WENTMLNSTER COURT OF SHWHES.--ILLEORL COH DECT Or A COMEISSIONITL—A general court of the COOS misnomers of Sewers foe Westminster was held yesterday at the eourt-house, Greek.street, Soho, Capt. G. Bogue, R.N., in the chair. After • great deal of routine and claim. portent business the court reverted to the ease of Mr. Ferlar, one of the eommissioaers, who, it was stated, at a former mart reported in our paper of Sept. 18, had sent certain notices to persons residing in Chelsea without the sanction of the own. Yesterday nearly the whole of the_ turtles to whom theme notices bad been sent attended. Mr. Feeler was prevented from attending. It appeared that nearly thirty householders residing in Robert-terrace and Alex ander-place, Chels ea, were served with notices by the clerk, sad on behalf of Mr. Farlar, requiring them within twenty eight days to make drains from their several houses into the sewer,. which sewer was alleged to be the pro,ierty of Mr. Feeler, who, " under a new act,' claimed from the owners of the property, various SUMS ranging from 151. to 501. and novena, according to the frontage occupied by the house, and the length of time such sum was alleged to have been due, the time varying from twelve to fifteen years, and the interest of the money for that time being added to the sums claimed for the sewer. The court haring received fees several parties the notices thus served, and the solicitor having given it as his opinion that the proceedings of Mr. ragas e were the most irregular that had ever come under his ranke," however liable the parties might be, a resolution was paned requesting the chairman to inform the parties sport whom such not ice s had been served, that the proceed ing ern entirely illegal and undeserving of any attention • and; it was finally resolved, " That Farrar not thee; being present, the matte? should be referred to the solicitor, to report thereon at the next court, and that Mr. Feriae should be summoned to attend at rich court." After other unimportant business the court adjourned_ PARISH OF ST. MARTLEBONIX—CLASSIFICATION OT FEMALES IN TOE Woakuouse.—Yesterday • meeting of the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone took place in the board-room of the workhouse, New-road, for the purpose of receiving the report of a committee in re bream to the classification of female paupers, and the over needed state of the workhouse, &c., Mr. W. Lowe in the their. Mr. Meaner, the relieving overseer, brought up a re port which showed • great increase of pauperism. The num bee of inaloor poor during the week was 2,099, being an in crease of 30 over the previous week. The number of out door 'poor was 6,730, befog an increase over the previous week of 736. The total of persons receiving relief was 8829. --Mr. Thorpe (the secretary), in answer to a question, said that these numbers showed an increase of 500 in-door, and 2,700 out-door, poor, as compared with the corresponding week of lest year. Mr. Thorne then brought up the re ports from the committee appointed to consider the present arrangements respecting the separation ward, with a view to some improvement in the system of female classification. The reports suited that the committee had satisfied them 'elves of the utter inefficiency of the existing arrangements for the purposes of classification, especially amongst females, and had directed their attention to a report of • committee appointed in February lost (not adopted), recommending the erectioa of a distinct ward and wash-house for girls returning (rem service, in a portion of the enclosed space in the women's yard. As a preliminary step towards elansifica lion, they recommended the adoption of that report, se that the works might be proceeded with without delay. The committee also submitted that if the small rooms intended for the separation of refractory females were juoicionly used in separating one or two of the most violent girls from the others, preventing communication, if only for the space of 12 hours at a time, it might be found effectual in checking such gross insubordination as there has existed of late, and in many cases defeat the very object the girls have in view, that of being sent to prison, to which they give the preference over the workhouse. The pro posed ward and wash-hone could be erected for 1831., and could be ready in two months, provided the board agreed to the proposition. The adoption of the report having been moved and seconded, Mr. Potter observed that it had long been a matter of complaint that young girls sent out to service bad on their return been indiscriminately mixed with the elder females, by whom their minds were contami nated, and who were thus prevented becoming useful and respectable members of society. It was a duty the board owed, not only to the ratepayers but to the poor children themselves, to glee that they were brought up in those habits of industry and virtue by which they could obtain employ ment, and become useful members of society.—After some few further remarks the motion was carried nem. con., and some other unimportant business having been disposed of the board separated. THE COMMANDER OF THE FLYING FISH AND THE PORTI:011 SSE PRISONERS. —ln consequence of the Un authorised conduct of Commander Rut Dyke, commander of the Flying Fish, 12, on the coast of Africa, towards Count Romfim and the unfortunate Portuguese prisoners, tran sported to Angola, the Admiralty have superseded him, end ordered the Flying Fish to be sent to England to be paid off, under the command of any officer the commodore may select .—G lobe. EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS.—PROBABLE LOSS OP TREES Ltv es.—Last evening, about 6 o'clock, an expkeion of combustible materials, used in the manufacture of fire works, took place on the premises belonging to Mr. G. Manly, pyrotechnist, carrying on business at No. 64, Little Surrey-street, Blackfriars-road, and which has been attended with serious, if not fatal,:injuries to three persons. From inquiries Ma de,: it appears that Mr. Mindy was engaged ailing some cases with competition in the back room on the pond-floor, when, from some unexplained cause, the ma teriel exploded, setting fire to a number of other descriptions if fireworks, which went off with a loud none, demolishing memo passe of glare in the window, and firing the contents etas mum. In an instant the whole of the parties in the Mein, sineleting et a sera (believed to be Mr. Mardy), a Imp. end •penng dad, were encircled with fire, and, owing le Ile sallseating adage et the tfIIUTUt emitted from the it was with gnat difficulty that any of the breaths. The sin occasioned by the explo its brought several MOM to their assistance. Engines soon arrived, but the ismitie and neighbours had succeeded in getting the fire ettiagmhbed in the interim, but not until considerable damage bad been done to the premise* by fire and the force of the explosion. The three persons before spoken of are lying at the hospital in a very precarious state. Neither the promisee nor their contents were insured. THE IRISH POOR IN LIVERPOOL. Theisßowing is the report of Alfred Austin, Esq., • be Wield the Irish poor is Liverpool : "Tomb the end of January (1847), there were mesons ebb biased the belief that amongst the epplications for sammteas eases el e Sitisa. An emarate e 1 aAI• of the masons of the el poem holed !seen a s of the mho reseleed re /14 elemrostratal list a esesiderable poetise of the hem bee net newly-erelvellimesigrants. At the same time, be easseame of immfav dilly landing rendered It that • larger number of persons, more or lees in a = 11 4 . 1 . destitution, arrived in Liverpool from Ireland, thee the Isiah actually relieved amounted to. Apprehensions, began to be entertained on the part of Faison' eaOeeMd with the administration of the poor-law in Liverpool. that although relief was distributed so liberally m to give the to considerable imposition, still there might beam of elee titrition and want which failed to receive proper atimilen or insistance. " Them consideretkau led the weeny to adopt a ben go in 1 the system of administering casual relief. From some time before Christmaa till the let February applionlies for relief were made by the destitutelrish immigrate, or by persons pretend to be so,, at the diem of the vestry, in sioelmsel, whirs, for onsral hours every day, applitedem wore bawd sad renal siren in bread and in tickets for seep by the rat relleviag officers of the parish, ant a few meedesel senieteselik rer some weeks the crowd of appymte was too lop for much discrimination to be amendbi by the relieving oilcan in Vat relief; and, hem be early part of Joarry, their objeet wee to ilsedee the applicantas rapidly as with en emera of maid Ingertioned to their de assin, what them be their wag wests, in order that the wad =tol need the effete might b e a s a =aL sal ot Issmory, thevesry a emo• mitts. to saperintead the samba; of the I On the 2nd February, is were enoteVrA committee, by which the of the town easasialleg the lodging-houses aid miles arapial by_ the lei weedivided into thirteen rads% t he size 81 =: 2 $ regulated by the supposed sesimbee el Irish poor tesiling in each. In every distriet ea lASI or relief station wee opened for the relief of the theilale Irish of such diarist Two assistant relieving tears were attached to seek of eleven of these relief stations and one to each of the remaining two. The di ff er ence in the number of cams, in the cue of these two districts, was owing to local eircurnstanees, which it is not necessary to partieulirin. There were consequently twenty-four instant relieving officers appointed for the parts of the town inhabited by immigrants. Over this large body of officers were placed two inspectors, one for the districts of the northern put, end the other for thme of the southern part, of the town, whose duty it was to convey information be tween the central office and the relief stations, if the urgency of the ease required it, and also to report to the central office, where the committee sat daily, any irregularities or incompe tency on the pert of any of the assistant relieving officer,. Each district to which two officals were attached, was divided into two subdivisions, and each subdivision was Placed under the euperintendence and care of one of the dß ears In each of the districts with only one officer, the duty of the latter was to attend to the entire district.

" The lartaustioas given to the assistant relieving °Seen were, hg, r require every applicant to appear every morn ing, at the station 'to the district in which he re sided, to ark* bit for relief ; 2nd, to visit after wards own Ns plane of abode, and to observe mad albs Bib littarnota; led, to give relief according to the mesemities of the eppelient. This relief was to be given is amid% eons at Ow abode of the applicant, but more ge -1 nerelly it wee to be given at the station, in a subsequent part of the day, upon the applicant attending for it. Con. stun mommaaicatios on the partof the relieving officers with the applissaas, together with unremitting visits to the =Coma when they resided, was dered desirable the eagles to obtain and prese rveas much know ledge as peals of the applicants, and of the parts of the town they noward to for lodging. The first object of this was, that, in Ow vast crowd of immigrants, the chances should be diminitheii as much as pueblo of any person suf. 1 firing from lust remaining unheard of by the tenoning °Seen ; and, :iwasadly, that attempts at imposture might receive every peesible check. Special instructions were also given to the amiatant relieving ors (and it was one of the matters which I personally attended to myself) to visit every ease of sickness which they should hear of amongst the poor in their districts, without waiting for an application for as sistance or relief, and to report it immediately to the central office, in order that the proper medical assistance might be promptly supplied. The propriety of them arrangements, and others of minor detail, has been illustrated by their operation. " 1. From the Ist of February there have been only two deaths in the perish of Liverpool, that I am aware of, to be attributed directly to want of actual necessaries of life. Mr. Curry the coroner of the borough, who has kindly given me information upon the subject, tells me that in the first case, that of Elizabeth Banashe, on 16th February, the cause of death wu • disease of the bowels from want of food ;' and in the second, that of Maria Roberts, the cause was ' bron chitis and want of food.' Much as it is to be lamented that death in any instance, in the parish of Liverpool, is to be attributed in the slightest degree to want of food, I may ob serve, that in neither of the two cases mentioned does it ap pear that want of food was occasioned by neglect on the part of the vestry or any of its officers. " One object in framing the new arrangements for admi nistering relief was to prevent imposition, and another to provide sufficiently for the destitute. Up to the 2nd Feb ruary, a certain quantity of the relief distributed was given to persons who were not destitute. The amount of relief thus misapplied does not admit of being stated with accu racy, but it wss considerable. Since the 2nd February, although the number of applicants baa been reduced nearly two.thirds, the reduction in the amount of relief distributed has not been very considerable. But relief has been con fined (as far as practicable) to the neonsitons, and they there fore have been more adequately relieved than was pre viously the case. A greater quantity of relief, and more accurate attention to the claims of the destitute, became ne cessary with the new arrangements, iammuch as they were accompanied by an expression of opinion on the part of the vestry of the propriety of the inhabitants generally abstain-' big from private almsgiving to penons who were strangers to them ; they were also necessary as a precaution against the threatened spread of disease, which would occur with in creased intensity in crowded neighbourhoods, if the inhab itants were allowed to suffer from want and destitution. (To be continued.) IRELAND. Barr. 30. The guardians of the poor of the unions of Castle island, county Kerry, have made an estimate of the unemployed labourers in the union, a course which other guardians would render good service if they followed. .They state that in the whole district there are 6,540 able-bodied labourers unemployed and des titute. Of these, Lady Headley's estates contain 1,110; Lady Frank's, 5,8; Mr. Herbert's, 700; Lord Ventry's, 260; Col. Drummond's, 170; Mr. Francis Chute's, 600 ; and Sir David Roche's, 46. These pro prietors are, it is supposed, about to make ments to afford employment to those men, .1,717". save their properties from excessive rates, and at the same time improve them. The landlords ought certainly not to be the parties from whom the suggestion of non-payment should proceed ; yet the doctrine has been propounded by them. From what will be found recorded in "the state of the country," your readers will perceive how very . apt the Irish tenantry are likely to become in practising that lesson, and how very much that prac tic* will be calculated to embarrass the gentry of the country. The non-payment principle is not without its attractions for parties who owe more than they can possibly discharge ; for there are few farmers in three of the provinces of Ireland who are able to pay this year the rent and arrears, owing to the landlords, and the rates, and county taxes. Non payment being resolved upon, steps will, of course, be taken to coerce the acquiescence of those whe may be disposed to act more justly, and such landlords as endeavour to enforce their claims will be met . by resistance. Hence we shall, most probably, during the winter approaching, have many such attacks recorded as those on the houses of con siderable farmers like Mr. O'Brien, and many such oppositions to distress for rent as has been given to ' , Mr. Gamble. In Mayo, the practice of distraint and seizure is very general, and the clearances numerous. , The whole crops are seized in many instances, and the tenantry then ejected; the destitution which in variably results is aggravated by the circumstance that the new poor-law is not in operation in its more humane provisions in that county. Three weeks since, a relieving officer was appointed in Castlebar, but he has not yet administered any relief or ad mitted a single pauper. The Royal Agricultural Society had a meeting of their council to-day, to consider the letter of his ex cellency to the Duke of Leinster neting the *Sri culMral instruction of the people. They agreed to call a general meeting of the body, to co-operate with his excellency's object, in three weeks. There is not, it is said, any truth in the rumoured elevation of Chief Justice Doherty to the peerage. The other changes consequent on his rumoured eleva , time are, of course, untrue.

The northern counties have not yet done with the food riots of the winter. The commissioners or supply for Banffshire have refused to pay the expenses of the sheriff for going down to assist in quelling the dis turbanees. Like most of the other principal sheriffs, the sheriff of Banff lives in Edinburgh, and it was held by the commissioners, that, according to the act, sheriffs should reside in their counties " upon all proper and reasonable occasion," and a period of in surrection befog deemed such an occasion, hence the declinatare. e sheriff pleaded that the act referred to was passed when he had four courts to attend to, instead of eight per annum, as at present ; and bear ing all ordinary expenses, he submitted that the county should shield him from those of an extraordi nary kind. But, although an excellent councillor at the bar, his lordship, on this occasion, argued before judges, who would not allow themselves to be led away by ar g ume nts that went to unbutton their own pockets, Zral:ordi y ly their honours decided that then was " no case.'

Oats, three-fourths of an average crop, and about the sane as last year in quality. Beans and Peas, average. Potatoes, good crop, but only about one-fifth of usual quantity planted.

THE ADULTEILATED MEAL Cacti.—On Wednesday, Alex ander Bannatuu, grain -merchant, of Glasgow, was tried for the adulteration of 1,000 loads of meal furnished to the Glasgow section of the Highland Destitution Board is March last, and sent by them to Oben, Skye, and other pieces. The indictment charged him with hav i ng mixed the meal with " thirds, bran, and barley meal." The pleaded not guilty. Several obj ec ti ons t o th e made by the pruoner's counsel having . been aver- Mr. C. R. Baird, to the Highland Reli ng eriemi, was called, and deposed that Mews. Bannatyne sad Ow grain-snets, of which Arm the prisoner is the eldef, sage offers to the committee to supply a certain ki n d of esteeeal, which were accepted, for the transmimion of which Mt he Highlands by the Aurora steamer witness made arrange mats. It was required in a great hurry, and was despatched oaths 19th March. The meal was shipped to Tobermory, Oban, and Portree, to be stored for the use of the destitute Highlanders Hu so doubt it was known to the prisoner that that was the . purpose for which the meal was purehamed. Witness wished it shipped next • , and urged upon him it was necessary it should be deeps id as soon as pos sible, as the committee required to give orders epee Oben, Tobermory, and Padres in favour of different heed aeme tees. It was understood to be oatmeal in the ordissey ass} tation of the word. Mr. Brown, who had theme d the cargo, went with the vessel , to tike samples ot IM Met with which he returned. These samples were alba in the presence of Mr. Bannatyne, end admitted is he had sent. After the vessel had bola sat, Mr. Beasseinerea dered his account,which sitassesseiaises as dist ornieralle. It was from Mr. Brown's iesiasles at the asearst the vessel was starting that essepiden was mirth lie beenght in a sample which he said was Werke. It. use Ids duty to check the quantity and quality of the osteesogiontsea lewd. After his return from delivering the meal In es leelleds, we sent him back again for munples. The all sample which he brought in at the startmg of the send was ban& under consideration of the committee alsegwi th th e seth plea he brought from the Highlands. We bell asseinis, and took evidence, and afterwards handed over ear notes of evi demos with the samples to the public prosecutor. The very day we beard of the meal being adulterated, we wrote to our agent in the Highlands to store it under protest. The pert of the meal was afterwards returned to; the eel hr; a part of it had been used at Tobermory,:notwith our instructions. C. W. Watson, the assistant secretary, deposed that a part of the mid wee paid for to Mr. Bannatyne about six weeks ago, being that portion which had been used in the highlands. Th• price was paid as per contract, and, so far as witness was aware. there we no question before the committee as to paying the contrast. Of the number of loads of oatmeal shipped by the Aurora eighty-eight were paid. Mr. Banns qne called upon him the week before last for payment of the balance. Bailie J. Honeyman wax one of a committee of the High land Relief Board with reference to supplies of grain. Re collects the offer made by the prisoner Bannatyne, and exa mined the samples with reference to the prices. That selected wu a fau sound article. lie had no idea that they were to be furnished with • mixed article. Would have re jected it had they known it to be mixed. They rejected a wimple the lune day because it wu mixed—it wu a lower price. A day or two after, examined sample. taken from the Aaron, and the stores, and some were not so good, and some were better than the sample.—Cross-examined : After the date of Bannatyne's offer, witness sold him 470 loads of oatmeal at 661_, good and not mixed, so far as witness knew. He sold it in Mr. Laurie's granary, and the place of delivery wu there. He believed, though not from his own experience, that it was common to mix flour or "thirds" among the oatmeal. This is done sometimes by the miller, and is quite well known in the trade. William OR, storekeeper to Mr. Lawrie, Alston-street, Oal.gow : Remembers Mr. Honeyman having oatmeal in that store which wu sold to Mr. Bannatyne on the 19th I March. Thinks there were 600 loads thus sold. It was genuine meal that Mr. Honeyman mold. Mr. Bannatyne 'poke to him about the trade, and said he was going to put some other meal in it. He said barleyroeal. He did not say the quantity. Gardner came next morning. By the Court The barleyrneal was brought in on the 18th, mad was mixed previous to the removal of the oatmeal.—For the prosecution : 87 loads of barlerneal were mixed with 10$ of oatmeal, making 480 loads altogether. There were 480 loads sent away by the Aurora. Has been a storekeeper for thirty years. Never saw such a mixing as that before. There were several men about the premien, and as conceal ment was attempted.—By the Court Did you say anything to Mr. Bannatyne? I said it would be as well not to mix it. He took his own way. He said it was nothing to me. William Paterson, carter, was sent to Mr. Bannatyne's store, in Union-street, to mix meal. He mixed thirds and oatmeal. The oatmeal was lying en the floor. The oatmeal and thirds were mixed with I shovel. There were 10 or 11 men employed at it. They began at a quarter past seven, and they worked at it till half-past five in the morning They also used bran to mix with the meal. All the people employed about it were speaking of it. The prisoner came in about 11 o'clock, aad saw what they were doing. Never saw " thirds " used for human food, but uses it himself for his horse. Does not know particularly where the mixed stuff was going to, but believed it wee going to the High. leads. The mixing was farther proved by the several witnesses engaged in the process, but no evidence bore out the charge in the indictment that "bran" had been used. This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner's declaration was then read, in which he de aied having been guilty of any fraud whatever, or having acted la any unfair way, or in any way inconsistent with the rules of the trade. He held that by his contract he was not bound to supply more than 667 loads of pure oatmeal out of the 1,000 loads, and that he was entitled to supply the re maining 333 loads partly of barleymeal and partly of " thirds." He also stated that the 1,000 loads shipped in the Aurora were equal or superior to the samples, and that as respects other 48 loads transhipped from the Duntroon Castle to the Aurora, he had net had time, owing to the hurry in which the shipment was made, of satisfying him self as to its quality; bet that on hearing of complaints re garding the meal, he had stated this fact to Mr. Watson, and offered to supply oatmeal of better quality in its place should it be proved to be inferior, Witnesses for the defence were then called, who spoke of mixing as • constant practice, more or less, " according to price agreed on." Alexander Isles, being cross-examined by the court in re ference to this practice, said he did not think persons ought to be called on to criminate themselves. The Lord ChiefJua tice Clerk said he could have no protection there, but must answer the questions on his own responsibility. Examina tion resumed: It is the practice of the trade to mix the meal. Had never known it done to such an extent uin the period from September to May last Wilson, miller : Has known oatmeal to be mixed, es pecially last year. He should say it is known to be done in the trade. It is sometimes done in the mill, but not always —sometimes in the store. _ _ _ The Advocate-Depute addressed the jury on behalf of the mown, and was followed by Mr. Inglis for the prisoner ; after which the Lord Justice Clerk insulted up the evidence at considerable le ng th. The jury retired, and after • few minutes' absence re turned into court, and delivered the following verdict " Guilty as libelled, with the exception of mixing with bran, but recommended the prisoner to the utmost leniency of the court, in consequence of the practice having been adopted by other parties in the trade." THE NICHOLSON-STREET UNITED PRESBYTERIAN ClitincE.—Sir,—ln the Express of Monday last in the article headed " Scotland," your correspondent from Edin burgh, among other things, describes what he calls " a curi ous specimen of devotion and enjoyment," as recently di, played, " not actually in a church, but in a hall adjoining one ;" and then adds a selection from the programme which he says "wi l show how, at the Nicholson-street United Presbyterian Church Congregational wine, the sacred and profane were ;tried up." He then gives the specimen, which Ido not quote. Now, in reference to the whole of this matter, I have only to say, that I have been upwards of sixteen years minister of the Presbyterian Church in Edin burgh, known by the above name, and so far as it is con- 1 oerned I pronounce the whole statement a fabrication ; neither in the church nor in a hall adjoining it was any such scene ever exhibited ; nor was such a programme as your correspondent professes to quote from published by my congregation or by any part of them. If there be any other " Nicholson-street United Presbyterian Church" in any other town in Scotland, where such a mixture of the sacred and the profane actually took place, your correspondent ought to have named such town, I and thus fixed the odium of such profanation—for profana tion I hold it to he—upon the parties who deserve it. I feel that injury is done to me and my people by such a para graph, and, as an act of justice, I request that this denial of the truth of the statement, as tar as concerns my church, be inserted In the Express as soon as possible.—Gronon JOHNSTON, [Where Nicholson-street may be situated we do not know, but will inunire of our correspondent, who cannot, we think, have been imposed on, as he sent us a printed programme.] RLILWAY ACCIDENTL—As the four o'clock train from Dundee to Arbroath, on Saturday last, was nearingan offset, the engineer and stoker observed that the switches were set for the ending. Immediately the steam was shut off, the whistle sounded, and the brakemen immediately being at their poets, the train was slowed sufficiently to prevent any accident to the passengers.

LIVERPOOL MUNICIPALITT.—Yeeterday the seat for the revision of the Liverpool 'municipal bargees list ins opened by the mayor and his assesson. There were se than 4,000 objections made by the respective partisans, a great proportion of the whole. The court woe crowded. There are 16 *lards, and it was arranged that Renton ward should be taken first. The business of the court had not proceeded far, when the mayor stated that there were two military officers present who had been ob jected to, and as their immediate presence was required with their regiment, he thought the arrangements might be interfered with, and their dam be at once disposed of. Immediately afterwards Mr4Beinbridge, a surgeon, who had been objected to, nee and sesaplailed of being kept from his patients. He and other pearesicsal men bad been objected to on no other ground that It was supposed they would not attend.

The list was then proceeded with, and the first ward was finished about tare o'clock in the afternoon, several being struck off for non - attendance. The business of the court will occupy a could derable time. We learn that the present step is preliminary to a fierce party contest which is to be waged at the approach ing election in November.

TYPHUS FEVER AND THE PAROCHIAL AUTHORITIES IN the Nownt.—During the last fortnight, a malignant freer has spread with alarming rapidity in the lower parts of Newcastle-on-Tyne and Gateshead, and even in rural locali ties in the counties of Northumberland and Durham- In Newcastle, especially, its virulence is being felt in those pieces where crowds of destitute Irish bane taken up their temporary residence. Hundreds of that unfortunate class ate at this moment the victims of typhus in its worst turn,, and so the fever hospital is crowded with patients, the great majority of the poor creatures are compelled to remain in rooms into which nine or ten are frequently huddled. Two of the medical officers, two Roman catholic priests, and more than one of the subordinate parochial officers have might the infection, and now lay in various degrees of den ger. What aggravates the difficulty is, that the authorities of many of the Northumberland villages manage to convey their fever patients into Newcastle, and thus multiply disease where it already abounds. The other day, an Irishman, labouring under typhus, was taken from West Chevington to Newcastle, a distance of 22 miles, and there left to be provided fee. On the Durham side of the Tyne, too, the danger is driving some of the au thorities into steps which are exciting a good deal of animad version. The Gateshead poor-law guardians, finding the ex pensiveness as well as the cruelty of allowing lever patients to remain in the midst of large families, have taken a house in the adjoining parish of Lamealey, and fitted it up as a fever hospital. The Lemesley ratepayers, including Lord Ravens worth, protest against this coarse as unjust and illegal ' • and a deputation, including the Hon. H. T. Liddell, have h ad an interview with the North Durham magistrates on the sub hct, without, however, obtaining any redress. The matter as been brought before the poor-law commissioner,, and they also have declined to o ff er an opinion as to the legality of the step which the Gateshead guardians have found it ne cessary to adopt. The latter functionaries are now threatened with further proceedings by the Laniesley deputation. _YORKSHIRE. THE SWINTON lei Sellers, who stands charged with the murder of Caleb Barker at Swinton, has been brought up at the Sheffield Police-court —Mrs. Elizabeth Barker, the widow of the murdered man, said that. on the 4th of September her husband, who left home alone and perfectly sober between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, was brought home about eleven o'clock with several wounds, his head being cut and bruised, and his left ear almost cut off. He died the next morning.—Thomas Gore said : About half-past ten o'clock on the eight of the 4th of September I was passing close by Mr. Barker's potteries, near Swinton, when a man walked put. We exchanged a " good night" as we passed. When 1 had gone on a few paces further I saw a man lying in a ditch, and got him out, but he could not stand. John Heely and William Turner happened to pus at the time, and we carried him towards Barker's house, and called for alight. Barker's eon came out with a light, and recognised the man as his father. We carried him into the house. He appeared sensible, bat did not speak. He was much cut and bruised, and looked as if he had been knocked down.—John Healy said . I am a potter. I lodged with Barker, and continue to lodge with hia widow. Thu witness corroborated the statement of the previous witness. He also had met a man coming from where the body was found, but be did not think he could re cognise him again.—Thomas Raynor said: I live at Bolton upon-Dearer, and am a quarry-man. On Saturday night, Sept. 4, I was going from Sheffield station to Swinton, and got there at 5 minutes before 8, p.m. I got out at the Wath Ration. I went in a thirdolua carriage, and in the same carriage I maw the prisoner. He got in at Sheffield and out at Swinton, and asked me if I knew Thomas Garland, and other persona living there.—Mary Taylor, of Memborough, said I was at George Hampshire's public-howe, the Canal Tavern, on Saturday night, September 4. My son-ill-law was there, and the prisoner sat next to him. My son-in-law malted me whether I knew Sellars, and I said no. Prisoner said, "I am Abigal Sellars' son. She had a child by Mr. Garland, of' Bolton, and lam the lad." I said, "What do /ma do for • living ?" and he said, " I go with my father us ing die lling beasts named .

I bade them good night, and did not see them any mere.—blargaret Simp son sa id: lam the daughter of the landlady of the Ship Inn, Swinton-bridge. On Saturday, September 4, Caleb Barker came to our house between seven and eight, and had two pints of ale and pert of a three pennyworth of gin. He was sober when he came into the house, and appeared to be quite sober when he left. I noticed him then, because he asked for a pitcher with a quart of ale and a pennyworth of pipes, which he took away with him.—lnspector Aatwood repeated the evidence before pub lished of his taking the prisoner on Sept. 15, on a charge of burglary. He said, on lurching him I found a butcher's knife now produced, and took from him these trousers, on which are marks of blood in several places, I found also a pencil. Blood is on the legs of the trousers, on the nen, and on the inside,—Mrs. Barker, on being recalled, said her husband had a tobacco-box and a bit of black-lead pencil.— Mr. Raynor here produced a piece of pencil, which Mrs. Barker examined, and cried bitterly on seeing it, but could not identify it.—Mr. Blyde, surgeon, went into a long account of the state in which he found the body; and added that, in him opinion, the death of Caleb Barker was caused by a blow er blows from a heavy instrument, the fractured pieces of the skull being twelve in number. In defence, the prisoner said be was in a beastly data of intoxication. Mr. Overend said the prisoner had been seen going on the railway from Sheffield to Swinton without any apparent object in view. He had also been in that part of the country before, for the purpose of committing two burglaries, and these circumstances made all the people in the neighbourhood suspicious of him. At the some time It must be confessed that there was not suffi cient evidense of his identity to commit upon the charge of murder. Under these circumstances the prisoner would he committed to York on the two burglaries. LEICESTERSHIRE. 00IfICISSION BY LORD LIEUTENANT.—The Has. H. D.
