DISAPPEARANCE OF A STOCKBROKER.

Mr. Oppenheim, barrister, appeared in support of
a petition by Mr. Edward Barge, complaining of
the conduct of Mr. 'William Allison, stock and share
broker, 2, Birching-lane, and praying that his sure-
ties might be proceeded against on their boni!s•
The petition had been presented at a for.ner court,
and was now set down for hearing.
Mr. 11. W. SEWELL, the sword bearer, said he
had endeavoured to serve the u-ull notice relative
to the petition upon Mr. Allison, but found that be
bad gom;e away in March last, and bad not since
been heard of.

Under the peculiar circumstances of the case the
matter waP, on the motion of Sir SYDNEY WATEN-
LOW, referred to the Brokers' Committee to inquire
as to what course should be adopted.

THE MAGISTERIAL DUTIES OF -nu Low, Al.kron.
• Sir B. PHILLIrs moved—,, that it be referred to
the General Purposes Committee to inquire whether
any, and, if any, what alter.itions are desirable
with a view to the mire equal diviziou of the mo.
gisterial daties at the 31:Insion-house and
_Guild-
hall."

Mr. Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., seconded the
motion.
Alderman Sir Wm. ANDERSON Rost; thought
motion of- this kind ought not to have been moved
and seconded without comment. It was quite
true that within the last few months there had been
a great deal of heavy business at the Mansion-house,
but this wai an exceptional state of matters, and he
should not like to see important-cases conducted
under the responsibility of the Lord Mayor falling
into the hands of the magistrates who might be at
Guildhall, ai it very often happened tl at a junk'''.
member of their body presided in that court. Ile
made these observations because the motion hid a
tendency to disturb the existing arrang, merit wi,b
regard to the magisterial duties, and might possibli
lead to some difficulties. At present, when there
were causes of au important character coming on,
at the Mansion-house, the lighter business W 5
always disposed of by a brother magistrate, and he
did nf,t see why this arrangement should ;not be
continued when necessary.
Alderman SALOMONS remarked that they slid
want to take away any of the honours or privilege
of the Lord Mayor, but it was felt that he might be
relieved of a great many of the petty cases that nay'
occupied his time; and with that view it bad been
considered the better course that the matter should
go to the committee and be
.discusse 1 there. . _

Alderman SIDNEY, after remarking that the duties
at Guildhall were pretty equally divided between
those who passed the chair and those who had not,
said he agreed with Sir William Rose in think-
ing that the business at the Mansion-house we°
somewhat exceptional, and he was afraid it was
caused by what •be considered a piece of erratic
legislation. There was no doubt a great influx of
business bad been caused by the unfortunate Limited
Liability Act. It was perfectly astonishing, to eee
so many gentlemen of high position brought before
the Lot d Mayor, and he only hoped that the publi-
cation of the proceedings at the Mansion-h(us
from time to time wou:d have its effect upon the
House of Commons, and induce them- to redecel
their error.

Alderman and Sheriff COTTON said it seemed t°
him that the motion was rather an unnecessary one.
It was always in their power to transfer auy 06°
from the Alansion-house to the Guildhall.

• Mr. Alderman BESLEY thoug!tt the subject 3
proper one for an inquiry, and observed that a
transfer of the business would neci:t sitate all alterA'
tion in the police districts.
Alderman S:r IVILLWI ROSE said it wits for till%
reason that he had been a little anxious about the
matter. If the districts were to be altered, it Was
a very serious question.
After some further discussion the motion vtros
agreed to.

A report was brought up from the General Par-
pows Committee, recommending the appointment
of a junior clerk at the jnstice-room of the Mansion'
house, at a salary of £B') a year, with an annuli
increase of £lO until it reaches £lOO, the person
appointed to be not less than 18 or more than :!,d
years of ago.
The report was approve.l of, and it was referred
back to the c3fnini tee to make the necessary :11?"
poin Uncut.
The proceedings then terminated.

The Rev. Dr. Bellows delivcre 1 the third ana,
last of a course of lectures, in All Souls' Church, corner e`
Twentieth-street nod Fourth-avenue, April 21, ‘• Oa the
Footprints of Humanity." These lectures have been gi`iell
for the purpose of aiding the enterprise inaugurated by tile
Young Men's Union of All Souls' Church, of furnishi4
free preaching, awl free seats every Sunday in the largi
ball of the Cooper Union. After speaking of the grade`
development of the race through the ages of the past, tbl
speaker said that, though our own modern civilization 1)3:
its snore immediate beginning upon the banks of the itech
terranean, we were dependent upon every age of the Post
Americans, especially, were disposed to forget the
which the present age owed to the ages that were pa-
,t•
They were very much dioposed to think that the Atlantic
had washed out the past. But in reality no nation '035
more dependent ou the past than we. The discoverYf
the New World was made under the auspices of Spai°:,
and had been settled by people from every nation 1;
Europe: Our politics, our religion, our opinions, and eu
tastes were iu a gloat measure derived from the Old
World. The fabrics we wore, the vessels wo travel Of
the beverages we drink, wore in a large degree of IJurl9;
pan origin. When the American visited Europa he 'l'l.
not among strangers. Ho was visiting his grandpstrenV,;
his uncles, and his aunts. He was simp'y visiting tu,,
home of his ancestors, the land that his religion eot„
from ; where the printing-press was invented, and boe';
first made. The spirit of the nineteenth century Was
as soave in the Old World as in the New. Even CIO,
was influenced by the spiri of progress. The spesj,,ell
thought we wore yet to derive great benefits flu
a more intimate acquaintance with these people,
from whom we had heretofore been so complete?:
separated. He thought that the result -of Amoriet;
navel in Europe would soon be that we would know te
Old World better than it knew itself. It was a mist3rii
to suppose that religion was on the decline in the w°r',l
There was more money expended in the erection
churches to-day than ever before. The great prinellt
of Christianity were taking deeper hold on huinan'A
every day, and would continue to do so as the arts a"-
Sciences became more universally known and practised.
