COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL

Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of
business.
INLostr-rAx ON THE PILOFEILTT OF THE CORPORATION.—
Deputy Lore brought up the report " for payment of the
imitate-tax on the property of the corporatiou." It stated
that the Chamberlain, having prepared and laid before the
committee a statement of the income of the corporation
(exclusive of the rents and interests on fund, el property) for
the year 1817, together with the several abatements and
deductions therefrom, with a view of showing the amount
which should he returned to the commissioners appointed
by the act in order that the corporation might be assessed to
,he duties payable thereby for the year ending the sth of
A.prl, 1819, they duly c moldered the same, and found, after
a careful examination, that the city income, subject to the
duty of 7.1. in the pound, amounted to the sum of
•28,549/. 54. 7d., and were of opinion that the sum of 7741. 7s.
should be paid to the commissioners.
The report was referred back to the committee, with
directions that they should take measures to carry it into
execution.
Tue. lutsa Soct err.—Mr. Dakin brought up a report on
the reference re vetting the management of the Irish Society.
It bad been referred to the commie, e to consider and report
whether any, and, if any, what alterations should be adopted
for the better management of the Irish Society, and the
repent stated as follows : •• The terms of the re:erence not
expressly defining any particulur point for an inquiry, we
requested Deputy Peacock to state to us his object more pre-
cisely, whit!' that gentleman accordingly did. Prior, how-
ever, to taking the paints into consideration, we had a pre-
liminary communication with the Irish Society, and upon
considering the whole case, your committee are of opinion
that it is not requisite for them on the statements which
have been made to proceed further in the proposed inquiry,
they not being of a r according with the powers
possessed by the corporation in relatbn to the society, as
explained by Lord Lyndhurst in his judgment, in which he
rays that • the society may be liable to account for miecon-
, duct to the corporation of the city of Lordon, who can ex-
, ercise control over them; and if they misconduct themselves,
they can be restrained and kept in order by that autho-
rity.' "
A conreration took place, in which it was stated that
the investigation which had taken place in the committee
was calculated to do much service in checking unnecessary
expendi•ure, and Deputy Peacock, who had caused the
reference to be made, expressed himself satisfied that the
evils he wished to correct would be removed.—The report
was thee agreed to.
Upon the motion of Alderman JonsisoN, a petition from
the Royal General Dispensary in A•dertsgate.street, praying
tor assistance, was referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance
Conittee.
Fieensom of rite CITY.—Tho court then entered
into a discussion upon Mr. Wire's motion, " that the fine for
admission into the treedom of the city by redemption be the
aucient tine of 4Ge. &1.," but the court we. counted out.
The Lord Mayor, however, agreed to place the notice for
discussion at tee bead of the next paper of business.

TILE GARDE MOBILE.—The number of tho Edin-
burgh Rerieto, just published, gives the following very just
appreciation, though written beforetand, of the conquerors
of J one :—" The institution of the garde mobile was p.rhaps
the most fortunate device of all. Under this designation
some 20,000 of the most energetic actors in the days of the
barricades were speedily enlisted on the aide of the order
they bad overthrown ; and in this capacity it is undeniable
that they have performed both faithful and important ser-
vice. They leave resolutely adhered to that section of the
government which was at once both most respectable and
predominant. They own the authority of the Assembly,
hich they have more than once protected, and it must be
acknowledged that they act with impartial alacrity whenever
appeal is made to them. They suppress Communist proms.
alone and Polish demonstrations ; they are available qua':ly
against M. Louis Blanc and his socialists, and against M.
Sobrier and his Moutagnards ; they stand as sentries before
the hall of the assembly, and have just bivouacked before
the house of M. Thiers. But then it must be remembered
that they enjoy a very agreeable license as regards discipline,
mid receive each the pay of four soldiers of the line—advan-
tages sufficient both to explain and ensure a decent pliability
of temper. As to their republicanism, they are certainly
engaged in suppre,sing those political opinions which were
developed by the insurrection of February, and are lending
their very effective aid to those who have imprisoned their
comrades ; nor have we any serious doubt that, upon the
same terms, they would form a guard of honour for Louis
Nor leon, or escort M. Guizot upon a triumphal return."
HERRING TRADE.—WICK, JUNE 23.—Attempts
have been successfully made this week by some of our local
fishermen to make a sort of commencement to the fishing
here. On Monday evening two boats went out, and one of
them returned with the fourth of a con. On Tuesday

AN ANCIENT RELIC—A very good though incom-
plete specimen of a canoe Wes taken out of tt e bed of the
Tay, at Sieeplms bland, en Thursday last. Like all that
hare been found, it is simply the trunk of a large oak, hol-
lowed out and rudely sbsped into the form of a boat. One
of the ends is lost; but the remaining portion still me nurse
about 22 feet in length. It is intended to bring it to Perth,
and to take measures for preserving it ass relic of the
put.— Pert &hi; e Courier.
INTERCOURSE WITH THE CONTINENT.—Tbe usual
return of passenger traffic between England and France

25:—Through Boulogne, 1,287; Calais, 197. The corre-
sponding period in 1847 gave, through Boulogne, 1,727 ;

Bitioirroo, June 29.-The supply of Wheat at this mar-
ket was very small ; and, as :ital.( re evinced a disposition to
bay, it was all cleared off, at fully the rates of this day week.
No advance, however, was made. B irley, Oats, Beaus, and
Peso, are in moderate demand, and still maintain our quota-

foreign arrivals, our supply rosetwise and from Ireland is
2,3.50 qrs. Oats, 623 Barley, 321 Wheat; 410 sacks Flour. Tito
supply of Wheat from farmers has fallen off, and prices asked
are rather higher. The business done at to.day's market
was rather in favour of the sellers of Wheat : English, 49e.

mand.

Della?" June 29.-The supply of Wheat to-day wag
large, and at the opening of the market more money was
asked ; but, in order to do business, sellers were obliged to
submit to last week's prices, when a pool amount of busi-
ness was done, but little remaining unsold at the close.
There was scarcely a sample of Batley to be seen • hut, for
grinding purposes, it maintains previous rates. Deans were
rather more in demand, and sold freely. In Oats and Peas

GAISSIIROUGH. June 27. The market was well sup-
plied with grain to-day ; but little bu‘iness was done, aa the
farmers held out for higher prices, which buyers were not
disposed to give. Wheat ntly be quoted as last wcck,
without any alteration.
GODALI4I:4O, June 23.—Tbere was not much life in the
Wheat trade here to-day ; but last week'sprices were reali-ed
for such as changed hands. Wheat, red, 425. to 461. ; tine,

as before. Wheat, 445. to 49a. Barley, 26a. to 30s. Oats,
163. to 203. Beans, 3-o. tolls. per qr.

last week's prices, but Barley was Is. per qr. cheaper. le
other articles little duiug, and prim on the decline.
MAIDSTONE, June V.-A very dragging trade for all
grain. Wheat dull at last week's prices ; and in Lent C..rn
nothing doing.
Newara, June 28.-The market was will supplied with
Wheat; but little Spring Corn was ',hewn, and we bad •
very heavy market, at late prices. Wheat, white, Oils. to

been genial for the growing crop. Barley rather cheaper.
Oats, Beans, and Peas remain the same.
PLYMOUTH, June 29.-This market continues badly sup-
plied with Wheat from farmers; and this morning there
was a good demand, and some sales were made at 6d. to /a.
advance on Tuesday's prices. The weather continues wet
and boisterous.
ROMSET, June 29.-We had a very thin attendance hers
this day, both of farmers and millers. The weather being

firmness.

per load ; Barley, 245. to 295. per qr.; Oats, 18e. to 2.5 a.
SHEFFIELD, June 27.-At our market to-day we had
about an average supply of Wheat on offer, and there was
net much inclination on the part of buyers to do any business
• at last week's prices; and those rates being firmly demanded
by the holders, the consequence was that only a moderato
i amount of business was transacted. In other articles
aeareely:anything doing. The following may be taken as the
