KoaroLA,

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of
public business.
THn DSATH OFTEN QUISN DORAOIIII.
The full tug notice on the_paper took precedence of the
other business of the court, "To express the sense of the
court on tn. melancholy event of the ...miss of her Majesty
the Queen Dowager."
Sir PETER LAURIE said the first business of the court
was to agree to • resolition of condolence with her Majesty
the Queen, Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family,
upon the lamented death of the Queen Dowager. He telt
the greatest anxiety to propose a resolution to that effect,
inennunek as her late Majesty had done hiss the high honour
if ',hide, the Kinston Hones in his mayoralty, as honour
e mullet ion of which could
Ms memory. The coed was, believed, restricted
so the We of • mere resolation of condolence, and
bad not the privilege of approaching the throne
with an address. He should therefore mere a resolution
Impressive of the feeling of the court upon the lea of as
malted individual, who had been remarkable for deeds el
(MeV and the must unbounded benevolence. (Hoar, hem.)
Aldermen HUSIPHERY said it would give him the
Weigle gratification to second the resolution. He had also
• rseolloction of the visit of Queen Adelaide to the
House, for he bad attended as one of the sherio
enring the mayorslty of Sir Peter Laurie, when Queen
Adelaide partock of a clejerinif at that place of civic festivity.
(Hear, boar.) The resolution was then agreed to unani-
mously.
21111 CHARTISTS IN NSWOIII.
Kr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE, and Mr.
NICOLL, the other sheriff, presented the reports irons the
several prisons of the City. The health of the inmates was
represented as very good, and the condition of the prisms
wee stated to be extremely class, and yell ventilated.
Kr. Aideirstrut LAWRENCE presented petitions from
Besot and Shaw, the chemists, who had been sentenced at
• period of gnat. public excitement to imprisonment in
Newgate for chartmoi. It appeared that the two chartists
had upentheir introduction to Igewgato taisconducted them-
selves in the moat estramigant manner, and so abused the
vary great privileges to which they were admitted that it be-
anie necessary to limit those privileges and to plan them on
Um system prescribed for the regulation of persons convicted
ef cAmes under ordinary circumstances. A :great change
had, however, been wrought in the conduct of the refractory
alsartists. Far some time they had both acted with remark-
able proprioty, end the language of their petitions now pre-
sented to the coati exhibited the improvement unequivocally.
Beam, who, it appeared, bad a poetical turn, wished to have
opportunities, not of translating the Psalms of David, but of
turning them into verse. The two prisoners prayed too for an
increase of light and lire, and the use of paper and pen end
ink, not for the ;purpose of inculcating and disseminating
dangerous doctrines, but for that of • more frequent and
agreeable communication with their families. T psi.
lioness also prayed for some alteration in diet, •and me there
was good reason for believing that their conduct had under-
gone very advantsgeens change, it was to be hoped that the
court would listen favourably_ to the application. (Hear.)
Kr. Alderman COPELAND said he happened to be one
of the visiting magistrates when the refractory conduct of
the chartists was complained of in the prison, and certainly
during his experience he had never witnessed behaviour
more incompatible with the discipline necessary to be ob-
served in • place appointed for the confinement of criminals.
If, however, the court were of opinion that fiti.h could be
placed in the sincerity of the atop stated to have taken
place, he would not oppose the relaxation of the restrictions
to which they had been subjected. (Hear, hear.)
After some further discusmon, the petitions were referred
to the Gaol Committee.
TEI ROYAL ARTILLERY COMPANY.
Mr. Alderman HOOPER moved with closzd doors. as
we were given to understand, that it be referred to the Com-
mittee of Privileges to inquire into the recent changes made
in the Honourable the Royal Artillery Company, and to re-
port to the court the result of that inquiry.
The motion was agreed to.

FRA3ILINGIIAM FARMERS' CLUlt.—Tile tenth an-
niversary muting was held es Tuesday last. About 45
gentlemen dined at the Crown and Anchor Inn, the chair
Wag takes by J. Pierson, Esq. The secretary, Mr. D. W.
Freeman, read the report, which gave a brief summary of
the proceedings at the meetings of the pest year, witti the
recommendation, which were adopted. On the subject of
leases, the report stated " that the no
of a very longleases,
evening's illacussion produced the following heads of a
lease, as being the best adapted to the county of Suffolk,
more particularly the Framlinghant district (heavy land)
Term—l 2 yeere ;if ne notice is given four years previous
to the expiration, by either party, then it is to extend eight I
yeah from that period ; and iuraW, if no notice is given rev
years previous to the termination of the eight years, then it
is extended eight years as before ; and this arrangement to
continue till either party give four years' notice. Cropping
—A clause preventing the tenant growing two white straw
mops in sueosasion. Pastures—As the tenant consumed all
his hay upon the farm, he shall be at liberty to mow the

tenant shall do all the work, ceder the (-Mention of the land-
lord, or his agent: in no case less than four clean ploughings.
As regards remuneration fey nitexhansted improvements,
it was considered that it would be sufficient, if repay-
ment for draining done during the last years of the lease
was secured on a graduated and seaway understood
scale, soy, for pipe draining done during the last eight years,
the whole amount if done the last year, dropping one-eighth
for each previous year. If other materials were used, the
allowance to extend to four yam, dropping each year.
It was decided that artificial manures do not enrich the
land more than one, or at most two years, and that it would
not therefore be necessary or right to ask an incoming
tenant to repay any part of such outlay. One-half the
hoeing of wheat, beans, end peas, done in the last year,
and also one half the weeding of barley. The landlord ta
pay the rent-charge, land-tax, and quit-r ents the tenant
the parochial charges. Stones—The tenant shall keep his
