From our own knowledge of patent medicine., we may safely assert that the consumption of them has increased tenfold lu this coun ry since Mr. Mori on promulgated his system. Pills, under new names, are starting day after day Can there be a stronger proof of the truth of the Morisonian system that this fact, and like wise that the vendors, in order to popularise their pills, describe them as being of a purgative quality, and emuody in their advertisements (with which the public press is now teeming) scraps from the " Mo • risoniana I" A question then arises for the serious consideration of the public, whether the vendors strictly adhere to the Morleonian system in its integrity, and whether they are in possession of a me dicine which will effectually answer the main purpose, that of cleans ing the blood ?—BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, New-road, London.

QUEEN'S SPEECH. **o It was imagined by some of my subjects that it would be difficult to make up a speech at the opening of Parliament —foreign relations being in a rather sal condition, and some people having made free with our home institutions ; b a t notwithstanding all these circumstances it becomes me to congratulate you on the •ast amount of prosperity which is felt in all commercial circles—a preof of which are the transactions of E. MOSES and SON ; they have been mare industrious than ever in fuinishing all my subjects with the Best and Cheapest fires', which has not only improved the condition and comfort of .my peon le, but is the most co ent reason for the peace and satisfaction which prevalis throughout these great kingdoms. What are the intentions of the Emperor of the North it is difficult to determine, but the North itself is not capable of resisting the strong and fashionable Overcoats, Paletots, and Attire for all classes mode by E. MOSES and Sow , for it is the best and cheapest ever offered. It is a source of regret that many of the necessaries of life are charged most enormous prices, but our loyol subjects, E. Moms and Sow, have so reduced the Price of C otting, Hosiery, Hats, Boots, and Shoes, Sac., that the inconvenience of high-priced food is little felt by the great majority of my subjects will patronise their sta. blishments and its Branches, New Oxford street, corner of Hart street, Fargate Sheffield, and Bradford.

I trust you will conth,as to imitate their business-like example, as you recollect so well their name, places of business, and plans of trade. CAUTION.—E.

Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis ages known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist- Once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Neryous Debility, va rious forms of Insanity , Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, I m potency, Lodal 'and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or func tion al derangement to Which the timely aid of sc ience cannot apply e DOCTOR LA'MERT hiss for a long series of years been engaged in ~an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legdlly qualified Physician who, arclless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these ermous evils, from which no grad of society is free. In seeding this no department of practice, he ha s been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these ca ses, which are too generally confided to the stare of unqualified and ignorant enmities, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrUms, have inflicted f.etious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The following are the terms of the ukase issued by the Emperor of Russia for an increase of paper money. It appears that out of an augmentation to the extent of 30,000,000 of roubles, or about 4,800,0001., authorised in 1841, the sum of 1,600,0001. remains to be put forth, and that this is now to be used, while an additional total of 40,000,000 of roubles, or 6,400,0001., is to be created and held at the service of the Finance'Minister upon his receiving the Imperial sanction for its disbursement. Against this new issue, as in the case of the former one, specie in the proportion of one-sixth is to be deposited ; but, as the quarter whence it is to be obtained is not designated, the conjecture arises that the operation will be contrived merely by a nominal removal to a special account of some portion of the treasure already held. Even under the more favourable suppoiiition that a por tion of the new issue will be employed to purchase the guaranteed amount of bullion, so as to create to that extent a real instead of a fictitious security, it is evident that the measure is pregnant with the most disastrous consequences to the trade and credit of the country, and that a course is now commenced calculated to end in all the evils of a depreciated, c urrency, and to cause th e St. Petersburg Exchange to undergo, from the consequences of distrust, what has been so long experienced at Vienna. Since 1839, when,Russia compromised as an insolvent, and paid the holders of her notes less than 30 per cent., her currency, although not absolutely convertible at pleasure, has been maintained at._par, owing to its being limited to a specific amount. The propor tion of notes to - the legitimate requirements of trade having at length, however, been infringed the notification that one-sixth of their amount in specie is safely locked in the hands of the Government will have little effect in convincing the holders of their value when they require not only that that sixth, but also the re maining five-sixths, should be handed them in coin to enable them to pay for foreign goods. The precedent. moreover, even if it had been introduced at first on a far more limited scale, is fatal to the financial existence of any nation, from the certainty it inspires that, once re sorted to, the dangerous facility is almost sure to be employed till confidence of every kind has been 'anni hilated. ." By a ukase of his Imperial Majesty, issued to the Ad ministrative Senate on the 17th of December last, under his Imperial Majesty's sign -manual, it was set forth, — "'To facilitate the operations of the imperial credit establishments, our manifest of the lst of July, 1841, di rected the issue of 30,000,000 roubles of credit notes, with the condition that at each delivery of the same the Trea suries and the Loan Bank should deposit in specie a sum equivalent to not less than the sixth part of the notes issued. " Of the said amount of 30,000,000 roubles, by our manifest of the Ist of - June, 1813, 10,000,000 roubles were placed to the credit of the active capital of the credit establishments, and 20,000,000 roubles were reckoned as a reserve, and their issue submitted thenceforth to our own supervision. ' In pursuance of authority, of our ukase to the Senate, given on the 9th of March, 18 4 9, there were issued out of this reserve capital credit notes for 10,000,000 roubles for the purpose of strengthening the operations of the Trea suries and the Loan Bank. " At present, in consequence of the great extension during the past year of the operations of the imperial credit establishments, we have deemed it good, in accor dance with the representation of the Minister of Finance, examined by the Council of State, to decide upon the issue from the reserve capital of the remaining ten millions of roubles ' • and, in order to provide in future suf f icient means to the said credit establishment for ,the uninter rupted conduct and extension of their operations, to con stitute for them a new reserve capital on the previous bases. " In pursuance whereof we ordain : " 1. The remaining ten millions of credit notes attri buted by our manifest of June 1,1843, to the reserve capi tal of the credit establishments shall be delivered to the Treasuries and the Loan Bank, to be distributed among them according to their requirements. " '2. A new reserve capital of 40,000,030 roubles of cre dit notes shall be formed for the imperial credit establish ments. _ _ . — ;Ti. The delivery of notes from this reserve capital shall take place in the event of an actual necessity to strengthen the imperial credit establishments, upon the presentation each time of a petition of the Minister of Fi nance for our decision thereupon. " 4. Equivalent to the sixth part of the credit notes issued shall be transferred in specie from the credit esta blishments named to the office of imperial credit notes, to be added to the fund attributed to the credit notes. " 5. The completion of this fund, in case of need, shall be carried out on the same basis as fixed by our said mani fest of June 1, 1843.

PASSENGERS' BAGGAGE.—IMPORTANT NEW REGULA TIONS.—The Customs authorities have determined on sanctioning the receipt of diities at the different baggage warehouses at the docks for dutiable articles contained in the baggage and effects of passengers arriving from foreign and distant parts of the world.

Cl2'Y OF LONDON COMMISSION. The Royal Commission sat again yesterday, at 32, Abingdomstreet, for the purpose of resuming their in quiry. Commissioners present :—The Right Hon. H. Labouchere . (chairman), Sir John Patteson, and Mr. Cornwall Lewis. At the opening of the proceedings, Mr. Bennoch was re-examined with respect to the Gresham Committee. He said he appeared as the chair -man of a committee established for the purpose of found ing a mercantile and maritime college in the metropolis. Many. of tbe leading merchants and bankers of London held a meeting for the promotion of that important object, the want of such an institution being severely felt ; and they put themselves in communication with the Gresham College, or rather with its professors, to ascertain if they would co-operate in such an under taking ; and ultimately a statement was drawn up by the committee explaining their objects. A copy of that* statement he now begged leave to put in evidence. It contained an account of the original foundation and objects of the Gresham College ; and although there might be a few inaccuracies in it, the commission might rely upon it as being substantially correct in its facts : , . • "1. That in the year 1575, Sir Thomas Gresham, merchant of London, by his last will and testament, be queathed his own dwelling-house, after the decease of Lady Gresham, to the corporation of the city of Loudon and the Mercers' Company, in trust for the purpose of founding a college. "2. That seven professors were to be appointed to read, daily, within the college, lectures on divinity, as tronomy, music, geometry, law, physic, and rhetoric. The same professors to inhabit and study in the college, being allowed a salary of 501. per annum each, provided they did not marry. "3.. Thal to.entlow sirelmsrofesaor ships, theßoyairwr_ change (built by Sir Thomas Gresham on the grouted purchased by the citizens of London for more than 4,0001.), its shops, cellars, &c., 'were also bequeathed to the same corporation and to the Mercers' Company. This will was confirmed by an Act of Parliament (23d Elizabeth, in 1581. "4. That in conformity with such dispositions, on tbe decease of Lady Gresham in 1596, the joint trustees took possession of the house bequeathed, appointed pro fessors, and fixed the times for the reading of the lectures, and, in 1641, they took a patent from the Crown to possess for ever the Royal Fxchange and Gresham's house, already converted into a college. " 5. That for a time the college acquired great cele brity, and counted among its professors Sir Christopher Wren, Barrow, Hooke, Sir William Petty, and other men of science. It was within its walls that the Royal Society had its origin, and that Charles 11. signed its charter, in 1663 ; and apartments were assigned for their books, instruments, and rarities. " 6. That during the Plague and Great Fire, in 1665- 1666, Gresham College was . used ac a place of meeting for merchants, and therefore the delivery of the lectures was for a time suspended, and the Royal Society re moved to Arundel House, whence, however, they re turned to Gresham College in 1673, and there remained till 1710, when they purchased the house of Dr. Brown, in Crane-court, Fleet-street, whither they removed with their museum. "7. That the Royal Exchange having been burnt down in the fire of London, the Gresham committee were called upon to rebuild in 1667, and subsequently, on the plea of the expense which they had thereby in curred, the trustees of Gresham College, as early as 1669, stopped the salaries of the professors for •two years, and - refused to keep up the building. "8. That in 1701 the Gresham committee petitioned Parliament for power to pull down the old mansion, and to erect smaller buildings for the use of the professors ; but Parliament refused-to entertain their petition, and thereafter for some time the lectures became of little practical value. "9. That great complaints having been made of the management of the college, an inquiry was instituted before the Lord Mayor, Gresham committee, And pro fessors ; whereupon the lectures were resumed, and greater attention paid to the oonduct of its affairs. "10. That in 1717, the trustees again petitioned Par liament for authority to pull down the college, proposing to erect on the same site another building, ca pable of accommodating the profesors and their audience ; but their request was once more rejected. " 11. That in 1760, they again petitioned Parlia to the same effect, in this instance to build a conve nient room for the lectures, and to build in addition thereto houses for merchants and others ; but they again met with a similar refusal. " 12. That in 1767, Government requiring a new Excise-office, the trustees sold Gresham College, and the ground attached to it, for no other consideration than an annual ground rent of 5001., the corporation of the City agreeing to pay 1,8001. in one month towards pull ing down the college. An act of Parliament (8 Geo. 111., c. 32) was passed to confirm the transfer. That act provided that, by reason of the professors being deprived of their lodging=, their salaries should be raised from 501. to 1001. per annum ; that the trustees should provide a place for the delivery of the lectures, and that it should be lawful for the professors to marry, notwith stat.ding any restrictions in the will of Sir Thomas Gresham -to the contrary. " 13. That for a considerable time afterwards, an apartment of the Exchange was used for the delivery of the Gresham lectures, during which they became com paratively unknown, and consequently neglected. • 14. That in 1838, the'Reyal Exchange being again burnt down, the delivery of the lectures was transferred to . the City of London School; until the present building was erected in Gresham-street, where the lectures are now delivered during the law terms. The Royal Exchange was again built by the Gresham committee and opened in 1841. " 15. That in 1852, the building erected for the pur pose,of an Excise-office, together with the ground at tached to it, were sold by Government for 108,0001. It is understood, however, that the Crown still pays the 5001. per annum to the trustees of Sir Thos. Gresham. " 16. That the lectures now delivered at Gresham College consist of lectures on astronomy, physic, divi nity, law, rhetoric, geometry, in Latin at twelve o'clock at noon, and in English at one o'clock in the afternoon; and on music and geometry, in English, at seven o'clock in the evening ; delivered during term time. "17 That The delivery of such lectures in Latin is compa ratively useless at the present day, although at the date of the foundation of the college it was useful, as Latin was often the medium of communication with foreign merchants. Moreover, the lectures being delivered during term time only, the merchants have long ceased to attend them, and the professors are often unable to secure an audience. " 18. That owing to the progress of commerce, the great competition existing with all countries, and the advanced state of science, the educational wsnts of the mercantile and maritime classes are at present far greater 4han•those felt in the 16th and 17th centuries, and that the city of London has long suffered considerablel injury in having been deprived of the advantages intended to be conferred by the illustrious founder of Gresham College. " 19. That the pecuniary trust is generally unknown ;. its revenues are supposed to consist of the rental arising from the Royal Exchange, with its offices, and the an nual ground rent of 5001. arising from the original site of the college. Its expenditure would seem to include the cost of rebuilding twice the Royal Exchange, less the sums for which they were insured ; the building of the present Gresham College in Gresham-street, the salary of the professors and other officers, exclusive of any rent charge in respect of the almshouses founded by Sir Thomas Gresham. " 26. That considering the vast importance of the trust, and its great practical value, it is impor tant to ascertain with what amount of debt the pro perty is at present charged ; the interest paid upon such' debt„; the amount annually paid in liquidation of the same ; and the annual rental ; so as to indicate at what future time the whole property will be wholly ap plicable to the purposes of the trust." To the foregoing statement the committee appended the subjoined outline of a constitution for the proposed Mer cantile and Maritime College : "That, having regard to the foregoing statement, it is suggested thet the income arising from the Gresham trust, as well as the property itself, should, together with a sufficient amount to be subscribed by the mer chants and bankers of the city of London, be devoted to the establishment of a Mercantile and Maritime College, the management of which should devolve on a commit tee, composed of the Gresham committee and persons elected by the donors and subscribers to the college funds. "That the proposed institution should, amongst other advantages, afford courses of lectures on the different branches of science more especially directed to meet:the requirements of the mercantile and maritime classes ; and also, that there should be attached to the college a trade museum, constantly replenished and supplied with every commercial information, besides a collection of statistics of commerce, parliamentary papers and returns, a complete commercial library, models, charts, &c., and to be provided with an active machinery, to promote objects of national and international importance. ." That certificates should be granted of attendance at the lectures, which might serve as recommendations to appointments to trust. "That it is intended that such college shall -be self supporting, the fees to be sufficiently moderate to attract students of every grade. "The object contemplated is entirely practical. It is desired to adapt the original plan of Sir Thomas Gresham to the extended requirements of the present time ; and whilst the college will furnish complete instruction upon the theory and practice of commerce and navigation, it will also form a centre of union for the promotion of the mercantile and maritime interests of the country." There was not a place in all London, at present, where boys could be thoroughly educated for pursuits in con nection with commerce and marine, and afterwards examined as to their proficiency. The only complaint that had been made against the management of the Gresham trust was that, although a staff of seven pro fessors was maintained at the college, and a sum of 1,3001.. or 1,400/..was yearly derived by the institution, ostensibly to be a ppropriated to educational purposes, yet the lectures were only delivered to audiences which never exceeded, on an average, more than twenty per sons, and even that number attended not for educa- tional objects, but merely to while away an hour which hung heavily on their hands. Thus the re venues of the college were wasted, or at least were not,.' in ' point of fact, applied to any useful public purpose whatever. He might mention that a college 'of the kind contemplated by the merchants of Lon don had been established at Liverpool by Mr. Leoni Levy, and had been attended with great success ; and it was also a strange coincidence that at this very moment Austria, Sweden, and Belgium were setting on foot educational institutions of the same character, The ob ject of the London merchants in this movement is in no way to alienate the funds bequeathed by Sir T. Gresham from their legitimate use, but rather to restore them to such a purpose as the testator himself originally contem plated, and to render that which was now a useless form and a dead letter, a living and vital reality, beneficial in its working to the mercantile community of the present day.' A lengthened correspondence ensued between the committee of merchants and the trustees of Gresham College, the result of which, however, unfortunately was, that the trustees declined to co-operate with the committee in the promotion of the projected mercantile college, on the ground thAt the funds of the trust were strictly applicable to a specific purpose, and could not legally be alienated to any other object. The establish ment of a mercantile college was a subject which had taken a deep hold on the minds of the merchants of London ; and as they were unable to obtain the assist ance of the trustees of the Gresham trust in attaining that very desirable end, he (Mr. Bennoch) hoped that the commissioners would not refuse to direct their atten tion to the question. The Chairman stated that the commission bad no power to deal with the general question of the alleged deficiency in the facilities for promoting mercantile edu cation in the city of London ; all they had to consider in re:ation to this matter was the state of the Gresham trust as far , iait was c-Q.nnectekl 'with the corporation of London ; and of course any improvements which could be suggested as bearing upon that point were proper subjects for investigation before the commission. Mr. Bennoch thanked the commissioners, and then withdrew. Dr. Waddilove examined,—Practised at Doctor's Com mons, and in the Court of Admiralty, and while there he had frequently witnessed the injury that had arisen to the mercantile community through the ignorance of captains and mates of commercial law. In connection with this subject, he had turned his attention to the state of Gresham College. When the college was first established, the trustees applied to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, in order that these learned bodies might choose the professors, and each of the universities accordingly' appointed three professors, Queen Elizabeth herself appointing a seventh professor. The witness having entered into further historical evidence on the subject of the Gresham College, suggested that it should be put to the trustees of the institution, whether the new Charitable Trusts Act did not contain provisions which would enable them to overcome the impediments in the way of their applying a portion of the funds of the trust to the promotion of mercantile education. Mr. Lucy, master of the Watermen's and Lighter men's Company, and a freeman of the city of London, was next examined, and put in a long written statement, explaining the privileges of the company of watermen and lightermen, and defending those privileges on the ground of the interests of the public, and of the necessity for the safety of the traffic on the river, that there should be a trained and efficient body of men competent to dis charge the duty of navigating the numerous craft ply ing on the Thames. He denied the imputation which had been cast upon the body that they were concerned in the alleged corruption which takes place at the City elections. He said the number of working freemen of his company was about 5,000, but there were nearly 7,000 altogether, including owners of barges, &c., enrolled on the books of the company. The members of the Waterrnen's Company were not voters at the Com mon Hall elections, and they were totally unconnected with the longshoremen who had been complained of. Mr. Deputy Harrison examined :—He was the deputy of Cornhill ward, and had been connected with the cor poration for the last sixteen years. He was chairman of the Freedom Committee, and a member of the Sewers Commission, a member of the Consolidated Committee, and also a member of the Improvement s Committee. He c w o a m s m a e t n r a t e d d e r u i p n o n the tt C e i e t y v d a e n n d c e a a s d t a d t u i d e r b . y M Wit r . n T e r s a s v t h e r e s n , Mr. Bennoch, and other gentlemen, as to the character of the corporation of the present day, denying generally that they were confined to the class of retail traders. He also controverted the assertion that the corporation required to be goaded on by public opinion in order to effect improvements ; and pointed to the fact that the City Commission of Seaters had, on their own motion, obtained very large powers from Parliament, several years ago, for establishing a complete system of sanitary regulations. He stated that the drainage works which bad been carried out under those powers were sufficient to provide proper drainage for every house in the City. The sewers rate in the City, in the Present year, would not exceed ld. in the pound. The consolidated rate yielded 71,8881. a year, and the sewers rate 13,7581. The cost of collection, together with the expense of the City's sanitary staff, did not amount to more than seven per cent. of the whole sum raised, a fact which he thought contrasted favourably with other districts. The commission had expended on works, dur ing the year, 78,1291. ; and altogether the entire sani tary arrangements of the City were in an admirable state—in fact, in a state rapidly approaching to absolute perfection. The City sanitary staff was very efficient, and no inconvenience whatever arose to the metropolis generally from the separate sewers jurisdiction existing within the City. Referring to the bribery practised at the City elections, witness stated that he had had con siderable experience of the Common Hall elections, and he knew that transactions occurred on these occasions in which the names of voters were given by hundreds to candidates on condition of receiving a certain sum of money. He had also known instances in which a sum of money was paid to secure an attendance at Common Hall, and he had himself been obliged to pay Si. for every hundred men who passed into Guildhall through a certain wicket, by which freemen alone ought to have been admitted. This was a flagrant and crying evil, and the corporation had on two different occasions endeavoured to remedy this abuse, but the livery compa nies were too strong for them, and had succeeded in throw ing out their hills in Parliament, which were introduced to check it. He also denied the charge that incompetent persons were appointed as the chairmen of committees, and asserted that the practice was to select the most efficient business men for their officers. He had been a member of the navigation committee for four years, and he considered the- manner in which they discharged their duty as most satisfactory. At the same time he did not pretend to say that the system of the corporotion could not be improved in any respect. Mr. T. H. Hall, chairman of the Improvements Com mittee, examined—He said he attended there that day as a member of a body which had been much maligned in the course of this inquiry. He had been chairman of the Improvements Committee for sit years. The course which the committee pursued in promoting improve. ments was to examine somewhat in the capacity of a special jury all the claims put b e f ore th e m for the pur chase of houses required to be removed, leaving the value of freehold or leasehold property to be estimated and reported upon by Mr. Bunning, the City architect, in order that they might satisfactorily determine the pro per amount of compensation to be awarded. The commit tee was generally composed of from 18 to 20 gentlemen who had had previ ous experience on special juries ; and they thoroughly sifted all the numerous cases which came before them, taking care that justice was done to private rights as well as to the funds of the corporation. An idea of the extent of business done by this committee might be ob tained from the fact that during the last six years they had examined into claims for compensation amounting to an aggregate of 1,200,000/., and had invariably settled them by paying the parties much smaller sums than they origi nally demanded. Street improvements were executed under the directions of the Improvements Committee, acting with the advice of their officers. When the com mittee reported that an improvement was desirable, the Court of Common Council generally approved of it, and applied to Parliament accordingly for powers to carry it into effect. He wished to rebut the accusation that the corporation did nothing to improve th e me t ro p o lis ; and would put in a map showing the various improvements which they had already carried out. The corporation, be said, were anxious to go as far in this direction as their funds would allow, and the difficulty often was to tell, where so much was necessary, in what quarter to begin first. The corporation had now under considera tion the opening of a new thoroughfare from the new Cannon-street to Earl-street, Blackfriars, in order to re lieve Ludgate-hill and Cheapside, and this plan, it was estimated, would cost 195,000 1 . for its execution. The corporation had also charged the City estate with a sum of 11,500/. per annum for a period of three years, for the improvement of Clerkenwell ; and all this although they did not receive any revenue whatever on account of im provements. The Chairman—Yes, but were not the corporation all this time receiving the 4d. duty on coals, which is levied from the consumers throughout the whole metropolis, as well as from the consumers within the City ? Mr. Hall—The corporation had carried out the new Cannon-street improvement from the produce of the 4d. coal tax which they hold by prescriptive right ; and this improvement would not cost them less than 500,0001. when it was completed. The corporation were now widening Upper Thames-street, and part of Newgate street ; and petitions had been i presented to them, call ing for similar improvements n Lime-street, in Fen church-street, Tower-street, &c. In fact, there were at that moment plans before the corporation for street im provements, which would require an outlay of more than two millions of money to carry them out. The witness then corroborated the testimony of Mr. Deputy Harrison, with regard to the appointment of the chair men of committees, contending that they were generally cfiosen from the most competent and able members. He indignantly repudiated the insinuation that a regular attendance at the committee dinners was the only or the chief qualification demanded of a chairman. He had hinaself proposed the reduction of a committee's allow ance from 5001. to 2001., and succeeded in his object ; and yet that circumstance, so far from being regarded as personally unfavourable to him by the members in ques tion, had been followed by his own election to the office of chairman. The committee allowances were not a matter of very great importance—he would not say that they were necessary in order to secure a good at tendance at the committee meeting, but he thought that after gentlemen bad been laboriously engaged for four or five hours in the middle of the day in the service of the public, they were entitled to receive a certain amount for simple refreshment, which was all that the committees actually did receive. The commissioners then adjourned the inquiry till this day. By Mrs. W.

(Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor then stated that the office of comptroller was also vacant, by the decease of Mr. Saunders. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR moved that it be referred to the Officers' and Clerks' Committee, to inquire into the nature, duties, and emoluments of Comptroller of the Chamberlain, and to report thereon to this court, and whether any alteration should be made therein ; and especially as to the propriety of merging it in another office. Alderman WIRE seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. - Mr. H. L. TAYLOR then moved, " That the City Solicitor be requested to fill the office of Comptroller for the time being, until other arrangements are made re specting the office." Mr. BARELY seconded the motion.--Carried unani mously. On the motion of Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, seconded by Alderman WIRE, it was referred to the Officers' and and Clerks' Committee to inquire into the office of bridge master, and to report to the court.—Carried unani mously. Deputy HARRISON suggested that words should be added to the motion, to the effect that the Lord Mayor be requested not to call a common hall to fill up the va-, cancy pending the inquiry before the commissioners. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he had no objection to the addition to the motion of these words, which were ac cordingly added. - THE CORPORATION COMMISSION. Mr. J. WOOD, chairman of the Consolidated Com mittee, brought up the following report, which was read by Mr. Woodthorpe : "To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Coun cil assembled— " We, whose names are herein subscribed of your Con solidated Committee, to whom, on the 30th of Juue 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 we have duly proceeded therein, and that on Saturday last the Town-clerk laid before us a letter addressed to him by the secretary to the commission in terms as follows : " Downing-street, Jan. 27, 1854. Sir—l am directed by the commissioners for inquir ing into the state of the corporation of the city of London to state to you that as the examination of the officers of the corporation is now drawing to a close, it will be pro per for the commissioners to consider any further observa tions for the improvement of the corporation which may be brought before them. " It has been intimated to the commissioners that the corporation themselves might be prepared to agree upon some suggestions tending to the amendment of the consti tution of their affairs. If, therefore, the corporation should favour the commissioners with any such suggestions, the commissioners - *ill have much satisfaction in giving them an attentive and respectful consideration before they pro ceed to deliberate their report. " ' The commissioners trust that any communication of this kind by the corporation will be made with as little de lay as the circumstances may permit.—l am, sir, your obe dient servant, " J. D. COLERIDGE. " The Town Clerk.' " Your committee, feeling the urgent importance of tho above communication, take the earliest opportunity of submitting the same for the consideration of this honour able court, that they may take such proceedings therein as they may deem advisable. (Signed) " JOHN WOOD, " and twenty-six others." Considerable cheering followed the reading of ,the re port. Mr. WOOD said it would be seen that the committee could not have asked his lordship to convene a court at an earlier period. Whatever opinions they might enter tain upon the subject of offering suggestions to the commissioners they must feel that those gentlemen had taken a course both considerate and respectful towards the corporation, and trusted they would have that to which he was sure they were entitled, namely, full credit for honesty of purpose and for integrity of intention in making such a communication to the court. (Hear, hear.) He now begged to move, "That, in accord ance with a communication received from the Royal Commission, it is desirable that this court should pre pare for the eonsideration of the commissioners sugges tions for the amendment of the constitution of the cor poration." Deputy DAKIN said he had very great pleasure in seconding the motion. He thought it self-obvious that the proper course to be taken by the court, in a crisis so important to itself, was to approach the commission with the opinions of the court as to the proper steps to be taken to bring that ancient insti tution into harmony with the wants of the age. (Hear, hear.), He (Deputy Dakin) believed it was admitted on all hands, that, as far as the answer to the charges which had been made against the corporation had gone, it had been complete, and he also believed it was admitted that the court would have made changes in virtue of their own powers, if those powers had not been cramped and crippled by a parliamentary enactment. (Cheers.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he was anxious that the whole responsibility of the inquiry should rest with the royal commissioners. He moved an amendment to that effect. Mr. BARKLY seconded the amendment. After a short conversation the amendment was with drawn. The general motion was then put and carried almost unanimously, amidst loud cheering. On the motion of Mr. J. WOOD, seconded by Mr. Deputy HARRISON, it was referred to a committee of the whole court to take the necessary steps for carrying into effect the foregoing resolution,. The Lord Mayor adjourned-the court at 12 o'clock, and the committee immediately met and continued sit ting throughout the day. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT PIMLICO.—On Tues day, Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at the Artillery Arms, Rochester-row, Vauxhall bridge-road, touching the death of Thomas Connor, aged 28, a mason's labourer, in the employment of Mr. John Kelk, the extensive builder, who was killed on Thursday last, by the accidental breaking of the scaffold ing of a traveller, whilst engaged in unloading a stone barge at the works, Grosvenor-basin, Gillingham-street, Pimlico. The leading facts of the case have already appeared, and are now, therefore, merely recapitulated. When the witnesses had all been examined, the coroner recommended the jury to view the scene of the accident itself. They did so ; and upon their return some further explanations and adverse statements were given, but after consulting together for some little time, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death," affixing as an addendum that in their opinion sufficient caution had not been used in examining the foundation before the tra veller was erected. The proceedings then terminated. VAT.HE OF A WIFE IN AFFGHANISTAN.--TheAffgbans generally think nothing of the death of a wife. When my husband was in Affghanist*, he was several times asked, " Are you married? " No ;my wife is dead." " We hear you are very sorry when your wives die ; did you weep?" "Yes." Whereupon they were struck dumb with astonishment that any one could feel a wife's death Fo strongly. " Why should we grieve ?" say they, "there are plenty of others" and yet these are men of warm feelings, capable of strong attachments and sympthy ; but this only makes the fact more evident, that any violation of the law written in the hearts of all, or of the arrangements of the Creator, to say nothing of His revealed laws, brings with it its own punishment. Poly gamy has destroyed everything like domestic and family ties. Sometimes nature reasserts her right, and produces strong attachment between husband and wife, brother and brother ; but this is the exception ; and that this state of things is produced by polygamy, acid not merely by ignorance of true religion, is proved by the example of the ancient Romans during the period when divorce was unknown, and when the wife, being the sole and life-long partner of her husband, gave him not only a help-meet but a home and a domestic hearth, ideas un known to Mohammedans. There must be a mater fami lias before true family ties can exist.—Life in the Mis sion, the ()amp, and the Zenand. FLOODING OF THE RIVER CLYDE.—Okving to the melted snow and heavy falls of rain, the Clyde has been roaring in mighty state from bank to brae, and over flowing the adjoining meadows, in spite of strong and skilfully constructed embankments. Yesterday, a t Bothwell -bridge, the Clyde looked like a sea, the parks at Bothwell-haugh and the low palace parks being flooded over many hundred acres ; and the curious spectacle of green island knolls and trees growing out of a new lake was visible from Hamilton-bridge on the Low Motherwaroad, at the confluence of the Avon and the Clyde.—Aorth.

Peter Fisher, of the Royal Naval Coast Volun teer Corps, came to this port yesterday, and held a meet ing in the evening at the Sailors' Home, where a large number of seafaring men attended to hear his address on the advantages of volunteering to serve in the navy, in preference to compulsory service. There were about 600 present, and the sentiments of Capt. Fisher seemed thoroughly understood, and were received with general approbation. To-day the gallant captain commenced enrolling the volunteers. ble flag- PLYMOUTH, FEB. 1.

A remarkable scene was exhibited at Devonport yes terday, where in the forenoon there was a large number of landsmen at the rendezvous, near the dock gat es . Th e motley group comprised agricultural labourers, masons' labourers, butchers' boys, &c., all of whom appeared de sirous to get themselves booked for service in her Majesty's navy. WOOLWICH, FEB. 1. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Master-Commander Ro berts, having reported ready for service, the detachments of the Royal Artillery under orders to proceed to Gib raltar, Malta, and Corfu, numbering 190 officers and men, were marched from the garrison at seven o'clock a.m., beaded by the band and drums and flutes of the regiment, under the superintendence of Brigade-Major Bingham and Captain Riddell, Deputy Ass.stant Quar termaster-General of Artillery, to the dockyard, and embarked in the Cyclops, at half past seven, for convey ance to their destinations. The baggage was put on board during the day, and the Cyclops will leave Wool wich at the earliest possible moment. The Hannibal, 90, screw steam-ship, launched yester day at Deptford, was towed down to Woolwich by the Monkey and Zephyr steam-vessels, and was immediately taken into the basin to have her engines put on board. The James, hired convict ship, arrived yesterday at Woolwich, with 35 invalid convicts from Bermuda on board, and they were sent to the prison at Pentonville to-day. The James left Bermuda on the 19th December, with 100 convicts, whose period of service had expired, or whose health was not sufficiently strong to allow of their being employed on the public works, and 63 of these were left at Cork, two . having died on the passage. There are an additional number of convicts at Bermuda in readiness for a return passage to this country. The Bermudien, of the 21st December, says :—" We have heard of no case of yellow fever during the past week. We are assured that the troops are now in excel lent health. There may be isolated cases of a febrile nature, but these islands are at present free from any epidemic." LAUNCH OF THE 91-GUN SCRE W LINE-OF BATTLE-SHIP HANNIBAL. The steadily-increasing power of our screw navy was again augmented at the Royal Dockyard, Deptford, on Tuesday, by the launch of another screw liner, called the Hannibal, named after the celqbrated Carthagenian general. Notwithstanding the unfavourable appearance of the weather, so, irresistible are the attractions of a ship launch still, that an immense number of persons assembled to witness the interesting event. As soon as the water had risen sufficiently high, Miss Martin, the amiable and accomplished daughter of the gallant captain superintendent, was led to the bow, and taking the bottle of champagne suspended therefrom, performed the usual ceremony of christening in a most graceful manner, by dashing the bottle against the bow. The ribbons were then severed, the dog-shores were knocked away, and the formidable engine of war glided beautifully into her future element about 3.30, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled thousands. The Hannibal ran up the river, and was brought to just off the Victualling-yard. Not any of the Lords of the Admiralty, and not many navy or army officers, were present. Three cheers were given for the captain super intendent by the artisans and other workmen employed on the launch, and the vast assemblage then dispersed. It was first intended the Hannibal should be a 90- gun sailing-ship, and built at Woolwich yard, and her keel was laid down there jiist after the memorable launch of that' noble three-decker, the Trafalgar, 120, and in the same slip from which that ship was launched ; but it was subsequently removed to Deptford yard, and again laid down on the 12th Dec. ' 1848, on No. 1 slip, and immediately proceeded with ; and it was not until she was in a very advanced state of completion that the superior advantages of the screw propeller became known, and it was deemed expedient to convert her into a screw-ship of 91-guns. Her conversion was com menced in September, 1852, by lengthening her nearly 10 feet by the stern. Her dimensions are as follows : Length from fore part of figure-head to the aft ft. in. side of taffrail Length on the upper deck Length of the keel for tonnage 179 Breadth, extreme 5B fl Breadth for tonnage 56 57 3 Breadth, moulded 5 Depth in the hold 23 11 Depth from the upper side of taff-rail to the 57 0 under side of false keel Depth' from the upper side of the figure-head 51 6 to the under side of the false keel ... * ********* No. Tons.

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH BRITISH R A ILIVAY.=—...I.II accident took place on the North British Railway on Thursday evening last. The train which left Dalkeith at 8.30 p.m. had only proceeded to about Ittillerhill, when, from some unascertained cause, the engine and tender ran off the line and stuck fast in a bank. For tunately none of the passengers were seriously injured, but they had to make their way as they best could, in the dark, to Niddrie and Portobello, not without some danger and difficulty, the greater part of the road hav ing been newly opened up and under repair. A gentle man seated in a first-class carriage had a narrow escape ; he was thrown by the force of the concussion to the further end of the carriage, when almost instantly that part on which he had been sitting was smashed to pieces.—Scotsman. ~~~~~ Llll FRE \CH IN A MONTH!
