The Commissioners of Inland Revenue Hereby Give Notice, That every person taking, killing, or pursuing game, without first obtain ing a certificate, incurs a penalty of 201., aad is also liable to be sur charged in double the amount of the certificate duty. Any person in pursuit of game refusing, on being duly required, to produce his certificate, or to permit the same to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also incurs a penalty of 20/. Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of 11. 7s. 61. will not authorise any person to kill game beyond the limits of the manor for which he is deputed ; and, in order that a certificate at such a rate of duty may protect a gamekeeper, it is requisite, not only that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of a manor or reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the Clerk of the Peace, or the gamekeeper will be liable to be surcharged in double the duty of 41. Os. 10d , and also to be prosecuted by any common informer for the penalty of 201. N.B.—lt is the intention of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to publish in a separate list the names and residences of all persons surcharged in double duty for sporting without certificates. ENGLISHMEN! Will you have " Fair Play," and give your aid to put down an uncrupulous monopoly; determined, if possible, "fas aut nefas," to crush a company that will give the Public what they require, viz, :—" Better Omnibus accommodation and a wholesome Competition?" If each Omnibus rider would take, say only two or three shares, they' would have the management of the Omnibuses under their own control, and not be the subjects of that Despotic Power which says, " When we have all the Omni buses in our own hands, we will carry out what we have pro mised."—Macnamara and Co. at the Mansion-house. Which, translated, means, " We will reduce the number of Omni buses and increase the fares." If the Parisian Omnibus Companies pay their Shareholders 124 per cent. and 20,0001. a-year to the Government for the monopoly they enjoy, it will answer the purpose of the L. G. 0. C. to expend any amount of money and use every means to crush competitida and create a similar monopoly in this metropolis —WILL YOU PERMIT IT ?

If they made the reservoirs in the way proposed, for 21 ht.urs 'that sewage would be discharged and carried down for : miles, _being mixed with a volume of water in the" pr ,portion of 400 to I. That was the mixture thit was proposed to pass Erith, and be would- f lak wbetker that board was prepared, at an outlay of between, 1,000,000/. and '2,000,000/. to carry that HO much further down the river? Thk , works of the • Romani Iliad been pointed oqt to them :.but the question was were they to carry out large works that w'ere'noerequired ? If they executed iiich works they woulddm large, but Alley would not be great. Ifs hail detained the, board longer than he intended, but he eat down with dontllenee, hoping that the plan for catrying the untiall at B'(''') would be carried out, and he accordingly moved that it be adopted. Mr. FEW seconded the motion.. Mr. WILKINsoN said he thoughtlie choutd most con. stilt the convenience of the board by submitting the mo tion on the subject of deodorising, of which he had placed a notice on the paper, as awarnenciment ; one discussion would thus suffice. Referring to the report of the depu tation, he confessed it was to him very unsatisfactory. The only communication made to them by the chief corn rnisaiooer was such as might well have been made by letter, without any deputation, and such as ought to have been made nearly six months ago, and thus `spared the board the tedious and unprofitable discussions upon the outfall with which they and the public were alike wearied. He failed to perceive any advantage in the point adopted by the chief commissioner over that sub 'pitted to him by the board at all equivalent to the in. crease tif expense of upwards of 100,0001. involved by it. It the Team oa were to be admitted at ail as the receptacle of f ul sewage, surely it would have been snore expe lient to have obtained without expense, and by the mere breath of a Miniiter, such an alteration .of the word ing of the act asenould have permitted the discharge at the point I 3 than to mulct the ratepayers of the metro polis in this enormous addition, simply to s itisfy the striegency of the technical language of a section of the act; for the board would remember that it had been abundantly proved that point B was as efficient for all practical purposes of purifying the metropolis as. the point now ferced upon them. After express ing his strong dissatisfaction at the manner in which the late deputation to the chief commissioner on the subject of plan B conducted the interview, Mr. Wilkinson proceeded to urge the board once more to pause before it stamped with its final approbation a plan which not a single member believed would be carried out in the ft:lmin which it was sent up to the Government. Let them not incur the discredit of sending up an imperfect and impracticable plan, after all this weary and unprofitable discussion—a plan which would be scouted by the public, and for the modification of which, to meet the real wants of the metropolis, the Government, and not the board, would obtain the credit. He would not weary the board by d welling at any length upon the very grave objections which attached, not only to the present plan, but to any plan proposing adischarge of und , • Icrised sewage into the river, but Le inust be per mitted shortly to notice them, that he might contrast thrm with those said to attach to the plan of deodorising which he advocated. In the evidence given before the Hogue of Commons on the Drainage Bill it was stated chat the daily sewage of London would cover the area of Hyde-park eight feet deep if spread over it ; or, if in the form of a stream, would be in depth and bulk equal to the Thames at Kingston. Was it not almcst an insu!t to c +rumen sense to argue that such a mass of filth as this could be daily and continuously discharged into the Thames without the most intolerable nuisance and injury to health ? lle had heard' it objected that by the process uf deodorising the sewage the residue was rendered valueless as manure. He did not admit this even now entirely, and he entertained the most sanguine c mfidence that chemistry would ere long substitute some mode of precipitation for that by means of acid at present adopted which would completely preserve to the purified sewage all the available qualities of manure ; but, conceding for the present argument that the residues were worthless, but harmless, was it nothing that by this means the ob ject of getting rid of the sewage might be accomplished without injuring one locality for the benefit of all, and without depriving the river of its accastomed contribu tions of water ? Was not the superior economy of attend. ing this system equivalent to a large value ? Without fatiguing the board with statistical details, he was pre. pared to prove a saving of upwards of a million in the outlay, as contrasted with the proposed outfall at Long Reach ; but, indeed, their own engineer had relieved him from the necessity of labouring this point, he having himself, in his report, asserted that there would be a sav ing of nearly half a million by its adoption for the West ern area alone. Surely, then, a complete answer was furnished to this objection, and it must not be forgotten that by any plat: contemplating a discharge into the river the sewage was not only utterly wasted, but rendered noxious. Another objection was, that the process of deo dorising could not be carried out without some nuisance and that its products were not entirely inoffensive ; but how entirely this was answered, not by hypothetical as ,wereicm, like,,tbat %mai %vb.*, those relied who would penile:le — the board that excessive dilution would purify the sewage, but by abundant and unimpeachable testi mony! Ho might readily multiply instances, but one well proved fact was as good as a thousand. For nearly two years had the process been carried on in the large town of Leicester, and he had himself received personally the evidence of gentlemen of the first standing and respecta bility resident there, and entirely without interest in the sewage works, that not only had the process been carried on without nuisance, and the products, tons of which he saw heaped about on the premises, were inoffensive, but that the sanitary condition of the town had been strikingly improved and the river restored to its original purity. Indeed, their own engineer, Mr. Haywood, an able en gineer of the City of London, Mr. Carpmael himself, and he believed all the leading engineers in the kingdom, ac cepted this as an established fact. Butit would, perhaps, be said his proposal involved endless delay and a re opening of the whole discussion. His answer was that it did not. Their engineer in his report expressly told them that the system of metropolitan intercepting sewage which the board had approved could 'readily be adapted to the plan of deodorisation.' He had noticed the supe riority of the deodorising plan in point of economy and of freedom from engineering difficulties, and the oppor tunity it presented of getting rid entirely of the sewage without inflicting injury upon the locality for the benefit of all. In addition to this it obviated the necessity for withdrawing so large a proportion of the supply of water from the Thames, and permitted the discharge of puri• fied water at points where such discharge would be of the greatest value by maintaining the bulk of the stream, and aiding in the removal of mud banks. It admitted a Partial and comparatively inexpensive trial. Let it be applied, as proposed by the engineer, to one district first, and even if it failed the cost would not be useless ; it would be so much in furtherance of the present plan. But if this plan or any other plan for a discharge into the sea were adopted and failed, the whole expense would be wasted. In 1853 a Select Committee of the House of Commons, presided over by Lord Seymour, himself a Chief Commissioner of Public Works, had reported in favour of the plan he now advocated. Ali engineering authority was in its favour. Surely, then, he bad said enough, and more than enough, if not to prove the sti eerriorily of the deodorising system over any other, at least to induce the board to institute a searching and competent inquiry before they undertook to reject it. He pressed it upon them most earnestly from a convic tion that they were not performing their duty if they neglected this, and from a most sanguine belief that such an inquiry would result in a complete and effective plan for the drainage of the metropolis, which would reflect credit upon the board and satisfy the nation. Mr. CRELLON seconded the motion. Mr. DOULTON said he objected to plan B—first, be cause it did not comply with the act ; secondly, because it involved the construction of large sewers ; thirdly, because he did not think it would be a final or satisfac tory settlement of the question ; and fourthly, because he conceived that gross injustice would be committed on the inhabitants of Erith and other towns if the plan were carried out. All these exceptions except the first applied with signal force to plan B*. Besides, there was no person who for a moment believe I that if plan 13 5 were sent up to Sir B. Hall it would be adiipted in its in tegrity. They would be affording that right hon. gen tleman materials for taking the matter out of the hands of the board altogether. Mr. WRIGHT argued very strongly against the system of deodorisation advocated by Mr. Wilkinson, and en tered into a chemical dissertation with a view to show that the process did not destroy the noxious qualities of the sewage, but only absorbed it for a time. Mr. IRwINE supported the amendment, and said the experiments at Leicester had been perfectly successful. After a few words from Mr. Howe, Mr. WARE moved " that the debate be adjourned to Tuesday next;" but, the motion being negatived, Mr. D'IFFANGER moved, as an amendment, " That, inasmuch as the plan B* having an outfall near Rain ham Creek, the nearest point to the metropolis at which, under the Local Management Act, the sewage of London can be discharged into the Thames, the plan B* be for warded to the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, not with a view to its being carried out, as that would merely be transferring the nuisance from our own locality to that of our neighbours, but for the purpose of ascertaining what sum the ratepayers of the metropolis could he called upon to pay for the extension of the sewer from West Ham on the north and Deptford on the south, should Government or any private body be willing, under the circumstances above mentioned, to carry the sewage down to the sea or dispose of it by other means." Mr. NICHOLAY seconded the amendment. After a few observations from M r . Bristow,Mr. Ofror, and others, The CHAIRMAN said the board were directed by the act of Parliament to send up to the Chief Commissioner a plan to be approved by him. The amendm . ent was . to send up a plan not, to be approved by the Chief C . ommie sioner. Therefore he though t it was a question that could not be put. The debate was then adjourned till Tuesday next. The board then adjourned. We learn by the Australian papers received yester• day that Mr. R. H. Horne, author of " Orion," is a candidate for a seat in the Legislative Chamber of Vic toria. The news of Mr. Horne's elcctiou would gratify a large class of the public in England. _ fe PUBLICATIONS.

STATE OF TRADE. 111ANCHESTER, DEC 9. Vhere is not so much activity in the cloth market this day, but it simply arises fram the fact that buyers mostly succeeded in placing their orders last week. Manufac turers of shirting s sui ted to India and Chin a are under contract for extensive deliveries during this and succeed ing weeks, and a further advance of 1-1-d. per piece is established, making a rise of 3d. per piece within the last 10 days. Heavy domestics, T-cloths, and 36-ineh s hirtir.gs are in better demand, and almost all descrip. tions of goods have partaken of the improvements, at the full prices of last week. There has also been a fair business in yarns, with very full prices, and if there is any change in them it is that they are a shade dearer. The chief business has been in 16's to 30's water twist and 49's mule for India and China. For 50's and 60's India mule there has also been rather more inquiry. Buyers for the Mediterranean are doing rather more business in extra bard twist and water, Nos 4's to 14's and 16's to 24's. The season for the Germans is closing, but they are buying to some extent. The result of the activity during the last 10 days has been to place spin ners extensively under contract, and stocks are light. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : "The improved demand for India and China goods noted in our last continues, and a further advance of 11d. per piece on shirtings, making fully' 3d. in the last 10 days, is established. Since Thursday last nearly all kinds of goods have participated in this improvement, and a steady general busineFs has been done at the full rates of this day week." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report :- 1• There has been a steady and firm market, but the amount of business has been limited by the increased prices asked by spinners and manufacturers. Our quo tations are as before." LEEDS, DEC. _9, At the halls this morning there was a fair attendance of buyers, and an average business was transacted, the demand being chiefly for cloths of medium quality. The Huddersfield market is reported as showing a de cided improvement, both in the cloth-hall and in the warehouses, and low-priced fancies and low goods are in good demand. There is also inquiry for clouds and better-class goods. In wool the trade is brisk. FATAL ACCIDENT BY FIRE TO A LADT.—A fearful accident happened to a maiden lady, named Miss Mary Hug, livtfig at 27, Highbury-place, Islington, on Th just concluded morni ng l ast , b etween 1 1 an d 12 . Th e l a d y h a d concluded her breakfast, and the morning being bitterly cold, she was seated with her feet on the fender before a large fire, holding her dress and apron to it fox greater warmth. Her confidential housekeeper, Miss Jones, who has lived with her for upwards of .30 years, said she really believed she was on fire ; but the lady strongly protested against this, and directed the breakfast things to be removed. A maidservant coming down stairs and meeting the housekeeper avowed her strong suspicion, from the strange smell, that Miss Hog was on fire. In a moment or two the lady screamed, and both domestics ran to her assistance, when they found her standing enveloped in flames. The housekeeper tried to smother filenames with her stuff gown, burning herself in the endeavour, whilst the other servant got rugs, &c., and the fire was soon got under and the l a d y qu i etly seate d previously occupied b urst i nto flames, in a chair. Almostimmediately, h owever, the chair M bu i t ss w il a o s m g r h e ad oved to the garden by the housekeeper, who fell upon the frozen ground in so doing. The lady continued for hours highly excited, and was with diffi culty prevailed upon to go to bed. Medi ca l a id was at however, the lady fell into a once obtained, and some relatives were so on i n attend asonuene'd s T le o e w p, ar b d u s t ni t g h h e tfali'ever, domestics continued to watch by her, and at 9 the following morning (Friday) she died. She was not much burnt, chiefly about the hands and arms, owing to the timely aid of the servants. She was of advanced age, and had lived all her life in her house at iiighbury-place. METROPOLITAN BOAIW OF WORKS. A special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the council chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. J, Thwaites in the chair. The meeting was called for the purpose of further con sidering the report with plan by engineer, upon the points of discharge for the drainage of the metropolis, suggested in Captain Bursters letter, and approved by the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &c. After a short conversation between the chairman and Mr. Nichol:ly relative to the late deputation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the business of the day was proceeded with. Mr. CARPMAEL, being called upen by the chairman, said it was not his intention to trouble the board with any lengthened ohkervations. He reminded the board that the plan agreed to by them on the 22d of October had been sent back to them, and unless they took some action upon the question of the sewerage of the metro pHs, it would lie in abeyance, since her Majesty's Board of Works had no power to originate drainage measures. He would not no tv refer to bygones, inasmuch► as he thought that all these had been condoned for by the last interview with the First Commissioner of Works. There were two courses open to the board ; first, to adhere to their determination of having the outfall at B ; and, secondly, to revoke the resolution in favour of plan B, and throw open the question of outfalls. He thought that the reasons which should induce the board to adopt this latter course were so evident, that he should not waste the time of the board by tetailing them, but would simply move "That the resOlution of the board of the 22d of October last; adopting the engineer's plan marked Bin his report, dated 25th September, 1856, and directing the same to be presented to the Commis siocer of•her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, be revoked." Mr. SAVAGE seconded the motion, and said if such a motion were not adopted the works entrusted to the board would come to a dead lock. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR inquired whether, if this resolu- tion were carried, the entire question of outfall would be thrown open ? (Yes.) If so, then he could readily conceive why a certain section of the board should be willing to adopt the proposition. But Mr. Carpmael proposed to follow up his motion by another in favour of plan B (1. That being the case what possible advan tage would accrue from going one mile nearer to Erith. In his opinion there would be no possible equivalent for expending 103,0001., necessary for carrying the sewage from point Bto B ( 5 ). If it could be shown to him that any advantage would result from such an increased outlay he would be willing to pocket the affront of revoking the resolution for which be formerly voted. Ho wanted to know if those gentle men who went up to the Chief Commissioner had made any compromise with him, as the letze.rd was not represented ? Many of the representatives of the largest parishes were not there, and notwith standing that there was a complete bandying of compli ments, and all went merry as a marriage-bell, there must be no compromise upon this matter. He considered that if they took the outfall to the point at B (*), it would be more objectionable than stopping at point B. If they were required to go below that, the Government ought to pay the expense. Mr. WILKINSON said if they sent up a plan for the outfall at B ( 5 ), they would adopt a plan which would satisfy no one ; but they must look at the position in which they were placed, and if the plan was objection able, they must throw the responsibility upon her Ma jesty's Commissioner. Still as they could not proceed without his sanction, although he agreed in all that had been stated by Mr. Taylor, he should support Mr. Carpmael's motion. Mr. BURSLEII opposed the rescinding of this resolu tion, and having voted against a similar motion, he should bo consistent and vote against this one. Mr. WRIGHT believed that the scheme A was the best, both in a practical and sanitary point of view, and yet he had voted for the resolution, making that the point of outfall, being rescinded. Although he was etil of opinion that the outfall would be better at A than B or B still he could not forget that there was another that could control their acts, and if they had adhered to their former resolution it must inevitably have the effect of bringing the board to a dead lock.- Mr. Rows supported the resolution, and said if they took the course recommended by Mr. Taylor, it would, as stated by Mr. Wright, inevitably bring the board to a dead lock, and involve them in difficulties from which they would never be able to extricate themselves. Mr. Deputy HARRISON asked to have read the resolu tion formerly agreed to, and which was now proposed to be rescinded. Mr. WOOLRYCH read the resolution, which was to the following effect :—" That the engineer's plan marked B in his report, dated 25th Sept., 1856, be now adopted and presented to the Commissioner of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, and that it be intimated to them that this Board have also under their consideration other plans for discharging the sewage into the river below Gravesend ; but that it appearing that such extension would add between 1,000,0001. and 2,000,0001. to the outlay, and that this sum would be spent, not to the benefit of the inhabitants of the metro polis, but to meet the wishes of the people of Kent and Essex, who reside on the banks of the river, this board has declined to entertain any such scheme. Neverthe less, if it should be the opinion of her Majesty's Govern ment that such an extension is desirable, this board will readily undertake the work, the Government providing such additional outlay out of the national revenue." Mr. Deputy HARRISON said it was quite clear that the board had no desire to rescind the latter part of this resolution. Mr. SEELEY said there was no difficulty about the matter, for the deputation had laid the latter part of the resolution before Sir B. Hall, and that they could not now rescind it. They had merely to rescind the propo sition for forming the outfall at point B. Mr. TURNER suggested that the motion should be altered, so as to rescind as much of the original resolu tion that committed the board to plan B. Mr. CARPMAEL at once adopted the suggestion as being the meaning of his own resolution, but the latter clause of the resolution had been retained by a mere accident. The original resolution was then altered in the manner suggested. The CHAIRMAN then 'put the motion, when there ap peared— For the motion.. Against it _ . 33 Mr. CABPMA M EL ajo sa ri id ty , in rising to move " — Th 3 a the report of the engineer in respect of the outfalls at B (*), suggested in Captain Burstal's report, and approved by Sir B. Hall, be adopted," he would admit with the hon. member for the City of London that he was guilty in some degree of inconsistency, as he was still of opinion that point A was the proper point, and the one that ought to lie carried out. Still there was another body that must be consulted, and until .the two bodies were agreed upon some plan nothing eould be done, whether that plan was to make the outlet] at A, B, or B (*). If, however, as a professional man, and holding the opinions he did he was asked if he would re • cgrainend the board to go to B (*), he would at once express his willingness to do so rather than at once throw this subject in abeyance for some indefinite period. lie found,from the public prints that certain questions would arise on different schemes, and therefore he should have to deal with them at some length. He then referred to Mr. M'Clean's plan, and said he had read the letter he had written to their chairman in answer to some obser vations he had made on his scheme at a former board. He found that Mr. M'Clean by his scheme proposed to continue the engineer's plan on i t e h n e nin n g o t r o t o h , s a id n o d o t f h t o h s e e. Thames ; but on the south side he made no provision I d o i r str t i h c e ts se m w u a s g t e i in cases pnlw i o n f h and heavy rains be completely flooded before he could get his sewage to his pumping station at Southwark - bridge. (flear, hear.) He then proposed to carry it by means of iron pipes over Southwark -bridge, but he had not stated what the Southwark -bridge Company would charge for such a purpose. However, to get it over Southwark Bridge he must pump up the sewage 60 feet—a much greater elevation than was proposed pla b n y w th o e u i l r d own m oerne gexinpeeenrsaivteabnyy P4ol,onofOtil.,e lininge.oing His rom Wanstead, eight miles from London, than the cost of the plan of their engineer for taking i t to B (*). As to the plan of Mr. Leslie for dividing the rainfall from the sewage, he would 'observe that this board had no power for any such purpose ; but if they had that power, what had they been doing for the last 13 months ? Why, over and over again they had sanctioned the districts in making sewers which should bring down sewage and rainfall, and yet they had never heard a word of objection on the part of Mr. Leslie as to their doing so. Their engineer had told them that the pumping power in the sewers must be equal to a quantity of sewage delivered from the metro polis when it was increased in population to 3,500,000, and would allow the reception in the sewers of 18,000,000 cubic feet— a provision which put Mr. Leslie's scheme quite out of the question. A great deal had been said as to what the board intended to do, and its eflect on Erith and Gravesend. He was one of those ready to state that the board had no right to pour into the river what would be a greater n u isance than at present. Let them, however, examine the question for themselves, and not be frightened at the proposition, in the way tbat an hon. baronet had been en deavouri to frighten the people of Erith and Gravesend. There were 25 miles of river in the metropolis, and if 50,000 cubic feet of sewage is poured into it daily, it becomes mixed with a large quantity of water, the sewage being one in ten of the whole. Was that a state of things to be continued, to pour into the river one in ten THE DARIEN CANAL. To THE EDITOR OF THE SEN. Sir,--The expedition sent cut by the Governments of England, France, and the United States of America, in December, 11853 , to survey the proposed canal route across the Igthmus of Darien from Caledonia Bay on the Atlantic coast to the Gulf of San Miguel on that of the Pacific, is generAlly supposed to have proved a complete failure, anti- indeed the circumstance that none of the en gineers engaged in it has made any report would seem to justify that supposition. It can, however, be easily shown that, notwithstanding the deplorable mismanagement of the expedition, and the very hasty and incomplete exa mination-made of the country, with a tunnel of three miles in length a canal between these two points is prac ticable. The only published accounts of the expedition are Commander Prevost's " official account." in the "Journal of the Royal Geographical Society" for 1855, and a pamphlet b) Dr. Cullen, entitled "The Mismanaged Darien Expedition of 1854," published by Effingham Wilson. , Commander Prevost'e report has no bearing on the question of the practicability of the canal, as the course he took from the Pacific side was three points of the compass westward of the proper route. Appended to it, however, there is a section of the isthmus, and a very accurate map, compiled, I believe, by Captain Fitzroy and Mr. Arrowsesith, in which the longitude of each coast is corrected in accordance with the surveys of Commander Parsons and Captain Kellett. The rivers Sucubti and Chuquanaqua are in it laid down from an accurate Spanish survey, found in the archives of Bogota. The levels are those taken by Mr. Gisborne and his assistants, Messrs. Bennett, Armstrong, Devenish, and Bond. From this map aed section the following facts appear to be established :- 1. The harbours on both coasts are admirably adapted for termini of a grand ship 'Canal. 2. The Savana river is quite free from obstructions, and is navigable to the mouth of the tiara. 3. From the junction of the Lara with the Sevens to the Chuquanaqua, opposite the mouth of the Sucubti, a distance of 12 miles, the country is of such a character as to present no engineering difficulties, nor for that distance would any deep cutting be required in the con struction of a canal. 4. The next stage, from the Chuquanaqua,to the con fluence of the rivers Asnati and Sucubti, a distance of 9 miles, the country is of the same character. 5. From the confluence of the Asnati and Sucnbti for the next six miles, to the little Indian hantlet of Sucubti, there is no difficulty to bo surmounted. 6. For the next three miles the land gradually rises from 180 feet to an elevation of 420 feet. 7. In the next three miles, in the direction of the At lantic, the ground rises into a peak 930 feet high, so that here a tunnel would be required. 8. From the foot of this peak to the Atlantic sea hoard, a distance of only two miles, the ground is very low, and presents no difficulty whatsoever. 9. The whole length of the canal to be cut would . be 35 miles. Such are the facts, and it should be bores in mind that in the map and section - f,which I have mentioned above the existence of a valley across the Cordillera is not taken into account, and I regret to say no search was made for it. I myself have repeatedly and dis tinctly seen it from Caledonian bay, and taken the bearing of its entrance, which was nearly due west of Isla del Oro, or Golden Island. The mountain which, acoording to Mr. Gisborne, would require tunnelling is south-east of it. This mountain, Dr. Cullen says, is called Agla by the Indians. The country being overgrown by a dense forest of tall tees and high brui-hwood, and Mr. Gisborne having made only a very hurried examination of it, the valley remained unseen by him, and its existence was there-, fore ignored. 'lt is. however, very plainly marked on Commander Parsons's survey of Caledonia-bay and Port Escoses, 1854, lately published by the Hydrographic office. Again, Dr. Ross, who accompanied Commander Pre vost, in a conversation which I had with him a few weeks ago distinctly informed me that he descended into an other valley transverse to the Cordillera, several miles to the N.W. of that opposite Golden Island. This would show that the mountain running pat allel to the shore of Caledonia Bay, instead of being, as is generally sup p.sed, part of an unbroken range, is really isolated. Mr. Gisborne himself, in a letter to Commander Han cock, dated her Majesty's ship Espiegle, Caledonia Bay, April 4, 1854, says :—" I am quite aware that in now concluding my surveying operations there is a great deal of interesting information still wanting, and that the examination of the isthmus is not so perfect as I had hoped to make it." Commander Prevost, in a despatch to Rear-Admiral Fairfax Moresby, C. 8., at Callao, dated her Majesty's ship Virago, Savanna River, Jan. 7. 185 4 , says— " Fording the river (the Chuquanaqua), we began to ascend, entering, as we supposed, the Cordillera, and during our progress passed over several hills, the highest of Which. we estimated at 700 andrgaSoo 44 in height. From this and other summits we were able to see. though indistinctly, over the surrounding country, which showed the ranges of hills to be broken, assuming a sugar loaf form, apparently baying narrow passes or valleys at their ba'es, along which several rivers and mountain streams may find their way into the Atlantic." In fine, I think there are sufficient grounds to justify her Majesty's Government in sending a few vessels of war to Caledonia-bay and the Gult of San Miguel, whence parties of sailors, marines, and engineers might be landed to survey the four or five miles of ground which separate the head waters of the Aglaseniqua and the Tucubti, and which are, I believe, traversed by a I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient bumble servant, WILLIAM M`DERNIOTT, M.D., Surgeon R.N., late of her Majesty's Ship Espiegle, on the Darien Expedition. 23, Northumberland-street, Strand, Dec. 8. SCOTTISH BOSPITAL. The annual dinner of the Scottish Hospital took place last night (St. Andrew's-day falling this year on a Sun day) at the London Tavern, when that eminently Eng lish establishment was Scotticised especially for the occasion. There were Scottish banners, and other em blems of nationality, tastefully arranged by Mr Douglas —Scottish] dishes (including the far-famed haggis, the savoury cockie-leekie, and King James's favourite dish, ti e singed sheep's hearl)—the Scottish beverages of whisky and whisky punch Scottish dresses, -which la ter were furnished by the guests themselves, who ap peared in every recognised variety and colour of High land costume—the Scottish national music of the b.sg pipe, performed by her Majesty's own piper—and Scotch songs sang by a most efficient vocal corps (under the direction of Mr. Genge.) _ _ . The Lord Mayor preided, and was supported by the Sheriffs Of London and Middlesex, the Baron Damiers, Haytian Charge d'Affaires (a gentleman of colour), Sir Fenwick Williams of Kars, General Monteith, General Campbell, Judge Hallyburton, United States, Serjeant Sbee, &c. The customary tribute having been paid to her Ma jesty, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales (under his Scottish title of Duke of Rothsay), the Duke of Cam bridge, and the rest of the royal family, The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of the Haytian minister, at whose presence he expressed a feeling of high gratification, and coupled with the toast the foreign diplomatic body at the English court generally. The Baron DAMIERS, in an eloquent and appropriate address, spoken in the French language returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR next gave "The Army and Navy," uniting with the toast the healths of Gen. Sir F. Wil liams of Bare, Gen. Monteith, and Gen. Campbell. Gen. Sir F. WILLIAMS, in acknowledging the compli - ment, said it had been his good fel-tune on several occa - gone to respond to the toast which had just been drank with such enthusiasm, but he had never risen to do so with more pleasure than now. With regard to the army he was glad to say that it stood now on a far better footing than it did at any former time since the great war. It bad been for a long tine the custom to cut down the army to the lowest possible limit—that, how ever, experience Thad shown. to be anything but true economy. Thank God, the spirit ofthe country was now opposed to that ()Arse of policy, and it was not likely to be repealed. He thanked them for the honour they h a d done him in coupling his name with that gallant British army that fought and conquered in the Crimea. Though he had no part in the military operations there, he could assure them that nothing was so heart cheering--n ot hi n g touched their sympathiesssooertrdyuirrnethctatlthya—nnoknsomreoe mnnobwebrnehowanflfs th o s7a great as the app robation of their fellow-countrynaen e; t(nhsaavetyabr,rawhnnecashr.)opfretlihseeenmtwialtiso return profession, but having been intimately connected with the navy during having know fou r admir a l s and sailed in fourten years, flee t h oug ht he might venture to perform thts, he that duty ; and he would add his own opinion that if in the late war the enemy had afforded that noble branch of the service fleet, an opportunity of meeting their no incident of our past naval history would have reflected more glory upon the country th m ust have followed. an would the result which General MONTEITII also returned thanks. The next toast w as "T he Scottish Hospital, " w hi c h, the CHAIRMAN said, i n proposing it, was the oldest charity in the ki ng d om. During the two centuries of its existence it had done great good in providing for the sick and aged of the sister kingdom who were reduced to destitution in this country, and in educating their children. These were three glorious points embodied in one institution, and sufficient to entitle it to the warmest sympathy not only of all Scotchmen, but of the public generally. Mr. WEIR acknowledged the toast, and warmly ad vocated the claims of the charity. Judge HALLIBURTON gave the Corporation of London, coupled with the health of the Lord Mayor, and in the courso of his speech declared his preference for old institution, au hereditary nobility, and an established church. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. Several other toasts followed, and a liberal contribu tion to the funds of the charity :narked the practical effect of the conviviality. ~/ Fan& and Military intallagence.

Volunteering for this corps is actively proceed ing, and the number of troops who have volunteered from ;the several depots at the Provisional Battalion, Chatham, is close upon 100. On Monday night a large number of troops from ther 55th Regiment, stationed hi the Isle of Wight, arrived at the Provisional Battalion, Chatham, under the command of Lieut. A. S. Young, 55th Regiment, the whole having volunteered for the depots of the 32d, 35th (Royal Sussex) 45th, and 70th Regiments stationed atChatham. Sir Robert Peel, M.P., the Junior Lord of the Admi ralty, visited Portsmouth yesterday, and embarked in the steam-yacht Fire Queen, Mr. W. F. Paul, Master, R.N., commanding, to board the Shannon, 51, commanded by his gallant brother, lying at Spithead ; but, although the Fire Queen neared the frigate, the roughness of the sea and the extreme violence of the gale rendered Sir R. Peel's attempt to board impracticable, so the brothers communicated with each other by speaking trumpets. It bleir very hard all day from the S.S.W., and the men of war at the anchorage struck lower yards and topmasts —the merchant vessels which put in to anchorage at the Motherbank for shelter, reported very heavy seas and strong ga'es in the Channel. Lieut. George Thomas (b), 1812, has been appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty to Greenwich Hospital in the room of Lieut. Rivers, deceased. The Cruiser brig, coal laden, whice drove ashore near Southsea Castle during the height of the gale on Satter day night, has become a total wreck. Her remains will be sold by auction. Her Majesty's screw sloop Plumper, 12, Commander Haswell, was paid off at Portsmouth yesterday. The steam despatch gunvessel Cormorant, 6, was taken out at Portsmouth yesterday to prove her engines. Her Majesty's ship Spartan, 26, Capt. Sir W. Hoete, was at Singapore on the 24th October, all well. All the squadron was at Hongkong. Mr. Julian W. Bradshaw is promoted to be Acting Surgeon of the Spartan. Mr. R. H. Pearson has been appointed Wet Assistant Engineer of her Majesty's ship Pembroke at Portsmouth. The body of officers composing the select committee of Woolwich Arsenal assembled yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, at the practising range in the Arsenal marches, for the purpose of directing some experiments which then took place, tending to prove the impertent advantage to be obtained by the substitution of liquid iron in the uses to which red-hot shot has been hitherto applied. Lord Panmure, who expressed his intention of being present arrived punctually at 11, and took parti cular interest in the prosecution of the various tests which were carried out. The experiments consisted in firing a number of Martin's shells, filled with about 301 b. of molten iron, at a bulkhead, near which were erected some wooden sheds. These latter were occasionally the butt, and were speedily ignited by the contact occasion ing the sudden explosion of the shell and the expansion of the liquid fire. The result was proved to be consi derably more certain and effectual than that produced by hot shot, and the supply furnished with much more readiness and facility fr..nn a melting crucible than from the heating furnace. Tee experhneuts were ordered to be repeated. Master-Commander Allen, of the Admiralty yacht Vivid, having returned to Woolwich from Portsmouth, whither he conveyed her Majesty's ship Roebuck, re sumed the command of the Vivid yesterday morning, in consequence of a telegraphic message ordering the Vivid on immediate and especial service. The freight ship Migrator arrived off Woolwich Arsenal yesterday, and commenced shipping a elantity of ammunition for Colombo. The Marechal Pelissier arrived at Woolwich at the same time, and is taking in ammunition for Adelaide. The following appointments were taade yesterday at the Admiralty : CAPTAIN. G. H. Richards to the Plumper. LIEUTENANT. W. Moriarty, to the Plumper. MIDSHIPMEN. A. B. Wodehouse, to the Eurydice ; E. W. R. Everard, to the James Watt. MASTER'S ASSISTANT. H. M.

We reported last week the proceedings of a public meeting held by the ratepayera of Southwark, for the purpose of opposing the new street through the Borough, for the construction of which the usual Parliamentary notice has been given by the Board of Works. Yesterday the deputation agreed upon at the meeting waited upon Sir B. Hall, to enforce their views in favour of Mr. Pennethorne's plan. The deputati,n, which °on sisted of many of the most influential inhabitants of the Borough, was received by the right hon. baronet with his usual courtesy. Mr. Purvis, one of the churchwardens of the pars of Christchurch, opened the proceedings, by stating that he attended as the representative of the crowded- district through which the proposed street was to pass. He ex plained to the right hon. baronet that it was not only the feeling of the pariahimers that the scheme of the Board of Works was a bad one, but that there was every fears that ao w wvn hael away le t ah teighf haverapett pariah rt e p ti timebl reason wi u t o t :i le w l dsowuutsenioeedodpt, td . iyn P ao e tfd tt tt n rhhe e aec t ht same advantage in shrdheo deal streetpasol of d w f e e opb re r. o, made it would be objectionable character, and at present in the most objectionable state. Bath himself and the ruPultlers of the deputation were convinced that, under all the cir cumstances of the case, the formation of the street pro posed by the Board of Works would be uttt r waste of the public money, and they therefore advocated Mr. Pennethorne's plan on the ground thatit wasthe cheapest line by the BUM already stated ; that it was the only straight line and the shortest, and that if Mr. Penne thorne's plan were carried out it would remove property which at the present moment;so far from being valuable was a burden on the ratepayers, and a hotbed of disease, pauperism, and crime. By removing the Town-hall and one or two houses a noble entrance would be made into High-street, and the objections to Mr. Pennethorne's plan would be removed, in addition to which the confu sion which would arise from carrying a new street in the immediate vicinity of the bustle of the Borough-market would be obviated. Messrs. A. Kibblethwaite, W. Day, Parr, Reece, and Bowditch pointed out to Sir Benjamin the various impe diments which frequently arose to the traffic through Stamford-street in consequence of the number of teams which daily issued from the streets leading to the water side. Even the widening of Stamford-street, which could only be effected at an enormous expense, would not remove the impediments referred to. Sir B. HALL said, he had cert ainl y received the plan of the Board of Works at a very short notice. If be had Lad it six week: or two months earlier, the public would then have been put in possession of all the facts. .The plan for the proposed new street had b e en received in su ffi cient time for the n ecessary Parl iamentary notices, but not in time to allow any opposition to it to be entered. As the d epu t a t ion were aware, he had given his adhesion to the plan of the Metropolitan Board. of Works, an d h e h a d done so under the impression that it was a popular plan, and more especially bec a use no other plan had been so particularly laid!before , him. If the deput a ti on cons i der ed that Mr. Pennethorne a plan was more desirable, they could oppose the bill promoted by the Board of Works when it came before a Parliamentary committee. The deputation then thanked Sir B. Hall for the atten tion he had paid to them, and retired. THE WOMAN'S RIGHTS CONVENTION. The " Woman's Rights Convention," assembled at New York, with Mi ss L ucy Stone as president, had adopted the following resolutions : 1. That the close of a Presidential election affords a peculiarly appropriate occasion to renew the demands of woman for a consistent application of Demooratio prin. ciples. pledged by 2. That the Republican party, appealing constantly through its orators to female sympathies, and using for a those nly States it::female name, is peculi. consistency to do justice hereafter to popul ar where t tall l it l y i ng holds cries a control . " 3. That the Democratic party must be utterly false to its name and its proffered principles , o r else must ex tend thei r app li ca ti on to both halves of the human race. "4. That the present nocertain and inconsistent posi. tinn of woman in our community, not fully recognised either as a slave or as an equal, taxed but notirepresented, authorised to earn property, but not free to control it, permitted to prepare papers for scientific bodies but not to read them, urged to form political opinions, but not allowed to vote upon them, all marks a transient period in human history which cannot long endure. "5. That the main power of the Woman's Rights' movement lies in this, that, better while always demanding for woman better education , employment,better laws, it has always kept steadily in view the one cardi nal demand for the right of cuffrage, asking in a demo. cracy the symbol and the gua: antes of all other rights. " 6. That the monopoly of the elective franchise, and thereby all the powers of legislative government by m an . solely on the ground of sex, is a usurpation, condemned alike by reason and common sense, subversive of all the principles of justice, oppressive and demoralising operation, and insulting to the dignity of human nature. "7.awa. That, while the constant progress of law, d tion, and industry proves that our efforts f -or women in these respects are not wasted, we yet proclaim ourselves unsatisfied, and are only encouraged to renewed efforts until the whole be gained."
