The semi-official North German Gazette of this evening sap :—" In view of certain reports which continue to be published by different journals, we must again repeat that the relations subsisting between Prussia and the Netherlands are of the moat satisfactory character." The same journal, commenting upon a statement recently published by some English journals, declares that Prussia has entered into no negotia tions whatever upon the Eastern question, either with Austria, with Russia, or with any other power ; and that as regards Eastern affairs, the attitude of Prusaia will be that of a tranquil spectator. The North German Gazette further declares that the smarties of some English papers, that a misun derstanding has arisen between the courts of Ber lin and St. Petersburg upon German questions, is entirely unfounded. PRUSSIA AND SAXONY. DRESDEN, Oar. 94. The command of the fortress of Konigstein was handed over to the Prussian General Briesen to day. The Saxon troops are placed under the command of the new governor, and the officials continue in the exercise of their functions. The Saxon artillerymen of the garrison remain, but the infantry who have been relieved by the Prussian troops go to PiUnits. SAXONY. LEIPZIO, Oor. 24. The German General Gazette of to-day says " The public prosecutor has demanded that several members of the national party should be tried for treason against the state on account of the speeches which they made at the meeting recently held in the Central-hall in this town." BADEN. CARLt3RIIKE, Orr. 24. In to•day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, a debate took place upon the motion of the com mittee of the house relative to the armistice, the treaty of peace, and alliance with Prussia. At the conclusion of the debate, which lasted live hours and a half, the motion was put to the vote, when the first paragraph, relative to the armistice, was passed unanimously. The second paragraph, re ferring to the treaty of peace, was also adopted, ' there being only ten dissentients ; but the third, proposing alliance with Prussia, was rejected by a large majority, only nine members voting in its [ favour. AUSTRLL VIENNA, Ocr. 24. The Evening Post (evening edition of the official Vienna Gazette) says :—" Intelligence has recently been published, that the Austrian government had declined s proposal alleged to have been addressed to it by the M;drid cabinet, that Spain and Austria should take common action for the defence of the temporal power of the Pope. With reference to this statement, we must observe that if it is cor rect that Spain, like all other catholic powers, is strongly interested in the welfare of the Holy ' See, and has made that question the subject of certain representations, the latter have never as sumed the character of formal proposals. The Austrian cabinet could, therefore, have had no oc casion to gives reply of any kind to the Span - " government." PRAGUE, Oar. 2L The Emperor arrived here this evening, and met with an enthusiastic reception from the inhabitants. The burgomaster of the town welcomed his Ma jesty with a speech in Bohemian, to which the Emperor replied in the same language. VIENNA, Ocr. 24, Evzsmo. An Imperial decree has been issued convoking the Croatian Diet for the 19th November next HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA. PENTH, Ocr. 24.

A royal decree has been published to-day, fixing the number of deputies to be returned to the Italian parliament from Venetia at fifty. Nu merous despatches have been received here, stating the unanimity with which the Venetians have nearly everywhere voted in favour of union with Italy. At Venice there were 36,500 affirmative, and only seven negative votes. Yesterday the Senate determined the method of procedure to be adopted at the trial of Admiral Persano. _ _ .

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (raw cm owNool PARIS, WIDIRSDLY Emma. The Emperor accompanied by the Empress and the Prinoe Imperial, drove out yesterday, and made a short apparition on the Boulevards. A cabinet council was held to-day at 1 o'clock. Of course I do not pretend to know the subjects de bated, but it is generally believed that the distress at Lyons and general measures for the relief of the labouring classes would principally en gage its attention. M. Chevresu, the Prefect of Lyons, baa been summoned by telegraph to Paris, and I believe he would be present at the deliberations. The reports of ministerial changes still circulate, notwithstanding the contra diction in the Patric, to which I did not give suffi cient weight in writing yesterday evening, having forgotten that that newspaper was bought a few days ago by M. Rimy, one of the persons named as a candidate for power. His entrance into the ministry is, for the present at least, not likely, as I see it announced that he and M. Talabot are to leave this evening for Algeria, in connexion with the new Compagnie AlgiSrienne. -Areeng the probable successors of M. Thouvenel the names of M. Laity, the old personal friend of the Emperor, of Marshal Bandon, and of M. Dronyn de Lhuys are put forward. M. Lavalette leaves Paris for three weeks this evening. M. de Monrtier was received by the Emperor yesterday, when, it is understood, the new nominations to the vacant embassies and missions will be decided. He has made a most favourable impression on the foreign ministers in Paris. They are extremely pleased with his frankness. M. Benedetti has returned from his visit to Corsica. It is gene rally believed that he returns to Berlin. M. de Metternich is going for a fortnight's tour, but as he is having the furniture of the embassy magni ficently renewed there can be no truth in the ru mours of his retirement. His well-known hospi tality and the charming way in which both he and the princess do the honours of their house, would make his departure greatly regretted. He is the most popular of the foreign representatives with all classes. M. de &Alger, who has returned to Paris on leave, will not go back to Rome, where he was sot a favourite either with the Pope, who spoke of him disparagingly as the contino (little Count), nor with general society. Rumour designates M. de Malaret as his successor, but M. de Banneville, who is also named, has, for many reasons, a _ . . . better chance of being called to this difficult post. He was director of foreign affairs, one of the bighted posts In the Ministers des Affaires Etrangires. The immediate withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico seems to be decided, with the object, in all probability, of avoiding the humilia tion of listening to, or seeming to act on the peremptory remonstrances of which General Dix is said to be the bearer. It is now stated that ten screw transports and as many frigates are ordered to sail during the next month for Vera erns to bring back the French corps of occupation, " according to the new arrangements which General Castelnau is authorised to make with the Emperor Maximilian." President John son deserves praise for the vigour of his policy in regard to Mexico, but the French Emperor is also entitled to credit for the marvellous alacrity with which he backs out of the difficulty he had created for himself. The officious organs of his policy here, which used to praise the prudence of the Austrian Archduke, now begin to hint at the want of energy he has displayed, by which, no doubt, the failure of the expedition will be accounted for. The condition of the Empress of Mexico leaves little room for hope. It has been thought advis able to remove her from the castle of Miramar, which is built on the edge of a rock, to a house in the garden. Some details of her illness, melan choly though they be, may interest your readers. After her interview with the Holy Father, in which he refused to secede to any of her demands, the idea that she was being poisoned took firm pos session of her. She dismissed some of the Mexican gentlemen attached to her service, and even then ate nothing which she had not given to be tasted by a large cat. She repaid its services by ordering it a pair of boots, and giving it the order of Guadeloupe. She took nothing but chocolate and roasted chestnuts, and drank only lemonade, which she called for her self at the confectioner's. The morning before her departure, famishing from her lung abstinence, she went to the Vatican to get two eggs cooked in their shells. Her aversion to the sight of French soldiers was such that she insisted on the guard of honour being removed from the hotel she was stay ing at. The animation which marked the Bourse of yesterday has given way to-day. It is probable that for some time to come these alternate fits of confidence and distrust will be the order of the day. A part of the advance in prices made yester day has been lost to-day with the single exception of the Comptoir d'Eacompte, which has again im proved 2fr. 50c. Rent. has lost 10c. for cash, but is firm at 68fr. 90c. for account. The Mobilier and its satellites have lost some of the ground gained, excepting the Gar, in which there is a rise of 15fr. Most of the railways exhibit a slight fall. Italian Five per Cents., at 551 r. 80c. for account, are 70c. lower than yestrday. - A CURIOII2I Ditrotirr.—The following were de posited under the earner-stone of a unitarian church just , Lid in New York :—" Holy Bible, Book Worship of the Church of the Messiah," Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United State'," Channing's Thoughts,' F.

GRAND BAZAAR AT PRlBTON.—Yesterday a grand hamar was opened at Preston in aid of the new in firmary which is now being built in that town. The bazaar, which is in the area of the Corn Exchange, will be kept open until Saturday night. All the stalls and deco rations are from Liverpool; they were used there when the Southern bazaar was held in fn. George's-ball about two years ago. One of the principal stalls has been pt ' up by the working men of the town, the others have been contributed to by the nobility, gentry, tea, of the district. The bazaar is under the petrol:ego of her Majesty the QOM& VENICE. piox ova SPACIAL VEI4IOB, Oor. $O. no gnat gala day of freedom and good fellow ship, which filled the streets with Italian soldiers and covered the houses with Italian flags, came to an end amid • general illumination. Venice was illuminated in what Englishmen would think an old-fashioned manner. There were more candles displayed in attic windows, and more coloured lan terns hanging over private doorways, than we are aosustomed to see, whilst those ambitious effects of gas light and cut-glass with which London is familiar found here but scanty imitation. The principal feature of the scene was heartfelt public rejoicing, and the Venetians cared little whether their gas-jets were few or many. People would collect before some tasteful device in red, white, and green lanterns, would admire what they saw, give a cheer for the tricolor, and turn aside to fraternise with a group of soldiers. The soldiers were prime favourites with all. Happy were the lads who had friends in uniform, and who weld Walk through the *sets at top speed with such friends, shouting " Viva Maria ends , r Sudden shoats were the order of the night, and were con tinued at intervals until long after the lanterns had gone out and the transparencies had burnt dim Truly, October 19 will be as well remem bered by Venice as October 16 by Verona. This morning these was a sound of cannon which brought many citizens running to the Piaszetta. But they found that it was only a salute to the /mach war steamer Provence, as she departed from Venice—her mission here being at an end. The Italian fleet has now the sole possession of the harbour, and onshore every trace of other than Italian rule has been done away with. Flagstaffs which were formerly painted blackand yellow arenow red, white,and green. The imperial eagle over tobacconist shops and over the entrance to public buildings has been succeeded by the Cross of Savoy, and inscrip tions, which contained the words " imperial and royal," have now merely " royal," with a smudge just before it. In anticipation of the forthcoming popular vote, when Venetians will have to answer " yes " or " no" to the question—Will they join the Italian kingdom €---an answer is ready pre pared, and is fixed like a cockade upon every one's hat. " Yes," says the motto of the cockade. " Yes, yea, yes, we will join united Italy," is the heading of one protest which I have seen posted up at street corners ; and another protest, " We de sire Victor Emmanuel," is affixed to every door post. As to the printed answers before mentioned, they were distributed this morning among the gay, bustling crowd in the place of St. Mark by certain zealous and patriotic persona, who persuaded even priests to wear them. Whatever the mass of the clergy may feel with regard to temporal sove reignty, there are many Roman catholic priests in Venice who do not forget that they are also Italians. They hope that the Holy Father may come to terms with his fellow-countrymen, and that a violent revolution in Rome may thus be avoided. To-day has been kept as a continuation of the festrval. Shops are shut, and coffee-houses are full to overflowing. The city is still decked with flags from pavement to chimney-pot, and the sol diers are still objects of curiosity as well as ho noured guests. To-morrow the vote will be taken, on Monday it will be counted, and the result from all Venetia will be made known without delay. Then the triumphant entry of Victor Emmanuel will be anxiously expected, and the city will do her best to prepare for his fitting reception. It is said that by the end of this month the King will have arrived, but I know not how far the report may be trusted. PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO LORD BYRON. —A pre liminary meeting for promoting the abo v e o b j ect was held yesterday in the mayor's parlour, Nottingham ; Mr. T. C . Hine in the chair. A discussion took place as to the most appropriate manner in which the object should be carried out. in which the Rev. J. H. M'Callan, Councillor E. P. Cox, Mr. W. Chapman, and others took part. The pro position most in favour was the erection of a bronze statue in Nottingham. Mr. Walker suggested Cultosi-street (Swine -green), the scene of the noble poet's first couplet: " In Nottingham town, near to Swine-green, Lives ss curet an old woman as ever was seen," he., as the meet appropriate place. The top of Market street was also mentioned as a proper place for the statue. The following resolutions were unanimously carried :- 1. " That it is heartily desirable that an effort should be made for collecting a national subscription, with a view of erecting a memorial to Lord Byron." 2. " That it is de- sirable to form a provisional committee, and that Mr. Doran and Mr. Chapman be the honorary secretaries." It wan then arranged to write to Lord Lytton, Lord Broughton, Sir John Dowsing, Lord Brougbarn, Mr. Charles Dickens, and other noblemen and gentlemen for support. When replies from the above hays been received a public meeting will be convened. - - -- - DEATH OF 'AN UNDERGRADUATE BY DROWNING AT OXFORD.-It is our piainful duty to record another of those sad and fatal accidents which occasionally occur on the river at Oxford and Cambridge, the fatality, in this in stance, happening on the Isis. It appears from what we have been enabled to glean that the deceased, Mr. Brad hey, of New College, formed one of a crew which was en gaged in a scratch four-oar race with other members of his college. Three crews had engaged in the contest, which proceeded safely until Saunders-bridge bad been reached, where deceased's and one of the other crews' oars came into contact, and deceased and his four compeers were capsized. The accident attracted numerous persons to the spot, and an inq uiry from a spectator elicited an answer to the effect that they could all swim but Bradley." Upon this six or seven plunged in, and the greatest confusion prevailed, the boat on which deceased - bad been hanging having been turned over in the attempt to render him assist ance. A ballast boat near the spot and punts were immediately in attendance, but the deceased had disappeared from the surface. At this juncture one of the capsized crew reached the Oxfordshire shore, and made towards Oxford, which led to the supposition that deceased had got out all right. Mr. Willan, President of the Oxford University Boat Club, hastened to the spot, and was meat untiring in his endeavours to recover de ceased by diving, but as the water was very thick and dis coloured, his efforts were unavailing, as were those of Mr. W. F. Short, of New College, and the other gentlemen who jumped into the river. The accident happening so near Oxford, it was some little time before the water bailiffs arrived. The drags, however, were effectually used by Time, a servant of the Boat Club, who, in company with Bosom, found the body of the deceased about tse quarters of an hour after the catastrophe, and about thirty yards from the spot where the boat went over. The body was taken to the Boathouse Tavern, where it now remains pending • coroner's inquest. The deceased was the brother of the bead-master of Marlborough College, and had only just gained one of the open scholarships as New College. lie was a very fine, handsome young fellow of nineteen, standing nearly six feet in height, and was much re spected.

A °Much oonferenos, consisting of the ele_Fiff and laity of the deaneries of Hertford, Ware, and Welwyn, was held at Hertford on Monday. The bishop of the diocese met the members of the cooferense at Bt. • Church, where there was litany salvias, sad the conference was held at the Town-hall in the afternoon, under the presidency of the bishop. The subject far maddoration was " How we may inoresse and extend the good e ff ects of the services of churehmen, and of the pastors of the March, among the various classes of society, and especi ally in regard to the artisan and laboaring classes." I) cussion was opened by a paper from the Hon. and Be,. Lowther Barrington, chaplain to the bishop, which was read in Mr. Barrington's absence, by the Bev. Owls@ Denies. The paper colazonser by remarking as the Inadequacy of the ordinary means of regular service in the national sanctuaries to convey the gospel mosey to the poor, and on the necessity at going amongst the people as the apostles did. Reference was made to the labours of Whitfield and Wesley, who had established en influence ono their followers equal to that of the church of Rome over those who nowledged her sway simply by the ministry of the word of Gad and by prayer, and it was urged that the than* should adopt similar mesas. Education; was another Mans of reaching the people, but there were classes in which the children were seat to labour at so early_ as age that they could only be reached through the medium of night schools, which might be conducted by the laity. Some thing, however, ought to be done for the present genera- tion, and in remar kin g on this pert of the gable* Mr. referred to the lames el the " Bible wiMea." li el li ttCsomeedul efforts ofj"lies Marsh, and of Ma. Whitmn, of Shrembury. Minh might also be done by intending the diaconate, se ea te enable 1M ehnreh to meet the wants of the time. With reference to religious brotherhoods and sisterhoods, Mr. Barrington spoke with great reticence, admitting that special training for ministering to the poor and the mirk was a peat ad vantage, but suggerting that in all asses the lay brothers and sisters should be under the direction of the parochial clergyman.—Mr. Dimsdale, MP., thosOt that the duties of the laity and the clergy should be clearly defined, and that they should be kept separable Theo was a great deal Of committee work which they could perform, and much that they could do in the direction and advocacy of reli gious societies, which would release the elegy from such duties end enable them to give their undivided attention to their spiritual functions.—Mr. R. Banbury, M.P., was strongly in favour of a large employment of lay agency, both in visiting and preaching. Laymen mulct not be pre vented from yaeasb ' when they felt the necessity and the duty of • so, and the church should magmas and direct their efforts.—The Rev. H. S. Warleigh also spoke in favour of the employment of lay agency ; and the Rev. R. Parrott, a ritualistic clergyman, contended for attractive services and better sermons. A dismission ensued, inwhick many clergymen and laymen took part, some of them urgil e t f he necessity of employing laymen in visiting and in gi cottage lectures under the dire Mon of the Faro chiel c ergy. Ultimately it was resolved, " That the Lord Bishop be requested to nominate from the three rural deaneries represented here five laymen and five clergymen, to confer with him ea to the best means of l ea sing and extending the good effect of the services of the church among the various classes of society." The Bishop of Rochester said that he felt his hands greatly strengthened by the resolution. Of the propriety of em ploying lay agency in the work of the search he bad not the slightest doubt, for there were numerous Scripture which unquestionably laid upon every man the burden of proclaiming the gospel. There was no doubt that the universities contributed • number of candidates for holy orders, in conseqt el e= the poor emoluments which the church offers, and it was therefore the more necessary that the services of laymen should be obtained to do the church's work. The pro- ceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the bishop. !HE CATTLE PLAGUE AND THE STORE CATTLE TRADE. A memorial, addressed to the Privy Council, and signed by magistrates, landowners, graders, and cattle dealers, to the number of nearly four handred, from the district of Craven, praying for • modification of the merle tions on the trade between England and Sootland, and for permission to bold • store cattle fair on Linton Holm', in the centre of the district was presented • short time ago, and, the reply being unfavourable se to the admission of stock into sGotland, but no allusion being made to the fair, the memorialists derided that one or two gentlemen from the district should wait upon Colonel Harness, 0.8., and press for some modification of the present severe re strictions. In accordance with this, an interview took place yesterday. Mr. Birkbeck, a landowner and large farmer, and secretary to the Linton Cattle Show, stated that the district of Craven to the north and north-west of Skipton and the whole of the bordering county of West moreland had never had one use of cattle plague, includ ing an area of more than 800 square miles ; that it was almost entirely a summer grazing country, and required markets for its stock inthe autumn which must be removed to winter food : that Scotland, which in many districtahad severely suffered from cattle plague, was now allowed mar kets and free intercourse with England, whilst tlaislerge dis trict, which has always been free, was inconvenienced and injured by the Scotch marketebeing entirely closed to it, and public home fairs forbidden. That Ireland also had free trade in cattle, and was now (as a report of the Dalkeith market, in the Yorkshire Post, shows) solely monopolizing the supply of store cattle to Scotland. He, therefore, hoped that some of the existing restrictions would be removed, es it wee manifest they might be without danger. He also alluded to the efforts which had been made by the Scottish Board of Agriculture and others interested in the cattle trade in Scotland, to modify the restrictions of the trade with this district. Colonel Hammen said there would be difficulty in making exemptions in favour of particular districts. Mr. BIRIBECI replied they bad already done so in favour of the county of Northumberland—why not for so large a district, in which, he repeated, cattle plague bad never existed' Colonel Hamm replied the exception had only reference to sheep. On reading over the order he pointed out that fat cattle markets might be held if they were sent afterwards for immediate slaughter; but unless the order was entirely rescinded, it was contrary to its spirit to per mit store cattle markets at present. Mr. BIZZOLCE suggested that • modification only of the order would meet the wishes of the memorialists ; he Gould assure him it pressed the most severely on the middle-class owners of stock, as large owners could now sell on their farms by public auction, but it would not pay for the small tumors to do so, and they cannot combine for that purpoee, being scattered over such an extensive country. Mr. Birkbeck, therefore, suggested that if stop cattle market' were held in counties or petty sessional divisions where there had been no plague for the same number of months as Scotland had been free, and further, to let cattle assemble at such fairs under the restriction of passes, excluding all cattle grazed within ten miles of an infected district, that would meet every requirement, and would be equally just to the United Kingdom. Colonel HARNICOS said the Lord President was still in attendance upon her Majesty in Scotland ; but that there was • strong desire to investigate the severity of these re strictions by the Lords of the Privy Council, if they could with safety—that they had the subject continually under discussion, and he would place the present communications duly before them. Letters in support of the object were presented from the Mayor of Bolton (a gentleman connected with the district). and from Lord Frederick Cavendish, M.P., and Sir Frank Crossley, Bart., M.P., the representatives for this part of 'a county.

SERIOUS Ear Losiorr.—A terrible explosion took place on Tuesday on the premises of Mr. A. Chidlaw, China firework manufacturer, carrying on business in Sherwelrs-yard, Diile-end. At the time of the disaster four young women and a man were at work in the pre paring shop, a building not more than 15 feet long sad 12 feet wide. A portion of the fireworks exploded, when the girls cried out as loud as they could " alp ! help !" Be fore, however, any one had time to enter the place, the remainder of the inflammable contents became ignited, and explosions followed in rapid succession, prostrating the four girls and the man, setting the clothes of each an fire, and blowing out several parts of the building. At length the neighbours and police came in, having been at tracted to the spot by the noise occasioned by the explo sion, and they succeeded in pulling out of the burning premises the five unfortunate persons ; and having extin guished the fire about their clothing, they were found to be so terribly burnt that the surgeon who was called to attend them advised their instant removalto the hospital, which was accordingly done, but hardly any hope can be en tertained of the recovery of either of them. Their names are Isabella Ovelow, Annie Peabody, Slim Hart, Emma Thomas ' and Christopher Kemp. The awn of the aspic.- • awn is not precisely known. The fire was waned to the building in which it commenced. !wry* MORN MUTING& A torchlight meeting in favour of parliamentary reform, and attended by weeds of 69 0 0 _Parma , was held last night, near Bradla Wandsworth-road.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY WORK& A sad accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon in the tunnel at Bradway near Dronfield, of the new Mid land Railway from Sheffield to Chesterfield, one man being killed and four injured. To facilitate the making of the tunnel a somber of thefts have been sank in the Bradway bill ; and the accident occurred in the excavation from No. 3 shaft some 40 or 50 yards from the bottom. At the time of the accident 22 men were at work in this part of the tunnel. For some dis tance this portion of the tunnel bad been driven through the solid rock. The roof was firm, requiring little supports. This tunnel is being arched with bricks to the thickness of two feet six inches, and preparatory to the arching the roof has been supported by beams of timber about seventeen inches in thickness, the beanie being placed lengthwise of the tunnel and borne u the p by strong props at each end. With these precautions tunnel was worked without accident up to Tuesday. A day or two ago the edge of the rock was reached in No. 3 shaft, and as a consequence a treacherous roof of what is called " bind" succeeded to that of stone. The bind bed a rather firm appearance, but, nevertholem, the supporting beams were increased to five, in order to pro vide against accident. Dining Tuesday, Mr. Coombs, the ganger of the men employed in No. 3 shaft, observed that there was considerable pressure on the beams ; indeed, one of them had been slightly "sprung." As the beams were 26 feet long, be wisely decided to support them in the middle. Accordingly he gave interactions for the placing of what is celled among the men a " horse's head"—a strong cross beam of timber, supported by props. This cross beam was being raised to rapport the centre of the long beanie when the accident happened. The long beams proved unequal to the weight of the loose roof, and mapped in the centre, at the very spot where, in a few numeric they would have been firmly supported. The beams snapped so suddenly as to leave little time to get away, and a major of the men bad a narrow escape. fall of "bin d was heavy, amounting to several tons. The occurrence naturally created great alarm among the workmen, whose first impulse was to get as far out of harm's way as possible. Four of their number were struck by the falling mass, some of them being partly covered. Their comrades promptly returned to extricate them, and on the number being counted up, it was found that there was still one missing. lie was found in about an hour under the middle of the fallen mass, and was of course quite dead. His back was apparently broken, and he was bruised from head to foot. His name is Jemee Stevenson ; be is supposed to be about 33 years of age, and he leaves a wife and, four young children.—Shelidd Jude pendent. Tun HACKNEY Woinnougn.—At the' meeting of the Hackney board of guardians yesterday, a letter was read from the l'oor.law Board, enclosing a copy of one addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll, master and matron of the workhouse, requiring them to resign their offices in oonsequenoe of their conduct in refuaing to admit a boy suffering from cholera. The letter to the guardians called attention to the statement made at the recent inquiry, by the master, to the effect that, although the food ti the inmates was very badly cooked, owing to the employment ' of a pauper cook, he bad never reported the matter to the guardians. The eseentan of the Poor.law Bend wee directed to s suggeat the propriety " of the guardians ap poMting suitable persoc. not an inmate, ti set as cook in the workhouse, and that sus* person should be property remunerated for his services. 1 1
