METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORK&

The ordinary meeting of the Metropolitan Board
of Works was held yesterday in the Couucil Charn-
ber, Guildhall—Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair.
The financial statement for the week showed a
general balance of 97,9181. 4s. 3d.
THE STATE OF THE RIVER THAMES—THE USE OF LIME
FOR THE PURPOSES OF DEODORISATION.
Mr. BAZALOETTE, the engineer, read the follow.
ing report on the arrangements he bad made in
pursuance of the resolution of the board as to deo-
dorising the c ntents of the principal sewers:—
" No. 1, Greek-street, Sobo, July 8.
" Gentlemen,—lmmediately upon the passing of the re-
solution I proceeded to make arrangements for deodorising
the sewage discharged from 40 of the main sewers by pre-
cipitation with lime, as recommended in my report of the
28th ult.
" On the following morning, five or six were being thus
deodorised by the admixture of ground lime, and the next
day the process was going on at 40 of the main outlets.
Large vats have since been constructed, and are being used
as rapidly as they can be made in order to substitute the
milk of lime fcr ground lime at all these sewers, this being
the most advantageous mode of application. Lime has
hitherto been supplied to the board in small quantities,
under the jobbing contracts, at 17s. 6d. per yard, but,
considering that such large supplies should be obtained
upon the most favourable terms, I obtained fresh tenders
from thirteen respectable and well-known lime merchants,
and from the two jobbing contractors, which I herewith
submit to the board.
" I have now to report that about 1,000 tons of lime
have been used in the sewers at a cost of about 8007., and
that to continue the process in full operation during the
hot weather will cost about 180/. per day, but this sum
may be reduced during and after rains or a fall of tem-
perature. The operation has been attended with consider-
able success, and its effect upon the river must be bene-
ficial. lam now making souse experiments upon several
other modes of disinfection in order to ascertain whether
any more economical means of obtaininr, the same object
can be applied, and I shall be prepared to report the result
to the board at a future day.—l have the honour to be,
sir, Ste., J. W. BAZALGETTE, Engineer."
On the motion that this report be received,
Mr. Deputy HARRISON wanted to know how long
this use of lime was to be continued, at a cost of
180/. a-day, wh:ch was to be paid for entirely by
the metropolitan ratepayers, and for which they
only derived a very partial benefit.
Mr. BAZALGETTE recommended that the lime
should be continued for the present, or during the
hot weather, as the lime was put into the sewers,
and from them it flowed into the Thames.
Mr. LESLIe hoped they would hear what one of
the greatfst chemists ( f the present day—Dr. Hof-
man—s dd upon this subjece He said :—" The
several processes submitted to us for deodorising
sewage into a manure by means of lime, by the
use of Srotbert's and Gotto's mixture, by filtration
through charcoal, and by shaking with charcoal,
all fulfil to a certain extent the office for which they
were proposed. At the same time, it is found that
these several processes leave a large quantity of
putrescible organic matter in solution, which, espe-
cially in hot weather, is apt to undergo decompo-
sition, and to give rise. to the generation of effluvia-
of-the mo,t offensive and dangerous character ; and
we believe that the erection of works in the imme-
diate neighbourhood of the metropolis for the deo-
dorisation of the London sewage might prove very
pre judicial to the health and comfort of the in-
habitants of London, and that in the event of the
establishment of such works, the fluid run off from
the sewage depot, if discharged into the Thames in
the vicinity of London, might very seriously affect
the river."

•
Mr. Deputy HARRISON would not cotrcnt to
this enormous outlay only from week to week.
Mr. EfAttras said the Thames was as ba,l now as
it was before th is immense cost forlime was incurred.
Mr. DOVLTON said a more useless expenditure
had never been incurred by the board.
Mr. PHILLIPS said a chemist examined before a
commit tic of the House of Commons said that for
every ton of lime thrown in, it cauJid four tons of
deposit, and therefore it became a very serious
matter to consid-r whether such a Focess should
be eon in tied.

Mr. PECKETr hoped the process would not be dis-
continued until it bad had a fair trial.
Mr. PALMER, wanted to know if this lime thrown
in would purify the river ?
Mr. I3AZALGETTE said it would be beneficial, but
it would not purify the river altogether.
Afier some further discussion, it was agreed that
the process should be continued for another week,
the engineer then to report to the board upon its
cost and efficiency, and to make recommendations
for the future.

After a hug discussion, it was determined by a
majority of 21 to 14 to purchase Berkeley house,
Spriiig-gardens, as a site for the offices of the board.
Sonie other business was disposed of, and tb•
board ::.djourued.

THE METROPOLITAN BOARD AND THE

PROPOSED NEW OFFICES.

At the weekly meeting of the Vestry of St. Pan-
cras, held at the Court-house, Camden-town,
Mr. Churchwarden Attenbotough having been
elected to the chair,
Mr. ECIIETT, member for S'. Pancras at the Me-
tropolitan Board, called attention to a scheme on
foot at the Metropolitan Board, to erect offices and
a board-room for the Board on the site 'at Spring-
gardens, forming the east side of the passage into
Birdcage-walk. Upon entering into a guarantee to
spend 15,000/. on the erection of the building they
were to have the lease for 10 years, at 5001. per an-
num, and after that period for 99 years, at 350/. per
annum. The probable outlay to begin with would
be over 20,0001., which he thought monstrous,
when it was not kaown how soon the Metropolitan
Board might be snuffed out altogether.
Mr. FURNISS moved a resolution condemning
such a contemplated outlay by the Metropolitan
Board, instead of attending to, and providing a
remedy for, the pestiferous state of the Thames,
which was; the principal object for which they were
appointed. He denounced the Metropolitan Board
as a set of incompetents, and declared that since
they had been in office, they had done nothing but
create places, and call upon the rateyayers to pay
fur their extravagance.
Mr. J. BAKER seconded the motion.
Mr. WILKINSON, the other member of the Metro-
politan Board, said he was quite certain that for
the benefit of the ratepayers of the metropolis the
Metropolitan Board ought not to be beholden to
the City, or remain one hour longer holding their
meetings at Guildhall. It placed them in a false
position, and subjected their acts to all sorts of
misconception. At the same time he doubted the
propriety of building their new offices at Spring.
gardens, when they nad sufficient freehold ground
at Greek-street.

Mr. HunsoN °moldered, instead of the Metropoli-
tan Board building a palace, they ought rather to be
erecting a mausoleum—(laughter)—for the latter
was the place they were soonest likely to require.
They had doue so little for the main drainage, for
which they were appointed, that the sooner they
ceased to meet the better.
Mr. Ross could not understand what there watt
in the atmosphere of Guildhall that Mr. Wilkinson
and the board wished to get out of it. The Com-
mon Council and citizens had always been the
friends of liberty and of local self-government. So
far, however, from censuring the Metropolitan
Board, they were entitled to a debt of gratitude for
refusing to sanction all the schemes which were
desired to be rushed into for the purification of
the Thames. They had thus saved the metropolis
millions of money. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BRETTINGHAKE also defended the Metropo-
litan Board for not sauctioniug utopian schemes,
and moved an amendment, leaving out any con-
d4 =earn' for not prcceeding with the purification
of the Thames.

Mr. ChurchwardenCemEnoNsecondedtheamendi7,
meut, and it was carried by a large majority, and
ordered to be forwarded to the Metropolitan Board.

Mr. GRIFFITII asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chever whether the Governwant might not properly
tako into consideration the expediency of making use of
the Leviathan in order to lay down the Atlantic Tele-
graph cable ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Government had not at present taken the subject into
consideration; and in fact his hon. friend only 6 ugge•ted
that they should do so. He c)uld therefore only add
that anything which fell from his hon. friend would be
duly attended to by the Government. (Laughter.)
HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

had been felt during the six years that he had bad the
honour of a seat in that house ; but they had been pain-
fully apparent during this session. le would remind the
house that whatever remedy was adopted for purifying
the Thames a considerable time must elapse before the
evil could be got eid of; and therefore he could not but
think that it was very inconvenient to continue the ses-
sion so late in the year. (Hear.) Apart from this, how-
ever, he was anxious to argue the question on general
grounds. He could not refrain from asking why, in con-
tradistinction from the practice of every other legislative
assembly, they were chained to those benches at a time
which was least fitted for the performance of their
duties. This practice had grown up only of late
years, for formerly the house met in November, and
separated very much earlier than at present. The
practice now existing was not only prejudicial to the
health and convenience of members, but also to the
conduct of public business. He need, in proof, only
point to the number of useful measures which they
always found at this period of the session scattered dead
around them. (Hear.) And as to those measures for
which a happier fate was reserved, and which passed
into law, could it be wondered at that under the in-
fluence of a July sun those measures often left the house
in a crude and imperfect etate, and without having re-
ceived that discussion and attention that under other
circumstances would be given to them ? (Hear.) In
modern times there had been winter sessions, but they
were confined to special objects. In November, 1352,
Parliament met to settle the qnestion of free trade, and
the fate of the Ministry ; in the autumn of 1354 nothing
more wee submitted to the consideration of Pailiament
but the Voreign Mutiny Act, while in December last
year they weee told all they had to do was to pass the
Indemnity Bill. But what be wanted to press upon the
Government was the necessity of meeting in November,
and then commencing the real bu•doess of the session.
Ho saw no reason why the financial year should not be
altered to meet the change. He would also throw out as
a suggestion the expediency of dispensing with the Whit-
suntide recess. His only object in bringing the question
forward was a desire to consult the convenience of mem-
bers, and to promote the business of the house. (Hear.)
Mr. BLACKBURN wished to ask the President of the
B said of Control if any decision had yet been come to
on the subject of granting compensation to indigo
Iplanters and other settlers in India whose property had
been destroyed by the rebels.
Mr. V. SMITH said before the noble lord answered
the question he was anxious to draw his attention to the
discontinuance of the papers relative to the progress of
events in India. During the early part of the mutiny papers
were issued giving a detailed notice of what had passed in
India ; but for the last three months the record had been
I discontinued. He thought it wonld be for the public in-
, tercet that the papers should continue to be published.
Sir J. TRELAWNY called attention to the existing
position of the Church-rate question. The house, after
repeated discussion extending over a lengthened period,
had sect up a bill to another place for the settlement of
the question, but it was there rejected. The noble lord
at the head of the Government upon the discussion of the
bill in another place, stated that he thought it desirable
that dissenters should be relieved from the payment of
Church-rates, though the manner in which he proposed
that should be done was somewhat ungracious and unee.
nerous. It was not for the interest of the Church that the
question should be thus trifled with, nor was it to the
advantage of the magistracy, who had to administer the
law under great uncertainties, and since there yet re-
mained one or two months of the session—(oh, oh, and
a laugh)—he thought the Government were bound to do
something t swards bringing about an immediate settle,
ment of the dispute. (Hear, hear.) He did not think the
smell of the Thames had so much to do with the anxiety
of members to get away as the smell of the sea or the
heather, and Government need therefore have no appre-
hension on that score ; it ought not to preclude their
making an attempt at an immediate compromise, which
would not involve a larger sum to the State or the Church
than 75,0001. After the opinions expressed ou this sub-
ject by a noble lord in another place, he felt that the Go-
vernment were bound to make some attempt at legisla-
tion ; if they (lid not, they were not fit for their places,
and he begged to inquire whether they proposed to fix
a period for the termination of the session without re•
commending Parliament to adopt a measure in which
thew views on this question should be embodied. (Hear.)
Viscount MELGIJND drew attention to the opera-
tion of the laws regulating the sale and consumption of
spirituous liquors in Scotland. Four years ago a new
law came into force having reference to the sale of
liquors in Scotland, and it was thee expected that the
effect of the law would be a considerable diminution of
intemperance : has en fer from that being the case, it
had produced evils Lt.,. WLI U L.,Vt:l' C;l:''lllplateq before
the act passed. It was true the consumption of liquors
had diminished during the last two or three years ; but
that result was attributed not to the operation of the
act, but to the increase in the duty upon Scotch spirits,
which had risen from 34. Bd. to 8.. per gallon. Through-
out Scotland there hail been a considerable reduction in
the number of licensed houses ; but on the other hand,
there had been more than a corresponding increase in
the demoralising traffic of illicit distiliation, and that
circumstance had induced him to call attention to the
subject in the hope that something would be done to en-
sure a more efficient working of the act.
Mr. DUNLOP said there was an unanimous feeling
on the part of the magi ,tracy of Scotland to aid in the

Mr. LINDSAY asked Mr. Wilson whether, in pur-
suance of a resolution of the Committee on Harbours of
Refuge, it was his intention, as chairman of that commit-
tee, to bring the subject under the notice of the house,
and if so, when ?
Mr. WILSON said the committee of which he was
chairman certainly did, at the concluoion of their labours,
add a resolution to the report that be ought to bring the
r Fef re tvii• house before the end of the session.
But that report bad only been beions thu house te,i (Irv;
' or a fortnight, and he had thought it not consistent with
his duty to bring a matter cf such great importance for-
ward until hon. members had had an opportunity of
reading the report. He was unwilling to bring the sub-
ject forward upon going into committee of supply, or
whilst there was so much pressing business before the
house. For this reason he had thought it better to deter
the matter, but he hoped to bring it on in a few days.
THE GARRISON IN THE MAURITIUS.
Sir DE L. EVAN'S asked the Secretary for War w.. 2 •

commencement of the late mutiny, consisting of nearly
the whole garrison, had been replaced, or whether orders
had been given to that effect ?

him in the course of the evening. The first to which he
should reply was that of the hon. member for Dumfries,
who desired to know whether the Government had any
measure in contemplation for the purpose of creating a
department of justice in conformity with the resolution
which had been passed by the House of Commons. Now,
with regard to that, as with regard to another resolu-
tion to which the sanction of that house had been given,
he would only say that if it bad been productive of no
result it was not owing to any want of respect for the
house upon the part of her Majesty's Ministers. He could
not, of course, state the reasons which might have induced
the predecessors in office of the present advisers of the
Crownnot to act upon the resolution in question, but se
far as he himself was concerned, he was perfectly ready
to admit that ho would have been quite prepared to pro-
pose a vote to the house with the view of establishing a
department of justice, provided he had been furnished
with any satisfactory definition as to the duties which
such a department when constituted would be called
upon to discharge. Hitherto he bad not been furnished
with any satisfactory definition upon that point, and he
had not deemed himself, therefore, to be in a position to
ask the House of Commons to incur the expense which
the scheme would involve • but when the necessary in-
formation upon the subject was supplied he would be
found prepared to act in accordance with the resolution
at which the house had arrived. (Hear.) He should
next advert to the question of the hoc. baronet opposite
(Sir J. Trelawn)), who wished to ascertain what the
intentions of the Government were in reference to the
long-vexed subject of church rates. The hon. baronet
seemed to be of opinion that, in consequence of the views
with regard to it to which expression had been given
by members of the Government in the other House of
Parliament, it was the duty of her Majesty's Ministers
immediately to introduce a measure to carry those views
into effect. Now, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)
was not prepared to say upon the part of the Govern-
ment that it was their intention to introduce in the course
of the present session any measure with that object ; but
he must at the same time be permitted to state, notwith-
standing certain observations which had fallen from the
hon. baronet, that her latejeety'e Ministers did not re-
linquish the hope of settling the question of church-rates,
and that they would take the earliest opportunity alter
the reassembling of Parliament to ask the opinion of the
Legislature upon a bill which they would introduce, in
the hope that it would be accepted as a' satisfactory so•
lution of a long centreverted subject. (Hear.) In deal-
ing with either of the important matte's to which he had
adverted, however, some regard must be had to the time
at which Parliament should resume its sittings—a ques-
tion which had been brought under the notice of the
house last evening by an Con. member below the gang,•
way (Mr. C. Perste!). Now, he (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer) was bound to admit that the arguments

itnhenitet

the Wresting
rzestinnigerely plauseu,e, Lut
they were, ito some minds, convincing. He believed
of Parliament at that
period of the year at which now it was accustomed to
assemble was not at all to be attributed to the popular
cause which was usually alleged—namely, the passion
by which the people of this country as well as the Legis
lature were animated for the sports of the field. (Hear,
and a laugh.) Our predecessors were as much attached
as we could be to those sports, and yet Parliament in
olden days was wont to assemble in the autumn, and to

Mri P. O'BRIEN urged the propriety of extending
the advantag,es of this vote more generally to Ireland.
He thought such cities as Cork, Cashel, and Galway,
were as much entitled to participate in it as Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and other minor towns in England.
Mr. ADDERLEY said that if Ireland bad not received
as due a share of the vote as England or Scotland it was
her own fault. This was not an eleemosynary grant, but
one which was given on certain conditions, and if these
conditions were coinplied with, and application made
from any place in Ireland, it would be granted.
After a few words from Mr. HASSARD and Mr. GROGAN,
Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that the number of towns
in England which possessed these schools of design were
no less than sixty. These schools had conferred immense
benefit on trade ; and many manufacturing places which
used to obtain their designs from France now entered
into competition with that c,untry.
The vote was then agreed to.

that he was not unmindful of the immense advantages
that proceeded from the national system of education in
Ireland ; but the ()Eject of his motion was to induce the
hoase to dt fer to the ju=t scruplesof the Protestant clergy
of the country, who could not in any way connect them-
selves with the board as long as the use of the Bible was
excluded from the schools. The national schools at
present enjoyed the entire monopoly of the Govern-
ment aid ; but he believed if the schools of the
