The Chairman—Without seeking to disparage the Court of Aldermen, is it not a matter of fact that there is now a wider separation between the corporation and the great merchants of the City than there used to be in the days of Sir Thomas Gresham ? The Lord Mayor—Circumstances have greatly changed since then. Formerly all persons trading in the City were compelled to reside in it, or they lost their freedom. Again, the desire of the great merchants now a-days is chiefly to enrich themselves by their callings, and to avoid the performance of municipal duties which the ancient charters imposed on all the citizens. Mr. C. Lewis--May it not be that the duties of an alderman have greatly increased within the last hun dred years ; and would that not account for the indis position of the merchants to take the office ? The Lord Mayor—Of course, it is difficult to make a comparison between the duties at the two periods ; but I believe that the magisterial business and the duties of prison visitation have either increased, or have cer tainly been more regularly performed than they were in former days ; and that more time is now given to the discharge of the duties of the office of alderman. Mr. C. Lewis—Do many of the present aldermen reside within the City ? The Lord Mayor—l do not think there is one of them at present who haerniore than a business connection with the City. Passind from that subject, I would now beg eave / 16 give my general opinion of the corporation of L ondon ; but, in the suggestions which I may make, . - • i His lordship then withdrew. Mr. Alderman Farebrother examined : He said he at tended there that day in pursuance of a resolution of a committee of the Court of Aldermen, for the purpose of expressing their entire approbation of and concurrence in the statement delivered to the commissioners by the learned Recorder. He was also prepared to answer any question which the commissioners might please to put to him connected with the court of which he was a mem ber. He must take leave to state that he could not but express his surprise that the right hon. the Lord Mayor should have volunteered to offer the suggestions which he had just made without any communication with his colleagues and without their sanction. What his lord ship had recommended might or might not be very good and very correct; but the resolution to which the corpo ration had come was to conclude their answer to all the charges and accusations which had been brought against them in the first place, reserving to a subsequentocca sion, when all the evidence which the commissioners wished to take should have been closed, the task of sub mitting to the commissioners any scheme or any sug gestions for alterations in the corporation which a review of the whole of the evidence taken might justify. The Chairman stated that it was not the wish of the commissioners to urge any member of the corporation to make statements which he did not voluntarily and freely offer ; and they had distinctly understood that the sug gestions which had just been made for a reform of the corporation by the Lord Mayor were simply the opinion of his Lordship individually, and not as the representa tive of the corporation. Alderman Farebrother might take the liberty of ob serving, in reference to the recommendation of his lord ship respecting the appointment by the aldermen of two passed police magistrateslB 3 ievrfeorr wasthe I C lr i e t a y d , y th g a i t v b en y t t a he th P e o c li a c n e r A t Act Aldermen to appoint a necessary by thep‘oilnianbeiritaygi attend rendered o s magistrate a t thee when aldermen iit w to s to their magisterial duties.

He could, therefore, in the meantime, only assure the commission that the anxious desire of the corporation was to consider every matter, not as a ques tion affecting that body individually, but as affecting ' the interests of the public at large. The Chairman said that it would be the duty of the commissioners to receive with attention any suggestions emanating in the manner indicated from the corporation itself.

A Baltic fleet would be of no use until April. It was about that time in the "olden days " when the fleet under Sir James Saumarez used to rendezvous in Wingo Sound, the outer road of Guttenberg, and the entrance of the Kattegat, and thence proceed up the Baltic, the larger ships by the Belts, the smaller craft by the Sound, through which, by-the-bye, our present heavily drawing line-of-battle ships could hardly pass, even lightened, for if our memory serves us there is only twenty four feet water on the "grounds," a sort of bar after passing Copenhagen. In the Belts, Great and Little, there is, we believe, ample depth, and in them in the last war we brought down twice a year convoys of 300 and 400 sail, in spite of our brave and enterprising enemies the Danes. We belie - ve Earl Dundonald will be offered the chief command of the Baltic Fleet, having under him Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Napier and Rear-Admiral Corry, but of these selections we may possibly know more posi tively very shortly.—From the Hampshire and Ports mouth Herald. GUILDHALL.— CharIes Bennett, lately a clerk in the service of Messrs. Hutton and Co., of Newgate street, was brought up on remand before Alderman Salomons, upon a charge of embezzlement. It appeared that the prisoner had been discharged by the prosecutors about ten days or a fortnight, and that he subsequently sent for one of the clerks and told him he had received various sums of money, in all about 71. or Si. from several of Messrs. Hutton's customers, while in the employ of the prosecutors, and had not accounted for them. Evidence was given of the above statement, and a solicitor attended and said the prosecutors had no wish to press the charge any further, and produced a medical certificate, that the prisoner's father, who was a highly respectable man, was in such a precarious state of health that any sudden excitement would be exceed ingly injurious to him and might prove fatal. Under these circumstances Messrs. Hutton would rather not offer any further evidence, and hoped the worthy alder man would deem the few days' imprisonment the pri soner had suffered since the hearing of the case, a sufficient punishment. Alderman Salomons said if the Messrs. Hutton were willing to take the young man back into their employ, he would have no difficulty in entertaining their view of the case ; but he thought, as they charged the prisoner for the sake of example to others in their employ, they ought not to seek to throw the whole responsibility of discharging a prisoner upon the magistrate., Mr. Hutton said they could not take the prisoner into their service again. The solicitor said the father would send the prisoner abroad if the alderman would liberate him from the pre sent charge. Alderman Salomons said a similar case came before him on the day previous, and although it was extremely painful to his feelings to act in opposition to the recom• dation of the prosecutors, he felt it his duty to send the unfortunate prisoner for trial. The same difficulty pre sented itself to his mind in this case, and the only way he could see of meeting it was by the father undertaking to carry out the arrangement proposed, and to take care of him in the interim.
