FROM OUR OWN CORRISPONDRNT.
Tuesday evening, June 23.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION REFORM.

Yesterday a petition from the inhabitants of this borough
to the House of Commons, on the subject of Lord John
Russell's Corporation Reform Bill, was put in course of sig-
nature at six different places in the town. In the course of
yesterday and to-day it received upwards of two thousand
signatures. To-morrow evening it will be forwarded hence
to London for presentation. The petition states that the
petitioners regard, with the utmost satisfaction, the principle
of the important Bill lately introduced to the Commons
House of Parliament by his Majesty's Ministers, entitled " A
Bill to provide for the Regulation of Municipal Corporations
in England and Wales," and that they humbly hope it will
pass unmutilated in its principle, and unimpaired in its effi-
ciency, with as much despatch as the weight and importance
of its several provisions will admit; and that no clauses may
be introduced which may tend in any manner, directly or in-
directly, to injure its efficacy, or to embarrass its operation.
BRITISH COLONIAL TIMBER TRADE.
On Saturday next, the 27th inst., a meeting of the Cham-
ber of Commerce of this port (Plymouth), will be held at the
Exchange, to take into consideration the proposed alteration
of Duties on British Colonial timber. Shipowners and others
are expected to attend on the occasion.

There is more building going on, or projected, in
Greenock just now, than during any year within the memory
of man. On Tuesday ground was broken for an elegant new
parish church in West Stewart-street. The building to con-
tain the statue of our celebrated townsman, the late James
Watt, is contracted for, and will be commenced immediately ;
and more dwelling-houses than have been raised for the last
two years are projected and about to be begun. One conse-
quence has been, a considerable rise in masons' wages, which
are now 19s. per week.—Glasgow Chronicle.

THE EXPLOSION AT WALL'S END.—Eighty-
six men and boys were got out of the pit this day week, and an
inquest was holden their bodies. The Jury went to the houses
of the deceased to view the bodies. In one instance two bro-
thers were laid on the same bed, and in another house lay,
stretched side by side, the father and son. These scenes were
truly heart-rending. In almost every case the body was
strewed with evergreens and flowers, with the parents, sisters,
o
adjourned till Monday, the 29th inst., but in conse-
quence recovery of four persons alive, the Jury was sum-
tef t, weeping around the bed of death. The inquest
vsr.a brothers,
thenhors h e
sum-
moned again at four o'clock on Monday afternoon. On this
melancholy catastrophe, in the absence of evidence, we have
scarcely any observation to offer. It affords a striking proof,
if, indeed, after the many colliery explosions we have had, any
additional proof were wanting, of the necessity of some great
effort being made by the Legislature to put an end to this
dreadful destruction of human life. The Committee of the
Hon:, cof Commons, appointed at the instance of Mr. Pease.
to investigate the" subject, is now sitting-, and will acquire in-
creased imporcance from this event. That it will institute a
searching inquiry, both into this case and into th,, question of
coal-mine explimion altogether, we sincerely hope and believe,
and we trust it may be the means of devising some plan by
which such calamities may In rendered less frequent and less
disastrous than they have hitherto been.— York Courant.

A petition to Parliament has been forwarded, signed
by above 3.000 inhabitants of Wilsden and adjacent townships,-
expressing their deep conviction of the great and manifold
evils inflieteiFon the country by the drunkenness prevailing
over a large portion of the humbler classes of society ; and
praying that the.report founded on the evidence adduced before
the 'Committee of the House of Commons on that subject, may
be followed up by some legislative enactment to prevent the
further spread of drunkenness, and to proyide, if possible, some
remediea for the various evils already occasioned by its in-
fluence.

kVII ITE RAT.—There is now in the possession of
Mr. T. Wheater, of Bradford, a white rat, perfectly tame.
