A Cmirt n( Aldermen was held on Titestfay, at which the Lord Mayor presided, and the Aldermen present were, Sir Wm. Curtis, Bart.; Sir J. nutter, KM.; Sir James Shaw, Bart.; J. J. Smith, Esq.; C. Smith, E-q.; Sir %m. Boni- Mlle, Bart.; George Scholey, Esq.; Matthew Wmni, EFri ; George Bridget, Esq.; William Heygate, Esq.; R. A. Cox, Esq.; Robert Waithinan, Esq.; and Richard Bothwell, Esq. Mr. Alderman Bothwell entered into the usual recugui sauces to serve the °Rice of Sherif. The regular business of the Court having been gone through, Alderman SCHOLVY roar. and in a short speech proposed a very blebly-flattering vote of thanks to the Hight Hon. the Lord Mayor, for his great care and activity in pre serving the peace of the City, on the occasion of the late meetings in Smithfield. Mr. Alderman Iterfitwgir, thought the proposed vote by no means adequate to the occasion, mid not sufficietitly ex pressive of the high sense the Court must feel of the wisdom and vigour exhibited by Ms Lordship un the occasion a ed to, and proposed a more highly eompliiiieistary Resolu tion, in which his Lordship vas particularly thanked for the decisive measure of causing the arrest of Harrison, during the time the meeting was assembled. Sir JAMS/ SHAM/ thought, as there was likely to he much difference of opinion as to the wording of each of the Hew lotions, it would be notch better to adopt the middle course, and propose such a vole of thanks as every member of the Court could concur is ; as a moderate vote of thanks car ried unanimously would be much inure complimentary to his Lordship than one inure highly coloured, and carried b y a small majority. The worthy Ilirimet then moved a vote of thanks to his Lordship fur his conduct on the occasion, men. boned, couched in moderate but flattering terms of appro. ►at ion. _ _ This was objected to by the Aldermen Cox and flittheas, as not sufficiently plinientary to his Lordship, nor strongly expressive of the opinion of the Court ; but on be ing put to the vote, passed unanimously. Mr. Alderman WOOD fleeOrli to know from the Lord Mayor whether any and Want steps had been taken by his Lordship respecting the horrible plat for burning the city and murdering the inhabitants, which his Lordship had communicated to the Court of Cuminon Council; and whe ther any of the Incendiaries, whom his Lordship had stated held their meetings near the Guildhall, had yet been appre hended. Mr. Alderman Cox thought it quite disorderly and im proper to make any such inquiries; the communication was made to the Court of Common Council, soil his Lordship ought not lu he called upon to answer questions as to any thing that look place in another Court. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN contended that the inquiry was perfectly correct and in order; lime fears and apprehensions of the citizens had been cousillerably alarmed by the commu nications which Iris lordship slated hail been made un oath, mid it was highly siert-nary some further eaplanstion should be given. If there MRS no real ground fur alarm, the feelinp of the peupie had hers unnecessarily sported with. Mr. Alderman WOOD initiated, that some conuounication nu this aubject ought to be made; there could uo initiro- prissy in the Lord Mayor's making known to his brother Magistrates inforniati .... received by him on oath, upon a subject which so nearly concerned them all, no well as every iiihabitaist of Ow city over which they presided. „ . The Lord Mayor, however, though repeatedly premed, both by Alderman Wood cud Alderman Waithoms, main tained a solemn silence. This bossism* heist: at length dropped, the Lotto MAYOR addressed the Court, and said, he had a complaint to make against one of the Magistrates of the City, for what he con sidered a high breach of his duty, feuding to disgrace the Magistracy, and degrade 11w office of Chic( Magistrate ; be these named Mr. Alderman Waithman. His Lordship proceeded to stair, that his Complaint against the worthy Alderman was, that afire he (the Lord Mayor) had dissolved the last Common Hall, the Alderoma threw uff Ins gown, Souk the Chair of the Meeting, and iodated the persons assembled to agree and pass Resolution* de. grading to him in Isis magisterial rapacity. If ands a pm. teeding was legal soil props'', it was altogether useless and unnecessary to p 1 retpilsitioui to the Lord &lapse, as the Chief Magistrate; as the Livery might hold C.usteson Halls without his presence. Surfs aodret , he conceived; would not meet the %auction of that Court. He considered that after the fiatl was dissolved by Ole Lord Map*, the proteedimg to further bashes* was illegal, that die Meeting was an unlawful assembly, and that the Chief Me. giatrate would benignant to reading the Riot Act. He had also another complaint to make against the worthy Alder was for his conduct while lilting as a Magistrate is the Jail iice.rtiont at Guildhall. A fellow of the name of Blocks, who bad been an officer of the city, but whom hr (the Lord Mayor) had discharged, ap plied to the Alderman fur a summons against him to appear and answer for his conduct in the Court of Common Council, at a Common Hall; me which °eras' he worthy Ablrrniaa had utlertil )i )) ions degrading to she high office he now held insinuating that the Lord Mayo► might he brought to isti ewer before the ailing Alderman, and in the Common Hall ; recommending the fellow at the same lime to make his com plaint so she Livery at she sarxt Common Hall. His Lind ship conclnded with olsserving, that he considered such con. disci degrading to the high sisnation he held, and had, there. fore, felt it his duty to submii it to the judgment aod con sideration of she Court. A long altercation ensued u to the manner of proceeding to be adopted ; at length Sir William Curtis proposed a re- Notation, reciting the facts as serrated by his Lordship, mid concluding with a reference of the whale to the law officers, with instructions to search (or preceiktits. This proposition was strongly supported by the Aldermen Cut, Hrygate, Scholey, mud Rothrell. . . Mr. Alderman WAIYHXAIr at !Mirth Mee for the purpose of defending his modest.. ; assd in s apses* of gemsl laugh contended, that the complaint against bins had no reference whatever to his magisterial capacity; that the Common Hall was a meeting of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery, but that as soon as his Lordship directed the mace to he re. moved, and quitted the Chair, the meeting was no longer a Common Hall, hut a tweeting of the Livery only ; that he thee threw off his gown, and acted in hie capacity of a liveryman alone. With respect to his taking the Chair, and introducing the Resolutions that were agreed to, hundreds of Liverynieu who were present knew that be wished In have avoided oak. ing the Chair, and did his utmost to decline it ; but he felt the duty imperative upon him, when elected by the Meeting. It was also matter of notoriety that he did not altogether ap prove of the wording of the Resolutions ; and that be had been charged with partiality, and his euiiihiet publicly found fault with for the disapprobation he had shewu. However much he might have declined taking the Chair on that occasion, he still contended, the Livery, when assembled, had a clear and legal right to discuss their grievances in the Common Hall ; and that the cir cumstance of his being a Magistrate did not deprive him of the possession or exercise of that right in common with every liveryman ; and that without his gown be acted as a liveryman only. There wan no necessity to search for precedents: similar cases were well known and re membered, and had been of frequent occurrence. Alderman J. J. Smith, who was now present, had done precisely the !tame, under similar circumstances; after the the■ lord Mayor had quilled the Hall, he took off his gown and acted as Chairman to the Meeting that remained.— Alderman Comlie upon another occasion engaged to do the like, and would have taken the Chair, but that the then Lord Mayor hail prudence enough not to dissolve the Hall. On the occasion alluded to, the Livery had previonsly presented a requisition to his Lordship for a Common Hall, on the subject of the new taxes; and although in different parts of the country meetings had been held for that purpose, the Lord Mayor refused the requisition; and when the business was attempted to be brought forward at a subsequent Common Hall, he instantly dissolved the Hall. On the late occasion he did the same, mid if the Livery could not obtain a Cow ma, Hall, and were denied the privilege of discussing their grievances when assembled, they were denied a right common to all Euglishmeu, and compelled to assemble in the open street, and liable to be ckilown by the soldiery as had been dune elsewhere. Ha was raisely careless what ante they ineght choose to puss; no vote they could come to would degrade him; lie uas ready on all occasions publicly to defend his conduct; but if they came to a vote at the suggestion of some alagistrates, with regard to the rights of the Li very, over which they had no control, they might degrade themselves, but certainly out him. Rut be would ask, was it decorous for them, a close Court and secret conclave of Ma. gistrates, to take npon themselves to call io question the right of a Liveryman, exercised at a meeting of the Li very at large? With regard to the second complaint, he "really thought it too contemptible for much notice ; had the Lord Mayor brought the Newspapers to the Court, for it was hum them, he supposed, he had got his information, he would hare that there was no ground of complaint. He hail not the slightest intimation of any such application being about to be made; the man applied to him just as he was (wiling the chair; be told him he could nut interfere, hut lie supposed if the Lord Mayor bad done any thing illegal he was amenable fur it as well as another man, but that his charge would be more properly made at the Com mon Hall. He could have nu serious intention of imputing Liam* to the Lord Mayor, and treated the whole business es trilling and absurd. _ _ _ The worthy Alderman again alluded to the former charge, and pointed out several instances in which the right had been exercised by the Livery, and particularly to the case of the Lord Mayor Turner, who, no Midsummer day, was tom pelted to admit the right. The worthy Alderman cuucluilod with observing, that My depriving the people of their legal and constitutional right of discussing their grievances, they were driven to tumultuous meetings, and the v•-•y evil was produced which was the cause of their apprehensions. A Iderms• J. J. Sum* corroborated the Alderman's state. meat : be had take, the chair afters Hall was dissolved ; be took off his gown, mud considered himself actin uuly as • Liveryman. Mr. Aldermen WOOD declared there were se►eral similar instances. In the Mayoralty of Alderman Scholey, Sir W. Rawlins had taken the Chair after the Lord Mayor had quitted the Hall. He strougly contracted against may inter. ferenre wills the rights of the Livery, and particularly repro bated the were mintier in which this bruises, had beets brought forward without •oy previous' notice, and at a time when the Alderman complained of might have heeu unpre pared to shew any precedes* for his conduct. He observed that there was not now • Court (Sir James Shaw retired be fore the business came ova, aed Sir John Earner having pee to his duty at the Justice-room), and be should break up the meeting. [While Alderman Wood was um his legs, Sir W. Curtis had sent out fur Sir John Earner. who quickly at. tended the summons.] Mr. Alderman WooD was greatly indignant at this fiction stance, and, persisting in big intention of breaking sup the Court, left the room, and was followed by other Aldermen, and the Court was accordingly broken up without coining to any decisiou upon the queadou.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. MELANCHOLY EFFECTS OF FEMALE QUACKERY. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Thursday, at Skinner's-alley. by Leotard MacNally, Esq. on the body of a well-conducted female, of the name of Esther Hanlon. who, it was supposed, had died by the adminiitration of poison. The following circumstances appeared in evi dence :—That she had been for many months in a feeble and declining state, owing to a complaini in her stomach ; that at chapel, a few days ago, she met with a female doctress, who profeml to cure her fur a small sum, to which she assented ; that witness attended her to the ductress. who appointed to meet her in Montague -street, where she admi nistered some green leaves, infused in a glass of spirits (of which preparation she kept a bottle in her pocket), with an injunction to attend daily for nine days, at the sane place. to repeat the dose; that witness attended with her on the second morning, when she complained to the doctress that site ap prehended the medicine was too strong, as it had purged her violently, and caused much reaching to vomit; that the doctress, nevertheless, administered a second dose, which again produced the same effects, and increased her weakness to such II degree, as to make it indispensable to take a car to convey her to her lodgings, and as soon as she attained her room, site died without a struggle. Doctor Bible was called in and gave the following testimony on oath :—" Having examined t h e body of Esther Hanlon, inquired into the circumstances connected with her death, and heard the evidence; I am of opinion, that she did not die as supposed by the use of any acute or narcotic poison; but that, in a state of extreme debility, she died by the injudi cious administration of an over-dose of medicine, disproportioued to her weakness.". DEBUN POLICE. COLLIOII.MtVT O//IC!. A respectable Lady, and of an independent fortune, named Thompson, applied yesterday to the Sitting Magistrates of this of f ice, soliciting their interference in a business of the highest consequence, as she declared, to her peace of mind. Sbe stated, that about thirteen years ago she bad con ceived a strong affection fur a relative's infant daughter, then six weeks old, and with the eonseut of bulb father and mother, took her at the time under her protection, and adopted her as her own. That up to the present period she attended to her with all the leader solicitude of a fund mo ther' and designed to make her heiress to all she had, which, she declared, would moonlit to a considerable property. the parents, however, withont any apparent cause, inveigled the girl home a day ur two ago, contrary to her and now withhold her from all communication with her adopted mother. Some proposals hail been insinuated by friends of the parents, that their consent to restore the girl to her protection might be obtained for the valuable consi deration of 3001. This suni she would not hesitate to pay, if by doings° she could obtain an indisputable right to her sole possession. Sbe could not live without her, and would accede to any terms rather than lose the darling object of her every wish. The Lady excited the conipa.eiion of all who witnessed the pungency of her feelings; and the Ma gistrates humanely promised to interpose with the parents towards au amicable adjustment of this very delicate busuurss. All further inquiry was postponed to twelve o'clock this day. PRICE OF IRISH STOCKS, SErravarß 11.
