GOLDEN LANE RAIMED SCHOOLS.—The annual
meeting of the friends of these schools was held lad evening
in the theatre of the Young Men's Christian Association,
Aldersgate-street; the Bight Hon. the Los Mayor in the
chair. The report stated that the committee had been
enabled to extend their operations to the opening of a Sun.
day school and free circulating library. The attendance of
siseolars was variable, but on the whole good, and some of
the boys had been so far elevated that two or three became
teachers in the school. The report then alluded to the
gratifying results of are-union lately held of the old scholars
of the school, when nearly MO attended. The finances of
the school were not in a flourishing condition, the debt of
the committee being now about 441., which they trusted
would be speedily paid off. Twenty-six of their scholars—
ten girls and sixteen boys—hail this year become entitled to
prizes to the amount of 12/. ria. from the Ragged School
Union. Mr. Sheriff Leek moved the adoption of the report,
and mentioned two cheering facts in connection with this
movement. In 1855 the number of juvenile criminals in
the Holloway prison was 155, while in PP) they only
amounted to lrA) -a decrease of more than 50 per cent. la
Glasgow the number of juvenile criminals in 1856 was 382;
in 1860, but 121. He did not mean to assert that this de-
crease was wholy effected by ragged schools, but he con-
tended they were a principal ingredient in that decrease. The
Bey. John Christian secueded the motile, which was carried
unanimously. The prizes alloded to is the report were that
distributed to the children, who presented a eery creditable
appearance. A collection was then made, including Si. from
the chairman, after which a vote of thanks to his lordship
brought the proceedings to a close.
THE HAVELOCK STATCE IN TRAFALGAR-DOI:TARE.—
Yesterday the pedestal on which stands the statue lately
erected to the memory of General Sir Henry Havelock,
which has been for some days past covered for the purie
of receiving the inscription, was partially uncovered. The
inscription, whiel, is done in a bold black letter, and with-
oat any ornamentation, rune as follows :—" To Major-
General Havelock, K.C.8., nod lain brave companinos in
arms during the campaign in India, 1857. Soldin 3, Your
labours, your privations, your sufferings, and yonr valour,
will not be forgotten by a grateful country.'—H. Havelock.
Erected by public subscription, Mil." At present there is
nothing inscribed on the back of the pedestal.
STEAK SHICINNO.—A better fettling has prevailed
in the steam shipping interest during the past month, in
sympathy with the improved condition of the money
market, although some want of confidence has been appa-
rent in consequence of the unsettled state of Continental
affairs. Inquiry still continues for new and second-Band
steamers ; yet there are not many vessels changing owners,
as purchasers deliberate in expectation. A fair amount
business might be (lobe in small anal metlinm-sizoil steamer,'
but there is no inquiry for those of large tonnage, several
of which remain on hind. Many of our builders are looking
oat for work ; yet some order. have recently been revived
from foreign powers. New steam shipping projects are said
Saba in organhaticei ; and which, if successful, will add
to existing building contracts. Time charters have been
concluded at good rates for first class strainers ; soil mode-
rate•ixed vessel,' for single voyages from the Baltic have
obtained fair rates ; but the amount of tonnage regularly
employed, and the decline of quotations in the corn market
have caused lower rates to be acceded to. Black Sea and
Mediterraneen home freights continued lower,. and outward
cargoes to all ports are scarce. We look, therefore, at
April as having been a month of trao.ition, with the anti-
mat of approaching impmvementa —(From the Circular
Alfred Brett and Co.)

THAMES EMBANKMENT COMMISSION.

Yesterday the comminsioners appointed by the
crown to inquire into sod take evidence on this important
subject, met for the first time at the offices of the commis-
don, No. 2, Victoria-street, Weetraineter. The commis-
sioners were the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, chairman ;
Sir Joshua Jobb, Captain Gaits., R.F.., of the Railway
Department of the Board of Trade ; Captain Barstal, R.N.,
of the Thames Conservascy ; Mr. J. Thwaites, chairman of
the Metropolitan Board of Works; Mr. H. A. Hunt, and
Mr. J. R. M`Leaa ; Mr. Henry Kingscote, bon. secretary.
There were several City, scientific, and other gentlemen
interested in the inquiry, present. A short time ago, it will
be remembered, the conernationers on their appointment
issued invitations to the public for the sending in of plans
and estimates for the embankment and improvement of the
Thames, sad the limb has been that up to this period not
fewer then 50 projests for that purpose have been sub-
mitted to the oonieniasioners, end it ei upon these, or on
the most important of than, that they now propose to
hear statements and take evidence, the instructions under
which they are constituted declaring that it is expedient
to provide, with the greatest efficiency, fur the relief of the
most crowded drools by the establishment of a new and
spacious thofoughfare, for the improvemeet of the naviga-
tion of the river, which will afford the opportunity of teal&g
the low level sewer without disturbing the Strand or Fleet-
street, with the cost and moms of carrying the work into
execution. There were medals delineating the waterway
of the Thames upon the table, and etch of the Ileitigus dealt
with yesterday were illustrated by huge descriptive drawings.
The first use considered was that of the Thames Embank-
ment and Railway Company, who were represented by
Messes. Baxter, Rose Norton, end Spofforth, and the en-
gineers, Messes. Fowler, Fulton, and Hermes.
Mr. Baxter informed the COMloll4looele that it was pro-
posed to construct an embankment, protected by a river
wall, from Westminster to illackfriara Bridge, carrying a
road or street 80 feet in width, commencing at Westniinster
Bridge and joining, a little beyond Blackfriara Bridge, the
intended extension of Cannon-street to Bridge-street, Black-
Irian, and a railway with suitable stations at the bridges,
running nearly parallel with the roadway, and joining the
Loodoo, Chatham, and Dover Railway in Bridge-street,
Blackf Aare, by its connexion with which and the Metropolitan
Railway with the Great Western and Great Northern Rail-
ways between Westminster and the City at the Finsbury-
t: immediately behind the Bank, and to theentire 'ye-
j4
the London, Chatham, sod Dover liailway to Kent
and to the Continent. The qusutity of laud proposed to be
reclaimed from the river would lie about 45f acres, and
docks would be constructed within the embankment cover-
ing 71 acres, leaving 42 acres, which it is proposed to red
in the Commisaionen of Woods and Forests, in return for
their payment (out of funds to be placed in their hands by
parliament) of the oonipensatien consequent ou the con-
struction of the embankment. It was proposed to
construct the low level sewer within this embankment.
At present the low level sewer of the main drainage system
' was to be carried along the Strand and Fleet-street, men-
vsting the present overcrowding of them thoroughfares,
stopping the bands, increasing the cost to the ratepayers,
and endangering the houses. It was calculated, moreover,
that the curupeneation payable along the Strand, Fleet-
street, and Ludgate-hill would be several hundred thousand
pounds, and that the constriction of the sewer would min
nine-tenths of the tradespeople along its route. The total
estimated cost (exclusive of compensation put at 200,0001.)
for the railway, road, and embankment, was 700,00 W. To-
wards this amount it was proposed that the Metropolitan
Board of Works should contribute, in respect of the site
for the sewer, 150,000 f., that the oriel duty flied should
defray all compensation, and distribute 250,000 f. for the
construction of the new road. . . _

Mr. Hemana, the engineer, having been exandoed at
,some length on the engineering details, the commissioners
reeeeded to inquire into the merits of four other plans,
having a similar object to the preceding : by Mr. 11. W.
Shields, of Parliament-street, for en embankment without
a milwny, at aeost of 250,000 f. ; by Mr. H. W. Bich, by
Hr. H. H. Newton, and Mr. A. M. World, for au em-
bankment with sewer, at a east of avow. ; and the
conniissioners, having intimated that aftor having duly
considered the plans before them, they would hear the
wharfiegers and owners of property along the route of the
river to be affected by the proposed embankment, adjourned
at 4 o'clock.
