AND THE ENGINEER.

A report was brought up from the Main Drain-
age Committee, stating that whilst the committee
feel that the board have ho reason to withdraw their
perfeetconfidence from their engineer with regard to
the settlement of the account of Mr. Furness, for the
Northern Outfall Sewer Works, yet, having regard
to the fact that he has himself specially requested
the appointment of an independent engineer to
examine and settle the account in question, they re-
commend that the application be complied,with ;
and that whatever fee may be payable to the engi-
neer to be so employed, it be paid by the board, and
that the subject be referred back to the committee
to select an engineer, and to take all necessary
steps for completing the matter.
The adoption of the recommendation having been
moved and seconded,

Mr. HALEY moved an amendment to the effect
that the board, having full confidence in the integrity
of the engineer, saw no reason to ask for the inter-
ference of any other person in examining the accounts
sent in by the contractor, and that the usual course
should be followed respecting their examination.

The amendment wasseeoutled,old atter
matea discussion, in whia the cirri cater and con-
duct of Nir. Bazalgette' wore highly spoken of, 'was
put from the chair, when it was carried, upon a di-
vision by a majority of 21 to 9. _

Another amendment was moved by Mr. SAMUDA
to the same effect, but putting forward the matter
more directly in the form of a vote of confidence,
and in terms declining the request of the civil engi-
neer to be relieved from his ordinary duties in such
matters.

The amendment was seconded, and :also led to
much discussion, in which it was obvious that the
majority of the board were determined to uphold
their engineer to the full extent ; whereas the mino-
rity considered that the matter ought not to be de-
cided at present upon the issue of confidence or no
confidence.
Mr. Samuda's amendment was, however, ulti-
mately carried by a majority of 19 to 3.
The routine business was then disposed of, and
the board adjourned.

THE BREADALBANE SUCCESSION.—A new effort
is about to be made by Lieut. Campbell, one of the
claimants of the earldom and entailed estates of Breadal-
bane, to get the Court of Session to appoint a judicial ma-
nager of the estates pending the litigation. On the death
of the late Marquis of Breadalbane in Nov., 1862, without
issue, the right to the entailed estates and to the Scottish
earldom reverted to the family of William Campbell of
Glenfalloch, one of the substitute heirs named in the Brea-
dalbane and Inverardan entails, dated 1775. The unen-
tailed and personal property, unimportant, in comparison,
went in terms of the testamentary disposition of the de-
ceased. The grandson of the second son of Wm. Camp-
bell, now Mr. Campbell of Glenfalloch, took possession as
heir of entail, but his right was challenged by Lieutenant
Campbell, of the 2d Bengal Cavalry, the grandson of the
sixth son of the substitute heir, and who now sought to set
aside the present Glenfalloch on the ground that James
not legally married, and that his children were Campbell, his grandfather, the son of Wm. Campbell, wag
conse-
quently illegitimate. Lieut. Campbell petitioned the Court
to appoint a manager to the estates, but their lordships re-
fused the petition, holding that Mr. Campbell of Glenfal-
loch was entitled to the presumption of legitimacy, in.
virtue of which he held Glenfalloch, as well as Breadal-
bane. They, however, reserved to the petitioner to make
another application in the event of any change arising out
of the proceedings or circumstances of the case. This judg-
ment, adopted by three to one, was appealed to the House
of Lords, and was there affirmed by two to one. Meantime
proof has been taken of Lieut. Campbell's case, and he now.
presents that proof to the Court with a new application for
a judicial factor. He sets forth that he has profvaiediotchw

BREAKFAST BETERA.GE,—Homce)pa'hic practitioners,
end the medical profession general!y, recommend cocci
as being the most healthi
ul of all beverages. When the dos,
trine of homoeopathy
was first introduced into this country.
there were
. to be obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at.
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the mit
was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilful',
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
HorriceOpathie Chemist, was induced in the yeir 18Ia to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect tiituration it receives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-

cious—aroma. Dr. Rasesll, in his wo:k, "Food and ita
Adulterations," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or mak. secured
in tin-lined alb., ilb., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by
all grocers, Confectioners, and chemists.— [ADM]
