If Deputy Corney proposed the consideration of some sanatory regulations for the City of London, founded up, n the admirable report of Mr. Chadwick—the atten tion of the members of the Court to which, he most earnestly recommended—he would most assuredly _join in carrying out so beneficial an object. - Mr. R. L. JONES said the proper 'anthorlii to enter upon such a topic was Parliament itSelf. pie wasranxious to see an amalgamation of the expenses - of. all the City parishes, so that all would be equally bene4o,4' It was notorious that the poor put forth all their strength and industry in rich parishes, and returned Othausted to look in their extremity for support in parishes abounding with people as indigent as themselves.—(Hear.) Mr. ASHURST declared that if he__thought a proposi tion such as had been brought forward were likely, in anymanner, to benefit the poor, he would support it with the greatest promptitude ; but he had always found that notices of the kind uniformly ended in imposing some restriction upon the poor.—(Hear, hear.) He did not, at the same time, mean to cast a doubt upon the motive of the proposer.—(Hear.) Now, in consequence of the severe restrictions in the country, a number of the rural inhabitants travelled into the more genial atmosphere of the metropolis. The City magistrates were electivenot a band of briefless barristers, but independent and gene rous men, who would deal with the poor as men— (Cheers) —and it was on account of that well-known character of the City of London magistrates, that those who had nothing but humanity to look to crowded the streets.—(Hear, hear.) Now he would ask the Court whether they were to interfere with such a feeling, and advise the Aldermen to substitute harshness for the kind ' 1 and benevolent conduct for which they were remarkable, although their conduct produced inconvenience ?-- (Cheers.) They knew the deplorable, the dreadful con dition of the poor ; but to do the people justice was the way to do them good, and justice was all they wanted. Sir PETER LAURIE said that if the subject was re ferred to a Committee a great deal of information would be most undoubtedly received. The Committee would be told what ke knew to be fact, that crowds of paupers were every day smashing the windows of the Mansion house for the purpose of obtaining the asylum of a prison, and why did they wish to be locked up in prison? Because they preferred prisons to the unions established by the new poor-law.—(Hear.) They could not be pre vailed upon to accept the refuge of the unions, bet they brol:e windows and tore their poor-house clothes to pieces in order to be punished with the less disagree able alternative of a gaol. He considered that the house of nightly shelter in the City contributed in no slight degree to increase the influx of mendicants, who came and went away, and re turned again and again, thus introducing, as it were, a new condition of pauperism from which there appeared to be no redemption. Now, if through a Committee punishment could be male a consequence of such repeti tion, some advantage might be expected to this commu nity.

The Earl of HADDINGTON, in acknowledging the toast, said that during the earlier struggles of the Company in India the British navy had been of essential service in strengthening their power, and afterwards, when their power became confirmed, in extending their influence in other parts of Asia.

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid thewhole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 21. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001.; would be required to pay 11. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance Society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for the payment of the same at the expiration of five years. All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy holders who shall have paid five Annual Premiums.

Thus— Parties assuring the lives of others may make their policies secure, notwithstanding the life assured may go out of the limits of Europe, without the necessary permission of the Directors having been pre viously obtained. Credit of half the premiums for the first five years allowed on po licies effected for the whole term of life. On policies of five years' standing, half the amount paid, after the first year's premium, may be borrowed thereon by the Assured. Advances are also made to Assurers on real or undoubted personal security, for terms of years, repayable by instalments.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS. " I am highly satisfied with your Gold and Lacquer Detergents. I hope to recommend them to some of my friends, as they answer so well, especially the Gold Detergent."—From the Right Hon. C. D'Eyn court, M.P. " We first tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass frame that had been a few years gilt. It removeil the whole of the fly spots, the dust, and stains, and the frame has now the appearance and bril liancy of the day it left the workman's hands. Next on two very old frames—from their colour we were almost in doubt whether they were gilded or not. The Detergent soon convinced us of the fact, by removing the accumulated stains and tarnish of many years ; these frames have now the appearance of being nearly new."—Liverpool Chronicle, Jan. 27, 1844. " We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture frames, and must confess we were very agreeably surprised at the result for it restores the splendour of gilding with very little trouble. A single bottle is more than sufficient for all the picture and looking glass frames in a moderate-sized house."—Vide Nottingham Review, April 5, 1844.

Wednesday the Directors of the East India Company enter tained Sir Henry Hardinge, the Governor-General of India. and other distinguished guests at the London Tavern. The preparations were on a very splendid scale. The tables were covered with gold plate, and when the room was lit up by hundreds of waxlights, the uniforms of the military officers present, and the stars and decorations of the chief guests, together with the gay drosses of the ladies in the gallery, helped to render the scene very brilliant and animated. The Coldstr'eam 'band was in attendance, and played favourite music - during the evening, but there were no vocalists The following are the names of the principal persons pre sent, in addition to the Chairman (Mr. Shepherd), and the Deputy Chairman (Sir H. Willett) :—Sir Henry Itardinge, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Buckingham, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl of Jersey, Sir R. Peel, the Earl of Haddington, Lord Stanley, the Marquis Camden, the Earl of Lincoln, Earl Delawarr, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord G. Somerset, Lord Combermere, the Lord Mayor, Mr. Astell, Mr. Goulburn, Sir James Gra ham, Sir George Murray, Sir Edward Knatchbull, Mr. Gladstone, Sir Frederick Pollock, the Solicitor-General, Sir T. Fremantle, Mr. E. Tennent, Sir J. M'Donald, Sir R. Camp bell, Mr. S. Herbert, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. J. W. Croker, Mr. E. Ellice, the Judge-Advocate, Sir K. Bruce, Sir J. Barrow, Sir It. Houston, Sir J. Smith, Lord G. Somerset, Lord Jocelyn, Lord Eliot, Lord E. Bruce, the Eon. Mr. Corry, Dr. Lushington, Sir R. Inglis, Lord Canning, Mr. Holt Mackenzie, &c. At seven o'clock the company sat down to dinner, which was provided in a style reflecting the highest credit on Messrs. Bache and Breache, the proprietors of the tavern. Sir Henry Hardinge sat on the right of the Chairman, and on his left the Deputy Chairman. Next him sat the Lord -Mayor. The Duke of Wellington sat . on the , ril,eht of Sir Henry Hardinge, and the Duke of Buceleuch on the left of the Lord Mayor. As soon as dinner was over, and grace had been said, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of her Majesty the Queen." It was drunk with three times three. He then proposed " The Queen Dowager," which toast was also drunk with appropriate demonstrations of respect. The CHAIRMAN said the next health he would propose was that of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. His attachment to the Queen was alone enough to excite a lively interest in him and in his welfare on the part of her Majesty's subjects, but he had also endeared himself to the nation by his emi nent qualities, and his admirable public conduct. He pro posed ," His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." The toast having been duly responded to, The CHAIRMAN then said he now rose to propose the health of a distinguished guest, whose appointment to the Governor-Generalship of India they were met there to cele brate.--(Hear.) The public services of Sir H. Hardinge were so well known that all would feel it was unnecessary for him to enlarge on them.—(Hear.) Most of them would remember, and all had heard or read of the glorious struggle in which the British arms were engaged in the Pe ninsula and in France—a struggle which had eventuated in such brilliant and substantial results ; they had all heard of the war which was so successfully terminated under the leadership of the greatest warrior of the age.—(Hear, hear.) Through the whole of that war Sir Henry Hardinge bore a prominent and distinguished part—on some of the brightest pages of the history of that war the name of Sir Henry Har dinge was incribed.—(Hear.) There were, however, other services besides those which led to high military reputation in which a man might discharge his duty to his country, and in those services also Sir H. Hardinge had been distinguished. His service to his country did not end with his service in the field. The years of peace with which Europe had been blessed since the battle of Waterloo had afforded that Right Hon. and Gallant Gentleman an opportunity of renewing his claims on his country, by his services in the civil government and administration of the State.—(Hear, hear.) He was called to fill successively high and important situations under the Government, and in times of difficulty and trial he had never been found wanting.—(Hear, hear.) In thus adding to the reputation he had acquired as a soldier the distinction to be acquired by great talents as a Minister and statesman, he had fully merited and received the approbation of his Sove reign and his country.—(Cheers.) Such was the man who he (the Chairman) was proud to say was now about to pro ceed to India, to exercise the high and important duties of Governor-General. It must be most gratifying to him and to his friends that, without any previous concert between her Majesty's Government and the Court of Directors, the name of Sir Henry Hardinge had occurred to both as that of the fittest person to be appointed to the office of Governor- General.---4 Hems hear.) But it must be still more gratifying to the Right Hon. Gentleman, , and to all who were connected with his appointment, that it seemed to have excited an unanimous feeling of satisfaction throughout the country. — (Hear, hear.) Hence the Right Hon. Gentleman, in going to India, would bear with him the confidence of her Majesty's Ministers, of the Directors, And of the public generally. lie owed his appointment to the reputation he had established for himself, and he (the Chairman) was quite sure that here after in India his high character would be nobly sustained. He had that day had the pleasure of informing the Riat Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, on his being sworn into office of Governor-General, that the Directors reposed the utmost confidence in his judgment, and were prepared to af ford him their most cordial support,—that he had been selected not less because of their conviction that he possessed a firm, undaunted spirit, than because he was also endowed with a just, a generous, and a benevolent heart.—(Cheers.) They felt persuaded that while he would ever be ready to maintain the supremacy of power, he would also take a de light in..furthering the happiness of, the . people of India.— (Hear.) It was the earnest desire 'of the. Directors, and he was sure every one would join with them in it, that his Right Hon. and Gallant Friend, after a long course of successful service in India, might, under Divine Providence, return to his native country, bearing with him the thanks and blessings of the people of India.—(Cheers.) With these observations he begged to propose to them " The Health of Sir Henry Hardinge, the Governor- General of India." The toast was received with loud applause, and drunk with three times three. Sir H. HARDINGE rose and said—Mr. Chairman, my Lord Duke, and Gentlemen,—ln acknowledging the comph ment you have just paid me, I will at since say that I am deeply impressed with the importance of the trust that has been confided to me, and I beg to offer to you, Sir, as the Chairman of the Court of Directors, and to the other mem bers of that Court, my most grateful acknowledgments for your having considered me worthy of so high a trust as that of the Governor-Generalship of India. The assurance which we have just heard from the Chairman, that my appoint ment was unanimously approved of by the Court, and that I should receive the cordial support of the Directors, is most gratifying to me, not on account of any private feeling merely of personal satisfaction, but because it will enable m e to perform any public duty in India with more weight and authority, when it is known that I carry with me the support of the Court of Directors--men well versed in Indian affairs—and the confidence of my late colleagues, and, above all, that my appointment has received the confirmation and sanction of her Majesty's high authority.—(Hear, hear.) These considerations, however, of favour and confidence do not mislead me. I am fully aware of the difficulties of the undertaking. I can scarcely hope to fulfil all that I desire to accomplish ; but I know also that 1 shall receive the assistance of able men in the civil service of the East India Company—(Hear, hear)—that I shall be guided by the expe rience and local knowledge of the Court of Directors—( Hear, hear)—and the Noble Earl who occupies the station of Chief Commissioner for the Affairs of India is at the head of the Board of Control ; and I believe, also, I shall have another advantage, which to me will be of an incalculable nature, — that of being able unreservedly to refer to my illustrious friend and commander, the Duke of Wellington- - (Cheers-) When the communication was first made to me by my Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government, and the proposal was made by the Directors that I should undertake the office, my first inquiry was, " What is the opinion of the Duke of Wellington ?" I was informed that he approved of my being selected, and then, I candidly confess; I did begin to entertain some hope that the expectations of the Directors and of my Right Hon. Friend would not be entirely disap pointed. For, gentlemen, the greater portion of my public life has been passed under t.heeye and instruction of my illus trious commander, the Duke of Wellington.—(Hear.) I had the honour, as the Chairman has stated, of passing under him through the whole Peninsular war, and on the termination of the peace I had the honour to be selected to conduct the civil department of the Ordnance in the House of Commons, of being appointed Secretary at War, and after that Chief Secretary for Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) I only mention these things to show that I am well aware of the value of such an instructor, and how much I owe to such a master. Under his counsel and advice I hope to be able to carry out any arrangements that may be necessary for the support of our great and gallant Indian army. I hope also to be able to promote the advantage of my own country, and to amelio rate the condition of the Indian population.—( Hear.) It is true that a large portion of my life has been spent in military avocations, but I think that I have been able to afford some guarantee that my own propensities are not warlike. On the contrary, I think I shall be a lover of peace. I may, per haps, venture to say, that I have known the miseries and the risks of war. l cannot say I have known its vicissitudes, because under that illustrious commander our armies never knew what vicissitudes were.—(Cheers.) Having made these declarations, allow me to say, that I rejoice in the opportu nity of turning my attention to the great and gallant army in the service of the East India Company—(Hear) —the army of native and European troops united—(Hear)—for between them there was no rivalry than a competition who should best perform the services of the State. I will venture to say, with reference to that army, that if it Should be necessary for me to make any arrangements with respect to that army, I shall refer for advice to one who will, be admitted by all to be the best qualified to afford it. Could I refer to a better man than the conqaeror of Assaye—to him who so often led that army to victory, and laid the foundation of the enor mous sway we exercise in India ? — (Cheers.) Let me add, that the success of that army, under Pollock, and Gough, and others, has shown that it has by no means degenerated from its former fame. In everything that regards that army I shall always take the deepest interest ; but let its efficiency be what it may, and however brilliant its recent successes may have been, I hope that the result of those successes will be that which should always be the legitimate conse quence of war—a long, lasting, and durable peace ; and that the people of India will derive from those wars all the bless ings of peace, in the a melioration of their:condition, their im provement, their education —in short, in all those advantages which constitute the happiness and secure the prosperity of a nation.—(Hear.) These, Sir, are the objects to which I shall turn my attention, and I hope I shall be able to show that I am as anxious as the people of this country can be that the blessings of peace shall follow the successes of war— that, great as the distance may be between this country ai. our Indian possessions, we are united in one common interest —that those peace f u l pursuits should b e encourage d among the people of India whic h are nece ssary, in order to secure their lasting prosperity and happiness.--(Hear.) Peace and commerce are already restored with China, and a long con-. tinned tranquillity prevails in almost every part of India, except in the case of those internal dissensions in the Punjaub, with regard to which every possible pre caution has been taken.—(Hear, hear.) I go out, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence in the Indian army, that it will maintain the national honour, and also with a full belief that the sway of Great Britain will be 'maintained over the intelligent, cheerftil, and lild4strWus Mr. Chairman, as you have done me the honoir to drink my health, and to join my name with that of the British army, I feel under the necessity of requesting your attention for a few moments while I express my honest and sincere thanks for the honour you have done me, and to this company for the manner in which they have received the toast.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I entertain no doubt that the army will receive with the utmost satisfaction and gratitude the information that their services have been thus honoured by you.—(Hoar.) Gentlemen, the history of the transactions of the British nation in India affords many instances of the good conduct and valour of the army, but I will venture to say that that history records no instances of such conduct which surpaT4es4 those which have been afrorded within the last few years by that same army.—(Hear.) I speak in the presence of some who have been employed in that army, and who will in all probability return to serve with it again. I beg then when they do so not to forget the expressions of the Chairman this night as to the conduct of the army, and also to bear in mind, if they will, my own declaration, that there is not in the his tory of our transactions in India any instance of conduct more deserving of approbation than what has been afforded by our army in India up to the moment of the very latest accounts received from India.—( Hear, hear.) But we have not met here to-day to talk of by-gone transactions, although I am very grateful to you for the honour you have done me in mentioning the service which I had the honour of render ing to the East India Company when I was in India in the prime of my life.—(Hear.) We have met here to congratu late my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend en his appointment to be Governor-General of India.—(Hear.) Sir, you have briefly stated that my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend has been notorious, not only for his military services— ibr his gallantry, talents, experience, and conduct in the ield, in the exercise of his profession, but also for his talents and conduct in the administration of civil affairs—for his conduct in several important appointments of the state, and for his conduct in Parliament and in her Majesty's councils. I cannot avoid congratulating the Directors on the selection they have made of my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend as Governor-General of India, and especially that her Majesty has been pleased to confirm and approve the appointment, and that my Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Govern . ment has considered himself at liberty to accept it. Sir, I feel a confidence that my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend will fulfil to the satisfaction of all parties, the great duties which are imposed on him by that appointment—that he will administer the government of the country which is placed under his charge for the advantage, benefit, and happiness of the people thereof, to the satisfaction of his employers, the East India Company, of his Sovereign, and of her servants, and of the whole British public.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I again congratulate you that the Court of Directors have made such a selection as my Right Hon. Friend.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the next toast. He said, although the East India Company disclaimed all party considerations, and entertained, as a body no political views except with reference to the interests of the great Indian empire, yet they felt deeply sensible of the advantage of having in her Majesty's Ministers men pre-eminent for un doubted and unbounded patriotism, and who possessed the confidence of the country.—(Hear, hear.) He would also add, that the East India Company had great reason to be grateful to the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Go vernment for the cord co=operation he had afforded them in the selection of Sir Henry Ilairdinge to be the Governor- General of India. Her Majesty's Government could not in a more efficient manner have exhibited the great interest and anxiety they felt for the welfare of India.— (Hear, hear.) Her Majesty's Ministers and the Directors, had but one great united object in view—the good government of that vast empire on the principle of justice and modera tion, and of extending the influence of British feeling and sympathies among the people of that country. To ameli orate the condition of those people was the great object of both. They had, however, the honour of the presence among them of Sir R. Peel, a gentleman who, in his (the Chairman's) opinion, had shown a noble example to his oountrymen. In early life distinguished by high attainments and elegant 'scholarship, his manhood had been spent with advantage to his country in her service, and now he was for the second time at the head of her Majesty's councils.—(Cheers.) He had great pleasure in drinking "The health of Sir R. Peel and the rest of her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheers.) Sir R. PEEL (who was labouring under severe hoarseness) said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, on my own behalf and on that of my colleagues , I beg to return you our united thanks for the honour you have conferred upon us. Gentle men, however great may be the pressure on our attention of other interests nearer home, we are not the less deeply im pressed with the magnitude of thosei nterests which are com prehended in our relations with our Indian empire. We feel the extent and importance of those interests in a political, a Commercial, and a moral point of view. In a political point of view, because this country could never tolerate the seve rence of an empire gained by such military exertions as the battles of Plassy and Assaye, and the recent triumphs of our arms in the East. In a commercial point of view we feel the importance of that empire, because, seeing the extent of the competition to which our commerce is exposed, and"the jea lousy there is on the part of other nations of our commercial and manufacturing pre-eminence, it is of the utmost im portance to cultivate commercial relations with India, which can only succeed by means of a reciprocity of advantages and the maintenance of the prosperity of India itself. In a moral point of view the empire of India is of importancs, because there are moral influences independent of military power and commercial prosperity, which enable a country to hold high language among the nations of the world, and nothing that we could say would conduce so much to that moral influence as to be able to exhibit the example of a beneficent rule over millions of our fellow-creatures in the East enjoying the blessings of trade, of the emancipation from a state of slavery, and guaranteed the possession of life and liberty, by establishing civil liberty on a sure founda tion, and receiving-perhaps an ultimate extension of it, not by_ vexatious interferences with the religion of the natives— (Hear)—but by exhibiting to them the advantages of a mild, beneficent rule, founded on the great principles of the Chris tian religion.—(Hear.) Yet in the administration the complicated affairs of a great empire, it cannot be expected that there should not occasionally be an honest difference of opinion. among those intrusted with that administration; but I trust that those differences, when they unfortunately do exist, will never make us forget the responsibility which de volves on all the authorities connected with the administra tion of India, and that they will never make us unmindful of the important interests connected with the future for tunes of that country.—(Hear.) I consider that her Ma jesty's servants have recently given you the strongest proof we can give of the deep interest we feel in the wel fare of India, and of our anxiety to promote it. For the advancement of the interests of that country we have con sented to sever our connexion with a colleague who was entitled to our entire confidence, and who possesses our esteem and regard as a private friend. We have consented to appoint to the government of that country a colleague, who, as a soldier, has his name connected with Corunna, Albuera, and with the whole Peninsular war, and closed his military career on the plains of Waterloo. We have con sented to part with a colleague who, in the administration of civil affairs, exhibited a rare combination of temper, firm ness, resolution, and moral courage.—(Hear, hear.) We have made this sacrifice in the belief that no other man would be better qualified for the great task he has under taken—(Hear, hear)—and, on the part of my colleagues and myself, I join in that earnest and sincere prayer of the Chair man to-night, that, under the blessings of Divine Providence, he may, after having performed his full service in India, return to his native land, having added to the fame he has already acquired, and able to enjoy the retrospect of having maintained peace in India, consolidated its connexion with this country—of having promoted the interests and happiness of the millions who live under our rule—that he may return to justify that confidence of the Crown, the servants of the Crown and the East India Company, and that many of us may live to see the day when we shall hail with delight and satisfaction his return to this country, after a prosperous and successful tenure of office.(Loud cheers.) The CHArRMAN then gave "The Earl of Ripon" (who was absent from ill-health). The Duke of BUCCLEUCH acknowledged the toast In the absence of the Noble Earl, and proposed the health of the "Chairman and Deputy-Chairman." The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in a brief but appropriate speech, and gave the "Legal Institutions of the Country and the Vice-Chancellor." The VICE-CHANCELLOR acknowledged the toast.

SAVINGS BANKS.—Wednesday, on the motion of Mr. Masterman, a statement was issued of the amount of the separate surplus fund, not bearing interest, belonging to the trustees of saving' banks, in the hands of the Commissioners for the reduction of the national debt up to the 9th of May last. It appears that the separate surplus fund of Great Bri tain amountel, at the period mentioned, to 321,4681. 13s. 2d., and of Ireland, 11,3281 14s. 4d. ; making a total of 332,797/, 7s. 6d. not bearing interest. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of a great deal of public business. CONTINUATION OF NEW FARRINGDON-STREET. Mr. R. L. JONES, the Chairman of the London-bridge Approaches Committee, brought up a report " For sealing a, bond to the Chamberlain for the advance of 25,0001. by the Bank, being the amount authorised by Act sth and 6th of her present Majesty, and paid to the Commis sioners for continuing the street from New Farringdon street to Clerkenwell-green." It stated that the Remem brancer having received a communication from the Soli citors of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, stat ing that the Lords of the Treasury had given their con sent that the sum of 25,000/. should be raised by the Court. to be paid to the Commissioners appointed by the 3d and 4th Vic., c. 112, for opening a street to Clerken well-green, to be applied by them towards the expense of making and completing the said street, the Committee proceeded to ascertain upon what terms the Governor and Company of the Bank of England were willing to advance that sum ; that they had agreed to ad vance it at the rate of 31. 10s. per cent. per annum, which rate of interest had been approved by the Commissioners of the Treasury, and their Lordships had issued a warrant directed to the Court, authorisin the Court to raise that sum, and directing that it should be paid to the Commissioners. That the sum of 25,0001. and interest were to be charged upon the improvement fund next in priority to the sum of 40.0001. raised by the Court, and charged upon the said fund for the pur chase of the block of buildings between the Bank of England and Cornhill; they had much satisfaction in anticipating the speedy conclusion of that important improvement of making a spacious avenue from Black friar's-bridge to Clerkenwell-green, which the Court had commenced, and carried into effect so far as the juris diction of the City of London extended ; and that the Committee had given directions to the Comptrollers to prepare a bond for the sum of, 25,0001. for these pur poses. and recommended that the City seal should be affixed thereto.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The report was unanimously agreed to, and the bond was accordingly sealed. THE LAND-TAX. The report on the reference relative to petitioning Parliament in respect of the land-tax, was brought up. It stated that the Committee considered it inexpedient to petition Parliament on the subject at the present time. Several of the members opposed the report, and re commended that Parliament should be forthwith applied to on the subject ; but ultimately the report was agreed to. THE VAGRANT POOR OF THE METROPOLIS. The discussion upon the motion of Deputy Corney, " That it be referred to the Parliamentary Committee to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an Act to better the moral and physical condition of the vagrant population of this metropolis, and report their opinion forthwith to the Court," was resumed. The following is an abstract of the whole discussion : Deputy CORNEY said it was unnecessary for him to tell the members of the Court, that the street beggars formed a most intolerable nuisance in the streets of the metropolis. In the City, the difficulty felt by the au thorities was, in what manner to relieve one locality without burdening another. The existing law provided no remedy nor mitigation of the evil, and the ward of Broad-street, to which he belonged, unfortunately sup plied him with a very painful experience upon the sub ject, as it happened to be infested more than any other quarter of the City by those who traded in mendacity. The City Magistrates in adjudicating on the cases brought before them, generally punished the offence with fourteen days' imprisonment, or discharged the offender upon promise not to ply in his vocation within the City. Persons brought up in habits of what might be called the industrious idleness of begging, were not to be removed so easily from the extensive district in which they had all their lives found a home and support. Ile had traced families regularly trained up for thirty years in the art, and most diligently bringing up their children in the same occupation, by the most inde fatigable manceuvring. Habits so inveterate, and recom mended by parental example, were not to be altered by any process which the present poor-law provided or sanctioned.—(Hear, hear.) He recollected that Sir Matthew Wood had, in his anxious and commendable desire to relieve his fellow-citizens ; made an experiment, but failed. It was to be hoped, that as a revision of the Poor-law Bill was intended very soon to be made, the Government would get a clause introduced to meet the evil by which particular localities were overwhelmed. Formerly the poor obtained relief through the instrumentality of the monasteries which had long since been absorbed by noble families, such as the houses of Bedford, Cavendish, and Tavistock, with out producing any good, as a substitute for the charity which was in days of old dispersed, except the getting up of a few Liberal Members of Parliament —(Laugh ter.) Now the poor crowded into the City, and exer cised in some instances importunities, in others threats, to obtain that which they had never attempted to earn. It was not his intention to presume to suggest any defi nite plan. He should leave that to the wisdom of Par liament, but he felt convinced that something could be devised by which, as was expressed in the terms of his motion, the moral and physical condition of the labour ing population would be improved. Mr. Corney con cluded by reading his !notion. Mr. lIEPPEL seconded the motion, but he wished that the Deputy who introduced it had given some outline of a plan for accomplishing the very desirable object be wished to attain. lie believed that in the new poor-law there was not any provision made to throw upon the unions generally the cases which were at present con fined to one.—(Hear, hear.) He believed, however, that it was the intention of Sir James Graham to cause the expenses of the maintenance of the poor to fall upon the unions generally. Mr. KING said it was quite evident that the objects of the mover and seconder were quite different—that of the one being to improve the moral and physical condi tion of the poor; while that of the other was to divide the expense of maintaining them, without reference to their moral or physical condition at all.—(Laughter). He considered it to be his duty to move the previous question, for he regarded the proposition of the mover as a most monstrous one. It was, in fact, nothing at all, or worse than nothing, and the Corporation would certainly be laughed at for going to Parliament for such a purpose. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR supported the motion. What, he asked, would be more worthy of a reference to a Committee than such a question? Was it not an appeal made for charitable purposes, and cal culated to alleviate existing distress?—(Hear, hear.) Lord Ranelagh had said that nine-tenths of the vagrants of the metropolis did not belong to the metropolis, but that they came from the rural districts.—(Hear, hear.) They came by fifties and hundreds from the neighbour hoods of the estates of the Duke of Buckingham and the Duke of Richmond, and other noblemen, who derived benefit from the destruction of the monasteries to which Deputy Corney had alluded.—(Laughter.) They poured in upon the City from the country, and the laws were rendered futile by the operation of the measures which were so strongly deprecated by the people. What destroyed the efficacy of the poor-law ? The corn-law. —(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and " No, no.") The exclusion of foreign corn deprived the people of food, and thronged the streets of the metropolis with rural beggars. He had read with horror the observations of of a Chairman at a quarter sessions, as to the incen diary fires which, going on from night to night, showed the miserable condition of the population, who, hav ing no other means of manifesting their condition, adopted that dreadful course. That appeared on the charge to the grand jury. The Times spoke of great facts. He called the prevalence of incendiary fires a great fact. It was horrible to think that the people should resort to such secret and dreadful means to show what their real condition was, but so it was—(Hear, hear, and murmurs)—while these things were known of the agricultural population, and while it was known that the employment Oren by the farmer to the labourer was so precarious that the latter was discharged when the weather proved inauspicious, what was to be expected ? What was the Parliament doing at the present moment? Why, endeavouring to plunder than of all the common lands by an Inclosure Bill. It was pretended that com pensation was to be given for the loss , but compensation given to the present poor who ha d onl y a life interest in the benefit would leave the suc ceedin g generation strip ped of all advantages.—(Hear, hear.) As well might the members of that Cou rt take off the money from the Chamberlain's-office. No greater robbery could, in fact, be committed, and it was going on ever since his birth. (Cries of "Hear, hear, and murmurs.") They had seen the people getting worse and worse, as they got rid of their commons. The poor could, formerly, do a day 's work in procuring fuel, but now every bit of ground wa s taken away, and the poor man's cow or horse, if caught grazing on the road-side, was shut up in pound. To expect a system of morals from such a plan was monstrous. There was much talk about education, but the more education the poor received, the more palpable would the injustice with which they were treated appear to them. The Christian religion never taught the people to put up with starvation.—(Hear.) Mr. W. W LAWRENCE supported the amendment. Ho could not understand what the mover of the resolution meant by the moral condition of the poor; and as for their physical condition, which was, indeed, bad enough, the worthy Deputy had not suggested anything like a remedy. The guardians of the poor were the persons who would most properly appeal to Parliament, for they were armed with facts; and now that the Act was about to undergo some change, they might apply with advan tage, but that Court could do nothing in the matter. Mr. Rug. said the allusion to the Inclosure Bill re minded him of what a lady said about a robbery which took place in the country. "Oh dear !" said she, " what brutes they must have been to steal away the geese from the common!" Now all he had to do to ex press his sentiments on the subject was, " Oh dear! what brutes must they be who want to steal away the common from the geese!" Mr. ANDERTON said it was quite obvious to him that if corn was ever so plentiful there would be abundance question, and agreed with Mr. I2awrence that it was quite impossible fur the Court to deal with a question which belonged not to the Corporation, but to the pub lic at large.—(Hear, hear.) The great nuisance in this city was the nightly refuge to which the idle and the in digent crowded from all parts of the country, and to re sort to which they were recommended by the authorities in the various districts from which they came. Thither came also the masses of Irish paupers, who wanted to be removed to their home, and continued to become chargeable in order to accomplish that object. The very mention of nightly shelter in the City of London congregated immense multitudes, and daily exhibitions were now made of the result. The members of the Court ought to have seen, as he had seen on the preceding day, ten vagrant females at the Mansion-house convicted of the most rebellious conduct. These women did not come from any precise locality, but got together in a union from a variety of places. It was, in tact, impos sible to isolate London from the rest of the metropolis, in the endeavour to obtain a remedy for an evil which spread far and wide over the whole of London.—(Hear, hear.) The average of those who came for relief were not of the industrious, but of the idle and dissolute classes. How then were the physical ills of such masses to be remedied ? It must be only by some general measure.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PEWTRESS spoke in favour of the motion of Mr. Corney: He was, he said, sure that the Court would allow there was an overwhelming mass of poverty. The newspapers teemed with deplorable evidences of the fact, and showed that the City was afflicted with the evil to such a dreadful extent as must afflict every person of ordinary humanity.—(Hear, hear.) Now, he believed there was no evil for which a remedy could not be found ; and, as a matter of course, he thought the evil of which complaint had been so strongly made was capable of being removed. The New Poor-law had been some time ago framed to meet the existing evil, and in that law it was stated that relief was to he afforded to those in necessity without examination or question of any kind previously to the administering of relief. If that had been carried out in spirit, all the poverty, which now appeared to be overwhelming, would have been re lieved ; but let the Court look at the application of the law: There was no penalty consequent upon the refusal of the officers to administer immediate assistance, and the law was actually not operative in that respect without some tremendous process. In numerous union, lo the country the relief admis,;ete.ked was desperately econo mical, and the rules were so stringent, that the poo l . were required to work a certain number of le - Ars before they received any food, and a certain n-,,,b er of hours after. Here was a cruel and d'Agusting violation of the law.—(Hear, hear.) Person:, convicted of crime were enti.led to have two hot meals a day with out working for each supply. while those selio had com mitted no offence were denied a morsel of bread until they performed the task allotted to them by the men by whom relief ought to be admiaistere3 without in quiry or question of any kind.—.(Hear, hear.) Was it not degrading to the poor to deny them so large an amount of food as was willingly granted to those who came under the other denomination?—(Hear, hear.) He was sure the evil was capable of a remedy ; but it was necessary that all the unions should co-operate in carrying out the law. There was another evil connected, with the administration of the law. The magistrates were guardians of the poor, so that they were placed in a double capacity, which rendered their acts as g' Jar diens liable to be appealed against to themselves as magistrates.—(Hear, hear.) But the paramout e'eil was want of employment. That was the grec,6 cause of the prevalent distress; but that could also 'oe, in his opinion, remedied.—(Cries of" Free trade," foil laughter.) He regretted to utter his suspicion, that the wealthy would rather pay enormous rates than yield to the poor the power of relieving themselves from the mise ries which surrounded them. He honed the motion of Mr. Corney would be agreed to, ho would pledge himself to state before the Colmni',tee such matters as would probably lead to an application for certain amend ments in the law. Mr. RICIIARD WILLIAMS advocated the proposition of Deputy Corney, to whom, he said, great credit was due for having introduced to the Court the subject of so monstrous an evil as that with which the population of London were beset. He lamented the defective state e i f the law which permitted the existence of such a con'ai tion of things as had been just represented, and sug gested that a power should be given in the amenried Act to inflict punishment upon those vagrants who, having been once passed to their settlements, should return as mendicants to the metropolis. He at the same time could not help expressing his dissent from the opinions of those who spoke in general condemnation of the poor for not finding employment.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. H. HALL was for the previous question, and contended that the Corporation of London had nothing to do with the que: tion. As to the extent of poverty, they all agreed on that subject, and they all knew tl'„ t , y t prisoner lived better than a pauper, and a paupe- . . lived better than an industrous working man.—(Hea - ,. , hear.) After some observations from other metnbc 4s, Deputy CORNEY replied, and the amenC l a ient was car ried by a large majority.—Adjourned. MEETING OF THE NATIONAL r .Senoor.

A meeting of the members of this Society was held on Wednesday at the office, Parliament-street, the subject of discussion being the Bank Charter Resolutions of Sir R. Peel, continued from last week. Mr. Spottiswood presided. The attendance was very thin, in consequence probably of the at tractions of the '• Derby." The CHAIRMAN opened the business by referring to the dissection of the plan of Sir R. Peel made in a " Letter to the Premier," just published, which, he said, did not leave the Right Hon. Baronet a leg to stand upon. He then pro ceeded to state the effects of the Bank Restriction Act of Mr. Pitt, which was now called a " fatal measure," but which enabled the country to go through a long war, and pay off some millions of its debt, and give employment to the people. But all this was now considered a " fatal" state of things. They were now returning to the state of things that existed before the Bank Restriction Act, and which this measure of Mr. Pitt was intended to remedy. The evident object of Sir R. Peel was to make money dear and labour cheap. He would re duce prices, profits, and wages to the Continental level. The question was, whether the country should sit down quietly under it? Could it do so? Suffering and discontent were extending among the labouring classes to a fearful extent; they read of continual fires, the work of incendiaries; but their system had created this feeling. Lord MOUNTCASHEL suggested that some step might be taken to assemble a number of Members of the House of Commons, for the purpose of discussing and coming to some agreement on the question. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, M.P., thought it would be imprac ticable; there was a general impression among the Mem bers that it was too late. Lord MOUNTCASEIEL thought that a pamphlet explaining the operation of this pan on the landowners would be of much utility. The Noble Lord stated his conviction that the plan would raise the price of money, lower the rate of wages, and impoverish the whole of the community. Mr. SCHOHEFIELD said its decided tendency was to make the rich richer and the poor poorer; that appeared to be Sir Robert Peel's policy. Mr. PErry said that relief might be obtained by taxing gold, or the gold currency, so as to bring it level with the price of taxed commodities. They had, in fact, a taxed currency during the war, and it was an error to suppose that it was a depreciated currency ; it was equalised with the prices of the goods for which it was exchanged. A long conversational discussion followed, on various points of the subject, and some steps having been suggested for calling the attention of the House of Lords to the ques tion, the meeting broke up. le !
