LICENSING IN THE CITY.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the hearing of
the opposed applications to the City Magistrates for
licenses, the Court at the Guildhall was crowded by
many anxious visitors.
In Portsoken Ward, William Lake applied for a license
for his house, No. 73, in the Minories.
Deputy TY ARS (of the Ward of Portsoken), assured
ti e Court that there was no occasion for anv new hotte,
as the neighbourhood swarmed with public-hotbies, there
Icing no fewer than 21 of them within a very limited cora-
-1 ass, and actually starving each other out.
License refuse.' without hesitation.
Mr. PAY NR, the barrister, applied for a license for
George Malkin, of No. 3, Noble•strect, Aldersgate
Within. The petition in favour of the license was signed
by 82 persons, 3/ of them were connected with the Post-
office, and the license was only opposed by one individual,
and he was a publican.—License refused.
Mr. CLARKSON applied for a license for John Neigh-
bour, of No. s(>, Cannon-street. The applicant's peti-
tion stated that his house was an eating-house, at which
on the average 130 persons dined daily, and that a great
many of them were very.reluetant to leave it after dinner
without partaking of wine or spirits. The recommenda-
tion was signed by 75 persons, and stated that the house
should not be converted Into a gin shop.—License refused.
Mr. CLARKSON applied for a license for Samuel Moline,
of No. 11, Ironmonger-lane.
Mr. LAURIE opposed the application. He considered
that necessity was the only ground of application,
.and
there existed no necessity for additional nuisances in that
neighbourhood, in which there were already thirteen all
closely packed together.—License refused.
Mr. PAYNE applied for a license for Francis Jones, of
No. 11, Poultry. and No. 36, Bucklersbury, called the
Albion I- Ltd. If atuot appear to the Court that the
ownership was satisfactorily proved, and Mr. Payne with-
drew the application for the present.
Mr. JAMES applied for a license for Eliza Ann How, of
No. 52, Moorgate•.street. The house is a respecttble
coffee-house.—License refused.
A license was granted to John Belton for the Fountain
Tavern in Redcross-street, the old houEc having beep
pulled down.
A license was applied for WilliamLowis for the Fling
Horse, Milton-street, the old house having teen pulled
down. _ _

Sir MATTHEW WOOD (the Alderman of the Ward) said
that he by no means objected to re-licensing the house,
but ho was sorry to say that there were many public-
houses is the Ward which %ere not getting a living for tho
proprietors.
Mr. LAURIE said that there was no petition against a
license to the house in question, but he submitted that the
evidence first•giren by the Alderman of the Ward ought
to be conclusive. There were already too many public-
houses in the neighbourhood, and, therefore, it would be
charitable to those houses, as well as to the owner of the
Flying Horse, to refuse to allow a house, under such cir-
cumstances, to be re-opened.
Mr. CLARKSON--Fur whom do you attend ?
Mr. LAURIE—For the Licensed Victuallers of the ward(
where the house is in.
Mr. CLARKSON—Then let some of your clients give up
their nuisances.—(Laughter. )
Sir P. LAURIE—The Bench are of opinion that it is a fit
house to be licensed.—License granted.
Mr. Woolen applied for a license for Thomas Jordan,
for No. 99, Holborn-hill—License refused.
The Licenses, which were postponed at the General
Mecting on the Bth of March, were then, after some ani-
maversions upon the proprietors for the violations of tFe
law of which they had been guilty, and for which they had
been few 1, were then renewed. A few applications were
ordered to "be report rd on the apper.l day.—Adjourned.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, MARCH 6.—Our papers are full of news relative
to the different meetings of the States of the Kingdom. Their
elements arc as different as the names and families of the
members, and the interest of the several provinces as opposite
as anything can be. It will, therefore, be rather difficult to
reconcile them, and much will depend on the ability of the
" Marshals" of the " Landtage," as the meetings of the States
of the provinces are styled. The transactions of the meetings
of the States are regularly published in the papers, and the
State Gazette, a very dry and uninteresting paper, seems to
indulge particularly in these home news. .
Count Bresson, the French Ambassador, is gone to Paris,
in order to vote for the fortifications. Ile is generally
esteemed here, and is, as I know from personal knowledge,
a very sensible and clever man. He was much in favour
with the late King of Prussia, who was fond of a certain
openness of character, and, as much as I know, the present
ruler has imbibed this predilection. In case (as the rumour
goes) Count Pontois should succeed Count Bresson, the dif-
ference between these two people will be sensibly felt, as the
former is but a courtier, and full of the pretensions of the
haute volee. The death of the Elcct.ress ti Hesse, a sister of
the late King, and an excellent woman, has caused a tempo-
rary interruption in the Court festivals. There are now but
two brothers of the late King alive—Prince Henry, who lives
at Rome, and has, it seems,given up the idea of returning to
'his native guntry, and Mace *Hiram, the younger brother,
who slurried Princess of Hesse Homburg, sister to the pa-
sent tandgrave of Hesse, and sister-in law to the late Princess
Elizabeth of England.
Professor Von Sehelling, the famous philosopher, is ex-
pected here. This is now the second professor whom we
got from Bavaria. The first professor, Stahl, is a Jew, and
not much liked by the students, who are averse to his doc-
trines of absolutism, and to the principles of the Hallerian
school, which he professes.
