The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—The letters which have appeared in your columns, and those with which 1 have been favoured privately in consequence of the insertion of my letter to you of the 28th ult., convince me that a serious amount to miscon ception prevalent, even among educated classes, upon the subject thus brought before the public. Without, therefore, assuming to teach an abstract science in a few lines, I feel it incumbent upon me Os the person who, by your permi. , sion, raised the discu.ion) to call atten tion to some of the most serious errors which have thus been shown to prevail. In the first place your correspondent " Post the Coal" and some of the gentlemen who have written to me pri vately have been misled into the belief in the existence of coal deposits rear London by the occurrence of beds of lignite in the Bagehot sand formation. The history of the Worpleedoi Colliery Company was a sad com mentary upon the eagerness with which these tales of coal near London are received, and upon the inevitable disappointment they must bring to those who are foolish enough to believe that any workable deposits of fossil fuel are to be found in the strata above the new red sandstone. In the second place I would observe that the lignite beds of the Bogshot sand district may perhaps occur of a sufficient thickness to render it worth while to work them for local purposes, just as the Bevey coal is worked in North Devon .; but neither their quantity nor their quality will be found to be such as to repay operations upon a large scale, or for tie delivery ct the material so raised at a distance. "The circumstance which induces me to believe that there is a pessibility of finding coal near London is pre cisely the occurrence of beds which I have reason to suppose are members of the new re I sandstone series nearer to the surface than they were formerly considered to be. Unlike "Post the Coal," however, Ido not de sire to make any absolute assertion on this subject sim ply from an inspection of the 'plants en the surface or the character of the soil and waters. There are far more things in geology than are, I fear, dreamt of in his phi• losophy ; and whsn the most able men of the co untry have been unable to decide upon the me 's° character of the Highgate beds, after the boring had been continued in it for a step' la of above 180 fent, it would be very pre sumptuous were I to speak positively from the re-ults of a boring in the red clays only 8 feet deep. It is, however, the simultaneous discovery of the beds of red clay, so strikingly like the analogous clays of the new red sand stone series, which gives such importance to their occur- 1 rence at Highgate and at Horsham, and I de not think that I am exaggerating when I say there are few geo logical problems which it would be more necessary to solve than that connected with the precise nature of these beds of red clay. A sum of 3001. would, I think, suffice to set that question at rest. If it should be found that these beds were indeed such as I suspect them to be, it would then be worth while to bore for coal, and the results of similar operations in the department of the Pas de Calais have been certainly of a nature to ern courage such operations ; but it must be evident to every one who has studied even the rudiments of geology that no coal can be found until the whole thickness of the supposed new red sandstone beds shall have been tra versed, and even then the operation of boring may fail to discover the objects of the "researches" for which it was undertaken. Of the borings recorded by Messrs. Degoussee and Laurent, ee refines. as haven; been execute d c f l ate years in the 'Valenciennes coal basin, 67 in number, i no less than 17, or ab out 1 in 4, gave re es e t i It seems to me that the landownersguidance of thebench n o c f h the of r Horsham, under the scri e .er the purpose would do fir t experiment, as theyaie directly of trying the - the problem. he suni I eisely if they were to ,ub ihnatveerensateuellidnwthoeulds,olluttihoinnko, uthcdf o rt „ f purpose, u-ef ) and h e at any rate the boring even if else came water supply of the district, might be made. nothing t to estimate th e cos t of further researches coal. of th e matter. A t rese nt it would be folly to attempt irob p for artesian boring now in course of execution at sassy, which expec:ed to be at least 1, 800 fe et deep, will cost 14,0001. ; and I am sure that it the ewartsnc while risking redfaudstotie beds re a ll y occur here it would be even that sum in the ettempt to pass through them. At any rate, the public may depend upon it that " no coal" will b e f oun d " near London " un l ess it be in some position in which the ordinary laws of sequence of s t ra t a h are been modified ; and th at nothin g but small deposit s of lignite the geological are to be found in any of the more recent strata.

The pages of the itioniteur were yesterday de voted almost entirely to the publication of the ora. tions delivered on the previous day at the opening of the courts of law. Ordinarily these addresses have little more than a professional and legal inte rest; the present occasion, however ; has been turned to political account in a very remarkable manner. The jtidges in a body proceeded to the Ste. Cha pelle and attended mass, which was performed by the Abb6 Surat, Archdeacon of Ste. Genevieve, and after the service repaired to their respective c< urts. In the Court of Cassation, the First Presi dent Troplong presiding, M. de Royer, the Procu re ur General,.delivered the opening speech, the sub ject of which was the judicial and legislative reforms of LomsXIV. In the Imperial Court M. Vaisse, the Procnreur-General, delivered nal address, which the French papers state " was freeently inter rupted by the plaudits of the assembly." M. Vaise commenced thus :-- Among the duties imposed on the magistracy there is none more essential to its institution, and more necessary to the well-being of the state, than that which binds it and obliges it towards the sovereign. The regard for the good of the public, which everybody pretends to, is but a vain word, er a lie, if it begin by . excluding tespect for him who is the most exalted and most legitimate representative of the public weal. • After maintaining that this is a truly French sentiment, and thoroughly reconcileable with judi cial independence, and then condemning those magistrates who, in past times, have nourished a spirit of faction under pretence of zeal for reform, M. Vaisse told the judges : The danger exists not only in isolated and particular offences, in that uniform succession of transgressions which •ach year brings with it ; another danger for the social state is found in the dissolving action of party spirit, and in the want of conviction and intelligence as to the worth of our political institutions. In Franca we too easily give way to the spirit of criticism, and to the words of those who speak only to blacken and blame both persons and in stitutions. Let me dare, without departing from that mode. ration which becomes this assembly, to proclaim a few wholesome truths. Let ins vindicate to our government the nationality and grandeur which are its own. The authority of your presence will supply what is wanting to my words, and will perhaps make what is a mere custo mary discourse an act useful to the public cause. We shall not bo diverted from our design by that false maxim which more than once has fallen ou our ears, "The judges shall not meddle with politics.." Here the Proeureur-General makes a subtle dis tinction between the politics which are forbidden to the judge and those with with which he may pro perly concern himself. He then proceeds : Without reverting to the utopias of the 18th century, we may affirm that in morality and justice the consent of a free people is tho legitimate and reasonable foundation of government. The will of God has laid upon us in this matter only the law of obedience to powers regularly esta blished. As to the Divine choice, there has been manifested in this century—we ourselves have seen it--two memorable examples of it, two great occasions in which a man has risen up to lay hold on abandoned power, and show himself a true chief and leader of a nation, guiding the bewildered generations into the promised land of obedience and duty. The providential exigency, the consent of the people, services rendered—such are the legitimate conse cration of all new power. It appears, however, ths.t it is neither in the destiny of man nor the will of Providence that the same bloo.l, transmitted from race to race, shall give the same nation sovereigns for the duration of its existence. Men may persist obstinately in asserting that a royal race should lose its original in the night of time if it would retain its prestige; but their words will not change the laws of Providence, nor avert the rise of dynasties which establish themselves by great services recently per formed. To say of a dynasty that it is new, is only to say that it is and should be so much the more dear to the nation, as it is nearer to the timet in which pnhliegratitisd3 consecrates it. Its title is not in its antiquity, but in its work accomplished. What work is greater in its results, more marvellous and more worthy of a crown, than the work of Napoleon ? What founder of a new dynasty like this man, who held, like Caesar, the sword and the pen ; who com manded like Alexander, who governed like the Auto nines? What glory, what prestige, surrounds this name, so often repeated in the homes of the people and the palaces of kings? By what sign are we to recognise a consecration by Providence, if we deny it to this legisla tor, this captain, this statesman, who has given to France laws which all nations envy, and a glory which will re main immortal, end who only sinned against humanity by the excess of his genius ? Yes, lee was the founder of a dynasty; and it were al most a blasphemy against the laws of Providence not to desire for this founder that ho might have descendants, and enjoy, like all the great men' who have preceded him, the supreme glory of transmitting the empire to the heirs of his name. Let us disengage ourselves for an instant from contemporary prejudices, and ask ourselves what had been the sentiment of posterity, astonished with the gran deur of this reign, if Providence, belying itself, had no t accorded successors to this new Charlemagne. Ala ! let us not leave to posterity to be only just. Let us accept with gratitude the descent of a great man, whom glory and mis fortuno have doubly consecrated. We are yet too near that great epoch to enable the historian who recounts it, though finding his excuse in the severity even of his con temporaries, to reckon up the wounds which the war has inflated on its, and indicate, with jealous care, the rare weaknesses of genius. The modern taste inclines more to memoirs than epopees. But if Providence ever accord to Napoleon what Alexander passionately desired—a poet to recount, or rather to celebrate, the prodigies of his reign, never will poem more marvellous and complete have struck the minds, and charmed , the imagination of man. One must place oneself at this distant and grand point of view, in order justly and truly to appreciate the Napoleonic epopee, and the prestige which mast one day environ the commencement of that dynasty. . Bat a great trial is imposed on the new dynasty. Its illustrious founder dies in exile. He leaves the field free for the two experiments of 1814 and 1830, and at the end of these trials the Franco of 1818, exhausted for thirty years in the inanity of her internal contentious, has no longer strength against anarchy. She is about to perish, unless she find a saviour. To what quarter turn the popular regards and hopes? What name, what ser vices, are found uppermost in the great candidatureship submitted to the ballot of December, 1818? Politicians who regulate iu your cabinets the destinies of empires, it is not you who shall indicate the preserver of France. The instinct of the people turns to one who, nevertheless to tha hour, had but the recommendation of his name. But the prince who would show himself worthy of so high a des• tiny must not be merely elected. His actioas should jus• tify his title. Recall now in your memory those mournful days where in France, as if fascinated by a date, viz., that of the exs piratio n o f th e powers of the President, waited the crisis of 1852, as the patient resignedly expects the mortal stroke which terminates his existence. What was to be done? The nation, through its councils-general, demanded, as a transition t o a more assuring and stable order of things, the prolongation of the President's authority. If the poll • tic men wh o h a d rendered such great services in reconsti tuting the party of order, and resolutely placing themselves at its head, had united without hesitating in support of the vote of the councils-general the solution would have been found. But the cry of France was responded to only by irresolution and division. This was the moment marked by socialism for letting loose its armed bands on all parts of the country. Our intestine divisions and anticipatory fear delive r ed us, without defence, to an enemy so much t he more formid a bl e i n that he had already made essay of his strength, and h a d vowed that his prey should no longer es cape him. It w as th en that —fatally decided and morally convinced—the executive chief believed it his duty to have recourse to one of those great measures of national safety, the j udgment of which must be left to posterity. Posterity, I am firmly persuaded, will clas s it i n h er judgtnent with the coup d'ctat of 18 Brumaire. The suffrages of the nation have already forestalled the verdict of history. Nothing but the most obstinate persanal prejudice can harden itself against the irresistible authority of eight millions of suf frages. Let us acknowledg e that at no epoch was there made a delegation of power more complete, unanimous, necesse,ry, imconstrained, and, consequently, more legiti mate. It remained, nevertheless, to France to consolidate by a moro stable form of government the conquest she had made over herself. That is what she desired, what also she accomplished with an enthusiasm and concourse of suffrages still more considerable, in the ballot of 1852, re lative to the declaration of the Empire. The orator next recounted the great things which the first Napoleon had done for the j u di c i al body : Looking round o no, and observing thes e crowded ranks, this sovereign t oga , this bar so dignified—in a w or d, a ll the apparatus of justice, I cannot but recal that it is the genius of Napol eon w hich has raised us up f ront the dust of district court s , w h o h as g iven us titles, in s i gn i a, and au thority, and wh o , a ft er organisiug us, has beo, uea th ed the laws which we have to apply. Let the idea of Montesquieu indicate to us the part w e have to fill in the constitution of tie empire. Lot us range ourselves aroundthe throne, that by our means it may re ceive strength, lustre, and that influence which it has the right to expect from great judicial bodies. We should fail of onr constitutional mission were w e to choose to shut our selves always and obstinately within our office as judges. For groat judicial companionships there are a goverhmen tal attitude, an exalted sentiment d political loyalty, a con stant and well- um-lerstood desire to work together for the general good, things which are not matters of choice and taste, but duties. Such a spirit animated the ancient French magistracy; let it be ours if we would remain faitkful to the traditions of our order, and the essential conditions of our institutions. M. Vaiss e th en procee d s to g i ve h i s v i ew o f th e actual stateof politic.- In France, and dwells with elaborate severity on that spirit of opposition which manifests itself in what the orator stigmatises as "a little wretched warfare carried on by means of false reports, malignant insinuationollusions, and epigrams"—a warfare of words, not deeds, having nothing real or deep about it, and involving nothing serious, except it be the result of "creating a false public opinion—a public opinion calculated to deceive alike government and people, leadinggovernment to believe+ that it ought no longer to place reliance on the people, and the people that it can no longer look for protection from government. M. Vaisse then passes by an easy gradation, from this mere vulgar war of epigrams and euvY, to the hostility of those abler and more dangerous foes " who," as M. Vaisse assures his hearers, " would unhesitat ingly side with the government if the government could consent to accept their services." This sec tion of his Imperial Majesty's opposition—(" au temps de la Fronde," says M. Vaisse, "on les ap pellait le parti des Importans ")—comprises many persons of considerable ability, who under various governments have formerly been employed in pub lic affairs. The orator proceeds as follows : It would be too much to expect from the weakness of human nature that they should approve of what has been done, and is doing, after them and without them. They feel a degree of impatience which, in their place, we should, no doubt, feel equally, at seeing power and ad ministration in the hands of those whom they naturally regard as exceedingly incompetent, and they lose no op portunity, public or private, direct or indirect, of mag nifying themselves by comparison, and consoling them selves by criticism. They affect, moreover, to take under their especial protection the cause of liberty. Doubtless, it is a high game to play; but we must first understand clearly what the word Liberty means. When the aristo cracy of old [tome had lost its hold on the assemblies of the people, it took every opportunity of proclaiming that liberty was uo more; and for a long time it succeeded by the aid of its orators and historians in imposing this belief on the world. Modern times, however, have taught us to comprehend ancient times, and we now know what the word liberty meant as employed by the friends of Pompey. Let it be conceded to governments founded on the basis of as aristocracy, whether patrician or mercantile, that they aro well adapted to produce, and more especially to pro mote and encircle with notoriety —men of distinguished parts; that these men are habituated in the noise that is made about them to find the principal evidence of the free political life of a nation; that there is thus formed in and around the press, the tribune and the higher regions of power of species of political life, which is no doubt suffi ciently active, and admirably well adapted to conceal from view the real hollowness and factitiousness which underlies the animation and bustle of parliamenttry existence. This is what we have seen during the last reign, and we will not say that, like so many others, we may not ourselves have been so far seduced and carried away as to mistake this imposing spectacle for a real manifestation of political life. Bat when these ;rest actors abruptly quitted the scene,and a secondary class of agents, feeling the weight of responsibi= lity which rested on them, sought everywhere for support, and nowhere found any—neither in the government, nor in the army, nor in the constituencies, then it was that all re cognised that the base of that system was too narrow and confined, that the nation had never entered heartily into it, that she spent her force in seeking to manifest to herself her own existence, until organiad. and disciplined, she ac quired the right of suffrage to make her will known, and a single chief to carry that will irate execution. A people and an Emperor—that is what the nation wanted—that in two words, the political constitution of France. It is very sublime this constitution, says M. Vaisse, but we must not shut our eyes to what aro alleged to be its dangers. Anong these dangers— which M. Vaisse only alludes to with the greatest caution —are, it seems, to bereckoned that want of facile mechanism, elastic morement, and easy self adaptation which characteriseparliamentary govern ments ; it requires implicit confidence between go vernor and governed —a community of sentiment being the indispensable condition of the unity of power. But, says M. Vaisse, if this system has its dangers, it has a stability also which no other form of government has ever equalled. AS an organisation of social powers, comprehending not a fraction alone of the country and a given category of citi zens, but the whole country in its entirety and all Glasses of the ci,,izens without distinction—it possesses a power and a reality which oven regarded theoretically loaves no ground for regretting the fictions of the Parliamentary system. M. Vaisse then proceeds to exemplify the bene ficial results of this system in the material and moral progress which he represents France as hay ing made since 1852. He exhorts the members of the bar to show themselves the ministers of order and peace. If their liberal t endencies incline them to the cause of popular freedom, they ought, he re minds them, to remember that liberty, like all the other gifts of God, " ought to be proportioned to our strength and the necessities of the time." H e quotes from the famous address on the opening of the Session of 1852 the memorable words that " on the day after a revolution the first guarantee for a people consists, not in the immoderate exercise o f the press and the tribune, but in the right of choosing such government as it pleases." ' That right (continues the orator) you have exercised in its plenitude. You live under a Government founded "on the people, the source of all power; the army, the source of all strength ; and religion, the source of all j us tice." With institutions established on such bases, liberty cannot be wanting. The pledge of this is to bo found in those words, which France, as stored in her memory, and which I have no hesitation in repating on this solemn oc casion. "To those who regret," said an august voice, that a greater measure of freedom has not been conceded, I would reply, Liberty has never taken part in founding a durable political edifice. She comes to crown the work when time has consolidated it." (Address of the Em peror at the opening of the session, 1853.) Let these noble expressions, said M. Vaisse, in conclusion, " form the appropriate termination of my discourse. Let us all labour, laying aside party differences, at the great work of public peace ; this will be the means of raising ourselves towards that liberty which is the sure crowning grace of the completed edifice."—Daily News. SPANISH RAILWAYS. From returns lately made in Spain to the Govern ment concerning the railways conceded and at work in that open in 1856, it appears that the w h o l e o f th e lines public, including that f rom M a d r id t o country re the Saragossa conceded to the Spanish Credit Mobilier, gave a length of 1,955 kilometres (1,222 miles). In the concession granted to that company of the two sections of the rail road from Madrid to . Valladolid, and from Burgos to the frontier of France, the first section will leave Madrid, pass by Avila, Arevola, and Medina del Campo, and will stop at Valladolid, w hore it will join the section already traced passin g by Mi ran d a d i e l'Ebre, Tolosa, out f;om Valladolid to Burgos. The thi r d sect i on w ill (tiitthe v station jtto o r f ia, the A l i a s s a t su tr nd Andoain, and San , and, Sebastian, will terminate at the French frontiers. The works from Madrid to A.vila aro to be terminated and opened to &rculation within a deki.y of five years; those from Avila to Valladolid, to Burgos, and from Burgos to Vittoria, in four years; those from th e l a tt er town to the frontiers in seven years , dating from the 15th October, 1e56. The works are to commence in three months. The Spanish Credit Mobilier is thus master over the whole Northern line, the extent of which is not less than 621 kilometres. If we add the 110 kilometres of the line from ' Alar to Santander, it results that tho said company has undertaken to construct in the north of Spain 731 kilo metres (451 from (I 5 miles) of mil. The lines from B arce l ona t o llßarcelona to Granollers, from Jativa to Va.' lence to the port of Grao, are at work th roug h ou t th e i r whole extent. On the hue from Xeres . to th e T roca d ero , the provisional brul - ,;es of the section from Puerto Santa Maria to the Troeatiero, are terminated, and h ave b een subjected to the usual trials. All that flow remains is the official reception. The commission which had proceeded from. Madrid to the frontier, to fix the point or junction of the Spanish line with that of France, has returned, after having attained the object, of its journey. The two lines are to be joined tq; , :.thei a little beyond Torten', two miles distance from liestalrien. Na,val and Kilicary Intelligence. The visit which his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge intends making to Chatham is now understood to be fur the purpqs, , e of brigading the whole of the troops belongirg to the different branches of the service stationed at Chatham garrison with the view of testing their effi ciency and their ability to act together. The review of the troops will take place on the Great Lines, and preps. rations are being made by the troops in anticipation of the visit of the Commander-in-Chief. During the alernoon of yesterday and the previous day the duty men belonging to the several depots, comprising the previllonal batta- lions under tlae command of Col. H. Jervis, were marched on to the Lines, where they were joined by the corps of Royal and the East India Company's Engineers, under the counnand of Col. H. Saudham and Col. H. Savage, and the troops belonging to the Royal Marine Light Infantry, under the commana of Col. J. A. Philips, the whole forming a brigade of about 3,000 men under the command of Col. W. H. Eden, commandant of the garrison. After each battalion had taken up its proper position, with the regiments of the line in the centre, various movements were executed with considerable cele rity and precision, and the manoeuvres that will be per formed on the occasion of the visit of the Duke of Cam bridge were rehearsed by the whole of the troops. The visit of his Royal Highness was fixed for to-day, but a telegraphic deppatch was received last night at Chatham announcing that unforeseen circumstances compelled him to postpone it. Lieut.-Col. E. W. C. Wright, Deputy-Assistan' Quartermaster-. General at Portsmouth, succeeds Lieut. Col. Dalgetty in the appointment of Assistant-Quarter master-General of the South-Western District. An inspection of the troops belonging to both cavalry and infantry regiments stationed at St. Mary's barracks, Chatham, to the number of nearly 1,700 men of all ranks, took place yesterday, for the purpose of selecting those noncommissioned officers and men who are to re ceive their discharge, agreeably to instructions received from the Horse Guards. The number selected is 150, belonging to nearly every regiment in the service. The 50th Regiment, in Kilkenny, which received a letter of readiness on Friday, got the route by Saturday's post directing them to leave yesterday for Belfast. The screw steam-ship Alma, Capt. Potts, put in at Portsmouth yesterday, owing to strong easterly Rinds and defective machinery, from Constantinople and Malta for London, having on board 150 non-commissioned offi cers and men of the Polish Legion. She has had a very long and tedious passage. Two of the transports (Culloden and Sultana) taken up by the Government for the conveyance of the British German Legion to the Cape of Good Hope, will be ready at Portsmouth dockyard to-day at noon, and the embarkations will take place to-morrow. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamsloop Vesuvius, Commander Hore, from the Mediterranean, arrived at Woolwich on Tuesday night, and was yesterday morning despatched on a trial trip lo Greenhithe. The Vesuvius having completed her term of commission is ordered to return stores, and will be paid off at Woolwich. The freightship Norman Morrison is ordered down to Woolwich to receive Ordnance stores, and to embark Major Tupper's company of the 13th battalion Royal Artillery for Bermuda. The Maid of the Isles has been chartered by Govern• ment, and is to commence shipping ammunition today from the Ordnance department, Woolwich, for Algoa-bay. No. 34 wooden mortar float, having been stripped of her mortar bed and fittings, was yesterday morning towed down to Woolwich to be appropriated for the con- veyance of steam machinery. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : E. M. Tupper, Midshipman, to the Impregnable ; A. T. Collier, Midshipman, to the James Watt; C. A.

WIVES FOR THE GERMAN LEGION.—HAMBURG, Nov. 2.—One hundred and five soldiers of the British Ger man Legion arrived here on Friday by the Caledonia steamer from London. Some of them arc discharged from the service and are going to their home', but the 1 raster part of them are come over for matrimo nial purposes, and have obtained lease of absence. Some speculative individuals have established regular recruiting offices here for females willing to accom pany the German Legion to the Cape of Good Hope and settle there. One of them has already engaged more than fifty young women, chiefly amongst the milliners, dressmakers, shop girls, and even tho , :e connected with the theatres: When one considers that in this city3we have 6,000 more lerea'es than men the last year's census gives 86,000 women and only 80,000 men—it is not to be wondered at that there should be many amongst them who find i difficult to make an honest livelihood, and are there. fore diposed to try their fortune in a distant colony. Al. though this recruiting for females is carried on pretty opeuiy, and has even been advertised in the local papers, no opposition bas been offered to it by the police. SIR B. HALL AND THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Yesterday afternoon, in accordance with previous ar rangement, a deputation from the Metropolitan Board of Works, consisting of Mr. J. Thwaites, president; Mr. Bazalgette, engineer-in -chief ; Mr. E. H. Woolrych, se cretary ; and Mr. Marrable, architect to the board, waited on the R ght Hon. Sir B. Hall, at the office of Pubic Works, Whitehall-place, for the purpose of sub. muting for his approval the amended scheme adopted by the Metropolitan Board fOr the main intercepting sew age, and plans for other metropolitan improvements. Mr. THWAITES said that in conformity with the provi sions of the Metropolis Local Management Act,' they had attended to submit for the approval of the Govern ment, through its Chief Commissioner of Public Work', the amended plan adopted by the Metropolitan Board of Works for the main intercepting sewage of the metropolis marked "B." This plan proposed for its outfall "Halfway-reach" and a point of the river Thames below Erith. Another pl.tn had been before them for extending the outfall to "Sea-reach," but, inasmuch as the carrying of tae London sewage to such a distance through the counties of Kent and Essex would involve an additional outlay of 2,000,000/ , the Metropolitan Board did not feel tself justified in throwing that addi ti' ntl amount of taxation upon the metropolis ; but if the Government approved the later plan, and would provide for the extra expense, then the Board of Works would cheerfully carry that plan out. Sir B. HALL wished the deputation to understand that any plan which they might submit to him, and which he conceived was calculated to firing the sewage within the , metropolitan district, he had the power to reject. He knew_ nothing of the plan now proposed, except what he had read in the newspapers, and there fore he should require Mr. Dazalgette to enter into an explanation of the whole scheme from beginning to end, beginning from one side of the Thames and then taking the other. Mr. BAZALGETTE then entered at great length into the details of his plan, with the ail of maps and diagrams, &e., and, in answer to questions put by the right hon. a - onet, he admitted that it would be necessary to have various outfalls into the Thames between Vauxhall bridge and Deptford-creek to carry off the surface st arm water whica it might be expected would be necessary from 20 to 30 days in each year. It might so happen that with these floods some of the sewage would un avoidably be carried into the Thames. It was proposed that the outfall of the sewage at " Hafway reach" should take place one hour before and two hours after the change of tide. The points of discharge would be two miles and a half beyond the metropolitan area en the south side, and three miles and a quarter on the north side of the Thames. It had been calculated that the flow of the sewage, after being discharged into the Thames, might come within about a quarter of a mile of the metropolitan boundary. Sir B. HALL said two plans had already been rejected, one on the 22d July, and the other on the 6th Oct. What he (Sir B. Hall) wanted to know was how it was that the Metropolitan Board had brought before him (the right hon, baronet) this plan " B," seeing that the Board had themselves, in the first instance, partially con demned it, when they rejected it for further i❑formation, and that in the second instance they had wholly con demned it. Oa the latter occasion, when the chairman gave the casting vote, he (Sir B. Hall) recollected read ing that one of the members exclaimed, in reference to that vote, "You have saved the Board." Mr. THWAITEg explained that that was in reference to an amendment that the outfall should bu west of Erith, which was negatived. _ _ Sir E. HALL said he supposed that the plan " B" had been submitted to him, under the impression that it com plied with the provisions of the act. All he could then say was that the whole subject would have his best and most speedy attention. Mr. MARRA;LE then submitted the plan for the CJvent-garden improvements, the net estimate for the cost of which is 45,0301., of which the Duke of Bedford subscribes 15,000/. _ _ Sir B. HALL said upon this subject he had very seri ous complaints to make against the Metropolitan Board. With reference to the Covent-garden improvements he had called their attention to the subject so far back as the 16th July, and bad stated that he would prefer that the Metropolitan Board should carry out the works, but that if they did not desire to do so it should be done by his department. On the 28th, 11 days afterwards, he re ceived a letter thanking him for the plans, and he had never heard anything more till that day, when the plans were brought to him and he was called upon to decide at once, so that the Parliamentary notices might appear on the 15th. It was really too bad. Mr. Tstwams said the board had had its attention occupied with the main drainage question, and other rubjects as well. Sir 72. HALL said the effect would be-. that he motild have to throw aside all Government business to attend to these matters, _hut there was another matter upon which he telt it- bis.duty to talk to the deputation most seriously. He alluded to the Southwark improvements. What were the facts f On the Bth March last the Metro politan Board required to be informed what funds there were at disposal for Southwark improvements. On the 13thhe informed them that there were two sums of 30,0001., which, with interest, amounted to 83,9001. raised under the 12th, 13th, and 14th Vic., cap. 103, and 16th Vie., cap. 18, for making a continuous line of street between Southwark and Westminster bridges through Stamford street and the York-road, within seven years from the date of the last-mentioned act, and that in case the money was not so applied within that period it would be repaid to the Consolidated Fund. On the 15th April the Metros pulitan Board requested to be furnished with the plans and documents before that board relative to these im provements, and on the 17th a letter with the plans, &c., required, was sent. Nothing further took place until the 31st July, when a letter was written to the Metro politan Board expressing the wish of the First Commis sioner to be informed whether they contemplated pro ceeding with the formation of any new line of road on the Surrey side, and rev( Wing to be furnished with such plan, as it might affect the contemplated improvements near Parliament-street. On the 7th August he received a reply stating that the subject was under consideration, and the result would be communicated as early as vos sihle. This was 11 weeks after his first communication ; and from the 7th August, when he received the reply, saying the subject was under consideration, he (Sir B. Hall) received no communication until that day, when he wets informed that he would hare the plan laid before him, involving an outlay of 300 0001. of public money, to decide upon, and only five days to do it in in order to get the Parliamentary notices reads, while the Metropo litan Bo Tel had had the subject under consideration dace the ith of March last. It was really too bad. Mr. THWAITES said the board would certainly, as a matter of courtesy, lay the Southwark improvement plan before Sir B Hall ; but !there was a doubt whetter it was requisite to do more than give the Parliamentary notices, the sum being above 50,0001. The board bad not Os nselves agreed as to the plan. Sir B. HALL said, if the Metropolitan Board felt they bad no right to send their Southwark p'au to him for approval, let them not do so. He must tell them that he thought, however, they were bound to do so under the act. It was really monstrous that the Board of Works should have had tee matter so long before them, and then give him (Sir B. Hall) only a few days to con sider plans involving an outlay of 300,000/. r. TRWAITES, Mr. Wooaarea, and other gentlemen admitted that the time was exceedingly short, and after some discussion, Sir B. HALL said if the plans were sent to him on Monday ho would put aside other Government business to attend to the subject, so that the Parliamentary notices !night be in time ; but he really must request the Metropolitan Board to let this be the last time they would allow such delays to 000ur. He would also give bis opinion on the sewage plan as early as possible. The deputation then withdrew. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Mr. Handcock means to vacate his seat for Athlone. THE TIPPERARY BANK. The loungers about the law courts, who have the reputation of knowing more than ordinary people, say the expected compromise in favour of the con tributories to the Tipperary Bank will nob be car ried out. They know certain depositors who will not abate one jot of their demands. Meanwhile the litigation proceeds in the several law courts, to the great profit of the bar and the solicitors, and the edification of au impartial and unaffected people. In the Common Pleas yesterday the affairs of , the concern were again under consideration, in the cases of "Ryan v. M`Dowell," and two or three others against the same personage. Mr. Bland, Q.C., moved on the part of the plaintiff (Slr. Ryan) to make absolute a conditional order grand. last June to issues a scit e facies, upon the usual affida vit. There was no opposition to the motion ) and The court granted it with costs. Mr. Heron made similar applications in two other un opposed cases, which were granted. The Chief Justice then inquired of Counsel what order the Court of Exchequer made in like applications as to costs ? • Mr. Heron—The order was _that the shareholder should bear the costs of making the conditional order absolute. The Chief Justice—Did this make the costs cf the conditional order costs in the cause, or did they say nothing about them ? Mr. Heron—They did not say anything about them, and then, as a matter of course, they are costs in the cause. The Chief Justice.—And we make the same order in those cases. We say nothing of the costs of the condi tional orders, and give the costs of the motion. D. Bergin v. M`Dowell.—J. Bergin v. Same.—Tooker v. Same. - Mr. Heron moved in all these cases for orders to make absolute conditional orders of the 27th of June last, for liberty to issue writs of scire facias against Mr. Vincent Scully, M.P , notwithstanding the cause shown, and for the costs of the motion. The applications were grounded on the affidavits of the plaintilD, which stated thv. facts of the failure of the bank, ete. ; the particular case against Mr. Scully being that his name appeared on the last Stamp-office return as a shard., dn., which was MR cient, he (Mr. Heron) contended, to sustain the motions. The affidavits filed as cause stated that Mr. Scully ceased to be a shareholder in March, 1855 ; that he knew no thing of the bank report of Feb., 1856, or that Mr. John Sadleir was allowed to overdraw his account. The Chief Justice—The defence is, in fact, that Mr. Scully is nut a shareholder, although his name appears in the Stamp.office return. Mr. Heron replied in the affirmative, and cited the case of Carroll v. Kennedy, 7th Irish Jurist, as an autho rity in support of his motion. Mr. Sullivan opposed the motion. The question was whether Mr. Scully was a shareholder within the mean , ing of the 6 Geo. IV., against whom a scire facias could go ?He had assigned his shares in March, 1855, and swore he knew nothing of the fraudulent report, or of the advances of Mr. John Sadleir. The Master of the Rolls had acquitted his (Mr. Sullivan's) client of all fraud in the matter, although he held him liable ; yet all the imputations of fraud were repeated in the present appli cation. He (sfr. Sullivan contended that, before scire facias could issue against Mr. Scully, it should be first issued against all the existing shareholders. The Court were of opinion that the conditional orders should be made absolute in all cases in this court, with costs, to a certain extent, subject to taxation. THE MODEL CORPORATION OF DROGHEDA. The corporation of Drogheda is a liberal—very liberal body. It has shown this by its hostility to ministers' money and its present ruffi— ; but it would not be deemed good taste to finish the word; let us therefore glance at a picture of this assembly of local legislators, as sketched by several gentle men who have just resigned in disgust. Thomas Hammond, Esq., who was mayor last year, says : " My election to the office of chief magistrate of your town—an honour which it is well known I neither soli cited nor wished—immediately upon my becoming a member of the council, unhappily led to some bitter ness of feeling on the part of certain members of that body, which I am pained to say displayed itself in petty "anioyances on several occasions daring-toy yoarotlrdisoo. More recently this wretched feeling has asstinsed such character that-the public business is neglected or .over looked, private feelings and miserable personalities in dulged in, and the council (instead of being engaged in consultation for thegood of the municipality) has become an arena for the display of sectional and party differences and uncharitable invective. Those of the council who preserve their consistency and endeavour to do their duty are branded as being influenced by vindictive mo tives or individual hostility—calm deliberation on cer tain subjects lately brought before the council being totally out of the question. None will be heard bat those who speek for the chair or with the chair —the clamour of a few stifling all legitimate discussion. On slate occasion, in my endeavour to discharge my duty to rec ,ver property long withheld from the public I stu diously avoided using strong or offensive language ; yet I was assailed in the most u , gentletnanly winner from the chair, aud the coarsest and most insulting personalities used towards me. . . . I can therefore hale no wish to remain a member of a body where the pubic good is made subservient to the triumph of a party, and I now most respectfully beg leave to resign the trust reposed in me into the bands of those who gave it." Dr. Atkinson has also published an address of resignation, in which he says— " The corporation has ceased to be a deliberative as sembly, and clamorous and personal invective, un checked by the chairman, has usurped the place of calm ! discussion and attention to the business of the Three other memli-irs of the body are, it is said, likewise about to retire. THE BATTLE OF BUNKE teS HILL. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times:— Sir,-ob3erving that your correspondent, in his letter from Boston, says, in regard to the battle of Bunker's!hill, " who commanded on the American side is still disputed ;" and, farther on, " who conceived the Flan of seizing on the hill is not known," I, as a descendant of one who commanded on that day, will endeavour to enlighten your readers on what is known by every schoolboy iu the United States. With regard to the conception, says Washington Irving, " the heights, which swell up in the rear o f the village (Charlestown), overlook the town (Boston) and shipping. The project was conceived in the besieging camp to seize and occupy those heights. A council of war was held upon the sub ject. General Putnam was one of the most strenu ous in favour of the measure. Some of the most wary and judicious, among whom were General t Ward and Dr. Warren, doubted the expediency," &c. Putnam made light of the d fident of the bravery having seen it tried in t th he e olade militia,g F er r . ejnr . e l: , Is itrre w ar as irh e v on - t; was seconded by Gen. Pomeroy, a leader of like stamp, and another veteran of the French w ar. He had been a hunt e r in his time, a dead sh ot with the rifle, and was ready to lead troos gainst the enemy, " with five ctertridges to a man. He was p a seconded by Col. gym.. Prescott, whose opinion, says Irving, "probably settled the question, and it was determined to seize 012 and fortify Bunker's hill. Col. Prescott was e 'hos e ' by Gen. Ward to conduct the enterprise .et while on the march they w Charlestown -neck ; t re m b Gen.
