METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS

The ordinary weekly meeting of this board was
held yesterday at their offices in Spring-gardens.
Mr. John Thwaites, the chairman, presiding.

The cash statement showed that the balances in
the hands of the treasurer were—on current ac-
counts, £84,410 18s. 10d.; on deposit accounts,
£31,786 ss. ; and on Government securities,
£78,110 11s. 3d.
The CHAIRMAN announced that Mr. Bazalgette,
the engineer to the Board, had nearly completed the
plans and sections fox the embankment of the
Thames. He would be able to lay them on the
table by the 10th of July, and the board could then
proceed to invite tenders for the work. The tenders
might be returnable by the 13th of August, as the
Board would not adjourn for the holidays before
the 14th of that month.

Mr. CARPMAEL moved that the question should
be referred to the Thames Embankment Committee
to consider the best mode of inviting tenders for the
work.

Mr D'IFFANGER seconded the motion, and it was
carried unanimously.

Mr, SMITH, the solicitor to the Board, reported
that the Parliamentary committee had sat during
three days of the present week on the bill for the
new street from Blackfriars- bridge to the Mansion-
house, and the chief opponents to the measure were
the Corporation of London, the City Commissioners
of Sewers, and certain landowners. The corporation
proposed a different plan for the street, and prayed
that the authority for executing the works might
not be vested in the Board. The committee of the
House of Commons rejected the corporation plan and
prayer, and reported the preamble of the Board's
bill proved. (Hear.) The committee of the House
of Commons had also reported that the preamble of
the Southern Thames Embankment Bill had been
proved.
The remainder of the business was of a routine
character.

[ADvEirrisEmENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills—
Modern Science.—The time is not remote when all heredi-
tary skin diseases were pronounced to be incurable ; but
happily for all such sufferers at the present day the use of
Holloway's noble remedies will speedily dispel this dis-
couraging delusion. Scrofulous sores, strumous affections,
glandular swellings, and inflammations, yield a ready and
painless obedience to the cooling, rectifying, searching, and
strengthening properties of this well known Ointment and
these justly-esteerai d Pills. Their accompanying direc-
tions will enable everyone to apply these remedies to the
best advantage, and no one need fear that any evil will re-
sult from the adoption of Holloway's purifying treatment,
provided the diet be regulated and the instructions receive
even moderate attention,

LADIES.

Mr, SCULLY—I beg to ask the Under-Secretary for Fo-
reign Affairs whether it is true that the Russian General
Mouravieff has issued an ordinance proclaiming that the
penalty of the knout will be inflicted on all Polish ladies
dressed in mourning ?
Mr. LAYA RD—I wish it were in my power to deny the
statement ; but the only information before us is that which
has come within the knowledge of my hon. friend. No
official information has reached na on the subject.
THE VACCINATION OF SHEEP.

In reply to Sir J. C. JERvoisE,
Sir G. GREY—The experiments which had been under-
taken with respect to the effect of vaccination upon sheep,
with a view of preventing the spread of small-pox amongst
them, had not been as yet brought to a close.

PAROCHIAL SCHOOLMASTERS IN SCOTLAND.
In reply to Mr. DUNLOP,
Mr. LOWE said that the recent regulation with respect
to the deduction of salaries arising from endowment would
not apply to the legal salaries of parochial schoolmasters in
Scotland.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 19.—The yarn market to-day
has continued to exhibit the same quietness of tone
which was experienced on Tuesday. 'There is no
particular demand for any quarter, and what
business has been effected to-day has consisted of
very limited sales for various markets, including
the home trade. The small scale on which busi-
ness is doing has a natural tendency to depress
prices. Many spinners being well engaged con-
tinue to exhibit a good deal of indifference about
orders at anything under full prices ; but others
being in a less fortunate position are less firm, and
consequently there is some irregularity in the rates
at which some descriptions of yarn may be pur-
chased. In cloths also there is no change worthy
of notice since Tuesday. There is an absenefle

with the Dundee and Perth Company. Mr. R.
Bruce presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the

successful.

Mr. MACDUFF seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.
It was also resolved to approve the bill to enable
the Scottish Central to make branches to Plean
mineral fields, and also the Devon Valley Bill, for
the creation of preference shares, and giving the

A Profane Puff of the Bible.

In a flagrant " puff preliminary" advertisement
of a new edition of The Bible, the advertiser, who
is apparently (judging from his name, address, and
style of writing) some Scotch relative of our
esteemed " Jenkins" (for whom see Punch), and
probably a Gaelic cousin of Mr. Thackeray's
" Jeames," actually goes the length of thus profanely
appealing to the aristocracy of England for en-
couragement to his enterprise—saying, among other
pretty things :
" A copy of this Bible has been presented to the Prince
of Wales and the Princess Alexandria—through Lord
Shaftesbury—who have been graciously pleased—especially
the Princess, that brightest of orbs in tke firmament of
living beauty —to express their high admiration of it."
He then goes on as follows :—" I appeal first for patronage
to that bright galaxy, of more than Circassian beauty,
those fairy forms, cast in celestial moulds, whose meeds of
praise poetry Wolf fails to find language to award—the
Royal Bridesmaids. I solicit the honour of each of their
names for copies. I appeal next to the Royal relatives,
and the nobility and gentry of the country. Next, to a
splendid array of, in most instances, self-made aristocracy
—a class who have risen by their talents, energy, industry,
and enterprise to the occupation of proud and meritorious
positions—the Lord Mayors and Provosts, and Mayors and
Provosts of towns, and their ladies and daughters."

BERWICK ELECTION.—TWO candidates for the
vacancy in the representation of Berwick are before the elec-
tors of that ancient borough. Mr. W. W. Cargill, a
London banker, comes forward on Conservative principles,
and Mr. Mitchell, of Stow, a 3 a Liberal,—.Newcastle
Journal.

SUGAR STATISTICS.—A return made to Parlia-
ment, on the motion of Mr. Moffatt, gives the sugar
statistics of 1862. The total quantity imported into the
United Kingdom was rather more than 10,200,000 cwts.,
being a decrease of 436,000 cwts. as compared with 1861,
but an increase of above 1,000,000 over 1860, The decrease
in 1862 is in sugar from the Mauritius, India, and Java,
and the Philippine Islands. The produce of the Mauritius
probably finds a better market in Australia than in Eng-
land. The supplies from India have decreased 50 per cent.
since 1860. Those from the slave-owning countries have
greatly increased. From Brazil we took above 1,250,000
cwts. last year, being more than in 1860 and 1861 added
together. The West Indies and British Guiana are pro..
gressing favourably; in 1860 they sent us 3,375,610 cwts. ;
in 1861, 3,690,297 cwts, ; in 1862, 3,864,771 cwts. The
quantity of sugar entered for home consumption in the
United Kingdom last year was 9,370,819 cwts., yielding to
the revenue the largo sum of £6,215,346 net, an increase
both in quantity and in money over 1861,

HERR KUHE'S CONCERT.

This accomplished and popular pianist gave his
annual concert on Thursday, at the Hanover-square
Rooms, with great success. His skill and taste as
a performer are too widely known to need criticism,
and were fully displayed on the present occasion.
Herr Kuhe played a Tema con Variazioni, by
Mozart; a sonata, by Beethoven, and other clas-
sical pieces, together with some of his own graceful
and harmonious compositions. Prominent among
these was the closing piece of the concert—a fan-
tasia entitled, " Homage a Meyerbeer," founded
principally on tho beautiful airs in the "Hugue-
nots." Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame
Sainton-Dolby, and Herr Reichardt were the voca-
lists, and, as they are all popular favourites, their
performances gave great satisfaction. Madame Dolby
sang an air by Blumenthal, which was well adapted
to her voice; and Madame Sherrington a new song
called "The Seamaid's Grotto," and Rhode's cele-
brated air with variations, with her usual brilliant
execution and wonderful vocal skill. The two
ladies did not sing the duet from " Jessonia," which
was set down for them, Madame Sherrington
singing in its place a duet with Herr Reichardt,
the only fault of which-duet was its brevity. Herr
Reichardt also sang the new song of his own compo-
sition which:bids fair to become a concert favourite,
" Love's REquest," and a French romanza by
Boildieu.. Altogether the programme was well and
carefully selected, and the performance went off
with great eclat.

PLYMOUTH, JUNE 20.

The ship Tiptree, from Sydney, April 1, has
passed this port. Eight of her passengers landed
here to-day, and they report sighting, on Thursday
last, at the entrance of the Channel, one of Messrs.
Green's ships, supposed to be the Dover Castle,
that left Melbourne on the 20th March, with 19,000
ounces of gold.

She brings in all 34 cabin and 32 steerage passen-
gers, among whom are Mrs. Lockhart, Mrs. Rae,
Mrs. Brett, and Mesdames Cruickshank, Oliver, and
Bowton, Miss Creasy, Miss Mahony, Mr. and Mrs.
Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Baines, Rev. Father Murphy,
Mr. Provan, and Mr. Weir.

Her cargo includes about 3,000 bales of woo', some
hides, and a quantity of bark, copper ore, &c.
After departure the Tiptree experieneed strong
southerly r4nd south-west gales, which drove her so
far east as to prevent her from going seuth of New
Zealand. She went through Cook's Straits, April
1.2, 68 days, passed Chatham Island on the 14th,
and had strong westerly gales, during which, on
the 17th, in 55 S., three large icebergs were ob-
served, and the Tiptree rounded Cape Horn May 1,
entered the Southern Tropics on the 17th, crossed
the Line on the 25th, and at 9 p.m. yesterday was
off the Start under all sail, wind N. by E., fine.
She spoke, May 18, in long. 20.0 S., let. 26.46

THE CAPTURE OF PUEBLA.—At Fontainebleau,
while the band of the Guards were playing under
the windows of the hall where the Imperial party were
seated at dinner, the Prince Imperial suddenly made his ap-
pearance at one of the open windows, and flung out among
the musicians a small note, bearing en it the words "Puebla
is ours I General Ortega has surrendered, with 18,000
men I" Loud exclamations greeted this intelligence, whish
rapidly spread through the men, to the crowd assembled
around them, and thence was circulated through the town
of Fontainebleau. The band struck up the national air of
" Partant pour la Syrie," which was rapturously received,
amid cries of " Vive l'Empereur 1 vive l'lmperatrice," and
aolia.
tnlightfall an improvised illumination was got up, while
rockets and fireworks were let off in various quarters of the
t
A grand fete was given at the chateau in honour of
the event on Sunday, when at a banquet were assembled,
besides the guests on a visit to their Majesties, all the tune-
tionaries and persons of note of the town and neighbour-
hood,

HERR KUHE'S CONCERT'.

This accomplished and popular pianist gave his
annual concert on Thursday, at the Hanover-square
Rooms, with great success. His skill and taste as
a performer are too widely known to need criticism,
and were fully displayed on the present occasion.
Herr Kuhe played a Tema con Variazioni, by
Mozart ; a sonata, by Beethoven, and other clas-
sical pieces, together with some of his own graceful
and harmonious compositions. Prominent among
these was the closing piece of the concert—a fan-
tasia entitled, " Homage it Meyerbeer," founded
principally on the beautiful airs in the " Hugue-
nots." Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame
Sainton-Dolby, and liar Reichardt were the voca-
lists, and, as they are all popular favourites, their
performances gave great satisfaction. Madame Dolby
sang an air by Blumenthal, which was well adapted
to her voice; and Madame Sherrington a new song
called "The Seamaid's Grotto," and Rhode's cele-
brated air with variations, with her usual brilliant
execution and wonderful vocal skill. The two
ladies did not sing the duet from " Jessonga," which
was set down for theta, Madame Sherrington
singing in its place a duet with Herr Reichardt,
the only fault of which duet was its brevity. Herr
Reichardt also sang the new song of his own compo-
sition which:bids fair to become a concert favourite,
" Love's Request," and a French romanza by
Boildieu. Altogether the programme was well and
carefully selected, and the performance went off
with great eclat.

A Profane Puff of the Bible.

In a flagrant " puff preliminary" advertisement
of a new edition of The Bible, the advertiser, who
is apparently (judging from his name, address, and
style of writing) some Scotch relative of our
esteemed "Jenkins" (for whom see Punch), and
probably a Gaelic cousin of Mr. Thackeray's
" Jeames," actually goes the length of thus profanely
appealing to the aristocracy of England for en-
couragement to his enterprise—saying, among other
pretty things :
" A copy of this Bible has been presented to the Prince
of Wales and the Princess Alexandria—through Lord
Shaftesbury—who have been graciously pleased—especially
the Princess, that brightest of orbs in tke firmament of
living beauty —to express their high admiration of it.''
He then goes on as follows :—" I appeal first for patronage
to that bright galaxy, of more than Circassian beauty,
those fairy forms, cast in celestial moulds, whose meeds of
praise poetry itself fails to find language to award—the
Royal Bridesmaids. I solicit the honour of each of their
names for copies. I appeal next to the Royal relatives,
and the nobility and gentry of the country. Next, to a
splendid array of, in most instances, self-Imade aristocracy
—a class who have risen by their talents, energy, industry,
and enterprise to the occupation of proud and meritorious
positions—the Lord Mayors and Provosts, and Mayors and
Provosts of towns, and their ladies and daughters."

BERWICK ELECTION.—Two candidates for the
vacancy in the representation of Berwick are before the elec-
tors of that ancient borough. Mr. W. W. Cargill, a
London banker, comes forward on Conservative principles,
and Mr. Mitchell, of Stow, as a Liberal,—Newcastle
Journal.

SUGAR STATISTICS.—A return made to Parlia-
ment, on the motion of Mr. Moffatt, gives the sugar
statistics of 1862. The total quantity imported into the
United Kingdom was rather more than 10,200,000 cwts.,
being a decrease of 436,000 cwts. as compared with 1861,
but an increase of above 1,000,000 over 1860, The decrease
in 1862 is in sugar from the Mauritius, India, and Java, '
and the Philippine Islands. Tho produce of the Mauritius
probably finds a better market in Australia than in Eng-
land. The supplies from India have decreased 50 per cent.
since 1860. Those from the slave-owning countries have
greatly increased. From Brazil we took above 1,250,000
cwts. last year, being more than in 1860 and 1861 added
together. The West Indies and British Guiana are pro..
greasing favourably ; in 1860 they sent us 3,375,610 cwts.
in 1861, 3,690,297 owls.; in 1862, 3,864,771 cwts. The
quantity of sugar entered for home consumption in the
United Kingdom last year was 9,379,819 cwts,, yielding to
the revenue the large sum of £6,215,346 net, an increase
both in quantity and in money over 1861.

REPORTED REPULSE OF THE FEDERAL
FLEET BEFORE CHARLESTON.

TERRIBLE BATTLE BETWEEN THE
LAND FORCES,

NEW YORK, APRIL 11 (Evening).
(Per Nova Scotian.)

The Cincinnati papers state that late Southern
journals had been received in Nashville, containing
news to the effect that the Federal ironclads had
been repulsed from before Charleston, and that a
terrible battle between the. land forces was pro-
gressing within sight of the city.

The Richmond Whig contains Charleston de-
spatches, dated the Bth inst saying that the psople
and troops were in high spirits at the result of
yesterday's fight. The Keokuk is certainly sunk.
The fighting was chiefly at a distance of 900 yards,
and the Monitors cannot pass Fort Sumter without
coming within 500 yards.
An impression prevails that the enemy will re-
new the attack after repairing damages. Seven
Monitors are still off the harbour. The machine
for the removal of the torpedoes floated ashore,
and was captured by, the Confederates.
A despatch from Charleston, dated 9th morn-
ing, reports all quiet. The Monitors were still in
sight. Pieces of the Keokuk have floated ashore.
An impression prevails that the slaughter on
board that vessel was terrible.

General Grant went to Vicksburg in person
under a flag of truce on the 4th inst. His mission
is unknown.

The British ship Surprise, and the British
schooners John Williams, Florence Nightingale, and
Brothers, have been captured.
A large meeting of Union Leagues was held to-
day on Union-square, it being the anniversary of
the firing on Fort Sumter.

BILL.

Earl DE GREY moved the second reading of this bill,
which was merely to abolish an office which had virtually
been abolished since the separation of the offices of Secre-
tary at War and Secretary for the War Department, in
1855.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII said he was not going
to oppose the bill, but he hoped the noble earl who had
succeeded to the office of Secretary for War with so much
satisfaction to the country—Oaear, hear)—would take into
cor.sideration the fact that there were several important
functions connected with the office then declared to be
abolished, such, for instance, us seeing that the war ex-
penditure did not exceed the votes of Parliament, and others
which could not be efficiently performed by thepresenr
secretary.
Earl RUSSELL was understood to say that the change
effected was merely nominal, and that the duties were per-
formed just in the same way as formerly.
Earl GREY said, if it was to be assumed by that bill be-
ing allowed to pass that the house approved of the present
administration of the War Department, he for one would
protest against that assumption. Re considered the present
state of that office requited considerable reforms.
The bill was then read a second time.

S. NORTHCOTE, from a charitable institution, praying the
house not to accede to the proposition of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer to subject such institutions to income tax ;
Alderman COPELAND to the like effect.
METROPOLI FAN POLICE.

Mr. COX gave notice of his intention, on Tuesday next,
to move for a return of the number of Metropolitan police
employed in various parishes in Islington in the first days
of the first three months of 1862 ; also the number em-
ployed elsewhere and in the parks ; also the sums paid by
the various parishes towards the police rate.

The Okehampton and Lidford Junction Railway, Mid
Wales Railway, Berks and Hants Extension Railway, and
Leeds Gas Bills, were read a third time and passed.

ALKALI WORKS REGULATION BILL.

The houso went into committee on this bill.

The Earl of DERBY thought the time fixed for the bill
coming into operation should be fixed at an earlier date
than January 24. He thought it might very well be made
effective in September or Oct..ber.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he should not
object to the suggestion of the noble earl in cases where the
owners of works had already constructed condensing appa-
ratus, but where that was not the case, it would take some
time to effect the necessary improvements, and, therefore,
that was the reason for fixing the time for the bill coming
into active operation in January, 1864.
The clause, having been amended, was agreed to.
On clause 4, a discussion arose as to whether it would be
possible by the bill as it at present stood to proceed against
the owner of woks for a second conviction at the same
quarter sessions at which the first was tried and adjudicated
on.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he would con-
sider the effect of the words and state his determination on
the bringing up of the report.
Clauses 5,6, and 7 were agreed to.
After some discussion, and some formal amendments, the
remaining clauses were agreed to, and the bill passed
through committee.
