A Court of Common Council was yesterday held at Guildhall, for the transaction of general City business. -.Mr. - Alderman WOOD called the attention of the Court to the Bill now in progress through Parliament for erecting Col lier Docks in the Isle of Dogs, one clause of which in particu lar, named the compulsory clause, was calculated to raise the price of coals, and - be injurious to the rights of the citizens of London. He recommended a petition to the House of Com mons against the Bill, which recommendation, after a short discussion on the subject was adopted. It was also agreed to petition Parliament agiinst the Bermondsey Dock Bill. 21r. Deputy D.aw presented a report from the Navigation Committee, on , the subject - of the Basingstoke Canal, stating that it was calculated to diminish the tolls of the city, and therefore recommending a petition to be presented to Parlia ment against it. . Mr. JUPP opposed this recommendation, and argued in fa vour of the proposed canal. .-Mr. Alderman Wow) contended that, in justice to the bond holders, they were•bound to oppose this canal. The report was agreed to ; and a petition adopted, praying to be itsard by counsel against the Bill. NEW CENTRAL STREET. A report from the improvement Committee on the petition of the promoters of the proposed communication from Hol. born-bridge to the North road was read. It stated that a Select Committee had examined the plans presented by the petitioners and were of opi n i on t h at t h e w h o l e i mprovement deserved die countenance and support of the Corporation of Lon don ; and recommended the Court to give it every facility, in- , asmuch as it was an undertaking highly beneficial to the city, and most useful to the puhlic at large. That the Select 'Committee had inspected the.plans for erecting public slaughter houses, which the petitioners contemplated as connected with 'the improvement; and the Committee were of opinion -that they were not only very ingenious, but particularly entitled to 'consideration; because,. it' curried into,effect, the multiplicity of slaughter-houses would be prevented in the new market, and 'great nuisances in the city, and in the metropolis generally, ,removed, and, the convenience and health of the inhabitants igreatly benefitted. That , the Committee bad been attended by Robert Hall, the Secretary .to the petitioners, who stated, ;that an Act of Parliament to carry tile, proposed measure into !effect could not, be obtained in the present Session, because the !notices required by, the Standing Orders of the House had not been given in due time ; but that the measure was still pro !ceeding, .and that it was intended to give the regular notices, andapply to Parliament in the next Session. It was moved that the Court agree with the Committee in. their Report. • Mr. Alderman WiturnatAx congratulated the Court on 'the prospect of this measure being. at length accomplished. :After pointing out the various advantages which the rnetropo ilia would derive from its completion, the Worthy Alderman ire ra cornmended it most strongly : to t h e support of the Co r p o : .non. • Mr. OLDHAM hoped that their agreeing to this report would not have the effect of shutting out competition, as he under ,- stood there was a second. Joint Stock Company ,formed foe a 'similar purpose, and he was aIIXiOLAS that it this desirable im .:provement were not effeeted by the one, it should by the other. It was a measure which undoubtedly was entitled to all •the 'assistance the Court could give it. The motion was unanimously agreed to. 13LACEFRIARS-BRIDGE. The Chairthan of the Cominittee for General Purposes brought up the report upon the .subject of 111ackfriais-bfidge.

The Chairman of the Committee trioVed that it be referred to the Committee, to have the latter plan carried into effect, and 'that they b e a llowed to d raw 500 . 1. froth the Chamberlain for that purpose, ifnecessary.
