CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The return from the . Bank of England, made up for the week ending the 7th instant, is of a rather unsatisfactory character. Owing to the late remit tances of bullion to the continent and the absence of Australian supplies, there is a diminution of over half a million in the stock of the precious metals. The reserve of notes has also been lessened to the extent of half a million, and the private securities, owing to the preparations made for the commercial payments of the fourth of the month, show an augmentation of about a quar ter of a million sterling. he Public Deposits have been trenched upon to the amount of four hundred thousand pounds sterling, and the Private Deposits also show a slight reduction. The active circulation, owing to the gradual improvement of trade, shows a slight increase. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is little alteration re quiring special report ; they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active circulation Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public deposits Decrease . Other deposits Decrease Seven-day and other bills Increase bi•overnme n t securities Increase Other securities Increase Notes unemployed Decrease .£20,537,770 113.015 . 17,408 657 . 529,790 . 3,211.647 37,544 . 6,994.930 . 400,199 . 13,155,645 46 323 . 808,527 41,383 10,692,417 15,454 16,635,445 259,756 10,666,680 623,325 There is direct evidence in the returns both of the Bank of France and the Bank of England, of an increased commercial demand for money. The supply of bills has largely augmented, and as, concurrently with the movement, the ad vices relative to trade have become satisfac tory, there is every reason to believe that mercantile affairs are steadily progressing towards a recovery. During the last few days the inquiry for accommodation has slightly relaxed, hut there IS still a fair amount of discount business among the bankers, and although the terms have receded to 21 2 Per cent. they are likely to advance when ever the applications become rather more nume- rous. There was a further withdrawal yesterday from the Bank of 30,0001. in gold. No one seems able to state the object for which these experts of the precious metals are intended, but it is imagined they are on account of some large financial opera tion with one of the foreign States. The decline in the bullion, viz., 529,7901., has taken many by surprise, being much mora than was anticipated. When any of the Australian supplies arrive, some curiosity will be evinced to learn whether they will be all absorbed for remit tances to the continent. According to the advices received yesterday, the rate of exchange at New York for bills drawn upon England was 1091, show ing an advance, but a further upward movement is required to stimulate the exportation of gold. 'rhe Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhi bited a very steady appearance, and prices of all kinds were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken cn speculation and for export. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about 51,2031., and the exports 92,7441., ex clusive of the following shipments direct from Lon don to the Continent during the week ending Thttrsday last:— Gold Coin Boulogne ... 150 Ozs.

THE SUN, LONDON, SA TURD AY EVENING, JULY 10, 1858. THE FETE AT C.REHORNE. Paid' Leasing Companies Closing Prices this dey Bnsines , this day. The weather is no respecter of persons. The leaders of the fashionable ‘world may organise a fete —the ladies patronesses may distribute their vouchers with all due liberality and discrimination —and the fair and the brave may anticipate the novelties of the Cremorne fairyland; but, alas ! the pitiless rain comes down, and both literally and figuratively damps all these brilliant expectations. It is probable there never was a fete more elabo rately or expensively arranged than that which came off under such watery auspices yesterday evening. The high position of the patrons and patronesses gave such a preliminary stamp of fashion to the ar rangements that every one was anxious to he present, and: as a consequence, all the tickets were disposed of before the fete. But the rain spoiled all. It was to no purpose that Mr. Simpson had divided his Chinese platform into thirty-two compartments, each emblazoned with the heraldic achievement of a patroness or patron, and had exhausted the illu minative art in giving brilliancy to the scene. The rain washed away the coats of arms, the rain put out the variegated lamps, the rain gave the rare exotics a bitter lesson on the variability of our climate. Pools of water occupied the floor over which the waltzers should have whirled, and soli tary men, armed with saturated umbrellas, stood around at long intervals, and meditated on the utsbility of all sublunary affairs. Eighteen. hundred square yards of dancing surface was a desert, and the costly mirrors with which the plat form was profusely decorated, reflected nothing but a moist and vapoury solitude. The proprietor had anticipated far different results, and there is no doubt that had the weather been at all favourable he would not have been disappointed. As it was, upwards of 1,500 members of the haut ton mus tered in gay defiance of the rain, and groups of fair ladies, in opera cloaks and satin shoes, might be seen trudging valiantly, and wholly regardless of coughs and colds, from one indoor amusement to another. And here we would mention a defi ciency in the arrangements which may easily be remedied in case a second fete should take place under happier auspices. The company, the majo rity of whom were evidently new to the locality, had the greatest difficulty in finding their way, and groups of ladies might be seen standing helplessly under the rain, while their cavaliers ran hither and thither anxiously inquiring where was the cir cus, or the ball-room, or the hotel, as the case might be. A few attendants placed at the corners, or even an illuminated finger-post here and there, would have remedied al! this inconvenience, and we trust it will not be forgotten next time. A considerable number of the company came early, and dined at the hotel, where arrangements had been made on a scale of the greatest abundance, and these of course were in time for the balloon, in which Lieut. Chambers made his solitary ascent ; they would have been also in time for the Morris and Maypole dances, only that it would have been adding insult to injury to have introduced such fine weather amusements on an evening when there was nothing but "water, water, everywhere." Later in the evening, the carriages of the beau monde thronged the King's-road entrance, and the occu pants soon filled the ballet theatre with an audience Which looked mere suited to the imperial theatre at Versailles, than so democratic a place of amuse ment as Cremorne. 1 1 he dauciug, which would have probably been fastidiously criticised at her Msjesty's Theatre, was vociferously applauded, and the company, unsated, at once rushed off to the Marionette Theatre, wading ankle-deep all the way in the new gravel which had been most carefully laid down in anticipation of moonlight sad dry weather. Mr. Hugo Vamp was iu gnat strength, and commenced business with an occasional address in which the names of the patrons and patronesses were poetically introduced, and which, bring de livered wish that impressive although slightly spasmodic gesticulatien for which this well-known stage manager is remarke.':le, elicited several dis tinct rounds of applause. The members of his com pany were then successively introduced, and each gave a specimen of his or her quality. Lady Mac - bath tore a passion to titers with a refreshing amount of vehemence • the tenor sang a song, and the dancers pirouetted with a perseverance which performers of a higher order of vitality would have found it difficult to imitate. This last portion of the introductory performance was loudly cheered, but the classic burlesque which followed a propos of the love affairs of Paris and Helen was not at tractive enough to keep the company. Juno met with an untoward accident in being su idenly drawn up to the roof in the midst of an insinuating address to the Judge of B, , auty, and consequently escaped the rain of seeing the apple given to her rival. There was then a rush to the circus, with plenty of rain as before the whole of the distance. and even when the company thought themselves seated out of harm's way, a srrcessiou of heavy drops from the roof warm d them that their har bour of refuge bad not been constructed for that special occasion. But they had come to be amused, and they were resolved to be so. Th!,T cheered with astonishing resolution, threw bouquets to the tight-rope dancer, and waited patiently until the last cavalier bad retired from the sawdust, and the last master of the ring had made his la,t bow a la Widdicornb to his distinguished ad mirenz. The dancing came next, for fireworks would have been au impossibility, and as the Chinese pladform was under water, the bailet theatre was cleared for the dance, and was soon filled with dancers who whirled about with a vigour which could not have been surpassed by the regu lar habitues of Cre:norne. The gentlemen wore their hats and the ladies their bonnets, and altoge ther it was difficult to realise that this was a s...lect fete to which only the creme de la creme were ad mitted on production of voucher and payment of half-a-guinea, and not the ordinary gathering of Smith, Brown, Jones, and Robinson, which makes Cremorue the jolliest place in town on the regular nights. It is fortunate that, however weather may have interfered with the enjoyment of the guests, it did not prevent the receipt of a large sum of money applicable to the charities on whose behalf the fete was originated. Neither, it is to be lived, will Mr. Simpson be much the loser. We were in formed that after all expenses there would be up waris of 1,0001. applicab!e to charitable purposes. Amongst the visitors were the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary, and the following distinguished personages, who however include but a very small portion of the company :—Earl and Countess Hardwicke, Lady Elizabeth York, Lady Agnes York, Viscount Ingestre, Viscountess Ingestre, Viscount Canterbury, Lord Ravens worth, Viscount Ranelagh, Lady Charlotte Eger ton, Lord Hervey, Eirl St. Germans, Sir Ralph and Lady Howard, Earl and Countess of Shrews- bury, Marquis and Marchioness of LAhian, Hon. William and Mrs. North, Lord Ernest Brace, Lord Brougham, Hon. Arthur Russell, Right Hon. W. Beresford, Count Palffy, Mr. Tubb?, Mr. Byng, M.P., Lord and Lady Villiers, Colonel and Mrs. Darner, Capt. Bathurst, Han. Edward Leigh, Hon. Mr. and Mi - s. Ashley, the Master of - - Lovatt, ct - co. It is almost needless to add that admirable order was preserved throughout, and that the police did their duty with their usual tact and efficiency. THE DAGENHAM MURDER. Yesterday morning, Inspectors Whicher and binson, of the detective force, were busily engaged in making inquiry at Dagenham respecting the mysterious murder of George Clarke, the police constable of the K division, and, from important information they have received during the last few days in the village and its outskirts, they fully ex pect to bring forward two witnesses who can give corroborative evidence in connexion wish this tra gical affair. It is the intentica of the Police Commissioners of Cie metropolitan force to instruct counsel to attend this (Saturdv) morning for the prosecution of the accused, Gee. Blewitt, at the Court House, adjoin ing Ilford Gaol, where the prisoner will be brought up tor re-examination at 10 o'clock. The following is a copy of the placard issued by the Government shortly after the discovery of the murder " One; Hundred Pounds Reward.—Whereas on' the nigle.t of the 29th of June, or the morning of the 30th, George Clarke, a constable of the K divi sion of the metropolitan police, was brutally mur dered while on duty by some person or persons mi -1 known, in a corn-field in the parish of Dagen ham, in the county of Essex, a reward of 1001. will be paid by her Majesty's Government to any person who shall give such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of the offender or offenders, and the Right Hon. the. Secretary of State for the Home Department wi.:ll advise the grant of her Majesty's pardon to any accomplice (not being the person who actually corn rcated the murder) who will give such information 3.s shall lead to the same result. " Metropolitan Police-office, July, 184 G." There was also a reward of 101. offered for the discovery of the body of Clarke, a few days subse quent to the murder, which has not been paid, although the money is due to the young man Page, who, it will be remembered, first found the body of the deceased in the corn-field on the morning of the 3d of July, 1846. Yesterday forenoon Mr. Superintendent Howie proceeded to Dagenham and other places in EQs‘a, to trace, if pos. , ible, persons connected with the murder, and to obt:/in some testimony relative to a female who, it is alleged, washed the clothes of the man Chalk after the perpetration of the fearful tragedy. A plan of the spot where the murder was com mitted has been taken, showing the farm of Mt. Collier, the mansion of - 31!s. Sarah Stone, Mr. Britton's farm, the cottage of the ac cused !George Blewitt, the high-road from Romford, the eleven-acre field, pond, and the corn field which the murderers must have crossed in pursuit of the deceased Clarke from the barn where it is alleged the prisoner (Blewitt) and his com panions were burg,lariously engaged on the night of the murder. It has been stated in one of the morning journals that the throat of the deceased was not cut. On the contrary, the neck exhibited two inertll wounds,- which the medical gentleman (who was examined on Monday week, and ga?e testimony at the coroner's inquest in July, 1846) stated on oath nearly separated the head from the trunk. The stock which the deceased wore was completely cut through, as the surgeon sail, by a double-edged knife or dirk. SHA.RE MARKETS (This Day)• RAILWAYb. Closing Prloe this day Basikess done this day.

A private letter from Copenhagen, dated the Gth of this month is to this effect : " I hasten to send you the report of the reply which the Danish Government is to forward to Frankfort. The Ministers held extraordinary Cabi net Councils on Friday,Saturday, and Monday, and at councils so held the details of the answer to be sent to the Bundestag have been discussed and agreed upon. "The Danish Government declares, it is asserted, that it is impossible for it to take the initiative in putting forward ideas or propositions of a nature to satisfy the Federal Diet, and that it cannot af ford the latter satisfaction in a question which has not merely a German but a European character ; and it is a recognised principle that in questions of this nature, the decisions of the Federal Diet have no force. " The Danish Government declares, however, that it is ready to continue the negotiations, and even to make sacrifices for the maintenance of peace. It wishes to sati-fy, of its own accord, every equitable claim, if the course of forcing on it inadmissible conditions, among others those requiring that the general constitution of Denmark should be submitted to the approbation oft he States of Holstein, be not persisted in. The Danish Cabinet wishes that negotiators should be named on both sides, inasmuch as it appears necessary that the complaining party should state with exactness and precision its grievances and complaints."

De lasalle, in defending one of the desperate gang of robbers and murderers just tried at Caen, tbHs wound up his speech :---"Think, gentlemen, of the terrible conse quences of a judicial mistake ! You are now twelve in that b• x, and, in society, you may keep up each other's courage. But whew my client's head rolls on the scaffold you will bs separated. That gory head will haunt your solitude and your domestic hearth ; it will startle you on the desk of the counting-house; it will face you on the conjugal pillow; and it will come between you and your children when you go to kiss them," TRAIN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Consequcnc9s of a most serious nature were nearly arising on Thursday afternoon out of the thunderstorm which passed over Birmingham and South Staffordshire at that time. The 4 o'clock train left Birmingham for Wolverhampton on tho Stour Valley line amidst a hravy shower of lain and hail. After about 20 minutes the train out stripped the shower, but when at Deepfieldi it was again overtaken, and struck by the lightning. The flash was followed by a report of a most unusual sound, not that of a sudden explosion which often accompanies very near thunder clap?, but resera blirg more the crack of a hundred rifles, exploded close to the train. The report and the flash were almost simul taneous. The engine driver and stoker felt them selves wrapped round in a sheet of blue flame—the stoker experiencing a shock on the back of the head, which for a time rendered him insensible. Every person in the train felt the shock, those who were nearest to the door on the off side more o than the rest, the lightning having the appearance of run ning along the rail on that sidA. One of the pas sengers, Mr. B. Hicklin, in the commission of the peace fur the borough of Wolverhampton, was struck upon the right arm and knocked to the op posite side of the carriage in which he was riding. The guard, H. Rixam, was standing up in the train at the time, applym4 the brake. He ap- Fara to have sustained the greatest shock. an instant his whole system was paralysed. On arriving at the station, howev e r , at Deep thid s, he was enabled to st igger out of his van, with the intention of attending to his duties. The station master there found him reeling as though drunk, with his hand to li s head, and held hi m up. If he had net done so, Rixam would certainly have fallen off the platf , r m upt n the line. The station-master helped him back into his van, and put a porter with him to take charge of the train. On arriving at Wolverhampton, the guard was w sisted into the inspector's office, and s om e b ran dy and water administered to him. After a while he was enabled with some difficulty to proceed home. At Wolverhaml,ten, also, Mr. Hicklin appeared to he suffering considerably from the shock which he had experienced, and complained of the benumbed sensation in his arm. It is dreadful to contemplate the shocking results that would have followed both driver and stoker becoming incvacitated under such circumstances. A .P,EV ARKABLE FRENCHMAN.

Bonpland was born at Ruchela in 1773. He was the son of a physician, and was bi ought up to his father's profession, but the political events of the early 3 epublic compelled him to enter the navy. He made a long cruise as t naval surgeon, but took the earliest opportunity of returning to. Paris to pursue his studies. there, at the house of M. Corvisart, he made the acquaintance of a young German of about his own age, who afterwards be came known to the world as the celebrated A'ex ander de Humboldt. These young; men became in timate friend, and when M. d o H um b o ld t under took his expedition to tlie equinoctial regions of the new world, M. Bonpland accompanied him. During this journey M. Bonpland collected and classed upwards of six thousand plants, which were then unknown to botanical writer:. On his re turn to Fiance he presented his collection to the Museum of Natural His'ory, and received the thanks of , Napol,:on 1., who granted him a pen , ion. The Empress Jcsaphine was very fond of Bonpland ; she made him her factor at Mal maison, and cften sowed in her f. , ,fard there flower seeds which he had brought from the tropics. After the abdication at Fontainebleau, M. Bon pland urged th e Emp eror t o re i re to Mexico to observe events. A few weeks after tendering this ' fruitless ad vice he sat by the death-bed of Josephine and heard her last words. Her death and the de finitive fall of the empire leaving him nothing to d( sire in France, ho returned to South America, and became a professor of natural history at; Buenos Ayres. Subsequently he travelled across the Pampas, the provinces of Santa F 6, Chaco ' and Bolivia, end p ene t rate d t o the foot of the Andes. Being there taken fora spy, he was arrested by the Governor of Paraguay, and was de tained a prisoner for eight years till 1829. On his release he directed his steps towards the Brazils, and settled at San Boja, where in a charming but humble retreat, surrounded by orange groves and European shrubs, he remained to the day of his death, receiving with pleasure all French travellers who visited him. fie was the author of (among other works) " Les Plantes Equinoxales" (1805), " La Monographie de Melastones'' (1806), " Di scription des Plantes rares et de la Malmaisort" (1813), " Vue des Oordilleres et Monuments Indi genie de l'Anaerique" (1819), and (jointly with M. de Humboldt) " Voyage aux Regions Equinoxales du Nouveau Con tin eat." AN ATVFUL RISK. A slide occurred on the railroad which winds along the gorge between Lewiston and Suspension bridge (Niagara Falls), on Friday evening last, under circumstances which cause one to realize how constant and imminent are the perils of travel by rail, even under the most favourable circumstances. This road, for most of the distance, is oc the very brink of the gorge, in some places hundreds of feet above the river ; sometimes inserted into the per pendicular ledge, with large masses of rocks sus pended fearfully over the track. At a point about midway between the Falls and Lewiston where the 'track l'es about 200 feet above the river, and where tie descent is nearly perpendicular, nearly 70 feet of the roadbed slid off. The cob-house, perpendi cular wall, no broader at the base than at the top, which was relied upon to make things safe, began to give way (as the track master assured me) nearly or quite a week before. The giving out of the whole structure had been looked upon as certain for some ' time, and yet cars filled with passengers continued to be drawn at least twice a day. Such reckless ness is without a parallel in railway management. A gentleman, who was too late for the train, started to walk that evening over the track from Lewis ton to Suspension-bridge. It was he who first discovered the slide, but he came within a hair's breadth of going down the chasm himself. Not dreaming of anything of the sort, he walked to the very brink before he discovered, by th e di m light of the moon, the. fearful state of th e case. Another step and it would have been the last of him. Fortunately, be caught a glimpse of the yawning gulf. His retrograde movement was both timely and rapid. The slide had probably taken place immediately on the passing over of the triin but a short time before, for the rock were then tumbling and crashing into the abyss, and the gentleman felt sensibly the earth giving way under his feet as he sprang back. No mortal can tell how near total destruction and total annihilation that train of cars came. Its own weight and motion doubtless started the avalanche. Its speed—an instant of time—a finger's weight —may have been all that stood between eternity and every soul on board. But the train did pas., the pleasure-seek ing passengers all unconscious of the danger they had eecaped. And yet for days previous the trains had been exposed to this danger, and an officer in charge of the road assured me that he knew it. When informed at the office at Suspension-bridge that a slide bad occurred they knew precisely where to locate it, and said they had been expecting it for a week, and still had been sending out trains each way twice a-day all the while. Words cannot ex press the culpability of those in immediate autho rity. A presentation by the grand jury of Niagara County will probably attempt it. —Ne tv York Times, June 24. SHOCKING OCCUERENCE.-00 Thursday a bullock, which had become separated from a drove near the terminus of the Great Northern Railway, rushed in wild fury through the adjacent streets. In passing the Brill, S mere-town, two lads were knocked down and seriously injured, the furious animal conti nuing its mad career, followed by hundreds of men and boys toward,' Clarendon-square, and thence, turn ir g short for Charlton-street, an elderly woman intercepted his progress, but a moment had scarcely elapsed when he caught her by the throat on his born, and tossed her to a considerable height. The unfortunate woman falling heavily on the back of her head, sustained such severe injuries that she was removed in a very pre carious state to the hospital. The wound in the throat is extensive, and fears are entertained for her life. After a long chase the beast was secured and taken to the New Cattle Market, 5 , 20 10 20 75i i 6i 6 7 784 8 130 50i CO 9O G 90j 93 91i i i 63i 474 8 90i 45 71 St. ,'lOO 25 all 50 all 25 all 123 1 all 121 all 20 all St. 100 10 10 5i all St. 100 5i 50 all 50 all 50 all 25 all all St. 100 10 all 12 all 50 all 25 all St. 100 St. 12 12i 121 St., all 1 100 1 100 1100 !100 St. 8i St. St. 1 1.0.6; 100 100 100 100 100 Tall 1 all 98 METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORK& The ordinary meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Couucil Charn ber, Guildhall —Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement for the week showed a general balance of 97,9181. 4s. 3d. THE STATE OF THE RIVER THAMES —THE USE OF LIME FOR THE PURPOSES OF DEODORISATION. Mr. BAZALOETTE, the engineer, read the follow. ing report on the arrangements he bad made in pursuance of the resolution of the board as to deo dorising the c ntents of the principal sewers:— " No. 1, Greek-street, Sobo, July 8. " Gentlemen,—lmmediately upon the passing of the re solution I proceeded to make arrangements for deodorising the sewage discharged from 40 of the main sewers by pre cipitation with lime, as recommended in my report of the 28th ult. " On the following morning, five or six were being thus deodorised by the admixture of ground lime, and the next day the process was going on at 40 of the main outlets. Large vats have since been constructed, and are being used as rapidly as they can be made in order to substitute the milk of lime fcr ground lime at all these sewers, this being the most advantageous mode of application. Lime has hitherto been supplied to the board in small quantities, under the jobbing contracts, at 17s. 6d. per yard, but, considering that such large supplies should be obtained upon the most favourable terms, I obtained fresh tenders from thirteen respectable and well-known lime merchants, and from the two jobbing contractors, which I herewith submit to the board. " I have now to report that about 1,000 tons of lime have been used in the sewers at a cost of about 8007., and that to continue the process in full operation during the hot weather will cost about 180/. per day, but this sum may be reduced during and after rains or a fall of tem perature. The operation has been attended with consider able success, and its effect upon the river must be bene ficial. lam now making souse experiments upon several other modes of disinfection in order to ascertain whether any more economical means of obtaininr , the same object can be applied, and I shall be prepared to report the result to the board at a future day.—l have the honour to be, sir, Ste., J. W. BAZALGETTE, Engineer." On the motion that this report be received, Mr. Deputy HARRISON wanted to know how long this use of lime was to be continued, at a cost of 180/. a-day, wh:ch was to be paid for entirely by the metropolitan ratepayers, and for which they only derived a very partial benefit. Mr. BAZALGETTE recommended that the lime should be continued for the present, or during the hot weather, as the lime was put into the sewers, and from them it flowed into the Thames. Mr. LESLIe hoped they would hear what one of the greatfst chemists ( f the present day—Dr. Hof man—s dd upon this subjece He said :—" The several processes submitted to us for deodorising sewage into a manure by means of lime, by the use of Srotbert's and Gotto's mixture, by filtration through charcoal, and by shaking with charco a l, all fulfil to a certain exte n t th e offi ce for which they were proposed. At the same time, it is found that these several processes leave a large quantity of putrescible organic matter in solution, which, espe cially in hot weather, is apt to undergo decompo sition, and to give rise . to the generation of effluvia of-the mo,t offensive and dangerous character ; and we believe that the erection of works in the imme diate neighbourhood of the metropolis for the deo dorisation of the London sewage might prove very pre judicial to the health and comfort of the in habitants of London, and that in the event of the establishment of such works, the fluid run off from the sewage depot, if discharged into the Thames in the vicinity of London, might very seriously affect the river." • Mr. Deputy HARRISON would not cotrcnt to this enormous outlay only from week to week. Mr. EfAttras said the Thames was as ba,l now as it was before th is immense cost forlime was incurred. Mr. DOVLTON said a more useless expenditure had never been incurred by the board. Mr. PHILLIPS said a chemist examined before a commit tic of the House of Commons said that for every ton of lime thrown in, it cauJid four tons of deposit, and therefore it became a very serious matter to consid-r whether such a Focess should be eon in tied. Mr. PECKETr hoped the process would not be dis continued until it bad had a fair trial. Mr. PALMER, wanted to know if this lime thrown in would purify the river ? Mr. I3AZALGETTE said it would be beneficial, but it would not purify the river altogether. Afier some further discussion, it was agreed that the process should be continued for another week, the engineer then to report to the board upon its cost and efficiency, and to make recommendations for the future. After a hug discussion, it was determined by a majority of 21 to 14 to purchase Berkeley house, Spriiig-gardens, as a site for the offices of the board. Sonie other business was disposed of, and tb• board ::.djourued. THE METROPOLITAN BOARD AND THE PROPOSED NEW OFFICES. At the weekly meeting of the Vestry of St. Pan cras, held at the Court-house, Camden-town, Mr. Churchwarden Attenbotough having been elected to the chair, Mr. ECIIETT, member for S'. Pancras at the Me tropolitan Board, called attention to a scheme on foot at the Metropolitan Board, to erect offices and a board-room for the Board on the site 'at Spring gardens, forming the east side of the passage into Birdcage-walk. Upon entering into a guarantee to spend 15,000/. on the erection of the building they were to have the lease for 10 years, at 5001. per an num, and after that period for 99 years, at 350/. per annum. The probable outlay to begin with would be over 20,0001., which he thought monstrous, when it was not kaown how soon the Metropolitan Board might be snuffed out altogether. Mr. FURNISS moved a r e s o lution condemning such a contemplated outlay by the Metropolitan Board, instead of attending to, and providing a remedy for, the pestiferous state of the Thames, which was; the principal object for which they were appointed. He denounced the Metropolitan Board as a set of incompetents, and declared that since they had been in office, they had done nothing but create places, and call upon the rateyayers to pay fur their extravagance. Mr. J. BAKER seconded the motion. Mr. WILKINSON, the other member of the Metro politan Board, said he was quite certain that for the benefit of the ratepayers of the metropolis the Metropolitan Board ought not to be beholden to the City, or remain one hour longer holding their meetings at Guildhall. It placed them in a false position, and subjected their acts to all sorts of misconception. At the same time he doubted the propriety of building their new offices at Spring. gardens, when they nad sufficient freehold ground at Greek-street. Mr. HunsoN °moldered, instead of the Metropoli tan Board building a palace, they ought rather to be erecting a mausoleum—(laughter) —for the latter was the place they were soonest likely to require. They had doue so little for the main drainage, for which they were appointed, that the sooner they ceased to meet the better. Mr. Ross could not understand what there watt in the atmosphere of Guildhall that Mr. Wilkinson and the board wished to get out of it. The Com mon Council and citizens had always been the friends of liberty and of local self-government. So far, however, from censuring the Metropolitan Board, they were entitled to a debt of gratitude for refusing to sanction all the schemes which were desired to be rushed into for the purification of the Thames. They had thus saved the metropolis millions of money. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRETTINGHAKE also defended the Metropo litan Board for not sauctioniug utopian schemes, and moved an amendment, leaving out any con d4 =earn' for not prcceeding with the purification of the Thames. Mr. ChurchwardenCemEnoNsecondedtheamendi7, meut, and it was carried by a large majority, and ordered to be forwarded to the Metropolitan Board. THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION AT MANCLIES7'BR. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY. The adjourned inquiry into the cause of this distressing occurrence was resumed this morning before Mr. E. Herford, city coroner, and the jury Previously sworn, at the Coroner's Court, Ridge field. • , Mr. Heelis, solicitor, again attended to watch the inquiry on behalf of Messrs. Sharp, Stewart, and Co.; the proprietors of the Atlas Works. Mr. J. C. Forsyth, brother of the deceased manager, was present again, as also were several members of the firm. The inquiry being one of g reat interest, several engineers were p r e sen t, professionally and other wise. Tim court was crowded. _ _ The evidence given was entirely of a profession a l kind, Mr. Fairbairn and other engineers being examined. From their testimony it appeared that there had been no neglect or want of skill in the construction of the 13,iler, or the management of the engine. There was stat e d , h owever, to be a defec.t of str ngth in the exploded plate, arisingfrom the presexce of patches of Inferior iron in its in body, which could no be seen befor e b rea k age . M r . Fait bairn.,refcrenee to this, said—"lnexplana tion of such defect of manufacture, we have only . to refer to the acknowledged difficulties which iron• makershave to en counter i n rolling plates of large dimensions,. There is considerable danger of the ends bacoming defective, and this happens with the very beat makers." Verdict—" Accidental death." I
