SELECT VESTRY. The usual pericdical meeting of the Select Vestry was held yesterday. The Rev. Rector Campbell presided. The other members present were Messrs. Shaw, Bairstsw, Byer, Owen, Richards:AL Chesney, Whitty, Whitby, J. Jones, Mellor, T. 4 yred, Hughes, and Gibson. The Clerk read the minutes of last meeting, which were 07nfirmed. TIIK WORkHOVSZ COMMITTSE. From the minutes of the proceeding; of this committee, it appeared that on the 16th instant there were 1,964 inmates in the Workhouse. The number of sick were 513, inAuding 27 fever, and 18 itch cases. The number of vagrants was 399, including 253 men, 95 women, and 51 ehiithen. The number cf children in the industrial schools on tho same date was 908. This committee recommended the appointment of a sub-committee, for the purpi-se of ex4mining end seeing that all the articles supplied by contract to the Workhouse were equal to tbe samples sent in with the tenders. Mr. SHAW, in moving that tho proceedings of the com mittee be confirmed, proposed that Mr. Gibson should be added to the special sub-committee. I,lr. BARSTOW objected to the appointment of any such committee, on the grounds that it was the duty of the offi?ers to see that the g lola supplied were equal to the samples sent in, and expressed it as hie opinion that the members of it would be placed in an invidious position, as they would have to come in contact with the tiadessaen of the town, which was no part of their duty. Mr. SHAW considered that the appoin-ment of such a committee was very necessary, as it was impossible that the officers cauld have a k, owlegige of all the articles used in the house, and he did not believe that Mr. Bairstow himself knew much about flsnnel or cloth, much less about physic (Laughter.) • Mr. WHITTY thought that the appointment of suea a committee was very desirable Abut two Tars ago a similar committee had b>-en appointed, and he thought that it was then in exi-fence For his part he did not see that there was anything in Mr. Bairstow's objection as to eomirg in contact with the tradesmen. They had a duty to perform to the ratepayers, and he did not see there was any more obje ttion in comparing the samples as a special committee, or in doing it as v:sito-s. Mr. GIBsoN supp )tted the appointment of the committee, and said there would be no difficulty in carrying out the objects, as the samples were so arranged in the store room that they had only to go and compare them, and any person with eyes could see if they correspo-e'ed. He would not object to serving on the committee, although he had (pee enough to attend to, and thought that Mc Bmitb, who had retired from busines, should have been selected. Mr. B4IRTIOW thought the appointment cf such a com mittee implied a want of confidence in their officers, and he thought that the Vestry had better at onco move a vote of want of confidence in their officers, for it was clearly their duty to see that the articles supplied were squ'l to the samples. _ Mr. BnAw denied that there wag Emy:warat of confi dent.e. Mr. Wiirrry said it Wag impossible that officers could be acquainted with every particular article that came into the house. How could it be imagined that Mr. Cr.rr could be acquainted with the quslity of medicine or drugs. After some further desultory conversation, the p-oceed irgs were confirmel, and the committee was appo nted. TIM INDUSTRIAL SCEIOOLS. From the proceedings of this committee it appeared that 'they had had under consideration tho snh;ect of getting snore of the blys to volunteer into the 9ch regiment of foot. Ten of the boys had volunteered, but the relatives of seven of them had o'jected to their tiling so, and the committee reclmmended, that after the expiration of three months, ttie re'ativea of such boys should support them, or find them some employment. Mr. CHUM •vished to know .if the Vestry had the power of turning boys out of the schools, if they did not enlist for soldierA. Mr. nIVEN moved the confirmation of the proceedings, and in eluding to the resolution, with reference to the boys, said that they were all of an age to provide for themselves, and bad volunteered to enliet r but that the relatives of seven of them had been consulted and they had objected to it, and therefore, the committee having dens) all they could to find theta employmeat, had thought it right to call upon snch relatives to provide far them. Mr. CanerEv said some of the poorer classes had a great objection to their children enlisting in the iztng, and requested that the ages of the boys be read over. Mr. BAIRS row said they were between fourteen and Steen years old, and it was not likelj that the army would be troubled with such boys except as trtunpeteeg. They would not be wanted for fighting—only to blow the trnm- Pel• Me. Cuss NZT We'l,"now, you have bloomed your trum pet (Laughter.) The CLERK then read over the names of the lads, from which it appeared that the first three were respectively aged 13, 13, and 1,5, but these had no relatives or friers-is, and the other seven, Nihon friends had objected to their volunteering, were respectively 14, 13, 14, 13, 14, 14, and 13 years of age. Mr. WilliTY said he did not agree with the recommen dation of the School Committee. He did not think it was right, beesue the relatives of these boys had objected to their enlisting into the army, that they should be called upon to suppnt them. They had no right to cmpel the boys to enter the army as a profession for the rest of their lives. He knew there was a great objection amongst the lower and working classes to have their children go for soldiers, and he could not see why they should be COOl - to do it. They had a claim for support on the parish, and he could not see, because the relatives objected to their enlisting, that they shoniti be turned adrift. However patriotic sane persons might be. he objected to it, and moved, as an amendment, that that portion of the proceedings be referred back to the committee for recon sideration. Mr. Cues:sae seconded the amendment. • 11uotuts sa;t3, if they were ont of the so.bools, there would be nothing t) prevent the boys from enlisting, but while they were there they were cunfirAe3, and prevented from doing so. The CuattaaN said: It had been amerted that they were compelled to support these children after they were able to provide fur themselves. That he denie4 altogether. They were not cornpellet to .support children after they could support themselves. He Ilion& that after they had ben provided with an ocmpation, and the relatives objected to it, that they should be called upon to ktep them themselves, and not call upon the ratepayers to do so. Mr. CHZSICZT wished to hnom it children of 13 years of age had the power of electing what they would be _ _ _ Mr. Btrnsrow did not agree with the sentimentality shown by some psople, when talking of the poor. some objected to their being sent into the coal pits to get a living—some to their being chimney sweeps ' and what he wanted to know teas —what ware they do with the children ? Were they to make them all gentlemen ? were they to make them clergymen and attorneys? If they were not to find some occa2ation for them, what was to become of them A VasTuTmkx : Rend them to the grocer's. (Laughter.) Mr. Wurrrr said he had seen some of the boys that had been sent into the army return, and had to be sup ported out the rates ; but not so much se in other cases, where they had been put to a mechanical business. He objected to the boys being sent to enlist into the army, because ho knew that their relatives had a reat objection to it. Mr. Owalts rcpl'ed, and said he did not agree with the morbid sentimentality evinced against the bu 3 s going into the army. They had d•,ne all they could to find them employment, and it it did not snit the relativeP, why they meat maintain them themselvei. Mr. WHIM : That ig 3 our courtesy. Mr. CIIESNZT : I call it tyranny. The Bard then divided, when the orginal mo`ion was tarried, only three persons voting for the amendment. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. The pr ceedings of this committee contained the follow ing letter from the Polr Law Board, in reference to the late surcharge by the auditor : P307.13W Board.

Th 3 board find that the rector and churchwardens of the parish of Ltwerpool hava a!qu'red a cemetery 'for the parish under the autho rity of a local act rf parliament, namely the 4 G4o, IV., cap. suds., lad that they have 'not 'acquired it for any pertronaliy beneficial object. Tile board also fled that the fees payable in respect of inter scents *herein are settled by a subsequent act, the 10 Geo. IV., cap. si. The cemetery is, thartfora, one which 'has been established ender the authority of parliament'; and, moreover, under the autho f rip of a special, and' not of a general, act 'of parliament. It appears that the wadi*, ender these car, timstances, conlders Mkt the 16 and 17 Vic., cap. 134, sec. 7,:applies to thin cemetery, and prevents other than the fees limited by the 15 an.; 16 Vie., cap 85, efc. 49, from being paid in respect of pauper burials therein.

In t gat case the proceeiings were taken with reference to a violation or an cr er in council, which directed that, excepting in existing private vaults and graves, no t more than one body should be buried in the same grave; but there does not appear to the board to be any reason for supposing that the legisiature tutelar:lei to use the same words in different senses in the two sections ( ec. 5 and sec 7) of the same act; or th .t the tour: would give duff rent constructions to those words in inte-pre'ing the two sections. The board are of opinion, the refo - e, t' at the limitatim of the amount of the fees payable on parper burials in cemeteries, contained in the 15 and ►6 Vic., cap. 85, s.c. 49, appli s only to ceme'eries which are established as co nmerei It specu'ations, and not to a cemetery such as tile one now in question ; and that thereto.° the decision of the auditor, with respect to the disal:owance of the sum of ,e 27 13a 61, and the surcharge cf the came upon yoa, cannot be sustained in a point of law.

The cmstable saw her g) into several shops, and, suspecting that her intentions were not right, he followed her. In a shop in Berry-street he arrested her ste ding soma feathers, and on her person he found some gold broaches, lockets, bracelets, and other articles, and also two crosses that she had stolen from Mr. Gibson's shop, where she had purchased toms calico. It was also found that she had stolen one of the broaches and a locket from the shop in Bold-street. She was sent for trial. Will'am Helsby, a sh-emaker, was sent to gaol for seven days for not supporting his wife. A LIKING FOR COPPER.—J3mes Ward, a labourer, was charged with having stolen a pound's worth of copper from the shFp Defiance. The prisoner was observed leavin the dock wi'h the copper, and when taken into custody, he flung it into the dock. He hid been twice convicted for stealing copper. He was seat for trial. A joine-, named John Belt, was charged with steal:ng a large quantity of copper nails from the ship Sarah Anne. The prisoner was stopped leaving the Prince's-dock with ten pounds wenght of the nails in his possession, and the captain of the vet,el said he lost ab. - ut 701bs. of nails of the same tort during the week. The prisoner was working on board the ship. He was sent to jail for three months with hard labour. STEALING A Cow,---William M. Kane, rather a respect able•looking person, was charged with having stolen a cow. Officer 434 saw the prisoner selling a cow at the market under value, and on asking him some questions, he said he purchased the cow at Limerick on Thursday ; but this not being satisfactory, be arrestsd him, and suh4equen•ly it was discovered that the caw bad been stolen from Mr. Pick•horn, of ildmund.street, Role. The prisoner admi!ted that he stole the cow, but alleged that he was in deep distress, which induced him to do so. Hs was remanded. Boum - v.—William Baineq, the keeper of a bvi house in Albion-street, was charged with having stolen £7 from a sailor, named Ett,?,h M‘Guinness. The prosecutor was drunk in a house in Albion-street,. when the primer entered, and, 83 alleged, stole the money. Mr. Block was for the prisoner, and cross-examined several witnesses who appealed for the prosecution, but the evidence was not shaken, and the prisoner was sent for trial. THE SWINDLER' —Mark Noble. who had been several times remanded on charges of having swindled several coach makers, was brought up. Hr. Almond was for the prosecution. The details of this case appeared on two or three Lrmer days. The case was gone into de novo. The prisoner was fully committed !or trill at the sessions, on two charges—one for obtaining money under false pre tences, and the second for obtaining a 84t of harness in like manner. Tide CA BINET MiliSFA—Mr. Grimmer applied to his Worship to take bail for the five cebinet makers, who were committed on Saturday for a conspiracy. Mr. Bremner attenjed for Mr. Bradley, and said he was sorry to say the committal of the men did not prevent the picquft system. Mr Mansfield asked why the master cabinet-makers had not adopted stringent measures to prevent such proceedings ?' If other partied were charged with a similar offence, he would send them for trial also. He would take bail in £2O caeh for the prisoners, but on their liberation, if they were seen about Mr. Brexiley's, or any other cabinet-makers, intimidating men, he would put a very heavy rule of bail on them tor their good behaviour. Me. Clough said orders hal been given to the police regtrdieg the " picque's." His Worship told Mi. Grim mer he had better inform . his clients of what he had stated. aCFOIrIi MESSRS. BCLTON MID CROPPER. AN INNOCENT "BIT OF A STICK."—ANOTHRB " BUCK STIEN."— James Norton, a confectioner, living at 26, Bt. James's-place, summoned Thomas Griffiths and Alfred Bolton, with having assaulted him on Friday list. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant, and Mr. Bluck for the defen dant As stated, Mr. Norton i3,a confectioner, and holds another position as a local preacher ; Mr. Griffiths is a cruci ble maker, and Mr. Boltou a "barman" in a public house, close to Mr. Norton's ; all the-parties seemed very respect able. The teiee, in bearing, lasted nearly two hours, and alternately caused much laughter The history of the affair was as-follows. Tne care was opened by Mr; Cobb, and, as sustained by the evidence he called, it appea ed that on Friday last 'he defendant Griffiths went into the bakehouse of eomplenant, which adjoins the back: premises of the public , house, where the defendant Bolton conducts the business. Griffiths, who,..accerding to the evidence, Was not quite sober, acted in-a manner not quite in accord ance with the principles of politeness, as hid down by oar groat fashionab!e author, Lord Chesterfield—the Chester field of 13Ctyears ago. Noe. content with that, he accused same one; or all of the bakers, in Mr. Norton's place, of stealing his stick, which he said was not worth three half pence, but he diered all the men a pint of ale- each, if they would-restore him this." darling kippeen of a stick r' The men, although most anxious to get the pint of ale, ware utterly incapable of complying with'the conditions— returning the "innocent stick," for the best reason, they had not got it. Mr. Griffiths kicked up a row in the bake house, and - the complainant being called on to put out Mr. Grifidis, the latter assaulted him. He was knecked down and trampled on, and, as several witnesses s wore, Mr. 1331- ton came up and "thumped" the complainant at the time. Several witnesses were examined, pro et con, and cross examined, but the main fasts were not disputed on either side. At the cot clueion of the case, the magistrates decided on fining Mr. Griffiths X 3, and Mr. Bolton XI and mete. The latter, on- paying the fine, made a remark of a most improper and disgusting description towards Mr. Cobb, and then a, regular " rnekskitt” fel owed. Tite learned gentleman properly emiplained of the observation, and, alter a full investigation of the case, the bench fined Bolton lOs and costs for having used the observation, although Mr. Cobb, with his usual kindness, bogged that the cffetder might be let off. '1 he megietrates, however, thought the detendant had acted so grossly towards the Court and Mr. Cobb, that they could not infiTct a less penalty, at the same time giving credit to Mr. Cobb for his kind interference.

Now, Mr. Editor, I think " Non- M mopolist," and " Visitor," are inclined ralt.ir to )rnuch.to restrict the " liberty of the subject."

CATTRALL —ln this action, the plaintiff, for whom Mr. Roby appeared, sctight to recover the sum of £1 15s under the following somewhat n , vel circumstances. The plaintiff resides in Oxford-street, and some time since, the outside of his house was being painted at the expense of his landlord. The defendant, who is a journeyman painter, is in the employ of the party who contracted to do the work, and was seat by his master to execute it. In the course of the work he had occasion to raise the drawing-room window, and in attempting to get on the sill, his foot slipped, and the contents of the paint pot which he carried in his hand were scattered over the carpet. The carpet was much injured, and one " breadth" had to be altogether replaced at the above vat. The party who had the contract refused to pay anything towards the damage, and the plaintiff acc,ordingly brought the present action against the workman himself. His Honour said that no dopbt the action mid be sus'ained, but th I claim could eleo be made good against the defendant's em_loyer, who, he regretted, was not the person b'oug'it before the court. Verdict for the plaintiff for £l. 154. MITRESS AND SERVANT.—DAVON v. ECKERSLEY.—The plaintiff, Mary Davies, is a servant, and she sought to re cover from the defendant, Mr. James Eekersley, 2, Holland place, Edge-hill, £2 lie 9d, balance of wages. The de fendant paid £1 14s into court, being the amount of wages due up to the time of the plaintiff's dismissal, but she claimed for the full quarter. Mr. Grocott appeared for the Cefenthnt. The plaintiff was in the defendant's service, and on the 29th of July she got liberty to go out for the evening. While out, she met with an aceideat and wee unable to return to the house for three or four days. When she did return, Mrs. Eckersley die missed her, and at the same time accused her of dishonesty in selling 1 lbr. of sugar which was allowed her every week. The plaintiff denied the charge, but admitted that she game the sugar to her mother. In answer to his Honour, the plaintiff said that she ceasidered the sugar her own, and that she had a perfect right to de with it as she pleased. On the other hand, Mrs. Eckeesley alleged that when she engaged the plaintiff, she agreed to give her 1:10 a year, bat oa the express condition that she (the plaintiff,) should give nothing whatsoever away that was given to her or belonging to she house. His Honor said there was nothing to prevent a servant from giving, if she choose, her allowance to her mother or anybede else, and he could not see `tat in so doing, the plaintiff had been guiity of dishonesty. Here. howe' er, there was an express contract, accordingte the statement of Mrs Eckersley, that eh should give nothing w'aatsoever away, and he therefore feared the verdict should be for the defendant. tle would however defer his judgment. judgment deferred.
