Yesterday the City Commissioners of Sewers held their usual weekly meeting at Guildhall ; Mr. De Jersey occupied the chair. The business consisted of rescinding standing orders, and of their appointing a committee for general purposes, an improvement committee, a streets committee, a sanitary committee, and a finance committee. Dr. Letheby read his reports, from which it ap peared that 256 houses had been inspected during the week, and that 58 of these required sanitary improvements in various particulars. He submitted certificates relative to the indecent and overcrowded state of certain houses in Blyth's-buildings, Bishops gate-street, and elsewhere, which he recommended should be proceeded against in order to have them registered as common lodging-houses. He reported that several vessels had been inspected during the week, the forecastles of which required sanitary improvement. In all these cases the necessary im provements had been effected ; but in some others the vessels left the port before the next visit of the inspectors. At the markets and slaughter-houses 1,1231b5. of bad meat had been condemned during the week, consisting of 5 sheep, 7 pigs, and three quarters of beef. Of this quantity, 9431b5. were diseased, 301bs. were putrid, and the rest consisted of animals which had died from natural causes. On Thursday, Sept. 27, Thomas Norris, a butcher, of William-street, Lisson-grove ; Win. Hunt, a far mer, of Barking, and Henry Cole, farmer, of West Hoddingfield, near Chelmsford, were convicted be fore Alderman Abbiss for having exposed unsound and unwholesome meat in the City markets as fit for human food, and were fined from 50s. to £lO and costs ; and on Oct. 1, Wm. Stevenson, a butcher, of Leicester, before Alderman Stone, was fined £lO and costs for having sent unwholesome meat to New gate market as human food. Lastly, Dr. Letheby reported that during the past week there were 38 births and 31 deaths registered in the City of Lon don, and that the mortality returns were below the average (44) of the corresponding period of the last ten years. Ten of these deaths were among children of less than 5 years of age, and four among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis, 4 ; hydrocephalus, 1 ; pneu monia, 4 ; bronchitis, 3 ; alvine flux, 10 ; and scarlet fever, 1. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 2.—There has been some busi ness in yarns at the advance necessitated by the rise in cotton, but manufacturers have had a very unsatisfactory market for cloth. In yarns the de scriptions for shipping have followed the upward course of prices with more readiness, and there was a good deal of business to-day at an advance of Id. to lid. per lb. above last Tuesday's prices. The demand for some quarters was rather considerable, and prices continued to strengthen. In home trade yarns business was rather restricted by the large advance required by sellers, which was something like id. per lb. upon the rates of last Tuesday. The ad vance being caused by a rise in the raw material, in stead of through an increased demand for yarns, is perplexing both to the buyers and sellers, and in terferes with business. Sellers of cloth have of course been obliged to advance their quotations, but have failed to obtain prices adequate to cover the increased cost of yarn and cotton. Buyers are exceedingly cautious, and though a moderate busi ness has been effected, there is no inducement for manufacturers to take orders or continue produc tion at the present highly unremunerative rates. The quotations of sellers arc to a great extent nomi nal. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : " Since Tuesday last the upward course of the Liverpool market has resulted in advanced quota tions here, and a somewhat improved" demand has led to increased business, but still at very unre munerative prices. To-day's American telegraphic advices have again stimulated the cotton market, but the advanced quotations thus necessitated for goods meet with no response from buyers, and we close with a small business." CARDIFF, Ist.—The proprietors of steam coal col lieries are well supplied with orders, and the works continue actively employed. The output is about an average, and considerable quantities are being cleared out daily at the port for the foreign markets. There is every prospect of a good winter's trade, and freights have an upward tendency. The inland demand for Welsh steam is very satisfactory, and proves the increased estimation in which it is held. In the house coal trade there is slight improvement in the local consumption, and increased quantities are shipped on coasting account. As regards the iron trade orders are coming in rather more freely, and business generally is characterised with more animation. The decision of the preliminary meet ing of ironmasters to abide by the old list prices, and the reduction of the Bank rate to 4i per cent., will doubtless cause home buyers, whose circumstances will permit them, to place many of the contracts they have in hand, several of which are known to be of a pressing nature. Although the foreign demand has been as yet comparatively quiet, the tone of the inquiries from America and the con tinent are indicative that business is likely to become much more active than it has hitherto been. Most of the contracts for delivery this season on North American and Baltic accounts are completed, and orders from those quarters for spring delivery are looked for. There is no change to report in the de mand for pig iron. Tin plates are in improved re quest, and while quotations rule firm future pros pects are encouraging. LEEDS, 2d. —The woollen-cloth trade, as far as to-day's public markets are concerned, shows quiet ness. The stocks, however, in the halls are within a moderate compass. The sale of tweeds keeps ac tive, and more would have been sold to-day in the market had they been offered. The country clothi ers are well employed, and their prospects for the remainder of the year are hopeful. Wools are firm in price, and a steady business is doing. The flax trade keeps quiet, and the prices arc rather unsettled. Those for yarns and threads are about the same as last week. NOTTINGHAM, 2d.—Owing to the goose tatr holi days commencing to-day there was a very small attendance on Exchange this morning, and the busi ness done in lace yarns was limited. Prices were quite as high as last week. Hosiery yarns were held for an advance of is. per bundle on last Tuesday's rates. In silks no alteration. Brown nets quiet at previous rates. ROCHDALE, Ist.—The purchase of heavy flannels is only slack, and the trade is less. The merchants were in but.small attendance to-day, and they pur chased carefully. As for some time past, they acted most freely with fancy flannels and printers, a fair aggregate amount of which changed hands. York shire goods maintain the same position we have lately noted, there being a quiet trade in them at late prices. The local wool trade is steady as to prices, but sales are not large, manufacturers buying more for immediate than for prospective wants. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WENSUM VALLEY. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on. Saturday, at the offices, Westminster chambers, Victoria-street—Mr. W. B. Greenfield in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that no effective progress had been made in regard to the construction of the line. That, however, was a cir cumstance over which the board had no control, and arose almost altogether from the unsettled state of affairs at the Great Eastern Board. This was the more to be regretted, inasmuch as had the line been intrusted to a new company in preference to the Great Eastern it was probable the works would have been long since completed. Indeed the line had been originally supported by independent parties—by the landowners and other persons of influence in the neighbourhood—but finally it had been taken up the Great Eastern Company, who stipulated to contribute one-third of the capital, to work the line at 50 per cent., and to concede through booking from Lynn to Norwich, to be reciprocated on the part of the Wensum Valley proprietors, who were to allow through-booking arrangements from March to Lincoln. This agreement has been sche duled in the act of incorporation, which contained a clause empowering the Great Eastern Company to subscribe one-third of the capital. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, adverted to the main features in the agree ment between the Wensum Valley Company and the Great Eastern. There was no doubt that the Great Eastern Company had become alive to to the advantages which the opening of the Wensum Val ley line would confer upon their undertaking. That being the case, the question might be asked, why they did not carry out their agreement so as to lead to the active prosecution of the works ? That was a question which admitted of an easy and imme diate reply. The fact was that the Great Eastern was at the present moment in want of the necessary funds to expend on the construction of their metro politan extensions, from which it was but reasonable to expect they would derive a considerable profit. When they were unable to find funds for the con struction of works that were likely to be remunera tive, it was not to be expected that they would raise the money which, under the Act of Parliament, they were to subscribe to the Wensum Valley under taking. The report was unanimously adopted, and the proceedings terminated. SAFFRON WALDEN. At the half-yearly meeting o f this c ompany it was stated that the gross earni n g s during thepat P six months of a portion of the line at present in ope ration had been £1,058. 'The line worked at present only extended from Audley End to Saffron Walden ; but Captain Rich, the Government Inspector, had p as sed over the extens ion to Bartlow, and it appeared w as satisfied with th e works. It was expected that traffic would be commenced to Bartlow before the close of the month. LONDON, B RIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.' The Tunbridge-wells line of this company was opened for passenger traffic on :Monday. The line extended from Three Bridges St Aion to Tunbridge wells, a distance of 20 miles, including the East Grinstead line, about six miles in _length. Through trains now run between the following stations : Tunbridge-wells, Three Bridges, Brighton, Worth ing, Horsham, Guildford, Littlelsampton, Bognor, Chichester, and Portsmouth. There are seven stations between Three Bridges and Tunbridge wells—viz., Rowfant, Grange-road, East Grinstead, Forest-row, Hartfield, Withyham, Groombridge, and Tunbridge-wells. There are six trains each way between London and Tunbridge-wells daily, and two each way on Sunday. CALLANDER AND ORAN. The half-yearly general meeting was held in Glas gow on Friday ; Mr. J. Malcolm, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the directors had let one contract for the construction of 171 miles of line from Callander, and Mr. Mackay, the contractor, would commence the works immediately. The plans had been prepared for another contract,which would be let when they found it advisable to do so. It might appear to some that they were going on but slowly, but, in fact, they were making good solid progress. He trusted the shareholders would support the efforts of the directors; the more funds they had in hand, the faster the works would go2.m. Theretiriug directors audaudit6rs were re-elected, and the proceedings terminated. CROFTHEAD AND KIL - IEARNOCK EXTENSION. The third ordinary general meeting of this com pany was held in Glasgow on Saturday ; Mr. Towers in the chair. The report stated that the bill authorising the company to form junctions with the Kilmarnock Direct Railway at Stewarton and Kilmarnock, and to make the necessary deviations required for that purpose, received the Royal Assent on the 28th of June last. The works on the main line were being pushed on by the contractor, who had been put in possession of nearly all the laud required for the main line, and a number of land settlements had been completed. The engineer reported that the works on the main line, between Crofthead and Stewarton, were progressing in a satisfactory man ner. The Beith Branch was staked out, and, if commenced in spring, might be completed simul taneously with the main line. The CHAIRMAN said that the main line was being proceeded with as rapidly as possible. The Beith Branch was also in course of being executed, and he had no doubt that the main line and branch would be opened at the specified time. The report was adopted, and the meeting separated. Naval and Military Intelli;ence. The summer military season at Chatham was brought to a termination yesterday with a review of the whole of the forces quartered in the dist r i c t by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Field- Marshal Commanding-in-Chief. The force on the ground comprised the B field battery, 4th Brigade Royal Artillery, numbering five officers, 105 non-commissioned officers and men, 72 horses, and six Armstrong field guns, with ammunition waggons, &c., complete ; the corps of Royal Engi neers, consisting of 30 officers and 710 non-commis sioned officers and men ; the Ist, 2d, and 3d Depot Battalions of Infantry, numbering 80 officers and 1,200 men of all ranks, and comprising the depots of the Ist and 2d battalions of the Ist -Royals, Ist and 2d battalions of the 15th Regiment, 2d battalion of the 17th Regiment, 50th Queer's Own Regiment, 109th Bombay Infantry, Ist and 2d battalions of the 2d Royals, Ist and 2d battalion of the Bth Re giment, 29th Regiment, 30th Regiment, 106th Bombay Light Infantry, Ist and 2d Battalion 10th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions- 224 Regiment, - 2d Battalion of the 14th Regiment, 34th Regiment, and 45th Regiment, and the Chatham division of Royal Marines Light Infantry, consisting of 30 officers and 520 non-commissioned officers and men, the whole under the command of Major-Gen. Sir R. Walpole, and Staff. Riding slowly along the front and rear of the columns, his Royal High ness made a minute inspection of the several corps, after which he took up his station at the saluting , flagstaff, and the whole of the troops marched past. A number of field movements of a more or less com plicated character followed, the object appearing to be to test the character of the training the officers and men have gone through since the occasion of the last inspection of the troops at Chatham by his Royal Highness. A series of interesting manoeuvres having been gone through the columns again formed in line, with theßoyal Artillery on the right and the Royal Marines on the left ; after which the com manding officers were called i to the front, and ad dressed by his Royal Highness, who criticised the manner in which some of the corps had acquitted themselves, at the same time expressing himself in generally satisfactory terms at the way in which most of the movements had been executed. His Royal Highness then proceeded to the newly formed mili tary hospital at Brompton, over which he was conducted by the officials of the establishment. After inspecting the various portions of the estab lishment, the general parade-ground at Chatham barracks was visited, on which were drawn up up wards of 500 recruits belonging to the various East India and other depots in garrison. A considerable time was occupied by his Royal Highness in the in spection of this body of troops, in the course of which considerable dissatisfaction was expressed by him with the quality of the clothing served out to the men, which, taking into account the compara tively brief period it has been in wear, appeared to be of an inferior description. The Duke proceeded to the Royal Engineer, field-works, Brompton, for the purpose of inspecting the works executed by the officers and sappers during the past summer. The depot of the 100th Regiment of Foot (the Royal Canadians) will arrive in Liverpool from Col chester, and embark on board the Canadian mail steamer Belgian, Capt. Brown, which sails from Liverpool on Thursday (to-morrow) for Quebec. The depot consists of 3 officers and 125 non-com missioned officers and men. They will be accom panied by a sergeant and 6 privates of the Military Hospital Staff Corps. In the Belgian there will be taken out an officer's wife and child of the 100th, together with two soldiers' wives and 4 children.

The ceremony was accompanied by the firing a salute of nine guns. The War Department vessel Inkerman, Mr. John Yesterday Mr. Corbett, the Poor -law Board's Commission er, held an official inquiry at the above workhouse at Lower Homerton, with respect to the conduct of the officials in re fusing admission to an out-door cholera patio/IL The case was brought to public notice in the report of a coroner's in quest published in The Sun not long since upon a child named Nichols. The depositions taken at the inquest' were read over to the witnesses on Monday, and the further exa mination proceeded yesterday in the presence of many of the guardians, who were professionally represented by Mr. Metcalfe, the master and matron being represented by Mr. Daniel, and Mr. East attending for Dr. Millar, the medical officer of the workhouse. Though the evidence taken was most voluminous, the simple facts of the case may be very briefly stated. Tho child whose death was the subject of inquiry was brought to the workhouse on his father's back, with an order from the, district surgeon say ing, "Please admit James Nichols, or send him to the Ger man Hospital immediately." The child was refused adinis-. sion to the workhouse, and was sent to the German Hos pital, where he died, and the circumstances related in evidence before the coroner justified the jury in considering that death had been accelerated by the refusal of the maSter to admit the boy to the workhouse. The manner in which the child was refused admission, as told by the matron of the workhouse, who is the wife of the master, gives the clue to the whole case. She stated that the child was brought in under the gateway of the workhouse, and Mr. Oxley, a gentleman associated with Dr. Millar, but appa rently having no legal standing in the house, asked what was to be:done with the child. She replied that the master was going to send him to the German Hospital, ,to which Mr. Oxley rejoined, " The child shall not go ; he (the mas ter) is not medical officer." She believed it was about this that 'le told Mr. Oxley that the master had always had charge of the wards. Mr. Oxley then went away and returned in a few minutes with Mr. Summers the legally appointed deputy of Dr. Millar, and he asked what was going to be done with the child, and she told him what she had told Mr. Oxley, that it was going to be sent to the German Hospital. All this time the plague-stricken child was sitting in the gateway. Mr. Summers went into the lodge and brought out what she supposed was a written order for the child to be admitted to the workhouse, and said, "Read that." She took it from him and laid it on a form by her side, saying the master would read it, and she' then said to a pauper, "Go down and tell the master I want him at once." When he came she gave him the order, and he read it ; but he sent the child to the Gorman Hospital. In answer to further questions, she said she believed she used the word "officious" to Mr. Oxley, say ing that ho was too officious, but she did not say, as Mr. Oxley asserted she did, that 5f it had not been for his offi ciousness the child would have been admitted. The ex amination then turned upon alleged obstructions which had been thrown in the way of the medical officer and nurses by the matron, by her neglectingto supply stores, or delaying to supply necessities. She was always willing to supply anything in reason. She distinctly denied the truth of assertions made by witnesses that necessities had not been supplied when asked for, but she allowed that on one occasion when Dr. Millar had asked for the assistance of some women in the iron house, the then cholera ward, she, after having had a sort of dispute with him on the point, offered the position to two old paupers, who refused to go. She told Dr. Millar this, and he told her she must get somebody— she must hire somebody from out of the house, and this she looked upon as unreasonable. In her further evidence she allowed that there had been "difficulties" with the medical officer before Dr. Millar's time, but she maintained that she had worked altogether harmoniously with this gentleman. She allowed she had had words with Mr. Oxley, and she admitted, somewhat excitedly, that the spirits for the patients had been taken from her charge and given to the charge of the medical officer, denying, however, that this was done because the spirits had been found diluted with water. The reasons assigned by the master for refusing admission to the child were four-fold—first, that the guardians had passed a "negative resolution" by refusing to allow wards to be opened for out-door cholera patients ; second, that the Poor Law Board had issued a circular letter stating that it was inexpedient to admit such cases ; the third, that the cholera had broken out among the children in the house; and the fourth was that he was under the impression that ho was justified, from cir cumstances brought to his knowledge, in sending the case to the German Hospital. After the examination of the matron a long conversation ensued, from which it was apparent that there was not only a want of hannony be tween the medical officer and the master and matron, but that the guardians were much divided. So far indeed was this division shown, that the Commissioner was obliged to request the guardians to keep certain amenities until the next Board meeting. He said he had evidence sufficient, and should doss the inquiry, and the proceed ings accordingly concluded. Honours for the Layers of th 3 Atlantic Cable. The following is the letter of the Earl of Derby, o f which we gave a summary in our report of the Atlantic cable banquet in yesterday's impression : BALMORAL, Sept. 29. "Dear Si r Stafford,—As I underst an d you are to havo the honour of taking the chair at the entertainment which is to bo given on Monday next in Livetpool, to celebrate the double success which has attended the great undertak ing of laying the cable of 1866, and recovering that of 1865, by which the two continents of Europe and America are happily connected, I am commanded by the Queen to make known to you, and through you to thoso over whom you are to preside, the deep interest with which her Majesty has regarded the progress of this noble work, and to tender her Majesty's congratulations to all of those whose energy ar.d perseverance, whose skill and science have triumphed over all difficulties, and accomplished a success alike hon ourable to themselves and to their country, and beneficial to the world at large.
