COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Thursday a Court was held for the dispatch of pub lic business. THE ROYAL COMMISSION. Deputy BENNOCH-My Lord Mayor, before proceed. i n g to the business of the day, I wish to ask a question which may be of advantage to some members of this Court. It is in connection with the royal commission appointed to inquire into the doings of the corporation of London. I observed in a letter yesterday certain statements made, and the letter itself was dated from one of the Government offices at the West-end. This morning I find a nother letter, referring to the same subject, dated from King's Bench-walk, Temple. I wish to know whether the royal commissioners are to conduct their inquiry at the West-end of London or in the City, or whether any definite arrangement has been made in the matter ! (Hear, hear.) I cannot help thinking that it would be more convenient if these gentlemen would come into the City, rather than drag people to the West-end of London, at very great inconvenience, for the purpose of being examined. (Hear, hear.) Is the exact locality known in which these gentlemen intend to hold their inquiry, and, if so, where is it ? (Hear, hear.) The Lord MAToa—The inquiry certainly will be corn menced in Downing-street, at the office of the First Lord of the Treasury. I was surprised to seo the letter that appeared in yesterday's papers, because, as I un derstood, it was a letter communicated to me as the head of this corporation, and as I had shown it to no one it could not have been from any copy of that lette r th a t the communica tion appeared in the newspapers as having been addressed to the Lord Mayor. (Hear, hear.) I have written to the commissioners stating m y surprise, and assuring them that whatever infor mation is necessary for the inquiry will be most freely , and cheerfully afforded by the officers of this corpora tion, and that I should not feel myself at liberty to com municate to the public press any communication that the commissioners might choose to send to me without their sanction. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WOOD—As this subject has been m ooted, it is right that I, as chairman of the consolidated commit tee, to whom this Court referred the watching and the conduct of this business on the part of the corporation, should say a word. Seeing that letter in the newspaper yesterday, I, accompanied by the Remembrancer, thought it my duty to call upon the Lord . Mayor, for the purpose of ascertaining by what means it had . obtained publicity. (Hear, hear.) I was v er y much relieved on learning from his lordship that it had not obtained publicity f r o m anything he had eit her done o r said. How that letter got into the papers his lordship does not know, nor can he, nor can you u ; but I should certainly have tho ug ht it the very height of indiscretion, if I may be pardon e d for saying so , if his lordship had, without the sanction of the commissioners, permitted that document to go forth, because, upon the face of it, it might or might not be intended as a public communication. It was a do cument sent for the information of this Court. The consolidated committee met yesterday, and passed a re solution desiring the town-clerk to communicate with the secretary to the commissioners, requesting to be in formed whether it was the intention of the Government to hold their sittings in public or in private. (Hear, hear.) The committee, of course, can assume nothing. They know nothing further than the information con veyed to his lordship. An answer, no doubt, will be re turned to that communication, and, when received, the committee will meet, and will, if necessary, come up to this Court. I ask the Court not to come to any conclu sion themselves as to what course the commissioners intend to take. The matter will be watched by the con solidated committee in conjunction. In the meantime, the committee may rely upon the interests of the cor poration being thoroughly guarded by the consolidated committee. DUES OF THE PORT OF LONDON. The TOWN CLERK read the following document, which bad been received by the Lord Mayor : " Shipping Dues Commission-office, 15, Parliament street, Oct. 18, 1853. "My Lord,—Her Majesty having been pleased to issue a commission, of which a copy is attached, we, the commissioners, have the honour to request that your lordship will be good enough to furnish us with the re quisite information as respects the charges (with the ex ception mentioned in the commission) levied or levible in the port of London on ships, or on goods carried in ships, by or on behalf of the corporation of the city of London. " We have the honour to forward to your lordship some copies of the questions which we have addressed to the authorities of the various harbours throughout the kingdom, showing the particular points to which our in quiries are directed. - "We have the honour to be, my Lord, your mos. obedient servants, " H. MANNERS SUTTON. " C. B. W. D. BETHUNE. " COLIN BLACKBURN." CONTEMPLATED PURCHASE OP SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE. Mr. R. C. BUCKNALL, chairman of the Bridgehouse Estates Committee, moved the adoption of the following report, which was read by Mr. Woodthorpe To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled. "We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, your corn- Mittee for letting the Bridgehouse Estates, to whom, on the 12th of May last, it was referred to consider whether it was desirable to throw open Southwark-bridge, and to ascertain if the proprietors were willing to dispose of their interest therein, also to consider the terms for so doing, and to confer with her Majesty's Government as to raising the necessary funds for the purpose, do certify that we proceeded in the said reference, and caused to be laid before us the several proceedings of the committee in relation to a former negotiation with the directors of the Southwark-bridge Company, when they stated their willingness to sell the bridge for the sum of 300,000/., and having carefully considered the same, we directed a com munication to be made to the directors of the Southwark bridge Company, referring to the former negotiation, and stating that we had since been given to understand that some alteration had taken place in the views of the company, and requesting to be informed of the terms upon which the directors would now be disposed to part with their interest in the bridge. We have since received a letter from the secretary to the company, stating that the directors were of opinion that subsequent to the com munication which passed between them and your com mittee in 1849, circumstances had occurred to increase the prospective value of the bridge ; and the directors, therefore, did not feel justified in recommending the pro prietors to sell the bridge with the approaches for a less sum than 300,000/. ; but, if your committee would agree to purchase the bridge at that sum, exclusive of Parliamentary and all other expenses, the directors would take the sense of the proprietors thereon ; and we, hav ing fully considered the subject, are of opinion that it would not he expedient to purchase Southwark-bridge upon the terms proposed by the company. All which we submit to the judgment of this honourable Court. "Dated this 14th day of October, 1853. " R. E. BUCKNALL, JAMES BAILEY, JAMES WATERLOW, J. R. THOMPSON, JAMES M. BARNARD, H. CHAPLIN, THOS. BARKLEY, W. LISTER, R. G. PEAD, W. HAWTREY, JOSEPH CAUSTON, JAMES WARREN, WILLIAM W. PiectiEß.” Deputy BENNOCH said that part of the reference m a d e to the Bridge-house Estates Committee was to inquire of the Government whether they would assist the corpo ration in any way in raising the funds. As the com mittee were silent upon this point, he apprehended they considered the sum so preposterously large that they had taken no step upon this part of the reference. Deputy PEWTRESS said he should be very sorry if the Court were to agree to the report under the present cir cumstances, which were of a different character to those existing in 1849. When it was considered that Cannon street had been rebuilt, that Queen-street had been pulled down as far as Southwark -bridge, it must be at once per ceived that the bridge was infinitely more valuable now than it was a few years ago. (Hear, hear, hear.) Ex treme inconvenience was sustained daily on account of the crowded state of London-bridge and its approaches, and it was quite evident that another bridge was re quired for the purpose of conveying the enormous traffic of the City to the Surrey side of the water. (Hear, hear.) Southwark-bridge would take off more than one-third of the traffic, and would be one of the greatest possible reliefs to the metropolis, The bridge had cost between 700,000/. and 800,000/., and the proprietors now offered to sell it for 300,0001., thus making an immense pecu niary sacrafice ; and as a new bridge and proper ap proaches could not be made for anything like this sum, he would move—" That the report he referred back to the committee, to ascertain by professional inquiry as to the strength and durability of the Southwark-bridge, and that they be authorised to continue the negotiation with the directors, and to report to this Court." Mr. Ros E sa id , that f ee li ng as h e did t h e great im portance of th e su bj ect, an d th e grea t wan t o f s t ree t accommodatio n , he very cordially seconded the amend ment. (Hear, hear.) If any member of the -Court would take the trouble to go . over London -bridge, be tween the h ours of four and six o'clock in the afternoon, he would see th e utter impossibility ' of the traffic of the metropolis being carried on with the bridge in its exist ing state, and would at once admit the necessity for immediate, alterati on , for the purpose of counteracting the inconvenience and delaoyl continually experienced there. (Hear, hear.) It sh u dbe borne in mind that one great advantage in the purchase of Southwark wark-bridge was, that all the approachieje have s to it were formed ; and if a new brid ge were to erected t on another site, great inconvenien ce wou l d ha en dured for the next five or six years. (Hear, heaor. be M r . H. L. TAYLOR said the pr esen t su bj ect ba d occu pied the attention of the Bridge - house Estates Committee for some years ; and it would be in the recollection of many members of the Court that an interview took place between a deputation of the committee and the directors of the bridge company upon this very ques tion, inasmuch as the corporation felt, as they did now, the great necessity for increasing the accommod a ti on for the traffic acros s the river. (Hear, hear.) The cor poration were sincere in their desire to afford the publi c greater accommodation, ifit were possible to obtai n it, and with this view they applied to the directors of the company. In order to obtain something like the value of the bridge, the deputation wished to ascertain the then income, but - the directors were opposed to giving any infonnation'apon this part of the question, with the and said that their present receipts had nothing to do sale of the bridge. Still the committee felt it to be an .• essential ingredient in the negotiation to ascertain what tb. fneOme of the company was, and upon inquiry they "tr. Ha it THE SUN, LONDON, SA found that there were original proprietors or share holders, and preference shareholders, and that the latter I were secured something like 10 per cent. before the former could receive anything. (Hear.) It further appeared that the preference shareholders, who were to have had 10 per cent., got something like li, and, as might be supposed, the original shareholders got nothing. At that time, when the railway mania was great, the com pany asked 300,0001. for the bridge, a sum much 1 larger than the committee felt it their duty to recom mend the corporation to give for it. At that time the Court agreed with the committee in their report. What now were the altered circumstances alluded to? The report now produced referred to the former interview, and the committee, in accordance with the directions of the Court, had revived the question. They had corre sponded with the directors to ascertain what their feel ings were, and the answer they had received was 300,000/. If the Court thought this a proper sum, there was no difficulty in the way of getting the bridge. 1 Was the mover of the amendment (Deputy Pewtress) prepared to say that 300,0001. was a fair price ? (Hear.) Deputy PEWTRESS—Quite prepared. (Hear, bear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR was sure the court would not agree to such a monstrosity. Half 300,0001. as the value of the bridge was nearer the mark, and if he were allowed to fix the price he would take 25 per cent. ofF the 150,0001. (Hear, hear.) Deputy Lo'rr thought the negotiation had been con ducted with great prudence and discretion on the part of the Bridgehouse Estates Committee. The question was, could the bridge be got for a less sum than 300,0001. ? If not, a new bridge must be built, which would not only cost snore than 300,000/., but a sum equally large. for the approaches. Deputy CORNEY said he believed the public were of opinion that Southwark -bridge was in a very unsound state. Mr. ELLIOTT could hardly have supposed that a speech could have been made in opposition to the amendment. The bridge had cost 700,0001., and when the share holders offered it at less than half this sum, he thought the proposal ought not to be rejected, especially as the bridge was worth ten times its value to the city of Lon don. (Hear, hear.) Mr. T. H. HALL had always hoped there would be an opportunity of purchasing the bridge for the benefit of the public, especially as no bridge could ever be built with suitable approaches on the north and south side at a less sum than between 800,0001. and 900,0001. Mr. PHILLIPS said he should support the amendment, for nobody would venture to deny the absolute utility of the bridge. Alderman WIRE said he conceived the question to be, Was more bridge accommodation required ? It was agreed on all hands that it was. London-bridge was over-loaded every day, and this in consequence of the annexation of railways to the London-bridge terminus, as well as in consequence of the increase of traffic to the railway in Fenchurch-street. There was, there fore, an absolute necessity, apart from the increase of population, for additional bridge accommodation over the Thames. (Hear, hear.) The question was, whether the corporation, by fair and honest nego tiation, could agree with the company, because what ever the defects of construction, and whatever its weakness, yet the bridge was placed in the very centre of the City, and it would, with all the openings now sur rounding it, relieve to an immense degree the traffic pass ing from the two sides of the river. (Hear.) It was said that 300,0001. was a very large sum. So it was ; and he should not agree to the payment of so extrava gant an amount unless others thoroughly conversant with the value of property of this description declared this to be a fair and reasonable equivalent for the bridge. Mr. NORRIS thought it exceedingly desirable that the court should have a report from the committee as to what the cost of a new bridge would be. Alderman HUMPHERY said if Southwark-bridge were thrown to the public, it would cost the corporation 5,000/. a year to keep it iu repair. He had himself been over it only last week with two engineers, for the purpose of examining it, when they discovered many portions of it to be in a very dangerous state. He thought 10,0001. nearer the value of the bridge than 300,000/. The amendment was then put, and declared to be carried. Mr. DE JERSEY then moved that the words after " durability of the Southwark-bridge" be omitted. Mr. Deputy BLAKE seconded the motion, which was negatived. The amendment was again put and carried, and the court adjourned. LORD PALMERSTON ON CHOLERA AND NATIONAL FASTS. At the ordinary meeting of the Presbytery of Edin burgh, on Wednesday, the Moderator stated that in consequence of the conversation which had taken place at the previous meeting on the propriety of a day of hu miliation and prayer on account of the visitation of cholera, he had written to Lord Palmerston, stating that " the members of Presbytery were of opinion that it was likely, under the circumstances, that a national fast would be appointed on Royal authority. For this reason (the communication proceeded to say) they delayed making an appointment for this locality, and directed me, in the meantime, respectfully to request that you would be pleased to say—if you feel yourself at liberty to do so—whether the appointment of a national fast by the Queen is in contemplation." In reply, the following letter was received from the Home-office : " Whitehall, Oct. 19, 1853. " Sir—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th in stant, requesting, on behalf of the Presbytery of Edin burgh, to be informed whether it is proposed to appoint a day of national fast on account of the visitation of the cholera, and to state that there can be no doubt that manifestations of humble resignation to the Divine Will, and sincere acknowledgments of human unworthiness, are never more appropriate than when it has pleased Providence to afflict mankind with some severe visita tion ; but it does not appear to Lord Palmerston that a national fast would be suitable to the circumstances of the present moment. " The Maker of the Universe has established certain laws of nature for the planet in which we live, and the weal or woe of mankind depends upon the observance or the neglect of those laws. One of those laws connects health with the absence of those gaseous exhalations which proceed from over-crowded human beings, or from decomposing substances, whether animal or vegetable ; and those same laws render sickness the almost inevit able consequence of exposure to those noxious influences. But it has at the same time pleased Providence to place it within the power of man to make such arrangements as will prevent or disperse such exhalations so as to ren der them harmless, and it is the duty of man to attend to those laws of nature, and to exert the faculties which Providence has thus given to man for his own welfare. " The recent visitation of cholera, which has for the moment been mercifully checked, is an awful warning given to the people of this realm that they have too much neglected their duty in this respect, and that those persons with whom it rested to purify towns and cities, and to prevent or remove the causes of disease, have not been sufficiently active in regard to such matters. Lord Palmerston would, therefore, suggest that the best course which the people of this country can pursue to deserve that the further progress of the cholera should be stayed, will he to employ the interval that will elapse between the present time and the beginning of next spring in plannin g and executing measures by which those por tions of their towns and cities which are inhabited by the poorest classes, and which, from the nature of thin g s, must most need purification and improvement, may be freed from those causes and sources of contagion which, if allowed to remain, will infallibly breed pestilence, and be fruitful in death, in spite of all the prayers and fastings of a united but inactive nation. When nAn has done his utmost for his own safety, then is the time to invoke the blessing of Heaven to give effect to his ex ertions.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " HENRY FITZROY." The reading of this letter from the Home Secretary excited a good deal of sensation among the members of Presbytery. Rev. Dr. CLARK said— It is not usual, I dare say, to make any remark on communications of this kind, but I feel called upon to say that I totally dissent from the doctrines contained in that letter, and that I can be no party to share in the responsibility of those who refuse, or at least who decline, to give an opportunity to her Majesty's subjects to meet together for prayer on the occasion of so fearful a visitation. I do not wish to make any remark on men in high places, but it is the first time, and I hope it will be the last, that any Secre tary of State has ever made any communication of this kind to any Presbytery. R ev . Dr. MUIR—I am sure we all concur in the statement made by our excellent friend. There can be only one sentiment of unmingled pity and regret enter tained by us that such a document should ever emanate from a professedly Christian Government. Rev. D. MACFARLANE—Concurring as I do in the views expressed in regard to this communication from the Home-office, there is required no further expression of opinion from me on that subject. I would only ven ture to propose that we should take no further Steps i n this matter, hut that we should report this communica tion to the Synod, which meets next week, so that whatever is done may be done not as a presbyt er y, but by our brethren within t he bounds of the pro vince. Rev. Dr. Mum—That reference of the matter to the Synod is only, of course, as regards the time. There is no dubiety on our minds as to the necessity for appoint ing a day of humiliation. (Hear.) Rev. Mr. SMITH thought it was desirable, as suggested by Dr. Crawford at last meeting, that in the meantime some steps should be taken to see if a day could be ap pointed for united Christian worship, and that would be acceptable to the various denominations. He thought some communication might be made that there might be some sort of co-operation. Rev. Dr. MACFARLANE added that, as a presbytery, they, of course, could do nothing to that effect. Dr. Cranford had cx proprio mote made such a suggestion at last meeting, and, of course, it was open to him to snake any private communication that might secure that object. - Dr. BRYCE expressed his surprise and regret that any letter should be sent from such an authority to the Presbytery of Edinburgh, and contended that the Mo derator's letter called for no such response. Rev. Dr. STEVEN also said that he regarded the docu ment as unworthy of any Christian Government or governor. - On the question being put, whether the document should be engrossed, Dr. CLARK moved that it should not, but that it should be kept in retentis, which was agreed to. The Moderator was instructed simply to acknowledge that the letter had been received and laid before the Presbytery. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. FRIDAY'S RACES.

WORCESTER, THURSDAY NlGHT.—Nothing which can possibly tend to ensure success has been overlooked by the able management now superintending, on behalf of the public, the Worcester Meetings. Great facility has been afforded in the permanent enlargement of the bet• ting, besides additional arrangements for the comfort and accommodation of the visitors ; matters which, coupled with the already large demand for boxes, indi cate an unusually brilliant result. Since the Summer Meeting the official staff has undergone important alteration in the appointment of Mr. Richard Johnson to the judgment seat, and of Mr. Callaway to the office of starter. The races on Tuesday will commence at twelve o'clock, wad the first chase on 'Wednesday will be run punctually at two. It may also be mentioned that the stakes for the Grand Chase and Hurdle Race are to be paid before eleven o'clock on the morning of running instead of the previous night, as heretofore. Peter was declared not to start for the Annual Steeple Chase on Monday, and Peter Simple on Tuesday. The races commence on the first day at 12.45, and on the second day at 1.30.
