James—There could be no mistake at all between the string connected with the pulley an d the string which tied it down. The excessive pres sure would injure the boiler. By the Foreman—The sudden breaking of the t axing at a pressure on the boiler of 601bs. to the squa re inch would not be felt by a shock. The boilers would prevent any serious consequences. It would not seriously _impede the progress of the boat, sinless the pressure was immense. Mr. Williams stated, In reply to Mr. Le Breton, that he would reduCe his investigation to writing in the course of the day, and endeavour to discover the day in which he journeyed by the boat. By Mr. M'lntyre—When he examined the valve be judged, from thewayin which it was tied that it could not move. _ _ _ By Mr. Le Breton;--But one of the four valves was tied. Only observed, however, one of the valves. Llewellyn Williams, of 16 .Tavistock-street, Covent-garden, clerk in the Custom-house, stated that he was on board the Cricket, about two months ago in company with his brother. On the voyage he pointed at a piece of yarn which was attached to the valve of the boiler. The rope was attached tnthe end of the lever of the valve. Did not touch it. Did not notice, to, what the rope was attached. Could not recollect, the date, as he. journeyed almost every day in one or other of•the boats of the company. Herman Wrede, of No. 5, King-street: Snow. bill, musical instrument-maker, said, on the Sunday before the explosion he journeyed with the.boat, and be noticed a piece of thick string tied round the right band side valve. Knowing that this was unusual he looked at the valve on the other side, and found that it was also tied, down. He was coming from London-bridge at the time he made these observa tions. The rope was tied near the centre of the lever ; the other valve vas similarly tied. " You won't catch me," added the witness, " taking another baporth."—(Laughter.) Both ropes were straight and tight. By Mr. James—The boat was on her passage when he noticed the valves tied. By the Jury—The valves were tied to force the boat along beyond its power. Went on board at Dyers' Hall Pier about three o'clock in the afternoon. Henry Craice, 11, Adam-street, Adelphi, surveyor, stated that he was on board the Cricket at the time of the explosion. Observed whilst on board that there was no escape of steam. Was on board from four to five minutes before the explosion took place. The boat was lying alongside the pier, and was afloat.— (The witnesses who were in the room were here, at the request of Mr Le Breton, desired to withdraw.) Observed nothing irregular except the non-escape of the steam. Was about twelve feet froni the funnel on the larboard side. By Mr. James—Knew when a boat was lying to that there should be an escape of steam. The people were coming off the boat when he went down to it. Could not tell how long the boats laid alongside. Saw two men and the unfortunate call-boy leaning against the iron casing of the boiler. Henry Rowland, of Warwick-street, Earl• street, Kennington, fishmonger, deposed that he was on board the Cricket at the time of the explosion, that he was injured by a blow on the face, and that he bad for some time been confined in the hospital. He sat down on the off-side, and immediately rose and went into the cabin, and having got a light for his pipe, he resumed his seat. In pa.sing he did not notice the engineer or stoker. Whil3t he was looking at the fruit of a costermonger near him he was struck in the face, and recollected nothing more until he recovered his consciousness at the hospital. Did not notice whether the steam was blowing off or not. Wm. Warren, of 12, Diana-place, New-road, engi neer, stated that he was employed as an engineer in the King's College workshop, and that he hadfre- . • quently been on board the Cricket. In the middle of April last he was a passenger by the boat from Ilun gerford and baclg. At London-bridge he had his attention drawn, after the boat had been lying along-. side a few minutes, to the fact that no steam was blowing off. Looked in the steam-box; and noticed a fine piece of spunyarn tied to the end of the lever of the saky- valve ; it was tied as near the end of the fulcrum as it could be tied. Went immediately down into the engine-room ; saw a stoker, but no one else, and noticed that both the safety-valves were tied. The ropes were attached to the beam. Touched them, and found them tremendously tight very tight indeed. They operated in this way,—the.safety valve was no safety-mlve at all. Got out as soon as he could after calling the attention of the stoker to the matter, who replied, " Oh! that is nothing." Got to the end of the boat as soon as possible. Had been on the boat once since, about the end of the same month. There were then no strings to either valve ; the steam blowed off at London-bridge. Was on the boat the Wednesday before she blew up. Found both valves fastened down as before. Did not go down into the engine -room, but got off the boat as soon as he could. He attended at the request Of Professor Cowper. The Coaosiza—lt was your duty to the public to come here. By Mr. M. Chambers—The strings were tied tight to the beam in front of the boiler. Had not spoken to any one connected with the boats about the explosion. Did not think he should know the stoker if he saw him. He was very black, as stokers gene rally were. There were four valves, two of which were safety—the other were spring valves, to be used in the event of the others going out of order. He supposed they were screwed down and could not be used. The best plan would be to have a safety-valve locked, the key of which should be kept by the com pany, so that, however much the other valves might be played with, one would act independently of anything the engineer might do. Never mentioned what he saw to any one. Certainly thought the tying of the valves dangerous. Frequently a man did no good— rather injury—by giving information, and often lost his character. By Mr. James—Thoug ht the engines would run faster if the v a l ves were not tied. Thesteam s hould f blow off when a vesse l was st i ll. There was pump connected with m os t engines, by usin g a whicho r A quantity of cold water mi g ht be injected and danger avoided. If the steam was not blowing off tt h e time of the explosion be should conclude th at the ,valves were tied as he hal seen them. By Mr. M'lntyre—The steam when he noticed the valves tied did not escape by the screw valves. By the CORONER— The use of the valve was to prevent explosions. If it were tied down, the boiler might as well be a blank. Did not think that the boiler burst from a deficiency of water, but from an inordinate pressure of steam. He was present whe n , A 36 boiler—the largest in London—at Meux s brewery, burst, said judged from that and his know ledge that there was plenty of water in the boiler. By a gentleman—Did not think a boiler could be constructed without valves. Great pressure of steam would burst a boiler 12 inches thick if there - were no valves. Mr. John D. Smith, of Bedford-square, distiller, stated that he was part proprietor of the boat with Alderman Thompson, :11r. Wm. Corry, of Verulam buildings, Gray's Inn-law., and Mr. Foreman, iron merchant, who possessed iron furnaces at London bridge. Was a proprietor from the commencement of the company in October, 1845. Mr. Joyce built the Cricket and her boilers and ma chinery. He th oug h t this was an important matter for the jury to know. Had been 'constantly on board in order to keep the parties e mp l oyed at their duty by his presence. lie in quently wt nt to the City by tfie boat. He was known perfectly well to the crew. Never heard of anything irregular until the quarrel took place between the engineer and Clarke. Went frequently into the engine-room, but never noticed that the valves were tied. Perhaps he did n ot l ook for such a thing, because he did not 'an ticipate it. lie had lost one of his eyes daring the last year, and perhaps could not Se e so well as other people ; but he thought he should was reported have noti ce d it if it had been done. It to hi m th at Cl ar k e h a d ti e d the valve on on ticular occas i on. Il e did no t reco ll ec t by e par= whom it was said, and he spoke to the engineer, Clarke, re specting the charge, but he denied doing so. The engineer's appointed and discharged their stokers. Clarke said he never should be guilty of such a thing. The man who made the complaint was not well thought of by the other men in the employ of the company, and therefore it was not so much heeded as if it had been made by some one else. He had a high opinion of Clarke, because he was re commended by Mr. Joyce and Mr. Meecham. He agreed with Mr. Joyce that the company should employ only men having a practical latoWledge, as working men, with engines. Clarke put up an engine for him at his -distillery--it was an engine of the same kind as the Cricket, except that it was not an oscil lating one. The fact of Clarke having been employed by Mr. Joyce as his foreman, and being the best man hie ohcf, he had great confidehce in him, i ce , pany took great pains to get good men, and in order to get them they paid 151. to 201. per cent. more than any other company on the river. .Clarkei,es foreman of the engineers, was paid 31. a week, the othei. drivers 21. 10s. 6d., and the stokers 1/. 9s. He trusted all engineering matters to Mr. Joyce, who was a man of codliderable skill. His contract with Mr. Joyce was that the boilers should be of the strongest kind, to bear 351bs. to 501bs. to the square inch. They were sent to Mr. Joyce to be examined on the 7th, and he believed the 10th of August. There were two screw valves, behind which no one touched, and the whole of the tubes and the water way were available for both boilers, as they were connected. A juryman —Are the strings used now ? Mr. Smith (with surprise)—No ; if a man were to use them I should instantly discharge him. The juryman —Well, then, sir, I declare to you that I went by one of the boats, and I lifted up the flap and found one :of the levers tied down.— (Great sensation.) Mr. Smith—Have you made a communication to the company ? The juryman—No. Mr. Smith said, strings were attached to the levers of the safety-valves, and which dropped down into the engine• room opposite the fire, not for the purpose of keeping the valves closed; but to promote the discharge of the steam by the other valves. By Mr. M. Chambers—His distinct communica tion to Mr. Joyce was to make him a strong work ing engine, and not to expend too much money upon the bright work ; but for his own character's sake, he did expend much labour upon the engines, in order to make them look well and Work well. He was satisfied with them in every way. It was quite compatible with halfpenny fares to use- boats and engines of the best construction. (The contract was here handed in and read. The boat was made like the Ant and Bee, to run as fast, to - have a stronger boiler, and to cost 2,5501.) Had heard since the oc currence that on one occasion Mr. Polleti's brother, an engineer to one of the boati, got . into the wheel of one of the boats to examine it, desiring Edwards, the stoker, to give. the wheel half a turn. He turned it twice, but no. injury ensued. Edwards said be thought he had done fur the He men tioned this merely to . show,-Lbe kind of man Edwards wis. He (witness) obtained a patent for the appli cation of Wolfe's principle to oscillating engines. The contract originally . was for one boiler; but he thought Mr. Joyce suggested it would be safer to have two, and offered to construct the other at his own expense, which, was done. _ _ . By Mr. M'lntyre—The superintendents ani others employed in the boats stated to him, when he made the investigation, that Clarke was in the habit of tying the valves, but he made an investigation which satisfied him that Clarke was not in the habit of tying them. But was it not surprising that all those who had come forward and stated that they had seen the valves tied, and had left the boat in dismay, had not written to him on the subject? He had never received a letter on the matter, notwithstanding the danger. They must have known the great danger to the passengers. By a juryman —Did not know whether the Cricket went as far as Southwark-bridge and was obliged to return from some cause, because he was in Scotland at the time. A minute book or all the occurrences was kept. Did not know that the Cricket was more out of order than the other boats. The engines some times got a little out of order, but not, -as far as he knew, the boilers. He did not examine the valves after the complaints, because he had every confidence in Clarke. J. J. Buttress, of No. 3, Thames-street, Green wich, a fitter in the employ of Mr. Joyce, deposed that he had driven the Cricket, and other boats, for Mr. Joyce. He drove her the first time on the - 28th of March, after Kent had left, anti before Clarke left. Drove her on. Good Friday; and after Clarke was appointed he went two or three passages with him. Was afterwards appointed to the Bee. About th last week in April he drove the Cricket fo about an hour, during the absence of Clarke but during the whole time he did not discover that the safety-valves at the extremity of the lever %ere fastened down tight with spun yarn, which was wound several times round. He cut them immediately he discovered them. On one occasion he saw two pieces of string hanging, but on the second they were gone. Mr. Meecham also saw the valves tied, and o. dered them to be cut. The effect of tying the valves increased the speed. He left the boats about half an hour after. When he told Clarke he denied it, but Edward. corroborated his statement. He mentioned it t Clarke, because he heard nothing from Mr. Joyc e as lie expected, respecting it. Clarke replied " Net I will not have you on board; you know what I mean ;" and Edwards was discharged by the seer-. tary, Mr. N ash, on the subsequent Saturday. 0 8 the 3d of August he was employed on board, and he saw the ropes hanging, but untied, at which the present stoker of the boat smiled. liy Mr. M. CHAMBERS-13elieved she went to' Greenwich in that state. She had made four pas sages on the day the valves were tied. It was his duty before beginning to work an engine to see that the safety•valves were free. He omitted to do so, but there was a steam gauge, and if the index had gone up from 4.5 to 80, he should know that there was something the matter with the valves. The index satisfied him that the pressure was not too great. Did not know whether the steam blowed off that morning or not. There was nothing to lead him to believe that there was anything wrong until he found the valves tied. Could not say whether Mr. Meecham saw the strings or not. Left the company about the middle of - August. Went back to Mr. Joyce's, where he is now employed. Re ceived a good character from Mr. Smith, stating that if there was a vacancy he should have it. Never quarrelled with Clarke, but he believed he was envious of him. By Mr. Joyce's Solicitor—Would as soon have imagined that there were rats in the fire as that the valves were tieed. ‘Vhen the gauge sunk he stirred up the fire. The strings were as tight as wire. By Mr. M'lntyre—ln the Ant and - Bee there are strings on the levers to raise them up. When he went en board that morning he had no time to exa mine her, as her time was up to start; thought at first that the levers were tied to trick him. If he had known that such a result would have taken place from the tying of the valves he would have at once acquainted his employers. His wages were 2/. ss. a week, not 2/. 10s. The inquest was then adjourned until 11 o'clock to-morrow. The other boiler will be sent to Woolwich to be burst, in order that the quality of the iron may be tested. FIIE LONDON GAZEiTE.

SUGAR.—To day thus was not much desire evinced to operate in Raw Sugar for home consumption or ex portation, but on the part of holders and importers firmness was generally manifested, although the market was a ell supplied. There was only a moderato demand for all sorts of West India Muscovado for the scale or pan, still the rates obtained were on a par with those of Friday for all qualities. At auction 121 hhds 7 tierces Barbadoes were all sold at market rates. REFINED —To day relied goods were operated in with with caution by the home trade, and the rates taken were 54s for brown grocery, and 54s 6d to 55s fur standard lumps. Tnere are many parcels on offer of all sorts. Bonded crushed Sugar is little required, and first sorts can be obtained at 31s to als 64 per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 1,276 bags of I3engal Sugar were chiefly disposed of, but diffi culty was experienced in ohtitining former rates—fine white Bemires went 48s 64, good middling and good 451 641 to 47 6 f, middling 44s 61 to 455, low 43, 6.1 to 443, damp and sashed 433 to 46s 6d, biit middling soft yellow was taken in at 38s to 38s 64. Of Singapore 501 bags were sold at moderate ratei—low soft yeliow at . 36s .61 to 375, good and fine browti 36s to 36 6d, ire codling 35s to 35s 6d percwt.

Of Mauritius Mu. lasses some parcels were sold at 16s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with little attention privately, and 36s Gd to 37s per cwt is the value of good ordinary. Of Plantation 218 bags were only in part sold—fine fine ordinary coloury at 49s to 50s low middling and middling 52s to 545, better quality was taken in at 60s, triage fetched 35s to 36:; 24 bales Mocha went at 56s for low middling, and at 34s to 35s for triage. The market for all sorts of Coffee suited for home consumption or exportation has a dull appearance, and prices tend downwards. TEA.—Little desire has been evinced to operate in good and fine descriptions of Congou, but merchants generally are not disposed to lower their prices, and c o t 2ms:o common the at latter . 9d to T ed have obtained is Id to Is 5d for the former, and Is 6d t prices. whilst a fair business has been concluded o ,9he lower qualities brougnt firm but the mid and mid sorts were °Pe' rated i lOti t• n. with, caution, good common 9jd to and easier rates were generally subtnine&to onalsa. Etartof hcaders, viz., 100 to la per lb. Of common Con s there is. only a mode , rate quantity on offer. The market for the better quail- Vies of aree4 is ifz as inactive state, and Lavin 0 Air supply, prices continue on the decline; but in common, large - purchases have been made, in consequence of the low rates that prevail. All sorts of Young Hyson, how ever, have been in excellent request, and brought stiffer rates. In Scented Teas there has been little passing. SPIRITS.—To - day Jamaica Rum of all kinds was in excellent request for all purposes : holders evinced much firmness, and obtained 3s 9d to 4s 4d for 30 to 38 per cent overproof, 4s 5d to 4s 9d for fine, and 4s 10d to 58 for superior. Leeward Wand is, however, dull of sale at 2s 3d for proof, and East India is lld to 2s. Demerara is wanted, and the parcels sold were at 3s 5d to 3s 6d for 33 to 37 per cent. overproof. COCHINEAL. — This afternoon there was not much desire - to operate, and 87 bags of Honduras at auction went at ld to 2d per lb decline for ordinary sort, but the better kinds nearly fetched full rates—ordinary foxey damp silvers sold at 4s 8d to ss, middling to fine bold 5s Id to .5s Bd, and low black 55 Id to 5s 5d per lb. RICE —To-day East India Rice met with attehtion, and privately a good business was done: the parcels ofiered at public sale, amounting to 5,282 bags, were nearly all sold at full rates. INDIOo.—The quarterly sale is fixed for the 12th October, and the quantity that will be offered is ex pected to be large, amounting to 16,000 chests ; at present 14,292 chests are declared. East India of all de scriptions met with little attention from exporters or the home trade, although there are sellers rather under the July sale ; prices are not expected to be' much larger, as the stock is smaller than it was in the past season the deliveries are larger, the importation smaller, and prices lower. Spanish is little required, and the limited business done privately was at barely former rates ; at auction 120 serous Guatimala sold at 2s 6d tb 3s 4d for mid to:good. • Ons —The arrivals of Fish Oils have increased since our-last report, and the demand not having been so good, there is less firmess on the part of bolders. Seal is offered upon rather lower terms. but without meeting with much attention, and for pale 271. 10s. to 28/. have been accepted ; at auction 40 tuns were sold. Cod has been operated in , with caution at 271. ss. to 2715. 10s. and holders are inclined to sell, although a small stock, but it will be much larger ere long. Southern met with little attention, and low to middling quality can be ob tained at 241 lOs to 254 good to fine 251 103 td 261 10s, and•there is a fair quantity on offer. Sperm', however, has-been in good request, but 'prices do not improve, although the supply is less plentiful; none .has been offered at auction, but 100 tuns Southern and 40 t una . Sperm are declared for Friday. Although fartherre duced rates have been accepted for Linseed Oil, still exporters have only taken trifling parcels, whilst tire home demand has been limited. The purchases made for forward delivery have been _ of. littie,moment, al though at. 26s to 26s 6d, there are sellers; prices are, however, nut expected to be much lower on account''of the large consumption. In Rape Seed Oil sales to a fair extent have been made. Palm met with greater •.atten tion, but prices cannot be quoted higher; and privately many parcels have been sold, 33s to 36s paid for fair to fine quality; but - the stock is on the increase. Cocoa Nut is much wanted, and, owing to the small supply, buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced rates ; at auction 25 hhds Ceylon sold at .58s to 603'9d, and 40 puns repacked Cochin at 50a 6d to 51s 3d.: In Olive large purchases have been made, whilst on the part of holders th ere i s fi rmness . Lard Oil is little wanted, and can be obtained at 43s to 48s per cwt. African Ground Nut Oil is dull of sale at 08a to 395. TALLOW.—The trade continue to purchase Russian with caution on the spot, and to take only sufficient for their present wants; prices keep on the decline. There are sellers of fine P Y.C. at 46s to 46s 6d, and old at 45s 3d to 45s 6d, whilst an impression exists that pric.'s have nut yet arrived at their lowest pint on account ot the immense quantity there is to come in. For delivery in the last three months of the year the business concluded has been small, although 45s 9d to 46s have been taken for fine new P. Y. Candle. Home made has been operated in with caution at 46s 6d to 47s nett cash. Of other sorts the supply continues to be good, and the trade operating with caution prices continue to give way. At auction 787 buxes of South American fetched 47s to 47s 91 for fine quality ; l5O hhds of North Am e ri c an Butchers melted 45s 6d to 464 per cwt. The stoelt of 'fallow exceeds that ot last year, but prices are much above that time. - THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14,_ 1847..

This bankrupt, a ribbon. manufacturer, ,of Co ventry, now applied to pass his last examination. It appeared by the statement of the solicitor to the assignees, that the fiat was issued as far back as the year 1839. at which period the bankrupt proceeded abroad, taking with him some money, which, how ever, was brought back for the benefit of the credi tors. The case had remained silent from 1830 until about one month ago, when, upon the proposition of the bankrupt, the creditors assented to .a composition of 2s. 6(i. in the pound, and to have the fiat super seded. The case now came before the Court in pur- Silence of an order of the Court of Review, but the great difficulty was as to form, it being proposed that the last examination should be passed without filing a balance-sheet. His HoNova said that he would not pass an exa mination without a balance-sheet, and would not make - anY precedent in a single case. fhe solicitor for the bankrupt said that two divi dends had already been paid, and a balance. sheet was useless • His HONOUR inquired if the bankrupt intended to apply for his certificate ? The solicitor for the bankrupt replied that he did. HiS HONOUR observed That e balance-sheet must be filed, in order to induce him to say that the bankrupt had made a full and true disclosure. Under all the circumstances, the case must be adjourned for the balance-sheet to be filed. - Adjourned accordingly. IN RE SARAH CRALONER. This was a meeting for choice of assignees in the : terraee.

The bankrupt was examined at some length, and Charles street, t a or s oe e t and t l h y i s eas b sts a be n ot k su r rl u n3 p e t 1., stated that she had given her daughter money to the extent of about 2001. to buy articles of stock, instead of doing which, it was alleged that she appropriated ittoohterownuse, and exp en d e d i t i n b uy i ng opera and her tickets to see Jenny Lind, which she (the daughter) had given away. There was also a dress, wh of Po which the daughter represe n t e d t o b e f or a y oung lady P or tland -place, but the witness never receiv...l anything for it. Its value was stated to be 60guineas. His HoNouit adjourned the case for further inquiry POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THAM ES. A lad named John Ji lliott , belonging to the ship Helen, in the London Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing three gallons of brandy. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was stopped on Saturday evening by a gate-keeper, named Cornwall, as he was leaving the dock, and two bottles, each containing a pint and a half of brandy, were found concealed under his waistcoat. On being questioned he said he took the brandy out of the captain's cabin. He was given over to the custody of Sayre, a dock-constable, and he stated that he effected an entrance to the cabin through the bulk head. Sayre very soon ascertained this statement was false. The bulkhead and the cabin had not been disturbed, hut on searching the prisoner's bed-place, on the larboard side of the halt deck, he found two more bottles of brandy. The prisoner then confessed he had plundered the cargo ; and Sayre, upon going into the hold, discovered that a hogshead of brandy had been very recently broached. _The officer gauged the cask and took a sample from it, which corre sponded in quality aril colour with the brandy in the four bottles. The deficiency in the cask amounted to three gallons. • Mr. William Galsworth, the master of the. Helen, ' said the vessel, which belonged to Bristol, where the.owners resided, was on the point of sailing. He gave the lad a good character, and said he had been 'apprenticed thiee years, and sailed in the ship all that time. If the Magistrate would overtook it he would take the lad to sea again. This. was the first time he had heard of any dishonesty on the part of the lad. Mr. YARDLEY said he could not by any possibility lobk over such a serious robbery as the prisoner had committed. It was an extremely bad case; and it' he was to allow the prisoner to escape without punish ment, he should be holding out an encouragement to crime. In consideration that the ship was going to sail immediately, and that it would be very inconve. nient to detain the captain on shore, he would deal with the case summarily. He was scarcely justified,c however, in not sending the case for trial. The of fence Was one punishable by transportation. To pass it over would be trifling with justice. The object of punishment was to deter others from committing felonies. He should convict the prisoner of a misde meanour, in having unlawful possession of the two b th o e ttl t e i s ou o s f e sb o r f c and o y r f r o e u c n ti d on. upon him, and impose the full penalty award e d by l a w for such an offence, which was two m on th s ' imprisonment and hard labour in filly loe u q. - --- STRANG E VISITORS.—On Saturday afternoon , as the ostle r o f the Queen ' s H ea d Inn, Bishop Auckland, was sweepi ng t h e front o f t h e inn, he found what he called " a great ugly fl y, " w hi c h proved to be a very year at If unw i ek colliery, near Bishop Auckland.

At the last monthly meeting of the Perth Town Council the recent interruption in Glen Tilt was taken up. The following is a report of the proceed- ings : Bailie Gasna said he had a motion to make con cerning a matter in which both the community of Perth and the public generally were deeply interested. He referred to the attempts making to shut up Glen Tilt, and other roads through the Highland passes, which had long been open to the public. The mem bers of council must all have read in the newspapers of the conduct of the Duke of Atholl to the Professor of Botany from Edinburgh and his pupils, whom he compelled to take a very circuitous route to the inn at Blair. It appeared, also, that the Duke applied to some justices of the peace for warrants to commit the whole party to the Perth gaol, but they had all, very much to their credit, declined to meddle with the matter. He had then applied to several writers in Pitlochrie, who had also refused to interfere. Bailie Greig had always understood that the public had im memorial usage to pass through the glen. He knew many persons in Perthshire and Inverness-shire who have enjoyed this privilege upwards of forty years. Nor was he aware that the Noble Duke's father or grandfather ever objected to it. In the death of the latter nobleman the county lost one of the best pa triots and benefactors ; for, to love of his country and great good taste of the picturesque, he has rendered the Highlands of Perthshire much and justly celebrated. It might, perhaps, be considered a pity that the pre sent Noble Duke was not successful in sending to gaol these tourists, for an action of damages would have enlightened the public as to the rights of all par ties. It would now be necessary, he presumed, for the society in Edinburgh to inquire into the matter, and, if advised, to raise an action of declaration before the proper court, in which the country will no doubt take, a great interest. .Before reading the motion he had prepared, he might say that he was sure no body of men had a greater , respect for the dignity of the peerage than this council, and he was sure they would be the last to intrude themselves on any nobleman's grotinds ; yet, if it can be established, as has now been alleged, that . the public have immemorial right of ac cess through Glen Tilt, and that the Duke of Atholl had SQ acted towards these tourists, he could not do a more serious injury to his order—for the Noble Duke could but ill afford to lose any popularity he had in this town and county. The Noble Duke must also be told, that while his extensive property has its rights, it has also its `obligations. The community of this city, as well as all other large towns, which pour out annually so many tourists, to this part of the world, are much interested in this case. He would now move—" That und , rstanding the reports in cir culation of the alleged interruption of his Grace the Duke of Atholl to a number of tourists some days ago in Glen Tilt, the council is of opinion that this conduct of the Noble Duke ought to be brought under the review of the society at Edinburgh for the protection to the public of ancient roads and path ways ; and remit to the Provost's committee to in quire into the same, with instructions to them to cor respond with the said society on the subject, and to report." Bailie WALLACE said he was as much alive to the great injury sought to be inflicted on the public in this case as any one could possibly be. He had tra velled the road referred to over and over again, and had, as often as he did so, admired its grandeur and picture:lue beauty. He regretted exceedingly that the Duke of Atholl had seen fit to throw impediint nts in the way of the public in their route through Glen 'Lilt; but he nevertheless doubted whether the coun cil should come to a vote on the subject, at least tor the present. He thought such a proceeding would be premature. In his opinion, it would be better to wait until they saw what steps the Edinburgh Association would'take in the matter. _ _ Mr. DAVIDSON, writer, took the same view of the subject as Bailie Wallace. He would not justify the shutting up of the glen ; but he had little doubt that the statements which had appeared in the public prints were one-sided, and, as a matter of course, highly coloured. He moved the previous question. Mr. TURNBULL thought it entirely out of place in the Town Council of Perth setting itself up against the highest nobleman of the county. It was well known that gentlemen had been at great cost and trouble in preserving places for deer forests, and it was not to be thought that students- waniering about whither they would in such localities, could do so without destroying the sport of these gentlemen. Those conversant with the subject knew that the least inroad upon the privacy of the deer sent these ani mals to an entirely different part of the country. It was doubtless a consideration of this kind that made the Duke of Atholl say to the Professor and his young friends what he would not have said in a calmer mood. He (Mr. Turnbull) regretted to see Glen Tilt shut up - but he thought the Council should refrain from meddling with the matter. He seconded Mr. Davidson's motion. ' Bailie BARLAS said there was no doubt a heavy grievance here, and one that ought to be looked at boldly in the face. Instead of this being a question which was beyond the jurisdiction of the Council, as some of the previous speakers had hinted, it was, in his opinion, one upon which popular bodies should bestow peculiar attention ; and there was no body to whom the present question applied in a stronger man ner than the town Council. of Perth. It was, in every respect, a local question. Soon the railways at present in the course of construction in:this quarter, would vastly increase the number of tourists to the Highlands, and were they to sit tamely down and see one of their greatest attractions taken from them, and that one, too, to which ihe community had an inde feasible right from time immemorial ? In his (Bailie Barlas's) opinion, the present attempt of the Duke of Atholl to shut out the public from Glen Tilt was to be attributed to a spirit engendered and fostered by the game-laws ; and he was persuaded that, had no such abomination as these laws existed on the statute•book, the public would never have heard of such an unwarrantable project. But it was impera tively, necessary that they should see what could be done in the way of inquiring into the right of the Duke to act as he had done, and to resist him if it was found he had acted illegally. For this purpose it was highly desirable that the Council should com• municate immediately with the Association in Edin burgh, with the view of learning the bearings of such,a question. Bailie Greig, he thought, deserved the thanks of the community for his movement in the matter, and he had much pleasure in seconding his motion. Mr. TURNBULL—You forget the facilities given by the Duke of Atholl to visitors who wish to view his grounds at Dunkeld. Bailie BARLAS—The Duke pays himself sweetly for doing so. It was well known that heavy fees were exacted from every one who visited the Dun keln grounds, and that the whole of these fees went into the Duke's pocket. He (Bailie Barlas) was cer tain there was not another Duke in Scotland did the like. [" These fees, we are informed (says the Perthshire Advertiser), are as follows :—One person Ss. 6d., two persons 35., and a shilling a-head for any greater number. A gentleman told us on Monday that he had lately paid 7s. for the privilege accorded to the party with which he was connected.] Mr. SHEDDER also thought the Council were under obligations to Bailie Greig for having brought this matter forward. Bailie WALLACE did not rise for the purpose of un necessarily prolonging the discussion, but he could say, from good authority, that there were frequent complaints, by strangers, in regard to the stated charges made for viewing the grounds of Dunkeld. It was but the other day an English gentleman so expressed himself to him (Rae Wallace). Now, this contrasted but ill with the liberality of Sir Wil liam Drutntnond Stewart and other proprietors, where strangers are permitted freely to visit their beautiful grounds. It = was to be regretted that any tax should be exacted, because it would no doubt, to a certain extent, prevent the influx of strangers, who do so much good by visiting such a beautiful locality. Mr. W. Imam did not think the Council was by any means exceeding its duty in taking up this ques tion. Other' town councils had done so, and surely they, who were more intimately connected with the subject than any of them, had a perfect right to ques tion the legality of the proceedings. He thought, .however, that delay for a month might be attended with advantage, and would enable them to get at both sides of the question. Provost SiDET agreed in the view taken by Mr. Imrie. Bailie GREIG said the question was one of the simplest nature. It was this—the right of the public to a free passage through Glen Tilt has existed from time immemorial. Shall we, therefore, sit quietly. down, and see this right filched from us, and all be cause the Duke of Atholl is desirous of securing quiet quarters for his hares or his deer ? Mr. DAVIDSON (with considerable emphasis, and throwing from hill a rather nice-looking silk um brella).--I have no doubt this is altogether a popu larity-hunting movement. Shall we, I ask, set ourselves up as inquisitors of the Duke of Atholl's conduct ? Mr. GREIG.—Most undoubtedly. A man's public conduct is public property, and must submit to be ,canvassed by the public. As corroborative of what had been stated regarding the conduct of other landed gentlemen, he might mention that the proprietor of Dirleton not only allowed visitors uninterruptedly to view his grounds, but had provided for them a splendid bowling -green, with a large supply of bowls, where they might enjoy themselves at this exhilerating amusement to their heart's content. Some further discussion followed. Mr. Ross promised to have "a full, true, and par ticular account" of the whole transaction ready for the Council by next meeting, if they would refrain from going further with it in the meantime, Lutat sail ha knew the glen well, and re. membered, when he was a boy, that there was a public road through Glen Tilt ; but then there were no fewer than sixty tenants in the glen, who had been turned out since to make room for the deer. At that time, which was about sixty years ago, a prohibition was issued against all boasts of burden being taken through the glen; but he had never before heard of people being excluded. Mr. TMOMAS thought the conduct of the Duke of Atholl in the transaction deserved the reprobation of every patriotic Scotchman, and would willingly sub scribe to try the question elsewhere—(Bailie Grrig —That's going considerably further than I propose) —but in the meanti:ne he did not think it prud,nt that they should move in the matter. A motion was afterwards made that the Council should delay for a month, till thy saw what steps were taken by the Edinburgh Association, and had some further information on the subject ; and upon this being put to the vote against Bailie Greig's mo tion, ten voted upon each side, when the Provost gave his casting vote for delay. It is said that there can be no doubt that when the subject again comes forward Bailie Greig's views will be espoused by a large majority of the Council.— Witness. MILITARY STATIONS.

Surely, then, the inferior class passengers are entitled to a little more respect and accommodation than that received oc casionally by those who thus actually contribute millions of sterling money out of their own hard-earned gains. A poor man complains, in the Times, that the accommo dation and respect represented by the munificent adjunct of a penny, or even a halfpenny, candle, during the transit of Parliamentary or cheap class trains at night, was denied to a carriage of forty persons of both sexes, paying, in all, at least 161. 36. 4d. to the company (the South Eastern), who nevertheless really "could not afford it!" If the object of railway companies be to disgust the poorer classes, and prevent them from presumptuously riding by rail at all, we could help them to a much more effectual scheme than that—a scheme once most effec tually adopted in the evacuation of certain other "classes" by a chemical professor in the modern Athens, we remember, on occasions when the occupants were induced to remain too long in the voluptuous enjoyment of cheap but fascinating odours in in the courseofthwehpro fess or's experiments n organic chemistry —and by the way, we would recommend as attractive towards first-class carriages, whilst the professor's succedaneum —sulphuretted b) drogen—would be found in practice a much more expeditious evacuant of the classes of in ferior or less desirable grades than mere darkness.— The Builder. CITY Or LONDON SEWAGE.—The first meeting after the recess of the Commissioners of Sewers for the city of London, takes place at Guildhall, this day, and it is expected, the propriety of applying to Parliament for more extensive powers to purity the City of puny of its nuisances will be taken into consideratioa. This step origirates with the Commissioners, in consequence of Lord Morpeth's Bill for the Health of Towns which was introduced into Parliament last session.
