THZ LATE LEL CANNING.
Kr. Alderman Elexonons brought forward the modes et
which he had gime notice, "That by the lamentaddecease
of the Bight Hoe. the Earl Canning, the late Governor.
Hens& of India, this court is prevented from carrying into
east ita unaainsons resolution of presenting the freedom of
this City to that distinguished nobleman • and therefore
avails itself of the earliest opportunity of ;wording its deep

nistration of the government of India at a period of peat

Mr. Rowe had also given *Mies of the following
—" That a bust of the lam Right lion. the Earl Canning

placed within the Guildhall"
Alderman SALOMON', is proposing the motion, said it
was one that required no preface tom him, but spoke for

awes those eminent men upon whom is keener
time the ease honour had been coaferred. (Rem.
boar.) All that remained for them to do was to express
the regret that was felt by all at this untimely west. sea
he should propose that the resolution which be was sure
would be agreed to unanimously should be copied and Mum-
matted to Lady Clanricarde, the seinivieg sister of the de-
ceased noble lord, who was is oosatant attendance upon
hint during his last illness. lie was aware that his friend
Mr. Rowe hada motion upon the subject, but it appeared b
him that this motion might be very wall added to his own,
sad that the two might be carried together. (Hear.)
' Mr. Rows said he had no objection to the course that was
suggested by Hz. Alderman Mimeos, and be seconded the
anti" and he at the same time °merest that unfelt assured
the corponstios of the City of London would readily consent
to head down to posterity a lasting testimony of iii appro.
elation of the able mamer in which Earl Owning had ad-
, ministered the affairs of our lodian empire. (Cheers.)
The motion was then put and agreed to.
• Alderman itiameores next moved that a copy of the repo-
t lidera of the court should be transcribed and signed by the
• Town Clerk, and transmitted to lady Claaricarde, the ear-
, tiring sister of the deceased, and that it should also be
vertised in the usual newspapers.

Mr. H. W. Ve.hiauecx, the chairman of the Bridge Hoene
Estates Committee, brought up • report from that com-
mittee in reference to the proposed new bridge. The report
MY not read, but it recommended the erection of • bridge
of five arches, and wee accompanied by five plans for a
bridge of that description. It appeared that thirteen
engineers bad submitted plans, but only five were accepted
by the committee. Mr. Veneers moved that the meat
should be printed, sad that on early day should be named to
discuss it, sa he said that the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company could not proceed with their bridge until
the corporation had decided upon the character of bridge
they intended to erect, as it was agreed by all the engineers
that it was most essential that the piers of the two bridges
should be exactly parallel with each other.
Mr. Dr JElttlEY thought the court should not be bound
by the decision of the committee as to the five plans they
had accepted, bat that they should have an opportunity at
looking at the whole of the plane that had been sent in,
and he should certainly reserve to himself the right of pro-
posing the adoption of any plan that bad not been acespted
by the committee, if he considered it to be more eligible
than any of those accompanj lug the report. (Hear, bear.)
After a abort discussion it was proposed and anted that
the five accepted plans should be placed in the court for the
members to examine, and that the rejected plans should be
placed in different committee rooms where they would; hays
access to them, and have an opportunity of emmideriag
them also.

COAL, CONN, AZT, mance Cololll‘ll.
Mr. JOHN YOUNG, jun., the chairman of the trial. Corns
and Finance Committee brought up a report were mmodhig
that a sum of 2001. should be expended in layteg cat tire
land in front of the Loodou Alnishouires, Mates, as •
garden, also that one hundred guico al should be grated
towards the erection of the new ragged school in Beek's-row,
Wbitechapel, and fifty guineas Gi the Islington Dispensary.
This report led to some discussion. Mr. Tegg, Dr.
Abraham, Ile. De Jersey, Mr. Lowman Taylor, and several
other members of the court expressing their opinion with
regard to the first portion of it, that it would be much
better to employ the money in a practical rescuer upon the
land by enabling it to grow potatoes or other vegetables for
the use of the isolates, than to expend it in making a gar-
den • and eventually this portion of the report referred
back for further consideration. The proposition of granting
• hundred guineas to the Ragged School was negatived, ilia
the sum reduced to 50 guineas. With regard to the last
propostion, to grant 50 guineas to the Ishogton Dispensary.
the court appeared to be almost unsainiously of opraion
that no ease bad bees made out for such a grant, and
Deputy Low observed that it was almost a disgrace to the
wealthy parish of Is to come to that court and ask
for • past for an institution with which the corporation
were is no way counseled, and which they were quite able
to guesser& from their own looality if proper measures were
resorted to.
Mr. H. L. TAM* eventually moved an amendment that
this portion of the report do lie upon the table, which was
speed to, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned.
