The Corporation of Bristol have exercised a sound discretion in

availing themselves of their power to abolish the Town-dues, for which they deserve the warmest thanks of their fellow citizens ; for, by- the 92d clause of the Municipal Reform Act, it is enacted, that it shall not be lawful for the Council in any borough in which there is all outstanding debt, to alter or reduce tolls, unless with the consent in writing under the hands of a majority in number and amount of the creditors. This consent it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain under existing circumstances. If, therefore, the present Cor- poration had not determined upon this measure, it could nut have been even entertained by the Town-Council hereafter to be elected for an indefinite space of time.—Bristol Journal. [It would seem from this that the Corporation has deprived their creditors of the security which the Legislature had provided for them in the Municipal Bill.1

The Birmingham clergy have resolved to celebrate the printing of Cove rdale's Bible, by preaching sermons on the subject in their various churches to-morrow. It is recommended that the question should be kept clear of political bias--good advice, which, in many instances, will certainly be disregarded. Cheap medals to commemorate the cele- bration are to be given to the Sunday-school children.

In one of the Norwich papers received in town on Saturday, there are no less than eighty-nine advertisements of sales of firms and agri- cultural property in that and the adjoining county of Suffolk.
