THE CORPORATION AT ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—At
a Court of Common Council held on Thursday, the Lord
Mayor said he thought he wan baund to allude to the
rudeness and inattention of the vergers of St. Paul's
Cathedral, on the day of humiliation and fast, to the
corporation, when the members attended Divine Service
in the cathedral. The 'vergers were, his lordship ob-
served, paid a certain stipend for attending to the cor-
poration, and certainly in the instance of his own family
those paid menials had acted with remarkable incivility.
He knew that the instance was not a- solitary one, as a
few years ago the Lord Mayor who then presided had
had occasion to complain .of great rudeness and incivility
from the persons who had acted so•improperly upon the
present occasion. (Hear, hear.) Deputy Bower thought
that in such a case as that just described the Court had
better make a formal complaint to the Dean and Chap-
ter of St. Paul's. A complaint of the kind would, no
doubt, have the desired effect, and. would not involve
the rejec.ion of a privilege which,-particularly under the
present circumstances of the Corporation, it would not
be judicious to abandon. Deputy-Lott said the members'
of the Court of Aldermen were not the only persons who
had reason to complain of the conduct of the vergers.
The indignity was extended by them to every branch of
the Corporation. It was then determined that the Town
Clerk should represent the circumstances to the Dean
And Chapter of St. Paul's.

portance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
Observe—opposite the York Hotel.—These telescopes pos-
sess such extraordinary powers that some, 3i inches, with
n extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
3ateirn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same tele-
'"rfrs can be seen a person's countenance three miles
;"oie a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles.
