SRI LONDON Rini BiIOADI.
Mr. Alderman Alma (In the abseace of Mr. Alderman
Wire, from Innen visual from sa soradestal fell) preserittsd
a petition, @toed by nearly 600 members of the London Bide
Brigade, praytng that the court would give its consent to the
=taint of Captain George Montagu Hicks (of her
'is flat Regiment) to be lieutenant-oolonel of the
brigade.
Kr. HOPITNBON, a member of the brigade, appeared at
the bar of the court in uniform, aocompaaied by a number of
his comrades, to support the prayer of the petition. Re said
that the pastel wish of the brigade, who had to some
extent samidosd their bnernein, end entirely MCA-
tired their pleasure.' for the purpose of devoting them-
selves earnestly to the defence of their country, was
that their endeavours might result in no Ignoble end. To
avoid such a result, they felt it necessary that their lieute-
nant-oolonel should be a man who united military ability
with courteey, petioles, foroearanos, perseverance, sad In-
sight into cbaraMer; sod suck a man, they believed, yes to
be found in Captain Hicks, who had been seismal by the
council of the brigade for recommendation to the Court of
Lieutenancy. TOM court, however—no doubt with great pro-
priety—bad thought it expedient that before they confirmed
the appointment' the Court of Aldermen should be
mired to give their sanction, since Captain Hicks,
as Governor of Wbitecrose-s;
reet Prison, most be
regarded as their servant. The brigade, therefore,
sow respectfully asked that that sanction might .be
given, for Captain Ricks bad already endeared himself
to them, sad they felt that reader his 'Detraction sad super-
intendeuee their labours to peeler' themselves in military
discipline would not be in vain. They were now a body of
600 men, end would soon be 700. Trey were thoroughli in
earnest in their devotion to military duties, but be regretted
to say, although be did not whir to meke a Fonda of such
ratter% that the Leaks Bide Bodged., from whom so much
had been expected, sad upon whom the public eye had MI
long been dud, were already matting wider some sore
gekirsaees, end dscerely did they hope that the Court of
Akimbo would show their sympathy by at Wet giving
their ociaamt that the man of their choice—Captain Gloms
Mentegn Rieke should be their lianteasst-eplonel.
(Amdatme,)
ear, Alderman Amax (captain sleet of the brigedo)—As
there may be some discussion on this .übjecit, I move that
strangers do withdrew. (Genial cries of "No, Do.")
The Loan Moron—Do you wish la press tit P
Mr. Alderman Atxxx—Yes, I do.
The LORD MATOR—Is the nation seconded P
Sir H. blucioanuans—Yes, I round it.
Several Aldermen—No, so ; is quite Denmemery.
Mr. Alderman Cneurt—l think, my lord, it will be better,
if there is to be a disemeskis, that the court should be
cleared. (Hrin. hear, and 'I No, no.")
The Towe Ctnex—Notice is taken that strangely are
peverit. Stranger must withdraw.

.-The mart waschard accordingly. and the discussion pro-
ceeded with cloud doors for about three quarter, of an how,
when etrangem were re-admitted.
The R100111)133, then erldreseing the deputation, raid—l
am desired by the Lord Mayor to reed you the following
noolutton, whnh hue berm agreed to by the court : " That
this court sus no objection to Captain Hicks accepting the
appointment, provided hie sureties smut and are willing to
continue their liability ander their bond ;" and It has been
likewise resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded
to the Court of Lieutenancy.
The deputation then thanked the wort and windrow, evi-
dently well pleased to hue awoeeded in securing Captain
Hicks as their lieutenant-eolonel.
The resolution, our reporter was subsequently informed,
was moved by Mr. Alderman Copeland, end seconded by
Mr. Alderman Hale, and candid unanimously after a rather

Mr. MIIIINT Stecodedthe we.lution.
Mr. Aacatturr said that the meeting ought not to lose
sight of as foot that the gas eempanies bad sunk a great
deal of money in supplyiog gm to the public. It seemed to
hint therefore that this was a qcstion fur ammonite, end
that it should be left to the demaion of the Haw of Oam
moms. Thos companies had created • moaspoly, and they
mast take lb. ominguences. (Rear, hese.) hey bad bead
a great deal recently about Cabo and liar evils. H. be-
lieved that strikes were otter produced by the omelet= of
the workmen, and In the present rase the strike mate from a
combiaation of companies against the mummers of gas.
The resolute' wee adopted.
Mr. Learn moved the following resolution —"That •
find and uniform rate of thaws for tbo supply of gam
throughout the teehropolis is desirable and nromeary, sad
that sort sea only be secured by wit of parliament" Ali
they wished for wee a rod article at a fair price, and no one
company or individual could complain of that principle.
Mr. Eltassz esoosided the resolution.

Mr. Vinson complained of the hardship which he bed
sawed at the bends of the gee company of the district. He
bed swieeeded to the mention of an individual who left owing
U. to the gas company, and becalms he refused to pay the
debts of that nun him gas was cut off, end he had wow to

LONDON. WEDNESDAY, DEC e.

Too 1V0.4 of Brunie poblialias what it calla a

serious announcement so the subject of our relations
with Epain. Eoglead, that ancient troubler of the
nations, inwardly mortilied at seeing the Spanish
Government penis< in its expeditioe against the
Moon, has onagbt and found a pretext for annoying
t►s Cabinet of Madrid. " With a bitterness an-
" worthy of a great nation, she now claims from
" Spain payment for the we:Wisdoms furnished at
" the period of the cis.l war in the Poulain'''. The
" Spanish Government is inclined to yield, in order
" to tots from England all pretence for acts of vie-
1' lease; yet, as bed reasons have never been want-
° lag to England for getting up a quarrel, there is
▪ mason to fear serious complications, oothwithatand-
* lag the drain of Spr;a to yield." There is not a
word of truth in this elaborate statement. no
claims of England upon the Spaniel, Govern-
ment, far from being an afterthought suggested by
the war with the Moon, were urged a year ago, while
