METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. (This Day.) The weekly meeting of this board was held this after noon at the Council Chambers, Guildhall; Mr. Thwaites, in the chair. DRAINAGE OF THE DISTRICTS SOUTH OF THE THAMES. The principal subject brought before the board was the report of the engineer, Mr. Bazelgette, relating to the drainage of the districts south of the Thames, which was read and afterwards ordered to be printed for the information of the board, and its consideration was ac cordingly adjourned. - - The following is the elaborate report of the engineer on Via important subject : " Greek-street, Soho, 3d April, 1356. " Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen—ln carrying out the foregoing instructions, my attention has been directed first to that portion of the metropolis which lies upon the south side of the river, where improved drainage is most ur gently required. The Board will probably remember that in 12•53, pursuant to directions by the then Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers, designs for intercepting sewer, on the south side of the river were prepared by me. The plan now submitted for your cousileration will be found to resemble, in its main fe Acres, the former scheme ; it ttieref9re becomes necessary to recapitulate several of the lea liug considerations referred to in my report of 1853, and in the joint report by Mr. Haywood and myself upon th. northern drainage in 1851, whilst I have at the same time endeavoured to take advantage of all the information gained in the subsequent preparation of the northern drainage scheme, and to profit by the experience of the last three years. The modifications now introduced will, I trust, be regarded by you as improvements. " In 1849 tha Commissioners of Sewers publicly invited plans and suggestions for the main drainage of the metro polis, and their invitation was warmly responded to by many who were interested in the subject. 116 plans were sent in ; all of which I, in conjunction with Mr. Cresy, examined and classified, and they were reported on by a committee of the Commissioners of Sewers, consisting of Sir J. F. Burgoyne, Captain Vetch, Jas. M. Hendel, Esq., Captain H. 1). Harness, and Robert Stephenson, Fsq., whose report was printed and laid before Parliament. other plan sand suggestions subsequently received' were considered and printed by the Commissioners of Sewers. " The late Commission expressed their unwillingness to receive further plans and suggestions, and about 27 were sent in and are now before this Board.o They have been arranged and classified, and a summary of thorn is ap pended to this report (see Appendix A), whilst it is diffi cult to select any one of them as deserving your exclusive at tention, wavy of them bear marks of great thought and labour, and 1 acknowledge with pleasure that most of them contain some useful information or hint. " Almost every suggestion which can be made upon the subject has been now so often repeated in some shape or other, that it would be difficult to determine who were the first authors of the various schemes and theories pro pounded. Having had the advantage of access to all, 1 cannot pretend to much originality, my endeavour has be-n practically to apply suggestions, originating in a large measure with others, to the peculiar wants and features of the different districts, with which my position has made fumii tr. _ " Before entering into the details of the plan of drainage now proposed, it may be well briefly to consider what are the natural features awl requirements of the district to be dealt with, and what the objects sought to be gained. " Half of the southern area extends along the south bank of the Thames, and the surface of the ground is generally below high water in the river, varying from its level, to six feet below it. " This tract is by nature a marsh, which has been re claimed from the river by artificial embankments, and is now closely built over, and thickly inhabited, forming a large and important portion of the metropolis. Many of the houses have basements and cellars below the surface, and the sewers which are beneath them are necessarily so low that they can only discharge their contents into the river for about four hours each tide. The sewers being close.' at their outlets for the remaining eight hours, be come reservoirs of stagnant sewage for 16 hours in every day, and unavoidably accumulate deposit. To maintain a continual and unintermitting flow in the sewers of this low district and to drain the cellars and subsoil effectually so as to make thorn dry and healthy, demands the aid of pumping. The effe'se, of which has been described by Sir Cubitt and Mr. Stephenson in their report of the 17th Oct., 1833, as being tantamount to raising the level of the district 0 feet, producing in its sewers a continu e Ils and P.m discharge, and entirely overcoming the natu ral disadvantages of its situation. " The remaining portion of the South Metropolitan area is at present thinly covered with buildings, which are, however, rapidly-increasing as the suburbs of the Metre polls extend. The surface of the ground rises gradu ally from the level of the low district to an extreme ele vation of about3so feet, and the rain %vett rs which full upon the high district descend with groat rapidity into the sewers of the low district, which being tide-locked, as already described, and of insufficient capacity to store a large and sudden influx of storm waters, during high water in the river, become overcharged, and in such cases the sewage floods and destroys much valuable property. The suddenness and destructiveness of these inundations increases in proportion to the progress of building and drainage iu the upper district. To remedy the evil arising from this cause, it is proposed to intercept the waters of the upper district, so as to prevent their descending into the low district, by forming a hi ghlevel or, catchwater sewer, with a free outlet and a constant discharge by gravitae Lion. The risk and expense attending the process of pump ing a large body of water pouring down suddenly at iriegular intervals, where any interruptions in the process would be productive of great inconvenience and loss, ren ders it, in my opinion, expedient to get rid of all the up land waters in the manner proposed, by a high level or cistchwater sewer, instead of allowing them to add to the difficulties, sufficiently formidable in themselves, arising from the waters falling upon the low district "In the plan now proposed, the objects sought to be attained - are twofold and distinct,-Ist, to provide proved outfalls for the drainage of the entire area , and 2d, by a system of interception to relieve the Thames from the po lotion to which it is now subjected. Some of the sewers proposed are designed to serve the double purpose of drain ing and interception, whilst others are simply "Intercept ing Sewers," anti do not, of themselves, drain the district through which they pass, but merely supply artificial eh:mares by which the sewage is diverted from the drain age sewers, and carried away to a new and less objection able point of discharge into the river. " With regard to the point of discharge; I cannot do better than quote from the report of Mr. Stephenson and Sir William Cubitt, dated the 11th December, 185 r, wherein they give the following brief summary of a eerie, of experiments made by the late Mr. Frank Forster upou the subject. " Oa the 15th of July, 1831, a float was put into the centre of the river, opposite learkiug Creek, two h airs after high water. This time was chosen because it wee found that sewage discharged into the liver two hours before high water, arrived at shout the same point above Barking Creek that sewage discharged two hours after high water did by the next flood tide. At low water it reached Ili miles below that point, and returned with the next flood tide to one mile above it , having gone 121 miles that flood, it being then the period of spring tiles. " As the neaps came on the float continued to wink lower down each succeeding high water, and by the 21th of July it was 13 miles below Barking Creek at high water, having gone down the river 14 miles during tie falling off of spring tides to neap tides : As the flood again became stronger, it worked up the river each succeeding tide until the 29th of July, when it again became within five miles below Barking Creek at high water, having worked up the river 9 miles from high water neap tidos to high water spring tides, the excess of the ebbs over the floods being only 5 miles in 14 days. " Another experiment was tried at the same place on the Gth of August, 1851, it being then lowest neaps, and the float being put down two bouts after high water. It worked up each succeeding high water till top springs on the 12th of August, when it reached 6e miles above Bark ing Creek at high water. Thu float then again worked down the river till the 20th of August, being neaps when at high water, it reached 91 wiles below Barking Creek, being a distance of 16 miles, during the feliiug off or spring tides to neap tidos. The excess of the ebbs overthe floods would, in this case, have been about 7 wiles in 14 days. The wind and other causes would vary the result ; but it may be roughly assumed that a substance in suspension works up the river about one mile a day each high water as the springs strengthen, and down the river two miles a day as they fall off. " ' The main object was, of course, to determine how near to London the sewage could be discharged into the river at or near high water, without finding its way beck again to the inhabited parts of the town. The experiments proved that it was essential to go as far as Barking Creek, and also as regards the level of discharge, they demon strated that it should take place at or near high water as practicable.' " Now, although it is desirable to fix the place of dis charge as far below the metropolis as possible, it will be found that a practical limit to it is imposed by the neces sity of maintaining sufficient fall iu the sewers to keep theta clean, and at the seine time of preserving as a safety valve a discharge into the river at low water by gravitation, in case of accident to the pumps, as well as during exces sive floods. It must be borne in mind 'that the delivery of the sewage at high water into the river at any point, is equivalent to its discharge at low water at a point 12 miles lower down the liver • therefore the construction of 12 miles of sewer is saved by discharging the sewage at high instead of at low water.' "The position selected is Plumstead-marshes, and the period of dischrrging the sewage into the river would be from two to four hours nearest to high water. " The amount of sewage proposed to be intercepted from the more closely inhabited districts has been estimated upon data, which makes provision fur the increase of future generations. " Thus, where the population, as at present existing. exceeds 30,000 to the square mile, the actual numbers are estimated for ; and where it is less allowance has been made for that number, in order to provide for future in crease. The supply of water per head has been reckoned at five cubic feet per diem, being on a more liberal scale than now actually obtained; and of this qu. ntity it is contemplated that one-half will pass away during six home of the day. " For reasons more fully set forth in former report, it is proposed, in the urban districts, to intercept a quarter of an inch of rain in 24 hours, which is at the rate of about 100th part of an inch per hour ; any excess beyond that amount, falling oa occasions of heavy storms, being discharged into the river by the drainage sewers. " With a view to economy by the reduction of the sizes of the sewers, as far as practicable, it is now propreted to continue the drainage of all those portions of the subtitles which are net likely to be belt upon for many years to come, into their natural valley outfalls; and where build ing has already commenced, and is likely to be extended, to provide for an increase of population varying from 10,000 to 20,000 to the square wile instead of 30,00 )• Tt is further proposed, from the more thinly-peopled suburbs, to carry off by the intercepting sewers only one-half of the quantity of rain water f)c which provision is made in the more crowded districts. " The 'different areas drained, and the quantities pro posed to be intercepted, are stated in detail in a table ap pended to this report. (See appendix B.) "The sizes of sowers, their inclinations, and their dis charging powers, under various conditions, are important considerations in forming a drainage scheme. In the pre sent instance it is a matter of moment to economise the fall so as to reduce the amount of pumping, and, as far as practicable, t preserve safety outlets into the river, and in order thereto to adopt the minimum velocity sufficient to keep 'the sewer a free from deposit ; the velocity depending upon the fall in. the sewers of a &ail size.' .Upon this eioiritiMre Wicketead in his report upon the drainage of Leicester (p. 19), states, From experiments made by me with great oare, I Said that with a bottom velocity of 16 inches per second only (or 0.0 miles per hour), heavy pieces of brick, stone, &c., will be removed, and that with a velocity of 21i inches (or 1.24 miles per hour), even iron borings and heavy slag will be removed. The above minimum velocity will there tore be sufficient.' Mr. Beardmore, in his work on Hy draulics, states (r. 8) that A. velocity of 153 feet per minute (or 14 miles per hour), will generally prevent de posit in pipes and sewers.' Mr. John Phillips states (see irst report of Sanitary Commission, 1817, p. 177), From observation and experiment, I find that it requires a constant velocity of current to be running through the ~e wers, equal to about feet per second, or 14 miles per h mr, to prevent the soil from depositing within them.' "Professor Robinson, in his ' Theory of Rivers,' states, •it page 465, that " we learn from observation that a ve lecity of three inches per second at the bottom will just begin to work upon fine clay for pottery, and, however irne and compact it may be, it will turn it up. . . . A. velocity of six inches will lift fine sand ; eight inches mill lift sand as coarse as linseed ; 12 inches will sweep, Tong fine gravel ; 24 inches will roll along rounded pebbles oi inch in diameter, and it requires three feet per second .t the bottom to sweep along shivery angular stones of the size of an egg.' "Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Hawkesley consider a velocity of two miles per hour ample where there is a continual stream, and these opinions are further confirmed by the , xperience of Mr. Haywood and myself. With reference to the fall requisite to produce this velocity, the calculations universally adopted by hydrau !ic experimenters and engineers, and upon which my esti tastes are based, show that in a sewer Oft. Gin, in dia meter with a fall of 2 feet per mile, the mean velocity vould he about 2 miles per hour when running three quarters full, or 1 . 88 miles per hour when running half roll, and about 1 2.31 miles per hour when running one third full. " But the velocity of a stream is governed by the di mensions of its channel, as well as by its rate of fall. Thee, in a sewer 10 feet in diameter with a fall of 2 feet 'eer mile, there will be the same mean velocity of stream when running half full, as in a sewer 2 feet in diameter with a fall of 10 feet per mile. " Where ecoeolny of fall is required, it is desireable, so far as other considerations will permit, to graduate the leclivity of the sewers so as to produce an uniform rate of flow in them, and thus to avoid a waste of fall in one portion of the design, and an insufficient velocity in an other. " When the proper velocity and the practicable limits which can be assigeed to the fall are ascertained, it is easy to determine the size of the sewer requisite to carry off a constant and defined quantity of sewage in a given time. "On the other hand, when in dealing with drainage outfalls, we have to provide for rains variable in amount and duration, and where absorption, evaporation, ►nd the time occupied by the waters in flowing from the points on which they fall, over various surfaces and levels to the point of discharge have to be taken into account, the question is more com plicated, and it is under such conditions that we are in d:kited to Mr. Hawkesley's formulae, with respect to which Nfr. Stephenson and Sir William Cubitt in their report of the 11th December, 1854, stated that, 'No part of engi neering science has been more industriously investigated than the laws that govern the flow of water in pipes and open channels; and it is probably not too much to say, that the formulae which represent these laws rank amongst the most truthful that the professional man possesses. They have been the subject of laborious experimental in vestigation of the most elaborate character, and their re sults have been tested by the practical under every variety of conditions, without their truth being impugned in the slightest degree. The principles upon which they are founded have been sanctioned and adopted by Prong, Eytelivein, Du Beat, and others; and it is to them that we are indebted, in a great measure, for the simple practi cal form which they present. Our own engineers have modified them to suit particular circumstances, and given them more extensive usefulness. Mr. Hawkesley, amongst others, has especially contributed to render the principles which they embrace applicable to almost every variety of condition which the complete drainage of largo towns in volves, and we shall have occasion, almost immediately, to adduce some instances within the meta opolis, where the facts confirm theoretical deductions in a very remarkable manner, and lead irresistibly to the conclusion that they may be implicitly depended on.' "The sizes of the sewers required at the various points of interception are given in the tables and sections ap pended to this report. A circular form has been adopted in this preliminary design, i❑ order to facilitate the pre paration of the estimates, and calculations of discharging power ; but it is proposed to execute them of a slightly eliptical form, which is preferable in point of strength, and the alteration will have no appreciable effect upon the estimates or design. " Having thus briefly touched upon several of the more leading general principles which govern the design, we now proceed to the consideration of the works proposed. " THE HIGH LEVEL SEWER. "The high level sewer is designed to act in the double capacity of a drainage and an intercepting sewer; it will ultimately divert the sewage and a portion of the rainfall due to 14 square miles 518 acres of the upper district from the low district, conveying them away by gravitation to the level of low water in Plumstead Marshes ; the storm waters alone beiag suffered to descend into Deptford Creek. Its route varies but little from that of the high level sewer designed in 1853. It commences at Clapham-common, at such a level, and with such a capacity as will enable it at some future time to be extended to Tooting and to Batter sea-rise. Passing along the High-street, and through Stockwell-green, it intercepts the Effra Sewer at the junc tion of the Brixton and Loughborough-roads, and con tinues through fields and garden ground, and along Cold aarbour lane to Pligh-street, C tmberwell, where it intercepts the Earl Sewer. Thence its course is along Love-walk and fields to the Victoria-road, Peckham. At this point it receives the Effra branch, and thence con tinues eastward, through private ground between the New Cross-read and Nunhead Cemetery, intercepting the Peck ham, and Peckham-rye branches •f the Earl sewer in its route ; and passing underneath the Brighton and North Kent Railways at New Cross stations. Thence it proceeds under the Ravensbourne and along the Greenwich-road into the Woolwich extension line near to Deptford Pump ing station. It discharges its storm waters, during heavy rains, by an overflow into Deptford Creek ; the effect of which will be on mach occasions to flush away the mud and refuse now collected in the creek, and to deepen and improve its channel. " Eton) Deptford Creek the united streams of the high an i low level sewers flow through the extension sewer, by gravitation along the Trafalgar-road, and the Green wich and Woolwich lower road to Woolwich. Thence under Albion-road, Gearge-street, Church-street, the churchyard and private property to Powis-street, across Beresford square, and along the Plumstead-road ; round the south-oast corner of the Arsenal, and in a direct line across Plunastead-wirshes to a point opposite to Barking Creek, its level there being th it of low water at spring tides. The total length of this lino of newer from Clapham to its outfall will be about 11 miles 4,170 feet. " HIGH LEVEL BitANCH. f` This branch commences by a junction with the Effra Ipen sewer at Croxted-lane, near Dulwich, and joins the main level in the Lyndhurst-road, Peckham, being about two miles 565 feet in length. It affords a deep outfall for Dulwich, which is now lly drained and subjected to floods, and it saves the covering of a considerable portion of the Effra sewer, which takes a more circuitous and less advantageous route. " THE LOW LEVEL SEWER. " By the low level sewer provision is made for the inter ,!option of the sewage from a district which may eveetually be extended over 22 square miles. This sewer commences at the High-street, Putney, passes along Wandsworth lane, through, Wandsworth, and under the Wendt°, into the York-road, through Battersea-fields, along Priory road, Lansdowne-road, the Clapham-road, and Holland street to the Brixton-road, intercepting in its course all the main sewers near the river Thames, and being provided with penstocks and storm overflows, by moans of which the currents in these sewers will be placed under, command. At the junction of the Brixton and Vassall reads the Effra will bo again intercepted, and its present defective condition in this locality remedied. The lower portion of the Effra will then he reconstructed of a much snial;er size than at present, with a fall from the river to the low level • sewer, to which it will act as a storm overflow. "At the junction of the Camberwell and Albany roads the Earl sewer will be intercepted. From thence the main lino proceeds along the north side of, and under the Grand Surrey Canal, to the Old Kent-road, where the Peckham branch of the Earl sewer is intercepted. Thence the low level sewer proceeds in a direct line across the fields and market gardens, under the Brighton and North K , nt Rail-, ways, to the junction of Giffen-street with High-street, Deptford. Here it receives the north branch, and is pro vided with an overflow into the river at, low water. It then proceeds between the gas and vitriol works, near the Greenwich Railway, under Deptford Creek, to the pump ing station on the banks of the Creek. The total length of this line, from Putney to Deptford, is about 9 miles 2,550 feet. " LOW TOWEL OR BERMONDSEY BRANCH. "This branch commences at St. James's Church, Rother hithe, at which point it forms a coniection with, and sup plies an outfall to, the Battle-bridge, the Earl, the Great Saint John, and the Duffield Sewers, and thus completes the interception of the sewage from the low district. It passes through private ground into and along the Dept ford Lower Road, under the Grand Surrey Canal, along Evelyn street and High-street, Deptford , where it dis charges into the main sewer. " DEPTEORD PUMPING STATION. "The position selected for the pumping station is a piece of waste land on the east bank of Deptford Creek, south of the Greenwich Railway, and neat the Gas and Vitriol Works, at which point the sewage from the low level sewer is raised to the high level. • "The invert of the low level sewer will here be about 204 feet below that of the high level and the extension sea ere, and about 30 ' feet below Trinity high water mark.. Pumps and engines equal to 520 nominal horse power will be required, and it is proposed to provide duplicate engines in cases of accident an i repairs. There will be no reser voirs, and the engines and pumps will be covered so that the sewage will not be exposed, and no inconveniences will arise therefrom. " RESERVJIR AND ENGINES AT PLUMSTEAD MARSHES. "In order, finally, to discharge the sewage into the centre and bottom of the river within from two to four hours nearest to high water only, it is proposed to °oust ruot upon the banks of the river a covered reservoir capble of con taing 4,000,000 cubic feet of sewage, to be raised into it from the main outfall sewer. The land required for the reservoir. engine -houses, pumps, &c., would be about 15 acres. The lift being about 21 feet, 657 nominal horse- p pro ower will be reuired to raise the sewag and it is posed here to pr q ovide duplicate engines e, as at Deptford Creek. ENGINE POWER. " The total amount of engine power to be provided will be about 2,354 nominal horse-power, and the annual cost of pumping will probably amount to 12,000/ on the cost aver age, or about one-third more than the present of cleansing the tide locked district sewers. " The effect produced by the Deptford Pumping Station upon these sewers, would be so beneficial as largely to re . dues the present annual cost of cleansing them, and thus to diminish this increased.annual expenditure. "The estimated cost of tho works herein recommended will be as follows: " ESTIMATE• High level level sewer, from Clapham to Deptford, and 5 1 0 Branch. ..................... . 2 1 1 5 9 59, ' Extension from Deptford to Plumstead Low Level Sewer from P utne y to De p tford, a nd Branch ........ . ................... .. ............. . 209,000 Reservoir and Land for Purowng Stations Engine-houses, Engines, PUMPS, /Sze 161,780 Total 1,696 .. " Having given the design now submitted to you my best consideration, I present this report under a deep sense of the gigantio magnitude and importance of the eubjeot, and fully impressed with a knowledge of the fact, that there is room for great variety of opinion upon many of the points involved in it. I cannot., however. but express my full confidence in the soundness of the leading prin ciples which govern the deign, confirmed as they are by the experience of other engineers, as well 39 my own; al though it is possible that some of the details may be ad vants,geously modified during the regress of the wot " The execution of the design is not free from engineer ing difficulties in several points, but difficulties of a similar nature have already been successfully overcome in this me tropolis, and this will probably be corsidered a sufficient guarantee that none will now occur which cannot as rea dily be:surmounted.—l have the honour to remain, gen tlemen, " - Voir obedient servant.

Sir Richard Saunders Dundas, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief "of the ex-Baltic fleet, re turned to Spithead yesterday and rehoisted his flag on board the Duke of Wellington. Strong south-easterly gales blew all day yesterday, accompanied by rain and fog, which for the most part obscured the view of the roadstead from the shore ; the ships struck their t pgal lantrnasts and made snug below. Tne fleet was aug mented yester lay by the arrival from Devonport of tee Brunswick, 80, Captain Yelverton, C 8., which fired a salute for the port admiral on anclaming at the Mother bank. It is reported that her Majesty will proceed from London to Portsmouth on the mornii g of the 16th to re view the fleet, and return to town the same evening. It is also rumoured that the Plenipotentiaries now at Paris will visit Erieland and be present at the review. It is supposed that the members of both Houses of Par liament will also be present, and that the naval troop steam frigates now in harbour will he devoted to their service. There were 111 sail of the fleet t i be reviewed already as-embled yesterday, and the South-Western and Brighton and South Coast Railway Companies are making preparations with the view of conveying as much additional traffic to the scene of interest as can be accomplished with safety to the public. The naval re view of 1814 in the presence of the allied Sovereigns, after the peace of that day, was a mere yachting display compared with the spectacle now contemplated. Her Majesty's yacht Osborne, it is believed, will be specially commissioned for the service of the Plenipotentiaries on the occasion. The following steam transports, having been refitted, are at Liverpool waiting for orders t proceed to the Black Sea, for the purpose of bringing home British troops :—Bahiana (16) ; Emperor (167); Kangaroo (29); Khersonese (10) ; Alps (82) ; and Andes (100). Some naval volunteers were forwarded from Liverpool to London on Wednesday night. The Tortoise Admiralty lighter arrivad in the Mersey on Wednesday with naval stores, consigned to Captain Bevis, R N., the Admiralty agent at Liverpool. Her Majesty's steamer Geyser sailed from Liverpool for Portsmouth on Wednesday, with the new gun-boats Raven and Redbreast. She is expected to return in a few days for more gun-boats. Her Majesty's gun-boats Pert and Onyx, of 212 tons each, were launched from Messrs. Young, Son, and Magnay's Lime house dockyard yesterday, and were im mediately taken in tow by the steam-tug Monkey, and proceeded to Woolwich to be fitted. Tn 9 cerem , ny of bristening was performed by two French ladies, the M.sses Bdloc, of St. Gertnain's. Tile hired steam transport Victoria (No. 72) Captain Thornhill, with 200 officers and men of the Land Trans port Corps, sailed from Plymouth oil Wednesday fur the Crimea. The repairs and improvements of her Majesty's screw despatch vessel Intrepid, Commander Wood,. 'are com pleted. She was yesterday morning unlocked, and is to resume her voyage to-day from Woolwich. Admiral B twles paid a visit of inspection to the vari ous departments of Woolwich dockyard yesterday. Master Commander Allen, of the Sprightly, has been ordered to transfer his crew to her M ijesty's paddle wheel steamer Princess Alice, at Woolxich, for the pur pose of conveying her down to Portsmouth for the forth coming review. The Princess Alice has been nearly rebuilt. II r Majesty's iron paddle-wheel steamer Antelope, Lieut. Charles H. Young commanding, arrived at Wool wich yesterday morning, last from Portsmouth, and is to be hauled into basin to be dismantled. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steamer Otter arrived yesterday morning at Woolwich from Sheerness, and having discharged her cargo, which c tninsted of Admi ralty gear for the dockyard, she returned at noon to Sh,ert ese. On Tuesday the new Port• Admiral, Sir Henry D Chads, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral of the White, hoisted his flag on board her Majesty's ship Conway, at Queens town. MARK:ea' Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Very moderate supplies of English wheat —2,050 qusr ters —have arrived coastwise this week. Flesh up to-day the receipts by land carriage wore small, and the show of sampleA of both red and white was limited. For t.-.ost kinds we had a steady demand, an , l, in some instances, prices were the turn higher than on Monday. Foreign wheat, the ..upply of which was by no means extcn , ive, was stewly, but the business doing in it was very moderate, at Monday's quotations. There was a firm demand for barley, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Malt was firm, but not dearar.

Yesterday, a Court of the members of the Corporation "in con - 111;10n council assembled," was held at their Chamber in the Guildhall, for the despatch of publics business. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayer took the chair at twelve o'clock at noo❑ precisely. Mr. WOODTHORPE read the minutes of the last meet ing, which were allowed to have been correctly tran -scribed on the journals of the Court. REFORM OF THE CORPORATION. The REMEMBRANCER.—T have, my Lord Mayer, to report to this Honourable Court, that Sir George Grey has brought into the House of Commons a bill for the reform of the Corporation of the City of London, which has been read a first time. (Hear, hear.) Immediately after this announcement had been made. Mr. JOHN WOOD, the Chairman of the Consolidated Committee, and Mr. WILLIAM JONES, the Coairman of the Conference. Committee, rose simultaneously to ad dress the Court. Mr. Wood struggled manfully to ob tain a hearing, standing upon his right of precedence as the Chairman of a committee to whom the question had for many years been referred ; while Mr. Jones likewise maintained his ground in consequence of his having charge of a report relative to the bill for the reform of the corporation, notice of which appeartd upon the paper of business. In the midst of loud cries of "John Wood" and " , Jones," and much clamour, the LORD MATOn said, "The bet way of di-posing of the difficulty will he to put the question as to which of the gentlemen should be first heard." This was done, when it was decided by large majority that Mr. Wood should be heard first. _ Mr. WOOD then said—My lord and gentlemen, if ever there was a time when it was necessary that the mem bers of this court should be cool and collected. this is the time. (Hear, hear.) I can assure the court that it is net my intention upon this occasion to make any state. ments in opposition to the reception of the report of the Cenference Committee, with the charge of which my friend Mr. Jones is entrusted ; indeed I do not know what that report contains, teceigh I have had a good deal to do with the subject matter of which I may sup. pose it to treat. I ant auxiese, my lord, to Pay a few words to the court, so as to suggest to the members of the corporation what I would propose for them to do at the present crisis— Mr. JONES—My lord, I wish to draw the attention of the court to--(Cries of "Order, order.") At this juncture a member moved that " strangeri should withdraw." This was followed by continued shouts of " No, no." Deputy HOLT—Perhaps, my lord, it might be con. veneet to asc. rtain the opinion of the court upon that proposition. (No.) Mr. ANDERTON—If the court comes to a decision to exclude strangers, I shall move at once that the court be adjourned altogether. (Hear.) Mr. Jones still remaining standing, the calls npon Mr. Wood to proceed became general. Order having been at length restored, Mr. WOOD raid—My lord and gentlemen, I have again to say that it is necessary, absolutely necessary, that we should calmly and dispassionately consider the matter be foreus. \Vecannotdiscuss the proposals of reform intro. duced by the Government into the bill to which the Re membrancer bas called the attention of the Court; indeed, up to this time, we have not obtained a copy of this bill ; still, I have no doubt you have seen the report in the public papers of the speech of Sir G. Grey, which, no doubt, is a correct epitome of the measure as pro posed by the Government. (Hear.) The question in my mind is, the best way of dealing with the subject when it shall come fully before us, whether it should be discussed in a large committee, or by a committee of the whole Court. (Hear.) It was but yesterday that I put in the bands of the Town Clerk a notice of motion to refer the consideration of the subject to the Consoli dated Committee. (No, no.) Why, gentlemen, that is a large committee ; it consists of beta eon 50 And 60 members, and has upon it 14 aldermen, a commoner from each of the wards, the chairmen of the several c nnmittees and of the Commissioners of Sewers for the time being. Since I gave the notice, however, I have seriously reflected upon the matter, and I have thought whether it would not be better to have the question die cussed in a committee of the whole court. (Hear, hear, and cries of " Tire whole court.") I think it will be a waste of time to refer it to the Consolidated Committee, especially as the time presses ; and I shall, therefore, take upon myself to move—and I hope some one will second my motion—" That the question be referred to a committee of the whole court, to take such stens with reference to the communication made by the Remem brancer as may be considered necessary." (Cheers.) Mr. JONES—I second the motion. (Applause ) male an attempt te obtain a hearing, considering that if the report of the Conference Committee hai been read it would have been a convenience to many of the members of the Court, who do not belong to the committee, by their being put in possession of many of the facts of the ca.e. The c mmaittee had not decided anything ; they had only made suggestions. I repeat that I have great pleasure in seconding the motion, and I hope we shall, ell of us, enter upon the consideration of the questioa with good feeling towards each other, and the Govern• meet, and thus agree to give the whole subject our serious consideration. (Cheers ) The hill contains— (A Voice—" Don't go into the bill, we have not got it before us")—l will not then go into the bill ;I am not going to do so ; but this I must say, from what I can see of it, it will re quire our serious attention, and I do hope that we shall not to carried away with the corn• plimentery team er in which the measure has been brought before Parliament. With these remarks, my lord, I have great pleasure in seconding the motion. (Cheers.) The proposition was then put rind carried. Alderman Wean--I move, my Lord Mayer, that any five members of the Court be enabled to call the com mittee together ; and I hope the bill will be fully con sidered by every member of the C mrt. Mr. R. Wieetaate seconded the motion, which was carried amidst much applause. PROPOSED ABOLITION OF THE OATH OF ABJURATION. Mr. ANDERTON then moved as follows :—" That a deputation of this Court be appointed to wait upon her Majesty's Ministers, and solicit their support in obtain ing a repeal of the law requiring the oath of abjuration to be taken by persons appointed to public offices ; and that such deputation do consist of the Lord Mayor, two aldermen, and three commoners, together with the sheriffs, and lir. Remembrancer ; also, that a copy of the petition by this court to the Houses of Lords and Commons, to abolish the taking of the oath of abjuration be printed, and a copy sent by the Town Clerk to all the provincial corporations, requesting their support to the same." The motion was put and carried with acclamation. Mr. ANDEIITON then moved that the deputaticn to her Nlejesty's Mini-tern consist of the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, Alderman Wire, Mr. Deputy Dakin, Mr. De puty Pewtress, Sir Chapman Marshall, and himself. Carried unanimously, THE METROPOLITAN DATUM MARKET. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR then brought up two reports rea tive to the proceedings of the committee in respect to the New Metropolitan Cattle Market, iu Copenhagen field.. In support of the motion, Mr. Taylor said the proposition which lie then brought before the Court was from the Markets improvement Committee. relative to funds with regard to the new market at Copenhagen fields, and also for authority to raise 20,000 i. to com plete the new marker. Without asking the Citirt to hear the report read that day, or to con,ider it, he thought it would be more judicious on his part, as the organ of the committee, to ask the Court tl have it printed. After a short discussion, The motion for the printing of the report was put, and carried unanimously. Mr. IL L. TAYLOR then brought up another report "relative to the revenue account of the Metropolitan Cattle Market ; for authority to pass bills, kc., and for transferring the management of the market to the Markets Committee," which he moved should be read. He stated that he had no doubt but, when the Court heard the re port, they would be satisfied with the exertions of the committee. The report stated that the income of the new market had much increased since i s opening, and the committee considered that the time had arrived when it should be transferred to the Markets ,n tf th eCommit tee,several r k eappointedmarkets under the for the special gover,na contr. , ' of the corporation. I appeaiel that, after the payment of the expenses incurred for rates, gag, water, &c,, wages, and inciental. charges, there was a balance uf about 8,0001., to be placed under the control of the Markets Committee as the Court might determine. The report recommended the immediate transfer of the mar ket fir control to the other body, as the Markets Im provement Committee had done their duty as to its erection, and had nothing to do with the management of it.
