Mr. Law (for the Licensed Yi.ctuallers.)---The doe,
say that the usual things required by the existing s'.•zt.ito
shall be observed. The same sort of testimonials rriusl be
produced.
Alderman Woos.--Notice must he sent also of the in-
tention to apply to the Alderman of the ward. Be sure to
take care of that Mr. Hobler. The maser is one which
must not be jumped over as a man would jump over a turn-
pike-bill. Immense property is involved.
Mr. Holder, jun.—The Act says not a word abeut euc r•
notice.

Alderman Woon.—We regnire it, however. We eon.
eiderit indiepeneable.

Alderman TfloatrsoN.—.-I say the Alderman of the
Ward for any house in which a license may be required,
ought, and must receive notice. I am aware that the Act
does not literally require that such notice sleould be sent ;
but every one most me the propriety of taking such pre-
caution. I believe my brother Aldermen feel that this is
due to them.

The Lord Mayor and the other Aldermen, with the ex-
ception of Sir C. Smith, assented to this proposition.
Mr. Law.—The applioant for a license under this Act is
required to do and perform all that is required of a person
who applies for a license for a common alehouse. Let us
not, for God's rake, argue the point now.
Alderman Woon.—No, no. We shall bear it on the
appointed day. Special notice must be sent to the Alder-
man of the Ward.

Mr, Tilton gave notice that he should apply for a license
for the proprietor of the Portugal Hotel, in Fleet-street,
which had been for some time an hotel to all intents and
purposes. Thu Alderman of the Ward (Waithmau) had
recommended that a license should be granted ; and, in
fait, there existed no objection whatever to the application.
A Licensed Victualler said, he believed there was an ob-
jection upon the part of the Common Council, in the ap-
prehension that others in the neighbourhood would be
injured.
The Loin MATei.—" Let it be taken the same day
the rest will be considered."

Mr. Tilson.—" We have not the slightest objection.
The hotel has numerous country customers who lodge in the
house." -

Mr. Law.—" Me must take great care, as this is to be
the first construction of the Act, not to run into any errone-
ous precedent'. If we give the absurd latitude to the Act
which some do, every sort of house may sell wine and gin
al they please."
The two cases of course stand over.

The Lord Bishop of CHESTER was to have
held a confirmation to-day at Liverpool, but or Saturday
notice of postponement was issued in consequence of the
Bishop having been suddenly summoned to London.
THE PARK AND THE GARDENS.--Aftet
the long duration of wet weather, we had yesterday th.i:
enjoyment of a fine day, and it produced a very gay assem-
blage in Hyde Park. The Wellington Walk and the drive
to Cumberland Gate were tiae favourites till five o'clock.
Half an hour after, there were many fashiouables in Ken-
sington Gardens. In the cavalcade were the equipages of—.

SIR HUGH O'DONEL.—WC are authorised
to state, that the paragraphs which have appeared in this
and other Journals, attributing to Sir Huai O'Dorirt, an
attempt on his own life, were founded altogether on mis-
information. It is true the young Baronet has been
wounded, but his wound is the consequence of one of those
accidents which occur every day from handling fire-arms
without sufficient caution, and had nothing to do with
suicide, which he never contemplated. It gives us sincere
pleasure to add, that a letter, received in town yesterday,
from Sir SAMUEL (MALLET, describes Sir Huose as con-
siderably better, and holds out strong hopes of his ultimate
and complete recovery from the;e:eaffn.deci,
accident.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

His Majesty's ship Bramble has just arrived
from Oporto, and brings letters stating that three English
merchant ships had been seised by the Portuguese authorities
at Oporto, on the pretence of their
being engaged to convey
to England the property of the leaders of the late Consti••
tutional forces. Two of the vessels seized are the Friend,
and the Vintage ; we have not heard the name of the
third. The cargoes with which they were about to nil
were unloading, and the vessels will probably be condemned,
unless the English Government interfere with effect.

Our Assizes commence on Thursday next,
and we are happy to say that there is not one prisoner for
trial in the town. The county has eight ; but, except one
or two, there is no case of particular importance. Such
an event as a maiden assize has not been known in the
town for thirty years, that is, since the Lent Assizes bald
