COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Thursday a Court was held for the dispatch of put- lic business. THE ROYAL COMMISSION. De'puty Bionvocu—My Lord Mayor, before proceed ing to the business of the day, I wish to ask a question which may be of advantage to some members of this Court. It is in connection with the royal commission appointed to inquire into the doings of the corporation of London. I observed in a letter yesterday certain statements made, and the letter itself was dated from one of the Goiernment offices it the West-end. This morning I find another letter, referring to the same subject, dated from King's Bench-walk, Temple. I wish to know whether the royal commissioners are to conduct their inquiry at the West-end of London or in the City, or whether any definite arrangement has been made in the matter ! (Hear, hear.) I cannot help thinking that it would be more convenient if these gentlemen would come into the City, rather than drag people to the West-end of London, at very great inconvenience, for the purpose of being examined. (Hear, hear.) Is the exact locality known in which these gentlemen intend to hold their hiquiry, and, if so, where is it ? (Hear, hear.) The Lord MAvou—The inquiry certainly will be com menced in Downing-street, at the office of the First Lord •of the Treasury. I was surprised to see the letter thao„ appeared in yesterday's papers, because, as I un derstood, it was a letter communicated to me as the head of this corporation, and as I had shown it to no one it could not have been from any copy of that letter that the communication appeared in the newspapers as having been addressed to the Lord Mayor. (Hear, hear.) I have written to the commissioners stating m y surprise, and assuring them that whatever infor mation is necessary for the inquiry will be most freely and cheerfully afforded by the officers of this corpora tion, and that I should not feel myself at liberty to com municate to the public press any communication that the commissioners might choose to send to me without their sanction. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WOOD—As this subject has been mooted, it is right that I, as chairman of the consolidated commit tee, to whom this Court referred the watching and the conduct: of this business on the part of the corporation, should say a word. Seeing that letter in the newspaper yesterday, I, accompanied by the Remembrancer, thought it my duty to call upon the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of ascertaining by what means it had obtained publicity. (Hear, hear.) I was very much relieved on learning from his lordship that it bad not obtained publicity from anything he had either done or said. How that letter got into the papers his lordship does not know, nor can he, nor can you ; but I should certainly have thought it the very height of indiscretion, if I may be pa r d one d for saying so, if his lordship had, without the sanction of the commissioners, permitted that document to go forth, because, upon the face of it, it might or might not be intended as a public communication. It was a do cument sent for the information of this Court. The consolidated committee met yesterday, and passed a re solution desiring the town-clerk to communicate with the secretary to the commissioners, requesting to be in formed whether it was the intention of the Government to hold their sittings in public or in private. (Hear, bear.) The committee, of course, can assume nothing. They know nothing farther than the information con veyed to his lordship. An answer, no doubt, will be re turned to that communication, and, when received, the committee will meet, and will, if necessary, come up to this Court. I ask the Court not to come to any conclu sion themselves as to what course the commissioners intend to take. The matter will be watched by the con solidated committee in conjunction. In. the meantime, the committee may rely upon the interests of the cor poration being thoroughly guarded by the consolidated committee. DUES OF THE PORT OF LONDON. The TowN CLERK read the following document, which had been received by the Lord Mayor : " Shipping Dues Commission-office, 15, Parliament street, Oct. 18, 1853 • "My Lord,—Her Majesty 'having been pleased to issue a commission, of which a copy is attached, we, the commissioners, have the honour to request that your lordship will be good enough to furnish us with the re quisite information as respects the charges (with the ex ception mentioned in the commission) levied or leviable in the port of London on ships, or on goods carried in ships, by or on behalf of the corporation of the city of London. "We have the honour to forward to your lordship some copies of the questions which we have addressed to the, authorities of the various harbours throughout the kingdom, showing the particular points to which our in quiries are directed. "We have the honour to be, my Lord, your most obedient servants, " H. MANNERS SUTTON. " C. B. W. D. BETHUNE. " COLIN BLACKBURN." CONTEMPLATED PURCHASE or SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE. Mr. It. C. BUCKNALL, chairman of the Bridgehouse Estates Committee, moved the adoption of the following report, which was read by Mr..Woodthorpe : " To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled. "We whose names are hereunto subscribed, your com mittee for letting the Bridgehouse Estates, to whom, on the 12th of May last, it was referred to consider whether it was desirable to throw open Southwark-bridge, and to ascertain if the proprietors were willing to dispose of their interest therein, also to consider the terms for so doing, and to confer with her Majesty's Government as to raising the necessary funds for the purpose, do certify that we proceeded in the said reference, and caused to be laid before us the several proceedings of the committee in relation to a former negotiation with the directors of the Southwark-bridge Company, when they stated their willingness to sell the bridge for the sum of 300,0001., and having carefully considered the same, we directed a com munication to be made to the directors of the Southwark bridge Company, referring to the former negotiation, and stating that we had since been given to understand that some alteration had taken place in the views of the company, and requesting to be informed of the terms upon which the directors would now be disposed to part with their interest in the bridge. We have since received a letter from the secretary to the company, stating that the directors were of opinion that subsequent to the com munication which passed between them and your com mittee in 1849, circumstances had occurred to increase the prospective value of the bridge ; and the directors, therefore, did not feel justified in recommending the pro prietors to sell the bridge with the approaches for a less sum than 300,000/. ; but, if your committee would agree to purchase the bridge at that sum, exclusive of Parliamentary and all other expenses, the directors would take the sense of the proprietors thereon ; and we, hav ing fully considered the subject, are of opitiion that it would not be expedient to purchase Southwark-bridge upon the terms proposed by the company. All which we submit to the judgment of this honourable Court. "Dated this 14th day of October, 1853. "R. E. BUCKNALL, JAMES BAILEY, JAMES WATERLOW, J. It. THOMPSON, JAMES M. BARNARD, R. CHAPLIN, THOS. BARKLEY, W. LISTER, R. G. PEAD, W. HAWTREY, JOSEPH CAUSTON, J AMES W ARREN, WILLIAM W. PlLasEit." Deputy BENNOCH said that part of the reference made to the Bridge-house Estates Committee was to inquire of the Government whether they would assist the corpo ration in any way in raising the funds. As the com mittee were silent upon this point, he apprehended they considered the sum so preposterously large that they had taken no step upon this part of the reference. Deputy PEWTRESS said he should be very sorry if the Court were to agree to the report under the present cir cumstances, which were of a different character to those existingin 1849. When it was considered that Cannon street had been rebuilt, that Queen-street had been pulled down as far as Southwark-bridge, it must be at once per ceived that the bridge was infinitely more valuable now than it was a few years ago. (Hear, hear, hear.) Ex treme inconvenience was sustained daily on account of the crowded, state of London-bridge and its approaches, and it was quite evident that another bridge was re quired fat the purpose of conveying the enormous traffic of the Clty to the Surrey side of the water. (Hear, hear.) SouthTgark-bridge would take off more than one-third of the traffic, and would be one of the great6st possible relir,fa to the metropolis. The bridge had cost between 7'0%000/. and 800,0001., and the proprietors now offered to sell it for 300,0001., thus making an immense pecu niary sacrafice ; and as a new bridge and proper ap- Preaches could not be made for anything like this sum, would move —" That the report be referred back to the committee, to ascertain by professional inquiry as to the str ength and durability of the Southwark-b r id g e, and that th ey be authorised to continue the negotiation With the di rect , Mr. ROSE said, and t o re p or t t o thi s C ourt.

(H ear, hear.) "- Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said the present subject had occu pied the attention of the Bridge-house Estates Committee f . years ; and it would be i n th e recollection or some of many members of the Court that an interview took place between a deputation of the committee and the directors of the bridge company upon this very ques tion, inasmuch as the corporation felt, as they did now, the great necessity for increasing the accommodation for the traffic across the river. (Hear, hear.) The cor poration were sincere in their desire to afford the public greater accommodation, if it were possible to obtain it, and with this view they applied to the directors of the ' company. In order to obtain something like the value of the bridge, the deputation wished to ascertain the then income, but the directors were opposed to giving - any information upon this part of the question, and said that their present receipts had nothing to do with the sale of the bridge. Still the committee felt it to be an essential ingredient in the negotiation to ascertain what the income of the dompany was, and upon inquiry they 3U144 . ! , LONDON, SA.TTYRDAY EVENING, oCTOBEYI, eg, 21 - 'OIZ2'INCi INT.E 1, L.IG-EiN I (LE . • found that there were original proprietors or share holders, and preference shareholders, and that the latter I -. were secured something like 10 per cent. before the former ; NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING could receive anything.

LORD PALMERSTON ON CHOLERA AND NATIONAL FASTS. At the ordinary meeting of the Presbytery of Edin burgh, on Wednesday, the Moderator stated that in consequence of the conversation which had taken place at the previous meeting on the propriety of a day of hu miliation and prayer on account of the visitation of cholera, he had written to Lord Palmerston, stating that " the members of Presbytery were of opinion that it was likely, under the circumstances, that a national fast would be appointed on Royal authority. For this reason (the communication proceeded to say) they delayed making an appointment for this locality, and directed me, in the meantime, respectfully to request that you would be pleased to say—if you feel yourself at liberty to do so—whether the appointment of a national fast by the Queen is in contemplation." In reply, the following letter was received from the Home-office : There will be 14 races. The first at 11; the Hough ton Handicap at 12.25 • the Second Nursery Stakes at 2.15 ; the last race at 4.15. A special train will leave Newmarket for London at a quarter-past 5. " Whitehall, Oct. 19, 1853. " Sir—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th in stant, requesting, on behalf of the Presbytery of Edin burgh, to be informed whether it is proposed to appoint a day of national fast on account of the visitation of the cholera, and to state that there can be no doubt that manifestations of humble resignation to the Devine Will, and sincere acknowledgments of human unworthiness, are never more appropriate than when it has pleased Providence to afflict mankind with some severe visita- tion ; but it does not appear to Lord Palmerston that a national fast would .be suitable to the circumstances of the present moment. " - The Maker of the Universe has established certain laws of nature for the planet in which we live, and the weal or woe of mankind depends upon the observance or the neglect of those laws. One of those laws connects health with the absence of those gaseous exhalations which proceed from over-crowded human beings, or from decomposing substances, whether animal or vegetable ; and those same laws render sickness the almost inevit able consequence of exposure to those noxious influences. But it has at the same time pleased Providence to place it within the power of man to make such arrangements as will prevent or disperse such exhalations so as to ren der them harmless, and it is the duty of man 'to attend to those laws of nature, and to exert the faculties which Providence has thus given to man for his own welfare. " The recent visitation of cholera, which has for the moment been mercifully checked, is an awful warning given to the people of this realm that they have too much neglected their duty in this respect, and that those persons with whom it rested to purify towns and cities, and to prevent or remove the causes of disease, have not been sufficiently active in regard to such matters. Lord Palmerston would, therefore, suggest that the best course which the people of this country can pursue to deserve that the further progress of the cholera should be stayed, will be to employ the interval that will elapse between the present time and the beginning of next spring in planning and executing measures by which those por tions of their towns and cities which are inhabited by the poorest classes, and which, from the nature of things, must most need purification and improvement, may be freed from those causes and sources of contagion which, if allowed to remain, will infallibly breed pestilence, and he fruitful in death, in spite of all the prayers and fastings of a united but inactive nation. When man has done his utmost for his own safety, then is the time to invoke the blessing of Heaven to give effect to his ex ertions.—l am, air, your obedient servant, _ " HENRY FITZROY." The reading of this letter from the Home Secretary excited a good deal of sensation among the members of Presbytery. Rev. Dr. CLARK said— It is not usual, I dare say, to make any remark on communications of this kind, but I feel called upon to say that I totally dissent from the doctrines contained in that letter, and that I can be no party to share in the responsibility of those who refuse, or at least who decline, to give an opportunity to her Majesty's subjects to meet together for prayer on the occasion of so fearful a visitation. I do not wish to make any remark on men in high places, but it is the first time, and I hope it will be the last, that any Secre tary of State has ever made any communication of this kind to any Presbytery. Rev. Dr. MUIR—I am sure we all concur in the statement made by our excellent friend. There can be only one sentiment of unmingled pity and regret enter tained by us that such a document should ever emanate from a professedly Christian Government. Rev. D. MACFARLANE—Concurring as I d o i n the views expressed in regard to this communication from the Home-office, there is required no further expression of opinion from me on that subject. I would only ven ture to propose that we should take no further steps in this matter, but that we should report this communica tion to the Synod, which meets next week, so that whatever is done may be done not as a presbytery, but by our brethren within the bounds of the pro vince. Rev. Dr. Muirt—That reference of the matter to . the Synod is only, of course, as regards the time. There . no dubiety on our minds as to the necessity for appoint ing a day of humiliation. (Hear.) Rev. Mr. SMITH thought it was desirable, as suggested by Dr. Crawford at last meeting, that in the meantime some steps should be taken to see if a day could be ap pointed for united Christian worship, and that Would be acceptable to the various denominations. He thought some communication might be made that there might be some sort of co-operation. Rev. Dr. MACFARLANE added that, as a presbytery, they, of course, could do nothing to that effect, ' Dr. Crawford had ex proprio motu made such a suggestion at last meeting, and, of course, it was open to him to make any private communication that might secure that object. Dr. BRYCE expressed his surprise and regret that any letter should be sent from such an authority to the Presbytery of Edinburgh, and contended that the Mo derator's letter called for no such response. Rev. Dr. STEVEN also said that he regarded the docu ment governor. On the question being put, wh e th er the document should be engr o s se d, Dr. CLARK moved that it should not, but that it should be kept in retentis, which was agreed to. The Moderator was instructed simply to acknowledge that the letter had been received and laid before the Presbytery. be sold for-100 sovs, allowed Sib, 80101 b, 60 141 b, 40 20 lb, 30 281 b ; about two miles ; 6 subs.

WORCESTER, THURSDAY NlGHT.—Nothing which can possibly tend to ensure success has been overlooked by the able management now superintending, on behalf of the public, the Worcester Meetings. Great facility has been afforded in the permanent enlargement of the bet ting, besides additional arrangements for the comfort and accommodation of the visitors ; matters which, coupled with the already large demand for boxes, indi cate an unusually brilliant result. Since the Summer Meeting the official staff has undergone important alteration in the appointment of Mr. Richard Johnson to the judgment seat, and of Mr. Callaway to the office of starter. The races on Tuesday will commence at twelve o'clock, and the first chase on Wednesday will be run punctually at two. It may also be mentioned that the stakes for the Grand Chase and Hurdle Race are to be paid before eleven o'clock on the morning of running instead of the previous night, as heretofore. Peter was declared not to start for the Annual Steeple Chase on Monday, and Peter Simple on Tuesday. The races commence on the first day at 12.45, and on the second day at 1.30.
