A Court of Common Counci was ye6terday held a' (;uildhall. The REaXEMnB1tANCEt laid befote the tourt the acts of Parlia- ment for redueiog the rate oF jntert of the debts on the navigation and coal-market-funds, and also the act for the removal of Fleet- market; which were referred to the respectivc committees. b1STREssED SErTLERS AT THE CAPE. The report of the committee upon this subject was read; it recom- mended a donation to be given of 3001. iLr. SAVA\GE, in moving that the Court agree with the conmrAttee in their report, observed, that whilst they voted sums of 1,0001. to the Russians, the Austrians, the Portuguese, the Spaniards, the Greeks, &c., they ought to recollect that their own fellow.d.izens who were sufferinig the last exteemnity of distrezs in a remote and savage country, had a still stronger claim upon their beneso- lence. ltihad beeYa his intention to move for a larger sui than that recommended by the report, b..t lie had abandoned it upon being given to understand that iL rould net have rnet the approbation of 1 tlie Court. Mr. DixoN thought the worthy member had acted wisely in not pressing for a larger aunn. Considering all the calls which had beeis lat2ly made u~p0n the cohrt, he lcoked upon 3001. to be a very liberal donation. In fact, the vote of a large sum vwas off en more injurious lthan benelScial to the objects of it; tbr it prevented amnor corpora- tions and companies from giving any thing. Ir. FAVELT. said that since Government had taken an active part in induding these unhappy persons to emigrate, they ought it hare taken on themselves altogether the duty of relieving them. He believed, however, they had done something hAndsome; and it was not his intention to opoose the present gran'. The motion was agreed to unanimiously. nLACKFgkAiIS-BRIDnGO. A report was read from the Bridyehouse Committee stating that they had had a conference witha Lord Liverpool and the Chnncellor of the Exchequer, on the subject of an application to Parliament for funds to repair Blackfriars.bridge; whlen these individuals told them that they would not be allowed to draw upon the Orphans' | PFnd for that purpose. The report, therefore, stated, that it would l not be advisable to renew the application to Parliament this session. After some discussion u on this subject, in the course of which it vws recommended to lIl'Adamize the bridge,both with a view to save it from bein4 shaken as it is at present by carts and wnggons, and to prevent those accidents to horses which aree daiRy cutring, the report was agreed to. * COrMON rOUNCIL;
