COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday the first Court of Common Council since the
election in the various wardmotes on St. Thomas's-day
was held at Guildhall—the Lord Mayor in the chair.

SWORN BROKERS.

The Town-Clerk read a report transmitted from the
Court of Aldermen, in which they stated that they had
considered the whole subject of the grievances under which
the sworn brokers represented that they were labouring,
and that they had resolved to request the Lord Mayor to
inform the Court of Common Council of the results at which
they had arrived. These results were that, in addition to
the £5 rent which these brokers were liable to pay under
the Act of Parliament, they were also subjected to the pay-
ment of certain fees, which necessitated an outlay of up-
wards of £l3 upon the part of all persons who were desi-
rous of becoming sworn brokers. The Court of Aldermen
recommended that these fees be abolished, and that in
future no fees be payable except ss. on being admitted, ss.
for stati.ps, and the £5 rent.
Mr. SMELLING asked whether this recommendation applied
to all the brokers—colonial and ships brokers and others.
Tho LORD MAYOR replied in the affirmative.
The communication was unanimously ordered to be en-
tered on the Journals of the Court.

THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY COMPANY.

The Town-clerk read a letter from this company, in which
they stated that they had purchased all the property lying
between Snow-hill and West-street, and were about to com-
mence operations there with the view of extending their
city progress, and completing their last section in the direc-
tion of Smithfield-market. They now sought for the ne-
cessary authority from the corporation to go on with the
remainder of the work.

The letter was referred to the Markets and Improvement
Committees.

THE CITY RAILWAY SCHEMES.

Mr. CORRIE, the City Remembrancer, read a list of the
various railway schemes which would be submitted during
the approaching Session of Parliament, and which would
more or less affect the streets and house pr9perty of the city.
Mr. Deputy LOTT moved that this list be referred to the
Law and Parliamentary Committee, with a request that
they would particularly direct their attention to those of
the schemes which would materially affect the city. He
had reason to believe, from having served upon a similar
committee, that some of them would interfere with no fewer
than 150 of the city streets.
The motion was carried, but the reference was made not
only to the Law and Parliamentary Committee, but to a
variety of other committees.
