COURT OF SEWERS.
A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the
City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of the
county of Middlesex, was held yesterday at the
Sewers'-office, Greek- street, Soho-square, Thomas
Leverton Donaldson, Esq., in the chair.
The first business before the Court was " to receive
and consider the report of the surveyors on the
printed report of Messrs. Allason, Harrison and Cant-
well (three Commissioners), respecting the use of in-
verts, ventilating shafts, and other matters." The
printed report was read by Mr. Hertslett, the clerk,
and stated that, in obedience to the following resolu-
tion of the Court of Sewers of the Ist day of March,
1844, viz.:—
" ' That it be referred to Messrs. Allason, Harrison
and Cantwell, to examine the bill for works done in St
Martin's-lane and in the Strand by Northumberland
House, in order to inquire into the relative cost of the
ordinary brick invert and one with granite or Welsh
stone; and their opinion be requested as to the expe
diency of adopting a stone invert either in part or whole
of the invert of principal lines of sewers ; also to in-
quire into, and report upon the desirableness and prac-
ticability of having vent gratings over the shafts in the
centre of streets.' They had, in the first place, proceeded
to examine and inquire into the cost attendant upon the
stone invert of the sewers in St. Martin's-lane and the
Strand, referred to in the above resolution, beyond the
ordinary brick invert, and found that su2ll cost was
4s. iod. per lineal foot (these sewers being four feet six
inches in width). They desired, however, to report that
such increased cost must not be taken as the cost that
would in future be incurred, should stone inverts be
adopted to any considerable extent, as they found
upon careful investigation and inquiry that, in large
quantities, the stone might be obtained at a much
cheaper rate, and the labour, from the stone being better
prepared at the quarry, and other causes, done at con-
siderable less expense.
They had also given the subject of stone inverts
their best consideration, and they were decidedly of
opinion that the entire invert and whole of the bot-
tom should be of granite. With reference, also, to
the desirableness and practicability of having vent
gratings over the shafts in the principal streets, they
were decidedly of opinion that such a plan should be
adopted, as they would prevent in a great measure
the accumulation of gas, the explosion of which had
so frequently injured the officers and men belong-
ing to that Court. They would, also, in a great de-
gree obviate the offensive smells from gully grates.
The cost of the grating over each shaft was repre-
sented at 12s. 6d., and as there were about 2,000
shafts in the principal streets, the total expense would
be about 1,2501. They recommended that the vent
gratings should first be tried in the extent of Oxford-
street.
Mr. Dowley, the surveyor's, and Mr. Hawkins,
the assistant surveyor's, reports upon the above report
were then read ; and they, while concurring in the
use of ventilating gratings in principal thoroughfares,
expressed an opinion that the granite inverts and
bottoms, so strongly recommended by the three Com-
missioners, would be better if of Welsh stone, but
they- also thought that good bricks, as much less ex-
pensive, would be found superior.
Mr. CANTWELL explained that himself and his
brother Commissioners, who drew up the report, in
obedience to the wishes of the Court, did not require
the Court to adopt any or all of their suggestions.
They might adopt or reject what they saw proper.
He left the report entirely in the hands of the Court.
Mr. LESLIE would wish to make a few remarks
upon the reports they had just heard read; and, first,
with respect to the statement of 4s. 101 for stone
inverts per lineal foot. lie had made calculations
from dimensions in stone- work, and the prices charged
by Mr. Bennett, and he had compared those dimensions
with the cost in brick-work. He found, as he had
expected, a vast difference, and he thought Air. Cant-
well must be wrong in his calculations when he stated
that the stone inverts would be only 4s. 10d. per lineal
foot. He would ask that gentleman how he obtained
such a result ?
correct.
Mr. all the bills of costs be-
fore us.
The CHAIRMAN did not see that any gentleman
who had been kind enough to undertake the office,
gratuitously, of returning such a report, should be
so subjected to cross-questioning by any Hon. Com-
missioner.
Mr. LESLIE submitted that the correctness of the
calculations in the report should be ascertained.

?t

Mr. DOIVLEY—No more; I mean less, 14s. lid.
Mr. LESLIE—Bring the bills,and I'll
then, prove
my position.
The CHAIRMAN said, that if
lanAei
they really went into
minute details of this nature, andcalled upon the
officers of the Court to make calculations
at a.
minute's
warning, they would never get over the business. It
must be,remembered by the Hon. Commissioner that
different parts of St. Martin's-lane cost different
sums; for instance, the lower part was more ex-
pensive than the upper. The work was new, and
the men were of course unused to it.
Mr. WlLLouGnur thought that
the question was
not what St. Martin's-lane cost, but was it advisable
to use stone inverts and bottoms, as regarded their
durability and expense at any future period?
The CHAIRMAN thought that if the Hon.
Com-
missioner would state his mode of calculations, and
the conclusions at which he had arrived, it would be
the better way.
Mr. LESLIE then entered into calculations derived
from the bills ending the Christmas quarter of 1843,
showing that the expense of work in St. Martin's-
lane was at the rate of 18s. the square yard. Mr.
Doull had gone over the amounts with him, and he
thought he had a right therefore to apprehend that
Mr. Cantwell 's calculations were founded in error-
He had even omitted several items, because they were
mixed with other charges.
The Citarastax remarked that one of the items
quoted by Mr. Leslie was for work done in the
Strand, and if, therefore, is
-e was wrong in even a
shilling, they had a right to assume that his general
calculations were incorrect. He certainly thought
that the three gentlemen who had furnished the re-
port, as professional men, were entitled to the credit
of that Court, over an unprofessional, however great
his industry might be.
''Alr. laws did not, in that case, see that there
was any necessity for calling on the Court to consider
the matter at all.
The CHAIRMAN would suggest that the surveyors'
reports be printed and laid on the table.
After some conversation, the suggestion was em-,
bodied into a resolution, and carried.
Mr. JOHN WEITZ then brought forward his motion..
" that the Court do return to the consideration of the-
forms and materials of sewers Nos. 1 and 2, as per
regulations in book, page 26, with the view of sub-
stituting improved and more economical forms."'
(The sections presented by Mr. White were laid ilisera
the Committee-room table.) The lion. Commis-
sioner explained, at considerable length, his theory'
that an oval form would be an improvement upon the-
present, inasmuch as it would resist in a greater
degree a lateral pressure, while its power of resisting'
a perpendicular weight would be equal with the,
present. He also introduced to the notice of the'
Court a particular combination of material, superiors

to the present mortar as regarded its adhesive quali-
ties, and resistance to the action of water.
After much discussion, pro and con, the matter was
deferred, that the surveyors might report upon the
same.
Mr. GUTCH then brought forward his motion fur
" the sanction of the Court to permit sewers of a
small size to be built for the drainage of summit
levels, and also of certain collateral branches," which
was also, after some discussion, reserved for future
consideration.
The next business before the Court, " to consider
the forms of contracts, specifications, and bills of
quantities, with the other steps necessary for obtain-
ing new contracts of works,' was introduced by the
Chairman.
Mr. SMITH (solicitor to the Court), in reply to a
question, said that the present bond was made because,
in the oldcontracts, several Commissioners hadsigned
in behalf of the Court, which they had afterwards
declined to do, as they thereby became personally
liable.
The CHAIRMAN had no doubt they would find re-
spectable men, contractors, who would come readily
forward, and tender under this bond, and therefore the
question he thought was, were they, the Court, satis-
fied with the protection it afforded them ?
Mr. WILLOUGHBY—The present bond was quite
sufficient.
Mr. W. DONALDSON suggested that their solicitor
be allowed to consult counsel upon the forms of con-
tract, and then state his and their opinions to the
Court.
The CHAIRMAN requested Mr. Doull to place upon
the table of the Court the lists of DUllliaen given to
the tenderers at the period of the last contract.
Mr. Doull did so.
Mr. Lassa thought the Court was led into error
in the course adopted heretofore. He was of opinion
that a standing contractor was very disadvantageous,
but, before discussing the question further, he wished
to know the course intended to be pursued by the
Court in this matter ?
The CHAIRMAN explained.
Mr. LESLIE—In the last contract Mr. Bennett re-
ceived it, under the supposition that he had furnished
the lowest tender, and he (Mr. Leslie) could affirm,
without fear of contradiction, that it was not so.
He calculated that the public had been losers to the
amount of 1,500/.
The CHAIRMAN thought it would be better if the
Hon. Commissioner would confine himself to the
question, whether there should be a standing con-
tractor at all, and reserve the remarks he was about
to have made till the numbers upon the form came to
be discussed.
Mr. LESLIE thought that all great public works
should be singly advertised, and for this rea-
son. There might be local builders who had
the material in their places, and who had
also labour unemployed, and they might be in-
duced to tender at a very low rate in consequence.
For instance, if work were to be done at a distance,
the standing contractor would require to convey his
material there, which would necessarily increase the
expense, and, therefore, he would require to consider
such in his contract. Bennett's bill was, last year,
16,0001., and they might depend upon it, that the best
labour in the market could be had for such an induce-
ment. At that late hour, he would not enter upon
any detailed argument, but simply content himself by
requesting the Court to act as an individual would
who, requiring to build, would wish to receive the
tender of as many competitors as possible. He would
therefore propose that the Court consider it expe-
dient, not to have a standing contractor for all the
districts over which its jurisdiction extends, but that
tender be received for the formation and repairs of
such sewers as may be advertised.
Mr. R. GUNTER was prepared to second that reso-
lution. He recollected that some years ago, in the
Bayswater district, a work of some importance was
done by a tradesman to whom it was at the time ob-
jected that, his capital being limited, it was necessary
that the Court should be cautious in receiving his
tenders. The officers of the Court were now quite
ready to admit that the work had been finished in an
admirable manner. He would with great pleasure
second the resolution proposed by the Honourable
Commissioner.
After a few words from Mr. JOHN WHITE,
The CHAIRMAN said that there was a considerable
degree of speciousness advanced in support of the
motion before thpm_ It might sepi_probable that in
the chance-medley the public might gain some cer-
tain benefit. But it seemed to him extremely desir-
able, on the other hand, that they should have a con-
tractor for a specified time. They would find, that if
they advertised for tenders of contract for every five or
six hundred yards of sewer they might require, that a
shoal of needy builders would come forward, supplied
perhaps with sureties, and then such difficulties would
arise, as could only be understood by those who had
experienced them in times past. And then let them
consider the increased expense. The officers of the
Court could not do more than they were able to do ;
and the contractors he had described would require to
have a constant clerk of the works overlooking every
rod of work—not for a moment daring to turn his back
—and they might imagine the expense which wouldbe
entailed upon them in consequence. It was said that
the local builder would be enabled to do the works at
a cheaper rate because of his advantages of position ;
but this was altogether a fallacy, because the main
material required in the operations being bricks,
which were not upon his premises but upon the brick-
field, the expense would he the same, whether they
would be laid down in Drury-lane, in Rochester-row,
or in any other locality. Again, let them consider
the digging. Why, particular materials—particular
men—men trained to the employment—were re-
quired ; and such could only be supplied by an ex-
tensive contractor. And what were oftentimes the
consequence of advertisements ? He remembered one
work, where the lowest tender was higher than what
their own contractor would have done it for, but he
had not given in a tender, and the public were there-
fore losers by the system. Therefore he thought it
was desirable that they should have, as a public con-
tractor, a man in whom the Court could trust. lie
would 'add that, even by their present bond, they were
not obliged to give the contractor all their work.
Mr. WILLOUGHBY would support Mr. Leslie so
far, that he thought one year ought to be the maxi-
mum of time in any future contract, as the Court
would thereby have a greater power than they had at
present. He was averse to the employment of small
builders, because the operations of all large public
bodies imperatively demanded the greatest amount o:
skill and capital. He thought, therefore, that the
lowest tender ought not to be always taken, without
other considerations of equal moment being looked
to. They must look to the character of the tenderer
as well.
Mr. LESLIE replied. He hoped that the Court
would go with him for once. The contracts had been
held in the same families for nearly a century, and it
would be a guarantee to the public that the affairs of
that Court were not conducted as some parochial
affairs were, if they broke up this monopoly. Let them
look at some of the items now paid by the Court.
The article of oak planking, for which they now
paid 4s. 6d. the cube foot, it was notoriously a drug
in the market at Is. 6d.
The CHAIRMAN—Oh, no.
Mr. LESLIE was assured of the fact by those who
sold it in quantities, and he had no right to discredit
the statement. He again called upon the Court to
prove its desire to further the public interest, by
joining him in the resolution he had proposed.
The resolution was then put and lost by one.
Mr. WILLOUGHBY moved, and Mr. LESLIE se-
conded, that the contract be for twelve months, and
no longer, with an exception in cases of breach of
contract on the part of the contractor.
Carried unanimously.
The further consideration of the forms of tender
was postponed, and the Court then adjourned.

GREAT CHARTIST GATHERING.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE " BATTLE OF
IfIAPPERLEY-HILL."
A great assembly of the Chartists of this nig,hbour-
hood took place on Monday, in celebration of the
serio-comic farce enacted by the Tory magistrates
and military in 1842. At eleven o'clock, the Chartists
met in the Market-place, and proceeded to the
railway station, where they.met Feargus O'Connor.
On his arrival, they walked in order up Carrington-
street, Lister- gate, Church-lane, Wheeler-gate,
, Market-place, Smithy-row, Clumber-street, Mans-
j field-road, Red-lane, to the celebrated Alapperley
1 Plains. The procession was accompanied b
hils
y band
of music. On arriving on the Mapperley-ls,
where a considerable number of booths had been
pitched, an elevated position was chosen for the
speakers, and Mr. Sweet was unanimously called
upon to preside during the delivery of the speec That
hes.
Mr. Dorman, after a few remarks, proposed—"
we, tha Chartists of Nottingham and its vicinity,
in public meeting assembled, are of opinion that
persecution ever has, and ever will, fail tweep the
spread of democratic principles, and hereby

pledge ourselves to renewed exertions, in order to
make the Charter the law of the land." Mr. O'Con-
nor, in supporting the resolution, made a singular
speech. He spoke very forcibly against persecu-
tion, and professedly in favour of democratic princi-
ples. He, however, said he would do his utmost
to throw out Mr. Gisborne at the next election, be-
cause he voted against till Ten-hours' Factory Bill,
saying he would rather a Tory should represent Not-
tingham, and also urged his followers to vote for
Tories et the municipal elections. He concluded his
oration and immediately left the meeting, being de-
sirous of returning to London that night.—Mr.
Humphries proposed, " That this meeting further
pledges itself never to rest satisfied until Messrs. Frost,
Williams, Jones, Ellis, and our other expatriated
brethren, are returned to their native country."—Mr.
Anthony briefly seconded this proposition, and it was
carried unanimously, after being supported in speeches
from Bairstow and Mr. Anthony.—The meeting was
afterwards addressed by Messrs. Harrison and Lilly.
After business had been concluded and a collection
made, the company enjoyed themselves until a late
hour.—Nottingham Review.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
LEICESTER, AUG. 29.—A dreadful and somewhat
singular accident occurred last evening on the Leicester
and Swannington line, by which a fine young woman,
in her 23d year, met with almost instantaneous death.
The train which leaves Bayworth, a village about ten
miles to the north-west of Leicester, at 6 P.M., arriving
at Leicester at seven, consisted of twenty-six waggons
loaded with coal, and two passenger carriages ; these
last being placed in the centre of the train, thirteen coal
waggons in front, and thirteen behind. This train stopped
at Desford, about seven miles from Leicester, to take up
two passengers, the deceased and an elderly woman
named Danielle, who was with her. They were in the
first compartment of the last carriage. It is supposed
that the sudden jerk caused by the stoppage, fractured
one of the axletrees, for the train had not proceeded
more than a mile and three quarters, when a waggon
was perceived to have broken down. It was dragged on
however, about a hundred yards, when several more of
the axletrees having broken, one of them (probably the
one which first gave way) was forced endways into the
ground between the rails, nearly its whole length, and
the wheel at its other end turning up in a slanting direc-
tion, caused a dead stoppage, the suddenness of which
broke the coupling-chains attaching the engine, which
proceeded a considerable distance by itself, and caused a
tremendous crash. The waggons in front being at a dead
lock, the two passenger carriages were forced up into the
air by the resistless impetus of the thirteen waggons ofcoal
which were behind. There were eleven passengers in the
whole, and it appears nothing less than miraculous that
the number killed should be limited to one only. Some
jumped out ; parts of the carriage had closed together
round the neck of one of the passengers, and he was in
great danger of being strangled, but was timely rescued.
Others were rescued by means of a ladder, and some idea
may be formed of the height to which the devoted pas-
senger carriages were forced up, by the fact that a 12-
round ladder which was at first obtained was found alto-
gether useless, and at length one about double its length
being procured and placed as nearly as possible perpen-
dicular, two passengers, a man and a boy, were extri-
cated from their perilous situation. But the worst re-
mains to be told. The elderly woman whom I have
mentioned, whose husband, a tailor, lives at Leicester,
felt (as she herself expressed it) at first a kind of jerk,
and then another, but more violent than the first, and
thought they probably were 'about to stop the train fur
something, but almost before she had time to think
about the matter, she heard a great crashing nose, and
felt that she ant her companion were being reared up in
the air. Then something pressed her down nearly
double, and she could compare it to nothing but being
ground down by a kind of mill. The pressure was awful.
She expected every moment to be killed, but while in
this situation thought of her companion, and called
to her, but received no answer. She felt for her while
in this horrible condition, and could touch her clothes,
and in two or three minutes (though it seemed an age to
her) she was extricated, sadly bruised, but without hav-
ing any bones broken, The ill-fated girl was extricated
in about ten minutes, but quite dead. They were
riding with their faces to the engine, and while one
escaped comparatively unhurt, the other was completely
jammed in between the coal waggon at her back and the
opposite seat on the front, which pressing across her
chest, produced suffocation, and almost instant death.
Her name was Elizabeth Atkins. Sho was possessed of
some personal attractions, and gained a respectable live-
lihood by dressmaking. She had been ou a visit for ten
days previous at Hugglescote, an adjacent village, and
was returning to her mother's, at Leicester, when the
fatal occurrence took place. At the inquest held the
next day before Mr. Gregory, coroner, at the Rasby-
wharf, after hearing the evidence from which the above
facts are taken, the jury returned a verdict of " Acciden-
tal death," and a deodand of 501. upon the passenger
carriages. The jury expressed their disapprobation of
those carriages being placed in the midst of a coal train,
and strongly recommended that in future they be placed
at the end of the train.
The scene where the accident occurred defies descrip-
tion. The passenger carriages themselves were literally
smashed to atoms, and each side of the line was strewed
with springs, wheels, broken axletrees, broken glass,
&c. The sight, I was informed by an eye-witness, was
truly awful; those who escaped, expecting every mo-
ment, while scrambling away, to be crushed by the wag-
gons of coal, some of which were raised up to a great
height in the air.
It may be but justice to the management of this rail-
way (which was more exclusively projected for traffic)
to state that during the twelve years it has been worked,
not a single accident has occurred, except through the
rashness or carelessness of the sufferers themselves.

WINDSOR, FILIDAY.—CIIANGB OF REGIMENTS.-
The 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards marched
from Windsor to Slough, en route to St. John's-wood
Barracks, this morning, at nine o'clock, under the com-
mand of Colonel Berkeley Drummond, and were relieved
by the Ist battalion, who arrived from the Tower at
noon, commanded by Colonel Moncrieff. The band of
the regiment will remain at Windsor until the depar-
ture of the Court, in about ten days.
COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR SEP-
TEMBEIL—The opening article of this Number furnishes
a rich treat for all lovers of the witty and the humourous.
It is called "Social Piracy," and most amusingly illus-
trates the propensities of " Mr. and Mrs. Hawke, and
the young Hawkes," to make a prey of all their friends
and acquaintances. Rarely have we seen a social
nuisance so admirably exposed. " The Miners, a Story
of the old Combination-laws," is a powerful tale, by the
" Medical Student," which will be perused with addi-

interest at the present moment, when the occur-
