Alice Hawthorn made all the running, but was ehal leng, d in the cords by I-am-not-aware, and caugiAt on the post, the judge giving it a dead heat; nothing was near these two at the finish. A difference of opinion exists as to this, many thinking that the mare ought to have won, had not the jockey pulled her out of the stride, from an idea that he had won; others believe that she was in difficulty for the last 200 yards, and could not have run another yard. Col. Peel and Mr. Salvin after wards agreed to divide the plate, and the horse walked over. This is the last race Alice Hawthorn will run under the present contract, the term for which she was hired of Mr. Plummer having expired this day. In the evening a meeting of the subscribers was hel.d in the Betting-rooms, and a series of rules and regula tions for their observance in 1845, proposed and unani mously confirmed. They were nine in number, of which it is only necessary to give a copy of the one having re ference to disputed bets. It runs thus :—Any member of this roam, having a disputed bet with another mem ber, shall be bound, if required by him, to refer such dispute to two referee', being members of this room, one to be chosen by each party, the referees to appo'nt umpire (being also a member of the room) before they proceed to hear the case, or in the event of the referees not agreeing in the choice of an umpire, he shall be appointed by the committee. The decision of such referees or umpire to be final, but should such dispute happen to involve any question of racing law, the referees or umpire shall refer that ques tion only to the Stewards of the-Jockey Club, with a request that they will determine the same, and whose opinion thereon the said referees or umpire shall adopt, confining their own judgment to the facts of the case. Any member refusing or neglecting to refer such dis puted bet, or to comply with the decision upon such reference, within one calendar month after notice of such decision from the book-keeper, either personally or by letter, to be addressed to the last known place of re idence of such member, shall, upon complaint to the Committee, be deemed and treated by them as a defaulter according to the third rule. Rule three pro s for the exclusion of persons in default for stakes and bets, or guilty of any fraud or mal-practice connected with horse racing. The Committee appointed for 1845 are the Hon. Captain Rous, UP., C. Greville, Esq., and S. Wadding:on, Esq., M.P., members of the Jockey Club, S. Worrall, Esq., J. S. Drinkall, Esq , and R. M. Jaques, Esq., one of the three first-named gentlemen to go out in rotation at the end of each year, having pre viously nominated his successor, being also a member of the Jockey Club, and one of the three last-named gentlemen to go out in rotation, his successor to be elected at a meeting of the subscribers in the. Houghton race week.. Three to form a quoram, and the Chairman, pro teen, to have the casting vote, in addition to his own, as a member of the Committee. The subscrip tion to be one sovereign for the Craven, two Spring and July meetings ; one sovereign for the July, October, and Houghton meetings; and halt a sovereign for any single meeting. A vote of thanks to the proprietor for his public spirit in providing an accommodation that had so long been required at Newmarket, was carried by accla mation, and was answered by an assurance that no pains or expense should be spared to secure the comfort and convenience of the .subscribers.

Mr. Hood here furnishes us with one of the most spirited sketches that have ever proceeded from his pen. It is called the " Lay of the Labourer," and describes a visit which he paid to a rustic way-side ale-house, where he met with a party of agricultural labourers, who were bewailing their physical and mental sufferings over a can of cold water in lieu of strong beer, with which they were all too poor, to pro ' vide themselves. The account which our author gives of their woe-begone appearance is painfully afflicting, and the reflections which it suggested to him are of the kindliest and most catholic character. In the course of this sketch he relates the sad story of poor Gifford White—a youth, aged eighteen, who was transported for life by Lord Abinger for having sent a threatening anonymous letter to some farmers in the neighbourhood, announcing his intention to set fire to their barns unless they provided him with work. Mr. Hool justly observes that the sentence was a most harsh one, and pleads the poor fellow's cause with infinite force and feeling. The " Streets of Paris" alludes to the historical associations connected with some of the principal streets in the French capital. The " Brace of Birds" is a vigorously told story, referring to the death of a poacher who fell a sacrifice to the flagrant injustice and inhumanity of the game-laws. The " Acorn" is Ln elegant poem, but we prefer quoting the melancholy chaunt which Mr. Hood has introduced into his " Lay of the Labourer :" A spade ! a rake ! a hoe ! A pickaxe, or a bill ! A hook to reap, or a scythe to mow, A flail, or what ye will— And here's a ready hand To ply the needful tool, And skill'i enough, by lessons rough, In Labour's rugged school. To hedge, or dig the ditch, To lop or fell the tree., To lay the swarth on the sultry field, Or plough the stubborn lea ; The harvest stack to bind, The wheaten rick to thatch, And never fear in my pouch to find The tinder or the match. To a flaming barn or farm My fancies never roam ; The fire I yearn to kindle and burn Is on the hearth of Home ; Where children huddle and crouch Through dark long winter days, Where starving children huddle and crouch, To see the cheerful rays, A-glowing on the haggard cheek, And not in the haggard's blaze ! To Him who sends a drought To parch the fields forlorn, The rain to flood the meadows with mud, The blight to blast the corn, To Him I leave to guide - The bolt in its crooked path, To strike the misers rick, and show The skies blood-red with wrath. A spade ! a rake ! a hoe I A pickaxe, or a bill I A hook to reap, or a scythe to mow, A flail, or what ye will— The corn to thrash, or the hedge to plash, The market- team to drive, Or mend the fence by the cover side, And leave the game alive. Ay, only give me work, And then you need not fear Tbat I shall snare his Worship's hare, Or kill his Grace's deer ; Break into his Lordship's house, To steal the plate so rich ; Or leave the yeoman that had a purse To welter in a ditch. Wherever Nature needs, Wherever Labour calls, No job I'll s hi r k o f the hardest work, To shun the workhouse walls ; Where savage laws begrudge The pauper babe its breath, And doom a wife to a widow's life, Before her partner's death. • My only claim is this, With labour stiff and stark, By lawful turn, my living to earn , Between the light and dark ; My daily bread, and nightly bed, My bacon, and drop of beer— But all from the hand that holds the land, And none from the overseer No parish money, or loaf, No pauper badges for me, A son of the soil, by right of toil Entitled to my fee. No alms I ask, give me my task Here are the arm, the leg, The strength, the sinews of a Man, To work, and not to beg. Still one of Adam's heirs, Though doom'd by chance of birth To dress so meair, and to eat the lean, Instead of the fat of the earth ; To make such humble meals As honest labour can, A bone Lnd a crust, with a grace to God, And little thanks to man A spade ! a rake ! a hoe I A pickaxe, or a bill A hook to reap, or a scythe to mow, A flail, or what ye will-- Whatever the tool to ply, Here is a willing drudge, With muscle and limb, and woe to him Who does their pay begrudge I ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE. The illustrations to this Magazine —more especially those for the present month—are of the choicest character, the landscape sketches in particular, which are as true to life as one of Copley Fielding's. Nor is the literary portion of the work less carefully attended to, whether as regards selection or variety of subject. The " Old House at Home" is the com mencement of a tale fromthe pen of a writer who signs himself " Craven." It opens well, but we must see more of it before we can venture on a decided opinion. " Louis Philippe and the Irish Tutor" is a whimsical dialogue, which is supposed to have taken place between the King of the French and one Doctor O'Toole, during that Monarch's recent visit to Windsor Castle. It is accompanied by a clever em bellishment of an Irish peasant flirting with two coquettish young girls, who seem bent on making a fool of him. The " Life and Writings of the Swedish poet Vitalis" contains some ingenious criticisms on, together with translations from, .the songs and ballads of this popular author. A " Sketch" is an affecting story of a wife's desertion by her husband, and her . own consequent lap se i n t o v i ce . The subject a hacknied one, but it is well treated. In the article headed "Some Points for a new People's Charter," we find the following allusions to " Young England''— " Malthus is dead in philosophy as well as in the flesh; and Young England is born a vigorous, right-hearted youngster, worth a dozen dead philosophers, even if they were all real ones. How he bustles and rattles about. What excellent things he does, though it must be ac knowledged, not always aware of the ulterior con sequences of his doing. How he brings forward a ten hours' bill, and revolutionises a whole system of legisla tion; rates a minister, and breaks to pieces a party; forms societies for the mental improvement of working men, and thus, by removing all fair objections, forwards might and main the advent of the people's government that ho so abominates ; abolishes distinctions of classes in the formal worship of God in our churches, and thus prepares the way for a similar abolition in that grander system of prayer and praise, which has the wide world for an altar, and which makes life itself an uninterrupted series of Sabbaths and holidays. Young England has faith. Let this belief be a part of his faith—that what is begun in good, that is to say, with good motives for good objects, cannot end in evil, Let him, therefore, pursue. rejoicingly, his endeavours to promote the well being of the people in his own way ; the people will be grateful for it in theirs; and no doubt the issues' will be just what they ought to be, whether in the form of a more or leas popular regime—wbether they exhibit a vast improvement or entire reconstruction of society. To be sure, in any case Young England will make these issues triumphs. It stands upon the old ways ; and a very skilful but peculiar use it makes of its position. Does Universal Suffrage prevail? why Young England will show you how old was the principl e t h at taxation and representation should be co-extensive. Are An nual Parliaments law ? why Young England says Of course, it was so in former times, was it not?' Very true; and for our parts we don't despair yet of seeing poems from Mr. Monckton Mines, written to revive the old spirit of democracy, or Mr, D'lsraeli taking a tour through the provinces during a Parliamentary vacation to give a series of lectures on the People's Charter, expatiating in due succcession on the antiquity of its different points with all the unction of an antiquarian who publicly unrolls a mummy."

Her Majesty's recent visit to Blair Athol gives the editor of this journal an opportunity of inserting an article on the subject of the splendid festivals that took place in the Highlands when any of the Scottish monarchs visited that portion of their do minions.

The object of this periodical is to blend science with literature, so as to adapt itself tc the tastes of as • class of readers as possible, Accordingly, in larg ' -!--.+ lfic essay on " The connexion addition to an able soft-- _ onlintry and between the Geological Structure of its Natural Scenery," we have here a series of cir- FREE CH URCII SUSTENTATION FUND. The following circular addressed to the sup porters of the Free Seceding Church, within the bounds of the Presbytery of Kelso and 'Lauder, shows the pressing nature of the necessities in which the ministers ,of that Church are involved by the scanty contributions from the majority of their congregation to the Sustentation Fund : Circular addressed by the Committee appointed by the Free Presbytery of Kelso and Lauder regard ing the Sustentation Fund. The Committee appointed by the Free Pres bytery of Kelso and Lauder to take into con sideration the state of the Sustentation Fund, must lament in common with all who are acquainted with the condition of that fund, and who are inte rested in its objects, that many of the congregations within the bounds of the Presbytery have fallen far short of the contributions that might have been ex pected from them ; and while they believe that one great defect lies in the managemen t of the Associations ; and while they would aim at stirring up these to greater activity, they think, at the same time, that the people generally are not aware of the deficiencies so often complained of by the Central Committee; they have, therefore, agreed affectionately to present the following address to the congregation within their bounds : Dearly Beloved Brethren,—We crave your atten tion to one of the most important subjects connected with the prosperity of our Church. You are all aware that what is called the Sustentation Fund is the united contributions of all our congregations, and from this common fund all the ministers of our Church receive their annual stipend. You can easily see that our system can only be carried out efficiently by the regularity of payments made throughout all our Associations, and by the resolution made and followed up by every adherent of our Church, to give as the Lord hath prospered him. We regret to say that in many congregations this has not been attended to, and the consequence is, that the state of the Sustentation Fund is far from being satisfac tory. There is, perhaps, no congregation in the Pres bytery who have it not in their power to be inde pendent of aid from the fund. That is to say, we be lieve every congregation might give to the common fund as much as their minister draws from it, and yet there is only one congregation in the whole Presby tery in this prosperous state, and some of them do not yield even one-half of their minister's stipend. It is plain that, if other Presbyteries were to follow our example, and if this were continued, our com mon fund would cease to exist, and each con gregation would be left to support its own minister, and a necessary consequence of this, very many of our weaker congregations would be dispersed. We believe that, generally, you are not aware of the defi ciency, and your ignorance of the state of the fund is unquestionably the very reason that it is not in a better condition. We think it will be enough, there fore, simply to make this statement of facts, confident that, when this is done, your liberality will imme diately supply the deficiency, and that every congre gation within the bounds of the Presbytery shall aim at being independent of the general fund, and at not being burdensome to others. Moreover, we trust that every individual will aim at the same praiseworthy and Christian spirit of independence. As we would not be burdensome to one another as congrega tions, we should endeavour Rot to be burdensome to one another as individuals—not depending on the bounty of others for the supply of those spiri tual blessings that God giveth without money and without price. This suggests a fact which we can not pass without notice, namely—that there are in dividuals in all our congregations who are living entirely on the bounty of others—individuals who give nothing for the support of the Gospel. We would not upbraid them—we do not seek them to withdraw from amongst us, on the contrary, we ear nestly invite them to come and be partaker with us of the same precious promises with ourselves, but we ask them one question—What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ worth to you ? In many families there is only one contributor; surely every member of the church, and every seat-holder, ought to feel his own personal responsibility in this solemn matter. While we crave your temporal things, dear brethren, in return for spiritual things, we would have you to remember that the Lord loveth a cheerful giver, and we seek no man's silver or gold but as the Lord desireth it to be given, even cheerfully ; and we are assured that all who h ave t as t e d that the Lord is gracious, and who have the spread of the Gospel of Christ truly at heart, will esteem it a privilege and an honour to serve our. Lord and Master with those talents He has committed to their care till he come again. - In conclusion, we would have you to remember that the cause we plead is not our own, except in so far as we are the Lord's, and have one interest with Him. It is IE4 cause we plead when we ask you to. support titi. Gospel- where-it is, and to send it where it is not. It is primarily for His sake we do it, as wc .are bound in duty to do. It is se condarily - for your own sakes, because we know some thing of the, value.of your souls. It is your interest much more than, ours as much more as s pi r it ua l things are of greater value than temporal things. We are not ashamed, then, to ask all who love t the Lord Jesus Christ, or who profess to love him, to give proof of their sincerity, in returning to Him 'a portion of what he has given to them. It is a small matter to us to be judged of man's judgment, and if any sh9uld impute secular motives to us in making bold to state our wants again and again, we have only to answer, it is the Lord's doing. He constrained us to forsake what we had for His sake, and having done it, we are assured He will provide the Gospel for our people by means of their own liberality.

The season of 1844 may be considered to have now formally come to its close—the ball of Thursday even ing being, in fact, the last of its summer appointments. The hopes of the sanguine --the apprehensions of the timid, are problems which time has solved. In most cases the former have ended in disappointment, while the latter havebeen abundantly realised. The review of the past six months appears, in truth, far from gra tifying; our season has been throughout a bad one, with scarcely a redeeming exception. The spas, even during the height of the summer, were, compared with former years, but little frequented —water drinking being evidently at a discount. The amuse ments were almost entirely limited to the musical promenades : with one exception at Pittville, nothing was undertaken at all approximating to those fetes and galas by which the course of the season was wont to be characterised, and upon which much of the pro verbial gaiety of the place necessarily depended. The balls observed their weekly appointments with due regularity, without—thanks to the Polka—per ceptibly retrograding from the average of 1843 ; at the same time nothing like a " brilliant" attendance was observable throughout the series. The floral ex hibitions were, as a whole, by far the most successful enterprises of the season; and, favoured as they were, from first to last, with fine Weather, proved more at tractive, and, we doubt not, more profitable also, than the shows of the two or three previous summers. But this, after all, cannot be accurately known till the day appointed for the " distribution of the prize money ;" —the Looker-On comes to his conclusions from ap pearances. Altogether the season just ended may be pronounced to have been the reverse of prosperous, comparing, as in sueh estimates we must necessarily do, the past with previous years. We turn, therefore, from the retrospect, and here still pursuing " with eagerness the phantom of hope, we expect that the deficiencies of the present day will be supplied by the morrow"—that, in short, the gaiety of the winter will compensate for the dulness of summer. It is, how ever, yet too early to predict as to th e p ro b a bilit y of its doing do,—a fortnight hence we shall have some data wherefrom to " arrive at conclusions,", and to calculate the chances of the future. —Cheltenham Looker- On.

Ile caster Agricultural Society.--(Loud cheers.) could give many instances of this sort, did time permit ; they were very striking in regard to the opinions held by the best breeders of cattle on the good and bad points of the animals reared for food or draught—but as he was desirous of saying a few words on a more important sub ject connected with agriculture ; the application of the sewerage of the towns to the improvement of adjacent lands—he should limit himself to a single instance. lie 11,1(1 been struck by an observation he had heard at York, in 1838, Peottt his friend Mr. Bates, the celebrated cattle breeder of Kirkleavington, that a beast with a quiet good-natured eye fattened sooner and more kindly than ono with a restless startled look. What, it might be asked, had the character of the eye to do with the acquisition of fat ? The physiologist knew that the eye was the index of the susceptibility of the brain within to outward impressions. The restless fiery eye indicated that greater degree of susceptibility ; everything startled the beast so charac terisecl, and it was constantly on the move. The muscu lar action quickened the respiration, a greater amount of oxygen was admitted into the system, and the organic combustion went on so rapidly, that the carbon and hydrogen, which formed the basis of fat, were exhausted as fast as they were supplied to the system, by the vege table food. The an i ma l w i t h t h e qniet good-natured eye took things much more easily, and accommodated itself 1 with as little trouble and movement as possible to the circumstances in which it found itself, Its digestion was not affected by excitement, its breathing was regu lar and not too quick—there was no waste by undue mus cular action, and no excess of oxygen ; and conse quently the combustible elements of the vegetable food were rapidly accumulated, and the beast brought, with great saving of time and expense, to the condition prized by the butcher. Gentlemen, I have said that I wished more particularly to offer to your notice on this occa sion, a few observations on the benefits to agriculture de rivable from connecting with it the best principles of the drainage and sewerage which it has lately been my duty to consider in relation to the improvement of the health of towns. I know no place better calculated to illustrate the reciprocal benefits which the inhabitants within and the lands without a town may derive from connecting the improvements of sewerage with those of agriculture, than the town of Lancaster. It is situated on a bill, al most every house has the advantage of a natural declivity for its drainage, and a rich tract of land intervenes be t Ween the hill and the river, which winds round the base. I allude to the marsh land; and it is not without feelings of regret, not unmingled, as a townsman, with feelings of shame, that it still deserves the name which it.has always borne. The thick mist that shrouds it at early dawn, and settles upon it at eventide, told too plainly, as I viewed that rich expanse from the windows of my present abode, that the common principles of effective drainage, now universally recognised to lay at the foundation of the productiveness and full value of' the land, had still to be applied to fields held in trust for the benefit of the town and its ancient freemen. In their present state the best land, yielding what is called the marsh grass lots for 4/, per acre, the greater part of the low land which has not the advantage of a natural de- , clivity, for about 30s. per acre. In Edinburgh the low land to the east of the city produces 151. per acre, Yet by nature that land Is of a poorer quality than our marsh lands. Here, then, is a capital fact, How is it to be explained ? Simply that the Sootoh, premising deep and efficient drainage, irrigate those meadows with sewer -water. . Gentlemen, our town marsh lands are neither efficiently drained nor irrigated ; nor is any part of the sewer -water applied to their fartilleation; the soil has become adhesive and deteriorated by the long action of superfluous mo i sture, wh i ch might so readily be drained offinto the neighbouring river. But without drainage, irrigation is impracticable. I fear that this word, which must become so important and significant in the science of agriculture, is new in that sense to many here pre sent. Mr. James Dean, whose evidence before the -Health of Towns Commission your will find in the volumes which I have deposited in the public library of the town, states that at Ashburton in Devonshire, where they have carried on the practice of irrigation for more than forty years, they have grass for the ewes and lambs a full month earlier than in most other situations not so treated, and at a time when lambs produce double or treble the price they usually sell for at other periods. In its present exhausted and undrained condition your marsh lands, I perceive, produce rushes, carex, and the comparatively innutritious stoloniferous grasses. You now can only amend the produce by the rude, laborious, and comparatively expensive application of solid manure as top-dressing. Efficient drainage alone would produce a diminution, and ultimately extirpation of the rushes and oarex ; irrigation would produce or promote the vigorous and effective growth of the peas, the fescues, and the vernal grass all abounding in nutritive matter, Consisting of sugar, mucilage and extract. Irrigation with sewer-water would be Followed by such a degree of productiveness as would unquestiens ably raise the value of the present marsh land, situated as it is near a populous and manufacturing town, to the value which land similarly treated has acquired in Edin- I burgh. Under the present system of sewerage of Lan. f caster, this lest and most important application to the neighbouring land is impossible. The contents of the town soughs and drains—which are as valuable when rightly applied, as they are noxious and detrimental when detained in or near a town by a bad system of sewerage—are ultimately received into the old millrace; this race, so named on the principle of the &ems a non lucendo, commencing from Dalton-dam extends through the lower pert; of the town from the Green Area to the old bridge, where it empties itself into the tidal river, At low water its contents flow sluggishly t owar d s that outlet ; at spring tides they ark driven• back towards their so urce I 00 liTlieisMAtlk. then. rise abundantly from Y (111 V 1in441 1 10 g u l l PholeS i the decomposed matter is hell mixed and agitated by this flux and reflux ' • and the vile odo urs o f t h e stream, which is, in fact, an elongated tress-pool, have led by degrees to the expensive operation IRELAND.

That your readers iu general will rejoice at this, and that they will unite with the people of this locality in cordially wishing for his Lordship's perfect and speedy recovery, I can have no doubt." SUBSCRIPTION FOR FATHER MATHEW. A meeting of the Irish Total Abstinence Associatiox was held yesterday evening, in the Arena, Abbey -street. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL, M.P. ' addressed the inc..-et.. ing at some length. When (h e sa id) the blessings which resulted to the country from the labours of great and good man became so apparent that they qi.)uld not be denied by any one, a meeting of the !) . 7-eat ones of the land was held for the purpose of emoting an enduring testimonial to Father Mathew. This project he (Mr. O'Connell) always considered a presumptuous and ab surd one, for Father Mathew's own virtues had already raised to him a memorial which would endure as long as one particle of common sense, or of common gratitude existed in the hearts of Irishmen. The undertaking, however, such as it was, caused a great deal of noi se at the time ; but wh a t was now found to be the fact ? It now turned out that of all those exalted personages who had sanctioned the proceeding, and talked so much about it at the time, not more than one -twentieth part had paid their subscriptions.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") So much for the aristocracy ! lie would answer for it, that amongst the defaulters there was not to be found a single Irish peasant, nor a single Irish tradesmen.—(likar.) It was the tradesman and the peasant classes of Ireland who had derived the most benefit from the philanthropic exertions of their great benefactor ; and now, that he was unfortunately in pecuniary liabilities, which ware incurred by his devotion to their interests, temporal and eternal, it behoved them to make some move with a view to rescue him from his difficulties. It would be a foul stain upon the Irish peooe—yea more, and upon human nature generally—if such a man as Faker Mathew were to be permitted to suffer in his purse, his person, or his peace of mind, for his glorious exertions in favour of humanity at large.—(Hear.) Something must at once be done. Money must be procured, and that, too, in a large sum, and by the accumulation of many items. The contributions should be small ; no man's subscription should exceed one pound, but the smallest offering— even to a penny —should be accepted. They should go systematically to work, and if they d R I su ccess was cer tain. If every m an i n reland to whom Father Mathew's philanthropic exertions had been the cause of content ment and happiness were now to come forward and to resolve upon giving him the value of one day's work, a sum would be accumulated which would not only extri cate him from his present difficulties, but would make him independent of all contingencies, and would afford him the means of gratifying his natural benevolence of disposition to his heart's content for the rest of his life. —(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded, amid loud cheers, by reading the resolution proposed by Dr. Gray. The motion was put from the chair and carried una nimously. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL moved a resolution to the following effect:— " Resolved—That every individual teetotaller present do pledge him or herself to devote one day's wages, as his or her contribution to :the fund for the relief of Father Mathew, and do urge the same upon every tee totaller of his or her acquaintance."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. JAMES IhuvarroN seconded the resolution, and having offered some brief remarks upon it, read the fol lowing correspondence, which was received Frith lona cheers:— _ _ , 4 35, Eccles-street, Dublin, Oct. 23, 1844.

We have received the following from a person who subscribes himself a " Constant Reader :" " OLDHAM, OCT. 31.—One of the most dreadful catastrophes which ever happened in this neighbour hood occurred this afternoon, by the sudden falling of a portion of Messrs. Rateliffes' cotton-mill. About half-past three o'clock the whole of the part recently erected upon the most modern principle instanta neously fell, almost to the foundation. burying every hand then at work. The magistrates are on the spot superintending the removal of the ruins. Up to this time (half-past eight o'clock in the evening) about 12 or 14 bodies have been found. It is not yet known hew many are missing, but report says 30 or 40. You shall know by next post." COURT OF SEWERS. A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of Middl esex , w as held yes terday at the Court-house, Greek-street, Soho square, J. L. Donaldson, Eq., in the chair. The Court was occupied during the greater portion of the day in revising the regulations imperative upon parties constructing sewers. The details are, however, uninteresting to general readers. A communication was received from the Holborn and Finsbury Commissioners, relative to the further deepening of the sewerage in the new line of streets from Long-acre and northwards. They declined incurring any expense for the increased digging, and stated that as the sewer now in progress would answer every present purpose, they would defer any further consideration of the subject at that time. The CHAIRMAN suggested that certain of the Com. missioners should confer with the members of the Mercers' Company, with a view t o get that body to consider the n ecess i ty of an improved drainage on their estate in a n d about Long-acre. The Chairman, Mr. White, and Mr. Willoughby, were deputed by the Court for that purpose. After receiving sundry reports of surveyors, and ordering the payment of certain accounts, the Court adjourned till next Friday. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last Night's Gazette.)
