COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was yesterday
held at Guildhall, for the transaction of general City business.
-.Mr.-Alderman WOOD called the attention of the Court to
the Bill now in progress through Parliament for erecting Col-
lier Docks in the Isle of Dogs, one clause of which in particu-
lar, named the compulsory clause, was calculated to raise the
price of coals, and -be injurious to the rights of the citizens
of London. He recommended a petition to the House of Com-
mons against the Bill, which recommendation, after a short
discussion on the subject was adopted. It was also agreed
to petition Parliament agiinst the Bermondsey Dock Bill.
21r. Deputy D.aw presented a report from the Navigation
Committee, on, the subject-of the Basingstoke Canal, stating
that it was calculated to diminish the tolls of the city, and
therefore recommending a petition to be presented to Parlia-
ment against it. .
Mr. JUPP opposed this recommendation, and argued in fa-
vour of the proposed canal.
.-Mr. Alderman Wow) contended that, in justice to the bond-
holders, they were•bound to oppose this canal.
The report was agreed to ; and a petition adopted, praying to
be itsard by counsel against the Bill.

NEW CENTRAL STREET.
A report from the improvement Committee on the petition
of the promoters of the proposed communication from Hol.
born-bridge to the North road was read. It stated that a
Select Committee had examined the plans presented by the
petitioners and were of opinion that the whole improvement
deserved die countenance and support of the Corporation of Lon-
don ; and recommended the Court to give it every facility, in-,
asmuch as it was an undertaking highly beneficial to the
city, and most useful to the puhlic at large. That the Select
'Committee had inspected the.plans for erecting public slaughter
houses, which the petitioners contemplated as connected with
'the improvement; and the Committee were of opinion -that
they were not only very ingenious, but particularly entitled to
'consideration; because,. it' curried into,effect, the multiplicity
of slaughter-houses would be prevented in the new market, and
'great nuisances in the city, and in the metropolis generally,
,removed, and, the convenience and health of the inhabitants
igreatly benefitted. That, the Committee bad been attended by
Robert Hall, the Secretary .to the petitioners, who stated,
;that an Act of Parliament to carry tile, proposed measure into
!effect could not, be obtained in the present Session, because the
!notices required by, the Standing Orders of the House had not
been given in due time ; but that the measure was still pro-
!ceeding, .and that it was intended to give the regular notices,
andapply to Parliament in the next Session.
It was moved that the Court agree with the Committee in.
their Report.
• Mr. Alderman WiturnatAx congratulated the Court on
'the prospect of this measure being. at length accomplished.
:After pointing out the various advantages which the rnetropo-
ilia would derive from its completion, the Worthy Alderman
ireracornmended it most strongly: to the support
of the Corpo:
.non.
•
Mr. OLDHAM hoped that their agreeing to this report would
not have the effect of shutting out competition, as he under-
,- stood there was a second. Joint Stock Company
,formed foe a
'similar purpose, and he was aIIXiOLAS that it this desirable im-
.:provement were not effeeted by the one, it should by the other.
It was a measure which undoubtedly was entitled to all •the
'assistance the Court could give it.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.

13LACEFRIARS-BRIDGE.
The Chairthan of the Cominittee for General Purposes
brought up the report upon the .subject of 111ackfriais-bfidge.
It set forth Mr. 3lontague.'s rePort:, stating that the carriage-
way amid he raised to its former height at die cost of 1,00 w.,
or the pavement could be lowered about a foot, and the car-
riage-way over the centre of the bridge raised about six incites,
the expence of which would be fiiiol.
The Chairman of the Committee trioVed that it be referred to
the Committee, to have the latter plan carried into effect, and
'that they be allowed to draw 500.1. froth the Chamberlain for
that purpose, ifnecessary.
A long desultory diScussion then took place,. in the course
of-which, it was inaVed as an amendment, that the' repot lie
on the table until the surveyor shall have certified that Mr.
