unexceptionable; whether it might be included in the next
bill he did not know nor can.—Mr. Deputy Stevens re-
ferred to the subject of the freedoms, and said the restriction
had been relaxed solely out of consideration to the poorer
clams of tradesmen. It they could not make the rich men
pay, they would not enter actions against the poor men.
(Applauae.)—At the close, Mr. Richardson submitted a re-
toletion, denouncing the window-tax, and requesting the
newly-elected councillors to bring the matter before the
common council, with the view of a petition being adopted
by that body.—The resolution was unanimously agreed to.—
In • conversation which ensued, a variety of grievances
were canvassed; amongst others the inertias of houses of
ill-fame, and the high price of gia.—The newly-elected

Johnson, 23; Breacber, 37; Perkins, 36; Webster, 40;
Valiance, 26. The show of hands having excluded Mr.
Johnson, a poll was demanded on his behalf, and the several
candidates returned thanks. Mr. Valiance in doing so, ex-
cited much laughter, by observing that he had come forward
at the instance of Mr. Johnson. Although exempted, by
virtue of his profession (solicitor), from serving in various
offices, he declared his readiness to serve in all, and was im-
mediately placed upon the inquest jury amidst renewed
laughte•. The learned gentleman, at the clams of the poll,
took exception to his name being placed last on the list
handed to voters, contending that the show of hands entitled
him to a better position. After some discutaion, Mr. Lecren
moved that the list be altered according to the number polled
for each ; but the alderman dec:ined to deviate from the or-
dinary custom of placing the names of the new candidates at
the end of the list. The polling will take place today
from two to four, and tomorrow from twelve to two o'clock.

ing gentlemen will continue to represent the ward Messrs.

Mr. R. L. Wilson, 6 ; whereupon the Alderman declared
the eight first named gentlemen to be duly reelected.—Mr.
Beaton, in reference to the division of opinion between tha
Court of Aldermen and Court of Common Council, moved :
flat it is the opinion of the wanlmote that the right of election for
all corporate offices in the city of London should be vested in all per-
sons carrying on business in thin City, and paving ward-rates either
directly or indirectly, and that it la desirable a bill should immediately
be brought before parliament emboying that principle; seal that Lord)
Russell, the first promoter of corporate reform in the various cities
and towns of England stud Wales, and having succeeded in carrying
those measures; and also being member of parliament for this city, a

presided at Christ's Hospital. The wardmote having been
opened with the accustomed ceremonies the freemen pro-
ceeded to elect their common councilmen, two of them—
Messrs. Ashurst and Boner—having retired. The vacan-
cies were supplied by Messrs. Young and Watkinson, who,

sion that wu acceded to without any contest. The follow-
ing is the list of the common councilmen for this ward as it
now stands: Mews. Haywood and Eagleton (deputies),

so president of the court, read the names of the gentlemen
who had been nominated by the various precincts, all of
whom bad served during the present year, 'ad concluded by
asking whether any gentleman had a new candidate to pro-
pose.—Mr. Boyle proposed Mr. J. A. Galloway, but stated
that that gentleman had no wish to disturb the ward by a
tented. If the show of hands should be against Mr. Gal-
loway he would at once retire—Mr. Campkin seconded the
nomination.—Mr. Seeley said that if Mr. Boyle took his can-
didate to the poll, he (Mr. Seeley) should propose, en the
part of St. Dunstan's precinct, Mr. G. W. Lees as a fit and
proper person to serve as common councilman for the ward.
—Mr. Boyle was quite indifferent. It was not his intention
to submit to dictation or intimidation. Mr. Galloway
shortly addressed the electors, saying that, although
not anxious for office, he would, if elected, use
kis lea ensegies for the interest of the ward.
The show othask was then taken, and announced by Sir J.
Duo to hoe Mee in favour of the following gentlemen :
Meseta Bedford, Barnard, Turner, Fox, Williams, Prender-
reglor, Bedminster, Anderton, Liu, Obliard, Walter,
Itherwood, Eakins, Bates.—The announcement
weessend candidates was received with general dissatis-
ballie‘sweg gentlemen declaring that the show of hands
was fallenee et Mr. Galloway.—Sir J. Duke said that, to
esi Ow Mildew he would announce the number.—The
iters were then read, from which it appeared that Mr.
Galloway stood three below the lowest of the successful can-
didates.—Mr. Galloway insisted that the show of hands had
been in his lamer, and announced his intention of going to
the poll.—Mr. Seeley thenproposed Mx. Lees, and the chair-
man fixed the poll for 4 to 6 o'clock this day, and 12 to 2
and 11 to 2 on the following days.
LANOBOIIIIN WORD.—Sir John Key took the
chair at the wardmote, which was held at (Areaway's
Coffee-house. Before the election of the common council-
men was proceeded withi—Mr. Brookes said he felt anxious
to wipe away a stain which a member of the court returned
for that ward had apparently cast upon it, by the part he
had taken in the proceedings on the subject of the dia.
abilities of the Jews some days ago. That member was Mr.
John Dixon. (Hear, hear.) It appeared from the news-
pera upon the question proposed for petitioning the
tun for the removal of the disabilities of the Jews,
Mr. Dixon seconded an amendment moved by Deputy
Corney, to the effect of negativing that proposition. Now
he wished to know whether the worthy candidate seconded
the amendment in his individual capacity, or in his
capacity as representative of the ward ? I.lpen the
answer to that question would depend whether a resolu-
tion should or should not be adopted by the wardmote.
When the looked at the disgraceful speech of Deputy
Corney, who had endeavoured to degrade our numerous
and respectaole fellow-aubjecta, they (maid not but feel sur-
prised that a man who was ea much respected as Mr. Dixon
could be found to second the slanderous amendment—Mr.
Dixon denied that he had slandered an body.—biz. Brookes
said there woe no denial or fa of what Deputy
Corner had said la the few welds whisk Mr. Dada 'poke.—

air and water and sewers in the populous districts of the city,
and moved that the representatives of the ward be instruct-
ed to give all the aid in their power to accomp'ish the great
object of sanitary reform. The motion was carried unani-
mously.—Mr. Webber said he had read with pleasure the
notice of a motion, given by Alderman Musgrove, to the
effect of obtaining fur the owners of 101. per annum pre-
mises, the franchise in the election of aldermen. He hoped
that the periodical election of aldermen would be included.
—Mr. Brooks believed the extension of the franchise and
the periodical election of aldermen were the two essential
things required to render the municipal character of cheeky
unexceptionable. The motion was earned unanimously.—
Thanks were then voted to the aldermen of the ward.—All
the old members for the ward having been returned, the
wardmote was dissolved.

J. Parker, J. 'Why, J. It. Thompson, J. Dunford, T. C.
Hayward, and 0. Vile, and against Mr. S. H. Jutaum. On
the name of Mr. J. R. Thompson being proposed, some per-
sons in the room charged that gentleman with not having
voted for Mr. Baron Rothschild at the late election for the
'City. Mr. Thump on pledged his honour that he had voted
' for Baton Rothschild, and on all accssions used his interest
Ito obtain for the Jews the full rights of citizenship. He bad
been mainly instrumental in bringing forward and return-
ing Mr. D. Salomon* in that ward some years ago—(hear,
hear)—not as a paid agent, as some bad alleged, but acting
upon principle only. He had never received a torching fur
his 'services on that occasion, nor would he have accepted
payment had it been offered. He had been asked within
these few days, what he had done with his presentation to
Christ's Hospital ? He bad up to this time received no
presentation, but when he did he should dispose of it as he
had promised when he first understood he should be entitled
to one, viz by ballot amongst the freemen of the ward.

Mr. Jutram, it was appointed to take place between the

FIRE AND ROBBERY IN HOUNDSDITCH.—Last even-
ing, about four o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of
Means. Abrahams and Danzezer, Birmingham and Sheffield
dealers, No. 105, Iloundeditch. It was canard through the
cock of the main gu.pipe coming out whilst one of the work-
men was turning it on, the party having a light in his
hand at the time. In an instant he was surrounded with
flames, audit was with great difficulty that he escaped burn-
ing. The firemen succeeded in confining the flames to that
portion of the premises in which they originated. As soon
as the flames were extinguished, it was ascertained that
some one, who had entered the house under the pretence of
lending assistance, hadstolen a box from behind the counter
containing trinkets and other property to the value of 4001.
INQUEST. YESTERDAY.—DIFFICULTY OF OBTAIN-
ING AN ORDER FOR TIM PARISH SURGEON.—Before Mr.
W. Carter, at the Hero of Waterloo ion, Lambeth, respect-
ing the death of Maria Dowsett, aged 43.—The Coroner said
that on Saturday last he received a letter from Mr. Hyman,
a tradesman in the Waterloo-road, in which he reflected
on the oondnet of the medical man of the perish, and that
the ease ought either to be inquired into by the c ironer or
the churchwardens; he, the coroner, had submitted the letter
to the churchwardens, end the present proceedings were the
result. —J. Brown, a labourer, said that deceased had lived
with him as his wife for nine months. She died at three
o'clock last Wednesday morning. She had been ill from the
Wednesday preceding. He went to Mr. Dawson, at one
o'clock, on 1 ueaday week, to see if he would come and see
the deceased, as there had been a pariah order left for his
attendance in the morning, but he was not at home. At five
o'clock Mr. Dawson called and saw deceased, when he told
her that he could do her no good. He sent • powder-
which was administered.—Sarah Phillips, the landlady of
I the house deceased lodged in, said that on Wednesday
week deceased complained of being sick. She went to bed
where she remained till she died, retching almost inces-
santly. Witness gave her some of the medicine which she had
herself taken for the influenza. About 11 o'clock on Sun-
day morning, she being a great deal worse, witneta spoke
to Mr. Brown about a doctor, but he bad not a shil-
ling to procure one. Witness said she believed the
parish doctor would always come once without an order.
She eent to the pariah surgeon, but he refused to come
without an order. The deceased at that time was in dread-
ful agony, and comp'ained of the doctor not eoming, and
expressed her belief that if he was there ha could give her
something to relieve the pain. On Monday morning appli-
cation was made for an order, but as it was past the hour
for granting one, a message was sent to Mr. Dawson to see
the deceased. He still refused to go without an order. Oa
Tuesday morning an order was procured which was left at 10
o'clock inthe morning with Mr. Dawson. He however did cot
come till five o'clock that afternoon. When Mr. Dawson
came, he said he considered it a cue of great neglect. Wit-
ness said ohs thought it great neglect on his part. He asked
why she did not get an order? He was not to be made to
do anything without an order. He pronounced deceased to
be in great danger, and said he had no doubt it might have
been prevented if she had had proper attendance in time.
He told witness to let him know if deceased was alive in the
morning at nine o'clock, and he would send her some medi-
cine. She, however, died at three o'clock that morning.
—Jane Stimpeon, a lodger in the same house, said that on
Sunday she went to the doctor between one and two.
She asked him if he would come ? He replied,
"No, not for any one without an order." He
told her to go the following morning and get an order,
and then he would attend. She went to the workhouse the
next morning at a quarter-past 10 o'clock, but was refused
one, it being past the hour. The policeman at the door re-
commended her to go and represent the urgency of the ease
to Mr. Dawson, and he had no doubt he would attend.
Witnese told Mr. Dawson the directions she had received at
the workhouse, when he told her to bring a bottle and he
would give her some medicine. She went at ail o'clock for
the medicine, but Mr. Dawson was out, and his wife said be
would not be at home for three or four hours. No medicine
was left oat.—War. Dawson admitted having refused to at-
tend without an order. On the Monday morning a young
woman came with a peremptory message from the work.
house that he was to attend. He refused to go,
and told her if she would get a bottle he would
give her some medicine, and if the got worse he would go.
He saw deceased when he went to see his other patients. She
was suffering from influenza and abdominal disease. That
was the cause of death. He was unable to go earlier than
he did on account of the number of patienta he had.
When he was applied to at ten O'clock no Tuesday night, he
did not go to the deceased because he knew it was nea-
test, as she was dying. The witnesses had greatly exagge-
rated the case, and having called witheeste to prove that he
was generally attentive to his patients, he said that Rs al-
ways went without orders if the ca ees were very urgent.—
The Coroner summed up, and left the case in the hands of
the jury who returned the following verdict la" Natural
death from influenza and abdominal disease. The
jury regret that Mr. newton did not see the de-
ceased on Monday, understanding that application had
been made to the poor-house for an order for his
attendance, although too Late to be obtained."

the present navigation laws, and an alteration in the Bank
Restriction Act, and concluded by alluding to local affairs,
on which a prejudice has been attempted to bo got up
against him.
Mr. Wm/unsex then presented himself, and was received
by the crowd with loud cheers. He said he was there on
the invitation of the majori.y of the liberal electors, sad
was entitled to the support of the whole liberal interest,
which but for personal motives he should have bad. He
' ridiculed the idea or Mr. Hawes becoming a candidate on
principle• that would have permitted him to vote against the
repeal of the navigation laws and for a change in the Bank
Act, and regarded all that had been mid by his opponent on
these questions as clap-trap. He deprecated the conserva-
tion voting for Sir Hed worth, and called on Us friends to
vote for him early in the morning, and he had no doubt but
he would be their member.

A show of hands was then taken by the rein 'Sag offioer,
which was very decidedly in favour of Mr. Wilkinson. On
behalf of Sir H. Williamson a poll was demanded.

IRELAND.

Dastm Dn. 20.

A rumour prevails to-day that his Excellency the
Lord-Lieutenant is determined to carry out the new
coercion law with a vigour which shall leave nothing
on hie part to be objected to the energy of the Irish
government; and doubtless his views will be fully
seconded by the executive departments of the
country. A privy council is summoned, it ie be-
lieved, for Thursday, to proclaim certain districts as
ooming immediately under the operation of the
Coercion Act, and the necessary proclamation will, it
is understood, appear in the Dublin Gazelle of Fri,
day next. No doubt this vigorous commencement
will have a salutary effect.
