motion

of Mr. Pellatt, a resoluticia w1,5 imsse,1 in the Common ConneU of Wed- nesday, by a majority id:if; w :;i, referring it to the: Committee relative to wholesale dealers, to prepare a by-la,v, '- that every person otherwise entitled to the freedom of the City be admitted upon taking the freeman's oath according to the tOrms of his own religion.' The chief opponent of this wise and just measure was Sir Peter Liorie and :Mr. Tiekner. The City people say good things at times. Mc. Thornton, speaking in favour of the resolut..,n, said Religious tests were as much misplaced in a commercial community, as would ha te.ts as to a person's belief about free trade, or tile currency, in a candidate for admission to holy orders." It is always good to know the advocates of intolerance, so we give the minority on this not unimpartant division.

ST. Du WS TAX S ir.—The inhabitants of St. Dunstan's parish came to a resolution some time ago to remove this ancient edifice from its present site, in order to widen the street, provided they were sup- ported by the City of London, which is so deeply interested in the con- templated improvement. The cost of a new site was estimated at 18,0001. ; the value of the old at 10,0001. The City authorities, when, after a long lapse of time, they consented to move in the business, offered the parishioners 4,000/. ; and the Commissioners of Sewers offered 4.000/. more, coupled with thievery modest condition, that theparishioners should purchase and remove three houses besides the Church, at the additional cost of 10.0001. Under these circumstances, the people of St. Dunstan's had but one path to pursue : they told the City people that they had already offered much more than they were in fairness called on to do, and that since their offer had been received in such a spirit, they would proceed at once to rebuild the church on its present site. This notice was presented to the Common Hall on Wednesday, and pro- duced some sensation. We regret the continuance of a serious ob- Struction to the thoroughfare of Fleet Street, but cannot help commend. ing the parishioners for their spirit and decision.

Crry WATCH —A committee was some time ago appointed to in- - quire into the condition of the City Veatch, and to suggest amendments. A sub-committee of their number offered a plan essentially the same as

that which has been adopted in the county, but this was refused to be sanctioned by the committee. Sir l'eter Laurie was the chief opponent of the plan. .Another sub.committee, of Sir Peter's party, was then ap- pointed to draw up his plan. but no report has hitherto been made.

They have, it is said, examined a great many persons concerning the value and conduct of the new pollen; and avian;; the rest Air Sergeant Deninion. That gentleman stated to the std.-committee, that i'or the first few sessions that the new police attended to give evidence at the 1 rid Bailey. he hall formed an opittioit extremely favourable to their activity and zeal ; but that he had of late been induced to alter that opinion very materially, ond to believe that their principal object in givine- evidence was the r.,..re,,tation of their expenses. He also said that 1!,, considered the !it y police to he mooch superior to those employed in the county.

of Mr. Hunt's plan—if practicability means that which can be put in practice—we have not the slightest doubt : but we confess we think the chances of success in the one case are quite as small as in the other, not- withstanding the sanguine hopes of the Council. The middle classes they may get, and perhaps the lower ; but they will pluck the stars from the sky as soon as bring down the higher to their proposals.

PROOFS OF PnosPERITy.—The weavers of Rochdale have been of- fered by their masters within ten per cent. of the prices of 1824 ; but they have refused, and the strike in consequence continues. The Man. chester Times heads this intelligence as we have done ; but from the way our contemporary treats it, we suppose he wishes the words to be received in any but their common meaning. For our parts, we are at a loss to understand what is meant by prosperity among workmen, if it be not a period when they can afford to cease from working. We are far from blaming men for standing for twenty shillings when they are offered eighteen shillings ; but to speak of their sufferings in such a case, is a high joke. What description of produce or manufacture has not fallen 10 per cent. since 1824 ? And why not wages ?
