trated in a substance about the consistency of butter, and which
may be used in the same way ; and, being put up in neat and port-

ELECTION OF ALDERMAN FOR

THE WARD OF ALDGATE.

Yesterday a Wardmote was held at Ironmonger's Hall,
for the purpose of electing an Alderman for the Ward, in
the room of John Thomas Thorp, Esq., deceased. _ .

The greatest excitement prevailed in the Ward during
the day, and the Hall was crowded with freemen and
other friends of the candidates before the Lcrd Mayor
arrived.

" ISAAC JOLLY, Esq., rose amidst loud cheers to propose
Sheriff Salomons as a fit and proper person to represent
the Ward in the Court of Aldermen. Never had a man,
he said, been proposed under circumstances of such inte-
rest. The situation Mr. Salomons was placed in was the
result of the Reform Bill, •which aimed at the removal of
all their disabilities, which ought not in an enlightened age
to be allowed to exist. Every one present, he believed,
rejoiced in the position which the candidate he proposed
occupied. It was no longer thought necessary to interpose
regulations between the Creator and the creature, but
each person was permitted to think and act for himself on
the score of religion.—(Cheers.) It was next to impos-
sible to find an individual more deserving or better quali-
fied than Mr. Salomons, whose father and grandfather had
resided in the Wird for 80 or 90 years with the very high-
est reputation. The nomination was received with the
loudest cheering.

Mr. DENNIS seconded the nomination.
Mr. W. SIMPSON, of Leadenhall-street, proposed Mr.
Hum phery, M.P. for Southwark:—(Cheers.)
Mr. GagEN, in seconding the nomination, said that Mr.
Humpbery, although comparatively little known in the
Ward, had acted in his canvass with such candour and
propriety as made the most favourable impression upon the
inhabitants.

Mr. JAMES SOPEIt rose to propose Mr. Vim. Law Jones,
who was, he said, twenty years known to him, and had been
for a great many years an inhabitant of the Ward, and was a
fit and proper person to discharge the duties of Alderman.

. .
Mr. SHARPE seconded the nomination. He did so, he
said, under the conviction that four-fifths of the inhabitants
wished to have Mr. Jones for their Alderman.—(Applause
and hissing.) There were 100 persons circumstanced as he
(Mr. Sharpe) was. When Mr. Humphery asked him for
his vote he was not aware that any inhabitant of the Ward
would put up, and his promise depended upon that condition.
Sheriff SALomoN3 then amidst great applause addressed
the meeting. He had, he said, endeavoured through life
to imitate the best models, and in following in the footsteps
of Alderman Thorp, he believed he should not depart from
that course.—(Cheers.) He came forward from motives
of public duty. Having been honoured with the votes of
his fellow-citizens under peculiar circumstances, he thought
it to be his duty to ask the inhabitants of the Ward in which
his family had been so long resident, to allow him to be
their Alderman, in order that he might carry forward still
farther the principles of civil and religious liberty.—(Cheers.)
It had been said that he was a stranger to the Ward. If
the residence of his father or grandfather for 80 or 90 years
constituted him a stranger, he certainly was one. He would,
if he was elected, have such a residence amongst the con-
stituency, as would be at all times accessible upon all busi-
ness ; with respect to his political views, he was determined
to go forward with the progressing party in the reform of
all the institutions of the country.—(Cheers.) People
said that he, situate as he was, ought not to speak of the
church ; but he was determined to speak out. He was
sure that no man could be a good man without feeling the
impulse which religion invariably inspired, and he would be
found as good a member, of the religious community of the
country as any one in it. He would give support to the Esta-
blished Church, at the same time that he would be as unflinch-
ing a reformer of its abuses as any man. It had been
insinuated that he did not entertain a proper feeling towards
the members of his own faith. He replied that he was a
man of no exclusive principles, and he should, upon all
occasions, resist all attempts to influence him to the adop-
tion of any system of preference or partiality. It had also
been insinuated that as he was not a member of the Church
he was not fit to perform the duties of the situation to which
he aspired. He was not such a fool as to come forward
without the determination to do all those duties. His cause
was the cause of Europe. It was the cause of the world.—
(Loud cheering.)
Mr. HUMPHERY rose amidst applause and addressed the
Inhabitants. His observations were chiefly directed 'to the
causes which led to some dissatisfaction in the Ward as
to the last week's proceedings. He had promised the
Committee of Mr. Salomons, that if on his canvass he
should find a majority against him, he would not enter
into a contest. He, however, was exonerated from that,
by finding that there were no less than 126 promises in
his favour, besides which 60 gentlemen signed the requi-
sition to him. He also had said that he would not stand
if any gentleman in the Ward were to offer himself, and
he had been informed by Mr. Jones, that instead of wish-
ing to be an Alderman, he would have nothing whatever
to do with the gown. Having been called upon to be a
candidate, and at a time when no resident would come for-
ward, he could not resist the temptation, and he assured
Mr. Salomons, that had not Mr. Jones started, he (Mr.
Salomons) would not have had the most distant chance of
success.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. JONES declared that he had a strong objection to be
nominated when first the proposition was made to him, and
he still continued disinclined to accept of the honour. He
denied, however, that he had acted at all inconsistently.
He had objected long, but the solicitations of the inhabi-
tants overcame his scruples. He was a 'man of moderate
property, and he had never, either in joke or earnest, ex-
pressed a wish to be an Alderman. For nine days he had
stood against the solicitations of the Ward, and were it not
for the act of others, he would not be addressing the meet-
ing at that moment.
The LORD MAYOR put up the names, when upon a show
of hands there appeared, for .

Sheriff Salornons about 60
Mr. Humphery 4O
Mr. Jones
The LORD MAYOR then announced that the show of hands
was in favour of Mr. Salomons.—(Loud cheers.)
A poll was then demanded on behalf of the other two
candidates.

The polling commenced at four, and ended at six, when
there appeared, for

Salomons -- 49
Humphery .
Jones

The announcement was received with great cheering.
The Wardinute then adjourned to this day at ten o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday the LORD Anton received the following let-
ter, which, if the statement he correct, shows the necessity
of improving the condition of the police in the district to
which it refers :

Oak-hill West, near Tunbridge, Nov. 16.

" Sir—My Lord Mayor,—l consider it my duty to apprise
you that, at the hour of one o'clock this morning, my present
place of residence (situated as above named) was broken into,
and three men, each armed with pistols, made their way from
the basement story, where they effected their entrance, to my
wife's bed-room, who had only been recently confined, and,
after intimidating her by presenting their fire-arms, threaten-
ing murder if she moved or attempted to make and• noise, they
proceeded to ransack and break open her desk and dressing-
case, and possessed themselves of every valuable article
they contained ; after which they proceeded to the room
I temporarily occupy, and, the first intimation I had
was seeing a man with his face partially disguised advancing-
towm-ds me, with a pistol extended, threatening instant death
if I moved, and whilst he stood as sentry over me, the other
two proceeded in their work of plunder, and secured every-
thing within their reach of any value ; money alone in sove-
reigns to the amount of between 2001. and 300/., one gold
chronometer of Arnold's, one guinea-gold watch chain and
seal, and sundry other articles in jewellery of considerable
value. Situated as lam at the present moment, this loss has
fallen very heavily upon me, and I am ill able to sustain the
expense of any measures that may entail a further loss.
" I have been advised, and deem it incumbent on me, to
make a communication to your Lordship on the subject, feel-
ing the most perfect confidence that this appeal to your sense
of public duty will induce you to render me all the assistance
in your power, if even for a partial recovery of the property ;
and which, from my great pecuniary loss, I am unable to com-
mand from myself. It is generally believed that a gang has
