A GRAND GAME OF CIIESS.—It is said that the
English and French chess clubs, have made a novel match
to be played shortly at the Hippodrome. A gigantic chess
board will be marked out upon the turf. The castles will
be carried on the backs of real elephants, and every other
piece will be represented by an equestrian performer
dressed in character. The kings and queens will be in
gorgeous robes, the knights in full armour, sad the bishops
will represent the " true church militaat."
PICKING TILE POCKET OF A DETECTIVE.-1n-
Spector Bates, of the detective force, brought up Patrick
Colman, whom he charged with picking his pocket on
Sunday evening, in the Loudon-road, Liverpool. Com-
plainant, who found the fellow's hand in his pocket, had
been watching him for twenty minutes previously. He had
been once before committed for two months, and was now
committed for three. [This is almost as bad as the case that
occurred in Glasgow last week, when Baillie Drummond
had his great coat stolen out of the justice room is the
police office, whilst presiding on the bench, in the face of
a half doyen at least of the force, detectives actl ali.)--

Mr. 11. L TAVLott said the re was net meek to complain
N. Ho hardly thought the Metropolitan Commiiiion
would art without consulting the court. Fur many years
the City of London hied stood promiuei.tly forward, and
were unsurpassed in the improvements they had effected
with regard to sewerage. (Meer, hear.)
Mr.T. H. Mtt thought the court ought to ascertain
what was desirable to be done with respect to the northern
dirislon; but that with the southern division they ought
not to ihterfere. (Hear, heir.) nu b..zged to move,
"That the members of ti,i‘ canziision Who ore associated
with the Metropolitan Commissioners tor the purpo e of the
united drainage, be requested to comnouniento with them
with reference to the project of carrying out a system of
drainage for the relief of the north side of the metropolis."
The motion was seconded by Mr. HanliSH, and carried
usan".moutly.
OPENING OF THE FLEET DITCH.
The report of the surveyor, in reference to the complaint
of the inhabitants of the Crescent in New Bridge-street, in
ecotone nee of the opening made in it by the Fleet Ditch,
to enable certain repairs to be performed, wee then read.
Mr. li• ywood, after enlarging upon the importance of this
sewer, stis :--°. I beet directed the hole complained of to
be closely hoarded in, and deodorising powders to be used ;
and beyond this nothing tan be done, except fleeing it
altogether."
The 3letnexbOrrtexte said there could be no question
that the opening of the sewers was a source of offensive
nee unwholesome effluvia, though perhaps the degree
might be somewhat over estimated by the neighb Mrs ;
and if the works were unnecessary, there could be
no
doubt about the fitness of immediately closing them.
(Hear, hear.) Whatever the present evil might be, a per-
manently unsound condition of the Fleet sewer would be
a much greater evil, allowing soakage] and undermining
homes. (Hear, hear.)
Tae report was then received, and the court adjourned.
