Alderman BROWN said that he had entered the Court at
rather a late hour, but, from what he had heard, he had
collected that the Lord Mayor was accused of a violation
of the truth—that his Lordship had given a pledge on all
occasions, unqualified, that he would call any meetings re-
quired of him—and that he had failed in the performance.
Now, he (Alderman B.) apprehended that no gentleman in
that Court tbught the Lord Mayor guilty of a dishonour-
able violation of his word. It seemed to arise from a mis-
understanding as to words.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and
" Yes, yes.") He would then ask any gentleman whether,
Ifter having given his unqualified consent to any proposi-
tion, anything arose which was likely to prove injurious to
tlr public from an adherence to that proposition, he would
consider himself justified in compromising the public ?
whether, even if he had bound himself by an oath, he would
think himself at liberty to observe that oath ?—(Hear, and
cries of " Oh.") If he Court determined in favour of the
exclusion of the Lord Mayor, they would lay themselves
open to the charge of party motives.--(A laugh.) Was
this, he would ask, the first time in which the violation of
truth had been known amongst members of that Court ?
If gentlemen were so very sensitive on this occasion, why
had they allowed the names of others to remain on the
Committees? It appeared that it was no great objection
to people that they departed from the truth for their own
private interests.--( Loud laughter.) He admitted that the
Magistracy should strictly observe the truth, but he submit-
tied to the Court that they ought not to let a misunder-
standing be construed into a deliberate intention to tell a
falsehood. He would ask whether there were not on the
Committees, at that moment, names to which imputations
of the kind might not strongly attach ?—(Loud cries of
•' Name, name.")
Mr. Tickner and Mr. Davison opposed Mr. Wilson's mo-
tion, and Mr. Stevens, Mr. Fletcher, and Mr. C. Pearson
supported it.

The Court then divided, and there appeared for—
Mr. Wilson's motion B5
Against it _ _ _

Majority 26
The LORD MAYOR then rose, and said—Gentlemen, the
vote you have just come to has given me the proudest sa-.
tisfaction.—(Great laughter.) I consider that I have done
what any honest man ought to have done ; at the same time
that I speak of the satisfaction I feel, I am ready to do
suit and service. You have excluded me from the Com•
mittees upon political grounds.—(Loud cries of " No, no.")
I shall steadily pursue the course which I think I am
hound to follow, whatever votes you may fancy to come to
respecting my conduct ; and as I have met with your dis-
approval in my attempt to support the prerogative, which I
shall endeavour to uphold, I repeat that I am proud, most
proud, of your vote for my exclusion.—(Hear, hear, and
loud laughter.)
It was afterwards moved that the name of Sir John
Key should be substituted for that of Alderman Kelly, but
the motion was rejected by a large majority, without a
division.

The Committees were then all appointed, and the Court
adjourned eta late hour.

The Prince of Orange returned to the Hague very un-
well on Saturday, after having been for some time indis-
posed at his head-quarters. The StaatB Courant contains
the following bu:letins relative to his Royal Highness's
health, the last of which happily indicates a state of conva-
lescence :

" Sunday, Jan. 18.
" His. Royal Highness the Field Marshal Prince of Orange
arrived here yesterday evening at half-past seven o'clock; from
his head-quarters. His Royal Highness has been suffering for
this fortnight with a severe cold, which has taken a very serious
turn. His Royal Highness has laboured during the whole
night under a great oppression on the chest, but seems to be
rather easier this morning
" The Hague, Jan. 18

" BERNARD.
" EVERARD." -
" MONDAY, 19th JAN, 8 O'CLOCK A. M.
" His Royal Hi„,,fincss has had a few momenta' rest, and the
symptoms of the disorder are less violent.

" BERNARD.
" EVERARD."
" MONDAY EVENING, S O'CLOCK P. M.
" His Royal Highness is in the same state as this morning.
" BERNARD.
" EVERARD."
" TUESDAY, JAN. 20, S O'CLOCK A. M.
" The fever, which became more violent during the night,
abated about 5 o'clock, and his Royal Highness has since
rested very easily. "BERNARD.

" EVERARD." r
" His Royal Highness had been expected at the Hague, to
join in the celebration of the birth-day of the Princess, on the ,1
19th of this month."
The news received at Amsterdam from the United
States reaches to the 26th ult. It is stated that orders had
arrived at New York from the Naval Board at Washing-
ton, directing that all ships on the stocks should be com-
pleted for sea within one month, and that the directors of
aeveral assurance companies had, at a meeting in Boston,
resolved to introduce in all their policies a clause to save
them from any risk which possibly might arise in conse-
quence of a rupture with France.
Reports relative to the war in the north of Spain, very
unfavourable to the Queen's cause, were circulated on the
Amsterdam Exchange on Tuesday. They seriously affected
the Spanish funds, and had a depressing influence on other
securities.,
From the Hamburg papers we learn that the navigation
of-the Elbe, which had for some days been impeded by ice,
was again free on the 16th. But neither these nor other
German papers contain any thing important.
hAMBURG, JAN. 16.—The weather having become
tallier, with a south wind, the Elbe channel has been pretty
well cleared of the floating ice, so that the navigation is now
open again.

.The-sales of wheat have been of little importance ; only
some small parcels of new Mecklenburg that arrived lately
have been sold. Some small parcels of Marks and Anhalt
have likewise been purchased for consumption here out of
the old stock on board the ships. The small supply of rye,
chiefly brought by land, has been speedily sold at the
current prices for consumption here. We have received
some small supplies of barley by land, and the prices are
almost nominal. What oats have arrived here have been
sold radily for consumption, and also to speculators.

Irho_would_tell a lie, %mad, in his opinion, pick a pocket.—
(Pt.:eat ,tanglitkr.). He, however, considered that the con-
duct imputed to the Lord Mayor, on this occasion, was
rather the cotiduct of Henry Winchester than that of the
Lord Mari. The Court would see the propriety of re-
jecting o:,e proposition of Mr. Wilson, for surely if the
Lord ;',layor was unfit to sit as a member of the Commit-
tee, )Le was unfit to sit as Lord Mayor.
'.dr. TAYLOR said that the standing order was generally
rased to mark the sense the Court entertained of the bad
conduct of its members, and was introduced very appro-
riitely upon this occasion.
'NT% PEWTRESS argued against the conduct of the Lord
Mayor upon the necessity of observing fidelity to promises,
and a regard for truth upon the part of all public func-
tionaries.
