ment end permanent improvement of that important depen-
dency of the British crown.
Jir. Rowe., in mending the motion, said that after the
graphic manner in which the worthy alderman bad
depicted the career of Earl Canning, very little re-
mained for him to say in support of it. If.

country he had no idea that within a very short period
of time a widirepread motley would break out all over
India that weal! imperil the wapremacy of this country
bat he was waited to tbe emergeney, end be
through tholmmory at ear leddlera and sailors, in patting
down the rebellion. Ha then tempered justice with mem,
and the course he punned redacted the highest honour upon
him. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by expressing his satis-
faction that the cierpeestioa of Loudon would be the Gist to
give a public welcome to the sable earl (Hem, hear.)

nt THE CITY

Deputy Lori, the chairman of the Police Committee,
brought up a report in reference to the question whether
application should be made to parliament for further powers
tabs given to the magistrates to regulate the traffic within
the City of London.
The report stated that the committee had been in tom-
tounhatiou with Sir G. Grey, the Horns Secretary, upon
this subject, and that be had admitted the necessity of
something being dome, and suggested that the committee
should rod him the draft of a bill containing the alterations
which in their opinion ought to be made. A draft had
mmardingly been prepared and was annexed to the report,
and the eammitre asked for the sanction of the court to
submit it to the Boon Secretary.
Deputy Lorr explained that the only additional powers
DOW sought to be obtained were such as would enable the
City magistrates to regulate the routes of the omnibuses, the
whole of which nearly now passed down Chespeide. By a
return that was made it appeared that in olio hour 293
omnibuses passed through Grapside, and only two sect
through Connoostreet, and at present the magistrates had
no power to interfere. The proposed bill would also give
additional powers to prevent empty cabs from plying in the
crowded thoroughfares.
Yr. Bons maid the question was one of very considerable
importance, and he suggested that it was ad able that the
bill should be printed, and every member of the court would
then sire an opportunity of coosidering its provisions before
they came to a decision respecting it.
Alderman LAWRLDOZ said he was quits prepared to admit
the importers of the subject, but he must observe that
care should be taken that the citizens of Loudon did not
receive an injury to their business by any alterations that
wise made. Meer, hear.) He had uudentoed that the
committee were to confer with the magistrates of the City
is reference to the matter, but, for his own part, he was
watirly ignorant of the provisions of the proposed bill,
and be therefore thought that it would be better that the
suggestion of Mr. Bone should be adopted, and this would
give him and his brother magistrates an opportunity of cmi•
✓aring the nature of the alterations that were proposed
to be made.
Yr. IL 31. PHILIPPS said he hed there would be no un•
neeserry, delay, arid that the ,bill would be printed at once,
rit was absolutely necessary something should be done to
remedy the stute of confusion that at present existed.
The further consideration of the subject was then ad•
*med.

TZ Or

The Law and Parliamentary Committee heeeght up a
report by their chairman, Mr. Langham, upon the above
subject but, upon the motion of Mr. Ellis, it was referred
beck to them for further oixisidissike.
