ON Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of last week, May 25, 26, and 27, the Institution of Civil Engineers held a conference. This is a thing unprecedented in the annals of the Institution, it having confined itself hitherto to weekly meetings during the London season. Not only were there daily sittings, many of them proceeding simultaneously, for the reading and discussion of several papers, but there were also excursions to works and “other objects of interest.” There was, as well, a conversazione; but this is no novelty for the Institution. A very large number of members attended the meetings, the Westminster Town Hall and the Westminster Guildhall having been retained for the purpose. The general plan of the conference was for one or more members to read a short note by way of initiating a discussion. As there were nearly fifty items in the programme, the congress being divided up into seven sections, it will be evident that in the small space at our disposal we cannot even refer to all the subjects brought forward.
