THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.
The
PRESIDENT said that important questions
had a
arisen with reference to certain deviations whish
tot
had become necessary during the progress of this
great national undertaking, and it was important to
fix an early day for taking the matters into consi-
deration, and he would suggest that some day should
be appointed which would not interfere with the
ordinary meeting of the board. The act which had
been lately passed had vested a large discretion in
the board in this respect.
After some considerable discussion,
the engineer for a report to be
Mr. HENLY moved that the sufbujrencitshbeedretfoerarecdoult°
mittee of the whole board.

Mr. D'IFFANGER seconded the motion, which 'MI/
carried.

A lengthened discussion ensued as to some extra
payments to the solicitor and other parties in re-
spect of extra services rendered under the new act,
after which the board adjourned,

-A—deplorable accident occurred at Beaumont-
sur- Oise two evenings since. As two journeymen
hers were pouring some naphtha from one vesse toanother,
it took fire from a candle which stood near, and
a u
explosion followed. The unfortunate men, with their
l
clothes in a blaze, rushed into the street, crying out for
help. Several persons haetened to throw water on them,
and at last extinguished the flames, but not before both
the men were so dreadtully burnt that they died in a few
hours after. Meanwhile, the workshop where the accident
happened was burning with great fury and the whole pre-
mises were in imminent danger. Fortunately, however,
the firemen-
succeeded in confining the conflagration to the
building where it originated. The damage is estimated at
about 10,000 f.
