CHAPLAIN TO THE DEBTORS' PRISON. •

Mr. Alderman WILSON reminded the Court that
the temporary appointment of the Rev. Thomas
Pugh, curate of St. Sepulchre's, to the chaplaincy
of the Debtors' Prison would expire before its next
meeting, and he would, therefore, move that the rev.
gentleman, who had discharged his duties in the
most satisfactory and exemplary manner, be reap-
pointed fora further term of six months.

Mr. Alderman SIDNEY remarked that it was a
disgrace to the Corporation that so small a remune-
ration was paid to the rev. gentleman. He urged
that an increase should be made now at the time of
his reappointment.

Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, M.P., said the in-
crease of stipend could not 'be made without due
notice.

Mr. Alderman and Sheriff GIBBONS reminded the
Court that six months ago the matter of the chap-
laincy had been referred to the Gaol Committee,
who made the temporary appointment of the Rev.
Mr. Pugh, and no doubt the committee would pro-
vide for his reappointment within the next ten or
twelve days ; and he thought the matter had best be
left in the hands of the Gaol Committee, as, if this
Court should interfere in the meantime, it might
lead to some difficulty.
This suggestion was adopted, and Mr. Alderman
Wilson withdrew his motion.

THE COMMON COUNCIL AND MR. COMMISSIONER KERR.

Mr. Alderman COPELAND said he wished to draw
the attention of the Court to a proceeding of the
Common Council with respect to the Commissioner
of the Sheriffs' Court, who was also one of the
judges attending at the Central Criminal Court, as
into his conduct in his judicial capacity the Common
Council had referred an inquiry to one of its com-
mittees. He should very much wish to know from
the learned Recorder (if he had been present)
whether the Common Council had any power thus
to interfere with the provisions of the Act of Par-
liaMent under which the Central Criminal Court
had been constituted. If any complaint was to be
entertained against any of the judges of the Central
Criminal Court, it ought to be inquired into by the
whole body of the Commissioners of the Court,
comprising the Lord Chancellor, the judges of the
Admiralty Court, and other distinguished and ex-
perienced law authorities, who were constituted
judges of the Central Criminal Court under the act
introduced by Lord Broughem when Lord Chan-
cellor.
;
celler. He (Mr. Alderman Copeland) contended
that neither the Common Council nor tthis
of Court
this
could institute an inquiry into a
kind. He should, therefore,
re
moveL ar to commu-
nicate matter
rution to
this effect, and request the Lordl\
it to the Common Council at its next meet-
ing, urging that the inquiry should not be proceeded
with.
Mr. Alderman GABRIEL said he believed the in-

Court of Aldermen.

Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held in their
council chamber, at Guildhall, for the despatch of
business, the Lord Mayor presiding.
The Sheriffs presented their reports of the state of
the City prisons, from which it appeared that in
Newgate there were 68; in Whitecross-street, 94 ;
and in the House of Correction, Holloway, 376 pri-
soners.

The City Chamberlain and the Bridge Master
were sworn into office for another year, on their re-
election on the 24th ult.

The precept for the election of Lord Mayor for
the year ensuing, and for the other business on
Michaelmas-day, was ordered to be issued.
The Sheriffs elect (Mr. Alderman Waterlow and
F. Lycett, Esq.) were called upon to enter into the
usual bonds for the due performance of their office,
when Alderman Waterlow presented himself, and
duly executed the instrument ; the absence of Mr.
Sheriff-elect Lycett being explained to be unavoid-
kble, in a letter addressed by him to the Town Clerk.

Court of Common Council.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held
at Guildhall for the despatch of business, prepara-
tory to the approaching recess. The Lord Mayor
took the chair precisely at 12 o'clock, when a full
ccurt had assembled.

On the minutes of the last court being read by
the town clerk, a member drew attention to an in-
accuracy in the printed minute of the resolution
adopted at the last court with respect to the grant
of the Guildhall for the use of the National Reform
League, from which it seemed that the grant had
been made lot two meetings instead of one assem-
blage.

The TOWN CLERK explained that this had arisen
from a mistake made by a clerk. his (the Town
Clerk's) written minute was limited to one meeting
only.

'Cir. LowMAN TAYLOR said that if the application
for the use of Guildhall had been made that day he
believed the court would not have acceded to it,
and he now put it to the court whether, after the
scenes which had been enacted at the West-end,
they would jeopardise their hall by admitting
the public on the occasion to which the resolution
had reference. If he was in order he would move
to rescind and revoke the resolution of the previous
court.

Mr. RICHARDSON rose to address the court, but
was met with loud cries of " There's no question
before the court," and he resumed his seat, when the
matter dropped.

fair retail sale. Beans firm. Peas rather cheaper. The
millers have lately reduced the retail price of flour 3s 4d
per sack.

BURY ST. EDMUND'S—WEDNESDAY.

TRAFFIC REGULATION BILL.

The TOWN CLERK (in the unavoidable absence of
the Remembrancer) communicated to the court that
the Traffic Regulation Bill had received a second
reading in the House of Commons.

Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, M.P., drew the atten-
tion of the court to the clauses of the bill which
took away all jurisdiction as regarded the traffic in
the City from that court and the Court of Aldermen
to the City Police Commissioner, acting under the
authority of the Home Secretary, and would prevent
the delivery of coals, wines, beer, and other commo-
dities between the hours of ten in the morning and
seven o'clock in the evening. The bill required the
utmost watching and opposition, and he should
therefore move that a copy of the bill be sent to
every member of the court, and that it be referred
both to the Police Committee and to the Commis-
sioners of Sewers.

Mr. R. N. PHILLIPS seconded the motion, which
was put and agreed to.

SHERIFFS' COURT.

The TOWN CLERK read the notice on the paper of
business for the appointment of Mr. George Osgood
registrar of the of the sheriffs' court (elected on the
3d May last), for a period of three months, and also
a letter from that gentleman stating his inability to
attend the Common Council that day, in conse-
quence of the sitting of the sheriffs' court, with a
heavy cause list.
Mr. M'George moved, and air. Lowman Taylor
seconded the motion, that Mr. Osgood be appointed
registrar until the election of officers at the end of
the year.

After some discussion of a somewhat personal
character, the resolution was agreed to; as was also
a further resolution moved by Mr. Itt‘Georger, and
duly seconded, that it be referred to the Law and
Officers' Committee to inquire into the increase of
the duties of the sheriffs' court, arising from the
Equity Jurisdiction (County Courts) Act, and to
report the same to the court.

SPECIAL CONSTABLES.

At the usual weekly meeting of the Marylebone
Vestry held yesterday, Mr. Greenwell, vestry clerk,
read the following communication which he had just
received from the Home-office, and marked " im-
mediate" :

" Whitehall, July 25, 1866.

" Sir, —Apprehensions being entertained of a recurrence
of the recent disturbances in Hyde Park and its vicinity,
I am directed by Mr. Secretary Walpole to transmit to
you the enclosed copy of a circular letter which he has
addressed to the magistrates of the Bow-street, Hammer-
smith, Marlborough-street, Marylebone, and Westminster
police-courts on the subject of swearing in special constables
to assist the Metropolitan Police in the preservation of the
public peace ; and I am to request that you will move the
vestry of the parish of Marylebone to lose no time in in-
viting well-disposed persons to come forward and enrol
themselves as special constables for the above purpose. To
further this object Mr. Walpole trusts that the vestry will
grant the use of their vestry-hall for the swearing in of
those persons who may offer their services as special con-
stables. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

"11. WADDINGTON.

" The Vestry Clerk of St. Marylebone."
The following is a copy of the circular letter ad-
dressed to the magistrates, also read by the vestry
clerk :

" Whitehall, July 25, 18GG.

" Gentlemen-3lr. Secretary Walpole directs me to re-
quest that you will grant every facility at your court for
swearing in respectable individuals who may offer their
services as special constables for the preservation of the
peace ; and that you will have the goodness to attend at a
vestry-room or other place where a number of persons may
find it convenient to assemble for the purpose of swearing
them in there. I beg, at the same time, to mention to you
that special constables should be s worn under the Acts of
the Ist and 2d William IV., cap. 41, and the sth and 6th
William IV., cap. 43, the former of which statutes requires
that a previous statement on oath shall be taken that dis-
turbances exist or are apprehended.
"I am, sir, &c., "H. WADDINGTON."
The reading of these communications occasioned
derisive laughter from some of the members, and a
motion having been made and seconded that the re-
quest be granted, Mr. Hallam moved an amend-
ment, " That the communications from the Home
Secretary lie on the table." Ho was strongly sup-
ported by Messrs. Holcombe, Soden, and others,
and as strongly opposed by Professor Marks, Dr.
Bachhoffner, and other members. Mr. Nicbolay
said he had a memorial from the ratepayers of the
parish, asking permission to hold a meeting in the
vestry-hall to protest against the conduct of the
police in the park, and suggested the withdrawal
of the amendment, so that Government and people
might have the use of the hall. Mr. Hallam withdrew
his amendment, to the great chagrin of some of
his supporters who wished to divide the board on
the question. The vestry then agreed that the 1
Home Secretary should be informed that they would
agree to his requests.

cipal islands of Dalmatia, and the most important
of them in a strategic point of view.
The usual annual service for the repose of the
soul of his Majesty King Louis, father of the pre-
sent Emperor, took place yesterday in the church of
Napoleon St. Leu, in the department of the Seine
at Oise. Marshal Valliant, Minister of the Empe-
ror's Household, and of the Fine Arts, and various
local and municipal authorities were present. The
military service was performed by a detachment of
old soldiers of the first Empire and the company of
Sapeurs Pompiers of Napoleon St. Leu.
There is a regular and uninterrupted increase in
the population of Rome, as appears .by the new
census. In 1856 it amounted to 178,798 souls. In
1865 it was 207,338. Since that period there has
been an augmentation of about 3,000. The reli-
gious bodies are thus composed :--Cardinals, 30 ;
bishops, 36 ; priests and clerks, 1,476 ; semi-
naristes, 834. Total, 2,376. Male professors of
religion, 2,833 ; female (Religieuses), 2,169. Total,
5,002. There is thus an ecclesiastical and monas-
tical population of both sexes at Rome, amounting
to 7,378 persons.

The Lille Exhibition of Fine Arts has just been
inaugurated by the Count de Niewarkerke, Super-
intendent of Fine Arts and the Prefect of the De-
partment du Nord. The number of works in the
catalogue is 1,566.

The elephant, it appears, has a very acute sense
of smell, of which rather an alarming proof was
given the Gther day at the Garden of Plants. A
lady who was looking at it had a very beautiful
bouquet in her hand, and when she left the animal
contrived to pass his barrier and followed her. She
retreated rapidly, but he soon overtook her and put
out his trunk towards her, upon which she presented
the nosegay to him. The elephant immediately put
it to his mouth, and evidently enjoyed the perfume.
He then gave it back to the lady with his trunk
with as much politeness as it was possible for an
elephant to command. The bouquet was chiefly com-
posed of the orange flower, and naturalists say that
the elephant delights in this flower more than
any other. In Japan an elephant has been known
to eat all the oranges from a tree, and even to de-
vour some of the branches.

Repairs and enlargement of the Imperial Library
in the Rue de Richelieu have been in progress for
two years. About two-thirds of these improve-
ments are now completed. The library contains
four million volumes, many valuable manuscripts,
engravings, and medals. The average addition of
volumes each year is 40,000.
The Epoque in an article about Prussia says :
" In spite of oneself it is not possible to see without
pleasure the annoyance of certain journals at the
conduct of the Prussians at Frankfort. They ex-
cuse, they extenuate their conduct as much as they
can, but they find it impossible to approve of it enti-
tirely. They therefore are reduced to the necessity
of giving some severe advice to their ally, General
Manteuffel."

THE APPROACHING MEETING IN GUILDHALL.

Mr. Deputy C. REED inquired from the chairman
of the City Lands Committee what arrangements had
been madefor carrying out the resolution of the court
with reference to the reform meeting in Guildhall.
Mr. J. E. SAUNDERS replied that the resolution
in question had been referred to the special Com-
mittee of the City Lands, who had managed and
arranged the working men's exhibition and the hor-
ticultural banquet, and he would further add that
the meeting would be presided over by the Lord
Mayor. (Loud cheers.) The latter fact was a
guarantee that everything would be conducted with
propriety, and a fair hearing secured to all parties.

THE CHOLERA.

Mr. IsAAcs said he was desirous of putting a ques-
tion to the chairman of the Sewers Commission on
a matter of great importance. He alluded to the
approach of cholera. In 1849, when the epidemic
appeared, special committees had been appointed by
this court to take precautionary and preventive
steps. At the present moment the sanitary arrange-
ments of the City were vested in the Commissioners
of Sewers, and as it was very desirable that precau-
tionary measures should be taken, he begged to ask
the chairman of the Sewers Commission whether
the subject had engaged their attention, and whether
it was meant to adopt precautionary measures in
anticipation of the approach of the cholera.
Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY, in replying to the ques-
tion, expressed a hope that no alarm should be
created in the public mind on the one hand, and on
the other hand it was necessary that measures of
precaution should be taken. Under the Nuisances 3
Removal Act and the Diseases Prevention
Act,up 23
and 24 Victoria, the duties were divided,th of aat and on
the Commissioners of Sewers devolved
re-
moving nuisances, while on the boards arof
the extension of guardians
was imposed that of the prevention
of the disease. Ile had tha,t 'nor. nsiinncr had an interview
with the officers of the corn
and arrangements had bee:l:laden on the subject,
to carry out all
that was desirable in the matter so far as the com-
mission was concerned. Ile might add that the boards
of guardians were fully alive to the importance of the
matter, and were to meet that afternoon to adopt
those arrangements which devolved upon them
under the statute. lle could assure the court that
the Commissioners of Sewers and the boards of
guardians had the most ardent wish to co-operate,
and would take care, as far as human ability could,
to carry out the provisions of the act. On a matter
of so great importance he thought it desirable that
the court should have the fullest information, and he
might state that he had recently had a conversation
with one of the best authorities on the subject—he
alluded. to Mr. Glaisher—who had made meteorolo-
g"l6lllTqa on the former occasion, and who was

FINSBURY-PARK.

Mr. BONTEMS moved the following resolution :
" That in the opinion of this court the proposed ap-
propriation for building purposes of 20 acres out of
the 120 acres of land purchased for the formation of
Finsbury-park, by the Metropolitan Board of Works,
would be a serious injury to the park, and a great
privation to the inhabitants of the northern district
of the metropolis, and that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to the Metroplitan Board of Works,
and that the members for the City at that board be
requested to oppose such a proposition."
Mr. R. N. PHILLIPS seconded the resolution, and
a long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Lowman
Taylor, Mr. Lawley, Mr. D. Rogers, and Mr. J. E.
Saunders, Mr. Medwin, and Mr. Turner took part.
The resolution was carried, only two hands being
held up against it ; and, on the motion of Mr. Alder-
man Copeland, a copy of the resolution was ordered
to be sent to the Secretary of State for the Home
Department.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1866.

We may now reasonably hope that all appre-
hensions of further riots and disturbances of the
peace of the metropolis may be at an end. The
matter was brought before both Houses again last
night, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY in the one, and
Mr. OSBORNE in the other, making themselves the
organs of the general astonishment at the placards
which yesterday announced that the Home Secre-
tary had given permission to the members of the
Reform League to convene another open-air meet-
ing in Hyde-park on Monday next. Every one who
read this must have been immediately con-
vinced that there was some misunderstanding,
seeing that no Minister could consent to such a re-
signation of his duties as guardian of the public
peace. It is the more extraordinary that Mr.
BEALES should hayed fixed his name to that placard,
seeing that his own letter applying for permission
to hold the meeting next Monday was not in Mr.
WALPoLE's hands until the placard was printed.
We must presume, therefore, that the courtesy and
consideration with which the Home Secretary re-
ceived the deputation left them under the im-
pression that his ultimate consent was cer-
tain, and that it would be the best means of
quieting the people, and preventing further riot to
make it known as soon as possible. At any rate the
members of the League have shown every desire to
avoid further collision with the authorities, being by
this time no doubt convinced of the truth of
the warnings previously addressed to them, that in
every assembly summoned to meet in defiance of the
authorities there is sure to be a large preponderance
of those who acknowledge no control whatever, and
to whom it is impossible to say, " Thus far shalt
thou go and no further."

Air. WALPOLE'S explanation in the House leaves
nothing to be desired, and the answer which he and
his colleagues have decided to return to the applica-
tion of Mr. BEALES and the Reform League was
accepted as
Perfectly satisfactory. The Govern-
ment cannot, consistently with their duty, consent
to allow the mob full
use of any of the royal parks,
but they are perfectly willing to allow an open-air
demonstration in favour of
Reform on Primrose-
bill. If it is a mere
show
of numbers, and
a discussion on the points of the Char-
ter that is wanted, primrose-hill is large
enough, and in close vicinity to the busy parts
of
the metropolis. The men who marched from the
East and from the South to Hyde Park may just as
well march to the North-west and expend their
energies in climbing the ascent. Judging from
what Mr. MILL said last evening it is very probable
that the Reform League may abandon the idea
altogether. Lord DERBY, whose language on the
subject was firm though courteous, said last night
in the House of Lords that he hoped the good sense
of the leaders of the movement would show them
how impossible it was for them to answer for
the conduct of those who do not belong to them,
but who follow in the train of a monster proces-
sion. We have no fear of any mitichievous come-

The Demonstration in Hyde Park. s'

A marked change for the better was noticeable
in Hyde Park yesterday. The experience of the
previous day had shown that the restoration of quiet
and order was near, and the prevalence of this im-
pression evidently contributed to the abatement of
public curiosity. In fact, a stranger to the scenes
of the last few days would scarcely have recognised
anything unusual, so energetically has the work of
removal and renovation been set about. The railings
have, of course, not been replaced, but workmen
are actively and numerously employed in repairing
the damage in this direction. The hoarding which
is intended for the time, at all events, to act as a
bar to unauthorised entrance to the park is being
rapidly proceeded with, and for some distance along
Park-lane is already completed. But all signs of the
destruction which was committed upon the trees and
plantations have disappeared. Cartload upon cart-
load of broken boughs and branches have been re-
moved, and the unsightly stumps of those trees
which were wrenched and broken off have been sub-
mitted to amputations much more orthodox in their
appearance. As much of the old trunk as remained
unconsumed by the early part of yesterday morning
has been removed, and but for the presence of a
small cluster of inquisitive spirits it would have been
difficult to determine at first sight the spot where so
many roughs had on Wednesday derived their after-
noon and evening's amusement. Nor was there any
attempt to renew the destruction of the previous
days. Indeed, with the absence of the police, none
of whom were to be seen in the neighbourhood of the
conflicts of Monday and Tuesday, all symptoms of
mischief seemed to have disappeared. The park was
in the morning given up to its usual frequenters,
and in the afternoon it was visited by many work-
ing men and a few members of the rougher classes,
but all alike appeared to be willing to confine them-
selves to legitimate amusements. Leap-frog and
lying and smoking on the grass appeared to be the
favourite modes of passing the time, and if here and
there some more demonstrative assemblages were to
be found, their behaviour, though rough, was per-
fectly good-humoured. There was no revival of the
stone-throwing, and the traffic outside the Marble
Arch was, for the first time since Monday, unim-
peded. The bills announcing the arrangement which
the Council of the League had made with the Go-
vernment were surrounded throughout the after-
noon by knots of men discussing anything and every-
thing bearing in any way upon politics, but no at-
tempts were made to hold any meetings. Indeed,
those at all in the secrets of the League appeared to
have carefully abstained from approaching the park,
and thus to have contributed as much as possible
to the cessation of the disturbances. Towardsnight-
fall the concourse of people was, of course, greater
than in the afternoon, but the increase in number
induced no alteration in behaviour, and as the
evening wore on the park was gradually deserted
by all but those who, for the present, at all events,
have selected it as a residence.

MAN C HES TER-THURSDAY.

Since the news of the armistice the tone of trade has
become weaker, and with an exceedingly limited business,
prices have been in favour of buyers for all articles. Our
market to-day was poorly attended. Wheat met a very
slow sale, althz,ugh offered at a reduction of 2s per quarter
on both English and foreign. Flour was also difficult to
sell, at a further reduction of is per sack. Oats and oat-
meal sold slowly at barely late prices. Beans sold at rates
similar to those of the previous week. Indian corn rather
cheaper.
