Two HUNDRED MILES IN A QUARTER OF AN HOUR.
—A Mr. Richardson is maintaining in New York that
it is entirely practicable to build an atmospheric tube
from that city to Boston (200 miles), through which
mail bags or parcels of any description may be regularly,
certainly, and safely sent in fifteen minutes. Ho has
perfectly obviated the most apparent difficulty, which
consisted in the collision of the parcel despatched on
reaching its termination. This he has accomplished by
the counter-pressure arising from the elasticity of unex-
, hausted air, thereby reducing the shock until it be-
comes absolutely imperceptible.. A considerable part
of the stock for the building of his mail-tube has already
, been subscribed by American capitalists,

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Nov. B.—There is nothing more evi-
dent on the face of the American advices than that the
weather continued to be highly favourable for the pick-
ing of cotton, the effect of which was a further decline
in prices, both at New York and in the southern markets.
This tendency was slightly modified by the accounts re-
ceived hence to the 18th ult.; and the occurrence of what
was no doubt an ordinary white frost, was magnified
into a " killing frost." Yesterday, in Liverpool, this
" killing frost" was turned to a little account for about
an hour, when it ceased to have any effect. To-day at
our own market, the German buyers, whose customers
on the other side are lightly supplied, being afraid to do
wrong, are limiting their orders to immediate wants.
The home buyers are taking extremely little. There is
an inconsiderable inquiry for India yarns, but not even
that for the medium and better kind of 40-inch shirtings.
We understand that the employers of Manchester and
Salford have determined on reducing wages in such de-
grees as to leave them five per cent. in weaving and ten
per cent. in spinning above the rates paid at the end of
1852. Carding is to remain untouched. The time for
adopting this measure is to be determined at the next
meeting. At Burnley, yesterday, it was announced to
a meetine of the unemployed that, as all the money
that could be obtained would be required in fighting
the battle at Preston, and in the expenses of the organi-
sation, no aid could be afforded to the turn-outs in other
places. This announcement gave rise to a good deal of
discontent.

ROCHDALE, Nov. 7.—There has not been much change
in the flannel market today. If lower prices would
have been submitted to, more business would have been
transacted. Wool has been rather firmer to-day, aris-
ing principally from the London wool sales, where bet-
ter prices were obtained during the latter part of last
week. During this last week, two attempts have been
made by the Preston and other turn-outs to get up a
public meeting in their favour in Rochdale, but without
effect. One meeting was to have been held in the pub-
lic hall, but the party taking it forfeited the deposit ;
and the other meeting was to have been held behind the
post-office.
HALIFAX, Nov. s.—The prevailing tone of our mar-
ket is an entire want of confidence, and all kinds of
worsted goods change hands very slowly, the merchants
being unwilling to purchase, even at prices below the
cost of production. A similar languor pervades the wool
and yarn markets, and has a depressing influence on the
quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. B.—There has been rather more
done in the woollen market to-day, although the attend-
ance of buyers has been far from numerous. Several
parcels of heavy cloths for the home market have been
purchased, and fancy woollens of new patterns have been
inquired for by some of the shipping houses. Business
generally, however, has been far from good.
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 7.—The iron trade has assumed a
more satisfactory position since the close of last quar-
ter. The return of the colliers and miners to their work,
without having obtiined any advance in their wages,
and after a strike of sufficient duration to severely test
their credit at the different provision shops, has ensured
a steady continuance of the present supply of coals and
ironstone, for some time to come. As far as relates to
the making of pig iron, the total absence of any stocks
of ironstone, and the still diminishing amount raised in
our various coal-fields, must strike the most casual ob-
server, and, when connected with the impracticability of
any new resources being opened, afford just ground for
expecting an upward movement in prices. The prices
of iron may now be fairly quoted—Bars 91. per ton,
hoops 101., plates 11./. Pig iron is fetching 41. to 51.
ss. according to quality.

THE CITY CORPORATION COMMISSION.

The commissioners met yesterday, at the offices of the
Privy Council, Downing-street, and resumed their in-
quiry. Commissioners present—Mr. Labouchere (chair-
man), Sir John Patteson, and Mr. Cornewall Lewis.
Mr. Acland, the secretary of the City of London
Municipal Reform Association, who has been under exa-
mination ever since the commissioners opened their
investigation, again attended to give further evidence.
The Chairman said—Mr. Acland, is there anything
which you have omitted in your former examination that
you now wish to add ?
Mr. A cland—l wish, sir, to make a few observations
relative to the Irish Society committee of the corpora-
tion. The Irish Society is a body in the interest of the
12 principal guilds or livery companies of the City of
London, and until 1832 its governing body was com-
posed of delegations from those 12 guilds. Some diffi-
culty arose with reference to one of the companies—l
think the Salters' Company. The charter required a
certain number appointed from each company to con-
stitute the society. The Salters' Company, having very
few members, were obliged to appoint an alderman in-
stead of a Salter, and the inconvenience at length be-
came so great that the corporation' undertook the
management of the society by a deputy-governor and
21 common councilmen.

The Chairman—Was an act of Parliament passed to
facilitate that change ?

Mr. Acland—l am not aware that the change was so
legalised—so to speak.
The Chairman—ls the property vested in the corpora-
tion or in the companies ?
Mr. Acla.nd--It is still vested in the companies. The
change has had this.effect, that it gave the corporation an
additional amount of patronage. The late secretary of the
society was a common councilman, his assistant-clerk was
the son of a common councilman, the present secretary is a
common councilman, the late agent in Ireland (who held
a very lucrative and responsible situation) was a com-
mon councilman, and his successor, the present agent,
was lately the deputy of the ward of Aldgate, the same
ward of which Mr. Alderman Humphery (the governor
of the society) is alderman. Thus Alderman Humphery
being alderman of the ward of Aldgate, and governor of
the Irish Society, procures the appointment of his de-
' puty for Aldgate to the situation of agent to xthe society
on its estates in Ireland. At the last contest for the office
of secretary there were twelve candidates. The number
was reduced from twelve to three, two of the three being
common councilmen, and the third the son of a common
councilman, and I need not add that a common council-
man was elected.

The Chairman—l see that in their report the last com-
missioners state it as their opinion that the corporation
manages its property in Ireland with great liberality,
and to the benefit of its tenants. Have you any reason
to doubt the truth of that ?

Mr. Arland—l do strongly doubt it. lam aware that
the Derry papers frequently complain of the mal-admi-
nistration of the corporation of London's Irish estates ;
they complain that no inducement is held out to the
tenants to effect improvement 9.

that, including the sums paid for the Irish Society Com-
mittee, and for "swan-hopping," that the total amount
paid in one year to the committees amounts to 4,0501.
With respect to "benevolences," I find in the accounts
for 1852 a sum of 501. paid for feasts during the
mayoralty of Alderman Hunter, and 501. paid to Sheriffs
Cotterell and Swift for the same purpose. There is also
under the same head of "benevolences, in very large
characters, the sum of 51. to one of the hospitals, and
21. 17s. to the parishes of St. Thomas and St. Olave.
And here I must express my conviction of the existence
of a secret service fund held in the hands of an officer
of the corporation : and to my knowledge there is an
expenditure of many hundreds of pounds, not one far-
thing of which appears in the accounts:
The Chairman—Do you mean that this money is not
included in the accounts, or that the details of its expen-
diture are not given in the accounts ?
Mr. Acland—l cannot say that it is not included in
the accounts. I cannot say, for instance, that an item
of "law charges, 1001." may not mean other things than
what are stated.

The Chairman—have you any personal knowledge of
heir management of these estates ?
Mr. Acland—l have not.

The Chairman—ls there any other point on which
you wish to address the commissioners ?
Mr. Acland—l am anxious to make a few observations
on a point involving a very important principle. I
allude to the practice of the corporation of London,
through their recognised agent, the Remembrancer,
to interfere needlessly and mischievously with the
progress of bills through Parliament, in order to obtain
the introduction of clauses designed to exempt the city
of London from the operation of beneficial acts of Par-
liament, and so to prejudice the community over which
they preside. I alluded on a previous occasion to their
resistance to the application of the County Courts Act
to the City, the consequence of which was, that after-
wards, when public opinion became too strong.for the
corporation, they were obliged to obtain a special act
extending the county-courts principle to the City, at an
expense of between 7001. and 8001., the citizens being
no longer willing to be denied a participation in a sys-
tem which worked so advantageously for the rest of the
country. But I would now more particularly call atten-
tion to the interference of the corporation last session
with the Charitable Trusts Act, the object of which was
to give a prompt and economical remedy in all cases of
the abuse of charitable trusts. In the city of London
there are 691 charities held in trust by the livery com-
panies, and 740 held in trust by the parochial officers,
giving a total of 1,431. The annual income derived
from trusts held by the livery companies amounts to
60,4781. 16s. 2d., and the amount derived from the
trusts held by the parochial officers is 47,5911. is. 9d.,
giving a total annual income from both classes of
charities within the City, as far back as 1832, of
108,0691. 17s. lld. ; and in all probability the annual
revenue of these charities has since that period greatly
augmented. Of the whole 1,431 charities belonging to
the City, upwards of 1,000 yield an annual income under
301.. and only about 350 of them yield an annual in-
come exceeding that sum. Under these circumstances,
when the Charitable Trust Bill was before Parliament,
the City Remembrancer succeeded in inserting a clause,
the effect of which was to have charities under 301. a-
year in the city of London, unlike charities else-
where, considered and treated as charities over 301. a-
year, thus taking away the appeal to the county
courts in the case of alleged abuse of the trust funds as
provided by that act, and transferring the appeal to
the superior and, consequently, more costly courts
of law. On examining the charity trust accounts of
the corporation, I find that there is a misapplication of
the livery companies' charity trust funds to the extent
of 21,0001. of the principal sum, and an annual sum of
9,0101. ; and that there is a misapplication of the parochial
charity trust funds to the extent of 10,800/. of principal
moneys, and 4,5641. of annual moneys. This shows a
total misapplication of 31,9381. of principal moneys, and
of 13,6591. of annual moneys. These annual payments,
if calculated at 4 per per cent. per annum, would repre-
sent a principal sum of 318,7831. The subject of the
coal tax interests the inhabitants of the metropolis and
all persons residing within twenty miles of the city. The
history of the coal dues exacted by the city lies in a nut-
shell. In former times the corporation of London lent
moneys to the Sovereign, which moneys were lost, and
the coal dues were given to the corporation in order that
they might be repaid the amount they had advanced.
That amount was repaid by the coal dues, and being re-
paid one would have thought that there was an end of
the matter ; but not so. From time to time the corpo-
ration have procured what might be called a renewal of
their Parliamentary lease, and the lease now existing
will expire in 1862. They levy a toll on all the coal
consumed by the citizens, and also on all the coal con-
sumed by every inhabitant of the metropolis within
twenty miles of the city. Surely, the inhabitants of the
metropolis have a right to complain that the corporation
of the city should tax them on this necessary of life, and
spend the proceeds of the tax on objects in which they
have no more interest than the inhabitants of II orkshire
or Lancashire.

Mr. C. Lewis—Do you say you have any knowledge
of the fund which you call a secret service fund ?
Mr. Acland—No.

The Chairman—You say of your own knowledge that
part of the funds is misapplied to these purposes, which
you call secret service, and is not accounted for—are
you able to produce any evidence in support of your
statement ?

Mr. Acland—l am not able to do so now, but I am
prepared to say that this commission shall have evidence
of what I have stated before this inquiry closes.
Mr. C. Lewis—After carefully examining the accounts
of the corporation, do you think they bear evidence of
having been drawn up in the form most likely to render
them intelligible ?
Mr. Acland—l would rather say, in a form the least
likely to be intelligible.
Mr. C. Lewis—You mean to say that the form
adopted for the accounts is chosen with the design of
preventing persons from accurately understanding them?
Mr. Acland—l believe that the officers of the corpo-
ration are very far from being fools, and assuming that
the officer who prepared the account I have exhibited
has any talent in him, and assuming that he had a mo-
tive, from the fact that it is an intelligible account I am
led to the conclusion that such must have been the in-
tention.

The Chairman—ls it not the fact that part of the pro-
ceeds is spent on improvemenls in other parts of the
metropolis besides the city ?
Mr. Acland—Yes, but that does not affect the argu-
ment. Westminster pays a tax of ls. ld., and there is
only expended on improvements for the metropolis at
large Bd. The city authorities claim 4d. of the tax
as being absolutely a part of their own property, with
which they can do as they please. The 4d. tax on coals
received by the city in 1852 amounted to 62,440/. ; the
id. tax received by the city (for the expenses of carry-
ing out the act of Parliament) amounted to 15,607/.; the
Bd. tax, received and expended by the Board of Works,
amounted to 124,8801.—making a total of 202,9271.
levied on coal.

Mr. C. Lewis—Are you aware of any complaint being
made with regard to the form in which the accounts are
presented?
Mr. Arland—No, sir.

The Chairman—We have ample information already
on the subject of the coal dues in the reports of the com-
mittees of the House of Commons.

•
The Chairman—You have now stated to us at great
length, Mr. Acland, the defects which you suppose exist
in the system of the corporation, and in the manner in
which that system is conducted. Will you now have the
goodness to state to us any opinions which you may
have formed of what would be the nature of the system
which you would propose to substitute for that which
now exists, for the municipal government of the city of
London ?
Mr. Acland—l have, sir, given the subject some
attention, and I have prepared what I consider a scheme,
by way of suggestion, for the reform of the corporation.
I would rather that the commissioners had arrived at
their own conclusions, although, at the same time, I can-
not object to state my views, only I wish it to be wider-
stood that I would rather not be tied down to every one
of the details of my scheme.
The Chairman--Do not understand the commissioners
as pressing you to state your opinions contrary to your
own wish. Any statement you may make will be given
entirely voluntarily on your part.
Mr. Acland then proceeded to lay before the commis-
sioners the leading features of a scheme which he had
prepared for remedying the evils and abuses connected
with the corporation. It was as follows :

Mr. Acland—Yes, sir, but this is a subject on which
the inhabitants of the metropolis naturally feel very
strongly.
The Chairman—Have you anything to say respecting
the finances of the corporation ?
Mr. Acland—l hold in my hand the statement of the
produce and expenditure of the City estates for 1852.
It contains among others the accounts of the chamber-
lain of the City, with the accounts of the comptroller,
in which the latter functionary debits the chamberlain
with the City income. Of the thirteen items of which
it is composed, only, one of the items agrees in both ac-
counts. Mr. Acland then pointed out various items in
the accounts, showing a total difference between the
accounts of the chamberlain and those of the comptroller
of 9,0001. The discrepancies in the accounts ought to
be accounted for to the commissioners, for as the ac-
counts now stand the commissioners cannot possibly
understand them.
Mr. C. Lewis—What are the relations between the
comptroller and the chamberlain ?
_No, his office is rather that of a preli-

Lord Mayor had " violet 'gown" supplied to him, but
it does not say what the gown cost. The gown is
grouped with two gowns for the sheriff's yeomen, cost-
ing 701. 10s. for the two, which would leave a harge
of 151. for the violet silk gown. There is also a charge
of 721. paid to Mr. William Price for a crimson velvet
gown for the Lord Mayor to wear at the Duke of Wel-
lington's funeral. At page 42 it will be found that the
sword-bearer and the common crier had 301. each
allowed them for gowns, because they had received no
gowns for the three years preceding ; but on looking
further back into the accounts it will be seen that these
officers had gowns within the period in question, and
also additional gowns for the occasion of the opening,
of the new Coal Exchange. The law costs of the cor-
poration in 1852 amounted to 3,973/. ; this amount in-
cluding 5601. for the costs of the action against the firm
four years, from 1849 to
1852, inclusive, amounted to 2,4111,,
of
600/, a year. I referred on a former occasion to the
or upwards
of Combe and Co., the eminent brewers. The expenses
of the corporation barge for
allowance of the committees of the corporation, and I
find that I have understated the sum, although I can-
notdiscover any mention in the accounts of the sum of
8001. allowed to the Improyement Committee. I find
