The board next proceeded further to consider the report
from the engineer, submitting for approval, *wand epee'.
&Aliens of the southern outfall sewer front Deptford Creek
to Crossness Point, and recommending that advertisements
be issued for tenders for the execution of the works.
Mr. CAIIPMAHL moved and Mr. CRZLLIN seconded •
motion, that advertisements be lamed es euggested.
E Mr. cgarr oonsidered It would be deeireblc to divide this
work into different portions, so ma to facilitate it§ execution,
and at WM WIN time be done more economically. If a work
of 300,0001. was to be taken in band the lumber of competi-
tors tenet mamas:fly be very limited, wherries if the work
was cut op into sections • very peat number of *Deventer*
might be found for it.
The geotenta, in answer to questions, said it was his
opinion that the work should be executed in one contract, for
if it were divided It would be neceseary to make additional
erotica for awry* elf the water, which he did not at present
sceMenplals.
Aftst sour disamils, the amendment was negatived bY
'majority MIS to 9.
Mr. WIPIIANCHUIthen moved another amendment—° That
the subject be referred to the Mein Drainage Committee to
itoosider whether It would be clearable to divide the works
into two or three separate sections."
Mr. Banal= seconded the amendment, sad mid he be-
lieved the Main Drainage Committee would be the best body
to which this question should be referred.
Ths anwednient was negatived by a majority of 93 to 11.
The original motion was then pat and agreed to, the tan.
dews to be vssalwed on the dth of aaway.

ST. OZOROE'S•IN-TIIE-EAST. A correspondent
informs us that the announcement made on Sands, morning
. - • . . . . .

last by the Bev. Bryan King, respecting the future adminirr-
!lee TArees r„,!,,,,^,e in gait church, has been erro-
neously represented to the public, and Wet the celebration will
still take place on Sundays, bat surly in the tetoZaleleteeteaff
of at the midday servioe. In the Unites of last Veit we
read that "the Holy Sacrifice will still be offered up Olt
Sundays at eight o'clock as tonal, and that the only changed
is the discontinuance of the mid-day celebration for reasons
which no one who is not wilfully blind can fail to appreciate."
We have no peculiar mesas of knowing what them reasons
which an so obvious may be, but it is well known that many
clergymen of Mr. King's school are striving to °Geese the
Eucharistic service to an early; morning service, so as to
carry out their notion that cosentnaimints should receive the
elements fasting.
Tug NATIONAL GALLERY OF SCOTLAND.— The
National Gallery closed on the Use ult., the month of
November being *seaport by appointment for cleaning the
gallery and re-arranging the pictures. The success of the
reason, which has been confined to only ,even months, as
the gallery did not open till the 22nd March, has altogether
thoesdad the most sanguine expectation. In that short
period it has been visited by 79,612 persons, 4,784 catelognes
have been sold, and 63 studeete haws availed the:naives of the
privilege ol copyieg from the collection. For the benefit of the
working classes the gallery has been opened every Saturday
evening,when it is lighted with gas, sad presents a very
brilliant appearance. The attendance et the• working
classes on these occanone has bees considerable ; latterly as
many as 600 sightly. It was gratifying to witness the per-
fect order that prevailed amongst therm Even although
the rooms at time. were crowdod, an tea:Mint or injury of
any kind has occurred to any part of the collection. Since
the opening of the gallery in March, sight oil 'paintings,
several of them of great vale., and nine drawings, have been
added to the collection ; these are chiefly donations or be-
quests. It will be re-opened on let December, be which
tune the collection will be increased by other interesting end
valuable donations.—deohmon.
REPRESENTATION OF NOltwlCii.—On the MSS-
mumbling of parliament steps will be taken with all portable
despatch to determine whether Lord Bury can take his rest
for Norwich in respect of hie election is July last, the noble
lord having been declared to have committed briefer), through
hi. agents in the previous April. The courervatithe contend
that it will only be necessary to tender efficiel evidence of the
decision at which the election committee arrived is July, and
that their candidate will then be declared duly shard,
Matters are, however, is an extreordiusry state of confusion,
and the liberals will no doubt endeavour toestablish a counter
theme of bribery sonnet their opponents.
SMALL-PDX IN THE METROPOLlB.—Yeaterday, at

poor of St. Marylebone, held at the workboure, Msrylebons-

pox et the metropolis was the enej.-ot of demesnes, and a re-
port drawn up by Dr. Buchhoffner was prpeewwted from a com-
mittee appointed In reference to vsalesteem. It showed a
great discrepancy between the somber of births is the pariah

vaccine stances, instead of the present private house ayslem
of vaathation, sad was ordered to be printed for further car
