, for his 'fair, koneurahle, and upright conduit at ail times, and particularly en the late occasion. The motion being seconded, it was received with 'very general approbation, and carried without a die ,seating voice. Mr. Nuoncr rose to thank the Assembly. Un used as be was to lie under an imputation, even for an hour, it would be difficult to desiribe Ow pain he experienced, while a charge so gross as that insinu ated in the petitions was suspended over him. He was known to all who heard him, and to the city of Dublin, as a Citizen and as a Civil Officer. He bad risked his life, and exposed his property, when the peace of the country was menaced, and if occasion should occur again, he trusted he should not be found in the rear of the danger. As a Municipal Officer, it was not becoming in him to speak—his condo& in that capacity was recent in the recollec tion of the House. With the feelings he bad de scribed, and with the principles he should be ever found to ad upon and profess, he could not find words, and scarcely utterance, to convey an idea of the 'Offering he endured, when an imputation so gross, nay be would say so infamous, was cast upoa him, as that which the petitions sought to have substantiated. He concluded by hoping that the mark of approbation bestowed on him that day would lead to higher city honours, TAILORS' PETITION. A number of tailors petitioned against the present representatives of their body, upon the ground of bribery. entertainments, and undue influence. Mr. CUINNISS ) on the part of Petitioners, con fined himself to a brief statement of the case; but as his statement was not substantiated, we do not feel it incumbent upon us to follow the learned and highly respedable banister. A number of tailors were called to the allegations of the Petitioners, by every one of whom they were flatly and roundly contradiiled. It was then moved, that the Petition was hien lens and vexatious. The motion was carried in the atfinnative, and the seat of the sitting Members se cured to them of course. SIIOEMAKERS' PETITION. Upon the debate and trial of this Petition, as con taining a good deal of very novel and singularly interesting matter, we will reserve a report until to-morrow.

The numerous, daring, and alarming footpad robberies, which have lately been committed in•the sieighbourhood of Havant and Emsworth, having caused a considerable sensation in the public mipit, we are requested to state the following particulars from authority : The melancholy fate of Capt. Sargaant, followed by the destmaion of the murderer Allem. it was hoped would, however dearly purcbased, have freed the country from the alarm occasioned by this new and dangerous mode of depredation; but in this erpeflation we have been unfortunately disappointed.' for, about a fortnight since, Mr. Brent, living at. Portsea, was stopped on the turnpike-mad between Havant and Entsworth, by a footpad, wrapped up in a loose great coat. and armed with a gun, who robbed him of what money he had about him. A few days subsequently the assistant of Mr. Hicks, Surgebn at Havant, was stopped near the same place, by a persists answering to the above description, who de manded his money, but Sot happening to have any about him, be was suffered to pass on. On Thursday, the 17th inst. Madgewick, a baker, living at Ha van, was stopped between five and six o'clock the evening, on the same road, about a quarter of a mile from Havant, and, apparently. by the same person, who robbed him of 14s. About an hour afterwards, a clock.rnaker. of the name of Avenel, who resides near Emsworth, was attacked near the mile -stone, between Emsworth and Havan, and robbed of a clock. which he was carrying on his arm ; and not being so ready to part with it and his money, u the robber wished, he was severely beaten and wounded by the villain, and his pocket cut of. He soon atter robbed another person of what money he had about him. The three last . mentioned robberies being commited in so short a space of time, in one evening, caused a considerable sensation in the neighbouring towns of Havant and Emsworth. At the latter place, on the alarm being given, the Corps of Volunteers immediately turned out and scoured the neighbouring country, but without pny success as to the principal °bled of their pursuit. On Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, Mr. Tribe, a respectable farmer at Lordington, near Stanstead, about four miles from Emsworth, on his return frum market, near his own •house, was suddenly' fired at by some ruffian, by which his horse was se verely wounded. He narrowly, but happily escaped injury, though sir slugs were discharged at him. A few days previous to this, Mr. Knight was robbed of his watch and money, near Sir Harry Feather stonehaugh's, at Up-park. l'he country being thus infested, and travelling having become really thin serous, the Magistrates resident in the neighbourhood of Havant, felt it their duty to resort to strong and alive measures, to endeavour to deted the of fenders, and to deliver the country from the evil. Accordingly they met on Monday last, at Havant, and convening together the Constables an! Peace OFficrts of the adjoining parishes, invested them With proper authority to search for and apprehend all snspened persons, and all idle and disorderly persons whatever, in their respeEtive distrids, espe cially all such persons who may be fOnr.d on Ems worth Common, Havant Thick•t, and the cur rounding Forest. Teo much praise cannat be given to the Peace-Officers and Volunteers of Ems worth, and others who assisted them on this occa sion. But it is much to be regretted that their exer • tions, during the day. and the whole of the tight, were not attended with the desired effea. They apprehended many persons, chiefly vagrants and pedlars, who being brought before the Ma gistrates, the next morning, and nothing appearing to criminate them as to the robberies, they were adnsonihhed to quit their present way of life, and were discharged on their promising to do so. Se veral other persons, suspected charaeters, were also taken up, but no proof of their guilt appearing, they were required to find sureties for their good behaviour, which they did. Some others (among whom are persons named Witham Sm‘rt and Smith) against whom suspicion was more strong, are remanded by the Rev. Mr. Norris, for further examination, at the Dolphin Inn, at Havant, on this day, when it is hoped the persons who have been robbed will attend. As the spirit of the country is routed, and all ranks are on the alert. resolved to perwvere in the most naive exertions, we have every hope that the gang of villains (for there is no- doubt but they are formed into a gang) will vary shortly be brought to justice...-.A subscription is entered into to reward those who have exerted themselves, and who have lost their time upon this occasion.
