AT a very numerous MEETING of GENTLE-
MEN, who have formed themselves into a COMMITTEE
in SUPPORT of ALDERMAN WOOD, held at the Swan-with-
Two-Necks, Lad.lane, on Wednesday, 18th September, 1844,
WILLIAM COATES, Esq., in the Chair,

The Chairman informed the meeting that some time since a state-
ment in writing had been furnished to him by Alderman Wood,
explaining fully his connexion with the Talacre Mining Company,
which statement he had carefulfy perused, and then submitted it
in manuscript to the several Gentlemen of the Sub-Committee for
scrutiny and remarks, and they had come to the unanimous con-
clusion that it was a full, complete, and satisfactory answer to the
illiberal and unfounded charges made against the Alderman.

Mr. Alderman Wool) entered into a full statement of his con.
nexions with the Talacre Company.
A letter was read from the Rev. Mr. Perry, a clergyman and
magistrate residing at Llanassa, stating that coals were abundantly
met with at the Talacre coal and mining properties, and that the
new Company were realising a handsome return from the efforts of
their labours.

It was moved by Mr. Under. Sheriff ANDERTON, and seconded by

Mr. E. HARRISON, and carried unanimously :

" That it is the opinion of this meeting the charges made
against Mr. Alderman Wood with reference to his connexion with
the Talacre Coal and Iron Company, are groundless and un-
founded ; and that such charges have been most fully and satis.
factorily refuted in the statement submitted tc this meeting."
It was moved by Mr. Deputy MunDLE, and seconded by Mr. HOLT,
and carried unanimously:—

"That the above statement be printed for distribution, and that
the Livery be earnestly invited to attend at Guildhall, on Satur_
day, the 28th September instant, at twelve o'clock, to support the
nomination of Mr. Alderman Wood, in due rotation, to fill the
office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year."
It was moved by Mr. CURTIS, and seconded by Mr. MOWBRAT, and

carried unanimously :

"That the gentlemen present, with such others as may hereafter
join them, be a Committee to conduct the nomination and election
by poll (if demanded) of Mr. Alderman Wood for Lord Mayor."
It was moved by H. S. S➢fITH, and seconded by Mr. JOYCE, and

carried unanimously:—

" That these resolutions be published in the usual Morning and
vening Papers, under the discretion of the Committee."
Mr. Alderman WOOD proposed a vote of thanks to the Chair-
man, which was carried unanimously.

LAS!' WEEK BUT TWO.
EXTRAORDINARY AND NOVEL ATTRACTIONS.

throughout the Season, the Gardens will open with the following
attractive Novelties :
THE PICTURESQUE GROUNDS—FEEDING OF THE
ANIMALS—UNRIVALLED MENAGERIE.
MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME
Painted by Dawson and Telbin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled production Is beyond all
former ,iecedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of deim.
Lion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa..
eious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
Beethoven's celebrated Battle Sinfonia, descriptive of an En-
gagement between the French and English Armies.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues..
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays connucted Dy Mr. Godfrey,
are upon a scale of more than usual excellence; lint words fail In
doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT FIRE O} LONDON.
Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifidly blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, mat delight is predominant over terror; and the 'thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that ::outliby, :the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, And combining so many and interesting features, are by far
the most attraf:tive lounge in or near the metropolis.
Doors open at Nine—Feeding of the Animals at Half-past Four—
Concert at Half-past Five.—Conflagration at Dusk. Admittance,
One Shilling.

RENEWAL OF THE SURREY TOLLS.— The public
have been greatly astonished at the renewal of the
Surrey tolls, notwithstanding the recent destruction of
the gates and bars, and the general supposition that the
tolls were abolished by Act of Parliament. In the
Borough-road, a small wooden toll-house has been
erected, and the old gates have been restored. On the
toll-house there is printed an announcement that, on
Sundays, such charges (mentioning the amounts) will
in future be made for horses and carriages, which, it
appears, are claimable by the Borough, under a local
Act. Tolls are also still charged at the gate leading
from London-bridge to the Elephant and Castle, which
belongs to the Surrey new road, as the Act under which
such tolls are enforced does not expire for two years from
this date. The tolls abolished belonged to the Surrey
new trust.
