STREET NOMENCLATURE.

Mr. D'IFFANGER asked permission to withdraw that
portion •f his report on street nomenclature, which sug-
gested the baptismal table of certain streets and places,
with the names of certain members of the metropolitan
beard.

The CHAIRMAN stated that several strong protests had
been sent in to the board on the particular question.
Mr. Deputy HARRISON protested against any report
from a committee being altered or modified after it bad
been printed.
Mr. CARPMAEL had been told that the report had re
appeared in the Observer, and he tnr. Carpmael) treated
it as a joke—(laughter)—and he was surprised to find
his own name among the number.
The CHAIRMAN said that no copy was sent to the
newspapers from that board.
The discussion then dropped.
STREET PROJECTIONS.

A. third application was received from Mr. Jas. Botty
asking the consent of the board to the extension of the
bar of his house seven feet beyond the present front, four
feet being given to the footway.
Mr. 13nusLEm, as a member of the vestry in which the
premises are situate, said he only yesterday inspected
them, and he believed that if the house was brought out
as requested, the erection would be unobjectionable.
This subject led to a long and animated discussion, it
being contended that it was the duty of that board to pre-
vent such erections, as they tended to diminish the width
of the public thoroughfares, and to interrupt the free cir-
culation of light and air.
The application was then put in the form of a motio❑
and negatived.
After some uninteresting business being disposed of,
the board adjourned.

PROTEST AGAINST THE DECISION OF THE BOARD AS TO

THE OUTFALL OF THE METROPOLITAN DRAINAGE.

Mr. Crelila handed in the folio wing protest against
tho decision of the majority of the board in favour of the
engineer's plan marked B"
" 1. Because the discharge of the sewage into the River
Thames at the place indicated by such plan is calculated to
injure the health of those residing in the neighbourhood,
and of all persons passing up and down the part of the
river.

" 2. Because no inquiry has been made by the board as
to the probability of disposing of the sewage of the metro-
polis for agricultural purposes, in harmony with the engi-
neer's report of the 25th September,pages 7 and B,in which
is the following statement :—` The substitution of deodo-
rising works for reservoirs at Barking Creek and Plum-
stead Marshes involves the smallest expenditure of capi-
tal, but the largest annual outlay. The capital would not ,
therefore, be irrevocably sunk ; and this plan presents the
following advantages—viz., that if the sewage manure
should be found to be of a commercial value, it would be
valuable for sale ; or should any mode hereafter be dis-
covered by which it could be rendered more profitable, or
deodorised more economically, advantage could hereafter
be taken of any such improvements. On the other hand,
should it appear that the solid manure was altogether
valueless, a considerable saving might be effected in the
manufacture, by merely precipitating, deodorising, and
carrying it away, and thus dispensing with the drying
process and preparation for sale. This process would, I
conceive, entirely remove the sewage from the river, and
in a practical point of view; and by preserving the sewage
in a dry, inoffensive, and portable condition, it would test
the very prevalent opinion that metropolitan sewage can
tins profitably be applied to agriculture. A further saving
of probably nearly half a million might, however, be
effected by terminating the sewers and establishing deodo-
rising works nearer to London, say in the Greenwich
marshes on the south side of the river, and the West Ham
marshes on the north side, which would, in our judgment,
accomplish the object desired without creating a nuisance.'

THE ARCTIC SHIP RESOLUTE.

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 19.

To-day having been especially fine, the ship has been
visited by numerous parties, who have been shown over
her with the politest attention by the American officers.
The ship was handsomely dressed in colours in honour of
the Queen's return to Gosport to-day, and her accommo-
dation ladder was decorated in the event of any visit
from the Royal yacht being made. On the Fairy passing
up the harbour to the Clarence-yard the officers mounted
the bulwarks and the crew the rigging, and gave three
times three hearty cheers, led off by the vice consul, Che-
valier Pappalardo, who, in the absence of Capt. Hart-
stein, attended on board, Her Majesty and Prince
Albert graciously acknowledged the enthusiastic greeting
of the Americans by repeatedly bowing from the gang-
way of the Fairy.
Capt. Hartstein has accepted the invitation of the
Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth to dine with them
on Wednesday next. The banquet will .be provided by
Mr. Digby Dent, of the Portland Hotel, at the hall of
tha Beneficial Society in Portsea. The British officers
formerly in the Resolute who are now in England will,
we believe, he invited to meet their American brethren.
This is the only entertainment the American visitors can
avail themselves of, owing to an order for their speedy
return to the United States, whither they will be con-
veyed in her Majesty's first-class paddle steam frigate
Retribution, 28, Captain Barker. A telegraphic order
came down from the Admiralty to-day, stopping all
leave from the Retribution, and recalling all officers and
men who are absent.
Among the distinguished persons who visited the
Resolute to-day were Major-General Breton (the Lieut.-
Governor of Portsmouth) and Staff, Colonel Eyre,
Commandant of the Royal Artillery in the South-West
District, &c.
To-morrow evening the captain and officers of the
Resolute will be entertained at dinner by Vice-Admiral
Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief,
who has invited a distinguished circle to meet them at
the Admiralty.
Captain Hartstein received an invitation to-day to
visit -Viscount Palmerston at Broadlands, and he will go
on Monday in the company of Vice-Admiral Sir George
Seymour.
