" MODE OF iDPPLY. {any practical difficulties having been urged against itbstitution of the constant for the intermittent sys of water supply in the metropolis!, we have Particu• examined into the working of the constant system !Lis where it is es t a bli s h e d,, an d i n some o f w hich, been in operation for fifteen and twenty yearn, and" . That •the Waste of water is to far less instead of r under the system of constant supply, thitt gh the inhabitants have unlimited. command of and use •ivhas 'they please, though the skim' use -r by the inhabitsnts is greater, the quantity de. by the SOmpanitis ip less, frequeUily.less,by• one . consequence .of there being less waste from the erfect delivery. That the water; 'under the system of constant is delivered purer and fresher, Of a lower tem e summer, and that it is less sqbject to frost in The General Board of Health has just issued its re port on the second point to which its attention was di rected by the Royal Commission, viz., " The better sup ply of the metropolis with water for domestic use, fur ' flushing sewers and drains, and for cleansing streets; and also the bgst means of using existing works, and of erecting any new works requisite, and maintaining them in action." The vast population of this metropolis is in the hands of seven companies, and taking the data fur nished by themselves, there appear to be 17,456 houses wholly unsupplied with water. Where inqairies have been made for sanitary purposes, in densely populated districts, upwards of 1S per cent. of the houses have . been found to have been unsupplied with pipe water; in large districts five, four, and three per cent. There are 1,181 cases of supply by stand-pipes, serving for several - houses, often for a whole court or alley. In many in stences, the supply by, one butt in a yard, or area,'is equivalent only to a supply by a common stand-pipe to several houses in a court or alley. SUPPLY TO THE METROPOLIS.;—The • gross • daily quantity of water pumped into the metropolis amounts to upwards of 44,000,000 of gallons. It is, however, shown in the report that the averagO daily , consumption o' the whole metropolitan population of 2,000,000 does not amount to more than 20,000,000 gallons of watery or 10 gallons per individual per day. The residue—viz., 20.000,000 of gallons—therefore runs to waste. EFFECTS OP IMPURE WATER.— Mr. Chalice, a sur geon of Bermondsey, attributes the first' fatal case of cholera he met with td the effects of the Thames water. The master of a vessel at Gravesend had drank rather largely -over night, and " the next morning drank heartily from one of the water-casks which had just been filled with Thames water; he was soon after at tacked with purging and vomiting. I went down post and found him just dead. I found that the death was so sudden that it almost appeared as if he had taken poison in the water; subsequently it was, from facts that came almost hourly under notice, that I formed the opinion of the direct consequencei of taking impure water in producing a disordered state of the bowels, and those who had such a state of the bowels were pre eminently in a 'condition to become victims to the disease." The larger portion of this metropolis is sup plied from this tainted source. The mode of distribu tion is very objectionable, and most especially in the poorer districts. The supply of water is inter mittent—it- is " let on" once in twenty-four hours, or once in forty-eight hours, as the - case may be. This necessitates the adoption of tanks in the houses of the rich, and of tubs or barrels in those of thepoor, to receive and 'retain as much as is deemei requisite. Amongst the most serious evils attending upon this system is the filthy and polluted state of the cisterns and butts into which it is received, and of the vessels in which it is generally kept in the dwellings of the poorer classes. The cistern or butt is usually uncovered, and exposed to all the dust and smut that are continually flying about even in the cleanest parts of a large city. " I have heard ," says Dr. Milroy, " more than one person say that they have seen peiple actually rinsing chamber pots in the water which their neighbours drank and used for cooking. When' the cistern is outside the house it is liable to the same horrible pollution, parties who live in the upper rooms emptying everythieg out of their windows into the court behind, the cistern being usually placed there between the ashpit and the privy." CHARACTER OF SUPPLY.—The impurity of Thames water has been abundantly proved, both by chemical analysis and by the microscope. Thames water is not only unfit for drinking, but is also unfit for domestic uses. f. That the inconveniences' apprehended from the Iption of supply during repairs and alterations are experienced, the work being executed Under such . [precautions that no complaint has ever be en to have been made on this account. . That the interruptions of supply, which are se tly experienced on the intermittent system from Pate in the lower districts, from the neglect of cks, from limitation' of quabtity, from inadequate y butts and'cisterns, or from deranged balleocks, ircely ever known on the constant system. That the system of constant supply admits of economy in pipes, as they may under that system 1 most`part be considerably smaller, and, not being I to the violent hydraulic jerks of the intermittent are less liable to burst. M. That the pipes for the house service may not Me considerably smaller and cheaper, but that the s and apparatus connected therewith, which, in mailer class of houses, now cost more than the ;public portion of the works, may be entirely dis with. consts the w ttiracc or leal are scl "1 great for th subjec syste " 2(1 only 1:1 cistern the sa whole penseil - I " QUANTITY REQUISITE. "In respect respect to the quantity of water actually supplied and t the quantity uteded for the domestic use of the metro olitan population, and for other purposes, we have to rep rt— . " T at in consequence of-state ments made by several of the ompanies of the quantities of the water which they plumped for the use of the _metropolis, quantities which; appeared to be inconsistent with the known habit o f the population and the apparent amount of water consumed for domestic purposes, we deemed it desira le to cause the consumption of water in different distri s, by different classes of the population, to be gauge from the cisterns and butts, and also the run thiou house-drains and sewers on days when there was no rai fall. , " F m these observations it appears— " 21} That, wh,reas it was returned, in 1832, that the :tient+ quantity of water delivered to their respective customers by the several comp a nie s wa s 220 ga llon s per House . or dwelling ; and more recently, as returned to us, was staled to be 164 gallons per It use or dwelling ; that is, 44 milli o ns of gallon per diem for the wh o l e o f th e metropolis— makin allowances for a co nsi d era bl e an d i n j ur i ous waste f water by permeation through badly constructed channels, the results of the gauging i of the run of water through drains and sewers, on days when there is no rainfall, do not appear materially to differ from the later statements of the several companies as to the quantity of water which is actually pumped into their several dis tricts; awhile from the gaugingsef the quantities of water consumed from cisterns and butts during the intervals of the intermittent delivery, and from the capacity of i the sto r age receptacles themselves, it appears that the averag da:ly consumption does not exce e d five gall o ns per he d on the population; , and that, with all allow ances ‘or the qu,ntities used .for manufactures, steam and other purposes, the gross quantity con does not exceed one-half of the quantity deli- ADVANTAGES OF SOFT WATER.—These are princi pally the gain in fuel, in consequence of there being leis time required to cook vegetables—often the saving of tea, as the same quantity that would produce three cups only with hard, will furnish five of the same strength with soft water; and also that a much larger quantity of soap hi wasted when it is used with bard water. QUALITIES OF THAT FLUID.—The Commissioners consider that the qualities fur the water supply of the population range themselves in the following order:— " L Freedom from all animal and vegetable matter, especially matter in a state of decomposition. 2. Pure aeration. 3. Softness. 4. Freedom from earthy, mineral, or other foreign matt , rs. 5. Coolness in delivery, at a medium temperature, neither warm in summer nor ex cessively cold in winter. 6. Limpidity, or clearness." And, as popular tests have laid it down that all special flavour or taste in water, the slightest smell, the slightest shade of colour, are objectionable, they consider that, under the most favourable circumatlinces, the Thames water could not be rendered wholesome. GATHERING GROUNDS FOR SUPPLY.—After the most careful examination of a great number of places near the metropolis, Bagshot Heath seemed to be the spot most fitted by nature and by eircnmstanpes as the receptacle of the greater proportion of collected water for the supply of London. The portion of this dis trict to which their attention was more particularly directed comprises an area of less than a hundred square miles, lying east and west Gf a line from .Bagshot to Farnham. The remaining distict, which, although of., the same bleak and barren character, is of dif ferent geological construction, consisting of the upper and lower greeniands and gault of the green sand for mation, which constitute the uncultivated sand districts draining into the east and west tributaries of the river Wey. is situated south of the chalk ridge, in the midst of which the town 'of Guilford stands. At this point the specimens collected at the surface immediately after the rainfall are of the highest degree of purity, being in large quantities not exceeding one degree of hardness; while that portion of the rain water, also, which filters through an upper stratum of sand in parts of the district, and appears aain at lower levels, after passing through a to ff feet of the upper stratum, is of an equal degree of purity. It should be added, that the report under notice states that the improvement of most of these tracts has hitherto been given up in despair, and that the growth of fir is recommended as the only agricultural purpose tor which they are fitted. engine sunied vered. " 22. That this waste is a consequence of the preient rhent mode of supply; and does not take place to extent where the constant system of supply pen substituted; and probably may be prevented her where the house service-pipes are properiy d and arranged under a system of combined interni any aui altve pro.id, works. " 23. That this waste, ,as now ascertained by official investigation, appears to have gone on without any know ledge of its great amount on the part of the companies, although it involves a double expense of pumping, and exceeds, as above stated, the whole of the annual rainfall on the covered area of the metropolis. " 24.; That this waste is of no equivalent benefit for the cleansing of house drains and sewers, inasmuch as, from the inaptitude of Viese works, owing to their bad construction, for the discharge of water containing matter in suspension, accumulations of decomposing matters do take place in them, to the great injury of the public healtiq accumulations which, notwithstanding the flow of the waste water through them, require to bo cleared away by haad-labour, by flushing, or by other means. . "25.• That the waste water, having sewer matter mixed ap with it, pormeatei through the brick drains and sewers, saturates the sites of houses with polluted water, snd keeps up an exceas,of moisture. which, rising into the porous and absorbing walls and plaster of the houses,: contributes to render them damp even in the driest weather. " . 26. That this excess of moisture is aggravated by the extreme defective drainage iu the low-lying and worst-conditioned districts, where, as has been already stated, epidemic disease is almost invariably present, and where the recent visitation of epidemic cholera has been the most severe. " . 27. That, taking into consideration the actual do mestic consumption of water by the population of the metropolis, regarding also the extent of the increased supplie4 needed for the various purposes of sanitary im provement not hitheit) contemplated by companies, nor included in new schemes, all the engineering estimates put forward by private companies of the quantity of water required for the service of the population appear to be greatly in excess. " 28. That there appears to be no probable demand for a general average consumption of water exceeding the present rate for houses of the higher class—namely, about 75 gallons per house per diem, or in all 22 mil lions of gallons per diem, inclusive of the increased sup ply which will be necessary on the abolition of cesspools; and that, estimating the additional requirements for baths, for street cleansing, for large consumers, for fires, and for other purposes, the whole quantity of water needed under an improved system of distribution does not exceed 40 millions ef.gallons per diem. " 29. That it appears that the resolutions of parochial meetings' and the statements of the promoters of new companies. alleging a deficiency in the total amount of water already introduced, and proposing to bring in ad ditional supplies, have been made in ignorance of the actual present domestic consumption of the population, and of what is really needed, according to the best in formation, for the execution of practical measures of sanitary improvement. EXPENSE OF SYSTEM.—The quantity of water re quired per diem to meet the present demand is 40,000,000 gallons, and by the proposed mode of oh taMing water 90,000,000 would be obtained, and, the gross approximate estimate of expense would be 2,142,000/. 2 giving an average charge in the inetropolia of sd. per house per week, against which the present cost of repairing drains and emptying cesspools, must be set off. The Commissioners have embodied their conclusions, together with a concise exposition of the facts them selves, in certain resolutions which . we give verbatim : " QUALITY OF THE " 1. That for domestic use it is inferior to the average quality of waters supplied to towns. " 2. That its inferiority as a supply for domestic use arises chiefly from an excess of hardness. "3. That even when taken above the reach of pollution from th`e sewers of the metropolis, it contains an excess, varying with the season, of animal and vehe table matter. " 4: That although the latter cause of inferiority may be, in part, removed or corrected by filtration, the excess of hardness will still remain, rendering this water espe cially unfit for th 4 following uses ; namely, for cleans ing the skin, and for the ordinary purposes of washing, by occasioning an excessive consumption of soap; for the preparation of tea, by occasioning waste to a like extent; and fur all culinary processes, by diminishing their efficiency, and increasing their expetne. " 5. That the quality of the water of the river Lea and of the New hirer is, in this respect, no better than that of the Thames water, taken beyond the iufluence of the sewage of the metropolis. " G. That the water taken by the Lambeth Company from the Thames opposite Fluggerford Market is charged with animal and vegetable impurities, apparently the effect of the discharge of sewer water, which render it wholly unfit for use, and highly dangerous to the health of the persons who drink it. "30; That the save ral schemes which propose to bring in more water in addition to the quantity now wasted, and to make such additions mainly from the same sources which supply the water now generally consumed, with out reference to improvements in the system of domestic distribution, and without combination with improied drainage works for the removal of the waste water, would aggravate the existing sanitary evils, and increase the excessive charges already incurred for the defective works constructed in iguorance. " Having particularly examined the statements as to the increased quantities of a ater required for the flush ing of drains and sewers, and the working of au im proved system of drainage, we find— "3l. That upon a system of drainage such as that at present in use, consisting of brick house-drains and sewers, which cause accumulations of decomposing d&- posits, there would b., required, for the intermittent re moval of those accumulations by flushing, considerable additions to the present quantities of pipe water pumped in far the supply of the metropolis; but that any system of house or main drainage which occasions the accumu lation of decomposing refuse, and renders necessary the continuance of the practice of intermittent flushing, is in Wolf highly injurious to the onpa p ema u r nebl levels, namely, v c es that health, ,we nr ad s aty a rh n s eat oughtd etkmenpao ccla clear t al y o r be prevented. '.32. That recent trial works have placed beyond doubt the soundness of the conclusion of the Metropolitan ' ofd a w Sda h j deport ui n attar o dy n t conducted c u t l ed a ther away wo Commissioner s, s r y c e at t fp house-drainsrt he soil Ar sewer water alone addi tion of water is requited for this purpose. " SEWERAGE. "7. That of the seven principle companies by which pipe water is conveyed to the metropolis, four deliver it without previous filtration. "8. That the defects in the quality of the water st present sepplied, when collected in its least objection able condition, and the evils arising from its distribution in the unfiltered state, are all aggravated by the practice of intermittent distribution. " 9. That the practice of intermittent distribution oc casions, in the case of the better description of houses, the retention of the water in cisterns and butts, and in that of the poorest classes, in tubs, pitchers, and such other vessels as can be obtained; and, as a consequence of such retention the water itnbibes soot and dirt, and absorbs the polluted air of the town, and of the offen sively close, crowded, and unhealthy localities and rooms in which the poor reside. " 10. That from the inferiority of the water at its source as at present collected, and from the additional pollution and deterioration occasioned by the mode of its distribution, a large proportion of the population is rendered averse to the daily use of water as a beverage, and is inclined and almost f treed to the use of fermented liquors and ardent spirits to an extent greatly beyond the consumption of such drinks where purer water is mars ac2essiblv. " 11. That the annual cost of the construction and maintenance in repair of cisterns and their supports and conne , ted apparatus in the houses of the tnidd!o and wealthier classes often exceeds the annual water-rate. " 12. That the cost of the pipe-water supply and the additional expense and inconvenience resulting from the present mode of its distribution cause the population in soma suburban districts to resort for water to open ditches, and in other crowded localities to shallow springs or wells; sources which are subject to increasing pollution from cesspools, from badly constructed house drai!ls and sewers, and from over-crowded gravevardg. " 13. That the loca;ization and intensity of cholera in such districts as those alluded to was promoted in a most marked manner by the use of water containing decent posing animal and vegetable matter derived from sewers, drains, and other impure sources. "14. That the districts most severely visited by epi demic cholera, as well as those most afflicted by ordinary epidemic diseases, are low-lying districts, w h ere , f rom the defective state of the drainage, there is an excess of damp and of putrid decomposition; and that such excess of damp is aggravated by the waste of water attendant on the intermittent mode of supply; a waste which appears to exceed the whole of the annual rainfall on the inha bited area of the metropolis. " With reference to those extensive districts of the metropolis the levels of which are below high-water mark,. where the sewer water is at present penned up until it can be discharged at low water, and where putrefying deposit is accumulat , A 'in the sewers in consequence of the flow being arrested during high water, it appears— " 33. That.it will require no addition of water, and certainly no increased expense in pumping,' ti cause such a continuou4 flow of the waste water as will pre vent deposit, and that this prevention of deposit is the true object to be aimed at, and not the supply of adds tional quantiti es cf . wst-r to r emo v e , by flushing, de posit which ought not to have been allowed to accu mulate. " 34. That besides the great injury t) the public health fr o m th e pon di ng up o f sewer water, and the con sequent conversion of large expansive sewers and reser voirs into extended cesspools; and besides the waste of water and the expense of pumping it into the district for the removal of accumulations, the intermittent system of drai n i ng th e districts below high water-walk by gravimion, without the aid of pumping for their relief, must necessitate the continued pollution of the Thames, and obstruct or delay the application of the refuse as manure. "35. That, except in extreme cases of absolute de ficiency, the pumping in of a dditional supplies of water, before properly constructed house drains are laid down for its removal, would, by increasing damp, still further deteriorat , 2 the sanitary condition of the population, and occasion still greater dilapidations and injury to tene_ merits. "36. That the separation of works of pipe -water sup ply fr c,m tbosQ r Ole removal of waste water oecasiuns delay in the execution of works primary importancefor sanitary improv ements as well asincreased expense. ..37. That it appears that while the exp ense of sewers and .s is reduce,' by an improved tr. bulls system of drainage, the expense of earthwork, of dig- Bing, and of making good, is one-half of the total ex pense, and that, therefore, the separate laying down of water-mains and drainage mains must frequently cause this last portion of the expense to be materially in creased. , T, , " 38. That, on these grounds, and on the principles already recognised, the only way of securing systematic works with economy and efficiency, as well as with the least delay, will be to consolidate under one and the same public management the whole works for the supply of water, and for the drainage of the metropolis., • " 39. That it is essential to the ecenotny.attei efficiency of all ouch works that the whole distribatoriappa a U', small us vi ell' as large, service pipes, and house draw, together with water-mains, public drains and sewers, shou'd be laid down under one system, and kept, in ac tion under ono sup erv i s i on. "40. That it app, ars from the examination of im proved works which have been in operation for u suffi cient len,..th_of time to test their efficacy. and from de tailed estimstss made by different competent engineering officers upon house•to-house examina twits e f the worst conditioned districts, that combined works, cotnprisicg a water-pipe for the service of each house, a sink, a drain, and waste pipe, and a soil-pan or water-closet apparatus, may be laid down and maintained in action at a cost, not exceeding, en the avrra_ge,....4 l 7leiailipenen _per week, or less than half the average Fxpqnsegt:eleaning the cesspool for any single tenement. J " 41. That the general survey being now sufficiently ad%anced, such works may be executed` . fbr separate dis tt lets without waiting for the completion of any general measure or plan of main sewers. "PROVISION FOR SUPPLY. ' " Having considered the evidence in relation to the qualities of the water requisite for the supply of the metropolis, we find— " 42. That in addition to the properties of clearness and freedom from animal and vegetable matter which is apt to pass into decomposition and to prove injurious to health, one of the most essential properties of water is softr ess, or freedom froth lime and other substances pro ductive of what is term, d hardness. "43. That having made careful and extensive inquiii s, with the aid of the department of the Ordnance Geological Survey, as to the most suitable sources of supply, having had those districts which appeared to be the most eligible specially examin si by our engineering inspectors, w ith other aid, we find, upon their unanimous testimony, that from a tract of upwards of 150 square miles of gathering ground, there is derivable a supply nearly double the present actual domestic consumption, of a quality varying from one-tenth to one-third the hardness of Thames water, and of a purity equalling the general average of the improved soft water supplies of the districts which have yet been brought under ex amination. " 44. That water obtained from siliceous sands, such as those which cover the tract above described, is prey; d to be of a quality only equalled is excellence by the water derived from mountain grantite rocks, or slate rocks, or other surfaces of the primitive formation,. 45. That upon the beit estimates which have been obtained, this water may be brought to the metropolis, and delivered pure and filtered into each house on the system of constant supply at high pressure, and at the came time, on the plan of combined works, the waste eater may be removed by a proper system of drainage, at a rate not exceeding an average of 3d. or 4d. per week per house, or from 30 to 50 per cent, less than the present charges for defective water supply alone. "45. That the saving in soap, from the use of soft water in the operation of washing (the expense of wash ing linen and other clothes being estimated at an average of ls. per head ty r weak to be nearly 5,000,000/. per annum of the population of the metropolis) would be probably equivalent to the whole of the money expended at present in the water supply. "47. That the saving in tea from the use of soft water may be estimated at about one-third of the tea con sumed in the metropolis. "4S. That other culinary operations would be much facilitated by the use of soft water. 49. That soft water is peculiarly suitable for baths a; well as for washing. " 50. That sr f; water would prevent those incrusta tions and d( posits boilers and pipes which render f:ard water unsuitable for manufacturing purposes. " RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMISSION. " We tnerelore advise the rejection of all the schemes promoted by water companies or by parochial vestries and Lsiociations which adopt, as sources of supply, the I hames and its tributaries of the same degree of hard ness, wells and springs from the chalk or other forma tions which impart the quality of hardness. " And further, whilst we believe that Thames water token up beyond the influence of the metropolitan drain age and filtered, may be used without injury to the pub lic health, and way be employed temporarily until other sources can be laid under contribution, we advise that Thames water, and other water of like quality as to hardness, be as early as practicable abandoned. " In respect to the existing companies which have-no property in any sources of water supply, but whose capital is invested in engines and distributory apparatus, we recommend that their plants .should be purchased, but we are not prepared to recommend any prt-appointed terms of purchase; and we find— " 51. That if the management ' of • "the ' water supply be consolidated,: five, if not six,- out of the seven principle pumping establishments may be discontinued, and an expenditure of from 80,0001. to 100,0001. per annum saved by consolidating the management of these works .and connecting them with combined works of drainage and , sewerage, and that further reductions may b e made in the expenses of these latter establishments. " flaying considered, as required under the Metro politan Sanitary Commission, the means of supplying water to extinguish fires, and having examined the practical experience of improved works in relation thereto in other towns, we find— " 52. That the inadequucy of the supplies of water under the intermittent system occasions great danger to life and property, but that by arrangements which are practicable under a system of constant supply at high pressure, the whole force of the water in the mains may he brought to bear at any point for extinguishing fires in from one to five_mitiutes, or in about one-fourth the time that it takes the be•st appointed firo-engines now to gain the spot and be in action after the alarm of fit e has been given. " 53. That, judging from the experience of IVioua p l aces where improved arrangements have been put in practice, it *nears that by the general adoption ut these arrangements more than two-thirds of the fires which now occur in the metropolis may be extinguished before any extensive damage takes place. " 54. That the insurance risks on life and property may be diminished in a yet greater proportion. " 55. That the crime of incendisrism may be checked, and that these consequences alone, were there no other advantages to be ob.ained, would render it worth while to make the change from the intermittent to the constant system. _Lire " 56. That these advantages may be best given by the same means by which a more perfect and cheaper surface cleansing of courts, alleys, fuor-paven.ents, and carriage ways be effected, namely, by jets of water ' than that aterdistri by hand butedundt 7ay r high pressure. " PROPOSED PLAN FOR THE METROPOLIS. " Having considered the most eligible administrative provisions for the execution of the required work, we concur in theprinciples recommended by the Commission of inquiry as to the best means of improving the health of teas us• and confirmed by Parliament in the Public Health Act, viz.:— " 57. That the works of eater supply, and those for drainage, cr the removal of soil or waste water, should be carried into effect by one and the same administrative body. " 58. But that the magnitude of the metropolis, the large minorities diversity of its local jurisdiction, and its position as the Executed scat of Government, and the occasional residence of per sons from all parts of the empire, the requiring protection, and the unaccustomed magnitude of the requisite outlay, render distinct and special provi afilafee.ulY;veaynduenedienrcnithealdi)irection of J ionJ necessary for it, and that the amendments required arrange mt ntr, s ot o h f er wa i b n; ,, y; sp l ee. e ci ‘arl most,h,a, or by speedily, leinlye,r, provisional to the sate the engineers of the Board of Ordnance, anti economical execution of combinedw.aonrdk e direction of the Sewers Commission, supply have been completed, under th sur veys, trial works, and preparations essential combined I ) a n o )iwifelarr.wer works rt Metropolitanekso f t uaY charge n ow e b r e house ex e eu t t e h a an an h d as ra h a e i r t e it t al f n ij b e r d h e been incurred for any of P their various branches executed separately.

Ponrsmou'rti, WEDNESDAY. - The Dragon steam frigate, Captain W. H. Hall, arrived at Spithead this morning from the Mediterranean station. The Dragon has been upwards of three years in commission, and will pay off at Portsmouth. Admiral Sir Bladen Capel went out at two o'clock yesterday in the Sprightly to muster and inspect the crew.. The seamen went through their gun, musket, and cutlass exercises. The Admiral was received by Captain Hall with manned yards. and he continued on board three hours, and witnessed some un commonly good "shell and shot practice at a target. After'the Admiral left the powder-hoy and live-shell li g hter went alongside; and the Dragon was to go into harbour about eight, P.M.

A court-martial was held yesterday at,ttie marine bar racks, StOnehouse, befoie Colonel Ballinghall, Royal Marines, president, and .14 other ofticers t . members, to try Second Lieutenant Clitirles Pyne, 'Royal Marines, for disobeying the commands of his superior. officer, Lieutenant and Adjutant Forbes. The prisoner was at sword drill on the 10th ult., Adjutant Forbes being the commanding officer at the time; and not being satisfied with the. manner in which Lieutenant Pyue was conduct ing his exercise, Lieutenant Forbes ordered him from the squad in which ho was to another not so far ad vanced in military tactics. This order the prisoner re fused to obey, and hence the present trial. The evidence for the prosecution 'closed yesterday, and the Court adjourned until to-day, at 'l2 o'clock, to hear the defence.

This was an action of:libel by the cele b rate d mem b er of the Provisional Government o f P rance, in w hi c h h e sought to recover damages,from t h e d efen d ant, t h e pub lisher of the Morning Post, for the Oublioiktioo of certain voluminous extracts from the.panapk et o f, ch ew! , i n which it may be remembered that certain disclosures were made by no means creditakile or flattering to the character of the ex-Prefect of Police. The defendant pleaded" Not guilty," and a special plea of justifica tion, reiterating the charges in question. To this there was a special demurrer, on the ground that the plea ought to have given the names of places and per sons where and with whom thuse charges affected the plaintiff. _ _ _ Mr. PEARSON appeared for the plaintiff in support of the demurrer, and stated that ,the plaintiff was about to establish himself in business as a merchant in this coun try, and that his main object in bringing this action was to elear himself from those:imputations in the pamphlet which affected his honesty in respect to the disposition of funds, alleged to have been raised by him in aid of the Poles and to have been diverted from their destination. He contended that the plea was bad from its generality, and cited several cases in support of that proposition. Sir F. PoLLocx did not see why the plaintiff should not take issue on the plea as it stood. It he wished for particulars he ought to, have applied at chambers. plea, which, under th th e e case, was perh a ps as Mr. ATIIERTON , for the defendant, was most an x i o u s t t o h e g o p e t ocutlriiaarl circu t in h e s t c a h n a c r e g s e s o f i in full and precise as could have been expected. If, hoe - ever, the Court thought that the plea ought to be amended, and his friend would furnish him with those charges in respect of which he chiefly' complained, every infortnatioyhould . be given so Ili to enable the plaintiff to go to trial at once and to meet thew. Sir F. PoLLocic.—Very well. We think the plea ought t. ba amended.—Leave to ameA. CA.USSIDIERE V. LAWSON. This wa3 a similar action, plea, and demurrer in the case of the Times newspaper. When it WeIS called on, Mr. PEACOCK, 011 the part of .the defendant, said, that as it witi necessary to examine witnesses at Paris, it would be desirable to change the venue horn Middlesex to London. • Mr. Baron PLATT expressed his surprised at the plaintiff's having brought two actions; if his object was merely to justlfy his character, surely one would have sufficed. Mr, PEARSON vindicated the course of the plaintiff by stating that in the case of the Times the libel was of a larger character than that iriseried in the Morning Post. Mr. Baron PLATT—Theu you ought to try the case of the Times alone. Ultimately, after some discussion, it was arranged that the venue in this case should be changed to Surrey, and that in that of the Morning Post the venue should remain as originally laid, in M►ddloaez. The result of this will in all prop►►bility be that the action against the Times will be tried at the ensuing assizes, and before that against the Post can be reached. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 5. (Before Mr. Coin nisaioner PANE.) IN RE LEE.-RIGHT OF CREDITORS TO BE ADMITTED AS JUDGMENT CREDITORS. The bankrupt was a barge-builder at Hotherhithe. His HONOUR this day gave judgment upon the point that be had reserved for consideration. He said this was an application by a creditor under c. 257 of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, 1849, by which it is provided that each creditor who proves uuder a bank ruptcy shall be deemed a judgment creditor, and u p on application shall have a Certificate of the fact f ront t hi s court; upon which certificate ,he may obtain from the proper office of one of the superior courts at Westmin ster tee common writ of capies under which he may Im prison the bankrupt if that court refuses to protect him. The clause is one of twenty-five clauses in the new Bankrupt Act, constituting a code of criminal ot fences and punishments. They are all embraced in the 39th subdivision of the. Act, and are all headed by the formula, ‘. And with respect to offences against the law relating to bankrupts: Be it enacted,", &c. Thence it is apparent: that the object of' that clause was not to en force the payment of a debt, which, genera!ly speaking, is the object of the writ of capies ad satisfactendum, but to inflict punishment upon fraudulent debtors. Having reviewed the state of the bankrupt law from Henry VIII. to the, present time, his Honour proceeded to state that one of the advantages consequent upon the recent alteration of the law was, that, nu debtor could be pun ished by the Commissioner without the aid either of the assignees or a creditor, nor by a creditor without the concurrence of the Commissioner. His imprisonment could notahus continue a longer period than au impar tial person might deem necessary for example sake; c. 257 makes the assignee and each creditor judgment cre ditors, zed point* out bow they shall be enabled to arrest the bankrupt; and c. 259 provides that the bankrupt' shall not be released under one year's imprisonment, except by order of the Court. To apply these clauses to the case before me, the bankrupt Lee had behaved extremely ill to his creditora in Many respects, but he has also committed one of the offences spe cified in c. 256, that of putting a creditor to unnecessary expense by vexatiously defending an action. I therefore fell - in ob e di enc e t o C. 256. As soon bound as t me' judgment I was re= quested by the assignees to grant them, under c. 257, th e had r efu s e p rona protection,nee, certificate necessary to enable them to punish the bank rupt. lof course granted it, and I was then asked by a creditor who had been wantonly put to expense to grant him a similar one also. To this it was objected for the bankrupt, that as I had granted a certificate for the as signees I could not, under c: 257, grant another to an individual creditor, first, because the language of the clause was in the alternative "on the application of the and secondly. because it was inconsistent with old and recognised principles that a debtor should be in • execution et the suit of two persons for the same thbt, which the bankrupt would be if imprisoned by the assignees as trustees for all the creditors. and again by one cf the ere asiignees or of a creditor ;" itfreslchboats:igXeses objections, and am of were tru. tees. I have y for co w n l: opinion that there is no weight in either of them. As c d e it r .l e r f s ull to the latter, new ly, that it i 3 contrary to recognised principles that a debtor should be thus imprisoned, the answer is that the object of this imprisonment is not to compel payment (even instantaneous payment would not end the itnprisonment), the object is punishment; and that being so, the old principle has no application here. As to the first objection, founded on the language of the clause, I tun of opinion that the true meaning of the clause is, that the Commissioners must grant the certifi cate to all who apply. The object of the enactment being punishment of the guilty, Par liament . must have in nacting* in tended that all who would as sist . .that punish ment . should receive the utmost possible assistance, for no evil can arise frem the reasonable punishment of the guilty. If this Court were to hold otherwise it would lay itself open to fraudulent devices, through which the 1. guilty might escape. Under the present system of electing assignees, assignees in league with the bankrupt may be easily elected, as they often have been, and in all such cases the assignees we old instantly ask for the certifi• case to prevent others f:orn obtaining it, and would then take care not to use it, and thus the ends of public justice would be defeated. Such fraudi were formerly committed as to commissioners and fiats, whilst only one was allowed to exist at a time. They were taken 'out by persons in league with the debtor to prevent their being taken out by persons really hostile. It would be a most dangerous interpretation of this new law to expose it to such evasions. On the other hand no mischief can arise from the issue of any num ber of certificates, fer all can lead but to one impri sonment, and that , imprisonment will cease when the Court is of opinion that it ought to cease, having regard to the offences of which the bankrupt may appear to have been guilty. Upon the whole, therefore, I f ee l my self bound to grant a second certifi cate t o the individual creditor.
