A COMMON COUNCIL, holden In the (*YAMMER of the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON on MONDAY, the Suth Day of July, MI, R ESOLVE 9, THAT, upon the most mature consideration of the Documents and Evidence addeced before the Commit• tee of the Honourable the House of Commons, appointed to enquire into the state of London Bridge, it appears to this Court, that in case the Starlings are, by common attention, kept in proper repair, the foundation and superstructure of the Bridge are so secure that they will last for ages. That the only Complaints made against the Bridge arise , from the obstruction it occasions to the Nasigetloa of the -River. which would * a very great degree be remedied, by removing the wheels and machinery belongi ug to the Water Works, and opening the Water Ways under the Arches, which have been dammed or stopped up, in pursuance of the tet of Parliament of the filth (leo. 11. Cap. 40, to give force to the water wheels. The consequence or effect of this mea sure would be. to reduce the fall of water under the Bridp so as materially to lessen the danger of lives and property t .' occasioned by the present destructive mode of giving motive power to the water wheels. That the doubtful and important question, whether there.: mo% al of the dam. occasioned by the Bridge, would or Wield not rause such en influx °fluster as to overflow and serloualy injure the property on the banks of Ilse Ricer ; and such a reflux as to render parts of the River, at stated periods, iaa great degree 11111111Iiirable. would thereby be decided by Se ttle' and incontestable proof. That it is in the highest degree expedient, in a work of such immense magnitude. to proceed's) progressive practised experiment ; and in case the removal of the w at-els and sp.' paratns belonging to the Water Works, and opening the Water Wit)* tinder the Arches, shall hat e no injurious effect on the Navigation, then to convert two small Itches into one, or four into two, ns may appear to be necessary or de sirable ; and which mode of enlarging the Water Ways all the witnesses, who have been examined to this feet (except one,) deem amply suMcient for rendering the Navigation safe and commodious, That should no practical detriment arise to the Navigation (ions the above proceeding. it will be desirable to complete the plots recommended by Mr. Dance, and by others, in the year 1814, by substituting four large for eight of the present small %relies, u hich a ill reduce the fall of wafer at London Bridge from five feet to three only, and the expense whereof is estimated at the sum of 114.0 but if the ex pense shoidd greatly exceed that ativssint the Bridge House hands are fully neripisto to ilischasge it. 'Chit lite erectinn of a N:sw lir:d4c with an Arch. as re commended by tile Surveyor=, 14 feet 3 inches higher than the present Crete: A relt. and wills an acclivity of one foot in 13(beiug steeper titan Ludgate-hill) would occasion greater danger a n d incuovenienc to the transit over, than is now sus tained ity the passage under. the Bridge; and it is the opi nion of this ('ourt that if a New Bridge were erected, the ac clivity should not be more than 1 foot in 3.1, which, with p (*cutter Arch of the height proposed, would oecasion the de struction of property at each mid of the Bridge be as mous amount. That the expense of erecting a !few Brkleo. I 5 recom mended by the Surveyors. luding a temporary 11 ooden Bridge (the possibility of constructing whirls. contiguoits to the present Bridge. of sufficient strength to %Ippon the traffic shove. and resist tlte pressure of the ice ludo:v, is extremely doubtful)and including the vaineof [louses to betaken down. smonnts to nearly VS0031001; lint when it is consitli•rrd how link Estimates of this description are to be depended upon. this Court cannot but contemplate the completion rat such New Bridge, and approaches. including contin gent expenses, at a sum very considerable iwyond that amount, and if the proper acclivity of 1 foot in 3.3 he made. and tier consequent approaches formed, the Estimate can scarcely be calculated. That the proceeds of the Bridge House Estates brine in sufficient to defray so large an expense, the imposi , ion. di rectly or indirectly, or taxes upon the Puddle will be inevit able : hut those proceeds, by proper care and management. wool,' at no very distant period of time. be sufficient to erect a New Bridge. with approaches. worthy of a great Nation. and an (sentiment to toe City oi London. when the serious due bts now entertained on t h e effect wine'. tuereinot al of Dam might hare upon the navigation slis II have been I...mov ed by thepractical experience which the proposed alterations would afford. 'Chat. tinder all the circumstances. this Court is ennfirmeri in its opinion declared to:: the 11th of Ipril List. thst it is more evOodient to adopt the plan beforedetaited than toerect a New Bridge. Th.tt this Court is anxious only to offer such reasonable opposition to the erection of a Nea Pr d-;e, as its dully to Vie Citizens of London may revire being unwiditsg to impede a full considet allots of the sobieet in the enstilag Session of Parliament, this ('ourt refers it to , tile ConsaisithN flir letting the Bridge Douse Estates to min Ai the proper notices, to be git mond to take such otleir steps, preparatbity to the execution of siteli a plan as may flitatty be approval of. ns may he necessary to comply with the Stand* Oruers of 1 1, rliament.

DAvv, one of the Petitioners who attended helnw the liar, addressed the Court in support of the Petition. Atter some rilhervations on thJ Petition by Wool, (who treated it as an trit2,ott ctatemeit, wh piked to have no wei.rht with the t ',sort), Mr. It;xon, Mr. Fa yell, and several other Meus'aers, Mr. Oldham loosed that the Petition should lie on the and that the adjourned debate should now he re f lite debate was wvened by btr.

Mr. l'Avi.ott was decidedly of opinion that London bridge was sufficiently stable to last for centuries and he would have the venerable fabric presurved even as a thing of taste or a relic of antiquity, and as a mu:summit of the skill of the priests of the 13:14 crutitry. Mr. Alderman ti vit:Are, as the Alderman of the Wart of liridg.e, which was the one nu sinly concerned in the project, and as tbe Chairman of a Committee ap pointed to w:stels the procerdings struts the matter in C.

Mr. Aldermen VENANLII was of opinion that widen ing the arches would answer every purpose. Mr. Depti:y I.II:CAR said, that property had been lost during the last 40 years, in consequence of the strne• tore of the bridge, which worth' have paid twice over for its brine rebuilt. 11r:ivas decidedly of ot'inioth ..7,4t as C.,evar!ings ererit'o be retained in :he i.rop•ised E SEVEN PENCE. half measure, hut littlegoOd would be done by it, ss much of the damage and risk in going through the bridge would remain. lie was, therefore, in favont of a new briirge. Mr. (hz.LowAy was convinced that the water-way might be so materially widened as to answer all the purposes to be required from a new bridge. Mr. CALTHORPS supported the amended motion. Mr. Jury was for the repair of the present bridge. even if such repairs were not to last more than 20 or 314 years. Mr. DARNFORD RIB persuaded of the stability of the bridge. Mr. Otnitax wad of opinion, that if the House of Commons were determined upon a new bridge, the City Funds should be given up to them, and that, with the disposal of them, the whole responsibility should be given. By the removal of the dam which the pre sent bridge formed, more damage might be done in one night, and more property destroyed, than would build six new bridges ; but by the measure which lie supported, every thing would be done step by step, with the power of first trying the experiment before they put it in full executiou. Mr. Alderman Wool, pledged himself that the in terest of the money to be raised to blind a new might be paid from the funds of the Bridge Mingo Estate ; and also that from these funds the princiiial itself would be paid in thirty-years. Tlie City .if London, lie said, would derive immense benefits from the erection of a new bridge; and that in consepi-ei of the measure, the wharfs above the bridge mot : I have ten times the business they now had, and th,. saving in e.irtage would he immense.

STEPHENS v. BROADEN. - TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. Str.—The reliance which is justly plAred on Ilia impartiality of the public press. sanctions me in t!t.? hope that, when, through its means, au tujit‘ticeVte lime been done to an individual. the sante source ti; ill be open to his justification ; in the case, enti;leil a.* aItOVP, a report of which appeared in your Pape: if Frilty last, a strong impression has been made to th ? prejudice of the defendant; it is hardly necessary t • remind you, I believe, mainly through the ingen:oi;• and eloquent appeal of Counsel, and not from any pl. sitive fact which was adduced in evidence before the Juiv. It may lie said, that the defendant's legal .11.1- • viser might have rendered nt.gatory the powerful effect of tit it appea', by calling a witness to disprove its ag gravated features ; this is tree, and the means for so 11.4t 1 4- %%ere fully in Isis possession. Th ahe did apt do most be ascribed to what he conceived to be a prop r exercise d discretion ; the result, however, Is is proved that he might have adopted a m )re eligiirle course, and with a view to do itoparial justice, I feel myself called upon, and I am the only witness who Wa., present at the assault, to state correctly the fact, as they oc, urreil, and to add, that I was then, and it:II now, prepared to swear to their truth. I am per:nude 1 the value which you must attach to the reputAtion of a fellow•ritizett, smarting und.er an implttat• of bra es ity which is alto ether (*.reign to Isis nature, i 1 iu.l tier you to insert the fol:owing statement of titAt wiliest I could h ire proved, hail I beet, called : First, Then; Sir, I conlil have sworn that the assault wls nut the roll-Vow lel, premeditated, planned thing • h.cls Mr. Phillips described iu his opening speech, Lett that it took place within three quarters of an hour from the. time the 11, fend.cit was hi:Lamed of the slander, of •rhich lu had been the victim. Secondly, '1 hat when the defendant charted plaintif +vith having called hilts an informer at a public meeting, lie did not Inert it with a direct denial, but began to gl tutu an explanation of the rircninstance. Thirdly, That the plaintiff received only three or fo.te blows from the thin part of the whip, which is a com mon chaise-whip made of lance wood (and far from A t. 4ek our), and which was previously broken and tiel • nth string, and that the cut of the. head was o+0:1 produced by the stick breaking in a sharp splinter+, I way. Fourthly, That the bret-end of the whip was nevi used at all, and this part I consider very important to 1 + • made known, to do away !be idea of that brutality existed only in the brief of Mr. Phillips. Fifthly, That the affray altogether did not last half minate. and that the blood on Mr. Stephen's face was not seen until after the assault was over, and the slant defendant saw It, be expressed his concern, and of fered him water and towel, with a private room to wash himself, which the paintiff accepted. Sistlily, That the plaintiff received no apparent I-1. jury, but the cut ou his bead, and that the coach wis tonicared fur him against his own inclination and awl it was with a good deal of Persuasion that he agree to step into it ; and also, meresy because, as bis necli cloth teas bin he would have appeared particular in the street, noel:et:muse he -was unable to waik honer. Seventtify; That 11r.
