SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—Thi s Ki Society derives its origin from the following cause:— That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the clergy —ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with tho requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

Rome was not built in a day, nor will a people whose cruelty is the inheritance of ages become humane in a day. The next generation may be instructed—this must be coerced as well as instructed. Every well educated person in Naples congratulates the society to which this gentleman belongs upon the vigour with which he prosecutes his mission ; but, fearless as he seems to be, I must tell him that it is no small joke to arouse the anger of some two or tbree thousand Neapolitan eab-drivers upon a dark night, and I would therefore recommend him, for his own security, and without a moment's delay, to order a shirt of mail, with a very high collar buttoned close round the throat.

DYNz.STY, TO THE BRITISH PLENIPOTENTIARY AND AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDI NARY IN CHINA, GREETING. "Inasmuch as I have long heard that your hon ourable country most particularly reverence the heavenly system of worship which has been pro mulgated for more than 1,860 yeau, therefore I presume that your honourable country early ob tained evidence respecting this wonderful doctrine's origin, and promulgated ii, in the West. How ex ceedingly excellent ! But our true and holy lord Teen Wang (the Emperor) in the year 1848 was received up by a heavenly messenger into heaven, and him self had an interview with the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Elder Brother, and thence obtained a commission to circulate the true doctrine for the regulation of the whole country. Again from Kwang-sei he came to Nankin and promulgated the heavenly system of religion, cut blocks and printed the Scriptures, and administered the wash ing ceremony (washed their breasts with a rag, I presume, ' Sci Li,' rightly named for this purpose). Although there is the difference of sooner and later, first and last, still with your honourable country we have received the same system of wor ship, and have regarded its principles all the same as yourselves. At present the Middle Kingdom, Chinese people, have come to know the true doc trine ; but when I consider that our people for thousands of years had not obtained this extraordi nary doctrine it is to be regretted. Anciently it was difficult to realise its excellencies, from want of the knowledge of its principles. On examina tion, I find that from the year 1853, the third year of our true and holy lord's ascension of the Impe rial Throne, the desire to become disciples of the Lord Jesus prevailed, and all turned to the one principle. The literati in the presence—the Court of the Emperor—soon became of this class, and now it has widely extended and become deeply impressed in its main ideas, and is observed in its rites, all of which has been accomplished by the power of God. Truly it is not in man to have brought these things to pass! "I have now prepared for your honourable country a manifesto and true explanation, so as to remove the difficulties, that it may not hence be as the navigating of an intricate sea, or the scaling of a mountainous rough road. The fish are deep, and the wild geese distant, their mutual sounds and inquiries are difficult to comprehend ! [We must come nearer together to be mutually understood.] Having increased the army, my press of business has not permitted me to do as I would wish.

The Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London held their usual weekly court yesterday ; Mr. Deputy Christie, the chairman of the commis sion, presided. SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY. ' Dr. LETHEBY, the Medical Officer of Health for the City of London, reported upon the state of 182 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 50 places that required sanitary improvement. The inspections of markets and slaughter-houses had been continued as usual, and the officers had seized 3,741 lb., or more than a ton and a half, of meat unfit for human consump tion. Of this 1,536 lb. were seized in Newgate market by Mr. Fisher ; 60 lb. in Leadenhall-market by Mr. Davidson ; and 2,145 lb. in Aldgate and Tyler's market by Mr. Newman; 1,761 lbs. were diseased, and 1,981 lbs. were seized on account of the animals having died from natural causes,'Nearly the whole of this was found in two City slaughter houses; in one there were 18 sheep, weighing 1,440 lbs. ; and in the other a dead cow, weighing 330 lbs. There was no justifiable reason or excuse for the possession of such animals. The excessive cold and dense irritating fogs of the last fortnight have acted with great severity on the weakly members of the population. The progress of the death-rate during the last four weeks has been from 44 to 95 —the average during the last five years being 67. The chief increase has been in the Eastern Union, where the weekly proportion has risen from 17 to 41. With one exception only I have never known so large a weekly return of deaths as that which has been furnished by the week which has just expired. The exception was in the severe autumn of 1858, when in the week ending Nov. 27, there were 102 deaths. In that week, as in the week that has just elapsed, the mean temperature was greatly below the average, only just above the freezing point of water, and the fogs were dense and frequent. In deed, the condition of the atmosphere on Thursday last was remarkably unwholesome, the quantity of organic vapour, sulphate of ammonia, and finely divided soot unprecedented. It amounted to nearly four grains in the, cubic foot of air, and its effect on the eyes and bronchial membranes was most' irri tating. This is evidenced by the enormous amount of illness and 'mortality 'from acute pulmonary affections. Pneumonia, for example, has risen in the course of the last four weeks from only one death in the week to 11, the successive numbers being 1,2, 5, 11 ; and bronchitis from 5 to 26.. The increase of mortality has been chiefly among the young and the old ; these have contributed 63, to the 96 deaths. Of the zymotic class of diseases; ' however, measles is the only one that presents 'air increase. The births in the week amounted to 52, namely, 24 boys and 28 girls. A memorial was presented from the owners and occupiers of property in the neighbourhood of Newgate-market, praying that certain proeeeding3 directed by the Commissioners of Sewers to be taken against them, as the owners of structures that were considered dangerous to the public, might stand over for the present. Mr. JAMES COYTE, a solicitor, appeared in sup• port of the memorial, which stat e d that the property at present was in a secure state,and that, pending the arrangements that were in progress for the format ion of a market, the result of which might be that the whole of the property in question would have to be pulled down, it would be advisable that no altera tions should be made, particularly as no inconve nience would thereby arise to the public. After some discussion, upon the motion of Mr. Deputy FARRAR, it was resolved that the prayer of the memorialists should be agreed to, and that no further proceedings be taken in the matter for six months. A return was presented which showed that during the months of October, November, and December, no fewer tha n 52,000 fish of di fferent descriptions had been seized in Billingsgate-market as unfit for human food. The court then adjourned, after disposing of the usual routine business. DESTITUTION IN THE METROPOLIS. " During this year, relying on the power of Heaven, I have succeeded in capturing Soochow and Hangch ow, and should now be pleased that the missionaries of every country would come forward, prepare, and make known the true principles of the Gospel to my neople, at which I should greatly rejoice beyond the power of expression, desiring that those who are of the same doctrine might soon become of the same heart ; the publication of this doctrine would then soon become general, and the right way be made clear ; ere long the whole coun try, even to its very borders, would practise Christ's system of worship, and publish it without limit. Truly would this be a flourishing, glorious result ! " I have reverently received the Imperial com mands to march through every Chow, Foo, and Hin. I myself wished to have an interview with the several foreign Commissioners, in order to ex plain and obtain instruction that we might mutually maintain a good understanding ; hut ultimately without appointment I marched to Shanghai, and unexpectedly there was a ship of your honourable country that seemed inclined to repel our approach to the place! Now our heavenly dynasty reveres the same heavenly system of worship equally with your honourable country, and of course we apper tain to the same discipleship ; why, then, se hastily repel us ? Why doubt and fear without knowing my designs ? Were my inmost thoughts and rea_ sons clearly known, you would perceive that I con sider your honourable country as equally benevolent with ours. If you truly without knowing drove us away, I am not disposed to quarrel with you about it; nor have deeply examined into the matter. Be cause several of my officers, having gone out three or four miles, and pitched their tents for a short time, waved a signal that Kahing was in jeopardy, I was therefore under the necessity of hastily assem bling my troops to march to the rescue. These are the facts in relation to my former visit to Shanghai. "Now as to the honourable countries the several Ministers of which are at Shanghai fostering the establishment of factories for commerce, I beg to remark to them, that:as commerce for these several past years in succession has been going on as it should, why not pursue the same road as in former days ? I myself am willing to treat with the seve ral Ministers, and according to the constant regu lations govern all the laws of the custom-house in relation to receiving duties, entirely acting upon the prepared rules, most certainly not increasing the duties ; because our heavenly dynasty, together with these honourable countries, revere the same heavenly system of worship, so that it may be said that all we under heaven so doing appertain to one family. Why should not all the brethren of the four seas throughout the world, east, west, north, and south, pursue the practice of peace and good will towards each other ? Taking all together, I beseech your honourable countries to exercise libe rality of thought towards us. 2, GREAT MARLBOROUGH-STREET, W., NEAR THE PANTHEON. DR.

And, more over, Christ's system of religion, which has hitherto only been practised in Western countries, now floua rishes in our middle country, China, which has had its commencement from our true and holy lord. Every foreign Minister near us in our country mast be able fully to know these things, his own eyes seeing and his own ears hearing them; hence I trust that he himself will early prepare a document, and carry the report to his own honourable country. Although upon rumination you should think the capital dis tant, yet the sails and wind will waft you thither in a short time. Do not upon beholding the great ocean turn back. " Though I have this year repeatedly urged a correspondence, yet I have not had the good for tune to receive a documentary reply, by which my mind might be delivered from perplexity and sus pense. " I have recently received the command to sub jugate the south, north, east, and west, without reference to the place of location. Although at the time of receiving the holy instructions I most de votedly designed their fulfilment in minutia, yet in embodying the way of carrying them out I did not purpose greatly producing disorder and destruc tion, bringing shame and remorse on myself. " At present the American missionary, Lo How chuen-sing-sang, with whom our true and holy lord, Hung-sow-chuen, was formetly acquainted in Large bodies of strong and hardy labouring men paraded the various parts of the metropolis yester day, giving utterance to their doleful complaints of being " frozen out," and unable to get work by means of which to feed themselves and families, and there can be no question that with few, if any, exceptions there is too much truth in their statements. The extreme severity of the weather, and the comparative length of time during which it has already lasted, has put a stop for the most part to the works connected with the main-drainage scheme, the under-ground railway, and other great undertakings in the metropolis, and the unfortunate men engaged upon them are thrown upon charity for their present means of subsistence. A public meeting, convened by the churchwardens of Christchurch, Blackfriars, was held in the vestry room of the parish church. The meeting was held for the purpose of adopting measures to meet the pressing and urgent wants of the labouring classes and the poor generally, caused by the stoppage of employment through the severity of the weather. Numerous influential parishioners were present, and the Rev. Joseph Brown, M.A., the rector, took the chair. He called the attention of the meeting to the state of the labouring classes, and from many letters of application ho had received, he found that the distress had reached a class above the poorer classes. They all knew that there was always a certain class who were willing to accept relief, but the distress had now reached those who sought to maintain themselves by their industry and labour. Mr. Richard Downs, one of the churchwardens, announced a list of contributions, amounting to upwards of £6O. Several gentlemen expressed a hope that care would be taken as to the distribution of the funds, and recommended that blankets and other articles of use should be issued on loan. A committee was then formed to canvass the parish throughout for subscriptions, and several additional amounts having been handed in, Mr. Frederick James Blake, jun., was requested to act as honorary secretary. Meetings with similar results were also held in other parts of London. About 400 persons, male and female, attended at the Marylebone workhouse for the purpose of ob taining relief. The guardians have given directions to Mr. Tubbs, the assistant overseer, to afford relief to the applicants who were in destitute circum stances, confining himself as far as possible to those who are residents in, and who are chargeable to, the parish. In compliance with this order on Saturday as many as 4,0001b5. of bread, &c., were distributed. At the Guildhall Police Court Alderman Mechi said he had very great pleasure in announcing that in consequence of the very seasonable gift by Mr. Swainston, of the Three Bucks, Old Jewry and Gresham-street, of 100 soup tickets, and the pub licity given to the donor's suggestion, other bene volent persons had come forward with similar assistance, and among them he must not omit to mention the very liberal contribution of Mr. Stubbs, the proprietor of the Trade Protection establish ment at the corner of King-street and Gresham street, who had provided for distribution among the starving poor of his own and the adjoining wards 1,000 quarts of good strong soup and 1,00 0 _ loaves of bread. Mr. Swainston, he nnderstoo..d. was also prepared to give 100 loaves of bread w ith itn w and the soup already provided at his own expens e, _eb given further to make the 1,000 quarts of soup without any charge for fire or labour_ by Mr. Stubbs at the cost price of the m at t e ° rials, and plicants for re- At the Thames Police-court trhee again ap very nume lief from the poor .box fund h e w :ring that a vast num rous, and Mr. Yardley, on l a bourers ewnsere Air.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the gates of the station-hou se yard were thrown open, and a tremendous rush took place. Great eagerness was manifested to obtain a sixpence or a shilling, and it required the utmost efforts of Inspectors Griffin and Hayes, of the K division, and a force of twenty five constables acting under their orders, to prevent accidents. The clothes of many were torn, and others received bodily injuries, but not of a serious nature. The inspectors, sergeants, and constables had a very arduous duty to perform, and they acted with great forbearance and good humour, admitting the poor creatures into the passage of the court ten or twelve at a time. They were speedily disposed of by Mr. Livingston, who was assisted by Denny, Kent, and Taplin, officers of the court, and by Mr. Preece, a coal meter, and an influential member of the vestry of Mile-end Old•town, who is well acquainted with the working classes of the port of London and the district generally. A few words of inquiry only were addressed to each individual, but imposition was almost impossible. Mr. Living ston paid 300 1.& each, 100 Gd. each, and about 200 more 2s. and 2s. Gd. each. There were upwards of 100 poor women craving relief in attendance, and they were directed to attend this day with letters of recommendation from persons known to the magistrate, and their cases would be attended to. The subscriptions forwarded to Mr. Yardley for the poor-box fund yesterday were unusually large. COVENTRY DISTRESS.—The amount raised in Bir mingham for the relief of the distressed at Coventry now amounts to nearly £3,000, in addition to which, Mr. John Walsh Walsh, one of the promoters of the fund, ha ! col lected and transmitted to Coventry a largq qua,utltY 01 clothing for thOSO who stand iu nod of it. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Canton, not regarding the distance of several thou sand le, has arrived, with whom I have had an in terview, availing myself of his full knowledge of the several countries that revere the heavenly sys tem of religion, his abilities to make known the mysteries of the Gospel in words to the near, and its idea to the distant, opening up their mow-suck —understandings ; and, moreover, he hes fully informed me concerning the business of my former approach to shanghai ; therefore, having come a distance of 70,000 le from his native country with the desire to publish the true doctrine in China, it is proper that he should be unrestrained in doing so. Our heavenly dynasty in the establishment of such a work for myriads of years will unite in promoting the effort to publish the Gospel, which may be called doctrine indeed, there not being enother sys tem of religion of like origin. Even should it not immediately produce harmony among neighbours and polish them well, yet, with united effort of body and mind, before long its holy doctrines shall attain their desired results. Where, then, can its confrere be found ? "Again, the New Testament, which your honour able country so greatly prizes, is that which our 'heavenly dynasty has cut :on blocks for printing ; and, though the languages are different, the mean ing is but one; and soon we shall obey it, regard it, and thoroughly eirculate it throughout China. But I truly fear that the yeomanry and common people may err with regard to the object of reve rence about which our heavenly' dynasty end your honourable country are united; and, having really erred, the deception may be handed down from generation to generation to no limited extent. " I have prepared this letter for your honourable country, and earnestly beg that you will have the important idea therein contained on the various subjects referred to translated for the infounation of those who do not understand, so that they may know the fact that our true and holy lord, Hung sow-chuen, has already published the true doc trine, which has been extensively circulated in the Middle Country—China. Hereafter, should we mutually act in concert, and not in opposition, the united efforts of our central and foreign countries as one body will, in its luminous manifestations, perfect the design of giving our holy religion and the Holy Scriptures to myriads of places, flowing down like a limpid stream in promulgation, through the attentive and obedient, from generation to ge neration. From this Central Count y—China, the Gospel will spread abroad, so that no distance will prevent it from bringing people under submission to Christ. Then all below heaven will be exceed ingly blessed, and all the people will exceedingly rejoice. " I. J. R., Translator.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the' nly duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form. closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in ihience of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions. dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which hanpily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmitie3.ln question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, arc thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chro lie embitterment by permanent content. Dr. La'3lert, M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hoi pita: Medical Society, &c., is the only legally qualified regis tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention to the treatment of these disorders.

A letter from Castellone, dated Jan. 8, says— The Piedmontese engineers display consummate ability in their works, but it is well for the parties engaged in erecting them that the enemy's artillery men are not as expert as those who were at Capua during Garibaldi's short siege. The practice of the Piedmontese artillery is splendid. Scarcely a shot fails in striking the top of the parapet of the enemy's batteries, and of the shells thrown into the town hardly one misses its aim. The defence of Gaeta is so badly conducted that the Piedmontese are not half so severely tried as the French were in 1806. Two days ago a flag of truce was sent in by Cial dini with a proposition to the Neapolitan com mander of an armistice of a few hours, in order to bury the dead, which were lying on the tract of land formed by the slope of Monte Tortola and the last declivity of Torre d'Orlando. After some delay an answer in the affirmative was re turned, and it was arranged that an hour should be granted for collecting and carrying away the dead. On this occasion some of the Piedmontese officers met their enemies upon that neutral ground, and civilities were of course exchanged. The Neapolitan officers, I hear, were rather reserved ; fearing, perhaps, that some one of their superiors was watching from the bastions, and might charge them with having too warmly fraternised with their northern coun trymen. At two o'clock the white flags were all hauled down in an instant, and the last fluttering bit of white bunting had scarcely disappeared over the parapet when the flash and roar of a gun from the Regina Battery announced that the war had begun once more. The Piedmontese almost simul taneously answered frem their Monte Tortola bat teries, and the ballo, as the Italians call it, was was carried on as usual. I have so often tiled, with so little success, to determine the day on which a general attack from the Piedmontese batteries is to begin that I feel disinclined to attempt it again. I am certain, however, that the great day is now near at hand, and that in a few days Europe will hear through the telegraph that the batteries of the besiegers have all opened fire against the doomed city. Then the question will be asked, " Are the Piedmontese going to try at once to open a breach, or will they only bombard the town and wait the result ?" Well, the question is not easily answered, for nobody can tell the effect which will be pro duced upon the half-demoralised soldiers of Franeis 11. by a tremendous bombardment. If, after a comparatively insignificant bombardment of 12 hours' duration, the Neapolitan gunners re fused to go back to the uncovered batteries of the right bastions, who can tell what they will do when the fire of 148 pieces is opened against the fortress ? On the other hand, they have plenty of covered batteries in which they can safely remain, and through the protection so unaccount ably given by Louis Napoleon to the King, Gaeta, having increased its stock of provisions, may hold out for many months to come. In this case the Piedmontese must of course try to open a breach, a thing which is not perhaps so difficult as people generally believe. Sad ne vas has reached us from Sicily. The Govern ment of Signors La Farina and Cordova has been upset by a popular demonstration. Had it not been for the calm and wise attitude of the Piedmontese General Brignone, a bloody conflict could not have been avoided, and the island would have been thrown into all the horrors of a civil war. What a misfortune that both political parties in Italy are net able to understand that by their animosity they are only playing the game of their enemies. It may be that the complaints of the Sicilians against the statesmen they have forced so abruptly to retire from office were well founded. But would it not have been better to wait for the meeting of Parliament to secure the redress of those com plaints, instead of hastening it by a popular demon stration I' I cannot help thinking that if the Government on the one hand, and the more advanced party on the other, do not come to an understanding, the cause of Italian unity will run great danger in Southern Italy. The adherents of Count Cavour say that all these misfortunes are caused by Signor Crispi and his friends ; the Republicans in their turn proclaim that the conduct of the new Govern ment towards Garibaldi was the cause of the general discontent which prevailed in that island. Be that as it may, it is certain that Italy and its noble cause will surely suffer if each party does not once for all sacrifice its complaints on the altar of the country. Mr. Wm. Adams Smith, a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has been for some time past resident in Naples, endeavouring by every means in his power—by petitions to the government; by published addresses in the jour nals to all classes, to the high as well as to the low ; by personally interesting influential persons, and by appeals to the police, to check the monstrous COURT OF ALDERMEN. A court of aldermen was held yesterday at the Guildhall ; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor pre sided. The minutes of the last court were, as usual, read and confirmed. J. EVANS, Esq., then introduced T. Dakin, Esq., the newly elected alderman for the ward of Candle wick, in the plaee of the late Sir G. Carroll, and that gentleman took the oaths, and was then intro duced, with the usual formalities by Mr. Sewell, the sword-bearer, to his brother aldermen, and took his seat among them. Upon the motion of Mr. Alderman COPELAND, seconded by Mr. Alderman WILSON, a resolution of condolence to the widow of the late lamented Alderman Sir G. Carroll, upon the loss she had sustained, was unanimously carried, as was also a motion that the resolution should be adver tised in the usual newspapers, and that a copy should be sent to the widow of the deceased gentle man. The next subject that was brought before the Court was one of a very important character, not only in reference to the interests of the corpora tion, but generally to the mercantile community of the City of London. It may lie recollected that at a recent Court a petition was presented by certain influential mer chants of the City, complaining of the conduct of one of the City brokers, named George Henry Darby Lawrence, in the performance of his duties. The usual course on such oecasious is to give notice to the party complained of, of the nature of the complaint made against him, and to call upon him to give an answer in writing and to appear before the Court and give any explanation he may think necessary, and the matter then stands over until the next Court. This was done, a n d u p on th e nex t occasion Mr. Sewell, a resp ons ibl e officer of the corporation, to whom these matters are usually en trusted, reported to the Court that he had used every practicable exertion in his power to serve the party complained of with the notice or summons of the court, but had been unable to do so. He stated that he found he had left the offices he had heretofore occupied, and all that was known of him was that he was supposed to have gone to the con tinent, but no one appeared to be able to give any definite information about him. Upon this state ment being made the next proceeding to be taken, according to the forms of the Court, was to give notice to the sureties of the party complained of of the application that had been made, and to call upon them to produce their principal, or in default of doing so to appear and answer for him; and ' this course was adopted, and the usual formal no tices were placed in the hands of Mr. Sewell to be served upon the parties, and the matter now again came before the Court. The TOWN CLERK having read the notice upon the paper of business, the Court proceeded to dis pose of it. The RECORDER inquired of Mr. Sewell whether he had served the notice upon the sureties of the party complained of, requiring them to attend. Mr. Sewell replied that he had not. This state ment evidently excited some surprise in the court, but he went on to explain that he endeavoured to the best of his power to serve them, but he found that one had been dead a considerable time; and with regard to the other, upon his going to the place where he had resided, he found that his house was pulled down, and no one knew anything about him, and persons of whom he made inquiry with regard to the supposed " surety" had never heard of such a person. (A laugh.) The Recorder inquired whether any of the peti tioners were present ? Mr. Sewell said they were not, but they were aware of the circumstances. The Recorder observed that as this was so, they no doubt thought it was unnecessary to be present. The only course that now could be taken in the matter was to adjourn the consideration of the petition sine die. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS accordingly put that motion to the court, and it was seconded by Mr. Alderman W. LAWRENCE, and carried. This question of " suretyship" is one of consider able importance, not only to the corporation of London but to those interested in the large amount of charitable funds which they have at their dis posal. Only a short time ago a case occurred in which it appeared that £3OO had been advanced by one of the City charities upon the security of three persons, and in the result, the borrower went into the Insolvent Court, two of his sureties were bank rupt, or men of straw, the third left the country, and the whole of the money was lost. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS, in the absence of Mr. Alderman Sidney, brought before the court the subject of the crowded state of some of the streets in Billingsgate ward from the great amount of traffic, and he moved that the matter should be referred to the General Purposes Committee. Mr. Alderman ROSE seconded the motion. Alderman FINNIs said he believed that any alte rations, so far as buildings were concerned would be attended with enormous expense, and t hat all the difficulty would be overcome by the appoint ment of extra constables. A few additional men had been employed occasio n ally, and it had had th e traffic. , effect of completely relieving the The LORD MAYOR said . PP' that a ication had been made to the Police Commissioner upon the subject, and his reply was that he could not find men enough to perform the duty. Alderman FINNIS observed that plenty of men could be found, if they would only lower the stan dard height half an inch. The motion was then put and carried. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS then moved that the thanks of the court be presented to the Rev. James Cohen, M.A., late chaplain to the City Prison, Hol loway, together with the sum of filly guineas, as a testimonial of their appreciation of his faithful ministry during the seventeen years he performed the duties of chaplain. The motion was carried, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned.
