TESTIMONIAL to MR. SHERIFF
LAURIE.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting was held this day at the London Tavern,
Bishopegate-street, of the friends of Mr. Sheriff Laurie, for
the purpose of making arrangements to present him with a
testimony of the estimation of his fellow-citizens, for his
exertions in endeavouring to procure refuge for destitute
prisoners discharged from custody.
Henry T. Richardson, Esq., presided, and John Lilley,
Esq.; proposed, and Lieutenant Colonel Moody, seconded the
following resolution, which was carried unanimously
That the conduct of Mr. Sheriff Laurie in the discharge
of his high office offers an example which it is for the benefit
of mankind to hold up to imitation—that his benevolent
anxiety on behalf of the most destitute of human bei igs, con-
victed prisoners, forced, by the absence of all possible refuge, to
continue in a course of guilt which they are earne-tly de-
sirous to renounce, reflects equal honour on his judg-
ment and his philantrophy, while the use he
makes of his official opportunities and experience in
this behalf happily distinguish hiS shrievalty in public
benefit in value ter above the most magnificent display—that
his fellow-citizens assembled at this meeting are able fully
to carry out such, his benevolent efforts, are yet proud to
avail themselves of the means of manifesting their sympathy
with his object, therefore propose to present Mr. Sheriff
Laurie a fitting testimonial, whereby they may record his
endeavours, and their own appreciation of them.'
A Committee was then appointed, and a vote of thanks
passed to Mr. Richardson, and the meeting adjourned.

ADJOURNED GENERAL LICENS-

ING DAY FOR THE CITY.
This morning an adjourned annual licensing day for the
City of London was held at Guildhall, before the Lord Mayor
and Aldermen, to grant billiard licenses, &c., on which
doubts had arisen at the last meeting.
Mr. D. Wlnu appeared on behalf of Mr. Stabbing, of
Sherborne-lane, for a license to two houses, in that place and
in Cannon-street. The magistrates, however, considered
that they could only grant a license to one house. Mr.
Wire now contended that the magistrates were not restricted,
but that it was entirely discretionary on their part, and the
applicant was recommended by the ward authorities. The
application was granted.
The other applications for licenses were granted in all the
cases recommended by the ward authorities. They were,
however, prohibited against allowing playing on Kinds,ys,
which had heretofore been the case.
Mr. WIRE applied for a license for Mrs. Davis, the widow
of Mr. Cyrus Davis, a licensed victualler in Giltspur.street,
who died suddenly without making a will, and the time had
not expired for obtaining letters of administration.
The Court granted the license to the public-house, but bald
that they could not grant the billiard license.

CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY).
OBSTRUCTIONS BY RAILWAY WAGGONS.—Henry Thompson,
driver of one of Pickford and Co's. waggons, attended on a
summons for causing an obstruction in Wood-street, at eight
o'clock in the evening of the 16th inst.
From the evidence of two police-constables, it appeared
that the defendant was engaged in covering the goods in the
waggon, and refused to go on, causing a delay of five
minutes.
The ALDERMAN said that ought to have been done in the
yard. He said that the great number of waggons now sent
out to the different railroads rendered it necessary that the
officers should be strict in the performance of their duty in
preventing obstructions. He would only place a small fine,
in the hope that Messrs. Pickfurd and Co. would give orders
to prevent a recurrence of the complaint.
A Clerk from the firm, who was in attendance, said their
men were ordered to go on. without delay..
The defendant was fined ss.

PEDESTRIANISM.—FOOT-RACE AT MANCHESTER FOR
100/. A-SlDE.—William Howarth (of Bolton) and Thomas Brian (of
Bradford) ran 200 yards, on Tuesday, at the Bellevue-ground, Man-
chester, for the above large stake. The assemblage was unusually
large, and the Yorkshire division backed their champion at 5 to 3, at
which price an immense deal of money was, risked against Brian by
the Lancashire people. At starting Howarth took the lead, but was
passed about the 50th yard by Brian; he again, however, showed
foremost when 100 yards had been covered. He could not, however,
hold his ground, the Bradford man outpaced him, and ran in a
triumphant winner by five yards, amid the shouts of his partisans.
Inwood and Rawlings's race of one mile, for 251. a-side, fixed for
Tuesday, did not come off, Rawlings forfeiting 15/., his health not
permitting him to contend.
Died on the 27th instant, at Knightsbridge, Miss Daw,
who with Mrs. Langford, was the originator of preparatory schools
in Phillmore-place, Kensington, nearly 60 years ago, and from thence
she continued (soaring high amid all her content') raries) at Tuntham •
green, dining a period of 40 years. She retired from her labours 11
years since. Her health has been throughout very delicate; and
after sojourning in this world of trial until she attained her 90th
year, has been called to abetter world, leaving behind her a cha-
racter full of the milk of human kindness, and greatly lamented by
all who knew her. Peace to her manes.
TERRIFIC TII UNDER STORM AT SO U THAN ETON.—
About half past one o'clock on Thursday, a fearful thunder storm
burst with great violence over Southampton and neighbourhood, con-
tinuing for about half an hour. several peals followed each other in
rapid succession, shaking the strongest warehouses and buildings;
the flashes of lightning were awfully grand, and as vivid as those
witnessed during the hottest months of tile year. Hailstones fell of
great size, and were then succeeded by snow and rain, continuing
with but short intervals till alter sunset. We are happy to hear no
serious accidents occurred.
The Earl of Aberdeen has resigned the Presidency
of the Royal Society of Antiquaries, and it is rumoured that his
Lordship's successor will be Prince Albert, Dr. Prsetorius, or Viscount
Mahon, the latter et' whom, it is understood, would thus have an
opportunity of vacating his seat, under Lord Jocelyn, at the Board of
Control.—Post.

THE BATTLE OF ALIwAL.—A letter received from
an officer engaged in the Aliwal affair observes that it was a superb'
sight to see the 16th Lancers with the Native Cavalry breaking
through the Khalsa square the former cutting up like fury. Shawls
and gold bracelets without end fell into the hands of the victors.—
