ALLEGED - NEGLECT AND INHUMANITY TOWARDS SICK PAUPERS IN THE • WOODBRIDGE UNION POOR-TIOUSE. The "First Report from the Committee on Medical Poor-law Relief with Minutes of Evidence," has just been issued from the Vote-office. This Select Com • mittee, having had referred to them the petition of Thomas King (the heads of which are sufficiently set forth in an article which appears to-day in another part of our paper), report the same, together with the evidence of Sir John Walsham, Baronet, one of the Assistant Poor-law Commissioners. It is an instruc tive but a melancholy document. The first thing which strikes us is the affectation of lofty superiority which the Secretary-Assistant of the Poor-law Com missioners at Somerset-house. appears in this, as in all other instances, to adopt towards all complainants. In this wholesome practice we observe the Secretary to the Police Commissioners in Scotland-yard is also eminent. King is a schoolmaster, and is really too fairly matched, as an epistolary writer, with the Mr. Coode who answers him, to merit so marked a tone of somewhat insolent or patronising communication as is adopted by the latter : " Admiral's Head Inn, Ipswich, March 2, 1844. " Gentlemen, —Having forwarded to you certain docu ments containing further charges against the officers of Nacton workhouse, Woodbridge Union, I am much surprised at the delay that has been permitted to take place.

PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED._ THE ARMED GENTRY OF IRELAND. died, aged forty-two, on the 24th of December, 1843. 6. A charge against Mary Dunn, the nurse, for cruel conduct towards the sick children generally, and more particularly for having beaten a boy, named James Al derson, to death in 1840; and for having also beaten an other boy, named William Roe, so severely in the same year, as to rain him totally, causing the loss of his limbs, and his subsequent death. Those were the charges which were framed in the presence of Thomas King, of the master of the workhouse, and of the other officers implicated. I then called upon Thomas King to state whether he . was prepared to go into these charges. lie stated that he was per fectly prepared to go into them. and all the witnesses he suggested were subsequently examined upon oath by myself. Their depositions arc all here ; but as the papers are rather voluminous, perhaps the Commit tee would wish me shortly to state the course which I A return has been published of those persons in Ireland who have registered arms, under the new Act, to the amount of twenty stand and upwards. The list is amusing. It contains the names of the most prominent alarmists in the whole country, being com posed almost exclusively of that class, fellows armed to the teeth, like Richard the Third in the Tower, and " Signed, by order of the Board, "Thomas King, Woodbridge. " GEO. COODE." The next singular features of this Report are, that only one witness is examined; that he is an Assistant Poor-law Commissioner ; that he produces none of the parties, but gives in and comments upon his own notes of their examination, on their several depositions in writing. Was this the best course for eliciting truth ? Be that as it may, he handed to the Committee a letter from King to R. N. Shawe, Esq., chairman of the Woodbridge board of guardians. This letter, his own charges thereon, and the letters of the Poor-law Commissioners to the union clerk, well tell their own tale, and enable us to leave the reader to form his own conclusions on the facts at issue:— "Honoured Sir,—Notwithstanding my report of the conduct of the nurse of the workhouse of Woodbridge Union on Friday last, her cruelty and neglect has in creased rather than diminished. This morning a poor man, named llaggar, was found dead and stain his bed, although I entreated her to watch over him, as I was sure he was dying. She called me from my bed to as sist her to tie the bedclothes on him with a rope, that she might not be compelled to sit up with him all night; her general conduct is certainly the most cruel and un feeling I ever witnessed. I discharged myself this morn ing entirely, because I could not behold such treatment. This is the third time in twelve weeks four men have been found dead, without the least attention having been paid to their dying moments. I am truly sorry that such neglect has never been reported to the board by governor or matron ; the fact is, they are all equally guilty ; and it is expedient to conceal each other's faults, and, thus combined, deceive the guardians of the union. I am, however, fully convinced that you, Sir, will not permit your name to go forth to the world as an abettor of such cruel conduct. _ _ _ TABLE. DESSERT.

" You had better go on with the investigation, as you appear to have it before you.—Having framed those charges, I called upon Thomas King to give his evi dence in support of the fourth charge (namely, the charge against the nurse, matron, and medical officer, for having grossly neglected John Garrod), as the me dical officer was anxious to be released, and the copy of his deposition, which I will put in, will show the pur port of such evidence : " Thomas King, having been sworn and examined. smith :—John Garrod, an old pauper of eighty-four years of age, went into the sick ward on or about the end of October, 1843, the same day as myself. Nurse stripped him and put him to becL At.that time Garrod said ho had a bag containing 16s. 6d. in his pocket ; on the 28th November, Garrod, who had previously got something better, became worse, and took to his bed again. From the 28th November till the 3d December, Garrod had no clean linen at all. I told nurse of the want of the linen every morning. She answered that she could not trouble the matron for clean linen, as Gar rod had had his linen only a fortnight, and there was none allowed for a shorter period than a month. Gar rod's son, William, came in the afternoon of Sunday the 3d December aforesaid; I told him the state his father was in, and advised him to call upon Mr. Shawe, the chairman, and I requested him not to mention it down stairs. Shortly after William Garrod had left the ward the matron and nurse came into it; the matron said, What for is all. this piece of work about clean linen? I won't be blamed for nurse's ne glect. I laid out the shirts on Saturday, and nurse having neglected to come for them the porter put them back again. As for you, men, I will report you all to Mr. Edgar, and William Garrod shall never come and see his father as long as he lives ;' and turning to the nurse, she added, Give all these men a clean shirt ; they shall strip in my presence before I leave the room.' (This was about four o'clock, p.m., on the aforesaid Sunday.) As we had had only one candle for the six days from the 28th November to the 3d December, Linstead said in my presence to the matron, I have one favour to ask of you—allow us a candle in the room at night, as Garrod and King are often out of bed, and fall on us and hurt us ;' to which the matron replied, that nurse was to give them one candle a night till she ordered her to leave it off. " John G arrod required constant attendance, as from the character of his affliction lie could not perform the duties of nature without assistance ; and from watering his bed -he required clean sheets every morning. " About 10 days before he died, a gathering which Garrod had broke, and I told nurse that she hail better inform Mr. Wilkin of it. It is of no use,' she answered, to tell Mr. Wilkin about it, as Garrod is an old man, and he can do him no good.' I replied, It is your duty, nurse, at any rate, to inform Mr. Wilkin of it.' " On the following day, which was the next medical day, Mr. Wilkin did not come himself, but his assistant, Mr. Smith did, and inquired how the old man was.' When, as I was going to speak, nurse said, I have told him, King, about Garrod ;" upon which Mr. Smith di rected that he should be washed and kept clean. " On the next medical day, viz., Monday, the 18th De cember, Mr. Wilkin came ; and when he got to the bed said:A Well, how is old Garrod getting on?' No reply that I heard was made, and Mr. Wilkin said, He has got a great deal of fever, nurse, and you must not al low him any beer.' " After Mr. Wilkin went, nurse called me into a sepa rate room and said, As you have been attending to Garrod, who must not have beer, you shall have his meat and beer, and let him have your broth.' " And it was so arranged. At the same time, viz., about ten days before be died, William Garrod's wife brought him a cake, and on the Thursday before he died a loaf of bread, which he could not eat, and which nurse told me to take. " On the Sunday before ho (J. Garrod) died, William Garrod, John's son, came with two other men, and brought the old man half a pint of port wine with some biscuits and oranges. Nurse told me to take care of the biscuits and oranges, and she took care of the port wine. " The old man had some biscuit soaked in wine, which I gave him three times a day, about two table spoonfuls a time. This I told nurse was not enough to support him, and that she should ask for some sago for him. She said there was none in the house. As he got worse, I told nurse ho required more attendance at night, and she answered, that then I must attend to him myself, for she could not. I said to her that the nights were cold, and begged that she would ask for some fire. She at first refused, but afterwards went down, and on her return said the governor had company, and she could not speak to him. This was three days before Garrod died. On the following morning, viz., Friday, the 22d December, I told nurse that Garrod was worse, and she answered, ' I shall be glad when he is dead, as old men are so much trouble, that they ought to die when they can't do for themselves.' I said, Nurse, I am astonished at you.' And she the n sa id, You know what I mean, King ; I mean, that when they can't do for themselves, it is a good thing when it pleases God to take them.' " From about ten days before, I and Anne Davy used to wash him every morning till he died, and nurse was only present on two occasions whilst Davy and I were washing him. " On the Friday morning, the morning before Garrod died, nurse said, when we were putting on Garrod's clean shirt, I hope this is the last clean shirt you'll want.' " On the same day Mr. Edgar read the prayers for the sick in the ward, being the only day on which I have heard the chaplain read prayers in the ward. I used to read the Scriptures three times a day to Garrod myself. " On Saturday morning, the 23d of December, Garrod died about two o'clock, A.M. I went and told nurse about twenty minutes past two, and I helped her to lay him out. " Some time before Garrod's death, when his daugh ter-in-law was present, he told nurse that he wanted his money, to which she answered, The governor has got it; you can't have it.' Garrod said then, If you don't go down for it, I'll see the governor myself.' A few mi nutes afterwards nurse asked how much there was. He answered, There was 16s. 6d. when I came on the room. To which nurse replied, There is only 10s. now;' and on his exclaiming, ' Then you have robbed me,' nurse said, I have not told it, but you shall have what there is;' and, turning the money out before him, she counted it, and there was 13s. 6d. Garrod then told his daughter-in- law to give the nurse 6d., which she did, and he gave 10s. to the daughter-in-law to take home with her, leaving 3s. in his pocket. William Garrod also told me he would give me ls. when his father died, and he gave me this shilling, by nurse's permission, I having first refused. On the Sunday after the old man's death, nurse told William Garrod, who had more than once of fered to give me something, that lie ought to bring me some tobacco, and be did bring me an ounce.

Walsham's further evidence ; but we pray attention to the premises, and the conclusion from those premises, of the intelligent and merciful Poor-law Commissioners finding on Sir J. W.'s report to them, The notion of leaving it to such men to decide whether or not cruel charges are proved, is an absurdity of which we desire no better proof than their meek suggestion " of the views" they entertain to such delinquents as Constable and his wife, who had so long tolerated—and, but for King, would probably still have done so to this day-- the fiendish brutality of the nurse, Mary Dunn. "Poor-law Commissioners' Office, Somerset House, " 20th February, 1844. " Sir,—The Poor-law Commissioners have had under their consideration the report of the Assistant Commis sioner, Sir John Walsham, informing them of the facts elicited at an inquiry which ho held at the Nacton work house on the 24th ultimo, and on subsequent days, when certain charges against the officers of that workhouse contained in a letter which an i nmate of the house,, Thomas King, had addressed, on the 15th ultimo, to Mr. Shawe, the chairman, were investigated by the As istant Commissioner. " The charges, framed from Thomas Ding's letter, were these : " 1.

A charge against Mary Dunn, the mac, for gross " Intending deep suspicion." There is Lord Lorton with sixty-three stand ; trigger, perhaps, for every cabin razed to the ground upon his wide patrimonial demesnes. The Marquis of Westmeath can take the field with his peppering gamekeeper, in character and equipment like Robin son Crusoe and Friday. Lord Bernard is loaded with barrels like a brewer's horse. The Earl of Donoughtnore has guns enough to fit out the whole tribe of his "bl ood relations. The brave Earl of Glengall is bristling with all manner of mor tal engines, not forgetting the long bow ! The Earl of fosse has his telescope guarded, in the centre of his own well-garrisoned town, with pieces of the longest range. Some of the specific enumerations of weapons possessed by individuals are amus ingly characteristic. Edmund Staples, Esq., Dun more, Queen's county, boasts " three double-bar relled guns, six muskets and sword bayonets, six carbines, seven bayonets, one duck gun, three blun derbusses, five double pistols, and eighteen single pis tols;" whi;st a neighbour of his, ll. Waller, Esq., of Castle Durrow, rejoices in a still greater variety , namel y , " three ' double-barrelled guns, five single guns, three muskets, two carbines, two carbines with spring bayonets, one air-gun, two double - barrelled p istols, one single-barrelled pistol, one six-barrelled pistol, one four-barrelled pistol, four swords, four bayonets, and one blunderbuss." The famous "Lord of the brass-hilted sword" was nothing to Mr. Waller, of Castle Durrow. The best armed man of the whole lot, as far as numbers go, is James Pearson, of Ardara, in Donegal, who has 81 guns. As there is nothing in that country worth shooting except rabbits, Mr. Pearson has, probably, an extensive interest in the fur trade : and hence the sameness as well as the multiplicity, of his argument. But eighty-one guns in the Black North are nothing, by comparison, to the forty stand of arms possessed by Benjamin Lefroy, Esq., of Cardenton, in Kildare.—Abridged from the Dublin Monitor. 20s. Od. 168. Od. 7s. 6d. "It is a positive fact that the porter has been known to threaten the master, and tell him he could ruin him at any time, and that he would do so if it were not for his wife and children ; it is likewise true that the porter at one time left his office for two nights. in consequence of quarrelling with the master, and that the master sent for him again, and never reported such conduct. The con sequence was, the porter soon found an opportunity to gratify a base desire to seduce the unfortunate females in the workhouse (ono of whom bore him a child, which is still in the workhouse). For three weeks before Christmas, I had scarcely any rest, night or day, in con sequence of the severe illness of wo persons named Garrod and Chilton, whom I attended to, unassisted by the nurse. The man Garrod laid six days in his own filth, because the nurse refused to trouble the matron for clean listen. When his son, William Garrod, came to visit him, I told him to call on you, and report the state he found him in; he would have done so had you not been from home at the time; he, however, told the matron, who soon after came into the ward with linen; it was found necessary even to change his bed. None of the sick men had clean linen that week, as Master Samuel Con stable was expected home from London on the Satur day, and the matron was engaged in preparing for him. As soon as William Garrod left, the matron came and ordered every man in the ward to strip in her presence, and put a clean shirt on. This was done about four o'clock in the afternoon on the Sabbath ;lay previous to Master Constable's arrival. Tho nurse never did the least thing to assist poor Garrod during the whole time of his affliction, and very seldom inquired after him. His affliction was of that character as to require clean linen every day. About ten days before he died, I was assisted by a female pauper, Anne Davy, to wash him every morning ; and as he was unable to be removed, it was expedient to draw a clean sheet under him as he laid in the bed. Nurse told Garrod if he would give her some money, she would take care of him he pro mised to do so, and when the wife of William Garrod came, he requested her to give nurse 6d., which she did in my presence, yet afterwards did nothing whatever for him ; the medical officer never examined him, nor did anything for him, although he had a wound discharging at least half a pint of very offensive matter daily. The woman above alluded to was the only person who as sisted me to clean him every morning. Ile ate no food for ten days, except what his sons brought him I several times requested nurse to get him some sago ; but she said there was none in the house. I sat up with him the last three nights of his life, and never had my &othes off during the last week of Garrod's life. My care was divided between him and poor Chilton, who was actually starved to death. Mr. Wilkin ordered nurse to be sure to give him some sago : in the afternoon nurse told me Master Samuel was very bad with a sore throat, and she would be obliged to attend to him, consequently poor Chilton received no sago • I did not inform nurse of his death until she had laid ths bread on his bed, when she said, There's your bread, Chilton: then said, Nurse, he is dead and stiff.' SheAtxclaimedt r Oh. God! what shall I do.' I was so unutlriaffectest r as cq , render me incapable of doing anythigg, further, fZIr„ a time. Poor Chilton inquired if his St4o was come; I told him no. This was about an hour and tebalf before he died. He said, I am wholly starved! z Although I sat up to watch these poor unfortunate men three nights, I had no fire allowed me. As it respects the treatment of the sick children, this was (if possible) worse than that exercised towards the men, as in addi tion to neglect. they were beaten when they complained. In 1840. nurse beat an orphan child, four years of age, so violently as to cause his death eight hours after, and totally ruined another boy. " My dear Sir, I implore you to search patiently and diligently to ascertain the truth of these statements, for I have been careful to adhere strictly to the truth. " Did I not know that you :would do justice I would not write to you, but take other steps to expose such cruelty and wickedness. I have not entertained malice, but am utterly governed by a fear to God and corn misseration for the misfortunes of my fellow-creatures. " Yesterday a great many new patients were sent in the ward by the governor ; these will, no doubt, receive kind attention during the present week, that they may have nothing to complain of • their testimony therefore amounts to nothing. The only persons to be examined are Linstead, Bush, Flatt, and the woman Davy or Davies, and such children as I shall name before the Committee. I hope to be allowed to ask such ques tions as shall best elucidate the truth. Every refuge will be sought by each officer to mislead and deceive, but I confide in your judgment and benevolence to act with uprightness and integrity, for such a den of ini quity ought to exist no longer. I have not tasted food since yesterday morning ; it is now one o'clock Tues day ; probably I shall not receive any until I return to the house on Thursday morning. I am, honoured Sir, your most obedient and grateful servant, (Signed) THOMAS KING.' " (Witness.) After reading the foregoing letter, I proceeded to shape its various accusations into separate charges, as affording the best means of methodising the proceedings ; and these charges I framed as follows :- 1. A charge against Mary Dunn, the nurse, for having neglected to watch William llaggar, whilst dying, and for having called upon Thomas King to assist her in fastening the old man's bedclothes over him with a rope, so that she might not have to sit op with him during the night on which he died, na mely, the 14th of January, 1844. 2.

THE INSPIRATION OF A PINCH.—On the produc tion of La Sonnambula, Malibran and Templeton were the original Amino. and Elvino in England. and Bellini witnessed, on the first night, the triumphs achieved by his favourite work on an English stage. The composer came round to the stage, embraced Templeton after the performance, at the same time paying him the most flat tering compliments, and with tears of exultation pro mising him he would write for him a part that would " immortalise him." The method that poor Malibran took to inspire Templeton with a knowledge of dramatic effects was somewhat ingenious ; when she wished him to express rage, which she could not otherwise bring him to do, she gave him a hearty pinch on the arm, whilst appearing to the audience to bestow caresses, which of course her jealous Myer repulsed. On one oc casion he stamped with actual pain and rage, not under standing her motive; it produced a most electric effect upon the audience—a , hint which he has ever sine o acted upon.—Musical Review, ( • -.L...- - , / ...- ..../ ...2 . 172 /e. .-(__, 41: i ' - - ; / c , ) :17,' neglectigWilliam 1 24th December ___,.. a. xi r .•k iii ; mim ..., • ~..• ‘,.. 0 , .. j ,k - - fi , , s '• - •t, - 1 , , , t- --,•., \ ... 41, ,‘, • r •r• , • /• ' ' " "A ": - .\- ' • tki,... .- `7 ,... , , '''''- 4 .::‘ ... 11:r N‘ •, . o,k 7 . 11 '' ' tli_ . \ ?Ai 4r , .. 1:7 4.* :`,N L.,,‘ . , c.. ~,a _.l , ,t • 1 -,,fi r (1) , -7 ' ..A,i.' 7. ,, 'O 6 -= - _ , _ 7i ' ''' , A ';. - ",,e 'll \, \W r t ' 7 C. • r• I , •N r- , , 4 r ig L4,, , „ 4 , .. i ,AT - s - - \ $ • iv- - ', • , - ...

A charge against Mary Dunn, the nurse, fur cruel conduct towards the sick children generally, and more particularly for having beaten a boy, named Janes Alderson, to death in 1840 ; and for having also beaten another boy, named William Roe, so severely, in the same year, as to ruin him totally, causing the loss of his limbs, and his subsequent death. "The Commissioners, on looking to the evidence, and t the statement of circumstances submitted to them, have arrived at the following conclusions : " 1. That with regard to the first, fourth, and fifth charges (irrespective of the fact that some of Garrod's mosey was alleged to be missing, and of the circumstance that agar died when the bed-clothes were faster :e I over him by a cord), Mary Dunn, who then held the office of nurse, has been proved to have very culpably neykted Garrod, Haggar, and Chilton. Having reference to the sixth charge, the Commissioners think it proved that Mary Dunn struck with her hand a sick child, six years old, a short time before its death. The Commissioner therefore, entirely . concur in the course taken by the guardians in dismissing Mary Dunn from the ottiee of nurse. " 2. Adverting to the fourth charge, the Commissioners de , ,ire to state that the allegations against the matron, medical officer, and chaplain, have not been proved. " 3. The second charge, that brought against the porter ~f having seduced women in the workhouse, was not proved. The evidence of Mary Rattle is unsu pp orted and contradictory, and the tale derived from two name less prostitutes at Woodbridge, and told b y Thomas King, is wholly unworthy of credit. "4. The Commissioners feel bound to express their opinion that the third charge, that brought against the master, was not proved. " The Commissioners desire, however, to add that they have not failed to notice that the master and matron seem to have been ignorant of the gross neglect of the nurse in the cases before alluded to. " The Commissioners are assured that Mr. and Mr s. Constable are generally efficient and trustworthy officers, and that they have discharged their respective duties el as to merit the confidence and approbation of the gu a r. dians ; still, the Commissioners think that the facts dia. closed by the recent inquiry show that the master and matron have been, to some extent, wanting in vigilant* ; and that blame must be imputed to them for not fully satisfying themselves, by personal supervision and in spection, that the nurses duties were properly per. formed, that the last moments of the sick were accom panied by that attention which ought to have been run dered, and that fires and lights were duly provided in the, , ":position for whenever uardia th n e s yr o mraekrerene3fra.:nryd.

The Commissioners, trust that the di kindness and consideration which the int".; . ter and matron have hitherto shown, will prompt them (now their defi ciency has been expressly pointed out) carefully to avoid!, any just ground for future complaints, of which (if any should hereafter arise) the Commissioners would feel. bound to take much more serious notice." We blush for the public officers who could, upon% sucira case, subscribe such a document. COLONEL STODDART CAPTAIN CONOLL Y. Captain Grover has received a letter :rom Wolff, dated Meshed, March 24th, IVA, The Doctor strangely enough fell in with aaleh Mahommed, called khoondzadeh, whose statement of w h a t h e A said people had told him of the execution of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly was published in all the papers, and on the faith of which, her Majesty's Government erased the name of Lieut.-Colonel Stoddart from the list of the army, and the East India Company that of Brevet Captain Conolly from their list. The latter officer has, however, it appears from the last accounts from India, been promoted to a troop in the 6th Light Cavalry. The Doctor thus. writes : " Saleh Mahommed told me, that the two persons who were put to death, and of whom he gave u cir cumstantial account to Colonel Shiel, may have )-, een two other persons, and the executioner who te, ) ,d him the story may have belied him. Besides t„)':',s, I must confess that two things are suspicion , , to me in the extreme : he, first of all, told me that the executioner who told him the story had beep the executioner of Stoddart; on another day, when I asked him again which of the two executioners had put Stoddart to death, he replied that he did not know. He, more • over, makes a claim upon Colonel Shiel for 120 to mauns, which I have learnt from different quarter* he has received from Major Todd." Dr. Wolff takes presents to the King of Bokhara, to the value of between 500 and 600 gold totntrons ; and he appears to have acquired the good wish es and assistance of all the people with whom he. has been brought in contact. Ho thus relates remarkable circumstance : " I have written a most resPc_ctful letter to the Ameer of Bokhara, which I e:dall deliver myself ; in this letter I remind his I\l'.jesty of the hospitable re ception he granted to me, when at Bokhara twelve years ago, and of my boldly having defended him in England, and throughout Europe, when I heard him accused of being the murderer of guests. I also pe tition his Majesty most humbly to allow me to take back my friends to their native country ; or should they have died on account of some fault committed, to inform me of the nature of their crime, and to per mit me to carry their corpses to England, to he *buried by their relations. I gave this letter into tY,e hands of the Sheik at Islam of Meshed, who read it in the mosque of Gowker-Shah, in the presence of 5,000 people there assembled." 1 he Doctor also says : " A caravan arrived here some days ago from Bok hara, and ask whom you please, the invariable answer is—they may be alive, for nobody has seen theta executed; and the Goosh Bekee, or Prime Minister, who for five years was supposed to have been put to death, has suddenly come forth alive and well from prison. " The chief of the caravan of Bokhara, Mul)P.,l l Kereen by name, who leaves that city every /t wo month; and has a wife there, told me two dai s a go , that if any one asserts that he has seen the r,:xecution of the two elchies (ambassadors), he is a 3:iar." DUNCOMBE TESTIS ONIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu—ln your paper of last night there appears a paragraph respecting the " Duncombe Testimonial," in which you state that Messrs. Grote, and Co., the bankers, have given 1001. to that object, and that it is the Chartists who are about to raise the testimonial in. gratitude to Mr. Duncombe for his valuable services* in their cause both in and out of Parliament. I beg most distinctly to deny that such is the etre. The delegates from whom the Duncombe Testimsraial Committee was elected, were appointed by the irreious trades of London, to watch the progress of ',like in famous Masters and Servants Bill, and to r.dopt all the legal means within their power to opp ose and destroy that measure. They represerAed no parti cular political opinions, but were ceitnposed of men of all parties, who were unanimous In scarcely any one thing except that the above-named Bill must be opposed, and that Thomas Slingsby Duncombe was deserving the thanks and gratitude of every working man, and hence the proposition for a testimonial. It is true that the Chartist body throughout the United Kingdom are taking up the matter with grew,: spirit, at which the Central Committee are wr,is pleased—as they desire the co-operation of all me , , i o f all parties—and from this, perhaps, has arisen tb e re port that it is a Chartist Testimonial. It is true also that there are several influential Chartists v.pon the Committee, but they were elected at the gen'eral dele gate meeting of the Trades of Londrdn, an& attend not as Chartists, but as working-tr.en. In?aeed, I think the Chartist portion of the o:ommittee are more parti cularly anxious than the rest to avoid political disqv a. !,: . ,rman will not allow an y rem Ar k to iti can be offensive to th e opinion or s b o e ns m —and w t hi h%Ch privileges ~. .if any man.

A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster and part of the. County of Middlevex, was held yesterday, at the offir :e , of the Court, in Greek-street, Soho. The object of the Court being made special was for the purpose of considering the report and esti mates relative to the open part of the *King's Scholars' Pond sewer, and the other matter', in con nexion with the petition of Mr. Thomas Cuiv At, of the 2d of June, 1843, for leave, at his own r j xpense, to arch over 485 feet of the sewer, provided the Court would cover over an additional 500 fe e t, at the ex pense of the district. After some considerable disenssior,i, the Court came to the following resolutions " That the Court do arch over the uncovered tart of the King's Scholar' Pond sewer, between War-, wick-street and White's-bridge, Mr. Cubitt payi' half the expense, and that he be invited to send AA tender to do the work.
