THE SALARIES OE THE OFFICERS.

Mr. LEGG said that there was no doubt, in con-
sequence of the Thames embankment, a vast amount
of work had been thrown upon the board ; and
there could also be no doubt but that the work of
the officers had been materially increased. The
time was now come when, as the board was about
to apportion the expenses of the establishment,
they should consider the following motion, which
he had given notice of—" That it be referred to
the Thames Embankment Committee to consider
the increased duties and responsibilities thrown
upon the heads of the several departments of the
board in consequence of the passing of the Thames
Embankment Acts 1862 and 1863, and that in
taking into consideration the subdivision of the
expenses of the board, the salaries of such officers be
re-considered."

Mr. NEWTON seconded the motion.
An amendment was moved that the question be
not put, which was carried.
After the transaction of some routine business
the board adjourned.

(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER TO THE Tln . M 7.r ----I
SANTIAGO, Dec. 17, 18 1,1 'l'l S-
A dreadful accident occurred in Santiago on the
Bth inst., which has plunged the whole city, and in-
deed the whole country, into mourning--2,000
human beings, principally women, perished by fir©
on that day, and were consumed in the short space
of a qu-Artcr of an hour, without receiving assistance '
of any kind, or rather bee Luse it was out of the by-
standers' power to afford t hem any help.

The Bth of December is. in Catholic countries a
great feast day, being the anniversary of th.e Pa; i-
sima Concepcion of the B.Virgin Mary. Daring the
previous month the Church de lc Campania, so
called b, cause it belonged formerly to the Te.suits
(Campania de J.,:sus). had .bern celebrating the
devotional practices and offices that correspord to
the Nes de Maria, a copy or in iitation o what 'at
the same period of the year takes plums in French
churches. The month ends on Ike. 8, or the Feast
of the Grneeption of the Virgin, and on the evening
of that day the church was to be iLtunainated and
adorned with flowers and garlands with more pro-
fusion than on former evenings. I may mention that.
many who had visited this church. mu former occa-
sions had complained of the suffocation produced by
the great agglomeration of people, :and especially
of the danger likely to be incurred by the great
number of lights on the principal altar, and indeed
all round the church, but it seems no me asures were
taken to prevent a serious accident. The church was
capacious enough to contain, is my opinion, 3,000
women, packed as they are in these countries, sit-
ting and kneeling on the floor on their own hand-
carpets, which each lady carries with her. Besides
those who could accommodate themselves inside (for
which purpose many took their seats outside the
church three hours before the doors were opened),
nearly 500 were left outside, sitting on steps of
the church near the doors, and just close enough. to
hear the music or catch a few stray words from the
preacher.
