Mr. 11. llAunts, at the commencement of the
proceedings, rose to propose the following
lions, pursuant to notice he had given to that
effect That an address be presented to his
Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, express-
ing the horror and indignation felt by this court at
the recent attempt upon his life, and congratulating
him upon his providential escape." A!so : That
an address be also presented to his Imperial Majesty
the Emperor of the French, expressive of the feel-
ings of satisfaction entertained by this court at his
providential escape from the imminent danger in
which he was placed by the attempt to assassinate
the Czar." The bon member lri ifly proposed that
the motions should be agreed to, observing th ►t 10
was certain the court was actuated by feelings of th 3
deepest abhorrence at the attempted crime.
Alderman COPELAND cordially concurred in the
motions of the hon. member, and had great pleasure
in seconding them.
The motions were put and carried unanimously,
and addresses were afterwards adopted.
Upon the motion of Alderman SALMONS, the
court agreed to the proposition that the necessary

TUE VACANT BENEFICE OF ST. PETER'S-UPON-

CORNIIILL.
Mr. RIGBY said he should be glad if the chairman
of the committee to whom the subject of filling 11P
the vacant benefice of St. Peter's-upon-Cornhill bad
been referred would inform the court what 'as
being done in the matter. Three months had already
elapsed, and if they did not take care the corpora-
tion might lose its right of presentation.
Mr. HEwm, the chairman of the committee re-
ferred to, said that there was reason to believe that
in the year 1861. the income of the benefice of St'
Peter's would be increased to about £2,000, and 3
proposition had been made to the Bishop of London
that the stipend of St. Peter's should be ,i6OO
year ; that £3OO should be added to the incumbellel
of St. James's, Duke's-place ; and the remainder ba
divided among poor benefices in the gift of the city.
No answer had yet been received from the bish°P
upon the subject.
Mr. H. L. Taylor hoped it would not be ill'acrei
stood that the proposed scheme was one sanctione
by this court. He should object to any arrangewelld
that was not previously submitted to the Court v
Common Council.
Mr. HEWETT said that nothing would be done
without the matter being submitted to this COtirt
