LICENSING IN THE CITY.— Yesterday being the
day appointed for ranting Licenses in the City, the Lord
Mayor and several of the Aldermen met at Guildhall, and
granted licenses in all the unopposed cases. The opposed
cases are to be heard on Saturday week. There are some re-
markable circumstances attending one case which is to be op-
posed. A man, named Davis, formerly had a public-house in
the immediate vicinity of Smithfield, where he contrived by in-
dustrious andeconomical habits to bring up a very large family.
Unfortunately, the house was burnt down. Within a veryfew
yards of the site of bis former house, which was called the
Plough, he managed to fit up a honk, with the assistance of
some friends, at a considerable expense, convinced that, after
so severe a calamity,
the City of London Magistrates would,
without hesitation, give him a license. lie calculated, however,
erroneously. Three or four several times he applied in vain,
although upon one occasion the majority were in his favour.
At the moment lie thought that his success was certain, one of
the Aldermen made his exit without being seen to, depart, and
this application fell to the ground for want of the necessary
forms. What is most remarkable in the difficulty which this
poor man had to encounter is, that in this very Court, in which
the City Magistrates assemble to do th 6 business of the Cor-
poration, the refusal of the Surrey Magistrates to grant a
license to Mr. Wallis, of the Borough, who lost his house by a
similar misfortune, underwent, some time ago, a discussion,
which was looked upon as a guarantee against the sanction of
any rejection of the kind by the Aldermen. It is extraordinary,
too ,that the Deputy of the Ward in which the house is situ-
ated, readily admitted that the applicant's character and conduct
are unimpeachable, and that the inhabitants join in warmly
recommending the petitioner. Due attention shall be paid to
the matter,

It will be seen that the shares in most of the rail-
ways have been falling still more rapidly than they rose in the
sluing of last year, and that the decline is not confined to bub-
bles and &dad schemes, but extends to some of the hest
devised and most skilfully executed undertakings in the king-
dom. Persons who have gone into them as :mere speculators,
and who cannot afford to bold, will be severely bitten; but
with regard to those who bought shares as an investment, and
always intended to bold, the decline is of no great conse-
quence ; for though the nominal value of their property is de-
creased, its real and permanent value is not changed. It will.
be remembered that the shares of the Liverpool and Manches-
ter Railway fell during the progress of the works; but they
soon rose :wain, and are now more valuable than ever. So it
will be with all well-planned and welt-executed schemes when
the present panic is over. They are paying the penalty of
keeping bad company cluing the time cf speculation,
