METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

The ordinary meeting of the Metropolitan Board of
Works was held on Friday, in the Council Chamber,
Guildhall—Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair.
The financial statement was presented, which showed a
total general balance of £99,123 4s. 3d.
THE METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMEND-

M ENT .
The CHAIRMAN rose and said that the bill for amending
the Metropolis Local Management Act bad last night passed
its third reading in the House of Lards. During its pro-
gress to that last stage a large number of clauses were at-
tempted to he introduced, a most inconvenient course in
such a stage of the hill. One clause was attempted by the
commislioners exercising jurisdiction over various levels on
the north side of the Thames, which was called a saving
cause, for the purpose of protecting their rights and inter-
ests. Now, he considered that that clause would be most per-
nicious, and calculated to hamper them in the execution of
their works, and they took steps for the purpose of preventing
that clause from forming part of the bill. He (the chairman)
had several communications with the Government, and he
must say that they had acted most handsomely in resisting
those clauses which the board considered would be adverse to
their interests. Last night Lord Derby successfully resisted
such clauses, and the bill passed as it was presented to the
House of Lords, with the exception of one clause promoted
by the trustees of the river Lea, at the head of which was
Lord Salisbury. To the clause as proposed they had a strong
objection ; but after an interview and consultation they at
length agreed to a clause which gave full satisfaction to
Lord Salisbury on the part of the trustees of the river Lee,
and equally satisfactory to that board. That clause was to
the following effect :—" No works under or over the main
navigable channel of the river Lea shall at any time be com-
menced or executed under the provisions of this act without
leaving the top of any work under the navigation not less
than 12 feet below high-water, Trinity standard; and for any
work over any part of the navigation without leaving the
soffit of such work not less than 8 feet 6 inches above high
water, Trinity standard, with a clear span over the said
river, inclusive of the towing path thereof, of not less than
31 feet. Provided that it shall be lawful for the said trus-
tees of the river Lea by writing under their common seal, on

IN RE J. H. MORTON.

This was a certificate meeting in the case of the bankrupt,
who was a grocer of .Maidstene. The accounts have already
been published.
Mr. Bagley, for the assignees, said they believed the bank-
rupt had not attempted to deceive anybody; they had had
from him a most candid explanation, and as they bad had
also the means of testing its accuracy, they had no doubt it
was true. He had kept a grocer's establishment at Maid-
stone, but was also in partnership with a person named
Pooley, a lime and cement manufacturer. Quarrels and dif-
ferences arose between them, which, in fact, led to the
bankrupt's suspension and his appearance in his honour's
court. An action had since been brought and a verdict
recovered against Pooley. He had not yet paid the amount
of the verdict, and in truth was what was called "not in
the way." The assignees felt, under the circumstances, that
theya would not be justified in asking the Court to delay the
bankrupt's
yt soucgerhttifincoat bete, oa f theltbo first class.ughatth same time they
Mr. Lawrance, for the bankrupt, said he had been in
business in the same town for 2.5 years and had never before
failed.

The Commissioner—ls the bankrupt prepared to depose
to that fact ?
t Mr. Lawrance—Yes, sir, he is here.
The Commissioner—ls that so ?
Bankrupt—Yes, sir.
The Commissioner—To what do you attribute your failure ?
Bankrupt—To having fallen in with a dishonest man.
The Commissioner—That is a general answer.
Bankrupt—He was my partner, and kept the money, and
would not render me any account.
In reply to the Court,
Mr. Bagley stated the action to which he had alluded was
tried for the purpose only of testing the liability of the part-
ner to the partnership debts which he denied. The verdict
was for a small amount only, but it was for the whole
amount claimed by the creditor—namely, £5O.
The Commissioner—That does not benefit the estate.
Mr. Bagley—No, but it establishes the liability of the
partner to the rest of the debts.
Having made some inquiry of the official assignee as to
the accounts,

His Honoiir said he should pursue the same course that
the Lords Justices did in ;;oaseeesssimilar to the present, and
were not merely friendly

was so here, and be was disposed to look
from its containing one feature of great importance, and
tha
was the length of time the bankrupt had been in businesswit,l-1
out failure. He was disposed to bel'eve that the bankrupt's
failure had arisen partly from the circumstance of his having
gone into partnership with a dishonest man. Therefore he
might take an immediate certificate of the second class; and
it was to be hoped that when be again entered trade his
present misfortune might operate as asaution.

NEXT ANNUAL MEETING.

Liverpool was fixed as the place for the next annual meet-
ing, upon the motion of Dr. WATERS of Liverpool, seconded
by Dr. C. R. HALL, of Torquay.
Dr. LANKESTER, of London, did not oppose the motion,
but could not resist expressing regret that Dublin had not
been selected. He said it ought to be the policy of the British
Medical Association to break new ground. Annual meet_
ings have already been held in Liverpool, but there has
never been a meeting in Dublin, and in that city the asso-
ciation had only two members. Many new members would
be added to the list if the association met in Ireland, and it
is by increasing numbers and embracing the great mass of
the profession in the three kingdoms that power and influ-
ence will be gained and good achieved.

Professor SIMPSON supported Dr. Lankester's views, and
expressed a hope that in 1860 the meeting would be in
Dublin.

Dr. LEES, of Dublin, thought that if everything were
satisfactorily arranged a prosperous meeting might be held
in Dublin ; but it was not to be concealed that mistaken ideas
were entertained in Dublin as to the part which the
British Medical Association had taken in regard to the
recent medical reform agitation. " I fear," said Dr. Lees,
" that it is felt in Dublin that your triumph is our defeat."
Dr. Lees proceeded to say that so far as he had the power
he wosild endeavour to promote a comfortable and success-.
ful meeting in Dublin in 1860.
Dr. MAHOOD, of Enniskillen, said that Dr. Lees had
spoken as if the whole Irish profeiSion was represented by
the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Dublin. This
was not the case—the fellows of these bodies were very far
from being the majority, and, indeed, were not even the
minority. (Roars of laughter.) In Ireland the profession,
as a whole, were three to one in favour of the Medical
Reform Bill, which had been carried through the influence
of the association, and they would all unite in giving a righ►
hearty welcome to the British Medical Association when-
ever it should come to Dublin. (Cheers.)
It seemed to be understood, after some further conversa-
tion, that in 1860 the association would meet in Dublin.

FIRST HEAT.

The first heat was contested by Henry Blackmore
Green), James Everson (Light Blue), and Charles Everson
Pink). A dispute took place as to the start, and subse-
quently some palpable fouling took place. The managers
decided that the heat should be rowed again, and even
then the result was not satisfactory. After another attempt,
the heat was decided in favour of Green, who won easy.

SECOND HEAT.
This heat was contested by Richard Burgess (Yellow>,
Edward Todhunter (Dark Blue), and Henry Farthing (Red).
After a good race Yellow came in first.

THIRD HEAT,
Between the second and third men of the previous heats.
The men, after a well-contested race, came in as fol-
low :—Light Blue, Dark Blue, Pink, and Red.

FOURTH HEAT,

Between the winners of the two first beats and the first and

second men of the third heat.

This race excited much interest, and each party was
charged with fouling. The winner was Green, followed by
Yellow.

FIFTH HEAT.

The final heat for the boat between Green and Yellow
terminated, as stated, in confusion. Each party claimed to
e victorious; words ran high, and the Thames police took
ossession of the prize. The managers subsequently met,
and, as we are informed, decided in favour of Yellow.

THE NAVY.

Her Majesty's frigate Castor, 36, Captain Henry Lyster,
which was paid off at Chatham yesterday, has been in com-
mission upwards of three years, having been commissioned
by Lieutenant-Commander Wood in 1855 at Chatham, from
which port she sailed in the month ofJunein that year. On
quitting England the Castor proceeded to join the squadron
at the Cape of Good Hope, under the command of Commo-
dore H. I). Trotter, who was succeeded in the command at
that station by Rear-Admiral the lion. Sir F. W. Grey,
K.CsB., the Castor having been attached to his squadron
since she has been in commission. During the time the Castor
was at the Cape of Good Hope she bore the flag of Commodore
Trotter until the appointment of Admiral Grey, who hoisted
his flag in the Boscawen, 70. Since she bas been in com-
mission she has been cruising on the eastern and western
coasts of Africa, visiting in succession the principal ports
and openings on those coasts, and watching the movements
of the slavers, to intercept the slave traffic. The crew have
been generally healthy, but several deaths from accident
have occurred on board since the Castor has been in com-
mission, seven men of the crew having been drowned by
the upsetting of the cutter belonging to the Dart. The
Castor sailed from the Cape of Good Hope on the 28th
of May, the following vessels being then at the station :
The Boscawen, 70, carrying the flag of hear-Admiral Hot
Sir W. F. Grey, K.C.8.; the Persian, 12, Commander J.
H. Cbads; the Lyra, 9, screw steamer, Commander R. B.
Oldfield ; and the Hermes, 6, paddlewheel steamer, Com-
mander W. E. A. Gordon. She touched at St. Helena on
the homeward passage, and took on board invalids. On
being paid off yesterday good conduct gratuities were
awarded by order of the Admiralty to the following petty
officers, viz.:—George Harris, gunner's mate; Andrew
Smith, boatswain's mate ; William Mallion, ship's cook ;
Vincent Smith, boatswain's mate; and Johu Byford, cap-
tain of the mizentop. Nearly the whole of the crew are
continuous service men, and have joined the Victory, 101,
flagship, at Portsmouth; several have also joined the
Waterloo, 120, at Sheerness, and the Renown, 91, screw
steamer, the Admiralty granting them six weeks' run on
shore. The Castor is not expected to be again placed in
commission.

Her Majesty's steam transport Rhadamanthus, Mr. F. R.
Sturdee commanding, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday
from Plymouth, and was admitted into basin to reload with
steam machinery for the western yards. A portion of her
cargo will consist of boilers, &c., for her Majesty's steam
frigate Immortalite under construction at Pembroke.
The Hannibal, 91, screw guardship of steam reserve,
Captain G. Gordon, is to go down to moorings off Gosport
this week.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer here
1.-day, coastwise and by land carriage. The demand was
less active than cn Monday, nevertheless that day's prices
were well supported.
We were extensively supplied with foreign wheat, but
the quantity fresh to hand is under 5,000 quarters. All
kinds were held firmly, at very full prices, but the business
done was limited.

Floating cargoes of grain sold at full prices.
Fine barley sold steadily—other kinds slowly, on former

terms.
There was a moderate sale for malt, at full prices, but
oats, owing to large arrivals from abroad, were the turn
lower.
Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's currency.

THAMES.

STEALING A GOLD WATCll.—George Collins and George
Wilkinson, two men who had the appearance of mechanics,
were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a
massive gold watch value 95 guineas.
Samuel Prohowski, a Polish Jew, carrying on business
as a factor and outfitter, at 68, Ratcliffe-highway, said the
prisoner Collins came to him last night, and, producing a
gold watch, offered to sell it for 15 guineas. He laiew it to
be worth more than that, and said, I do not feel justified in
giving it you back. He then asked the prisoner where he
bought it, and he said he purchased it of a man in Ports-
mouth for £9 or £l2. Ile asked the prisoner what he was,
and he said ha would•not tell. The prisoner then went
away, and soon afterwards returned with his companion,
Wilkinson, who said, I know he bought the watch, its all
right. He refused to part with the watch, and detained
it, and sent to the Leman-street station-house.
Deeble, a police constable, 195 H, said—From informa-

tion I received I went to Prohowski last night and took
possession of this large gold watch. The hands and glass
are wanting, and I believe it has been stolen from the per-
son with considerable violence, for the ring is gone. I found
the prisoners in Ship-alley, Wellelose-square, and said to
Collins, I shall take you into custody, how did you obtain
possession of the watch P The prisoner replied, I and my
mate were walking along Portsmouth three weeks ago, and I
bought it, and part of the money belonged to me and part
to Wilkinson. I have been carrying the watch
about me until this afternoon, and it being
Lord Mayor's Day, I went into the city, and met a man
and showed him the watch, and he said it was worth 15
guineas. That man was a watchmaker.
Collins—l said I bought it of a man 40 years of age.
Deeble—No, you said a man. I went to Mr. Arnold,
the maker of tho watch, at No. 84, • Strand, this
morning, and he immediately identified it, and said ho
made it for a gentleman 15 years ago, and the cost of it was
95 guineas. The constable then produced a large double-
cased watch of the best gold, without glass or hands. The
coat of arms of the owner, with the motto " Deus alet me,"
and his initials, T. W., were engraved on the outer case of
the watch.
Mr. Yardley—Can you produce the owner ?
Deeble—Yes, sir, in a few days.
Mr. Yardley—The prisoners are remanded for a week.

MARSH V. MARSH.-CRUELTY.

This was a case bearing-some resemblance to the
last, inasmuch as the cruelty charged was likewise
attributed to drink. It was a petition presented
by Mrs. Mary Marsh, of Sutton, in Kent. The
marriage took place on the 28th of October, 1850,
and they had had four children, the eldest of whom
was seven and the youngest two years of age. The
respondent was a farmer,'and the union was at first
a tolerably happy one. Afterwards, however, he
fell into intemperate habits, which rendered him
very irritable, and caused him to use violent
language towards Mrs. Marsh. He would remain
in bed for weeks together, during which time he
would compel her to remain with him and supply
him with drink. Evidence was adduced to show
that while in this state he had seized her
and had attempted to strangle her. An act of this
kind was proved to have been committed in 1856,
one in 1857, and a. third on the 21st March last. A
week afterwards the petitioner's brother, Mr. Jef-
freys' took her to his house at Folko,stone, where
she had lived ever since. In order to show the
serious effects of the treatment she had received,
her medical attendant was examined, and he stated
that she appeared like a person in the last state of
a decline, when she first came home. She was still
in delicate health.

Indefence, Mr, Manamara called the respondent,
who stated that in consequence of some Chancery
proceedings he had fallen into pecuniary difficul-
ties, which had rendered him very unhappy. He
had therefore been induced to take more drink than
was good for-him ; and he supposed that he had
had delirium tremens ; at least it had made him
very ill, and he hardly knew what had occurred ;
but he would swear that nobody ever loved his
wife more than he had done, and he had no recol-
lection whatever of having treated her ill. Unfor-
tunately her mother and other persons had inter-
fered ; and but for that he was convinced his wife
would never have left him. The witness gave his
evidence in a very excited manner, and was once
or twice reprimanded by the judge.
Two servants were likewise called ; but the
evidence of the one was of little importance, and
the other admitted; after considerable hesitation,
that he had been directed to sleep in his master's
room in order to keep him from the petitioner.
Dr. Deane contended that upon the evidence
before the Court, coupled with the demeanour of
the respondent under examination, the Court on ht
not to hesitate in g2anting the petitioner the relief
she desired. He was not instructed to ask for ali-
mony or costs, but he hoped that the Court, before
pronouncing its final decree, would allow his client
the opportunity of making an application with
regard to the custody of her children.
Sir C. Cresswell reserved his judgment.
During the afternoon the proceedings of the
court were enlivened by a visit from the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs, who came in state to invite the
judge to their banquet at Guildhall.

GATES V. OATES.-AN AMIABLE HUSBAND.

This was a petition for a judicial separation on
thelground of cruelty, promoted by Mary Oates
against her husband Philip. The marriage of the
parties took place on the 9th Nov., 1840, at Wal-
ton-on-the-Hill, near Liverpool, and they afterwards
carried on business at No. 65, Parliament-street,
Liverpool, as cowkeepers. They had had three
children. The respondent was a person of intern-
petate habits, and, as his wife deposed, was very
" wicked" in his drink. He used-to swear at her,
turn her out of doors, call her foul names, beat her
with his hands, with stable forks, pokers, and other
implements. Once he broke her jaw with a blow
of his fist ; and on another occasion he locked him-
self in a room with her, and beat and abused her
for two hours ; he then ordered her upstairs to bed,
followed her up to the first floor, and flung her out
of the window, by which she sustained the fracture
of three ribs. For this exploit he was sen-
tenced by Baron Alderson to two years' imprison-
ment, and to find sureties for two years additional.
The petitioner procured the required bail, and set
him at liberty ; but by way of rewarding her for
this act of loyalty, he ill-treated her again, and
was again ordered to find bail for six months. In
Aril last he again beat her, and was for this im-
prisoned three months, and ordered again to find
sureties, in default of which he is still in gaol.
Dr. Wambey, for the petitioner, substantiated
these facts' by the evidence of Mrs. Oates herself,
who said that the times she had been ill-treated•
were so numerous that she could not say how often.
Elizabeth Taylor, her sister-in-law, corroborated
her statement, and added that when she visited the
petitioner at the hospital, after she had been thrown
out of the window, she was not able to recognise
her, on account of the shocking manner in which
she had been disfigured.
Isaiah Warrell produced copies of the respon-
dent's conviction before Mr. Rushton, the stipen-
diary magistrate of Liverpool, on the sth of
August, when he was ordered tp find six months'
bail; of his conviction before Mr. Baron Alderson
in the month of March, 1854, and of his conviction
before two magistrates in April last.
Sir C. Cresswell at once decreed the judicial
separation of the parties, and condemned the re-
spondent in the costs.

MARSH V. MARSH.-CRUELTY.

This was a case bearing some resemblance to the
last, inasmuch as the cruelty charged was likewise
attributed to drink. It was a petition presented
by Mrs. Mary Marsh, of Sutton, in Kent. The
marriage took pinee on the 28th of October, 1850,
and they had had four children, the eldest of whom
was seven and the youngest two years of age. The
respondent was a farmer„and the union was at first
a tolerably happy one. Afterwards, however, he
fell into intemperate habits, which rendered him
very irritable; and caused him to use violont
'language towards Mrs. Marsh. He would remain
in bed for weeks together, during which time he
would compel her to remain with him and supply
him with drink. Evidence was adduced to show
that while in this state he had seized her
and had attempted to strangle her. An act of this
kind was proved to have been, committed in 1856,
one in 1857, anda third on the 21st March last. A
week afterwards the petitioner's brother, Mr. Jef-
freys; took her to his house at Folkestone, where
she had lived ever since. In order to show the
serious effects of the treatment she had received,
her medical attendant was examined, and he stated
that she appeared like a person in the last state of
a decline, when she first came home. She was still
in delicate health.

Indefence, Mr. Ma 3namara called the respondent,
who stated that in consequence of some Chancery
proceedings he had fallen into pecuniary difficul-
ties, which had rendered him very unhappy. He
had therefore been induced to take more drink than
was good for him ; and he supposed that he had
had delirium tremens ; at least it had made him
very ill, and he hardly knew what had occurred ;
but he would swear that nobody ever loved his
wife more than he had done, and he had no recol-
lection whatever of having treated her ill. Unfor-
tunately her mother and other persons had inter-
fered; and but for that he was convinced his wife
would never have left him. The witness gave his
evidence in a very excited manner, and was. once
or twice reprimanded by the judge.
Two servants were likewise called ; but the
evidence of the one was of little importance, and
the other 'admitted, after considerable hesitation,
that he had been directed to sleep in his master's
room in order to keep him from the.petitionef." '-
Dr. Deane contended that upon the'evidence
before the Court, coupled with the demeanour of
the respondent under examination, the Court ox ,ht
not to hesitate in granting. the petitioner the relief
she desired. He was not instructed to ask-for ali-
mony or costs, but he hoped,that the Court, before
pronouncing its final.decree, would allow his client
the opportunity df making an application with
regard to the custody of her children.
Sir C. Cresswell reserved his judgment.
During the afternoon the proceedings of the
court were enlivened by a visit from the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs, who came in state to invite the
judge to their banquet at Guildhall.

SMYRNA.

A letter from Smyrna of the 24th ult., in the
Presse d' Orient, gives the following details of the
accident which attended the arrival of the Curacao
steam frigate at Smyrna, on board of which vessel
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe had taken his passage :
At the moment when the-frigate was entering
the outer roadstead, an Austrian sailing vessel was
leaving, bound for Trieste. The Curacao ran into
this vessel, carried away her bowsprit and mizen
mast, and stove in her bows. In disengaging her-
self from the Austrian ship the frigate grounded
on the Hermits sandbank and stuck fast. The
English Consul at Smyrna, on hearing of the acci-
dent, waited on Rear-Admiral Clavaud, command-
ing the French squadron in the Levant, and
requesting him to send assistance. The application
was immediately, acceded to, and the Eclaireur
steamer was ordered to the spot, but as yet she had
not been able to haul the frigate off. The Austrian
vessel was towed back into the harbour by the
Egitto, Lloyd's steamer, which happened to be
coming in from Alexandria."

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer hero
to-day, coastwise and by land carriage. The demand Was
less active than on Monday, nevertheless that day's prices
were well supported.
We were extensively supplied with foreign wheat, but
the quantity fresh to hand is under 6,000 quarters. All
kinds were held firmly, at very full prices, but the business
done was limited.
Floating cargoes of grain sold at full prices.
Fine barley sold steadily--other kiflds slowly, on former

terms.
There was a moderate sale for malt, at lull prices, but
oats, owing to large arrivals from abroad; were the turn
lower.
Beans, peas, and flour realised Monds)'s currency.
