feIIow, being deaf, he was compelled to leave the bench in

standing his remarkable likeness to the late Jour REEVE,

years—is dignified, calm, and sober always in his
Judgment ! Well, the City Commissioners have this
great legal authority pretty well at their head—cer-
tainly at their elbow. They meet and sit wide-mouthed
in their stately chamber, lent to them for the nonce, and
hear any antiquated, one-eyed, and spiteful gander, who
chooses to offer evidence touching city iniquity. Copious

Bribery—Gluttony—Nepotism ! together with a thousand
concomitant vices. Pshaw ! Sir J. PATTESON don't believe

ling points he is monstrously wrong. So-and-so is nephew
to an alderman—no he ain't. That peaceful man HENRY
CHILD, " friend and partner" of Alderman and Sheriff
WIRE, is returning officer for Finsbury. No, I ain't,
says Mr. CHILD ! Touching the election of Alderman
CARROLL to the civic chair;—gross bribery there,
swore Mr. ACLAND. Not a sixpence, answered Sir GEouGs
CARROLL! The election of Alderman LAWRENCE, too, is
charged to the top with bribery; it cost £6,000, swore
witness ACLAND; the Alderman denies that his election
cost so much as half a pint of beer ! These are only a few
samples which, by-and-bye, will form a blue book to cost
the country more than the £6,000, mentioned above, in hard
cash. The Times newspaper, always " pitching" into the
Corporation, sucks in this evidence. The expressed dislike
—contempt, indeed—of the Times' people for the city.is
marvellous, for one and all of them receive uniformly
invitations to the best places at all the city banquets, and
