METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWFXB.

EXTRAOILDIXARY PROCEEDINGS.

Yds:min,' morning ft epeeial court AU summoned
to be held at Green street, in pursuance et a tequisitiol,
signed by the lion. F. Byng, Mr. Leelie, and Mr. Bidwell,
fur the purpose of "ascertaining whether there were any
truth in the statements made by Mr. Chadwick at the public
Court of Sewers, on the 2nd inst." The requisition then
proceeded to enumerate a number of Mr. Chadwick's vete-
ments, the truth of which they called id question, and wound
up with the following paragraph :—" And to take such im-
mediate steps as the result of the evidence to be submittedid
special court may render necessary f•r the honour, character,
and usefulness of the court, and the best interests of the
ratepayers."
This requisit'on wee signed by Mr. J. Leslie, thelun
Fred. Byng, and Mr. J. Bidwell.
Precisely at I() o'clock two of the requisitionists (Mr. lee
lie and Mr. Bidwell) entered the court room, when It we
announced that Mr. Byng (the other reqnl:itionist) we
unable to be pr cant in cons- quence of abserce from town.
Shortly after the entrance of these gentlemen there arrived
in rapid succession Mr. Chadwick, Mr. T. Hawes, Dr. Smith-
wood Smith, Sir J. Burgoyne, Mr. Bonfield, Mr. Hodes.
Hr. A. Bain, under FCC. to the board of health, Mr. Jan-
son, Sir H. de la Roche, and Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P. Of
this number, however, only Sir J. Burgoyne and Mr. Buse
entered the court, the other gentlemen preferring to indulge
themselves with the newspaper in the " commissions'
room."
As it is necessary to have six commissioners to forms
court, the object of this move was obvious ; not one of the
eight gentleman enumerated could be persuaded to enter kr
the purpose of discussing the matter for which the court Imel
been convened.
Just previous to eleven o'clock, an order issued front the
court room, not to distribute the business paper of the dm%
This was significant, and in a few minutes, Mr. Wooliyai
the secretary, announced that a court had n. t been mole,
that there were only four commissiomn present (nnoliq
them), and that they had adjourned until Wednesday weft
at the same hour.
It is stated that this extraordinary proceeding well demon
to abolish the commission than anything that has hither.°
occurred.

HER MAJESTY AT BALMORAL—There car bete
doubt that the partiality which bath the Queen and Pries
Albert have displayed for Balmoral, is attei.mtable 9.0
merely to the striking beauty of its scenery, its fine ears
and its sporting fucilities, but in a great measure, sit
to the manner in which last year the wish •
the royal party for privacy was respected by the r•
and the public. Apart, therefore, from the dtel•l•
of good taste and prsper feeling, every person who deans
the regular recurrence of the Qu, en's visit, has the otreno
motive for abstaining from all unnecessary prying into U.
royal movements, or intrusion on the grounds anderslo
where her Majesty and suite are accustom. el to take that
recreation. The curiosity of the eneral public is not altar
temyercd by discretion and correct feeling; but much!
b 3 done to prevent it horn causing annoyance, by 81.0
effort in the way of example as well as precept, 00 Prigt
of influential residents and visitors, and, more partial'
.1!
by a becoming abstinence from silly gossip on the pat of t•
press. It is highly gt atitying to know that tho egoist:.
have repeatedly stated their extreme saiiefaaion wt
general conduct in this respect last year, and we trust It;
will be no occasion for a different expression on the Prow'
occasion.—Aberdeen Herald.
