The Ward of Coleman Street yesterday elected Mr. Warren Stormes

Hale to he Alderman. At the meeting, the Lord Mayor mentioned with regret the death of an old inhabitant of the Ward, and one who had for many years devoted himself to City improvements—Mr. Thomas Henry Hall. Mr. Hall died on Thursday, at his house in Finsbury Square.

At a meeting of the Guardians and Directors of the Poor of Marylebone, held yesterday, Mr. Ryan handed in a letter from Mr. Grey of the Poor-law Board, requiring him " to forthwith resign the office of Master of the Mary- lebone Workhouse." In reply to a question, Mr. Ryan said he considered himself the officer of the Board of Guardians and no other board. A reso- lution was moved directing the Master to reply to the Poor-law Board, that he should continue to carry out the orders o the Guardians : instead of this, however, it was resolved that a special meeting should be summoned to deal with the matter.
