COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday the Court of Aldermen was held pursuant
to adjournment, for the purpose of settling the redoubtable
point of debate relative to the Civic Address of congratu-
lation to her Majesty on the event of her recent nuptials.
A great number of Aldermen were present.
After a desultory conversation, in which Sir Peter
Laurie, Alderman T. Wood, and Brown, took a prominent
part,

Sir WILLIAM HETGATE, Bart., as the senior Alderman
present, after some prefatory observations, then moved that
the former resolution be rescinded.
Alderman BROWN seconded the motion, and said the
quarrel Detween the House of Commons and the City of
London ought not to interfere with their duty and allegi
ance to the Sovereign and the illustrious House of which
she was a member—with that quarrel, however much it was
to he regretted, her Majesty had nothing to do.--( Hear.)
Sir P. LAURIE said that he had been of opinion that
they ought not to go up without the Sheriffs, but under
circumstances he would waive the objection.
Alderman KELLY said that, when he was Lord
Mayor, he went to learn her Majesty's pleasure as to when
she would dine with the citizens, unattended; therefore he
saw no impropriety in the Lord Mayor going up on the
present occasion.

Alderman WILSON regretted exceedingly that thi ad
dress had not gone up before.
It was finally resolved and agreed to that the Lord
Mayor, attended by the Recorder and Remembraneer,
should go to Court to ascertain her Majesty's pleasure as
to when she would receive the address. It was also agreed;
that an address should be presented to Prince Albert and
the Duchess of Kent. The Court then adjourned.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

THE ADDRESS OF CONGRATULATION TO
THE QUEEN, UPON HER MAJESTY'S
MARRIAGE, &c.

Yesterday, a Court was hed for the purpose of con
sidering the propriety of rescinding the resolution paSsed
at a former Court, that the Sheriffs should go up to the
Throne to ascertain when her Majesty would be pleased
to receive the address of the Court of Common Council
upon her marriage.
Mr. W. LAWRENCE said, that although he deeply
regretted the inability of the Sheriffs to attend upon the
important occasion of presenting the address to her
Majesty, he could not but think that the Court would
appear to be guilty of want of loyalty if they declined,
from whatever cause, to go to the foot of the Throne
with their congratulations as soon as possible. Even if
no precedent existed for waiting upon the Sovereign
without the Sheriffs, they ought at once to pay that
tribute of respect. There was another subject on which
it would be necessary for them to go to the foot of the
Throne, and if in the one case they could not actin the ab•
sence of the Sheriffs, they certainly could not in the other.
lie lamented that addresses from other bodies would
reach her Majesty before that of the Corporation of
London, but he trusted that the Court would, though
late, be unanimous.--(Hear, hear.) He then moved
that the Lord Mayor, attended by the Recorder and
Remembrancer should go up to the Queen, to learn
when her Majesty would be graciously pleased to re-
ceive the address of the Corporation, &e.
Mr. STEVENS seconded the motion.

Mr. ANDERTON said it was his intention, though he
should stand alouev to move the previdas question.—.
—(Hear, hear, and loud cries of" No, no.") Ho was
not wanting in loyalty and attachment to the Sovereign,
and he was as desirious as any member to attend with
the address, but he wished that the Sovereign should bo
waited upon in the customary form. If the Court could
not carry out their resolution in its true spirit, it was not
their fault. They ought to act at all events with consis-
tency, and not abandon on one day what they advocated
on a day or two before. It would supply Lord John
Russell with an argument for saying that the Court
would bark but was afraid to bite, and that it woßld
eventually adopt the views of the Ministers. Suppote,
the Court went up to the Queen without their Sheriff,
would they not be a pretty laughing-stock to all who
witnessed the cavalcade.—(A laugh.) He would
not march through Coventry with such a pack.—(Loud
laughter.) They were to wear white favours, toot it
appears.—(Cries of " Certainly.") White favours in-
deed! He had provided himself with a parcel of snob
white favours as those who advocated such a proposi•'
tion deserved to wear.—(Here Mr. Anderton produced
a bundle of goose-feathers.) Yes, they ought all to be
distinguished by white favours of that kind, for they
had shown the white feather with a vengeance.—(Roars
of laughter.) He concluded by moving the previous
question.

Mr. WELLS seconded tha amendment. He had bees
sent to the Court by a large body of the constituency,
and he could not violate the trust reposed in him by as-
senting to that which would be an essential departure films
established practice. He was surprised to find that
some gentlemen who had so resolutely contended for
the maintenance of the privilege of going with the
Sheriffs, were now adopting quite a contrary course
while others were absent, because they did not like to
eat their own words.

Mr. R. TAYLOR said they had assembled to congra-
tulate the Queen, and not to mix up with their con-
gratulation a subject with which her Majesty had
nothing to do. The Court was bound to maintain its
character for discrimination with the country, and the
matter ought not to have been treated with the levity
just displayed.
Mr. ANDERTON-It was no levity.
Mr. TAYLOR liked a joke as well as any man, and
if he were to judge from whence the goose quills came,
he would certainly say that the worthy member who
displayed them had plucked them from his own wing.
—(Laughter.)
Mr. BURTON (of Alderagate Ward) said that the
question of congratulation was quite distinct froes
that which had been mixed up with it. He regretted
that a man so gallant as the worthy member who
had exhibited the white favours bad expressed his in-
tention not to accompany the rest of the troop
ttoo
Co-
ventry—(Laughter)—for that Hon. Gentleman bad on
a former occasion distinguished himself, greatly
the
amusement of his fellow-citizens, on horseback, and it
would be a serious loss if he did not take his ata.tio;
when the Address should be presented. It was evi-
dent that Mr. Anderton bad not plucked the realm.,
from his own wing, however well furnished the :ranee
might consider him to be with that description of orna-
ment. To be sure he might have plucked them front
the wing of the worthy seconder of his amendment,
who appeared to be always in full feather.—(Great
laughter.) That worthy gentleman had stood forward
with the evident determination to do all the business of
the Corporation, and put him in mind of Bottom the
weaver, who wanted not only to play Pyramus and
Thisbe, but the hole in the wall, and the lion, that
would roar you like any sucking-dove !--(Roars of
laughter.)
Mr. W. JONES considered that the time had arrived
when the Court ought to go up with the Address.
Mr. BAYLIS said that he could not conceal his con-
viction that any step the Court had taken till now, with
regard to the Address, was a downward step is the
course ofreyutation and character.—(Cries of " Hear,
hear," and " No, no.") They were daily losing ground
in public opinion, by mixing up questions-so totally dis-
tinct. What in the name of common sense had the
Queen to do with the question before the Courts of
Law and the House of Commons ? Her Majesty
could be made a party to it only b) a proceeding against
the people's representatives, which would be also
against the spirit of the British Constitution.—(Hear,
hear.) Thera should be nothing like conditional loy-
alty on this on 3 of the most interesting and one of the
most important events of our time.—(Hear, hear.)
He hoped Mr. Anderton would withdraw the amend-
ment and let the Court come to an unanimous vote oa
the question.

After a few words from Mr. PEWTaESS and ether
Members, a division took place, when there appeared-~

EVENING EDITION.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

ilOll TU ZVININS PATERS Cl TEITZILDAT•
(From the Giobe.)
The debate in the House of Commons last night, on
Lord Stanley's motion for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend the laws relating to the registration of voters in
Ireland, was more temperate than discussions on Irish
queetione have usually proved. No opposition was
made to the introduction of the Bill. Lord Morpetb, how-
ever, stated explicitly that by assenting to the introduc-
tion of the Bill he by no means agreed in the propriety of
the measure, or in tthe correctness of the details by
which its necessity had been urged. His Lordship's
explanation of the principles on which he designed to
be guided in legislating on the Irish franchise, and in
which we feel persuaded his Lordship will be supported
by the majority of the House of Commons, affords but
small hope to Lord Stanley and his supporters that they
will be able to acoomplish the object to which we are
justified in saying their sleepless energies are directed.
Lord Morpeth intimated pretty significantly his
suspicions of the object, though carefully concealed
under the plausible exterior assumed for the occasion.
When Lord Stanley professes more than ordinary
liberality, it is only natural to wait for the proof
before faith be placed in the profession. We think
the language used by Lord Morpeth conveys the
meaning we have assigned to it, and shows that
his Lordship is wide awake to the interests of the
Irish people, and to the designs of the Tory faction,
come forth in what shape they may—" With whatever
ingenuity the Bill might be framed, however well cal-
culated it might be to effect its own objects, and what-
ever collateral and incidental advantages it might pos-
sess, still, if he were convinced in his own mind that its
tendency would be to narrow and obstruct the political
rights of the people of Ireland, he would offer his de-
cided opposition to the further progress of the measure."
(From the Courier.)
The Bill to amend the laws relating to the registra-
tion of Irish voters which Lord Stanley last night ob-
tained permission to introduce, embraces such extensive
improvements in the present system, that, we believe,
we cannot more usefully employ ourselves than in
briefly explaining the prevalent abuses, and the means
of redress which his Lordship contemplates. His prin-
cipal object is to assimilate as nearly as possible the
mode of registering the voters in England and Ireland,
without in the slightast degree interfering with the
elective franchise. One does not very clearly see any
ground for opposition to a reform, at once moderate and
requisite ; but the proposal to introduce the Bill was
followed by a warmer discussion than might have been
expected. We refer to the debates for several objec-
tions which were taken to the measure after leave was
given to bring in the Bill, and shall merely notice
Lord Nlorpeth's flippant and puerile attempts at sar-
casm as indicative of the absence of sound reason for
rejecting the proposed reform. The small wit in charg-
ing the Noble Lord " with merging his character of an
obstructor into that of a constructor," is beneath con-
tempt, and was very appropriately seconded by an Irish
howl from O'Connell, who sensibly perceives that Lord
Stanley's Bill will prove a death-blow to corruption.

(From the Standard.)
Nothing can be better timed than Lord Stanley's
motion for assimilating the Irish to the English
registration ; and no man is so properly fitted to
take up the question as the Noble Lord. We
hear on every side—in some instances from quarters
from which we hear it with pain—that it is necessary,
in order to do justice to Ireland, to assimilate all
Irish institutions to the corresponding institutions in
this country ; and to this supposed necessary process
of assimilation the "time-honoured" Protestant corpo-
rations of Ireland are to be sacrificed, making way for
Romanist municipalities. It is not competent, then, to
those who clamour against a diversity of municipal institu-
tions, to insist upon a diff:rence in the electoral system.

PORTUGUk-;SE

CLADIS ON

COLUNIBO.

Sortie excellent papers upon the Portuguese claims on
Columbo have appeared in the Pobres of Oporto and the
Correio de Lisboa. A letter signed " Scrutator." in the
latter journal, states the whale matter very clearly. The
history of the case appears to b:, this:—The first inter-
course of the Portuguese with Ceylon was in 1503 or
1506, when Almeyds was forced in there by stress of
weather. He, it appears, succeeded in forming a treaty
with the Sovereign of the country, by which the latter
was to pay a yearly tribute of 25J,000!h5. of cinnamon in
return for the Portuguese defending him against foreign
invasion. In 1525 permission was given to build a fortress
at Columbo. From this time till 160'2 con...taut wars
took place between the natives and the Portuguese. At
the latter period the Dutch Admiral Spilbergen offered
iais aid to the Ceylonese to expel the Portuguese. In
1612 an ambassador was sent by Holland to the King of
Candy, and a treaty was concluded with the Dutch, who
agreed to defend him a,ainst the Portuguese, receiving in
return the right to build a fort at Cattiericn, and that no
European nation should have the right of trading without
leave of the Dutch. All the efforts of the Portuguese
against the alliance were in vain, and in 1656 Columbo
surrendered to the Dutch, as did their other forts of Man-
.dar and Jafnapatam in 1658. The King of Candy, in re-
turn for their asyistanee, gave the Dutch the pert of Trin-
comalee and fortress of Columbo, also Port de Grille ; and
the Dutch at once set about improving Columbo, and
strengthening its fortifications.
In 1661 (June 23) a treaty was concluded at Whitehall
between Portugal and England. By the 14th article it
was agreed that if Ceylon fell into the hands of Portugal,
Porte de Galle was to be given over to England, with
fall dominion; if on the other hand, Ceylon fell into the
Stands of England, the town and port of Columbo were to
be restored to Portugal. In August of the same year a
treaty of peace was, however, concluded between Portugal
and Holland, by which the Dutch retained all their con-
quests—no reservation being made by Portugal of any
territory in Ceylon. In 1669 another treaty was made,
and Portugal formally recognised the right of the Dutch
to all the territories they had taken, and thus struck at the
root of its previous engagement with England. In 1692
by another treaty, Portugal confirmed all the conditions
of the treaties of 1661 and. 1669.
Columbo remained in possession of the Dutch, who ex-
tended their:dominion nearly over the whole island, until
taken by England in 1795. It, as well as the other Dutch
possessions there, was ceded to England at the peace of
Amiens. No claim was put in by Portugal on this occa-
Lion, nor in 1814 or 1815. It appears that some instruc-
tions were sent to the Portuguese Minister in London in
1817, but no steps were taken ; the pretensions being. no
doubt, thought too ridiculous. The subject remained
dormant till 1838, when Viscount Sade 13andeira examined
the subject, but he, never brought it forward. Baron
de Ribeira de Sabrosa followed the same course until after
he was actually out of office, when he introduced it in a
declamatory note, totally unsupported by any authority.

SURCHARGES FOR GAME CERTIFICATES._
The pleasures attending hare hunting have up to the present
time been occasionally enjoyed by almost every class in this
country with little or no interruption from the law. The
gentleman and the tradesman on horseback, and the mechanic
and labourer on foot, have jained in the hunt, promoted by aurae
good English Squire, who maintains such an establishment
more fur the amusement of his tenants and neighbours
than for his own gratification. The injury sustained by farm-
ers from fox-hunting, it has been said, is but trivial as com-
pared with the damage done by hare-hunting, because the fox
leads his pursuers many miles directly away from the spot where
he is found, hut the hare rarely takes a circuit of more than
a mile, and more freqeently than otherwise returns to die
within a short distance of the spot where first started.--
The persons congregate therefore for some time upon
the same farm, and it has been remarked that those on foot
commit greater depredation than the equestrians—they act as
sappers and miners, and destroy the fences to enable the horse-
men to move from one field to another. Thus the certificated
sportsman in many instances enjoys no greater privileges than
those who have been subjected to this tax ; and as the poor man
who kills a rabbit is, on being convicted, first subjected to
three months' hard labour, and is afterwards surcharged for a game
certificate, which if he cannotpay he is committed till he satisfies
the demand; the Surveyor of Taxes for the district lately sur-
charged thirteen persons who were found hunting with Mr.
Tufnell'e harriers. The surcharge was for a game cir-
tificate, which subjected
fixed
parties to seven guineas each.

Ti it LATE SIR F. L. MAITLAND. The
cease of Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland de"
Commander in Chief in the East Indies, took place,'cel(•hCc;enrCi
his flag-ship. the Wellesley, 72, at sea, in the vicinity
Bombay, on the 30th of December last. Sir Frederick, w '-''f
expired in the 63rd year of his age, was descended from
thoe
noble house of Lauderdale ; he has at all times borne with ho-
nour and credit his character as an officer and a gentleman,
and to that we will add a thorough seaman, warmly and si-
cerely attached so his profession; he entered at an early age,
and became Lieut. of the Andromeda in 1795. Sir Frederick
was ever an active man, and in 1800 brought home overland
the despatches of Sir Sidney Smith, detailing his successful
efforts in effecting the treaty of El Arish. This treaty not be-
ing acceded to by Lord Keith, led to the Egyptian expedi-
tion : on that memorable occasion Captain Maitland covered
the landing of Abercrombie's troops with the armed launches of
the feet, and subsequently protected one of the wines of nue
army, with the boats, in the lake of Aboukir. In thee Dragon
and Loire Captain Maitland was eminently serviceable to his
f country, and by his discernment and energy in the latter ship,
led to the action of Sir Robert Calder's squadron with the
combined Spanish and French fleet. Captain Maitland sub-
sequently commanded the Emerald, and in the American war
obtained the Cobalt, razeeil 74. and the Boyne, 98, as nee
Captain to Sir Alexander Cochrane,„
on the coast of America;
; but on the breaking out of the andwtaorethe return of Bonaparte
