COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of busi
ness. A sufficient number of members not having ap-
peared in the chamber at half an hour after the appoint-
ed time, according to the business paper,
Alderman SIDNEY gave notice of a motion upon the
subject, for consideration on a future• day. His impres-
sion seemed to be, that a penalty should be inflicted upon
those members who absented themselves upon any day
appointed for business, and that, as was the case in the
general run of corporations throughout the country, ab-
sence for any length of time should be visited with ex-
pulsion.
The IiECORDER cautioned the Court against entertain-
ing a question so important to the privileges of a cor-
poration essentially different from these bodies to which
Alderman Sidney alluded.
THE SEPARATE SYSTEM IN GAOLS.
When the Sheriffs were making their report of the
state of the gaols,
Sir P. LAIIRTE took occasion to represent that if 4.he—
Government intended to persevere in the eneriment of
the separate system in gaols, Bethlehem Hospital must
be enlarged, or more hospitals must be built, to meet
the increasing demand of accommodation for insane
persons. The Penitentiary, at Milbank, and the Model
Prison, at Pentonville, were fruitful sources of the men-
tal malady, while the prisons in which the separate sys-
tem was not adopted, produced no instances of insanity.
Alderman SIDNEY positively denied that Sir Peter
Laurie was supported in his violent outcry against the
separate system by credible testimony, and said that the
last report of the Inspectors of Prisons corroborated all
former evidence in favour of the effects of the expe-

riment.
Alderman GIBBS brought up the report of the Com-
mittee to whom it was referred to take into consideration
the application of the ancient Company, called the Hor-
ner's Company, for a library. It recomnrended acquies-
cence in the prayer of the petition, and was unanimously
agreed to.
