COMMON COUNCIL.

Mr. Alderman WOOD took the Chair iry the ab-
sence of the Lord Mayor, who is indisposed.
Mr. SCALES presented a petition from the
butchers transacting business in Smithfield-market,
playing for an enlargement and new disposition of
the market, and supported its prayer. He was in
favour of an alteration, but not of a removal of the
market; but he thought the Corporation ought to
make whatever alterations were necessary at their
own expense, and by no means place any additional
toll on for so doing.

After a few words from Mr. SAVAGE, and
Mr. BLACKETT, who thought that time should
be allowed to see the effect of the alteration lately
made in the market-day, the petition was ordered
to lie on the table.

were tinder the orders of the Marshals and the Mw
shals' men, who were appointed by that Court.
Mr. TAYLOR thought it was the duty of the Ai-
Mermen to complain to the Court if the Marshaug
and Marshals' men did not do their duty.
Mr. STEVFMS said, that in his ward there wag
very active Alderman, who made the day-police do
its duty.

After a few words from Mr. Alderman Vs'
SABLES, in explanation, the motion was agreed to.
The Court then proceeded to select the member°
for Committees for the current year. •

FATAL EFFECTS or PASSION.--Recently
woman in Northwich, displeased with a little girl, her
step-daughter, attempted te strike her with a brush whioll
she had in her hand, but instead of the meditated ble°
falling on the object of her vengeance, it alighted or°
the head of her own baby, which she carried on her aryl'
and that with such violence as to cause almost instal,'
taneous death.

We have the greatest pleasure in being
to state, that a letter has been received in Liverpool frous
Serampore, stating that Lord WILLIAM Buttrisrcr, the
Governor-General of India, has issued a proclamaticlf
abolishing the inhuman practice of burning Hindoo widoAs
which has so long prevailed in India, to the disgrace 0:
the East India Company and of the British name. 1:
will be seen that this proclamation has been issued s"
Briar's, and that it has been most favourably received" hi
the Brahmins, the only clue who were thought likely t°
make any opposition to it. We have been informed that
this step has been taken by Lord WILLIAM BENTINCIC ofl
his own authority and responsibility, bet there can
little doubt of his proclamation being confirmed by tll°
Court of Directors, as they will never venture to expose
themselves to infamy and contempt by counteracting ll°
just, so excellent, and so humane a measure. At prove",
we will only repeat, that it give' us pleasure to he able le
announce this long-delayed act of mercy and justice.
following is an extract sf the letter with which we logs
been farmed :—" SZAAMTOR7 Itfasrons.—Sutteigh or
the Burning of Widows in India.—By regent atemante As
are informed that this mission is extending as to its eta'
Lions, in more than one direction, while the prospects IS
those already established are encouraging, and in several
instances peculiarly so. The periodical aeeounti, just
coming out, will contain decisive proof of this ; but there
is one piece of intelligence which cannot fail to is-
terest the friends of humanity in this country. it mil
be known to some that the missionaries in India had aid'
dressed , Lord WILLIAM Banritscr, as Governor-General/
on the subject of the burning of widows, but it should
seem that some step has already been taken by Goveru-
ment. Benares, the holy city, as it is called, and one 01.,
the most ancient seats of Hindoo superstition, is one of
the Serampore stations ;
,and Mr. SMITH, the missionarf
there, on the 13th February last writes as follows:--'
Went out by the river side, and conversed with
number of Brahmins on religious subjects, and ilea
brought in the order respecting the prohibition of suttee,
on hearing which a Brahmin exclaimed, What ! hie
Gevernment now arisen from sleep ? So many years 13°'
this cruel practice been carried on, and has eompassioe
at last entered into their breasts ? They ought to hag°
prevented this horrid practice many years ago.' It AP
toniehed me (says Mr. SMITIe) to hear such expressions
from a Hindoo. An interesting statement is also gives
by him of this prohibitory order being read by the'Daroge
(superintendent) at Gopee-gunj, before more-Apo V°
Brahmins and Pundits : after which the whole listened te,
his preaching of the Gospel, and some individuals seine"
to be much affected by it. The English,' said theft
now wish to enlighten us.' "—Liverpool Albion.
