counr or COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Cowl of Common Council was held
at Guildhall, to teeeiie the Report of the Commit-
tee on Geceral Purposes, ott the *object of u Bill
now berme Parliament. touching the Orphans'
Fund.
Mr. Jule presented the Report of the Committee,
.staling, the the opinions of Coutisel had beeps
taken on the subject, awl that the result was, that
the balances could not be recovered ; et least with-
out considerable expense to the Corporation. It
hod beta his inteotion to move that Dome ulterior •
!proceeding should he founded on the Report, but
he was precluded from so doing by the Bill now
before Parliament. He should, therefore, pro-
pose that the Report of tie Conousittee be now
adopted be the Court.
Mr. Aldermen WaITHIM AN said, he rose to pet-
form a duly of very serious importuner. It was
quite true that he had been the per.on who first
celled the attention of the Court to the facts con-
toped in the Report. and by many he was come.
dered the sole instigator of these proceedings. In
consequence of his exertions he bad endured much
pain, and encountered much persecution. lie pur-
poorly abstained (rota attending the Committee,
cusseutims himself with bowleg lual the facts Before
them. It woe at all times a painful ditty to 'Ping
forward charges, insplicating the character of a Mem-
ber of the. same .body but when he himself had •
'been personally attacked after the proceedings
which had take') place. amid the Bill which had been
ioneduced to Parliament in so extraordroary a
manner, he felt it due to his own character and the
dignity of the Corporation of London, to come
fast:lid boldly and state his opioions, regardless of
may iniptilations which might bit coot epos, him.
worthy Alderman then entered at some length
into the proceedings which had taken place before
the House of Commons, which had been appointed
ou the motion of the Honourable Baironas hiemolf
(Sir William Curtis), whose character :WU ef-
fected by these clisirles. Is •AINM etalamittee

tub had been thrown to the whale. and all the
blouse of the transactions had been thrown alma the
*banisters of the. Chamberlain of London. The

miltrable, efficient, and trust-worthy officer of the
emolitments of his office, and to create a salary foe
another who had no duties to perform. Would the

.epees, without raising a voice in their defence. .It
was his intentiou to propose room Resolutions, mist
a Petition to Parliament founded thereon, which he
trusted would be adopted,—(For the Resolutions
see the Advertisement.]
Mr: Ountatt said, if the simple question before
the Court had been, whether or not they should
resent • Petitioli to Parliament againit the Bill
which enabled the Receiver to retain the funds in
his hands for three months. he abould support such
• proposition, but the observations of the Hon.
Alderman went to cast a ceoeure upon an Hon.
Baronet (Sir Wm. Curtis). For that lion, Baronet
personally lie had the moat unbounded respect, but
ilia public conduct he reprobated ; but at the
same time, in this instance. he could not think he
deserved censure, for althooglt there had been evi-
dently great irregularity in the keeping of the
Wooers in his hands, yet he rely followed the ex-
ample of his pretlecemors in olliee...He could not,
therefore, help thinking that there was more in the
tastier than met the public eye.--4 Cries of Order !)
—lt appeared to hillt that the receivership lied been
firm time to time a job, and that it was at all
limes unnecessary, and he should give los hearty
neicarrence to abolish the office altogether ; but
tins was evidently a persmod matter, and he regretted
eel much that it lord ever been introduced. lie
vt:is sorry that the Honourable Baronet had not
Filen up the office, and be well sure lie would have
lung since done so, but that he did not like to be
goaded to it.—(Laughter.)
FAIISLI. defended the conduct of his Hon.
Friend (Mr. Aldermen %whitlw). He {curse of
no oilier comae which be. could pursue than fairly
to make the staresneots on which the proceeding was
fouoded; and he thought the Conn would act with
pelfect consistency in opposing the 13111 now before
PlONment.
hlr. S. DIXON said he had no doubt that Sir
'William Curtis would resign the office, but that he
did plot wish to be driven out of it.
After some debate, a Petition to the House of
Commons was reed, approved, and ordered to be
unstilted by the Sheriffs, attended by the liement
