ILNA, July .
General Mouravieff has addressed the following
circular to the chiefs of the governments of Wilma,
Kowno, Grodnu, Minsk, Wizebsk, and Mohilew :
" July 13.
"The majority of the farms belongingWlLNA, to the Treasury
which are under the direction of the Department of State
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 indispensable to deprive the ill-disposed of all means
which might enable them to continue their subversive acts,
I humbly request your Excellency to order all military chiefs
and sprawnik of districts confided to your administrations
to keep a strict watch on all managers of Treasury farms.
" In case any of the managers, farmers, or administrators
should take part in the insurrection by furnishing arms,
money, or supplies to the insurgent bands, by hiding insur-
gents from the local authorities and military detachments,
or by concealing their place of retreat, or should any or
them take a personal part by exciting the peasants, making
enrolments, or propagating revolutionary proclamations,and
generally if their conduct is suspicious, and if they quit their
place of abode, the military chiefs, or sprawnik, upon re-
ceiving information, will. proceed against the guilty parties,
according to paragraphs 9 and 13 of my instructions for the
organization of a civil and military administration. After
having removed them from their place of abode, the mili-
tary chiefs and spratoniks are obliged, according to para-
graphs 14 and 19 of the same instructions, to take imme-
diate possession of all produce and other property belonging
to the managers, to sell it, and depoAt the proceeds in the
Treasury ot the place.
" The authorities will, moreover, give notice to the State
Domain Department, in order that the latter may resume
possession of the farms, and intrust them to more trust-
worthy managers.

" In urging your Excellency to see to the striot execu-
tion of this decision, I request you at the same time to
communicate it to the State Domain Department, in order
that it may execute that part which comes within its
province.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was
he.d at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. On
the motion of Mr. Truscott, Chairman of the City
Lands Committee, a conveyance was sealed to the
London and North-Western Railway Company, in
consideration of £25,400, of freehold premises in
Broatistreet-buildings, Rose and Crown Court, ana
Liverpool-street, under the powers and privileges
of the North London Railway (city branch) Act or
1861. On the motion of Mr. Lawley, it was re-
solved, on tae termination of the present year, to
transfer the management of the Metropolitan Cattle-
market from the Markets Improvement Committee
to the Markets Committee. Alderman Waterlow
presented a petition of Mr. Francis Giles, civil en-
gineer, for the assent of the corporation to a rail-
way projected by him. For the purpose of relieving
the pressure and of providing an expeditious means
of transit between the city and the west-end, he had
projected a railway from Walbrook behind the
Mansion-house to the Regent-circus, running under
Newgate-market, across Farringdon-street, under
Chancery-lane, Lincoln'-inn-fields, and Covent.
garden, and near Trafalgar-square, capable of ex-
tension towards the east to the Fencourch-street
station of the Blackwall Railway, and towards the
west to the Marble Arch, Hyde-park. He proposes
w 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 of 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 Walbrook and
at the Circus, Oxford-street, and the intermediate
stations at Chancery-lane and at a point near Tra-
falgar-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
Con-mittee for consideration and report, wits
instruction to confer with the Commissioners of
Sewers on the subject. The motion was agreed to.
On the motion of Deputy Scamell, Mr. J. E.
Saunders was elected to represent the Common
Council at the Metropolitan Board of Works, in
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-
sisting 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. Charles Reed,
passed an unanimous resolution recording their
grateful sense, of the munificent gift. Deputy Lott
availed himself of the opportunity to appeal to the
Court to exercise any influence they might possess
to prevent, if posale, the demolition of the ancient
nave of the church in Austinfriars, one of the most
interesting specimens of ecclesiastical architecture
in the city of London. On 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, neat
Croydon ; one of £lOO to the City of London Truss
Society ; and another of £5O to the Plumtree-court
Ragged Schools, Shoe-lane.
