WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE and NEW
PALACE.—SECOND REPORT.
The Select Committee appointed to consider the present
state of Westminster-bridge, and of the New Palace at
Westminster, particularly with reference to the Reception
and Accommodation of this House in the same; and to
report their observations thereupon to the House, and who
(tiers empowered to report their opinion from time to time
to the House—have further considered the matters to them
referred, and agreed to the following report :
That in the matter of Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney's petition,
referred to your Committee, it appears,. after hearing Mr.
Goldsworthy Gurney, that no evidence of the application of
his system to any existing public building has been adduced
in its favour.
That the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Works having
appointed three gentlemen of eminent attainments to assist
him in determining upon the matter of the ventilation of the
New Palace at Westminster, before whom any theoretical
reasoning which Mr. Gurney may be able to adduce may be
brought forward, and considered, it does not appear either
necessary, in justice to Mr. Gurney, or expedient on other
grounds, that any opinion founded upon such theoretical
r*eoning should be expressed upon it by your Committee.
May 29, 1846.

PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON_-- A meeting of the Fo-
reign Ambassadors and Ministers has taken place, to consult
on the line of policy to be adopted towards Prince Louis
Napoleon, and it has been agreed that, until they receive in-
st ructions from their different Courts, they will abstain from
personal intercourse with the Prince. The Ex-Ping of Hol-
land, father to Prince Louis Napoleon, possesses immense
wealth, and makes a noble use of it in relieving the poor and
unfortunate. He resides chiefly at Florence.
WATERMEN AND LIGHTERMEN'S ASYLUM. -- The
seventh anniversary of the institution, called the Free Water-
men and Lightermen's Asylum for poor, aged, decayed, and
maimed watermen and lightermen of the river Thames and
their wives or widows, was celebrated on Wednesday night,
at the Old London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and he was supported by the
venerable Alderman Lucas, the master wardens and assistants
of the Incorporated Watermen and Lightermen's Company,
and 170 other gentlemen connected with the river and port
of London. In the course of the evening the committee's
report was read, which stated that their vice-president, Mr.:l.
D. Brown, perceiving, as he has done, the necessity of having
a church near to the asylum, in which the aged inmates
may attend Divine worship, and the advantage that would
accrue to them froeihaving a resident clergyman, who might
be always at hand to minister to their spiritual wants, and
to superintend the institution when he (Mr. Brown) should
no longer be able to do so, he has offered to find 1,0001. in
money, six acres of land, partly for the site of a church,
church-yard, and parsonage-house, and the remainder to be
let on building leases, to provide an endowment of 1501. :
a
year; and, at the expiration of such leases, to increase it
to
to
8001. a year, the remainder of the rents being applicable
the asylum—Mr. Brown to have the first,preseensiatiitionthtoo
the church, and afterwards the patronage to v
Company of Watermen. The amount subscribed
721. by the
r
company present was 8621. for the almshouses,
the church.
