We learn from our Indian correspondence that it has been resolved to recommend the creation of a fourth Presidency for the better administration of our eastern dominions. The new Government is to b 3 styled the Government of Lahore, and, if we may judge by the specifications of a project which must still be rudimentary, it will greatly exceed the ancient territorial departments in magnitude and splerniour. Its base, if we may so speak, is to be constituted by the spacious province of the Punjaub, to which, on the east, it will annex the broad districts of Agra and Bengal, up to the banks of the Sone ' embracing the populous and important cities of Allahabed and Be pares. To the south-west it will include our anoma lous appanage of Sinde, and will thus extend itself from the Hindoo Eloosh to the mouths of the Indus, and from the mountains of Biloo chisten to the plains of the Ganges. Nor will its dignity be disproportioned to its dimensions, for the prescriptions of a century are at length to be de mashed, and the supremacy of India is to be for mally transferred from the residence of Clive and Hastings to the capital of the Sikhs. At the latter of these cities, or at Umballah, will be stationed a subor dinate administration, and a Lieutenant-Governor will superintend from the deserted palaces of Calcutta the immediate interests of Lower Bengal. The su preme Government and Council of India, under the Governor-General in person, is to be permanently established at Simlab, from which agreeable retreat the affairs of our Eastern Empire will be henceforth directed. Though the proposed change involves no more than a redistribution of territory already acquired, it is probable that few readers acquainted with the subject will hear without a certain emotion of so sweeping a project. Even those not immediately conversant with Indian affairs will be startled at a suggestion for transferring the central seat of British Government to a capital city some 1,200 miles from the mouth of the Hooglily, and which within three short years was the metropolis of our most distant and most determined foes. - If it was denied hozirdous to annex the Pun jaub, what is likely to be thought of selecting it as the residence of supreme power ? Whet will be said by those writers who worried us against crossing the Sutlej of our final domestication in the heart of those very territories which were described as so barbarous, remote, and inaccessible ? We are carrying ourselves bodily to encounter our proverbial perils. We are placing ourselves in immediate contiguity with the treacherous and turbulent chieftains of Affghanistan, and, if the argument has any weight, we are ac tually marching a thousand miles in the direction of Russian advances. Herat will now actually be nearer to us than Calcutta; and Herat within these last few months bee really been besieged again. To the omens which might thus be not unnaturally suggested, a few substantial arguments can be stated in reply. In the first place, although in effecting this mOVement we should he retiring from Calcutta, we should not be retiring from England. The mighty revolutions cf trallic generated by the employment of steam have already worked their irresistible will abroad as well as at home, and have left the City of Palaces stranded and forlorn. Bombay is now the point of contact between England and India, and as the system of overland communication becomes gra dually perfected under Mr. Stephenson's auspices, the terreieus of the commercial track will advance still nearer to the plains of the Punjaub. It is Calcutta, not Lahore, which will be the remote station of India; and, if the Supreme Government were still to be pre served at that spot, we should be retaining our central seat of administration at one of the most distant cor ners of our dominion. In the next place, it must be observed, that if the productiveness of India is ever to be much increased, the object must be accomplished by reclaiming from desolation or sterility those spacious plains which should derive an agricultural value from the fertiliz ing streams of the Ganges and the noble rivers of the Punjaub. Already the work of irrigation in the north west is regarded as one of the most important duties of Government; and it needs no argument to prove that the enterprise will be far more effectively prose cuted under the immediate eyes of the chief rulers of India. Such a precedence would we fain assign to these pacific enterprises that, if truth would permit, we should gladly abstain from mentioning the benefits of the proposed migration in the event of war. If the storm, however, should ever burst upon us anew, it 15 scarcely doubtful that it must proceed from the quar ters against which we should thus be fortified by the presence and appurtenances of a central power. One of the contemplated advantages of the East Indian Railway was, that it would carry our battalions from Barrackpore to Meerut before the enemy could con centrate his strength on the Sutlej ; but, if these are the contingencies against which our battalions are most obviously required, why should not Meerut be made a Barrackpore at once ? It would doubtless have been a prodigious gain to have reduced a march of 1,000 miles to a ride of forty-eight hours, but why should not the movement be dispensed with altogether ? Why should our troops be quartered at all at such a distance from the probable scene of action ? In point of fact, the Bengal army already pivots on Umballah or Lahore ; the artillery, it will be remembered, did actually receive the route the other day from its time-honoured quarters at Dum-dum, and substantial reasons ought surely to be forthcoming for main taining the troops in one place and their directors in another. So self-evident is the principle of the projected change, and so manifestly bad the huge and unwieldy Presidency of Bengal outgrown the administrative machinery of Calcutta, that at the last renewal of the Company's charter it was proposed by Government and sanctioned by Parliament to detach the north western provinces for a separate Presidency with the capital and title of Agra. The scheme, however, although still discernible in the arrangements and accounts of the Company, was never effectually car ried out, but it is now designed to divide the military force as well as the civil administration of Bengal, and maintain a Lahore army as distinctly as a La hore Government. The latter force, indeed, must soon become the more important of the two, and the last victories of the Bengal army may not improbably contribute to the comparative oblivion of the military designations under which they were wen. Above all, however, in the eyes of practical Eng lishmen the best argument for the change must lie in the circumstance that it simply contemplates an assimilation of profession to fact. The Government of India is already to all intents rind purposes engaged and stationed in these very parts, and there can be no good reason for maintaining such an artificial distinction between theory and prac tice 113 would place the residence of the Governor- General at Calcutta, while his duties lay at La hore. how far the seductions of climate may have operated in maturing this change of opinion we will not attempt to conjecture, but it; as a matter of fact, the Governor- General of India does find himself at Simish through ten months of the year, it is surely better that his Council should be brought thither at once than that a thousand miles should intervene be- tween the head and its members. If the Punjaub and the north-western districts furnish the chief scenes of action for the civil and military servants of the Com pany, they had better furnish a seat of government too. It is certainly probable that objections may hereafter be discovered to this remarkable migration, and, beyond all doubt, they will receive their fullest effect in the hands of the good people of Calcutta. It is no small calamity for a city to be reduced from a metropolis to an outstation, but, if the interests of India require it, the change must be made ; and if Calcutta, in its turn, should become a Golconda, it must acquiesce in the unalterable destiny of cities, and glories of the past. repose on the THE LATE KING OF HANOVER.—Our lady readers will be glad to hear that from the usual forethought of the Messrs. Jay, there will not be any advance in the price of silks, &c., for mourning, their resources both in the loom and bulk in Regent-street being more than amply sufficient to meet the expected demand. ASTLET'S.—Mr. Batty, ever on the look-out for novelty and attraction, has just made an addition to his stock in the shape of a pair of elephants, male and female, which have just arrived from Calcutta, in the ship Ann Mary, Captain 'nisei], now lying in the St. Mr Katherine's Docks ; they were purchase d expressly for . Batty, and are attended by a native Mahout, whose control over the animals is most extraordinary. They will doubtless be ex hibited at the Amphitheatre in a short time. CUSTOM-HOUSE REFORM. —The agitation at pre sent going on for numerous reforms in the management of the Customs, is already producing results; as, on Monday next that important branch of the Customs, the Long Room, will be open at 9 a.ar., in place of 10 A.M., at which hour official business will commence. During the summer months it is intended to commence business at 8 A M., thus giving merchants an advance of two hours of most valuable busi ness time. CUSTOMS.—The following notice has been issued by the Commissioners of the Customs Custom-house, London, Nov. 18, 1851.—Notice.—Merchants, shipowners, masters of vessels, and others, who may have occasion to address the Board of Customs, are hereby informed that it would tend materially to expedite the board's decision upon their applications, if, instead of lodging their applications with the Petition Clerk tor registry in the first instance, they would, when convenient, deliver the same to the prin cipal officer of the department, or at the station to which the subject Lf their application may relate, who have been in structed to report thereon and forward the papers with all practical dispatch to the Board through the Petition office at the Custom-house. By order of the Commissioners. —William Maclean, Secretary." S. MARIA CußTlS.—This young woman, who, it will be recollected, was deprived of her eyesight in April last by the accidental discharge of a pistol, was last week elected into the School for the Indigent Blind by a large majority of votes, her Majesty the Queen sending her proxy for lOU. The sufferer, whose affliction is now in some degree alleviated by the kindness of her benevolent friends, has testified her gratitude by her sincere thanks to them.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. The attendance , of commone•ra was very nuvneruue, and several aldermen were present in consequence of the expectation that a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor would be proposed. Mr. BENNOCII invired of the chairman of the Markets' Improvement Committee (Mr. H. L. Taylor), when the Court might expect to see their report. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—The committee aro as fully aware of the importance of this subject as the gen tleman who has pat the question, who may rest quite assured they are doing all they can in the matter. The committee are anxious not to come to a premature decision—they are about to prepare a re port which I hope to be able to lay before the Court very shortly. VOTE OF THANK 3 TO THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Mr. Deputy CORNET—My Lord Mayor, I feel it any duty to bring under the notice of the Court the services of the late Lord Mayor; and I hope the Court will allow me whilst 1 state that, during his tenure of office as president here (and I believe I shall be borne out by every member present), the business was never more punctually or more faithfully administered.—(Hear, hear.) I have in the vote which I now propose steered clear of any questions that might beget a controversy, from a conviction that a unanimous vote of thanks is a compliment that every public man duly appreciates. That vote is alloyed if there are are any objectors.— (Hear, hear.) I am unwilling to advert to what passed in the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday last, but my impression is that that Court, not having carried out its motto, "Audi alteram partem," has excluded such explanation as, I am satisfied, would have averted a good deal of what there took place.—(Hear, hear.) My motion is," That the thanks of this Court be presented to the Right Honourable Sir John Musgrove, Bart., the late Lord Mayor of the City, for the very able and efficient manner in which he dis charged the important duties of chief magistrate during the past year—a period eminently distin guished for the cultivation of the arts and sciences, and the extension of friendly intercourse with all the nations of the habitable globe—for the upright admi nistration of justice—for the punctuality and attention which distinguished him on all occasions—for the liberal support he cheerfully extended to the nu merous charitable institutions which adorn the metro. polis of the British empire—for his promptitude in convening the meetings of this Court, and the strict impartiality he displayed in presiding over its deli berations."— (Hear, hear.) Mr. JouN Maori—My Lord Mayor, I have been requested to second this motion. Before I consented to do so, I perused the paper on which it is written, in order to see whether, in my lAnnble estimation, there was any passage to which I could object. I confess I see none.—(Cheers.) Mr. BARKLEY—If a vote of thanks is to be passed, as a matter of form, I, perhaps, should have no ob jection to vote in its favour ; but when I consider that a vote of this description is one of the highest honours that this Court has it in its power to bestow, it is one that we ought to be very chary, indeed, in agreeing to, unless fully satisfied in our own minds that the late Lord Mayor fully deserves the compliment that is now sought to be paid to him.—(Hear, hear.) A very large sum of money is granted by this Court for the purpose of enabling the Lord Mayor to maintain the dignity and honour of the office, and, in my humble opinion, Sir John Musgrove failed in carrying out the object for which this money is granted.— (Hear, hear.) No member of this Court is in the habit of dining less frequently at the Mansion-house than I am.—(Oh, oh.) I certainly received an invi tation from his Lordship to dine there.—(ol3, oh, and loud cries of " Shame.") I accepted the invitation, but afterwards; when I found his Lordship had deviated from the practice of his predecessors in the mode in which the invitation was conveyed, I considered it my duty not to dine upon that occasion, —(Loud laughter.) When his Lordship was remonstrated with for the im propriety of the course he had pursued he assigned a reason which, I think, was an insult to the members of this Court.—(Laughter.) Mr. DE JERSEY—My Lord Mayor, the gentleman who proposed this resolution seemed to think—indeed, he said he stood upon very tender ground, and he, therefore, drew that resolution in a very mild form. lam not here to canvass its terms. lam perfectly free to admit the courtesy, the urbanity, and even the hospitality of the late Lord Mayor. I know not whether the late Lord Mayor has deviated from any rule or custom of late Lord Mayors.—(Oh, oh.) I go upon higher grounds. I stand upon principle, and I intend to move an amendment, and to divide the Court upon it, even if I stand alone. The late Lord Mayor has violated an obligation.—(Oh, oh.) He has done that in a foreign country which he dare not do here.—(",Oh, oh," and laughter.) In this country we never hear of public festivals being held on the Sabbath—the idea of such a thing is repugnant to the feelings of the British nation, and would not be tolerated for a moment. Formerly the Ministers of the day used to give their public dinners on a Sunday, but the practice has of recent years been abolished. So also with the Lord Mayor. When foreigners flocked here a few months ago they found the Exhibition closed to the public on Sundays ; but when the Lord Mayor went to Paris he was content to enjoy the festivities of that city on that day. Perhaps I shall be told that the Lord Mayor could not have acted differently from what he did, and that he must have gone to the folks on Sunday, or not at all ! Not at all! The French are a polite and considerate people, and would most willingly listen to the conscientious objections of any man, more especially of a man so honoured as the late Lord Mayor was on the occasion of his visit to Paris, and they would have acceded to any wishes he might have expressed with the greatest promptitude. I have not provided myself with any seconder. I ap prehend that every Christian gentleman who supports the Sabbath, as a great number in this Court do, will feel it to be a principle existing in his mind to endea vour to carry out the amendment which I propose. I see a friend opposite (Mr. Anderton) taking notes, I hope I shall have his vote. Mr. ANDERTON—I am not a pantiler or a maw worm.—(Laughter.) Mr. Dis JERSEY—Now, I look round again, and esk who will support me ? Mr. ANDERTON—Why, nobody.—(Laughter.) Mr. DE JERSEY—I ask members who hold up their lion& repeatedly in this Court for the various reli gious societies of the community, whether they will hold up their hands against my amendment? Mr. A ND ERTONl—Certainly ; all of us.—(Hear.) Mr. DE JERSEY-4 should be ashamed to do so. I can tell my friend this, that if I am not supported in this Court, I am supported out of it.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Oh.") I am supported by the whole community of England. 1 have no objection to the resolution of the lion. Deputy, but I wish to add as an amendment the following words: — "Yet this Court cannot but express its regret that, on the occasion when the municipal authorities of Paris offered a series of magnificent files to the Lord Mayor, and other distinguished Englishmen, the Chief Magis trate of the city of London permitted himself to forget the obligations of the Christian Sabbath, and to sanc tion, by his presence at Versailles, th© desecration of that day. This Court with pain declares its opposition to the course taken by one whose public conduct has been generally so deservedly esteemed; but, looking to the character of Great Britain, in which, however im perfectly, yet most firmly, the Sabbath-day is honoured by the outward conduct of official men, and by the ex ample of but t f rtehgerSetovtheraetigthne lateoftheLseorrdeamlmasy,otrhii.asiCleodutrot hold d that day sacred in a foreign land. The world•famed courtesy of our French neighbours would undoubtedly have promptly provided for a conscientious objection, while they would have honoured the consistency of the Lord Mayor in the maintenance of principle alike in France as in England." Mr. ANDERTON—Nobody will second that, I am sure.—(Laughter.) Mr. Deputy LoTT said, I do not rise to second the amendment, but to support the original resolution. I had indeed hoped that a resolution of so temperate a nature as that which is before the Court would have passed unanimously, and I regret very much that any opposition whatever should be made to it. Our friend Mr. Barkley opposed it, and I cannot enter into his reasons. According to his own statement, he was invited to a dinner at the Mansion-house.—(Hear.) He did not dine there.—(Laughter.) Whether he anticipated taking anything which might disagree with him or not, I cannot tell—(lncreased laughter) —Mr. De Jersey has taken objection to the conduct of the late Lord Mayor in Paris. The objection taken by the Court of Aldermen was based upon a very different ground. It appears that the late Lord Mayor had in a foreign country—a country profess ing a different religion—chosen, on his own Sabbath, t to o hs worship ypo )topfeato,ohrb eher Lord i uet gentlemenomrireligion.—(Hear, igo MakerniMayor i_fha in a p r , ac h e e of hear.) worship This dedicated conduct caused considerable delay in the movements of The remarks on rr t ea h msa e r ae e r t great, ascetic.—(Loud . an —o and f( Ldnoo brought uayld forl fiaelaughter.) gd h dw censure t o (eDr. n e) saju l oape n i h dor a sne v eo e heard of a French astronomer postponing an eclipse—perhaps there would have been as much rea son and probability in postponing the fele.— (Laughter.) I would ask my friend whether his ob servations were not those of an ascetic, when he would deny to the Lord Mayor a few hours' enjoy ment in the after-part of the day, after having at tended his own place of worship. He seems to have forgotten the verses of the celebrated Dr. Watts, who says, with reference to the recreations of man, re ligion never was designed " To make our pleasures less." —(Eiear, hear, and laughter.) I most cordially agree with the motion proposed. I say most distinctly that the Lord Mayor acted with the most praiseworthy courtesy to the meinbera of this court, and that he performed all his duties with z-al and ability.— FRIDAY EVENING, (Cheers.) It seemed that there was in , the other Court an unfortunate disagreement upon questione with which the Court of COaAJIOII Council it td noth ing to do, but that disagreement would hay e no in ilvnce upon the decision to which we art 7ive. Mr. BENNOCII—My Lord Mayor, I am neit her the apologist nor the eulogist of aldermen, whether sit ting on the bench or on the cane chair. At the same time it becomf-s me and every member of the.: Court to maintain the dignity of every officer of seesponsi bility and power.—(Hear, hear.) Many of the ob servations made to-day go far to degrade r.be office held to be so honourable, and which gentles ten who presume to attack hold in veneration.—(Heaet, hear.) I certainly have not received greater civilihices from the late Lord liayor than other members of this Court, but I never k new th e c h a ir occupi ed with more dignity th an w h en occup i e d by h;en, and I never heard any man d ec l are t h at h e did no t perform his whol e d u ti es i n a manner worthy o f t h e c h a r ac t er of the first magistrate of the city of London. hear.) One gentleman spoke of a dinner! Are we to determine whether we shall give a, vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor because tie did not entertain a member of this Court at his table in a way that exactly suited the taste of the ge atleman Are eating and drinking to constitute the cl Fief office and functions of a Lord Mayor? They t ire consi dered by certain psrts of the press to be so, :and with good reason too, when you find an honourabl E' gentle man get up and gravely declare that, on a c count of some slight alteration in the mode of invieittion, be will oppose a vote of thanks ?—(Hear, hear.) Had it not been for the courtesy of the Lord Me;:vor, and his attention to his public duties when tie a Great Industrial Palace was open, this Court would %tot have had a place there.—(Hear, hear.) I contia_er the Lord Mayor in that respect not worthy of all censure, but deserving of all praise ; and I consider t . hat what Mr. De Jersey h as sa id i s a p i ece o f unm istakable, unmitigated cant.—(Loud laughter, and cries of " Hear.") Dust gentleman opposes the vete of thanks on account of the visit of the Lord I tlayor to the waterworks at Versailles, on Sunday. N. my, I ask him, whether he himself, or other Honours ale Gen tlemen connected with the Legislature, net , vr visited Hyde-park, or any other place of reerea , ion on a Sunday ?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Clan—My Lord Mayor, in all Catholic countries the Church service is in the mornir g. The people attend their places of worship at save ti, eight, nine, and eleven o'clock. In this country th e people never think of commencing public Divine se. rvice till eleven. In every part, of the Continent the :hurdles are open every day, and the religious part a of the communities thus go daily to church.—(ll 'ear.) 1 mention this for the purpose of showing wl tot 1 be lieve to be the fact, namely, that the Sabbath is quite ac well if not better kept in France than it i e, in this country.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. ANDERTOV—I need not state in this Cc rut that I am proud of having the late Lord Meyo r as my friend; and I should be ashamed of myself, either in this or any other assembly, to hear that i ionour able gentleman calumniated, if I did not get ; up in ' my place to defend him.—(Cheers.) Observations have been made by Mr. De Jersey with regar d to the Lord Mayor's acceptance of the invitation given to him, and those who accompanied him, and the public, tind the English in general at Versailles on a Sunday. I Fe went to his church in the morning, and did his duty i i sere 115 a Christian and a Protestant. His performance .of that sacred duty delayed his attendance at Versail' ,es, and drew down upon him not only the censure of tl le press of England but some portion of the press of : ?ranee, for keeping persons waiting.—(Hear.) The is to Lord Mayor is kind, he is generous, he is obaritabl g, and a man more religious or more observant of ti 1,3 Sab- bath does not exist.—(Cheers.) Mr. Andert an, after several other observations in commendation of the whole course pursued by the late Lord :;Mayor, thought it necessary, although not encourage c I to do so by the Court, to read the items of the expo a iditure in the past year, and from the statement it z p peared that Sir John Musgrove had expended ver3 r consi derably mere than the sum allowed for su staining the dignity of the office. Mr. PHILLIPS hoped that the vote of thank 7; would be unanimously passed. Mr. GILPIN,—I have not been present dur' ing the whole of the debate, but I wish to take this o pportu nity, and I took a similar opportunity two ye ,srs ago, to express my conviction that there are no c ircum stances under which this Court exhibits much littleness in the eyes of the world as when we .are en gaged in discussions of giving thanks or °the) r wise to a chief magistrate of the City.—(Hear.) V J e hear gentlemen who have never been chief mag strides, and are never likely to be chief magistrages, finding fault with a position of which they know not' S ing, or next to nothing, of the trials and the difficult ies ; Ind we hear those who have some chance of bell t g Lord mayors flinging stones at their predecessors, because of some fancied slight and some - peculiar occv crrences. —(Hear, hear) My Lord Mayor, these thi 3gs sink us, and deservedly sink us, in the estimati( ►.n of all upright and sensible men.—(Hear, hear.'j Mr. Gilpin then expressed himself perfectly satisl ied with the mayoralty of last year, and concluded wii; th hop ing that the resolution of thanks would be carried unanimously. The question was then put, and there a rpeared upon the division, which Mr. Anderton insis 31 upon causing to be taken— In favour of the vote of thanks .. jlB Against it 8 Majority in favour of the vote .... 1 10 Mr. De Jersey's am e nd men t no t basil tg been econded, of course fell t o t h e ground. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION AMENDMENT 'EI Upon the mdtion of M r . D eputy liAarov iN, the Court proceeded with th e a dj ourned cons id ec .tation of the proposed Bill for re gu l a ti ng elections vi t hin the under cot city of London, and for con f err i ng, ELL. ain re strictions, the rights and privileges of free'ven and citizens of the said city upon persons occuP!riDg and rated to premises therein. _ _ _ - --- Clause 1, repealing the 11th of George I-11 c. 18, and the 12th and 13th of Vi ctor i a, c. 94, vras agreed to without alteration. Upon the second being proposed, which lxrovided to any legal incapacity, within the said city, or the " that every male person of full age, and Dot subject period of a year and a day, sole either have ic i c o u r p t ie h d e liberties thereof, with any ether person or prs any houses count ing -house, warehouse, office, chambers, l b t e rs , or stiop, and shall, in the case of a solely or jointly respect of such premises be tatted in of the occupiers in or to in a h n isc a c rn u o P u a n i t onn' w e, in. T o , r to an amount of not less than ten pounds per annual., or, in divided by the number of occupiers, shallbgicivil the case of a joint occupation, P be rat e d is thee names a w s h u e m n of not less than ten pounds per annum for each and every such occupier t, any municipal, parliamentary, or parochial rate, in respect of such premitas, and shall hear lot, shall, whilst continuing to occupy the same, be entitled to all the benefits and privileges of A freeman and citizen, and subject toall ths duties thereof, and shall be entitl e d to vote as such in any election for alderman, or common councilman, or ward officer, for the ward in which such paemises shall be situate, and a l so at any election of mayor , sheriffs, chamberlain, brid gemas t ers , auditiors of chamberlain's and bridgem as t ers ' a ccounts, and for any and every other officer to be chosen in and for the said city by the liverymen thereof." Deputy CORNET proposed as an amendment that the latter part of the clause, from the word " situate," should be omitted. Alderman SIDNEY wished to take the earliest op portunity of setting his friend, Deputy Caney, right, in the wrong conclusion to which he believed that gentleman had arrived with reference to the parti cular part of the Bill then under review. Did they (the promoters of the Bill) propose anything in that clause by which the livery would be deprived of any rights which they now possessed ? If so, let the ad vocates of the livery prove it.—(Hear.) This they sought to do, to abolish monopoly, and throw open still wider the franchises and privileges of the city to bona fide citizens; for it was a fact that many of the gentlemen connected with the companies of the pre sent day, neither resided among the real citizens of London nor "bore lot with them."—(Hear, bear.) Mr. BENNOCO thought that there was no necessity for searching amongst musty documents to support the extension sought by the promoters of the Bill. The fact was, that the City companies had been formed at a time when commerce iu this country was in its swaddling clothes, when the land was fettered by monopoly, and when they could not, even if they wished, move so rapidly as in the times in which they now lived. Such days, however, had gone by. As to the amendment, it involved an absurdity, when go with a go o d Bill t compared with the pri nci p le of the Bill , which was not think that the for perfect freedom for the constituen cy. If they 0e m desiredcompanies e o nonesgo caredt to atasingle Parliament,Hjoet let adbi do tu the matter.henl Mr. R. TAYLOR had for many years sanctioned an enlargement of the franchise, and he believed that nothing in the Corporation required reform more than the elections in common hall. Alderman LAWRENCE said that the object of the clause was very simple; it was to give every citizen the right of voting in common hall. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR was in favour of enlarging the constituency much, but he could not give to the Bill that hearty support he would have willingly done had not the Court, at their last sitting, struck out of it the clause which provided that the election of Aldermen should not be for life, but for a term of seven years.— (Hear, hear.) By doing so, they had, as be believed, rendered the Bill iutile, absurd, and most ridiculous. Mr. BLAKE would support the clause as it stood. Deputy Haunisora briefly spoke, after which the question was put, and the amendment lost by a large majority. Mr. NORRIS then moved as a second amendment— That the words in the same clause (2) shall b e eu. titled to all the benefits and privileges of a freeman and citizen, and subject to all the duties thereof,' " should be expunged. Ho thought it was right to extend the francbie, hut not to grant with th;it the additional privilege of fraedom from tolls, and parti cipation in pecuniary benefits, which might involve serious legal difficulties. Deputy HALE seconded the amendment. Mr. T. H. HALL was in favour of the utmost ex tension both of the franchise and the privileges of the Corporation. After some further conversation, the amendment was declared to be lost, and, after a division being called for, the numbers were declared to be— For the clause For the amendment of the words MsjDrity Clauses 3,4, and 5 were then agreed to, verbal amendments only being introduced. Upon clause 6 being proposed, Mr. Norris urged that tLere was in it matter of much importance, when a member ob. serving that 40 members were not present, the Court was counted out. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEPARTURE OF LIEUTENANT PIM, R.N., FOR ST. PETERSBURGM.—WO understand that a special mes senger from the Foreign-office has been appointed by Lord Palmerston to accompany Lieutenant Pim to the above capital. They started last night. The encouragement held out to Lieutenant Pim by our Government is a subject of universal satisfaction, and will cheer him greatly on his bold and arduous under taking. No officer ever left England with better wishes for his success than those which attend him from all sides: and that he may be• instrumental in restoring Sir John Franklin and his long-absent com panions, is a pr.syer breathed from many a lip. THE CRUISE ON TILE COAST OP MOROCCO. We have already stated that the Arethusa. 50, Cap tain Symonds, and the Daunthss, 33, screw-frigate, Captain Halsted, has returned to Lisbon from their cruise on the coast of Morocco. The Dauntless, arrived at Tangier on the 30th of October, communicated with the consul, and left next morning fur Gibraltar, bringing intelligence for tee Are►husa, which ship had arrived a few hour., , before the Dauntless. They now Lund that their services were not required, the Janus bring in an efficient state, and her gallant commander fast recovering from his recent wounds. The Dauntless was at Gibraltar a couple cf hours, and left on the 31st of October. The Arethusa remained a few days there, and then left for Lisbon. On her passage a serious accident occurred. One seaman accidentally shot another through the leg, and amputation of the limb was the consequence. The Dauntless arrived at Lisbon on the 6 h instant, and the Arethusa next day. Oa the morning of the Ist of November the Bellerophon, 7G, Captain Lord G. Paulet, and Her cules were spoken. They were slashing through the Straits of Gibraltar, all well. Every one appears to praise the admirable tactics of Commander Powell in the Janus—all that he did is held to be well timed and well executes. A day of retaliation;;W:litTtlio7e piratical rascally Moors, and probably the Lisbon kquad ro n will have to do the work. Just now it would he useless to attempt to punish them, for little or no harm could be done; but when their crops are grown and nearly ripe, and their cattle near to the coast, then, and not till then, could a successful and severe lesson be inflicted. It was exiected that Commodore Martin's squadron would go to sea for the next three weeks ; when it does it will go for the purpose of trying the Dauntless, which ship will most likhly come to England. DEVOISPORT, Nov. 19.—Barnard Weymouth, lead ing man of shipwrights in Devonport Yard, has taken his discharge from that establishment, having „accepted the situation of foreman to the eminent shipbuilders Wigram and Co., Blackwell, London. Crane, 6, Commander M'Donnell, was towed out of harbour this morning by the ConCance steam-tug, and is swung to test her compasses by Mr. Thomp son, Queen's harbour-master. She has taken in her powder, and will sail so soon as Mr. Gabriel, arbi trator at Loando, is ready, as he is to take a passage in her. Rosamond steamer commence taking in coals :o-morrow. The following superannuations took place in the past week :—John Jefferey and John Holland, ship wrigts, 241. each ; ,William Phillips, leading man of ropemakers, 34/. ; and William Alger, leading man of labourers, 201. per annum. Spartan having had her bottom completed, will be taken out of No. 2 dock to-morrow, when the Trin comalee will be taken in the same tide. The Sans parcil will be taken out of No. 4 dock on Saturday next, the 22d. Aid lighter, Smallman master, arrived to-day with stores from the Eastern yards. Orders have been received at this dockyard that no seaman rigger is to be entered on the establishment unless he has served at least six years in sea-going ships, and held the rating of petty officer or able seaman, the selection in all cases to be made from the seamen employed in the yard as riggers, or in the yard craft. None to be accepted but such as are efficient, of good character and health. Sanspareil new 80-gun steam-ship, is ordered to be fitted with Kingston's valves, with all possible dis patch, prior to her being taken out of dock. Four labourers have been appointed leading men in the room of a like number superannuated, and in every case those chosen have before acted in the capa city of their new appointments. Another charge, being tlle eighth case within a fortnight, was yesterday preferred against a barge man employed in the removal of rubbish from the new works of Keyham, for discharging the same within the limits of the harbour. In this case, as in the former ones, the commodore fined the party 404. —in the event of nonpayment to be imprisoned 14 days. Mr. Eastlake attended as solicitor for the Admiralty. The Lords of the Admiralty have granted the sum of 201. towards the repairs of Stoke Church, Devon port, which was some time since damaged internally by fire. By an arrangement entered into we believe as far back as the reign of William and Mary the officers and men of the arsenal are entitled to accom modation in this church, the officers' pews being in the south aisle. Until the innovating hand of Pu seyism was allowed to desecrate the building it pos sessed a fine old oak pulpit and sounding-board, the former bearing the Admiralty arms in the front panel. This has been razed to suit modern notions, and the sounding. board has vanished from the building alto gether. In return for the accommodation in the church, the Admiralty for many years kept the road from the yard gates to the church in repair, but during the naval administration of Sir James Graham, whose unique samples of economy afforded consider able amusement at the time, it was discovered that the road had been diverted from its original course, and the worthy baronet therefore cried off so much of the bargain for repairs. The Admiralty, however, still keep the pavement of the carriage-way in the princi pal, or Fore -street, in repair, in accordance with the original agreement. APPOINTMENTS. Woolavlcm, Nov. 20.—Lieutenants—Thomas P. P.

NAVAL MELANCHOLY DEATH O F A Yesterday morning an inquiry tooktook place OFFICER.— plsatcret,St.before James's square, Mr. m Bed ford, ed: ford, the coroner, at the Red Lion, Y square, as to the death of James Thompson, Esq., aged sixty-five, a gentleman of fortune, who was formerly in the naval service of the East India Company. The jury having viewed the body, which was lying at Crockford's Palace Club Chambers, St. James's-street, John Flegg, chamberlain at er ockford's, stated that the deceased had resided the r e for the last seven months. On Wednesday morning he had breakfasted as usual, and gave directions as to what he wished done. At half-past eleven he gave wit ness a stock tohave a buckle put on, and on taking it back at twelve he was not in his room, and he supposed he had gone ti, the water-closet. In the evening, as lie had given no order about his dinner, witness went and knocked at his door, but no answer was returned. Inquiries were made, but no one had been him, nor could he be anywhere heard. At last it was determined to open his room door, and witness became greatly alarmed at seeing his silver snuffbox on the table, his gold watch on the mantelpiece, and his hat and gloves on one of the chairs. Ile then went to the water closet, and the door having been forced open the unfortunate gentleman was discovered bent up, with his head on the floor, quite stiff, and he must have been dead for at least six hours. Mr. Armstrong, of Duke street, surgeon, said he found deceased as above described. He had a white neckerchief on, and a black one over it, which were very tight, but tied in the usual way. He had since opened the body and found extensive disease of the heart, quite suffi cient to cause death. In his opinion he had fainted, and fallen down with his head on his shoulder, and the tightness of his neckerchief might have caused an overflow of blood tol the brai n . Th e jury found that he vied a di s ease of the heart. NOVEMBER ,4 ". --1 7 5 21 ) 1851 . •79 DEPARTURE OF KOSSUTH. SotornamyroN, Tnuasnar.—The arrival of the Me.g:eer chi e ft a i n a t S ou th a mpton, for the purpose of ernharlzing for the United State:, was made v e Me by the "rPoratioa and the town. Early in the morning the public buildirgs and numerous ptivate houses dis played the - Royal standard, union jacks, the Hunga rian and United Se:tes colours. The Mayor and Council r.oct at nine o'clock at the Audit House, and proceeded to the terminus of the. South-Western Rail way, where, headed by the town sergeants, with their made and other pa;spher na li a all in robes, they waited the a rr i va l of Kos , .aith, and ' no short time, for, owing to a fall of seow between Basingstoke and Winchester, the train which should have arrived at ten o'clock, did not arrive till 11.30 a.m. Kossuth, his lady, and suite, were received by the Mayor, Corporation, the American Consul (Mr. Cowley), and other gentlemen. The ladies proceeded in carriages, the gentlemen walked in pro cession, to the American Consulate. At a quarter to one all parties proceeded to the Royal Pier, off which was anchored the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Jupiter, dressed out in colours. There was a goodly number of company on the pier, but the quays end pl a tf orm were crowded. The hells of Holy rood rung out their peals. The 'Mayor and cor poration, besides numerous visitors, proceeded by a smaller steamer on board the Jupiter, and on her swinging from her moorings, a salute of 21 guns was fired from the town battery. Kossuth was mark edly affected by the sympathy shown him. The ladies pressed upon him to shake hands, and took particular interest in his lady, who seemed to have suffared greatly. The enthusiastic and endearing exclamations of numerous Hungarians, who had come to bid a farewell to their gallant chief, were very impressi ve . SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY NlGHT.—Kossutb, with his suite, left the Royal Pier in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Jupiter soon after one o'clock, accompanied by the Mayor and corporation of the town, a n d a large party of ladies and gentle men, amongst whom were Lord Dudley S . ruart, Colonel Salw e y, M.P. for Ludlow, Edward Nightin gale, Esq., and others. A splendid (16ciiner was provided on board, at the evo•nse of the Mayor and • - eorperatior, of width about sixty o gEntleme.n ed t.or partookin in the chief salo on , th e l a di es being provia the ladies' cabin. Af:er the rorrioval of the cloth the Mayor gave the usual loyal toasts, w7!ich were succeEded by " The health of Louis Kossuth," to which that geotkuun replicd in a brilliant speech of Satre dUratiOD. It was, however, almost a recapitulation of his former speeches, with a grticeful tribute to England, and thw Mayor of Southampton in particular, for the princely hospitality ha had exnerienct d whilst :.ojeurning in this country. The HumbAdt steam•ship had not arrived at Cowes at sun-set, owing, no doubt, to adv+-rse winds. As the company who lied acc:mpanied Kossuth to Cowes were necessitated to return, the illustrious chi 4 eru• harked from the Juditer on board a smaller steamer hi:1(11v provided by J. R. Croskey, Esq , the Ameri can Consul. Hearty and prolonged cheers were given as the exiled party stepped fror-q the Jupiter to the steamer, with sincere wishes for a sate and prospe rous voyage. _ . _ _ As it iu somewhat foggy, it is possible the Hum boldt mly not arrive until the morning,. In this case the small steam-shin will lay in Cowes roads until bar arrival. The suite of Kossuth consists of about 15 persons, including M. and Madame Pulezky. The Jupiter arrived in docks about nine o'clock, after an extremely pleasant day. Lola Montes is waiting at Cowes for tbo Hum boldt, so that she will be a passenger to New York in the same vessel as Kossuth and his friends. ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT. SOUTHAMPTON, ELEVEN P M. The Earl of Maluiesbury has just landed the mails brought by the Humboldt, which arrived off Cowes at a quarter to nine o'clock. Kossuth and his party went on board at nine, and the vessel forthwith pro ceeded down. the Channel. THE SIBERIAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION. We understand that Lieutenant Pita started for Dover and Calais yesterday morning. He travels by railway via Berlin to Warsaw, and thence to St. Petersburgh. It is hardly to he doubted that his Imperial Majesty will afford all the desired assistance, and that we shall see this spirited enterprise conducted in a manner worthy of its great object. We rejoice to perceive that from the Treasury and the Foreign office Lieutenant Pim has received that support which, had the Admiralty promoted his undertaking, would have been needless. The Treasury grant, conveyed by Lord John Russell with so much kindly feeling, ;is a most material addition to the private funds which had already been supplied ; and thus furnished, we think that Lieutenant Pim may be congratulated upon possessing every possible facility for the prosecution of his work. Since the publication of Lieutenant Pies plan, presented to the Geographical Society, several naval officers have come forward to express their desire to accompany him. THE PRIZE LIFE-BOAT. The life-boat, built and designed by Mr. James Beaching, of Yarmouth, known as the "Northumber land Prize Life-boat," being the boat selected from 280 others as deserving of the prize of 100 guineas presented by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, has recently been towed by the Monkey steam-vessel, from Woolwich into Ramsgate Harbour. A trial of the Northumberland life-boat's sailing was made on Tuesday, the 18th inst., from off the adjoining harbour of Broadatairs, against the Broad stairs life. boat, designed, and benevolently presented by Mr. White, of Cowes ; the Broadstairs boat being so much the smaller of the two, had not the same chances, and was dropped i❑ the wake of her more aristocratic rival. The next trial of the Northumberland life-boat was made on the same day in the harbour of Rams gate, in the presence of Lieut. Wells, R.N., com manding the coast guard at Broadstairs ; Lieut. Sim mons, R.N., commanding at Ramsgate ; Captain Martin, the harbour-master, and a host of scientific men of all services. The life-boat was brought under a crane, and, by means of tackle, capsized with one hand aboard—in 14 seconds she relieved and righted herself, and there, amidst enthusiastic cheering, and without more inconvenience than a wet jacket, stood the inventor's intrepid son, Mr. Samuel Beeching, of Ram-gate. On the day following the Northumberland life boat was manned by a picked crew of thirteen men from the adjoining coast guard stations, commanded by Captain Charlewood, the inspecting commander. She sailed for the Goodwin Sands, and behaved in every way most admirably. A revenue cutter, which accompanied her, could hardly outsail the lifeboat; and her crew declared their confidence to be so great in her powers and qualifications, that they would not hesitate to go out in her during the hardest gale or through the heaviest sea. The principal qualifications of this life-boat are the power of self righting, self-ballasting with water bal last in secure compartments, and of self-relieving when capsized, in from 14 to 20 seconds. In addition to these recommendations she is also a fast sailer, very dry, steers well and easily, pulls lightly, and is most capacious, having a double bank of oars, with room aboard for 40 or 50 souls; altogether she is most perfect and effective, and great praise is due to her inventor, Mr. James Beechinkr, of Yarmouth.
