The opening meeting and conversazione of this society for the session of 1866-7 was held lest evening in its MOMS, Conduit-street, Regent-street. Mr. R. W. Bdis, president of the association, took the chair, and the rooms were well filled by a numerous oompaay, of whom a fair proportion were ladies. Among the members and bleeds of the society who we•a present were Professor Kerr, Messrs. Donaldson, Spiers, Christian, W. Cashill, and J. D. Mathews and R. Plumb‘t, the hon. secretaries. Letters of apology for their absence had been receiv•-d from Messrs. A. J. B. Hope, G. G. Scott, T. H. Wyatt, D. Burton, T. R. Smith, and other gentlemen. Several gentlemen were nominated as members of the association. Prizes awarded under the direction of the society, were presented to the following gentlemen—Class of Design, let prize, Mr. W. Lonsdale ; 2nd prise, Mr. J• Jones. Figure Drawing, Mr. Jno. Johnson. Tite prize for the best design of a street elevation, Mr. T. W. Willis. Other prizes offered for designs for a pair of semi-detached dwelling-houses and for sketches from ex. isting buildings bad, in the absence of competition, not been awarded. The President delivered an address, in which he dwelt at considerable length upon the duties and oppor tunities of architects. He sketched the history of archi tecture in England during the last two centuries and a half, and complained rather severely of the manner in which architects had recently been treated by the government in regard to competitions for the erection of public buildings ; especially he impressed upon all young archi tects and students the necessity for earnest, honest, and laborious study, in order to qualify them for the practice of their profession, and to enable them to execute such works as would improve the public taste and connect their names with the art history of their country. Mr. Donaldson and Professor Kerr de livered brief addresses, in which they commended this association to the support of those who were interested in architecture, and referred with satisfaction to the good that it had already accomplished. Mr. Donaldson specially commended some of the drawings and sketches which were exhibited by Mr. Spiers ; and to a certain extent, echoing the remarks of the president, complained of the influence which had recently been allowed to amateurs in the matter of public competitions. After a short interval devoted to the con sumption of tea and coffee a selection of vocal and instrumental music was performed by Diadem. Gilbert, Miss Susannah Cole, and blessrs. Robert Mason, Ralph, Aylward, and A Gilbert, and the proceedings were brought to a close soon after 11 o'clock. CRYSTAL PALACE. —This week's return of the number of visitors to this popular place of resort makes up a grand total of upwards of twenty millions during the eleven years and a half the palace has been open to the public. These numbers are considerably in excess of those attending the three great international exhibitions—Lon don of 1N:11 and 1862, and Paris of 1555. Taking the daily average, it will he found to exceed five thousand per day for the eutire period the palace has been open. The amount of individual enjoyment—mid, to no inconsiderable extent, general instruction—which has resulted to the public from the piojec:ion and completion of the Crystal Palace deserves notice at such a time ; end when we state that according to a moderate estimate more than three millions of money has been disbursed by visitors to it, in admis sions, refreshments, railway travelling, trading, kc., it will be seen that it has taken a steady hold on public esti mation, which twenty years ago it would have been chimerical to anticipate. In celebration of these large numbers a great ft te will be held at the Palace on Monday, when the illumination of the fountains and the display of fireworks promise to excel all former displays, great as they have been. Particular s f ress is laid upon the ten thousand magnesium stars which will be displayed in the final girandole of rockets. Excursions will run from various parts, and as the fireworks will conclude before half-past six, and the Palace remain open lighted up for promenade until 8 o'clock or later, there will be ample time for leisurely return. GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES. —The following additional post-offices will be open on and rafter the 2Uth October for the receipt of proposals for the insurance of lives or the purchase of government an nuities, under the act 27 and 28 Vet., cup. 43 ; and for the receipt of the premiums becoming due to the Post master-General, from time to time, under contracts for the insurance of lives or the purchase of government an nuities, and for the payment of sty sums which shall payable by the Postmaster-General under the said be contracts:— Armagh (Ireland) ; Ranh. lap , (Ireland) ; Bal lynahinch (Lisburn) Ireland ; Portadown (Ireland ) ; Read ing ; Tandragee (Portadown) Ireland. These offices will be open for such purposes during the hours appointed for the transaction of money-order business. A band-bill containing the principal rules of the Government Insurance and Annuity Office and of the Poet-office Savings Banks has been printed for gratuitous distribution, and copies may be obtained at the above-named offices. The measure will, from time to time, be extended to other poet-offices than those named above, and due notice will he given of such extensions. If application be n.ade to any postmaster for the extension of the measure to his office he will at oboe report the oireumatanos to the pearetary. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (seurza's :sr nsaans.)

Mr. Poster, !LP., and Mr. Gilpin, M.P., at the meetings which they recently attended, mae concessions in favour of the prin ciple of the league, and he looked upon the fact as a significant one, showing that the more moderate liberals recognised the national feeling in support of the league. VENICE. THAMES HAVEN PIER. The chairman and directors of the Thames Haven Company (Limited) and numerous invited guests proceeded from Penchurch-street station yesterday mctlun by special train to Thames Raven, to in the works recently completed there. The place is about a down miles below Gravesend, on the opposite shore, and is too insignificant in appearance to attract the attention of the excur sionist sailing down the river. If, however, the expectations of the Thames Haven Company are realized, it will be developed into one of the most important stations on the river. The chief object is to facilitate the transport of cattle frtkm the con tinent to the Metropolitan Cattle-marki3t, and this desirable end is to be achieved bylanding the beasts at Thames Haven, and conveying them at once by the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway to the Islington market. The present system of land ing cattle at Blackwell not only involves risk, and often absolute loss to the ship and stock owners, but, as recent deputations to the Home Secre tary have shown, inflicts increased torture upon the poor brutes driven through the streets, and outrages the feelings of humane passers by, who are compelled to witness the cruelty of the drovers. When the advantages of Thames Haven are better known a considerable Wand passenger traffic is also hat* the works hate been mainly c= 4l. to accommodation for cattle, and the inspection yes terday showed that it was ample and convenient. The new pier is nearly 200 feet long, and so broad that the superficial area amounts to something like 7,000 feet. There are four landing-places con structed, to allow vessels to unload at any portion of the tide ; and the peculiarity of the shore, not withstanding the comparative shortness of the pier, gives 19 feet depth at the end at low water. In connection with the landing-places are improved hoisting cranes, and, tramways by which cattle or goods may be transferred from the hold of the ship to the railway waggons in a few minutes. Close to the shore a slaughter-house has been built, where 50 carcases, in case of necessity, can be dealt with at once. Several dozens of large cattle pens adjoin, each beingprovided with water springing fromawell sunk for the purpose by the company. Seventeen acres of pasture land and some open yards com plete the provision made for cattle. There are sidings communicating with the pens, enabling three trains to be loaded simultaneously. The merits of such a station as this are obvious. In stead of cargoes of cattle lying be-fogged off the marshes higher up the river for hours, and some times days together, they can be taken direct per rail from Thames Haven to the market in an hour and a half. The portion of the voyage most fatal to cattle, and destructive to shipowners, will thus be avoided. From this new pier passengers and goods can be conveyed to Fenchurch-street station in an hour. Vessels can reach Thames Haven in six hours from Boulogne and Calais, and twelve hours from Rotterdam. Both visitors and share holders in the concern were yesterday much pleased with the premises, and the sanguine opinion of all was that the undertaking could not fail to prove of immense advantage to the public, while it paid a handsome per centage to the pro moters. In the evening the company dined at Mr. Lockley's hotel, Gravesend, under the chair manship of Mr. Capper, M.P. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The weekly meeting of the board took place at the offices in Spring-gardens, yesterday ; Sir JOHN Tnwarras, the chairman, presided.

Another report was also brought up from the Finance Committee, recommending that a communication be ad dressed to her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Horns Department, calling attenti , n to the length of time which has elapsed since the county rate for the county of Surrey was revised, and the consequent inequality of the weer ment as compared with the other parts of the metropolis, and suggesting that the attention of the justices for the county of Surrey should be called to the matter, with a view to an early reassessment of the property within that county, and more particularly that part within the metropolitan The motion wee agreed to. A report was brought up from the Works and General Purposes Committee on the question of the concession of the sewage of the southern side of the Thames. The re port detailed various interviews the committee bad bud with Mi. Ellis, whose plan had been favourably received, and it stated that various communications bad been received from him stating that as there had been a panic in the money market he had been unable to raise the money necessary for the prosecution of the scheme. 'livery indulgence had been 'Oven to Mr. Ellis to mature his plans, but as there appeared to be no respect of his being able to go to parliament, the committee recommended that the board should re-advertise for tenders for the concession of the sewage of tbe southern side of the Thames. A letter was received from Mr. Ellis, enclosing bonds for 5,0001., asking fora delay of fourteen days, and stating that at the expiration of that time he should be able to increase the amount to 10,600/. Mr. FREEMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the time was conic when the interests of the rate payers should be consulted, and the indulgences granted to Mr. Ellis should be brought to an end. If they adver tised for fresh tenders Mr. Ellis could again send in his plan, and if he was in a position to carry it out then he would be rather improved than damaged by the coarse pro. Mr. Mr. Coutivins seconded the motion. Mr. WesrEirrnicthourht the delayof fourteen days asked for by Mr. Ellis was only a reasonable request, and he moved an amendment to the effect that the consideration of this subject be deferred for a fortnight. After some discussion, however, the amendment was negatived, and the report of the committee was agreed to by a majority of 24 to a. After some routine business the board adjourned.
