COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Consmon Council WAS yesterday' held at Cluildhall,
for the purpose of expressing the sense of the Court on the occa-
sion of the melancholy event of the demise of his Royal Highness
the Duke of York. The Court was exceedingly crowded, and the
Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and all the members, wore mourning.

THE LATE Di'l,lE OF YORE. •
The LORD MAYOR said, that it was not customary, on occa-
sions of this kind, to address the Crown, because of the pain Which
would attend the necessity of a reply. But it was usual to pass a
resolution expressive of the regret of the Court. The better to
manifest their respect for the illustrious deceased, his Lordship
suggested that all those matters usually transacted at the first
Court after St. Thomas's Day, should be adjourned to a future
Court.

The several new members having taken the necessary oaths,
Mr. OLDHAM (after moving the suspension of the standing
order which 'Noires the appointment of the committees to take
place at the next Court after St. Thomas's Day) stated that the
actions of every public man were regarded with a difference of
opinion by many persons; and he admitted that there were many
of the late Duke of York's actions on which some of the hest men
in the country differed, They must all, however, deplore the
death of his Royal Highness as a brother, as a public patron, and
as Commander-in-Chief of the forces. Aga brother, the Duke of
York had stood high in the affections of every member of the
Royal Family. As a public patron, no man wig better entitled
to their gratitude. The Worthy member then referred to the
occasions of the Royal Duke attending the ceremony of laying the
first stone of the new building erected in Christ's Hospital, and
of meeting the Corporation in this very room only a year and half
ago, from which he accompanied them to lay the first stone of
London Bridge. Lastly, as Commander-in-Chief, he received
credit from all Europe for raising the character of our army by
constantly improving its discipline and promoting the comfort of
the soldiers. He would say no more, but propose the following
resolution, which he was confident would meet with the unani-
mous adoption of the Court. (For_ the terms of the resolution,
see advertisement.)
Mr. FAVELL seconded the resolution, and perhaps be might be
allowed just to refer to refer to one instance of his Royal High-
ness's condescension which he (Mr. Favell) bad witnessed. It was
when, during the mayoralty of the worthy Alderman (Waithman),
he went on board the city barge, to view the improvements on
the river, and try the practicability of Colonel Trench's plan.
Upon that occasion his Royal Highness displayed the greatest
affability, and paid the most anxious attention to the minutest
details- of the proposed measure: the Duchess of Rutland
leaned on his arm all the while, and both he and she were
now no more.

Mr. Alderman WAITHIZAN highly approved of the judicious
manner in which his worthy friend had introduced hie rssolu%
tion. Under these circumstances he most cordially supported the
resolution.

The resolution was then put and carried unanimously, and or-
dered to be advertised in all the Morning and Evening Papers.
—Adjourned.

The severity of the weather, and the partial stoppage of the
interior canals, caused rather more inquiry during the week for
all kinds of Grain, ready for delivery ; and in some instances ra-
ther better prices have been obtained. There was a very indif-
ferent attendance on 'Change, and although the frost appears on
the decrease, there has been a moderate business doing at last
week's rates.
