The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 24th inst. shows some rather important variations, in most instances of a favourable character as regards the resources: of the establishment. The bullion, notwithstanding the demand for the Continent, and the shipments to the East, xhibits a slight augmentation. In the re served notes there is a large increase, 'Viz., about half a million, and the other securities, although the Bank minimum still continues at 3 per cent. show an increasri o f half a million sterling. The public deposits, i;on- Sequent upon the active collection of the revenue, have been augmented by about three quarter o f a million, and the private deposits are also larger. The active circulation has been diminished to the extent of over a quarter of a million. In Vie other items of the balance-sheet there is little u:lteration of importance ; they will be seen in the subjoined table Active Circulation ..

GO GO GO 484,715 These figures denote the continued easiness of the Money Market, for although there is an increase in the stock of other securities arising from revenue and other payments, the bullion is larger, and the circulation has been contracted. There is very little business in the general market, notwithstanding the approach of the 4th of the month, and the calls in course of pay ment on account of railways, ' loans, &c. So quiet is the demand for accommodation at the Stock Exchange, that loans are offered at terms as low as 11 per cent. for short periods and on Government Securities. The monthly liquidation in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares may stimu late the in quiry, but the effect, if any, will be merely temporary. The Colatinental exchanges, yesterday afterpoon, were steady, and although there was no movement of importance, the tendency appears favourable. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed quietly, and 6,000 bales were sold at about previous rates. In railway shares a small amount of busi ness was transacted, and prices tended downwards. The Alhambra, from Gibraltar, has brought £644 S Peele. • Among the arrivals announced to-day is the from Sydney, but she is not presumed Lo bring any specie. The marl et for English Securities appeared r ather heavy at the commencement of business, but m ore firmnoss is now apparent, owing to the favourable Bank return, and an impression that an improvement will take place in the French Funds. T he speculative operations, however, are very dull, and as fe w permanent investments are made. the market is very inactive. Consols are 984- 4 for money and account.

Th omas R es t ar i c k was i n th e Chair, and at his request a letter was read from the Ge neral Shipowners' Society, London, • intimating that the soci e ty had convened a general meeting of s hipowner s and all interested in British shipping, ( 1 1 1 the 15th Dec., at the London Tavern, to take to in • Consideration the present ruinous condition of the shippi ng interest. Mr. T. STEVENS, who proposed the first resolu in; alluded to various facts tending to prove that the shipping interest was one of great national 1 3 + ° dance. The shipowners did not object to free ` ra de, but he contended that it ought to be reci l'neated by foreign countries, which was not the ca s e• He did not wish it to be . said the shipowners wanted protection and nothing else; they wanted f r ee trade , but fair trade. He then read the reso at,ien, as follows : ,_-` That this meeting, considering the present distressed ve 'lLate of British shipping ar i s es i n a great measure from. the Be :t of reciprocity by foreign States, and that fopugntves he IL , are placed in British ports in much better positi t on t h t an t i e British vessels in foreign porta, it is resolved ha 1. 1 7 11 ti , e has arrived when the 324th clause of the and of Victoria, cap. 107, commonly called the reciprocity 1; • 113 °, should b e p u t in force, and that the Government e lt rged to take such measures as will most speedily ob '4mieh ar esu lt." s _ Captain ANDREWS, b who seconded the resolution, aid that they wanted free trade and fair competi tion wan the , ut what they most desired was reciprocity on Eart of other nations, who took advantage of • t r n nberality towards them. resolution was unanimously agreed to.

DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Judge:Ordinary.) MARCUMONT V. 114ARCHMONT. Mr. Sergeant Pigott this morning continued the cross examination 'of Mr. Marehmoat. The rev, gentleman said— I never told Tobin I owed £ 50 , 000 , and I would not leave the house until I had £25,000. I never said anything about it. I did not write my wife's name in a cab. I never said anything about the ground being cursed. Referring to the subject of 145., before that there was a quarrel about 16s. Louis and Tobin were present. On the 15th of May the quarrel took place about the 14s. Mrs. Marchmont did not give me a cheque for £lOO a week before. The week after that I wanted 14s. Mrs. Xarchmont refused to give it me. I never threw her upon the sofa. I said I would exercise the legitimate rights of a husband and would have the 14s. I never threw her on the sofa. I put her on the sofa. I said, " Carry, you should not 'set me at defiance about the 145." She re plied, " You should not make me afraid of you." She took out her purse and dashed it upon the table. I never said I thought it would go hard with tile if'it came to judicial pro ceedings. I never asked Mrs. Marchmont to sign blank cheques on the 27th of May. I swear I did not, nor at any time about that period. About the accusation of spending money improperly,.' I showed Mrs. Marchmont my cheque-book. The proposal to . shov the cheque-book arose with Mrs. Marchmont. By the Judge—When I came out of the Bank of London I said to Mrs. Marchmont, " Now I have the cheque-book in my hand, I will prove to you that I don't spend my money improperly." The Judge Ordinary--That is very different to what you stated just now. The cross-examination then proceeded—On the 4th of June Mrs. Marchmont called me a d—d blackguard, and I called her an aggravating —. Two of the servants were present. The reason I used the expression about pulling out Mrs. Marchmont's tongue was because she told the servants I kept another woman. I said, " Caroline, if you use such expressions you ought to have your tongue pulled out." Mrs. Marchmont did not say to the servants, "for God's sake let me out of the house." She did not run across the garden. She walked quickly. James succeeded in stopping her. After tha,t, Mo. Marchment kertlter bed from illness. I slept in the same bed that night, and „applied hot wa ter to her stomach. She complained of a rising in her throat. That was on the 4th of June, 18,56. I swear most positively that . she took beef-tea and wine from my hands at the time of this illness. I swear,it most positively. After the scene in the garden she took tea twice during the day—all from my hands. That I most positively swear. I swear that a re conciliation took place on the Saturday following this cir cumstance. Mrs. Marchmont's illness lasted five days. The reconciliation took place on the night I have stated—' five days after her illness. Monday was the first day she asked for a doctor. This would be the 7th Juno. It was about five o'clock in the evening. I asked her playfully if she would have the Islington doctor. She said she would have Dr. Bird. I said, "Yours is not a case that requires a doctor; if you get up take a lamb chop, a little wine, and a ride in the carriage, itwill do you more good than all the medicine in the world. I'm afraid your illness is a pain in the temper." I cannot give any reasons why I wished all the letters I had written to be returned. Re-examined by Mr. MiCaulay—l never saw the paper relative to the settlement of 'Mrs. Marehmont's property, which it has been said I tore up after I wrote. I don't recollect tearing it up. I never interfered with the settle ment of her property or the appropriation thereof further than has been given here in evidence. My expulsion from the religious society I formerly belonged to did not injure me with my congregation; I was never heard in my de fence. The husband of the lady brought the two letters before my congregation, which munbered about 500. I was present at part of the proceedings. _ By the Judge—l was not present at the conclusion of the meeting. By Mr. Macaulay—l was present when the votes were given ; there were only seven hands held up for my expul sion. I resig,ned the appointment in consequence of this circumstance; - but I was, without any attempt on my part, re-elected. The whole of the circumstances were laid before Mrs. Marchmont previous to our marriage. She was fully aware of all the facts. The Judge Ordinary—l don't think that circumstance affects the case in the slightest manner, and I shall not put the question on my notes. The question we are trying is one of cruelty. By Mr. Macaulay—l received several.anonymous letters reflecting upon the conduct of Mrs. Marehmont during her absence from home. A short discussion here ensued whether the letters should be produced The learned judge ruled against their pro duction at this point in the trial. Re-examination by. Mr. Macaulay continued.—On Sunday morning after our reconciliation Mrs. Marehmont said to me, as I was dressing, " What a devil of a noise you are making with that washhand 7 stand. You have kept me awake all night by your restlessness." Mrs. Davis, sister of Mrs, Marchmont, was called, and Sergeant Pigott was about to put a question to her rela tive to the conduct of Mrs. Marchmont, but The Judge Ordinary said, as the question • to be put was a general one, and not , one of fact, he did not think it ought to be submitted to the witness. Sarah Bennett was the next witness examined. She said—ln 1857 Mr. and Mrs. Marchmont came to myhouse at Tonbridge-wells. They remained five weeks. Mrs. March- mont was taken ill. During her illness Mr. Mtirchmont always 'appeared very kind and attentive. Mrs. March • mont seemed very irritable and bad tempered towards him. I have sworn to tell the truth, and Ido so. Laughter.) She appeared to be dissatisfied with him, although he tried to do all he could for her. (Laughter.) When Mrs. March mont got well she did not appear to be better tempered. I cannot recollect any.particularly angry words arising, but I know they had words . . By Sergeant Pigott—l don't know what Mr. March mont said to her. Emma Stoddart, servant at Mrs. Bennett's, said—l re collect a quarrel taking place wig!). Mr. and Mrs. March mont were there. I recollect them quarrelling about some wine. Mrs. Marchmont became ill "after this quarrel. Mr. Marchmont appeared very kind to her, but she always ap peared dissatisfied with what he did. Mrs. Marchmont told me her husband was a brute, and she hated him. She did not say anything about leaving him, but I thought she meant to do so. • Cross-examined by Sergeant Pigott—l never told Mr. llarehmont that his wife called him a brute , but I have another person. Mrs. Bennett recalled—lhave heard Mrs. Marchmont call her husband a brute. She said so to me, and she also said she would leave him. This was after Mrs. Davis called. By Mr. Sergeant Pigott—When she said this Mrs. March mont was explaining about her illness. I don't recollect making any observation to her after she said so. Dr, Bean, of Tonbridge Wells, said—l am a surgeon. I was called in to see Mrs. Marchrnont when she was unwell. Mr. Marchmont, with two exceptions, was always in the bed-room. Mrs. Marchmont's complaint would produce irritability of temper. Elizabeth Hider, examined by Dr. Phillimore—l keep a lodging-house at Dover. I recollect Mr. and Mrs. March mont. They came in November and remained to January 12th. On one occasion IleardiMrs. Marchmont say, "For God's fake leave me alum",l heard her luabigul fay, " Carry, dear, conduct yourself as a lady ; you're in the house of a stranger." They were in the hall, and I was on the _kitchen stairs. Mr. Marehmont on thal occasion wis very calm. Her manner towards him was always very irril a 9?. The case is not expected to be concluded before Monday or Tuesday. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) KRANTZ V. HYDE -THE LAW OF TREASURE TROVE, This was an action to recover 10s. for a half-sovereign lost by the plaintiff, and alleged to have been found by the defendant. Plaintiff deposed that during a visit to defendant's mis tress she lost a half-sovereign, she thought in one of the rooms. Upon instituting inquiries it was discovered that defendant had found a half sovereign, but he declined to give it up unless plaintiff could swear to it. This she could not do, but contended that it was certainly a singular matter if two persons had lost a coin of the same value each, and upon the same day, in the same spot. It was very evident the money did not belong to defendant ; she should have taken it to the police-station. His Honour was of opinion that there could be no owner to loose coined money found in the street. Unless the coin were marked, who could swear to a shilling ? In the case of a bank-note or cheque, an identity could easily be esta blished. Supposing 500 persons lost 500 coins on the some day, and one coin was taken to the police-station, why the whole 500 persons might lay claim to it. In the present case there was no evidence to show that the half-sovereign found by defendant belonged to" plaintiff, and the verdict would be for defendant. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE—(This Day.) OMNIBUS OPPOSITION-SINGULAR JUDGMENT. The driver of one of the Metropolitan Saloon Omnibuses was summoned for an obstruction in the City on the 12th inst. The number of the 'bus was 7,052, and the officer proved that, when he told the driver to go on, there were about 10 omnibuses behind him and nothing in front. Although there was not, one of the 'buses behind him going his journey, he positively refused to move unless those behind him went on. The Alderman (Sir It. Carden)—You must not obstruct the carriage-way. You must pay the costs of the summons. Officer—l have another ease againet.defendant. On the 17th inst. he and a driver of the London General Omnibus Company's vehicles were waiting for each other in Lom bard-street. As they both refused to move unless one went first, I have summoned them both. Alderman—l shall dismiss the summons against this driver. Officer—And also against the driver, of the London General Omnibus ? Alderman—No. As he is not here I shall hear the case in due course. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(Thii Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING A DOCTOR'S CARRIAGE.—WiIIiam Fenelay, described as a carpenter, residing at Maria Cottage, Lewis ham, was charged with stealing a carriage apron from a chaise in Church-passage, Soho, the property of Mr. Henry Cooper, surgeon, of Moor-street, Soho. John Fidoe, coachman to the prosecutor, said that last night about 7, he put his horse in the stable in Church passage, and went to his tea, and on his return in about 20 minutes, he saw the prisoner coming out of the passage with the apron under his arm. Suspecting it was his em ployer's property, he felt in the chaise and found the apron was gone. He followed the prisoner, calling " Stop thief" as he did so; and in going through Phoenix-street, the prisoner dropped the apron, and continued his flight. Wit ness, determined not to lose him, still pursued him, and on getting into Church-street the prisoner fell down, and he (witness) then went up and secured him. The value of the apron (produced) was about 305., and was his employer's property. He asked hint to let him go, _but afterwards said it was no matter. The prisoner said he was innocent. He was not the same man that took it. Brosnan, 309 A, said, hearing a cry of " Stop thief," he went up and saw the prisoner with the coachman. On the way to the station, the prisoner said, if he took it, it was without his knowledge. The prisoner had been drinking. The coachman said he was positive as to the prisoner's identity. The prisoner, who for some time protested his innocence, ultimately admitted his guilt, and was committed for three months, with hard labour—the worthy magistrate telling him that he had very little doubt of his guilt from the first, notwithstanding his pretended innocence. THAMES. EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF ROBBERY.—Thomas Sweeny, an elderly man, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on remand, charged with stealing six packages of new files, value £2O, the property of Mr. John Walker, a contractor and manufacturer, of Millwall, Poplar. it appeared, froin the evidence of Grimes, a police-constable, No. 291 K, that he met the prisoner in King-street, Poplar, on the night of Saturday, the 20th inst., with a bag, containing something bulky, on his shoulders. Grimes asked the prisoner what the bag contained, and where he was going with his load, to which :he replied that the bag contained tools, and he was on his way to the house of Mr. Scott, engineer, in Blackwell. Grimes allowed the prisoner to go on, but con tinued to watch him. The prisoner did not proceed in the direction of Mr. Scott's house, and on reaching Sophia-street, Poplar, he saw the police-constable at his heels, dropped the bag, and ran away. He was pur sued and overtaken, and the bag, which contained six packages of files, was secured. The prisoner said Mr. Scott, of Blackwell, gave him the files. The policeman waited on Mr. Scott, who denied giving the prisoner any files, and said he had no knowledge of him whatever. Mr. John Walker said he had not the slightest doubt the files be longed to him. There had been a sensible diminution of his extensive stock lately, and he had lost property to a very large amount. The prisoner had been occasionally employed by him. The files were of Sheffield manufacture. Mr. Selfe—Can you positively identify the files pro duced ? Mr. Walker—l cannot ; but I have no doubt they are my property. My stock is a large one, and has sensibly diminished. Mr. Selfe sentenced the prisoner to two months' impri sonment with hard labour.

Three mines in the Gwennap district have attracted a great deal of at tention this week—East Basset, North Frances, and Wheal Grenville. These are mines to which, from their situation. and peculiar points of interest, we have often particularly alluded. East Basset, up to Friday morning, had been largely dealt in at 102} to 1071, but on telegrams being re ceived that the lode had been cut into rich in the 80 cross cut a rapid advaiice took place, and they left off 120 to 130. —Mining Journal of this day.

THE BOILER EXPLOSION NEAR NOTTINGHAM.- The adjourned inquest respecting. the death of Joseph Stevenson, the particulars of whose death by the explosion of a boiler of a thrashing-machine have appeared in The Sun, took place on Thursday. The seven men who were injured by the explosion have all recovered; but Henry Sulley, by whose carelessness in neglecting to ease the safety-valve the explosion was caused, is still unable to walk without the aid of crutches. The evidence went to chow that the explosion was caused by the carelessness of Sulley, who had neFlected to open the safety-valve and let off the steam. The jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Sulley, who was comnitted to the county gaol to take his trial at the next assizes. ROMAN AND SAXON ANTIQUITIES CAST UP BY THE SEA.-At the meeting of the Historic Society of Lan cashire and Cheshire, held in St. George's-hall, Liverpool, on Thursday evening, the Rev. H. H. Higgins, presiding, Mr. H. Ecroyd 'Smith exhibited a considerable number of articles from the seashore at Cheshire, chiefly found during the past year, including some valuable specimens of the bow, or lyre-shaped fibulae of the Romans, several of which still retain their brightly-coloured enamel pastes through the preserving action of the vegetable sail of the old Wirral forest, in which they have lain till washed out by the advancing tides. Among other curiosities was a circular brooch, quite recently foud about half-tide. It is of silver filagree work, and contains cup-formed receptacles for coloured enamels. The scrolled design is elegant, and the whole forms a very interesting specimen of the fourth cen tury workmanship. The coins comprised a silver denarius of the Emperor Hadrianus, A.D. 117-138 ; a silver penny of Ethelred 11. (the Unready), having on its reverse the Hand (of Providence) between the Greek letters Alpha and Omega; and silver pennies of Canute the Great, all being in an excellent state of preservation.

(after being foul of a brig), reached Halifax on the 28th, and departed for her destination on the 31s1. Halifax papers confirm this statement, and mention that she had three passengers for that port and 80 for Galway. From the Halifax shipping report of the 4th inst., received at the Underwriters Association here, we learn that the Indian Empire positively sailed on the 31st. She is there fore now out 26 days. Although the Pacific, of the same line s is reported to have left Newfoundland on the 14th, no, advices later than the 12th have come to hand here from St. John's ; but,- considering the telegraphic facilities on the American coast, there cannot be any reasonable doubt that had the Indian Empire been at either that port or Halifax she would have been reported before this. The statement of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, published in the Times of to-day, is therefore only calcu lated to mislead, more especially as they leavens in igno rance as to what thei r l a t es t d a t es frpsnllalifax are.

SLR. GLADSTONE'S M4I;S`SIOAr-: ATHENS, Nov. 18.—The news of NI-. Gla( Istone's mission to the lonian Islands had be .trine gen :erally known, and created much excitemen t in dir tic circles. The King had sent fbi • the R; ussmn Ambassador, and a Cabinet Council was b qd, to take into consideration the relations o.f the Greeks of the lonian Islands with their countrymen of the Continent, in conjunction with the publish cd de spaches of Sir J. 'Youngs Suggesting that ti te Bri tish Government should retain only the isl .nds of Corfu -and: Parie.4' It seeds to be under: stood by the King -and ComtAhat if 2ngland withdraws from the other islands they 15411 of necessity he an nexed to Greece. In order to conciliate the I tritish Government it was proposed to modify the ex (sting Ministry, and to take in some Liberals know) a to be favourable to England and constitutional nit le in Greece. The names mentioned for the new Cab inet are M. Dosios, Christides, &c. The Russian 4 km bassador is said to favour this move on the par t of the Court, as in point of fact the islands t nom which we should retire would, annexed . to Gree fall under Russian influence. Now let me give' Tou the state of public opinion in Greece on this gi les tion as explained in the letter before me. rhe patriotic Greeks all, in fact, beyond - the ati no sphere of the Court—=say, "We do not w ish. to see Greece incorporate the lonian Islai ids until we are free at home —until we see ; the Sovereign adopt an independent national e constitutional policy at home and abroad. W hy, say the people, should we desire to see the lon.;.an g under the rule of a Sovereign and Court wilt-, area anything but Greek ?" In fact, let us look 0.'6 the condition of the lonian Islands as corripareei with Continental Greece. Throughout the whole, group under British rule roads have been made a wad other public works executed which have incroased the value of land and made the people comi)aratively prosperous. Land in Continental Greece is worth S 4 per acre, whilst at Corfu it fetches £f2o ! In the lonian Islands we have no brigands, and life • and property are secure. In the lonian Islands agriculture is much more advanced than.' iu Greece , and the merchants are richer. Now, let; us look rat Continental Greece. • Tire 'miles out of Athe as there are no p u bli c roa d s , an d a tra yeller w -. (th money about him jiare not deep three mines out of Athens. Thi s h as been prove.at Penteligiie, Kefissia, &c. In Continental Greece there is :no security for life or property. As regards constitu tional government, it only exists in ni ime, the Queen and Court having entirely usurpod the power of the Chambers, and even persecuted those who sought to maintain rights which King Otho was placed on the throne to defend. Agrieralture is abandoned, and if ' any prosperity exi sts., it originates in external commerce, which the Clove rn meat cannot destroy. All this is known to d tGreeks of the Islands as well as Greeks of the Continent, and the former would lose materially mud pol itically if English rule were withdrawn.-11forning Post. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE LIFEBOATS. Some time since the Government of the • Care of ' Good Hope ordered two lifeboats to be , built in this country, on the plan of those now adopted and successfully used by the Royal National Li feb oat Institution. Accordingly instructions were .given to the Messrs. Forrests, of Limehouse, to pri.lceed. with r large lifeboat 38 feet long, and one 32, feet in length, the drawings for which have been. ex pressly furnished by M r . Peake, their dekigner. Yesterday a trial of these boats took place in. the Regent's-canal dock, in the presence of many: ex perienced persons and others connected with. the . Lifeboat Institution. The 38 f ee t b oa t was Wined over by means of some tackling attached to a hydraulic crane. After having with same diffi culty been turned keel up, she at once recovered her proper position, and freed herself of the water she thus shipped in less than 30 secol So great was the stability of the boat that'. it required the weight of 33 men on one gunwald , to bring it to the water's edge, showing that it woui'd be almost impossible for her to be capsized in heavy surf; but in the event of such a casualty the boat would immediately right herself again. With. 40 men on board no water could remain in the boat, the same being self-ejected. The smaller lifeboat was subjected to a similar trial, and with the like gratifying result. On the whole nothing could have been more satisfactory than the trials of thet:e lifeboats, and we have no doubt that the inhabi tants of Table Bay and Port Elizabeth, where they are to be permanently stationed, under the com mand of Lieut. Jamieson, R.N., and another officer will learn, as the people on our own coasts have learned with lifeboats of a similar character, •to appreciate their valuable characteristics. This class of lifeboat possesses in the highest degree the qualities 'which it is m os t desirable a lifeboat should possess, viz., great lateral stability, speed. against a heavy sea, facility for launching and for taking the shore, immediate self-discharge of any water breaking into her, the important advantage of self-righting if upset, freight and stowage room for a number of passengers. In the great efforts which the National Lifeboat Institution is no w making to provide exposed points with lifeboats, and there are still sixty such points unprovided on our coasts with lifeboats, according to reliable-re turns from officers of the Coast Guard and others, let us express an earnest hope that these efforts will be cordially seconded by the pecuniary support' of the public. During the late disastrous gales on our coasts the Institution's lifeboats saved many a ship wrecked crew from a watery grave, and who can tell how many more of these unfortunate creatures who perished on those calamitous occasions might now have been alive and preserved to their familic and country if lifeboats had been in sufficient num bers on the coast ? 31ETROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Yesterday-, at 12 o'clock, this board held a meet ing in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, for the transaction of business, Mr. Thwaites, the chair man, presiding. The paper of business for the day showed that the balance in the hands of the trea surer to the Board on the general current account on the 22d inst. was £14,690 odd ; that the amount of the general deposit account was £25,000 ; that the balance on special accounts amounted in the aggregate to £134,518; making a total general balance of £174,208. Mr. Woolrych, the clerk, read a communication from the vestry clerk of St. Luke's, Chelsea, stating that at a special meeting of the vestry on the 19th inst. Mr. Tite, M.P., had been elected to represent them at the board in the room of Mr. F. Chalmer. resigned. The hon. gentleman, at a subsequent part of the sitting, took his seat at the board and received the customary welcome. Mr. Burslem pre sented a memorial from the vestry of Paddington, complaining that several new streets in that dis trict had been commenced in disregard of the by law of the board that notice should be given to the board, accompanied by plans. Mr. Peckett brought up a report from the committee of the whole Loard on Covent-garden approach and Southwark and Westminster communication, recommending that the treasurer of the board be requested to give in structions for the sale of a portion of the Exche quer bills applicable to the Southwark and 'West minster communication current account. The re commendation was agreed to. Mr. Stevens pr'- rented a memorial numerously signed b inh ui • tants of Balham, Clapham-common, Wandsworth common, and Battersea, calling the attention of the board to the fact that from the increasing num ber of houses the state of the Falcon-brook sewer, which was open and pestilential, had become much worse, and praying that the board would take im mediate steps to convert it into a covered one. Mr. Stevens also presented a communicatic n from rate payers and owners of property in the district of Fulham, stating that the building of houses of a superior class, which had been going on for several. years past, had received a check, from the disco very that drainage could only be obtained by means of open ditches charged with gases destructive to human life. and without any flow, or by cesspools through which their pure springs of water were polluted.. A letter was read from Mr. Austin, Secretary of Works, stating that that board are prepared to pay the atnountof the expenses (£1,500) incurred by the Metropolitan Board in supplying information to the Government referees on the main drainage. The question as to giving the proper notices for taking the lands and other pro perty for the purpose of carrying on the Victoria Approach Act was referred to the Streets Committee on the motion of Mr. Dixon. It was referred to the Main Drainage Committee, at the instance of Mr. Legg, to take the necessary steps for obtaining the homes and land requisite for the construction of the pumping station at Deptford Creek, with power to engage such professional assistance as migLt b 3 necessary for the purpose. Some routine business was then transacted, and the board adjourned. THE MURDER OF MR. ELY.--The gentry of tle Queen's County have subscribed £B5O, which sum, ni £l5O offered by Government, makes up £l,OOO as the re ward for the discovery and conviction of the assassin. Delany is still at large ; £2OO are offered for his appiehen sion ; £lOO for the arrest of such person or persons as may harbour Delany, and £7OO for such information as shad lead to the actual conviction of the murderer or murderers of 31r. Ely. In any other county, where the Riband code oes not override the law of the land, £l,OOO would b e tty certain to effect the ends of justice. Six times th am unt, however, was offered in vain for a clue to the grea Norbury murder perpetrated in the Queen's County up wards of 20 years ago, and which remains one of the most remarkable instances on record of =discovered crime.
