ITONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A marked improvement in the position of the Bank of England is exhibited by the return com pleted to Wednesday last, which shows an increase of notes and gold, and a falling off in the discount O perations of the establishment.

Tea has been dull, while sugar, except for good grocery qualities, has been a shade cheaper. Coffee has remained inactive at pre vious rates, while a good enquiry has been expe rienced for rice, but the fresh rates demanded by importers have, in some measure, checked busi ness. The tallow market has exhibited more animation, and a slight improvement has been apparent for both present and forward delivery. Although there is very little alteration either in the demand for accommodation or the terms upon which it is supplied, the discount market appears a little easier, chiefly in consequence of the favour able alterations exhibited in the Bank of England return.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COUFT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. DICKSON 'V, THE EARL OF WILTON, VISCOUNT COMBER MERE, AND GENERAL PEEL. Mr. Celeridge continued his opening of the case on the part of the plaintiff this morning, the first of which will be found in another column. He read and commented upon the letter of Lord Combermere to General Peel, in which he recommended that Colonel Dickson should be removed, and set forth certain charges preferred against him, that he had received certain moneys from the Wellington College in respect of clothing and arms lost at Ore memo, and portions of which moneys he had retained In his possession, although applied to by the Quartermaster of the regiment on the subject; and also that Col. Dickson had been guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman in threatening his brother cflicer. To this letter General Peel wrote a reply, in which he stated, that after reading Lord Cornbermere's letter, and the document accompanying it, he felt authorised in directing the dismissal of Colonel Dickson. The learned counse commented strongly on the unfair and unjustifiable course that had been pursued by Lord Combermere upon the more representations made by Lord Wilton, without any inquiry or allowing Colonel Dickson to refute or explain the charges that had been made against him; and also the course pursued by Gen. Peel. He then referred to the motion brought forward by the late Mr. Thomas Duncombe in the House of Commons on the course that had been pursued towards Colonel Dickson, and which led to General Peel requiring a statement of the charges against Colonel Dick son from Lord Combermere. A court of inquiry was after wards formed, composed of Col. French, Lord Arthur Hay, and Colonel Hall. The proceedings of their inquiry were not in the possession of Colonel Dickson on the occasion of the former trial against Lord Wilton, and the learned counsel said he would show how the inquiry had been conducted and how Colonel Dickson had been fettered throughout it. At the former trial, Lord Arthur Hay, one of the judges, actually came down to the court and volunteered ;communications to Lord Wilton, his at torney, and counsel. It would be absurd to suppose such a thing; but let the jury only imagine one of our judges pursuing such a course. To show the manner in which the inquiry was conducted, Colonel Dickson was refused the assistance of a solicitor or counsel; but it so happened that a Mr. Harrison, who was connected by marriage with Colonl Dickson, was asked by him to assist him ; but so soon as they found that gentleman had some legal blood in his veins, they prevented his offering any assistance, under threat of expulsion from the room. There was also a Govern ment shorthand writer present, and also one on the part of Col. Dickson, but they were prohibited from taking notes of the full inquiry, but only such parts as the Court thought proper, under threat of expulsion. The learned counsel then read extracts of the proceedings before the Court of Inquiry, into the conduct of Col. Dickson ; and the evi dence of Capt. O'Shaughnessey, the paymaster, Capt. Cooper, the adjutant, and the witnesses relating to the charges ; and which mainly consisted of questions in respect of the regimental mess and other accounts, and in which charges were reflected upon the very professional existence of Col. Dickson as an officer and gentleman, and commented in strong terms upon the irregular manner in which these proceedings had been conducted. The learned gentleman then read all the correspondence that had taken place between Col. Dickson and Lord Combermere, on the request of the latter that Col. Dickson should resign, and his dismissal. The learned counsel then adverted to the more serious part of the case, in which Col. Dickson had brought before the Horse Guards the fact of Lord Wilton bringing a lady, not his wife, and having the regiment paraded before her, and also obtaining her presentation to the Queen by a lady whose name he would not mention, upon which a court of inquiry was instituted, as also the manner in which the second action had been settled by arrangement entered into between Mr. Edwin James, as counsel for Col. Dick son, and Mr. Thomas Duncombe on the part of Lord Wil ton, in which it was arranged that Colonel Dickson should go before the court of inquiry, and ask leave to withdraw this charge made by him. That Lord Wilton should use all his personal interest to obtain a restoration of Colonel Dickson, and to obtain military employment for him, and also in consideration of the loss and expense Col. Dickson had been put to in respect of the regiment, and the action brought against Lord Wilton that Lord Wilton should pay Col. Dickson £6OO, that sum was paid by Lord Wilton and by Col, Dickson over to Mr. Harrison. The learned counsel then read some correspondence between Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. Edwin James, and Colonel Dickson, with Earl Wilton, on the subject of carrying out that part of the arrangement by which Lord Wilton was to use his influence at the Horse Guards in reinstating Colonel Dickson. The learned counsel having gone through all the letters and documents relating to the case, proceeded to state how he proposed to show that Lord Combermere and General Peel were re sponsible for the conspiracy which they had been drawn into by Lord Wilton, and having summarised the evidence he proposed to adduce, concluded by a brilliant peroration reflecting upon the high and illustrious character of Lord Combermere, now verging upon a century in duration, for the most part passed with honour in the service of his coun try, and also upon the career of General Peel, but at the same time passing some very severe and caustic remarks upon the conduct of Lord Wilton, whose only aim had been to crush and destroy the very existence of Colonel Dickson as an of and gentleman of honour. The learned counsel did not conclude his speech until late in the afternoon, The trial will occupy three or four days. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. PETITIONS IN FORMA PAUPERIS. The cases during the morning were devoid of interest. There were a great number of meetings to audit accounts, so numerous, indeed, that the names were neither published under the usual head of Law Notices or on the Court List, but simply designated "Before Mr. Registrar Hazlitt, vari ous, at 11, 12, 1, and 2 ; before Mr. Registrar Miller, 29 estates, at lb" As under the new act the accounts are audited about every four months, a great amount of trouble is occasioned without an equivalent benefit, for the peti tions in forma pauperis increase, and, probably, two thirds of the audits to-day there was not a shilling to divide—in fact the bankrupt got completely whitewashed at the expense of the general fund—the solicitor appointed by the Lord Chancellor receiving three guineas in each case where no assignee is appointed, and few creditors choose to become assignees where they may possibly have to pay all the expenses should legal proceedings be necessary. In fact,;as it has been recently said by one of the learned Commissioners, the law was all in favour of the debtor. His Honour, Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, to-day in stanced a case where a bankrupt had assigned all his pro perty to a sister-in-law residing in Scotland, and she being out of the jurisdiction of the Court refused to be examined. The bankrupt had in this case denuded himself of all his property and then came before the Court as a pauper. Such cases were frequent, and must be carefully watched. He wished in this particular case that Mr. Aldridge would look into the matter. A. clerk to Mr. Aldridge said that he would leave the matter in the hands of the Court. His Hon ,ur said that it ought not to be left to the Court —there must be some,stop put to these petitions in forma pauperis. The case was adjourned for the attendance of Mr. Aldridge, SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. K err.) A LANDLORD FORGIVING A TENANT £l7 ItENT,--YURNI- VAL V. BATES. This was an action to reco i47rent duo so far back as June, 1857, Plaintiff stated that the defendant was his tenant formerly. 'When defendant left the house, plaintiff did not press him for the money, because he was in distressed circumstances. Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—Come, sir, did you not forgive defendant this money if ho gave up possession of the house ? Plaintiff—Certainly not. I have waited patiently for my money, and I have not sued for it beforo in consequence of defendant being in needy cicumstances. Plaintiff's collector produced a book to show that the debt had not been written off. Mr. Buchanan—l shall call good witnesses who will satis factorily prove that plaintiff forgave my client this money. Plaintiff—Now, is it at all likely that a landlord would forgive a man £47. (Laughter.) His Honour— Well, I confess that my experience hardly bears out such a state of affairs. (Renewed laughter.) Defendant and his wife then deposed that plaintiff had offered to forego the rent, provided they gave up possession by a certain time. They did so, and had not been troubled about the matter since. His Honour—lt is certainly not a very common occur rence, but such things have been known. There is one fact which induces me to find for defendant, and that is plaintiff's having neglected to sue for six years, lam not satisfied with plaintiff's case, and I shall nonsuit Costs allowed. NOVEL POINT IN THE LAW OF TROVER.-BOLE V. BISHOP. This was a somewhat singular action, the plaintiff, who is a fishmonger, of Billingsgate •market, seeking to recover damages for the wrongful conversion and detention of a pad of fish. Mr. Vann, of Providence-row and Basinghall street, appeared for defendant, who is described as a cartminder. The facts appear e d t o b e th a t u pon a certain day a pad of fish was put in defendant's charge. Some stranger applied for it, and a woman (employed by dofendant) re fused to d e li ver i t up, unless plaintiff himsel f came f or it. When plaintiff did apply for it it was rather late in the market d a y, an d d efendant demanded 4d. for taking care of it. Plaintiff refused to take the pad under those conditions, and contended that defendant had no right to charge so much. His Honour held that there was evidence. He recom mended defendant not to render himself liable by taking care of articles unless the owners agreed to pay him, as he could not recover in law. He had erred in point of law, and no doubt plaintiff was morally liable to pay the 4d., which ought to have been paid. Under all the circum stances, his Honour would only give a verdict for the uluinipr 1 actual market value of the fish but no cost. Verdict for plaintiff, SHARE MARKETS—This day. Share Railways, !Mr..

THE SUN, LONbON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1863. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter after twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Great Eastern Railway (Additional Powers) and Great Northern Railway (Cheshire Lines). ALKALI WORKS REGISTRATION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Mr. BRUCE entered into an explanation of the various provisions of the measure. The object of the bill is to compel the more effectual condensation of muriatic acid gas in alkali works, which it appears from the general opinion of practical chemists, is eliminated in immense bodies from these works, and has proved most injurious to human life and destructive to vegetation of all kinds. An eminent inspector and sub-inspectors were proposed to be appoiLted to visit works, and manufacturers not complying with the behests of the bill would be prosecuted at quarter sessions, and heavy penalties imposed on proprietors and workmen as well. The bill, it may be recollected, originated with the Earl of Derby, and has already received the approbation of the House of Lords. Mr. VIVIAN explained the large interests identified with the production of alkali and the various manufactures with which it was interested, and trusted all parties would be permitted ample means of appeal against what they might consider unjust prosecutions. Mr. BOUVERIE deprecated the interference with trade proposed by the bill, and believed it would have been Letter to have strengthened the common law, which he considered ample for every purpose. Besides, the manufacturers had of their own option adopted every means which science could suggest for mitigating the evils incidental to their pursuits. At a future stage he should propose that the operation of the bill be limited to a certain number of years, so that it might soon come again under the review of the house. Lord STANLEY said the owners of land in the neigh bourhood of large manufacturing towns had great reason to complain, because the vegetation was being destroyed to a greater extent every year. The law was not, at present, equal to the emergency. Mr. IIEADLAM intimated that the great body of the manufacturers, to their credit, were not opposed to the bill, and thus all their reasonable requirements should be ac• ceded to. Mr. HENLEY considered quarter sessions the very worst court to decide in such cases. Lord STANLEY said probably it would be well to sub stitute county courts for quarter sessions. • The various clauses were then proceeded with, and seve ral verbal amendments introduced. [LEFT SITTING.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYING THE VISITORS TO THE HANOVER-SQUARE Roosts, AND ASSAULTING A POLICE SEE.GRANT.—John Scott, a rough-looking fellow, living in Church-lane, St. Giles's, was charged as follows : Sergeant Richard Edwards, 2 C, said that on the previous night, about 11 o'clock, he was on duty at the Concert for Female Musicians, in Hanover -square Rooms, where the prisoner caused a great deal of confusion by calling cabs from the stand and carriages before they were wanted. He told the prisoner to desist, but he refused, and struck him a violent blow, saying, " You take that 1" iThe manager of the Hanover-square Rooms was present, and wished to make a statement. Mr. Payne, the manager of the Hanover-square Rooms, said that the conduct of the prisoner and his companions, about a dozen in number, had become a great nuisance, the visitors to the rooms being subject to having their pockets picked and to hear the grossest blackguardism from them. In consequence of their behaviour at times they had been obliged to close one of the doors, so as to let the visitors out at one place, that the assistance of the police might be more concentrated, and a check somewhat put to the intolerable nuisance of the fellows. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for a month. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERIES OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND REFRESH MENT HOUSEKEEPERS. —A shabby looking woman who gave the name of Anne Mitchel, was placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe, charged with the following robberies : Mrs. Jane Rushbrook of 37, Marsham-street, beer housekeeper, said—Prisoner came into our house yesterday afternoon and asked for half a pint of beer. The very moment I went to the bar where the prisoner was standing I missed a pint pot I had seen there just before, and asked her for it, and she directly produced it from under her shawl, and I mentioned my former losses. Mr. Selfe—What were they ? Prosecutrix—l had two pots taken yesterday, and this woman had been into my house, another was stolen from my house on Tuesday, and I lost one last week. When this woman produced the pot from under her shawl I gave tier into custody. There was a quantity of metal such as these pots are made of found in her room and all these cans Prosecutrix pointed to a long string of publicans' cans which the police had placed upon the court table. A Policeman said he was called and took the prisoner for stealing the pot, and then went to her address, where he found the cans produced. It was clear that one had had pewter melted in it, Mr. Sleigh—What is she, Witness—A married woman, separated from her husband. Prisoner—l did •it through distress. Mr. Selfe—What was found upon her. Policeman—Sevenpence halfpenny. Mr. Selfe to prisoner—Distress did not make you have all these publicans' cans in your possession, or steal that pot with sevenpence in your pocket. Prisoner —I took the cans to get water in. Mr. ,Selfe—l fear you had them for another object. You are committed to hard labour for three months. TIIAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A WORKMAN. Charles lg 'earthy, an Irishman, was brought before Mr. Woolych, charged with stealing two dozen silver-plated terrets, valued at £3 65., the property of Mr. Charles Fillingham, a saddler and harnessmaker in the Whitechapel-road. Th e unsuccessful with his work men. convicted, and sentenced to several have prosecutor ha s been been tried, very various periods of imprisonment for robbing him. In February last two of Mr. Fillingham's men were committed from this court for stealing a large quantity of valuable property belonging to Mr. Fillingham, who is known in the trade to be one of the best and most generous of masters. Yesterday afternoon a girl named Frances Ann Steele, in the service of Mr. Fillingham, saw the prisoner creep into the warehouse at the back of the shop where he bad no right to be, and remove two parcels of terrets from a shelf. Each parcel contained one dozen of terrets. The girl informed her master of what she had seen, and he went in search of the prisoner, who was about to leave the pre mises with the property in his possession. Mr, Fillingham intercepted him, and he ran back into the warehouse, and thence into an underground cellar. Mr. Fillingham heard something fall and make "a clinking noise." He went into the cellar, which the prisoner was leaving, and found there a bundle fastened very roughly with a thong. It contained two parcels of silver plated terrets. In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the prosecutor said that no goods for sale or any other new goods manufactured in his trade were ever deposited in his cellar. He was certain the brown paper packages of terrets were on a shelf in the warehouse a few minutes before the pri soner entered it. The piece of white thong had been taken from an upper floor. The prisoner had been in his employ eleven and a-half years, and received regular wages of 225. every week. He lent the prisoner £2 a fortnight ago be cause he wanted money to purchase some necessaries for a sick child. The prisoner set up a curious defence. A child of his was lying dead. He wanted money to pay the expenses of the funeral, and he took the two bundles of terrets, with the intention of pawning them and redeeming them again as soon as possible. Mr. Woolrych said he could Rot believe the defence set up. Tho prisoner was employed by a respectable trades man, in receipt of regular wages, and had committed a serious robbery involving a gross breach of confidence. The defence that the prisoner had Forte misfortune, that his child was lying dead, and that he was labouring under great anxiety, could not be admitted as an excuse or pallia tion of crime. Every man was labouring under some anxiety, and all had to struggle in the world. He com mitted the prisoner for trial. Foreign Mail. Packet List. MAILS DUE.

These races are held on the same ground as that on which the Bibury Club hold their meeting, consequently no com ments are required at our hands regarding the arrange ments in the stands and enclosures. The weather, if pos sible, was more brilliant and enjoyable than the preceding day, but the racing could hardly be said to be so good. The first race of the day was the Biennial Stakes, for which Gladstone, on account of his beating King of the Vale at Ascot, was installed first favourite, but he was beaten very Easily, not being able to be even one of the first three. The race was won cleverly by Lord Strathmore's horse Sea King. The Stand Plate produced seven horses to compete for it, and Confidence wa,s made the favourite at the com mencement of the betting. lint an enormous quantity of money being got upon Buck he became first favourite, Confidence retiring to 4to 1. The race was won rather cleverly by Confidence, Southport being second. The fa vourite did not obtain a very good start. For the Stock bridge Cup even money was laid on King of Diamonds, and he thoroughly justified the odds placed in him by win ning in a canter. Tho Beaufort Handicap was a match between Balhain and Kingswood, resulting in the clever victory of the former. The Selling Sweepstakes was won by Indolence, who was put up to auction after the race, and was bought in for 130 guineas. Captain Little riding, Libellous was made the favourite for the Andover Stakes, but Mr. Thompson on Rubicon passed the winning-post first very easily. Ten horses came to the starting-post for the Mottisfont Stakes, the result being in favour of Dur ham. Full details will be found below.

Tademus made'play, followed by Gladstone, Golden Dust, and Voluptas, Sea King and Laurel being the last two, but after running a few strides Sea King rushed past his horses and came on with a clear lead, Voluptas going on second, with Tademus next, Gladstone at the same time dropping into the rear. Descending the hill, Sea King considerably increased his lead, but as they passed the miie post the lot closed up, and ran in company to the bushes. Here Blondin took the third place, and on reaching the dip fademus was beaten; the favourite at the same time joined the front next the rails, the four running in a line to the enclosure, where Gladstone was disposed of, leaving the issue with the three, Sea King, who held his advantage to the end, win ning cleverly by a length; a similar distance between the second and third, two lengths separating the third and fourth.

Cooper won the toss, and of course chose the Middlesex side. The preliminaries having been arranged, the start was effected at 25 minutes past three. Cooper, after the first few strokes, had a decided advantage, and before passing Finche's had obtained a clear lead. The race was Tirtually over at this point, for Cooper had it all to himself, and he rowed in a winner easily ; in fact, he won the match just as he pleased. The distance was rowed in 24 minutes. Odds at starting, 5 to 2 on Cooper. An accident took place during the rowing of the match, which nearly terminated fatally to two gentlemen and a lady. It appears that they had hired a small boat to accompany the race, when, from the usual recklessness of the steamers, the boat got jammed in betwixt two of them. The greatest excitement was caused on board, as it was thought that the whole party must have met a watery grave. Happily it was found when the steamboats were separated, that only one of the party had been capsized into the river. The life buoys were immediately lowered, and the unfortunate gentleman was dragged on board little the worse for his immersion. MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate. A few parcels were taken for export by French buyers, and the trade ruled firm at the full prices of Monday last. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large. Ame rican wheats, which were inquired for by French buyers, were held at extreme rates, Other descriptions fully sup ported Monday's currency, and a good retail business was transacted. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full qno- tations. The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was very small, and the trade ruled firm at very full prices. Malt commanded but little attention, at late rates. The supply of oats was very large, and the trade ruled heavy, at a reduction in prices of 6d per quarter. Beans and peas, the supplies of which were small, com - mended fully the prices of Monday. Most kinds of flour were in fair request, at full cur rencies. Barrels were in limited demand for export to France. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flom. English 810 I 1 2,260 370 ; 410 Irish. - Foreign 10,270 I 50,210 I 250 ski 16,270 brie.

We have to report a slow trade for all kinds of hops. The demand is in a great measure confined to goad and fine parcels, which fairly support last week's currency. The supply of foreign hops on sale is seasonab l y large. Advices from the plantations state that considerable progress has been made during the week, and that the prospects are very favourable.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was held at Guildhall for the dispatch of business. THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY. The LORD MAYOR, on taking the chair, said that he was happy to state that he had received a com munication from Lieut. General Knollys expressive of the gratification which the entertainment given by the corporation on Monday week had afforded their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Lord Mayor added he had received assurances from many other distinguished persons of the great pleasure they experienced on the occa sion. Mr. WOODTHORPE, the town clerk, read the letter as follows: Marlborough House, June 9. " Lieut. General Knollys presents his compli ments to the Lord Mayor, and is desired by the Prince and Princess of Wales to express their Royal Highnesses' sense of the warm reception which they experienced, and of the exce'lent arrangements which prevailed at the entertainment last night at the Guildhall. " Their Royal. Highnesses request the Lord Mayor to convey to the corporation, and especially to thoso gentlemen who undertook the duty of carrying these arrangements out, their grateful acknowledgment of the exertions which procured them so agreeable an evening. " The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." (Cheers.) . . On the motion of Mr. TRUSCOTT, chairman of the City lands committee, it was resolved that the com munication of Lieut. General Knollys be entered on the journals of the court and printed in the minutes of proceedings. rUBT. THE NEW STREET TO THE MANSION HOUSE. A question of privil ege w hi c h l e d to an a n g ry debate, was raised by Mr. Lawley, in reference to the efforts made by the corporation to vindicate what they conceive to be their right to construct the new street from Blackfriars to the Man sion House. It appeared that Deputy Do Jersey had given notice of a motion ..o the effect, that it being the undoubted privilege of every member of that court to be informed of the financial position of the corporation, it be re ferred to a committee of the corporation forthwith to report to the court what are the funds of the cor poration available for so great an undertaking as the formation of the new street, and which would enable the court to make the large outlay of £350,000, as agreed to by the court on the 28th of May last. Mr. Lawley complained din indignant terms that the notice of motion had been communi cated to counsel, who were opposed to the corpora tion in the select committee of the Lords ou the subject of the new street, and who used it to dispa rage the case of the corporation. He also made some strong observations in reference to a circum stance which he mentioned. Deputy Harrison, an old member of the Common Council, had been seen in open communication in the committee with par ties opposed to the corporation while the bill relat ing to the new street was under consideration. He moved that it was a breach of the privileges of the court for any member of it to communicate to coun sel retained in opposition to the corporation a notice of motion placed on its paper of business for discus. sion. This motion was supported by Mr.. Rudkin and other members. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR reminded the court that De puty Harrison was not only a common councilman but one of its representatives in the Metropolitan Board of Works, and he suggested that it would be a more dignified course to state exactly what the charge was it was meant to prefer against Deputy Harrison rather than to deal in inuendoes. He also bore testimony, speaking from long personal know ledge and experience, to the fearless, honest, and able manner in which the deputy as his colleague discharged his duties as a member of the Metropoli tan Board of Works in what he conceived to be not only the interests of the corporation but of the public at large. Dr. Abraham, Deputy Elliott, and Mr. Rowe also took the part of the deputy in this matter, or de fended the right of any member to divulge any notice of motion which might be supposed to concern the public. • The motion of Mr. Lawley was then put and carried. THE CITY CHARITIES. Mr. SCOTT, the Chamberlain, read a communica tion which had been addressed to him by the charity commissioners, to the effect that they propose to institute an inquiry into the charities of the corpora tion of London, and whether any and what improve ments may be made in the management and appli cation of them. The commissioners requested tha a day might be named for entering upon the inquiry. The matter was referred for consideration to the City lands committee. STATE OF THE CLERGY IN SOUTHWARK. Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY presented a petition from the Rev. Charlton Lane, rural dean of the deanery of Southwark, and Mr. Charles Sumner, treasurer, and other members of the Surrey Church Association. They stated that, owing to the great increase of population, a number of ecclesiastical districts had been formed in Southwark and in the parts adjacent, for which little or no emolument had been provided ; that for many years there resided in those districts many merchants, manufacturers, and other persons of substance, by whose pew rents and charitable donations provision was made for the support of the clergy, for the maintenance of schools, and other charitable institutions ; that lately, owing to increase of railways and other causes, such persons of substance had left those parishes for more distant stiburbs ; that in many such districtparishes, containing from 5,000 to 9,000 people, all poor, the income of the clergyman, from all sources, had scarcely, if at all, exceeded £lOO a year, while the labours thrown upon him were too onerous for any one man to discharge ; that in several of such district parishes the clergyman was the only resident gentleman, and therefore the only person who could devote the time and attention requisite for the creation and maintenance of schools and other charities, and for personally superintending the visiting and relieving of the thousands of poor and sick by whom he was sur matter before the court because of the la rounded. The petitioners ventured to rb,reinegsttahteis bs of which poor districts had been fo rmed themin securing for the held by the corporation in part s of thede;a and ahoy h o e u y t implored the court to aid instruction w welfare, fhairceh, and w as that essential pas toral o o r o poor h r e e i s r i residents that present nt and future care and per sonal s y mpath y without whi ch t h e y must become e stran g ed from t h e ir superiors in ran k and fortune , a nd at no distant day become the dangero us classes. On the motion of Mr. De Jersey, the petition was r e t , o a r u n awnidt hfiannainnesetriu'oeilltimonitttheaet, to x r r a e ni d to re th an e coal,repo in the event of their recommending a grant, the money be devoted to educational purposes within the deanery of Southwark. STATUETTE OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES. In the course of the sitting some explanation passed between the Lord Mayor and Mr. Aneerten, from which it appeared that the statuette of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, executed by Mr. Marshall Wood for the Lord. Mayor, was in tended, r.ot, as has been erroneously stated out of doors, for the Council Chamber. but for his own private residence ; but that one which was being esti cuted at the expense of Mr. Anderton , was designedto adorn the Council Chamber.
