ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN.

Yesterday afternoon a very numerously-attended meet-
ing of the inhabitants of the Ward of Aldgate we, held in
the Ward School Committee-room,in Mitre-street,Minories,
for the election of an Alderman of the Ward, in the stead
of the late Mr. Alderman Humphery.
The LORD M.A.YOR presided, and in opening the proceed-
ings bore testimony to the faithful and zealous services: per.
formed by the late Alderman Humphery during the many
years he had represented the ward, and also during the 20

ears he had held a seat in the House of Commons.

Mr. J. G. JONES then nominated Andrew Lusk, Esq.,
for the vacant office, a gentleman whom he said was worthy
to be a successor to the late Alderman, and worthy of their
confidence and esteem. He had long resided in the ward,
had passed through the various parochial offices, and had
for many years been an active member of the Court of Com-
mon Council. He had also been elected to the important
office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, and was in every
respect worthy of their confidence. He therefore proposed
him as their future Alderman, believing that if elected he
would perform the duties of the office zealously, faithfully,
and efficiently.

The Rev. Mr. DiciaNsorr seconded the nomination., and
spoke highly of Mr. Lusk's labours in the cause of °clues-
tion.

There was no other candidate, and the Lord Mayor de•
clared Mr. Lusk unanimouslyelected Alderman of the Waxdl
Mr. Lust having returned thanks,

A vote of condolence with the widow and family of the
late Alderman Humphery was then agreed to, and the pro,
ceedings terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to thq
Lord Mayor for presiding.

A Polish expedition has successfully disembarked

The Constitutionnel of this morning publishes an

The writer says:—" The uncertainty and un-

prolonged without inconvenience. We should not
be pre-occupied with certain impossible compli-
cations. The isolated action of France could alone
have given rise to such fears, In view of the

fears are contrary to good sense and an ana-

have succeeded in . placing Poland under the pro-
tection of Europe. Such a policy is neither inf ffec-
tual nor unfruitful. When written international
law and public opinion are both on the side of a

" The present policy of France has rallied
Europe around her. In 1840, on the contrary,
France was under the ban of the Great Powers.

WESTMINSTER.

A "MOTHER."—Margaret Sullivan, a miserable-looking
woman, was charged with unlawfully knocking and ring-
ing at the house of Mr. Cairns, 18, Chester-terrace, Pimlico.
The first witness against the defendant was her own
daughter, an exceedingly clean, wholesome-looking girl,
who said that she was servant to Mr. Cairns, and had given
her mother into custody last night for knocking and ring.
ing there during her master's absence.
Mr. Arnold—You have given your own mother into
custody for coming to you at your situation. How is that ?
Witness—She comes to the house often, abuses me, and
tears my clothes off my back.
Defendant—Remember, Ellen, I am your own mother.
Don't say anything against your poor mother.
Mr. Arnold (to the daughter)—You say she abuses you
and tears the things off your back ?

Daughter—She does. She lays wait for me in the street,
and I am afraid to go out.
Mr. Arnold—What is your age ?
Daughter—l am 17.
Mr. Arnold—How long have you been in your present
place.

Daughter—Three months. I have got my own living
at service ever since I was 12 years old, and I wish to do so
in peace, but my mother will not let me. She wants me
to come home, but she has no home for me.

Mr. Cairns, the gentleman employing the girl, said she
was a well-conducted, industrious servant. He had told
the defendant she might visit her daughter at proper times,
but she constantly came drunk and created a disturbance.
As the girl was deserving he was anxious to see her pro-
tected.

Thomas Boucher, 263 A—The prisoner was drunk last
night when I took her into custody.
Defendant—l was hungry, and went to ask my daughter
to give me a sixpence.

Mr. Arnold—l am glad to find your daughter does not
follow your wretched and miserable example. Enter into
recognisances of 40s. to keep the peace for six months. It
yon go there again I will severely punish you.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

The Black Prince went from Plymouth Sound
into Hamoaze on Wednesday. The Royal Oak went
there yesterday morning, and is moored off Keyham.
The Defence followed, and is placed off the Devon-
port dockyard. The flagship Edgar, the Warrior,
Devastation, and Emerald got up steam in the
morning, and left for Spithead, but put back in the
afternoon, owing probably to the strong easterly
winds and stormy weather.

In accordance with an application to that effeet
made to the Admiralty, an order has been sent down
to Chatham directing that the officials connected
with the River Thames Conservancy may be allowed
to inspect the fleet of iron and wooden mortar
vessas laid up in ordinary at Yantlett Creek, with
the view to some of their number being purchased
of the Admiralty for use on the Thames, providing
they are found to be adapted to the particular pur-
pose for which they are required.
The paddlewheel steamer Lucifer, having dis-
charged a full cargo of stores at Chatham dockyard
yesterday, left the harbour and returned to Ports.
mouth.

Capt. the Hon. G. D. Keane, recently appointed
to the Naval barracks at Sheerness, has taken up his
command and joined at this establishment.

In accordance with the new regulations issued
from the Admiralty, the place of the regular clerks
on the staff of Chatham dockyard is to be fitted by
temporary clerks or writers not belonging to the
dockyard, who are to be hired by the Captain Su-
perintendent whenever temporary assistance may
be required in the several offices, or when the regu-
lar clerks may be absent through illness or other-
wise. This arrangement is to be made to obviate
the necessity of inconvenience of taking skilled me-
chanics from their work. All professional persons
who may be appointed writers are to continue to be
examined for the appointments as at present.
The Imperial Russian screw corvette Soxall, 11
guns, Capt.. Aslanbegoff, arrived at Spithead early
yesterday morning from Cronstadt, and at 8 a.m.
exchanged national salutes with the flagship of the
Port Admiral and the saluting battery of the garri-
son. The Soxall is bound to Toulon, and is sent
specially by the Russian Government to form one
in the united squadrons which will escort George 1.,
King of the Greeks, to his new dominions. Capt.
Aslanbegoff landed during the day, and, accom-
panied by the Russian Vice-Consul at the port, Mr.
George Baker, jun., paid an official visit to the Port
Admiral and Lieutenant-Governor at the Admiralty
and Government-houses.

THAMES.

COCK AND NEPTUNE-COURT.—A great many sailors
have been lately plundered and ill used in a vile place
called Cock and Neptune-court, Wellclose-Square, and near
a public house of the same name. The nefarious doings in
this iniquitous place have been the subject of our complaint
for some time, and the East London Association for the pro-
secution of crime have interfered, and intend to prosecute
the keepers of some of the dens in the court. A woman
named Margaret Macarthy was brought before Mr. Par-
tridge charged with robbing a sailor unwed William
Clary, at No. 10, Cock and Neptune-court. The sailor,
a lad belonging t o the ship Lucerne, in the St. Ka-
therine Dock, went into the Cock and Neptune with
a shipmate to obtain a pint of beer, and he was, invited by
the prisoner to go home with her. He refused to do so,
and told her he had got no money. On leaving the public-
house the prisoner dragged the lad into the house No. 10,
Cock and Neptune-court, where he was immediately
stripped of his blue Geurnsey frock and his boots, and
turned out of the house. He had walked about all night
without any boots on, and could not return to the ship.
Adam Carr, 40 11, said many sailors were plundered
every night in Cock and Neptune-court, and the outrages
there were so frequent that the inhabitants of the district
intended to adopt measures to get rid of the nuisance. Four
sailors were robbed in the court last night. Sailors had
been thrown from the windows of the dens in the court
after they were stripped. Every house was filled with
thieves, bullies, and desperate prostitutes.
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner, and directed the
police-constable Carr to ascertain what had become of the
lad's frock and hoots.

MARKETS—This Day

MARK-LANE.
Tho supply of English wheat on sale here to• day was but
moderate. Both red and white qualities, however, sold
heavily, and the quotations were barely supported. The
supply of foreign wheat on the stands was large. The de-
mand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, and prices
had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at about pre-
vious rates.

With barley the market was fairly supplied, and all de-
scriptions met a dull inquiry, at fully the late decline in
prices.

_
The malt trade was dull at drooping prices.
The supply of oats was very large, and the trade:for all
qualities ruled heavy on rather easier terms.

Beans and peas were in fair average request at late quo •

tations.
The flour trade was dull, and barrels were rather cheaper.

A BRONZE PHEASANT as a mach to the Golden
and Silver Pheasabts.—The French sportsmen think
of introducing the bronze pheasant of Japan,and hope that
it will cross with the present pheasant of Europe, and
introduce a hardier breed of birds, which will increase in
quantity and become hardy denizens of woods and forests,
even during the severest winters.
TESTIMONIAL TO MR. BLANCHARD JERROLD.—
A committee has been formed for the purpose of raising

acknowledgment of the ability and success with which he
has taken his father's place as one of the foremost cham-
pions of the rights and interpreter of the wants and aspira-
tions of labour.

GREEK FINANCE.

(From the Timee.)
The folllwing is the communication made by " a
gentleman holding a high and influential official
position in Athens" to M. Stefanos Xenoe, and by
M. Stefanos Xenos to us, on the prospects of the
Greek bondholders of 1824.26 ;

" Athens, Nov. 20.
"The question of the loans of 1824-25 i
popular and presents so many difficulties—and the
sBO un-
tireeka so little understand the arguments of the
English—that no political man, no Government,
will dare to support a question whose tendency is
to throw so heavy a burthen on the public Treasury.
It is true that this burden appears to promise the
development of large moral arid material resources,
Ourpproeopmiesleswil,l not believe in the realisation of
these and they are becoming more deter-
mined, as the late financial crisis is disappearing,
and we believe now that our affairs can be arranged
without vsking for a new foreign loan. For these
reasons I consider the questions of the loans o:
1824-25 is entirely at an end, not only for the pre-,
sent, but for many years to came. The press is as,
unanimous against the (peak% as the people,"

TEETH.—Mr. ESK ELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-
most perfect accuracy, and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
