EXTRACTS from MINUTES of the METROPOLITAN
BOARD of WORKS, of 18th MAY, 18G6, and RE-
FERRED to in PROSPECTUS.
52. The Clerk laid before the Board the following com-
munication :

May 14, 1866.
Sir, —1 am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to
transmit to you, for tho information of the Metropolitan
Board of Works, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's
Minister at Brussels, respecting some important improve-
ments which are about to be made in that city, and which
have been contracted for on the part of the English Credit
Fonder and Mobilier Company.
I am, ecc.,
(Signed) 11. WADDINGTON.
The Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works.
(Enclosure.)
Brussels, May 4tb, 1866.
My Lord,—A great public work in Brussels of remark-
able extent and proportions has just been contracted for on
the part of the English Credit Fonder and Mobilier Com-
pany. The object is to arch over the river Senne, which
runs through the lower part of the city, and is in fact an
immense open drain, receiving the greater part of the
sewage of the town, which is, at present, most dangerous
to health, and often the cause of destructive epidemics.

The plan combines lateral drains to intercept the sewage,
reservoirs outside of the town for deodorising and collect-
ing for manure, and works to prevent inundations. An
extensive Boulevard is to be run over the vaulted course of
the Senne quite through the town. The houses on each
side, which are now of the most inferior class, aro to be
pulled down, new ones of a superior character, on a widened
way, are to be erected all along the new Boulevard, with
great facilities for lateral access to it on either side. A.
building, which is to unite Halls for an Exchange and Gal-
leries for artistic exhibitions, is also to be constructed.
The estimated cost of these works is 26 millions of francs.
The amount is contributed by the town of Brussels, by the
province of Brabant, and by the State, in the following
proportions -the Town, 16 millions; the Province, 3 mil-
lions; the Government, 7 millions.
I enclose herewith a copy of the Report presented to the
Chamber of R. R., on the part of the Central Section, which
explains fully the nature and importance of this projected
transformation in the lower part of Brussels.
As an engineering work, the plan is one of the highest
interest, from its extent and projected effects as combining
ornamontation and facilities of intercourse throughout the
whole of the lower quarter, with incalculable benefits in
point Of healthy action on at least half of the population of
Brussels.—l have, Jrc., .

rIN SATURDAY, the 29th of December, will
VY be published, at No. 112, Strand, "THE WEST-
MINSTER GAZETTE," a new Catholic Weekly Paper,
supported by a large number of known and approved
writers. Its two main objects are, first, the exposition of
Catholic principles on all those great questions—ecclesias-
tical, philosophical, and social—which are now agitating
the intellect and hedrt of the country ; and, second, a
truthful statement of facts as to tha condition, political and
religious, of Catholicismin the various countries of Europe.
Foreign writers of note in France, Italy, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, and Spain are engaged as contributors to
" The Westminster Gazette." The true interests of Ireland,
its struggles for its unquestionable rights as a Catholic
nation to a Catholic system of Education, shall be dis-
cussed always in a spirit free from the prejudice or passion
of mere political partisanship. An important feature of
the Nov Paper will be the large space especially allotted
to reviews of books, both English and foreign, non-
Catholic as well as Catholic.
