The Conimiesioners of Sewers held their weekly
meeting yesterday at Guildhall Mr. Deputy De Jersey
presiding. lie. Letheby, the medical officer, reported on the
state of _'U3 houses that had been inspected during the
week, awl he submitted a list of 36 places for sanitary im-
provement. The markets and slaughterhouses had been
duly rigs...tad, and the °dicers bad seized 4,497 Th.. of meat
as unfit for homes food. 3,8671h5. were diseased, and the
rest was from animals that bad died from accident or disease.
The medical officer laid before the court a letter
that be had realised from the inspector of meat
for the borough of Leeds, informing him that large quan-
tities of dise.uwel mat were regularly sent from that
borough end neighbourhood to the London markets, end
stating that on the day the letter was written the carcase
of a diseased cow was being forwarded to London by a
person likes name was mentioned. Dr. Letneby said,
however, he had failed to trace the moat in the City
markets, although it might possibly be among that which
bad bees seized by the offimrs. and of which the salesmen
either could not or would not give the informatioe. He
referred to three cases especially, either of which might per-
tale to the subject, viz., find, when four quarters of
beef wore condemned at Mews. Bane's on the 15th
instant—the any on which the letter was dated.
Ia auother rise four quarters of beef were con-
demned at Mr. Israel's oa the 15th, and on the
/Me d..y 4 quarters of beef were condemned at another
butcher's, all to negate-market, and in each core the
mlearueu either could or would not inform who were the
senders, or said their name, wore not known to them. He
mentioned the matter in order that it might receive the
consideration of the court, and be referred to •cominittee for
further Myeetigation. The medical officer also reported
that dm Mg the week there were two hedonism at Neergate-
-1111144t where salesmen had either sold or expired for sale
diseased meat. One was the case of a Mr. Matthews, who
exposed six pieces of diseased veal on the night of Saturday,
the !fth inst. ; in the other case, Mr. Israel's .•m sold on
the 13th inst. lint, gusitera tsf lowed beet,_lmt wcre
br.ough; end given to the iospector Blay Mr. Israel
',Men rz...ottatrated with. There was also a case in which
two gust ten of diseased beef were sent to Newgate.merket
en the 13th inst. by a person named Newman, at Nether
Compton, Dorsetsbire. In every use the meat was taken
before the aldernne and ordered to be destroyed. lir.
Letheby recommended, therefore, that the two caiee re-
ferred to in Newgete-market should be referred to a com-
mittee as in other rich came, and that the case of Newman
Amulet be submitted to the solicitor with • view to farther
promeduige, which was sired to.

Corp*: Gonna.—MANcnErtr.R, JAN. 19. —Un-
favourable oommermal sod political advice' havealmoat para-
lysed the yarn and cloth market. In shipping Tarns the
amount of beisinees done today has been very small. Odors
bees bee, made for rather large quantities for Chios and the
Mediterranean, but at pricie too low to lead to busioefis.
Home trade yarns are apparently flatter than those suit-
able to shippers. and prices have declined more io propor.
ton. Letters say there hes been seemly hinder= enough
to test prices. and that the irregularity prevailing among
spinners rendere it 'ahnost impossible to mate with
accuracy (or in fact ao as not to mislead) what
the exteot of decline has been. One of our
loading mercantile booms states that the decline
in cep yams is equal to id. per lb. on all
descriptioes. ani compared with the rate' of last Friday. in
the cloth market buyer' have Leen keeping quite aloof
from busiame, and have not even bees making offers. Under
them carcumeteetes, it is difficult to arrive at a correct quo-
tation of price., but there is no doubt that if sales bad tube
pressed they would have to he made at a oposidereble
reduction on loot week. The chief cause of depression is
the date of affair,. between Denmark and Germany, added
to which the fears entertained as to an alteration of dis-
'oust, exert no inemesiderable influence. The impression
before alluded to in our trade report. es to the future prices
of cotton also matinees affect business in this market.
It would be seen by Mr. Fareall'a and Mr. Maclure's reports
to the Central Executive Relief Committee yester-
day that the applicants for relief is the week emits(
the 9th inst. had increased by upwards of 10,000
perems, awing to the elating of mills, and there is
raison to fear that the number will go on increasing for
some time to come. Well-informed peoide my that the
number thrown oat of work for some weeks to come will
exceed anything that has yet taken place. At Stockport

and mossy other places, spindles and looms are likely to be
stopped altogether, while a great addition is likely to be
made to those on short time. On all hands we hear that
trade does not pay, mid that spinners and manufacturers

their present risks.
