THE CITY MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

Saturday being St. Thomas's-day, pursuant to
annual custom wardmotes were held in the city of
London for the election of common councilmen and
other officers for the year ensuing. The subjects
under discussion were somewhat various, although
the proceedings generally were characterised with
the same gloom which pervades the public in con-
sequence of the lamented death of his Royal High-
ness the Prince Consort. The gas question was
adverted to in several of the wards, as was also the
metropolitan improvement, including the building
of Blackfriars-bridge, widening thoroughfares,
erecting new markets, while, as a rule, votes of con-
dolence were, with fervent expressions of loyalty
and feeling, adopted to the throne, in regard to the
death of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort.
London, England, 1861-12-23

THAMES.

EXTRAORDINARY AND IMPUDENT EDEBERY.--Tw(
rough-looking fellows, who gave the names of John Long
and William Glynn, were charged with entering the dwell-
ing house of William Walker, at No. 3, Orchard-place,
Rateliff, and stealing a quantity of linen.
The prosecutor's wife, Ellen Walker, is a laundress. On
Saturday afternoon she left her parlour and went upstairs
• A few minutes afterwards she heard a noise in the lower
part of the house, and hastily returned to the parlour, when
she had pinned 9 shirts and 2 handkerchiefs some time
before. The whole of them were gone. She instantly
called aloud for help and ran through a kitchen into a wash
house, where she found the whole of the linen in a bag. The
prisoners were at that time in a retiring place in the yard,
and finding they were detected immediately assumed
drunkenness aad began tumbling against each other.
On being asked what business they had on the premises
!they impudently replied, "We have only come to the
closet." Directly afterwards Mr. George Wischar,
!foreigner and commission agent, rushed into the house, and
!assisted in securing the prisoners. He saw them enter the
'house a few minutes previously, and Long had a bag on his
arm. He heard a " great row" five minutes afterwards,
'and suspecting thieves were in the house, went to the as-
isistance of Mrs. Walker, and helped to secure the thieves.
!The bag containing the linen was the one he saw Long
enter the house with.

The prisoners said they were both so drunk they could
!not stand when they were taken into custody, and on being
!told that drunkenness was no excuse for crime, they cress
'examined the witnesses at great length. Long said he had
been a soldier, and gone through the war in the Crimea,
served in India, won several medals, and was discharged
'on the 24th May last.
Mr. Selfe said there had been many brave and honour.
;able men in the army who went to the bad on leaving it,
land became the worst of thieves. If Long had been in the
iarmy, and served his country as represented, be would have
)had no difficulty in obtaining employment. He sentenced
ILong to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and
iGlynn to four months' imprisonment and hard labour.

Dr. Andrew Whyte Barclay said,--I engaged prisoner,
and his wife and daughter, to take care of my house ir,
1852, as domestic servants. I paid prisoner £6O a year and
18s. board wages, besides allowing him other articles. Last
summer I wished to have one new plate I had bought en-
graved, and on asking for it,'it was:missing. :It had been:il-1
the prisoner's charge. I asked him where it was, and he said
he had pledged it and gave me the duplicates. I asked if
he had robbed mo in any other way, and he said he had not.
Knowing that his family were respectable, I discharged
him, telling him that if anything further was found out I
would prosecute him. The next day I found a silver salver
was missing, which prisoner had pledged for £2l, It had
formed no part of the new plate I had previously missed.
Bills then began to come in from tradesmen in my name
which I never ordered. I have also found that a quantity
of wine bad been taken from the cellar, the empty bottles
being placed in the bins with the view of deceiving [me.
Some of the bottles had been filled with water and corked
up, in all about 50 bottles.
In answer to a question, Dr. Barclay said the wine
missing was worth about £3O, and that either prisoner or
himself kept the key. _ _

Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls the pawnbroker in attendance.
Inspector Webb who took the prisoner into custody, said
he was not, though he had been warned to bo.
Dr. Barclay said he had redeemed the salver.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case should be put back till a later
hour, and, if the pawnbroker attended, the case could be
concluded, if not, the prisoner would be remanded.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

IThe country markets held on Saturday were but mode-
rately supplied with wheat; nevertheless, the demand was,
01 a sluggish state at about stationary prices. In the!
`value of spring corn and flour, vary little change took place.l
. .

The French markets come somewhat heavy; but in
Aberica the demand for wheat, flour, and maize for ex-
po,t, has continued active. _ _

- ,
'.'he arrivals of English grain up to our market last,
wok were very moderate. From abroad we received,
72,t89 quarters of wheat, 18,504 barley, 83,321 oats, 456
heals, 2,693 peas, 3,157 tares, 2,198 linseed, 584 rapeseed.

THE CITY MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

Saturday being St. Thomas's-day, pursuant to
annual custom ward motes were held in the city of
London for the election of common councilmen and
other officers for the year ensuing. The subjects
under discussion were somewhat various, although
the proceedings generally were characterised with
the same gloom which pervades the public in con-
sequence of the lamented death of his Royal High-
ness the Prince Consort. The gas question was
adverted to in several of the wards, as was also the
metropolitan improvement, including the building
of Blackfriars-bridge, widening thoroughfares,
erecting new markets, while, as a rule, votes of con-
dolence were, with fervent expressions of loyalty
and feeling, adopted to the throne, in regard to thel
death of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort.

QELF-PRESERVATION.—A popular Essay on
L., Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from injurious
habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which,
by prematurely exhausting the functions of Manhood, de-
stroy the happiness of Married Life or prevent the fulfil-
ment of engagements which constitute the most cherished
objects of existence.
By Dr. lA'MERT, 37, Bedford-square, London.
Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh ;
Member of the loyal College of Surgeons of England, &c.
The above work contains most useful and interesting,
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. it also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
arc lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
' whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou . functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.
At home for consultation daily from 10 till 2, and from 61
till 8, either personally or by letter.-37, Bedford-square.

BELGIUM.

The immediate consequence of the modification in
the Belgian Ministry will be, in all probability, the
recognition of the kingdom of Italy by Belgium.
The Independance Beige says :
"We are informed that the Moniteur will very
shortly publish the Royal decree, appointing an
Envoy-Extraordinary and Minister-Plenipotentiary
at Turin, in the place of M. de Lannoy, deceased."

PRUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin, dated 26th inst., says

" The disturbances have ceased, and order is re-
established in the city. Nevertheless, this affair
has caused great excitement, and the organs of the
feudal press allude to it as a democratic manifesta-
tion. Prince Frederick of Prussia, cousin of the
King, is seriously ill. He has had two or three
strokes of apoplexy, and his legs are paralyzed.
The Prince is in his 67th year. The celebrated
jurist and es-Minister of State, M. de Savigny,
died yesterday at the age of 83. It seems now
certain that a permanent bridge will he erected
over the Rhine at Dusseldorf. The site for the
bridge had long been a matter of discussion, but
Dusseldorf has been selected in consideration of the
railway, which has a terminus there. The new
Polytechnic Institution is to be established at
Cologne. The Palace at Konigsberg is to undergo
full repairs, so as to be ready to receive any mem-
bers of the Royal Family when they may visit that
city. An annual grant of 30,000 dole. has been
made for the purpose."
London, England, 1861-10-29

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

The cases to day were of a very marked character, chiefly
before the Registrars.
In the case of Dodd, of Clerkenwell, &c., architect, assig-
nees were chosen, and Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall-street,
was appointed solicitor to the estate.

Mr. Perry, clerk to Mr. Buchanan, then applied for a
day to be fixed for the last examination and discharge card
(hitherto certificate).
Mr. Hazlitt consulted the other registrars, and said that
the discharge was to be granted at the same meeting as that
for the last examination, or at such other time as the Court
might direct, no day, therefore, would be fixed for the dis-
charge, but application must be made on proving.
One creditor only proving, and choosing himself assig •
nee,

Mr. Irazlitt--Then I suppose the creditor does not call
on the assignee to give security. (Laughter.)

IN RE RICHARDS.

A petition was opened by Mr. Buchanan against this
bankrupt, a grocer at Margate, who surrendered and ob -
tained protection.

IN RE GLASS-EXTENSIVE FAILURE.

A meeting was held for proof of debts and choice of assig-
nees in the case of this bankrupt, a chemical druggist,
Brandon-street, IValworth.

Assignees were chosen, and Mr. Wells, Moorgate-street,
was appointed solicitor. The debts are stated to be between
£6,000 and 7,000; assets small.

received with the greatest sympathy. The orgati-
sation of the Lebanon had been completed, and
Douad Pasha was busy constituting the armtd
force destined to maintain order in the mountains.
Already three companies of Zapties had been
formed, and had been sent in detachments to the
different posts in the mountains."

A Paris correspondent of the Independanee of
Brussels says :—"Nothing has yet been definitively
settled with regard to the affair of Mexico. The
contingent to be supplied by Spain is to amount to
4,500 men, and that number appears to be accepted
by the two other Powers. But no understanding has
been come to as to the respective participation of
each Power in the mixed naval squadron which is
to act on the coast. Moreover, at one time, there
was a question of France sending a demi-brigade,
and now only 1,200 men are spoken of. It is, how-
ever, remarked with justice that France either ought
not to send troops for disembarkation at all, or that
the number of them ought not to be inferior to that
of Spain."

keeping the crew till the arrival at the next port.'
For the absolute subsistence the Board of Trade
will pay, if claimed, which it very seldom is, for the
captain, either from the goodheartedness of a sea-
man, or from the hope of obtE.ining a pre ,:nt, or a
letter of thanks from the Board of Trade, seldom or
ever sends in a bill. Would it not be wise to offer
some reward or premium to every captain who de-
tains his vessel to rescue another ? For then it
would be worth the captain's while to run some
risk to save another in distress.
The Rev. S. H. Jacot has been appointed chap-
lain of her Majesty's ship Saturn, at Pembroke, to
do the duty of the dockyard during the absence, on
sick leave, of the Rev. Mr. Campbell, chaplain of
that establishment.
Mr. William Burdwood, first-class clerk in Pem-
broke yard, has been appointed Admiralty audit
clerk of that naval arsenal.
