_ 1 4.--ee-_> / s s before` wiltst authority he had the hor.onr to appear. "Before the eitiaen chief of the Commune de Parts." answered Sobrier. The old man and the witness who de posed in his favour were then called on to give their names and addresses, and, after some protests of the accused, Sob rier exclaimed, " Allons! Por thts time be off with you, and do not begin the same work again !" Whilst this was passing in the large saloon, the windows of which open on the bolc2ny of the Rue de Rivoli, strange scenes were I occurring in the other rooms. For example, a voice cried front an adjoining room to the armed men in the ante chamber, " fdontagnard—one, two, three—let them pass! Montaguard, an order to be executed, &c., &c. As soon as the accused, having obtained a permission to pass, was set at liberty, our informant, who was also obliged to demand a paks, heard the observation, " We have frightened him terribly." Now, we ask, what is the authority of the Citizen Sobrier? By whom is he delegated? Wlnit is this garrison of three hundred mm., in blue blouses and red masher, whom he calls his Moulage arch, who protect all the approaches to the journal La Cuatmune de Paris? In what times do we live ? The third battalion of Chassenrs a pried, only just returned from Africa, received orders, when on its way to Toulouse, to proceed forthwith to the army of the Alps. A letter from St. Condone states that the forest of I Bolin had been sot on tire and was nearly consumed ; and that another tract of plantation, separating Chaun from St. Mut, had been in part burnt down some days before. At the time the letter was writ ten, the latter wood was burning to an extent of 10 or 12 kilometres (6 or 7 miles). The forest of Ma rignac also had been set on fire, but a heavy rain had extinguished the flames. Bands of thieves are laying waste the country around St. Etienne. These malefactors have directed their designs of devastation particularly against religious houses, under the impression that they must contain money. They entered a convent at St. Jenest-Lerpt, and, finding nothing of value that they could take away, destroyed the furniture, and did as much damage as they could. They also visited convents at Valera and St. Priest, and, after breaking the furniture to pieces, set fire to them. At Latour, the nuns gave their unwelcome visitors drink, an d, thus gaining time, were saved by the population coming to their aid. The national guards of Havre are signing an address of thanks and congratulation to the national guards of Paris, for their recent manifestation in defence of " order in liberty." The address concludes as fol lows:—" National guards, France contemplates you with gratitude ; she may now without fear confide to your patriotism the safeguard of her representatives. All your brothers in the provinces would be proud, like us, to march at your summons, if the inviolability of the national assembly should ever be meraced !" 1 \A man, yesterday, in com in g down from the Rue de Roule towards the Ru e Dau p hine, began to cry out " A bas la Republique ! " A number of persons soon seized him, flung him down, and trampled on him : he was immediately taken to the Prase- tare of Police. Another man was soon after arrested 1 near the same spot, for declaiming in favour of corn- ' munism. The crowd wanted to throw him into the ' Seine, and the man was actually for a moment sus pended over the water ; but some more reasonable persons interfered and saved him. He was also taken to the Prefecture of Police. The Messoger says:—" One of our subscribers asks who could have been the two horsemen, in blue half uniform coats, with embroidered collars, who on Sun day were near the esplanade of the Invalides, at the moment when the last files of the workmen of the Champ de Mars crossed the bridge on their way to the Hotel de Ville. One was short in stature, without beard, and with long hair. At the following words, spoken by the workmen who surrounded him and his companion, ' Can we rely on your assistance ?' he replied, ' Yes, my friends, rely upon me !' and the workmen then said, ' You know that we have I muskets, only take care that we have balls, and that will suffice." 7tIESsiRS. BLANQUI AND LEDRII-ROLLIN. — The Monde Republieatn pines the tollowies ,—" Yesterday morn ing M. Blanqui went to M. Ledru-ltollin, and raid to him, ' Give me a categorical &rower—are you for or agninst us ? Say yes or no.' 111.

It is !no l' M. Ledru-Rollin, on Icing questioned upon this by Al. 1 Lamartine, was blamed by him, and told, ' Your were want ing in your duty—you ought to have arrested him.'

Brown, Omen. and Leialmna LATEST FROM PAR: POLITICAL AND POPULAR DEMONSTRATION IN PARIS, PARIS, THCRSDAY, 6 An extensive amphitheatre, with retreshment morns and other conveniences, being erected under and in front of the Arc de Triomphe, at the top of the Champs F.lyekes, the members of the government, deputations of the chief bodies of the state, and su perior officers of the army, arrived there at half•past nine this morning, and the ceremonies of the day commenced. The colonels and ensigns of the various regiments of the line were collected in front, waiting to receive the " drapeaux" of the republic. Meanwhile the entire body of national guards of Paris and its environs, as well as the troops of the line which had been marched into Paris, took up positions along the entire line of the Champs Elystes and the boulevards, as well as along the quays, at which spaces were completely filled with them. The standards were delivered to the colonels by k Arago, as Minister of War, accompanied by a imitable address, after which the colonels, accompanied by their ensigns and other attendants, filed off to join their respective regiments. The troops then commenced marching in front of the arch, saluting the Provisional Government as they posed, and the entire body, extending over so many miles continued this procession, which commenced at half-past ten, and is still moving as I conclude this letter. The immense numbers may be conceived from the fact that they have now been moving in front of my window, with only occasional halts, for uearly seven hours, 20 abreast ; and when I look up the Boulevards now, I can see no end to the forest of bayonets. H a ppily the day has passed over in perfect trim qaillity ; many and enthusiastic have been the recip meal greetings between the national guards and the line; incessant have been the choruses of the " Mar malaise " and other patriotic hymns, sung by thousands of voices, in which the troops of the line were to the full as energetic as the civic soldiers. Were Ito attempt to express the number of armed men which joined in this prodigious manifestation, I maid only give a very rough approximation indeed, bat 1 tbink it may safely be said that a quarter of a million is a fair minor limit for it. If this demonstra tion be taken, as it seems intended to be understood, as an indication of the conservative spirit of Paris to wards the majority of the Provisional Government, it is impossible to imagine anything more striking. If itbe designed as a warning to the Communists and the Terrorists, they most be dull indeed if they are insensible to it. Nothing like it has probably been witnessed in say capital of Europe for a century. There is no intelligence of course, foreign or do mestic, to communicate, for the post-office has been closed since noon, and all public and private business of every description is suspended. Since the above was written, I learn that the num ber of national guards, including the Mobile and trliaine Guards, and exclusive of the regular troops, which hare token part in this demonstration, amount to 310,000: the number of regular troops do not, I believe, exceed 3,000 or 0,000 men. National guards have come to Paris from the various places accessible by railway, at considerable distances, such as Rouen and Blois, with the purpose of signi fying their adhesion to the government. I now clone my dispatches at six o'clock, and these interminable legions, which for eight hours have' been moving under my window, are still passing, and extend further than the eye can reach. I am assured that two hours more will elapse before this prodigions military promenade will close. We find the following in the Assent/rigs Nutionak : Oar readers will find it difficult to believe that a '• Comite de Sa'ut Public " can possibly exist at Paris, and yet we can entity the the. following facts are of the most rigorous ex attitude. The journal La commune de Paris is installed at 35 . 16 , Rue de Rivoli, in a vast edifice which belonged to Me don list of the Duchess d'Orleans. On Sunday, `lke* disquietude reigned in Paris, and whilst the national cuard paraded the city in evi ry some men of suspicious appearance ad- I creek I.o^iting obeervattoes to the groups, u,d creased " 601, to plunge into a quarrel. A respectable man, who andf s,,se efmciFsfing observations, was suddenly i 'm 4ll 7 seized by some strange-looking men in blue blouses, with a large floating sae, of red cloth, and a cravat of the tune colour, and dragged to No. 16, Rue di Rivoli. A curi os spectator followed the cortege. Ile witnessed all that 'ft we about to relate, and his character and position, sub the consideration he enjoys, do not permit u to doubt his word. On arriving, he saw in the interior of the hotel a garrison, with the some sapid, the same coaume. Armed men, musket in hand, w ere p l ace d as se ntinels at the gate of the hotel, is the courtyards, on the staircases, at the entry of the apart rents. After passing an entresol, guarded by sen tinels, our informant, following the old man and his cortege, pissed throush a xestibule, and through some small saloons crowded by wined men, and arrived in an immense saloon splendidly furnished. Re there saw a person of middle height, of about f "t , lean of age, with a beard, of a brief and haughty manner of apeskiag, of a sombre and bilious physiognomy, * ll O. unexpectedly surprised in the midst of orders which he vat giving to those around him, violently questioned ~!..thief at th e h ea d of the cortege. This man replied, Sobrier, I bring before you a suspect. I be hind.,it right to cause him to be arreste d b y y our ji synardr, b ecau s e he appeared to me to be a relic t 'rY Propagandist." " Give explanations , this in rea said Citizen Sobrier, in a theatrical tone. A i; who, lik e our cu rious informant, had followed t. " 6 1% cortege. sapped forward and explain ed the facts. Be brief;' cried Citizen Sobrier, energetically. The agitated by the strange spectacle whi ch sur eued t ru, hesitated and stammered. " We ll, be g in I " he t judge, passionately. A public accuser endeavoured f:Pin the motive of the arrest. The witne ss made a simple 0 4, at i one i n f avour o f the accused.

The delegates met again yesterday morning, shortly after nine o'clock. Mr. M'Grath in the ckair. A letter was read from Mr. Ernest Jones, one of the mie 'binaries, stating that in Glasgow, Aberdeen, and other places in Scotland, the people were forming themselves into a national guard, and that they were determined to have the charter. Mr. CHILDS suggested that one more appeal should be made to the House of Commons in the shape of petitione, signed by the ehairesen of all the Chartist meetings, which would be held throughout the length and breadth of the land next week, and that such petitions should be intrusted to the county members for presentation. (Hear.) Mr. Clean est—lt is no use petitioning. Our national petition has been rejected and treated with contumely and degradation. The CHAIRMAN said that immediately after Easter Mr. O'Cnnor would brin forward a motion in the House of Commons o for leave t o bring in a bill to enlarge and amend the representation of the people. Mr. MIRPIELD and Mr. Witeetso could not consent te again petition the House of Commons. Mr. Comm did not wish for blood to he shed, but if the charter was rejected he felt certain that anarchy, civil war, I and the shedding of blood must ensue. All peaceable mess., however, in the first instance, ought to be tried, for he hoped that the enemies of the people would never have cause to say I that they were precipitate or acted with undue haste. A long discussion ensued, during which Mr. Graham, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. Walter, and other delegates ur g ed the imports ice of the Chartists doing everything in their power to strengthen Mr. O'Connor's hands by ell constitutional 1 1 means before taking any ulterior measures. Mr. DerilllTON would never sign another national petition. If her Majesty refused to agree to the memorial which would be presented to her, the neat step would be for the conven tion to remonstrate, not petition. (Hear.) Mr. Cuatstixo said the people were now patient, but the time might soon come when they could endure their griev ances no longer. (Cheers from the gallery.) The Costitstme said, he agreed with Mr. Childs, that the people ought to put up isuietly with certain moral evils be ore they would he justified in taking ulterior measures. He wished public meetinge to be held in every town in the kingdom, demanding the People's Charter. Let every locality agree to petition, and insist upon the county and borough members presenting them to the House of Commons. Ile would m onake every one of the 643 mem- ! bets of the house present eor more petitions, and then their prayer would be attended to. Mr. Muiteue mid his constituents informed him that the ' seat petition they signed should be with "steel pens."' (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Mr. WHEELER considered it would be no use to petition again. The motion for presenting petitions from all parts of the 'kingdom wiei then carried by a majority of 9 to b. , Mr. Watten brought up the draught of a long address to the middle deem., • which stated diet they were lid away by corrupt and venal press, and that it would be their true interest to make common cause with the working classes. Mr. SHERRIN moved, and Mr. Denistan seconded, that the address be adopted and printed, and copies sent to the secretaries of ell the chartist societies in the United Kingdom. It was unanimously agreed that the address, after under going a few verbal areendmei.te, be printed and distributed throughout the country r . rsati 1 1 After some desltoy conveon the conventio ionrned at twelve o ' c lo ck until nine o'clock on Monda y s ad- POWE AND DUTIES OF PERSONS IN REGARD TO RIOTOUS MEETINGS. The following extracts from a charge of Lord Chief Justice Tindal to the grand jury, on the occasion of trial, at Whited under a special commission in 1632, containing valuable information relative to the provisions of the law, and the duty of the subject, in regard to unlawlul and riotous as semblies, deserve to be more generally known. The Lord Chief Justice, on that occasion, after stating that It was anneceneary to wonder whether the acts of outrage and rapine (which were the offences! to be tried) were caused by the riotous proceedings which osteurral ut an earlier period of the same day, or whether wicked and designing pensions, taking advantage of the state of excitement in which the people already were, availed themselves of it to effect their own pr '- poem of destruction and plunder, observed to the grand jury : ss it relight be safely concluded, that If the excitement which led to the doiance of the law it the earlier part of the day had never seated, the weightier crime., euteeqacntly committed by the I populace, would not have takes place; and t imes that It ls pre : chicly for We reason, that th e law of England Imo ea ell held in the greatest abherrence riotous and tumultnary area blares of the people. Nu man," said the Lord Chief Justice, "can foresee at the commencement what course they will tahe, or what comeneences will come. Though cases may occur in which the object of each assemblies in at first defin and mforodm e rate, they rapidly enlarge their powers of mlohie ed f ; and the natural effect of the excitement and ferment inseparable from the collection of multitudes in one man., the original design is quickly last sight of, and men hurry on to the commission ,of crimes, which, at their first meeting, they bud never contemplated. 'fhe beginning of tumult Wilts the letting out of water ; if not stopped at knit., it becomes difficult to do so afterwards ; it risen and increases, until It overwhelms the fairest and the most valuable works of man." "It baa been well told," observed the Lord Chief Justice, " that the ins of the law cauelsts, grit, in preserving men's pennon from death ma violence; next, in securing to them the free enjoyment of their pee- , perry. And although every single act of violence, and each individeal 6rs ' eich of the law, tends to counteract and destroy this Its primary as and object, yet do general rising" and tumultuary meetings of the people in a more especial and particular mariner produce tilled/IM, —not only removing all security both from the pennon and the pew I perry of men, but for the time otatang down the law itself, and dart( to usurp its place. The law of England has amordirgly, in propor tion to the danger which it attaches to riotous and disorderly meat logs of the peep:, made ample provision for preventingsuch idioms*, • and for the prompt and effectual suppression of them whenever they vies." Pineal ass DUTY Or Tile STIJICT.-1 11 the Bret place, by the asm-1 mon law, every private person may lawfully endeavour, of his on authority, and without any warrant or sanction of the magistrate, to suppress a riot by every means is his power. lie may disperse, or meat in dispersing, those who are aseembleil ; he may stay those who are engaged in it from executing their purpose ; he may stop and prevent others whom he shall err coming up, from joining the rent; ' and not only has he the authority, but it ti n eis ',amide's duty, its a good subject to the King, to perform the+ to almost of his ability. I If the occasionderaands immediete action,and no opportunity le given • for procuring the advice or sanction of a magistrate, it Is the duty of every subject to act fur himself, and upon his own responsibility, in suppreeing a riotous and tumultuous assembly; and he may be ' assured, that whatever is honestly done by him in the executiou of that object will be supported and justified by the common law." In stating the obligation imported by the law on every subject of the realm, the Lord Chief Juana, observed, "The law acknowledges no distinction in thin respect between the soldier and the private iodi vidu.al. The soldier in still a citizen, lyieg and, the mute obliga tion, and invested with the same authority to preserve the peace of the King as any other subject. if the one is hound to attend the call of the civil magistrate, so also is the other; If the one may in terfere for that purpose, when the occasion demands It, witheut the requisition of the magistrate, to may the other also;—if the one may employ arms for that porpow, when arms are necemacry, the soldier may do the same. Undoubtedly, the name exercise of discretion which requires the private subject dination to and In aid of the magistrate, rather than upon kin own authority, before recourse is boil to area, ought to operate in a still stronger degree with o military force. But *acre the danger is pressing sod immediate, where a felony has actually been committed, or cannot otherwise he prevented, and front the cir cumstances of the case nu opportunity I. offered of obtaining a [aqui ,ition from the proper authorities, the mature nubjecte of the King, like We civil suejects, not only may but are boiled to do their utmost, of their own authority, to prevent the perpetration of outrage, to put down riot and tumult, and to preserve the lives and property o' the people." Derr or Crvit. 011'ICZ111,—"rill further, by the common law, not only in each private subject bound to exert himself to the unmet, but every t h e mel, constable, and other peace otheer is cancel upon to do all that in h lien for the suppreneion of riot, and each has authority to command all other subjects of the King to at them in that under taking." •• By an early statute, which lA still in force, any two justices, together with the nherof or u nder- s heriff of the countyri , soters, hall come with the power of the county, d need he, to arrest any and shall arrest them." WIT on Prawns To Ale; Mnot.ra•rce.—" It in not lefCal the choice or will tit the subject, as some have erroneously supposed, to attend or not to the call of the magistrate, as they think proper hut every man ahound when called upon, under pain of tine and prisonment, to yield a ready and implicit Oath:ace to the call of the magistrate, and to do his utmost in assisting him to suppress any tumultuous assembly. alagietratee have lull power to ot mend anaintanCre by way of precaution ; the act of he and 2nd Will. IV., cap. 41, having i nvested the magistrate with that power in direct and entitles terras, when tumult, riot, or felomy, is only likely to take place, or may reasonably be apprehended. Again, that this cull of the magistrate in coommeury, and nit left to the choice of the party to obey or not, appears from the express euictruent in the I ad-mentioned act, that it he disobeys, unleas legally exempla', he is liable to the penalties and punehments I therein specified." aer.—The most Important provision of the law for the sup- Kulo pre. 5, of riots. Li to be found in the statute let Geo. 2, a.m. 5, by which it in enacted, " That if soy persons to the number I of twelve or more, being unlawfully, riotouely, and tumultuously assembled together to the disturbance of the public pence, and being required or comman d. ' by any one or more juallee or I justices, or by the sheriff of the county, or his under-aberiff, or by the mayor, bailiff, or bailiffs, or other head °dicer or juettee of the peace, of any city or town corporate, by proclamation to be made in the King's name, and in the form stated in the act, to dispense them pelves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations or to their lawful business, shall to the number of twelve or more, ilaWithstanding such proclamation, unlawfully, riotounly, and tumultuously remain or continue together by the space of one hour after such command or request mule by Prof amanita, then such continuing together shall by adfudged felony." " such are the different provisions of tne law of England,' ea id the Lord Chief Justice, "for the putting down of tumultuary meetings; and It is not too much to atfirtn. that if the means pros - Idol by the law are promptly anti judiaally enforced by the magistrate, and honestly seconded by the co-operation at his fellow-subjects, very few and ris e would be the instances in which tumultuous assemblages of the people would be able to hold defiance to the the ! Lord Chief Justice is aws." The fullowing twatige in the judgment or deserving of general attention " Let me impress on the attention of all those who, from idleness, curiosity, or mere thoughdeeenees, suffer themselves to form part of a riotous and disorderly meeting, OW they subject themselves, unconsciously, to the danger of punish ment for crime which they never contemplated; for where many arc collected welter in the prosecution of an illegal object. it is often imp...

Britons!—Poland, the wronged and the oppressed, armed with her imperishable rights, stands again before the tribunal of nations, appealing fee justice. Of the three despoilers of her extensive provinces, two, yielding to its supreme verdict and the united voice of the German people, have recently restored her a large %hereof her national rights ; nay, from being bitter enemies, they have adopts(' a milder and mere humane system of government, and profess to be henceforth friends of Poland. But the third, and the most implacable of all her oppression, Russia, holds her usurped share fast in her iron grasp. How long Poland may yet remain within that unrelenting grasp, it is not easy to predict ; but believing, as we do, in the immutable decrees of Eternal Justice, to which rulers and nations are alike subject, the day of retribution for wrongs done most unavoidably arrive. The firmer the un natural grasp of Russian despotism is held, the sooner it runs the risk of being loosened from its unfortunate sictim ; and, judging from the nature of the Russian polies in Poland, from the barbarous threats, fierce acts of violence, and the daily increasing reign of terror now prevalent throughout that eountry, and all this with the sole view of forcibly re e taining the inhabitants in slavish subjection, the hour of dire reckoning appears to ho. fast approaching, even to be nigh at hand. Free-born Britons! brought up and nurtured in the lap of liberty and independence, and enn obled by them, you will easily conceive with what impatience an exiled patriot must await, and how ardently he must pant for, that auspicious day when the 'sing and weary period of his exile shall ter minate, and his duties of buoyant active life in the service of his native land shall commence,—duties, domestic and public, for which you are known to be yourselves pre-emi nently distinguished. It is to your high sense of these patriotic and sacred duties, which you so well know how to cultivate among yourselves, nod which you are hest qualified to appreciate iu others, that Poland's expatriated sons venture now to appeal. The mo tive for their doing so they feel cenfideot will meet with your approval. It is as follows : A considerable portion of Poland, under the governments of Prussia and Austria, having of late had a notional organ isation granted it, the refugees resident in England are desirous to return to those Polish provinces, but they want means to enable them to quit this country. To those who are single the difficulties may not be so great ; but some of the refugees are married men, with wives and helpless children. The latter require particular solicitude. The total number of the refugees in this country, not in eluding their wives and children, is about 400, all of whom are ready to leave England if furnished with necev ary means. Trey are more than ever averse to continue Isinger a burden to this country. Ity granting this last request von will immenuhibly enhance the debt of gratitude whien they already owe to the British nation for the hospitality and pro tection it has accorded them. This being the only motive the Polish refugees have in thus appealing to the benevolent feelings of the public for subscriptions, they flatter themselves with the hope that, in order to attain that end, the friend/I°f Poland will endeavour, by their generous exertions, to revive former Polish com mittees throughout the kingdom, as during the years 1832 a nd 1833. Their united co - op eration cannot fail to be crowned with success. At the request and on behalf of the Polish exiles resident in Great Britain.--Colonel LACK SZYHMA, Captain BAISTOCHOWStiI, THOMAS BUTHIEWICZ. 10, Duke-street, St. James's, April 18, 1848. DitAINaOS Or TowNes—Sir,—ln considering the difficulties which beset the question of the drainage of towns, it ha- to be remarked that cesspools were universally adopted till the end of the last century ; and, secondly, that the change of arraneements which was gradually introduced had such an injurious effect on the Thames and on sewer mouths as to produce the moat serious alarm about twenty years ago. Medical men and commissioners, appointed to institute inquiry, have proved that this new arrangement of draining offensive matter into our rivers through house-drains and sewers, is acting most prejudicialiy on public health ; and the whole of the evidence embodied in the first Rep , rtof the Sanitary Commission shows that cholera was connected with sewer mouths and with rivers receiving the contents of sewers ; and the late secretary to the Health of Towns As. sociation (now consulting engineer to the Metropolitan Sewers Commissioe) gives the most conclusive answer to the coro,ohdo• against the former commissioner for net enforcing house drainage. The cesspool is outside the house ; but, iu " case of the drain or sewer, the poison newly generated is driven directly into the house in periodic succession. The remedy would certainly be worse than the disease. It is much to be desired that compulaory pleas should be suspended until the remedy for the evil has been applied." (Min. of Evidence, p. 117.) When Lord Morpeth brought forward the Health of Towns Bill, in the reply to the objec tions which were made to hie exclusion of the metropolis, his lordship stated that, from what he knew to be going on, he believed that the metropolis would yet be a " perfect model in drainage," to be followed by other towns. The new Metropolitan Sewers Commissioners propose to rest their proceedings on well-paid officials, and it is consequently very important to inquire what is laid before them by those on whose recommendation they are acting. Lord Morpeth informed the presentment jury that two reports had been made to the new commission, both of which contemplate the liquid distribution of the sewer water from Westminster, and the whole of the drainage arrangements are to be eltered to effect this object. The plan which was first proposed for Surrey is sow brought forward for Westminster. It con. templates pumping up the refuse one hundred feet high, out of wells into which it is to flow, through new sewers to be constructed in every street. it contemplates the most perfect control over the house-drainage, so that "no drain of any description should communicate with the system sinless con- i strutted to the entire satisfaction of the surveyor ;" and the drain-pipes themselves would be required to be so perfect that the commissioners are urged to establish trial works far the manufacture of pipes. The following questions are in surveyed at the expense of the ratepayers Will anew house arrangement and such a perfect control over house-drains he obtained as will keep out all stray oyster-shells, cinders, and cabbage stalks? Will a new 'ewer be made in every street, and of so small a dimension that, when requiring repair, the street must be completely broken up to discover where the defect is? Will fifts en or more wells for pumping up the refuse oe hundred feet high, and will satrating the land with the r efuse twenty miles round the met u ropolis, be t Ae rated ? And, lastly, as the whole rests upon the liquid dis tribution over the land, will this pay fur the expenses which it would incur.' The proper drainage of the metropolis would probably give 200,000,000 of tons annually, and to force this quantity to an gg distance of twelve miles would, according to Mr. Hawksly'e evidence, cost 5,000.0001. a year. The whole empire is interested in these questions, as the metropolis is to give " a model i n orainage" to other towns. Toe retention in cesspools which necessarily pre vailed till water-closets were introduced, is bad nut drain ing offensive refuse into sewers having a bad outlet, and through them into water surrounding towns, is worse, in a sanitary point of view, and is combined with the leas of the fertilising substances which Providence has designed for the land. Here is Scylla, there Charybdis; a hurricane is threatening, and the Metropolitan Sewers Commission have taken the helm to guide through impending daggers, and hence the importance of the reports of those authorities to which they look for directions.—J. J. MOHENWOOD, April 15. BIRKENHEAD Docks.—The government having sent down Mr. Robert Stephenson, the eminent civil en gineer, to examine the doeks and works, his report (says the Liverpool. ail) is to the effect that the works are the best he has seen ; that more work has been done in the time which has elapsed since their commencement than he had ever before known ; and that they have been constructed for lee money than any works of a similar description. He has also given in an estimate for their completion without hav ing had any previous knowledge of that of Mr. Bendel, and is within 3,000/. of the calculations of the latter gentleman, stating, at the some time, that his own estimates are for the extreme cost. Lord Morpeth has also obtained from Mr. J. Stewart his valustion of the crown reserve, on the north or ; Seacsiruhe side of the docks,, and, th,iigh the contents of his repot , have no: yet transpired, so much has oozed out as to show that the land is more than suflicielit to secure the money necessary to liuish the works. Mr. Stephenson re ports that Mr.ltendel's plans are perfect and comprehensive. The corporation of Liverpool have given formal notice to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests of their intention to take such steps as they may be advised, in order to claim the foreshore in Birkenhead against the crown, as to such portions of the purchases of the corporation there front Mr. Price and his assigns. in which all the rights of Mr. Price are conveyed to them - also that they will claim the fore shore and creeks on the north side of Wallasey Pool, under a different title. COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. I:ONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o' Clock.—The public offices are of course all closed in the City to-day. The Hamburg mail brings advices to the 19th instant. Commercially and financially they continue unfavourable. More failures had taken place, but none of them houses of much consideration. In reference to the Schleswig-Holstein affair, it appears that hostilities were suspended, the Prussian commander having given notice, however, that if the Danes did not quit Schleswig on or at the close of the 18th inst., the Prussian troops would advance and i compel them by arms.

OVERLAND INDIA MAIL, The Overland Mail has arrived, with dates from Bombay to the 15th, and Calcutta to the 7th March. The following is from the summary of the Bombay Times of 7th March : The Governor returned from Senile on the 3rd inst. Lord Falkland is expected to arrive about the 28th of April. Sir T. Turtoa has resigned the office of ecclesiastical registrar to the Supreme Court, of Calcutta, the emolu ments of which have hitherto been betwixt 6,0001. and 18,000 1 . I - year. The ecclesiastical registrar and his assistant, not content with their emoluments, have embarked in trade with the money entrusted to their care, and lost very severely by the Union Bank. fhe defalcations are said to exceed 150.000/. When ci meted by the Chief Justice to produce their books, and exhibit the government paper in which the money was said to be invested, paper was borrowed from a native mer chant and exhibited as that belonging to the registrar. It was immediately lodged by Sir Lawrence Peel in the treasury, when the fact just stated became known by the party from whom it was borrowed making application for his own. The sytern of borrowing paper from the Union Bank, for the purpose of deceit, seems to have been a regular branch of business. Mr. Sandes, a barrister, has accepted the appointment resigned by Sir T. Turton, on a salary of '2,500/, pet annum. Profound tran quillity remains throughout the Punjaub. Sir Frederick Currie das expected at Lahore about the 7ils of March, when Juce . John Lawren would take his departure for the ll un dhur Doab . We this season will receive 320,0001. land revenue, and 60,0001. of :customs, from our n ew territory, or 380,000 in all, though our exactions are less by a third than were those of our pre decessors. The revenue survey of the Punjaub was advanc ing rapidly that of the lanes on the river's banks, yield ing about 'half a million a year, had been completed; and the whole would, it was hoped, be S , fished by May or June. The turbulence in the hill-frontier provinces was in a great measure sabilued. Lettv. from the Niz no's dominions irfi.rm us that nit highness had declined sexing General Proses when ab iut to leave the capital, and the Resident expressed no wish for the observance of the customary civilities. The letter or kureeta of Lord Dalhousie was simply sent to his highness by messenger: its contents were unknowa —in all likelihood a fi w empty compliments. National affairs continued pretty much in the usual state. Com plsints are loud and general of the ildtreatment received by British merchants at Asa at the hands of the king. Sir 11. Blackwood quitted Moulmein on the 21st ult., to rejoin the Fox at Amherst. He is said to have spoken favourably of that port as a site for a dockyard. Tranquillity generilly prevails throughout India. Trade continues dun, though somewhat less so than for rly, and the scarcity of money very great indeed. COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, April 29.-So short an interval having elapsed between our first and second markets this week, the present being held a day out of course on account of to morrow being Good Friday, we have few remarks to oiler, either on the extent of arrivals or the state of business ' in the intermediate period. Supported by the steady t one of other leading mar kets of the country, the general rates of our last , upon a mo d e rate amount of transactions, appear to have been firmly maintained. Influenced by a very slender attendance of buyers, and entire absence of extensive operations in any article at our Corn Exchange this morning, we have to re port a very dull, listless trade in all its bearings ; gene rally speaking, however, there was no disposition, in any instance, on the part of holders to submit to lower terms, but, in anticipation of a revived demand next week, a firm adherence throughout to the full rates of Tuesday, which may in all respects be re pealed to-day. The transactions in Wheat and Four were merely restricted to retail parcels; the latter, notwithstand ing, inclined slightly upwards, owing to the remaining stock of both Irish and American being light, and the latter of prime quality becoming literally scarce. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas appeared to remain wholly untried ; and in either Oats or Oatmeal, no actual change was perceptible. Indian Corn and Corn 1.1 , al being still ti.e most attractive articles of the trade, a few further parcels were purchased again to-day, the extreme rates of Tuesday freely paid, and in some instances rather higher prices required.

There are a few more Sheep on o ff er, and not so many wanted, consequently trade is slow at a decline of fully 2d. per 8 lbs. this, being Good Friday, may be termed the commencement of the Lamb sea son ; it is the only article particularly in demand to-day. We have seen a much larger number on former occasions; the supply, however, is tolerably good, and trade active.
