TH4NKS TO THt LORD MAYOR'S CHAPLAIN. .Mr. NAsst moved that the thanks of the Court be gives to the Rev. John James Corry, for his sermon, reegthed In St. Paul's, on the 11th of Jan. inst. Mr. Dixon thought that the mover was hound in reason to tell them at least the teat from which the osnmon had been preached. WAITIIIIAN had no doubt that the sermon wee an excellent one, but no Alderman had been present to hear it. Therefore, although the sermon deserted thanks, the Net. Gentleman could not con sider the thanks of the Court worth any thing, both becaose.they were the thanks of those who knew nothing of the sermon, and because they had been often given for sermons that sore not entitled to that honour. The Court ought also to reflect that their funds were now very low ; and to enquire tyke. thee, in that siteation, it was proper to lay out 2001. or 3001. a year for ammonses to attend sermons, and for the expenee of printing them. In the present instance there had been no summonses, and, there fore, the sermon could not be said to hare been preached before that Corporation. Seventeen or eighteen years ago, when Alderman Comhe made a motion similar to the present, it was agreed, that before thanks could' he voted the , bermon mast be printed. These remarks he made, not in opliciAtioit to the motion, but its order to show the acerbity of some general regulation on the subject .—(/ leer, Mr. GltteelTllS objected that they had not‘been summoned to hear the sermon, and that no mats could vote thanks for a sermon which he bad neither heard nor read. After some further observations had hewn made on the sohjeet, by the Lord Mayor, Mr. Dame, Mr. Waithman, and Mr. Dairies, the motion was put. • Mr. Gnirrunts insisted that the word thanks be left out.— (A laugh was really paying a corn. pliment to the preacher.—( Laughter.)—it was doing bim an honi.ur to insist upon knowing the merits of the sermon before thanks were given. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the objection most reason. able: he would not attach his religious, any more than his political, opinions to the sleeve of another. He would not therefore vote upon another's so thority. Mr. Dixon, the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Dast4, recommended the withdrawing of the motion, which was accordingly done • and Mr. Griffiths' amend. went, that the sermon h e printed, was put. Mr. Dump' thought this, too, should be with. drawn. The Worthy Gentleman behind him (Mr. Griffith.) had long enjoyed a monopoly of the trade of moving thanks. When another ventured to enter into the same line of bosiness--(a laugh)—be ob jected, because the sermon had not beet' printed. The amendment was then agreed to. DISTRESSEO SEAMEN._ _ _ Mr. lusts Cactow stated, that the Report of the Committee on this interesting subject was not ready to be presented, and gave notice that it should be presented nest Court-day. • FELLOWSHIP PORTERS. Mr. WArrumAu said, that he presented a Petition from a very respectable class of citizens. The Fellow ship Porters complained that they paid one penny oat of every shilling they earned for certain leases belonging to the Company ; that this contribution amounted to 5,0001. a year, but that they derived from these looses only 3.281.• i the rest of the money was appropriated by their Li nters under various pre tences. From tisii abuse they now prayed In be re lieved. He moved that the 'Petition be referred to some Committee. It was agreed that it should be referred to the Committee for General Purposes. IRISH SOCIETY. Mr. SLADE, from the Irish Society, was heiird in in respect to some orders of the Court'for that Society to deliver in a brief statement of their.occounts an nually, and upon which they bad taken the opinion of Counsel, when several Members objecting to any proceeding being had upon a verbal communication, the usual and regular practice being only to receive documents in writing, no motion was grounded thereon. STATE OF THE CITY PRISONS. Mr. WAITIIMAN said, that it bad appeared to his, to be important to draw the attention of the Coin to the subject of the present state of the City Prisons,.l with a view of obtaining some of that iutormatioo. l which it had been hoped the differeet Committees, to 1 whom it had been referred, would have furnished be fore this time.. Having read the valuable publica tion of Mr. Bennett, be was induced to ask whether any Report,. was to be expected, as If he were to un derstand the tseptive, he should bring forward some motion to this effect on the nest Court-day. • After some conversation with regard . to the citron,- stances which bad retarded the production of the lte. port, it was moved by Mr. WAITIIIKAN, and Quaid, that the Committee of Impovemonts be directectto report to the Court their proceedings with lewd to the New Prison in Whitecruss-street, an account of the expeoes attending it, with the present state and condition of the Prison. A similar Resolution was then. passed, requiring information from the Committee of City rands as to the present condition of Newgste. Some conversation afterwards took place relative to the suspension of the table and entertainment, usually enjoyed by the Lord Mayor's officers ittil at.; tendants, at the Old Bailey, during the Sessions, which it was generally agreed ought to be restored, and charged to the espenceof the Chief Magistrate, who was so liberally enabled to support the dignity of his office. The loan MAYOR declared the vacancy of one of the Marshalmen by the death of Mr. Daniel Cork : Wright, and it was referred to the Committee for Ge neral Purposes to consider its respect of the age and if the candidates. We have to announce each of Mr. Hanwell, of Chancery-lau a red that he went on Wednesday therms° on a visit of condo lence to a friend at Newington Betts, and on his re too, about nine o'clock, ire passing Use Magdalen Asylum, in Blackfriars-roads he dropped down and instantly mired. ~. . - SCHOOL RTII.EAST DISTRICT SOCIRTE . • Yesterdara Public Meeting was hem at the City of London Tavern, for the formation, in the North east District s ...C.oe Metropolis, of. a-School Society, on the Plan of the British-and Foreign- School Insti tution; his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex in the Chair, supported by .the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Noswieu;asToirsa Llama, Esq. M.P.and several other distinguished characters. His Royal Highest., on taking the Chair, said, that his presence in it that day showed the interest he felt in their object, as be laboured under an Wins position, which, were not the call so strong, would have compelled him to remain at borne.---(Applause.) Mr. WiLikt.cet opened th• business or the day. On the sebject of education, be said, there was now but one opinion, and the only consideration fortu nately was, how that opinion could be best promoted. He then etplaiwed the more immediate business of the present Meeting, which was to form a complete survey of the North.east District of London, and establish therein a school or schools, on the British and Fo. reign Plan. Ile-forcibly urged the necessity of en. desvouring, as much as possible, to identify the poorer classes themselves in the undertaking, and take from them whatever trivial pecuniary assistance they could atoll. He eptered much at large into ;he present flourishing siluatimi of * the parent Institetion, of which he was - Treaserer, and the greet dissemination of education it had caused all over the world. In Ire. land it was proceedieg rapidly ; in France it was spreading every where through the efforts of the Go •vernment of that counts) , ; in Spain, where their ex pectatioes were not sanguine, something was yet doing. Prince Esterhaty, the Duke of Sate-Weimar, and other Princes, had taken a lively interest in RS progress in Germany. In the East and West Indies, the same happy prospect bad bven opened. In America, here hitherto it was only known by books, its in. hence was felt so strongly, that the most encourag ing prospects were held oat for practical instructors to settle in that continent. In Africa it was also es. tending ; and in the Settlement of Sierra Leone, more than 1,000 14.1 now been instructed. From Chris. tophe, at Hayti, the most flattering communication had been received through- his Minister, Count Limo .natle, who had received ass instructor for their schools from this country, who in his letter expressed the anxiety of Isis master, " for the propagation of human knowledge, leaving every person fie* to serve the Al mighty in his o.in manner."—(Grcut appltrusc.)—lle hoped, that, whatever Orally existed between this Society and the National one, as a rivalry to do good—though he thought they had to complain of the efforts of some mess, from the Episcopacy down to the Churchwarden, who had used unworthy efforts on the 'occasion; even parochial bounty was, he knew, denied to some of the poor who would not send their 'children to the National Schools. The-Worthy Gen tlemen concluded by paying a just tribute to the ef , forts of the Dukes of Kent and Sussex, who, as well as t their Ro)al Father, bad been the steady friends of this Invitation in its struggling days, and by pro. posmg a Resolution for the formatiou of the new 4oCal Rogiety. -• - MY.; Ervato• seconded this motion in an eloquent speech. - The Rev. 11. F. BERNA un,in proposing the second Resolution, enforced the necessity of active exertions in furtherance of the interests of the New Install. tiou. Iu this be was seconded by the Reverend Mr. HARPER. The Lord Bishop of Nonwicit rose, and was re. ceived with loud and reiterated applause. He said, that he rose with peculiar satisfaction to make the motion which had been just put into his hand, and when he stated to the Meeting that it was intended to convey an acknowledgment to their Hoye' High. nesses the Hakes of Kent and Susses for their ct 0 . stint support of public benevolence, he wps sure they would agree to it with the same satisfaction he felt at submitting it to their approbation.—(Grcat applause.)—Before he sat down, he would trouble the Meeting with a few words on the business of the day. It had been very properly said, that there was now no necessity of dwelling on the object of the Meeting, with a view to inculcate into any males mind the necessity of a general diffusion of education opposition to such all opinion had now bap. pity ceased. In looking at this subject, be could conceal the deep feeling of regret he had felt at pe. *rasing, a day or two ago, in one of the Peblic Prints, an account of the state of Newgati, 'hawing the alarming prevalence of juvenile depravity, w here four children were in irons, mud under sentence of death, one of them not more than nine years of age. This was a fact calling for the immediate attention of all good men—lhe evil called for the application of an immediate remedy, and he knew of none bet the spreading of the Institution then before, them — he knew of no other way but by the careful and ac tive Or that h dispetal else tr 'etas no , ject a of Penns , Some than to the infant odeateit. awes' eel by most them That to reform vernmeots had been Government Meat - pains of theii referrt so man that la brought in that country, that proper sabordioatioa was in- i ' fused into *the minds of the People, and seek would . be always found the result of a universal system of . education. An allusion hod been made to the Bond System of Education, which was ermined, to those of the Eatablished Church. In looking . st that Institution, and at the British and Foreigner... be would mot scruple this day, in the face yt the Pub• lie, to avow his decided preference to the latter (Great *Awe) —arid to assert iti better claim to . 4besppellatios of National than the one which bad it, however meritorioes were its objects. He begged to be unequivocally understood as appredatingl the merits of the National System, and of being ready' Ws de all in bis power to promote it; but, at the same' . time, be would not conceal his preform* fuelifie system, betaete it bed nothieg of 'edition la late 'plan or character.—(iipplause.)--.He ardently whited' piesperity to both, and to the one he "mild sejeil whoa it spoke of the other," Go, thou, and do lift& wise."—(Applarse.)—They had' the gresteit ibitcr4. * easement from Royal patronage, particularly eerrill that of their Royal Chairman and MI Royal lirottres‘ who were the snbject of the Resolution be held in' his hand, and whose universal attention te every use ful and charitable Institution, had been long melt deeply acknowledged by every well-thinking beisir is this enlightened netropolit.--(Greuf ripplause.), , GEORGE Mrs°, E4q.

His Hon. Friend near hi m (M re Byng), had just said, that he thoogbt the lower clasSes of society in this country were more vicitiet than the same class ekewhere. This, his Royal Highness would deny. Ile was indeed free to admit that here there was • more numerous list of cried.. oats; but the reason of it was, that here the Ism takes cilia:ante of a far greater -portion of minor offences than tho laws of other States resider penal— end in this alone the difference consisted.—it was the policy of this country honestly to expos* a crimp. oral, while in others they concealed them.—(4p plause.)—As to the cause of education. he was saw. led it must universally triumph ; and, said his Royal Highness, in conclusion, " it shrill triumph, arid ti,;‘ is the only arbitrary word I shall ever use."—(Greta Anduuse.) . ..1 The Rev. ItowLAmO lIILL rose to move. she Thanks of the Meeting to the Marquis of Tavistock. It had been well said, that where educetion prevailed, Sobriety and industry flourished---where it was not found, barbarism blackened the surface of society, if that could be called 'index where every matt resigned himself to his own passions and depraved appetites. As to the state of crime in this country., heow&laid wet say much—though he could hardly' avoLl touch. ing open a measure which had agitated. ceollictieg politicians, he meant the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. If this was intended by Ministers as a means of removing the evils of the coutitiy,. 01 be would say its answer was, that the espediesit appear. e 1 as rational as to burn London to exterminate tho bugs.—( Loud laughter.) --het the People, he would say, be educated, and then the few Ignorant dema gogues that lay at the bottom of society mey.rove about unnoticed and forgotten. Indeed, in poiut of personal convenience, the Government Ought t o dor& • little more to the education of Me People ; for it would save theme great deal ;of the trouble they are obliged to take, if they assisted effectively in promoting the general diffusion of knowledge, and then, b e a n, withloto govern the blessing m iheofseles.

Frederick 'lndian., Rector of J)ennington, against the assessment for the relief of the poor of that perish. The principal ground of ap peal was the sum for which the Appellant stood rated for his tithes, and a farm late in the occupation of Mrs. Barker ; for the former he was assessed at 4991. and for the latter at the rate of 16s. sd. per acre. It was contended by Mr. Serjeant BEST, who was specially retained for the Respondents, that the Ap pellant was fairly rated for the tithes in proportion to the lands in the parish, as it would be proved that they were both worth 1,1001. per annum, and that the whole land in the parish was assessed at full half its value. Several eminent Land-sorveyors were examined by Mr. STORIES and Mr. Cociexa, Counsel for the Ap pellant„who stated, that in valuing tithes, they al ways calculated them in the proportion of one-fifth of the value of the land if arable, and one-sixth if pasture; and taking the calculation in this way, the Appellant ought to be rated at 3811. instead of 4991.7 Mr. Serjeant BEST very ably replied to the case at. tempted, to be made out by the Appellant, and ani snativerietl, on the mode in which his witnesses endea voured to establish the proportion of assessment be teem tithes and land, mid insisted that no general rile could he maintained as to that point, as each Me must depend upon its . own peculiar circum stances. The COURT, after mature deliberation, confirmed the rate, as t' as respected the assessment for tithes, and amended as to that for the ferns late Barker's, by reducing payment to 11s. per acre. 1 fans copied the whole day.

I.—" A report has within a few days been in circulation of the most diabolical outrages having been committed in Algierp, and par. titularly, that all Christians and Jens nice compet-ii led to turn Moors : but this report, I am happy to find, is false. By letters received from thence, ten days old, it seems that there had been a plan to de pogo the Dey ; but he having retired to the Alcassava with his faithful adherents, and removed there all the treasure, be has set his opponents at defiance; and after some °Utiles, were killed, the head of the party who intended to set up a new Dey, fled." Oionerice—Letters have been received by the London Missionary Societe, stating, that idolatry is completely abolished in Otaheite and Eimeo, and in • considerable degree in other islands erljacent.— The King, Powsne, has sent all his family idols to the Missionaries, desiring them either to destroy them or send them to. Europe, that the People of England may see whit " foolish goda" they formerly woe. shipped. REMUNERATION TOE GREAT PVIILIC SERVICE: —A Correspondent says—" The eight Inspectors of the Property Tax, appointed at a salary of six hundred pounds per annum, but who boasted that, from the very handsome allowance of Government for their travelling expences, it was a good thousand, have now retired (that tax having ceased) on a pension of four hundred pounds a year each!! The official duties of these Gentlemen terfered bat very little with their ether vocations, only taking a pleasant journey, two, or at most three times a ,year, and those liberally' defrayed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. As these men were appointed in Mr. Pirt's Adinistin ration, should this tax be again imposed the present Ministers will of coarse put in their own Mende, and consequently to the 10001. a year for the new Inspectors, 4001. most be added for each of the Old eight Sinecorists !
