COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held yester day, at Guildhall, for the dispatch of public and private business. LATE PROSECUTION OF CERTAIN LIVERYMEN. Mr. OLDHAM called the attention of the Court to the Report made by a Committee of the Court of Aldermen on the subject of the late proceed ings in the Court of King's Bench. Be was of opinion that the expenses of those proceedings ought to be paid not out of the City - ,Purse } but out of the pockets of those gentlemen with whom they originated, and then they would have twelve or thirteen hundred pognds to pay for that which was not worth an old pen. He com plained of the manner in which the Report presses on the individuals who had been prosecut ed, and finally moved that the Report should be referred to the Committee of Privileges. Mr: T. N. WILLIAMS spoke ag ainst the Report, and was of opinion that tile Court oug ht to interpose to save those twin being crushed or materially injured, who had been_the subjects of the late proceedings. Nlr. Sheriff WAITHMAN commented on the proceedings of the Court of Aldermen, and contrasted. the lax attendance of the Members of that Court generally, with their bill attend ance-on a late occasion. He complained of the suppression of a part of the proceedings, and weds on to contend, that it was not even now clear that the Livery had not a right to act as they did at that Common Hall, which bad given rise to the recent appeal to the Court of King's Bench.. Its chewed. that there were precedents for what they had done, and in sisted that, if they had not the right which then claimed, if it were shewn that the individuals referred to believed thatthey had the right for which they contended, that belief would be a sufficient justification of their conduct. lie was then proceeding to make some remarks on the concern which Sir W. Curtis had manifested to save the City Purse, and to com pare with this his conduct in other instances where he had riot spared it ; when- . _ . _ Mr. A. Bttows spoke to oreer, and complained of the per sonal charge preferred against a Member of the Court in his absence. Mr. WAITHMAN resumed.—He thought Sir Wm. Curtis ought to conic forward to explain tire circumstances to which he had referred, and he wished the Lord Mayor to make a note of it on his paper, that the Hon. Bart. might know that that subject was likely to be brought into discussion. Mr. A.. BROWN believed in his conscience, that those by whom the Report had been drawn. up were animated by nu feelings of personal hostility, but had- thought it right to adopt it on general principles. Mr. Alderman Woo° spoke against the Report, at Which he had been exceedingly surprised. . . The motion was then agreed 1 o. BIBLE SOCIETY. Mr. Sheriff WI LLIAms presented u :Armorial from the City of London Auxiliary Bible Society, •praying the Court for pe cuniary aid. He moved that the Secretary should attend at the Bar. The Secretaryappeared at the Bar, and briefly addressed the Court in support of the Memorial. A Member wished to know why the advertisement of the Society was anonyluims in one Paper, and signed-by the Se cretary in another? • The SECRETARY said he appeared there as the reiiresenta.• tire of a public body, but bad no . discretionary power to offer arguments of his own, ur to give explanations which had not been authorised by that body. He however disclaimed all political feeling on the part of the Society, and this be could not better illustrate than by referring - to the proceedings at a late'utteting, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer moved one of , the resolutions, and the Worthy Sher& (Mr. Wil liams)' the other. Mr. FAv eLL withdrew all opposition on his part to the Me morial, and atter a conversation, in which Mr. S. Dixon, Mr. Waithman, Mr. T. N. Williams, Mr. A. Brown, and other Members, took part, the Memorial was ordered to be referred to the Committee of General Purposes. Mr. Diattiti moved that there should be an instruction to the ComMittee, to inquire into the reason why the advertise- . ment which appeared us one Morning Paper was.sigffed by the Secretary, while no name appeared to the advertisement that had been inserted in another. A new conversation arose on this 'notion, which was finally negatived. THE QUEEN. The Requisition to' the Lost; Misvost, praying him to call a Court of Coinmost- Council fur the'P'urpose of petitioning Par liament for the restoration of the name of the Queen to, the Liturgy, and the restitution of. all her rights as Queen Con sort, having beets read, Mr. FAVELL, in rising to submit to the-Conrt a : Resolutioti of which the object was a Petition to therHouse of Cominil fur the restoration of her Majesty's name in the Littirgy,- an the restitution of all her rights and dignities ai , -Qnen Con sort, felt the difficulty of saying any4ding new .upon topics which had been so amply.anitahly discussed. He deeply la niented the necessity of recurring so •oaten • tfi-'the,:subject •of her Majesty's grievances ;. -but who were to be'blamed -for this but the Ministers of the Crown, who, alter abandoning the unjust and impolitic proceedings against her Majesty, had nut the honour to do her justice, but kept every thing suspended, With a view of throwing the apple of discord among the people, and screening themselves from that inquiry into their -con, duct Which, he trusted,wauld still be instituted? He-could nut but reflect with satisfaction upOn the part which the Corpora tion of London had taken- throughout.% he whole of ,these pro-. eeedings. In the course ut last-year, they had at once shown their respect to the Family on the Throne, and their attach= went to the principles of the - Crititiitiosi. Within-that short -space of time, they had hail otcasian to express their sorrow for-the death of the late venerable Sovereign, and of anothei Member of his Family, who Was at once a Prince among Phi= losophers, and a•-Philosopher .amorie •Princes, hey had shown their •zeal' for" Itsfyalty. and they had .shewn lihewiss their rvgard for the Constitution; in exrpressing, their abhor rence ut that unjust anti tineunstitutOnsti nreaatirs, :the i3il; of Pains and Penalties, by which her Majesty's enemies had sought to ruin her honour, and deprive her of her just rights and privileges. Though that illustrious Per son had been completely acquitted, yet every thing was kept suspended, and Parliament had been prorogued in order to holster rip a tottering Administration, by raising a'spirit of Royal, or rather Ministerial Radicalism, and screen them from that inquiry which tii• justice of the country demanded. An attempt had been shade to identify Administration with the king, as if attachment to the King's Ministers and to the Person of the Sovereign were one and the same thing. • Fie should be glad to know who of Isis Majesty's subjects bail sworn allegiance to his Ministers. The short way would be to pass an Act of Parliament at once, making it high treason to speak disrespectfully of his Majesty's Ministers. The ob ject of the Resolution which he was about to move, was to re store her Majesty's'name to the solemn service of the Church, that the People of England tnightpray publicly for that Illus. trions Persou, whom they already prayed for in their hearts. It was extremely doubtful whether there was any legal au thority for omitting her Majesty'S name ; and it appeared, from a learned ,and elaborate investigation of the subject which he had latelyseen,, that every Clergyman who omitted it was liable to a civil prosecution. He conk! 'not pretend tit decide upon that question, but be trusted, at all events,:that the Housebf Commoris would entertain the subject of their . Petition, and that they would take such measures as 'would not only restore,her Majesty to her rights and dignities, hut lead to the punishment of his Majesty's Ministers. He can chided by moving tyre-several Resolutions. Mr. SournoaTe seconded the motion, and in a speech of some length, supported the argomeots of the preceding speaker.--(Soma applause. below the bar was heard at the close of his-speech.) Mr. S. DixoN . said, if any symptom of applause or disap probation were manifested below the liar, lie should move that the Court should he closed. He hopes! that which had just been heard would nut be repeated. . • Mr. CLARK was satisfied from the very arguments aged in support of them, that it was•his duty to oppose the Resolu tions. Ile had expected that some argument would have been used to shew that the Queen possessed rights defined by law, which had been violated in her vise. He was aware • that it was the custom to allow the Queen a Palace and a Court ; but it was no right ; and the Public had no right to intertereiwith the private arrangements between the King arid' his' Consort. If she was deprived of 'these things he • would say it was mean, pitiful. and contemptible ;•but he was discussing the . question of right. The erasing of her name from the Liturgy was equally contemptible as Unchristian ; but who will say that she had a right to have it restored when the point was disputed,. and was full of subtleties ? They had no right to suppose that the House of Commons would not take her Majesty's case into considerationin the Sartre way as was now proposed to be recommended to,it. Her Majesty was now in perfect safety, and therefore the pre sent motion was uncalled for. It would only arouse again the just indignation of the People, and he, therefore, moved the previous question. as an amendment.. Mr. S. DixoN seconded the amendment. This question of the Liturgy had done more injury to her Majesty's cause than any thing else. Many respectable men had been accuses! of creeping into holes and earners.—(Hear, hear !)-1-le would tell them bow that was: if they were to express a public opi nion, they would have had a taste (the Worthy Gentleman opposite had had but a very small taste) of what public opi nion was. They would be injured in their persons, or drowned with Llamour. The object was, to bring to condign punish ment all those who had the conduct of• affairs ; and who were quite as,clear in their characters as those that accused them. he sooner this matter was dropped and forgotten, the better for the peace and safety of the country. He did not wish to. touch on the conduct of the Queen ; but he wished she had adhered to the first Answer to the Norwich Address, that she did not come to interfere with political matters. She had been ill advised but her statue had never been in the Liturgy, and therefore could never have been erased from it. Mr. Baosyse had, upon former occasions, fully explained. his sentiments oil the affair of the Queen. The right of pe titioning was the• Most valuable - that could•he enjoyed, but it should not be exercised oftener than was absolutely 'necessary. If this bad !wet) a motion for the restoration or insertion of her Majesty's namein the Liturgy, or putting her in posses sion of her rights tite. privileges, he would have given a silent vote in her favour; but; mixed up as these things were with other matters, he must protest against these Resolutions He felt still that no Grand Jury in England would have found a Bill against her Majesty, hot he would say that she had nut been acquitted of all blame in the opinion . of the people of this country. Though . there was no sufficient proof of, guilt, still there was but too much ground for suspicion. TavLoit and Mr. Ett'ttie also supported' the motion. Alderman WarrnstaN would not enter• at large on this subject. One Gentleman; who dealt in general terms, la mented the frequency of petitioning. This might be answered veil easily. The worthy Gentleman agreed in , the miscon duct of thosewho had brought forward all the charges against the Queen; but he could not agree to the Motion, because • no one had proved a right in tbe'Queen to the privileges usually attached to her rank. Every private Gentlewoman would have a remedy at law, if she was so treated by her husband. This had become a State question, whether the King's Ministers had a right to degrade the Queen ? The worthy Gentleman agreed. in all that had been urged ; hut be would not do any thing for her Majesty, ,though she was still degraded and: persecuted.. Had he. forgotten that 111 i• sisters were dealing out the public money'without the con sent of Parliament; and that they were employing secret tmissaries to degrade and vilify the Corporation, and the great bulk of the community? It was their duty -to be .constantly. at their pest, addressing the Crown, and petitioning Parliament; for that was the only . . Way in which they could sbew the fallacy of those Loyal Addresses • which his Majesty was told'were so generally expressive of the sentiments of the- People. .The Loyal Addressers were following the steps of the Abhorrers of petitioning. in the reign of Charles II.: The plain English of the casi., there fore, was, that • the tight of petitioning was invaluable; but it should never be need but in support of..the present Minis= tors Butin the reign of Charles 11. the House of Como mops itself expelled several of its -Members for supporting the Ab horrers, and .obstructing the. right of. petitioning. ,There were many instances in which the Corporation of . Loudon saved the State. The &it Noblemen and Land•owners in the latid beganaa'he alarmed for their property, but.not from . the People. -.Nothing, he believed, would base. pleased Mi nisters better than some tumult or disorder in. the country. This was the gatut Ministers were endeavouring' to play. • Were such nien aa the Russells and Whits, Whose ancestors diad.•sealed their coon' ry's,liberty with.,th.eir, blood, to be liranded :14 disaffe.cted by a parcel of. place-bunters. Thee Court should - never cease petitioning until a full and fair redress bad titecwohlained fur all abuaes.and gr ievanees. Mr. GRi f 6m-toms -Led the• Resolution. Mr. Shafig referred. to au Act ot EdWard VI; respecting the ordination of the Litany,,frem which he contended , that it, was an usteonstitotional act to-leave the Queen's tiame out of the Liturgy. Mr. 'V. Niv ILLTANis contended, tbat•the true donstroctioin pt tbe•Aet to which •t he -last speaker had refeited wou4dairove . that the -Queen'S name , had been legally excluded 'from the Litany. , The, ,wort by Sheriff had spohot of the importahee of the right 'of petition,. and of its early existence. • He had by aedident taken up a •certain tioult on, that , day, which .treatrd oh pie state of society at :that remote period; and there, he had found it represented, that certain noisy and boisterous individuals wrist about travelling • . from place to: place--(1-ao4hing, and hear, hear!)—toreitig- them ' selves into Corporations tool Societies—(Limd and by their tmisterous conduct destroying all deliberation and debate,--(Much •cheering.)—.tie wondered' ithe worthy Alderman Jrati not- stated .Ahis.

With respect to. the individuals •who were represented as creePing„into holes and corners, any ten of Ibeas had inure weight in the country than the whole cavalcade who attended the Queen to St. Pistil's: He opposed the Resolistion, and declared its real Object to be,to effee,t the removal of his Majesty's Miniaers tattier thau todoany SCr . virus to the Queen. . .

FOREIGN tATKRA ~ EGYPT.—We have. been furnished by some tra vellers who recently arrived from the Banks of the Nile, with the following information, respecting the new Canal of Alexandria., and two Expedi tions undertakes by the Pasla of Egypt The Canal of Alexandria begins at a short distance front Pompey's Pillar, and is terminated by the Nile, a little be low the tower of Saone ; its length is (44,70 r; toises). about 150 miles, its breadth about 100 feet, and depth 20 feet. 01. e hundred thousand men began it on the sth of Jarroary 1819 ; the number of workmen was increased to 260,000 at the end of February, each of whom was paid a Torliish piastre (ten pence) a day; in the month of May, 30,000 more labourer s arrived from Upper Egypt, and this great cans) was finished on the lath of September, and received the name of t h.. tllo7ldie. The little canal, which carries off the excess of water from the A ahmondie, and empties itself into the sea, was com pleted on the 10th of the following October ; it rims about eight miles, is' nearly 70 feet wide, and 17 deep. These canals, so beneficial to commerce, having been dog in low marshy grounds, between Lake Mandi 6, and Lake Marentis, the workmen were attacked by an epidemic which swept off nearly 4,600, and the wet weather in the months of Feb" roar) , and March, was fatal to about 2,300 more. Pensions and 'gratuities have been granted to the widows and orphans. Six foreign engineers superintended these works. • A second enterprize, less advantageous indeed but much more perilous, occupied in the winter a part of the army. A force of 6,000 cavalry, with a few pieces of artillery, was de cached to effect the conquest of Little Oasis, in which country the Temple of Jupiter Ammon is sitaated; the army ad vanced into the Desert, but they had scarcely paSsed . the Lybian mountains, when they had to contend against- the most terrible of enemies, the South Wind, or Kamsin.. This scourge was very destructive to the troops, but (he greatest mortality prevailed among the horses; provisions also failed, and the soldiers were obliged to live on dates. At length they arrived at Sevonah, the capital of Oasis, whose -inhabi tants had taken the precaution of seuding their must valu- able articles to a friendly tribe, about-nine days journey itt the Desert; the siege was immediately commenced, and the Ammonites were quickly compelled to submit to the terms imposed on them by their invaders.- After, a camp a ign of less than three months the. army returned to the banks of the Nile. Another Expedition was preparing and destined for the in vasion of that part of Abyssinia which has maintaine;lits in dependence, with a view of transplanting colonies of. hhs ' bantimen front thence to Lower Egypt whose population is insufficient for the cultivation of the soil. -An 'advanced guard, Consisting of 500 soldiers, had already taken its depar ture in the month of July, and it will be followed by 10,000 cavalry (now encamped round.
