WENTMLNSTER COURT OF SHWHES.--ILLEORL COH-
DECT Or A COMEISSIONITL—A general court of the COOS-
misnomers of Sewers foe Westminster was held yesterday
at the eourt-house, Greek.street, Soho, Capt. G. Bogue,
R.N., in the chair. After • great deal of routine and claim.
portent business the court reverted to the ease of Mr. Ferlar,
one of the eommissioaers, who, it was stated, at a former
mart reported in our paper of Sept. 18, had sent certain
notices to persons residing in Chelsea without the sanction
of the own. Yesterday nearly the whole of the_ turtles to
whom theme notices bad been sent attended. Mr. Feeler
was prevented from attending. It appeared that nearly
thirty householders residing in Robert-terrace and Alex-
ander-place, Chelsea, were served with notices by the clerk,
sad on behalf of Mr. Farlar, requiring them within twenty-
eight days to make drains from their several houses into
the sewer,. which sewer was alleged to be the pro,ierty of
Mr. Feeler, who, " under a new act,' claimed from the
owners of the property, various SUMS ranging from 151.
to 501. and novena, according to the frontage occupied by
the house, and the length of time such sum was alleged to
have been due, the time varying from twelve to fifteen years,
and the interest of the money for that time being added to
the sums claimed for the sewer. The court haring received
fees several parties the notices thus served, and the solicitor
having given it as his opinion that the proceedings of Mr.
ragas e were the most irregular that had ever come under
his ranke," however liable the parties might be, a resolution
was paned requesting the chairman to inform the parties
sport whom such notices had been served, that the proceed-
ing ern entirely illegal and undeserving of any attention •
and; it was finally resolved, " That Farrar not thee;
being present, the matte? should be referred to the solicitor,
to report thereon at the next court, and that Mr. Feriae
should be summoned to attend at rich court." After other
unimportant business the court adjourned_
PARISH OF ST. MARTLEBONIX—CLASSIFICATION
OT FEMALES IN TOE Woakuouse.—Yesterday • meeting
of the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone
took place in the board-room of the workhouse, New-road,
for the purpose of receiving the report of a committee in re-
bream to the classification of female paupers, and the over-
needed state of the workhouse, &c., Mr. W. Lowe in the
their. Mr. Meaner, the relieving overseer, brought up a re-
port which showed • great increase of pauperism. The num-
bee of inaloor poor during the week was 2,099, being an in-
crease of 30 over the previous week. The number of out-
door 'poor was 6,730, befog an increase over the previous
week of 736. The total of persons receiving relief was 8829.
--Mr. Thorpe (the secretary), in answer to a question, said
that these numbers showed an increase of 500 in-door, and
2,700 out-door, poor, as compared with the corresponding
week of lest year. Mr. Thorne then brought up the re-
ports from the committee appointed to consider the present
arrangements respecting the separation ward, with a view
to some improvement in the system of female classification.
The reports suited that the committee had satisfied them-
'elves of the utter inefficiency of the existing arrangements
for the purposes of classification, especially amongst females,
and had directed their attention to a report of • committee
appointed in February lost (not adopted), recommending
the erectioa of a distinct ward and wash-house for girls
returning (rem service, in a portion of the enclosed space in
the women's yard. As a preliminary step towards elansifica-
lion, they recommended the adoption of that report, se that
the works might be proceeded with without delay. The
committee also submitted that if the small rooms intended
for the separation of refractory females were juoicionly used
in separating one or two of the most violent girls from the
others, preventing communication, if only for the space of
12 hours at a time, it might be found effectual in checking
such gross insubordination as there has existed of late, and
in many cases defeat the very object the girls have
in view, that of being sent to prison, to which
they give the preference over the workhouse. The pro-
posed ward and wash-hone could be erected for 1831., and
could be ready in two months, provided the board agreed to
the proposition. The adoption of the report having been
moved and seconded, Mr. Potter observed that it had long
been a matter of complaint that young girls sent out to
service bad on their return been indiscriminately mixed
with the elder females, by whom their minds were contami-
nated, and who were thus prevented becoming useful and
respectable members of society. It was a duty the board
owed, not only to the ratepayers but to the poor children
themselves, to glee that they were brought up in those habits
of industry and virtue by which they could obtain employ-
ment, and become useful members of society.—After some
few further remarks the motion was carried nem. con., and
some other unimportant business having been disposed of the
board separated.

EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS.—PROBABLE LOSS OP
TREES Ltv es.—Last evening, about 6 o'clock, an expkeion
of combustible materials, used in the manufacture of fire-
works, took place on the premises belonging to Mr. G.
Manly, pyrotechnist, carrying on business at No. 64, Little
Surrey-street, Blackfriars-road, and which has been attended
with serious, if not fatal,:injuries to three persons. From
inquiries Made,: it appears that Mr. Mindy was engaged
ailing some cases with competition in the back room on the
pond-floor, when, from some unexplained cause, the ma-
teriel exploded, setting fire to a number of other descriptions
if fireworks, which went off with a loud none, demolishing
memo passe of glare in the window, and firing the contents

spoken of are lying at the hospital in a very precarious
state. Neither the promisee nor their contents were
insured.
