SEWERS OF 'WESTMINSTER AND,
PART OF MIDDLESEX.
The following is the entire Plan proposed by Mr. Leslie at
, the meeting of the Board on Tuesday last
Resolved, Ist,—That it is desirable to place the whole de•
partments of the business, under the Westminster Commis-
sion, halo a combined state of the utmost efficiency and economy.
R-so;ved, 2d,—That the present office be united with the
Drawing Clerks' office, by adding the present Committee-mom
to the tact, and opening a communication therewith ; and
that an office-door be opened for the public into Soho-square.
Resolved, 3d,—That it is of the utmost importance to continue
the present system of daily returns, mutually exchanged by the
officers of the Court of Sewers and the contractors, with the ad-
ditions of a return for each district, and of a column in the con-
tractors' dAily return, in which must be specified the charge to
the Commission of .each item, and the total. These daily returns
to be immediately examined, signed by the officers (clerks of
the works and surveyor or assistant surveyor), and forthwith
I entered in the books and accounts of the Commission.
• Resolved, 4th,—That the Surveyors and the clerks of the
works he relieved from any further writing connected with the
preceding daily returns, such .as the weekly abstracts, first
abstract, second ahstraCt,rand examinatinn of quarterly accounts.
Resolver, otb,—That the contractors' daily returns, as
amended, be tae only accounts between the Court and the
contractors. •
Resolved, 6th, —That the contractors' daily returns, verified
by the surveyor end clerks- of the works, shall be so entered
daily in books for each district as to show what works are
done, the particular locality and the cost, thereby rendering
unnecessary the present system of weekly and quarterly abstracts
rnd accounts.
Resolved, 7th,—That the sutveyors and clerks of the works.
I being thus relieved from a great amount of labour, the advan-
tage to the public will be great,' as they will be enabled to
' devor much more time to the personal and-vigilant superin-
tendence of the works'in progress, than they can possibly do
under the present system—and their hours of labour notuitb
standing be materially diminished.
Resolved, Bth,—That the present system as to Petitions for
sewers and drains (v 5....-
Ist. The petition, in the printed form, is filled up and
retained by the Coml.
2d Two lists of the petitions, one for the Chairman,
one for the Court, are made.
3d. After presentation to the Court each petition so
ci,pied, in considerable detail, into the rough Minute
80, k.

4th. Re-written into the Fair Minute Book.
sth. Entered into the Surveyor's Monthly Report.
bth. Re-entered monthly until the work he done, or the
leave of the Court expire).

error which it is desirable to prevent, and that, in ,future, the
petitions, granted at each Court, be consecutively numbered
and entered on the Court Minute-books in the following

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 12.

Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron Rotra and a
Common Jury.)

COPPING V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE PRINCE ALBERT

STEA M-BOAT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover com-
pensation, in damages, from the defendants. It appeared the
plaintiff and the defendant had paid the usual fare for being
taken to Sheerness in the Prince Albert steam-boat. The
commander of the boat, Captain Ingram, having, for some
reason or other, errroneously taken up the idea that the
plaintiff and his friends were pickpockets, which he openly de-
clared them to be, stopped at Gravesend, refusing to take
them to Sheerness, and had the party put on shore. For this
breach of contract the plaintiff brought his action. The de-
fendants paid 31. into Court as a satisfaction.
The case having been proved, the jury found for the plaintiff
—Damages, 501.

MARKET NEWS,-(YESTERDAY)

CORN L:,..CRANGE.-FRIDA .

A very scanty supply of English Wheat has been received up
to our market since Monday, consequently the stands to-day
exhibited but a limited number of samples. Although no great
amount of business was transacted the trade was firm at fully
the late advance in prices. F,reign Wheat was quite as dear,
and previous rates wet e steadily supported. The supplies of
Barley being large, the demand for all, except the finest maiting
parcels, was heavy at late currencies. Malt came sparingly to
hand; but in the present state of the Barley trade we can no-
tice no advance in the quotations. The supply of Oats being
large, the inquiry for that article, as well as Beans, Peas, awl
Flour, was iLactive at barely stationary prices.

Our market exhibited a very scanty supply of Beasts, yet
was fully ad►equate to meet the wants of the buyers. The few
prime Scots, &c., on offer sold steadily at fully Monday's
quot,tions, but otherwise the beef trade ruled heavy. The
numbers of Sheep were again F mall, yet the Mutton trade was
dull, •at unaltered rates. There was only a small supply of
Calves on sale ; prime qualities of Veal sold freely, other kinds
slowly,- at alisut last. week's figures. In Pigs a fair amount of
business was transacted at previous rates. Mulch Cows sold
at from 161 to 1915 s each.

bad stated that the plaintiff was not bound to prove the cause of
the accident, inasmuch as the defendants having the whole con-
trol of the railway, negligence was to be presumed against them
in case of accident, and they were bound to show that the
accident had not been occasioned by any negligence on their
part. The case, had the trial proceeded, rested entirely upon the
assumption that the defendants were the proprietors of the
railway. If it had not proceeded upon that assumption, there
would have been no case to go to the jury. The statement in
the declaration was that the defendants were the proprietors
and owners of a certain railway ; now, that statement could
not have been made against any other of her Majesty's subjects
carrying on the business of carriers. The averment was that
the accident had occurred on the railway of which the defend-
ants were proprietors. It was as proprietors only that the
action had been brought against them, and as such they were
entitled to notice.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—The section says that they shall
be entitled to notice in case of any action brought against them
for anything done or omitted t' be done, in pursuance of the
Act. Now, as at present advised, Ido not see that taking
people into carriages as passengers, driving them negligently,
and breaking their necks, can be called an omission. It is do-
ing something carelessly, not omitting to do, and certainly it is
not anything done in pursuance of the Act. A clause of this
sort ought to be construed very strictly.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL submitted that the 'action had
been brought against the Company for having omitted to keep
the read in proper repair, that that was an omission within the
meaning of the 253 d section of the Act, and that, therefore,
they were entitled to the notice. He therefore submitted that
the rule for a nonsuit must be made absolute.
Mr. SwANN followed on the same side.

The COURT then called upon the Attorney-General to pro-
ceed with the other branch of the argument, but it was ulti-
mately arranged that the argument in that part of the case
should be deferred until to-morrow, as the Solicitor-General
was obliged to leave the Court.

Some of the most striking historical tales which the sea on
has produced, tales not composed of maudlin sensibilities, but
valuable illustrations of the annals and manners of former days;
translations of standard works of French and German authors
by the ablest hands, for " The Mirror" exclusively, have also
within the same period diversified its columns.
The Reviews which have appeared have been free and im-
partial, not merely authors' prefaces and booksellers' puffs,
which indolence and meanness have often been content to
adopt as such.
Engravings of the Heraldic honours of Noble Houses hava
been introduced one in each week. In the accompanying
notices no party spirit has been allowed to enter, and some
memorable scenes have been recalled, which in ordinary Peer-
ages would be sought for in va'in. The valuable assistance of
a Gentleman most intimately acquainted with everything that
relates to Heraldry, and with the history of all the most illus-
ttiriieousserniaems,eswohinEteigalmanpdle,twe,ill in future enable the Conductors
original work for reference.

have unavoidably occurred in their own case, as well as in
other publications. Additional care will be bestowed, so that
interesting facts
drawn from the most authentic sources (in many cases exclu-
sive), relative to the origin of all the great families of the nal ion.

have received the stamp of public approbation—historical
facts, amusing anecdotes, graphic descriptions of remarkable
localities and celebrated edifices, ancient and modern, will sue-

Many advertisers having wished to avail themselves of the
large circulation enjoyed by " The Mirror" in high and re-
spectable families, an additional Half Sheet is weekly appro-
priated to Advertisements, so arranged as to form a Wrapper,
or double Wrapper, without in any way interfering with the
Miscellany.

TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.
At a season like this, when the juvenile folks
Are beginning to count on their holiday jokes;
when numberless glad preparations appear
To welcome the season of Christmas with cheer,
E. MOSES and SON feel inclined to impress
The importance of buying their " juvenile dress."
If parents and guardians wish to be suited
With garments whose value was never disputed ;
If they wish for their youths to be glad in a way
Which makes them look comely, engagmg, and gay,
Let them purchase at once of E. MOSES and SON
Those suits which such marks of approval have won.
The " juvenile dresses" of MOSES are made
In the newest of fashion, with beautiful braid;
The dresses are formed just to suit tender age,
And therofore your children are sure to engage.
You'll not find them made in an eld-fashion'd style,
Vs hich often makes persons with ridicule smile;
Their taste and their elegant neatness have won,
Ten thousand approvals for MOSES and SON.
These garments are made in a manner so firm,
That really we're quite at a loss for a term.
Your children may join in the juvenile sport,
But they'll not hurt their garments, so firmly they're wrought.
Then hasten this season, as thousands have done,
For the juvenile clothing of MOSES and SON.
A new work, entitled "THE COMMERCIAL PHENO.
MENON," with full directions for Self-Measurement, Oil applica-
tion, will be forwarded post free.

DREADFUL DEATH BY FIRS.—On Thursday fore-
noon, a child, five years of age, named William Herring,
whose father is a journeyman cabinet-maker, living in
West•place, Holywell-lane, Shoreditch, was burnt to
death. The panther. it appears, went out in the morn-
ing, leaving the deceased and two younger children shut
into the room occupied by the famfty, at the upper part
of the house, and upon her return, about eleven o,clock,,
she was horror-struck to find the poor child dead, the
clothes being entirely burnt from its person, and the
flesh cor9pletely charred. Fortunately the flames from
the burning clothes of the deceased did not reach the
other children,
