THE EMBARKMENT OF THE THAMES.

The Secretary read a letter which had been re-
ceived from the St. Olave's District Board of Works,
expressing their opinion that, considering the neces-
sity and importance of the Thames embankment,
they felt that the views expressed by the Hon. Wil-
liam Cowper, in the correspondence which had ap-
peared in the public prints, were the correct ones,
and that works of such magnitude, if intrusted to
this Board to perform, should at least have the
supervision of her Majesty's Government.
MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS.

It was resolved that the Governor and Company
of the Bank of England be requested to give direc-
tions for a further advance of £50,000 for the pur-
poses of the main drainage.
THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1862.

A letter was received from Mr. Sandford, secre-
tary to the International Exhibition Commissioners,
expressing their opinion as to the propriety of
throwing open the approaches to Brompton for the
better convenience of the increased traffic that will
necessarily be caused at the opening of the Ex-
hibition.
TNCREASE OF SALARY TO THE ASSISTANT ENGINEERS

OF THE BOARD.

A letter was received from Messrs. Levick, Grant,
and Cooper, assistant-engineers, applying for an
increase of salary, owing to the heavy duties thrown
upon them in consequence of the main drainage
works.
Mr. DALTON moved that the application be re-
ferred to the Main Drainage Committee for consi-

deration and report.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR thought the Board ought to
have some information to show that it was neces-
sary that these applications should be sent to a com-
mittee. They ought to know the salaries at which
these officers were appointed, and whether there
had been any increase to them during the four
years they held thosd' offices.
Mr. PECKETT said it would be the duty of the
committee to ascertain all these facts.
Mr. Deputy HARRISON also deemed that some
further explanation was required, and it was not to
be supposed that all applications for an increase of
salary were to be referred to the committee as a mat-
ter of course.
After some further discussion, the matter was
referred to the Main Draining Committee.
THE NEW METROPOLIS GAS ACT.
The Solicitor laid before the board the opinion of
the Attorney-General and Mr. Gray, to the effect
that the Act of 1861 brings the City of London
within the powers conferred on this board, and that
all appeals are to be made to the Metropolitan
Board of Works.
It was ordered that this opinion of the
kttorney-
General be communicated to the corporation of the
City of London.
On the motion that the subject be referred to a
committee,

Mr. Deputy HARRISON opposed the motion, and
said that it was a question that ought to be dealt
with by the whole board. The opinion seemed to
convey an impression that the City of London had
done something that it ought not to have done, but
if the subject was investigated he believed it would
be found that there was another opinion of high
authority which had justified the City of London in
the course they had pursued.
Mr. DALYON said that it was imperative on them
to carry out the provisions of the act without delay,
and he trusted that not a day would be lost in giv-
ing the committee the necessary powers for carry-
ing the act into effect.
After a few observations from Mr. Freeman and
Mr. Hughes, the opinion of the Attorney-General
was referred to the Gas Committee.

were for the first time formed into secti.Ntovlnehsreino7;hsaiell
teen men for file firing. Each section fired ten
rounds at 300 yards, the average number of hits
made by each section being 107, bull's eyes and
centres being counted as single hits only. After this
very creditable practice for the beginning (the
corps also numbering about twenty recruits), the
men marched to the north front of the Castle, *here
a series of battalion movements were gone through,
after which Captain Worsley addressed the Teen •
in highly laudatory terms, and calling for three
cheers for Lord Carlisle, which were given with a
willingness which woke the echoes for many a mile.
Lord Carlisle briefly replied. Colonel Crauford,
Captain Phillips, many of the neighbouring gentry,
and many carriages filled with lady occupants, were
on the ground, and throughout the day Castle
Howard Park wore a very animated appearance.
Tho banquet was held in a large room recently
erected for similar purposes. About 130 sat down,
Captain Stephens presiding, supported on the right
and left by Lord Carlisle, Captain Worsley, Lieut.
Legard, Colonel Crauford, Adjutant of the battalion,
Sir Edward Labouchere, Bart., &c. The usual loyal
and patriotic toasts were duly honoured, and the
Chairman proposed the health of " The Lord-Lieu-
tenant of Ireland."

His Excellency the Earl of CARLISLE, in respond-
ing, said,-1. beg to return you my very sincere
thanks both for the extreme kindness in which my
name has been brought before you by my neigh-
bouring friend, Captain Stephens, and also for the
warm welcome with which you have been pleased
to receive it. I assure you that it has been no
common pleasure to me to be among you on this
day,:which has been a most agreeable and delightful
one, and I only regret the many similar occasions
which I have lost; but I can further assure you
that, whether at hand or at a distance, I have
always felt the most lively interest in the success
and progress of the volunteer movement in this
neighbourhood. I have read with no little plea-
sure and admiration of the successful figure which
you have made at the various friendly competi-
tions in which you have been engaged. (Cheers.)
I feel it is wholly unnecessary for me to say any-
thing of the volunteer question in general. The
value of that movement has now been sufficiently
testified by the general applause of the country.
I certainly re-echo the expression that was made
in the field to-day by your captain—" God forbid
that you may ever have to confront an enemy ;"
nevertheless I have no doubt that if such a necessity
should arise that you would stand up and do your
duty like men. (Cheers.) I feel that if we are
not to put our volunteers to such an unpleasant
practical use—(laughter)—it will be owing to
there being such an effective body of men as are
to be found in the various volunteer corps of this
country—(hear, hear)—and I have every confidence
in hoping that the 3d North Riding corps will hold
their own, and not yield to any other in proficiency
and valour. (Cheers.) It is marvellous to one to
see the progress you have already made, more espe-
cially in looking back to my last visit to Castle
Howard, at which recent period a volunteer force
was only in contemplation. (Hear.) I would spe-
cially congratulate you on the very excellent method
of your firing, but what I am still more glad to hear
of is the very pleasing and harmonious manner in
which the whole business of the corps has been
carried on. I hope I may long continue to hear
thus well of it. (Hear, hear.) On a former occa-
sion you were indebted to the hospitality of Capt.
Worsley—we are to-night the guests of Captain
Stephens and Lieut. Legard, and feel that in all
fairness my turn must come next. (Cheers.) I shall
be happy at any time to assist in some of your con-
tests in shooting, and hope to see you carry off
prizes before all competitors. I have looked for-
ward to this meeting with the most pleasurable
anticipations, and I have not been disappointed ;
and I can only say I am very proud of you all. In
conclusion, I hope you will heartily join me in
drinking the toast as it deserves of " Capt. Wors-
ley, with success to the 3d N. It. Volunteers." This
may look something like drinking your healths, but
I would have you regard it in the light of tho
general success of the corps. (Great cheering.)
Capt. WORSLEY responded, alluding especially
to the strength of the corps and their willingness
to learn the necessary drill, and expressed him-
self confident that, with a little exertion and
energy, they might soon have four companies in-
stead of two.

A GENTLEMAN FINED FOR KISSING
A LADY IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.

Yesterday morning the magistrates at the police
court at Bristol, Mr. R. Poole King and Mr.
Christopher Thomas, inflicted a fine of £5 and costs
upon a gentleman of London, for kissing a lady of
Cheltenham, as they were journeying from Glouces-
ter to Bristol, on the Midland Railway, the lady and
gentleman being the only occupants of one of the
compartments of a first-class carriage. The inti-
mation that a gentleman who had a livery servant
in attendance upon him, and who it was believed
was an officer in the army, had been conveyed in
custody to the Bedminster police-station, and would
be brought before the bench on the above charge,
excited much interest, and the court was crowded.
Curiosity was the further excited by the statements
which were made on pretty reliable authority that
the defendant had offered a good round sum to com-
promise the matter, with a view to obviate the pub-
lication of his name,and that the lady herself wished
that her name might not be stated. The case was
called in the ordinary course of the business of the
court, and the defendant, Frederick Layton, was
placed before the bench in the custody of Sergeant
Homlin. The defendant was well dressed, of the
middle height, somewhat slight, and of gentlemanly
appearance. He wore a beard and moustache.
The charge preferred against him was that he as-
saulted Mrs. Elizabeth Rebecca Martin on the rail-
way between Gloucester and Bristol. She was about
forty years of age, and presented a matronly ap-
pearance. She was accommodated with a chair near
the bench, and directly opposite the prisoner, against
whom she directed indignant glances.
Mr. Prideaux appeared for the complainant, and
Mr. Clifton for the defendant.

was Hewas deeply sorry for what

dand excited at the
time the affair took place ; but immediately he dis-
covered that the lady was really outraged, he was
most anxious to appease her anger and to offer any
sort of apology. However, perhaps no apology to
the lady was sufficient, and he had come before
them, and they would deal with the case. He had
offered to pay five guineas to the funds of the in-
firmary, and Mr. Prideaux's fee for coming there.
The complainant, how ever, pressed forth extreme
punishment the magistrates had power to inflict,
and they accordingly fined the defendant £5 penalty
and costs.
The money was paid.

SEDUCTION AND MURDER.—The dead body of a
young woman was discovered last week in a wood, at La
Poucze (Maine-et-Loire), by a man who was gathering
chcsnuts, As the skull was fractured in several places
there could be no doubt that her death was the result of a
crime. An inquiry having been instituted by
the local
authorities it was ascertained that the body was that of a
young woman named Jeanne Raimbault, who had been
missing for some days from the neighbouring village of La
Poiteviniere. It appears that the poor girl had been seduced
by a young man named V—, under promise of marriage.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 26, 1861

Another of our links with the political . era,
which dates from the closing scenes of the war,
and included Corn Law Repeal, has just been
severed. During that period Sir JAMES GRAHAM
was an important actor in the political world ; and,
for the last ten or twelve years also, his has been
a name which we could not have wished to miss
from our list of the nation's representatives. He
has never been the foremost man, it is true, but he
had abilities which made him a power; he was
recognised as a very important supporter and a
formidable opponent. What Sir JAMES GRAHAM
thought and said was always an important element
in any debate ; and if he was supposed to speak
his real mind and to advocate his real opinions,
his judgment was felt to be so sound as to influence
a considerable number of minds.
It is probably true that he failed to attain the
highest position—one to which his abilities might
properly lead him to aspire—from his failure to
attain public favour and confidence. And his failure
in this respect must unquestionably be attributed to
the general impression that be was more of a par-
tisan than was consistent with high political mo-
rality, and that he was not very scrupulous as to
the grounds of his partisanship. The Admiralty
gave proof of his high administrative talents,
and in the House the impression was strong enough,
and justly so, that he could not easily be surpassed
in masterly exhibition and defence of the side he
took ; the only thing frequently wanting to give
irresistible weight to his speeches was the uncer-
tainty as to their expressing the personal convic-
tions of the speaker. When we are in the hands
of a speaker ofgreat argumentativepowers, it would
seem as if we had nothing to think of but the
arguments. But the truth is, that his hearers,
in proportion to their opinion of his su-
perior ability, are ready to suppose him
capable of overthrowing his own arguments, if
he chose. Certainly this was often suspected to be
the case with Sir JAMES GRAHAM.

The greater part of his life was spent in support
of Liberal measures. Catholic Emancipation, the
Reform Bill, and the Repeal of the Corn Laws
were all indebted to him for vigorous support.
The last, indeed, furnished one amongst other
illustrations of his defection from principles he had
previously advocated—this time, a defection to the
right side, however. It will not easily be forgotten
how, after having been assailed night after night
for his departure from the principles of his anony-
mous but never denied pamphlet, and after having
been wounded all over, as his opponents thought,
by arrows drawn from his own quiver, the Cumber-
land baronet rose perfectly unabashed, and coolly
told them that, as to all their clever inuendoes and
insinuations, on which they so much plumed them-
selves, " he had changed his opinions, and there
was an end mil."

What damaged him most with the public was pro-
bably not his secession on the Irish Church question,
with the then Lord STANLEY and others ; certainly
not his renouncing the opinion that corn ought to be
freely imported at a fixed protective duty; but, the
Post-office affair. His opening letters for such a
justly hated wretch as the late King of NAPLES,
and the death of the noble brothers BANDIERA,
raised a perfect storm throughout the country; yet
it should be remembered that he in this case only
did the dirty work of the Government, and all of
them, its chief especially, were as really
culpable as Sir JAMES GRAHAM. Still, at
the time almost all the blame was thrown
on the colleague ; the chief and others were rather
regarded as only magnanimously standing by him.
In one sense this was just. Sir JAMES GRAHAM
could be as independent as he plaased ; and a man
of his ability ought rather to have resigned than
accept such a commission from his chief. Gradu-
ally, perhaps, public opinion did him com-

partitive justice. The respectable men who
employed him received their share of the

blame, but his active participation in the business

produced an impression unfavourable to him which

remained after the details began to pass from public

memory. The small band of able Peelites, as they
call themselves is now becoming small indeed. Ore
as much distinguished by his general favour with

the public, as Sir JAMES was by the want of it, has
hardly passed away, when another, at threescore
and ten indeed, but yet in the full vigour of his
faculties, is also removed. Lord PALMERSTON and
the Whigs, with whom he has again acted of late,
will also feel his loss.

done that, it would be but a commencement of the

t There is, however, no appearance yet of his get-
ting even so far as that. He is slowly occupying the
positions in advance of Manassas Junction, which
the Confederates, it is plain, never meant to defend.
They were merely held by them with painted
wooden guns ; held, to produce an impression that
they were more numerous and stronger than they
are. The old position, Manassas Junction, appears
to be still the • one where the Confederates
have strongly fortified themselves, and on
that M'CLELLAN will for some time pro-
bably be afraid to make a direct attack. It
would appear, that, from the nature of the ground,
he can make no other, and it is by no mean certain
that he could, in this way force BEATAEGARD'S lines.

A second defeat, or unsuccessful assault, would not
at all surprise us, if M'CLELLAN can find no means
of taking his enemy in flank. BEAUREGARD has
had thesame military traning asMTLELLAN himself,

more skill, or better men. In artillery M'CLELLAN
appears likely to have the superiority, and that con-
siderably, and he is known to have expressed the

opinion that by that arm the present contest will be
decided. Americans were never very forward to
make or to meet a charge ; their General may pro-
bably therefore be right.
It seems, therefore, not to be thought of that the
contest should be what the North in its " magni-
ficent uprising" talked of at first—a short, sharp,
and decisive contest. It has hardly been sharp
yet ; short it does not, indeed, seem likely to be,
and the opinion now seems to gain ground that it
will never be decisive. Some compromise as the
result seems to be the general expectation.
Whether it is to be after one or two or three cam-

paigns, the temper of all parties must decide; bu

no indication of a compromising spirit are yet
visible. There are, no doubt, thousands of
wealthy men, thousands of tradesmen and mercan-
tile men, who sigh in secret for " peace at any
price." But their day seems to be far enough off.
In the North it would be dangerous for them to
speak. In the South, if any concession to the
North were thought of by them, they might expect

the bowie knife or the cord. The South will de-
fend to the last, and the North will assemble troops
and their ships as long as money can be got, though
when they will use them in battle is at present
doubtful. The North had one effectual weapon
but refused to use it.

England and France must make up their mind

to scour all the rest of the world for cotton this
winter, for we de not see how, except through
peace, any can be hoped for from America. The
Federals have talked indeed of opening a cotton
port ; but even if they did, they could not
bring the cotton to it. The cotton is not
at the ports. An intelligent gentle-
man writes in a Manchester paper that they dare
not bring it to them. " The risk" he says, "is two-
fold—that of capture and that of fire. If the
Federal squardrons be unable to take, they may be
able to shell and burn. All cotton insured at a
port would be insured at war rates. Then, again,
the cotton is kept back, because, to bring it
down to the port, involves a heavy outlay, and,
in the absence of shipping, this would be an outlay
with return. To get the cotton to the river-
side costs money ; to get it conveyed by river
steamers to the wharf costs money. Why should
the planter spend his five or eix dollars
a bale, to have his cotton deteriorate in the
wharf, when he can keep it in the pens on
his plantation, uncleaned, and so saved from
deterioration by the vegetable oil of the seed. ?
But even if risk and unremunerative outlay did not
keep back the crop on plantations, there is another
and even more potent reason. The planters have not
got the bagging necessary for making the cotton
up into bales. The blockade keeps out the gunny
bagging of India, as well as the cloths of Man.

chester and Belfast, the steel wares of Sheffield and
Birmingham, the iron of Staffordshire, and the
woollens of Yorkshire."

We cannot profess to regret this. The distress
which may be partially felt in Lancashire is indeed
a painful source of apprehension, but there had
been a considerable over production, and some short
time there must have been, if there had been no
stoppage of supply of cotton—it will be worse from
this cause doubtless—but the effect upon all other
parts of the world, on India especially, will be an
ample compensation.

Among the papers of special interest read at the
,ast meeting of the Social Science Congress was a
short essay* by Miss FRANCES COBBE, succinctly
setting before the public the aims and intentions of
the society of which she has been so valuable an
auxiliary. The treatment of our pauper population
when applying for parochial relief is a question of
much complication and difficulty. The just medium
between the indulgent lenity which pities the
wretchedness and the keen-sighted experience which
censures the improvidence, is very hard to arrive at;
and the pleas of the soft-hearted philanthropists
are triumphantly met by the hard-headed economist
with the argument that any degree of comfort or
kindness shown to the workhouse inmates is only
bestowed upon the most worthless and thriftless of
their class, and affords that encouragement to the
evil which would be better employed on the labour-
ing and self-supporting poor. This discussion
between justice and mercy is of long-standing, and
not likely to be easily disposed of. Popular feeling
asserts that in the contest the " twice blessed"
quality is seldom the winner, but that point we
need not at present discuss. The cases brought
forward by Miss COBBE lie altogether beyond the
pale of the economist's reproaches. What is
to become of a labouring man or woman dependent
on their own earnings, when incapacited by sickness
from gaining a penny, and from that sickness re-
quiring aid and comforts which cost money ? The
answer naturally points to our many noble hospitals
and eleemosynary institutions. But if the disease
from its mortal and hopeless nature precludes their
remaining under these shelters; if the resources of
skill and science are vain, and the artisan, the
domestic servant, or sometimes even the governess
is totally deprived, by no fault or improvidence, of
the means of earning bread, what remains to them ?
The sentence of incurable sickness tells them not
only that hope is over for them in this world, that
pain and weakness and suffering will never leave
them more on this side the grave, but it tells them
also that their last days of lingering hopeless suffe-
ring shall be spent among the lowest and roughest
and most callous of their kind, with bare necessaries
instead of the luxuries their sufferings demand,
with hard, rude, indifferent and untrained assistants
instead of tender nurses, with no employment to
pass their tedious hours, and, in many cases, no
means of rising from their hard and comfortless
beds. And these sufferers are not so few in number
that they should be regarded as unfortunate ex-
ceptions to the general rule. Miss COBBE says ;
