The Lola MAYOR said he had received a street number of
petitions, signed by the bankers, merchants, governor. of
hospitals, and other institutions, medical authorities of the
very highest character,:warehothemen residing ea the banks
of the river, and in fact persons of the highest inflames in
the population of London, upon the state of the river, and he
thought they were of each importance that he at ono. deter-
mined to submit them to the court, to be dealt with aseord-
ing to the judgment ;of that body. It appeared from those
documents that farther delay as to the epplicatioa of a
remedy for the evil would be dangerous, and it was quite
impossible ter him to act in such a ease without the co-
operation of the umbel.. He had entertained an idea
of calling a meeting on Thursday next, to take into soul-
deration the subject, with a view to a public dismounts-
doe, bat he was resolved to snake no movement without the
consent and advice of the Court of Common Council. (Hear.)
Deputy Pzettoci said—The public perfectly well under-
stood that the ministry improvement could not take plain
without an eapenditure of four or five millions, and it wes
well known that Lord Palmerton had expressed his opinion
that it would entaioly be most advisable to carry the ex-
tensive changes suggested into effect, but asked, at the
same time, where the money was to be foetid to accomplish

LITROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGIDEBNT ACT

------.
Mr. A. J. Wood, the manor, held an aisgonntiadas.
meeting, on Wedeesday, at the P
to apportion the surabn of
Er;rerds into which the parish of i=aillhallthe
bees
divided. _ _ _

—;iiitTparish his hitherto been governed by a 'sleet vestry.
and groat interest has thereto» been felt by the inhabitants
with regard to the application of the provhions of the new
law, which it is certain most materially affect the existing
parochisi arrangement'.
There was a fall attendance of persons officially connected
with the parish, besides others who took an interest in
parochial matters.
Mr. Avelleg laid before the aseemor the following table :

Wards. Parma Hated. Rateable Value. &Stip.
1 1,271 .... 62,872 .... 170
2 .... 1,431 .... 78,862 .... 815
3 1,934 108,248 .... 290
4 ... 2,106 .... 203,418 .... 180

6,201 443,390 1,236
The figures in the first two columns were taken from the
ratebook, but by the returns made by the collectors the
numbre of rsted householders was antes 6,000.
The Assessor—lt is a question with me whether I can
realm such returns. The point is thb :—When the land-
lord is rated and the tenant is sot, the landlord's uesse
put down in the occupiers' column, as well as intbammesn'
solemn ; and I doubt whether I have say authority le labs
any evidence from the parish officers as to whether the pew
sea so entered in the meupien' column is ft is set ea
'meal householder—that is to say, whether he Y ee Y aell
a resident householder. I am at present very usuchlastleed
to the opinion (though I will not now detention that poist)
that I must consider all persons entered se unpins u
being householders. If lam precluded from receiving
parole evidence as to the fact of who are the utast resident
householden,the result may be that thepsehhelPadtliagtos
may be entitled to have 84 iestermes Wilma of 72, which
latter would be the proper number if I were to adopt the
returns of the collectors. What I therefore wish is, before
finally apportioning the timber of vestrymen to each ward,
that the collectors should make to me a return not only of
the number of moons actually nted, but also of the number
of occupiers. I shall then be able to determine what number
of vestrymen ought to be assigned to the parish, and it will
afterwards he very easy for me to apportion them to the
differed wards, without troubling the parochial authoridm
to meet again.
The apportioning of the number of vestrymen to each
ward was then postponed until the additional returns wore
made, by which it would be shown whether the parish
should have 72 or 84 vestrymen.

Mr. A. Pulling met the parish authorities on Wednesday
morning at the vestry clerk's office, in the workhouse, for
the purpose of setting out the wards.
A large number of the inhabitants, including Mr. Vane,
the vestry clerk; Mr. Edwards, clerk to the trustees;
Messrs. Meng, Avery, Reece, Rows, Wild, and all the
parish officers, were present.
An adjournment consequently took place to the chapel of
the workhouse, where
The Commissioner having opened the prosowdiap,
The Vestry Clerk stated that much pains had been
taken since the receipt of the Commissioner's letter to ascer-
tain the statistics of the parish, and the remit was as fol-
lows : Population, 120,000 ; acreage, 620 ; rated house-
holders, ezelusive of public companies, 9,672; amount of
amessmeats, 17,000 ; compounders, about 7,000 ; and the
total amount of rateable value, 242,1381.
The maps and plans of the arish having been produeed,
three conflicting schemes of dividing the parish into eight
wards, and one into seven, were proposed ; the first by Mr.
Pickford, the second by Mr. Edwards, and the third by Mr.
Bewley. The different schemes had been prepared without
consalfttion, and were framed totally irrespective of each
ether. _ _ _

A long disetumfon monad, and eventually it was decided
that the better plan would be to obtain the statistics of each
scheme, and, there being a difficulty in obtaining them at a
general meeting, it was agreed that Messrs. Bewley, Ed-
wards, Avery, and Dieslnnen should meet Mr. Pulling at
his chambers next Monday, and there go into the books
and furnish snob details as would enable the commissioner
to divide the wards.

Mr. W. D. Cooper, one of the eommiesionere ander the
Metropolis Local Management Act, completed the tinal
division of this parish Into wards, and the assignment of the
vestrymen to each, on Wednesday, at a meeting at the
Vestry Hall.
The wards now stand as follows :

of the district of St. Giles's, Camberwell, and the whole of
the hamlet of Dulwich.
N 0.6. Peckham South Ward.—The remainder of Peck-
ham will be comprised in this ward.
The Commissioner then, by making a calculation of the
number of householders and parsons rated he the poor, and
the amount of the &easement, arrived at the exam number
of vestrymen to be apportioned among the wards, and
declared the first three wards to be entitled to 12 vestrymen
each, the neat two to 16 each, and the last to 18, making a
total of 84 vestrymen for the whole parish.
In the Ist Ward there are 938 householders, and 1,117

36,9371. ; and in the
6th Ward, 1,033 householders, and 1,066 persons rated at
67,2801.
This being the whole of the business, a vote of thanks
war unanimously accorded to the Commissioner for the
courtesy shown by him to the parish authorities, and for
the great ability he bad evinced in making the necessary
calculations, and dividing the pariah so equally.
The Commissioner acknowledged the vote.

The following harvest report, applicable to leveed
counties in the north of Ireland, appears in the Derry
Journal:

The harvest in the north-west of Ireland is now pretty
well cleared in, and a few more days of fair weather wm
bring it all into the stack yard. No injury to the pia
crops has resulted from the weather, on the contrary, they
have been all secured in excellent condition; as repasts
mdse., there is no difference of opinion now that oats, the
staple guilt crop in the northern coantiu, is below m
average. The bulk in the stack-yarda is very defieat.
Wheat, which comes next to oats in breadth, is spoked
variously, according to the time of sowing. When
it had been planted in October and early in November,
and got firmly rooted before the winter (ruts set is,
it never produced better, and a considerable quantity d
the March sown wheat is also good; all the remind*,
probably about half of the entire crop, is below an mums.
The potatoes, notwithstanding the apprehensions mum-
ally equaled about them, will, we still think, be tee
largest crop since 1845. That the Meese' has made SOO
progress on the stalks of the late varieties, and nue a
portion of the tubers also of the early kinds, we admit,
but we must also recollect how well forward the proud
crop was before it received any check, and the ye
quantities et well grown potatoes now in the fields; 12
the disease is not going forward with either the rapidity co
the virulence which formerly marked its progress. Turnips
and other green crops are very promising; they wore
largely sown this year, and from present appearances tattle
feeding will be plentiful.
