THE LORD MAYOI.'S DAY.

THE BANQUET.
The grand banquet, given by the Lord Mayor and She-
riffs in honour of their accession to office, toak place last
night in the Guildhall. The vastbanqueting-hall presented
a dazzling blaze of light and colour. Jets of gas ran round
the ceiling and ornamented the architectural screen-work
of the hail, and coloured chandeliers, transparencies, me
dallies's, and trophies of flags united to give brilliancy and
animation to the scene. The warlike character of the de-
coratione of last year was now succeeded by transparencies
and paintings illustrative of the happier and more benign
influences of .peace. Above the dais occupied by the Lord
Mayor and the principal guests was a colossal representa-
tion of Peace descending from the skies with the olive
branch, and encouraging Agriculture and Commerce by
her presence. At the opposite end of the hall was a
spirited painting, illustrative of the arts and the impulses
they derive from peace. Poetry, Painting, Sculpture,
Music, and Architecture were here symbolized,
and represented in the active pursuit of their respective
arts. Above this, the western window, was a brilliant gns
star, supplied by Mr. Osler, upon a black ground, which
shed a soft and rich light upon the lower end of the hall.
A plume of feathers, nine feet in height, composed of spun
glass, was placed over the gallery on the south side of the
hall, anda golden figure of Plenty, with a basket of flowers
on her head, stood on either side of the entrance to the
lobbies leading to the council chamber. Around the hall
were medallion portraits of her Majesty and the principal
Sovereigns of Europe, now happily allied to us in peace-
ful relations. The brilliant illuminations and paintings
of the hall, the elegantly dressed ladies :who parti-
cipated in the banquet,, the inilitary, naval, and diplo-
matic costumes which gave variety to the scene, the scar-
let-robes of the jades, sergeants-at-law, and aldentelf;
the flowers and evergreens which were liberally distri-
buted upon the walls, made up together a coup d'ceil of
remarkable beauty and splendour. Among the • earlier
arrivals wan his Royal Highneis the Duke of Cambridge,
who was loudly cheered on entering the hall. Lord Pal
merston was also greeted with an enthusiastic reception.
Among the company were—the late Lord Mayor, the
Duke of Cambridge, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of
Salisbury, Lord Palmerston, Lord Panmuro, Mr. Sheriff
Mechi, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Peruvian
Minister, the Brazilian Minister (Le Commandeur F. J. de
Carvalho Moreira), the Haytian Minister, the Mexioan
Charge d'Affaires, Sir E. Cust, Lord Duncan, M.P., Lord
Castlerosse, M.P., Sir W. F. Williams, M.P., Sir B. Hall,
the Lord Chief Baron, Major-General Sir G. Pollock, the
Lady Mayoress, the late Lady Mayoress, Mr. facriff Keats,
Sir F. Thesiger, M.P., Mr. Justice Haliburton, Colonel
Sykes, Mr. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Baron
Martin, Mr. Justice Crowder, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr.
Justio 'Watson, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr.*Justice
the Earl of Harrowby, Mr. J. Wilson, M.P., Mr. Sergeant
Shee, M.P., Sir J. Duke, M.P., Mr. Massey, M.P., &c.
After dinner the loving cup went round according to
the usual formalities.
The LORD MAYOR then rose and said—Your Royal
Highness, my Lords, ladies, and gentlemen, loyalty to our
Soverei3n is a strong characteristic of the people of this
nation, and I feel that no preface is necessary on my part
to induce you to drink in these ancient halls the health of

the. Sovereign. (Cheers.) I give you " the health of the
Queen," and may a kind Providence long bless her with
health to reign over' a prosperous, happy, and united
people. (Cheers.)
" God save the Queen" was then sung by the vocalists.
, The LORD MAYOR next gave " the health of his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the
rest of the Royal family." (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR.—An unexpected honour and pleasure
have been conferred upon me by the presence of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and I feel assured that
you will all greet him with a hearty welcome. His Royal
Highness has nobly fought the battles of our country, and
has survived the war in which he bore so distinguished a
part. We now have the advantage of his services as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army, and we all anticipate great
public benefit from the superintendence of the army by so
experienced and gallant a general. (Cheers.-) I have much
pleasure in proposing " The Health of the Duke of Cam-
bridge," and may he long live to perform the duties of
Consmander-in-Chief of the army of Great Britain. (Load
cheers.)

The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was greeted with enthu-
siastic applause, said—My LOrd Mayor, ladies, and gentle-
men,—l feel extremely flattered by the very kind manner
in whiifli my health has been proposal and received. I am
at all times proud and happy to have an opportunity of
associating with my fellow-citizens in London, and this is
tho first occasion on which I have h'ad the honour of ad-
dressing thorn since I 4sstuned a more important position

in the public service than I had hitherto hold. I am aware
that, in undertaking the duties of that position, much is
naturally and justly expected from me, but I hope you will
believe rue when I assure you that it , ever has• been, and
will always continue to be, my anxious and earnest desire
to act in such a manner that when, at some future period, I
may have to resign or retire from the post I have now tho
honour to occupy, it will he with the feeling that I have
conscientiously discharged my duty to my country. If by
such a course I gain the good opinion and the kindly feel-
ing of my follow countrymen I shall feel that I have ob-
tained the most gratifying reward that can fall to the lot

nowhere more cordially displayed than in this great
metro
polis, and we are deeply indebted to my excellent friend
the late Lord Mayor for the ability with which he presided
over the banquet given to the Guards. (Cheers.) On behalf
of the army I beg to thank my friend the late Lord Mayor
and the citizens of London for the very handsome compli-
ment they then paid to our troops. (Renewed cheers.) I am
sure also, that the army must be equally gratified by the cor-
dial welcomes which have been accorded to them in the sis-
ter capitals of Dublin and Edinburgh. (Cheers.) The best
reward of a soldier is the kindly approval of his fellow-
countrymen. The people of England have exhibited that
kindly feeling towards the army, and, as at this moment the
representative of the army, I beg to toll you they are
grateful for the compliment. (Loud cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR—We are now at peace with all the
world, but wo must not forget by whom that peace was
achieved, or that everything was due to the gallantry of the
united service. We have some of the noblest ornaments
of that service present among us, men who have gained the
good feeling of those who have witnessed their exploits.
We aro honoured with the presence of one gallant General
who twelve months ago was fighting the battles of his
country and enduring the greatest privations. I trust we
may now long continue at peace with all tho world, and I
give " the Army and Navy," coupling with the toast "the
health of General Sir W. Williams of Kars and of Captain
Milne."

Sir W. WILLIA3U was received with much cheering. He
said he hoped he should have escaped the duty of returning
thanks for the army, since his Royal Highness
Commander-in-Chief was present. Having been called
upon by the Lord Mayor, it was impossible for him
not to rise and endeavour to fulfil the duty imposed
upon him, but he could not help feeling that Sir G.
Pollock was an officer of greater standing and distinction
than himself, who better deserved to have his name as-
sociated with the toast. The Lord Mayor had adverted to
the restoration of peace. Upon former occasions when
' peace was declared the army had been reduced to the low-
est possible number. It was therefore most pleasing to him
to know that we should now have a very fine and noble
army scattered over the land, under the discipline of his
Royal Highness and the able administration of the noble
lord -near him (Lord Panmure). He congratulated his
countrymen upon this circumstance, and ho was sure that
if the old Crimean army should be called on to fight the
battles of their country they would display the same va-
lour, energy, and heroism which distinguished them dur-
ing the late war. (Cheers.)
Captain MiLxz, as a member of the Board of Admiralty,
acknowledged the toast on the part of the navy.
The LORD MA/OR, after gratefully alluding to the ser-
vices of his predecessor in office, next proposed "the
health of the late Lord Mayor." (Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman SALO:4OIIS said he wanted words to ex-
press the gratitude he felt to his fellow-citizens for the
kindness with which they had viewed his efforts to serve
them. Upon the occasion of this banquet occurring last
year ho experienced much anxiety, but he now felt very
proud and grateful for the good opinion which his fellow-
citizens had been pleased to express. He could not sit
down without expressing to his Royal Highness his grati-
tude for the complimentary manner in which he had been
good enough to speak of his humble services. He trusted
the Lord Mayor would derive as much pleasure from his
year of office as he had done. (Cheer's.)
" The health of the Lord Chancellor"
was then proposed
by the LORD MAYOR, and acknowledged by the noble and
learned lord.
The LORD MAY,OR, irt'propesin.:; " The he,i.lth of her Ma-
jesty's Ministers," said they were honored 'by the pr,;.
sense of a member of the Cabinet who had rendered most
impoitant and valuable services to the nation at a period of
its greatest need. That noble lord had carried the country
afely through a panguinary war, and he would now

doubtless turn his attention to such measures es would
maintain the national prosperity in a time of peace.
They had seen that the noble lord had lately employed.
himself in visiting the manufacturing districts, and wher-
ever he presented himself to the people his taleists and
acquirements must be highly appreciated. He begged to
give "the health of Lord Palmerston and her Majesty's
Ministers." .(Loud and prolonged cheering.)
Lord PALMERSTON, who was received with loud cheering,
said—Your Royal Highness, my Lord Mayor, ladies and
gentlemen, for myself and fel- any coljeagues I beg you to
accept our most sincere thanks for the honour you have
done us by the reception you have given• to the toast that
has just been drunk. I can assure you that the goodwill
—I trust I may say the approbation—of our fellow-coun-
trymen must always be the greatest encouragement and
raward of those who are charged with the conduct of pub-
lic affairs: (Cheers.) The different classes in this country
are all deeply occupied with their own avocations, and it
is not often that they have the opportunity of meeting
at such festive boards as that around which we are
assembled ; and on that account, speaking for nip col-
leagues, I may say that we peculiarly prize the opportu-
nity afforded us of receiving in this magnificent hall the
splendid hospitality of this great city, and of hero cement-
ing acquaintanceslaipe—l trust I- am not saying too much
if I call them friendships—which may not only conduce to
our personal comfort -and gratification, but which must
have a useful tendency to facilitate the intercourse of po-
liticians and commercial men in,varieus transactions con-
nected with the business of the country. You, my Lord
Mayor, have adverted to the events of the late war, and
to the peace which has followed. At the commencement cf
the present year this country possessed the finest army and
the most magnificent fleet that were ever engagea in de-
fending the honour and the rights of England. (Cheers.)
aniteeuirit °file emsatela was roused-to-as- hie,- a pitch as
was ever witnessed in this country. (Cheers.) There was
every prospect that, if the war had continued, future suc-
cesses would have been obtained, equal at all events to
those which had crowned the armies of the allies ; but
when we found that we could obtain by negotiatibn terms
of peace which would satisfy our just demands, and which
would secure the future peace and independence of Europe,
we thought it our duty to sheathe the sword, and, in con-
junction with our allies, to put an end to the hostilities
which were at the time' in progress. We were convinced
that the people of England would willingly forego the pro-
spects of future military and naval glory when they were
satisfied that the objects of the war had been substantially
accomplished. It now remains that the conditions of the
peace shall be faithfully executed—(cheers)—and honour-
ably observed—(renewed cheering)—and then I trust
that the peace of Europe will be placed upon a, se-
cure and permanent foundation. (Loud cheers.) The
Lord Mayor has adverted to a visit which I
have just made to , the manufacturing districts of.
this country. It is indeed most gratifying to those
who are charged with the conduct of public affeils to
witness everywhere the industry, the enterprise, I will say
the genius, of the'people of this land—(hear) —to see upon
whet secure foundations the prosperity of the empire rests,
and to augur from the glorious present the future increas-
ing progress of the wealth, the power, and the prosperity
of our common country. (Cheers.) I can only express my
fervent wish that this great city, which is, I may say, the
centre of the commercial wealth and enterprise of the
world, which regulates the commercial affairs of almost
every country on the face of the earth, —may continue for
the future to flourish as it has done in the past ; that it
may continue to be the heart—for so it may be termed—of
this great country, and that it may not only contribute to
the wealth and prosperity of England, but that it may
tend to promote the blessings of peace and civilisation in
every country of the habitable globe: (Cheers.) I again
beg to thank you, ladies and gentlemen, in the name of
my colleagues, and for myself, for the honour you have
done us, and to assure you that nothing can give us greater
pleasure and satisfaction than to have opportunities like
the present of being received at the festive board of the
corporation of this great city. (Loud cheers.)
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said a pleasing duty had de-
volved upon him. He had no doubt the present Lord
Mayor would perform the onerous and responsible duties
of his office in such a way as to add to the esteem and
affection withwhich he was regarded by his fellow-citizens,
and ho therefore proposed that they should drink th•
"Health of the Lord Mayor." (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR was warmly received on rising to re.
turn thanks. He could assure his fellow-citizens that he
felt the same anxiety on entering upon his year of office
which his esteemed predecessor had described, and that
his best exertions should be given to maintain the dignity
and hospitality of the corporation, and to discharge the
duties of his high office. (Cheers.)

The LORD MAYCR said that the maintenance of the
most cordial relations with foreign Stites was desirable,
and to this end foreign Ministers and representatives were
necessary. They were honoured by the presence of several
members of the corps diplonvatique, and he begged to pro-
pose their health in connection with that of the Brazilian
Minister. (Cheers.)

The BRAZILIAN MINISTER rose and spoke as follows
My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen,— In the name of the
diplomatic body of which I have the honour to be the re-
presentative on this occasion, I have to return my cordial
thanks for the toast which has been just given by the Lord
Mayor. The corps diplonzatique, whose presence here is
the symbol of the good relations which subsist among the
nations, see in the feast which inaugurates the election of
your chief magistrate a special motive for taking part in
the rejoicings which reign in this hall. Charged with the
duty of reconciling the lawful interests of their respective
countries when unfortunately in conflict, the representa-
tives of foreign powers are nevertheless the agents of peace,
the only sure basis of the civilisation, wealth, and pros-
perity of nations. The festivities of this day renew the

that there had been so great an infusion of the democratic
element into the House of Commons that it would not re-
strict itself within the limits prescribed by the constitu-
tion. Now, however, they were told that the House of
Commons had fallen into a state of inefficiency, but he
thought he could confidently appeal to the course pursued
by the House of late years as a sufficient answer to the ac-
cusation. (Cheers.) The House of Commons had not

cluded, and the House of Commons would be enabled to
devote its entire attention to those reforms which were
demanded by the voice of the people. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR next gave "the health of the

The LORD MAYOR said he was instructed by the Lady
Mayoress to say that she was greatly indebted to his lord-
ship and the company for the kind manlier in which the
toast had been prcposed and received. The Lady Mayoress
wished him to assure the company that nothing should be
wanting on her part to uphold the hospitality of the City
of London.
The concluding toasts were " Sir P. Thesiger and the
bar," " Sir J. Duke and the members of the city of Lon-
don," and " Mr. Alderman Wire and the Magistrates of
the City."
Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster with his usual effi.
ciency. Among the vocalists were Miss Birch, Miss Eyles,
and the members of the Orpheus Glee Union. The bard
of the Coldstream Guards, under the superintendence of
Mr. Goirrev. were also in ,Ittenilance, an,l p,,forma,i

The Lord Mayor and the piinoipal guests then retired,
and the company repaired to the various lobbies and
chambers of the Guildhall, which were decorated with groat
taste and magnificence. The Mbies at the south entrancv

iato the Guildhall were lined with an imitation of the
Bayeaux tapestry, paiated by Mr. C. Fenton. Next the walls
commencing at the entrance door were arranged figures of
men in armour and trophies from the 13th century, con-
eluding with tho Minie rifle as the latest improvement in
military weapons. The first lobby, after passing through
the banqueting. hall, contained a statue of the " eagle-
slayer," by Bell, and a statue of " Genius chained," by
Durham. On the north side of the aldermen's court-room a
large temporary conservatory was fitted up, in the centre of
which was a colossal statue of Australia by Bell, backed up
with a picture representing Melbourne, painted by Mr. F.
Fenton. In the yard on the western side of the alderman's
room was a representation of the Stanbach, near Inter-
lachen, in Switzerland, also painted by Mr. Frederick Fen-
ton. In the alderman's room was a bust of the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor, by Lough ; the statue of Dorothea, by
Bell ; and Whittington, by Cracow. In the committee-
room, adjoining the Council chamber, were placed a bust of
her Majesty, and statues of the Princess Louisa and the
Princess Helena on either side, by Mr. and Mrs. Thorney-
croft. In a niche in the Council-chamber were displayed
the marble bust of the Queen, by Durham, presented to
the Corporation by Sir Francis G. Moon, on retiring from
his mayoralty in 1855 ; also a picture of the late Lord
Mayor, Mr. David Salmons, by Hart. A complete range
of mirrors was also fixed at the west end of the banquet.
ing hall, reflecting the entire hall and banquet, and numer•
ous banners, mirrors, and choice plants, were also taste-
fully arranged in the various lobbies and passages. Danc-
ing commenced in the Council-chamber after the banquet,
and was continued for some time under the disadvantages
of confined space and a great crowd.

THE MINISTER OF•PIjBLIC WORKS AND Tlll
• METROP O.I;MN BOARD.

THE DEPUTATION ON TFIE SOUTHWARK
IMPROVE vIENTS..
Yesterday the deputation appointed by the Mkre.
politan Board of Works to carry up the plan for the
new street through Seuthwark, to relieve the traffic
through the City, waited upon the Right Hoe. Sir Ben•
jamin Hall at his office in Whitehall-place, to present
the plan for his sanction under the provisions of the
act of parliament.
The deputation consisted of Mr. John Thwaites, the
president ; .I.lr. Alexander Wraght, Mr Charles Harris,
Mr. Bazelgette, engineerio chief ; Mr. E H. Wooltych,
secretary; and Mr. Marrable, the superintending archi-
tect of the board. There were two other deputations of
inhabitants who claimed to be heard before the chief
cornruissioner, objecting to the plan of the metropolitan
board.
Mr. THWAITES having introduced the deputation,
Sir B. HALL called attention to tl:e discrepancy which
had taken place between the statement of Mr. Bozelgette
and that of the Erith deputation on the sulsjec: of the
main drainage as to the distance of the outfall marked B
from the metropolitan b undary.
Mr. BAZALGETTE said when there fhe othar day be'
stated the distance of the proposed outfall to he one mile
and a quarter from the metropolitan boundary ou the
south Rids, and not two miles and a half.
Sir B. HALL—I certainly understood Mr. Bazaloette
to say the distance was two miles and a half.
Mr. BAZALGETTE—Two miles and a half below Wool-
wich but one and a quarter from the metropolitanbouto
dary.
Sir B. HALL measured it on the plan, and said it ap-
peared to him to be just a mile. There was one i inportan t
point, however, upon which he wanted information, and
that was, bad the Metropolitan Board any calculation as
to the amount of sewage discharged into the Thames from
each side of the river /
Mr. BAZAIdETTE—Yes. There is about 7 million and
a quarter hphic feet of sewage discharged into the
Thames per day— 6 millions on the north side and ono
million and a quarter on the south.
Sir B. HALL said they would now take theSouthwark
improvements, beginning at London-bridge.
Mr. THWAITES said, before entering upon the plan, he
would just observe that the act which at propriates one
of the 30,0001. in the hands of Government for this
purpose, distinctly pointed to an opening from London-
bridge to Stamford-street. Believing, therefore, that
to be the intention of Parliament, the Metropolitan
Board had constructed their line iu accordance with
it. The line, it would be observed, began slightly
below the obelisk in Wellington-street, at the south
corner of York-street, without interfering with St.
Saviour's Church, continuing on the north tide
across Red Lion street and Counter-street, avoiding
the Borough-market, which being corporate property
would be very expenaiee. It then avoids a clump
of almshouses caged the College Alrnsliouees, having a
burial-ground and a church in the centre, passing ciose
to Messre. Barclay and Perkins's brewery, which occu-
pied 11 acm, and which. was not touched ; ac, if it
were, the outlay would exceed the cost or the-iiiitire
thoroughfare. It then passed on to the Southwark-
bridge-road, taking off a small part of Messrs. Pott's
extensive vinegar work., thence to the north of AI.-sir.i.
Easton and Amos's ironfoundrv, continuing its curse to
the south-west angle of some re her almshouses, and on
to a point marked on the plan B in the Reckfriars road,
exactly opposite Stamford street. Mr. Thwaites con-
tinued to say that although upon the plan tip, street ap-
peared to present a considerable curve, still upon the
large scale of its construction it would be scarcely per
ceptible, but it was absolutely necessary in order to avoid
the enormous expense of trenching upon the valuatde
properties he had r ferred to. The proposed width of
the street was 70 feet from front to front, with 12 feet
footpath on either side.
Sir B. HALL could assure them that he had bad a
great many people coming to him upon the subject. He
had been thinking very deeply upon it, and now he: had
got the plan agreed to by the board, he would set to
work at it that afternoon and endeavour to give his an-
swer by Thursday, which would only be three days io
the whole for him to go into the sutject. It would he
as well that the Metropolitan Beard should have its
Parliamentary notices prepared far the newspapers and
advertised. If he (Sir B. Hall) could not assent, the
only expense would be that of the notices.
Mr. WOOLRYCH observed that the notices must be
sent to the Surrey papers on Wednesday, as they were
published on Thursday.
Mr. THWAITES thought, with a little judicious action
on both the part of the Chief Commissioner and the
ta.ard, they might save this session.
Sir B. HALL was most anxious to prevent so important
a matter going over to another session, and would do ail
he could to prevent it.
Mr. THWAITES knew the whole district so well, that
he was quite sure the more it was inquired into, the
more those who did so would approve of it. It was so
arranged, that whenever there might be a new bridge
erected between Westminster and London, this line of
street would be available.
Sir B. HALL observed, that as to Westminster Bridge,
it would no doubt be befae Parliament the next cession.
As he had no other deputations, it might be advisable
that they should inform him what objections they knew
likely to be urged against this plan of the board.
Mr. Tnwarrxssaid there was one plan which proposed
to pass between that of the Metropolitan Board's plan
and the river, which was objectionable, as it took down
a portion of the Borough-market and of Messrs. Barclay
and Perkins's brewery. It also passed where the levels
for the sewers were taken, and was 18 feet below the
surface of Southwark-bridge-road. There was another
proposal that the street should commence further down
the Borough, taking away the clamp of houses and the
old Town-hall. Some bad an idea also that it should
commence at Union-street, through the narrow streets
to the New-cut, and so on to the Waterloo-road. The
objection the board felt to these proposals was that they
would not be able to get a first-class street likely to let
for building purposes, such as they proposed. The es-
timate for the street was 320,0041.
Mr. MARRABLE begged to add that Messrs. Barclay
and Perkins approved of the plan of the board.
Mr. THWAITES said that there was another reason for
making the opening of the street where they proposed,
and that was the probability of the entire site of St.
Thomas's Hospital being purchased by the railway com-
panies for an extension of their terminus.
The deputation from the Metropoltan Board then re-
tired.
The second deputation consisted of Mr. Newsom, Mr.
Tomk ins, Mr. Myland, Mr. .Monery, Mr. Bailey, and
Mr. Newman, on the part of the inhabitants of High-
street, Southwark, introduced by Mr. Harris, member
of the Metropolitan Board of Works for the district.
Mr. NEWSOM said the inhabitants of the Borough
were seriously affected by the stoppage of the thorough.
fare, which commenced at the narrow part, caused by
the projecting clump of houses, commencing with the
Town Hall. Instead of the opening far the new street
commencing at York-street, they desired that the open-
ing should be lower down to the south, including the
removal of the projecting clump of houses, as al o the
Town Hall. This plan could be carried out at an esti-
mated cost of 41,009/ less than the plan proposed by the
Metropolitan Beiixel. It was something like Mr. Penne.
ammo's plan, which eeas generally approved.
Sir B. HALL said all .129 could do was to approve of
the plans generally, if be felt it his duty to sanction them
at all, and then it would be Leff; with the locality to use
its influence with the Metropolitan Board, to could
carry out the line at any point not beyond the lines of
deviation marked out on their plan.
The deputation thanked Sir B. Hall for his courtesy
and withdrew.
The third deputation described itself as an windep enr.-
dent" deputation; and consisted of Mr. Vicars,
ivi Mr.
Richardson, Mr. Slee, Mr. Benbow, Mr. Robinson,lforthe
Jordan, and Mr. Taylor, the projector of a
new line referred to by Mr. Thwaites, passinP.ganbetween

In answer to questions from Sir B. Hall, although the
plaP showed that it was proposed to take down part of

PRIOI4 4D. STAMPED -

Barclay and 'Perkins's brewery, and to pass under the
Southwark-bridge-road.
Mr. TAYLOR now said that he proposed to cross
Southwark-bridge-road on a level, the height being 16
feet at. that point.
Sir B. HALL then inquired for the details of the plan
showing the gradients of the ascent and descent to and
from the South wark-bridge-road.
Mr. TAYLOR said he had not prepared them, but would
have them ready in the course of a couple of days.
Sir B. HALL begged to inform the deputation that be
had only till Thursday to give his decision upon the en-
tire plans for the Southwark improvements, and here
was a proposal to ascend and descend to and from South-
wark bridge-road, and a mere superficial plan had been
laid before hiee' without any information upon that point
which was of the first and highest importance, as it stood
to reason that the effect of raising a road 16 feet, which
he thought was more likely to be from 20 to 25 feet to
the top of Southwark-bridge-road, would be to leave the
rest of the neighbourhood in a perfect swamp. He would
ask what would the inhabitants of that neighbourhood
say were he to sanction such a plan ?
Mr. R.IC7ARIDS expressed his astonishment a the state
' merit made by Mr. Taylor, as he and his colleagues die
tinctly understood that there were to be no gradients,
nut that they were to pass westwerd by means of an arch
under the Southwark-bridge-road. The fact was, the
deputation had been sold. (Laughter.)
Sir J. HALL—But if you go under Southwark-bridge..
road by means of an arch how is the traffic over South-
wark-bridge to get into the main line of street ?
Mr. VICKERS—They will have to go round to it a little
distance.

the plan produced was in,,Ft olj, cuoLable, arid hr sh,u'd

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF TBE BRITISH
GERMAN LEGION AT PORTSMOUTH.

Yesterday wereported the trouble that had been caused
at Portsmouth and Gosport' by the disorganised state
and riotous proceedings of the British German Legion,
or a portion of it, now stationed at the camp at Brown-
down, five miles from Gosport. The proceedings on
Saturday were of the most riotous character. The win-
dows of private houses were wantonly broken at Gos-
port, and eeveral civilians arci British soldiers ill-used.
In Po sea the state of matters was almost worse. A
quarrt ',ensued between some of the men of the legion,
who wr:.'e drinking together at a beer-house in a street
°died White's-row, and a souffle and fight was the
re-ult. Knives were used, and fit ally one man -of the
legion was so severely stabbed I hat he died a .
most instantaneously. The embarkation of 1,200 men of
tee legion was fixed for Monday, but the proceedings
of Saturday evening-were of so riotous a character as
to render it a matter of the greatest danger to allow the
men to remain on shore another night. The civil por.
tion of the community 10, ked forward, indeed, to Sunday
night with alarm. Happily the authorities determined
to embark the men on Sunday afteincAbn, and accord
ingly marched them from Browedowni at half-past two,
and at halt-past four they arrived at the dockyard for
embarkation on board the Sultana and Culloden. Net
a moment was lot in betting them on board ; they all
being embarked in at.oul a quarter of an hnnr. The men
on this, occasion, inileea, were very pe,ceable and well-
conducted. They numbered about 800, probably the
steadier men of the detachment for embarkation on that
day, vs the others necessary to make up the total of
1,200 were straggling about the town. Ample measures
had, ho wever, been taken to preserve order and the
safety of the dockyard. The ordinary military guard
had been doubled or trebled. The jetties from which
the Germans embarked were guarded by 30 or 40 men
of the line each, with fixed bayonets,-&c , whilst, in
addition to the ordinary guard -around Vie. dockyard,
there was a strong reserve of upwards of 100 men, who'
had strict orders to quell the slightest disturbance. So
good were the arrangements that in a minute or two
there could have been brought to bear a tremendous
force of troops, marines, &c., irrespective of those who
were immediately charged with the preservation of peace,
and who themselves would have been more than equal

cemoany present.
Mr. Cumberland having bri:4ly stlted the nature of
the prose-dingo,
Capt. Wm. Stratt entered upon a statement respecting
his nautical services under the company far a period of
18 years, from July, 1844, as midshipman, third officer,
second fficer, and commander. During the whole of his
service at sea he had never met with any mishap until
the loss of the Tay, to the command of which he was
appointed in May last. He then stated that they left
Havannah on the 25th•of August, and described the
course pursued thence till the morning when the vessel
stranded. He also put in the night order-book, in which
the order of course was entered. He left the deck at ,
about 11 o'clock the night before the ship struck, leaving
directions hew the vessel was to be steered ; returned at
a quarter to 2, and remained till the ship struck at ton
minutes past 5. After the chief officer came on deck
at 4 o'clock, witness dozed off on one of the seats, and
dreamed that the vessel had struck just as it occurred
afterwards. He started up. It was then a quarter to
5. Went forward to the forecastle, where the chief
officer was. The first glimpse of daylight was then
showing. Witness. noticed something on the horizon,
and then ran to get his glass. The vessel struck almost
immediately. The witness described the various steps
taken after the vessel had stranded, the despatch of.
the mails to Tampico, Ica. Witness • attributed the
disaster to the influence of an extraordinary current
running southward, the said current having been caused
by a heavy hurricane which it- was subsequently learned
had blown on the 276 h and 23th of August, on the north
side of Cuba. Such a hurricane passing from S.E. or
E S.E. w,mld produce what, was known as a "storm-
wave," which latter, preceded by a large body of water,
would continue its course until it broke upon some.
shore, however distant. The Tay, passing a dangerous
part, of the coast exactly at the time the "storm-wave"
was approaching, felt the effects of its current without
warning, and just struck in time to experience the disas-
trous eff.-cts of the way, itself.
Mr. W. T. Rawer, third officer, Mr. Herbert, second
efficer, and other witne4ses, also Lieut. Stewart, R.N.,
Admiralty officer in charge of the mails on board the
Tey, having been examined, and expressed a similar
opinion (as to the cause of the vessel's stranding, the
inquiry was adjourned.

The inquiry into the logs of the Royal Mail steamer
Tay was requmed yesterday morning, at the Greenvtioh
Police Court, brfora Mr. Trail, the magistrate, and Cap•
tain Robertson, R.N.

Mr. Macintosh, the first officer, Mr. Herbert, the se-

wag u,tral to use the patent log, so as to confirm their
calculations. Knew Captain Strutt to be a careful
officer.

Captain! Liott, one of the managers of the company,
said the disuse of the log was a strong act of disobe-
dience of the company's regulation. The company had
never permitted the working of the ship by the rate
which the engineer's nave the officers of the watch. It
could not he accurate. He entertained a strong opinion
as to whether the lead ought not to have been used ao-
cording to the company's regulations.
Captain Robertson said that was only where the cap-
tain entertained a doubt. In this instance Captain Strait
bad a strong belief that he was much further off the
land than he was ; indeed 20 miles from the land.
After some further unimportant remarks, the inquiry
closed.
The court remarked that they were satisfied as to the
existence of the current spoken of, but it would be a
matter of consideration for their report to the Board of
Trade whether the captain had observed the usual regu-
lations and precautions in navigating the ship.

We have to announce the death of Lieut.-General Sir
J. Holt, K.C.8., Colonel of the 2d (or Queen's) Royal
Regiment, which appointment is rendered vacant by his
demise. Sir J. Holt's death will, coupled with those of
Lord Harding° and the late Gen. Jones, create a vacancy
in the list of general officers, by which Col. Greases, late
on the staff in Ireland, becomes a Major-General ; Lieut.
Colonel Alves, of the Depot at Preston, Colonel ; and
Major Hickey, of the filth Foot, Lieut.-Colonel.
SERVICES OF LIFE BOATS.-7-RAIISGATE, Nov. 6.—On
the 4th inst., at 10 15 p.m , the light vessels fired alarm
guns with rocket signals, and being as usual all ready,
the steamer Aid, and the Northumberland life-beat, bw•
longing to the Ramsgate Royal Harbour Trust, were at
sea in exactly 11 minutes. They proceeded to the Gull
Light-vessel for instructions, and then made way in the
direction pointed out to them. They skirted the whole
of the shoal, but saw no signal of distress or vessel. They
spoke the lugger Charlotte Ann, of Ramsgate, the crew
replying that they had seen nothing. They raised about
till 2 a.m., and returned to the haibour at 2.4oa:in. At
