The objects of the company are, first, to construct a rail way, about nine miles in length, from the " Old Port" of Marseilles to Podestat, to afford increased facilities for the commerce andmanufactures of thetown andport ; secondly, to acquire land on both sides of the line throughout its length for building and other purposes, to which great value will be given by the construction of the railway. The reputation of Marseilles as the first maritime city of France is well known, second only to Paris in population and wealth ; its position and capabilities give it the com mand of French commerce in the Mediterranean. Within the last ten years Marseilles has been placed in direct railway- commun ication with Paris and all parts of Prance. Magnificent docks and warehouses have been con structed ; but great and rapid as those new works have been they are still far behind the requirements of its ever-in creasing trade. The old quarters of the town are being demolished to make room for handsome streetsand public buildings. The population thus displaced are driven to the suburbs, more especially towards the south, where the lands of the Com pany are situate, and where a fine valley stretches from the town to the Mediterranean, with a view of the sea, and open to the refreshing breezes, which during the summer afford the only relief from the intense heat of the city. The enormous value of ground in the town may be esti mated by the fact that, for any extension, rocks 60 feet high have to be cleared away to give sites for building ; it will be readily understood that such a locality is no longer suited for the erection of ordinary dwellings, or factories and che mical works, which latter, for sanitary reasons, will soon be driven from the city. The proposed railway, after leaving the port and town of 300,000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern suburb, which contains a population of 50,000, and follow the valley to the sea, at the "Madrague de Montredon," from thence it will be continued for three miles along the coast to Podestat, affording sites for the erection of factories, with access to the sea, and direct railway communication with the town and port, and with the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean lines, by a junction with the proposed new branch of the latter to the " Place Castellane." There are at the present time 460 factories in the town, employing nearly 10,000 workmen, and the number of factories would rapidly increase were it not for the heavy charges to which they are subjected from the increasing value of the ground occupied, and the want of direct rail- Way connexion- with the port and with the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean lines. The proprietors of these estab lishments will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity of disposing of their present sites to great advantage, and removing to a locality combining the facilities - of sea and railway communication, with perfect freedom from all the difficulties of their present position, and where land can be obtained from the Company at a tenth part of the price now paid for building ground in the town. In order to form an opinion of the pecuniary results of the proposed operations of the * Company, it will be desir able to consider separately the income to be derived from the railway, and the profit to be realised by the sale of the land of the Company. First, with reference to the railway it must be observed, that the existinc , lines are connected with the new port "Joliette" and the docks, but that the Old Port, which is 67 acres in extent, is entirely without railway communica tion or docks, notwithstanding which the official statistics of the Government show, that during the last year for which they are published, 1863, the returns for the " Old Port" were as follows : Vessels. Tons of Merchandise. 4,383 of various nations entered, carrying 950,180 4,303 77 77 77 left, 593,842 8,686 Total of vessels. 1,544,022 Tons During the same period the returns for the new port " Joliette" were : Vessels. Tons of Merchandise. 2,609 of various nations entered, carrying 364,121 2,400 77 71 left, „ 330.876 5,009 Total of vessels. 694,997 Tons. Rut in addition to this the new port " Joliette" received and sent off 1,159,021 tons of merchandise in 18 63, by 5,373 steamers, on account of the facilities afforded by the railways and docks. ' It is evident from these returns that a railway to the Old Port must secure a very large amount of goods traffic, and from the population of the suburban district through Which the line will pass, and the number of factories, itc., already established in that locality, it is calculated that the revenue will produce an immediate profit revenue equal to 15 per cent. on the outlay, which income will be rapidly in creased by the erection of houses and factories along the line. There will be seven intermediate stations between Marseilles and Podestat, one of which will be for the "Race Course," and the "Public Gardens," and " Chateau torelly." The Company have contracted for the execution of the Works of the railway from the " Place Castellano" to " Podestat," at the price of £185,000. Secondly, with reference to the profit to be realised by the sale of the land of the Company, it may be stated that all previous speculations in land at Marseilles have been successful. The Company have contracted for the purchase of about 1 ,200,000 square metres of land (about 300 English acres) situate on both sides of the proposed railway, between the town and the " Madmg-ue de Montredon ;" 140,019anetres of which will be required for the construction of the line and stations, leaving 1,060,000 metres to be sold for the erection of first-class residences. It has been estimated by competent judges of the value of building sites in the neighbourhood of Marseilles, that on the completion of the railway the whole of this land will be readily sold at the price of at least 20 francs per metro, at which rate it will produce 21,200,000 francs, or £848,000. The Company have also contracted for thepurchase of a very large tract of ground beyond the "Madrague de Mon tredon," through which the railway will pass to Podestat ; 1,500,000 metres (about 375 acres) of this land, adjoining both sea and railway, will be at once available as sites for factories and works of all kinds, Estimating the selling price of this land at 10f. per metre, a sum sufficiently low to induce the manufacturers to esta blish their works rapidly in the locality, it will produce a sum of 15,000,000 f., or £600,000. The average cash cost to the Company of the land above referred to is only 51f. per metre, including the houses already built thereon, and including also upwards of 1 0,000,000 metres of land (about 2,500 acres) on the coast line for three miles beyond the' proposed terminus at Podestat, which will thus be acquired by the Company freo of cost, and which will be made available at some future time by an extension of the railway and the forma tion of roads. _ _ iiiiMn;le;upply of water,which is indispensable at Mar seilles, both for houses and land, can be obtained from the existing works, which have cost the municipality more than 60,000,000 francs. The additional capital required for the payment of land will be raised in debentures to be repaid out of the produce of the land sales. The practical bearing of the land question is as follows : —Assuming the sale of the land at the low prices named, the profits arising therefrom will not only repay the whole Cost of the railway, but in addition there will remain a very large surplus for division as bonus amongst the share holders. The railway concession from the French Gorertment is for the term of 99 years. The lands of the Company will be freeholds in perpetuity, except the small portion occupied by the railway, which must necessarily be surrendered with the line at the expi ration of the concession. 5,000 of the shares have been subscribed for in France, and will be issued with £8 per share paid up thereon ; 8,000 shares will be reserved for issue as full paid up shares ; leaving . 12,000 ordinary shares for issue to the public. 20,000 The Articles of Association, and also the contract, con cessions, and plans, map be seen at the offices of the solici tors Messrs.

This Company has been formed to take over the busi ness of the Accidental Death Insurance Company—the existing constitution and capital of which are now found to be inconvenient and inadequate to its recently largely extended operations. That Company (empowered by special Acts of Parlia ment, 15 Vic., c. 56, and 22 and 23 Vic., c. 22) was founded in 1849, with a nominal capital of E 250,000, in 50,000 shares of £5 each, of which 20,000 have been issued. The following statement, embracing the amount of Premiums since the commencement of the Company, shows the pro gressive and steadilyincreasing nature of its operations:— - THE ACCIDENTAL BRANCH. 1850 £1,228 1 6 1857 £25,530 3 10 1851 - 1858 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 The accounts of the recently formed Marino Insurance Companies, which have exhibited good dividends and shown prospects of great value, leave no doubt on tho minds of the Directors that at any rate equal success will attend the efforts of the Corporation in this direction. The services of a gentleman of experience haVe been secured as Underwriter. The extensive machinery of agents (of which there are between 4,000 and 5,000) is in full work, and is of great value—indeed the directors confidently believe that all that is required to secure a rapid increase in the existing business is a proper adaptation of modern requirements as regards capital and position.

This company is the result of indefatigable investigation of the position, present and prospective, of the sugar refining trade in France and England. Its objects are to care on the business of sugar refiners and merchants in sugars in Great Britain, Ireland, France, and Belgium, and if so resolved by the shareholders in any other country. The enormous wealth of the great sugar refining establish ments in France is well known. The profits of the business, when undertaken on a large scale, have been demonstrated beyond dispute by the fortunes which they have realised for their proprietors. While so great and so increasing is the demand for sugar that many of these establishments are compelled to work by night as well as by day. It has been computed that the mere increase in the demand is sufficient to employ a new refinery on the largest scale. The consumption in England is 500,000 tons per annum ; and is so largely on the increase that during the last year 50,000 tons refined sugar have been imported from the Continent into London. London is the groat entrepot of colonial raw sugar, and Paris of raw beet-root sugar. In Franco the consumption is about '250,000 tons. In these countries all experience of the manufacture have proved that the expenses and general charges of working decrease in an inverse ratio to the extent on which the operations are conducted. Thus, in establishments turning out 10,000 tons per annum, the charges amount to from 3s. 3d. to 3s. 6d. per cwt. of raw sugar ; while in an establish ment of the ma gn it u d e propose d by this company, and with the latest improvements in machinery, the charges will be only 2s. 6d. per cwt., given an adiantage of from 9d. to ls. per cwt., which would be equivalent to an increase of divi dend of 71 to 10 per cent. for each of this company's re fineries, beyond the dividend which each smaller refinery would produce. Contracts have been entered into by the well known house 'of Messrs: Pontifex and Wood, for the supply and erection of the necessary m ac hi ner y, on favourable terms. It is at present intended to erect refineries in London and in France, each capable of refining 1,000 tons of raw sugar per week; and the land for the French refinery has been secured in a most favourable position at Saint Denis, near Paris, and at the very moderate price of 10 francs per square metro. The directors also propose to purchase or erect a refinery at Liverpool. Interest at 5 per cent. per annum will be paid on all capital called up until 18 months after the incorporation of the company, by which time it is calculated the first refinery of the company will be in operation. The directors pledge themselves to make no allotment unless the whole of the first issue is subscribed. If no allotment is made the deposit will be returned in full. The memorandum and articles of association may be seen at the office of the solicitors. Prospectuses, forms of application for shares, and every information may be obtained at the offices of the company, and of the bankers, brokers, and solicitors.

The Provisional State Governments continue to be administered without any serious difficulty, and generally receive from the inhabitants all necessary co-operation. In Tennessee, however, the great antipathy to the new law disfranchising all guilty of treason, at State elections, has developed a for midable sentiment of dislike to Governor Bronlow, who openly and warmly declares himself in favour of "punishing treason for ever." It is understood that even the strictly loyal men of Tennessee con sider Parson Brownlow rather too much opposed to conciliation to insure the peace and prosperity of the State, and it is reported that the Washington authorities have suggested to him the adoption of a less severe policy. It is asserted by some journals that the Governor encourages the ill treatment of Confederates returning to East Tennessee. It is feared that civil law and order will be more slowly developed in Tennessee than in the other recently insurgent States. The newspapers in that State apprehend serious riots at the approaching elections, and it is considered not improbable that a strong military force throughout the western and central portions of the State may be requisite to preserve order for some time. President Johnson has fully recovered his health, and is said to be vigorously attending to the duties of his office. He has granted a large number of pardons recently, wine of them, however, to persons of special importance. Governor Perrey, of South Carolina, has arrived in Washington, with Senator Orr and other prominent citizens of that State, and will, it is understood, urge upon the President the pardon of a large number of prominent South Caro linians. row ready, boards, price is. 6d., • ITS ; a Collection of the Best Tales contri buted to "Temple Bar," " Once a Week," "Cham bers's Journal," &c.

CHARLES NASH, See. SUICIDE BY A STATION-lIASTER.—On Thursday Mr. Robinson, the master of the station on the North-Eastern Railway, at Sherburn, near Milford Junc tion, committed suicide by hanging himself. Deceased, who was about 35 years of age, and had been a consider able period in the service of the c ompany, was at h i s pos t and attending his duties yesterday morning, when, with out assigning any reason, he left, and some time after was found hanging by the nook in a field at some distance. Before committing the rash act it would appear that he divested himself of his coat, waistcoat, and watch, as these were found at least a hundred yards from the spot at which he was hanging ; and then, tying one end of his silk scarf in a tree and the other round his neck, jumped from some railings, which he had ascended for his object. His fall thence would be about two feet, and ho must have died almost instantly, inasmuch as his ne c k was b ro k en . No reason is known for the commission of the act, and it is, therefore, presumed to have been in c it e d by t em p ora ry insanity. It is reported that the President has substituted the Dry Tortugas for the Albany Penitentiary as the place of imprisonment of Dr. Mudd, O'Laugh lin, Arnold, and Spangler, and that they have de parted for their destination. Nothing definite is known concerning Jefferson Davis in his imprisonment, or in relation to his trial for .treason. He is still confined in Fortress Monroe, and as no one is allowed to visit him, and the autho rities furnish no information on the subject, no par ticulars of his incarceration are published. It is generally understood that the Administration has not yet determined upon what caurse to pursue in relation to him. The Philadelphia Inquirer, how ever, asserts upon what it calls good authority that Mr. Davis will be soon tried by court-martial, and that the charges against him will embrace complicity in the assassination of President Lincoln. Senator R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, has been released from military custody on parole. The bodies of Mrs. Surratt, Payne, Harold, and Atzerott are still held by the military authorities. Mrs. Surratt's friends have earnestly petitioned the President to order her remains to be given up. An extensive feeling of sympathy for her is said to pre vail in and around Washington. Weichman, the principal witness against her, denies the charges made against him by John P. Brophy, and declares that Mrs. Surratt was at least certainly guilty of connection with the plot to abduct Mr. Lincoln, and for that reason alone deserved death. Ex (Confederate) Governor James E. Brown, of Georgia, has issued an address to the people of that State, advising them to submit gracefully to the emancipation of their slaves, and to take the oath of allegiance so as to qualify themselves as voters, and to earnestly join in any measures calculated to restore and maintain civil government in their commonwealth. Latest Texas advices state the Mexican Imperial commander at Matamoras, General Mejia, had de livered to the United States authorities the artillery. and other property which the Confederates sold to the Imperialists after the surrender of General Kirby Smith, all of which by the terms of the Bur_ render had become the property of the United States. The two divisions of cavalry under Generale Custer and Merritt were marching through the State. Stringent orders had been issued to the t roo p s to prevent straggling and plundering, and no negroes are to be permitted to leave the planta tions to follow the columns. In the States of Texas and Louisiana the crops are said to promise an abundant yield, but great difficulty in procuring adequate labour in harvest time is apprehended. The military orders prohi biting the negroes from flocking into the towns or living in idleness were, however, being rigidly en forced, and were having a salutary effect. It is at last officially announced that the Spanish authorities have decided to deliver the ram Stone wall, now lying in the harbour of Havana, to the United States. The correspondence upon the sub ject between Senor Tassara, the Spanish Minister at Washington, and Secretary Seward has been published. Senor Tassara states that the Captain- General of Cuba has received orders from Madrid to deliver the Stonewall to any person whom the United States Government may designate to re ceive her, the surrender being absolutely uncon ditional, although the vessel was responsible to the Cuban authorities for some $16,000 advanced to the commander, Captain Page. The Spanish Go vernment does not concede the right of the United States to demand the vessel, but omits discussing the point to avoid any ill-feeling. Mr. Seward, in re ply, acknowledges the international good will of the act, states that measures will be at once taken to receive the Stonewall, and also to reimburse Spain, for all expenses necessarily incurred in becoming possessed of the vessel by the Captain-General of Cuba. General Joseph Hooker, on the 15th inst., as sumed command of the department of the East, embracing the New England States, New York, and New Jersey. General Dix, on leaving the command, issued an order thanking the civil authorities of all the States of the department for their generous co operation with him in all cases of emergency. A letter from St. Petersburg states that, in con.. sequence of the scarcity in Finland, the Governor of Uleaborg has received orders to sell and advance as loans to the inhabitants 6,500 tons of rye lying in the Government granaries, the price per ton being fixed at 7 roubles (each 4r.) when sold, and 7fr roubles when lent. M. May, the editor of the Schleswig-Holstein Ga zette, who has been lately arrested by the military authorities at Kiel, is one of the firmest adversaries of the pretensions of Prussia, a devoted supporter of the auto nomy of his country and of the rights of the Prince of Augustenburg. It appears that, at the fete given by the Bremen riflemen, he denounced, in very strong language , the policy of Prussia, and the manoeuvres of Count de Bismark. Such is the cause of his incarceration. As the Duchies are not subject to martial law, and as the civil tribunals are alone competent to order such arrests, it remains to be seen how Austria and the civil Government of the Duchies will look on thin act of the FrllB§l4ll mili ,tart' authorities.

The dust and heat, endured heretofore with such comparative • indiffe rence, is now discovered to be a nuisance and a bore. There is a groat falling off in the attendance of the ladies ; it is de rigueur not to appear twice in the same bonnet and dress, and it is just possible that the third day has seen the limit of some of the Goodwood wardrobes. We believe that three days' racing is just enough for any lady, and that if a vote could be taken on the subject three would be carried by a large majority. The last day here is generally, how ever, one of the best, as far as racing is concerned, the Nur sery Handicap, the Chesterfield Cup, the March Stakes, and the Richmond Plate generally bringingout large fields, and exciting a great deal of speculation. The Nursery brought out 19 runners, Gladiator, the favourite, at 100 to 30, Ma zurka, from Godding's stable, being, perhaps, backed for most money next. We had no Victorious this year to win at the top and steadying weight of 9st., Attraction, the highest weighted here, not making any show in the race. The favourite, too, was beaten easily, and Life Guardsman won cleverly by half a length, Nutrition, a good-looking filly in Nightingall's stable, being second. The March Stakes was a surprise for Mr. J. B. Morris, who had de clined to back Shrapnel), refusing 100 to 8 about him just before they went to the post. It was a good race between the three placed ; but Shrapnell had always the best of it from the distance, and won cleverly at last. For the Ches terfield Cup—a beautiful piece both of workmanship and design—the Woodyates party were extremely sanguine about Historian, his owner backing him as if the race was over, and standing to win a large sum. Still it did not look quite sto 2 in a large field of 30 horses. Mr. Brayley fully counted upon Redmire to repair his Stakes losses. The result of the race certainly made it pretty apparent that had a more efficient jockey been on him on Wednes day he could not well have lost. To-day he won very -easily, with only John Davis and Provisor near him. Mr. Brayley lands a good stake, together with a splendid trophy, and we trust he is consoled. Time and space warns us not to dwell on the remaining events of as successful a meeting, from every point of view, as was ever held at Goodwood. The weather, the sport, and the attendance were all above the mark, all the acces sories and minor details carried out most efficiently, and but one note of satisfaction heard on all sides. The railway arrangements were excellent, with the excep tion of a hitch at Chichester this afternoon, where there appeared to be a most extraordinary lack of first-class accommodation, and many persons had to ride to town in third-class carriages. Mr. Webley, the stationmaster at Brighton, despatched his portion of the service' with groat promptitude, and excellent time was generally kept.

Here the leaders were joined by Peeress and Klarinska, the lot running in company to the distance, whore Peeress, next the rails, came out and won a good race by a length ; Klarinska defeated Trapeze by a head for second place ; Araucaria was fourth, close up; May Queen fifth, and Bunch sixth.

Upwards of half an hour was lost at the post. When they got away, Wild Agnes in the centre made play, having Lord Douglas, Thalassius, Zambesi, and Reindeer as her immediate followers to the distance. The latter then dropped back, and half-way up Lord Stamford's colt took a decided lead, and won very cleverly by a couple of lengths. Wild Agnes defeated Lord Douglas by a head for second, and the latter was a similar distance in advance of Zambesi; Indigestion was fifth, Lady Williams sixth, ItOindeer seventh, and Gem of the Sea next.

Several failures preceded the actual start, which was most unsatisfactory. Immediately the flag was lowered Life Guardsman slipped his horses and came on with a slight lead of Nutrition, the favourite, Mazurka, Hazeldean, Othello, and Blackthorn, the others, who were running widely, being headed by Ambition (wide on their left), close up with whom were Eccleston, Loaf Sugar, The Sharper, Jezabel, Venturer, Black Prince, and Monitress ; Gold Pen who got badly off, bringing up the rear. As they streamed along the bottom Nutrition got upon better terms with the leader, and upon the retirement of Gladiator, Mazurka and Othello became their immediate followers. They had, how ever, no chance of reaching the leaders, who came on to gether to the centre of the lawn, where Life Guardsman increased his advantage and won very cleverly at last by half a length ; there were four lengths between the second and third ; and a head divided the latter from Mazurka, who was fourth ; Sister to Amber was fifth, Hazeldean sixth, The Sharper seventh, Blackthorn eighth, and Gladi ator next. The next lot, who were pulling up, comprised Brimstone, Jezabel, Ambition, Loaf Sugar, Gold Pen, and Monitress.

From this point a close and interesting race home ensued, Shrapnell winning cleverly by a neck ; Alberta defeated Blackbird by a length for second, and Vision fourth.

THE USE •OF SUBWAYS BY GAS AND WATER COMPANIES. A report was brought up from the Streets Committee recommending that a communication be addressed to the St. Saviour's District Board of Works to the effect that this Board have no power to compel water companies to lay down their mains in the subway in Southwark-street. Mr. BUSHFIELD suggested that a scale of charges should be laid down for gas and water companies who might be desirous of laying their pipes in the subway, and thus pre vent the frequent breaking up the street. Mr. NEWTON did not see that any useful purpose would be answered in fixing any scale of charges, inasmuch as the gas and water companies had combined together to prevent the Board from obtaining Parliamentary powers to compel these companies to use the subways when they were so formed, and that combination was successful in the defeat of the Bill. Mr. FREEMAN said he concurred with Mr. Newton, as the gas and water companies had opposed the Board at every step in their efforts to obtain powers to compel them to lay their mains in the subways, and until Parliament should see fit to give those powers the question must rost as it stood at present. The report was then agreed to. THE UTILIZATION OF THE SEWAGE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE THAMES. Mr. DOULTON, M.P., said there was a matter which was only referred to for a few minutes at their last meeting, which was the reception of tenders for the utilization of the sewage on the south side of the Thames, and ono tender was received from a Mr. Shields, but not at the time which the advertisement required. Tho advertisement stated that no tender would be received after 4 o'clock in the afternoon of July 6, but it appeared that the tender of Mr. Shields was not sent in until July 17. Now, having regard to those persons who complied with the terms of the advertisement, he thought it would be impossible for the Board to receive any tender that was sent in after that time. If it should be found that none of the tenders sent in in time met the object the Board had in view, then it would be perfectly open to them to take any other tenders, or to again invite further tenders to be sent in, but until that was done it would be unfair to those who had complied with the terms of the advertisement to admit others who had not done so. It would not be right that persons should be at liberty to send in tenders at the last moment, and thus be enabled to avail themselves of information from the plans which had been already sent in and submitted to the Board. Another reason was that the matter ought not to be further delayed, for there would be ample time for the en gineer to report upon the subject and get the work put in hand before they adjourned for the recess. He therefore moved, "That the plan of Mr. Shields- not having been submitted in the time named by the advertisement for the ultilisation of the southern sewage, this Board is not in a position to receive such plan, having regard to the terms of the advertisement." Mr. H. L. TALYOR, in seconding the motion, said it would be child's play if, when the time fixed had gone by, other m ho e u n i t d s b: te a d llo t w ha e t d j to ul s y en 6 d a i t n 4 further o'clock t einndtehr the . l ' The after noon was the last day and tho last hour that they were pre pared veornt to se Shields was not sent in until the 17th, or nearly a fortnight afterwards. Under those circumstances the tender of Mr. Shields could not be received. receive tenders, and it seemed that that of Mr, apdersis s Mr. NEIVTON said ho regretted to find that the Board was not then disposed to adopt the course which had been taken upon the former occasion. Then they received a tender at 10 o'clock in the morning, which ought to have been sent in the previous day, and from time to time they allowed modifications to bo made in the plans which had already been sent in. In the case of Mr. Ladbrooke, a communica tion was sent in, stating that three or four gentlemen were most anxious to contract for taking the sewage, but at pre— sent they had been been unable to mature plans, and time was allowed for that purpose. They also issued further ad vertisements, inviting other persons to send in other tenders, and he saw no reason why the same course should not be taken on this occasion. Mr. BRUSIIFIELD said, were they to concede this applica tion they would set a most mischievous precedent, and the argument which Mr. Newton had used went to show how wrong they had acted then. If they stated that they would receive tenders up to a certain time, and not afterwards, it would be most unfair to those who had complied with the advertisement after that to accept any others. Mr. SHORE and Mr. FRvxmAN wore opposed to receiving this tender. Mr. MILLER, M.P., said nothing could be more dishonest or more untruthful in the face of their own advertisement to receive tenders sent in after the 6th of July. Mr. New ton had made a good speech to show how unfairly they had acted on a former occasion, and the sum and substance of it was that as they had acted unfairly then they should do so again. He completely agreed with the remarks of Mr. Doulton, but thought no motion was required, as the tender of Mr. Shields was excluded under the terms of the advertisement. The CHAIRMAN then put the motion, whiCh was carried by a majority of 24 to 2. The tender of Mr. Shepherd for the same work was also set aside for the same reason, not having been sent in time. Mr. NEWTON gave notice that on Friday next he shculd move:—" .That advertisements be issued, stating that the Board will bo prepared to receive suggestions and commu nications in reference to the utilisation of the sewage of the metropolis on the south side on the 22d of September next.' NUISANCES AT WOOLWICH ROYAL ARSENAL. The following letter was received from the Marquis of Hartington, Under-Secretary for War, with reference to nuisances at the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich : " War-office, July 21, 1865. " Sir,—l am directed by the Secretary of State for War to acquaint you, for the information of the Metropolitan Board of Works, that representations have been received from the officers of the departments in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, complaining of the nuisance arising from certain premises on the banks of the Thames below Woolwich, in which some offensive manufactories are carried on. A large factory situate near to the mouth of Barking Creek, on its eastern bank, has been most particularly mentioned, and Lord de Grey has been assured that with a certain wind the stench from these premises is almost unbearable in all parts of the Royal Arsenal. His lordship hopes the Metropolitan Board of Works may be able to take some steps to abate so great a nuisance. " I am also desired to direct your attention to the fact that the sewage of the district of Plumstead is allowed to diffuse itself throughout the open ditches_ on Plumstead marshes, situated near the eastern boundary of the Royal Arsenal, although to do so it actually crosses over the main outlet sewer of the Metropolitan General Drainage. This also becomes an intolerable nuisance to the workmen and others employed in the Royal Arsenal, and the medical officer of this department in the'Royal Arsenal having re presented that the offensive odours are injurious to health, the subject deserves the immediate attention of theMle,ttirtoor politan Board of Works. A communication uponf this subject has been addressed to the Loca l Board o I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " HARTINGTON. " The Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of W or ks, spring-gardens."
