A Court of Col-ninon Council was held yester..
day, specially for the purpose of considering the Metropo-
litan Police Bill. The Lord Mayor took the chair at
eleven o'clock. A petition from the inhabitants of the
ward of Castle Pavnard, praying the Court to adopt all
possible means in their power to prevent the Bill passing
into a law, as it stands, was presented to the Court by Mr.
Deputy Flicks. Mr. Alderman Venables then brought up
the Watch Committee Report, recommending the Court
to make a most strenuous opposition to the measure, and to
request an immediate conference with Lord John Russell,
and urge his Lordship to exempt the City from the provi
sions of the Bill. The report was unanimously agreed t.l,
' and the Court appointed a deputation to wait upon his
Lordship accordingly. The Committee were instructed
to prepare a petition to Parliament against the Bill, and
the Court requested the City Members and such of the
Court as had seats in Parliament, strongly to oppose tho
Bill in ever) stage. Various resolutions were also adopted
by the Court upon the subject, which were ordered to be
advertised. The Court sat in deliberation upon this highly
important question nearly five hours.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury give
a sumptuous entertainment to their Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on Friday, the 15th
instant.

The petition against the return of Mr. Bruen,
IrCarl.ow, has been forwarded to London for presentation.

We arc sorry to state that her Royal Highness
the Princess Augusta was not considered so well on Monday
:is she was the preceding week. Her Royal Highness is
euffering fcom an attack of gout, to which she is occa
pionally subject. The Marchioness Cornwallis and Lady
Langliem an, unremitting in their attentions to the illus-
trious invalid.
