Mr. DALTON brought up a report from the Finr-►oe Com mittee, recommending that a retiring allowance of £250 a year for life be granted to the accountant, Mr. Halton ; but that such retiring allowance be subject to the condition that if at any time hereafter (his health being restere.:l) he shall be appointed to any office or employment at a Fa la. y equal to that which he now receives—viz. - , £550 per annum, the payment of his retiring allowance shall be sr vended so long as ho shall receive such salary.

PROPOSED RAILWAYS IN THE METROPOLIS. A deputation from the inhabitant s of Euston-square and neighbourhood attended Vie Board to present a memorial on the subject of the various railways proposed to bo con struotid on the site of Euston-square. The memorial stated that the inhabitants of Euston square and neighbourhood with the feelings of alarm the notices which had been given for the construction of the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway,: and the North-Western and Charing-cross Junction Railway, which would materially interfere with the present open spaces which were necessary for the health of the inhabi tants, end would also destroy a great deal of very valuable be selected for these r a ilwa y s tha n were now proposed. property.

SURVEYS TOR GAS AND WATER PIPES, TELEGRAPHS, &C. A deputation from the different metropolitan gas com panies attended the Board to present a memorial on the subject of laying gas mains in subways, &o. were not suitable for gas mains, for if gas was mixed with The memorial stated that subways common air it became explosive, and inlconfined andlimited placeswas exceedingly dangerous. It was impossible to prevent the escape of gas. by reason of the rapid decay of pipes, and as all works in sub ways would have to be performed by artificial light, escapes o T f he gas m w em ou o l r d ial be wsuenbjtecttoto say ymost immediate explosion. that frequent connec tions with mains had to be made, but in a dark and confined space that would be at all times difficult sad dangerous, and in cases which large mane are to be connected quite impracticable, as such work could not be performed by arti ficial light, and without more fresh air than could be ob tained in any confined space. Meta when working in an a t m osphere containing much gas , even in the open air, had great difficulty in doing their work effective ly, often fainting away, and in a close subway their lives would b e endangere d . It was also urged that escaped gas in subways might be readily fired by the carelessness of workmen and even by a lucifer match accidentally thrown down a ventilator, and accidents of the kind occurred in sewers in Clerkenwell and in the Strand, by which a number of houses were materially injured, and by an explosion of gas in a subway at Green wich, by which one workman was killed and another was seriously injured. Therefore, while admitting the useful ness of subways, they hoped the Board would protect the public and the gas companies from danger t o li fe and pro perty by exempting gas mines from the Subways Bill. Mr. RICHARDS addressed the Board iu support of the memorial. The et-tallow/tar said, at an early period in the existence of the Board their attention ha d been cal led to the evil of damage e m s a t g ree e t t o s tbheeinrgoasdosf, but interruption y broken attention of the Board was also drawn to mother, but not loss evil, which was the subsoil of Lond on, which had been frequently up,t causing not only the traffic. The referred to. The escaped gas became mixed with the sub soil, and it became dangerous to public health.i 4 The Board had not rushed into this subject without the i'ullest inquiry, for they offered premiums for the best designs for a subway, and those designs were referred to a committee, among whom were the late Mr. Robert Stephenson, Mr. Hawksley, Mr. Wyatt, Mr. W. Cubitt, the late Mr. Alex ander Wright, 111 r. Bazalgotte, and Mr. Marrablo, and they gave the fullest consideration to the subject. They believed that they should be able to prevent the escape of gas, as the pipes would be painted, and the, joints could be frequently examined. Thoy also considered that there would be the additional advantage, iu au economical point of view, by en abling g as companies to lay demon their pipes without dis turbing the roadway, and thus save the expense of relaying _ the road, As theso subways were formed, at the expense or Deputy BURNELL brought forward the first motion as an amendment to the reception of the report, which was to the effect that the committee be dissolved, end that the Court re gretted to find that several articles the property of the cor poration had been appropriated to certain members of the committee, in contravention of the ett nding orders of the Court, and impairing the digelly of its members. He said that no doubt the entertainment committee had cet.ied out in a very satisfactory manner the object for which it was appointed, but it appeared to him that by their subsequent proceedings a minority of the committee had entirely spoiled the good effect. .(Hear, hear.) He then eiluded to the charge's that had been made of several members of the com mittee having taken costly articles to their Own use, that were undoubtedly the property of the Corporation ; and said that although possibly some members of the covet might think it advisable that the matter should be passed over without discussion, he was not one of those who entertained that opinion, but felt on the contrary that the honour and dignity of the court and the Corporation of London were deeply involved in the matter, and with a N:OW to prevent such a proceeding from ()conning egain, he hoped his pre sent motion would be agreed to. (Hear, hear.) Deputy PERKIN 3 seconded the motion, and a long debate ensued upon it. Mr. IikRRIB said that although ho wee a member of the committee, he did not approve of the proceedings they had taken with regard to the presents that had bean made to their chairman, Mr. Truscott. He suggested that the com mittee should apply to the court for its sanction for this course, which he was sure would have been granted. If they had done so, there would have boon no ground for the outcry that had been made upon the subject, and the ridicule that had been cast upon the Corporation in consequence. (H.,:ar. hear.) After the long time that had elapsed, however, it appeared to him that the best course was to let the matter drop, as any further discussion must not only be unpleasant to the Corporation, but also to the high and illustrious per sonages for whom the entertainment was proNided. (Hear.) Deputy ELLIOTT complained that an amendment he had placed upon the pap ,r for discussion had not been brought on for discussion before the motion of Deputy Burnell. lie said that he was not aatuatcd by any hostile feeling towards the committee, and certainly not towards the chairman, Mr. Trueoott, who he had no hesitation in saying was " a jolly good fellow"—(hear, hear, and laughter)—aud he had only taken the matter up out of respect to the Corporation, and to endeavour to prevent the repetition of what he considered to be a most improper proceeding on the part of the commit teo. Those who occupied the position they had done in providing for the entertainment of Royalty were sometimes supposed to be satisfied by the honour they acquired by their position, but most undoubtedly the committee, besides honour, had had a very good ahem of solid pudding. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He found by their report that they had spent £243 in luncheons,£277 in a breaking. up frolic on the river, and £l7O for wine, end, in point of fact, out of the total cost of the entertainment, which was £16,000, he cal culated that the committee had engrossed £2,300 for them selves. (Oh, oh, and hear, hear.) The cost of each person invited was about £7 10s. per ticket, and, besides their own ticket's, the committee appropriated 160 others for their own use, which, at the sum stated, amounted to more than £l,lOO. With reference to this subject, he might state that upon the occasion when her Majesty attended a City ban quet he know that £lO was offered for a ticket, so that the Court might judge the extent of patronage obtained by the committee by having so many tickets. (Oh, oh.) Deputy Elliott went on to express his opinion that the committee had exceeded the powers vested in them by the Court, and that the expenditure they incurred was very much larger than it ought to have been, and he reminded the Court that upon the occasion when King William visited the City the cost of the entertainment was only £3,000, upon the visit of her Majesty it was only £6,000 ; but upon the last occa sion £15,000 was expended through the unnecessary extra vagance of the committee. Mr. BIJOU said, as one of the members of the Royal Entertainment Committee, he had no hesitation in stating in reference to the statements that had been made byDeputy Elliott on the present and former occasion that they had very little foundation of truth in them. Mr. SLOWMAN, another member of the committee, made a statement to the same effect, and said that so far as h e was concerned all the property that came to his share was a wooden-backed hair brush, which he only prized as ame mento of the interesting occasion. Mr. WHEELER considered Deputy Elliott was quite jus tified in the course he had taken, and that the public would not be satisfied unless the Corporation took some steps in the matter. Mr. ROWE said he could not agree with the opinion that the Court was under obligation to Deputy Elliott for the oourse•he had taken in this matter, as he considered that nothing was more calculated to bring the Court into ridicule and contempt. The statements that were made upon the subject were only "nuts" to the public, and he hoped the matter would be dropped. Deputy DE JERSEY expressed his opinion that the state ments wade by the committee in their own report, and the Omissions, were quite sufficient to justify farther inquiry, and that when a committee was appointed by that Court for any specific purpose, they ought to take care that all their proceedings would bear the light of day, (Hear, hear.) there was not a word in the report about the sum of £350 having been expended in luncheons, and although he, of course, was aware the committee had a perfect right to have refreshments, the amount so expended ought not to be kept out of their report, (Hear, hear.) Mr. COCKERELL said he hoped the matter would be al lowed to drop. Tho committee had no doubt transgressed the standing orders of the Court, but he thought they had suffered quite enough for what they had done. Deputy FRY expressed the same view, and said that what already taken place would completely answer the object in view, and the Court might feel re-sured that no similar committee would ever act in the same way again, or dispose of any property without the sanction of the Court. The motion of Deputy Barnell, after some further discus sion, was put by the Recorder, and declared to be nQgatived. 1 Deputy ELLIOTT then proposed another amendment to the effect that the subject should be referred to a special com • naittee,lto consider and report hew far the committeein ques tion was justified by ancient usage and custom in appropriat ing to their own use various costly goods the property of the Corporation, and also by what means the expenditure of special committees may in future be under the same control as that to which all other committees aro subject. -- Mr. TRUSCOTT, the chairman of the Entertainment Com mittee, after some discussion had taken place upon this amendment, briefly addressed the Court, and said he eonsidorod ho had already fully answered all the chargca that were made against the committee, and that on the present oocasion he considered be sh=ld ! , ft (1,-,T1,1U NORTH DEVON• The directors' report states that a farther reduedon has been made in the office expenses, and that the balance of net revenue after payment of all charges is £2,789, which enables the directors to recommend the payment of a divi dend (free of income tax) at the rate of 36e. per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock, 18a. per sent. per annum on the A stock, and 72e. on the B stock, leaving a balance of £l4.

These invaluable pills exert a greater and more beneficial influence over nervous disorders than any other medicine. Their mode of action is thoroughly consonant with reason. They completely purify the blood, purify both head and stomach of all faulty functions, and expel all oppressive accumulations from the bowels, With the blood purified and all poisons purged from the system regularity must prevail throughout the body, aches and pains roust cease, healthful energy must supplant weariness, and . the shaky nerves must r ega i n t h eir wholesome tone.

(No, no, no.) But what pleased him most was the great terror he infused into the chief men —Lord Russell eating up his word of " Empire and dominion" and cowering to the " Live Yankees' , by seizing the Confederate ramu, though allowing us to get what we wanted. The North had no better friend in Europe than Lord Russell, On this account he must com plain of Secretary Chase wanting to pull England by the hair. Such a threat was quite unnecesoary, as Lord Russell was now their best banker, break ing all international law in our favour and doing all ho could to injure the rebels. Only for him France long ago would have recognised the South. Before sitting down he would give the health of friend Bright and the free-traders of England but protectionists of America—may they soon establish a Republic in England with Bright as Presideat, when the country will enjoy the same peace, liberty, and happiness as we no 7e enjoy under the mildest of Presidents and most sagacious and prophetictd of Secretaries. The President and Company rose to do honour to the toast of the "Agrarian Tribune of England," and to show his high sense of Mr. Bright's anti- English but American services he had granted a free pardon to a convicted pirate at his request which he would net have done fcr the Queen of England or Emptror of the French_ The only real friends the United States had in Europe were the Czar of Russia and Bright and his party in Regime.

"On to Caunda" wee his watchword; Ho showed that ho did not care three pins for _England, by vto rooting Wilkes to ho an admiral for seizing the Trent, and sending that eminent statesman CasEins Marcellus Clay nominally as ambassador to Ruesis, but, in reality, to raise a rebellion in Ireland and India, referring to the Congress Blue Book as the subject. _ _ ICIr. Chase then started on his legs, threatening that England must foot all the claims for the losses sustained by the Southern pirates, giving a hint to the owners to quadruple them. He thought that Welles ought to have bought the rams, instead of 'pending his money in useless ships and worthless ironclads. Mr. Welles rose, rather excited, saying that having no gold to pay, the English builders refused to take Chase's greenbacks, in which they were quite right, as they never would be paid. He congratulated them in a war with England, as Captain Baldwin, of the Vanderbilt, had done double as much as Wilkes, seizing a British ship in British waters, and British coal on British soil, and holding them too. Now, if Palmerston or Russell had the spunk, they could take up the gauntlet thrown down to them, but they were afnid of this almighty country which could, would, and will whip all creation.--. Cork Reporter. The Wife ]Murder atßirrainghaut, The inquest on the body of the woman Sarah Ann Hall, who was shot by her husband on Tuesday night last, was held at the Green Man Tavern, Dartmouth-street,Birminghate, yesterday afternoon before Dr. B.
