TO THE EDITOR or THE EXPRE&S.. SlR,—lu your impreasiou of this day's date ap pears the report of the Coal, Corn, and Flounce Committee to the Corporation of the City of London, upon the subject of sewage utilisation, along with a report of the proceedings of the Court of Common Council on Saturday ; and, as our scheme is there severely animadverted on, 1 toofidently appeal to you to give the same publicity to our reply that you have given to our antagonists, and therefore beg to enclose the copy of a letter which we have this day ad dressed to the Metropolitan Board of Works.-1 am, an., Nov. 14, INA. W. 11UFE. _ lIEPi , RT OF THE COAL, CORN, AND FINANCE oMMITfEE TO THE CORPORATION OF THE Clll OF LONDON. JOHN THWAI/E-S CHAIRMAN METKOPOLITAN HOARD paltry sum of 130,0001. • year as the value of sewage of the entire metropolis. We could give further proof of the utter worthlessness of the good gentleman's evidence, when he pia out of his depth in abstruse calculations, but we should only be wasting the time of the board as well as our own. We will say a few words more upon the visionary and im. practicable nature of the scheme of Dr. Brady, Lord Robert Montagu, Mr. Ellis, and the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, and then we have done with them. They propose to pump the entire sewage of London, consisting of upwards of 70,000 tons per diem, to a height, we believe, of 400 feet, and from that lofty elevation to distribute it through many thousands of wiles of pipes over several ocanties. Now apart from the gigantic capital outlay re quired for such a project, and the ruinous expense of main tenance of such widespread works, we venture to draw your attention to the fact, that the sieges of the labourers through whom hands this enormous volume of liquid would hays to parr in the hose and jet, would est up the whole of Dr. Brady'. and Mr. Mechi's, and Mr. Ellis's 2d. per ton. It would require no less than 20,000 men to hold 20,000 hoses to dribble out the r-eage on their principle, and the wages of these would amount to 1,136,000/. a year. And now, air, we have done with the " moderate dressings" applied through the boas and jet, recommended by the report of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, having proved what we undertook to prove, namely, that the report is based upon a series of fallacies, but we cannot help thinking that the very respectable gentletueu whose names are ap peoded to it, would act wisely, did they withdraw that re port, and either leave a subject alone that they know so little about, or read the evidence to be reported upon before they report upon it. We will now, sir, proceed to show that Baron Liebig's letter is contrary to fact. The theme of the Baron's letter is that sewage does notcoutain all the proper ties necessary fur the support of vegetable life, therefore, unless those properties are added, in which it is deficient, the crops will exhaust them from the soil, and, con sequently, afters year or two, the crops would diminish and the land would be impoverished. The Baron enlarges, at considerable length, upon this theme, but it is wholly unnecessary to follow his arguments as his theory is con trary to fact, and we refute it, therefore, by the "inex orable logic of facts." The fact is that on the sea sand at Craigailenny as uninterrupted sucoession of most luxuriant crops has been obtained for upwards of 40 years, and these crops were no poorer this year than the first year, nor poorer the Srst year than they were this year, showing, surely, that as Lord Essex says, and Professor Way, sod Mr. Loess, and a host of other witnesses, grass is the crop best adapted to utilize the manure contained in sewage ; for growing grass in sea sand is like growing mustard and cress in Impel ; the sand possesses no valuable properties of its own, it is only the medium through which to apply the nutritive element. Perhaps the singular theoretical error into which the Baron has fallen may be explained by a passage in his letter in which he says that " by baying the turnip; eaten on the field, the soil (by the solid and liquid excremental is erectly matured as if irrigated with a num ber of tons of sewage." But this is very wide of the truth ; the Baron forgets the vast v ariety and immense quantity of matter that eaters into Loodou sewage besides mere animal excrements ; soapsuds, grease, and refuse of all kinds from private houses ; blood from slaughter-houses, waste and refuse from manufactories, pulverized granite arid iron from the streets, Ass, the product of all which is a very different stuff from the simple increments of sheep in a turnip field.—We have the honour to be, air, your obedient servants, for self and William Napier, ('tigned) W. Horz. 2, Old Palace-yard, Westminster, Nov. 14. LAW INTELLIGENCE. EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 14. (Before the Lcrd Chancellor.) BICHIL V. LiPtiel.L. - _ The arguments in this part - heard ogee were renamed sad concluded, and Judgment postponed. COOKti ZOOKE-DICLLLTION OF ILLEGISLYACY. This was an appeal from Vice-Chancellor Wood. It appeared that in March, 1862, the wife of Sir William Cooke, Bart., eloped from him with ODD Mansfeldt de Car damon EltnLIL In December. 1862, she was couhued of a female child, which was baptised Mary de Cardounell Elmaall. In March, 1863, a divorce suit was instituted by Sir William Cooke against his wife, and in June, 1863, a decree for dissolution of the marriage on the grouod of the adultery of the wife was made, and imme• diately afterwards the lady was married to Mi. ElmsalL During the marriage and cohabitation of Sir William Cooke and his wife no children were born to them, and it was alleged on behalf of the plaintiff io the present suit that who...tattoo had ceased between them in May, 1861. By au dated in December, 1863, Isabella Lady Cooke, the mother of Sir William, settled a sun , of I,OUU/. on any children or any child by Sir William, the interest to be applied to their education and maintenance ; and in cos of there being no child or children the fund was to pass to the plaintiff, Charles Edward Stephen Cooke, a younger brother of Sir William. The plaintiff accordingly tiled a bill against Mary de Cardonoell Elmsall, appearing by her guardian and the trustee of the settlement, alleging that the said Mary de Cardonnell Elmsall was called Mary Cooks, sad was pretended to be a child of the marriage of Sir William Cooke with his late wife, from whom he bad been divorced ; that it was asserted that she was entitled to the benefit of the settlement, and that the interest of the fund ought to be applied to her maintenance and education. The plaiotiff alleged that the child was not the child of the marriage by Sir William Cooke, and was not entitled under the settlement ; and it was prayed that it might be declared that the plaintiff, Charles Edward Stephen Cooke, took an immediate life interest in the set• tlement, and also that it might be declared that there never p wu any child of the marriage by Sir William Cooke and his late wife. The Vice. Chancellor decided against the prayer of the plaintiff, and the present appeal was brought. Mr. Giffard and Mr. Godfrey Lushington, for the appeal, urged that this case was governed by that of " Gurney v. Gurney," is which a settlement on the children of the marriage of persons who had been divorced on the ground of adultery by the wife was used by the court for the porpoae of making a declaration of the illegitim..cy of 3.i:had, of which, under the circumstances, the husband could nut well have been the father. _ _ _ MrT6;ereU47l,Ofthecommou law bar, cod Mr. Bag shawesupported the decisloo of the court below. Mr. Itou r o r dell was for the trustee of the settlement. At the close of the ►rguments for the appellant. The Lord ehancellor,..who bed during the hearing seve ral times stated that this was • case of an unusual and collusive settlement, the object of which was to get a declaration of the illegitimacy of a child, a use of the ma chinery of this court to supply • defect in the law, which did not provide the means of making such • declaration, without calling on the respondent's counsel, said that he would take some time to consider his decision. At present, the opinion be entertained was toduenced by two considerations ; first, that the suit was not intended for the beuebt of the infant, but directed to its prejudice. Fictitious settlements had beenallosrod by the court to prevail when they were for the plains benefit of iofants, but never when they wore insti tuted against their benefit. In the second place, this was • fictitious suit, brought for the purpose of accelerating the trial of an issue which concerned another court, other parties, and other property, when according to the law as it existed such • proceeding could not be had. It was, therefore, against the policy of the existing law. What be might think of that policy was another question ; and he might say th►t be desired that it should be altered, and had attempted to alter it, so that such questions as this should be tried in a regular and distinct manner. What be now stated was only the expression of his present opinion: he would consider the case anxiously and deliberately, and if be had any doubt on the question he would hear the respondent's counsel. (Before Vice• Chancellor Sir R. T. Kitulereley.) •LLIANt.I. BANK r. BROOM. The bill in this case was tiled to enforce the specific per formance of • ccntnict to give to the plaintiff. certain dock warrants in security for a debt. The plaintiffs rue hankers at Liverpool and London, and defendants are merchants or factors in Liverpool, carrying on business under the firm of W. T. Broom and Co. Defendants had a loan account with the plaintiffs, and on the ltith September were in debted to them in the sum of 20,20 d. The manager of the bank applied to the defendants to give security, and one of the defendants called on barn and brought him a letter to the following purport "We beg to band you the follow. ing particulars of produce, which we propose to hypothecate against our loan account, and at the time time undertake to pay the proceeds, as we receive them, to the credit of same account." The list comprised articles of the aggregate value of 19,2001. At the time he banded in this letter Mr. Broom marked several of the items, which be said had already been sold. On the following day Mr. Beckett, the manager of the bank, called at the defendants' office and asked for the dock warrants, and on that occasion one of the defendants struck oat more of the goods, which Le said h►d been previously hypothecated. On the following day defendants wrote to the plaintiffs stating that they wets advised not to deliver up the warrants, and that they refused to do so. Plaintiffs thereupon filed the present bill, to which defendants demurred on the ground of want of equity, sod it was contended at the bar that the mere existence of a debt, without any premise not to press pay. meat or to make a further advance, was no consideration for moving the defendants to enter into the contract. Mr. Daniel and Mr. Higgins appeared in support of the demurrer; and Mr. Beevor for the plaintiffs in support of the hill. lila Honour reserved his decision. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nor. 14. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goolburn.) IN NZ LABCABILA.-•DJUDICATION. _ _ G. P. Lahcarkb, merchant, of 12, Winchester.house, 01.1 Broad street, preeeated a petition for adjudication of bsnkruptc7 against himself. The adjudication nag made. The liabilities are stated at 30,000/. ; assets about 8,000/. Mr. M. Abrahams, of Grashamatreet, is the solicitor order the petition. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION HOUSE. Wm. Miller, described u a clerk, who was placed at the bar last week charged with embezzling moneys to a large amount, received by him on behalf of his employer, Mr. Daniel D Dynes, of 9, Mincing-lass, merchant, was again placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Detective Sergeant Huggett. Mr. Humphreys, of the firm of Humphreys and Morgan, again appeared oo behalf of Mr. Dyeing ; and Mr. Cole ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys said upon the last occasion he appeared to support a prosecution against the prisoner at the bar, and at that time, having been only momentarily instructed, he certainly thought from the facie NJ they were Lid before him that the prisoner bad been guilty of a very serious offeoos. Since then, however, he had goo, through the books and letters at Mr. Dymes's office, and from what be bad since learnt, he had formed an opinion that if the prisoner were committed for trial it would be hopeless from the evidence to expect a conviction. ' and he appeared that day to ask his lordship's permission under the circumstances, to withdraw from the prosecution. He thought it right, however, to justify the course which had been taken by Mr. Dymes in giving the prisoner into custody, and he read a letter which Mr. Dying,' received from the prisoner the day after he absconded, and which at first sight led Mr. Dymes to suppose the prisoner was 1 ' guilty. The letter was signed by the prisoner, and was au follows :—" Sir,—How deeply I have wronged you I can not say ; but it has been unintentionally, and but for the continued pressure in the markets all would have been right. But with depreciation in the cotton, of which, I regret to say, I purchased more than I told you of ; jute, which also I purchased to the extent of about 300 tons, and the stocks , and shares at the Union Bank causing the bank to ask for I more security, and my reluctance to tell you, have brought matters to this crisis. God forgive me, I koow man won't, and Ido not deserve it. Noose in the office is to blame but myself. I shall go across to France, and anxiously watch how matter, result. With the property in the cash chest I you ought, sod I treat will, pull through. What is to be comsat my wife and children, God knows. 1 lope some kind friend will be raised to protect them." Mr. Dyme, having received this letter, was almost mire of the prisoner 's guilt, and that, in connexion with calls being made to the extent of between 30,0010 and 40,000/. for transactions of which he knew nothing, was the reason for Mr. Dymes's taking the course he had. Having looked through this letter be found that from certain allusions which the pri. weer had made to transactions, it might be thought Mr. Dross was fully aware of all the prisoner was doing, lied that a jury might be of opioira that a partherthip ' existed between the parties, and this be said would arise from the very great ooefideoce which Mr. Denies placed in ' the prisoner, who had managed his besieges for some time, and whom he had known as the principal of a firm in Madras. Taking all these facts into consideration. Mr. Humphreys said he had come to the conclusion that a con , vietioo would not if the case was sent before • jury and he thought it consistent with public justice to with. draw from the charge. i The Lord Mayor said be was there to administer justice, ! sod to commit cases for trial if he thought there was suf ficient to make sure of a conviction ; but, at the same time, if the evidence was of such a nature as to lead him to be lieve that a conviction would not be the result, it was more consistent with public justice to discharge the use, and in the present one, after having heard the opinion of Mr. Humphreys, the only course for him to adopt was to die' charge the prisms/. M 7. Cole, on the part of the prism; said that he, with Mr. Humphreys, had gone carefully through th e books land letters, and he was of opinion that there was ne fel*- , nious intention upon the pert of the pruowr , and that had it sot been for the depreciation of markets all would j have goes right. The bad returned without having been communicated wit ,h having repented the course he had adopted.

The prisoner was then discharged. EXTRAORDINARY CHAIR:Y AGAINST A CITY CIaIWYNAIi. A most protracted inquiry of a very extraor dinary character was held loot evening by Mr. W. Payne, coroner for the City of London, at the Vestry-room, Pons. tain-court. . _ _ The inquest sou held on view of the body of • newly born male child, •od owing to the revolting rumours afloat, the proceedings created in the locality remarkable interest Mr. Clines, vestry clerk, attended to watch the case on behalf of the parish authorities ; and the Rev. Mr. Rober ton, incutubent of St. Botolph, aldgate ; and the Rev. Mr. John Hunt, curate; and Mr. Churchw►rden King, C.C., were also present. The first wituess called was _ _ Walter Perkhole, 2, Spital-street, Mileeed, who said that Le was steeple-keeper and gaslighter of the parish of St. Botolph. Ott Friday last, at 12 o'clock, be saw the body of the deceased child in the vault of the church of St. Botolph, Abigote. It was wrapped up in • newspaper. Miss Hammond, the se:toner, brought him • message from the curate, the Rev. Mr. Hunt, to come to him in the vestry-room. Witness accordingly went there, and Mr. Hoot told him that there was a parcel down in the vaults, and that he wetted the skeleton of • child. He said,"There is no other way of doing it but to bod it." Mr. Hunt gave witness • shilling to buy a saucepan to boil it in. Witness had the shilling now. He wss to bring the pot to Mr. Hind on Saturday evening. Wituesa went out and told Mr. William Bigg and the sextoness. By the Coroner—lt was after that conversation that witness went into the vault and saw the body in the parcel. Witheentook it up arid put it in ashen lest the cats should get at it. Wituca did not buy the pot as he did not think it right. /le did not see the curate after the Friday. In consequence of information given to them the church• wardens ordered the vaulter to be locked up. Mary Hammond, wanness to the church, said that on Weduesday last the curate came to the church and said to whines " Open the vault door, and let me down there." He sa id no more, and witness opened the vault and turned on the gas. The curate hod • parcel, wad he took it down into the vault and left it than. Winne. thought it WAS a bundle of clothes. Witness then locked the vault. The Rev. Mr. Hunt came on Friday to churchings and baptisms. He told wanes* not to let the steeple-keeper go away haute he (Mr. Hunt) saw him. The steeple-keeper CAMS out and told witness that Mr. Hunt had given him • shilling to buy spot to bull the child in. Mr. David King. C.C., said that he was churchwarden of the parish of St. Botolph. From information given to him of Friday last he locked up the vault, of the church. On Saturday he requested the Rev. Mr. Roberton, the Rev. Mr. Hunt, and af. Clines, the vestry clerk, to meet him in the vestry-room, and at three o'clock he met than there. He cautioned the Rev. Mr. Hunt as to any statement he 'night wake, and asked him for ILI Clplituation of the charge. Tufa rev. gentleman treated the matter with great levity. He mid that the body was that of • foAus and not of a child, and that he only wanted to boil it to get the akele too. When asked "How and from whom did you get itr he declined to &tower. A surgeon was then sent for, and from what transpired they seat to the coroner. Afterwards Mr. Hind stated that he wanted the child for screotitic and anatomical purposes. Mr. Andrew Holman, M.R.C.S., said that be had ex &named the body of the deceased. It had been only very recently born. Nu marks of violence were visible, but there was a very peculiar appearance over the whole body. It was perfectly bloodless, Tee umbilical cord was no tied, as was usual when medical men were present at the birth. Tee general practice among medical men was te tie the cord before it was cut, iu order to prevent haimordage. In the present case it was cut WILL, a sharp, and not, as was usual, with • blunt instrument. Witness said to the clutch warden, " It is very suspicious ; the child has bled to death." Upon ticking • postniorteea examination, he found that the clitei was a well formed raven months child. The luugo were goiged with blood. He believed the child must have been alive up to the moment of birth, but might have died dutiug birth. It might perhaps have given one cry, but it had not fully breathed. The lungs sank in water. He believed that it was the first child of • woman, and that the poor creature had delivered herself. The Rev, John Hunt, 4, George-street, Ilinories, was then swore. He said that he was curate of the parish of St. llotolpb. On the defence which he could make for him self depended the judgment of the public, for a case in which a clergyman was concerned was not terminated by the verdict of a jury. He was charged, he supposed, with having placed under the church of which he was curate • human tutus, and with having sig. titled his intention to dissect the same. The lint • question the multitude would ask waa, " What has • tier gymth to do with dissection'" Most people would an swer, " Nothicg at all • his doctrine is to be derived from the written Word of God." But others would remember that there was also a book of nature, wherein be might see God too, and wherein, with purified haute and minds, communion might be held with the Eternal. He might be in the miuordy perhaps of his own profession, but he held it to be Lis acted duty as a theologian to inquire into every quarter of nature's . kingdom, to search out her mys teries, and see her glorious and miraculous works, for in • studying nature he was studs iag (,od. The greatest both in theology and science had declared that the two studies should never be divorced, aid that from their union the best results might be expected. It had been urged against him that, as a clergyman, he could have no acquaintance with practical scieu:e, and that his only object in dissecting • Lean was the gratification of an idle and improper curiosity. That be denied. He always had io view the interests of theo.ogy. He had attended • com plete course of lectures of Mr. Savory, the eminent lecturer on anatomy and physiology at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and that gentleman entui ly agreed with him as to the benefit a theologian would derive from those studies. He had also attended other lectures at other hospitals. Dv. Hadlow, the medical officer of the parish, knew that for weeks past he had been engaged in close study of the homologies of vertebrate animals, sod that he had written an article since forwarded to • scientific journal. Dr. Thynne, last Wednesday, gave him the fatal as • present. Having no convenience at his lodgings he took it to the vaults and told Parkbol• to bring • pot of warm water on Saturday for the purpose of dissection. He found afterwards that be could not attend to it on Saturday night, and he therefore went earlier, when the aextooais told him that Mr. Churchwarden King ordered the vault to be kept locked. As the words " bail" and "saucepan" are by no means agreeable associated with the idea of butane, he must solemnly declare in the sight of God and in the face of that assecubly that the words were not used by him. He first beard them from the lips of Mr. Churchwarden King. It was too ridactdons to suppose that be was so igno rant of direction as to think of doing what would only have defeated his object. He offered either to remove the rictus or to dissect it it their presence. Both proposals were refused. In 4:occlusion the rev gentleman complained bitterly of the cooduct of Mr. King in bringing about the present inquiry. The breath of public suspicion, arid die trust of his brethren in the ministry, or the disapprobation of his diocesan, might produce irreparable injury to him. He then called, foe the defence, Dr. Thoma; . Thynne, 140, Minorite who said that he bad known the Rev. Mr. Hunt intimately. He had asked witness for a fcrtus some months beck. Os Wednesday last witness was celled in to a woman nearly confined. The child was dead. Witneee obtained the child, which was prema ture, and gave it to the Rev. Mr. Hunt. The mother had bad a fall on the tiaturday previous to her delivery. Dr. Hadlow said that the Rev. Mr. Hunt lived in his house, and was always devoted to medical studies. Dr. Barnes said that the Rev. Mr. Hunt had studied medicine with him. The Coroner said that it was clear that the rev. gentle man bad pursued medical studied, but whether wisely or not it was not for him to say. Certainly in a country dis trict a clergyman might be called in to a woman to give her religious consolation, and it might so happen that she might become suddenly ill, and his medical asaiatance would be of great use. In the present case the cbutchwardens had done their duty. The public mind would not have been satisfied without an inquiry. The foreman then said that the verdict of the jury was aa follows :—" That the deceased child was stillborn, and the jury, while admitting the right of the Rev. Mr. Hunt to study medicine, are of opinion that it would Le better if he confined his studies to matters of a clerical character to the exclesion of the study of anatomy." Tim proceedings then terminated. A DANGEROUS RAILWAY PASSENGER. —The Belfast correspondent of the /memo writes that on Sa turday evening, at the Knock Station, on the County Down Railway, upon the arrival of the train which left Belfast for Dovropetrick at 5 o'clock, the guard was called to • 6rat-chiss carriage by a lady, who requested, with two or three other ladies, to be shown into another compartment, as the only gentleman in the compartment with them was conducting himself io such • manner that they were afraid to remain. The guard at once complied with their request. On the arrival of the train at the Comber station a young man who was about to enter the compartment the ladies had left told the guard that the gentleman in that compartment had a revolver in his hand. The guard, followed by the station-master, entered the compartment, but had no sooner done so than the gentleman put • re volver to the guard's breast. He. with great pre sence of mind, knocked the extended arm towards the ground, and, after a struggle, took the re volver from him. The gentleman was apparently notion scions of his acts, as he was under the infusion of drink, and had the appearance of having been thinking for two or three days. On examining the revolver it was found to be loaded with bullets io four cbarubers. The offending and dangerous passenger had an information liken against him, and he was committed for trial at the qaartir sessions, bail being accepted.

At Bow-street Police-court yesterday (Monday), • young man named Alfred Patterson, late assiatant clerk in the post-office at Southend, Eases, was brought on by Sergeant hackman, of the City detective force, on the charge of stealing 74 forms of Post-o®ce orden and advice., .• I also with forging and uttering orders and &deices on the ...al forma Mr. Peacock conducted the prosecution on behalf of tLs General Post-offioe. It appeared that the prisoner left his employmeet tith February, and the frauds were dimoovered in the c 00 1 ..., of the following week.

Sir,—We have carefully examined the report upon the utilisation of sewage which has been published by the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee of the Corporation of the City of London, and as this report, which cannot fail, if uurefuted, to may,: great weight with the Metropolitan Board, is due ct!y opposed to the fundamental principles of our scheme, we teel it to be our duty to point out, without the kr. of a single day, that the report is based upon • series of fallacies, and it the letter of Baron Liebig ap pended to it is contrary to fact. In the first place, it is clear from the language of the report that the whole subject was entirely new to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Com bo:tee. .1t the acme time, no one eau for a moment q..estion the perfect hood !hits with which they entered upon their inquiry, and they adopted the readiest and most natural means of getting trustworthy information by luvitoog the co-operation of Dr. Brady and Lord Robert Montagu, the chairman of the two select committees of the House e; Commo ns that sot upon the question in 1562 and Reit. But in applying to these two gentlemen (if we may my no without infnugirg on the privileges of the house) they, es it happens, ettectually shut out one aide of the ques tion, and debarred themselves from hearing an impartial statement of the case. We believe that Dr. Brady makes no sort of secret of Lis disbelief in our scheme an d in the priuciples on which it is founded, cr of his entire concur rence in the views of Mr. Edis, and his enthusiastic belief in that geutlemati's sanguise anticipations ; and though we have hitherto carefully abstained from all personal allusions and mention of names, we think the time has now come I when we can no longer do so. But, in sayin--. that Dr. Brady is an enthusiastic supporter of his friend Mr. Ellis, we are eusious not to be misunderstood ; we do not desire for one moment, even in the most distant or indirect mea tier, to impute to Dr. Brady' any unworthy motive—we only wise to say that as Dr. Brady is an enthusiastic partisan, tire Coal, Corn, and Finauoe Committee could not have gone to a worse source for • dispaasionate, impartial sum mery of the evidence. Lord Robert Montagu, we believe, shares iu • great nosieure tun opinion of Dr. Brady, and in Lis exeinivatioo of ourselves showed plainly his strong dis approval of our scheme. These two gtutlemen holding these opinions, so oppornd to our Reticule, and holding these opinions strongly, would not have been conscientiously dis charging their duty as public men had they not done every thing in their power to bring the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee to their view, which they accordingly have dune most effectuilly. But, sir, what is a report worth I which is breed upon the examination of two strong parti sena! The Corn, Coal, and Finauce Committee as-ert in their report that an the result of the parliamentary inquiry it appears that the sewage of the metropolis le worth 2,51ei,572/., but how this can be stated as the result of the lad hamerdary it quiry we confess ourselves at a loss to un derstand. Such a statement is altogether against the balance of reliable evidence adduced before both select com mittees. The Corn, Coal, and Finance Committee next pretend to show, from the evidence before Dr. Brady'. corn. I mitre, that small dressiegs of sewage applied through the hose and jet are for the snout remunerative, and have bees eminently successful in the experiments of Lord Essex, Mr. W. S. Miles. and Mr. Alderman Mechn We say pre tend to show, because, as we shall presently prove, such a statement is wholly at variance with the evidence. In answer to queation . 4, Lord Essex states that sewage is " undoubtedly more suitable to Italian rye grass than to anything else. " In answer to question 5, his lordship states that he bad made a great error in trying to distribute his sewage over too great an area, and instead of applying it to 210 acres, he ought not to have attempted to spread it over more than tic. In answer to question 32, be state, that be has contracted the regular application of his sewage to 45 acres, that now and then he applies a little to wheat or I clover if he has it to spare, but that he " really has it not to spare," and that he puts "about 5,000 tons per annum upon the Italian rye grads." Surely, air, the Coal, Coro, and Finance committee have made their report without rea ding the evi- I deuce ! In answer to question 4S, Lord Essex goes on to say that in hisopinion arid from hie experience there would be no demand for sewage unless sold under one penny per too, at from a halfpenny to three farthings, which would give about S'oo,ooo/. as the yearly value of the sewage of both sides of the metropolis, instead of 2,899,972 C as stated by the Coal, ('ore, and Finance Committee. In answer to question 62, Lord Essex again repeats that " you ought to calculate for ltaliaa rye-grass," from 5,000 to 6,000 tons a year per acre." Flow then, sir, can Dr. Brady or Lord Robert Montage, or the Coal, Corn, and Finance Com mittee torture Lis lordship's evidence into advocating the useless little sprinklings hardly to be termed dress ings," which they recommend! They would apply the sew age of the entire metropolis to no less than 1)1.0,000 acrea, which would give only 443 tons per acre, and yet they pre tend that this is what Lord Exam recommends, though he expressly state* that he recommends from 5,000 to 0,000 tone. Let us now turn to the evidence of Mr. Miles, the second witness upon whose evidence the Coal, Corn, and Finance Coremittee base their report. Sir Baldwin Leighton asked thin gentleman (question 4,327), "It is desirable for us to know as nearly as we can, what the profit and Ines of the matter ir," to which Mr. Miles very frankly replied, " natu rally, that is why I was rather loath to be examined, be cause I knew that I could not give it, sad no opinions are valuable unless they are accurate and exact." Mr. Caird, in addressing. question 4,353 to Mr. Miles, said, "Then we shall not be able to place much re liance upon your evidence?" to which Mr. Miles candidly replied, "That is exactly why I del not think that I could really give any evidence." So much, sir, for the second authority of the Coal, Coro, and Finance Committee. There remains Mr. Alderman Mechi. We can well underatataldhat his evidence would have great weight with members of the Corporation of the City of London, but, sir, we undertake to show that Lis evidence is absolutely worthless, and that he has oo experience in sewage whatever. In answer to question 1,004, Mr. Mechi states that he distributes his socalled sewage, but more properly liquid manure, over 170 acres ; but in answer to question ttel, be states that be only has the sewage of 12 persons at his disposal, which is mixed with the whole of his farmyard manure, both liquid and solid. wed (answer 1,030) guano. as well, we "(relieve, as an occasional dead horse or so. What then has his cape. rience to do with town sewage? His house sewage of 12 per sons is distributed over 17U acres, or at the rate of about Li acres per head of the residents, that is to nay that the excreta of each octavo are spread over upwards of 70.010 square yards in the course of the year, or over 191 square yards per diem. Is it possible that this infinitesimal ap plication can produce any appreciable effect whatever? and is it not mere elute of time to consider such evidence? We believe that even an alderman (and we e.iy it with all de ference) would he overtaxed by so large so allotment of land to he fertilized daily. But, sir, even Mr. Mechi says repeatedly (Questions 1,i'34, 1.037, 1.042, I,lllis, 1,12. i) that he consider. 231u0 toss per acre not too much. How then can the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee state that he recommends aa little as 443 tons per acre as the proper quantity ? When Le talks of 2.000 tons per acre of liquid manure (a very dif ferent thing front sewage) Mr. Hecht is talking about figures within his grasp, and occurring in his own experience, but is is true enough that when the worthy alderman gets into figure.. of w hich he has no experience, he says in answer to question 1.142. that the sewage of the metropolis*/ suflicient for 1,004.000 acres, that mat the rate of 260; too. per acre, or only one-tenth of what he recommends from his own experi ence. Again, Mr. Hecht says in answer to question 1,022, that proceeding upon an "unerring principle' he values the sewage of London at 2,000,000 f. per annum, that the theo- retical value would be 4U0,000/. more, but that be cannot reduce it below 2,000,000/„• which be repe-ita at answers 1.07i-1 and 1,057, but in answer to question 1,024 be states the value at 24. per ton, which he repeats at questions 1,034, sod 1,003, andlthis, sir, would give only 1,117,1021. ea the yearly value of the sewage of London, whence we can arrive at some idea of the value of the "wierriog principle" upon which he calculated its value at 2,0110.0091., or, more correctly, 2,400,0U01., that is more than twice es much. Which is at fault? the aldermen's experience? or his on. erring principle ? But, sir, in answer to question 1,139, the alderman values the sewage of 20,000 people at only worth I,ooof. a year, and this would give only the comparatively NATIONAL TEMPERANCE LEAGUE. Last night the Lord Mayor presided overt meet ing at the Guildhall in furtherance of the objects contem plated by this emaciation. An enormons noncom , e of per. sons were present, the vast ball being completely tilled, and hundreds being nimble to gain admission. The LORD Mstoa having briefly opened the business of theeveninc. Mr. S. ticeNer, M.P., read a statement respecting the objects of the association. lit. Sancti. Morthet was anxious to appeal to the citizen. ship of his fellow-citizens on • greet social question, deeply affecting the welfare of the great 111111111 l• of the people. He wanted to see the people happier—(hear, hear)—and he felt convinced that the habit of drinking was doing more than all other causes put together to keep them down— socially, politically, and religiously. (hear, hear.) He be lieved in the prosperity of England, but he feared that the wealth of the country was getting into fewer hands. He was afraid that the poor were getting poorer, and he thought he saw more anxious faces iu the streets than formerly. (Hear.) A nation always lived in its cottages—that was to say, the majority of its people won their Iry lug by the sweat of their brow ; and that they were cup..l,le of being greatly influenced by the example of their social ruperiors. lie did not pre tend that total abstainers were more virtuous than pe3ple who took their glass of ale or wine ; but he did say that four-fifths of the crime, and • large portion of the disease, lunacy, and untie& onus of the country was due to drink. (Hear, hear.) The greatest obstacle to the school, moreover, was the public •house. We were threatened with a general election very shortly, and he was told that 2,000,001.4 was spent upon public-houses on such occasions. He thoroughly agreed In the suggestion that those houses should be closed for • week before and a week after. (Enthusiastic cheers.) He was iu favour ef an extension of the suffrage, but he could not shut his eyes to the fact that many • working man disfranchised himself by spending money on drink which he might better lay out in a house that would give him a vote. (Hear, hear.) He was thankful to see the large number of clergymen who had joined the league, and he quoted a passage from the Beau of Carlisle to show that the clergy derived a great increase of influence from taking that step. He (Mr. Morley) would treat habitual drunkards as lunatics, and imprison them. (Hear, hear.) He would forbid beer to be drink on the premises. if it was wanted, let it be bought and taken home. (Hear, hear.) lie was also in favour of closing public.houses at six o'clock in the evening; and be thought that there should be some change in the licensing system. The system of licensing music balls where iutoxicatiog liquors were sold was the fruitful source of demoralisation. (Cheers.) le was glad to see that that was also becoming the opinion of a great number of the Middlesex magistrates. It would be hardly orthodox to refer to the Permissive Bill. He was a very ardeet member of the League, and was not • member of the Alliance ; but he was deliberately of opinion that something in the nature of the Permissive Bill was noires eery. (Great cheering.) He thought that with great rno diEcation and wi th much care such • measure might be • adopted—in short, rather than give to the magistrates the power of determining where drink should be sold, he would give the power to the inhabitants of the district. I(Loud cheers.) The Rev. R. MAGUIM next addressed the meeti ng. The Crry CLIAMBEHLALY congratulated the right boo. chairman on the manner in which he was inaugurating his year of office. It was quite true that the upper and middle dares were not now much addicted to drinking ; but if Gog and Magog could speak, they could tell • veryldifferent tale about the past. He found it written in the City records that " Charles IL, in 1674, dined at Guffdhall, and Sir Robert Vyner, the Loth Mayor, getting elated, the King stole off and made towards his coach, which stood ready for him in tie Guildhalliard. Then the Lord Mayor had grown so intimate that he pursued the King, and, catching him first by the band, cried out, ' Sir ' you shall stay and take Vother bottle. The monarch looked kindly at him over his shoulder, and, with • smile and graorifil air, re peated this line of the old song • Ln that tattrunk is as great u a king' —(laughter)—sod immediately turned beck and complied with Ina host." In thirty years—since the movement was first inaugurated at Preston. in Lancashire—its progress has been very remarkable. There are more than 3.000,000 British subjects now affording demonstration that health end wealth are both promoted by total abstinence. Speak ing for himself, be (Mr. Scott) had experienced during the last twelve years that total abstinence fro¢ alcoholic bever ages bad brought Lim better health, increased strength, en larged girth, sounder sleep. sod a clearer bead. Be bed during that period worked hauler, and had done more good to himself and to his fellow men then st any former period. (Cheers.) lieneralisations based on few facts were, how ever, dangerous, and night be deceptive. They had now a body of statistics to prove that their abstinence was the mercy " twice blessed ;" that the abstainer wee benefited, and made no sin:mince himself, while he eodeevoured to save the victim of excess. Addresses were also delivered by Mr. Dixon, coroner for South Oxfordshire, Mr. U. Crurh.Lauh, and the Rev. N. Hal Thanks were then voted to the Lord Mayor, and the meeting, after singing the National Anthem. and giv ing three cheers for the Queen and for the temperanos cause, broke up. TER LOSS OF Tilt ONTARIO -The assesson of the Board of Trade gave their decision in the case of the Ontario at Liverpool yesterday. It was as follows :—Tbe court, having carefully investigated the circumstances con nected with the loss of the screw steamship Ontario on Hasbro' Sand., on the morning of the 16th ult., has come to the conclusion that this is not one of the class of cases in which blame attaches to the master. The evidence shows that the ship was under the charge of a licensed pilot, ap pointed by the owners, and that the master was locally unacquainted with the coast. The court does not hold that in all comes the fact of a pilot being on board is to relieve the master from rempousibility ; but in this case, as they see no neglect or dereliction of duty, either on the part of the master or Lis crew, Mr. John Brooking cannot fairly be held amenable for the loss of his ship. The court has, therefore, great pleasure in returning Mr. Brook ing his certificate. The court regrets that it cannot take so favourable a view of the conduct of the pilot. It is of opinion that Mr. Alexander Scott e►inced a want of caution is the navigation of this vessel, in continuing his course at fall speed after failing to make either the Dudgeon or Dowsing light-vessels, instead of hauling up and proceeding slowly until he Lad ascertained his position. Tbe court cannot, however, deal with the pilot under the pro visions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, which regulates these inquiries, but will feel it their duty to report the opinions thus expressed to the Board of Tiede. It is unnecessary, in giving this judgment, to edd anythieg bearing upon the collateral question which has arisen out of this inquiry relating to the services of the Yarmouth lifeboat. The matter will be dealt with in the report which the court will make to the Board of Trade. This decision was read by Mr. Raffia., the legal assemor, on the part of himself and Captains Harris and Baker, nautical assessors; and the certificate was immediately handed to Captain Brooking.
