CITY BROKERS.

The following gentlemen were sworn in PS
brokers or the City of London :—Messrs. Frederick
Clark and William. Sheldrick ; Messrs. Robert M.
Nicholas, U. TL Greeves, and Joseph Be Castro
were allow od brokers ; and Mr. W. IL Skelton was
discharged from the office upon his own application.

STORING OF PETROLETTM.
rile General Purposes Committee made a repert
10, reference to the application of certain parties,
in conformity with the statute, for permission to
store, in one case, 200 gallons, and in the other, 400
gallons of petroleum upon their premises, and they
recommended that both applications should be re-
jected.

Alderman Sir F. G. MOON having put a question
'with reference to the report,
Alderman FINN'S said that the committee had
come to the resolution that was before the Court
partly from their own knowledge of the dangerous
and inflammable character of the material in ques-
tion, and partly from a very careful report made by
Mr. Catty, their own officer, as to the unfitness of
the 'premises respecting which the application was
made for the reception of such a material; and as
they believed it would be dangerous to the public if
the applications had been acceded to, they felt no
hesitation, upon the grounds he had alluded to, in
recommending the court to reject the applications.
Alderman SIDNEY observed that there was not
the least doubt that this article was of the most dan-
gerous description, and this was so much the opinion
of practical persons, that in every case where petro-
leum was permitted to be stored, the insurance offices
required an extra premium for insuring the build-
ings on each side. This court was acting solely in
the interest of the public in refusing applications
like those now under consideration, and any parties
who felt themselves aggrieved might go to the Court
of Queen'e Bench and review the decision that had
been arrived at by the magistrates of the City of
London, if they thought proper to do so. (Hear.)
Alderman W. LAWRENCE said it appeared to him
that a very grave responsibility devolved upon the
magistrates in reference to this matter. It was
their duty to take care that no inflammable and
dangerous material like petroleum should be stored
in places where an explosion might be productive of
most serious mischief. The act of Parliament gave a
power to any one to store petroleum to an extent not
exceeding 4a gallons in any place without a license,
and in his opinion this was too large a quantity.
(Hear, hear.) The magistrates of the City of Lon-
don were, however, determined to do all in their
power to protect the public, and the df cision arrived
at by the committee was calculated to effect this
object. (Hear.)
The report was then unanimously agreed to.
Some matter of a private character was then dis-
cussed with closed doors, after which the court ad-
journed.

ELECTION OF SOLICITOR TO THE COMMISSION.

Some routine business having been disposed of,
The Court proceeded to the election of a solicitor
to the commission in the room of the late Mr. C.
Pearson.

A discussion took place, which was originated by
Deputy Harrison, as to the desirability of the Court
ordering the withdrawal of strangers whilst the
Court discussed the provisions of one of the stand-
ing orders of the Common Council referring to elec-
tions.

Alderman COPELAND and Alderman SIDNEY op-
posed the proposition, urging that the Commission
was a public body, appointed under act of Parlia-
ment, and not responsible to the Common Council
for its acts.

The proposition for the withdrawal of strangers
was, however, carried.
Upon the re-admission of the public, it was de-
cided that the number of candidates should be re-
duced to two by show of hands, and that the elec-

tion should then take place by poll.
There were five candidates, viz., Mr. A. J. Baylis,
ward clerk of Cripplegate ; Mr. Jenkinson, Mr.
Gresham, Mr. Pontifes, and Mr. C. M. Roche.
Upon a show of hands the names of Messrs Gre-
sham, Pontifes, and Roche were struck ont of the
list.

Upon a poll being taken for the remaining two
candidates the numbers were—For Mr. Baylis, 28 ;
for Mr. Jenkinson, 22 ; majority, 6,
The CHATRUAN then informed Mr. Baylis of the
decision of the Commission, and complimented him
upon the position he had attained.

Mr. A. J. BAYLIS returned thanks for the honour
conferred upon him, and said he trusted that his
future conduct as the solicitor to the Commission
would fully justify in their estimation the choice
which they had made.

(. 0 17111 OF ALDEB3I.E. N

A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at one
o'clock.
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and
there was a fell atteudance of members of the eourt.
Alderman and Sheriff J. C. LAWRANCE made a
report of the state of the City gaols, and the number
of prisoners confined therein, by which it appeared
that there are at present in Newgate, 138,in White-
cross-street 87, and in Holloway prison, which is
unusually full, 422 prisoners. It was also stated
with regard to the last mentioned prison, that there
were 8 of the prisoners in the infirmary, and 47
out-patients.
Alderman HUMPIIERY said he thought the last
statement required some explanation, He did not
understand what was meant by the "out" patients
of a gaol. Did it mean patients who were at
liberty, and came to the gaol every morning for
their medicine ? (A laugh.)
Mr. Sheriff LAWRANCE explained that the return
Was made according to tho printed form. All that
was meant by " out" patients was prisoners who
were not ill enough to be sent to the infirmary, but
who were seen specially by the surgeon. (Hear.)
Several members of the court expressed an opinion
that the form of the return should be amended, as
at present it seemed rather ambiguous, and
Mr. Sheriff LAWRANCE said there would be no
difficulty in carrying out the wishes of the court
with regard to future returns.

LEET JURIES.
The leet juries of the ancient manors of King's
Manor, and Guildable Manor, Southwark, made
their usual presentme Ana uisances, inconveni-
ences, and obstructions, also as to the sanitary
condition of these manors, and they were referred
to the General Purposes Committee for considera
tion.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £3O.
A scullers' race came off yesterday for £l5 aside, but
was marred at the commencement by an untoward accident.
The competitors were James Kilsby, of the Old Barge-house,
Blackfriars, who, although nearing 30 years of age, has done
nothing of importance in the aquatio world, and Edward
May, formerly of The Times Unity Rowing Club, who has
rowed several races this year, and has been before the public
for some time past. The men had taken good care of them-
selves, although the stake was small, and May had engaged
Citizen Q, Capt. Whanslow, to accompany the race, betting

GREA7 FIRE IN GRAYS-INN-LANE.

The approach of Christmas, as usual, appears to
herald the outbreak of an undue number of fires.
Following the disastrous conflagration in Little
Tower-street yesterday, another large fire broke out
shortly after five o'clock last evening on the exten-
sive premises of Messrs. Pritchard, builders, of
Portpool-lane, Gray's-inn-lane. Messrs. Pritchard's
yard being well stocked with dry timber, the flames
made rapid progress, and speedily occasioned a re-
flection which was visible from every part of the
metropolis. The premises were surrounded on three
sides by tenements exclusively occupied by the
humblest classes, amongst whom the greatest alarm
prevailed, the poor creatures hastily gathering to-
gether their chattels and throwing them pell •mell
into the street. On the north Messrs. Pritchard's
yard was bounded by the rear of Messrs. Reid's
brewery in Liquorpond-street, and to this circum-
stance, and the efficient aid afforded by that esta-
blishment, may be attributed the salvage of a large
amount of the surrounding property. The engines
of the fire brigade were upon the spot within a very
short period after the outbreak ; but the usual
lamentable deficiency of water from the New River
plugs prevailed, and little could be done beyond
endeavouring to confine the flames to Messrs.
Pritchard's works. Captain Shaw, chief of the
brigade establishment, adopted the best possible
means for effecting this end by a careful survey of the
neighbourhood, following this up by the disposition
of Mr. Fogo and other of his officers at all those
points where danger most threatened. By this
means the fire was promptly arrested, even after
the flames had destroyed the rear of many small
houses in Verulam-street and Baldwin's-gardens.
There was an ample supply of engine-power, con-
sieting of three of the brigade steamers and several
hand engines. Mr. Hodges brought his steamer
from Lambeth, and Mr. Merry weather one from
Long-acre ; but the New River plugs were more
than exhausted in supplying the requirements of
the brigade engines, to which, therefore, belongs
the credit of having stayed the fire. At a very
early moment after the outbreak, and even before
the brigade engines had got to work, the powerful
enhances of Messrs. Reid's brewery (always ready
in case of accident) were brought into active ser-
vice. Three sets of hose having been laid on to the
tank in the roof, a continuous stream of water was
poured across Portpool lane to the flame, the tank
being kept supplied by the brewery steam-engine.
The dray men also proved valuable auxiliaries in the
good work.

The Duke of Sutherland and Mr. Beddowe were
among the amateur firemen present, each working
with characteristic zeal.
The origin of the outbreak is not known with
certainty, nor could any statement be obtained as to
the insurances on the property destroyfid.

THE TIIRONE OF GREECE.

We understand that the three Powers most inti-
mately concerned in the affairs of Greece have now
come to a definite understanding. It is agreed that
the provisions of the Protocol of 1830 shall be held
binding. The enthusiastic demand of the Greeks
for an English prince is therefore doomed to disap-
poiutraent. Russia, on her side, has acknowledged
that the Duke of Leuchtenberg is a member of the
imperial family. It has, therefore, only remained
for the Powers to endeavour to find some prince
whom they could recommend to the Greek people as
worthy of their suffrages, while possessing the con.
( aneP nf Europe. WeShave repeatedly ailverted
,election: the difficulties of tnt .electio ivy believe,
however, that we may now state that King Fer-
dinand of Portugal will receive the joint support
of the three Powers. His Majesty is in the prime
of life, being only forty-six years of age. During
the minority of his son he governed a con-
stitutional kingdom as Regent for some years. He
is a prince of much capacity, and, by the excellent
education he gave to his children, emulated the
great qualities of our own Prince Albert. The King
is, moreover, a cousin of the young prince who is
forbidden to avail himself of his flattering election.
There is but one drawback to King Ferdinand. He
is a Roman Catholic. The feelings of a Greek rival
those of the strongest Protestant in dislike for that
faith. But it is impossible to find a candidate who
is totally unimpeachable, and it is to be hoped the
Greeks will be content to accept a prince of such
lofty connections, honourable reputation, and tried
ability, as King Ferdinand. We may not unrea-
sonably expect that the Greeks, when the excite-
ment of the present moment has passed away, will
lend not an unwilling oar to this suggestion of the
Great Powers, whose countenance and aid must be
of vital consequence to them in their present attempt
at regeneration.—Morning Post.

GROSS IN HUMANI2 Y OF A 2110111 ER.

Yesterday morning Mr. H. Raffies Walthew, the
deputy coroner, resumed the adjourned inquiry at
the Wellington Tavern, Cannon-street, St George's-
in-the-East, respecting the death of Margaret Jack-
son, aged 15 months, who died, from starvation and
neglect, in the workhouse of St. George's-in-the-
East. The mother of the child was present by the
authority of Sir G. Grey, the Secretary of State, in
charge of the police inspector (Allison) of the K
division.

It will be remembered that the mother had been
charged with a violent assault on Mrs. Johnson
with a poker, because she remonstrated with her on
her bad treatment of the deceased, although she was
married and drew £2 ss. a month from her husband's
half-pay. She earned money besides, and was con-
stantly in the habit of leaving the child without
food, locking it up in a room, so as to prevent any
access to the child. She would go out drinking at
public-houses and leave the child for days together.
Upon the resumption of the inquiry,
The Assistant to Dr. Turtle was examined at
length, and said that he knew the mother as a
drunken woman, and when he was called to see the
child she was lying dead drunk under the bed. The
deceased was quite naked, with the exception of a
few dirty rags upon it. He found the deceased
dying, and much emaciated from long-continued
neglect and starvation. The child died on the fol-
lowing day, and when he called he heard that the
mother was in custody for an assault. After some
other evidence,

The Coroner summed up the case, and remarked
on the evidence, when the jury returned a verdict
of Manslaughter against Margaret Jackson for caus-
ing the death of her offspring.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial
at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal
Court, Old Bailey.

THE CARBURETTING PROCESS.

A memorial was read from the inhabitants of
Bow-lane and vicinity, complaining of the deficiency
of the public lamps in that neighbourhood by rea-
son of the application of the carburetting process.
Deputy LOTT denounced the process as a complete
failure.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOR admitted that a sufficient light
was not given in the public lamps in the City, but
expressed his opinion that the gas company was to
blame, they not liking to supply a smaller quantity
of gas than that heretofore required. (Hear.)
Mr. SAUNDERS maintained that the carburetting
process was by no means a failure. All that was re.
quired was a proper supply of gas and a proper ap-
plication of that process, and then, he said, the best
and cheapest possible light would be obtained.
The memorial was ultimately referred to the

General Purposes Committee to consider and report.

The Court today received proposals for the
supply and keeping in repair 1,770 gas meters, to
be affixed to the public lamps in the southern dis-
trict of the City.

AQUATICS.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £3O.
A scullers' race came off yesterday for £1.6 a-side, but
was marred at the commencement by an untoward accident.
The competitors were James Kilsby, of the Old Barge-house,
Blackfriars, who, although nearing 30 years of age, has done
nothing of importance in the aquatic world, and Edward
May, formerly of The Times Unity Rowing Club, who has
rowed several races this year, and has been before the public
for some time past. The men had taken good care of them-
selves, although the stake was small, and May had engaged
Citizen Q, Capt. Whanslow, to accompany the race, betting
being about 6t04 on May. They went to their stations at
half-past three, Kilsby winning the toss, the distance
being from Putney to Mortlake. They started level, and
so rowed to the Star and Garter, when May began
to draw is front, and was clearing himself when he caught
a crab and they f uled, May, it is said, being in fault. This,
however, was very hard to tell from the steamboat ; never-
theless Mr. Newnham, the referee, well known in aquatic
circles for his integrity, decided, somewhat prematurely we
think, that Kilsby had won, and directed him to row over
the course. May, meanwhile, had turned back, expecting
they were to start again, and Kilsby'a cutter going ahead of
May, infringed the articles. A dispute, therefore, was
raised, which will be settled by the umpires and referee
meeting at Bell's Life office on Friday next.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

A Court of Aldermen vas held yestetaay at one
o'clock.

The Right Hon. the Lore- Ylayor presided, and
there was a full attendar.,2e of members of the court.
Alderman and Steriff J. C. LAWRANCE made a
report of the st:l:te of the City gaols, and the number
of Priaone:cs confined therein, by which it appeared
that 'Chere are at present in Newgate, 138,in White-
cross-street 87, and in Holloway prison, which is
unusuany full, 422 prisoners. It was also stated
with rQgard to the last mentioned prison, that there
were Bof the prisoners in the infirmary, and 47
out-patients.
I,lderman rin[PHERY said he thought the last
statement required some explanation, He did not
iinderstand what was meant by the "out" patients
of a gaol. Did it mean patients who were at
liberty, and came to the gaol every morning for
theJ.r medicine ? (A laugh.)
Mr. Sheriff LAWRANCE explained that the return
Teas made according to the printed form. All that
was meant by "out" patients was prisoners who
were not ill er.ough to be sent to the infirmary, but
who were stcn specially by the surgeon. (Hear.)
Sever ski members of the court expressed an opinion
that t'ae form of the return should be amended, as
at P resent it seemed rather ambiguous, and
Mr. Sheriff LAWRANCE said there would be no
difficulty in carrying out the wishes of the court
with regard to future returns.

TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying' detection by tne closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.
