THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOT-
LAND.

Dundee, Wednesday, Sept. 11.
The royal cortege was received at Dundee witl
every demonstration of respect, and proceeded at once
escorted by the Scots Greys tirough Cupar Angus
to Dunkeld, where her Majesti remained for a short
period at Grant's Hotel. With the romantic scenery
surrounding this picturesque town her Majesty Wit'
familiar, having been received there by Lord Glen-
lyon the year before last, when visiting Taymoutl
Castle. The royal carriages wertordered shortly before
twelve, and her Majesty having re-entered her cha-
riot cast a long look of astonislment and admiratior+
at the sublime scenery around Birnam Wood, which
is now curtailed of its fair proportion of " leaf\
boughs," which we suppose lave never sprung up
again since they were loppel off and carried to
Dunsinane by Macbeth's oppments. The carriages
then went on to Moulinearn, 'rum whence her Ma-
jesty was escorted by Lioutensnt Phillips, with his
detachment of Scots Greys. The postilions were or-
dered to drive slowly in order tc afford her Majesty and
the Prince an opportunity oi remarking some of the
magnificent objects which burst upon their view at
every turning of the road; on entering the pass
of Ic.illiecrankie, the scene of Claverhouse's exploits
with the battlefield where he closed his usefu
and eventful career, her Majesty ordered the
postillions to walk their horses, and appeared to be
overwhelmed with delight and admiration at
the beauty of the surrounding scenery. The carriages
then drove on slowly to Blair Atholl. It-is expected
that hor Majesty will not leave the mansion during
the afternoon. Lord and Lady Glenlyon have been
invited to join the royal dinner party, which will bt
strictly private.
His Lordship, with Lady Glenlyon, will occupy
the residence of Captain Macduff, his Lordship's
factor, during the sojourn of her Majesty at Blair
Atholl. Captain Macduff nsides in a picturesque
cottage in the grounds of Blair Atholl.
ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT BLAIR
ATHOLL.

We have received the following from our cor-
respondent at Blair Atholl

BLAIR ATROLL, WEDNESDAY, 5 P.M.
Her Majesty arrived here at a quarter past three to-
day, and was received at the principal entrance of the
Castle by a body of Lord Glenlyon's clansmen, at-
tired in the Highland dress, who ran by the side of
the royal carriage from the lodge up to the grand
portico. Her Majesty's arrival was preceded by
two of the royal carriages, containing servants
and baggage, and shortly after three an escort of
Scots Greys, commanded by Captain Griffiths, ap-
peared in sight, together with a travelling chariot
andlour horses, containing her Majesty and Prince
Albert. Her Majesty appeared somewhat pale, but
this may be attributed to the effects arising from the
fatigue of a long journey, which her Majesty has,
perhaps, not been able to support so well as usual on
this occasion. The Prince looked remarkably well,
and appeared to have been but slightly incommoded
by the sea voyage. The travelling chariot, with itr
Royal occupants, was followed by four other vehicles
containing the Princess Royal, Lord Liverpool, Lord
Aberdeen, Lord Charles Wellesley, and the remain-
ing members of her Majesty's suite, including Lord
Glenlyon, who had fallen in with the Royal cortege
shortly after it left Dunkeld.

tators often in a giddy elevation. A park of large
leer, including several royal deer, is quite close to the
,4astle. While ascending Glentilt, there is a carriage
lrive of ten miles, hut a distance of two or three miles
rrom Blair Castle leads within the boundless range
,f the red deer, all which may give an idea of the
sequestered nature of the scene. Leaving Blair Castle
in this, the north .east, direction, for the public road
to Inverness runs within a short distance of the south
side, one may wander through a range of moun-
tainous scenery for forty or fifty miles, or until
reaching the eastern side of the Grampians in Aber-
deen and Forfar shires. The valley of Atholl, in the
vicinity of the Castle, presents the same features as
that around Taymouthi Castle, or indeed the neigh-
bourhood of any great Highland territorial Lord;
the valley and lower elevations all showing manifold
traces of art, enterprise, and wealth—the beautiful
meadows skirted with wood running up from the
bottom of the vale to the higher land, sometimes
topping the lower hills and the dark rugged scene in
the back ground, with one or two lowering mountains
limiting the view, as if nature, in its rude and mag-
nificent domain, still scorned and defied the efforts of
man with all the appliances of art.
As this visit is to be of a quiet, private character,
'it least as far as a Queen can enjoy those privileges,
Lord Glenlyon has endeavoured to impress this feel-
ing on the population in this quarter. No heather
arches are to be seen along the road from Dunkeld,
as at Taymouth two years since, nor is any demon-
stration anticipated beyond a few bonfires on the
heights, and the reception by the 200 Atholl men,
who are fully equipped and drilled for the occasion.
There are halberdiers with Lochaber axes, and buckler
men, as at Dunkeld in 1842, the main body being
armed with the broadsword. Her Majesty's approach
will be telegraphed from Dunkeld, and two small
pieces of artillery, placed on a rising ground, within
200 yards of the Castle, will fire the royal salute. A
few artillery-men have been sent from Leith fort for
this purpose. Several marquees are to be placed on
the lawn for the accommodation of the Highlanders.
But so quiet did everything appear here last night,
and along the road, that had it not been for the sight
of dragoons quartered here and there, and busy clean-
ing their accoutrements, there was little indication
that the Queen of England was to be in this remote
quarter within a few hours. At the inns there was
plenty of accommodation, but this evening the bustle
will be greater. It maybe recollected that the Duke
Buccleuch was five years lessee of Atholl Forest,
which he regularly hunted. His Grace will, there
fore, probably accompany the Prince in the deer
stalking.

Blair Atholl, Half-past Eleven, A.M.
The day continues fine, and crowds of people are
arriving from the neighbouring districts, almost all in
their best native garb. Lord Glenlyon, fully equipped
as a chief, with an attendant in the Highland costume,
has just passed in his travelling chariot, on his way to
meet the royal party.
(From the Fifeshire Journal.)
We have the pleasure of presenting in another
column to our readers, a full report of the gratifying
proceedings which took place on the occasion of her
Majesty's visit to Blair Atha. Her reception, it
will be seen, was most loyal, gallant, and magnificent
—highly creditable to the city of Dundee and its
authorities. We sincerely sympathise with our good
brother of the Dundee Warder in the just indigna-
tion with which he has been filled towards some
of his contemporaries, who have been sneering at
Dundee as a dirty hole, where our
,Queen could not
place her most gracious foot, and 'declaring that she
would never land there, go where she would. The
Perthshire Advertiser declared that she must land at
Perth, the beauty of the fair city being indisputable.
The Aberdeen Banner scouted the very idea of a
Queen of her Majesty's acknowledged good taste
landing anywhere except at Aberdeen. But the
Banner of Ulster (a paper famous for Irish black-
•zuardism, non-intrusion, and blasphemy) beat all
these authorities hollow, and told her Majesty to call
It Dublin—certainly a truly Irish way of getting to
Blair Atholl Our brother the Warder—who is no
fool, but, on the contrary, has a considerable spice
of the devil in him, and can say a wicked thing
smartly enough when he is in an ill-humour (which
be always is)—thus handles his presumptuous Free
Church br.th.r of Ulster :

Dr. Weiss may be consulted daily at Sudbrook Park (Fridays ex-
cepted), when he attends at 23, Sackville-street, Piccadilly, from
Eleven till Pour.

BOTANIC WATER and BEAR'S GREASE.
When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effec-
tual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-
named articles, applied alternately—the botanic water to cleanse the
roots 11-ona scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nou-
risher. If any further evklence was required of the virtues of bear's
grease for renovating and preserving she hair, Mr. Catlin's account of
the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the
North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer.

ROSS ant SONS, 119 and 120, BISHOPSGATE-STREET, who
first introduced the use of bear's g'refu3e into this country, and who fat
and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other
but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances
Are their obtaining a spurious article. 411 vegetable oils applied to
the hair are worse than useless.

On arriving at the principal entrance of the man-
sion, her Majesty was received by Lady Glenlyon,
who was accompanied by the Young Master of Glen-
lyon and Mrs. Home Drummond, her 1-A(-Iy-chip's
mother. Four companies of forty each, consisting of
his Lordship's clansmen, attired in the Highland
dress, were drawn up by the side of the portico,
the pipers, in full Highland costume, greeting her
Majesty with the pibroch; and the effect of the
native melody as it peeled through the glens and
passes in the distance, considerably enhanced the
interest of the scene. The clansmen were commanded
by Lord Glenlyon, assisted by the Major of the
corps, the Hon. James Murray. The first company
was commanded by Captain Drummond, with his
Lieutenant, the Hon. 'W. Drummond ; the second, by
Captain Charles Drummond, with his Lieutenant, Sir
David Dundas; the third, by Oswald of Dunnikier,
with his Lieutenant, Kier of Kindroggan; the fourth,
by Stewart of Urrat, with his Lieutenant, Butter of
Fascaly, the owner of the magnificent mansion which
is situated in one of the most picturesque spots in
Scotland, just before entering the pass of Killiecrankie.
her Majesty appeared much pleased with the mani-
festations of loyalty with which she was greeted; and
after addressing a few remarks to Lady Glenlyon, en-
tered the mansion, accompanied by Prince Albert.
Within a few minutes, however, after the arrival
of the royal party, the Prince came out into the
front of the mansion, accompanied by his noble
host, with Lord Aberdeen, Lord Liverpool,
and Lord Charles Wellesley. His Royal
Highness inspected the Highlanders, keeping his hat.
off as he walked through the ranks, a mark of cour-
tesy which will not be unappreciated by those fine
fellows, and which evidently afforded them no small
gratification.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
LIGHTS ON FALSTERBO.
The following has been received at Lloyd's:—
" Swedish and Norwegian Consulate-General,
"London, Sept. 10, 1844.
" Sir,—l have the honour to communicate to you the
following translation of an ordinance issued by the
Royal Naval Board at Stockholm, on the 13th August
last:—The Royal Navy Board hereby makes known,
for the information of mariners, that in conformity with
an ordinance of the 7th July last
.year, a light ship will
bo placed off Falsterbo Reef, at the end of this or the
beginning of next month. The vessel has two masts,
with the sides painted red, with two large white letters,
F S, on each side, and carries a red flag on the foremast.
During the night the vessel will show two lights, so
placed that the one cannot easily exclude the other from
sight, but they will appear aide by side when seen from
either side of the light vessel, or when seen fore and aft
one light will be close above the other, the highest in
the foretop. These lights will burn from the middle of
September to the Ist of December at such hours as are
fixed by the regulations for the other lights of the
kingdom, and after the last-mentioned date the vessel
will be removed. The light vessel will be moored in Si
fathoms water, and a full minute from the extreme
point of Falsterbo Point (see Admiral Klint's chart),
having Falsterbo Lighthouse N.E. on the compasses,
and Stevenklint's Light on Sjalland appearing W.N.W.
W. on the compass. There will be a large bell on
board, which will be tolled during misty and hazy
weather, to give notice to mariners.
" These lights appear about fifty feet above the level
of the sea, and ought, therefore, to be visible, in clear
weather, at a distance of two German miles or more.
Commanders of vessels wishing to take pilots through
the Fluitchannel, to or passing Malmo, or to Drog-
den, and the places where Danish pilots take
charge of vessels, are informed that there are
five pilots stationed on board, ready to attend, day
and night, when signal is given for this purpose.
The light vessel is moored in such a way that the largest
ship can sail round her without risk in order to obtain
pilot. If the pilot signal is flying at the top, pilots are
always to be had, but the signal will be hauled down
when they are all employed.
" Should there be no other advices, and no ice prevent,
it is intended to replace the vessel on the 15th of
March, near to the same spot.
(Signed) CHARLES TOTTIE.
" To W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary."

The clansmen then marched round before the
Prince headed by the pipers playing the pibroch ;
and then her Majesty appeared at the window, and
seemed much delighted at the picturesque appearance
of her Highland subjects.

All is anxious preparation here, and although the
hills were covered with mist in the morning, and the
atmosphere rather dull and heavy, the day is now
breaking out beautifully. Up to a late hour last
night the Castle was filled with workmen, and in
every direction on the grounds men were seen trim
ming the walks, mending fences, smoothing the
roads, and in short, to use the cockney phrase, put-
ting matters into "apple pye-order." A new en-
trance has been construeb,d for her Majesty nearly
opposite the church, the gate and archway being
entirely of larch ; and on either side a high pali-
sade of the same wood runs for a consider-
able way along the road, the whole having a
simple rustic appearance, in fine keeping with the sur-
rounding plantations. The Castle itself is shorn of
much of the grandeur of former days; from having
been a great feudal keep with buttresses and towers,
which frowned defiance on all around, it has degene-
rated into a substantial mansion cf the last century,
the portion of the ancient building which remains
being lost in the modern innovations. It is still con-
solatory.that there are no pretensions to formal archi-
tecture in the edifice—no attempt either at modern
gothic patchwork, or the more elaborate graceful pro-
portion of the Elizabethan age. The whole presents
a large range of building, the centre a plain right-
angled pile, and the wings, if they can be
so designated, two storied ranges running a long
way from either end, and in opposite directions,
zig-zag to the principal building. From the size of
as contrasted with the Castle, one
these appendages,
would imagine that the dependants hugely outnum-
bered the principals, for they are regular barracks,
which would contain an infantry regiment. Viewed
externally, the impression is, that her Majesty and
the Prince and royal suite will have ample room for
the subordinate part of the household, but will re-
quire to economise their own accommodation. Tay-
mouth Castle seems a palace on the outside, and
Blair Castle a hunting-lodge magnified four-fold;
but the interior of the last, as well as of the first,
contains every appliance of luxury and comfort in
common with Windsor Castle ; and those who have
witnessed the Palace at Ostend, in which her Majesty
and Prince Albert found quarters last year, will not
be disposed to undervalue the capabilities of Blair
Castle.
In regard to the demesnes of Blair Castle—if that
term can apply to the measureless extent of wild and
varied scenery, all falling within the exclusion im-
plied—we can conceive nothing more adapted for
a royal retreat. IVithin two minutes' walk of the
ha'l door is the river Tilt running, or rather strug-
gling, through a rugged, precipitous ravine, the path-
way, cut out of the face of the cliff, placing the spec-

"He thinks Dublin should have obtained the pre •
ference over Dundee, and the selection of the latter
.he must confess, exhibits little good taste so far as
the two ports are concerned. Kingston he knows to
be vastly before Broughty Ferry, and Dublin immea-
iurably preferable to Dundee, in all those adjuncts
that render landing-places or cities agreeable.' Our
Contemporary must confess, however, that Broughty
Ferry and Dundee possess one decided advantage
over Dublin and Kingston, inasmuch as they fire in
the line of the most direct route from Woolwich to
Blair Castle, which the latter are not ; and as that
happens to be the place of her Majesty's destination,
this single property a great deal more than counter-
balances all the adjuncts' of which he boasts."
It is somewhat curious, by the bye, that the whole
of the papers which our brother abuses are Free
Church papers. Such, indeed, is the hateful charac-
ter of this sect that, when they can get no decent
person to ill-use, they fall upon and tear each other
to pieces. We have frequently reproved them for
their viciousness, but they take no heed to our ad-
monitions, nor even benefit by the example of good-
nature, benevolence, and politeness, which we heb-
domadally set before them. In fact, it is the nature
of this people—" Can the Ethiopian," &c. Now,
with regard to Dundee, we have this to say in de-
fence of her Majesty's conduct in going there, that
though internally it is an ill-regulated town, yet the
approach to it from the sea is admirable, and from the
lay most beautiful—insomuch, that the Highlanders,
who see it in this way when they come from Perth,
call it, ix the original language of Ossian, " The
City of Beauty." But if the Queen would see
Dundee In all its glory, let her get up to the beautiful
hills of Fife about Balmerino, and look at it across
the lovely Tay, where it lies like the vision of a city
such as may be met with in a magnificent and happy
dream.

THE WINDSOR, AND ETON HUMANE SOCIETY:-
SWIMMING ♦ND DIVING MATCHES.—A few days since
the members of this Society gave a variety of prizes to
be contended for on the Thames, above Windsor-
bridge, by lads from twelve to sixteen years of age, as
an encouragemeet to induce them to perfect themselves
in the useful knowledge of swimming and diving. The
distances were marked by flags on either side, and in
boats on various parts of the river. The banks were
lined with spectators to witness the several trials of
skill, which were superintended by the Rev. Stephen
Hawtrey, of Eton College. At the conclusion of the
matches, which were admirably contested, the judges
and all those who had contended for the laurels (losers
and winners) proceeded to Porney's school, at Eton,
where the prizes were delivered to the successful com-
petitors by the Rev. S. Hawtrey, who, at the same time,
delivered an excellent address, explaining that the ob-
jects the Windsor and Eton Humane Society has in view
arc that there may not be wanting, in cases of emer-
gency, persons in every way competent to render assis-
tance to their fellow-creatures in the hour of need. The
prizes consisted of the Society's medals for the best
swimmers, divers, &c. ; and other prizes in money.
A " MAN-FACED" BIRD I—At Waiapu, in New
Zealand, the natives speak of a monstrous animal, which
is called a Moa, and which, in general appearance, is
described to resemble an immense domestic cock, with
the difference, however, of its possessing a " face like a
man ;" to live upon air, and to be guarded by two enor-
mous tuataras, who, Argus-like, kept incessant watch
while the moa slept. The Rev. W. Colenso, in the sum-
mer of 1841-2, obtained some mea bones, from which it
is calculated that this extraordinary bird must have mea-
sured in altitude, when alive, at the lowest rate of esti-
mation, from 14 to 16 feet ! Thus, it must, have formed
an enormous feathered monster, well worthy, from its
gigantic size, of being classed with the Megalosaurus of
Buckland, and the Mastodon of Cuvier. A mechanic,
who had been residing at Cloudy Bay, in the Middle
Island, asserted that this bird now existed in the high
hills near Cloudy Bay ; and that one had been seen by
two Americans, who had gone to shoot it ; but were so
petrified with horror when they beheld the monster that
they were utterly unable to fire on it. Truly, this is a
rarer avis in terris.

Tine HARVET.—There are a few scattered plots of
barley left uncut in the neighbourhood of Ashburton,
and it is not yet fit for the sickle. The harvest has
proved most extraordinary, the corn being of a very
superior quality, wall kerned, and has been saved in
prime couditiou in this neighbourhood.—PlymouthJournal.

Dr. John Hunter, Professor of Humanity in St.
Andrew's—he, in the year 1828, vacated the living of
Cults, and settled in that ancient seat of learning—
the city of St. Andrew's. His attention to the ad-
vancement of the pupils placed under his charge was
unceasing; and his devotion to the interests of the
University (in which he also held the office of clerk),
and of the city, and of everything in that historical
locality, could not be surpassed. He lent a helping
hand to the Martyrs Monument, very recently
erected at St. Andrew's. Very few men had greater
versatility of imagination or power of satire ; and
few indeed could commit their overflowing
thoughts more easily to paper, ready for the eve of
the printer and the critic. Not long ago, we heard
Dr. Gillespie himself state, and state with some re-
gret, that many things from his pen were scattered,
if not lost, without preserved duplicates. There is,
however, a vast amounf of his writings, both in poetry
and prose, extant in the magazines of the day, as well
as in the newspaper press of Scotland, particularly in
that of Fife and Dumfries. We have beside us, for
next publication, a poetical communication from Dr.
Gillespie so recent in its date as Monday last. To the
Dumfries Courier he was at one time an occasional con-
tributor ; and his "Parewellto CannyCloseburn"—the

his friends and admirers on the delightful banks of the

grapher will be found to favour the public with the
life and a selection from the works of the individual
whose death we now in sorrow record. Dr. Gil-
lespie
was twice married, his former wife being a
daughter of Dr. Hunter, already mentioned ; and his

COURT OF SEWERS.

Yesterday a Special Meeting of the Court of Sewers
for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of
the county of Middlesex, was held at the office, in
Greek-street, Soho-square, Thomas Leverton Donald-
son, Esq., in the chair.

Mr. HAWKINS, assistant surveyor, read the general
report, ordered by the Court of 31st August, on the
practicability of Mr. John White's plan for sewers of
an oval form, and its eligibility, as compared with
that at present in use. The surveyors stated that
although the form recommended by Mr. White was,
in some respects, superior to that now adopted by the
Court, especially as possessing a greater hydraulic
depth of sewerage and a greater power of resisting
lateral pressure, yet there were almost insuperable
barriers to its common use, and they (the surveyors)
had therefore brought before the notice of the Court
two sections, combining, as they thought, what was
best in the others.
Mr. LESLIE moved that the report then read be
printed, and that the sections be lithographed and laid
upon the table, in order that llon. Commissioners might
have an opportunity of examining and comparing one
with another.

Mr. JOHN WHITE would second the motion, but
he felt that he should be allowed to state his opinion,
in the shape of a report, in order that it also should
come before the Court at the same time, and in the
same form, as the other.
After some remarks upon the subject from the
Chairman and some Hon. Commissioners, it was
agreed that Mr. White should forward his report to
the Chairman, to be printed and discussed with the
others on the following Friday.
The CHAIRMAN stated that a letter had been re-
ceived from the Court of Commissioners for Holborn
and Finsbury, which the Clerk would read.
Mr. linuzzLETT read the communication, which
expressed, that in reference to the notice of the reso-
lution come to by the 'Westminster Court of Sewers,
in the matter of the sewerage in the proposed new
street from St. Giles's to Long-acre, and the further
deepening of the line to suit the purposes of the
Holborn and Finsbury district, they could not be jus-
tified in expending an amount of several hundreds out
of their own district. They regretted the decision to
which the Westminster Court of Sewers had come,
and cited the mode in which other Commissions of the
metropolis—the City of London and the Tower Ham-
lets—were wont to act. They stated that these
Commissions had deepened the sewerage to meet their
views, and had never exacted any part of the expense.
They trusted, therefore, that the Sewers Court fur
Westminster would reconsider the matter, and com-
municate again at an early period.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Holborn and Fins-
bury division had no just reason to complain of the
resolution arrived at by that Court. They had already
given that district the advantage of a level of eight
feet where they at first only wanted five, but when
they afterwards sought an increased depth of five
feet more, then indeed they (the Court of Westmin-
ster) thought, that for their own purposes, and theirs
only, the Holborn and Finsbury district should bear
the expenses of the increased digging. He was of
opinion that it would be illegal for them to expend
the money of the rate-payers for purposes not calcu-
lated to benefit them in the smallest degree; and it
was no argument for them, that if other Commissions
in London had acted illegally, they should do so also.
Captain BIGUE said that the argument might be
advanced by the Holborn and Finsbury district,
" Why do you, who command the outlets to the river,
stultify us in this matter ? It is for the public good,
and not merely for the interests of one division of
the City." He certainly thought it looked like one
Court opposing another, and looked as it' they were
actuated by factious motives. If four Commissions
out of five did not accept money under similar cir-
cumstances, he did not see why that Court should
do so.

The CHAIRMAN denied, in the strongest manner,
that that Court, in acting as they had done, were
influenced by factious motives.
Mr. W. DONALDSON briefly adverted to the corre-
spondence that had taken place between the Commis-
sioners, and denied that the Holborn and Finsbury dis-
trict had had anything to complain of. That Court had
come to the resolution to improve the Charlotte-street
sewerage, although for some years even that might
not be necessary. They did so partly to meet the
wishes of the neighbour district. He was of opinion
that it would be decidedly illegal were that Court to
tax the eastern division of Westminster for the pur-
poses of the Ilolborn and Finsbury district. The ex-
penses of the City of London, in granting their wishes,
was comparatively trifling—very trifling indeed ; but
in their case a very great expense would be thrown
upon the rate-payers, and that, too, for a matter in
which they had not the slightest interest.
The CHAIRMAN had before stated that he thought
such an expenditure of their funds would be quite
illegal, and he would ask the solicitor of the Court
what his opinion was upon the subject.
Mr. SMITII was of opinion that, by the statute,
they could only tax the division for benefits accruing
to themselves. It might be a question of fact whether
that greater depth would be a benefit. Of that he
was not a fitting judge. He had no hesitation in say-
ing that if the surveyor of the Court thought such an
increased depth not required for the purposes of their
own district, that such an expenditure would, for
other purposes, be quite illegal.
The CHAIRMAN suggested that Mr. Smith should
take the opinion of counsel upon the matter.
Capt. BAGuE thought it was absolutely requisite
that he should do so.
Mr. LESLIE was of opinion that they were quite
enabled to come to a decision without troubling coun-
sel upon the subject. He found in the regulation of
the City of London Commission that the Ilolborn and
Finsbury division paid them an annual rental of 1.501.
for the very privileges they were then discussing.
After some further discussion, it was agreed that
counsel should be consulted by Mr. Smith.
The CHAIRMAN said that the next subject for their
consideration was one of very great importance. It
was " the forms of contracts, specifications, and bills
of quantities, with the other steps necessary y for ob-
taining new contracts for works.
The old forms of contract were laid upon the table
by the surveyors.
These were examined in detail, and a few verbal
alterations were agreed to.
Mr. SMITH, the solicitor, said, that before examining
into the sufficiency of the forms, it might be allowed
him to draw their attention to the operation of the
present bond. The old bond of contract was signed by
six Commissioners for the Court generally, but these
gentlemen, some thirteen years ago, took alarm at the
responsibility to which they were subjecting them-
selves, and withdrew in consequence. From that
time the bond was drawn out as at present. An
Hon. Commissioner, on a late Court day, expressed a
doubt that, though the Court were protected by the
' articles of the bond, the contractor was not so, and it

was, thereyre, advanced, that if a contractor failed I
his contract, the bond would not hold good in law.
Legal opinion had been taken on the subject, and it
had affirmed that the bond was good.
Mr. W. DONALDSON thought that counsel's opinion
ought to be taken on the subject. He did not think
the bond was binding upon the contractor.
Mr. SMITH did not think that any six-Hon. Com-
missioners signing the bond in behalf of the Court
would be personally responsible, but he doubted,
after past experience, if any would do so.
Mr. BALDWIN would not hesitate for a moment to
sign it himself. He had no doubt that the Court
would support them.
This question was, however, deferred, and the
Court proceeded with the consideration of the forms
for tender.
A number of items were then sanctioned.
On the question that "12 feet 3-inch yellow second
deals" be allowed to stand part of the form,
Mr. LESLIE said that this was a most important
item. and seeing an Hon. Commissioner (Mr. White)
in l.is place, he would draw his and the Court's atten-
tion to it. When he had told that Court that an

two
memorandums about the prices of wood at the bot-
tom of the old contract. Let them look at these
closely. The statement given was that they had sent
to one of the Commissioners for the prices of wood,
and the prices he had stated were given to the con-
tractors.
Mr. IViterE—l was asked for the market price, and
I gave it. I never saw the article here, and Ido net
know that it was required.
Mr. LESLIE did not attribute any part of this trans-
action to Mr. White, but he must say that a more
abominable fraud was never perpetrated upon the
public or upon any Commission. Of two contractors,
Mr. Bennett put in his tender for deal at 6d. a foot,
and Bird at something higher ; and by the rota bene
already alluded to, they were enabled to get the one
271. a load, and the other 2.51., for this article.
The CHAIRNIAN—The Court was certainly indebted
to Mr. Leslie for the trouble he had taken in examin-
ing into the accounts. The state of thinkr,s he had de-
scribed was certainly wrong, but the question now was,
how did he mean to correct their recurrence for the
future ?
Mr. LESLIE meant to put an end to them in this
way. Let them contract for the worst wood in the
market, and they would be sure to get it.—(Laughter.)
He had heard Mr. White say that Lower-ford white
spruce deal could be had for 14/. a load, ani they
were paying for an article not so fitted for theitli,erks
24/. They had paid their contractor above 3,000/. for
timber, and of that sum it was clear that the public
had been cheated, of 3001. He had found out how it
was so arranged, and he was glad that he had found
it out, for in the first instance he certainly thought
the surveyors were in fault, but he could novr say how
it had occurred. It had been arranged between two
gentlemen—Commissioners they had been of that
Court—he could name them, too, and the manoeuvre
had been going on for thirty years.—(Hear, hear.)
Could they now wonder at his not signing the cheque,
or cautioning other Commissioners against signing it
The CHAIRMAN said it was a very wrong thing,
and what the officers of the Court should have
looked to.
An Hos. CommissioNEit said that the thanks of
the Court were certainly due to Mr. Leslie for his
exertions.

The remaining items were then agreed to, with
some trifling alterations ; but, before the Court
broke up,
Mr. LESLIE said he should wish to call their at-
tention to another circumstance, which might have
escaped their attention, but had not escaped his.
lle found that the contractor, in express contraven-
tion of his contract, was charging and receiving Is. 6d.
for carting away the rubbish.
The CHAIRMAN-Why, my finger is now upon the
contract, where it says that he is to cart away all the
superfluous earth and rubbish at a given price, which
is already allowed. How is it, Mr. Doull, that the
contractor has been paid this sum ?
Mr. DouLL—I thought it was according to the
terms of the contract.

Mr. LESLIE—Mr. Bennett charged it, and Mr.
Douall paid it.—(Laughter.)
The CHAIRMAN—The contractor must ray back
such moneys. Perhaps a notice to such effect will be
entered by Mr. Leslie, and it will be transmitted to
the contractor through the clerk.
Mr. LESLIE moved a resolution to the above effect,
and Mr. Hertzlett was instructed to communicate
with Mr. Bennett accordingly.
The offers of contract were then ordered to be ad-
vertised in the newspapers, and the Court adjourned.

EATH FROM THE PUNCTURE OF A NEEDLE.—
Yesterday Mr. Baker, Deputy-Coroner, held an inquest
at the London Hospital on the body of Edward Platt,
aged 49, a weaver. It appeared by the evidence that
deceased resided at No. 31, Pitt-street, Bethnal-green-
road. He was in remarkably good health. On Frilay
week last deceased observed a small gathering or fester
to riie near the nail of the great toe on his right foot, ;
it being very painful he pricked it with a small needle.
which drew blood. He paid no attention to it at the
time, but in the course of the same evening he was
seized with a violent pain in his throat and chest, which
increased to such an alarming extent that on the follow-
ing Sunday he was obliged to apply for medical advice.
The medical gentleman on observing his symptoms pre-
scribed for him, and recommended his immediate re..
snoval to the hospital, but deceased refused to go until
the Tuesday following. Mr. Self, house-pupil, deposed
that deceased, when admitted, was labouring under lock-
jaw. He was dying when brought in. Opium and other
usual remedies were administered, but he expired within,
one hour afterwards. Witness was of opinion that de-
ceased bad died from tetanus, or lock jaw, brought on
by the puncture of his toe. Verdict in accordance with
the surgeon's testimony.
