The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at the office, Spring.. gardens ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair.. THE EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES. The following report was brought no from the finance committee, in reference to- the embankment of the Thames : " Your honourable board on the Bth of August last having referred it to your committee to take steps for raising the funds for carrying out the Thames Embankment Act, they have been in com munication with the commissioners of he r Majesty's Treasury with reference to the approprim.ion of the Thames Embankment and Metropolis I m provement Fund, under the 45th section of the act, and have received from that department a request to- be fur nished with an account of all costs, charges, and expenses incurred by the board in relation to the, act. Your solicitor has, by direction of your committee, procured and laid before them the counsel's feeil, parliamentary agents' charges, and miscellaneonl expenses incurred by your honourable board in connextioT with the measure during its passage through parliament, from which it appears that so far as at present ascertained, the expenses incurred amount to £1,610 4s. 4d. Borings and other works for carrying out the act are now in progress, and with a view to providing for defraying the cost of the same, and meeting the expenses above referred to, your committee recommend that a communica tion be made to the Treasury apprising them of the amount of expenses already incurred, and for the purpose of opening an account at the bank, that the board do under their seal, in pursuance of the 45th section of the Thames Embankment Act, 1862, request to pay v the o erto them commissioners the su her o f M ,c e al o, s o t y o ' o s Treasury on account." • PRICE..... —..4d.

The entrance to No. 1 dock has been deepened and the waterway widened ; but owing to the set of the tide at that spot the dock will never be fit for the reception of any but the smaller class of vessels. In consequence of the dock in its present . state being altogether useless, it has been boarded over and converted into a workshop for the mechanics employed on the Achilles. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. C. T. Leckie to the Leo pard ; H. C. Av Wise, master, to the Colossus, for the Coastguard ; C. T. F. Hodgkinson, midshipman, to the Euryalus ; and J. Briggs, acting second-class assist.-engineer, to the Defence. In answer to Mr. Robinson, The CHAIRMAN said the Thames Embankment Act authorised an expenditure to be incurred by this board, and such expenses were to be defrayed out of the Thames embankment fund.

Mr. RopiNt.:oN said he saw by the model before him that several new streets were proposed in con nexion with the Thames embankment, and he wished to know if those proposed new streets ema nated from this board. The CHAIRMAN said they formed a portion of the scheme recommended by the royal commissioners, and since then sanctioned by Parliament. The model now on the table showed in i t s integrity the scheme as it had been approved by both Houses of Parliament. The recommendation of the Finance Committee was unanimously adopted. THE PROPOSED GARIBALDI 111:,z1E7ING IN TIIE CITY. The sub-committee appointed to arrange the de tails of this meeting met last night. Mr. Richard son, one of the hon. secretaries, reported that the London Tavern could not be obtained for Wednes day next, the day fixed upon. He had received a. large number of letters from members of Parlia ment, clergymen, merchants, bankers, and other gentlemen in the City, men of all parties, and many of whom who had not signed the requisition, all strongly disapproving of the conduct of the Lord Mayor in refusing the use of the Guildhall to the re quisitionists. The majority of these letters contained offers of personal and pecuniary aid to make the meeting at the London Tavern an effective one. It was finally resolved that the meeting should be held on Friday next, the 17th inst., at the London Tavern, at two o'clock, Mr. Western IV ood, M.P., having consented to take the chair ; and that Baron Rothschild, Sir S. Duke, and Mr. R. W. Crawford, the other City members, ehould be invited to take part in the proceedings. It was also arranged that the speakers should be chosen, as far as possible, from City men, so that the meeting might be really, what it professed to be,an expression of the citizens of London. Every precaution has been taken against disturbance. It is said that another set of requisitionists hay their eyes on the Guildhall; for on Wednesday tit& Lord Mayor received an intimation that a requisi - tion might soon be presented to him, asking for the use of the hail for a meeting "to adopt an address to the Queen praying that her Majesty will be pleased to command her Ministers to abstain from urging on the Emperor of France the withdrawal of his troops from Rome, as such withdrawal would, under present circumstances, cause the invasion cf the capital of the dominions of the sovereign pon tiff, the ally of her Majesty." This, of course, ema nates from the Roman Catholics. It is also stated that a communication has been received at the Mansion-house from a Roman Catholic source, to the effect that an organised attempt would bo made to defeat the object of the proposed meeting, and that a serious disturbance might take place, adding that the Irish population in London are in a state of great excitement. 717 E MARSHLAND FLOOD. LYNN, THURSDAY, 11 P.M. It is gratifying to be able to report that the crisis is over, the arrangements which have been made yesterday and to-day having ended in the most com plete success. The Marshland flood, of which so much has been said and written during the last few days, and so many exaggerated reports circulated, is now virtually at an end. For the first time since Saturday last, when the sluice " blew," the tide has to-night been up and gone down again and not one drop of water has gone over. The tide to-night was as high as it has been yet, and, for all that, the banks were high en6uoi and strong enough to keep the tidal waters within a circle, The flood is now virtually at an end. The ar rangements made during the last two days to afford a barrier strong enough to enclose the water, and prevent it from flowing into the land, have been gr , >rAtcot yozsciblo <moray find carried out with *h.. perseverance. Yesterday a most substantial earth dam was constructed by about 740 men and 150 tumbrils, and to-day about 50 carts and nearly the same number of men as on the previous day have made two large banks, each from 250 to 300 feet long and about 30 feet wide at the base. They were made of extraordinary strength, and are pro bably able to stand against almost any tide. There are about 2,700 acres of fen land inundated ; in short, Broad and Marshland Fen. In addition to this there are about 1,200 acres of high land which has been inundated, but there is not more than half this quantity flooded at the present time. The whole extent of inundated land is something less than 4,000 acres, and of that 500 or 600 acres are already drained by means of the Marshland drain. The whole of the water will soon be carried away. The sight at the earth dam to-night by moonlight was a most imposing one. Above a hundred men were kept at work till after the tide had fallen some feet- The Marshland sluice, which is under the care of Mr. A. Saunders, C:E., is being regularly watched, and this is necessary in consequence of the heavy strain there will be on it for some time to come. The greatest praise ought to be bestowed upon all parties concerned in the work during the last two days. The work, which has been successfully accomplished, was truly great, but the men worked with extraordinary energy. FRIDAY. The latest endeavours to exclude the sea water from the Marshland Fen drain by raising the banks from the ruined sluice to the earth dam, 400 yards above, have been so successful that yes terday evening's and this morning's tides made no impression upon the obstacle. As the tides are now decidedly, lessening, the country is relieved from its anxiety for the present moment, and has breathing time to consider what is best to be done for preventing a renewal of the calamity by works of a permanent character. The inundated district, however, especially in Marshland Fen, still presents a most desolate appearance, and in passing along the Wisbeach Railway one sees the water extending on both sides as far as the eye can reach. This will, of course, continue to be the case until time and means are at command to run off the water from the surface of about 4,000 acres of flooded land. Mr. Harding, C.E., who in the crisis just past has been the engineer acting for the Marshland, Smeeth, and Fen Commis sioners, and to whom their success is greatly due, has a confident expectation of devising an outlet for the drainage which shall have all the efficiency of sluices, in cases where navigation is not con cerned, with none of the danger and expense that constantly attend those structures. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN SPAIN. The following is the judgment of the tribunal of Grenada in the case of Teva and Matamoros for propagating Protestant docrines in Spain : Are condemned—Jose Alhama Teva, to nine years' imprisonment, and Manuell Matamoros to eight years' imprisonment, and both are for ever prevented from following the profession of teacher, interdicted from all political offices and rights dur ing the term of their sentence, and condemned to pay a quarter of the expenses each. The books and papers seized will be retained. The other prisoners to the number of 11 are ac quitted. The Correspondencia says:— These men were condemned not because they ' were Protestants, seeing that nobody is punished in Spain for religious opinion, but because they openly, with tongue and pen, excited a propaganda in favour of Protestantism, which is forbidden by the constitution of the State—a constitution which in this respect is in harmony with the most demo cratic institutions which have existed in Spain since 1812. The Siecle, commenting on this, says : That the Protestants of Grenada have been cant demned demned under law we do not doubt ; but wha . in surprises us is, that witch a law should existence in the 19th century in a civilised country, and applied with so much rigour; an d this for one is bour.

Do we not there find a strange inconsistency ? A modern government andan exploded legislation — institutions borrowed from the- 19th century, and a code still redolent of the superstitions of the middle ages. It is not forgotten that Spain made, not long ago, an attempt to take her place among the great powers of Europe. The attempt was unsuccessful. It is fortunate that it was repulsed ; it would have been too painful to have seen seated in the first rank of the council of nations a power which, wit ingly and voluntarily, continues to lower itself to a level with the very last.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. HULL AND HORNSEA. The ceremony of turning the first sod of this railway was performed on Wednesday by Mr. J. A. Wade, the chair man of the company, at Hornsea. The new line will form a junction with the North-Eastern Railway Company's Victoria•dock branch, near Hull, over which the trains will run for about three miles. The length of the Hornsea line will be about 13 miles, but, Including the portion run over the North-Eastern, the total mileage will be over 15. The line is to be laid upon the most approved - method, and it is expected that it will not cost more than £60,000. Messrs. S. and T. Crawshaw are the contractors, the contract being taken within £2OO of the engineer's estimate, and is to be completed and in work by the commencement of next year's season, in July. During the ceremony great demonstra tions of rejoicing were made. It is expected from the importance of the district through which the line will pass, the easy gradients and works, and the light capital cost, that it will prove one of the most remunerative railway undertakings in Yorkshire. TO2'AI, LOSS OF THE MAIL STEAMER CLEOPATRA. The follming are the particulars of the loss of the RoyallVlail screw steamer Cleopatra:— The a boßi ship was totally lost on the bar (entrance to the Sfurboro' River), about 100 miles south of Sierra Leone, on the night of the 19th August, about half fast .nine o'clock. A few minutes pre vious to thehour mentioned land was reported on the starboarc bow, when the course of the steamer was at once filtered; but it proved of no avail, as she struck alhost inintediately afterwards, and al though everyavailable means were used to get the ship off she c ou ld not b e move d from the spot she had struck on. Th e on l y a l terna tive now left was to wait until daylight, as the exact position of the vessel, owin g to t h e d ar k ness, cou ld n ot be correctly ascertained. Alth oug h t h e Cleopatra held fast all night —the engines being kept going about half speed astern, to prevent the ship verging ahead— still every one hid hopes that she would be got off ' in the morning by kedging. Daybreak of the 20th revealed to us o ar t rue pos ition. About 6 a.m. the ship's gig 4as l ower ed in charge of the second officer t t a k e soun dings, and shortly afterwards the T ong b oa t was lowered to receive an an t rs an d ca ble to kedge the ship off. The lon g b oa t w as very nearly being capsized by gettbroadside on to the rollers, and was obliged io be 01414 into smooth water to bail her out. The gig now returned, and with some difficulty the second officeranaged to get on board, but the boat was obliged to leave the ship's side to save her from being stove In. As both boats had now left the ship, and were some distance off, signals were made for their return, but apparently without being observed byithose in the boats. The ship bad been bumping very heavily all the morning, and it was desirable as a last resource that the kedges should be got out. It was therefore agreed that a third boatskould be lowered, in charge of the chief officer, to recal the other two boats. This boat was lowered about 11 a.m. Shortly after wards we were obliged to cut away the fore and main masts to ease the ship. By this time it was evi dent that it would be impossible for any of the boats to return to the ship on account of the heavy breakers alongside and the strong tide running, so that we were now dependent on one boat. The en gines also had now stopped of themselves, the boiler being nearly filled with sand, while the surf broke constantly with tremendous force against the ship. The night of the 20th was spent 'most anxiously by all on board ; and the thumping of the ship on the bar was frightful, and it was apparent that the bar was getting worse every day. The morning of the 21st broke, but no signs of any of the ship's boats. We still agreed to remain on board in the expectation of some assistance from a man-of-war from Sierra Leone. We discovered that during the night we had been driven in towards the shore a considerable distance, and now lay firmly embedded in the sand. The ship was a total. wreck. Several times during the day we saw several people on the beach (about three miles distant), but could not dis cern whether they were white or black. The passen gers generally were more inclined to remain by the ship, in the hopes of some assistance being rendered, rather than land in a place where it was uncertain whether the natives were friendly or hostile, but the afternoon of this day decided our movements, The flood tide and surf combined coming in so heavily it was evident that the ship's stern could not hold to gether much longer. It was determined that the last boat—a life-boat—should be lowered next morning (22d), containing no one but the passengers and a picked crew ; the captain (Delamotte) and the re mainder of the officers and crew agreeing to take to rafts, which were immediately begun to be con structed. During the night the stern partly gave way, and it required every possible exertion, with the aid of sails bung over the stern, to keep the saloon from being flooded. This was, indeed, a most anxious night for all on board. About six a.m. the next morning (22d) the only remaining boat was prepared for the passengers, and in about half an hour afterwards the ladies and children were safely stowed in the places allot ted them, it being previously arranged that the gentlemen should not enter the boat until it was lowered into the water, life lines being all ready for them to lower themselves at a proper opportunity. Eventually the boat was lowered, and every one got safely into her. Shortly after leaving the ship's side she narrowly escaped being swamped, the boat being completely filled with water. However, she was kept afloat by being constantly baled out, and as soon as she reached smooth water was brought to anchor on account of the strong ebb tide. At the commence ment of the flood tide the boat was again got under weigh, and shortly afterwards met one of the traders' boats, into which the ladies and children were put, the gentlemen proceeding in canoes to Telabana Factory, a place about 23 miles from the wreck, where they remained for the night. To return to the wreck. Seeing the boat had got a strong ebb tide, it would be dangerous to launch any rafts; but about one p.m. we launched the first raft, and with some difficulty part of the firemen and nearly all the Kroomen got on to it, one Krooman unfortu nately losing his life in the attempt ; and it was afterwards ascertained on landing that three others were drowned. This was the only raft launched this day. About 3 p.m the stern was completely carried away, and the ship evidently broke in two.about the engine-room, and filled rapidly with water, barely giving us time to get the mails and specie removed. The ship was now full of water, with the excep tion of the f ore compartment, l eav i ng us st ill the fore cabin and f orecast l e for shelter, but, unfortu nately, thi s on l y l asted nntil 10 p.m. when the water began to make in the fore part of the vessel also, and so rapidly that in less than an hour the water nearly reached the main deck. The breakers were now so fearfully heavy that they broke clear over the ship, leaving us in a most uncomfortable position all night, August 23d. They then agreed to abandon the wreck, and about 2 p.m. two rafts were launched, and about 16 persons got upon the largest. Unfortunately it capsized before it left the side of the vessel, and Mr. Webster, the chief en gineer, was drowned. This was not known , however, until the raft reached the land, when the body of Mr. Webster was discovered lashed to one of the timbers. The second raft reached the shore in safety. The captain and eight men remained on board to constrict another, which they made from themizen-mast and some hen coops. The captain had still some hopes of assistance from Sierra Leone to save the mails and specie, having had no communicatio n with the beach since the sh i p had stranded. On the 23d a boat containing Mr. Hanson, lo to come yd off to the ship, ' l3 agent, and a crew o f fi ve men attempted but the boat was swamped by the breakers and all on board perished. anL The captain and the few who remained with him committing themselves to the compelled to abandon t w h e e r s e h o ip n , th a e nd 2d September e r raft arrived in about two hours safely on the beach and proceeded up the river to the factories, where they were andsome most hospitably of received.

The increase in the passenger traffic for the month amounted to £275, but in consequence of the American war there had been a decrease in the iron traffic to the extent of £219, as compared with the corresponding month of last year. RAILWAY ROLLING STOCK. The number of locomotives on railways in the United. Kingdom at the close of last year was 6,156—viz., 4,956 in England and Wales, 848 in Scotland, and 352 in Ireland. At the close of 1860 there were 4,696 engines in use in Eng land and Wales, 781 in Scotland, and 324 in Ireland, — making a total of 5,801, as compared with 6,156 at the close of 1861. The number of passenger carriages, trucks, &c., in use on lines in England and Wales amounted at the close of 1861 to 171,475, as compared with 162,915 at the close of 1860; in Scotland to 31,131 at the close of 1861, as compared with 27,091 at the close of 1860; and in Ireland to 6,363, as compared with 5,644 at the close of 1860-- making a total for the United Kingdom of 208,969 passenger carriages, trucks, &c., at the end of last year, as compared with 195,650 at the close of 1860. The mileage in operation increased from 10,433 miles at the end of 1860 to 10,869 miles at the close of 1861, TRAFFIC RECEIPTS. The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week ending Oct. 4, on 10,485 miles, to £612,664, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 10,186 miles, to £586,378, showing an increase of 299 miles and of £26,286 in the receipts. The gross receipts on the following 14 railways amounted in the aggregate on 7,207 miles, to £484,668, and for the corresponding week of 1861, on 7,006 miles, to £467,822, showing an increasa of 201 miles, and of £16,846 in the receipts. The increase on the Caledonian amounted to £4Bl, on the Great Eastern to £1,070, on the Great Southern and Western to £4BO, on the Great Western to £6,110, on the London and North-Western to £5,136, on the London, Brighton, and South Coast to £3,272, on the London and South-Western to £1,826, on the North British to £433, on the North-Eastern to £1,873, and on the South-Eastern to £3,361; total, £24,042. But from this must deducted £2,231, the decrease on the Great Northern, £2,998 on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1,339 on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, and £626 on the Midland; together, £7,196, leaving the increase, as above, £16,846. The goods and mineral traffic on those lines amounted to £225,745, and for the corresponding week of 1861 to £230,327, showing a decrease of £4,582. The receipts for passengers, parcels, &c., amounted to £258,923, against £237,495, showing an increase of £21,428. The traffic receipts on 64 other lines amounted, on 3,279 miles, to £127,996, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 3,180 miles, to £118,556, showing an increase of 99 miles, and of £9,440 in the receipts. The increase in the traffic of the past week, as compared with the corresponding period of 1861, arises chiefly from the passenger traffic to the International Exhibition. The traffic receipts of the past week show an increase of £1,040 as compared with those of the preceding week, ending the 27th hit. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts.

Before a brewer can obtain a licence (other than the first) a declaration must be made of the quantity of malt and sugar brewed in the year. It is provided that when a license for the sale of beer exceeds £lO, it may be paid in moieties, and where the quantity brewed for which the license was granted is less, the difference to be repaid to the brewer; and when greater he is to be surcharged• Brewers of beer for sale omitting to take out licenses are to be charged with duty, and persons brewing beer for others are to be deemed brewers for the sale of beer. The new duty for the sale of beer to any person who first becomes a not e brewer is 12s. 6d., and the duty where the qua n tity d oes xceed 20 barrels is to be the same.

An order has been received at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, from the Horse Guards directing Col. Harness, C. 8., director of the establishment, to select a number of non-commissioned officers and men from the topo graphical and survey schools to proceed to Ports mouth, for the purpose of making a series of surveys at Portsdown-hill in connection with the erection of the fortifications in accordance with the Defence Act. Major-General F. W. Hamilton, C. 8., late of the Grenadier Guards, has been appointed Vice-Presi dent of the Council of Military Education in the place of Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, appointed controller of the household of the Prince of Wales. His ap pointmentery dates m +ha lat inst.

The Curacoa steam sloop was brought down the harbour and placed in the steam basin at Ports mouth yesterday, for the purpose of being surveyed preparatory to her being brought forward for com mission. The Enchantress, paddlewheel despatch vessel, in No. 7 Dock at Portsmouth, is ordered to have her copper completed with all despatch, so as to be taken out of dock by the 13th. The Himalaya steam troopship, Capt. Lacy, is ordered from Woolwich to Portsmouth. On her arrival at the latter port she will be taken into No. 10 dock for examination, and to have her repairs completed. The Egmont, recently converted into a storeship by Messrs. White, of Cowes, has been removed to Portsmouth and taken into the steam•basin for the purpose of being masted and fitted out for foreign service. With the exception of a body of shipwrights employed on the paddlewheel despatch steamer Salamis, 4, 250-horse power, the efforts of the mechanics and artisans at Chatham dockyard are devoted almost exclusively to the iron and iron plated ships under construction. The:greatest share of attention is directed to the iron frigate Achilles, 50, 1,250-horse power, which has as many as 500 hands employed on her, a considerable number of whom are shipwrights who have been there since the turnout of the hired mechanics, which occurred some few months since. The work is now steadily proceeding. Some unforeseen delays have occurred during her progress, consequent on the Admiralty having deviated from the plans according to which it was originally intended she should be built; but as the alterations are the result of the practical trials with the Warrior and Black Pi ince, the experience thus gained will be turned to proper account during the progress of the Achilles. The altera tions have been finally approved by the Board of Admiralty, and no further delay from this cause is again likely to arise. The Achilles, unlike the Warrior or Black Prince, will be completely en cased in armour-plates, rendering her invulnerable from stem to stern. In this respect she will be superior in her means of defence to both the vessels named, which are only covered with armour plates for about 200 feet, on their broadsides, leaving the distance to their atem and stern entirely unprotected, with the exception of a thin coating of iron. It is also intended to carry the armour-plates to a height of seven feet above the main deck all round. By this means additional protection will be given at the part of the vessel where it is most required. In No. 3 dock, adjoining that in which the Achilles is building, lies the Royal Oak, 50, armour-plated frigate. The number of hands employed about her is between 300 and 400, their Efforts being chiefly concentrated on placing her armour-plates. At the time of her launch a few weeks since, her third tier of plates on her broadsides had been commenced. Since she has been in dock, however, another tier has been added, and these have nearly all been bolted to the ship's side. The bolts carrying her armour-plates are all of galvanised iron, the plates being laid on a packing of felt. The machinery for plaining, shaping, bending, and otherwise prepar ing the plates is now in full operation, the iron slabs being turned out complete as fast, if not faster, than the mechanics can fix them to the ship's side. The Royal Oak has already shipped her huge iron lower masts and bowsprit, and from the energy which is being shown in completing her there is every pro bability that she will be ready to proceed to sea early in 1863. In order to facilitate the operation of plating the Royal Oak tramways have been laid down on both sides of the dock, on which are laid two of Taylor's large travelling steam cranes, each capable of lifting armour-plates of the heaviest kind. To within 40ft of her stem and stern the armour plates of the Royal Oak will be of the uniform thickness of 41in ; they will then commence taper ing off to 3in in thickness, excepting under the buttock, where they will be 2in, and at the stern 2in in thickness. In the adjoining sheds are the Belvidere, 51, 500-horse power; the Menai, 22, 400-horse power ; the Reindeer, 17, 250- horse power ; and the Myrmidon, 4, 250-horse power, which have not a single hand employed on them, the sheds being used as - workshops principally for preparing the plates for the Achilles and the Royal Oak. The fine two-decker Bulwark, 90, 500 horse power, which was commenced three years since, mid is about half completed, has had the whole of the hands withdrawn from her for some time, the Admiralty being undecided whether to complete her according to her present plan or to convert her into an iron-plated frigate. She has recently been surveyed by Admiral Robinson, Surveyor of the Navy, and it is now intended to alter her to a 50- gun armour-plated frigate according to a plan sub mitted to the Admiralty by Mr. Lang, the master shipbuilder at Chatham. This will necessitate the removal of her upper deck, an addition of some 4 1 0 1 feet to her length amidships and additional strength being imparted to her to bear the increased of her armour plates.
