Marriages in and near London. 



[June 1, 



a law. A petition was agreed to ; but the 

 progress of the Bill has created a great sen- 

 sation in Spitaltields, lest pricfs should 

 be reduced by competition, as they are in 

 other manufactures. 



15. — Mr. Buxton made a motion, in the 

 success of which tiie hearts of all England 

 concur, for the abolition of West Indian 

 slavery. It was disposed of by Mr. Bux- 

 ton yielding to the nearly-similar resolu- 

 tions of Mr. Canning on tlie subject. 



16. — A nnmerons and respectable meet- 

 ing of the friends of the Greek cause, took 

 place at the Crown-and-Anclior Tavern. 

 Lord Milton presided, and addressed the 

 crowded meeting in a speech full of infor- 

 mation and eloquence. Several animated 

 speeches were made by Sir James Mackin- 

 tosh, Lord John Russel, Mr. John Smith, 

 Mr. Hobliouse, Lord W. Bcntinck, Lord 

 A, Hamilton, Mr. Charles Sheridan, Mr, 

 Henry Hunt, and Archdeacon Bathurst. 

 Various resolutions were unanimously 

 agreed to, and between 700/. and 9001. 

 subscribed. Tlie Duke of Bedford and 

 Mr. Hunt subscribed 100/. each ; and we 

 should hope, as this is a Christian as well 

 as a political cause, that rclig.ious societies 

 throughout the empire will zealoiisly aid 

 the subscription by collection^, and other- 

 wise. No cause can be more worthy of 

 special sermons, and collections from house 

 to house. 



— . — Sir James Mackintosh made his 

 usual eloquent appeal against the laws in- 

 flicting capital punishment for certain 

 offences; but his motion was lost. 



ai. — Mr. H. Martin introduced a Bill 

 to prevent the disgraceful national prac- 

 tices of bull and dog fighting. It was 

 opposed, to the astonishment of all his 

 friends, by Mr. Brougham, who justified 

 these atrocitits on the ground, that other 

 equal atrocities were practised with im- 

 punity. In this extraordinary sentiment 

 lie was supported by Sir M. \V. Ridley ; 

 and a Bill, whicli would have been honour- 

 able to the age and legislature, was 

 promptly rejected. Vl'e hope, however, 

 that Mr. Martin will persevere, and shame 

 bis opponents. 



The Court of Common Council have 

 resolved on rebuilding London-bridge, 

 Government have otfered a grant of 

 3 50,000/. in aid of the Corporation, to be

 Fund. It ivil! be necessary to pull down 

 .seventeen houses on the London side of 

 the bridge, and sixty-five on the South- 

 wark side, in order to form the proper ap- 

 proaches. The estimated expense of this 

 part is 300,000/. The Bridge, Messrs. 

 Rennie had gtvtn security, to the amount 

 cf iOOjOOO/. would not cost more than 

 400,000/. The whole estimated expense 

 was 700,000/. while the Corporation has 

 more than 800,000/. available, leaving a 

 large surplus to meet contingencies.
