CITY !,COURT OF SEWER 3.

Yesterday a Court was held. The members were oc•
pied during the day in hearing appeals of several persons
against the assessment of their respective premises to
the consolidated rate.
SANITARY STATE OP THE SEWER.

Dr. Letheby presented a list of the places that re-
quired the orders of the court for their sanitary improve-
ment in various particulars.

The mortality tables for the last fortnight indicated a
very favourable state of the public health, especially in
the absence of epidemic disease and in the small propor-
tion of deaths from diseases of an endemic character.
The total number of deaths for the fortnight is 98. Of
these 39 occurred among children under five years of
ago, and 41 among old people of 70 years and upwards.
The mortality has, therefore, been some what high among
the aged ; in fact, so many as 17 old persons have died
during the fortnight whose average ages were 77. This
has been occasioned by the depressive influence of the
cold weather. Among the other causes of death are
the following :-5 from fever, 6 from measles and croup,
10 from hydrocephalus and convulsions, 13 from bron-
chitis and pneumonia of children, and 18 from consump-
tive disease ; besides which there were only three cases
of death from scarlet fever, and one from diarrhoea.
There were no deaths from small-pox.

THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS.

Dr. LETHEBY submitted his quarterly report on the
illuminating power and chemical quality of the gas sup-
plied to the city by the Great Central Gas Consumers
Company, from which it appears that the photometrical
value of the gas has been equal to that of 12.5 sperm
candles, or 14.3 wax, each burning at the rate of 120
grains per hour. This is from 19 to 20 per cent, over
the act of Parliament standard. The chemical quality of
the gas has also been of a satisfactory description.

THE 'MEAT CENTRAL GAS.

Dr. LETIIEBY submitted his quarterly report on the
illuminating power and chemical quality of the gas sup-
plied to the city by the Great Central Gas Consumers

men drop from the window, one into a passage from
which there was no outlet, and the other into the
yard. He dressed himself and went down, and saw
the prisoners taken into custody.

Mr. Combe asked how they gained admission into
the premiees?

Witness replied, by opening a window in the back,
near where he slept: Tie believed that was closed
when he went to bed.

James Green, watchman to Messrs. Hepburn, said
about five o'clock that morning a constable called him
and told him that thieves were on the prerei,ee. He
immediately admitted the officer, and they went over
the place, and found the prisoners crouched up in a
dark corner of the yard, and he gave them into custody.
In answer to the charge the prisoners said they
were houseless, and en passing the prosecutor's pre-
mised they saw a gate open. They entered, when they
saw a man who asked them what they vaulted. They

TURKEY.

We have received the Constantinople
.journals
and letters of the Gth, brought by the Sinai, but
their contents are not of any great political in-
terest. No further change in the Cabinet had
taken place, but a general opinion was entertained
that some further modifications must shortly be
effected. It was said that Reschid Pacha had
experienced some warm opposition on the part
of his colleagues, a circumstance which was the
more unexpected by him that it is said to be
the fist time in his long political career that he
has met with it. Some of the ministers had
gone so far as to tender their resignations, which
had not been accepted. The acceptations, it was
thought, would have taken place could any one
have been found to replace Fuad Pacha as Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Yefik, formerly
ambassador in Persia, was at first thought of, but
the mere mention of his name was so unfavourably
received by the public that the idea was abandoned.
Mahmoud Pacha, the present Governor of Smyrna,
was then written to, and when his answer shall
have bee'. received, the new Ministry will be con-
stituted, as all the other members have been fixed
on. Business of any importance was suspended
in consequence of this state of crises. Admiral
Lyons had taken all his measures for wintering in

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Fribourg in the Debits gives some
details of the disturbances which took place there
on the 9th, the fact of which we have already men-
tioned :—" In the evening of the Bth a number of
persons entered a milk shop and compelled the
owner to sell the milk at a reduced price to any one
that came. On' the following day, a carman who had
gone with a load of casks of wine into the canton
of Berne, filled his casks, on returning, with pota-
toes for the canton of Vaud. In passing through
this place, the nature of his loading having been
discovered, a crowd assembled, took possession of
the cart and drove it to the public square, where
the casks were opened and the greatest part car-
ried off by the people. The prefect being informed
of what had talc n place ordered the potatoes to
be restored to their owner, and he was paid for the
part which was missing. An individual who had
ill treated another citizen at the time of this rob-
bery was arrested. Several of his comrades wished
to rescue him, but the gendarmery stood firm' and
arrested two of the aggressors. A fresh crowd as-
sembled before the guard-house demanding the
release of the three prisoners, but the prefect ener-
getically refused to comply while the crowd re-
mained. On this, the most violent of them went
away, crying out As Armes ! but when the
crowd had somewhat dispersed the prisoners were
set at liberty. About four o'clock, the waggon
with the potatoes left the town escorted as far as
the gates by the gendarmery, who were assailed
by the people. At half-past four a fresh crowd
assembled in the Rue de Lausanne, and stopped a
large waggon, which was said to to loaded with
potatoes. A party of gendarmes had great diffi-
culty in releasing it and making a passage for it to
proceed on its journey. Five minutes after, an un-
fortunate event took place in the Rue des Oies.
The lieutenant of the gendarmery and three of his
men attempted to arrest a workman who was the
ringleader in the previous disturbances. The man,
however, resisted, and in the scuffle he was shot
through the head, and died a short time after.
The crowd on seeing this became exasperated, and
raised cries of Vengeance ! Aux Armes For a
moment, the gendarmes were in great danger, but,
a reinforcement coming up, they were extricated.
The generale was beaten, and for a time serious
disturbances were apprehended. The national
guards at first turned out, but many of them af-
terwards returned to their homes. Some women
were seen disarming their husbands, while others,
on the contrary, were exciting them against the
armed force. One part of the national guard,

RUSSIA.

A ceremony, not perhapsquitTsuita,ble to present
circumstances-, took place at Moscow on the 4th,
when the anniversary of the abandonment of that
city by the French in 1812 was celebrated with
great pomp. The nietropolitan liiahop, I'hilaretis,

officiated. Atter the liturgy a procession took
place round the. Kremlin, the, great bells of the
cathedral ringing ad the while.

POLAND.

A letter from Warsaw of the 11th, in the Debats,
says :—" Among the concessions for which Poland
is indebted to the Emperor Alexander 11. is that
of great liberty granted to literary works. The
o:nsorship which was formerly so severe for every
work printed in the kingdom or imported from
abroad is now much less so. Several pamphlets
which recently appeared are sold publicly. These
works treat on questions of public utility,
point out to the Government the material wants
of the country, and the means by which the
condition of the working classes in both town and
country might be benefited. Our journals and
those of Russia now discuss the great material
questions on the order of the day, and it is i4P
marked that, in the circles, in the cafes, and other
places of public resort, foreign journals, particu-
larly those of France and Germany, may be read,
and it is very rare that they are now seen with
large black patches, from articles being intention-
ally illegible, which were formerly so often seen on
them. Since the peace several corps of Russian
troops have left Poland and returned to the in-
terior of the empire, but the garrison of this city
and of the fortified places near the Austrian fron-
tiers of Gallicia are still kept on a war footing.
The other frontiers,- particularly those of Prussia,
are but weakly guarded."

TILE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. B.—The screw steamship Simla,
Captain E. Cooper, belonging to the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company, and which has
been chartered by the European and'Australian Mail
Company, went out on a trial trip to-day with a view of
testing her speed, preparatory to starting from South.
ampton on the 12th inst. for Melbourne with the mails.
The Simla is the largest and finest steamer of the
fleet of Peninsular and Oriental Company, being
of 1,600 tons burden and. 600-horse power. Since
her return from the Crimea, where this vessel
rendered important services in the transport de-
partment, during the war, the Simla has been
thoroughly overhauled and refitted, and was in-
tended to have been employed in the Australian mail
service if the.contract had been conceded to thePaninsu-
lar and Oriental Company. This company has however
so far co-operated with the. European and Australian
Company as to place the Simla and one or two other of
their steamers in the Eastern seas at its disposal, till the
new ships building have been completed, The Simla on
her trial to-day had on board 1,460 tons of coals, and
340 tons of stores, in all say 1,800 tons dead weight,
and the draught of water was 20 feet 3 inches aft, and
21 feet forward. Notwithstanding this unfavourable
trim, causing the ship to be 15-inches by the head
the two runs made at the measured mile in Stokes's
Bay were as follows:—First run withtide, 4m 425, equal
to 12 766 knots ; second, against wind and tide, 5m 25e,
equal to 11 192 knots, showing an average of nearly 12
knots or 13 miles an hour, a result which was in the
highest degree satisfactory, considering that the Simla is
fully voyage, and
was laden with coatsand stores for a long
not in the favourable trim usually adjusted for the
especial advantage of official trial trips.
A large party
of gentlemen interested in and connected with the two
companies were on board.

—On Thursday morningRAILWAY ACCIDENT. the mail
traiu from Dahlia ran off the line between Castleblaney
and Dundalk. No livos were lost, but the mail was
three hours late in Enniskillen.

LATEST NEWS.

MARSEILLES, SUNDAY.
The English expedition sailed on the 30th
October, from Bombay. The Imaum of Mu9cat
will furnish us with reinforcements and pro-

visions.

By advices from Constantinople of the 30th we
learn that the Cressy and Desperate have arrived
to reinforce Lord Lyons. The St. Jean d'Acre is
expected.

Austria has succeeded in pacifying Montenegro,
The question of replacing the Cahnakan of Wal-
lachia by Prince Samos-Ghika is again rais3d.

HANOVER, Nov. 9.
The Chambers have been dissolved by royal
decree. A general election will take place. The
new Chambers will be convened for the 10th of
February, 1857.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times (se•
cond edition), says :

" It is related in diplomatic circles that on tlite
very day on which Count de Morny received a
hint from his master not to do any business' as
long as he remained in Russia, he•sold the splen-
did carriage which he had used at the Coronation
to the Emperor Alexander for 60,000 f. No
guarantee can be given for the correctness of the
foregoing piece of information, but it was related
to me as a positive fact, and does not appear
improbable. The Austrians ask whether Lord
Granville or Prince Esterhazy would have
consented to sell his State carriage to the
Monarch to whom he had been sent on an extra-
ordinary mission, and the reply to the question
is almost always in the negative. In this part of
the world people have never had a very high
opinion of the great majority of those persons who
are around the Emperor Napoleon, but during
the last two or three months they have lost all
confidence in thew. If an alliance with Russia
were likely to be of advantage to the Emperor
Napoleon there would be some little excuse for the
conduct of his official advisers, but it is here be-
lieved that some of them make all other conside-
rations subservient to their own private interests."

OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE RECENT TRIALS

AT SHOEBURYNESS.
We stated the other week that the trials made with
the 13-inch wrought iron monster gun, manufactured by
Me,srs. Horefall, at the Mersey Works, Liverpool, and
presented by tbem to the country on the condition that
it should " be used against the enemy," were eminently
successful. We mentioned on that occasion, in general
terms, the nature of the trials and the distances of range
obtained ; but we are now iu a position to place before
our readers the official report, showing the results of 50
rounds, each fired with a 501 b. charge, the projectile
being solid shot, 2301 b. weight. The length of the gun,
it will be remembered, is 15 feet 10 inches, and its
weight (exclusive of the carriage) 437 cwt. The sub-
joined table gives the elevation of the gun in each
round, the range, deflection, time of flight, &c.

TIIE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. B.—The screw steamship Simla,
the European and Australian Mail
Captain E. Cooper, belonging to the Peninsular and
peen
Oriental Steam Navigation Company, and which has
Company, went out on a trial trip to-day with a view of
testing her speed, preparatory to starting from South•
arnpton on the 12th inst. for Melbourne with the mails.
The Simla is the largest and finest steamer of the
fleet of the Peninsular and oriental Company, being
of 2,600 tons burden and 600-horse power. Since
her return from the Crimea, where this vessel
rendered important services in the transport de-
partment, during the war, the Simla has been
thoroughly overhauled and refitted, and was in-
tended to have been employed in the Australian mail
servicu if the contract had been conceded to the Penins-
ular and Oriental Company. This company has however
so far co-operated with the European and Australian
Company as to place the Sinalaaind one or two other of
their steamers in the Eastern seas at its disposal, till the
new ships building have been completed. The Simla on
her trial to-day bad on board 1,460 tons of coals, and
340 tons of stores, in all say 1,800 tons dead weight,
and the draught of water was 20 feet 3 inches aft, and
213 feet forward. Notwithstanding this unfavourable
trim, 'causing the ship to be 15 inches by the head
the two runs made at the measured mile in Stokes's
ufoernaanlyong
Bay were as follows :—First run with tide, 4m 425, equal
to 12 766 knots ; seund, against wind and tide, 5m 255,
equal to 11 192 knots, showing an average of nearly 12
knots or 13 miles an hour, a result which was in the
highest degree satisfactory, considering that the Simla is
voyage, and
adjusted for the
A. large party
of gentlemen interested in and connected with the two
companies were on board.

NEW ALLIANCES.

In an article entitled "New Alliances," which
is in the Frankfort Post Zeitany of the 4th, it is
said that the Bund ought to give its entire sup-
port to Austria and England, but the writer has
little confidence in Prussia. He speaks of the peace
of Tilsit, and recals to the recollection of Prussia the
disastrous consequences of that treaty, but he evi-
dently feels that the B.:Tlin Cabinet is likely to
take advantage of the favourable opportunity which
now presents itself for being revenged on Austria.
Prince Schwarzenberg, the late Austrian Minister,
made Baron Von Manteuffel " cat so much dirt,"
in 1851, and that statesman has been excessively
bilious ever since. It is positively known here
that Prussia gives her support to Russia and
France in the matter of the withdrawal of the
English and Austrian forces from the Turkish
territory, and it is believed that she approves the
refusal of Russia to cede New Bolgrad. qn the
Ist the Grand Duchess Alexandra, the wife of
the Grand Duke Constantine, who is of the family
of Saxe•Altenburg, arrived at Berlin.

THE KING OP NAPLES.

The Naples correspondent of the Oest. Zictung
writes that the King now, appears inclined to make
some slight concessions. The expected amnesty is
likely to be delayed for a few days, as some alter-
ations are to be made in the royal decree " in
favour of the prisoners." It is related that the
Duke of Calabria, the eldest son of the King of
Naples, will meet the Emperor and Empress of
Austria at Venice. It is whispered in some private
circles, which are generally well informed, that his
Majesty has relinquished all idea of going to Milan,
but he will certainly go to Venice and Verona, and
that on the 17th of this month.

The Frankfort and Berlin papers inform 'the
public that the Political Committee of the German
Confederation has pronounced in favour of the
motion which was made by Prussia on Thursday,
30th October, but (says a letter just received from
Vienna) the news is only partially correct. On
the Ist Nov. the Committee recommended the
Bund to intercede in favour of the Royalist pri-
soners in Neuchatel, and to accede to the London
Protocol of May 21, 1852, but it ignored that part
of the proposition of the representative of Prussia
in which it was the question of the employment
" of more serious measures" if the Swiss Confede.
ration should remain obdurate.

The Zeit, a Prussian Ministerial organ, an-
nounces that a magnificent team of Trakehner
horses has been sent by the King of Prussia to the
Emperor of the French, and adds, that his Majesty
has already received presents of value from Louis
Napoleon.

The Wiener Zietung announces that all the
members of the European Danubian Commission
are assembled at Galatz.

The Neue Wurzbicry Zeitung, which every now
and then picks up a piece of authentic informa-
tion, contains the following :
"We learn that some weeks since France and
Russia entered into a binding engagement relative
to the line of conduct to be observed on the fol-
lowing questions :—The Danubian Principalities
and their future re-organisation ; the new Mol-
davian frontier and the prolongation of the occu-
pation of the Principalities and of the Black Sea."

HANOVER, Nov. 9.

The Chambers have been dissolved by royal
decree. A general election will take place. The
new Chamberg will be convened for the 10th cf
February, 1857.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times (se-
cond edition), says :

" It is related in diplomatic circles that on this
very day on which Count de Morny received a
hint from his master not to do any business' as
long as he remained in Russia, ho sold the splen-
did carriage which he had used at the Coronation
to the Emperor Alexander for 60,000 f. No
guarantee can be given for the correctness of the
foregoing piece of information, but it was related
to me as a positive fact, and does not appear
improbable. The Austrians ask whether Lord
Granville or Prince Esterhazy would have
consented to sell his State carriage to the
Monarch to whom he had been sent on an extra-
ordinary mission, and the reply to the question
is almost always in the negative. In this part of
the world people have never had a very high
opinion of the great majority of those persons who
are around the Emperor Napoleon, but during
the last two or three months they have lost all
confidence in them. If an alliance with Russia
were likely to be of advantage to the Emperor
Napoleon there would be some little excuse for the
conduct of his official advisers, but it is here be-
lieved that some of them make all other conside-
rations subservient to their own private interests."

LI lERATURE.

Records of Longevity. By Thomas Bailey. Darto%

and Co., H.,
olborn-hill.

This volume affords a list of the names of those
who attained a patriarchal age. It gives an intro'
ductory Discourse on Vital Statistics, recommend
ing the usual golden rules of exercise, temperance;
and peace of mind ; and the anecdotes scatterou
through the pages in connection with the modern
Methusalehs tend to pleasantly relieve the some'
what dry subject.
