ALDERMEN OF CANTERBURY.

FURTHER PARTICULARS..-011 Tuesday, being
the day of election for the Chiet Magistrate of
Canterbury, the Mayor and Corporation attended
divine service at St. Andrew's church ; after
which they adjourned to the Council Chamber,
to select two Aldermen for the choice of the Free-
men. It had been customary to continue to nut
the losing Alderman of the former year in nomi-
nation, until he obtained the civic chair ; iu con-
sequence, Mr. Alderman Warren, the WISUCCt'S9-
lot candidate last year, was confidently expected
to be put in nomination, and, with his friends,
had for some time been engaged canvassing the
Freemen, with the best assurance of success ;
hut, contrary to general expectation, on the
Court declaring the Candidates, Alderman Gooper
was submitted for Mr. Alderman Warren. The
instant this noinin4tion was announced, the hurst
of disapprobation was of the most deafening de-
scription; the clamour and confusion was uni-
versal, the Reds and Blues united to express, in
loud ,cross, their disgust at the measures adored
(as they said) to destiny their privileges; Ate
uproar at last exceeded all bounds of pro-
priety ; several persons, composed of both
parties, sueceeded in getting over tt,ac part
of the hustings ocenpied by the Sheriff, w',ous
they assailed, and compelled him.
friends, to leave the Hall. This eas he si,inal
for a general riot—the Sheriff's poll4rook was
instantly seized and destroyed, the eireen cloth
torn from the table, the cushi,ns fronin- hust-
ings were thrown at the chandelier, in 'Trder to
put out the lights, which was no sooner tits )e. than
they proceeded to break the windows of the Hall,
and throwing every article that came to hand in va-
rious directions ; and the Sword and Mace were
with difficulty saved. After remaining in darkness a
considerable time, several left the Hall, when the
constables shut the doors, in order to secure the
few remaining inside, which so enraged the mul-
titude, that they demanded their privilege, is
freemen, to enter the Hall, which not being at-
tended to, they, with a hatchet forced open the
doors, and again took possession, The effi4y of
Alderman Cooper was burnt in front of his house.
TheMsgistrates assembled with great promptitude,
and swore in a number of special constables, and
happily succeeded in restoring order and tranquil-
lity; when the poll re-commenced; and at ationt
half-past 11 the numbers were 'declared, for Mr.
Alderman Geo. Frew!, 245—for Alderman Cooper,
12; consequently Mr. Freud was declared duly
elected. A very considerable number of Freemen
presented themselves at the poll-table, gave in
their names, and tendered their votes for Mr. Al-
derman Warren, which were of course rejected,
as that gentleman was not in nomination. Be-
tween 20 and 30 of the Freemen were taken into
custody, and had up for examination on Wednes-
day morning, when, some were discharged, and
others bound over to appear ar,the City Sessions.
