COURT OF SEWERS FOR WEST-
MINSTER AND PART OF MIDDLESEX.

A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberties of 'West-
minster was yesterday held at the office of the Commissioners,
Greek-street, Soho, Thomas Levater Donaldson, Esq., in the
Chair. Before proceeding to the regular business on the paper,
it was stated that in consequence of the resolution come to by
the Court on the last court-day but one, the opinion of Dr.
Phillimore had been taken as to the power of the Commissioners
to make a levy on ecclesiastical property.
The opinion was then read as follows :—" Although the
question respecting the validity of the Sewer-rate cannot be
directly raised in the Ecclesiastical Courts still churches and
church-yards being " inter res sacras," and the property im-
mediately connected with them being consecrated and set apart
from all profane uses, lam of opinion that any person who for
any purpose whatever might attempt to violate property of this
description would render himself liable to be articled against
in the Ecclesiastical Court, and to be punished by Ecclesias-
tical censures. Of course this immunity would not extend to
proprietary or unconsecrated chapels or burial-grounds.
" JOSEPH PHILLIMORE."
" Doctors' Commons, March 10, 1841."
After a short discussion, it was resolved that the opinion
should be printed for the use of the Commissioners, and that
it should be taken into consideration by the Court on Friday
next.

On the question that the account for 1840 be audited,
Air. LESLIE suggested that the accounts should be printed,
so that each Commissioner might have an opportunity of exa.
mining them bar_ re proceeding to the auLlit, which in that case
would be really an efficient one.
Mr. Wimmuctiny thought the present was not the time to
ropose any alteration in the manner of auditing the accounts.
They had been summoned for a particular purpose, and should
proceed in the accustomed manner.
Mr. LESLIE would take no part in the audit if he could not
enter into certain objections he had to make as to the manner
in which the accounts were kept. He objected to the dis-
tribution of the disbursements according to the rental ; the
consequence was, that the Western District laid half the ex-
penses of the Commission.
The CLERK had distributed the disbursements according to
the plan usually adopted ; and, as an officer of the Court, he
could not take upon himself to alter the system which bad
been in use for so long a time, without special instructions from
the Court to that effect. _

The CHAIAMAN—Do you know, Mr. Hentslet, why the
plan was adopted?
Air. HaNTSLET (the Clerk)—Mr. Saunders adopted it, be-
cause, in the long run, he was convinced it was the fairest.
Mr. Wii.Louciinv did not approve of any alteration taking
place in the present system.
Mr. UN WIN suggested that the state of the balances should
be laid on the table every month.
The audit then commenced. The books having been exa-
mined and found correct, were signed by the Chairman and
passed.
A statement of the accounts of the several districts for the
year 1840, with an estimate of the moneys required in the years
1841 and 1842,was ordered to be printed.
A communication was read from Mr. Fox Maule, requiring
the Commissioners to furnish the Home-office with copies of
the decrees for imposing the rates on the Ranclagh and Coun-
ters Creek Districts, in order that the same might be laid be-
fore the House of Commons ; and the Clerk reported that copies
of the decrees had been furnished to Mr. Fox Maule on the
9th March.
The Court then adjourned to Tuesday next at two o'clock.

WARLIKE PREPARATIONS.-SHEERNESS,
MARCH 10.—The greatest bustle and activity prevails in the
Royal dockyard here in getting her Majesty's ships Monarch
and Venus fitted out. When completed, they proceed to Spit-
head for orders. No doubt is entertained here but that their
destination is a visit to our braggart brother "Jonathan" and
the rest of the Van Buren faction, A letter received here
(Sheerness) this morning states, that at Plymouth and Ports-
mouth the utmost activity prevails in the naval department,
and our position in China is now talked about as if it were a
:econdary consideration.
