HEYGATE, 111Avort. A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the CHAMBER of the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON, on WEDNESDAY, the 14th Day of May, 18'4 lIIESOLVED VNANIMOVSLV, THAT although this Court determined to prosecute, the Bill for rebuilding of London Bridge they did so, not from a conviction of the necessity or expediency of the measure, but merely as Trustees for the Bridge, in eom -I,:tance with the Resolutions of a Committee of the Honour able the House of Commons. Resolved Unanimously—That this Court, in order to foci- 1 1 lltate the rnetsure 4 in the event of the Legislature deciding upon its expediency, proposed that the Funds. which may be necessary beyond what could be raised on the credit of the Heider, House Estates. should be raised by a continu ance of the Duties of 4s. per Too upon Wine, and 10d. per Cheldroa upon Coale, now payable by the Citizens of Lon- Con, and the Inhabitants of the adjoining Counties—a mea sure which appears to this Court to be the best that can be adopted, since it falls equally upon the Inhabitants of Lon ion and the adjoining Counties, and will not operate as a Tax for many vein to come; nor until the full enjoyment of the advantages to be derived from the proposed alterations will be obtained; and at a time when, it is hoped, a burthen of the extent suggested will be less felt than it would be at present; and this Court is strengthened in its opinion of the expediency of this mode of raising the Supplies by a Report of a Committee of the Honourable the House of Commons, made in the year 1812,, wherein it is stated, that " had the Grants of Money from the Orphans' Fund." to which the before. mentioned Duties are now payable, " been confined to the execution of great Public Works of equal utility and ornament to the Capital. it might perhaps he difficult to de ise a Fund, oat of which (when it should have discharged its prior obligations)," which it has since done, "such W. rks could with more propriety have been effected than tkis ; of which so large a portion is contributed by the In habitants themselves of the Metropolis, and the rest by the Coontieg immediately adjacent thereto. " Of this description are, in the opinion of your Commit tee, the great and useful work of the Bridge erected at Blackfriars; the purchase also of the Toils on London Bridge, thereby removing an inconvenience greater even than the burthen of the Toll, and with either of which it was highly Inexpedient that the access to the Metropolis of a great Commercial Country should be emb d. Such also are the improvements of widening the streets within the City, and opening new and more dignified, as well as more commodious approaches to it in every direction." Resolved Unanimously—That the Committee of the Ho nourable the House of Commons having rejected the means proposed by Lis Court for raising the necessary supplies for the approaches, and suggested that the Corporation ihould rroceed with the work, and apply to Parliament at a future time for a gran , from the Public Funds of the Coun try for the completion thereof, in the event of the Bridge Nouse Funds proving insufficient, ti.' p 06urt consgdering the magnitude of the work stated by MF Telford, CDR En gineer, to be one " which, from variousiodit circumstances, soli be found almost unparalleled for difficulty and risk," the uncertainty of the undertaking, with reference to the experiee• and the obtaining the necessary supplies, and tak• ing ea.perienee for its guide, is of opinion that it will be highly inexpedient for this Court to undertake the work upon the tenets suggested by the Committee. Resolved Unanimously—That this Court is willing to in definite the work, *id to apply the proceeds of the Bridge House Estates, to the extent of their capacity, towards the completion thereof, after reserving sufficient to defray the e..arges new existing upon the Estates, and the expences of management, stud to form a Sinking Fund ; but being cone' , vinced that they will prove insufficient, this Court has uni formly determined not to proceed until assured of ample Fund; from just and equitable sources ; anti the principle of providing the requisite means beyond the extent of the . Bridge House Funds has been already recognized by the Committee of the House of Commons, who, rrior to making the,. -ggestion shove-mentioned, held a conference with his ' Majesty's Ministers, and examined into the sources from which the same could be most conveniently raised Resolved Unanimously—That it be an instruction to the Committee for Letting the Bridge House Estates, to urge the introduction of clauses in the Bid, fur securing, from the source suggested by this Court, or by other just and equit able means, such full and adequatesupplles (to be resorted to in rase of need) as mny he necessary to defray the expence of the requisite approaohes, and all other attendant charges ; nod, in the'event of the Committee of the Mouse of Com e nouns refusing to allow the introduction of such clauses, it is ordeied, Pat the prosecution.of the said Bill. on behalf of this Court, be abandoned, and that it he an instruction to the Committee for Letting the Bridge House Estates, to watch the progress of the Bill, if it should then be further proceeded with, and take such measures as they shall see fit, to protect the interests of this Court, and the Citizen. of London at large ; and report from time to time to tnis Court. Resolved—That this Court cannot but express its concern, that the said Committee of the Honourable House of Com mons should have directed a chose to be prepared fir inser tion in the Rill. to compel this Court to erect a Bridge, agreeably to a plan selected by the said:Committee, and to employ particuter Individuals, named by them, to erect the same—a measure to which this Court cannot agree, consi dering it to he, in the highest degree, derogst. ry from the character of this Court, and prejudicial to the interests of tae Citizens of I. indoe. Resnived—That a Petition be presented to the Honour alife the House of Commons, praying to be heard by Coun sel, Agents, and Witnesses, mainst such parts of the Bill as rosy be prejedic,al to the Rights, interests, and Privileges alibis Comm.

BARIINCI said he bad a petition to present from an iodividnal who bad had rendered essential services to the country, without having received the reward to which be was so well entitled. The individual to whom he al luded was Dlr. M•A darn, by whose valuable exertions in improving the mode of making roads, the transmission of goods from one place to another was greatly facili tated—a circumstance of considerable importance in a commercial country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said i: was anderstood that this petition, from the nature of it, could not be presented without the consent of the Crown. He should not, however, oppose its receptition, though at the same time he could not pledged himself tJ bring forward any vote founded upon it in favour of Mr. M'Adam. Mr. CURWEN said there were many iodividua's whose services were as quite meritorious as those of Mr. M•Adam, yet they had received no remuueratioa whatever. Mr. MA BERLY supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. BROUGHAM wished to know whether all that Mr. 111•Adatn had done, and was doing at present, was en tirely gratuitous. (Cries of No, no) Then if Mr. M'Adarn did not act upon a principle of Kornis!' patriotism, and give his services gratuitously, it altered the case in tot , . As he was paid for his services, it would be for a Commit tee to see whether the sum he received was or was ncl sufficient. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that if a man chose to r ive gratuitous advice, be was not therefore to call upon the House for remuneration. Mr. D. GILBERT and Mr. H. SUMNER bore testi mony to the services of Mr. MAdam. Sir T. ACLAND said that Mr. M• Adam came before the House sanctioned by a vote of the Committee, re cognizing his plan as of the highest advantage to the public. Mr. H. G. BF.NNET thought that Sir Wm. Adams— (a laugh) he meant Mr. 'Adam—was amply repaid for his services. Alter a few words froin Lord LOWTHEH, the petition was read, and it prayed that the petitioner might receive some farther remeeeration for his services. On the tuition that the petition do lie on the table, Lord A. HAMILTON rose and complained that yes terday endea%ours were made to prevent there being a House when his motion respecting Scotch 13urghs was to have been brought forward. The Noble Lord went into some details to show that the faith of Ministers was pledged to allow him to bring on his notion yesterday. He could not, however, help thinking. that they intended to obstruct him in every respect, fur he had yesterday seen an agent of their's busily employed in dissuadiug Members from attending. The mode of redress which lie proposed to himself n as, on the first motion of Sul. ply to submit the resolutions which he intended to ham moved yesterday, and leave it to gentlemen opposite to discnss them or not, as they thought tit. Mr. Secretary CANNING said he rose to stare one Pr two tacts. He was unfortunately the cause, as the Noble Lord correctly sta•ed, of having the motion put off fruits the day on which it was the Notate Lord's intention to bring it under the consideration of the House. H e :vas then seriously indisposed. lie did, however, untlerstautt and so did his friends near hint, that the Noble Ltd was to have precedence of all outer motions yesterday. His Hight lion. Friend Dear him had even, when not many dap ago it was in contemplation to fix fir Tdesday the further inquiry into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dub lin, risen in Ins place, in the absence of the Noble Lord, and claimed Tuesday for him. For bimstlf he disclaimed all knowledge of any mancem:.e to get rid of the Noble Lord's motion by not making a lions'. 31r. BROUGHAM said that his Noble Friend was aware that courtesy to the House requited the renewal of his motion. He might, na doubt, have the remedy of proposing his resolutions when the House was g, ing into a Committee of Supply. He was satisfied %vitt' the explanation of the Right Hon. tient. He knew he could not be capable of any artifice ut that sort, but ha wished that a more direct and general disatowah had been given. • . • Mr. tiOULDURN said n , is tl N iat ot. t i o . fair,,lfitim,mhebrelinjecs!rusen ',,,: va f%p t 11:1, 10,114 be a !louse. 721 in rdcis:app‘ttilitefiere THE ONLY DIRECT COACH TO _ . _ CARLISLE.

The Earl of GROSVENOR presented • petition from Chester against the Insolvent Debtors' Act. His Lordship then called the attention of the Howse to the subject of a proposition lately made at Chester re lative to the Abolition of Slavery, and took that opportu nity of observing, that his wish on the subject was, that a general understanding might exist among all the Go vernments of Europe relative to Slavery. Whenever any slave put his foot on British ground, he became a free man front that moment ; and it was highly desirable to have it settled by negotiations, that a similar thing should happen in all other European countries. The Eul of DONOUGHMORE presented a petition from certain treasurers of counties in Ireland, praying to be indemnified a r Tainst the provisions of a Bill then before the House. The Noble Lord ob d, that be felt it necessary to notice a very extraordinary proceed ing in regard to this Bill. There was a certain clause in the Bill which had been reject-d by a Committee of the House of Commons, yet that very clause now ap peared in the engrossed copy which was before their Lordships' House. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that an encrossed copy of a Bill, coming from the other House of Parlia ment, must be considered as a more authentic copy than any Report of a Committee, and their Lordships were bound to consider it as the decision of the ogler House of Parliament. But if ;he Noble Lord had any doubt on the subject, he *night propose to send back the Bill to the other House, with a request that it might be re vised. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE said, that he would make a motion to that effect on the next stage of the MU. The Union Duties' Bill was committed.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WeoxEsnar.

Members, were it consistent with the rules of the House ; but as the toles of the House prevented. him from doing that, he would submit to the examination of any Hon Member who pleased to view the coat he wore, which he believed was as good a specimen of that manufacture as could be found ; or if the rules of the llnuse foiled this also, h.: would go out and remain in time lobby till every Member had examined it.-- (Much laughter.)—Tbe petition was then laid on the table. _ A petition was presented from the town of %Vare, pray. ing for a repeal of the Duty on Coals carried Coastwise, After a few words from Mr. Alderman WOJD, the petition was ordered to be printed.
