COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL... g./ 'qv DISTRUS The minutes of the Court having been read, Alderman BROWN presented a petition from the Se 'Cretary of the Committee for relieving distress in Han over, which, on the motion of the worthy Alderman was r ead..—lt'detailed the late awful visitation of Pao- Ini maee. and prayed such aid from the Hon. Court as it should feel disposed w grant. Alderman &town moved to refer the Petition to the Committee of General Purposes. After a few observations from Messrs. Taylor, Dixon, and Old ham, the motion was agreed to. IQUITANLII LOAM COMPANY. Several Petitions on private business having been re ceived and disposed of, a report was presented from the Committee of General Purposes, on the proceedings of a Committee of the House of Commons, relative to the Bill proposed to be introduced into the Hon. House by the Equitable Loan Company. The Report in question complained of the conduct of the House of Commons Committee, in refusing to allow Alderman Waithman, as agent to the City Corporation, to enter into the general me' its of the Bill, and protested against the partiality of such Committee, eleven of the twenty members being pecuniarily interested in layout of the Bill. On the motion that the Report be printed, Mr. S. Diem commended the conduct of Alderman Waithman, in refusing o waive his right, as their agent, to enter into an °pp.), itton to the Bill on its general merits. Mr.FAYSLL congratulated the Court on the acquisi tion of so promising a recruit to its corps of Parliamen tary Reformers. Mr. S. Dixon would act for the future as be had ever done—conscientiously. After some further obssrvatiossay different Members, Alderman WAITNMAN entered upon a detailed state ment of the difficulties he had had to encounter in the discharge of his agency for the Corporation against the Equitable Loan Bill. Had he witnessed snch conduct in a Committee of the Court of Common Council, he should have deprecated it as most unfair, partial, and unjust. What, however, could be expected from a Com mittee constituted as that of the House of Comm Ons on this Bill had been? In short, such was the personal • interests of Hon. Members in the success of trading bills, that the great body of traders affected by the proposed enactments, must look to the independence of the here ditary legislators of the country for protection. The worthy Alderman concluded by congratulating the Court on the salutary effect produced on the mind of an Hon. Member, (Mr. S. Dixon) by half an hour's at tention to the partial conduct of the House of Commons Committee, and he doubted not that it would add a powerful advocate to the already respectable list of Parliamentary Reformers in the City Corporation. The Report, and extracts from the evidence, were then ordered to be printed. IMPORTATION OF FORZION GRAIL The requisition on this subject having been read, Mr. FAVgLL thought no apology necessary for intro ducing this important question to the notice of the Court. Indeed, it would have been a dereliction of their duty to their fellow-citizens if they had not come lota ard in protection of the interests of the traders and artisans from an excessive remuneration of the agrieul twists to the prejudice of the rest of their fellow-sub jects. The Hon. Member then referred to Smith's Wealth of Nations, in aJvocating a liberal policy with regard to the importation of grain, and to the proceed ings of the corporate body, the public at large, and Sir F. Burdett as their organ in Parliament ten years since, in proof of the great national importance of the question. The system of bonding was but a palliative, and the commercial body was now groaning under it; it was also obvious, that measures tending to depress the home market, must be highly disadvantageous to the agriculturists themselves. So great and so notorious indeed were the evils resulting from the existing Corn Laws, that the object which at the present time engaged the attention of the Court, disinterested as were its mem bers on the subject, would, doubtless, elicit a wise and po litic resolution of a body advocating the essential interests of a population of upwards of a million and a half within the circuit of a few miles. He thought it unnecessary to detain the Court longer, and therefore concluded by moving a Resolution declaratory of the expediency of a revision of the present Corn Laws, and a Petition to the two Houses of Parliament, founded on such Reso lution, and praying the removal of the existing restric tions on the importation of foreign grain. Deputy ROUTH seconded the motion with pleasure. Aldsrman THOMPSON was convinced of the wisdom of the course proposed to be pursued, and although it might therefore appear unnecessary for him to urge any argument in its favour until those against it had been submitted to the Court, he could not refrain from avail ing himself of the earliest opportunity of expressing his 'pinion of the necessity of an early revision of the Corn Laws by the House of Commons. He hoped that s• town and district of Great Britain would petition Pa. . Tent to a similar effect. Aluerman Wools expressed his conviction of the ne mashy of the propose(' measure, and he should be most happy to support the Petition of the Court in his seat in the House of Commons. Mr. OLDHAM congratulated the Court on the una nimity which prevailed on this important subject. Alderman WAITHISAN, Mr. SLADE, and Mr. DORN• roan, suppotted, and Mr. Dixon, at some length, op posed the motion; which, however, was carried, with the single dissentient voice of the latter Gentleman. THZ ZULU OF TIM MAST PRISON. The Committee for General Purposes presented a Report on the recent extension of the Rules of the Fleet, and recommending a Memorial to be presented to the Lord Chief and other Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, requesting a revision of their order, which was agreed to, and it was referred to the Com• mittee to prepare the proper Memorial. Wednesday morning, a fire broke out in a large cot tage at Upper Edmonton, the property of Mr. Meade. 11e cottage, and all the furniture and other property it contained, were totally consumed. The fire was per ceived at about half-past five o'clock, but owing to the distance of Edmonton from the metropolis, the engines did not arrive until between eight and nine o'clock, and when they had reached the spot, in consequence of the deficient supply of water, which was obliged to be conveyed in carts, they could render but lit tle assist ante. The Lutes raged with the greatest violence for yearly four hours. A melancholy accident occursed to one of the firemen of the Eagle Insurance Com pany as they were passing with considerable rapidity through Stamford•hill gate. he was precipitated, wi h west violence, from the engiue,which driving over him, ti.e cap of his knee vs as almost armed ftoto the to‘ket.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ALGIERS, DATED MARCH 7. " On Wednesday, the 2d instant, this city and neigh bourhood were visited with a tremendous earthquake, which continued at intervals for the five following days. It has thrown down several houses and injured many others, and has totally destroyed the town of Blida, one day's journey from this, burying in its nuns nearly all the inhabitants. Out of a population of 15,000 persons, chiefly Moors, Jews, and Arabs, about SOO only have been saved, and those in a sadly mutilated state. " The first two shocks which occurred, were at two minutes, and at forty-two minutes after ten A.M. were extremely violent, and the motion both circular and perpendicular. On the same evening, two more shocks occurred; on Thursday evening three, on Friday two, on Saturday two, and on Sunday, between the hours of oue and three A.K. two more, which, it is to be hoped, may prove the last. " To-morrow I purpose going to visit the ruins of that ill•fated town, where I am told a horrible scene of devastation presents itself: 7000 dead bodies have been already dug out. In one spot, supposed to be a Jewish seminary, the bodies of 280 children were found, and a vast number of persons in the ruins of the Mosques, where the people had congregated, the earthquake having occurred at the hour of prayer. " In the immediate neighbourhood of the town, the earth has opened in large interstices of from eight to ten feet wide, and as many deep; and it is worthy of remark, that the same phenomenon which generally precedes the eruption of Etna and Vesuvius, occurred at Blida—namely, all the wells and fountains in the neighbourhood became perfectly dry. " The troops which the Government sent out to pre vent plunder have been attacked by vast hordes of the Cobails, and have thus added to the work of death.— The Cobails are of a race totally distinct from the Turks, Moors, or Arabs: they are the descendants of the ancient Numidians, and inhabit the mountains of this part of Africa, are perfectly independent, and have never been subdued by the Turks. As an act of grace, the Dey bas manumitted all the slaves, and has ordered a public thanksgiving for the salvation of this city. " GOD knows whether we are to experience any more of these horrible visitations. There is every appear ance to the contrary, if the weather be any indication. Your mother and all of us have, as you will easily be. lieve, been most dreadfully alarmed. We were afraid even of going to our beds, and spent the greatest part of our time oaths roof of the house, which is a perfect flat, and there we were safe, so far as regarded anything from above, and had the house given way, we should have stood a chance of being uppermost on the ruins. 61 There is one circumstance which I have omitted to mention—that an excellent barometer I have, kept gradually falling for some days before the earthquake, while the weather indicated no change whatever, other wise than that on the day it happened my thermometer rose suddenly from 58 to 621 degrees, which is a very -traordinary occurrence." OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY. STEALING IN A DWELLING-HOUSE. Jain Macdonald stood indicted capitally for stealing, a the month of February, a great variety of wearing apparel and other property , the goods of Mary Ann Cooper, of Rdgeware. Several witnesses were called to bring the charge home to the prisoner. The Loan Cam Jurrsen summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoner Gulley of stealing under 4411. CHARGE OF ROBBERY AT A FIRE. Dania Trotter, a fireman, was put to the bar on au indictment, charging hint capitally with staling, on the 16th day of February, a large quantity of silver, the property of Michael Starkey, in his dwelling-house, 28, No rth-street, City Road, Parish of St. Luke. The prosecutor stated, that being absent from home on the night in question, he found the greater part of bis house had been de stroyed by fire. When he left home there were in the house about three hundred ounces of silver. On the Monday following witness found from a hundred and thirteen to a hundred and twenty ounces remaining. The search was continued on the Tuesday and Wednesday, and about fifty ounces more were dis covered. The prisoner was a fireman and assisted in the search. In consequence of information , and idiom ounces of silver having been sent subsequently to the prosecutor, by Messrs. Abud, of Clerkenwell, the prisoner was secured. William Mead, foreman to the Hope Insurance Company, to which the prisoner also belonged, stated that the prisoner was pre sent, and had the care of part of the property found. He gave him a most unexceptionable character for eighteen years. Mr. J. 1). Sutliffe, principal clerk in the employ of Messrs. Abud, said, the silver in question was brought to their house by a person named Heath. Mr. J. Heath proved receiving the silver from a beer-machine maker, named Searle. Mr. Searle proved receiving it as a gift from the prisoner, who said he bad found it at a are, and thought it would serve him for solder. Witness was induced to inquire into its valueaeonv the circumstance of its weight. Prisoner did not ask anything for it. The Aker who took the primmer into custody said, that when he informed him for what he did so, be said be was totally ignorant of it; but when the °dicer explained, the prisoner readily said yes, he bad picked up a bit of something which be thought was solder , and told to whom he had given it. The prisoner declared bis nocence, and was about to can a great number of witnesses, but the Jury intimated that they were satisfied. . Mr. Justice Pins said, the capital part of the charge was done away with as the house was destroyed; but his Lordship thought, for the satisfaction of the public and the prisoner himself, that be should make some remarks. The Jury instantly found the prisoner Not Gaily. Yesterday, Elizabeth Webster, alias Eady, was indicted for stealing twenty yards of bombazeen, the property of William Bates Drew. Verdict—Gaddy. Wiltiala ThotapsoN, aged only seventeen, was put to the bcr on an indictment charging him with assaulting on the Kim's highway, and wits force' and violence taking hum the person of Elizabeth Davidson, property to the amount of 51. and upwards. The facts were Cully proved against the young, though daring delin quent, and the Jury found hitn—Gwiltif, Death. mnrAL, INrELLMENCEs FALIIOOI4I. APRIL 'lll.-...,W00d jg.

Cleary, an Irish lad, 16 years of age, of most uncouth appear ance, was charged with stealing notes, cash, &c. value 1075/. the property of G. Roe, Egg. of Tipperary. Mr. Martin, agent to Mr. It. said that Gentleman was in a bad state of health, and some time since his male attendant absconded with 15001. which was not missed till eight weeks aster the robber's elopement. The prisoner, who was then a cow boy, was taken into the house in bis room. Ile quitted the service on the 22d ult. and soon after it was disco veted that 10751. in notes and cash was extracted from the same cabinet. The prisoner was traced from Tipperary to Dublin, and thence to London, where Mr. Martin followed him; and having given information at this Mice, Salmon apprehended him oa Wed nesday night. Mr. Nesbitt, keeper of a coffee-shop in St. Martin's-le-Grand, said, the prisoner came to lodge with him, on Saturday se'nnight, and appeared to have a great deal of money, of which he seemed very profuse, throwing it about his room, when be of:red to be his banker; the prisoner then gave him a purse containing 2 9 sove reigns, and told him he had got several Irish notes and bills which he wanted to get cashed. The former he got cashed for him, but the latter he could not unless they were backed by some respect able person. Sir R. BIZNIZ asked the witness if it did not strike him as extra ordinary, that a boy of the prisoner's appearance should be possessed of so much money ? Witness replied, that he told him be and his brother had had a legacy of 7251. each ; that he was come to Lon don to complete his education, when he meant to purchase a com mission in the army, or pursue some other respectable calling. (This, from the uncouth appearance of the prisoner, caused a general smile.) Sir R. Bums said, the story was too absurd to gain belief by any man of common sense, and the witness ought to have pursued a different line of conduct.—The prisoner was then remanded. WORS HI P-STREET. Alward William Tuck, an elderly man of respectable appearance, was brought before the sitting Magistrate (Mr. °swans) for exami nation, on a charge of embezzlement, preferred against him by Sir W. Curtis Bart. Sir William being sworn, deposed that he is Lord of the Manor of Edmonton. The prisoner had been in his employ many years as bailiff on that estate, and was intrusted to receive the quit-rents from his tenants. It was his duty to render a yearly account to his em ployer. He regularly made such returns. (An account was handed to Sir William by Mr. Harmer, his Solicitor.) This account was rendered July 11, 1883, and is in the prisoner's hand-writing. It is arranged alphabetically. The only sum under the letter W. Is El 10s. Id. I have a tenant in Edmonton named John Whitbread. The prisoner is entitled to some perquisites besides his annual wages. Mr. John Whitbread, tenant to Sir William, stated, that on the 26th of January, 1822, he paid to the prisoner, as agent to Sir Wil liam Curtis, the sum of £8 10s. 2d. as quit-rent. He paid it by check on the bank of Sir Win. Curtis and Co. in Lombard-street. The prisoner's receipt fur the money was produced, and Mr. Blacken, clerk in the banking-house, proved the payment and can celling of the check. Mr. Harmer—Has that money ever been paid to you, Sir William? Sir Wm. Curtis.—Never ; directly or indirectly. Mr. Pope. a Solicitor, who attended foe the prisoner, said there had never, up to the present time, been a clear settlement of accounts between his client and Sir William QM* and the money deficient could only be considered as a debt. He directed the attention of Sir William to an account which the prisoner had sent to him at Christ mas last, and asked if be was prepared to say that the money re ceived from Mr. Whitbread was not included in a sum of 41116, which appeared on that account ? Sir William replied that be was not prepared to say so. Mr. Osmium—Have you accepted that as the prisoner's account, Sir William? _ _ _ - Sir William Curtis—Certainly not. Mr. Harmer—ln point of fact, Sir William, have nut the ac counts been closed every year ? &r William Cards—They have. The accounts of several successive years were then produced, and appeared to have been regularly balanced and dosed each year. Mr. Pope requested the case might be adjourned for a few days. Sir William esptemed the utmost readiness to accede to this re quest ; but observed, that if this case was insullicient, he bad twenty others to bring against the prisoner. The prisoner was then remanded for further examination. The Ship Canal Company have purchased, for it'9o,ooo, seven miles of the Taunton and Bridgewater Canal, nearest to Bridgewater, which exactly suits the direction of their Canal. The advantages of this to Taunton will be very great ; it will give a branch from die Ship Canal to Taunton, which will thus be ren dered in effect a seaport. —Beth Paper. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE'S journey from Paris to London was performed with extraordinsry celerity. His Grace left Paris last Friday morning, and arrived at Chiswick by eight o'clock is the evening of Saturday to dinner, where a large party of friends were assembled, and who are now t he inmates of the Noble Duke's boable villa. MYSTERIOUS MURDER NEAR HANwELL.-A murder was committed at or Gear Hanwell, on the evening of Friday, the 25th of March, rm Robert Chadwell, a uheelwright, of Uxbridge. It appeal, that the de ceased left Uxbridge with a letter for Ealing, but he drank a great deal of beer at Hanwell, the intermediate place, and was much intoxicated. He was carried on some men's backs into the stable of the Green Man, at Hanwell, where he soon recovered and entered the tap room. He remained there about five boors, but drank nothing but one pint of beer. At that time the wag goner of the Brachley waggon, whose name is Brown, came into the house, and the deceased quarrelled with him about a seat. They, however, became friend', and Brown consented to allow the deceased to ride in his waggon. The waggon had proceeded but a short dis tance, followed by the Bucks waggon, when the de ceased was found lying on the road quite dead. A me dical man merely looked at the body, and he gave, as his opinion, that the deceased had died of apoplexy ; and, upon an Inquest being held, a verdict to that effect was recorded. Another medical Gentleman, a Mr. Grimston, of Uxbridge, with other persons, were how ever, induced to examine the body, when they found a wound, apparently made by a knife, on the right side of the lower part of the body, which was decidedly the cause of the man's death. Another Inquest was there fore held, when it appeared that the seat of the de ceased's small-do hes, which had been 'stained with blood, had been partially washed, and also the shirt, which Mr. Grimston found hung out to dry. The wound which the deceased had received would have produced instant death, and there was also the mark of a blow across the thighs, apparently given by a heavy stick or whip, and also another on the left hand, received by the deceased, no doubt, in warding off a blow. Several witnesses were examined, but their evidence could not mower the mystery in which the case was enveloped, 'ad the Jury returned a verdict of 44 Wilful Minder against some 'emu or ersons unknown.* —emu- BETTING-ROOM, rArnutsALL;s, APRIL 7.

The visitors, however, continue ro be only mu , rough-bred turf-men. These Races have not at any rime been vet y attractive to those who frequent such meetings for amusement sake; and, indeed, from the want of accommodatitin on the Coale, it does not apipear tobe an object to give such visitors much encou ragement. The ground at Newmarket is known to be an extensive Heath, supplied with one Stand.house, and that in a situation which renders it entirely useless; for the running, for the• most part, takes place upon the Sat, at some distance from it. Neither do any persons attend with drays or carts to afford standinfronne, so that the pedestrians have little pleasure in seeing the running, and are exposed to be rode over by the horsemen, from being cow paled to mix with them. The Duke of Portland has provided a moveable stand, which is placed upon a cart, but that affords ac commodation only on a very small scale, and is exclusively for his family and friend.. For these reasons you miss almost entirely, from the Race-course at Newmarket, those crowds of the curie*, of the lower orders, whom similar spectacles bring together in other places; and the absence of booths for their retreshatent robs the meeting Of all appearance of a country festival. The number of horsemen upon the Course to-day was very great. The Duke of York was on the ground. Betting as to the Derby is in a languishing state. Rufus is spoiling all sport by winning every thing. It was strongly expected that he would have been beaten by the Duke of York's Phantom, particularly as 51hs. were ii lowed because of the mare being unified. This berwßas great rte- Luau in him, but he is a laity brine. Everything that he has dose has been in the most sluggish way. He takes stabbing and beating without measure. If he is not beaten to-morrow, there will be nu betting against him. His first day's work was a miserable triumph, but unlike all other horses of the Prudence breed, he mends every day. At present be is the favourite for the Derby, with odds. As to the Oaks, Mine is the favourite, bet apprehensions are entere_ tabled from the state of her feet.
