METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS.
—..--
Yesterday the usual weekly meeting of the Board
au held at the °Mon, Spring-gardens ; Mr. JOHN ?Swam=
in the chair.

The estimate for the sums required for the ensuing year
was brought up by the bunco oommittee, as follows :
Sewerage and Drainage.—Sums required for works during
the year 18&3, exclusive of main drainage works, and
other special amount works. is 26,800/. ; rent taxis at
pumping stations and contingent works, 10,250/., making
a total of 37,050/.
Mr. DALTON moved the adoption of this part of the esti-
mate, which was agreed to.
Local Improvements. —lO,OOO/.
Mr. DALTON then moved the adoption of this, which he
said was for carrying out local improvements.
Mr. CASPNAKL, is a short speech, moved am an amend-
ment that the sum of 50,0001. should be agreed to, for he
cionsidered that public improvements were of the greatest
importance, and they could only be executed by a large out-
lay. Much was expected of that beard by the public, and
' he believed that they would hail with pletusurs a rate of
one penny in the pound, which would yield 57.0001. for
such a
Mr. purpose
se.HANSMON seconded the amendment, and said
he folly concurred Ma what the honourable member had said
who had just sat down.
Mr. P. DOULTOy, M.P., said he objected to so large a
sum being raised for street improvements, at a time
when the ratepayers of Lambeth, the parish be had the
honour to represent, were paying Os. in the pound, and
would probably next year have to ley 7.. He said the
board ought to ocuseder seriously before they added to those
very heavy burdens.
Mr. FREIMAN thought the ratersycre ought not to have
their burden increased. He would not object to 10,0001.,
bat he could not vote for an large a sum as 50,000/.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he should support the amend-
ment, because it would not press upon the ratepayers, but •
would be charged on the lauded interest, which had both
the legal and moral right to bear it. Since the commence-
ment of the board, which was about seven years ago, they
had spent in street improvements 21,0001., which he con-
sidered • miserable sum.
Mr. WILKINSON thought that instead of 21,0001. the
sum came nearer to 140,0001. He hoped the board would
pause before they put such an amount aside for the purposes
contemplated. if they agreed to the 50,0001. it would hold
out au inducement to the City and the metropolis to
scramble for it.
After a long discussion the amendment was negatived,
and the original resolution carried by a large majority.
The estimate for general purposes, amounting to 19,1291.
was agreed to.
On the motion for the adoption of the expenses under the
Sale of Gas Aem, the CHAIIIMAN announced that the money
spent under those acts was to be spread over three years.
The repayment of sums amounting to 60,3571. 16s. 6d.,
and the compensation to late officers amounting to 1,4531.
17s. were agreed to without dimension.
The clerk, in the absence of the engineer, read the
engineer's report upon the main drainage works.
Communications were read from the clerk, superintending
architect, and accountant, praying for an increase of salary
consequent upon their iocuesed duties on account of the
Thames Embaulanent.
A Mitres moved that it be referral to the Thames Em-
bankment Committee._ _ _

Mr. H. L TAY Loll objected, and moved as an amendment
that the communications do lie on the table.

The amendment was put and negatived, as was also the
oriftell motion.
the usual routine business the board adjourned.

WRECKS ON ERZ €4XYECII COAST.—DUNDEZ, DEC. 4.
—Yesterday morning two fine schooners got on the sand-
banks at the mouth of the River Tay, during a strong gale
from the south-east. They were the Osprey, of Primerburgb,
laden with wheat ; and the Gutenberg, of Lubeck, laden
with flax from Riga. The vessels arrived in the river early
in the morning in company, and afterwards struck on the
Abertay Sands. Both mends rolled over the bank, and the
Osprey having got into deep water immediately sunk, the
crew, six in number, taking to their bout. The boat, how-
ever, almost instantly swamped in the heavy sea, and the
awe with difficulty got on to the rigging of the schooner.
The Gutenberg having in the meantime lost her helm,
drifted to the north aide of the river, and ran ashore at the
%Mon Burn, when she heeled over, when her crew fortu-
nately managed to reach the shore by means of their own
boat. As soon as the wrecks were observed the Buddomness
lifeboat, of the Natimal Lifeboat Institution, was launched,
and rescued the crew of the Osprey from their perilous poet.
tion and brought them ashore. They had been exposed,
re dnched as they were, in the rigging for about four hours,
and lost their all nye the clothes they wore.
THE LATE PRIZE FIGHT. —A friend bait commu-
nicated to us (Record) a letter which he has received from
Sir Morton Pete, which shows that although the hon.
baronet does not usually interfere with the traffic on the
Tilbury Railway, yet he deemed it necessary to call for an
explanation of the circuni.tances under which the special
train was granted to the prize fighters. Sir Morton also
encloses the reply as follows :—" London, Tilbury. and
Southend Railway. Feechurch-street, Dec. 1, l&2.—My
dear Sir Morton,—ln reply to your inquiry respecting the
train for the prim-fight oa Wednesday last, I beg to inform
you that it was granted nodes. the fo).lowing circumstances.
Finding by their application that they bad fixed the en-
counter Moon e off at some spot down the line, and that the
first train at 7.50 would be quite inadequate to take them,
to say nothing of the great inconvenience they would be
to the ordinary passengers, it was thought better to let
them have a train to themselves at an early hour, when no
one would be annoyed by them. They agreed to go at
4.10 a.m., issued tbsir own tickets, and made their own
charge. We charged a certain sum for the train, which if
figured out would have come to the usual return-ticket fare
to the district they intended rug to. I assure you it is far
from our wish to have them people, but we cannot prevent
their going by the regular trains, and bane had to much
trouble given by their doing no, that we thought it better
to let them go_ themselves, than that they should annoy
the pulilic.—Bee me, km —odigned) A. WU/RERAN.—

of Secesaiondom, and blood has been shed. As
the prediction of these events was found so inter-
esting, we may expect that the narrative of the
occurrence will be read with some attention. We
have heard so much of what an American "servile
" war" was sure to be, there were so many good
reasons for feeling certain that it would prove
something entirely different from former wars on
the same continent in which slaves had been em-
ployed as soldiers, that everybody must wish to
know what the war, now it has happened, is like.
The letter of an eyewitness, which we print this
morning, will enable our readers to compare the
facts with the fancy sketches which the imagina-
tions of Englishmen in sympathy with slaveowners
have brought forth.
Two facts, in complete conformity with all part
experience, are established by Colonel BEARD'S ex-
pedition into Florida and Georet. The first is, that
the liberated negro, after all that the "chivalry "
have done to degrade his moral nature to the level
of the brutal lot down to which they forced him,
makes a cool, courageous, and most obedient
soldier. The second is, that where the negro slave
has reason to hope that he will be aided by a
regular Government in obtaining his freedom, he
will bide his time with patience, and irregular
outbreaks, with their attendant horrors, will not
be heard of.

When Colonel BEARD showed himself among
the blacks at Fernandina and asked for recruits
for the coloured regiment, BUNTER'S South
Carolina Volunteers, one hundred at once pre-
sented themselves. Of these, however, he could
only accept twenty-five, who left the harbour amidst
the congratulations and benedictions of their
friends. A few miles from port, when the men
were mustered, it was found that the twenty-five
had become fifty-four, nine-and-thirty having got
on board by stratagem. These men, being
asked why they had thus surreptitiously
joined the party, excused themselves by saying,
" We want to fight for our liberty, and
" for the liberty of our wives and children." When
asked whether they would dare to face their old
masters, they replied at once, " We would fight to
" the death to get our families." There was more
than this in their desire. The American negro
thoroughly understands and profoundly feels the
fixed policy of the Southern white in keeping him
from situations where he may exhibit the qualities
of the free man ; and these men ardently desired
to have an opportunity of showing that they were
worthy to be soldiers. At King's Bay, Georgia,
a detachment of 30 men of the negro regiment
were for the first time under fire. They were in
small boats, at a good distance from the steamer,
when the enemy rushed out of the thick woods and
bred at them at a distance of 50 yards. They,
however, loaded, and fired coolly and incessantly
until safe on board the steamer. On its way the
Darlington picked up and brought off numerous
families of slaves. At St. Mary's they took in two
families, and at Simon's Bay 50 women and
children, who were deposited in a place of safety.
The river Sapelo is bordered with plantat'ons,
from which many of the volunteers had made
their escape, and on which they had left
their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, and
children, with a promise to return " if the good
" LORD just open the way." As the Darlington
steamed up the river one after anotherof the black
liberators was heard crying out, " Oh ! master,
" my wife and children live there," " There is
" my brother," or " There stands my sister." The
steamer visited plantation after plantation. At
that of Mr. REUBEN KING they found the negroes
standing on the banks. The muter was in the
verandah observing the strange scene. The slaves
looked hillier and thither, now at the steamer and
now at him. But no sooner did the Darlington
turn her head to the shore, giving them assurance
of protection, than fifty-two slaves rushed to the
boat, praising GOD and blessing their deliverers ;
leaving their astonished master to ponder the jus-
tice of Him who, though He suffer long, sees all the
oppression that is done upon earth, and hears the
cry of the labourer whose hire is withheld. After
the steamer had put off, it was necessary to send
small boats back to the shore more
than once to take in labourers who had
rushed from the more distant parts of the estate
at the sound of her whistle. At Mr. Daxigx
WDONALD'A plantation the liberators were less
successful, as that cautious gentleman had sent off
into the woods about 90 of his slaves before they
could learn that deliverance was at hand; a few,

The Army and Navy Gazette states that hie Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge has referred back to the
Court of Inquiry upon the Burnaby scandal the report
which it bad laid before him in his capacity as colonel of
the Grenadier Guards. "We have already charades:sea
the report as incomplete and trvatiafactory, and his royr'
highness would appear to share thy view, from the fact of
his seeking frrther information upon this very delicate
subject."

Considerable progress has been made in the work

floating iron—was affixed to her sides yesterday, and the
mechanics have commenced bolting the armour plates to
her stern.

The policy constantly followed by my government in
concert with the Cortese for the last four years has procured
for the nation much increase of wealth, and led to internal
reform, besides gaining for the country the respect and con-
sideration of foreign nations. In continuing the system
already commenced of liberty, of tolerance, and of constitu-
tional administration ; in accustomiog various chases of
society to the exercise of righta which elevate their dignity,
and to labour, which is the stimulus to and which increases
wealth ; in inculcating upon all the principles of morality
and Christianity—we trust that we shall receive the blessing
of Heaven in support of our efforts. Public tranquillity, that
accompaniment of free sod laborious nations, will be comoli.

THE LATE DUEL IN PARIS.

" His success at Exeter Hall was not overwhelming, but it
was a suoopos ; and it was curious to see the interest with
which the good, pious women of the May meetings looked
up from their knitting or their provision bags to gaze at
the strange being, who] had been a play-actor, my dear,'
but was happily convey fed,' and so forth. Knowles was
an earnest man in his last as in his earlier vocations, but in
his seriousness he lost none of his old cheerfulness of spirit.
He did not become a retired monk, like Pellico and Gerald
Griffin, but was still a good man of the world while busiest
in showing the way to the next. He was a capital story-
teller, and a smoker of the good old school of men, who
seemed inspired by the pipes which rested on their lips."
Our composers (says the A theatre et) are be_

The scheme of the New Society of Painters in
Water Colours, in aid of the Lancashire Relief Fend, pro-
mises to be successful. About 15() artists have already un-
dertaken to give one or more picture" each ; these will be
exhibited in London, Manchester, and Liverpool, and at the
close of the displays be allotted among subscribers of one
guinea each. The date fixed for the receipt of pictured is
announced as the 9th and 10th inst., at the Gallery, 5,
Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, S.W. The whole of the receipts
of the exhibition and subscriptions received, less working
alone, will be devoted to the end named.

It is stated that more than half the clergy left
St. Paul's Cathedral on Tuesday before the bishop had got
through half his charge. " One who stayed" says :—"Far
be it from me to question the mode in which the London
clergy thus obese to exercise that right of private judg-
ment which the bishop emphatically claimed for clergy and
laity alike. Only, in common fairest' to your readers sad
our hearers, I think you should let the fact be known, to-
gether with the necessary inference to be drawn from it—
that the course which we adopt in reference to the bishop
is that which we wish our own congregations to adopt
In reference to ourselves. I weeder bow we should like it."

The theatrical company at Compibgne is very
numerous, and its members are as hospitably treated an
were at Versailles the comedians who performed Molihe'm
plays before Louis Quatorze. They all travelled from Paris
in a special train, consisting of first clue carriages, no mat-
ter whether they were scene shifters, stage carpenters,
mutes, or prompters. As they set out at about three in
the afternoon they reached their destination about four,
when a dinner, served on two tables, awaited them in en
immense dining-hall. Around one table were placed the
Etat major of the company, each as the director,
stage manager, actors, actresses, author or authors
of the pieces they were to act in the course of the evening,
and the principal members of the orchestra. Thu rest dined
at the second table. Bat all were given the same dishes, the
same wines, and served with equally fine linen, porcelain,
and silver, as well as provided with the same number of
attendants. Cigars and coffee were handed round after the
cloth was removed in two sextons, where, after they had
dined, the two sets retired for half an hour, at the end of
which they proceeded aloes a seemingly interminable pas-
sage to the theatre, where the play appointed for the same
evening was rehearsed till half-past 7. At half-past 8 the
Emperor and Empress made their appearance, which was
the signal for the performance to commence. When it was
finished the theatrical company were again conducted to
the tatted manger in which they dined, where a champagne
tapper awaited them.
The Debate of yesterday contains a long letter
from the skilful pen of X Prevost Paradol, in which the
writer draws a comparison between the administration of
justice in England and France highly favourable to the
former country. The defects in the French system call
loudly, he says, for reform.
A very remarkable talking automaton is exciting

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TURKISR POSTAL SYNTEX.
—Critics of minor calibre will perhaps hardly believe (says
the Levant Herald) that the modern English invention of
money-orders has already been introduced into the Turkish
establishment ; and that you may now send 100 piastres or
10,000 piastres to Damascus or Bagdad, or any of the chief
provincial offices, in that form as readily as the equivalent
stuns may be similarly remitted from London to Dublin or
Aberdeen. The still later convenience of postage-stamps
will also be in operation before the end of the present year
—specimen sheets having been already printed. and •
mechanical difficulty alone delays the issue of the labels for
I use throughout the empire.

The Temps points to the largo sums contributed
in England, showing how immeasurably greater has been
the spirit of charity displayed in that country than in
Futons. "It is ceslain that we remain tar behind the
English, who generally give ea many pounds sterling as we
give francs. We now learn that Lord Derby has for the
second time subscribed in his own name a sum of 125,000 fr.
for the Lancashire workmen. It is true that England has
colossal fortunes such as do not exist in France, but the
same total ought to be furnished by us by a greater num-
ber of subscriptions, smaller in amount and more conform-
able to oar democratic society. But, since enough cannot
be done, is that ► reason for doing nothing? Since private
initiative is sluggish, ought it not to be stimulated ?"
SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. Yesterday
was the last day, in accordance with the rides of the Smith-
field Cattle Club, for the reception of the cattle and other
live stock intended for the show at the Agricultural Hall,
Islington, and by eight o'clock last evening, although twelve
• (midnight) was the latest hour fixed, almost all the 'peel-
-1 mans entered had arrived and were placed in their allotted
stations in the show-yard. The Herons and Herefords are
, in full force, whilst there is a considerable increase in the
abort-homed and other classes, the substitution of silver
cups for medals and the increase of money prizes given by
the club, amounting in the aggregate to just 2,0001., in
addition to the novelty of the new and spacious building,
cootributing mainly to such result. The classes are so
arranged that they will be able to be gone through consecu-
tively from first to last, although amounting to fifty in
number, without that former " dodging " about requisite to
find out any particular class or animal ; and whilst the sheep
are arranged in their pens forming aide avenues to the
central area, the porkers are indulged with au area 100 feet
square, known as the Union Hall, to themselves. Amongst
the arrivals yesterday were several of the very beautiful
animals which have obtained the principal prizes at the Bir-
mingham show, and others considered of equal merit from
various parts of the oonntry which have yet been ex-
hibited at any show. The judges will commence their ex-
amination for the purpose of making their awards of the
prises this day about 9 o'clock. In the evening the private
view will take place. The Duchess of Cambridge and the
Princess Mary are expected to arrive oboist 2 o'clock this
afternoon. The Prince of Wales, it is said, will arrive at
the building at about 3 o'clock.
