ATKINSON'S AMBROSIAL SOAP.
THE baneful effects of Common Soaps are ge-
nerally known; to notice a familiar instance, look at
the bands of a woman who has been washing ; their use in-
variably causes smarting, redness, and ultimately wrinkles;
to remove these evils has been the object of the Proprietor
of the AMBROSIAL SOAP, which is prepared by a new
Process, free from all irritating qualities, and composed of
balsamic vegetable ingredients; it removes redness, hard-
ness, and freckles from the skin, prevents it chapping, and
makes it luxuriously soft, white, and even. Price Is. 'the
square; and, prepared with Naples' Soap, for shaving, price
and Is. 6d. each.

The following Articles are presumed to be too generally
known to require enlugium :
ATKINSON'S VEGETABLE DYE,
Changes grey or red hair on the head or whiskers to a per-
man6nt brown or black. Price 55., 10s. 6d., and 11. is.
ATKINSON'S CURLING FLUID,
Restores the hair where it has fallen off from illness, perspi-
ration, 6r any of those causes occasioning premature decay ;
it also keeps the Hair in curl during exercise in dancing or
walking, or in damp weather,—see rations instances of its
success in an Essay on the Hair, enclosed round each bottle.
Price 3s, 6d. a bottle.

CAUTION.— To avoid Counterfeits, ask for Atkinson's
Fluid, &c. as there are several servile imitations.

WALBROOK WARD.

Yesterday a Meet hig 'iif the Inhabitants of tbio
‘Vord was held at Salters' Hall, pursuant to the
following notice
Walbrook Ward.—A regnikition haring been this day
presented to me, to call a meeting of the inhabitants of this
Ward, ' to consider of a Petition ores, rated
.to the Court of
Aldermen by Benjamin Gibbons had Samuel Smith ;' iu cotn-
pßance with such request, I hereby call a meeting, to be
held at Saltersg•Hall on Monday next, the lath Instant, at
twelve o'clock precisely.

JOHN ATKINS, Alderman.
Mansion House, 15th Jan. 1819."

As the circumstances out of which, this meeting
originated are likely- to becothe the subjeet,of
some warm debates in our Municipal Councils,
the following short account of them may not be
uninteresting our readers in the City.
At the Wardmote held o'n'' the 21st December,
for the election. of eight persons to sett?, in the
Common Council for the then ensuing year, 4r.
B. Gibbons, in inhabitant of the ward, pi opo='2cl
Mr. E. G.*Shottleworth es a fit* and prom r
son to serve. This being duly seconded, the Lord
illaynrovhq prfFickd as A;derman of the ward,ask-
ed 'tether Mc.:Slan flew oeth e.'aspreeen: He %vat-
answered in the negative ; on whiCh said, he
slicrul:i know whether he ~'as to sere- be-
fore he consented to put him in nomination. Mr.
Shuttleworth soon after.catne and leas a:..;sed
by his Lordship whether he wished to serve. To
this SbuttleWorth replied, that be had alrea-
dy stated to.his.friends his intention of not corn-
ing forward;_upon which his Lordship said, he
could nor hint in nomination. Mr. Gibbons
contended, that it, was his Lordship's "diity, as re-
turning officer,- to put any fit man in nomination
.evho was duly proposed and _seconded ; ..and that
it did not depend upon the individual proposed,
whether he should be elected or not ; for That, if
elected; he would be bound to•serve.. . The• Lord
Mayor, however, was of a different.ppinion, and
gave his decision accordingly. He declared the.
ht (present members duly elected, and
refused a pull in favour of Mr. Shottleworth,
which Mr—Gibbons rcpeatedly called for. In
consequence of this, Mr. Gibbons and Mr. S.
Smith, the proposer and seconder of Mr. Shuttle-
worth, presented a petition to the Court of Alder-
men, in which -they submitted, that the whole
'proceedings on. that occasion were .rendered void
by the conduct of the returning Ufficel ; and they
therefore prayed that the election might be set,
aside, and processes isFaed for- a new one. They
further prayed that they migi:t be, allowed to be
beard by tii6r witnesses, counsel, in support
of die petition.; it the bar of the Court •

.The meeting liehlyestef,toy was the recrisi.
tion of several, inbahitati;i of ne
chit* ti;at the conduct of the Aidermito wHs cor-
-rect, and therefore thattiis return shotL!d be hid

..;;;c)44d;

' a little aftett 1 c'elf)rk,. ;Ye LORD ;NlAlto3
COOL, he (..!air, and bti• tiy sated to the :bleo'ng
the object for which the'y had heen calkd to.
gether. The requisition beiog ;lieu readot Gen-
tleman (Mr. Winter, we believe) handed its a
copy of the Petition which had been presented to
the Court of Aldermen.
Mr. GaisoNs objected to..its being read. He
. .

slid it was a document, procured he cotati not tell
how, but certainly iot regulatli' before :he meet.

ing, and of which, at Ow resew moment, they
could not with pri4riety take any notice. The
petition was to be taken into coosideration and
becided upon by the Court of and he
conceived it would he highly irregular in any
meeting, witba member of that Court at icy head,
to prejudge a question. which was not submitted
' to them,
.and.upon which, in point of fact, they.
had no authority to deOide. He would be bOund
by the decision of the Alderman upon this sub-
ject ; but be felt it his duty to-make the objet.
Lion, and he trusted his Worship and the meet.
ing would coincide in its propriety.
Alderman ATKINS said, that be was of the same
opinion upon this subject with the Gentleinan
who had Just spoken. He conceived it would not
be delicate or proper. in the. meeting to anticipate
by any proceeding the discussion of a question
upon which the Court Of Aldermen were soon to
decide. As he was the returning officer against
whose, conduct the complaint was made, he felt
the delicacy of the situation in which be was
placed, and he could assure the meeting be at-
tended on the present occasion much against his
own wish. With respect to the petition not be-
ing before the Public, be should observe, that it'
had been presented in open Court, and was men.
rioned in the newspapers. -
Mr. GIBBONS was again about to address the
Meeting, when a Gentleman observed, that as his
Worship the Alderman had decided that the Pe.
tition ought not to be read, there was. no other
business before them.. ,Hetherefore moved, that
they should then adjoarn. This was seconchd,
and, after • a 'short conversation between some of
the Members, was carried.--(Times )

DRoWNIN'G.— Ycsteiday an' Inquisition was
taken at the Barley Mow, in Mount-street, be-
fore the Coroner for Westminster, on the bUdy
of a man, name unknown, round drowned in the
bason in Hyde Park, opposite Grosvenor.gate.-..

It appeared in evidence, that as two Gentlemen
were walking ne►+r the pond on .Tuesday evening,
they saw the poor man leap into the water, and
exclaim, " Here goes." SThey gave inforMation
to the Bark-keeper, and .the -pond. was dragged
that night and next morning, but thebody could
nor be found. On Wednesday night the same
Gentlemen were coming by again, and pointed
out the spot where they saw the man leap in, and
the body was then found upon the identical spot.
He bad only one shilling, a halfpenny, and one
farthing about him. He was dressed in a blue
coat and waistoat, and velveteen sinall-clotbee.—•
Verdict—" Found drowned."
