COURT OF ALDERMEN.
(THIS DAY.)
At half-past one o'clock a Court of Aldermen was
held at Guildhall, for the purpose of swearing in Mr.
Moon as Alderman, and upon other business.
Sir PETER LAURIE rose and said he had great pleasure
in moving a vote of thanks to Sir William Magnay,
Bart., for his dignified conduct in the grand ceremonial
visit of her most gracious Majesty on the opening of the
Royal Exchange.
Sir C. S. HUNTER seconded the motion.
Mr. Alderman LUCAS, Mr. Alderman WILSON, Mr.
Alderman WOOD, and Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER,
congratulated the Lord Mayor on the dignity which had
been conferred on him, and hoped he would live long to
enjoy the honour.
The motion was put, and carried unanimously.
Sir WILLIAM MAGNAY said he sincerely thanked the
Court for this mark of their kindness, and he could
assure them he felt gratified at the high honour which
had been conferred upon him.
Mr. CACHEE, from the Lord Mayor's Court, then read
the return of Mr. Moon, as well as the protests from
Mr. D. Salomons and the inhabitants.
Mr. Moon was then ordered to be called in, when
Mr. WIRE rose and said, on the part of Mr. Salomons,
he protested against the return.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Your protest cannot
be received.
A GENTLEMAN said he also wished to protest.
The RECORDER—It can only be done by memoriaL
Mr. Moon was then ordered to come in, but the Court
was so crowded as to render it impossible for the newly
elected Alderman to enter.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND moved that the Court be
cleared, which was done ; and F. G. Moon was then
sworn in as Alderman of Portsoken ward.

We devote a considerable portion of our space this
morning to a detail of the memorable event of which the
City of London was yesterday the scene. The honours
conferred by her Majesty on the metropolis of her em-
pire, however distinguished, can only be general ; but
her Majesty, with graceful condescension, individualised
it on this occasion by intimating in the most flattering
terms to the gentleman who so worthily fills the office
of Chief Magistrate, that it was the Royal intention to
create him forthwith a Baronet of the United Kingdom.
This mark of distinction is not only a compliment to the
City in the person of its Lord Mayor, but a proof of her
Majesty's sympathy with the general feeling of the
citizens that his Lordship's zealous and able performance
of the duties of the mayoralty are deserving of,every
praise.—Post.
ALLOTMRNTS.—The Duke of Buckingham is in-
creasing allotments of land. He has recently signified
his intention of causing about 15 acres of now very un-
productive land at Kingswood, called " Grub's Wood,"
-to be let out in small portions to working men.—Ayles-
bury News.
ERRATUM.—In tbp Summary of Spanish news
which appeared in The Sun yesterday, for " Heaven
helps only those who themselves," read " Heaven helps
only those who help themselves."
NEW NAMES FOR STREETS.—AS much injury is
liable to be inflicted upon tradesmen by any alteration
of the names of their respective streets, a Correspondent
suggests that wherever such alteration takes place, the
old name of the street should be written up under the
new one.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAms.)
IN THE MATTER OF W. BROMLEY.
The adjourned examination of the bankrupt, a soli-
licitor in Gray's Inn, wkose case excited great interest
on account of the application of certain moneys with
which he had been-entrusted by various parties, was ap-
point..d for this day, and long before the hour of sitting
the Court was crowded with parties (many of. them
females) interested in the proceedings.
Mr. Humphery appeared to oppose the passing of the
bankrupt, and Mr. Sturgeon was retained on his side.
Sir C. F. Williams entered, and on the case being
called on,
Mr. HUMPHREY said that his Honour might remember
that the bankruptcy's case was adjourned inJuly last, and
that a very long period was given, in order that he might
furnish accounts every way satisfactory to his creditors.
That had not been done, and they were then in pre-
cisely the same condition that they stood at the last
examination.
Sir C. WILLIAMS said that under such circumstances
he could not think of going into the case. It was dis-
tinctly understood, and the Learned Gentlemen engaged
for the bankrupt seemed to assent, that the creditors
should have every opportunity of examining and investi-
gating the account.. There were some debts to which
there were more than two claimants, and it was, there-
fore absolutely necessary that the case should be fully
sifted.
Mr. STURGEON had no doubt that the bankrupt now
that he knew what the wishes of his creditors were,
would do everything to satisfy the Court and them if a
short adjournment were given him,
Mr. HumPintEv was quite opposed to any further ad-
journment.
Sir C. WILLIAMS thought the only course was to ad-
journ the matter sine die, allowing the bankrupt to come
up again to the Court, when his accounts were in a satis-
factory state.
The bankrupt explained that he had done all he could
to give an answer to every inquiry, and to explain every
account. If the gentlemen who new raised objections
would kindly inform him, or show him what to do, he
would with thankfulness do it.
The matter was, after a few remarks from Mr. Hum-
phrey, adjourned sine die.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY and a Common
Jury.)
PIERCE AND ANOTHER V. ADAMS.

Mr. Sergeant Jones appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr.
Thomas for the defendant.

Mr. Sergeant JONES said the action was brought by
the plaintiffs, Messrs. Pierce and Coatze, coachmakers in
Long-acre, to recover from the defendant, George
Adams, the sum of 191. 17s. 6d. In the year 1842 the
defendant entered into the possession of a house situated
in West-street, St. Martin's-lane, the property of the
plaintiffs. The payments of the rent were very irre-
gular, and the plaintiffs had distrained some time ago.
The defendant owed them 331. 2s. 6d., but in order to
obviate the expense of bringing their action in one of
the superior courts, they had reduced their claim to the
amount for which the action was brought.
The defendant pleaded that he never owed the money.
Mr. THOMAS produced a deed which had been signed
by the plaintiffs, but it was unstamped, and the plaintiffs
were nonsuited.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A ROBBERY SINGULARLY DISCOVERED.--. William Ed-
wards, living at 43, Charles •street, Drury-lane, was
brought before Mr. TWYFORD, charged with having
stolen property in his possession.
Policeman Bagnell, F 31, stated that he was on duty
in Charles-street, Drury-lane, about one o'clock this
morning, and saw the prisoner, in company with three
others, standing in the street. Heard one of them say to
the prisoner, " Did she halloo?" and then seeing witness
they separated and went different ways. Witness went
up to the prisoner, took hold of his pockets, which
stuck out, and asked him what he had got there. He
answered, "It is grub," and witness then pulled out a
valuable fur tippet and a cigar case. Witness imme-
diately took him to the station-house.
Mr. TWYFORD—WeII, prisoner, what do you say to
having these things in your possession? Prisoner—l
found them in the procession, and held them up and
cried out, " Does any one own this ?" and no one
owned it.

Mr. TWYFORD—I must remand you, to find an owner
for the property, as I have no doubt, violence was used
in obtaining possession of it.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
CURIOUS CASE.—Joseph Whetten, a middle-aged gen-
tlemanly man, who hung down his head, and appeared
very dejected, was brought before Mr. Rawlinson, this
morning, in the custody of Carter, 140 S.
Carter stated that when he was on duty this morning,
about half-past nine o'clock, inffillsted-street, Somers-
town, the prisoner came up to him and said, " I wish to
give myself up into your custody for embezzlement," at
the same time mentioning the name of Mr. Daniel
Powell, of Liverpool, as the person whose money he had
appropriated to his own use. He gave witness a letter
which he (the prisoner) said would explain the particu-
lars of the transaction.

The letter, which appeared to have been written from
Liverpool yesterday, was directed, to " Mr. Joseph
Whetten, the Grapes, Drummond-street, Somers-town."
It related to some transaction which was not fully ex-
plained, but evidently from the tenor of it, related to the
very serious charge on which the prisoner had given
himself up to the police.
Mr. RAwuNsoN (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to
say anything in addition to what you have stated to the
constable? The prisoner—No, your worship.
Mr. RAWLINSON said he supposed he must be sent to
Liverpool. However, he should remand him until Mon-
day, and would apprise him if he received a letter before
that time, authorising him (Mr. Rawlinson) to send him
there.

The prisoner was then conveyed to one of the cells
and locked up.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY).
Frederick Webb was charged with violently assaulting
police-constable 25 G.
It appeared from the evidence that the constable
attempted to separate two females who were fighting in
the Bagnigge-wells-road on the previous night, when
the prisoner rushed upon them. A mob gathered,
several of whom pelted the constable. The prisoner
rushed upon him and struck him violently on the face,
chest, and side, and kicked him in the abdomen. The
police at the station hearing the cries of the mob, came
to his assistance, and the prisoner was secured.
He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment, without
the power of releasing himself by the payment of a fine.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas and Michael Mahoney were charged with as-
saulting two policemen of the N division, one of whom
has been so severely injured that he was unable to
attend.

It appeared that the policemen were on duty in the
Grange-road, Bermondsey, the preceding night, about
twelve o'clock, and had just met when the defendants
came out of a:house. One of the defendants had a stick,
and without saying a word, struck one of the policemen
with such violence on the head, as to knock him down,
and render him insensible. The other policeman, in his
attempt to take the assailant, was also struck, and
knocked down. The policeman who was struck on the
head was so badly wounded that he was unable to at-
tend, until which time the prisoners, who said they got
tipsy to commemorate the Queen's visit to the City,
were remanded.

COLONIAL
S EIGA R.—The market for British Plantation is without
alteration, about 400 hhds having been sold at previous
rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 720
bags Bengal, 567 bags Madras, and 98 bags Mauritius.
The Bengal and Mauritius chiefly found buyers at fully
previous prices, but being in small lots, and of infe-
rior quality, they afford no guide to the market
generally ; the Madras sold comparatively very cheap,
viz. :—at 42s Gd to 45s Gd for low and mid grainy
brown. The quantity of British Plantation bonded last
week at the East and West India Docks was 484 hhds
37 tierces 327 barrels, and there were taken for home
consumption 1,394 hhds 142 tierces 356 barrels. The
stock in the same places is 14,905 hhds 2,145 tierces
3,082 barrels.
COFFEE —350 bags Ceylon at auction was all taken
in (excepting a few lots) at 51s to 51s 6d for good ord
quality, being previous prices, but at which there were
not purchasers.
IltrM.—The quantity landed last week at the East
and West India Docks was 336 puns 15 hhds; there were
taken for home consumption 177 puns 20 hhds; and ex
ported 207 puns 49 hhds. The stock in tke same place
is 12,830 puns 1,478 hhds.
EicE.-5,848 bags and 1,106 pockets East India were
all' disposed of at Ils to 123 for good mid white Bengal,
and 8s to lOs 6d for low yellow (cargo) to mid white,
but very mixed Madras, being for the latter descriptions
about former rates, but the Bengal must be quoted
rather lower.
SALTPETRE.-976 bags Bengal found buyers at 343 to
'26s for 14 to 7 4 per cent refraction, which are fully pre-
vious rates.
SPICES.-100 bags Pimento were taken in at 'lid for
good quality.
TEA.—The market is steady.
TALLow.—P.Y.C. is 41s to 415.3 d per cwt on the spot.

The Presse states that a curious phenomenon oc-
cupies at present the attention of the Parisian savans.
There is living in the Rue d'Enfer a young operative
who can only see by the
light of the sun. After sunset
he can distinguish no obj ect, even if it be lighted by the
most powerfully concentrated artificial light. This in-
firmity, baptized by the name of Nyctalopie, appears to
irremediable.

Foreign-office, Oct. 26, 1844.
Sir,—l am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen t°
transmit to you for the information of the Chairman
and Committee at Lloyd's, a copy of a dispatch from the
British Pro-Consul at Santiago de Cuba, reporting wf
wreck of the brig Celia Large, of Cork, on the east res
of the island of Mariguana, on the 7th of August last*
I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
To Wia. Dobson, Esq. CANNING.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 14, 1844.
My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your 1-0:.
ship, that on the 21st of last month, the master, trek:
and two passengers, of the brig Celia Large, of Coro
were placed under my charge by his Excellency Gen der
Don Cayetano de Mebina, Governor of this city, utt;
the following circumstances :—The brig Celia Lareg
of Cork, owned by several merchants of that city, bunt
under the management of Mr. Seward Large, sailed fro
Kingston, Jamaica, on the Ist of August, with a carVl
consisting principally of coffee, for Cork. On the nig:,
of the 9th of the same month the vessel struck on t."
east reef of the Island of Mariguana, and almost tiv
stantly filled with water. The master, Henry E. J° Übe
six men, and two passengers, immediately went into the
long boat with some provisions, and remained by,..,it
vessel until next morning, when finding the sea nna"'!'"3
a complete breach over her, they set sail before the vied
with an old blanket, until the 13th, when they discover;
the Island of/Cuba, and entered into the Bay of 14i5.1,0
where they were most hospitably received by one of
is
natives, and from thence were conducted on horse
to the city of Holguin. They were also well reeei;i.ed
there by the Lieut.-Governor of that city, who suPP'l to
them with money for their expenses, and sent thelno,o
this place, escorted by a lieutenant of the army and t
soldiers. I took charge of the nine men, and distributed
them between several of the British vessels in this Pr;
bound for Swansea, with the exception of the CO
coloured man, belonging to Jamaica, whom I sent thit,hto
in her Catholic Majesty's schooner Ysabel 11., bound
