METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

A meeting of this board was held yesterday, in
the Council Chamber, Guildhall. The President
(J. Thwlites, Esq.) took the chair at 12 o'clock.
The cash statement for the current week shows a
total general balance of £286,109 3s. 6d.
Tenders for the Ranelagh Storm Overflow hay-
jag been received, they were opened. The follow-
ing are the particulars :—The engineer's estimate
was £24,640. Rummens, £35,600; Newton,
£29,690 ; Moxon, £27,600 ; Dethick, £23,500 ;
Robinson, £24,963 ; Hill, £25,926 , Batterby,
£26,500 ; Thirsk Lavers, £26,317 ; Row, £29,689 ;
Bird, £26,779; Hare, £30,765; and Treadwill,
£35,455.

The tender of Mr. Treadwill was accepted, upon
the usual conditions.

A report was received from the Finance Commit-
tee, recommending (among other things) that the
sum of £20,000 be transferred from the Victoria,
Park approach deposit account to the general cur-
lent account of the board, in order to meet the pre-
sent emergencies of the board.
The recommendation was adopted, upon the
understanding that the interest being made by the
deposit should be added to the fund when it is re-
stored.

Mr. LESLIE, pursuant to notice, put the follow-
ing question (among several others) to the chief
engineer :—" Whether the main intercepting drain
age of the Northern Middle Level Area, commenc
ing westward at the western arm of the Counter's
Creek Main Sewer, at Kensal-green, through High-
street, Notting hill, eastward, the whole length of
the Uxbridge-road, Oxford-street, New Oxford,-
street, and so on to Sir George Duckett's Canal,
whether the whole of this middle level area was not
reported to the board that its levels are at such ele-
vations that the whole area, about 17 square miles,
could be drained by gravitation to the level of high
water, at Barking Creek, and that the scheme would
' relieve the tßanelagh Sewer from the floods to
which it has hitherto been subjected, and obviate
the overflow of storm waters into the Serpentine
during heavy rains ?' "
Mr. BAZALGETTE'S answer to this inquiry was,
that he had so reported on the 22d of May, 1856,
but on mature consideration he had come to the
conclusion that the same objects could be gained
without increasing the cost by diverting the storm
waters through the new sewer now about to be con-
structed through Hyde Park.

PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented praying for a more effi-
cient provision for the poor blind in Ireland ; in favour of
the repeal of the excise duty on paper; from Lancashire,
to the effect that the house should maintain its privileges
intact in respect to originating bills of taxation; against
the repeal of the wine duty, &c.

Lord R. MONTAGU moved for a return of the amount
of Excise duties collected during the past financial year,
showing, in separate columns, those collected in the metro-
politan districts, and those collected in the rest of the
United Kingdom, and distinguishing each branch of re-
venue ; also, a return showing, in two columns, the amount
of assessed taxes levied in the metropolitan districts, and

PUGILISM.

CHAMPIONSHIP.—SAYERS AND IIEENAN.—The new j
belts that are to be presented to the erewhile combatants
will, we are informed, be ready by Wednesday next, an
order for them to be finished .by that time having been given
to the manufacturer. The presentation of them to each of
the champirns will take place at Cremorne with due cere-
mony. After they have been buckled round the loins of
the men, they will with the glove, and in mimic fight, dis-
play those masterly points which in actual contest charac-
terised their memorable passage of arms. The satisfactory,
• and we will add judicious, arrangement of the stakeholder,
has been such that nothing should give rise to unpleasant
or irritating feeling between the men. Both had done
enough to test their courage and skill in their struggle for
the belt.

Now that the affair is settled, and the heat of contending
partisanship has cooled, we may pay a just tribute to the
stakeholder and referee with the more satisfaction, because
nothing that we may now express can in any way whatever
give offence to either one side or the other, nor at the same
time in any way affect the ease. We know something of
the thankless and unprofitable office of referee, and know
too well how ready men are to find fault and cavil at a de-
cision, no matter whether right or wrong, as their interests
or prejudices may sway them. The prevalent impression
among those who saw the fight, and were most conversant
with the past doings of the ring, was that men who had
done so much ought not to be permitted to meet again. As
may be anticipated, the display that will take place on
Wednesday will be but the prelude to a series of joint bene-
fits, for there can be no doubt that Sayers and Heenan,
after appearing in the metropolis, will go on a provincial
tour, when there can be no doubt they will meet with a
warm reoeption.

gaited oA Wednesday next aro fttoiMilON) lug ilow to 1).

THE Mooßs.—The breeding season of the grouse
in this locality is exceedingly favourable in every respect.
The coveys are largo in number aed remarkably strong,
affording promise of excellent sport for crack shots on the
12th. In the neighbouring parts in Ayrshire, we believe,
there has been some mortality among the grouse, conse-
quent on the effects of the severe winter; but this will not,
affect the sport of the ensuing soason to any appreciable ex.
tent. Hares are plentiful in the low lands hereabouts, and
there is a good appearance of partridges.—Greenoth Ad_
tvrtieer. . _

SCOTTISH COMMERCE,—A new vein of mineral
has been opened up at Burnbrae, on the estate of Sir W.
Baillie, awl about a mile to the south east of the celebrated
Terbanehill coalfield. The available strata are a seam of
parrot or gas coal, two seams of coal of excellent quality
for household or steam purposes, and a seam of first-
class ironstone. The Bathgate Chemical 'Works devoted
to the manufacture from Boghead coal of burning and lu-
bricating oils, paraffin candles, &c., are about to be oonsi-
derably extended. Last week's shipments of Scotch pig-
iron were on a fairly. extensive scale, having been 13,600
tons, as compared with 13,755 tons in the corresponding

TEMPTATIONS TO STEAL.—EXPOSING GOODS FOR
ISvAiLisEon,OaugzesdlDl6E,
aLndsrEEEINIeDnRSAIEIRivaa'n,SH 0 P s.—Sarah Ann
fore Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 30 yards of hucka-
back towelling, value 135., from the shop door of Messrs.
Haddock and Selby, linendrapers, at the corner of Gros-
venor-street, Commercial-road East.
Mr. Francis Haddock said he received information from
a neighbour that two girls had stolen a roll of huckaback
from the doorway outside the shop, and had gone down
Old Church-road, better known as Mud•dane, Stepney. He
went in pursuit of them, and overtook them in Mud-lane.
One of the girls had the property in her possession, and he
gave both into custody.
Mr. Selfe—There have been several cases of stealing
goods outside your shop investigated in this curt. Why
do you expose your goods for sale in that way, and tempt
people to steal ?
Mr. Haddobk —We have our eyes on the goods, sir.
Mr. Selfe—No, you have not, indeed. Your eyes were not
on that large roll of huckaback. You did not even know
it was stolen until a neighbour informed you.

Mr. Haddock—lt was in the corner of the door-way.
ouvp wuere IL ougot not to
have been.

The prisoners said they were guilty of stealing the huck-
aback. They picked it up on th 4 pavement outside Had-
dock and Selby's shop.

Mr. Selfe—lt was very easy to be carried off. The pro-
secutors ought to have a watch-boy to look after their
goods if they will expose them for sale outside their shops.
I convict the prisoners of larceny, and sentence them to
three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House
of Correction.

A FIT SUBJECT FOR A REFORMATORY.—Mary Ann
Hutchard, a girl aged 12, was brought before Mr. Selfo
charged with robbing her mother of 2s. 7d., which she took
off a table in her parent's room, at No. 24, Park-street, Pop-
lar, on Saturday night last.

Mary Ann Hutchard, the mother of the prisoner, who
was a state of great affliction, said her daughter was a very
bad girl indeed, and had frequently robbed her. The girl
stopped away from her home all the week, and was found
in very bad company yesterday in Emmett-street, Poplar.
The girl had been once imprisoned for felony and sen-
tenced to hard labour. She implored the magistrate to
save her child, and send her to an asylum, if he had thB
power to do so.
Mr. Selfe said he was afraid the girl was wayward and
incorrigible, and that the only moans of saving her was
to send her to a reformatory.

The prisoner—Oh don't send me away, and I will be a
good girl.
Mr. Selfe—You have said, that before, and you are not
to be trusted. I shall commit you to prison, and to be kept
to hard labour for fourteen days ; and afterwards to be de-
tained in a reformatory school (where you will be taken
care of and properly instructed, and I hope be made a good
girl) for three years. Your father must pay 2s. a-week
for your maintenance. Parents have to support good
children, and they must support bad ones, and not leave
them a burthen to the State.

with a cargo of rifles from Queenstown yesterday
morning for Liverpool. She was freighted by the
Garibaldi Committee in New York, but having

have occasioned the vessel's departure.

TERBURY AND YORK.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether her Majesty's Government
had advised the Queen to sanction the sitting of Convoca-
tion in the provinces of Canterbury and York for any other
than the ordinary purpose of adjournment.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said, that last February there had
been a resolution by Convocation for an address to her
Majesty, praying that she should direct the revision of the
29th canon, which provided that a father should not be
godfather to his child.
SALE AND PURCHASE OF GOVERNMENT
LAND AT PORTSMOUTH.

Lord W. GRAHAM asked the Secretary of State for
War whether the land, or a portion of it, which had re-
cently been bought at a high price by Government for the
defences of Portsmouth was not formerly in the pos-
session of Government, and sold by them a few
years back at a comparatively cheap rate ; whether
there was not, at the time of selling such land, an
official plan for the defence of Portsmouth, embracing such
land, in the hands of Government, or of the military au-
thorities ; and, whether he would lay upon the table of the
house a returnof the price at which the land was sold, the
price at which the land has been rebought, and the name
of the official who sanctioned the sale..

Mr. S. HERBERT said that the facts were, that about
twenty years ago, it had been deemed advisable to sell the
land in question for £20,000, and now it was considered de-
sirable to purchase it for a sum of £28,000.
