MAYORALTY ELECTION.
A Special Court of Aldermen was held this day,
for the purpose of receiving the Sheriffs' report respecting
the election of Lord Mayor. At 11 o'clock the Lord Mayor
critered the court, and "was soon afterwards joined by the
body of Aldermen. Several papers relating to the To'acre
Mining Company, and the trials which took place in Ireland
on the subject were read. After a few observations from
Mr. Alderman Copeland, Mr. Alderman Wood deft nded
himself from the imputations which had been cast upon
him, an" said that the papers which bad been pre-
sented hero out all the allegations which he had
made. It was moved by Mr. Alderman Challis, that
the subject be referred to a committee, upon which a
lengthened discuasion arose, in the course of which Al-
derznen Sydney and Moon requested of Mr. Alderman Wood
to postpone his claims for the present year.—Mr. Alder-
man Wood said that he had no objection to an im-
partial inquiry • but he feared that, with the preju-
dices entertained against him by the Court of Alder-
' men, he conld not expect that. He was willing to sub-
mit his C any two honourable men of the city of Lon-
don 'gamily with the Court of Aldermen. Alderman
Copeland m,.101, as an amendment, that the names of those
who had sign,,l the former report against Alderman Wood
should he lett out of the new committee. Ile hid
heard from Mr. Alderman Wood that he would
submit to an investigation. The amendment was
lost by a majority of eight to two ; upon which Mr.
Alderman Humphery moved that the Court proceed to
receive the Sheriffs' report. This amendment was also lost
by a majority of ten to five. Alderman Copeland then called
for a division of the Court, when it appeared that the fol-
lowing Aldermen were for referring:the papers to a c immittee:
Aldermen Kelly, Copeland, Sir P. Laurie, Sir J. l)uke, Sir
C. Hunter, Moon, and Challis ; and the following for pro.
ceeding to receive the Sheriffs' report: Aldermen Hum-
phery, Wilson, Ma nay, Gibbs, Farebrother, Hughes. and
Sidney. The Lord Mayor having given bis casting vote in
favour of proceeding to election, the Court did so. At a
quarter-past three o'clock, the civic procession ascended
the hustings, when the learned Recorder declared that the
choice of the Court of Aldermen had fallen on Sir George
Carroll, to fill the office of Lord Mayor, for the ensuing
year.

POLICE.
WORSIIIP-STREET.—ASSA: LTING 111 F P.. 1.1( r.—Mr.
George Irrekes, a master stone-mason, was charged with
obstructing and assaulting the police-cot stable in the execu-
tion of his duty.—Policeman l iH G stated, that he was on
duty yesterday afternoon at about two o'clock, in Old-street,
St. Luke's, when he observed, a short distance off, a man
suddenly fall to the ground. Ile hastened to his assistance,
and, whilst he was helping the individual up, his ears were
assailed with the most opproprion.s epithets proceeding from
the prisoner, and directed towards him (the policeman).
Perceiving, however, that the person was the worse for
liquor, he, for the present, took little or no notice of what
he said, but requested him to go home. This admonition was,
however, disregarded by the prisooer, who continued TO.
miting forth language of the foulest description, and
he at length struck him a violent blow on the head. A
brother constable came up at the time, and the prisoner was
taken into custody. The prisoner, in answer to the magis-
trate (Mr. Bingham), said that he certainly must acknow-
ledge that he had been taking too much liquor ; he had been
twenty-five years in business ; would rather assist the police
than otherwise, and would defy any one to sac that he bad
ever before given them the slightest trouble. )fr. Bingham.
—tinder the circumstances, you must pay a fine of is. Thi.,
perhaps, will operate as a warning to you.
Charles alibi, a labourer, from the Emerald Isle, with
"brawny shoulders. four feet square." was also charged with
assaulting the police. Police-constable 97 G, stated that at
about •i o'clock this morning he was on duty in Brick-
lane, when, hearing a noise, he hastened towards
the place whence it proceeded. and saw four persons,
who were making it, standing at the corner of
a steet. Ile desired them to proceed quietly to their homes.
Instead of which, however, he was saluted by the prisoner
with a tremendous blow in the neck, which he (the police-
man) was still labouring under the effects of. Another con-
stable coming up at the time, however, the prisoner was
secured.—The prisoner, in answer to a question from Mr.
Bingham, said that they had had a few pots of beer, but
were quite sober, and that they were merely standing out of
the rain. They were talking, but their conversation could
not be heard at four yards distance.—Two of the prisoner's
witnesses havisto said that they were not talking at all, Mr.
Bingham replied that he cauld not conceive it possible that
four Irishmen, in perfect good humour with each other,
could be very silent. There was no doubt in his mind that
they were making a ~scat noise. The rest of persons at
night mast not be disturbed, and it was the duty of the
Police to protect it. lie should fine him 2s. U. far the
assault.
