It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which Cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdoin and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and iticonseqUenc es Mayte avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangementto which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, arid.is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless 'of the taunts andenvy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence,' through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In 'selecting thi' department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, Assumed. foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums; have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of li, and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients' wishing to consult Dr, LA'MERT hould first obtain a copy of his work on • SELF•PRESERVATION. • A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debilits, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

The fact strikes us as somewhat strange that at the same moment a contest identical in spirit and in tactics should be in progress on the banks of the Danube and in the manufacturing districts of England. The Russian Czar and the English operative equally place their reliance upon the ex haustion of their opponents. There is in either case the same injustice of the original demand, and that demand it is sought to enforce in either case by precisely similar means. Either belligerent seems to lose sight of the important truth that he is play ing with a double-edged sword, which strikes him who wields it with the most terrible effect. Granted that it is to be a contest of the longest purse, can the Russian Emperor in the long run expect to match his resources and his credit against those of united Europe ? Equally so with the ope rative—can he entertain any reasonable expectation that the funds which the committees and associations are able, to raise under the pressure of the present feverish excitement can hold out against the capital of manufacturing England ? That the manufacturers may suffer grievous damage we deny not for one moment. Many a princely concern may be shorn of its proud proportions ; much business may be transferred from the English manufacturing dis tricts to the shores of foreign countries; but what profit the operatives see for themselves in such a result we are wholly at a loss to discover. They may , feel well assured that the battle has at length been accepted in the spirit in which it has been offered. The manufacturers are well aware that it is not now a question of an advance, more or less considerable, in the rate of wage. The question between employers and employed resolves itself now into the very simple one—which of the two, for the future, shall assign the proportions to be observed between wages and profits ? If this most vital point should be decided against the manufac turer, and he should not be able to attract fresh and untainted hands to his mill, one alternative only remains for him, which is, to wind up his concerns with all convenient speed, and to transfer his capital, his skill, and his energy to other trades—and, if need be, to foreign lands. There is no particular reason of which we are aware why millowners should sacrifice their fortunes and the best endeavours of their lives for the sake of others. If a man should desire to establish a cot ton-mill to-morrow, he would naturally take into account the vicissitudes in the price of the raw material, the varying rates of freight, the price of labour, the probable vents for his wares in different quarters of the globe, the contingencies of bad debts and delayed payments, and the wear and tear of his machinery and stock in trade. It is difficult enough to form an accurate judgment upon all these points, even under ordinary conditions ; but, if the intending manufacturer should be informed that the rate of wages is to be a matter wholly be yond his control, he would simply be a madman if he engaged in the pursuit. What applies to the intending manufacturer equally applies to him who has already embarked his capital in the trade. It may give a heavy blow to his fortunes to escape from his luckless vocation ; but, at any cost, the thing must be done, for every day makes his case worse, and ; brings him nearer and nearer to the brink of'l,neyitable ruin. We publish this day a letter signed " An Em ployer," which will sufficiently inform our readers of the present condition of affairs in the Pres ton district. The unwilling seceders are coerced to follow in the steps of the agitators and the agitating committees. Concession after concession on the part of the masters has been met by demand after demand on the part of the operatives. Can we wonder that at length they hold their hands and refuse to give the last stroke to their own stability ? It appears that in the district of which we are speaking there is a varying rate of wage. Some masters give more, some less, but all are equally required to make good a further advance of 10 per cent. The name of one firm is men- tioned—that of Birley Brothers—who are at pre sent at variance with their workpeople. The dispute arose with regard to one particular kind of cloth, for which the firm had been in the habit of paying Bd. They offered to advance to 81d. — a small fraction under the 10 per cent. claimed. The offer was refused. It was not the extra farthing which was wanted, but the absolute con . tri over the amount of wages. A second case is that of Mr. J. Naylor. His operatives in March last received an advance. They expressed them selves perfectly • satisfied with the arrangement, even until four days before the recent strike. When their employer offered to yield to their fur ther importunity, and to make an additional con cession, which, taken together with the amount of the .advance in March, would make up the 10 per cent. additional now claimed, again this offer was refused. ' But we must not confine the illustration simply to two firms. It appears that 'the Masters' Association met some short time back, and agreed to yield to the demand of the workpeople so far as 'to give them an advance " not exceeding" 10 per cent. The qUalification was, of course, introduced to *meet the cases of those employers who had al ready made an advance in their rate of wages. This universal concession was, in the first instance, accepted with great satisfaction by the workpeople. They were not, however, independent agents; 'and found themselves under the necessity of consulting their committees and directors. Upon consulta tion had, the concession which in the first instance had been so gladly accepted was universally rejected. The operatives either struck, or gave the required notice. Then it was that the Masters' Assothation met, and resolved to form themselves into a body for mutual defence. The consequence we now seo in the shape of the continuous strike on one side, and the closed mills on the other. We feel a most perfect assurance that nothing will ever induce the masters to acquiesce in the terms of the men in their present form. They will rather suffer themselves to be driven from the trade than consent to carry it on under the condi tions with which they are threatened. This is one possible result of the agitation. Already, from the other side of the Atlantic, we receive the first proofs of mechanical genius as applied to agricul ture and to various objects of great practical use in daily life. Surveys have been diligently taken of the coal fields in the North American continent. The one favourable point which has hitherto given us and maintained for us the lead was the cheaper rate of wage paid in the British Isles. If this, too, is to be turned against the British manufacturer, we may well look forward to the time when we shall be exporting our iron for the use of foreign work ' men. But the first and most inevitable conse quence of the extinction of British manufactures would be the disappearance from the earth of the `race of English operatives and artisans. They are .the children of the power-loom and spinning-jenny, and , by the activity or idleness of the English mills they stand or fall. We are well aware that it will never come to this. In the stern presence of starvation and misery in their direst shapes the operatives must needs give way. Every hour during which they remain in their present false position they alienate from them selves the sympathies of the public, and when they do return to sobriety of thought, they have nothing to expect but a settlement more and , more unfavour able, and conditions yet more harsh.

Barry Du Bar_ry and Co., 77, Regent-street, London; also , Fortnum, Mason, and 1 Co., purveyors to her Majesty, Piccadilly, The commission appointed to inquire into the state o corporation of the city of London, sat yesterday at the offices of the Treasury, in Downing-street. The commissioners present were, Mr. Labouchere (the chair man), Mr. Cornwall Lewis, and Sir John Patteson. The entire sitting was occupied with the examination of Mr. James Ackland, secretary to the city of London Municipal Reform Association. Mr. Ackland, having been sworn at his own request, proceeded to state that he resided in the city of London, and acted as an electoral agent, both with regard to the election of Members of Parliament and the appointment to civic offices. He was an inchoate freeman of the city of London, and had been so for half a century ; but had never thought it worth while to take up his freedom. At the commencement of the present year he had re ceived, in common with thousands of other persons in the same position, notice from the city corporation that, unless he took up his freedom forthwith, proceedings would be instituted in the city courts to compel him to do so. This had induced him, and many others simi larly aggrieved, in July last to form the Association for the Reform of the Corporation of the city of London, of which he had the honour to be the secretary. The asso ciation comprised persons who desired the reform of the corporation on general principles, and also gentlemen connected with the Manchester and other warehouses in the city ; but the larger portion of its members were unable to pay the fee of 61. ss. 4d., which the corpora tion demanded for granting permission to carry on a trade. It numbered 1,200 members in all, who were householders in the city of London, and had paid on their entrance into the society a registration fee of Is. each ; any other contributions being perfectly voluntary. The objects of the society were two-fold ; first, to secure to all rated occupiers in the city an equal right to full participation in the privileges now monopo lised by the freemen ; and second, to defend its members against any prosecution on the part of the corporate officials to extort fees from those whom it was sought to coerce into taking up their freedom. The society had never formally expressed any opinion as to what the constitution of the corporation of London should be, but had rather desired primarily to expose the abuses which existed in that body. The complaints of the society were directed against the system, and not against the conduct of individual officers ; and, indeed, it was rather disposed to think that the officers of the corporation were victims to that system in common with those who were claiming their rights. The Chairman asked if Mr. Acland had not himself formed some opinion as to the defects in the constitution of the corporation, and likewise with regard to the ne• cessary remedy ? Mr. Acland said, that he had always been of opinion that anything in the shape of exclusiveness and mono poly was prejudicial to the general interests of the community. The Chairman said that Mr. Acland was probably conversant with the report on the city of London, which was presented in 1837 by the commissioners appointed to inquire into municipal corporations in England and Wales. That report was divided into certain heads, and perhaps it would be convenient if Mr. Acland would follow that arrangement, beginning first with the rela tion of the city to the metropolis at large. Mr. Acland—The commissioners of 1834 seemed to have been impressed with the idea that the area of the city of London could be advantageously extended over a considerable portion, if not the Whole of the metro polis. Now, the parliamentary boroughs of the metro polis had of late years had it in their power at any time for a charter of incorporation if they were so minded, but in no one instance had they done so. The Commis. sioners of 1834 stated that, where the size of provincial towns bad greatly increased, it had been held desirable to take in the suburbs as a part of the original town, thus enlarging the municipal area ; but then it must be remembered that had not been invariable, as the case of Manchester and Salford proved. Sir John Patteson -- But Manchester and Salford were entirely new creations. Mr. Acland—But the argument could not be very co gent that large contiguous, populations should be joined into one municipality, when the principle was not car ried out in a place where the population did not amount to one-fifth of that of the metropolis. The Chairman—Are you of opinion that it would not be desirable to extend the limits of the city of London ? Mr. Acland—Decidedly so ; because the area of the city of London had a speciality which, he thought, would be overlaid and destroyed by so vast and incon gruous an addition to its bulk as that of the whole me. tropolis. The city of London was the great commercial entrepot of the empire ; and if all the Government offices were not there, at least the Custom-house. the Post office, the Royal Exchange, the dock companies, the Bank, and all the great monetary establishments, were within its limits. By such an extension, therefore, as had been recommended, it; commercial character and utility would be entirely over-ridden. Liverpool was now threatening to rival the port of London ; but if London had only fair play, and was relieved from the onerous burden and difficulties with which a monopolist municipality impeded its commerce, there could be no ' fear of its successfully maintaining its position. The Chairman—That is diverging into another point. Mr. Acland—The Parliamentary boroughs of the me tropolis had shown no anxiety to obtain municipal in stitutions, and he would contend that there was a very large population on the south side of the Thames which was legally part and parcel of the city of London, but which was now deprived of the franchise, though it was to some extent burdened with the obligations connected with the municipality of the city, and which struggled now to assert its right to be treated as an integral part of the city of London—he alluded to, the borough of Southwark. [The witness then quoted ancient docu ments and royal letters patent in order to show that the borough of Southwark, and the municipal ward of Bridge-without, ought to share equal municipal privi leges with wards on the north side of the Thames.] The Chairman—Are you in favour of assimilating the ward of Bridge-without with the other side of the river ? Mr. Acland's views did not exactly come to that. The inhabitants of Southwark were in this extraordi nary position, that the city of London claimed them for its own purposes, but refused to concede them the rights of citizens ; and on the other hand, if Southwark applied to the Privy Council for a charter of in corporation for itself, it would be told that it could not obtain one because it formed part of the city of London. I think it would be impossible, if the people of South wark were made citizens of London, that the low-lying district of the metropolis would be efficiently drained; but if Southwark could have an independent munici pality, and Lambeth also had a similar municipality, the whole of South London could then harmoniously co operate together in providing an effective system of drainage and water supply. The Chairman—Which alternative do you, therefore, prefer. Mr. Acland—Decidedly that Southwark should be separated from the City of London. It would, how. ever, be desirable to test the feeling of the inhabitants of Southwark on the subjeot. The City of London and the county of Surrey exercised a concurrent jurisdiction in Southwark. The Chairman—lf Southwark were separated from the city of London, would it not pro tanto diminish the com mercial importance of the city of London ? Mr. Acland thought the two were already practically separated. The state of Southwark was a discredit to the City as regarded the conservancy of the river's bank. The City took all the dues upon a bank extending four miles, but conceded none of the rights of citizenship. The Chairman—Southwark is, as it were, an apptr tenance of the city of London. Mr. Acland should not like to call it so ; it was part and parcel of the City, and formed a twenty-sixth alder manry. Mr. Cornewall Lewis—lf, in order to unite South wark to the City it would be necessary to separate it from the county of Surrey, could that be done by a mere ordinance of the Common Council. Mr. Arland believed that the Court of Common Coun cil always had had the power of giving the ward of Bridge -without those rights of municipal representation which they had always witheld from it. Mr. Cornewall Lewis—lf you retained the present boundaries of the city of London, and gave to South wark and Lambeth distinct municipalities, would you leave the rest of the metropolis without organisation Mr, Acland—He would grant municipal organisation wherever it was desired, but force it nowhere. He would concede municipal organisation to Southwark, %Amin ster, St. Marylebone, the Tower Hamlets, and Finsbury; and then he thought it would be possible to obtain a real common council, by delegation, for the whole metro polis ; to carry out the general purposes of drainage and water supply, for instance. He did not think there ought to be a separate jurisdiction in each metropolitan borough for the police, or the drainage and water sup ply, or for the paving and lighting of the streets, but that there should be'one general jurisdiction for these functions. Mr. Cornewall Lewis—What, then, would be the functions of your local councils ? Mr. Acland—Wardmote functions rather convey my idea. Mr. Cornewall Lewis—You know you have already stripped them of the police, sewerage, water supply, paving, and lighting. What other functions remain of a municipal nature ? Mr. Acland—The administration of justice. I think you might entrust the appointment of the paid magis tracy to the municipality. They would be paid from the local rates. I would assimilate the administration of justice in the city of London to the practice which pre vailed in other cities throughout the country. Mr. Cornewall Lewis—Where a town is divided into two boroughs, do you know if the system works harmo. niously ? Mr. Acland—My personal knowledge only extends to he instance of Manchester and Salford, and there, I believe, it works harmoniously. Mr. C. Lewis—Does the metropolis appear to you too large for one municipal corporation? Mr. Acland—lndeed it does. The Chairman—Will you be good enough now to make any observations you have to offer on the present constitution of the corporate body of the city of London? Mr. Acland—The corporation, I take leave' to state, is in bad odour among the inhabitants of the city of London. Until the year 1835 the freemen of the city were necessarily members of a company, or guild, but in 1834, subsequent to an inquiry, the corporation passed an ordinance declaring that any person might acquire his freedom under the direct authority of their court without being primarily a member of any one of those guilds. The position of a freeman ought to be a privi lege, but in the city of London it was not so regarded. Down to the year 1834 the fine on admission to the roll of the freemen of the city amounted to 301. 12s. 6d., and from the year 1800 to 1834 the number of free men admitted annually was 1,000. Between 1835 and 1837 the redemption fine was reduced to 101. 12s. 6d. ; it was afterwards reduced still further, until it reached the sum of 31. 6s. 4d., with the addition of 31. for the stamp. During the years when the fine amounted to 101. 12s. 6d., the number admitted fell from 1,000 to 877 annually ; and in the last of the three periods, when the fine had been reduced still lower, the number of freemen annually admitted actually sunk to 350. Mr. C. Lewis—To what do you attribute that result ? Mr. Acland— To the bad odour in which the corpo ration has fallen, and the undesirableness of entering it, in addition to the natural dislike of Englishmen to com pulsion in matters connected with their own interest. The Court of Common Council had at different times resolved to force persons to take up their freedom, but in this intention they had been obstructed by the Court of Aldermen, the two bodies often pulling in opposite directions in thi' matter. Last year the corporation introduced a bill into Parliament to put an end to any further exercise of the power of compelling occupiers and shopkeepers to become freemen before they would be allowed to carry on their trade in the City ; and for the purpose of enfranchising 10/. householders and abo lishing the levying of tolls. That bill was, however, rejected in Parliament, by reason of the opposition of the livery. The measure was a compromise between the two branches of the corporation—the Court of Aldermen agreeing to it because it did not seek to re form them, and the Court of Common Council thinking it good so far as it went, and only defective in not deal ing with the Court of Aldermen. Nothwithstanding, however, that the corporation had promoted such a bill, they had allowed their officers subsequently to prosecute occupiers who had not taken up their freedom. The wealthy companies, such as the Gold smiths' and Merchant Tailors', do not compel the freemen exercising the handicrafts to take up their freedom ; but the Butchers, Cooks, and other small companies had recourse to such a pro ceeding for the purpose of increasing their funds. In the months of March and April last, 4,032 occupiers, of whom I myself was one, were thus prose cuted in the Lord Mayor's Court, to make them take up their freedom ; and many of the actions were suc cessful, and several poor occupiers had their goods seized and sold to pay the expenses. Of these 4,032 persons prosecuted, it was found that 414 had already taken up their freedom, at a cost of 31. ss. fid. each ; 764 pleaded poverty, and were allowed an extension of time for complying, for which indulgence they had, however, to pay half-a-crown a head ; and 164 more were privileged—that was, they were occupiers within certain parts of the City, where the inhabitants aro not compelled to take up their freedom. Other 698 also claimed exemption, on what ground was not stated ; and 1,928 were either dead, removed, or contemptuous Therefore it was clear that the corporation did not keep a correct register, and did not know who composed its own commonalty. The alderman had to sign a list of the persons in their wards entitled to the municipal franchise on the Ist of November, and the way in which these lists were made out was by the beadles sending round to ask the different inhabitants whether or not they had ever taken up their freedom. Surely, with a host of officials receiving salaries amounting to a total of 100,0001. annually, the corporation ought to have a correct muster-roll of its own commonalty. Mr. Cornewall Lewis—You say that before 1835 no person could be admitted to the freedom of the City without the intervention of a company, and that in that g y r e om a u r rn.tdlAi upon is ci c a o n n d d w— i h tin was li o cahstshuamt ec r ht e ha p an e tg a repealed. D change was w a sm o you ade kw h consequent no upon the municipal inquiry made by the previous commis sioners, who had expressed a strong feeling on the subject. • Mr. Cornewall Lewis—But the resolution was passed before the report of the commissioners was presented ? Mr. Acland—Yes ; but the corporation possessed the means of knowing the opinions of the commissioners previously. Mr. C. Lewis—Do you think it desirable that the mu nicipal franchise ought to be dependent on connection with a trading company ? Mr. Acland—o ; inasmuch as the trading companies have lost their utility. Mr. C. Lewis—At present the freemen are a mixed body, some of them being members of companies, and some not; would you propose that in future the franchise should be altogether without reference to whether the person is a member of a company or not ? Mr. Acland—l think so, certainly ; but I mu not putting forth any particular scheme—l would rather that that should come as a necessary corollary. In the Tower Ward—a very singular case—there are 60 s 4 o that mu nicipal voters on the list issued by the alderman, a n d n B o 9 t ; freemen the number of persons lOt.r ated aetetors who are is only 5 not only are parliamentary el on the municipal list, but persons are on it who are not 101. occupiers. The whole system is an anomaly. There are seven classes of freemen—viz., freemen of the corpo ration (that is, independent of any company), who are not rated at 101, and therefore not municipal electors ; freemen of the corporation who are rated at 101., but who, not being on the parliamentary register, are not municipal electors ; freemen rated at 101. who are on the municipal register, and who are therefore municipal electors ; then there are the freemen of the companies who are not rated at 101., and therefore not on the par-i liamentary or municipal register ; then freemen of the companies rated at 101., but not on the register, and not intitled to be on the municipal register ; then freemen of the companies who are liverymen and parliamentary electors ; and freemen of the companies who are livery men, but residing beyond the seven miles, and not par liamentary electors. In the Queenhithe ward every 12 occcupiers send a member to the Court of Common Council ; and in the Bread-street ward every 13 send a member. In the latter ward there was once a contest, and 6,0001. was spent over a scrutiny, by which the number of votes was reduced to 11 for one side, and 10 for the other. Such a system clearly could not last, and must undergo extensive alteration in order to ensure proper municipal government. The Chairman—Do you think it desirable to diminish the member of Common Cou ncilmen ? to diminish body.s t vi h er e ab p l e r es greatlyent limits of the the T M h n r e u . m e A b c h e a l r a i r n o m d f a — t nh It s p e re presentat ive body.

Mr. Acland—•The interests of the members of the Corporation and the interests of commerce are at issue. For instance, the London Docks were opposed by the Corporation because it thought they would interfere with the dues which it levied upon ships. The Chairman—Can you suggest any mode of con necting more closely the Corporation of London and the great merchants of the City / Mr. Acland—Yes, but the Corporation is utterly ir remediable in its present state—it is an anti-commercial body, and it refused to assist in the making of docks when they were necessary, to accommodate the shipping of the port of London. It opposed, at an expense of 7,0001., the extension of the Blackwall Railway to the City ; and after it was beaten on that in the year 1845, when the Direct Manchester line was projected, it re fused the application for permission to bring that railway into the City. Mr. C. Lewis —Did the opposition you speak of pro ceed from the Court of Aldermen or the Common Council ? Mr. Acland—l don't remember, but it could not have proceeded exclusively from the Court of Aldermen. The Court of Common Council has the aldermen as a part of its components. Mr. C. Lewis—ls it not often inconvenient that a small portion of London should oppose bills in Parlia ment affecting the whole of the metropolis ? Mr. Aciand—lt is. Mr. C. Lewis—And may not the City often be sup porting its own interests, while• it is injuring the in terests of the rest of the metropolis ? Mr. A.cland—l believe that is often the case. The corporation of the city represents but a small portion of the area and the population of the metropolis, and a minority of the area and population and rateability even of the city of London itself. The Chairman —Will you go to the next point, the governing bodies ? Mr. Acland—l would first call your attention to the anti-commercial dues exacted in the City. The corn metage alone last year amounted to 9,596/. The cor poration asserted a right to measure everybody's corn by its own bushel, whether the owner wanted it mea sured or not. The Chairman—ls it measured without there being a sale ? Mr. Acland—lt is. An action had been pending for the last 14 years, and it was still undecided, against the house of Combe, Delafield, and Co., because that firm malted its barley out of London, and transferred it from the malthouse to its brewery in its own barges, and the corporation insisted on measuring it, although the firm did not want it measured. The fellowship of porters had also instituted an action against the same firm, to recover 10,0001. for porterage which had never been performed. The metage was so onerous an impost, that to escape it cargoes were frequently sent away from Lon don, without breaking bulk, to the port of Liverpool, there to be discharged. A toll of 2d. was also levied upon carts belonging to non-freemen on entering the City, and upon carts of freemen carrying the property of non-freemen. These tolls amounted in 1852 to 5,1801., the sum received by the corporation from the contractors ; and it was not extravagant to say that the cost of collection and the contractors' profits raised the sum exacted from the public to double that amount. The inconvenience and stoppages caused to the traffic •f the city consequent upon the collection of such a large sum in separate twopences could easily be imagined. Before he left the question of the freemen, he ought to have told them that the average constituency of each Common Councilman was twenty-nine in some wards, and as low as twelve in others ; and the average rate able property represented by each Common Councilman was 1,9431., and in some wards as low as 7001. He would now come to the third head of the inquiry —the governing bodies, which were the Court of Aldermen, the Court of Common Council, and the Court of Com mon Hall. The Chairman—Begin with the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Acland—The Court of Aldermen is composed of twenty-six tradesmen and members of professions. It comprises two auctioneers, two wharfingers, two stock brokers, two builders, one ironmaster, a retired saddler, a china manufacturer, a bookseller, a silk manufacturer, a drysalter, a stationer, a retired office-keeper, a corn factor, a winemerchant, a coal factor, an upholsterer, a tea dealer, a printseller, a grocer, a solicitor, a clock maker, a salesman, and a banker. They are magistrates by virtue of their office, and elected for life ; they decide the vilidity of corporate elections, and even of the eleic tions of their own body. They are elected from the municipal lists issued by the aldermen of the several wards. There is a money influence frequently brough to bear upon the election of an alderman. The Chairman—What do you mean by a money is fluence ! Mr. Acland—l mean that money is paid by or for a candidate who desires to be elected an alderman. The Chairman—Do you mean that there is bribery at the elections ? Mr. Arland —I mean that there is bribery, be it in bribery or treating. That expense is incurred in order to induce men to vote for an alderman who would not otherwise vote for him ; and that seven of the present body, whom I am not prepared to name, but I am pre pared to establish the fact by satisfactory evidence if necessary, have been elected by a direct money influence, exerted by themselves through other parties, by money payments. The Chairman—Do you mean to state that in your opinion there was what may fairly be called a corrupt expenditure of money in influencing the election of alder men ? Mr. Acland—There is no question about it. Mr. C. Lewis—Do you mean payments made from the private funds of the candidates ? Mr. Acland—Yes ; I have spoken of seven cases at least, but I believe there have been more. Mr. C. Lewis—Do you believe that this has been a recent practice ? Mr. Acland—l believe it has been the practice for many years, but not very recently. I think there have been fewer cases of corruption recently than there were formerly, but that may arise from a variety of circum stances. A party may be a candidate in a ward where there is no opposition, and where therefore there is less occasion for the introduction of a money power. The Chairman—Do you believe the wards differ materially as to their comparative purity ? Mr. Acland—There is no question about it. lam satisfied money influence is most exerted where the wards are small. Mr. C. Lewis—You say you are not prepared to men tion the names of the seven persons who have exercised a corrupt influence at the election of aldermen —are you prepared to indicate any means by which that statement will be supported ? Mr. Acland—l shall be prepared to put before you witnesses who can establish it. Mr. C. Lewis—Then I presume that these witnesses will name the parties ? Mr. Acland—l have no doubt of it. An alderman possesses very considerable influence and patronag e e. ~Ze for the city of London, and he is a magistrate possess'u office is, therefore, coveted by persons w. pecuniary means. Mr. C. Lewis—ls there ever any trea tin g ; and are the public-houses open ? e very p - Mr. Acland—l believe the public ans ar ' nent agents on these occasions.Thefuenters mun i c i palromiregof; public houses, smoking-rooms, electors ect ore of London are to a far greater extent politicians congregate, th a n the occupiers wh o h ave not the municipal franchi se. They herd together, and th e more or less influence with thos e sma ll men publican has make has and unmake the r epresentatives of the municipality. A publican seems very naturally to pre sent himself as an agent for corruption on these occa sions, whether as a primary or a secondary. The Chairman—Do you believe that political conside rations enter much into the choice of aldermen ? Mr. Acland—They did while the division between parties was more obvious than it is now ; and they do sot enter so much as they did formerly. The Chairman—Can you suggest anything to remove these sources of corruption in the election of aldermen which you speak of ? Mr. Acland—l would make all municipal offices in the city of London worthy of the ambition of the higher classes. I would give such a constituency with such checks on the exercises of the franchise as might, with such a better class of men, act as a collateral guarantee against the probability, if not the possibility, of the re. currence of such practices. The'Otairman—Do you think it would be possible to inducc; the higher class of merchants in the City to ac' cept the office o . Mr. Acland— e. not. The office carries with it so bad a name, and such a bad odour, that no high class of merchants would like to bear it. The Chairman—But supposing the bad opinion of the office were removed by the alterations which might be made, what do you think would then be the disposition of the higher classes Mr. Acland—l believe if the circumstances of muni pal government in the City were so altered as that none of the bad odour which now attaches to the corporation would attach to them in the opinion of their fellow citizens, that then there would be a disposition on the part of a higher class of men to accept municipal office. The Chairman—You think they might be induced to spare the time and direct the attention necessary for ful. filling the duties of the office ? Mr. Acland—l do. The Chairman—Have you any other observations to make on this head ? Mr. Acland —The Court of Aldermen is an irrespon sible body, being elected for life, and I think it uncon stitutional that it should have the power of voting away large sums of money without the consent of the Court of Common Council. The Chairman—What term of years do you consider would be sufficient for the tenure of the office of alder man ? Mr. Acland—l would do away with the office of alder. man altogether. ➢Zr. Cornewall Lewis—Do you see any advantage in the distinction between the Court of Aldermen and the Court of Common Council, as compared with the ordi nary forms of the town councils of other municipal cor porations ? Mr. Acland—None whatever. In theory the Court of Common Council, being the representative body, holds the purse-strings ; but in practice, the Court of Aldermen ♦ote away public money without confirma tion by the Court of Common Council, as they last year voted away 36,0001., for instance. The Chairman—Would you merge the Court of Alder men in the Court of Common Council in the case of the corporation of London as in the case of other municipal boroughs ? Mr. Acland—l would certainly get rid of the Alder men as a separate legislative body. It would be pre ferable to merge the two bodies into one, than to leave them separate as they exist now. Mr. C. Lewis—ls the Court of Aldermen not con. sidered principally as the executive body, and the Court of Common Council as principally the legislative body ? Mr. Acland—lt may be so principally, but each of the bodies assumes both legislative and executive functions in turn. The Court of Aldermen vote annuities to the daughters of Aldermen, who fail and become poor, and one inducement to become an alderman is that, should he ever be reduced, there is the office of chamber lain with a good salary, which may be open to him. The Court of Common Council can vote money without the' confirmation of the Court of Aldermen, and the Court• of Alderman can do the same without the confirmation of the Court of Common Council. The Chairman—Supposing that the Court of Common Council held the control over the expenditure, if the, body should be too large to manage the details of the' accounts, would you appoint a committee from their number for the transaction of such business ? Mr. Acland—Such detailed management must always be imposed either on a small body or upon properly qualified officers. Whatever might be the munipical body which was given to the city of London, those who represented and were responsible to the constituency ought to be intrusted with the expenditure of the funds. The chairman here stopped the further examination of the witness, and said that, as it was then four o'clock, the commissioners would adjourn the inquiry until next day (Wednesday). Adjourned accordingly. ISE OF THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION. On Monday the last scene of the splendid drama enacted in Dublin during the last six months, was brought to a close, and the Great Exhibition of 1853 is . among the things that were. All that now remains to the general public is the exterior of the building, in which so many hundreds of thousands have derived in struction and amusement, and from which it is to be hoped, will yet spring up results of the gravest import ance to Ireland and Irishmen. The attendance on Mon day, notwithstanding the increased price of admission, was unprecedentedly numerous. This was not to be wondered at, but it may appear somewhat strange, when • it is stated that a large proportion of the visitors was composed of peasants and artisans. The most crowded period was from two to four o'clock, when the season ticket holders flocked in to witness the closing scene, and take one final look at some of the favourite of jests of the superb collection. It was announced that a cere monial, accompanied by a grand musical performance would take place at three o'clock; and long before that hour the great hall and galleries were filled almost to suf focation, rendering it nearly impossible for those who had passed their time in inspecting the treasures of the place to secure even standing room the central part of the The ceremonial was similar to that which took place at the opening of the Exhibition, in May lait. The semicircular space beneath the great organ was converted into an orchestra, and accommodated upwards of 500 performers, under the able leadership of Mr. Joseph Robinson. A dais, covered with scarlet cloth, was erected in front of the orchestra, and thereon stood two hand- . some chairs for the accommodation of the Lord-Lieu tenant and Lady ; and in the immediate vicinity of the dais were a large number of titled and distinguished personages, and several military bands which came to assist in the orchestral performances. • At a quzyter before three o'clock, the cheering outside announced the approach of the Lord-Lieutenant and Countess ; and immediately after their Excellencies en tered by the grand entrance, preceded by Alderman Roe, Mr. Dargan, and the other members of the Exhibition Committee. As soon as they entered the Great Hall the military bands struck up the National Anthem, and the vast assemblage burst into one hearty and enthusi astic cheer, which made the walls and roof of the build ing ring again. The cheering continued at short inter vals until his Excellency reached the dais, when still more vehement acclamations broke forth, no small pro portion of which were evidently intended for Mr. Dargan. His Excellency then took his seat on the dais, the Coun tess of St. Germans occupying the seat immediately on his left. The Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and the other distinguished personages also took up the positions assigned them. Among those present we noticed the Provost of Trinity College, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord Massareene, Lord !Ward, Lord Dunboyne, Sir Edward and Lady Blakeney, Sir Edward M‘Donnell, the Earl of Bective, Sir John Young, the Marchioness of Londonderry, Co lonel Pennefather, William Dargan, Esq., Viscountess Gort, Colonel Browde, Colonel Eden, the Attorney- General, Sir John Benson, the members of the com mittee, &c. His-Excellency the Lord Lieutenant then arose from his seat, and Mr. C. P. Roney, the active and energeti c secretary of the Exhibition, havingbEexenceilnletnrocydutcoeudchheyd him with Alderman Roe, his Excellency d esired him . to kn ee l f or the purpose of receiving the hono ur of knightho o d . M r- Roney hhaavisuvrgoortraedndthsearide, Rise,qu , e , st, his Sir Cus ac k P atrick Roney," whereupon a loud and hearty cheer from the assembled multitude, Wh o a pprobation of the honour conferred gentleman. The worthy K n i g h t 1 proceded thus evinced their upon the talented heartily congra tulated by the chai rman of the was executive committee, Mr. Dargan, his brother secretary, M r . D eane, and several Lady Roney was subsequently introduced to the Earl and Countess of St. Germans, to receive their felcitations. His Excellenc y then came forward, and in a Clear dis tinct voice said— " I cannot declare the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853 to be closed without expressing an earnest wish for the health, happiness and prosperity of the man to whom we are all indebted for the instruction we have received from the many productions of art and nature which are contained within these walls. I also desire to acknow ledge the liberality of the owners of those treasures for permitting them to be exhibited. Let me also pay a tribute of praise to the committee, the secretaries , and the other officers con ne ct e d w ith it, f or t h e sea l, the assiduity, and the intelligence with which they have dis charged their many duties. Lastly, let me, in the name of this assembly, offer to Almighty God our heartfelt thanks for having blessed and prospered this undertaking. I now declare this Exhibition to be closed." His Excel- lency concluded by calling for three cheers for Mr. Du gan. (Loud and prolonged applause.) - A Voice.—A cheer for the Lord Lieutenant. (Loud cheers,) This part of the ceremonial being concluded, th e National Anthem was performed by the organ and orchestra, assisted by the military bands, after which their Excellencies retired, at half-past three o'clock, ne . corapanied by the committee to the grand entrance, and in the course of another hour the gay throng separated, and left the building, the entire ceremonial occupying only one hour.
