CHOICE OF ALDERMEN.

The Mayon then said that the councillors of the several
wards might now proceed to elect their respective aldermen.
Several of the aldermen were located; but it appearing that
this could not be done for all the wards, in consequence of a
number of the councilmen having left, and the act requiring
that the choice should be made when the whole of the re-
presentatives of each ward was present, the town-clerk
thought t hat it would be better to call the councillors together
for the special purpose.
Two or three gentlemen called attention to the fart that
there is to be a charity sermon preached at St. Peter's
Church, on Sunday, in aid of the funds of the Blue Coat
Hospital, and requested that the mayor would signify his in-
tention of attending, when no doubt the whole of the council
would honour him with their company. They thought, as
this was a moat deserving institution, that the mayor would
most probably consent.
The 'MAY ou said that he might at once state that it was
not his intention to attend St. George's Church, but to go to
his own place of worship on Sundays. He was not aware
that there was anything in the municipal act in the slightest
degree interfering with the religious opinions or observances
of the mayor, and had therefore come to the resolution which
he had mentioned.

Mr. Councillor BOLTON regretted that the point had been
raised at all; 'gut he still submitted that the mayor might, on
the particular occasion previously alluded to, attend St. Pe-
ter's on Sunday, without altering his general determination.
The MAYOR ultimately acceded to the wishes of the gen-
tlemen who desired him to attend the charity sermon.

The council broke up at a quarter past lour, and stands
adjourned to Wednesday week.

SPORTING _INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
THE DERBY.'—As in London, so with us, the leading
favourite cannot be moved; and further, two or three out-
side horses backed at Tattersall's yesterday have, since our
last quotations, found favour more extensively here, namely,
—Lord Albemarle's colt Tros, by Priam, Mr. Bowes's Ac-
celerator, by Velocipede, and Erin-go-bragh, by Emancipa-
tion (the last being, we believe, one of the lots sold at the
late Mr. Yates's sale of yearlirws to Mr. Speed, of Liver-
pool, and subsequently to Mr. Bowes): all have been backed
at our quotations. Mr. Day's Bulwark, by Defence, and
Mr. E. Peel's, the Dey of Algiers, by Priam, have each
been fancied at copious odds; the latter, we rather think, is
or wiil be transferred from Hedgeford to Col. Peel's lot at
Newmarket. Zitnmerman (out of the Carpenter's dam),
although a beaten favourite in the two-year-old race at Don-
caster, is still nibbled upon. From present appearances, the
Derby cannot fail to be a greater betting race than has been
known for many years. The following are the average
