By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta gehns than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced-age, •r, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of fbrfelture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample•resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. .The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving car secure through this Society.

His brother constables having expressed a wish to be present at the mournful cere mony, all those not immediately engaged on duty, amounting to n e a r ly 200 , followed in procession after the chief mourners, who consisted of the relatives of the de ceased, and Mr. Bishop, the proprietor of the Clarendon Tavern. The mournful procession was conducted by Mr. Superintendent Russell and Inspectors Beckerson and Simons. A vast assemblage of persons followed. who expressed their sympathy at the melancholy and untimely fate of the deceased. A paragraph has gone the circuit of the daily press, announcing the intended erection of a bridge over the ornamental water in St. James's park. We have male inquiry, and have ascertained that there is no foundation whatever for the statement. The want of a direct com munication between the northern and the southern parts of Westminster has long been subject of complaint, and it has at length been decided to place a boat on the water at a point near the St. James's and the Queen's ;quare entrances to the enclosure, by which foot passen gers will be enabled, with the aid of an experienced waterman, to pass from one side to the other at all times of the day.

TIMES.—The execution of Count Louis Batthy any, by sentence of Marshal Haynau's court-martial at Pesti:, cannot fail to produce a most painful im pression wherever the affecting details of his last moments are known ; and it is to be feared that this act of extreme severety has been accompanied by a still more sanguinary and indiscriminating punish ment of the Hungarian chiefs at Arad. Such acts can be endurable only to those who hare sought to identify the name of Austria with the most cruel and revolting forms of despotism, and they are singularly discouraging to those friends of the Imperia Government who had hoped that the forbearance and elemency so lately shown to Venice and Comorn were to he the basis of the restoration of the Emperor's authority in Hun gary. This feeling has already been powerfully ex pressed in Vienna even by the leading Ministerial journal of that place. The Austrian Cabinet may not be personally responsible for these executions, which have taken place under the full powers confided to Raynau ; but, as they invested him with those powers, they were bound to provide for the use he might make of them in capital cases, and not to allow their policy towards Hungary to be sullied by the atrocities of a Bloody Assiae or a Butcher Cumberland. The intelligence and the humanity of our age are alike opposed to the policy which followed the battles of Sedgetnoor and of Culloden, and the infliction of the extreme penalties of the law for political offences requires the sanction, not of mere military authority, or even of the forms of justice, but of public opinion. Louis Batthyany has been the Ney of Hungary, and his death, which only avoided the last ignominy of the gibbet by his own desperate attempt at self-de struction, throws a darker shade over the last page of his country's history than all the calamities of the war. He may have incurred the last penalty of the law ; he may even have deserved to suffer, especially if his misguided efforts for the inde pendence of his country were aggrarated by the deli berate treason to the Sovereign whom he served, and by any guilty participation in the horrors committed in Vienna on that day whose bloody anniversary was solemnized by his own doom. But it was the duty and it was the interest of the Austrian Government to proceed against him with all the formalities of the law and all the guarantees of a public trial. To put men to death because they have withstood a Government and fallen into the hands of its Janissaries, is Turkish and inhuman. In such a case as this, the mortal enemies of the victim still reeking from the battle field become the judges and executioners of their prisoner. But, if such fearful penalties are to be inflicted (and we are not prepared to say they are never to be inflicted for the highest offences of treason and rebellion), they must he awarded, not by political rancour, not by martial authority, but by the solemn judgment of the law, restrained by its own sacred vocation, guided by the rules of evidence, and sanctioned by proof. If the Imperial Govern ment had in its possession the means of supporting such capital charges against Count Batthyany, it might have proceeded, in the face of the empire and of Europe, to convict and condemn the author of the Hungarian rebellion and the instigator of the insur rection at Vienna, if such he was ; for such a sentence would at least have been dignified by the stern but open front of justice. Even Ney was condemned by the Chamber of Peers. But to hand over such an offender from the drum-head to the Provost-marshal is an act more worthy of the assassins of the Due d'Enghien in the fosse of Vincennes than of the Mi nisters and officers of the Imperial Crown in the hour of victory and in the light of freedom. Louis Batthy any was not taken with arms in his hands; he had no part in the latest and most violent acts of the insurrectionary Government. On the contrary, it was in December of last year that he presented him self voluntarily in the camp of Prince Windischgratz at Buda to make a last effort at reconciliation. Strictly speaking, he was at such a moment under the protection of a parley; yet he was arres t e d, or rather kidnapped, detained in close confinement in Austria or Moravia, and only taken back to Pesth to be hung or shot. Such an act of perfidy and deliberate re venge converts an act of painful harshness into one of atrocity, and it throws a portion of responsibility on the whole Government of Austria. Whatever may have been the faults of Louis Batthyany, they were not those of a low demagogue or a popular revolu• tionist. Although he had assumed the leadership of the Opposition in the Diet, no man in that assembly of magnates was more jealous of the dignity of his order, or a more chivalrous champion of aristocratic power. In asserting the pretensions of his rank and of his race he was not only ambitious but arro gant; yet, by a curious turn of retribution, it was his patronage which first placed Kossuth in the legislature, and prepared the future greatness of the man whose subtle and unscru pulous character destroyed the Administration of his benefactor, led the revolution to its last excesses, and consummated the crimes for which other and better men have laid down their lives._ Whatever, therefore, the precise charges may be for which Batthyany has suffered, they must fall within the first period of the revolution, between March and October, 1848. He was during that time the Prime Minister of the kingdom of Hungary, duly constituted by the Sove reign, and supported by the Diet. His acts were ap proved and ratified by that Sovereign. His colleagues in office were some of them men of undoubted loyalty, such as Prince Esterhazy himself. There was not one of them, except Kossuth, who would not at that time have recoiled with horror from such acts as the murder of Lemberg, or the deposition of the house of Hapsburgh. Doubtless many of the rash and violent measures of that Ministry did lead to the revo lution, and the recal of the troops from Italy was little short of treasonable; but, unless the Prime Minister of that day can be implicated in other and more violent gbi l l i vn c urhs t otu s of i ucrhhnrede October rebellion, ini a Vienna, a, n w d particularlye are at t a lossinthe catastrophe to perceive on what a o t f would et oieou h r nit e da nohclraayi have el an been eot a eeu v ndr e e mdubonestdetone des effect p sffih u er a t s tb l t aeA o fdro d i ern : i a aon t lni h l sc . ti rlai at Tti parties, ioohnen and been o m n a t d h e e in fai t l n u a re im of his per last ibuaa tbanttee,mbpet,rewlihniqcnhishbaedd power and took his place for a few weeks in the ranks of the army, until the parley occurred which led to his capture. It cannot, therefore, be for his acts as a rebel, but for his acts as a Minister, that he has been pronounced guilty. Yet the bulletin of a court-martial is the sole evidence submitted to the world to explain his fate; and we are at a loss to recal a single instance in the worst of times in which Governments the most bloody and the most absolute dared to perform such an act of horror on such a man, by such means, un less it be the murder of Count Egmont by the Duke of Alva. Aggravated as this most impolitic and brutal measure manifestly is by these considerations, we do not presume to pass censure upon it simply because capital punishment has been inflicted for a political offence. The existing law, and the present practice of our own country, most undoubtedly punish treason and rebellion with death, as the highest crimes, since no others inflict so large an amount of misery, blood shed, and ruin on a nation. Nor do we believe that humanity gains anything by dealing lightly with such offences, as in a neighbouring country, where the frequency of revolutions has rendered it conve nient to extend indulgence to the authors of these disturbances at the expense of their victims. If the insurrection of last summer in Ireland had ended, not in the cabbage garden of liallingarry, but in the loss of some hundreds of innocent lives— if the fate of Frost and his associates had not been arrested by judicial doubts, we are by no means assured that the supreme penalty of the law might not have been inflicted on the guilty parties with the assent of public opinion. More recently we have seen insurrections in Ceylon and Cephalonia repressed and punished with a degree of severity which the law and the Administration of this country do not disavow, however deeply we may regret the necessity of. such measures on any subjects of the Crown, be they Bri tish, Kandyans, or Corcyrasans. But, if the law of England be severe to such offences, it is public and it is just. It surrounds the man accused of treason with every precaution for the protection of innocence, and, above all, it abhors covert proceedings, loose charges, and ministers of justice liable to be swayed by ran cour or resentment. In the melancholy case which has called forth our present remarks all these defects of justice occur, superadded to treachery towards this unfortunate nobleman, and excessive itnpolicy towards the Hungarian people. This blood will be a curse on those who shed it, and men who sully their victory by such crimes have conquered in vain. CHRONICLE.—The attitude assumed by M. Thiers as Reporter of the Committee on Roman Affairs, is chiefly interesting as marking the relation of that statesman to the Ministry and the Moderate Party. The language he has hitherto held has been so guarded, and the topics on which he has enlarged from the tribune so bare of exciting interest, that he has been plausibly regarded as merely tolerating the separatedpolicy f has rnm s supported o existingrted by his combinations virtuallypolitical men. But the report read by him on Saturday as signs him his place. His view of the Roman question is that of the most advanced phase of French Conser vatism, and we may safely gather:from his language, his reasoning, and their occasion, that the partizans of ex treme reaction may henceforward command all the resources of subtlety and sophistry which he is known to possess. Such considerations give his report a greater importance than would attach to it from its intrinsic cleverness, great as it is. In truth, the in tention of M. Thiers to argue the case of the Ministry being once ascertained, it became easy to predict the substance and manner of his arguatent. The report is but two or three pages from " The Consulate and the Empire." The same plausibilitief e the same dialec tic - 11 tricks, and the same dexterity (for we wilt not say dishonesty) of statement, have be fore -irritated or amused us in that most unhistorical of histories. M. Thiers has proved himself the most successful of advocates, even when trammelled by the decencies of historical narrative. He could hardly be otherwise than plausible, when enjoying the logical licence permitted in a deliberative assembly. Thoie transactions which he has no temptation to misrepresent—in other words, those transactions to which France was not a party—M. Thiers relates in this report well and picturesquely. The light in which he professes to regard the events which oc curred before the French intervention is precisely that in which , we, with feebler powers, have con stantly endeavoured to place .them. We have re joiced with M. Thiers over those golden hopes of rational liberty which dawned in Italy only to be obscured in the troubled skies of 1848. With M. Thiers we have lamented the baseness, impotence, and folly of those f ac ti ons w hi c h the intestine tumults of February twelvemonth disgorged ; and we have - attempted to expose the emptiness of those unparalleled delusions which they substituted for solid anticipations .of seatirmal - happiness. We have ever seen that a season„of sharp experiences and searching trial was in store l'Or the people which, though in thought and conduct the most childish member of the European family, hurried to feed on the strong meat which the most matured of nations can scarcely assimilate—which, though in extraction the most demonstrably mongrel, and in sentiment the most palpably divided of local aggregations, devoted the slender energies it should have, carefully hus banded to the pursuit of an unity which not the most homogeneous of races has been enabled to attain. All this we have perceived, and have insisted upon through good and evil report. But there are two ways of looking upon the affairs of nations as of smaller fatni lies. It is possible to draw from them lessons for one's own guidance, or a pretext for meddling with that which does not concern us. M. Thiers' inference is of the second kind. Our own conclusions have ever been of the first. Experience, repeating its teaching in every age, has proved that to respect that which de facto exists is the golden rule of statesmanship. Every attempt —and the world has seen many such—to ignore a palpable fact, whether in the social economy of a nation or in its foreign relations, is a blunder. M. Thiers would obliterate the Roman Republic, and regard it as nou avenu. The report makes no allusion to its existence, simply stating that the Mazzinist faction " excited the population to demand institu tions out of all analogy to the state of public feeling and morals." Perhaps the narrator of the most gi gantic attempt ever made to override the declared will of a people was unwilling to associate his country with an enterprise of which the hopelessness and quixotism were !. - .est proved by the character of the Assembly he addressed. The historian of the twenty years' war waged by England against the first French Republic may have felt that, in the Legislature of the second Republic, advocacy of an antidemocratic cru sade was rather out of place. But M. Thiers can hardly hope to cheat his readers into forgetfulness of the Roman Republic, or consign to oblivion the form of government deliberately selected for themselves by the majority of the Roman people. The legitimacy of the Mazzinist polity is a capital faot, which no sophistry can rob of its prominence. Its want of "analogy to the state of morals" at Rome is quite another matter. No French Conservative can insist more strongly on the suicidal folly of the Roman Revolution than we ourselves have done. But a true estimate of the character of this outbreak only proves the enormity of the mistake committed by the French Ministry. Granted that Mazzini is no better than he should be. Imposture, like brute force, should be left to sink mole mai. The Roman Republic was propped for the time on the affections—misplaced, no doubt—of the Roman people. It needed but to wait, and these props would have fallen away. The demo cratic form of government has no real root among the population of Central Italy. The Roman States, dissa tisfied even before the French intervention, would not long have endured the hegemony of the metropolis, deprived of its mystery and its sanctity. And it may safely be affirmed, that Rome herself would not have borne her own dethronement without some energetic regrets, and that the reddest of her democrats would have felt compunction, before she permanently de clined from the visible seat of the visible Head of three parts of Christendom into a City of the Dead— a town with its public building; very much out of repair. But for the landing at Civita Vecchia, the catastrophe of Florence wou ld a l mos t c ert a inly have been repeated at Rome, and the Holy Father would have returned in six month; to the Vatican, amid the acclamations of his subjects. We believe that this has not escaped M. Thiers, or he would hardly lay so much stress on an argument which he has borrowed from former apologists, but which he has invested with much more importance than they did. He assumes that the Austrians would have seized on Rome if the French armies had not anticipated them. The answer is obvious. A word from Paris would have detained the German bayonets on the Po. Almost succumbing to the appalling difficulties with which she struggled in Eastern Europe, it is utterly incre dible that Austria would have braved a serious rup ture with the greatest military power of the %Vest. Thiers affirms that the motu proprio of the Pope is a trustworthy guarantee of future concessions and extensions. Our opinion is the other way. But M. Thiers may possibly be right. Only let it be re membered, that if the liberality of Pius hears in adequate fruit, or none at all, the fault will lie at the door of the policy which the report seeks to defend. If the Pope yields no further measure of reform, it will be through disgust at the coldness with which his subjects receive that at present conceded. He is surrounded by men who harp perpetually on the ingratitude of the rebellious Rotnans. And gratitude on the part of his subjects to Pius, restored by French arms, will be difficult, if not impossible. They will contrast him with the men who supplanted him, and whom he in turn supplants. The members of the Triumvirate, and the Committees of the National Assembly, may have been factious, violent, treacherous, or worse; but their regime ceased before it had time to become intolerable or even unacceptable. Rome will remember them as the free-handed donors of wholesome institutions. Rome will connect their names with a short experience of national vitality, and associate their memory with recollections of a brief emergence from the emascu lating and demoralising influences of priestly rule. It may be that Pius has as much of substantial liberty to accord as they had. 4nt the pup freely given w ill ever be sweeter th a n th e cup' tilitched' away and then proffered, even when it is not ,tainted by the bitter reminiscences of domestic humiliation and foreign rule. CAR' ARVON AND BANGOR RAILWAY.—It is with great pleasure we announce that this desideratum, so frequently projected, is now in a fair way to be ac complished. A company fully determined to 'com plete it has been formed ; and the full cost is ready to be deposited so as to secure the final accomplishment of ,the undertaking. Although the promoters aro a company separate and distinct from the conductors of the Chester and Holyhead line, its proceedings are vet concurrent with the wishes of the latter company, and sanctioned by them. For some time an objection was understood to have been made, as it respects the pass ing Plas Llanfair,• but we are glad to say that Mr. Griffith has withdrawn his opposition—the company undertaking to keep the upper side of the turnpike road in passing through his property. Mr. Assheton Smith, in the same spirit which actuated his former liberal offer, consents act only to give that portion of his land through which the line w ill Pass, but also to do everything in his power to e ncourage the un dertaking. We understand it is to be a single line, at least in the first instance ; and to commence at the Britannia-bridge. After leaving the Treborth property, it will pass through a tunnel nearly under Capel y Graig, and merge into the Bangor. road within a short distance of the Vagnol Lodge. It will then keep on the upperside of the road, passing over the inclined plane at Veli Heli, until it roaches the Llanfair smithy, where it approaches the shore; but whether it will continue all the way to Carnarvon on that side, is not determined. Much will depend on the expense of tunnelling under Cos Gwyn, the seat of Finchett Maddock, Esq. There can be no doubt that the most eligible practical lino will be adopted —one that will secure the greatest amount of public advantage, and entail the least inconvenience ou private individuals. We therefore sincerely hope that no factious opposition will be made to the undertaking, as the public generally, no less than ourself, are fully assured that its comple tion will not only tend greatly to the improvement of Caernarvon, but to the general advantage of the Prin ciP ilitY.—Caernal von and Denbigh Herald.

TIIE QUEEN'S visir TO THE CITY. Yesterday a special Court was held for the purpose ,f taking into consideration an important letter which was received by the Lord Mayor from Lori John Russell. Upon the assembling of the Court the doors were )rdered to be closed, and we understand the Lord Mayor read the letter addressed to him by Lord J. Russell (a copy of which will be found in the ac count of the proceedings of the Court of Common Council), intimating that it was th 3 intention of her Majesty to visit the City on the opening of the Coal Exchange. This letter was received with loud cheers, and was ordered to be entered on the journal of the Court, and a committee was immediately appointed with power to carry out, in conjunction with the Lord Mayor, all the necessary arrangements for the respectful reception of her Majesty. The Court then adjourned. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL . VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE CITY. Yesterday a special Court was held upon important public business. The following notice was ordered to take precedence of other business : " To receive an' important communication from the Lord Mayor. " And a report from the Coal, Corn, and Finance Com mittee on the opening of the new Coal Exchange." The principal business of the ordinary paper re ferred to the operation of the New Corporation Act, and was to receive a report. on the reference upon the Act to amend the Act of 11 Geo. 1., cap. 18, relating to elections in the City. Mr. Deputy limas having suggested an alteration in the minutes of the last Court, rendered necessary by an oversight of the mover of one of the propositions relative to Smithfield-market, Mr. PEAR, the chairman of the Markets Committee, asked whether it would not be advisable, at the same time, to refer Mr. Mackinnon's letter to the com mittee ?—(Cries of "No, no," and laughter.) THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY OF LONDON. The LORD MAYOR rose to make the expected com munication to the Court. Sir P. Limn having moved that the court be cleared of strangers, upon a point of etiquette, until his Lordship's statement should be made, Mr. ANDERTON said he could not see why on such occasions the public should be excluded. The prac tice of receiving royal communications with closed doors was, in his opinion, " more honoured in the breach than the • observance." He lived Sir Peter Laurie would not persevere in his motion.—(hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE said that both Courts had uni formly adhered to the etiquette, and it was on that account he submitted the proposition. The Court had no reason to object to the presence of strangers upon the ground that the communication was an unfavourable one, for it happened to be quite the reverse.—(Hear, hear.) The gallery and space below the bar were then cleared. In the absence of strangers, the Court, we are in rormed, proceeded in the following manner:— The LORD MAYOR laid before the members the fol lowing letter from Lord John Russell : " Downing-street, O.A. 15th, 1849. "My Lord,—l have the satisfaction to inform you that her Majesty will visit the city of London on the 30th instant, on the day of the opening of the Coal Exchange. " I have the honour to be yofir obedient servant, " J. RUSSELL. " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." —(Enthusiastic cheers.)' Upon which Mr. John Wood, the Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, brought up a report upon the subject, and the Court, with loud cheers, referred it back to the committee, with power to take the necessary steps for the due reception and accommodation of her Majesty and suite. It is believed that her Majesty will go to the Coal Exchange by water. The most splendid preparations will be made for the reception of the Queen. THR NSIW CORPORATION ACT. Mr. J. WOOD, as Chairman of the Consolidated Committee, brought up the report on the reference upon the Act of 11 George 1., cap. 18, relating to elections in the City. In presenting it he merely stated that the committee were satisfied with the opinion of the law officers of the Court contained in the report, and did not consider it to be necessary to consult the counsel for the Crown upon the sul ject. lie was ready to answer any objection which might be raised. The following report was then read:— " Alunday, Oct. 8. "In compliance with the request of your committee, we, the undersigned, have coniidcred the late Act of tip. 12th and 13th Victoria, with a view to its practical working, and for the purpose of its being carried int,' effect according to its legal import. It is an Act to amend the 11th George 1., and reciting the clause of that Act relative to the right of election of aldermen and common councilmen, which was thereby declared to belong to freemen, being householders, paying scot and bearing lot, and to none other whatsoever, provided their houses were of the value of 101. a year, and they were the sole occupiers, and had been in possession of a house of such value fur 12 months; and also reciting that the right of voting should be extended and enlarged, and that the re cited Act should be altered and amended. "By the Ist section it is enacted, That so much of the recited Act as regulates the right of voting in such elections, and the time at which the polling should com mence, and the period during which it should continue, should be repealed.' The 21 section substitutes in the place of the regulations of the right of voting which had been repealed, other regulations, which are extended to the election of ward officers, still requiring that the voter must be a freeman, but no longer requiring that such freeman should be a householder, or should pay scot or bear lot, nor that the house of a householder should be of the value of 101. a-year, nor that the house holder should be the sole occupier or in possession for twelve months, but gives . a title to vote to any freeman merely occupying, either solely or jointly, any house, warehouse, counting-house, .office, chambers, or shop, and rated in his own name at 101. per annum (with a provision as to the joint occupation) to the police or any other rate,' which, as it is an extending and enlare ing Act, cannot be construed to exclude, but rather to admit, any person who, having the: other qualifications, is upon any rate in the city to the required amount. The further requisite is, that the person to be entitled to vote must be registered in the register of votes for the city of London, described as in use at elections for Members of Parliament, and then in force, in respect to such pre mises. This title to vote, given as a substitute fur the former, took effect immediately upon the repeal of the former, which was when this Act received the Royal assent, namely, August 1, when the former right ceased and the new right commenced. This, therefore, would be the title to vote to be admitted at every election im mediately after the Act passed, and to be proved by every elector whose vote was disputed at any such elec tion. •• But the 3d section, instead of such proof in detail at the time of election, provides a shotter medium of proof to be adopted for the future, and enacts that on the Ist of November in every year the aldermen and common councilmen shall make an alphabetical list of all persons entitled to vote as freemen occupiers under that Act, such list to be signed by the aldermen, who then, on the Ist of November next, will be the persons entitled to vote as freemen occupiers under that Act—the freemen occupiers duly rated and registered in the register of voters for the city of London, in use at elections for members to serve in Parliament, and then in force; not any list, but the register, and only one register, for it must be the register in force—that is, ou the Ist of November next, the register which came into force on the Ist of December, 1848, and continues in force till let of December, 1849. The list so made is to be the list of freemen occupiers entitled to vote after the passing of that Act, and none can vote after the Ist of November hut those on the list. On the 4th section there can be no material doubt. The 2d section having extended the right of election to occupiers of houses, warehouses, counting-houses, offices, chambers, and shops, freed from many of the restraints in the Act of 11 George 1., it became necessary to make those who were thus made electors capable of being elected as common councilmen, and, therefore, this clause, in the same words as the second clause, makes all freemen, having the specified qualifications, capable of being common councilmen, notwithstanding any custom or usage to the contrary, These persons are, therefore, now, for the first time, declared to be capable of being elected common councilmen; but there are no words of disqualification (such as those recited in the preamble from the 11th of George 1., and none other whatsoever), therefore, all who were before qualified continue to b so, with the addition of these new. parties. This being only the election of an individual, no previous list was necessary for the purpose of ascertaining the eligi bility, but at the election any person might dispute the qualification, and the necessary inquiry as to the requi sites of the fifth clause might be entered upon, and a person establishing the qualification required by that clause, and showing his name on the Parliamentary register then in force, would be eligible at that election. ' " On the 6th section there does not appear to be any material doubt. " As to the 7th section no question is likely to arise after the Ist of November. No questions at present arise on e ith er o f the remaining clauses. It i s t h e d uty of the beadles of the ward to have their rolls of freemen fully made up according to the annual precept of the Lord Mayer to the wardmotes and the articles for the inquest. From the beadles, therefore, should be ob tained the list of freemen in the ward. The information necessary to complete the lists of freemen can be ob tained from Mr. Sewel, at the Chamberlain's Office. HENRY ALWORTH MEREWETHER, Town Clerk. "THOMAS SAUNDERS, Comptroller. "EDWARD TYRAEL, Remezelarancer." Mr. J. Wool) moved, " that the Court agree with .the report," and Mr. HARTLEY seconded tha motion. The COURT immediately adopted the report, which was ordered to be printed, and copies were ordered to be sent to the members. AUDITORS OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. The COURT then proceeded to discuss the propos\ tion to appoint three auditors, under the Sewers Act, to audit the accounts of the Commissioners fur the year ending el`lichaelm2s last. Mr. PEACOCK (the chairman of the Commissioners of Sewers) proposed, as the Act of Paxliament re quired that the remuneration of the auditors should be decided upon before their election, that the sum of five guineas be voted to each of the three. A long disussion took place upon the question of se'ecting auditors frum the corporation. Mr. Low objected to the appointment of any per sons who belonged to the Sewers Commission to act as auditors of the accounts of that body. Mr. ANDERTON said, the auditors of the Commis sioners of Sewers ought not to be members of the corporation at all. Such an exclusion would show the independence of the Court, and certainly it was but fair that those who paid the rates should have the power of checking the accounts.—(Hear.) Ms. R. TAYLOR agreed in the opinion that the auditors should be independent of the Commissioners of Sewers, and should act rather as a check upon that body, and he also thought that some small sum should be pail to them from the chamber as remuneration for their services. Mr. BLAKE said, it would be creditable to the Cor poration to appoint auditors who had no connexion whatever with the Corporation, and he was sure that every member of the Court would be desirous to shun the least imputation of partiality or prejudice. He should therefore move, as an amendment, " That 51. sa. be given to each auditor, but that the auditors should not be members of the Corporation." Mr. OBBARD seconded the amendment. Mr. Low said, his object was to appoint three members of the Court to act as unpaid officers of the Commissioners of Sewers. He deprecated the notion of paying five guineas to a respectable person for the performance of what certainly formed a portion of his duties. The Bridge House Committee had three au litors who never contemplated remuneration. A few members here named a smaller amount of remuneration than that proposed. Mr. R. L. JONES said, it was quite evident from the wording of the Act which provided that the remu neration should be settled before the election, that the auditors should be independent of the Court. He believed that there was not a member of the corpora tion who would accept of remuneration for the per formance of the duty. Mr. BOWER was sure the amendment would, if carried, have the effect of casting an imputation upon those who did not deserve censure. He submitted, too, that the Court could not be quite certain that strangers, who could not be amenable, as the mem bers of the Court were, to the constituency, would perform the duties of the office effectually.—(Hear.) Mr. Deputy HARRISON hoped the amendment would be agreed to. The due auditing of the accounts would, he assured the Court, involve a large expenditure of time, and ought to be properly remunerated. He be lieved, if the appointments were independent of the Commissioners of Sewers, such an arrangement would be satisfactory to the Commissioners as well as to the public. Mr. H. L. TAymon asked out of what fund it was contemplated to pay the auditors ? Mr. Deputy HARRISON - Certainly out of the rates. The RECORDER having stated that the amendment could not be put in the exact form in which it was introduced by Mr. Blake, the mover, Mr. Low rose and moved, as an amendment to Mr. Peacock's motion, " that the auditors be not paid." The Court then divided, and the amendment was carried by a majority of two; the numbers being— for the amendment 43, against it 41. Mr. BLAKE then moved, as an amendment to the last amendment, which had become by the result of the division the original question, " that the sum of three guineas be paid to each of the auditors." That amendment was after some discussion nega tived by a majority of 4 ; the numbers being—for the amendment 33, against it 37 ; and it was finally. d-termined " that the auditors should be unpaid." Upon the motion of Mr. R. TAYLOR, the election of the auditors was postponed. Mr. R. TAYLOR then gave notice of a motion, that no member of the Court be appointed auditor; and Mr. ANDERTON congratulated the Court upon the economical virtue it had exhibited in expending three hours in a discussion about the sum of 15 guineas. Upon the motion of Mr. WIRE, a petition of the committee for promoting the building and permanent endowment of King's College Hospital, for a grant of money, was referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee. CITY DUES. Mr. Willa presented a petition from oyster breeders and growers and proprietors of oyster fisheries, to be relieved from the dues for metage, Stc., of oysters. The petitioners appeared at the bar, and were ques tioned by several of the members, and they stated that they considered themselves deserving of ralief from the metage dues, inasmuch as those oyster pro prietors who sent oysters by rail were subject to no duty whatever. Upon being asked whether they had not already resisted the payment of metage dues, they admitted that such was certainly the case, where upon they were advised to withdraw their petition, to pay the metage dues from the continuance of which they had petitioned to be relieved, and to send in a fresh petition to the Court. Mr:Alderman COPELAND said, that in his mayoralty he had been obliged to act vigorously in consequence of the resistance of fruit owners and butter owners to the dues which he, as a member of the corporation, felt bound to support, and the consequence was that the opposition completely dropped. Mr. Wiau approved of the recommendation, and advised the petitioners to come forward when they shall have complied with the existing regulations. THE NEW STREET FROM CINNON-STREET TO ST. PAUL S. Mr. T. 11. HALL called tho attention of the Court to the report of the improvement committee relative to the new street, which it was now evident to the public would be proceeded with until it terminated in a manner favourable to abundant traffic. It was necessary to prepare the Parliamentary notices as soon as possible, as well as to prevent the erection of buildings which had already began to grow in the very line which had been selected. The following report was then read : " We, whose names are hereunder subscribed, your conamittee for improvements within this City, to whom, on the 29th day of July, 1847, it was referred to carry into execution the Act of Parliament of the 10th and 11th years of her present Majesty's reign, intituleti, ' An /tot for widening and improving Cannon-street, and for making a now street from the west-end of Cannon-street to Queen-street,' do certify that we have made consider- able progress in carrying the same into execution, all the premises required for that part thereof, commencing at the western side of Turnwtaeel-lane to Queen-street having been purchased and taken down under our direc• Lions, and we have recently directed notices to be served upon the parties interested of our intention to purchase the property in continuance of the said improvement between Turnwheel-lane and Lawrence Pountnoy-hill. That we have since taken into consideration the desir ableness of further continuing the line of improvement, by extending it , from Queen-street to St. Paul's churchyard, as agreed to by this Hun. Court on the 22d day of October, 1846; and being of opiaion that the present is a suitable time for that purpose, as well as for effecting some further improvements in Threadneedle , street and Maiden-lane, now Gresham-street west, we recommend this Hon. Court to direct the rememkancer to give the proper notices, agreeably to the standing orders of Parliament, for an Act in the next session authorising such extended improvements; and also to direct the City's architect, forthwith to take steps for preparing the proper schedule of the property which will be required for these purposes, he taking to his assistance such aid as, with the concurrence of our chair• man, may be found requisite, to enable him to complete the same within the time required by the regulations of Parliament.

Upon the motion " that the petition be agreed to,'' Mr. NORRIS said, the question involved the reputa tion of the City as to the carrying out of its projected improvements, and it also involved a vast expense. They should look to the probability of completing so great a plan. The public were tired of such improve ments as they were of late accustomed to. Ile doubted the propriety of going on with the new street, and was desirous of a postponement until all the necessary information could be supplied. He did not like the suddenness with which reports of such importance were got up, and he instanced Gresham-street as a proof of the careless and injudicious manner in which the funds of the corporation were expended under the head of iniprovonients. In fact, he was of opinion • ~~ unities a 3rtunities good at an were neglecting oppor od, and embracing o produce no amoun He mu the eircum enormous ems,,,_ _ stances, " that the que s ti on b e postponed." Mr. ANDENTON seconded the motion for postpone ment, for he wished to know,. amongst other things, the amount of money already expedded in the project, and the amount which was intended to be borrowed. He did not like the way in whic:4 the corporation of London acted with respect to its improvements. Why had - they not, as Manche t er had, a comprehensive Act, empowering them to make all necessary improve ments, instead o f being obliged to go to Parliament, at a tremendmis expense, to accomplish every little object of the_ "kind. Mr. Deputy HARRISON said, when he was given to' understand that it was agreed to form the whole line of street from Cannon street to St. Paul's, he con; si.dered that such an improvement would be necessary, hut he never supposed that it would be of the least utility to extend the work no further than Queen street. He contended, in answor to an of made by Mr. Norris, that the success of a new line never could be ascertained until it was concluded He did not wish to see the property of the corpon • tion sacrificed; and how caul.' the committee sell disk property on eligible terms without carrying out the object in a proper manner ?—(lV4r.) They must be candid with the public and proceed earnestly in the wurk, and as soon as the improvements should be completed, the result would, he had no doubt, be satis factory. The line of improvement had already been agreed to, and all the committee now required was the power to carry those improvements to some useful end. As for the observation that the public were tired of improvements, such might be the caso elsewhere, but certainly such was not the feeling in the city of London.—( Hear.) Mr. Low thought it would be advisable to finish the improvements in the east before the Court went to the west. Mr. EDKINS Mild, if the present opportunity were lost it would be diffas.ult to receeu► it. The report was then agreed to, and it was referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee to consider as to the best means of raising a fund for carrying into effect the improvements contemplated. • Upon the motion of Mr. HALL, a report relative to Holborn-hill was ordered to be printed. SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE METROPOLIS. --- Mr. WHITE moved— ! " That it be referred to a committee to inquire into the present supply of water in the metropolis, and to ascertain the best means of obtaining an adequate pro vision of that indispensable requisite, with power to consult scientific and other persons who may be qualified to give advice and information upon the subject, and to report thereon to the Court." Mr. WIRE seconded the motion. Mr. R. TAYLOR opposed it. If they agreed to refer the subject to a committee, it would look as if they ere holding out a hope of the exercise of a power which they did not possess.—(Hear, hear.) The subject was a metropolitan one, and he was astonished that the Government did not bring forward some measure for the general supply. of so necessary an article. He believed the City was better supplied than any other part of the metropolis. Mr. It. L. JONES said the question had been fre quently before the Court since 1822, and it had grown too large for the corporation to cope with, with any chance of a good result. To co- operate with the Government in the endeavour to obtain a copious supply should be their object. As for the idea of obtaining more information upon the subject, there were in numerable works which contained the moat accurate details and statistics, to which they could, if necessary, refer. Mr. Low proposed an amendment, limiting the inquiry as to the supply of water to the city of London, and altering some of the words of the original motion. The amendment was carried, and the question was referred to the City Lands Committee. Adjourned. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.

HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK. (From the return of the Registrar-General ) In the week ending last Saturday, the total number of deaths registered was 1,075 ; the weekly average derived from deaths in the autumnal quarter (which commences with the present month) of five previous years is 1,162 ; the weekly return, there• fore, now exhibits a decrease on the average, after a period of more than three months, during which it has shown a considerable, and in eleven consecutive weeks an enormous excess above the usual rate of mot tality. The decrease is observed in the west, north, and central divisions ; the mortality in the east and south, where the deaths from cholera are still the most numerous, is about the average. The deaths from cholera in the last week were 110 ; in five previous weeks they were 2,026 (the highest number which, exclusive of those from diarrhoea, the epi demic attained), 1,682, 839, 434, 288. In last week the deaths from diarrhoea and dysentery (the mor tality of which is more steadily maintained) were 105, almost as numerous as deaths from cholera, and considerably more than usual at this advanced season of the year. The aggregate deaths from these three kindred diseases were therefore 215 ; while the weekly average is only 35. During last week the daily number of deaths from cholera averaged 16 ; on Wednesday there were only 11. In the districts of St. James (Westminster), Islington, St. Giles (Holborn), Camberwell, and Rotherhithe, no deaths from cholera were registered during the week. in Kensington there were 6 ; in Hackney, 5 ; in Bethnal-green, 7 ; in Shoreditch, 12 ; in Poplar, 5 ; in St. Saviour, 6 ; in Bermondsey, 6 ; in St. George (Southwark), Lambeth, Wandsworth, 7 each; and in Greenwich, 8. In all other districts the mortality from the epidemic did not range higher than four deaths. All other epidemics are at present under the average ; smallpox and measles remarkably low ; but scarlatina becomes more fatal, the deaths having risen from 39 in the previous week to 56 in the last (the average being 64). Typhus was fatal in 47 cases. The mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.540 in. ; the mean temperature was 46 deg. 7 min., which is 4 deg. 7 min. less than the average of the same week in seven years ; it also shows a decrease on the mean of the previous week of 5. THE GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY. —lt is positively arranged that the ceremony of opening the above railway to this city will take place on Thurs day next. A special train will proceed from the Black pool station to Mallow, at half-past twelve o'cloek on that day, to receive the Lord-Lieutenant and the direc tors, when all parties will return to Cork. In the even ing a dinner will be given at the Imperial Hotel, at which his Excellency has expressed his intention of being present. In whatever point of view we contem plate an event that will inaugurate the approach to our city of the great agency of modern civilization, it must be regarded with feelings of the highest satisfaction. ‘Vhether we consider the benefit that will flow from the undertaking, in pouring a tide of traffic through the country, or the proud testimony which it bears to the capacity of Irishmen for the most arduous enterprises of human skill, it equally inspires exultation. ISo under taking of equal vastness was ever carried out with s more faithful adherence to engagements, developed in a greater degree the highest qualities that deserve sad insure prosperity, or has been conducted to a more suc cessful and glorious issue. In the abundant realization of the promise with which the work was commenced, and in the repute of integrity, economy, and ability which has attended them to its consummation, the di rectors have just cause for the strongest and worthiest sentiments of pride and congratulation that men can entertain.—Cork Examiner.
