A public meeting for the promotion of the Con fraternity of St. Peter was held in St. James's-hall last night. The hall, and galleries were crowded. Archbishop Manning took the chair, and was re ceived with enthusiastic cheering. Amongst those present were Earl Denbigh, Sir G. Bowyer, M.P., Marchioness of Lothian, Marchioness of London derry, Lady Fitzgerald, Lady Chichester, Countess Buchan, Countess Torre Diaz, Lady Herbert of Lea, Lord Arundel, Mr. Pope Hennessy, and large num bers of the Catholic clergy. Letters of sympathy were read from Lord Petre, Mr. Langdale, Lord E. Howard, and Sir R. Gerrard. Archbishop MANNING in opening the proceedings explained that this was the second meeting of the confraternity, and that it was purely a diocesan meeting. He then said that as on previous occasions he had had the happiness of expressing his opinions of the great conflict in which the Sovereign Pontiff was engaged, he should now confine himself to another point. He did so only. for the purpose of caution, and for the purpose of putting on record before public opinion the real issue at stake. They had not met to make demonstrations about temporal possessions es matters of intrinsic worth, as things to be contended for, as acres, pro vinces, or land, cities or towns, revenues or treasu ries. These earthly things were of the l earth earthy, and had their importance only by their relations to higher and greater things. There was nothing that had been more assiduously laboured for by those who were adversaries to the temporal power of the sovereign Pontiff than to represent th a t C a th o li cs made the spiritual office of the church dependent upon the temporal or secular, and that they were engaged in a worldly contest about worldly ambition and avarice. He hoped to put on record a protest against both of those errors, and that not so much in his own words as in the words of the sovereign Pon tiff himself, in his late allocution. His Holiness there said that when the Roman empire was over thrown and divided into many kingdoms, it was de creed the Roman Pontiff should possess a civil princedom, whereby he, being subject to no other civil power, should exercise in all freedom his su preme authority and jurisdiction over the universal Church, iu order that the faithful, in all tranquillity of conscience, might obey the decrees of the Pontiff, without fear of the will or influence of any civil power : that in the present state of the world this civil power was necessary for the full protection and vindication of the liberty of . the Roman Pontiff in feeding the universal flock, which liberty was abso lutely bound up with the liberty of the whole Church (loud cheering)—and that though they might be deprived of almost all human hope, yet fully aware of their duty, and altogether confiding in the help of God Almighty, they were ready to contend without fear for the cause of the Church divinely committed to them by Chridt, even to the risk of life itself, and, if needfUl, to go forth to any part of the world where they might better exercise the apostolic office. (Loud cheers.) He (Archbishop Manning) learnt from that allocution that in the judgment of the sovereign Pontiff, the temporal power, as it was called, was of great price as a protection to the liberty of the Church ; that the liberty of the Church was a condition of its purity ; and that Divine Providence had secured the purity of the church in doctrine, in discipline, and in juris diction, by liberating its head from subjection to all civil powers. (Loud cheers.) There never was a time when the sovereign Pontiffs were subject to any civil superior. The sovereign Pontiff was clothed with his prerogatives when the pagan world ceased and the Christian world cathelnto existence, and there never hair been 6liristian prince who had ventured to call the Vicar of Jesus Christ his sub ject. (Enthusiastic cheering.) There had been pagan emperors, and heretical emperors, and schis matical emperors, and infidel princes, who had ven tured to claim the superiority of a sovereign over the Vicar of Jesus Christ; but a Christian prince (meaning a Catholiaprince) never in the history of the Christian world. The Pontiffs protected this liberty in the early ages by martyrdom, and Divine Providence had prot ec t e d i t i n l a t er ages by a dis position of Divine w i s d om w hi c h n o legislator or statesman could improve. He begged once again to repeat that the temporal power consisted in the liberation of the person of the sovereign Pontiff from all civil subjection; in the absolute freedom with which he exercised his supreme control over all powers that were subject to the Christian law; and that the purity of the church depended upon that liberty. For proof of this let any one contrast the purity and perpetuity o f th e R om an Church, in its doctrine and discipli ne, with the Church in Con stantinople that bec ame sc hi sma ti ca l and heretical, and was in the end gi ven over t o the bondage of the Mahommedan antichrist. He might come nearer home, and say that 300 years ago the experiment of exchanging the sovereign Pontiff for a royal head was made, with a result we knew well. (Cheers.) The real question of the temporal power was— should the head over the universal Church on earth be a temporal prince, or should he be the Vicar of Jesus Christ ? (Loud c h eers. ) Cast out the Sove reign Pontiff and they had a universal royal supre macy. He, therefore, appealed to every man in Scotland, and to every man whose ancestors threw off the royal supremacy three hundred years ago, that they might establish a headship of Christ —he appealed doubly to the Free Kirk, that threw over the Erastianism of the Establishment that had no royal supremacy —be appleaded to the Dissenters of England, who were one-half of the population of this country—he appealed to the Church Establish ment itself, penetrated as it was with the sense that its bondage was the royal supremacy—(cheers)— he appealed to the hundreds and thousands of edu cated clergymen and laymen of the Established Church, who, jealous of its purity, rejected the su premacy of a civil power in matters of religion—he said to all these, " You are bound to sympathise with us when we say we shall never become the subject of a civil power." (Loud cheers.) He mar velled day by day when he read, in the newspapers of a country more jealous in its boast of the liberty of conscience and the liberty of religion than any other, the scorn, con tem p t, and preternatural ani mosity that poured out upon th e h ea d o f th e sovereign r.iff. was After all thes e y ears o f con fli c t, there was now o n the one side th e power o f th e ont. world, armed men, armed legions, the sympathy of nations, and all that the world could collect either of might or menace, and on the other side an old man with a silvery head, unarmed, isolated, and defenceless. Daring all these years there had not been one who had ever called down a benediction on him, or spoken one word of sympathy at his ma jestic attitude of inflexible courage. (Loud and long cheering.) Pius IX. recalled to him words an Englishman should never forget No man cried God bless him, No joyful tongue gave him his welcome home ; But dust was thrown upon his sacred head ; Which with such gentle sorrow he shook off, His face still combating with tears and smiles, The badges of his grief and patience, That had not God for some strong purpose steel'd The hearts of men, they must perforce have melted, And barbarism itself have pitied him. (Loud cheers.) But let them remember the next words : _ _ te s Gopel, not unto death But heaven bath a hand in these events ; and e a on flvisiblet his conflict was like but that the Son of Go d mi ght be glorified thereby. thcicw heand read tloifer in e wlai. l's He would read a passage, which came before him the other day, in the confidential correspondence of the First Napoleon. It was a letter written from Paris by the President of the Executive Directory. It was datql, after the manner of that unpitying barbarism, " 15 Pluviose, sth year," which to our untutored Christian ears must be translated the 3d of February, 1797. The letter was addressed to the General-in-Chief Buonaparte, from Reuben, President of the Directory, and it said : ln directing its attention to the obstacles which oppose the consolidation of the French Constitution, the Executive Directory believes that the Roman religion (le cults Romaiiz) is that of which the enemies of liberty may for a long time , Make the most dangerous use. You, Citizen-General, are too much accustomed to reflection not to have perceived as well as we that the Roman. religion will always be the irreconcilable enemy of the Republic, in the first place by its essence, and, in the second place, because its partizans and its Ministers will never forgive the Republic the blows it has struck at the fortune and the credit of the former and the prejudices and habits of the others. There are, doubtless, means which may be used within itself to destroy insensibly its influence, whether by legislative Acts, or in stitutions which would efface the ancient impressions and substitute new more in harmony with the actual order of things, and more confornied to reason and to sound mo rality. It is for the Government to discover these means but one point not less essential for arriving at the end de sired would be to destroy, if possible, the centre of Roman unity; and it is foryou who hitherto have known how to unite the most distinguished qualities of a general to those of an enlightened politician, to realise this desire, if you judge it to be practicable. The Executive Directory, therefore, in vites you to do all that shall seem to be possible (without in any way compromising the safety of your army, or de priving yourself of the resources you may obtain for its maintenance and for the service of the Republic, and with out rekindling, instead of extinguishing, in Italy the torch of fanaticism) to destroy the • Government of the Pope whether by placing Rome under another Power, or, which would be still better, by establishing there a form-of internal. Government which should render contemptible and odious the government of priests, so that the Pope and the Sacred College could not any longer cherish the hope of residing in Rome, and should be obliged to go and seek asylum in some place, be it where it may, where, at least, it would no longer have any temporal power." A fable it was then, and a fable it would be to the end of the world. But the republic of 1848 made reparation for the republic of '97. It was - republican France, in the fullest liberty of its expression, that through one of its most illustrious philosophic statesmen drew the despatch by which she acted in her ancient mission as protector of the Holy See. There was before them the same conflict now ; the antagonists differed only in name. One who was in close contact with those who held high office in this country once told him that a Prime Minister of England had said, " De stroy the temporal power, and the spiritual power will soon go." (Laughter.) The gentleman an swered, "Not so fast; if there were left but three Capuchin monks in the world, two of them would elect the third for Pope." (Loud cheers.) He could perfectly understand why the temporal power of the Pope was assailed. It was for the same reason that a skilful general attacked first the outworks of the fortress. These assaults were made with the inten tion of reaching the centre of Roman unity. Not 48 hours had passed since the vault of the hall in which they were assembled had echoed with sounds of volcanoes, and lava, and sulphurous smoke, and upheavings--(laughter).—and there was not a coun try in Europe which was not at this moment threat ened more or less by intestine movements that might easily become revolutionary. (Cheers.) The revolution on which men had so long complacently and superciliously looked in Italy, which they had fostered, and fanned, and encouraged, like thestorms that wheeled upon a pivot, might in its circuit en close those who watched it, and react upon them selves. And what he wished to say was that this was not the time for men to be cutting asunder the tie -liams of Christian civilisation, still less for them to pull up the root-tree of Christendom. (Cheers.) It has been said that the Popes did not hold Rome by any claim of sovereignty accepte I by the Rolnan people, and not by any custom. How then had they held it? For 300 years they held it by martyrdom, for 600 years by conflict and confessor ship, and for the last 900 years they had held it as sovereigns. Almighty God, by a singular act of his own Providence, had so disposed it that, unariiied as the Pontiffs had been, with no power whatsoever to cope with the dynasties around, utterly and en tirely unable to resist armed invasion, they hal con tinued their career independent of all and vassal to none ; but, respected by the sense of justice of the Christian church, protected by the public law of Christendom and by the veneration in which Chris tian men held the vicar of our Divine Redeemer— this had been their title to the see, and no man could take it from them without violating the Providence of God. (Loud cheers.) The members of the Ca tholic Church were engaged in a great conflict, and might for a time be at a disadvantage, but the issue was sure, come what might. If the Sovereign Pon tiff left the city of Rome, he did not make a leap in the dark in the wide world ; 45 Pontiffs had been driven out of Rome, or had never set their foot in it, and if it happened to the 46th they would neither be amazed nor afraid. To shift the - centre of Chris tendom from the centre of Roman unity would carry disorder into every Christian land. If there were Christian statesmen in Europe, or if without being Christian there were enlightened statesmen, they would never suffer that calamity to reach their own homes. The cause in which they were engaged then was one the justice of which was a luminous cer tainty excluding all doubt, and the Divine promises of success were such that when the empires and kingdoms now in conflict with the Vicar of Christ were swept away, there was no room for fear that, in whatever state he might be of poverty or perse cution, peace and veneration would still reign calm and supreme, and he would triumph over the ene mies of Him against whom the gates of hell could not prevail. (Loud cheers.) Lord DENBIGH moved the first resolution, which, he said, embodied the best instincts of his heart : " That filial attachment and fidelity to the person and office of the . Sovereign Pontiff Pius IX. is a duty of every member of the Catholic Church, and an obligation arising from the first principles of the faith." How, his lordship asked, could it be other wise when every dutiful son felt the desire to draw near to his father in the hour of bis adversity ? However serious the position of the Pope might be, there was no need for fear ; the Holy Pontiff knew who was his Master, and he would be ready like his prototype to face every difficulty, and, if required, to walk upon the waters of the troubled sea. He urged those Catholics to beware who, like birds fouling their own nest, for the sake of fleeting popularity, and a temporary name for Liberalism, joined in, or heard unopposed, the cuckoo cry, " Down with the temporal power of the Pope." Every true Catholic should determine to cleave to the Holy Father through evil and good report, and not to be afraid of what the world would say, for the Holy Father was the servant of One who said, " I have overcome the world." Let it not be said this was a time of humiliation for the Holy Pontiff. Never had holy Pontiff been in a grander position. Though surrounded by friends, and amidst dangers of every kind, he stood like a beacon, pointing out to others the danger in which they stood. The Pope never stood in a prouder position than when last year in the face of all his troubles and obstacles he issued that grand encyclical condemning his enemies. (Loud cheers.) Mr. 11. MATTUEWS seconded the motion, and, in the course of a lengthy speech, spoke of Garibaldi as " an adventurer in a red shirt, who was treated as a hero, instead of a high misdemeanant," and re ferred to the Emperor of the Fre nch as a modern Tiberius, a wearer of a crown, who did 11 . 0 t hesi tate to write anonymous pamphlets, a man of dark designs, the most skilful conspirator in the world, and a man who was likely to go down to posterity as the Pontius Pilate of the Papacy. Lord. ARUNDEL of WARDOUR spoke in supportof the motion, and said he was quite sure of the barque of St. Peter, but he was not so ceTtain of the crew. In dwelling upon th e many predictions of the fall of the Pope coming true, he said the present aspect of affairs might end in what would be like another fall of Babylon, in which case " we shall look back from the dead level of democracy - and misery upon the glories of the past." _ The resolution was carried with acclamation, the chiefs, and cheeArillngELovblolleigoif,Eletyrio:u.n as vociferously. whole audie nce r i s i ng , wav i ng h a t s an d h an dk er anow powerful u s h l Catholic ;and bad great pleasure in moving the following resolu tion j " ° l ll ' N ha e t this s con straining upon the hearts of Catholics throughout the world at all times, when our Holy Father, after a pontificate of 20 years, in perpetual and inflexible conflict with anti-social and anti-Christian revolu tion, stands alone without human aid in the midst of those who, by violence and intrigue, are labour.. ing to destroy the temporal sovereignty, by which the liberty and the safety of his person and of his office have been, by the evident providence of God, secured for the welfare of the Universal Church." He believed that at the moment when all help seemed to fail the Pope he would be protected by Him whose arm never failed. In Italy we bad a State which had recently contributed to history the defeats of Custozza and Lissa, which could not ne gotiate a loan, and which had its prisons full of political prisoners —conditions on which men of the world did not build their notions of the stability of States. It was an ordinary incident in the history, of the Church to find a Pope gone into exile, and-no Catholic could be thereby discomfited in the sense the word supposed. It was said that in the vicinity of this city an aged man lay sick unto death. Tie could only hope that Joseph Mazzini might live to repent of his ways. Ilis writings showed that the great object of the revolution in desiring Rome - was to establish a new religion, which showed that it was the spiritual power of the Pope which was aimed at. The temporal power had been a mere pretext through which to strike at the religious union of Christendom. (Applause.) The Rev. Father GALWAY, in seconding the re solution, said that they firmly believed that the Pope would come triumphant out of the storm — (loud cheers)—and this confidence was a source of danger. He stated that strained efforts were being made to make the Catholics of Italy immoral be cause it was necessary to make a Catholic a bad man before you could detach him from the Holy Father. The Pope was suffering for each indivi dual Catholic. He was the leader of the sacred band of Christian paupers, reduced to his present position for the edification of the Church. He was suffering for the unity and the entirety of their faith. The present division of Protestants in Eng land showed what were the consequences of separa tion from unity. Recently at the door of a High Church a gentleman asked the sexton how things were going on. The reply was, "We are in the midst of a great struggle ; we have got white vest ments and red, and we hope soon to have green ones." (Laughter.) None felt more than the Anglicans the value of the Papacy. They were in the position of the man who had a present of a pound of tea, with direcions for its preparation, and who poured the boiling water upon it, and then ate the leaves. He had only the written text ; he had no living voice. (Loudclieers and laughter.) Imagine a Puseyite clergyman having a present of vestments, he would not know what to do with them but for the Papacy. Accordingly those clergymen went into the nearest Catholic chapel, studied the matter, and then copied what they saw as far as they dare in their own churches. Catholics must make haste, or they woul.l be outrun in the race by the Anglicans. They had churches, vestments, and devotions like those of the Catholics—almost every thing but the confraternity of St. Peter, which alone did and must distinguish the Catholics. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried with the most enthu siastic demonstrations. Sir. G. Bow LP. moved the third resolution as follows :---" That the confraternity of St. Peter, having for its object to diffuse sound principles in respect to the rights and prerogatives of the Vicar of our Lord, to promote prayers for his safety, and finally to make offerings for the maintenance of his person and dignity, has an hurerative claim on the zealous and eflici, - ,nt co-operation of all Catholics." He denounced as worthless the book favourably reviewed in the Times that morning, ridiculed the pretensions that reforms were required in Rome, and declared upon his own authority that Rome was well governed. Justice was cheaply and well ad ministqed. Sir John Rolt had publicly testified to the learning of the Roman lawyers. Some of Sir Robert Peel's financial reforms were copied from Rome. Its Government was cheap; its Prime Dlinister had £5OO a year ; the whole court cost £1,500 a year. The Roman Government would stand a comparison with any other Government of the World. If it had a fault it was that it was too mild. The people were not interfered with. The poor bad more individual liberty than they had in London ; and the security was as great as that of Loudon. Murders and serious crimes were rare. Yet such stories as the correspondent of the Times being robbed of his watch were told as evidence of insecurity. Without the Pope Rome would be like Windsor without the Castle. The Holy See was under the protection of God ; it could not be over tehnreomwiens; w t o h u e ld Po b p e e d w ef o e u at ld ed r ; et b n i a tt in hu at ra ß an om m e e , au a s nd m h u i sst not be neglected by anyone The resolution was seconded by Father KERRY, and also carried by acclamation. A vote of thanks to the Archbishop terminated the proceedings about 11 o'clock. FLOGGING GAROTTERS. —In accordance with the sentence passed upon them at the last sessions of the Cen tral Criminal Court, several members of the garotting fra ternity underwent the discipline of the cat-o'-nine-tails yesterday at Newgate in the presence of the sheriffs, the under-sheriffs, the governor, and other officials. Mr. Gib son, the surgeon, was also in attendance. The first who were brought were Henry Wilson and Charles Everett, who were convicted of a robbery, with other pers f ons , ray ac companied by violence, in the neighbourhood oG Inn-lane.

War.KF.E ON THE PETTICOAT QUESTION.-- " How I did wish that I could wear a short dress !" said Dr. Walker, in tho course of a retrospective view of her medical career at the Lyceum where she took her de gree. And this fervent asp iration was continuall y re peated as she advanced from stage to stage in her profes sional course. The long skirts were for over in her way. how could she operate, how dissect, how wish in and out of the inevitable brougham and rush round the corner to a patient in a hurry, with a crinoline and train impeding the freedom of her movements? When she was a little girl, under 14 years of age, she wore short petticoats, awl was happy. Men wore no petticoats at all, and were happy. Dr.•Walkor was very strong indeed upon this petticoat question. - She said in so many words : "Long dresses are killing women :" she did not say how ; but she asserted the fact, and a chilling silence followed the remark. Per haps the different members of the audience were speculat ing as to how the ;extra breadths did their full work, and in what manner the coup de grace was finally inflicted. Perhaps they were summing up in their minds the number of octogenarian spinsters of their acquaintance, on whom the noxious influences of voluminous drapery had failed hitherto to take effect. Thare saemed to be a general feel ing that some explanation was desirable, but none was forthcoming. The lecturer was busy with the practical side of her subject. She discoursed on the various lengths, or rather shortnessas,of skirt which were reconcilable with the principles of physiology and hygiene, and went into many abstruse speculations as to the fitness or unfitness of white pantalettes for female medical wean—Die/anis "rill the rear Round, ."

The CONTROLLER (Ifr. Brand) stated, in reply to D3puty Burnell, that the arrangement was contingent on the sanc tion of Parliament ; that the purchase-money would, under an Act of Parliament, be raised on the Bridge-house estates, and that in the event of Parliament not sanctioning ity the agreement would bo entirely void. The agreement was then formally sealed, and now only awaits the approval of Parliament, an application to which will be made in the forthcoming session, at the cost of the Corporation. THE CITY AND THE METROPOLITAN BOARD. _ _ __ Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR called the marked attention of the Court to the enormous increase during the last ten years in the aggregate amount to which the City of London had been called to contribute to the Metropolitan Board. In 1865-6, ho said, the city contributed to the Main Drainage Rate £17,638, and to the ordinary expenses of the Board £13,680, making together £31,318. For the year 1866-7 it had had to pay, or world have to pay, in respect of the Main Drainage Rate, £26,374, and of the ordinary expenses of the Board about £26,000, or together £52,374. (Cries of " Shame.") He added that the attention of the Secre tary of State had been called to the inequality of rating between the city and the county. That inequality was due in great measure to the power of re-assessment, which in the city had been exercised from year to year, but in the county only abut once in four or five years. THE HOLBORN VALLEY 'VIADUCT. Deputy FRY, the chairman of the Improvement Com mittee, presented a report submitting for adoption the de sign selected by the committee for the bridge across Far ringdon-road. He explained that the length of the bridge would be 116 ft. ; that the bridge would be of three arches, with a clear width of footway on each side of 17ft. sin., and with a clear width of carriage-way of 46ft. in the centre arch ; and that the height of the footway in the centre, would be 17ft. 3in. ; of the carriage-way in the centre arch 20ft. 9in. ; and of the carriage-way on each side, 15ft. Gin. The viaduct, he added, would be ornamented with polished granite, red and grey, and would be altogether a handsome massive structure. Ho explained, in reply to Deputy Farrar, who took exception to the side carriage -ways as being too low by six inches for some description of street traffic, that the design could be altered in that respect., to obviate the objection. The design was approved by the Court, and the report of the committee ageeed to and referred back to them for execution. M. THE LOCK. x. RAPIDITY OF FIRE.

Mr. HEATH called attention to the extreme inconvenience caused by overcrowding at the recent banquet at Guildhall on Lord Mayor's-day, and moved that in future it would be desirable to issue a less number of invitations. He was proceeding to read a letter adarePsed to him by a gentle man from his club, describing the scene of confusion on the occasion, but' ho was called to order, and he then explained that his simple object in referring to the subject was that those who lead the management on those occasions might In future make such arrangements as to prevent cause for complaint. by rot whether it OCm. Lord Mofsyt makingho re The motion gave rise to a long conversation. Tly Alder man Copeland and Mr. Cox, the late member of Parliament for Finsbury, it was contended that as the entertainment was given by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, the Common Council, who were merely guest e, hail nothing to do with the matter, and had no right to interfere as to the arrange ments. Mr. Heath stated that the Guildhall could only conveniently accommodate 1,029 persons at dinner, but on the last occasion there were 1,164 guests and no wonder there was confusion. Mr. R. P. Taylor referred to the uproar, banging of doors, and singing which took .place at the lower end of the hall after the dinner, a to nd ass t u h m e e impossibilitye th on e s h ecl ig u h en a t nd part of the hall any of the speeches. Mr. M , George important officeo f hearing o f s hoteinenwrtni f fol uis i tl n istdlheoe t onu h uolt a al.ta t thought it extraordinary that gentlemen who were called at the very outset have to contribute .£750 each towards the cost of the entertainment. He suggested that the arrangements should be under the control of the Common Council in future, through a committee of their own body, and not be left as now in the hands of a committee who w hcoa e in r i e s, not necessarily members of the Corporation, and could therefore have no sympathy with it. He moved an amend ment to the effect that whereas improved arrangements might be made in reference to the annual banquet at Guild iidterbethreefseurbr j e e d ot to an th a e t G o e i n ori er o a i l re P w u t tt and Sheriffs, and that a special he be e paid expedient by th that Corporationa tt h e ex pen expense rather the entertainment a c mu n hil : I m o.

He asked, amid cheers, whether the time had not come when, instead of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs bearing the expense and giving the invitations, this should be a Corporation entertainment. Deputy Farrar, referring to a recent discussion on the same subject in the Court of Aldermen, took occasion to say that in his opinion the Remembrancer had been unfairly dealt with, and that he had no power of himself to issue a single ticket, nor had he assumed to exercise any such power. ets Mr between themselves. the members ni a n n e y nt t C ic o k i t t h te e ecliairnlanand appropriated Eonf the d ut h e o r w many .Deputy SNELLING, the chairman;roplied that the com mittee did not issue any extra tickets to the dinner.

On the motion of Deputy OBBARD the Court voted tho sum of £5OO in aid of tho fund arising from the gifts of per sons on their admission to the freedom of the city annu ally distributed by the Chamberlain on St. Thomas's day to the poor widows of freemen. A VACANT OFFICER. In the course of the sitting the Court was asked to make a temporary arrangement with respect to the office of Clork of the Chamber at Guildhall, which had become vacant by the death of Mr. John Sewell. It appeared that Mr. Sewell died suddenly on Sunday last, and that the Lord Mayor, after communicating with the Chamberlain, and in order that the business of the office might not be suspended, had appointed the Sword-bearer (a brother of the deceased) to perform the duties for the few days intervening before the meeting of the Common Council and no longer. 17:ester day M r . 11.

A memorandum, he said, was placed Mora him by the S word-- bmrer appointing the latter until the Court met, and 110 signed it, but that was simply to extend up to that Any, and he (the Lord Mayor) had no wish to interfore in tLo permanent appointment. The Court appeared perfectly satisfied with that explana tion, and, on the motion of Alderman GIBBONS, who said the duties of the office were not onerous, appointed the assistant-clerk to discharge them until an appointment was made. The Court, after transacting some other bus4ntis bf little public interest, adjourned. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols. K . I By the Aut G hor of 8 " Son F and He o ir." It 1).
