The session which has just been brought to a con clusion will long be remembered amongst public men. It will be regarded as an annus mirabilis by the Tapirs and Tadpoles, and all the red-tapist class. PALMERSTON had " won in a canter" at the election of 1857, and his opponents were "nowhere" It was another edition of the Eclipse expIoit—PALMERSTON first, the rest distanced. The country had enthusi astically responded to his appeal, and perhaps no Minister, since the abolition of rotten boroughs, was ever placed at the head of a stronger, more compact or more easily managed majority. But there are sage apophthegms that apply to parties who are supposed to be enabled " to kick the world before them."

Whatever the instructions last sent out to Governor DOUGLAS by the Colonial Secretary, but little good, we conjec ture, can reasonably be looked for in that direction, unless the proclamation, if' not actually recalled, be not gracefully and graciously modified in its tone. As it is—it is a temptation to misrule, an incentive to outbreak, a glove of lefiance thrown down per versely at the feet of an ally with whom we have been not very recently and with some difllculty,first on one side, then on theother, reconciled. If anything additional had been required in the way of illustra ting the folly of giving up entirely to the discretion of the servants of a fur-trading company of selfish monopolists the rule of such gigantic tracks of terri tory as those embraced within the compass of the Hudson's Thly dominions—that additional illustration would be discoverable at a glance in the proceedings upon which Governor DOUGLAS had adventured before ever dreaming of consulting the wishes of her MA JESTY'S Government. The creation of this new colony of British Columbia is inaugurative at last, however, we do believe, of a system, by the rapid development of which we may now reason ably hope to witness by the setting aside of that fatal Charter the ultimate and long-wished-for subversion of the Hudson's Bay Company as the delegated rulers of our uncultivated and unpeopled North American territory ! Territory, neverthe less, so soon as the incubus of the last two hun dred years shall have been removed—destined, we do believe, thanks immediately to the gold diggings upon Frazer's River, but indirectly to the all-mastering energies of the Anglo-Saxon race—to be cleared by the axe of the settler, to be brought under the share of his plough and under the spikes of his harrow, to be threaded by a grand trunk rail way having branches hither and thither ; in short, to be gifted with the gifts and blessed with the bles sings inseparable frim the benign influences of our modern civilization.

The authorities, civil and military, have made a regulation with respect to the coming Pies, which I think reflects credit alike upon their judgment and gallantry. They have assigned in " the port" as in "the place" to the launching of the Ville de Nantes, and the inauguration of the statue of the first Napo leon, all the tribunes that are erecting by them, for the accommodation of ladies exclusively. They alone are t;, be protected from the sun, and the chances of bad weather. All that is to be done for gentlemen favoured with tickets is " a reserved place ;" but beyond that no other privilege will be extended to the most favoured guest ; not even to the honourable members of the House of Commons, whose appear ance in Cherbourg is next to that of the Emperor and the Queen, look forward to with curiosity. They certainly will receive a cordial welcome ; and not the less so because their simple guest will be regardod as most strange to a people who have no idea of great influence, exalted rank, and high station, apart from an official costume. FETES AT CHERBOURG. CHERBOURG, AUG. 2. It would be a very ill-natured thing to do to give an accurate and detailed account of Cherbourg pre cisely as it appears to-day. It would be as ill natured as to exhibit scene -painting by day-light, or to draw up the curtain before the prompter's bell was rung and catch the actors as they were pre paring and dressing for their respective parts. To day Cherbourg is a city of scaffoldings, of eagles in clutches, and banners in bundles, of gilded staves faggotted, of wreaths of laurel scattered on the ground, and glistering imperial diadems in baskets. It is a manufactory of the raw materials which have yet to be worked up with that taste and genius for decoration for which the French have been in all ages justly distinguished. What the loyal citizens of Cherbourg are. doing to exhibit their re spect for the Emperor must therefore remain a secret ; and I certainly shall not attempt to give a description of it until Wednesday next. One portion of the spectacle to be seen to-day I cannot refrain from referring to. It is the manner in which its streets are crowded, and, above all, that portion of the city adjoining to the military port and the streets leading to it. These are literally cramme d as a fair—as a Greenwich fair, when Greenwich fair was worth seeing. The hundreds pouring into Cherbourg for the past week are to-day to be reckoned by thousands ; and they have come by all sorts of conveyances from the new railway to the old clumsy market—garden cart—impeding the one by their numbers, compelling the traia to be two hours after its time; and as regards the other, the common old-fashioned mode of conveyance blocking up the reads, and in some parts making them almost impassable. But the numbers to-day, I am informed, are as nothing contrasted with what it is more than surmised—it is calculated—will be here to-morrow. I was told by one enthusiastic gentleman that there is to arrive by a single train not less than 10,000 per sons! an assertion of which I doubt the accuracy, because I believe it would be impossible to convey any such number on a railway, which is, as yet, not fully completed. However, the exaggeration itself gives as idea of the numbers that are coming, and are sure (however they contrive to come) to be here to greet the Emperor and Empress upon their first appearance in Cherbourg. All who arrive this day point their steps in the same direction—it is to "the port"—that is to the grind war marine harbour which Napoleon I. re vived, and his nephew has completed. This crowd is remarkable—first, the number of women with their children that are engaged in seeing the new harbour; and then it is remarkable that the nineteen twentieths of it are composed of the agricultural classes, conartably-clad farmers and well-clothed labourers, with their strong, healthy, and happy looking families. All these seemed to me to take a personal interest in the completion of the great Napoleonic idea—Cherbourg l—and to feel a pride in examining the magnificent works carrying on, and in looking with wonder upon that new dock, which is the especial work of "their" Emperor. I can say, from my knowledge of Brittany, that the feelings which I saw this day exhibited by the farmers and peasantry of Normandy with regard to the existing dynasty, is precisely the same in the adjoining province. The Emperor is with them positively the most popular ruler to which France has been subjected since 1815. If there be any doubt stilt entertained in England that the chosen chief of the agricultural classes in this empire is Napoleon 111., then I am quite sure that the occurrences of this day, and of this week, will be sufficient to dissipate any such doubt—to put an end, and for ever, to all controversy on the point. A sight, no matter how cursory—such, for instance, as your correspondent had only time to bestow upon the "port militaire"-- 7 is sufficient to add to the Em peror's popularity amongst all classes of Frenchmen. I intend to praise it when I say that it is one of those marvellous works of mare that - is worthy of the an cient Romans, or of . the mighty genius for such un del takings which has characteriseel the English merchants of the current century. I never before saw in France anything which made me Lel as if I was still in England until I examined this day the "military post" of Cherbourg. You are reminded of Southampton, of Liverpool, and of Holyhead con verted into a second Woolwich by a view of the in terior of this harbour. The wonderful things Eng land has done for commerce, and not for war, France has here constructed both for war and commerce. The "military pert" of Cherbourg is in itself a thing apart from all ethers ; it is an enormous forti fication, with its double-Glitch glacis and ramparts, and, as it appears to me, constructed on the same plan as •the Dunkirk defences. '['his fortification stands away from the city, and would be as difficult to be assailed from the laud as the sea. I shall merely recapitulate the different compartments and piles of buildings filled with workmen that are to be found within the inner lines of defence of this fortress— their mere names, without stopping to give a descrip tion of the works carried on in them, will convey some idea of the extent of the new military port. They are the grand hangar, the salle des gabaris, the atelier de la scierie meeanique, the atelier des chaloupes et canots, the halle de montage, the atelier des martinets, the atelier des machines, the atelier de la fonderie, the atelier a Bois enclosing the atelier de la tounellerie et avirounerie, the atelier de la sculptors, the ponlierie, the atelier des cabestaw, the ateliers de peiuture and menuiserie, and the atelier des modeles. Nine of these are crowded together. A whole army of a 100,000 men, perhaps more, could be manoeuvred in the open ,spaces that lie between them and the docks, for, also enclosed within the military defences of the fortifications, with a single opening to the sea, are three huge docks. the bassin Napoleon 1., the bassin Charles X., and the grand dock, the bassin Napoleon 111.,. which is now dry, and the flooding of which, with the launch ing of the Ville de Nantes, are to form, as I have already mentioned, the main local attraction to the Cherbourgfites. In addition to the workshops .for the construction of a warlike navy, and of the docks, to be found We cannot sufficiently express our thanks and gratitude for the numerous expressions of sympathy and kindness, and tenders of valuable assistance, that have tlowed in from every direction. We have already expressed our deep obligation to the Morning Post, and the spirited and liberal gentlemen by whom it is controlled and directed, for the promptitude with which they placed all the resources of their magnificent establishment at our disposal. Our neighbours proved themselves to be truly friends, and everything calculated to mitigate the calamity was freely offered. As we stated yesterday, we are fully covered by assurances with highly respectable offices. There was no interruption to our business. The Sun ap peared at the usual hour yesterday, and we con fidently expect that there will be no diminution either in the quantity or quality of its contents. There is one mistake into which some of our con temporaries have fallen, which requires correction. Neither Mr. YOUNG nor the inmates of the house were compelled to make so precipitate a retreat as was indicated ; in fact they would not, however strong the kind importunities for their safety. Some valuable account books and other im portant documents were saved, and it was in doing so that Mr. Munn() YOUNG received the injuries alluded to in our impression of yesterday, but from which he is rapidly recovering. Indeed he never left the premises until the fire had been completely subdued. FRANCE. (By Submarine anti British Telegraph.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, The Emperor and Emiaess arrived at Mantes, and were received by the Prefect of the Seine and Oise and the other authorities. They were raptur ously applauded by the people. At Evreux, their Majesties proceeded to the Pre fecture in the midst of cries of "Vive l'Empereur!" " Vive I'lmperatrice !" " Vive le Prince Imperial !" Their entry into Caen was a veritable ovation. The corteire traversed the town, which was wholly illuminated and with splendid decorations. At this hour (nine o'clock at night), their Majes ties are entering the Hotel de Ville, to assist at the public ball given there. Once more, then, we tender our heartfelt thanks to all who have proffered their friendly and valuable aid and assistance—and we beg to assure them that they are not the less highly appreciated because they have not been required. PARIS, TUESDAY, 6 P.M. The Emperor, the Empress, and their suite left St. Cloud this morning at half-past nine for Caen, on their way to Cherbourg. The imperial train left the station of the Rue d'Amsterdam at nine o'clock, conveying Count de Chasseloup Laubat, Baron Benoist-d'Azy, Viscount Duchatel, M. Emile Pereire, M. Laffitte, M. Dclessert, M. Dailly, and M. Simons, directors of the 'Western Railway, M. de Laperiere, manager of the working, and M. Coindart, the secre tary. A few privileged persons had also obtained the favour of travelling in some of the carriages. On the arrival of the train at St. Cloud, a short pause ensued, after which their majesties took their places in one of the imperial carriages, accompanied by Marshal Valliant and M. Rouher, Ministers of War and Public Works (Admiral Hamelin, Minister of Marine, had gone the day before); the Princess d'Essling, Countess de Labedoyere, and Countess de Lourrnel, ladies of honour to the Empress ; Gens. Fleury nod Niel, first equerry and aide-de-camp to his Majesty; and the other personages appointed to form part of the imperial suite. A considerable crowd had collected in the neighbourhood and loudly cheered their Majesties. The train then took its departure, a short stay having to be made at Mantes, Evreux, and Lisieux, at each of which places there is to be a reception of the authorities and principal inhatitants. The calculation made was that their Majesties would arrive at Caen about five in the evening, but the probability is that, owing to the incidents of the journey, the hour will be later. Accounts from Posen in the German journals state that the revolutionary committee of London has recently distributed in Poland copies of a manifesto exciting the Poles to rebellion. A copy has been seiz.:d by the authorities of Posen. The King of the Belgians arrived the day before yesterday in Brussels from Laeken, and after having given an audience to the Portuguese'Minister and other persous of distinction, attended divine service in the palace chapel. His Majesty afterwards pre sided at a council of ministers. The Duke and Duchess de Brabant also visited the capital, and in the afternoon proceeded, both on horseback, to the frir of Ixelles where they were received with great enthusiasm by the crowd. The King and their Royal Highnesses returned in the evening to Laeken. The accounts of the movements of the Queen of Spain, given in the Madrid journals of the 30th ult., continue to be in arrear of those received direct by telegraph ; they only announce that the Queen re mained at Leon, and that her Majesty was to set out in the morning of the 31st ult. for Mieres. Like other towns passed through by the Queen, Leon was filled by the populations of villages f)r miles around; all the private houses and public edifices were decked with flags; and the greatest enthu.siasm in honour of her Majesty was displayed by all classes. The Government is said to have definitively resolved to divide Spain into five great military commands, and to confide the principal oae, that of the provinces of Madrid, Valencia, and the Balearic Isles, to the Marques del Duero; but the sanction of the Cortes will be necessary for the execution of the project. All the journals complain of the rigour of the ex isting law on the press, and call on the Government to modify it ; it was doubted, however, that the cabinet would do so, unless authorised by the Par liament. The Discussion had been seized. A Council of Ministers was held yesterday fore noon at Ste Cloud, tho Emperor presiding. Prince Jerome left the Palace of Meudon yester day for Havre, where he intends to pass a part of the summer. His Imperial Highness left Paris by a special train . at 12 o'clock. Marshal Narvaez has left Paris for Vichy. M. Delangle, Minister of the Interior, has ad dressed a circular to the prefects of departments on the subject of the late law on the false assumption of titles of nobility. He particularly recommends them to pay strict attention that the functionaries whose business it is to deliver passports do not insert in those documents titles to which the persons apply ing are not legally entitled. In order to verify their allegation the persons using those titles are to be accompanied by two witnesses to identify them, and they may be also called on to produce an extract from the register of their birth. The Minister con cludes by recommending prudence and discernment to the agents of authority, so that the precautions prescribed may not have the appearance of vexatious or inquisitorial proceedings. within the walls of the fortification, there are three large buildings to , be added—the boulergerie de la marine, the caserne des equipages de la fotte, the corderie, the Majorit6 de la Marine (including several departments), the naagasin generns, the atelier de la g arniture, the atelier de la voilerie and of contare, the ateliers des Lord Strangforcl, Secretary to the Embassy at Constantinople, embarked in the evening of the 31st ult., at Marseilles for the Turkish capital. " According to intelligence received from the Hague," says the Presse, " the King of Holland has expressed his determination to abdicate. The Prince of Orange will be 18 years of age on the 4th Sep tember, then attaining his majority. It is even said that King William who is at present at Wies baden, will not return to Holland. The motives of this determination are unknown ; but it is remem bered that at the death of his father, the present King, who was then in England, refused at fiat to ascend the throne, and did not return to Holland until after having hesitated some time."

The Alhambra spoke the steam-ship Colombo, steering for Gibraltar; the St. Lucia, from Loudon to Oporto; and the Tagus, steering out of Vigo Bay. THE COLLISION AT THE WILLESDEN JU.N C T 1 0 N. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE ENGINE DRIVER. The adjourned investigation into the circumstances con necied with the late fatal railway collision at the Willesden junction of the London and North Western Railway was resume] last evening before Mr. Wakley, the coroner, and a jury, at the Sussex Arms Tavern, Shepherd's-bush, the place where it was previously held not affording sufficient accotn modation. Mr. Bruyeres, general superintendent; Mr. D. Steven son, superintendent of the goods department; Mr. Beres furd, superintendent of police; and Mr. Henderson, loco motive superintendent at Camden station of the London and North Western Railway, were again present. The coror.er, on taking his seat, inquired if Henry Lamb, the absconded pf,in;sinan, lied been apprehended; and being answered in the negative by Mr. lirtryeres and Mr. Beres ford, he remarked that the ease must proceed in his absence. Cross, the policeman at the junction, was recalled, and said had Lamb done his duty he would have lat the points alone, the effect of which would have been that the 4 o'clock train would have kept straight down the main line. I did not see Lamb at the points either IY3fore or after the collision. Had it been the Kew train, I should have whistled to the pointsrnan with a whistle I have for the purpose, supposing that I had net seen him at the points. I have been five years at the junction, alternately for a fortnight at the points and then at the signal box. In reference to the prevention of such accidents, I think it would be edvisabte that there should not be a change in the duties of men from points to telegraph and telegraph to the roilits.. Coroner—What objection would there be for the telegraph box to be just opposi;e tt.e points, s that the pointsman ; would be within Mating of the signal man ? We wish to know how these accidents may be prevented. Only one life has been lost now, but there might have been hundreds of lives lot. Unless we con suggest some remedy that may be the case some day from a similar accident. Mr. Bruyeres explained that if the signals and the points were so close as suggested, it would create a divided respon sibility, and would be attended with greater danger than otherwise. Evidence continued—l am quite sure Lamb was sober. He was himself shunting the coal train across the junction just before the collision. I did nor see Lamb at the points at all. Had the down train been the Kew train I should have stopped it, seeing that the coal trucks were. not shunted at The Coroner—Don't yon think, Mr. Bruyeres, that there should be two men, instead of one man, kept at these points. The prospect for the public safety is awful. Mr. Bruyeres considered that to place two men at the points would be attended wieh greater danger, as the men ereold get talking and neglecting; their duty. Mr. H. Bertsford, superintendent of the North-Western Railway Police, proved that he had taken steps for adver tising. the absconding pointsmen, Lleary Lamb, in the Police Gazette, bat he had not yet been hearvl of. The Coroner—Mr. Bruyeres, earl you state what can be done to prevent eimilar accidents ? Mr. Bruyeres—l cannot suggest anything. Every pre eausion is taken, and the fact of the veti;te boards being in front of the Kew engines is coiesidered sufficient distinction between the Kew and the main line trains. The Coroner— It is a fearful thing fur ihe public that an accident of this Mad shtuld happen, and that the public should be told that nothing can be none fur their protection. Mr. Bruyeres could not see what could be done, unless theypould melte human beings not to do such extraordinary things as lied been done in this case. The Kew trains came so slow to the junction that you could almost walk as fast, whereas the speed at which this train was coming down ought alone to have convinced Lamb that It was not a Kew train. In accordance with his printed regulations, had a Kew train been coming at such a speed it would have been Lamb's duty not to have turned it into the Kew litre. The Ceroner—There never was an accident in the world proved more clearly to have resulted from the carelessness of one person. Mr. Bruyeres was here sworn, and in answer to questions, said that there had been no complaints against Lamb, who was a careful and steady man. With reference to the sug gestion of Cross, he disagreed with it, because by placing the men alternately at the points they had four good men who unde: . stood both the points and working the telPgraphs. The latter was the most responsible duty as well as the most severe. There being no further evidence, The Coroner said there could be no doubt but that the de ceased, William Pine, the engine driver, came by his death in consequence of the culpabJe conduct et Henry Lamb, the poiutsman. They could not believe be wilfully did it, for if so, it would be one of the most aggravated murders ever perpetrated. As it was, the case amounted to one of man slaughter at least. The witness Cross, he thought, had made an important suggestion which it would be well to consider, namely, that of keeping men permanently at either telegraph or points. He (the cornier) should have been exceedingly glad if Mr. Bruyeres-had been able to sug gest something fbr the safety of the public. The jury then retired; and, after an'absenee of half-an hour in consultation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Henry Lamb, and appended the following :—" The jury recommend that an extra man should be appointed to work the points, and that the men should be confined to that work, and nothing else. A'so, that the telegraph sig nal box should be placed just opposite the points. The jury also attach great blame to tie manager of the North Lon don Railway in consequence of the irregularities that mink the time of starting the Kew trains from their stations." The proceedings then terminated. Of all these works, that which is the principal object of attraction with all to-day's visitors is the Dock of Napoleon 111. This dock is, I find by French measurement, 420 metres long by 200 broad, and nearly 18 metres in depth. It is to be hereafter connected with the Dock of Charles X.; and, like he others, one camiot help feeling astonishment at ;he construction of such works out of the solid rock. The French may justly be proud of having brought so difficult an undert a ki ng t o so su ccessful a conclu- It is to see what has been done by untiring energy and a vast expenditure of time and money that our Queen. has been-invited to Cherbourg ; and already there are great preparations making in the "military port % to do honour to the Sovt-reign of England.

THIRD EDITION. STADE TOLLS. The following is the report of the select com mittee appointed to inquire into the qrigin of the claim of the Government cf Hanover to levy the Snide tolls, to consider in what degree they are de trimental-to the commerce of the United Kingdom, and the effect of giving notice to determine the treaty under which this country has assented to the payment of such tolls for a limited period : " 1. That the foundation of the claim of Hanover to levy the Stade toll wa4 a treaty with Denrcark in 1719 A.D., 11114 11 fursh2.l- treaty with Sweden in 1719, by which, what ever tight those countries pixses:ed was transferred to the Elector if Hanover. " 2 Ti.;:t tto pr , tportion of Stade toll to freight in British vt , ips ft ow Hull to Hamburg is at the prevent time oa a hale- or span silk 113 per cent.; on a bale of cotton goods, 142 per cent.; and on a bale of woollen yarn, 36 cent. the average annual amount cf Stark. tolls levied on cargoes under the British flag has risen from 13 103. per 100 tuns British in IEI7, to £4 Os. 4d. in 1805. "3. That the increase on British tonnage entering tl3e part of Hamburg has been 102 per cent. since 1849, while the increase on Hamburg tonnage has been 248 per cent. since 1849; and the foreign tonnage, exclusive of Briti-h air; Hamburg, f nteting the port cf Hamburg, has, (luring the same period, increa,ed 99 per cent. "4. That the Stade toll is injurious to the trade and shipping of the United Kingdom. . . " 5. That the tax is spccrally prejudicial to the part of our produce and trade which has to compete in foreign markets with similar articles not subject to the tax, and this is felt sensibly in the coal trade, and particularly in the export r. , f the less valuable descrip'ions of coal. "6. Teat the property of Hamburg citizens, and carried in llarnbw‘:2 rre exempt from the Stade toll, and British ships are thereby exposed to an unfair compcti tiol. "7. That the general trade to Hamburg, notwithstanding the discouruernent occasioned by the tax, has more than doublrd within the last years. "8. That tide trade to /I arburg, which is free from Stadc toll, has risen in a Still more striking ratio ; that of Bremen. Elsfleth toll on the Weser bating ceased, ai,d that of Stettin <the Sound does having'been abolished), have also increased in a very large proportion. "0. That the Stale t it Citf , rs front the Sound dues, is the Sound does were a tax charged not only upon articles of export, but also on articles of general use im ported into the:Ur.it 0 Kingdom ; but the Stade toll is levied on export:, fr Orn end not on imports into the United Kingdom. "10. Tisat it does not appear that any service whatever is rendered ty Hanover in return f..,r the tax levied upon the commel-e, , of Grew Britain. "11. Trat if the treaty of 1844, by which the United Kingdom is bound ibr n limited period to accent to the pay. merit of tlie .:Bta , e tell, were determincii by notice pur,u ant to the terms thereof, hut little itjury or inconvenience would arise to the trade of this conwry.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS- The . ordinary meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Worke was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, buildhati--Mv J. Thwaites in the chair. The beard met for the purpose of considering the subject; for the main drainage of the metropolis. Mr. DOULTON, who had given notice of the following resolutions, said he wished to withdraw then:, which was agreed to Whereas this hoard did on Ist January last resolve..." That, considering the serious evils represented by the memorial from the vestry of Camberwell to have arisen and to be likely to arise front the existing co ton of the sewer/ in the Surrey and Kent district, and 41,10dering also thit tne works of the main drainage, however soon they may be commenced, will not for several years be sufficiently ad vance, to relieve that district of those evils, a pumping station be erected at eke spot indicated by the engi neer, for the purpose of producing a continual dis charge from the sewers, at an estimated expense foe construction of £7,000, and for maintenance of £2,8 00 per annum.' And whereas, a hill has been introduced by her Majesty's Government for facilitating the execution of the said main drainage works ; and seeing that it is ex pedient to avoid as far as may be the construction of works the a temporary purpose only, that the engineer be directed to prepare plans, sections, and estimates for the construction of a sewer from it point in Greenwich Marshes, near the South-Eastern Railway Wharf; to the junction of the Bart and Deptford Lower-road sewers, together with reservoirs, pumping stations, and such other works as may be necessary for deodorising during the whole year. " Whereas the drainage of that portion of the metropal kerma as the western division presents considerable difficul ties under any system of main drainage ; and whereas; Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazatgette have reported it as their opinion that if brought to a remote outfall it would add at least ene',so,ooo to the cost (' Report on Main Drain age,' Gth April, .18a8, p. 87), and have since reported that the entire charge of deetiorisatiou will amount to the insig nificant sum of 2d. per head annually; that it is now an established fact that the lime process answers well, that it does not produce a ni.a . eance, that the supernatant fluid does not purify atter being allowed to run off into a river, and it is disproved that the coecretnins which might prove injurious to navigation are formed ('BriefObeervations,'July 20,185 8 , p.B), and whereas it i s desirable, teefore elealing with the whols sewage of the metropoli s , to have s 'etanatetory evidence 0 1 the efficiency of tee process of deodorinatien to remedy the evils complained of, as well as of the meet economical and efficient application of pumping to the drainage of a love district. And whereas the w e stern di s t r i cts pr oent peculia r facilities; and that the works may, if coinummeed einatne diately, be completed within a v e r y s h or t period, tne giueer be therefore directed to prepare, with all dh7Pao the several plans and estimates for draining the we ltl r r area, and for deodorising the sewage pr ev i ous . t o i ts ,"fi le charge into the river during the whole year. " Whereas the Committee et' Works, &c., reported to the' board on 21st May last, ' that they had directed their atten tion to tile resolutioegf the board of the '26th March last (No. 17), referring to them the memorial front the vestry of Islington calling attention to that portion of the Hackney' brook sewer which passes through the parish of Islington, alleging that the sewer is a great nuisance and injurious to health, that great injury is caused to property in the parish in consequence- of the brook not being adequate to carry off the storm waters, and that they were adviaed that permanent works could be executed which would fell iuto any scheme w hi c h m i g h t h ereafter b e adopte d to e the drainage of the metropolis, and praying that the boars* would give such directions as might be necessary for thf abatement of the nuisance; and that their attention bad also been turned to the resolution of the board of the 30th April last (NO. 5), referring to the committee the memorial from the Board of Work far the Hackney district, pointing eut the offensive state of the sewersip question, and praying the board to take the matter into their immediate considera" Lion, and to direct e ffe ctua l means to be adopted at once for abating the nuisance complained of; that the committee, had carefully considered the subject of the above references,' and had received from the engineer of the board a repert 00 the first -mentioned memorial, which they submitted for the informatioe of the board, together with a plan showing the works proposed in such report," and did recommend—welat that part of the Hackney Brook sewer, extending from the Holloway-road to the River Lea, be straightened and covered over, as shown upon the plan and section accompanying such report, at an estimated cost of £112,0002 And whereat the said recommendation was postponed on account of the said work having been included in the plan of main drainage submitted by the board to the First Commissioner for his d approval on Ist July last. And whereas the urgency of the said work continues to increase, and its adoption is indepen dent of, and will not prejudice, any scheme of main drainage that may hereafter be adopted; that the engineer be directed to prepare forthwith plans, sections, and specifications, with a view to advertising for tenders for the immediate execution of the work." Mr. LESLIE then moved—" That, under the powers given to the Metropolitan Board of Works by the Act for this amendment of the Metroputis Local Management Act, for the purposes of the main drainage, it is not desirable either its sanitary or economical view to provide for the removal of the macadamised road grit and filth, or the mud and. filth, from the paved streets, or the mud and filth from the gra velled roads of tee metropolis, as those matters can, snare beneficially for the public it felth, and at a less cost to the rate payers, be removed by the local authorities of the parishes and districts by the scam' eers' carts. That it is not desirable to provide for tie removal of the rain water which falls on the surface of the metropolis through the sewers, as it is ab':olutely necessary for the navigation of the Thames to pent' the whole rainfall into the river in every district along its banks, at the nearest points to where it falls, by eurfac,e eraa;e drains, having no coeeection with the sewers, by gully. er a ', ventilating gratings. Th a t it i s expe di ent to remove throng-If' the sewers only tire personal excrete and house drainage, ca l culating the same at six cubic feet per head daily for 31 millions of people." Mr LESLIE presented the following proposition from Mrs R. 11. Criekmer for taking off the sewage of the metropolis, as defined in the preceding resolution, to which, after due consideration by the Metropolitan Board of Weeks, it should be found practical and desirable; that the ratepayers of the metropolis would be saved at least two millions of the money proposed to be guaranteed by the Government for main drainage purposes, and without creating any nuisance : "101, Borot4,h-road, Southwark, 1858. "Sir,—l purpose receiving the house sewage as you have proposed separate from the rain and surface waters, &c., and to take the whole off geologically through the various stratas of the London Basin so that it shall ultimately rum out through such stratas to and under the sea. And the power thus obtained by sewage water running or passing down a shaft to such stratas I propose to employ in raising pure water for the use of the metropolis to be applied to any useful and sanitary purpose.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant, "R.
