gress of the Russian Navy, which is very striking in the
continued important armaments. The writer, as an eye-
witness, gives an extremely favourable account of the
new arrangements. He says that all the sailors
are well practised in the use oe ;
the upper tier of large ships consists ofth guns
fine brass
guns (12 pounders) with percussion locks, and in the
lower tier brass 49 pounders, in which the percussion
cap is struck with a hammer. During the last year new
and admirably equipped ships are launched almost every
month. Equally favourable are the accounts of the fine
harbours and arsenals on the Black &a.

(We have received Dutch papers to the 27th
inst. They state that the question for the levy
of the national militia for 1834, has been car-
ried by a majority of 31 to 19. Or:e of the
Members of the States General ( H

are toiling daily for the means of paying
off the incumbrance produced by the "glorious
wars" of our predecessors, and who are now
almost ready to submit to indignities rather
than add to our national burdens, the words
which we have quoted in italics must be musical
in our ears if we are liberal enough to take
pleasure in witnessing enjoyments in which we
are not able to participate.

The result of the ballot in the French
Chamber of Deputies, on Thursday last, for the
fourth Vice-President, shows how erroneously
some of our contemporaries had made their
inferences of the strength of the Ministry in
the Chamber from the election of the President,
or rather the rejection of the Ultra-Liberal can-
didates who were opposed to him. On Thurs-
day, on the election of the fourth Vice-President,
the numbers were, for M. BERENGER, a gen-
tleman of juste-milieu politics, but personally
obnoxious to the Ministry from his independent
spirit, 165; and for M. PERSIL, the Attorney-
General, 98. To account for this defeat, the
partisans of the Ministry say that no Ministerial
support was given to M. PERSIL, as he had
rendered himself very unpopular by his recent
proceedings, and the Government hoped to
lose a little of their own unpopularity by re
fusing to support their late instrument as a can-
didate for the Vice Presidency of the Chamber.
This, however, is not a very probable statement.
As we were unwilling to allow that the rejection
of LAFAYETTE was a proof of the strength of
the French iVlinistry in the Chamber, so we will
admit that their weakness is not to be interred
from the election of M. BERENGER to the
Vice-Presidency; but there is one very im-
portant indication of the feeling of the Cham-
ber in this result. M. PERSIL is known to
have recommended a projet de Loi, proposed be
the Attorney-Ger►eral. Is it not reasonably
to suppose that as the Chamber have rejected
M. PERSIL for what he has done against the
Press with the existing laws, they will refuse to
invest him and his employers with new powers
to prevent the expression of public opinion.
There is a great disposition in the Chamber to
support the present system of Government, so far
as the Monarchy is concerned, but we trust that
a large majority of Deputies will be found to re-
sist any attempt to legalize the arbitrary conduct
of the Ministers. Some of the Deputies appear
to have had a most fortunate escape from death
or serious injury on Monday evening. Just as
the sitting had ended, the great and beautiful
chandalier, which lighted the ball, fell from the
ceiling, and was broken into a thousand pieces on
the benches which the Members had fortunately
just quitted.

The accounts from Spain are rather -of a
mixed character, but the balance is certainly in
favour of the Queen's Goiernment ; for although
the rebel bands are still numerous, they are no
where in sufficient force to excite much uneasi-
ness. It is stated, however, in a letter from
Bayonne, that the Spanish army are strongly
inclined for a Constitution, and that as soon as
they shall have subdued the rebels they will dic-
tate and enforce the adoption of a more liberal
system upon the Regent. The same letter
states that MORENO had entered Spain from Por-
tugal at Ayamonte, with a considerable force,
and that he had been joined by 1,000 of the
young men of the country. It is stated in
Madrid letters that the Curate MERINO and the
Bishop of LEON had escaped into Portugal ; and
they mention the destruction by the Carlists of
a small pleasure farm or country-house of the
QUEEN REGENT, situate within 50 miles of the
capital.
All

cne accounts from the Continent lead to a
belief that the Emperor of RUSSIA. will be firm
in his determination not to revoke the treaty into
which he has entered with the Porte ; and an
article from Berlin states, that Prussia is asto-
nished at the preparations of Great Britain and
France, and resolved, as wlell as Austria, to ad-
here to the policy of the Potentate of the North.
If all this be true, and really one can hardly
conceive, as far as Russia is concerned, that so
much has been done progressively towards a
particular object only for her to stop short at the
moment when that object is almost within her
grasp—the difference can only be decided by
a war, or by a concession on the part
of the British and French Cabinets as in-
jurious as it would be base. On the other
hand, however, we are told here by the
immediate friends of Lord PALMERSTON
and those few persons to whom the Prince de
TALLEYRAND chooses sometimes to be com-
municative that there is not the slightest danger
of war—that there will be mutual concession, and
that by such concession peace will not only be
maintained, but the relations between the great
Powers of Europe be placed on such a basis as
to make the duration of peace certain for at least
twenty or thirty years. We confess we do not
know what is meant by mutual concession.

States, and by intrigues and menaces prevent

and Belgium, the establishment of a Constitution

" London has been moulded on the basis of trade and
commerce ; it is fitted admirably as it stands for those great
Purposes; almost all the vast wealth that has been accu-
mulated in this country has been realised by citizens of ,
London."

We had always imagined that the old streets
of London were made narrow partly because
the limited nature of the traffic carried on in
them did not require them to be made broader,
but mainly because as many houses as possible
might be built, or "moulded," as we suppose
we must call it in future, within the protection
of the City walls. We humbly acknowledge our
mistake, and feel satisfied that the " moulders"
of the west end of the town, the builders of
squares, crescents, and streets, admitting of any
vehicle wider than a wheelbarrow, have com-
mitted a capital blunder. Towards the wind up
of his jeremiad the Herald says, " We hope the
destruction of the Church 9f England
not be at the bottom of this
plot." trust

plaat" by reminding our contemporary that this
"revolutionary scheme" of pulling down churches,

When St. Katharine's Dock was constructed, y. a
Church was obliged to be pulled down, that its
.ite m;gbt be desecrated by the spade --anci—th-e-

which the projected improvements may renderit
necessary to demolish, and they do not amount
to half the number referred to by the Herald, it
may not be generally known that few of them have
a congregation exceeding two dozen persons,
and many of them not half that number. The
demolition of an old building is at all times a
subject of regret and pain, but both must be
endured if the comfort, convenience, or profit of
mankind requires the sacrifice. No apprehension
need be entertained that in the present instance
the inhabitants of the City will be left withou' a sufficient number of places of worship.

Brussels Papers of Friday arrived last nip.
They state that a private letter from St. Peters,
burgh says the Emperor of RUSSIA is firmly re.
solved not to yield to the solicitations or threats
of France and England, and not to change a
syllable in the treaty he has concluded with the
Porte. General GOBLET, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, has resigned, and been replaced
by M. F. de ME RODE. It is thought that more
extensive changes in the Cabinet are upon the
eve of taking place.

CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION
COMMISSION. -( THIS DAY. )

The Commisioners, at___ ten o'clock this morning, re-
sumed their adjourned investigation.
Sir F. PALGRAVE, in the absence of Mr. Blackburne,
the Chief Commissioner, took the chair.
The evidence adduced on former days of the inquiry
was then read, and the opinions of Mr. Woodthorpe,
Town Clerk, and Mr. Newman, City Solicitor, -taken,
particularly in reference to the election of Aldermen and
Common Council.
Mr. Woodthorp gave it as his opinion that although
the members of the Common Council now and always had
amounted to 240, yet there was no law to prevent their
increasing the number to 250. Indeed he thought they
had a general power of controlling the numbers as well as
the internal conduct, &c., of their own body.
Mr. Newman considered that the Common Council
could not decrease their number under 240, but the bad
the power to increase it to 250. y
The Commissioners then proceeded to collect evidence
relative to the appointment of the Steward of Southwark,
and the authority of his deputies.
