Afterwards, but not watil afterwards, can we turn with tindistractedatter .tion to the debates by the venerable and divisions taking place hard Abbey at Westminster. Nobo':iy will feel inclined to scrutinize very rigidly tte proceedings either in the Lords or in the Commons, while the body of the brave old warrior is reposing unintrgred in the Castle at Walmer—safing alone tl.ose particular proceedings which me.y have referf,nce to the obse quies of ARTHUR the first Duke of WELLINGTON. Nobody, still more confidently may we assert this, would feel for one moment d'lsposed to watch with ordinary vigilance the nightly additions to the re cords of Ballard while the inanimate form of the more doubtable soldier of England is lying in state in the grand hell of Chelsea Hospital. Yet later on in November there will be the immediate period of the public funeral, upon the solemn pomp of which the regard of the whole nation will be concentrated to the temporary oblivion of the interrupted labours of the Legislature. Thereafter we repeat, but not until then, we shall have reached a breathing time, in the course of which we may find leisure to listen attentively to the more momentous discussions taking [dace within the walls of the Imperial Legislature. There is one reflection connected with the approach ing session, eminently calculated to prove in the highest degree satisfactory to the population. Cock fighting, it is true, is illegal—but then there are hap pily still reserved for the enjoyment of her MAJESTY'S lieges the rhetorical contentions and wordy squabbles taking place nightly, at certain seasons of the year in one or other of the illustrious Houses of her MA JESTY'S Parliament. At the particular period at which we have now arrived, we have the delightful prospect of a more than usually varied succession of " sparring matches" between the legislative athletes of the United Kingdom. For one thing—we may rest confident of this, that, each in turn, the principal Ministers of the Crown will find themselves pitted against the ablest debaters of the Opposition. The Earl of DERBY will have a hard time of it, although he is among the category of the Prime Ministers ruling the British Empire, osten sibly through the Lords instead of the Commons. Mr. DISRAELI will, if possible, have a still harder, being required to bear the brunt of the whole on slaught as leader of the popular branch of the Legis lature. The Earl of MALMESBURY, in the Upper House, will have to explain away his concessions at Florence, and to demonstrate that stringent measures were really demanded by the circumstances of the case for the future protection of the British North Ameri can Fisheries. Mr. WALPOLE will be required in his turn to satisfy the conscience of the country that he has been neither inactive nor precipitate in his arrange ments for the reorganization of the Militia. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND will be compelled so far to lay bare the secrets of the Board of Admiralty as to satisfy the community that the old-fashioned habits of indolence has been abandoned in the English dock yards in the presence of the tremendous preparations, in the way of maritime improvements, now making in the French dockyards, as may be readily seen by a glance at the naval doings at Rochefort. Inquiries, no less eager and searching, will, doubtless, be shortly addressed in due course to Sir Joust PARINGTON and Mr. HERRIES, to Lord JOHN MANNERS and to Mr. HENLEY, to the Hon. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD and to Mr. CHRISTOPHER—in short, to every one of the pro minent Members in the DERBY Government. Out of all these investigations we may anticipate, conse quently, not only a large amount of amusement, but a considerable store of instruction, as to the course which has already been pursued, and as to that which is likely to be pursued in the development of the hitherto veiled policy of a hastily constructed, but we trust enlightened, Administration.

It is needless to say that there was the most perfect unanimity, that no difference of opinion disturbed the harmony that should prevail among those assembled for one common object—and that of the most patriotic description—viz., to preserve the rights of the people intact, and to prevent a reimposition of the odious tribute so long paid by " the many" to " the few"— by the over-toiled operative and intelligent artisan to increase the wealth and stimulate the pride of " the territorial aristocracy." ,-----_--- AsTL Ers ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. proprietor and Manager, Mr. W.

The veteran Chairman of " the League," the honest and consistent GEORGE WILSON, took the chair. It was an honour well earned by his former services— and one which we believe will never be withdrawn by a Manchester meeting from the general who led them from their earliest organization, when seven men assembled in a small back room, until the final triumph of the noble cause in which they were engaged. He might indeed refer with pride to his antecedents—the very place of meeting must have excited emotions of no ordinary character, and the reorganisation of the body which sprung into vigorous and matured existence the moment a necessity for its action appeared to manifest itself, 27,0001. being collected within twenty-five minutes, which was subsequently increased within a few days to over 70,0001., proved that.the same spirit still sur vived in the hearts of the survivors of that faithful band. The next post of honour was justly accorded to RICHARD COBDEN, who seldom appeared to greater advantage. It was the subject on which he bad gained his ancient laurels, and he proved himself worthy of his former reputation. Sir WILLIAM CLAY, Lord GODERICII, and Messrs. BRIGHT, KEOGH, BERKELEY, MILNER GIBSON, and CHEETHAM, also spoke earnestly and impressively, and at a late hour the proceedings terminated; proceed ings which will long be remembered, not only in Manchester or in Lancashire, but through out the entire length and breadth of the land, which will strike terror into the Protectionists, if any are yet to be found, and give courage to the advocates for the removal of every existing restriction on the trade and commerce of the country. There has been an unusual dearth of political banquets this season. This fact can easily be ac counted for. The worthy bucolics who were always ready to " eat and drink" for the good of their coun try, and who found a dismal consolation in hearing gloomy tales of the certain ruin awaiting in the first instance all persons engaged in agricultural pursuits, and eventually, the entire community, including those short-sighted individuals who were so unrea sonable as to object to the imposition of a bread-tax, were ditcouraged at the irrevocable abandonment of " Protection" by her MAJESTY'S Ministers, while the leaders—the stars who visited the provinces— astonishing and delighting the rustics by the bril liancy of their oratory, and the uncompromising assertion of the propriety and expediency of a Corn law, had many reasons for avoiding such ga therings. They could no longer affect to,believe in the possibility of a resuscitation of the defunct monster That would scarcely go down with the most credu lous sample of rural simplicity. Nor would it have been very politic for those who either are in actual enjoyment of, or are panting for, a participation in the loaves and fishes. It was, therefore, probable that they might have to "swallow" something more than the viands for the general use ; and that broken or neglected pledges would prove much less palatable than the mighty joints of beef and mutton, the burning tankards of potent ale, or the brandied . sherries or fiery port, set aside the consumption of the sturdy yeomen. Some few had nerve sufficient to meet the disappointed farmers, hut such conduct was the ex ception, and not the rule. And, generally speakin g , the eating and drinking was devot e d t o t h e advance ment of agricultural knowledge, or the improvement of stock. The melancholy fact being, at last, ad mitted, that farmers must look to their own exertions for success, and not to any Legislative miracle that could be performed in their favour. On the other hand, the hurry and bustle consequent on the general election, and the certainty that Parlia ment would meet for the despatch of business early in November, and that, consequently, it would bo a time "not for sayings, but for doings," prevented many assemblages that might otherwise have taken place in honour of Free Trade, and to express the unflinching devotion of the audience to the cause of unrestricted commerce. The men of Manchester were, however, resolved that one demonstration at least should take place worthy of their former fame, and of the spirit and determination that achieved a triumph in the face of dif ficultics that might have appalled the most courageous. What they do in the manufacturing metropolis, they do well. They are not men for half measures, or leaving any doubt as to their inflexible resolution. It was scarcely necessary to kick the unseemly car case that had long since been consigned to an early grave, but so long as any political quack could be found, to express the faintest hope of its revival, it was well to show what he would have to encounter in the despairing efforts. No real danger of such a result was to be anticipated; but there would be mischief in any agitation that might be carried on under the erroneous supposition that the snake was only " scotched, not killed." on any former occa s i on were so many popular p pap' ulrahrrepresentatives assembled at a pro vincial meeting. Men who were not the nominees of an aristocratic portion—but who owed their elec tion to the unpurchased suffrages of independent constituencies, and not to bribery or intimidation. The representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the largest county constituency, was supported by the honourable gentleman the member fur Glasgow, the representative for the largest borough constituency in the United Kingdom. A host of worthy toad. jutors were in attendance. Mr. _MILNER GIBSON, who might be regarded as the leader of the move ment for the repeal of the taxes on knor.sledge was supported by the lion. H. F. BERKELEY, the tried clrisi:,tent and efficient champion of " protection to the humble voter in the exercise of his most sacred duty by means of the ballot." Many members from the sister-isle proved that notwithstanding the absence of manufactures in Ireland, and the assertion that it was a purely agricultural country, the Irish people ware P. till faithful to the cause of Free Trade, and that the 54L8 3 efficient support may be anticipated TFIE _SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1852.

Another evening, and we shall have the short-hand writers again hard at work in the galleries at West minster. Several days must, of course, elapse be fore the Ministers will find themselves enabled " to buckle to" in earnest—the House of Commons hav ing to pass through the preliminary labour of inaugu ration. After the swearing in of the Members, there will come the election of the Mr. SPEAKER—the candidate for that high office being, ns is now gene rally understood, tho Right Hon. CHABLIS SUAW LEEBYRE, as the candidate of the Opposition, and one whose character renders him not unacceptable as the candidate of the Government. Whether the dis tinguished ex• Speaker, the representative of North Hampshire, will resume his position as the first Com moner of Eagland, or whether he will be required to give place to the Right Hon. the ATTORNEY GENERAL, the member for Stamforl, and thereupon retire into the illustrious privacy of the peerage — rewarded by the coronet he has earned in three suc cessive Parliaments—are matters which will now in the course of a few hours he definitively decided by the LegislaXure. The circular recently issued by Mr. MACKENZIE would appear, it is true, to indicate that the re-election of Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE will be unop posed by the nomination of Sir FREDERICK TMESIGER as the Ministerial candidate. Thereupon will follow the series of what we may call funeral orations to be pronounced by the more distinguished Members in both Houses of Parliament over the memory of the late Duke of WELLINGTON. Through these intro ductory labours of the short session now on the eve of commencement, the Cabinet will have to struggle manfully in the hope of at last setting themselves in some way or other, to a certain extent, right with the nation, either before the last few days of November, or the first few days of Dt.cember.

This was an application for an injunction to restrain an action at law to compel the defendants to fill up a certain void or channel for water which had been exca vated for the purpose of procuring an additional supply to a certain mill built upon ground leased by the defen dants of the plaintiff. Mr. Malingo, Q.C., appeared for the appellants, and Mr Russell, Q.C., for the respondent. It appeared that, upwards of fifty years ago, a piece of land was granted on lease by the plaintiff to the defen dants, with the understood arrangement that certain works were to be erected upon it, but for which there was no especial covenant. There was a covenant, how ever, that the defendants should have a right to form a wa`ercourso from the river Mersey to their grounds. The mill was erected and the watercourse made, a period of two years bAng allowed for its excavation, and for a series of years answered its purpose. The advancement of science had provided other and more efficient agents for working the mill, and the action had been laid to compel the defendants to fill up the watercourse. llis L')rdship ruled that sufficient time had been granted to the defendants to form their watercourse how and in what way they thought proper. Such being the cue, the plaintiff was not to be damaged by the con duct of the defendants. He should therefore refuse the injunction, but granted a month to replace the soil that had been removed. QITEEN'S BENCH. TUE DUEL AT EGRAM. Mr. M. Chambers moved for a writ of habeas oorpus to bring up before the Court Etienne Barronnet and Edmond Allain, in order that they might be admitted to bail, and also to bring up the depositions taken against them before the magistrates and the coroner for Surrey, they having been committed to take their trial at the next assizes for murder. The charge originated in a duel, and these two gentlemen had acted as the friends of Frederic Cournet, formerly a French naval officer, who unfortunately lost his life in the contest. From the depositions, it appeared that on the 19th of October, be tween twelve and one o'clock, two or three persons, who happened to be in some fields at Priest-hill, Egham, were attracted by the report of a pistol. Among them was a medical gentleman, named Hayward, who was then re turning from a visit to a patient. Soon after the report was heard, a French gentleman made his appearance, who afterwards turned out to bo Allain, and begged Mr. Hayward to accompany him to a neighbouring field' where he said a friend of his had been wounded by a pistol shot. On going to the spot, Mr. Hayward saw M. Cournet on the ground, supported by M. Barronnet, who was endeavouring to staunch a wound in the cheat. By the direction of Mr. Hayward, who saw that the injury was mortal, the unfortunate individual was removed to a neighbouring public-house. Here Allain remained nearly an hour, and then departed for London to obtain the assistance of a French physician. Mr. Barronnet remained by the side of his friend until 6 o'clock, when he expired. Information having been instantly given to the police, three French gentlemen wore traced to the railway station at Windsor. The telegraph was at once put to work, and they were apprehended on arriving at the Waterloo station. These persons were M. Allain, M. Barthelemy, and M. Mornay. It appeared on further investigation that on the previous evening M. Allain and two other French gentlemen went to the shooting gallery in Leicester-square, and hired a pair of pistols, which were delivered to him in a foul state, having been used before that day. A very erroneous but fearful impres sion had been made in regard to some supposed unfair ness in the duel, owing to the appearance which one of the pistols presented on being examined after the event. This was, however, clearly explained by the evidence of a witness, who stated that he saw M. Allain and an other Frenchman, clean the pistols with a linen rag, and on finding that the touch-hole was all right by blowing through the barrel, fold them up in a piece of brown paper, and seal the outside. The party who delivered the pistols to Allain at the shooting gallery, was called before the magistrates, and he said that on the evening of the duel, a foreigner, with whom he was unacquainted, returned the two pistols to him, and received back the deposit, and that one of them was still loaded, and could not possibly have gone cff, as there was a piece of linen rag underneath the powder, near the end of the touch hole. That, of course, led to a frightful inference as to the nature of the duel, but the evidence adduced by the other witness, clearly explained how the linen got there He had thought it right to mention these few facts, as otherwise the offence of the prisoners would seem to be of a far more serious description, and because his clients wished to be cleared from the imputation that they were not men of high principle and honour. Lord Campbell—Those gentlemen, I understand, ask to be admitted to bail, because this was what is called a fair duel. Mr. Chambers—Precisely so. Lord Campbell.—This is the first time the Court has been called upon to interfere on such a ground. Mr. Chambers said he thought he should ho able to show that the impress on entertained by his lordship might be erroneous. Lord Campbell.—Do you mean to contend that if a duel is fair it is not murder by the law of England? Mr. Chambers did not mean to say that, but there were mitigating circumstances, which at any rate might render the offence a bailable ono. In the present case the defendants in the spirit of frankness and candour, and actuated by high honor, readily admittel before the magistrates that they were concerned in the duel, but pleaded ignorance of the English law, and said that they had done every thing in their power to settle the differ ences of the antagonists almost up to the moment the duel took place, but without success. The Learned Counsel then read the affidavits of Allain and Barronnet, to chew that they were persons of irre proachable character and good station in their own country, and had only engaged in the duel believing that they were compelled to do so by the principles of honor which were observed in France. He thought it was not too much to ask that these two foreigners should be saved for six months prior to their trial, when it was recol lected that some of tho most distinguished persons in England had fought duels, sometimes with fatal results, and yet escaped any kind of punishment. Lord Campbell said, he was clearly of opinion that no sufficient ground had been shown to justify the Court interfering to admit these persons to bail. They were placed exactly in the position of British-born subjects, and justice would be administered to them with the same fairness as if they were in the position of the most exalted individuals in the realm. Ho was firmly con vinced that if a person of the highest eminence was found guilty of murder by a jury, he being accessory to a duel which caused death, and admitted his participa tion, no tribunal of the country would liberate him before trial. The Court could not look on this case otherwise than as a capital charge ; and if the confession which the learned counsel had alluded to were given in evidence at the trial, sentence of death would necessarily have to be pronounced, and all mercy then rested with the Crown. Tho prisoners must, therefore, remain in custody until the assizes. They would, however, have a fair trial, and were entitled to have a jury, if they liked, composed equally of foreigners and Englishmen. Application refused. VICE •CIIANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.) DVINTOEH V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY courssr, His Honour, who at at Lincoln's-inn, was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing the objections of the plaintiff to an answer put in by the defendants, stating their inability to produce a statement of certain accounts respecting the formation of a covered way, and other works, completed near Ealing, as long eg o as t h e year 1837. Mr. Daniel, Q.C., with Mr. Hetherington, appeared for Mr. Wlntosh, and Mr. Stephen's for the Company. The cause has been several times before the Court, and arose out of a breach of contract to complete the works ; the Company alleging, through their en gineer, Mr. Brunel, that they were not liable, in conse quence of the non-completion of the contract ; and the plaintff asserting, that in consequence of the Company requiring that the plans and drawings for the works, which it was originally arranged should be furnished in November, 1837, be put in to the engineer first in Sep tember, and afterwards in August of that year, he was placed i❑ a position which rendered it impossible for him to complete the contract within the required time. His Honour overruled the objection that the answer was incomplete, and a number of objections was then put in to the original bill. THE SIX-MILE-BRIDGE AFFRAY. Yesterday in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, the attorney- General obtained a conditional order to quash the verdict of the coroner's inquest connected with the affray at th e Si x -Mile-Bridge. The Term grand jury have found a true bill against the proprietor of the Anglo-C e lt news p a p e r, for a libel on the 3lst Regiment respecting the affray at Six- Mile-Bridge. TOE ROYAL ACADEMY.—On Monday, the Ist instant, ageneral assembly of the academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Trafalgar-square, when Air. irederiek Goodall waa duly elected an abaociate of that in institutiok. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, amount ed to 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on speculation. The market closed heavily, and American declined id for those kinds under 6d per lb. All other kinds were steady. The sales included 3500 bales of American, 400 Penam and Maranham, at 6fd to 7d; 400 Egyptian, at 6d to Bd, and 600 Surat, at 41d to 511. Railway shares opened buoy antly, but closed flatly. The state of the Silk Trade is thus reported on by Mr. Henry W. Eaton : " The deliveries, &c., still indicate a large consump- tion and proportionably moderate stocks, more especially of silk in first hands. The effect of these sales has bee❑ on the whole satisfactory, not only as resulting in the sale of at least 1,500 bales of Chinese silk to the trade at the reduced prices, and 500 bales of Bengal at former quotations, but also in putting buyers in possession of the. intentions of importers to meet them to a reasonable extent. To this impression of a more steady market may, I think, be attributed the decidedly improved feeling evinced last week, and the further sale of about 500 bales of China at corresponding rates, say, No. 1, 191. ; 2,18 s.; 3,17 s. ; and Taysaatna from 14s. GI to 155." The London Produce Mark9ts are described by Messrs. W. 11. Jewesbury & Co. in the following terms : "The improvement in the Foreign and Colonial Pro- duce Markets noticed in our last has continued during the past month, which has been one of great activity for all the leading articles; the demand both for export and home use continues very large, and added to this, there is a sufficient speculative demand to cause prices to be well sustained. Importers have supplied the markets freely, but are firm in demanding full rates, and in some instances they are holding for higher prices. The con tinued large deliveries are now telling upon the stocks, which have been for so long a time in excess of previous years. Dyes have been brought forward freely during the past month, and have mostly found purchasers at current rates. Indigo has been in increased demand during the last few days at higher rates. The advance required by the holders of Cochineal prevents business at present. Lac Dye commands previous rates, and there is more inquiry for Dyewoods at higher prices. From the Continental Markets the reports notice a good inquiry for produce generally, and in many instances at advanced rates." To-day the sales by auction in Mincing-lane are not numerous, but the principle staples rule firm. For Bills of Exchange on Hambro', Trieste, and other places, rather lower rates were accepted yester day afternoon. A fusion is proposed, it is said, for all the railways in France, so as to form two great companies only ; the North and the Orleans. The constituted shares of the Orleans are not yet delivered. Holders and dealers are very sanguine of a rise, owing to the large traffic, but at Paris enormous rates of interest are paid by speculators in shares ; as much as 100 per cent. in some instances. There is much steadiness in the market for public securities, in the absence of large dealings. Consols l haverealised 100 k to for Transfer and Account. The New Three-and-a- - Quarter Per Cents are 1031 to Y, and the Three per Cents are 99i to 4. Bank Stock is firm at 223 k to 2244. South Sea Stock, is 1114. Exchequer Bills have been 75s premium. Foreign investments have been without any marked change. The following letter has been re ceived upon the subject of the Turkish Loan Paris, Oct. 30,1852. Messrs. C. Devaux and Co. Gentlemen,—l think it my duty to continue to forward you the communications which I receive from the Bank of Con stantinople touching the Loan. By their letter of the 15th inst., which I received this morning via Marseilles, the Directors of the Bank of Con stantinople inform me, that, up to that date, they had received from the Ottoman Government no new official communication beyond that of F.

MACAULAY IN EDINBURGH.—Mr. Afacaulay yes terday addressed the electors of Edinburgh for the first time since his election in July last. He received a warm and enthusiastic reception from a very crowded meeting. In alluding to the changes which had taken place in the politics! world since he was last in Parlia ment, he paid an eloquent and affecting tribute to the memory of the late Duke of Wellington, Mr. C. Buller, and Sir Robert Peel, without the last of whom, he said, he should not know the House of Commons again. He referred to the revolutions and counter-revolutions which had taken place on the Continent, and attributed the tranquillity of this country to the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832, and the adoption of free trade in 1846. He declared his intention to defend the latter from both direct and indirect attacks, and to help to extend the former in a free and liberal spirit, though he would in no ease whatever again bo a member of any Government. fie also dwelt with mingled humour and severity on the inconsiit , mcy of Mr Walpol©, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, and Lord Maidstone. The speech, which contained many fine passages, occupied norrly an hour in the delivery. UNCLE WALTER : A NOVEL. By Mrs. Trollops. 3 vole.— slrs. Trollopo's style—vigorous, brilliant, thought ful, and original—may be easily recognized in this work. The novel is admirably constructed, and exceedingly en tertaining. In the dramatic arrangement of the incidents, in the infusion of elegant humour into the dialogue, in the formation of the characters, and in their endowment with motives and sentiments appropriate to the purpose which the author has had in view ; and finally, in the animat ing of the whole with a style varying with the colour of the narrative, the author has displayed a degree of skill and ingenuity which assures her more . than ever in her position as one of the ablest fiction writers of the d ay.— Morning Post.

Uncle Torn's Cabin, first dramatized at the Olympic, is now all the rage. The Victoria management is clear ing, it is said, 1501. a-week by the production of its version ; and en Monday the Surrey, earlier even than the Adolphi in the field, brought out an excellent edition, which was stamped with the thunderous applause of a densely crowded house. George Harris, the runa way slave, is played by Mr. Creswick, and with a cha racteristic colouring that takes him out of the common place of melodrame. He is represented as a creature of common sense, and even of talent, and as one able to adapt himself to the situations into which he is thrown ; and his various melodramatic situations are rendered real by the truth and earnestness of Mr. Creswick's man ner. The part of his wife was played by Miss Clara Wynne, much to the delight of the audience. Uncle Tom was exceedingly cleverly played by Mr. Widdi comb, and his mixture of pathos and buffoonery, when singing his joyous songs, under the influence of the lash, was rendered with great skill and effect. Haley, the Slave-dealer, was represented by Mr. Elmore with a power of lungs that a boatswain might envy ; although he was almost outrivalled in energy by Mr. J. Davis, as the Kentucky Drover. The Legree of Mr. T. Mead was, however, a great relief to these coarse delineations, and his truthful and artistic rendering of the tyrannous planter, gave flavour and vigour to the piece. His cha racterization was firm, close, and affective, and awoke a truer notion and a sterner hatred of the horrors of the slavery system than all the melodramatic spouting with which the other characters are too much imbued. The Topsy of Miss Lebatt elicited applause. Considerable attention has been paid to the scenery and costume, and a great variety of set scenes, including some very effective ones, such as the floating blocks of ice on the Ohio, and a wild pass and distant view of the boundaries of Canada and the United States, attest the care which the management have bestowed on their version of this justly-popular production. MASTERS IN CHANCERY.—Yesterday Mater in Chancery Tinney issued the following notice to the pro fession On and atter Thursday, the 4th of Noyamber, the Masters' list wi;l daily be as follows—at 11 o'clock, consent and short matters ; at 12 o'clock, long causes for the remainder of the day, except on Monday and Tuesday, when, in lieu of long causes at 12 o'clock, joint-stock ccm p anies' winding-up matters will be taken." METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—A spe cial court of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers was held yesterday at the office in Greek-street. The court was attended by R. Jebb, Ef:q. (chairman), Sir Charles Fel lowes, Lieut.-General Sir John Burgoyne, Capt. Vital, Mr. G. Baker, Mr. T. Gibson, Mr. G. Sidney Smith, Mr. 11. Hunt, Mr. T. Hawes, and Mr. W. Hosking. The court sat four nearly four hours, but with the exception of the ordering of 1886 feet of sewer, 3ft. 9in. by 2 ft. 6 in., in the Holloway-road, at a cost of 1,3501., the proceedings were entirely devoid of public interest. THE LAMBETH SEWERI —Yegerdly, pursuant to appointment, the deputation appointed by public vestry to bring under the consideration of Government the inefficient state of the drainage, and the neglect by the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers of the exigencies of the entire parish of Lambeth in that respect, waited upon Mr. Secretary Wal pole at the Home-office. Mr. Secretary Walpole remembered Lord Ebriugtoa applN ing to the Treasury for an advance of 300,000 on security of the rates. He (Mr. Secretary Wal pole) had declined doing that, under the belief that it was better to leave the Commissioners to negotiate such a loan with private individuals. He wanted to know what really had been done with respect to the Lambeth drainage ? Mr. Churchwarden Taylor replied that there had been executed six miles of brick sewers, and less than twelve miles of pipe sewerage, though the parish had no less than sixty-two miles of roads, open streets, and alleys. The sixpenny rate, now in the course of collection, would produce nearly 12,000/. in the parish of Lambeth. It was right he should mention that from Kennington-gate to Clapham, and from the same point to Brixton-rise, there was not a single sewer, although the rates were collected and enforced; the consequence was that property was deteriorated in value, and the health of the neighbourhood greatly jeopardized. Mr. Walpole said he would rather not give any opinion at present upon the point of improving the constitution of the commission; but he thought that if the deputation would have the goodness to make an application to the present commission, showing the immediate necessity for the expenditure in the parish of the rate now under collection, he would back that appli cation with his recommendation. The deputation then withdrew. SCHOOL FOB. THE INDIGENT BLlND.—Yesterday the annual election of candidates to this charity was held at the London Tavern; Robert Tupps, Esq., in the chair. The vacancies to be filled were 9 in number, viz., 3 for females, and 6 for males. For these vacancies there were tl5 applicants. The institution affords a sound moral and religious instruction to its eleres, and teaches them some trade for their future subistence. The annual ordinary expense amounts to about 8,0001., towards which the industry of the inmates secures somewhat about 1,0001. A MAD BULL IN LAMBETE.—The parish of Lam beth was on Monday evening the scene of a number of fearful accidents, occasioned by an infuriated bullock, which unfor tunately, was attended with loss of life. The beast made its way through several streets, knoching down a number of persons, and tossing a man who resides in East-strret (who is eerioeely, and it is feared fatally, injured), when it d. shed into Saville-place. Here Mr. Reeves, of 34, Walnut-tree walk, was passigg, and the instant the beast obtained a view of him, he ran after him and kn oc k e d hi m down with such force that he immediately became insensible. Several per sons rushed to his aid, and carried the unfortunate gentleman to a surgeon's who attended upon him, and advised his instant removal to his own resident. He was forthwith tagen home and three or four medical men were promptly in attendance, but he survived only two hours. The bullock, after inflicting this fatal injury, started into Lambeth-walk, where it did much mischief, but sudderly perceiving some persons down Fountain-court, it rushed after them ; they, however, happily retreated into some of the houses, and thereby escaped. Tito animal then attempted to return, but a cart belonging to Messrs. Pickford coming up at the time, the ve hi cle was was placed at the end of the passage, and the bull was by that means made prisoner. A butcher living in the walk was obtained, who succeeded in slaying the animal. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WEST INDIA DOCKS. —Yesterday evening, Mr. W. Baker, the coron er , h eld an from a Poplar, barge be to slipped, one oof the inquest at the Queen's Head Tavern, High-str ee t, P oplar, on the body of Edward Sk inner, a g ed 39 y ears. The deceased was a deal porter, and OR Saturday af ternoon last, while he was in the act of carrying warehouses in the West I fell backwards into the water , and in his descen t the piece of timber struck him violently on the head. Th e medical a di p a l D an o k ck fr s o , gentleman was of opinion that he must have expired before lie fell into the water. A number of w i t n esses were culled ; after which the jury returned a verdic t o f "Accidental. death." TUB FATAL FIRE AT BATTERSEA.—Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Duchess of York , Batter sea-fields, on ;he body of Sarah Gerrard, aged 54, who perished :at the fire which occurred on Sunday last in the premises of the Patent Fire Annihilator Company, Battersea. death was accidental. The jury, after a long investigation, found that deceased's DARING GAROTTE ROBBERIES IN LIVERPOOL.— At the Liverpool police court yesterday two young but ruf fianly-looking fellows—James Thomas and John Batty, were charged with being concerned in a garotte robbery . on the previous evening in Br ec k- roa d, E ver tou. The victim is Mr. William Brown, a young man in the office of Messrs. W. and J. Brocklebank, merchants, who was going homeward along the Breck-road, shortly after six o'clock on the eve ning in question, when three men attacked him, one putting his arm round his neck from behind, and nearly strangling him. Batty then came up, rifled Mr. Brown's pockets of 30/ , while Thomas abstracted his watch and chain. Though in great pain, Mr. Brrown struck one of his assailants in the face, and the whole three, after a short consultation, ran away. Information was given to the police, and the two prisoners were soon afterwards arrested. They were fully identified by Mr. Brown, and committed.
