COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of bus
ness.

UNION OF OFFICES.
The following are extracts from the report brought up
by Mr. Perkins, the chairman of the officers and clerks
committee, on the subject of uniting the office of Comp-
troller of the Chamber with some other office in the ap-
pointment of the Court :

" We directed that a return be made to us of the present
duties of the office of Comptroller of the Chamber, the
sources and amount of the emoluments, and the particu-
lars of the expenses of the office for each year since the last
report in 1845 ; and we also required a similar return with
respect to the office of Clerk Comptroller of the Bridge-
house for th 3 last five years, which returns have been laid
before us. That we carefuny considered the said returns,
and examined Mr. .B. Richardson, of the Comptroller's-
office, on the duties and emoluments of the late Comp-
troller of the Chamber, and we are of opinion that the se-
veral duties set out in the return should continue to be per-
formed in the office of Comptroller of the Chamber, -That
we also equested the attendance of Mr. Brand, the clerk
comptroller of the Bridge-house, and heard and examined
him upon the duties of his office ; and it appearing to us
that the duties and responsibilities of the offices of Comp-
troller of the Chamber and Clerk Comptroller of the Bridge-
house were so similar in their character that they could be
undertaken and discharged by the same party, we arrived
at the unanimous opinion that it is expedient that the
office of Clerk Comptroller of the Bridge-house should be
united with that of Comptroller of the Chamber, and we
recommend this person to this Court. And we also recom-
mend that this Court should allow the officer who is here-
after to hold the united offices an income of 1,50L1. a-year,
the same to be clear of all expanses of his offices and to in-
clude all emoluments whatsoever, kc."
The report, which is to be taken into consideration on
the next Court day, will, it is believed be adopted as an
evidence of the advance of reform in the high offices of
the corporation.

ADDRESS TO THE KING OP PORTUGAL.
Mr. ANDERTON rose to move, " That a congratulatory
address be presented to his Majesty the King of Portu-
gal and his august brother the Duke of Oporto, upon
their auspicious visit to this country as the honoured
guests of our gracious Sovereign the Queen." The mover
shunned all allusion to political matters in introducing
the subject, and hoped that the court would come to an
unanimous resolution upon the the subject.
Deputy Hour seconded the motion.
A discussion, in which nearly three hours were wasted
to the neglect of a good deal of important business, took
place within closed dours.
' We were given to understand that the motion of Mr.
Anderton was carried by a very large majority.
The Court adjourned the moment the doors were re-
opened.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

IN RE moss.
This bankrupt had carried on business as a tea and
colonial broker in Little Tower-street, and to-day came
up for his certificate.
The balance sheet extends only over ten months. The
solicitor to the assignees opposed on the ground of ex-
cessive expenditure, the profits having been 1211., and
the domestic and personal expences 300/. ; travelling
expenses, 801.; assets, nil. It was contended that the
bankrupt ought to have come before the court before he
became so involved, as he now owed 500/.
His Honour said that the bankrupt could not have
come before the Court on his own motion, as the law
required that in such cases the petitioner should swear
he was possessed of sufficient to pay a dividend of ss. in
the pound. A man's hands were therefore tied in that
respect, and he was deprived of the power of doing jus-
tice to his creditors to the extent of his means when he
found himself going down.
Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, said, one-third of the
personal expenses had been incurred for medical attend-
ance, and the travelling expenses had been in 'the trade.
The bankrupt had previously carried on a profitable
business.
His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the
third class.

LOSS OF A TROOP SHIP BY FIRE.

The Arno, arrived at Liverpool, is reported to have
spoke her Majesty's ship Tribune at sea, and learned
from her the loss of Mr. Somes's ship the Europa, bound
for Constantinople, on board of which were embarked
the first division of the Enniskillen Dragoons. According
to the account that has reached us the ship was discovered
to be on fire on the night after she sailed from Plymouth.
It was found impossible to arrest the progress of the
flames ; the lives of the crew and passengers it is hoped
were saved by the Tribune, but all the horses are said to
have perished. This casualty, following so quickly
upon the fire which had nearly destroyed a transport
steamer, on board of which gunpowder had been em-
barked (which is also said to have been the case with the
Europa)_along with troops, calls for the most rigorous
investigation. It is indeed unaccountable that the
casualties at sea suffered by the British since the com-
mencement of warlike movements have so far exceeded
those of our allies. There must be mismanagement
somewhere. It is intolerable that when so many mil-
lions have been spent to create a fleet of (nominally)
more than 500 vessels, not one half of them should be
available even as transport-ships. With some three
hundred vessels of the royal navy lying idly at anchor or
in dock, the country has been called upon to pay some
two millions for transports ; and these chartered private
vessels are so difficult to come by that those which offer
are accepted apparently with little scrutiny, and fitted
out, it would seem, too hastily to be safe. Searching
inquu-y is requisite.—Daily News.

ris DAY.)

CORN E.X.,JriA.N GE.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-clay, coastwise and by land carriage, was limited
• -hence, the show of samples was small. For most kinds
we had only a moderate inquiry. In prices scarcely any
change took place.
For red Baltic wheats we had a fair inquiry, at full quo-
tations ; all other kinds moved off slowly, on former terms.
Very few floating cargoes were reported.
Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, ruled
inactive, at late rates. Malt was dull, but not cheaper.
There was a moderate supply of oats on the market, for
which the inquiry was steady, at late rates.
In beans and peas scarcely any business was doing, on
former terms.
The flour trade was tolerably firm, but no advance took
place in the quotations.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
beasts, both as to number and quality. All breeds met a
very dull sale, at a decline in Monday's prices of quite 2d
per Sibs. Sheep, the number of which was seasonably
good, moved off heavily, and the quotations gave way 2d
per Blbs. We had a very dull inquiry for lambs, at a fall
of 2d per Blbs, and a clearance was not effected. The supply
of calves being large, the veal trade was heavy, at 2d per
81bs less money. Pigs were dull, and lower to purchase.
Milch cows sold slowly, at from 14/. to 191. 5s each, in-

SPAIN.

There is nothing of political interest in the Mad-
rid journals of the 10th. Heavy rains had fallen
and the weather had become hot.
A letter from a ministerial source says :—" Calm
continues, and the ministry is tranquilly pursuing
its course without noticing the rumours that aro
spread. In a few days the Court is to leave for
La Granja, and this year all the ministers will take
up their residence in that place as long as their
Majesties remain there. The Marquis de Turgot
is to leave to-morrow for France to take the mine-
ral waters of Das. The news from the provinces
is very satisfactory. Everywhere the most com-
plete tranquillity prevails."

ITALY.
The Ticino Gazette of the 9th publishes a tele-
graphic despatch announcing that the orders for
raising the blockade have arrived at Milan.

have perished. This casualty, following so quickly
upon the fire which had nearly destroyed a transport
steamer, on board of which gunpowder had been em-
barked (which is also said to have been the case with the
Europa) along with troops, calls for the most rigorous
investigation. It is indeed unaccountable that the
casualties at sea suffered by the British since the com-
mencement of warlike movements have so far exceeded
those of our allies. There must be mismanagement
somewhere. It is intolerable that when so many mil-
lions have been spent to create a fleet of (nominally)
more than 500 vessels, not one half of them should be
available even as transport-ships. With some three
hundred vessels of the royal navy lying idly at anchor or
in dock, the country has been called upon to pay some
two millions for transports ; and these chartered private
vessels are so difficult to come by that those which offer
are accepted apparently with little scrutiny, and fitted
out, it would seem, too hastily to be safe. Searching
inquiry is requisite.—Daily News.

ALBANIA.

PREVESA, June 10.—The Derbend Aga, at Arta,
has been arrested, and a commissary has gone to
arrest some Albanian chieftains at Paramythia,
who had ill-treated the Christians.

CONCENTRATION OF RUSSIAN FORCES-
EXPEDITION AGAINST THE CRIMEA

APPREHENDED.

The Transylvanian, Messenger states from Cron-
stadt, near Moldavia, that the Russian officers
commanding the detachments stationed along the
frontiers of that province have received orders to
transmit to head-quarters all the information they
can glean respecting the movements' of the Aus-
trian troops. The posts of Cossacks have been
withdrawn from the frontier, and concentrated at
Roman. Various rumours are in circulation at
Jassy as to the motive of the concentration of Rus-
sian troops in Moldavid. Many persons look upon
it as a preliminary step to the evacuation of ,the
principalities ; the Russians, it is said, are to retire
into Bessarabia, in order to march upon the Crimea
which is considered likely to become the theatre of
offensive operations on the part of the Anglo-
French forces.

The Lloyd of Vienna, under date of Vienna,
14th, says :—" The Russians have rendered the
Strait of Kercht, close to- Odessa, inaccessible to
ships of war, by sinking 32-large barges laden with
stones. There will be exchange of Russian and
English prisoners, as notice has been received from
St. Petersburg that the Government consents to it."
A letter from Schumla states that the auxiliary
troops, in concert with the fleet, and under the
personal command of Marshal Saint Arnaud, are
certainly to undertake an expedition against the
Crimea. 200 transports are being prepared in con-
sequence at, Varna and at Baltschuk.
London, England, 1854-06-29

PERSIA.

The Lloyd of Vienna says :—" Tho armament of
the Persians continues; 10,000 regular and 20,000
irregular troops are to be assembled on the Aran
which forms the boundary between Persia and
Russia. The attitude assumed by Persia towards
Russia becomes every day more and more threaten-
ing. Letters from Teheran state that Persia de-
mands the restitution of the provinces of Nakitchavan
and Erivan which were ceded to Russia by old
treaties."
London, England, 1854-06-29

NORFOLK.

The adjourned special meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the office, Guildhall-buildings, to con-
sider a bill now before Parliament, in compliance with
the standing orders of the House of Lords—Major Tyn-
dall in the chair.

The Solicitor read the heads of " a bill for authorising
arrangements between the Eastern Counties Railway
Company and all or any of the Norfolk, the Eastern
Union, the East Anglian, and the Newmarket Railway
Companies, for the Amalgamation of their respective
undertakings, and for other purposes." •
In reply to questions, it was stated that the terms
upon which the amalgamation was to take place had
been agreed to by the three companies under seal, and
were confirmed by resolutions passed at meetings of the
shareholders.

A resolution approving the bill was carried, and the
meeting separated.

GREECE.

ATHENS, June 25.—The Turkish troops are
marching on Tricasta.
The Divan has consented to open Turkish ports
to the Greek flag.
Private letters from Athens, of the 7th, mention
that the agents of Russia are leaving nothing un-
done to recover the ground they have lost there.
As a last resource they are endeavouring to excite
suspicion and mistrust among the Hellenic army as
to the real object of the allied Governments iu oc-
cupying the Piraeus. Matters reached such a point
that the Minister-at-War has thought it necessary
to issue a circular to the officers of thc, army on the
subject. The circular is as follows :

"To THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES.
"The enemies of public order, the instruments of in-
terests opposed to those of the Hellenic nation, dare
to assert that the allied army which has landed in
the Pirmus has views hostile to you. You are bound to
contradict those malignant statements, and to explain
clearly to the sub-officers, and through them to the
private soldiers, that England and France, who
have bestowed on Greece. so many benefits, and
who have not, for a single instant, ceased to protect
her, have, by sending the allied army, no other ob-
ject in view than to preserve our country from the
fatal consequence of a policy which has been con-
demned by all Europe, Regarded thus in an Euro-
pean point of view, the presence of the allied army, far
from meditating any attack on our independence, will,
on the contrary, guarantee, in the midst of the war of
the East, the Hellenic kingdcm against any attack from
without. Were it otherwise, a principle of honour would
have prevented me from associating myself with the
Government. One of the most important objects of
the policy of the Ministry to which I have the honour
to belong is to win for Greece the sympathies and esteem
of all the great Powers of Europe. such policy is the
only means of ameliorating the present, and of preparing
for the future. Whoever does not act on the same
principle is an enemy of his country.
