NORTHRRN OUTFALL SEWER.-THE CHIEF ENGINEER. AND MR, FULNESS. Mr. BAZALGETTE read a report to the Board to the fol lowing purport : " Mr. Furness has this day sent in his bill for work done under the contract up to the present time, upon which he claims a large balance as due to him, and requests an early payment on account. " After the remarks which have been made out of doors respecting this and the Northern Outfall Reservoir Con tracts, it would be more satisfactory to me, and I hope to the Board, that these accounts should be investigated and certified by some independent engineer of high reputation, to be nominated by the Board. Ido not know what the fee of such an engineer would be, but I would suppose about 100 guineas ; and so anxious am I that the Board should adopt the course I now suggest, that I am willing that that sum should be deducted from my salary, for the payment of his fee.

" I presume the nomination of an engineer by the Board would constitute him ' the engineer of the Board' for this purpose, under the terms of the specification, but, if not, it would probably be necessary that Mr. Furness should asssent to the substitution of the name of the engineer so appointed for mine in this matter, and to agree to abide by his decision. " J. W. BAZALGETTE, Engineer." Mr. LE BRETON moved the adoption of the report. Mr. PHILLIPS seconded the motion. A discussion ensued, in which several members of the Board took part, and the conduct of the chief engineer in this matter was highly eulogised; but many of the mem_ bers, if not all, repudiated the idea that the cost of reference should fall upon their engineer. Mr. WESTERTON said that having brought these charges in the belief that they were true, he subsequently thought it a duty to examine the matter for himself. Ho suggested his views to his colleague (Major Lyon), and also invited Mr. Beale and a friend of that gentleman to join in the inspec tion of the works. The first charge was that the contractor had not put down puddling clay over the crown of the sewer in the terms of the contract. The explanation was, that a road was likely to be made over the crown of the sewer, and that as that was a bad foundation for such apurpose concrete had been substituted. The next inquiry made was as to the reason why only four roads had been constructed by the contractor, whereas by his contract 30 roads were contem plated. The answer was plain enough, viz., that at present four roadsanswered all the purposes of the traffic, but that the contractor was prepared to carry out his contract to its full extent if required.

It was also stated that the bricks, according to the contract, ought to have been protected by a quickset hedge. The explanation was, that there had not been time enough allowed to do it, considering all the surrounding cir cumstances, weather, &c.; which he (Mr, Westerton) con sidered as satisfactory. There were other charges, but we did not think it necessary to follow out the explanations beyond saying that they were deemed perfectly satisfactory by the parties making the investigation. THE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No, 11 CCXXXIII., is Published THIS DAY. By Mr. New—l do not speak so positively to the broken as to the unbroken beam ; but I swear it is Baltic timber, and either Dantzic or Memel. There is no sap. The knots were not visible when the timber was purchased. The broken timber is very free from knots, and it is the kind of timber usually used for building purposes. I account for the accident by over pressure. Ido not agree with the ar chitect for the Board of Works that the beam should bear a weight of 40 tons. I have known beams to give way before, but I do not remember that they were of the same dimensions as the one in question, CONTENTS. I. illiam Blake the Artist. 11.

Thomas Piper, examined by 11r. Sergeant Atkinson—l was many years a builder, but am now a surveyor. I have examined the timber lying on the table. The unbroken timber is Dantzic. I never knew Dantzic timber to be without knots. The broken beam is also Dantzic timber. The top of a room of the construction of the one in ques tion, heated with the gas and stove, would likely have a temperature of 80 or 90, while the body would be lower. By Mr. New.—The effect of the stove would be to dry the timber very rapidly. I attribute this accident to the construction of the building. I agree that these beams are calculated to bear 40 tons, so far as the dimensions are con cerned. It has been weakened by the morticing in of the joist, which would weaken the beam and cut the fibre of the timber to within six inches. The effect of that is, that the beam, instead of having its bearing powers 12 by 12, has a bearing power only a little above 12 by 6, therefore it was reduced to less than half its strength. By the Coroner—That would sustain about 16 tons. I am speaking from memory. I think if the room was quite full of grown persons, and they were in agitation, my theory is, that as soon as this beam gave way it took the weight of the two bays. I think seven tons would be the weight of persons occupying a space of 20 feet. In this calculation I allow nothing for tlie excitement, as I think that would double that weight.

If instead of the joists being tongued in, they had been laid on, they would have been much stronger. I think the beams are of the best description of Baltic timber. The danger would occur more from looseness than knots. Professionally it is my opinion that when the timber was put up it would pass free from all defects.

" Extract of the minutes of the proceedings of the Ken sington Vestry on Wednesday, the Bth February, 1865 William Harris Hunt in the chair : 44 Th e vestry then proceeded to consider the report of the Main Drainage Committee of the Metropolit an B oar d of Works on the evidence given before a committee of the House of. Commons on the sewage of the metropolis, and some statements which have been made in the metropolitan vestries and district boards in reference thereto. " Whereupon it was moved by Mr. Richardson that this vestry, fully admitting that some of the charges made against the Metropolitan Board of Works are destitute of foundation, and that others have been successfully rebutted by evidence, does not consider it necessary to offer any opinion either in favour or against the policy adopted by that Board ; but the members of the Kensington Vestry de sire to place on record the high sense they entertain of the ability and integrity of their representative, Mr. Freeman.' " The motion was seconded by Mr. Sparrow. " Tho following amendment was then moved byMr.Brown and seconded by Mr. Watts : That thii meeting is of opinion that the said report is of an incomplete and unsatisfactory nature, and that such charges ought to have been investigated by an impartial tribunal, and not by a private committee of the Board, who without giving notice to the parties making such charges in order that they might have had an opportunity of sub stantiating the same, did adjudicate upon them, and acquit the Board and its engineer of all blame.' "A division being called, the vestry divided, whereupon the Chairman announced the result of such division as fol lows :—For the amendment 5, against it 50. " The Chairman then put the original Motion, and de■ dined the same carried, with one dissentient." The Field-Marshal Commander-in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Wednesday, the 15th inst. On account of the crowded state of the garrison at Woolwich Lieut. Parker and a detachment of 50 non-commissioned officers and men of the local division of Royal Marine Light Infantry yesterday left head-quarters for Deptford, and orders were received from the Horse Guards, to hold in readi ness the Ist battalion sth Fusiliers, in command of Col. W. C. Master, C. 8., to proceed to Dublin at an early date. The battalion was yesterday mus tered in full strength on the Royal Artillery parade, in command of Major Bigge, to the number of 750 of all ranks. The departure of the regiment from. Woolwich will be generally regretted, on account of its temperate and well-behaved conduct during its stay in the garrison. Two experimental trips have been made this week at Plymouth by the ironcased screw steamship Zea lous, 20, 3,716 tons, and engines of 800-horse power. She was tested on both occasions under the superin tendence of Capt. W. Edmonstone, C. 8., of the guardship of the steamship Indus, and the Govern ment engineers from Keyham steamyard, on the part of the Lords of the Admiralty, and of Mr. Warrener on the part of the manufacturers of the engines, Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and Field. At the measured mile on Wednesday two runs only were made, as the weather subsequently became too thick to distinguish the marks with accuracy. Each run occupied the same time-4 min. 50 sec., equal to 12.416 knots. The wind was from the north west, with a force of from two to three, and the sea was smooth. On Thursday the weather was perfectly clear, the wind from the north-west, with a force of from four to five, and the sea was smooth. Under full power she made six runs, which pro duced a mean rate of 12.596 knots ; under half -boiler power four runs gave a mean of 10.193 knots. These results were considered very satisfactory. The Zealous is rigged, but her armament is not on board. She had only 40 tons of coal ; her draught is 21ft. Bin. forward, and 22ft. aft. The load on the safety valve was 201 b., and on the boilers 201 b. ; vacuum in condensers fore and aft, 24in. ; half power, 25 ; revolutions of engines ; maximum, 58 mean, 56 ; half power, 48 and 47i ; weather baro- _ . meter, 30.40. From the time of moving the tele graph the engines were stopped in 13 seconds ; she started ahead in seven, and stopped in 20 seconds. The temperatures were taken at noon—at 2 p.m., and at 4 p.m. ; on each occasion they were—on deck 42 deg., and in the engine room 56 deg., in the fore stoke-hole 96 deg. The engines are consi dered to have worked very satisfactorily ; there were no hot bearings, and the boilers'did not prime, and gave an abundance of steam. The screw of the Zealous is four bladed, in diameter 19ft., and pitch 24ft. It was constructed by Messrs. Maudslay and Co., according to their mode. The engines are similar to those on board the Gibraltar and De fiance. She was placed . on Friday in the steamyard at Keyham, to be fitted for the first division of the steam reserve in Hamoaze. The paddlewheel steam vessel Medusa, Master Commanding John H. Allard, left Plymouth on Thursday evening, having in tow the hull of the old sailing frigate Indefatigable, 50, for Liverpool, where she is to be converted into a reformatory ship for boys. The screw steam gunboat Landrail left Plymouth on Friday for the West Coast of Africa. The name of Gen. Sir J. W. Sleigh, who is just dead, is associated with many of the leading mili tary engagements of the country. The deceased general was born at Hanworth, Middlesex, in 1780, and, having received his education at Winchester School, entered the army in 1795, and was constantly employed regimentally for a period of 47 years. In 1839 he became colonel of the 9th Lancers, and in 1854 attained the rank of general. In 195 he served in Flanders, and in 1799 in the campaign in North Holland and the Helder, being present in the actions of the 10th and 19th of September, and the 2d and 6th of October. He served in the Peninsular War, 1811-12, at the siege of Badajos, the battle of Salamanca, at Elbodon, and the cavalry affair at Tories. At Waterloo he commanded the 11th Dragoons, and succeeded to the 'command of the 4th Brigade of Cavalry, which he held on the ad vance to and the taking of Paris. In Paris 1819 he aceompanied his regiment to India, and commanded the cavalry at the siege of Bhurtpore, 1825-6. After wards he received the thanks of Parliament for his gallant and meritorious conduct. His next appoint ment was that of Inspector of the Indian Cavalry, after which he became Military Secretary to the Governor-General (Lord William Bentinck). This led to his being placed as Major-General of Divi sion on the Staff at Bombay, and he remained there for three years. On returning to England in 1839 he was m a d e I ns p ec t or -G enera l o f Cavalry. The deceased was a K.C.8., a Knight of the Bavarian Order of Maximilian Joseph, and ; had medals for Waterloo, Bhtirtpore, Salamanca, and other places. DEPUTATION TO THE HOME SECRETARY. Yesterday, a deputation waited upon Sir G. Grey at the Home Office, with a view to request him to rescind the orders issued by him, respecting the working of traction engines excepting during the hours of 12 o'clock at night at 8 in the morning, which was highly prejudicial to the agricultural interests. The deputation was introduced by Lord Kinnaird and among the many gentlemen present were the following members of Parliament :—Mr. Malcolm, Col. Sykes, Mr. Grosvenor Hodgkinson, Sir J. C. D. Hay, Bart. ; Messrs. W. Lawson, Jas. Mackie, R. Hodgson, the Hon. A. Kinnaird, Lord Harris, Sir Geo. Dering, Bart., Mr. G. S. Beacroft, &c., &c. There were also several justices of the peace, and many landed proprietors and tenant farmers in at tendance. Lord KINNAIRD, addressing Sir George Grey, said that no doubt he was aware that a large and influential meeting had been held respecting the restriction which he (Sir G. Grey) had ordered upon traction engines. His lordship had the hon our of presiding at that meeting, and a resolution was passed deprecatory of the order restricting the passage of engines on the highways, excepting during the hours of night. Lord Kinnaird then said that he had no doubt that Sir George Grey felt bound under the Act of Parliament of 1861, to press the certain restrictions contained in that act ; but he had found that by the use of traction engines in the daytime no accident had ever occurred, and he hoped that the act would be amended. Sir G. GREY said that by the sth clause of the Locomotive Act of 1861 —not as a general clause— if it was shown that there was wear and tear, and breaking up of the roads by the use of locomotive engines, and inconvenience and danger attendant thereon, the magistrates of the county, on represen tation thereof, would cause him to put the act in force, and, if only upon danger, he must fall on the clause, and restrict the hours of the use of the locomotive to night. There had been a strong representation from Agbrigg, in the West Riding of the county of York, to the effect of the danger attending the daylight working, and the issue of the order was prompted by what he had received from some of the justices, and on which he felt it, was to the public interest to enforce the restriction of the law. If, however, they found it possible to take their engines on the roads without smoke or noise, the order would at once be revoked. In hi s own immediate neighbourhood a horse had been frightened by one of those engines, and the life of a magistrate had been thereby sacrificed. How ever, if any means could be adopted whereby in convenience and the frightening of horses could be prevented, it would be a great advantage. Mr. Wells, who was employed on the new buildings, had said that he was employing engines without noise or smoke, and he hoped that such was the fact. He thought the question was one that should go before Parliament. Sir JOHN ',HAY here presented a memorial signed by eight magistrates and 98 landholders. Sir G. GREY said he had received a memorial from the Steam Ploughing Company, but he could do nothing until they could show that the act required modification, which would then rest with Parliament. Lord KINNAIRD said that the modification had come from the magistrates, way wardens and others, and one chief constable, they had been told, had never himself seen a traction engine on the road. Sir G. GREY—Yes, and others had said that they hed seen four or five traction engines on the road, and that the horses became frightened, and thereby rendered the road dangerous. Several other gentlemen spoke upon the subject, showing that the agricultural and mining interests were highly oppressed by the restrictions n r e es g tr i i i to i la psin p as laced g upon the progress of the traction fi a el d d t t h o a a t n t o h t e h w er o , r p k e in rh g aaptsngilt a i ta on distancethe r o o a f d fi f v r e o m in onees, n would render the conduct of the engines hazardous and dangerous, as in some places they had to cross bridges and ditches, and the engines might be turned be ed bottom. upwards. G Sir G. GREY said that in the d a y there might 1,000 people out , but in the night there might not be more than five, and he would ask if on a winter night, when they closed their labours at 5 o'clock, and wished to go to another field, would they not remove the en engine. A tenant farmer replied that they should not, but said itwould be hard if in the day they had finished memorial of the inhabitants of Cornhill on tt. ject, and to adopt such I)l2:l:sures as may be d necessary for the better proLetion of the pro of the citizens. This will now have become the more imp, necessary in consequence of another burv;l,. the city early yesterday morning, and of a tea bery—the third within the last four years on same premises —in the warehouse of Mr. Batt , merchant, at 126, Lower Thames-street, about, the very time at which the burglary in Cornhill was being effected. Mr. Jacob Herman Epstein, a leather merchant, has recently taken premises at 11, Newgate-street, and stocked them with a large quantity of material in the way of his trade. During Thursday night his warehouse was broken into and thirty-five dozen of skins of the value of about £7O stolen. The thieve . s are sup posed to have concealed themselves in the upper part of the premises, which was undergoing repair, after the workmen had left for the day, and to have bided their time until Mr. Epstein's warehouse was closed for the night. Failing to pick the lock they cut bodily away with a centrebit the part of the door to which it was fixed, and so entered the place. There they broke open and ransacked the desks, but without finding any money, and then decamped with the 35 dozen skins. These were of very con siderable weight and bulk, and probably a cart or cab was used in removing them ; and yet the thieves escaped with their booty unchallenged by the police, which is the moral of the story. Again 22 packages of tea, worth £BO, were stolen from the warehouse of Mr. Batten, in Lower Thames-street, between last Saturday evening and Monday morning. On two pre vious occasions, in February, 1862, and again in February, 1864, a cartload of tea in chests was stolen from the same premises. The warehouse of Mr. Batten adjoins that of Messrs. Keeling, and on Saturday or Sunday last, as in February,:lB64, the thieves entered the premises of Messrs. Keeling, and cut through a partition wall of brick 18lin. thick on one occasion and 14in. on another, to get at the warehouse of Mr. Batten. There is also a rumour that about 2,600 gallons of brandy have recently been stolen from a bonded warehouse in Lower Thames-street, in the occupation of a private firm of wharfingers, the revenue on which alone will amount to a large sum and be lost to the.- Custom -house. Up to last evening the thieves in Mr. Walker's case were still at large. The reward of £l,OOO continues to be offered for their apprehension and. conviction.

[ A DTERTISEWENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Judicious Management.—Though it is impossible in this climate of changing temperature, fog, and rain, to prevent ill-health altogether, yet its form and frequency may be much mitigated by the early adoption of remedial measures. When hoarseness, cough, thick breathing, and the attend-. ing slight fever indicate irritation of the throat or chest, Holloway's Ointment should he rubbed upon the parts without delay, and his Pills should 104 taken in appropriate doses to promote its curative action. No catarrhs or sore throats can resist these remedies. Very intelligable printed directions envelope every package of Holloway's medics• ments, which are suited to all ages and conditions and to every ordinary disease to which humanity is
