EW INVENTIONS.—The Americans, always
L fond of the "go-a-head" system, and determined to destroy
the barriers of rudeness, time, and space by several inventions they
are about to bring out. The English, practical and calculating, are
in advance with almost every other nation in the success which
atten's all their introductions, and have flistinguished themselves by
the economising properties of their inventions. On this side of the
Atlantic it is quite customary to say "What will the invention
save ?" for that is a great essential of improvements. In the most
businesslike sense this applies to the Establishment of E. MosEs and
Sox, whose inventions in ATTIRE are the climax of all modern im-
provements, by an unity of speed and correctness in the execution
f orders, and combination of styles. comfort, and economy in every
seasonable article of dress. E. Moses and SoN's new inventions in
OVERCOATS, over all preten4ed imitations, are perfectly victorious
in material, in fashion, in comfort, and cheapness.
E. Moses and SoN's new introductions in Sporting Dress are the
approved and the most business-like inventions of the age, affording
eerfeet ease in all sporting exercises, and presenting a most gentle-
manly appearance at an economical coat.
E. MOSES and Sores Juvenile Dress exhibits the most ingenious
inventions, and combine novelties not to be equalled elsewhere The
largest stock of Hosiery Goods in the world at E MosEs and SoN's
show the newest inventions of every country in the universe, and
are practically a great saving to purchasers. In Hats, Csps, Boots
and Shoes, &c., &c , the best articles, the newest styles, and the
lowest prices are united by E. MOSES and Sox. The wholesale De-
partment of B Moss and SoN's Establishment gives the amplest
onortunity for Merchants, Shippers, and Emigrants to improve
their capital by the safest and most profitable investments.
Full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, with ship-sailing
Information, may be had on application or post free.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-Nke ,
tal,ehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
th same concern." has been resorted to in many instances, and for

endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penaltiesl and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed.

that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
free. In selecting thi, department of practice, he has been amply

Tof the metropolis, of which it forms an inconsiderable part,
and we find it encumbered with an anomalous jurisdiction
which might have done very well in the time of the Plan-
tagenets, but has now become fiat, stale effete, and alto-
gether unprofitable. In order to make out' the case against
the city, it is not in the least necessary estalgish the
validity of those charges of corruption and .I.c46,4inini§-.
nesaescbefore the Commission. The truth is, that the onus
tratinb which have been deposed to by the 1Wil:
of the proof lies rather upon the Corporation. Let the
members of this body render up an account of their stew-
ardship, and show that they have administered the vast
funds at their disposal without favour, without stint,
without. nepotism, without deception. There are certain
plain municipal duties to be discharged which must- be
discharged by somebody or other. The question is,
whether the present machinery is the beat which could be
be maintained in a state of efficient organisation; justice
must be administered at the police-offices ; sewerage, drain-
age,contrived for the purpose. The police force of the city must
lighting, paving operations, &c„ must be carried on ;
beyond this, what? We by no means pretend to have
exhausted the ordinary catalogue of municipal duties, but
surely these aro the principal heads. When we pass on,
we find it strongly asserted on the one side, and faintly,
or not at all, denied on the other, that the corporation of.
London enjoys the usufruct of large revenues, arising
partly from estates, partly from tolls and rates, and pro-
bably from many other sources. It is, no doubt, necessary
that these revenues should be administered for the public
benefit by somebody or other, after all objectionable tolls
and levies have been abolished. Nor would the duty of
the administrators be confined simply to the management
of estates and the collection of revenue ; when these ques-
tions are disposed of, that of expenditure remains. There
is a large sum of money forthcoming every year, which
might without imprudence, and should in fairness, be ap-
plied, first to the relief of the citizens from any undue
levies to which they may be exposed in contradistinction
to the inhabitants of other municipal boroughs throughout
the country ; and next to the improvement of the city, to
the construction of bridges, to the opening of new streets,
to the important objects of sewerage and drainage before
alluded to, to the establishment and mainteance of
schools for the benefit of the families of citizens, and other
institutions. There is really no scheme of predetermined
confiscation present to the mind of the most determined
city reformer. To borrow a Parliamentary phrase, what
we want is an "enabling bill." We want to see the
affairs of the city placed in the hands of the citizens,
and that they shall no longer be left in the
power of a few knots, of obscure retail tradesmen.
Let us have a constituency and an administrative body
which shall sympathise with the progress and intelligence
of the age, and not a mere set of impostors, who call them-
selves exclusively citizens of London, and mismanage the
municipal affairs. Let us get rid at once and for ever of
the ridiculous gewgaws and vulgar display, which render
the very name of the London Corporation a fitter subject
for the caricaturist and squib-writer than for any more
serious discussion. There can surely be no great difficulty
in deciding whether questions of police, of magisterial
functions, and of sewerage within the city can be solved
with greater economy and efficiency by corporation officers,
or by amalgamation with more general boards of adminis-
tration. Beyond this, the inquiry at present in progress
before the commissioners is rather pointed at debits and
credits--the amount of the city revenues, and how it is
disposed of. We cannot suppose that any difficulty will be
found in fixing some simple test of citizenship which will
admit all bona fide citizens to those privileges to which
they are rightly entitled, or in the construction of a suit-
able hierarchy of officers for the future administration of
the corporate funds. Surely a scheme of this kind is no
novelty to our statesmen ; one of the simplest sort has
already been found efficient in our corporate towns. We
have not far to search for precedents.
The inquiry. before the commissioners is proceeding, and
every day brings to light new disclosures. Mr. Mills
came forward to complain of the manner in which the
duties of the shrievalty were imposed upon unoffending
citizens who had no mind to such an infliction, while
others ware perfectly willing to undertake it. Mr.
Mills and various members of his family had been fined
sums varying from 6001. to 400/. in order to escape from
the nuisance. When the system of annoyance had proved
so intolerable that men were exasperated into an organiza-
tion for wetting rid of it altogether, the Corporation clinched
the nail by determining that the fines should be allowed to
accumulate in the hands of the Chamberlain, and that the
proceeds should be applied to charitable objects—thus per-
petuating the evil. Mr. J. D. Fowles, the Chairman of
yoabhfouettathhraeet
the London Dock Company, represented to the Commis-
sioners that the City Navigation Committee consisted of 40
persons, not one of whom had the slightest acquaintance
with the subject upon which he was called to legislate.
He added that, with the exception of Alderman Thomp-
son, there was not a single merchant in the Corporation of
London, and that the mercantile interests of London, as
distinguished from the retail interests, were not repre-
sented in that body. Mr. J. A. Elliot, a member of the
Common Council, was examined, and stated that, in his
opinion, the administration of justice by the Aldermen
was most defective. He objected to the presence of the
committing magistrates at the Central Criminal Court and
at Quarter Sessions, and mentioned certain scandals which
bad taken place in consequence of the administration of
justice by Aldermen. The city police, too, it appears,
costs about twice as much as it should in fairness. The

precise expense is set at 40,000/1 per annum—that of the
general London police at 400,0001.—but then the city is
to London as Ito 20. Each of the police-courts of London
costs 2,000/. per annum ; each of the city police-courts 2,5001.,
and the magistrates are unpaid. We must, however, pass over
minor matters to come to the evidence of 2.11 r. Bennoch. That
gentleman, among other things, let the Commission a little
into the secret of " committees." It appears that every

• .
member is elected for four years, and after two years any
one is eligible to the chair. The great point for any can-
didate for that honour is, that ho should be constant in
his attendance upt.n the nocturnal tavern-meetings of the
committee. That is the sine qua non. General incom-
petence is the next recommendation ; for, if the civic
Dogberries see any trace of knowledge about the aspirant,
they set him down at once for a bad, designing man. The
tavern bills are paid out of the city funds without audit ;
if a surplus remains, it is voted to the chairman, in the
form of a testimonial in plate. Mr. Benuoch tells us that
the great object of desire with the civic magnates is to be
put upon the Navigation Committee, because that body
is the peculiar consumer of whitebait at Blackwall or
Greenwich. There is one point in Mr. Bennoch's evidence
which should be quoted in illustration of a most scanda-
lous practice—scandalous to the practisers, but yet moretfloa
scandalous to the recipients—with which the Corporation
has been charged. " I know," said Mr. BennochP°r'll
under a loose general resolution that the committee should
ascertain the best means of giving publicity to the pro.
ceedings of the Corporation, large sums were being
paid for newspapers which no one required. Whenever
an article appeared in favour of the
oaoration, that
paper was purchased, and distributed freely ; but I
never found yet that, when there was an article
against the Corporation, the. paper was purchased. We
omit a sentence with reterence to Smithfield-mar-
ket, of which we will presently speak, to mention that Mr.
Labouchere pressed the witness very closely upon this
point, and said—" Do you mean that money was sent with
articles to the newspapers to secure their insertion ?" Mr.
Bennoch replied--" I believe the object was that the news-
paper authorities might be induced to allow the articles to
appear as paragraphs, instead of as advertisements."
But let us pass on to the evidence of Mr. Sheriff Wallis
—and surely no man is in a better position to know the
truth of facts. According to this gentleman, very great
corruption prevails in the city elections, more especially in
those of aldermen, chamberlain, sheriffs, and Lord Mayor.
He had known as much as 10,0001. spent to obtain a lucra-
tive office worth between 2,0001. and 3,0001. a-year. There
is no great venality connected with the election to the office
of common councilman, simply because the post is not an
object of ambition. Mr. Wallis particularised instances.
In two contests for the office of Lord Mayor which had
come under his notice, as much as 15,0001. had been spent.
He told the commissioners, moreover, that he had been per-
sonally engaged in every contest for the office of chamber-
lain since he had been an agent, and he had known as much
as 10,0001. spent to obtain the appointment. Then, again,,

( From the Times of Monday.)
Ono of the most curious and useful works which could
be given to the world by a student of our legal literature
would be a thorough and complete edition of the various
characters which have from time to time been granted t
the city of London. It would not only be necessary to
give the texts of the charters, but in a Retries of well di-
gested notes to mark the shortcomings of hegone
e civic autho-
rities. Their obligations should haveav hand in hand
with their privileges, but we h
ere reason to
suppose, that while the privileges haveeberYen treated as
favoured children, the obligations have been suffered to
lag sadly behind. Of immunities, ri • freedoms, privi-
leges, &c., we have heard a great dealglitsev'en from the days
when the aldermen made their annual round to visit the
twenty great leaden conduits,
and afterwards hunted a hare
before dinner, and a fox
aafterd it, in the fields near St.
Giles. Coal dues, meta dues and tolls have been very
strenuously enforced, and if so much as a little finger was
laid upon the city privileges 7 London has heard of it in
very significant language ;
but of the services which the
corporation was bound to render in return to the kernel of
the metropolis we know uo more than of Masonic secrets,

..te pains appear to have been taken to conceal the do-
cuments in which the necessary information was to be
found from the knowledge of the public indeed, it is s.
Aatter of grave doubt whether aldermen themselves are-at,
all acquainted with the duties they and their predecessors
were bound to discharge. They have acted, however, upon
the instinct of concealment ust as ravens do when they
filch.a silver it in _seine hole,_of which
only they have the secret. " Their policy," said Mr,.
Pulling in his evidence of Friday last before the commis.
sioners, "is to conceal their charters. Their instructions
to their officers are to deny the public access to them,
although I contend that they ought to be accessible to
every citizen of London." There are in existence 200 cha-
rters relating to the City ; of these, 20, and probably the'
most important, are not even in print. The City makes
claims founded upon the charters, but never produces the
documents themselves. It is very possible that the strik
ing reluctance evinced on many occasions by the legal ad-
visors of the Corporation to enforce claims against recalcis
trants arises from the fear of what must follow if they
produced parchments which 'would bear witness to their
wrongs as well as to their rights. At any rate, their own
dubious course of proceeding leaves them open to the full
license of conjecture. Mr. Pulling told the commissiontirs
that there are at least 250 local acts of Parliament in force,
applicable to the City, as well as the 200 charters, and
is much to be hoped that one of the earliest fruits of the
labours of the commissioners will be a digest of this valua-
ble body of information. If the necessary documents are
given to the world, no doubt some editor of sufficient an-
tiquarian, as well as legal knowledge, will quickly step
forward and let us somewhat into the arcana of
the London corporation. ThankS to Mr. Pulling, we find
ourselves in a condition to point Out at least one notable
example of a neglected duty—of an obligation imposed
upon the London corporation by act of Parliament, which
has been altogether neglected, and that for the obvious -
purpose of gain. We should, perhaps, rather say that
the corporation of London have set an act of Parlia-
ment at defiance iu a matter which closely touched the
health, comfort, and convenience of the citizens, in order
that they might make their profit of the violation. It
will, no doubt, be as much a matter of surprise to our
readers as it was to ourselves, when they hear that an act
of Parliament was passed in the days of Charles 11. which
directed that the river Thames should • be embanked from
London-bridge to the Temple, and that no houses should
be built there. Houses, and warehouses, and streets' have
been built, as the world knows, along the northern batik
of the river, under the name of " Thames-street," ccc. ;
but it may not be as generally known that a censiderable
portion of the revenues -a the-Cm-ppclaiVa from --
that very property," and that they enjoy it in direct viola-
tion, not to say in direct defiance, of an act of Paeliamovt.
That is the reason why we have no Thames ernbauk-
moiltand..viarizih,,anital_a. the English empire is fairly
wing negisseeseLsasturo,ture ,
in its position which might have been converted into its
greatest beauty and adornment. The neglect, however,
or rather the illegal act of the Corporation, dates from an .
earlier time. They were not only bound to maintain the
river in its course by the provisions of the act of Parlia-
ment indicated ; the obligation dates from an earlier
epoch. Anne's the earliest functions claimed by the mem-
bers of the Corporation is the conservancy of the river
Thames. Whether they take it by charter or custom we
cannot say. In bygone ages, as in our own time, it was
necessary to keep the river Thames within its channel
by artificial embankments. It is evident that in times
beyond memory it has changed its bed. The irregular
deposit of gravel in various places, and the uniform
covering of loam which is found above it, offer a satisfac-
tory proof of the fact. It was a matter of great conse-
quence that the channel of the river should be exactly
maintained, at least where it flowed through the actual
buildings of the town. An embankment of sufficient
strength was the only obvious course for securing this
benefit, and this the wisdom of our ancestors—which is
here no empty phrase—atterispted to provide. They might
well have supposed that, as years rolled on, other advan-
tages besides the one which they had immediately in view
would follow from their most wise and salutary precaution.
At this moment, had not the Corporation been guilty of
so flagrant a violation of the act of Charles 11., and of so
gross a neglect of their own duties as conservators of the
Thames, we should have been placed in a most favourable
position for carrying out the great system of trunk sewer-
age. according to which all the liquid refuse of the town
might be conveyed away to any distant spot which might
be desirable, without polluting the waters of the river.
The duty has been neglected and the statute set at defiance.
Here are Mr. Pulling's words :—" Being the conservators
of the Thames, they have been in the habit of granting
leave to encroach upon the banks of the Thames, and to do
that very thing which the office of conservators directed
them to prevent others from doing." Mr. Pulling then
goes on to describe the act of Charles 11. and its objects,
and then adds :—" Hundreds of houses have, however,
been built, as we all know, along Thames-street ; and I
believe, although I am not in their secrets, that a very con-
siderable portion of the property of the Corporation is de-
rived from the rents of that very property which has been
obtained by encroachment upon the bed of the Thames, con-
trary to their trust." This, however, is only one point. as any
of ,our readers may quickly enough perceive who will be at
the pains of referring to Mr. Pulling's evidence. We have
not space to quote it at length, but we should add, that it
appears the city claims to hold lands in mortmain, dating
the claim from the days of the Fourth Edward. Under
this claim they receive a large revenue from rents and quit-
rents. " The greater number of these rents and quitrents
is derived from property which I conceive they clearly had
for the purposes of a trust, of which trust they have com-
mitted a breach." These are heavy charges, referring to
most important matters, and involving very deep culpa-
bility, if they be sustained. We give them with every
circumstance of time, place, and person, in order that the
answer, which is inevitable, may be as precise as the
charge.
If the points be made out the only possible excuse or
palliation which the Corporation can offer for their viola-
tion of a most sacred trust is their own crass ignorance,
But can this plea be sustained ? An alderman is not pre-
sumed to have the requisite agility of mind for threaaing
his way through charters and acts of Parliament, but at
least, as Alderman of London, he has ample means at his
disposal for commanding the highest legal skill and ability
in the country. Why have the charters been con-
cealed and studiously kept from the knowledge of the
public ? If there was a consciousness of neglected
duty with regard to the charters, why not with regard
to the acts of Parliament ? It should be observed that
this case is clearly distinguishable from that of a pri-
vate proprietor, who may not unreasonably object to
grant permission for strangers to sport over his title deeds.
He may well desire that the requisite wave of time should
pass over his muniments of titleliefore dealers in subtleties
and conveyancing points have access to them. We pre-
sume him to have purchased in good faith, and therefore
entitled to guard his possession as the return for his pur-
chase-money. But—with a Corporation—with a public
body holding large revenues in trust for public objects,
the case is different. They, at least, should have no
secrets from the world, and should desire nothing more
earnestly than that any stranger should inform them of an
error in the discharge of their duties and obligations.
Secrecy and concealment offer strong presumptions against.
good faith in such a case as that of the Corporation of
Loudon.

MR. PELLATT AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.


A public meeting of the electors and non-electors of
Southwark, was held last evening, at the Literary In-
stitution, Borough-road, at the instance of Mr. A.
Pellatt, M.P., to receive from the hon. gentleman an ex-
planation of his conduct during the short period he has
had the honour of being one of their representatives in
Parliament.

demonstrations of applause, expressed the pleasure
