Yeetetday the

assembled at Guild-

Deputy PCACOCIC in the chair.
Ne. II c sit lona said he had read a letter in the Tint.'
of [he pftlllollll day eomplainin; of the dangerous condi- I
boa of part of Lower Thames t, and representing that
ateuterts had occurred in that vicioity, to which the ward '
sathoritie di not seem disposed to pay any attention. ll*
ba;geil to be informed whether any inquiry had been made
into the veracity of the statement.
Dipaty Bowen asid he had., upon reading the letter al-
luded to. visited Thames-street, which appeared to him to
be as well paved in every part of it as any other streets in
which area! • Ac was going on. The inhabitants did not
seem to know anytl:Mg about the merits of the complaints.
M last he found ti.it the letter referred to Salutation-
cow., where the pavement was upon a slope, and where the
peer- who carried loads backwards and forwards did
their Meiness in so rough and cared is a manner as to en-
danger the imdis of the public. It was to be regretted
that U IL, whoever he was, had not taken thet trouble of
simply applying to tne Deputy, instead of writing to the
editor of the TIMM If he had that ea, tho case should'
have been immediately inquired into and remedied, if there
*meted any alai, for remedy. Aceid-nts might occur M
the Queen's drawing-room as well as in Themes-street ; but
certai-ly, the porters who worked about the locality con-
sidered t:,emselvis, when their shoulders were loaded, as
the of the creation, and nevi- thought of such a thing
aceouemodation. (Hear, heir )

A Cuivtivvtomitit said that the guardians of sow) of the
City onions were very anxious to learn when they might
expect any intelligence upon the subject of the contemplated
cemetery ?
The CliAlllYAN said the committee were doing all in
their power to submit a sati,faet •y report as to the ground
to be choeen for the cemetery, es the hon. gentleman who
was so impatient for the information malt have known if
he had paid ordinary attention to his ditties. (A laugh.)
The Jdsdtcal Otti.:er of Health reported a vast somber of
low, filthy terientents in the narrow thnoaghfares, and
represinted the necessity or taking immediate steps to en-
force the registering, of houses in Fireball- coon and other
bean ies as totrmon lodging-houses.
Upon the motion of Deputy Mina:soy, active measure.
were adopted to carry into immediate effect a wreat variety
of sanitary suggestions made by the medical officer.
