Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock pie7iaely, the'
Right lion. the LOUD MAYOR tonk his seat at Cutlers'
Hall, for the purpase of entering upon the scrutiny, to
determine on whom the election had fallen to become
Alderman of the above %Vaud.

The pat tisans of Mr. She. iff Winche,ter, and dose of
Mr. Wilde, exerted themselves to the utmost, to gain
their won'ed triumph. For •Mr. Sheriff Winch••ster
Mr. Wakefield, of the Chancery Bar, and the lion. E.
Law, were Counsel. For Mr. Wilde, Dr. Lus'iington
and Mr. Broderick. Seam al case; of local interest (le-
ctured, hut the chief questi ins to be decided were. whe-
ther warehouse keepers had a tight to vote? and in many
cases svf ether an OC casinnal residecce hi as stazient ?
These points were turd in hese' al cases,anJ the result
we undetstand to he, that warehouse k cpers were not
inhabitant householders, within the meaning of the Act
of Patliament, nor con•isrnt with the Act of Common
Council, upon which that Act was framed.

In respect to the Litter pain,, the case of Mr. Dawes
was relied upon. He resided in Skinner-street, but
tented a house in St. Thomas Apostle, within the Ward,
but it sea. roved iq eviJence that he had Hot slvt in
t e house until after the commencement of the election,
and that the roam he claimed in right of to ezetcise
hi, franchise was common to the tshule of the inmates.

The arguments of the Learned Counsel were heard on both sides this and the tither cases, and remain to abide his Lordship's de-
cision at the clu.e of the scrutiny. Both the Candidates app-ared
to he confident in the result. At the commencement Mr. Sheriff

Winchester declined eachanging a list of the disputedvi7tes with
his opponent previous to their entering upon the scrutiny.

Advices from Munich state that ain Lucas Alamar
of has been elected Honorary Member of the
Royal Academy of Sciences in that city. The King of
Bavaria, though not in the habit of interfering in these
elections, has on this occ tsion particularly intere.ted him-
self for M. Alaman.

The rustic Lodge, tor the Gatekeeper, at the northeast
entrance to his M ,jesty's Cottage in Windsor Park, was
yesterday destro)ed by fire between the hours of one
and two o'clock. It is only within these few weeks past,
that fireplaces have been added to these Tittle boxes,
which are stationed at the different gates. They are
composed of the boles of fir trees fixed together after
the Swiss fashion, and the chimney being placed at the
back, and terminating with the roof, is supposed to have
communicated the fire to it.

A respectable looking man was yesterday taken to
Lambeth-street Office, on a charge of shoplifting ; in his
pocket ovis found a tavern bill, with an item of twelve
