PROROGATION

PARLI A 3/ E N T.

THIS DAY.

HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH.

Parliament was prorogued this d.►y, by Com-
mission.

The Speaker, attended by the Serjeant-at-Arms
and other officers, and accompanied by several
metubcrs of the Lower house, appeared at the bar
of the louse of Lords.

The Royal assent having been pronounce 1 in re.
spect of several Bills,
The Royal Message was read by the Lard Chau-
ccllor, as folows

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
I am happy to b.: ena')led to release you from
your labour:7, and to offer you my acknowledgments
for the diligence with which you have applied your-
selves to your Parliamentary duties.
My relations with foreign Powers remain friendly
E
and satisfactory. I have no reason to apprehend
that urope will ba exposed to the calamity of war,
and my policy will continue ti ba directed to secure
the blessings of peace.

I announced to you at the beginning of this ses-
sion that I bad directed an expedition to be sent to
Abyssinia to liberate my envoy, and others of my
subjects, detained by the ruler of that country in an
unjust captivity.

I feel sure that you will Share in my sAtisfaction
at the complete success which has attended that
expedition. After a march of 400 miles, through
a difficult and unexplored country, my troops took
the strong place of Magdala, freed the clptives,
and vindicated the honour of my Crown; and by
their immediate return, without one act of op-
pression or needless violence, prove' that the ex-
pedition had been undertaken only in obedience to
the claims of humanity, and in fulfilment of the
highest duties of my sovereignty.
The cessation of the long-continued efforts to
promote rebellion in Ireland has for some time ren-
dered unnecessary the exercise by the Executive of
exceptional powers. I rejoice to learn that no
person is now detained under the provisions of the
Act for the suspension of the habeas corpus, and
that no prisoner awaits, trial in Ireland for an
offence connected with the Fenian conspiracy.
GENTLEMEN OF TLIE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
I have to thank you for the liberal supplies which
you have voted for the public service.
MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

1 have had much satisfaction in giving my assent
to a series of measures completing the great work
of the amendment of the representation of the
people in Parliament, which has engaged your
attention for two Sessions.

I have seen with satisfaction that the time neces-
sarily occupied by this comprehensive subject has
not prevented you dealing with other questions of
great public interest, and I have gladly given my
sanction to bills for the better government of public
schools, the regulution of railways, the amendment
of the law relating to British sea fisheries, and for the
acquisition and maintenance of electric telegraphs
by the Post master- General ; and to several important
measures having for their object the improvement
of the law, and of the civil and criminal procedures
iu Scotland.

By the appointment of a comptroller-in-Chief
in the War Office a considerable reform in Army
administration has been commenced, which, by
combining at home and abroad the various depart-
ments of military supply under one authority, will
conduce to greater economy ani efficiency both in
peace and war.

It is my intention to dissolve the present Parlia-
ment at the earliest day that will enable my people
to reap the benefit of the extended system of repre-
sentation which the wisdotn of Parliament has pro-
vided for them. I look with entire confidence to
their proving themselves worthy of the high privi-
lege with which they have thus been invested ; and
I trust that, under the blessing of Divine Provi-
dence, the expression of their opinion on those great
questions of public policy which have occupied the
attention of Parliament and remain undecided may
tend to maintain unimpaired that civil and religious
freedom which hat been secured to all my subjects
by the institutions and settlement of my realm.

RAILIVAY INJELLIGEIvCE.

LONDON, BP.IGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the International Hotel,
London-blidge Station; Mr. S. Laing, M P., in
the chair.
Mr. Searle, the secretary, having read the notice
convening the meeting, the report, an a')stract of
which appeared in the. 7iincs, was taken as read.
Thz CnamtaN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said it would not be nec.Mary for him to
detain them at any length, as the position of the
company was now simple and straightforward.
The capital account had been practically close 1.
The enormous mass of liability which pressed
upon the company last year had now been got rid
of, or had been reduced within manageable
limits. The largest portion of it was for liabi-
lities in connexion with lines in progress or in
course of being wound up. lie was glad to say
that the borrowing powers, as delinel by a
recent Act, would be ample for meeting all the lia-
bilities of the conipay. As far as the directors
could sec, there would be no necessity for issuil,.
any portion of the £1,000,000 of additional ordi-
nary stook authorized by the Act of 1868. (Hear,
hear.) lie had explained on a former occasion that
it was necessary to ask for that power, because
they were not certain up to the last moment that
Parliament would sanction the full amount of de-
benture power. It was well known that private
bill legislation was very different from legislation on
public bills. In the latter case they had three
estates of the realm —the Queen, the Lords, and
the Commons—to deal with, whereas in private
bill legislation they had the Queen, 12' rds, Com-
mons, and Lord Redesdale—(hear, hear)—and they
could not feel sure that Lord gedesdale would not
prevent them in some way from getting their full
debenture power. They all knew that objections
had been raised which were only got over with
great difficulty. If the debenture power, in-
stead of being £590,000, were only for £300,000,
there would have been a deficiency of more than
£200,000 Off that•head, it being necessary to make
provision for the outside possible liability in respect
of the Surrey and Sussex and Chichester and Mid-
hurst lines. But arrangements had been made by
which those luestions had been referred to the ar-
bitration of the Duke of Richmond, and the result
of that reference had been to enable them to make
a settlement of the remaining claims, which so far
reduced the outride possible liabilities by more thaa
£lOO,OOO. The outside liabilities, therefore, instead
of being £275,000, would not be more than £175,000,
even if the award of the Duke of Richmond were to
be entirely against them, which he certainly did IRA
anticipate ; so that, between the debenture power and
the saving under the Surrey and Sussex and other

arrangements, it made a difference of about

£300,000; but of course they were obliged to make
: provision to meet all possible contingencies. As the
matter now stood they believed allliabilities would be
covered by the company's debenture powers, so that
they might dismiss from their minds any apprehen-
sion as to the issue of £1,003,000 ordinary stock at
a discount. In addition to the provision made for
capital, there still remained considerable surplus
lands to dispose of, and out of those they had suc-
ceeded in making an important purchase for the
company of the International Hotel, close to the
station, for 30,000 guineas, the property having
cost about £147,000, and from the position of the
hotel it might be essential to the railway company
at any time; and he believed it could not have been
purchased compulsorily for less than £lOO,OOO. The
revenue account showed that the gross receipts for
the past year had been £1,295,000, and the expen-
diture for the past half-year was now reduced to
£311,000, and of course for the current half-
year the expenses would be more—say about
£703,000 for the year, which, deducted from the
£1,295,000, would leave about £600,000 of net re-
venue. The total preference and debenture charges
amounted to £560,000, leaving a small balance of
about £20,003 towards ordinary dividend. The
or Unary dividend of the company must entirely de-
pend upon thr:e sources— the opening of the new
lines, the increase of fares, and the reduction of ex-
puditure. The South Loudon and Sutton line
would be opened in September, and might be con-
sidered similar for traffic to the Croydon line, and
therefore ought after a short time to become pro-
ductive. The small increase in the fares would
come into operation on the Ist of August, the effect
of which would be to give the company an iacreme
of 12 per cent. on first and second class fares. He
thought it would give them some addition to the
receipts, and as the normal increase of traffic
on all the lines was about £60,000 or
£70,033 p.r annum they would have some-
thing to look forward to for ordinary dividenl ;
but they must not be too sanguine ou this account
during the present year, as the very great heat of
the weather and the depression of trade would still
affect their pleasure traffic to some extent, and tend
to check the, return of that buoyancy which existed
in their traffic previous to the panic of 1866. What-
ever the result of the present half-year's working
might be, the increase, he thought, would be shown
in the net profits. As the gross tratlic on the line
increased they would be able to keep down the
percentage of expenses, and he trusted the result
would be to augment the amount available for the
ordinary dividend. (Hear, hear.) With respect to
rthe Working Union Bill, it had been withdrawn.
(A voice —" Glad to hear it.") The Bid was with-
drawn in consequence of the Committee of th..:
House of L)rds insisting upo the condition of limit-
ing the tolls over the whole of the lines to the maxi-
mum of the tariff sanctioned for the Brighten
Company. The South-Eastern Company did nut
see their way clear unl r such coalitions, and
therefore, with the cmcarreace of the other coal-
' pany, the IVorkiug Union 13.11 was withdrawn. He
wished to correct an error iu the report which stated
that the I rineiples of a working union had been
unanimously sanctione I by ceannittees of both
houses ; it should have been " unanimously by the
Committee of the House of Commons, and by the
majority of the Committe of the House of Lords."
The bill having been thus disposed of, it would be
useless to revive a discussion upon it. The board
held the same opinion as before of the advantages
of a working union. The agreement had now fallen
to the ground ; but it might be revived if they saw
a fair chance of obtaining acceptable conditions in
Parliament. On the other hand, he did not think
they should keep things in suspense as to their own
internal arrangements; should the negotiations be
resumed the shareholders would have a fair oppor-
tunity of considering any arrangement that might
be come to, and of expressing their opinions, as
they had done in the past. (Hear.)
Mr. J. LEVY, deputy-chairman, seconded the
motion fur the adoption of the report.
Mr. SaaruDA moved, as an amendment, " That
the £5,500 credit() Ito the solicitors of the company,
and include 1 in the Parliamentary expenses, and
the expense (.£120) of the proxies sent out on the
occasion of the meeting held in February last be
expunged from the accounts." He did not raise the
slightest objection to the legal proceedings against
the old directors in respect of the Surrey and Sussex
line. No one felt more than he That blame was
attachable to the former Board for the insane pro-
ceedings which had brought the company to the
brink of. ruin. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would
have been better in the first instance to have offered
to submit the matter to arbitration, and, if refused,
then to have filed their Bill. He had told the pro-
prietors on a former occasion that they would find
their working expenses nearer 50 per cant. than GO
per cent , and that they would not require to raise
any portion of Ithe £1,000,000 of additional ordi-
nary stock now sanctioned in the Act, 1868.

Mr. FILDER seconded the amendment. He was
glad that Parliament had not sanctioned what he
considered a most unfair agreement for the Brighton
Company. He alleged that the directors had acted
more in the interests of the South-Eastern than in
those of the Brighton Company with reference to
the Working Union Bill. (Cries of " Time,
time!") The working expenses were now brought
down to 53 per cent., and he had no doubt they
would be lower.

Mr. C. LEGG said ho had expressed au opinion
at a former meeting that the proposed agreement
was against the interests of the Brighten Company.

The working expenditure on the Brighton had been
reduced from 75 to 55 per cent., and the.) were told
that the proportion might be still further re lured
when the traffic increase'. He hoped the directors
would not cuter into working agreements with other
companies until their ling was brought under a good
and caunomical sy-ste:n of management. Ha be-
lieved, if they weat steadily en, that in the courst•
of two years they would have Circa or four per
cent. dividend.

After some. further discussion, the report was
adopted, and Vie proceedings terminated.

FIRE AT GREENIVICII-7 111 S DAY.

Whilst the fire in Finsbury was raging, ano'.ller
one, which unfortunately was attended with great
lugs of property, took place in the premises belong-
ing to Mr. F. M. Argars, licensed victualler,
known as the Wheatsheaf Tavern, No. 11, Church-
street, Greenwich. Th: flumes originated from
some unknown cause in the bar, and idmited
the barrels and spirit casks, an I Mir,: any attenpt
could be made to reach the seat of the the 11 1„,,e,
rolled up the staircases and ignited nearly a d -zen
rooms: The inmates fortunately succee led in
reaching the street in safcy. Nainerots engines
of the Metropolitan Brigade, including two lAnd
steatnets by Stand, M tson, and C promptly
attended, and the nument water was obtained the
firemen went to work in first-rate style, but they
were unable to get the coufl tgration extinguished
until the premises and the valuable contents were
nearly destroyed. The origin of this fire is also un-
known. Mr. Argars was fortunately insured in the
Phoenix -fire-office.

OPENING OF THE THAMES EMBANK-

MEN 7.

The Thames Embankment between Westminster-
bridge and the Temple is now complete, and was
yestLrday formally thrown open to the public.
About 350 ladies and gentlemen assembled at half-
past eleven o'clock at the north pier of Westmin-
ster-bridge for the purpose of witnessing the
opening of the footway. Amongst those present
were Sir John Thwaites, Lord J. Manners, M.P.,
Lord Ebury, Right lion. F. IV. Cowper, M.P.,
Mr. Tite, M.P., Alderman Lawrence, M.P.,
Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Colonel Hogg, M.P., Alder-
man Salomons, 111,13., the Lord Mayor, Mr.
Lowman Taylor, Mr. Collison and Mr. De
Brun (members of the board), Mr. Fur-
ness and Mr. 11. Harrison (contractors), Mr.
Bazalgette (engineer of the works), Mr. Humber,
Mr. Hepworth Dixon, &c. This party proceeded
along the footway, which was railed off from where
the workmen are still employed, to the Temple,
where Sir John Thwaites was met by Mr. Anderson,
Q.C., who, on behalf of the benchers of the Middle
Temple, congratulated Sir John on the success of
the embankment. At a given signal, several shots
were fired, and Sir John Thwaites declared the
footway open. The visitors, as they proceeded
down the footway, stayed to admire the gangways
and piers, and expressed themselves highly
pleased with the prospect of in future being able
to alight on a spacious " dummy" without the
horror in prospect of haying to climb those
wooden bridges that might try the sureness of a
foot of a mule after all the practice of the Abys-
sinian campaign. It is easy to realise what a
beautiful walk this footway will be, with a purified
river on one side, and on the other well laid-out
gardens, with their breadths of
,turf, and vases and
beds of flowers, and long-winding walks ; and, as
we would fain suggest, successive fountai As. The con-
tract from Westminster to Waterloo Bridge was un-
dertaken in the first instance by Mr. G. Furness, and
completed by Messrs. Brassey, Ogilvie, and Harri-
son ; that east of Waterloo to the Temple by Mr.
Webster, to whom that from the Tempt: to Black-
friars has recently been let by contract, a-id which
will be completed simultaneously with the new
street between Blackfriars and the Mansion House.
Mr. Webster is also c nupleting the continuation
of the southern embankment front Lambeth Palace
to Vauxhall. The length of the - embankment
from Westminster-bridge to Blackfriars-bridge
is 6,610 feet, and the cost as tendered fur £875,000.
The cost of the contract fro.n Westminster-bridge
on the southern side, up as far as Vauxhall, is
£309,000, the length of the new roadway
being 5,000 ft., and its width 60ft. The com-
pany having embarke I on board a couple of
steamers, proceeded to the North Woolwich
pier, near to which a train was in waiting,
which conveyed them to the Abbey Milk Pumping.
Station of the Main Drainage Works of Len-
don. . The building is shaped like a cross, in
the middle there being a kind of dome or
cupola. There are eight engines, each of
142 horse power, two of which aro ar-
ranged length-wise and parallel in each arm
of the building, which are protected by iron
raiings mounted with polished mahogany.
The pumps at the Abbey Mills lift the sewage of
Acton, II untmrstnitb, Fulham, Shepherd's Bush,
Kensington, Brompton, Pimlico, Westminster, the
City, Whitechapel, Stepney, Mile-eud, Wapping,
Litnehouee, Bow, and Poplar, representing an area
of 23 saner° miles, a height of 36ft. from the low
level to the high level sewers, where it will flow on
by the side of the high level gravitating sewers
to the northern or B Irking outf all, where it is
c irried off with ,ut the aid of pumps. The
maximum quanti•y of sewage and rainfall
which it is es'imated the engi.ies in
Abbey Mills will have to lift is 15,000 cubic
feet per minute. The sewage which is brought into
the pump-well Ilona the low level sewer is, before
admission, strained of " any extraneous matter"
which would either not .pa s through or be detri-
mental to the pump valves, by ineaas of cages of
wrought-iron bars. From the sewage well the water,
hating been lifted through rectangular cast-iron
pipes, is forced through cast-iron cylinders, six feet
in diameter, into an air vessel in the centre of the
buil Hng, where it is forced through a cylinder ten
feet in diameter, and then having passed through
another cylinder ten feet six inches in diameter, is
carried into the outfall S2.ver and so discharged.
Already the utilisation t.f the sewage his com-
mence 1, and a Linn of 2.50 acres at B irking has
been irrigated therewith, and grass and root crops
and fruit. raised in luxurious abundance.
An elegant luncheon was served at three o'clock
in a spacious marquee, Sir John Thwaites presiding.
Luncheon being over the usual loyal toasts were
drunk with enthusiasm. The chairman then pro-
posed " The health of the House of Lords," which
was responded to by Lord Ebury, and was in its
turn followed by that of the House of Com-
mons. Lord John Manners, in responding, said
the House of Commons coul 1, at any rate, boast
of having had something to do with carrying out
this great work, and he felt that. in lookiig at so
great an undertaking, brought to a successful
issue, the lines of Pope naturally suggested them-
selves—

" Such blessings poace to happy Britain brings,
These are imperial works, and worthy kings."
Lord John Manners then proposed the health
of the chairman, at the same time paying him
a high compliment for engineering skill. Sir
John Thwaitcs, in responding, reminded the
visitors of the hot season, and yet how little of un-
pleasantness had been experienced from the Thames
as compared with former years, and, amid loud
cheers; pointed out that in London the state of
health was better by five per cent. than the average
in the whole country. At this moment it might be
contrasted with any city in the kingdom. The
engineering difficulties had been very great, but
they had all been overcome. The other toasts
given were " The Lord Mayor, Aldermen,
and Town Council," " The health of Mr.
Bazalgette," proposed by Mr. Tite, and " The
Contractors," proposed by Mr. Ayrton, and
responded to by Mr. Webster ; the toast of " The
Ladies" finishing this part of the proceedings.

During luncheon an excellent band played at
intervals, and after the toasts there was a concert,
in which the Sisters Doris, Mis 3 Helene D'Alton,
Mr. Vernon Rigby, and Mr. Renwick sang several
popular glees and sAections. At six o'clock the
train left foi Woolwich, where the party found two
steamers ready to convey them to London.
