Chronicle, as hoisting, iii its professions, the broadest
flag of friendliness. •
The leading article of the Chronicle, on Saturday,
the 10th instant, commences with what it terms a
frank confession of inability to comprehend the policy,
of the League "in sending candidates for the mere pur-
pose of experiencing a certain defeat at elections." The
Dudley contest only served, as our Contemporary
thinks, to expose the nakedness of the land, and make
apparent the fact, which might not otherwise have
been so clear, how "completely in a minority" were
the conscientious free traders of that constitueacy.
Now, if the leaders of the League had any parti-
cular apprehension. about being ".completely in a mi-
nority, the Anti-Corn-lacy agitation would never
have been commenced and continued; nor any other
movement for obtaining justice from a predominant
class interest. It was the very fact of being in a mi-
nority that rendered agitation necessary, and that
requires its continuance. To transform an electoral
and, through that, a representative minority into a ,
majority, is the v?ry end and aim of our exertions.
We shall not accomplish that by- false appearances.
To acquire a fictitious prestige by only fighting whet*
sure of winning may be clever tactics for a faction,
but is not, the-simple-course of honest men: working
out an honest purpose. Our defeats are the seeds of

future victory. They excite local discussion. They
leave increased knowledge of the subject, more en-
lightened principle, and stimulated zeal, to germinate
in men's minds. They leave the conviction of truth
and justice, which, with deference to our counsellor,
we hold to be a more efficient thing than " the repu-
tation of power" founded upon the dexterous avoid-
ance of collision.
To ascertain, by actual experiment, the fact, as to
such a constituency as that of Dudley, is a portion
of the pledge under which the League has laid itself
to the public. Its course of operation, distinctly
marked out, and not that we remember condemned
by the Chronicle when promulgated, is to appeal to
the constituencies of the kingdom on the free-trade
question. Into that court the cause was carried,
when petitions to Parliament were abandoned. Now,
such a town as Dudley, by the occupations of its
inhabitants, the amount of its population (which is
about 30,000), and the number (600) of its regis-
tered electors, is fairly marked out for a voice in
the verdict asked for by the League from the elec-
tors. We cannot pass it by. We desire not to
blink the truth. Is Dudley for trade or for mono-
poly ? Let the world know its answer. The League
is bound to put the question. For the character of
the reply, the Dudley constituency is responsible.
That reply may not accord with public opinion; it
may have nullified the voices and crushed_the wishes
of their non-voting neighbours, as expressed on the
day of nomination ; but that is the business of the
Dudley-lectors. -They have their consolations—they
have pleasea Lord Ward ; and we wish them joy of
their bargain.
Those who are toiling for truth and justice through-
out the country, should see what they have to con-
tend with. The full extent of difficulty and obstacle
should be before them. Not only should they be
aware of the sixty or seventy close boroughs, com-
pletely under aristocratical and monopolist control ;
as entirely nomination boroughs, as any that existed
in the days of Gatton and Old Sarum ; tut they
must also be made to perceive the amount of un -
due influence over the larger constituencies, the
wide-spreading malignity of corruption and intimi-
dation, the gross ignorance in some cases, and the
base unprincipledness and spontaneous servility in
others, of the electoral system ; and the ever-dis-
turbing power of party spirit. Instead of forgetting,
palliating, or glossing over such elections as those of
Dudley, and yet more, of Birmingham and South
Lancashire, we would fix the gaze of the public
upon them; just as we lead a startled horse up to the
object that annoyed him, and walk him round and
round, till he recovers the alarm. In these chapters
of defeat, free-traders find the texts of their work
and duties. It has long been understood and pro-
claimed that our agitation involves an electoral puri-
fication, the raising of voters' minds to a better con-
ception' of the sacredness of their trust, a diffusion
of knowledge and principle amongst those with
whom political power is deposited ; and who could
ever dream of achieving this task without encounter-
ing, again and again, the, risk of being left at the
poll "completely in the minority ?" And who would
not brave this while the corrective fact remains
unquestionable, that we never are so left in a minority
at a fair open meeting of the people, whether of a
borough or of a county?
The obvious truth is, that the Chronicle Tears we
are damaging the Whigs by these contests. It wants
to sink the League into a section of the Whig party,
not " inclined to pursue its -ciwn particular object,
without co-operation with others." But the League
is so inclined. It exists for that very purpose. A
Whig may be " an open enemy of our cause," not
less than a Tory. Whether a Ministry is to be
" turned out of; or maintained in, office on one single
question," is. no concern of ours. The adoption, by
whomsoever the country may be governed, of a dis-
tinct principle and policy, in commercial matters, is
our object. In causing the defeat, should we chance
to cause it, of that curious animal, a- monopolist Li-
beral, we lose no friend. Nor is it true, as
the chronicle insinuates, that the League has
thrust candidates forward to the injury of
those who were partially with us, as opposed to
candidates who were entirely against us. is either at
Hastings, nor at Exeter, did the free-trade candi-
date prevent "any other kind of Liberal candidate"
from offering himself, and ascertaining his better
chance of success, if such chance existed. The field
was perfectly open. The Whigs ran away, and we
fought. It is rather toa much for them now to cry
, out that their glorious victory was obstructed by our
not running away also.
The article on which we were commenting is not
very erroneously estimated in the assurance of another
of our counsellers, the Morning Herald, that "the
Chronicle • backs its friends of the League in a style
more hostile than we (to abuse whom meetings have
been expressly called), have ever adopted." When
and where these meetings were held is not specified
by our venerable Contemporary. Of course they
have been reported in the journal interested : but
that ensures no very large publicity. How large,
or how limited, the friends of "the speculation" in
office seem averse to letting the world know, as
we are not to be favoured in future with the
usual stamp returns, indicating the number of stamps
bought (whether used or not) by the different
newspapers. However, the fact certainly is, as the
Herald confesses, that the mere " mention" of itself,
and " such newspapers" is generally very " productive
of merriment in the intelligent audience at Covent-
garden," and we may add, in any other intelligent
audience throughout the country.
But our most solicitous counsellor is—who would
believe it ?—the Agricultural Protection Society,
" Richmond, President." A circular from this for-
midable body, with the a'love august signature, de-
scribes the League to be in a " fearful state, and one
requiring the greatest skill to remedy." Such kind-
ness, from such a quarter, quite melts us. We must
take till next week to show our gratitude. We trust
we are not beyond the skill which can grace the
Duke's name with a prize for a thoroughbred
stallion from the judges of the Royal Agricultural
Society by a "roarer" to which his steward after-
wards confesses ownership.
To return to the Morning Chronicle. The writer
wishes us to be one with the Whigs, both in our
object and in the means adopted for its attainment.
That object would then become such as he states it;
the practical result to be, "-the transferring political
power from the aristocratic faction now predominant
to more liberal statesmen," i. e., Lord J. Russell and
his colleagues. Now, for making this the object of
the League, the writer has no better warrant than big
own wishes, in defiance of repeated declarations to the
contrary. On such ground we should confess the
League at fault most grievously. And the admis-
sion would establish a charge of unprincipledness and
deception against its leaders which the whole his-
tory of the agitation rebukes and repels. The writer
knows better. He is aware that what he assumes
to be our end is only his own. He complains of
the " erroneous impression" of the leaders of the
League " that they are going to carry all before
them, merely by the strength of their own
great principle." Why, then, should he affect to
try their conduct by his own little principle ? Why
urge the objection that might equally hai,e been
made to Clarkson in his warfare against the slave
trade, and to the Parliamentary Reformers anterior to
1829 ? Why treat the assertion of a principle, as if
it were only a trick of party policy ? And why mis-
state some facts, and suppress others, to drive free-
traders into the ranks of Whiggery by the penalty of
being deemed impracticables ? A writer who as-
sumes to be so well informed about Hastings and
Exeter should also be aware of the mode in which
most of the late vacancies have occurred, and of the
previous arrangements between the retiring and
succeeding parties. The monopolists, as at Devizes,
Cirencester, Dudley, &c., have chosen their own
opportunity. Yet our " friend" makes the most
of defeat, just to submit the charge of wrong-
headedness if we do not consult the policy of
the Whigs. And there is also a practical mis-
representation in his mode of isolating the
League from the constituencies in which these
gallant, though unsuccessful, efforts were made.
Why, they, these minorities, are the League too, as
much as those of us who, being its members, live and
vote in London or in Manchester. They profess its
principles, aid its funds, and teach its doctrines.
Where has the League fought an electoral battle but
as the ally of its own members upon the spot ? Where
has it not left them the initiative? Where has it not
deferred to their opinion, when decidedly opposed to
putting a candidate in nomination? Is it then for the
Chronicle, or for any party journal, whether Whig or.
Tory, to revive the calumny and cant of last October,
and talk of " strangers whose homes are in Lan-
cashire ?" We thought the citizens of London had
abolished thatnonsense for ever. The Chronicle pro.
fesses to desire our " complete success." Let it help,
then, not by striving to link us to the fallen fortunes
of a beaten party, but by advocating principle pars-
mount to all party ; and secureof eventual s ?cce!s,
not by dexterity and mystification,but by the inevit-
able though progressive enlightenment and determi-
nation of pnblic opinion.—The League.

COURT OF SEWERS.
A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of We't-
minster and part of Middlesex was on Friday held in the
Sewers Court, Greek-street, Soho-square ; J. L. Donald-
son, Esq., in the chair.
The orders of Court on the 2d and 9th of August
were read.
The Court then heard memorials and petitions.
An application was made by the watermen of Temple-
stairs, for leave to be allowed to maintain a floating-pier
at Essex-street outlet. The applicants had received
notice to remove a barge which was stationed there, and
Mr. Dowley, the surveyor to the Commissioners, in-
formed the Court that the order had been unattended to.
A solicitor appeared for the watermen, and stated
among other reasons for non-compliance with the order,
that riots might ensue between the rival claimants to the
landing, and life be endangered in consequence. He
also added that the Navigation Committee had granted
the necessary powers required by the applicants, but
that the forms had not yet been filled up, and the sig-
nature of the Lord Mayor was wanted.
After a short discussion, in which the Chairman,
Captain Bague, R.N., Mr. Willoughby, Mr. Gunter,
and Mr Leslie, took part, it was finally agreed that the
barge should be all Owed to remain until the 6th of Sep-
tember, when they (the watermen) would be again re-
quired to appear before the Court with the perfected
deeds then wanting.
The cases of parties summoned to appear to answer
to charges of il regular drainage and improper construc-
tion of sewers, were then disposed of.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to call the attention of the
Court to certain imputations which had been made
against him, on Friday, the 2d of that month, .by a
Commissioner. If it had been a matter purely personal
he should have acted as on previous occasions—namely,
by passing it over without any consideration. He might
not have the ability that he ought to possess, in order to
fill his situation as Chairman of that Court, but it was
in the ,power of any man to be honest, and where his
personal character was called in question he felt bound
to require an explanation. He had read a report in The
Sun of the 3d of August, where it was stated that when
the question arose of paying the contractor, Mr. Ben,
nett, a cheque of 1,0001., the Commissioner had cautioned
the Court against signing that cheque without due con-
sideration. The Hon. Member proceeded to say that a
gross fraud had been committed—that he was in a posi-
tion to prove all he alleged, and that he would not hesi-
tate to do so. It might appear irregular to call their
attention to any statement appearing in a newspaper,
but they had two records of this assertion, that
of the newspaper alluded to, and the other offi-
cial one, the minutes of the Court. The Com-
missioner said that Bennett had obtained a con-
tract to which he was not entitled, and he questioned
the propriety of signing the cheque without further in-
quiry into the mode by which he had got his contract.
He (the Commissioner) goes on to state, that a fraud
had been committed, and that the Bennetts, father and
son, were relieved from that fraud ; and after some
discussion, of no consequence to this inquiry, he said,
that the three persons he should refer to in his remarks
were, Mr. Donaldson, Mr. Dowley, and Mr. Doull.
Ile regretted that the first was not in Court, but he
would be corrected by the surveyors if he stated what
was incorrect in reference to these transactions. He
(the Chairman) found by a reference to the official
record, that this was in substance, a correct report
of what took place. (The Chairman then read from
the minutes of the August 2.) He (the Chairman) was
extremely sorry that the Hon. Commissioner should
have thought proper to bring forward the matter in the
manner he did ; and he was sorry for this reason, that a
charge of fraud ought to have been brought forward
only after due notice, and then it might have been pro-
perly inquired into. They were bound by the terms of
their contract to pay Mr. Bennett his 1,0004 and there-
fore it was quite unnecessary, on the part of the Hon.
Commissioner, to have brought forward this matter
when he did. The matter might as well have been
brought forward on another day. He thought that the
Hon. Commissionor did not well understand the

and as Mr. Donaldson and Mr. Dowley had referred to
it, it appeared that they were the three great conspirators
who had committed the fraud upon the public. From
the period that he had first the honour of sitting in that
Court he had endeavoured, withoutfavour or partiality, to
discharge his public duties. He did not want to enlist the
prejudices of the Court in his favour. He wanted only the
justice due to every honest man. In 1836, the year after
he had the honour of being called to the chair, the new
contracts were entered into. At that time the surveyor
had been dismissed, and Mr. Doull and a new clerk had
been elected. To these officers was entrusted the task
of filling up the quantities to be tendered for in the new
contracts. The contracts were sent in, and the officers
had to make out the total in the adjoining room. The
matter was then deferred for the consideration of a spe-
cial Court—the bills were sent in, and the Court ac-
cepted that of Bennett. At that time there was an error
in the amount of bricks and in the digging, for it ap-
peared that the quantities for the latter were too small
and the former too large. When the numbers came to
be submitted to the Court, he certainly suggested that
odd numbers should be made even, for the purpope of
expediting the contracts. So far the contracts went, and
it appeared certain that in the way they were made out
the quantity of bricks inserted was enormous. He did
hold, however, that they were not to be held responsible
for the minute details which the officers of the Court
were called on to discharge, and if they changed 150
into 110, it was for them to be called into account for it.
The contract was taken on those quantities. In 1841 a
new contract was ordered to be entered into, and it ap-
peared that the same quantities were taken as on the
former occasion. Some gentlemen suggested that as it
would take two days to cast up the accounts, it would be
desirable to give the same quantiries as at the fdriner
period to the contractors, and so test them. He had
never taken a serious step without submitting it to the
opinion of the Court, and he found that the papers given
out to parties who proposed tendering were given out
after an intermediate meeting of the Court, at which he
had no doubt the subject had received due consideration.
He again admitted the great quantity of bricks and the
small quantity of digging, but was-he-to be held respon
sible for what in truth was the business of the officers ?
As well might he be held responsible, if he had hap•
pened to be in a street where a sewer was in progress of
formation, and something going wrong at the time, it
should be afterward said, " Oh, it was done under the
inspection of the Chairman." And now as he was con-
nected with the " fraud." He could not conceive how
it could attach to him at all, because he must in that case
have made up the numbers, which the officers were to do,
and he must give a chance to one party, when in fact the
same forms were given to all ; and therefore he said
again, that he could not conceive how this charge could
attach to him at all. Any assertion of his own was un-
necessary, because the mere facts as stated could not
carry conviction. The Hon. Commissioner had said that
he was dissatisfied with that Court; he (the Chairman)
would only say, that if the Hon. Commissioner wished
to have the matter heard in any other Court, he would
give him the opportunity of investigating the matter
most thoroughly. He (the Chairman) imagined that
the Hon. Commissioner was acting under a misappre-
hension of the word " fraud," and under a mistaken con-
ception of the facts of the case.

Mr. LESLIE thought that the Chairman had made a
most temperate and proper statement, and if every word
of it were taken down, it would prove his (Mr. Leslie's)
case. The Hon. Gentleman fully bore him out that a
fraud had been committed on the public, and he (Mr.
Leslie' had only said, and he again stated, that the three
parties he found connected with the transaction were the
chairman and the two surveyors. He had never imputed
fraud to Mr. Bennett, because he had nothing at all to
do with the contract. He was very sorry to find that
the Chairman was connected with the contract of 1836,
because the evidence of Mr. Dowling and Mr. Dorell
said that he had had nothing to do with it. His charge
was against every commissioner in that Court, for how
came it that Bennett was receiving from the public
14/. 6s. per cent. more in digging than any other man.
Mr. WILLOUGHBY rose to order. He could not allow
the time of the Court to be wasted by inquiring whether
any other person had committed a fraud. • The question
was, did he (Mr. Leslie) impute fraud to the Chairman?
Did he persevere in that accusation ? The question
was brought forward by the Chairman, and he had a
right to be answered.
Mr. LESLIE said that after that interruption he would
go on with his statement.
The CHAIRMAN would appeal to the honour of the
Hon. Commissioner. If he (the Chairman) understood
rightly, he averred that there had been a fraud com-
mitted on the public. Was he (the Chairman) mixed up
with that fraud ?
Mr. LESLIE had told that Court over and over again
that a fraud had been committed somewhere, and that
the only names
• Mr. Leslie was interrupted by Mr. BROUGHTON, who
said lie could see no object in continuing the discussion.
He would intreat Mr. Leslie either to admit that the
Chairman was no party to a fraud, or at once enter a
notice
investiga uptedon ton ahe p

ut per,
ure day and have the subject thoroughly
After a stormy discussion, during which several reso-
lutions were put, but which either fell to the ground for
want of seconders, or were afterwards withdrawn, the
Chairman, with the sanction of the Court, vacated the
chair, and Mr. Broughton was elected to that office
pro tern.
Mr. LESLIE again made' an attempt to be heard, but
was interrupted, and after a scene of indescribable con-
fusion, which lasted for a considerable time,
It was at last moved by Mr. WILLOUGHBY, and
seconded by Mr. J. WHITE—" That that Court still had
unbcainded confidence in their Chairman, Thomas Lever-
ton Donaldson_".
. •
After some desultory discussion the resolution was
put from the chair, and carried unanimously.
The cow Ras then declared adjourned.
