COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A special Court of Common Council was convened yester-
day at Guildhall, Alderman Sir John Musgrove presiding as
locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of receiving
a report from the Remembrancer, to the effect that the
Holborn Valley Improvement Act had passed and received
the Royal assent on the 23d of June.

Upon the motion of Mr Deputy FRY, it was referred to
the Improvement Committee to carry the act into execution,
and to confer from time to time with the Corn, Coal, and
Finance Committee as to how the funds shall be raised for
the purpose.

Mr FATMER, asked Mr Fry, the chairman of the commit-
tee, whether the bill reported by the Remembrancer was in
confirmation of the plan approved by the Court, and if any
new provisions had been introduced of which the Court was
not aware.

Mr Deputy FRY said he was not aware that anything had
been introduced contrary to the views of the Court.

MEETINQ OF THE IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE AFTER THE

COURT.

Immediately after the members of the Court of Common
Council had decided to place the Holborn Valley Improve-
ment Act in the hands of the Improvement Committee to
carry into execution, Thomas Henry Fry, Esq., with the
chairman of the City Lands, the chairman of the Bridge-
house Estates ; P. Woodthorpe, Esq,, Town Clerk ; W.
Corrie, Esq., Remembrancer ; F. Brand, Esq., Comptroller;
T. J. Nelson, Esq., City Solicitor; Horace Jones, Esq., the

y Architect; and 27 of the members of the Improvement
Committee, proceeded to the committee-room No. 1 in order
to commence their labours.

The CHAIRMAN (T. H. Fry, Esq.), having briefly ad-
dressed the members of the committee present, laid upon
the table the Act of Parliament for the improvement of
Holborn-valley, handed to bim for the purpose of his laying
it before them as soon as possible. He was sure that they
would agree with him that not a moment's delay should
arise in their taking action with reference to the important
matter entrusted to them to carry out under the special
legislation of Parliament, and sanctioned by the signature
of her Majesty the Queen for such an important public
improvement.

The bill having been shortly read by the Town Clet k, it
was unanimously decided that the whole of the officers then
present belonging to the Corporation, and any others who
might be absent, should receive immediate instructions to
commence, without the delay of a single hour, issuing the
notices and otherwise enforcing the terms of the act, so that
not an instant should be lost in carrying it into execution.

Unparalleled Popularity.—The wonderful cures effected by
these unequalled remedies in all parts of the world have
won for them their present favour. Both pills and oint-
ment are composed of ingredients which purity at the same
time that they strengthen. No one can deny that
health depends upon pure blood and the natural action
of the animal organs. Both objects are effected without
risk or danger by Holloway's medicaments, which are as
innocent as they are potent. Internal disorders and ex-
ternal blemishes succumb to their power. Theseremedies,
so applicable for the relief of the commonest complaints,
are no less adequate to deal safely with the most for-
midable and daugercua diseases which can afflict mankind. ,
