A COURT of ALDERMEN was held yesterday at
Guildhall, which was attended by the Lord Mayor,-17 Alder-
men, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and City-officers. His Lordship
came in State upon the occasion of the swearing in two new
Aldermen. His Lordship having made u report of the Election
in Langbourn Ward, John Key, Esq. attended by several of
the Common Council and princal inhabitants of the Ward,
was introduced to the Court in due form, and took the oaths
and his seat. The Lord Mayor then reported the Election in
the Ward of Farringdon-Within, when John Crowder, Esq.
was in like manner attended and presented, and took the usual
oaths and his seat. Mr. John Jackson was admitted, and sworn
a Coal-Meter in trust for the City. Thu Court were occupied
at considerable length upon a report relative to the appointment
of Receiver of the Orphans' Dues on Wine. Mr. Alderman
Cox was appointed to the vacant situation. Precepts for a
'Common hall, for the election of Officers, were directed to be
issued. Courts of Conservancy were appointed to be held for
Essex and Kent on the 12th, and for Surrey and Middlesex on

The town of Liverpool was on Wednesday
placarded with handbills, offering a bounty of
four pounds for recruits who might be disposed
to enlist for the Colombian service. In conse-
quence of this information Government sent off
directions last night to have the provisions of the
Foreign Enlistment Act carried into effect against
any individuals who might be guilty of a breach
of its'enactments. This act makes it a misde-
rneanou► ir, pesons either enlisting or persuading
to enlist into the service of any Foreign Power.
An honest German being told in his own coun-
try that Buonaparte was dead, shook his head, and said to hit
informant—" Buonaparte dead ! Ah, you don't know him."

A soldier, aged 25, was tried at Paris, during
the French Revolution, for polygamy. He had married twenty-
six wives, and had as many ch►ldren. He was sentenced to a
fortnight's imprisonment.
G LUTTONY.—Titus Angles, of Darlington, has
again shown symptoms of a voracious appetite,
by devouringjive pounds and a half of old bacon,
nauseous to an extreme. After finishing his re-
past, he was taken in triumph round the town in
a cart, and afterwards ducked in the Skerne.

A NEW METHOD OF THIEVING.—A fellow,
dressed like a servant, called at the shop of Mr.
KERNOCK, Surgeon, in Regent-street, West-
minster, and, in seeming haste, said he had been
sent from Pimlico, requesting the Doctor's
immediate attention on a Lady suddenly taken
ill, and he was not to leave until the Gentle-
man accompanied him. Mr. KERNOCK desired
the fellow to sit down in the parlour while he
went up stairs to adjust his dress, but on his re-
turn the messenger had tied, having broken
open the Surgeon's desk, and taken away be-
tween %V. and 301. in money.
