They thought it judicious to test their machinery and the taste of the public before undert .king a double labour.

Court of Common Council. A Court of Common Council was holden yesterday, at which the Lord Mayor presided. THE SEWAGE QUESTION. The LORD MAYOR informed the Court that he had rece'ved another letter from Baron Liebig upon the subject of the uti lisation of sewage, which had been printed and circulated. THE TRAFFIC OF THE METROPOLIS. The REMEMBILANCER (Mr. Corrie) reported to the Court that a bill had been introduced into Parliament the object of which was to facilitate the traffic in the city of London, and proposing to purchase and throw open the whole of the metropolitan toll bridges with that object. A bill had also been introduced for the purpose of giving an equity juris diction to the county courts, but which at present did not propose to apply to the city of London. The formerbill was referred to the Bridge House Estates, and the latter to the Law and Parliamentary Committee. THE GAS QUESTION IN THE CITY. Mr. MEDwiri said that he had a question to ask in refer ence to a subject of very considerable importance. He saw by the papers that proceedings had been taken by the Com missioners of Sewers against one of the City gas companies for not supplying gas of proper purity, and 'that after the matter had been investigated by Sir John Musgrove upon two occasions, he expressed himself incompetent to adju dicate on the matter by reason of his being a member of the Commission of Sewers, by whom the proceedings had been instituted. The effect of this appeared to him to be prac tically, that the city of London had no magistrate compe tent to decide upon this important matter, and the result must be, either that a stipendiary magistrate would bo ap pointed, or that the aldermen should take some steps to place themselves in a different position, so that they might bo able to give the citizens that redress which they so much required in this important question. Ho did not see the chairman of the Commission of Sewers in the court, but he should like to be informed by some other members of that commission whether they were aware of what took place at Guildhall, and what steps they intended to take in the matter. Mr. CHArux, who bad been appealed to by the hon. member, said that all he could state was, that the Commis sioners of Sewage were perfectly well aware what had taken place, and the subject was now under consideration by a committee. Deputy .Tolas also informed the Court that the subject was at once taken into consideration by the Commissioners of Sewers, but of course they had not yet been sufficient time to decide what should be done. At the same time he would remind the hon. member who had introduced the subject that although the magistrates of the city of London were precluded from acting in cases that were initiated by the Sewers Commission, of which they were members, they were perfectly competent to act in cases where private in dividuals were the complaining parties. Mr. MEDIVIN said it appeared to him that there was a very extraordinary state of things in existence at the pre sent moment in reference to this subject, and he should like to ask the Recorder to give his opinion as to what steps should be taken. The RECORDER said be thought the hon. member was mistaken in supposing that every one of the magistrates of the City of London was precluded from acting in his official capacity in complaints of this character. This was not the case, as several of the magistrates, by reason of their not being members of the Commission of Sewers, had full power to decide any such complaints as those referred to, that might be brought before them. With regard to his giving an opinion as to what remedy should be applied, he was sure the Court would think it was rather too much to ask him to give what might bo called an extempore opinion upon such an important subject. INSURING THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS OF THE CORPORATION. Mr. MAYNARD, the chairman of the City Lands Commit tee, brought up a report from that committee, recommend ing that certain public buildings belonging to the corpora tion should be partially insured against fire. The amount proposed to be insured was £70,000, the annual premium for which would be £l7O. This motion gave rise to some discussion, and eventually Mr. LAwLEY moved an amendment to the effect that the subject should be referred• back for further consideration, and that the committee should also consider the advisability of a fund being created to meet such a contingency as a fire at any of the principal buildings of the corporation, and whether it would not be tho better course for them to be como their own insurers. customers to the Post-office and the bankers in Lombard street. This gas was made from Cannell coal, and when notice was given to the companies under the act of Parlia ment of an intention to test the quality of their gas, he be lieved it was customary to put a dash of the superior gas into the other to bring it up to the mark. Mr. PEDLEY said that the hon. member ought to have informed the Court that a higher price was charged for the gas he had referred to than for the ordinary gas. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR defended the General Purposes Com mittee from being guilty of any unnecessary delay., The subject was one ,of very great importance, and it was pos sible that some important steps might be taken upon the report which they laid before the Court. (Hear, hear.) It was clear, therefore, that they were bound to make full and careful inquiry, and that they ought not to come up to this Court with a report until they had well considered the matter. (Hear, hedr.) The petition was then referred to the General Purposes Committee. THE VISIT OP THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA TO THE CITY. Mr. Deputy BONE moved that the several members of this Court who have not received a medal to commemorate the public entry of tho Princess Alex.andra into the city of Lon don be presented with one each, and that it be referred to the Royal Reeeption Committee to carry the same into execution. The motion was agreed to, and the Court shortly after. wards adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL RACES-YESTERDAY. Great was the change in the state of affairs to-day. Comparatively deserted stands and a much diminished at tendance of the masses, in lieu of the crowd and:excitement of yesterday. The racing, too, partook of the quiet of the day, the Mersey Cup being the only event calling for any particular notice, or creating interest for any but betting men. Only six came to the post for it, Idle Girl being the favourite, and landing the stakes rather cleverly after a race between Donnybrook and Filbert. The Handicap Steeplechase had about the usual amount of casualties and mishaps, Vivandiere falling heavily at the water jump op posite the stand, and giving Knott a severe shaking, Fly fisher trying to bolt out of the course, and Demon and Sir Holme extinguished their chance by refusing early in the race. Only two were in it the last mile, Ladbrooke Lass, who had led most of the way, and Mistake, the latter win ning very easily at the finish. So brilliant a meeting had not been held on Aintree for many years, the July in its palmiest days never showing such a gathering. This, with the fine weather we are now enjoying, caused everything to pass off most agreeably. The Croxteth Welter Cup of 50 sovs, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. Winners extra.

The Frenchman made the running, closely attended by Sluggard and the favourite, the others lying off to half-way in the bottom, where Sluggard went to the front, and came into the straight with a clear lead of Terror, who waited until they reached the distance, when he quitted his horses, and won very easily by a length ; half that distance sepa rated the second and third. The others were widely dis tributed. Elandieap Plate of 40 sovs, for all ages. Winners extra. Three furlongs 100 yards. 6 subs.

They got away at the first attempt, Idle Girl on the inside having a slight lead, but after running a few strides she was pulled back, and the running was taken by Oulton Lowe, who, with Filbert, Donnybrook, and the favourite, came on in front to the distance, where the leader dropped back, leaving Filbert in command. At the distance the last named was headed by Donnybrook and Idle Girl, who ran together to the Stand, when the favourite quitted her ad versary, and won very cleverly by three-quarters of alongth; a length separated the second and third, and a neck the third and fourth.

Sir Holme and Rod Pickle in tho rear. They ran thus to the thorn fence, which they cleared without any alteration in their position, but on reaching the water jump in front of the Stand Ladbrooke Lass obtained a clear lead, followed by Vivandiere, who, overjumping herself, fell on landing, and as Knott was in the act of rising he was again sent to the earth by Sir Holme striking him heavily, but fortunately without in flicting any serious injury. This scrimmage gave Lad brooke Lass a long lead, Who dare say 800 going on second, Brian Borhoime third, Mistake next, close up with whom were Demon, Marble Hill, Sir Holme, Rod in Pickle, and Flyfisher. On reaching the first force Mistake headed Ladbrooke Lass, and led them over the plough, to the second fence, which the two leaders cleared nearly abreast, but on Demon reaching it he refused, and upon being put at it a second time, again refused and was left some distance in the rear. At the following fence Marble Hill made a mis take, and in so doing caused Brian Borhoime to follow suit, the pair [losing considerable ground in consequence, but which the mare made up as they approached Beecher's Brook, which Mistake passed over first, with • Ladbrooke Lass at his quarters, and th.n came Brian Borhoime, Marble Hill, and Who dare say 800, the others at this early period having had enough of it, relinquished the race and returned home by the nearest route. As they proceeded along the canal side Mistake considerably improved his po sition, being upwards of half-a-dozen lengths in advance of Mr. Ivens's mare, who was twice as far in front of Brian Bor hoime, and Who dare say 800 side by side, who followed the leaders into the course, where the first two drew away and finished the race home, Mistake holding his own to the end, and winning in a cantor by four lengths; Brian Bor hoime was a bad third. Flyfisher and Marble Hill walke d in next, but did not pass the post. Hurdle Handicap Plate of 50 sovs. Winners extra. One This amendment was eventually carried. PETITIONS. Alderman WATERLOW presented a petition from the in habitants of the Ward of Langbourne respecting the supply of gas in the City, and urging the Court to take immediate steps, through Parliament or otherwise, to protect them in future from the anomalous and unsatisfactory position in which they are now placed. The worthy alderman said he was aware that the Court knew so well the feeling that existed upon this subject in every ward of the City, and the earnest desire felt by the inhabitants to obtain a cheaper and bottbr supply of gas, that he felt it was unnecessary to do more than to move that the petition be referred to the General Purposes Committee for consideration, and he hoped the result would be that the citizens of London, who were at present paying a very large sum for a very inade quate supply of gas would have justice done to them. Deputy FRY said that a great many petitions of a similar kind had been already referred to the General Purposes Committee, and he should be glad to be informed whether anything had been done. Mr. LINTOTT said that the committee had been actively employed in the inquiry, but they had not yet had time to prepare any report. Mr. MEDWIN said it appeared to him that the citizens of London were being poisoned and starved while these in quiries were being proceeded with. (Hear, hear.) This matter had been under consideration for a very long time and nothing seemed to be done. He could not help thinking that these committees Were not quite up to their work, and that one body in particular (the Commission of Sewers) had not done so much as they ought to have done in the matter.

This Hospital, foundel in the year 1828, the first to estab lish the princip"e of free admission to the sick poor, wi t h ou t the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly de pendent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in ‘ddition to this, the average number of attendance of the iistitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the ASSISTANCE of the benevolent, as the premises of 'this Hospital are 'capable of containing several hundred more beds, had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. - From questions that were put to the petitioners who ap peared at the bar it was elicited that they were paying nearly 50 per cent. more for the gas supplied to them than formorly, and that they had a much worse supply ; and that the quality of the gas supplied was so bad that it totally destroyed some description of goods. It was also stated that in one instance where two companies supplied a particular street, that one of the petitioners, on account of the badness of the gas supplied to him by one company, made an appli cation to the other to furnish gas to him, but the applic,a- Gamecock jumped off with the lead, followed by Zara and The Beau, Knave of Trumps, Bunbury, and Corsica lying next, and Grey Momus some way in the rear. Gamecock continued the running to the land turn, when the Beau took it up, and with no other change they came into the straight until approaching the distance, when the favourite drew up to his horses, and, shaking off Zara, who had also joined the leader, won cleverly by half a length, The Beau finish ing the same distance behind Zara.

Young Tollerton, in company with Lisbryan, made play to the second fence, ' when ho refused, which example was followed by Early Morn. This mishap gave a clear lead to Lisbryan, Georgiana following second, Waterman third, and the favourite next ; Young Tollerton, who had been got over, gradually making up his lost ground at Valen tine's-brook ; the latter ran into the third place, and shortly after joined Lisbryan, whom he headed as they came along the canal side, and jumped into the course upwards of twenty lengths in advance of his followers, Master Horatio being as far in the rear of Waterman. With little or no alteration they ran thus to the water jump, which they cleared without a mistake, but on entering the meadows Waterman ran past his horses, and took a clear lead, which he held to Becker's-brook,where he came to grief and was seen no more. Young Tollerton, thus left in possession of the lead, held it only to the twin water jump, beyond which he also came down, and de stroyed whatever chance he possessed, leaving Georgiana, Master Horatio, and Lisbryan to finish the race home. Halfway along the canal side the last named was beaten and pulled up, leaving the issue with the two. The grey held his advantage until reaching the last hurdle, where Turner brought up the favourite next the rails and won very easily at last by a length.

AQUATICS• CAFFIN AND KING (the Ex-Champion Pugilist) FOR £25 A-SIDE. It will be remembered that this race was rowed on Tues day, the 28th February, when a protest was lodged by Mr. Robert Bain, the trainer of Caffin, against the boat that King rowed in, as not being an old-fashioned one accord ing to the articles drawn up on either side. The match eventually took place, but a foul having occurred, the re feree decided that it should be rowed again on Mon day, the 13th of March—the protest in the mean time not having been decided. Since the match was rowed an eminent boat-builder has given it as his opinion that King's boat was not an old-fashioned one according to the articles, consequently had he won the first match the race the would been given to Caffin. Mr. Robert Bain has again chartered the Volunteer and the Child Harold steamers for the convenience of the numerous visitors that are likely to accompany the match. They will leave London-bridge at half-past one o'clock, on Monday first, calling at all the piers upwards to Putney. The Childe Harold will convey the umpire and referee, and the other officials engaged on the occasion. The other steamer will be specially devoted to the accom modation of the public. More than usual interest depends upon the result, as King has already won two out of the three events that he has backed himself for. King is trained by George Drewitt, at Barnes ; and Oaffin by Robert Bain, of Lambeth, at Wandsworth. King is the favourite, at 2 and 3 to 1 on him. Naval and Military Intelligence.

Sutherland (paymaster.) Her Majesty's screw frigate Phaeton, 39, 2,396 tons, 400-horse power, Capt. G. Le G. Bowyear, arrived at the Nore on Wednesday from North America, and saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Naval Commander-in-Chief. During the day she commenced discharging her powder and shell into one of the war department transports sent from Chatham for conveyance to the stores at Upnor Castle, and she is at once to be dismantled in order to be put out of commission. The Serpent, 4, screw steam gun vessel, 695 tons, 200-horse power, has been placed in the large basin in Sheerness dockyard, and is being prepared with all despatch for surveying service on the coast of Japan, and will shortly be commissioned by Com mander Charles J. Bullock. On Wednesday the screw steam Coastguard ship Hawke, 60, Captain Edmund Heathcote,. from Queenstown (accompanied by the paddlewheel steam frigate Gladiator, 6, Captain Francis • H. Shortt) arrived at Plymouth, and anchored in the Sound. Shortly afterwards the ironcased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, Captain George 0. Wines, C. 8., also lying in the Sound, got under way foi the purpose of testing her speed at the measured mile outside. The wind at the time was strong from north-west, and the weather was rather thick. The Prince Consort ran foul of the Hawke and carried away her jibboom and damaged her bowsprit. Her own fore and mainyards were in jured and a boat was smashed. Having sent down the injured yards the Prince Consort proceeded on her trial. Seamen belonging to the Hawke will be paid off ; she is ordered to be dismantled, and will probably be broken up. Orders have been received at Chatham dockyard, directing a survey to . be made of the sailing sloops Childers, 12, and Mariner, 12, attached to the re serve in ordinary, previously to both those vessels being broken up. One of the divers attached to Chatham dockyard has been selected by the Admiralty to examine the bottom of the Great Eastern steamer, in order to ascertain its condition, special application for his services having been made to the Admiralty by the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The undermentioned non-commissioned officers and privates of the Woolwich division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry were on Wednesday pre sented at a general parade with medals for good' conduct and long services, and also with gratuities: —Staff-Sergt. and Gun Drill instructor William Stock Sergeant, £l5 and medal ; Private Charles Read, £5 and medal ; Private Charles Robinson, £5 and medal ; William Henry Willoughby, pen sioner, late colour-sergt. ; Charles Jarvis and Alex.

Her Majesty's screw troopship Himalaya, Capt. E. Lacy, arrived at Spithead early yesterday morn ing, with the 92d Gordon Highlanders on board, after a quick passage of 46 hours from Greenock, strong winds from north to north-west prevailing from the time of the ship leaving Greenock up to her arrival at Spithead. The 92d will disembark this morning from the Himalaya alongside Ports mouth dockyard, and proceed by special train on the South Western Railway to Aldershot camp, via Farnborough. Major Hamilton is now in command of this distinguished regiment, which will arrive at Aldershot to-day in the following strength :-27 officers, 782 men,. 99 soldiers' wives, 137 soldiers' children, officers' families, and six officers' chargers. The Himalaya's next duty will be to convey a regiment from Dover to Queenstown, Ireland, and afterward one other regiment from that port to Malta. From Malta the Himalaya will next convey a regiment to Canada, and return thence with the regi ment relieved by the one from Malta to England. The sailing ship Trafalgar (one of the Messrs. Green's Indian fleet), Commander E. Stackpoole, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning with invalid troops on board for the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley, under contract with the Hon. Council of India. She made the voyage in 86 days from the Calcutta Sandheads. Her troop list com prises Major J. H. Creagh, 27th Regiment; Capt. J. Wyse, 34th Regiment; Lieut. Lampard, 54th Regi ment; Lieut.W. H. C. Smith, 104th Regiment; Lieut. C. G. Norris,Both Regiment; Assis. -Surg. C. Hooper, 42d R. H. B. W.; 142 invalided men from various regiments, 1 time-expired man, 12 soldiers' wives, and 12 soldiers' children. Eight invalided soldiers died during the passage home. The greatest satisfaction is expressed with the accommodation and the food and medical attendance on board. The disembar kation of the troops will be effected from the Tra falgar, at Spithead, by a Government steamer, for conveyance to Netley this morning, the state of the tide yesterday precluding the disembarkation on the ship's arrival at Spithead. With the promised new pier over the mud opposite the hospital at Netley it will be possible, however, to land a freight of troops from steamers of light draught, which are now being constructed specially for the purpose, at any time of tide, and any ship load of sick or wounded soldiers who may then arrive in England will be removed from the 'tween decks of the transport ship, so soon as her anchor is dropped at Spithead, to the wards of the hospital without having to undergo the vexa tious detention of some 24 hours on board ship, as will be experienced by the majority of the troops coming home from India this spring. Her Majesty's 4-gun iron screw troopship Urgent, Capt. Samuel H. Henderson, arrived at Woolwich on Tuesday morning, and went alongside the T-pier, in the Royal Arsenal. The Urgent reached Green hithe on the previous day at 1 p.m., where she made fast for the night, sailing on the following morning at 6, and arriving at Woolwich at 9. She brought five batteries of the sth Brigade Garrison Artillery. from Plymouth, in command of Major Lukin, con sisting of 26 officers, 477 non-commissioned officers and men, 69 women, and 140 children. They landed and marched up to the barracks at 4 o'clock, taking up the quarters vacated an hour previously by the first seven companies of the sth Fusiliers, on their departure for Ireland. The Fusiliers mus tered on the Royal Artillery parade at 3 o'clock 550 strong, every man answering the roll, and were carefully inspected by Major-Gen. Warde, C. 8., commanding the district. It was said that a more exemplary body of men had never entered the gar rison, and that their temperate and well-regulated conduct during the time they had been quartered in Woolwich had been the subject of official re mark. A report to that effect was drawn up for the Field-Marshal Commanding in Chief. The detach ment was under the command of Lieut.-Col. Mil man and the following officers :—Surg. W. K. Swettenham, M.D., Captain TolArnshend, Captain Matthew, Quartermaster Drake, Lieut. C. J. Mills, Lieut. and Adjt. Enderby, Lieuts. Williams, Ormond, Knox, and Hill; Ensigns Marker, Sanders, Tynte, and Way. There were also 47 soldiers' wives and 48 children; the whole of them embarked on board the Urgent for transport to Dublin, to be quartered at Birr. The remaining five companies are under orders to depart on the return of the Urgent from Ireland, after transporting the first detachment to their destination. She yesterday steamed down the Thames from Woolwich arsenal, taking her depar ture at 11 o'clock. The following appointments and promotions have been made at the Admiralty :—On Monday—. Capt. E. Heathcote, to the Frederick William, vice Codd ; Richard Holman, chief engineer to the Fis gard, to the Alecto ; John R. H.

The Wife Murder at Derby. At the Derbyshire Spring Assizes yesterdayJamos Potter, aged 55, a bailiff, who lived in Traffic-street, Derby, was ar raigned for the murder of his wife,Sarah Potter, on the 23d December last. The following is a summary of the evidence which was adduced. The prisoner and his wife lived to gether in Traffic-street, Derby, and a lodger named Stone slept in the same house. Potter, who was subject to fits of strangeness or savageness, was in the habit of abusing and ill-treating his wife, and at such times ho coarsely expressed his jealousy of Stone. On the 22d December the prisoner's married daughter, Mrs. Clements, went from her own house to that of her parents, and found them about to go to supper. The mother, having prepared the meal, left the house to get the prisoner half a pint of beer. Just then the lodger Stone, who had partaken of his supper, also rose, and went out to get some beer. Potter rushed to follow, and the daughter, knowing from past experience his con duct to her mother, interposed to stop him, but, unable to do so, she ran before him to the publichouse to which she knew her mother had gone. Potter followed, and caught hold of his wife, telling her to go home, when she replied, "Not to be ill-used." The daughter separated them as well as she could, and the mother ran away and hid herself from his violence up the street in an entry. The prisoner, violently abusing her in opprobrious language, sought for her some time, and ultimately locked up his house, so that his wife and daughter should not enter, and went to a neighbouring publichouse. Then Mrs. Clements went and I fetched her mother, and after a time endeavoured to get the key, but the prisoner was abusive and refused it. She th en ndnerencademae gvoout re a d P° t li o c g em et a t n he t the mother was out with him and unlocked th e door, k o e g y o f in ro t m o h t e h r e fa p th ub er li . ch T o h us e ei m , so fetched from the hiding-place, a nd they all went in. He seemed at this time more calm and quiet, and spoke c i v i lly but when she left t heir room she heard her father l oc k th e • de to his daughter, wh o soon after saw her parents u p to bed, door on the . Not long after this a man livin g i n t h e next house heard through the wall three faint cries of m urder," and afterwards steps retreating after a door was slammed. A policeman saw the prisoner standing by him self in the street, and asked him why he did not go home. He made reply that his wife had locked him out, and that ho would not go unless the policeman went.with him. The policeman went, and got into the house with Potter ; they went from room to room until in the bed-room they found the woman dead, witha wound in her breast, She had been stabbed with a sword-stick belonging to the prisoner. Ho was arrested and charged with tho murder. He only made some trivial excuse. The jury found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was condemned to death in the usual form. JOE MILLER.—Joe Miller made his first appear ance, on the stage in 1715, in Drury Lane, in Far quhar's comedy of "A Trip to the Jubilee."
