Intelligence has reached us from the Baltic fleet which will no doubt be read with The deepest indignation throughout the civilised world. It is to the effect that the Russians have murdered in cold blood a boat's crew who were engaged in landing at Hangos, under a flag of truce, a party of Russian prisoners. Such is the substance of the intelligence which has reached us by electric telegraph ; for further particulars we must await the slower movements of the post. .We fear, however,' that the news must 14., accep:ed as true. We are informed that 24 men have been killed, three of whom were oftcers, and that out of the boat's crew only one survived. Mb very names of the unfortunate gentlemen who have 'fallen victims to the dastardly attack while engaged in an errand of charity and mercy are given by our correspondent. Any hope, therefore, that this shameful occurreu , !e can be at all explained away into anything less tragical is slight indeed. This is just a second edition of Sinope on a small scale. The Russian ships of war cannot be trusted away from the protec tion of their shore batteries ; their crews cannot be brought to meet the allies in fair contest; but when there is question of making an onslaught upon a small boat which is advanc ing to meet them under the protection of a flag of truce, who so brave and so terrible as these heroes of shal low water and stone walls I The experience of the Euxine has been thrown away upon these champions of the Baltic. They might have remembered that, flattering as the massacre of Sinope might be to their national vanity, it has been fearfully avenged. Even now, when this fresh act of barbarity has been perpetrat e d, th e drag-net is being drawn closer and closer round the heads of their countrymen in the Crimea. It would cost the allied commanders but a word, and a hundred Russians could be put to death for every one of these unfortunate Englishmen who have been so treacher ously and inhumanly murdered. The game, we should imagine, is far from a safe one as far as the Russians are con cerned, oven if the Generals and Admirals of the allies en deavour to prevent reprisals. It will bo difficult to restrain the passions and the hands of men flushed with victory, who are burning with indignation at the thought Vaal their country men have been literally murdered in a most barbarous man ner by the countrymen of those whose lives have been left at their mercy by the fortune of war. The English have not yet acted upon the system of reprisals even when provoked by the assassination of their wounded soldiers on the battle-fields of the Crimea. It would seem as though the Russians were determined to carry provocation to its highest point —an un safe idea at the present critical moment *if the Crimean cam paign, when so many Russian towns are at the mercy of the allies. 65th Foot—Arthur Henry Lewis, Gent., to be Ensign, without purchase. 67th Foot—To be Ensigns, without purchase—Robert Reginald Luard, Gent. ; Edmund Henry Lenon, Gent. 79th Foot—Lieut.

The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs at St. Petersburg has recently put in circulation a statement purpgrting to ho a representation of a communication made by Captain Watson, of her Majesty's ship Imperieuse, to the Russian authorities at Baltic port, in one clause of which Captain Watson is al leged to have notified " that foreign, that is to say, neut ra l vessels, which mi g ht a t th a t ti me b e in Baltic port, might quit the port, but only in ballast, or with cargoes which might not be Russian property ;" and from this represent t tion of the notification made by Captain Watson, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs draws, and publishes as a warning to neutrals, the inference that the British Government has abandoned the principle proclaimed last year by her Majesty, in her declaration of the 28th of March last, that " her Ma jesty will waive the right of seizing enemy's property laden on board a neutral vessel, unless it bo contraband of war." In another passage of the statement of the Imperial Minis try of Foreign Affairs Captain Watson is represented to have declared, in answer to the inquiry whether neutral vessels allowed by him to depart from Baltic Port after the establish ment of the blockade, in ballast or wi th cargoes, would be at liberty to pursue their voyage without risk of being detained by any of her Majesty's cruisers which they might fall in with at sea, that he could not undertake that such would be the case, inasmuch as the admiral commanding the British fleet might hereafter make other arrangements. Her Majesty', Government are not surprised that such a publication on the part of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs at St. Petersburg has been the cause of some anxiety to neutral powers, who could not reasonably suppose that the Imperial Government of Russia would resort to the ex pedient of misrepresenting a notification made to Russian authorities on a point so deeply interesting to the commerce of states in amity with Russia. Fortunately for the cause of truth, and for the relief of neutral powers from the embarrassment which the statement put forth by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs was calculated to occasion, her Majesty's ship Imperieuse is at the present moment in Portsmouth harbour, having been obliged to return to England to repair damages sustained by her in a collision with another of her Majesty's ships in the Baltic. Her Majesty's Government have therefore had the opportunity of communicating directly with Captain Watson, and of ascertaining from him exactly what passed on the occasion in question ; and neutral nations will learn that the Imperial Government of Russia has published to the world, as true, a statement which, as well as the inference that the , Imperial Government has drawn from it, is wholly un founded. That the Russians are ashamed of those sanguinary proceed ings when they are brought before the notice of the civilised world we fully believe. They are so far ashamed of them that they endeavour to explain them away. They would en joy at the same time the satisfaction of slaughtering a defence less foe, and that of a character for humanity-and good feel ing. We have little doubt that this disgraceful occurrence will be treated as a trifling mistake :—" The officer in com mand had not observed he flag of truce, or, if he had observed it, he mistook it for a signal of defiance. Was there not rea son for the most energetic measures when a *see small boat pulled in to the Russian coast ? This was evidently not the time for hesitation or delay. The empire must be saved, at whetever cost of human life. At such a moment it was im possible to think of parley, or to warn the intruders back. Had the handful of men in the Cossack's boat succeeded in effecting a 1 inding, the consequence to the defence of Cron stadt might have been of the most alarming description." It will, however, be a little difficult to give any satisfactory ex planatio of such an occurrence as this. A small boat, carry ing a flag of truce, in broad.daylight, is pulled on to the Rus sian coast, whereupon the crew aro summarily fired upon with most fatal effect. Even if they could succeed in establishing a doubt as to their knowledge that the boat was covered by a flag of truce, it would still remain a most sanguinary stain upon their military escucheon that the Russians deliberately fired upon so small a boat without giving the crew the option of surrender. This is making war a la Cosaque with a witness, and no doubt the Russians will ere long get the benefit of their vigour. As the first fruits of their system of action they will, no doubt, enjoy fOr the future a perfect immunity from flags of trace and the restora tion of prisoners. (Prom the Morning Herald of this day.) Last night Mr. Layard moved in the House of Commons his long-promised resolution on the subject of administrative reform and unfolded his pl an f or ac hi ev i ng t h at very desir able object before a large and attentive house. The scope of the reform projected by the member for Aylesbury is, at all events, sufficiently extensive. It embraces the army, the navy, the diplomatic, and the consular and civil services. In all of these departments he has discovered inherent disorder, and for each of them he has suggested such improvements 83 he thinks calculated to remedy, as far as may be, existing defects. In regard to the first point, namely, the alleged pro hibition to neutrals to export Russian produce on departing from a port placed under blockade by her Majesty's cruisers, Captain Watson has laid before her Majesty's Government a letter, dated the Ist inst., from Lieut. De Kantzow, of her Majesty's ship Imperieuse, the officer employed by Captain Watson to communicate with the Russian authorities at Baltic Port, which states as follows : It would hardly be possible within the limits of a single article to follow Mr. Layard through all his highly-interesting speech, to'discuss his plan, and do justice to the propositions connected with this very large subject, brought forward by the various speakers. Mr. Layard asserts that the evils of the existing system are not only to be remedied by pressure from without, but disclaims all intention of directing that pressure against the aristocracy ; he has no desire, so he as serts, to touch vested- interests t no intention to wound, or to offer in any direction a personal offence. Mr. Layard knows best how far this general avowal is called for by the language ho has thought proper to use on former occasions, and the charges he has been induced to make affecting the chasz_c_ters of brave and honourable men ; tho house seemed to feeTthis, and accepted his disclaimer with befitting reserve. The general proposition laid down by Mr. Layard is one indisputable in theory, however it may be violated in prac tice—it is this, that merit should be the only passport to ad vancement in the public service. To the disregard of this simple, but most righteous rule, may be traced most of the disasters which have befallen our arms, and the general de terioration of our systems, civil and military. The facts —and striking facts they are adduced by the member for Aylesbury, are not to bo got rid of ; any one who gives himself the trouble may collect them. There is n• doubt nepotism is the curse of the public service of this country. The Cabinet is a family clique, and the heads of all the great departments of the state are guided in the choice of their employes by favouritism, not by fitness. There are regula tions, it is true, which, if adhered to, would to a great ex tent control the evil; but the regulations are disregarded, and there is no one to call the delinquents to account, and so the mischief has gone on increasing till the day of trial comes, and the whole administrative system breaks down under the smallest extraordinary pressure. It is, however, in the army that the evil of the present system is most apparent, and fraught with the greatest danger. The cases of neglected service and unrecognised merit brought forward by Mr. Layard are to be found, for the most part, by.a reference to Hart's Army List. There they stand on record- in that chronicle of disappointment are to be found the names of brave men who have served their country with the best blood in their veins ; but, destitute of the means of purchasing promotion, and without interest at the Horse Guards, are condemned to seo the rank they are entitled to—it merit con veyed a title—monopolised by those who were not in existence when that rank was earned as the soldier should always earn it. " Neutral ships hirbou4aden with Russian produce (rYgliitiiii) - Were 'permitted - to, and did actually, proceed - on their respective voyages. The governor asked if I could promise that they would never be molested or inter fered with. In answer I stated that the proclamation of her Majesty was clear and concise, that he must abide by it, and in the event of their being captured the case would be judged by the Admiralty Court." On the second point, namely, that Captain Watson declined to give an assurance that vessels allowed by him to depart from Baltic Port would not be molested on their voyage, the same officer, Lieut. De Kautzow, states " that the governor asked permission for four fishing boats, without decks, to be permitted to proceed to Riga, and that after 1 had acquainted you (Captain Watson) with the same, as well as with the names of the neutral ships lying in the port, and their respec tive cargoes, I conveyed to him your permission that they might proceed, at the same time stating that you had no in tention of molesting the town, or any. fishing boats, but that you could not guarantee that boats of i hat description would never be molested, as the commander-in-chief was expected, and might issue different orders." Her Majesty's Government abstain from commenting upon the course pursued by the Imperial Government of Russia in this matter ; but I have to instruct you to give all possible publicity to this despatch in the country in which you reside. —I am, drc., (Signed) CLARENDON.

TUSCANY.—The Monitore Toscano of the Bth announces that Ferrara is now connected with Bologna by a tele graphic line. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —The renowned Dr. Gattiker of Zurich has effected the most successful cure of cancer of the stomach without medicine by Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food. The learned Dr. writes as follows :—Certificate forom Dr. Gattiker._" Zurich, 3d September, 1853 —I have tried Du Barry's Revalenta Araloica for a complaint whi, li had hither to resisted all other remedies, viz., Cancer of the Stomach, and I am happy to say, with the most successful result. This sooth ing remedy has the effect, not only of arresting the vomiting, which is so fearfully distressing in cancer of the stomach, but also of restoring perfect digestion and assimilation. The same satisfactory influence of this excellent remedy I have found in all complaints of the digestive organs ; it has also proved effec tual in a most obstinate case of habitual flatulence and colic of many years' standing. I look upon this delicious food as the most excellent restorative gift of nature.—•Dß. GATTIKER.— In canisters, 11b. 2s. 9d.; 21b. 4s. 6d. 51b. 11s. ; 121 b. 225.

FPRicE SD. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTH_AiVIPTON, JUNE ' 1 s.ps. By the Royal mail steamshi p La Plata, Ctain G. Weller, with the West India andPardcrnmiraailltsi in charge of Lieutenant Barrow, R.N., Agent, we have dates from—Nassau, M sly 12; Honduras, 18 ; Santa Martha, 10 ; G-reytown, 17; Carthagena, 26 ; Chagres, 24 ; Jamai ca , 27 ; -Jac_ mel, 2A; Porto Rico, 30 ; Demerara, 25 ; Tobago, 26 ; Trinidad, 27 ; Barbadoes, 28 ; Grenada, 28 St. Vincent, 29 ; St. Lucia, 30 ; Martinique, 30 Guadeloupe, 30 ; A n ti gua , 31 ; St. Kitts, 31 ; and St. Thomas's, June 1. The Royal mail steam-ship Atiato, with the mails from Southampton of the 17th ult., arrived out at St. Thomas's at 6 p.m. on the 30th of May. The Teviot had arrived at St. Thomas's from New York, having completed her repairs. A slight shock of earthquake had been felt at' St. Thomas's. Her Majesty's ship Mariner was lying there. The news, both political and commercial, by this arrival is very scanty. Our dates from Jamaica are to the 27th ult. There is no alteration in this island beyond the fact that business was duller than usual, the heavy rains which had inundated the country having cut off the means of communi cation from one part to another. A lot of country corn had realised ss. 3d. per bushel. Coffee was quoted at 345. to 355. Rice was very dull and in little demand. In cornmeal some sales had been effected at 245. per barrel. Exchanges on London, for bills at 90 days' date, were quoted at per cent. premium% 60 days, 1 per cent. ditto. The follow ing vessels were in Kingston harbour :—Barques. —The Rialto, Ottawa, Camilla, Albion (English). Brigs.—Eliza, Eliza Bain (English), Rossw e ll (American), J. Brons (Hanoverian). Brigantine. —Maude (English). Schooners.—Emily, Thomas Henry (English), Liberty, Kensington, Yorktown (American), Anita (Dutch). The American schooner Kensington, from St. Thomas's, for Mexico, put into Port Royal on the 17th ult., for repairs. At British Guiana the Combined Court met on the 14th ult. The members since they have as sembled had seized every opportunity to economise wherever it could be effected without injuring the efficiency of the public service. A war tax of 3s. was to be placed upon sugar, which it was expected, from its present low price, would materially incon venience that portion of" trade. The duty was spoken of as a great encouragement, and there was every probability that it would force the grower to seek new markets. One instance is quoted in which Canada, under the reciprocity treaty, had offered to furnish the required supply. A strong feeling prevailed, which was dictated originally by the Governor, that enough was not made of the labour which had been imported into the colony. A correspondent of the Royal Gazette says that "the penal consequences of the Governor's ordinance fell solely on the labourer, and that there is an omission, so far as the employer is not under any penalty for neglect on his part of the obliga tions he owes to the taxpayer to see that the labour imported at common cost shall be ade quately performed." The weather, for the sea son of the year, was very fine, and the crops everywhere give promise of abundance. There was not much sugar-making going on, but on large pro perties, where the process rarely ceases, there was a fa;r average of yield from the cane. There was little alteration in trade, and the shipping in the river was sufficient. The colony was healthy. At Grenada a short sugar crop was expected. Some of the estates, owing to unfavourable seasons and the scarcity of labour, would not produce an average crop. The yield of the cane has everywhere been poor. Minor articles of pro duce had not diminished. The Grenada Chronicle announces the arrival at Cayenne of the first in stalment of 5,000 African labourers whom the French Government has contracted to introduce immediately into that colony. The trade of the island was dull, the weather unsettled, and the inhabitants healthy. The Pro vidential, Apollo, Elizabeth, and Darathea were loading for Europe. The West India islands generally were healthy. ANOTRER AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR. VIENNA, JUNE 12.—The Wiener Zeitung of yes terday evening contained the following despatch, which was addressed by Count Buol to Count George Esterhazy, the Austrian Minister at Berlin, on the 31st of last month : "The accompanying document is a copy of the re script written by Baron Von Manteuffel before the Prus sian Government received our confidential communica tions of the 24th. By the latter we have according to promise, fully acquaint e d th e Royal Cabinet with the nature and extent of our propositions respecting the third guarantee-point, and Prussia is, therefore, enabled fully to examin e th e w h o l e po li t i ca l situation. ire think we cannot better reply to the rescript which has been communicated to us than by expressing our sincere wish that the examination (above alluded to) may lead to that complete understanding which it has always been our aim to establish between the two Powers. "We must, however, give utterance to some reflec tions to which the expressions of the Berlin Cabinet have given rise. "Agreeably to our wish Prussia has refrained from supporting the vague (tondos) offer made by Russia to the members of the German Confederation 'to adhere to the agreements made at the Vienna Conferences in re spect to the first two guarantee points, on condition that Germany should remain strictly neutral. By reserving to herself the right of examining into the value of this offer in connection with the detailed communications on the same subject which Austria would be able to make to her federal allies, Prussia was guided by that feeling which we confidently hoped to find in that allied Power, and which, as we with satisfaction remark, is shared by all the other German Powers. When we promised openly and sincerely to lay before our German allies our views relative to what is requisite for the interests of Europe and Germany, we certainly were far from desir ing to encr a,ch on their right to judge, and that with the most perfect freedom, for themselves ; on the con trary, we rather appealed to their judgment, and did not suppose that the expression used on this subject in our circular despatch of the 17th could be misunderstood. "Ought we, however, to recall anything which that despatch says concerning the constquence of the step taken by the Russian Court ? We think not. It is because Germany is standing on the basis of the treaty of April and its additional article that, in our opinion, it can neither be considered strictly neutral nor can it be expected to become so as long as the bases of peace are not settled, and as long as the Turkish territory requires our protection. And were we not perfectly right in saving that an offer addressed to all the members of the Bond, which they could not accept without being in opposition to the first Power in the Confederation, contained an attack on its unity ? We are as little able to fancy the Bund without Austria as without Prussia. We understand that under present circumstances Russia, setting Austria aside, should desire to influence the views of the other members of the Ger man Confederation, but if we had been in a position to give a counsel to the Court of St. Petersburg, we should have considered it our duty, and certainly not exclu sively on account of our own position, but rather in our quality of a German Power, most decidedly to advise it against taking such a step. The Prussian Cabi ne t must already have been convinced by our rescript of the 24th of this month that we know how to appreciate the sentiments of which it gave us a proof by declining to require of the Bund that it should take into considera tion an incomplete basis proposed by a third Power, and in op position to our views. We do not doubt th a t Prussia with us in thinking th a t a considera tion fr whiell position and duty not only of A us t r i a, b ut et of the whole of Germany, must be opposed to any dis cussion in the Diet on the subject of the declaration of Russia. ‘' It is to be hoped that the confidential communica tions of which Baron von Manteuffel is now in possession will strengthen Prussia in her inclination to act in open accord with us in her future measures, and in influencing our common Federal allies. In as far as we are con cerned, we shall congratulate ourself, if by her so doing things may take such a turn that we and our Allies (England and France) may not in future have to ob serve any reserve towards Prussia in respect to nego tiations which may be pending. . . - "Your Excellency will give a copy of this despatch to Baron von Manteuffel. "Accept, &c., "Buor," According to the Presse d'Orient the French prisoners released in exchange by the Rus,ians agree in reporting that, while the Czar's army in the Crimea receives rein- forcements from Perekop, all his provisions are drawn from Kertch and the ports on the Sea of Azoff. This fact may now be regarded as more than sufficiently esta blished. DUBLIN, June 14.—1 n the Encumbered Estates Court yesterday the Cappoquin estate of Sir John H. Bean e• Bart., of the net yearly value of 2,072/., was purchased by private contract - , for 42,0001. It is stated that tl-e incumbrances on this portion of the estate were only 23,0001. BERLIN, June 11.—At the close of this week a new postal arrangement will come into force between this place and London, by w hi c h nearly a whole day will be saved in the transit of a letter. CHURCH-RATES IN ST. CLEMENT DANES.—The polling for the Church-rate in this parish Closed yesterday. F)r the rate, 506; against it, 381 ; majority for the rate, 125. z COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL. On Friday a court was held for the despatch cif busi ness, but such was the exciteineht arising from c:rcum stances connected with the recent v.n,:it of the corporation to the municipality of Paris, that the meizibers did ,dot proceed to the disc uss i on of any of the important mat ters alluded to in the paper of business during the day. THE CORPORATION V ISIT TO PARIS. The LORD MAYOR upon t a ki ng th e chair addressed the court. He said that it would b e very apparent to the court, from the short time which bad elapsed since his return from the visit to France, and the nature of his engagement on Wednesday at the , ceremony of opening the new Metropolitan Cattle Market, That he was not prepared to enter into a particular state ment of the eirctunstlnees , attending the I,;rui,,r event, but so strong was the impression made Upon his mind by the rdinarkablo e . arinth aini kindness .of his reception, that he coull. feel no besiration , in giving a simple outline of what had occurred. Or.• the arriv , il of the deputation on the shores of France they were met ly a de - F utati:m, and hai!ed with a.wel come which it would be most difficult to de , cribe. At , u 1 gne au address, -read by the t )wii . clerk, wa y presen t e d to th em , expressive , which woodb e of the strong feeli ng eetortaine d b y t h e p eo pl e of France toward s th e People of thi s coun t ry ; an d i n Paris the Prefect ofthe Sein e wa i ted till 12 o ' clock at night in order to receive the city o f L on d on v i sitors, t h us prov i ng t h a t t h ere was no attentio n w hi ch could be pa id b y t h e mun i c i pality • of Pari s t o t h at of London that was not most libe• ally and earnestly yielded. (sheers.) His lordship then detailed the proceedings as ttisy were represented in the accounts in the newspapers, and, amidst the applause of the court, called upon the town clerk to read the two documents, which were as follow s : My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlem en —D e l eg ated by the mu nicipal body o f th e city of P ar i s, we are happy, nay col b leaguee and mys e lf, t o b e thus the first to welcome you on your arrival am ongs t us, and we rejoice t.) sea, for the second time withi n th e space of four the Lord Mayor, an d hi s right hon. friends the sheriffs and aldermen of th e grea t c i ty of London, coming to France to years, his lordship strengthen the ties of friendship and brotherhood by which Franca and England are and must be bound for ever. especially, my lord, ladies, and gentlemen in the town of Boulogne, where a column was erected at the be ginning of the present century, which, consecrated now to great peaceful recollections, will recall to future ages the alliance of France and England, that my colleagues and myself are happy to announce the brilliant prospects for which we are indebted to the progress of civilisation and to the wisdom of the great Sovereigns who rule over England and France. "It was reserved to our times to see the three nations hitherto divided by the difference of their religions dogmas—England, France, and Turkey—united in the co te _ mon interest of civilisation to combat the giant of the North with as much courage as disinterestedness in those distant countries where the echoes of the Taurida resound to the cries of war; whilst, rapidly embellished by the arts of peace, Paris is about to offer you, at the invitation of London iu the year 1851, the reunion of the industrial works of every country. One alone is expected, the pro ductions of which alone would not. have been rej ec t e d h ad they been sent. So true it is, that now in time of war feelings of union sarvive transient enmity, and protect the future of the civilised world, in which the only contest henceforth should be that of letters, of science, of indus try, and of mutual sympathy. " In this pacific course conquest wilt turn to the profit of all. The prosperity of England will be the prosperity of France, as the prosperity of France will be that of Eng land." At the desire of the Lord Mayor, the Town -Clerk read the following, which was the address in answer to the address from the corporation of London, delivered by the municipal corporation of Paris : "My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen—The municipal corpo ration cannot express too warmly its own gratitude, and I ani certain that of the whole population whose interests are intrusted to it, foi the new marks of esteem and sym pathy which the city of London addresses by your organ to the city of Paris. " Even the importance of the deputation that brings them increases their signification. "For centuries, and according to the viuissitucles of our history, this very hall has successively been the theatre of fetes given to sovereigns and of popular agitations ; of the conquests of factions, and soon after of their ruin ; the first echo of all the joys as of ad the sufferings of France. " After scenes so varied one would have thought that its walls could never witness any of a novel character. " What can be more unexpected, however, than t, see the municipalities of London and Paris, forgetting the tra ditional rivalries of their la tions, united together by the ties of the warmest friendship, open in some measure a common session so as to give a greater strength to the mu tual affection of the two cities. "Is not this one of those facts which must be designated extraordinary and unexpected--one of the signs of the times which shall remain for ever imprinted in the memory of nations ? "From the moment that in France a powerful hand had replaced each thing in its proper place, the Hotel de'Ville has been no more, it is true, the agitated abode of politics, but the quiet and laborious seat of the administration. " W e cannot doubt, however, that this r eun i on b orrows, from the cont ras t o f present and past deeds, a particular solemnity, and we rejoice at it, inasmuch as a simple ex change of cordial civilities may become a new and striking testimony of the indestructible alliance founded by the profound wisdom of our sovereigns, and cemented by the solidarity of dangers and gloryof both our armies. " My Lord Mayor and gentlemen, the city of Paris will ever remember the generous hospitality and. the hearty welcome—which its magistrates have met with in the city of London. " Receive, we beg of you, the thanks of the municipal corporation for the kindly visit which you now favour us with, and be assured that our warmest wishes are to acknowledge it by a worthy reception." The two addresses were ordered to be entered on the journals of the court. FINANCIAL STATEMENT AS TO THE METAGE ON CORN. The following report was ordered to be taken into con sideration at the next court : " We, whose names aro hereunto subscribed, of your committee for general purposes, to whom on the 6th of April, 1854, our report on the reference in respect to the metsge of corn was referred back to supply an appendix containing a financial statement of the probable effect of the alterations recommended, do certify that we had a re turn supplied to us from the corn -meter's office of the quantity of grain, pulse, and seed measured in the years 1847, 1848, 1849, 1850, and 1851, and the quantities me tend and the gross amounts received for metage are as follow X 847 Qrs. 5,352,268 ...... £14,596 15 5i 1343 .. 4,676,390... ...... 12,736 10 41 1849 4,764,165 1:3,291 11 0i 1850 3,945,253 11,056 9 10i 1831 - 3,711,282 11,481 02t giving an average of those 5 years of 4,495,861 quarters measured, and 12,052/. metage received. " We find from the accounts of the City cash front the Chamberlain during the same 5 years, that the sums paid into the chamber for metage were as follows :- 1847 £14,70617 6i 1843 12,733 9 1843 13,396 2 11. 1850 11,064 2 2 1851 10,481 0 24 1 " And the charges and expenses upon the same fund, during the same 5 years, were as follow :- 1847 £1,436 12 9 1818 1849 150 1851 1,078 9 0 making the average for the five years of the sums received in the chamber for metage 12,4761. 18s. 4id., and the ave rage of charges during the same period 1,419/. 6s. 10d. Tak ing the average numuers of the quarters measured to ;be four millions and a half (the only datum upon which we can proceed), that quantity, at 2d. per quarter, would pro duce 37,0001. " It has been stated totho committee that the work could be done by 100 meters, and 390 porters, as assistant-meters (being a reduction in the number of each, but particularly in the porters, from 7orB in each gang to 3). Taking that statement to be correct, the following will be the result :- 4,500,0,0 qrs. at 2d. per qr 237,500 id. per qr. for 100 meters ld. per qr. for 300 porters, assistant -meters lid. per qr. to the corporation, who are to provide for the expense of management and necessary implements £9,375 Deduct for expenses per annum. 2,000 9,375 18,71i0 7,3T5 235,5(X) "Bat the corn trade assert that the provision for an ad ditional payment ou small and distant jobs, and the in crease of the number of quarters which, under the arranEe ment proposed by them, will be metered in grain wad otherwise, will afford to the corporation a considerable in crease to the amount now estimated. " The arrangement proposed contemplates that the ma sistant meters will be received into the docks, and also that the crews of ships will aid in the delivery, and that futu re arrangements will be made for the systematic regulation of the meters and porters, especially as to their privilege s, superannuations, and pensions. And as many of the sug gested arrangements are founded upon assumed contingen cies in any legislative proceedings, mutual provisions would b 3 necessary to secure a future adjustment of the meta ge on the basis of its actual produce, as ascertained by the accounts to be mutually settled between the parties.
