METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—An
extraordinary Court of Commissioners was held yester-
day at the courthouse, Greek street, Soho-square ; Sir
John Burgoyne in the chair. -The Secretary (Mr'
Woolrych) having read the notice convening the meet-
ing, stated that 58 plans for carrying into effect the
object they had met to consider had been received. The
names of the parties sending the same were read, etn-
bracing the most eminent civil engineers of the countrt
A few of the plans were sent in anonymously.—Mr.
W. Johnson was anxious to 'take the earliest opporta;
nity ot communic,,ting to the court that he had received
a letter from Mr. Denson, civil engineer, stating that he
was most anxious to present a plan• for this purpose, but
sufficient time had not been allowed him to prepare its
and asking for an extension of it to enable him to do
so.—Sir H. de la Beche said he had been informed, since
he entered the court, that a question might arise whether,
three or four plans would be received, in consequence 4:a

some discussion it was proposed and resolved that bee

the
DANGER OF PREMATURE INTERMENT.---On • of
morning of Saturday last, a young lad of the nanierti
Pendrith joined the juvenile teetotal excursion Pedor
which left Edinburgh for Hopetoun House. The
eh.
was an exceedingly unfavourable one, and many Of '"
youths suffered much from the effects of the rain. Pen
drith was one of these. - -On returning with the party is
the evening, he soon after went to bed, without anything
being done to check the effects of a damp skin, and on
the Sabbath morning he was seized with all the apparent
symptoms of cholera. Singularly enough, Pendrith s
father (who was a blacksmith, we believe, and residing
in Greenside), and also his mother, died of cholera dur-
ing their son's absence, or immediately after his return,
and were promptly interred. On the Sunday young
l'endrith was taken to the Infirmary, and some parties
who made inquiry in the course of the day as to how the
'
lad was, got for answer, or imagined that they got I°l-
answer, that he bad died. It is affirmed by those ac'
quainted with the circumstances, thit Pendrith,
imme-
diately after his supposed decease, was conveyed to the
dead-house, and there the body remained for a numb!:
of hours. A coffin having, in due course, been prepared,
Pendrith was on the eve of being quietly deposited in,'"
when, lo! he gave indications of still being in life! "
need scarcely say that the beating of the pulse and bear'
surprised those in attendance. Restoratives being, eta
ployed, Pendrith gradually recovered, and now he is ev
tar himself again that he expects being out of the 'Or.

tee. The petitioners for the winding-up allege, that in'
stead of depositing plans and sections and three-fourth`
of the capital, as required by standing orders, with the
Accountant-General, the committee of management,
entered, without the consent of the shareholders, into an
agreement, which was never carried out, for an amalga-
mation with another rival London and Manchester
by which the scheme was rendered abortive and via'
abandoned. Considerable litigation had taken place is
the endeavour on the part of the shareholders to obtain
an account of moneys received and expended, but with-
out a satisfactory effect, and the outstanding liabilities
are considerable. An actuary, who has inspected the
books, reports that they are voluminous but imperfect,
more particularly as regards material documents, safti
as bankers' accounts, cheques, counterfoils, and en"P'
signed but not regularly issued. He finds that the WO'
tary took away documents, which have either been de:
stroyed or placed in custocy, where they are at present
inaccessible.
The letters from Constantinople show that, owing
to the large imports ot manufactures which have latelf
been made, the shipments of specie from that city, which
had gradually lessened, are again becoming large. The
next packet, which will be due in about a fortnight, will
