S. mail), the Hamburg American Company decided sometime since to add two new steamers to their already powerful fleet. The first of these, the splen did has, within the last few days, screw-steamer Hammonia, made her trial trip; she has been built by Messrs. Caird and Co. , of Greenock, and no cost has been spared to render her one of the finest steamers afloat, as may be seen from the following particulars :—Length between perpendiculars, 330 feet ; breadth, 48 feet; depth, 34 feet ; builders' measurement, 3,000 tons ; engines, 500 nominal horse l power. On the trial trip she attained a speed of 15 knots, with 56 revolutions per minute ; steam, 25 lbs. ; vacuum, 27. She will be commanded by Capt. Ehlers, late of the Germania, and is appointed to sail on her first voyage for New York, from Hamburg, on the 3d March, and from Southamp ton on the 6th March. There is little doubt that, possessing the essential points of speed and safety, the Ilammonia will fully maintain the prestige of this celebrated line between the Continent and. America. The other new steamer, the Cambria (also built by Messrs. Caird), is appointed to make her first voyage to New York, sailing from Hamburg on the 31st March, and Southampton on the 3d April. She will be commanded by Capt. Traut mann, late of the Allemannia, alTd is in every respect equal, if not superior, to the Havionia. The addi tion of these steamers could not ha'e been made at a more opportune period, as the line 'will be one of themost favourite with American passengers coming to the Paris Exhibition.

AQUATICS. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE. OXFORD, Friday. The Oxfard crew, after numerous changes, may now bo considered as settled, Mr. Fish, of Worcester, having been selected to occupy the honourable and onerous post of stroke oar in the place of Mr. M. Brown, of Trinity, who was successful against the " light blue" on the last two occa sions. Mr. W. P. Bowman, the well-known University pedestrian, after being taken out of the boat for several days, has now become stationary as bow, but Mr. F. Crowder, of Brasenose, ono of last year's crow, has given place to Mr. G. H. Swinny, of Exeter. The crew, as will be seen from the weights below, will be a very heavy one, indeed, so much so much so that last year's victorious craft has been found incapable of carryiug the weight, and Salter's have a new boat on the stocks for the Oxonians as well as the Cantabs. The rowing of the men can hardly be judged of at present, but it is generally admitted there is the element for a good crew, strength, style, and lasting power being the chief attributes of the whole eight. The following are the names and weights of the men, as fur nished to us by the president: — OXFORD CREW. at lb 1. J. W. P. Bowman, University (bow)... 11 0 2. G. H. Swinny, Exeter ••• ... 12 1 3. E.

ETON COLLEGE.—Yesterday the boating ',season at Eton College was inaugurated with an aquatic procession ou the Thames, from Windsor-bridge to Surley-hall. Shortly after 12 o'clock the various crews arrived in rowing cos tumes, mustered on the rafts in front of Messrs. Searle, Goodman, and Tolladay's boat houses, and rowed up the river, the -crafts being marshalled under the supervision of Mr. W. D. Benson, the captain of the boats. Although cold, the weather was fine and bright, enticing a num ber of spectators to the, bridge and waterside to wit ness the procession. The boat-houses displayed a [pod show of bunting., The crews afterwards rowed back to Windsor. We are glad to hear that it is contemplated to erect an ornamental footbridge below Apsley Gate, which will enable pedestrians to cross over the roads and so avoid the danger of being ridden or driven over. :,) :SDAY. PUBLIC IM PROVEXIETS. A communication wad received from the parish of St Pancras, transmitting resolthions passed at a numerous meeting, expressing their determination to oppose by all the means in their poiver the bill introduced by Mr. Ayrton and Mr. Tite into the House of CommAls for the purpose of enabling this Board to raise the sum of 4 1. i❑ the pound over the entire metropolis for public improvements, stating that taxation in that parish had reached its utmost limit, and if the money must be provided it should be obtained from a further extension of the wine and corn duties. SEWAGE OF THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE METROPOLIS. The chairman proceeded to open tenders for the concession of the sewage of the southern side of the metropolis. The tenders were from Mr. D. Smith, Mr. C. Crampton, Mr. J. Moore, Mr. J. Sheeve3, Mr. G. Shepherd ; and Mr. Ellis sent a pamphlet, entitled " A Second Tender for the Sewage of the Southern Side of the Thames." These tenders were referred to the Works and General Purposes Com mittee. [cap) of 100 sovs ; winners of handicap after Fob. 2G, at 11 / .- (I' . _,...., :.. Z . v ..., / ‘ -' 1 " . .

A report was brought up from the Works and General Purposes Committee, stating, with reference to the memorial from Mr. Drew, Mr. Carpmael, and Mr. Flower, praying the board to take the necessary steps for securing the common of Tooting Bec as an open space, that they have authorised the solicitor to state to the Master of the Rolls what steps have been taken in the matter, and that should the board be enabled eventually to carry out the arrangement contemplated, their object will be to devote the common for ever (with the exception of small out lying portions) as an open space for the use of the inhabitants of the metropolis. Mr. FREEMAN moved the adoption of the report, which was agreed to without discussion. ARTISANS AND LABOURERS DWELLINGS BILL. The Works and General Purposes Committee re ported that they were of opinion that as the Artisans and Labourers Bill involved new principles of taxa tios it required theserious consideration of theboard. Mr. SHAW said he agreed with the committee that a very serious question was raised by the bill, as the question was whether this board should tax the rate payers to supply the funds for building houses f..r artisans and labourers. Ther3 were persons who bad various plans for this purpose, and if carried out he thought they might not only be profitable, but wry beneficial; but as there was a proposition for them to build houses at the expense of the ratepayers, he hoped the board would have nothing to do with the bill. The CHAIRMAN said the feeling of the ,committee was that the bill proposed a new system of taxation, for it was such an enlargement of the statute of Elizabeth that it might become a serious matter to the ratepayers. If they were to charge the rate payers for building these houses for artisans and la bourers, then it was a question that demanded seri ous consideration on the part of the board. The ma chinery pointed out on the bill to be used he considered to be most objectionable, as the board was to be set in motion by the grand Jury. Ile did not consider that this was a proper body to originate proceedings to rate the metropolis. The first question was, was that a mode of taxation consistent with the statute of Elizabeth and the general municipal government of the metropolis ? There was no doubt that a large number of houses were unfit for human habitations, they were dens of fever and disease, and the inhabi tants of then► suffered a great civil wrong ; but it was the duty of Parliament to step in and put a stop to the occupation of houses till condition of which rendered them unfit for human habitations. They ought to bring about a practical remedy, either I,y sacrificing the property, or compelling the owners to put them into a proper condition and fit for the use of the poor. Therefore the committee were the more desirous to call the attention of the board to the bill. If they thought the bill was not offensive in principle, and that its details could be amended in committee, then they could vote that the subject should be referred back to the committee ; but if they did agree to the principle, then it would be their duty to oppose the preamble. The board had, therefore, then to determine what course they would pursue. Mr. SAUNDERS believed that the principle of the bill was a good one, and only required a little care ful arrangement of the details. Mr. LE BRETON moved that the subject be re ferred back to the Works and General Purposes Committee to petition for such modifications in the bill as they may consider to be advisable. If the board were to set their faces against the bill in tote they would get into great disgrace with the public. Mr. ROCHE seconded the motion. Mr. TURNER thought it would be precipitate to assent to the principle of the bill, and for it to be supposed that they only objected to the details. lie for one was not at present prepared even to assent to the principle of the bill. Mr. FREEMAN said the principle was not a new one, but one that had been long acted upon by the board in the making of parks for the recreation of the people ; and even their sewerage works were for the public benefit. This was a sanatory improve ment for the purpose of giving a healthy, decent dwelling place for the poor man to live in. Two thirds of the poor rates went for the relief of the poor, the halt, the lame, and the blind, and the other third went to relieve those who suffered by disease engendered by unwholesome dwellings, as they iu their sickness were thrown for support upon the poor rates. He therefore supported the principle of the bill. CoLiaNsorr also supported the bill. Mr. ELT said if this bill was passed the board would become speculative builders on a large scale, or jobbers for extensive repairs, add there would be no end of their liability. Some other members having expressed their views upon the consequences of the passing of this bill, The CHAIRMAN put the motion, which was carried with two dissentients. THE TRAFFIC REGULATION (METROPOLIS) BILL. A report was brought up frcm the Works and General Purposes Committee, stating, with refer ence to the Traffic Regulation (Metropolis) Bill, 1867, which was referred to the committee, with authority to communicate with the several vestries and district boards of the metropolis to ascertain their opinions on its provisions, that the committee do not consider it expedient to send such communi cation. This recommendation led to a long discus sion, but On the motion of Mr. ROCIIE, it was agreed that the subject should be referred back to the Works and Improvements Committee, and that they be in structed to conduct an opposition to the bill, and that the clerk do communicate to the vestries the intention of the board to oppose the Lill. THE NEW LAW COURTS Mr.ROCIIE moved, "That permission be given to Captain Shaw to advise the Courts of Justice Con centration Commission as to the arrangements for the protection of the new law courts from fire, and that he be authorised to receive from the commis sion such remuneration as they may offer him for his services." The motion was agreed to. PAIILUMENTARY CONMITTEM. Mr. LE BRETON moved, " That a committee, con sisting of the chairman of the board, the members of the board who are members of Parliament, and five other members, be appointed to watch and pro mote the progress of th•J bills introduced by this board in the present session of Parliament, and that it be left to such committee to adopt such course with regard to such bills as may appear to them most desirable for the interests of the public, and that they do report to the board weekly th e stc.Ts which may be taken." This motion was agreed to without discussion. PROGRESS OF TILE THAMES EMBANKMENT WORKS. The Engineer read a long report on the progress of the Thames Embankment Works, which, on the whole, were going on very satisfactorily. The other business was disposed of, and the hoard adjourned.
