Mr. ROCHE very much doubta'l whether the Board had the power to grant retiring pensions. Mr. SMITH, the solicitor, advised the Board that P - tey had the power to grant this pension.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, A special Court of Common Council was held yesterday for the purpose of considering the report of the Royal En tertainment Committee, appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the reception of the Prince and Princess of Wales at the ball at Guildhall, last June, and other business. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. Ii will be remembered that when the report of the Enter tainment Committee was originally brought up a good deal of discussion took place respecting it, in consequence of a statement that was made by Deputy Elliott, that large quan tities of valuable articles that had been procured ;corn diffe rent tradesmen for the purposes of the entertainment had been divided among certain members of the committee ; and also that they had expended a very considerable sum of money for wines, luncheons, and other refreshment. The discussion upon the report was postponed, and severe' no tices of motion were placed upon the paper of business of this court in reference to the subject, and those motions now came on for discussion. Deputy BURNELL brought forward the first motion as an amendment to the reception of the report, which was to the effect that the committee be dissolved, end that the Court re gretted to find that several Articles the property of the cor poration had been approptietid to certain members of the committee, in contravention of the striding orders of the Court, and impairing the dignity of its members. He said that no doubt the entertainment committee had ceteied out in a very satisfactory manner the object for which it was appointed, but it appeared to him that by their subsequent proceedings a minority of the committee had entirely spoiled the good efect. (Hear, hear.) He then ellnded to the charges that had been made of several members of the com mittee having taken costly articles to their own use, that were undoubtedly the property of the Corporation ; and said that although possibly some members of the covet might think it advisable that the matter should be passed over without discussion, he was not one of those who entertained that opinion, but felt on the contrary that the honour and dignity of the court end the Corporation of London were deeply involved in the matter, and with a N.OW to prevent such a proceeding from occurring again, he hoped his pre sent motion would be agreed to, (Hear, hear.) Deputy PERKINS seconded the motion, and a long debate ensued upon it. Mr. HARRIS said that although he was a member 6f the committee, he did not approve of the proceedings they had taken with regard to the presents that had been made to their chairman, Mr. Ttuscott. He suggested that the com mittee should apply to the court for its sanction for tPs course, which he was sure would have been granted. If they had done so, there would have been no wound for the outcry that had been made upon the subject, and the z idicule that had been oast upon the Corporation in consequence. (11, ar. hear.) After the long time that had elapsed, hey/ever, it appeared to him that the best cows() was to 10 , , the matter drop, as any further discussion must not only be unpleasant to the Corporation, but also to the high and illustrious per son,iges for whom tho entertainment was pros ided. ( Hear.) Deputy ELLIOTT complained that an emendment ho had placed upon the paper fur discussion had not been brought on for discussion before the motion of Deputy Burnell. He said that he was not actuated by any hostile feeling towards the committee, and certainly not towards the chairman, Mr. Truscott, who he had no hesitation in saying was " a jolly good fellow"—(hear, hear, and laughter)—and he had only taken the matter up out of respect to the Corporation, and to endeavour to prevent the repetition of what he considered to be a most improper proceeding on the part of the commit tee. Those who occupied the position they had done in providing for the entertainment of Royalty were sometimes supposed to be satisfied by the honour they acquired by their position, but most undoubtedly the committed, besides honour, had had a very good share of solid pudding. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He found by their report that they had spent £243 in luncheons,£277 in a breaking. up frolic on the river, and £l7O for wine, and, in point of fact, out of the total cost of the entertainment, which was £16,000, ho cal culated that the committee had engrossed £2,300 for them selves. (Oh, oh, and hear, hear.) The cost of each person invited was about £7 10s. per ticket, and, besides their own tickets, the committee appropriated 160 others for their own use, which, at the sum stated, amounted N more than £l,lOO. With reference to this subject, he might state that occasion when her Majesty attended a City ban quetu p o n the heknew that £4O was offered for a ticket, so that the Court might judge the extent of patronage obtained by the committee by having so many tickets. (Oh, oh.) Deputy Elliott went on to oxpreas his opinion that the committee had exceeded the powers vested in them by the Court, and that the expenditure they incurred was very much larger than it ought to have been, and he reminded the Court that upon the occasion when King William visited the City the cost , of the entertainment was only £3,000, upon the visit of her Majesty it was only £6,000 ; but upon the last occa sion £15,000 was expended through the unnecessary extra vagance of the committee. Mr. BLAKE said, as one of the members of the Royal Entertainment Committee, he had no hesitation in stating in reference to the statements that had been made by Deputy Elliott on the present and former occasion that they had very little foundation of truth in them. Mr. SLOWMAN, another member of the committee, made a statement to the same effect, and said that so far as h e was concerned all the property that came to hie share was a wooden•backed hair brush, which he only prized as ame • mento of the interesting occasion. Mr. WHEELER considered Deputy Elliott was quite jus tified in the course he had taken, and that the public would not be satisfied unless the Corporation took cime steps in the matter. Mr. Rows said he could not agree with the opinion that the Court was under obligation to Deputy Elliott for the course he had taken in this matter, as he considered that nothing was more calculated to bring the Court into ridicule and contempt. The statements that were made upon the subject were only "nuts" to the public, and he hoped the matter would be dropped. NORTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day, at York, Mr. H. S. Thompson, M.P., in the chair. The report was taken as read, The CHAIRMAN then made soma remarks on the position and prospects of the company, end in defence of the policy pursued by the directors. He concluded by moving that the report be received and adopted. Mr. Alderman LEEMAN (the vice-chairman) seconded the motion. _ _ A long discussion then took piece, and the report was finally adopted. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the dividends recom mended by the directors, which are to be paid on the 27th 'n t._ _ _ Mr, KITSON, of Leeds, seconded the motion, which wag carried. The CHAIRMAN next moved that the construction of a line from York, via Selby, to the Great Northern Railway near Askern, was expedient, and that the directors proceed with the bill introduced into Parliament. " • Mr. HARTLEY seconded the motion, and it was carried. The CHAIRMAN proposed a motion approving the ocu struction of a branch from Church Fenton to Micklefield, t 3 shorten the communication between York and Leeds, Mr. PRIRSTMAN seconded the motion, and it was carried . The directors were also authorised to proce:d with the bill for the construction of the short branches at Bishop Auckland and at :Deere, in Cumberland. The retiring directors were re-elected, and the proceeding° concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. STAINES, WOKINGHAM, AND WOKING. The report of the directors states that the expenditure on capital account during the half-year amounted to £139 for unsettled land claims. Loans to the amount of £1,300, bearing interest at 5 per cent., had been paid off, and £1,400 borrowed at 41 per cent„ making up the debentures now issued to £90,000. The balance standing to the credit of profit and loss account is £2,506, out of which the directors recommend dividends to Dec. 21 last—namely, 5 per cent. per annum on the preference shares, amounting, less income tax, to £1,214, and 2s. per share, or 1 per cent. per annum, on the ordinary shares amounting, less income tax, to £1,238, leaving £54 for the next account. The capital no oonnt shows that £393,003 had been expended, leaving a balance of £832. The revenue receipts for the half. year ending Dec. 31 amounted to £9,576, and the expenditure to £5,092, leaving a balance of £4,485, from which is deducted £2,013 for interest on debentures, leaving a balance of £2,473. Deputy DE JERSEY expressed his opinion that the state ments sande by the committee in their own report, and the omissions, were quite sufficient to justify further inquiry, and that when a committee was appointed by that Court for any specific purpose, they ought to take care that all their proceedings would bear the light of day, (Hear, hear.) there was not a word in the report about the sum of 2350 having been expended in luncheons, and although he, of course, was aware the committee had a perfect right to have refreshments, the amount so expended ought not to be kept out of their report. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COCKERELL said he hoped the matter would be al lowed to drop. The committee had no doubt transgressed the standing orders of the Court, bat he thought they had suffered quite enough for what they had done. Deputy FRY expressed the same view, end said that what already taken place would completely answer the object in view, and the Court might feel assured that no similar committee would ever at in the same way again, or dispose of any property without the sanction of the Court. The motion of Deputy Burnell, after some further discus sion, was put by the Recorder, and declared to be negatived. Deputy ELLIOTT then proposed another amendment to the effect that the subject should be referred to a special com • reittee,lto consider and report how far the committee in ques tion was justified by ancient usage and custom in appropriat ing to their own use various costly goods the property of the Corporation, and also by what means the expenditure of special committees may in future be under the same control as that to which all other committees are subject. Mr. TRUSCOTT, the chairman of the Entertainment Com mittee, after some discussion had taken place upon this amendment, briefly addressed the Court, and said ho conAdered he hid already fully answered all the charges that were wide against the committee, and that on the present occasion ho etmeidered tee should hest consult the f ----- IN L'W S PM?

The President's hammer after the first round of cocktails, having induced silence (unusual among Yankees), the War Minister If Plymouth Church, and the " Greek and Hell fire," Dr. Browmson, forgetting sectarian differences, shook homes. Beecher not forgetting to hint, that if the Arch bishop stripped the fiery doctor for disolwdience, he would be but too happy 1 . 0 have play #iceond fiddle, as ho could admit no equal or over a e.rdju tor. The learned doctor dissented, thinking him• self the best man of the two. The President called for a bumper, Rad. gave the health of his reverend friend, " Ward. Beecher," whom ho sent to Europe to raise lliP . r.. , hut ches, and got up a feeling in ikvour of the North. This wes difficult to do, except in Russia, as those ignorant and uneducated Europeans, looked on itto Great Republic, acting the same despotic part la America as Russia was doing in Poland with an evil eye, Ell being favourable to the South, fighting for their in dependence, an d b e i ng well supplied witkeho sin ews of war, he got a good many supporters 'there by spending some of Uacle.Sam's gold " slug 5, " all the greenbacks being returned as useless, wb ich his his friend Chase would have good use for he re. He would not further detain the crowd, but give the health of the Cock of Brooklyn, which was drink with all due honours. The rev. gentleman replied with his u sual modesty, etsting that on his arrival in Engin d he found the feeling of the people against the North cni in favour of the South, with the exception of tha Manchester school, headed by Bright, Cobd.en, and Leathem, who wished to have a Republic Zile thi s , where a cotton spinner, rail splitter, or vol;e buyer might be President in place of a Queen, an.d a new emancipation and clerical party who looked on Brougham, Wilberforce, and such claptrap a as old fogies, and on the Church as sheer nonsex use—his particular friend Baptist Noel having seceded from it. With these exceptions he found public opin ion and all the churches against them. However, by his blarney, economy of the truth, oratory, and being all things to all men, he showed the Bri. Ostlers that the Northerns were the " hail faillows" of the blacks, whom they•all looked on as " mon and brothers"—(no, no)—and that in a short time they would all through the North have mix rd mar riages between pure niggers and Fifth Avenue beauties, and coloured ladies with the Broadway swells. (No, no, no.) Bat what pleased him most was the great terror he infused into the chief nien —Lord Russell eating up his word of "Empire and dominion" and cowering to the " Live Yankees'' by seizing the Confederate :rams, though allowing us to get what we wanted. The North had no better friend in Europe. than Lord Russell. On this account he must, com plain of Secretary Chase wanting to pull England by the hair. Such a threat was quite unnecessary, as Lord Russell was now their best backer, break ing all international law in our favour and doing all be could to injure the rebels. Only for him France long ago would have recognised the South. Before sitting down he would give the health of friend Bright and the free-traders of England but protectionists of America—may they soon esteklish a Republic in England with Bright es President, when the country will enjoy the same peace, liberty, and happiness as we now enjoy under the mildest of Presidents and most sagacious and prophetical of Secretaries, The President and Company rose to do honour to the toast of the " Agrarian Tribune of Englan a," and to show his high sense of Mr. Bright's anti- English but American services he had grent.ed a free pardon to a convicted pirate at his request which he would not have dote for the Queen of Euplaad ar Emperor of the French, The only real friends the United States had in Europe were the Czar of Russia and Bright e„n d hie party in England. Mr. Ssward got nn to say that as soon. as this war eyes over the Monroe doctrine shoulct be en forced—Napoleon driven from Mexico, and the British out of Canada and Nora Se.otia ; would only leave thena Newfoundland to take , codfish. "On to Canada" was his watchword. H showNl that he did not care three pins fur Ergian4.,..by 'noting Wilkes to bo an admiral for eeiz.sng the Trent, and sending that eminent statesman Caseias Marcellus Clay nominally as ambassador to Russia, but, in reality, to raise a rebellion in Ireland and India, referring to the Congress Blue Book as the subject. Mr. Chase then started on his legs, threatening that England must foot all the claims for the losses sustained by the Southern pirates, giving a hint to the owners to quadruple them. He thought that Welles ought to have bought the rams, instead of Epending his money in useless ships and worthless ironclads. Mr. Welles rose, rather excited, saying that having no gold to pay, the English builders refused to take Chase's greenbacks, in which they were quite right, as they never would be paid. He congratulated them in a war with England, as Captain Baldwin, of the Vanderbilt, had done double as mach as Wilkes, seizing a British ship in British waters, and British coal on British soil, and holding them too. Now, if Palmerston or Russell had the spunk, they could take up the gauntlet thrown down to them, but they were afraid of this almighty country which could, would, and will whip all creation.--. Cork Reporter. PROPOSED RAILWAYS IN TILE METROPOLIS. A deputation from the iniribitanta of Euston-square and neighbourhood attended the Board to present a memorial on the subject of the various railways proposed to be con structed on the site of Euston-square. The memorial stated that the inhabitants of Euston square and neighbourhood with the feelings of alarm the notices which had been given for the construction of the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway,: and the North-Westor4 and Charin-cross Junction, Railway, which tvould materially interfere with the present open spaces which were necessary for the health of the inhabi tants, end would also destroy a great deal of very valuable property. They also urged that much better routes might be selected for these railways than were now propose Mr. SPENCER addresse I the Board at considerable length in support of the memorial, which, on the motion of Mr. SILAS TAYLOR, was referred to the Streets Committee for consideration and report. SURVEYS FOR GAS AND WATER PIPES, TELEGRAPHS, &C. A deputation from the different metropolitan gas coin panies attended the Board to present a memorial on the subject of laying gas mains in subways, Ice. The memorial stated that subways were not suitable for gas mains, for if gas was mixed with common air it became explosive, and in:confined andlimited placeawas exceedingly dangerous. It was impossible to prevent the escape of gas. by reason of the rapid decay of pipes, and as all works in sub ways would have to be performed by artificial light, escapes immediate explosion. o T f he gas in w em ou o l r d ial be w su en bj t ea to to say y mo t s h t a i t ra frequent connec tions with mains had to be made, but in a dark and confined space that would be at all times difficult and dangerous, and in cases which large mains are to be connected quite impracticable, as such work could not be performed by arti ficial light, and without more fresh air than could be ob tained in any confined space. Men when working in an atmosphere containing much gas, even in the open air, had great difficulty in doing their work effectively, often fainting away, and in a close subway their lives would be endangered. It was also urged that escaped gas in subways might be readily fired by the carelessness of workmen and even by a lucifer match accidentally thrown down a ventilator, and accidents of the kind occurred in sewers in Clerkenwoll and in the Strand, by which a number of houses were materially injured, and by an explosion of gas in a subway at Green wich, by which one workman was killed and another was seriously injured. Therefore, while admitting the useful ness of subways, they hoped the Board would protect the public and the gas companies from danger to life and pro perty by exempting gas mines from the Subways Bill. Mr. support of the memorial. • The CHAIRMAN said, at an e arl y p eri od in the existence RI CIIARDS a ddressed the Board in of the Board their attention hs d been called to the evil of damagethestr streets ettos thebeing o frequ ently a s d o e, broken utio n up, causing not only to the traffic, The but p attention of the Board was al so drawn to mother, but not iater r less evil, which was the subsoil of London, which had been referred to. The escaped gas became mixed with the sub soil, and it became dangerous to public health.l 3 The Board had not rushed into this subject without the ;ullest inquiry, for they offered premiums for the best designs for a subway, and those designs %fere referred to a committee, among whom were the late Ar. Robert Stephenson, Mr. Hawksley, Mr. Wyatt, Mr. W. Cubitt, the late Mr. Alex ander Wright, Mr. Bazalgotta and Mr. Marrable, and they gave the fullest consideration to the subject. They believed that they should be able to prevent the escape of gas, as the pipes would be painted, and the joints could be frequently examined. They also considered that there would be the additional advantage, in an eccumnieal point of view, by en abling gas companies to lay down their pipes without dis turbing the roadway, and thug save the expense of relaying , the road, As these subways were formed. at the expellee of The Wife Mnrder at Birmingham, The inquest on the body of the woman Sarah Ann Hall, who was shot by her husband on Tuesday night last, was held at the Green Man Tavern, Dartmouth-street, Birmingham, yesterday afternoon before Dr. B. Davis, borough coroner. The mur derer, George Hall, was present in custody, and appeared to be very much affected by the dreadful position in which he stands. The eviden ce given fully bore out the brief statement o f the facts of the case which were given in our co.. lumns yesterday, and it was shown th a t w hil e they lived together deceased and her husba n d Were con stantly quarrelling, and that after sh e h ad left him intima cy became et very in je a a ll lo fi us ve of w h i e t r uesses wore With examined. s h w e ee arth The first was the mother of deceased, who spoke about the position in which she stood towards her husband, and of her going out With him on the night when she was shot. Police constable Golden said that about midnight on Tuesday he was in Dart mouth-street, when he heard th e report of a pistol, and on going to the spot from where it proceeded, he found deceased lying on the ground wounded. Mr. Lingard, the landlord of the Wellington Tavern, said that about half-past 12 o'clock on the night in question the prisoner, George Hall, came to his house, and, producing two pistols from his breast, said he had murdered his wife. Police-eon stable Bromage said that at about one o'clock a man came to him with the pistols, and said that Hall had shot his wife with one of them. On this witness went to the house of Hall's father in Farm-street, Where he found the prisoner. On charging him with the murder, he said, " Yes ; 1 did it," and before he was handcuffed he shook hands with his father, mad brother, and sister, and said he hoped to meet them in heaven.
