COURT OF ALDERMEN.

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.

A special Court of Aldermen was holden yesterday for
the purpose of receiving a communicatim from the Secretary
of State, announcing the safe delivery of her Royal High-
ness the Princess of Wales, and the birth of a Prince.
Tho Lord Mayor presided, and there was a full attendance
of members of the court.

The LORD MAYOR opened the proceedings, and read the
letter of Sir G. Grey, which merely announced the fact above
stated.

Alderman COPELAND, 111,P., in rising to move that the
communication be entered in the journals of the court, said
he should wish to explain why he merely made this motion,
and why he did not at the same time move that a dutiful
and loyal address be also presented to her Majesty upon such
an auspicious event. (Hear, hear,) When he first had the
honour of taking his seat in that court, it was the custom
upon important and interesting occasions like the present
for two addresses to be voted to the Crown, one by the Court
of Aldermen, and the other by the Court of Common Coun-
cil, and the two addresses were carried up conjointly. It
was, however, found to be very inconvenient for so large a
number of persons to approach the Throne, and it was there-
fore arranged that only one address should be moved in the
Court of Common Council, and he apprehended that was the
course which must be taken on the present occasion. He
wished his brethren of the Court of Aldermen to understand
at the samo time that he was as anxious as any one could
be to uphold all their privileges, and those of the corporation
generally, but for the reason he had stated he felt that cattle
present occasion all ho could do was to move that the com-
munication of Sir G. Grey be entered in the journals of the
court.

Alderman Sir S. DUKE, M.P., seconded the motion.
Alderman SIDNEY, M.P., said that but for what had been
stated by the senior member of the Court with regard to the
rights of the Court of Alderman, he should possibly have
allowed the motion to pass sub silentio, but he could not help
thinking that, by adopting the proposition, the privileges of
himself and his brother magistrates were taken from them.
(Hear, hear.) He was aware there was a jealousy upon
this subject in the other branch of the Corporation, but he
could not help expressing his opinion, notwithstanding what
had been said by Alderman Copeland, that the magistrates
of this great Corporaiion had an undoubted right to move
an Address to the Crown upon so important and interesting
an occasion as the present, and to present that address,
as any other body of magistrates in the kingdom. (Hear,
hear.) As to the inconvenience that had been alluded to of
so large a body going up to the Crown, if he remembered
rightly this difficulty was merely suggested by the Secretary
of State for the time, and he was not aware that any objec-
tion had ever been raised by the Crown to the magistrates
of the City of London offering it their loyal homage upon an
occasion like the present. (Hear, hear.)
Alderman CHALLIS said he fully concurred in what had
just been stated by his brother alderman. It appeared to
him that this court ought not lightly to give up any of their
ancient privileges, and he could see no objection to two ad-
dresses to her Majesty, one from this Court and one from
the Court of Common Council being agreed to. (Hear.)
Alderman COPELAND wished the Court to clearly under-
stand that he had no desire to sacrifice any of their privi-
leges, and when the proposition was made originally that
there should be only one address to the Throne upon such
an occasion, he opposed it. If however they referred to the
journals of the Court, they would find that the course he
now proposed had always been taken, and he had therefore
no alternative but to propose it on the present occasion. If
however the Court should be of opinion that a special ad-
dress should be presented by them to her Majesty, he was
quite ready to support such a motion. (Hear, hear,)
The LORD MAYOR then rose and read a telegram he had
received that morning, announcing that her Royal High-
ness the Princess of Wales and the royal infant were pro-
gressing favourably.
Some further discussion then took place, during which

Alderman Sir R. CARDEN proposed a motion to the effect
that the Court of Alderman should present a special address
to the Throne upon the auspicious event that had called
them together.
The LORD MAYOR, under the advice of the Recorder,
however, ruled that this could not be done unless the stand-
ing orders were suspended, as the Court had assembled for
a special purpose.
Alderman SIDNEY said he was quite ready to move that
the standing orders be suspended; but at the suggestion of
the Lord Mayor, and after a few observations had been
made by Alderman Phillips, Sir It. Carden consented not to
take any further proceedings in the matter at present, upon
the understanding that a special court showd be called at
an early day to enable him to do so.
The motion of Alderman Copeland was then agreed to,
and the Court adjourned.
