COURT OF ALDERMEN.
On Tuesday a Court was held for the dispatch of
public business.

THE DEATH OF THE QUEEN DOWAGER.
The following notice cn the paper took precedence
of the other business of the Court :—" To express the
sense of the Court on the melancholy event of the
demise of her Majesty the Queen Dowager."
Sir neren LAURIE said the first business of the
Cow t was to agree to a resolution of condolence with
her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, and the rest
of the royal family upon the lamented death of the
Queen Dowager. He felt the greatest anxiety to
propose a resolution to that effect, inasmuch as her
late Majesty had dope him the high honour of visiting
the Mansion-home in his mayoralty—an honour, the
recollection of which could never be effaced from his
memory. The announcement of the event to which
he alluded had been entered upon the records of the
court, and he cherished a lively memory of the extra-
ordinary kindness and courtesy with which her late
Majesty had, upon an occasion of so interesting a
nature, replied to the tokens of respect and affection
with hich the royal visit had been received.—(Hear.)
It would be almost unnecessary to detain the Court a
moment in describing the excellence of a character
w Lich had been so long distinguished for the exercise of
virtues the example of which had produced so noble
an effect upon the society she moved in. It had been
said of George 111. that the irreproachable character
and:conduct of that Sovereign had accomplished more
in advancing the interests of the nation than the army
and navy of which England had so much reason to
be proud. It might be said of the late Queen Dow-
ager that the acts of her private life exhibited a variety
of excellence calculated to heighten the estimation in
which she had lived as the consort of the Sovereigns
—(Hear, hear.) lie had looked at the record of the
, Court on the event of the 'death of his Royal Highness
the Duke of York, and he found that Alderman

Brown, the present excellent Chamberlain of the
City, had upon that occasion moved a resolution of
34 condolence to the members of the royal family, and
that he had seconded the motion. The court was, he
believed, restricted to the use of a mere resolution of
condolence, and had not the privilege of approaching
the throne with an address. He should, therefore,
move a resolution expressive of the feeling of the
Court upon the loss of an exalted individual who bad
been remarkable for deeds of charity and the most
unbounded benevolence;,-AfTear, hear) Sir Peter
Laurie then moved_ resolution.
Alderman Ilutth?.44.i said it would give him the
highest gra:ls4oo . second the resolution. Be
had also a grt44ll*ollection of the visit of Queer*
Adelaide to the Tilartion-house, for he had attended
as one of the sheriffs during the mayoralty of Sir
Peter Laurie, When Queen Adelaide partook of s
dijeuner at that place of civic festivity.—(Bear, hear.)
The resolutLn was then agreed to unanimously''
and was or!ered to be advertised in the morning and
evening newspaper:.

THE CITY PRHONS.
Mr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE, and Alft
NicoLL, the other sheriff, presented the reports frell
the several prisons of the City. The health of the
inmates was represented as very good, and the condi'
tion of the prisons was stated to be extremely clean
and well ventilated.
➢lr. Alderman LAWRENCE presented petitions frail
,„. Bezor and Shaw, the Chartists, at present confined
in Newgate, praying for a relaxation of the restric-
tions to which they had been subjected in comae'
quence of their misconduct, which, after a 104
discussion, were referred to the Gaol Committee.
THE ROYAL ARTILLERY COMPANY.
Mr. Alderman lloorers moved, within closed doors,
as we were given to understand, that it be referred
to the Committee of Privileges to inquire into the
recent changes made in the Honourable the Royal
Artillery Company, and to report to the Court the
result of that inquiry.
The motion was agreed to.
