The board was afterwards occupied a considerable
' time in hearing a statement of Mr. Badger, district sur-
veyor, in answer to a complaint of Mr. Harding, a
builder residing at Lewisham. The point was wh9ther
sufficient notice had been given by the district surveyor
that a certain bow window, in a house in the course of
erection by Harding, was cumtrary to the act.
A division was taken, when the statement of Mr,
Bolger was decided to be unsatisfactory.
A report was brought up from the Committee of
Works and Improvements, recommending that the
necessary surveys be forth with made for widening Union-
street, Southwark, in conformity with the reconmenda-
Lion of Mr. Irvine in his suggestion for improvements in
the borough of Southwark, and also that Messrs. Smith
and Son should be allowed 7001. for their professional
services for the twelve months, beginning Ist Novem-
ber, 1856, and ending 31st October, 1857.
That part of the report relative to the Messrs. Smith
was received.

Mr. TURNER then moved the second part of the re-
commendation, viz., that surveys be forthwith made for
widening Union-street, Southwark.
Mr. FEW said if the new street in Southwark, was
to be made, be could not see wby this survey should
take place. He could not understand the use of widen-
ing Union•street, without it was intended to shelve the
making of the new street in the Borough.

A ter a short discussion, that part of the report rela
tive to the widening of Union-street was withdrawn.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

THE WATFORD AND HEMEL HEMPSTEAD BANK,-IN

WM. SMITH.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of this
bankrupt (Mr. Smith, a solicitor), surviving partner of
the banking firm of Smith and Whittingstall, of the
Watford and Hemel Hempstead Bank.

It will no doubt be recollected that on the death of
the other partner proceedings were taken to wind up the
affairs in bankruptcy, and it was subsequently proposed
to conclude the matter under the private arrangement
clauses, but the case was adjourned into open court.
Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees, and Mr.
Chidley, Basinghali•street, for creditors.

Several proofs were tendered, and, after some discus-
sion, admitted ; but, in consequence of the nature of the
accounts, the bankrupts having also been in partnership
with a Mr. Edward Fearnley, also deceased, no balance•
sheet hal been filed, and a further ajournment took
place for six weeks.

IN RE WATSON AND ENSOR.
To-day was appointed for the last examination of these
bankrupts, the first being described as of Artillery-place,
Finsbury-square, mining agent, and Ensor as of Coptball-
buildings, dealer in shares ; but, no accounts having
been filed, an adjournment took place till the 3d of
January next.

e
Mr. Plews appeared for the assignees, Mr. Stubbs Ar
Watson, and Mr. Chidley far Ensor.

CORN EXCHANGE.
There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on

most kinds ruled heavy. Selected samples of both red and
white were held at full quotations, but tho value of other
kinds was almost nominal.
Over 14,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to

was limited. In prices, however, no change took place.
Floating cargoes of grain were held at full currengies.
The show of barley was only moderate, yet the trade
ruled heavy, at barely late rates. Malt was firm, but not
dearer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
We had a very indifferent show of beasts in to-day's
market. The few prime breeds on offer sold at Monday's
prices ; otherwise the beef trade ruled heavy, and late
rates were barely supported. Sheep, the supply of which
was limited, moved off slowly; but wo have no change to
notice in the quotations. The top figure for Downs was
5s per 81b3. There was an increased show of cal►es, and
the veal trade was depressed, at a decline in value of from
41 to 6d per Sibs. Pigs sold slowly on former terms. Mulch
cows were dull, at from 14/. to 191. each, including their
small calf.

IVIETROPOLIT.AN BOARD OF WORKS.

The Board assembled this day in the Council Cham
ber, Guildhall. Mr. Tiiwaites in the chair.
Tile mintres of the last Court having been read,
A deputation from the Vestry of the parish of Ro.
therhithe was introduced, and presented a memorial
relative to the formation of a park in that place.
Mr. LEGGE, on the part of the memorialists, stated
that the ground proposed to be taken comprifed 32
acres in the parish of Bermondsey, and 54 in Railer-
hithe. It was at present partly occupied by market
gardeners, and the expense of making the proposed park
would amount to 40,0001. The land would cost 32,0001.,
and after the park had been laid out, it could be kept in
order for about 2001. per annum.
The memorial was ordered to be received.
