SELECT Vsernx.—At the fortnightly meeting on Tues-
Zday, the Ven. Archdeacon Brooks presided. It appear6t
from the minutes' of the Workhouse 'Committee that an
-investigation 'had been naiae into a charge brought by the
chaphun against Mr. Fleetwood, a Romanist priest visit-
ing the house, of having interfered with a Protestant
patient, and proselytised. Mr. Fleetwood, On being called
before the ecommittee, had stated That he hid, - several
weeks, hefore, "declared The man to'be a Romanist, 'and
wished the pkcedabove his head to be altered,.hat
no attentiou hid been -paid to it. This allegation had
been-inquired into, and-a resolution passed, That; in the
judgment of this comMittee, the Rev. Win. Fleetwood did
not, as -alleged by him; `communicate to the governorany

which included also 'the following -resolution as 'a 'worn-
mendalion :---" Thafrin future the'Roman Catholic paupers
in the Workhouse:be no longer -permitted to attend.religi-
ORS worship in the -town, but that-a room in the relieving
'department of the 'Parish-office-4r provided, whereveligi-
ores -worship may. he'performed -twice upon each Sunday,
Geed Friday, and trenstmas day; and that the -priest for
the time being, Who may have access to the Workhouse,
be permitted to give such religious instruction to the
Roman Catholics as they may -require." He gave .11S the
reason for this, that the governor had reported great
irregularities front the Romanist paupers, whourer4oo in
number, being permitted' each -Sunday to leave the house.
•Thete were frequent
.diseetions, drunkenness, &c. Mr.
Gardner seconded -the maim; when Mr. Hntchimeon,
secs:Wide& by Mr. earne, proposed, as An amendment, that
• tlee'present system be kept up,:bet that a better superin-
tendence,. for those' going to chapel be provided. After
some discussion, the board lined, when Mr. Hntehin-
sores- amendment-was carried by a majority of 14-to 4.
'The -Venerable Chairman saidhe hoped 'and believed that

thoUght'they were blame in -sending -400 people-with

he could say this, that he never• eaw.the least inclination
to disorderamonga them. There-was one observation he
wished:to make, too. He should be-very anxious that they
went-out, instead of having a room of
_their own.: He put
a great eultte upon -community ©f warship, and he thought
sectional worship was:a bad thing. The moral effect limn
the minds in. the -former, was very much greater. The
subject then dropped.—The next buAiness was the appoint-
ment -of 2, rate-book- clerk. Mr. Roberts was elected.—
The fellow-lug appointments were then made :—Dr. Ayrteei
to be assistant enedica officer in the honse ; Peter jones,
gate porter, (there had been seventeen applicants;) -rand

DOGS CO MIITTEE.—At the weekly meeting, on Thurs-
day, Mr. "Darner presided, and there were Present Messrs.
Shand, Berber, Bigham, 13rocklehank, Chaloner, Evans,
Gladstone, Gregson, Keating, Steele, _Holden, Holme,.
Langsdale;Littledale, Lockett, *aleomsen,Alolynettx, Ran-
kin, Robinson, Rounthwaite, and Smith. It was reported
that the Town Council, -"en Wednesday, had re-elected
Messrs. Thomas Royden, -"Robertson Gladstone, Matthew
Gregson, and Thomas Littledale, as members of the- Dock
Committee ; -and that the -following four gentlemen had
_ ply the
vacancies occasioned- •by the annual retirements, namely,
Messrs. J. K. Rounthwaite, Henry Steele, Wm. Healing,
and James Smith.—The Harbour Masters. Sub-cOmmittee
.reperted that they could not reeommend:that.the applica-
tion-of .11.1essrs. Gaion and Co., for a periennent berth for
-Alps to New. York should be .complied with. The same
-committee also reported that they had under consideration
the stfoject of providing a better .situation-for the herring
boats frequenting 6eorge's Basin, and they recommended
the.sultect to be deferred to next spring-, hi consideration
iof thelatenesS of the season. Mr. Lockett remarked that
the season was. eery nearly over, andprobably before spring
a better arrangement would be suggested. Mr. Bigham had
a great objection to see the legs of theledies. After some
further -coneersation the subject dropped. In reference to
an application from -theowners of the Franklin King, -for
shed accommodation at the east quayeef the Watetloo
Dock, the Harbour Masters Sub-committee report -that
they did not think it' advisable to provide a shed there.--
The following report, addreesed to Mr. Mason, was read :--
" Harbourenasters' Office, 30th July, 1853.--Sir,---As in-
structed by the Harbour-master's Sub-committee, -I -re-
paired on board the steamer Sea Nymph, awl saw -the
small engine of three-horse power at work, the original
intention, of which was to pump the.water into the boilers.
It has since been applied to pumping the steamer and the
fire-engine hose The winch at the main hatchway has
also been connected, by: •a. long shaft above the deck, which
is a saving of five or six men, as Well-as increased despatch.
It could as easily doe applied to the-winches at the three
batches, by extending the shaft, as the one, had it power
enough to work them all. It seems admirably adapted
for the purposes intended, and I consider there is no great
risk-of fire arising from working it in the docks so long as
coke is used for fuel.—l fun, sir, your most _obedient servant,
JOHN Genierss, Harbour-rnaster."—The committee
next proceeded to the re-appointment of sub-committees.
—The Chairman explained that the new sub-committees
would not come into office before Thursday next, but it
was thought desirable by Many gentlemen to • re-appoint
at the present meeting.—The following sub-Committees
were then chosen:—Sub-committee on Works: Messrs.-
Shand, Steele, Langsdale, Rankin, Holme, Evans, and
Smith.—Warehouse Management: Messrs. Robinson,
Evans, Holden, Brocklebank., Healing, and Barber.
Marine -Department: Messrs. .Lockett, Tobin, Brockle-
bank, Royden,and Littled.ale.—Harboutemastere: Messrs..
Lockett, . Gregson, -Holden, Malcomson, Chaloner, Rome.
thwaite, and Smith.--:,-Master Porters : .31essre. Robin-
son, Steele, Barber, Malcomson, Gladstone, Bigham, and
Rounthwaite. Finance : Messrs. Molyneux, Rankin,
Healing, Bigham, Chaloner, and Gladstone.—Parliamen-
tary : Messrs. -Rankin, Langsdale, Shand, Gladstone, and
Littledale.-3fr: Gladstone threw out the suggestion that
in any future application to Parliament it might be desir-
able to consider the question of increasing the number
of members of the Dock Committee; He said it seemed '
to him that 24 gentlemen, supposing they devoted a fair
portion' of time to the discharge of their public duties,
were scarcelyfsufficient to deal with the important inte-
rests of the dock estate.—Some conversation followed rela-
tive to a site for salt-water baths, Mr. Gladstone having.
'intimated to the committee that the Town Council had
deferred 'the consideration of this matter until the views
of the-Dock. Committee were ascertained. Ultimately, at
the suggestion of Mr. Gladstone, the matter was referred
t 4 the Committee of Works to report upon.

near the-front centre of the camp, from ' which the whoh

party. Her Majestyaud the royal visitors travelled by
the'South Western "RanWay'froin the lJne Elms Station

Prince Alfred, the Crown Prince of Wurtemberg, and

attended by' he Countess .of Gainsborough, the Hon.
Mary Seymour, the Duke of Wellington, &e. The whole.
of the troops were paraded at a' quarter to eleven, when:
they drew up in line in front of their encampments, in
order to receive their royal mistress. The whOe diviion
fired three-volleys:by regiments, and the fieldhaWries fired
the usual salute. The whole of the illiistrions,visitors,
with the exception of the young princes, alighted from
their carriages on arriving at thercommon4.several horses
being in readiness, they immediately mounted. Her
Majesty rode a beautiful dark brown charger, richly
caparisoned, and, as upon the previous' occasion of her
visit, was attired :in a dark bbie riding habit, with
gold aguelettes and a round riding hat, with small
anilitarypiame of red and white featha,rs. Her Majesty
:looked remarkably well in health; and appeared to have
perfectly recovered from the . effects of her recent
indisposition. Prinee Albert, who wore the uniform of a
field marshal, rode on the left of her Majesty, and the
Crown Prince 'of Wurteniburg 'upon her right. From the
pakilion her Majesty passed down the front of the cavalry;'
draft up on then• parade ground, and returned back by
the same route, each Of the cavalry- bands playing the
national anthem. As the royal visitors were proceeding
along the line, and had larrir.ed opposite the left flank of
of the Scots Greys, the horse. of the Crown Prince of
Wurtemburg swerved, 'and the gallant rider was thrown
from his seat: By the assistance of an aid-de-camp the
prince almost immediately re-indunted, having fortunately
received but little injury. The royal party then passed
along the whole of the infantry lines, the troops saluting
in the usual style, and the. bands playing. Having com-
pleted the inspection they returned to the marquee on the
hill, where her Majesty' and suite disthounted and 'wit-
nessed the proceedings of the day. Prince Albert, accom-
panied by Lord Hardinge, joined Lord Seaton and the
field officers, and rode With them over the field during the
movements of the troops. The arrangements of -the day

the royal party left the pavilion hi three-open barouches,
and returned by the afune route_ as that by which they had.

carriages, escorted :by apprty .of the Life Guards. No
