IRONSI ASTERS QU ARTERLY MEETINGS.— T hursday._ T he usual Ma sters of thi s quarterly meetingsßoißMlNGHATir) f the iron- . n this district have b een h e ld d ur i ng t h e pre se nt week in Walsall an d W olverhampton, and to-day town. The price of iron remains exceedingly firm at the rates fixed a fortnight ago, and the demand is represented to be extraordinarily brisk for all descrip tions of make. The colliers in the neighbou r h oo d o f West Broinwich , who turnedtu out t en d ays ago, have for the most part returned work at the old prices, and at a rneeting of the coal proprietors of Bilston and the neighbourhoo, held yesterday at Wolverhampton, it Was determined, in reply to applications from the colliers for an advance, to abide by existing rates of wages. The masters are unanimous in their determination ; and there is reason to believe that, under such circumstances I/ 3 men, as at West Bro and Oldbury, will re iissie their employment. The p closing meeting of the 3Foeninasters will be held at Dudley on Saturday, when re the state of the iron market can be spoken of with greater certainty. 0 , c f 41- F-4 oP A ROUSE. —On Wednesday night, at 12 unw e i c lo ic i the roof of a house, 2, Pettiford-court, a narrow rnedi t t he roof not more than six feet broad, im plea e y behind St 141ary's Church, fell in with a tre "e crash, nearfly killing three children and two adults, the tenants Fortunately, howevoe the upper part of the premises. perilous position. 1 !,. , t hey were recued from their downa—not befor e 't in a hazardous conldilvt?: time, The next house was being pulled for both houses have been 'work of demolition having no proper shvorind : 8 for a long time —and as the goin g on, the house No. 2, put support o uphold it, from sheer weakness gave vra n the it received from the Party wall of ST ' o , w 1 wbas removed.

We regret to announce the death of Capt. Alexander Ellice, the comptroller of the coast guard. The sad,event took place suddenly, a f ew d a y s s i nce, i n Scotland, from an attack of apoplexy. He was much respected in the service, and his loss will be severely deplored by many, who will miss that consideration and appreciation which they earned by their service under the gallant and amiable chief of their department. Captain Ellie* was always a favoured officer, and was always employed, for he happened to possess the strong interest of the Greys and Mintos ; but in his career, as will be seen from " O'Byrne's Biography," he saw some war service, and gained great experience in the many positions he successively filled : " Captain Ellice entered the navy August 2, 1806, as a volunteer, on board the Crocodile, Captain George Edmund Byron Bettesworth ; and on after wards joining, as midshipman, the Tartar, 32, was present, May 15, 1808, in a severe action of an hour and a half with a Danish flotilla, near Bergen, on which occasion Captain Bettesworth was killed. He continued to serve in the Tartar, under Captain Joseph Baker, until transferred, in June, 1809, to the Victory, 100, flag-ship, in the Baltic, of Sir James Saumarez. From January, 1811, until June, 1813, he was afterwards employed in the Mediterranean, un der Captain the Honourable Henry Duncan, in the Imperieuse, 38 ; and, during that period, among other services, he shared, August 17, 1812, in a spirited skirmish with a powerful Neapolitan squadron in the Bay of Naples. Bein g promoted from the I n dus, 74, Captain William H a ll Gage, to the rank of lieute nant, Oct. 30, 1813, Mr. Ellice subsequently joined ; Jan. 18, 1814, the Caledonia, 120, bearing the flag of Lord Exmouth, under whom he appears to have been soon afterwards present in a partial action with the Tou lon fleet; June 2. 1814, and A pril2o, 1815, the Cossack, 22, and Tenedos, commanded on the North American station by Capts. Lord Prudhoe, Hon. Robert Rodney, and Hyde Parker; March 6, 1816, the Minden, 74, Capt. Win.

DANGEROUS STATE OF WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—After all the tinkering and cobbling which the bridge has un dergone, at no small expense, it is giving additional warning that its end is nigh. For some years three of its arches have been upheld by intricate crutches, which greatly obstruct the navigation of the river, and three years ago we pointed out the threatening and dis jointed condition of the fourth arch on the Middlesex side. It was at that time patched up with cement, and the cracks filled in, but this process only hid the wrinkle, not removed it. The gap has again mani fested itself, and a wisp of hay, suspended by a rope from the parapet, gives ominous warning that it is dangerous for craft to pass under it ; but the pedes trians who go along have no note of preparation given them. If it is considered necessary to have a wisp of hay for the under traffic, it is at least equally ne cessary to have a wisp of straw for the information of the passenger traffic above. We understand the new bridge will be commenced forthwith. Messrs. Fox and Henderson are, it is stated, to have the con traot for its erection. Sir \V. Cubitt is the engineer. PAUPERISM IN WALES.—The diminution of pauperism in Wales at the present moment is very great, there being scarcely any able.bodied paupers in the various union houses. This is to be traced to the extraordinary demand for labour at present existing all over the country arising from the great number of public and private works now in course of being carried out. The applications for out-door relief have likewise very much diminished, thus showing by the quickest and surest of all tests that pauperism has much decreased. At Swan sea, Merthyr, &c., the expenditure has materially decreased, and in other districts the rates have been lowered to the extent of one quarter. In some parts of North Wales there is a slight increase in the casual ex penditure, which is owing to the greater number of tramps and wandering characters, rather than to any increased pauperism in the localised population. y t e h t i . s a A id cc c e o n n t . h THE COLLISION ON THE MIDLANDIRAILWAY.—The coroner's siderable number of witnesses have bee n exam i ned, and s the investigation stands adjourned to Monday nut. a not bieneqnu broughtiry into o theto a circumstances conclusion as of COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

System of Arithmetic. Trotter. Oliver and Boyd. The ingenious compiler of this little volume-- descriptive of " Theoretical and Practical Arith metic"—.has already rendered his name familiar to ystudents Logarithms" in t n " an Manual of Ingram' s M a th emat i cs. " His present work will United Kbyinhgidsom "Key by his to s considerably e x t en d hi s repu t a ti on. Ad ap t e d as e T3te an it is to the use of schools, it may also be em ployed advantageously in the labour of self tuition. It commences by giving the whole of the fundamental rules of arithmetic in due succession, and having "grounded" the scholar in these, carries him onward easily to their application to mercantile computation. In this manner the promise of the title-page is fulfilled. The system here submitted to the use of students is, as it professes to be, practical as well I,s theore tical in its information. After explaining the fun damental rules of the science, and their ordinary application, the compiler advances to a higher stage —to vulgar and decimal fractions —and then to involution and evolution—subsequently to series —and ultimately to annuities, certain and con tingent. The amount of knowledge comprised in this volume within 300 pages, is creditable not only to the industry of Mr. Trotter in its accumu lation, but to his skill in its arrangement. While the present compilation is the latest, it is also something more than that—it is about the soundest of all popular works on arithmetic. Speeches of Kossuth. Edited by Francis W. New. man. Trilbner and Co. In this singularly attractive volume are com prised several of those remarkable speeches, by which Louis Kossuth has gained for him self the reputation of a very great orator among the Anglo-Saxon population in both hemispheres. Assuredly never before has foreigner spoken as this one has, in a tongue not learned by him in childhood among the familiar scenes of Fatherland. Seldom, indeed, have we English listened to words of more impassioned rhetoric from the lips of the most gifted of our countrymen. In this, as in so many other respects, the ex-Governor and some time Liberator of Hungary stands alone among the noble band of the more illustrious of the world's de magogues. After winning a great name in the midst of his own people, he has acquired a new renown in the land of his banishment. He came amongst us with a glorious reputation to support, and that reputation he has wonderfully enhanced, or rather he has added reputation to reputation. His pa triotism he had already manifested in rousing and di recting the Magyar war of independence. His states manship he had attested by the successful acts of his humane and powerful government. His eloquence we had become conscious of, from listening to it at rare intervals through the faint echoes of inadequate translation. At last Kossuth himself arrived in England, and we were enabled to see the man face to face of whose deeds of glory and words of wisdom we had heard so frequently—we were enabled to measure the height of his genius and the depth of his sensibility. And the Liberator of Hungary not only came and took refuge on the soil of England, but spoke in their own language to many thousands of Englishmen. Spoke in broken accents, it is true, but in words of winged eloquence. His triumphal progress through England, and after that through the United States of America, will not speedily be lost to the popular recollection. If it could otherwise fade away speedily--here is a monument for its perpetuation. It has evidently been a labour of love with the editor (Francis W. Newman) the building up of this same monument. He has his recompence however. For if he may be said to have raised au intellectual effigy of the great Hungarian patriot, he has availed himself of the privilege of the sculptor—he has carved his own name on the pedestal. The History of the Taxation of England. By William Tayler. Hope and Co. How fruitful a theme for the arguments of the politico-statician ! The HistOry of the Taxation. of England—with an Account of the Rise and Pro gress of the National Debt. The History of the Representative Government of the United King dom—with an account of the military and ma ritime victories, the warlike glory, and the national crimes of the great Angl,o-Saxon race. That is the correct signification of such annals and of such a description —of the description of the National Debt and of the annals of Taxation. It is a subject of this character and of this magnitude that Mr. Tayler, of the Middle Temple, has selected for the display of his industry and lucidity in compilation, and both of these merits he has re vealed in the present volume, in a manner calcu lated to earn for him something of a reputation. Dividing the work before us into two parts, he has treated first of the progress of Taxation from 1066, in the reign of William the Conqueror to 1688, in the reign of William of Orange, in other words, to the period of the Revolution—recounting after wards the extraordinary strides of this dread and bugbear of the British people, Taxation from 1688 in the age of William to 1853, in that of Victoria. A resume of the whole, there given by the compiler, will be perused by the reader with advantage. Subsequently, will be found in the volume three really useful appendices, fol lowed by an account, first, of the "Public In come," and then of the " Public Expenditure." Among the persons whose names, speeches, and opinions are referred to during the course of the narrative, will be found enumerated almost all the political celebrities from the days of Queen Anne down to those of our present gracious Sovereign. The catalogue, by the way, begins with Walpole and ends with Disraeli. We can confidently com mend the book as a reliable authority upon the subject of Taxation. The London Season of 1853. By the Little St. Leger. W. R. Sams. A very inadequate notion could alone ‘ be con veyed, by that abbreviated h ea di ng, of the fun stored up in this delightful little poetic pleasantry. Therefore let us give the title-page to our readers in its entirety. Listen 1—" The London Season of 1853; or, Lays, Musical and Lunatic: by the Little St. Leger, thirty-first cousin to the Great St. Leger." And a comical fellow to boot : one who hath his " quips and his quiddities." Read him and answer—aye, and we warrant your answer will be rendered somewhat inarticu late by your laughter. For the Little Saint Leger is most ludicrously and provokingly in coherent in his reminiscences. He never fails, from the first stanza to the last, to preserve in his own mind and in that of his reader that if his lays are musical they are also decidedly lunatic. The review he takes of the last season is such a droll omnium gatherum. One can't help fancying sometimes, at the end of a stanza, that it closes with an Irish whoop and the flourish, not of a pen but of a shilelah : the conceit comes forth with such a roar of animal spirit and such a startling unexpected ness. Hear him—the bon vivant, with his concert recollections : " Mons. Jullien, that comical fellow, Is gone with his band to New York, With the great wonder, young Bottesini— By Jove ! I cant't pull out this cork?" Or, again, with his appetising thoughtfulness, the gourmet ! " In September I go to Doncaster, To see the great St. Leger race, What fun we shall have, my dear fellow, — Don't forget the greengages and plaice." Is not this, however, sufficiently musical or lu natic ? Hear him a little later : " How vexing to lose dear Ferraris, And Sontag, the sweet evergreen ! Her Majesty's ajesty's opens all's n nextsseeraesoenr season— I'm tired—hurrah, After that are you not satisfied ? If not—listen to the Thirty-first Cousin to the Great St. Leger carolling elsewhere of some of the motley sights witnessed last he globe t l h o b e s idolsea id,rteebcapaLondoners.rls :en roaming • "Have H EMy o o w njto f li u eo nn iauln y are 1 ! King Cole, you're a brick." And so on throughout the whole of this length ened and fantastic celebration. After this royster ing account of the byegone season, we have in the brochure before us, " the ninth statue," being a graceful trib u t e t o Anna Thillon ; " The Little Bateman's" being a panegyric upon the genius of those marvellous little children ; an " Acrostic" on the name of Miss Romer • and the translation of a lett er wr i tten two or three years ago byßossini —the last mentioned a charmingly humorous piece of composition. Travels in, the Steppes the Caspian Sea. By Zavier Hommaire de Hell. Chapman and Hall. If ever that notable civil engineer, wanderer, man of letters, m em b er o f th e Society Geologique de France, and Knight of the Order of St. Vladi mir, of Russia, called by his terrible patronymic, Xavier Hommaire de Hell, obtains an audience, it will be now when a work relating to the subject treated of in this goodly volume of his cannot fail to prove attractive. The author sets out on his rovings in Turkey, and closes them, for the time, in Bessarabia. He conducts the reader by plea sant stages over the whole of those wonderful steppes of the Caspian of which the book in its very title purports to be descriptive. Inci dentally, moreover, lie carries us with him in ima gination through the Crimoea and, among other scenes of strange interest, through the Caucasus. Al wa ys, too, with an air of delightful vivacity • E . e cannot open his lips, or rather bestir his pen to the outpouring of a sentence, ormuch more, of a chapter, without letting you know by a pleasant experience that he is the most lively and i ns t ruct i ve of com- I panions. He is this principally for the two rea sons, namely, because while he is a man of educa tion, he is a man also of vigilant observation. H e sees thinkingly—a commendation not always appli cable with truth to your lettered traveller. tinder this simple title of " Travels" in the Steppes of the Caspian Sea, in the Crimcea, and in the Caucasus, M. Xavier Hommaire de Hell has compacted to gether an extraordinary mass of valuable and curious information. THE PEACE MOVEMENT. (From, the Times.) Mr. Cobden's position at Edinburgh is this— that, because we have no cause to fear an attack from the French Emperor at the present moment, and because the fleets of the French and English nations are now acting in alliance, therefore there was no reason at any time to fear danger in this country on the side of France. He speaks confi dently, and as though under the full conviction, that, because the Anglo-French fleet is now acting in amicable union at Constantinople, therefore we were wrong in putting the country in a state of defence at a time when it was absolutely defence less, and when the political fortunes of Europe were in such uncertainty that our wisest statesmen were living, as it were, from hand to mouth. Would Mr. Cobden get ten men to agree with him in opinion if he should endeavour to per suade a constituency that, because the relations between France and England are at the present moment what the most politic and prudent men in either country would wish them ever to remain, therefore we should disband our land forces, give up the organisation of the militia, send our ships into ordinary, and leave the liberties o f E urope under theprotection of the French Emperor's sense of forbearance and Mr. Cobden's rhetorical genius ? Mr.Cobden is pleased to be facetious upon a subject on which we feel little desire to jest. He draws apictuye of an in dividual wh o s h ould have left his n r atge bd country for Australia a t the time w hoa M. laying a wager with G eneral Brotherton o w h e i n c hwwa we will venture to say few men in his position would have had the bad taste to accept. We were orga nising our militia—we were fortifying our coasts— we were raising our Ordnance service from its then deplorable condition—we were contriving the best methods of carrying on commissariat operations in case of need. Against whom were these prepara tions made ? Clearly against a possible attack from France. There is no use in disguising the point. This country has nothing to fear from invasion save from our powerful neighbour. Well, then, Mr. Cobden's Australian traveller returns, and finds not only that a French invasion has not taken place, but that actually the bonds of friendship and alliance have been happily drawn so close be tween the two nations that their fleets are acting in combination, and that they are endeavouring together to maintain the peace of the world. The inference drawn by Mr. Cobden's Anglo-Australian member of the Patent Peace Association upon this state of facts is so startling, that we will give it in his own words : " The first thing he would naturally ask would be, Can Tot trust this individual whom you were not long ago calling a brigand and a pirate? (Cheers.) Has anything happened to prove that the Peace people were right in their views ? (Hear, hear.) What has this man done ? Has he given you any guarantee that when ' you go into action with the Russian fleet he has not previously had an understanding with the Emperor of Russia, and that, instead of joining you in pouring your broadsides into the Russian fleet, he will, not aid Russia in demolishing yours ? Unless he has undergone a great change ,he may come back, after haNino,4e4royed your fleet, land on your coast, ravage your towns, burn your houses seize the Ba n k, an d carry o ff t h e Queen. (Great laugh :r.)" This kolish creature of Mr. Cobden's imagination is so highly amused with the result of the precau tionary measures, that he never thinks of asking if they had not some slight effect in producing a result which must give satisfaction to every friend of humanity. England is strong—England is secure. She is rendered secure and strong by her fleets and by her armies, and for this very reason it is that her alli ance is sought and valued, and that, in union with France, she is able to uphold a policy of peace in Europe. We say it without fear of contradiction, the peace of the world is at present due to the at titude that England has assumed, and to the power with which she is enabled to menace whoever would disturb that peace. With what force could she have intervened in the deliberations of Europe if she had only presented herself in the attitude of a mild ethical philosopher, suggesting peaceful con clusions, and hinting rather than asserting against men of violence and blood the remote contingencies of another and a better world ? And yet Mr. Cobden claims a triumph for the peace party as ho looks at the present condition of Europe and the history of the movement. "I have never," says Mr. Cobden, " alluded, in the House of Commons or elsewhere, that I am aware of, to that most consummate triumpliwhich this Conference has effected, i n the change that has taken place since we met at Manchester on the subject of a French aggression." The language is somewhat mystic— dark as an oracle—but we, who have no occasion to shroud the simple truth in oracular garb, can simply say that the great council of the nation, with the full and hearty assent of nineteen twentieths of the population of these realms, adopted a course upon the occasion directly in the teeth of Mr. Cobden's suggestions. It was pre dicted at the time by those who recommended these most wise and salutary measures of precau tion, that if their recommendations were adopted, there would be an end of all aggressive and ambi tious thoughts upon the part of the French Go vernment as against this country. The recom mendations were adopted, the nations have re mained in perfect accord, and the greatest military nation is associated with the greatest naval power in the worthy object of preserving the general peace. Mr. Cobden's advice was disregarded, and we have found ourselves so much the better for disregarding it that we have actually attained the end he said we should attain if we adopted a diametrically opposite course. But then Mr. Cobden tells us—and here comes a revelation of la haute politique—that if there had never bees any apprehension of an invasion here from the other side of the Channel, the Russian Czar would never have been guilty of his aggression a ga i ns t T urkey. We would simply remark that the dates, unfortu nately, overthrow this ingenious little theory. Had the invasion of the Principalities occurred two years ago, we might have supposed that the Emperor Nicholas had calculated upon a hypothetical mis understanding between the French and English Governments as likely to further his designs. Eng land, he might have thought, in her then defence less condition, might have been compelled to remain a reluctant spectator of events which she was power less to prevent. But now, with our fleets on every sea—with no war upon our hands —what a dull dog the Russian Czar must be if he e rel . l upon such a calculation ! N o wonder Mr. Cobdens imagined he could crumple hi m up like a sheet of blotting-paper ! The peace movement, as it is called, has been from the first th e ru i n of Mr. Cobden's ' reputation as a statesman, and remains so still. Every time he touches it he complicates his position, and brings himself into still greater discredit. THE PEACE CONFERENCE AND MR, HENRY DRUMMOND, M.P. The following letter has been addressed to the Secre tary of the Peace Society by Mr. Henry Drummond m.p., in reply to an invitation sent to him to attend its meetings about to be held in Edinburgh : "Albury-park, Sept. 30. " Sir,—You have invited me to go down to Edinburgh to assist at a conference of persons calling themselves ' The Friends of Peace ;' and you have desired me, if I cannot be present, to send you my written adhesion to the objects of the conference.

The Chairman of the City Lands Committee brought up the report of the committee upon the allegations of the petition of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Dun stan-in-the-West, against the removal of Temple-bar. The following are extracts from the report : " That the said petition is signed by Messrs. Child and Co. (bankers), Messrs. C. Hoare and Co. (bankers), Mr. C. W. Lees (churchwarden of the said parish), Messrs. SimpL son, Graham, and Co. (tea-dealers), and 52 other persons, and alleges that they have heard with great concern that a motion was about to be submitted to your honourable court, having in view the immediate and entire removal of that ancient barrier and landmark of the City, and that in the judgment of the petitioners it is most undesirable that all visible mark and token of the City westward should be re ' moved, and that the two cities of London and Westminster should in future appear to be ono and undistinguishable. That they do not plead for the perpetuation of the present barrier without repair or improvement. They admit that it is probable that modern art may devise a structure which shall be more pleasing to the eye, while it presents no obstruction to the traffic ; but they humbly submit that any such project of improvement should be maturely and sufficiently discussed before any steps shall be taken for the removal of the present structure. " That meanwhile, however, as inhabitants of that part of the City which is alleged to be injured by the obstruc tion offered by the present edifice, they beg to submit to your honourable court their sincere opinion that the total removal of this venerable landmark of the City is neither rendered necessary by the requirements of trade and com merce, nor is yet desirable with a view to the City's ap proaches. Hence they regard its removal as a step which will be viewed by the inhabitants of the City generally with feelings of sincere regret and dissatisfaction. The petitioners further observe that, from long observation, the obstruction complained of does not arise from Temple bar, but at the end of Chancery-lane, from the immense number of omnibuses, &c., passing and repassing from and into Holborn. " That we, your committee, have not only maturely con sidered the said allegationss but we have reason to believe that similar opinions are entertained by a large portion of the inhabitants of this City, and particularly those of the parish of St. Bride, in Fleet-street (adjoining the parish of St. Dunstan-in-the-West), who had signed a petition to your honourable court on the subject ; but which latter pe tition was not presented from a feeling that what was stated by the inhabitants of St. Dunstan-iu•the-West would bo sufficient to induce your honourable court not to consent to the removal of Temple-bar. Your committee also con sidered the several arguments which had been adduced for the entire removal of Temple-bar, but found they principally consisted in its being alleged to be an unsightly structure, although erected by Sir Christopher Wren, and that its destruction would increase the carriage and foot way accommodation. But, upon the fullest consideration of the subject, your committee were of opinion that unless great expense were incurred in the removal of houses on each side of the bar, the bare removal of it would not in crease the carriage way sufficient to allow more than two carriages to pass, as at present, without encroaching more upon the foot pavement than the piers of the centre arch now extend ; and that tae continuance of such piers affords a protection to passengers, and that if the bar is substan tially and handsomely repaired, according to the plan prepared by the City Architect, it would still be an in teresting structure, indicative of the boundaries between the ancient cities of London and 'Westminster, and that the obstruction to passengers and traffic arise chiefly at the end of Chancery-lane and Fetter-lane, and not at Temple bar, where one regular line of carriages pass each way with out that confusion which would ensue from attempting to pass more, unless the sides of the street at that spot were enlarged. " Your committee therefore directed Mr. Architect to prepare estimates of the expense of restoring and repairing tbo building, who has reported to us that the cost of per fecting the building in all its parts will be from 1,2001. to 1,5001., and we are of opinion, and recommend, that Temple-bar should be restored according to the plan pre pared by Mr. Architect, at an expense not exceeding 1,5001. " All which we submit to the judgment of this honour able Court. " D. CORK. " B. BOWER. " T. FARRAR. " J. HILL. "L. REDHEAD. "W. RAYMOND. "W. ARCHER. "G. TAYLOR. " H. BLAKE. " G. VIRTUE. " W. RATHBONE. "J. JOHNSON." On the motion by the CHAIRMAN that the report be agreed to, Mr. Cox moved, as an amendment, "That the report be sent back for further consideration, and that the plan now submitted, or any other plan having for its object to obtain further roadway and footway on that portion of Fleet-street, be considered." Mr. Cox said that he looked upon Temple -bar as one of the very great number of nuisances that existed in the City, and that, if he were to classify these, he should place this erection at the top of the list. (Laughter.) It answered no good or useful purpose as it now stood, it created a great stoppage of carriages. (No, no.) He affirmed this from personal observation, and after having given the subject a great deal of serious consideration. It had been said that the antiquity of Temple-bar ought to save it from destruction ; its antiquity only extended to 150 or 160 years, and even if it extended to 1,600 years, it ought no longer to be permitted to remain, seeing that the great traffic of the City rendered its removal abso lutely necessary. Mr. Cox produced, and laid upon the table, some plans which he had prepared at his own ex pense, showing how on the present site a modern struc ture could be formed, answering the purposes of th e ex isting one , and preventing all the inconvenience and pres sure at present experienced at that part of the City. Mr. LAMBE seconded the amendment. Mr. Deputy HoLT thought the court ought to pause before expending a sum of 1,5001. upon an erection that was evidently distasteful to a great number of the citi zens. He was in favour of the amendment. (Hear.) Mr. Deputy BOWER, after denying that Temple-bar was an obstruction to traffic, said the question was not between one plan and another, but whether there should exist any boundary at all between London and West minster. (Hear.) They were told by their architect that the present structure must be repaired. If alto gether knocked down, there would be such a united force of the press against its being rebuilt, that another erec tion would be totally out of the question. (Hear.) Were there boundaries enough to prove that the City had a distinctive mark, then he apprehended the cor poration would not be so particular with regard to the removal of Temple-bar, but this was the only gate now left, and ought it to be sacrificed ? (No, no.) It was such things as these that kept together the old land marks of their rights, and the old privileges belonging to the corporation. (Cheers.) Mr. Deputy HARRISON had no apprehension of the liberties and privileges of the corporation being de stroyed by their takinc, down Templ e -b ar. ( L aughter.) He conside re d that the b corporation must be maintained for more useful purposes than any that could be identi fied with Temple-bar, otherwise the sooner they were swept away the better. He was of opinion that the sooner the corporation removed this obstruction, the more would they be honoured and respected by persons resorting to the City for the purpose of business or otherwise. (Hear.) Mr. Deputy BLAKE strongly opposed the removal of Temple-bar, and said that a ceremony there took place whenever the Sovereign visited the City, which was, at all events, appropriate while there was the existence of a bar. That ceremony had been greatly ridiculed both by the press and by the members of that court, who had little thought of what the ceremony was the symbol. (Hear, hear.) That ceremony was more pregnant with instruction to the court and to their fellow-citizens than could be found in any ceremony performed within the City—it was the last homage within this realm paid by the Sovereign to the free institutions of the great city of the world. (Cheers.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he would not advocate the re tention of Temple-bar on any account ;he was most anxious to remove all impediments to the traffic and com merce of the City, and, at this time of day, it was too bad that the corporation should attempt to sustain such an obstruction as Temple-bar. (Cheers.) The subject of redecorating the bar had been discussed before the City Lands Committee, and the City's architect had emphati cally stated, "Down it must come." (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Taylor) thought the corporation would not be doing their duty to the citizens if they did not seek to remove the obstruction. (Hear, hear.) He asked the court whether they were prepared to incur the censure of the public press, which they most assuredly would do if the report were received at the very time when the Royal Commissioners would not be able to come through Temple-bar on their way to Guildhall. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. Deputy CORK having briefly spoken, the court , divided, when there appeared— For the aniendnient Against it Majority The court then adjourned. ............... 35 ............... 23 -12 Signor Gaetano Giardini, the eminent jurisconsult, condemned to death by the Criminal Court of Naples for political offences, has arrived safe at Turin, having re mained concealed four years in his native country. 7. Mr. W. S. ILILE, the chairman of the City of London School Committee, brought up a report on the subject of the foundation of a scholarship, to be called "The Lambert Jones Scholarship." The report recommended that they should be empowered to cause a tablet, with a suitable inscription, and the armorial bearings of Mr. Jones, to be placed in a conspicuous part of the school, at the expense of the City, in like manner with the me morials already put up by the directions of the court with respect to other similar benefactions. The report was agreed to amidst acclamations. CITY OF LONDON FREEMEN'S ORPHAN SCHOOL. Mr. Deputy HALE said that, seeing that his friend Mr. Gilpin had given notice of a motion, "That the resolution of the court of the 2Sth September last, `that the head master of the City of London Freemen's Orphan School be a clergyman of the Church of England,' be rescinded, and that the general rule be altered accord ingly," he took the first opportunity that presented itself of saying that, in order to avoid all dissensions of a religious tendency amongst the members of the court, he, as chairman of the committee, should not object to the words "clergyman of the Church of England" being omitted, and the following words substituted for the original resolution :—" That the head master of the City of London Orphan School shall be elected from such three candidates as shall be specified to be best qualified for the office by the head master of the City of London School, the head master of King's College School, and the head master of University College School, London, or the majority of them." (Hear.) Mr. GILPIN expressed his willingness to agree to the resolution, and after a short discussion it was put, and carried. It was then agreed that the assistant-master's salary should be 100/. per annum. ~..... fer Mammon to both. Idolatry, like statuary, is an affair of taste, but Milton, who seems to know as much about devils as you do, tells us that Mammon was the basest and meanest of all. " You quote the opinion of Lord John Russell, that the last war was unnecessary. It was not undertaken until the French Government had proclaimed war upon every crowned head in Europe ; and they who were loyal urged their Sovereigns to reply to these manifestoes with grape shot—the only arguments with which revo lutionists should be treated. The Whigs said it was not necessary, merely as every faction not in power takes the opposite side of every question from the one that is; but when they came into office, although they had co quetted with treason and palliated sedition (as they have ever since continued to do, whenever by so doing they could strengthen themselves), they were not one whit less alive to the true safety and honour of the country under Mr. Fox and Lord Grey than their predecesors bad been under Mr. Pitt. "It requires matchless impudence to speak of the de fenceless state of this country, and the sense of its dan ger, to which the people were with difficulty awakened, as ' absurd and fabulous tales, for which there was not even a shadow of foundation.' The President of the French Republic had reiterated assertions, with oaths, that he would preserve the Republic entire ; it has been since manifested that at the very moment he was making those a s 3ertioni he was plotting to seize upon the Government and make himself Emperor. Yet on this man's truth and professions of peace, you advise us to rely in lamblike security ! He made no secret of say ing that he would, at a proper time, invade this country. A plan for its invasion was given in to him while he was President of the Republic, which he would not look at then, because he had other business in hand. After he was Emperor he referred that plan of invasion to his Ministers, who replied that the plan was good, if it had been carried into effect at the time, but now that the English were roused, and their military spirit awakened, as had been proved by the calling out of their militia, the time had gone by. He himself proposed a plan for the repartition of Europe, which was put an end to solely by the Emperor of Russia. Louis Napoleon has raised the largest number of screw war-ships that France ever possessed, which cannot be to protect its colonies and commerce, because it has none. He has been long practising his troops in embarking and disembarking by night, which cannot be for going to Vienna, Rome, or St. Petersburgh, and which can be solely for a descent on our shores. The French people prefer glory to gain, hate the English with a perfect hatred, and long to re venge their defeat at Waterloo. ' While such facts as these stare us in the face, who shall say there is no need' of common sense to hold up to scorn and derision that party in this country which ' excites public opinion' to meet such dangers by a conference for peace ? " You state that ' the flower and strength of Euro pean manhood is living in coerced idleness at the ex pense of the rest of the community, in order that they ( may be ready to fight :' it would be more true if you had said, in order that the rest of the community may be able t o sp i n cotton and grow corn in quiet. " Agreeably to the cant of the age, you try to mix up some fragments of Holy Writ to sanctify your folly ; and, imagining that you are to be the means of intro ducing the millennium, you ask 'if there is nothing which Christian men can do' towards that end ? You want a universal peace without the Prince of Peace ; you want the world more quiet, that men may be left more undisturbed in the enjoyment of selfish gratifica tion ; and you think that no one can penetrate the dark ness in which you have enveloped history, both sacred and profane. Yes ; you can do something to bring about universal peace. Join together to beseech the Prince of Peace to come again, as He has promised to do, in the same way as that in which he was seen to go, and He will come and bring Peace with him ; but with out him ye shall do nothing. " At this moment every Sovereign in Continental Europe has usurped over the rights of their nobles and of their people ; the Emperors of Russia and Austria, the Pope and his priests, the King of Naples, and all the minor absolute German Princes. For this usurpa tion the people are vowing vengeance ; and from Eng land their leaders have issued proclamations calling on all subjects not to war with each other, but to unite in warring on all the reigning families, and put them to death. If you have any honesty and sincerity among you, transfer your conference to Moscow, Vienna, or Constantinople, in all of which I can venture, though unauthorised, to promise you a reception much more consonant with your deserts than the urbanity of the Scotch is likely to give you in Edinburgh ; and when the inhabitants of that city, and of Manchester, have been brought to dismiss their magistrates and police, and to rely upon the pacific disposition of the rabble in those towns, it will be time enough to begin to think about what may be done with the rest of Europe.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " HENRY DRUMMOND. " Rev. H. Richard, 19, New Broad -street." THE CHOLERA. ( From the General Board of Health,.) MIDDLESBOROUGH. The threatened outbreak of cholera in this town has been so alarming, that three medical visitors have been stationed there to carry on daily and active house-to- house visitation. FELLING. An outbreak of cholera is reported to have taken place in this township, and an immediate inquiry on the spot has been made to ascertain the real facts of the case. WARKWORTH. Dr. Gavin, in company with the Poor-law inspector of the district, Mr. Hurst, visited this town on the 12th, in order to arrange with the board of guardians the measures rendered imperatively necessary by an out break of the epidemic. GATESHEAD AND NEWCASTLE. The epidemic, though kept in check and deprived of its force, still lingers in its favourite haunts, in these towns, and unremitted vigilance is still required in watching it. Twelve deaths from cholera and one from diarrhcea were registered in Gateshead on the 10th, and the visitors discovered in Newcastle on the 11th 125 new cases of diarrhcea and three approaching cholera. Additional information, illustrative of the intensity of the localising causes in both these places, continues to be received. All observers concur in representing the physical and moral degradation produced by residence in the worst districts of Newcastle, and by the habits en gendered in its dens of filth and squalor, as strongly de picted on the countenances of the people and characterising their conduct. "I was much struck," says a competent witness, " with the manifest effects of the pestilence upon the countenances of the people. Some attacked with diarrhcea, and others not so attacked, had all the marks of extreme terror, and would have grasped at anything to save themselves, except leaving their wretched abodes. On the other hand, there weremany, even in the houses where the disease was most busy, who seemed to treat the matter with indifference and scorn. This was the case with both young and old, and their whole conduct was an exemplification of the words, " Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. ' Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 11 : Deaths. Cholera 2 Diarrhoea ... 1 The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Newcastle during the present outbreak has been 1,477. In the same period (viz., the first 41 days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2, the number of deaths was 280. Gateshead, Oct. 11 : Cholera . Deaths. The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Gateshead to the present date has been 498. During the like period (viz., the first 35 days) in 1831-2, th e deaths amounted to 144. Ulverstone, Oct. 11 : Diarrhoea METROPOLIS Deaths. Mr. Hall, of the Poor-law Board, and Dr. Milroy, medical superintending inspector of the General Board of Health, had interviews yesterday with the boards of guardians of Lewisham and St. Olave's, Southwark, with reference to the adoption of precautionary measures for the preservation of the public health. In each in stance the guardians appointed their medical officers to be sanitary inspectors of their respective districts during the existence of the Order in Council putting in force the extraordinary powers under the Nuisances Re moval and Diseases Prevention Act. Two deaths from cholera have been reported this day to the Board of Health, by Mr. Yardley, of the Metropolitan Police Office• CAPTURE OP A BANKRUPT WITH ABOVE 7,0001. YESTERDA Y l i d e h S a o e n l Yesterday morning intelli gence was received by the j firm w r o y f , o M f e ssr theca s. p A t s u h r u e r s o t f a l‘ n , Tho m solicitors, as st a c o e f y the e l O sh ld , at Southampton, und er the following circumstances . Some years ago Welsh was • petition of M essrs. White, Son and Co. wholesale ware housemen I made a bankrupt upon the , , , 08, Cheapside, previously dis posed of hi s stock, &c but he had , as a draper, which business he had carried o n i n the ' town of Romford in Essex. He absconded, and in due course was proclaimed an outlaw, and nothing more was heard of him until about three weeks or a month ago. Frem information then received by some of the very clever London "detectives" it was ascertained that Welsh, after his bankruptcy, had gone to Dieppe, and finally made Australia his place of refuge. Here he became a dealer in gold, and was so successful as to amass above 8,0001. He returned to England about a month since in the Indus, having travelled by the overland route. He visited the metropolis, having a large sum in his possession, and he was " tracked" with great in genuity from place to place by the " detectives." Ho gave champagne dinners and suppers at the Tavistock, the Saracen's Head, and other first-rate hotels ; and his lavishness to the employes impeded in no small degre the officers in eliciting information. A satiSfactory clue was at length obtained to his movements, and Mr. John B. Walker (of the eminent firm of Boyd and Co., Friday-street), one of the trade assignees under the bankruptcy, proceeded on (Wednesday) last night to Southampton, and found that Welsh had taken a berth on board the Hermisne, lying in thorn docks. Mr. Walker succeeded in effecting the capture of Welsh, when it was found that he was possessed of above 7,0001. in gold and other property. This morning Russell, a detective officer, was dispatched with a warrant, signed by Mr. Commissioner • Evans, to bring the delinquent up to London, with the view to his committal teNewgate. Of course, all the creditors under the bankruptcy will now obtain their debts in full.
