COURT Off ALDERMEN.

A Court was held after the election of the Sheriffs was
concluded,
IMPEDIMENTS TO THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER.

Alderman CUBBIT brought up the following report :
"To THE RIGHT 110 N. THE LORD MAYOII AND COURT

OF ALDERMEN.
" In obedience to an order of this hon. (hurt of the
16th of October, 1855, to consider the letter from the
First Commissioner of Works, Btc.; relative to the pre-
sentment from the Conservancy Jury for Middlesex as
to the impediments to the navigation of the river Thames
at Battersea and Putney bridges, we whose names are
hereunto subscribed of your committee for general pur-
poses, do certify that we proceeded to consider the same,
and were attended by Mr. Remembrancer, whom we
heard thereon, and, having directed him to prepare and
send a proper answer in reply to the said letter, he has
accordingly written and sent au3.11 letter, a copy whereof
is hereunto annexed for the information of this hon.
Court.

" WILLIAM CUBBITT,
"D, W. WIRE.
" THOMAS Q. FINNIS,
"R. W. CARDER,
"R. HARTLEY KENNEDY."

" Itemembrancer's-office, Guildhall, Feb. 15.
" Sir,— I am directed by the Court of Alder-
men of the city of London to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 34 of August last, stating
that you were directed by Sir Benjamin Hall, the
Chief Commissioner of her Majesty'a Woods, &c.,
to acquaint me that be finds that the bridges at
Battersea and Putney, which are referred to in the pre-
sentment sent to him, were built under the provisions of
acts of Parliament ; that he cannot learn that any op-
position was offered to the passing of such acts by those
who had the conservancy of the Thames ; and that there
are no funds at the disposal of the department over which
he presides with which the right of the owners of the
bridges in question could be purchased. That the chief
commissioner is of opinion that if the navigation of the
river is obstructed the obstructions should be removed
by purchase or otherwise by those who have the conser-
vancy of the river, and who should not have allowed the
navigation to be interfered with.

"The Court of Aldermen desire me to inform you that
the act for building Battersea•bridge was passed in the
year 1766, 6th of George I EL, cap. 66.
" That with reference to Putney-bridge the corpora-
tion of London presented petitions against the bill to
both Houses of Parliament, and were beard by coun-
sel against the bill upon both of the petitions, but the
act passed notwitt, standing the opposition of the cor-
poration to it in all its stages.

"That with respect to Battersea bridge there do not
appear to be any entries in the journals of the corpora-
tion upon the subject of the passing of the act.
" That in the year 1721 the corporation of London
successfully opposed a bill in Parliament for building a
bridge over the river Thames at Lambeth, and they
have on other occasions successfully opposed bills in Par-
liament for bridges over the river Thames which they
considered would be injurious to the navigation of the
river.

" That almost every bridge built across the river
Thames within the jurisdiction of the corporation of
London has by their exertions to preserve the free navi-
th. hnilt with arches of greater
height than would otherwise have been done.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" E. TYRRELL, Remembrancer.
" Mr. J. Thornborrow."

The document was ordered to be entered in the jour-
nals of the Court, and after the announcement of the
election of the sheriffs the Court adjourned.

MISS BURDETT COUTTS AND TBE KNOW-
LEDGE OF "COMMON THINGS'."

Miss Burdett Coutts is very laudably labouring to
diffuse a knowledge of what are called "common things"
(but not the less important for being common) among
schoolmistresses and female pupil•teachers. On Saturday
week Miss Coutts visited the Whitelands Training In-
stitution for Schoolmistresses at Chelsea (iti connection
with the National Society), to award and distribute the
Prizes for common things which she had offered for com-
petition. Miss Coutts was received by the officers of the
Institution, and conducted to the large workroom, where
she made the following address to the assetabled young
women (150 in number), who are either schtolmistresses
in charge of important metropolitan schools, or pupils in
training at Whitelands, or pupil-teachers apprenticed to
schoolmistresses :

" Before I give these prizes, I must first thank all the
schoolmistresses who have competed for theia, as they, by
coming forward, have, I believe, given a greet impulse to
industrial training—the object I have so much at heart. It
has bean impossible to visit the schools of the school-
mistresses now present without feeling Um they also
have had this object greatly at heart, and that each in
her district has tried to advance it, under agreat variety
of circumstances more or less advantageous arising from
a difference of local circumstances. Con4derable mis-
apprehension or misunderstanding has, ] believe, ex-
isted with the public generally, and ever sometimes
among the schoolmistresses and pupil-teaclers, as to the
sort of education the Committee of Coun4l on Educa-
tion wished to promote ; but none of the pupils in
Whitelands, or in the schools the schoomistresses of
which are now present, can
.doubt that in these schools
the first object of the committee is to eroeurage
mis-
tresses who will strive to promote, to the '>est of their
means and ability, among the children water their care,
a sound scriptural education, industrious habits, and
.such an amount of information upon allsubjects con-
nected with their wants and occupations is will render
them happier and more useful in their lispective sta-
tions and classes. Social,dif*ences among classes must
Ara; but to- Whatever class a person mi,y belong, the'
industrious discharge of the duties in that
station of life
is a social and religious obligation.",
