PROPOSED SEW CHURCH AT THE CATTLE MARKET.

Mr. W. EJEWETr moved that the application of

the Bishop of London in the name of the committee
of the Bislop of London's Fund, for the gift of a
piece of laid adjoining the Cattle Market, for the
erection of a church, parsonage, and schools, ad-
journed fiom the 31st of May last, be referred to

the General Purposes Committee to consider, with
power to onfer with the Markets Committee and
report thereon.
Alderman GIBBONS said that the question had
stood over for a considerable time ; he considered
there were very good reasons why nothing should be
done at present with reference to the application.

He therefore moved that the consideration of the
letter of the bishop be adjourned sine die.
Mr. RUDEIN said he thought it right to observe
that the court ought to pause before they granted
the application, because he believed every morsel of
the ground belonging to the corporation at Copen-
hagen-fields would shortly be required for market
purposes. If the cattle disease should continue to
spread it would be absolutely necessary to erect ad-
ditional lairs, and all the land at their disposal in
the neighbourhood of the market would be required
for the purpose.
TIIE JUDGE OF THE SHERIFFS' COURT.

Mr. IV. C. FOWLER, the chairman of the Officers'
and Clerks' Committee, brought up a report from
that committee recommending that the salary of Mr.
Kerr, the judge of the Sheriffs' Court, should be in-
creased from £9OO to £1,500 per annum. He at the
same time handed in a letter that had been received
from that gentleman by the committee in which he
objected to the committee defining the duties he
should perform,and stated that he should not consi-
der the proposed increase in his salary sufficient in
view of the extra duties that were likely to be cast
upon him, as judge of the Sheriffs' Court, by bills at
present before Parliament, in the event of their be-
coming law.
The hon, member moved that the re-
port bo agreed to.
A long discussion took place upon the question,
and Mr. Munrumt. contended that there had been
really no increase of duty cast upon the judge by
the Equitable Jurisdiction Act. Ile had ascertained
that during a period of 15 mouths only 17 cases of
that description had come before the court. He
moved, as an amendment, that the only increase
to the salary of the judge should be the amount of
the fees received for these 17 cases.
11. L. TAYLOR seconded the amendment, and
he argued that it would be monstrous to give an in-
crease of salary to the extent of £6OO a year when
only such a small amount of additional duty had
been performed.
After much further discussion the question was
put to a show of Lands, on which the Lord MAYOR
declared the amendment to be lost.
Mr. Cox then moved a second amendment (on
the original motion to agree with the committee in
their report) to the effect that the report be re-
ferred back to the committee for reconsideration,
with a view to a final settlement of the question.
Mr. LUSIIER briefly seconded the amendment,
and after a conversation in which Messrs. M`George,
Obbard, Fry, and Bontems took part, a show of
hands was taken upon this amendment, which was
also declared to be lost.
On the motion of Mr. Cox a division took place,
when the numbers appeared—For the amendment,
37 ; against it, 47 ; majority against the amend-
ment, 10.
Mr. Deputy DE JERSV then moved a further
amendment, which, as he contended, would carry
out the same views as the Legislature entertained
when passing the Equitable Jurisdiction Act. The
amendment was, " That the sum of £3OO per an-
num be paid to the judge of the Sheriffs' Court in
respect of the duties imposed upon him under the
provisions of the Equitable Jurisdiction Act, to com-
mence from the date of that statute coining in force:;
that the arrears thus created of £450 be paid to
him, and that in future the increase of his salary be
£3OO per annum."
Mr. RIDLEY seconded the amendment, which was
supported by Mr. Bedford and Mr. Cox, and opposed
by Mr. Medwin, Alderman Waterlow, and Mr.
Deputy Fry.
This amendment was carried by a largo majority,
and afterwards adopted as a substantive resolution,
and

On the motion of Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY it was
ordered that the original reference to the committee
should he dLcharged.
The court then adjourned.

CHM:CITING THE JUDGES.--The Judges of the
Courts of Common Law will attend divine service at St
Paul's Cathedral ou Sunday next. They will be received

and canons of the cathedral at a quarter-past 3 o'clock.
BEATING THE BOUNDS. —Yesterday being AS-
cension-day, this ceremony was observed in the various
parishes of London. At the Temple there is always a
sturdy resistance to the parochial authorities. All the
day the gates aro closed, and no one is allowed to pAss in
who has not some special business eldling him there. I❑
vain the authorities of St. Dunstan's on the one side,
and those of St. Bride's on the other knock at the gates
for admission. The Tewplsrs say they are extra-paro-
chial—they acknowledge no parish officials, and no
parochial c•nt rol, and their sturdy porters standing within
the closed doors listen in silence to their entreaties for
ttdmiiision.

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—A week of more than
usually satisfactory progress has advanced her Royal
ness considerably on the road to that complete recovery
which it is believed no less confidently than it is hoped that
time will bring about. The joint has now lost nearly all
trace of pain, and is recovering its natural form. Its or
pearance, indeed, is more nearly that of health than has yot
been observed in the course of the illness. So delicate,
however, is the structure of the affected articulation that It
very trifling shock or abrupt movement might interrupt
the healing process. The precautions, therefore, as regardell
the preservation of the limb in a splint and swing aro sti
continued, and will probably be required for some time t°
cone.—The Laced.

THE LATE LORD LLANOVER AND lIIS

FUNERAL.

The following curious directions were left by the
late Lord Llanover for his funeral. The manu:
script is dated November 13, 1861, and la .8"
follows :—" My funeral is to be as plain and 111;
expensive as possible. My body is to be carried
by such of my tenants and labourers as maY be
selected for the purpose, and who may desire to
bear it. The pall-bearers to be agents and
tenants. No hatbands or scarfs to be used
hY
anybody. No hired carriages ; no hired peoll;
No parade of volunteers. Welsh hymns to
sung at intervals from the time the body is cart
vied out of the house until it is deposited iu its 135 n,
resting-place. That there may not be any raisaro
prehension as to the conduct of those who 000
me in regard to my funeral, the above directnlo
may be fully known. Our good Queen gave ell
her subjects an example which they will do We.
to follow. When her aunt the Duchess of Gintio
cester, and when her excellent mother the nacbell
of Kent died, the funerals of those illustrioti,
personages were conducted as privately as late
ble. Why should we her subjects contenir,
is
funeral splendour ? The pomp of a funeral
an additional trial to those who love the det
ceased ; it detracts from those thoughts thao
should be directed to heaven, and not to 01
vanities of the world."
