PORTSOKEN WARD.

The election just concluded has given rise to *
great deal of speculation in the City. It was yes"
terday reported that Mr. Moon intended to apply for
a scrutiny, it being the belief of his friends that of
the thirty-two majority of Mr. Salomon's supporters
there was not one who can support his title to
vote. If the scrutiny be undertaken and prove suc-
cessful there will of course be an end to all legal in"
terposition, and Mr. Moon will be returned as Alder'
man. Mr. Moon has, however, another expectation,
upon which it is supposed stronger reliance is to be
placed than upon any superiority he may consider him'
self likely to obtain from the examination of the votes on
both sides. His principal dependence, it is asserted,
is placed upon the Court of Aldermen, that bodY
having refused to swear in Mr. Salomons when elected
Alderman of Aldgate Ward, in consequence of hiS
having declined to subscribe the following declata-
tion, a proceeding required by the 9th of George nr"
for repealing so much of several Acts as imposed the
necessity of receiving the Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper as a qualification for certain offices
and employments :—" I do solemnly and sincerelft
in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare,
upon the truth of a Christian, that I will never WI.-
cise any power, authority, or influence which I tlisf
possess by virtue of the office of to injure or
weaken the Protestant Church as by law established
In England, or to disturb the said Church, or the
bishops and clergy of the said Church, in the posses,'
sion of any rights or privileges to which such Church
or the said bishops and clergy are or may be by WY
entitled."
The friends of Mr. Salomons, in answer to the
argument that the Aldermen have been sanctioned in
their refusal to swear in that gentleman by the judr
ment of the Court of Queen's Bench, state that the
Aldermen are released from the obligation to decide
in any future case upon such an authority, and EV°t
to the form of deeLaration contained in the Ist of y 1
toria, entitled "An Act for the Relief of Quaker:
Moravians, and Separatists elected to Municipal pw
wi z
ces," as that which has been liberally substitu
meet any reasonable emergency. The following isrd
form alluded to:—‘‘ I, being one of the people caße,
Quakers, or one of the persuasion of the people cstitne"
Quakers, or of the united brethren called Moroi*_,
or of the denomination called Separatists (as the celti 5:
may be), having conscientious .scruples against s

in the 9th year of the reign of .K ing George the
Fourth, entitled an Act, &c., &c., do solemnly'

The friends of Mr. Moon reply to this that e only
of Victoria was made to point at the Jews as thee od
persons to be excluded from municipal offices, •Iq.
that Mr. Salomons cannot consistently sign the not;
claration required by that Act, inasmuch as be can
call himself either a Quaker, a Moravian, or a Sera,
anprly
ratist, although he may consider himself very pr rt 3.,
of a distinct and separate religion from the YA
13- lisL 4 Church of this country. It is also believeda
