COURT OF ALDERMEN, LONDON.

PETITION AGAINST THE ELECTION OF ALOEI:MAN SALOMONS.

Alderman Brown stated that since he had come into court a
petition had been put into his hands, on the subject of the late
election of an alderman for the ward of Aldgate, by persons who
entertained certain objections to the return of Mr. Sheriff Salo-
mons. He had felt it to be his duty to present the petition; but
that act, he wished it to he understood, was no other than a
ministerial act, and he offered no opinion whether the election
was to he lamented or applauded—whether it was justifiable or
unjustifiable. He should be prepared when it might be neces-
sary for him to act judicially to give his opinion upon the ques-
tion. There was one consolation about this question. It was
a question of character, for a more profound respect, in-
deed he might almost say veneration, than that which was en-
tertained for the character of Mr. Salomons by the members of
the Court of Aldermen- could not possibly be felt. (Lone(
cheers.) In presenting the petition he (Alderman Brown)
must be considered as merely discharging a public duty.
(Hear, hear.)
The following is the petition :
"To the right honourable the Lord Mayor and Alder.,
men•of the city of London, the humble petition of thd
undersigned freemen, inhabitants of the ward of Ald-
gate,
" Sheweth,
" That an election having taken place for an alderman of the
said ward, which finally closed on the 19th day of November
instant, David Salomons, Esq., and sheriff of the said city, was
on the following day declaied Alderman of the said ward.
"'That by virtue of a certain act of parliament, made and
passed in the 9th year of the reign of his late Majesty George
the 4th, it is required that a solemn declaration be made oil the
true faith of a christian nut to exercise any power, authority, or
influence to injure or weaken the protestant church, as by law
established. That the said David Salomons, publicly professing
himself to be a person of the Jewish persuasion, must be one
against whoua the said act was intended to be passed, and can-
not, in the judgment of your petitioners, conscientiously make
or subscribe such declaration, and is therefore ineligible to dis-
charge the important duties of the office.
"Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that you will
be pleased to take the matter into your serious consideration
previously to the admission of the said David Salomons as a
member of your honourable court."

THE DUKE OP CEMEKRLAND.— Letters received in London
from the continent, on Friday state, that his royal highness the
Duke of Cumberland intended visiting London shortly after
Christmas. Prince George continues in good bodily health,
hut we regret to learn that the young prince's sight still coati-
nued without any material improvement.

EcDOTE OF ki.kcii tIALL, THE LAST KING OF THE BEGGARS.
—His residence was in Dublin, whence, like other great men,
be made periodical progress to the principal towns in the king-
dom. He travelled in a donkey chair, and, stopping at the
doers, peremptorily demanded the rent by calling out "the tint,
the riot," no answer was sufficient to send him away until the
rent was handed out, one penny at least. Some time about the
year 1780, being rent collecting iu Cork, the resident beggars
saw the ruin of their trade in his monopoly, and in a body wait-
ed upon him at his lodgings, and, like loyal subjects, humbly
explained their grievances. Hackball, ascunning, as is bis suc-
cessor, proposed to meet them on a certain day at the Lough,
Where he promised to divide all his receipts in Cork amongst
them, as he was now rich enough and could well afford it. The
day arrived, anti, trueto t he appointment, the motley crew were in
crowds round the Lough, every moment expecting the appear-
ance of the great man, but, alas for those, who depend on the
promises of the great ! Hackball was at the earliest dawn with
a heavy purse and a light heart on his way back to Dublin.—
Morul.—The modern Hackball may play a like trick to the
fools who feed Mtn whenever it suits his convenience.—Cork

BOAT Leal. AND Sot griai DkowNen.—lt becomes ourpain-
ful duty to record one of the most mournful events that have
happened for a longtime on this coast. On Wednesday morn-
ing the 18th instant, five of the fishing boats from Coldingham,
while nut at sea, were overtaken by a violent storm. The
crew drew in their nets with all speed, double-reefed their sails,
used every. ,precaution which the most experienced seamanship
could suggest, and stood for the nearest port. All the boats
reaehed the harbours of Eyememth and Burn Louth, with splin-
tered masts and torn sails, except the Seaflower. She had been
observed by her companions in distress out a few yards a-head,
struggling with the 'tempest. A wave intercepted the view;
they looked again—a solitary ear floated on the waters! 11cr
crew consisted hif on able and experienced skipper, and five
young men—the flower of the village. The following are the
names of the men lost, viz.:—Peter Johnson. skipper, unmar-
ried, cousin of Ro7,ert and Aleck ; John Wilson, see., left a
•John Wilson. jun.. son of the above, left a widow and
one child—wife far advanced in pregnancy, David Carmack,
Robert Johnson. and Alexander Johnson, brothers, single

OMINOUS DISASTER. —On Thursday last an ominous and se-
rious disaster occurred in Carrick-on-Suir, which narrowly
escaped being attended with f ital consequences. As a carpen-
ter, named Dann, assisted by three other persons, were in the
act of affixing is sign,. with the portrait of the immaculate Dan
thereon represented, to the front of a publican's house, the roof-
ing of the house gave way, when dreadful to relate, the poor.
carpenter had one of his lees and a few ribs broken, his body
also was otherwise. mutilated. He was instantly conveyed to
the hospital, and we are happy to say, is now pronounced out
of danger. The other men were partially injured.—Clonmell

In the stomach of a large eel, taken with a hand-line close
to Scattery Island, Lower Shannon, on Tuesday, the 10th inst.,
was found a coast-guard button, green and greatly corroded.—

FrIEDERICK WILLI ANI 1., KING OP PRU‘SIA.—When the
King had inviter] himself as a guest, he had at times to pay the
reckoning. One of his generals who was noted for his parsi-
mony, baying declined the royal visit under the plea that he
had establishment of his own, his majesty desired him to or-
der a dinner ~t the Hotel of the King of Portugal. This of
course could not be evaded; the king was invited, hut came
with twice the number orattends nts the general expected. The
very best, however, that. the cellar or kitchen could afford was
produced in the greatest abundance, and the King expressed
his entire satisfaction. The general sent for the landlord, and
inquired the price per head. " One florin without the wine."
"Well, then, here is one florin 1..1 -myself and another for his
Majesty; the other gentlemen. whom did not invite, will pay
for themselves." ." That- is clever." cried the King: "
