One practical lesson is worth a volume of description, or a whole library of theories. Prince Albert had his own notion of the comforts to be secured in the plan of a cottage, and took the opportunity which was afforded by the World's Exhibition, to re duce to practice what was uppermost in his mind, by actually building specimens in the Park, and it is not too much to say, that his Royal Highness's Model Cottages are among the most interesting of the many exampless of British industry and of design. Talking and writing about novelties in art or science are very well in their way, but exhibiting the work ready done brings a thing home to common sense. It was this considera tion that induced Messrs. E. MOSES and SOS; to keep on hand THOUSANDS of NOVELTIES in DRESS ; they might have in formed the public that they procured the first artist in Europe, hundreds of the best workmen in the world, and that they would make any quantity of clothing in the first style of elegance and novelty in an incredibly short time ; but it was far better to mate them, and show what they could do, than to talk or write about it ; let any one walk through their show rooms and see thousands of the newest fashions in every variety of costume, all marked with prices so low that none would believe without seeing them, and thousands of visitors who go there daily confess the fact, hundreds who go de termined to be measured for something to try their clothing, see the superiority of everything, and buy at once front their enormous stock. In fact there is no differerce between the stock always kept up in every department, and articles made to measure, the only dif ference in the prices is, the charge for making a single article where things are usually given cut in hundreds. It would be worth any person's while to visit the gigantic Mart in Alclgate, or the West-end Branch in New Oxford-street, to examine the material, the style, the workmanship, and the beautiful cut of all their clothes ; it would be seen at once that, for price and quality, there is nothing approach ing them, for everything is charged but a trifle over half the price of all ordinary tailors. The great Mart is considered in attraction as second to the Crystal Palace, and there are specimens of embroi dered dress at the Mart far superior to anything in the World's Great Show. A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application. The new edition of " Everybody's Book, containing a full report A the late important trial, may be had gratis, on application, or by etter, post free. E.

Old Parr, by a simple herbal medicine prepared by himself—and the prescription or mode of preparing which has been fortunately discovered within these few years — preserved his health and mental faculties during the reign of ten Kngs and Queens of Ei gland.

The old spires of London have witnessed many gorgeous pa geants, many royal "progresses," and many manifestations of " citizen loyalty ;" the ancient elliptic arch of Temple-bar has en folded its massive gates to the admission of many sovereigns and many cavalcades ; the ample area of Guildhall has been the scene of banquetings, sumptuous and dazzl,ng in the extreme ; the window sdls and balconies of the old houses in the commercial thoroughfares of the great capital have been crowded by spectators of many impos ing processions ; and the glad-pealing hailed many occasions of civic and roya l f es ti v ity ; yet the event which is announced to take place i n commemora t ion of the Great Exhibition will be one which will be ar compar i son w ith any previous demonstration. bells of the old churches have The splendour attendant on the Queen's first visit to the City of London will be vied with in the forthcoming event; and London is again to become a scene transcendently magnificent. While this is to take place in the City, the event is of a "national" character ; and every Englishman will be expected to do his duty of loyalty on so great an occasion. Such au event will, no doubt, im part an impetus to trade, and be attended with general results of the most satisfactory character. For such an occasion who would not assume a respectful and re spectable change of dress? This will be one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Occa sion ; and Hyam and Co. have met the requirements of the event with their wonted promptitude of preparation. A revision of fashion (so to speak) has taken place with Hyam and Co.; and the result is a display of novelties never before furnished.

(Nisi Prius Sittings for Middlesex, before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) COOPER V.ITEATRWAITE. This was an cction for debt and detinue upon a bill of exchange for 55/. 10.?., but it being admitted that 50/. 103. had been paid on the bill, the action in reality was for 5/. only. Mr. Sergeant C. Jones and Mr. H. Giffard were counsel for th© plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Hawkins for th© defendant. The plaintiff is an attorney at Symond's Inn, Chan cery-lane; the defendant a cheesemonger in New street, Covern-garden. In July, 1850, the defendant applied to the plaintiff, by a clerk of the plaintiff, named Leviens, to discount tho bill in question for him. Leviens' name is on plaintiff's chamber-door, and he carries on business there as a collector of rents, &c., on his own account; plaintiff has also a copying clerk named Gibbard. According to Leviens' evidence, the plaintiff having given him the discount for the bill, he took it to the defendant, and proposed to him tat as he had obtained the discount for him, that defendant should discount a bill for 101. drawn by himself on his mother-in-law, and that the defendant consented to do so; the transaction being entirely be tween themselves, and without the plantars knowledge. When the plaintiff's bill became due, the defendant and a friend went to the plaintiff's office, and the friend staying outside the defendant went in to take up the bill. According to Gibbard's evidence the defend ant having told him his business, he went and fetched the bill from the plaintiff and gave it to the defendant, who put down five 101. notes and half a sovereign, and left the office. Gibbard took the money to the plaintiff, who discovered that enough had not been paid by 51., and immediately sent Gibbard after the defendant. Gib bard said he overtook the defendant in Great Russell street, and told him of the mistake, and that the defend ant said, "Let. Leviens bring 51. to take up his bill, and give the other 51. to Cooper;" and refused either to re turn the bill or pay the 51. remaining due upon it. The defence was that the defendant had paid Gibbard the whole amount of the bill, and Gibbard and Leviens were cross-examined with severity as to this point and as to general history and character. The defendant's friend— an assistant cheesemonger, named Burton—was also called, and swore positively that he walked home with the defendant after the bill was paid, and that neither Gibbard nor any othar-pezawa-aeeeag4,lo4.l3eileolantox spoke to him - about any deficiency the payment.- Mr. Justice TALFOURD summed up the evidence, and The jury, after retiring for some time, returned a ver dict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 19. Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Loup CHIEF BARON.) DINES V. RILL. Mr. Watson and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plain tiff; the Attorney-General and Mr. Burnham for the defendant. _ _ This was an action for libel, brought by the plaintiff, who is a veterinary surgeon at Bedford, against the de fendant, the editor of the Bedford Mercury, for an article which appeared in his paper under the following circumstances:—ln the town of Bedford there exists a charitable fund of considerable amount, derived from property left some centuries ago by an alderman of the city of London of the name of Parker. Of this fund, 5001 per annum is distributed directly in g if ts to poor and decayed housekeepers of Bedford, to th e number of about 400. Two parties arose in Bedford who differed as to the best manner of applying the remainder of the in come, some thinking that it would be best employed in providing more extended education for the children of the poor—others desiring that it should be given di rectly in arms to the needy inhabitants. F ro m some cause or other which did not appear, the matters relating to this charity became the subject of a suit in Chancery, to which the Attorney-General, the master and wardens of a college at Oxford (who had the appointment of a schoolmaster to the charity), and the trustees were par tie7. The plaintiff and one Mr. Merry, who belonged to the party who advocated the giving away the whole fund in alms, presented a petition to the Lord Chancel lor, praying to be admitted as parties to the suit, on be half of the recipients of the charity, and to attend the inquiry before the Master, as t o h ow f ar the propose d Bill would be advantageous to the charity. This peti tion was dismissed, and the applicants were advised to pay the costs of the parties opposing, amoun ting to 431. 6s. Bd. Upon this Mr. Merry and one of the reci pients, named Haden, went round to the other persons receiving the annual distribution, and procured from them, or from their wives, a consent to the application of a portion of the funds to the payment of the plaintiff's and Mr. Merry's costs, representing to them that when the business was settled the distribution would be in creased, or rather resumed, as it had been in arrears for two years. At a meeting of the trustees, it was pro posed and voted that the costs of plaintiff and Merry, in all amounting to 100/. 2s. 7d., should be paid in Con formity with this so-called authority of the recipients. The 100/. 2s. 7d. was accordingly paid, partly to the plaintiff and Merry, and partly to their attorney. At a subsequent meeting of the trustees it was proposed that an inquiry into Mr. Dines' and Mr. Merry's conduct in the matter should be made; but this proposi tion was negatived by a majority of the trustees present. The article which formed the subject of this action ap peared in the Bedford Mercury on the occasion of this latter meeting of the trustees; and in it, after narrating the above facts, a passage to the following effect ap peared :—" Now, say some of our readers, this is fraud, dishonesty, thieving—so it is, and we have known men transported for less offences than this." The article then went on to enumerate the trustees who had voted for no inquiry, and concluded by saying that the sub ject was deserving of the investigation of a criminal court. These facts having been prove&by the witnesses for the plaintiff, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the jury for the defendant, and designated the conduct of the plaintiff and Mr. Merry as most shabby, in going round to the wives of these poor people, and persuading them to give up a portion of their miserable pittance to defray the costs which those gentlemen bad incurred by their offi cious interference. The comments which had appeard in the defendant's paper did not exceed the legitimate bounds of public discussion on such an occasion. His LORDSHIP said it was a most shabby proceeding on the part of Merry, and it was a most gross breach of trust on the part of the trustees to sanction such an ap plication of the poor people's money. It was strange that any man calling himself a gentleman could be so mean as to go, even bad it been in a legitimate and pro per manner, to ask these poor people for ss. a piece out of their pittances to pay his costs, occasioned by his bein g in the wrong. But the conduct of the trustees was even more blameable, and if the matters were brought before the Court of Chancery, they would be made to refund. It would be for the jury, within whose province it exclu sively was to determine the question, to say whether the defendant had exceeded the bounds of fair criticism. The liberty of the press was second only in importance to the institution of trial by jury —second, because the battle of the constitution was fought by juries. The press was free, because juries were independent; juries were not independent because the press was free. If ' the jury thought that the defendant had in any degree exceeded what was warranted by the circumstances they would give such damages as they considered rea sonable. The jury, after some deliberation, said that they were unable to agree, as they were eleven to one, and wished to retire. His LORDSHIP said that he could not help adding that the attorney to the plaintiff, had he done his duty, would have advised his client that no good could come of bring ing such an action as this, as nothing could be gained by the publicity given to the facts. The jury immediately said that they were now all agreed, and found nverdiot fortho plaintiff—,Damages, is. DUCHY COURT OF LANCASTER, June 19. (Before the Right Hon. Cho Earl of CARLISLE, Chan cellor, assisted by Mr. ELLIS, Q.C., Attorney-General of the Duchy.) THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. RAMSHAY, JUDGE OF THE LIVERPOOL COUNTY CaUItT. This day the Court again sat for the fourth time. On the previous day witnesses were examined on the part c,f Mr. Ramshay, when the Court adjourned to receive the reply of Mr. Whateley, but on the Chancellor calling upon the Learned Counsel to proceed, Mr. DYKES said that he had another witness who had only that morning arrived in town, and who had come forward unsolicited to give evidence against the allege. dons of the Guardian Society. Tho COURT having consented to receive the evidence, Mr. John H. Miles, proprietor of a day an d b oar di n g school, Chadwiek•strea, Liverpool, was examined in favour of Mr. Ratnshay. Mr. WIIITELEY was then heard in reply. He con cluded his address by saying that those by whom ha was instructed had acted from public motives. The memorial of the society did not impute to the judge any want of legal capability, but that he did not possess that cool an 1 calm demeanour which ought to characterise the conduct of a judge. No one would rejoice more than he if the charges had not been proved. He was sure the decision of his Lordship would be received with the greatest respect. The Noble CHANCELLOR, observed that in order to come to a proper decision on the case, it would be ne cessary for the Court to take time in the consideration of the evidence. No delay would take place, and when the decision was formed, he would direct a communisation to be made to the legal gentlemen engaged on either side, to whom he was much obliged for the great ability they had displayed, and for the assistance they had afforded the Court. The Court then adjourned. METROPOLITAN COUNTIES and GENE RAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, 21, Regent-street, Waterloo place, London. TRUSTEES. Spence Horatio Walpole, Esq., Richard Spooner, Esq., M.P.

WATER SUPPLI .

They desire to be supplied with good fresh water in abundance, but it is neither the goodness nor the freshness of the article which should form the only ground of their demands. No doubt it is of vast economical and sanitary importance that water should possess a proper degree of softness as well as a high degree of purity, nor can there be the slightest reason why these conditions should not be ob served to the utmost in the establishment of any - future service. But such are not the paramount considerations. The one great point of all is cheapness. What we de. sire to see abolished is not so much the reservoir or the cistern as the tax which turns a necessary of decent life into a luxury accessible to few. There can be no question that the water supplied by the com panies is bad water; but, of the two elternae tires, it would be better to have an effective and abundant service of this water, such as it is, than a service with the Government stendard of purity at the Government scale of prices. Those who could afford to pay their 31. or 44 per annum might, perhaps, get a better return for their money t h an let present; but what is to become rias sge o irpe f voi t sc h sei o b s ( d?e generationtwho vtn h tle a tt v br e rneolp n ii geo o llh_te s st u t e sh h th)aeot al uml o wcia l ley to spare? nearly so; but, at any rate, th e c h arge should be y . r g T i r o h a d e tu o i w f t o a a u t e s s ilstLeoll'ei ab solutely within stthe impercep tible as not to stmd in the way of even the poorest. At present, three times as much money as would provide a good supply is levied to return a large interest on a fic titious capital, and this enormous overcharge eff,cually precludes the free and salutary vise of water. Engineers e co o n u c ld ur be in ex s tatingecu t ex ecuted thatfbr about o g u o t od lo 000 t a y i metropolitan ir,whereas water service s the gross amount of water rates actually now levied is 425,000/, so that where we pay 1/. for the real cost of the article we pay 31. ss. for the indemnities and profits of the trader. Here is the gist of the whole case, and we particularly call attention to it because it has been found convenient to overlay it with discussions of much less importance. What the Government Bill does for the difficulty m ay be at once understood from the simple fact that it leaves the rates, and therefore the profits, just where they stood before. We pay 425,0001. a-year now, and we shall pay 425,000/. a-year, it not more, when Sir George Grey's measure may have become law. Neither is the case practically affected by the limitation of profits to 5 per cent., so long as this per-centage is computable on a fictitious capital. If the water companies will reduce their stock to the 2,043,7531. of capital originally sub scribed, and will accept a maximum of 5 per cent. in terest upon this in compensation of their services, their p ro posal might deserve attention. But their mode of reckoning augments this sum by up wards of 2,300,0004 of capital fictitiously or un fairly accrued, so that the total amount carrying in. terest exceeds 4,500,0004 ; and it is in this way that the ratepayers are made to suffer. Five per cent. may not be an extravagant rate to charge upon money invested in this Species of undertaking, but what we de mand is, that the stock thus capitalized should represent bond fide investments for the public service, and net the follies, extravagances, and corruptions of misgoverned companies. If an outlay of 2,ooo,oooea t t u e i r t , y why ya priceshould 4 can supply this r w et e ur b n e in c g on s de p m er ne c d en t L o buy watermetropolis on nearly 5,000,000/.? i w it h p t h e r w p These considerations show at once the comparative ir relevancy of Sir George Grey's discussions about the Bagshot sands, and of the company's expostulations respecting the purity of their reservoirs. The other day we published a long advertisement from a company, ap _ pealing to metropolitan water drinkers in most inge n i ous and attractive phrase. According to the secretary' s exposition it was possible to have water too pure; in fact, it was the excessive purity of the water acting upon the uncongenial surface of the pipes which endangered the lives of the illustrious exiles at Claremont. It appears that water, to be serviceable, should not be absolutely clear, but of an " opalescent" tint; that there is " nothing unwhole some" in the admixture of " fine sand, chalk, oxide of iron, and vegetable matter," and that the presence more over, of " a few living infusoria" in no degree detracts from the quality of the beverage. Into these agreeable disquisitions we decline at present to enter; neither can we institute any decisive comparison between " filtered Southwark" or " boiled West Middlesex." What we desire to be understood is our demand for a water service at the fair cost of the supply. If, as engineers concur in asserting, such service can be established for 2,000,0001,, or thereabouts, it is plain that 100,000/. per annum, or a yearly payment of some 6a. Bd. per house, will return a good interest on the outlay; and when companies parade their testimonials and their capabilities it is only requiste to ask them whether they will furnish our dwellings with constant service at an average rate of three-halfpence a week. [PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MEN-OF-WAR STEAM-SHIPS FOR THE CAPE. It has at length been determined to convey the rein- I forcements to Sir Harry Smith by men-of-war steamers. It is already known that the Birkenhead paddle-wheel steamer, Master-Commandrr Salmon, has been ordered to proceed at once to the Cape. She sailed on Wednes day evening from Portsmouth to Queenstown, and will embark 400 men of the 2d Regiment, and will leave as soon as they are on hoard. It is also known that the Megzera screw-frigate, baying broken down in her machinery, end returned to Sheer nes?, has turned her officers and crew over to the paddle wheel steam-f'rigate Cyclops, which vessel will be ready in a des or two to start for the Cape. Within the last two days, however, two other men-of war pad , lie-steamers have been ordered for the some service—namely, Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Captain Warder, now re-fitting at Portsmouth; and the advanced frigate Sidon, at Portsmouth—the latter ship to be com manded by a master. ilt s to bo hoped that the 12th Lancers will be sent out in these steam-vessels, and thus be landed at the Cape within forty days, instead of in about three months by the dull freight -ships. ADMIRALTY LEVEE.—Ad m i ra l D un das, C. 8., held a Tuesday, levee on at Whitehall, which was attended by the following officers :—Captains C. Talbot, C. Hope, J. Monday, F. Newell. Commanders—Reeve, West, Henderson, J. Lunn. Lieutenants—E. Nares, T. F. ' Young, G. S. Tayler, L. Pigot W. Strickland, G. Brine, E. A. Blackett, F. A. Close, F. Cutler, R.M. Master—F. Skead. PLYMOUTH ROYAL NAVAL CLVl3.—The members of this club held their quarterly dinner at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, on Tuesday, the I . 7th instant, in ce l e b rat i on ' of the anniversary of the battle of Bunker's Hill, Cap tain W. Blight, R.N., presiding, and Captain Isaac Toby, R.M., in the vice-chair. The company comprised Rear-Admirals Pasco and Rogers; Captains J. King combe, J. Pearse, W. F. Glanville, J. Wilcox, J. w. Blight, RN., Captain Toby, R.M., Dr. Rae, Royal Naval Hospital; the secretary of the club, W. 0. Cox, E sq., paymaster, R.N., with other members and distinguished, triends. They sat down to a dinner, served in Elliott s best style;at six o'clock, and did not separate unttl.mid night. The customary loyal and national toasts havi n g been enthusiastically drunk, " The Heroes of the Day" was given from the chair, Captain Toby, R.M.,.respond ng in a very appropriate speech, highly gratifying to an assemblage composed of members of the naval ser vices. The Royal Marine band was in attendance, and enlivened the scene with some choice and excellent mu sic. The company was less numerous than anticipated, from the fact of the gallant port-admiral (Sir John Om manney), who would otherwise have been present and presided, having on the same day entertained Colonel Gordon, commandant of the division of Royal Marines, and a large party of the officers of that corps, at dinner at the Admiralty-house, Mount-wise. The paying off the Wellesley, 72, and Caledonia, 120, will greatly add to the already large numbers of seamen seeking employment in the Royal Navy. It is, there fore, to be hoped that the Lords of the Admiralty will give their attention to the state of these gallant fellows, and, as soon as the estimates have passed the House, order the ships necessary for relief to be commissioned without delay. Ajax, 60, screw-ship, Captain Quin, and Hogue, CO, Captain Macdougal, arrived at Queenstown from Ports mouth on Tuesday. The First Lieutenant of the Ajax, Mr. Massie (1838), died on the passage. Lieutenant Henry Croft (1841) has been appointed to the vacancy. Brisk screw steam-sloop, convoyed by the Monkey brig, arrived on Wednesday afternoon, en route for Glasgow, for her engines. The Brisk anchored at St. Helen's, but the Monkey arrived for a supply of coals. They have proceeded. Caledonia, 120, Captain Carter, is to be paid off at Devonport on Tuesday, the 24th inst. She is dismantling and returning stores with great rapidity, and is ordered to paid off on Tuesday next the 24th, which is exceed ingly early considering the large quantity of old stores from Malta, she has to return to the dockyard, &c. The good state of discipline this ship is in, is a subject of very general remark. On the Sunday of her arrival in port, there were nearly 3,000 visitors on board of her, and yet not a single disturbance occurred, nor was a man drunk, notwithstanding the crowded state of the vessel. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Retribution steam frigate, 22, Captain Warden (ready for sea), and the ad vanced steam-frigate Sidon, 26, have been this day ordered to prepare with all dispatch for the reception of troops for conveyance to the Cape, reported to bo the 50th Regiment from Queenstown. The crew of the Re tribution are to man both vessels with seamen; the stokers will be supplied to the Sidon from amongst those of the Retribution. Commander Gardener, of the Blenheim steam-guardship, late first lieutenant of the Sidon, is to have the command of that vessel. Both ships are to be brought alongside this jetty to-morrow to have their guns taken out, and to be fitted for the officers and troops. The Tiger steam-frigate was taken out of the steam basin today, preparatory to her being sent on an ex perimental cruise, under the direction of Captain Hen derson, C. 8., of the steam ordinary. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Hand, returned to Spithead in the night from Chatham. The American Eagle line-of-packet ship sailed this morning at daylight for New York. WOOLWICH, JUNE 19.—The Triton, formerly mail steam-packet on the Mediterranean station, Lieutenant- Commander Glinn, has had her masts taken out, and is now in the basin at Woolwich preparing to be paid off OD Saturday next. The Vivid mail steam-packet, on the Dover station, Captain Smithett, left Woolwich this morning on her return to Dover. The advocates of the companies aro forward in de claring for themselves and their clients their repudiation of the Government Bill. In so far as their remonstrances may show that no single person approves of Sir George Grey's measure, the Hon. Secretary is welcome to the evidence. In point of fact, as we need hardly say, their interests have been preferred to a!l others, and Sir Wm. Clay is eminently prudent in his resolution to sit still, and take without effort what Government is so abun dantly disposed to give. But, as concerns the main point at issue, it signifies absolutely nothing at all whether the companies aro assenting or dissenting, whether they " oppose the Bill by counsel," or swallow it with speechless satisfaction. The only interests to be considered in coming to a decision are those of the public at large. The cheapest service of the beat water is what we are entitled to, and less than this we decline to take. If after these arrangements have been made it can be shown that the incorporated companies have been wrongfully damaged, their claims to compensation may be entertained accordingly. They deserve justice but not favour. If their agency can be judiciously employed in carrying out the designs ultimately approved, it will of course be desirable to re. tain it; but it is of the utmost importance that no recog nition should be given to claims of "proprietorship" in a service like this. So gross have been the errors of Government throughout these transactions that, as was observed the other day at the Southwark meeting, Sir George Grey's Bill actually proposes to create rights of this obnoxious description. At present there is no kind of reason why a " Metropolitan Water Company" should not be started with a capital of 2,000,0001. to do all that is desired. The companies could offer no reasonable opposition, nor could they compete with its operations except on ruinous terms. This last resource against their extortion we do still possess, and it is of this that Sir George proposes to deprive us. Whether his Bill will improve the water supply o r no t i t i s diffi cu l t t o foretel, but it will infallibly charge the metropolitan community with the duty of finding 5 per cent. interest on five millions of money for ever, although less than half that sum would purchase the service required. NOTICE TO MARINERS. The fallowing has been posted at Lloyd's:— " Hydrographic•office, Admiralty, June 12. " COAST OF PORTUGAL—FIXED LIGHT ON CAPE ST. MARY. "The Portuguese Government has given notice that the new Lighthouse on Cape St. Mary has been com pleted, and that it is intended that the display of the light therein shall commence on the 24th of this month. "It is a fixed light, and the lantern being 109 feet above high water, it will be visible at the distance of 17 miles from the deck of a vessel 10 feet above the water. Its position is 36 deg. 56 min. N., and 7 deg. 51 min. longitude, W. of Greenwich." THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Yesterday was the warmest and finest day that had shone on London for some weeks, and the visitors to the Crystal Palace eagerly availed themselves of it. Within two hours after the opening about 36,000 had entered, and in two hours more the number had risen to upwards of 52,000. The numbers fo r the different hours were as follows: — From 10 to 11 o'clock 17,731 18,139 From 11 to 12 From 12 to 1 From 1 to 2 From 2 to 3 From 3 to 4 3,762 From 4 to 5 From 5 to 6 SEABORNE MAILS.

On Tuesday a numerously-attended Court of the Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London, was held at the Guildhall, Deputy Peacock in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting, held on the 3d of June, having been read by Mr. TICKNEE, the assist ant clerk, the same were allowed to have been cor rectly entered, and were confirmed accordingly. PERSONAL APPLICATIONS. Amongst a variety of personal applications for leave to effect alterations, one of considerable import ance was made on the part of Messrs. Cook, Sons, and Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard. These gentlemen ap plied for leave to connect their premises, situate in Little Carter-lane, one side being the back-front of their extensive warehouses in St. Paul's Churchyard, with the south side of the line, by means of an ornamental iron bridge. In order to carry out this project, the firm proposed to make an important public improvement by removing a considerable number of old buildings (which at the present time are sup ported against each other by a number of unsightly struts placed across the narrow lane), and by building upon the site of the old houses several handsome mo dern structures on both sides of the way, thus widen ing the lane to a considerable extent along the entire frontage of their property. It was alleged that the rates upon the old buildings have for a length of time either not been collected at all, or, if so, with considerable difficulty. A paper was also put into court, signed by the whole of the inhabitants of houses contiguous, expressive of their approval of the proposed bridge, and their satisfaction as to the general improvements specified. - After some little discussion it was unanimously agreed, on the motion of Deputy Holt, seconded by Mr. Millard, to refer the application to the Ge neral Purposes Committee for their consideration and report. STREET CLEANSING BY " STREET ORDERLIES." Deputy HARRISON informed the court that he had been deputed by certain inhabitants .of the ward of Broad-street to lay before the Commissioners a memo rial agreed to at a recent wardmote held within the precincts of that ward, in which the parties prayed the court to " adopt measures as early as possible, in order that the ward might be cleansed by means of street orderlies." _ Deputy CORNET said that he also was entrusted with a similar application from several of the rate payers residing in another part of the ward. Deputy BRITTEN (Bassishaw ward) remarked that, as a proof of the feeling of the " street-orderly" system of cleansing in the ward he had the honour to represent, he would inform the court that he held in his hand a requisition for a public meeting to consi der the - subjeet forthwith. Deptity HARRISON, after the memorial had been read, moved that the memorial he had presented, and that laid before the court by Deputy Corney, be re ferred to the General Purposes' Committee for their consideration and report. After some opposition the resolution was carried. IMPROVEMENT IN HONEY-LANE, HOUNDSDITCH. Mr. G. VILE applied, on the part of the inhabitants of the above-named locality, for the insertion of cer tain posts at each end of Honey-lane, so that accidents from trucks, and other conveyances, drawn through that closely-confined thorougfare, might be prevented. Ordered that the same be viewed, and reported upon accordingly. THE DECLIVITY OF HOLBORN-HILL. A deputation of tradesmen from Holborn-hill ap plied to the Commissioners, requesting them to put a stop to the present system of scattering sand upon the hill, a practice which they alleged destroyed their stock, and inflicted upon them other pecuniary in juries. Mr. T. H. HALL remarked that he wished the citi zens of London, and the press especially, would, in stead of dealing in these little matters, boldly take " the bull by the horns," and unite for the purpose of doing away at once and for ever with that greatest of all nuisances, Holborn-hill. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said a certain portion of the press had grossly misrepresented the state of the case, as it was connected with the Smithfield improvement. Had the latter project been agreed to, the evils com plained of would not hare been suffered long to exist. Mr. R. TAYLOR said that Sir Peter Laurie was wrong in supposing the immediate inhabitants were to blame in. this matter. The fact was that the Com missioners of Woods and Forests and the House of Commons were the parties upon whom the blame rested.—(Hear, hear.) While these officials were engaged in their " scandalous jobs" in the House of Commons, it was in vain for members of that court to hope that the interests of the citizens of London would be considered by the Government. Eventually it was decided that the application should be entered on the journals of the court. STATUE OF THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL IN THE CITY. Sir Peter Laurie, attended by Mr. B. T. Phillips and Mr. Richard Williams, as a deputation from the committee with reference to the Peel statue, then appeared in court, for the purpose of explaining to the commissioners that the committee had named two places as eligible for the bronze statue of the late illustrious senator, Sir R. Peel. One site was the western end of Cheapside, and the other the eastern end of the Royal Exchange. The deputation wished to know whether there would be any objection to their placing the statute upon the first-named site, as that appeared to be the most eligible to the mem bers of the committee. Further information as to the size of the statue at the base and other technical details being required, the matter was dropped until the necessary informa tion can be supplied to the Commissioners. THE NEW STREET FROM DOWGATB-HILL TO ST. PAUL'S. Upon the application of Mr. THOMAS H. HALL, the chairman of the Improvement Committee of the City of London, and on behalf of that Committee, it was agreed that the line of widened street from Eastcheap to Dowgate-hill should be still called Cannon-street, and that that portion of the new street from Erowgate-hill to St. Paul's Churchyard should be called Cannon-street Wrest. Shortly afterwords the Commissioners adjourned. FROME.—NOVEL MODE OF CONVEYING A PRISONER TO GAOL.— A few days ago, a worthless vagabond, known by the nickname of " Shaftesbury Bob," was passing through this town, driving his dog in a truck, at the same time beating and otherwise ill-using the poor animal in a most cruel manner, which induced some humane persons to give him in charge of a constable, who took him before the Frome magistrates ; and the case being heard, he was sen tenced to one month's imprisonment in Shepton gaol. The fellow was then taken back for a short period to the Guard House, while the constables procured a van for his removal to the prison (a distance of 13 miles), but on the return of the officers they found that their prisoner, either from spite or some other motive, had torn every article of his clothing into small pieces, and was in a complete state of nudity. This placed the constables for a few seconds in what is called " a fix," but with all due regard to common decency they promptly met the emer gencyrt by procuring a lar g e sack, shoved Bob into it feet f ore most, tied it comforta bl y round his neck, seated him i n the van, and in that state delivered him to the custody of Mr. West , the worth y g overnor of Shenton gaol.
