CITY BUSINESS.—A Court of Aldermen was
held yesterday at Guildhall, for the general
dispatch of public business.--The Inquest
of the Ward of Bishopsgate attended, and
made a presentment of sundry persons car-
rying on trade without being free of the city.
—The inquest of Castle Baynard Ward also
made a presentment of a nuisance, which was
referred to the Alderman of the Ward, to give
such directions as he should think fit.—A petition
was presented from sundry freemen, complaining
of the violation of their privileges,. by non-free-
men being employed.—A petition from the coal-
whippers in the port of London, in respect of va-
rious grievances, was presented, and the parties
were heard.—The Court then proceeded to con-
sider the petition of the ship-owners of Newcastle
and Sunderland for a reduction of the wages of
the coal-whippers, when all parties were heard,
and the further consideration thereof adjou rued.—
The usual precepts for Lord Mayor's Day next,
and the usual orders for the procession on that
day, were ordered to be issued.—Several bills
were ordered for payment.
INSULTS TO THE MILITARY.—Monday after-
noon, the Tower Hamlets Militia were exercised
in a field opposite the Episcopal Chapel, Cam-
bridge-heath. During their evolutions, sentinels
were stationed to keep the ground clear ; in doing
which, the soldiers were frequently, insulte'd by
the observations of a set of ruffians and bullock-
hunters, who had assembled apparently for the
purpose. At length one of the fellows assaulted
a soldier by throwing tufts of grass at him, and
using gross language, in which he was encouraged
by his associates. The soldier evinced great for-
bearance, until he found himself thus unwar-
rantably attacked, whc:n he dashed into the crowd
and seized the aggressor ; he then forced him
within the line of sentinels, when a struggle en-
sued and both went down, the mob still encou-
raging their companion. The fellow extricated
himself, and again mixed in the crowd ; just at
the lime the Officers perceived the insult, and
came to the soldier's assistance. Captain CLARK
immediately searched for the fellow among the
crowd, but was unsuccessful in discovering him;
however, a person that witnessed the insult, gave
the Captain his address, who promised to have
the fellow before the Magistrates at Worship-
street, if he could secure him.

A pig, belonging to a person near Launceston, was lately
missed, and, after a diligent search made for it, the 'owner sup-
posed it had been stolen. At the expiration of nine days the
animal was found lying on. its back in the puddle at the bottom
of a deep ditch into which it appears it bad fallen, and from
which it was unable to extricate itself. When found, it was
covered with swarms of files, and appeared to be exhausted by
hunger and the torture inflicted by the myriads of insects that
covered it ; however, in half an hour after it was extricated, it
took food, was able to walk home, and is likely to recover.—

Tuesday. week, a Custom-house officer in
Dundee thrust his hand into a box which hesup-
posed contained some smuggled goods ; but to
his great dismay the box contained a hawk, which
seized him by the finger till the blood sprang.
DEATH V. DEATH.—An extraordinary fatality
has lately attended a family residing in the
neighbourhood of London, of the name of Death.
Mrs. DEATH died at the commencement of the
present year, and, in a -few months after, Mr.
DEATH followed. In the course of eighteen
months, seven Deaths have taken place in the
same house
