BROKERS' RENTS,

Deputy JONES brought up a report from the Law and
Parliamentary Committee, with the draft of a petition to the
House .f Commons, against a bill now before it, called The
Brokers' Bonds and Rents Bill. He said that the object of
this bill was to take out of the power of the Corporation the
appointment of persons to act as brokers in the city of
London, and also enable them to act without giving bonds
or securities of any description ; and the Corporation of
London would not only be deprived by it of revenue to the
amount of £4,000 or £5,000 a year, but they would at the
same time be, also deprived of all control over the persons
who acted as brokers within the city of London.
The report and petition were unanimously agreed to.

PAROCHIAL INHUMANITY.--A poor man about 45 years

cal disability which prevented his following
his employment,

behalf under the following circumstances :
Applicant said that he had been for some time an inmate
of St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea, and had come to this
court last Tuesday to complain of the officials at the work-
house having intercepted some letters which had been
sent to him there. After he had spoken to the magistrate
on this subject he went back to tke workhouse, but had been
turned out and left to starve. 'When he returned to the
workhouse on Tuesday night they gave him a letter which
had been sent to him, and wanted him to open it in their
presence and let them read it.
Mr Arnold—How did you leave the workhouse?

Mr. Arnold—When was that ?

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL,

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday at
Guildhall. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided,

THE CONDEMNED PIRATES.

Mr. EL/AS DAVIS said that in reference to the approach-
ing execution of seven men for the crime of murder, it was
needless for him to dilate upon the painful character of
such an exhibition taking place in the heart of the city of
London ; he wished to be informed by the Lord Mayor or
the Sheriffs whether there was any chance of such a dread,
fill spectacle being averted. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. Sheriff NISSEN said that he had no further informa-
tion to give than that which had already been made public.
which was that a communication had been made to the
Home Secretary upon the subject, but no answer had yet
been received to that communication.

Deputy ELLIOTT said he should like to ask another ques-
tion, which was, whether it was more disgraceful and in-
human to execute seven murderers at once than a single
murderer? (Cries of " Oh, oh," and " Hear.")
The subject then dropped,
THE CITY ARCHITECT.

Deputy LONG asked the Lord Mayor whether he pro-
posed to fix a day for the election of the City architect. He
suggested that it should be as earls as possible, as the busi-
ness of the Corporation was likely to suffer from delay.
The LORD MAYOR said that he would appoint as
,early
a day as possible for the election.

DISTRESSING CASE.-FITNERAL BAILED MEAT SERVED
FOR
leo WEDDlNGPitchford, a much
neglected boy, a littleTiNN aboveßs 1 George
before Mr. Partridge, on remand, charged with stealing a
neg E-1 yars of age, was brought
quantity of rope from a ship building yard in Poplar.
The boy was caught in fiagrante delicti by a gate-
keeper
named Charles Bridges, who saw him steal a ship's
and was stopped and given into the Custody of a police-ser-
hind-fast. The boy was taking the rope
police-ser-
geant named Hatton, No. 26 K. The boy out of the yard
stated that his
father and stepmother were comfortably housed, and
had treated him with great tyranny. He was
compelled to toallobw ecome a thief, because his father
him
necessary shelter and food.
Hatton said he had aseertained that the boy's state-
ment was too true. The boy's mother died five weeks before
Christmas, and a few days afterwards the boy's father mar-
ried a Jewess. The loss of the boy's mother was a sad blow
to him, and he had been very badly treated ever since. The
boy's father was a lockman in the service of the East and
West India Dock Company, and in the receipt of 27s 6d per
week. The boy's father and stepmother lived in one of the
West India Dock Cottages, and during tho late severe
weather the boy was not allowed to enter the cottage, and
was obliged
several to night. This was re-
peated
The stepmother, an elderly woman with a long nose, said
nights.
The in
the yard all
tho prisoner was a very bad boy, and had stolen 4s. from
her.

Thefather gave him a very bad character.
Mr.
Partridgeofe boy also
observedthat the father and step-mother
appeared very anxious to get rid of the lad, whom they were
bound to foster and protect. He asked if there were any
other children ?

Elatton replied only one, a married woman, who was no
burthen to her father.

Mr. Partrige said there Was no doubt of the neglected
state of the boy, and he thought the father was to blame.
He should send the boy to the House of Correction for 14
days, and afterwards to the Home in the East Reformatory
for free years, and the father would be compelled tosupport
his son in the reformatory—to pay the full expenses of his
maintenance,

BROKERS' RENTS.

Deputy JONES brought up a report from the Law and
Parliamentary Committee, with the draft of a petition to the
House of Commons, against a bill now before it, called The
Brokers' Bonds and Rents Bill. He said that the object of
this bill was to take out of the power of the Corporation the
appointment of persons to act as brokers in the city of
London, and also enable them to act without giving bonds
or securities of any description ; and the Corporation of
London would not only be deprived by it of revenue to the
amount of £4,000 or £5,000 a year, but they would at the
same time be also deprived of all control over the persons
who acted as brokers within the city of London.
The report and petition were unanimously agreed to.

NEW YORK, JAN. 30, 4 p.m.
(By telegraph to Portland.)
General Foster reports from Knoxville, on
the 28th instant, that the Federal cavalry
achieved a decided victory the previous
day over the enemy's cavalry ten miles
east of Seirervalle. Mattock's division drove
the enemy two miles, after a stubborn fight,
lasting from daylight till four p.m., when they
routed the enemy from the field, "capturing 2 guns
and a hundred prisoners." " The enemy's loss was
considerable." Jarrad's and Walford's division came
up in time to be pushed in pursuit with Strong's
and Hope's to make the rout complete.
It is reported from Cincinatti that the Federals
under Palmer made a reconnaissance on the 28th to
within five miles north of Tunnel Hill, Georgia,
driving in the Confederate pickets, and capturing
one company of Confederate cavalry. One
Confederate division remained above Tunnel Hill.
The remainder of the Confederates had disappeared,
and were supposed to have gone to Mobile.
The Confederates have captured Scottsville, Ken-
tucky, with a Federal garrison stationed there.
New Orleans advices state that the Mississippi
was blockaded for several days at Greenville by
Confederate batteries on each side of the river.
They were not dispersed till land forces were sent
against them.

THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL,

Dr. Mortimer was re-elected to the office of head master
of the City of London School, and at the same time Alder-
man Hale brought up a most satisfactory report of the
committee of management of that school upon the system
of education adopted there. Instances were adduced in the
report in which several of the pupils had taken high
honours at the London University, and also at Cam-
bridge; and particular allusion was made to the case of
Henry John Purkis, who had been entirely educated in the
school, and who had not only taken high honours there
and at the London University, but who had since also
taken those of senior wrangler and Smith's prizeman, at
Cambridge.
The report was agreed to, and ordered to be printed and
circulated among the rambets of the Court.

POLICY IN THE EAST.

Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on the motion for
going into committee of supply he would move that the
policy In the East, introduced 30 years ago by the First
Lord of the Treasury, and acted on by every successive
Whig Government, had led to the events at Kagosima
and Soochow, and was adopted with a view to extend our
commerce, and that taxation of the ratepayers of England
and Ireland who were not interested in the extension of
such commerce was unjust.

IRISH COUNTY COURTS.

Mr. O'HAGAN moved for leave to bring in a bill to
amend the procedure of the County Courts in Ireland. The
chief object of the measure, he said, was to correct the evils
attending the execution of the process of those courts,
which had been productive of great extortion, oppression,
and public inconvenience—by confiding to the sub-sheriff
the execution of the decrees, under effectual responsibility.
Mr. GEORGE made a few remarks upon the proposed.
alteration, and leave was then given to bring in the bill.
