LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1830.

At the Court of Aldermen, held on the 9di, for
the, purpose of enquiring into the part which Sir
C. S. HUNTER took in advising Ministers to make
certain preparations for the Visit to Guild-
_ hall, that worthy, but by no means sapient
Baronet, entered into an explanation with the
Aldermen, which, one and all, agreed. was
" the most extraordinary they had ever heard."
The riddle of the Sphynx was a plain matter
of fact compared to it. The .worthy - Alder-
multitude. no less than three bulky attempts to ex-
plain, and three titnes failed to render himself
hgible. Like the Amen of Macbeth, his explanation
stuck hi his throat. So fur, however, as it could
he understood, it was to the effect. that the,
HOME SECRETARY after a long desultory con-
vergnion
with him, (Sir C. S. litnimEß).
it agreed that his MAJESTY must have an escort
Into the city ; and that it would be necessary
that the military selected for this purpose • should
be headed by jive Aldermen; that one of these extra-
ordinary five should attend his MAJESTY on horse-
back; and that as Sir C. S. HUNTER was the locum
o the LORD .“I.AYoR,be the per-
si_eZiBthusr eltivialrOttslylkidistingusishe I shouldl. is evident
from this explanation that the 110bla SECRETARY,
With that exceeding vivacity that distinguishes hie
PP"ehes ell all occasions, was playing off a hoax on
the worthy '"
,Alderman. On what other principle
eau we -account fur his absurd proposition
that Aldermen (in full military costume
we suppose) should head five different detach-
rt''tnts of troops,? Surely he could not have
supposed they could have appeared to any advantage
(except to CRUICKSHANK) on horseback at the head
.of a dashing regiment of Guards or Lancers! Ima-
gine the thing fOr an invent ! Imagine Sir C. S.
HUNTER, with sword in hand, cuirass on chest,
helmet on head, mustuchios ou his tipper lip, and
jail-140k on those portions of his understanding
Which are incomparably the most solid, his . vAliant
looks breathing slaughter and defiance, and teeming
with emulous recollections of WELLINGTON and
Waterloo, galloping on a white charger at the head
• of the Lancers, against what ?---against a London
mob, so perfectly convulsed with laughter at the
'eroterque exhibition as to be unable to stir
step I Imagine also the other four following
elo.e in the rear of this doughty warrior,
with accoutrements equally belligerent—equally
pie-
turesque--equally provocative of inextinguishable
laughter ! We will venture to say, that had these
five peculiar heroes really appeared, as the Home
Secretary proposed they should do, each at the
head of his tioops, there would not have been the
ghost of it riot throughout the metropolis, ex-
, .
eepting such as might nave arisen from tne
exuberance of o,e mobility's good humour.—
Viewed in ibis light, Sir ROBERT PEEL's pro-
positioe was an excellent, not to say, an in-
genious one. A mob cannot be convulsed with
laughter and with mischief et the same moment, and
,What man could possibly think of shedding blood or
creating art insnrrection, when five Aldermen, each
tonanted on a war-horse, stood in military giandeur
before him ? At such a sight,
" To laugh were want of decency and grace,
And to be grave exce(xls all power of face."

;

We have little doubt, coupling the explanation of
of sit C. S. HUNTER with that furnished by other
Ikirtieo, that the Duke of WELLINGTON'S absence
(rum the city orig!nated in jealousy of the, martial
figure that the Quixotic Baronet would cut pn his
white charger ! Hence arose that otherwise untie-
count.,ble but amusing blunder, which, now that the
Worthy citizen+ have partially furgiean the insult
offered to thair appetite and their loyalty, has set
the metropolis in a roar from one end to the other.

Mr. JOHN ST. JOHN LONG—as the gentleman
eh°o'es to call himself—has been again brought into
notoriety by the Manslaughter of one of his patients;
aacl it requires no very superior sagacity,to foresee,
that if the man be not effectually stoppeel in his out-
'Vines career of quackery, he will figure in Coro-
ners' Irtquests at least eleven months out of the
twelve.
