JOHNSON, MAYOR.

ACOMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Cham-
ber of the Guildhall, in the City of London, on THURSDAY, the
12th day of February, 1846..
Resolved,—'ghat while this Court is desirous to record its cordial
and entire approbation of thecomprehensiVii, just, awl wise measures
introduced to the Commons House of rudiment by the First
Slinister of the Crown, for the revision of our commercial policy,
and are gratified to learn that a repeal of the Corn-laws is also pro-
posed, although at a future time, it cannot but express an earnest
hope that the total and immediate repeal of those laws may yet be
proposed and carried, instead of deforring such a positive good for a
period of three years.
liesolved,—That this Court is of opinion that the removal of all
prohibitory duties upon the importation of food and other necessary
articles is eminently osculated to promote the agricultural, com-
mercial, and social interests of the people, by improving their
pit) deal. condition, and thus advancing their intellectual and in :rat
habits. _ _

.....
Ressived,—That, therefore, to delay the final repeal of the Corn-
laws for a period of three years is au evil, and necessarily tends to
introduce uncertainty into an important branch of commerce, to in-
jure commerce in general, to procrastinate agricultural improve-
ment, and thus prevent the sop ieation of science to the better cul-
tivation of the land, by which the English farmer, without pro-
tection, will be able successfully to compete with the lofting
grower.
Resolved,—That a petition be presented to Parliament, founded
upon these resolutions, and praying for the total and Immediate
repeal of the Corn-laws.
Resolved,—That a copy_of these resolutions be forwarded to the
Representatives of this City in Parliament, with the expression of
a lops that they will support the measures introduced by her Ma-
jesty's Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, for the repeal of the Corn-
laws and the remission of taxation, and avail themselves of any
opportunity which may present itself, and which, without preju-
dicing the measures introduced by , Sir Robe• t Peel, may have
for its object the total and immediate repeal of the laws imposing
any duty or restriction upon the importation of corn'or provisions
of any kind.

IMMEDIATE REPEAL OF• THE CORN-LAWS.
A Court of Common Council was held yesterday, at which,
among other business, Mr. Wire brought forward a series of
resoluiions bearing on the immediate repeal of the corn-laws,
feunded on a requisition signed and sent into the Lord Mayor
by a majority of the Common Council. •
-The Irish Society, and the nomination of members to act
upon it, occupied the attention of the Court for some'time,
but this having been disposed ot,
The Lorin MAYOR ordered the clerk to read the requisi-
tion sent in to him by the Members of the Council, praying
him to call a meeting of the Court on an early day, to con-
sider the propriety of petitioning. Parliament for the imme-
diate repeal of the corn-laws.
Mr. HARRISON did not think the course pursued by the Lord
Mayor was regollr, as other besi less hid been named to the
court, and he therefore moved that the requisition 'should not
he taken into consideration. Mr. Harrison, howefer,' ulti-
mately withdrew this, after he hid created much confu.ion.
Mr. LAWRENCE proposed that the requisition should be
received.

The RECORDER was sure that the Lord Mayor had not re-
collected, if he was ever aware of, the notice given in the paper
by Mr. Wire, that the petition should be taken into eensidera-
tion by the Court immediately after the business of the Irish
Society had been closed.
Mr. WIRE said he confessed, after having on so late
an occasion requested his Lordship's attention, and the at-
tention of the Court, to the same question, he would at
that time have sat down after simply reeding the
resolutions founded •on the requiiition, but for the
peculiar position which the question at present oc-
cupied. Ile would, however, say a few words, and but a
few, in support of the subject, lest the Honourable Gentle-
men, if any there were in that Court—( Great laughter,
which continued for some time ; when it had subsided, Mr.
Wire continued)--the Honourable Gentlemen, if any there
were in that Court, who opposed the petition, might say that
the supporters of that petition had contributed neither facts,
feelings, nor reason, in favour of their cause.—(Hear, hear.)
He would not, however, detain them long, especially after-
a resolution had been passed by that Court, expressing their
comrnisscration with the depressed circumstances of the
people of Ireland, and their opinion that it was the
duty of the Legislature to take the facts into their
consideration in order to devising a speetty remedy.—( Hear,
hear.) That Court had always been forward in the cause of
the people and of commerce, and it stood, therefore, at that
moment in a position more enviable than the Commons House
of Parliament. From time to time they had expressed their
mind on the advantages that would accrue to the nation from
free trade, the truth of v!hich was now admitted on all 'hands.
And in the Parliament the leaders on both sides of the House
deemed that that was a system which ought to regulate all their
commercial transactions. The benefits to be derived from
the adoption of it were not only now admitted in the House
of Commons—the admission pervaded the whole people. The
conviction which that admission argued has not produced so much
in consequence of the scarcity of food, as that the people now
began to understand that great question. He felt it unne-
cessary, thereto: e, for him to adduce arguments before the Court
in support of free trade, and the more especially after the con-
duct of Sir Robert Peel. The Right flon. Gentleman at, the
head of the Government had earned a debt of gratitude from all
parties ; the first Minister of the Crown had come forward
and said that the time of restriction was at an end, and not
only on food, but generally on trade.— (hear.) They could
not, however, be satisfied that that measure had been deferred
for three years. He thought that that Court, while it spoke
of Sir Robert Peel in terms of praise and gratitude, would
nevertheless ask him to repeal the corn-laws immediately.—
( Cheers.) Ile did not wish to weary the Court with argu-
ments ; he would reserve himself fur reply, in case any objec-
tions should be urged against the resolutions which he would
now submit to the Court. He then read resolutions approving
of the comprehensive measures of Sir Robert Peel on com-
merce, and for the repeal of the corn-laws, but deprecating
the repeal of the latter being deferred, and pledging the Court
to draw up a petition to Parliament, praying for their imme-
diate and total abolition.

Mr. DUNCAN, in seconding the resolutions, spoke of the
evils which had arisen from the laws in question, and the pro-
spects there were of increased trade with the States of America
and the Zollvercin, in case of their abolition.
On the RECORDER having read the resolutions,
Mr. Putttirs thought it appeared an extraordinary thing
that Mr. Wire should bring in resolutions, thanking Sir Robert
Peel for what he had granted, and then praying him to grant
the same. As far as the time was concerned, he thought Sir
Robert was the best judge himself, and therefore would move
as an amendment that the word " immediately" should be left
out of the resolutions.

No seconder having been found, the amendment fell to the
ground.
Mr. LAWRENCE was pleased with the introduction of
the resolutions, and therefore he would vote for them,
at least for part of them. (He then read the first
part of the first resolution, as far as it approved of Sir
Robert's measures en commerce and the corn-laws, and here
stopped.) For that part of the resolutions he would vote with
pleasure, and moved the same as an amendment.--(Laughter. )
The resolutions were admirably drawn up—(Laughter)—and
well expressed. Yet surely members recollected that not long
ago the question had been argued most fully in that Court,
and it was carried by a large majority that a petition should
be laid before the Queen on that very subject. Since that
was passed, the Minister of the Crown had presented to Par-
liament a series of measurers ; and these were not on corn
only, for he had opened the question of free trade. Notwith-
standing that, here came more resolutionson the corn-laws. He
was amazed at his Hon. Friends that they did not, as the
Americans say, go the while hog.—( Laughter.) Why would
they not take the protective duty off silk? %'hy not
that which was on brandy ? And on glass?—(Cries of " Sir
Robert will.") Sir Robert Peel had given notice of his inten-
tion at a future period of admitting timber duty free, but why
not immediately as well as the corn-laws ? He had no doubt
but that Sir Robert had used sound discretion in not taking
the duty off at once. It had been said that the state of the po-
tato crop had precipitated the measure. Hetelieved that im-
mediate repeal, were it carried, would benefit the people in the
article of food v, ry little, and it would produce great evil to the
relations that subsisted between landlord and tt-nant.—( Hear,
hear.) In taking the ground he did, he was consistent, for
on the former occasion, when the resolution was moved
for the repeal of the law, he had made an amendment
for ultimate repeal preceded by a small restriction of ss. duty.
If Sir Robert Peel had come down and taken his advice, he
could not have devised a measure to much in accordance with
his opinion. He said great things had been held out to them
by his friend the seconder of the resolution. He had assured
them that the United States would open their trade to them,
on condition that this country did a certain thing ; he had
vouched the same thing for the states of the Zollverein, but he
(Mr. Lawrence) had nothing more for these assertions than
the fact that his friend had made them. (When he had read
the portion of the resolution which he moved, Mr. Lawrence
resumed his seat.)

Mr. JONES seconded the amendment. He said, gentlemen
had talked of what had been done on former occasions by that
Court. He would read to them an extract from the minutes
in the year 1840. (He here read a motion for Tree trade which
was male and lost, in favour of an amendment, part of which
he read, but as he was about to stop, he was met by loud cries '
of " Read on, read on," and he thus proceeded with the
amendment :—" Though aware of all these, yet that they felt
it needless to pray that House as it is at present constituted.")
—( Great laughter at the gentleman's mistake.) He (Mr.
Jones) wished to be consistent himself, and he wished the
Court to be consistent also. He for one could not petition for
an immediate repeal. He knew something of both those
classes which were concerned in the question, and he for one
would not be a party to the law which sought the advantage of
the one class and the oppression of the other. If
Lord John Russell and his friends had, at a meeting
held to take the matter into private consideration, come to the
conclusion that it was impatic to interfere with the measures
of Sir Robert Peel, why should that Court interfere ? If the
Court would support Sir Robert he would go hand-in-hand
with it. But it had been said, and there was ground for it,
that the citizens were too busy with their interference in
polities.—( Hear and laughter. )
A Commorr COUNCILMAN was anxious that the Court
should not sanction the resolutions, but that they would adopt
the amendment, for ho would be sorry, if they possessed any
influence, to throw their influence into the scale, and by em-
barrassing Sir Robert Peel prevent the repeal of the corn-

the former system, and not trained to the change, would accept
nothing but money in return for corn, which would cause a
drain upon the Exchequer.
Mr. Mortals said his lion. Friend had no objection to free
trade, only he could not rid himself of a small portion of the
old lumbering system. Therefore it was that he (Mr. Norris)
was anxious to call the attention of the Court to that feature of
the question, that in the petition they expressed themselves
anxious as the representatives of the largest city in the world
to give Parliament their support ; and in doing so, they in-
formed Parliament, they were desirous that their conduct and
intention was not to embarrass Sir Robert Peel. His friend
had said that no corn could be brought in at 4s. duty. Taking
his statement as true, what was the effect? Why, that was the
state of things the first year ; in the second year those who had
corn were bribed by a four-shilling premium to keep it up.—
( Rear, hear.) They would do the same on the third year, and
so it would accumulate, yielding no benefit for the time, and to
deluge the market at the close of the period.--( Hear, hear.)
It was all a delusion and a fear. Gentlemen would see that,
if they looked back to the experiment that was tried on trade
in 1642. When that experiment was in agitation, the
same party in the State, the same party in the coun-
try, the same interest, cried out that great would be
the ruin that would follow from the new tariff. Yet
prices had been better from 1842 to 1845 than
they had been for twenty years before. Alarmists, therefore,
were only carrying out this principle in the present opposition.
The question before the meeting was whether they would sup.
port Sir Robert Peel's measures, or whether they would pe-
tition for immediate repeal. Since this new experiment had
been advertised, no person, not even at any of the agricul- '
tural meeting!, had said one word in favour of this now fea-
ture of the measure. Agriculturists all said, rather take pro-
tection away at once and entirely.
After some re:narks from another Councilman in favour of
the petition,
I Mr. Write rose to reply. He said he would not detain
the Court long, but he wou'd notice one or two of the
remarks which bad fallen from the mover ard seconder
of the amendment. One of them said, "I am con•
sistent, because on a former occasion I advocated a fixed
duty." question before them now was very different
from that alluded to. Then it was not for a repeal of the
corn.laus ; it was a petiticn to the Queen for the opening of
the ports, because a great part of that food, on which the
people of Ireland, and of Scotland, and England depend was
in a great measure destroyed. It was a wise and salutary
movement that, on such an occasion. But if the gentleman
would speak of his consistency, he (Mr. Wire) must say he
too was consistent, and he loped the Court would preserve its
consistency by passing the revolutions. In 18( 9he found, from
the minutes of the Court, they then condemned the corn-laws,
and why should they not go now ar.d request the present House
of Commons to repeal them ? In 1840 he found them repeat
the same opinion on free trade. He was sure his friend, Mr.
Jones had not, read the whole of that minute before he began

to quote it so much to the frustration of his own purprg.e.
When had these laws been a benefit ? They had a Noble Lord

standirg up in Parliament and declaring his experience of their
effect ; he said he had sold corn under their reign at. from 50s.
up to 705., and all the effect he had known to have been pro-
duced during that period on the condition of his labourers was,
that their wages, from being Bs., had become 9s. Not-
withstanding that such a difference had occurred in the
prices of food--(Hear, bear)—some of the gentlemen bad
said that the present 15113 not the time for the resolutions.

When they resolved to petition the Queen on the opening o
the ports, they had done so under imperious necessity—( Hear,
hear)—and that necessity was not lessened. He hoped that
his Hon. Friends would be consistent with themselves, and,
by adopting the resolution•, act promptly in a case which ad-
mitted of no delay. _

The RECORDEA read the amendment, and put it to the
Court, but it was lost by a large majority.
The resolutions for immediate repeal of the corn-laws, for
the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons, and for the
presentation of that petition by the Representatives of the City,
were then rut and carried seriatum by a vast majority.
' Mr. Virus then moved that the resolutions should appear in
all the morning and evening papers, which was accordingly
passed.
Mr. WIRE moved that the Recorder should be requested
to support the petition in hii place in the House.
This was received with shouts of laughter. When it had
subsided,

The RECORDBIL said he would do so when be was requested
by his constituency.
After s"me other business, the Court adjourned.

MONEY MARK ET and CITY NE WS.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The Money Market remains in the same unsatisfactory
state as it respects commercial discounts, in consequence of the cer•
tainly unexpected and unnatural state of things produced by the
locking up of the railway deposits. As matters now stand, the dis-
count business of the country may he said to be literally under the
control of the Bank of England, and for the first time since the pass-
ing of the Banking Acts has the principle come into practical opera-
tion. It is almost needless to say that this is a state of things for
which the bankers throughout the country were not prepared, nor
from the antecedent circumstances had they any right to expect it.
It was universally concluded that'as soon as the railway deposits
were passed to the Accountant-Gen ral, all the difficulty was got
over, and that their immediate investment in public securities
would restore the equilibrium that had for a short time been
disturbed. Nobody seemed to anticipate that circumstances would
arise to prevent the railway Committees from so investing their
funds, and thereby laying the commercial interest prostrate at the
discretion of the Directors of the Bank of England. However de-
sirous the Bank Directors may be to extend accommodation, as far
as circumstances will justify them, it is utterly impossible that such a
concentration can work satisfactorily throughout the country, sup-
posing they make use of all the appliances furnished them by their
branches in the provinces. It is doubtful, however, if the Directors
are in every instance exercising their immense power for the bcmfit
of the community on an enlarged principle. We are given to under-
stand that the provisional committees of some of the railway Com-
panies have offered the Bank their deposits, at a rate of interest not
exceeding 3 per cent., for six mouths certain, or even a shorter
period, and that this offer Dm Directors have declined. New,
as far as this goes, it would have removed all uncertainty
about the Bank retaining the control of the money in
point of time, and which uncertainty, without such an as-
surance, is ascribed as a cause for the Bank restricting their
loans and discounts to such short periods as they have been hitherto
doing. It Is true that yesterday and to-day the Directors have in
some cases extended their accommodation on loan and discount to a
month, instead of fourteen days; but that is too short a time to
enable merchants to enter into the most ordinary engagements, and
theresult is that all business is limited nearly to current consumption.
The literal condition of the market is, that unless parties have credit
with their bankers money is not to be obtained on any terms on
long dated bills, dock warrants, &c., the discount houses that usually
transact such business being completely at a stand-still. At the
time the payment of the railway deposits was made, the banks of
issue in the provinces had left themselves little room for further ex-
pansion, and the restrictions imposed by the Banking Acts preclude
all relief from that source. The matter has indeed become so serious
as to demand the immediate attention of Ministersrwho, to do them
justice, could, no more than other persons, have a priori contemplated
such a state of things, in the absence of all speculation in commercial
Ries.

On Saturday last, Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster
terminated a very successful engagement at Edinburgh, by
playing some of their most popular pieces, for their joint benefit.
The theatre was crowded to exces4, and at the close of the
performance they were twice called before the curtain, an
occurrence unprecedented in modern Athens. They are now
performing at Carlisle, and on Monday next Aladame Celeste
resumes her character of Mazourki, in Taming a Tartar, at
the Adelphi, where she appears to greater advantage than in
any other position.
PEERS AND PARVENUS.—AIes. Gore's forthcoming
novel is said to contain the parallel history of a young noble-
man, who, as Figaro says., is fated " to have no trouble in the
world but that of coming into it," and a young man of
genius, doomed to struggle through the mortitications of a
factitious state of society in addition to the real evils of life.
The story is reported to be one of the deepest interest.
rADVERTISEMENT.I—A. NOBLE DUKE AND HOL-
LOWAY's Piu.s.— Professor Holloway has lately been
honoured by the personal thanks of one of the most
renowned Duke's of the realm, who, like the Earl
of Aldborough, has been cured of a liver and stomach
complaint of some years standing, attendant with great
weakr.ess and debility, by the means of Holloway's celebrated
Pills, and this after physicians skill vi as tried in vain. Dropiy,
paralysis, asthma, and diseases of the lungs, have nearly all
their origin in disordered livers and stomachs, which a few
timely doses of Holloway's Pills will cure.—Sold by all
dealers in Medicines and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 214, Strand, London.
The most agreeable aperient is water for those who
are subject to costiveness, bile, &C., mid are occasionally obliged to
relieve the stomach and bowels by openints medicine. but to ensure.
t o every one tt efull benefit of this natural physic, and to enable even the
infirm invalid and timid lady to resort to it without difficulty, it must
be applied with Dr. Scott's Apertive Vase, sold only at Llewellyn's
Medical Repository, 369, Strand, the third house from Exeter Ilall,
where also may be obtained the Soldiers, by which deaf persons
may magnify voices to whatever pitch is necessary. Descriptions
sent free on receipt of two postage stamps.
SUNDAY TRADING.—At a meeting held in Lambeth
parish yesterday evening, and presided over by the Rector, it was
stated by Mr. Hayman and other members of the Committee ap-
pointed to prepare a Bill for the prevention of Sunday trading, that
the Right Hon. the Home Secretary hid altogether disapproved of
the Bill. He (Sir J. Graham) said he could not understand upon
what principle the working man was to be refused his pipe of to-
bacco, his pint of beer, and the reading a newspaper on tke Sunday,
the same as the higher classes. As the Bill went to prohibit those
enjoyments, Ile certainly should not recommend it to have the sup-
' • Port of the Government. . .

' DINNER IN AID of the GERMAN
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITY AT THE
LONDON TAVERN.

This dinner came off last night with mr;ch eclat. The circumstance
of the Queen Dowager being a munificent subscriber to the charity,
coupled with that of the chair being taken this year by Daniel
O'Connell, Esq., M.P., seemed to impart to the proceedings a con-
siderable importance. At about seven o'clock nearly 150 gentlemen
sat down to dinner, and after the cloth was removed, and "Non
Nobis Dwaine" sung-- _

The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, in proposing the first toast I may
guess that you cagily anticipate What it is I am about to say, and
also that you will join with me in loyalty towards that most illus-
trious personage of the realm. Certainly, to look on her in a dis-
interested point of view, as the fond wife,—the tender mother—the
amiable Sovereign, faultless and blameless, nay, her enemies know
not where slander itself can assail her; her political enemies, if she
has such, they cannot say that she has gone beyond the limits of
sovereign authority. This In itself is sufficient for me to call on you
to drink the health of "The Queen." Drank with nine times nine.—
Air, " God save the Queen."
The CHAIRMAN Gentlemen, the next toast that I am particularly
jsotrhilfe‘,v
called on to propose to you is that of Prince' Albert, the Prince of
Wales, and the rest of the RoYal'Prunily. Every one of you will

respectful. As to the Prince Of ilWalesc' he is yet too young
to eo much good, but he is to., its„. if in nothing else
than the heir to the throne, as long as it pleases Providence to spare
his life and the lives of the children of our Illustrious Queen he and
they are our sure protectors from the ferocious crew that, in the
event of their succession to the throne of these realms, must lead
mankind back into anarchy. Gentlemen, •I give you, " Prince
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the ref t of the Royal Family." Drunk
with three times three. Air—" We hail thee, Prince Albert."
The Cuantsras —Gentlemen, the next toast I give you is the health
of the Emperor of Austria. Ile has particular claims on the people
whose religious charity we have met to support. There are other
gentlemen in this room who know what it is to possess fnedum— the
freedom that the Emperor of Austria's subjects enjoy : I enter not-
into the politics of other German Princes—into the politics of those
kings who strive by force, by violence, by anarchy, to destroy liberty
of conscience—it is dear to every man In every clime, and as that
Sovereign is the friend of liberty, I give you, "The Emperor of
Austria and the rest of the German Sovereigns." Drunk with three
times three. Air—Austrian March.
The Rev. and Right Hon. Count Berzini said—Gentlemen, I can-
not but feel exceedingly delighted and surprised by hearing the name
pronounced with such honour as you have done thrtt orthCriliperor
of Austria, my respected sovereign, and his statue so spoken of in
this great and respectable assembly, presided over by the most illus-
trious man, the Mr. O'Conneil of this and all future generations—
illustrious, because his unparalleled merits in the cause of human
liberty put him before all men of this and past ages ; fOr what has
he not done for humanity and for his native country—for Ireland,
which he loves so much. Gentlemen, lam an Hungarian—a mem-
bjr of the Chamber of Peers by right of birth. I want nothing but
that which is conducive to that which I live for—the benefit of my
fellow man, particularly of my poor native Hungarians. Allow me,
with a heartfelt wish for your eternal welfare, to thank you for your
philanthropic display to-night. As It is in Hungary, su in Ireland—
we have moss-covered•hills, and our people from their summits shall
pray for the religious as well as civil emancipation of the human
race.—(Cheers.)
The Client/tux—The next toast I have on my list is the " Catholic
Bishop of London and his Clergy," who have been ever foremost in
works of charity, without prejudice =without party influence. lie
has ever exerted himself in the cause of common charity. Long may
the Bishop of London and his clergy continue in such noble work in
endeavouring to alleviate human suffering—in spreading the cause
of charity, unpersecuted as well as unpensioned by any state. Their
kingdom is of another world—a higher and a nobler aim. Gentlemen,
I give you the " Catholic Bishop and Clergy of London."

Drank with three times three.
Here a letter of his Lordship's was read, inclosing a subscription
of~l.
The Rev. Mr. O'NEtt spoke to the toast at some length.
After many other excellent speeches, and it being announced that
with the donation of 251. from the Queen Dowager, 101. 10s. from
another benevolent party, and a collection of 1261. made at the
dinner, the Chairman retired about eleven o'clock.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the
present week have been somewhat on the increase,. the show of sam-
ples was by no means large ; still, however, the demand for that
article was very dull, at barely but at nothing quotable beneath Mon-
day's prices. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been rather
-Milted. Selected parcels free of duty were held at very high rates,
mt parcels under bond were almost nominal in• value. The Barley
rade was in a very depressed state at, in some instances, a further
Iceline in prices of Is. per quarter. The Malt trade was, again very
lull, and the, secondary parcels ware selling at somewhat easier
arms. Oats Were exceedingly heavy, at the late depression. Beans,
and:FlOur a mere drug.
