The Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London met yesterday at the Guildhall, under the Presidency of Deputy De Jersey. The court to-day received tenders for the purchase and destruction of the meat condemned by the City inspectors afxunfit for human food. The conditions of the tenders were very carefully drawn, under the superintendence of Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of the City, with a view to the prevention, under any circumstances, of the meat, after condemnation, ever being used as an article of food. Considerable attention has of late been paid by the com missioners to this important subject, and their attempts to put down the traffic in diseased meat have proved very successful, and of great advantage to the public. The principal clerk, Mr. PAW, reported that there had been paid into the chamber by the Metropolitan Board of Works the sum of £7,1G3 6s. Bd. in, aid of improvements carried out by the commissioners in various parts of the City. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tms DAY. The SPRAirrat took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills wore read a third time and passed: —Assam Company ; Kilrush and, Kilkee Railway, and Poulnashery Reclamation ; Sidmouth and Budloigh Sal terton Railway ; and Sidmouth Railway and Harbour. TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL. Mr. GOSCHEN moved the second reading of this bill, which he contended was one that would confer great benefits on a very numerous body of gentlemen. The tests now in existence he looked upon as quite below the en lightenment of the present day, and he thought that nothing but the greatest good could result from the bill which he had the honour of introducing. The object of the bill was to remove all subscription to the 89 Articles, to throw open all academical degrees, without any test whatever to give a vote in academical affairs, and to admit all to certain emnluments from which they were at present virtually altogether excluded. The bill was not to hand over to the Dissenter the emoluments of the Church of England, but to throw open to many of them that which they could not hope to attain under the present system of tests. He thought handing over and throwing open would be thought by the majority of the house to mean two totally distinct things. The great question which they had now to answer was. whether they were prepared to maintain that all the emoluments and franchises of the universities should be retained for one Church which comprised but half of the population, but out of this half to those members only who were pre pared to take all those complicated tests now in existence. He thought the greatest good would result to the Estab lished Church by the passing of this act, and trusted that a majority of that house would be of the same opinion. Mr. DUFF GRANT thought the bill one that ought to bo generally supported, as it gave to the dissenters from the Established Church an instalment of their just rights to the benefits of our universities. Lord ROBERT CECIL said he did not object to the bill, because it adopted that which was known as the Cam bridge compromise to Dissenters wishing to take the degree of master of arts, but he objected to it most strongly, because he considered it would deliver the government of the universities into the hand of Dissenters. He thought it of the highest importance that good religion should be taught at our universities in preference to good classics. Ho moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. (LEFT SITTING.) LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN RE LORD HENRY GORDON. This bankrupt was described as the Right Hon.

From the evidence of Mrs. Sophie Scherzer, wife of the prosecutor, it appeared that she gave the prisoner, who was employed as a porter, three soverigus to pay a butcher's bill. The prisoner did not come back, and she afterwards found that he had spent the money in the purchase of a suit of clothes in Seven Dials. Elliott, 43 C, said the prisoner admitted stealing and spending the money.

PRITCHARD —Last week the witnesses in this case were cited to attend the High Court of Justiciary, at Edinburgh, on the 3d July. The greater number of them are resident in Glasgow, nearly all the others belonging to Edinburgh. Apropos of this matter, we may state that on Sunday, and for several Sundays back, special prayers on behalf of the prisoner were re quested in St. Mary's Church, Renfield-street—the place of worship which he usually attended.—Glasgew Morning Journal. THE GAS SUPPLY. Dr. LETHEBY, the gas analyst for the City, reported to the court that in the course of last quarter there had been 652 examinations of the illuminating power of the gas sup plied to the City, and the results were that the mean illu minating power of the Great Central Company's gas had been equal to 14.19 standard sperm candles ; the Chartered gas to 14.31 candles ; and the City gas to 14.26 candles. During the whole of the quarter the illuminating power had been but once under the Parliamentary standard, and that was in the case of the Great Central gas. In that re spect, therefore, the quality of the gas had been very satis factory, for it had been about one candle higher than it was in the corresponding quarter of last year, and two candles better than the act requ'sed. The che mical quality of the C:ty Company's gas had been almost invariably good. It had been at all times perfectly free from ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen, and the average amount of sulphur in 100 cubic feet had been about 17.5 grains, and the Parliamentary proportion of 20 grains had been exceeded seven times out of 59. The quantity of sul phur in the Chartered gas had also been generally low. It had averaged 19 grains in the 100 cubic feet, and it had ex ceeded the limit of the act on 12 occasions out of 59, but the proportion of ammonia in the Chartered gas had always been excessive. The chemical quality of the Great Central gas had been good in two respects, namely, in the absence of ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen ; but the amount of sulphur in the gas had nearly always been about the quan tity sanctioned by Parliament. It had averaged 23.7 per 100 cubic feet, and it had failed to fulfil the requirements of the act in that respect on 51 occasions out of 55. The report was ordered, to be printed and circulated amongst the members of the Court. Whilst upon the question of the supply of gas to the City, it may not be out of place to refer to a report presented to the Court of Common Council by their General Purposes Committee, to whom it has been referred to consider several Petitions adopted at a number of the ward meetings, com plaining both of the quantity and quality of the gas sup • plied, and the majority of them urging upon the Corpora tion to take measures to get a repeal of the present acts of • Parliament regulating the supply, and to take such mea- L sures as will secure to the City a better and a cheaper supply of gas than at present, and by an application to Par liament obtain power to undertake, if necessary, the manu facture and distribution of the gas within the boundaries of the City, whereby so essential a commodity might be se cured of a good quality and at a moderate price. Among the wards which petitioned the Corporation to this effect were those of Farringdon Without, Farringdon Within, B Aldgate, Cripplegate, Port n k Thed General Purposes Committ ee isno i sho their e n ps ga d t L , arn el :3 Castlengoratstate, that they have been attended by de putations representing several petitioners, and having heard them at length in explanation of their views and opinions, they had entered upon the subject with that careful con sideration which its importance suggested as connected with the interests of their fellow -citizens. The use of gas having become so general two material points had naturally from time to time been urged by the consumers, viz.—the purity and illuminating power of the gas; and next, the price that should be charged for it. The Commissioners of Sewers had, in the discharge of their duty, frequently in vestigated the subject as connected more particularly with the public lighting of the City, but the committee considered that in reference to them the question was raised as affect ing the personal interests of the citizens. Either view, however, pointed to the same result, and they were there fore of opinion that considerable advantage would be de rived from conferring with the Commissioners of Sewers. Their request for this purpose being readily complied with they had discussed the subject with their special committee on gas, and had had their attention particularly drawn to a report recently presented by them to the Court of Sewers, and to a joint report upon the subject from the engineer and medical officer of health. The committee, after stat ing that they entirely agreed with the special committee, entered into a general statement of the facts contained in the report ; but as an abstract of those has already appeared in the columns of The Sun, it is unneces sary to republish them here. The General Purposes Committee state that, without going further into details, they believe that the complaints of the petitioners are borne out by results of inquiry, and tho great question therefore arose, what remedy should be applied. And upon that point, again, they had every satisfaction in endorsing the conclusions of the Commissioners of Sewers, and though they felt that the ac ti on o f th e C orporation would, at all events, under the p resen t c i rcumstances, b e l i mited, whilst that of the Commissioners was general, there was a unity of purpose which suggested the great desirability of co-operation in action, and they begged, therefore, to quota the recommendations of the Special Gas Committee, and to ask the authority of the Common Council for the com mittee to act with the Commissioners in endeavouring to carry out such measures founded upon those recommen dations as would tend to answer the reasonable expecte tions of the citizens. The following were the recommendations of the Special Gas Committee referred to :- 1. That an offer should again be made to the companies for the commission to undertake the lighting, cleansing, extinguishing, and the entire charge of the public lamps, affixing metres to every twenty lamps or thereabouts, and adopting such other precautions as will insure a fair ave rage consumption. 2. That the companies be requested to affix, at thoir ex ens e, governors or re gu l ators to the whole of the public lamps. 3. That the furthor assistance of the police be, if possible, obtained in the supervision of the public lighting. 4. That all legal measures to secure to the citizens gas equal to the Act of Parliament standard of illuminating power and chemical purity should be resorted to. 5. That an application be made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department to institute inquiry as to the capi tals of the several companies, and for the purpose of secur ing to the consumers all the advantages contemplated by the Metropolis Gas Act, 1860. 6. That, after matur e consideration of the subjects re ferred sent time to to fis, we are of opi n i on that it is inexpedient at the pre take measures with the view to the com mission manufacturing and selling gas ; but that application be made to Parliament for a modification of the Metropolis Gas Act, 1860, so far as it affects the city of London, and especially with the view of obtaining for the citizens gas of a higher illuminating power, of greater chemical purity, and at a cheaper price than that now supplied, and such other powers as may be beneficial to the ratepayers and gas consumers in the City. The General Purposes Committee state that they further agree in the opinion expressed by the commissioners that, should the commission fail in its endeavours to benefit and protect the public, it should be a recommendation to the Court to consider the propriety of providing the means for constructing works, laying do w n pipes, and undertaking the manufactures of gas for the citizens. The report of the General Purposes Committee will, it is understood, be con sidered at the next Common Council meeting. The commissioners, after transacting some further busi ness, adjourned.

A high reef of rocks stretched from near the foot of the cliff in the direction where the vessel lay. One of the brig's crew had at the moment of her striking aground been washed overboard, and another was at the same time knocked from the wheel. During all this time the breakers (so terrible on this coast) were making a clean sweep over the vessel's stern. She had heeled over considerably on her port side, and the crew were clinging to the starboard bow. One or two of them several times got over the bulwarks, and appeared resolved to attempt to swim to the shore. Had they put such a resolve in practice they would, in their exhausted state, and from the fury of the waves, doubtless•have perished. The approach of the people on the reef appeared to give the, crew confidence and hope of relief. The first in this daring exploit was Captain Maynard. A line was thrown from the vessel, which, after some delay, was seized by those on the reef, and by this means a hawser was sent along to - the rock. This was hauled tight, one end fastened to the bowsprit of the vessel, and the other to the projecting part of the rock. Over this hawser three men in succession passed from the reef to the vessel. This was an act of cool and daring courage, for had the rope either given way or slipped the men would have been precipitated into the raging sea, which still swept with much fury between the reef and the vessel. The first man who thus went on board was Thomas Bate ; the others were Henry Johnson, of Bude, sailor, and Henry Stapleton, of Bude, ship carpenter. By them the hawser was more securely fastened, and by this means three of the crew were preparing to follow, but at this time the rocket apparatus arrived, in charge of Mr. William Simp son, chief officer of the coast guard, by which means the remainder of the crew were safely -brought ashore. The National Lifeboat Institution voted a reward to the gallant men. Great Seizure of Stolen Watches. The North British Mail records the capture of a receiver of stolen watches as follows : " On Thursday last Mr. George Henderson, factor for English and Geneva watches, 20, Victoria-street, Edin burgh, was taken into custody at the Queen-street station of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and in his posses sion was found a small box, which on examination was found to contain eight silver watches and ono gold one, which have since been identified as having been stolen in Glasgow and neighbourhood within the last few weeks. Henderson's visits to Glasgow have for some time past been so frequent, and the localities which he visited so unlike those which a respectable wholesale factor in watches would patronise, that the detectives became somewhat curious as to the reasons which could induce him so to act. Their observations were reported to Superintendent M'Call, and it was decided that a close watch should be kept on the movements of Henderson on his next visit. That visit was made on Thursday last. His arrival was immediately made known to Mr. M'Call, who, accompanied by Mr. Audley Thomson, sub-inspector of the detective depart ment, kept an eye upon him till half-past one o'clock in the afternoon. At that time he wont to the railway station again, having under his arm a small square box, about which he seemed to be very solicitous. His manner, too, seemed anxious, as if he wished to avoid, as much as possible, all observation. He went into the booking-office, where he was followed, and as soon as he had laid down his box on the counter for the purpose of obtaining a ticket Mr. M'Call lifted it up, and asked, Is this yours ?' The reply was, Yes.' Mr. M'Call then further asked, What is it ?' Henderson said, 'A parcel.' The officers then remarked that they saw that, but wished to know what it contained. On that point, howtver,Henderson pretended to be profoundly ignorant, and, by way of explanation, stated that he had re ceived it from a hawker named Williamson, who had re quested him to carry it to the railway station, which he had obligingly done. The address on the box was 'Mr. Wil liamson, care of Mr. Henderson, Victoria-street, Edinburgh.' Mr. Henderson's explanation not being considered satis factory, he and the box were conveyed to the Central Police-office in a cab. The contents of the box, as already stated, were found to bo eight silver watches and ono gold one. Shortly afterwards the officers ob tained possession of two other boxes which Henderson had left in a shop at the Broomielaw, and on examination these, again,were found to contain 56 silver and 20 gold watches. The same afternoon Mr. M'Call despatched Sub-Inspector Thomson to Edinburgh to take possession of Hendersim's premises, and to search them thoroughly before the pro ceedings in Glasgow could become known to the friends of the accused. In the accomplishment of that mission Mr. Thomson was ably assisted by detectives Maloney and Dixon, of the Edinburgh force. The Glasgow officer re turned on Friday night, having been engaged on Thursday evening and all Friday in searching Henderson's premises. He brought with him 40 gold and 90 silver watches, to gether with 75 movements' in all stages of doctoring.' He also carried to Glasgow a large number of silver tea spoons, with different initials on them, such as W. T., J. N., D. E. N., &c. The dials and numbers of many of the watches have been tampered with and altered. While Sub-Inspector Thomson was prosecuting his search on Friday a box was delivered by the railway company at Henderson's premises. It was ascertained that it came from a Coventry house, and that it contained ' name pieces' renumbered, dials bleached,' and cases po lished up to look as if new. Foreign Mail Packet List.

HAMER.—FALSE REGISTRATION OF BIRTH.-Mr. Samuel Hamer surrendered at the Manchester police-court yesterday, before Mr. Fowler, the stipendiary magistrate, upon a warrant charging him with felony, under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, clause 41, cap. 86, 6th and 7th William IV., in having caused to be falsely registered in the superintendent's register of births for the Manchester district the birth of a certain child , named Margaret, the father's name being ent ere d as S amuel Hamer, and the mother's name as Margaret Hamer (formerly Lenyon), such child not being the daughter of the said Margaret Hamer. The alleged offence was com mitted on the 19th September, 1850. Mr. Bancroft, it will be recollected, has had two suits instituted against his wife, in the Divorce Court, for adultery, which failed. The short history of this case is that Mr. Bancroft, a few years ago married the mother of the child referred to above. He did not learn till after his marriage that his wife had had a child some 12 or 13 years before, which child, it appears, I was adopted by its uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Hamer, and registered as their child, the object being as far as possible to cover and conceal the disgrace of its mother then an unmarried woman. Mr. Torr, barrister, prosecuted, and Mr. Leresche, barrister, defended. Before the case was gone into Mr. Leresche took an objection. He said the Marriage Registration Act, 6th and 7th Wm. IV., c. 85, and the Births, &c., Registration Act, 6th . and 7th Wm. IV., c. 86, received the royal assent on the same day. A clause of the former act (23d) incorporated the two acts, and clause 41 provided that no prosecution under the act should be commenced unless brought within three years after the offence was committed. Mr. Torr contended that there being no clause in the Births, &c., Registration Act limiting the time for prosecutions the .objection did not apply. Though a clause of the Marriage Act incorporated the two acts, it could not have been intended the limita tion clause of that act should apply to the other. Mr. Leresche contended that every section of the one act ap plied to the other, as if they were the same act. The words of the 44th section were that this act shall be taken to be part of the same act, as if fully incorporated therewith. No words hardly could be stronger. Mr. Fowler said ho could not put any interpretation on this act but that re lied on by Mr. Leresche, and the warrant must be dis missed. If the other side chose to take the matter to a higher court, they might take a case. Mr. Torr said he would take time to consider. 100 100 100 100 1' 0 471 1 ICS 6 123 & ITIES. INES. fi 9 2s 29 600 610 Merchant Shipping of France. report has been lately presented to the Legis lative Body on the state of the Merchant Shipping of France and the best means of improving its position. The member who has drawn up the document is avowedly a man of great experience in such matters—M..Arman, the great shipbuilder, Deputy for the Gironde—and his statement repre -nuts the French mercantile navy in a very unsatis factory condition. The Presse remarks at consider able length on the report, and after an analysis of M. Arman's statements, declares that the Council of State is unwilling to go as far as the committee suggests in providing for the evil. The following passages from our contemporary contain some statis tical information of interest on the question : " From 1858 to 1863 the movement of the French flag in our colonial relations was reduced to the extent of 71 voyages ;—navigation with other French possessions out of Europe was diminished by 52 ships ; the deep sea fishery laid aside 121 vessels ; and we made 22 foreign voyages less. In 1864, on the entries and clearances of French vessels between our ports, our colonies, and our possessions out of Europe, we suffered a reduc tion of 11,000 tons; and we ceased to employ 8,000 in the deep sea fisheries. It is true that our relations with the countries of other continents, under our own flag, have increased 90,000 tons. The foreign merchant shipping everywhere sup plants us, both for our imports and exports. In 1864 it furnished as 2,710,000 tons, when we im ported only to the extent of 1,587,000 ; it cleared out with 1,723,000 tons, while we expected only 1,022,000 ; In 1858 our flag loaded 703,000 tons against 1,983,000 under the English flag ; in 1863 we preserve only 650,000 tons, and the freight of England has risen to 2,350,000. The following tabular statement also proves that our intercourse with the greater part of the other countries is car ried on to the detriment of our marine : Preach Ships. Foreign Ships. Russia 52,000 tons. 125,000 tons. Sweden Zollverein Netherlands 9,000 „ Spain Austria *ooo „ United States... 22,000 „ If we deduct, by a, calculation which is liable to no uncertainty from the Custom House tables, the figurer of our principal imports and exports in 1865, we find—importation under foreign flags, 12,590,721 quintals ; under the French flag, 5,746,160 quintals, leaving a difference to the loss of France, 6,844,561 quintals ; exportations under foreign flags, 1,039,930 quintals; under the French flag, 529,470, or a difference against France of 510,460 quintals. If we compare the number of ships loaded, en tered, and cleared in 1837 and 1863, we find for 1837, 337,095 ships; for 1863, 327,940 ships, or a decrease for France of 9,155 ships. Our long voy age foreign trading vessels at this moment comprise 538,000 tons, and we have only 73 vessels of 700 tons and upwards. England has a merchant ma rine of 5,228,073 tons, and she reckons 1,353 ves sels of more than 700 tons. Her development, corn pared to ours, is as 130 to 1. In 1863 she possessed 2,298 steamers, guaging 596,856 tons ; France had only 84,919 tons, divided amongst 345 steamers. In that same year England was increasing her packet-boats by 59,600 tons, and we only by 5,000." Such an inferiority, the writer observes, must be considered as extremely grave, particularly when free trade tends to continually develope the naval intercourse be- tween countries. The fault he attributes to the nature of the existing legislation, which aims at pro tecting without due reason a great number of branches of business which would be infinitely more prosperous without any such interference. In par ticular, it has inflicted such heavy duties on the in troduction into France of matters required for ship- building, and rendered the cost of transport by sea so excessive, that French vessels cannot compete with those of other countries. Another cause of decay is also specified :-- " The maritime inscription," says the writer, " on its side, weighs so heavily on the merchant navy, by depriving it of young and able seamen, that our crews always present an effective numerically greater to those of foreign vessels, a state of things which involves a much greater expense. Thus when, for every ten men, France embarks 177 tons Russia embarks 239 ; this difference in the case of Sweden amounts to from 190 to 257 tons ; in the case of England, from 120 to 141 tons ; of Aus- tria, from 190 to 206 ; and of the United States, from 268 to 407. The remedies, therefore, are very clearly indicated. The costs of construction should be lightened ; all the necessary materials admitted duty free ; the primes awarded to machinery of French manufactures to be received by our vessels suppressed ; and the naturalisation, at the lowest possible rate, of vessels constructed abroad should be promoted. The tonnage and differential duties must be suppressed, and the same benefits assured to French vessels in the ports of other nations. Above all, the maritime inscription should be re placed by a system of recruiting analogous to that of the army ; and we leave the moral side of this great question to regard its practical side only. The committee, we are bound to admit, desired all these things; but the Council of State objected to the last reform being provided for by the bill, as the Government is yet studying the question. Let us hope that it will soon yield to the reasons so strongly expressed in the work of M. Arman, and on which the committee, of which he is the organ, nsists with so much energy."

Abel Smith, Esq., and H. E. Sluices, Esq., were present, and stated in the most positive terms their intention of again contesting the county at the forthcoming election, and a letter was read from Sir E. B. Bulwer Lytton, Bart., expressing his determination to adopt a similar course. There are, therefore, three candidates in the field, and from the enthusiasm manifested by all pre sent, no doubt can be entertained of their triumphant re turn. We understand that the addresses of the three Con servative candidates will be published in the course of a few days; but from a natural reluctance prematurely to disturb the peace of the county they do not contemplate commencing an immediate canvass. No addresses have at present been issued by their Liberal opponents. 1428 SPORTING INTEL LIGENCE— This Da, ASCOT RACES—Tnrs DAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. FERNHILL STAKES.

STEALING THE LATE EDITION OF " THE SUN" NEWSPAPER. An auxiliary sortor, named Thompson, was indicted for stealing a newspaper (the late edition of The Sun), the pro-. porty of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The prisoner pleaded guilty. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Metcalf, who appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner was in the service of the Post-office authorities as an auxiliary sorter, and in the evening on which he stole the newspaper, he was engaged sorting the newspapers preparatory to the despatch of the evening mail. While he was performing his duty he was observed to place the paper in his pocket, and when he was taken into custody by the officer attached to the Post-office, he said he had taken the paper merely to-read the American news, as he had a son in that country. It however appeared that that explanation was not deemed necessary, es pecially as on searching him a gold watch and chain, a betting-book, and a large sum of money in gold. were found in his pocket. The inference was that ho had taken the paper for the purpose of making himself acquainted with the latest betting, which is always published in the third edition of The Sun. There was no desire to press severely against the prisoner, although such leniency would not be extended to other prisoners com mitting the same offence. All that was now required was a punishment sufficient to show that the Post-office authorities were desirous of making it known that the greatest care was taken of everything passing through that establishment. The counsel for the prisoner said his client had acted in a very imprudent manner in taking the paper but for a short time. He had a son in America, and being anxious about him ho had taken the paper not with the intention of stealing it, but of reading the American news, and re turning it to its proper place before the mail left. A number of witnesses gave the prisoner a very excel lent character for honesty. The Recorder said it was a very serious offence to inter - fere with any letter or parcel in its process through tho Post-office. Although it had been urged it was only a newspaper, yet that newspaper might have been of the greatest importance to the party to whom it was addressed, and it could not be too generally known that it was equally an offence to delay as it was to appropriate a letter or newspaper. The statement of the prisoner's counsel was just possible, although the fact that the prisoner had a betting book upon him favoured the suspicion that the paper was taken to ascertain the state of betting, and not to read the common news. Under all the circumstances ho should fine the prisoner .£5, and order him to ho detained in prison until the fino was paid however, another case of a similar nature was brought before him, the person committing the offence would not escape with a fine. THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF /POST-OFFICE MONEY-ORDER FORMS. Henry Charles Watson was indicted with stealing, forg ing, and uttering a number of Post-office money-orders, whereby the Post-office authorities had been defrauded to the extent of nearly £6OO. It will be recollected that a short time ago a very artful but ingenious fraud was per petrated upon a postmaster at Netherstowey, in Somerset shire, by a person who represented himself to be an in spector of the Post-office. The prisoner succeeded in obtain ing possession of nearly 400 blank forms, with the letters of advice, and the money-orders the prisoner had presented for payment were made out on some of the forms stolen on that occasion. The postmaster at Netherstowey was examined at great length, and repeated the evidence ho gave at Bow-street. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.

Mr. Charles Bulford has this day been promoted to tho rank of Acting Engineer in her Majesty's Fleet, with senio rity of Dec. 21, 1864. The number of passengers conveyed on the Metropolitan Railway in Whit Week this year was 370,843, and the total receipts £3,414, equal to £9lO per mile. The increased receipts over the Whit Week of last year was £1,200, or 54 per cent. This enormous traffic was conveyed with the greatest ease, the passengers being as rapidly conveyed from the station as they presented themselves. The Metropolitan Company also carried dur ing the same week about 85,000 persons in their trains over the Hammersmith and City line, and these figures give an idea of what the immense traffic must be when the exten sions of the Metropolitan and the Thames Embankment line are completed. The works of the City Extension of the line to Finsbury are being vigorously proceeded with, and the Junction with the London, Chatham, and Dover line is expected to be completed in a few weeks. The works also of the Metropolitan and St. John's-wood line have been commenced. 204 204 100 100 100 101 100 100 190 100 100 F 0 100 100 2.1.0 2.14.8 3.4.0 2.7.0 2.13.6 9.10.6 601 all 1.1.0 7.8.3 8.13 4.18.0, 4.3.0 21} 3 321 3.10.6 2.8.0 7.1.6 10.6.7, 3.12.81 105 4/ 1032 1 96 1001 I ......,, 1041
