Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's ship Bellerophon, 78, was docked yes terday at Portsmouth, to be converted to a receiving hulk in lieu of the Blake. The Cornwallis ' 60 guns, screw steam-ship, Captain George G. Wellesley, arrived from the Baltic, and an chored at the Meuse, during Sunday night. Her num ber was demanded early on Monday morning by the flag-ship Waterloo, and she was immediately signalled to proceed to Plymouth. She left Sheerness at 5.30 p.m. on Monday. The Chesapeake, 50, screw steam-frigate, recently built in dry dock at Chatham and brought down to Sheerness, was yesterday towed from Blackstakes and berthed at the Docking-buoy. She is to be taken into the fitting-basin and masted immediately. The Scylla, screw corvette, intended to mount 22 guns, has her bottom nearly planked, and fastenings nearly completed, and is expected to be launched by Christmas. The Penelope, 18, paddle-steamer, Captain Sir W. Wiseman, Bart., is at the moorings abreast of Sheerness dockyard ; orders have been received to make good her defects, and, report adds, to get ready for sea service. The Persian brig, 16, is still in dry dock at Sheerness. Her decks are partly laid, and planking complete. She will be ready to haul out in another month, having had a thorough overhaul, and is as good now as the day she was built. The Clint, gun-boat, building at Sheerness, progresses fast. Saturday week is named for her hauling out, if possible, to make room for building another gun-boat of the same dimensions—viz., to draw four feet, and to mount three 32-pounders and three brass howitzers. Nearly 50 shipwrights are now working at her. The Havock, mortar vessel, Mr. H. R. J. Pearch, second master, in command, left Sheerness yesterday morning for P or t s mouth, after landing her mortar and gear. The Lady Eglinton steam-transport, No. 165, taken up to convey huts to the Crimea, left Portsmouth yes terday morning. The Indiana steam-transport landed her invalids at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday afternoon, whence they proceeded to temporary quarters in the Clarence Barracks. _ _ _ The Sir George Pollock sailing transport is ordered to be paid off at Portsmouth, her services being no longer required. The Jackal, No. 27, hired screw steam transport, Edward Fincham, commander, which vessel was assisted into Sheerness leaky, left for the Black Sea at 9.50 a.m. yesterday. Her leak, having been connected with one of her through pipes, was detected and stopped. The Myrtle paddle, Mr. Bourchiere in command, is in the harbour waiting orders, &c. Rear-Admiral Martin, Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, struck his flag on board the St. Vincent in harbour yesterday, and went away on leave. PROMOTIONS. Commanders Charles G.

TEE DESECRATION OF THE DEAD IN CAMDEN-TOWN CEMETERY. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Camden-town was held last evening, at the National School R3om, Camden-street, to receive the report of the committee appointed at a former meeting in reference to the late desecration of the St. Martin's Cemetery by using a por tion of it for building purposes. The attendance was numerous. Mr. KING, senior churchwarden, who occupied the chair, stated what had been done by the comm i ttee. Considerable correspondence had taken place between the vestry clerk of the parish, the trustees of the ceme tery, and the Bishop of London. A letter had been re ceived from the secretary of the bishop, stating that in the absence of his lordship, who is on the continent, the subject had been attended to, and it was hoped all cause of complaint had been removed. The trustees bad passed a resolution to suspend the building operations for 50 feet from the north-west corner of the cemetery—the spot where the poor of the parish have been interred. Application had also been made to Sir George Grey, who had in reply stated that he bad no power to inter fere. The committee suggested that a memorial should be presented to the trustees, requesting them to close the cemetery in acoordance with their resolution. Dr. HOPPUS and Mr. DORMAN considered the terms of the proposed memorial were far too mild. Som e stronger expression of feeling should be given, as it was not the first time that an attempt had been made for a similar Durpose. Mr. BARTLETT suggested that a subscription should be set on foot for the purpose of taking the necessary proceedings to prevent a repetition of the late disgrace-, ful attempt. He moved a resolution to that effect. Mr. Dew seconded the resolution. Mr. INOPEN said tha' every exertion was being made by the vestry clerk to effect the object proposed by Mr. Bartlett, but owing to the law courts being closed, no effectual proceedings could be adopted. In order fcr them to carry on their endeavours with success, it was necessary some funds should be raised for the purpose. The resolution was agreed to nom. con., and a trea surer appointed to receive subscriptions. Professor DE MORGAN thought it advisable that the 1 matter should be referred back to the committee, who would be better able to frame a suitable reply to the trustees of the cemetery on the terms of their resolution than the meeting. He therefore moved that such a course should be adopted. Dr. HOPPUFS seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. A vote of thanks was then given to the committee for their exertions, and to the chairman, and the proceed. ings terminated. FIRE IN SHOE LANE, FLEET-STRRET.—yesterday morn ing between 5 and 6 o'clock, a fire occurred on the pre iniPes of Messrs. Davey and Dale, brass-founders, No. 8 and 9, Shoe-lane, Fieet-street. The building in which the fire was discovered is situate between Shoe-lane and Poppin's-court, and is surrounded by dwellings el:efly inhabited by poor persons. The upper part of the 6 nif,h jog shops was burnt, and the premises of Messrs. D. Cooper, and Co., ink-makers, Nos. 5, 6,,MA,Z,lwere da mar d • t The loss will fall on the and-ininT -il and Sun Fi re lusurance 01Eces, 0 THE SUN; LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3 1855. CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of pul)lic business. Mr. Deputy Peacock presided. MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. Mr. DAw, the chief clerk, read a report from the Ge neral Purposes Committee upon the subject of the duties of the medical officer of health, and the testimonials of the candidates for the office, rendered vacant by the re signation of Mr. Simon. The report, after giving Idle names of the candidates, eighteen in number, and de scribing them as all qualified for the office, recommende d that, in addition to the duties hitherto discharged by the medical officer, it should be his duty in future to super intend the house-to-house inspection throughout fthe city of London as may be necessary, or may be requi red by the commissioners, and to attend upon and give ovi deuce before the magistrates, &c., whenever necessriry, in support of any complaint originating from or connected with the duties of his office, and also to keep proper account of the various matters which he officially brings before the commissioners. And that he do attend every meeting of the commissioners and all committees at which he may be required, whether to advise or to view with them premises whereat sanitary measures are under consideration. The report was adopted ; and upon the motion o' Deputy HARRISON, it was ordered that a copy be forth with sent to every member of the court. The day of election was fixed for Wednesday next at 1 o'clock. from the president, which was as remarkable for its en larged and philosophical spirit as for the elegance and point of its langnae. The attendance of visitors, mem bers of the profession, and students, was very numerous. From the London Gazette of Last Night. DOWNING-STREET, SEPT. 29.

The deaths of 1,160 persons were registered in London in the last week of the quarter that ended on Saturday, Sept. 29, and though swollen by the accession of cases of violent deaths in which inquests were held some weeks since, this number is below the average. London is healthier than. it is usually in September. Diarrbcea is de clining, but was fatal to 75 persons, of whom 62 were under three years of age. Cholera was the cause of nine deaths of persons of various ages. A boatswain, about 4.5 years of age, died of cholera on board ship off Brewer's quay, Thames-street. The wife of a journeyman en gine -smith, aged 36 years, .and the daughter of a tailor, aged four years, died of cholera on the 29th and 26th of September, at. 15; Prdvidence•street, St. George-in-the-East. The Registrar's note on the two latter cases throws light on the circumstances in which sywotic diseases become epidemic and fatal :—" This house contains three rooms, one below ground ; the upper room sub-let ; the lower rooms were in a filthy condition. The sewer opposite.the house is choked, and complaints are made of the- negligence of the dust con tractor. The son of the deceased. mother has also been attacked with cholera, but is recovering. This I have on the authority of the medical officer of the parish, who has ordered an inspection of the nuisances." The registrars of Islington record 7 cases of diarrhoea, and state that an "excessive smell impregnates the atmosphere of the neighbourhood from the Belle Isle nuisances." 17 persons died of small-pox, 11 of measles, 4.5 of scarlatina, 20 of hooping-cough, and 50 of typhus in, the week. The diseases of the respiratory organs were less fatal than usual, for though the weather changed, the tempe rature was above the average. Last week the births of 894 boys and 813 girls, in all 1,707 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845.54 the average number was 1,455. • The barometer rose to 30.330 in. on Monday, and was 30'275 in. on Tuesday, when the moon was full ; it descended to 29-431 in. on Saturday. Rain fell (0'37 in.) on Friday and Saturday. The mean daily tempera tare of the air at Greenwich was 56.6 deg., or 2.2 deg. above the average. The temperature of the Thames, was 6077 deg., or 4 . 1 deg. above the tempefature of the air. The dew point was 6 . 9 dog. below the air temperature ; and the earlier part of the week was dry. The wind blew from the north-east on the earlier days, and from the south-west on the latter days of the week, at veloci ties varying from 50 to 130 miles a day. Electricity was positive for the first five days ; on Friday and Saturday no electricity was shown by the instruments. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS THE PEEL STATUE IN CHEAPSIDE. Mr. DAW read the following extract from a report of the Improvement] Committee :—" We have also had under consideration the question, to us referred, upon the propriety of erecting an iron railing round the newly erected statue of the late Sir R. Peel in Cheapside ; and having considered the case, we are of opinion that, un der the circumstances stated to us, it is desirable not to set up any railing round the same, but to have a double gas lamp upon a suitable standard set up on the north and south sides of the pedestal, and we have requested Mr. Tite and Mr. Behnes to prepare the design for the same, that you may erect them according to it." Deputies LOTT and HOLT severally spoke in favour of a railing 4 urging that without such a protection the pe destal would be certain to receive injury. The statue of the Duke of Wellington was left for some time exposed, but it was found desirable to place a railing round it. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he could not agree with the two preceding speakers in thinking that any class cf the community, through a sheer love of mischief, would dis figure the pedestal. Both these gentlemen bad formerly advocated the removal of the iron railing from around St. Paul's, in order that the enclosed space might be thrown open to the public. He (Mr. H. L. Taylor) wished the pedestal to remain as it now stood for the present, and a railing could be placed round it hereafter, in the event of it becoming necessary. (Hear.) The report of the commit to was agreed to. RESIGNATION OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. Mr. ABRAHAM moved "That this commission, in ac cepting the resignation of Mr. Simon, as the Medical Offi cer of Health for the City, desire to express to hint their high appreciation of his services for the last seven years, and especially to mark their sense of the profound scien tific knowledge and practical talent displayed, not less in his masterly and invaluable reports, than in the effi cient system of sanitary administration which he has established in this City, and the consequent improve ment of its hygienic condition ; and this commission, whilst recording their opinion of his services, have much pleasure in wishing him success and happiness in the more extended field of usefulness opened to him by his new appointment." Deputy OBBARD said be had great pleasure in se conding the proposition. The motion was put and carried unanimously, and the chief clerk was directed to send a copy of it to Mr. Simon. The court, after the transaction of some routine mat ters of business, adjourned. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SE WERS. A special court of sewers was held yesterday at the office in Soho-square, Mr. Richard Jebb in the chair. The balance in the treasurer's hands was reported to be 12,9141. 103. 10d. ; but after deducting the amount of cheques drawn, and not yet presented, it was 8,9671. 14s. 4d. The deposit account amounted to 80,000/, Payments were now ordered to the amount of 6,8871. 15s. 6d. Sir John Shelley called attention to the in vestment of 140,0001., borrowed by the commissioners at 41 per cent. interest, from the Clergy Mutual Assu rance Company, for the purpose of constructing the out fall works of main drainage. That money waa now in vested in ExcheqUer Bills, and producing little over 3 per cent. He thought, in the present condition of the money market, it might be more profitably invested, and he would move that the finance committee take the subject into their consideration. There was a motion of which notice had been given by Mr. Wade, that the fur ther works reported upon by Messrs. Bazalgette and Donaldson, as necessary to divert the whole of the sewage from the River Ravensbourne, the estimated cost of which was 2,5231., should be executed forthwith. In the ab sence of Mr. Wade, this was moved by Mr. Thwaites. It appeared that the works consisted of certain small branches from Lewisham village, fuller's-place, Brockley-lane, and Perry-bill, to join the intercepting sewer which runs parallel to the river Ravensbourne. In seconding the motion Mr. Ward said it was a step in the course which he had always recommended, viz., the dis pollution of the tributary streams which flowed into the Thames; and he trusted that the Fleet and all the other streams, north and south, would ere long be purified in the same way. The motion having been agreed to, Mr. Thwaites next moved that Mr. Bazalgette 's calculations of the slope, size, velocity of flow, and discharging power of his various proposed intercepting lines of main drain age, be printed, as was recommended by the general committee at the last Court of Sewers. He referred to the discussion which was raised upon that occasion by Mr. Ward, in finding fault with the engineer's calcula tions ; and contended that in ju-tice to that gentleman himself, as well as to the public, Mr. Bagaizette's cal culations ought to be published, that their accuracy might be investigated. Sir John Shelley seconded the motion, observing that the duty of the com missioners now, when they had but a short period of existence remaining, was to furnish what facilities they could to the board which was to succeed them ; and they could not do so more effectually than by the publication of so important a document, prepared by their chief en cineer and sanctioned by Mr. Stephenson and Sir NVni. Cubitt, giving information upon the subject which was now regarded by all the inhabitants of London with so much anxiety. On the other hand, Mr. Ward said that he pledged himself to show that this document contained erroneous figures, tending to disguise inconsistencies, to throw dust in the eyes of the commissioners, and to pre vent the formation of a clear judgment as to the magni tude and cost of the works to be constructed for the main intercepting drainage of London. He said that he was quite aware of the responsibility which he incurred in making a charge at least of incapacity againsta professional man like Mr. Bazalgette ; but he was prepared to support his assertions. The Chairman said that such personal re marks were out of order, and that no member of the com mission, except Mr. Ward, had made such imputations on the conduct and competency of their engineer. After some further discussion, in which several commissioners expressed their regret at the turn which the affair had taken, the printing of the calculations was resolved upon. The commissioners then proceeded to dispose of various matters of detail. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL-DISTRIBU TION OF PRIZES.

The paiseecutrix, who gave her evidence with 'great proprietc , of manner, stated that she went into the ser vice of the defendant, Mr. Francis, on Thursday week, the 20th ult., having been engaged by his sister, who kept the house, at is. 6d. per week. She remained in the situation until the following Sunday, when she left in consequence of the present occurrence. On Sunday evening, at about five o'clock, Miss Francis directed witness to get her master's tea and take it up to the parlour at six o'clock. She then left the house. At about the time mentioned she carried up the tea, and was about to return to the kitchen, when her master said, " Get a cup and saucer, and have your tea with me." She accordingly did so, and when tea was over, took down the things to wash them, subsequently returning with the tea things, to place tbem, as usual, in the parlour cupboard. Her master then desired her to get down the wine, and asked her to take a glass. He poured out a wine-glassful, and witness drank it. He then invited her to have another glass, but she drank only part of another. She asked him if she should light the gas, the room being quite dark, and the window-blind down. He replied "No." He then forced witness upon the sofa and committed the offence. (The particulars are unfit for publication.) As soon as she could get away from him she asked to go down stairs, to remove the dogs out of the kitchen (five puppies and their mother), or her mistress would be angry with her. He said, g‘ Very well," and having thus got out of the room she ran home to her mother in Newman-street, and related what had taken place. It was about 7 o'clock when she reached home. The complainant was cross-examined by Mr. Smith, but without shaking her testimony. The mother of the child was next examined, and de posed to her daughter coming home in a very excited state, and telling her what had occurred. On Wednes day, after the summons had been issued from Bow street, he called to see witness's husband. He refused at first to admit him, but defendant followed her hus band into their room, and implored to be forgiven. He offered a sovereign, and said he would do anything for the child in future. The husband refused any of his pro posals, and then the defendant left, calling him a fool for declining to settle the case. William Bowie, husband of the last witness, after con firming his wife's statement as to the return of the pro secutrix on Sunday evening, deposed to the conversa tion which took place between Mr. Francis and himself on the Wednesday. The defendant followed him in, after being desired to leave the house, and said, " Mr. Bowie, pray forgive me. I will own I hare attempted, but I have not harmed your girl. I will give anything if you will pardon me." Witness told him that if he was to put, down 501. on the table it would be no use, as he was resolve.' to send the matter before a magistrate. Prisoner said he was a fool, and finally, by his desire, left - the house. The defendant was committed for trial, his worship consenting to take hail for his appearance at a future day to have the depositions taken. The defendant is a mar ried man, having lately separated from his wife. CLERKENWELL.—A gentleman connected with the committee lately appointed for the suppression of the Belleisle nuisances applied to Mr. Corrie for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : The applicant stated that he yesterday bad an inter view with one of the inspectors of police for the N divi sion, who had informed him that, after sending in their reports to the Home Secretary, an order had been re ceived that no proceedings were to be taken under the Smoke Act for the present. It was of the utmost im portance that something should be done to repress so grave a nuisance, the health of not less than 60,000 per. sons, inhabitants of the district in question, being con cerned. The effluvium arising from the manufacture of tloa blood manure was most offensive, and the whole of the neighbourhood was poisoned in the coarse of an hour. In the manufacture of this manure large quantities of sulphuric acid, bone dust, and other offen sive matter was used. Several persons had left the neighbourhood yesterday solely through the continuance of this nuisance. Mr. Corrie thought it would be better for the appli cant to go to the Home-office and represent that he had been to the court, when, if they refused to act, the trus tees had better take the matter up.

AQUATICS. FOUR-OARED CUTTER RACE. The race between John Phelps's crew, a very pro mising party of oarsmen, and the Brothers Salter, of Wandsworth, a famous nursery for aquatic men, for a bet of 101. and a dinner, took place yesterday, and created a very considerable amount of interest. The following were the crews : THE BROTHERS' (WANDSWORTH) CREW. H. Salter.' S. Salter. G. Salter. A. Salter. J. Driver, coxswain. PHELPS'S (FULHAM) CREW. J. Phelps. J. Kelly. H. Kelly. P. Jones. E. Kelly, coxswain. The distance was from Battersea-bridge to Putney bridge. Several boats were afloat to witness the race. Phelps's crew having won the toss, they started evenly at half-past 5. Soon after Phelps's crew began to lead, and off Cremorne were half a length clear. Here the Brother.; began to get better to work, and drew on the other crew. Off Lintill's, the Old Swan, Battersea, they became level, and at the White Hart cleared their opponents. After this the Wandsworth crew continued to increase their lead ; opposite the Feathers were a length and a half clear, and finally came in the winners by two clear lengths. The pace was very good. Sal ter's crew were the favourites. The dinner takes place cn Thursday evening next, at the Feathers, when Mr. H. Salter will be happy to see any of his aquatic friends. CRICKET.—PORTMAN CLUB V. REGENT'S PARK, ETON. —This match was played on the lit inst. at the Middle sex Ground, Primrose-hill, and, as before, ended, in favour of the Portman, notwithstanding one of their best ( men being absent. The bowling of Roysto❑ and Payne cannot be too much commended. This is the fifth, out of thelsix matches played by the Portman this season, they have won. HIILL-OCT. 2. A good supply of wheat from the farmers, with a free sale at last week's rates. The condition and weights of the new wheat have not improved. A very retail business in foreign wheat, owing to the high pretensions of holders. In barley a good business done, at is to 2s per qr. advance. Linseed unaltered, but cakes hardly maintain the late ad vance. Rape cakes continue scarce. Bones are sparingly offered, and realise high rates, both here and to arrive. -8 8 Wheat, English, red 75 t o SO I Ditto white B2 to 85 Dantzie and Konigs berg [ Peas, grey and black to S.
