ACOMMON COUNCIL holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Thursday, the 19th day of November, 1846, Resolved unanimously—That this Court, deeply sensible of the general interests of the public, as well as of the particular prlitleges of this Corporation, desires to mark the high opinion it entertains of the excellent manner in which the Right Honourable John Johnson, the late Lord Mayor, maintained the honour and dignity of this city, and discharged the onerous and important duties of his elevated office during the past year. That this Court has observed with the highest satisfaction the direct and manly principle which invariably guided his conduct, his indefatigable assiduity in business, his independent vindication of the rights of the Corporation, the ready access he at all times afforded to those who had a just claim upon his time and atten tion, his upright administration of justice, his enlarged and liberal support of the charitable institutions of this city and of the metro polis, and his benevolence to all. This Court also desires to express its approval of his splendid hos pitality, which embraced within its sphere the dignities of the Church, the high functionaries of the law, the responsible advisers of the Crown, without reference to political bias, the ministers of foreign rations, and the representatives of the great mercantile interests, as well of the ancient guilds and municipal institutions of this city, and which was also extended to the various learned societies associated for the promotion of the arts, sciences, and literature which mark the present age. _ And particularly this Court desires to express its grateful recollec tion of the manner in which the essential rights of the Corporation were watched over and protected by the upright bearing, the cour teous demeanour, and the well-directed efforts of the late Lord Mayor; and this Court cannot but express an earnest hope that the measures so well commenced under his auspices may still receive his support for the general benefit of the public, the maintenance and increase of trade and commerce, and the prosperity of the City of London. 3IEREWETHER, BY PERMISSION.

Previous to the election of Mr. Prigg to be Mayor of Bury St. Edmund's, on Monday, the usual compliments were paid by his proposer and seconder as to his quali fications for the office. Captain Hubbard, however, .truck a discordant note, expressing himself as follows: He should he sorry (he said) to cast any reflection upon the Mayor proposed, whose private character was be yond reproach ; yet he felt bound to pass his.opinion on a person who was not capable of fulfilling the duties of the office with efficiency. He did not refer to the edu , cation of the gentleman proposed, but bis objection ap plied to his impediment of speegh. A Voice—" Wretched taste." They had heard the magistrates of the town men tioned—a body of the most respectable and honourable men in the town—and he would ask if any of those ma gistrates could sit under a man who, in speaking, either rendered himself ridiculous or inflicted pain. He him self could say it must be a most painful thing to hear that gentleman deliver a judgment in any case. He offered no opposition to Mr. Prigg, because of his abili ties, because he had understood that Mr. Prigg had himself asked, " Why a tailor should not possess abili ties as well as any one else?"—(Laughter.)—But he (Captain Hubbard) would ask in return, if possessed of abilities equal to taking the duties of first magistrate of the borough, why . a tailor?—(Laughter and interrup tion).—He opposed Mr. Prigg because of his natural defect. It was very true, perhaps, Mr. Prigg was a good tradesman, but a man of dignity was required, with merits not only reflecting upon himself, but upon the town also. If he had been asked the last man of the council he should choose for Mayor, he should have an swered Mr. Prigg, in consequence of his defect of speech. A Voice—" Horrid, horrid." Mr. PRIG., in returning thanks for his election, re marked that he was sorry in some respects that he had been put forward, since it had caused some observation to fall which could not be pleasurable. Some remarks had fallen from one who would never be satisfied unless he had the entire control. With respect to what had fallen from Captain Hubbard about his (the Mayor's) opinion of the abilities of tailors, he might simply ob serve that he had never said any thing of the kind; and Captain Hubbard had never heard it, and he would defy him to produce any witnesses who ever heard such words fall from his lips. It was a story of Captain Hubbard's own m ake.— (Lang h ter.) TUE EVERY .014E•roa-mmsELF PRINCIPLE.—No, certainly, it was not to attain the ignoble and immoral, every one for himself, that so many great men, holy martyrs of thought, have shed from epoch to epoch, from century to century, their souls' tears, the sweat and blood of their bodies. Beings of devotedness and love, they laboured and suffered for something higher than the individual, for that humanity which ought to be the object of all our efforts, and to which we are all responsible. Before a generation which scorned or persecuted them, they calmly uttered their prophetic thoughts ; with an eye fixed on the horizon of future times, speaking to that collective being which ever lives, which ever learns, and in which the divine idea is pro gressively realised, for that city of the human race, which alone, by the association of all intellects, of all loves, of all forces, can accomplish the providential design that presided over our birth here below. We are all pledged to one another. We all live for others ; the individual for his family, the family for its country, the country for humanity. We all seek the law of our life, and with us (as in all that exists), the law of the individual is found only in the species. We are all climbing a pyramid, whose base embraces the earth, and whose point rises towards God : the ascent is slow and painful, and we can accomplish it only by entwining all our hands, by aiding ourselves with our united strength, by closing our ranks, like the Macedonian phalanx, when any of us fall exhausted by fatigue.—People's Journal TRICKS OF A JACKDAW. A few days ago, a carriage arrived at Gilstrap's Hotel, Newark, for the night. On the following morning, prior to starting, a jackdaw belonging to the hotel resolved to convert the same into an observatory. He was driven off, but John having taken a liking to the carriage, or bent upon having an excursion, found a hiding-place on the under works of the carriage; he remained unobserved, and on arriving the following morning at the Red Lion Hotel, Worksop, was recognised by the servant accompanying the carriage, and by him and the hostler at the Red Lion was driven off. He immediately mounted a " fly" in the yard, and in a very amusing and commanding manner called out for the " Boots." He was packed up in a hamper and sent back to his old quarters at Newark, and appeared to be much gratified on his return.—Derby shire Courier.

Oh ! my name it is John Bull, with my waistcoat all so full, And my pockets all so heavy with the rhino ; With my cattle and my crops, and my merchandise and shops, I am better off than any man that I know. Yes; I'm better off than any man that I know, Much better off than any man that I know; Though I say it, that should not, such possessions I have got, That I'm better off than any man that I know. I have warehouses and docks, I have bridges, I have locks, Quite unrivall'd in their plan and execution; And I build the very best of private dwellings 'tis confest, But I cannot build a public institution. No ; I fail at a public institution, Always stick at a public institution ; My invention is so dull, that I always make a mull, When I build any public institution. If with me you fain would try, Oh ye foreigners ! to vie At a tunnel er a steam-engine—have at you! To construct a man-of-war I'm the best of hands, by far, But hang me if I can make a statue ! No, drat it ! I can't make a statue ! Confound it ! I can't make a statue ! Though I try with all my might, I can never do it right— Botheration ! I can't make a statue I IMPORTANT DECISION. EFFECT OF THE POTATO-ROT ON THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANTS. A most important decision has just been given in the Justice of Peace Court, Dundee, in respect to the liability of tenants for rent in case of their possessions being ravaged by the potato-rot. It has long been an under stood point in the law of Scotland, that where a farm is reduced to utter sterility by a storm, inundation, or other extraordinary calamity, no rent can be exacted. It also appears to be firmly settled, that although the damage be only partial, yet, if it be permanent, the tenant is en titled to renounce the lease, unless a deduction is allowed from the tack•duty. But in a case more likely to occur than either of these, where the damage, though great, is neither total nor permanent, there has been considerable dubiety among authorities. Erskine lays it down, that the rule of the Roman law is adopted in our own, by which no rent is due " if inundation, the calamity ot war, the corruption of the air, or the inclemency of the weather, by earthquakes, lightnings, &c., hath brought upon the crop, damages plusquam talerabile ;" that is t( say, more than can be borne. The same high authority states, that though it is not exactly defined what will amount to such damage, it is the common opinion that rent is due if the produce of the crop exceed the expense of the seed and tillage. Mr. Bell, however, states gene rally, that if the damage be not permanent, but only temporary or occasional, it will not entitle the tenant to relief. But he allows that the decisions go further thar this, and adds that, as the tenant takes the risk of the seasons, it must at least be some extraordinary event that will justify such a decision." The case to which we now refer, has, to the extent of its authority, settled the point according to Erskine, and we are inclined t , • think that it is quite in accordance with the tenor of the law of Scot)and, and will be followed in other courts. It will be fond under our Forfarshire bead. The defenders whose cases depended on it, were sub-tenants holding potato patches from farmers, and about fifty in number. The Justice, on the authority of the dictum laid down in Erskine, allowed a proof of the almost total failure of the crop ; and on evidences being led to that effect, assoil zied all the defenders, with the exception of one whose crop had been taken up early and in good condition. We are disposed to think that this decision is not only according to law, but also according to equity ; and w, may be allowed to express a hope that landlords will neither incur nor cause legal expenses, by having identi cal cases tried in other courts. It is, of course, hard that they should lose their rent ; but as it is simply a portion of the produce, it cannot be exacted where then is no produce to divide. It is one of the worst features of Irish landlordism, that it is attempted to direct the ma chinery of law upon poor squatters who had not a potato to eat, and whose lives have been preserved only by British charity.—Edinburgh Weekly Register. RULE IN SEAMANSHIP. The f.llowing notice was received here on Saturday last, by a gentleman in our neighboprhood, enclosed in letter - from his Excellency Colonel Raid, C. 8., latt Governor of the Bermudas, now Governor of Barba does, &c., author of the " Theory of Storms." It has been kindly handed to us for insertion in our paper, and we readily give it a place, as it may be of essential ser vice to seamen sailing from our port : Every rule applicable to ships which have become in volved in storms is admirable. Captain Andrews, corn wander of the royal mail steamer Medway, on leaving Bermuda for England on the 23d Sept., 1846, suggested the following By keeping the wind on the starboard quarter, when in a revolving storm in the northern hemisphere, ships gradually sail from the storm's centre ; and by keeping the wind on the port quarter, when in the southern hemisphere, ships sail gradually from the centre of a re volving storm. This rule applies to three quarters of the storm's cir de. But there is always one quadrant in a progressive whirlwind storm, more dangerous than the ocher three, being that over which the storm's centre passes in its progress ; and there would be danger in applying the rule with a ship in this quadrant. Within the tropics, whilst the course of storms tend, towards the west, the quadrant of greatest danger will be on the west sides. But these quadrants will gradu ally change their position as the storms recurve; and in high latitudes, as the course of the storms become east erly so will these quadrants of greatest danger come to be on the east side of the storm. In order to know which is the quadrant of greatest danger, the theor y must be studied until it is understood. An example of Captain Andrews' rule for the southern hemisphere was practised by Captain Moorsom, Royal Navy, when commanding the Andromache frigate at Mauritius, in 1826, and is the more remarkable because it was executed by, Captain Moorsom, before the theory of storms was understood. Leaving her Majesty's ship Ariadne,_ in Port Louis Harb our , at t h e wish of her commander, Captain Moorsom put to sea in the An - dromache with the wind at S.E., veering to S.S.E., pre determined to steer without regard to the compass, and to keep the wind as it veered, always upon the larboard or port quarter. He had come to this decision fram at tentively studying the logbooks of ships which had en countered hurricanes in the neighbourhood of Mauritius, and observed that the wind veered there in a uniform manner. By steering as described, Captain Moorsom .radually carried his f r i ga t e away from the centre of the storm,'' until he had gained its opposite side, and mode rate weather. Then, having the wind at N.B. veering to E.N.E., he brought his ship upon the starboard tack, in order to return to Mauritius, which port she reached un injured. By comparing extracts from the two log-books, it appears that the Ariadne, in Port Louis harbour, was in the centre of the hurricane, and had the storm very severely; whilst the Andromache, by putting to sea, and being so steered so as to keep the wind on the port quarter, had comparatively moderate weather.— Dundee Courier.

HOP IN T ELLIG EN C E.—WORC ESTER, NOV. 17. The declaration of the hop-duty last wet-k seems to have had a different effect on the market-to-day than what was expected ; for, not only is it firm, but prices of the best samples are absolutely a little higher than last Saturday, and all sorts scarce, and in good demand ; and from the general tone of the market there is every prospect of better prices being obtained next week. There was not a single load of hops brought to market to-day, and the few weighed 'were most of them those left unsold last market-day.—Weighed on Satu r d ay , new, 159 ; durin g th e wee k , newox old 12 W 9r cester Journal. (From the Northern Whig.) As numerous inquiries have lately been made, re specting the preparation of starch from Indian corn, some account of its manufacture may be interesting. It resembles, in its principal details, the plan which was, several years age, proposed by Mr. Jones, for - the preparation •of starch from rice. The first operation is the preparation of a weak solu tion of caustic soda (soda ash), containing about ' two hundred grains of real alkali to the gallon of water. I may mention, that soda ash is at pre sent manufactured by Messrs. Ritchie, at the Belfast Chemical Works, from whom information, respecting the amount of real alkali contained in their samples, may Ile procured. The Indian corn is placed is a vessel . of tinned iron, an d th e a lk a li ne so l ut i on, i n t h e yropor tion of fifty gallons of liquid to every one hundred pounds of corn, poured upon it. It is allowed to steep for twenty-four hours ; and, after that, the liquid is run off and the corn well washed, by repeated applicat i on of cold . water, and pl ace d on perforated trays or sieve . , to dran. When properly was h e d , and the water drained off, it is ground t o fl our between mil stones, and is again steeped in a solution of soda, of the same stteugth as that before employed, in the proportion of 100 pounds ,f meal to 100 gallons of the solution. This mixture of meal and ley is allowed to remain together for 24 hours, and repeatedly agitated. It is next allowed to renceini rest for about 70 hours, so that the starch may settle town to the bottom of the vessel, after which the supernatant liquid is poured off. The mat ter which has been deposited is then stirred up with a large quantity of pure water ,; and the mixturt-? of starch, husks, &c., is thrown u on a fine silk sieve, through which the starch runs into a wooden vat, where it deposits itself. If the starch has not been sufficiently separated from the impurities, the washing and straining is repeated ; after which, it is collected and dried, in the usual manner practised in farina manufactories. There is also another process, which may he follow d, to separate the starch from Indian corn, in which a mix ture of muriatic acid (sp'rits of salts) and water is Eub stituted for the alkaline solution, as a solvent for the gluten, &c., of the grain. The operations are conducted in a precisely similar manner to those which I have just described. It may be necessary, for the information of some persons, to mention, that the starch procured fruit) Indian corn is identical in its properties with potftto farina. JOHN F.

CLERK of THE OXFORD CIRCITIT..—The late Mr. John Bellamy, who had filled the office of Clerk of Assize on the Oxford Circuit for more than half a century, and who died on Friday last, at the advanced tge of 81, had travelled 120 circuits. The appointment 'sat the disposal of the Lord Chief Justice of the Com mon Pleas, Sir Thomas Wilde, in his capacity of senior Judge of the Circuit ; and the Worcester Chronicle states, that it is expected that one of the Learned Knight's sons, in all probability Mr. Claude Wilde, barrister-at law, will be nominated to the vacant office. MADAGASCAR.—A letter has been lately received from Madagascar viii Bourbon, by a commercial house much interested in the opening of our trade with that country, from Captain Gevint, of the Ariel, dated from Sainte Marie. He announces, that on his arrival at Tamatave, where he hail directed his vessel to make another effort to obtain the merchandise which belonged to him, and had been in embargo for more than a year, he communicated with the Flovas, and informed them that the intention of the French Government was not to make war on them. They appeared much satisfied with this information, and recommended him to write to the Queen, as she alone could authorise the delivery of his merchandise. He therefore wrote to the Queen at mirne, and sent the letter on the 18th of June, leaving Tama- , tave for Sainte Marie, and intending to return 20 days afterwards for an answer. The time which has expired -ince then leads us to suppose that he has not succeeded, and that the answer of Queen Ranavalo has not been ravourable to his demand. We trust this supposition will prove incorrect. —Mauritian, July 31.

SOLOMON OUTDONE.—At New Orleans, says the Picayune, a prisoner was tried on a charge of entering a house in the night-time, and committing a robbery. He had made an opening into which he thrust the upper part of his body ; and then he clutched the articles which t►e coveted. His Counsel contended that the prisoner lid not "enter the house ;" he only partly entered it. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty against the upper alf of hia bo , iy, and acquitted the remainder (or, ag. Jonathan would say, the " balance.") The Judge then sentenced the guilty moiety of the man to a year's im prisonment ; leaving it to his option to have the innocent half cut off, or take it along with him.

HORRIRLE ATTEMPT OF A FATHER TO MURDER CHILD.—A week or two ago, a circumstance which excited considerable interest and indignation occurred it West Bromwich ; but fur the ends of justice it was considered proper that the matter should be kept as quiet as possible. These considerations are now, however, removed, by the apprehension of the offender. It appears that some time ago a man named Isaac Davies, a miner, married a widow, to one of whose children, by a former husband, he appeared to have a violent anti pathy. On the 20th ult., his wife had gone out in the evening, leaving her husband, the child, and a young man in the house. After sitting for some time, Davies said he would take the child up stairs and put him to bed ; but the young man having a presentiment of some injury to the lad from his father's apparent dislike to him, requested him to allow the child to remain in the kitchen till his mother came home. Davies piqued at the young man's suspicion, ordered him out of the house, at the same time taking the child in his arms up stairs with him. The young man, however, although he left the house, remained a t t h e d oor, and shortly after, hear ing the child scream in a fearful manner, he got the issistance of a female neighbour, and again entered the house. Davies, hearing some one come in, came down stairs, hurriedly, in an excited state, and having his shirt sleeves covered with blood. In answer to the in quiries of the young mar, he stated that the child had fallen out of bed and hurt himself. This, however, did not satisfy them ; an d on exam i n i ng the child, it was found with its mouth full of blood, and nearly, choked. The brutal fellow had introduced some hard substance or other into the child's co ,uth, and endeavoured to choke him by forcing it down his throat, in the attempt severely lacerating the flesh. Davies immediately ab sconded ; but a warrant having been issued for his ap prehension, in about ten days he was taken into cus tody. Meanwhile the child continued in a very danger __ ous'state. Davies was brought before the magistrates (the Earl of Dartmouth and J. E. Piercy, Esq ,) at Elandsworth, on Saturday last ; but in consequence of its having been stated by Mr. J. 0. Deswitt, surgeon, c f West Bromwich, that the child could not be consider( d out of danger, the case was still further remanded.-- Birmingham Journal The Charante Inferieure has the following respect ing the unfa.ir conduct of a priest in abducting two young girls from their parents, and placing them in n convent .—"Numerous inhabitants of Pont l'AbEd hnNe written to us, and have affixed their signatures to the letter, in which they advance some very serious charges against the Cuts of the Commune. We are not fond of scandal, but we like still less the meddling of priests in the private affairs of families, and we consider his influence detestable when it hi carried to the length of severing the afkctions Of chi:dren and their parents. We do not, therefore, hesitate to publish the unhappy effects of that influence ; and the ex posure of it will prove, we trust, the means o i t ib r i ei venting its repetition. The Curs of r the m n pu ti t i - s g thhavi called La itsakeehnatrwgeOlyouwn'i pose of forcing them to Thisenter a convent, Pro vidence, at Saintes. amongst the inhabitants of the femalesn having from in theirj less parentsth f extraordinary sensation double event has produced .n town, and has, m oreover, been the means of exeiting such a transport of passion in the mother of one of the girls, as to force her to outrage the sanctity of the church, which was made the scene of an exhibition which is truly lamentable. Last Sunday, during the celebration of vespers, this unhappy woman came with a wild countenance to the church, and openly de manded of the priest in language of passionate despair the child she had lost through his deceptive and abomi nable agency. These terms are much weaker than those actually made use of by this unfortunana woman, who, if she bad badly selected the place for uttering them, may well make tne of others, still stronger, to express , her feelings on so painful an event. The Curs hastened to free himself from her imprecations, and, while several persons present re strained the woman's violence, he escaped from the church. The crowd, however, excited by witnessing the extreme grief of the mother —too deep even to preserve her respect due to the house of God, and his minister—and being aware of the facts of the case, ex pressed its indignation for the auth, r of them. Now, say our correspondents, behold the dilemma from which the Cure cannot eseane. He either has mis deeds of the gravest kind to reproach himself with, in inveigling two young t,irls away from their parents, and therefore merits punishment; or else this afflicted mother has unjustly reproached him, and has raised scandal in the church, which nothing can justify, and'for which she is, of course, liable to punishment. But these events, which have carried griet and affliction unto the bosom of families are too true; an entire population has witnessed them too closely not to be &Noy concerned for all interested. It is this population, in fact, that stances comes forward to attest the truth of the circti.n here mentioned." CH
