-THE CITY TRAFFIC BILL.
Mr. INE`GEOI:GE put a question to the City Soli-
citor in reference to the above measure, in answer
to which he gave the same explanation as -he did
on Tuesday at the Court of Aldermen, namely, that
the committee of the House of Commons, after
merely summoning witnesses who were known to be
opposed to the question, had recommended that it
should not be proceeded with, without giving the
Corporation any opportunity of producing evidence
iu support of the measure. The hon. member ob-
served that under these circumstances he thought
the public ought to feel that the Corporation had
done all in its power to remedy the evils so loudly
complained_ of with regard to. the obstructions in
the streetsof Loudon, and that as
.the House of
Commons would not assist to remedy them, that
house ought to bear its share of the blame. (Hear.)

THE DEAD MEAT MARKET.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, the chairman of the Markets
Improvement Committee, in answer to a question
put by Mr. Lusher with regard to the condition of
the works at the proposed dead-meat market in
Smithfield, said he was sorry they were not pro-
gressing so rapidly as could be wished, but the
fault really did not rest with the Corporation, but
with the Great Western Railway Company. He
explained that there were three parties to the works
that were to be carried out, namely, the Great
Western Railway, the Metropolitan Railway, and
the Corporation, and it had been arranged that a
small committee formed from each of those bodies
should have the management and control of the
works. The Great Western Railway Company,
however, had recently come to a resolution that
they would not authorise the advance of funds at
present; so that, in point of fact, they were willing
that the work should be done, butj did not appear
inclined to pay for it... The. excavations on the
south side of the market had, however, been com-
menced, and he hoped very shortly to be able to
give the Court some more satisfactory information
upon the subject. (Hear, hear.)

THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT
BRIGHTON.

The following official documents on this subject
have been forwarded to us for publication :

Horse Guards, S.W., April 13, 186 G.

Sir—l have the honour, by direction of the Field-Mar-
shal Commanding-in-Chief, to transmit to you for the in-
formation of the Secretary of State for War, the annexed
copy of Lieut.-General Sir Robert Garrett's report on the
Review of Volunteers held at Brighton on the 2d instant.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) W. P./WM; A.G.
The Under Secretary of State for War.

Shorncliffe, April 7, 1866.
Sir—Having had the honour of commanding the Volun-
teer force recently assembled at Brighton, although his

Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Comnaanding-in-Chie,
was present at the review, I now do myself the honour of

=
expressing the great satisfaction which I felt at the appear-
ance and steadiness of those troops, and also with their
general deportment and soldier-like bearing.
The marching past before his Royal Highness was in
my opinion performed in a highly creditable and soldier-
like manner, some of the battalions (those from London

especially) excited by their marching and appearance very
great admiration. After marching past the troops were
divided into an attacking and a defending force ; the for-
mer, composent the Ist Division, being under the com-
mand of Major-General Lord F. Paulet, C.B. ; the latter
under Brigadier-General Campbell, C.B.
The attacking force, which had been formed up at the
foot of Newmarket-hill (with a view of moving on
Brighton), commenced operations by an advance from its
extreme right, the Ist Brigade of Infantry in echelon of
battalions, covered by skirmishers and supported by a
well-directed fire of artillery on its flank.
This attack was met by the 2d Brigade of the 2d Divi-
sion in lino on the heights to the north of Lower Beven-
deau, supported by the 3d Brigade of that division.
Simultaneously with the attack made by the right, the 2d
Brigade of Infantry of the Ist Division; supported by.its
4th Brigade, advanced from the left by the heights of Upper
Bevendean, to attack the right of the defence, in front of
which 2 rheavy guns were placed in position, covering the
brigades of the 2d Division. Of these brigades, the 4th
Brigade, supported by the sth, advanced through the guns
and rerlsed the assailants. The right attack being also
repulsed, the whole of the troops resumed nearly their
original positions.
A:flank movement to the right was now made by the sth
Brigade of the Ist Division, supported by the Ist Royal
Dragoons and the artillery of the right, which compelled
the left battalions of the left defence to retire by echelon, in

order to secure their left flank, and eventually to throw back
the whole of the left and retire across the valley of Lower
Bevendean over very heavy and difficult ground.
In performing this movement the battalions of infantry
on the extreme left of the defence, being pressed by the
Royal Dragoons, formed squares to give time for the with-
drawing of four light guns, retiring with them, and kept
the cavalry at bay.
The sth Brigade of the Ist Division which led this flank

movement now advanced on Lower Bevendean held by the
sth Brigade of the 2d Division, which had previously been
detached for its defence, while the heavy guns in position
and the other brigades on the right of the defence were
throwing back their left to meet the attack, the whole of
the lst Division then followed the flanking movement to its
right and advanced in support of the attacking brigade.
This attack, which was a very spirited one, was now met
by a heavy and well-sustained fire from the whole of the
heavy guns in their now alignment, with the Ist Brigade of
Garrison Artillery on their right, and the other brigades of
the defence in line below the heavy guns, and so far down
the slope as to admit of the guns firing over them.
This was the last operation of the day, and brought the
movements to a close, as soon as Bevendean had been

carried.
The troops now marched off homewards.
The activity and lightness of the step of the men while
returning by battalions to the ground allotted to them at
the " levels" at Brighton were strong evidence of their
condition, and of the spirit which animated them. Neither
officers nor men showed any signs of fatigue (towards
dusk) after having, most of them, been in movement since
daybreak.
The placing of the 24 heavy guns in their first position,
over exceedingly heavy ground, which was rendered par-
ticularly soft by a continual fall of rain, and subsequently
the throwing back of the whole of their left into a second
position (as performed by the 3d and 4th Brigades of Artil-
lery), were deserving of the highest commendation ; so also
were the movements of the Ist and 2d Brigades of Artil-
lery, which moved to the attack over ground very difficult
for artillery to work upon.
The movements of the infantry throughout the day were
generally very steadily and correctly performed, but I ven-
ture to suggest that the formation of the brigades of infan-
try should be numerically smaller.
It is true that the intelligence, readiness, and general
aptitude of the men enabled the brigadiers to perform
movements which could hardly have been done by such
strong brigades, if the men were not possessed of those
qualifications.

The Guardians of the Strand Union have re-
solved to give up the workhouse in Cleveland-street, which
has been found much too small for the number of its in-
mates, and have taken a large space of ground in the parish
of Edmonton, on which it is intended to erecta new work-
house, Thebuilding will coat between 430,000 and £40,000

Mr. W. PAYNE then proceeded to move, pur-
suant to notice, " That this Court doth petition
both Houses of Parliament in favour of the bill to
extend the right of voting at elections for members
of Parliament in England and Wales." In sup-
port of the motion, the non. member, after allud-
ing to the importance of the subject, said he
thought the Court ought to give its support to the
people of England in their endeavour to obtain the
measure that was now before Parliament, and he at
the same time said that it was quite clear that the
time had arrived when there must be an extension
of the franchise. He reminded the Court that the
Corporation of London had always stood forward
in defence of the freedom and the rights of the
people, and he urged that it was their duty to
render their assistance to the passing of the bill
that was at present before Parliament for extend-
ing the franchise.
Mr. T. WEBBER seconded the motion, and said he
was old enough to remember the prognostications of
mischief and evil made by those who opposed the
former measure. They had, however, all seen the
great benefits that were derived from it, and although
in his opinion the present measure did not go far
enough, still he would support it as an instalment
of good and a step in the right direction. (Oh, oh.)
Mr. FRICICER opposed the motion, principally on
the ground that this Court was going out of its
proper sphere in adopting such a proceeding. (Oh,
oh.) He admitted that the extension of the fran-
chise would be a boon to the people, but he argued
that the manner in which the Government had in-
troduced this measure did not entitle them to their
support. (Hear.) The Government refused to tell
the public the whole of their scheme, and asked to
be trusted, while they themselves would not put any
trust in the people. (Hear, hear.) What the hon.
mover had said about the people of England re-
minded him of another celebrated triumvirate iu
Tooley-street—(a laugh)—and he denied that it
could be truly stated that the people of England
were favourable to tip measure that was now pro-
' posed by the Government. On the contrary, he be-
lieved that, if the fact could be ascertained, three-
fourths of the people were opposed to it. (Cries of
" No, no.") At all events, he said, it appeared to
him that a municipal body like this Court were not
called upon to go out of their way to support apoli-
tical object, and he should therefore move, as an
amendment to the motion, ,‘ the previous question."
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Deputy De JERSEY seconded the amendment,
also principally upon the ground that the Court
ought not to interfere in a question that was purely
of a political character, and that a municipal body
like the Corporation of London was not justi-
fied in lending its support to any political party.
He said that such a proceeding might have been
justified in the olden time, when every corpo-
ration was either Whig or Tory, and openly
avowed political objects ; but sisce the passing of
the Municipal Coiporations Act there had been an
entire change effected ; and he expressed his opi-
nion that the Corporation of London could not
adopt any course that was likely to be more dan-
gerous than to interfere with politics and show a
political bias. (Hear, hear.)
Dr. SAUNDERS also supported the amendment,
and denied that the measure now before Parliament
had been called for by the people, and said that it
appeared to him that it had merely been brought
forward as a question of expediency in connection
with the name of Russell. (Cries of " Hear, hear,"
and " No, no.") He did not believe that there was
the least desire for such a measure at the time it
was brought forward, and the people had been
" galvanised" into a belief that they required it at
the present time. (A laugh.)
.Mr. E. D. ROGERS supported the motion.
Mr. J. RICIIARDSON also supported it ; and he
expressed his surprise that Deputy De Jersey, the
" lion" of the Court, as he described s• 1 amid the
laughter of the members, should have given utter-
ance to the expressions he had done respecting this
important question. He earnestly called upon the
Court to carry the motion, and thereby show the
other corporations of the kingdom that the Corpo-
ration of London were still, as they had ever shown
themselves, the supporters of liberty. (11...ear_ .)

Dr. SAUNDERS then moved another amendment,
to the effect that no steps should be taken with re-
ference to the petition until a full and complete
measure of Reform had been submitted to Parlia-
ment.
This amendment was also negatived upon a divi-
sion, and it vas then referred to the Law and Par-
liamentary Committee to take the necessary steps
'or the presentation of the petition to Parliament.
The Court shortly afterwards adjourned.
