MARINE COMMITTEE

, The proceedings of this committee drew 'attention to th
usual annual excursion of the members down the river; as
fixed the day for the 9th_ proximo.

Mr..BouLr said it had- been stated- that this excursion
cost P,OOO or £4,000 a-year: .He believed this was a, gross
mc.cration; but he would ask the chairman of the Marine
eCxoaitimi6 ttee what it really did cost ?

The- CHAIRMAN said the usual course was to• leave the
matter to the Marine Committee:
Mr. SMITE{ said there was an excursion on the river a few
days ago, when the members of the board were invited by
the Harbour Masters, and only three members attended.
If no more interest was taken in these excursions, he did
not see the use of continuing their annual excursion.
The OnAinmAN said, he and several of the members were
in London on business, and were prevented from joining
the excursion, as ' they had intended.
Mr. BOLD said he understood that several gentlemen
enjoyed themselves very much at the ,xcursion'the other
day. - - • - .

..,,, p...-eu, in order that the opinion of the board might be
expressed. It was the opin boar such an
erection would be a failure,althoughthey were bound by
act of parliament to construct it. , A dock might be erected
at a much smaller sum, and would not prove a failure.
Mr. SMITR seconded the motion for the purpose of having
the matter discussed. He thought there was a great deal of
truth in what Mr. Boult stated. That they would obtain a
dcep-water entrance was at this moment a matter of opinion.
It was the opinion of their engineer that they would not get
it. He considered the deep-water entrance would be a
failure.

in which the chairman'stated that the board had no idea of

ference to the works at )3irkenhead, and he thought no steps
should be taken by them to -have the plan altered. If it
was at all, desirable that an alteration should be made, that
board should not be,the first to ino:ve:ii it, lest it would be
thought that they wanted to get.rid of their liability.
Mr. BOULT, finding that the sense of the board was against
his motion, consented to withdraw it.
This concluded the business.-

course of erection in the Holloway-road, and dedicated to.
St. Luke, will be consecrated by the Bishop of London in
October. Many circumstances have combined to delay the
completion of the building, the principal one being the
accession of the gentleman who was in the first instance
appointed the minister of the district--namely, the Rev.
Henry Hampton, 'who has established a 'Free Church of
England on the other side of' the road, and who has suc-
ceeded in drawing away a larrse number of the former con-
gregation of St. Luke's. The Rev. G. A. 'Roger formerly
minister of Regent-square 'Chapel, St. Pancras, will be the
minister of the'new church, which has an ecelesias'ical dis-
trict assigned to it out of the district parish of St. James's,
