A letter from Alexandria of the 27th ult., in the
Cologne Gazette, says.:—" Good intelligence has
been re-established between the Ottoman Porte and
the Viceroy. Levies of troops were made, but there
was nothing extraordinary in them. SoLimeN PAcaL,
commander-in-Chief of the army, has dismissed
12,000 veterans, and is replacing them by new men;
but the army is still far from reaching the 30,000 Wen
fixed by the Ottoman Porte."

MOVEMENT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT BILL FOR

numerousßEprON'AL meetingo OF
of the rate-payers

parish was held in tSll:leisyl.A:oom
of petitioning Parliament against GovernmentP BillP forti
the removal of Smithfield-market, the Rev. James Jackson,
vicar, in the chair. The Chairman having opened the
meet-
ing a short speech, Mr. Butler, inproposing the first reso-
lution, said that the Government
measureat present before the
I
was most unconstitutional, and got up for the purpose
of centralisation, and conferring a large amount of patronage
in the shape of commissioners and other officers on the exis-
ting Government. It behoved every man in the kingdom to
protest against the Bill, for should the vested rights of the
city of London be swept away,who knows but that the Govern-
ment may claim the same privilege with the docks at Liver-
pool, or the gas works at Manchester. The way in which the
corporation Bill was swamped was, to say the least of it,
disgraceful ; circulars were forwarded to the Members to
attend on Wednesday in their places to vote against the Bill,
and he (Mr. Butler) believed that this was thefirasataocsctastiohne
that the services of a whipper-in were required to quash a
private Bill, and he would ask, who was to pay 6001. a
year to the poor-rates of the parish should the tolls be taken
from the corporation.
Resolutions protesting against
Government Bill having been passed, and a petitionote Of thanks
the Rev. Chairman left the chair, when y
was passed, and the meeting separated.
