Domains are leased to nobles and proprietors of Polish birth.
"Several of these, Without considering the advantages
which attach to the possession of Government property, have
taken an active part in the insurrection, and apply the
greater part of their income which they derive from the pro-
perty leased to them to the support of the revolutionary
movement in the country.
" Considering that in order to restore peace and order it
is indispensaole to deprive the ill-disposed ot all means
which might enable them to continue their subversive acts,
I humbly request your Excellency to order all military chiefs

generally if their conduct is suspicious, and it they quit their
place of abode, the military chiefs, or sprawnik, upon re-
ceiving information, will proceed agains: the guilty parties,
according to paragraphs 9 and 13 of my instructions for the
organization of a civil and military administration. After

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council wee
be.d at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. 0,,
the motion of Mr. Truscott, Chairman of the Ciiy
Lands Committee. a conveyance was sealed to the
London and North-Western Railway Company, in
consideration of £25,400, of freehand premises
Broad, street-buildings, Rose and Crown Court, ano
Liverpool-street, under the powers and privileges
of the North London Railway (city branch) Act 0,
1861. On the motion of Mr. Lawley, it was re
solved, on the termination of the present year, to
transfer the management of the Metropolitan (little-
market from the Markets Improvement Committee
to the Markets Committee. Alderman W titerloe
presented a petition of Mr. Francis Giles, civil en-
gineer, for the assent of the corporation to a rail
way projected by him. Fur the purpose of relieving
the pressure and of presiding an expeditious means
of transit between the city and the west-end, he had
projected a railway from Waibrook behind the
Mansion-house to the Regent.circus, running uncle'
Newgate-market, across Farringdon-street, under
Chancery -lane, Lincolucine-fields. and Covent.
garden, and near Trafalgar-square, capable of ex-
tension towards the east to the Fenchurch-street
station of the Blackwell Railway, and towards the
west to the Marble Arch, He de-park. He proposes
co construct the railway with four lines, in order to
insure ample capacity, and the power so to divide the
trains as to combine safety with the despatch ot eight
or ten trains each way every hour of the working
day. He had so arranged the levels of the proposed
railway as to avoid all the new main sewers, to deal
with other sewers without injury to the drainage,
and to render it unnecessary to alter the level of
any street except Farringdon-street. The terminal
stations of the proposed railway at Waibrook and
at the Circus, Oxford-street, and the intermediate
stations at Chancery-lane and at a point near Tre-
talgar-square for Piccadilly and Charing-cross,
would be in open cuttings, at depths averaging 25
feet from the surface. Alderman Waterlow moved
that the memorial be referred to the Improvements
Committee for consideration and report, witu at;
instruction to confer with the Commissioners of
Sewers on the suhject. The motion was agreed to.
On the motion of Deputy Scared], Mr. .1. E.
Saunders was elected to represent the Common
Council at the Metropolitan Board of Works, ie
the place of Deputy Harrison, resigned. A report
was presented from the Library Committee stating
that the consistory of the ancient Dutch Church in
Austinfriars, through Mr. Vining, had offered to
present the library attached to the church, and con
slating of about 2,000 volumes, many of them of
the rarest description, and of great interest, to the
corporation on certain conditions. The Court, on
the recommendation of the committee, accepted the
offer, and, on the motion of Mr. Cnarles Reed,
passed an unanimous resolution recording their
grateful tense of the munificent gift. Deputy Lott
availed himself of the opportunity to appeal to the
Court to exercise any influence they might poesees
to prevent, if possi.ble, the demolition of the ancient
nave of the church in Austinftiars, one of the most
Interesting specimens of ecclesiastical architecture
in the city of London. Oa the motion of. Mr.
Rowe, chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance
Committee, a grant of £lO5 was made to the
Asylum for Fatherless Children at Reedham, near
Croydon ; one of £:100 to the City of London Truss
Society ; and another of £5O to the Piumtree-court
