THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of all descriptions of Grain this week are moderate, and
of Flour the return is small. There is not much doing in the Wheat
trade, but Monday's terms are maintained. Barley, Beans, and Pease
remain as last reported. The Oat trade has been dull today at the
terms last quoted. Flour still continues to meet a slack trade at former
rates. The attendance of buyers was thin this morning, as the weather
very disagreeable.

EXTRAORDINARY CHANGE OF OPI-
NION IN THE CORPORATION OF LONDON.

The following statement of the substance of the proposi
tions for the Reform of the Municipal Institutions of the city
of London, submitted to the Court of Common Council by
the Committee of the whole Court, and of the resolutions to
which the Court itself agreed upon the subject, will show
what alteration the opinion of the body has undergone since
the Mayoralty of Alderman Copeland. The facts have caused
great surprise.

REFORM PROPOSED BY THE COMMITTEE.

The Committee of the whole Court resolved that the con-
stituency of the city should be of one uniform description,
that the boundaries of the several wards of the city should
be altered, in order to make :the wards more equal ; that the
wards should be made more equal as to the number of in-
habitants and the amount of rateable property in each ; that
the number of wards in the city should be twenty-five ;
that the time for holding elections should be consolidated,
and that there should be in the year two days for nomina-
tion and one day for election, namely, one day for the no-
mination of persons to be chosen in an assembly of all the
constituency in Common Hall, and one other day for the
nomination of persons to be chosen in the respective ward-
motes, the former to take place a few days before the latter ;
and that in the event of a poll being demanded on either the
Common-hall or Wardmote elections, the poll should be taken
on the day following the wardmote nomination in the several
wardmotes of the several elections within each ward ; that the
Mayor should be chosen from those Aldermen who have served
the office of Sheriff; that the election of Mayor by the Com-
mon-hall should be absolute, without any veto ; that the Al-
dermen should be elected in the several wardmotes from the
general constituency of the City ; that the election of Alder..
men by the wards should be without any veto ; that the Alder-
men should not be Justices:, until they have served the office
of Sheriff; that the Aldermen should be elected periodi-
cally ; that the period for the election of Aldermen should be
once in every seven years ; that no person should be
.eligible
for or continue in the office of Alderman who has been con-
victed
of fraud by a Jury, and that any Alderman who shall
during his tenure of office become bankrupt or insolvent, or
compound with his creditors, and in any such case shall not pay
twenty shillings in the pound, shall be thereupon removed
from his office, but not disqualified from re-election; that no
person should be eligible for or continue in the office of Com-
mon Councilman who has been convicted of fraud by a Jury,
and that any Common Councilman who shall during his tenure
of office become bankrupt or insolvent, or compound with his
creditors, and in any such case shall not pay twenty shillings
in the pound, shall be thereupon removed from his office, but
not disqualified from re-election ; that the Court of Mayor
and Aldermen be continued as a separate Court; but that for
the future the whole of the City's cash should be under the
controul and expended only by the authority of the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons in Common Council as-
sembled ; that the controul of the police and nightly watch of
the City should be vested in the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and
Commons in Common Council assembled; that all officers
at present appointed, or admitted by the Lord Mayor, or
by the Court of Aldermen, should in future be appointed
and admitted to their respective offices by the Court of
Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons in Common Council
assembled, or by any Committee or Committees to whom
they may delegate such appointments ; that the Commis-
sioners of Sewers, &c., the Corporation of the Irish Society,
and all other Commissions or Committees appointed by or
under Acts of Parliament or otherwise, and emanating from
the Court of Common Council, should be under the direct con-
troul of, and amenable to, that body; and that, if it shall be
deemed necessary to the proper administration of the affairs of
the Corporation, that the Members of the various Committees
should receive any remuneration for their services, the annual
sum to be appropriated for such remuneration should in no case
exceed 3001. to any one Committee.
