INQUESTS IN CASES OF FIRE.
The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court the follow•
ing communication from the Coroner of the City o
London:—

"My Lord and Gentlemen,—l beg leave to report to
this Honourable Court that in continuance of the ancient
practice of holding inquests or courts of inquiry in cases
of fire, I have appended hereto a list of the cases of
house burning:in London and Southwark, investigated by
a jury during the last twelve months, with an account of
the expenses thereon. _

GAS LIGHT—CLEAR as a BRILLIANT.
Tho power of Gas-light, and its simplicity recommend it ; but
to burn Gas without injury t• health, is th• grand object. The
Golden and Comet Gas Burners a stream of lucid light display ; its
hiteness is proof of its purity— a perfect combination of the gases
is effected, this SChallee has decreed correct. Economy in use. .No
carbon emitted. Can any more be dono,? All common gas burners
should be laid aside, their continued use only creates further •oils.
Thes• perfect burners are Ss. 3d., ss. 9d., and 6s. 3d. each, according
to their power of light. Burning continually at the Establishment of
the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY, RICHARD CLARK,
Resident Manager, 447, West Strand, Ten Doors from Lowther
Arcade.

" I may beg to mention that since my last report I
have been favoured with a communication from the
noble and excellent Lord chief Justice of England, in
which his Lordship says, that long before he heard of
the suggestion that coroners should inquire respecting
fires, it occurred to him as a most desirable improve-
ment, and his Lordship, with his accustomed kindness,
adds, that it would giro him pleasure to assist in any
measure that promised protection to the public against
one of the worst of crimes.

" I am further assured by all classes of the great
utility of these inquiries; and, as an instance of the im-
portance with which they are regarded by the fire in-
surance offices, I may mention that in a recent case in a
metropolitan county, one of those offices not only paid all
the expenses of an inquest, amounting to upwards of 40!.,
but presented the coroner with twenty-five guineas for
his time and trouble therein.

A R R I A G E.
31 One kalf the wend aro desolately single, and the other
ampos'ag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
.)f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
,•estapresiag harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
sad broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
lement. Honour and justicesiensaid that health should form as item
in the compact; tt alone iignifles the alliance. Blighted hopes •r

" These inquiries are generally long, occasionally ad-
journed, and sometimes attended by counsel, and as this
Honourable Court, with a view to the public benefit, has
voluntarily taken the payment into its own hands, I
venture to suggest, if the matter should be refered to a
committee, as on a former occasion, that the Court will
permit the committee to consider whether the fee of one
guinea hitherto paid by the City is a sufficient remu-
neration for judicial labour in cases occupying two And
sometimes three days in the investigation.
" I have the honour to remain, &c.,
" WILLIAM PAYNE, Coroner."
The communication was referred to the General Pur-
poses Committee. . _ _

Mr. DALIN postponed the consideration of the report
on the subject of the abolition of the Ecclesiastical
Courts.

THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Mr. WIRE gave notice of a motion for the erection of
a third court in the Old Bailey, which he stated war
greatly needed for the public interest and accommoda-
tion. He wished to be allowed to bring on the motion
at the moment, without notic:., but the proposal was ob-
jected to as an infringement of the standing orders,
which it would, in the opinion of the Court, be preju-
dicial to suspend, except upon very urgent occasions.

ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION.
Mr. LOTT (the chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Fi-
nance Committee) brought up a report, recommending
the grant of 100/. to the Royal Infirmary for Consump-
tion, Diseases of the Chest, &c.
It stated that the institution had rendered medical
assistance to 35,006 persons of the labouring classes, and
that it was in contemplation to receive in-door patients,
but that the funds were very contracted.
Mr. LOTT, in moving that the report should be agreed
to, declared that the utmost gratitude was due from the
public to the medical officers of the institution for their
indefatigable industry and profound skill in the treat-
ment of the dreadful disease for the cure of which it had
been formed.

Mr. ANDERTON opposed the grant. He stated that
although several large bequests and legacies had been
given to the (institution. the annual contributions did
not—such was the opinion of its efficacy entertained
by irs living patrons—amount to more than 331. 19s. 9d.,
most of the prominent supporters having subscribed
only one guinea each. It was a fact, too,
that no meeting—no, not even a dinner meeting—had
been held upon the subject of the merits of the institu-
tion for nineteen years, and not a single in-door patient
was ever indebted to its virtues. Could an institution
conducted so as not to be qualified to give to a poor con-
sbue ms
api tdi vteo ohbaj
ve
ec t a
claimsrefuge forno mt h
et hceo sr epvoer raittiyo

rf seasonstilheo
that it had the shadow of a claim. denied
Mr. Deputy STEVENS was surprised that so strange a
ground of opposition should be selected as the poverty
of an institution, which, it it possessed the means, would
do an incalculable amount of good. It was true there
were no domains connected with its support, and, indeed,
he apprehended that the very modest manner in which it
had been conducted—the very silence, partaking of the
nature of the awful malady itself, observed with respect
to its necessities—was one of the chief causes of the
existing state of its funds.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. LOTT gave credit to Mr. Anderton for the moral
courage he displayed in opposing the claims of charitable
institutions generally. It Was, however, very fortunate
for the reputation of the Court that such moral exertions
were generally unsuccessful.—(A laugh.) The present
would, in all probability, furnish another instance of the
efficacy of such generous intentions.
The grant was then agreed to by a vast majority.
TEE CITY OF LONDON NEWERB ACT.

Mr. Deputy PEACOCK (the Chairman of the Court of
Sewers) brought up the report upon the proceedings in
Parliament in reference to the City of London sewers
Act. Ile considered it necessary to say a few words, to
account to the Court for the delay which had taken place
in procuring their Act, which, if it had not been for
Lord Morpeth and the Marquis of Lansdowne, they'
would not have succeeded in obtaining in the session of
Parliament just concluded. It was with the greatest
difficulty the fill was carried, in consequence of the
length of time occupied in the conflict to maintain the
keel rights and interests of England and Wales, in
which conflict the city of London joined.—(Hear.) In
that battle a victory had been gained, from which, he
trusted, the city of London would derive advantage, as
well as the extensive localities whose claims had been
so powerfully advocated, and which had been thus
left to their own management. After that impor-
tant arrangement came on the Metropolitan Bill, in
whiCh a very anxious desire seemed to be entertained
that the City interests should be included. The
City, however, disapproved of the proposed amalgama-
tion, and notwithstanding the advice given to Lord Mor-
pethiby their excellent friend, Mr. Chadwick—(A laugh)

T.,SEPT.I4
.INTELLIGENCE._ThfuIIe Board
of
PORTS
Admi-
ralty, with the exception of the Hon. Mr. Cowper, at-
tended by the usual official staff, arrived here this morn-
ing by express from London on their annual official visit of
inspection to the port and its dependencies. The Board
was met at the station at Gosport by the Commander in-
Chief, Admiral-Superintendent, Captain-Superintendent
of the Clarence•yerd, Flag-Captains Eden and Yates,
the Flag-Lieutenants, and all the staff of the port, who
escorted them to the Clarence-yard, where the first
object the official party inspected was Mr. Grant's
(the store-keeper) apparatus for the double distillery
of salt water and cooking provisions for officers
and men of her Majesty's (or any other) ships, par
ticularly steamers, This important piece of compact
mechanism is calculated to cook provisions for a ship's
company, consisting of :300 men, at once, and at the
same time it will roast, bake, stew, steam, and boil provi-
sions for the use of the offic, rs; during these operations it
will also double distil salt water at the average rate of
12 gallons per hour; the entire expenditure of eoal does
not exceed 141 b. per hour, which is not above one-hall
what is required for a frigate's crew. The water so dis-
tilled is excellent, both for drink and for culinary pur-
poses, and the whole, made of copper, does not exceed
the expense of the present huge iron apparatus by which
one species of cooking only can be performed at one
time, and for comparatively few persons. The whole
apparatus, which is too simple to describe, was in full
work this morning when the official party entered the
building in which it is erected, and exhibited in tempt-
ing preparation, at one view, a fine sirloin of beef roast-
ing, tarts, pies, bread, &c., baking, tongue, ham, veget-
ables of all kinds in growth, and puddings boiling, meat
stewing, soup making, &c., which, when put upon the
table in a house spread for the occasion, formed as sub-
stantial and elegant a dejeuner as any Englishman need
wish for, and of which the whole of the;official party and
sundry visitors most heartily partook. It is almost un-
necessary to add that the apparatus was highly approved
of by the board.
After inspecting this admirable improvement of Mr.
Grant's, the board inspected the progress of the works
of the new slaughter-house at the north corner, thence
visiting the bakery, and afterwards the new reception-
rooms at the terminus of the Royal Railway, which are
building on the site of the old slaughter-house' com-

R.E. of this the cost of which
dock-
yard, showed the plans of the work, and also his design
for a coaling jetty, from the Clarence-yard store-houses
into the harbour, a length of tramway of 1,500 yards
for coaling steamers and storing ships generally, the cost
of which was estimated at 15,0001.; the trains to be
worked by horse or hydraulic power. This, we under-
-stood, was highly appreciated by the board, but they
seemed to think so great a work could not be done
for so little money. From the Clarence-yard the
board proceeded to the Royal Marine Barracks at
Forton, of which they made an inspection under the
guidance of Colonel Powell, Second Commandant of
the division, Lieutenant-Colonel Ballingall, and the chief
officers of the corps; and, whilst here, their Lordships
consented to an improvement of the comfort of the
married sergeants, which we should be glad to
see also bestowed upon the married privates throughout
her Majesty's service—viz., parting off the sleeping
apartments by proper partitions, instead of, as now, only
by a rude curtain, which secures no privacy, and conse-
quently leaves no decent distinction between the mar •
ried and single quartered in barracks. After viewing
the plans of the new buildings, officers' quarters, &c., in
course of erection by Mr. Bramble, the contractor, the
official party embarked in their barge, which had been
skilfully navigated up the creek in the rear of the bar-
rack by their Lordships' Flag-Lieutenant (Mr. E. Her--
rick, 1815, First of the Victory), and with their flag in
the bow came down the harbour to the Royal Hospi-
tal at Hasler (saluted- aesr passing the Victory with
fns), where Captain Superintendent Sir Wil-
liam Parry and the full staff of the establishment
received their Lordships, who made a minute inspec-
tion of the establishment, which yielded the
,most
general satisfaction. From Hasler the board and
retinue crossed the harbour in their barge, and landed
at the Sallypert, whence they walked to the George
Hotel and prepared for dinner. Admiral Sir Charles
Ogle had the pleasure of entertaining them at his
(Acid mansion. The following comprised the party:
—Sir Charles Ogle and family circle, Rear-Admiral
Prescott, C. 8., the Earl of Auckland, Rear Admiral
Dundas, Captain Lord John Hay, Captain Berkeley,
Captain Milne, Admiral Sir Francis Austin, Vice-Ad-
miral Sir John Owmanney, Captain Sir W. E. Parry,

tain Charles Eden (flag), Colonel Irvine, ILE., Mr. and
Mrs. Roberts, Captain James, R.E., Captain Ellice,

Messrs. Weoley and Grant, of the Admiralty; Captain
Sir Baldwin Walker, Colonel Powell, R.Alo
Mr. Se-

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompa-
nied by the Prince and Princess Hohenlohe, came up
from Cowes in the Fairy, and went round the Powerful,
84, Captain lion. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., this afternoon,
receiving a royal salute from that ship in passing. She
returned immediately.
We regret to hear that Commodore Sir J. Gordon
Bremer, K.C.8., K C.H., has been compelled, in conse-
quence of the ill state of his health, to retire for a short
time from the active performance of his onerous duties
as superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, and is about
to proceed on sick leave of absence for six weeks, Lady
Bremer accompanying the gallant officer. It is hoped
that Sir Gordon's health will very soon be re-estab-
lished ; but, in the meanwhile, in order that the respon-
sible duties of this important ffice may be efficiently at-
tended to, the Admiralty have selected that very able
and excellent officer, Captain Robert Fitzroy
during Sir Gordon lirettirs
superintend the dockyard
leave of absence. This selection is a most appropriate
one, for, as it is well understood that Captain Fitzroy is
to commission the Arrogant, 4(1, screw-frigate, so soon
as she is ready, he will hare an opportunity, as
ofg
(1834), to,

A. la 21ARINES IN IRELAND.-- VY ostateu on vv euuea
day that the battalion of Royal Marines serving in Ire-
land under Lieutenant-Colonel Wines were ordered to
Plymouth and Pertsmouth. It is very fortunate that
they bad not left, for their services were again
called in requisition at Waterford on the 13th, when
news of the rebel irroyements reached that city. The
order was given early in the morning for the marines to
land from the Rhadamanthus steam .transport, when,
