WIDTH OF STREETS AND POWER OF BUILDINGS
ACT TO PREVENT NARROWING THRM.—A building
owner, Mr. Harvey, had commenced the erection of a
detached house in the Lewisham-road far before the
fronts of the adjoining houses on one side, on a line laid
down by the district surveyor who had been previously-
employed by the owner to make a plan of the land for
building purposes. The owners of the house next ad-
joining, thus materially injured, laid an information
through their architect, Mr. George Godwin, jun., before
ihe referees; meetings were held, at which all the parties
attendee;; it was evident that laying down the line the
houses on both sides had not been considered; and the
referees (Messrs. Hocking and Shaw), made an award,
the effect of which would be to put back the house in
question very materially, and slightly lessen the injury
to the adjoining owners, and to the appearance of the
neighbourhood. The registrar, however, thought it his
duty to withhold the seal of office, en the grounds that
the " building in question being a separate and detached
dwelling-house is not a projection within the meaning of
of the Metropolitan Buildings Act, and that there is no
rule in the Act which prohibits the erection of such a
building in the circumstances in question." In opposi-
tion to this view, Mr. George Godwin has pointed out
to the Commissioners of Works, to whom the matter has
been referred by the registrar, that the Competence of
the referees to determine the line of front, and award
against the projection of the building before that lino!,
has been admitted by. the registrar on many previous
occasions. The question is a simple one, have the
referees power to determine what is the general line of
tents, and to enforce or prevent projections before it?
If they have not power to determine it in this case, they
have not in any other, as the Commissioners of Woods
will speedily find out, should they be led to confirm the
registrar in his refusal to affix the seal.—Builder.
MEEIING OF GIBSON AND BRIGHT'S ELECTION
COMMITTEE.—MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—A. meeting of
this committee was held this afternoon, in a.r?om in
Newali's-buildings, for the purpose of memorialising the
Right lion. Thomas Milner Gibson and John Bright on
the subject of Lord John Russell's budget. The chair
was occupied by George Wilson, Esq., president of the
committee, and the meeting was addressed by Alderman
Warkin, James Watts, George Hadfield, and Archibald
Prentice, Esqrs., &e. &c. A memorial was adopted.
condemnatory of the income tax as it at present stands,.
and the legacy and probate duties, and suggesting a tax
upon landed property. A resolution was afterwards:,
proposed by Mr. Nelson, and seconded by Air. Whyatt,,
condemning the conduct of Mr. Milner Gibson for his;
vote upon the window-tax and the grant for the Kafis:
war. The meeting was attended by about 300 of emir
most respectable merchants, manufacturers, &c., a.rail
was most enthusiastic in its denunciations of the Mime-.
terial budget. Several rounds of applause were give
for the French nation, and resolutions calling upon Liar
Members for this city to oppose any aggressive mov e-
inem that may hereafter be made by the Government' )5 i.
the French nation.
THE NEW NOVEL, " ANGELA," BY THE AUTHOR o 3t:
10
`• EMILIA WYNDHAM."—" It life were given to Ut 1,.
says the Atlas, " only for ease and enjoyment we shou
desire nothing better than 'to lie upon a sofa and re. lA. (
eternal new novels,' by the authoress of ' Emit 141,
Wyndham.' It would be but a poor pretence not'., %,:,
write the feminine noun. Such novels as ' Emil ia
Wyndham' and ' Angela' areso womanly—they ha, a
a grace, a tenderness, a trustiegness, a faith in th w
holiness of affection and the virtue of self-discipline e
such as we never expect to meet with in the works ot:
the master artist. Such pictures of female heroism.
whether in doing or in suffering, are beyond the reach
of man. ' Emilia Wyndham' was a delightful illustra-
tion of one aspect of womanly duty; ' Angela' resembles •
it with a dillerance. It has the same appreciation of the •
dignity of patient submission to the will of God, com-•
biped with an active performance of human duties ; but.
the circumstances which call forth an assertion of these
qualities are in the two wvels widely different."
YEOMANRY (IRELAND).—III conformity with a
return moved for by Mr. Hume, a statement of the
number of officers and men of the yeomanry in Ireland:
on the Ist of January, 1829, 1835, 1840, and 1847, has•
just been laid on the table of the House of Commons-
It appears that in the year 1829 there were 1,157 com-
missioned officers of the yeomanry, 35,258 non- com-
missioned officers and men. For the years 1835, 1840,.
and 1847 the return is nil, the yeomanry having been..
disbanded on the 31st, of March, 1634.
