11~R="' LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 25. (Before Mr. Cornmmissioner HOLROID.) • BAO2I.IIVPIICT OF ABRAHAM BEERY CHAMBERS, THE ELDER. The siiiies in this case to - day was fo r a declaration o f f a rthve dividend under the separate estate of the lumkrapt, who, it will be remembered, was the se nior partner in the firm of Chambers and Son, whose failure raguy years ago gate rise to such serious liti- N ation. On the proceedings commencing, Mr. EsPIN, for the assignees, stated to his Honour that the trustees of Mrs. Chambers proposed to prove in respect of a contingent annuity, which it was con tended was chargeable against the separate estate of the bankrupt arising out of a settlement of property to the extent of 10,0001., made by him upon his wife. The amount of the annuity was 300/. per annum, and the trustees sought to establish their claim under the $lll of George IV., chap. 16, sec. 56, the words of w hich ran thus That if any bankrupt shall before the issuing of the commission have contracted any debt payable upon a contingency which shall not have happened before the issuing of such commission, the person ith whom such debt has been contracted may, if he think fit, apply to the commissioners to set a value upon such debt, and the commissioners are hereby required to ascertain the value thereof, and to admit such person to prove the amount so ascertained, and to receive dividends thereon; or if such value shall not be se ascertained before the contingenc shall have happened, then such pe rson may, after su c h con tingency shall have happened, prove in respect of such debt and receive dividend ith the other credi tors_, not disturbing any formerw dividends, provided such person had not, when such debt was contracted, notice of any act of bankruptcy by such bankrupt committed." The assignees in bringing the matter under the notice of the Court wished to d irect the attention of the Commissioner to three cases which bore upon the q uestion at issue . The first was "Ex parte Mar shall" (1 Montague and Ayrton), the others were " Ex parte Vanhetheysen" (2 Montague an d Ayrton), and " Ex parte Broadley" (2 Montague and De Gex). Another matter to which the assignees also begged attention was the circumstance of 23,4001. having been paid out of the estate, in order to bring about a se ttlement of the dispute with Mr. Chambers. Of that sum 7,0001. was set apart for the separate use of Mrs. Chambers, and was properly made over to her. Ten thousand pounds, it was arranged, should go in liquidation of law costs ; but as the bills were taxed down to a low amount, the greater part of that amount, with the remaining 6,0001., had passed to the bankrupt himself. Now the queston was, taking an equitable view of the case, whether the Court would permit the proof to be made, and suffer the estate to be encumbered with a charge resulting from the peovisien for this contingent annuity, considering the fact of the settlement of the 7,0001. and the moneys received by Mr. Chambers. HETIERDEN, for the trustees, argued in favour of the validity of the proof. The cases cited on the other side supported the view he wished to establish ; ouly one other he would add—that of " Ex parte Tindal" (Bth of Bingham's Reports), which he re garded as quite conclusive on the point. After quoting the particulars of the decision in the last mentioned case, and opinions on the law of contingent rema inders, he said he was perfectly willing to leave the question in the hands of his Honour. Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD, having referred to the various authorities, decided that the prouf should be Omitted, as the case seemed quite to agree with that of " Ex parte Tindal." Mr. Esrize again urged on the Court the double ad vantage which would be derived by the claimant ; first, from the settlement of 7,0001., and, secondly, from this proof. Mr. Commissioner HOLROTD said, it was true that Ms. Chambers would derive additional benefit from this proof, but as no stipulation was made in the other settlement against this contingent annuity, he could only deal with the question as he found it. It transpired in the course of further discussion that the proof would stand for about 1,0001., as that amount was the average of the valuation of the an- Ettity calculated by three of the first metropolitan actuaries. A further dividend was then declared, the amount of which will-be announced in a few days ; according to general estimate it may reach 45., and in that case would, with the first one declared, constitute a present distribution under the separate estate of Mr. Cham bers, sen., of 9i. 6d. in the pound. It was publicly announced at the close of the meet ing that this was not a final dividend. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF GEORGE ROLIGIEMONT. The bankrupt, who traded under the firm of Rougemont, Brothers, came up to pass his last exa talination. Tke only matter worthy of notice during the meet ing was a proof tendered on behalf of Prince Met ternich, whose agent the bankrupt was for the sale of Johannisberg wines in this country. The affidavit of proof, which was from a third party and was for an alleged debt of 1991., was deemed insufficient, and the proof was for the present disallowed. The official assignee (Mr. Graham) said, the ac counts and books of the house of Rougemont had been kept in the most regular and satisfactory. man nor, and that he had no opposition to offer. The bankrupt at once passed his last examination. Our reporter is authorised to state that the estate will ultimately realise a dividend of about 14s. or 15s. in the pound, and that a dividend of about ss. will be paid in the course of a few days, • THE GENERAL. MARITIME ASSURANCE COMPANY. J. Maclean Lee, of Cornhill, described as an under writer and a director and shareholder in the General Maritime Assurance Company, was declared a bank- rupt to-day on his own petition. The case will be taken into Mr. Commissioner Holroyd's court, Messrs Lawrence and Plews being the solictors, and Mr. Groom the official assignee. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 25 (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE ZACHARIAII SMITH. In this case the insolvent, formerly a licensed victualler, was heard some months since, when he was remanded at the suit of a creditor for six months, on account of damages recovered in an action for breach of promise of marriage. At the expiration of the period of remand the insolvent was arrested again st the suit of the former attorney, whose claim for costs had been in the schedule. An application to a lodge was made for a release, but it was decided that at; the insolvent had not pleaded his ditcharge the judgment formed a new debt and the arrest was good. The insolvent accordingly filed a new petition, and was to hare been heard today, hut on the case being called on it was announced that the insolvent declined to appear, and the order for hearing was dismissed. An application for the appointment of an assignee a few days since was made, and on that occasion it was stated that a freehold estate, purcha.ed by the insolvent in Cheshire for 5001., had been discovered, as also some property worth 501. in the hands of another party, which had been seized by the sheriff of Chester. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Doad CL ERKE IV WELL. James - dge was charged with having plun dered his employers, ri- Messrs. Hammond, ironmongers, of Old- street. The prisoner had been in the service of the firm for upwards of twelve years, and, in consequence of considerable property missed from the stock, and the prisoner livig beinga state of splendour far above his means, he was suspected ; when it was ar ranged that two half. should be marked, and handed to a Mrs. Blackwell,ig" pur chases in the shop.

The -prisoner said he had re cuived the money found upon him from his lodgers, and he always carried it about him. On going to iit house it was fitted up in a costly style, and only ithabited by himself, his wife. and three children, and in an iron safe 1371. in gold and silver, seven gold rings, four gold guard chains, a si i ver bonds, and chain, and other articles of jewellery, three Spanish the lease of a house, were found ; and in various other parts of the house a quantity of brass and other goods similar to those in the stock of the prosecutor were found ; also bread and coal tickets , w hich Mr. Bammond, sen., who is a guardian of the poor, claimed and identified. 'The evidence having been taken down fully Mr. CoMux said he would commit the prisoner to i take his trial at, the Mr. Humphreys then applied ie for a restitution to the prisoner of the money bonds ntindin his together with the Spanish possession, and the lease of his house, for which he had given 260 'Air.

Yesterday seven healthy-looking young women, named Catherine Lennard, Elizabeth Sullivan, Mary Gould, Emma Reid, Caroline Wood, Sarah Foster, and Catherine Cronan, inmates of Bermondsey Workhouse, were brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with creating a riot, and threatening to mur der the master. One of the porters of the workhouse stated that the prisoners had been brought up from their infancy in that place. They had been placed in different situations, but, so violent was their conduct, that no person would keep them. They were, in fact, a com plete terror to all the inmates , a nd everything has been done by the guardians to reform them. On Sunday morning they refused to attend divine ser vice, and during its performance they sang obscene songs old infirm paupersandusedsuch horrible in h te next langu ward. ag A eas to frighten the the service, the chaplain conversed with them, but they treated him in a disgusting manner, which led the officers to place them under restraint. That morning [ they were released, and in passing the lobby they bloke 250 panes of glass. I'r hen remonstrated with, three of them took from under their garments open knives, and, flourishing them over their heads, threatened to rip up the master's belly or murder any person who dared to attack them. Fortunately a police constable was on the spot, and with his assist ance they were all secured, and the knives taken from the three ringleaders. The prisoners here exclaimed, in a riotous manner, " Yes, we will rip the master's belly open, if we get hung for it—he is a tyrant, and ought to be mur dered." Mr. COTTINGIIAM asked the porter whether any meeting of the guardians had been held since the dis graceful conduct on Sunday ? The porter replied in the negative. Mr. COTTINGIUM remarked that it was useless for them to bring such incorrigible characters before him for punishment. Nothing that he could inflict would be of any service to them. Prisoners—We would sooner be in prison than in a workhouse. Police-constable 210 M was called, and informed the magistrate that, when he entered the workhouse he found the prisoners in a menacing attitude, and that three of them had knives in their hands, with which they threatened to stab the master or any other person who interfered. It was with great difficulty that he wrested the weapons from their grasp and secured them. Mr. CorrnsanAat informed the porter of the work house that it was a case of too serious a nature for him to dispose of. He was in possession of no power sufficient to restrain their violence, and, if something was not done, he really believed they would in their furious frenzy commit a serious act. It was abso lutely necessary that they should be severely dealt with, as what could be more shocking than to see strong, hearty-looking young girls like these, living on the bounty of the public, and arming themselves with knives to attack their protectors? It was consequently necessary that they should be sent to a higher tribunal, where they would receive such punishment as would render them sensible of their disgraceful behaviour. He (the worthy magistrate) directed the porter to inform the guardians of his determination, and request them to attend before him to-morrow, as he should remand the prisoners for such attendance.

SUGAR.-To day there was increased firmness in the Raw Sugar market, and a falling off in the supply of all kinds was observable. The home trade appeared anxious to increase their stocks, whilst exporters were inclined to do business, and a rise in the value of all sorts took place. West India of all qualitiess was in excellent request by refiners, and the grocers were anxious to operate, but business was interfered with by the chief part of the Sugar on show not being suited for their purposes. Prices, as compared with those of Friday, exhibit an advance of 6d to is per cwt, and it is difficult to purchase dry brown under 35s 6d. Supplies of all sorts are much re duced. The sales amount to 420 hhds, &c., including 123 hhds, 4 tres of Barbadoes, which went briskly at a rise on former quotations of 6tl per cwt, fine yellow fetched 44s to 455, good 42s 6d to 43s 63, good middling 41s 64 to 425, middling 40s to 41s, and low 39s to 39s 6:1 per cwt. The market for Raw Sugar closes with much firmness. REFINED.-To day Refined goods were much sought after by the home trade, and stiffer rates were offered, but few parcels could be obtained. Prices closed firmly at 55s to 55s 6:1 for standard, and at 54s 6d for brown grocery lumps. Bonded Crushed Sugar is unaltered in value, bur the market is dull. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon Mauritius Sugar of all kinds was in excellent request privately, and 2,996 bags at public sale were sold at an advance of is per cwt; good yellow fetched 405 to 41s, middling 38s 61 to 39s 61, low 36s 6d, middling brown 325, low 29s 6d to 30s, washed 28s 6d to 395, syrupy 36s to 38s, sugar drainage damaged 31s to 39s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the public sales of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 1,085 bags and 168 chests went off briskly at 61 per cwt. advance-good soft yel low but dingy fetehed 40s 6d to 41s, middling 35s 64 to 365, low 34s 64 ; Benares, fine sound white 47s to 47s 6d, good 44s to 45s 6d, middling 42s to 435, damaged white 40s to 445, yellow 343 to 355. Of Ceylon 109 casks sold at improved rates, and went at 36s for mid dling yellow. Privately large parcels of Bengal and Madras Sugar were disposed of. FOREIGN.-To-day there was no public sale of any kind of foreign Sugar, but privately sales to a fair ex tent were made, and rather higher rates paid. The market has a firm appearance, and supplies are on the decrease. MOLASSES -The dulness in the market for West India Molasses has increased, all kinds having been dealt in with much caution ; and there is a plen tiful supply. The value of West India is 15s to 17s, according to quality. In Bengal Treacle there is still nothing doing, and prices are nominal, whilst there is a fair supply. Honey is offered upois rather lower terms. CuFraE.-This afternoon Native Ceylon met with a more active demand, and 706 bags at auction were all disposed of at full market prices and in some cases rather above. Plantation was in excellent request, and at public sale 58 casks, 578 bags were sold at stiffer prices, good coloury fetched 605., good middling 58s, middling 50s to 535, low middling 47s to 48s 6d, fine fine ordinary, 43s to 465, fine greyish ordinary 38s to 41s6d, good ordinary 35s 6d, ordinary 33, pea berry 545. da maged 26s to 475, and triage 26s to 29s per cwt. Of Mocha 90 bales, and 64 bags were nearly all taken in, yellow long berry at 90s, a few lots sold, good yellow, not long bean at 57s to 57s 6d, middling greenish 521, broken 40s, and damaged 7s 61 to 39s per cwt. The market for Foreign Coffee had a tranquil appearance, and the supply was larger. At auction 322 bags, 162 barrels, 20 trs of Brazil were taken in at the full value. TEA.-There is firmness on the part of the holders of all descriptions, and the supply is on the decrease, whilst the home trade are desirous to get supplied. The rates obtained for Black are fully equal to those of this day week, and from the town and country trade a good demand has been experienced. In Green extensive purchases have been made in all kinds, and previous improved rates are well sus tained ; indeed in some cases rather more money has been obtained for middling sorts. For Pekoe Teas the demand is on the increase, and prices continue to improve, while the supply is on the decrease. The public sales of 7,200 pkgs went off briskly; the large proportion of 6,000 finding buyers at fully previous quotations. To-day full rates were insisted upon, but there was not much passing in Black or Green. Ricsa-To-day there was little passing privately in East India Rice, and of 2,985 bags of Madras at public sale a part only found buyers at rather lower rates good pinky white went at les ta 103 64. good middling 9s 6d, fine pearl Barley 9s 64 to 10s, and damaged 3s 6d to 9s per cwt. The chief portion of the sound white was taken in at 103 per cwt. Cocoa.-This afternoon the quantity of Brazil offered at public sale amounted to 1,177 bags, and the whole was taken in at 375 to 38s for good grey, and at '36s for middling, being above the value, but two lots of fine red Bahia were sold at 37s per cwt. SPIRITS.-There is still a desire on the part of the home trade to get supplied with all kinds of Jamaica Rum, and exporters have been purchasers to a fair extent. Hollers manifest more firmness, and less freely supply the market, whilst an advance in prices of Id to 2d per gallon has occurred. The sales are 250 puns since our last report ; 33 to 35 per cent over proof of plain quality at 3s 8d to 3s 94 ; 36 to 38 over better quality 3s 94 to 3s 10d, and small parcels of fine 4s to 4s 6d. Demerara has been in good request, and prices are firmer; 200 puns having been sold. East India is in much better request, and prices assumed an upward tendency, Leeward Island is held with firmness, and the sales are 200 puns at is 7d to is sa proof strength; there are large buyers rather under these rates. Havannah is yet little required; still holders will not accept former rates. Geneva has been sold to a fair extent et 2s 7d to 2s 8d for shipping sort, and at 3s to 3s 64 for fine, fit for duty. For British made Spirits ale demand is more active, and prices are firmer. The deliveries of Brandy continue upon a large scale, and holders have confidence. A good demand has been experienced. To day Rum was in good request, and stiffer rates were obtained. SPICES.-For Cloves the demand is brisker, and prices are well sustained. 411 bags of Bourbon at auction were all sold. Privately, Penang has been disposed of at Is 3d to is 10d, and Ambovna 9d to Is. Cassia Lignea is little required, and prices tend down wards, although the supply is small. Of Cassia Buds, 6 chests at auction were taken in at 100 s. Cinnamon is little required, and the ten dency of prices is downwards. The quantity declared for public sale is 720 bales of Ceylon. Ginger is little required. Pepper met with attention privately, and 2,643 bags at auction went d higher. Pimento sells more freely. Of Mace 6 cases Penang were mostly taken in at 2s 8d for good middling, and at 2s 4d for low mid ding. 12 cases Bencoolen Cloves, fine is 9d to is 104, good is 7d, ordinary is 2d. The market is quiet for Nutmegs. SALTPETRE.--The business concluded by private treaty has been of little moment by exporters or the home trade, and previous rates are with difficulty sup ported. The value of Calcutta for home consumption is 80s to 32s according to quality. The rates asked for British refined are still 35s ed to 36s per cwt, but the amount of business concluded has been of little moment. For Nitrate of Soda there is a much better demand, ' prices have advanced from 14s to 14$ 6d. OILS.-The arrivals of Fish Oils have been small since this day we: k, whereas the deliveries continuo - satisfactory. On the part of holders there is firmness, es. and they supply the market sparingly, but the demand is not so good. In consequence of the small stock of Southern holders require 291 to 321 for good to fine _ quality, and 261 to 281 for low and middling, but the ixe sales made are of little moment. The market is quiet for Seal-pale a small supply, others plentiful. Cod is only in moderate request at 241 15s to 251 per ton. Sperm is held with firmness, and at 811 to 831 purchases to a fair extent have been made in good and fine quality. Prices are not higher for Linseed Oil, but the home trade have been lurga purchasers, and sales to a fair extent were made by exporters, whilst the :eel supply is lees pl-ntiful. The rates paid on the spot at 23s 6d to 23s 94 per cwt. For forward de livery several sales were conludi dat 24s to 24s 33. Rapeseed Oil is in good request, and prices are firmer, whilst the supply continues small. Olive is in good request, still there is no improvement to notice in the value, although the deliveries are st ill exceedi ug I id the arrivals. In Palm a good business has been concluded. Cocoa Nut is yet little required, and prices tend downwards. TALLOW.-To-day there was less activity in the Tallow market, and prices are not so firm, fine P.Y. Candle on the spot selling at - 47s 3d to 47s 6d. Tll6 LOST AVENGER. — One or two circumstances relating to the unfortunate Avenger have come to our notice, which, for their interesting nature and the testi mony which they bear to the manly character of her officers, deserve to be made known. Shortly before the Avenger left Lisbon to proceed to the Mefiterranean, a boy fel overboard, and as he was unable to swim and was evidently sinking, Lieutenant Marryat humanely plunged into the water, with the hope of saving him. On 4r. Marryat reaching the water, the boy clasped him rouni the neck with bo'h arms, and so completely paralysed his exertions, that Lieutenant Marryat was compelled to call out for assistance. Upon this the first lieutenant (Hugh Kinsman) threw himself - overboard, and succeeded in bringing his brother officer and the boy safely alongside the ship.

What injustice will not men, even honourable men, per petrate, when in committee ; admitting no personal responsibility even to themselves! " Corporations have no bowels," says the old saw; and certainly a committee has no conscience. But at the same time this history would show even a greater amount of ignorance—ig norance of art, ignorance of the cost of its acquirement, ignorance of the actual position, responsibilities, and duties of architects. It is this which has led to more injustice and evil than want of integrity has. An architect's time is nothing ; a design, a pretty drawing, such as people make for their own amusement, of course; nothing else. Disregard by committees of conditions imposed by themselves is of constant occurrence, with out thought of the injustice to individuals which results. —Builder. A PRESIINTIMENT VERIFIED.—Mrs. Thomas, who, on Friday last, was committed to prison for two months, by Mr. Henry, in default of payment of a fine of 201. for giving a fictitious character to a servant, expired suddenly, at the Tuthill-fields Prison, at about eight o'clock yesterday morning. This is rendered remark able by the fact that, wle n taken in custody, she said it would be the death of her" if s he were sent to prison. Aa inquest will shortly be held on the body.

Yesterday the Commissioners assembled in their chamber in the Guildhall; Deputy Peacock in the chair. The REMEMBRANCEIt reported to the Court that the standing orders of the House of Commons with relation to the new Bill for the sanitary improvement of the City had been complied with, and a few days after th,• meeting of Parliament the Sheriffs would be prepared to take it down to the House. It was then determined to place the Bill under the care of Mr. Mattison and Mr. Masterman, the working Members for the city of London. THE PRICE OF GAS IN THE CITY. Mr. flaw, the chief clerk, read the following letter, which had been sent by a number of the inba hitants of Bishopsgate Ward to Deputy Peacock, the Chairman of the Commissioners of Sewers. It was listened to with much interest, as the subject has for some time occupied the attention of the citizens : " TO W. A. PEACOCK, Mi. " Bishopsgate Ward, Jan. 17. " Sir,—The undersigned have seen a paragraph in the newspapers, stating that the Court of Sewers had appointed a committee to inquire into and report upon the price of gas paid by the citizens of London, with a view to obtain a reduction in the rate charged, and have subsequently learned that the city gas com panies, taking the alarm, have determined on reduc ing their charge to 6s. per thousand feet. " It will, no doubt, be within your recollection, that some of us presented a memorial to the Court of Sewers, signed by 260 inhabitants, gas consumers, of the ward, at the latter end of the year 1846, at which time we made the same complaint to the Court as that you are yourself now reported to have made I (viz., that the company now supplying us at 7s. are elsewhere charging 65.), and you are aware the answer we then received to our complaint was by no means such as we considered we were entitled to at their hands. " It is, therefore, with much pleasure we now re cognise, and congratulate you on the fact, that you have shown yourself amenable to the wishes of your constituents, and exhibited a willingness to take up their cause by bringing this matter before the Court of Sewers, and we trust that you will not fail to urge and obtain a thorough investigation of the matter, when we firmly believe it can only be by the failure of that Court to do its duty if an arrangement is not effected much more advantageous to the citizens of London than that now proposed by the gas companies; which offer at such a moment we cannot look upon otherwise than as an attempt on their part to hood wink the independent members of the Court of Sewers, and stifle inquiry by giring up an instalment of the overcharge. " Under these circumstances, pending any public demonstration on the part of the ward, we have thought it right at once, as fully as possible, to put you in possession of our views (which we believe to represent the universal feeling of the ward), in order that, as our representative, you may be in a position to support our interests, and in the belief that in the position you hold, by virtue of that representation (as Chairman of the Court of Sewers), you possess and can fairly exercise great power for the benefit of your fellow-citizens in this matter. " The considerations we offer to your notice are as follows : " Gas being an article of necessity to every trades man for the conduct of his business, it becomes him and is his duty to obtain it as he would any other marketable commodity of that party is ho will provide him on the best terms, he taking fair advanta ge o f all circumstances in his favour. " The advantage of supplying any district with gas is greatly in favour of one in which the lights are numerous on a given length of main, and against another in which the lights are remote from each other; as in the former there will be less capital sunk in pipes, less escape, less pressure required, and less incidental repairs and restorations with reference to the amount of revenue therefrom. The city of London is the most densely lighted district in the metropolis, there being in the city of London one light to every three feet of iron main, while in no other of the metropolitan districts is there more than one in every five feet, and in others the proportion will be one in fifteen. " The city of London is known and acknowledged to be the best paying district in the metropolis, the amounts collected being larger and snore promptly paid than elsewhere, and the defaulters less nu merous. " Notwithstanding these circumstances in their favour, the citizens of London have been paying more for their gas than the inhabitants of most other districts in the metropolis. The cause of this state of things, it is clear to us, and must be to you, is, thst while: other districts are accessible to competition, the city of London has been permitted to be parcelled out by the two companies that supply it, so that by an amicable understanding between them, they have been end-led to exact as much as they pleased or thought prudent to demand from the private consumers; and they have done this with im punity from the knowledge that the Commissioners of Sewers have uniformly refused to admit another company in competition, until it has been so gene rally understood by those who might have availed themselves of the permission that they have ceased to make application for the purpose. " The pleas of the Commissioners of Sewers for this state of things have been, that competition would cause a further disturbance of the already too much distubred pavement of the city ; and that, as com panies must be remunerated, the investment of so much additional capital by another company would require, ultimately, a heavier tax on the citizens to that end, While we are willing to give these con• siderations their due weight, we must claim for our selves, that they are only operative when, on a full and fair investigation of the circumstances, it can be shown that the citizens of London are required to pay only such a rate as will offer a sufficient inducement, under fair circumstances of competition, for any company to desire the supply. " Making use of the best information at our com mand, we are led to believe that the city of London, isolated from all other districts, offers advantages for a supply of gas fully equal or superior to those of any town in the kingdom ; it being our firm persua sion that the peculiar advantages we have mentioned nearly, if not quite, outbalance even any of a local nature with reference to the raw material of manu facture. " We have been credibly informed that the supply of such a district, apart from others of a less profitable nature, may be afforded at as low a rate as 4s. per thousand feet, and we feel confident that if not at that exact amount, it may be at one more nearly approximating to it than to the present or even the proposed charge of gas companies. " To avail ourselves of such advantages it is not necessary the streets should be disturbed by competi• tion for the individual supply. It may be perhaps somewhat stepping out of our way to direct your attention to the means; but we cannot refrain from adverting to the plan by Ns hich the private supply may be taken into the hands of the Commissioners themselves, by means of possessing their own pipes, and contracting with any of the companies for the supply of gas ; the pipes already in the streets would be available for that purpose; as, if it were known they (the Commissioners) had decided on such ar rangement, it is nut likely the present owners would refuse to accept a fair price for them, but prefer the alternative of their being rendered useless, and there fore valueless. The full benefit of competition would thus he obtained, and your fellow-citizens would no longer be mocked by a pretended contract for the street lights, or a one-sided bargain for a paltry re• duction of ls. per 1,000 feet of their own consump• tion, when they had become .too clamorous to be longer denied. " Having thus, as we consider, shown you that our interest, or, in other words, the common interest of your constituents and fellow-citizens, requires that all the circumstanc es connected with the : supply of gas to the city of London should undergo a thorough in and believing that by a different, and as vestigation, we think a proper arrangement, we should be greatly relieved in a serious item of business expenditure, we respectfully, but urgently request, and trust we may rely on your efficient exertions in order to effect so desirable au end. And we pledge ourselves, should the Commissioners of Sewers not at once obtain for us far more favourable terms than those now pro posed by the companies, to use every means within our power, by public meeting or otherwise, indepen• dent of them (the Commissioners) to effect the aboli tion of the monopoly." Upon the motion of Mr. HARRISON the letter was referred to the Committee of General Purposes. The CHAIRMAN informed the meeting that the Chartered Gas Company had reduced the price of gas from 7s. to C. per 1,000 cubic feet. The meeting then ajourned, after having received intimations of the active exertions of the contractors for cleansing the streets. THE HOME AND COLONIAL I NFANT SCDOOLS.— The Marquis of Lansdowne has sent a donation of 301. to the. Home and Colonial School Society in aid of their fund to enable them to meet the Government grant. We read in the Courrier Francois:—" A French Protestant, who kept at flonfleur a small reading room for English sailors, died one day last week without friends or relations, and in a state of almost abject povety. The usual declaration of his death was made by a r neighbour to the Commissary of Police, with a request that he would order his interment at the public expense. The Commissary, however, declined interfer ing, because the fraternity who took charge of these charitable offices were by their statutes confined to Catholics, and recommended an application to the English Protestants. The neighbour thereupon went to the English Consul, but he replied that as the deceased was a Frenchman he could not interfere. The neighbour was obliged to return again to the Commissary, who, at last, ordered the body to be carried to its last abode by common porters." LATE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT DUNDRY. ASHTON, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—+The investigation by the county justices, the Rev. H. Morehouse, W. G. Langton, and J. Shorland, Esqs., touching the murder of Mr. Walsinghaffe Hazel!, at Dundry, under circumstances of a most mysterious character, were resumed this day, at eleven o'clock. The two nephews, Benjamin and John Haze and Jobs Hall, were again present in custody. The room was crowded by spectators, anxious to be present at the proceedings. Mr. John Sherland, surgeon, of Rattichouse, near Dundry, deposed that he was called up on Thursday morning last to examine the Lody of the deceased, which he found lying on the ground, near the dry well, from which it had been pulled. On examining it he discovered a very extensive blow over the left eye. It was a contused wound, and such as might have been inflicted with an instrument like tle6 bludgeon produced. There were various ether wounds on the head and fraetares of the bones of the skull, ex tending half-way round it. The wounds could not all have been produced by any fall—they were sufficient to cause death. Witness thought it probable that the deceased was first struck over the ear by some one from behind, and that being felled by the blow, the other wounds were inflicted afterwards. The face of the deceased was covered with blood, and uttering to the blood were some hay seeds and hay motes, similar to which witness afterwards observed lying under the manger in the stable. Witness afterwards examined the stable and hayloft, in company with Mr. Dow ling, a surgeon, and his servant man. Witness and Mr. Dowling examined the loft without discovering anything suspicious, but as they were descending again the servant man called attention to forty or fifty spots of blood on the right-hand wall of the stable, near to the door. Some time afterwards witness was led to look under the manger of the stable, and he there found a brick lying in a pool of blood, and the stones of the wall, for about four. inches above the ground, covered with blood. There were also quantities of hayseed and motes there, similar to what were on the face of deceased. Should not think that one man could have carried the de ceased from the stable to the well without dragging him along the ground. Did not discover any marks of blood from the stable to the well. When he first saw the deceased his clothes were drawn upwards towards the top of his body, as if he had been dragged by persons holding him under the arms. Benjamin Vowles, a farm servant, and the sister of the deceased and of the prisoners, were examined, bu,t their testimony threw but little light on the myste rious affair. It was stated that the prisoners assisted in searching for the deceased, and the only fact being, in the slightest degree against them was, that of James Hazell having kept the stable keys in his pocket on Monday night, instead of hanging them up on a . nail, as usual. The magistrates sat till it late hour, and the exami nation was then adjourned. WRECK of HER MAJESTY'S BRIG SNAKE. The overland mail brings us the following particu lars of the loss of this vessel. Our Bombay corres-, pondent says—Accounts have been received here of the loss of her Majesty's brig Snake, Commander Brown, on Santiago's Reef, near Mozambique, on the night of the 29th of August. The crew were all saved, and had been conveyed to the Mauritius by, the French brig of war Voltigeur. The Cerneen of the 3d of November gives the following account of the disaster :—" The Voltigeur, cruising on the eastern coast of Africa, arrived at Mozambique on the 7th of September last, and found the Snake ashore . on a reef near Mocambo, ten miles south of the island of Mozambique. It learned from the crew that was encamped on the shore that the Snake had been wrecked on the 29th of August The French captain hastened to offer to Mr. Brown, the Com mander of the Snake, his assistance in saving the materiel of his ship, and a passage for his men. Only the leiter offer was accepted. By the 14th of September they had succeded in taking from the vessel almost all she contained, except the two large,. guns. A Portuguese ship, the Progresso, was chartered to convey to the Cape of Good Hope all the things saved, and part of the officers and crew, consisting of the sick. The proximity of the Portuguese settlement was very favourable to the security of the shipwrecked, who would otherwise have inevitably been harrassed and plundered by the barbarous hordes inhabiting that coast. As the bad season was coming on, it was necessary to quit those latitudes. The Voltigeur, which since the 7th of September had made an ex cursion to , Pomba-bay, having returned, took on board 76 men, among whom were Captain Brown and six officers, some casks of water which had become ne cessary from this increase of men, and set sail for the Mauritius on the sth of October. The Progress() was to leave Mozambique four days later. The Com mander of the Snake and his officers having arrived safe and sound at Mauritius, would not allow the brave sailors of the Voltigeur to return to Bourbon, where they are expected, before having received a striking mark of their gratitude and esteem. They gave them on the following day a splendid dinner at the Hotel d'Europe, at which, in warm-hearted toasts, they took pleasure in expressing to the French sea men the noblest and most affectionate feelings. Fralnk and cordial replies on the part of the officers of the Voltigeur to their comrades of the Snake gave to this brotherly festival a touching eharacter of heartiness and deep sympathy. On Monday morning the Vol tigeur continued her voyage to Bourbon, taking with her the agreeable recollection of her new fniends, and regret at being so soon separated from them.
