on the high grounds of Plumstead, overlooking, the
Thames and commanding a perfect sweep of Wool-
wich Arsenal. The corps, under an efficient sys-
tem of training, at their own individual expense,
have proposed to construct the battery themselves
during their leisure hours, on obtaining the sanc-
tion of the War Department. Major-Gen. Sir It.
Dacres, K.C.13., commanding the garrison at Wool-
-wich, is favourably impressed with the energy and
ready disposition of the corps, on whose assistance
1 he has stated he should be willing to rely, in caGe
of emergency, as a subdivision to the Royal Artil-
lery, and is ready to take steps in organising them
for that purpose.
The vt.rions militia regiments in the eastern dis-
trict are to assemble in the course of the ensuing

so much the better. The capital which they had
to meet the £7,183,019 of liabilities arising for ex-
isting policies was the balance in hand on the 31st
December, as stated in the account. That balance,
it would be observed, showed an increase of only

"1-SIT OF TILE PRINCE OF WALES TO
cAxADA.

In the Lower House of the Legislative Assnmbly
(Feb. 29), after routine proceedings consequent
upon the opening of the session the following
despatch was read :--

"Downing-street, Jan. 30.
" Sir,—.As the two houses of the Canadian Legis-
lature will soon reassemble for the deopatch of
business, i 1 becomes my duty to inform you that
the joint address to which they agreed at the close
of their last session was fully presented to the
Queen, and was most graciously reeeived by her
Majesty. In that address the Legislative Council
and Commons of Canada earnestly pray the Queen
to receive in person the tribute of their unwaver-
ing attachment to her rule, and to honour with her
presence her subjects in British North America,
upon the occasion of the opening of the great Vic-
toria Bridge, accompanied by the Prince Contort
and such members of the royal family as it may
please her Majesty to attend her on the occasion..
" Her Majesty values deeply the attachment to
her person and the loyalty to her Crown, whi,3h
have induced this address, and I am commanded to
assure the Legislature, through you, how lively an
interest is felt by the Queen in the growing pros-
perity of Canada, in the welfare and contentment
of her subjects in that important province of her
empire, and in the completion of the gigantic work
which is a fitting type of the successful industry of
the people. It is, therefore, with sincere regret that
her Majesty is compelled to decline compliame
with this loyal invitation. Her Majesty feels that
her duties at the seat of the empire prevent so long
an absence, and at so great a distance as a visit to
Canada would necessarily require. Impressed, how-
ever, with an earnest desire to testify to the ut-
most of her power her warm appreciation of the
affectionate loyalty of her Canadian subjects, the
Queen commands me to express her hope that
when the time for the opening of the Victoria-
bridge is fixed, it may be possible for his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales to attend the
ceremony in her Majesty's name, and to witness
those gratifying scenes in which the Queen is
herself unable to participate. The Queen trusts that
nothing may interfere with this arrangement, for
it is her Majesty's sincere desire that the young
prince, on whom the Crown of this Empire will
devolve, may have the opportunity of visiting, that
portion of her dominions from which that address
has proceeded, and may become acquainted with a
people in whose rapid progress towards greatness
her Majesty, in common with her subjects in Great
Britain, feels a lively and enduring sympathy.
" I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient
humble servant, "NEWCASTLE.

7'IIE CITY CORPORATION REFORM
BILL.

A Coiirt of Aldermen was held on Saturday, at
Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presidinz, to consider
the Government Bill for the Better Regulation f
the Corporation, and more particularly the resolu-
tions pawed by the Court of Common Council re-
lating to the Court of Aldermen. A report came up
from the Privileges Committee, calling attention to
the resolution passed by the other Court for amend-
ing the bill, by depriving those aldermen who
might sot be re-elected of their seats in the Court
of Aldermen, while permitting them to continue
justices, and giving the Court of Common Council
power to remove justices, not being aldermen, if
from any cause they should become unit to dis-
charge the duties of their office ; and to a further
resolution of depriving the Court of Aldermen of the
privilege which they now enjoy of approaching the
Throne as a distinct body. The committee recom-
mended that these amendments should be opposed,
and that the report should be referred back to the
committee, with power to take such steps as they
might think fit for that purpose.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND, in moving the adop-
tion of the report, did not wish to say anything at
all calculated to awaken controversy. There had
been an understanding between the two Courts that
they should work together harmoniously for tho
common benefit of both, but, us the Court of Com-
mon Council had passed resolutions affecting their
position, he thought the aldermen were bound to
look out for themselves.
Mr. Alderman WnsoN seconded the motion, ob-
serving, as chairman of the Privileges Committee,
that that committee, during the time that the ques-
tion of reforming the Corporation had been under
reference to them, had preserved a complete accord
with the Court of Common Council. believing the
interests of the Court of Aldermen to be safe in
their hands. Now, however, that the Court of Com-
mon Council had attacked their privileges, he
thought the committee should have full powers to
deal with the question as they might see fit.
Mr. Alderman CUBITT reminded the Court that
he had taken a most active part in the proceedings
connected with the reform of the Corporation, and
that about three years ago, in order that there might
be unison of action between the two Courts, he had
drawn up and submitted to the other Court, on the
part of the Court of Aldermen, a series of resolutions
upon which to found a bill. Subsequently a bill was
drawn up by the Remembrancer, taken in to the
House of Commons, and read a first time ; but it
fell when Sir G. Grey introduced a bill on the same
' subject. That bill fell in its turn, being opposed on
account of its fiscal clauses ; and when a Conserva-
tive Government came into power, Mr. Walpole
brought in another bill, in which no provision was
made for preserving the existing rights of the Court
of Aldermen. In the bill of Sir G. Lewis, however,
there was that provision ; and he (Mr. Alderman
Cubitt) imagined that the resolution of the Court of
Common Council for expunging it would never have
been agreed to, if that Court had not forgotten that
a similar clause was contained in their own bill. He
hoped that a good understanding would still be ar-
rived at on this point between the two Courts; but
if not, he could not, as a member of the House o.f
such a gratut-
ho might not be
teooums nons
humiliationup p o support a
thosebil l
justices containing
w
re-elected aldermen.
After some remarks from Mr. Alderman SALO-
MONS and Sir J. MusoßovE, the motion was agreed
to, and the Court adjourned.

SIR JAMES BROOKE.—We understand the total
sum realised by subscription for this gentleman amounted
to .0,000. His health is still very indifferent, and Captain

Government, and representative of Sir James. All efforts
to induce the British Government to purchase the settle-
ment are now relinquished.—london and China Telegraph.
[ADVERTISEMENT].--The difficulties and dangers of
bringing up infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely
overcome by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabies Food,
which feeds, strengthens, and removes all the little pains
and irregularities infants are so subject to. The following
letter speaks volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage,
16th Dec., 18,50. Gentlemen.—l think it but common
justice to 'you to state that I have used Du Barry's Reva-
lenta for the last four months during which time our in-
fant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had
suffered much during the previous six months, whilst being
nursed, though every care was taken to prevent it. Had I
known of your valuable food sooner, it would have
saved my infant mach pain, and me also t
