METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

A meeting of the Board wan held yesterday at
Guildhall, when amongst otter basilica, Mr. Corrie pre-
sented a memorial from Meier*. Thomas Jackson and
George Thorotoe, on the subject of the drainage of London
on the north side of the Thames, with plans and section,
and estimate, for executing the aneseary works. The plan
preened was to construct • lug* tunnel sewer, commencing
at Kensington Canal, passing parallel with the banks of the
Thames, and dinginess, itself by pumping into a reservoir
at Galleon Reach, at Woolwich, • at an estimated coat of
2,200,0001. The reservoir would be raised 12 feet above high
water meek ; and immediately the tide wee at high water, it
was proposed to open the flood gates, by whin mesas, when
the tide was at baU ebb, the reservoir would be empty.
The board then took into coasideration the second part
of their engineer's scheme for the main drainage end sewage
intereeption of the &striate north of the Tbiunes. It was
observed that the plan for the southern side had been, in
the first instance, referred to a committee, which had not
Men done is the present ease.
Mr. Baseigette, the engineer, was asked whether, before
preparing his scheme, he looked at the set of psrlisment
which required that the point of discharge should not be
neer tha metropolis. He replied that he had ; and although
he did think that some question might seise oa that point,
yet, as the plies he selected was the net in an esgineerieg
point of view, he thought that any technical difficulty in
that respect might he got over, He stated that a piece of
land opposite Pluestead wee considered to be in the metro-
polis, in the same way that a portion of Kent on the south
side of the Themes .as supposed to be so; but a pivtion of
the stream west of Barking was out of the metropolis, and
the eppoiite side of Barking-creek was under the jurisdic-
tion of the commtitionen of sewers ice the county of Ben..
In the interview with the Chief Comminioner, Sir B.
Hall did not esprese an op4ion. He did not intimate
there would be any difficulty. The question being mooted,
he did mot deem it fatal to his scheme. The engineer then
went into an explanation of different ports of his scheme by
referees to a map, showing that he had made an allowance
for the reception of a sadden rain-fall in addition to the
interception of the (refinery sewn'.
Hr. Caarmear. moved, and Mr. Fsw seconded, " That
the report of the engineer, In so far as relates to the upper
level and middle level sewers, and their breaches north of
the Theme, be adopted."
Mr. Howe moved as as amendment, "That before pro-
ceeding further with the engineer's scheme, the plea for
the drainage of north side of the Themes, submitted
to the board by Mgr. Tbomse Jackson and Mr. George
Thornton, and proposed to be carried out by them, sneer
the superintendenceof the engineer, he submitted t some
eminent acid impartial engineer to examine and report epos
the same to this board."

Mr. DENNIS seconded the amendment.
After several asemben had spoken on either side, the
Chairman put the unesdmeot, but only three hands wen
held up In its favour. Mr. Savage proposed an amend-
ment as to the °solidi, bat the Chairman said that was not
inch an anindnent ms Gould be put, as the oath& was
not now under combination.
Several motions for adjournment were put and negatived.
A long and irregular discussion ensued, bat eveatttally
as debate was adjourned until llsuraday neat.
The board broke up at five o'clock.
