of Paternoster-row and St. Paurs•churchyard, praying the
interference of that court to prevent the recurrence of the
nuisance caused by the tallow.melting business of
Mews. Knight and Co., in Paternester-row, whine premises
have been lately destroyed by fire, which was referred
to them, they had been attended by the memorialists, and
had heard them in anjiport of the memorial, and informed
them that the commission possessed no powers to suppress
the nuisance, and had no funds to induce the proprietors to
abate it ; and as regarded the question which had been
raised, whether the entire destruction of 42, Paternoster.
row, and partial destruction of the premise, in the rear ex-
tending to London-bouselard, might not afford a suitable
opportunity for effecting upon reasonable terms a public im-
provement by widening the narrow passage leading from
Paterooster.row to St. Paurs.churchyard, hod directed
their officer to ascertain the terms upon which the property
required to effect the improvement could be obtame4
and had held a conference with their solicitor and surveyor,
who reported that Messrs. Knight end Sons held leases for
twelve years of 42 and 43, Patdrooster•row, and the com-
mittee were of opinion that the compensation required by
Messrs. Knight for the removal of their trade, besides the
requiring the payment of the value of their lease, was so
exorbitant, that they regretted they could not recommend
the application of so large a sum from the funds of the rate-
payers for the improvement required.

Mr. Alderman DAMN, chairman to the Central l;as Com-
paoy, said he wished to draw the attention of the committee
which had been arpointed to inquire into the qiieitidn of
raising the price of gas, and the provisions of the new act,

siouers of Sewers, to the secretary of the compauy, which

although Dr. Letbeby's house is situate at inure than 1,000
yards from the works of the Great Central Gas Company.
(Signed) " Jan. UAW, Clerk.
Commissioners of Sewers."
He said that lie thought it very desirable that the corn.
mitten should have their attention drawn to that letter and
the answer from the company. Dr. Letheby, be said, had
requested that the gas might be laid down to his house, and
it was done at the company's own expense, and Dr.
Letheby had a complete apparatus fitted up at the London
Hospital, also at the expense of the company, and they
were quite willing to subject their produce to his err
mination.

The letter from the company ran as follows :
"Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 9th ultimo, I beg
to say the company have laid on the main fur the purpose
of supplying gas to Dr. Letheby's laboratory, and ant de-
sired by the directors to say they are willing to accept the
tests which Dr. Letbeby may from time to tame make at his
house in Finsbury.aquare, as satisfying the 27th clause of
the Gas Act of 1860.
(Signed) "R. A. M.4IBBEY, Secretary,

The Alderman then moved that the two letters be
:referred to the committee now sitting.
The CHAIRMAN asked if the court wag to understand that
the company were willing to waive their right of three
hours' notice

Mr. Alderman D.UUN replied they were quite willing to
do so.

THE PRUSSIAN MINISTRY.

The Cur apowieice Stem, of Berlin, says :-
1 " The divergences iu the Cabinet had really come
to a crisis which seemed likely to end in the partial
retirement of the ministry, or the triumph of the
liberal party. That danger has now disappeared ;
M. de Patow, Count Schwerin, M. d'Auerswald,
and M. Bernuth, are to remain at their parts. The
liberal laws have obtained the Royal sanction."

It is %tate') in Mullier's lithographic sheets that
the instructions forwarded by M. Thouveuel to M. Mercier,
the French Minister at Washington, impress on him the
necessity of strictly following the text of the despatches
previously addressed to him, in which the expreesion
" belligerents," applied to the Southern States, is designedly
repeated.

The Paridnrshak, a Hiudoo paper, accuses Eng-
land of having introduced the halite of drinking to
which young Bengal is beaming so addicted. "We do not
mean to say that the mere fact of studying the English
language or the entertaining of English ideas creates •
thirst after wine. We du not know of any English book in
which it is stated that it is obligatory on as to drink wine
or that the glory of • man consists in his getting drunk ; on
the contrary many &shah books speak of the evil effects
of drunkenness. The true reason of the prevalence of this
vice is to he found in the residence of Englishmen in the
country. The multiplhatiun of ginshups in the land is
owing only to the English people."

ALLEGED DESECRATION OP ST. GILESS
CEMETERY.

At the weekly meeting of the directors and
guardians of the poor of St. Pancras, Mr. Churchwarden
STOCKTON in the chair, a proposal was made to the board by
the house committee with reference, to St. Giles' Cemetery,
adjoining the St. Pawls, Workhouse, respecting which a
lill is proposed to be presented to parliament in the ensuing
session, to perform a similar act of desecration to that at-
tempted at St. Martin's Cemetery at Camden-town, by eon-
vertiog the burial ground into a mite for building pulls:ems.
The house committee sent up a resolution to the effect
that the authorities of the parish of St. Giles be applied to
to permit their cemetery adjoining the workhouse to be
opened as a place of recreation for the aged and infirm in-
mates of that establishment.

Mr. J. lt. COLLINS felt it his duty to give the proposal
his most determined opposition. He considered it highly
improper to make such a proposal, as it would look as if the
authorities of St. Pancras would be prepamd to make this
a steppingstone to any further encroachnients upon the
sanctity of the dead.
Mr. Ecs err, jun., bad relatives lying in the St. Giles's
burial-ground, and be should look upon the conversion of
the cemetery into • place of recreation as much a demure-
Moo uan attempt to appropriate it to building purposes.
He hardly thought the house committee could be merlons in
making such a proposaL
Mr. &urea did not see how such a conversion of the
ground could be a desecration. Marylebone had set an
example in converting their cemetery at St. John's-wood
sad Paddiagton•streat into very nice places of recreation,
with walks and flowers, where people could indulge in me-
ditation without pain to any one. It could not be supposed
that the aged and infirm poor would commit any acts of de-
secration in such a place.
Oe the question being put, thebean:l, by s large majority,
refused to comply with the recommendation of the
committee.

a majority of 43 votes to 12. A motion of M.
Piuke, proposing that in each district of the city
&German school should be established, was re-
jected by 37 votes to 20. M. Schubert declared
that the decisions of the assembly violated the
rights of the German populations, and that he
protested. This drew forth murmurs from the
persons in the gallery, and several members of the
council retired. M. Dolzauer said that he sup-
ported the protest of M. Schubert. " Equality of
rights," cried he, "is spoken of, but equality is
destroyed ; we shall, however, know how to protect
our rights." The German members then withdrew,

agitation.

The A arts, rg Gazette contains the following,
dated Posen, Sept. 13 :—" Yesterday we were for
a moment in a state of siege. The party of agita-
tion resolved to get op a religious demonstration
on the occasion of the anniversary of the deliver-
ance of Vienna by Sobieski (1683), and accordingly
at a given hour the principal church of the city
was filled with men and women iu the Polish cos-
tunic and carrying the national colours of Poland
(black and red). The national hymns were sung ;
the enthusiasm was great ; sod the shops of the
Poles, as well as of other persons, were shut,
at the request of the Polish ladies. It was
suddenly ascertained that the Pules had en-
gaged a special train to convey them to the
small town of Samtor, about four miles from Ikk4Cll,
where there is a chapel raised in honour of Sobieski.
But the :indent, fearing that a demonstration

might be made in the open streets of Samtor, which
could not be done at Posen, ordered all the city
gates to be stint, so that those only who were pre-
vioualy at the station could leave."

THE SIEGE OF GAETA. •

THE COUNCILS OF KING FRANCIS IL
The Brussels Independance gives the following
account of the reasons which influence King
Francis 11. in remaining provisionally in Gaeta.
On the 16th a grand council of war was held, at
which General Ulloa (not the defender of Venice),
who had returned from Paris, was present, as was
also the young Queen. At this council it
was assumed that the place could resist for
some time yet, but nevertheless there was a differ-
mice of opinion as to what should be done. The
majority wished that the command of the place
should be given to a general, while the King retired
with the Queen, who was decided to make the cam-
paign with him, into the Abruzzi. The King, how-
ever, did not take this view. The generals feared
that if the blockade became too rigorous the King
would find himself caught in a trap. Francis IL
resisted, his principal argunient being that by
leaving the place he should discourage the garrison.
His Majesty told all those who were afraid, or who
wished to leave for other reasons, that they were
at liberty go, and the next (lay about 150 salient,
10 non-e ommisaioned officers, and 3 offioers accepted
the offer. They said, however, that they were
going to the Abruzzi.

PRINCE NAPOLEON'S VISIT TO TURIN.
Letters from Turin state that the Princess Clo-
thilde, whose arrival there with Prince Napoleon is
expected in a few days, will probably piss the
winter in the capital. The belief is that the
prince is entrusted with some mission or secret
negotiation relative to the evacuation of Rome.
Both the government party and what is called the
party of action in Italy seem to have their
attention diverted at present from Venice to Rome.
Some important step is evidently expected at an
early date with regard to the latter city.

THE SUITORS' FEE FUND.

Hr H. CAIRNS roots to ask a question relative to the in.
teatime of the government with reference to the money of
ignitors in the Court of Chancery.
THE WINE DUTIES.

Mr. CRAWFORD asked whether the government in-
tended to propose to parliament a compliance with the
prayer of the wine trade for a uniform duty on foreign
wises, or to adhere to the principle of clusification by the
alcoholic test, the application of which, be observed, was a
highly scientific and difficult process, and be know of
instances in which the Custom-boom authorities had
obtained different results from the employment of the test
in the ease of the same identical wine.

_
The CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to
Sir H. Coitus, explained the object of the appointment of
the Chancery Fund Commission and other matters alluded
to by Sir Hugh, who, he said, bad been misinformed as to
say plan of the government regarding the mosey of suitor%
to create a Chancery Stock, or to interfere with the liberty
el suitors. He suggested a variety of very important goes-
times, in cones:ion with the feuds, which were proper to be
oonsidered by the oomminsion ; his anxiety was that
their posseadoe and managemet is heamply secured. He
was sorry to way he was at daggees4tawn with Mr. Crawford.
Relatively to the state of things, sad the very recent adop-
tion of the scheme of the alcoholic test applied to wines,
he was well pleased with its workiin, the errors being few,
mod not an important element in the question. It was not.
therefore, the intention of the government, without further
experience, to propose any change, but they would adhere
to the principle of classification by the alcoholic test.

tinctioe of caste or crowd.

Sir C. WOOD explained the state of the esae in raped

it world be the duty of the government of India to make

that the feet amount. from India were more favourable,
and represseted that the distress arising from the famine
wee confined to a much smaller area than was apprehended.
Every possible means of alleviating the suffering would be
taken by the government. His answer to the inquiry of
Colonel Sykes was that no alteration whatever had been
