METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS.

The aerial weekly meeting was held yesterday at
aprinsisrdsos ; Mr. W. L. TAYLOR in the &sir.

Tali DTA= OP LOID PLLlMitum.
The 011•11ULAN said that as the board wished to evince
their deep regret at the death of Lord Mineralog, they
would only transact the bushiest which required immediate
attention. They had prepared a resolution expressive of
their noose at the irreparable loos the country had sustained
in the demise of the deceased noblemen, and he we can
the naaaissity which would attend its adoption would
remit, not only from the reoestsitiou of • national calamtly,
but from the kiedoses and ecerterry which the late
Premier %variably displayed in dealing with the noises at
the board. (Hear, bear.)
Mr. TEA, lL P., moved the following resolution :
"That this board feels Galled upon to record its mese of
the great loss this couotry has sustained in the death at
its Premier, the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston—a mac
wbo thrh a leog life decollate the service of the coun-
try has mainudoed the honour of Greet Britain, he prospe-
rity, sad its institutions ; that during hie adonnistratioo
the country has keen sciceresl ocettiaotel through pest
difilotffties end the blessings of pews secured to the
natios ; that • copy of the resolution be transmitted to
Lady Palmerston, with the respectful smnranoe of the
tioudolence of this board and their deep sym-
pathy in the peat 101 l she Ina sustained.' While
eschewing all reference to the politico of Lord Palmerston,
be would say that every Englishmen—no matter whether
he eoincided with or differed from the political conies the
Premier had panned—felt that the honour of England was
always perfectly safe in his handle. (Hear, hear.) He wee
• hied, generous, and useful men, and it wan to be re-
grethd that he bad bees taken away rather suddenly.
(Hear, hear.) The board had always experienced the
greetest mastery from Lord Palmerston, and he wax sure
the resolution which he had proposed expressed the feelings
of the members present, as -wed as of those who were not
iolattendence. (Hear, beer.)
Mr. MILLIS, lt.P., slloided the resolution. As a mem-
ber of the opposition be wished to bear his Medially to
the unblemished integrity, the patriotic motives, mad the
courteous bearing of the late Premier. He had never
known Lard Palmerston to display anything like a selfish
motive. For fiftysix years Lord Palmerton had beet a
member of the British House of Comatose, and during
fifty-ono years of that period he occupied • position of
official importers.. In all his career he had acted in the
most unselfish maser, and no one of the many who alt.
fared from him could for • moonlit attempt to repudiate
the assertion. In the House of Commons he had ohms
pahlmtleotios to the interests of the board, and to him he
existence was in • great measure due.
The resolution was put and carried teem con., and it
wee resolved that it be inserted in the morning papers.
