FALISSION. are large bridge-house estates in the borough of South wark, bringing in an income of many thousands a year to the corporation ; and the people of Southwark con sider that it should be expended in improvements, a fair share of which oug h t to be made in that Borough.' Yet during the whole fifty years that be had resided in Southwark the only improvement that had been effected from those funds was the building of London-bridge and its approaches. Improvements were very much wanted in Southwark, but he had never known the City to spend a single shilling for that purpose beyond what he had stated. Southwark had rendered good suit and service to the City, and in coming forward to demand their rights the people of that Borough were not like prodigal sons who had had their share of the funds and wasted it in riotous living. (A. laugh.) On the contrary, they had borne the burden of a connection with the City without sharing any corresponding advantages. Mr. H. Sturmy, another member of the deputation, stated that the dues exacted by the City from the trade of Southwark are levied from ships unloading on the Surrey side of the river. He wished to say a word on the subject of the conservancy. Twelve years ago there was a heavy overflowing of the river, and the waters flooded the houses of the poor, even to the first floor, causing the greatest suffering and misery. The bank was then raised to prevent the re currence of the evil, not, however, at the expense of the city, and at theth e joint owners expense private pese pofrtnhpeerpty. commis sionersavini3gyitaenn. nectioa with the City, South war k i s i nca p ac i a t e d f rom availing itself of the act p r o v idin g f or mun i c ip a l incor porations in the rest of the metropolitan parliamentary boroughs. w. 7. 10d, down. 1).b., down.

SAMUEL LA'AtERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of thc London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &e., &e. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro laced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all staces of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment 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 torms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitflad Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owo 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 Mint of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequent 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 free. In selecting thi , department of practice, he has been amply rem arded 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 empirles, 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.

TRADE OF NOTTINGHAM.-A good stroke of business has been doing since our last in all branches of the lace trade, with the exception of the black silk department. The Americans are leaving this country, having made extensive purchases, or rather leaving large orders for goods which are not yet made, so that there is every probability of the hands being tolerably well employed for some time to come. There have been several German buyers also in the town who have bought pretty freely. The shipping houses are also doing more business than usual at this period of the year; and are looking forward to the conclusion of the year in the full anticipation of better prospects opening up when the manufacturers have ascertained the position in which they stand. They are already beginning to take stock, and this proceeding will occupy this week and next. The workpeople en gaged in the warehouses are in the meantime more fully employed than they have been for some considerable time past. The hosiery trade has experienced quite as great an improvement as the lace department--orders have been coming in freely—especially for the better classes of goods. The common goods, particularly roundabouts, are not so much inquired after ; and it is thought by the manufacturers that the demand in this branch wiil not in future be so extensive as it has been, or as originally anticipated. —Nottinghamshire Guardian.

II Labouchere (the chaff n) Sir John Pat teson, and Mr. Cornewall Lewis. e first witness ex amined at this sitting was Mr. Joseph Lawrence, who statett--I am a stock broker in the city of London, iii 4arry on business under a license from the corp o r a ti on i • The business of the stockbrokers in the City is regulated by a committee of the Stock Exchange. The regulations are very strin gent. Every member must find heavy securities, not only to provide against cases of default, but as to his general character. Every sworn,,broker has to take up his freedom and pay a certain fine to the City ; and he has on admission to execute a hiond r binding himself only to carry on his business during the pleasure of the Court of Aldermen, and likewisq. to keep his books in a form which that Court prescribes. The restrictions imposed by the corporation are vaxatious, inconsistent with the spirit of the age, and iigmical to the freedom of trade. The City's regulations ftre, however, almost completely in abeyance. Th e annua l ,pyment exacted ' by the corporation from each broker is - 51; but, by the City having also the power of admitting worn brokers, they oblige the brokers in the firtit instance to take up their freedom, which entails upon thein considerable additional expenses. Until lately tke brokers could not obtain their freedom except ; thigh connection with one of the trading companies City. One of my own partners, on taking his freedon4 had to pay in fees to the town clerk, 18/. ; chamberlaqs fee, 81. 14s. 6d. ; and in addition to this a further sumpf 31/. 12s. 6d., and,.all this as expenses for taking up his freedom through the Wheelwrights' Comp` (which he selected as being the cheapest). Thus her could not act as a stockbroker until he had paid 581. 75., as preliminary ex penses, to make himself a freeman df the Wheelwrights' Company, his admission to which also involves a liability to all the services connected with the City companies. Another of my partners had to pay a still heavier sum for admission to the Worshipful Company of Painters ; and one result of the necessity of his joining that com pany was that he was compelled to act as master of the Painters' Company at the very time when he was fulfil ling the duties of the office of chairman of the Stock Ex change. There are more than 400 sworn brokers on the City's list, paying St. a year each, and yielding alto gether 1,0001. a year, over which the Court of Aldermen have entire control. The City requires a broker to enter into a security in his own name of 1,0001., besides find ing two other sureties of 2501. each ; but the characters of these sureties are not examined or inquired into by the City, and the regulation, therefore, affords no secu rity whatever to the public. The real security is afforded through the stringent regulations of the com mittee of the Stock Exchange itself, to which I have referred. This committee requires the mem bers of the profession to find substantial and bona fide securities, who are generally other members of the Stock Exchange themselves, and there is never a case of default occurring which is not strictly inquired into by the committee. I hold that the City's claim to the yearly fine paid by the stockbrokers is illegal, inasmuch as the only act under which it is pressed to be levied, viz., the 6th of QueeneAnne, does not include stockbrokers under the definition of " brokers," who are described in the act as persons dealing in "goods, wares, and mer chandise." Government annuities are a kind of property which was not in existence at the passing of the act of Queen Anne, in 1707 ; and I believe the rule of law is to construe a penal act, such as this is, strictly. It may be thought presumptuous in me to challenge the legality of the City's exaction, because the Court of Queen's Bench has decided in favour of the, right of the City in the case of Clarke v. Powell. What, however, I con tend is, that the claim is at least one of doubtful legality. The statute of the 6th of Anne was passed simply for the purpose of providing compensa.tion for an abolished office with a salary of 3001. a-year attached to it ; and, looking at the fees which have been exacted from the brokers since the passing of that statute, it is manifest that all claims for compensation must have been satisfied a century ago. Calculating the amount exacted from each broker at the low average of 301., this gives a total of 12,0001. levied in fees from the whole 400. To this day it is still necessary for a stockbroker to take up the freedom of the City, and my own freedoni cost me 12 guineas. The bond which the City require swore brokers to enter into is considered degrading by men occupying the position of broker to the Bank of England, or to Coutt's or Drummonds's. They have to engage not to carry on their business except during the pleasure of the Court of Aldermen, and to vfitar a badge with their name and number upon it, like ktoniron cabman. They are liable to a fine of 1,0001. if they -do not com ply. These regulations, however, are not eliforeed ; but it is humiliating to have to enter into a hem), to be sub ject to such degrading conditions. Mr. Lawrence con cluded by stating that he attended before the commis sioners in accordance with the wishese9/ certain influen tial members of the &oar/In:hang°. f The next • witnessexamtned was. The Rev. Mr. Dalton, rector of Lambeth, who stated that great injury was caused to the poor whose dwell ings abut upon the river between the Archbishop's Palace and Vauxhall-bridge, in consequence of the periodical overflowing of the Thames. The city of London, as the conservators of the Thames, had not, to his knowledge, done anything to rake the banks of the river in consequence of these floodngs. The misery caused to the poor, and the injury sustained by pro perty in Lambeth by the high tides were unknown be fore the building of the new Londor-bridge, and it is therefore argued by some that when the City rebuilt the bridge they ought to have guarda against the con sequential damage. The old bridge used to act as a dam, and prevent the river from overflowing at Lambeth. In a case of extraordinarily high tide, about two years ago, the water had to be pumped out of the dwellings of the poor. He believed the banks d the river did not belong to the City as eonservators of the Thames. but to the lords of the manor and the owners of the water side property. Mr. Beck, bargeowner, of Islewortlcattended to make some additions and corrections to his previous evi dence. He had been in error when he stated that ho could not navigate a barge from the Medway up to Isleworth by his own men. He then handed in a scheme for improving the regulations connected with the Thames, the chief recommendations of which were, that the exclusive privileges of the Watermen's Company should be abolished, and the trade on the river thrown open. He would also have all barges registered, and the conservancy of the river, he thought, should be placed in the hands of a board appoinVed by the Govern ment, and consisting of men acquainted with the subject, without any intervention whatever from the corporation of the City. If the river were properly managed, he believed that barges of 200 tons burden might go up as far as Kingston, but at present barges of only 90 tons could do so. The existing system operated very oppres sivqly upon honest and ind us t r ious men, who, not having beep apprenticed in their youth, cannot be admitted as freethen of the Watermen's Company. Mr. G. C. Ashby, Roman cement manufacturer, of Isleworth, corroborated Mr. Beck's evidence, and gave several instances in hi s own t r ade in which he: had wit nessed the inefficiency of the privileged bargemen of the Watermen's Company. Mr. Billett, one of the churchwardens of St. Pancras, appeared, by direction of the vestry of that parish, to present to the commissioners a cony of certain resolutions come to by that body on the subject of the extension of municipal institutions through the metropolis. The parish was not insensible to the advantages it at present enjoyed, but it was desirous of being invested with a distinct corporation of its own. Under such a system, they calculated with regard to the police that they would have the services of 50 per cent. more men at 25 per cent. less than the present cost. The management of the sewers in St. Pancras was also very defective at present, and although 18,000 1 . a-year was raised b y a 6 d. sewe r 's rate, not one-sixth of that amount was laid out in the parish. The contribution of St. Pancras to the county rate amounted to 8,0001. a year ; and yet the parish was badly served with magistrates. On these and other points, therefore, the feeling in the parish was that improvement and economy would be effected by the extension of municipal functions to St. Pancras. . A deputation from the borough of Southwark also attended. Mr. Pritchard, high bailiff of Southwark, spoke first. He said he appeared there officially to represent to the commissioners the result of the meeting recently held in Southwark on the subject of corporate reform. He read the requisition in compliance with which the meet ing was called, and also the resolutions which were there agreed to. [These resolutions have already appeared in The Sun, their purport being that the borough of Southwark demanded incorporation with the city of London, and a full participation in the City's rights and privileges.] Mr. Pritchard further stated that there were about 200 persons at the meeting which was held in the Town-hall. He himself as high bailiff, occupied the chair ex officio, and he considered that the meeting contained a fair average representation of the ratepayers of Southwark. Mr. Pritchard next entered into his torical details to show the ancient position of the Bo rough in its relation to the city of London. In reply to a question from the Chairman with regard to his own office, he said—The average amount of my emoluments as high bailiff of Southwark, including salary, fees, &c., is between 5001. and 6001. a year. I make a return of their amount annually, and they appear regularly in the accounts of the corporation. I believe the feeling of the borough of Southwark is in favour of incorporation with the City ; but rather than remain as it is at pre sent, the Borough would prefer a separate incorpora tion for the w h o l e e i g h t par i shes of which it now con sists. Southwark would require to be exempted from the jurisdiction of the county of Surrey, if it were to be fully incorporated with the City. It would not consent to be part and parcel of the City and to bear the burdens of the county at the same time. Mr. T. Pocock, another member of the deputation from Southwark, said that he had resided in the Borough for the last 50 years. The inhabitants had been strug gling for years, by petition to the City corporation and otherwise, to be reinstated in their ancient and rightful position as a p ar t o f th e Cit y , possess i ng t h e r i g ht of I sending representatives to the municipal council. There Mr. J. C. W. Bennett—l am a solicitor practising in the city of London, and have had considerable experience in election proceedings. Previous to the late contest for the office of chamberlain, application was made to Mr. Potter, the City seconda r y, by M r . B rown an d himself, as the agents for Mr. Scott, and by Mr. Ledger as the agent for Sir J. Key, with the view of inducing the adoption of a diff eren t arrangemen t f or ta ki ng the votes of the livery from what had hitherto prevailed. They recommended that, as there was no proper regis tration of the livery, polling booths ought to be opened and arranged in the alphabetical order of the livery companies, in the same manner as was done at the elec tion for members of Parliament ; but Mr. Potter stated that he could not accede to the request, as the election was held under the specific provisions of the 11th of George I. chap. 18. Now he (Mr. Bennett) said that there was nothing iu that act to prevent the adoption of any such suggestion. At present the elections at com mon hall were liable to great abuse. In all contests for the office of chamberlain the poll remained open seven days, exclusive of Sunday ; while in the case of a parlia mentary election in the City, the poll only lasted one day. The total number of liverymen was 10,000, and 3,000 of them did not appear on the parliamentary regis ter, because they did not live within the seven miles' limit. Barriers are thrown up at the Guildhall ostensibly, to exclude lion-voters, but the beadles only attend to keep away the crowd during the first day, and hence anybody can obtain Admission to the hall, and check is consequently removed. The evils of the present system are the want of a complete register of the livery for the guidance of the poll-clerks, and the absence of all pro tection against double voting, fictitious votes, perjury, subornation of perjury, personation of voters, and bri bery. The opinion among the livery (inasmuch as the act regulating these elections is silent on the subject of bribery) is, that it is not even morally wrong to take money for their votes. The elections of members of Par liament for the city of London are all tainted with the " long-shore interest ;" but they are kill pure and im maculate, as compared with the contests for municipal offices. I know nothing except from report of the ex penses incurred on both sides in the late contest for the chamberlainship. It is said they amounted to little short of 10,0001. Mr. Scott's expenses exceeded 3,0001., sub ject of course to some deduction for the cost of a testi monial, which was given to Mr. Scott by his friends. At these elections there are a class of men who make a mar ket by supplying a quota of false votes from day to day, with the view of pludering the candidates. The object of these persons is to make the number of votes for each candidate, at the close of each day, as equal as possible, in order to prolong the contest, and to enable their own extortionate demands to pass with as little diminution as possible. In illustration of this I have prepared a table, showing what took place at the last election of cham berlain. On the first day's poll Sir John Key had a ma jority of 16. On the second day Mr. Scott had a majority of 78. On the third day Mr. Scott had a majority of 59. On the fourth day Mr. Scott had a majority of 25. On the fifth day it was considered time that the majority should change sides, and accordingly Sir J. Key was placed in a majority of 15. On the sixth day Sir J. Key had a majority of 71 ; and on the last day Sir J. Key's majority was 267. He had collected from the poll clerk's returns that during the seven days' poll votes were recorded in favour of Sir J. Key by persons who were not qualified to vote, and 129 of the same class of votes for Mr. Scott ; whilst there were also 25 double votes recorded for Sir J. Key, and 7 for Mr. Scott : making the total of false and fictitious votes re corded 362, against which, under the present system, it is impossible to guard. Mr. C. Lewis—You say that the majority was made to change sides—how was that managed ? Mr. Bennett—By bribery and corruption, by alder manic influence, and various other disgraceful modes which are resorted to. Mr. Scott was the popular candi date. Five persons were given into custody for falsely pretending to be voters. However pure a candidate's motives may be it is impossible for him to escape en tirely from the contaminating influence of the men who make a traffic in suborning persons to personate voters, living as well as dead. Supposing these elections to be continued in the hands of the livery, he would make one or two suggestions for correcting existing abuses. First, he would limit the poll-taking to one clear day, and next he would limit the constituency to those of the livery who reside within the Parliamentary range of seven miles ; and he would disfranchise all liverymen receiving alms. He would also compel the officers of the livery companies to revise the lists every year, and lie would have Guildhall divid e d i n t o fi ve poll ing booths, arranged in the alphabetical order of the companies ; or, in default of that, he would require each company to take the votes of its members at its own hall. He would also compel the masters and beadels of the companies to be present during the entire poll. At present a scrutiny of the votes taken would be impossible within the time allowed for the purpose. The witness then withdrew. Mr. T. H. Saunders, paper-maker, of Dartford, stated that the coals supplied to the town in which he resided were subject to the coal tax levied by the City, as it came within the twenty miles limit. There was a con siderable trade carried on at Dartford, and it was re garded as a great hardship that the coal consumed there should be burdened with a tax in the expenditure of which the town had no interest or participation what ever. His own consumption of coal in the manufacture of paper amounted to 100 tons per week, the tax upon which was a heavy impost reckoning the whole years' consumption. Mr. John Thomas Norris examined—l am a member of the Court of Common Council, and have been so for the last seventeen years. lam also a member of the' consolidated committee of the corporation. In the year 1549 complaints were made that the reports of the pro ceedings of the corporation were not given with suffi cient fulness by the newspapers, and some members of the consolidated committee expressed a desire to have the reports given more in. extenso. The consolidated committee accordingly originated a report to the Court of Common Council, asking to be permitted to take means to promote the circulation of more lengthened re ports. The committee's report was agreed to by the court, and the committee had leave granted to it to ex pend a sum not exceeding 1,0001. in the publication of reports by the purchase of a newspaper, or by such other modes as they might think desirable. The Chairman—Was there a discretionary power vested in the committee to expend this money on the press in any manner which they thought desirable ? Mr. Norris— I think the committee must have con sidered themselves empowered to expend the money in any manner which in their discretion they deemed fit. The Chairman—ln what manner was it actually ex pended? Mr. Norris—l am imperfectly informed on the sub ject, because I believe there was a sub or select commit. tee of some five members, of whom 1 was not one ; and I think the other members of the consolidated commit. tee, unless they were more active than myself, would nut know the exact mode in which money was expended any more than I did. The Chairman —Do you recollect any project being started for establishing a newspaper connected with the corporation ? Mr. Norris—There were two or three projects afloat respecting an organ for the corporation, but in a multi tudinous body like the consolidated committee, having, I believe, as many as 45 or 46 members, great difficul ties accompanied the atainment of such an object. It was indeed temporarily and very imperfectly attained by the Citizen, but the difficulties of conducting the e s s e,C_r h e! negotiations incidental to such a project as the views lishment of a newspaper, and the very differentt ong so with regard to it which would be entertained at numerous a body, rendered the accomplishinea a design almost impossible. it right, as The Chairman—Would you have thought such a man money In a committeeman, to spend any riety of ner ? rop tive at the of such Mr. Norris—l speak irrespec n u er riau. lo o ked that such a proceeding but if any g terms of the resolution of th h e orised to employ the vo f articles in favour o the committee was fully a r u m t or of he would find noney was spent the corporation. in the publication of rePo Do you think any / or to support the The Chairman — a ne wspaper, in the attempt to g a t up have adverted ? court w i t be l ieve newspaper t7 s w Mr. Neff - t be able to speak definitely on me _o • t enough for the chamberlain's chief clerk, distinc I believe it was, but my memory . is not ~,r,.. seat, that point. .111. be able to give you information on that will, however, Norris then proceeded to give. evidence subject. as regard?" the system he spoke to the same effect as of making dinner allowances to the co mmittees , on which what ched. io ... ol 01 • •• til ••, npton apton ipton Ipton Ipton Dec. l 6 6 Dec. 9 0 Nov. 1 6 Dec' Nov.

(Hear.) But it was announced in the notice which we put forth some time ago, and announced I think wisely, that we were not pre , pared - to commence the undertaking —we were not prepared to call for the sums which had then been promised —unless we could obtain something in the nature of a guarantee from those who were to benefit from the operations of this institution that they would take it up, that they would carry it on, and that they would :A least find the re quisite funds to cover the necessary expenses. For that purpose we fixed upon , the sum of 401. yearly, to be made up by annual subscriptions. lam happy to say that, from the promises which we have already received, we may now count upon at least that sum. (Loud cheers.) I cannot give you at this moment the exact amount of the annual subscriptions promised, but this I can state, positively and confidently, that they more than cover the amount we re quired in the first instance=namely, 401. a year. (Cheers.) I believe they will much more than cover it •, I believe, from the premises we have already received, that our in come will exceed 501. a year—(cheers)—but at all events we have accomplished two of the points at which we arrived—we have received promises for 400/. as a capital to begin with, and we have received a guarantee for sub scriptions producing more than 401. of annual income. Now, as to the rate of subscription. Of course it is a groat object with us, in fact it is the very purpose for which we have set this undertaking on foot,--it is agr asib estletoall object with is to op en th e library as nearly as possible who may be desirous of availing themselves of it. If it had been in our power to make it entirely free, that would have been to us a most satisfactory arrangement ; but we could not make it entirely free—we could not make the ~ 1! admission entirely gratuitous unless we had, in addition to the funds required to cover the original expenditure, sufficient funds to provide permanently for the annual out lay. Such a fund we have not obtained, and, therefore, we shall be under the necessity of so far limiting the ope rations of the institution as to make a subscription, not exceeding ss. a year if paid quarterly, or 4s. a year if paid in advance, a necessary qualific a ti on f or admission. (Hear.) I think, knowing what the rate of wages is in this town — knowing something of the general prosperity which pre vails here amongst the artisan class—l hope that the rate of subscription which we have fixed will not be so high as to exclude any one who may be desirous to avail himself of the benefits of the institution. (Hear, hear.) We reckon that 200 subscribers at 4s. yearly, taking the lowest sum, an d supposing, which we have no reason to suppose, that gives us any assistance beyond his regular and ne e work ing oo no ss o sa n y e subscriptions — at that, the lowest estimate, we shou e l x d p s hav e e s o , b o t f a c in ou ed rs t e h t e h 4o a t 1 i s w a e matter require. . s to the which it impos sible to calculate with any precision unless we have the actual experience. There will, of course, be a curator— a gentleman charged with the care of the books. Ten Pounds a year will be required to cover his expenses —I will not say sufficient to offer as a remuneration, but as an acknowledgment of his trouble. The building and repairing re mainder, whatever it may be, will be applied to the which may be destroyed from wear and tear ; and in adding, we already possess. of the books; in replacing works as I think we shall be able to do, new works to the stock confess, for my own p ( a C r li t, ee i rs t ) w . u lo l t d f *a h library should be in the nature is intended I p be le e a n su a r b e le i t f o , etoogmebthineer awpitlhanthfoer leandreinarlitzt, lending giv e given library. ni that eg, 1 . t h j ea s t cheers.) lam glad to see you think reading room. . so well of that pro ject, because I hope that we shall come to it at la tinned cheers)—but whatever we do we must be last--(con tinned we e L h ou ad d we must not try to run before we can w z.:suti h ous ; hear, and laughter) —we must recollect that institutions(ear° of this kind have been taken up elsewhere with great zeal and energy, but when the enthusiasm of the moment has cooled away they have been left without funds. Ido not anticipate that such will be the case here ' • but we must take precauti o n s aga i ns t suc h a danger, and therefore to guard for the present (and I hope it will be only for the present) we have preferred the more simple and the more economical plan of having a lending library only. (Hear, and cheers.) Ido not know, gentle men, that it will be requisite that I should enter at any length upon the details or arrangements which we propose to establish. Much will have, of course, to be settled by and by—much will have to be learned by actual practical experience ; ,but, generally speaking, I may say that our object is, while we Am anxious that our lib rar y should con tain a stock of works calculated to supply sound general knowledge in almost every department of study, we are especially anxious at the same time not to exclude works of a somewhat lighter character—works of amusement, as well a.i of instruction—works which are not, perhaps, so well cal culated to afford practical knowledge and instruction, but which will, at all events, have the effect of inducing peOple to read—or enabling those to find pleasure in reading who found no pleasure in reading before, and substituting a harmless and intellectual for those less intellectual, and perhaps less harmless pleasures, which we all know a r e t o be found'elsewh ere . (H ear, and cheers.) You are, perhaps, aware that in many of the libraries which have been esta blished in the large toOns very careful returns have been drawn out, showing what books are taken out and what class of books are most valued and studied. From these returns in Manchester I believe it has been found that a very large proportion of the works taken out, and, there fore, we presume, studied, are works of a somewhat grave and instructive character. In Liverpool, I saw it stated in the last return published, that one half of the works taken out were works of amusement only. Now, Ido not think that is at all a bad sign. Of course it is very right and very desirable that men should study, in order to improve themselves ; but oven reading for the mere purpose of amusement is a great pleasure—it is a very harmless pleasure ; it is a pleasure which tends to improve ment—and it is a pleasure which we are now desirous of putting within the reach of all classes of the inhabitants of this town. {Hear, hear.) * Gentlemen, Ido not know that I need detain you any longer. I have given you, I believe, an ample explanation of the objects which we propose, and of the means by which we intend to carry them out. (Hear, hear.) Ido not know that there is anything more I can add at this moment, but if any gentleman has any question to put—if there is any further explanation which I can afford on any point upon which I have not touched, I shall have groat pleasure in doing so. (Cheers.) The noble chairman concluded by calling upon The Rev. L. W. Sampson, the Rev. J. S. R. Evans, Mr. W. Pilkington, Mr. Ward, and other gentlemen, who afterwards addressed the meeting. Among the subscrip tions announced were 1001. from the Earl of Derby, and 1001. from Lord Stanley ; SO/. from Sir T. B. Birch, Bart. ; 501. from Richard Willis, Esq., and various smaller sums. previous witnesses. The effect of these dinners was to obtain a fuller attendance at the committees, and he was afraid the attendance would very much decline if the dinners were abolished. He would do away with the special customs and privileges of the City, which had outlived their utility, such as the metage dues, the fellowship-porters' peculiar rights, cart tolls, and other exactions. He thought the Lord Mayor ought to con tinue to be elected from the Court of Common Council or the Court of Aldermen. As a means of securing that he should possess the requisite knowledge and expe rience for the. proper discharge of his duties as presi dent of the municipality. The municipal and magiste rial functions of the alderman ought to be dissevered, or in other words he would not allow the court of Alder men to continue to vote away any, part of the City funds without being responsible to the constituent body. He would, however, allow all aldermen who had passed' the chair to remain as magistrates. The Court 0 001I1M011 Council should not consist of more than 100 members. The principal salaried 'officers of the corporation were men of high integrity and ability, and that circumstance he regard e d as a great secuety y, to the public. When the corporation was in conflict with the Government on the subj ec t o f Smithfield -market there was a very lavish expenditur e o f th e corporation funds. A body of gentlem en , ac ti ng i n the mar ketscommittee, subscribed ' their own funds for the purposes of th e to the y Government, b u t th e money they expended on opposition that object must h ave b een ten times the amount of their own private subscriptions. The money went partly for cir culating large numbere of pamphlets gratuitously which were written by doct ors an d me di cal men, who had thing else to do, and w h o d escanted in their product' nne. upon the sanitary blessings derived from the regular assemblage of cattle in Smithfi e ld. ( A laugh.) The accounts rendered of this expenditure gave no details of the different items ; they are rendered in a vague and loose manner, and it would have been quite useless for him (Mr. Norris) to have moved for returns detailing this expenditure, the feeling of the Court was so strong against him on the subject of the removal of Smithfield. Mr. Robert Robarts, fish factor, of 118, Lower Thames-street, examined—The charge paid to the cor poration for a standing in the market at Billingsgate used to amount to 30s. a year, before 1823. Since 1823 the charge has been raised to 9s. a week. He could not tell what was the cause of the increase ; but gas has been fitted up in the market. There is no complaint about the present amount of rent charged in the market, or of the regulations of the corporation, or of the con duct of the City officers. There may be one or two per sons in the market who are not satisfied, but there would always be a few discontented people in any body. Mr. Finlay, a liveryman, residing in Fenchurch-street, next tendered evidence on the subject of the livery com panies ; but his statements did not appear to contain any material facts coming within the scope of the inquiry. The commission then adjourned (as we understood) till Tuesday next. LORD STANLEY AT PRESCOT. A public meeting was held in the Town-hall, Prescot, on Thursday, to take into consideration the means of establishing a public library for the use of Prescot and the neighbourhood. The announcement that Lord Stanley was to take the chair drew together a numerous company, the hall being completely filled. Shortly before twelve o'clock Lord Stanley entered the hall, accompanied by the Rev. L. W. Sanipson, the vicar of Prescot, and was re ceived with enthusiasm. Lord STANLEY, on rising, was received with loud ap plause. , When the cheering had subsided, he spoke as follows :—Ladies and Gentlemen—l am well aware that there are . many present in this room to whom it is au object not to be detained 'longer than is absolutely indis pensable for the business for which we are met. We aro here assembled not . for any purpose of display, - but as practical. men, met together to accomplish a practical object. (Cheers.) • You are probably aware that through out this country, and,. indeed, I may say through. out many other countries, there has been a very general and a very influential movement in favour of the •establishment of public libraries. I need not go beyond the limits of our own country to explain what I mean. In Manchester there has been established a public library which numbers its volumes, not by thou sands, but by tens of thousands. (Hear, hoar.) In Sal ford, also, a similar institution has been established, and which has met with equal success ; and in Liverpool a very extensive public library has also been established-- e (hear), and, judging by the reports which I have seen, I believe it has met there with great and deserved success. There is scarcely any town—there is scarcely any town throughout the manufacturing districts of England—there is scarcely any large . town in any part of England in which some institution of a similar character has not been este , Unshed. I have seen it computed somewhere, and I believe the calculation is correct, or pretty nearly so, that there aro now between 700 and sao mechanics' insti tutions Ihrotighout the various towns of England, all of whiclihave libraries, larger or smaller, attached to them. And this is not the case only in England. I saw it stated the other day that in Franca there were 87 towns, in each of which there existed a public library containing not less than 10,000 volumes, and that there arc 192 towns in which, collectively, the number of volumes contained in the pub lic libraries exceeds three millions. (Hear, hear.) In the United States again—although there, from the population not being gathered together in such dense masses as in this country—although there, upon that account, greater material difficulties present themselves, the movement in favour of public libraries is already very widely diffused, and I believe that they are now being este-, blished in almost every large town of the Union. Now gentlemen, the object for which we are met is to show that we, the inhabitants of Prescot, aro not be hind hand with the rest of the world. (Cheers.) We have here a large population—a population, I believe, ex ceeding 7,ooo—we have, I am happy t o say , a population a great part of which is remarkably well off ; we have `no inconsiderable amount of wealth, and I will not exactly say that it is a reproach to us that we have no institution of the kind at present ; but I do say it certainly would be a reproach if, whilst public libraries are being established everywhere, we alone were to lag behind—we alone were to remain unprovided with this great means of educational instruction. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, it would really be a waste of time to expatiate to you upon the uses and advantages of such an in stitution as we propose to establish here. It is very diffi cult to say how large a library—it is really difficult to say how extensive a collection of books must be provided for a library which is intended to contain the means of provid ing elementary knowledge in all the branches of human study—it is of course difficult to fix the limits of such an institution ; but I suppose I may say—and I take the very lowest •estimate—that you cannot have a really good library of even elementary works on all the great departments of study that shall not contain between 3,000 and 4,000 volumes. I take these numbers, of course, at random, for it is impossible to fix a li m it t o it • but with a less num ber of books you cann o t h ave a really valuable collection. (Hear, hear.) Now, ge n tl emen, I h ardly need say that a collection of that ext en t i s one w hi ch very few persons have the time or the mean s , even if t h ey had the incl t i o nation,t o collect ; and what our o bj ect, therefore, is this question of publi c i ns t ruct i on the same Pis rincip a le PPiy which has already been applied to many other matters --I mean the principle of association. (Hear, hear.) It is only b v qombination in this man ner —i t i s only by establishing a library which shall not be the property of on e in dividual, but the property of all of you, and accessible to all—to all, that is to say ' who desire it, and who choose to qualify themselvesy' thereto—it is onlyfor admission by that means that you can bring together such a collection of works as shall satisfy the requirements of the student. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I apprehend that there is no difference of opinion among us with regard to the impor tance of this object, and theonly question we hay.° stet to discuss is, how that object shal be cart ictaoact o_l`, this there is one remark which I am anxious tok_ n head.
