" Tug St'n's" MAP or CIINIA.—The spirited and enter. prising proprictots of The Sun newspaper published in their last Saturday's paper, an excellent Map of China, together with a very accurate and ably written account of that most in teresting country. At the present time, when all eyes are directed to the proceedings of the British forces in China, every in formation of this kind wiil be sought after with avidity. The Sun Map cannot fail to prove of great assistance to those who are now watching the progress of events in that far-off region. We trust that the enter prise of the proprietors will meet with its due reward. One of the striking features remarked upon by The Sun is the vast population of China. " Each province," says our Contemporary, " contains more inhabitants than an European kingdom of the average size, and a couple of them are more populous than the two powerful king doms that sway the destiny of the world, France and England. Pe tche-li, the metropolitan province for instance, contains 27,990,871 inhabitants, while the United Kingdom has only 25,000,000, and Kiang-tsulmaintains within its comparatively small boundariesmore people than the whole of France. On looking at this province on the map, one is astonished how the people find room to move past each other ; yet with these many millions, a handful of men from a small island, some fifteen thousand miles distant, are about to con tend, or are now engaged in combat."—Leeds Times. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Globe.) The French Radical papers (for example the National) are making use of the deft it announced by the Finance Minister as an argument against the present electoral sy tern, and mixed institutions. We admire the ingenuity of this di-. tort ioa. The system purs tit d these ten years, say these sages, has landed us in a defcit of 800 millions, on the heels of those of former years. •‘ For these ten years," says the Natiowd, " the deficit is the normal state of our finances. Notwith standing the unparalleled increase of the receipts, ex} enses of all kinds have beei so augmented, that, in order to cover them, it has been necesaary to have r coutoe simultaneously to loans, and sales of na tional property. Do you know what has teen the amount of deficits during these ten years? From 1830 :o 1840 they have risen to above 800,000,000. For 1840, 41, and 42, we are promised (approxirreAtively ) an insufficiency of 839,000 000. Thrjuste milieu will therefore I.ave cost us in less than 12 rears a deficit of at least 1.6'19.000,000 1" Thu juste nvliett ! What department, Fritlice, of tee juste milieu policy is fairly chargeable with these enor rnaus financial extravagancies? Is it tie juste milieu that has insisted on the cot q :est of Af, ica ? 13 it the juste v.iiieu that has kept Germany in a state of incessant alarm, by continually recurring incitements to march on her Rto nii-11 provinces? Is it the juste milieu, finally 1 :hat has roared for armies exceeding Napal.•on's, that the . farce of M. 'fliers . policy might acquire the dignity of a tragedy ? No : the juste millieu, in all these instances, has been freed, by tile Radical pressure, to yield, in some el,,c,Tree, to a policy which all moderate peliticians have dTrtmated. The original source of financial embar rassment dates firm the Nspolconi:e era, and the succes sive additions are owing to the restless spirit which survives that m a, and which leoka primarily to execs roil acquisith ns for national greatness. Now this has I , E' f, n the spirit of t! e Radicals, not of the juste n ilieu The same party who cry out for electoral reform and democracy, have always upheld must vehemently the expensive possession of Algiers, the projects of Rhenish re-cor quest, of defiance and warfare against Europe. These have been the main scurces of financial burthens, and financial deficiency—the acurces of that rn mstrous addition to those burdens, and that defi ciency, which has just been made by the Ministry which leaned on the Radical party for support. (From the Standard.) The r•ekrented tenant in a country like Ireland cannot he independent. The landlord may coerce him, through the ageecy of temporal power, or the landlord may leave him to loinaelf, when the priest will coerce him by eget:- cies both spiritual and temporal. Landlord and prito.t may struggle for him, and as it were tear him to pi• ces between them—hut who will call the itate of the unhappy creature a state of independence ? If the landlord do , s his duty, then he will not let his land to the highest bidder; he will Ist it to the man who offers a fair tent, but such a rcr.t as affords a reasonable prospect cf in el•pendcece to the person paying it ; every farthing demand: d or received beyond such a rent is the price of a public trust betrayed—it is the bribe for which the receiver commits a great detriment to the commonwealth, and the greater the amount of excess the greater the crime, because the more abject must be the dependence imposed upon the elector class. But the Irish landlord has not ful filled all his duty when he has selected a tenantry, resolved to secure their independence of his (the landlord's) power, by engaging to pay no more than a fair rent He is next to insure that his tenants shall be in all respects worthy of the elective franchise, by being as inde pendent of all other persons as they are of himself. How an Irish landlord is to effect this, except by preferring a Protestant tenantry whose independence of all beside himself, be may assume, or Roman Catholics, who hare given proof that they are independent, the Morning Chronicle will find it difficult to show. But the landlord's duty goes a step beyond choosing an absolutely independent tenantry. If, as Lord Fitz . william has said, influence is a good thing, the land lerd is to look for a tenantry, whom, without daring to coerce, he may hope to influence. But how can a landlord hope to influence a class of persons, of whom it has been boasts 1 that they would " return two cow boys" at their priest's command, in scorn of the wishes of any landlord, and who have, indeed in practice, neatly realizcd the boast ? (From the Courier.) It is a fact, which patrons ought to recollect, that at this moment they have the majority of those who are legally the ministers of the Church of Scotland, standing by them in the exercise of their patronate rights, without their sa crifice to the prejudices of the people, and entertaining the opinion, that in their thus discharging the trust com mitted to their hands, they will best promote the peace and piety of the country, and the best interests of the Church. There have, no doubt, been introduced into the Church Courts men who arc stvampin; their le gally constituted members ; and these are, almost to a man, marshalled against patronage : but fortunately the status of these intruders is soon to become a matter for decision in the Civil Courts; and no one acquainted with the law of Scotland entertains a doubt of the result. We would have the patrons, however, to bear in mind, that even should a decision be given, that these guo-ad :-acra Ministers have been legally vested with rights in civil matters which they now exercise, the victory is still in their own hands. While a tottering Administration like the present is tolerated by the country, their triumph may be the mote remote ; but an honest Conservative Government once in office, and their triumph will not be postponed beyond the twelvemonth. We are glad, in the meantime, to observe so many symptoms of the patrons having come to their senses ; and the clamour which is now raising against them by "the wild men " of the Kirk, is proof that they are striking into the true line of defence, so far as their own rights are bound up in the question—tale true Conservative policy, so far as the best interests of the best of all of our national institutions in the north are concerned. We would, on high public grounds, entreat of such patriotic Noblemen as the Dukes of Buccleuch anti Argyll, and other patrons of rank and influence, to bear in mind how much it is within their own power, by a proper dispensation of their Church patronage, to stern the torrent of lawless con tempt of all constituted civil author ity, which has broken out in Scotland, under the auspices of men who ought to have been the last to raise so dangerous a storm. Nor is it. the truly noble fabric of the Church of Scotland alone that they are called upon to preserve. We have laboured hard to convince them that if the doe trines that arc now promulgated by such men as Dr. Chat mars and Mr. Candlish are sanctioned by the country, the days of the Church of England are also numbered, And it is with no little satisfaction we observe from the pages of Blackwood's Magazine, that our views are enter tained in quarters where their advocacy may be expected to produce the most beneficial fruits.

RUM, 11na:suv, and IlonLANvs.—Prices have yet a downwrrd tendency for Rum, and both shippers and the borne trade buy with extreme caution; of Leewards the sales have amounted to only to 100 puns at a reduction of id per gallon, for proofs 2s 103 accepted, 2 to 7 per cent over 2s 101 d to 3s.

TEA—Although the accounts received China are of a highly impertaut character, still they have had on off et on the in ices of Free Trade Tea, and the transactions have been only to a limited extent for actual consumption. Spe culators have refrained from operating, being appre• pensive that the taking the capital of CilUSall (Tinghae) and other proceedings of the English forces, will speedily bring about a settlement of the misunder. s with the Chinese. At the public sales on Tuesday the biddings were languid, and im porters a ith difficulty obtained an advance of id to Id on last Friday's sales for Congou ; other kinds went at former prices. 0 9500 packages cff!red only 4000 were disposed of at the following rates—Congou, good mid coarse but fresh 24 31d to 2; 3: 4 1 3, but mid burnt blackish leaf, rather fresh, 2s 41d, but mid rather strong rata , r blackish leaf, and full fl'ivour, 2; .ael to 2a 41d, but mid strong Pekoe Souchong flavour, 2s 41d a 2s sd, very fine, 24 9d ; Hyson Skin, but mid coarse 24 Id, good and full burnt, 2s 5d to 2s sd; Imperial but middling, 3s to 3s 31 ; Twankay, middling strong, burnt, 2,6 id to 2s 61d,mid rather strong large mixed bloom kind. 23 3d; Hyson, fine 5s 7d a 63, but mid coarse and woody 2s 8d a 23 84, Hung Alucy, very little scented 23 44 to 2s ; Pouchong, good ord faint old and odd 2s 2d to 2s 2+4, musty curled and twisted Ank 2s 4: id to 2s 62d; Young Hyson, but mid strong 33 2d ; Gunpowder good 33 19d to 4s Id ; Orange Pekoe 3i 63 per lb. Since the sales the demand has been very limited by private treaty, and rather lower rates have teen submitted to. In the speculative market there was a good deal of busi_ ncss transacted on Tuesday, and of Company's Congou on that day nearly 3,000 chests were sold for cash at 2s 31d, and in some cases at 2s 3; 7 1d, but at the close of the day there were sellers at 2a 3:1; since then the market has been very dull, and prices have fallen to 2s lid a 2s ltd per lb, and even thereat there aro few buyers. To-day the market for Free Trade Tea was in a dull state, and lower rates were accepted for the small parcels disposed of, common Congou and Twankay for cash selling t 2s lid to 2s 2d per lb. Company's Congou dull of sale all the day, and the closing price on 'Change was 2s Ild per lb cash.

EXTRAORDINARY IN VESTIGATION.—YeSterdiIy Ce cilia Proudfbot, an Irish woman, aged 47 years, the wife of Patrick Proudfoot, the owner of a potatoe and coal shop, No. 20, Tash•street, Gray's Inn-lane, was placed at the bar, before Mr. GREENWOOD, charged with having beaten her husband in so shocking a manner as to cause his death. The case excited cansi- &rabic interest, and the Court was crowded to excess during the investigation. Polic.:3 Constable Chadwick, No. 15, G., being sworn, stated that on Wednesday morning last, between one and two o'clock, he was on duty, when he received in formation that there was a disturbance at No. 20,.Tash- street, Gray's Inn•lane, and that the prisoner had beaten her husband in a shocking manner. Witness proceeded thither immediately in company of Carroll, another officer, and knocked at the door, which was opened by the prisoner's husband, who was bleeding pro fusely, and seemA to have received most severe injury, vvEch he said had been inflicted by his wife, who had bitten and torn him, but he would not give her into custody. Witness advised him to go to the hospital, which he consented to do, and witness supported him to St. Bartholo►uew's Hos pital. On his road thither witness asked him brim the accident occurred, and he replied that his wife had ' bitten hi►n, and that he did not strike her until she had kitten and torn him. On his arrival at the hospital the surgeon examined him, and found that his person was hor►ibly lacerated and torn, and his wounds were dressed, when he was put to bed. Yesterday morning witness mule inquiries after the deceased, when he was informed that he was dead ; on which he proceeded to the hospital, with Sergeant Miles, of G Division, and procured the followiDg certificate from the house sur geon ; viz. " This is to certify that Patrick Peoudfont died in the hospital from the effects of an injury which he re eeivrd. in the scrotum. (Signed) "JOHN BosTocE, House Surgeon." Mr. GREENWOOD.—Did the deceased say anything else to you ? Witness.—He said, I have been her husband '27 years, and she has done for me at last. lie said this whilst the surgeon was dressing the wound. He was a quarter of an hour dressing the wound. The deceased bled profusely on h,s way to the hospital. The surgeon asked the deceased several times whi:st he was attending upon him, whether it gave hini pain. The deceased replied, It does, but it is of no use for me to complain. His shoes acre lull of blood, and his trowsers were saturated with blood. Witnes, proceed• d to Tash-street in company of Sergeant Mibs, and .on. the prisoner into custody, when she said, that the) (the deceased and herseil) got drunk together, and th;.‘ dc ceased fell over the bedstead and injured himself. The plisener had had eleven children by the deceased, six of whom were dive. S trgectut Miles.corroborated this evidence. IVhilst the witnesses were giving di< ir evidence, the prisoner was quite perturbed, and ciesping her haw's, exclaimed, '° On, for God's sake let me speak fur the sake of ins children." COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC 10. LONGBOTTOM V. ROGERS. Mr. BUTT stated the case for the plaintiff. It was well known, perhaps, to the jury, that in August, 1889, a vacancy occurred in the representation of the borough of Southwark, through the resignation of Mr. D. W. Harvey, and great efforts were wade by the two parties, the Liberals and Conservatives, each straining every neeve to secure the return of a Member favourable to its peculiar views. On that occas i on 1‘1:-. Waiter, eho had been previously Member for Berkshire, offered him self to the constituency as the candidate upon Conser vative principles. Mr. Rogers, the defendant, a solici tor, whose respectability he (Mr. Butt) was not in structed to impeach, was employed as the principal agent of Mr. Walter, for the purposes of his election. In the execution of this duty the defendant found it necessary to employ subordinate :Tents to attend to the interests of Mr. Walter in the several districts of the Borough. A person of great respectability and influence, named Johnson, who bad frequently before been employed ie electioneering neuters, betti in die borough of Southwark and in the City of London, was chosen by Mr. Rogers, to canvass for Mr. Walter, and to con euct for that gentleman all business appertaining to the election, in the parishes of Bermondsey and Ro iberhithe, which acre known by the eppellivion of the •• Along-shore district." Johnson thought that he could not better promote the interests of Mr. Wa!tvr than by securing the assistance of the pleintiff, who was not only a warm partisan of the Conservatives, but the son of an eminent ship-builder, and personally well known to, and a favourite with the electors residing in that district. Before Johnson engaged the plaintiff, he took precautions not to , fix himself with any responsi biiity for the plaintiff's remuneration, and accordingly introduced him to Mr. Rogers as the person whom he ished to employ, and, with the defendant's. consent, he was employed from the 10th of September, 1839, to the day of the election, in January, 1840. The plain tiff claimed a very moderate remuneration, only 20/. for his four months' services, and 101. for money out of pocket. The Learned Gentleman then celled George Baker Johnson, who stated that, in August 1839, he called on Mr. Rogers at his offices in Devon shire-square, B:shopsgate, by that gentleman's desire. The eletendant then told him that he would put 201. or 301. in his way if he would consent to become Mr. Walter's agent for canvassing the " Along shore" dis trict of the Borough. The witness said it would be necessary, in the first place, to make the Prince Wil liam Henry public-house in that distr:ct an open house in Mr. Walter's interest, and next to employ some per son to assist witness, and to write letters to the electors, as he was a poor hand at writing. Witness accordingly opened the public-house, and sent the plaintiff to Mr. Rogers as the assistant whom he wished to employ. 'file plaintiff asked witness to settle the amount of re muneration he was to receive, but th:s witness refused, saving that he must settle with Mr. Rogers, and look to him alone. When te saw Rogers again, that gen tleman said, " You have sent me an odd sort of fellow ; I think he was tipsy." Witness replied that the plain tiff was not a drunkard ; he was a man who had seen better days—(A laugh)—he was afflicted with paralysis, but was a very clever fellow, and an out and-out friend to the cause ; in fact, if he had any fault, it was that lie was too fond of the ladies, and it was his misfortune to lie a great favourite with them.—(Laughter.) To this Mr. Rogers replied, " Well, then, let him canvass the lgs asked,e Laughter.) Witness then him, or shall I Mr. It answered " I will." The plaintiff was from that. time, on ro r I "Willg ia younk 1 a paydi es " until after the election constantly employed, and was very industrious and very successful in his canvass. if all the others had done their duty as well, Mr. Walter would have been returned. Witness always considered Rogers personally responsible, as far as he and the ex penses which he incurred were concerning. Cross-examined by Mr. Watson—Mr. Rogers gave me at one time 51., and at another 31. 175., to pay for expenses at the public-house ; but I told him I would pay nothing, he must pay every body, and me too. I put the money in my pocket, and placed it to my own ac count.—(Great laughter.) I told him I would make myte. l l safe as far as I could, and look to him for the rest.—(Laughter.) Mr. Longbottom is a very clever man. He is a capital man to canvass. I sent him round to the parlours of the public-houses, to see whet way the wind blew. He is a Tory to the heart's blood.

KNIGHT V. EVANS. Mr. CHADWICK JONES stated the case for the plain:- tiff. It was an action brought for the recovery of the turn of W. 10s. The plaintiff carried on 1;11,i -ness as a printer in tho Cornwall-road, Lambeth, and the defendant was Samuel Evans, better known as " Dutch Sam," the pugilist. In the year 1837 the latter took a benefit at the Victoria Theatre, and on that ocersion employed the plaintiff to announce the different performances and inducements to those relishing such matter s in the usual form of many co leurod bills stuck up i n the various thoroughfares. Owing to circumstances which must be fresh in the memory of many, in which the defendant figured for the amusement of certain patrons, he was obliged to leave the country for twelve months, and on his re turn he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, thereby precluding the plaintiff from seeking the amount of his debt during that tune. For the defence certain receipts alleged to have been signed by Mr. Knight, were put in and witnesses called, one of whom proved that he saw him on one occaiinn sign a receipt in full upon receiviug 41. lOs. and al bottle of wine. Mr. CHADWICK JONES, after calling a number of witnesses, who proved that the s'gnatures attached to the receipt were not in tfie handwriting of the plaintiff, observed, in addressing the Jury, that on examining the receipts they would fled that the signatures to them, bore all the appearanc e of basing been attached ' by t r acing_ or by s onic c h em i ca l mean s. So opposite were the facts sworn to by the witnesses on both sides, that the verdict of the Jury must impugn either party as gross and shamefaced perjurers. The LEARNED SERGEANT having summed up, a ver dict was returned for the plaintiff in the full amount claimed. Mr. C. JONES applied to the Court to have the docu ments impounded, as ulterior measures be j-,er sutd tviCrt regard to thew, Mi. 3crgeal.t. ARAIHN 6;::d it SVO':id got b! s. i 1 if he were to impound them, as they might come before him in another Court, and under move serious circumstances I Mr. Pollack, surgeon, of Hatton-garden, stated that he was called upon to attend the deceased, between one and two o'clock on Tuesday morning, when he found him severely injured and bleeding, and be advised him to go to bed, and have a solution which was made up for him, but it was never sent for. Mr. GREENWOOD addressing the prisoner, said that it was a heavy and serious charge against her. She was not bound to say anything, but she might exercise her own discretion ;if she wished to say anything, it would be taken down in writing, and used for or against her at her trial. Prisoner—l will tell you the truth. The fact of it is, that a robbery was committed. My husband had been drinking all the week, and he brought home a woman to have tea with him. He desired me to go and pawn a silk handkerchief for 2s. 6d., and said he would give part of it to treat the woman. She (pri sneer) knew that she had 2/. Is. in her box, and he thought she would not do it. Her husband left, and went into Davies's, the Hole in the Wall, and got 61 worth of gin on the strength of the money that she was about to give him. She took part of it, and went out, leaving him and the deceased sitting together with her (prisoner's) daughter, fifteen years of age. The deceased was not aware that she had so much money. The prisoner sent the girl out for some gin. It was then about seven o'clock in the evening. The deceased pressed her to send for some more gin, when some words ensued, and, on feeling in her pockets, she missed her keys ; and, on searching her box, she discovered ' that her money was gone, and she charged the woman with having robbed her. The deceased asked her " how she dared to charge an acquaintance of his with rob bery," and 1/. 16s. were found upon her, but she would not give her into custody, and she followed her and her husband to the Hole-in-the-Wall, where he spent 3s. Mr. GREENWOOD—You are charged with biting your \ husband, and causing his death ; confine yourself to that point. Prisoner—My husband returned home and. begin to scold me, and I went to bed to shun him, and I tell asleep. 1 never bit him ;it was the tear of my hand ; the children told me so. I did not feel him going to bed. He got up and laid hold of my throat, and my i children took his hands away. He then pushed me, i and fell over the bedstead and injured himself. I went, to see him at the hospital, when be said that I did not bite him. He deserved what he had got, as he was a bad, wicked man. Waddington, the gaoler, said that he knew the hus band of the prisoner to be a quiet inoffensive man, but the prisoner was a violent woman, who had been fre quently at this Court charging people, and he never heard her complain of her husband before. He was a stout, powerful man. Mr. GREENWOOD inquired of Chadwick, the constn . ble, whether the deceased was intoxicated as described ' when ho took him to the hoipital. Chadwick said that he was not. He to'd him (wit ness) that the injury had sobered him. Prisoner—He was drunk wh..in he fell over the bed stead and ruptured himself. Mr. GREENWOOD said that he would remand the pri soner, and he directed the officers to produce the house surgeon and other witnesses who could give any , es i• deuce Sy the next examination of the prisoner. She was taken from the bar much agitated and excited. The officers inquired of Mr. Greenwood relative to their attendance before the Coroner with the prisoner. Mr. GREENWOOD said that he would not advise with them upon that subject, as the Coroner's Inquest was quite an ind.•pendent tribunal. Last night an inquest was held on the body, when a verdict of '• Death by Misadventure" was recorded. El/ EN LNG EDITION.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS. The Chairman of the City Lands Committee brought up the Report, on the reference to reconsider the Re port for building on ground at the west end of Cheap side. The Report stated that the Committee had re considered the subject, and directed the Cierk of the City's Works to propose an amended plan for letting jollrned. LETTER FROM A SEAMAN :‘-)l4' THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE TO HIS 1 7 .4- TI114:R AT PLYMOUTH. the said ground according to an improved line, which he has since done ; and the same having been approved by the Committee, they are of opinion that it would be desirable that the said vacant ground should be let on building leases, according to the amended plan, whereby an opportunity would be afforded of extending the im provemen s, at a future period, as far as Panyer'i-alley. It is necessary to mention, that this recommendation of the Committee, if adopted, would have the effect of.fill ing up tie open space near the Post-office, and thus prevent the grand improvement contemplated of show ing a perfect view of St. Paul's Cathedral from St. Ma r, tin's:le-Grand. The CHAIRMAN baring moved that the Report be agreed to, Mr. R. L. JONES said that he had had the satisfac tion, upon two former occasions, to prevent a similar recommendation from being carried into execution, and he trusted that he should be equally successful at the present moment, for the sake of the character of the Court, to whose aid the public looked with confidence, judging from what had already been accomplished, lor carrying out improvements of utility and splendour. Every one who approached the neighbourhood of St. Paul's, admitted that it was disgraceful to the metropo lis that so noble an edifice should be so completely ea closed that its proportions could not be properly seen, and it was expected that Government would speed ily direct that, at a period when the spirit of improve ment was at work in every other part of the metropolis. a commenerment should be made at the western termi nation of Chcapside. His object was to induce the Corporation to abstain from filling up the spice until the Government could interfere, as he had good rea sons to believe they would.—(Hear, hear.) He then moved that the Report should be laid on the table. Mr. Norms seconded the amendment. Mr. BURTON supported the amendment. If they re solved upon building on the vacant space, they reght eery soon afterwards fee under the necessity of pulling doWn what they rose, end thus resemble those who ere ited gients that they mlglit kill them.—(A laugh.) Ths, advantages n islme from throwing open an area hy me 115. ut w tmiclt the Celle:dr:o arel the Pe=st-effic—eeuld he vi L e e ed at frIC `, w,el{7l he. very greet ; aeld he truAed that the Court would not allow so preposterous a course to be adopted as had been just recommended. Mr. EDKINS said there ,night he ground fie. del tt, if there-existed any re is,n,b!e expectation that the Ge vernmeot would cause the improvement to be made ; but he saw no reason for entertaining any hope ; the ex pense to be incurred by the change would be enormou , . Sir P. LAURIE was most decidedly in favour of the amendment. Every opportunity should be seized for giving free air to the City, which was in several places shut up in lanes and allieys, greatlyto the prejudice of the public health. He regretted that in Paddington there began to appear a disposition to build tall houses in nar row streets ; and in one part of the neighbourhood to which the name of New Z ealand had been given, the miserable principle was adopted to such an extent that the light as well as the air of heaven were almost com 7 pletely shut out, That part, ton, consisted of Church lands.—(Hear.) Now the City ought to follow the example of George IV., who had caused such improve ments in Regent-street and the Strand, and other parts at the west end of the town, as were alone sufficient to establish a claim to the gratitude of posterity. Mr. ANDERTON hoped that not only the improve ment which Mr. Jones wished to see accomplished near St. Paul's would take place, but that a portion of the ground near Ludgate.hill would be also made subject to a plan for more completely securing the public convenience. He hoped that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London would not interpose any objection. Mr. R. TAYLOR spoke also in favour of the amend ment. To agree with the recommendation of this Re port would tend to great inconsistency. He bad been opposed to the plan of taking down the old houses, for he thought at the time that it would be absurd to remove the old buildings from which profits were derived till a plan should be prepared for the im provement of the neighbourhood. That step, however, having been taken, it would b 3 but adding one misfor tune to another, to fill up the space so prematurely formed.—(Hear, hear.) He agreed with Sir Peter Laurie in thinking that as free a circulation as possible should be given to the air, and that the example of the West-end of the town as to street improvements should not be neglected. He looked also with much satisfaction to what had been accomplished in the east end by Mr. R. L. Jones, and he hoped that the beautiful proportions of St. Paul's would soon be thrown open to the public. After suggesting other changes in the vicinity, likely, in his opinion, to add vastly to its convenience and elegance, he said that he felt much gratification in supporting the amendment. Mr. HALL said that the Committee looked very na turally to the enormous expense which the throwing open of the space required for the improvement would occasion. It could not be expected under the sum of 100,0001 ,or more. There were other parts of the City too, in which improvements were more immediately necessary.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUNTER said that in his opinion the City would not at all suffer by the removel of as many houses as should be required to effect the improvement. As they were improving the cast end of Cheapside by building a Royel Exelinee, they ought to i nprove the west end by throwiee ( T en nue the firs! buildings mn time count re. Mr. KING Said that the improvement spoken of would, he was sure, if effected upon the scale described to him, cost at any rate 12e,000/. He condemned the idea or improvine at such an enormous charge, at a time, too, when the condition of Watliog,street was such that a person c.uld ,c,ircely walk or ride through it without danger.—( Hear, h e at.) Mr. R. L. JONES Said he no doubt whatever that Parliament would sanction the improvements in the neighbourhood of St. Paui's. Mr. BEDFORD said that the City proceeded in its improvements, especially in Newgate-street and Far ringdon-street in a waggoner's pace, when they ought to be, according to the spirit of the times, pushing on with railroad speed. Alderman T. WOOD said it was the universal com plaint that no opportunity was afforded of taking a proper view of one of the finest buildings in the country. He argued upon the inconvenience which would re sult from building upon the space to-morrow, and learning immediately afterwards that Parliament deter mined upon doing that for which they would not wait. It should be considered too that but one-third of the property to be affected by the improvement belonged to the• City, while two-thirds belonged to the Govern ment.—(Hear, hear.) The question was then put, and Mr. Jones's amend ment WAS carried by a very large majority. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. Mr. Nomits brought up the Report of the Corn, Ccal, and Finance Committee, upon the petition of the Brtish and Foreign School Society, praying for pecu niary assistance to carry out the objects of the In stitution. The Report stated that the Society was established in 1808, for promoting the daily instruction of the children of the labouring poor on Scriptural and com prehensive principles. The average annual income of the Society, arising from subscriptions and donations and auxiliary associations, amounts to about 2,5001., exclusive of sums derived from various other sources, the whole of w'aich is expended in carrying on its operations. That in the model schools upwards of 900 children are daily in attendance, and since their establishment 50,520 have been received therein. That in the normal de partment more than 2,000 teachers have been selected and trained ; the number of teachers received for in struction during the past year was 192, and 42 were on 1 1 the establishment at its commencement ; of these 86 had been appo.nted to boys' schools, and 68 to girls' schools ; 1:3 have been connected with Societies promoting edu tion in foreign parts ; 54 been withdrawn for want of talent or energy ; and 27 were recently in training. That the local schools in London alone contain 20,844 scholars, and in the colonies every effort has been made to establish schools upon the plan adopted by the Society, with signal success. That the Society arc now proceeding with the erection of a new normal school, for the purpose of affording in struction, in various branches of useful knowledge, to persons whO, having first been selected on account of their unblemished character, and efficient talent for teaching, are hereafter to be, if qualified, recommended as instructors of the children of the poor ; and the Committee of Management have made tneinselvts re sponsible for the cost of erecting buildings capable of permancatly accounnodating with board and lodging at least sixty resident conductors, together with lib: ao and lecture rooms sullicieotiy extensive for the instru,- tion of a much larger nun ber. That the estimated e pense of the erection of the proposed normal school is upwards of 15,000/. ; and the completion of the whole, including both the male and female departments, toge ther with the establiOurient of a model rural se . l,o "' v,lll upNArds of 20,0001., towards which the suns of 12,0001., including 5,0001 , irons the Parliamentary grant, has been raised, and for the remainder the Committee of the Society arc respon sible. e e n a en r t e That the Committee having attentively consi dered the su bj ec t, cannot refrain from expressing their conviction of the vast importanceef being the eminently measures in which the Society was engaged, as calculated to advance the best interests of the human race, by bestowing on he ef tLa poor a use. ftsi and scriptural education; and g . oeln of cpmi Gr , t h at Sofic:ty Merits, in nu the nance and liberal support of the Court, now move d t h a t the sum of 1,000/. be granted i n aid of its funds, the MY DEAR FATIIER,--I have received your vteleml"' letter, and happy to hear all our dear family are well, as I am at present, although I must say s ince I last wrote to you we have bad some sharp work for the eyes, I do assure you.
