The value of this tenement it is impossible cor rectly to estimate, as the greater part contains tin lodes, and veins of the richest quality—indeed, so rich has the tin been, that, to divide it equally between the miners, it has been found necessary to do so by weights and scales, and from this cir cumstsnce the Golden Tenement took its name. Setts, or grants, for working these lodes, are now applied for by James Halse, Esq. and Mr. Millet Thomas ; but the owner, having determined on selling the land, has refused to grant. For viewing the Premises apply to Capt. Greenfell, of Saint just, and the respective tenants; and for further particulars, to Mr. Borlase, solicitor, Camborne, at whose Office a Map of the Estate may be seen. N.B. The number of acres, and ages of the lives, are be lieved to be correct, but are not warranted to be so. DURHAM. TILTRWORTH AND CROFT BRIDGE.

Yesterday a Court of Common 'Council wag held for the election of Common Crier or City Serjeant-at-Arms,, and also , for the election, of a Town Clerk. The Court was tremely crowded, the pOpularity of the candidatel for 'the first earned office being very great. • The report of the nature and duties of the office Of COmmoti Crier or Serjeant-at-Arms was read: It stated that the of .1 appointed became one of the four Esquires of the Lord .51iyor's Household. Be was next in rank to the Sword-bearer, who' was the Lord Mayor's senior officer. It . ioas his duty to make' proclamations on the Exchange, in Cheapside, and at Saint Paul's,- where the crosses formerly stood. It was his privilege to carry the city mace before the Lord Mayor on state days. It was his duty to open the Courts of Hustings and Common; Hall, and to adjourn them. It was the opinion of the C0m... , mittee that a number of the fees belonging to 'the office °Vett ." to be discontinued. The fixed salary they recommedned" should be 4001. per annum, which, with the fees they thought- should remain, would amount nearly to 500/. The report was .- - then adopted. A Report of the Committee appointed to inquire Into the nature and duties of the office of Town Clerk was read. It• stated that the most important duty was the custody of the city records and ntuniments ; and the committee made a re commendation (one, by the bye, which showed that they have • formed an absurdly important opinion orthe interest or value • of their old papers to the public) . that no person should be permitted to have access to the City records, except upon an order from the Court of Common Council of the Court of AI«• dennen; and that every person who made copies in conse quence of such order or permission, should be compelled to pay eight pence for every 72 words he copied. They recom mended that the Town Clerk should be compelled to give -ev tracts gratis to the members of the Court. It was his duty to', make entries, minutes, and indexes, of all the corporate proceedings, and to give various notices. The Committee re-; commended a salary of 3,5001., from which there would be a. deduction of 1,5001. to maintain an establishment of clerks,. leaving a clear salary of 2,000/., including an official resi dence at the charge of the Corporation. The Committee re commend the abolition of fees of office as much as possible and that the stipend should be fixed, and as little dependent upon casualties as could be regulated. Mr. Deputy ROUTH moved, that the Report should •be received. Alderman Bnowat was of opinion that an individual of the highest character might be found who would gladly un dertake the duties of the situation at a far smaller sum than_ that which had been recommended. There could not be a doubt as to the individual on whom the choice of the Court would and ought to fall, but in the present state of the City funds, he thought the salary was excessive. He moved as an amendment, that the Report should be printed, and that the election should be adjourned, in order that the Court should have full time to consider maturely the nature of the office, the alterations that should be made, and the remu neration that should be given to the person appointed for. his labours. IiIiIICOMBE opposed the amendment. The Court was bound, he said, to provide liberally for the person who filled so very high and important an office. He did not doubt that thousands could be found who would execute all the duties of the office for one-half the sum, or indeed for any sum at al/ : but was the Court therefore to diminish the profits ? There was not a situation that could be named for which candidates would not start up at a tenth part of the pecuniary recompense, but that, in hi> opinion, was no reason why a reduction should take place, especially when the office was one of the most confider,- ttal nature, and in which talent and unwearied attention were indispensable.—(Hear !) Alderman BltowN.—You have misrepresented the ground on which I have made the'position. I say that individuals, a high character and talent, anti of high rank too, may be found to take such an office at a smaller sum. 111 r. JIIIRCOMBE said, the committee had paid the Most se rious consideration to the subject. They had inquired into all the circumstances connected with the office most diligently, and the Court, he believed, would not hesitate a moment in adopt ing the report. Mr. JONES said the Committee had' been divided amongst themselves upon the subject, and the Court should be allowed to consider the matter themselves. Mr. Deputy DAW did not see that any danger could arise from fully considering the subject. Air. OLDEAnt thought the allowance of 1,5001- a-yeir was by no means excessive for an establishment of seven clerks •re quisite to assist the Town-clerk ; but he considered that the en tire salary ought to undergo some reduction. He therefore sup ported the amendment. The question was then put, and the amendment Was carried by a considerable majority. EQUITABLE LOAN BANE COMPANY. The City Remembtancer made some statement which' we could not distinctly hear, but which, we understand, mentioned the intention of the Loan Bank Company to apply for a charter. A resolution was then proposed, to the effect that it should be referred to the Committee of General Purposes to watch the proceedings of the Equitable Loan Bank Company in any ap plication which they might make for a Royal charter, and. to report to the Court thereon. Alderman BROWN could not give a silent vote upon the sub ject. He thought that public companies, except for publicpur. poses, which could not be effected by individual capital, or tridi-, vidual exertions, were public nuisances. The Corporation„ - aS the landlords of a great number of 'the shopkeepers, on Whose prosperity they depended for those rents which formed so•large a portion of the city revenue, were bound to use every effort to defeat this combination against individual exertions. Combi nations of this kind, if they succeeded, nust ruin a greschtiva ber of the citizens of London.—(Hear, hear I) • ~ Resolution agreed to. The election of Common Crier was proceeded in. A bitllot took place, when there appeared for Mr. Beddome, 110 ;. for Mr. Nalder, 97. Mr. Beddome was declared duly electeil•— The Court then adjourned. ; , ALARMING FIRES. .' • , The neighbourhood of Temple-bar,, and the western part of the city, was thrown into considerable 'alarm, in consequence of a bre breaking out, last evening, - ife the Strand, near Temple-bar. Abo u t h a lf-p ast nine.O'ock,,,one of the watchmen saw the flames rising .in the. interi9i, Of, the house of Mr. Ilarris, a tailor, of 222 , in the Strand."'The alarm immediately became general • ' and 'as it was *ean - led. no one was in the house, the watchman and some strangers, who were passing, burst open the . doors. The watchmen state, that at that period the staircase appeared to be the' only part onjire. One of the watchmen observed a hed'in'the tack parlour, and as he imagined, some o n e m i g h t b e t h ere, an d probably suffocated from the intense smoke, he examined the room, but his suspicions were happily groundless. In Very short time the flames burst through the floors up to thelvof of the house, and burst with great violence through the. front windows. The house of Mr. Essex, the pawnbroker *its as might reasonably be expected, in a short time on'fire; bill it hap. pened very fortunately that the greater part of. Mr. EsSex'kValu• able property was placed on the other side of • the premises,: ,The houses destroyed are situate directly in the, front 'of Palsgrave place, and fears were entertained that the houses in thatron fim d situation would have taken fire. The glare of lightwhich . illumined the metropolis induced many to consider._ that not only Palsgrave-place, but that Twining's warehonse, andtther equally valuable establishments were on tire. ' 'rhe.w.hOle of the upper part of Mr. E.'s house is destroyed, but his jewellery and other valuable articles have escaped the flanies. The house of 11r. Price, an umbrella-maker, which adjoins Mr. Ifitfris's house, is also very considerably injured. Mr. Price was not insured and, ia the anxiety to save his furniture . , kc,, it was thrown from the windows into the street, and was nearly brbkeii ti pieces. There scented to be a good Supply-of water' and, owing to the exertions of the tiremen,-the confiagrationwasipre vented spreading further than we have stated. , , l'esttrlay morning, at five o'clock, a fire broke:bul in the in.wer i art of the house of 141 r. :)mith, dealer in i.-hat '441.;.1% - 0.3, Bland turd Mews, •Blantlford.street; Marylehcare, whtntr'.yr u s not.extinguished till the.loWer part of the house and4itoCle in fires last )thbey:tohneee-xinerlcl'Os'sil'ielt.ri);ltnhee trade were consumed.
