INSTITUTION OF CIVIL
ENGINEERS.

TUESDAY.—Sir John Rennie, president, in the chair.
The conversation upon the Estuary of the River
Severn being renewed, led to an interesting discussion
upon the River Clyde, and the capability of improve
meats of that river, which will be continued at the next
meeting.
The paper read was a short notice by Mr. G. Bu-
chanan, explanatory of a plan al,cl sections of the Mid-
Lothian coal-fields.

The coal field treated of is that by which the city of
Edinburgh has long been supplied, and it was stated to
be still very far from being exhausted, but that a very
large portion of the coal seams were rendered useless, on
ac2ount of the vast volume of water which, percolating
through the old working pervaded the freestone strata
above the coal, and poured down in such quantities that
the pumping engines were barely sufficient to keep open
the present workings ; it therefore became the object of
the proprietors to obtain an extensive system of drain-
age
throughout the coal-field. Mr. Middle, of New-
castle, was requestad to draw up a report on the subject,
from which it appeared that the great difficulty to be
encountered arose from the circumstance that an open
water communication existed throughout the district, end
pumping-engine placed in any a
one spot would draw
the water from every part around, which would render
it an operation involving great labour and expense,
which ought to be borne equally by all the mine proprie-
tors. The paper then described the situation of the great
dyke by which the coal was intersected and thrown
eighty fathoms upwards; the north-east boundary, where
the seams are standing on edge ; and then gave the dd.-
ferent seams of coal and their qualities. These were:
Splint coal, 3 feet thick, good quality; rough coal, 3 feet
thick, good quality; bufie coal, 4 feet thick, inferior qua-
lity, not much worked; diamond coal, 4 feet thick, wilt•
able when found; jewel coal, 4 feet thick, most valuable:
At the monthly ballot for members, the following can-
didates were elected:—William :Fronde, John Taylor,
jun., and Edward Woods, as members; Charles Frods-
ham, J. B. Huntington, and the Rev. S. J. Rigaud, as
associates.

The following paper was announced to be read at the
meeting of April 21:—
No. 737. On the combustion of fuel under-steam=
boilers, with a description of Bodmer's fire grate. By
J. G. Bodmer, M. Inst. C.E.

WIGAN ELECTION COMMITTEE.
Several witnesses, principally publicans, were examined
and cross-examined yesterday, but nothing was elicited
by which a direct agency could be proved.
The Committee then unanimously decided that the
Hon. James Lindsay had been duly elected a burgess
to serve in the present Parliament for the borough of
Wigan.
The Committee then adjourned.
The resolution will be reported to the House at its
meeting after the Easter recess.

heTldhaet
A letter from St Petersburgh of the 22d ult., says that
Sir Moses Munteuiore had been twice received by the Em-
BinannlftoronG
his audiences had not been without some good re-
sults, as it is affirmed that his Impeded Majesty has ordered
the suspension for four years of the ukase which ordained
that the Israelites dwelling on the w *stern frontiers of the
empire should remove to the central or southern provinces of
Russia.
AN OUT-AND. OUT DISSENTER... -- The Gloucester
Chronicle states that Mr. James Hart, a farmer, of Elton,
took a lad in his employ before the magi: drates, and preferred
a complaint against him for going to e (lurch instead of the
Wesleyan chapel. The magistrates, h( twever, declared that
the lad had jw't as much right to go to his parish church
as his master bad to frequent the WesU :yan chapel, and dis-
missed the complaint, mulcting the rei aster in the expenses.
Mr. Hart, it is said, has since disielt4 ed the boy from his
service.
