COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a court was held for the dispatch of busi-
ness.

NEW CATTLE MARKET.

The following report was read by Mr. WOODTHORPE
" We whose names are hereunto subscribed of your
Markets Improvement Committee, to whom, on the 28th
July last, it was referred to take steps for raising the
moneys for providing the New Cattle Market at Copen-
hagen Fields, do certify that, having entered into con-
tract for the execution of works to the extent of upwards
of 40,0001., we directed Mr. Chamberlain to make the
necessary inquiries for obtaining the loan of the sum of
50,0001. for a term of five or seven years ; and Mr.
Chamberlain has reported the inquiries made accordingly,
and has laid the replies of various public bodies and
others before us, from which it appears that the London
Life Assurance Company are willing to advance the said
sum of 50,0001. for a period of seven years, at the rate
of 4 per cent. per annum ; and the offer appearing to us
fair and reasonable, we instructed Mr. Chamberlain to,
close the agreement, and we directed Mr. Comptroller.,
to prepare the bonds securing repayment of theamoant,
and we recommend this City's seal to be affixed thereto.
" All which we submit to the judgment of this honour-
able court. •

NEW ORPHAN SCHOOL.
Mr. Deputy HALE brought up the committee's draft'
of general rules, and for the appointment of master,
matron, mistress, and servants of the establishment.
On the resolution being moved, " that the master
selected he a minister of the Church of England,"
Mr. GILPIN said he did not feel disposed to offer any-.
thing like a sectarian objection to the appointment, for,
with the example before him of the adraii able man who
was master of the City of London schools, he could not
doubt that it was perfectly possible—that it was highly
probable--that it was more than probable ; that the
most suitable person for master of a school similar to
that about to be formed, would prove to be a minister of
the Church of England. (Hear.) But he was most
anxious that the court should have the power in its own
hands, unfettered and untied, to chose whomsoever they
might consider the best m:in for the interests of the in-
stitution without reference to his religious opinions.
(Hear.) He considered that it was neither becoming
nor consistent that the court, which represented not the
Church of England exclusively, or one particular de-
nomination of dissenters, but which represented persons
of all creeds should tie themselves to the selection of a
person of a particular creed. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Low and Mr. B. PHILLIPS objected to the reso.
lution, on the grounds similar to those expressed by Mr.
Gilpin.The cFoou;t :Etat
