In consequence of the number of Commissioners required to constitute a court (six out of the twelve) some difficulty and delay is occasionally experienced. Yesterday the court summoned f2r half-past eleven was not open until h a lf- past twel4! and then only for the purpose of announcing a further delay until half past one. In the meantime the messenger dispatched succeeded in obtaining the attendance of another Commissioner, making up the required number.

The CHAIRMA N m ove d, pursuant to not i ce g i ven , " That the order of th e Special Court of Sewers of the 29th of August, 1849, b e rescinded. " Th e or d er has reference to the flushing operations carried on under the authority of the Commissioners; and the report as to their proceedings, now produced, would. be received and laid before Parliament in a few days, probably on Thursday next. The Secretary then read the following report :-- " Pursuant to the resolution of the general committee, that I should forthwith make a return to the order of the Special Court of Sewers of the 29th of August, 1849, as far as the materials for such return were already di gested and arranged, I beg to report to the Court the stage to which the inquiry directed by that order has advanced. The duty imposed upon me by the order in question was to prepare an account in detail of all the expenditure of and incident to the flushing works done *since the opening of the Commission of November, 1847, and of all the work done for such expenditure and under whose direction, showing the length of the sewers cleansed and, as nearly as may be, the quantity in cubic yards of soil removed by such flushing from its original place of deposit to its place of final discharge from the sewers, and to report thereon to the Court, with such remarks as might enable the Court to form an opinion as to the propriety of such expenditure. In order to ascer tain the most convenient mode of conducting the in quiry upon the passing of the order referred to, I pro ceeded to read the several reports made upon the subject by the surveyors, examine the contracts, returns, and pay-sheets, and conferred with several of the officers of the Commission and with others, with a view to acquaint myself with the general nature of the flushing opera tions and the successive changes which the system had nndergone during the period mentioned in the order. This preliminary investigation led me to the opinion that the most convenient mode of commencing the inquiry was to select one or two districts during the year 1849, when the system bad become to a certain extent ma tured, and to ascertain its operation in these districts by the examination of documentary and other evidence with reference to the F everal heads of information required by the order of Court. For this pur pose the eastern and western divisions of the Westmins ter sewers were selected, and I directed a re turn to be made for those districts of the sums paid to the persons contracting to cleanse the sewers within those limits, as well as of those sums paid in respect of expenses which might fairly be considered as incident to the operation of flushing, though this last head of ex penditure was one which presented considerable diffi culty, giving rise to much difference of opinion. To as certain the lengths cf sewers flushed, directions were given that a careful abstract should be prepared of the returns made by the inspectors during the period in question, purporting to show the 'lengths of sewers flushed under the contracts, and the number of times each sewer was flushed. At the same time I took steps for ascertaining, as nearly as could be conveniently effected, the actual length of the sewers mentioned in those returns, and directed a competent person in the office, with two assistants, to determine the actual length by a careful examination of the subterranean survey, the registers of sewers detail maps on a large scale, sur veyors' reports on works completed, and orders of Court. With respect to the quantity of deposit removed, I may remark that the returns furnished to the Commis sioners professed to set out the length and dimensions of the sewers, and the quantity of deposit removed ; and it is obvious that the whole value of this information depended on the accuracy with which these observations, as to the depth of deposit, were made. I, therefore, directed the clerks before alluded to to carefully ab stract the quantities stated in these returns, and, by the lengths as correctly determined and the actual dimen sions and form of the sewers, to ascertain the quantity removed; proposing, after obtaining this information, to examine the parties by whom and in whose pre sence the deposit had been measured, to learn whether this operation had been so conducted as to justify confidence in its accuracy. The inquiry thus commenced was proceeding at the time the first Metro politan Commission of Sewers was superseded. After the issuing of the present Commission, my time was so much engrossed by the current business of the Commis. sion that - I found it impossible to take any active part in the investigation, though I from time to time examined the work as it proceeded. This continued until within a few weeks of the resolution of the House of Commons requiring a copy of the return of the above order. I may venture to remind the Commissioners that among the earliest instructions to the engineer, after his appoint ment, was that he should direct his especial attention to the flushing works, and within a very short time it was determined by them to effect an alteration in that sys tem, and in the month of --, in the present year, it was placed upon an improved and more economical foot ing. The present Commissioners having decided upon the course to be taken in reference to this matter, thus effected the chief object to which the inquiries directed by the order of Court were intended to lead. The officers selected for this duty have now carefully ascertained, by reference to the documents I have named, the actual length of each sewer in the eastern and western divisions of Westminster returned by the flushing inspectors as having been flushed during the period under considera tion, and by taking the n um b er of times each sower was stated to have been flush e d they have shown the total number of lineal feet flushed in the above named divi sions during that period. They have also given certain results as to the quantity of deposit removed in cubic yards, but on this it newt be observed that the value of these depends on the correctness of the depth of deposit stated in the returns, :which returns were made by the flushing inspectors themselves, and the accuracy of this portion of them I have up to this time had no opportunity of te s ti ng. the officers above refer re d to, It th isatiheinrdeetu9drn' i stated are ro ): neous so far as regards the quantity of deposit removed t 0.3 w t a n k r e , w into h account a 1 t a h r e , v e a g r g i -- — a t i i o n n a s i m n u th eh e a s a ha t p h e ey of enl th it e shaped, or with segmental inverts—that they treated all sewers as square, and consequently exhibit a consider able excess of deposit over what would have been shown if the measurement had been taken with reference to the actual form of each sewer. On the other hand, the officer who had the charge of the flushing works alleges, that the practical difference by either method of mea surement was, for various reasons, inconsiderable. But it was never attempted to do more than give a rough approximation to the truth, as the question of quantity did not directly bear on the contract, but was merely important with reference to certain collateral objects; that from the irregular shapes which the deposit assumes at the bottom of sewers, the numerous defects in the sides and inverts of the open sewers by decay and other causes, and the fact that the measurements were taken in the middle of the sewers, the qua n ti t i es returned are rather under th an over th e mark; and he, moreover, states that whenever reference was made to them in former reports to the Commissioners, the gross quantities were however d onbt, true always c o n s id era bl y reduced. It deposit,was, rio that the qu es ti on o f th e quantity n im portant for the purpose of determining the relative coat of the different systems, bad nothing whatever to do with the contracts under which the work was performed. These contracts were to keep the sewers ciean, or to prevent deposit from accumulating in the sewers within a certain district, at a given sum per week, and payment was agreed to be made on the certificate that such n t l r a a t c i t n , g either for work had been performed. Neitherthelengthof the sewer cleansed, nor the quantity of deposit re moved, was any e lement tor determining final payment t the, h o e r regulating vances. It appears to me, however , very questionable whether there is any mode of ascertaining the quantity of soil in cubic yards removed from its place of original deposit to its place of final discharge, as directed by this re turns relative to the Surrey and Kent district have been yet been taken for part of the order of the Court.

The quan tity of cubic yards is stated in this division at 17,767; but the observations already made on this point again apply. The detailed particulars, locality of sewers, con tractors' names, &c., will be found in the returns ap pended thereto. If the Commissioners should direct tla'at the inquiry should be further prosecuted I will en deavour, as far as practicable, to satisfy the minute re quirements of the order upon the subject; but I venture to remark that the consequence of so doing will be to consume so much valuable time as materially to impede the general business of the Commission and to necessi tate additional expense. If the Commissioners should be pleased to decide upon ordering the return to be completed, I beg respeetfully . to observe that the present staff of officers is inadequate for the purpose, and that it will become indispensable that I should be furnished with additional assistance. I have the honour to be, my Lord and Gentlemen, yciur most obedient servant, , " E. H. WOOLRYCH, Secretary. ," To the Hon. the MetropOlitan Commissioners of Sewers." This report was agreed to, and ordered to be pre sehted to the House of Commons. Upon the motion of Mr. LAWES the report as to the drainage of the southern side Of the metropolis was formally received and adopted, and the works ordered . to be commenced with the least possible delay. Mr. HAWES said that it was very important, in car rying out works of, this magnitude, that they should be' executed with as little delay as possible. They had seen enough of these kinds of works in the metropolis to know that the moment any delay took place alter ations were proposed entailing a great expense and frequently much disappointment. He hoped that this great work, which had been agreed upon after due consideration, would be carried out with vigour, and as , quickly as possible. Capt. HARNESS said that it was erroneously stated that the drainage of the southern side of the metro polis would cost 500,0001. The cost would be only 241,0001., or, in round numbers, 250,0001. Mr. HAWES said that it would be requisite to bor row 250,0001., and this had been, by mistake, pub lished 500,0001. He was anxious to guard against misapprehension on that point. The following works were then ordered by the Court :-450 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in Webber street, Southwark, cost 441.; 250 feet of 15-inch pipe in the open ditch near Battersea-bridge -road, cost 371.; 700 feet of sewer 3 feet 9 inches by 2 feet 3 inches, and , 1 2 --brick thick, in Goldsmith's-place and Margaret-place, Hackney, 2921. ls. 6d.; the old sewer on the east side of High-street, Camden-town, between Fig-lane and the "Mother Red Clip," to be filled up and destroyed, cost 1501. ; 730 feet of sewer, 3 feet 9 inches by 2 feet 3 inches, and half-brick thick, in Foley-street, Marylebone, 3621.; 380 feet of sewer, 3 feet 3 inches by 2 feet, and 100 feet of 12 and 9-inch pipes, in ror chester-place, St. James-street, Paddington, 105/. ; 1,180 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in the open sewer behind Blue Anchor-road and Spa-road, Bermondsey, and 620 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in John's-place, Bermondsey, cost 2201. ; 670 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer, with new gully, in Deptford-lane, 751. • 300 feet of 12. inch pipe in Bend er - s t ree t, Old Kent road, 451., and two gullevs, 10/. ; 370 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in Commercial-road, Rotherhithe, 30/. ; 720 feet of 12-inch and 200 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in New-street, Kennington-road, 1281.; 730 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in South-place, Kennington road, 110/. ; 820 feet of 9-inch pipe' sewer in Dod dington-grove, Kennington-road, 821. ; 350 feet of 15-inch pipe sewer in George-street; 730 feet of 15- inch ditto in Broad-street, 320 feet of 15-inch ditto in Jonathan-street, 500 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in Glasshouse-street, 120 feet of ditto in Vauxhall walk, 520 feet of ditto in High-street, 690 feet of ditto in Anderson's--walk, 120 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in Tyers-street, 250 feet of ditto in Cross street, 1,280 feet of ditto in Vauxhall-walk, 580 feet of ditto in Vauxhall-row, 450 feet of ditto in Sala manca-street, 400 feet of ditto in Lower Fore-street, 1,150 feet of ditto in Upper Fore- street, and 1,070 feet of ditto in Princes-street, estimate 1,085/. ; 300 feet of 12-inch and 480 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in Francis-street, St. Mary, Newington, 1201. ; 410 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in Berners'-mews, Oxford street, 1.231. ; 160 feet of open sewer at the back of Pembroke-square, Kensington, 34/. ; 1,210 feet of 12-inch pipe at Turnham-green-terrace, 113/.

Williams (1850), to the Apollo troop-ship Ports mouth. Master—Charles J. Parker (1841), who was promoted for services in China, to the Dauntless, vice Vincent Williams, who has declined the appointment. The Board of Admiralty will commence their annual tour of inspection of the dockyards and ports at the latter end of the present week. Arachne's (18) bottom having been completed at De. vonport, she was taken out of No. 2 dock on Monday morning, and the Ringdove, 12, was taken in the same tide to be broken up. Kestrel, 4, brigantine, Lieutenant Commander Baker, would not have been paid off at Devonport, but on examination she was found defective. As we have stated, orders have been received to pay her off, after which she is to be carefully surveyed and her actual state reported. The Vengeance has received her mizenmast at Ports mouth, and will be brought into the Angle Dock to-day. 'The Termagant, steam frigate, was removed from it:yes terday, the beams having been placed over her engine for stepping her mainmast seven feet further forward. The Termagant will be masted and prepared again as an advanced steamer. The Seaflower cutter and buoy-boat were undocked at Portsmouth, on Monday. The Fire Queen, iron steamer, was docked at Ports mouth, on Monday, to have her bottom examined. She was payed over with Mr. Hay's composition eight months back, and has been lying in the dirty water of the harbour for the last two months; but her bottom was perfectly free from barnacles and weeds. There was a slight coat ing of soft brown soapy matter on it, which came off with the lightest touch of a mop. There was no oxide, and the varnish was hard and perfectly smooth; altogether, the iron was as clean as the copper sheathing of ships is after lying up the harbour for a considerable time. She is to be again payed over with Mr. Hay's composition. We understand the Government have some intention of purchasing the yacht Nancy Dawson, lately returned from the Pacific, after having been of much assistance in the Arctic regions to the Herald and Plover. She will be placed (if purchased) to run between the river Plate and Rio, in room of the Kestrel. We hear she was surveyed by the authorities on Friday last. She is a safe, wholesome little vessel, but some of the revenue cutters, now being; paid off, would answer the purpose of carry ing the intermediate mails in South America just as well as the Nancy Dawson. The Dauntless was commissioned on Monday at Ports mouth. She is rigged, and will soon be ready for ser vice if required. The Retribution also hoisted the pendant on Monday at Portsmouth. Captain Warden having joined, the shipwrights have something to do to her, altering her spirit-room, hatch, &c. She will now make a useful vessel, and carries a sufficient armament:— On her main-deck l2 guns, 32-pounders ,9 feet, 50 cwt. „ Quarter-deck ... 7 guns, 8 inches, 9 feet, 64 cwt. „ Forecastle shot, 95 cwt. 7) If If 2 guns, 8 inches, 9 feet, 64 cwt. Total 22 guns. With 2 brass 24-pound howitzer guns.. The riggers of the yard are fitting her. The Inflexible has not yet sailed from Portsmouth for Plymouth, the Alban not having arrived. The Alfred, Indiaman, arrived from the River at Portsmouth yesterday morning, outward bound. The Downshire, Indianan, was also coming in. The Bombay sailed for the Cape and Bombay from Portsmouth on Monday. The Blackwell, Indiaman, was beating up to Spithead, yesterday. dto be re an The Apollo is by o h rd t er e ed lo t t o h be of refitted septemr. be at Portsmouth, An ordinary boat, belonging (we believe) to the Col lingwood, was capsized in Portsmouth Harbour on Sun day afternoon; were ernoo having iron ballast in s h e sank, b ut the people saved. On Monday mor n i ng t h e b oat was n picked up, bottom upwards, with her m as t an d sail set, by the coast-guard, on South-sea beach. She was drift ing out with the ebb-tide, and not injured. She had, it i s supposed, rolled over, and her ballast having got out, she floated and drifted with the ebb-tide. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. —The Fire Queen, steam yacht, has been taken into the dock vacated by the Sea flower to day to have her bottom scraped and to be re paid with composition. The Bombay convict-ship sailed from Spithead this afternoon for Cowes, to embark prisoners, &c. The New York packet sailed from Spithead last I evening. The Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander Dyke, sailed from Spithead this evening, for Plymouth, en route to the West India, station. Wooewien, Auc. 13.—Mr. Thomas Crouch, senior extra clerk at Woolwich dockyard, has been placed on the establishment as a third-class clerk. The crew of the Perseus receiving-ship, recently lying off the Tower of London, and commanded by Lieutenant Greet, were paid off to-day at Woolwich. The Advice and the Jasper steam-vessels went up the river yesterday to John Penn and Sons' establishment, adjoining Deptford Dockyard, and passed Woolwich this morning at a qurter before six o'clock, having the Tiger steam-sloop, fitted with engines of 400-horse power by that firm, in tow to take her to Sheerness to be made ready for sea. The Lords of the Admiralty intend visiting Woolwich Dockyard to- morrow, and will afterwards embark in the Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, and proceed to Sheerness. The Firefly steam-vessel had her steam up in the basin to-day, and is now taking on board a supply of coals. Vessels in the Harbour, in Commission—Fisgard flag ship, Black Eagle and Lightning steam-vessels. Not in Commission—Hydra, Jesper, mad Advice steam-vessels, and the Mastiff. In the Basins —Rosamond, Monkey, Dwarf, Firefly, Miex, Buzzard, L ocus t, P o lyphemus, and Geyser steam vessels. In Docks—Wasp, Princess Alice, and Alecto steam , vends. PLYMOUTH,' Ara. 12.—Ifer Majesty's frigate Trin comalee, 28, Captain Warren, came in from Portsmouth on Friday, and was on Saturday towed from the Sound by tha Avon, steamer up liamoaze. On approaching the eastern shore near the dockyard, and when round ing, the strong flood tide caught the Trincomalee under her quarter, and the masts of the Avon got in contact with the packet- brig Crane, which was on the Larboard Side of the Argo receiving -hulk, lying just off Forward Point. The Crane lost her flying jib and jib boom, and received other damage. The Avon carried away her ensign staff. The Trincomalee is now moored at the Rubble Bank moorings, near Mutton Cove. She will be paid off on Friday. The steam-frigate Stromboli, Capt. Lord Amelius Beauclerk, came in from Pembroke yesterday, and sailed again in the afternoon for Portsmouth. T4ie Wizard, 6, is in the Sound, waiting hands to navigate her to Cork, for the use of the naval appren tices there. The Clarence on Friday was placed in the Union Dock for repairs. The Hibernia, having been repaired, was taken out of dock on Wednesday. Wind N.W., thunder showers. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Colour-Sergeant Robert Taylor, Ist battalion, 12th Foot, is appointed second ward-master in the garrison hospital at Chath am , v i ce outpensioner Johif Wyse, discharged. On Sunday afternoon the head-quarters of the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade marched into the garrison, with their band, from Gravesend, consisting of 5 staff sergeants, 16 sergeants, 9 buglers, and 243 rank and file, under command of Lieut.-Colonel S.

The only death at sea was that of private Richard Brown, Rifle Brigade, who died on the 10th of June. The head-quarters of the brigade, after being medically inspected by the Deputy Inspector-General at Fort Pitt, will remove to Canter bury barracks. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY. TIIE HARVEST.—The accounts of the potato are gene rally less unfavourable; but some, from Tipperary and Wexford especially, are quite disheartening. A letter from Nenagh says—" The potato crop is more than half gone in tr•lis neighbourhood." On the other hand, a letter from Macro= mentions that the potato fields in that quarter, since the heavy rain, are again wearing a healthy appearance. The Cork Reporter has an account to the same effect from Blerney, where, it is stated, " several fields iu which the symptoms of disease had ap peared have since the rain of the last few days begun to look healthy once more, and the diseased stalks to ac quire new verdure." Altogether the reports are more favourable than might have been expected, as regards the cereal as well as the potato crops. Wheat is deficient in most parts of the southern and midland counties; but appears to be a pretty fair crop i❑ Down and other norther counties. Oats are everywhere a very fine crop. SUICIDE OF A MILITARY OFFICER.—CoIoneI Beau champ, an officer of long and distinguished service in the Peninsula, but for acme years retired from the army, committed suicide at an hotel in Dawson-street, on Sun day last, in a fit of temporary insanity, produced by a severe attack of erratic) gout. BRAY HEAD ESTATE.—The mansion-house of Mr. Putland, at Bray Head, with 47 acres of land, has been purchased for 7,5001. by Aliss Ball, sister to Judge Ball, who is at the head of the Loretto Convent, at Rathfarn ham, near this city. THE CGrFE - sTitEET SAVINGS BANK CASE.—Yester day the City grand jury found true bills against John Emanuel Hughes for embezzlement, as cashier of the Cuffe-street Savings Bank. ATTACK ON A CLERGYMAN IN THE MARINERS' CLIUKCH.—On Sunday, during the performance of Divine worship in the Mariners' Church, Kingstown, a woman, whose name was subsequently ascertained to be Sarah Adams, entered the church mentioned, and took her seat near the reading desk. In a short time after she stood up and exclaimed, while the Rev. John Massy was reading, " Silence, air 1 Why do you lead the peoplo astray, having no sacrifice ?" and rushing on suddenly, she made a blow at his head with a stick, which he avoided by a sudden movement. She made three other blows at him before she could bo seized upon, when she was removed from the church in custody of a constable. The congregation was greatly alarmed, and the worship was interrupted for a con siderable time. She was brought up in custody on Mon day, before Mr. Wyse, at the police-office, Kingstown, when upon the examination of witnesses it was ascer tained that she was labouring under the effects of in sanity. She pleaded guilty—uttered some incoherent sentences evincing disappointment at not accomplishing the act she intended to perpetrate, and on the informa tion of the Rev. Mr. Massy, who only desired to have her placed under protection, she was committed, with the view to her removal to a lunatic asylum. She declared she was a Roman Catholic, and had a mission to root out error.—Saunders's News Letter. DUBLIN STOCK AND SHARE MARKET.—SaIes yester day—Three per Cent.

GRAVESEND, AUG. 13.—50 much suspicion is now attached to the origin of this most destructive confla gration, involving a loss, as this day's further inquiry has elicited, of little short of 100,0001., that the ma gistrates of the borough felt it to be their imperative duty to suggest to the coroner (Mr. J. G. Hilder) the necessity of holding an inquest to ascertain how and in what house or place it had originated. The coroner, as we have learnt, expressed his willingness —nay, his anxious desire—to hold such inquest, so many very destructive fires having within some ten years occurred in the town, but was diffident in doing to, seeing that the corporation might, as was done in the city of London, repudiate payment of the expenses of such inquiry, should he hold it. He, very properly it would seem, required a guarantee on the part of the corporation for the payment of expenses, but up to this hour, six o'clock P. M ., we h ave no t been able to ascertain whether such guarantee has been given. Doubtless it will yet be given, as the Mayor is ac tively engaged in promoting an inquiry before the coroner, assuming that public officer to be the proper person before whom it should be legally instituted. In the meantime an active and close investigation has been going on during this day before the Superinten dent of Police (Nr. North) as to the origin of the fire. All the statements made to him were by persons who, htting witnessed the outbreak of the fire, came vo luntarily forward, or on the invitation of the police officer. To-morrow the magistrates propose to take the evidence of these persons, so as to ascertain from it the necessity of holding an inquest by the coroner. We subjoin a letter from Mr. Reed, to whom refe rence was made in our yesterday's report:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As an inquest is to be held as to the origin of the late calamitous fire at Gravesend, I will refrain from any observation here in reference to its origin, but as an allegation " that I had left the town, or, at least, not been seen since the fire," contained in your journal of this day, is calculated to raise a strong im pression against my character, and an inference that I shunned an inquiry, I beg to. inform you that im mediately after myself and family escaped from my late premises we went to the Rose Tavern, next door to the Town-hall, which place we left in a public cab yesterday forenoon for my present lodgings, No. 22, Parrock-street, previously leaving with the landlord, Mr. Lewes, a written address of where I was to be found. Trusting to your sense of justice for the insertion of this letter,—l am, Sir, yours &c., M. W. REED. 22, Parrock-street, Gravesend. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sru,—Allow me to state that this office lost about. 2,0001., and not 6,0001., at the fire at Gravesend, as reported in your columns to-day. I am, Sir, yours &c., THOMAS A. BURR. Kent Mutual Fire Insurance Society, 6, Old Jewry, August 13. A WISE MAN ASFIRING TO THE PAPACY:Dr Wiseman (the Roman Catholic Bishop, a pamphlet of whose was sedulously distributed among the Anglo-Catholics of St. Martin's Hall), has been made a cardinal; whereby hangs a tale. It is said that our ambitious countryman aims at filling the chair of St. Peter itself, and that when he is seated in it the celibacy of the Romish clergy is to be abo lished, thereby removing the chief stumbling block in the road to Rome of so many priests of the Church of England and in Scotland.—Manchester Examiner and Ti»zes. CASED WINES.—An importation having taken place of a parcel of French wine in caps, which: were , su bsequently to their being housed in the bonding warehouse, found to contain considerably less than two gallons to the dozen, as usual in such cases, the importer requested permission for one nr more of the cases to be measured as a guide for the whole quantity. It was considered that the request could not be complied with. 0 . 4141 ------ I£4ollo'. J - 11 B order, 4 8 y 3 .185 0.
