Here, then, are about three hundred thousand
pounds sterling of gold exported in a single week,
besides a large quantity of silver ! Is it surprising,
therefore, that the price of corn should fall ? We
wish this were the worst of it.-.--Morning Journal.
As St. Thomas's Day is not far distant, we trust
that such of the citizens of London as have a voice
in the election of the Common Council for the dif-
ferent Wards will keep their eyes steadily fixed upon
the proceedings of their present representatives re-
lative to the proposed sale of the office of Secondary.
We do not, nor; we believe, does the public, hold
the Civic Parliament in any very high repute; and
that principally for this reason, that they are ever
the loudest bowlers for every reform unconnected
with themselves, while they cling to the abuses of
their own body with a zeal which furnishes the best
test of their judgment, their integrity, and sincerity.
—True to the principle that " Charity begins at
home," they forget that reform should do so too;
and that the world is not so etupid or so blind as not
to see and to despise those who preach a doctrine
which they have not the virtue or the courage to
practise. If the Civic Body think these remarks
too severe, they have an opportunity of redeeming
themselves from their affect by their conduct upon
the occasion in question. If they do-not, the world
will be apt to ledge of them more severely even than
we do. After what we have said upon the subject itself,
we do not mean to enlarge upon it here. . No persons
can be more interested in the matter than the citizens
at large ; and if they re-elect to the Common Conn-
' cif persons who vote for perpetuating such an abuse,
no one will in future pity them for becoming the
victims of it.—Morning Herald.

The hole-and-corner-proceedings at Aylesbury
last week,appear to reflect but little credit upon the

crates, who, in opposition to the true principles of
the Constitution, have the power of taxing those
who have. not deputed them so to do. Such being
the btate of the case, it the more behoves then') to
act openly, above suspicion, and without disguise. L...
That they may have no excuse for not acting justly.
the law has given them the full power of equalising
the burden wherever it has become unequal, accom-,
parried by an inquisitorial power of valuation, &c.,
which can only be justified by the end which it has
in view, and the implied integrity and uprightness
of the hands and heads to which it is intrusted. In
this ease seven parishes petition the Justices to
equalise the county rate, who immediately adjourn
the tlicussionto.a private roam, where, in the end,
it is said the application Was rejected. With the de-
cision itself we do not quarrel, for who can judge
of the propriety or impropriety of that which he is
neither *lowed to hear nor see? .What we coin-
plaint efis,.that such a discussion should be carried
on in private. Whar would be thought .were the
House of Commons to clear the gallery on the night-

were under discussion ? And is it to be endured,

open to its constituents and to all the world, a body
