NIFTROPOLIT.CI COMMtltglON OF lizwzia.-0•
To.olay evening a writ of supersedes+ was received &NU
the lord Chancellor at the Chief Sewers' Office, Clussie,
itrer 1, Soho, dissolving the old Commission of Sewers,
recondructing it entirely. The old commission IIiNORM&
131.:f have expired in a very short period under the lalsoll
11 ,r. 93, by which its duration was limited to see year
from August, foil, and therefore the Chancellor's writ was
meetly a formal act. The following 14 gentlemen are ap-
pointed, only nee of their number having belonged to the
twiner commission Jehb, Esq., chairman ; Sir John
Fot Burgoyne, C. 8., Major Robert Kemsley Davrun,R.E.,
Thorns, Hawes, Ems, Captain J. Vetch, R.E., Sir Charles
Fellows Kat.' George Baker, Esq., Thomas Field Gibson,
E.q., 11. B. Gordon, Bg., J. Hawkskaw, Esq., W.
Woking, Esq. (official referee under the Metropolitan
iliiiiilings Act), Henry Arthur Hunt, Esq., Lawrence
ke.thead, Eaq., and G. Spencer Smith, Esq. By an set puled
:oohof June, 18.52, the old Metropolitan Sewers Act is
continued until the 7th of August, 18:i3, with the following
ireportant alteration with respect to the rating powers of
the commission, and the burden of the sewer rate upon
land devoted to agricultural purposes: " Notwithstanding
the pmvisione of the said Mrstly-mentioned act (11 & 12
ictor,i, chap. 112), the occupiers of say land used as
orthle, meadow, or pasture ground only, or as woodland,
orchard, market garden, hap, herb, flower, fruit, or surgery
ground, which may be rateable to soy district sewers' rate,
told, r the said tirstly-mentioned act, or any set amending
or siia•iiilliaSt the same, shall, in and for any such district
sewers rate made after the paring of this act, be assessed
and charged in respect of such land in the proportion of
one fourth only of the not annual value thereof." (The
net annual value to be ascertained as provided by the said
first recited act.) The rateable value of lands and tene-
ments is at present determined by the commission
according Pi the poor's rate easseement. The second clause
in the set provides an increased power of rating to the cont.
sei•sion as follows: "So much of the said thirdly men.
limed act as provides that no rate or rates amounting to
more than threepence in the pound shall be made by the
caul commisrioners, shall be, and the same is hereby re-
paled, and in lieu thereof it shall be and is hereby pro-
vali d, that notwithstanding anything contained to the con-
trary in the said acts or either of them, the district sewers
ran 'hail not exceed in any one year the sum of sixpence in
the pound of the net annual value of the property rateable
thereto." This increased power is of material importance
ti the efficiency of the commission, as it was found that a
tl,reepri.ny rate was not sufficient for the necessary works
or expenditure, and consequently the commiasioaers were
oldiged to a great many useful officers, and to sus-
Pend a vast number of important operations, the plan for
tbe "neral drainage of London being quite out of the quee-
bun without siiinC increased power.

eiest ems was thought to be made oat against seven of the

Murphy, Thomas Uarney, said Patrick Naughteu. James
Flak, sad James Walsh, whom the manistrates (supposing

arced primmer., were found to have taken advantage of
their liberation on bail to abscond.
I - - - -

The rcsaaiaiog prisoners still in custody for further ez.l
amination yesterday, were English proteatants, and their
namee are: William Buttery, George Pell, Samuel Ito*,
Henry Rhodes, Samuel Preston, Mark Oleave, George
Parry, Thomas Walker, llenry Ashton, John Slater,
Thomu Edwards, Samuel Wiltiamson, and Joseph Birch.
Another prisoner, Hamlet Halms, who had been out un
hail, and had surrendered, is a young man of respectable
family, and son of the late Mr. Otho thane, dyer, near
Manchester. William and George Walker also surrendered
to a warrant which hail been taken out against them.
Mr. Saunders, barrister, addressed the Court at consi-
derable length on behalf of Rhodes, Pell, Boyle, and But-
tery, who were charged with despoiling St. Michael's
chapel, and pointed out some discrepancies in the
evidence. He then called the following witnesses for the
prisoners :
Wm. Cadman, fishmonger, .on of George Cadman, one
of the police-officers, said : Ou the night of the riot l saw
the prisoner Hoyle, about `J o'clock, at the Court•houst.
I asked him what he was thing, and he said he nu come
to assist the police. I spoke to my father, and a gaff was
given to him. I was wth norm near the Court-house till
the military came, about 10 o'clock. I have known him
sin months, and he has borne a goal character.
By Mr. Oitioan—l came to the Court-house to ace after
my father, as I was told he was killed. My father gave the
staff to me to give to Hoyle, without seeing him. Itoyle
was near the Court-house until 12 o'clock, except that we
accompanied the military to Rock-row, and afterwards
returned. We also went to Edgeley Chapel, after the
military had gone there. Si one else accompanied us.
Itnyle and I returned from Edgeley direct to the Court.
house. We bad our staves. Boyle remained at the Ccurt-
house five minutes, and then said he should go home. It
was a little after 12 o'clock, hut in flee or ten minutes ho
was brought in a prisoner.
14 Mr. Henry hlarsland (magistrate)—We left Edgeley
because we were told to go home' as everything was quiet.
The sergeant of the soldiers told us to go away. I was at
Edgeley Chapel ten minutes. My staff was in my pocket
all the time.
_

The witness further stated that he bad his staff out once
before he saw !Coyle, hot never afterwards, and Moyle never
had his staff out. Rojo was very yedeesble that night.
William Wild, general dealtr, in Lower Mitigate, was
then called by Mr. Saunders n behalf of Rhodes. Ile said
—On the night of tie riot I was in Merchant's-court, about
twenty minutes past 12. 1 saw Rhode. running into the
I'ark Chapel just before me Ile went in with the pressure
of the crowd atter the police. Mr. Whalley and the officers
and several others composed the crowd, which was not the
mnh. The officers went in rind, and then Rhodes followed
William Ciaskell in, close upon his heels. Gaskell made a
sort of stumble arnengst the timber, and the lad (Rhodes)
had nearly fallen on him et the Wile time. Then Ciaskell
laid hold of 'theta.% by the arm, and said," You have been '1
breaking the windous, and I'll take you to the police office."
I and to Gasket', " You are wrung ; the lad has done no-
thing." Several persons celled out to let him go, as they
said tithed done nothing. 1 called out, "No rescue," sr
the people seemed as if they would attempt to liberate
him. I said, " Let him go to the Court-house, and
then those who have net seen him do anything
elm follow him, andlispeak for him there." I went
to the Court-hoe, myself. 1 saw Mr. Sadler, who had him
in custody. Mr. Sadler told me to come next morning. I
cannot gay wlietlicr Waken was sober or not, but ho was
very much excited. He was leaning against some palisades
over a cellar for nearly 10 minutes.
By Mr. Gibson—l had been in Merchant's-court a quar-
ter of an hour before the police caine. When I got to
the chapel Mr. lindsos was at the safe. The gas was
I lighted in the chapel at that time. I did not see any
tumult when I got there, except that I saw something large
come through the window. I did not go any further at that
time. It would be threedparters of an hour after this
before Longman and the others went into the chapel,
as I have stated. I had not seen Rhodes be-
fore that night. 1 did not see that Rhodes bed
a constable's staff. When I went first a man was breaking
the windows in Nelson street, bat they were already
broken, and Mr. Whalley run him out of the street. He
was breaking the windows with a pule 14 feet in length.
Several people seemed very much excited on witnessing the
demolition of property. I first saw Mr. Sadler at the
bottom of Park-etrmt.

William Burgiss, labourer, raid—l saw Longvon and
Walker, the police officers, go into the chapel, after twelve
o'clock. I wont to the door and looked in. I saw William
Gaskell and Henry Rhodes there. °sakell went in first,
and Rhodes went in immediately afterwards. I saw neither
of them do anything but walk up the side. Gaskell turned
round and seised Rhodes, saying, " You are ono who was
breaking windows." Ciaskell brought him outside the
door, and I said, " Vow are wrong, this boy has done
nothing." He gave him into Inspector Walker's charge.
Many persons said they had seen him do nothing. Gas-
kell appeared to me very much the worse for liquor, and it
is not the first time I have seen him so.
By Mr. Gibson.—lt is only eight or nine yards from the
door to the altar. I was six or seven yards from Uaskell
when he seised Rhodes. There wus no noise at the time.
I have often been in liquor, but cannot estimate how often.
I was sober at the time I speakof.
Isaiah Talkington, joiner, was at the Catholic
chapel in Park-street a little after twelve on the night of
the riot, and saw Rhodes, Wyld, and Oaskell go into the
chapel. (laskell was rather in front of Rhodes. °ashen
brought Rhodes into the street, and people avid the latter
bad done nothing, calling out that Wake!l was drunk.
Rhodes was given into the custody of Walker.
John Penny, lock-up keeper at the county gaol, Stock-
port, said-1 saw Claskell at the Vernon Anus, getting a
glass, at twenty minutes to twelve on the night of the not.
He was tipsy.
By Mr. Gibson—Mr. Gibson charged me with listening
when he was examining the prisoners.
By the Mayor—l was not listening. (Laughter.)
By Mr. Saunders—The prisoners were in my custody.
George Cadman, police officer, said he saw Oaakell at the
Vernon Arms, and he paid for • glass of ale both fermium.
and himself. Gaskell was fresh, but would know what he
was doing.
Mary Thorpe, servant at the Grove Inn—Oeorge Pell

MYSTERIOUS CASE.—Yesterday Mr. Waldey held
a lengthened inquiry at the Sir Isaac Newton, York-street,
Union-street, Foley-place, touching the death of Mr. David
Lewis, aged 35, a master tailor, melding at No. 6. York-
street. The housekeeper of the deceased deposed that he
was a married man, but had lived for same time separated
from his wife. On Monday morning last deceased came
home at a little before six o'clock. He was not quit*
sober, bat walked into the passage and ap stairs to his
room very steadily. He had nut been there lore g when he
became sick, and vomited considerably, • complaining of a
fall he had suffered. He did not say that he had been ill
used. He had gone out between five and six o'clock on the
Sunday evening for a walk, and was sway all night. About
a quarter to one in the afternoon witness went fora me-
dical man, but deceased died before his arrival. Thomas
' Lewis, the deceased's brother, said he was with
him at the Feathen, in Oxford-street, at about
half-past one on Monday morning. The deceased
went outside, and in a minute or so the potmen
cams running in and told witness his brother had been
struck by some man. Witness instantly went out, and
found deceased lying bleeding on the pavement ; he then
pursued and overtook the assailant, seized him, and, meet-
ing with two policemen, told them the circumstances, but
they missed to detain the man, remarking, " You are all a
drunken lot, get away with you." and the man escaped.
Mr. Osage Newington, of 26, Nassau-street, surgeon, said
he had made • post morteas examination of the body. There
was a large Sarre sufficient to admit the hand on the right
side of the head, and extending down towards the left ear.
There were from six to eight ounces of extravasated blood
spread around; and there was also au extensive lacera-
tion of the brain snakiest to admit the ends
of four fingers. The skull was a very thin one.
The Coroner said that it was a most extraordinary thing,
and one he had never sues equalled in the whole course of
his experience, that a man suffering from injuries sufficient
instantly to kill a dozen men should walk bonze in his
senses, and remain so up to the time of his death, without
ever showing the least symptom of such fatal hurts. Under
all the circumstancts, the safest course would be an open
verdict. The jury consulted for some time, and eventually
returned • verdict to the effect " That deceased died from
laceration of the brain, mould by violence, but that how
such violence was produced there was no evidence to show."
The conduct of the police, which Lail been freely com-
mented on, was not referred to, as there was ao corrobora-
tive evidence, and deceased's brother admitted not being
quite sober at the time.
DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM SHIP PACIFIC.—At
ten o'clock yesterday forenoon the United States mail steam
ship Pacific, Nye, cemaseader, left Liverpool (or New York
direct with swards of 100 passengers, • full cargo of fine
goods (a large portion of French manufacture), and the

vinces.
