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 fur 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 liivh 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 beings, con-
victed prisoners, forced, by the absence of all possible refuge, to
continue in a curse of guilt which they are earnestly de-
sirous to renounce, reflects equal honour on his judg-
ment and hies philantrophy, while the use he
makes of his official opportunities and experience in
this behalf happily distinguish his shrievalty in public
benefit in value far 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. Iliehardson, and the meeting adjourned.

ADJOURNED GENERAL LICENS

ING DAY FOR THE CITY.

This morning .an adjourned annual licensing day foi the
City of Londun vats held at Guildhall, before the Lord Mayor
and Aldermen, to grant billiard licenses, &c., ou which
doubts had arisen at the last meeting.
Mr. D. Wing appeared on behalf of Mr. Stabbing, of
Sherborne-lane, fo r a license to two houses, in that place and
in Cannon-street. The magistrates, however, considered
that they could es aly grant a license to one house. Mr.
Wire now conte ad ed that the magistrates were not restricted,
but that it was en tirely discretionary on their part, and the
applicant was ri tc )mmended by the ward authorities. The
application was gi antsd.
The other appdi cations for licenses were granted in all the
cases recomtne,ad ed by the ward authorities. They were,
however, prohi bi ted against allowing playing en Sundays,
which had here tc,fore been the case.

Mr. WlREapiilied for a license for Mrs. Davis, the widow
of Mr. Cyrus I) srvis, a licensed victualler in Giltspur-street,
who died suddt oily without making a will, and the time had
not expired for o 'ataining letters of administration.
The Court gi anted the license to the public-house, but held
that they could_ snot grant the billiard license.

CITY IPOLICE COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY).
OBSTRUCTIONS,' :BY RAILWAY WAGGONS. —Henry Thompson,
driver of one of P .ckford and Co's. waggons, attended on a
summons for catnsi ng an obstruction in Wood-street, at eight
o'clock in the e-% rea ling of the IGth inst.
From the evklevice of two police-constables, it appeared
that the defendant was engaged in covering the‘goods in the
waggon, and re fn sed to go on, causing a delay of five
minutes.

The ALDERMAN- said that ought to have been done in the
yard. He said thi d the great number of waggons now 'sent
out to the differeirt railroads rendered it necessary that the
.ifficers should be at rict in the performance of their duty in
preventing obtru,3t. ions. He would only place a small tine,
in the hope that iii ,sis. Pickford and Co. would give orders
to prevent a recurre ice of the complaint.
A Clerk from the firm, who was in attendance, said their
men were ordered tc go on without delay.
The defendant Iv is fined ss.

Bradford) ran 200 yards, on Tuesday, it the Bellevue-ground, Man-
chester, for the above largo stake. She a.semblage 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
trinmpliant winner by live yards, amid the shouts of his partisans.
Introod and Rawlings's rase of one mile, for 251. a-side, fixed for
Tuesday, did not mite off, Rawlings forfeiting 151., his health not
permitting him to contend.

years sine. Her health bus been throughout very dcllcate ; and:
after sojourning in this world of trial until she attained her 90th
year, has been called to a better world, leaving behind her a cha-
racter full of the milk of human kindness, and greatly lamented by
all who knew her. l'eace to her manes.

TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM AT SOUTHAMPTON.—
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 au hour. Several p eals followed each other in
rapid succession, shaking the strongest warehouses and buildings;
the flashes of lightnlng were awfully grand, and as vivid as those
witnessed during the hottest months of the year. Hailstones fell of
great size, and were then succeeded by snow and rain, conthming
,vith but short intervals till after sunset We are happy to hear no
ag..rious accidents occurred,
The Earl of Aberdeen has resigned the Presidency
o r the Royal Society of Antiquaries, and it is rumoured that his
L ordship's successor will be Prince Albert, Dr. Pra3torius, or Viscount
31 :ahon, the latter of whom, it is understood, would thus have an
of Tertnnity of vacating his seat, under Lord Jocelyn, at the iloard of
Control..-Post.

711 E BATTLE or AuwAL.—A letter received from
in aflicer engaged in the .111wal affair observes that it was a superb

through the Khalsa square the former cutting up like fury. Shawls
and gold bracelets without end fell into the hands of the ',dors.—
