COURT OF COMIVION COUNCIL•

ary.
Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of tainto consideration a set of by-laws for the regulation o
fktihnge
port of London.
The principal rules comprised the following
improvements
—Alternate duty by the harbour-masters was abolished, the
river Thames being divided into three stations or districts,
at each of which a harbour-master is to attend constantly
to perform the duty and to take soundings. The principal
harbour-master is to have the controul of the whole of the
establishment of the harbour service and mooring-chain de'
partment and to be responsible for them.
147 colliers are to be allowed to be moored in the tiers,
and 300 clear feet of waterway to be kept, and regulations.
established for restricting the speed of the steam-vessels, and
for carrying lights upon arriving in the dark.
It is rather singular that about three years ago Alf'
Tickner, one of the Deputies of Farringdon Ward, Pr'
posed the adoption of these regulations, but ineffectuallY•
Sir John Hall, upon the failure of the attempt to make
these rules most ably and resolutely prosecuted the matter
in Parliament, and succeeded to the complete wish of the
improvers of the port of London, and the Court of Common
Council gave the finishing blow yesterday.

ON THE RECENT BEQUEST OF MR. DAY OF
£lOO,OOO to FOUND an ASYLUM for the BLIND•

Thus Providence with every stroke
Still mingles consolation kind;
The loss of Dv, which brought their woe,
Brings an Asylum for the Blind.
What, though they blessed the fatal hour
That gave such solace to their pain,
His bounty gladly they'd forego
To see the fact of Day again. W. C•
