UNCLAIMED BANK DIVIDENDS.

Alderman COPELAND presented a petition from Jo-
seph Ady, of unclaimed dividend notoriety, complaining
that the attorneys of the Mayor's Court had refused to
bring an action for him against the person who detained
his books and other documentary matter connected with
his business, and praying that the Court of Aldermen
would brine the said attorneys to a sense of their duty

to the public.
Alderman COPELA ND said that the matter de-
manded inquiry, the same time that he had no idea
of impugning the conduce of the Mayor's Court attor-
ueys. He hal, since he presented a petition from Mr.
Ady on a former day, received se7eral letters from the
country, assuring him, that if it had not been for Mr.
Ady many unclaimed dividends would never have
imbed the parties entitled to them.
Toe petition was referred to the Committee of Ge-
neral purposes.—Adjourned.

A PRIEST'S OPINION OF ST.

PAUL'S.

It has been observed, as a circumstance full of meaning
that no man knows the names of the architects of our ca-
thedrals. They left no record of their names upon the
fabrics, as if they would have nothing there that could
suggest any other idea than the glory of that God to
whom the cd,fices were devoted for perpetual and. iso-
lemn worship—nothing to mingle a meaner assaosciiaft oi a

would make, and can never select for it a higher pur-
pose than that of a national gallery, dedicated to the
memory of illustrious statesmen, gallant admirals, and
doughty field-marshals. We cannot even think of
poets, and never look at Samuel Johnson in the charac-
ter of Hercules without being almost as indignant al
