IHE TRAFFIC IN THE CITY.

Alderman SToNR brought up a report from the
Police Committee, having reference to the bill
that had been introduced into parliament by the
corporation for regulating the traffic of the City of
Loudon. Ile reminded the court that upon the report of
the elect committee to whom the matter hail been re-
ferred, that it would be better that come general measure
'Mould he introduced into parlimneht that would apply to
the whole of the metropolis, the corporation were not
' allowed to proceed with their bill. Sir G. Grey had inti-
mated his intention to introduce such a measure es the one
referred to, and he believed that he would have done so
before this but for the present position of affairs in parlia-
ment. and circumstances with which the court was well ac-
quainted. What was propped at present was that the
committee should be empowered to watch the progress of '
such it measure if it should be introduced by the govern-
ment in the present session, and this was all that could
now be done. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. M'GroitGr said it appeared to him that the City of
London had nothing whatever to do with any measures
that might be proposed for regulating the traffic in the out-
skirts of the metropolis, and he thought that at all events
it was well that it should be known that the corporation
had done all that was in its power to facilitate the tniffio
iof the City. (Hear, hear.)
The report was then agreed to.
DANGEROUS DOGS.

Mr. Antirr wished to know whether the chairman of
the Nike Committee could inform him if the magistrates
of the City had taken any steps to prevent the danger,
that was likely to arise from the number of dogs that were
continually prowling about the City, apparently without
any owners. Such animals might be seen curled up in th•
recesses of London-bridge and various other places, and
when it was recollected that the slightest bite from one of
those wretched cure might be tho means of producing a
death of the most horrible description, he considered it of
very great importance to the public to know whether any
steps were being taken by the magistrates or the police of
the City to prevent such animals being about the streets.
.Alderman STONE said that the subject was under consi-
deration, and he hoped that something would shortly be
done in the matter. (Hear, hear.)
The court shortly afterwards adjourned.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. A feeling of
gloom has prevailed among many of the inhabitants of this
town during the past few days in consequence of its be-
comicg known that Mr. James Lanarkll, of Wellington-
square, Hastings, had been missing since the evening of
Thursday last. It appears that on the evening in question
Mr. Lansdell took a walk to St.,Loonards with his wife and
another member of his family, and leaving them near the
Subscription-gardens said he should extend his walk a little
farther westward. They expected to meet him on leaving the
gardens, but did not do so, and although strict inquiry has
been made it appears that he Lae not yet been heard of. The
general impression is that he has met with an untimely end.
A circular has been issued giving a description of him as
follows :—" Forty-four years of age, Mt 2 or 3 in. high,
stout, dark hair (turning grey), cut rather short, a little
bald on the top of the head, small dark whiskers worn on the
chin (also turning grey), a small wart on the left temple.
Dressed in a black cloth morning coat, black vest and
trousers, black merino scarf with small mourning pin,
black cloth overcoat, red flannel shirt, and black hat with
mourning band. Had a large sum of money in his posse*.
sion and a large silver watch, also several account books.
Linen marked J. Lansdell 'in ink." The deepest sym-
pathy is universally felt for the family under the present
distressing circumstances.—Hastings and St. Leonard's
Chronicle.
