NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. tions to which the Government intend to send militia to take the place of the regiments of the line-. A considerable number at once intimated their readiness to do so. constituents when he told them that the war was begun on behalf of " oppressed nationalities." They steadily answered " No," and his appeal to the opinion of Lord Dudley Stuart could extract from them no other an swer ; but when he said the war was for the sake of resisting Russian encroachments on Turkey he was met with cries of " That is it !" Here, then, ho was fixed with the true queStion: But how did he deal with it I Austria and Prussia did not go to war, he said ; bad you. waited. for them to resist the Czar you would have gained all you wanted without expenditurd of blood and trea sure. Here is the true support on which the Emperor of Russia leant. Prussia, doubtless, he said to himself, will not move without Austria, Austria without France, France without England, and gn g land without the sup port of all united. Each country can give excellent reasons why the others should take the dangers and the cost upon themselves. The rats all fear the cat, but who will put the bell round her neck I The Czar doubtless, expected that Europe would act as Mr. Cob den thinks she ought to have acted—that each State would have made her neighbour's valour the measure of her own, or rather sheltered her own cowardice behind their backwardness. Here, again, is an appeal to the meanest feelings of the mind—selfishness and indolence —the desire to put off till to-morrow what should be done to-day, and to shift upon our neighbours those duties which devolve upon ourselves; an appeal applicable to every war waged in defence of public principles from the beginning of the world to the present day. Next eomes - the proposition that a majority of the subjects of the Sultan is favour able to the Czar, proved by the assertion that the Greeks have everywhere evinced Riissian tendencies—as if the Christians inhabiting Turkey were ( ;reeks, or as if the danger from the encroachments of Russia would be less, and the necessity of interference to stop it less urgent, because the Emperor of Russia, with sinister objects in view, as Mr. Cobden hibeself says—with objects in view incompatible with the independence of Europe, as we say—has enlisted the support of eight millions of the subjects of the Sultan. Another irrelevant topic is the question of what we are to do -when the ever is over, and how we are to regulate the affairs of Turkey. ' We shall doubtless so regulate them as to check the encroachments of Russia, the real object of the war ; as Mr. Cobden himself says, we trust we may also secare the reorganisation of Turkey ; but even if this were impossible, it would afford no good reason against a war not undertaken principally for this purpose. We need not dwell on Mr. Cobden's remarks on the expedition to the Crimea, because they also are irrelevant to the question of peace or war. Whatever be the hardships suffered by our army, the strength of the nation is not broken, nor her spirit subdued. We have in our hands the means of success, and nothing has occurred, or is likely to occur, which should induce us to abets one jot of the requirements on compliance with which we are ready to negotiate for peace. Mr. Cobden says thatan honourable peace is poseibly, or oven probably, within our reach. We desire no more ; but, if this is all that he asks, why does he appeal to our avarice, our sel fishness, our cowardice,—to every mean and ignoble passion of the human mind, when he has nothing to do but to point out to us the way to so desirable an object ? If Mr. Cobden is really counselling us to base retractations and dishonourable compliances, to the be trayal of the alliances we have made, and the abandon ment of the noble position we have taken up, we can quite understand the employment of such topics ; but if the course he recommends be honourable as well as safe, we confess their employment is to us utterly incompre hensible. The termination of Mr. Cobden's speech is as irrelevant as the commencement, Ho denies our right to resist Russian aggression, because in the che quered history of 800 years we have; been guilty of ag gression ourselves—an argument which, if good for any thing, would preclude us not only from offensive but from defensive war. _ tied to be appointed to the civil service of the East India, Company ; and the names of the selected candidates who shall have so passed shall be placed in a list in the order of their merit in such examinations, estimated as above by the total number of marks which they shall have obtained in respect of all the subjects in which they shall have been examined at such examination. ~-- The St. George, 120, screw, Captain Codrington, in in Sheerness basin.

The Majestic, 80, screw, Captain Hope, C. 8., is in No. 3 dry dock at Sheerness. Her crew are still on leave, but what are net are hulked on board the Mino taur. Her mainmast is Under repair at Wool wich. The engineerine; department will be the means of detaining her in port some time. The Cressy, 80, screw steam line-of-battle ship, was ordered to.be put out of dry dock at Sheerness yester day, which could not be effected in consequence of the low state of the flood tide. If possible she will go out to-day, and immediately after the blocks have been ar ranged for her the new screw steam-corvette the Pylades will be taken into the same dry dock (No. 1), for cop pering, &c. This corvette is progressing in her fitment by the late crew of the Desperate, meet of whom are at present on leave of absence. The Russell, 60, now in No. 2 dry dock at Sheerness, will be ready to leave in two or three days. She is ordered to be fitted with all possible despatch. The Arrogant, 47, screw, Captain Yelverton, is taking out a portion of her machinery. It will be at least a month before she will be ready for sea. The Me!atnpus, 42, is nearly ready for leaving the basin. at Sheerness. She has entered some very fine fellows, and she is destined for Constantinople, there to remain as a depot for provisions, stores, &c., for the use of the Black Sea fleet. The Amphion, 34, screw steam-frigate, has hal her old boilers taken out, and active preparations are going on for preparing to put new boilers into her, and get her ready for sea with all possible despatch. Pylaelee, 20, screw, Captain D'Eyncourt, is in Sheer ness basin. ;Her lower masts are stepped, and the tops and rigging over the ‘masthead ;; 'her-boilers are nearly bedded, and di-day (Friday), when the Cressy hauls out of No. 1, this vessel will haul in, to finish the pro peller, &c. Desperate, 8, screw, is still moored over on the west shore at Sheerness ; she flies the pennant again ; her machinery is most defective, and she will require to be docked. _ _ _ (From the Daily News.)

" JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretar: The great meeting at Leeds, on Wedneeday, was one of which the inhabitants of that important centre of in dustrial activity may well be proud. The attendance was so numerous that en adjournment to the Cloth Hall , Yard was found to be necessary. The extraordinary exertions made by those who call themselves the friends of peace, to convert it into a demonstration in favour of their peculiar views, had been so indefatigable as to excite a strong spirit of opposition. Yet the proceedings , of this crowded and heterogeneous assembly were cha racterised by an absence of headstrong passion, and a , calm, dispassionate, judicial dignity, that wore worthy , of a senate. Mr. Cobden was listened to with patience and respect. He was treated by the:speakers opposed to him with that deference which his former great services deserve. But the almost unanimous division against him showed that the judgment of the men of Leeds is not to be biassed or seduced iisy personal respect or plau sible sophistry. They have set a worthy example to the Legislature and the nation at large. They have shown that Englishmen know how to combine unrestricted freedom of discussion with dignified self-respect. If the Russian Government possess any intelligence, they must be taught by the proceedings of Wednesday, at Leeds, that the English people listen to all before they resolve, but are inflexible in their resolution when once it is taken. The appearance made by Mr. Cobden is inexpressibly painful foe-41308e who cherish the recollection of what he was when acting as the animating and directing spirit of the Anti-Corn Law League, Then he was inspired by a great idea which ke fully comprehended, and which he struggled to realise by a rare mi7:,,aire of uncompromising firmness, unsurpassed tact, • 4 , un in termitting good, temper. His views were broa ac r id comprehensive ; his arguments lucid, honourable, and straightforward. But his Wednesday's speech was throughout sophistical, shuffling, and low in its moral tone. Speaking of that small section of public opinion which denounces all war indiscriminately, Mr. Cobden said :—" These gen tlemen themselves have never attempted to press their opinions upon the policy of this country ; and I must here state that they have been the first to tell me to disavow participation in their doctrines. I have been told by members of the Society of Friends to dis avow their opinions, because they knew I should lose all influence, by advocating their opinions, on the public mind." It is not true that these gentlemen have ab stained from pressing their opinions upon the policy of the country. Addresses have been circulated by them, sent by post to almost every male adult of the United Kingdom. We ourselves have received innumerable communications from them, threatening us with pecu niary loss if we persisted in the course we have pursued with regard to the war. They have desired Mr. Cobden to disavow their opinions, in order that he might retain his influence on the public mind, and accomplish their ends for them while pretending to aim for something else. And he has condescended to play their game ; en deavouring to persuade the nation to abstain from all war, under all circumstances, while affecting to recog nise that some wars might be justifiable. This is shuf fling, both on his part and on the part of the Society of Friends. Again, the unvaried tenour of Mr. Cob den's arguments against the war is based upon its being expensive. He fancies that if he can persuade the people that it will cost them much, ho has said enough to induce them to desist from it. He appears to be in capable of conceiving that men can make pecuniary sacrifices for what they conceive to be just and honour able. This is sordid. Lastly, he unscrupulously per verted facts ; and, by muti!atecl quotations, attributed to others sentiments and opinions which they never en tertained or expressed. This is sophistical. Had Mr. Cobden retired from public life when the repeal of the Corn-laws was achieved, he would have carried with him the respect of all—even of opponents. He has lingered on the stage only to add one more illustration of the truth, that a man may be a successful agitator and yet totally disqualified for acting as a legislator or states. man. We write in sorrow, net in anger. We write of a man whom we have loved, honoured, laboured for, as we have done for no other. We will endeavour hence forth to recollect only the Richard Cobden of the Anti- Corn-law League, and forget what imperfectly-informed dogmatism and wayward vanity have reduced him to be. We are grateful for the good he has done ; we can for get and forgive the evil he has failed to do. Henceforth he is innocuous. We revel t to a more pleasing subject —the general tone of the meeting. Mr. Baines said "He agreed that the attack upon Sebastopol had been made by too small an army, and he thought the Government ought to have had more information upon the subject than they seemed to have possessed." In this Mr. Baines spoke the uni versal sense of the country. We have not feared to run the risk of misconstruction in advocating mutual tole rance and national unity in the prosecution of the war. And this led us to demur to the earlier proposals for a change or reconstruction of Ministry. But time has shown that if the war is to be prosecuted to an honour able and beneficial termination, tbsrisk of a reconstruc tion of the Ministry must be run. The same short-sighted indifferent spirit, that caused the war to be commenced in a trifling puce-cmaute manner, still prevails among certain members of the administration. They are THE THEORY AND PRACTICE 01 P DINING IN PARIS. Yesterday the Soci6td de Gastronomie, of whi , sh M. Emile de Girardin is a leading member, opener 1 their monster restaurant, the Diner de l'Expoeition, in the Rues Lepelletier and Laffitte. The directors of the "Grand Exhibition Dinner" are not the invent ors of a now system. They merely profess to improve up an a re cent experiment, which has been attended wi th great success. It is very possible that, as in the case of gunpowder, the steam-engine, and nusaerous ot? ter great discoveries, the credit of the invention may be given to those whose names are associated with its unive: sal diffu sion, while the real inventors are forgotten. Int he course of last summer one of the many jaurnalists whoc e occupa tion was gone in consequence of the great politic :al revolu tion of 1851, out of the abundance of his leisure • and men tal activity, conceived the idea of a diaFing eate NMl:west upon a scale never before- attempted, Which al iould com bine the advantages of a table d'hote with those of a restaurant, at a fixed price. He was a ma n of small capital, but he had faith in his project, and found friends to supply him with money to carry i t out. You must have heard of the Diner de Paris, o• L the Boule vard,. at the corner of the Passage Joel - oy, the first restaurant of the kind in question eve' opened in Perin. This retired journalist was the fo under of - this establishment. He started from premis !,s something like these. The conveniences of a table , d'hote are a variety of well-cooked dishes, a handsome, well-warmed, welMighted, and well-ventilated dining-r oom, and the cheerful buzz of society at the very mon sent in the 24 hours at which mankind is most disposed to be cheerful, combined with a moderato rate of paymei it. The incon veniences are the fixed hour, and the ne e e ssity to a cer tain , extent laid upon y ou o f making acq aaintance, how ever slight, with the stra ngers w h o mey happen to sit near you. At the restaurants, at a fi zed price, which have long abounded in Paris, a dinner at a moderate— often. at a very cheap rate, selected at pleasure from an infinitely varied bill of fare, may be had at any reasonable hour. But the frequents Ire of such places too well know that, when sour ~ fish, entrdee, hors-d'oeuvres, roasts, game, vegetable is, salads, desserts, and wine, are given for 2 francs, the stomach has small rejoicing when all is swallowed. Eve n if the viands may not be of second or third-rats qualit y (as for the most part they are) they must of necessity , in the majority of instances, be spoilt by overcooking s because the cook who is expected to have everythin g in season always ready can never tell when any particular dish may be called for. The main idea of the Diner de Paris was to have but one bill of fare for the day, as at a table d'hote, but to have, during the ordinary dining hours, a constant succession of the same series of dishes. The bill of fare was con spicuously posted up at the door, so that every oust ;omer might pause at the threshold if he saw an .ything prima facia not pleasing to him, and a pro , raise was made that a first-class cook, whose attentio n would not be dis tracted by sudden calls for any dish that a man might fancy out of a list of three hnn Bred, would send up to table nothing but the best things of the season, and those cooked to a nicety as if ordered • for a fixed hour. The new system pleased the Parisiai is. All last summer the vast saloons of the Diner de P aria were thronged with diners at 31 francs each, which price included a bottle of vin ordinaire, or half a bottle , of better quality. The success of the parent establish ment speedily encouraged speculators to start others of a similar kind. Within the last few months we have # seen the Diner de Conz merce, the Diner Enrol:Wen, the Diner Universal, and some others, all rather cheape ,r than the Diner de Paris, and at the same time as good , or nearly so. Now comes M. de Girardin's scheme for • lining the well-to-do million on the same system, but on a much grander scale. His argument is this. There are s in Paris thousands of na tives and foreigners who dir ,e daily or frequently at first class restaurant', where, wi thout any particular luxury, they spend 15 francs for th sir dinner. If we can, by a grand combination and jad icious outlay of capital, give this class of society the sar ae dinner for 5f., shall we not surely attract them to our table I Such is the substance of a prospectus circulated in Paris for some months past. An important part of the 1 moject is that the undertaking is divided into shares, at t he low rate of 25f. a share. The directors offered the temp ting terms of a free ticket for one dinner to every share bolder, and a contract to take the shares at par (in dins sera) whenever the holder might wish to eat them out. 7 :he opening of this giant estab lishment has been post poned from time to time, and people began to think it would never open at all. A few days ago the 25f. shares I were at 15 discount, and many fortunate purchasers are • now proceeding to eat five splen did dinners for the ridia ntlously small sum of 10f. Yes terday it was positively r announced that the Exhibition dinner would open at four o'clock. The two entrances were besieged by long queues of people long before the hour. A formidable footman, in gorgeous livery, six feet high, said 4,000 peopl e had dined, and that there was not a single vacant ph see in the establishment. Having obtained admission in - to -a gorgeous saloon, covering an area at least as large : seTthat of Lincoln's-inn Hall, after waiting a few momen ton elegant chamberlain, in black with a golden chab 2 1;1 found me a seat on a velvet cushioned chair. Dii er was served with extraordinary regularity. Every e fish was perfect in its kind, and quite hot. A very h angry man might perhaps have ob jected that there wa eta want of a " piece de resistance." Tho wine was excell , so, but the grand feature of the thing is the miss en feene, the brilliant light, the num bers who sit cornfor' bly without crowding, and, above all, that recommene iation which the best restaurants in Paris want—good s ventilation. There are numbers of Oberon, 3, iron paddle, has now altered her rig to a schooner, which becomes her much. A month since she was rigged as a brig, with masts and spars heavy enough for the Penelope, and very nearly turned turtle in the steam basin. She will now be safe, and a fast and efficient vessel. Ye sterday the screw-steamer Pioneer completed load- big at ~ the Irongate Wharf, Tower ; she has On board a miscellaneous cargo of comforts and necessaries, the voluntary contributions of the public for the army in the Crimea, altogether about 700 tons. The vessel is to sail to-morrow for Balaklava. Feliza, of Bristol, Captain Tesre, sailed front Sheer ness on Wednesday in ballast for Cardiff, where she will load coals for Malta for the British Government. She is a smart vessel, and well adapted for the purpose, and will bring home a cargo of Italian oak for some of our yards. Selma, of Dantzic, Captain Rash, Las dischargil her deck-load of timber- and part of her masts in the river. She is going into Sheerness basin, where she will dis charge the remainder. We have dwelt upon the irrelevancy of the tspics of this speech at such length that we have left our selves little room to expatiate upon their inconsis tency. We are recommended to seek peace by agree ing to a resolution which would state in effect that we are weary of war, and thus encourage our enemy to raise his demands. We are told that two-thirds of the subjects of the Sultan are in favour of the Czar, and yet that the Czar is unequal to any offensive move ment. And, what is worse than:irrelevancy or con-ist ency, this great and courageous nation, which never quailed before a foe nor shrank from the side of a friend, is actually advised to quit her present position and policy, and take for her model the shallow and temporising expedients which are fast degrading Prussia from the rank of a great Power, and excluding her from the position she has hitherto held in the councils of con federate Europe. dallying with an earnest and perilous 'undertaking. The indulgence they have met with has only con firmed them in their faineantise. They asked and ob tained permission to raise and organise foreign levies, as the readiest manner to obtain seasoned soldiers for immediate service, and within these few days they had not made up their minds as to the section of the war de partment upon which the carrying that permission into effect should devolve. No effective steps have been taken to improve the organisation of the army and its auxiliary services. Nay worse, they are looking about for individuals in subordinate stations upon whom they may throw the blame of failure, and thus avert it from themselves. Yesterday the Times proceeded tl the practical application of its recent pertinacious attacks upon Lord Raglan by declaring that " the attempt to shield the generals by attacking the Ministers is simply ridiculous '• ' and if well-vouched for repor t s b e t r ue, Sir C.

Government is responsibl e for the deficiencies of the agents by whom it chooses to work, as well as for its own obstinate pe r severance in a policy of "much to do about nothing." I t is not enough that a Minister mean well ; if he cannot act Well, he is unfit for his office. The Cabinet must be r econstructed, and that by the accession of men who have not, while formerly in office, given the country lamentable p roo f s o f th e ir in capacity.

Yesterday tl ie judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, Common PleaF , and Exchequer, assembled in the Exche quer Chamber , Westminster, for the purpose of selecting the veveral ci -suits upon which they will respectively proceed to ho Id the ensuing assizes in the different coun ties of Englai id and Wales, when the following ktrrange ments were a: treed to : (Front the Times.) any mesmeric influence have If imparted Mr. the speech he was about t o d e l iver, we apprehend that few would have troubled themselv es to stand for an hour to Cobdenh ihis c on could itit u o by befor e h an d some i n kli ng o f and a half in the cold of a most inclement day to hear him. The treatment of the subject was of the most commonplace character, presenting but little ingenuity and absolutely no novelty. We must give Mr. Cobden every credit for sincerity in his attack upon war, for on no other hypothesis is it intelligible that he should place himself in opposition to the well-known opinion of his constituents ; but, were we to form an opinion from the tricky; and often shallow, rhetorical artifices he em ploys, and the manner in which arguments that can carry no conviction to his own mind are pressed into his service, we should suppose that he was the advocate of another man's conclusion rather than of his own deep and solemn conviction. He deals most copiously in remarks which tend to preju dice the judgment without convincing t h e reason, and with the concomitant circumstances and col lateral results, rather than the intrinsic merits of the question. The real subject of debate is whether it be expedient for us to put forth our strength to resist the further aggressions of Russia, and not to lay down our arms until we have obtained a peace which shall se cure to us the objects for which we took them up. Bear this steadily in mind, and then see how much of the four columns of our space which Mr. Cobden's speech occu pies was really applicable to the subject. Like a dex terous rhetorician, Mr. Cobden puts the most unpalat able topic first. We have undertaken an expensive en terprise, and must pay for it, in the disagreeable alter native of direct taxation, indirect taxation, or a loan. Mr. Cobden pronounces for direct taxation, and for an extension of its area. Re must, we think, have been rather surprised to find that his audience did not wince from his proposition, and had not, as he seems to have supposed, gone to war without counting the cost. But what had this to do with the question as above stated ? Expense is common to all ware, be they wise or foolish, just or unjust. An orator who so earnestly disclaims the peace principles which he went to Frankfort to advocate five years ago should not condescend to a topic which none but those friends of peace " who have lost all influence over prac tical minds" can consistently use. The next topic is a misrepresentation—the putting an absurdity into the mouth of his antagonist, and then triumphantly demo lishing it—a piece of rhetorical legerdemai n in which Mr. Cobden greatly delights. The member for the West Riding hardly did justice to the intelligence of 148 rr- • " jir •.• • * .. % 1`••• • • v - _ - a - / / //-7 • • ?:* 461411 L -V., ' M . 4: ft' .

A further trial of the sea service mortar, weighing more than 5 tons, throwing a 13-inch shell of 2001 b. weight, with a charge of 201 b. of powder, fitted on the principle proposed by Captain Julius Roberts, of the Royal Marine Artillery, has taken place at Shoebury ness, in the presence of several scientific officers connect ed with the service. This trial has fully established the use of this mortar (fitted as it is) for batteries, trenches, or any land fortifications, as well as afloat. Twenty rounds were fired most successfully, and in every respect satisfactorily ; the former inefficiency of the muzzle lashing-straps having been effectually remedied, 40 seconds only being required to load and fire each shell. It was found, after 20 rounds, that the body of the mortar was not in the least heated by the quick firing. COURT MARTIAL. A general court martial has been held at Woolwich upon private Pierce Farrall, alias ThOmas Boulger, of the 106th company of the Wonlwich Division of Royal Marines, upon the charges of deserting from the Royal Marires and enlisting into the East India Company's Artillery, and also for having struck a sergeant of Marines. The result of the court•martial has been for warded to the Admiralty. SHIPS AT SHEERNESS.

Yesterday the first court since St. Thomas's day (the" day of election of the Common Council) was held for the despatch of public business. The court was occupied during the greater portion of the day in the election of members to serve on its various committees. THE ROYAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO THE STATE OF THE CORPORATION. The Chairman of the Consolidated Committee, who at the last court brought up a report recommending the adoption of certain propositions, in answer to the recom mendation of the commissioners of inquiry, moved— " That the court proceed to the consideration of propo sition No. 1, ' That a new charter be issued, containing all such provisions in existing charters of the corpora tion of London; and all such customs of the City, as it may be deemed expedient to preserve.' Mr. Ross moved, and Mr. Stephenson seconded, as an amendment—" That the consideration of the report be adjourned, and that the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor be requested to convene an early court for the purpose of taking the seine into consideration." After an animated discussion, in the course of which the expediency or inexpediency of the postponement was canvassed, a chow of La- ds was taken, when the amend ment was carried by a large majority. The court then divided, when there appeared— In favour of the amendment 47 Against the amendment 2l Majority in favour of the amendment 26 The LORD MAYOR—I shall name Tuesday next as the special day on which the subject of the report shall be considered. (Hear, bear.) NEW CATTLE-MARKET, COPENHAGEN-FIELDS. Mr. YOUNG— I wish to ask my friend the chairman of the markets' improvement committee (Mr. H.L. Taylor) a very important question to the graziers and firmers— namely, whether . ttify day has yet been fixed for the opening of the new cattle-market ? The public are very much alive to the question, and the graziers, farmers, and salesmen in general are quite in the dark upon the subject. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—My Lord Mayor, I conceive this question to be one of importance net only to this court, but also to the public at large. No doubt information has gone abroad that we purposed opening the market on the 26th of this month. Now, it should be under stood that the corporation have not the power of fixing the day for opening the market. That matter rests ex clusively with the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Home department. We did hope and yet hope to be ready for the opening on the 26th, sufficiently ready for the business to be carried on. At the present mo ment we have before the Home Secretary our rules and regulations, which have to be perused and sanctioned by his lordship previous to his determination as to the new market ; and it would be well, perhaps, that I should read to the court the clause in the act of Parliament which gives his lordship the power of fixing the day. It is the 10th clause of the act under which we are build ing the new market, and it says : " When the commissioners have provided the market places, slaughterhouses, and conveniences hereinbefore authorised to be provided, and fixed such table of tolls and payments as aforesaid, and appointed the market day., and done all other acts which may appear to them neces sary previously to the opening of the said market-places and slaughterhouses, they shall report to one of her Ma jesties principal secretaries of State what they have done concerning the premises, and shall annex to such report a copy of the table if tolls and payments fixed as aforesaid. And it shall be lawful for such Secretary of State to fix a time for the opening of the said markets and slaughter houses; and by a notice under his hand, to be published in the London Gazette, to notify that such market-places and slaughterhouses havei been provided, and the time when the same will be opened; and that from the time so mentioned Smithfield-market will cease to be a market for the sale of cattle and horses ; and from and after the time mentioned in such notice Smithfield-market shall cease to be a market for the sale of cattle or horses, and markets for the sale of cattle, horses, and meat shall be holden in the respective places under this set ; and such markets shall be deemed to be public markets ; and a new market for the sale of cattle or horses shall be opened in the City of London or Westminster, or the liberties thereof, or the borough of Southwark, or at any place distant less than seven miles in a straight line from St. Paul's Cathedral, in the City of London.' I may take this opportunity of stating, that looking at the magnitude of the task undertaken by the committee, with the assistance of an able and efficient officer, the architect, no work of equal magnitude has been brought so near its completion in the same space of time as that in which we have embarked. (Hear, hear.) I think that the greatest possible credit is due to the architect for producing such a magnificent building as the new cattle market : and I hope that the members of the corpora tion will themselves take the opportunity of inspecting the works as they are progressing, when I am sure they will be satisfied, not only that the committee have done their duty, but they will be enabled to form an estimate of the merit belonging to the chief officer, who has been carrying them out. (Hear.) Mr. YOUNG—Have you done all that is required by the act Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—The rules and regulations are before the Home secretary, and he has to appoint the day. We have not called to see his lordship upon the subject, and until we have been we shall not know the day. spent Deputy LOTT—WiII the chairman of the committee inform the court what sum the market has cost in roun d e have numbers notup to this more time l Mr. H. L. T AYLOR —AII I can say i s, t h at at present w money than has been authorised by the court. I have no doubt that the court will knew quite soon enough when additional money will be re quired. (Laughter.) Mr. MuneEen—About what will have been the pro bable cost when it is finished ! Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—That will depend entirely, as my friend must well know, upon the works carried out. We may carry them out to any extent, but they will ' depend entirely upon the orders of the court. LONDON CORPORATION REFORM. WARD OF FARRINGDON-WITHOUT. Last evening a meeting of the inhabitants of this ward was held in the New Court, Old Bailey, at six o'clock, for the purpose of discussing the question of corporate reform for the City of London, as proposed by the con solidated committee of the Court of Common Council. The chair was occupied by Sir James Duke, M.P., alderman of the ward. The CHAIR3IAN having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. TouLanN SMITH proceeded to address the meeting in a speech of very great length, in the course of which he commented upon and analysed the propositions recommended by the consolidated committee. Amongst these he particularly denounced the following recom mendations :—" That a new charter be issued, contain ing all such provisions in existing charters of the cor poration of London, and all such customs of the City, as it may be deemed expedient to preserve ; that the Lord Mayor be elected by the Common Council, from the common councillors, or from persons qualified to be common councillors ; that the aldermen be elected by the burgesses of the wards for six years, and be re eligible, and that they be justices of the peace during their term of office ; that the powers of the Municipal Corporations Act with respect to the appointment of stipendiary magistrates be extended to the corporation of London ; that the Court of Aldermen be abolished, and that its functions be transferred to the Common Council ; that the number of wards be reduced to some number not less than twelve, nor greater than sixteen ; that each ward return one alderman and five common councilmen to the Common Council, and that their qualification be that prescribed by the Municipal Corporation Act for the larger class of boroughs—namely, the possession of real or personal estate of 10001., or being rated on as annual value of at least 301. ; that the elections in Com mon Hall be abolished ; that the sheriffs be elected by the Common Council ; that the fellowship of porters be dissolved ; that the admission of b ro k ers b y t h e C ourt c er n P s r t a e t n e cdconcluded with t he metropolitan of Aldermen be n abolished ; a n d th a t t h e City police be byietrmopooving litantphoelice.' followingTh The learned gentleman resolu tion.n : 7 " That this war d meet i ng v i ews w i t h surpr i se t h e between the contents of a report of the consolidated committee of the Common Council, dated the 13th December, 1854, and those of a report of a committee of the whole court, dated 22d February, 1854, and which last was agreed to by that court on the 24th February, 1854 ; and this ward meeting considers the suggestions contained in last-named report to be, for the most part, sound in principle, constitutional in charac ter, and practical in detail." The resolution was seconded by Mr. SEELEY. Mr. QUIRK and Mr. HERAYATH moved the following amendment to the original resolution : —" That this ward meeting request their representatives in the Court of Common Council to give their cordial and steady support to the proposed alterations in the corporation as oon tained in the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the Corporation in 1853, and in the report of the consolidated committee of this cor poration, reported to the Court of Common Council Dec. 20, 1854." In the course of a lengthened discussion, Mr. Potter supported the original resolution ; whilst the amendment was approved of by Mr. Gresham, Mr. Masterman, and Mr. Acland, who ridiculed the idea of leaving the cor poration to reform itself, as, he insisted, was the course contended for by the proposer and seconder of the origi nal resolution. Mr. SEELEY, in explanation, denied that ho was fa vourablo to the idea of allowing the corporation to refo rm itself. He was anxious for the intervention of legisla tion on the subject, and therefore preferred, as the basis of that legislation, the recommendations o f th e w h o l e Court of Common Council, rather than those of a com mittee of that body. After a brief reply from Mr. SMITH, The CHAIRMAN put the question to the meeting, when, on a show of hands, there appeared—for the amend ment 35, for the original motion 28. The amendment was accordingly declared carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro. ceedinge, ,/ 2:3; 701. )st. mt. )Qt. mt. )St. psi. now• at.
