M!!. bed by ty, no ration, A his been vision, this great evil should still flourish. But such a thought should not induce England to aban don her noble efforts, it should rather stimulate her to fresh exertions, and the writer of the present article suggests three modes for checking the traffic. The first is to compel Spain to close the great slave market at Cuba, and fulfil the treaty by which she was bound to do so. Secondly, to im prove the condition of the African at home, and to impress on those African chiefs, who are misled by the manoeuvres of the Cuban dealers, that the value of their subjects to them at home, as cultivators of the soil, would far exceed the trifle which they obtain for them. " Let our merchants turn their aeten lion to the natural wealth of Africa, and with the increased knowledge of the country afforded us by modern travellers, we may hope to teach our black brethren how to make themselves independent." The labours of Dr. Livingstone are a good begin ning for this scheme, but the suppression of the slave market at Cuba is undoubtedly the first step, and one which should not be delayed. A G,,vern ment which appears to have made treaties with the intention of breaking them, which was glad to escape the indignation of a great Power, and to s:cure the large indemnity offered, by an apparel'. t coucurrecce, should be taught that England w;ll no longer be trifled with, on a point which affects the lives and liberties of so many human brings. " Our advanc.) on Lucknow from the East-ward" is detailed by an Indian officer, and gives some in teresting detai:s. The second Sikh camp sign and the Coorg war of 1834 are also treated of in separate : . .rticles. The "Notes on Tvlilitary Science" are continued, and all inferination respecting the united services is, as usual, found iu the editor's portfolio and the Gent ray. Intellige nee. Colburrb's New Monthly.—" Artistic Travel," is the attractive title of the opening paper, carrying the reader, iu imagination, from the refreshing waters of the Thames to the canals of Venice, and the heights of the Alps. It is founded on the nar ratives of two French wanderers, told in a light and unimpressive:style. The paper will, nevertheless, afford some entertainment to the reader. The author of "Ashley" continues to trace the fortunes of Lord and Lady Hartledon ; the present instal ment dimly points to some terrible secret overhang ing Lord Hartledon. The lovers of romance will find much to gratify them in its mysterious shadows, and thenext part will probablyd;s close the mystery. It is written in the author's usual plea sant and natural manner, full of conversation and incident. " Rtadino•s in Current Literature, by Sir Nathaniel, treats of Merivale's valuable and laborious history of the Romans under the Empire. A story from the Dani4i, translated by Mrs. Bushby, that indefatigable student of Scandinavian literature, is entitled " The Bankrupt." It is not without its moral to those who devote themselves to the acquisition of wealth, thinking that every door must open to a golden key. There are several papers of travel, as is usual with this magazine. Among them we may mention "Afoot to Mexico," and "A Peep at the Far West." Iu the latter article some information about the Mormons is given, as the author joined a party who were on their way to the great Salt Lake. "Hans Ernst Mitterkang " is continued without much interest. Mr. Hog 's recent life of Shelley is criticised in an impartiaCmanner, giving a good deal of informa tion about the poet's earlier career to these unac quainted with the work. Mr. E. P. Rawsell con tributes an essay on "Special Services for the Working Classes," suggesting subjects for thought and reflection. The idea and intention are evidently good, but they are not clearly defined or carried out. Among the remaining topics are " Barante's Historical Studies," and the "Adventures of an old Sai!or," taken from the French. METROFOLIT2N BOARD OF WORKS. INTFRVIEW WITH THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS ON THE MAIN DRAINAGE QUESTION. The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Council. Chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. J. ThwAtes in the chair. The financial statement was preSented, which showed a general balance of 96,9721. Mr. WOOLATCH, the clerk, road the report of the depu tation appointed by the board ou Tuesday Fist to wait upon Lord John Manners and present a plan for the main intercepting drainage of tha metropolis. The deputation gave the following account of the interview which they had on -Thursday last with the First Commissioner of Public Works. "The chairman, accompanied by Lient.-Col. Kennedy, Mr. Carpnmel, Mr. Bristow, Mr. Drew, Mr. Bid good. and Mr. Savage; at tho time named, proceeded to the 0 lice of Works. The engineer and clerk of the board ware also in attendance. The plans, sections, and estimates having been presented to the First Commissioner, the ehai man proceeded to explain the general se )pe and leading fea tures of the scheme as finally approved by the- board, and especially called his attention to those portions of their resolutions relative to the proposed deodorisation of the western sewage at its junction with the Thames, as well as to the views of the board in relation to the construction of the low level sewer on the north side of the Thames in connection with an embankment, and also as to the proportion in which the board were prepared to contribute to the cost of such embankment ; and he re fer,ed to the contingencies affecting the eventual previ sion to be made on the completion of the works for the delivery or disposal of the sewage at the outlets. The Chairman also explained generally the reasons of the board for selecting the particular ontfalls adopted, and referred to the engineering and other objections to carrying the works further down the river; but he at the same time pointed out that if it should be deemed necessary tho works could be extended to any point that might be se lected; provided the requisite funds should be forthcoming from other sources than by direct rates on the metropolis. He also said, though the board coneiti,reti the schema submitted sufficient in an engineering and sanitary Point of view, and conformable to law, it might possibly become•necess,ry to modify the terms of the act, and to define the points of ontfall by express enactment, iu which ease the board would expect that the necessity amend ments in the net should be effected by the aid of the Go vernment. The Chairman also particularly directed the attention of his lordship to the letter which he bad ad dressed to the late Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir G. C. Lewis),•on the 17th of January, 1857, requesting the aid of her Majesty's Government in obtaining the funds necessary for carrying out the main drainage works and other metropolitan improvements, and adverted to the fact that no answer had been received to that communica tion. The Chairman entered into general explanations in corroboration of the views expressed in that letter, and urged the strong claims of the Board to the as-istance of the Government in raising funds, and the abeolute neces sity which elis',etl for placing at the disposal of the Board other sources of income than those derived frt m a direct tax on houses. " His lordship triads var'ous inquiries with a view of acquainting himself with the main features of the scheme submitted, and inquired particularly whether the Boaid would be willing so far to yield to th e d emands of the in habitants of Erith and other places on the banks of the Thames in case the discharge of the sewage at the outlet proposed should be found to be attended with nuisance, and engage to resort to proper means of deodorisation and disinfection? . " The Chairman replied that he apprehended it was the duty 'of the board, in this as in all other operations, to conduct them so as to make proper provisions to prevent nuisance, but that the deputation were not now in a posi tion to pledge themselves to the specific processes of doodo risatlon and its attendant obligations. " The First Commissioner also pointed to the circum stance that the p'an submitted showed a low level sewer along the foreshore of the Thames, and asked if the board had prepared a plan of Thames embankment, and if so, whefher the cost was included in the estimate laid before him ? • The Chairman explained that the plan of this board only regarded the Thames embankment in connection with the low lei el sewer, and that they were prepsied to contribute to the cost of that work a sum more than equivalent to the cost of carrying the sewer in any other line, and that he considered to be the limit of their obligation ; but that though the board deemed the Thames embankment to be of naramount importance as tending to promote the purifi cation and improvement of the Thames and other objects, yet. a construction of the embankment itself appeared to be the obligation of the Government and not of the Board ; he conceived it to bo beyond their present powers. "His lordship having listened to the explanations fur nished to him by the Chairman and the members of the depilation, requested that the principal points touched upon might be reduced into writing, to which the deputa tion assented. "'.Finally, the First Commissioner said that the plan of the Board should receive his best consideration, but as the points involved were not confined to merely engineering questions, but em braced legal and financial considerations, it would be necessary that he should confer with the other members of the Government in relation to the matters ad verted to without delay, and that his decision should be communicated to the board with all practicable despatch. (Signed) 1 ` J. TIIWAITES. "A, R. BRISTOW. "W. CARPMAEL. " HENRY BIDGOOD. " J. KENNEDY. " B. DREW." " J. SAVAGE. Mr. BRISTOW gave notice that at the next meeting of the board he would move, " That s h ou ld th e delivery of the sewage into tho river Thames under the conditions already determined upon by the boa.: d be found hereafter to cause a nuisance in the neighbourhood of the proposed outfall, and not to realise the expectations respecting it, the board hereby undertake to adopt such further mea sure's as may appear to the board to be necessary for the complete abatement of such nuilance." The report of the deputation was ordered to be printed, and also entered on the minutes. The other business, which WAS entirely of a formal character, was then disposed of, and the board adjourned.

The Bank of England return for the week end ing the 30th June is of a rather unsatisfactory character. The other securities, owing to the preparations made for the commercial payments of the 4th of the month, show an addition of over a million and a quarter, and the reserve of notes has been touched upon to the extent of about a million sterling. The bullion consignments upon the remittances to the con tinent shows a decrease of nearly one hundred thousand pounds sterling. The public deposits ' show slight augmentation, and the private deposits have increased over half a million. In the active circulation there is an increase of nearly one mil lion. In the other items of the balance sheet there is little alteration requiring special report, they I will be seen in the following table : Active circulation Increase Bullion Decrease n 0,424,755 975,563 17,938,447 94.689 Rest Increase Pullin deposits Increase Other deposits 13,201.963 Increase Seven-day and other bids Increase Government securities Increase Other securities Increase Notes unemployed Decrease When the mass of paper duo to day is liquidated, and the effect of the necessary preparations is past, the Money Market will probably become easier ; but it is evident that the supply is reduced, and that the wants of the commercial public are steadily on the increase. It is true the dividends, which will be shortly paid, will promote a beneficial in fluence, but the various railway calls and loan instalments must trench upon the resources of the public. At present the terms are fully maintained at 3 per cent, and hence the eaten - ,ive applications at the Bank. An addition of 1,800,000/ to the "other securities," in the space of a week, as ex hibited above, is evidence of a degree of pressure such as has not been experienced since the crisis.

The demand for India has increased to some extent, and the home trade an, also operating more freely, buyers !Aug now compelled to give rates which were asked last week, but not then obtainable. For the lighter weights of Img-cloths producer,' are well supplied with orders, and f.)r the better qualities of T- cloths there is some demand at firm prices, but the wekic's trarviactions have not amounted to much. Printing cloth is in a much im proved position compared with what it has been for several weeks past, and a slight advance has taken place "on the lowest price of 10 days ago. In yarns the market is now firm, at prices which last week and eveu on Tuesday were refused by purchasers, and a fair amount of business is doing. Buyers have operated pretty freely both for the home trade, for India, the Mediterranean, and Germany, especially for the latter. There is a con siderably more cheerful feeling manifest than at the commencement of the week, orders baying now accu mulated to a fair extent, and buyers deeming it prudent no longer to withhold them. LEEDS, July 2. —There is a fair demand for most kinds of combing wool, bat prices do not justify those paid to the f tuners. A speculative spirit seems to have sprung up during the last fe w weeks, againil which buyers need to ba cautioned, especially after tb e recent losses many have sustained. There is a good demand fer colonial wool at former prices ; and also for low foreign wool. PIRATES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.—RHODES, Jane 17.—Besides the band of eighteen pirates before re ported, there is another piratical boat with two lateen sails and seven men on board, in the vicinity of the Islands of Fourni, where they chased an Ottoman born barde about three weeks ago. TRIAL TRIP OF THE TASMANIAN.—The Royal Mail Company's screw steamship Tasmanian left Southamp ton on Thursday for a trial trip to Stokes Bay, and ac complished an average speed of 14. i knots per hour. She is commanded by Capt. Hyde, ana will be employed in carrying the mails from Melbourne to Suez. A curious report was made to the Mar.borough.street police magistrate yes' erday of a foreigner named Bryael boot, an egg-merchant, being found dead the previous night in one of the egg-boxes in his own shop, in Little Windmill-street. Deceased lived alone, and, it seems, used the egg-box regularly as a bed, with some rags by way of covering. It is singular that the wife of deceased died iu a similar bed a short time agn. THE REPRESENTATION OF WEST CORNWALL—The election of a representative of West Cornwall, to fill the Place vacant by the death of Mr. Michael Williams, will t a k e Place on Monday morning next, at Truro. Mr. John S t . , kubyn is the only gentleman likely to be nomi nated to fin Ulm important post.
