The track is certainly not with out its perils, but we have a great deal of, we hope suffi ciently modest, self-reliance. No week passes but that we are striving and devising to make the Round Table a better and stronger publication than it is. In this the public is generously aiding us, and we trust will continue so to do ; and, while we shall always be glad of appreciation aryl friendly recognition from the cotemporary press, we aro well aware that it is to the public and not to newspapers, however excellent and influential, that we must look for the substantial assurance of our future.

Comparisons, as Dogberry meant to say, are odious. We should certainly not have thought of originating a discussion founded upon so objectionable a basis. As the case stands, however, we may perhaps be pardoned for humbly expressing an opinion— an opinion which there is no impropriety in prefacing Uy the statement that, as the present writer has contributed largely to at least two un questionably leading presses in both Now York and London, ho thinks himself fairly qualified to form and entitled to express it. f, then, the first-rate press of London is to be regarded as the ideal or standard of ex cellence, we deliberately affirm that, whether in point of paper, types, or the brains wherewith they are used, the Round Table is to• day nearer the mark of the leading English weeklies than any newspaper in New York is to the mark of the best English dailies; and we have not the slightest doubt whatever that any educated and unpre judiced person who shall carefully make the comparison will endorse this affirmation as a candid, unvarnished, and irrefragable truth.— The Round Table.

Some Oderous Comparisons. i ra .en t i h ng er P d os ts' t, co h u a r s teo r u: re cently e somethe E vening observations about the Round Table, among which, in one n T tl h y at taken o c respectablec a si on l 1 e t w o 8 p p a r l inT instance, after using some adjectives, whose application must of necessity react upon their writer, it is affirmed that the Round Table is not "as good " as the first class literary weeklies of similar aims which are published in London ; not as good, to be explicit, as the Ath,enmunt or the Saturday Review. Now the principle which seems to guide so many cotemporaneous journals in respect to the eternal veracities is none of ours, and there are plenty of journals, as it is hardly needful to say, whose aspersions of whatever sort we shall always think it unnecessary to notice. The Evening Post has the deserved reputation of being, in general, so temperate and fair minded, as well as so dignified a sheet, that for once, and in connection with its late observations, we propose to make an exception to our usual practice so far as to indulge in a few sentences i n re ply. With these preliminary explanations, we beg simply to acknowledge that the Evening Post is quite right. The Round Table is not in all respects so good a periodical as the Saturday Review. Our cotemporary is perfectly right; but ho has not said enough. He should have added that America is not so old a country as England, that Now York does not contain so many people as London, that the Houses of Parliament are larger than our city hall, that our Trinity cannot held a candle to Westminster Abbey, and that neither the Evening Post nor any other paper published in New York is as good a paper as the London Times. Since frankness is in vogue, pray let us have enough of it. Let the jewel of fair play bo occasionally heard of, even in the amenities of newspaper discussion. We have not the slightest hesitancy in admitting that with all our earnest and unremitting exertions we have not, in the course of a twelvemonth, in a community where such undertakings have always hitherto proved failures, suc ceeded in making a better literary and critical weekly than one which has been established for many years in a highly appreciative and ancient community, and one which is, in some particulars, not only the best of its class in the wo rld, but probably the best which the world has over yet seen. To claim that we have reached the acme of perfection, would have Table is in every possible respect all that we that there is nothing left for us to achieve, that the Round for a rabble it—and mean to make it—would be as vain write for intelligent and educated people, not, affectation in of muddle-headed and half-tipsy boorT,aannad unprofitable. such a matter would be utterly stupidnd for the chamber We leave for certain of the dailies a s absurd.

The situation is different, parallel . . different; the in fine, countries are t d h i e ff r e e re ft n r t o , p t l h e e nty tas , o t f es ex o ce f w hy the Evening Post should be as deserving, or more de serving, in being what it is than either of the papers last named in being what they are. That it has exerted a generally healthful and progressive influence upon the community, it is but common honesty to admit. We know not, indeed, how in the last five years the Evening Post could have been spared and the country yet stand where it is. Yet it certainly is not a perfect newspaper. It is prone to be dull and didactic. It permits itself to indulge in prejudice, which are the reverse of cosmopolitan. It is a -trifle too timid at times, both in squarely praising what is good and squarely denouncing what is bad. It is a little too apt to allow trivial matters of personal taste or distaste to cloud its sense of justice respecting obnoxious nations, persons, or things. But, apart from these criticisms, which are, of course, matters of individual opi nion, there is no journal in the country which ought to Li?e more ready to aid the euvoeiie of a raper with such aims Metropolitan Boa- d of Works. The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday, at the office in Spring gardens ; Sir John Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement showed the cash balances in the hands of the treasurer to be £709,654 55. 3d. ; checks issued but not presented, £49,543 14s. 7d. A report was presented from the Works and Gene ral Purposes Committee, stating, with reference to the resolutions of the Board of the 13th April last and 13th July last, referring it to the Thames Em bankment Committee to report to the Board on the present state of the works under the contracts for the Thames Embankment north, that, having regard to the altered conditions of the contracts, and the man ner in which the works are now progressing, the committee do not think it advisable to make any special report upon the reference. They recom mended the Board to proceed in the next Session of Parliament with the bills of last Session to effect the Chelsea Embankment, the Improvement of Park lane, and the Northern Embankment Approaches, the clause having reference to the proposed approach through Northumberland House property being omitted in the latter bill. That the chairman of the Board be requested to communicate with her Majesty's Government in relation to the financial arrangements to be made for carrying out such im provements. On it being moved by Mr. Freeman that these recommendations be adopted, the chair man said that he had read some of the discussions which had taken place in the vestries on this sub ject, and there appeared to be a misapprehension that it was intended by this Board to levy au addi tional rate for the purpose of public improvements. NoW that was an entire mistake ; it ,vas not in tended to levy an additional rate, but to readjust the present payment out of the sewer rates for pub lic improvements. Mr. Healey opposed any payment whatever out of the sewer rates for purposes of improvement, and Mr. Richardson took a similar view. Mr. Carpmael supported the recommenda tions, and said it would be a disgrace to London if it did not carry out public improvements in the same spirit as was done in Paris. In Paris upwards of ls. in the pound was raised over the whole of the in habitants there for public improvements, and was it to be said in this wealthy metropolis they could not raise one-tenth part of that amount for the same object? Mr. Le Breton said it was the duty of the Board to march with the times, and not be niggardly with these improvements. A. rate of 2d. in the pound would meet the expense of all that would be required for some time to come, and he felt sure that no one would grudge that sum to effect such important objects. Dr. Evans said if all im provements were to be done by the local authorities they would never be done at all. Had the Board in the case of the main drainage taken the sewage of the metropolis to Greenwich, would the local autho rities have taken the refuse of London from there to the point of discharge? The thing would have been utterly impracticable, and great works must be done by a united action of some central and responsible body. Mr. H. L. Taylor supported the report of the committee. Mr. Roche,wanted to know, before the Board was committed to any bill to give effect to these recommendations for public improvements, upon what principle they were to be carried out. If they attempted to rate the owners of the property for these improvements he felt sure that any clause for that purpose would be struck out by the Hollses1:) f d Lords, as had been done before. Mr. Freem an if public improvements were to go on, abso lutely necessary that more money s it was l h o uld be raised. The The motion was agreed to, an I for the and aafntedrwards it was also agreed that all correspondc:incbee referred to the widening of Park-lane . I i r n f e h i e lt C in hair Committee for considerat.isohn°o:rnt man made the following report. The re ference to the proposed new from Blackfriars- He said there were 161 bridge to the Mansi claimants, and all those claims, with original freehold the exception of 13, had been settled ; therefore very li tt l e remained to be dealt with. Of the les.se. leaving aes and sub lessees' claims about 86 had been dealt with, 105 cases to be disposed of. As far as they were at present able to judge, he thought by January next year they would be in a condition to take down the houses and make an opening in that direction. In answer to a question, the chairman said it must be a matter of consideration as to which end of the line the pulling down of houses should commence, but the arrangements were the most advanced at the Earl-street end. It was agreed to. Mr. Tite, M.P., drew the attention of the Board to the pre sent state of Leicester-square, and asked the soli citor whether, with the consent of the freeholder, that excrescence and blot in the middle of it could not be removed, for at present it was extremely ridiculous, and was an offence to public decency. The solicitor said a legal question as to this square would be settled in November next, but as regarded I an application to the freeholder for the removal of the statue, he thought there could be no objection to that course. After some other business had been disposed of the Board adjourned. The Indian chiefs on the Powder River, Dakotah Territory, have sent the followingproposition to the whites who wish to trade on that road : " You can make the road on there for 100 waggons loaded with Indian goods, 1,000 Amerietin horses, 1,000 rifles, 500 head of cattle, 500 head of cows, 2,1:199 head of sheep, 1,000 head of bogs, 500 roosters, 1,000 chickens, 200 coloured mon to raise corn."
