It was more than gratifying, he said, to see such a man stooping from his hi h rank to perform virtuous and humane actions, and to add new nobility to the name of ASHLEY. After some remarks from other Members, Lord ASHLEY said, after the assurance from Sir JAMES GRAHAM that he would consider the subject next session, he would withdraw his motion. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved for copies of dispatches relative to the alleged plot in Guernsey against the life of the' Governor, General NAPIER. Sir J. GRAIIAM, after stating that there were grounds for believing that an attempt was to be made on the life of General NAPIER on the QUEEN'S birth day, trusted Mr. DUNCONIRE would withdraw his motion—if not, he should oppose it. The motion was withdrawn. Dr. BOWRING called the attention of the House to the state of the quarantine laws, and moved a resolu tion carrying out his views, which was agreed to. Mr. Ross moved that an address be presented to her MAJESTY, praying for the removal of Mr. 011huscor.i. from the commission of the peace. The motion was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, and nega tived, on a division, by a majority o f 33. _ _ Mr. DUNCOMBE moved that the evidence taken before the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry be printed, which was agreed to, with the understanding that the copies should be for Members only. The other orders of the day being disposed of, the House adjourned at One o'clock. The case of Mr. O'DRIscoLL, which has already been discussed in the House of Lords, was last night brought under the notice of the House of Commons by Mr. Ross, who moved that an humble address be presented to her MAJESTY praying for the removal of that gentleman from the Commission of the Peace. The particulars of this case of magisterial tyranny— which is about as flagrant a one as has come before Parliament for many years—must be well known to the generality of our readers; and accordingly we shall content ourselves with observing that Mr. O'DmscoLL, after having been proved, on unimpeachable evidence, to have acted in the first place illegally; secondly, with wanton cruelty towards a boy who, from all we can understand, seems to have given him no earthly offence; and thirdly, to have conducted himself with gross impropriety towards his brother magistrates, and then aggravated his offence by refusing to apologise till an apology was absolutely wrung from him—after having been proved to have committed all these multiplied offences in his magisterial capacity, Mr. O'DRIscoLL was very properly superseded by the Lord Chancellor. But how was he superseded, and in what spirit was the official communi cation of his removal from the bench made known to him ? He was told, forsooth, to consider that he was removed solely in consequence of his ill-health! It was not the magisterial temper that was an invalid, but the magistrate himself. On the receipt of this gentle and delicate communication, Mr. O'Daiscom. observed with emphasis that so far from his being in ill-health, and thereby incapacitated from the dis charge of his official duties, he was never in such ro bust health in all his life, as indeed he had triumph antly shown a short time previously by the vigorous and energetic manner in which he anointed the unoffending shoulders—as Counsellor PHILLIPS would say—of the boy DEMPSEY. But passing the excessive complaisance of the Lord Chancellor towards an indi vidual who had so grossly nsisconducted himself as Mr. O'Dxiscom, had done—and this, too, at an age when years and experience should have taught him th 3 wisdom and beauty of forbearance—what is to be said for the subsequent proceedings of Sir E. SUGDEN, who no sooner received a memorial from certain par • ties in the county, than he instantly reinstated the man v 4 ho, but a few months before, he had declared to be too much of an invalid to discharge his magisterial functions with the requisite spirit and ability ? Some of the parties, we should ob serve, who signed this memorial, lived at a distance of fifty miles from Skibbereen ; knew nothing of the feelings of the people whom Mr. O'DRIscoLL had outraged; and most probably had never seen that gentleman in their lives; and yet it was on the personal intercession of such men, which should not have been allowed the slightest weight, that a magistrate, notoriously obnoxious and ignorant of his duties, was replaced on the bench ! Lord ELIOT and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, both If whom undertook the defence of the Lord Chan cellor, made but sorry work of it; the latter, in par ticular, finding that plain prose was not sufficiently dignified for the occasion, had recourse to the lan guage of poetry, and quoted a panegyrical pas sage from DRYDEN'S " Absalom and Achitophel," which had every earthly recommendation, except that it had nothing at all to do with the case in point. This affair of O'DRIscoLL will not easily be forgotten in Ireland, affording, as it does, another striking proof of how little import ance the due administration of justice is considered by the official authorities of that kingdom. Under the flagrant circumstances of the case, Mr. O'Dals cora, having been once superseded, should never after wards have been replaced on the bench; and his re appointment can be looked on in no better light than as a mockery of the popular feelings of the county. I The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Liverpool arrived at Southampton on the 22d from Gibraltar; her dates of departure are—Gibraltar, July 14th; Cadiz, 15th; Lisbon, 17th; Oporto, 19th ; and Vigo, 19th. Ships of war lying at Gibraltar—Her Majesty's ship Warspite ; French steamer Veloce. Cadiz—French line-of battle-ships Jemmappes, Triton, Suffren ; frigate La Belle Poule ; steamers Asmodee, Pluton, Gassendi ; Danish frigates Thetis and Gefion ; frigate, name unknown. The Montrose arrived at Lisbon July 16, at four P.M. The intelligence from Lisbon is not important. The letting of the tobacco contract has been fixed for the 20th of September, and by the terms, which have received the royal sanction, all European capitalists are invited to com pete, and the term of twelve years has been specified for the running of the contract. Effective measures are announced for the suppression of smuggling, and a cordial co-operation in discountenancing all preju lice to the contractors is stipulated on the part of the Government. The Finance Minister had contrived to raise a little money to meet pressing wants. Accounts from Madrid of the 16th announce that the atrocious executions which had been carried into effect in Arragon and Catalonia had excited the greatest public indignation, which might ultimately cause the downfal of the despotic and cruel Ministry. Even some of the- Government journals condemn these unjustifiable acts of cruelty. Gentlra' MAURI, who is to command the troops now on their march to the south, had arrived at Algesiras. The Dutch squadron reached Gibraltar on the 6th, and some days afterwards left for the coast of Morocco. The Spanish Funds were lower on the 16th. The Three per Cents. were done at 261 for cash, and 261- at sixty dap; and the Five per Cents. at 20i for the 31st hist. We find no news of much interest in the Paris papers. The Semaphore de Marseilles publishes ac counts from Algiers, in a letter dated the 16th inst., which announces that Marshal BUGEAUD, provoked by the general conduct of the Moors, and especially the treacherous attack of the 3d, was concentrating all his forces, and preparing to make against them a definitive demonstration. The measures the Marshal was taking induced a belief that he would shortly assume the offensive. Some even said that he con templated attacking the Moorish camp on the follow ing night. The Sentinelle de Toulon states that the object of the Prince DE JOIN VILLE'S visit to Gibraltar was to request the Governor not to allow the British squadron to proceed to Tangiers, and that Sir ROBERT WILSON had acceded to the request. A circumstance not very likely, for we find accounts from Barcelona that the Formidable, accompanied by a steamer, had sailed from Gibraltar on the 16th, as was understood, fur the coast of Morocco, probably Tangiers. The National, in an article written with some care, and with the usual hostile spirit towards England, con trasts the course adopted by the French G overnment at Algiers with that of England after the victory of Lord EXMOUTH. After adverting to some remarks made on the subject in the English journals, the wri ter thus continues : " England appeared to comprehend that there was for her a sort of moral necessity to repress the insolence of the Alge nines, and that the only means of arriving at the complete abolition of the slavery of the blacks was first to abolish the slavery of the whites. But she still hesitated, and it was necessary, in order to overcome her irresolutions, for the example of the rigorous undertaking of the American squadron under the orders of Captain Decatur, to excite her pride. It is only then,' says M. Charles de Rota her, in his history of Algiers, that this Power determined to intervene in the difficulties which the Algerine Govern ment caused to the kingdoms of Sardinia and of Naples, and in April, 1816, Lord Exmouth arrived before Algiers at the head of A fleet of twenty-five sail, of which six were ships of the line. But, appearing above all, desirous of showing consideration to the interests of the regency, he only imposed on it in favour of the powers which England took under her protection—conditions but little advantageous and little honourable. Naples, in particular, had to com plain of the treaty which was then concluded for her.' Such are the results of the appearance of Lord Exmouth before Al giers. We have seen how the English mention the benedic- tion of the liberated Christians. A month later, Lord Exmouth appeared again before Algiers. This time, fortunately for the Christian slaves, he was grossly insulted by the Algerines ; the English Consul was arrested, and his wife and children were most shamefully dragged through the streets. Oran, Bona, and Calle, were ensanguined with the murder of several Bri tish subjects. Then the honour of England was at stake, and she determined to act at last with vigour against these bandits, whom she had hitherto treated with such conside ration. The details of the affair are known, as well as the magnificent audacity' of Lord Exmouth—audacity wonder fully favoured, besides, by the incredible ignorance of the Turkish gunners. ' But,' says again the historian whom we have already quoted, the glory of the English would be greater if the reproach could not be brought against them of not having done enough. Political men remarked at this period, that Lord Exmouth, in the very terms of his report, had simply received instructions to burn the Algerine vessels ; and that, being able to constrain this barbarous Government to destroy its fortification, and to renounce for ever its piracies, he had simply stipulated for an advantageous peace for himself and Holland, and the abolition of slavery. To add to her preponderance in Europe by this striking action, to avenge her own injuries, and still show consideration to a Power which might thence forward be subject to her, was the calculation of England.' It is seen by this how far England is entitled to boast of her disinterestedness, and incriminate our ambition. She did not retain an inch of ground in Algeria, it is true, but she had reserved to herself better than that. She had thence forward under her hand a band of robbers, whom she could at any time let loose upon all the commercial navies. We acted differently, it must be allowed. After having bom barded Algiers, we have kept Algeria; but piracy exists no longer, the Mediterranean is free at present for everybody, and the whole of Christendom is relieved from these shame ful tributes, which nearly every country paid to a chief of robbers. If we were to act in the same way at present with respect to Morocco, who could complain? England alone. But, decidedly, all the Christian Powers which are still in the present day the tributaries of this Government would applaud its fall, and would thank us for our victory." THE BOURSE-MONDAY, JULY 22.

The members of this highly-respectable club, who have acquired much popularity by their spirited racing at the Thames Grand Regatta, and at Erith, in the great race against the splendid crew of the Royal Artillery, yesterday rowed their pair -oared wager for a pair of very handsome gold oars, intended to be worn, we presume, as union pins, a bijou not unlike that presented at Henley, under the title of the diamond sculls. Seven pairs had entered the lists as competitors, and were chosen by lottery a few days ago, thus affording any gentlemen on the river who were speculative an opportunity of backing their opinion. The distance was the same as that chosen a few days ago by the Leander Club, the start being made from Vauxhall instead of Westminster bridge, and the race finishing at Putney. Messrs. T. L.

Cooper, R.A., who was umpire, and steered the club eight; and the whole of the seven pair went off very prettily together. Atkinson and his partner took the lead, closely followed by A. D. Cooper and partner, Dodd and his partner and Smith's boat being abreast of each other, and the others scarcely a boat away. In rowing up the reach, the leading pair immediately improved their ad vantage, and never lost the first place. A. D. Cooper and partner held the second place, until, in consequence of shifting their oars, a trifling delay was occasioned, which lost them their position. Moorhead and his part ner, H. Cooper's boat and Dodd's, all being well up, and a splendid struggle going on for the second place, which was obtained off the beginning of the the town of Wandsworth, by some very plucky pulling on the part of Dodd and Emery, who were pressed all the remaining portion of the distance by the third pair. Atkinson and Robins won by eight lengths, the three next having but little space between them. The Leander, and some other great aquatic clubs, accompanied the race.

Tl.e fate of this corrupt borough is sealed. It is stru'ek out of the list of representative boroughs, not, like Old Sarno:, because the electors were few, but because :hey were corrupt. We trust this lesson will have a; good effect. The symptoms already appear. The- Lords, last session, stood out manfully against the cUi'franchisement, but the Commons were firm, and the upper House was compelled to yield. What has the House of Lords to do with elections? An expres's • Act' of Parliament forbids the inter ference of rmy Peer at elections, and on what principle tem they interfere with the most important 01° all privileges belonging to the House of Commons, tl ek irrection of abuses in the representa tive system ? The Reform Bill, with all its defects, has done wonders. Sir ROBERT PEEL, one of its most determil ted opp onents, is in office ; but he is compelled toeortforrn to its principles. The Comm ons met at Twelve o'clock, and went into Committee on the Joiot-Stcck Banks Regulation Bill. All thet clauses were agreed to, and the report was ordered t be brought up oh Thursday. The Join t- Stock Companies Registration and Regulation B ail was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday,. at twelve o'clock. The report, .of the Railways Bill was received, and the third ref ding was fixed also for Thursday. The House then e idj ourned. It met again at five o'clock when Lord 1 WILLEY moved an address to the Crown relative to the.' report of the London Commissioners to the Lord Che akcellor on Lunatic Asylums. He entered into long d, :tails, showing the defective system of many lunatic , asylums, and produced some strange instances of c :ruelty in these establishments. Sir J. GB .k 1 lAA congratulated Lord ASHLEY on the manner in vvhi4 he had brought forward the motion, and his ben, tvc,lent purposes for the relief of the most helpless of the human race. The Government had the subject under consideration, and he therefore trusted his ITo ble Friend would not press his motion.

LONDON, WEDNtSDAY EVENING JULY 24: 1844 THIS DAYS NEWS THE LATE FATAL OCCURRENCE AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. ADJOURNED INQUEST. The jury, who had been impannelled to inquire into the circumstances of the late accident at Blackfriars-bridge, re assembled this day at one o'clock, in the St. Ann's Schoolroom, Church-entry, Blackfriars. Upon the names having been called over, the proceedings were opened by Mr. Joseph Payne, the Deputy-Coroner. Mr. Evans, of the firm of Newbon and Evans, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the Watermen's Company. The remaining four bodies, the subject of the present in quiry, were Maria Pulheston, aged 23, Benjamin Breadcott, aged 4, Mary Ann Breadcott, aged 10, and Rhoda Bread cott, aged 14. The CORONER said he would take that opportunity of stating his satisfaction that attention had been drawn to this circumstance there and in another place. He referred to the application made by Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton and re sponded to by the Lord Mayor, which he hoped would have the effect of preventing a recurrence of any similar calamity at any future time. The case of Rhoda Broadcott was first taken. Margaret Canning, 2, Holiday -yard, was the first witness examined—She was a married female, and was on the wooden bridge at Blackfriars on the night of Monday, from seven till nine o'clock. Saw Mr. Breadcott and his boy. The father was on the bridge next to her, and the little boy was stand ing in front of him. Witness also observed one of the girls, she believed the tallest, on one side of him. She was there at the time the bridge broke, and she fell into the water, but saved herself by clinging to the piece of the bridge that was broken. She did not see anything of the girl or boy after but saw Mr. Breadcott without his hat, being led along by the houses. She paid nothing to get on to the bridge. She did not think that on the broken part the people exceeded thirty or forty. There were a great many on the pier and barge, but that was the number on the bridge broken. She heard a slight crack, and the bridge seemed leaning on one side like a vessel. Heard several guns fire immediately before the accident. She made an observation to Mr. Breadcott at the time she heard the erack, but he did not hear her. Observed that one of the water men was active in turning off the children, but he seemed not to pay attention to the grown up persons. Did not see any money offered or taken for admission on to the bridge. She must have seen such had it taken place. The boys were collected ready for starting at the time, but they had not done so. Her opinion, judging from what she saw was, that the whole was an accident arising from the number of persons. She did make an observation to Mr. Breadcott, that she thought there were too many of them at that particular part of the bridge. By a juror—There were no passengers passing from steamboats at the time of the accident. The people stood in single line, and there was a pl ace left in the middle. Heard a second crack. which was a very loud one, and then she made the best of her way to the pier. When she fell into the water she clung to the broken pier, still holding her child, and she was afterwards rescued by some one. A gentleman tried to save her who was present there. She stepped on to a part of the wood that was still affixed, and so was pulled ashore. Mr. John Breadcott was then sworn—He lived at 23, New gate-market, and he was a butcher. The deceased children were his. Rhoda was in her fifteenth year, Mary Anne was ten years old, and the boy, Benjamin George, was four years old. All the thre e were w ith hi m upon thebridge, on the Monday evening. They paid nothing for going on it. The CORQNER said that the witness might make any state ment he pleased, as he did not wish to question him as to the whole painful paiticulars. Witness continued—He thought the place he was standing on was perfectly safe ; and he thought there was great neg lect in allowing the people to stand there. He saw no police men there, and he was not once informed that there was any danger. The accident took place in a moment, and he found himself, with his children, in the water. He was on the bridge about thirty minutes. Did not hear the last witness make any observation. Could not describe particu larly how it happened, as it was all momentary. Did not hear any crack before the bridge broke. He thought he might be about two yards from the stairs. There might be about thirty persons there. By the CoRoNER—Did not, while standing there, hear any person warn people off the bridge, or he would have left at once. • [The witness was under examination when our report left.] CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) George South, a cow-keeper, residing in Portland-place, Islington, was charged with cruelly maltreating a horse. Mr. Thomas, secretary to the Society for the Protection of Animals, Pall-mall, appeared to sustain the complaint. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant's horse strayed into the grounds of 'Mr. Peter Gentle, who seized him, and was taking him to the pound along the public road, when the defendant came up, and directed Mr. Gentle to let him go. Mr. Gentle refused, whereupon Mr. South flogged the horse for a long time in a cruel manner, endeavouring to oblige the animal to burst from his grasp. He did notsucteed, however, and was summoned for his cruelty. Mr. COMBE fined him 21.—The fine was paid at once. UNION-1 - IALL.-(THIS DAY.) John Edney, a commercial traveller, was charged before Mr. Traill with furiously driving and endangering the life of John Williamson, a lad, the son of a policeman. It appeared that on Thursday last the defendant was ob served in a gig, driving at the rate of twenty miles an hour, down the Kent-road. In the course of his career a boy named Williamson, happening to be off the pavement, was knocked down, and the wheel of the vehicle passed over both his legs, and injured th em very seriously, but, extraordinary to relate, did not break either of them. The defendant said that he had been struck by a person in a gig on before him, and that it was to overtake his as sailant that he put his horse into a gallop, when the accident occurred. The injured boy's father said that the defendant had ex hibited great regret at the accident, and had engaged to pay the surgeon; therefore he did not wish to prosecute. Mr. TEAILL said that he was bound to inflict some punish ment on the defendant, and accordingly fined him 405., and a further sum of 3/. for damage. FOOT HURDLE-BACING AT GRAVESEND-011 Mon day a foot-race for a silver cup came off at the Clarence gardens, at Graysend. The race was open to all England, and several of the most celebrated runners of London having entered their name to contest the prize, a very considerable interest was created. The gardens were comrletely filled with spectators, there being not less than three thousand persons present. The parties entered were Smith (the Regent-street Pet), Patterson, Makpiece, and E. Smith, of London ; Bad cock. of Birmingham ; and Clarke, Mitchell, and two others, of Gravesend. The distance to be contested was 440 yards, and to leap twelve hurdles. The men appearing at the starting-mark, the signal was given, and they bounded off with great rapidity. E. Smith, of London, came in first, and Badcock, of Birmingham, second. A melancholy occurrence happened to a young gentleman named Dewen, the nephew of a merchant in Broad-street, City. He had been in very low spirits for some time, owing to differences with his family, and on Tuesday night he eluded the vigilant watch kept by his family, and swallowed a large dose of opium, which induced stupefaction, and although medical aid was speedily obtained, he continues in a dangerous state. The Earl and Countess of Lichfield and their youthful family, who are still at Graffenburg, in Silesia, are not expected to return home until early in the ensuing spring. Lady Louisa Tennyson has been staying on a visit to her noble parents during Mr. Tennyson's visit to his es tates in Ireland.

As so many of the people of the United Kingdom are in terested in the welfare of those of their friends who have settled in the British colonies, the following extract from the Quebec Gazette, relative to agricultural property in Canada, will be read with interest : " The hopes of April which were disappointed in May and the first days of June; have been partly revived by dry and warm weather since the 10th instant. " The grain crops are however 'short for the season, and not of the most healthy appearance. The meadows have also suffered by the cold cud wet weather, and the grass, where the ground has not been well manured, is thin and short. Potatoe planting has been retarded and is not yet quite finished on low grounds. The early planted, in dry land, have come well forward. " The apples are formed in the orchards, and give the ap pearance of an abundant crop. Red plums, after flowering richly, have had the fruit blasted, as well as some sorts of cherries. Currants and gooseberry bushes are well provided with young fruit, but in some places catterpillars are trou blesome. " Garden seeds of all descriptions have come up well, and generally the produce of the garden is not unpromising. Early peas are in blossom. " .cime kinds of wild fruit promise to be abundant. Flocks of birds (the Bohemian Chatterer), are already at work. The whole tribe of chatterers are troublesome, and often do much mischief. Ripe wild field strawberries were picked on the 16th instant. "The produce of the:dairy, where the cows have been well wintered, is abundant, and the pastures good. " Although the promise of the season, so far, is not remark ably good, there is nothing discouraging, and with the quan tity of wheat sown, if it escape the fly, a great addition will be made to the most valuable produce of the country." There are some accounts from Port Phillip this morning, but they do not contain any news of interest. The Funds continue to be in a most buoyant condition. The Government brokers bought 10,0001. Consols at par, since which the market has receded a shade. The same re marks will apply to the value (f Consols for the Account. The other Stocks are a shade under what they were in the morning.

GRAHAM moved the order of the day for going into Committee on this Bill. Mr. J. H. VIVIAN moved that it be an instruction to the Committee that they have power to include high ways and county bridges within the provisions of the Bill. He quite agreed with the principle of this measure, which he looked upon as a great experiment, and one likely to prove very beneficial. He thought, however, they ought to go one ttep further, and include highways and county bridges in the operation of the Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM did not wish to embarrass the Committee with any consideration as to highway rates' and the manner in w hi c h t h ey should be levied. This Bill had received the fullest consideration of the Government, and it might be extended or altered in Committee, if the Committee should think fit to do so. Colonel TREVOR asked if, in case an abolition of certain tolls should take place in Wales, the Right Hon. Gentleman would be prepared to sanction compensation being afforded to the clerks of the turnpike trusts ? Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he was not prepared at present to say that he would sanction such compensation. After a few words from Mr. GIBSON CRAIG and Mr. WILLIAMS, the amendment was negatived without a division. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1 being proposed, in answer to a question from Colonel TREVOR, Sir JAMES GRAHAM said it was not the intention of the Government to continue the Turnpike Trust Cora • mission beyond the 29th September in the next year. Indeed, it was with considerable reluctance that the Government continued it to that time, as the expense of the Commission was defrayed out of the public purse, and not out of any local tax. The clause was agreed to. Clause 2 was also agreed to. On clause 3 being proposed, Mr. MACKINNON said he thought it would be bet ter to abolish tolls altogether, and substitute a rate upon houses in its stead.—The clause was agreed to. Clauses 4 to 8 were agreed to. On clause 9, Sir J. WALSH moved an amendment, defining the debts of turnpike trusts, but it was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, and withdrawn, and the clause, with verbal amendments, was agreed to. Clauses from 10 to 24 were agreed to without dis cussion. On the clause proposing the rate of interest in the Government Loan as 5/ ss. per cent., Mr. WILLIAMS suggested that the rate should be reduced to 51. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think that the conduct of persons borrowing from the Government could be taken as an element in the calcu lation of the amount of interest they were to pay. Colonel TREVOR would be disposed to agree to terms which would press more lightly on those who were to pay than those proposed in the clause under consideration, but he did not think that money could be got on terms more favourable than those proposed by the Government, MARKET . NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) j After a short discussion the clause was agreed to. On clause 39 being proposed, CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Colonel TREVOR said he would take that oppor lln to-day's market rather an extensive number of Mon- tunity of stating, in reference to the petition he pre• day's unsold samples of English Wheat were on offer; but sented before the House went into Committee, that he the fresh arrivals were very limited.

On clause 53 being proposed, Colonel WOOD (Brecon) said he hoped the clause would be withdrawn. The clause recognised an une qual tollage. He thought it would be better if the toll age was uniform. Colonel TREVOR thought the clause was a re lieving one. Sir J. GRAHAM said the clause, as now framed, was a relief to the toll-payers. (LEFT SITTING.) COURT OF SEWERS. A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster and part of the County of Middlesex, was held, at the Sewers' Office, Greek-street, Soho-square, yesterday, at twelve, o'clock, for the purpose of receiving a communication from the Hon. the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, relative to the metropolis imprOvements, and for other business. Donaldson, Esq., in the chair. After a variety of minor business had been disposed of, on the motion that the Court do sanction an order of the 25th June, for rebuilding 985 feet of sewer in Wellington-street, North, Upper Wellington-street, and Bow-street, at an esti mate of 1,400/. 95., it was intimated that Mr. Pennethorne, the surveyor to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, was in waiting in an adjoining room; he was accordingly called in, and The CHAIRMAN said that he believed the proposition of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to the Court of Sewers ' was a sum of 10s. per foot on 500 feet, and the reply by the Court had been that 1,0501. 9s. ought to be their fair and just proportion of the exp enses . H e w i s h e d to k now i f Mr. Pen nethorne was, on the part of the Woods and Forests, pre pared to amend his offer ? Mr. PENNETHORNE* begged to remind the Court that the proposed line of sewerage extended to other property than that of the Woods and Forests. The Mercers' Company were parties benefited. There were other parties also ; and they must remember that in making the sewers at an in creased depth, they were not so much benefiting the pro perty-of the Woods and Forests, as they were consulting the interests of the district generally. He had allowed 500 feet as the extent of their proper frontage ; but a reference to the section would show that it was really within that length. He (Mr. Pennethorne) based his offer to the Court of Sewers on a calculation of the cost of the work if executed by his own contractor. Mr. LE LIE begged to draw Mr. Pennethorne's attention to the 18th section of the 3d and 4th of Victoria, where he thought he would find that by the terms of the Act the Commissioners, of the Woods and Forests were compelled to build the new sewerage. Mr. PENNETHORNE contended that the Act did not require them to do so, and he was convinced that he had offered every penny he was entitled to. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Unwin, Mr. Allanson, and Mr. White took part, it was suggested by An Host. COMMISSIONER that Mr. Pennethorne should re tire until the Court had determined upon the matter in question. Mr. LESLIE said that that being an open Court there could be no necessity for such a procedure. Mr. Pennethorne was ultimately allowed to remain. The CHAIRMAN then at some length argued that the pro posed line would be of vast general utility, and that it should be at once commenced before the app roac h of winter put a stop to the undertaking. He would inform Mr. Pennethorne that it had ever been a rule with that Court in such cases as the one under discussion, where a street was widened, and one side of it entirely rebuilt, to allow the inhabitants of the standing houses the advantages of the new sewers. without a farthing of additional cost, and for this reason, that those persons were supposed to have been at the expense of the old sewerage, and it was therefore deemed but fair to give them the advantages of any new sewer which might be rendered necessary by an extended neighbourhood. This line, he was of opinion, was essentially necessary, and if Mr. Pennethorne would advance his offer to 11. per foot, he thought that they might then sink minor objections, and at once set about the undertaking. This was the time to do so, while the street was in a disorganised state, for, indepen dently of the additional expense, it would be rather foolish to wait until the street was completed, and the pavements laid, before they commenced their excavations. Mr. PENNETHORNE would, in order to avoid any difference, make an offer on the part of the Woods and Forests of 5751. towards the expenses of the line. Mr. Wm= was of opinion that the offer was a very liberal one, and ought to be accepted by the Court, and he would put into writing, and move, a resolution to that effect. Mr. LESLIE thought that the Act of Parliament he had quoted decided that the Woods and Forests should, in this case, build the sewerage at their own expense. He had no idea of entailing an expense upon the district for the mere purpose of benefiting the property of certain parties. He believed that Belton-street had formerly been a narrow and inconvenient thoroughfare. Now it was to be widened twenty-four feet, and the old sewers would be quite inade quate to answer the purposes of the new improvements, and therefore he contended that the Act was quite explicit on the point, and that it was imperative on the Woods and Forests to do the work themselves without applying to that Court for assistance. If they allowed this work to be commenced without the sanction of other parties interested, it might be afterwards a matter of considerable diffi culty so to equalise the demand upon each, that all would be satisfied. They might then argue that they could have constructed better sewers at a less expense, and they might think themselves justified in consequence in deducting a certain sum or sums throughout the piece. He thought the wiser course would be, before they commenced this undertaking, to have a specific report from their own officers accompanied with drawings; and they should haire all questions upon the subject satisfactorily answered to the, Court. He thought they should not go into this question on the present occasion, and one principal ground of his objec tion was that they had no proposition before the Court to' rescind the former order, which required the works to be commenced if the Commissioners of Woods and Forests ad vanced 1,0501. 9s. The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. White's motion approved of the offer made by Mr. Pennethorne. Mr. LESLIE begged to ask a question of Mr. Pennethorne. If the Mercers' Company, and the other parties interested in this line, refused to be their fair share of the expenses in curred, would he, in the event of his propositi on b e i ng ac -, cepted by the ourt that day, expect that the Court would complete the work, irrespective of the other parties ? Mr. PENNETHOENE said he should expect so assuredly. The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Pennethorne mustunderstand that it was in the power of the Court to rescind any resolu tion of to-day if they deemed it advisable to do so. But he thought they might proceed with the lower part of Welling ton-street, and, in the meantime, come to some arrangement with the Woods and Forests, the Mercers' Company, and the other interested parties. Mr. ALLANSON supported Mr. Leslie, and an amendment was moved on Mr. White's motion. The original motion and amendment were . put by the Chairman, when the former was carried by a majority of 3. Mr. LESLIE begged to congratulate Mr. Pennethorne OD his good days' work.—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the works should be at once commenced at the Wellington -street end, and an amend ment was moved by Mr. Leslie, which was, however, nega tived, after some discussion. Mr. LESLIE then moved the motion of which he had given notice—" That the works (from Wellington -street to Char lotte-street, Bloomsbury, ordered by the Court on the 25th June) on the eastern division of the Westminster sewers be the subject of a special contract after public advertisement, andrately that tendered he excavations and the construction, ic., be sepa t for." Mr. BYNG seconded the motion, which was opposed by Messrs.Unwin and Hawkes, on the ground that the Court had entered into an agreement with the present contractor until Michaelmas next, and that it would therefor() be unfair to turn round upon that gentleman Low in the way Mr. Leslie wished. The motion was ultimately lost upon being put from the Chair. The Court, after disposing of several reports, examining the contractors' books, &c., adjourned at a late hour.
