COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business.
The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court the resolution
of thanks passed by the Court of Common Council to the
Court of Aldermen for the proceedings of the latter in
furthering the views and recommendations of the late
Sheriffs, Sir James Duke and John Johnson, Esq., respect-
ing the alterations in•the gaol of Newgate.
THE INTENDED ROYAL VISIT TO THE
CITIZENS OF LONDON.

Alderman VENABLES stated to the Court, as Chairman
of the Police Committee appointed to make regulations for
the reception of her Majesty on the 9th of November, that
the Committee had proceeded assiduously, and indeed he
might say laboriously, in the matter of reference, and be
hoped that the report which they should make would meet
with a satisfactory reception from the Court. The Com-
mittee were not yet ready with their report, but in a few
days it would be necessary to call a Court to take it into
consideration.—(Hear, hear.)
Alderman COPELAND said, that as that was the day for
issuing the Lord Mayor's precept to the several City Com-
panies to attend upon the Lord Mayor's day, he thought
the opportunity ought to be taken to append a letter to
each precept, suggesting the propriety of the attendance of
the members in different parts of the City in the line in
which the procession was to move, with banners and music,
to evince in the strongest manner the loyalty of the citizens
to their Queen.—(Cheers.)
The precept to the Companies for their attendance by
land and water on the Lord Mayor's day, was then read
and approved, and the Court sanctioned the Committee to
issue a letter to the Livery Companies for their attendance
in the streets through which her Majesty will pass on Lord
Mayor's day in their Livery gowns, with banners and other
appropriate decorations, to testify their respect to her Ma-
jesty upon her visit to the City.
Alderman Copeland's plan, which will be handed in to
the Committee, comprehends not only the Corporation and
the Livery Companies, but all the charity children in the
city of London, and the most gorgeous illumination.
The usual orders of preparation for Lord Mayor's day
were then issued, and the Court adjourned.

During the present and preceding week Edwin
Chadwick, Esq., Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, has
been pursuing his inquiries in several parts of the county
into the working of the Cheshire constabulary force ; pre-
paratory, it is said, to the bringing forward in the ensuing
Parliament of a Bill for the establishment of a general
system of police in England.—Macclesfield Courier.
In the month of September there were exported from
the port of Antwerp alone printed books to the amount of
97,882 E ; the value of those exported by land naust have
been still greater, because the principal markets are llol-
land, Germany, and Italy. The sale in the kingdom itself
has also increased.

A fatal and most distressing accident occurred oti
Saturday last on the Durham and Sunderland Railway,
A poor woman, named Storey, in going from South Het-
ton to Sunderland on the line, was overtaken by the
train, which ran her down, taking off one foot by the
ancle and the other about the knee she died on Tuesday,
alter enduring great agony.
