MONEY MLARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market, on Saturday, closed heavily, without change in prices from the current rates of Friday. The sales were 6,000 bales ; comprising 4,700 Americans (500 of which were purchased for export), 80 Pernam and IViarau ham, at 6id. to 60. ; 20 Bahia, at 60. ; 200 Egyptian, at 50. to 7d. ; and 1,000 Surat (500 for export), at 3FI. to 48d. per lb. The Railway Share Market continued to improve, and prices of the leading stocks were fully per cent. above the quotations of Friday. Upon the subject of the Manchester trade during the past month, Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhowe, and Irving, report as follows : "Notwithstanding the existence of large orders at the close of the precedirg month, and a demand actually in operation at the beginning of the present one, only in terrupted by the fall of Sebastopol, which induced many spinners and manufacturers to ask much higher and im practicable values, the claims of the producers were not realised, as may be imagined, from the first action of the Bank of England, and its successive operations necessarily creating a strong influence upon the value of cotton, which may be considered id. to ad. per lb. lower than it was at the beginning of the month, and as a consequence also influencing the productions of this dis trict in regard to values. The advanced price of money, which had generally been calculated upon, has so far, been productive alone of limited operations, and a wholesome caution in the way of inducing operators to confine them more strictly to prudent limitations. This baying been the custom here for some time past —say during the last two years—no apprehension whatever is being entertained as to a panic. The trade of the country was never supposed to be in a more healthful position, so far as regards its basis, no speculative ope rations having been entered into. It is, however, true that many of the producing districts, and more particu larly this locality, are not, so far as the producers are concerned, very remunerative." The New York advices are favourable with re spect to trade, and the large orders received out for grain were likely to bring back liberal com mission for the purchase of manufactures. As usual, the Greek houses are first in the field. The letters and papers by the Overland Mail, via Marseilles, were delived to-day. The informa tion furnished is unfavourable with regard to mercantile affairs. Money at Calcutta was tight, and trade dull. The subject of making gold and silver a legal tender was being mooted, which, if effected, would afford great relief to the money mar ket. The arrivals from Europe were large ; and it is necessary for shippers hence to exercise increased caution, as the demand for manufactures was lan guid and without any immediate prospect of im provement. At Bombay the prices of textile fabrics were nominal, though for cotton yarn there was a steady inquiry. From Calcutta we learn that, notwithstanding the heavy rains that had fallen, the indigo season was expected to be an average one. Money at Bombay, during the last fortnight, had ruled somewhat easier, and lower rates were charged. The import market here also was dull. On account of the absence of rain fears were enter tained that the grain harvest would be deficient. In some of the Upper Scinde districts the inunda tions had done injury to cultivation, especially in Nowsh era. The English Stock Market presents a very list less appearance in the absence of speculative deal ings, although the more favourable foreign news, the satisfactory Revenue Returns, and the improve ment on the Paris Bourse might have been ex pected to have promoted an upward tendency in values. On the contrary, however, the market since the commencement of business is considered to have become flatter. Tho account is Bearish. Consols for money have ruled all this morning at 881 to and are down since to 88k g. The New 21 per Cent. Annuities are quoted 74. India Stock is worth 229. Exchequer Bills are 3s. discount to ls. premium. Consols for the 12th inst. have been dealt in at 88i g, and are now 881. The chief interest of the Foreign Market is the variation in Turkish Bonds. They opened well, but have receded about per cent. since, being 861 87, and now 86i The Scrip is 11 to 11 discount. It opened at 1i to la discount. Peruvian 4i per Cents. have been 75k, and Deferred at 561. Brazi lian Stock has been at par. Sardinian Bonds are 831. Spanish steady, at 19k. French 3 per Cent. Scrip has risen being 11 to 11 pm. - The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20 ; Mexi can, 24 to 21 a Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 75 to 77 ; ditto Three per Cents., 55 to 57 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 97 to 99 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half Per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish Deferred Bonds, an to - 38 i ;'ditto Three per Cents., 191 to 19/ ; ditto Certificates, 41 to 41 ; ditto Passive, 44 to 5.

West Durham Railway Shares are very quiet, and without any change of importance in the quotations, although at the present moment they are generally heavy, more from the paucity of dealers, however, than from any other cause. Paris and Lyons are firmer, and also Antwerp and Rotterdam. Great Western of Canada are steady. Mines and Banks are firm. Canada Land are at Saturday's prices. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.-CLOSING PRICES.

G a i s ford, Dean of Christ Ch u r c h Between four and five o'clock yesterday morning fire broke out in the extensive pile of premises of Mr. J. H. Wisohhusen, skin-dresser, in Lamb-alley, Sun-street , Bishopsgate. The premises contained a gree k t amount of stook ; in fact, the workshops, sheds, and drying-rooms were well filled. The fire commenced in the building, nearly 100 feet long by 50 wide. Police-constable John Crawley, of the City police, first discovered it, raised an . immediate alarm, and aroused the family of Mr. Wisch husen just as the dwelling-house caught fire. Iu the course of a few minutes the two powerful engines from Whitecroasntreet arrived, under the command of Engi neer Baylis, and several others, under the superinten dence of Mr. Fogo, with the Royal Society fire-escapes. A good supply of water being obtained the engines got to work in an admirable manner ; but by that time the flames were rising high in the air, illuminating the whole of the eastern portion of the metropolis, and bringing out in bold relief the steeples of the churches in the neighbourhood. In spite of the copious streams of water thrown on the burning pile the fire continued, and it was some hours before it was subdued. A strong body of City police, under the direction of Messrs. Howard and Brennan, of the G division, rendered essential ser vice in assisti ng th e fi remen . As to the cause of the fire nothing could be ascertained. The loss will fall on the Putd.-inAluid and Phoenix Fire Oftlces. SHARE MARKE TS. i (THIS DAY.) RAILWAYS. 10101111111 Prices this day. RAILWAYS. Aberdeen .....,...... Ambg. Nottng. Bost. , and Eastn.

After an address from the Chairman, the grand jury retired to their room. The calendar is very light. Nothing of the slightest in terest occurred up to the time of our report leaving. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. CUTTING AND WOUNDING. —Edmund Wheeler was charged with cutting and wounding in the arm and leg Walter Colson, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor deposed that he and the prisoner oc cupied the same bed and room at 9, Printing-house lane. Last night, between 11 and twelve o'clock, he (prosecutor) returned to his home and found the pri soner lying across the bed, with his clothes on• As he was looking for a candle he said to the prisoner, " you get into bed !" immediately on which the prisoner rose off the bed, rushed at prosecutor, and inflicted two wounds on his arm, and two on his leg, with a sharp instrument, but from its being dark he was unable to say with what it was done. Prosecutor rushed to the door and ran down stairs, calling for assistance, followed by the prisoner, who sat down on the stairs, and asked one of the lodgers, who had been aroused by his cries, what he had done. Prosecutor then went to the hos pital, and had his wounds sewn up. He had never quarrelled with the prisoner. He did not think the pri soner was sober at the time, Police-constable 333 was called "to the above house about half-past 10 o'clock this morning, when the prisoner was given into custody by the prosecutor. lie was then in bed, and appeared to be asleep. He aroused him, when he appeared very much intoxicated. Witness searched the room and found five razors there, four in two cases, and ono out of case. He examined them, but saw no traoes of blood ou them. A case knife was found in the prisoner's pocket, but no marks of blood on it ; no blood was found in the room. The prisoner, who appeared to have only a confused idea of what occurred last night, was remanded till Thursday next. fVillcdnz Stertrfield, a Prussian, was charged with absenting himself from Stettin, stealing 5001., and also with forging bills to the amount of 2,0001., and ern. bezzeling bills of lading. The charge was preferred by Mr. Salomon Pollock, merchant, 19, Mincing-lane, by whom the prisoner Was formerly employed. The case had not concluded When our despatch left. THAMES. SAVAQII ASSAULT ON A WOISAN.-•••RObert Tondinsore, potman at the Sun and Anchor ;public-house, St. Dun stan's-hill, City, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a dreadful assault on Eliza Jones, a married woman, who is six months advanced in pregnancy, and who has received such a fearful injury that it is feared she will not survive. Inspector Wenkford, of the II division, put in a me dical certificate, of which the following is a copy : "This is to certify that I have visited Eliza Jones, of No. 15, Buckle-street, Whitechapel, and I find her suf fering from great pain, being in an advanced stage of pregnancy. John Lane, for Charles T. Blackman, sur geon, High-street, Whitechapel. September 30, 1855." The inspector also stated that he took the prisoner to the bedside of the injured woman, and she identified him as the person who kicked her. It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Jones and her husband went into the Tabard public-house in High street, Whitechapel, last night, to obtain some refresh ment. The prisoner was there, and, without provoca tion, he put his hand over the woman's face. She asked him what he meant by such conduct, on which he made use of an imprecation, and deliberately struck her with his knee on the lower part of her person. She uttered an exclamation of pain, and fell b ac k war d s in sensible. The brutal scoundrel was immediately se oured, and handed over to the police. He had been drinking, but knew well what he was about. When the prisoner was introduced into the woman's bed-room for the purpose of identifying him, she said, "If it was the last word I had to speak, he is the man who kicked me with his knee, and I am afraid it will be the death of me." Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week. DARING STREET RoBBSRY. —Robert Bryant, a well known desperate thief, well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a purse, containing 14s. 6d. from Mrs. Louisa Warner, wife of a shoe manufacturer, of No. 93, Upper East Smithfield. Mrs. Warner stated that on Wednesday last, in the middle of the day, she was passing along Dock-street, Whitechapel, near the Sailors' Home, in company with tler sister. The prisoner was standing at the corner 91 a court, and as she passed him he rushed forward and snatched the porte-monnaie, which contained 14.. 6d. in silver, from her right hand, and before she could re cover from her surprise he ran down a court. She called out " Stop thief," but none of the people in the court endeavoured to stop him, but made a passage for him, and stopped her from pursuing him. She gave imme diate information to the police. The prisoner, who put on an appearance of surprise, said he did not commit the robbery, but he knew who did. A young man stole the purse, and a boy he knew had 2s. of the money. Elizabeth Chapman, sister of the proseoutrix, identified the prisoner as the person who stole her sister's purse. William Savage, a police constable, No. 212 H, said he took the prisoner into custody on Saturday night, and told him it was for stealing a lady's purse. The pris one said he was not the thief, but he knew who did it. He saw the prisoner at the corner of a court in Dock-street on Monday and Tuesday. Since Wednesday, the prisoner, who bad long hair before, had cut it very short indeed. The prisoner had been summarily convicted more than once. Roche, the gaoler—The prisoner was convicted of felony eight years ago. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial. SOUTHWARK. AN IMPUDENT AND DARING ROBBERY AT A CHEESE MONGER'S.—James Leblond, a coloured man, well known to the police as a notorious thief, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing a firkin of butter from the shop of John Wiltshire, cheesemonger, No. 111, Dover-road. The prosecutor stated that, about half-past 10 o'clock on Saturday night, he was attending to a customer at the end of the shop when he perceived a firkin of butter mysteriously removed from near the doorway. He in stantly went round the counter and went out, when he saw the firkin of butter lying on the ground, and the prisoner, who was running away, was pointed out to him as the party who bad stolen it. He pursued him into Kent-street, and saw him taken into custody. Police-constable 148 M said he was on duty in Kent street on Saturday night, when he saw the prisoner run ning towards him, followed by the prosecutor calling out " Stop, thief," and " Police." Witness caught hold of him, and after considerable resistance he secured him and took him to the station-house. In answer to the charge the prisoner said he knew nothing more about the firkin of butter than a man ask ing him to lift it on his back. Mr. A'Beckett, hearing that he was a bad character, committed him for one month for the unlawful possession of the butter. SPORTING NOTES. CHANCES FOR CHESTER.-BITS ABOUT BEDFORD. By a large majority of turfites the "Autumn Meeting" which will be celebrated at the antiente citie of Chester to-morrow and Wednesday will be regarded with indif ference. Its attractions are counteracted and diminished by the near approach of the Cesarewitch, but they wil nevertheless have sufficient power to command the atl tention and patronage of the sporting men of Cheshire and the neighbouring counties. Twelve items are dis tributed over the programme, handicaps, as usual, form ing the most prominent " features" in the list. Bright Phcebus, Schamyl, and Mai' of Cadiz are favourably weighted for the " Shorts," and should they start they may catch the judge's eye in the order in which their names are set down. Chicken ought to experience no difficulty in carrying off the Mostyn Stakes. For the Innkeepers' Plate Sir Rowland Trenchard and Master Slender are the most attractive nominations. Forty three two-year-olds are entered for the Alma Stakes, but the field is likely to be very limited. Despite his extra weight I shall expect to see Stork the winner. To select a lot of animals "well in" for the Chester Handicap would be easy enough, but to indicate, with any certainty, the probah!e winner is somewhat difficult. No information can yet be obtained relative to the intended starters, and the little betting which has yet taken place on the race affords no trustworthy clue as to the numerical strength of the field. Should The Chicken be " wanted " he will be difficult to beat. Pole Star belongs to the same stable, and it is not improbable that an accommodating arrangement will be made be tween the owners of the two horses. Lord 'Alfred is leniently handicapped, and if his owner does not intend to reserve him exclusively for the Cambridgeghire he will be worthy of some consideration for this event. John Osborne, however, may let Lady Tatton represent his interest. The ether noteworthy three-yrs-old is Imogene. Of the heavy weights my preference is for Alonzo and Bright Phmbus. Calculating upon a start, I ball select Imogene and The Chicken to fill the foremost places, reserving John Osborne's " intended " for a cockboat. Baroda, Thames Ditton, and First Fly are entitled to notice for the Wynnstay Handicap. Plumpton Maid ought to win the Grand Stand Handicap ; in her default, King of the Gipsies may be the ruling favourite. The Bedford meeting has scarcely received any per ceptible advantage from the alteration in the time of holding it. The sport is likely to be neither plentiful nor interesting. Should the Fpeedy little Ceres put in an appearance for the Two-Year•Old Stakes, she will doubtless be the winner. In her absence I shall place trust in Maid of the Morn. The Bedfordshire Stakes I assign to Cock Pheasant. The Scurry Handicap may be won by either New Brighton or Para. Oct. 1. A FRESH MAN. The following horses have arrived at Chester—Stork, Simon Pure, Little Davie, Parum, Seducer, and Maid of Cadiz. NEITMARENT, Monday—The following leave hero for Chester—Jenny Wren and Siding. The following leave here for Bedford—Weathercock, Para, and Mr. Vadant Green. Arrived from France—Alonarque and Peu d'Espoir. Black Swan will not run at Chester. Charles Marlow, the jockey who met with so unfor tunate an accident while riding Nettle in the Oaks, begs to caution the public against some person residing at Bath, who has made use of his name in an advertisement in " Bell's Life " of Saturday last. Marlow has not yet been able to leave Epsom, but is now progressing very favourably. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Octt. I.—Wind this day at noon, S.W. ; light breeze and fine.

There was rather more firmness in the wheat trade in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices were well supported. Barley movedoff readily, at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter, and all other articles of grain had an upward tendency. The lai - e3t advices from New York bring a firmer de mand for wheat and flour. A check has at length been given to the upward movement in the French markets. In the lower Baltic ports wheat is selling at very high rates. The arrivals of English wheat up to our market last week were steadily on the increase. From abroad we received 8,530 quarters of wheat, 20,421 oats, 5 rye, 1,129 beans, 150 peas, 51 tares, 2,410 linseed, 2,914 rapeseed, 238 sundry seeds, 2,739 sacks and 5,343 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our markets today the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were moderate, and chiefly composed of the new crop in fair condition- The show of samples, from a good clearance being effected on Friday, was by no means extensive. On the whole the attendance of millers was good, and the demand for most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last. There was scarcely any old wheat on sale, and the stocks appear to be almost wholly exhausted. The show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary, was but moderate. There was very little inquiry for this article, either for home consumption or export. Holders, however, were very firm, and in the few sales effected last week's prices were well supported. Over 8,000 quarters were re-exported last week, chiefly to France. Floating cargoes were firm, but not dearer. The few samples of barley in the market changed hands at very full prices. The malt trade was very firm at the extreme rates of last week. The supply of foreign oats being on the increase the oat trade was less active, yet wa have no change to notice in the quotations. Beans moved off freely at very full prices. There was a good inquiry for peas, at extreme rates. The flour trade was by no means active on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Stock is still unusually high in all parts of France. There was a fair average supply of foreign stock in to day's market, but its general quality was inferior. Tho arrivals of stock from Ireland last week, direct by sea, wore only 32 beasts. To-day there were on sale 160 beasts and 2,500 sheep, from Dublin and Cork, via, Liver pool. Their condition was first-rate. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were but moderate, and mostly in ferior. All breeds met a steady demand, at Friday's ad vance in the quotations of 2d per Subs. The best Scots were worth quite 4s 10d per Slbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,600 short horns, and from other parts of England 500 of various breeds. We had no fresh ar rivals from Scotland. With sheep we were but moderately supplied, and we observed no improvement in their general condition. All breeds sold freely at 2d per 81bs above the currencies ob tained ou Monday last, and a good clearance was effected. The best old Downs realised 5s 2d per 81bs. _ . _ The veal trade was not quite so•brisk as on Friday, yet the quotations were 2d per Sibs higher than on this day se'nnight. The supply was moderate, and the top price was 5s 2d per 81bs. There was a good demand for pigs, the supply of which was good, and the quotations had au upward tendency.

WOOL. The further advance in the value of money has operated against the demand for all kinds of home grown wool , - Prices, however, are supported. In foreign and colonial qualities, owing to the approaching public sales—at which about 35,000 bales will be offered—very little is doing, at late rates. Last week's imports were 96 bales from Ant werp, 1,632 from Sydney, 21 from Hamburg,2s from Havre, 617 from Geelong, and 1,284 from Portland Bay, Tho following are the current rates of English wool ; South Down flocks is Oid to is lid ; mixed tegs and ewes, is lid to is 34d ; half-bred hoggets, is 2Ad to is 3 d ; do. fine, is ld to is 12d; Lei ewes and wethers, is ld to is 2d ; Swinton fleeces, mixed, is ld to is lid; Ken t, caster fleeces, is 0!(1 to is id; fla nnel wool, is Od t o i s 3d ; blanket wool, 81d to is 0.3 d per lb.

ST. GEORGE'S IN THE EAST. Mr. A. Pulling, one of the commissioners appointed to set out the wards and apportion the ♦estrymen in the various parishes, held an adjourned meeting, at the ves try room attached to the Church, on Friday. Among those present were the rector of the parish, the Rev. Ryan King; the churchwardens, Messrs. Wil son and Fairclough ; Mr. Howell, the vestry clerk ; Mr. Stone, clerk to the trustee ; and a large number of the principal inhabitants of the parish. The COMMISSIONER, in opening the proceedings, ob served that on the last occasion it had become necessary to adjourn the meeting, in order that the question of whether the compounders were, under the local and general acts of Parliament, to be considered rated house holders, and to ascertain the exact number, if possible, in the parish. By the returns furnished him, he found that 1,964 persons were rated to the poor-rate, but in the mean time a question bad arisen as to whether any other rates existed which would bring the persons rated under them into the category of rated householders. A long conversation then ensued, in the course of which the Vestry Clerk stated that there were five paving boards under the local act existing in the parish, but whose jurisdiction was extended over portions of other parishes. The utmost number that he could make, even supposing all the persons included in those paving rates were rated householders, would be 2,005, or only eight above the number required by the act, and there was considerable doubt whether they could be deemed rated householders. The COMMISSIONER said, he had not a doubt that the intention of the framer of the act of Parliament was that the number of vestrymen should depend on the number of inhabited houses, and that opinion was further con firmed by the sth clause, which enacted that if at any time the number of " inhabited" houses by the census returns be shown to have greatly increased in any par. ticular ward, a re-distribution of the vestrymen might take place on the petition of the vestry or inhabitants of the ward to the Metropolitan Board of Works. The VESTRY CLERK said, he had no means of giving an accurate return respecting the rating under the different paving boards. The COMMISSIONER remarked that it appeared from the Registrar-General's returns that there was over 6,000 houses, and he was bound to assume, unless the contrary was shown, that the number of rated householders were far greater than 2,000. If he was unable to inspect the books he was bound to take the best information he could get. The VESTRY CLERIC said that, unless he could ascer tain the exact amount from the books of the paving boards, he should not feel inclined to certify that the re turn was an accurate one. Mr. STONE called attention to the 18th clause, which provided that persons should be rated to the poor 12 months, and contended that, unless they were on the poor rate-book they could not be deemed rated house holders. The COMMISSIONEII said that that might be good as against persons claiming to vote, but could not affect them being treated for this purpose as rated house holders. After a lengthened discussion upon the construction of the act with respect to this particular point, The COMMISSIONER observed that as there were 1,964 persons returned as rated householders by the Vestry Clerk, without taking into account persons rated under the different paving boards, and who, in his opinion, were equally entitled to be treated as rated householders, be had no kind of doubt that the number of rated house holders in the whole parish would greatly exceed 2,000, and that, therefore, it was his duty to divide the parish into wards. The Vestry CLERK reminded the Commissioner that the whole number of rated householders he could make out, including the persons who paid rates to the paving boards, were only 2,008, and that 30 or 40 houses had been pulled down for the railway since the time when those returns were made. Mr. Herbert remarked that most of those houses were farmed property, and he did not think it could have been the intention of Sir B. Hall or of Parliament, that in a parish possessing so many as 6,000 houses, so many of them should be unrepresented, and that the number of vestrymen should be so contracted. A very long discussion then ensued, when gThe COMMISSIONER observed that, acting on the data which had been furnished to him, he should certainly divide the parish into wards, as h e could not conceive any other than that it contained a much larger number than was required by the act. It was quite true that he had no power to summon witnesses, or even to in spect the parish books, which was a great deficiency in the act, but he had no doubt that the fire paving boards would have no objection to furnish him, on application, with the actual number of the persons rated by them, and it must be remembered that if he did not divide it when it ought to have been divided, the proceedings would be equally as illegal as if it were improperly divided. It would be absolutely necessary to adjourn the present meeting to get the actual statistics of the parish, as well as the number of persons rated under the poor-rate assessment. Various questions were asked as to the qualification and other matters, which The COMMISSIONER declined to answer at present, but he said, would be settled by the case which bad been submitted to the law officers of the Crown, with whom he was to consult. The meeting was again adjourned. MILE-END OLD TOWN. Mr. A. PULLING, after concluding his proceeding at St. George's-in-the-East on Friday, proceeded to Mile end Old Town, where he completed the assignment of vestrymen for that parish. Amongst those present were Mr. Southwell, Vestry Clerk ; Messrs. Patten and Stephenson, Churchwardens; Messr... Moody, Lemon, and South, Overseers ; Messrs. Badderley, Newton, Jenkins, Franois Hollingsworth, Beetton, &c. The COMMISSIONER, in opening the proceedings, ob served that since the last meeting he had examined the map and the returns, and ho was of opinion that the wards, as agreed to be altered at the last meeting, were the most suitable which could be devised for . the pur pose. In reply to a queetion from Mr. Newton, The COMMISSIONER said ho was bound to treat those only as rated whose names appeared on the rate-book. Mr. HOLLINGSWORTH asked whether the persons rated for pipes, &c., were included ? The COMMISSIONER replied that they were set out in the proper column as companies rated. Mr. JENKINS inquired whether those who claimed under Sir W. Clay's act were entitled to be considered as rated householders The COMMISSIONER said that he was bound to include not only those who were rated to the poor-rate, but to any other parochial rate, and include them as rated householders accordingly. After some further conversation, The COMMISSIONER, having made the necessary cal culations, declared the number of vestrymen in each ward as follows : Ward No. 1, or Central \Yard Ward No. 2, or North Ward l5 Ward No. 3, or East Ward l2 Ward No. 4, or East Ward Ward No. 5, or South Ward Total number of vestrymen The corrected returns for the various wards were as follows : Ward No. I.—Rated householders, 1,463 ; persons rated, 1,731 ; rateable value, 39,0081. Ward No. 2.—Rated householders, 1,463 ; rated per sons, 1,199 ; rateable value, 29,3531. Ward No. 3.—Rated householders, 705; persons rated to the relief of the poor, 777 ; rateable value, 22,2851. Ward No. 4, or West Ward.—Rated householders, 1,472; persons rated, 1,597; rateable value, 33,3301. Ward No. 5, or South Ward.—Rated householders, 1,486 ? persons rated, 1,656 ; rateable value, 34,859/ . The COMMISSIONER then announced that the whole of w th o e uld wa be wards for ade the by the business 'which had to do with the parish, relating r e , an d be furnished to to the division and appoHinit.smaew_natrod.f the Vestry t p h al e is l h dth was of c rct p o l b e e t Clerk. In reply to a suggestion from th e V estry Clerk, The CommosioNkft thought that the possession of a ma p, with the boundaries of the new wards laid out, would be extremely valuable, and he thought the ex pense of procuring it lithographed might be very well defrayed under the 158th section. He must say that the ma p shown to him was an admirable map. Some discussion then took questions raised in the course of the Commissioner's in quiry, to which the same answer was returned as at for mer meetings • and, a vote of thanks having been ten dered to Mr Pulling for his very able conduct in dividing the parish, The COMMISSIONER, in reply, observed that he was glad to find that the act had given so much satisfaction in the different parishes in which he had presided. In his opinion, it supplied a great desideratum, as it intro , - duced a perfect system of local self-government in the metropolis, which had hitherto presented a remarkable anomaly to other towns in the kingdom in that respect, it having up to the present time been a complete chaos. He thought Sir B. Hall had conferred a great boon on the metropolis by the introduction of this measure, and hoped that all interested would do their utmost to carry it out. The meeting then adjourned, and the proceedings, na far as this parish is concerned, were concluded.
