Tire CITY.—A Court of Common Council was held on Thursday morning at Guildhall, and very numerously attended. After an unanimous vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, a report was presented from the London Bridge Com- mittee, for sealing a deed to the Lords of the Treasury for a further advance of 50,000/. to complete the approaches to the new bridge. The plan of the pro_ posed arch over Thames Street was discussed. There was also a discussion con- cerning the threatened ejectment of Mr. Clarke the butcher, at Fleet Market: in defending the propriety of the intimation, Mr. Legg did not appear to much ad vantage ; and Mr. Alderman Waithman talked some nonsense about the press and taxation.

Application is to be made, in the ensuinesession of Parliament, for bills, giving powers for constructing the following works :—An arcade, or covered way, from Picket Place, Strand, to Serie Street ; from Bishopsgate Street to Broad Street ; from Lothbury to London Wall ; and also, a bill for an aqueduct, with all its ramifications, for the conveyance of pure water from divers springs. in the parish of Wimbledon, and upon or near to the line of the said aqueduct, to or near the metropolis.

The burning cif bad meat is still enforced in the City. On Monday there was a grand sacrifice of beef at Nesegate Market. The Anniversary Festival of St. Andrew, for the benefit of the Scottish Hos- pital, was celebrated on Monday, in the Old London Tavern, Bishopsga.te Street. The Duke of Clarence, the President, having been prevented by a bilious attack from attendingthe meeting, Colonel Macdonald of Glengarry was called to the chair. Some handsome subscriptions were made. The Royal Society held its anniversary meeting on Monday, and elected members for the new Council of next year. The President, Mr. Davies Gilbert, stated that the Council had adjudged the first Royal medal to Mr. Charles Bell, for his profound researches on the nervous system ; and the second to Mr. Ma- jendie, for his investigation into organic matter. The legal profession in London, already sufficiently formidable, has this week been reinforced by an addition of one hundred and forty solicitors.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have at present under consideration a question arising out of the misconduct of the clerk of a leading jobber, by which he has sustained very heavy losses, the clerk having entered into extensive specu- lations, not only in English, but likewise in Foreign Stocks, without the know- ledge and consent of the individual he represented. The latter having now paid the whole amount of the differences incurred, has formally called upon the Com- mittee to inflict the penalty on one or two of the parties concerned in these trans- actions with the clerk, which amounts to expulsion from the Stock Exchange. The parties against whom the charge is brought, we understand, contend that it is totally destitute of foundation ; and that from the nature of the transactions, both as respects English and Foreign Securities, the accuser must have been fully aware of what engagements his agent had undertaken. A large quantity of C011-• SOIS sold by the clerk for a particular account, we believe the last, was made up, as it is termed, through the dealer who is the sufferer, and his clerk, and those against whom the Committee is required to pass its vote of censure. It does appear extraordinary, that the suspicions of the sufferer by the defalcation should not have been before awakened ; or rather, that he did not keep a more watchful eye over his agent, who has carried on these practices for upwards of twelve months. The chief amount of the losses has, however, occurred within the last three months, especially by the advances in Russian Bonds, which have risen up- wards of 10 per cent. since the termination of the war between Russia and Turkey. It would appear, however, that the fault, if ally, arises front implicit confidence havineb been placed by the principal in his clerk ; which, ills hoped, will prove a useful lesson to the other members of the Stock Market.—Jiloreine Chronicle.

At a meeting of the Proprietors of the Waterloo Bridge, held on Thursday, it sseis stated that the receipts of the past half-year amounted only to 67411.8s. I id., :being 5011. I7s. 3d. less than the receipts of the last half-year. The decrease was ' attributed to the heavy rains ! From the Auditors' Report, it appeared that the balance in hand was net more than 22/, 19s. 114, and the total debt against the

Company was wpm.

On Thursday evening, a snug little meeting was held in the vestry-room of the parish of St. Clement Danes, to discuss, as it appeared, the expenses of their anniversary dinner. The reporters were very soon ordered out of the room. A meeting of the London Mechanics' Institution took place last night, for the .purpose of distributing prizes for original inventions. The successful candidates were a Mr. Poole and a Mr. M‘Duff, both of whose inventions were pronounced to be of high value by the judges. The High Sheriff of Lincoln has declined to comply with a requisition that he should call a county meeting to petition Parliament on the malt and beer taxes,— - on the ground that Miaisters must have the gate of the whole country under con- sideration, and that it is unfair to embarrass :hem by applications for partial relief.

On this declaration the Morning Journal of :o-day comments rather sharply. It asks what means the Sheriff of Lincoln has cf judging of the intentions of Minis-

ters? and what right he has to attempt stifle the expression of public feeling in the district over which he presides ? The Duke of Gloucester arrived at Glom:ester House, Park Lane, yesterday, from his seat in Bagshot Park.

The 'Times of Friday lays before its reae.ers an account of a system, by which masters at Birmingham pay their workmen with commodities, instead of money; thus extorting, as the correspondent of the Times observes, a profit on the goods which the labourers consume, as well as the natural profits on their work, while the independence of the poor operatives is totally destroyed. All this is done, too, under pretext of providing for the best interests of the workmen—for the purpose of preventing the misapplication of their wages to purposes of de- bauchery. Governments used formerly to take the same affectionate interest in the welfare of subjects, which these worthy masters do in that of those by whose labour they live. The Magistrates of the district are beginning to exert them- selves in checking this current of Brummagem benevolence.

The Government Surveyor has estimated the expense of the London and Bir mingham Canal at 450,000/. , At Mrs. Beaumont's rent audit last week, it was intimated, that in consequence of the depression of the times, Mrs. Beaumont intended to have her farms re- valued by a person to be chosen by the tenants themselves, together with her own agent. The tenants might then choose whether to pay the lowered rents or remove. This scheme Mrs. Beaumont held to be better than returning so much per cent., for it will render unnecessary the sacrifices which are forced upon tenants in raising the whole amount of their present rents.

The Rev. J. Herringham, Rector of Chadwell, near Grays, on Monday last met his parishioners over a convivial bowl, and after deducting ten per cent. front their payments, assured them that he would be ready next year to make a figther sacrifice should circumstances require it.

It is said that it is the intention of Government to have the Cavalry Barracks near Kensington Gardens pulled down, and also the unsightly cottages adjoining them, which, as well as the barracks, are in a very dilapidated state. The bar- racks are merely used as a station by a detachment of Light Dragoons who are employed on the express duty between London and Windsor, &c. The troops who perform the above duty will then be stationed in the Cavalry Barracks at ' Knightsbridge.

The capitalists of Glasgow have it in contemplation to form a magnificent rail- way between that town and Carlisle.

TIIE Intse BOARD Or Cusrosms.—We announced some time since that the Irish Board of Customs would cease to exist after the 5th of January. We find that an order has been issued from the Customhouse of Dublin, apprizing the merchants and traders, that after that day the functions of the Dublin Board are to cease, and that all applications relating to the revenue of customs are to be addressed to the General Board of Customs in London.—Dublin:, Morning Re- gister.

The Dublin correspondent of an evening contemporary says—" So numerous and pressing are the claims on the Committee for relieving the distressed weavers in the Liberty, that they have been obliged to limit the modicum of relief to one penny per diem for each claimant. Subscriptions are completely at a stand still; and the residue of the sum collected is so small, that the operations of the Com- mittee must of necessity close shortly after Christmas. Thousands of the wretched inhabitants of the Liberty are obliged to exist upon a penny a day, and to sleep upon a little straw, without a blanket to cover them. It is idle to hope for a resuscitation of the weaving trade in Dublin, in any of its branches; and humanity and good sense would point out, as the best course to he adopted under the circumstances, the increase of the income of such charitable institutions as the Mendicity, in order to enable them to receive and maintain the poor weavers and their wretched families. Before the close of the next week, no less than five hundred cotton-weavers, in addition to those already out, will be destitute of em- ployment."

In the Dublin Court of King's Bench, last Saturday, Mr. M'Donnell, for a libel on the Earl of Kingston, was sentenced to pay a fine of 50/. to the King, be im- prisoned six month; in the gaol of Kilmainharn, and give security to be of the peace for seven years;shimnself in 5001., andawo securities in 250/. each.

Conway. ksolicitor who had formerly conducted a case for the prisoner, .

Mr. Const, the Chairman of the Westminster Sessions, who was stated last week to have changed the sentence of a boy from seven years' transportation to transportation for life, entered publicly into his defence yesterday during the business of the Middlesex Sessions. He stated that he had not changed the boy's sentence—he had merely called him back, and told him that it ought to be changed, while at the same time he told the Clerk of the Peace to take no notice of his re mark.

TREASURE FOUND.—A curious conversation took place at Bow Street-on Wed- nesday, between Mr. Halls, Mr. Sykes, a professional man, and a housekeeper

in the neighbourhood of Bedford Square. The latter stated, that a short time ago, two gentlemen who lodged in his house, found concealed under the bed a sum of money in gold, notes, S:c. amounting to between three and four hundred pounds. They delivered the money up to him ; and as the house was a lodging-house,

and the bed had within a short period been occupied by different gentlemen, he advertised for an owner of the property in two morning papers. Manyap- plications had been made ; and Mr. Sykes having applied on behalf of a friend who resided in the country, had stated that his friend lost the money and also a pocket-book a short time ago in London. There was, however, no pocket-book found with the money, nor did the money stated by Mr. Sykes to have been lost by his friend correspond either in amount or denomination with that found its the bed. Mr. Sykes said that he could not learn what was the actual amount found in the bed. Mr. Halls thought that the housekeeper had exercised much prudence and discretion in concealing the amount, as well as the sort of money ; and he recommended Mr. Sykes to give him a written statement of the money lost by his friend, and also for the housekeeper to give him a statement of the money found in the bed ; and he should say whether Mr. Sykes had any just claim to it, on the part of his friend. This arrangement was agreed to.

Mr. Spearman, a gentleman of eccentric habits, appeared at Bow Street yes- terday, and made good his claim to the money. He stated that he must have been intoxicated when he put it under his mattress. He had quite forgotten the circumstance, and given the money up for lost.

The son of Major-General Hook, who was brought to Bow Street last week by some of his friends, to answer charges of swindling, has been discharged.

A solicitor applied at Bow Street on Tuesday, to apprehend a man named Sykes, on a charge of swindling. Mrs. Sykes has a small property, and Sykes introduced a woman to the solicitor as his wife, who was anxious to raise 200/. and an annuity of '201. upon it. The simple solicitor advanced the 200/. and has since discovered that Mrs. Sykes knew nothing of time transaction. Mr. Meves of Southampton Street, Covent Garden, had his watch and seals, worth twenty guineas, stolen by a person who _called oe pretence of looking at rooms which were to be let in Mr. Neves's house. An artist of some repute was charged at Bow Street on Wednesday with the theft; and the servant swore he was the person who had purloined her master's property. The artist laughed during the examination, though Mr. Halls opined that there was nothing laugh- able in a charge of felony. When Mr. Meves arrived, he at once declared that the prisoner was not the man, and the artist was discharged.

Thomas Taylor was committed at Bow Street on Monday, for stealing from a shop in Chancery Lane, a valuable looking-glass and a large quantity of gold leaf:

Mary Murray was sentenced at Hatton Garden, on Wednesday, to pay a tine of 5/. or suffer two months' imprisonment, for an assault which she had committed on a Mrs. Hayward. As soon as the prisoner heard the sentence, she seized the , leaden inkstand on the desk, and attempted to throw it with great force at Mr. Rogers. Luckily, however, Lincoln, the inspector, was just behind her, and seizing her arm at the instant, it fell short of its aim.

A young e man of the name of Gander was committed at Worship Street, on Thursday, for robbing his landlady of a great many articles of value.

Samuel Pulling was committed at the Town Hall on Wednesday, for playing the postman in Blackfriars Road, and exacting threepence for sundry sheets of blank paper folded up like letters.

Mrs. Edge of Essex Street, Strand, whose house was broken into in August last, and robbed of a great amount of property, has recovered a considerable por- tion of it from various pawnbrokers.

A man named Cripps won charged at the Mansionhouse, on Tuesday, with havims, broken into and robbed Ills East India Company's stores at Houndsditch. lie had entered between one and two o'clock on Monday morning, and made the most of his time in throwing hales of China crape, silks, and shawls, into the street ; but in throwing a rope after them for the purpose of descending, he mis- calculated the nature of tbe ground immediately under the window, and landeil himself in time cess-pool ; where he would have been suffocated but for the assist- ance of persons whom his cries brought to the spot. The ground resembled an oriental bazaar. Upwares of 400/. worth of goods were scattered about. The height from which he descended was seventy feet.

A young man, respectably connected, was committed atMary-le-bone on Thurs. day, for robbing his employers, who are mercers in Ludgate Hill.

It was decided yesterday at Union Hall, that bakers have no right to sell what they term" fancy bread,' without weighing it. If they do so, they subject themselves to the penile of 40/.

A LONG STORY WITH FEW INCIDENTS.--The Morning Chronicle now prints its I reports in large "leada" type, and we suppose the souls of the reporters have undergone a correspond:Lig enlargement. Our inference is derived from the following account of a case which was tried on Tuesday at the Middlesex Sessions. "Sarah Gale a welf-dressed portly lady, of noted John Bull dimen- sions, was indicted for violently assaulting Elizabeth Martin, and putting her imagination in danger. Mr. Dunn was for the prosecution, and Mr. Adol- phus for the defence. The case excited much laughter. It appeared that Elizabeth Martin had bdged with the daughter of Mrs. Gale, whose temper was of astormy nature, and in a few seconds could go through all the transitions of a calm, a slight breeze, a gale, a storm, or a perfect hurricane. Miss Martin, whose fec.ings Mrs. Gale was determined to hurt by calling her plain Betty Martin, bore her insults to a point beyond which patience would cease to be a cardinal virtue, and become of positive injury to the tone of decent society. Miss Martin, derefore determined to leave Miss Gale's lodgings, and she departed in a true spirit of Christian forgiveness ; for she left the house without seeing her landlady, fearing that an interview might provoke a difference of sentiments, which is always to be avoided by persons of refinement and de.. licacy. Miss Martin was so Christian-like that she forgot her wrongs, which would have. been highly comtnendable, but unfortunately she forgot one other! circumstance—i. e. to pay her rent. So unconscious was Miss Martin that this could produce any that she went next day from 12, Charles-street, Covent Garden, her recent domicle, to the house of the prisoner, when the hel- ium, the horribile helium, eneued. "So, Madame," said Mrs. Gale, "you have run away without paying my daughter the rent, but I will soon make a rent in your silk gown—though you have got a gold watch, which a gentleman gave you." "1 have," said Miss Martin, " a silk gown, and a good silk bonnet." "Yes," said Mrs. Gale, " a bonnet, and it is a saucy head that has that hat upon It." Upon this Miss Elizabeth Martin made a reply defensive, on which Mrs. Gale ejaculated, "that's all my eye and Betty Martin," and suiting the action to the word, she put her knuckles into the face of Miss Martin, and left decided marks of her knuckual powers. For this free use of her natural, unsophisticated powers, she was now indicted. It appeared, however, that Miss Gale's daugh- ter's house was not like the house of Tudor, or any of the other illustrious houses of antiquity—it more resembled numerous houses on the estate of the house of Russell, near Covent Garden—houses of great repute, but unfortunately having the repute of a wrong nature. The bill against Miss Elizabeth Martin had been swelled from a few shillings to many pounds, in the way common with some elderly ladies who wish to have yeiung ladies under their surveillance. After much cross-examination of the defendant's witnesses by Mr. Dunn, the prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to pay five pounds good and lawful money of the realm, though the worst species of money, in point of its mode of acquisition in the realms or purlieus of the theatres. The prisoner opened a huge purse, which seemed full of notes and gold, and she paid the five pounds, begging the Court to let the fine go to some religious institution, or at least that none of it should be paid to that — Betty Martin."

ILLEGAL Mimc-Measuees.—On Wednesday, at the Court of Burgesses, held at the Guildhall, Westminster, a milkman appeared to a summons, charging him with having a halfpenny milk-measure in his possession, the same not being duly stamped. It appeared that the measure in question was not a legal measure, but held aboat the ninth part of a quart, which was the quantity served for a half- penny-worth of milk. The defendant was ordered to pay a fine of 5s. He said if that was the case, nearly all the milkmen in London were liable to be fined ; and asked the Chief Commissioner, Mr. Robson, how he must act when a cus- tomer asked him for a halfpenny-worth of milk, as he was prohibited using his measure. The Commissioner replied, he must guess at the quantity in his gill measure.

A medical student from Dublin was charged before one of the Magistrates of Liverpool, last week, with having a gallon of whisky in his trunk. He declared himself ignorant that the Customhouse prohibited the importation of so small a quantity for family use. The Magistrate said he was sorry that he had no discre- tion allowed him in the case; but the facts being sworn to, he was bound to detain the defendant unless he deposited the amount of the penalty (1001.) to abide the direction of the Commissioners of Customs as to any further proceeding, and the filial decision of the case.

A Mr. William Wilson, thirty-two years of age, dropped down opposite Fur nivaPs Inn, last week, and expired. On examination, it was found that he had

swallowed oxalic acid. A letter in his pocket contained some expressions of at- tachment to his wife, and a declaration "that he was cut off like a flower." A jury pronounced him to have been insane.

Three inquests were held on Tuesday, on infant children, who had been over- laid by their nurses or parents. In all the cases, the Jury have returned verdicts of Accidental Death.

Jane Mary M'Ginnis, a girl of sixteen, residing in Greenwich, swallowed oxalic acid last week, in a fit of jealousy, and died in consequence. She had formed an

unbounded attachment to a young man ; and though he did not appear to have encouraged her, she followed him everywhere, and on seeing him pay some at- tention to another woman, destroyed herself.

William More, farrier to the Horse Guards, hanged himself on Wednesday, at Notting Hill.

A man, whose name is unknown, died on Tuesday night, in Giltspur Street Compter, while in a state of intoxication.

A correspondent of the Times of this morning sta:es, that men, not unlike Spitalfields weavers, are in the habit of destroying silk dresses in the streets, by squirting acids upon them.

LONDON Tntetres.—The new police have driven many of the London burglars into the provinces. Last week, two attempts were made to break into tradesmen's houses in Newberry, Berks. On Friday last, the shop of Mr. Walsh, of Speen- hamland, was broken into, and watches and jewellery to a very considerable amount were carried off.

On Tuesday morning, twenty-five male convicts were removed from Newgate to Chatham, and put on board the Dolphin (the ship that lately sank), preparatory to their being conveyed out of the country; they are destined for New South Wales for life.

Mr. Hentig of Hull, whose melancholy fate we mentioned last week, sent some time ago two sons to a school at Hamburg. Stung apprehensions are en- tertained at Hull for their safety ; for it is known than Mr. Hentig sent them just before his death, some cakes, at the composition of which he assisted, and it is feared now that he mixed arsenic with the dough.

William Randall, a poacher, has been committed to Gloucester gaol, for shoot- ing at and wounding the gamekeeper of Mr. Niblett of Haresfield. A band of poachers last week visited the house of Mr. Hicks of Eastington, in Somersetshire, and shot a number of tame pheasants.

The Duke of Hamilton's gamekeeper was wounded :ast week, by a ball dis- charged from an air-gun. The ruffian who shot him has not been apprehended. A pensioner of the name of Kilduff has been committed in Dublin for the mur- der of a woman named Murray, with whose husband he had been quarrelling. Some very extensive frauds on the revenue have been lately discovered at Southampton, and an investigation at the Customhouse has just closed. One of the consequences is, that an Exchequer process has been issued against the land- lI and an agent to the proprietors of the packet which brought over part.

of the intercepted silks. The stun for which they are exchequered is about 5,000/. each, being treble the duties on the first goods seized by the Collector of Customs. Had the penalty sued been treble the duties on all the seizures, it is believed the amount would have exceeded 30,0004 The Northampton gaol was completely cleared of prisoners last week, and the doors thrown open !

Two men were set in the stocks before the Town Hall at Stamford, on Mon- day, for six hours, for being drunk is the streets on the Sabbath.

Tits HAODINGToN Mteuases.—We have heard that Emend, the person impri• soned on suspicion of having perpetrated these atrocious murders, has commenced the process of running his letters. The writ of this our Scottish habeas copus was served on the Lord Advocate on Friday last.—Edinburgh Observer.

The Brighton Gazette mentions an attempt at child-stealing. "Two ladies, ac- companied by a little girl about three years old, had gone into a draper's shop, and were occupied a few moments, when on turning round, they found that the child was gone. Immediate search was made ; but in the mean time the child had been met in the same street by the daughter (only nine years old) of a gen. tleman related to her. A strange man was leading the child, who at first refused to give her up, but at last did so, and went off. The child was then restored to its delighted friends ; and we are sorry to say no trace is left of the villain by whom she had been taken away."

A man was found dead near Huddersfield last week, with a tremendous cut upon his head. No proof has been obtained as to the manner of his death.

A young woman named Turner was murdered near Chard on Monday night. Her head was almost severed from her body, and one of her breasts was nearly cut off.

Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, dated the 2nd of November.—" The young Spaniard, Valdez, who lately took surreptitiously 4000/. sterling from Messrs. Aguirre, Vengravad, and Urriharen, bankers, was taken into custody yesterday morning. The police had taken the most active measures for the discovery of the delinquent. Telegraphs, couriers, and gendarmes, were all set in motion ; but every effort seemed useless, when the police was informed that he was secreted in the house of a Spanish lady in this town. Entrance into this house being pro- cured by an agent of the police, Valdez was discovered, and is now lodged safely entre guartre murailles."
