Mr. Thorp, Alderman of Aldgate Ward, died on Saturday. Mr.
Humphery, M.P. for Southwark, and Mr. Sheriff Salomons, are can- didates for the vacant gown ; and Alderman Wood, in compliance with a requisition numerously signed by members of the Common Council, has allowed himself to be put in nomination for the Gover- norship of the Irish Society, which was held by the late Mr. Thorp. Attempts have been made, but hitherto without success, to effect a reconciliation between Messrs. Rotch and Winchester. Rotch is willing to offer something like an apology, but not such as satisfies the offended dignity of Winchester,—who will probably take, not a shot at, but the "law of him," after all.
The members of the Marylebone Loyal and Constitutional Associa- tion held a meeting on Tuesday; Colonel Stopford in the chair. These Tories had the assurance to boast of their success in the regis- tration, and to declare that they are quite sure to return two Members for Marylebone at the next election,—one of them we presume to be the polished Captain Jonas Burton. They prudently abstained, how- ever, from publishing a statement of the number of votes they had secured.
