COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday
at Guildhall, in consequence of a Requisition to con-
sider the propriety of rescinding the Order for in-
scribing the Resolution of the 13th of July last, re-
spectipg assembling a Military Force' during the
Meeting of a Common Hall, under the Statue of
Mr. Alderman BECKFORD.

In consequence of the continued indisposition of
the LORD MAYOR, Sir C. S. HUNTER, Bart. was ap-
pointed locum- teuent, and presided accordingly.
Sir C. S. HUNTER laid before the Court a letter
from Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, addressed to the LORD
Mayon, upon the subject of the Requisition, which

being read,
OLDHADI introduced the business in a speech
of considerable length, and concluded by moving
a Resolution for rescinding the order directing the
said Resolution to be put up in the Guildhall, and also
the instructions of the last Court to the Committee of
City Lands to proceed with the original motion.
A long discussion ensued, in the course of which
the conduct of Alderman BRIDGES was not justified ;
but it was contended that enough had been done by
the publicity which had already been given to the
unanimous Resolution of censure passed by the
Court. On the shew of hands being taker, a very
great majority appeared in favour of rescinding the
motion; a division was demanded, and the numbers
were as follow :

For rescinding the Resolution:

Locums Tomtit 1; Aldermen 12; Commoners 84 ; Tellers 2—E9
Against it - Alderman 1; Commoners 39 ; Tellers 2-42
Majority for rescinding the Resolution - 57.

THE TREASURY.—" When Lord came first
to be Lord Treasurer, he complained to the Lord
Chancellor, BAcoN, of the troublesomeness of the
place, for that the Exchequer was empty. The LORD
CHANCELLOR answered—' My Lord, be of good cheer,
for now you shall see the bottom of your business first.'"
Our Guardians of the Public Purse have inverted this
mode of proceeding, but if not at first, they have at
last arrived at this, fundamentalfeatere of their office.
LEASES AND TITLE DEEDS.—Dr. JOHNSON has ob-
served, that deeds and bonds are the greatest possible
libels on the honesty of mankind. "In times past,"
says SruanEs, "when men dealt uprightly, and in
the fear of Gon, five or seven lines were sufficient foe
the assurance of any piece of land whatsoever ;pose
40, 60, 100, 200, 500, nay, a whole skin of parch-
ment, and sometimes two or three skips of parchment
will hardly serve."
Firm—Wednesday afternoon, a fire broke out
in Neale paper-mill, in the Parish of Bradnincb,
Devon, the property of Mr. Jour.; DEVIDNET. The
flames raged with great fury, and were not got under
until the whole of the extensive manufactory, toge-
ther with a large stock of paper, &c. several• out-
buildings, and upwards of 200 bushels of wheat,
were consumed; the dwelling-hot:se is also nearly
destroyed. The property is insured, but in a sum
far short of the loss sustained. By this accident sixty
persons are thrown out of employment. We have
not heard by what cause the fire originated.
CORN ExcHmtod, Mmtx-I.Are, Jura 29.—1 n consequence of
superabundant supplies of Wheat and the favourableness of the
weather, a very great depression in sales has taken place, and
what trifling quantity was got off to-day was at a decline of Ss.
per. quarter from Monday's pukes, on_ the finest samples; but
there was not the least demand fur inferior qualities. Barter
supports. Monday's pricer, having tut little at market. The Oat
tiaile was very heavy, at.d rather lower, having but few buyers.
In Beans and Peas no alteration. _ _ _

QRVELTY TO ANIMALS.
Bow-Sraxm.—Yesterday Henry .kffery, the coachman to Ro-
nald George Macdonald, F.sq. of CharTes-street, Berkeley-square,
was brought to the Office, on a warrant, charging him with a
breach of the peace, and a violent assault upon James White-
heal, coachman to Mr. Butler Danvers, who stated that he was
called up, and was proceeding in the rank, to enter the gate to
the Center-yard of Devonshirs-House, at the Grand Entertaies-
tuent given by his Grace yesterday se'nnight ; when the prisoner,
who was not in the rank, forced his carriage to break it, to enter
the Court-yard before him, and, in endeavouring to do so, both
the carriages got locked together, and the prisoner continuing to
flog his horses, drove Mr. Danvers's carriage against the iron
r ling which guards the buttress of the gate-way, and one of the
bur s rearing up, he fell on the spikes which entered his body

,knocked off his box under the coach, and had the carriage been'
able to proceed, iu all probability he would have been killed on
the spot. The prisoner flogged his horses most desperately, 'and,

Westminster Sessions. His master; Mr. Macdonald, was doe
of his bail, and Mr. W. Baxter, the coackmaker, the other.

Mr. Farm, a respectable gentleman, who resided
in Camden Town, riding out on Sunday, his horse
took fright and ran off with him. Mr. Faint was
thrown against a post, and received such injury as
raised his death on Wednesday evening.
Wednesday se'nnight a young man of the name of Archibald
Wallace one of the workmen employed in erecting a scaffold at
the bridge now building over Cartland Craigs, in Lanarkshire,
fell from the scaffold a the ground, a height of 100 fret, and
was tilled. _ _ .

There has been much disgraceful rioting and
drunkenness on the streets of Ayr, for some weeks
past, especially on the Saturday nights and Sunday
mornings. On the morning of Sunday se'nnight, in pir-
ticular, two privates of the Fourth Dragoon Guards,
a party of whom are stationed there, were, on their
way home, assaulted by some disorderly and riotous
persons, and greatly abused. The soldiers, in con-
sequence, ran to their lodgings and returned armed
, to the street. The scuffle was renewed, and, in the
course of it, one man, a shoemaker, received a
severe cut on the back part of his head with a sword.
The affray has been inquired into by the Sheriff, and
twu soldiers and a tradesman are in confinement.
