PROPOSED REFORM IN THE PRINCIPAL

CITY COMPANIES.

The following is the copy of a requisition to the Lord
Mayor. It was intended to have been presented to the present
Lord Mayor ; but it was considered that his Lordship might
refuse to call a Common Hall, and that it would be better to
defer it until his successor came into office. The requisition
and the resolutions have been forwarded to the Municipal
Commissioners, and also to Mr. Woodthorpe, the Town Clerk.

" TO TIIE RIGHT HON. THE MAYOR.
" We, the undersigned, liverymen of the city of London,
request you will be pleased to appoint an early day for the
meeting of the Livery of London, in the Guildhall of the city
of London aforesaid, to consider the propriety of adopting some
mode by which the livery of London may obtain a correct ac-
count of the receipts and disbursements of their respective
Companies ; and to ascertain by what right the self-elected
Courts of Assistants assume to themselves the power of appro-
priating the funds of the Companies to which they belong as
they think proper, to the exclusion and without rendering any
account whatever to the livery generally of their respective
Companies, to whom, and not to the Courts of Assistants,
those funds belong.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne are
expected at Lansdowne House in a fortnight from their Con-
tinental trip. The Earl and Countess of Kerry did not
accompany the Noble President of the Council to Brussels ;

Castle, and they have also made a tour of the estates of the
Noble Marquis in Ireland, whence they have returned to
Bowood Park.

Lord Ebrington intends in a short time to proceed

COLBURN'S MODERN NOVELISTS.---The No-
vember Number of this cheap and interesting Collection will
comprise Lady Morgan's last and most celebrated Irish na-
tional tale, " The O'Briens and the O'Flaherty's," a story of
deep and romantic interest, exhibiting powerful and charac-
teristic portraits of the leading Nobility of Ireland—of the do-
mestic life of her Gentry --and the manners of her peasantry ;
valuable also as an historical record of facts derived from per-
sonal acquaintance with the personages who figured both in the
Rebellion and the Union.

DESTRUCTION OF THE HOUSES OF 11

LAMENT.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
~ Of,
DUDLEY, SUNDAY, OCT. 26.—With a
ascertaining the truth or falsehood of Mr. Coopers
statements with regard to his having heard of the ;le
struction of the two Houses of Parliament in Ducb_r
on the night of Thursday the 16th (within three uce
four hours of the commencement of the fire), I 1155 b,
this day instituted the strictest inquiry upon the abut
jest ; and the result is that there can be no dot', 'do
Mr. Cooper is, to say the least of it, labouring tin
_ _

the most strange and unaccountable delusion. • or
It is true that Mr. Cooper was present in the C° of
mercial-room of the Bush Hotel between the hoors4
eight and ten o'clock on the night in question, hut t,ijo,
appears to be about the only truth to which he
tu,le
posed. I have the authority of Mr. Cartwright, •
landlord of the Bush ; Mr. Riddle, a commercial ge ,11,
tieman of Dudley ; and Sarah Taylor, the waiter, lud
stating the following facts :—Mr. Riddle was, indo,'
examined before the magistrates (T. Badger
Mollineux) yesterday, and his deposition, together is„o
that of the girl Taylor, were subsequently transmitteae'a
the Lords of the Privy Council. Mr. Riddle dcP°Aslr,
to this effect : On the Thursday in question, he ( it
R.) arrived by Eaves's coach from Birmingham' k,
the Bush Hotel in Dudley, about eight o'clocil
On his arrival he ordered his supper, and stria
the room for about an hour ; he then absented hint'
self, having to . visit the Dudley's Arms Hotel,
about half an hour. On his return to the Commere'lit,
room at the Bush, a gentleman, who Mr. Cartwrisld
the landlord, says, was Mr. Cooper, had just arrl',o
by the Tally-ho from Birmingham. The coach te,
then standing at the door. This was about a qualm,
before ten o'clock.. Mr. Cooper ordered his tea •r
mediately ; and in the course of about an hour rei'drie
to bed. During the whole of this time Mr. as
was in the room, and he declares, and so he tits
sworn, that not a single word of conversation relai;ce
to tiny
,fire in London, or anywhere else, took_ ft
between any of the parties. The next morning !Wei,
breakfasted about eight, with one or two other g to
tlemen. When lie had finished, he again went„iPist
the Dudley h a'l., Arms Hotel. This was about -,1,;1,.
nine on Friday morning. Mr. Smith, the l/wwii of
met him in the hall, and said, " Have you he
the Houses of Lords and Commons being on 'r,-,;a•
He replied "No !"--(This proved that the CO iii
tion stated by Mr. Cooper could not have oeciirre
The
his hearing at the Bush the previous night.) After
intelligence arrived by the mail that morning- I.lr,
a few minutes' conversation with Mr. Smith' or
Riddle returned to the Bush, where there were f°ll ar
five breakfasting in the commercial-room. Thcier doper
be no doubt that it was on this occasion Mr. 'arter
must have first heard of the fire ; being about B,`,l"botit
before ten o'clock on Friday morning, instead 0' 3
a quarter before ten o'clock on Thursday night;„., Pot
It will be recollected that Mr. Cooper, In l'i'there
examination before the Privy Council, stated that
stir,
was a gentleman in the room on the night in god oat
who called for the bootjack" and slippers ;that he
when the boots came in, the gentleman foinvi ost`
was wearing shoes, which, he said, was very
with him. The circumstance caused a laugh iii

top,
The Attorney-General has given instructions oole
Twamley, solicitor, of Dudley, to investigate the ,jr.
affair ; and, under the direction of that gentleina°o'er of
Riddle, Sarah Taylor, and Mr. Dealey, a east° doll'
Mr. Cooper's, leave this town to-morrow for 1-,„°otocil
and expect to be examined before the Privy titioo-e4
on Tuesday (this day). Letters have likewise Ow lire
the traveller for Messrs. Harford, requesting of belt',
mediately to repair to London, for the purpose °
subjected to a similar examination. lb
Mr. Cooper's testimony is laughed at Oil°
both in Birmingham and Dudley.

(FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) the
It was confidently expected that the Lords °f the
Privy Council would assemble again to-morrol,
day), for the purpose of resuming the interesuerbo
quiry that has latterly occupied thcir attentiono's got
up to a late hour last evening, no instruct° lie
issuing the necessary summonses had been gi'et°o‘f
believe that this delay is occasioned by the b
faC; (I''
Commissioner, who we yesterday stated had
patched to Dudley, not having returned in s- lcle ,
sof
fr
time, and some of the more important members :
Council being obliged to visit and rernauld fori;,
country. Summonses, however, were is,suedoe°,,,'
Council at St. James's, to be held on P e is
next, at two o'clock, when the Recorder 'S reai°brosi9,esej
be received, and a vast deal of other ofnei 00'1,
transacted, preparatory to his Majesty's c"
sojourn at Brighton. The number of Bill. Lit;
lors who are required to attend on that day isit is stll(e
lieve, greater than on similar occasions ; t;sl
posed that the information already ,:c%"e
Committee of their Lordships, which sat chow'ro'prie,r

and necessity of continuing the investigation t°
