HALL (ehair '' the Im-
provement Committee) brought up the following report, to
which, on account of its great public importance, ha re-
quested the particular attention of the court
" To tue Right lion. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and
Commonere, in Common Council asstinhled,—We, whose
names are hereunto sulceribed, your committee in relation
to improvements within this city, do certify that your hen.
court having been pleased to refer to Fair committee the
consideration of the propriety of erecting baths and wade.
houses and of lodging-houses for the pourer classes of
society in connexion with the improvements undertaker*
by the corporation, we have from time to time pro-
eeeded in the consideration of such reference, and did on
the lath February last rt port ;to your hon. court that a
favourable opportunity existed of enabling the corporation,
if they could obtain parliameutary power., out of their
own tunds, arising from certain invested surpluses
of their Finsbury estates, to purchase ground and
erect suitable dwellings for the labouring pour in or
near the line of the proposed new street from the City's
boundary in West-street to Coppice-row, Clerkenwell ; and
that we had directed Mr. Itensembrancer to insert proper
cl.t uses in the hill authorising that improvement. That, in pur-
suance of sueli instructions, such clause; have been inserted
in the hill which became an act in the last s“sion of parlia-
ment, enabling the corporation to erect, either on the land
compulsorily taken for the purposes of the improvement, or
in the vicinity thereof, by agreement, such and so many
improved dwellings said lodging houses fin the poor, and to
fit up the same with such conveniences and in such manner
as they shall from time to time think expedient. That we
have directed the architect to consider and report, to us his
opinion, as to the most desirable situation for commencing
the erection of such dwellings: and have had before us
Mr. Scutt, the principal clerk to Mr. Chamberlain, who
reported to us the amount of the fund accumulated
under the act of your hon. court of the 29th May, 104.5,
which we find to amount to the sum of 423691. as., Three'
per Cent. Reduced Annuities ; and we are of opinion, and
recommend that the same fund be applied by your committee
in clearing such ground in or near the said new street as
to your committee shall seem expedient, and iu erecting the
necessary buntlines thereon, and that the buildings when so
erected and complete be subject to the control and manage-
ment, as regards letting and collecting the rents, of your
committee for letting the City lands, who will accun.ulate
as heretofore the profits of the said accumulating funds ; and
from time to time, when so directed by your hon. court,
place at the disposal of your improvement committee the
proceeds of such accumulating fund, in order to the pur-
chase of further land and buildings in the manner which
in the said act of Common Council is more fully set forth.—

After the repOrt, which was rteciscd with cheers, had
been introduced,

Mr. I'. li. HALL said that the proposition the committee
had then the huuour of making to the cuurt was the fittest they
could adopt under the circumstances, and the first joked
of the kind they had had the opportunity of making. The
parties living in the neighbourhood of the newly proposed
line of street leading from Farringdon-street to Cop-
pice-row, Clerkenwell, occupied dwellings of the most in-
ferior kind, and by their removal much good would be
effected ; so that it would be seen that instead of the corpo-
ration making a waste of the neighbourhood, they should
accommodate with far better dwellings the inhabitants
of the locality. (Hear, hear.) The question then was,
would the court tatrUAt to the committee the die-
posal of 42,16.11. 3s. (Cries of " Yes.") Many remarks
as to the existence of knackers' yards in that vicinity had
been made by the public press, but he was glad to say that,
by the erection of these building+ upon such a site, the
" boiling-houses " would be pat down, and the interests of
the pour reveling out of the boundary• of the City of London
would be considered. (Hear.) What they hail to do was,'
to see that they so built and let their houses as to keep
enough to maintain them in repair ; and he was confident
that, by adopting the report, and thus confiding in the
committee, they would be doing an immense amount
of good in aiding the humane and proper considerations of
the promoters of sanatory reform, while they would fur-
nish to many parties who might be driven from the locali-
ties they used to reside in much more comfortable abodes in
the immediate vicinity of their precious residences. (Hear.)
Deputy BEDFORD seconded the motion. Ile considered
that buildings of this character had long been required in
the City of London. (•• Hear," and " No.")
Several speakers having supported the motion, the report
was then unanimously agreed to.

RAILWAYS.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.
The share market is, on the whole, better than it
was yesterday, prices being more firmly supported,
and is several instances exhibiting an improvement.
Great Westerns in the early part of the day rallied to
fill, but this was not maintained. Lancashire and
Yorkshires, North Staffords, and South Easterns,
are marked at an improvement on the closing rates
of yesterday's market.
