IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

THE CLOCK TOWER.

The Earl of EGLINTON called the attention of the
noble earl opposite to the state of the Clock 'rower. Tie
presumed the object of erecting this tower was to let
people know the time of day; but judging from the
peculiar dial put up on one side, he did not think that
object would be attained by affixing similar hieroglyphics
on the other three sides.

Earl GRANVILLE said, that having received notice
from the noble lord, of his intention to ask the quest►on,
he had communicated with Sir C. Barry. That gentle-
man had written to him, stating that he was quite sensi-
ble of the defects of the dial plate already fixed. Those
defects would be remedied with the shortest possible
delay. In a ♦ery short time the clock would be set up,
a-means having been contrived to fix it from the inte-
rior, instead of the exterior, of the Tower.
rd DUNGANNON gave notice of his intention to
move on Monday for certain returns in reference to per-
sons qualified to act as justices of the peace, the number
of petty sessions held throughout the year in England
and Wales. nod other matters connected with the duties
of the magistracy.

The report from the Committee. on the salaries and
duties of officers was brought up and read.
It was agreed that the recommendation of the Com-
mittee to accept 55,0001. Console to be transferred to
the board as security from the Bank of London should
be adopted, and it was referred back to the committee
to carry the same into effect. _ _ _

The recnmnaendation of the committee with reference
to the appointment of subordinate •fficers and the en-
gineer and superintendent arehitect's.deliartments, was
also adopted after some discussion. The reconsrnenda-
don of the committee was, that there should be three
assistant engineers, six clerks of works, four en-
gineer clerks, and six draughtsmen. That the
examination of contractor's account should be transferred
from the accountant's office under the old board to that
of the engineer's. That the engineer should be autho-
rised to engage for a period of two months the necessary
assistance required for completing a map of London on
a scale of 5 feet and 1 foot, showing the size and
levels of the various sewers. The salaries of the

former at a salary of 2001., and the other 150/. per

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS'

Meeting This Day.

-__--P ~_..__

The usual weekly meeting of the members of this
board was held this morning at the Council•chamber,
Guildhall : Mr.-Thwaites in the chair.

The minutes of the last meeting were read by the
clerk (Mr. Woolrycb), and confirmed.

DRPUTATION TO THE BOARD.

The OHAIRMILN said tharfie had received an applica-
tion during the week requesting the board to receive a
deputation. It being the first application of the kind,
he suggested that the board should decide on receiving
deputations in future immediately after the confirming
the nainutes of the previous, meeting.
This suggestion was agrsed to, and it was decided
that the application of the deputation should be read,
and the deputation called in.
The CLERK then read the notice from the Vestry Clerk
of St. Saviour's, Southwark, asking the board.to receive
a deputation from that parish and a section of the St.
Saviour's District Board.of Works.
The depatatinn was then called in. The Vestry-
Clerk (Mr. Stormy) then stated that the inhabitant.; of
the district above named felt much satiefaction at the
notice of motion that had been given by a member of the
Board of Werksfor the formation of a new street Wan
the High-street, Southwark, to the West-end. Fur
years the necessity of suck a means of communi-
cation had been felt, and so long ago as 1831
the subject was mooted, and 60,0001. had been ap-
propriated by act of-Parliament from the coal dues to-
wards effecting it, which now with interest amounted
to about 84,0001., and was in the hands of the Commis-
sioners of Woods and Forests.

The deputation having been intarrogated by several
of the members of the board said they had no memorial
or plans to present to the board.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that where an alteration to
be made was likely to exceed the expenditure of 100,000/.
it would be neeessarr for them to apply to Parliament
for additional powers.

The deputation then withdrew.
Mr. Deputy HARRISON complained of the Board re-
ceiving deputations without any memorials to enter on
the records of the 33nard, and suggested that in future
the reception or deputations should be named on agenda
paper.
The CHAIRMAN said the application was received after
the paper was published. In future he would take care
notice of the reception of such boards should be entered
in the notice.
London, England, 1856-02-15

MINUTES OF THE 130.111 D.

Mr. Deputy HARRISON moved that concise minutes
of the proceedings of the board be printed for the infor-
mation of members. He thought the resolutions of the
board, indexed, would answer the purpose of affording
the information required to refresh the memory of the
members of the board on the various questions and sub-
jects that might come under discussion.
Mr. PASCAL seconded the resolution.
Agreed to.

STATE OF TRADE IN THE BALTIC.

the Baltic coast, Several merchantmen belougiag
to English houses had already sailed for Hull and
other harbours of Great Britain, with full cargoes of
oil seeds, tallow, &c. Others were being loaded for
the same destination, at Baltic Port and Bolderae,
in defiance of the proclamation of the Queen of Eng-
land, declaring traitors the subjects of her Crown
who should trade with Russia before peace had re-
established international relations between the tw o
countries. On the other hand, several cargoes o f
English coal bad already reached
revel and itjga.
The merchants of those two Russian cities offered
to sell by contract, as usual, quantities of grain
at prices much inferior to the present reduced rates ,
but the foreigners evinced no disposition to pur-
chase the article, which was to be delivered next May.
Everybody expects that cereals will undergo a still
greater depression at that period. There are in the
decked boats, nerving as stores during winter, and sta-
tioned in all the rivers of the Baltic provinces, immense
supplies of grain and seeds, which are to be landed
in the Russian harbours the moment the thaw sets in.
There will be then such a superabundance of corn the
prices must necessarily experience a further decline, an
this is the principal reason why foreign merchants ab-
stain at this moment from making extensive pu
chases. Your readers may recollect that during tk
bombardment of Sweaborg Rear-Admiral Penaa
established a battery of three howitzers of long rang
on the small island of Abraham. By order of Genera
de Berg, Conimander•in-Chief of the Russian army i
Finland, :a number of Operatives have been put undo
requisition and employed during the winter in levelliu
the island with the surface of the sea, in order to rende
it unfit for the establishment of batteries in the event o
a third camp aign in the Gulf of Finland taking place."

irinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without
r•curring grievous penalties, sod when wisdom and regret succeed
ti a heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
nay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed,

that there isscarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MARSEILLES, Feb. 13.—Shot, shell, and other
materiel de guerre continue to arrive from the
Crimea. These, with supplies received from the
interior by railway, form au arsenal such as it is
declared Marseilles never before possessed. The
French steamer Jacquard arrived here on Sunday.
She brought 100 Russian cannon, 1,800 bomb-shells,
and 260 soldiers. Typhus fever declared itself
among the troops during the passage, and two of
them died in the harbour.

The British sailing transport Lady Suffolk, of
1,300 tons, chartered by the French Government,
arrived on Monday. She was laden with shot,
shell, and cannon unfit for further service.
Private letters received from Algiers, of the 10th
inst., announce that there has been some severe
fighting between the Imperial troops and the
Kabyles. The insurgents were defeated on every
point, but the insurrection is not yet suppressed.
It is at present confined to the mountains of the
Beni-Rates, where it broke out, and where it con-
tinues to be as violent as ever.

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived.
It is said that the number of persons in Spain who
pay 120 reals taxes, and who will consequently be
electors under the new law, is about 650,000. Lord
Howden, the English Ambassador, had sent 10,000
reals to the Governor of Seville for the relief of the
sufferers from the recent inundations. The Nacion
say.; that the Government of the Crnited States has
ordered a frigate to be exclusively employed in
watching the ports from which expeditions against
Cuba may be expected to be sent.

ELECTION OF SOLICITOR.

The Committee recommended the provisional appoint.
ment of a solicitor to the board, on the usnal terms
adopted by corporate bodies, subject to a revision of
those terms at any period.—Agreed to.
Mr. Deputy HARRISON then brought up the report
of the above committee presented to the board on the
Bth iust., with reference to the appointment of clerks in
the secretary's and accountant's office, which was ad-
journed on that day for further consideration, and moved
its adoption. The report recommended the appoint.
ment of 8 assistant clerks, four of the first class and
four of the second class, the former to be paid respec-
tively 3501., 3001., 2501., and 2001., and the later 1201.,
1001., 80/., and 701. per annum. In the nccountant's
office the committee recorded the appointment of three
clerks, at salaries of 1801., 1401., and 1001. per annum
respectively.
A lengthened discussion took place on the difference
of salary recorded between first and second clerks in the
first class, and an amendment was moved that both
clerks should be paid 3501. each.
A division took place, when the numbers were equal,
on which the chairman gave his casting vote in favour
of both of the clerks being paid 3501. per annum each.
It was ultimately agreed that the salaries of the four
first class clerks should be 3501., 3501., 1801., and 1751.
per annum, and that the salaries of the second class
clerks should be 1201., 1001., 001., and 801. per annum.
The other recommendations of the committee were agreed
to without discussion.

Mr. BRISTOWE moved, and Mr. D'IFFANGE seconded,
the motion that the election of the respective officers
take place on Friday next, in a committee of the whole
board, on the ground of its being better to discuss the
qualifications of the respective candidates privately than
publicly. Afier the committee bad decided on whom
the board should elect, then to resolve themselves into
a board and confirm the act of the committee.
