TOM LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 17. BLoon, according to the proverb, is thicker than water, and though the Atlantic rolls between the Americana and ourselves it is quite clear that the descendants of Englishmen in the States still retain a large amount of genuine English feeling. How could it be otherwise, indeed f A whole people can no more cut themselves off from the influence of their historical antecedents and tradi tions than a man can jump from his own shadow. And the Americans, notwithstanding their obtrusive pride in their superior republican fixings, and their noisy abuse of the outworn government machinery on this side of the water, have a sincere attachment to the old country, and a real though unacknow ledged respect for the old institutions. The visit of the Prince of WALits has naturally developed this latent feeling in the strongest form. Such a novel of American sentiment has an interest for us deeper than that of mere curiosity, and its special features are well worth noticing. There can be no doubt, in the first place, that Baron Reerater's reception in the United States is thoroughly hearty and enthu siastic. The New York journals are probably justified in saying " that the enthusiasm has been " even greater than was displayed by the people " of the British provinces." Bet the welcome, if quite as hearty as that given to the Parka in Canada, is in many respects very different, being thoroughly American and independent. The curiosity is more intense, and the criticism more free, while at the same time the general interest is more spontaneous and disinterested. That the curiosity should be intense is quite natural. It is the first visit a British Prince has ever paid to the great and powerful Anglo-Saxon empire which has sprung with such magical rapidity from a few primitive British settlements. To the mass of the people in those cities of the West royalty is only a vague tradition, "read of in books," perhaps, " and dreamt of in dreams," but never in any shape brought within their actual experience. Kings and princes are in their mind connected with the American soil only by dim but brilliant memories of their forefathers' early struggles and triumphs. The original notion many had formed of a Royal Prince probably included something haughty and repulsive, if not tyrannical and over bearing. It M true that the reports which pre ceded the Paieez would have considerably modi fied such a preconceived opinion. But they would at the same time intensify the popular curiosity. This must be borne in mind in reading the account of the Palecz's reception on his arrival at St. Louis and Cincinnati—of the immense crowds that filled the streets, the quays, the stations, and every spot where the ?twice was likely to be visible even for a moment—and the exclamations that greeted his appearance. The behaviour and exclamations of the crowd evinced the strong excitement of the popular mind—an ex citement evidently compounded of real interest and the honest desire to find out, by actual in spection, what a live Prince was like. At Alton, for example, when the Pater' went on board the steamer waiting to convey him to St. Louis, the crowds that lined the landing-place had the oppor tunity of taking a good look at him, and the im mediate result was an audible photograph of his appearance, dress and manners. " His nose is " Roman." " He seems fagged." " He looks " pleasant." "I thought Ina hair was lighter." "There's no harm in that face, sure." The last exclamation probably one of agreeable surprise from some simple-minded citizen, who had imagined a Royal Prince would almost of necessity be physically obnoxious to the repub lican mind. The spectators were astonished and delighted to find in the representative of the hated institution of monarchy a quiet, gentlemanly youth, with a bright eye, pleasant smile, and charming manner. " He's regular Dutch," is probably the curt compliment of another equally gratified spectator. Indeed, it is easy to see that the popular curiosity, while intense and even ob trusive in form, and free in utterance, is far enough from being hard, vulgar, or unsympathetic. It is frank, kindly, and even considerate ; for, taking into account the enormous size of the crowds assembled to greet the Parses, there has been little of that rough and boisterous behaviour ahuost inseparable from the hurried movements of large masses to a particular point. The better classes of American society seem, indeed, to be particularly anions on this point. They are laudably anxious to convince the Prince of W►Lea that the amplest political liberty does not involve social license. The New Yost Herald reflects this feeling in giving as account of the Palace's reception at St. Louie :—" The turbo " lent irregularity of a mob," says the writer, " however well meant or dictated by good feeling, " could not fail to grate harshly upon one of so " much natural and acquired refinement. There " fore the lower strata of the democratic element " may prove somewhat uncongenial to him. But " I am happy to say that the people of the " United States generally, and the superior order " particularly, have studied his comfort, pleasure, " and wishes, with a delicacy dictated by that " good sense which is their prevailing character " late-, that has not failed to impress him " and his suite with a very favourable idea " of American consideration and courtesy." The impression which the PRIN. It has hitherto produced upon the American people is certainly equally favourable. All the accounts agree in stating that his appearance and manner have won the send will of the people wherever he has ap peared, and that the longer he stoi s in a place, and the better he is known, the more he is liked. The Newt York Herald even goes so far as to say " not only that there is a universal desire to pay " him respect and du him honour," but that "the " affections have been widely enlisted in his eel " fan•." This feeling pervades all claims of citi zens and emigrants able. In America the old traditi-nal loyalty of the Irish, so long sup • A pressed by interested ,agill•Son and clerical aliens at home, has ices play once moat, and comes out with characteristic fervour. " No clam of citixens,"says *local American paper, " were more boisterous and enthusiastic in their " greetings of Baron RIWYRZW than the sons of " the Emerald illegant ' way they had " of following the advice of a sage Guardian, that " advised them to have no part or lot in the " matter. When the PRINCE was seated in the car " yesterday morning, ready for his departure, an " Irishman was observed giving vent to his feelings " in a manner that showed that he was fairly over " come with enthusiasm. After showering a score " of compliments on the Prunes, he gave the coup "de grace by swinging his hat and shouting, Be " dad, and come back here four years from now " and we'll run you for President.' The Royal " suite were greatly amused at this unex " pected invitation, and the PRINCE came near turn • " bling from his seat in a paroxysm of laughter." At Harrisburg another enthusiastic Irishman got ready an open carriage and four greys for the Panrce's use on his arrival. Hitherto, in fact, the Paixca's progress has been a triumph, and his successes will no doubt be crowned at Washington and New York. If our cousins across the water are hearty in their welcome, they at the same time vindicate their independence by a kind of criticism that is at once curious and characteristic. At the Cincinnati ball, for example, we are told that "the Puttee was " apparently very much embarrassed at times ;" and also " that he made several mistakes, not being " au fait in American style," whatever that may be ; "but ho soon recovered himself, and enjoyed " himself in his usual style," which it would seem is not exactly American. Again, when he ap peared at St. John's church o the morning after the bell, we are told that he was " dressed as " usual," with the comment—" Some people say " he is looking seedy, but be is probably saving " his ` best clothes ' for his New York visit." This is decidedly an American, or, rather, New York criticism. The Broadway swell prides himself above all things on the glossy newness of his whole suit, his shining hat, loud patterns, and obtrusively fashionable cut. He does not yet understand the beauty and mystery of that exqui site fit and quiet style which is the true perfection of dress. The Prince of Waimea appearance will be a powerful " caution " to these gentlemen. The most amusing kind of criticism, however, which the PRINCE'S visit has elicited is the kind of apologetic explanation some journals think it needful to offer of the enthusiastic welcome given to royalty by a democratic people. " Man is by nature regal and princely," says a St. Louis journal. " Democracy is the cordial " recognition of this fact, and seeks not to un " crown men, except by crowning all men. " Heaven meant mankind for a race of kings and " queens, princes and princesses, and to realise " that end is the aim of democracy. In ages of " rudeness, homage to the royal character of " some men was a step towards the general culture "of such character. In our time, and in this conn " try, we claim to have emerged from that period " of pupilage—to have done adulating, and to " have become kings. But exclusive royalty is " part of the history of human progress—a sale " tory and not dishonourable part, and as such " commands interest. This is an interest in con " ventional royalty not only justifiable but honour " able. The more intelligent and genial the citi " min is, the deeper will be that interest. Nor is " curiosity 'in itself mean or unworthy. We " are so made that we love to see and learn, " and when an object of legitimate interest has " for us the charm of novelty, curiosity is praise " worthy in proportion as it is intense. These " remarks are made in vindication of the intelli " gent interest felt by the American public on the " occasion of the visit of the Prince of WALEN to " our shores. Without a particle of undemocratic " deference, our people may laudably gratify the " wish to see the heir prospective of the British " throne." From this lofty height of principle the orator suddenly descends again to the common level of fact by stating in the next sentence that " Baron RENFREW and suite arrived at St. Louis "at half-past five o'clock last evening." The fact is, the latent feelings of the people are far stranger than their abetract attachment to any exclusive principle. And they have received the Heir to the British throne like the descendants of Eng lishmen. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, OCT. 16.

The Pays contains the following important news : " We are informed in a manner almost certain that the Austrian government has resolved to effect serious reforms in its triple system—political, financial, and administrative. The Emperor, well advised by the Archduke Maximilian, whose liberal sentiments are well known, and also by old councillors of the empire, from whom he was estranged before and during the last Italian war, has caused a constitution to be prepared, which we are assured has for its basis the elective principle with all the consequences flowing therefrom. It is thought that the Emperor will promulgate this constitution shortly after the Warsaw meeting, without, however, the realisation of this great poli tical act being in any way connected with the re sults of that interview." One correspondence says that the new Austrian oonstitution will greatly resemble that which pre vailed in France from 1830 to 184& VIENNA, TusanaT. Zeitung announces that Counts Nada&ly and Thun have reaolvea upon quitting the ministry. ENGLAND AND PRUSSIA. BKRLIN, WIDIfESDAT. The official Prussian Gazette contains a leading article upon the interview at Coblents, in which it says :—" The cordial relations which have ever existed between England and Prussia will continue to exist, if the two countries do not mutually mis understand their true interests. These relations have become more deeply rooted, and have acquired increased firmness and extension by the confer enoe at Coblents, and by the ready exchange of views which then took place between the leading statesmen of the two countries. In view of the present great complications in the European political system, the more satisfactory it is to be enabled to state that there was a coincidence between the views and opinions of England and Prusria on the great and important questions of the day." The article thus concludes :—" While the Warsaw interview is a proof of a good under standing of Prussia with her eastern neighbours the happy results of the interview at Coblentx proves that Prussia understands how to cultivate the highly important interests by which she is bound to England." SPAIN. MADRID, Ocr. 17. On the arrival of the Queen at the Puerta del Sol, at Madrid, a young man armed with a small pistol attempted to shoot her Majesty. The pistol, however, missed fire. The young man is believed to be insane. THE STATE OF NAPLES. We (Times) have received the following telegram from our Naples correspondent : " NAPLES, Ocr. 16. (7] "The Pro-Dictator has resigned, and will leave to-night The Ministry has also resigned. " Garibaldi desires an Assein'3ly to approve the voting ; also one for Sicily. "Great agitation and discontent prevails. "Strong patrols of the National Guard parade the streets." TURIN, OCT. l& Letters from Naples explain the offer of resigna tion made by the Pro-Dictator Pallavicini, which Las since been withdrawn. The republican; accused Pallavicini of having prevented the enrolment of volunteers. Garibaldi, yielding to their influence, was about to dismiss his ministers and to convoke a provincial parliament for the Ilth Nov., but he was opposed by public opinion. Advises from Perugia state that the Papal autho rities had diamiseed many functionaries at Viterbo. The emigration of the inhabitants of Viterbo con. tinned. NAPLES, OCT. 13 (vi! Maneilles). Yesterday, in consequence of the resignations tendered by the Pro-Dictator Pallavicini and his ministers, the National Guard went to Garibaldi and represented to him that disturbances were im minent. The Dictator ordered them to fire on any person shouting in favour of a republic. The patrols which were afterwards sent through the streets were saluted with shouts of "Down with Manini !" " Down with Crispi !" The Dictator has published a proclamation, in which, after announcing the approaching arrival of Victor Emmanuel, he says : " let us be ready to receive the man whom Providence has sent us. There will be no more discord. Italy una and King Victor Emmanuel gabuituomo may be the perpetual symbols of our regeneration." A circular of the ministry expresaing the same ideas has also been published. . Despatches from Sicily announce that a decree bad been issued ordering the vote on the question of annexation to be taken on the 21st inst. This bad given great satisfaction. Flying columns had been despatched into the provinces of Sicily to enforce payment of the taxes. THE NEAPOLITAN FORCES. The Patric, continuing its military news from Naples, says : " As soon as the Piedmontese army is assembled it will march upon Venafro, a small place about 20 kilometres distant from Isernia, and will pass the Volturno at the ford of &Wavle, 3 kilometres from that town. Should the operation succeed the Neapolitan line will be cut in two, and Capua must of necessity surrender. It has been rumoured that the royal army, anticipating the Piedmontese move ment, would take the offensive and occupy Venafro before them. This plan would be a bold one, but the execution would require very numerous forces, and it is improbable that it will be adopted—the rather so because in a recent council of war it was debated whether it would not be desirable to evacuate Capua and retire behind the little river Garigliano, which falls into the sea 15 kilometres from Gaeta, and forms a good line of defence, being supported by a first-clam fortress." BAVARIA. MUNICH, Om. 16. The official Neue Mun4icner Zeitung publishes a telegram, dated Turin, 15th inst., asserting that great consternation prevailed among the members of the cabinet, as the ambassadors of Russia and Prussia had remitted formal protests against the Sardinian invasion of the kingdom of Naples. The Russian ambassador, adds the telegram, signified in addition that hi the event of no atten tion being paid to his protest he should demand his passports. AMERICA. QUEFITSTOWN, WEDMESDAT.

It appears to be toe that a French merchant man, the Protas of Marseilles, laden with stores for Gaeta, has been captured by Garibaldi's ships; but as the blockade has not been recognised by France, she will probably be restored to avoid disagreeable consequences. The Constitutiontut and the Pays won't allow anybody to abuse Victor Emmanuel but them selves. The twin journals have received in structions to be very angry to-day at the un measured language of the legitimist organs towards a sovereign who, "although his policy may be objectionable," is the "legitimate heir of one of the oldest royal houses." M. Grandguillot does the bidding in the Cotistitaticmnet, and the same work is achieved with even greater effect in the Pays by aM. de Lausibres. This gentle man exclaims with enthusiasm that in his eyes " crowns are always respectable, and that those who, in the name of any king whatsoever, throw dirt upon any crown are anarchists, false royalists, and violators of all laws, human and divine." This crusade on behalf of Victor Emmanuel, so imme diately after the great Boniface article, is decidedly funny. Some people are in too great a burry to forget that Victor Emmanuel is the father-in-law of the Emperor's cousin, and that the Prince Napoleon has not yet been sent off on a voyage round the world. There may be virtue yet in the famous "family compact." Only within the last two days T observe a favourable tone towards Italy in the government journals, which greatly countenances the opinion that, although M. Thouvenel may have been allowed to fire off his solitary Boniface shot, it means nothing. The Constitutionnel says that the information of the Opinion _Nationale, apropos of the Council- General of Algiers, was " incomplete ;" that "sus ceptibilities " were indeed awakened by a passage in M. de Vatiles speech, wherein that honourable magistrate expressed, and rightly, as the Constitu tionnel thinks, a hope that before long the Arab taxes would be collected upon the French system. But the Constitutionne/ is happy to learn that the momentary misunderstanding was promptly cleared up, and had neither the gravity nor the conse quences which the Opinion Nationale too hastily at tributed to it. This means, I suppose, to convey the impression that the news of the resignation of the Council-General of Algiers was false, but the Constitutionne/ does not say so. The Bonne was much firmer than yesterday. A variety of doubtful news was in circulation, among which the speculators for the rise selected to lay stress upon a report of a coolness between Austria and Russia just on the eve of the Warsaw meeting. The Rents rose 20c. both for cash and account, closing at 69fr. lbc. Mobilier rose Bfr. 7bc. Most of the railways were from lir. 26c. to 2fr. higher. Among the false news stirring to-day, of which there is a good deal, one palpable canard comes by telegraph from Marseilles, viz., that in consequence of Mars:Mfg refusal to leave Naples the Pro-Dic tator has prohibited Louis B!aoc from opening his national workshops. This is rank absurdity. Louis Blanc is not at Naples, and would certainly never think of operating among the lazzaroni at this time. _ _ _ M. Firmin Caraiguac, a first cousin of the cele brated General Cavaignac, has just died at Cabers. In the afternoon of the Bth inst. a detachment of Austrian volunteers arrived at Laybach, on their way from the Papal States, and very badly they behaved to the people on whom they were billeted. In the morning of the following day another and larger detachment was sent by rail from Trieste to the Laybach station, and on their arrival there the men grossly abused the Austrian officer to whose care they bad been intrusted. Some of them threatened to kill him, and displayed so much violence that he considered it advisable to send for assist ance. A company of the Styrian regiment King of the Belgians soon made its appearance and surrounded the car riages, from which the worstdiehaved of the volunteers were removed by main force. Information of what had occurred was forwarded by electric telegraph to Gratz, where the mercenaries behaved quietly enough, as they on their arrival found the station full of troops.

COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Sir B. W. CARDIN took the chair as Winn t(SCSA for the Lord Mayor, who was prevented by illness from attend. ing. The following aldermen were peewit:—Alderman Cubitt, Lord Mayor Elect; Messrs. Copeland, Wilson, Salomon', linmphers, Sir F. G. Moon, Lowestoft, Conder, Gabriel], Mollie, Finnic , and Yr. Alderman and Sherd Abbise. The learned Recorder was also present. The minute@ of the court held on the 29th of September were read and confirmed. governors Th e of tihe different gaols made their usual reports. It appeared that the number of prisoner, at pre sent confined in Newgate is 81, of whom 9 are in the in firmary. In the debtors' prison there are 207 prisoners, of whom 8 are in the infirmary ; and at Holloway 320 pri sonars, of whom 12 are in the infirmary. Alderman Primus moved that the petition of certain electors of the Ward of Tower, praying that the court would take steps to elect a fresh Common Councilman in the place of Mr. Thomas Barkley, should Le referred to the General =Committee. The petition represented that Mr. had not attended the courtfor six months, and that he was not prevented from doing so by illness or any other known cause, and the object of the petitioners was that this court should take the necessary steps to procure theeleetion of another gentleman to fill the office of Common Council. man in his place. Alderman COPZIAND seconded the motion, and said it ap peared to him that it was for the credit of the corporation that no time should be lost.. . . . The motion was put and carried unanimously, it being also agreed that notice should be given to Mr. B arkley of the intended proceeding. The usual precepts and orders having reference to Lord Mayor's-day were ordered to be issued. The Rev. Mr. Davis, the ordinary of the gaol of New• gate, presented his annual report, which was orthned to be printed. The gaol committee appointed to consider the subject of the nature, duties, and emoluments of the office of chaplain of the City Prison, Holloway, made a report in which they recommended that no alterations should be made, and that the new chaplain should receive the same salary of 3001. per annum, in addition to • reaideuoe, gas, and fuel, allowed to tbe late chaplain. The report was received and confirmed. The same committee also made a report in which they re. commended that an increase of salary hoald be . granted to certain officers of Newgate and Holloway prisons. An increase was recommended to the salary of the surgeon of Newgate of 30/. per annum, and to that cf the clerk of 10/. per annum, until it shall reach 1501. per annum. The salary of the surgeon of Holloway prison was recommended to be increased by 20f. per annum, that of the clerk and steward by 501. per annum, the schoolmaster 301. per annum, and various warders were recommended an increase of salary ranging from ss. to 2e. per week. The LORD MAYOR ELECT, as chairman of the committee, ! in moving that the report be agreed to, said that although ! the increase of pay recommended might appear to be large, ho could wenn the court that after an attentive considera tion of the scale of allowances to the gaol officers in StMey. Middlesex, and other counties, the coin. mittee had come to the conclusion that the remuneration they recommended to be paid to those officers was only fair and reasonable, and was not at all in excess of what was paid in other counties for similar services. The committee .d given the subject their most serious consideration s and they felt that what they recommended was only a fair re muneration to the persons in their service, and that none of them would be overpaid by the increased allowance. With regard to Net/gate, they should remember that pen= possessed of considerable property and means were frequently confined there, who might be very desirous of infringing the regulations of the gaol, and it was their duty to place those officers above the temptation of receiving • bribe from each persons. Mr. Alderman Merin seoundedthemotion.. Mr: Alderman 617 ALLIS sii4llet;iigntat pleasure in bearing testimony to the great pains that were taken by the committee in investigating the matter, and to the great care and discretion with which the chairman, the Lord Mayor Elect, had investigated the subject. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman Idnott then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, that the 33rd standing order of the court be amended by substituting the word Friday for the word Satunlay. He said the court at its last meeting had adopted a resolution by which certain business hereto fore transacted by the aldermeu on Saturdays would in future be performed on Fridays, and the *eject of his pre , sent motion was to carry out tile principle to a still further extent. The Saturday half•holiday had now become an accepted fact, and he trusted the court would not refuse its sanction to the further extension of the movement. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Alderman WILSON moved as an amendment that the matter should stand over for further consideration at the next court. lie expreenal his opinion that the reso lution that Sad already been carried ought to have been submitted to a fuller court, and that every alderman should have had an opportunity of giving his opinion upon it. He had spoken to thirteen aldermen upon the subject, and only four of that number were favourable to the change that had been already made. If the present resolution were carried, he said, th e effect would be to throw so much business upon the Friday that it could not be got through, and he hod seen an instanoe of the inconvenience that would be created the previous Friday, when the resolution came into operation for the lint time. Alderman Sir H. MOGOZEUDGi.onded the amendment. He said he thought there was already quite enough busi ness to be got through on the Friday, and as to the half holiday movement, as it was called, all he would Foy was that if their duty as magistrate,' called upon them to he in the City on Saturdays, they ought to be there. Alderman CoPMAND supported the motion, and said he did not think there was any ground fur the insinuation that the court had been taken by surprise by the motion that Was carried at the last court, as the notice of that motion had been before it since the 11ith of July. Be hoped the court would agree to the motion, and if it did nut, all he could say was that he for one would not work on Bator. day. (A laugh.) Alderman SALOMOVII said for his pert it was entirely in. different whether the btuduess was Gone on Friday or Bator , day, but as it. was a matter concerning the personal conve nience of every member of the court, he thought that every one of his brother aldermen ought to have an opportunity of giving his opinion upon it. Alderman MECITI eventuallfwithdrew his motion, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. The Commiseioners of Sewers for the City of Loudon held their weekly court ye‘terday, at their °Moss in the Guildhall. Mr. Deputy CHRISM, the chairman of the oominh;aion. presided. K.121/PaltY J3T,\TZ OP 1111 ary, Dr. Lrrneny, the nr.tilicil officer of the City, reported on the state of 209 houses that had been inspected during the week, of which number 59 were mamma lodging houses, and he aubmitteda list of 50 laces for sanitary improvement. He ' also submitted a list of 50 places for further proseedings, on account of orders already bioned and not yet complied with. All the alauhter-Lbuses had been *inked by the inspector daring the week, and he had seized 766 pounds of meat which was unfit for human food. Mr. Newman, the in. 'specter, also reported that at 8 o'clock en Saturday even. iug, alter Tyler's Market bud been closed, the inhabitants complained of a most offensive odour that was evolved from one of the cellars under the market, which became so intolerable that, as it Wee impossible to obtain access to the place on account of its being private property, be obtained the assistance of Mr. Fisher, the market inspector, and covered the gratings over, so as to prevent as far as possible the escape of the disgusting effluvium. This was all that could he done until Monday morning, and upon going into the cellar he found that the smell arose from about half a ton of putrid salt meat, which had been taken out of the stinking hquor in which it had been kept for a long time— more than a year—and which bad been spread out on the floor of the cellar. The smell from it was so bad that he was obliged to cover the meat with chloride of lime before it could be removed. The place was (till in a most unwholesome state, and he found it necessary to give immediate orders that it should be cleansed and lime. whiteued. The report of Dr. Letheby went on to state that 59 births and 44 deaths have been registered in the City during the week. The mortality returns are below the average for the season. In the corresponding week of the last five years the pmportiou of deaths had been 52 ; 23, or rather more than half of the deaths during the week, have been among children of lead than five years of age, and only seven among old persons of 60 and up. wards. The chief causes of death were as follows : Phthiribi, 6 ; pneumonia, 8 (all of infanta); bronchitis, 2 ; in sill 1G deaths from pulmonary affections. Of the zymotic class, there were 11 deaths, usiniely, 4 from measles, 2 from fever (infantile), 2 from erysipelise, and I from each of the following—infantile diarrholi, croup, and pansy. Dr. AIIRAHAY3 celled the attention of the court to that portion of the report relating to the discovery of the putrid meat in one of the cellars in Lesidenhall.rnarket, and he moved that the matter should be referred to the proper quarter, with a view to aseertaie whether some steps could not be taken to punish the patty who had occadoned so great a nuisance. The motion was seconded and carried unanimoualy. The report of Dr. Letheby was also adopted, and the ii,cosary orders given to carry out the recommendations contained in it. A good deal of time was occupied in hearing appeals against the amount of the assessments of several built inge in the City. This basiness is slw.iya conducted withshawl &lots, but the commissioneno t.s.k groat pein4 in the in quiry, and evinced a desire to make any reductions in the ratings of the parties where the circumstances warranted the adoption of such a course. The court then proceeded to the election of au inspector of sewers. There was ouly one candidate, a gentleman memo' Haslip, who has been for several years in the en gineer's office, acid he wax omisequently elected to fill the vacant office, at a salary of 121 W. per annum. The entice.. inspectors called the attention of the court to the obstructions that wore created to the traffic of the public thoroughfares by reason of different buildings and alterations that were going on in some of the pnnapal streets of the City. It appeared that in some instances where this court hail given permission for a boarding to be erected, no works whatever wire going on, but the hoard ings still remained, causing great inconvenience not only to the foot passengers, but also to persons passing in vehicles,
