COURT OF ALDERMEN.

lIRR MAJESTY.
Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of con-
Sidering an address to her Majesty on the birth of a
Piince. Although the season of the year was parti-
cularly unfi.iyourable to the assembling of the mem-
bers of the Corporation, the . Lord Mayor had not
6e't in the chair four minutes when it was an-
neUneed that a Court was made.
Strangers having been ordered to withdraw, Alder-
taaa EleowN moved, we were given to understand,
after a few words expre-sive of the hitt gratification
the Court telt at the happy event whien more fully
secured the hope of a long succession to the present
Royal Family, that a humble and dutiful address be
presented to her Majesty on the subject —(Cheers.)
Sir PETER Littem seconded the motion, a ilia
was carri. d amidst acclamations. An address was
t,,,hen drawn up and unanimously agreed to. The
Wirt :was then opened.
A SERIOUS NUISANCE.
The inquest jury of Aldersgate-ward made a
formal presentment of a whalebone manufactory kept
at No. 69; Aldersgate, by a Mr. Westall. The pre-
• sentment described the nuisance as altogether odious
%rid intolerable-. •
Mr: GonsoN- (the Deputy of the ward) addressed
the Court upon the subject. He believed the laxity
i„,Whlch,had marked the conduct of the authorities in
--"ru. to Puddle-dock, and other dreadfully offensive
sinks of the City, was occasioning, a total disregard,
is it would appear, of the health and comfort of the
inhabitants .of the City elsewhere. He was so unfor-
%nate
as to live next door to 'the whalebone manu-
factory which excited so much disgust, and the neigh-
bours • actually thought that he fancied and he
fal•ftred the offence, as he was not for ever crying
Out against
.it.—(A laugh.) He had witnessed
the' meat markets- =in their worst ' condition, but the
stench of the worst of them, at the worst of seasons,
(tas nothing compared with the stench arising from
"working of the whalebone. To the vaults of a
trowded‘churchyard alone could he compare it, and.
he assured the Court that in that description there
Was no exaggeration. He referred, if any proof be-
Yend that afforded by passers-by appeared ro be ne-
""aiY, to the fact, that the house adjoining the ma-
refectory, although spacious and commodious, was
Leinlity, Atilt to defy any man to introduce his family
10 the vicin't3 of han abomination. It happened
that this business was extremely lucrative, the last
• resident having retired, after having, in a few years,
realised 100,0001. by stinking the ward, so that un-
less the Court would use its powerful authority to
cause the removal or abatement of the nuisance, there
Would it remain, a perpetual source of annoyance.
The REcoenxii intimated that the' best course
