PROPOSED RAILWAYS IN THE METROPOLIS. A deputation from the inhabitants of Euston-square and neighbourhood attended Vae Board to present a memorial on the subject of the various railways proposed to be con structed 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 inhaci property. They also urged that much b e tt er rou tes might ta be nt se s le a c n te d d w fo o r ul th d e a s lso eradilewstaroysy a great deal of very valuable than were now proposed. Mr. SPENCER addressed theßoard at considerable length in support of the memorial, which, on the motion of Mr. SILAS TAYLOR, was referred to the Streets Committee for consideration and report. SURVEYS FOR 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, tto. The memorial stated that subways were not suitable for gas mains, for if gas was mixed with common a i r it b ecame explosive, and inlconfined andlimited p l aoeswas exceed i ng l y dangerous. It was impossible to prevent the escape of gas. by reason of the rapid decay of pipes, and all works in sub ways would have to be performed by artifi c i al light, escapes of go would be subject to almost im med i ate explos i on. as The memorial went to say that frequent oonneo tions with mains had to be made, but in.a dark and confined space that would be at all times difficult and dangerous, and in cases which large mains are to be c onnecte d qu it e impracticable, as such work could not be pe r f ormed by arti ficial light, and without more fresh air tha n could b e ob tained in any confined space. Melt w hen working in an great atmosphere difficulty is t containing doing t much hei r work ga effectively, o ft en faintings, even in th e open air, had away, and in a close subway their lives would be endangered. 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 lumber of hoases were materially injured, and by an explosion of gas in a subway at Green wich, by which one workman was killed and anot h er was e s t ub ways Bill. wouldtt oin l ifeg tphr protect tneod usefult t he seriously injured. Therefore, while admit pro perty eu e r s b t s l yi c of by and subways, exempting the g a o t h companies s hopedmi n a s i n a s thef fromro m ß d t o ah a ne r g d Mr. RICHARDS addressed the Board in Support of the memorial. The CHAIRMAN said, a t en early peri o d i n the ex i s t ence of the Bo ar d th e i r a tt en tion had been call e d to the evil of the streets being so frequently broken up, causing not only damage to the roads, but interruption to the train°, The attention of the Board was also drawn to another, but not less evil, which was the subsoil of London, Which had been referred to. The escaped gas became mixed with the Rib soil, and it became dangerous to public health.l The Board had not rushed into this subject without the fullest inquiry, for they offered premiums for the best designs ibr a subway, and those designs were referred to a committee, among whom were the late Mr. Robert Stephenson, Mr. liawksley, Mr. Wyatt, Mr. W. Cubitt, the late Mr. Alex ander Wright, Mr. Bazalgette, and Mr. Marrable, 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 b e p a i n t e d, an d the joint s cou ld be frequently examined. Th ey a l so cons id ere d th a t th ere would be the addi tional advantage, in an economical point o f v i ew, b y en abling gas companies to lay down their pipes without dis turbing the roadway, and thus save the expense of relaying the road, As these subways were formed, at tha expense of THE ACCOUNTANT TO THE BOARD. Mr. DALTON brought up a report from the Finance Com mittee, recommending that a retiring allowance of £250 a year for life be granted to the accountant, Mr. Hatton ; but that such retiring allowance he subject to the condition that if at any time hereafter (his health being restored) he shall be appointed to any office or employment at a salary equal to that which he now receives—viz., £550 per annum, the payment of his retiring allowance shall be suspended so long as he shall receive such salary. Mr. ROCHE very mach doubted whether the Board had the power to grant retiring pensions. Mr. SICTR, the solicitor, advised the Board that they had the power to grant this pension. Mr. BROSTER moved as an admendment to the original recommendation that the sum proposed be granted during the pleasure of the Board. Mr. ROBERT TAYLOR supported the amendment• The subject led to a further discussion, and on the motion being put, the amendment was carried by a majority of 17 to 12. THE EXPENSES OP TEE *OAED, OFFICERS' SALARIES, &O, Several letters were read from vestries and district Boards protesting against the working expenses of the Board, and also the continual increase of officers' salaries, believing that they were at present very adequately paid for their ser vices. These communications were received, and ordered to be entered on the minutes. The rest of the business havisg been disposed of, the Board adjourned. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, A special Court of Common Council was held yesterday for the purpose of considering the report of the Royal En tertainment Committee, appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the reception of the Prince and Princess of Wales at the ball at Guildhall, last June, and other business. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. Ii will be remembered that when the report of the Enter tainment Committee was originally brought up a good deal of discussion took place respecting it, la consequence of a statement that was made by Deputy Elliott, that large quan tities of valuable cuticles that had been procured from diffe rent tradesmen for the purposes of the entertainment had 'been diVided among certain members of the committee; and also that they had expended a very considerable sum of money for wines, luncheons, and other refreshment. The discussion upon the report was postponed, and several no tices of motion were placed upon the paper of business of this court in reference to the subject, and those motions now came on for discussion. 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, and 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 ccntravention of the standing orders or the Court, and impairing the dignity of its members. He said that no doubt the entertainment committee had oarried out in a very satisfactory manner the object for which it was appointed, but it appeared to him that by their imbseqttent proceedings a minority of the committee had entirely spoiled the good effect. (Hear, hear.) He then alluded to the charges 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 court 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 view to prevent such a proceeding from occurring again, he hoped his pre sent motion would be agreed to. (Hear, hear.) Deputy PERKIN'S seconded the motion, and a long debate ensued upon it. - Mr. HARRIS said that although he was a member of the committee, he did not approve of the proceedings they had taken with regard to the presents that had been made to their chairman, Mr. Truscott. He suggested that the com mittee should apply to the court for its saneti6n for this course, which ho was sure would have been granted. If they had done so, there would have been no ground for the outcry that had been made upon the subject, and the ridicule that had been oast upon the Corporation in consequence. (Hear. hear.) After the long time that had elapsed, howeirar, it appeared to him that the beat courso was to lot 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 provided. (Hear.) Deputy ELLIOTT complained that an amendment he had placed upon the paper for discussion had not been brought on for discussion beforo the motion of Deputy Burnell. He said that he was not actuated by any hostile feeling towards the committee, and certainly not towards the chairman, Mr. Trusoott, who he had no hesitation in saying was " a jolly good fellow"—(hear, hear, and laughter)—and 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 tee. 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 share of solid pudding. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He found by their report that they had spent £243 in luncheons,l277 in a breaking. up frolic en the river, and £l7O for wine, and, in point of fact, out of the total cost of the entertainment, which was ,515,000, he cal culated that the committee had engrossed £2,300 for then;- , selves. (Oh, oh, and hear, hear.) The cost of each person invited was about £7 10s. per ticket, and, besides their own tickets, the ooramittee 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 knew 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 £16,000 was expended through the unnecessary extra vagance of the committee. Mr. BLAKE 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 by Deputy Elliott on the present and former occasion that they had very little foundation of truth in them. Mr. SLOWMA.N, 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 time 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 course 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 hie opinion that the state ments Lade by tee committee in their own report, and the omissions, were quite suffie!ent to justify further 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 mit of their report. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COCKERELL said he hoped the matter would be al lowed to drop. The committee had no doubt transgressed the standing orders of the Court, bat 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 assured 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 Burnell, after some further discus sion, *as put by the Recorder, and declared to be negatived. Deputy ELLIOTT then proposed another amendment to the effect that the subject should be referred to a special cora naittee,!th consider and report how far the committee in ques tion was justified by anclettt 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 bo under the same control as that to which all other committees are 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 considered he had already fully answered all the charges that were made against the committee, and that on the present occasion lto oeusidered lie should best consult the PRICF 4d. STAMPED ....sd. dignity of the Court by leaving the patter entirely in their hands. A division then took place, when there appeared— For the amendment 52 Against it 67 Majority against the amendment The original motion, that the report of the committee be received and agreed to, Was then put, and carried unani mously. A report was then brought up relative to the ptirchase by the Corporation of the library and office furniture of the late solicitor, Mr. C. Pearson ; and in answer to a question that was put by one of the members of the Court, it was stated that certain moneys for counsel's fees and other matters re maining unpaid at the time of Mr. Peareon's dsccafe, had since all been paid by his relatives. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, NORTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day, at York, Mr. H. S. Thompson, M.P., in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN then made some remarks on the position and prospects of the company, and in defence of the policy pursued by the directors. He concluded by moving that the report be received and adopted. Mr. Alderman LEEMAN (the vice-chairman) seconded the motion. A long discussion thou took place, and the report was finally adopted. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the dividends recom mended by the directors, which are to be paid on the 27th inst. _ _ _ Mr. KITSON, of Leeds, seconded the motion, which was carried. _ _ The CHAIRMAN next moved that the construction of a line from York, via Selby, to the Great Northern Railway near Askern, was expedient, and that the directors proceed with the bill introduced into Parliament. Mr. HARTLEY seconded the motion, and it was carried. The CHAIRMAN proposed a motion approving the oon struction of a branch from Church Fenton to Micklofleld, to shorten the communication between York and Leeds. Mr. PRIESTMAN seconded the motion, and it was carried. The directors were also authorised to proceed with the bill for the construction of the short branches at Bishop Auckland and at :Deere, in Cumberland. The retiring directors were re-elected, and the prooeedingo concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. NEW WORK BY THE DUKE OF MANCHESTER. Now ready, in 2 vols.

On the return of Parson Beecher, the President invited a distinguished party to meet his reverence at supper, when " the feast of .reason and the flow of soul" had full swing, and " inter vine," many truths were stated. The President's hammer after the first round of cocktails, having induced silence (u.nusual amore,-, Yankees), the War Minister of Plymouth Church„ and the "Greek and Hell fire," Dr. Brownson, forgetting sectarian differences, cheek hands. Beecher not forgetting to hint, that if tho Arch bishop stripped the fiery doctor for disobedience, ho would be but too happy to have him play second fiddle, as he could admit no equal or even a co::,diu tor. The learned doctor diseonted, thinking hie. self the best man of the two. The President called for a bumper, and gave the health of his reverend friend, " Ward Berchor,' whom he sent to Europe to raise, the churChos, and :;et up a feeling in favour of the North. This was difficult. to de, except in Russia, as those ignorant and uneducated Earopeans, looked on the Grout itpublie, acting the same despotic part in America as Russia was doing in Poland with an evil eye, all being favourable to the South , fighting for their in dependence, and being well supplied withithe sinews , of war, he got a good many supporters there by spending some of Uncle Sam's gold " slug s, " al l the greenbacks being re t ur ned as useless, which his his friend Ch ats wou ld have goad use for here. He would not further detain the crowd, but give the health of the Cock of Brooklyn, which was drank with all due honours. The rev. gentleman replied with his usual modesty, stating that on his arrival in England he found the feeling of the people against the North and in favour of the South, with the exception of the Manchester school, headed by Bright, Cobden, and Leathern, who wished to have a Republic like this, where a cotton spinner, rail splitter, or vote buyer might be President in place of a Queen, and a new emancipation and clerical party who looked on Brougham, Wilberforce, and such claptraps as old fogies, and on the Church as sheer nonsense—his particular friend Baptist Noel having seceded from it. With these exceptions ho found public opinion and all the churches against them. However, by his blarney, economy of the truth, oratory, and being all things to all men, he showed the Bti• tishers that the Northerns were the " hail fellows" of the blacks, whom they all looked on as " men and brothers"—(no, no)—and that in a short time they would all through the North have mixed mar riages between pure niggers and Fifth Avenue beauties, and coloured ladies with the Broadway swells. (No, no, no.) But what pleased him most was the great terror he infused into the chief men —Lord Russell eating np his word of "Empire and dominion" and cowering to the "Live Yankees'' by seizing the Confederate rams, though allowing ns 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 throat was quite unnecessary, as Lord Russell was now their best backer, break iag all international law in our favour and doing all he could to injure the rebels. Only for him France long ego 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 President, when the country will enjoy the same peace, liberty, and happiness as we nos enjoy under the mildest of Presidents and most sagacious and prophetical 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 not have done for the Queen of England or Emperor of the French. The only real friends the United States had in Europe were the Czar of Russia and Bright and his party in England. Mr. Seward got up to say that as soon as this war was over the Monroe doctrine should be en forcod—Napoleon driven from Mexico, and the Britieh out of Canada and Nova Scotia ; he would only leave them Newfoundland to take codfish. '` On to Canada" was his watchword. He showed that he did not care three pins for England, by pro moting Wilkes to bo an admiral for seizing the Trent, and sending that eminent statesman Cassius Marcellus Clay nominally as ambassador to Russia, but, in reality, to raise a rebellion in Ireland aril India, referring to the Congress Blue Book as the subject. Mr. 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. Ho thought that Welles ought to have bought the rams, instead of spending his money in useless ships and worthless ironclads. Mr. Welles rose, rather excited, saying that having no goldlo 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 afraid of this almighty country which could, would, and will whip all creation. — Cork Reporter. The Wife Murder it Birmingham. 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,Birminghare, yesterday afternoon before Dr. B. Davis, borough coroner. The mur derer, George Hall, was present in custody, and appeared to be very much affected by the dreadful position in which he stands. The evidence given fully bore out the brief statement of the facts of the case which were given in our co lumns yesterday, and it was shown that while they lived together deceased and her husband were con stantly quarrelling, and that after she had loft hi m he became very jealous of her intimacy with an old sweetheart.

Police-con stable Bromage said that at about one o'clock a man. camp to him with the pistols, and said that Hall had shot hie wife with one of them. On this witness went to the house of Hall's father in Farm-atreet, where he found the prisoner. On charging him with the murder, he said, " Yes ; 1 did it," and before he was handcuffed ho shook hands with his father, and brother, and sister, and said he hoped to meet them in heaven. Mr. B;kcr, surgeon, said that deceased had died from injuries caused by a pistol shot wound, and said that the ball, after passing through the left cheek, had taken a back.' ward direction, lodging in the vertebre of the neck, and severing one of the principal arteries.
