He believed time Was one person having a shop in the market, for which he paid £25 a year, doing a business of £5OO a week. Alderman BtlorErr thought the present appropriation of the market was a disgrace to the Markets Committee. Mr. GLADSI'OIVE objected tti' the sale of ginger beer, gingerbread, sweets, and other like articles, in the Markets. Mr. JOHNSON said ginger beer, kc., was only sold on stalls Which - were Occupied the 'eM•ty part of the ni,..erriing by the farmers. If it was th e w i s h o f t h e uOnimil that a considerable revenue should be thrown a way, and notice given to the parties selling these small articles to leave the market, the committee could have no objection. Mr. KITCHEN defended.the committee from the charge made by Alderman Bennett. • The bye-law appropriating St. John's Market was then confirmed.

Alderman WOODRUFF depreCated the use of such words as "disgraceful," in the course of debate. He found that Alderman Bennett had used that word twice, but he would point to the necessity of gentlefnen refrain ing from throwing stones in glass-houges, and reminded the Alderman that his own property, near St. -john's Market, was in a most disgraceful state, and was occupied by quack doctors and vendors of physic. (Roars of laughter.) . The Alderman should set his own house in order before complaining of others. (Renewed laughter.) He hoped soori to gee a good building treated on the land iii dueition, and the quack doctors and such people banished. (Roars of:laughter.) Mr. Jeffery, Alderman Parker ?

Mr. HODSON said it would be difficult to answ'er that question as to the early part of the fire; hilt eventually, at any rate, there was an abundance of water. His own impression was, after full inquiry, that the supply of water was very ample indeed, There was a state ment in. the Doily Post of that day which Iva; very much exaggerated, and he desired to say that it was the great. anxiety of the cornmittee, to . give the most ample and the elnickest possible stipply of *Ater. The 'MA:ycin said he was at the fire for 'leak> , three hours, and he did not hear any complaints of want of Water. He belieVed, from What he saW, that iheie was h very fait supply of Water:. (Heir, bear.) Mr. CLINT said Mr. Hewitt, - the superintendent of .the fire&police brigade, reported to the Watth Corimittee that the supply of water " was Slack at firat."

(Hear,. hear.) - The TOWN-CLERIC said some years ago, When there were many fires in warehoilses in LiVerpoel, it. was sag= gested in the ToWn Connell that the coroner should hold incineseS iii such cases. He thereupon took -the opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor-General of that day, and those gentlenien thought itnot eoniPetentrfer the coroner to hold such inquests. , The practice was common in London, .but was, under. a peculiar grant .or act. Per haps a 'clause giving such power might, however; be inserted in the COroneri) Bill now before radaineitt: Mr. Kitchen's question .been Answered by the tending :of the Ves'ohition of the committei on the sahidet, the subject dropped.

Alderman PARKER said it was tide; lint the torn mittee had resolved that for the future every washer should make a deposit on entering the building.

Mr. AvisoN moved that the consideration of the whole matter be postponed until the next monthly meeting of the Couneil. Mr. JITTERY moved the confirmation of the proceed ings of the committee, and said it would be seen that they were of a character to allay any uneasiness as to the. probability that there would' be an extravagant expenditure. Now, would it be credited that the Cor poration paid £44,420 a, year in salaries to officers. Now, _they had 87 clerks, and he believed that they were so numerous because they were scattered over various buildings in different parts of the town: They had 43 survey Ors, engineers, inspectors, ;25 super tendents and keepers, and 16 draughtsmen. (Hear, hear.) There was paid to heads of departments no less Alderman Woorinurr cautioned the Council against agitating the question of gi-ing up the retail markets.

Afsift •,- THE "WIFE' S SECRET.', This highly gifted actor and actress appeared fasi night at the Theatre Royal, in Lovell's play et the "Wife's Secret," before a ntinierons; f;tshimtable, and highly delighted audience. 'The - incidents of this drama are taken from the trou blous times,of the Cominon,wealth, when the fitive,intes tine struggles of Cavalier and Roundhead invaded the peat the carriedstrife,.a n d t oo o f ten ruin, too the hottscis no familia, of .7 . 1 . 1 . classes of society. Sir Walter Amyott, a colonel in the PatildiiiMee' y service (Mr, C. Ran), having beefs actively engaged in the 6141 war, has for' seine considerable time been netesiarily absent Picini heMe, and his faithful and affeCtionatei wife, the Lady Eveline fluty It (Mrs. G. jri a ii), has dutifully yet anxiously awaited We long -looked for. news of peace and the- return of her lord from the campaign. At last, the , Protector's army having triumphantly scattered the Royalists--" the Malignants," as they were called,--were under the necessity of securing their retreat from the shores of England, or of hiding themselves in such plaCes of refage as they severally could devise. If anything had ever happened to clisititb the smooth current of conjugal aft'ection end domestic felicity mtitttally enjoyed , by, Sir Waite: and Lid'y it found its only Cause in the ciretimstance of a brother o't the fddY'S h'aVing espinised and fought for the Royal cause. This brother—'Lord Arden (Mr. Eierett), like his fellows .in defeat, sought refuge, it was supposed by many, and, among , others by Sir Walter Amyott, in. France. In reality, hoWever, he 'had, lie, , en unable to obtain a transport, and in his eXfremity to sai"ie , Vis' Melte had betaken himself to the mansion of Sir Walter, wbeio he claimed his sister, Lady veline's protection until some means shOnld hntlistovered for his safe escape from England. He arrived in tliZe'fo` see his sister before her husband's return from the held ; and he appealed,' not in vain, to her sisterly affection. On her conceding him a shelter, he demanded en oath froth her,' which she too rashly yielded, that she should not disclose the fact of his concealment in the house to one, not even to her httsbattd, whose stern sense of duty to ,th'e po'pnlar caitsei he feaied, might have over come every other cetieidqatidn, and tnehreed him to surrender even his wife'S brother power of the Lord High Protector. 'fills is the wife's sparei.''' • Scarcely has Lady Eveline taken this unhappy step"tend given this ill-considered pledge of seeresy, when the tram; piing of horses in the courtyard and the shouts of weicome from the domestics, startle the ears of biother and sister; whoat once realised the truth that Sir Walter Amyott, the long-absent husband, was there on the threshold of his own dwelling, andithat the concealment of the fugitive must be instantly effected at all hazards. Mated, the lady's. faeurite maid (lfrs• iiower), riklied into the apartmtert to announce her mestei's appfoach, dud ii'efng apprised of the secret and of,the difficulty of imP rctr i s id g an' easy method of fiafeV bestb'siiig the . caValfer, she at once suggested his instant retreat tO anadjoining apartment, while Lady. Eveline should receiveand • welcome Sir . The 'meeting .betw6t;ii. btkiband Bifaitef on his retu::: and wife was eotdial and unclatded, save by the anxiety , which the lady could not but feel for her brother's safety, and the danger which might arise should Sir , Walter hilppen to enter the adjoining room. Mind, never s:t a less for efrisdients, attributed her lady's emotion to the rinse atmosphere of the apartment, and suggested that her - niastei Wet lie't forth to another, or to the open' air. All this' transpired err vlbgt vlasnown as Lady Eveline''s bower chamber, to which sue' had chiefly confined herself during . Sir Walter's painful sin s e at'd tb'cl 4er,ready-witted maid suggested' that a chamber Peopled 4 do' miu4 painful associations 'to her lady, should be abandoned ,kinid l eked UP for a time, and that another room should 'be selected to' the. joint occupation Of her now .11aPpily• re-united master and mistress. The hint was. adopted and urged by the, lady. The doting husband, albeit at first somewhat Mailed by the curious proposal, was- too happy -to hesitat r o a tdoment in complying with so moderate a recitiett, Thee lady's bower chamber was forthwith locked up, and Lard A:'rden thus became virtually its , prisoner. The lady aifcl her .maid kept the key and attended to the • contfOit's of the fugitiVe. They might soon have arranged' a. sof** for his deliverance ; but mischief was already at weiti to mar , their good intents and, prevent that which, in its worst phase, was only a thoughtless impropriety, into a source of bitterness and grief which imperilled the peace and even the lives of those between whom there need nerd have existed the slightest disquiet, or suspicion. _ _ _ The eodeltd, act develops the fact that Jabez Sneed, steward to •Sir Walter (Dfr.. J, F. Cathcart) is deeply concerned in my lady having forsworn and locked up her lower chamber, from which he is resolved on titracting certain' mysterious papets by lout or fair means. He tries first to' coax and then to frighten Maud into the secret fitrtheranCe of his views; but. she, fortified by the co-operation of my lady's . page, Neville (Mies Chaiaman), whom she has, to same extent involun tarily, taken into ,her councils, fairly, outwits th designing old Puritan, tint: he is driven to the last • teiorn:ce of endeavouring lo ;..1.73ed scispicion in the iniFfei or Sit Walter against filebe4v.: Himse lf an old bachefoi rind an ..-indulged sdiffirgc, who had served the house for tsad 'gelieraiions, he attelt pt". to open his diabolical campaign by failfrrg to Sir Walter against Women in general. The triumphrint mid lant - cotorreir of the Commonwealth indignantly denounces his churlish . romail and, boastfully rejoicing in his well bestowed and fittingly reciprocated affection for his wife, drives Jabez almost to clespair of being able to shake his confidence in Lady Evcline. fri his pen: plegity ; Jabez resolves to endeavour to obtain possession of the lost papers through the window of the lower chamber.. At a fitting opportunity, he attempts to carry. out this project, and while Mend is in the apartment spreading ri Modest repast tot the imprisoned Lord Arden, the:fafe itighfen'ed by the sudden bursting open of the window sash. Jabez soddenly retreats, and conceals himself in the shrubbery, having, dearlitless, been-as much alarmed at what he Could then see, as' th e inmates Of the mysterious chamber themselves. He his just seen too niacin; net to haVe known more of the truth, and his mischief-breeding linaaination could not fail to tura such knowledge to bad account. In the-third act; the wicked steward returns to the attack upon his master's confidence in his lady, greatly embOldened, of course, by what he had discovered in his attempt linen the window` of the chamber. Amyott, startled by the'Menial's boldness, at first storms roundly against iiarroW-inindeet jealolisy,protests his implicit trust in his wife as one nitetly incapable oiseoretly harbouring a man in her forsaken chamber ; eliarges Jabez with malicious hatred of his lady, and the desire to trill: her peace and his. In the midst of this tempest between Sir, Walter and the pampered domestic, Lady Evcline enterF i .radiarit with love and conscious innocence. The detractor. skulks aside abashol, and Sir Walter vows that. mistrust towards het is wicked_---ney, iMposSible. The embraces which both exchange are more raptdrous than ever. Nothing "daiintiid, however, Jabez resumes , the' conflict, and lirivea the lady, to flee truth' of her i n nocency and his own falsehood, by inime diate entrance to the chamber. The justice cif thie challenge is apparent. The husband, yields—demands turn I:q4 She refuses.

Who, save Charles " Kean,. can ado,' 3_ Again, at this critical Moment does the fiend-inspired Jgbez - return'to his cruel nite§idii.

A cavalier is visible in the interior, and anon . ' Lady Prelim enters and embraces him. Oh, horror! the ptoof of her guilt seems complete and irresistible, and the tinhappYSir Walter sinks prostrate to the earth. ' The fourth act presents the sad spectacle of the loving, confiding, 'bid courageous Amyott struck down 'by a humiliating feeling of what he considers irre- • parable dishonour. The cruel Jabez would aggravate the mina and stimulate his master to revenge. tut no. For the Wrong he felt he could obtain no justice-- seek iicfreaenge: He trembles like •a leaf. His lovn, for his lost wife is iiiiquenobable.,._4e is almost ready to call his senses liars rather than Bite way to a weight of evidence which he nevertheleds knows not how to over come. . He resolves to send for her and see her,again. Resolved never to charge her with guilt or permit her to know that he. had watched and discovered her, he would now give her one last opportunity to tuaraxel the mystery, and reveal her awful secret. " Perhaps - she is still innocent," and, sobbing like a child, he awaits her approach. The parifUl and eloquent scene which follows, must be seen - to be fully realised. 'They are interrupted by the arrival of an intimation that " malignant" had been traced to the' liOnse,' and that detachment of the Parliamentary forces bad come ti apprehend him,.

The serpent is a favourite eine nient with Paliesy, mid Most of his, handles are formed by them: The grotesque is also a striking feature in thetestrange productions. In another portion of the shop tire visitor will find himself surrenteded by a wcinderful variety of ornamental clocks, in -china, si?t'er, gilt, and bronze. As the pieces vary from two guineas fee £BO, it may readily be conceived that invention seems to have been exhausted in their several designs. All subjects are emttraetl in their conception, and , every : beauty of ornament Mrr been laid hold of. In this, as in every other department, we find the useful side by side with the beautiful ; and in so Mn, which are ticketed at a moderate price, the prayer of the Spartan is aneecred; 'for use and beauty is happily combined. Some compact little clocks; encased, in strong plate Ong frames, and guarded by morocco cases, , arnintended as travelling -clocks to accompany the traveller - in his carriage. They are constructed with: great irecision, else the tumbling ahont they get would soon render them of no use. They are, contrived to serve as repeaters and alumni. One peculiarity in this depart- Anient,is that all the clocks are made by the establiah ment, they having a manufactory for this purpese in Paris, and Mr. Tooke is thus enabled to guarantee the perfect workmanship of the beautiful timepieces on view. In reserve, there.is a very rare collection of Sevres end Dresden .china. Each piece is fitted in ant elaborate morocco case, lined with silk, and some are worth more than their weight in gold. A small cup and saucer were shown, as thin as p d as light as an egg shell - apparently. Their weight, could not exceed 1 oz., but their price was 10s, A coffee set of Dresden china, containing six cups and saucers, was exceedingly rich, being in purple and gold, god each cup containing a view in Dresden. From the label r iti - price Was upwards of £l6. A Siivres china vase, is turquoise and gold, about two feet high, was marked at £55; and its beauty was as conspicuous is its price. A tazza, with cover, of exnuisite design and ornamentation, about ten inches in height, is valued, from its excellency as a specimen of china work, , . at .£75. The upper portion was pi iced as in trellis work. Some coloured Parian ornaments-- another triumph of French ingenuity—are to be seen, the first, it is believed; that have yet come to England. The fanciful and the ornamental certainly predo .Minete in this gi'eat establishment; but the useful .everyday artfele may also bp found. For instance, the cutlery alepartment, though coin - prising many articles of value, such as ivory work cases, filled with , gold ant; silver instrume nts, contains an extensive assortment of etZ'rSdaY ar ticles, at • Jr , from . ! 6(1 .1 • - np Lyra, r da.

Some pos e ee :ve gems of art, the covers being set with perfect speciniens Pf minute carving in wood, or elaborately painted by an artist of ability. Like most articles of taste, we are indebted for these to the ingenious artificer. We have, thus tu,deavoured to give the public s general' peep into this' ei2ormous establishment ; but where the description ifs feei.;la when compared with the thing &sail - 3.M, and when" ;much that would demand description/ is scarcely hinted At, all who feel an interest in works of art should go and see for themselves. .

Sbe said she had Just come up from Scotland, and bad that morning £4 in hei Pocket, -but had got drunk in a public-house and lost if, le gather with the skirt of her dress. Her bores were at the docks where - she had landed, and she was penniless. Believing thin account to be true, he sen t h er to the workhouse, so'that she tither made a false statement to him or to his worship, Mr. Arnold (to the appticant)—What have you to say to' this? Applicant—lt carmot possibly be me. Mr. Arliotd—Then you did not sleep at the work house last night ? Applicant—No, your worship, I assure you I didn't. Mr. Arnold—Where did you sleep ? Applicant —At No. 8, Holywell-street, .Westniinster. Mr. Ceaplin—l assure your worship that she is not telling the truth; and you will see that this woman has no skin to her dress. Applicant—l assure you the inspector is wrong. Mr. Ceaplin---I cats bring forward the constable 'who took her to the workhouse. Mt. Arnold having desired this to be done, Police-constable Holloway attended in a few minutes, and said at half-past one this morning he took the applicant by the inspector's direction to the workhouse. Mr. Arnold, having called the young woman forward, said this certainly was the most impudent and shameless attempt at fraud he had aver heard of in his life. Having contrasted - the 6,6 statements of the applicant, the worthy magistrate continued —She had pretended another magistrate had sent her, and had brought him a sort of begging letter soliciting aid. He was in a great mind to commit her for the impudent fraud she had practised, and had she not made this statement to him as a magistrate, but had made it to any one else, and had been brought before him for doing sci, - he certainly should have punished her severely.
