The meeting was exceedingly numerous. After the eight old members were put in nomi nation, Mr. STEPHEN CURTIS was proposed by Mr. Jacob, and s econ d e d by M r . Gibb s . DILLON stated to the Alderman that an elec tion had taken place two months ago for the repre sentation in his absence, mid the Select Vestry were disposed to take the rights of the inhabitants alto gether into their own hands, and would not be dis pleased at having an el e cti on with ou t voters , as well as without •an Alderman..

Mr. CRAWFALL wished to address a word to Mr. Hunter; that gentleman was one of the Commis sioner; of Sewers, and he (Mr. C.) regretted to be obliged to say that that body had neglected to at tend to the grievances of which the inhabitant householders of that Ward had to complain, relative to the wretched state of the sewers. Mr. HUNTER, in reply said that he never was absent from his post as Commissioner of Sewers. Mr. PECK shortly returned thanks. Mr. BLEADEN said, he could have wished that he had to addreSs them at an earlier period, for then he would have been higher on the poll, as he was well aware that upon the ensuing day he would attain such a situation as would leave him little doubt of his success. Mr. BRACHER having returned thanks, the Wald mote was dissolved. . Polling will commence at an early hour to• morro w. DOWGATE WARD—Returns 8. Alderman St:HOLEY. Forster . Price "Hepworth 2l Bennett 'Britten Kipling PORTSOKEN WARD. A Waidmote of the above Ward wai yesterday held at the Church of St. Botolph, Aldgate, for the election of five Common Councilmen for the ensuing year. Sir James Shaw, the Alderman er ►he Ward. presided. Mr. MANNING and Mr. SCALES, both by instances which they had personally experienced, spoke to the injurious tendency that the exclusive monopoly of the " Chartered Gas Company," and their being countenanced by the Corporation of London, had on the interests of the citizens. Mr. Manning said, that he held two houses, one without the city, and the other in it—for the latter his gas-light cost him at the rate of 4/. each burner, while in the former it was only 1/. 10s. Mr. SCALES said, that he lived at the extremity of the city, where 1 ,, a paid s'. for a light which was supplied on the other side of the street for 2/. I Os., by a Company who w ou ld supply it at the same rate in the City, if they were allowed to enter it. The cause of this, as he understood, was, that the Chartered Gas Company had made an abatement to the Corporation of 5,0001 , per an num, and assert that the . : supply gas for lighting the public streets at a much lower rate than they can manufacture it. This might he the fact ; but what was the co p se _ frence ? Why, that they had an exclusive mono poly, and to make up their ostensible loss, they might charge, and do charge, what they liked to the private individuals—and from him derive an intolerable profit. Some further cancers:Lion here ensiled ; after the close of which, the names of the candidates being' put one by one to the inhabitants, the Alderman de dared the choice as having fallen on their old repre entatives. Mr. PRICE demanded a poll on the part of Mr. Scales, which was seconded by Mr. Goulding; and, it being granted, Mr. SCALES proceeded to enumerate several in stances of dereliction of political piineiple, on the part of Mr. Carter—spoke of the Recorder - in severe terms, and concluded by saying, that his claim on the inhabitants for support, were his opposition to the establishment of abbatoirs, his endeay . mr to pull down the u!:constitutional system of selec:t vestries, manifest his gratitude by the faithful discharge of his duty.—(Applause.) Mr. FIGGIN3 had often addressed the Ward with pleasure, but never with so much pleasure as at that moment. He had charged Henry Hunt with having token away another man's wife, and turned away his own ; and he hoped the .Ward of Farringdon would not di.grace itself by electing such a man for its representathe.--(Applause and hisses, long continued.) Mr. TAYLOR next said a few words. Mr. GALLOWAY addressed the Meeting a t con siderable length. He said be had been accused of being concerned in jobs, but no accusation could be more unfounded. Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN said, the other candi dates who bad a right to address the Meeting, had waived that right in consequence of the great length of time the Meeting had been occupied. Mr. COMIETT having expressed his wish to de -dine, 110 hands were held up for him. Mr. Alderman Wa.riumAN declared that the elec tion had fallen on the sixteen persons first named. Mr. BARRETT called for a poll on behalf of Mr. Hunt. BISHOPSGATE WARD. The Ward Meeting fOr the election of Common Councilmen for this Ward was held at the New School House, in Peter -street, Bishopsgate, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided in the absence of Sir R. C. Glynn, the Alderman of the Ward. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON said, he came forward with considerable diffidence, his name at present being at the bottom of the list. The nature of his pretensions were already fully before the Ward. They had been printed and most extensively cir culated, and that he thought a more consistent mode of making known his opinions than by an oral address ; that statement would enable them to form an opinion as to the conduct of •the Common Calm. cil in by-gone days. Nine years had rolled over his head since he had the honour of representing them in the Court of Common Council ; and in conse quence of circumstances of a most important nature that hail since transpired, he was again induced to place himself before his countrymen in a public ca pacity. Ten years since he had attacked a gross abuse that existed in one of the civic offices, and he exerted every faculty of his mind and body to put an end to it. . He bad lifted up his hand to strike the wand of oppression from the hand of the op pressor. (Cheers.) It was, however, impossible ' to effect any reform under the present profligate system. They had heard the declaration of a gentle man who said he had bought the Devil, and would sell him at the bast price he could. - (Laughter.) Whether they elected him or not he would do all the good 'he could; and if they did not elect him, he should only regret he had not en opportunity of doing more. Mr. P. sat down amidst loud and tre mendous cheering. Mr. STEVENS, in justification of his colleagues, would observe that they had rendered every assist ance to Mr. Pearson iu prosecuting the inquiry he had instituted. He entirely approved of that gen. tleman's conduct. The other candidates severally addressed the Meeting, each of whom professed their determine. tion to remedy the abuses complained of by Mr. Charles Pearson. A show of buds was then taken, when . The LORD MAYOtt declared the election to have fallen on the following gentlemen : Mr. Warwick Weston Mr. William Stephens Mr. Nathaniel Clark M. John Dowler Mr. William Day Sir Wm. Bawling, deputy Mr. Jahtz Beynon Mr. Walter Peacock Mr. Thomas Windns Mr. Soloman Bennett Mr. T.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS (From the Gazette de France, dated Dec. 21.) BUCHAREST, Nov. is said that Count Dicbitsch has ordered all the regiments of cavalry to send agents to Russia to purchase horses, because the army is to be complete by the tat of January. The Russian Councillor, Taschkow z who has accused the inhabitants of the principalities of having caused the disasters of the Russian army by not furnishing i.he provisions required, set out for St. Petersburgh two days ago. There are three Russian Generals at Krajova, besides General Geismar: here we have 18, but they never appear in public in uniform. A truce of six months is spoken of here. The plague daily extends it s r avages , no t on l y in the city, but in the surrounding country. On the 18th above forty cannon passed Ursiezeny ; they were drawn by oxen which had been required from the inhabitants; the drivers said that they had been obliged to bury twenty pieces on the road for want of cattle to draw them. Large bodies of infantry have lately marched to Jassy, but we hare not yet seen any cavalry at Silistritt. The cannonade still continued, but faintly, on the 18th, because a corps of obss ration of 5 or 6,000 men were left before the ; fortress to cover the retreat. Count Langeron re turned from Silistria to this place two days ago with a great number of generals and staff-officers. A letter from Jassy says, that Count Wittgenstein arrived in that city with his S:aff on _the evening of the 20th. The other Generals who have command are also expected at Jassy to be, present at a Council of War which is to be held there. As all the magazines in Wallachia are exhausted, and as the Russian army is still 80,000 strong, only 30,000 or 40,000 will remain in this province during the winter; the remainder will be cantoned partly in Moravia, and partly in Bessarabia. However, our country is so exhausted, that it will not be able to maintain, by its own resources, as orders have been given, such a number of.troops without running the risk of famine.—Nuremburg Courier of War and Peace. (From the Message,. des Chambres of Dec. 20.) PARIS, DEC. 19.----The Courier of Smyrna, of the Bth of November, continues to announce that .r.ery thing is preparing to retake Varna. A camp of 60,000 men is going to be formed between Aidos and Suada, and some troops and 80 pieces of cannon have already been sent there. It will be under the command of Abdurarnan Pacha, late Governor of Bosnia. The coast of the 131ack Sea is going to be furnished with troops. Ten thousand men are already gone to invest and blockade Varna. The Turns are preparing for a vvinter campaign, and seem determined to carry it on ‘igorously; as for Ant, which will begin next spring, it may be expected that it will be t err ibl e, an d t h at Europe has perhaps never seen a more desprate and sanguinary contest. The Sultan will have in three m ont h s 40 0,000 men under arms ; not including the garrisons of ti.e fortresses; and all wi:l repeat these words, which he himself pronounced a few days ago 7" Honour and independence are worth more than life."

Efy *lntl LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1828 It will be seen by the Coutt Circular that the Queen of PORTUGAL was yesterday introduced to his MAJESTY at Windsor Castle. Her MAJESTY'S reception was highly flattering. The Kent Liberal dinner took place yester day, and was eminently characterized by temper, good sense, and respectability. Lord DARNLEY took the Chair, and in a speech, brief but per tinent, dwelt upon the eircumstances that took place at the late Penenden Heath Meeting, when the majority, though they were probably averse to Catholic Emancipation, were still moie averse, his Lordship added, to the institution of Brunswick Clubs. The Noble Chairman, at the same time, remarked, what in fact has never been denied, that the meeting itself was packed, and conse quently that it was no fair criterion of the sentiments of the Men of Kent. " Hired labourers," said his Lordship, " came for the occasion armed with bludgeons,"—a very effi- Cient method, it must be confessed, of ensuring conviction, and one well worthy of Brunswick ingenuity and moderation. • But the less we say of this unhappy fitetion the better; already it i 4 in the last stage of decrepitude, for even The Rev. Dr. FRY, that flower of the Orangemen, has become tranquil in England, and the Rev. Dr. HORNER in Ireland. It is said, in a French Paper, to be in agita tion to attack Algiers in the Spring, and that a new description of mortars is now in preparation at Toulon for the purpose.

OCT. 2.5.---In consequence of the arrival of the happy news of the conclusion of peace with the Re public of Buenos Ayres, the Emperor was pleased to order the city to be illuminated on the 24th and two following nights. RIO DE JANEIRO, OCT. 27. We, the Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil, &c., make known to all who shall see these present letters of confirmation, appro bation, and ratification, that on the 27th August, this year, was concluded and signed, in this city, a preliminary convention between us and the Re public of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, with the beneficent intention of putting an' end to the war which subsists between this Empire and that Republic, which convention "is of the following tenor. (The treaty, as already known, is here subjoined.) An official notice from the Minister of the Marine announces- that, peace having been concluded; all prisoners of war belonging to Buenos Ayres are to be considered as free and ready to return home, as sofin as an authorised agent of their Government is to receive them, meantime they are to remain in depot, as a measure of precaution, but not to be obliged to any labour. A notice from the Board r,f Trade announces the cessation of the blockade of the Rio de la Plata by the Brazilian squadron. • BUENOS AYRES, SEPT. The Briti*h Packet of this date contains the prin cipal articles of the Treaty of Peace. Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's, dated Buenos Ayres, Sept. 27 : It is expected that his Majesty's ship Heron will sail for Monte Video to-morrow or next day, with this Government's formal ratification of the preli minary Treaty of Peace, signed at Rio Janeiro on the 27th of August. The blockade is to be re moved I 8 hours after the ratification reaches Monte Video. All neutral vessels detained since the 27th ult. by die blockading squadron are to be imme diately liberated. RIO JANEIRO, OCT. 27.

The reports spread here are so numerous that - hey would soon fill a book, and so .contrsclietory that no reliance can be placed on them. Our only resource is the letters of merchants. One from Or soya, of Nov. 26, says, " The Governor of Wid din is reported to have sent several corps into Little Wallachia, which infest the rear of General- Geis mar, at Kalefat. The Pacha of Widdin has an nounced that the Russians hare been . obliged, by part of Hussein Pacha's army, to raise the siege of Silistria." European Officers have arrived in all the fortresses on the Danube, who are to take measured for strengthening the works which have already com menced, as far as the season will permit. VIENNA, DEC. 11.--Meta 951; Bank Shure►, 1,096. Letters from Berlin of the 13th inst. state, on the authority of news hoot St. Petersburgh, that the Russians are making immense prepara tions fbr the next campaign, in case that the Porte should not accede to the demands of NICHOLAS. Another .report prevailed in Berlin that a Congress will take place at Ancona, for discuss ing the affairs of the East. Gibraltar Chronicles to the sth inst. hare been received, by which we are glad to learn that the official Medical Reports are more favourable with respect to the Epidemic. On the 2d De cember 178 remained ill ; 12 were admitted, one died, 25 were under observation in the camp, and 13 officers were sick. This state of things continued with little change for a few days. By a subsequent arrival to the 9th, we regret to understand that a number of fresh cases made their appearance. The French Medical Surgeon had been attacked, as well as Colonel PAYNE, respecting whose recovery the worst fears were entertained. The long Prevalence of the Levant winds had been exceedingly against the health of the inhabitants. One of the private letters say, that they have not had a single day of winter yet. The Agent of LLOYD'S writes from Gibraltar, the 4th of-Dec. 1828, that by a letter receired from a Foreign Consul at Tangier, dated the 21st and received by a despatch boat to- day, our differences with the Moorish Govern ment are not likely to be amicably settled. The Consul General - DOUGLAS wished to quit Tan gier, but the Governor of that place had re fused him permission without a passport from the Emperor. The North Star, DELANO, of and from this port .to Leghorn, has been de tained by a Spanish privateer, and carried into Mahon. Mr. lion NER has written a letter to a Morning Paper, contradicting the report of his having received any money from a Banking-house in the City for carrying on the Collosseum.

Java Gazettes of 19th August have been received, which are three days later than those we had before. There had been some trifling engagements ; on the 9th of August, 290 auxiliaries from Tidoree, sent by the Sultan, arrived at Semarang. In order to give the auxiliary troops of the Sultan of Boeton, lately landed at Satnarang to the number of 700 men, an idea of the superiority of European arms and discipline, they were made witnesses of a grand review on the 7th of August ; the firing of the two lines of the artillery excited in the highest degree the admiration of these auxiliaries. Most of them had never before quitted their own country, and this is the first time that the allies of Celebes send troops to the Government of the Netherlands to fight...for it out of their - own country. This is considered ns a proof of the increasing respect arid attachment en joyed by the Government of the Netherlands in the . Indian Archipelago. FRANKFORT, DEC. 14.
