CALLS TO THE BAR.--INNER TEMPLE.—Tho Mi-
chaelmas Teem sails to the bar of the Inner Temple were
meads yesterday, Nov. 17, and they comprise the afterritons
stoned gratlemsn : A. C. Forbes, of Calms College, B.A , and
C. C. Fumed, of Wady College, Cambridge, M.A.
Tag Stettin IS THE Crry.—A report on the pre-
sent condition of the sewers of the city has been prepared by
Mr. Walker, Mr. Cubitt, end Sir I. Brunel. It be ad-
d:eased to the City aathoeities, and concludes with the fol-
lowing gassed opinion We think that although there
may be emeggemie in particular ern, the pelmet sizes of
the mown an net toe greet, and that they ought not to be
limarsaL natio sewer., where made, are generally efficient.
That se Mess three to four miles cooly of the fifty miles of
alnets, smith wed alleys within the City are without sewers
se d it bankable that the same be constructed as soon
searnmisiasses sea be made for the purpose, so that every
street, esisrt, cr alley within the City may be efficiently
drained. That the City sewers which receive the sewerage
of the pethens of the adjoining county are sufficient for the
thichaer of the county and City drainage. That as, of the
16,000 house and buildings in the City, 6,762 have not pri
vate covered dralas, it is desirable that those be provided.
That there is a considerable gaentity of 'oh deposit in ems
of the seems, but that the tall or Inclination in the private
drains is gennelly such as to keep them clear of offensive
matt.r. That any general evirimk for ems/soots, fur the
purpose of opening and emptying them, particularly In
private house* would be impolitic se a general measure, gad
likely to be story injurious than the esespools now are, if they
are properly cosideucted, which may be eseertabsed. That
the form of sewers has practically very tittle to do with the
general question of their keeping clear of deposit, this de-
pending very much upon their fall and the quantity of
water ; hut that no fill or qu.ntity of water is likely to be
obtained, even in the city sewers, aufficitmt to keep them
clear of obstructions, without the occasional aid of men in the
sewer to remove hard deposit. That the most eminent men
of their time leave been consulted in, or have directed the
execution ef, the City sewers, including Wrou,Wyett, Dance,
Smirks, and Rennie. That we have discovered nothing in
the construction of the works which can justify our charging
the commissioners with waste in respect of the Use or con-
struction of the sewers or otherwise; although the outlay,
daring the last ten yea's, must have been great, as during
this tame more new aewen have been made than during the
peovioise 130 years. That the system of flushing has been in-
troduced lately with great advantage, and is already con-
siderably extended. That the desiderata, in enter to per-
fect the sewerage of the City, are, the formation of the 3
to 4 miles of sewers, the extension of private drains,
a large supply of water, the fleshing system by gates and
tanks as described in cur report, the better ventilation and
dbelsarge of the sewers, and the thorou.th clearing out of the
sewers duo lag the next winter, and keeping them clear in
haute. We assume that the numerous and useful improve-
ment' of detail which will no doubt from time to time be
faceted, will be considered and tested, and where succem-
fel, will be adopted, as appears to have bete done heretofore.
We ere of opinion that neither of the new plans suggested
for Westminster by tho surveyor to the metropolitan sewers
comunimioners, nor that of their consulting engiueer, is app.
Ridable to the of werage of the City of London.—iSi:aed)

HOMAN IsH.—The Herr. Hobert K. Sconce, D.A., of
Bille•OIN College, Oxford, has conformed to the church of
Rome. The rev, convert, in publiehing his reasons for De-
ment, , urges that he had, previously to leaving the church,
been permitted by his diocesan to hold and teach the iden-
tical doctrines which he now holds iu communion with
Home ; and that the only doubt enjoins In his mind laa
considerable period previous was, whether his own diocesan
or the Bishop of Rome had the greater claim on him obe-
dience. Mr. Scone was ordained in 1815.—Church and

the shareholders of this undertaking took place, yester-
day, at the company's offices, Old Broad-arm*, for the pur-
pose ef receiving the report of the directors, end a state-
ment of the financial condition of the company up to the
flat of March last. John Labouchere, Beg., in the chair.
TM secretary read the report, from which it appeared that
the inlay of the company for the year had exiseeded its M-
emo be the some of 971, a circumstance which was attribu-
table solely to the tall of 201, a ton, which had taken place

greeter quantity of copper in that year them had bees
obtained in the preceding year ; aad bat be the
depreciation which had occurred a dividend weld

several sew lodes had been discovered daring the nit nth
weer, and that the condition of all the manse was mush Im-
proved. It appeared by communicatioss whilk bed bees
received from their agent on the spot, that a treat impend
smelt had manifested itself in the Raipos misssegnially,
wi that the slashing of the ores had proceeded very finer-
ably.—Mr. Lee, on proposing the adoption of the report,

they had made to afford the shareholders ample and atxu.

SANITARY CONDITION OF THE PARISH OF ST.
MARTLEBOWI.—Yesterday, a meeting of the board of
directors and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebons, took
place in the board-room of the workhouse, Sir Walter Stir-
ling, Bart., in the chair.—Mr. Meeser, the relieving over-
seer, presented reports of the sanitary inspectors, represent-
ing Blancldordthews, Bleadfurd-smiare ; Stephen-court ;
Providence-place, Limon-street ; and other localities
is the Whitt, as being in a most dangerously filthy condi-
ticm.—Mr. Potter said it was a monstrous injustice that the
law was set woos enough to compel the rich and noble
sr_olusi_badkrds of Marylebone to see to the proper
awl ventilation of their properties. Stephen-court,
Zlefid=sel been referred to, was the property of Sir Edward
Baker, and he underlet it to some one else, and this some
one eke let the houses out in rooms to poor matures, thus
realising enorm ins ream, the place at the same time being
absolutely unfit for the habitation of human beings.—
Mr. Artand said there were portions of the property of Lord
Portman and the Duke of Portland in au equally thgraosful
condition : and there were some parts in the neighbourhood
even of St. John's-wood, the condition of which, in a saai.
dry point of view, for want of proper drainage, would be a
diegreee even to St. Giles's.—After some further observa-
tion, it was resolved that the reports be referred to the
saaitary committee and the toner e, with a request that
immediate steps be taken against the parties concerned,

INQUEST, YeeTlKDAT.—Cliehde AGAINST THE
80711INTI1tDLNT Ur • LUNATIC ASYLUM AT Bow.—
Mars Kr. W. Baker, at the Five dells, Old Ford, Bow, to
inquire into the circumstances attending the death of a
pauper lunatic named le Ws Joseph, who wasalleged to
have died from Asiatic cholera in the above asylum on Ifed-
nesday last—Smith, the constable, said the dement had
been removed from Grove-hall and buried. Ile handed to
the coroner the following certificate, which he had received
from the relieving officer of St. George's, Hastovernstare :
" Louisa Joseph was interred is the burial grand at Bays-
watts this morning, in consequence of it being repotted that
she bad died MINI cholera. Jean ItUPIN."—The Coroner
said It was a most extraordinary document ; a certificate that
would suit any time.—Smith stated that the deemed be-
longed to the parish of St. George, and the surgeon to
the whim had registered her death as only having
been ill eleven hours. She died on Wednesday, her
hod was removed from the how the same day, and was
the following day.—A juror remarked that the eu-
chre of Mr. Ryes, the superintendent et Grove-hall, had

on the ladle.—The corner said he could explain the ru-

Wales lies in a meet end meaner. The surgeon to the
esylem gave evidence, nil =gibed death to natural CANNA,
and the jary returned a waist to that effect. On the fol-
lowing day a post-emetbse sandailime of the body was
made, and five of the thensere dhe were found to be
broken by the ill aige he bad nedied from the two keep-
ers. The men wen taken be. melody end the magistrate

In consequence of the sew then giving such avidness he (the
coroner) refused to allow kW the usual fee, and sines then
he had never received asyhelbrmation from Mr. Byes that
any of the inmates had died end that an inquest was neces-
sary.--Seneal of the jury mid they remembered the circum-
stance, and thct prevails to that period inquests wen held on
the bodies of the inmates that died in that asylum, and
