METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

The Board met yesterday in the Council Chamber,
Guildhall—Mr. Thwaites, the president, in the chair--
to transact the usual business, and to consider some no-
tices of motion. The attendance was most numerous,
there being 37 members present. The total general
balance in favour of the board was announced to be
53,061/.
Mr. WRIGHT moved that the resolution of the 12th
instant, "That all committees be abolished, excepting
the standing committee, under 211th and 212th sections
of the Metropolis Local Management Act (committee of
appeals), and that the committees in future be appointed
by a rota of five members (there being nine committees),
as particular cases may arise, so that every member
shall become acquainted with the working of that act,"
so far as the words following are concerned :—" And
that committees in future be appointed by a rota of five
members (there being nine committees) as particular
cases may arise, so that every member shall become ac-
quainted with the working of that act," be rescinded.
Major Lyon, Mr. Doulton, Mr. D'lffanger, Mr.
Hawkes, Mr. Hare, and Alderman Cuhitt, M.P., having
spoken, the board divided, when there appeared for the
motion of Mr. Wright, 27, and against it, 10.
Mr. WRIGHT said that the board having rescinded its
previous resolution, he would now move " that a com-
mittee of finance be appointed, consisting of 15 members.
Major LYON characterised the proceedioga of the com-
mittees by the term " jobbery," and having been called
on to substantiate his charge, he alluded specially to
the appointment of gentlemen on committees who were
known to be prejudiced on the subjects they were called
to report on ; and be also noticed the exclusion of Mr.
Leslie from committees as an act of jobbery. These ac-
cusations were received with laud expressions of dissent, •
and the remarks of the speakers who repudiated the
charge of jobbery as unfounded were applauded. Major
Lyon compared these expressions of opinion to the
noisy uproar of a penny theatre.
At the conclusion of the angry discussion, the motion
of Mr. Wright was carried by a large majority. The
following resolutions were also passed :—" That a com•
mittee under the Building Act, and for general pur-
poses, be appointed, consisting of 15 members ;" and
" That no member shall be eligible for election on more
than one of those three committees."
Monday having been appointed to consider several
questions relative to park accommodation, the board ad.
journed.

The Pays announces that the Russian Prince Medikoff
wbo was charged with a private mission to the Shah of
Persia, had quitted Teheran on the 18th of May. Dar-
ing his stay in the Persian capital the Russian Ambas-
sador received the greatest attention.
