WIDTH OF STREETS AND POWER OF BUILDINGS
ACT TO PREVENT NARROWING THEM.—A building
owner, Mr. Harvey, had commenced the erection ot 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
budding purposes. The owners of the house next ad-
joining, thus materially injured, laid an information
through their architect, Mr. George Godwin, jun., before
the referees; meetings were held, at which all the parties
attended; it was evident that laying down the line the
houses on both sides had not been considered; and the
referees (Messrs. noshing 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, on 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 ot
the referees to determine the line of front, and award
against the projection of the building before that line,
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
fronts, and to enforce or prever.t 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.
MEETING OF GIBSON AND BRIGHT'S ELECTION
COMMITTEE.--MANCHESTER, ITUESDAY.—A1TUESDAY.—A meeting of
this committee was held this afternoon, in a room in
4 Newall's-buildings, for the purpose of memorialising the
Right Hon. 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
Watkin, James Watts, George Hadfield, and Archibald
Prentice, Esqrs., &c. &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 Mr. Whyatt,
condemning the conduct of Mr. !shiner Gibson for his
vote upon the window-tax and the grant for the Kafir
war. The meeting was attended by about 300 of war
most respectable merchants, manufacturers, &c., and
was most enthusiastic in its denunciations of the tilinis-
terial budget. Several rounds of applause were given
for the French nation, and resolutions callin upon the
Members for this city to oppose any aggressive move-
ment that may hereafter be made by the Vovernment on
the French nation.
THE NEW NOVEL, "ANGELA," 13.4 THE AUTHOR OF
" EMILIA. WYNDEIAM.”—" If life were given to us,"
says the Atlas, " only for ease and enjoyment we should
desire nothing better than' to he upon a sofa and read
of ' Emilia
eternal new novels,' by tho authoress
Wyndham.' It would be but a poor pretence not 'to
write the feminine noun. Such novels as ' Emilia
Wyndham' and 'Angela are so womanly—they have
a grace, a tenderness, a trustingness, a faith in the
holiness of affection and the virtue of self-discipline,
such as we never expect to meet with in the works of
the master artist. Such pictures of female heroism,
whether in doing or iu 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 difference, It has the same appreciation of the

dignity of patient mbroission to the will Of God, com-
bined with an active performance of human duties ; but
the circumstances which call forth an assertion of these
qualities are in the two novels widely different."
YEOMANRY (IRELAND).—EI conformity with a
return moved for by Mr. Ilume, 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 bees
disbanded en the 31st Qf March, 1634.
