COURT OF SEWERS.

A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of
Westminster, and part of Middlesex, was held yes-
terday at the Court-house, Greek-street, Soho-
square, J. L. Donaldson, Esq., in the chair.
The Court was occupied during the greater portion
of the day in revising the regulations imperative
upon parties constructing sewers. The details are,
however, uninteresting to general readers.
A communication was received from the Holborn
and Finsbury Commissioners, relative to the further
deepening of the sewerage in the new line of streets
from Long•acre and northwards. They declined
incurring any expense for the increased digging, and
stated that as the sewer now in progress would answer
every present purpose, they would defer any further
consideration of the subject at that time.
The CHAIRMAN suggested that certain of the Com.
missioners should confer with the members of the
Mercers' Company, with a view to get that body to
eGnsider the necessity of an improved drainage on
their estate in and about Long-acre.
The Chairman, Mr. White, and Mr. Willoughby,
were deputed by tl-..e Court for that purpose.
After receiving sundry reforts of surveyors, and
ordering the payment of certain accounts, the Court
adjourned till next Friday.

THE NErsox DISPATCIINS AND LETTERS.—We

We have here two embellishments—one, a portrait
of the hone that won the last Doncaster St. Leger;
and the other, representing a pheasant in the act of
falling to the ground, having been just shot by a
sportsman, who appeats in the back-ground of the
picture, in the midst of a thick copse. This last is a
very spirited engraving, all the details of which are
worked up with great tact. The literary department
of the work is devoted, as usual, to subjects of a sport-

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH.—The Fair Rosamond, 3, arrived
here on Thursday from the West Indies. She is to
be paid off, and remain at Spithead waiting for orders.
The Cornwallis, 72, with the flag of Vice-Admiral
Sir 'William Parker, is daily expected from the East
Indies. It is supposed that she is in the chops of the
channel, and wind bound.
The Lords of the Admiralty have issued directions,
that should the present easterly winds continue,
vessels are to be dispatched from Portsmouth and
Plymouth to cruize in the chops of the channel, for
the purpose of supplying provisions and water to
such homeward-bound ships as may stand in need
of them.

TILE PENELOPE, 22, STEAM FRIGATE, COMMO-
DORE JONES.—This noble, but much abused ship has
been the means of saving the inhabitants of the island
of Ascension from great suffering during the late
scarcity of water. The following is as extract of a
letter from an officer on board the Tortoise at Ascen-
tion, which.will show how admirably the Penelope
behaved, and how much her detractors are in the
wrong :—" Being much in want of water, we
started for St. Helena in tow of the Penelope,
and in a fine style she towed us a distance of upwards
of 700 miles in seven days, against a strong south
east trade wind, a head sea and current, without
straining her in the least. The papers may lend
themselves to party feeling to abuse her as much as
they please, but I will maintain that she is the most
powerful and effective ship in the service, and has
done what steamer never did before. Indeed, it
appears a godsend her being at the island at such a
time, for, without her assistance the good people of
this island stood a chance of being subjected to much
suffering from the want of water. '
A new steam tender, for the use of her Majesty, is
being built by Messrs. Ditchburne and Mare. She is
to be 130 feet long and 20 feet in breadth, and is not
to draw more than six feet water. Her engines are
to be constructed by Messrs. Penn, and will be of 160
horse power.
Tua ALERT, 10, COMMANDER BOSANQUET.—Pri-
vate letters have been received from this ship which
give a perfect refutation to the statement that has
been published by an American skipper whose ship
was boarded and searched by an officer and boat's
crew of the Alert. It appears that the vessel in ques-
tion was supposed, and not without reason, to be en-
gaged in the Aave• trade, and that the search was con-
ducted throughout in the most becoming and proper
spirit, and with the utmost forbearance, notwith-
standing the obstructions offered by the skipper of the

count of age.
PUBLIC BUSINESS.
Mr. HUME wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentle-

ward the estimates ?
Sir R. PEEL said he proposed following the course adopted
during the last session, and would waive the right of proceeding
with Government business, on Government nights, during the
debate.
Mr. HUNIE said he supposed the estimates then would
come on on Monday.
Mr. TRELAWNY postponed till Monday the motion of
which he had given notice for a Select Committee to inquire

BERRY v. coNNor.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a widow, cat..
rying on the business of a farrier at :Newmarket, against thy!
defendant, a gentleman well known' on the race course, and
the owner of several race-horses, to recover 211. lle. 6d. for
shoeing the defendant's horses while they were stationed at
Newmarket., in March 1842.
The defence was, that the work was not
.tione' for
and on defendant's credit, but that the agreement wa
entered into by one Price, the training groom of .the
defendant, on his own credit, and not on the credit of
the defendant, and also that there was an agreement
at that time between Captain Meynell and defendant
that defendant should pay all the expenses of the horses of
Captain Meynell at , the Hippodrome, and that Captain
Meynell should pay all expenses of the defendant's horses
when at Newmarket. Captain Meynell proved this agree-
ment, and that if the work had been done he considered he
was liable to pay the amount, but had not been called on.
In the course of the cause it was stated that in the action
brought by Lord George Bentinck against Mr. Connop to
recover his stakes in the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, imme-
diately after the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench
on Saturday in favour of Mr. Connop, he attended at Tat-
tersall's, and gave notice that he would pay the amowilt of
his stakes, notwithstanding such judgment.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Worledge for the plaintiff; Mr. Erie,
and Mr. Worsley for defendant.
The jury having retired to consider their verdict, after
being absent upwards of a quarter of an hour, returned into
Court, but were requested not to give a verdict, the plaintiff
wishing to withdraw a juror. The defendant immediately
consented and a juror was then withdrawn.
It was intimated by the foreman afterwards, they were
prepared to return a verdict for the plaintiff for the ma
amount claimed.

FOUR SUPPLEMENTS WITH THE " DISPATCH."-
The extraordinary demand for the Dispatch of Sunday last, Feb. 11,
with a Second Supplement, extended to 165,000 impressions, and
affords the Proprietors the gratification of finding that the exertions
they made to furnish their readers with a perfect History of the
great National Trial are fully appreciated. To render the Supplements
to the Dispatch truly acceptable to their patrons, the Proprietors
have been induced, by the length of the proceedings, to alter their
original plan, and instead of presenting Two Supplements, they will
extend it to FOUR, thus rendering the record of this memorable trial
both ample and complete. The Supplements of Feb. 4 and 11 are
still on sale ; but early applications are necessary to ensure the pos-
session of these portions of this invaluable historical register. Orders
for the Dispatch are received by every News Agent and Book-
seller in the kingdom; and by Mr. Wood, at the Dispatch Office,
139, Fleet-street.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN THE RlVER.—Yesterday
an inquest was held before William Carter, Esq., at the Spread
Eagle, Rotherhithe, as to the death of a man unknown, who
was found dead under very remarkable and suspicious cir-
cumstances. Thomas Craddock, a waterman deposed that
on Monday last, as he *aS rowing past the platform at Ro-
therhithe, he perceived the body of a man floating down the
stream, which he immediately got into his boat. He then
discovered that there was a frightful fracture of the right leg,
through the skin of which the bone was protruding. There
was also a bruise on one side side of his face. He had made
every inquiry, but could obtain no clue as to who the de-
ceased was, or by what means he came to his death. Mr.
Gardner, the beadle, said there were no less than five persons
now missing whose bodies are supposed to be in the river, and
though he had inquired on both sides of the river, had not
been successful in getting the slightest information. The
jury returned a verdict-- That the deceased was found
dead in the river, but there was no evidence to show how he
came there, or by what means his death was caused."
STRIKE.—The sailors of South and North Shields
have turned out. The object of the strike is to get an ad-
vance of wages. The present rates of wages are, in the
coal trade, from 3/. 10s. to 3/. 12s. 6d. per voyage, and in the
American and Baltic trade, from 2/. ss. to 2/. I Is. per month.
The wages demanded are 41. for the coal trade, and 31. for
the Baltic. Numerous meetings have been held by the sai-
lors in the Loyal Standard and Good Design Room_s, where
resolutions in favour of the strike were passal.—lVewcastle

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,
26, CORNIIILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Eiripowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit ac.ale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
Very moderate supplies of English Wheat have come to
hand; since Monday. The demand for that article was steady,
and previous rates were firmly supported. Foreign Wheat
moved off freely, and full rates were obtained in every in-
stance. Very little Barley was on show, yet the inquiry for
it was trifling, at late rates. The Malt trade was slow;
while in the value of all other grain, no variation occurred.

Although the supply of beasts was only moderate, we have
to report a very dull inquiry for Beef, and Monday's quota-
tions were barely supported. The numbers of Sheep were
again small, while the sale for them was active, and the prices
had an upward tendency. In Calves very little was doing,
and in some instances the rates were a trifle lower. The Pork
trade was firm, and the currencies were steadily supported.
Milch Cows were held at from 161 to 1915 s each.
