It is a distinguishing principle of this Company, that the As-
sured are entitled at their own pleasure to go to any part of the
World, on terms fixed at the commencement, and are not oldiged
on any sudden emergency either to forfeit their Policies, on which
many premiums may have been paid, or to be dependant on the
will of a Board of Directors to refute permission altogether, or
to exact an immoderate price for granting it.
Fall particulars may be obtained by personal application, or
by letter addressed to the Resident Director, at the Company's

UROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE and AN-
NUITY OFFICE, 10, Chatham-place, Blackfriars,
London.—This CoMpany is formed on principles combining
every degree of security with advantages superior to any pre-
viously offered to the Public. It consists of a number of Pro-
prietors, who are required to assure on their own lives or o❑
those of approved nominees, sums proportionate to their respec •
Live shares, on every transfer of which a new assurance is re-
quired to be effected. This system, by the perpetual renovation
of policies, secures the stability and growing prosperity of the
Company, and is productive of great benefit to the assured, who
participate in the profits arising from the regulation, without be-
ing responsible for the engagements of the Company, which are
secured by a large subscribed capital.
In the year 1819, when the European Company was formed,
the Directors caused rates of insurance to be calculated from the
amalgamated life tables of all Europe, which produced results
lower than the rates of any Company then established, and which
will be still found lower than any of .the tables of Companies more
recently formed, which adOt the insured to a participation in the
profits : and this difference is so considerable as to be in the na-
ture of as annual bonus to the assured.
'The affairs of the Company are managed by a Board of Twelve
Directors, which sits every Wednesday throughout the year, at
the Company's Office, No. 10, Chatham-place, Blackfriars.
Prospectuses may be had at the Office, or of any of the Pro-
prietors.

VINTRY WARD.

ELECTION OF AN ALDERIVIAN.--(Tninn DAs.)

At ten o'clock yesterday morning the Loan Mairoa took hie
seat at the Wardmote at Cutlers' Hall. It being understood that
there were Ind few voters that had not poled, his Lordship inti-
mated that he would, if both the candidates consented in writing,
adjourn for a few hours. Neither of the Counsel for the candi-
dates assenting, the poll proceeded, and, up to two o'clock, only
two votes were polled, both of which were for Mr. Wilde.
Some were brought up to poll after that hour, who were what are
called " King's freemen."
The LORD MAYOR, on one of them appearing and tendering
his vote, informed him, that if he voted, and was not a freeman
of a company, and a houSeholder of the ward, he would be liable
to be indicted for perjury.
The " King's freeman" then threw down the book indignantly,
and said, "I won't do it." •
Several ether persons came up, some of whom polled, and,
among them, the beadle of the Vintners' Company, who polled
for Mr. Sheriff Winchester.
The Hall became crowded to exeess a short time before the
close of the poll, and the several electors, as they came up and
retired, received the applause and hisses of the assemblage.
At font o'clock, the Loan MAYOR declared the poll closed.
There was a considerable discussion between the Learned
Counsel, as to the law on the point that the book should be sealed
np, and a future time fixed for the Lord Mayor to declare the state
of the poll.
The Loan MAYOR said, he was ready to seal the poll-book up,
if required by either of the candidates ; but it was for him to say
how soon after he would open it.—(Laub

Mr. F. POLLOCK wished to hand to his Lordship, before the
numbers were declared, the following paper :
Vintry Ward, Thursday, Jan. 4.
We, the undersigned, being two of the ward entitled to vote,
and having voted at the election of an Alderman for this ward,
do hereby object to the eligibility, of Henry.Wincliester, Esq., to
the said office of Alderman, for that, among other reasons, he is
one of the Sheriffs of London.
(Signed)

THOMAS MARSDIN.
HENRY Er.mrs.
The LORD MAYOR declared the numbers to be as follows :
For Edward Archer Wilde, Esq.
Mr. Sheriff Winchester

(The applause, clapping of hands, and hissing at this declara-
tion, was such as to pass all description.) A demand of a scru-
tiny was then made on behalf of Mr. Wilde, and the same on
behalf of Mr. Sheriff Winchester, which occupied a great length
of time, and the meeting indulged thetnaalres with passing off their
jokes.

Mr. Sheriff WINCHESTER, addressed die Meeting. He re-
turned his best thanks to them for the kind manner in which they
had that day confirmed his late election. His opponents had de-
manded a scrutiny, which, if it went (sr.". had no doubt would
leave him is the same situation that he was at the former election.
—(Tumult.)—Noise, be said, was no argument. He wished to
speak to his friends, and that very briefly, and to thank them. On
the scrutiny, he had no doubt but that he should succeed.—(A
voice, " No, you won't.") He felt highly gratified.—(Another
voice—" Poor fellow !")—He would say no snore, but thank them.
—(Applause and hisses.)
Mr. WILDE.-(Cries of Winchester for ever.)—He was anx-
ious to avoid a sacrifice of time, hut he could not avoid express-
ing how gratified he felt that good humour had been restored.—
lie was exceedingly indebted to his friends for the efforts they had
that day made to bring up the electors, which had only been dons
in the confident hope that a scrutiny wculd have been avoided ;
that had been their only wish for adding one more to the poll of
the first day, which he considered decided the election, and had no
doubt but his anticipations would be realised.--(Cheers.)—The
magic number of three had been talked of, bat he should never
forget number four ; when the oath was tendered to four of the
most respectable gentlemen of the ward, they would not strain
their consciences on any. account to serve him. He meant not to
cast the least disrespect on those who had done otherwise ; no
doubt they had taken a different view of the nature of that oath,
which view he thought was wrong both in law and in fact. They
had not thought proper to cloths themselves with that which
would have given them a right to vote. They were rated as ware-
housemen ; had they been rated its householders, they would have
had to pay the window-tax and the parish taxes—they also avoid-'
ed the ward offices. After pointing out to the meeting the nature
of the efforts that had been made on the other side, and the ex-
tremity to which tkey had been driven, he concluded by thanking
tke Lord Mayor and the meeting for the hearing they had given
him.—(Cheers.)
The numbers for the candidates being equal, a casting vote was
neeessarv, when a man, who had voted for Mr. Wilde about an
hour before, presented himself again to vote for that gentleman,
under the escort of his Committee, but being recognised by the
friends of the Sheriff, he was ousted from the Hall, and treated
with little ceremony by those who reprobated such an unjust at-
tempt to gain an advantage over the Sheriff.
A meeting was appointed to be held next week for the purpose
of fixing a day for the commencement of the scrutiny,
