LISBURN ELECTION.

Mr. COLLINS was about to move that the Attorney-
General for Ireland be instructed to prosecute Messrs, J.
Barbour, R. Barbour, and T. Barbour, for bribery at the
late Lisburn election, when
Mr. BAINES moved the adjournment of the house, on
the ground that it was improper to discuss so grave a ques-
tion at so late an hour.

The house divided, and the motion was lost by 142 to 19.
Mr. COLLINS then moved that the gentlemen be pro-
secuted.

The motion was amended by the omission of Thomas
Barbour's name, and was then agreed to.
The house then adjourned.

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 lls. 3d.

The CHAIRMAN announced that Mr. Bazalgette,
the engineer to the Board, had nearly completed the
plans and sections for the embankment of the
Thames. He would ha 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.
