COURT OF ALDERMEN.-
=On Tuesday the first Court after the holidays was held.
THE LORD MAYOR -CONSERVANCY OF THE UPPER PART

OF THE TFIANES.
The report of the Lord Mayor's visit to Oxford, and
hia conservancy trip in the western district within his
jurisdiction, was brought up and read.
The following are extracts. We exclude a good deal
of matter descriptive of the exceedingly warm reception
given to his Lordship and the numerous party by which
he was accompanied, at Oxford and other places to which
the visit was extended. Atter having described the ele-
gant hospitality with which Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, of
Bareldon House, entertained his Lordship and party,
the report in substance goes on thus:—
On Friday. morning, the- 7th of August, the Lord
Mayor was, joined, at Reading by Thomas Raymond
Barker, Esq., the chairman of the commissioners of the
Thames navigation, and also by the Mayor of Reading,
and embarked on board the state barge soon after eight
o'clock. A large number of the inhabitants of the town
were assembled on the banks to witness his Lordship's
departure, and a considerable company were on board a
barge decorated with Bags- and garlands of flowers,
and attendcd by a• band of music, who accom-
panied the Lord Mayor nearly as far as Henley.
During the progress down the river Mr. Barker ex-
plained to the Lord. Mayor the various works for the
improvement of the navigation which had been executed
by the commissioners since Alderman Wilson's view,
and Particularly the new bridge ar.d high towing-bridge
just completed :thrive Henley lt
appears that the Kennet and Avon Canal is now used in

pi eference to the Thames and Severn Canal, as a-more
desirable communiestiun between London and Bristol,
in cons,quence of the present improved state of the
navigation in the upper districts, and when the import-
ance of trade, by rail and navigation, between the citie)
of London and Bristol, and the adjoining counties and
districts, is duly considered, and how essential it is to
the interests of all parties concerned that every facility
should he afforded to retain and, if possible, increase the
same, which can only be done by maintaining the line
in the most efficient gate, and by suitable modification
and reduction of tolls where it presses heavily on the
public, it becomes obvious that surveys of a similar
nature to the present, having fur their view those
desirable objects, are requisite and important, as well
as tend to keep up. a friendly communication and in-
tercourse between the local commissioners and the
magistrates of the Corporation of London, rho, by
virtue of their office, under the authority of Parha-
m( nt, are likewise commissiorers of the upper districts
of the river Than .:s as batbre stated. The Lord Mayor,
as c +nservator of the river Thames, feels it his duty to
draw the park-ajar attention of the c;eirt to the various
Acts of Parliament which have been passed from time to
dine for Ire improvement of the navigation of the rivers
Thames and Isis, and more particularly those of the 1 Ith
tLe. 111., cap. 45, and the 35th Geo. M., cap. 106,
under the provisions of which the Lord Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of London f.ir the time being are
constituted and appointed Commissioners of the upper
districts from the City of London to the town of Crick-
lade, in the county of Wilts, feeling fully confident that
unless the navigation in those districts is properly a'-
tended to, the lucks and other works kept in good order
and repair, and suitable reductions made in the tolls and
lock-charges, it will be impossible for the barge-owners
successfully to compete with the carriage of goods and
merchandise by means of railway, and that consequently
all interests connected with the abase portion of this
noble river must be most seriously affected, if not ulti-
mately destroyed. His Lordship cannot refrain from
alluding to the statement of the Chairman of the Com-
missioners as to the necessity of reducing the tolls
on the whole line, and his hope that the private
lockholders would consent to an unanimous scale
of reduced tolls throughout the whole navigation.
The Lord Mayor has now to report that he assured Mr.
Barker that himself and his brethren, the aldermen,
would readily attend the meeting of the commissioners
whenever it was thought their attendance, advice, or
assistance would in any way tend to promote the interest,
or render any benefit to the navigation of the river.
The Lord Mayor feels he cannot conclude this report
without expressing his approbation of the general state
of the work, both in the upper and the city districts,
and of the improvements now being carried tut for the
further benefit of the navigation ; and he avails himself
of the present opportunity of conveying the assurance
of the commissioners (as expressed by their chairman)
of their satisfaction at visits like the present, which ma-
terially tend to keep up that mutual good understanding
and friendship between all parties connected with the
navigation of the river Thames. The Lord Mayor hav-
ing received from the town-clerk of Oxford a statement
of their proceedings at the coronation of King Charles
ti!e Second, on their claim to attend with the citizens of
London and assist in the King's butlerage upon that
occasion, on which they expressed in high terms the
attention they experienced from the mayor and alder-
men of London, his Lordship annexed this document to
the report.
