In the absence of any prominent political 1
agitation, and with the prospect of having some
nsefut. iegislative work, the reform of the
focal inlministratiou of, the, metropolis eeenat likely
at length to receive that attention which the
great- impertance of tile subject demands. The
anomalies of She present *yet:win-have been pointed out •
times without number ; they have been admitted by
one Government after another; but no Cabinet has
ever yet found. time to deal with a scheme so colossal in
its character. The people ot London are now, however,
eamestly askieg that n stop shall be put to the indis-
eriniiiinte.eonycyative of large quantities of explosive
substances through their cniwiled streets ; both the
Metropolitan Board of Works and the City Corpora-
tion are preparing to dtrhattle With the gas companies;
and Lord Etch., has promised to take charge of a bill
for eouferring ffiunicipal institutions upon the whole of
the caint.„3l. , The local government of London is, in
fa-et, In'es divhled and chaotic a state as anything of
the kind na-Ctrii.4;fy Ve:.'4,44: or three bodies rule
over different parts ..f snot. thoroughfares such as Ox-
ford-street and the Strand. One vestry, such as,
for instatme, ..that.,, of St. ~diaarrae, governs a
parish as large and as populous as that of
Bradford lw Leeds ; anotheris compelled to be content
with a slkewf iriteiteit arose Aetna a stone might be
thing. Outside the City radius aldermen and councillors
are ent,irely vutknown. j..Tha interest which just now
attaches to the forthembiug municipal elections in
every earpornte•town in England "Inds no existence
wilateYer in niarylebone and Westminster; Finsbury
iMel the Tower llanalets, Jfackuey and Greenwich,
Seuthwark and Lambeth. All that the ratepayers
know is that there is a vestry which meets somewhere,
and having made a rate, it is sanctioned by the
stipendiary police manistrate, and must be paid. It
is likely enough that the householder feels disposed to
grumble at thweight of so many of these demand notes,
but, as a rule, he leads a- buttY.life, an.l really cannot
'flesh time to imptire into parochial affairs. Instead ..f
electing ono vestry for such a vast borough as Maryle-
bone. it would he infinitely better to divide it into
stistriets after the manner of the city wards, for it is
only in this way that anything like representative
government can he secure".

Attention to the i.onifort of railway trasellos 6eeme
be he the order of the day. It iii only about six
weeks a,40 that the Director.; of the Metropolitan
Company soluutarily surrendered a right secured to
them by Aet of Parliament, and attached carriages fur
,-tic &cot to all their trains. They now come forward
with another improvement, and are the first amongst
ilwy rorporations to announce that henceforth

tompartmenti for ladies and for gentlemen sc.
companied by ladies, will be reserved in all trains upon
this system. Cui.i.lering the enormous traffic upon
this line, and the fact that only thirty seconds are
allowed for stopping at each station, soles difficulty
may at first be experienced in guiding the traveller to
the particular kind of carriage required; but we may
&rend upon it that the directors have not taken such
a step without making due provision for its being
cfficienbly carried out. They have an excellently-
trainedll.staff of officials sharp, shrewd, generally

A Mrs. Cannon, widow of an Eton waterman,
committed suicide on Saturday by drowning herself in the
Thames arWindsor. Since the death of her husband, shout
six months ago, she had been supporting a family of seven
children by her own earnings, but • few weeks ago she
poisoned her linger, which necessitated her applying for
parochial assistance It is supposed that this preyed upon
her mind, and led her to commit suicide.

An old man named Withers, for 32 years a porter in
the employ of the Great Eastern Railway, met with a shock-
ing death on Monday last. It appears that when a train was
leaving the Eppingutation he was seen to pass through some
hedges at the side of the line. He appeared to be in the act
of passing across the rails when he was observed by the
stoker of the engine to fall in the "four-foot way " of tr.,
line on which the train was travelling, and, althongh the
train had just been set in motion, it could not be stopped
until the engine and carriages passed over him. Nome of
the officials at Epping-station at once went to the spot and
found the unfortunate man's body literally cut to pieces.

TliE EN ILISH IN PARIS.- Paris is just now
crowded with strangers. You hear nothing but Eng-
lish all around you (remarks a correspondent who is
sojourning in the "gay city.') In every shop window
you see the two inevitable mottoes, "Prix fixe " Mel
" English spoken." It is said that in one little back
street near the Palais Royal an enthusiastic milliner,
in en anxiety to attract a cross-Atlantic clientele, has
go& on far as to pnt up a notice of "American spoken
here." The Parisians, who are quick enough to re-
cognise anything connected with dress, distinguish
readily between our own cenntrywomen and their
cousias. They greatly prefer the Americans' who
have at once more money and more faith. These
came to Paris to be dressed, and submit them-
selves to the process with the best grace in the
world. They know that the modiste is by far the best
judge, and they take her opinion and act upon it. The
English lady-so the French shopkeeper tells you,
with great courtesy-cannot lead and will not follow ;
and thus her dress, however expensive it may be, is a
series of efforts and not a coeplete and harmonious
whole. While one-half the stranger population in
Paris is running after bonnets and dresses, the other
half -wanders about the streets, the galleries, an:l the
theatres, and takes note of changes in a city where
improvement is perpetual, and industry, guided by art,
is always active.
