MET.ROPOLI7AN BOARD 0.,r WORKS.

The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of
Works was held yesterday at the office, Spring..
gardens ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair..
THE EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES.
The following report was brought no from the
finance committee, in reference to- the embankment
of the Thames :
" Your honourable board on the Bth of August
last having referred it to your committee to take
steps for raising the funds for carrying out the
Thames Embankment Act, they have been in com-
munication with the commissioners of he r Majesty's
Treasury with reference to the approprim.ion of the
Thames Embankment and Metropolis Improvement
Fund, under the 45th section of the act, and have
received from that department a request to- be fur-
nished with an account of all costs, charges, and
expenses incurred by the board in relation to the, act.
Your solicitor has, by direction of your committee,
procured and laid before them the counsel's feeil,
parliamentary agents' charges, and miscellaneonl
expenses incurred by your honourable board
in connextioT with the measure during its passage
through parliament, from which it appears that so
far as at present ascertained, the expenses incurred
amount to £1,610 4s. 4d. Borings and other works
for carrying out the act are now in progress, and
with a view to providing for defraying the cost of
the same, and meeting the expenses above referred
to, your committee recommend that a communica-
tion be made to the Treasury apprising them of the
amount of expenses already incurred, and for the
purpose of opening an account at the bank, that
the board do under their seal, in pursuance of the
45th section of the Thames Embankment Act,
1862, request
to pay v

tuning the bricks and preparing other materials for
the works. The entrance to No. 1 dock has been
deepened and the waterway widened ; but owing to
the set of the tide at that spot the dock will never
be fit for the reception of any but the smaller
class of vessels. In consequence of the dock in its
present. state being altogether useless, it has been
boarded over and converted into a workshop for the
mechanics employed on the Achilles.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Capt. C. T. Leckie to the Leo-
pard ; H. C. Av Wise, master, to the Colossus, for
the Coastguard ; C. T. F. Hodgkinson, midshipman,
to the Euryalus ; and J. Briggs, acting second-class
assist.-engineer, to the Defence.

In answer to Mr. Robinson,
The CHAIRMAN said the Thames Embankment
Act authorised an expenditure to be incurred by
this board, and such expenses were to be defrayed
out of the Thames embankment fund. That expen-

and other expenses, fnr the. piirpose of enabling, thA
board to proceed with vigour in carrying the provi-
sions of tho act into effect.

Mr. RopiNt.:oN said he saw by the model before
him that several new streets were proposed in con-
nexion with the Thames embankment, and he
wished to know if those proposed new streets ema-
nated from this board.
The CHAIRMAN said they formed a portion of the
scheme recommended by the royal commissioners,
and since then sanctioned by Parliament. The
model now on the table showed in its integrity the
scheme as it had been approved by both Houses of
Parliament.
The recommendation of the Finance Committee
was unanimously adopted.

THE PROPOSED GARIBALDI 111:,z1E7ING

IN TIIE CITY.

The sub-committee appointed to arrange the de-
tails of this meeting met last night. Mr. Richard-
son, one of the hon. secretaries, reported that the
London Tavern could not be obtained for Wednes-
day next, the day fixed upon. He had received a.
large number of letters from members of Parlia-
ment, clergymen, merchants, bankers, and other
gentlemen in the City, men of all parties, and many
of whom who had not signed the requisition, all
strongly disapproving of the conduct of the Lord
Mayor in refusing the use of the Guildhall to the re-
quisitionists. The majority of these letters contained
offers of personal and pecuniary aid to make the
meeting at the London Tavern an effective one.
It was finally resolved that the meeting should be
held on Friday next, the 17th inst., at the London
Tavern, at two o'clock, Mr. Western IV ood, M.P.,
having consented to take the chair ; and that Baron
Rothschild, Sir S. Duke, and Mr. R. W. Crawford,
the other City members, ehould be invited to take
part in the proceedings. It was also arranged that
the speakers should be chosen, as far as possible,
from City men, so that the meeting might be really,
what it professed to be,an expression of the citizens
of London. Every precaution has been taken
against disturbance.
It is said that another set of requisitionists hay
their eyes on the Guildhall; for on Wednesday tit&
Lord Mayor received an intimation that a requisi -
tion might soon be presented to him, asking for the
use of the hail for a meeting "to adopt an address
to the Queen praying that her Majesty will be
pleased to command her Ministers to abstain from
urging on the Emperor of France the withdrawal
of his troops from Rome, as such withdrawal would,
under present circumstances, cause the invasion cf
the capital of the dominions of the sovereign pon-
tiff, the ally of her Majesty." This, of course, ema-
nates from the Roman Catholics. It is also stated
that a communication has been received at the
Mansion-house from a Roman Catholic source, to
the effect that an organised attempt would bo made
to defeat the object of the proposed meeting, and
that a serious disturbance might take place, adding
that the Irish population in London are in a state
of great excitement.
