LAW INTELLIGENCE—Nov. 25. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. 'ME QI7ILEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OP THE HON. T. SCOTT) V. W. HARRISON. - CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINS7 THE " TIME." The Attorney-General moved, on behalf of the Hor t. Francis Scott and some other gentlemen, for a rule calling upon Mr. William Harrison, the printer a: nd publisher of the Times newspaper, to show cause wh; 7 a criminal information for a libel should not be ism red against him. This application arose out of an art isle which appeared in the Times reflecting, as these gentle men thought, and he must say with truth, very severely upon their characters. The applicants were the chairman and the directors of the South-Western Railway Com ,pany, and it was necessary for him to make a short statement of the facts to which the article referred. The South-Western Company were the proprietors of a line of railway running between Southampton and Dorchester. In the commencement of the year it was proposed by the Great Western Company, whose line ran through Dorsetshire from north to south, while the South-Western line ran from east to west, to make an application to Parliament for a bill to enable them to make a. line be tween Dorchester and Exeter. Lord Campbell said an objection had . been suggested by the officer of the court agai nst moving fora criminal information on the last day of term. An application for a mandamus, or a prohibition might be made, but he believed it was the rule that the learned counsel could only mention that he intended to apply for a criminal information. The Attorney-General said the rule had probably been made when there was a pressure of business. Lord Campbell said it had existed from the most re mote times, when the Queen's Bench did not sit half the time it might have done. Mr. Justice Coleridge—lt is probably on account of the length of time before cause can be shown. Lord Campbell—There is anoth er reason . This is a very solemn proceeding, and it is supposed there may be a great deal of hurry on the last day of the term, and we ought to have abund an t ti me t o cons ider before we exercise the important power that is vested in us. The Attorn e y -G enera l sa id t h e grea t object of his clients was not to press vindictively against the news paper, but to clear themselves. Mr. Justice Coleridge remembered several instances in which learned counsel had mentioned that they in tended to move. The Attorney-General would answer his purpose by doing so. Lord Campbell—We may consider whether the rul e ought to be altered, but whil e it remains in force we must abide by it. The Attorney-General might be allowed to say that his affidavits contained the most complete refutati on o f a ll th e imputations contained in the article. After what had fallen from the court, he would not now press his motion. THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OP ALLSOPP) V. JERVIS CRIMINAL INFORMATION. This was a rule nisi, which had been obtained by Sir F. Thesiger for a criminal information against the de fendant for a libellous copy of verses against Mr. All sopp, which he had written and circulated. Mr. Mellor said he appeared for the defendant in this case, and was instructed to take a course that he trusted would prove satisfactory to his learned friend and to the prosecutor himself. He had communicated to his learned friend that his client desired to make the most ample apology for, and to make the most complete re traction of; any charges or insinuations which were sup posed to be contained in the libel he had published. He had made this apology and retraction in the fullest pos sible manner, and desired to express his deep regret that he should h ave p u bli s h e d a libel containing suchinsinua tions so injurious to the prosecutor. Lord Campbell—Charges. Mr. Mellor—Both charges and insinuations. He was instructed to express the defendant's deep regret for what he had done, and he trusted his learned friend on the part of the prosecution, would be satisfied with this apology. Sir F. Thesiger said that Mr. Allsopp was willing to accept the apology and retraction —the positive denial of the charges made by Mr. Jervis ; and to allow this rule to take the course of the former one. With regard to the costs he must insist upon their payment, in order to show that this was not passed over as a light offence. Rule discharged on payment of costs by the de fendant. BAIL COURT, Sittings in Banco. Before Mr. Justice Crompton. THE QUEEN V. BERESFORD AND OTHERS-INDICTMENI FOR CONSPIRACY-THE DERBY ELECTION. Mr. Edwin James moved for a rule, calling upon the defendants in this case, to show cause why the trial of this indictment should not be postponed until the sit tings after next term, or why they should not take such short notice of trial as the prosecutor could give. This was an indictment for conspiracy, which had been re moved from the Central Criminal Court into this court. The defendants, eleven in number, had been engaged in the Derby election, and two of them, Mr. W. Beresford and Mr. John Huish, had removed the indictment into this court. They were in consequence bound to plead and give notice of trial, or they would forfeit their recognisances. Mr, Beresford pleaded on the sth of November, and Mr. Huish on the 14th of November ; both of them giving due notice of trial for the Middlesex sittings on the 21st of November, too late for the prosecution to give their notice of trial for those sittings. Five other defendants pleaded, so that if the matter was allowed to rest as at present, .only Mr. Beresford and Mr. Huish could be tried by the indictment, and, therefore, this rule had been applied for as the only proper course that could be taken. It was absolutely necessary that all the defendants should be tried together. There was another ground on which this application had been made, namely, that it was necessary to have the attendance of the officers of the House of Commons, and also the shorthand writer who attended the select committee of inquiry. A resolution of the house declared that all witnesses examined before the house or before a committee of the house were en titled to the protection of the house with regard to any thing which they had said in giving evidence, and that no officer or shorthand writer should give evidence with out first obtaining the special license of the house of any proceedings before the house or its committees. The house was not now sitting, and therefore it was impos sible to obtain this permission. It was absolutely neces sary that the officers and shorthand writer should attend the trial. Sir F. Thesiger said that he appeared on the part of Mr. Beresford, who had done everything in his power to bring this matter to a speedy issue. Mr. Beresford had no power over the other defendants, and he could not compel them to give notice. To save any further trouble he would at once consent to the postponement of the trial. Mr. Smith was retained by Mr. Huish, but he was not present. The learned judge said the rule would go for the post ponement, unless Mr. Smith did not consent. Mr. Smith having come into court soon after, said he had had no instructions to consent, but he would let his client know, and it was very likely that he would agree to take the course adopted by Sir F. Thesiger. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS. (Before Sir Richard Kindersley.) TURNER V. DANBY—THE PAINTINGS OP " T URNER :, This case was again mentioned to-day. At the clos e of the August sittings it was mentioned that a su i t had been instituted relative to Mr. Turner's pict ures' which, by his will he had bequeathed to forma gall er y to be called "Turner's Gallery." The pictures were at his house in Queen Anne-street, under the care of Mrs. Danby, a defendant, to whose care they had been re commended in Mr. Turner's will. As the paintings were in a very doubtful state of preservation from damp and injury, the matter was mentioned to this Court, in August, when Mr. Hardwicke, Sir C. Eastlake, and Mr. Clarkson Stanfield were requested to see these paintings and report upon their condition. The Vice-Chancellor now observed that he had re ceived a report from those gentlemen, after he had left town, to the effect that, although many of the pictures were damaged by long neglect, yet the damage must have arisen anterior to the death of Mr. Turner, and they recommended, of course, that the paintings should be protected against damp. They stated that on one side of Mr. Turner's house were two empty houses, and on the other a builder's shop ; and that, therefore, this was not a place of safe custody. He (the Vice-Chan cellor) had written to the gentlemen, who, owing to Mr. Stanfield's absence, had not replied until yesterday. They said considering the difficulty of finding a suitable place for the pictures, and the illness of Mrs. Danby, it would be better to leave them for the present in the house, but under the care of some respectable and responsible man. His Honour said he had himself inspected the pictures, and that he agreed with the gentlemen who had made him a report, that the damage was not of recent date, and might probably have been occasioned by some ex- Ilrirnents by Mr. Turner in varnishing ; some part of the Paintings had been quite destroyed ; some were in ° I and some were in water ; but the colours appeared ugh they had been smeared, so much so, that the de • sign e°lll d sc arcely be ter had better detected.

She told the policeman that she had taken the spirits for a young man who kept her company. Accordingly, on searching her boxes the officer found a number of " love letters" written to her by the male prisoner, and also a quantity of perfumery, some quite untouched, bearing the labels of Mrs. Po well, his mis tress. The officer therefore went to Mrs. Powell's shop in Park-road, and seeing the male prisoner, told him he should take him into custody for receiving spirits. The prisoner at once admitted that Bedell had been in the habit of bringing spirits there, but he was not at all aware that she had come improperly by them ; on the contrary, he thought she had purchased it and brought it there for her own refreshment as well as his. On searching his boxes two bundles of cigars were found in them, and these Cramer acknowledged he had received from Bedell. Tapping said he had also ascertained that the female prisoner had been most lavish in her expen diture for several months past. He had several trades men present to prove the fact, to one of whom alone she had paid upwards of 201. for dress, &c. A large stock of beautiful silk dresses was found in her boxes, some of them never worn ; and it appeared that she was under the tuition of a pianoforte teacher in the neighbourhood. There were also found a quantity of sheeting, towels, and other articles belonging to her master, Mr. Shepheard. The following letters caused much amusement : " Park-road, Oct. 16, 1853. "Dearest Emma (the Emma in the centre of a pen and ink sketch of a heart),—l am sorry I shall not have the felicity of your company to-day, and still more grieved to hear that your side is no better. I have sent you a pow der, which I hope you will have no objection to take. It would do better to put it dry on your tongue at bed time, and apply another mustard poultice, then I shall be glad to hear that you are quite cured to-morrow. If it does not get better in a day or two, I should ask for a leave of absence to recruit your health, which I believe your pre sent occupation has fully undermined. I have scarcely known how to pass away the dull and tedious hours. Reading now has no charms for me. I would rather shift muck on the line than stick here all day. Othello's occu pation's gone.'

" Dearest Albert,—l write you a few lines this morning, fearing that you might have thought me unkind for not calling upon you some time in the course of the day. This morning, as you are aware, was fully taken up with my music lesson. The afternoon proved wet, which caused me to stay in doors. I hope to see you to-morrow morning, if the weather proves fine. Send me a line that I may know how you are, for if it is the least damp to-morrow I shall not be out, in consequence of the baby being so un well. Have you not felt dull to-day, or have you enjoyed your retirement? Please send my love to Rosa Maitland, if you have not written. Excuse my fun and imperfec tions, and believe me, my dearest Albert, your ever effec tionale, " EMMA." Amongst the documents found in the female prisoner's possession was a certificate from the Committee of Coun cil on Education, dated February 28, 18M, and from it it would appear that the prisoner had served one year as mistress of the Tendering Parochial School, Essex, for which she received the munificent sum of 8/. And in this document she is described as Mrs. Bedell. In this document, which is a printed form, several erasures and emendations, in the handwriting of the prisoner, appear, and some of them are of a ludicrous character. For instance, when the qualifications are given opposite to the words " Grammar," " History," and " Geogra phy," "good" is written ; and in the margin appear, evidently in the prisoner's handwriting, "French trans lation, perfect, Natural history, good. Algebra, good. Composition, excellent. Derivation of the Angelo- Saxon words, correct. Music good. Singing, good." Owing to the absence of the potman formerly in the ser vice of Mr. Shepheard, who was in the habit of carrying messages and different articles between the parties, arid who it was thought was purposely kept out of the way, the officers requested a further remand. Mr. Ballantine hoped his client would be at least ad mitted to bail, and assured the magistrate that, from his instructions, he verily believed that Cramer had been made the ignorant dupe and victim of the other artful prisoner, His friends, he said, were of the highest respectability, and were prepared to give bail to any reasonable amount. Mr. Norton admitted that it was in Cramer's favour that there appeared a disparity of at least 10 years ; but the female prisoner said it did not exceed 5, at the most —a declaration which caused much laughter. The prisoners were ultimately remanded ; but Cramer was admitted to bail. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY'EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 185 3. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Thursday the first court in the present mayoralty was held. The new LORD MAYOR addressed the court on taking the chair, after which thanks were voted to his prede ce,;sor in office, Alderman Challis. PRESENT TO THE CHAPLAIN OF THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Deputy MEADWAY moved that—" That Mr. Cham berlain do present to the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, late chap lain to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, a purse of fifty guineas, as a testimony of the esteem and approbation of this court." The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. LODGING-HOUSES AND WASH-HOUSES FOR THE POOR Mr. DAVIS said that, seeing the chairman of the im provement committee (Mr. T. H. Hall) in his place, he wished to ask him a question which concerned the char a-ter of the corporation, and of that court in particular. He would not mention any names. Two years since the court had most munificently voted a sum amount ing to nearly 50,0001. for the purpose of erecting model lodging-houses and wash-houses for the benefit and coin the fort of the poor of City, and he found it stated in evidence of gentleman before the commission now sit ting, that not a single farthing had been laid out by the Improvement Committee for the purpose in question. (Hear.) Not a stone of any building had yet been laid, as he was informed, and as a considerable time had elapsed since the money was voted, he wished to know what the facts of the case really were. Mr. YOUNG thought it excessively inconvenient that questions of this description should be put, as they injured and prejudiced the court very much in the eyes of the public. He advised the court to wait calmly and quietly till the termination of the inquiry before the commissioners, when there would be ample opportunities for explanation. Deputy BEDFORD—I think the question a very proper one to be answered. (Loud cries of "No, no.") The LORD MAYOR—Any member of the court has a right to put a question. Whether the chairman of the committee is empowered to answer it without the con sent of that committee must remain for himself to deter mine. It is in the province of Mr. Hall either to answer it or to decline. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HALL said he had upon every occasion been ex tremely ready to answer every question connected with the duties of the Improvement Committee, and only hesitated now from the fear that if a reply were given to one question, some member would rise and try to get out something else, not only in reference to the acts of the Improvement Committee, but of every committee of the corporation, arising from observations made in an other place ; in point of fact, it would be getting out irregularly and in detail that which had better be brought forward in a proper manner hereafter. He put himself in the hands of the court, and would answer the question if they desired him to do so. (Cries of "No, no.") Deputy CORNEY moved that the court proceed to the business of the day. The motion was seconded and carried almost unanimously. Mr. DAVIS said he had always been under the im pression that a member was entitled to ask a question at any time—(cries of " No, no")—and was perfectly astonished at the manner in which it had been dealt with. (Cries of "Sit down," and great confusion.) Deputy CORNET rose to order. The Court had parti cular business to transact, and the question of Mr. Davis n it g .. (Hear, hear.) again s rose, and unsuccessfully attempted to a T I h a nr i e o n ibp a o al i r it a os r i f uxoßb—e consulting his own convenience, as shall gentle manwhether r tt h m be i re g might o I ruled just now that the k proceeded unanimously a q question, o n , tlh b a u tt t ht h eh e ree fhoarse businessno w appeal o h f e t a tho r e d the tu as well as that of the court, best by allowing the sub ject' to drop. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DAVIS—I would rather appeal to your lordship whether I am in order or out of o r d er . (C r i es of "Ques tion.") lam only desirous of knowing. (Great con fusion, and cries of " Sit down.") The LORD MAYOR—I must declare that you are quite out of order, and have no right to put more than one question. (Cheers.)

The fact was to all the world that ten years had elapsed sincepatent the work had been contracted for, and up to the p moment the bells and the clock were not connec ted, an resen d t the public had derived no benefit whatever from the enormous outlay of nearly 1,7001. for the bells and chimes. (Hear, hear.) Altogether 2,6001. had been expended ; and seeing a member of the Gresham com mittee present, he (Deputy Harrison) wished to know, first, when there was a probability of the work being completed, and secondly, whether any contract had been entered into with a gentleman of the name of Taylor again entirely to recast the bells ! Deputy HOLT replied that the expense alluded to had been incurred before he joined the Gresham Trust, and he was therefore not responsible for it. Great difficulty had been experienced in carrying the work into effect, inasmuch as the bells were made to be dependent upon the clo c k, w hi ch was formed by the celebrated Mr. ne ut t ,wbo had di e d b e f ore the complet i on of the contract, and rresponsibilit y s e b i person ityh i w who o h succeeded in hisown him person,ha d had shrunk f n r c o u m rr the ed.

Referred to the joint Gresham committee accordingly. LABOURS OF THE CORPORATION. ALDERMANCOPELAND moved for a "Return of th e num ber of courts of common council from the 9th of Novem ber, 1852, to the Bth of Norember, 1853, i nc l us i ve ; o f the number of committees of the corporation, s p ec ifyi ng the name of each, and showing the number of meetings of the number of sub-committees of each committee ; the like of the Navigation Committee and the sub-com mittees, especially notifying the days of views ; the like of the Commissioners of Sewers ; and the like of the Irish Society." He (Alderman Copeland) was only anx ious that the corporation, when the fitting time arrived, should be in a position to show to the world the onerous duties they were in the habit of performing. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said it was a great question with him whether notice of the motion ought not to be given, in order that it might appear on the paper of business. The motion was seconded and carried. Mr. ELLIOTT rose, and was met with loud shouts of laughter. He said he objected very much to the court being taken by surprise by the sudden carrying of the motion. He wanted to see such a return as that moved for laid before the court, but should like to see it more perfect, and it could only be made so by proper notice being given, when members. of the court would have an opportunity of fully considering its terms. There ap peared to him a very serious omission in the return asked for, and if the motion was now persevered with, he would move, as an amendment, that a return be also made of the number of dinners. Deputy LoTT—With the name of each party dining. Mr. ELLIOTT—The number of dinners eaten by com mittees and by sub-committees, and the number of per sons attending each dinner. He conceived a return of this nature an important document,as it might turn out that the work done was very small, and that every member was abundantly paid for his labour, by eating a dinner at the public expense. (Laughter.) The matter then dropped. Mr. HAWKINS moved "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 Lud gate-hill ; and the cost thereof." THE IRISH SOCIETY. Mr. JAMES Low moved : " That, with a view to the more effective management of the affairs of the Irish So ciety in future, it be a. standing order, That those members who have served on the Irish Society for two years shall after the lapse of one year, be re-appointed to serve a se cond two years, in order that the society may have the full benefit of the experience they have gained during the first two years." Mr. Low said he was anxious that the motion should be carried, as it was impossible for gentlemen in two years to make themselves fully acquainted with the duties of the society, not only on account of the peculiar nature of the property, but of the peculiar tenures under which it was held. He was now nearly closing his second year. (Laughter.) He thought sneers very un becoming a deliberative body, as he inferred from them that the idea was entertained that his object in bringing forward the motion was that he might continue a mem ber of the Irish Society Committee—an idea which he altogether repudiated. The motion fell to the ground for want of a seconder. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. ( From the Times. ) We have at last, from Mr. Bennoch's evidence, ob tained something like an insight into the revenue, and, in a more limited degree, into the expenditure of the London Corporation. It appears that we are dealing with a revenue estimated at 400,0001., without taking all items into account. There is the income derived from rents and quit-rents, 86,3111. ; from renewal of fines, 12,800/. ; from markets, 20,5981. ; from tolls and dues, 6,9411. ; from offices—that is, from coal dues and meta,ge---73,169/. ; from bequests, 1321. ; from brokers' rents, 7,6561. ; from freedoms, 8,8401. ; from interest, 1,3921. ; from sheriffs' fines, 1,2001. ; from casual re venue, 6,459/. ; from navigation, 8,3771. ; from the con solidated sewers-rate, 66,8611. ; from the general sewers rate, 19,426/. ; from the Bridge-house Estates, 47,0211.; from the police-rate, 30,0001. (we have seen it at 40,0001.) ; and from the Irish Society—no returns. The gross amount of these charges is about 400,0001., although there is little doubt that the credit would be a still heavier one if all were known. From the evidence of the witnesses it would appear that the estates of the city are generally well managed, and that the corpora tion are good landlords. Some praise also is bestowed upon the management of the sewers, and the city police is said to be an efficient body, although a far more costly one than the general police of the metropolis. The conduct of the corporation, however, as landlords, is one thing, and their right to be landlords quite another. If they are tortious owners of Thames-street and the adjacent property on the northern bank of the Thames, it is but very modified praise indeed to say that they manage the property excellently well for their own private benefit. It is obvious that the above items of income must be considerably reduced if justice is to be done between the corporation and the public. Most of the tolls and dues would be entirely removed, and the future corporation would only be entitled to exact pay ment for services actually required and performed at the usual market rate of labour. Unless, too, the corpora tion should succeed in rebutting the very violent pre •sumption that has been raised against their right to pro perty over which they were appointed conservators or trustees for the public good, it may also eventually appear that their receipts may be very unpleasantly decked under another head. All such matters, however, must stand for future consideration. When we are better informed upon the facts of the case, it will be easy enough to apply the law to them ; but, in the meantime, it is a simpler course to turn to the head of " expendi ture," and to investigate, as far as may be, the manner in which the corporation disposes of so considerable a revenue. We have spoken of the income of the City as 400,000/. ; it appears that, in the gross, the amount of this money paid away in salaries reaches the very considerable sum of 107,0001., or morethan 25 per cent. of the whole income. The legal salaries are set at 14,7001., of which the Re corder receives 3,0001., the Common-Serjeant 1,5001., and the judge of ihe Sheriffs' Court 1,2001. Of these salaries there is no complaint, as the offices are efficiently filled. But then the Town-clerk receives 1,8921., the Secondary 1,249/„ and the Remembrancer 1,7651. We speak under correction, but we believe the duty of the last-named officer is to attend occasionally in the House of Commons, and to take notice of any clauses injurious to the interests of the city which may be introduced into acts of Parliament, or, vice versa, to slip in dexterously certain clauses of an opposite tendency—for example, the coal .iue clause. Passing from these more important offices, we find that the chief clerks at the Mansion house and Guildhall receive between them 1,250/. a-year, which is not excessive, if true, as they are the bona fide magistrates of those courts. The Mace bearer receives 5501., and the Swordbearer 5501. ; the Upper Marshal, 4501. or 500/. ; the Under Marshal, 2001. or 3001. These Bumbles draw besides 701. for uniforms, 141. for boots, and 201. for cocked hats ! We cannot afford space he.te to reprint more of Mr. Bennoch's figures, but we would entreat of our readers carefully to con over the report of his evi dence for themselves ; for his figures make up a better case against the Corporation of London than any hitherto published :—" The whole expense of establish ments in the Corporation of L.mdon is much greater than the whole expense of the Federal Government of the United States, or, which is perhaps a more start ling statement, its expenditure upon itself, in administer ing the funds of the Corporation, is larger than the whole amount of revenue from rents, tolls, and fees from brokers which it receives." Mr. Bennoch well contrasted the reveuue and expenditure of the Corporation of Lon don with that of Manchester. It appears that the gross expenditure of the Manchester Corporation amounts to 485,2821. a-year, while the whole expense of administer. ing that sum, inclusive of salaries, is but 8,8491. Let the advocates of city abuses ponder well upon that sim ple fact, and consider with themselves how they will he able to justify a ninefold rate of expenditure in salaries, &c., in the case of the Corporation of London. But the whole thing is too bad. Let us pass from the Lord Mayor and his Gog and Magog tomfooleries. The London Corporation is equal to itself in its smallest as in its more important developments. The curator of the monument is, it appears, either a Common Councilman or the brother of a Common Councilman. For a period of years he received for this nominal duty 2401. or 2501. annually. His whole duty was confined to keeping a couple of subalterns, one of whom remained at the bottom to admit visitors, while the other stationed himself at the top to see that nobody threw himself off. Might it not be advisable to relieve this last functionary from his duties, and to suggest to the Corporation the propriety of examining their domains in person from so elevated a situation ? One does not know what might happen. Be this however, as it may, it appears that during the Exhibition year the Keeper of the Monu ment, the Do-nothing, received and pocketed in fees no less a sum than 1,3371., not one penny of which went to the maintenance or decoration of the building, or to any other public purpose. We must entreat pardon for skipping about discursively from the Monument to Guildhall, but the subject will bear no other treatment. We are dealing with a number of scattered items, only connected with each other by com mon ridicule or common injustice. The unfortunate sheriffs, it seems, are hardly enough used. They are fined if they will not serve, and if they do serve, they are also fined about 5001. or 6001. in the shape of a subscription to that most uncomfortable of all festivi ties the Lord Mayor's dinner. The way the city endeavours to justify the imposition of the fines for not servingi is pleasant enough. The fines, when extorted are devoted to a good object, and therefore are just. So with regard to the coal dues. The city re tains one-third of the proceeds for its own use, and hands over the remaining two-thirds to the Government, for the purpose of general metropolitan improvements. The Corporation, in short, put the Government in the position of receivers of stolen goods, in order that they themselves may be permitted to prosecute their own dubious operations with impunity. But an end of all this is at hand. The case against the city has been but opened, but quite enough has been shown to prove that the London Corporation is an institution quite unfitted to the age in which we live. There must be an end of these sinecurists, of this nepotism, of this prodigal expenditure. In the year 1849 we are told our Precious aldermen went in state to Oxford for guzzling purposes, and charged their expenses on the city funds. At another time they must needs take it into their heads that one of their number has made himself immortal by his great deeds. and straightway the city must pay for the full-length portrait t t e he th i e llu F s r t e ri n o n u h s E m m a p n e ; re o r r , t andmust charge g et the u c p o s t upon the public funds. There must, we say, be an end of all this. Most of the officers of the Corporation are annually appointed, so that there need be no question of compensation. By a few simple mea sures of reform the government of the city might be purified of all its abuses, and remain an instrument of unmitigated good under the control of the general body of the citizens. (From the Aforning Advertiser.) Mr. Bennoch has very properly said in his evidence before the City Corporation Commission, that the tax on coal is a bad tax, that it injures the poor and retards trade. There is now smile good reason to hope that one of the earliest practical results of the commission will be to relieve the public from this odious and most impolitic impost, and we trust that no kind of legitimate influence which can bear on this tax will be wanting. The total amount of the tax on coal is thirteenpence ton. Of this sum, one penny is paid f or co ll ec ti on, an d fourpence go to the City. The remainder is paid to Go vernment for the purpose of effecting improvements i n beent h themetropolis under th eg impressionenerall3-. W t e h believeatthe man whole to the City, and some have harboured the uncharitable notion that a goodly portion is constantly assisting to give to our aldermen that goodly gastric angle by which they are distinguished. The evidence brought before the commission on the tenth day, puts the facts of the case in a proper light ; but we believe the public, on being fully informed as to the manner in which these funds are disposed of, will be by no means satisfied that they should continue to have this essential article of domestic con sumption subjected as it is to taxation for purposes which, whatever may be their value, ought to be provided for in some other way, or left unaccomplished. It is a great injustice to the consumers of coals in London and the surrounhing district, to compel them to pay, as they have now to pay, whether for City im provements or for any of those metropolitan improve ments to which the taa is dedicated. New Oxford street. the approaches to Leicester-square, the ap proaches to London Bridge, and the intended new street from the Town-hall in the Borough, are all good things in their way ; but there is no more reason why coals should be taxed for these objects than for the purpose of gaining any of the ends which might enter into the heads of any body of men who think that this and that great undertaking would minister to the public good, if only they could hit on some effectual way of getting at the public purse. The fact is, that there is a downright wantonness of taxation in reference to this impost. Money is col lected that is not wanted, and hoarded up if it cannot be expended. The sum of 90,0001. are now lying to the account of the Southwark Commissioners for the construction of the street which at present exists only sn posse, and which is to run from Southwark-bridge to the Town -hall in the Borough ; and if it were really de sired it would have been easy to have saved the public from the injustice of which they have had to complain. While thi s money, a large portion of which is lying idle, is th us aceumulating, cases of real oppression are constantly occurring, of w hi c h th ere i s the greatest rea son to complain. Mr. Bennoch mentioned the case of one sugar refiner, who pays as much as 2,000/. per an num coal tax, and another who pays as much as 2,5001, a year. The latter la rge sum i s pa i d by a gentleman who provides gas for the citizens, and in connection with this fact Mr. Bennoch mentions, that if it were not for the tax on coals, the public lights might be furnished for nothing. The approaches to London-bridge also, for which the tax was originally granted, have long since been paid for ; and it would gratify a very laudable curiosity if the public knew exactly how the money, no longer wanted for this object is now appropriated. A deputation from the parish of Marylebone has very properly made this City tax the subject of remonstrance and complaint. In Marylebone there are about 170,000 persons on whom the impost falls, and if it be said. in reply to their remonstrances, that they have no reason to complain, inasmuch as 40,0001. were paid out of the fund for the formation or New Oxford-street, the depu tation from that parish rejoins that they would rather have a parochial rate than submit to the coal tax for street improvements. There is nothing to jusrify this shameful tax on the fuel consumed by all classes, and there is no tax against which it more becomes the people of all classes to utter their most vehement protest. We hope that the example set by Marylebone will be followed by every metropolitan parish, and that the Commis. sioners, when they have to make their report, will have to deal with such an amount of public opinion on this subject, as will necessitate some arrangement by which the tax will be speedily removed. If the inhabitants of the metropolis have reason to complain of the impost to which they are subjected, much greater justice is there in the remonstrance made by the inhabitants of the large circle around the metro polis, and which has a circumference of forty miles. The people around London for twenty miles in every direction have no interest in the various works to which the coal tax is apppropriated, and yet they are put to great inconvenience by the present oppressive arrangement. Persons living within a few miles of the circle on which these duties fall are put to great inconvenience in being obliged to send a distance, in order to avoid the duty. Vessels are in the habit of going beyond Gravesend to save the dues, and take in coals there, instead of in London, to the injury of the metropolis. The pressure of this tax on trade, in various ways, is extremely severe in the country towns around London ; and we should hope that the various parties who, a year or two since, met for the purpose of expressing their grievances, would take the opportunity which is now afforded them of letting those grievances be known to the commission now sitting. Reading furnishes a fair instance of the advantages which would be secured, both to traders and consumers, by the repeal of the tax. At that town the coal trade is flourishing more than at other places, because it is just beyond the boundary of the twenty mile range. If the tax were removed, we should find as the result that a most oppressive load would be taken off, not only the coal trade, but from various branches of manufacture dependent on the supply of coal. We protest against the coal tax on principle. It is as wrong to interfere with fuel as with food. In our country, coal is nearly, if not altogether, as essential as corn ; and all interference with it ought to be aban doned. If it is wrong in principle, it is found also to be highly inexpedient and injurious in practice, and in every way entitled to reprobation. It cannot be too widely known, therefore, that an opportunity is now afforded the public to speak out o❑ this most important subject, where they will be heard, and to persons whosa duty it is to record and report their evidence. If this opportunity is embraced, the coal tax will soon be doomed ; but if neglected, no one can say how long it will be maintained ; and those who suffer from it in future, will have to blame themselves for allowing the favourable opportunity to pass by un improved. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDA Y. WANT OF ADDITIONAL BRIDGE ACCOMMODATION. Deputy PEWTRESS moved— " That a reference having been made to the Bridge House Estates Committee re specting Southwark-bridge, they be instructed further to consider and report on the plans and estimates for the erection of a new bridge between Southwark and Black friars bridges, and the approaches thereto, in order that the court may be enabled to form a comparative esti mate between the erection of the new bridge and the sum necessary for the purchase of Southwark-bridge," Deputy Pewtress said he was sure he need not impress upon the minds of the members of the court the absolute necessity of providing means for the increased and in creasing traffic over the Thames, the want of which was universally acknowledged ; and in the event of his motion being carried, much valuable information would be procured from engineers and architects fully compe tent to form an opinion upon a subject which had so frequently and so justly occupied the attention of the court_ (Hear, hear.) The motion was seconded by Mr. KEBBEL. Deputy HARRISON was at all times as anxious as pos sible to save the public money, and as two references upon the subject under consideration were already before the committee, he felt it his duty to oppose the motion, and to move that the court proceed to the business of the day. Deputy BENNOCH considered the question to be one of the greatest importance that could be considered by the court for the benefit of the citizens. The inquiry, if pro perly conducted, need not cost a very large sum of money, while it would greatly strengthen the hand of the com mittee, and very much aid them in ascertaining the value of such structures, which could not be arrived at without proper and accurate reports of engineers capable of giving an opinion. If such a sum were given for Southwark bridge as had been proposed on a former occasion, it would be a grossly extravagant piece of expenditure. (" No, no," from Mr. H. L. Taylor.) The whole of the oppo sition to the present inquiry had been of the discreditable nature so frequently exhibited by members who denied that any projected improvement could be effected of any description unless they themselves were the origina tors of it. Unless Mr. H. L. Taylor, or Mr. F. H. Hall, or Deputy Harrison, were at the head of a great hil -1 provement. _ _ _ The LORD MAYOR rose, and put it to the good sense of Deputy Bennoch whether he thought any good would arise from imputing personal motives. (Hear.) He thought that debates should be conducted upon public matters, as far as possible, without reference to individual members. (Hear, hear.) Deputy BENNOCH was very much obliged for the gen tle hint, and the kind terms in which it was conveyed ; but when he saw a gentleman shaking his scanty lock of hair, and saying, "I will take care you don't do that." (Uproar, and loud cries of " order.") Mr. BUCKNALL—A personal reference is very ungen tlemanly, and cannot be answered anywhere but out of doors. Deputy BENNOCH said he did not wish to be so per sonal ; but when he found a gentleman shaking his head and stating explicitly that the motion never should be carried, he (Deputy Benno* came to the conclusion that that member had made up his mind, in conjunction with a number of gentlemen who were always ready and willing to vote with him, that any proposition coming from an independent member of the court should not be received. Deputy Lorr—That is untrue. (Confusion, and cries of " shame.") _ _ _ Deputy BENNOCH-I know it is impossible that any thing I say will be received with ordinary patience at present. Mr. J. Woon—l rise to order. My friend says it is impossible that anything he states will be attended to. When any gentleman in this assembly addresses himself orderly he will be heard with patience, whoever he may be. It is painful to witness a scene like this. (Hear.) The LORD MAYOR—I think Deputy Bennoch has really no ground for his statement ; and I am sure, judg ing from the temper and the disposition of the court this day, that they will patiently hear him or any other gen tleman. I shall claim for every member a right to be heard ; and I mistake the court if I do not find a ready response to that declaration. (Cheers.) Mr. Under-sheriff ANDERTON thought Deputy Ben noch had as much ground for the statement he had just made as he had for those that he had made in another place. Deputy BENNOCH said he had made no statement that he was not prepared to prove if an opportunity were afforded him. He then gave a statement of his reasons for not thinking it desirable that Southwark Bridge should be purchased by the corporation, chiefly bedause of the small amount of additional accommoda tion it would afford. M. H. L. TAYLOR having very humorously, and amidst general cheering, replied to the speech of Deputy Bennoch, said he should oppose the motion. Alderman WIRE, after expressing the great pain with which he had listened to a debate of so personal a cha racter, said he should vote for the motion. Deputy PEWTRESS replied, and the amendment was put and negatived. REMOVAL OF TEMPLE BAR. Two petitions were presented by Mr. Anderton and Mr. E. Hodgson against the removal of Temple Bar, and referied to the City Lands Committee to examine and report upon. Mr. DAKIN presented a petition of the London, West minster, and Vauxhall Steam Packet Company, and of the City Steam Packet Company, for increased facilities for the landing of passengers at the Surrey side of Lon don-bridge. It was referred to the Bridge House Es tates Committee to examine and report upon. The court then adjourned. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 25.
