A. J. BAYLIS, Esq., the solicitor to the commission, re-
ported that he had made inquiries into the circumstances
under which a quantity of diseased meat was recently con-
demned as unfit for human food,which was sent to London.
The meat in question was part of a cow which bad been
suffering from a cancer in the leg, and had been sold to a
person in the country who killed it, and scut it to a sales-
man in Nowgato-market.
The solicitor was instructed to take proceedings to bring
the guilty parties to justice.
Mr. BAYLIS reported to the court another instance of a
seizure by one of the inspectors of the commission of a num
ber of carcasses of sheep, of which 11 were more or kris
diseased. The meat was condemned by Alderman Mechi,
who directed the case to be reported to the Commissioners
of Sewers, with a view to further proceedings being taken.

The Court instructed the solicitor to make further in
guides into the case, and if advisable to take the necessary
legal proceedings against the sender of the meat to London.
Dr. LETHEEY, the medical officer of health, presented his
weekly report on the sanatory condition of the City. Three
hundred and forty-two houses had been visited by the in-
spectors, and he submitted a list of 171 places for sanatory
improvement. The markets and slaughter-houses had been
duly inspected during the week, and the officers had con-
demned 4,6451b5. of meat unfit for human food. It consisted
of 10 sheep, one calf, 33 quarters of beef, and 44 joints of
meat. 2,5201b5. were diseased, 8001bs. were putrid, and 725
lbs. were from animals that had died from accident or dis-
ease. The mortality returns for the week are a little below
the average for the season. Last week the number of
deaths was 54, the average for tho corresponding week of
the last eight years being 60. Twenty-one of the deaths
were among children of less Chats five years of age, and 10
among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of
death were as follows :—Phthisis 10, mesenteric disease 2,
hydrocephalus 2, pneumonia 6, bronchitis 6, continued fever,
small-pox 3, whooping cough 3, measles 2, and diarrhoea 1,
making together 14 deaths from tubercular diseases, 11 from
inflammatory affections of the lungs, and 11 from diseases
of a zymotic character. Sixty-five births were registered,
namely, 26 boys and 39 girls.
Dr. LETIIEBY further reported that the illuminating
power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had
on the average been above the requirements of the act of
Parliament; but upon one occasion the power of the City
Company's gas, and once the Great Central was under the
standard. The properties of sulphur had, except in the case
of the Chartered Company, been in excess of that sanctioned
by Parliament,
Some other business was disposed of, and the commis-
sioners adjourned.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS DAY.
Graced by the presence of Royalty, with weather which
in itself was a keen enjoyment, and an attendance of
the general public. in addition to the habitues of the place,
as large probably as Newmarket has ever known, the great
Spring event, only yielding in importance to the Derby,
has come off this year with unusual eclat,
" The Guineas," always the occasion of Newmarket's
gayest and most crowded gathering—the first foreshadow-
ing of a solution to the Derby mystery—boasted on this
occasion the largest entry on record, and with the propor-
tionate value of the stakes, of course, rained a still greater
interest in turf circles. In common with the other Spring
events, as we have before had occasion to remark, it has
been affected by the general languid tone of the market,
but within the last two or three weeks speculation has been
much brisker. The advent of General Peel and Copen-
hagen into the betting has led to some heavy wagering, and,
combined with the temporary retirement of Paris, and an
occasional hostile demonstration against the French mare
—whose position, however, has never been materially
shaken—a much-wanted impetus has been given to the
state of affairs.
The Two Thousand is generally noticeable for some of
those mysterious movements in the betting suggestive of
" corpses," " dead ones," and other names of evil augury.
Paris has this year been the animal operated upon. Sup.
posed to have been knocked out during the Craven meet•
ing, symptoms of a revival have been current the last day
or two, until the horse which just before dinner last even-
ing was at I'2 to 1 found no one bold enough to offer more
than 6 at 10 30 p.m.
The London special was loaded, and the various excursion
trains brought crowds such as Newmarket has rarely seen.
The journey to the heath, to the pedestrian at least, was a
work of peril, for the horsemen, and they were legion, were
most Cossack-like in the irregularity of their charges ,
while an occasional smashed panel and the confusion con-
sequent thereon gave an Epsom character to the throng.
The Prince of Wales arrived at the commencement of
the day's sport, and was allowed, we are happy to say, to
enjoy it unmolested by the too obtrusive loyalty of his future
subjects. But comparatively little attention was paid to the
events which preceded the race for the Two Thousand, and
at the time drew near the excitement was immense. Fille
de l'Air maintained her position as first favourite. General
Peel vas backed with great spirit and confidence at 7 to 2.
They got away pretty punctually at a good start ; as they
approached the bushes it was evident the race was over,
General Peel, pulling double, came up the hill, followed by
Paris, Hollyfox, and Historian, and, though Fordham made
strenuous efforts to reach him, Lord Glasgow's colours were
borne past the chair amid tremendous cheering by a clear
length.

the old Duke's stand, where Lord in Waiting went in ad-
vance and won cleverly by half a length, a length and half

Breeze led for the first 200 yards, when she was pulled
back, and Concordia, with Stockowner, in close attendance,
came on with the running into the cords, where the Baron's
filly again appeared in front and won, with great ease, by a
length and a half, two lengths dividing the second and
third, A bad fourth.

came out, and won very cleverly by a length, twice that
distance separating the secord and third. The others passed
the post as placed by the judge at wide intervals, the
favourite, who was left at the post, being a long way in the
rear. An objection was raised by Lord Westmoreland to
the winner on the ground of her number not being placed
on the telegraph.

fox.
After taking their preliminary cantors, they joined the
starter, who despatched them from the post at the first
attempt to an admirable start. Acolyte, on the lower side,
after running a few strides, appeared with a slight lead,
closely followed by Master Richard and his stable companion
Copenhagen, and on their right by General Peel, Hollyfox,
and Historian, Paris lying by himself, wide of the lot, on
the upper ground, Fine de l'Air and Sir Roger heading the
next division, about a couple of leugthe in the rear.
In
these positions they reached the firat half of the Abingdon
Xile-post, where General Peel, pulling double, took a pro-
