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 126 . 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 competition and create a similar monopoly in this metropolis —WILL YOU PERMIT IT ? " Who would be free, himself must strike the blow."

S T clothmarket day, but it simply arises fram the fact that buyers mostly su cc e eded in placing thei r or d ers l as t wee k. Manufac turers of shirtings suited to India and China 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-inch shirtings are in better demand, and almost all descrip tions of goods have partaken of the improvements, at tho full pries • sof last week. There has also been a fair business is 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 busine=s in extra hard 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 bas 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 toe last 10 days, is established. Since Thursday last nearly all kinds of goods have participated in this improvement, and a steady general business has been dune at the full rates of this day week." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report : 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, DEO. 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 in Pint to A tADT.—A fertiftil accident happened to a maiden lady, named Miss Mary Hog, living a t 2v Itighbui•H4.te, fall:160k eft day thoillitig last, between 11 sod 12. The lady had just concluded her breakfast, and the morning being bitterly cold, the was seated with her feet on the fender before a large fire holding h e r d ress an d a pr on t o it f or grea t er warmth. Fler confidential housekeeper, Miss Jones, who has lived with her for upwards of 30 years, said she really believed she :vas on fire ; but the lady strongly protested against this, and directed the breakfast things to be removed. A maideeiwant coining 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 rpm to he assistance, when they found her standing enveloped in names. The housekeeper tried to smother the flames with her stuff gown, burning herself in the endeavour, whilst the other servant of rugs, &c., and the fire was soon got tinder an d the lady quietly seated in a chair. Almost immediately, holvever, the chair Miss Hog had previously Zweupted burst into flames, but was removed to the garden by the housekeeper, o w o h n o tin fe u ll ed up , o o n the frozen ground in so doing.

I at litighburrplace. of advanced age , . 30 had l ived all her life in her house After a short conversation between the chairman and Mr. Nicholay relative to the late deputation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the business of the day was proceeded with. Mr. CARPMAEL, being called upon by the chairman, said it was not his intention to trouble the board with any lengthened observations. 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. polis, it would lie in abeyance, since her Majesty's Board of Works had no power to originate drainage measures. He would not no e; refer to bygones, inasmuch as he thought that all these had been condoned for by the last nterview 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 ontfalls. 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 detailing. them, but would simply move "That the resolution of the board of the 22d of October lakt, adopting the engineer's plan marked B in his report, dated 25th September, 1856, and directing the same to be presented to the Commis sioxer of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, be evoked." 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 (*). 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 (*). If it could be shown to him that any advantage would result from such en increased outlay he would be willing to pocket the affront of revoking the resolution for which he formerly voted. He wanted to know if those gentle. men who went up to the Chief Commissioner had made any compromise with him, as the board 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 09, 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 CI, they would adopt a plan which would satisfy no one ; bat 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. BURSLMI opposed the rescinding of this resolu tion, and having voted against a similar motion, he should be consistent and vote against this one. Mr. W r RIGHP believed that the scheme A was the best, both in a - practical and sanitary point of view, and yet he bad voted for the resolution, making that the point of outfall, being rescinded. Although he was stil 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 bad adhered to their former resolution it must inevitably have the effect of bringing the board to a dead lock. Mr. Flows 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 Heituisorr 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 eLgineer'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 1,000,000/. 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. CARPHAEL at once adopted the suggestion as being the meaning of bis own resolution, but the latter clause of the resolution had been retained by a mere accident. sug T gh h ee e st o ce r da iginal resolution was then altered in the manner . The CHAIRMAN then put the motion, when there ap peared— For the motion Mr. Against tMajority said, in rising to move 3l Ca" That the report of the engineer in respect of the ()cattails at B (*)' suggested in Captain Bursters report, and approved by Sir B. Hall, be adopted," he would admit with the hon. member for the City of Lond on that he was guilty yin some degree of inconsistency, as he was still of opinion that point A was the proper point, and the one that ought to be carried out. Still there was another body that must be consulted, and until the two bodies were agreed upon some plan nothing eauld be done, whether that plan was to make the outfall at A, B, or B ( 5 ). If, however, as a professional man, and holding the opinions he did he was asked if he would re commend 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. He foundifrom 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 ho had written to their chairman in answer to some obser vations be bad made on his schema at a former board. He found that Mr. M'Clean by his seLeme proposed to continue the engineers plan on the north side of the Thames ; but on the south side ho made no provision for the sewage at Dulwich and Kennington, .and those districts must in cases of heavy rains be comcletely flooded before he could get hi.: sewage to his puuil,,ing station at Southwark -bridge.

As to the; plan of Mr. Leslie for divi din g the rainfall from the sewage, he wou ld observe that th is board had no power les an y Power, what Lad o ver again they ha d sanctioned the districts in making sewer s which should bring down sewa g e and rainfa ll, and sackth ey been purp ()e doing; ant for if th e th last ey b3ad months that ths yet they had never heard a word of objection on the part of Mr. Leslie as to their doing so. Their engineerhad 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 3,500,060, and would allow the reception in the sewers of 18,000,00 0 cubic feet a provision which put Mr. Leslie's scheme quite out of the question. A great deal bad been said as to what the board intended to do, and its effect 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 b a greater nuisance than at p r esent. Let them, ho we e ver, examine the question for themselves, and not be frightened at the proposition, in the way that an hon. baronet had been endeavouring to frighten the people of Erith and Gravesend. There were 25 miles of river in the metropolis, a d n if 50,00 0 cubic feet of sewag e is poured into it daily, it b e comes mixed with a large quantity of water, the sewage being one in ten of the whole. Was th a t a state of things to be continued, to pour into the river one in ten . 33 from the sewers ? If they made the reservoirs in the Way proposed, for 2A hours that sewage would be discharged and carried down for miles, being mixed with a volume of water in the proportion of 400 to 1. That was the mixture that was proposed to pass ith, and he would ask whether that board was prepared at an outlay of between 1,000,0001. and 2,000,000/, to carry that so much further down the river? The works of the Romans 'had been pointed out to them ; but the question was were they to carry cut large works that were not required ? If they executed such works they would be large, but they would not be great. He had detained the board longer than he intended, but he eat down with confidence, hoping that the plan for carrying the outfall at B (C) would be carried out, and he accordingly moved that it be adopted. Mr. FEW seconded the motion. Mr. WILKINSON said he thought he should most con sult the convenience of the board by submitting the mo tion on the subject of deodorising, of which be had placed a notice un the paper, as an amendment ; one discussion would thus suffic. Referring to the report of the depu ta'ion, he confessed it was to him very unsatisfactory. The only communication made to them by the chief com missioner was such as might wail have been made by letter, without any deputation, and such as ought to hare 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 mitted to him by the board at all equivalent to the in crease of, expense of upwards of 100,0001. involved by it. If the Tbatnes were to be admitted at all as the receptacle of f itl sewage, surely it would have been more expo lient to have obtained without expense, and by the mere breath of a Minister, such an alteration of the word ing of the act as would have permitted the discharge at the point B than to mulct the ratepayers of the . metro polis in this enormous addition, simply to satisfy the stringency 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 forced 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 form in 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 modificat'on 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 attach( d, not only to the .present plan, but to any plan propor ing a discharge of undtadorised rewage into the river, but he must be per. mitted shortly to notice them, that he might contrast them with those said to attach to the plan of deodorising which ho advocated. In the evidence given before the House of Commons on the Drainage Bill it was stated that 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 almost an insu't to common 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 ? He had heard it objected that by the process of 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 accistomed 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 plan contemplating a discharge into the river the sewage was net 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 sertion, like that upon which those relied who would persuade the board that excessive dilution would purify the sewage, but by abundant and unimpeachable testi mony! He might readily multiply instances, but one well proved fact was as good as a thotvand. For nearly two years had the process been carried on in the large town of Leicester, and be 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 districtfirst, 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 had said enough, and more than enough, if not to prove the su periority 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 largo sewers ; thirdly, because he did not think it would be a final or satisfac tory settlement of the question ; and fourthly, because lie conceived that gross injustice would be committed on the inhabitants of Frith and other towns if the plan were carried out. All these exceptions except the first applied with signal force to plan W. Besides, there was no person who for a moment believe I that if plan B" were sent up to Sir B, Hall it would be adopted 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. Hows, ,Mr. WARR moved " that the debate be adjourned to Tuesday next ;" but, the motion being negatived, Mr, ITIFFANGER moved, as an amendment, " That, inasmuch as the plan B" baying an ()titian 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 crausierring the nuisance from our own locality to that of o,ar neighbours, but for the purpose of ascertaining what suiu the ratepayers of the metropolis could be called upon to pay for the extension of the e ee, er from West Ham on the north and Deptford on the south, should Government or any private body be willing, !miler the circumstances above mentioned, to carry the se Nage down to the sea or dispose of it by other means." Mr. NICROLAT seconded the amendment. After a few observations fro m Mr. Bristow, Mr. Offor, and others, Th e CHAIRMAN said the lacesrd wore directed.bynnthee act of Parliament to s end u p to the Chief d C m is oemnmt "vies Chief Commis send s to r a plan to be approved by him.

The board then adjourned. --.see We learn by the Australian papers received yester- day that Mr. R. 11. Horne, author of " Orion," is a candidate for a seat in the Legislative Chamber of Vic toria. The news of public in England Sir,—The expedition sent out by the Governments of England, France, and the United States of America, in December, 1853, to survey the proposed canal route across the Isthmus 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, and 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, aed the very hasty and incomplete eta initiation made of the country, with a tunnel of three miles in length a canal between these two points is prac ticalde. The only published accounts of the expedition "official account." in the are Commander F'revo , t's "Journal of the loyal Geographical Society" for 1855, and a pamphlet b 3 Dr. Cullen, entitled "The Mismanage/ Darien Expedition of 1854," published by Effingham Wilson. Commander Prevost's 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. Arrowsnlith, 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, Devenisb, and Band. From this map and 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 Lara. 3. From the junction of the Lara with the Savana 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 Sucubti for the next six miles, to the little Indian hamlet of Sucubti, there is no diffimlty to be 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 board, a distance of only two miles, the ground is very to v, and presents no difficulty whatsoever. 9. The whole length of the canal to be cut would bo 35 melee. Such are the facts, and it should be horns in mind that in the map and sectioniwhich .1 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 nesrly due west of Isla del Oro, or G . ilden Island. The mountain which, acoordinF 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 rees and high bruilvvood, 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. It is, however, very plainly marked on Commander Parsons's survey of Caledonia-bay and Port Escoses, 1854, lately published by the Hydrographic- Wass). 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 parallel to the shore of Caledonia Bay, instead of being, as is generally sup p iced, 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 t• Rear-Admiral Fairfax Moresby, C. 8., at Callao, dated her Majesty's ship Virago, Savanna River, Jan. 7, 1854, says— " Fording the river (the Cbnquanaqua), we began to ascend, entering, as we supposed, the Cordillera, and during our progress passed over several hills, the highest of which we e-atinated at 70(f and 800 feet 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 having narrow passe! •r valleys at their bases, along which several rivers -- ' mountain streams may find their way into the Atlan In fine, I think there are sufficient grounds to jr her Majesty's Government in sending a few verse war to Caledonia -bay and the Gulf of San Mi whence parties of ta:: ors, marines, and engineers I be landed to survey the four or five miles of gi which separate the head waters of the Aglaseniqu the Tucubti, and which are, I believe, traversed valley, I have the honour to be, Sir, Yc,ur obedient humble servant, I WILLIAM MTERMOTT, M.D., Surge R.N., late of her Majesty's Ship Espiegle, the Darien Expedition. 23, Northumberland•street, Strand, Dec. 8. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. 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, the singed sheep's head)—the Scottish beverages of whisky and whisky punch— Scottish dresses, which later 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 bag 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 Mayer presided, and was supported by the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, the Baron Darniers, Haytian Charge d'Affaires (a gentleman of colour), Sir Fenwick Williams of Kars, General Monteith, General Campbell, Judge Hallyburton, United States, Serjeant Shee, &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 tf aytian 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. Sir4F. Wil liams of Kars, Gen. Monteith, and Gen. Campion. Gen. Sir F. Wieeraets, in acknowledging threcompli • mont, said it had been his good fortune on several occa - Eions to respond to the toast which bad just been drank with such enthusiasm, but he had never ri-ien'to do so with more pleasure than now. With regaid 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 had been for a long time the custom to cut 1 down the army to the lowest possible limit—that, how ever, experience had shown to be anything but true economy. Thank God, the spirit kel ofthe country ve!ts now opposed to that c aur ae of policy, and it was not yto be repea• ed. He tha n k ed them for the honour they bad done him in coupli n g 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 c old assure them that nothing was so heart cheering—nothin g touched their sympathies so directly—no renown was so great as the approbation of their fellow -countrym en . (Hear, hear.) He was sorry that no member of the nav y wan present to return thanks on behalf o f that branch of the military profession, but having been intimately connected with the navy during ten 3 ears, having know four admirals and sailed in four fleets, he thought he might venture to perform that duty ; an d he would add h is own o p inion that if in the late war the enemy had afforded that noble branch of the service r au opportunity of meeting their fleet, no incident of our pa=t naval history would have refl ec t e d more g lory upon the country than would th e resu lt w hi c h . must have followed. General MONTEITH also returned thanks. The next toast was "The Scottish Hospital," which, the CHAIRMAN said, in proposing it ' w charity in the kingdom. During the twoas the oldest 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 w ere t h ree glorious po i n t s e mbodied in one institution, and sufficient to entitle it to the warmest sympathy no t on l y o f a ll S co t c hmen, but of the public generally. Mr. Weir. acknowledged the toast, and warmly ad vocated the claims of the charity. Judge TIALLIIIIIRTON gave the Corporation of London, coupled with the health of the Lord Mayor, and in the course of his s pe e ch declared his preference fur old institutions, au hereditary nobility, and an established church. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. Several other toasts followed, and a liberal contribu tion to th e funds of the charity marked the practical 1 effect of the conviyiality. The Medical Staff Corps having been found of great value when employed as hospital orderlies and nurseerit has been determined to increase the strength of ittl, force from its present establishment to about 1,800 pies The number of men attached to the head-quarters of tk'" corps at Chatham does not exceed 500, but as sooti=alSt the augmentation has taken place it is intended that least ten men of the medical staff shall be attached _ every cavalry and infantry regiment, both at home and abroad. Volunteering for this corps is actively proceed -k1 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 the Sab Regiment, stationed in 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 c )mmunisated ssith each other by speaking trumpets. It blew 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 gales in the Channel. Lieut. George Thomas (b), 1312, has been appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty to Greenwich Hospital in the room of Lieut. Rivers, deeeased. The Cruiser brig, coal laden, whice drove ashore near Southsea Castle during the height of the gale on Satur• day night, has become a total wreck. Her remains will be sold by auction. Her Majesty's screw sloop Plumper, 12, Commander Flag well, was paid off at Portsmouth yesterday. The steam d-spatch gunvessel Cormorant, 6, was taken out at Portsmouth yesterday to prove her engines. Her Majesty's ship Spartan, 26, Capt. Sir W. Hoste, was at Singapore on the 2411 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 First 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 marshes, for the purpose of directing some experiments which then took place, tending io prove the important 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 teats 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 explo•ion 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 from a melting crucible than from the heating furnace. The experiments 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 quantity 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 made yesterday at ,he Admiralty : CAPTAIN. G. 11. 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. Atkinson, to the Trident. THE NEW STREET THROUGH SOUTHWARK. We reported last week the proceedings of a public meeting held by the ratepayers of Southwark, for the purpose of opposing the new street through the Borougb, 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 con 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 parish 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 hou. baronet that it was not only the feeling of the parishioners that the scheme of the Board of Works was a bad one, but that there was every reason to fear that if the street were made it would be little used, while that proposed by Mr. Pennethorne would not only have the advantage in directness, but would save the parish 57,000/., and at the same time sweep away a great deal of property of the most objectionable character, and at present in the most objectionable state. Both himself and the members 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 utter waste of the public money, and they therefore advocated Mr. Pennethorne's plan on theground that it wasthe cheapest line by the sum 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 varieue impe diments which frequently arose to the trait° 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 certainly received theplan of the Board of Works at a very short notice. If be had had it six weeks 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 been received in sufficient time for the necessary Parliamentary notices, but not in time to allow any opposition to it to be entered. As the deputation were aware, he had given his adhesion to the plan of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and he had done so under the impression that it was a popular pl an , because no other plan had bee n so apnardtimcuolraerlyesraeidciylbaellfore him. If the deputation considered that Mr. Pennethorne's 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 PrOMA.N'S RIGHTS CONVENTION. The " Woman's Rights Convention," assembled resolutions : at New York, with Miss Lucy r Stone as president, followinghad adopted the following " 1. That the close of a Presidential election affords a p e culiarly appropriate occasi2ti t io o o re o n f ew De th m e o d cr e a ni tiO n p d r s in o! ciples. "2. That the Republithrough its orators t o f can party, appealing constantly female sympathies, and using for its most popular rallying cries a female name , is pectin arly pledged oy those Sr consist ency to do justice he reafter to Th at the it holds control. i , 3. Democratic party must be utterl y false ito ts name and its proff e red principles , or else must ex tend their application to both halves of the hu man race. "4. That the present uncertain and inconsistent posi tion of woman in o u r community, not fu ll y recognised eitheras a slave o r as an equal, taxed but noti rs p resented, authoriser) to earn property, but not free to control it, permitted to prepare papers for scientific bodies but not to read them, urged to form po li t i ca l opinions, but not allowed t o vo t e upon them, all marks a transient period in human history which cannot l on g endure. "5. That the main power of the Woman's Rights' movement lies in this, that, while always demanding for woman better education, better employment, and better laws, it has always kept steadily in view the one cardi nal demand for the right of suffrage, asking in a demo- cracy the symbol and the g es.-aatee of all other rights. " 6. That the monopoly of the elective franchise, and thereby all the powers of legislative government by man, solely on the ground of sex, is a usurpation, condemned alike by reason and contmon sense, subversive of all the principles of justice, oppressive and demoralising i n i ta operation, an while to the dignity of human nature, 4,7 . Thatthe constant progress of law, educa tion, and in , dustry p r oves that our efforts for women i n these respects are not wasted, we yet proclaim ourselves unsatisfied, and are only encouraged to renewed efforts until the whole be gained." -. PRICE Or GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 6 per mine premium, and the short exchange on London is 25 ' 20 pe r 11, sterling. On compar i ng t h ese rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17 s. 100. p e r oun ce for standard gold, it appears th a t go ld i s ne arly 5-10ths per cent , dearer in Paris than in London. By advioes from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13'3A per IL sten. ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is 007- fore about 2-10ths per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 daps' sight is 1094 per cent., which, when comp are d w i t h the Mint par between the two countries, sho ws th at the exchange i s slightly against England ; and, at t er ma ki ng a ll o wance for charges of transport and diff erence o f i n terest, tho present ratio leaves no profit on t h e importation of geld from the United States. / '-li - "5 , . . .. • .., ', :,.P .
