Boucimult, in respect of some =LIy in the Haymarket, contracted to be purchased by the New theatre Company (Limited), was for feited or not It appeared that the property was put up for sale, under an order of this court, on the 26th February, 1863, and that by the 1311 condition of sale it wan provided " that, if any purchaser should not pay his purchase•moosy by the Marcia-mentioned time, or any other time which ought be named for that purpose, and in all other respect. perform those comlitious, au order might be made by the judge at ehambers, for the re-sale of the property purchased sad for paymiat by bin. of the deficiency (if say) in the price which might be obtained on such retalir, and of all costa and eipenfes occuioned by such default." On the 15th March, 1 , 63, Hr. Boucicalt was certified to be the pac esetter of the propeity for the sum of 9244/. He then paid the above ineutomal deposit into court ' • but before the parches. woo completed he became bankrupt. His assignees declined to elect to complete hi. contract ; and therefore :he court yesterday ordered the re-WO of the property. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Pemberton now roored for so ender 4ln:hiring that the deposit was forfeited to the vendor. . Mr. 'Wins, Q.C., and Mr. Swanstoo, for the exegeses to bankruptcy of Mr. Boucicault, contended that the con ditions of sale contained no provinoe for the forfeiture of Oho deposit ; that the vendor was to be iodemodied against any outs and expenses that might arise upon the re-isle ; and therefore the deposit wan not forfeited ; except so far ea it might be rec uir,d to meet such costa and expenses. The Vice-Chancellor, after observing upon the distinction between :be case of a penon entering into a instead, and himself being guilty of • default in the com pletion of it, and that of a person so con- Undies, ant afterwards becoming a bankrupt, when the right to complete the contract pawed from Sim to his snipe's., said, the 13th condition in this Mee was . lot intended to apply to the bankruptcy of • par dieser. the payment of a deposit was exacted by way of liseefit to the vendor, and to guarantee to him the fulfilment of the contract. Here there had been • breech of the con trut on the put of Mr. Boucicault, and his assignees had anbacquetitly declined, when they had the right of comple ting, to perform it. Bat if the breach of the contract by Mr. Bom.icault would not as it could not, have entitled Win to reclaim the deposit, how could his assignees, who had &dined to take up his contract, be now entitled to it? IJpoe Ole whole osae his Honour was of opinion that the deposit was forfeited to the vendor, and that being so, time moat be a declaration accordingly. (Before Vior-Chaairallar Sir W. P. Wood.)

This was an action to recover compensation in damages let a serious injury received through the alleged misconduct of the defendants' servanta. The defendants pleaded sot Yr. Serjeant Shea and Mr. Eyre Lloyd were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. (kind were Gomel for the defendant~ The plaintiff was a vooet's traveller, earning about 33a. per week. tin the night of the 17th of March last, about twenty-five minutes to 11 o'clock, be was about to get into the defer:ideate' three-hone omnibus, No. 6,377, near the Cock public-house, Holloway-road, but before he could get fairly on the step the conductor pulled the bell, the omnibus moved on, and the plaintiff wu thrown with violence to the He was picked up by the conducto r an d helped-by Cad. into the omnibus.

The re sult of the accident had been to shorten his left leg nearly Mx inches. The plaintiff identified the conductor of one of the defendants' three-horse omnibuses so the conductor who caused the accident, and be fixed on the 'bus by seeing it arrive at Cloning-aces one night after he had left the lospitaL The defence was that the accident was not canted by the company's 'boa described, but that it moat ham belonged to some other person. It wee stated that the company did not run three-horse 'buses on that part of the road Where the accident was alleged to have occurred. The service from the Archway, Highgate, to Westminster, at that time of night. was by two 'buses—a "Favourite" two-bone No. 6,377, which ran from the Archway to the Cock at Highbury where the passengers and plates were trans ferred from the two-horse to the three-horse 'bus, by which they were conveyed to Westminster. The drivers and cooducton of the two omnibuses num bered 6,377, were called (one being the conductor identified by the plaiotiff), and they swore positively that no accident took place as described, and further, that if the accident was occasioned by either of the defendants' vatic:es, it moat have been by the two-horse 'btu and pot the three lane 'has, which did not go so high as the Cock at High gate The time of the above 'buses did not tally with the Lour spoken to by the plaintiff, for the three-horse 'bus would have arnved at Westminster tear about the time of the accident at Highgate, but then it woo elicited from see of the conductors that several such 'buses were running that night six minute times, sad a strong point was made by the plaintiff', counsel that other drivers and conductors bad not been called. It was also urrd on behalf of the plaintiff that he might have mistaken the exact spot and tins* where and when he got into the 'bus.

Melon t►e Reeorder ) Charles Johnson and Henry Page, two respectable looking men, surreadered in ditchers., of their bail to answer an in dielaseat charging them with unlawfully, maliciously, and feloniously assaultiog one Charles Fanter Jackson, with in teat to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. E. Palmer conducted the prosecution ; and the pri soner Johnson was defended by Mr. Montagu Williams, and the prisoner Page was defended by Mr. Daly. The facts an disclosed by the evidence showed that the prosecutor was a potman in the service of Mr. Brows, the proprietor of the Ranelagh Arms Torero, at Old Ford, and OD the evening in question the prisoners entered his roaster's house, whoa an altercation ensued between them sod the tor which ended in an assault, io th e coons of which prosecutor whic h scded loan assault, in the conies of which tb. prosstor was kicked by Johnson in a most delicate part of his person and severely injured. After the owe had proceeded to its conclusion, The Recorder said that in his opinion the evidence could sot sustain the charge of felony, but there was no doubt the prix rose. had been guilty of an assault, for which he thought they ought to component* the injured party. After a conference betimes the counsel oa both sides this view of themes was acceded to, and an acquittal of the files, taken, the prisoners pleading guilty to a comma samult The Recorder thereupon ordered the prisoners to enter into their personal recognizance in 501. to come up for judgment when called upon, end ordered them to be dis charged. . . . . . It was rumoured in the court that the prisouara had arranged to compensate the prosecutor by the payment of IW. to him. Joseph West, 214, writer, and Susan Farmer, 45, widow, were indicted for burglariously entering the house of Francis George Widdows, and stealing therefrom a irantity of silver plate, wearing apparel, and other article* his proper ty. The jury Acquitted the female prisoner, Farmer, and found the prisoner West Guilty of receiving the property well knowing it to have been stolen. _ _ In answer to inquiries put by the Recorder to the police cams in the use, a singular category of the previous Mier lof the convict West was given. It apposed that out of the last twelve years the prisoner West had been six years in custody. He had been twice convicted of felony, and had undergone first six months, then eighteen mouths, next eighteen months for an agggravated assault on we of the warden of Parkhurst Prison, and lastly he was ben. towed to two yews' imprisonment. The prisoner had also attempted suicide on several occasions, aced on the whole he wee a mart dangerous character. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for the term of six years. James Connor was convicted of receiving a portion of the valuable property stoles from the premises of Mr. Mahood, a jeweller, carrying on badness in Oxford-street, when jewellery to the value of between 4001. and 5001. bad been stolen ; and a prisoner named Western, who had been con victed at a former session for the burglary, having been brought up for sentence, The Recorder said that on a former occasion it bad been proved that the prisoner Western, who wee the ostler of • nab yard, had been very instrumental in aiding bunion in the commission of these offences. With regard to the other prisoner, Connor, he had already been several times con victed for similar offences to that of which be had now been found guilty. The sentence upon Connor was that he be kept in penal servitude for the term of eight years, and the prisoner Western for six years' penal servitude. into the City, It would be a great boos Irr the 'metropolitan districts, for now they allowed no point to be made a starting paint of, and the ammegesses was that the journeys were made more expedltiewely and the traffic not stopped. In such a use sa this be essidgeed it a great hardship upon his man, who bad been a coodoctor for sevestees years, to be toed, so that would be marked on his homes. He had already one endorsement on it by the City magistrates, and if another were marked on it they would take it away, and the consequence would be that the man would be thrown out of employ. In this came it would be particularly bard, as this offence was not of his own seeking altogether, as other omnibuses stopped there, and he, on behalf of the company, was bound to do the same. Mr. llaosteld midi he could not interfere ; it was a moo for the commissioners. SOUTHWARK. Henry Edward Hawkins, cab driver, badge No. 6,144, appeared before Mr. Burcham on recognisance@ for final ex amination, charged with carelessly driving and causing the death a Arm Margaret Ann Strube, of High-street, Borosigh. Mr. Bandung observed that not an atom of evidence had been produced to show that it was an accident. The only pergola who saw anything of it were Ifni. Strube and the lad Ward, and from their testimony he could come to so other oonclusion than that this accident occurred through the carelessness of the prisoner. Under lamina circumstances he bad no alternative but to commit him for trial. He, however, remanded him for the completion of the deposi tions, and accepted bail for his appearance. THAMES. Michael Lyle* a well-known thief, was brought up ma remand before Hr. Partridge, charged with violeotly as saulting Joseph Cu • labourer, sod breaking his lap mmags, Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, said a friend of his was in court, who could identify the prisoner as haring attacked hint end stolen his watch. A polios imitable said the prisoner was also wanted for entering a shop and committiog a robbery therein. Mr. Partridge maid there was only one charge entered on the polioe-abeet before him, and he would hear that first. It'apprAred from the evidence of Cummings that on the 21st of August last be was in Dock-stsest, W hike:Jape!, with a woman named Mary Ann Bryant. "He was not sober and be wen not drank, but only half and half." This deAnitioa was received with some derisive laughter. He thee prooseded to state that three or four men came up and threatened him, and one of them hit him oa the beck of the bead and he fell. While he was on the ground with his leg across the kerbrtone a man jumped os it and broke it. He never saw the man before, and was not certain whether the reoasr was the man or not. He last his cap and hand. p` Biyant, who said she obtained a living by hawking fruit in the streets, and had lived 20 years in one deposed that the prisoner Lynch WS/ the man who knocked down the prosecutor, and then seized him by the hair of the heed.

He got up again. and the prisoner gave him the leg and threw him. I am certain Lynch is the man. Evidence was given that the prisoner was several weeks in custody, sad was eventually released on his own recogni sance to appear and answer the charge. He did not do so, and afterwards committed several daring robberies. He was apprehended on the night of Moriday, the gird alt, by Francis Kelly, 130 H, on • charge of stealing a watch.

HOKE CIRCITIT.—HERT7OIII), Due. 4. (Before Mr. Jading Williams.) The hadmes of the Hertfordshire ageism was proceeded with yesterday, before Mr. Julian Mai m. Ifs tabeadar captains the names of 28 George Hankon, 36, Wiliam Seeks, 17. and William Garrett. Z. were charged with being in pursuit of game in the eight time. armed with guns, upon land belonging to Mr. Christopher Giles Puller, M.P. By a second count of the indictment, the defendant. were charged with en assault upon Daniel Cook, a gamekeeper. Mr. Woollen was counsel for the promotion ; Mr. Codd appeared for the defence. The prosecutor in this care is a magietrate, and one of the members for the ounaV, sad it appeared that in the night of the 22nd of November, Daniel Cook, a gamekeeper in his service, was out watching upon his land at Younpbury, near Were, where Mr. Puller nog" and he returned home about two °clock in the morning. Be very goon afterwards heard the report of a gun, an d'he called to hie son. in-law, a men named Garner, and another keeper, earned King. ad went out is the di rection of • wood called Gardner's Spring, and when he had got about • hundred yards from the wood, he heard the report of another gun, and immediately afterwards he sew the three prisoners come through the hedge from the wood. He laid bold of Hankie, and be called out to his com panions, and Garrett came up and raised • gun and aimed a blow at his head with the butt end of it, and in order to save himself Cook put up both his hands, but this did not prevent him from receiving • severe blow on the head. The third man, Scales, wen behind the other two, and he bad • stick with which he struck the keeper on the leg. Before he wee assaulted he heard some of the party say, " Here's Cooker, let's give it the " and fearing be should receive some serious injury, the kee per ran awe. ,v followed by the three poachers. At a short dietaner lie mine on with King and Garner, and the prisoners upon seeing them ran, away followed by the keepers, sad Cook came up with Hackle, and was about to lay hold of him, when he levelled his gnu at him and told him to steed back or he would shoot him, and he allowed him to go away. The prisoner Garrett was taken into custody on the spot. and be was fraud to have in his possession • powder flask, • shot pouch, six anarea, and a dead rabbit, and it appeared that both he and Hankie were armed with guns, and upon these gnu being examined it was proved that one of them hd recently been dis charged. The gamekeeper (Cook) stated that be had knows Hankie for twenty years, and wag quite sure be was one of the men, and he also stated that be bad known both the other men for some time previous, end he spoke positively to their identity, The penmen Hankie and Scales were taken into custody oa the IMO day. but when they were told that they were charged with night poaching end Bl ueing the keeper, they replied that they knew nothing about it. The police made a search at Hankie's cottage and found • gun, and when this prisoner saw it be said that it had not been fired for six year., hut upon the weapon Ming examined it woo evident that it had been recently discharged, and there was also dirt uponthe muz zle and the barrel. Hankie ' it appeared, also threatened to charge the constable with robbery for tabus his gun away. The jury found the prisoners Harkin and Garrett Guilty, and deguated Scales, as they said they considered hie idea tity had not been sufficiently established. Robert Peel, 18, Mow Cooper, 29, sad Jaws Turner, 21, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with feloniously and maliciously setting Ire to four houses and other property belonging to Henry Boutledge. Mr. W. A. Clark was instructed for the prosecution. The offence to which them prisoners pleaded guilty was one of a very extraordinary character. The prosecutor rem ea in the town of Baldock, and carries on there the business of • grocer and draper, and he wag the proprietor of a considerable block of houses in the town, some of which were used as storehouses, and contained • peat quantity of goods and property of all deseriptions, and the remainder consisted of cottages occupied by labonnA people. Th e premises were all seen to be safe ea the a' tof Saturday, the 26th of September , and about two o' kon the fol lowag morning the neighbourhood was alarmed by a loud explosion in the storehouse, which arose from • quantity of gunpowder that had been deposited there; and • terrible coofilredion ensued, the effect of which was I not only to destroy a very conaiderable cinantity of pro. party but to endanger the lira of the inmates of the cot- tagea. The prisoners were seen at the fire, and it would seem that their conduct created so much suspicion that Leech, the Baldock constable, felt it his duty on the follow ing day to take the prisoner Peel into custody, sod he then made the following extraordinary statement : " Wham we left the Plume of Feathers public-house, Moues Cooper said he should like to see a good fire, and then said, 'Let's o and have one,' sad we then went to the bottom of Norton street, turned to the right into Football's-close, and so bask by the Quaker's Meeting-honee, into Nortowetreet spin, nearly opposite Pond-lane (the spot where the Ire occurred), and Cooper lighted two piens of rag and gave one to Turner and one to me, and Cooper then lifted me and Turner up to get over he wall, into Mr. Routledge's garden. My rat; went out. but Turner neat and shoved his into the eaves of the thatch of one of Mr. Routledge's build ings adjoining his garden. When it was on fire I and Turner got over into Mr. Steed's frier' and so out spin. Cooper then met us and asked bow it was, and we told him it was all right, and we then west into the fields end over the railway and ao bark into Norton-street, and I then went awl helped to get the engine out and left the other behind." The other two prisoners were subsequently apprehended, and Cooper, while in Hertford gird, wrote • letter to an of his relatives, in which he stated that they were guilty, and they were very sorry for what they had dove, but that they were all alike &Batboy must make the beet of it. It appeared that within a very short period property to • very large amount bad been destroyed in the neighbourhood of B.,ldock. under similar circumstances, and withog is zsz assignable motive. Both Cooper and Peel had, it appeased, been previously convicted of felony. Sentence wee deferred. George Wright, 24, a well-dressed, respectable.= youn g roae, who was described as a labourer, was with a similar °fleece. Mr. W. A. Clerk prosecnted. He was found Guilty. Sentence in all them as wee deferred. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—WozczsTER, DEC. 4. (Bodo» Yr. Justin Creteptoe.) _ 7'hortuse Burton was charged with attempting to murder Elizabeth Barnes ma the 28th October last, at Kempsey, in this comity. The case (partly reported yesterday) was remarkable for the establishment of a clear alibi. The prosecutrin in her evidence swore that, on the 28th October, at about 10 o'clock a.m., a man whom she identified as the prisoner, entered her c 'nage and beat her co the head with a stick, fracturing her skull. She is now lying in Worcester In firmary ; but the prisoner (who was apprehended at (ammeter on the sth November) being taken to her bedside she name he was the man who had at tacked her. A witness, named Crump, also swore that he saw the prisoner about that hour on the 28th October, near the proescotrix's cottage. The primmer. however, produced two respectable 'Soren who proved that be was at Cheltenham, 20 miles distant, at the time when the outrage was committed. Mr. Heath, nursery. man, of Cheltenham, proved that on that day the prisoner went to work at 7 o'clock, and in consequence of his having absented himself for two days he dismissed him. Mrs. Brown, Mr. Heath's daughter, saw the prison er a t t en o'clock smoking a pipe at the corner of a street in Chel tenham). The jury thereupon Acquitted the prisoner. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Wkawrcx, Du. 4. Czowx Coma.— (Before Yr. Baron Martin.) Charier Berm 21. and ►ie brother, Henry Beery, 18, two agricultural labourers, were indicted for the wilful murder of Mr. C. Plummer, at Peony Compton, on the Idth of October. Mr. Bennett and the Hon. F. C. Leigh were for the pro ' serutioa • Mr. FiteStephen defended the prisoner. The facts of the case showed that Charles and He nry Beene were walkiag through the geld of Mr. Pl • nephew is a ♦ery tipsy state, when they were annoyed by a terrier dog, wed need abusive Laguna. Mr. Backetta (the nephew) told them he was occupier ,of the field, and parish constable, and that if they repeated the b a d lan g uage he should take them into enstady. This led to an aseault upon Ricketts, who was knocked down. He wised hie uncle's stick. and knocked down Charles Beers, also striking him while he was down—aa unfortuoate act which is some measure led to the catastrophe. Up t o this time Henry Beers had takes no par► intheaffray, acting mther as a peacemaker between his brother and Ricketts. but seeing the former undermost and getting the wont of it he killed in the sesault. Both the Beene were stimulated by drink and acted with brutal violence, getting Ricketts down sad kicking him till he extricated himself from their clutches by a tremendous effort. and, as he said, " made a dash and ran for his life." The first person who went into the field, Ave minutes afterwards, found Mr. Plummer on the ground, the bridge of hie pose broken, his skull smashed is. and his face presenting a horrible picture from blood and dirt. The brothers were thee about six rude off, one of them palling the other away in the direction of North Eud, when they both lived, sad the elsleseses made by Henry Beers apes (Before the Common Serjeant.) Catherine O'Brien, 20, was indicted for feloniously wounding Edward Thompson Downes, with intent to do him some grievous bodily barn. Mr. Lilley prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended. This assault arose out of one of those cases which so fre quently come before the court. It appears that the prose cutor was a seaman, and was in the locality of SL George's is-the-Fast on the night of the 19th November, when he fell in with the prisoner. Being a stranger to the place, be askedher in his innocent simplicity whether she could show him to a lodging. Of course she knew of plenty, and in a few minutes he found himself wifely ensconced to a house in • place called Palmer's Folly. After being there a short time the prosecutor seemed to have discovered that the abode to which he had been led was not so respectable as he could have wished, sod immediately upon making this dia -1 revery be appears to have attempted to leave the place. He asked the prisoner for his jacket, but indeed of giving it to him she handed it over to the landlady. A struggle then took place, and the seaman wee about to run out of the place when he received a violent blow on the back of the neck with some sharp instrument, from the effects of which he lost a great deal of blood. and fainted upon arriving at the station. The medical gentleman who attended him pre it as his opinion that if the instrument, whatever it was, bad gene a hair's breadth Dearer the jugular vein the man would meet probably have lost his life. In defence the prisoner stated that the man had Do money when be went home with her, and be had therefore agreed to give her his jacket, hut when he went away he wanted to take has jacket with him, and then, in a struggle which took place, she certainly did strike him, but it was with the milk-jug. The policeman who took her into custody, stated that he bac! found • large quantity of blood in the room. He had likewise picked up the pieces of the milk jug, which were smeared with blood. The medical gentleman stated th►t the wound might have been inflicted with a jug, although it appeared to him that a knife bad been used. The jury found Lie prisoner Guilty of unlawfully wound ing, and the Common Serjeant sentenced her to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour. In our report of Mordant'', cue yesterday, we inadver tently stated that Mr. Chambers prosecuted. It should have bean " Mr. Montagu" Williams. The business of the court having closed, the court wu adjourned to Monday, the 14th inst. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.)

Little Earl 'treat, and the prisoner took the beam from the stall out• Ode prosecutor's shop, and ran off with it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. A policeman said that he had known the prisoner for years as a thief and a companion of thieves. About two years ago he had aloe months from the Middlesex ;Sessions, sad since be had been released he bad been an expert thief and pickpocket. Mr. Payne sentenced him to be kept in peas! servitude for mix years. The prisoner, when the verdict was given, hurled with almost superhuman force a piece of cut iron at the witness, which fortunately missed him, but smashed a square of glass in one of the large windows, and made an indentation about half an inch in the sash behind. The missile was about two inches and a half long, about as much wide, and half an inch thick, aid weighed about 10 ounces. Had it struck the witness the consequences must have inevitably been most serious, if not of a fatal character. The Unread edge ordered the circumstance to be reported to the visiting =tires of the House of Detention, where the prisoner had n in custody. and a strict investigation will be made as to how a prisoner, sent toe trial from that prison, could have had such an article in his possession, THE POLICE COURT& 11,..RYLEHONL Yesterday morning there were several summonses heard apickst omnibus conductors for stopping longer then was meage for the purpose of " taking up" or " setting down" at the corner of Praed-etreet.

After the punish ment one of the men, named Connor, on being removed to a cell in the hospital for surgical treatment, =abed upon a corporal who was present, and would probably have mangled him, but for the prompt interference of the pro. vast guard on duty. It is stated that the soldier was goaded almost to madness by the fearful agony be experienced, which was the cause of his attacking his comrade, against whom he had no bed feeling. Both me m, os leaving the hcepital, will undergo six months' impri sonment, after which Connor will be tried by court martial for attacking the corporal.

Last night a public alerting of the inhabitants of Woolwich was held at the Towo.ball, to promote the objects of the Society for the Abolition of Flogging in the Army and Navy. The'chair was occupied by Mr. Arnold, and at the commencement of the proceedings the following letter was read from Alderman &lemons, M.P. :—" I regret being unable to attend your meeting. The association for the abolition of flogging hail done much good. Public opinion should be steadily directed to' the subject, till flagging in the army, as a barrack punishment., is altogether got rid of. No one will venture to say that the army and navy are lees efficient than formerly, because flogging in the army and navy has very much wailed. The association must continue its exertions to abolish the cruel punishment, which degrades the sufferer and disgusts all those who have to be present to witness its infliction." Letters were also reed from Lord Ferrooy and others regretting their unavoidable absence from the meeting. Mr. WAllister moved, and Mr. Booth seconded the follow ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted: "That this meeting views with deep abhorrence the system of logging ea still practised in the army and navy, considering it unnecessary, barbarous, and uoreformetorv, and pledges Well to use every legitimate means for its entire abolition." The Rev. T. Tuffield moved the second resolution, "That this meeting deplores the increase of corporal punishment which has recently taken place in the garrison of Woolwich, and trusts that this expression of feeling may lead to its abandonment, and the substitution of punishment more reasonable and effective." He contended at some length that the system of flogging acted in a most injurious manner upon the services of the army and navy, and the spirit and tendency of the 19th century demanded its immediate abolition. It was not only degrading to the man who received that punishment, but to the man who was called upon to witness it. The speaker concluded by referring to various cases of flogging which bad recently occurred at Woolwich, the punishment having been inflicted ter very alight offences. The Rev. J. M'Crea, of St. Jaasee's Church, Plumsteed, seconded the resolution. Major Odder, late of the Indian army, from his own experience of military life, strongly condemned the use of the lash as a means of maintaining discipline. A man ones flogged went on from worse to worse, until he was a disgrace to the service, and he fully believed that the lash was not re quired as a punishment. The resolution was adopted ana -1 nimously. On the motion of Mr. Russell, a memorial to the House of Commons embodying the former resolutions was adopted, sad after a vote of, thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. METROPOLITAN BOARD or WOREB.—The weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday ; Mr. Thwaites in the chair. Mr. Bazalgette, the engineer, brought up his usual monthly report on the progrma of the main drainage works, and the superintendent architect presented a report in reference to the fall of a boom at lslington.green, which, after going into the details of the accident, stated that from a careful consideration of the facta the architect was of opinion that ore:Asste was employed, not only in building the walls, but also in following up the other works, which would necessarily cause a great jar upon the unmet and green brickwork, and that the fault rested with those who had insisted on such improper haste. A letter was read from Mr. Moseley, the district surveyor, in which he attribated the failure to the want of a due sod sufficient settling of the mortar sod cement arising from the state of the atmosphere, the rapidity of the execution of the works, or the vibration of the scaffolding, or perhaps the whole combined. The re port was referrod to the streets and general par ce committee, and the board then adjourned. lrabetract of the accounts of the board for the year end ing March, 1863, was published yesterday.
