Itappealed to the imagination so powerfully ; it revealed to us matte's of investigation, which, like the telescope, made known to us . what was pas s i ng i n d i stant worlds, bringing before us not only thos e p art i cu l ar changes which were going on in the bodi es w hi ch composed our solar system, but it appeared further to reveal something of the nature of the more distant starry world. Not only did it thus, like me telescope, make known distant objects, b u t like the microscope, it revealed bodies and sub stances so minute that would defy any other mode of investigation to make known, and had to the present time defied all the sources of chemical analysis. He would put before them in as brief a manner as possible, the successive steps by which this discovery had been developed. Like all other great discoveries, it was not the work of a single individual. It was a work in which they were proud to say their own country men had borne a prominent part ; and it was espe cially fi•ting that this subject should occupy the attention of the British Association, as many mem bers of the body had laid the foundation of their knowledge on that point. last upon the list of names stood that of Newton. In 1701 his great work on optics was given to the public. The spec trum, as Newton saw it, he proposed to exhibit. The spectrum was perhaps thmost glorious sight the eye could behold, the beams of white light broken into colours defied description, and could only be appre ciated by those who saw it. Newton, and all the followers of Newton up to the commencement of the present century allowed light to pass through a cir cular aperture, and this exerted an important in fluence upon the phenomena observed. The spec trum of the sun presented certain black bands, which were observed by Workaston ; but he did not further pursue the investigation. In 1814 a dis tinguished German philosopher Fraunhofer, exa mined with a telescope the ray of light after it had thus passed through the prism, and found he ob tained a series of black lines. These lines occurred whatever was the material used in the prisms. Having exhibited the spectrum of Newton, the lec turer proceeded by a series of experiments to illus trate the various steps taken in these observations. Fraunhofer examined the light of various fixed stars and foliar' that although in the sun's light the black lines always occupied a definite position in the spectrum, the black lines in the spectrum of the rays produced by the stars were not always in the same position. This had proved an invaluable fact T o opticians in reference to retractive power. Other lights also exhibited a different system of lines. If they heated up any substance until it gave out light, as all solid bodies would if sufficiently heated, these solid bodies would produce an uninterrupted spectrum ; but if examined by artificial light there was a broken spectrum, it being crossed by bright lines. Dr. Brewster, one of the most distinguished philosophers of the day, and who, he was glad to say, was amongst them, was the first to throw any light on the cause of those lines. He observed that it the sun's rays were horizontal they had to pass through a stratum of 200 miles, or more of atmo spheric air at its greatest density; if the rays were vertical they had to pass through one stratum of continally decreasing density. It would be observed that when the sun's rays were horizontal certain portions were absorbed. Hence, it appeared to be certain that particular rays were caused or deepened by the absorptive action of the earth's atmosphere. In 1832, at one of the meetings of this body, Sir David Brewster exhibited an experiment, in which he bad found that red vapours produced by one of the opides airtrogen had a remarkable power on the sun's rays. In 1822, Herschell made a series of ob servation upon coloured light; and he found that by putting certain salts into the flame of burning bodies those flames became coloured.

Mr. Talbot they owed the suggestion by which these observations could be turned to account for chemical analysis. The colours, in some instances, were so closely allied when viewed by the naked eye that nothing could be seen to distinguish them; but the moment they were put through the prim there was a marked and striking difference. Lithia produced a beautiful red colour to the flame ; stronchia did the same ; but the difference through The prism was very apparent. Mr. Wheatstone gave the first impulse to inquiries into the spectra of electric light in 1835. He showed a mass of - various spectra produced by sparks taken from dif ferent metals. Each metal had its own peculiar spark, whether the voltaic or magnetic or common electrical machine was used as the volatising power. He further showed that it was not due to the burning of the metal, for he had experi mented in a vessel from which the air was ex hausted, and instead of air had used carbonate ,t cid gas, and found the same result to follow. Professor Miller continued his experiments by showing the effects of lead and tin, and said that the presence of other metals might be detected. Each metal had its own spectrum. Looking at the spectrum, they knew what metals they were hand ling. The same was the case with different gases, of which the most impalpable trace could be de tected. Thus they were able by the lines in the solar and stellar spectra to ascertain the presence in these bodies of particular metals and acids. Using the spectrum microscopically for analytical purposes, Professor Bunsen discovered in the residue of a certain spring, a set of lines he had never seen before, 'and which existed only to the extent of three grains to the ton. This he called caesium, from its beautiful blue colour. Rubidium had been discovered in a similar manner. Having given spe cimens of these spectra, the Professor concluded by thanking those gentlemen who had assisted him to make the experiments. Kent and Co., Paternoster-row.

Vixen, who came in second, was declared the winner. about double the supply of the Kent Water Company ; from these and other causes, the progress of the works was much retarded. These difficulties were, however, eventually overcome, and the work completed at a cost of about £15,650. The works in course of construction 'at the date of the last report, and not yet completed, are—on the north side, the Ranelagh storm overflow and the middle level sewer; and on the south side the southern outfall sewer, southern high level sewer, and the engines for the Deptford pumping station. The first of these works, viz , the Ranelagh overflow sewer, passes through Hyde-park and Kensington-gardens, between Knightsbridge and Bayswater; the length is 5,700 feet, with a fall of 12i feet per mile, and it will be constructed at depths varying from 11 to 44 feet below the surface, the sizes being Bft 6in and 9ft, barrels. The engineer's estimate for this work was £24,640, the contract was let for £23,500 ; the value pf the work executed up to the end of June was £15,500, and it is expected that the whole will be completed in the month of November next. The object of this work is principally to divert from the Serpentine the overflew sewage which discharges into that ornamental piece of water at Bayswater during periods of heavy storms, when the upland waters are greatly charged with foul and often. sive matters; the nuisance will wholly cease on the com pletion of the works. This sewer will be connected with the middle level sewer, and will form a storm overflow at the point of junction with the Ranelagh at Knightsbridge; and, as it will also afford means of drainage for property belonging to the Crown, the Government have agreed to contribute the sup of £2,000 towards the cost of the work. The middle level sewer, north of the Thames, comprises the construction of about twelve and one-fifth miles of sewers, varying in size from 4ft by 2ft Bin to 9Pt by 12tt, at depths varying from 10 feet to 60 feet, the fall ranging between 25 feet and 2 feet per mile; 33,862 feet, being more than half the work, will have to be executed by tunnelling. It will extend frem the northern high level etwer, east of Sir George Dukett's Canal at Old Ford, to the western arm of the Counter's Creek main sewer, near Kensal-green. For more than two miles the sewer will pass under houses and Other private property, and for the remainder of its length through the public streets and roads, nearly all of which are crowded thoroughfares, and some of them the most important in the metropolis. The works were originally contracted for in March, 1860, and were commenced on the 4th of April following. In conse • quence of the failure of the contractor, the board were com pelled to stop the works, after about £12,451 had been expended, and again to submit the work to public compe tition. It was accordingly relet, and the contract is now in active operation at Old Ford and Bayswater; and from the arrangements madeb3 the contractors, the board confidently anticipate that the works will now progress satisfactorily. The amount of the contract is £329,800, and the value of the work executed up to the end of June was £39,000. The southern outfall sewer comprises the construction of about seven miles 2,240 feet of sewer, llf ft. in diameter, with a fall of 2 ft. per mile, between Erith Marshes and Deptford, where it will be connected with the Deptford pumping station, and after receiving the contents of the high level sewer at Deptford Creek by gravitation, and those of the low level sewer through the Deptford pumping engines, will convey the whole of the southern drainage through Greenwich, under Woolwich, and across the Erith Marshes to Halfway Reach, at a point about twelve miles below London-bridge. The sewage will there be raised by pump ing engines into reservoirs, and discharged at the bottom of the river during the first two hours of ebb tide only, so that whilst it will there be diluted by about a hun dred times greater volume of river water than at present, it will also be carried by the ebb tide to a point twenty-four miles below London-bridge. At Woolwich, the sewer has been constructed by tunnel, for about a mile in length, at depths varying from 45 It. to 75 ft. The engineer's estimate for this work , a as £291,000 ; the contract price £300,000 ; and the amount of work executed up to the end of June was £174,000. The southern high level sewer comprises the construction of about 9 miles 2,940 ft. of sewer, and varies in size from 4 ft. 6 in. by 3 ft. to 10 ft. 6 ie. by 10 ft. 6 in., the fall varying from 53 ft. to 21 ft. per mile. It commences at High-street, Clapham, and extends to Deptford Creek. The engineer's estimate was £212,457 ; the contract price, £217,000. The value of the work executed up to the end of June is estimated at £92,000. Since the date of the last report, the Board have caused to be prepared specifications and working drawings, and have entered into contracts for the construction of the northern outfall sewer and the Deptford pumping station. The first of these works com prises about five and a quarter miles of double and treble sewer, nine feet in diameter, and extends from the River Lea, near Old Ford, to Barking Creek. The extensive cha racter of this contract will be apparent, when it is stated that the whole length of the sewers will be carried in an em bankment to be formed of concrete and earth. At the River Lea, the sewers will be formed of iron tubes, supported by iron girders, forming a bridge. The sewers will cross six other streams by means of bridges, and will pass under one ant over two lines of railway. The engineer's esti mate for the work was £635,000 ; and the contract has been taken at £625,000. The arrangements made by the contractor, for laying down a temporary railway some miles in length, for the employment of loco motive engines, and the formation of coffer-dams, Sco , lead to the expectation that this was the most extensive yet let of the main drainage works, will be carried on with speed, alai in a satisfactory manner. The amount of work done, up to the end of July last, was about £39,000. The works at the Deptford p mp , ng station embrace two contracts; one for the pumping-engines, of 500-horse power collec tively, with the necessary boilers, pumps, and other ma chinery, the engineer's estimate for which was £22,000, and the contract taken at £22,300. This work, as already stated, was in progress at the date of the last report, and is now nearly completed. The ether contract is for the engine and boiler houses for the above, including furnaces, chimney shaft, coal-sheds, &c. ; also for a wharf wall, in front of the works, next Deptford Creek, and for a few short lengths of sewers, some of which serve to connect the low level sewers with the pump-well, and to deliver the sewaze, when lifted, into the outfall sewer, and others to connect the high level sewer, from Clapham and Dulwich, directly with the outfall sewer. The engineer's estimate was £115,000, and the contract was taken at £113,136. The works hitherto carried out are of a preliminary character. The board have investigated claims arising out of the purchase of property required fur main drainage purposes, the aggregate of which was £66,287 10s. 6d. ; but by negotiation that amount has • been reduced to £46,737 25., at which sum thay have been settled, BANKRUPTS.

The new wheat is so much sups- , nor in quality to the last year's crop that a stranger would scarcely believe that it was grown in the same county. At Spa ding market, for instauce, new wheat sold, by reason of its splendid condition, at 625. per qr., while a parcel of old could only command 365. per qr. There are still com plaints, however, of a deficiency in the yield. The illumination of coal mines surely might be accom plished by the magnet. The development of its power is daily increasing, one instance is Herring's magnetic brushes, &c. Dr. Hassan remarks, " I regard them as the most per fect brushes hitherto made, as respects their mechanical construction, and their magnetical action." They are the remedy for grey hair, neuralgia, rheumatism, &c. N.B. Counterfeits are being made. Offices, 3 S, Ba.inghall-stz eet, London.

The total value of the works executed by the board during the year ending the 25th March, 1861, am , •unta to the sum of £474,M32. This includes the laying down of 18 miles 1,830 feet of brick sewers, and three miles 1,090 feet of pipe sewer, and the cleansirg and repairing of about 165 miles of main sewers, with 167 flaps, penstocks, and outlets into the River Thames. The works are more particularly described in the schedule accompanying the engineer's report ap pended. Up to the end of June, about 25 miles of main in tercepting sewers were completed at a cost of about £436,000. LOCAL DRAINAGE. In addition to the above, the board have, under the pro visions contained in the 136th section of the Metropolitan Local Management Act, had submitted to them by the various vestries amid district boards, plans for the construc tion of 25 miles, 392 feet of local sewers, all of which have been carefully examined and reported upon by the engi neer, and, after modifications where necessary to insure the proper connection and intercommunication of the sewers, have been approved by the board. The particulars of these works are given in the schedules attached. SUBTERRANEAN SU tVEY. The engineering department has also been engaged during the past year in reproducing about 90 sheets of that valuable work, " l'he Subterrane to. Survey," which, Irom constant use, had been nearly worn out. UTILISATION OF THE SEWAGE. Applications have been received from several parties since the date of the last report, in reference to the utilisation of the sewage, which the board have now under their considera tion. The subject, however, is one of considerable difficulty ; or, whilst the board are most anxious to afford every facility for the carrying out of any scheme which may appear to promise a solution of the question of the com mercial value of the sewage, and at the same time to offer the prospect of some remuneration to the ratepayers, they feel bound to guard against the possibility of nnisance or injury to health, and will therefore reserve to themselves the power of determining any arrangement with such parties. THAMES EMBANKMENT AND LOW LEVEL SEWER, I,Vith regard to the construction of the Low Level ewer it will be remembered that the board in their report pre sented to Parliament last year, referred to the necessity of a speedy solution of the important subject of the embankment of the Thames. During the session of 1860 the House of Commons appointed a committee "to consider the best means of providing for the increasing traffic of the metro polis, by the embankment of the Thames." The commit tee was presided over by Sir Joseph Paxton, and towards the close of the session the valuable and elaborate evidence taken, together with the report of the committee, was pre sented to Parliament. The conclusions arrived at by the committee have been already published in these columns. The recommendation of the committee for confiding to this board the construction of the Thames embankment, is in accordance with the views entertained by Parliament, which, by the 2d sec. of the 21 and 22 Vic. (1858), c. 104, authorises the board to construct any work through, over, and along the bed, soil, banks, and shores of the River Thames, making compensation in respect of property da maged by the works. The Government have obtained dur ing the past session an act for providing the necessary funds for the formation of the embankment. It continues the coal . duties of Bd., 4d., and Id, p er t on on co a ls, culn3, and ell 2" AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. The Hamburg-American Company's screw steamer Bavaria, Captain J. E. Meier, bringing mails of the 24th ult. from New York, arrived off Cowes between 8 and 9 o'clock this morning, and went on to Hamburg. The State Department at Washington had issued the following explanatory notice tegarding pass ports : "The regulation of this department of the 19th inst. on the subject of passports was principally intended to check the communication of disloyal persons with Europe. Con sequently passports will not be required by ordinary, travel lers on the lines of railroads from the United States which enter the British possessions. If, however, in any special case the transit of a person should be objected to by the agent of this Government on the border, the agent will cause such person to be detained until communication can be had with this department in regard to the case. " W. H. SEWARD." A despatch of the 23d ult. from Washington qays:— " There is much speculation in military circles as to the wisdom of prosecuting the war by an advance into \ ir ainia, where the greater part of the armed forces of the rebels are concentrated. It is argued that an attack upon Charleston and New Orleans would be the wisest course. It would immediately disorganize the whole rebel army, make them abandon Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri in hut haste to defend their own homes, and leave the way open for the unmolested advance of our army here and at Cairo to the borders of the original seceding States, and transfer the war from the border into the heart of the coun try where the rebellion was first begun. The project is certainly worthy of serious consideration. If effectually carried out, it may serve to crush out the rebellion and bring the South to its senses more speedily than regular advances upon the entrenched camps and fortified cities of the enemy in the border States." On the 23d ult. a reconnaissance in force of in fantry and artillery was made from Alexandria, without falling in with any of the rebel forces. It was said that the cause of the retreat of the rebels from Centreville and Fairfax originated in a colli sion which took place between two bodies of their own pickets, each mistaking the other for Union troops, and each reporting, upon falling back, that the enemy were advancing. The news from Missouri states that the Union men in the south-western part of the State were greatly harassed by the rebel forces, thousands of them being compelled to abandon their homes. About 10,000 of General M'Culloch's army were marching northward, an advanced guard having reached as far as Lebanon, on the road to Rolla. The actual loss of the Union forces at the late battle at Wilson's Creek amounted to 223 killed, 721 wounded, and 291 missing—a very heavy loss, considering that there were not more than 8,000 men at the utmost in the action on the side of the Federal Government. By way of Cincinnati we have intelligence of a skirmish on the 20th ult. between the 11th Ohio Regiment and a force of 4,000 rebels at Hawk's Nrst, a village eight miles from Gauley, in the Kanawha valley, in which 50 rebels were killed and a large number wounded and taken prisoners. Every fting remained quiet at Fortress Monroe. General Wool had a review and thorough inspection of the troops there on the 20th ult., and, it was said, personally examined the arms of every soldier in the garrison. Mejor General Butler had been de tailed by General Wool to command the Volunteer forces at the fortress—a position which he would occupy until his return to Massachusetts, in order o raise the division which ho had been authorised to recruit. A lady spy, of some literary notoriety, Miss Windle, was arrested at Alexandria on the 22d ult., and taken to Washington for safe keeping. She openly avowed her correspondence wit.'" the rebel leaders. The New York Herald of the 23d ult. says : " The Government has inaugurated a vigorous crusade against Northern jou mils whose articles favour the treason able practices of the Southern rebels. The New York Daily News was seized by the United States' Marshal in Philadel phia yesterday, and its transit to the South and West totally cut off. The same ,‘fficial also took possession of the office of the Christian Observer, which has been deprecating what it calls the present unholy war.' The authorities at the South appear to be exercising a like supervision over those Northern papers which do not represent the views.of the rebels. A committee is established at Nashville, Tennessee, which takes hold of all bundles of all Northern papers, and prohibits their going further South, unless the tone of their articles and news suits their peculiar ideas. This is done, no doubt, for the purpose of keeping the Southern people in ignorance of the true feeling of the North and the real ob jects of the war." As illustrative of the inefficiency of the blockade, a Boston pap r publishes the following items:— " The schooner Albion, from Wilmington, with a cargo of Fee and naval stores, arrived at Cardenas August 1, and reports no blockade of that port on her departure. "The scho,ner Adeline, from Savannah. with rice and naval stores, arrived at Havannah, August 3, and reports no blockading vessel off that port when she left, "The Roman ship Roman. Tree, from Calcutta, with a full cargo of gunny cloth and saltpetre, for New Orleans, arrived at Havannah, August 5, having been ordered off by a blockading vessel at the mouth of the Mississippi, and will discharge in deposit at Havannah. " The schooner Major Barbour. from New Orleans, with a full cargo of cotton, arrived at Havannah, August 8 re ports no blockading vessel in Eight on her departure. " The schooner Prince of Wales, from Newborn, with rice and naval stores, arrived at Havannah August 11, and reports no blockade." Under the heading " Secession from Secession," the New York Herald has the following : " Wn learn by recent arrivals from the South that the Governor of Georgia has recalled the troops of that State from Virginia, in order to suppress insurrection at home. This is probably au excuse—the real reason being hostility to Jefferson Davis and his Cabinet, on the ground of their interfering with State rights, and organising forces in Georgia for the war without the authority of the Governor, in derogationof the sovereignty of the State, and in opposi tion to the Constitution and the principles of the Revolu tion of 1776 The quarrel has been going on for some time, having been first developed in the case of General Bartow, who lost his life at Bull's Run, and who had taken troops and arms from the State in obedience to Jefferson Davis and in despite of Governor Brown. The quarrel culmi nated on the 2d inst., when the Governor disbanded a bri gade at Atlanta, commanded by General Phillips. Gover nor Brown seized the opportunity to assail Davis and Co, He said, The great battle of sovereignty which was fought at the Revolution had to be fought over again,' as there was an attempt now being made at the South to destroy State sovereignty ani build upon its ruins either a monarchy or a consolidated aristocracy.' That this quarrel will end in the secession of Georgia from the seceded States there appears to be little doubt ; and as, according to their own doctrines, a State has a right to secede, the Confederate Government are without any remedy. Such is the absur dity to which the principle of secession leads, and such the denouement which we long since predicted. The practical working of the doctrines of the rebels leads to the disinte gration of their own Government, and shows that they will all go to pieces. But if the evil were to be confined to the South we should not have so much reason to regret it; but if the South succeeds in establishing its Independence, and with it the principle of secession, the same evil will prevail at the North, and secession after secession will be the re sult, till at last the 34 States will be 34 independent military republics, all warring against each other. The way to pre vent this catastrophe is to render the struggle for the Union triumphant by giving it all the moral and physical aid which it needs."

Since the French occupation of Algeria ostriches nave h , NI conveyed thence to France in great num bers ; but until the instance now to be recorded, a brood had never been produced in France. It is very difficult, under the necessary restraint of a zoological garden, to supply the necessary condi tions for bringing about this result. The attempt had been frequently made to do so in the Zoologi c 11-gardei_s of Marseilles, but as frequently failed. Even last year, notwithstanding the care devoted to the ostriches in that establishment, and though eggs were laid in plenty, no young ostriches could be hatched. The director, M. Suquet, however, was not to be foiled. Failing to accomplish what he desired in the gardens, he bethought himself of trying what could be done out of them. In the territory of Montredon he selected a sandy plain, situated between the sea and the mountains which form the south east of the Gulf of Marseilles. The spot belongs to M. Pastre, who kindly gave the ne cessary co-operation. There a large secluded valley was fixed upon, sufficiently wooded to afford shelter, without intercepting the sunshine necessary for quickening the eggs. Afte r h av i ng enclosed a space 6 500 wid e , th e birds were con veyed O O year. metresto their For l a o n f long wa b t by days ai yn sg t g h r e o u b i n r d d s o n see N n 3 1 a e r d c h t 0 2 r o e f g t a h r i d s their new quarters with suspicion, and ran anxi oi,sly abQut. Soon, however, they settled them selves and began laying. Their nest was at first a simple excavation in the sand, in the form a trun cated cone. Gradually the borders of this hole were heightened by accumulations of more sand. At this labour the male and female bird worked alternately. A few hours after the completion of the nest laying began, and was continued every alternate day, until by the 20th of April 15 eggs had been deposited. Up to this time the hen guarded the nest a few hours before and after incubation, sometimes for a whole day. After April 20, however, the male bird commenced taking his spell of watching, the lady only seeing to the household during periods when her lord and master was temporarily absent from home. All seemed to go on satisfactorily. Accord ing to observations made by M. Hardy, at Algiers, the time of incubation should be from 56 to 60 days. • Knowing this, M.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY. There was a small commission executed upon Artless at 5 to 1 for the Leamington Stakes, but that price was freely offered on the field afterwards. This was the only thing we saw booked for this event.—Fo the St. Leger there was but little doing, and everything in 'the front rank seemed out of favour; 7 to 4 was offered against Kettledrum, and 10 to 1 was laid against Lady Ripon, and taken about Janus; ultimately 9to 1 was the highest offer agains Lady Ripon and Kildonan, and 10 to 1 was offered agst Janus. Brown Stout was backed to win some money at 25 to 1, and wa supported as low as 20 to 1, but at the close 20 to 1 was freely offered. 100 d to 10 was offered against any of Mr. Merry's lot.

The report of this body has been issued and is of consi- derable length. As the subjects on which it toucues are of peculiar interest to our metropolitan readers, we give the document in its eniirety, dividing it, however, into two portions, the first of which we publish to-day. MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. Amongst the more iil.portant of the works to which the board have devoted much tune and consideration are those connected with the main drainage of tir metropolis. The several works of the main drainage which were in course of execution at , the date of the last report were—on the northern side of the Thames, the northern high level sewer, the Acton branch of the western sewers, and the middle level sewer; and on the 80 , tlj Ode: of the Thames, the southern high 100* savier.. - • southern low level sewer, andl'idie' Bout • -'' • • Wer. The board have now to report the completion of three of these works, viz., the northern—high level sewer, the Acton branch of the western drainage, and the portion of the southern low level sewer. It will be remembered that the northern high ►evel sewer commences at Mansfi. , ld. road, near the foot of Hampstead-hill, and extends to a point near the River Lea, at 011 Ford. The length of sewer in connection with this work is about eight miles; the size at Mansfield road. is 4ft. in liameter, and at the outlet portion, gift. by 12ft., the fall varying from 1 in 71 to lin 1320. In conr ectit in with these e orks was the formation of the double storm avlet channel, and part of the northern initial' sewer . _ from the River Lea to the divergence of the high and middle level sewers at Hackney, and the double overflow chamber for relieving the high and middle level sewers when overcharged. The completion of these works has accom plished two objects—it has afforded the means of diverting the waters descending from the high grounds of Hampstead and Highgate, from the Fleet and other sewers, and which, discharging through the low lying districts into the Thames, have caused so much nuisance and damage to property by frequent floodings, and, whilst efecting a general improve. meat in the local drainage throughout its entire length, it has also enabled the board to fill up the op'en Hackney brook, for so many years a cause of much complaint from the inhabitants of the localities through which it passed, and a con. inual expense in keeping up the campshedding and clearing the water course. The contract for these works also included the formation of the retaining wall along the western hank of the River Lea. In the execution of the wot k in connexion with this wall and the outlet portion of the high level sewer, many local difficulties had to be over. come ; the substratum, composed of peat saturated with wat-?r, was entirely removed, and a solid concrete foundation formed, and the works being in close contiguity to the river Lea, and below the bed of chat river, cofferdams were con structed, and powerful steam .engines erected, to enable the contractor to execute successfully these important works. In order to carry on the work it became necessary to divert temporarily the New River, near Ilighbury Vale. This was effected by means of iron pipes. At Old Ford, the sewer was carried under the North London Railway, and at the Holloway road, under the Great Northern .ilway embankment ; and in both cases, from the careful measures adopted, no stoppa of the traffic took place, although it may be said to be almost continuous and ex ceedingly heavy. Another portion of the work calling for special mention is that part executed under the high lands lying between Tufnell-park and the Highgate-road, extend ing for a length of about half a mile. This portion is of an average depth of 40 feet below the surface, and was tun nelled. The engineer's estimate for the works was £179,086 ; the contract was taken at 152,430. The second work for main drainage completed since the date of the last report. is the Acton branch of the western sewers. This sewer is about 7,350 feet in length, and the sizes, 4ft. by 2ft. Bin., and Bft. 9in. by 2ft. 6in., the average depth being about 15 feet from the surface of the ground, and the fall 4 feet per mile. It extends from Notting-dale, westward, along the Uxbridge road to Acton-bottom, passing through the low and fiat grounds of that locality. It was designed principally with the view of intercepting the sewage from the eastern branch of the main Stamford-brook sewer, and from the area north , ward to its point of outfall in the main C o unter's -creek sewer. The varying character of the soils, the largequan tides of water and quicksands , entailed a very c onsiderable amount of extra appliances and speczal prec aution. Through out the whole period of the execution of the works,for amountof steamp o wer was cons t an tly in requisition, the . great volumes of water Pwhicheseefdischargingwithas the e e works progressed. In addition to difficulties of this character, which interfered with and m aterially affected the prosecution of the works, continuedraisingtaonilem et bad weather in 1860 often set in, and at some periods, the waters from the higher lands came into the trenches and the completed portions of the works in such large quantities as to create considerable delay in their progress. The engi neer's estimate for the works was £8,500, the contract was £8,850; and the work was executed for £9,820 lls. 91d. The work of main drainage remaining to be mentioned as completed during the past year is that portion of the low level sewer, south of the Thames, passing through the Surrey Gas Consumers' premises at Deptford. • This work comprised the construction of about 132 feet of double sewer, 7 feet internal diameter. It was commenced in consequence of the company being about to erect a gas bolder, of large dimensions, over the line of sewers, the foundations for which would have been close upon the crown of the arch. Extraordi nary difficulties were encoun tered in executing the work, from an enormous quantity of water which was unexpectedly met with. A fault occurs in the chalk at this point, and there is a depth of about 100 ft. of sand and gravel restin g upon t h e c h a lk . P ump i ng en gines had to be erected of sufficient power to throw off a volume of water equal to 8,000 gallons per minute, being • r
