invited the Lord-Lieu.cnant andsonie of the leading gentle-

befitting and brilliant manner.
"Valentia was visited yesterday by four officers of the
Royal Engineers, who are eneaged on a tour of inspection
of the Irish coast, with a view to the construction of har-
bours of refuge at various points. It is intended to erect
two or three batteries, which will coitunand the entrance of
Veleutia harbour, and thus effectually protect the shipping
which may have taken shelter therein from any privateering
expedition

be unfortunately disturted. The engineer officers had an
interview with Mr. Whitehouse, iu order that, if possible,
they might adopt their plans so as to afford protection to the
cable.
" I .cannot close this despatch without expresiing, nay
sense of the great courtesy which I have experienced from
the officers of the company."

Mr. T. S. Egan, of the University of Cambridge, was
umpire. They started from Putney new bridge. Hammer-
smith had the best station on the Middlesex shore, with
Manchester next, and the winners had the worst place.
The lead was taken by the Pride of the Thames, so rapidly
that at Searle's they had got into the second best station ;
Hammersmith, second in the lead, fell into the third posi-
tion, with about a length between each. In 200 yards
Maucliezter had come up with the Pride of the Thataes, and
a clipping race was maintained for a quarter of a mile, when
the winners began gradually to draw away, and, never
being neared, won easily. The contest for the second
money was very fierce, and from Craven Cottage to near
Hammersmith-bridge, the Hammersmith crew had rowed
so gallantly that they went by their opponents, and became
second, heading Manabester, at Chiswick Eyot, by half-a-
dozen lengths. The Richmond crew were all along a capital
fourth, but could not overhaul the aorthcountrymen.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

LORD PALMERSTON'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

During the noble viscount's stay in Dublin, he made a
rapid inspection of his improving estates in and around the
city. Accompanied by his agent he proceeded alone Cabra
and the North Circular-road, and viewed with much appa-
rent satisfaction the number of elegant buildings that have
lately been erected on this part of his property. His lord-
ship was then introduced to Dr. Boake, one of the most
thriving tenants in the neighbeurhood, after which he in-
spected attentively the new terrace in course of erection at
Manor-street, called Temple-terrace. Having expressed
himself gratified at the manner in which the building had
been executed, and very graciously taken his leave of Dr.
Boake, his lordship drove on to Chapelizod, and visited the
mills of Mr. Dargan, the scene of the recent fire. After
spending some time in traversing the principal part of his
extensive estate in that direction, the noble lord continued
his course round through Rathmines and Donnybrook,
and returned to town highly pleased at the many evidencess
of an improving spirit which everywhere met his view.
RUMOURED 'VISIT OF THE HON. S. H. WALPOLE TO

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

THE HAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS.

A special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works
was held yesterday at noon, in the Council-chamber, for
the purpose of further considering the main drainage of the
metropolis—Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair.
The meeting was very fully attended.
The following report from the committee of the whole
board on the subject of the main drainage was presented :
"1, Greek street, Soho, A.:g. 11.
" Your committee have, in obedience to the reference of
the board of the 3d instant, considered the plans for the
main drainage of the metropolis presented by the board td
the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &c. Your
committee have also conferred with Messrs. Hawksley and
Bazalgette, Mr. Bidder being absent from London, on those
and other plans, and your committee have come to the con-
clusion that the principles of drainage recommended in the
report of Mcs5.TA. Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazalgette are
those most suited for the requirements of the metropolis.
" Your committee, therefore, recommend that the board
should without delay instruct the engineer to report as to
the order in which the several parts of the works recom-
mended in the report of Messrs. Bidder, II nwitsley, and
Bazalgette may be most advantageously and conveuien.ly
carried out.

" Your committee further recommend that the engineer
be instructed by the board to prepare specifications for car-
rying out the several works set forth in the report of Messrs.
Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazalgette, commencing with those
parts of the works which the engineer considers to be most
urgeut. '
And your committee further recommend that the engi-
neer be instructed by the bO-t.rd to prepare plans for and to
report to the boar.l as to what advantages may be de, ived
by having the outfall on the south side of the liter Thames
on Greenwich marshes, providing in that case for deodoris-
ing the sewage continuously throughout the year.
All which your committee have to submit.

" J. THWAITES.
" WILLIAM CARPMAEL.
" PHILIP CRELLIN."
Mr. CARPMAEL moved the adoption of the report, and
adverted at some length to what had been done for some years
for the removal of sewage from houses; but in doing so they
had largely contaminated the river Thames. That was the
only expedient then open to them; but now, In consequence
of the increased powers conferred upon them by Act of Parlia-
ment, they were called upon to do away with that nuisance by
a system of intercepting sewers. That remedy was to be
obtained by the plan proposed by Messrs. Bidder, LI awksley,
and Bazalgette, which was calculated to remove the sewage
to points on both the north and south sides of the Thames, so
far removed that the sewage should be no nuisance and not
come back again within the limits of the metropolis. He then
generally combated the objections which had been urged
against the plan, and particularly referred to one as to a pro-
vision only having been made for a population of three and
a- half millions. He said at any future time, if an extension
of the plan was required for an increased populaticn, that
could be effected at a comparatively small expense, and con-
tended that it was not the duty of this board to make provision
for a state of things which might arise at some very distant
period. Ile concluded by moving the adoption of the report.
Mr. CRELLIN, although desirous of seeing the sewage of
the metropolis altogether abstracted from the river and ap-
plied to useful purposes, seconded the motion. His object
was to afford some remedy to the present state a the sewer-
age of the metropolis.
Mr. LESLIE said he was anxious not to take up the time
of the board, but still he was utterly unable tosay what ihe

that board. He contended that the pumping siations, re-
servens,
• &c., were altogether unnecessary, and said that
in Paris the whole evil from sewage was met by negative
artesian wells, placed under the municipality of that city.
He alluded to the hospital at Bieetre, where a negative
artesian well was constructed in 1790, and it had gone on
working satisfactorily up to the present time. These wells
nine also formed at the laystalls of Moutfaucon, and
although a number of horses were slaughtered in
that diArict, the whole of the refuse from the
knackers' yards were passed down negative artesian
wells, got rid of, and filet without any nuisance to
the wells sunk in that neighbourhood for the purpose
of supplying the inhabitants with water. This plan was
supported by Mr. Hyde Clarke, a civil engineer, and be
was also supported by M. Buchatel and other eminent
French engineers. If this plan was adopted in the metro-
polis, it would save a large amount of money, and would
also avoid the necessity cf breaking up the public streets.
lie concluded by snoring as an amendment " That the
Metropolitan Board of Works come to no decision upon this
subject until the evidence upon the geological di ainage of
the metropolis be received by the board "—one important
fact being, that at an expense of £330 a negative artesian
descent for foul water has been made 234 feet in depth,
which Las been discharging at least 2,700 cubic feet per
hour.

Mr. Alderman CUBITT hoped they would cane to no
conclusion upon this subject before the adjournment for the
holidays, and said that, as their office had been at work
for years upon it, the public could we afford to wait for
two or three mouths to enable them to receive further in-
formation.
111 r. BENNETT did not think the board could be charged
with precipitancy, as the scheme, wit t► few exceptions, had
been for two years- before them, and during that time
it had been well sifted, both by the board and also by the
engineers, to whom it had been submitted by the late Presi-
dent of the Board of Works, Sir Benjamin Hall. He hoped
the board would not adjourn until after the subject for the
main drainage bad been disposed of, or was in some pro-
gress.
After a few words from Messrs. D'IFFANGER and OPPOR,
Mr. CARPMAEL replied in a few brief remarks.
The CHAIRMAN put the motion, and on a division it was
carried by a majori►y of 19 to 1.
