THE LONDON MARKET.

We understand that a respectable body of landed pro-
prietors, a. a means of twisting their truants, have agreed
by solrarription to support an establishment of light caravan.,
principally to supply the London markets with fresh huller,
&r. from the dairy farms seamed wear the roads trifling
from Exeter and Taunton to London. The plan is arranged
to cutlery such goods into msrkrt as quickly as those from
Buckingham end Canthridgethire; which, from their fresh-
ness, command a superior price to those sent salted (ruin
Devon, Dorset, and Somerset, where the value is greatly
reduced by the competition with Dutch and other salt
butter. The establishment, it is evident, must materially
!wadi! the dairy farms, sow sadly dist d, and become
croerally useful to trade by a quicker and cheap transfer
of goods.

COURTS OF COO SRieV,iNCY
FOR THE COUNTIES or SURREY ♦.\D MIDDLESEX

On Friday these Courts ... re Geld at the Towu Hall, for
Surrey, and at the Swan tun, Westminster-bridge, for Mid-
dies's.
At the last Courts ham, were sworn to examine into

Reports, hot, is conseqinutee of the illness of the Lord
Mayor, no return Court ties held at which they could make
their presentment., and the whole proceedings fell to the
ground. In the Reports, they presented the discbsrge of the
eas resider. front o.e a. were' gs.somelers as nominees, and
CUIlS'Uled the whole of the stsii men,. which had been alresily
laid before the public, as vie effects produced upon the
water of the river by the poisonous matter diecharged into
ii from the gig-works.
After tip. Juries at both Courts of Cons,rvaney had been
sworn in 1111 Friday, the Lord Mayor informed them, that
s;nrra the drawing up of their Reports, proceedings had
taken place upon indictment against some of the establish.
merits, 811,1 that the nuisance bud been promised to be
abated, They would, therefor.., particularly as to
that fact, and endeavour to direst thr merle,. of every im-
pression consieehrd with the fointer Reports, He doubted
sot hat that, from ihe particular anxiety felt upon the sub-
ject by the public at large, they timid pay adequate eaten•
tion to it.

Tint NM instant was appointed for the Joey to make their
Report.
We ire informed, from good authority, that although the
gas-water is not now discharged directly from the gas-works
into Ike River, yet that the river is as much impregnated as
ever with the ;minimises matter, which comes into it at all
parts out of common sewers, fium undiscovered smarm.
No later than last week • young man sunk whilst swim.
using near Westminster, and was under water ■bout fire
minuses. Time was animation in the body when it was
taken ont by a fisherman. It was immediately conveyed on
shore, and surgical aid procured, when the surgeon was stee-
p' aed on finding the body discoloured by an oleaginous sub-
stance. extremely adhesive, which was declared to be some of
the refuse from the gasometer. Every effort was tried to re.
store life, but without effect. A great quantity ape-water
was discharged from the stomach; sad we Sr. informed that
an opisiou was giver', that had the subject sunk in purer
water, there was every probability thAt he might have been
restored to life.

After the businras of the Courts tag over, the Lord Mayor
