ELECTION INTELLIGENT /417
, - --
CITY OF Oxronu.—lt is a singular fact that tko
pressnt moment no candidate, either on the Liber. althe 11. S
Conservative interest, has put in an appearance fe r the
vacancy occasioned by the lamented death of Mr. Lang stun.
Mr. C. Neate, fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, an uf tra-
Liberal, who was elected in 1857, but was unseated for
bribery and corruption, has been invited to offer himself,
and he has consented to do so on one condition, namely,
that he shall receive a requisition signed by a sufficient
number of electors to satisfy him that his return is a matter
of certainty. As such a condition cannot well be fulfilled,
the general impression is that Mr. Neate, with his former
experience of the same friends who took him in hand, will
not enter the field, more especially as an opposition is
threatened, which would involve him in an expensive con-
test, the result of which it is impossible to foresee. The
Gazette of last evening states that the speaker will issue his
writ in six days for the election of a member, vacant by the
death of Mr. Langston.
TEWKEssUILY.—The election for Tewkesbury in the
room of the lion. F. Lygon, who was elected on Monday
last fur West Worcesterehire, will not take place until the
meeting. of Parliament in February next. The hon, gentle-
man having, previous to his election fur West Worcester-
shire,accepted the stewardship of the manor of iietepholute,
renders
but the speaker has no power to
drs the seat vacant;
issue his writ betoro the meeting of Parliament. There is
no likelihood of any second candidate appearing, and Mr.
Yorke remains in quiet possession of the field.
WINDSOR.—A meeting of the friends and supporters of
Colonel Richard Howard Vyse, the Conservutive candidate,
has been announced to take place this evening. at the
White Hart Hotel, Windsor, which it is anticipated will
both candidates with much sue-
be numerously attended. The votes of the elector.s are
promises of support.

City Sewers Commission,

The members of this Commission met at the Guildhall
yesterday under the presidency of Deputy De Jersey.
In the course of the sitting several summonses were
heard against persons who had neglected to comply with
notices which had been served upon them requiring the
completion of works of a sanatory nature upon premises
situate in Elim-place, Three Nun-yard, and in Middle—
street, Cloth-fair, the houses in question being
.inhabited
by families of poor persons.
The inspector of sanatory works, Mr. Henry Parsons,
who had taken out the summonses was heard, and an order
was made in each of the cases for the completion of the
works within seven days. In the event of the necessary
works not being completed at the expiration of that puled,
it was further decided by the Commissioners to take the
matter into their own hands, and charge the owners of the
property with the expenses of performing the required
works.

The principal clerk, Mr. JOSEPH DAY, reported that he
had received from the Metropolitan Board of Works the
sum of £2,033, which amount had been contributed by the
Board towards the cost of improvements carried out by the
Commissioners of Sewers within the City.
Mr. A. J. BAYLIS, the solicitor to the Commission, stated
that on the 23d inst. he attended before Alderman Hale at
the Guildhall Police-court, and procured the condemnation
of a quantity of diseased meat, consisting of a quarter of a
cow, a head, tongue, and liver, which had been seized in
Newgate-market. The meat had been sent up from Tam-
worth, and had been prepared and dressed for sale in a
manner calculated to hide all appearance of dssease except
on close examination. The alderman on close inspection
of the meat expressed himself in very strong terms as to
the disgraceful state it was in, and directed that the case
should be reported to the Court of Sewers, with a view to
further procedings being taken.

The Court decided to instruct the solicitor to take further
proceedings against the person who had sent the meat to
London.

SANATORY STATE OF THE CITY.

Dr. LETHEBY laid before the Court the following report
on the sanatory state of the City.
"To the Honourable the Commissioners of Sewers of the
City of London.

" Gentlemen,—The inspectors' returns which are before
you relate to 201 houses that have been inspected during the
week, and I submit a list of 52 places for sanatory improve-
ment.

" I also submit a certificate of the use of the houses Nos.
1,2, 3, and 4, in Bell-alley, Golden-lane, as common nightly
lodging-houses, it being necessary that the same should be
registered as common lodging-houses.
" The markets and slaughter houses have been duly in-
spected, and the officers have condemned 3,0871b5. of meat
as unfit for human food. The greater part of it was in a
state of disease, and in one case, that of a bullock from Boot
Warton, the meat was so bad that the circumstances re-
quire investigation by the solicitor, with a view to further
proceedings.
" I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) "Hy. LETHERY."
TILE GAS SUPPLY TO TILE CITY.

Dr. LEruENv reported that the illuminating power of the
gas supplied to the City during the past week had been as
follows :—City Gas Company 15.99 sperm candles, Char•
tered 12.83, Great Central 13.39. The average illuminating
power of each company's gas had been above the require-
ments of the Act of Parliament, but the proportion of sul-
phur had, except in the case of the City's gas, been above
that sanctioned by the Act. The proportion of sulphur in
100 cubic feet of gas was—ln the City Company's gas 19.4
grains, Chartered 23.1 grains, and Great Central 22 2 grains.
Some unimportant business was disposed of, and the
Court adjourned.
