TILE CITY CORPORATION COMMISSION.

SHARE MARKETS-(THIS .DAY).

Sir George Carroll entered the Guildhall Police-court
yesterday morning, and addressing Mr. Alderman Law-
rence, the presiding magistrate, observed that he had
only a short time previous had his attention drawn to
the Times newspaper of Saturday last, in which appeared
a paragraph in the evidence of Mr. Acland, before the
City Commission to the following effect " The Chair-
man—ls there any other point to which you wished
to draw the attention of the commission ? With refer-
ence to the elections at Common Hall, I have stated
that in 1846 there was a severe contest for the
office of Lord Mayor, the candidates being Alderman
Carroll and Alderman Thomas Wood. On that occasion
there was a great deal of bribery, the greater portion of
it being on the side of Alderman Wood ; and I hold in
my hand a list of the persons who received bribes on
that occasion in that interest." Sir George Carroll
remarked that all ha had to say in reference to that para-
graph was, that, as far as he was concerned, there was
not one word of truth in what Mr. Acland had stated,
and that not a single sixpence was expended on his part
to influence the election in any way whatever. Alderman
Lawrence said all that was nothing to what he had been
charged with by Mr. Acland in his evidence before the
commission. He (Alderman Lawrence) had been ac-
cus.ed of expending-, in conjunction with Alderman
Hughes Hughes, 6,0001. at the election when he became
alderman, whereas, in the first place, he was in no way
connected with Alderman Hughes Hughes at that time,
and although there was an election when he was chosen,
there was no opposition, and therefore no poll, and so
far from spending 6,0001., the election cost him nothing,
and he did not even spend as much as would purchase
a glass of beer on the occasion. Sir George Carroll said
every one who knew Mr. Alderman Lawrence was per-
fectly aware that he was not such a blockhead as to
spend 6,0001. for such a purpose. But it appeared to
him that Mr. Acland had gone to such great lengths in
the extraordinary statements he had made, that it was
not until he was met face to face with a flat contradic-
tion that the untruthfulness of a great part of his evi-
dence became manifest.

MORE THAN STRANGE, IF TRUE.-A rumour is cur-
rent in Shields—and there seems some foundation for it
in fact—to this effect :—a foreign seaman was taken ill
of diarrhoea on board of a ship in the Tyne, and to all
appearance died. Before he was taken ill he had sent
his shoes on shore to be repaired, and the cobbler,
having received no information of the man's demise,
after finishing them took them on board of the ship,
when he was informed that his customer was dead. He
went down below, and found the body in a coffin. He
looked at it and found the forehead was warm, and the
purse still slightly throbbing. He gave the alarm, and
the man was uncoffined. This was at 2in the after-
noon, and it is stated he did not die until 11.—Sunder-
land News.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1853.

TESTIMONIAL TO PRINCE ALBERT.

A public meeting was held yesterday at the Mansion-
house, for the purpose of promoting the proposed memo-
rial of the Great Exhibition of 1851, in connection with
a testimonial of esteem to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided on
the occasion.

Among those present we noticed the Bishop of Ox-
ford, Alderman and Sheriff Wire, Sir George Carroll,
Capt. Sheppard, Mr. S. Morley, Rev. J. Booth, F.R.S.,
Sir John Forbes, Mr. Herbert Minton, Professor East-
wick, F.R.S., Sir James Tyler, Mr. S. H. Fisher, Mr.
P. Hardwicke, R.A., Professor Donaldson, Rev. R-
Burgess, Mr. H. Stevens (Vermont), Mr. R. Redgrave'
R.A., Rev. -- Cattley, Lieut. Roger, RN., Mr. W.
Tite, P.A., Mr. Joshua Butterworth, Major Little, Mr.
J. Wood, Deputy F. Bennoch, Deputy Obbard, &c.
The LORD Mayon stated that he had called the meet-
ing for the purpose of promoting friendly co-operation
in the erection of a suitable memorial of the Great Ex-
hibition of 1851, the principal figure of which should
be a statue of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. He
knew that in so doing he had rendered himself liable
to the charge of wishing to arrogate to himself the
honour of being the first person to suggest such a course
of proceeding. Such, however, was not the case ; and
he trusted that those persons who might previously have
suggested the propriety of such a step would give their
friendly support towards the accomplishment of the de-
sign. It had been objected that such a proposition

but
the fact was, that the more humble the position, and
the less claim which such a person would have upon
public attention, the more strongly would it prove that
there was something in the proposal itself valuable and
important, when general concurrence was obtained in its
support. Whoever might have originated the idea, he was
only anxious that it should be honourably and nobly car-
ried out. With respect to the proposal itself, it was
probable that there might be some differences of opinion.
It might, and indeed had been said, that his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert already lived in the esteem and affec-
tion of the country at large, and further that the pro-
posed monument was perfectly unnecessary for the pur-
pose of convincing any one of the existence of such a
feeling. Even the magnificent structure now erecting
at Sydenham, and the exhibitions of industry and art
which had been held in Ireland and other countries, the
success of which was mainly to be traced to the Great
Exhibition of 1851, had been considered as affording in
themselves sufficient memorials of the Great Exhibition
and its noble President. With these opinions he did
not concur. (Cheers.) On the contrary, he thought
that if so many examples had already been brought for-
ward testifying to the importance and value of such col-
lections of industrial art as that of the Great Exhibition,
the great event itself ought not to be allowed to pass by
without a memorial that it had once existed among the
people of England. (Cheers.) He thought that the
nation ought to have an opportunity of testifying their
respect and esteem for his Royal Highness in connection
with the Great Exhibition, and this he thought would
hardly be afforded by the erection even of the beautiful
statue of Marochetti. These were ;the reasons which
had induced him to take the steps which he had done,
and he only desired that the proposal might meet with
the widest possible success among all classes of his coun-
trymen. (Cheers.)
The Lord Bishop of OXFORD proposed the first resolu-
tion, and in doing so said that he had great pleasure in
proposing the adoption of the resolution. He thought
it was of great importance in the opening of the meet-
ing that they should mark what should be the object of
the meeting, and the resolution did so, and if they wan-
dered from the simplicity of this project he could see no
objection to it, but if they wandered from that object,
there would be many defections. Prince Albert had ex-
hibited great virtues, and was justly endeared to the
people ; but it would be premature to erect a memorial
of the Prince in his own lifetime. But when the propo-
sition was on account of the Great Exhibition, he
thought the object appropriate and deserving; for as
events passed on such things might be forgotten, and,
therefore, they should commemorate the great fact of
the Exhibition while yet the memory of it was vivid,
and then there was the fact that the memory of the ob-
ject was in itself deserving. The Great Exhibition had
added a new fact to the character of nations, and had
stimulated the industry which the present day could not
see in its full influence, but which had already exerted a
great influence on the nations of the earth, This great
act was an act which increased the commodities and the
comforts of the whole world, and the way in which it
had been taken up in other quarters was a sufficient
proof of that. And no man could more appropriately
call a meeting like the present than the Lord Mayor of
London, who presided in the highest commercial city in
the world. He was sure they would meet with a re-
sponse from all, if they did not come forward for the
purpose of base adulation, for the Prince would be the
first to spurn such an offering, but for the purpose of
commemorating the great and beneficial influence of the
Great Exhibition. He would conclude by moving the
first resolution :

" 1. That the Great Exhibition of 1851, which com-
prised the products of the industry of all countries, was
an event of the greatest importance to the nations of the
world by enabling them to observe the relative influence
of science, art, and national characteristics upon pro-
duction, by furnishing the means of a valuable review
of the past, and by marking a new starting point for the
future progress of productive industry, and giving it an
increased stimulus."

Captain SHEPHERD seconded the adoption of the reso-
lution, because he thought the Exhibition had conferred
great benefit on this country and the world. It had
been the theme of praise in every quarter, and for two
years it was their disgrace that something had not been
done to commemorate that great event, and they were
obliged to the Lord Mayor for originating this meeting.
He hoped the meeting would meet with that support
which it deserved.

The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received several
hundred letters from different parts of the country ex-
pressing approbation of the object of the meeting ; but
only a few of them would be read.
Letters were then read from Lord Aberdeen and
others offering subscriptions. Lord Aberdeen, 51. ; the
Duke of Norfolk, 100/. ; tho Duke of Sutherland (no
subscription mentioned) ; Duke of Argyle, 30/. ; Mar-
quis of Breadalbane, 501. ; Earl Spencer, 501. ; Lord
Ashburton, 501. All the other letters were in support
of the object of the meeting ; most of them inclosing
subscriptions. Letters were received from the Duke of
Bedford, the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Roseberry,
Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lord Campbell, &c.
From these letters we select the following :
" Argyll-house, Oct. 31, 1853.

"My dear Lord Mayor—fought to have returned an
earlier answer to your letter ; but I now hasten to say
that it would give me much pleasure if my name ap•
peared in the first list of the supporters of your proposal
as a subscriber of fifty pounds.
" With the best wishes for your success, I have the
honour to be, my dear Lord Mayor, very truly yours,
" ABERDEEN."

" Inverary, Oct. 30, 1853.
" My Lord—ln reply to your letter respecting the
proposal to erect a statue to his Royal Highness the
Prince Albert, on the site of the Great Exhibition of
1851, I beg to express my cordial concurrence in this
undertaking, and my desire to contribute thereto. Will
your lordship be kind enough to put down my name for
thirty pounds ?
" I have the honour to be, your lordship's obedient,
&c., " ARGYLL."
The Duke of Norfolk requested that his name might
be put down for 1001. ; the Marquis of Breadalbane,
Earl Spencer, Lord Ashburton, and the, Marquis of
Westminster, stated their readiness to subscribe 50/.
each. A letter was also read from a working man, who
begged that his name might be put down as a subscriber
of 11. is. The total number of subscribers was stated to
be about 600, and the amount of subscriptions nearly
5,0001.
The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution, which was
carried amid the greatest acclamation.
The PROVOST of ETON proposed the second resolution.
He felt so deep a debt of gratitude to Prince Albert for
his encouragement of education, that it afforded him
great pleasure in proposing the resolution. He cordially
concurred with what had fallen from the Bishop of Ox-
ford, that the testimonial should not be one in honour
of the general merits of Prince Albert, but one peculiarly
applicable to the great event of the Exhibition. He be-
lieved there never was an association combined together
for the purpose of promoting peace which had such an
effect to accomplish that object as that of the Great Ex-
hibition. He knew of no better mode of commemorating
the Exhibition than the one proposed. But how the
object proposed would be carried out should be left to
the committee to be appointed, who would, no doubt,
give the ' subject their best consideration. He then
moved the following resolution :
"2. That a monument

in seconding the resolution,
SAMUEL
said, it appeared to him that the Great Exhibition was
one of the greatest educational exhibitions which ha,d

Viz. :-

ever been attempted, and he thought that the f ndividual
who was mainly the cause of it should be lion( ,ured with
the testimonial proposed. _ . _

Mr. JOHN WILKES spoke in support of 'the motion,
and expressed his hearty and cordial concurrence in the
object of the meeting, to which he was sure t: he country
would respond with alacrity. He could st3e no obli-
gation more worthy of the citizens of London and the
country than to commemorate the merits cif Priice
Albert in reference to the Great Exhibition.

The second resolution was then put and agreed to.
Mr. Alderman WIRE moved the third resolution.
The long list of subscriptions which had been read made
it unnecessary for him to say anything beyond woving
the resolution, which was—

"3. That the following noblemen and gentlemen be
requested to act a. 3 a central committee to carry out the
objects in view, with power to add to their number."
[Here follows a long of names of noblemen and
gentlemen.]

The resolution having been seconded by Mr. Tite waE,
unanimously agreed to.

A vote of thanks was then moved to the Lord Mayor,
and the meeting broke up.
