The Coolness of Russia and the enthusiasm of Turkey will yet give rise to " stirring times," on which we have no wish to calculate fur. ther than, if money is scarce and provision dear, none will be the loser if they purchase all their ATTIRE at E. MosEs and Sox's. The corporation reform may create a " stir" rather hostile to the future prospects of " Gog and Magog," but advantageous to the pub lic, who have long felt the benefit of reform in the style and price of DRESS, by patronising the establishment of E. MosEs and SON. Stirring Times" in Australia. The colonists are determined to rai , e one hundred thousand pounds to resist emigration, and if the mother country does not take care of her chickens they are for taking care of themselves, which is best done by purchasing OUTFITS and CLOTHING of the most suitable and saleable kind at E. Mom and SON'S. " Stirrin; Times" are most felt and best managed by E. MosEs and Sos, from the vast accommodation of their establishments, from the employment of the greatest number of the most distinguished artists, and from a system of experience, punctuality, and economy applied to every department —Clothing, llats, Caps, Furs, LADIES' and CHILDREN'S DRESSES, hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., &c. The JUVKNILE ATTIRE prepared fcr the ensuing vacations by E. MOSES and SoN, is more than ever distinguished for variety, comfort, durability and cheapness. The Wholesale Department offers greater advantages than are found at any other establishment. Emigrants are furnished with full lists of OUTFITS for LADIES aid GENTLEMEN, also with ship-sailing information, post free. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like tal;ehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83, R 4,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Deputy PEACOCK, in the absence of Mr. William Simpson, the chairman of the Thames Navigation and Port of London Committee, then brought up the fol lowing important report, which was read, and agreed to be referred back, to be carried into execution : " To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Coun- cil assembled. " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, of your Thames Navigation and Port of London Committee, to whom it has been referred to carry into execution the Thames Navigation Act of Parli ment, do certify that we have had under our consideration the nature and extent of the works at Teddington and Sunbury Locks, rendered necessary by the abstraction of water from the river by the several water companies, pursuant to the Acts of Par liament passed in 1852. "The committee desire to remind this honourable Court of the terms of the agreement between the companies and the Corporation, sealed in the month of June, 1852, whereby the companies undertake to pay annual sums of money towards the expenses of the works above re ferred to. "In pursuance of their duty, under the arrangements agreed upon, the Committee directed Mr. Stephen William Leach, the engineer, to prepare a report upon the subject, to show the extent of the works required, with an estimate of the expense. " Your Committee have received and considered Mr. Leach's report, and concurring therewith, have annexed the same for the information of the Court, with their re commendation that the works should be carried into execu tion, as being positively required for the purposes of navi gation, and in accordance with agreements with the water companies, and the advice of Sir William Cubitt, and Jas. Walker, Esq., the eminent engineers, who were consulted upon the subject when the companies' bills were before Par liament. " All which we submit to this honourable Court. Dated this 24th day of November, 1853. (Signed) "W. A. PEACOCK. WM. CROUCHER. GEO. MEADWAY. GEO. OLIVER. JOSEPH TURNLEY. R. JOHNSTON. R. M. PHILLIPPS. JAMES P. SNELL. H. H. MORTIMER. JEREMIAH EVANS." JAMES HOPPE." The following is the report of Mr. Leach, to w hieh reference is previously made : "To the Worshipful-Committee of Thames Navigation. "Gentlemen,—Agreeably to your directions, I have to report on the proceedings which swear n to be taken to carry into execution those works in t e river which you have approved, to counteract the effects of the abstraction of water by the four grew companies who are about to draw their supply from Hunpton and Thames Ditton. The works in question, and their estimated ex pense are as follows : " Building a new lock at Sunbury ~ £B,OOO 0 0 Dredging the river below it. . 4,125 0 0 Building a new lock at Teddingtoa 12,000 0 0 Dredging the river below it 5,544 0 0 229,669 0 0 "The means at your disposal to enable you to execute these works, are the annual payments to be received from the companies, which, with that from the Lambeth com pany, which is now accruing, together amount to 1,4001. per annum. As to the mode of executing the works I have enumerated, I would recommend that the two locks should be built by contract during the enusuing year. The dredging, I think, would be most adiattageonsly executed by a dredging machine and lighters, provided purposely and belonging to the service, because they would be avail able hereafter for the large amount of this kind of work, which must sooner or later be done, to improve the upper parts of the tideway. You have already a steam-engine and boiler applicable to such a dredgingmachine, the addi tional expense of constructing which would not exceed 2,2001. I consider ten lighters, capable of carrying 50 cubic yards each, would be required—their cost would not exceed 2001. each. " The dredging machine and lighters should be put in hand forthwith, so as to be ready for work at the time of the completion of the new locks. If you decide on build ing these on your own premises, which I beg to submit would be desirable, you would require the undermentioned plant and tools : A plate-bending machine, and fixing it ... £l5O 0 0 A drilling-machine, and fixing BO 0 0 A steam-engine and boiler, to drive the above, and the lathe and punching-machine you already have Enlargement of workshops to contain the above..... 240 0 0 140 0 0 £620 0 0 " The whole of these would, of course, be available hereafter for the necessary repairs, not only to the dredg ing machines and lighters referred-to in this report, but to those about to be provided for the harbour service. The total amount, therefore, required for building the dredging machine and lighters will be— The dredging machine .. .... 22,200 Lighters 2,000 • Plant and tools 620 00 00 00 £4,820 0 0 " STEPHEN WM.

" Police Committee.—Deputy Peacock (in the absence of Alderman Lawrence), for passing the necessary orders for making a rate for the quarter from Christmas to Lady day next, and for appointing the number of constables for the year ensuing." FREEDOM OF THE CITY. Mr. BLAKE brought up the following report, and moved that the' Court azree with the committee, and that it be referred back for execution : " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled. free dom committee, to whom lastit was referred to consider the communication then " We, whose names areh e e n reu th nto e 2 s 4 u t b h sc da ribed y nf of N y e o v u e r mber made by Mr. Chamberlain as to proceedings before him relative • ation and also the statement of the investiga tion Chm case referred by him, and ativ g e t t ak o e t n he i e n ni te plo c y en m s e id n e t ra of t n w o n n-freemen, do certify that, an communication, ic , such and having also consulted with Mr. Solicito r th ereon , an d Chamberlain a i having uponvng beenthe having referred to the bill introduced by your honourable Court into the House of Commons last year, ' For h before eem m u M ni r. atico a n, regu lating elections in the city of London, and conferring r ights and privileges upon persons occupying and rated to premises therein,' and particularly to the preamble of such bill, and also having considered all the circumstances be fore us, and the fact of legal proceedings having been insti tuted against freemen carrying on business in the city of London for employing non-freemen, we beg to recommend the immediate repeal of the second section of the act of Common Council, made and passed on the 4th day of July, 1712, which prohibits the employment of such non-free men, and that the law officers should be directed to pre pare a bill to that effect. " Your committee have also taken into consideration the provisions of the act of Common Council made and passed on the 15th day of April, 1606, recited in the bill of last year, which prohibit non-freemen from carrying on trade in the city of London ; and also other provisions of the act of the 4th day of July, 1712, relating thereto, as well as the act of Common Council of the 22d of November, 1750, for amending the said acts. And we, your committee, beg further to submit our opinion that it is expedient that those acts of Common Council should be altogether repealed, the same being inapplicable to the present times and circum stances, injurious to the occupiers within this City, and in restraint of trade.

JOHN H;ELLIOTT.'' T. BARKLEY. JAMES WATERLOW. B. BOWER." CHARLES SULLY. Mr. BLAKE said that the report related to a mos l im portant matter, and he was quite sure that the h u o Court A at a would give it the attention which it deserved. t n w e t h l v e e m e m o p n l t o h y ago, men t a m o an m o a s f t t e h r e namebu t cher oifn hood of Whit ec h ape l, was complained ojtfhoesbenypehiganhiboetoehuresrr'. party as being a non-freeman employed by a freeman, and the master, a Mr. Woodley, was threatened with proceedings in the Mayor's Court if he continued that person in his employment. Mr. Woodley, anxious to avoid a prosecution of this nature, came to th e chamberlain's o ffi ce a n d t oo k up his workman's freedom. He was told in the chamberlain's office that that would not save him from the conse quences of the penalty he had already incurred, and he accordingly went to an attorney of the Mayor's Court, and, with the consent of the informer, paid a sum of three guineas to stop further proceedings. With the consent of the workman, the master retained a por tion of his wages to repay himself. A short time after wards the man demanded an increase of wages, and re ceived it. In July an altercation took place in the family of Mr. Woodley, which resulted in the dismissal of the man Meers, who left his place in Aug us t, an d w h o two days afterwards gave his late master notice of action for retaining another non-freeman in his employment. Mr. Woodley then came down to the chamberlain's office and took up the second person's freedom, agreeing, as in the last case, to retain a portion of his wages to repay himself. A short time afterwards a third informa tion was laid against Mr. Woodley, who was again obliged to take up another man's freedom. Within a few weeks of the present time, the man Meers, having been thrown out of work, came and threatened Mr. Woodley for refusing to employ him, he (Mr. Woodley) at the time having non-freemen in his employment. Upon this Mr. Woodley came to the chamberlain to re present the hardship of the case, when that officer, in the exercise of his authority, went so far as t o refuse the employment of his name in the action, upon the ground that it was not brought with th e b o n a fide view of enforcing the act of the Common Council, but for the purpose of gratifying malice and extorting money. It could hardly have been supposed that there was still in the statute-book an obsolete law, which had been sud denly revived for the oppression of the citizens. (Hear, hear.) The great majority if not all employers in the City must be in precisely the same condition as Mr. Woodley with respect to employing non-freemen, think ing, of course, they were doing no harm when they pre ferred the services of non-freemen to those of freemen. The present flagrant instance of abuse showed the neces sity for immediately repealing so obnoxious an enact ment —an enactment totally unsuited to the present times and circumstances. (Hear, hear.) •It might be said that the committee had framed their report in con sequence of the appointment of the commission to in quire into matters connected with the corporation, and it might also be said that the Court had neglected or slept over its duties ; but the case now brought forward was the first instance of a complaint ever having been made, within memory of the members of the Court, of such an act of extortion. (Hear.) Deputy HOLT said he must necessarily object to one portion of the report, and could not help thinking that the freedoms committee had meddled with a matter that was not referred to them. (Hear, hear.) He thought the first paragraph was good, and agreed with it ; but when the corporation had, at an outlay of 15,0001., built an orphan school, and had come to the resolution that the funds arising from the taking up of freedoms were to be devoted to the support of that in which every freeman might some day become interested, it was too much to ask the Court to agree to such a wholesale de struction of the interests of the corporation. (Hear, hear.) The second portion of the report, if adopted, would also lead to the idea that the corporation were in fluenced by the fear that the Royal Commissioners had now got their eyes upon them, and that they were be coming patch-work reformers. (Hear, hear.) He moved, as an amendment, that only the first paragraph of the report ho agreed to. Deputy BowEa thought the report ought to be received in its entire state. Deputy HALE said that, in his opinion, the committee had taken the Court by surprise, and had acted most injudiciously by reporting upon a matter not referred to them. Mr. YOUNG, in seconding the amendment, said ho was of the same opinion as Deputy Holt, and was the only member of the committee who had refused to sign the report—a committee consisting of a number of gen tlemen congregated together to destroy the rights and privileges of the city of London. (No, no, and hear, hear.) The committee had exceed e d ie limits of the question which had been referred to them to report upon. _ _ Deputy BEDFORD thought that as soon as freemen, who had originally created the Court, got into it, they turned round and tried to do all they could to destroy its rights and privileges. It would be a disgrace to the corporation if the report were adopted. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—Whenever we wish to draw the attention of the Court to anything like an amendment to what a committee recommend, it is as well to put it be fore the Court in such a way as to prevent the possibility of misunderstanding. It is quite true that the chairman of the committee is pursuing a consistent course (and I will not go into a history of what his notions were $Oll2O time age), and of late he has done his utmost—as I should have done, if I had entertained similar opinions —to in duce the court to take a certain step. The court, in its judgment, and, as I think, in its wisdom, declined to adopt the course recommended by my friend, and thought proper to take an opposite course ; and although I have been charged with accelerating that opposite course, I say it has been the most judicious one which could pos sibly have been suggested, and the results show it. The investigation now going on—and would that the evidence given before that commission were based upon truth— (hear, hear)—if there were not some gross misrepresen tations—grosser than can by possibility be imagined by any one who has ears for truth—l would not mind what the result would be. There is quite room enough to find fault, quite room enough to amend, quite sufficient to show that there might be a very considerable improve. ment upon the present system of the corporation, without descending to the most gross and palpable, and deliberate falsehoods that ever could have entered the mind of man. (Cheers.) Mr. ELLiorr—l wish to know whether my friend means that I gave utterance to them ? Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—I am quite sure it will be patent to every member of the court that my friend Elliott is not the only individual who has given evidence before the commission. Mr. ELLIOTT—That does not answer my question. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—When I made use of the expres sions that fell from me, I did not know that my friend was present, and I had him not.in my thoughts. lam endeavouring to justify a course which the majority of this court have taken in reference to a question which is now in a very extraordinary manner introduced to our notice again. It is the practice and feeling generally, when a man is beaten, that he hesitates before he rises again—and when totally beaten more than once or twicehe must be a bold, not a very timid, individual who would attempt to introduce by a side wind a project in which he has already been openly defeated. If the freedoms committee had done their duty, and no more than was required of them, they would have re p or t e d upon the reference made to them, and they would have carried their report with honour ; but they must now either take it back in disgrace, or have it denuded of that which is not acceptable to the wishes and feelings of the court. (Hear, hear.) If you agree with the report, you stultify yourselves in regard to that which you have over and over again determined upon. lam sure the court will not adopt the motion to agree with the com mittee in their report; but take away from it that which is objectionable, and then let it be passed. I have put upon paper that which I believe represents the views of Deputy Holt—namely, "To agree with the committee in so much of their report as recommended the repeal of such acts of Common Council imposing a penalty on persons employing non-freemen in the city of London." If I had not the greatest respect for the chairman of that committee I would 'move the suspension of the standing order and the dissolution of the freedoms com mittee, as that is a censure which they deserve. It is however, perhaps as well that we s h ou ld take the tnilder' course. (Hear, hear.) . . Mr. JONES was in favour of the amendment. Mr. ELLlOTT—Language was indulged in just now by a gentleman opposite (Mr. H. Taylor) of which, I think, I have a right to demand an explanation. No proper.' and consistent explanation has yet been given. I will not say so ungentlemanly, but so unusual an attack was made upon the sworn statement of myself, sitting di rectly opposite my friend, who used the words " wilful and deliberate falsehood," that I had a right to ask him whether he alluded to me. lie avoided the answer. I dare say he thought he to acted very triumphantly, but as a proper explanation , was not given I have only to say that a gentleman who will stand up before his fellow-citizens and make such an accusation as that, and then escape from giving an answer, is a gentleman, in my opinion, beneath contempt. (Cries of " order," and confusion.) Mr. H. L. TA.YLOR—I thought I exculpated you alto gether. If you can satisfy your own mind that my ob servations should be applied to you I can't help it . : swer , Mr. Erziorr—That is an old-fashioned way °f t '7„ swe r answer in a question of this nature ; you could get that town. at any pothouse in the City, or in any coun (Much confusion.) t i s fied with Mr. DR JERSEY—Mr. Elliott oht to not imPu te the explanation of Mr. Taylor, wh o V no tin his mind anything to a gentleman whom he h ad at the time.

The LORD MAYOR—I must say that it is for Mr. Taylor himself either to give an answer, or to withhold it. These are dangerous imputations to make, and I should, as an individual, feel aggrieved when charged without an explanation. Deputy BENNOCH rose several times amidst consider able confusion, and appealed to Mr. T a ylor to answ er the question that he had already put to him, and failing in getting a reply, The LoRD MAYOR took the sense of the Court upon the question whether Deputy Harrison, who was on his legs, or Deputy Bennoch was in possession of the chair. Almost every hand was immediately held up in favour of the former gentleman ; upon which the latter exclaimed (alluding, we believe, to Deputy Harrison), "Then I shall know what course to take with regard to that gentleman." Deputy HARRISON then said he should support the amendment. Alderman SALOMONS censured the language which had been used in the course of the debate as likely to lead to a breach of the peace, unless the Court inter posed its authority to prevent it. Mr. BLAKE having replied, The amendment of Deputy Holt was carried by a large majority, there being but four hands held up for the original motion. GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY. Messrs. Begby and Chatteris were re-appointed to examine and audit the accounts of the company for the ensuing twelve months, under the provisions of the 14th and 15th Vic., cap. 69, and the resolution of the Court of the 18th December, 1851.

The poor woman loses her money and her time, and is glad to get off without being locked up. Or it may be that the baker gives her in charge, and the poor creature is driven at once to defend herself at a cost she cannot afford. Hundreds of such cases occur in the course of a year, which the public never hear of, and there are thousands of poor people who cannot tell good coin from bad, unless it is very bad indeed, but who take it in faith of the respec tability of the parties with whom they deal. Generally, there are no witnesses, and, as before observed, a ser vant will do the best to clear her or himself, and try to make out that the change was given elsewhere. This is a simple, fair, and impartial statement of a g rea t griev ance that lies at one's door individually, though collec tively it concerns all, and to the poor is of vital inte rest. Now, to "give and take" has ever been consi dered English —it i s s y non ymous with our national and expressive phrase of " fair play," and among English. men is so understood. But these bar and counter placards of " no money changed" are not fair towards those who cannot tell good money from bad, or who cannot read, or who may be hurried for time, and for many other reasons. If they insist upon enforcing these . measures, this "taking without giving, the public ought to have some guarantee that they never give bad money—some certain proof, in short, that such parties never take it. Were this done, it would be the heaviest and surest blow ever struck at the "smashers," and such a check on the circulation of spurious coin as that " money market" never received. Let the Mint issue small placards, free, to be had on application, and every tradesman be compelled to apply for them, and to affix such in their shops, and to keep on their counters such tests as the Mint may suggest, and enforce, for th e de tection of bad money. Let the public have access to these tests fairly and openly, and free of charge. Lot them be. such as a child cannot mistake. Faraday would" - suggest fifty such in as few seconds—clear, simple, and convincing —so as not to leave even a ledge for doubt to cling to. Such a plan would check crime, be a saving of untold thousands a year to the country, remove one great incentive to evil which often leads to greater crimes, and be a protection and a benefit to the poor and ignorant, for even children—as our columns have shown, over and over again —have been made scape goats of by these coiners, and their tender years have disarmed the power of the law. This would require no bill—the Legislature need not be troubled with it. Like Mrs. Glasse'share, it nee d only begin with " first catch your shilling," and there would be no fear but what hundreds of thousands would follow the re ciDe It is this difficulty of t e lli ng b ad money from good that is th e e coiner's chief market—th a t encourages him " perfection.

Reynolds (1346), at present serving in the Blenheim, 60, screw steam guard-ship, to the Banshee paddle-wheel steam-vessel, of 350-horse power, formerly employed as a mail packet on the Holyhead, and subsequently on the Mediterranean station. Lieutenant Reynolds brought home the Me dina steam-packet, of 312-horso power, from the Me diterranean station, to be paid off at Wo3lwich in the , early part of the present year, and he is to have the , command of the Banshee for service as a mail packet on that station. Commodore Henry Elen went on board the Banshee yesterday in the basin at Wool wich fin• the purpose of inspecting her previous to being put in commission. • Clerk in Charge—John Sweatman (1345), from the Neptune, 120. guard ship of ordinary at Portsmouth, to the Rhadainanthus paddle-wheel steam troop and store vessel at Woolwich, fitting for the Mediterranean station. Clerk—George W. Anderson (1846), recently serving in the Archer steam-sloop, paid off at Woolwich last month, to the Neptune, vice Sweatman, Acting Assistant-Surgeon Archibald Stevenson (1852) is confirmed as assistant-surgeon to the Rodney, 90, on the Mediterranean station. Clerks' Assistants—W. S. Mould, to the Boscawen, 73, at Chatham, fitting as flag-ship for the North Ame rican and West India station ; Byron Stratford to the Neptune, guard•ship of ordinary, at Portsmouth. WOOLWICH, DEC. 8. The Prometheus, 5, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, of2oo - power, in charge of John London (acting), chief engineer, is being rigged in the basin at this port, and is expected to be commissioned immediately, for the pur pose of being employed in protecting the fisheries on the north coast of Scotland, in the roam of the Archer screw steam-sloop, withdrawn from that service. The Rosamond steam-sloop, when last fitted at Wool wich, was supplied with an excellent bath, in front of the engine-room, on the lower deck. The bath has ample room for that great luxury, and has pipes con nected with it for cold, hot, or vapour baths, and will be available, under certain regulations, for the officers, engineers, and crew of the vessel. The importance of adding baths, where such facilities are afforded, on board steam-vessels, is incalculable, as it has been observed that those who daily laved their bodies in water in hot climates almost invariably escaped the yellow fever of the West Indies, or experienced it so s li g htl y th at i t seldom proved fatal in their cases ; and the stokers who were employed when the steam was up in ‘ hot cli ma t es , asunrdg epidemicse coal-dust ons o a f d h the e t r o i adhering h t os vessels them, s tash e beinghcraevwe crews been and were under the n ecess it y o f often 'washing their bodies when relieved fro m th e i r t urn of duty, to get rid f s ror o efomni l t i ah a r l et ) kh l i e eemd i dp n iabs h yl ; at t hbe c sel l e im a t es .

The marked testimony in favour of life assurance evinced by the Legislature In the exemption from income tax of the premiums paid for the benefit of a surviving family, is deserving the most serious attention of all classes ; not only on account of the actual saving, but also on account of the high estimation in which it proves that the system of life assurance generally is held by the Government of the country.

Translated flrom the German of Dr. PICKFORD "Dr. Pickford "s known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German 'medical literature. This is the first time, he informs no, that he has addressed himself to the non-Medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his sower to correct." —London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa hisers,iand' Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that manyhundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less Importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money.— —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, Juno 16, 1852. London: H. Balliere, 219, Regent-street. BRIDGE. At two o'clock a petition from R. Wilson, Esq., and Messrs. Fenning, of " Fenning's Wharf," Southwark, as to the embarkation and debarkation of passengers by steam-boats,' &c., praying that the plan proposed, and numbered "2" in the Navigation Committee's Report, might not be adopted, though recommended by the said committee. Mr. DAKIN had a notice upon the addenda paper upon the same subject ; it ran as follows ; ." That this court do consider further the report of the Thames Navigation Committee relative to steam-boat landings on the south side of London-bridge, ordered to lie upon the table on the 20th of March, 1851, with a view to improved ac commodation for the public being provided." This proposition, together with the petition of the ap plicants, was ordered to be referred to the Navigation Committee, for their further consideration and report. ENCROACHMENTS ON THE BED OF THE RIVER AT MILTON, NEXT GRAVESEND. Mr. H. W. VALLANCE presented a petition to the court from Mr. George Simmons, of Milton, next Gravesend. The case has appeared in our repot-Li of ' the proceedings before the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the state of the corporation. Upon this occasion the petitioner prays "for the assistance of your honourable court, and that your honourable court will order prompt proceedings to be taken to enforce the removal of the rubbish, earth, and dirt, so that the proper navigation and ancient use of that part of the river be restored to the condition it was in before the encroachment complained of." Referred for ewnination and report. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT IN CORNRILL. Mr. E. DAVIS proposed the following motion, which was unanimously rejected, viz. :—" That, as public ne cessity imperatively demands an immediate improve ment at the eastern end of Cornhill, by the removal of the houses forming the corners of Bishopsgate-street and Gracechurch-street, it be referred to a committee to carry such improvement into effect, by giving at once parliamentary notices to procure legislative powers dur ing the ensuing session of Parliament, and to frame a scheme by which the funds may be raised necessary for the above-named purpose." POOR WIDOWS OF FREEMEN. Deputy BEDFORD moved, " That the sum of five hun dred pounds be given by this Court in aid of the fund arising from the gift of persons on their admission to the freedom of this City, annually distributed by the Cham berlain on St. Thomas's Day, to the poor widows of freemen ; and that it be referred to the committee for general purposes to give directions for the appropria tion of the same agreeably to the former orders of the Court." Deputy HOLT seconded the motion, which WAS put and carried. OFFICE OF PRINCIPAL CLERK TO THE CHAMBERLAIN. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, in moving " That it be an in struction to the officers and clerks committee, in the event of a vacancy arising by resignation or otherwise, of the principal clerk to the Chamberlain, to consider if any alteration is desirable to be made, either as regards the duties or expenses of the:office, and to report thereon to this Court prior to any nomination or appointment thereto," said he could not help alluding to a circular letter announcing the resignation of a very highly re spected, gifted, and independent officer connected with the corporation ' Mr. B. Scott. (H ear. ) There was no man connected with the corporation for many years more universally beloved and respected than this officer, and he believed that his retiring from their service would be regretted by every member of the. Court. It was bounden duty o f th e C ourt to take care that the office the about to be v aca t e d s ho uld be creditably filled, e cially as it w as one o f the offices connected with spe t chamber ov er w hi c h the corporation had a he direct con trol. (Hea r , h ear. ) Mr JONES seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. The Court then adjourned. NAVAL AIDE DE CAMP TO THE QUEEN. The Queen, on the nomination of the First Lord of the Admiralty, has conferred the appointment of Aide de Camp to her Majesty, vacant by the promotion of Rear Admiral the Hon. M.
