COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday
t Guildhall, for the despatch of such business as had
not been disposed of the preceding day. The Lord
Mayo r in the chair.

Mr. C. PEARSON was just informed that a person,
living in the neighbourhood of a certain public build-
had been seized with a disease which many
thought contagious. lie would then ask Sir C.
Hunter whether he, as Colonel, would give the
heal-quarters of the London militia for a cholera
hospital, rrovided the consent of the Lieutenancy
were obtained,

Sir C. HUNTER said that this was really a prodia
g;ous i iquiry. He protested against being called oti
it that moment to answer a question of such im-
portance. The place was a military station, con-
t ining arms, amunition, and other stores. The
eye of Government was on it. Individually his
should be glad to g've the place, but it was coma
pletely under the hands of Government. He did
not like to have animadversions made here on him,
which went abroad misrepresented in the news-
papers, and he would continue to absent himself from
this Court. His peace was destroyed.
The report from the London-bridge Committee
was then brought up. The Committee regretted
hey could not advise compensation to be made to the
inhabitants of the Fish-street•bill, &v., a, it would_
ultimately fall on the Corporation. The only mode
of reparation that remained was to grant them
ground for building along the new approaches. The
report further recommended that the 7,0001. already
paid as compensation be repaid out of the Corpora-
tion funds.
On the suggestion of Alderman Wood, it was
ultimately determined that the money be paid out of
the Corporal ion funds.
Mr. R. TAYLOR moved that this Court do ex-
press its regret at the existence of the clause in the
Act of Incorpora ion, which requires that the chil-
dren be brought up in the doctrine and discipline of
ihe United Church of England and Ireland. Such
a clause was disgraceful to an age that boasted of its
and was, moreover, a gross injustice, as
the principal endowment was made by a absenting
Minister, the Rev. D. Williams. Sir It. Clayton,
a Dissenter, had also been, he believed, a large con-
tributor.

PEACOCK said the clause was forced on them
by the B shop of London, and in some degree by
Lord Shar esbury.
Several other gentlemen strongly censured the
cl..use. The motion was opposed as referring to an
act already in operation, but it was supported as a
necessary expression of the opinion of the Court,
and passed by a very large majority, hot more than
about s•x haiid having been held up against it.
The Court then adjourned at five o'clock.
