Messrs. Mylne and Craig, Revising Barristers for the City of

Lon.. don, opened their Courts on Thursday. The Liberals have made 23 claims, and P20 objections; the Tories, 170 claims, and 470 objections.

The Middlesex registration, as far as it has proceeded, gives a con- siderable advantage to the Tories, both on the claims and the ob- jections.

At a meeting of the Court of Common Council, on Thursday, Mr. R. L. Jones brought up the Report of the London Bridge Committee, which detailed the improvements recently effected in the City, particu- larly in the neighbourhood of the Bank, the Mansionhouse, and Lon- don Bridge. It is proposed to improve the approaches from the South side of Cheapside to Southwark Bridge, and to make other alterations, by which the crowds of carriages and passengers, which frequently block up the Poultry, may be in part diverted. A better communication from Lothbury to the Post-office, on the North side, is also to be made. The improvements already effected bad left a surplus of 50,000/. in the hands of the Committee ; the prices obtained for the ground-rents of buildings in the recently opened streets having more than compensated for the cost of the alterations. Nluch satisfaction was expressed on all sides with the conduct of the Committee; who were authorized to continue the execution of the plans proposed.

The Royal Entertainment Committee of the Common Council met on the 20th instant, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the most advisable course of proceeding as to the issue of

the medal commemorative of her Majesty's visit to the City of London, on the 9th of November last. The Coin inittee Caine to the determina-

tion to limit the circulation of this very beautiful work of art. The

principal argument in favour of the proposition to circumscribe the issue was, that the likeness and the workmanship were of so decidedly

a superior kind, that it would be injudicious to depreciate the value by making the medal attainable beyond the precincts of the Corporation ! The meeting which came to this extraordinary decision was fortunately a very small one, and it is probable that the illiberal decision may be rescinded.—Couriee.

At a meeting of the proprietors of East India Stock, on Wednesday, Sir Charles Forbes expressed great satisfaction that the abominable traffic in Hill Coolies had been stopped ; though it had unhappily been carried on to some extent, as appeared by accounts from Calcutta and Demerara. Of the number consigned from Calcutta to Demerara, between thirty and forty had died in consequence of bad treatment, or bad provisions. He wished to know whether the Court of Directors had taken any measures to protect the Hill Coolies, who, before the

order for preventing their exportation had arrived, must have been con- veyed to the West Indies in considerable numbers? Sir James Law Lushington, Chairman, said he was aware that the traffic, as Sir

Charles Forbes chose to call it, bad been stopped : the natives of India would be protected by the regulations already made for that purpose. Mr. Weeding suggested, that the Government of Demerara might be instructed to see that the unfortunate Hill Coolies were protected. The Chairman said, that the Court were willing to receive any suggestions for the protection of those people.

It was agreed to grant 5,0001. to the estate of Mr. William Fraser, a servant of the Company, who was assassinated on the 22d of March MI5, at Delhi, in consequence of his conscientious discharge of his

duty. Sir Charles Forbes declared his belief that Mr. Fraser had not been assassinated ; that the supposed assassin' had been improperly

executed ; and be objected to the payment of 5,0001. to the creditors, not the family, of Mr. Fraser. Nine proprietors, for these reasons, demanded a ballot ; which is to take place on the 9th of October, when the question of the grant will be finally determined.

A warm discussion occurred in the Vestry-room of St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate Street, on Thursday, on a motion for a fourpermy Church- and. Poor-rate ; but the motion was carried, by a large majority.

The Eastern Counties Railway Company are making great exertions to get their line to Rumford completed. Two sets of men. one for the day and the other for the night, are now forcing the work forward at Stratford, Ilford, and Chadwell. The bridges are built in the most substantial manner ; and the works generally do great credit to their talented engineer, Mr. Brathwaite. who is unremitting in his attention

on the line. Essex Standard —LWe understand that Mr. Brathwaite is acting in a most extraordinary mariner in the execution of this great work. When a bridge is to be built, or an excavation made, he abso- lutely refers to the estimate, and limits the expenditure to the sum therein laid down ! By following this rule rigidly, instead of a million or two of excess, it is probable that the difference, on the entire work, between the estimate and the cost will be a mere trifle. In that case, the Eastern Counties Railway will he indeed a prodigy.]
