METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORK&

The weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of
Works was'held yesterday in the Council Chamber,
Guildhall ; Me. J. Thwaites in the chair.
The cash account showed a total general balance
of 47,603/. Os. 10d.
OFFENSIVE CONDITION OF HACKNEY BROOK.
A deputation from the Board of Trustees of Hack-
ney and the Hackney district board attended the
board this day to present a memorial complaining
that in consequence of the contents of the sewers
being passed into the brook, disease and death bad
resulted to the ,inhabitants, and praying the board
to afford them immediate relief,
The memorial was received.
Mr. J. Billing was elected surveyor, under the
Metropolitan Building Act, for the district of St.
George-in-the-East and St. Botolph WithoUt, Ald-
gate.
THE MAIN DRAINAGE PLAN FOR THE METROPOLIS.
Mr. Wright at the last board had given notice that
he would to-dayask certain questions of the engineer.
After some objections it was decided, by 20 to
15, that the questions might be put, and
Mr. WRIGHT then put the first question—Have
you made yourself acquainted with the reports and
tppendices on the main drainage sent to the board
by her Majesty's Chief Commissioner of Works ?
Mr. BAZELGETTE, the engineer, said he bad, as
far as they admitted of examination, and although
they contained a great mass of matter they con-
tained very little in reference to the plans suggested
by the government ; they gave no cross sections or
nformation as to the size, levels, or mode of filling
the reservoirs with tidal water.
Mr. WRIGHT then asked what were the principal
points of difference between the plan of the govern-
ment engineers and the plan approved by the board?
Mr. BAZALGETTE said—This board has, with
little exception, provided for the sewage of the
metropolitan area, as defined by the Metropolis
Local Management Act. The government engi-
neers have included in their plan 217 square
miles beyond that area, or nearly three times as
much as the act of Parliament has confided to
this board. They intercept the sewage by gra-
vitation from thirty-seven square miles more than
is done by the plan of this board, an arrangement
which, although sound in theory, may be and has
been obtained at too great a sacrifice. To obtain
the increased gravitating power they have been
driven to construct two open sewers, each 16 feet
deep and 88 feet wide, with a general fall of only
6 inches in the mile. These sewers arty moreover,
tide-locked, for their inverts are 29 feet below
Prinity high water, and they could only discharge
at or near low water. Therefore the sewage in
them, like the present defective open sewers in the
Surrey and Kent district; would be stagnant for
many hours in the day, and the sewage when dis-
charged, instead of flowing down the river, as would
be the case with our sewers, with the ebb tide,
would flow up the river with the flood tide, and
thus much of the proposed advantages of the lower
point of the outfall would be lost. To • add to the
defects of these sewers there are in their course no
less than six syphons. The first, with a dip of 10i
feet : the second with a dip of 91 feet ; the third,
51 feet ; fourth, 51 feet ; and the sixth, 9 feet.
As it is apparent that these sewers must col-
lect deposit, the Government engineers sug-
gest that they should ba flushed by water
from the river at high water, and reservoirs
constructed at the upper end. The Government
engineers pronounce the sizes of the sewers pro-
posed by the board to be inadequate to the future
requirements of the metropolis. Hitherto these
sewers have been considered extravagantly large by
Messrs. Roe, Phillips, Forster, Gotts, Morewood,
Ward, and others. They have been reported to_
he of the right size by Mr. Robert Stephenson, Sir
William Cubitt, Mr. Haywood, and myself ; and
they are now for the first time called too small by
the Government engineers. The Government
engineers estimate the prospective population
likely to be attained within the metropolitan area
at 3,578,089 ; 1 estimate it at 3,448,500. They
estimate the sewage upon the above population at
7 cubic feet per head, half passing off in eight hours ;
I estimate it at 5 cubic feet per head, and half
passing off in six hours, the difference between us
here being only five per cent. The great differences
of size are caused, therefore by their including three
times the size of the metropolis, reducing the fall of
the sewers, and including much more rainfall. 'The
planof the board proposes to intercept one-quarter of
an inch of rain running in 24 hours. They pro-
vide for two-fifths of an inch of rain running
off in eight hours, each being for urban districts,
or an increase of 880 per cent. The only advan-
tage gained by this enlargement of the sewers to
include more storm waters is, that it would prevent
the overflow of the storm waters into the river on
from 10 to 12 rainy days in the'year more than by
the plan of the board. But on those days the
river would be much swollen, and its waters turbid,
and the effect of the storm overflows would
therefore be quite imperceptible, and the folloWing
evils are involved in the enlargement. First, un-
necessary and extravagant cost • and, second, de-
fective sowers which would collect deposit, and
create offensive smells during the summer months,
for the daily flow of sewage in such large sewers,
with so little fall, would be a mere driblet through
them, and could not cleanse them. Such arrange-
'merits must, therefore, necessarily perpetuate
existing
.evils, which a plan of interception is
intended to remove.
Mr. LESLIE moved that the answers be printed
and circulated amongst the members of the board.
Mr. CARPMAEL seconded the motion, which was
put and unanimously agreed to.

MAYORALTY.

MANSION HOUSE (Tins DAY),
The farther hearing of the charge preferred by Aller-
man Sir R. W. Csadeu agaiast Mr. Ross was resumed
this morning before tee. Loral Mayor.
Mr. Humplareye appeared for the complainant ; Mr.
Levi,(Ely-pleee) foe the dsferiditot.
Mr." 511 Jard, Under-sheriff, was re-called and cross-
examined by Mr. LetviJ—l first ea 1 a conversation with
'Sir R. Carden relative to his el 'ction in the middle di
August, at his coon inghouse, Exchange-buildings. "I
went t here byappointment w ith Mr. Whitehead, on whom
I had previously easlei. When I saw Sir R. Cerde9 I
commu ,seated to him the substance of a conversateon
that bad taken- place been me and Mr. Aederton, the
then under-sheriff, to the effect teat he was determined
to oppose the election of Sir R. Carden. He replied
that he did not believe Mr. Anderton would take any
such steps. I observed that my opinion was that
In he was determined to do se; and suggested to Sir R.
Career' the propriety of making ssme arrangements if it
should appear that Mr. Anderten continued in the same
mind. -Sir- R. Carden asked me what arrangements
I referred to. I replied, requeFting several of his friends
to form a committee to protect his interests in case of
need, an 1 if opposed is secure the services of a compe-
tent agent. Sir R. Carden replied that he considered it
altogether unnecessary, and that he should not ask any
of his friends to do so; he said, moreover, that it the
high position which he had for so many years sustained
without reproachl in thia city would not of itself corn-
mend the support of his fed iw citizens he certainly
should hot ask them to vita for him ; then I think
Sir It. Carden referred to the duties of the sheriffs in
preventing the admissioe of persons not entitled to vote to
the h all; in taking leave of him I saieyou understand I do
not intend to take any steps whaever bathe meantime ;
if you should hear, anything more oa the subject you
cantle the best you can for me, or words to that effect.
Teat ended that interview; the next interview was on
Friday, the 18th ult. I -net Mr. Alderman Cubitt on
my way to my office, and in coueequeuco of what
passed between les I went direct to my office, where Sir
Richard Carden was waiting to see use.. Sir Richard
said he found an oppersitionin Mr. Aialertoo. No one
was present with us at either of the interviews. Ile
said Mr. Anderton's opposition was a determined one,
and it might be necessary for him (Sir R. Carden) to
demand a poll. He requested me to accompany him to
Mr. Alderman . Wire's, in order to confer on the
measures whi9h it might be prudent to adopt un-
der the circumstance.. I did su, and after waiting
some time we had an interview with hon. No other
persons were. present.. After, intro isoing the subject
to Alderman Wire, who anticipated our business, the
subj :et of Mr. A73ciertou'e oppesitio a was discussed, as
ale the propriety of taking Ines, urea t) resit it.
Mr. Lewis—What was prepos ed to be done !
Witn4s—Tnat an agent should be appointed.
Mr. Lewis--By whom
Wituess—l bilieve I mentioned it for the purpose of
conducting the p .11 on the part of Sir It Carden, who
observed that be should assuredly demand a poll, for
the expanses, of it would fall on the Sheriffs. Alderman
Wire explained to Alderman Carden that was not
quite so, as the candidates would have to pro-
vide agents to solicit, bring up voters, and object
to votes. I then suggested that the more correct course
perhaps would be, that the deputy and common council
of the Dowgate and Walbroek wards, to which the
aldermen respectively belonged, should be requested to
constitute themselves into a committee for the parposes
of the election. Teat was assented to by both aldermen,
and iu consequence of that Sir It. Carden asked me, as
a matter of favour, to accompany him to his deputy (Mr.
Deputy Kebble). I did so, and eau Deputy Kebble in
his counting-house, with Mr. Shepherd, his partner. I
then stated to Mr. Deputy Kebble what bad passed
at the iuterviewab Mr. Alderman Wire's, and requested
Min to put hitnselliatdcommunicatiou with the Common
Council of the Ward of Walbreolt fur that purpose ; Sir
R. Carden made a statement which I do not recollect,
and I then referred to an interview I had had with Mr.
Rose ; I don't think a commit ea had been formed be-
fore I saw Mr. Ross ; I suggested his employment as
agent for the legitimate purposes of the election ; Mr.
Deputy Kebble said I understood the purposes for which
be is to be employed, and it will be necessary to have souse
agent ; R. Carden being utterly averse, and would
not sanction any of the proceedings usually taken at
election* was not deposed to have the defendant or any
employed. I again referred to the necessity of having
an agent employed under the direction of the committee,
and the result was left to Mr. Deputy Kebble. When
about to leave with Sir R. Carden, he said to Deputy
" Now, we must settle about Millard's retain-
ing fee." My answer was, "to see Sir R. Carden
Maysr as my retainer, ior, his success would be my
reward," We all waked up Allba'lowes-lane tcgether,
and I asked Sir Robert Carden whether be desired
to be Lord Mayer, and he said that he must
be Lord Mayor, and that the proper steps
must be taken. As we approached Alderman Wire's
office Sir Robert Carden took out his watch and saw it
was 12 o'clock, and observed he was behind his time
and must go to the justice-room, demising use to go to
Alderman Wire and communicate what had occurred at
Mr. Babble's, and apologise for his not returning. I did
so, and on my reaching h one I sect immediately for
Mr. Rose, who called at my office about half-an-hour
afterwards. I told Mr. • 'Rose. that I was not
now concerned in the matter, but that he must
go to Mr. Deputy Robbie. Tee subject of
money was mentioned by Me to Mr. Rose.
Mr. Lewis —Did the defendant at any time thsea'in
to print or publish, or abstain from doing so, bny libel
or libellous matter ? •
Witness—Nothing of the sort.
Mr. Lewis—Did he *upon any occasion whatever
threaten that unless money was given him, on the part
of Sir It. Carden, that he would do anything to prevent
his election 1

Witness—No, he did not. lle did not see Sir R.
Carden, the defendant, or Mr. Kebble from the 18th till
26th of September, about 10 o'clock, when Sir It. Car-
den came to my office and said that he had received
intormatiou on which he could rely, that Mr. Alderman
Wire had forfeited his promise not to interfere in the
election, and that he (Me. Alderman Wire) and Mr.
Anderton bad combined to defeat his election. I told
him that I did not believe the report, because I had
known Mr. Alderman Wire for a great many years, and
I never knew him or Mr. Andeitoa break their pro-
mises. Sir R. Carden said, nevertheless, that he knew
it was so, and that his election was lost, and
he desired to know Mr. Ross's termq. (This was
the day on which the summons was obtained.)
I then distinctly toll hllrr Rose's terms were 1001. to
cover all the expenses of
the poll and 50/. niers if Sir R.
was successful. Sir R. observed, " Well that makes
1501." Shortly after, Sir R. said " Nell, lam going to
take some proceedings against Rose, for some bill put up
in Gtainall-yard." I said to Sir R. Carden, "I hope
you have considered well the course you are about to
take, for you gave us your assurance that my connection
wi:h you, as well as Mr. Alderman Wires connection
with you that the confidenceehould remain undisclosed.
Mr. Lewis—lio you know that Sir R. Carden at-
tended here afterwards and took out this summons ?
Witness—l don't know. I saw it was so afterwards
by the newspapers.
Mr. Humphreys—You may take it as so. Your
summons shows it.

Witness continued —On the 20th Sept. I attended the
Conitn.m Hall !-
up to that time the defendant had not
been beamin defence of this clue. At the hustings I
heard Sir It. Carden complain of tie rier3ecution he had
been sahk.mted to. The defendant is well known in the
city, and is applied to in all important city elections.
Every one tries to secure his services.
The Lard Mayor_l did not retain Mr. Ross for my
election.

Witness continued—When I sent Mr. RO3O to Deputy
Kel.hls, I certainly led biM to believe be was to be Sir
R. Carien's election agent. All communications between
me and Rose were to be consideted confidential.
By Mr. Humphreys—I have employed Mr. Rose in
two city electious—the list time in 1851—one for sheriff
the other for alderman.

The Lord Mayor having an important engagement,
the further hearing of tho .ease was adj )urued till
Monday.

On Thor: -
day an inquest was hrl I by Mr. W. Payne, coroner for
the City, at the Schoo!-roeme df Walbrook Ward, Sal-
ter's Hall-court, on view of the body of William Holmes, a compositor, who came by aged 50,his death under
very painful circumstances. It appeared that for some
days past the deceased had been very unhappy-in hie
mind on account of domestic troubles, and was said to
have had recourse to drink. About ten o'clock on
Tueslay morning, a bargeman, passing through the
centre arch of Southwark-bridge in his barge, saw the
deceased struggling in the river. He must have thrown
himself off the bridge. With great difficulty the barge-
man managed to get him into his.boat, and conveyed him
ashore, when he was carried insensible to the City police
station, Bow-lane, and by the prompt and humane treat-
ment applied by the officers he recovered. He was
then removed (by whose orders did cot transpire) to the
Mansion house justice-room, to be examined before the
Lord Mayer. The man, when led to the cell, appeared
in a most exhausted state, and much surprise was
evinced by the gaoler and officers of the court at his
