Great exertions were made by the Tory party to elect two
of the old aldermen, who were not returned as Councillors, but
they were defeated ; the return seems to give general satisfac-
tion. It is supposed that Mr. W. H. Butler, a Liberal, will
be elected Mayor.

COVENTRY.
ALDERMEN.

On Thursday the magnificent building, St. Mary's Hall, was
for the first time appropriated to the use of the new Town
Council, a body freely and openly elected by the citizens.
Shades of departed Corporators—what a stone I The boards
and tables of this noble room, which formerly used to groan
under the weight of civic feasts, and whose roof has so often
resounded with with the revelry of Aldermanic Bacchanalians ;
in the precincts and purlieus of which, all manner of dark and
unholy deeds have been transacted, and all sorts of vice, immo-
rality, and excess, found a hiding place. The door s are at
length thrown open, and the floors trodden by a reformed, a
responsible, and, we trust, an honest Corporation.
The following gentlemen, all decided Reformers, were then
chosen without opposition :
To sit for six years.

Henry Cadwallader Adams, Esq.:, of Anstey.
Charles Harris, Esq., of Fleet-street.
Mr. John Phillips, of Stoke.
Mr. Bryan Dunn, of Smithford-street.
Mr. Joseph Howe, of Spon-street.
Mark Pearmen, Esq., of Little Park-street.
To sit for three years.
Mr. Thomas Howell Merridew, of Hertford-place,
Mr. Thomas Tann, of Earl-street.
Mr. John Smith, of Well-street.
Mr. Samuel Hennell, of Hill-street.
Mr. Joseph Newton, of Cross-Ceeaping.
Mr. William Sargeant, of Stoke, and Little Park-street.
MAYOR AND SDEMPF.

Mr. A. Herbert proposed, and Mr. Hands seconded, Henry
Cadwallader Ada ns, of Anstcy, Esq., to fill that office, which
upon being put, was carried amidst great cheering.
Mr. Cleophas Ratcliff was proposed by Mr. William Clarke,
and seconded by Mr. A. Rotheram, to fill the office of Sheriff
for the ensuing year, and was unanimously elected.
All these gentlemen are good Reformers.
