The betting was almost exchisively con fined to the events decided at the latter place.

In order to give her a little more dip forward, for wch a mechanical reason might be assigned, the chain cables *ero got up and laid for ward, and about 40 tons of iron pig I?allast were put on board. The only alteration made in her draft was 9in., and this judi cious alteration was made at the reqiest of the master ship wright hero, iu consequence of the state of the tides, to assist her iu entering the basin. At the time of tide she was taken into the basin there were only twenty-four feet at the entrance, and the ship then drew twenty-two feet six inches aft. If, therefore, this alteration in her trim gave her eighteen inches clear, instead of nine inches, the latter, no doubt, the professional officers thought, would be rather too close a shave, as the chances were e lfie part of the rudder heel might have received a fractur s the mainpiecc of the rudder was broken close under the trunk), and thereby COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

They are either hulks or receiving ships. But taking the Ingermanland, the ship that has paid one or two visits to our ports, as a specimen, they are neverthe less formidable ships, well armed and well manned by experienced gunners and seamen. Of the frigates it will be see❑ the Aurora is the ship at Valparaiso, and the Diana is the ve-ssel that had left Rio by last advices to join the former. The Pallas will be remembered as hav ing been at Spithead with the Grand Duke. She is a fine first-class frigate, and most heavily armed. The most powerful steamer, the Kamschatka, will be recognised by many as having paid a visit to Portsmouth, on her way from the United States to Cronstadt. But her machinery is not first-rate, and she would. stand no chance alongside of the Leopard. The five new screw-ships building would have been fitted with machinery of 540 and 450 horse-power, by Napier of Glasgow, 360 by Penn, and 350 and 300, we believe, by Maudslay and Field. These engines, having been seized by she British Government, will be com pleted and fitted to the 650 ton ships Industry, Supply, &c., purchased by the Admiralty as store and troop vessels. THE CORPORATION REPORT. Thursday a court was held for the despatch of public business. The LORD 111AroR informed the court that he had re- ceived an official communication from Lord Palmerston, enclosing the report of the Commissioners of Corpo ration inquiry, and he wished to know whether it was the pleasure of the court to go into the consideration of the contents at once, or to postpone the matter to a special day. BETTING AT THE `VEST-END. The following bets were made on Thursday at The Club:— DERBY. 220 to 20 agst Andover (t) 1000 to 20 Prince Arthur (t) 60 to 50 Autocrat and King Tom (t) Even betting between Autocrat and King Tom—King Tom for choice.

Captain Giffard, the commander of the Tisi ger, which a son of is sup posed to have been captured by the Rusans, is Admiral Giffard, of Southampton. The naval instructor of the Tiger is Mr. Sullivan, who formerly belonged to the Ord nance Department at S o uthampton and Men . Yesterday, two more Russian prizes, the Aland a be con tor, were publicly n oted on the Royal Exchange to demned as lawful prizes to the captors by the Court of Ad , miralty within 20 days of the above notice. Intelligence was received yesterday, under date Christian sand, May 6, that a Russian ship, alleged to be the Yssel, had been captured off that port by one of her Majesty's steam ' ers. Three other Russian vessels —namely, the Themis, Ocean, and Vier Gebroeders, took refuge within the port , a nd thereby escaped capture. A Greek vessel named the San Spiridione was noted yester day at Lloyd's as having been captured at Malta, laden with muskets fur tie Greek iusurgents, shipped at Antwerp. She, with her cargo, is to be sent home to the p ort of London to be condemned by the Court of Admiralty as a lawful prize, her cargo being contraband of war. The Tribune, 31, screw steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, has taken in powder. shell, ttc. Her officers and crew are busily engaged drawing and taking on board provi4ous and stores. She will complete her stowage of coals by taking 90 tons to fill up her coal-bunkers. She is ordered to be ready to leave Sheerness on Tuesday next. The Resistance, 10, troopship, Master Commander Man ser Bradshaw, will complete her loading to-day. She will receive ou board an extra screw-propeller, and the shafts and gear connected therewith, for the Caesar, 91, now in the Baltic. Tue prize crews from the prizes sent h me by the [mperieuse and the James Watt will take a passage out in the Resistance to join their respective ships. The Resistance also takes the mail, and is ordered to be ready to leave Sheer ness ou Sunday next. She is loaded exceedingly deep with ammunition, shell, shot, victualling, and stores of every description for the B dtic fleet. The seamen belonging to the Waterwitch sloop, Com mander Alan H. Gardener, have received three mouths' pay, and had leave until yesterday, when they all, with the exception of one, returned, and have been draughted on board the African for a passage round to the Belleisle, 24, now in the I hawns, for conveyance to the Baltic. Tue Water witch's p ndaut will be struck to-day. A draught of able seamen, ordinary seamen, and second lass boys, has been sent on board the African steam-vessel or a passage to the Downs, to be put on board the Bedeisle, 24 guns, for service iu the Baltic, The Cuckoo, 3, paddle-wheel steam gunboat, Lieutenant Murray iu command, has had extra hands put on her to ex iedite the completion of her fitment, so that she may be sent off as early as possible to the Baltic. The Fearless, paddle steam-vessel, is ordered to be com pleted without delay, and when ready is to proceed on par acular service. The shipwrights and joiners have been sent on the Royal tlbert, screw steam-ship, to get her ready for being eons uissioned as early as possible. The Stromboli, Commander Robert Hall, arrived at Wool wich on Thursday afternc on. The Powerful, 84, Captain Manse, has shipped her masts mid commenced rigging, for which purpose a party of riggers .lave been sent to assist iu getting her f o rward. The Fox, 42, Captain Tarleton, C 8., has been dismantled, ready for paying oft at Portsmouth. The Scourge, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Commodore Adams, returned int Portsmouth harbour ou Thursday evening, having well tested her machinery iu a cruise outside, aid is now completing the shipment of her last sea stores t irior to leaving for the coast of Africa. Her Majesty's frigate Indefatigable, 50, being ordered for :ommissiou in place of the Portland, was warped alongside Le jetty at. Plymouth on Wednesday by the Avon steam- vessel. The frigate Phoebe, recently launched, was towed to her moorings in o; divary on Wednesday. The crew of the Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford, got the tops over her mastheads ou Wednesday. The marines belonging to the Portland were paid on Wed .le-clay at Plymouth, and had six weeks' leave of absence. Letters from the frigate Trincomalee, dated Callao, April 13, have been received at Plymouth. Her crew were all well. The President, 50, had broui t y.h provisions and stores for the Trincomalee to convey to lehring's Straits for the use of the Plover and Rattlesnake, engaged in the Arctic expedition. Twenty of the recently entered young lads who have served in bats and ben trained under Mr. Bean ou board the Fis gard flagship at Woolwich were conveyed in a steamer yes terday to the Downs, where they will embark in the Belleisle hospital-ship, for service in the ships of the Baltic fleet. 'umbers of strong, healthy lads, offer their services for the iiavy daily, and those who have previously served iu boats arc preferred. Yesterday evening the Escort, Government transport, 97, e Lord Raglan, 89, were towed down the river by the Amazon and Pride of all Nations tug-steamers. They arrived fr Woolwich dockyard about 6 o'clock. On Monday they mill commence the shipment of stores and ammunition for Gallipoli. From Southampton we learn that the General Screw • - ')tearn-slaippiug Company's steamer Hydaspes left Southamp ton yesterday for Portsmouth, to embark tee 42d Royal High landers for the East. A fatigue party of the 97th arrived Lt Southampton yesterday to ship the heavy baggage and stores of the regiment ou board the Royal Mail steamer Gri me°. The 97th leaves Windsor this morning, and will em '•ark from the Southampton docks by the Orinoco at 3 o'clock this day. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer Himalaya is now quite ready for sea, and will leave Southampton oa Monday for Cork, there to take en board cavalry for the East. The arrangements for the re m.p ion of horses on board this noble steam-ship are of the most complete description. The stalls (360 in number) are wilt up on the main and upper decks, and apparently will L umvide the e•Jst ample accommodation for the animals, and Lilo 7 the fullest spa e for attendance and ventilation during the voyage to Constantinople. The 2d and 7th companies of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment If Foot lauded last week at Gravesend, having come home rom India in the Hotspur, freight-ship. They immediately proceeded by the North Kent Railway to Strood, and thence to Bromptou Barracks, where they joined the head.quarters. the depot has also joined at Bromptou, and no time will be ost in reorganising the regiment. Captain Gilbert's troop of Royal Horse Artillery have bar ar- rived at Canterbury from hatham, and now occupy the •acks vacated by Captain Taylor's troop, on the return of the atter to head-quarters at Woolwich. An officer of the 97th Regiment arrived at Chatham on the lth inst. with authority to select 5 volunteers from the 33 lepots forming the Provisional Battalion He coul have .)btained 500 or 600 men as easily as 50, but no depot was al owed to send more than two men, exc pt in four cases, in mder that justice may l•e done when .all are so anxious to volunteer into regiments under orders for the East. The vo nuteers left Chatham on the following day to join the 97th legiment. Lieutenant-Colonel England, commanding the Royal Artil lery in the Medway district, has made his half-yearly inspec tion of the Royal Artillery, &c., at Chatham. Colonel Jones, Director of Engineers at Chatham, made his half-yearly inspection of the Royal Sappers and Miners at hat station on the 12th inst. The 3d Light Dragoons, who have for several months been stationed at Exeter, 1 ft that city on Thursday on their way o Manchester. As they pa-sed throw h the streets, they vere followed by crowds of the inhabitants, who cheered ,em lustily. They will proceed direct y to Manchester, vlience a portion, it is stated, will march to York. The bar racks are now empty, and will be occupied in a few days by he First Devon Militia, who will assemble at Exeter ou the 1 Ith inst for 28 days' training. The second squadron of the Ist Royal Dragoons left Man -hester yesterday morning for Liverpool, where they em ,arked for Turkey this morning on board the Arabia and lip Van Winkle transports, now lying iu the Mersey. Major .Vardlow commanded. The squadron consists of 127 men, with 16 officers chargers, and 113 troop horses. This squad ron was to have followed the first nearly a fortnight ago, nit the transports were not then ready. The 46th Regiment of Infantry is also under orders for the ast, but has not received the route for embarkation. , our companies of this regiment, under the command of "Major Fyfe, wh ch recently replaced the 7th Fusiliers at Man 'hester, received orders yesterday, and will proceed this day ~o W. edou barracks, whence the head-quarters proceed for , he present to Windsor. The place of the 45th at Manchester is to be supplied for the present by the local pensioners, two -ompanies of whom are already iu the Salford barracks on luty, where the remainder are also to a-scmble on Monday. It is understood that the pensioners will be relieved by a ••egiment. of militia. Orders have been issued for the enrolled pensioners of the metropolitan divisions, as also those belonging to Woolwich ted Greenwich, to muster for brigade drill on Saturday , the 17th inst., and Monday, the 29th i .st., in Hyde Park. Their review by the Commander-in-Chief, according to present arrangements, will take place on Tuesday, the 30th inst., in Hyde Park. The Chatham Local Association for the Relief of the Wives tnd Children of Soldiers ordered to the East have received L 99/. 9s. 70., exclusive of a collection made at Gallingham, nd have sent 1501. to the central fund. They have called on the inhabitants of the district to raise a like sum, to be for warded to the same fund. • NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant— Charles J.

THE ROYAL ALBERT. Shipwrights and joiners have been sent on this splendid ship to get her rea d y for being commissioned. The difference iu the draft of water forward and aft of this ship has not given the slightest uneasiness toner designers, as, the princi pal part of her stores and a pon of . her machinery taking great space in the fore body of . the ship, her armament fore and aft, will, there is not the slightest doubt, bring her down to her intended draft of water, It has been stated that all the endeavours to bring this ship down in the w , ter to an even keel, by hanging three large anchors at her extreme end forward, and putting from 30 to 40 tons of ballast into her, have been unsuccessful. profes sional men hero wou ld h av e been much surprised if it had succeeded. We should s ,on have had to report a complete failure in the construction of this noble 'specimen of naval architecture. Tho facts are, ou her arrival here both her bower anchors were hanging a cock bill under her hawse Pipes, in ooasocitionoo of her ca,t•heads not Ivigg fitted, and caused an obstruction or further damage to her rudder or sternpost. Parties deeply interested here are most anxious to relieve the mind of the public, and to assure them that there is no gross error made in the Construction of this ship, bearing so noble a name, as the morning paper alluded to has scut forth to the world at large. Every exertion will be made to get this ship ready for the pendant with all possible despatch, and when her complete armament and stores are put on board, she will then be found sitting majestically in her element at her intended draft, as designed by the late hig hl y - res pected practical architect, Mr. Oliver Lang, who has not only added beauty, but utility in stowage, to many noble ships now in her Majesty's navy, THE MILITIA ANI) XEOMANRY.

The Ist West York Regiment of Militia, which was dis banded at Pontefract on Tuesday la,t, is, we understand, to be called out again immediately, to undergo a further short training previous to being sent into larracks. The South Devon, or 25th Regimmt of Militia, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir .bhn Yarde Buller, M.P., will assemble on Wednesday, the 3bt inst., for permanent duty. The barracks at Mill -bay have been apportioned for the head-quarters of the regiment. The Warwickshire Yeomanry Cavary Regiment has been called out for eight days' duty, and will assemble at War wick ou Thursday, June 1. The trop under the command of Lord Will iughby do Broke have already met at Compton Verney, and that under the command of Captain Smith at Wellesbonrne, near Stratford-on - Avm . The North Lincolnshire Mi itia ar now assembled at Lin coln for 28 days' training. The regiaent is upwards of 700 str nig, being 300 more than assembtd last year.

When this committee reassembled yesterday, Merivale, of the Colonial-office, reappeared in the wit ness-box, and was re-examined by gr. Moore as to his cer tainty of having alluded in conversafio n, eitherwith the Duke of Newcastle or with Mr. Roberts to " that affair of Mr. • Townley." Witness said he bad a nost distinct recollection of using those words, but he col" not say to which. He rather thought it was to his GraCE but as be received no reply, he concluded that he had notbeen understood. At the same time he believed at the moment that he was alluding to a thing that was well known. He had no doubt now that the observation had escaped the duke's attention. Mr. Moore thou stated that Mr. Eyston, solicitor, of Gray's. inn, wished to be heard on behalf of Mr. Stonor, but the com mittee declined to entertain the application. ' The next witness was Sir Riehard Bethell, the Solicitor- General. The hon. and leaned gentleman was brought up from the House of Lords, where he was at the time pro fessionally engaged, and appeared in the witness-box in his full-bottomed wig and gown. He said that about the end of last year Mr. Stonor wrote him a letter, stating that he was a candidate for a vacant judgeship at Melbourne. Wit ness had previously had some professional intercourse with Mr. Stonor, and had formed a general opinion of his capa city. Witness was at first surprised that Mr. Stonor should be a candidate for the place in question, as his previous prat. tice had been more that of a chamber counsel than of one who could look for a judicial appointment. He therefore wrote Mr. Stoner a letter, desiring to have some further in formation in the matter. Mr. Stoner replied that, under the special circumstances of the colony, it was deemed ex . pedieut to appoint a gentlemen who was familiar wi at th con veyancing - and the law of real property. Upo th gave the estimonial which was before the committee. He bad, at the time, no knowledge at all of Mr. Stonor having • been reported against by a committee of the House of Coin- mons, The room was then cleared, and the members of committee afterwards separated. The inquiry is at an end ; the com mittee will only meet once more to consider their report. ELECTION FOR HERTFORDSHIRE, The nomination of the candidates to supply the vacancy oc casioned iu the representation of the county oft H he e late mem- rts by the me l an choly death, by drowning, of Mr. Halsey , ber, took place yesterday. There are t wo candidates in the field- Mr. Puller, who came forward at the last general elec tion upon Liberal principles, when he was defeated, and Mr. Abel Smith, juu., whose father represented the county for several years upon Conservative principles, toe c o u nt y the same tone of politics. The hustings were erected iu a field near to the railway st +ton, but, iu consequence of the candi dates having mutually agreed not to have any flags or music, the proceedings of the e ection had a very t a me appearance, and very different to those formerly presente d upon the occa sion of a contested county election. Indeed, but for a few of the Blue, or Conservative party, having, as it was stated, contrary to the request made to them, brought a few banners, a p.xsou would hardly have known that au election was going on. Toe writ and the other formal documents having been read, Captain TOWNSEND then proposed Mr. Puller, as a fit and proper person to represent the county in Pa•liameut. LIONEL Antos, Esq., seconde'l the nomination W. H. Bmina, Esq., proposed Mr. Abel Smith. S. H. HEATIICOTE, Esq., seconded the nomination. Each of the candidates having addresse d the electors, A show of hands was taken, which was declared to be in favour of Mr. Puller. A poll was demanded on behalf of ,Ir. Smith, which was fixed to commence ou Monday next at 8 o'clock, and finally close at 5. A motion of thanks to the High Sheriff, proposed . by Mr. Putaxa, and seconded by Mr. SIIITD, and carried unanimously, concluded the proceedings. RETURN OF T.RE ABOTIC. LwEnroot, May 19.—The United States' mail steamship Arctic, Luce, commander, took her de p arture from the Mer sey for New York, on Wednes day, at 1.31 p.m. The day was succeeded by a flue clear night, and all we nt right until she arrived off the Tuskar light. The captain, having seen the light, proceeded ou the usual course, and after getting, as was thought, a mile beyond Tuskar, and w hile at full speed, they again came suddenly upon the light, and at once struck upon the rock. The only way in which this can be ac counted for is that a current set the ship in towards the rock. She immediately careened over to the larboard side, and went into deep water. On getting off the rock she pro ceeded some distance ; but finding that she was making water Captain Luce thought it advisable to return. Before ' making the port she was met by the steam-tug Dreadnought, which took some of her passengers on board. She arrived off the port last night, but was unable to make the river, owing to low tide, until this morning. Her engines arc in perfect order. It is hoped that she will be got into the Huskissou Dock to-morrow, but she will be unable to get on the block until Tuesday, owing to low tid es, and if the d , tmage is no w orse than is anticipated she will get under way again by Friday. All the passengers who wished it have had their passage money returned, but those who prefer to remain un til she is again ready for sea can either stay on board or come ashore.

A letter from Hamburgh of the 6th inst, contains the following account of the military forces of Russia in her Baltic provinces :—" Beginning with the towns of Abo, Sweaborg, Helsingfors, Borga, and Vyborg, in Finland, I do not underrate their number by e,timating it at 52,000 men, ;.2,000 of whom can, in case of need, be speedily concentrated on any point of Finland. Ido not include in that number the new battalions, formed at St. Petersburgh,since the guard has left that capital, who, in a few days, can march to the very heart of the Grand Duchy of Finland. On the southern coast of the Baltic, where the commercial cities of Revel, Riga, Mittau, and Narva are situate, the effective force of the Russian army amounts to 45,000 men, of whom 25,000 may, in the course of eight or ten days, be assembled at one point. There is besides a corps of army of 30,000 men for the defence of Cronstadt, one-third of which may be detached, and marched to any part of the coast menaced by the allies." GUN BOATS AND LAND FORCES FOR THE BALTIC. There has been a remarkable clashing in the accounts respecting Revel, as to whether there are Russian ships of war there or not. We have it from good authority that there are some there ; that they recently attempted to show their noses outside ; but, at the sight of our British cruisers, drew them in again as hastily as a snail does its horns when your foot approaches it. It is clear that the Russian ships of war will not meet ours on the deep water. The Czar has made up his mind to leave the open sea to the French and English, trusting that they will not venture in-shore to ferret out his men-of war in their burrows, or attempt a landing. It nc"v seems probable that nothing very effectual can be done in the Baltic till the allied squadrons a re supplied with the means of reaching the enemy in his skulking-holes.l Gun-boats and an auxiliiary land army seem to he wanted. The former are about to be forwarded. This is well—only let them be in sufficient nu W m bers. ith these, and with a land army, say 30,000 French un and 10,000 English soldiers, St: Petersburg would be tenable. St. Petersburg is not only the seat of govern ment—of all the central executive departments —it is the centre towards which converge the St. Petersburg and Moscow Railway, the great highways to Pskow, Smo lensk, and Warsaw to the south-west, and to Archangel to the north ; and the three systems of water communi cation by which the most valuable part of the exports of Russia are brought to the sea-board from the Volga provinces, the Ural, an d Siberia. The occupation of St. Petersburg by the allies would at once humiliate and paralyse the Czar. THE NAVAL CLUB•--The members of the naval club of 1765, celebrate the Queen's birthday by a grand ban quet this e vening at the Thatched-house Tavern. The immortal Nelson was a patron of this time-honoured in stitution, which annually distributes a, large sum pri vately amongst. the widows and orphans of deceased members of the naval profession. .Mr. JoilN Noon (the chairman of the Consolidated Committee) took the Opportunity afforded by the infor mation given from the chair to state that be had a re port connected with the inquiry to which the Govern ment document related, and he thought the introduction of that report, preparatory to the consideration of the latter, would be acceptable to the court. He then pre sented the following report : " We whose names are hereunto subscribed of your Con solidated Committee, to whom on the 30th of Juno last it was referred to assist the inquiry before the 'Royal Com• missioners on behalf of the corporation of London, and afford the fullest information on every subject connected therewith, do certify that in accordance with the reference and the several resolutions of this honourable court, in re spect of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Corpo ration of London, we afforded every assistance in our power to aid the commissioners, and proffered the evidence of the officers and certain members of this honourable court, i whose examinations and remarks will be found in the ap pendix to the report of the commissioners hereunto an nexed. We also had prepared and laid before the commis sioners a statement in reply generally to the observations of witnesses who gave evidence adverse to the corporation, which will be found also in the appendix. The report of the commissioners having been laid upon the tables of both houses of Parliament by the Secretary of State, we have applied for and obtained a copy of ,the same, which we lose no time in laying before this honourable court. We beg to recommend that the report should be referred to us as a committee for consideration, that we may be authorised to submit our suggestions to this honourable court as to the course to be pursued by the corporation in this very important matter. All which we submit to the judgment of this honourable court." The report was signed by Messrs. J. Wood, Burrows, Gresham, T. H. Hall, Salomons, Hicks, Peacock, W. Hinton, Perkins, Blades, Dakin, Pewtress, Lis ter, Bower, Butler, and Bailey. Mr. J. WOOD said the committee had expressed a very decided opinion that a matter of such importance to the citizens of London would undergo more deliberate con sideration in the committee which had already had an intimate acquaintance with the proceedings in reference to the inquiry, tha❑ any other body deputed by the court. (Hear.) They had abstained from making any comment, but it would not be incompatible with his duties as chairman to observe that all the information which could be given had been furnished to the commis sioners, and that the corporation had proved itself to be perfectly free from the vices with which it had been so frequently charged. (Hear, hear.) He then moved that the court agree with the report, and that the report of the Commissioners of Inquiry be referred to the Con solidated Committee. Deputy LOTT seconded the motion, and suggested the propriety of having a full attendance of the members upon every occasio❑ on which they assembled upon a matter so vitally important. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WlLLiems moved as an amendment that the question should be referred to a committee of the whole court, who could undertake to examine into everything connected with the interests of the corporation. He could not see the propriety of delegating such a power to a committee consisting of a very limited number of members. In the multitude of councillors wisdom was to be found. (Hear.) Mr. Cox seconded the amendment. Deputy STEVENS was for the original proposition, and ridiculed the Lotion of having any improvement accom plished by a committee of the whole court. The whole court had been annually taking the business of reform into their hands, and if they repeated the experiment under existing circumstances they would most assuredly be laughed at. (Hear, hear.) It was his firm opinion that Parliament would do for them all which they could not do for themselves. Amongst themselves nothing but disagreements and contradictions would abound. The amendment was then negatived, only two hands having been held up for it ; and the original motion, submitted by the Chairman of the Consolidated Com mittee, was agreed to. THE NORTH METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. Mr. T. H. HALL presented the report of the Improve* ment Committee upon the North Metropolitan Railway Bill. The following aro extracts :—" That since our re port of the 14th of February last, agreed to by the court, a petition against the bill has been presented to the House of Commons. That the bill has been added to one of the groups for railway and canal bills, which will probably commence its sittings in the course of next week. That the bill is to empower the North Metropolitan Railway Company to construct a railway from Battle-bridge through certain parishes, and passing under the New Victoria-street, to terminate at or near the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, in the City of London, with power to purchase and hold lands in the City of London adjacent or near to the intended railway, for stations, warehouses, and other buildings ; to purchase the burial grounds of St. Sepul chre and St. Botolph, Aldersgate, and St. Ann and St. Agnes, in the city of London, and to appropriate and use the sites thereof, and the burial grounds attached thereto, with power to contract with the justices of the peace for the county of Middlesex for the purchase of the House of Correction in Cold Bath-fields, and with your court fur the property at or near the New Victoria street, with power to cross, alter, and divert streets, roads, or any of them, and to use and appropriate any of them so stopped up. That the promoters of the bill have informed your committee that the railway within the city of London is to be made in cuttings, arched over. That the architect has not yet received from the promoters of the bill sufficient information to enable him to report upon the plan ; but as the bill may shortly go into committee, your committee recommend that clauses to the following effect should be inserted in the bill, to protect the interest of the corporation. That the railway be made within the City of London, and through the property belonging to the corporation in the parish of Clerkenwell, in arcade, so that the use of the surface of the ground throughout l'e not impeded. That the line of the railway be altered in conformity with the plan proposed. That no property belonging to the corporation of Lon don be taken without their consent, which may not be required for the formation of the railway. That none of the streets, ways, &c., or the site of Smithfield Market, be taken fer the purposes of the railway company. That compensation be made to the corporation of Lon don for the injury which their property will sustain. The power to alter arid stop up streets, &c., to be de fined by stating - the streets to be so stopped. That a time be stipulated fur the perf,rinance of the works, and nuisances during their progress be prevented. That the earth from the excavations be promptly re moved, so that there shall never be more than 100 cubic yards lying in any one place in the roads, streets, or works, all of which shall be removed in 24 hours after receiving notice from the City authorities. That the whole line of arcade shown on the sheet No. 3 of the deposited plans be completed within six months from the commencement of the formation of the line. That the diversion of Peter-street, shown on sheet No. 3, before referred to, be not made. The report was unanimously agreed to. ABOLITION OF OATHS. Mr. BLADES brought up a report with the draft of a petition to Parliament to abolish or alter the oaths of allegiance, supremacy , and abjuration. Agreed to, and the petition ordered to be presented accorlingly. THE PRESIDENT OF CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. Deputy BOWER submitted the following 'notion to the court :—" That the court having on the 20th inst. re solved that the office of President of Christ's Hospital having for a great many years been uniformly ourt i filleds bof a member of the C ourt of Aldermen, this cthlt opinion that no reason exists for de eparturef any other per precedent, and that the appointment o s on, however exalt ed, to thato honourable office would be an infringement. of the arciehnt.pndveileengdesenocfet'hanisdcoinr porat:on, and preiudicial to t e p terests of the citizens of L)ndon. Having also been informed by the Right Ho . a. the Lord Mayor that he had, at the late election for ,he said . office of President 's Hospital, protested against any other man of Christ than a member of the Court of Aldermen being put in nomination, that thi s q uestion be referred to a committee of ths court, to examine and report what measures, if any, should be taken b y this court." The previous question was moved as an amendment, and a lot g discussion took place, which ended in the adoption of the original motion by a large majority. Petitions from several charitable institutions for grants of money were referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, after which the court adjourned. EXPENSES OF TRANSPORTATION.—The vote to be asked for this year is 92,7651., which is considerably more than that of last year, but less than the year pre ceding. Provision is made for the expenses of removal of 1,900 convicts. GROSS OUTRAGE, AND MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A TAVERN-KEEPER'S WIFE.—A. melancholy sensation has been produced at Southwark, Trowbridge, by the death, 1 under circumstances of a painful nature, of Mrs. Deacon, the wife of Mr. John Deacon, a respectable resident of that place. It appears that some fellows were drinking in the taproom of Mr. Deacon's house, and after a time they called for a fresh supply of liquor. Mrs. Deacon perceiving that they were becoming somewhat riotous, and being anxious to preserve good order in her hous e, e, sent word that she could not draw them any mor They said that they were determined that they would. have more, but the landlady, with commendable fellows became refused to draw for them. Upon this the became exceedingly angry, and abused Mrs.la_Deacon,w.o using very coarse language. The unfortunate me d n y, : as was within a very short time of her confired a t n , d in observed to be terrified and a good deal .it t her peculiar state of health, the such an awful effect upon her that she excitement produced e" died very shortly after the altercation. furlongs. 7 subs.

The sailors on board the Colombo, with but two exceptions, partook in the strike, and one of them, a man named Glasspool, who signed articles for another voyage at the old rate of wages, seems to have been singled out by his la te shi p mates, who have endea voured to inliinidate him into taking part with them, but, finding all their efforts of no avail, a party, amongst whom two men named Pugh and Gale appeared to be ringleaders, waylaid him in the neighbourhood of the docks on Wednesday afternoon, threatening to injure Lim so that he should not proceed in the vessel, and pro ceeded to attack him in a most brutal manner, knocking him down, kicking and jumping upon him so severely that he was completely covered with blood. The poor man, however, managed to effect his escape, and upon giving information to Captain Ingledew, the company's superin tendent, of the manner in which lie had been treated, that gentleman immediately ordered the two men, Gale and Pugh, to be taken into custody, and they were on Thurs day brought before the borough magistrates, and cora mitted for trial at the quarter sessions in July next, on a charge of conspiring, together with others, to intimi date and prevent Glasspool from following his employ. ment. Several other warrants were issued, and Mr. Pocock, the solicitor who conducted the case, expressed the determination of the company to take every means to prevent a repetition_ of those painful scenes which oc curred at the strike a few months since. GREAT FIRE AT POPLAR.—EXTENSIVE Loss or Pao- PERTY.—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, a fire of a most alarming and destructive character, broke out in the extensive range of premises belonging to the London Manure Company, situated at No. 40, New Bridge-street, Plough-wharf, Cubit's Town, Isle of Dogs, Poplar. The discovery was made by a po lice-officer of the K division, who, in passing the wharf, perceived a dense mass of smoke hovering over the machine-room, a building nearly 150 feet long, in which were a costly stock of machinery, n? Sae hundred carboys of sulphuric acid, and othe r che m ica ls used in the business. The o ffi cer at once gave A° al arm, and succeeded, after some difficulty, in ar ousing the foreman of the works, who slept in an The progress of the fire, however, rapid, so that in the course of a few commencedran the premises in which the disaster flames from end to end, and unusually became tes t part of adjoining house. was in the fearful element d everything near rpieischteedd that through the foreman'stho .house h " a a n o d roof, it was ex • would have been levelled with t o o f f t t h h e e parish, lvest o Egg under a n o d f office, rour.d.

The firemen, however, kept to their posts, and'after three hours' un remitting exertion, they at length succeeded in getting the mastery o ver the destro ying element, but not until property, valued at several thousand pounds, was totally consumed. The origin of the fire is enveloped in obscurity. It seems that when the works were closed the over-night everything appeared perfectly safe as usual. Fortunately the company was insured in the Royal Farmers' Fire-o ffi ce. The police rendered_essen• fiat aid to the ftromon by .keeping &great 4:1 - 914.90 of danger. UNI VERSITY INT ELLIGENCE.
