BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the Loudon Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. th Y e varlo c u o s n di s sord t e e rs uld2 of p t e he n o e n rvou y s , an o d r g e b n y e ra l e t i t y t e e s r y's t e o m n resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro bleed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases 'mown to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the I reatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitthl Marri age;. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. 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 wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to 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, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy 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 thi4 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.

From returns made by the Superintendents of Police of the D, E, K, L, M, and P divisions to the Me tropolitan Police Commissioners, it appears that between the 28th October and the Ist inst. there had occurred in those several districts 18 cases of cholera, eight of which terminated fatally. Numerous complaints of private and local nuisances are being daily addressed to the General Board of Health. In all such cases the first step that s h ou ld b e taken is to bring the case without delay t o th e know ledge of the parochial medical officer of the district, so that he may examine and report upon it to the board of guardians, with whom rests the responsibility of taking prompt steps for the abatement or removal of the evil complained of. Should there be any unnecessary defaultor delay, the case, with a detailed statement of particu lars, might then be brought under the notice of the Ge neral Board. DEATH OP MR. SAVILLE THE COMEDIAN.—Mr. Payne held an inqn est at the Fox and Grapes, Primrose-street,, Bishopsgate, on Wednesday night, on the body of Mr. John Faucit Saville, aged 70, who was found dead in his bed on Monday morning last. at his resi dence, No. 31 in that street. Upon his servant going to his room to call him up to breakfast, he discovered that Mr. Saville was quite dead and cold. Mr. Porter, a surgeon, of Bishopsgate-street, gave it as his opinion that he had died of apoplexy. Mr. Edmund Henry Faucit Saville, son of the deceased, said he had been with his father for three months at Margate, at which place he had formerly been lessee of the theatre for 27 years. He left (Mr. E. F. Saville) on Tuesday week to re turn to his home. I3e got very corpulent during his vist to Margate, where he met with a great many old friends, and he thought he beca,me rather excited. Ile had no doubt he died without a pang. He was very well on Sunday night, and always was in good health. ITe was an author as well as comedian.

The matter was one of much importance. They might construct bridges westward of London bridge, but the main traffic would still pass over London bridge to the different railways on the south side. A gentleman, by the name of Jacob Wood, engineer to the Brighton Railway Company, had, by the execution of his duty as an officer of the company, given much attention to the matter, and the result was that he had forwarded a plan upon the subject. The City's archi tect had paid much attention to the subj@ct also, and the result was that Mr. Wood had left the matter entirelyin the bands of the city officer. He moved the reference. more Alr . bridgeß os secondedm o t a h a e t i m o n o t was o on n t d h i s e p e g n r s o a u b n l d y t h n a e t . cessary. Deputy PEWTRESS thought the parties were misin formed as to the traffic on London-bridge. The great evil was the choking up of the thoroughfares in the im mediate e l b ty--no imp e di ment from carriages passing over thridge. Do what they would they could not stop the impediments arising to the approaches to the bridge, which constantly occurred. The expense of the proposal of Mr. Taylor could not be justified, and he should like to have another committee instructed to re port upon the causes of the stoppages on the bridge. The proposed work would be unsightly and of no good to the public in the shape of relief to the traffic. Mr. HALL thought the stoppages occurred in general upon London-bridge, but that was not the point. The question was, would it not be better to have a bridge, in addition to the present ones, and give another line of traffic to the public into the City, without driving per sons over London-bridge, to which ever part of the me tropolis they might wish to go ? was timenDeputyfootr desirable the H c e o n m i i m s f i o ot N rt et s eh u te g om g c e t s oo t n ed ssiede t e h hr at ow that th ewy carefullya was whethero the ul d proper obta in the funds for the purpose of making the alteration ; he thought the public ought to contribute to the improve ment, if it was agreed to by the Court to send the question to inquiry. Mr. BENNOCH contended that the question was, whether more bridge accommodation was not necessary ? Mr. TAYLOR having replied, the motion was unani• mously carried. FREEDOM OF THE CITY. Mr. ANDERTON moved the following :—" That it be referred to the Offi cers an d Clerks Committee to ascer tain, and forthwith report to this court, the amount annually paid to persons in lieu of the sale of freedoms of this City, to whom paid, and the amount and number of freedoms to each, when first granted, and by whom, and for what reason, and whether such allowances ought to be longer continued, and whether any allow ances should be made in lieu thereof, either in a gross payment or by addition to their salariei or allowances." Carried. PROPOSED NEW STREET IN RELIEF OF LUDGATE-HILL. Mr. HAWKINS then proposed—" That it be referred to the Improvement Committee to consider and report to this Court what line of street would in their opinion best tend to relieve the present pressure of traffic on Ludgate hill and the cost thereof." Mr. ABRAHAMS seconded the motion. Mr. GRESHAM thought that instead a seeking for new bridges and new streets, it would be far better for them to turn their attention to Holborn•hill, and the dangerous declivity which had so long existed there ; and hoped the committee would report upon that hill, and not waste their time in useless discussions and pro posals for new streets, or any such hobbies. Mr. HALL explained that Mr. Bunning, the City architect, was preparing some mode of relief in this respect; no unnecessarydelay had been occasioned by the committee, though blame had been cast upon them for not doing snore than they had done. He complained that Mr. Hawkins had not particularly specified where the proposed new street was to be ; and under such cir cumstances and paucity of information, he could not support the motion. Mr. HENRY DE JERSEY was in favour of the reference. Inquiring into the best mode of relieving the pressure of the traffic on Ludgate-hill would thus be obtained, and the best information afforded for their future guid ance upon the subject of the reference. Mr. Ross attempted to speak upon the question, but a member noticing that 40 members were not then pre sent, the court was counted out. CLOSE OF THE MUNICIPAL YEAR, 1853. The LORD MAYOR said that he thanked the members of the Court of Common Council for their attendance during his year of office. That was the last occasion upon which he should have the pleasure of meeting them in the capacity of chief magistrate of the City of London. For the support they had rendered him during his term of office he felt grateful, and he should ever bear in mind the excellent manner in which the dignity of that office had been supported during his mayoralty by the mem bers of that court. Ho would then take his leave of them, and, in handing over the office to his successor, he had taken that opportunity of bidding them respec tively farewell. (Loud cheers.) THE CITY LIBRARY. The court entered into a discussion upon the report on the reference relative to the establishment of a free library, and a free circulating library, and for an appli cation to Parliament for an act. The report included the report of their sub-committee and recommended the adoption of it. The report stated as follows : " Your committee having, on the 26th of May, presented a report recom mending the establishment within this city of a free library and a free circulating library for the use and benefit of all persons resident within this city and its vicinity, upon the model of those established at Liver pool, Manchester, and other places, and that the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor should be requested to convene a public meeting of the bankers, merchants, and all other persons resident within this city and its vicinity, for the purpose of determining upon the most eligible means for effecting so desirable a purpose ; but, upon the reading of the report, the court ordered the same to be referred back, with instructions to make further inquiry and report ; and it appearing desirable to ascertain whether the recommendations can or cannot be carried into effect within thiri city under the au thority of the act of Victoria, 13 and 14, c. 65 ; and also to make further inquiries as to the probable success of founding and maintaining such libraries without en dangering or interfering with the existing library of the corporation (the Guildhall Library), we do certify that we have proceeded in such inquiries, and we feel satis fied that the establishment of a free library and a free circulating library would be the means of introducing the works of the most approved authors to the homes and fire-sides of the inhabitants of this city, and would also afford to all classes an impulse to diligent and thoughtful reading, and encourage the pursuit of studies the result of which, under favourable circumstances, would extend the boundaries of knowledge and national civilization. "At the same time we have ascertained that the act of the 13th and 14th years of her present Majesty, above referred to, cannot be applied in establishing a public library and museu m by the may or an d corporation of . this city, and we have ascertained that by an act of her present Majesty's reign, cap. 3, intituled 'An Act for establishing a public library, museum, and gallery of arts in Liverpool,' it i s enacted that the council of that town shall establish and maintain a public library and museum, with a gallery of arts, and from time to time extend and change such site, and also appoint a com mittee and officers for its management and direction, the admission thereto being free of charge, with sundry other powers, provisions, and authorities therein con tained. In p ursuance of which act of Parliament a public free library and a free circulating library have been established in that town, whilst Manchester, Hull, and other corporate towns, have availed themselves of the act of the 13th and 14th of her Maje,ty, and have, with the aid of their respective towns, established libraries, all of which are now in successful operation, and surpass the expectations of their supporters. " And it appears to us desirable that measures should be adopted, under the authority of the Court of Common Council, to apply to Parliament authorising the estab lishment of a free library and free circulating library and museum, and that previous thereto the Lord Mayor should be requested to convene a public meeting of the ie merchants, banke rs , an d o th er i n h a bit an t s o f thisci to procure their aid an d su ppo r t to s uc h an undertak ing, &c." The report was agreed to, and, after the transaction of other business, the Court adjourned. ACCIDENT TO THE MARQUIS OP LONDONDEI:III'I.--.

By the Royal Mail steamship It we have received accounts from Valparaiso, announ cing, the arrival there of the screw schooner Isabel, sent out many months since by way of the Straits of Magellan, on an exploring expedition in search of Sir John Franklin. We are sorry to learn that a disagreement among the officers has led to an abandonthent of the whole expedition.. The details are given in the following extracts from the Val paraiso Herald of the 14th of September "Upon her arrival, in consequence of a disagreement between Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Robert Grate, sailing master, the latter left the vessel. Then difficulties arose with the crew, who refused to proceed further in the vessel. An appeal was made by Mr. Kennedy to Mr. M‘Kay, R.N., of her Majesty's ship Nereus, the result of which widened the breach instead of producing any good effect.-not from anything done by Mr. M'Kay, who acted throughout the affair in the most gentle- Manly manner, but from Mr. Kennedy having called on a- naval officer while there was a Consul in the port. The men were taken on shore to the Consul on Saturday, August 27th, and he said that it was a very unpleasant thing for him to interfere between the par ties, embarked as they were upon such a glorious service as the rescue of their fellow countrymen from death. He advised them to go on board and reconsider the subject, and trusted that they would then see the true state of affairs, and that any unpleasantness that had occurred should he forgotten, and that the motto of all embarked on such au expedition should be mutually to bear and forbear. He then told the men they were to .appear before him again on Monday, at two p.m. ; but Mr. Kennedy went on shore on Thursday morn ing, and, by application to the captain of the port, got the men sent to prison, so that the affair was now fairly out of the hands of the Court. A new crew was now partly engaged, and the repairs of the vessel proceeded with ; but new difficulties now arose, which finally terminated in, the 'engineer leaving the vessel. Mr. Kennedy now seeing that his path became more and more rugged, determined not to proceed any furth er , ; do that, for the present, the expedition is abandoned, which, on the whole, is fortunate for Lady Franklin, as, form the advanced period of the season, it would have been impossible to reach the ice this season in time to render any service; so that the saving of wages and pro visions will be a considerable item between this and next March, when it is to be hoped that the vessel will be despatched to aid in the good work! before her. It is an unfortunat e affair altogether ; but let us trust that good may result from it. " We have been favoured with the perusal of the jour nal of Mr. Richard Barclin, engineer to the Isabel, kept during the passage from London to Valparaiso. Speak ing nea r ofPor tht Namine, July 21, " On the whol e , upon lookin g over our day's wor k, it is a truly surprising o ne , and I doubt, if we were to make 20 voyages to the P ac ifi c via the Straits of Ma gellan, whether we should ever do the like again. Arely few vessels, I am positive, ever did more in a day in their progress through the Straits. As far as we have come, that part of our outward voyage that was most dreaded has proved the most fortunate ; it shows that we arc but poor creatures, mostly creating our own difficulties. Our men have been continually croak ing upon the dangers to be apprehended from the attacks of the natives, who were all set dovin as the most murderous set of villains that disgraced humanity, so numerous that you were beset with them at every mile of your progress ; nothing would take it out of their heads that such was not the case ; guanacos and natives were supposed to abound in innumerable crowds. We have seen a few of the former, but of the latter, not one. " `22d.—About 12.30 this morning we felt the first " willi ewaw " ( t hi s word was unfortunately overlooked by Webster). We were running along with a fresh breeze, when in an instant we were in the midst of a hurricane; it came on to blow furiously from the Patagonian hills, and I can well believe what Captain Fitzroy says of their violence. The Isabel is a very stiff vessel, but this and the succeeding ones were too much for her ; she suc cumbed to them for a moment, and then righted. They only lasted a few moments at a time, and were suc ceeded by an almost perfect calm, as if the violence of the effort had left Monsieur Boreas breathless, or attacked with a sudden fit of asthma.' "On the same morning, he says,-- " saw the rem a i ns o the penal settlement that the Chillian Government established here, and which was broken up in such a tragical manner by the rising of the prisoners and • part of the garrison ; after which they seized an English bark--I believe the Eliza Cornish, of Plymouth—and another vessel, and, there is every rea son to believe, murdered the crew.' " Shortly after passing this settlement the Isabel anchored, and the commander with a party, including our journalist went ashore. His description of the place is valuable, as being the latest visitor whose observations have been offered to the public, and his reflections and reasoning upon the premises will also be found interest ing. _ " 'Upon landing we found wells dug, for the conve nience of vessels seeking water, close to the beach, which was covered with trunks of trees, some of them two feet in diameter. We found the snow in some places two feet deep. Upon gaining the summit of St. Anne Point we directed our course to the settlement. Part of it had been destroyed by fire. There were two fieldpieees, one dismounted. The battery had been made of turf, and was seven feet in thickness; it was almost levelled. We found the tew iron of a forge there. There were four houses built of brick and lined with pencil cedar on the south of the battery, but they were con structed in the rudest Manner, an adze only having been used to smooth the wood. There had evi dently been very little regard paid to cleanliness or com fort. To the north of the settlement was the grave yard, a square enclosed space of about GO feet, upon entering which the first object which attracted our atten tion was a cenotaph in the centre of the yard, upon which was the following inscription :—" Sacred to the memory of Captain Pringle Stokes, Royal Navy, who died at Port Famine, while in command of her Majes ty's ship Beagle, Ist of August, 1828. His body was buried on the opposite side of the bay. This board was put up by her Majesty's ship Savannah, 21st September, 1851.'

His death added another to the low , array of the martyrs of science. P eace be to thee ! adlet us trust that the Recording Angel, when he entered that deed performed by thee while in a state of insanity, blotted out all previous record of thy faults and frailties. There was only one other headstone in the yard, and the inscription upon it was in Spanish. There had been an enclosure for cattle, apparently, but not the least attempt at the formation of a garden, or space for agricultural improve ment. I suspect that it was the fact of not keeping the prisoners usefully employed that led to the events which preceded the breaking up of the colony. The morta lity must have been very great among the parties there rav resident, as th e yar d was ent i re l y filled with graven, es, each surmounted by a w ooo d6 n cross .

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1853. CLOSING OF THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION. (Prom the Times.) The Dublin Exhibition has closed after six months of uninterrupted success. Undertakings have so seldom prospered, and the ends of designs have so rarely been reached in Ireland, that the success of the Exhibition in duces the hope that Ireland, having now shown that she can persevere and can carry her projects into effect, will not stop short in the road to prosperity ; hut, stimu lated by the example which has in this instance been given her, will untiringly labour to emulate her neigh bours; in their endeavours to promote the advancement of industrial and artistic enterprise. It is highly credit. able to all connected with the undertaking that no diffi cultes should have prevented them from opening the building upon the day fixed for that purpose. They in so doing. gave an earnest of their determination to fulfil their engagements, and to spare no trouble in their efforts to insure the success of the enterprise. In this they appeared in favourable contrast to the New York Exhibition, the opening of which was so frequently post poned that the public lost confidence in the ability of the manager to complete their task, and thus doubt and indifference were produced, which are believed to have seriously affected both the numbers of the visitors and the quantity and quality of the articles exhibited. Perhaps the most interesting and most instructive por tion of the Dublin Exhibition is the building itself. In spite of the various drawbacks occasioned by the violent storms of last winter, the workmen laboured unceasingly at their arduous task until the vast wooden fabric began slowly to rise into shape, and, when the first arch of a span hitherto unknown in the country, was raised over the transept, the incredulous were led to believe that time would be kept,, and that Irishmen could perform what they had projected. The work was completed by the prescribed day, and presented a noble spectacle of Irish industry and art. In this work there was no in decision, no want of efficient labour, no strikes among the workmen ; had there been anything of the kind, the building could not have been finished in due time. This is the more satisfactory because, as Mr. Dargan j us tl y observed, the workmen w e ll knew that such was his anxiety to fulfil his promise to the public, that they could have almost dictated their own terms to him by holding out for higher wages, and thus compelling him to the alternative of complying with their demands, or of fail ing to perform his engagement, which could not but have had a most prejudicial effect upon the undertaking. " But," said he, " I gswe them good wages, I paid them regularly, and they acted as Irishmen always do when fairly treated—they stood by me, and I will stand by them." Th e building, then,designed by Irish intelligence, and erected by Irish skill and labour, is undoubtedly the best specimen of industrial enterprise which the Exhibition can show, and is further of extreme importance as a proof of what a resolute purpose, carried out with liberal views, can effect, and of the fallacy of the supposition that Irish labour is not as efficient upon its own soil as elsewhere. Indeed, a close inspection of the contents of the building causes considersible regret that more at tention should not have been paid to the exposition of industrial products. The great attraction of the Exhi bition has consisted in the picture-gallery. Rarely, if ever, has so large and so valuable a collection of ancient and modern pictures been open to the public. The Dutch, the Italian, the French, and the English schools of painting are all represented by excellent specimens of their respective styles, and admiring crowds have each day testified their appreciation of the masterpieces of art thus afforded to their view. Besides, too, the pleasure which this beautiful sight has given, much good has also undoubtedly resulted from it. The aspiring artist has had his taste corrected and his imagination enlightened by the contemplation of so many first-rate pictures ; he has perceived the defects of his own productions, and has returned to his easel perhaps disgusted with his previous attempts, but, fired with emulation and in structed by example, has forthwith commenced a new work in which he may avoid former errors and intro duce new ideas. The picture-fancier also, the admirer of art, the encourager of genius, has had a stimulus ap plied to his love of artistic excellence, and, by the pur chase of the best pictures, has given an additional induce ment to the struggling artist to produce works which may command a similar price. But, while fully acknowledg ing the great excellence of the Fine Arts Department, and while gratified at the effect which it must have upon Irish taste and feeling, we cannot refrain from expressincr . our, opinion that in an industrial Exhi bition, designed chiefly for the exposition of Irish products, too much fspace has been allotted, and too much attention has been paid, to the fine arts. It does seem rather extraordinary that the chief attraction of a great national exhibition should consist in a display of pictures chiefly by foreign painters—that a building de signed to contain products of ex i s ti ng i n d ustry and art should be especially remarkable for its samples of ancient masters. This apparent anomaly, however, would not be so reprehensible were it not the case that the Dublin Exhibition has not been sufficiently supplied with speci mens of the industrial products of Ireland, either in the shape of machinery or manufactures, and that even those which have been sent have not been put forward so pro minently as their merit deserved. The poplins, the linens, the laces—for all of which Ireland is so famous —have been stowed away in side galleries and obscure corners, while the best positions have been entirely mo nopolised by objects more calculated to delight the eye and to produce a brilliant effect than to 'develope the material resources of the country, and to exhibit the true cause of renewed confidence and prosperity—in fact, the useful has been in some degree sacrificed for the orna mental. Considering, however, the natural character of the Irish, we cannot be surprised that this failing should have attached to their Exhibition. They are well known to be a very imaginative people, to be ardent admirers of the beautiful, both in art and nature, and to be more fertile in design than successful in practice. In fact, they have not hitherto shown a due appreciation of the necessity of that stern practical industry which alone can insure success, and which appeals more to the understanding than to the senses. Although, however, exception may thus be taken to some particulars, in that the Exhibition has been rather more adapted to gratify the eye than to instruct the mind, yet it must be allowed that the whole scheme, in its conception, adoption, and com pletion, has tended more to elevate I re l an d i n t h e eyes of the world than could a short time since shave been believed possible. The noble liberality of one man commenced the good work ; the cordial no operation of intelligent and enterprising assistants enabled him to carry out his design, and the good feeliu g an d exem plary behaviour of classes of visitors crowned it with complete success. In short, Irish enterprise and Irish industry produced a building which showed the world what Irishmen, really united, could accomplish, and afforded an opportunity to Englishmen to evince their solicitude for the Irish interests by liberally contributing some of their valuable gems of art, After this practical refutation,.it can never again be asserted that Irishmen can design, but not carry into effect; but they must be careful not to forfeit the reputation which they have so lately gained, and they must remember that, having once shown what they can do, no excuse for the future can be accepted. We have seen that they can work out a plan without the destructive admixture of party or re ligious feeling ; let us hope that this is a good omen, and that these suicidal influences may loose their power. It is to be hoped, moreover, that advantage will be taken of the enthusiasm and activity produced by the Exhibi tion, and that steps will forthwith be taken to perpetu ate the improvement which it has produced in the aspect of their metropolis. Dublin is sadly deficient in institu tions which may afford rational and instructive enjoy ment to the public. She has no bazaars, no polytechnic galleries, no exhibitions of pictures—at least noneworthy of the name. The great objection to any such under takings has been the fear that they would be losing speculations, and that people would not visit them ' • but surely any apprehension on this score insist have been dissipated by the alacrity; the eagerness, with which all classes rushed to visit the Exhibition, and which suffi ciently indicated the interest which the Irish took in such spectacles. If, then, Dublin will bestir herself, and will organise some institution calculated to amuse aid instruct the people, and to show to them the beneficial results of combining ingenuity with practical working, she will hardly fail to cause the Great Industrial Exhibi tion of 1853 to be only the forerunner of a better era and of progressive prosperity COVET OF COMMON. COUNCIL. Yesterday the court was most numerously attended long before the appointed hour of meeting (12 o'clock) it being expected that some notice would be taken of the evidence adduced before the royal commission during the last two days. ROYAL COMIISSION — CORPORATION INQUIRY. As soon as the minutes of the last meeting had been read and passed. Mr. Under-Sheriff ANDERTON rose and said—My Lord Mayor, I wish to put what I think a very import ant question to the chairman of the consolidated com mittee. I know myself that it refers to one of a great many gross falsehoods which have been uttered before the Corporation Com Missioners of Inquiry. (Hear.) Alderman Wire—My Lord Mayor I move that stran gers do withdraw. Mr. ANDERTON—There is no occasion for strangers to withdraw. (Hear, hear.) Alderman WIRE—I persist in my motion that stran gers withdraw. Mr. ANDERTON was proceeding to say that the evi dence to which he had alluded had already appeared in the public journals, when the court was cleared of stran gers, who were re-admitted in the course of a quarter of an hour. Mr. Anderton, who was still on his legs, then proceeded as follows :—My Lord Mayor, I am not going to make any speech, nor am I going to answer all the - calumnies which have been uttered before the royal commissioners, but there is one calumny and one gross falsehood , which I think 5 right this court should lose no time in repelling. ft- is this: Mr. - 'Ac land in his evidence states, "That in 1849 the con solidated committee reported to the Court of Common Council that, in consequence of the newspapers at that period having said a great deal against the corporation, and from the peculiar position of the cor poration with her Majesty's Government, it was de sirable that a sum of money should be voted for the pur pose of putting themselves right with the press. The court received the report, and voted the sum of 1,0001. per annum for this purpose to the consolidated commit tee. 4,0001. has thus been spent in ordering hundreds of newspapers in cases where these newspapers have re ported, as the committee thought, satisfactorily. Of this money the Times never received a single farthing. The object of this expenditure was to induce the papers to give as favourable a report as possible of the corpo ration's proceedings. No detailed account of money so expended has ever been published." Why, no, because it never has been expended. " The Chairman—Who decides what paper shall be taken? Mr. Acland— The committee have confidence in - some of the offices, either high or low ; they take the orders, and execute them for the committee. There are fourteen alder men, exclusive of the Lord - Mayor, upon the consoli dated committee." Now, my lord, as a member of that committee, if there were a single word of truth in this statement, I should consider that I myself stood in a most degraded position, not only with respect to my constituents, but with respect to the public at large. (Hear, hear.) If there is any truth in the statement, I am an utter stranger to it. I declare that I do not know it. I have examined the accounts of the corpo ration for the past year, and if any such payments have been made, they have been smuggled in some way or other, for they do not appear. I think that I myself and the other members of the court ought to be de graded in the eyes of our respective constituents and the public, if we allowed this foul calumny to remain for one moment uucontradicted. I now ask the chairman of the consolidated committee if there is any foundation for the statements of Mr. Acland ? Mr. J. WOOD—I have asked the clerk, Mr. Wood thorpe, to get for me some documents to which I should have very much preferred making reference before answering the question, of which I have only just had notice. I always prefer to speak from documents themselves ; and, since Mr. Anderton rose, I asked Mr. Woodthorpe to find the report, and the order of the court consequent upon it, and then the court will be in possession of the circumstances of the case from the documents themselves. It would certainly puzzle me very much—as much as it would my friend Mr. Ander ton—to find that a thousand pounds a year, or anything like that sum, had been expended for the purpose in question. (Hear, hear.) No such thing. I would just take leave to say this to my friend—that it is exceedingly inconvenient, according to my mind, to be discussing the subject of this statement, because, although it is one to which, possibly an answer ought to be given, yet there are so many other statements of which notice must be taken at the proper time, that I feel the court may be placing itself in a wrong position by noticing this, and leaving all the others untouched, by reason of which an inference must be drawn that, whilst repelling the incorrectness of the particular assertion under dis cussion, we admitted the accuracy of the others. (Hear, hear.) The inquiry hardly assumes the shape which I think it must before it is at an end. But, my lord, I for one have the most entire confidence in the judgment, the integrity, and the honour of the commissioners to whom this matter is referred ; and I think that the be coming course for this court is to let those commissioners chalk out for themselves their own course of action. (Cheers.) They are commanded by the Queen to inquire into certain circumstances. Surely, therefore, they must be the best judges of how that inquiry is to be conducted, and how the truth is to be arrived at. (Hear, hear.) We have been informed by them that printed copies of the evi dence shall be sent us from time to time ; we have been informed, too, by them that reporters for the public press are to be present at their proceedings. We have also been informed that we, or any other party interested, may have a reporter present. We have had a reporter there, and we have got a copy of his shorthand notes under this roof at the present moment. At the proper time this court will have the fullest opportunity of stating their own case, and of referring to documentary evidence in existence. The evidence given upon former occasions a-ill be looked at now, and it will he open to this court and to the commissioners, who, I am sure, will most readily receive any suggestions which may be made to them. (Hear, hear.) It w ou ld not b ecome us, at this stage of the business, to be discussing what should or should not be done, and I do ask the court to wait with patience. I myself should feel delighted if I had the opportunity afforded me to-morrow of going before the commissioners with our officers, or that our officers should go without me, on-any of the other members of the court, for the purpose of correcting what has been mis-stated. That time has not come, but it will, and the sooner the better. (Hear, hear.) Meanwhile, I await with perfect contentment the course of conduct that the commissioners may deem it right to pursue, and I am sure that our fellow citizens will be patient, and will know and feel that we are--I will not say upon our trial—but waiting our own time, and that hereafter we shall have an opportunity afforded us of answering any statements that may have been made with reference to the conduct of this corporation. (Cheers.) Mr. WOODTRORPE then read a report of the conso lidated committee, dated Bth March, 1849, to whom the court had referred the subject of making arrangements to insure reports of its proceedings. The report recom mended that a considerable number of copies should be taken of any daily journal giving at the greatest length an account of the proceedings after each sitting of the count. [As great importance was attached to the contents of this document, our reporter requested the Town-clerk to furnish him with a copy of it for the purpose of publica tion, when that learned gentleman in a very courteous manner replied that he felt it his duty to decline com plying with the request, considering that the inquiry before the commissioners was still pending.] Mr. ANDERTON said he was very glad that the report had been read, and hoped it would be communicated to the public, who would, he was confident, suspend their judgment for the present. Deputy HoLT—I regret very much that the zeal of my very excel'ent friend Mr. Anderton should have urged him to put such a question, because the answer that has been given is rather favourable to the gentle man who has been charged with mis-statement. It ap pears that he made a mis-statement with regard to amount, but the fact depos e d t o i s th ere admitte clear as the sun at noonday. (Hear, hear.) Alderman WIRE —The result of this discussion shows, in my opinion, the mistake of bringing it forward. If the court will remember the position in which we are placed, upon full reflection, they will see that the digni fied and proper course is to abstain from all comments upOn the evidence taken by the commissioners until the opportunity comes , ---and it is certain to come—when, with documents, facts, and figures, all the statements which appear against the corporation may be explained, and satisfactorily explained, to the public. (Hear.) I am not one who desires secrecy. All my life I have courted publicity. I asked that strangers might with draw, not for the purpose of suppressing anything, but I wanted to state that which my friend Mr. Wood has placed before you in a few words—namely,. that the time is not come for us to answer the allegations made against us. When that time does arrive I have no doubt that the corporation will come out of the inquiry just as every friend to municipal institutions might desire. The proper and dignified course is to wait until we have an opportunity, and upon oath, of disprovi ng th e charge thus made. If we t a k e up these charges piecemeal, the inference on the part of the pub lic will he that we cannot deny the others. If we fix upon a certain statement, and every time we meet we are in the habit of commenting and asking questions upon it, the public will necessarily conclude that this was the only answer we could give to the statements so made. I trust, therefore, ,that the advice of my friend Mr. Wood will be taken, and that for the future, until the time comes when we can be examined upon oath before the commissioners, that we shall let this inquiry pass on and pursue its natural course, relying as we all do upon the honour and the integrity of the commis sioners, and upon the good sense of the public, to dis criminate between truth and falsehood. (Cheers.) Mr. GREslum—l think it due to the court and to the commissioners to state that I was present at the inquiry yesterday, and I never witnessed a more fair or more patient course of proceeding. There is thrown over this corporation by them a fair spirit of inquiry, and I hope we shall not deprecate any course which they may think proper to take. I think it exceedingly injudicious, un der the circumstances, feat my friend Mr. Anderton should have asked this question of the chairman of the consolidated committee. I presented myself in Downing street as a citizen of London, unconnected with this court, or with any committee of it. I made the inquiry whether strangers would be admitted, and the answer I received from one of the reporters was, "Reporters are admitted." When the proceedings began, I said to the secretary, "I am a citizen of London ;I am not a reporter may I be admitted, or is my presence objectionable ?" He immediately replied, " You are quite at liberty, sir, to take your seat." I cannot help thinking that we should be acting most injudicously by taking notice of any statements piecemeal, such as those which were yester day brought under the notice of the commissioners. Mr. FARRER—My Lord Mayor, however inconvenient it may be to have questions put, or answers given, a question has been publicly put to the chairman of the consolidated committee, and I do most sincerely hope that he, as their organ, will either make an admission of the truth of the statement before the commissioners, or give it a denial. I hope my friend will distinctly inform the court; as nearly as it is possible for him in the absence of documentary evidence, how' much has' been expended yearly in the- purchase of newspapers out of the funds of the corporation. (Cheers.) Mr. T. H. HALL—I believe the statement to be one of those which, having a little truth in it, is the more dangerous if you leave it unanswered. I hope the ques tion will be answered, and then it will be seen whether it is worth while to touch any of the other misstate ments. Mr. WOOD—When I am asked as to a matter of fact, I like, when I can speak from a document, to do so, and that was my reason for calling for the minutes of this court. The allegation that the corporation had authorised an expenditure of 1,0001. a year for the pur pose in question, has been answered by the document which the court has heard read. (Cries of "No, no.") There is no thousand pound mentioned at all, and there has been no report to the court consequent upon that statement. I thought I had conveyed my own feeling that the answer to these statements should be re served for a proper time and place ; but as the subject is pressed upon me, I do not shrink from saying that it was not true that 1,0001. a year, or anything like 1,0001. a year, was expended. (Cries of " Tell us what sum has been.") I will now tell the court what the com mittee, in the exercise of their discretion, thought it proper to do as a kind of temporary proceeding. The impression upon many members' minds at the time, was that perhaps there should be some communication of a permanent character, by which justice should be done to the conduct and character of the gentlemen composing this court. There was much difficulty in seeing how it could be done, but in the end the committee came to the conclusion of directing the hall-keeper in this place, without reference to name of paper or politics, or other wise, to look at the newspapers on the morning after each sitting of the court, and to select from them the one that seemed to him to contain the best account of the proceedings— Mr. BLAKE—The longest, the most voluminous account. Mr. WOOD—The hall-keeper was to select the news paper, which contained the longest account of the pro ceedings of the previous day. That course has been pursued up to the present time. The result of the order of the committee to the hall-keeper has been thought by members of advantage to the corporation in this way—it has brought to their notice that the pro c.aedings have been fully and fairly reported in many instances. The hall-keeper has, by direction of th e committee, ordered 300 cop i es f the paper containing the longest report of the proceedings of the court. Of this number about 250 are circulated amongst the mem bers of the court, the other 50 being sent to the town clerks of the various boroughs throughout the kingdom, in order that the country corporations may know what is going on here. The cost of this amounts to 51. or 6/ each time the papers are purchased, and does not ex teed 1501. a year. (To the hall-keeper) : Have you ever purchased the Times? Mr. TEMPLE, the hall-keeper, said he did not exactly know. Mr. WOOD—Several times to my knowledge. Deputy BENNOCH —Get at the fact at once. Mr. TEMPLE, on reference, found that the Times had been four times ordered during the year, the total num ber of orders during that period not exceeding thirty. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—I can say that the Times has been purchased. If I had been in court at the com mencement of the proceedings, as I ought t o h ave b een , I should have suggested to Mr. Anderton to put a simple question. Mr. ANDERTON—I did. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR— I should have suggested the question. Is there any statement of 1,0001. a year being spent in the manner described by Mr. Acland ? I then should have suggested to my friend Mr. Wood to report that there was no truth in the statement of Mr. Acland. (Hear.) lam quite sure that very many of the state ments made by Mr. Arland might be as this has been. But while you may complain of that gentle man on account of the course which he has taken, you might also, if you choose, complain of the next witness, namely Mr. BLAKE—I rise to order. I feel deep regret that, pending an inquiry of this kind, this subject should be further discussed. I hold it to be the • height of in decency that this matter should any longer occupy the time of the court, and move that we proceed to the business of the day. (Cries of oh, oh, and hear, hear.) Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR—WhiIe so much time has been allowed to be consumed with reference to Mr. Acland's statements, I say we should not be discharging our duty if we did not also put in the strongest disclaimer upon the observations and evidence of Mr. Travers. (Hear.) Deputy BOWER appealed to the Lord Mayor as to whether Mr. Taylor was in order, there beihg no motion before the court. The LORD MAvoi, said he considered that lie was. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he would not further occupy the attention of the court. The subject then dropped. TIIE APPROACHES TO THE PROJECTED NEW BRIDGE BETWEEN BLACKFRIARS AND SOUTHWARK. Deputy BENNOCH moved, " That it be an instruction to the improvement committee to retain possession of such ground on the western side of the Old 'Change, and on the south side of Watling-street, as is likely to be affected by the projected new bridge and the appro aches thereto, until this court shall have decided upon the report of the Bridgehouse Estates Committee, delivered in on the 14th day of April." Mr. ROSE seconded the motion. Deputy PEWTRESS thought that delay was necessary, in order that further information might be obtained upon the subject from the Bridgehouse Committee. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—It has been said by the seconder of the motion that the ground sought to be secured by Mr. Bennoch was not at present to be built upon. Why ? It was intended for the approaches to a new bridge. Iu a paragraph in the papers, a day or two since, this came out at a meeting held in Hastings, respecting the formation of a new line of railway from that town to the city of London. Besides, hundreds of thousands of pounds were involved in the question mooted by Mr. Bennoch ; and, believing that the project, as a whole, would not be beneficial to the citizens of London, he would move the previous question. Mr. T. H. HALL (the chairman of the Improvement Committee) requested Mr. Bennoch to withdraw his motion for the present. The Bridgehouse Committee had to report as to their conference with the directors of Southwar w k a - i b t. ridge, and, therefore, it was desirable for them to Mr. NORRIS observed that Mr. Bennoch had with great labour:proved to the Court that more bridge accom modation was required in the City. The matter was referred to a committee, and a report was brought up, stating that 300,0001. was required by the proprietors for that useless structure, Southwark-bridge. The ques tion as to the new bridge was still undecided, a n d now Mi. Bennochsaid, "As you have hung up my b r id ge ques tion, while you confer with the proprietors of Southwark bridge, now hang up your street improvements until the question of a new bridge 'be settled." As to the rail way scheme, that project was unknown and undeveloped altogether to Mr. Deputy Bennoch. That gentleman's project was for a bridge for public and ordinary traffic, and not for railway purposes at all. It might be that, since the idea as to the necessity of more bridge accom modation was entertained by Mr. I3entioch, the fitness of the site proposed for a railway southward was unde niable. He (Mr. Norris) was of opinion that no damage to the public would arise from blocking up the progress of building for some time, until plans and estimates could be prepared of a permanent structure, at a less suns than the Southwark people required for theirs—a structure which would do honour to the Corporation of that great and increasing City. Mr. HALL would engage that no steps should be taken for three months as to building upon the ground speci fied. He repudiated altogether, however, the leaving of the ground blank until sonic undefined scheme for a bridge was projected and carried out. Mr. BENNOCII would leave the matter in the hands of the Court, believing that the whole would be honourably carried out by the Improvement Committee, without prejudice to the proposal he had made. any railway ta The motion was th en w ithd rawn , M r . Bennoch having repudiated altog e th e i any connec ti on with iished for or railway brid ge sc h eme , or company b such a purpose.
