TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta,—Permit me to request the favour of your pub•
lieation, at your earliest convenience, of the annexed
letter to the projectors, invited by advertisement in the
public journals of the day, to send in plans for the
drainage, &c., of the metropolis, to the Metropolitan
Commissioners of Sewers.

I am, Sir, your very obedient servant,
RICHARD DOVER.
28, New-street, Spring-gardens, Sept. 10.

To the Gentlemen who, having been invited so to do,
sent in Plans for the Drainage, &c., of the
Metropolis, to the Metropolitan Commissioners
of Sewers.
Gentlemen,—l beg to propose that we should
have a public meeting for the following purposes :-
1. To consider whether the -projectors have been
treated with justice, with reference to our several
plans, by the Commissioners.
2. Whether it is just towards us that the expenses
of preparing the plans of Captain Vetch, one of their
own body, should have been paid for out of the sewers
rates.
3. To ascertain what portion or portions of any
scheme or schemes, forwarded by Us projectors to the
Commissioners have been plagiarised.
4. To inquire whether the cost of Captain Vetch's
scheme for "improving the water supply of the me-
tropolis" was paid out of the sewers-rates ;if so, by
what authority. Because we mly infer from the
unrefuted statement of Mr. Tabberner in the Daily
News, on the Bth ult , that the expenses of both his
(Captain Vetch's) drainage and water schemes were
paid out of said public fund.
And, lastly, That all said projectors of plans for
drainage, sewerage, &c., of the metropolis meet pub-
licly for the purpose of taking such steps as the jus-
tice of the case may require.
Awaiting your several replier, I am, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
RICHARD DOVER.

IRELAND.
DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE DOHERTY'.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 10.—The passengers by the Holy-
head boat, which arrived at Kingstown this morning,
state-that the Right lion. John Doherty, the Chief
Justice of the Citninon Pleas in Ireland, died sud-
denly, in short dropped down dead at Beaumauris,
North Wales, on Sunday evening, where he had been
sojourning with his family since the close of the
a,sizes. Mr. Doherty filled the post of Solicitor-
General during the viceroyalty of Lord Anglesey, by
whoa), to the great surprise of the Irish bar and
public, he was elevated to the Chief Justicesbip of the
Common Pleas. The vacancy in the Irish bench
will be filled by the Attorney-General, if the recent
Act regulating the Irish courts, and, if I mistake not,
reducing the number of the Irish Judges, should not
offer an impediment.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
Mr. John O'Connell made his weekly speech yes-
terday at Conciliation Hall, which was no way dis-
tinguishable from previous orations, save in so far as
it contained a glowing eulogy on the public and pri-
vate virtues of General Haynau, and a bitter invec-
tive against " the ruffians," as be described the men
at Barclay'a brewery, who too rudely assailed the
" Austrian butcher." Mr. O'Connell in the course of
his panegyric was interrupted by the chairman, W.
P. O'Connor, who observed, that if what he had read
of that individual was true, he was unworthy of the
society of pigs. Amongst other atrocities, he was re-
presented to have caused the women of Hungary to
be stripped naked and flogged in the street ; and if all
these things were done by him, he (the chairman) did
not see why he was not deserving of a slight sousing.
The observations of the chairman seemed to be quite
in accordance with the opinions of the meeting, more
especially the gentlemen in the body of the hall, by
whom the very mention of the name of Ilaynau was
received with groans botb loud and deep.
The rent for the week amounted to Si. 6s. 81.

THE POISONINGS AT CLAVERING.—Sarah Chesham,
the alleged poisoner, was again brought up at Newport gaol,
before Mr. Birch Wolfe, one of the county magistrates, for
re-examination, on the charge of having destroyed her hus-
band, Richard Chesham, by administering arsenic to him.
In consequence of the pre-s being excluded from hearing the
evidence, we are unable to give the statements of the wit-
nesses. The proceedings lasted nearly five hours, and twelve
or fourteen persons were examined. A mass of circum-
stantial evidence was adduced as to procuring poison and ad-
ministering it, and one witness, it is said, swore positively to
the prisoner having confessed giving I oison to the child of
Lydia Taylor, and her intention of destroying the mother.
At the close of the proceedings the bench determined on re-
manding the prisoner in order to procure other important
evidence.

NATIONAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETT.—Two new
estates have just been purchased by this society. The first
consists of nearly seventy acres, in the village 01 Penge, near
the Croydon railway. The second is in West Surrey, and
contains about one hundred acres, most pleasantly situated
on the South-Western Railway, close to the dodalming
station. Both these estates are adapted for villa residences,
and will be divided into allotments sufficiently large, not only
to confer the right of voting, but as are adapted to the re-
spective neighbourhoods, and to the wants of a large class of
the members of the society.
MONET MARKET.—The premium on gold at Purls
is 71 per mune, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. r,*i. pt r ounce for standard gold, gives an ex:
change of 25.34; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.321, it follows that golf is 0.06 per
ct•nt. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 43i1 per mark, which,
at the Enrli,h Mint price of 3/. 17f. lOid. andpe c
ex-
for
standard gold, gives Cl) exchange of 13.13.9,, the
change at llamburgh on London at short being 13
84,
it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent. dearer in Ham-
burgh than in London. The course of exchange at
New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1104
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
At:cleric, being 109 23-40 per cent.,
it follows that the
