This gentleman said that if they could only pt the ladies
to
that they would statain from shopping on.
y afternoon the thing was done. He therefore
requested vselotu commanding corps to make au
appeal to the ladiesgentlemen on that point, and this led to the letters
from Lord Grosvenor and himself which produced the
communication from Alfred Le Mesmer. The result wag
that the Times of that morning contained the names of
73 ladies, who expressed their readiness to assist the aro.
elation in every way they could. Many of them had per.
=Med the publication of their names, whilst others who
did not wish to see their names in print promised that they
would abstain from shopping on Saturday afternoon. Than
was one point more to which he must invite their attention.
viz., the question of £ s. d.; and here be would allude to
the fact that notwithstanding the
which Lord Shafteebury's Ten Roarsmut3ill°PreiseivPagit"..ed
in 11342-44 from Sir Jamul Graham, then Home Secretary.
it was ultimately found that that memore, so far front
causing a loss to the employers, was greatly beneficial to
both masters and workmen. In confirmation of this he held
in hie hand letters from several huge firms slating that they
did not consider that their pecuniary interests had suffered
in consequence of the shortening of the hours of labour,
The principle of allowing Saturday half holidays was an
established fact in Sod, and it was right that they
should make every effort to bring about the same state of
things in England. (Hear.)
Letters were then read from the Bishops of London and
Oxford, expressing their regret that they were prevented
from being present, but avowing their interest in the objects
of the association. _ _ .

The EarlofillA PTIMIIVEY moved the first resolution--
" That this meeting view* with much satisfaction the pro.

was as ealeinally complkated one, and he felt • difficulty

of the estimate is about 643,000/. The street
is very mho& and very little return would
be given for the outlay. A roadway over the new low level

taken along the side of thene. mai without interfering with

thought that he and his coadjutors were entitled to the
gratitude of the nation for the manner in which they had
promoted the establishment of the volunteer rifle corps. It
was a fallacy to suppose that the time allowed them by the

rooms, tn., had been found successful, and there could be
no doubt that if they gave the men a good amount of drill
they would be so tired by seven o'clock that they would not
be disposed to go lo any place of amusement afterwards.
He trusted that this volunteer movement would become one
of the institutions of the country. (Hear, hear.) Peace
and repose were unfortunately gone from the earth, and
therefore it behoved all dames to be on their guard spinet
any consequencesthatmightenne. They moughtnotto invade
other people's rights, but manfully and reverentially to main.
tain their own ; and to what other source could they look
for the accomplishment of so patriotic an object than to the
energy and courage of the youth of this country The noble
earl concluded an eloquent speech amid loud cheering
Mr. Arnica Mims, M.P., seconded, and the Rev. J. M.
Reuse supported the resolution, which was unanimously
agreed to. •
Earl GROSVINOR proposed the second resolution
"That while generally approving of the objects of the Early
Closing Association, this meeting is deeply_impresmod witk
the peculiar importance of the Saturday half-holiday, as an
auxiliary to the Volunteer Rifle Corps movement. His
lordship stated that in his company of volunteers these
were sixty printen who were materially as by large
firms, and he already found that many of our principal
rend establishments expressed their sympathy with the
cause they were now advocating.
Lord Rasurrocs seconded the :notation, which we/
agreed to.
The following resolution was also carried :—" That this
meeting, belie nng a willingness exists on the part of many
of the principal retell firms at the west-end of London to &dope
some earlier hour of doting on Saturdays, desires to ender
every possible facility for that purpose, and pledgee itself
not to make purchases at so advanced an houron the Satur.
day as may interfere with such an arrangement."
Mr. JAY, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman,'
bore his strong testimony to the importance and entire
practicability of the halt-holiday movement. As an ero•
ployer, having a business establishment in Ravin
he was quite sure the shops might terminate busiteree.
three o'clock on Saturdays without any detriment to the in.
terests of the employers.
Mr. W. Loco seconded the rote of thank, to the noble
chairman.
Mr. Desrsm. said the responsibility of the success of this
movement did not rest solely with the ladies: Let the an.
ployen close their establishments at 2 o'clock on the Saint.
day, and the result would be certain. He should call e
. his friends and neighbours to begin at once.

a source of great inconvenience, and would be removed in
the event of an embankment being carnal out. The jade.
diction of the board only extends to the banks of the
Thames. The jurisdiction in the bed of the river is exec.
coed by the conservators. The attention of the beard has
bees directed to the desirability of constructing the low
level sewer along the foreshore of the river, and the question
was referred to a committee, who communicated with the
Thames Conservancy Board, who approve of the
for embanking the Thames., and state that they Wrautires
proper time consider whether the value of the reclaimed
laud might not be applied to the cost of the improvement.
For the main drainage scheme they raised annually
150,535/. 13s. 9d., and for the ordinary current expenses of
the board 132,0871. 18s. 4d. The term provided by the act
for levying the main drainage rate is 40 years, but we think
it will not be necessary for more than thirty years.
The Chairman—Would your board undertake such a work
ea the embankment of the Thames without any other re-
Karoo for defraying the cost than you have at the present
moment?

Lord H. VANE entertained gram doubts whether it was
possible to Ram so complicated a bill in the nouns et the
present maim, but he did not intend to give s vote white
would throw any obstacles in the way of the goveriument
dealing with the question. The 13n:rotary for the Home
Department had told them that he was sot the parent ei
the bill, but that it was based upon the reeoltitiom of two
ciemmittees ; but notwithstanding that, be desiCed whether
the right hon. gentleman had acted wisely in embraciag so
may points in one bill. It was a serious, crossilua whether
the Ecclesiastical Commissioners had used the powers now
it Hair bands so Mealy as to render it desirable that they
shad& be ._tasted with more. At the same time he
thought* essential that some legislation should take place
wpm the subject, and he should not therefore oppose the
issued reeding of the bill.
Lord 3. MANNEll:i,:iirrailif the bill, mid he did
se mike ground of the principle it involved. The
main hence, of the was that the powers d the Eccle-
*Meal pem.insioners ought sot to be limited, but that

Mr. iivraites—Certainly not. Something ought to be :
contributed out of the consolidated fund. The cost of eon-
be 'eking both sides of the Thames has been estimated at
I 0001. and if the Board of Works contributed
23,111 , the Consolidated Fund 60,0001., and the Hackney
Carriage Tax 80,000 t. per annum, the wings cost would be
defrayed in P 2 years.
Mr. Cowper—Are you prepared to give the committee
any details as to the manner in which the proposed sewer is
likely to affect St. Paul's'
Mr. Thwaites—The sewer will be some distance from St.
Paul's. It was not proposed to take it through St. Peas-
chnrehyard, but' 200 or 300 feet to the south. The com-
plaints of the inadequate accommodation for the traffic
were now so weak that it was stbscdutely nemeary to
forma new rued, either from Cheapside to the west, or don
the foreshore of the river.
Mr. Cowper inquired where the funds were to come from
for oonstructmgthe new street?
Mr. Thwaites thought it fair to assume that it would be
paid out of the metropolitan rates, and he hail sug-
gested that • portion of the funds should come out of the
noel dues. The Board of Works had, however, to levy rates
for the construction of new streets, but he thought the local
board of management would not be able to raise • rate for
this purpose, on account of the extremely heavy taxation
of the metropolis. The amount of taxation necessary to
provide funds for the embankment of the Thames would
be
greater than the people would endure, and there
would soon be a rebellion on the part of the ratepayers
against the rates. At present several of the metropolitan
wore taxed to the extent of 7a. W. in the pound,
and they were in one case 14i. 6d. is the pound this very
year.
By Lord R. Mont•ge— The fororuinn of an embankment
on the sides of the river would get rid of the, ple•aut
bank, and greatly increase the scour. The street which
the Board of Works contemplated in order to relieve the
traffic of the metropolis would cost 640,000/., towards
which the government contribute 90,0001. and the Duke of
Bedford 15,0001. The rest would be defrayed by the
ratepayers out of the rates. In Paris there was a tax on
carriages to defray the cost of improvements. The two
great advantages to be derived from the proposed embank-
meet would be, fret a better line for the lower level sewer,
sad also a means for relievvrng the traffic. It would be im-
material whether the embankment were solid or canted on
arches, provided the sewers were properly protected..
Mr. Walter—Have von any means of ascertaining the
amount of traffic which now passes from C'hiwing.croas to
Oannoa-street
Mr. Thwaites—We have taken no steps to ascertain, but
there is no doubt that it is enormous It is altogether in.
compatible with the comfort of the inhabitants, and as the
existing thoroughfares molds me Magmata accommodation

they ought to be greatly extended ; that the-7commission
eboald be rendered petpetyal, and that ultimately
the whole reawagement of eburch property should be vested
is an all but irresponsible body riding in London. He
denied that the Ecclesiastical Commission wee worthy of the
trust which would be reposed in it by the bill, and
smarted that the aczounta of the commissioners were
in a most unintelligible and discreditable state. Ha
thought the house ought not to be called upon
to sanction the provisions of a bill of so objectionable a
character ; and unless he heard much more favourable
arguments in its favour than those which had been brought
forward by the Home Secretary, he should feel it his duty
to vote in favour of the amendment.

Mr. LNIGHAM believed that if the house rejected the bill
they would reject the opportunity of effecting a great public
good. This was the fourth bill ernee 1851 which had dealt
with the subject, and he thought the time had now arrived
for legislation, in order that further sedation might be run- I
derail un
Mr. HOn7la supported the bill, but intimated that is
committee he should propose a claim for the augmentation
of small livings.
Mr. NEWDEGATE said the bill was one which no mem-
ber of the home thoroughly approved, but as it was deemed
necessary that something should be done hon. members
seemed prepared to say—"Do something; matter who*
it is you do." He protested against the adoption of such a
principle, and eapreased an opinion that the bishops and
' deans and chapters would be greatly impeded in the perform.
mice of their duties if they were converted into stipendiaries
of the state. .

LWI)ELL said he wee sorry be could not give his
to the amendment. Session after session a bill
to this bill had been brought in, but no legis-
lation had been accomplished, and considering the great
Interests at stake be thought that they ought to proceed
with thin bill.

Mr. DEED maid he had. thht it incumbent cm him,
sea member of the eockmaig commission, to wait to
hear the opinion that might be expressed in debate before
be stated his own opinion. He he& no right to oomplain,
nor did he complain of the observations that had been made
by different speakers on the conduct& the consinkrfonere.
They could not expect to give satidaction to all. His
anxious desire had bum to awry out the law as he believed
it to min. This wee a bill based on the recommendation
- - -

of different ovmesittees. He believed them was no ma
Leriel alteration. It was in consequeem of the uncertainty
of the law that they were in some sort consenting patios
to the introduction of this bill. His honourable friend
(Mr. Liddell) said there was. local claims in
his neighbourhood which the coromiasioners had
not allowed, because of a rule that they bad laid down. In
making the rate they had been induenced by a desire to
do the greatest general good with the funds at their ilia-
' posed. His hon. friend asked why they carried out of Dui.
so large an amount of fends without meeting the keel
dais'. The answer was, that if they answered all them
local dameede them would be just as much the lees to meet
demands elsewhere. With regard to grants to meet local
bendaelents, a imennittee somedered every case. This year
they bed a mph' of 80,0001. to meet the wishes of bona
facton mereimes gam thanditOMX. If they oould make pante
when these weresobenehotioes, behadno objection, and he
thoeight the time bed come when such pacts might be made.

petty, but to hand ft beck as soon as nought°. He depre.
sated as much ae possible the optimisers having to merge
a property so leap that it was impossible for them to
manage it well. He was rather inclined to think that if
the ommiadon had accepted the prepositima of we or two
chapters, they should not have had the oppoeitima al the
bon-. and lesnied gentleman, Mr. Selwyn. B. thought the
propositions of the hon. and learned gentleman 00011 soi be
carried out. It bed been said that the subordinate
Akers of the commiacion managed everything. While
he acknowledged the services of these persons,
who weee well acquainted with the easiness before
the ecauniseice, be mainly repudiated the notion that he
and the other commesiecen did not superintend the whole
of the transactions, and were not reeporibk. He admitted
that there had been a lime from the sale and exchange of
lands, but care had been taken, and would be taken, to pre-
vent of such looses.

to the beet means of rendering them available for the pro-
motion of science and art, met onTuesday, Mr. Gregory

Mr. Ayrtom, Mr. Knight, Lord Blcho, Mr. rZcepi,
Mr. Lowe, sad Mr. Stirling. Mr. Panisri, the
principal Lftariaa to the Museum, was the first
shams examaised. He stated that since the year
1848 various plans for incesselag the accommodation had
base comidsred. Is every department, except those for
beau and NM., there was a want of space. At peasnt
there was, according to the calculations which had bear
mode, space for 800,000 volumes, bat he believed roomeould
be found for 1,000,000 rebuses, and that the room would be
mdlicient for about 50 years, wording to the number of
volumes at present annually reosived. The only mode of
providing additional space for the various oollections was
by economising the existing aoooramodatioo, diminiahlag the
number of articles, purchasing land ountimione to the
Museum, or removing smear the cullectime aisewhics. In
many cam the objects were too mach crowded together,
mixed up almost isdacrimenately, sod diMoult of access.
Mr. Naomi then entered into a variety of details relative to
the various departments, for the purpose of showing the
impossibility of providing sufficient accommodation in the
