OF WORKS.

Yesterday, at a vestry meeting of St. James, West-
minster, the subject of the disputed election for this
district to the Metropolitan Board of Works came on
for discussion. On a motion for the confirmation of the
minutes of the previous vestry meeting, held on the 12th
inst.
Mr.i DUFF said he did not find upon the minutes, as
read, any mention of a protest he had made against the
return of Sir J. V. Shelley, upon the ground that the
number of voting papers, including ono picked up from
the floor, agreed exactly with the number of gentlemen
present at the vestry. One of them had admitted the
paper to bear his writing, and it therefore ought to have
been admitted in Mr. Geeson'pi favour. He moved,
therefore, that that portion of the minutes which de-
clared Sir J. Shelley to be elected, should not be con-
firmed ; a motion which he believed he had a perfect
right to make,
the old act, the new act not coming into force until
as they were still under the operations of
January 1.
The motion having been seconded,
The CHAIRMAN said the reason why Mr. Duff's pro-
test had not been entered upon the minutes was, be-
cause it had not been handed up in writing.
Mr. TAYLOR thought the protest legal, although not
put into writing.
After some further conversation,
The CHAIRMAN decided not to put the motion, and
aided that therefore no question was before the meet-
ing, and he then formally signed the minutes, and the
natter ended,

THE CHIEF BNGINEER AND MR. F. 0. WARD.

The Secretary presented the usual list of sums re-
commended for payment, and the sum of 3/. ss. 4d. for
the short-hand writer's notes of the speech of Mr. Ward,
containing the charges against Mr. Bazalgette, the chief
engineer, being proposed for payment, Mr. Thwaites,
Sir John Shelley, and Dr. Sayer objected to paying for
a report of Mr. Ward's speech, chiefly on the ground that
Mr. Bazalgette had refused to furnish the court with a
copy of his answer to Mr. Ward, although he had given
a copy of it to the reporters of the daily papers. Mr.
C. Johnson hoped the objection would be waived. Mr.
Bazalgette said he had been called upon to answer a
great number of charges, which he could not do without
having a copy of them. He had only bad a fortnight
to prepare his defence to a long series of charges, and,
therefore, he had not had time to prepare a document in
such a manner as to make it fit to be a court document.
He would withdraw the claim for the amount. This, of
course, put an end to the discussion.
In answer to Sir John Shelley, the Secretary said the
expense of carrying a sewer from Whitehall to St.
James's-park, for the purpose of getting rid of the foul-
ness of the ornamental waters, would be defrayed by
the government.
After some routine orders had been made, the court
adjourned.

ST. PANCRAS BURIAL BOARD.

Yesterday, at a meeting of the parochial authorities of
St. Pancras—B. J. E. Wright, Big., in the chair—Mr.
Farrer, senior church warden, called the attention of the
board to a rumour that when a poor woman, named
Knight, went to the Fiuchley Cemetery to see her child
interred a few days age, there was no grave prepared
for it.

In reply to questions put to Mr. C. Greene, the clerk
to the burial board, that official stated that due notice
had been sent to Mr. Kiwiick, the superintendent of the
ground, to prepare the graves necessary.
The undertaker, upon being called before the board,
stated that upon the hearses arriving at the cemetery
with eight adults and six or seven children, there was
only one grave dug. The consequence was that the
poor woman Knight did not see her child buried. There
were several others left. on the ground until graves could
be du.• for them.

The Churchwarden (Farrer) said that such gross
neglect was very disgraceful. It was really heartrend-
ing ; here was a poor woman most anxious to pay the
last tribute of affection to a beloved child, and she was
prevented doing so by the most culpable neglect. It
was no wonder that the cemetery did not answer, if this
was a specimen of the manner in which the burial board
conducted their business. This was nob the firet com-
plaint of the sort which bad been made, and it really
became the duty of the directors to see that more respect
was paid to the remains of the poor. He was sorry to
say that it was also true that the bereaved woman, who
bore an excellent character, fell from the hearse on her
return, and sustained a severe injury on her head.
It was ultimately resolved to refer the matter to the
burial board, Mr. Wellby, one of its members, under•
taking that the matter should be immediately inquired
into.

inatists there. It is related that as General Can-
robert one evening returned somewhat earlier than
usual to his apartments in the Hotel d'Angle-
terre he found a strange man standing at his secre-
taire, which had been broken open, or opened
with a false key, and so busily occupied in examin-
ing his papers that be did not observe the General's
entrance. In high indignation the latter is repre-
sented to have seized a candlestick, or, as others
say, some sharp cutting object, and to have flung
it at his head. The stranger, turning round, re-
ceived a severe wound in the head, in the neigh-
bourhood of the eye, or, as others say, had his eye
knocked out. That is the story ; the fact is, that
that same evening a valet dc place was conveyed
from the Hotel d'Augleterre to the hospital, where
he seems to be under some danger of losing his eye
from a hurt he has received.
The Invalide of the Bth inst., announces officially
that the betrothal of the Grand Duke Nicholas with
the Princess Alexandra took place on Nov. 26. "This
joyful match of affection," says the Invalide, " will
serve to diminish the grief at the loss which the
Imperial family and the whole empire sustained in
the beginning of the year."
On the 4th inst. the Dowager Queen of the
Netherlands, Anna Paulowna, sister of the late
Emperor and aunt of the present, had a solemn
reception of all the high dignitaries of State, both
civil and military, together with their ladies, in
her apartments in the Winter Palace.

The Persian Ambassador, Seif-ul-Mjulk-Miri-
Pindisch-Abbas-Kuli-Khan, was at the date of the
last advices from St. Petersburg looked for
anxiously there ; he had arrived at Moscow on the
30th of November.

A private letter from Moscow at the end of No-
vember speaks of the confidence of the petty trades-
men in the Russian paper currency being much
shaken; that cases frequently occur now, more par-
ticularly in Moscow, Nichni, Astrakhan, &c., of
their refusing to take it, while, on the other hand,
they keep back and hide their silver money. Sil-
ver continues to rise there in price, a great deal of
it being smuggled out of the country, then melted
down, and brought back at an advance. The
" patriotic contributions" to the war fund are
made for the most part in kind, consisting of ma-
nufactured goods, produce of the soil, pictures of
saints, the paper money issued byvarious monetary
institutions or their coupons, so that the Treasury
itself is not much the richer for them.

An ukase of November 30 exempts the Jews of
Bessarabia from the approaching conscription inci-
dentally to the exemption pronounced in favour of
the governments of Poltava, Tchernigov, Char-
kow, Ekaterinoslav, Cherson, and Taurida, as the
ukase says, " on account of the great sacrifices and
exertions which the present state of war has already
imposed upon them."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Augsburg Gazette announces that the entire
army of the Austrian monarchy, the corps occupy-
ing Moldo-Wallachia alone excepted, is to be re-
duced to a peace footing, as the 4th army corps
standing in Gallicia has already been. Tile next
corps for reduction is that commanded by the Arch-
duke Albert, stationed in Hungary and Transyl-
vania. The diminution is effected not only by
granting leave to a large number of individual
soldiers, but by the disbanding of certain batta-
lions. The civil corps attached to the army, rein-
forced when, this time last year, its eventual ac-
tivity was contemplated, are also reduced to their
former footing.
A letter from Bucharest, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :—" In virtue of
an edict, published on the Ist, all corn which
shall not have been shipped within two months
from that date, will be liable to an export duty of
16 piastres the 100 kilos. for wheat and rye, 8
piastres for maize, and 5 piastres for barley and
oats (the piastre is about 5 sous). Another edict
shows that the relations between the inhabitants
and the Austrian troops are not very friendly, as
after reminding the authorities of the regulations of
the 28th Dec., 1854, relative to military quarters,
the Minister of the Interior adds :—' We have
heard with regret that even persons in easy cir-
cumstances have refused to furnish soldiers with
fire and candle, and wilfully destroy their stables
in order that they shall not be compelled to accom-
modate the troops.' In order to put an end to
this state of things, it is stated that every soldier
has a right to a clean bed with bolster and blanket,
to fire and candle in common with the inhabitants
of the house, and to a light and straw in the
stable. It is enjoined on all the authorities to see
that these prescriptions are all properly carried
into execution."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, DEC. 16.

The conduct of the Governor of the National
Bank, of which mention was made yesterday, was
so generally and loudly reprobated, that the func-
tion ary in question has considered it advisable to
make the following apology to the public in the
Wiener Zeitung of this morning :
"As is known the National Bank undertook to re-
ceive the subscriptions for shares in the Imperial Royal
Privileged Austrian Coedit Institution for Commerce
and Trade. In order that this might be done without
interruption to the usual business of the Bank, previous
arrangements were necessary, and some days before the
10th of December, on which date the public subscrip-
tions were to commence, well known tradespeople and
firms were permitted to make their subscriptions and
depoeits.
" In consequence of this arrangement, all classes of
people were able to share freely in the subscription on
the 10th of December and following days. The crowd
of applicants for shares was extremely great, and sur-
passed all expectations. A proper feeling for peace and
order was exhibited by the people, and the police and
military force displayed judgment, firmness and calm-
ness. Although thousands of persons were waiting in
the streets, there was neither disorder nor improper
behaviour. In order, however, to be able to receive
the subscriptions of those larger houses which had been
put off until the last day, in order that they might be
able to transact their business with more comfort to
themselves, it was by higher orders made known, by
means of a posted placard, that the subscription, wi,ieb
had during five days been open to all classes of people,
would be closed on Saturday, the 15th December.
"The results of the subscription are beyond all exp?c-
tation, and they clearly show that the object of the
founders of the institution, which was that all classes of
people should participate in it, has been completely at-
tained. From the beginning of the public subscription
to its close on Saturday, at 6 o'clock, a sum of about
644,666,0001 was subscribed by 25,076 persons.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Augsburg fiazette announces that the entire
army of the Austrian monarchy, the corps occupy-
lug Moldo-Wallachia alone excepted, is to be re•
duced to a peace footing, as the 4th army corps
standing in Gallicia has already been. The next
corps for reduction is that commanded by the Arch-
duke Albert, stationed in Hungary and Transyl-
vania. Tne diminution is effected not only by
granting leave to a large number of individual
soldiers, but by the disbanding of certain batta-
lions. The civil corps attached to the army, rein-
forced when, this tune last year, its eventual ac-
tivity was contemplated; are also reduced to their
former footing.
A letter from Bucharest, in the German
Journal 'of Frankfort, says :—" In virtue of
an edict, published on the Ist, all corn which
shall not have been shipped within two months
from that date, will b 3 liable to an export duty of
16 piastres the 100 kilos. for wheat and rye, 8
piastres for maize, and 5 piastres for barley and
oats (the piastre is a►,out 5 sous). Another edict
shows that the relations between the inhabitants
and the Austrian troops are not very friendly, as
after reminding the authorities of the regulations of
the 28th Dec., 1854, relative to military quarters,
the Minister of the Interior adds We have
heard with regret that even persons in easy cir-
cumstances have refused to furnish soldiers with
fire and candle, and wilfully destroy their stables
in order that they shall not be compelled to accom-
modate the troops.' In order to put an end to
this state of things, it is stated that every soldier
bee a right to a clean bed with bolster and blanket,
to fire and candle in common with the inhabitants
of the house, and to a light and straw in the
stable. It is enjoined on all the authorities to see
that these prescriptions are all properly carried
into execution."

THE NEW RUSSIAN LOAN.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg publishes the
following Imperial ukase relative to the new
Russian loan. It is addressed to the Minister of
Finances :

"To provide for the extraordinary expenses
which actual circumstances impose upon the trea-
sury of the Empire, we have authorised you, con-
formably to your proposition, to conclude, through
the medium of the commercial house of our
banker, Councillor Baron Stieglitz, of St. Peters-
burg, a loan of 50 millions of silver roubles, on
the conditions confirmed by us, and we order you
consequently to make the following arrange-
ments :

" 1. This loan is to be inscribed on the ledger
(grand-livre) of the public debt of Russia as the
sixth loan at 5 per cent.

" 2. For this loan notes shall be issued of the
Imperial Commission of the Sinking Fund (in-
scriptions) to the bearer ; each note to be for 500
silver roubles.

"3. This scrip will bear an annual interest of
5 per cent., dating from the Ist October of the
present year. To each note 20 coupons will be
attached, on the presentation of which the inte-
rest due will be p lid to the corresponding time.
" 4. The payment of this interest will be made
for each half-year due, from the Ist April to the
Ist June, and from the Ist October to the Ist
December, and there will be paid for each coupon
at St. Petersburg, by the Commission of the
Sinking Fund, 12 roubles 50 copecs silver, or else
through the medium of the bankers, Stieglitz and
Co., 23 florins 60 cents. of the Netherlands, or
26 marks 10 schelings 11 pfennings of the
Hamburg Bank.
" 5. On the expiration of the first 10 years of
the loan, new coupons will be issued for the scrip
then in circulation.

" G. The sinking (amortisscment) of this loan
will commence in 1858, and for this object a
special fund will be assigned, totally distinct from
the other loans, and which will form each year
two per cent. of the nominal capital of the loan.
This sinking-fund, which will increase from the
interests become disposable by the redemption of
scrip, will be employed to buy up the scrip at the
current rate (au cours) as long as it does not rise
above its nominal value, that is to say, above par.
After 20 years, namely, dating from 4875, the
Government reserves to itself the right of paying
the scrip of this loan, which may then be in cir-
culation, at the rate of its nominal value.

his Majesty the Emperor.]
