COURT O ALDItRME

Yesterday being Plow Monday,the Lotus MAvon
summoned a Court of Aldermen, according to ancient
custom, to receive the presentments of the Inquests.
of the several Wards of the City, when rather a novel
circumstance took place. On the Inquest of Wat-
brook Ward, over which the LOND MAyolt presides,
being called in, Mr. AldermanW.trrunistepresented
a•Petition, signed by Mr. Gibbon and Mr.
two respectable inhabitants of that Ward, complain-
ing of partial and improper conduct on the part of '
his Lordship, at the Wardmote held on St. Thomas's
Day last, for the election of eight discreet and proper
persons to represent the said Ward in Common
Council, stating, that one of the said petitioners pro-
posed another Candidate, and intended to have pro-
posed four others ; but that his Lordship called upon
the Candidate proposed to know whether he wished
to he put in nomination ? that the Candidate said he
had no such design, whereupon the Loid Mayor re-
fused to put him in nomination. That the Petitioners
contended his Lordship had put no such questions to
any other Candidate, nor was it his duty. That they
again persisted in nominating the said person as a
Candidate, contending that the office was a compul-
sory one, and as he had been regularly proposed
and seconded, his Lordship had rio authority to re-
ject him. The Petition further states, that one in
particular of the persons returned, was not duly qua-
lified, for reasons there stated, and contended that
the whole proceedings were irregular and illegal,
th it the election was therefore void, and concluJed
with praying that a new election should be made,
and that they might be heard by themselves, their
Counsel, Solicitors and Agents, and to adduce evi-
dence to prove the allegations contained in their
Petitions.

Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAW moved that the said
Petition be taken into consideration at the next Court
of Aldermen, and that the parties shall have notice
thereof.

Mr. Gussoms, one of the Petitioners, desired to
know whether the business would be taken into con-
sideration at the next Court, and whether they should

have notice, to prevent his being at the expense of
Counsel and witnesses, at an uncertainty ?

The Lunn MAYOR replied, all he could say was,
that it would be hid beffire the next Court, and he
duntl:l think- that a sufficient notice. _ _ _

Mr. Alderman WAIT/04AS ObierVeti, that the re-
ti:ion was of a very serious nature it complained of
the violation of the tights of Election. If the allega-
tions were true, the Ward would he unrepresented,
or rather, what was worse, misrepresented: for how
could the Corporation act under such circumstances,
for the same think might hlppen in several Wards?
It was at length agreed that the Petition should
be taken into consideration at the nest Court, and
that the parties should have notice thereof.

The Bank, after full inquiry and matute delibera-
tion, have come to a resolution of assisting the House
of CAMefieLL and Co. which was obliged, on Friday,
to stop its payments: The Firm, therefore, resumes
its business immediately. This intelligence was dif-
fused generally yesterday in the City.
The Earl CRAVEN, still cantinues much indisposed
at his seat Hempstead Lodge, Berks.
SUDDEN DEATHS.—Mr. KING, of the house of
Kiw and Corgi, of Wood-street, Cheapside, expired
suddenly on Saturday night, alter having eaten his
supper. This gentleman had attended all that day
in the juror's bus in the Court of King's Bench, and
was in excellent spirits.
Thurs,lay night Mrs. SARAH INSURTIE. of No. 14,
Upper Dorset-street, Portman-square, went to bed in
good health and spirits, after eating a hearty supper,
and next morning was found a corpse in her bed.—
On the same day MIS SUSANNAH WARNER, of No. 8,
in the same street, burst a blood•vessel by an over-
exertion of the muscles, and died immediately.
DEATH OF MR. TOMMY. THE AC 1134.—W1N have
learnt with great regret, of the sudden and unex-
pected death of this very entertaining and useful per-.
former. On Friday last he exhibited symptoms of
delirium, which were ascertained to arise from an
extraordinary determination of blood to the head.
Medical aid was immediately administered, but still
Mr..TOKELY.S disorder became hourly more alarm-
ing, and his derangement was so violent, as to render
it necessary to employ the resti ictions usually ze;orted
to on such occasions. Under those restrictions, with •
his disease rather increasing than mitigated, Mr.
TOKELY remained until Saturday evening, when he
unfortunately espirt:d. We have hence to lament
the premature dissolution of a man whose suavity of
manners and domestic virtnet endeared him to pri-
vate society, while his tales as an actor must ren-
der his death a public loss. Mr. Toeity has left a
wife and children to mourn his melancholy fate.
Yesterday sinnight a woman at Paris, who was in
the habit of drinking brandy to excess, was found by
her husband, on his return home, at the point alf
death. She died almost immediately, and en ex-
amination was found to he much burnt, although
there was neither tire nor candle in the apartment.
The physicians who were consulted, were of opinion,
according to the Paris Journals, that the accident
arose from spontanecus combustion.
PERTH, JAN. 7.—Among the peculiarities of the
present season, it is not the least remarkable, that
hitherto neither snow, nor even sleet, has fallen in
this neighbourhood. The loftier mountains of Perth-
shire have once or twice been capped with snow, but
the nearer and less elevated range of the Grampians,
has never yet received the slightest covering.
One of the curious dogs from the Arctic regions,
was last week sent from London to T. W. COKE, Esq.
at Holkham.
Two beautiful Antelopes, male and female, sent
home by the Marquis of liameos, have arrived in
the Caledonian, at Greenock, from Calcutta, with
several exotic botanical plants, which will be for-
wardet! to the MARCHIONESS, at Loudoun Castle.
Captain GILL' ES has also on board a very fine young
tigress, which was presented in compliment to Cap-
tain GILMER by the Marquis, on his departure from
Calcutta : this animal is at present so simple and
sportive, as occasionally to be permitted entire free-
dom on deck, without the smallest hazard of danger.
A pair of shoes, the upper leathers of which were.
made of rat-shins, were exhibited a few days ago at,
East Retford. The leather is exceedingly smooth,
and as soft as the finest kid, and yet appears stout
and firm. It took six Skins to make the pair of shoes.

&The+, Morris, a watchman, for robbing a house at
Camden• Town, during the absence of the family;
and Willitm Knight, for rc.bbing Mr. Low, in Whim-

LETTER TO MR. Mt N

" Flosainann Sui—We howw you will not be offended sit the
liberty we take in addressing you, to beg of ycu to be so kind as

the Prisoners in this prison; particularly to those Who lay tinder

TO THE 'PRISONERS UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH.
" 'This comes from three unfortenue men, who are about to
suffer the penalty of the law, with the kind intendon of directing
you to flee from the paths wltich lead to eternal destruct/0r...
We wish you to take into your serious consideration the awful
situation which we stand in. We are about to quit this fife, to
enter into either the blissful mansions of those who thoroughly
repent of their sins, and cwne to Goo with a contrite heart, or to
the everlasting misery prepared for those who die in their sins.
Some of you, we are afraid, are soon to be placed in the same
situation; to you in particular we would wish to consider within
yourselves whether you would wish to go to Hraevits? we would
wish you to pay particular attention to the pious exhortations of
a mo,t worthy friend (Mr. iLker,) if you will give ear to his
kind invitations. We assure you, that he will teach you in the
tight way to lay hold of those promises which CDRAP mentioned
to our forefathers when he abode on earth, which you will
find by referring to the Holy Scriptures, particularly the New
Testament, wherein you will find those truths, which, if you
will attend to, will bring you i ao the way that we so much wish
you to enjoy, us by the enjoying of those blessings it is our wish
that you should enjoy the sane ; and let us assure you
that we do sincerely pray that you will endeavour to einbrure the
offers of Salvation which are hid down in the Outipel ; if you do
not, you may depend upon it that you will not enjoy those bles-
sings and privileges, therefore we do sincerely wish you to pay
particular attention to these few word. 'lfue you see this we
• shall be no mme in this meid, and let us assure you that we
never lit that consolation in this world, or in any of its plea-
sures, vs we do now feel in the enjovneent of erne Religion;
may GOD in his mercy be pleased to direct you to look up to
Him for those blessings which he has so faithfully promised
through the merits of Jesus Cuatvr, who died upon the Cross to
save you from your sins, in whom there was neither sin organ*
to be found, and may you be led into the way which we would
with by our feeble efforts to prescribe to your saioas attention.
ID hopes this will have the desired edect, is the prayers of
your e:ell-evishors, (Sign-d)

" Monday Evening, 11 o'clock, Jan. 11, 1819."

Late on Saturday niAt, the sentinel opposite the
house of the Ambassadcr of the ticTiluttAttur,

Whitehall place, obsery ng some persons walking on
the roofs of the houses, he alarmed the watchmen,

as he himself could not leave his post. The alarm
reached the house of CHARLES De it, of Queen-

square, in Scotland-yard, and he repaired thither. On
examination, he found the tlieves had entered a house
under repair, the corner of Whitehall•place, and
from thence went on the roof to the Ambassador's,
.which they entered by a fan-light, opened 12 boxes,
and carried part of the contents into the empty
house; but being alarmed they had not time to carry

off the property.
OUTRAGE ON QUAKERS, AT CARLOWAS a num-
ber of females of the Sudety of Fliends were lately
coming out of their Meeting-house at Callow, they
were assailed by a rile rabble, who, not content with
using such missiles as ft.ll directly in their way, raked
the vet y kennels for filth and ordure to heap on the
persons of these respectable peopl n. The Roman
Catholic Priest of the Twn, the Rev. WM. Fil7A:a•
RALD, addressed his Parishioners next Sunday on the
-subject of this outrage, in the following terms: -
