ACOURT of MAYOR and ALDERMEN. held in the Inner Chamber of the Guildhall of the city of London, on Thursday, the Bth day of September, 1842, and ii the sixth year of the reign of Victoria, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, &e. LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL WAY COMPANY. The fourteenth half -yearly meeting of the Share xolders in this Company was held yesterday at the ..ondon Tavern, at one o'clock. From the Report it appears that the total revenue of the Company has been nearly stationary, and that the balance in hand :s not sufficiently large to warrant its division among the Proprietors, therefore no dividend was declared. the balance in hand amounts only to 1,8971. 103. Ofd. Ile Report states the following as the circumstances which have contributed to prevent any increase in the revenues of the Company : The tenacity of the Greenwich Company to a toll almost prohibitory of a short and cheap traffic, which, whilst it has diminished the revenue of that Company, has likewise effectually checked the receipts of the Croydon line; the slow development of the Brighton traffic during the early part of the year, and the high rate of fare maintained by that Company, which has had the effect of reducing the proportion which the toll should bear to its gross receipts, by diminishing the number of passengers from which such receipts have been obtained." It appears that the Directors of the Croydon Company have entered into an arrangement with the South Eastern Company, the object of which is a division between the two companies of the fare charged by the South Eastern Company, after deducting the ex penses of conveyance, in proportion to the length of line of each company traversed by thW passengers from whom such fare is received. With respect to the failure of the recent application to Parliament for a Bill for a commo n road, and to the me 4 su-reitroPose3tl-4x* 13.epoid contains the follow ing annthiveeinent "Your Directors propose to make another arrange ment with the South Eastern Company, which was the subject of a communication to the Proprietors at the late Special Meeting. The loss of the Bill before Parliament, for a common road approach, and the subsequent alteration of the Standing Orders of the House of Commons regarding railway Bills, have, in some measure, extended the views of the Directors of the two Companies relative to this matter ; and it is now their united opinion, that the public convenience and the interest of both proprietaries would be better ' secured by making not merely an approach to the Grange-road, but a railway to a station near the Bricklayers' Arms. The whole of the land necessary For this purpose is either purchased or under agree nent, and your Directors anticipate no difficulty, therefore, in an Act being obtained in the next session of Parliament to carry this very desirable object into effect. To this intent it is proposed that a sum of money shall be raised upon the security of tolls, de rivable from the traffic over the new line—that the in terest of this money be further guaranteed by the two Companies, in the proportion of two-thirds by the South Eastern Company, and one-third by the Croy don Company, and the profits, after paying such in terest, to be divided in like proportion. There is also an understanding that if the project be not carried out, the expenses hitherto incurred shall be borne equally by both C om p an i es . Every probability, h owever , spee dily accompli s h e d , and of our exists of it s b e i ng obtaining, by this means, at a comparatively moderate terminus a n d goo d s sta cost, an effi c i en t West-end tion for all the Southern lines, thereby x t einoving all pretence for any other terminus independent of the Croydon Railway?' From the st a t emen ts o f gr. Cubitt, the eng i neer, it appeared that the expense of this railway to the ter minus at the Bricklayer's Arms, would amo un t t o a b out 150,0001., o f w hi c h 50,000/. would have to be raised From the follo w i ng pas sageby the Croyd on C ompan y. in the Report it appears that a further sum of 65,000/. must be raised-to complete the . railw ay " This meeting ha s been m ade _apeia formerlyfor the pur pose of rai s i ng th e f ur ther capital contem plated which eience of th e for the completion of the undertaking, has been necessarily increased co (great earth works, caused by the landns consequence at New cross and Forest-hill, during the last winter. Your Directors regret to say that these works h ave cex ceeded what they anticipated, whenthey gave notice n of the expected dem a nd upon IheP.r.o. tion to the prietors at the last general meeting, and that in .odi ex pense thereby occasioned, it has become expedient, according to the advice of your Consulting Engi neer, to purchase a c ons id era bl e quantity of land for the purpose of securi ng t h e p e rmanent safety of your railway, and preventing the possibility of the recur which lately hap rence of such a catastrophe as that pened; Mr. Cubitt has likewise recommended that the rails throughout the line should be gradually taken up and re-laid, ill consequence of some defect, arising from ori g i na l construction, which has recently manifested itself. The sum which your Directors con sider requisite f or t h ese purposes a mounts to about 65,000/., and a res o l ut i on for ra i s i ng the same will be submitted to the meeting." In answer to questions put by va rious Proprietors, Mr. Cubitt st a t e d that the purchase of the land was to be mad e un d er the pro visions of the recent Railways' Regulation Act, and that it had been re commended by the Surveyor-General of Railways ap pointed by the Board of Trade. He also stated that the necessity for re-laying the rails had been occasioned by the use of patent felt in the original construction. The use of the felt had originally me t with his appro bation, and hid b een recommended by several eminent engineers, but it had been found that the felt worked out, leaving a hollow' and that, consequently , the rails became bent. He had therefore recommended that the rails should be taken up, straightened, and re-laid flat upon the wood, the expense o f d o ing which would amount to about 4 ,000/. It was proposed by the Chairman, and agreed to by the meeting, that the Report should be re ce i ved and adopte d , after which the Chairman proposed a resolution for raising the sum required by the issue of loan notes of 2/. each (which would give one loan note to each existing share), bearing an interest of 51. per cent. for three years. "The loan notes to be convertible into shares, at the rate of 151. per s h are at the exp i rat i on o f two years, at the option of the holders, the payment of interest to cease from the day of the conversion ; each loan note not converted into shares which should be outstanding at the end of the three years to be paid off at par. The loan notes to be offered first of all to the Shareholders, at the rate of one loan note per share. In the event of any Shareholder refusing to take his amount of loan notes, such notes to be offered to the other S hareholders, and, in the event of their refusal, to the public. The money to be paid by two instalments ; on e on the Isth October, and another on the 15th January next." This proposal was, after some discussi on , adopted by the Share holders, and thanks having been voted to the Chair man and Directors, the meeting separated, It ap pears from the accounts laid oil the table, that daring the last half-year, 188,582 passengers have trav e ll e d by the railway, besides those holding annual and quarterly tickets, and that the total receipt, on account of passenger traffic, has been 11 ,241/.65. 101; while from the carriage of goods th e receipts have only amounted to 4661. 9s. 2d. The tolls received from the Brighton Company, from Feb 1 to July 31st, on 120,806 passengers, horses, carriages, goods, and merchandize, amount to 6,4681.-2 s. sd. ; and those received from the South -Eastern Company, from May 26 to July 31, on 17,536 , Passengers, horses, carriages, goods, and paid m by arenandize a m ou nt to 8911. Bs. 10d. The tollsthe Croydon Com pany to the Greenwich Company during the half -18s• 60 year amount to 2,3621. . Resolved unanimously, teat the thanks of this Court be pre sented to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor fur the promptitude zeal, and judgment manifested in his arrangements for the pre servation of the peace and the protection of the inhabitants se this city on the occasion of the tumultuous proceedings which took place in the evenings of the 18th, 19th arid 22d ultimo. and of several succeeding days, and for his valuable report thi• day read.

The London Harbour Master also reported that the wreck of the Apollo has been surveyed, and found clear of land and sand, and her decks are entire.

A bank has formed about 120 feet above the vessel, rising 22 feet above the bed of the river, which in all proability will increase if the wreck is allowed to remain where it is.

(From a pamphlet entitled " Strictures on Church Commercial Schools, addressed to Parents and Guardians of the rising Generation : being the First Lesson for the Practical Preceptors of the Diocesan Board of Education.") Much has been said, and more written, on the subject of education. Scheme after scheme has been suggested, and partially acted upon, and, doubtlessly, each was very well in its way : it might have its merits and it s d emer it s , b u t un til of late it never entered into th e i mag i na ti on o f msn , that the clergy, invading th e p r i v il eges , an d open ly v iolating the rights of the laity, wou ld f orm themselves into a Board of Diocesan Education, with but one aim and end in view—to take the monopoly of all school profits into their own hands, and effect the total ruin of a large and most respectable body of persons, by whom, from generation to generation, the minds, the morals, and the intellectual faculties of men, have been formed; who have upheld by their teaching, and their example, the Church and the constitution, and I may add, taught even the clergy themselves all they know. injustice, nay, ingratitude, is apparent on the very surface of the scheme; and I would ask by what right, human or divine, the priesthood arrogate to themselves the power of monopolizing education ? It is contrary to the true spirit of the British Con stitution ; and, what is worse, they come forward under something very like false pretences, when they set themselves up as Diocesan Commercial School masters. In this they boldly profess to teach that which their education and pursuits render them in capable, of teaching, We have heard of fox-hunt ¶ " it xs; oftotacirZnitqichisigiions, of aletettii-, dealing pars on , f or w hi c h • he was silenced 'for some years by a Bishop of London, but we never before heard of a commercial body of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons ! With the Lord Primate of England at the head of his clerical-commercial fraternity, the mass of the multitude, who content themselves with merely looking at the outline of the plan as put forth by this Board of Scholastic Control, may be deluded, for a time, into a belief of its utility ; but, if they were to look a little behind the scenes, they would find it is but the dawning of a system f domination, which is intended, in th end, to enslave the rising genera tion ; and by the influence which a welborganised fraternity possesses, render them mere puppets that they can pull to and fro by a string. I look upon this institution in the light of a domestic inquisition, and many evils are to be anticipated from this clerical interference with the system of general edit. cation. The system is founded on a wrong basis, and the Diocesan Board of Education already begin to feel their sandy foundation becoming a little unsafe, or why should they have an idea of making it a re gular Government job ? I would ask my Lord of London, if the idea of organising a company of clerical inspectors of schools, to be paid out of the hard earn ing of the people, a salary 4‘ five hundred pounds each per annum, was not suggested to his speculative brain by the failure of another bright scheme that emanated from the same source, viz., the refusal of the majority of the Metropolitan Incumbents to subscribe two guineas each annually, to add to the income of some of his pet inspectors ? Unfortunately for this brain-teaching monopoly fraternity, .1 happen to be a little in their secrets, and know their unfitness to carry out their schemes. Under all cir cumstances I would ask my Lord of London, who is himself the son of a schoolmaster, why he should be one of the first and strongest persecutors of the mem bers of his father's profession? I will even go further, and inquire of his Grace of Canterbury, who was also the schoolmaster to the Abercorn family, by whom his first living was purchased and presented, and whose interest procured him his first and second mitre, whe. ther his conscience does not smite him when he con. siders that by patronizing this monopoly, he is vir. tually depriving thousands of the most useful and re , spectable members of a learned and honourable pro fession, of the means of obtaining an existence?

It having been announced that the body of the !at:- Dean of Westminster would be interred immediately after the usual Morning Prayers yesterday, shortly after the opening of the doors the choir of the Abbey was completely filled, and before the service was con cluded there was scarcely standing room. A few minutes after ten the voices of the choristers were heard chanting, as they entered the nave from the cloisters, the opening sentences of the Burial Service, " I am the resurrection," &c. The scene then became very impressive, when viewed from the organ gallery ; a long procession, headed by the almsmen and vergers, then the choir, the Canon and Prebends, feathers, and the corpse, followed by mourners, came slowly up the nave. Upon the coffin being placed on tressels, just within the gates of the choir, Prayers commenced, the 39th and 90th Psalms being substituted for those appointed for the day, and the lesson from the Burial Service for the second for the day; these were the only deviations. The Anthem was that selectedtfrom the latter part of the 90th Psalm, and the whole of the choir being pre sent, the service was beautifully performed. At the conclusion the procession was re-formed, and pro ceeded up the south aisle to the grave, which had been prepared at the south-west junction of the nave and transept. Here the choir and clergy formed a circle, and the sentences, " Man that is born of a woman," were sung, accompanied by the organ, at which Mr. Turle presided. The Sub-dean (Lord John Thynne) then stepped forward to the foot of the grave, and read that part of the service, " Forasmuch as it has pleased ;" after which the singing boys chanted, " 1 heard a voice," accompanied as b e f ore . His Lordship then proceeded with the appointed Prayers, which were followed by Croft's Anthem, " When the ear," at the conclusion of which the blessing was pronounced. This terminated a ceremony almost as imposing as the last, which, but a fortnight since, occurred within the same building, to the sorrow of many wle hkd for years participated in Dr. Ireland'A Bxtensive h SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL'S—YESTERbAY.

When about three miles from Burrin, they dis covered a fleet of large sailing boats leaving Galway, all formed into a regular line of sailing.

They would posi tively have sunk the boat, but that Mr. Persse and hi s party were so well armed and showed snob determination to resist.

Captain Fisher, R.N., princip a l to the Port of London, yesterday Harbour Master reported to the Lord Mayor that he had removed the wreck of the Vesper collier barque, sunk off Gravesend, with the exception of a few planks, which are in no respect an obstruc tion to the navigation. The plan Captain Fisher adopted for the perform ance of this service has been by e xploding charges of gunpowder in and under the wreck, creeping, sling ing, and raising the dispersed timber separat e d by th e explosion, 1,300 pounds of gun powder having been used in accomplishing the removal. As the wreck lay close to the shore, he was prevented from using larger charges, and thus more delay took place than would otherwise have occurred. The cylinders were, in conformity with the direc tions of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, made at Chatham Dockyard, under the orders of Mr. Fulcheon, master Luilder of that establishm en t. The cylinders were fitted, charged , and fire .l by Captain Fisher and the people attached t o the harbour ser vice, and f rom the pra ctice t hey have h a d upon th i s oc casion, there will arise no difficulty in fut ure in remov ing wreck s i n th e ßi v er Thames, the n av i gation of which it is now more than ever necessary to secure from impediments in consequence of the enormous increase of shipping. The charges of powder were fi re d w ith Mr. Sme e ' s galvanic battery, supplied by M r . P a l mer , of Newgate-street, by order of the Navigation Com mittee. Captain Fisher expressed himself much in debted to Mr. C. James, the Harbour Master at Gravesend, and Mr. William Downes, the diver, for the assistance. NO accident' occurred during the CHINESE POLICE.—So summary is the mode in which the object of the police is effected in Canton, t' at it is no light matter to be once in their hands. The Chinese emphatically express their sense of this unfor tunate condition by the popular phrase, " The meat is on the chopping -block." Not unfrequently, in minor cases, a man receives the punishment, and again goes free, the same hour in which he commits the crime. The forms of trial are simple. There is no Jury, no pleading. Tho criminal kneels before the Ma gistrate, who hears the witnesses, and passes sen tence ; he is then remanded to prison, or sent to the place of execution. Seldom is he acquitted. When witnesses are wantinv, he is sometimes tortured until he gives in evidence against himself : There are four gaols in Canton, which together contain several hundred pri soners. The gaol is commonly called to-yo, hell, or lite rally " earth's prison." All capital offenders suffer without the southern gates, near the river. Hundreds die there annually. When brought to the fatal spot, they kneel with their faces towards the Emperor's co ur t, and, bending forward in the attitude of submission and thanksgiving, suddenly expire beneath the bloody sword of the executioner.

The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of Brown, or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub lished in the Gazette of this evening : West India •• 3ss. 61d. par cwt. East India . . Mauritius.. Total average price of the two descriptions is 365. 3,1 d. per cwt. The actual quantities sold on account of the im porters, in the week ending the 6th of September, according to the returns made upon oath, by the Sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parlia ment, and on which quantities the above _prices are computed, consisted of 35,038 c w t. of West India, and 4,726 cwt. of East India Sugars. 350 cwt. of Maur Sugar have been sold in the same week at 255. per cwt., which, being classed as East India, unfairly depresses the average price of that kind of Sugar. The annual Acts of Parliament determines that the duties on Sugars from July, 1842, to July, 1843, shall not exceed certain rates --this knowledge, coupled with recent information that the supply of Sugar from the Colonies will be inadequate to the usual &mend for home use, leads the monopolists to indulge the hope that the prices of their Sugar will rise ; they have consequently been firm, and have ac tually obtained an advance of sixpence per cwt. Their cupidity causes them, however, to forget, that although duties cannot be raised without the sanction of Parliament, yet they may be diminished whenever the Government deems it proper to issue an Order in Council for that object, and that, too, without giving the parties concerned further notice than transmitting the document to the Customs. There is good reason to believe that if a serious advance in the prices of Sugar for home consumption should occur, that the power of reducing the rate of duties will be exer cised as far as relates to Foreign Sugars. It there fore behoves dealers to be especially cautious in their transactions, and to hold only such stocks of British Sugars as are absolutely necessary for their bnsiness. The prevalence of an opinion that Forei Sugars must and will be admitted to the home ma rke t before Christmas next, has probably induced the briskness, though without alteration of prices, recently experi enced in the market. Parties may buy them to hold under an apprehension that such a reduction of duty as would bring them into home use would raise their value two shillings per °wt. Having last week assigned reasons why the West India Proprietors are not likely to procure an acces sion of labour on their estates through the aid of im migration, and abundantly shown why in that respect they have only themselves to thank for the difficulty they are in for want of workmen, we advert to-day to the second mode of reducing the cost o f l a b our , a mode, unlike the other, being completely unde r W es t Indian control ; accordingly we proceed to examine what the result would be of throwing out of sugar cultivation those grounds which from the impoverished state of the soil will not yield a full crop. It is well known, be the land where it may, that when ex hausted by forcing produce—and this sin especially ap plies to the 'West Indies—that an immense strength of labour is required to secure even a scanty return. In order to render our meaning quite palpable, we give the following hypothetical case :—We will suppose A. and B. two West India Proprietors, who have each 100 acres of land in the Colonies ; the 100 acres be longing to A. have, from bearing a continued suc cession of Sugar crops become exhausted—therefore to get any Sugar from them, say 80 hogsheads a-year, the work of 150 negroes is required for their cultiva tion ; the estate of B. has been carefully managed, and on that account yields 100 h ogs h ea d s of Sugar, raised and made by the continuous work of 50 negroes. A. and B. are competitors in the labour market— their united wants are 200—but they find only 150 negroes to be hired. 8., holding the more profitable land, engages 50 of them, though compelled by the rivalry of A. to give such exorbitant wages, that the blacks (the complaint of the West India proprie tors) are able to remain idle three days,in the week, leaving the 100 to be hired by A. at the like rate 4 € wages ; these also work only three days in the week ; the consequence is, that A. has but one-third of hie 100 acres cultivated, *Rich then produce only to hhds. of sugar a %year. B. has half hid leo • acres planted which yield 50 hbds, the defici enc y o n A.'s estate arisin g partly from.. want of sufficient hands, and 'Partly because the hands engaged will only work on alternate days. B.'s deficiency is occasioned entirely- by the latter cause. Together A. and 13,. ship for the mother country 70 hhds. Now, if A. had his 100 acres cultivated for provisions, he would require the assist ance of only 25 negroes, throwing back upon the labour market the remaining 75, who would compete. for employment with the 100 blacks hired, by B. B. would then dictate a rate of wages 'that would ensure their working continuously thrbughout tY.e year ; his estate would consequently ship 100 ; in point of quantity, therefore, there worild be in crease of 30 hhds. in the annual produttion air: ship. ment, and the labour of 75 negroes to spare. besides these advantages, the quality of the Sugar in the 100 MIAs shipped from the single estate would be very superior to the Sugar which would have been shipped in 70 hhds, from the two half _ forked estates ; for this reason, B's estate by the mode suggested' would have a gang of negroeP, upon it, who would' work with regularity, and *lie juice, as soon as ex pressed from the canes., would be eoiled down to Sugar without delay, Expedition in making Sugar is of the first impe:iiance ; if the cane juice from ex posure to the 'atmosphere becomes tainted by acidity, the utmost skill of the manager to c onvert it into good Sugar will be defeated. The miechief arisinz therefore, from negroes working only on alternat e days is irretrievable, and accounts, is a great lace sure, for the gummy condition of a large pronortion of the West India Sugar, and the quantity of lim e i n it, introduced for the purpose of neutraasin? the acidity which delay in the boiling had occasioned. It therefore follows that if the exhausted soils were thrown out of Sugar cultivation, one-fourth more: Sugar would be imported from the West Indies, and the whole of it would be of a good and sound quality, The West India Propri e t ors s t a t e 355. per cwt. te, 'Se the cost of Sugar, including all charges : . in 'order, therefore, to arrive a t w h a t th e actual frosts of labour are, the other charges incidental, ' to bring ing it to mar k e t h ere, which a'A knewn must be deducted—for instP.nce, the first item in those charges is the cask, which may be set, at, ls. per cwt.; the second, the freight, &c., at ss. ; The third, dock age and management prior to sale., 4 s.—together 10s. per cwt., leaving 25a. per cwt. for the culture of the canes and manufacturing the Sugar. According to the showing of the planters the labourers receive now just double the amount of wages they ought to re ceive, because the sum paid for three days' labour will keep them comfortably for the week ; it is fair, then, to assume, that when competition for employ ment became active the owner of the fertile soil would readily engage hands at half the amount of wage% now given, in all probability at less than hair ties charge for culture, &c., instead of being equivalent to 255. per cwt., would consequently then be 12s. 6d. ; the cost of manager or planter may be set at 35., and should likewise be deducted, because it is entirely optional; the proprietor may avoid it if he choos es by residing on his own estate, which, in fact, h e ought to do. It is absurd to suppose the owner of an estate in Jamaica can live in London and m ann ,. his affairs, combining agriculture with manufaet-u—, direct these processes with any degree approaching pro per economyor good order; the 3s. per cwt. should,there. tore, be deducted, which further e cost, te asl2sa.t6ev.re.to 9s. 6d, per cwt., being th sent 70 hhds. of bad sugar, in lieu of 100 • • goo, l, w ere imported; but when the increased quantity and im proved quality are taken i n t o considers on one third, or 33 per cent., shouldbe taken from the 9s. 6d., bringing the cost of growing the canes and makin the sugar Admitting t g down to Gs. 4d. per cwt. h - At, the Proprietors must now, as they declare they ought to do, obtain on an average3ss. per cwt. to remu nerate them, the mode sug ge sted rod ispose of their Sugar with w al ottd enable them profit at Gs. 4d., dig the char g e s at 10s. before deducted, at 16s. 4d. per cwt., the price which fo reign Muscovado of like quality commands. We . next week looking into the charges for hhds., freight, &c., dockage, and management here. We think we can enlighten the West India Proprietors in these matters , and s h ow them th e way to undersell their foreign comj!etitors profitably to themselves, being a further deraonstra tion, if such be necessary, that free is dreaper than slave labour.

Yesterday a Court was held for the transaction of business. Among the Gaol Reports presented by the Sheriffs was one from Mr. W a dd, th e surgeon of Whitecross street prison, which stated that one very severe case of spasmodic cholera had occurred since the period of the last Report, and that it had yielded to strong medical treatment ; that several slight cases had ma nifested themselves, but were soon cured, and that at the present time the inmate's were in good health. This Report satisfactorily contradicts the rumour which had got abroad at the time of the death of Mr. Barrett, the late keeper of the prison, that the cholera was raging within the building. NOMINATION OF A NEW KEEPER OF WIIITECROSS- STREET PRISON. Sheriff MAGNAr stated to the Court, that since the last Report was made to the. Sheriffs from White cross-street prison, a serious loss had been sustained in the death of Mr. Barrett, the late keeper, with 1404 e, -merits- qualities the .snembers were well acquainted. The Sheriffs had nomiliated - Mr. Thomas Burdon to the office, a gentleman whom he (Sheriff Magnay) had known for twenty five years, and whom he considered in every respect exceedingly well qualified to fill the situation. Upon the motion of Alderman BROWN it was re ferred to the Gaol Committee to inquire into the qualifications of Mr. Burdon to fill the office, accord ing to the usual forms observed in cases of the kind. The salary of the office was incidentally stated to be 6001. a year, and it is to undergo no diminution. The accounts of the late Mr. Barrett were referred to the same Committee. THE LATE PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY IN TIIE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The TOWN CI:ER ;Wad ;1;;;;111:11innade by the Grand Jury a few days ago in the Central Criminal Court, complaining that a number of paltry cases had been submitted to them ; that several of those cases had been charged against persons hot accused before ; and that the Magistrates ought to have dealt sum marily in them instead of sending them to such a tri bunal ; that the gaol of Newgate was crowded with female prisoners ; that there was great want of ac commodation for witnesses about the Court ; that male and female witnesses were not kept apart from each other ; and that the latter were taken by the police-officers to the public-houses in the neighbour hood, to the serious peril of their moral sense. Alderman BROWN said there were certainly several observations in the paper just read, which deserved serious attention. At the same time many of the evils could he only remedied by the Legislature, or the Secretary of State.—(Hear, hear.) Those which it might be in the power of the City authorities to re move or modify could be best ascertained by referring the prentment to the General Committee, and no doubt the most effectual means would be adopted to accomplish the object. The Alderman then moved that the presentment should be referred to the Committee. Alderman Lucas said the presentment of the Grand Jury did not say whether the trivial cases to which allu sion was made in it had been sent for the considera- tion of the Grand Jury by Middlesex, Kent, Surrey, or City Magistrates. It would be satisfactory if the cases had been particularised in such a manner as would show to what Magistrates they were referable. Alderman BROWN observed that the answer would probably be that the cases were•not committed by the City Magistrates. The Committee, however, would have an opportunity of reporting fully on the subject, and thus the attention of the proper authorities might be drawn to it.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman 'l'. Wow) said therewere many points in which the Magistracy could not at all interfere. They had no sort of control over the police, either in Mid dlesex, or in the City, and of course could not inter fere to prevent what was complained of in the pre sentment as to the conduct of the force. As for the charges against juvenile offenders, the expense attend ing those accusations had been over and over again represented as unnecessary, and still they were not put a stop to. 'With respect to the state of Newgate, the City authorities had done all they could to in crease the internal accommodation. It had been de termined that Newgate should be gaol for those who were to undergo sentence. He believed that the Go vernment would not hesitate to apply the proper remedy, and approved of the suggestion of referring the subject to the Gaol Committee. Alderman LUCAS thought the Grand Jury com plained of some matters which it would not be very easy to remedy. Every one knew that a policeman was expected to keep his witnesses together, to be ready when called upon, and it could scarcely be supposed that a person, under such circumstances, could nicely separate the male from the female wit nesses. As for the crowded state of Newgate, the Sheriffs could satisfactorily account for that. He re. collected, when he was Sheriff, that he frequently went to the Secretary of State to request that functionary to clear the prison. There were many circumstances which concurred to render the removal of female con victs a matter of difficulty. Alderman Gums wished that the Grand Jury would attend the Gaol Committee, and explain dome things in their presentment, which, in his opinion, very much required explanation.—(Bear, hear.) The motion was unanimously agreed to. TIIE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. ... The LORD MAYOR presented a Report, detailing the )roceedings adopted by . his Lordship (already pub ished), upon receiving information of her Majesty's ntention to honour Scotland with a visit. Report was ordered to be entered in the Jour nals of the Court. The LORD MAYOR also presented the Report of his Lordship's survey of the river Thames. The Report, which was of considerable length, was read in brief, and ordered to be entered in the Jour nals of the Court.—Adjourned. [ADVERTISEMENT.3 SODA WATER. ROUGHBEDGE and have hitherto reli e d on the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate the superior quality of the Arated Water produced by their manufactory, and they have Scorned to have re course to any tricks. 'ln the present day some persons consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery in order to extend the sale of their own productions by detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R. and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe riority of their own soda -water and lemonade, founded on the recommendation of the most eminent of the faculty, on the results of the most. searching chemical analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand for them by the public, both at home and abroad, that they . have hitherto treated the insinuations of quackery alluded to with , the contempt they deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel themselves justified in offering those explanations that may enable the public to judge for themselves. If It and S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles, it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitimate fact, and always subordinate to their own. Withcffit im puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe and Co.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have been denied. For fivo and twenty years, during the very period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr, Summers was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold by that house In London, Derby, and Bristol. It is many years since any person, having the slightest connexion with the name or family of the We Mr, Schweppe, has been connected with any house In the trade. In the year 1834, the proprieter,d-l4 busi ness carried on under the name d_Schweppe and pc, sold his interest to persohs with whom At and S. declined to remain : they preferred emplqltig their in dustry and pr ac ti ca l k now l e d ge in establishing a business for their own mutual B rom, Whether the wat ers s l um manufactured the ichesent firm of Schweppe and Co. retain} the naijty whielt 4cquireti fur that house all its celebrity, If, find S, decline to give an opinion ; but, in justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con fidenee and good faith, say that—highly as some ma nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which sear "- • their name (expensive an item as patties are), and diffi cult as it is to prevent ret4d tradosinen from returning wrong ones—thary is no bottle bearing any otlior their mon, however celebrated, to which Roughaekto 4 ,4 Summers wo u ld w i s h t o a dd th e rep9tiktic.n to he derived from filli ng diem with waters (-if Theo , own manufactory, RouGhsEDGE and SuAimpto only desire such p atronage as may 110 da4apved from the Arated Waters produced at their own manu f ac t or y, and sold und er the latith o f their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Brim:4,
