The Madrid jou►ntls of the 17th have reached
us. Some of them state that, i❑ consequence of
the indisposition of the King and of the small-pox
having broken out with some violence near Valla-
dolid, which town her. Majesty had promised to
pass through, the Queen's visit to the Asturias was
likely to he postponed, but the Espana expresses a
different opinion. Tue same journal says that the
Pre,ddent of the Council and the Minister of
Fof eign Affairs are to be the only Ministers to ac-
company Ler Majesty ; it says likewise that the
diplomatic body will go with the Queen. Prince
Leopold, brother of the Queen of Portugal, had
sailed from Barcelon% for France.

A Vienna letter in th 9 Augsburg Gazette an-
nounces that the conflict relative to the affair of
tastadt may he considered as arranged, Austria
and Baden Baden having agreed not to act ou the
convention conclu led be:,ween them ; but the gar-
rison is for the present to continue to be formed as
it is now.

" The general feeling among the members of the
Germanic Diet," says a letter from Frankfort, "Is
that the I),:nish reply is of a nature to prevent any
inimediate act of hostility on the part of the Federa-
tion. That solution, however, will not be to the
taste of Hanover, which has always assumed in the
Diet a hostile attitude with respect to Danmark ;
and the -.A ew Gazette of Hanover, in oue of its last
numbers, has shown that feeling, as it contained
the folio sing unambiguous language : It is un-
fortunately probable that various impediments will
arise to prevent the Diet from acting in a dacided
and energetic manner.' "

A. letter frol-n S:ockli dui says :—" According to
recent accounts from the chateau of Drottingholm,
where the King continues to reside with the Royal
family, his Majesty begins to recover his strength
very in.aterially. He is now able to walk in the
park without requiring the sdpport of one or two
persons, as hal been the ca:e during the previous
twt-Ive months."
The Fiedrnontese Gazette states that on Count
do Ca,vour's arrival at Geneva, he was cordially
received by the population, and that a deputation
from the Council of Stwe paid him a visit. Before
eiin-
leaving, he received the visits of other notable inha-
bitants of the city, without distinction of political
opinions.

THE AIETROPOLLS LOG A. L. MANAGEMENT
ACT AM 14N :VENT RILL.

Yesterday at the weekly meeting of the represen-
tative vestry of St. Pancras, held at the Vestry
Hall, Camden-ti n, Mr. Churchwarden Cameron
in the chair,

Thy VESTRY-CLERK reported the stage which the
M-tropolis Management Act Amendthent
Bill, introduced by the Government, had reached
in tie House of Commoni.

The Rev. R. 0. ECKETT, member for St. Pancras
at the Metropolitan Board, explained the objects of
th 3 hill, more especially in rnation to the Govern-
ment rasing three millions of money upon deben-
tuie,,and contended that those who did the work
ought not to be doubly taxed by
being compelled
to pay the stamp duty on the transfer of the securi-
ties. He moved a resolution, "That the vestry
was of opiniou that the money to be borrowed by
tin!. Metropolitan Board of Works should be obtain-
able without having to bear the additional charges
by the imposition of stamp duties upon the bonds,
debentures, or securities, either upon their first
issue or upon ay transfer thereof, and that; the
borough and county members be earnestly re-
clues ed to use their best efforts to obtain the intro-
duction of a clause into the bill for that purpose."
Mr. GLovtr, seconded the resolution, which was
put and carried.
BRETTINGHAM moved a second resolution.
The debate on this question in the immaculate
House of Commons wits most curious to lead, but
on all sides it was admitted that the expense into
which the metropolis tv,:.s about to be lauttched
would be ft ightfut iu the extreme. But there was
a clause in the bid which gave the Metropolitan
Board poNer to de!egate the control of all this en-
ormous power to a committee of three. This
cot tainly ought to be resi,i,A. He moved,,"That
it would be exceedi ugly object:ionable for the Metro-
politan Board of Works to have authority to dele-
gate to a committee of its members to have the
absolute control and management of the works
connected with the intercepting sewage, and t nat
the borough and county tnembe,s be also earnestly
reques'ed to nee their best efforts to get the sth
clause struck out of the bill."
Msome further observations, it was carried, and both
