DINNER TO WILLIAM CHADWICK, ESQ.
A dinner took place at the London Tavern, yester-
day, to celebrate the presentation of a service of plate to
William Chadwick, E.q., late chairman of the Richmond
Railway, as a testimonial of respect and esteem from the
shareholders in that andertakiag. The service , which was
laid oat ea a table in the centre of the room, consisted of a
handsome candelabrum, dishes, soap and mace tureens,
coffee and teapots, the., all of handsome deign and massive
in their material, and was valued at about 3301.
On the candelabrum was an inscription to the effect that
the testimonial was prevented as a token of the esteem and
reap et in which he MU held by the shareholders in the
Richmond Railway, and for the unwearied diligence and
talent he had always displayed in promoting the auceeis of
that undertaking. H. C. Lacey. Esq., M P., took the chair,
and about 100 shareholders In the Biel'. mind Railway, or
friends of Mr. Chadwick. sat down to an entertainment in
the best style of the Landon Tavern. After the usual loyal
and constitutional towns,
The CHAIRMAN said that he regretted his inability to do
justice to the toast he was about to propose the less becalms
he had evidence in the distinguished assemblage by which
he was surrounded, and in the costly service of plata he saw
before him, that the services of tho object of that toast were
properly and fully estimated. (Hear, hear.) There was no
one present who could not testify to Mr. Chadwick's inte-
grity, his zeal, and his talents, or his persevering industry.
(Loud cheers) As Mr. Chadwick was present he could not
do hill justice to'his merits. lie (Mr. Lacey) did not know why
he had been placed in that chair, except it arose from the
accident of his being chairman in a railway to which Mr.
Chadwick was deputy chairman; and he must say, that
(or a right-hand man, there was no one in this world
he would prefer to that gentleman. (Chews.) He was
sorry he could not fill it better, but he must hope that hi,
friend wouid find compensation in the magnificent service of
plate with which he was about to be presented, and which
would descend to his children's children as an heirloom and
testimony of their ancestor's seal, ability, and the estimation
in which be was held by his Mania and coadjutors in busi-
ness. lie begged to propose Mr. Chadwick's health. The
toast having been drank with three times three and loud
chewy,
Mr. Cnaowicx said he felt almost overcome by the kind
manner in which his health had ken received. lie should
perhaps beat repay their kindness by touching on the few
facts which had led to this ent-rtainment. The directors of
the Richmond line hat originally thought it might be worked
most profitably. as an independent line, but he had been of a
different opinion, and had notiated its disposal to the
South-Eastern Company. With that transaction the
shareholders were so well eatialied that the present enter-
tainment was the result. Mr. Chadwick concluded by again
thanking the company heartily for the mode in which his
health had been received.
The next tout was " The Lord Mayor and Corporation."
Mr. Sheriff Musgrove returned thanks, and concluded by
proposing the health of the chairman, which was received
with loud cheers.
Mr. LACEY thankel'the company sincerely for the honour
they had done him, but would further show his gratitude by
refraining from intlictinz on them any lengthened oration.
Mr. finaw, of Hudderafield, proposed '• The chairman
and committee of the testimonial," to which toast Mr. Nott
returned thanks.
The other toasts on the chairman's list were then disposed
of, and the company separated.

THE TOOTING CHOLERA CASES.
ADJOURNED INQUEST.
Yesterday the adjourned ir quest on the four chil-
dren who died in the Free Hospital, after removal from Mr.
Drowses establishment sie Tooting, was resumed before Mr.
Wakley, at die Globe tavern, Derby-street, Gray's-
inn-toed. Mr. Ballantine was in attendance on behalf of
Mr. Dronet.—The foreman of the jury intimated to the co-
roner that 13 of the jury had visited Dlr. Droust's establish-
ment on the previous day, and not only examined every part
I of it, but received from Mr. Menet every information re-
specting it and the inmates that they demanded to know,
and received at his hands every necessary attention. But as
be was unwilling to state publicly all they rw, atd the Ica
pensions made by what they saw, he suggested that they
should retire to a private foetal and there cnnimunicate them
to the coroner.—Mr. Widtley: If there is no oboe-
tin on the part of the jury, I should much prefer
hearing their statement publicly.—Some of the jurymen
theaght with the coroner that they had better have nothing
done in private, but let all be above hoard ; an/ another
*rain having suggested that they could gather quite
says-
cheat from the evidence to be given to guide them in the
matters relating to whi-lt they wiled to eosin with the
coroner. it wee decided that no statement should be made, as
they were of opinio^ it ought not to be made publicly.—
Mr. James presented a I.rge book under the official seal of
the Poor-law Comraissionm, containing the visitors' reports.
