The dis . cots upon the subject have already run t o great lergtbs in the City, and the scrupulous examination o f t h e s tate of the funds, as well as of the state of the o ld Bridge, will, it is expected, lead to a total change in the arrangements that have been lately made. Mr. OLDH/151 and Alderman Vexantes, who were principal opponents to the erection of the amongst the contemplata Bridge, regretted that the spit it of eco nomy did not seem to influence the whole Corporation; but they expressed a confident hope, that when the immense difficulties which would atten the under taking should be represented to those ni d t(' were now anxious to cross the Thames over a gaudy structure, would at once resign the speculation, and be satisfied with improvernents which were practicable, and could be carried on without serious expense. It had been estimated that a new Bridge would cost £1,500,000. The approaches to the new Bridge would cause a " turn-out" of a vast number of citizeas, whose trade would be c ompletely ruined. Why the people of London and Southwark should pay for what would do such extensive injury, could not be conjectured, especially as estim - ..es were generally trebled before the completion of any great undertaking. The improvements at Temple-bar were estimated I:100,000, but after having remained in au unfi nished state for sixteen years, the sum of £330,000 vas expended upon it, and about MOO person; were driven from London. The new Post Oilice expense was estimated at £ 200,000, and 1:`10,000 had al ready been expended in making approaches to that which was to be made at some I inure period, and to procee d i n s sliich the suns of £lOO,OOO was now re quited. The Bridge House funds were now such as would afferd to pity for the only necessary improve . - 'tents—the addition of two :itches, which could be made for the sum of k:60,000. Ina few years those fond, would, u ith proper care, be considerably in creased, and if the Corporation should think it ne cessary to have a new Bridge over the Thames, rather than the old enc. the thing could be undertaken with out placi , ig the Public under contribution. Those statements and suggestions met with decided arpr..bation, and a resolution was entered into, that a deputation from this meeting should wait upon the Bridge House Committee, to represent to the mem bers the neces'ity of changing the tendency of their Yesterday the deputation had the desired i n t e rview, and stated the substance of the discussion. A cintest took place, which will be renewed in a short time at a p ublic meeting, where the question vial be fully discussed. WooL AND WOOLLEN TRADE.—Yesterday a re- s ped ,ble Meeting of Merchants and others concerned in the Wtwl and Woollen Trade was held at the King's fleAd Tavern, in the Poultry, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of present ing a Petition to Parliament, praying a repeal of the Tax on Foreign Wool; and to adopt such measures a n s hould appear most advisable to enable the British ma nufacturer to meet the competition of foreigners: Mr. MAITI.AND in the Chair. After some discussion, in which it was stated that the importation of foreign cool had fallen off from 100,000 bags to 60,000, it was resolved to present a Petition to Parliament, praying, that as the Warehousing Bill would allow foreign woollens to he transmitted through our coun try without paying any duty, the House would be p l ease d to take off the duty on foreign wools. MENDICITY SoCreTv.—The Society for the Sup pression of hlendicity in the Metropolis held its AlS siversary Festival yesterday.

After the cloth was removed, Aon ;WU Dontiae sang in very good style, and the usual standing toasts dis posed of, the Hon. C.

Palma; the health of the Board of Management, for which Mr. FIEIBI3 returned thanks ; and the Duke of Non- TRUIIBERLAND, the Master and Wardens of the Gold- Smiths' Company, who were announced as subscribers to the extent of £lOO. The healths of the Treasurers,. the Sect etary, and the British Fair followed. After an evening spent in the greatest hilarity and happi-, less, about eleven o'clock the company separated.

The rest of the matter he conceived to be much of course. Mr. BicxeusrAFF was on the same side. The ATTOA\EY•GBNLRAL was a good deal SW prised at this applic4ion - it came from Lord Grant-, ley, who, although he was trustee of the estate of this unfoitunate Nobletnin, was yet a stranger in blood to the family ; and who was not, at present, a person who had anything to do with the care of the person of the Noble Earl Mr. Henry Fellowes was nomi nated by the Master; why was my Lord Grantley to anticipate that everything which was right would not be done by Mr. Fellowes ?" This Petition was unneces sary, and therefore he must oppose it as useless. Mr. WETHERELL and Mr. Parra followed on the same side. Richard Grigg, aged-26, was indicted for robbing it C.

Thomas Bari:es. aged 26, was indicted for break ing and entering the house of Lnc:ts Houghton, and stealing a great coat, a tea caddy, and a variety ol other articles. Mr. Houghton is a law stationer, having a coun try house at Edmonton.. and the prisoner was for some time his labourer. On' the morning of the 20th of February, his house was found to have been rob bed, the thief having taken up a grating. and got in at the kitchen window, by taking out a pane of glass. A table clock was among the . property stolen... A' suspicion fell on the prisoner, and enquiry being made at his lodging, it was found that he had quit ted, saying ,be was going to work at another place, but it was ascertained that he had gone to London. Hand-bills were printed, and distributed among the pawnbrokers, and one at I3attle Bridge produced a great coat, and a tea caddy, allies the prisoner had pawned with him. The tea caddy was locked, and when Mr. Houghton produced the key of it, it was found to contain tea, and a silver caddy spoon. Ver dict, Guilty—Death. Henry Pesten, aged 19, was indicted for breaking and entering the house of Richard Birkenshaw, and stealing 12 sovereigns, and Joseph Hatchett, aged 20, and John Day, aged 19, were indicted for receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Birkenshaw is a grocer at Holloway. On the 1 9th of March he went out, having locked up his. 'house and shop ; but, on his return at 11 o'clock at, , night, be found they had been broken open, and the money, and other articles, chiefly a great quantity of apparel, were stolen. He got a light from a neigh bour and they 'found Pestell lying on his back asleep in the kitchen. Some of the apparel was foliates 'his person. Day was apprehended by Taylor, lei officer, on the 11th of March, and Hatthett on tbe 145th. Day Wanted the Magistrate, at Worship-streeti to accept bail, but he said he could not. He then cOo 'fessed that some of the property was in a field. The Magistrate allowed the officers to take them to the , place, and on their way to Hornsey-lane, Day said, that Hatehett knew where it was. • Hatchett then toOk than aver a bank into a field, and then climbed -a hollow tree, into which he put his hand, and tossk.out two waistcoats, which had been stolen from the prosecutor, and which he said he had got from Pestell, at the Plough, in the Hornsey-road. Verdict, Guilty—Deuth". Mary Smith, aged 21, was indicted for stealing a 1001. note, and other monies, the property of Ti The LORD CIIANCILLOR said that he did not think this petition was necessary, tecause it was the duty of the Court to take care of the matter which was the subject of it. He did not think, however, that the petition ought to be censured, for be could not forget that this unfortunate Nobleman was a person who had beet: in the world from the year 1809 until 1823, as a pet son having no care thrown around him, although he had been for the whole of that time in want of that care,.he being,:. as. it was now found by the proper tribunal, a It:italic, all that while; and that it was owing to Lord Grantley that protection had been thrown around the person of that unfortunate Noble Earl. It was not the business of the Court to appoint any body to take care of the person or estate of the Noble Etrl, that was the Master's business; " but (said his Lordship) " 1 never will confirm - the appoint ment of anybody to be a committee of the person of this Noble Lord, unless there shall be a provision for proper cate to be taken, day and night, and from hour to hour, of the comfort and happiness of that unfortunate noble person ;" and, therefore, his Lord ship decided that this matter should go back for the above purpose to the blaster; and after hearing a, general reply from Mr. HART to what had been said. against the Petition, and defending his client for pre- senting it ; for my Lord Grantley, he said, was only anxious that due care should be taken of thi unfortunate Nobleman. His Lordship said, .4 I think that, if I understand anything, I understand this case tolerably well ; and my secretary, who has heard whad have said upon it, will draw out an order accordingly, which I shall also, as I shall find necessary, with my own hand. Ido not think it necessary to make any order on the Petition of my Lord Grantley, al though I do not blame him for presenting it; on the contrary, had it not been for the efforts of Lore Grantley, I doubt whether this Court would eves have had any exercise of its jurisdiction in this asat ter ; but that is now gone by, and unless I mistik this case very much, I shall be Ole to provide that due care shall be thrown around this Noble Lurd, both with regard to his personal happiness and the aim• nagement a his property." • Mr. HART.--" Does your Lordship disiniss the Petition of Lord Grantley r blogiaamb •-.. ..: _. i s . .
