COURT OF ALDERMEN.

- ~

The ordinary meeting of the mlgibtrate4 of the
City waC held yesterday, the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor presiding.
DISAPPEARANCE OF A STOCKBROKER.

Mr. Oppenheitn, 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 bon's•
The petition had been presented at a former court,
and was now set down for hearing.
Mr. 11. W. SEWELL, the sword bearer, said be
had endeavoured to serve the u-ual notice relative
to the petition upon Mr. Allison, but found that be
had gone away in March last, and had not since
been heard of.

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

THE MAGISTERIAL DUTIES OF THE LORD MAYOR.
Sir B. PHILLIPS moved—" that it he referred re
the General Purposes Committee to inquire whether
any, and, if any, what alterations are desirable
with a view to the nnre equal division of the me'
gistcrial duties at the Mansion-house and Guild•
hall."

Mr. Alderman. SALOMONS, M.P., seconded the
motion.

Alderman Sir WM. ANDERSON ROSE, thought a
motion of this kind ought not to have been moved

and seconded without comment. It was quit°
true thaewithin the last few months there had been

a great deal of heavy business at the Mansion-house,
but this was 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, as it very often happened that a junior
member of their body presided in that court. lie
made these observations because the motion hid e
tendency to disturb the existing arrangement will
regard to the magisterial duties, and might possibil
lewl to some difficulties. At present, when there
were causes of an important character coming ne
at the Mansion-house, the lighter business we
always disposed of by a brother magistrate, andl)o
did not see why this arrangement should not be
continued when necessary.
Alderman SALomms remarked that they did n/

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 Dos't
occupied his time; and with that view it had bee°,
considered the better course that the matter should
go to the committee and be discusse I there.
Alderman SIDNEY, after remarking that the duties
at Guildhall were pretty equally divided betwee°
those who palsied the chair and those who had nO4
said he agreed with Sir Williatia Rose in tbiuk.
in}; that the business at the Mansion-house Iv°
somewhat exceptional, and he was afraid it Os
caused by what he considered a piece of erratic
legislation. There was no doubt a great influx 0f
business had been caused by the unfortunate Limited
Liability Act. It was perfectly astonishirig to gee
so many gentlemen of high position brofight before
the Lord Mayor, and he only hoped that the publi‘
cation of the proceedings at the Mansion-house
from time to time would have its effect Upon the
House of Commons, and induce them to redeeill
their error.

Alderman and Sheriff COTTON said it seemed to
him that the motion was rather an unnecessary one•
It was always in their power, to transfer any case
from the Mansion-house to the Guildhall.
Mr. Alderman BESLEY thought the subject a
proper one for an inquiry, and observed that 3
transfer of the business would necessitate an alter''
tion in the police districts.
Alderman Sir WILLIAM ROSE said it was for tbs
reason that be had been a little anxious about 0!
matter. If the districts were to be altered, it svP
a very serious question.
After some further discussion the motion is'

agreed to.

A report was brought up from the General Por:
poses Committee, recommending the appointment
of a junior clerk at the justice-room of the Mansion'
house, at a salary of £BO a year, with au antalli
increase of Xlo until it reaches £lOO, the person
appointed to be not less than 18 or more than 25

years of age.
The report was approved of, and it was referred
back to the clavni tee to make the meessary gr

pointmeut.

The proceedings then terminated.

The Rev. Dr. Bellows delivered the third an
last of a course of lectures, in All Souls' Church, corner °f
Twentieth-street and Fourth-avenue, April 21, "Oe the
Footprints of Humanity." These lectures have been given
for the purpose of aiding the enterprise inaugurated by tb".
Young Men's Union of All Souls' Church, of furnishing
free preaching, and free seats every Sunday in the Lag°,
hall of the Cooper Union. After speaking of the grndt
development of the race through the ages of the past, t'l
speaker said that, though our own modern civilization ba
its more immediate beginning upon the banks of the
terranean, we were dependent upon every age of the Osbt
Americans, especially, were disposed to forget the de
which the present age owed to the ages that were past'
They were very much disposed to think that the Atlantic
had washed out the past. But in reality no nation vi°
more dependent ou the past than we. The discovery °f
the New World was made under the auspices of Sp3i'
and had been settled by people from every nation 1°
Europe. Our politics, our religion, our opinions, and 001'
tastes were in a wog Old measure derived from the Old
World. The fabrics we wore, the vessels u e travel l°'
the beverages wo drink, were in a large degree of E°r°;
peen origin. When the American visited Europe he 03
not among strangers. He was visiting his grandpareni.ts,o
Lis uncles, and his aunts. He was simply visiting "10
home of his ancestors, the land that his religion els
from ; where the printing-press was invented, and books
first made. The spirit of the nineteenth century vi,°;.),
as active in the Old World as in the New. Even Cher
was influenced by the spiri of progress. The spea7u,
thought we were yet to derive great 'benefits fr`i,„
a more intimate acquaintance with these p00P7,,,'
from whom we had heretofore been so completely
separated. He thought that the result of Aruencite
ta avel in Europe would soon bo that we . would know
Old World bettor than it knew itself. It was a mists
a
to suppose that religion was on the decline in the werl
There was more money expended in the erection
churches to-day tha ever before. The great prnine-I"inciPe
of Christianity were taking deeper hold on JaS
every day, and would continue to do so as the arts and
sciences became more universally known and practised.
