LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1L AMONG the earliest and best promises given by Pie Metropolitan Board of Works at its formation was one, that it would relieve us from the intolerable and increasing nuisance of the breaking up of our streets by the companies which supply us with gas and water. We were fast losing the use of our thoroughfares. A street wan ceasing to be a place of traffic, and becoming a mere bed for receiving the pipes of half a score joint-stock associations. The ordinary locomotive arrangements of the me tropolis were constantly being interrupted at some point or other, and thrown into confusion. ion resolved to catch the omnibus on its accustomed line of travel, and only discovered after half an hour's unaccountable delay that its route was diverted, because such and such a gas company bad taken possession of a particular street ; or you entered the 'bus unauspicionsly, intending to alight at a certain door, and were carried for a similar reason in another direction. With a cab or a brougham you were in just the same difficulty. And in a city where time is money obstructions to free circulation are amongst the heaviest burdens that can be imposed on the sub ject. Another kind of injury, that done to rein dents, and especially to tradesmen, by the stoppage of thoroughfares, is felt by a smaller class, but affects them with a peculiar intensity. Customers, , if not physically blocked out, are effectually re pelled in this way from places of business. Retail trade is conducted for the most part on the as 'gumption, justified by experience, that in these days of competition all the arts of attraction are necessary to gain and keep custom. But to effect an entrance to a shop before which the engineers of gas and water companies have thrown up their earthworks is like getting into a besieged city. It difficult enough for a man, and ladies will not run the gauntlet of a throng of excavators, to be regaled with the emit of newly raised soil, saturated with the pungent leakage of gas pipes. Parishes also sustain great loss from the same cause. As surely as a road is newly made, so surely do the gas and water companies discover that it is necessary immediately to destroy it. Oxford-street was paved not long since at an outlay of more than 24,0001.—a sum which imperfectly represents the real cost of the road—and in three years the car riage way was opened no fewer than 840 times : in 1861, 279 times; in 1862, 264 times; and in 1883, 297 times. The Metropolitan Board of Works, as we have said, promised to abate this nuisance as fast as they could : they would endeavour gradually to give us back our streets and roads for the original purposes of traffic and locomotion. This they pro posed to do by the construction of a sub-way or passage running along and under each thorough fare, large enough to receive the gas and water pipes supplying the houses on both sides, and easily accessible at all times by permanent ap proaches for the purposes of supervision, exten sion, or repair. For the public the immense ad vantage of this arrangement is that it puts an end to the necessity of disturbing the roadway as often as the pipes require inspection, and it is plain also that the gas and water companies themselves must profit by a disposition of the pipes which, while it preserves to them all the use they h►ve ever derived from their occupation of the beds of the streets, saves them the expense of removing tons of earth whenever they want to get at their properi. j .. The Metropolitan Board have carried out their design in the new streets which they have constructed. King-street, Covent garden, and Southwark-street are provided with subways, and it is proposed to construct similar subterranean communications under the Thames Embankment and the new street leading to Jhe Mansion-honae. We gather, however, from a speech made at the meeting of the Board on Saturday that the companies have not shown themselves ready to make use of the facilities offered them. Mr. CARPMAKL said, "The great " water and gas companies had had the earliest " notice of what the Board intended to do. They " had had the parliamentary notices, and yet " never gave the slightest indication of their in " tention not to use the subways after they were " constructed. At present there was nothing to " prevent the companies from breaking up the " streets that the Board had made, and the ques " tion now was whether the Board should have " compulsory powers to compel the companies to " use the subways. He urged the Board to con " tinue the construction of subways, and leave it " to time and public opinion to force the gas and " water companies to use them." This reluctance on the part of the gar and water companies is surprising. We hope that it may be THE EXPREB3„ TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1864. found capable of explanation, and that it is due to temporary and local causes, easy to be removed. It not, the Board of Works will have to ask for compulsory powers. Mr. Caßromi's suggestion that it should be left to time and public opinion to force the companies to use the subways seems mis placed. It is reasonable that the construction of the subways should be a work of time, but not that a public nuisance should be allowed to continue • minute after the means of obviating it have been provided at the public expense. The rights of the public in this matter extend far beyond the ex preasion of opinion. The public is a party to the question between the Board and the companies. It is the constituent of the Board, aid the owner of the streets, and can either moeify or wholly resume, through Parliament, those rights in the thoroughfares which it originally conceded. Should the Board find it necessary to apply for a legisla tive enactment to put a stop to the obstruction of the roadway where • subterranean passage has been provided, they will have the hearty support of the public in their resort to Parliament. 1 Cbt Court.

PRINCE ism). —We (Scotsman) understand that his Royal Highness Prince Alfred is expected to arrive at Floor, Castle, near Kelso, on the 17th hut, on a visit to their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe. It is as yet uncertain whether hew all be p went at the Kelso races, which take place on the 19th and 20th, although it is very likely that he will be ; but the main object of his visit is to enjoy the sport of salmon-angling fora day or two In the Floor, wafer. From his meows last autumn on two dif ferent occasions in the same water, coupled with his prac tice along with the Duke of Roxburgh* in Norway during this past rummer, the Prince may be regarded now as a successful, as he is a keen, angler; and it is to be hoped that the Tweed, which is at present, from the continued drought, in a very low state, and ether unsuitable for angling, will be by the time of his visit in such a condition 1 , as will encore his royal highness some satisfactory sport. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to arrive in Eng7-red from the Cow t nen% on or about the 28th inst.

The Parisian world of letters has lost one of its most distinguished members, Count Horace de Viel-Castel. who died last week. He was a man of great artistic tests and liberal views.

They determined to lee what it was, and knocked at the door of the unsuspecting vocalist, who was no other than M. Mermet, then utterly unknown. On explanation it turned out that what had charmed !Adm.. Stolz was an air from an opera of hie, Le Roi Darid. He was asked to go through it then and there at the piano, and readily complied.

It is rumoured that the Georgia State authorities referred the question of a peaceable settlement to the Confederate governor. Last night Mr. W.

I known him do that some short time ago. He Gould easily have got up from the slain to the framework which •upporte the tank. The top of the tank is about 2i feet from the stairs, and the depth inside is 5 feet. I don't think anyone put him there, and I think it very improbable that he intended to throw himself in.

Alfred Prior, the footman, spoke to having got the de oesaed out of the cistern. Saw the deceased oo the previous evening, and did not notice any change or peculiarity in his mind. He lived on very happy terms with his wife, and he was a very good master.

Latent An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, at the Dolphin Toyer', Hackney, la s t' night, seventies the death from sallutarvatMn of Mr. Jacob Paterson, aged 40 years. It appeared from the strides°, that the deceased gentle man was the son of a magistrate of the county of Essex, and that during the present year he bad exhibited a strong suicidal tendency. Is April last he was arrested for going upon a railway sod lying down at length with his head upon the rails just as the Mein was approaching. While in the Home ef Detention he made inch frequent attempts upon his life that he was prononeced to he insane, and woe removed to Me Pembroke House Lunatic Asylum, in Hack. my. For the last five weeks he resolutely refused to take food, and though he was compelled to swallow some by means of the stomach.putop, be speedily became so reduced that fora mouth past he wee unable to get ant of bed. He died on Monday night from atrophy from starvation, and ' so extreme was the stake of emaciation to which he bad brought himself, that hie body, when viewed by the jury, presented the appearance of a skeleton covered with skin. Mr. Appleton, surgeon said that the deceased, when premed to take food, used to decline on the ground that it wes too expensive for him. He did not say that his object was to Kamm death. Turtle soup, and wine, t&c. were given to him, by force at times, but be speedily bec ame so weak that it was almost impossible to administer the food without danger. It was stated that there vu a anieidal tendency in the deceased's family, a dater of hie having effected self -de - atm ct ion sometime since. The Coroner having summed up . The jury returned a verdict. That the deo/geed being confined as a kinetic of suicidal tendency, died from atrophy, resulting from his ratted to take food ; but whether the said refusal was resorted to as a means of committing suicide the evidence was not sufficient to show."

LATEST INTELLIGICSCL RON& The clandestine journal of the Roman National Committee intimates, in its last number, that the moment of the evacuation of Rome will probably give occasion for a plebiscite to pronounce between the pontifical government and Victor Emmanuel, constitutional King of Italy, and it exhorts all citizens to be prepared, if neoessary, to support their vote by arms. TURIN. Advices from Turin speak more fully of the com pensations which there is said to be an intention of offering to the ancient capital of Italy. They would be—relief to the extent of twelve millions in favour of the proprietors of houses ; also one of ten millions constituting the old debt of the city ; and the reduction of an annual sum of 700,000 fr. of taxes for an indefinite period. Turin would, moreover, have commercial advantages which would make it a kind of free city in the north of Italy. It will, perhaps, have the Court of Caseation, at present at Milan (but this change is doubtful, as it might dissatisfy the Lombard capital). Turin will remain the military capital of Italy, inasmuch as it would have the strongest garrison, 20,000 men being spoken of. THE STATE OF JUTLAND. The Berlingake Tidende of October 4 contains a very distrusting account of the hardships to which the people of Jutland are subjected by the army of occupation. After showing the great interest, commercially and financially, which Denmark must have in a speedy settlement of the matters in dis pute between her and Germany, and the ab surdity, therefore, of supposing that Denmark is throwing any obstacles in the way of an equitable adjustment, the Berlingske Tidendc proceeds to say: The information we receive from Jutland is most &Mitr ing, and it would appear as though the German authorities were striving to make the yoke which they have imposed more intolerable every day to the unfor►unate inhabitants of the province. It is well known that after the armistice the allied powers engaged to keep in Jutland only inch a number of troops as was required by purely military con siderations, yet the army of occupation amounts to between 35,000 and 4005 men, and the cost of their maintenance is nearly 112,000 i. per month. Moreover, by a recent order of General you Falkenstein all the troops have been con centrated in the principal towns of the eastern coast, even in those which were not occupied on the 2nd of August, for the purpose of making them their winter quarters. The rations of moratoria and forage have been so much augmented that it is materially impossible for the people to meet the hairless imposed oo them whilst they have only one or two rooms in their own houses, all the others being given up to German soldiers and officers. But this is not all. Under pretence that the ordinary revenues of the province are inadequate to supply the wants of the army, all the imports from the Danish Wm are subjected to a customs' duty, whilst, at the same time, the exportation of the cattle, butter, and the other agricultural products of Jutland is prohibited. These measures, added to those which were already in force, and which are entirely opposed to the text and spirit of the armistice, are musing the total ruin of the people. The Danish government, ' who feel sensibly for the condition of the Jatlandete, have made representations on their behalf to the route of Berlin and Vienna on the subject of thews severities, which are the more difficult of explanation, u the people of Jutland have not given the military authorities the slightest ground of complaint or disquietude. We can hardly credit the statement of an officious journal of Berlin that there proceedings have been adopted in order to force t►e Danish government to swept financial conditions which ware not within the scope of the preliminaries of peace and which would be fraught with the gravest consequences to Denmark.

Speaking of the Franco- Italian treaty, he said, " It 's not only a benefit for Italy, but still more a triumph of prowess and civilisation. The treaty attacks no part of the national programme, and breaks the last link which united France to our enemies." The marquis, in his speech, indignantly repelled the unworthy rumours of cessions on the part of Italy, and pointed out their absurdity. THE PEACE CONFERENCE. COPENHAGEN, Ocr. 10, 10.4 r.w.

(rlott OUR OWN 00311IN0NDIST.) PARIS, MONDAY Emir's°. _ Without being prepared to affirm that there is any truth in the reports of an alliance between Spain and Austria based upon opposition to the Franco-Italian convention, I cannot help noticing that the French journals " protest too much" against the supposition. The Pays says to-night : " Without giving ourselves the trouble to demon strate the improbability of such an alliance, it is enough for us to remark that the presence of M. Mon at Paris and that of M. Pacheco at Rome make it impossible to suspect the attitude of Spain in regard to the convention." In support of this view it quoted from Madrid journals an ex pression of opinion that men are good liberals and good catholics at the same time, and that the good understanding between Spain and the Emperor Napoleon, "which, so far as compatible with the dignity of Spain," is desirable, cannot be in better hands. This statement—and a rather frail one I think it—is thought worthy of a place in the leading column of the Pays, which has already treated the subject before. M. Calderon Collantes, who was at one time Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs under General O'Donnell, died yesterday in Paris after a long illness. Aocording to the Monde—a great authority in matters eoolesiaatical—the following is the sub stance of the language used by Cardinal Autonelli to France on the subject of the convention : If you hope that the prospect of the evacuation of Rome will change the policy of the Holy See undeceive yoaraelf. If you suppose that the fear of any contisgencies whatso ever will induce the Pontiff-King to make a compromise with what you ax. pleased to , style the " new right" unde ceive yourself still : what we are to-day such we shall be two years barna and always, for we represent the church, and the church is immutable like its Divine Fonder—/Von pOSSUM Again the Monde says : The church may suffer and Arcola, but she will never humiliate benell, never abdicate, and never yield to modern turpitude& The France, which has hitherto affected to believe it to be a matter of course that the Pope would accept the convention, now says it is " stupefied " at hearing this language. The French government, however, well knew from the first that no other would be used, and is prepared for the conse quences. The daughter of K Havin, the director and prin cipal proprietor of the Siecle, was married a few days since at Torigny-sur-Vice, to M. Segaud, the secretary-general of the prefecture of the Seine. K Hausmann honoured the ceremony with his pre sence, and the prefect of the department and many other official personages also attended. This event will greatly strengthen the 0 1-natured rumours of i long standing that the opposition of the Siecle is I now a sham. Nevertheless, there were amidst all the splendour of the wedding some disappointments. The Duke de Morny, much reckoned upon by the father of the bride, did not come ; and the Bishop of Coutanoes, to whose palace M. Havin paid • visit to beg him to come, contented himself with sending M. Hav - i back again in the episcopal carriage. The Gazette de Prance says that K Marin can now scarcely fail to be made a senator. It is, however, open to the Siele to insinuat: —if not to say—that the emperor, by the Italian convention, has come round to its policy, and that it may now consistently support the imperial dynasty. The Bourse is somewhat better, and a good many transactions were done. The closing prices do not differ materially from those of Batu•day. WEATHER REPORT. --•-- TrzaDAY. ocrono ,-(T1113 DAY.) H.

The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of the mem killed by the mead melancholy explosion at Erith was resumed to day beton the coroner for West Kent, Mr. C. J. Cartier. The inquiry took place in the Avenue-h►ll, Erith, which had been fitted up for the occasion and placed at the disposal of the coroner and jury. The same legal gentleman appeared to welch the case in the interest of the different parties affected as on the previa= occasion. The first ankles@ called was Mr. F. A. Tipple, of Entb, s urgeon, who said—The diet body that I saw was Rayner, who misdeed, the second was that of Hubbard, who was lying upon his back away from the ruins of Silver's house, quite insensible. There was a severe fracture on the back part of his skull, and the brain was protruding. He lived about two hours from the time of the accident. I also attended, with Mr. Channel, upon all the other injured people. By the Joey—Rayner was nearer Silver's hone* than his own. Hs was, in fact, about midway between the two. By Mr. Perrin—The boy Lewis is suffering under fracture of the skull, besides other injuries, end his case is a bad one. John Silver, re-called—At the time of the explosion was in the washhouse, pouring out milk. I had been out that morning, but not to the magazine. I belong to the Liverpool company. There was no barge loading or unloading at our magazine that day, but there were two bargee at the Messrs. Hall's magazine, but whether they were loading or unloading I cannot say. When the explosion took plies I was standing at the wash. house door. I could not my from whence the explosion came, becalm it was all dark in a moment, and I felt the bricks tumbling upon me. I had half a pound of gunpowder in the nextroom, and my first thought was that that had exploded ; but before I had time to think I beard a second explosion, and I felt more bricks tumbling on me, but whether I was knocked down or not I do not know. When I climate myself I found that I was lying on the ground among the ruins. Our magazine had not been open at all that day. We generally open it every day to ~ve the place an airing. Our windows are lattice windows and I generally open them a little way, and put a piece of wood in to keep them open. No one is allowed in the magazine when there is no business going on. I know Messrs. Hall's magazine. It is constructed like oars. By Mr. Perm—The heaviest explosion was the second. The last one did not shake me so much u the other, nor did I bear so peat a noise. I was sensible to them all. By the jury. —There was not quite tj tons of powder in our mmaagga~zine, but I cannot tell bow much there was in Mears. Hall'., because, though Mr. Rayner and I were like brothers, we Dever tad each other our business. There was no canister powder in our magazine—only barrel powder. By the Coroner—l should know Rayner's handwriting. A letter being handed to the withal', he said-1 believe that to be his handwriting and his signature. I have seen him write many times. By the Jury—Our magazine was about twenty yards from the wall of the Thames, and that of Messrs. Hall was about the same distance. The distance between the two magazines wu about 70 yards. The Coroner stated that, as far as distance was concerned, it would be all important to have the most accurate in formation, which would be forthcoming. At present be proposed to ascertain, if possible, the exact spot where the explosion took place. This witness would be recalled. Samuel William Fletcher, a boy 13 of age, was next c lied, and said—l got up about half-past 5 o clock on the morons of the explosion, mad had been at the hack of the hones milking the cow. 1 was steadier at the door, and heard some one say "Oh," and I saw • flash come from the barge towards the magazine. I Gould not see the barge, but I new the sails, and saw the flash distinctly. I then felt a blow, and I heard and saw nothing more till I came to myself, wbeo the first words I heard was about somebody (Singleton) breaking his arm. I then noticed Rayner's Magazine Baring. I believe it was the magazine sod not the hones. It was towards Bsyner's magazine that I saw the flash go from the barge. By Mr. Perrin—l had sees the barges the evening before. They were oe the lower or Frith side, one of them being alongside the jetty. By the Jury—Mr. Hubbard was near me when the ex plosain took place, and it was he who cried "Oh" to me. He was in the shed. I did not see him oome from the spot ; be was laying on the ground looking like dead. I saw him before the explosion, but did not notice that be had any pips. Both the barges had sails. We once boiled the kettle for the bargemen in Silver's house. I have seen barges there before, but here never seen fire on board, or smoke coming from them. I have never seen any of the bargemen smoking. Thomas Richardson, the elder, examined—l live at 9, Queen area, Greenwich. lam a fisherman. On the wont ing of the explosion I was sailing sad rowing down the river in a fishing boat. I was about 150 yards from the shore of the river, sad nearly &avast of the upper jetty. There was very little wind. I don't know whether I maw one or two boats lying at the jetty. My little boy said to me, " Father, there are some men at work, I think it mug be getting late." 1 looked towards the barge and law men at work. The next instant, quicker than I can talk, I law • deose cloud of smoke which arose in the direction of the barge. I immediately pushed the boy under the deck, sod then I heard another most dreadful explosion, and • large stone passed just over where the boy bad been sitting, and soother struck me en the side of the head and stunned me for a minute or two. When I came to myself the smoke had cleared away, and I heard cries as of injured and drowning men, and I helped to rescue one. The second shock was the most dreadful, and quite lifted the boat out of the water._ ' By the Jnry—l saw no steamer. I know that they go elose in there sometimes, and of course sparks oeaooselly ey out of the chimney. A steamer parsed after the explo sion took place, my little boy said, bat I did not see it my self. He did not tell me so at the time. Thomas Matthew Richardson—l am the son of the hat witness, and was with him is the boat on the morning of the explosion. I wee looking is the direction of the haw by the powder magazine, and maw men wheeling. I told my father that men were at work, and directly after that I saw a greet black smoke and beard • noise. The smoke wee from the stern of the barge. I wee pushed down into the cabin, and then I heard another shock, and my father and I fell down together. I saw • sinew-steamer on the north-side of the river • moment oe two after I saw the smoke. By Mr. Poland—l mw the smoke before I beard the mime. There were two bargee at the jetty, Gee lyre( serene the bead, and the other alongside. I saw the smoke owl* from the stern of the barge that was lying amen the bead el the jetty. The noise of the explosion was immediately alter I saw the smoke, mid the whole thing blew up. I saw the steamer ooming down with the tide. By the Jury—We wore drifting down very quietly, sad the steamer was riming down pretty fast. It was after I saw my father bleeding that I saw the steamer. By Mr. Morgan—We bad got down the river not quite a mile when I saw the steamer, and we were then near Erltb. Robert Brats, • ballast man on board the ballut lighter No. 32, said—On the monist of the explosion I wee au the bergs and well over to the south side of the river. that being the set of the tide. The wind wu blowing east. Clarke and Grimes were on board with me. What fint drew my &Ideation warn • great flash of light ell round me, sad a shower of bricks, and we were all knocked down. I Wins the barges before and noticed that there wes a boy as board the barge lying across the jetty. the head lyingep the river. It was abreast the jetty at the thee of the exploits. I heard the second ezplosics, which was worse than the first. There wet & terrible lot of smoke. Grimes wet Unshed over the boat sad I caught hold of him by the hair of the heed. He was dreadfully injured. We weal into Erith to est assistaoca I noticed a stainer after the explosion. Bbe was steaming down the river is Harbour. reach, the wind being dead against her, so that au' sparks that came from her mast have blown away from and not towards the magazine. I expected they would lower • bast down and send unistacto, but they did nothing of the sort, but simply passed on. ' By the Jury—l have seen steamers passing down the river within a short distance of the magazine. lam not aware whether there is any nation for them not to pia near ; but I believe there is such a caution at Parasol. J. Clarke, another balluttolin on board the barge, gave precisely the tine evidence.
