A NEW NOVELIST.—We have reason to be lieve that the reading public are on the point of being called upon to greet a new aspirant in the realms of to. mantic fiction, whose pretensions will, at once, place him in the very highest rank of that most popular branch of modern literature. If what we bear of the forthcoming novel entitled " The Engagement" be true, we have had nothing since " Tremaine" and " Pelham" that has bests calculated to call forth half so much curiosity concerning its anonymous author, or half so intense an int , nest to wards itself, as will this forthcoming work. Indeed we are told that it combines, in a very remarkable manner, the leading characteristics of the two accomplished writers above referred to—that it unites to all the force and fervor of imagination and the strength of passion, which ao en chant us in Bulwcr, all the exqui ite moral grace and beauty, as weal as the truth and delicacy in the delinea tion of the female cbaractor in all its phases, which so eminently distinguish the writings cf Mr. Plumer Ward.

A Special Court of Sewers was yesterday held at the Com missioners' Offices, in Greek-street, Soho, 1. L. Donaldson, Esq., in the Chair, in order to consider the Bill now in Ccm mittee in the House of Lords, intituled, "An Act for the better Drainage and Improvement of Buildings in large Towns and Villages." The heads of the Bill having been read by the Clerk at the table, The CHAIRMAN said that the Bill might be divided into two portion=, the one relating to sewerage, the other to venti lation. With the first part only had they any thing to do. He moved that the first clause be read. The clause having been read, The.CnAmmaN — said that the clause provided that no house in a town should be built without a barrel drain. Now they ought to hwe provided that there must be a sewer or water course in the street, or the drain would be of no use. It should be in a street where there is a sewer. Mr. LESLIE said, that it was now, fur the first-time, that an attempt had Leen made to mix up the Comniuers of Sewers with the building of houses. He thought that they had quite enough to do to attend to the sewers, and that it was not proper to throw such an onerous duty as that of superin tending the building of all new houses upon the Commissioners of Sewers. It would add most materially to the business of the Court. He thought that every thing connected with the Building Act should be made the subject of a distinct Act. The machinery of the Court was not adapted to the superintend ence of the building of houses. Sir G. FA RRANT thought they would have no additional trouble with the buildings. The CHAIRMAN said that at present persons building new houses frequently came to the Court to know when they might drain, but they could not be compelled to drain. Mr. LESLIE thought all the objects of the Bill might be accomplished by compelling parties building new houses to drain into the common sewer. If the Bill passed, the district surveyors appointed by the Magisttates, would, by a side wind, be maim the surveyors of the Court. The Bill was a valuable ole but it ought to be separated into two parts. Mr. S. Lc P:11, had heard it reported that it-was the inten— tionof the Legislature to separate the Bill into two parts. The CHAIRMAN agreed that it would be better the Bill should be divided into two parts. . 111 r. LESLIE thought if they got the power of compelling parties to drain into a common sewer, under the • superinten denee of the Court, wherever there was sufficient public sewerage, they would obtain all that was necessary. He thought if a memorial were sent into the Home Office on the subject of dividing the Bill into two Acts, that it would meet with attention. . Mr. WILLOUGHBY thought the more the Corporation at tended to the great lines of sewers, and confined themselves to that, the more would they be in the performance of their duties. With regard to private drains, they ought to confine themselves to superintendence, and to compelling parties to drain into the great lines of sewers. The Court was not fitted to carry out the provisions of that Bill. The CHAIRMAN said they should be cautious how they gave up interference with drains, for the Poor-law Comm's sioners had endeavoured to get the power of ordering sewers to be constructed into their hands. It would be a great obstruc tion to the business of the Court if the diitrict surveyors were to be the officers of the Court. Mr. WILLOUGHBY was of opinion that the provisions of the Bill were too general, and that the Bill brought forward two years ago was a better Bill, as far as sewerage was concerned. In answer to a question from a Commissioner, The CHAIRMAN stated that no one had seen the Marquis of Normanby on the part of the Commissioners of Sewers. Mr. LESLIE moved a resolution to the effect that although the Commissioners approved of the objects of the 13,11, yet they were of opinion that it would be better that the Bill should be divided into two or more parts, so as to separate that portion relating to sewerage from the other parts of the Bill, and that the objects of the Bill relating to sewerage would be obtained by giving to the Commissioners the power s f compelling parties to drain into a common sewer. He thought it would be better to communicate some such resolution to the Home-office, before going into the details of the Bill. If they went into the provisions of the Bill, he could show that it would be impossible for the Commissioners to carry even those relating to sewerage into effect. Mr.\VlLLotiumir. thought it would be better to omit the latter part of Mr. Leslie's resolution, and confine themselves to expressing the desire for the separation of the Bill into two or more parts, confining themselves to the general princ;ple at first, and going into particulars afterwards. Mr. T. DYER thought it would be desirable that the Com missioners should have the power of compelling parties to make new sewers where requisite. The CHAIRMAN proposed that the resolution might be altered so as to embody the suggestion of Mr. T. Dyer. Mr. LESLIE thought they had better ask only for a little, and they would get a great deal ; if they asked for too much they would get nothing. The CHAIRMAN did not think they were asking too much. If they had not the power of making sewers they would not produce on part of the good which they would effect if they had that power. It was ultimately arranged that the resolution should be divided into three parts—the first relating to the divi sion of the Bill, and the confining the sewerage to the Commissioners of Sewers, which was carried unani mously ; the second, relating to the power asked for by the Commissioners to compel parties to drain into common sewers, where such were in existence, which was also carried unanimously; and a third, relating to the powers asked for by the Commissioners to build new sewers where a Jury should de cide them to be necessary, at the expense of the owners of the adjoining property, if they refused to do so, which was also carried unanimously. Mr. LESLIE would like to call Lord Normanby's attention to the clause in the local Act as to the Poor-rate being proof of occupation, so as to introduce some such clause into the general measure. There was a great interest at the back of the Bill—the Surveyors.=(A laugh.) There might be hereafter, for all they could do to prevent it, a proposal to map and plan all London. He had an utter horror of the mapping and planning system. Thu CHAIRMAN thought it would be better to confine them. selves strictly to the matter on which they were engaged. Should these resolutions be communicated to lord Normanby by letter or by a deputation ? It would perhaps be better that the clerk should transmit the resolutions to his Lordship, and state that, if his Lordship wished for further information, a deputation would wait upon him, and he would suggest that such deputation should consist of the mover and seconder of the resolution, and the Chairman. Mr. LESLIE did not want any deputation. Mr. Tx ISTLETON DYER thought a deputation exceedingly de sirable. If it were intended to get rid of the Commission by a side wind, the sooner they were informed of it the better, in order that they might set their house in order. He thought. it was the duty of the Court to appoint some persons in whom they had confidence to represent them before the Committee of the House of Lords on the Bill. He thought Lord Normanby ought to be asked to receive a deputation. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. LESLIE wished to know in what situation they would be placed with regard to the proceedings on Tuesday. On Tuesday last two gentlemen had chosen to adjourn the Court. Now, that he believed was fatal to the whole proceedings. The Chairman had thought proper to revive the motion, but had not revived his amendment. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Leslie might, at any time, pro pose an amendment without notice. Mr. LESLIE understood, from high authority, that the ad journment of the Court was fatal to the whole of the present ment, and that they must bagin de novo. Let them recol lect that the Court, not the debate, was adjourned. Was the Chairman prepared to rule that they could, on Tuesday, re vive the question ? The CHAIRMA N—The motion was not the same motion—it was a different one from the one brought forward on the last occasion. . Mr. LESLIE—But suppose Commissioners should be ad vised not to attend where such a fatal objection existed to their proceedings? The CHAIRMAN—Then • they had better stay away.—(A laugh.) He had not revived the former motion—he had pro posed an entirely new one, upon which it was quite competent to Mr. Leslie to move an amendment. Mr. Wit.LouGtinv said, that by the bye-laws there was no discretion left to the Chairman as to putting the question of the adjournment of the meeting, if made after four o'clock. Mr. A'BECKETT gave it as his opinion, that in such a case the business mast be taken up where it had been left off on the former occasion. Mr. THISTLETON DYER thought the best way would be to issue another summons, taking up the business just a here it had been left off on the former occasion. The CHAIRMA N thought he had acted quite regularly under the second clause of the bye-laws. The motion and amend ment had been adjourned sine die, and he had to give notice of an entirely new motion. He had no other course to pursue. Mr. LEswe's objection was on other grounds. They had had parties brought before them for judgment. They had come to no decision—they had adjourned without doing so ; that was equivalent to an acquittal, and those parties would claim the benefit of it. The motion for the signing the decree and the amendment were on their books, and before they were disposed of they adjourned, not the consideration of the ques tion, but the Court. He had not opposed it, because he thought , .. it was carrying out his views. _ Mr. WILLOUGHBY thought that henceforth the reproach of taking technical objections ought not to be confined to law yers alone. All the proceedings had been acconling to the rules of the Court. . Mr. A'BECKETT wished to know how they were to proceed on Tuesday ? The CHAIRMAN said they would proceed upon the business in the paper.—The Court then adjourned. FALMOUTH, FEB. 12.—The Royal Tar, Captain Dorman, and Lieutenant J. Wire, Admiralty agent, came in to-day; from Gibraltar the 12th, Cadiz the 13 h, Lisbon the 16th, not communicating with Oporto, and from Vig) on the 18th, passing the outward_ bound steamer off Finisterre. There is nothing to be learnt of the state of things at Tangier; her Majesty's brig Jaseur was still absent, and it was said remained there. The two transports, Boyne and Prince Regent, had not sailed for the West Indies from Gibraltar. The Great Liverpool passed through the Gut in seven days from hence. The United States sloop of war Preble, from Boston, had arrived in the Tagus, after a long passage of thirty days, having on Loard the American Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Edward Cavanagh. The late and con tinued rain had caused great devastation on the borders 'of the T:gas both to lite and property. The accounts received by the steamer from the Basque provinces of the sprit and disposition of the natives are fir from rgrer ing with C.'erl other. What appears positive is, that Govern ment is sending a division of 8,000 men to that quarter, under the command of General Zavala. Th 3 elections still caved disturbances'. General Espartero's late ad dress to the National Guards of Madrid had been con strued disrespectfully by some of the Opposition papers towards that body. This had been resented both by the addresser and the addressed at an interview which the General had, inconsequence, with a numerous deputation of the Guards. The opportunity was improved at the same time by all concerned to declaim against the an cient order of things, to eulogise the revolutionary move ment by which it was upset, and to renew assurances of mutual regard and support for the future. The Ge neral told them that he relied upon them, as they might rely upon him. The Dean of York has addressed a letter to Dr. Phillimore, the Commissary of the Archbishop of York, through the York Courant, in which the Dean denies the right of the Archbishop W interfere as Ordinary. PRICE sd. STATE PROSECUTIONS. A public meeting, called by advertisement, was held in th , .. Hail of Science, Sheffield, on Wednesday evening last, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to release Hetherington from prisor. The meeting was numerously attended, and at eight o'clock Mr. Isacc Iron. side was called to the chair.

REPRESENTATIVE GOVERN- MENT. SIR VALENTINE BLAKE'S SEVENTH LETTER. TU THE EDITOR OF THE SUA. Stn,—On the 17th of October last I had the honour to address a letter to the Marquis of Normanby, in reply to which Colonel York did me the favour to men tion his Lordship's inability to attend to official duties, ia consequence of his Lordship's lamented indisposition. On the 6th of November 1 repeated the substance of my communication, in an amended form, in a letter which I had the honour to address to Lord Morpeth, and in both letters I suggested the application of a " Russell-Roland" to counteract the expected " Stanley- Oiiver," and I reque,ted that if his Lordship deemed my communication of sufficient importance he would at once submit it to the serious attention of his Excel lency the Lord Lieutenant and also the British Govern ment. I reminded the Government respectfully that the existing exc tewent in Ireland was occasioned by the avowed intention of a majority of the Eng lish Members of Parliament to restrict the Irish franchise, and thus to repeal the Irish Reform Bili, under the pretence of amending it, in open cppo sition t. the great trajor:ty of the re-preterit tti‘es for Ireland, to the expressed opinioti of her Majesty's Go -lerraneLt, and entirely contrary to the loudly expressed abhorrence of such au ett 'rapt by the people of !re late', with the except:on of its numerically insignificant, and self-consfteted moral, mental, and political slave traders, who were anxious to reduce their nume rous tenantry t a state of civil and religious servitude, and thus to dictate " who shall elect," and consequently " who shall be elected " as Members for Irelend in the Imperial Paglialthent. I further stated that to my own knowledge there were many iriflueutial persons, as well in, as not connected with, Ireland, who are persuaded that a sub-division of the duties of the Legislative beefy would conduce much to the prosperity of the United Empire ; that it was in the absolute power of the Government to propitiate and convert the future proceedings of the associated advocates for an unconditional Repeal of the Union, so as to make them, and all the other friends of rational liberty, accord in pursuing one specified object ; that under such circumstances the populer voice would be irresistible—that the House of Lords itself would succumb, and that many of the men who are now ranged in open hostility to the Government, even in Ireland, would co-operate and duly appreciate the vast and paramount advantages of peace and security for life and property to be produced by a proper system of separate local legislation for England, Scotland, and Ireland, the local . legislature to be elected and re turned on Reform principles by the same localities, and the reconstruction of the constituencies, as before the two Unions—the local Parliaments to be independent on all local subjects—but otherwise to be in connexion with the Imperial Parliament on - all ques lions of colonial or imperial policy. I further respectfully reminded the Government that the proposed reform of the representation (which merely consists of the federal rule of self-government) was attempted to be carried by the Tory Commissioners of Scotland, in preference to the entire Union of the two Legislatures ; that it was a middle course between unqualified Repeal and a mere subordinate Parlia ment ; that it was a simple law of regulation, and did not comprehend the repeal of any fundamental law—that it was a view of the subject which had never before been alluded to, except by the talented editor of lyre Sun—that even by him it was mentioned with reference to Ireland only—that the principle of Members of Delegation to the Imperial Legislature was already in operation, and was analogous to the mode of selection of the Scotch and Irish Representa tive Peerage, Sze. ; moreover, that it worked benefi cially in the Cantons of Switzerland, and in the United States of America, where each State reserved to itself the exclusive right and power of regulating its internal affairs, on all matters not included in the Ar ticles of Confederation ; so that the Imperial Parliament, in the event of the proposed change of the character of' the Union, would be analogous to the American Congress ; while at the same time the federal reform would have the astonish ing effect of liberalizing the to/sole body of the Irish and Scotch Imperial Representation, be cause the Imperial Members would be the nomi nees of the elected Members of each local Parlia ment—and not, as at present, the nominees of any particular borough or county constituency. Then, again, I urged my scheme as in affect an ex tension of the elective franchise, which would be more in unison than the present system with the numerical amount of the population—that the proposed distribu tion of the immense labours of the Legislature would disencumber the Imperial Parliament, and prevent laborious, protracted, and often undignified midnight discussions on matters purely local, and not of general importance. I further took the liberty to remind the Government that the Duke of Portland, as Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, in concert with Lords Rockingham and Shelburne and Mr. Fox, as British Ministers, contemplated, 800 after the enactment of the repeal of Poynine:s law e I in 1782, to bring forward an Act to be adopted the Legislatures of both kingdoms, by whi ch the nsuoporiednmaeyd of the British Parliament shoul d be k a : in all matters of imperial policy. T hat _ was found to be impracticable, f or tae measure tile obvious .. reason, that it would be insult and an injus tice to grant a powe r to at t l l] British. to legislate for Ireland. That t hi s objection— however insuperable as to a mere could not apply to t he case of Imperial Parliam Parliament ent, where Irish interests woul pr d be reeie skent ai e men, acting in concert with the Scotch and English Liberals.. That the Act of Union with Ireland contains inter nal evidence that some such change as I bad the honour to su g gest might be adopted by a future Legislature. That the authors of the Union must have contem plated the possible resuscitation of an Irish Parliament in.oonnexion with the Imperial Parliament, inasmuch as they provided for such possibility in their lease to the Bank of Ireland of the Parliament Houses. In reply to which I was told, in the most kind and courteous language, that my Noble correspondent had no hesitation in stating that my communication was en titled to respectful attention ; that he would not pre tend to enter into any consideration of its merits, fur ther than to observe that he apprehended its immediate Contents of the MARCH NUMBER (price One Shilling) of T HE POLYTECHNIC JOURNAL, No. XIX. : ""On Cold, by Forbes Winslow, Esq., Author of " Physic and Vitysicians"—Probable Duration of the present Supply of Coal —Musket on Iron—British Institutifm—Schindler's Life of Beethoven, edited by Moscheles—Proceedings of Scientific Bodies—Westhead's Facile Divester Corsets—Pott's Picture, Rail, and Chains—With the usual Notices and Reviews. n Office, 13, Wellington-street North, Strand; and of all Booksellers.

THE POOR-LAW IN THE CITY OF LoNeori.--Yesterday Mr. Pontifcx appeared before Alderman Hooper, upon the ptrt of the Guardiankof the West London Uaitut,,in eon sequence of a statement which appeared in the newspapers=' on Wednesday, tending to reflect upon the conduct of the gentlemen who act for the poor throughout that extersivo district. Sir Edmund Head, the Assistant Poor-law Commis sioner, ettended upon the part of the Commissioners of the Poor-laws, and t-:e City Commissioner, and several other gentlemen who felt an interest in the subject to which the statement referred, were also present. The statement was to the effect that a policeman had taken three utterly destitute persons to the West London UeLn, and requested the porter to admit and relieve them ; that the porter bluntly refused, and told the policeman to take them to the Straw-yard (the Refuge for the House less Poor), or where they pleased, and slammed the door in his face. There were some minor circumstances de tailed which were calculated to show that there was a very rigorous mode of carrying the law into effect adopted in that Union, and that there was a sort of conflict between the West London Union and the City of London Union, by which the ends of justice were in many instances de.- feated. Mr. Pontifex said that the report having occasioned such excitement, and subjected the Guardians to most unjust suspicions, lee came forward to deny, in the most unqua lified manner, that these gentlemen had ever acted negli gently or injurioucly to any of the numerous applicants for relict. In consequence of an arrangement euteted into betee.ni the Guardians of the West London Union and the City Commissioner, the gate-keeper was ordered not to admit any destitute person who should apply for admie ion after eleven o'clock at right, without a note from the In spector, and the Guardians believed that the man was justified in the COUISC he had pursued, iu conformity with that revulation. Now, the difficulties which the West London Union officers had to encounter, were not few nor light, for as many as 257 applicants had been received last week after the hour of eleven at night, and between that liner and six hi the morning, and the conduct of the class of persons who applied, was generally as bad as could be imagined, in as tenets as within a month, sevetemen comuleints had been male against those wild were received for having wantonly broken the windows of the house, and the delinquents mentioned as a reason that they wished to go eeprison, as they were better treated in gaol than in the Union. As to the charge made against the gate-keeper, he (Mr. Pontifex) did not know how far it was founded in truth, but the Guardians believed that if the man erred, it was from misapprehension, not intention, and they by no means wished to screen him. The Commissinner of the City Police said, he most rea dily exonerated the Guardians of the West London Union from inteetiorial error. He admitted that, for the most part, they were prompt and exemplar . ) , in their conduct at the same time, the defence of their officer, set up upon this occasion, was altogelser untenable. The three des- Out: persons, whose case was before the Court, bad ap plied for relief five minutes after ten at night, whereas the res lotion alluded to only referred to A pplications made after the hour of eleven. That reaclution had been suggested by himself and adopted by the guardians tc: meet tee objects.; first, that by taking the applicant to the then-house, it might bti ascertained whether he was si.a habitual vagrant; and next, that the parish in which.bd had been found might be known, so that the guarshausea the union might be able to remove him thither. The fact- was, the resolution was never attended to by the officer, tor it appeared in evidence that he refused to receive the wretched individuals, and told the policeman he might take them to the Straw-yard, or anywhere else. The inquiry at the present moment was of the greater importance, inasmuch as tee continuance of the Poor-law Act was now before Parlia meat, and he would venture to suggest that the state of the law, in reference to the peculiar circumstances of the City of London, we!l merited the attention of ail the paro chial authorities. It could not be denied that a very un desirable conflict was going on between the parishes within and the perishes without t',e walls of the city : and that, in the strife, the condith n of the poor was made a very subordinate object; and lie was the more anxious to press this subject on the notice of his Lordship, because he con sidered the eeisiing grievances, as concerned 'the poor, might be easily remcdico. Sir Edmund Head said that he attended, by direction of the Poor-law Commissioners, whose usual course, under circumstances of complaint, it was to institute imrneeliwo inquiry into the conduct of the officers accused. The case before the Miigistrate had been heard cf by the Commis sioners, and he begged to state that if it appeared that the conduct of the officer, against whom the charge had been brought, deserved animadversion, an investigation should be commenced. He agreed with the Commissioner of the City Police that the most marked distinction should be drawn between the destitute and the designing, and some of the officers of unions, who had acted without pay ing due regard to that distinction, bad been dismissed. It could not be for a moment said that a destitute person was not to be received. With respect to the suggestions which had been just submitted by the Poor-law Commis sioners, he considered them to be very valuable. Mr. Pontifex begged to be allowed to correct an omission he had made in his statement. It bad been said that the Union-house bell had been muffled. The reason was that last summer crowds of sturdy beggars used to pull for hours at the bell, to the annoyance of the whole neigh bourhood ; and he assured the Alderman that so anxious wire the Guardians to do everything humanity could suggest that they appointed an additional porter for the night work. After some further conversation the Alderman men • tinned to Mr. Edmund Head that the City Police Com missioner did not wish to proceed further against the gate keeper of the West London Union, whose refusal to ad mit the destitute, from whatever cause it originated, had been very properly brought before the public.
